Promoting employment among people with disabilities: Challenges and solutions
Authors: Hanga Karin , DiNitto Diana M , Wilken Jean Pierre
Published: July 2020

This article focuses on difficulties that people with disabilities and reduced work capacity experience in employment and social participation, and on their rehabilitation goals, in order to make recommendations for policy and social and vocational rehabilitation service provision. A semi-structured interview procedure, which included the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0, was used to conduct initial needs assessments with 85 persons in Estonia. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered and analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results revealed that participants experienced multiple difficulties, which they mostly ascribed to unstable health conditions, that limited their abilities to participate in employment and social activities. A large number of participants also identified themselves as unemployed for health reasons and linked their rehabilitation goals to health restoration rather than becoming employed. Difficulties such as lack of work skills, unsuitable work tempo, mobility limitations, and emotional problems were also mentioned. To support people with disabilities in obtaining and maintaining employment, services must correspond to the persons´ need; and comprehensive, person-centred rehabilitation assessment, service planning, and budgeting mechanisms are needed. Supportive legislation, flexibility in service provision, and the availability of needs-based rehabilitation and other services, including lifelong learning opportunities, are also necessary to help people learn new work skill
De-stigmatizing sex work: Building knowledge for social work
Authors: Huang Amy L
Published: July 2020

This qualitative study illuminates a controversial perspective of sex work arguing that it should be treated as a legitimate occupation. The article draws on a series of interviews with sex workers, social workers and experts working in areas of support for sex workers in Sydney, New South Wales. Sex workers, social workers and experts’ perception is that sex work was perceived as empowering for sex workers. Contrary to the common images of sex workers as drug users, victims of violence or glamorous women, most of the sex workers in this study did not fit any of the common stereotypes. Sex workers also preferred to obtain support from other sex workers rather than more ‘powerful’ professionals. These findings have implications for social work and appear to demand greater support for opportunities for sex workers to have peer-to-peer interactions and support and understanding from professionals to provide them optimal support if they wanted to remain in the sex industry.

Ética e argumentação abolicionista
Authors: Guimarães Eduardo
Published: July 2020

Este texto tem como objetivo analisar alguns movimentos de designação e argumentação no Manifesto da Confederação Abolicionista do Rio de Janeiro, de José do Patrocínio, de 1883, visando criar condições para refletir sobre a consideração de valores éticos, a partir de análises semânticas específicas. A análise será feita sobre recortes do texto, sobre três pontos fundamentais: 1.o espaço urbano do Rio de Janeiro como um cenário da luta pela abolição; 2.a argumentação sobre a abolição a partir do argumento da liberdade natural. 3.a relação do modo de estabelecimento do conceito de liberdade, no texto, e a questão dos valores éticos. Estas análises buscam encontrar na enunciação do texto a constituição de sentidos a partir do argumento da liberdade como um direito natural imprescritível, e da designação de liberdade no texto. Deste modo procura-se compreender como o sentido de igualdade pode ser considerado, segundo o texto, um valor ético fundamental.  A análise conclui, entre outras coisas, que no texto a liberdade aparece menos como uma característica que descreve a sociedade da época, e mais como um valor, como do plano do deve ser, e enquanto tal um valor que projeta um ser, um é, futuro. E a consideração do valor da liberdade significa a igualdade como um valor que garante o valor da liberdade para todos.
Políticas públicas patrimoniais

Published: July 2020

Este artigo busca analisar o mérito do tombamento do Art Déco em Goiânia, capital do estado de Goiás. Ainda hoje, vinte anos após o processo de tombamento de alguns edifícios públicos e do traçado urbano pioneiro central, boa parte da população não reconhece aquele espaço como parte da identidade goianiense. Poucos, inclusive, conhecem o processo histórico e construtivo do município ou não perfilham as características arquitetônicas do Art Déco, salientando, portando, o questionamento: qual a importância do tombamento do Art Déco em Goiânia? A estrutura deste artigo irá abarcar pesquisas que discorrem sobre a patrimonialização das cidades mundiais, o processo do “culturalismo de mercado” e a necessidade da participação popular na formulação e na implementação de políticas públicas culturais. Os resultados indicam que o tombamento das edificações supracitadas fora feito de ofício pela administração pública e que não condizem com as imagens urbanas firmadas no imaginário dos goianienses
Relações entre sujeitos em Campina do Monte Alegre após a implantação da UFSCar
Authors: Mota Ilka de Oliveira
Published: July 2020

Apoiado na Análise de Discurso de cunho materialista na interface com autores como Freud e Derrida, este artigo contribui com os estudos sobre as relações discursivas engendradas no espaço da cidade, buscando compreender como antigos e novos moradores representam a cidade a partir da implantação da UFSCar Lagoa do Sino. Com base no pressuposto de que a cidade é um lugar material no qual processos discursivos são produzidos, formula-se a hipótese de que, de um lado, há uma divisão imaginária entre cidade e seus antigos habitantes e, de outro, universidade e novos moradores, resultando em gestos de hostilidade e repulsa entre os sujeitos. O corpus é constituído de quatro entrevistas feitas com dois moradores antigos e dois recém-moradores. Como resultado, apesar de existir uma tentativa de segregação, há brechas para possíveis mudanças de posição, o que permite um espaço de convívio e de relações entre eu-outro na cidade.

Abstract

Smart machine-based home development is becoming the current trend because the system can be controlled intelligently by machines. The air conditioning system without the use of air conditioning requires a type of fan to stabilize the temperature and humidity outside the house and inside the house using a blower fan or also called an exhaust fan, but this fan is only limited to circulating air circulation between the outside air and inside the house so that the tendency for the inside air adjust to the outside air, to control the air according to the user it will be manually customized by the user. And for fans in the home room a fan is used which blows air around the fan in circulation. The application of the fuzzy system can provide a fan rotation system that is done intelligently by the machine, which can adjust the balance between the outside air and indoor air to reach air confort or cool. Fuzzy system is applied using Sugeno fuzzy inference using 81 rules to customize the exhaust fan and fan in the room.

Zakah Rate In Islamic Stock Performance Models: Evidence From Indonesia
Authors: Qudratullah Mohammad Farhan
Published: July 2020

There are three models commonly used to measure the performance of Islamicstocks, named Treynor Ratio, Sharpe Ratio, and Jansen Index. One component of the three models is risk-free returns which are usually approached with interest rates, whereas interest rates are prohibited in the concept of Islamic finance. This paper will approach a risk-free return with zakat-rate on the Islamic capital market in Indonesia from January 2011 - July 2018, then compare it with a model that uses interest rates. The results obtained by the model with interest rates and zakah-rate in this third model have very high suitability values, so that zakah-rate can be used as an alternative substitute for interest rates in measuring the Islamic stock performance. Beside not contradicting the concept of Islamic economics, calculation of models with zakah-rate is simpler than models with interest rates.

Published: July 2020

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, their families, health workers, and cemetery officials are not only haunted by tragedies of the new coronavirus but are also stigmatized by the community. Stigma can be very detrimental to social life because it can be long-lasting without proper social measures. This qualitative study examined some cases of stigma in Indonesia. The interview was broadcast both live and online by a private television station, on April 15, 2020, and supplementary informationwas obtained from reliable news stories published by various mass media and from interviews with various groups of people. We identified the limited availability of personal protective equipment among health workers, a public lack of clear understanding regarding COVID-19, the distortion of news by various media, and a lack of clarity among those responsible for providing education, information, and communication. The government has not acted in a sufficiently prompt mannerto prevent the spread of imported infectious diseases, resulting in local transmission and creating various stigmasamong local communities. Although the infection has already begun to spread, the government must continue toensure the correct understanding and clear mechanismsfor how to prevent COVID-19 among the public.

Published: July 2020

The spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a serious impact on public health. The speed and extentof its spread havedemonstrated a global failure to cultivate awareness and cooperation in responseto the threat. Therefore, in order to improve public awareness and the management of public health threats, we propose a strategy to initiate global civil society.  Using Walt and Gilson's policy triangle framework for policy analysis, we reviewed and analysed a series of articles and policies related to COVID-19, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), health resilience in the context of globalization, as well as other countries’ experiences. We also explored constitutional obligations, public health legislation, collaboration of civil society, and policies related to public health, as well as their implementation. Every country has its own public policy strategy for handling COVID-19. One possible solution is to expand the GHSA commitments and bind all countries that have signed the agreement to a single public policy strategy for the handling of COVID-19. The poor handling of the COVID-19 outbreak has demonstrated the need for Indonesia’s civil society collaborativelyoversee the Indonesia’s government’s implementationof its constitutional obligations. The government mustmake public health security a top priority, and collectives of educated individuals with a strong, shared vision must harness the power of non-governmental advocacy.

In Indonesia, the number of infected people has reached more than twenty thousand people and more than one thousand people have died from this virus. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Case Fatality Rate was a very important measure for many people because death is very important to each person, including questions of when and how death will occur and whether there is any way to delay it. However, caution is needed in calculating and displaying CFR. This paper will present the uses and the weaknesses of CFR in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.
Innovative Work Shift for Health Workers in the Health Service Providers in Handling COVID-19 Cases
Authors: Iswanto Acim Heri
Published: July 2020

Working on shifts has the risk of being exposed to health problems, such as obesity and susceptibility to infections and hypertension. However, shift work is unavoidable for workers in sectors that require non-stop operations, such as health workers in the Health Service Providers. This article presented opinion about an optimal shift rotation pattern in reducing the health risks of shift health workers while increasing the effectiveness of the treatment of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases. In general, today’s pattern of shift work for health workers is schemed in the eight-day cycle, in which employees work two days in the morning service for seven hours, two days in the evening service for seven hours, and another two days in the night service for ten hours, then followed by two days off. This pattern has the potential to cause burnout and decrease reaction time. The article identifies a new work shift pattern that can accommodate the risk of burnout while simultaneously assisting in the emergency of the corona outbreak. It emphasises the Morning-Evening-Night-Holiday work pattern as an innovative work model that should replace the old work pattern. There are seven advantages of the new work pattern: biological balance, availability of transportation, rapid recovery, reduced risk of COVID-19 transmission, increased patient satisfaction, increased self-control, and improved performance.
The Impact of Large-scale Social Restriction on COVID-19 Incidence: A Case Study of Four Regions in Indonesia
Authors: Suraya Izza , Nurmansyah Mochamad Iqbal , Rachmawati Emma , Al Aufa Badra , Koire Ibrahim Isa
Published: July 2020

The Indonesian government has chosen to implement large-scale social restrictions, or Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB), to minimize the spread of COVID-19. PSBB is a government policy aimed at restricting the internal movement of people in a bid to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2. This study aims to assess the impact of such large-scale social restriction measures on the incidence of COVID-19 cases in four provinces of Indonesia. Time series analysis was used to describe trends in COVID-19 cases by using surveillance data from the Ministry of Health of Indonesia. Quasi-Poisson regression with an interaction model was used to estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR), and this was calculated to compare the incidence rate before and during PSBB implementation. The trend in COVID-19 cases in the provinces of West Java, East Java, Banten, and Jakarta has continued to fluctuate. These four provinces have continued to experience a significant increase in the COVID-19 incidence rate ratio after the implementation of the first and second PSBB periods compared to the  period before PSBB implementation. Lack of proper implementation of the large-scale social restrictions has led to PSBB’s ineffectiveness in reducing the number of COVID-19 cases in each of the provinces.

Published: July 2020

Background : Respiratory workload increment in the process of mechanical ventilation withdrawal is critical for the determination of weaning outcome. Pressure, tidal volume (Vt) and respiratory rate (RR ) are considered as patient’s respiratory power, albeit being affected by excessive respiratory load. We aimed to evaluate the performance of driving pressure (DP)×RR to predict the outcome of weaning.

Methods : Plateau pressure (Pplat) and positive end-expiratory pressure tot (PEEPtot) were measured during mechanical ventilation, viz., (1) brief deep sedation, (2) on volume support ventilation of MV with Vt 6 ml/kg and a PEEP of 0 cm H 2 O, (3) Pplat and PEEPtot were measured by holding breath for 2s after inhalation and exhalation, respectively. The DP was determined as Pplat minus PEEPtot. The highest RR was recorded within 3 min during spontaneous-breathing trial (SBT). Patients that were able to tolerate SBT for 1 h were directly extubated .

Results : Out of the 61 patients studied, 22 failed weaning. During the withdrawal of ventilation, DP×RR was 134.2±33.2 cmH 2 O ·breaths/min and 238.5±61.7 cmH 2 O·breaths/min ( P =0.00), DP was 7.9±1.6 cmH 2 O and 9.7±2.3 cmH 2 O ( P =0.00), in the “success” and “failure” groups, respectively. The DP×RR index greater than 170 cmH 2 O·breaths/min had a sensitivity of 95.5% and a specificity of 89.7%, while DP index greater than 8.1 cmH 2 O had 81.8% sensitivity and 64.1% specificity to predict weaning failure.

Conclusions : Measurement of DP×RR during withdrawal of ventilation may help predict weaning outcome. Noticeably, high DP×RR increased the likelihood of weaning failure.

BackgroundCemented Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (OUKA) has shown excellent clinical and functional long-term results as a treatment option for patients with end-stage anteromedial osteoarthritis of the knee. Despite the good long-term results that have been reported in the literature, registry data show that aseptic loosening and pain associated with the appearance of commonly seen radiolucencies around the tibial component are the most common causes for revision surgery in cemented OUKA. In order to address these problems, the cementless OUKA has been developed. Initial studies indicate excellent clinical short-term results for cementless OUKA although the risk of tibial head fracture seems to be elevated and long-term results are not yet available. Given the ongoing debate about the benefits or disadvantages of cementless fixation in knee arthroplasty, there is a need for independent level I and level II studies in order to assess the safety and equivalence of cementless OUKA in comparison to the well-documented clinical results of the cemented OUKA.Methods/DesignThis study has a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-centre, non-inferiority design. A total of 306 Patients with anteromedial OA will be randomized to cementless or cemented OUKA either at the Heidelberg University Hospital or at the Kepler University Hospital Linz. As primary outcome measure we evaluate the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) to compare clinical and functional results 2 years after cemented versus uncemented OUKA.Secondary outcome measures include clinical and functional scores as measured with the American Knee Society Score (AKSS), UCLA Activity Score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Forgotten Knee Score (FJS-12), Visual Analog Pain Score (VAS), and health related quality of life questionaire (EQ-5D). In addition, complications such as the occurrence of periprosthetic fractures or implant loosening, incidence of radiolucencies and reoperation rates among others will be evaluated as secondary outcome measures and compared between the two groups. A subgroup of patients (n=150) will be asked to undergo additional radiographic DXA measurement to assess the changes in bone mineral density around the femoral and tibial components preoperatively and two years after surgery.Trials RegistrationPrior to the beginning of the clinical phase (FPI) we registered the trial at Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien (German Clinical Trials Register) with the registration number: DRKS00021303. Registered 30 April 2020. The Registration will be forwarded to the to the WHO within the next update (within the next 4 weeks) and will be searchable via its Meta-registry ( http://apps.who.int/trialsearch/ ).

BackgroundPost-term pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of maternal complications, respiratory distress and trauma to the neonate. Amniotic membrane sweeping has been recommended as a simple procedure to promote the spontaneous onset of labour. However, despite its widespread use, there is an absence of evidence on a) its effectiveness and b) its optimal timing and frequency. The primary aim of the MILO study is to inform the optimal design of a future definitive randomised trial to evaluate the effectiveness (including optimal timing and frequency) of membrane sweeping to prevent post-term pregnancy. We will also assess the acceptability and feasibility of the proposed trial interventions to clinicians and women (through focus group interviews).Methods/DesignMulticentre, pragmatic, parallel group, pilot randomised controlled trial with an embedded factorial design. Pregnant women with a live, singleton fetus ≥ 38 weeks gestation, cephalic presentation, longitudinal lie, intact membranes, English speaking and ≥18 years of age will be randomised in a 2:1 ratio to:- Membrane sweep versus no membrane sweepWomen allocated randomly to a sweep will then be randomised further (factorial component) to:- early (from 39 weeks) versus late (from 40 weeks) sweep commencement; and- a single verses weekly sweepThe proposed feasibility study consists of four work packages i.e., (1) a multicentre, pilot randomised trial, 2) a health economic analysis and 3) a qualitative study (4) a study within the host trial (a SWAT).Outcomes to be collected include: recruitment and retention rates, compliance with protocol, randomisation and allocation processes, attrition rates and cost-effectiveness.Focus groups will be held with women and clinicians to explore the acceptability and feasibility of the proposed intervention, study procedures and perceived barriers and enablers to recruitment.DiscussionThe primary aim of the MILO study is to inform the optimal design of a future definitive randomised trial to evaluate the effectiveness (including optimal timing and frequency) of membrane sweeping to prevent post-term pregnancy. Results will inform whether and how the design of the definitive trial as originally envisaged should be delivered or adapted.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov, ID: NCT04307199.

Published: July 2020

Background: The yak (Bos grunniens) is a crucial resource to supply meat and milk to the people localized in Qinghai-Tibetan plateau area. To identify lncRNAs regulating metabolism in yak, this work adopted transcriptome method to simultaneously profile mRNAs and lncRNAs of liver in yak under three representative age (LD: Liver 1 Day, LM: Liver 15 Months, LY: Liver 5 Years) conditions.Result: Of 288 differentially expressed lncRNAs, function-oriented selection yield 88 regulated metabolically related lncRNAs that were differentially expressed at least two age conditions. These lncRNAs predicted by lncRNA-mRNA correlation analysis to function in various aspects of metabolism. Selected regulations of liver metabolically related lncRNAs were further verified by qRT-PCR.Conclusion: Combining high throughput RNA-seq screening screens, bioinformatics predictions, lncRNA-mRNA correlation analysis and qRT-PCR analysis, this study supports that a class of lncRNAs function as important metabolic regulators and establishes a foundation for further investigating the role of lncRNAs in yak.
Prevalence And Predictors Of Diabetes Mellitus Among Persons Living With Hiv (Plwhiv)
Authors: UMAR DAVID MOHAMMED , NAIDOO PANJASARAM
Published: July 2020

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic non-infectious medical condition which is evident by raised levels of glucose in the blood, because the body cannot produce any or enough of the hormone insulin or use insulin effectively. Diabetes, if not well managed leads to complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy which can be fatal. Some of the factors that predisposes to diabetes include older age, higher body mass index, heredity and hypertension. With the availability of HAART for the managing HIV/AIDS infection, life span of persons living with HIV (PLWHIV) has increased significantly. With increased longevity, the aging population of PLWHIV also face chronic diseases such as diabetes in addition to HIV. The burden of both HIV and diabetes is high in South Africa, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal. Nevertheless, the prevalence of diabetes among PLWHIV in KwaZulu-Natal and its predictors is not well understood. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence, predictors of diabetes and the outcome of managing diabetes among PLWHIV.Methods: The study was conducted in four public health care facilities in KwaZulu-Natal after ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. A pretested questionnaire and hospital patient charts were used to collect data. SPSS version 26 was used to analyze the data using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of diabetes among PLWHIV was 9%. This was higher than the prevalence of diabetes of 5.4% among the general population in South Africa. Just over 47% of those who had diabetes, had uncontrolled blood sugar, with a mean fasting blood sugar (FBS) of 11.7 mmol/L. The predictors of diabetes among PLWHIV were, male gender and older age. Male PLWHIV had 65% less chances of having diabetes and those who were between the ages of 18 and 48 years were 88% less probable to have diabetes compared to those who were older than 48 years. Conclusion: Public sector health care facilities in KwaZulu-Natal need to do much more to manage diabetes in PLWHIV in order to prevent diabetic complications and possible negative impact on the outcome of HIV management.
