BACKGROUND

Twitter is an indicator of real-world performance, thus, is an appropriate arena to assess the social consideration and attitudes toward psychosis.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to perform a mixed-methods study of the content and key metrics of tweets referring to psychosis in comparison with tweets referring to control diseases (breast cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer, and human immunodeficiency virus).

METHODS

Each tweet’s content was rated as nonmedical (NM: testimonies, health care products, solidarity or awareness and misuse) or medical (M: included a reference to the illness’s diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, or prevention). NM tweets were classified as positive or pejorative. We assessed the appropriateness of the medical content. The number of retweets generated and the potential reach and impact of the hashtags analyzed was also investigated.

RESULTS

We analyzed a total of 15,443 tweets: 8055 classified as NM and 7287 as M. Psychosis-related tweets (PRT) had a significantly higher frequency of misuse 33.3% (212/636) vs 1.15% (853/7419; P<.001) and pejorative content 36.2% (231/636) vs 11.33% (840/7419; P<.001). The medical content of the PRT showed the highest scientific appropriateness 100% (391/391) vs 93.66% (6030/6439; P<.001) and had a higher frequency of content about disease prevention. The potential reach and impact of the tweets related to psychosis were low, but they had a high retweet-to-tweet ratio.

CONCLUSIONS

We show a reduced number and a different pattern of contents in tweets about psychosis compared with control diseases. PRT showed a predominance of nonmedical content with increased frequencies of misuse and pejorative tone. However, the medical content of PRT showed high scientific appropriateness aimed toward prevention.

Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND

Mobile health (mHealth) and Web-based research methods are becoming more commonplace for researchers. However, there is a lack of mHealth and Web-based human papillomavirus (HPV) prevention experimental studies that discuss potential issues that may arise.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of research procedures and discuss the challenges and lessons learned from an mHealth and Web-based HPV prevention experimental study targeting female Korean American college students in the United States.

METHODS

A pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in an mHealth and Web-based platform with 104 female Korean American college students aged 18-26 years between September 2016 and December 2016. Participants were randomized to either the experimental group (a storytelling video intervention) or the comparison group (a nonnarrative, information-based intervention). Outcomes included the feasibility of research procedures (recruitment, eligibility, randomization, and retention).

RESULTS

From September 2016 to October 2016, we recorded 225 entries in our initial eligibility survey. The eligibility rate was 54.2% (122/225). This study demonstrated a high recruitment rate (95.6%, 111/122) and retention rate (83.7%, 87/104) at the 2-month follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings from this study demonstrated sufficient feasibility in terms of research procedures to justify a full-scale RCT. Given the increased possibility of invalid or misrepresentative entries in mHealth and Web-based studies, strategies for detection and prevention are critical.
Does Shared Leadership Eliminate the Notion of Followership in Organizations?
Authors: Aboiron Jeremie
Published: March 2019

This text explains the concept of leadership in the context of shared leadership within organizations by highlighting the model of followership in organizational change. Even if the shared leadership is established through the leader of the team, members of a team can have responsibilities and they can influence each other. But this theory of shared leadership raises limits such as the notion of trust for example. A good follower capacity of team member allows the success of this model; this is why we can use the term shared follower instead of shared leadership.

Published: March 2019

Urolithiasis is a frequent and recurrent problem in dogs around the world. Several epidemiological studies based on mineral composition of uroliths have been carried out in different geographical areas. The objective of this study was to analyze epidemiological data of 195 dogs with urolithiasis from the metropolitan area of Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico. To determine the chemical composition of uroliths, quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed by means of stereoscopic microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The dogs` median age was six years and a male-female ratio of 1.4:1 was observed. The most affected pure breed dogs were schnauzer, poodle, Labrador retriever, Yorkshire terrier, and German shepherd. The frequency of uroliths of struvite, calcium oxalate, urates, mixes, and compounds, is similar to the one found in other studies performed in other populations. However, a much higher frequency of silicate-containing uroliths (16.92%) was observed, both in a pure form as well as in mineral mixtures. These results led us to suggest the need to develop further investigations to determine the origin of this high frequency.Figure 1. Different types of uroliths. Note the differences in shape, size, color, and number; however, none of these characteristics is specific to a particular mineral composition.

Published: March 2019

Ocular diseases are sub-diagnosed in bird species, partly because of limited diagnostic methods and lack of reference data. Placement of Schirmer tear test strips in the bottom of the conjunctival sac of birds for tear flow measurement can prove to be difficult, whereas paper tips commonly used for dental procedures may be easier to use, due to a more adequate size and shape. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess and compare tear flow values, using ABC Dental® # 30 color paper tips and TearFloTM Test strips in Red-lored Parrots (Amazona autumnalis) (n = 26). Captive birds of undetermined sex were housed in groups under similar environmental conditions and fed the same diet. All animals were deemed healthy through remote and physical examinations. Average tear flow values of 0.6365 ± 0.032 cm/min and 0.5942 ± 0.032 cm/min were obtained with the Schirmer strips test and the endodontic tips respectively. Lack of difference in observed values between measurement techniques (p = 0.3629) indicates that endodontic tips may be a good alternative for tear flow assessment in Red-lored parrots. In addition, endodontic tips are more cost effective and may be less invasive. This study stresses the need to establish species specific ophthalmic reference values for clinical practice in birds, since differences have been reported even in specimens within the same genus.Figure 1.

Beetroot pomace is an industrial by-product and ecological problem, as well as a potential rich source of natural antioxidants and pigments. In the present study, beetroot pomace extract (BPE) was encapsulated in non-plasmolysed, plasmolysed, and living Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells by a freezedrying method. Living and dead yeast cells were microscopically assessed by using Neubauer chamber in order todetermine how the freeze-drying procedure affects changes in the yeast cell number. Total and surface phenolic contents were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and encapsulation efficiency (EE) was calculated. The best EE was achieved in the case when BPE was encapsulated in living yeast cells. The successful encapsulation of BPE in yeast cells was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). These results report the encapsulation of sensitive compounds in yeast cells by freeze-drying, showing that it is a good method for valuable compound preservation and has a potential use in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Authors: Cardoso João , Silva Valter , Eusébio Daniela , Carvalho Tiago , Brito Paulo
Published: March 2019

A 2-D numerical simulation approach was implemented to describe the gasification process of olive pomace in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor. The numerical model was validated under experimental gasification runs performed in a 250 kWth quasi-industrial biomass gasifier. The producer gas composition, H2/CO ratio, CH4/H2 ratio, cold gas efficiency and tar content were evaluated. The most suitable applications for the potential use of olive pomace as an energy source in Portugal were assessed based on the results. A techno-economic study and a Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis were performed to assess the feasibility and foresee the main investment risks in conducting olive pomace gasification in small facilities. Results indicated that olive pomace gasification is more suitable for domestic purposes. The low cold gas efficiency of the process (around 20%) turns the process more appropriate for producer gas production in small cogeneration facilities. Olive pomace gasification solutions showed viable economic performance in small cogeneration solutions for agriculture waste-to-energy recovery in olive oil agriculture cooperatives. However, the slender profitability may turn the project unattractive for most investors from a financial standpoint.

El aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP) ha sido utilizado como método en escuelas de medicina de diferentes universidades. Sin embargo, en algunas ocasiones se ha puesto en duda su utilidad para construir conocimientos en anatomía, lo cual sucede porque al momento de realizar la evaluación, esta se enfoca en corroborar aprendizajes mediante exámenes con preguntas que son incongruentes con el ABP. En tal sentido, el objetivo de esta investigación fue diseñar, aplicar y evaluar una estrategia de ABP para fomentar el desarrollo del aprendizaje significativo crítico en estudiantes que cursan la asignatura de anatomía. El eje principal de la estrategia fue un problema común en la vida real de los estudiantes. Se utilizaron organizadores de información y preguntas formuladas por los propios estudiantes para orientar el aprendizaje, de modo que se evitó la transmisión verbal de información por parte del experto para darle paso a la comunicación entre estudiantes. El estudio se realizó en la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), mediante una metodología que se aplicó en cuatro fases: la primera se centró en el diseño de la estrategia y en la elaboración y validación de los instrumentos de evaluación; la segunda consistió en un diagnóstico situacional; en la tercera se implementó la estrategia, y en la cuarta se realizó la evaluación final. La comparación de los resultados entre la evaluación inicial y final de los conocimientos declarativos, procedimentales y actitudinales valorales, así como la evaluación de la efectividad de la estrategia muestran que esta impactó de forma positiva en la mayoría de los estudiantes, quienes reconocieron la importancia de la anatomía en las lesiones de cuello. De hecho, solo una minoría de alumnos no logró construir el aprendizaje de la misma forma que sus compañeros, por lo que corresponde al maestro, como profesional de la educación, proponer nuevas metodologías de enseñanza y aprendizaje. En concreto, 98.6 % de los estudiantes evaluaron la estrategia como efectiva o muy efectiva para aprender de manera autónoma, es decir, sin que el maestro declare la información, y solo un estudiante (que representa 1.2 % de los participantes) evaluó la estrategia como poco efectiva. Conclusiones: Aunque no existe una estrategia universal para promover la construcción del conocimiento de todos los estudiantes, el ABP logró fomentar el aprendizaje significativo crítico en la mayoría de los alumnos inscritos en una asignatura de anatomía en la Facultad de Medicina de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla.

The Utilization of Fintech (P2P Landing) as SME’s Capital Solution in Indonesia: Perspective in Islamic Economics (Qirad)
Authors: Rumondang Astri
Published: March 2019

FinTech as a technology-based financial service, generally opens opportunities for increased efficiency in creating new business, better risk management and ease of transactions and trading activities. The limited access to capital resources (particularly banking) and with many SMEs that are unable to obtain financial services, is utilized by FinTech (P2P lending) practicioners as a good business opportunity at this moment. Fintech P2P Lending is considered able to overcome the problems of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and become one of the captial solution and empowerment strategy for SME in the future. This is because it enables small business owners or SME to get their capital in a shorter time with more simple terms and conditions, and also with the shorter loan period. It will be encouraging the development of SMEs, which will, in a long run, affect the equity level of welfare and the economy of the middle classes. As one of the majority Muslim countries, Indonesia should apply the FinTech-based financial transaction service pattern in accordance with the perspective in Islamic economics (Qirad). Where in lending the capital must be in accordance with the provisions set by God. In Qirad, it is stipulated that in lending the capital to others, then the lender has to know or understand what type of business will be done by the borrower.
Islamic Work Ethics and Economic Development in Islamic Countries: Bridging Between Theory and Reality
Authors: Ibrahim Azharsyah
Published: March 2019

The issue work ethic and religion become popular when Max Weber developed a theory on Protestant Work Ethics (PWE) which seems later is able to reinforce the Western economy through its capitalism ideology. In his work, Weber claimed that only the Protestant Christian could accelerate and boost up the economy while none of the eastern religions including Islam would be able to do so. Although many scholars have refused the claim, the backwardness of many Islamic states, ethically and economically, has risen the question about the teaching of Islamic religion on work activities. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the concept of work ethics from an Islamic perspective. In specific, it intends to extract the concept, principle, dimension and values of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) to be operationalized into daily practices. It revealed that many Quranic verses and Hadiths have directly and indirectly discussed the concept of work ethics in Islam. If properly operationalized, it can bridge the gap between the theory of IWE and the realities of economic development in Islamic states. Adherence to it will influence the economic development in Islamic countries that brings virtuous worldly life (al-falah fi al-dunya), as well as preparing for the success of afterlife (al-falah fi al-akhirah).

Published: March 2019

Effective management of information is a systematic design of generation, control and transmission of information in a close or open inter-related system for the attainment of the system’s goals. As a powerful tool that has been utilized to win lost battles for centuries, control of information have been the winning bait of leaders against their followers in many underdeveloped worlds. Little input on information sharing and networking of vulnerable group as seen in text message programme of Kenya’s farmers have shown astronomical improvement of farmers life and economy. Hinging on the backdrop of this concept, this study conducted a preliminary interview with Kano state farmers to assess their level of contact with the government and financial related agencies. The study revealed a wide communication gap between the farmers and government programmes and Corruption has been identified as the major problem. Using simple but modern means of communication, we design and propose a root-to-top communication programme for effective networking of information management with the view of circumventing the corruption-ridden conventional means of communication. Three communication stages of the proposed programme includes; the enlightenment, implementation and feedback mechanism. Therefore, cluster communication is identified as one of the key to success of bridging communication gap between government and other financial related agencies with farmers.  It is therefore recommended that site specific features be considered before application of any cluster communication system for effective service delivery.

Published: March 2019

The challenges of the digital revolution need critical rethinking the usual functions of the university libraries and to establish what characteristics it must have in order to adapt effectively to the new technological situation.

The article analyzes the reasons for the frequent lack of demand by researchers of digitized textual heritage and presents the idea of a problem-thematic online resource “Reconstructing the Reader: a Rare Book Collection in the Regional Cultural Landscape” developed by the Laboratory for Library and Communicative Studies (Tomsk State University).

Conceptually, its implementation aims at overcoming the positivistic approach to the library as a “repository of information on paper and electronic medium”, and in practice — at identifying the ways to integrate the university libraries into a new format of scientific knowledge and scholarly communications.

Published: March 2019

The aim of this article is to analyze and assess the scientific collaboration between the Republic of Armenia (RA) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member-states.

In the Introduction, the article dwells into the integration processes that started right after the collapse of the Soviet Union with a main emphasis on the EAEU. The situation in the scientific sphere in Armenia is presented briefly, followed by highlighting the role of international scientific collaboration as a way to overcome a crisis in the science field.

The role of the Committee of Sciences of the RA in the development of international collaboration is emphasized. The first steps in the framework of EAEU to activate scientific-technical cooperation are stressed.

The Materials and Methods Section outlines the databases on which the study is based, that are the Web of Science Core Collection (WOS CC) and the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). The timeframe for the data retrieved from the WOS CC is 1991–2016, while for the RSCI — 2005–2016. The types of collaborations, as well as five stages of research — data retrieval from the WOS CC and the RSCI, data cleaning, quantitative analysis of citation, quantitative analysis of co-authored papers of the RA with each EAEU member-state and the distribution of the co-authored papers by the scientific fields — are mentioned.

The Results Section presents the results of the study by the five mentioned stages and the relevant analysis.

The Discussion and Conclusion Section presents the main conclusions of the study. It mainly stresses that Russia is the main scientific partner of Armenia, followed by Belarus. Scientific collaboration of Armenia with Kazakhstan and Kirgizia are on a very low level. Physics was recognized to be the leading field of collaboration. Generally, the article concludes that it is too early to speak about the role of the EAEU in the development of scientific collaboration between the member-states. In order to assure a stable growth of collaboration among the EAEU member-states a huge work should be done.
INSUFFICIENT DEFINITIONS OR A VAGUELY GRASPED NOTION? ON DEFINITIONS OF “IMPACT”
Authors: Lazarev V. S.
Published: March 2019

Introduction.For a better theoretical understanding of the notion of “impact” (introduced by E. Garfield in 1955) definitions and perceptions of the mentioned notion used in scientometric literature have been analyzed.

Materials and methods.Analytical interpretation of the scientific literature related to this problem (since 1955). The author considers the concept “impact” in its initial meaning of ‘scientific impact’.

Results.The existing and used meanings of the term “impact” either are treated as a synonym of “influence” or do not go beyond the concept of “strong impression”, or coincide with the meaning of the term “pertinence”, or refer to purely technical indicators.

Discussion and Conclusions.The conclusion has been made that that it is unreasonable to consider “impact” as a key notion of scientometrics because the notion is not sufficiently defined.

Published: March 2019

Research background: The global banking network has been undergoing structural changes since the recent financial crisis. Previous studies on connectedness of global banking network during post-crisis period revealed the trends of regionalization and segmentation. Our previous research has also shown that during post-crisis period the level of regionalization within the EU banking network has increased; the network became more clustered and more decentralized. This paper continues our research of structural changes of EU banking network during post-crisis period by adding a global context and questioning the connectedness of EU banking network within global banking system.

Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to evaluate the EU banking network?s connectedness in the global context during the post-crisis period.

Methods: network analysis method and data on yearly flows of BIS bilateral interbank cross-border claim were used to evaluate the connectedness of global and EU banking systems.

Findings & Value added: Evaluation of the global banking network?s connected-ness revealed that global banking network density decreased by 4.50 %, suggesting that connectedness is decreasing, but it is happening slowly. Structural changes in the global banking network did happen during post-crisis period with regards to out-degree, betweenness and closeness centrality indicators. In the global context, the EU banking network became more connected during post-crisis period. The EU banking network was regionalized in 2011, but this regionalization disappeared in 2015, as the level of intraregional density decreased in 2015 and became lower than the interregional density. This research contributes to previous research in a way that it applies intraregional and interregional network density measures for evaluation of the EU banking network?s connectedness, and analyses it as a subset of the global banking network.
Spatial diversity of effectiveness of forms of professional activisation in Poland in years 2008?2014 by poviats
Authors: Bieszk-Stolorz Beata , Dmytrów Krzysztof
Published: March 2019

Research background: Because the active labour market policy requires high resources, it is important to analyse the effectiveness of its instruments. For the unemployment, it is essential to identify the groups of persons threatened by the long-term unemployment, to assess the impact of programmes on exit from unemployment and monitoring the disbursement of funds.

Purpose of the article: The goal of the article was identification of clusters of poviats in Poland with respect to cost and employment effectiveness of basic forms of professional activisation in the years 2008?2014.

Methods: The poviats were clustered by means of the k-means method. Variables were standardised and the number of clusters was determined by means of the v-fold cross-validation.

Findings & Value added: The analysis did not allow to unambiguously specify areas in Poland with better use of funds allocated in the activisation programmes. The poviats in the middle-east Poland were generally characterized by worse values of effectiveness. However, the unemployment rate in these areas was relatively small. On the contrary, the poviats in the north-east Poland had high unemployment rate and the funds were used effectively. Assessment of effectiveness of forms of professional activisation is very important because the activities of poviat labour offices influence the counteraction to unemployment.
INVESTIGATION OF THE INTENSITY OF CONVECTIVE FOAM DRYING OF GELATIN BROTH FROM WASTES OF ORDINARY FISH PROCESSING

The intensity of the process of convective foam drying of gelatinized broth prepared from ordinary fish waste in the Astrakhan region was studied experimentally. The product was dried in a foamed state in a layer with a unilateral convective energy supply, as well as in the foamed and natural state in the form of round bars with a uniform convective energy supply. The ranges of variation of the main factors influencing the process were selected and substantiated, and their effect on the objective function (yield of dry gelatin per unit time per unit area) was analyzed. Approximating dependencies of the objective function on the main factors are obtained. According to the results of the research, application of a uniform convective energy supply in the course of drying gelatin broth under rational regimes allows to increase specific productivity of the process by 1.5 times, compared to drying with a unilateral energy supply, and to shorten the drying time from 4.2 to 2.3 hours. In this case, foaming the product results in more than a twofold increase in productivity while reducing the drying time by almost twice. The rational regimes for carrying out the process of convective drying of gelatinized broth in producing dry gelatin are determined: convective drying of the gelatinized broth should be conducted in a foamed state, with a uniform power supply, in the form of bars with circular cross section under the following conditions: initial diameter dn of a round bar = 0.004 m, initial moisture wn of product = 75%, flow rate v of the drying agent not less than 4.5 m/s, temperature T of the drying agent = 293-295 K. The indicated regimes provide the highest specific yield of the dry product G = 0.33 kg/(m2·h) and are recommended for practical use in order to increase the intensity of the process while maintaining the quality of dry gelatin.

Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Xu Yidan
Published: March 2019

The paper deals with the popular Russian Questionnaire on the Value-Accessibility Ratio in Various Life Areas developed by E.B. Fantalova and its Chinese version. The importance of this method for studying the motivational and value sphere of personality has encouraged Chinese psychologists to adapt the above-mentioned questionnaire for Chinese students. The research describes the contents of the questionnaire and reveals the indicators that can be obtained. The paper demonstrates its adaptation stages: the choice of stimulus materials relevant to cultural context; equivalent translation of the questionnaire into the Chinese language; a check of the Chinese version on construct validity, retest reliability, and internal consistency reliability. The author concludes that the Chinese-language questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool suitable for psychological assessment, correction, and scientific research.
Empathic and reflexive processes in physicians and surgeons
Authors:   South Ural State University  (National Research University), Manuilov Gennady Valeryevich
Published: March 2019

The paper summarizes and analyzes the results of a study on empathic and reflexive processes among physicians and surgeons in different medical institutions. The study involved 215 doctors. The research identifies that there is a high or very high level of empathy in all groups. Physicians of outpatient departments and surgeons of hospitals are most prone to empathy. The systemic reflexive process is typical for physicians from outpatient departments. Only the respondents of this group demonstrate its standard values. Unproductive types of reflexive processes, such as introspection, exceed the standard values among physicians and surgeons of outpatient clinics. Quasi-reflection does not exceed the standard values in all groups. The research findings can be used as a part of proficiency enhancement and continuing medical education through additional recommendations and specialized modules, courses, and training for physicians and surgeons in order to develop systemic medical judgment and patient compliance and improve the quality of medical assistance.
Regional career guidance practices in the Republic of Karelia

The purpose of the study is to systematize the regional career guidance practices developed for school students at a university. The study focuses on university career guidance. The research subject is the modern forms of university-school interaction. The paper describes the types of career guidance: holiday school, distance learning, excursions to educational institutions. The relevance of the research is determined by the following reasons: the focus on early professional self-determination, career choice based on personal desire and opportunities, a loss of prestige of teaching professions. It is necessary to apply the innovative types of school student engagement because future applicants are early involved in a rapid pace of life. The information on majors and admission rules available from booklets and Welcome Days is insufficient for them. Special attention is paid to the active involvement of entrants from the regions of the Republic of Karelia. Universities hold distance psychological and educational skills contests and provide other innovative interactions in this regard. The use of distance career guidance, i.e. electronic case technology for curriculum subjects, is effective for applicants from remote districts. The authors note that interaction with high school students implies the intensive awareness raising of professions that can be achieved while studying at the Department.
