Endocrinología y epistemología: el eje hipotálamo-hipófisis-ovario revisitado
Authors: Henao Guillermo
Published: April 2020

La historia del descubrimiento del eje hipotálamo-hipófisis-ovario y su papel en los sistemas nervioso, endocrino y reproductivo se correlaciona con las concepciones sobre la existencia de sutiles sustancias en un comienzo denominadas espíritus animales y recientemente con diversos nombres, entre ellos hormonas y neurotransmisores. Se ha seguido un modelo de serie lineal A...B, acorde con el principio «una causa, un efecto», si bien su descubrimiento fue al contrario, «efecto, causa». El esquema se rompió con los descubrimientos de la retroacción hormonal, en la cual el efecto puede convertirse en causa, y la participación aleatoria de múltiples factores externos al eje, unos internos al organismo, otros externos a él. Hay superposición entre los sistemas exocrino, endocrino, inmunológico y nervioso, de tal manera que en ciertos momentos se borran los tradicionales límites entre ellos, por lo cual las interdependencias pueden sobrepasar la capacidad de los métodos diagnósticos y terapéuticos en uso. Esto tiene consecuencias prácticas no solo terapéuticas sino también éticas, por lo que se requiere precaución en el acto médico.

Published: April 2020

Aile içi şiddet, bir kişinin aynı evi paylaştığı veya evli olduğu diğer kişiye karşı uyguladığı şiddet veya kötüye kullanımdır. Kadınlar ve çocukların çoğu kez fiziksel olarak güçsüz ve savunmasız olması nedeniyle en çok onlar aile içi şiddetin mağduru olmaktadır. Aslında aile içi şiddet sadece fiziksel şiddeti içermez. Kadınlar aynı zamanda evlilikte psikolojik, cinsel ve ekonomik şiddetin de mağduru olabilir. Aile içi şiddet, kadınların ruh sağlığının ve yaşam kalitesinin bozulmasına yol açar. Ayrıca şiddete maruziyet bu kadınların tıbbi hizmet kullanımını artırır ve onların çocuklarının da uzun vadede ruhsal gelişimini bozar. Aile içi şiddete tanık olan çocuklar bazı davranışsal ve emosyonel bozulmalar yaşar. Daha da ötesi bu çocuklar sonraki yaşamında şiddetin mağduru veya uygulayıcısı olurlar. Kadına karşı aile içi şiddet bu kadınlarda depresyon, anksiyete ve posttravmatik stres bozukluğu için risk faktörüdür. Bundan dolayı psikiyatri polikliniklerine bu nedenlerle yardım almak için başvuran kadınlarda aile içi şiddetin sorgulanması kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu gözden geçirme yazısında kadına karşı aile içi şiddeti, sıklığını, aile içi şiddeti etkileyen değişkenleri incelenerek, aile içi şiddetin buna maruz kalan kadın ve onların çocukları üzerindeki etkisi gözden geçirilmiştir.

O fenômeno de nasalização em línguas Tupí-Guaraní
Authors: Miranda Camille Cardoso , Picanço Gessiane Lobato
Published: April 2020

Tupí-Guaraní, tronco Tupí. Para averiguação do processo de nasalidade em línguas Tupí-Guaraní utiliza-se como pressuposto teórico principal a abordagem tipológica de Walker (1998), para verificar e compreender, a partir de uma hierarquia tipológica de harmonia nasal, segmentos que podem ser gatilhos ou alvos do espalhamento nasal. O estudo também utiliza as considerações de Ohala (1993)  e Cohn (1990, 1993) para examinar o processo de nasalização como efeito fonético ou fonológico. A abordagem tipológica permitiu observar o comportamento de consoantes e vogais em relação à nasalidade, possibilitando sua classificação em termos de papéis que desempenham, sejam como gatilhos, alvos, bloqueadores ou transparentes. Além disso, verifica-se também a direcionalidade da nasalização que é predominantemente à esquerda (regressiva). Os resultados mostram que, na família Tupí-Guaraní, há o predomínio de vogais nasais como engatilhadoras, seguidas de consoantes nasais, ou ambas. Os alvos são predominantemente vogais, glides e líquidas; já as obstruintes surdas, em geral, comportam-se como bloqueadoras, mas há línguas em que elas são transparentes ao processo. O domínio da nasalidade nessas línguas é preeminentemente de dois tipos: Local, quando é consoante nasal (N) e a longa distância quando é vogal nasal (Ṽ).
Professoras dos anos iniciais em uma experiência com Modelagem Matemática

Published: April 2020

Neste artigo apresentamos a analisamos o relato de uma primeira experiência de professoras dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental com Modelagem Matemática. A experiência com a situação-problema “suco de laranja” ocorreu em um dos encontros de um grupo colaborativo formado por professoras atuantes nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, alunos de graduação em licenciatura em química, em licenciatura em matemática e professoras formadoras. Foram analisadas as produções escritas das professoras, bem como as transcrições das gravações de áudio e vídeo do encontro, a partir das fases de desenvolvimento de uma atividade de modelagem. A análise revelou, entre outras coisas, que os problemas elaborados por um grupo de professoras, bem como as resoluções aproximam-se muito dos problemas de rotina da sala de aula. Entretanto, os problemas elaborados pelas professoras de outros dois grupos aproximam-se mais de problemas esperados na perspectiva da modelagem matemática. De todo modo, o que podemos conjecturar é que a atividade de modelagem matemática apresentou um caráter dinâmico, bem como possibilitou uma ressignificação da fase matematização que se apresentou de maneira transversal em todo o encaminhamento realizado pelas professoras.

Authors: Mondini Fabiane , Bicudo Maria Aparecida Viggiani
Published: April 2020

O texto tem por objetivo expor a organização do ensino de matemática durante a Primeira República Brasileira. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, desenvolvida na abordagem fenomenológica, guiada pelos procedimentos da hermenêutica gadameriana que analisa a legislação escolar, visando a expor e discutir os modos pelos quais matemática se faz presente. O período estudado é contextualizado historicamente, tendo em vista compreender concepções de ciência, de matemática e de educação/ensino que estão no solo que sustenta a legislação focada. São evidenciados os principais marcos legais e o que estes dizem sobre a instrução pública. Por último, é dado enfoque aos modos pelos quais o ensino de matemática está organizado no contexto educacional, evidenciando as concepções de ciência e de educação/ensino copresentes no momento histórico em que os documentos sob investigação foram editados. A inserção dos estudos que expõem essas compreensões é característico de um trabalho hermenêutico que tira da zona de obscuridade ideias não expostas em textos e contextos, o que contribui para a criação algumas concepções ao longo da temporalidade histórica da educação neste país.

Published: April 2020

A infecção por SARS-CoV-2 tem direcionado a atenção de pesquisadores para a criação de estratégias de prevenção e gestão clínica da infecção COVID-19. Alguns grupos populacionais devem ser priorizados como as gestantes e os recém-nascidos. Assim, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de estudos observacionais e documentos oficiais a fim de explorar e sintetizar evidências e recomendações sobre a atenção e o manejo de gestantes e recém-nascidos suspeitos ou confirmados com a infecção. Utilizou-se a base de dados PubMed, a biblioteca virtual Scielo, as plataformas de sociedades científicas e sites governamentais. Foram incluídas 33 referências organizadas em: atenção à saúde das gestantes com suspeita ou diagnóstico de infecção por SARS-CoV-2: epidemiologia e caracterização, cuidado pré-natal e realização de procedimentos eletivos, recomendações quanto via de nascimento, orientações para a admissão, trabalho de parto/parto e puerpério, agentes farmacológicos e monitoração; e manejo de recém-nascidos filhos de mulheres com diagnóstico de infecção COVID-19: epidemiologia e caracterização de recém-nascidos, risco de infecção por transmissão vertical e no pós parto,  amamentação e manejo dos cuidados com recém-nascidos. As recomendações contidas no artigo são passíveis de mudanças diante das novas descobertas sobre o comportamento e repercussões da doença em gestantes, puérperas e recém-nascidos.

Published: April 2020

Neste estudo, chás em infusão e extrato solúvel de H. sabdariffa L. de três marcas revendidas em Palmas/TO, foram usadas com o objetivo de avaliar os teores de fenóis, flavonoides, taninos (totais e condensados) e antocianinas monoméricas, bem como o poder antioxidante e os teores de açúcares (redutores e não redutores). Para as avaliações, foram utilizados o método colorimétrico de Folin-Ciocalteu para fenóis totais e flavonoides, taninos totais por complexação com caseína e os condensados pelo método do butanol-HCL. A quantificação de antocianinas monoméricas foi realizada pelo método do pH diferencial e o poder antioxidante com ferricianeto, o sequestro de radicais livres pelo radical 2,2-difenil-1picril-hidrazil e os açúcares com o ácido 3-5 dinitrossalicilico. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. Constatamos que os chás de hibisco por infusão foram os que apresentaram maiores quantidades de fenóis totais, flavonoides, taninos totais e condensados e antocianinas. Os infusos também apresentaram maior poder antioxidante. Contudo, os extratos solúveis apresentaram maiores quantidades de açucares, o que demonstra que usar partes da planta, precisamente seu cálice seco preserva as propriedades benéficas e medicinais dessa erva.

EBSD Microstructure Mapping of Zr47.5Cu45.5Al5Co2 Bulk Metallic Glass Matrix Composite to Ascertain the Effect of Inoculation in Promoting Crystallinity
Authors: Rafique Muhammad Musaddique Ali
Published: April 2020

Bulk metallic glass matrix composites have emerged as competent structural material of future bearing potential structural applications. However, the optimum percentage of crystallinity required to produce enough toughness that it can serve as structural component is still a matter of debate. In this study, an effort is made to address this problem by inoculation. A controlled amount of carefully selected inoculant is introduced in Zr47.5Cu45.5Al5Co2 bulk metallic glass matrix composite during melting and solidification. Its effect in promoting crystallinity is checked by detailed electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) mapping. Proper pattern capture, background correction, binning, Hough space transformation, step size selection, indexing and matching with well-defined crystal structure files have shown to reflect upon map quality. This shows and bears direct relation with effect of inoculation. Results from two independent laboratories are reported. Inoculation treatment is shown to be advantageous.
Vegetation Structural Complexity and Biodiversity Across Elevation Gradients in the Great Smoky Mountains
Authors: Walter Jonathan , Stovall Atticus , Atkins Jeff
Published: April 2020

Questions: Elevation, biodiversity, and forest structure are commonly correlated, but their relationships near the positive extremes of biodiversity and elevation are unclear. We asked 1) How does forest structure vary with elevation in a high biodiversity, high topographic complexity region? 2) Does forest structure predict vascular plant biodiversity? 3) Is plant biodiversity more strongly related to elevation or to forest structure? Location: Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USAMethods: We used terrestrial LiDAR scanning (TLS) to characterize vegetation structure in 12 forest plots. We combined two new canopy structural complexity metrics with traditional TLS-derived forest structural metrics and vascular plant biodiversity data to investigate correlations among forest structure metrics, biodiversity, and elevation. Results: Forest structure varied widely across plots spanning the elevational range of GRSM. Our new measures of canopy density (Depth) and structural complexity (σDepth) were sensitive to structural variations and effectively summarized horizontal and vertical dimensions of structural complexity. Vascular plant biodiversity was negatively correlated with elevation, and more strongly positively correlated with vegetation structure variables. Conclusions: The strong correlations we observed between canopy structural complexity and biodiversity suggest that structural complexity metrics could be used to assay plant biodiversity over large areas in concert with airborne and spaceborne platforms.

Published: April 2020

Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes after bilateral mix-and-match cataract surgery using extended depth of focus (EDOF) and diffractive multifocal (DMF) intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods: Thirty-seven patients received Tecnis Symfony EDOF IOL (ZXR00) implantation in the dominant eye, and Tecnis +3.25 DMF IOL (ZLB00) in the non-dominant eye. Patients were followed for 3 months, and uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA) , uncorrected intermediate and near visual acuity (UIVA, UNVA), contrast sensitivity, defocus curves, stereopsis, and patient satisfaction were assessed. Results: At 3 months, mean logMAR UDVA was 0.07 ± 0.09 in EDOF IOL eyes, 0.12 ± 0.11 in DMF IOL eyes, and 0.02 ± 0.05 in both eyes. UIVA was 0.11 ± 0.11 in EDOF IOL eyes, 0.16 ± 0.12 in DMF IOL eyes, and 0.04 ± 0.07 in both eyes. UNVA was 0.25 ± 0.15 in EDOF IOL eyes, 0.22 ± 0.16 in DMF IOL eyes, and 0.13 ± 0.13 in both eyes. Thirty patients(81.1%) were more than satisfied with near vision, and 8 patients(21.6%) complained of severe glare and halo. Spectacle independence for near vision was achieved in 34 patients(91.9%), and 31 patients(83.8%) had better than a 50 second arc of stereopsis. Conclusion: Mix-and-match cataract surgery with EDOF and DMF IOL implantation provided good visual outcomes through all distances. Also excellent patient satisfaction was achieved with high level of spectacle independence and minimal photic phenomena.

The review provides the data on the epidemic condition of tularemia foci in countries neighboring Russia and ongoing preventive measures in these territories. The highest tularemia incidence in the stated countries and in the world as a whole is observed in Finland. In 2019, 42 cases of human infection with tularemia pathogen were recorded in the territory of the Russian Federation, 85 % of which occur in three Federal Districts: North-Western, Central, and Siberian. Epizootic manifestations of infection of varying degrees of intensity were detected in 51 entities of the Federation. Against this background, sporadic cases of tularemia are registered in 17 regions of the country. The most severe epidemic complications continue in Karelia – 9 patients. Seventeen Francisella tularensis cultures were isolated from environmental objects in the Tver, Yaroslavl, Vologda Regions, in the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic. The paper gives an opinion on the regions in which epidemic complications of tularemia are most likely to occur in 2020.

The trend towards an increase in the West Nile fever incidence among the population in the Russian Federation, recorded in the season of 2018, continued and led to a significant increase in the incidence in 2019 (the indicator was 2 times higher than the long-term average). The features of manifestations of the epidemiological process of WNF in 2019 were identified: early registration of cases of the disease, activation of natural and natural-anthropourgic foci in the Southern Federal District (90 % of the total incidence in the Russian Federation), an increase in the share of neuro-invasive forms, dominance of patients aged 50 and older in the structure of the incidence, late epidemic season ending. It was established that in the season of 2019, the lineage 2 of WNV circulated in the European part of Russia. In the Volgograd Region, simultaneous presence of the West Nile virus and Sindbis virus in mosquitoes Culex pipiens and Culex modestus was identified. It was shown that the most significant factors for predicting the epidemiological situation on West Nile fever in the Volgograd Region are the average seasonal summer air temperature and monthly average indicators of relative humidity in the spring and summer periods, and the average monthly air temperatures in the spring and summer in the Rostov Region. In the Astrakhan Region, a significant correlation dependence of the influence of the considered factors on the incidence of the population has not been established. The forecast of the development of epidemic situation in 2020 does not exclude a possible increase in the incidence in the territories of the European part of Russia, endemic for West Nile fever, and the occurrence of local outbreaks in individual constituent entities, if the complex of climatic conditions and social factors favorable for West Nile virus coincide.

Objective of the study was to conduct phylogenetic analysis of Yersinia pestis strains of the main subspecies, belonging to antique biovar, phylogenetic branch 0.ANT, isolated in XX – early XXI centuries in the foci of Tien-Shan and Pamir-Alay to identify the regularities of spatial-temporal circulation of plague agent in the territory of the foci. Materials and methods. We have carried out whole genome SNP-analysis of Y. pestis strains of antique biovar, isolated in natural foci of Kyrgyz Republic in 1928–2016. Phylogenetic investigation is based on 1646 identified core SNPs in 51 included in the analysis strains of different phylogenetic lines. Phylogenetic tree was constructed using Maximum Likelihood algorithm, PHYML software package, and HKY85 model. Results and discussion. All 29 studied Y. pestis strains isolated between 1928 and 2016 in the foci of Tien-Shan and Pamir-Alay fall under the phylogenetic branches 0.ANT3 and 0.ANT5 of antique biovar of the main subspecies. Strains of 0.ANT3 branch were collected predominantly in Aksay and Alay foci, while strains of 0. ANT5 – in Upper-Naryn and Sarydzhas foci of Tien-Shan. Strains of phylogenetic lines 0.ANT1 and 0.ANT2 were not found in the foci of Kyrgyz Republic. According to the results of whole genome SNP-analysis, Y. pestis strains isolated in the XXI century belong to phylogenetic branch 0.ANT5. This branch also comprises a strain obtained from a patient (lethal case) in Sarydzhas plague focus in 2013. Genetic homogeneity of the modern strains of 0.ANT5 branch and their wide dissemination testify to the extension of the areal of this population and activation of Tien-Shan foci, caused by climate warming. For the first time ever, genomes of Y. pestis 0.ANT5 branch, isolated in XXI century, including clinical strain dated 2013, have been sequenced. We have obtained the whole-genome sequence of Y. pestis strain, 0.ANT3 branch, which caused pneumonic plague outbreak in Tien-Shan in 1928.
Dampak Penggunaan Combine Harvester terhadap Kehilangan Hasil Panen Padi di Provinsi Banten

English
Combined Harvester (CH) aid is part of the Indonesian government policy instrument for accelerating rice production and increasing farmers’ income. In addition to reducing harvesting cost and time, CH may also reduce harvest loss. This study intends to quantify rice yield loss reduction if CH is used for harvesting. The study was conducted in Banten Province in 2014 using primary data collected from 119 CH user farmers and 116 non-user farmers selected purposively. Preliminary analysis was conducted using regression which was estimated with the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. Since OLS estimated regression is prone to sample selection bias, subsequent analysis is conducted using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) estimator with a logistic regression. The PSM analysis support the regression analysis that CH reduces harvest loss. Based on the Stratification Matching, it was found that the CH reduces harvest loss by up to 200.39 kg per hectare or around 3.52% of total yield. It is recommended that the Government facilitates provision of technical assistance and training for CH operator farmers or farmers’ groups particularly the first users aid recipients. The harvest reduction advantage is an additional reason for supporting feasibility of CH scaling out policy in Indonesia.

Bantuan combined harvester (CH) padi adalah salah satu instrumen kebijakan pemerintah Indonesia untuk mendorong peningkatan produksi dan pendapatan petani padi. Walau manfaat utamanya adalah untuk menghemat ongkos dan mempercepat panen, CH juga dapat mengurangi kehilangan panen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghitung kuantitas pengurangan kehilangan hasil usaha tani padi jika panen dilakukan dengan CH. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan data primer dari 119 petani pengguna dan 116 petani nonpengguna CH yang dipilih sengaja di Provinsi Banten pada tahun 2014. Analisis awal dilakukan dengan regresi yang diduga dengan kwadrat terkecil biasa (OLS). Untuk mengatasi potensi bias sampel pada analisis regresi OLS, selanjutnya digunakan penduga Propensity Score Matching (PSM) dengan mempergunakan regresi logistik. Hasil analisis PSM memverifikasi efek positif penggunaan CH terhadap kehilangan hasil berdasarkan analisis regresi OLS. Berdasarkan Stratification Matching didapatkan bahwa penggunan CH dapat menekan kehilangan hasil sebesar 200,39 kg per hektare atau sekitar 3,52% dari total hasil. Disarankan agar pemerintah memfasilitasi pendampingan dan pelatihan teknis kepada petani atau kelompok tani operator, utamanya pengguna pertama penerima bantuan. Manfaat mengurangi kehilangan panen memperkuat kelayakan kebijakan perluasan penggunaan CH di Indonesia.

Indonesian
Defisit produksi gula dalam negeri antara lain disebabkan oleh rendahnya produktivitas usaha tani tebu. Peningkatan efisiensi teknis dapat menjadi solusi untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dan pendapatan petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efisiensi teknis usaha tani tebu dengan metode MLE stochastic frontier production function. Data primer diperoleh dari 61 contoh yang dipilih secara acak dari populasi petani tebu di pabrik gula Pakis Baru dan Trangkil di Kabupaten Pati pada April-Mei  2018.  Analisis menunjukkan bahwa efisiensi teknis dan pendapatan usaha tani tebu dengan sistem benih baru lebih tinggi daripada dengan sistem kepras. Penggunaan pupuk kimia sudah berlebihan. Keanggotaan kelompok tani berdampak signifikan dalam meningkatkan inefisiensi pada sistem benih baru, sedangkan keanggotaan dalam koperasi berpengaruh signifikan dalam menurunkan inefisiensi pada sistem benih baru. Jumlah anggota keluarga berpengaruh signifikan dalam mengurangi inefisiensi teknis sistem kepras.  Efisiensi teknis dan pendapatan usaha tani tebu dapat ditingkatkan melalui optimasi penggunaan sarana produksi dengan mematuhi rekomendasi pabrik mitra dan pemerintah, khususnya penggunaan pupuk sesuai dosis rekomendasi dan penggantian ratun yang sudah berumur tiga tahun dengan benih baru bermutu tinggi sesuai agroekosistem spesifik lokasi. Untuk itu, penyediaan layanan penyuluhan yang efektif merupakan syarat keharusan.

Domestic sugar production deficit is partly caused low productivity of sugarcane farming. Improving technical efficiency may increase farm productivity and income. The study aims to analyze the sugarcane farming technical efficiency by using the stochastic frontier production function. The primary data were obtained from 61 randomly selected samples of sugarcane farmers population of the Pakis Baru and Trangkil sugar factories in Pati Regency in April-May 2018. The study shows that the sugarcane farming technical efficiency and income of the new sugarcane seed system is higher than the ratoon system. Chemical fertilizers have been over used.  Farmer group membership significantly increases inefficiency of the new sugarcane seed system, while the cooperative membership significantly decreases inefficiency of the new sugarcane seed system. Family member significantly decreases technical inefficiency of the ratoon system. Technical efficiency and farmers’ income can be improved by allocating production inputs in efficient manner based on the recommendations of partner Sugar Factory and Government, of in particular, fertilizer utilizations according to the recommended dosages and replacement of the already three years ratoon seeds with new high-quality seeds in accordance with the local agroecosystem condition. To this end, provision of an effective extension service is imperative.
Inequity under Equality: Research on the Benefits Equity of Chinese Basic Medical Insurance
Authors: Diao Li , Liu Yiwei
Published: April 2020

Background: The pursuit of equity is one of the basic principles behind the strengthening of health care reform. China's new rural cooperative medical insurance (NRCMI) and urban residents' basic medical insurance (URBMI) are both “equalized” in terms of fundraising and reimbursement. This paper studies the benefits equity under this "equalized" system.Methods: The data analysed in this paper are from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) from 2014 to 2016, implemented by the Institute of Social Science Survey at Peking University. A two-part model and a binary choice model are used in the empirical test.Results: The empirical test revealed that high-income people benefit more from basic medical insurance than low-income people. Mechanism analysis demonstrated that high-income people have higher medical insurance applicability and can utilize better health care. Since low-income people are unhealthier, inequity in benefits exacerbates health inequity. We also found that the benefits equity of URBMI is better than that of NRCMI.Conclusions: The government needs to pay more attention to the issue of medical insurance inequity. We should consider allowing different income groups to pay different premiums according to their medical expenses or applying different reimbursement policies for different income groups.
Validation of Brief Condom Use Attitudes Scales For Spanish Speaking People-who-use-drugs in El Salvador
Authors: Beachy Sara , Lechuga Julia , Dickson-Gomez Julia , Liang Chris
Published: April 2020

Background

People-who-use-drugs (PWUDs) are a population severely impacted by a concentrated epidemic of HIV. Behavioral interventions to prevent and treat HIV among PWUDs have been implemented around the world including in low- and middle-income countries which have been disproportionately affected by HIV. However, few studies have been conducted with PWUDs to assess the validity and psychometric properties of measures that assess intervention effectiveness. Furthermore, there are very few measures that have been validated on transnational populations as most research interventions have utilized U.S. samples.
Methods

Our sample was comprised of 1,324 PWUDs, Spanish monolingual speakers, residing in the metropolitan area of San Salvador, El Salvador. Exploratory factor analysis and subsequent confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS and Amos were conducted on three abbreviated and translated condom use attitude measures (i.e., Condom Use Attitudes Scale – Spanish Short Form, Condom Use Social Norms – Spanish Short Form, Condom Use Self-Efficacy – Spanish Short Form). Convergent validity was examined using bivariate correlational analysis with actual condom use and STI infections.
Results

Results indicated that the two-factor, 8-item correlated model for the CUAS-SSF scale had an excellent fit with an adequate reliability (α = .764). The confirmatory factor analysis for the 5-item, CUSN-SSF scale indicated a satisfactory fit with 3 of 6 fit indices indicating adequate fit. Analysis of the two-factor, 5-item CUSE-SSF scale indicated satisfactory fit with an adequate reliability (α = .844). Bivariate analysis indicated correlations between all measures and with self-reported condom use.
Conclusions

Results indicated that these brief measures are valid and reliable and can be utilized to assess the effectiveness of HIV risk reduction interventions among Spanish speaking PWUDs.
Knowledge, and Screening Behaviours of Saudi Female Teachers Towards Breast Cancer in Description Buraydah, Saudi Arabia
Authors: alduraibi sharifa khalid
Published: April 2020

Backgroun Breast cancer is the second commonest cause of cancer-related deaths in Saudi Arabia and the commonest type of female cancer. However, unfortunately several women bypass early discovery and management possibilities related to the shortage of data, knowledge, and recognition of breast cancer, as well as cancer screening manners in general. This study aims to assess the knowledge, and screening behaviour of female teacher regarding breast cancer.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in the governmental secondary girls’ schools in Buraydah city, Saudi Arabia, during the period 2018–2019. A cluster multistage random sampling technique was used to recruit female teacher. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire.Results The study included 316 female teachers. The age of 55.4% of them was below 40 years. The total breast cancer knowledge score was abnormally distributed, as evidenced by significant Shapiro-Wilk test, p < 0.001. The mean ± SD score was 10.66 ± 3.73 (maximum possible score was 15) and the median (IQR) was 11 (8–13). Less than half (42.7%) of the teachers reported performing BSE while only 9.5% went to a clinic for clinical breast examination. BSE was performed on monthly basis by only 14.8% of those practiced it. Ignorance of the examination and fear to discover a tumour were mentioned by 24.9% for each as a reason for not performing BSE whereas 42.5% of those who did not practice it had no reason for that. Mammogram was ever practiced by 22.5% of the female teachers. About one-third of the participants (33.5%) claimed that they will perform mammogram in the coming year. Older teachers (40–50) reported higher rates of performing mammogram compared to those aged < 40, p = 0.012. Also, teachers who had friends with breast cancer were practiced mammogram at higher rated than their counterparts, p = 0.025.Conclusions The study indicates that breast cancer knowledge among governmental female secondary school teachers in Buraydah city, Saudi Arabia is overall insufficient, regarding risk factors and clinical presentation. Performance of breast cancer screening techniques is not enough. Improving knowledge regarding breast cancer risk factors, presentation and screening tools as BSE and mammogram through educational programs is highly recommended for prevention and early detection.

Authors: Wang Li , Xia Wei , Fu Fang , Luo Xiaolin , Guan Jiuqiang
Published: April 2020

Background

The yak (Bos grunniens) is a crucial resource to supply meat and milk to the people localized in Tibetan plateau area. To systemically identify lncRNAs regulating metabolism in yak, we performed transcriptome analyses to simultaneously profile mRNAs and lncRNAs of liver in yak under three representative age (LD: Liver 1 Day, LM: Liver 15 Month, LY: Liver 5 Year) conditions.
Result

Of 288 differentially regulated lncRNAs, function-oriented filters yield 88 regulated metabolically related lncRNAs that are differentially expressed at least two age conditions. These lncRNAs predicted by lncRNA-mRNA correlation analyses to function in diverse aspects of metabolism. Specific regulations of liver metabolically related lncRNAs were further defined by qRT-PCR.
Conclusion

Combining genome-wide screens, bioinformatics function predictions, and qRT-PCR analyses, this study supports that a class of lncRNAs function as important metabolic regulators and establishes a framework for systemically investigating the role of lncRNAs in physiological homeostasis of yak.
SVD-based angular difference estimation
Authors: Xu Dazhuan , Zhou Ying , Tu Weilin , Shi Chao
Published: April 2020

In this paper, the estimation of angular difference between adjacent sources is investigated in the uniform linear array. In the presence of additive Gaussian noise, we use singular value decomposition to obtain the eigenvalues of the spatial covariance matrix. Thus, the expressions of eigenvalues related to the signal are obtained. The smaller one between the eigenvalues is related to the degree of difference between the two sources and we derive the expression of the angular difference estimation through it. In practice, the more samples observed, the more accurate the estimate is. Numerical results confirm our theoretical analysis and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed estimation method. The result in this paper has important guiding significance for array signal processing in the actual environment.
Prevalence and determinants of anemia among women of reproductive age in developing countries of Asia and Africa: A systematic review protocol
Authors: Savera Savera , Ali Sumera Aziz
Published: April 2020

Background The burden of anemia among women of reproductive age (WRA) is significantly higher in developing countries. Studies have been conducted to estimate the prevalence and magnitude of anemia among women of reproductive age and its associated factors mainly in African and Asian countries. However, findings from the existing literature are not synthesized in a systematic way to make evidence-based decisions. Given the high burden of anemia in Asian and African countries and an enormous amount of literature on the prevalence and determinants of anemia, there is a need to undertake a systematic review on prevalence and determinants of anemia among WRA in developing countries of Asia and Africa. Hence, the objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review on the prevalence and determinants of anemia among WRA in developing countries of Asia and Africa. This synthesis of literature will help to understand the determinants of anemia to design targeted and context-based interventions primarily for WRA. In addition, this systematic review will also assist policymakers, stakeholders and managers to make informed and evidence-based decisions mainly in developing countries of Asia and Africa.Methods The review will focus on assessing the burden of anemia and its determinants in the developing countries of Asia and Africa. PubMed, CINAHL Plus, Science Direct, Medline and Cochrane will be explored using a detailed search strategy. A study will be considered eligible, if it will be a primary epidemiological research conducted through quantitative observational study designs (cross-sectional, case-control or cohort studies) on prevalence and determinants or only determinants of anemia among WRA (15-49 years) in the developing country of Africa or Asia and published in the English language in a peer-reviewed local or international journal from 2000 to 2020.Discussion This systematic review will provide an opportunity to critically appraise and synthesize the findings from individual studies on the prevalence and determinants of anemia to finally generate a summary. These aggregated findings, in turn, can guide practice and inform policymakers to make evidence-based decisions to address the problem of anemia among women of reproductive age. The results of the review will be disseminated through presentations and peer-reviewed publications.
