Integrating Mental Health Services: Principles, Practices, and Possibilities
Authors: Kates Nick
Published: October 2023

The majority of mental health and addiction problems initially present to a primary care provider, with many being treated only in primary care. Problems in the relationships with mental health services, however, often mean that individuals needing care often do not reach the services they require, while primary care providers do not always receive the support or assistance they are looking for. Increasingly, though, mental health services are recognizing the importance of working more collaboratively with primary care colleagues and an effective way of achieving this is by integrating mental health services within primary care settings. This can improve access and the patient’s experience, and expand the kinds of mental health services that can be delivered within a primary care practice, with new opportunities for earlier detection, relapse prevention, support for self-management, and assistance with system navigation. It opens up novel opportunities for continuing education, improves communication, and leads to better coordinated, less fragmented, and safer care. This chapter summarizes the benefits of collaborative partnerships, the core principles on which collaborative partnerships need to be based, the components and activities of effective collaborative initiatives, and the ways in which these approaches can help to address wider problems facing Canada’s health care systems.

Authors: Ćurić Iva , Brezinščak Luka , Dolar Davor
Published: October 2023

Due to strong globalization and industrialization, water has become a scarce resource. One industry that uses a lot of water and generates a large amount of wastewater is the textile industry. According to the Best Available Techniques reference document, pressure-driven membrane processes have been declared the best methods for the treatment and reuse of textile wastewater. Such processes generate a certain amount of solid waste in addition to excellent permeate quality. This book chapter provides a critical overview of pressure-driven membrane processes (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) for the treatment of textile wastewater. Finally, this chapter covers the treatment and disposal of retentate and MBR sludge.

Authors: Fernandes de Godoy Moacir , Arid Rudnick Beatriz , Victor de Menezes Reichert João
Published: October 2023

The Gini Coefficient (GC) is a statistical tool widely used in Economics to quantify the degree of variation of values belonging to a group, ranging from zero to one. The closer to zero, the less unequal the country. We proposed to evaluate GC in the analysis of Heart Rate Variability in different groups of individuals hypothesizing that groups with more similar conditions and better stationarity (healthy individuals) should be the groups with lower differences among them and among the aged, diseased, or premature individuals. Time series of normal RR intervals were analyzed in eight groups of individuals: premature (G1) or healthy newborns (G2), healthy children (G3), healthy young adults (G4), elderly adults (G5), patients with chronic liver (G6) or kidney disease (G7) and individuals with a state of brain death or who died in the short term after the initial evaluation (G8). GC distinguished the less unequal groups (G2, G3 and G4) from all other groups. Was identified, graphically, a parabolic behavior with near similarity among equivalent homeostatic levels. GC is a useful tool for characterizing the stationarity and the homeostatic level of clinical groups (by lower GC values) and to interpret more adequately the results.

Authors: Elvira Dwitya , Masri Raveinal
Published: October 2023

Systemic sclerosis (SSc), also known as scleroderma, is a systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease characterized by dysregulation of the immune system, fibrosis of the skin and visceral organs, and vasculopathy. Inflammatory activation may be important in the initiation and progression of vasculopathy and fibrosis in response to homeostatic disturbance. Numerous factors trigger and enable sustained inflammation such as increased oxidative stress, involved in progressivity and disease severity. This chapter will focus on the role of inflammation and the involvement of multiple immune mediators contributing to autoimmune activity of SSc.
Motor imagery in evidence-based physical therapy
Authors: Bunno Yoshibumi , Onigata Chieko , Suzuki Toshiaki
Published: October 2023

Motor imagery allows patients with difficulty in voluntary movements to mentally practice a target motor task. Numerous neurophysiological studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying the benefits of motor imagery, but many aspects remain unclear. Since both central and spinal neural function need to be leveraged to improve various motor functions, we have investigated motor imagery and spinal neural functions. Our previous research demonstrated a facilitation effect of motor imagery on spinal neural function and an immediate effect on muscle strength. Specifically, a mild imagined muscle contraction strength may be sufficient to enhance the excitability of spinal motor neurons. In addition, kinesthetic imagery or combined action observation and motor imagery may substantially enhance the excitability of spinal motor neurons. Also, keeping a position of the upper or lower extremities close to the desired movements leads to greater enhancement of the excitability of spinal motor neurons during motor imagery.

Authors: Verbič Anja , Primc Gregor , Šala Martin , Gorjanc Marija
Published: October 2023

Introducing green technologies and minimising the use of synthetic and toxic compounds are the most important steps to overcome the environmental obstacles in textile finishing. Another essential requirement for a better life is the prevention of waste, which negatively impacts the environment, economy and human health. This chapter presents a comprehensive study on the development of a novel and environmentally friendly synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) using aqueous extracts from plant waste and gaseous plasma technology, directly (in situ) on cotton and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), to obtain fabrics with ultraviolet (UV)-protective and hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties. Plant waste from the food processing industry and invasive alien plants were used as a source of phytochemicals in in situ ZnO synthesis. ZnO is an inorganic compound that is widely used in various industries due to its multifunctional properties. It can exhibit UV-protective, antimicrobial, self-cleaning, hydrophobic and other properties when applied to textiles. The chapter investigates different methods and parameters to achieve the most optimised synthesis procedure to enable textiles with functional protective properties. It also discusses the importance of the selection of a plant-based reducing agent in ZnO synthesis, the use of gaseous plasma and its effect on polymer modification and assistance in ZnO synthesis.

Battery State of Charge Management for an Electric Vehicle Traction System
Authors: Sayed Abdelaal Abdelaziz Ahmed
Published: October 2023

This chapter introduces a battery state of charge (SOC) management technique designed for an electric vehicle traction system that incorporates an indirect field-oriented induction motor drive. The primary goal of this technique is to restrict the change in battery SOC from exceeding a maximum limit, by compensating for the motor speed tracking performance. It employs a fuzzy-tuned model predictive controller (FMPC), where a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) adjusts the input weight in the objective function to ensure that the change in battery SOC does not exceed the maximum permitted value while regulating the motor speed. The various components of the EV traction system are thoroughly modeled, and simulations are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink 2018b. The simulation results, carried out using the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC), verify that the technique limits the change in SOC while controlling the motor speed. This approach offers the advantage of maintaining precise control over the battery bank SOC, which distinguishes it from conventional speed regulators.

Authors: Shojaei Seyedpouzhia , Torabi Mohammad , Sistanizad Mohammad , Kouchek Mehran , Miri Mir Mohammad , Salarian Sara , Ansar Padideh
Published: October 2023

Background: Colistin is a drug of choice against multidrug-resistance (MDR) bacteria. The most important side effect of colistin is nephrotoxicity, observed in 20 - 54% of patients. According to the studies that examined its antioxidant effect, it can reduce the kidney toxicity of various drugs, including colistin. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate melatonin's effect on reducing colistin-induced kidney toxicity to use this drug with fewer complications. Methods: This double-blind, randomized clinical trials with two groups involved 56 critically ill adults infected by MDR bacteria. The intervention group received 3 mg of oral melatonin simultaneously with intravenous colistin, which continued until the end of the treatment. The control group received placebo orally with IV colistin. We measured urine volume, blood creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) daily and determined the patients with renal failure using the KDIGO guideline. STATA software analyzed data with a P-value of less than 0.05 as the significance level. Results: Data obtained from recipients were analyzed for age (P-value = 0.357), gender (P-value = 0.945), weight (P-value = 0.438), APACHE score (P-value = 0.162). We did not observe significant difference in acute kidney injury (AKI) criteria between the two groups. Compared to the control group, melatonin did not decrease blood creatinine (P-value = 0.110) and BUN (P-value = 0.567) and, made no change of urinary volume (P-value = 0.913). There was no decrease in kidney failure in the intervention group compared to the control group. As a result, we did not find a significant difference in outcome of the two groups. Conclusions: We did not reveal any significant difference in the AKI criteria including blood creatinine, BUN, and daily urine volume with the addition of melatonin in participants receiving colistin; However, no complication was observed in the intervention group who received melatonin.

Authors: Kartika Anindya Sekar , Kamila Hermawan Ammara , Nicodemus Bourney Purba Jeremy , Faria Faculto de Jesus Luizinha
Published: October 2023

This study aims to examine the role of ASEAN, with a specific focus on the Indonesian Chairmanship in 2023 and the future Lao chairmanship in 2024, in addressing the persistent issue of non-traditional security concerns, specifically human trafficking and sex trafficking, which have been prevalent in Laos for an extended period of time. In addition, this analysis will explore the involvement of Lao governments and residents in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the underlying factors contributing to the enduring prevalence of human trafficking in Laos or arenas such as GTSEZs which has exploited Laotian workers. This study will employ a qualitative research methodology, employing the theoretical framework of neoliberal institutionalism to examine the extent to which ASEAN has achieved success or failure in fostering cooperation as an institution. In addition, this study will thoroughly examine the intricacies of domestic politics in Lao. This study reveals that ASEAN has undertaken many initiatives, including ACTIP, NRM, and collaboration between Indonesia and Laos. However, upon further analysis of the government of Lao's endeavors in resolving this subject, it becomes evident that their attempts have been inadequate in terms of institutional capacity, domestic political considerations, and cultural comprehension. Hence, in order to enhance the efficacy of ASEAN's endeavors, it is imperative for the Lao government to demonstrate unwavering dedication in addressing the horror of human trafficking.

Authors: Maghfirah Maghfirah , Usman Nasir , Niswanto Niswanto
Published: October 2023

Higher education is one of the subsystems of national education. The presence of higher education plays a crucial role in the life of the nation and the state. The quality of higher education depends on the quality of lecturers, especially in terms of their professional competence, which will contribute to the improvement of the quality of higher education and ultimately have an impact on the progress of national education. Lecturers have primary duties and obligations outlined in the "tridharma" of higher education, and these duties must be reported to the institution and higher education service institutions each semester, resulting in periodic work performance outcomes often referred to as the lecturer's workload. Lecturer's Workload is a performance report that includes components related to educational delivery, research, community service, and supporting activities within a specified time frame. This research aims to analyze the performance of lecturers in improving the productivity of the Polytechnic of Indonesia Venezuela. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques involve observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is qualitative descriptive analysis with data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate that the performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in terms of career development or promotions have not improved the productivity of Poliven. This is because, on average, Poliven lecturers are not consistent in proposing functional positions or promotions in accordance with the established schedule. The performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in the field of the three pillars of higher education, particularly in education and teaching, meet the workload targets well, thus enhancing Poliven's productivity. However, the performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in the field of research and community service have seen only a slight improvement and meet the workload targets. This is because there have been no research or community service results that have obtained intellectual property rights (HAKI) or patents.

Published: October 2023

Este artigo tematiza as práticas encampadas por Horácio Nunes Pires e Orestes Guimarães no interior da Escola Normal Catarinense entre 1911 e 1918. Para tanto, tomou como fontes relatórios, legislação, imprensa e ofícios expedidos por um e outro e acessados no Arquivo Público de Santa Catarina, na Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional, na Hemeroteca Digital Catarinense e no Repositório da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). Objetivou-se mapear as redes de sociabilidades (SIRINELLI, 1996) e de sociabilização burocrática (SCHWARTZ, 2011) desses sujeitos, situando os embates travados na ocasião da reforma da instituição como parte de disputas políticas que a extrapolaram. Como conclusões, destacou as filiações políticas de ambos os sujeitos e propôs uma interpretação das reformas do ensino como um caleidoscópio de práticas diversas. Ademais, considerou-as como parte de um jogo polemológico (CERTEAU, 2009) disputado e dependente de uma extensa rede de relações familiares e políticas.
A Sociologia da Infância e o conceito de culturas infantis: aspectos e implicações teóricas
Authors: Marchi Rita de Cássia , Evangelista Nislândia Santos
Published: October 2023

O conceito de culturas infantis, na perspectiva da Sociologia da Infância, enfatiza a ideia da criança como ator social e produtora de cultura. Assim, nesta abordagem há formas teóricas e metodológicas de pesquisar e se relacionar com as crianças a partir de termos e concepções que se distanciam daqueles relacionados à ideia tradicional de socialização. Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir o conceito de culturas infantis a partir, principalmente, de dois sociólogos da infância, William Corsaro e Manuel Sarmento. Além disto, dialoga-se com outros autores, como Matias Arce e Walter Benjamin sobre a concepção de infância, brinquedos e brincadeiras.  A noção antropológica de cultura também é considerada para pensarmos na constituição e socialização das crianças entre pares, ou seja, na construção das culturas infantis. Leva-se em consideração a crescente utilização de conceitos e princípios da Sociologia da Infância nas pesquisas na área da Educação e o caráter reflexivo entre a produção de conhecimento e as práticas sociais.

Esse estudo objetivou analisar a evasão no curso técnico em agropecuária integrado ao ensino médio do IF Sudeste MG - campus Rio Pomba, com enfoque no Programa de Atendimento aos Estudantes em Baixa Condição Socioeconômica ofertado por esta instituição. A opção teórico-metodológica do estudo se deu pela abordagem qualitativa, fazendo uso de análise bibliográfica e documental. As informações foram recolhidas nos arquivos da secretaria do ensino técnico, no setor de orientação pedagógica e no setor de serviço social do campus Rio Pomba. Como resultados desta pesquisa, tem-se um percentual (19,75%) pequeno de estudantes que evadiram e foram atendidos pelo programa de assistência estudantil, se comparado ao total de evadidos no período estudado (2013-2019). Os dados ainda mostram outras causas elencadas pelos estudantes, para sua saída da instituição (desinteresse pelo curso, jubilamento e a saudade da família). Como resultados desta pesquisa, perceberam-se os atendimentos na assistência estudantil como fortes aliados para a permanência escolar e a evasão no referido curso não tendo uma ligação direta com o não atendimento da assistência estudantil. Em contrapartida, estes resultados podem nos mostrar que a política de assistência estudantil do referido campus vem cumprindo seu papel, que é minimizar os índices de evasão e contribuir com melhores condições de permanência escolar.

In the specialist literature, especially related to IT, it is easy to find a review about the relationship between the concepts: data–information–knowledge–wisdom. In this article the author confronted the last two terms of the chain knowledge and wisdom. The main question was whether these terms mean essentially the same human property and whether one of them can replace the other? Presented in the article, the characteristics of both concepts (albeit very limited) allows to formulate an answer: both knowledge and wisdom they are two different dimensions of human personality, and both are necessary to him. They have different roles to meet. Wisdom is a kind of compass indicating the purpose and course of action. The knowledge is essential to evaluate the potential to achieve this purpose and the selection of ways to achieve it. Reducing person to only one of them deform the human figure and reduce it to the role of an intelligent robot, much knowing but uncritically.
Structured online vivas for evaluating professional competency in a capstone allied health course: A pilot study
Authors: Maranna Sandhya , Osborne Brooke , Nallaya Shashi
Published: October 2023

The aim of this pilot study was to develop structured online vivas as authentic assessments for capstone students enrolled in the medical sonography program in an Australian university. The objective was to evaluate the professional competency of trainee students who were transitioning to graduate as accredited sonographers. Prior to 2020, capstone students, located all over Australia, travelled to South Australia to undertake an on-campus, objective structured clinical examination for practical skills assessment. The interstate travel restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the need for this examination to be conducted in an online mode. The emergency adaptation model employed in 2020 did not assess conceptual understanding and communication skills. To address this gap, structured online vivas were created and implemented through action research with 71 students in November 2021. A response rate of 51% from student feedback and 100% from external examiner feedback helped to enhance future iterations. Structuring of online vivas enabled assessment of professional competency skills, reduced both examiner bias and student anxiety, and promoted academic integrity. Our study discusses the action research process of developing and implementing structured online vivas, student performance, and evaluating student and examiner experiences with online vivas.

Günümüzün başarılı örgütleri, çok kültürlülüğün ve insan sermayesindeki bu çeşitliliğin farklı örgütsel seviyelerde, iş süreçlerinin etkinliğine daha fazla katkı sağlayabileceğini fark ettiklerinde örgütlerde çeşitlilik yöntemi kavramı ve beraberinde kapsayıcı bir örgüt kültürünün yaratılması gündeme gelmiştir. En genel tanımıyla kapsayıcı lider, çalışanları oldukları gibi kabul etmeye, benzersiz yetenek ve bakış açılarıyla örgüte katkıda bulunmalarına izin vermeye odaklanır Kapsayıcı liderlik, çalışanların kendilerini örgütün bir parçası gibi hissetmelerini sağlayarak onlar üzerinde bir güven algısı oluşturmaktadır. Kapsayıcı lider, çalışanlara enerji ve motivasyon sağladığından dolayı, çalışanlar kendilerini önemli, saygın ve değerli hissederler ve ortak hedeflere ulaşma yolunda ekstra performans ortaya koymaları beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kapsayıcı liderlik kavramını ve önemini açıklamak, diğer liderlik tarzlarıyla karşılaştırmak, yapılan araştırmaları inceleyerek bireysel ve örgütsel sonuçlarını belirtmek ve öneriler geliştirmektir. Bu çalışma kuramsal bir çalışmadır. Konu ile ilgili alanyazın taramasında doküman incelemesi yapılarak çeşitli öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
EĞİTİM TEKNOLOJİLERİNDE GÜNCEL UYGULAMALARIN İNCELENMESİ
Authors: TONBULOĞLU İsmail
Published: October 2023

Eğitim teknolojilerinin kullanımı, geçmiş yüzyıllarda başlayıp film, radyo, televizyon, bilgisayar, mobil telefon, internet vb. önemli yakın geçmişteki gelişmelerle şekillenmiştir. Eğitim teknolojileri bağlamında güncel alanlar olarak; nesnelerin interneti, artırılmış gerçeklik, sanal gerçeklik, giyilebilir teknolojiler, 360 derece videolar, zeki sistemler, kitlesel açık çevrimiçi dersler, öğrenme analitikleri ve yapay zeka alanları öne çıkmaktadır. Eğitim teknolojilerinde güncel uygulamaların kullanımı, bireyselleştirme, dijital ve fiziksel etkileşim, öğrenme performansını artırma, pratik deneyim kazanma, oyunlaştırma, motive etme, teşvik etme, öğrenme deneyimini iyileştirme ve etkinliğini artırma, somutlaştırma, ağ oluşturma, geri bildirim, etkili ve özgün içerik sunma, alternatif öğrenme süreçleri oluşturma, veriye dayalı yönlendirme ve öngörü gibi katkılar sunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte veri güvenliği, veri gizliği, aşırı teknoloji kullanımı, aşırı bilişsel yüklenme ve aracın amaca dönüşmesi gibi yönleriyle bazı sınırlıkları bulunmaktadır. Bu katkı ve sınırlılıkların göz önünde bulundurularak eğitim teknolojilerinde güncel uygulamalardan eğitim hedefleri kapsamında ve uygun eğitsel bağlamlarda yararlanılması önerilmektedir.
Tutorial 19e: Open Access definitions and clarifications, part 5: copyright
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

In the previous section, we discussed the various licences that can be used for open-access articles. But that may have been premature, because licences are agreements whereby copyright holders waive some of their rights, and we hadn’t actually talked about copyright first. So let’s do that now.
The Publishers Association is hallucinating
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Today’s  Guardian  has a piece by Graham Taylor, director of academic, educational and professional publishing at the Publishers Association, entitled  Attacking publishers will not make open access any more sustainable  . It’s such a crock that I felt compelled to respond point-by-point in the comments.
Plateosaurus sacra of the AMNH
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

 Plateosaurus trossingensis  AMNH 6810 sacrum and pelvis in left dorsolateral view We’ve shown a lot of sauropod sacra around here lately (for example here, here, and here), so here’s a little look back down the tree. You haven’t heard from me much lately because I’ve been busy teaching anatomy. Still, I get to help people dissect for a living, so I can’t complain. Further bulletins as events warrant.
Counting beans
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

The reason most of my work is in the form of journal articles is that I didn’t know there were other ways to communicate. Now that I know that there are other and in some ways demonstrably better ways (arXiv, etc.), my enthusiasm for sending stuff to journals is flagging.
Camarasaurus ischia of the AMNH
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

More goodness from Osborn and Mook’s (1921) gargantuan  Camarasaurus  monograph, again prepared largely for comparison with “  Apatosaurus  ”  minimus  . Last time, I showed you one of O&M’s pubis illustrations. Now an ischium: This shows the left ischium AMNH 576o’/Is.4. Left column: proximal aspect. Middle column, from top to bottom: medial, lateral, posterior (no dorsal view was provided). Right column: distal.

Turtle laminae of the Yale Peabody Museum
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

Here’s a cool skeleton of the South American pleurodire  Podocnemis  in the Yale Peabody Museum. What’s that you’re hiding in your neck,  Podocnemis  ? Laminae! Here’s a closeup: The laminae run from the transverse processes to the prezygapophyses and the centrum, which I reckon makes them analogues of the PRDLs and ACDLs of sauropods.
Measuring brachiosaur mass using minimal convex hulls
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

I don’t have time to write about this properly, but a few people have asked me about the new Sellers et al. (2012) paper on measuring the masses of extinct animals — in particular, the Berlin  Giraffatitan  — by having a CAD program generate minimal complex hulls around various body regions.

Tutorial 19f: Open Access definitions and clarifications, part 6: open access that comes and goes
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

The best open-access publishers make their articles open from the get-go, and leave them that way forever. (That’s part of what makes them best.) But it’s not unusual to find articles which either start out free to access, then go behind a paywall; or that start out paywalled but are later released; or that live behind a paywall but peek out for a limited period. Let’s talk about these.

Harvard’s library can’t afford journal subscriptions
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Harvard University is probably the single richest school on the planet. Its endowment in 2011 was the biggest in the USA, at $31.728 billion — over 60% more than the next highest (Yale, at $19.374 billion). It’s also in with a good shout as the  best  university in the world — the current Times Higher Education ranking has it equal second, behind only Cal Tech, level with Stanford, and ahead of Oxford, Princeton and Cambridge.
“Apatosaurus” minimus sacrum/ilia: illustration from forthcoming description
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

I mentioned a few posts ago that Matt and I are working on a redescription of AMNH 675, a sauropod specimen referred by Mook (1917) to “  Apatosaurus  ”  minimus  , but which everyone knows is not  Apatosaurus  . We plan to share the illustrations from this in-progress paper as we prepare them, so here is perhaps the key one: Sacrum and fused ilia of AMNH 675, “Apatosaurus” minimus. Top row: left lateral and right lateral;

Camarasaurus pubes of the AMNH
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

(First of all, for anyone who’s not familiar with the plural of “pubis”, it’s spelled “pubes” but pronounced “pyoo-bees”. Stop sniggering at the back.) As Matt and I struggle to figure out the partial pubis that is one of the elements of the “  Apatosaurus  ”  minimus  specimen AMNH 675, one of the most helpful references is Osborn and Mook’s (1921) epic monograph on  Camarasaurus  . It’s not that 675 particularly resembles
The “Open Access Bio and Paleo” page is no longer maintained

A brief notice: A while back we set up a page of “open access bio and palaeo” links on this site — links to open-access journals, individual researchers’ pages that contain PDFs, etc. Recently, Matt and I realised that neither one of us had the time or inclination to keep this up to date — fixing broken links, finding new sites, etc.
