Risk Analysis of Red Onion Production in Songan B Village Kintamani District,Bangli Regency

Songan B Village is one of the villages that develop onion farming. Songan B villagehas farmer groups spread from the lowland to the highland areas. The problems facedare on the fluctuation of onion productivity which indicates that onion farming facesproduction risk. This study aimed to identify the types of risks and analyze the risk ofonion production. This research used quantitative and qualitative analysis. The resultsshowed that the types of production risks encountered in onion farming in the highlandand lowland areas in the village of Songan B, namely climatic conditions, pest, anddisease attacks. The risk of onion production in the highland areas (KV = 3.09) andlowland areas (KV = 2.46) was relatively high, where the level of risk of onionproduction in the highland areas was greater than that in the lower regions. This is dueto the expected production, variant, and standard deviation of onion productivity in thehighland areas is greater than that in the lower regions. The suggestion that can be givenin this research is that farmers need to recognize the types of production risks faced inorder to anticipate production decline.

A Model of Subak Diversifying Functions as an Attraction to Ecotourism in Subak Sembung, Peguyangan, North Denpasar

Subak Sembung is one of the Subak in Denpasar which has a wide area of farming around 115 Ha. Subak Sembung has becoming an attraction to ecotourism since year of 2014. The Ecotourism in Subak Sembung was established as a water absorption area in Denpasar city. This was meant to keep motivating the farmers not to shift the function of that land. Currently, condition of the field has shown that Subak Sembung is now dealing with a threat of land shifting function because of its existance in the middle of Denpasar city, so the ecotourism in Subak Sembung was then created to further anticipate it. This research discussed about any Subak diversifying functions after the ecotourism in that area was established. It also described the models of its diversification as an attraction in Subak Sembung. The method of analysis used to explain the reseach problem was a descriptive qualitative analysis. That qualitative description was applied on the information received from some key speakers by Krama Subak or the admin of that ecotourism. The results showed that the role and function ofSubak brought up to an attranction for Subak Sembung ecotourism. The diversification of those roles and functions included religion ceremony that performed any rituals, therefore Subak could sell a culture in farming. The others were involving facilities operation and maintenance like building a trekking path along the rice field for tourists and also providing other supporting facilities along the area. The establishment of ecotourism was led by Badan Lingkungan Hidup (BLH) and PPLH that had constructed an ecotourism management in 2014. Nevertheless, there was also another issue found regarding with the lack of waste management and abence of share of direct income for the site. Therefore, as a suggestion, a contribution should be given especially to the Subak itself in the future because it would help to motivate the farmers to sustain the rice field area. The farmers should also be open-minded to accept a new innovation,meanwhile both sides of the ecotourism and Subak need to be alert to follow up with the rubbish issue around the area. It is also suggested that Denpasar government in line with the management of ecotourism should give a direct contribution for Subak sustainability in the future.

Published: July 2019

Inflammatory diseases of the sinuses – one of the most common nosologies in the practice of otorhinolaryngologist; its pathogenesis is well studied, and treatment recommendations are detailed. Following them, however, cannot completely prevent chronic disease or recurrence. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy is a promising method of treating sinusitis, which has proved its effectiveness, but has not yet been widely used. This work describes our experience in photodynamic therapy with chlorin e6 of chronic sinusitis using a new laser diode-based irradiation source. For patients who had previous sinus surgery an adapter for penetration into the sinus through anastomosis was developed and tested. First group of the patients underwent photodynamic therapy (PDT) according to the conventional scheme, using a laser with a wavelength of 662 nm; while the second one underwent PDT using a 405 nm laser. With daily washing of the nasal sinus, the period of inflammation relief (evaluated by the absence of pathological discharge during washing) amounted to 3.8 full days on average in the first group of patients, compared to 5.4 days on average for the second group. We carried out the comparative analysis of the treatment results based on clinical assessment and radiological evaluation (CT) at the time of discharge from the hospital and 1 month later.
USO DE ANTIBIÓTICOS INALATÓRIOS NO TRATAMENTO DA PNEUMONIA ASSOCIADA À VENTILAÇÃO MECÂNICA: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Ramos Barboza da SILVA Carla , Birolli MARTINS Fernanda , Fernando FAVALEÇA Mauricio
Published: July 2019

Introdução: A pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica (PAV) é uma infecção associada à assistência à saúde com importante morbimortalidade nas unidades de terapia intensiva (UTI). A maioria dos tratamentos antimicrobianos é intravenosa (IV), porém, atualmente devido à resistência bacteriana a esses antibióticos IV, a via inalatória passou a ser utilizada e pesquisada em pacientes com PAV. Objetivo: Revisão de literatura sobre o uso de antibióticos por via inalatória no tratamento da PAV. Método: Revisão bibliográfica acerca de antibióticos de uso inalatário no tratamento da PAV, com dados coletados de dezembro de 2017 a janeiro de 2018, em produçõs publicadas de 2013 a 2018 em bases de dados on-line relacionados à área da saúde - PubMed e Medline. Resultados/Discussão: Antibióticos nebulizados estão indicados em algumas doenças respiratórias, mas na PAV ainda apresentam baixo nível de evidência. As concentrações desses antimicrobianos nos pulmões são superiores àquelas atingidas pela intravenosa e sua menor concentração no sangue reduz efeitos colaterais sistêmicos. Algumas diretrizes atuais indicam o uso em tratamentos de PAV por bactérias multirresistentes à terapia IV, outras aguardam novos estudos com melhora nos níveis de evidência pelos riscos de efeitos colaterais como broncoespasmo e obstrução do fluxo expiratório por drogas nebulizadas. Conclusão: Antimicrobianos nebulizados podem ser promissores no tratamento de PAV, incluindo infecções por bactérias multirresistentes pela alta concentração dessas drogas nos pulmões. Apesar da ampla utilização de antimicrobianos ser comum nas UTIs, estudos ainda apontam baixo nível de evidência em relação a esta terapia. Todos os estudos desta revisão apontam para necessidade de novas pesquisas sobre essas drogas no tratamento da PAV.
Applying Feminist Poststructuralism as a Framework for Exploring Infant Feeding Interactions in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Van Wijlen Jacqueline Elizabeth , Aston Megan
Published: July 2019

Childbearing/rearing families in Canada face a variety of conflicting discourses related to infant feeding, entrenched in a complex web of gendered, social, institutional and political discourses. For parents of preterm and/or critically ill infants, this area remains largely under-explored through a feminist lens. We offer a critical examination of the applicability of feminist poststructuralism (FPS) as a theory to explore infant feeding interactions in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Scholarly literature from diverse perspectives, including nursing, healthcare, gender studies, and social sciences is critiqued and the use of FPS as a guiding framework for nursing research and praxis is discussed. We discuss FPS and the relevance of various discourses to explore the phenomenon of infant feeding interactions in the NICU. Ultimately, we propose that FPS does offer a relevant lens through which to critically examine infant feeding interactions and bring voice to the complex processes embedded in the NICU.
That Look That Makes You Not Really Want to be There: How Neoliberalism and the War on Drugs Compromise Nursing Care of People Who Use Substances
Authors: Hardill Kathy
Published: July 2019

Abstract Research conducted in 2016 explored the health care experiences of people who use illicit opioids in small Ontario urban and rural communities. Perspectives of participants who used opioids and of nurse participants were interpreted using Friere’s critical social theory framework to explore sociopolitical, economic and ideological influences. Findings describe pervasive experiences of stigma, discrimination and inappropriate care. Exploration of why such negative experiences with nursing care might be so pervasive led to a consideration of the context of health care systems and in particular of the influences of neoliberalism and the impact of the global War on Drugs. Mitigation strategies to support contextualized nursing practice are outlined. Nurses are called upon to actively resist the pressures of these political forces by advocating for policy change including decriminalization.
Gender-Based Expectations and their Effect on Mental Health Amongst Black African Immigrant Young Men Living in Canada
Authors: Olawo Omolola
Published: July 2019

Black African immigrant men’s mental health is relatively understudied. This article is part of a larger study that explored the perceptions of mental health amongst African immigrant youth living in Canada. Using an interpretive description methodology, underpinned by an intersectional and critical lens, this article addresses racial, societal, and cultural expectations that could have an effect on Black African immigrant men’s mental health. Eight men and women who self-identified as Black African immigrants between the ages of 18 and 25 participated in the overall study, while five participants contributed the data for this article. Masculinity as a determinant of health, the resilience of African men, and the intersections of identity and vulnerability are discussed. It is concluded that the stigma surrounding Black African men speaking out about their mental health warrants a deeper examination in relation to their mental health outcomes. Areas of further inquiry include exploring mental health service utilization amongst Black African immigrant men.

Published: July 2019

Research in the classification of rock quality formations has been carried out by many previous researchers with various methods using core sample data. However, from this research there are still many uncertainties that are found due to the difficulty of the data observed. The study uses the critical porosity for grouping the rock quality. The study obtained evidence on the surface conditions of critical porosity values obtained by the Nur method, et al. Using data P and S wave velocity data on measuring core samples surface pressure conditions that produce different rock quality based on different criticcal porosity ranges. Rock type formed based on the critical porosity has a relation to the pore geometry and pore structure that forms the linkages of each rock type. The similarity of the formation of rock types resulting from the value of critical porosity on rock types using the Wibowo and Permadi methods. In this study ten rock types were obtained. With the formation of rock quality groups that are different from the critical porosity values, further research is needed to find out whether the acoustic log in the data log that has P wave propagation speed can be used to determine the critical porosity value and determine the rock quality classification.

Introducción: La experiencia migratoria tanto interna como internacional está compuesta por un conjunto de situaciones de peligros y riesgos que ponen en jaque la integridad física y emocional de las personas. El objetivo de este artículo es documentar las experiencias de los/as migrantes ante altas temperaturas y su salud tanto de quienes se dirigen de México o Centroamérica hacia los Estados Unidos de América como los que se desplazan al interior de México rumbo a los campos agrícolas del noroeste.Método: Este trabajo se basa en un estudio de corte cualitativo por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas sobre el riesgo climático y la salud en migrantes internacionales e internos en la frontera norte de México, particularmente en el estado de Sonora.Resultados: La migración es un punto de inflexión en la vida de las personas entrevistadas. Existe una asocación cualitativa entre la masculinidad y el hecho de emigrar; la noción de proveduria e idea de la aventura son cruciales para entender el proceso migratorio. El afrontar distintos peligros como la violencia y los factores medioambientales generan daños físicos y emocionales.Discusión y/o Conclusión: Existe un proceso de relativización del riesgo climático, en este caso, la minimización de los daños en la salud por las altas temperaturas. La idea de la autosuficiencia e independencia es parte de las identidades de género en los varones migrantes entrevistados. Introduction: The migrational experience, both internal and international is composed by a combination of hazardous and risk situations that threaten the physical and emotional integrity of individuals. The goal of this article is to document the experiences and the health of migrants facing high temperatures when heading from Mexico or Central America towards the United States of America, as well as those that transit through the interior of Mexico towards the agricultural fields of the Northwest.Method: These findings are based on a qualitative method study that used semistructured interviews that delve into weather and health risks in international and internal migrants on the Mexican northern border, particularly in the state of Sonora.Results: Migration is a turning point in the lives of the people interviewed. There exists a qualitative association between masculinity and the act of migrating; the notion of being a provider and the idea of adventure are crucial for understanding the migrational process. Facing different hazards like violence and environmental factors generates physical and emotional damage.Conclusion: There exists a relativization process of weather risks, on this case, the minimization of the damage to health due to high temperatures. The idea of selfsufficiency and independence is part of the gender identities of the migrant males interviewed.

Plasma membrane (PM) curvature defines cell shape and intracellular organelle morphologies and is a fundamental cell property. Growth/proliferation is more stimulated in flatter cells than the same cells in elongated shapes. PM-anchored K-Ras small GTPase regulates cell growth/proliferation and plays key roles in cancer. The lipid-anchored K-Ras form nanoclusters selectively enriched with specific phospholipids, such as phosphatidylserine (PS), for efficient effector recruitment and activation. K-Ras function may, thus, be sensitive to changing lipid distribution at membranes with different curvatures. Here, we used complementary methods to manipulate membrane curvature of intact/live cells, native PM blebs, and synthetic liposomes. We show that the spatiotemporal organization and signaling of an oncogenic mutant K-RasG12Vfavor flatter membranes with low curvature. Our findings are consistent with the more stimulated growth/proliferation in flatter cells. Depletion of endogenous PS abolishes K-RasG12VPM curvature sensing. In cells and synthetic bilayers, only mixed-chain PS species, but not other PS species tested, mediate K-RasG12Vmembrane curvature sensing. Thus, K-Ras nanoclusters act as relay stations to convert mechanical perturbations to mitogenic signaling.

As políticas educacionais brasileiras determinam a inclusão social de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais (NEE) em turmas regulares de ensino. Mas para que a Educação Especial, ou Educação Inclusiva, se torne realidade é necessário adaptações do sistema educacional, seja pela adoção de recursos específicos, novos métodos, novas estratégias de ensino e o uso de materiais alternativos, seja pela adaptação dos currículos e dos docentes para a realidade dos alunos NEE, de forma a promover boa educação para todos os alunos.

É crescente a presença de alunos NEE nas salas de aula, mas como essa inclusão exige soluções que podem ser bastantes trabalhosas devido à diversidade de necessidades especiais (RODRIGUES, 2003), poucos avanços têm sido observados no processo educacional. Muitas vezes o educador só considera a inclusão ao se deparar com um aluno NEE na sua sala de aula, e ai se depara com carência de métodos, estratégias de ensino e alternativas que garanta a aprendizagem efetiva desse aluno, sendo que existem alunos NEE que chegam a ser ignorados por docentes durante as aulas.

Esse trabalho estuda a problemática do Ensino de Física, na perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva, em particular analisando o Ensino de Física para alunos com deficiência visual (aluno DV). Considerando que as metodologias e estratégias de Ensino de Física exploram amplamente a percepção e a representação visual, aprender Física se torna um complicador e um desafio para o aluno DV. E para garantir a participação e o aprendizado do aluno DV, o Ensino de Física precisa se adequar às necessidades desse aluno, possibilitando sua participação ativa nas aulas. E isso provoca discussões inerentes à utilização das múltiplas percepções sensoriais para que o escolar assimile de forma heterogênea os diversos saberes científicos. Nesse sentido tem sido trabalhado a estruturação de um laboratório didático/instrumental de apoio aos docentes de Física, “o mundo sem luz”, com o objetivo de dar suporte as investigações e que atenda às necessidades educacionais de todos os alunos, videntes e não videntes, nas aulas de Física.

O ensino de Física pode ser associado a atividades que levam à memorização de informações, fórmulas, estruturas e conhecimentos que limitam a aprendizagem, desmotivando o aluno quanto à Física. Os recursos didáticos são considerados elementos essenciais no trabalho dos conteúdos escolares com os alunos, pois permite o contato com diversas formas de aprendizagem, cuja aplicação permeia aspectos motivacionais, estimulantes, desafiadores e colaboradores. Nesse sentido, objetiva-se no trabalho relatar a utilização de paródias como estratégia de ensino e aprendizagem para abordagem de conteúdos de Física, dando enfoque ao uso da contextualização. “Para Ribas e Guimarães (2004, p. 2), quando o aluno sente prazer na atividade proposta pelo professor, a aprendizagem e o processo cognitivo de construção do conhecimento são estimulados”. Segundo os autores, a construção de conhecimentos significativos está ligado a algo que chama atenção e que revela coisas com as quais o indivíduo identifica-se e que pode despertar sensações ou emoções. Para eles, a base de tal reflexão está associada ao estímulo da crítica e a vivência de cada um. Assim, “...o uso da música na forma de paródias tem a possibilidade de quebrar a rotina escolar baseada no modelo tradicional de ensino, possibilitando momentos de alegria e descontração durante a aula, estimulando a atenção e a responsabilidade necessárias à aprendizagem” (SILVEIRA; KIOURANIS, 2008, p. 29).

O atual modelo de ensino tradicional vem sendo questionado em esfera geral, grande parte desses questionamentos são norteados pela inadequação do método (DARROZ; ROSA; GHIGGI, 2015), ou seja, os recursos utilizados não condizem com a realidade do perfil atual de aluno. Os alunos nas diferentes faixas etárias tem acesso direto à informação no próprio smartphone, tal liberdade de acesso à informação (SELIGMAN; CHRISTOFOLETTI, 2011) criou um tema de discussão entre o interesse do aluno e as ferramentas utilizadas pelos professores para fazer a abordagem dos conteúdos na disciplina de física.

A adequação gradativa das salas de aulas por meio da tecnologia de informação e comunicação, através de instrumentos facilitadores de acesso e difusão da informação como: computador, projetor, caixas de som, internet e celulares; têm permitido algumas possibilidades de mudança na forma de ensinar os conteúdos. Tais espaços dinâmicos de interação utilizam linguagem visual e sonora, estimulam o processamento de informações dando certa autonomia na busca de conhecimento e gerando impacto imediato sobre os discentes. Condições que podem favorecer a aprendizagem e que muitas vezes não são desenvolvidas dentro da própria sala de aula. Neste sentido,

Materiais didáticos digitais de apoio à aprendizagem vêm sendo cada vez mais produzidos e utilizados em todos os níveis de ensino. Esses materiais são chamados Objetos de Aprendizagem – OA. Repositórios de OA proliferam na Internet, colocando à disposição do usuário, recursos educacionais para facilitar a aprendizagem tanto no ensino a distância quanto no apoio ao ensino presencial. (ARANTES; MIRANDA; STUDART, 2010, p. 27).

É possível estabelecer uma relação direta entre smartphones e práticas pedagógicas que facilitem o processo de ensino e aprendizagem? Por entender as dificuldades enfrentadas no contexto escolar, especificamente na área de física, e considerando a acessibilidade dos alunos à celulares smartphones (HAWLEY; MCCLAIN, 2018), têm-se o desafio de promover com estratégia didática a inserção de aplicativos no contexto estudantil, com a finalidade de melhorar a compreensão sobre os conteúdos de física, uma vez que os alunos já estão familiarizados com este equipamento.
Equilíbrio e Elasticidade: ensinando física por meio da construção de estruturas de palitos de picolé e bancos de concreto armado

O ensino de Física no ensino médio, deve ir além da memorização de equações e aquisição de informações que não fazem sentido para o aluno. A proposta em questão, procura por meio da aprendizagem significa crítica como propõe Moreira (2005) por meio dos onze princípios norteadores, um ensino de Física mais eficiente. O presente estudo visa trabalhar os conteúdos de equilíbrio e elasticidade por meio de uma sequência didática que visa o ensino centrado no aluno, onde “o professor fale menos, narre menos, e o aluno fale mais, participe criticamente de sua aprendizagem, Moreira (2017)”. Dessa maneira o conhecimento da Física deve ser apresentado “através de estratégias instrucionais que levem o aluno a falar mais, ou seja, a externalizar para o professor os significados que está captando Moreira (2017)”.

A proposta busca estabelecer relações entre o novo conhecimento e o conhecimento prévio Moreira (2017) das(os) aluna(o) por meio de aulas que iniciam com práticas que visam o princípio da interação social e do questionamento. Às vezes ao iniciar um conteúdo de Física, os alunos começam a fazer questionamentos, tais como: “Professor, onde vou usar isso? Para que serve isso no meu dia-a-dia? Qual o significado desse experimento para minha vida?” Em face desses questionamentos surgiu, durante uma das nossas aulas, uma proposta de se construir bancos para que os alunos pudessem ficar mais bem acomodados no ambiente escolar. Nessa proposta, procuramos fazer com que a Física não seja uma disciplina desconectada da realidade, o que possibilita as(os) alunas(os) agir na realidade escolar por meio situações promovidas em sala de aula, produzindo o próprio banco de sentar, um objeto indispensável ao ser humano independente de sua estética.

Isothiocyanate (ITC) is a small but reactive organo-sulfur containing group of compound present in cruciferous vegetables. Compendium of evidence indicated that ITCs exhibit multiple biological activities, but the exact molecular mechanisms are not yet clear. Therefore, this study was designed to compare the genome-wide gene expression profiles in hepatic and neuron cells following wasabi-derived ITCs treatment using microarray technology. Cells were treated with wasabi-derived ITCs, sulforaphane (SFN), 6-(methylsulfinyl)hexyl isothiocyanate (6-MSITC) and 6-(methylthio)hexyl isothiocyanate (6-MTITC), for 9 h and was followed by DNA microarray analyses using HG-U133 plus 2.0 oligonucleotide array. Selected gene products were confirmed by real-time PCR, and functional subsets of genes and biologically significant network were identified using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Results showed that 6-MTITC was the most potent inducer of gene expressions changes in HepG2 cells, whereas 6-MSITC was the most effective inducer in IMR-32 cells. Despite this cell-type response discrepancies, 6-MSITC came up as the strongest inducer of antioxidant-associated genes, via the regulation of the Nrf2-mediated pathway. These results combined with the varying induction level data of other Wasabi-derived ITCs form the basis for further studies to assess the possible therapeutic effect of combined Wasabi-derived ITCs treatment. Altogether, this study provided comprehensive information on how structural differences of Wasabi-derived ITCs contribute to its efficacy and impact specific targets.

The study reported carbohydrate profiles of mung bean that was soaked for different
times, and how the bean can be a potential food in Indonesia for breastfeeding women
with diabetes mellitus (DM). This study used a single factor with completely randomized
design. The soaking time was a factor with five levels; 0 (control), 2, 4, 6, and 8 hrs. Each
treatment level was replicated three times. Observed dependent variables of carbohydrate
profiles were starch, amylose, total sugar, total dietary fiber (TDF), insoluble dietary fiber
(IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF), and resistant starch (RS) contents. The results were
subjected to one-way ANOVA and least significant difference test at p<0.05 using SPSS
(version 19). The soaking time resulted in a decrease of the starch content, relatively
unchanged amylose content, and an increase of the reducing sugar content. The TDF
tended to decrease, the RS was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the unsoaked mung bean
from 4 hrs of soaking and the SDF tended to increase with soaking. Generally, the
digestible (total sugar) and indigestible (total dietary fiber and resistant starch)
carbohydrates increased during the soaking. The overall results would indicate fewer
calories and inhibition of blood sugar increases that are beneficial to breastfeeding women
with DM. The findings provide a new scientific understanding of mung bean as an
alternative food source for breastfeeding women with diabetes mellitus and can contribute
to formulating national and global DM management food policy.
