Published: March 2023

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the status of POM121 gene expression, which is one of the nuclear pore proteins in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL), compared with the normal population, and its relationship with prognosis and other clinical findings.

Materials and Methods: Fifty-nine patients with ALL followed up and treated between January 2008 and November 2013, and 36 control subjects were included in the study. A real-time PCR method was used to detect POM121 gene expressions.

Results: The mean value of POM121 expression was 3.75±2.91 in ALL patients and 3.32±3.76 in the control group. The 3 and 10 year overall survival (OS) was better in ALL with lower POM121 expression (77%, 70% versus 68%, 58%, respectively). Although the OS was better in B-ALL patients, with lower POM121 expression (84%, 75% versus 54%, 46%, respectively), in T-ALL, in contrast, the OS results were better in patients with a higher POM121 expression (90%, 90% versus 60%, 60%, respectively). Patients with a higher POM121 expression than the mean of the control group and who had relapse and central nervous system involvement had statistically significantly lower OS results in the 3rd and 10th years (16%, 0% versus 84%, 78%, respectively).

Conclusion: High POM121 expression negatively affects the prognosis in patients with ALL. This is a study to show the relationship between POM121 expression and prognosis in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemias, POM121 function will be clarified further with more comprehensive studies.

Purpose: The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) is an important parameter that reflects insulin resistance and its use has increased recently. Its relationship with cardiovascular diseases has been shown in previous studies. Our aim was to investigate the association of residual SYNTAX score (rSS) with TyG index in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Materials and Methods: A total of 663 STEMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the TyG index level as high and low. The cut-off value for the TyG index was determined as 9.61 by ROC analysis. Coronary artery disease severity was calculated for both groups besides baseline clinical and demographic variables.

Results: A total of 281 patients were evaluated in the high TyG index group and 386 patients in the low TyG index group. A rSS above 8 was considered high. The proportion of patients with high rSS in the increased TyG index group was found to be significantly higher than in the other group [114 (40.6) vs. 54 (14.0)]. In addition, higher TyG index is determined to be the independent predictor of higher rSS in logistic regression analysis.

Conclusion: High TyG index had a strong association with rSS and higher TyG index was an independent predictor of increased rSS in patients with STEMI
Dynamic deformations of shallow sediments in the Valley of Mexico, Part II: Single-station estimates
Authors: Singh S. K. , Santoyo M. , Bodin P. , Gomberg J.
Published: March 2023

We develop simple relations to estimate dynamic displacement gradients (and hence the strains and rotations) during earthquakes in the lake-bed zone of the Valley of Mexico, where the presence of low-velocity, high-water content clays in the uppermost layers cause dramatic amplification of seismic waves and large strains. The study uses results from a companion article (Bodin et al., 1997) in which the data from an array at Roma, a lake-bed site, were analyzed to obtain displacement gradients. In this article, we find that the deformations at other lake-bed sites may differ from those at Roma by a factor of 2 to 3. More accurate estimates of the dominant components of the deformation at an individual instrumented lake-bed site may be obtained from the maximum horizontal velocity and displacement, νmax and umax, at the surface. The maximum surface strain ɛmax is related to νmax by ɛmax = νmax/C, with C ∼ 0.6 km/sec. From the analysis of data from sites equipped with surface and borehole sensors, we find that the vertical gradient of peak horizontal displacement (Δumax/Δz) computed from sensors at 0 and 30 m equals (umax)z=0/Δz, Δz = 30 m, within a factor of 1.5. This is the largest gradient component, and the latter simple relation permits its estimation from surface records alone. The observed profiles of umax versus depth suggest a larger gradient in some depth range of 10 to 20 m, in agreement with synthetic calculations presented in Bodin et al. (1997).

From the free-field recordings of the 19 September 1985 Michoacan earthquake, we estimate a maximum surface strain, ɛmax, between 0.05% and 0.11%, and a lower bound for the peak vertical gradient (Δumax/Δz) between 0.3% and 1.3%. This implies that (1) the extensive failure of water pipe joints during the Michoacan earthquake in the valley occurred at axial strains of about 0.1%, not 0.38% as previously reported, and (2) the clays of the valley behave almost linearly even at shear strain of about 1%, in agreement with laboratory tests. The available data in the valley can be used to predict deformations during future earthquakes using self-similar earthquake scaling.
A study on the hydrated systems of H₂SO₄,(H₂SO₄)₂,NH₃·H₂SO₄,SO₃ and its atmospheric implications
Authors:   , Ianni James C. , Bandy Alan R.
Published: March 2023

An ab initio quantum mechanical and density functional theory study was performed on H₂SO₄·nH₂O, n=0-7, (H₂SO₄)₂·nH₂O, n=0-6, NH₃·H₂SO₄·nH₂O, n=0-5, and SO₃·nH₂O, n=0-5. A comparison is performed on selected quantum mechanical theories (Hartree-Fock and Moller-Plesset Perturbation) and a recent density functional theory (Becke's Hybrid Functional using the correlation correction of Lee, Yang and Parr) at various sized basis sets (6-311 G**, 6-311+G(2d,p) and 6-311 G++G(2d,2p)). Optimized geometries, dipoles, heat capacities, rotational constants and harmonic frequencies are reported for selected molecular clusters. Internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and free energy changes are reported for the hydration reactions of the above selected compounds at various temperatures found in the troposphere and stratosphere. Isomerization enthalpies, entropies and free energies are reported for reactions of H₂SO₄·nH₂O [double-ended arrow] HSO₄⁻·(n-1)H₂O·H₃O⁺, n=3-6. NH₃·H₂SO₄·nH₂O [double-ended arrow] NH₄⁺·nH₂O·HSO₄⁻, n=2-5. SO₃·nH₂O [double-ended arrow] H₂SO₄·(n-1)H₂O, n=1-5. The ab initio quantum mechanical and density functional theory results are used to implement two chemical kinetic models. The kinetic models compare quite well with the reported experimental results, considering that the rate constants in the models were not fit to experimental data.
Resources, toxicants and climatic variation

Published: March 2023

Empirical and experimental evaluation of ecological processes in aquatic systems can yield tremendous insight into the interactions between humans and their environment. Too often, however, insight gained by scientists is lost in the attempt to transfer information to resource managers and the general public. A major problem in this process is that it is difficult to convey how simple interactions discerned through scientific studies have relevance to the complex real world. A novel multidisciplinary approach to this issue that is wide in ecological scope but focused on a single region (the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem) is employed here to demonstrate a potential solution. This is a four part case study of phytoplankton responses to the environment that addresses critical environmental issues including climate change, multiple environmental stresses, aquatic toxicology, atmospheric contamination and ecological modeling, all focusing on an area which is known for both its natural beauty and its highly charged political issues. Each particular piece of the study is relatively simple and independently coherent. This makes the approaches outlined here Ideal for separate or combined application to other areas and other sets of issues. The first investigation outlined the connections between ENSO, local hydrology and aquatic ecological processes in Yellowstone area lakes. A second investigation of associations among sediment chemistry and fossil diatom composition demonstrated long term increases in N loading and decadal scale regulation of diatom community composition by resource availability. A third study utilizing algal growth inhibition bioassays and non-linear modeling demonstrated that ambient levels of Cu in regional waters are sufficient to inhibit phytoplankton growth. The final experimental study using batch and semi-continuous culture methods with phytoplankton communities demonstrated significant interactions between the combined stresses of resource limitation and metal toxicity in phytoplankton communities of this region and in pelagic systems in general. A combined interpretation of these studies suggests that complex interactions between climate change, atmospheric N loading and toxic metals are affecting ecological processes in relatively pristine environments. Developing adequate qualitative and quantitative models of the mechanistic interactions between humans and their environment may often require exactly such a complex combination of simple scientific approaches.
High-Achieving Asian American Adolescents and Suicide
Authors: Chock-Goldman Jessica
Published: March 2023

Within the field of suicidology, high-achieving Asian American adolescents are an under-researched at-risk population. The present paper reviews the existing literature on this topic, addressing the increase in suicidal ideation and suicide attempts within this at-risk group, and explores ecologically valid social work interventions. School social workers are first responders to these at-risk youth and must be well-versed in the risk-factors, including parental resistance to treatment, within the specific populations they serve. To illustrate the relevant issues, a case example is presented of an adolescent Bangladeshi male who attempted suicide while attending school. Finally, this paper recommends suicide prevention measures, including a culturally appropriate suicide assessment and family therapy.
Maltreatment and NICU Infants
Authors: Cross JaNeen
Published: March 2023

Child maltreatment is a concern for NICU infants who have special care needs at discharge. Improving mother-infant attachment through breastfeeding in a NICU environment may reduce maltreatment for this high-risk, vulnerable population. Breastfeeding an infant in the NICU is a complicated caretaking task yet provides an opportunity to overcome parenting challenges associated with a medically fragile infant by promoting the development of the maternal-infant attachment bond. Breastfeeding can serve as a prevention strategy for child maltreatment by improving attachment and bonding that is oftentimes disrupted between the NICU infant and mother due to the hospitalization. Social workers serve a pivotal role in preventing child maltreatment through education, promotion, and support of breastfeeding policies. This article highlights the role of social work in enhancing mother-infant attachment and advocating for NICU policies that support attachment therefore preventing maltreatment.
Increasing Social Work’s Stake in Interprofessional Practice
Authors: Benton Amy , Allen Alejandro , Anderson Lindsey , Nason Erica
Published: March 2023

Integrated behavioral healthcare is becoming increasingly important and central to social work practice as the healthcare field shifts from a solely disease model of health to a more holistic approach. Researchers have also noted the need for studies demonstrating effective models for incorporating integrated healthcare training into schools of social work. Studies that demonstrate the effects of integrated training have the potential to provide legitimacy to these training programs, an important step in furthering their adoption within schools of social work in the United States and abroad. The training program described here was designed to increase the number of MSW social workers who provide trauma-informed, culturally relevant, evidence-based behavioral health prevention and intervention practices at integrated healthcare settings. This study used a pre- and post-survey design with non-participating MSW students as a control group. Findings indicate significant increases in knowledge, skills, and attitudes for training participants. A recommendation for further research is to explore to what extent graduates transfer their enhanced knowledge to the workplace.
Information Communication Technology and the Social Worker-Client Relationship
Authors: Randolph Karen , Don Latham  , Melissa Gross  , Christopher Constantino
Published: March 2023

A core value in social work is the importance of the worker-client relationship. Communication is a key factor in this relationship. The pandemic, marked by a dramatic, rapid increase in communication through information communication technology (ICT), has underscored both challenges and benefits for the worker-client relationship. Informed by communication theories, this paper provides a conceptual framework for examining ICT interactions between workers and clients at the generalist practice level. The review revealed four challenges (e.g., more permeable worker-client boundaries) and five benefits (e.g., increased opportunities for social presence). Factors to be considered in guiding tool selection are: (1) communication medium “bandwidth”, (2) mutual directionality, (3) privacy and confidentiality, (4) message formality, and (5) complexity of message content. Implications for practice, education, and research emerged from this framework. For instance, increased methods of communication via technology can enhance social workers’ social presence in relating to clients. However, social workers must know how and when to use which tools. Finally, evidence is needed regarding how ICT use affects the worker-client relationship. Moving forward, we recommend applying communication theories to guide research on the impact of ICT on the worker-client relationship with the goal of establishing best practices for ICT use.

Published: March 2023

Social workers and other health care researchers have examined benefits and challenges of telehealth in rural communities before the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, experience with virtual platforms and other technologies have rapidly evolved during the pandemic. The research team interviewed 14 health care providers and 17 patients after the onset of the pandemic in a predominantly rural state to examine perceptions of telehealth. MaxQDA analytic software was used to identify benefits and challenges in the use of telehealth. Findings identified commonly discussed benefits of telehealth including convenience for patients, increasing patient access to care, improved patient experience of care, and ability of telehealth to attract/retain patients. Challenges identified in this study included concerns about quality of care being compromised, patients’ comfort and access to technology, policy challenges for providers, and the impersonal nature of telehealth visits. Persistent issues warrant research, education, and policy advocacy to improve access for rural populations. Social workers should play a key role in educating the emerging and existing workforce around barriers such as quality of care and patient comfort with technology, convening professionals and patients to establish sustained and effective reimbursement models, and advocating for structural access via enhanced broadband and other resource allocations.
Moral Reconation Therapy

Published: March 2023

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a manualized treatment commonly used in correctional settings to address perceived moral failing and associated problematic behaviors (e.g., substance use and criminal conduct). Many social work students are introduced to MRT as a treatment modality during field placements in correctional contexts. As a group modality that draws from cognitive-behavioral interventions and 12-step recovery programs, MRT has been touted as a cost-effective and evidence-based intervention. However, there are substantial reasons to question MRT’s appropriateness as an intervention taught to social work practicum students. Using several of the CSWE EPAS standards as guideposts, this paper addresses several key areas of concern with regard to the role of MRT in the training of social work students. Through our analysis of MRT’s curriculum, we identify areas of concern with regard to MRT’s ability to teach social work students how to ethically practice, engage diversity and difference in practice, or utilize research to inform practice. Despite the widespread use of MRT in correctional counseling contexts, we conclude that MRT is unsuitable for use in accredited social work field placements. Educators and accreditation agencies should critically evaluate the treatment models social work students learn and practice in field placements.
Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Social Work Students

Published: March 2023

COVID-19 had a profound impact on teaching and learning at academic institutions across the globe. This study examined the experiences of social work students (n = 884) during the pandemic and their associated level of burnout. Using a mixed methods approach, data from an online survey within a school of social work at a large Midwestern university were examined using stepwise regression and thematic analysis. Student demographics, academic characteristics, and experiences with COVID-19 were examined as predictors of burnout. Resilience was tested as a moderator of the association between COVID-19 experiences and burnout. Regression models accounted for 34.3% to 45.5% of variance across three domains of burnout (i.e., exhaustion, cynicism, and professional/academic efficacy), with COVID-related experiences accounting for most of the variance. Although resilience had a significant main effect, the interactions of resilience and COVID-19 experiences were not significant. Quantitative results were illuminated by thematic analysis of the qualitative data from which emerged four major themes: online teaching pedagogy, impact of COVID-19, transition of teaching and learning, and affective domains of learning. Engaging in humanistic education is discussed as a possible approach to circumvent burnout, bolster student resilience, and encourage academic success.

The absolute shortage of compatible liver donors and the growing number of potential recipients have led scientists to explore alternative approaches to providing tissue/ organ substitutes from bioengineered sources. Bioartificial regeneration of a fully functional tissue/organ replacement is highly dependent on the right combination of engineering tools, biological principles, and materiobiology horizons. Over the past two decades, remarkable achievements have been made in hepatic tissue engineering by converging various advanced interdisciplinary research approaches. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has arisen as a promising state-of-the-art tool with strong potential to fabricate volumetric liver tissue/organ equivalents using viscosity- and degradation-controlled printable bioinks composed of hydrous microenvironments, and formulations containing living cells and associated supplements. Source of origin, biophysiochemical, or thermomechanical properties and crosslinking reaction kinetics are prerequisites for ideal bioink formulation and realizing the bioprinting process. In this review, we delve into the forecast of the potential future utility of bioprinting technology and the promise of tissue/organspecific decellularized biomaterials as bioink substrates. Afterward, we outline various methods of decellularization, and the most relevant studies applying decellularized bioinks toward the bioengineering of in vitro liver models. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of decellularized material-based bioprinting in the direction of clinical regenerative medicine are presented to motivate further developments.
Ensino remoto emergencial na formação de enfermeiros licenciados e técnicos de enfermagem: potencialidades e fragilidades
Authors: Guedes Natália Murai , Antunes Nicolle Santos , Cassi Cristian Carla Aparecida Volski
Published: March 2023

Diante da pandemia de COVID-19, as atividades presenciais das instituições de ensino foram suspensas, e assim, surgiu a discussão sobre a implementação do Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE). Tendo em vista que a formação de técnicos de Enfermagem e enfermeiros apresenta particularidades, como as aulas práticas, observou-se a necessidade de debater sobre os reflexos do ERE em seus respectivos cursos. Objetivo: Compartilhar a experiência vivenciada por acadêmicas de Enfermagem durante um estágio de licenciatura em um curso técnico de Enfermagem no período do ERE, para discutir sobre as potencialidades e fragilidades desta estratégia emergencial na formação de tais profissionais. Metodologia: Trata-se de um relato de experiência, desenvolvido por acadêmicas do oitavo período do curso de Bacharelado e Licenciatura em Enfermagem de uma universidade federal da região sul do Brasil, durante a disciplina de “Prática de Docência no Ensino da Enfermagem”, ao longo dos meses de agosto a novembro de 2020. Resultados: Após a vivência, elencaram-se potencialidades (aumento das possibilidades metodológicas e facilidade de locomoção) e fragilidades (prejuízo no desenvolvimento de um olhar atento ao aluno, fortalecimento das desigualdades, e impacto na qualidade de ensino). Conclusão: Sendo assim, mesmo que as acadêmicas de licenciatura tenham sido aprovadas na disciplina de Prática de Docência e se mostrem capacitadas, é necessário pensar sobre como o ERE fragiliza o aprendizado dos discentes do curso técnico de Enfermagem, e futuramente poderá resultar em debilidades na assistência em saúde, colocando em risco à vida dos pacientes.

Esse trabalho teve como objetivo propor um folder educativo sobre sífilis para ser distribuído durante consultas ginecológicas e pré-natal de pacientes assistidas por programas de saúde da família em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Alunos do 5° ano do curso de Medicina de uma instituição privada elaboraram esse trabalho a partir de dados disponíveis no DATASUS do Ministério da Saúde, relacionados à sífilis, com ênfase em sífilis congênita e publicações científicas relacionadas ao tema. Os dados mostram que os casos de sífilis congênita em Belo Horizonte aumentaram na última década, e esse aumento se relaciona com parâmetros como: a faixa etária e baixa escolaridade das gestantes, a realização incompleta do pré-natal, ausência de tratamento do parceiro e limitações no diagnóstico. Frente a isso, destacou-se a necessidade de esclarecimento das pacientes em relação ao conceito de sífilis materna e congênita e fatores relacionados, sendo essa estratégia realizada por elaboração de um material educativo, por exemplo, um folder. Dessa forma e após análises de legibilidade por índices FLF e FK, o folder proposto foi considerado acessível, com linguagem simples e de fácil compreensão, o que atende ao recomendado para o público-alvo, formado por pacientes, principalmente, de baixa escolaridade.

Múltiples velocidades. Sobre Democracia sin atajos, de Cristina Lafont
Authors: Martí José Luis
Published: March 2023

En su último libro, Democracia sin atajos, Cristina Lafont nos propone un exigente ideal de democracia como autogobierno en el que los ciudadanos deben poder participar en los procesos de deliberación pública con el fin de poderse apropiar e identificar por igual con las instituciones y leyes a las que están sujetos. En el arduo camino de aproximación al ideal, Lafont rechaza los atajos mágicos que prometen la realización instantánea del ideal, como los mini-públicos, bajo algunas de sus interpretaciones. En este comentario defiendo que hay dos tipos de atajos de representación institucional, los de sustitución y los complementarios, y que los segundos son totalmente compatibles con el esquema de Lafont. Con respecto a los de sustitución, argumento que cualquier teoría no ideal plausible de la democracia debería también hacerles espacio, bajo ciertas condiciones democráticas sistémicas estrictas.
El cine del surandino peruano sobre el conflicto armado: género cinematográfico e hibridez desde los márgenes del establishment de Lima
Authors: Torres Vitolas Miguel Ángel , Aguirre Pérez Fernando
Published: March 2023

El artículo plantea una mirada crítica sobre la noción de género cinematográfico confrontándola con las producciones del cine peruano del surandino que han representado el conflicto armado interno. En primer lugar, este ejercicio nos conduce a cuestionar la noción misma de género, entendida antes como una condición de intercomprensión en la práctica comunicativa entre productores y audiencia. Nos interesa más cómo la comprensión del término pone en evidencia una disputa que se origina desde y entre los múltiples agentes que intervienen en el fenómeno cinematográfico. En segundo lugar, nos ayuda a identificar como característica fundamental de dicha filmografía una que la distingue del cine hegemónico limeño preeminentemente realista cuando se acerca al conflicto armado interno: la hibridez de géneros. Se trataría de una operación simbólica mediante la cual este cine se reivindica como diferente respecto del cine de Lima y sienta las bases de sus propias identidades.
Justicia de género transformadora
Authors: Boesten Jelke
Published: March 2023

Basándose en el trabajo de Andrea Durbach sobre la justicia de género postconflicto transformadora, este artículo se pregunta si la justicia penal por la violencia sexual relacionada con el conflicto - VSRC puede generar una justicia de género transformadora en América Latina. Este artículo presenta un análisis comparativo de los casos judiciales de VSRC: el caso Sepur Zarco en Guatemala y el caso Manta y Vilca en el Perú. Este artículo argumenta que las cortes domésticas pueden tener efectos transformadores importantes en las víctimas-sobrevivientes, en sus familias y en las prácticas de justicia penal por VSRC, cuando se cumplen las normas internacionales dentro del contexto local y específico del caso, tal como en el caso Sepur Zarco. Si no se consideran las normas internacionales, es mucho menos probable que tales casos sean transformadores; de hecho, el proceso podría hacer daño, como en el caso Manta y Vilca. Por lo tanto, los procesos de justicia penal no son transformadores por defecto, pero la buena práctica podría ser importante para la justicia de género transformadora, al brindar reparación a las víctimas-sobrevivientes y a las comunidades afectadas. Esto, a su vez, puede desestabilizar las jerarquías y construir la responsabilidad.

El artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre las élites empresariales de la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina, entre 2015 y 2019. Comenzando con la discusión de la literatura de investigación latinoamericana y argentina, se enfoca en el análisis de trayectorias sociales de empresarios, describiendo sus similitudes y construye una tipología de sus diferencias. La investigación se asienta en la propuesta teórica de Charles Tilly (2000) sobre mecanismos de desigualdad. La indagación se llevó adelante desde un enfoque metodológico cualitativo que incluyó el despliegue de múltiples técnicas de investigación (análisis de la prensa, observaciones y entrevistas biográficas). Se empleó un método posicional de identificación de élites (Perissinotto y Codato, 2015), con el objetivo de construir trayectorias sociales. Los principales resultados habilitaron la construcción de cuatro tipos de trayectorias de las élites empresariales locales desde dos ejes analíticos: la actividad económica en relación con las sociabilidades de origen, y los modos de participación en la política gremial empresarial. Estos resultados ponen de relieve la heterogeneidad de caminos presentes en las élites económicas, y la importancia de su comprensión en atención a las desigualdades de las sociedades latinoamericanas.
Las dos muertes de la idea de progreso (1800-1968)
Authors: Ribes Alberto Javier
Published: March 2023

Este artículo se ocupa de las dos muertes de la idea de progreso, de sus avatares y desarrollos y de las consecuencias que este proceso supuso para toda la modernidad pesada (1800-1968). La primera muerte de la idea de progreso se produjo, pues, en su propia formulación; se renunció, entonces, a asumir la apertura que había propuesto y que posibilitaba, al convertir su programa en una extensión y profundización del presente. El cierre empezó a finales de la década de 1960, con un giro paradójico hacia el propio abismo del presente absoluto y la vida cotidiana y ha culminado en nuestros días. He aquí la segunda muerte de la idea de progreso, asesinada, esta vez, por abandono.

El objetivo principal fue determinar los efectos de la configuración motivacional (CM) del profesor y del estudiante en niveles grupal e individual, sobre clima motivacional de clase (CMC), motivación atribuida y satisfacción con el profesor (MASP) y rendimiento estimado (RE). Los datos de 1.022 estudiantes secundarios y 50 profesores bolivianos fueron analizados con modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales multinivel. La CM de estudiantes y profesores fue explicada por clima motivacional escolar, expectativas de autoeficacia, orientación de meta y creencias sobre el aprendizaje, conocimiento y autoridad. La CM del profesor no tuvo incidencia en CMC, MASP y RE, pero sí la del estudiante, especialmente el nivel grupal, que refleja los elementos comunes entre los estudiantes de cada clase.
Impact of Attachment Styles, Need for Social Approval, and Emotional Regulation on Mental Health: A Parallel Mediation Model
Authors: Salinas-Quiroz Fernando , Domínguez-Espinosa Alejandra Del Carmen , Ríos Mercado Sara Patricia
Published: March 2023

Emotional Regulation (ER) strategies are created depending on the attachment style, as the probability to experiment positive emotions increases. Need for Social Approval (NSA) works as a motivator that guides behavior and facilitates social adaptation, being associated positively with Mental Health (MH). Relationships between attachment styles, ER, SD and MH were evaluated. In total, 469 participants answered the Revised Adult Attachment Scale, the ER Questionnaire, the NSA Scale and the MH Inventory MHI-38. Significant differences were found in all variables regarding attachment styles. Securely attached individuals had the highest psychological wellbeing and used cognitive re-evaluation as an ER strategy. NSA is conceived as a favorable social adjustment strategy that impacts individual’s MH, influenced by attachment styles in interaction with ER.

Instagram, herkesin ücretsiz bir şekilde hesap açarak fotoğraflarını ve videolarını çeşitli yollarla paylaşabilmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra kullanıcıların takip ettiği kişilerin fotoğraflarını ve videolarını görüntüleyebildikleri bir platformdur. Dolayısıyla Instagram’ın bu yapısıyla mahremiyet konusunun merkezinde yer alması şaşırtıcı değildir. Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin mahremiyet yönelimleri tespit edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, Selçuk Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi’nde eğitim gören tüm bölümlerdeki birinci ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerini kapsayan bir saha araştırması yapılmıştır. Uygulanan 329 anket sonucunda katılımcıların mahremiyet konusunda fikir sahibi oldukları ve Instagram’da mahremiyet kaygısı duydukları anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin sahip oldukları kaygıya rağmen, bu mecrada günün önemli bir kısmını geçirdikleri görülmüştür.

Bu araştırmada amaç öğretmenlerin örgütsel adalet algıları ile örgütsel bağlılık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek ve kişisel özelliklere göre, örgütsel adalet ve örgütsel bağlılık düzeylerinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için araştırmanın evreni Türkiye’de Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı kamu ve vakıf okullarında görev yapan öğretmenlerden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi kullanıldığından araştırmanın örneklemi Muğla İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı (Merkez, Bodrum, Milas, Yatağan) kamu ve vakıf okullarında görev yapan 400 öğretmenden oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma problemine ulaşabilmek için Muğla İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı (Muğla Merkez, Bodrum, Milas, Yatağan) kamu ve vakıf okullarındaki 400 öğretmene uygulanan örgütsel adalet ve örgütsel bağlılık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki, anket sorularına verilen cevaplardan elde edilen verilerle analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada iki ölçek kullanılmıştır. Birincisi, Yıldırım’ın (2002) kullandığı Niehoff ve Moorman (1993) tarafından hazırlanan 18 sorunun Doğan’ın (2008) öğretmenlere uyarlamasıyla oluşturulmuş, beşli likert tipinde “Örgütsel Adalet” anketidir. Toplam 20 maddeden oluşan örgütsel adalet ölçeği; dağıtımsal, işlemsel ve etkileşimsel adalet olmak üzere üç alt boyuttan meydana gelmektedir. İkincisi, Mowday, Steers ve Porter tarafından geliştirilen, Balay'ın (2000) Türkçeye uyarlayarak, öğretmenlerde uyguladığı 15 maddelik örgütsel bağlılık ölçeğidir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğretmenler bulundukları kurumda örgütsel adalet algısına sahiptir. Örgütsel adalet algısının ortalamanın üstünde olması örgütsel bağlılık düzeyinin de yüksek olmasını sağlamıştır
Fewer and Farther Between: Decoupling Changing Abundance and Timing to Characterize Distributional Patterns and Movements of Longfin Smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) In the San Francisco Estuary

Coincident changes in abundance and behavior pose a challenge for interpreting abundance data from monitoring programs. In the San Francisco Estuary, long-term monitoring documented the declines of many species including the anadromous Longfin Smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys). We identified seasonal patterns in reginal presence of Longfin Smelt through its life cycle using monitoring data and generalized additive modelling. We then investigated the year-to-year variability in the seasonal patterns of presence using functional data analysis (FDA). FDA separated the variability due to population size from variability due to differences in timing of presence. We found that Longfin Smelt have consistent seasonal distribution patterns and that two trawl types were needed to accurately describe those patterns. After accounting for variability due to year-class strength, shifts in the timing of presence were evident in three regions. The most variable period for the upstream regions Suisun Bay and West Delta was for age-0 fish in summer and for the downstream region Central Bay was for age-0 fish in late fall. This manifested as a delay in the typical fall re-occupation of upstream regions that comprise the study area for another monitoring study (Fall Midwater Trawl). Thus, a portion of the recent reductions in Fall Midwater Trawl abundance of Longfin Smelt resulted from changes in behavior rather than a decline in abundance. The presence of multiple monitoring surveys allowed analysis of distribution from one data set to aid interpretation of patterns in abundance from another monitoring survey. This study highlights how identifying portions of the life cycle with the most and least variability in distribution can help inform the types of management strategies that will be most effective. It also illustrates an analytical method that can be used to address the problem of confounded effects of abundance and behavior on patterns in monitoring data.

Background: the nature of alpha-D-mannose - natural aldohexose sugar, C-2 glucose epimer, whose intended use is for preventing urinary tract infections - in the interaction with E. coli is addressed in order to drive the issue of its regulatory classification as a medicinal product or medical device. Methods: PRISMA systematic review approach was applied; Delphi Panel method used to target consensus on statements retrieved from evidence. Results: Based of regulatory definitions and research evidences, the mechanism of D-mannose does not involve a metabolic or immunological action while there is an uncertainty regarding the pharmacological action. Specific interaction between the product and the bacteria within the body occurs, but its nature is inert: it does not induce a direct response activating or inhibiting body processes. Moreover, the action of D-mannose takes place, even if inside the bladder, outside the epithelium on bacteria that have not yet invaded the urothelial tissue. Therefore, its mechanism of action is not directed to host structures but to structures (bacteria) external to the host's tissues. Conclusions: From a regulatory perspective, D-mannose maintains the current medical device classification: new regulations and legal judgments can add further considerations. From a pharmacological perspective, research is driven versus synthetic mannosides: no further considerations are expected on alpha-D-mannose.
Similarity Measure of Spatiotemporal Event Setting Sequences: Method Development and A Case Study on Monitoring Coastal Fecal Coliform Pollution Events
Authors: Xu Fuyu , Beard Kate
Published: March 2023

Examining the similarity of event environments or surroundings, more precisely settings, provides additional insight in analyzing event sequences as it provides information about the context and potential common factors that may have influenced them. This article proposes a new similarity measure for event setting sequences, which involve the space and time in which events occur. While similarity measures for spatiotemporal event sequences have been studied, the settings and setting sequences have not yet been studied. While modeling event setting sequences we consider spatial and temporal scales to define the bounds of the setting and incorporates dynamic variables alongside static variables. Using a matrix-based representation and an extended Jaccard index we developed new similarity measures that allow for the use of all variable data types. We successfully used these similarity measures coupled with other multivariate statistical analysis approaches in a case study involving setting sequences and pollution event sequences associated with the same monitoring stations, which validate the hypothesis that more similar spatial-temporal settings or setting sequences may generate more similar events or event sequences. In conclusion, these similarity measures have many potential real-world applications, and offer researchers a powerful tool for understanding different factors and their dynamics corresponding to occurrences of spatiotemporal event sequences.
Factors Associated with Competence in Preventing Non-communicable Diseases among Community Health Workers in Japan

Published: March 2023

Background Community health workers (CHWs) drawn from the general population are an important human resource in health care systems, preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and contributing to an increase in healthy life expectancy in Japan. Thus, we have developed the COmmunity health workers perceptual and behavioral Competency Scale for preventing Non-communicable diseases (COCS-N) to measure CHWs’ competence in preventing NCDs. The purpose of this study is to examine individual and community factors affecting CHWs’ COCS-N scores. Methods Municipal public health nurses and other public health professionals are responsible for training and supporting CHWs in Japan. Therefore, the existence of CHWs and their willingness to participate in the study were confirmed with the municipalities, who were asked to distribute the self-administered questionnaire to CHWs where consent was obtained (N = 6,480). Variables used included demographic characteristics, COCS-N scores, and individual- and community-related factors. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess associations between variables. Results A total of 3,120 people completed the questionnaire, a valid response rate of 48.1%. The respondents’ mean age was 67.0 years (standard deviation = 9.0), and 88.0% were female. Comparison of the high- and low- competence groups in terms of NCD prevention based on COCS-N scores identified 13 factors associated with significant differences, including years spent working as a CHW (p < 0.001), subjective sense of health (p = 0.005), European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q47) scores (p < 0.001), and community commitment scale (CCS) scores (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that HLS-EU-Q47 scores (odds ratio [OR]: 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02–1.03) were a significant individual factor, while CCS scores (OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.11–1.16) were a significant community factor. Conclusions We found that the COCS-N score was associated with the individual factors overall health literacy (HL), perceptions of HL, and subjective sense of health, and with the community factor CCS scores. These results suggest that strengthening individual factors such as HL and subjective sense of health, and community factors such as sense of community is an effective strategy for increasing CHWs’ competence in preventing NCDs.
