Fonogramas, musicologia e performance no universo do choro
Authors: Pessoa Felipe , Freire Ricardo Dourado
Published: September 2020

A música urbana do século XX tornou-se popular a partir da divulgação realizada por meio das tecnologias de difusão, sendo que o rádio e o disco podem ser considerados importantes meios de transmissão das performances musicais. A tecnologia de gravação permitiu a fixação das realizações musicais por meio de fonogramas que então se tornam paradigmas para a recepção e aprendizagem de novos estilos musicais. As transformações na tecnologia de captação e registro dos fonogramas auxiliaram a definir a própria percepção dos objetos sonoros. O que foi gravado, no início das gravações mecânicas, tornou-se referência principal para os músicos de outras cidades e estados, que passam a tocar a partir da imitação das performances gravadas e não somente por meio de partituras ou performances ao vivo. No caso do choro, todo a construção dos acompanhamentos realizados pelos violões, cavaquinho e pandeiro sofreram influências tanto dos fonogramas quanto do rádio. A tecnologia de captação elétrica, que permitiu o registro e a transmissão dos programas musicais, aconteceu quando cantores e solistas instrumentais se apresentavam acompanhados pelos conjuntos regionais. A gravação estereofônica, desenvolvida a partir da década de 1950, possibilitou que instrumentos fossem gravados de maneira separada, e em várias tomadas, o que permitiu um maior grau de precisão e clareza musicais. A relação dialógica entre estilo de performance e tecnologia oferece subsídios para a musicologia abordar o desenvolvimento do Choro a partir das alterações que acontecem no contexto, permitindo a compreensão da relação entre artista e o meio no qual ele está inserido.

Authors: Bertoncello Andressa , Badalotti Rosana Maria , Kleba Maria Elisabeth
Published: September 2020

Este artigo analisa a atuação do Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas (MMC) no processo de construção da Política Nacional de Saúde Integral das Populações do Campo, da Floresta e das Águas (PNSIPCFA). Configura-se como um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, embasado no reconhecimento e na valorização das ações coletivas desse grupo social na área da saúde pública. As técnicas de coleta de dados consistiram na realização de observação participante, entrevista exploratória e grupo focal. A partir dos achados empíricos e com base no conceito de ação coletiva em Alberto Melucci, considera-se que as ações dos movimentos sociais influenciam a construção da política pública e a produção da realidade social, pois os resultados evidenciam o protagonismo do MMC em espaços representativos de planejamento, elaboração e avaliação de políticas públicas, como o Grupo da Terra, o observatório de acompanhamento e avaliação da referida política e os conselhos municipais de saúde. O MMC realiza ações de enfrentamento, resistência e pressão no Estado por meio de marchas, caminhadas e atos públicos, em parceria com outras organizações, em defesa da saúde pública e efetivação da PNSIPCFA. Também é protagonista no que se refere a ações de formação/capacitação junto ao Movimento para a disseminação e compreensão do conteúdo da Política.
Las dimensiones teóricas del clúster y su aplicación al turismo médico
Authors: Morgan Medina Jorge Carlos , Cuamea Velázquez Onésimo , Estrada Gaxiola Ario Refugio
Published: September 2020

Porter tiene dos versiones del concepto de clúster. En la primera versión, de 1990, afirma que, a nivel de la economía de un país, la industria es el elemento básico. Las interrelaciones claves son entre industrias, ya sean de tipo horizontal o vertical. En la segunda versión, del año 2000, sostiene que, a nivel de un área local o región, las firmas y las interrelaciones entre ellas son el elemento clave. En esta segunda versión, la ubicación geográfica y los factores socioculturales son exógenos a su generación y desarrollo. En consecuencia, las particularidades territoriales y las socio-culturales dentro del territorio no determinan los clústeres de empresas o la generación de las ventajas competitivas. La aplicación de esta metodología al turismo es una tarea reciente, incluso la investigación de este enfoque aplicada al sector de servicios, especialmente en el turismo médico, es un área nueva y, por lo tanto, poco desarrollada. De alguna manera, a este tipo de agrupaciones se les han aplicado los mismos principios que a los clústeres industriales. Una diferencia fundamental entre cualquier clúster industrial y un clúster de turismo estriba en el hecho que, en el primero, es el producto el que se desplaza fuera del lugar de producción hasta el lugar de consumo; mientras en cualquier clúster turístico sucede todo lo contrario, es decir, la demanda (el turista) es lo que debe trasladarse hacia el lugar de producción del producto turístico. Esta diferencia esencial repercute directamente en la manera de planear y gestionar un clúster de turismo médico.

A PRÁTICA DA EUTANÁSIA DIANTE DO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO BRASILEIRO: UMA ABORDAGEM A PARTIR DA TEORIA DE JUSTIÇA DE MICHAEL SANDEL
Authors: Pinheiro Marques Vinicius , Gurgel Pires Victoria Gabriela
Published: September 2020

A fim de atender ao objetivo de compreender a filosofia de Michael Sandel na perspectiva do princípio da autonomia quanto à morte digna, essa pesquisa se desenvolve sob uma ótica humanista, levando em consideração o contexto legal brasileiro, que não dispõe sobre a eutanásia, traçando um elo de ligação para com a teoria de justiça proposta por Michael Sandel, autor da obra “Justiça: o que é fazer a coisa certa”, obra fundamental para validar a questão filosófica proposta. A metodologia usada como instrumento de realização da pesquisa valeu-se da abordagem qualitativa, realizada por meio de método dialético e de caráter exploratório. O instrumento de coleta de dados utilizados foi a revisão de bibliografia específica. A discussão se inicia com a exposição de conceitos e previsão legal da eutanásia, passando para o contexto brasileiro de princípios constitucionais que estão ligados ao tema e sendo finalizado com a união entre o estudo da filosofia de Sandel com o que ocorre no Brasil quando o assunto debatido é a eutanásia. Por fim, a conclusão abordou a forma pela qual a eutanásia é um modo de preservar princípios inerentes ao homem, demonstrando por qual razão a legalização da prática é interessante para a sociedade.
A (IM)POSSIBILIDADE DO HABEAS CORPUS COLETIVO NO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Archanjo Rocha Islane , Leles Fernandes Brunna
Published: September 2020

O presente estudo tem como objeto a análise do instituto do habeas corpus na modalidade coletiva. O estudo girou em torno da possibilidade de proteção do direito à liberdade de locomoção de forma coletiva no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Muito embora o habeas corpus seja previsto na Constituição Federal e regulamentado pelo Código de Processo Penal, não há previsão em sua modalidade coletiva. Tendo em vista a sociedade atual, sendo ela caracterizada como sociedade de risco o qual se faz menção no devido trabalho, as ofensas aos direitos fundamentais são cada vez mais frequentes e atingem proporções coletivas, desse modo, é importante que haja um instrumento que seja compatível para a tutela de tais direitos. Logo, a partir dos estudos, foi possível concluir que a jurisprudência brasileira caminha em direção ao entendimento de que é cabível o referido remédio em defesa da coletividade. A temática é relevante pois demonstra que tal aplicabilidade diminuirá o percentual do encarceramento em massa de mulheres sob o pálio da prisão preventiva, uma vez aplicado o remédio na modalidade coletiva, assegurará a dignidade das mães de crianças até 12 anos, gestantes e crianças do precário e insalubre sistema prisional brasileiro.

DECISÃO SANCIONATÓRIA DE ÓRGÃO REGULADOR DO EXERCÍCIO DA PROFISSÃO E SUSPENSÃO DOS DIREITOS POLÍTICOS
Authors: Souza Marcelo José
Published: September 2020

O objetivo da reflexão aqui proposta é informar e esclarecer a implicação da decisão sancionatória de órgão regulador do exercício da profissão no pleno gozo dos direitos políticos. Muitas vezes, o próprio profissional, punido pelo respectivo órgão, desconhece o alcance e as consequências que o ato administrativo punitivo acarretará no exercício de seus direitos políticos em seu cotidiano. Deste modo, a reflexão caminha com a seguinte perspectiva: conceituação de direitos políticos; causa e período de suspensão dos direitos políticos por decisão sancionatória de órgão regulador do exercício da profissão; previsão constitucional e infraconstitucional das inelegibilidades; inelegibilidade e suspensão dos direitos políticos por decisão sancionatória do órgão profissional competente; comunicação à Justiça Eleitoral e lançamento no cadastro eleitoral; quitação eleitoral e inelegibilidade; forma de restabelecimento dos direitos políticos e considerações finais.
Analysis of the application of Insulating Vegetable Oil in electric power distribution transformers
Authors: Da Silva Jadiel Caparrós
Published: September 2020

Distribution transformers are present in large quantities in the electrical system, in addition to being essential equipment for delivering quality and reliable energy to consumers. This distribution transformers have a dielectric insulation and refrigeration system, with Insulating Mineral Oil (IMO) being the most used. However, the large-scale use of IMO entails a very high environmental risk, because in addition to its fossil origin (petroleum), it also has low biodegradability and is highly toxic and polluting to the environment. In view of this, substitution alternatives for the IMO began to be sought, where, over the years and with technological advances, Insulating Vegetable Oil (IVO) with characteristics similar to the IMO emerged, in addition to being highly biodegradable and providing an alternative sustainable development for the construction of transformers. Thus, the objective of this work is to carry out an analytical study about the characteristics and benefits of using the vegetable fluid for the equipment and for the environment, in addition to comparing the efficiency and cost parameters of IVO and IMO according to current standards. As a contribution, this paper seeks to provide a broad theoretical foundation on IVO and IMO in order to provide conceptualization to agroenergy researchers.
A Lattice Model for COVID-19 Epidemic
Authors: Gavalas George
Published: September 2020

Susceptible, infective, recovered, and hospitalized/isolated individuals are placed on the cells of a nxn square lattice, where each cell is occupied by a single individual or is vacant. At discrete time units (typically one day each) all susceptibles and infectives execute a random movement and when a coincidence of the two types occurs the susceptible is converted to infective status according to some probability. Infectives are labelled by the number of days since originally infected. At each time increment the age label of the infectives is increased by one unit. When the label reaches a number like 15 or 20 days the susceptibles recover with some probability or become isolated/hospitalized. Upon reaching some age the latter types either recover or die. Probabilities for the movements and conversions from one status to another are implemented by random numbergeneration. Simulations were carried out to investigate the effect of several probability and age parameters, the size of population (proportional to nxn) and density (related to fraction of occupied cells), and the size of the movements. Mid-term gradual conversion of susceptibles to isolated was explored as intervention policy.

Published: September 2020

Fullerene molecules are composed of carbon in forms of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube. Fullerenes have attracted considerable attention in different fields of science since their discovery in 1985. The unique carbon cage structure of fullerene provides immense scope for derivatization, rendering potential for various industrial applications. The prospective applications of fullerenes thus have led to assorted fullerene derivatives. The unique chemical structure also provides ease for fullerene to be synthesized through various kinds of conjugating techniques, where fullerene can be located either on the backbone or the branch chain. Here in this review, we have compiled the toxicity and biosafety aspects of fullerene in aquatic organisms. The frequent use of fullerene is likely to come in contact and interact with the aquatic environment and aquatic organisms. According to the current understanding, waterborne exposure to fullerene-based nanomaterials indeed triggers toxicities at cellular, organic, molecular as well as neurobehavioral levels.
Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System and a Multilayer Perceptron Model Trained with Grey Wolf Optimizer for Predicting Solar Diffuse Fraction
Authors: Claywell Randall , Laszlo Nadai , Imre Felde , Mosavi Amir
Published: September 2020

The accurate prediction of the solar Diffuse Fraction (DF), sometimes called the Diffuse Ratio, is an important topic for solar energy research. In the present study, the current state of Diffuse Irradiance research is discussed and then three robust, Machine Learning (ML) models, are examined using a large dataset (almost 8 years) of hourly readings from Almeria, Spain. The ML models used herein, are a hybrid Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), a single Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and a hybrid Multi-Layer Perceptron-Grey Wolf Optimizer (MLP-GWO). These models were evaluated for their predictive precision, using various Solar and Diffuse Fraction (DF) irradiance data, from Spain. The results were then evaluated using two frequently used evaluation criteria, the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The results showed that the MLP-GWO model, followed by the ANFIS model, provided a higher performance, in both the training and the testing procedures.
Can Parallel Lives Provide A Solution To Hardy’s Paradox?
Authors: ŞAHİN İNANÇ
Published: September 2020

Parallel lives is a model which provides an interpretation of quantum theory that is both local and realistic. This model assumes that all quantum fields are composed of point beings called ”lives”. Lives interact locally and have a memory of their previous interactions. The reduction of the state vector is not included in this model: lives can be divided into different worlds. This feature resembles many worlds interpretation. However in the parallel lives model, the division of lives into different worlds takes place locally. The parallel lives model is expected to be compatible with special relativity, as the lives propagate at a speed that does not exceed the speed of light and interact locally. On the other hand, it is open to paradoxes based on counterfactual propositions, as it provides a realistic interpretation of quantum theory. In this paper, we confront the parallel lives model with the paradox proposed by Hardy. We show that the parallel lives model cannot overcome the dilemma in Hardy’s paradox. We discuss implications of this confrontation on special theory of relativity, and speculate a solution that we believe, fits the spirit of the parallel lives model.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: The evaluation of the efficacy of topical hypotensive treatment and/or systemic corticosteroids therapy in patients with elevated intraocular pressure and Graves’ orbitopathy (GO). Methods: 172 eyes in 86 individuals with duration of GO ≥ 3 months, intraocular pressure in either eye ≥ 25.0 mmHg and GO ranked ≥ 3 at least in one eye in modified CAS form, were included. The study subjects were divided into three treatment subgroups: subgroup I was administered latanoprost QD; subgroup II was administered a combined preparation of brimonidine and timolol BID; subgroup III was the control group, not receiving any topical hypotensive treatment. All the study participants received systemic treatment – intravenous corticosteroid therapy at the same dose, according to the EUGOGO guideline Results: On the final visit, the mean IOP value was significantly lower in all treatment subgroups comparing to the initial values. In both subgroups receiving topical treatment the IOP reduction was higher than in the control group receiving systemic corticosteroids only. However, the latanoprost eye drops decreased intraocular pressure more effectively than drops containing brimonidine and timolol. Conclusion: Topical ocular hypotensive treatment is effective in reducing intraocular pressure in GO and decreases intraocular pressure more effectively than systemic corticosteroid therapy alone.
Diversity of Feeding in Anthozoa (Cnidaria): A Systematic Review
Authors: Santos Thaís Barbosa , Reimer James D. , Acuña Fabián H. , Stampar Sérgio N.
Published: September 2020

In this study, we performed a bibliographical review examining the scientific literature on “feeding in Anthozoa” theme for the period from 1890 to 2019, using scientific databases (Google Scholar) supplemented with additional literature. This study categorized published scientific papers on this topic by decade of publication, target taxa, variability of species studied in each order and main themes studied. As a result, 153 studies were found, and based on their content, it was observed that within Anthozoa, there has been a concentration of feeding studies on species in the orders Actiniaria (Hexacorallia), Scleractinia (Hexacorallia), and Alcyonacea (Octocorallia). This indicates that the other remaining orders of the group have been comparatively neglected with regards to their feeding aspects. Therefore, as data on feeding in some groups of Anthozoa are scarce, studies need to be carried out to fill the gaps that permeate this important benthic group, in order to better understand their ecology.

Published: September 2020

Conventional mechanical Fourier Transform Spectrometers (FTS) are able to simultaneously measure absorption and dispersion spectra of gas-phase samples. However, they usually need very long measurement times to achieve time-resolved spectra with a good spectral and temporal resolution. Here, we present a mid-infrared dual-comb-based FTS in an asymmetric configuration, providing broadband absorption and dispersion spectra with a spectral resolution of 5 GHz, a temporal resolution of 20 μs, and a total measurement time of a few minutes. We used the dual-comb spectrometer to monitor the reaction dynamics of methane and ethane in an electrical plasma discharge. We observed ethane/methane formation as a recombination reaction of hydrocarbon radicals in the discharge in various static and dynamic conditions. The results demonstrate a new analytical approach for measuring fast molecular absorption and dispersion changes and monitoring fast dynamics of chemical reactions, which can be interesting for chemical kinetic research and particularly for the combustion and plasma analysis community.
Contextualizing Sustainable Development Metric Standards: Imagining New Entrepreneurial Possibilities
Authors: Fisher William P.
Published: September 2020

Imagination is more important than knowledge, but if intellect does not provide the needed logical structures, capacities for envisioning new possibilities are overly constrained. The sustainability problems we face today cannot be solved with the same kind of thinking that created them, but clarity on what counts as a new kind of thinking is sorely lacking. This article proposes methodical, model-based ways of heeding Bateson's warning about the negative consequences for the ecology of mind that follow from ignoring the contexts of relationships. Informed by S. L. Star's sense of boundary objects, a sequence of increasingly complex logical types distinguishes and interconnects qualitatively different kinds of thinking in ways that liberate imaginative new possibilities for life. The economy of thought instantiated at each level of complexity is only as meaningful, useful, beautiful, ethical, and efficient as the standards informing local adaptive improvisations. Standards mediating the general and specific, global and local, universally transcendent and embodied particulars enable meaningful negotiations, agreements, and communications. Attending to the differences between levels of discourse sets up new possibilities for creative and imaginative entrepreneurial approaches to viable, feasible, and desirable goals for measuring and managing sustainable development.

Radiation Safety for Physician Assistants in the Orthopaedic Operating Room
Authors: Fisher Michael T. , Riehl John T.
Published: September 2020

In most orthopaedic operating rooms, providers are routinely exposed to ionizing radiation associated with the use of fluoroscopy. There have been several reviews addressing the amount of radiation the primary surgeon is exposed to, but to the best of our knowledge, there has not been a systematic review of the amount of radiation to which the first assistant is exposed. We conducted a systematic review of the PubMed database to find studies measuring the amount of radiation exposure to providers in the orthopaedic operating room. Ten studies were included in the review. The results showed that, generally speaking, radiation doses for the first assistant were lower than the recommended occupational exposure levels. However, the amount of radiation that the first assistant is exposed to can vary depending on several factors, including use of personal protective equipment, distance from the C‐arm, and the role that he or she takes during the surgery. Although it appears that current fluoroscopic technique, when combined with proper radiation precautions, provides appropriate safety for first assistants, additional long‐term studies would be beneficial to determine the effects of the cumulative amount of radiation exposure.

Authors: Netere Adeladlew Kassie , Ashete Eyayaw , Gebreyohannes Eyob Alemayehu , Belachew Sewunet Admasu
Published: September 2020

Background: Insulin is an effective therapeutic agent in the management of diabetes, but also sensitive to the external environment. Consequently, diabetic patients’ adherence to insulin delivery recommendations is critical for better effectiveness. Patients’ lack of knowledge, skill and irrational practices towards appropriate insulin delivery techniques may end up in therapeutic failure and increase costs of therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate patients’ knowledge, skills and practices of insulin storage and injection techniques. Methods : An interview-based cross-sectional study was conducted through purposive selection of participants in Northwest Ethiopian primary hospitals from March 1 to May 30, 2019. Levels of knowledge were assessed with right or wrong responses, while practice was measured by using a 4-point Likert scale structured questionnaire collected via face-to-face interviews. Likewise, a five-point observational (demonstration) techniques checklist employed to assess patients’ skills. Results: Among 194 patients approached, 166 participants completed the survey giving a response rate of 85.6 %. More than half of the respondents (54.8%) were males and the mean age (±SD) was 38.5±13.8 years. The overall patients’ median knowledge and practice levels on insulin storage and handling techniques were moderately adequate (64.3%) and fair (55.4%), respectively. In patients’ skill assessments, 94.6% correctly showed injection sites, 70% indicated injection site rotations, and 60.75% practiced injection site rotations. Education (P<0.001 ), duration of insulin therapy (P=0.008), and duration of diabetes (P=0.014) had significant impact on knowledge level. Education (P <0.001), occupation (P<0.001), duration of insulin therapy (P=0.001), duration of diabetes (P =0.036) and patients’ knowledge level (P<0.001) were found to have a significant effects on the patients’ practice levels. A Mann-Whitney U test also disclosed that residency, ways to get insulin and mocked injection technique during the first training had significant effects on patients’ knowledge levels. Conclusion: The current study revealed that patients had moderately adequate knowledge and fair practice levels on insulin storage and handling techniques. However, patients missed important insulin administration skills. This study highlights the need of regular public health education so as to enhance the patients’ knowledge, skill and practice levels on insulin handling techniques.

Use of sequence analysis for classifying individual antidepressant trajectories to monitor population mental health
Authors: Cherrie Mark , Curtis Sarah , Baranyi Gergő , McTaggart Stuart , Cunningham Niall , Licence Kirsty , Dibben Chris , Bambra Clare , Pearce Jamie
Published: September 2020

Background Over the past decade, antidepressant prescriptions have increased in European countries and the United States, partly due to an increase in the number of new cases of mental illness. This paper demonstrates an innovative approach to the classification of population level change in mental health status, using administrative data for a large sample of the Scottish population. We aimed to identify groups of individuals with similar patterns of change in pattern of prescribing, validate these groups by comparison with other indicators of mental illness, and characterise the population most at risk of increasing mental ill health. Methods National Health Service (NHS) prescription data were linked to the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), a 5.3% sample of the Scottish population (N=151,418). Antidepressant prescription status over the previous six months was recorded for every month for which data were available (January 2009-December 2014), and sequence dissimilarity was computed by optimal matching. Hierarchical clustering was used to create groups of participants who had similar patterns of change, with multi-level logistic regression used to understand group membership. Results Five distinct prescription pattern groups were observed, indicating: no prescriptions (76%), occasional prescriptions (10%), continuation of prior use of prescriptions (8%), new course of prescriptions started (4%) or ceased taking prescriptions (3%). Young, white, female participants, of low social grade, residing in socially deprived neighbourhoods, living alone, being separated/divorced or out of the labour force, were more likely to be in the group that started a new course of antidepressant prescriptions.Conclusions The use of sequence analysis for classifying individual antidepressant trajectories offers a novel approach for capturing population-level changes in mental health risk. By classifying individuals into groups based on their anti-depressant medication use we can better identify how over time, mental health is associated with individual risk factors and contextual factors at the local level and the macro political and economic scale.

Background: Extracurricular sport participation and exercise (ESPE) refers to regular exercise/sport participation in addition to the physical education in school among a school-aged population. Rather than general physical activity, ESPE is typically deliberately initiated and presents an efficient target for interventions. However, compared to physical activity, relatively few studies have investigated sex differences in the development of and factors associated with ESPE using a person-centered approach. This study aimed to examine the latent trajectories of ESPE from childhood to emerging adulthood across sexes, and to identify the associated sex-specific individual (i.e., body mass index, body dissatisfaction, stress, and screen behavior) and parental (i.e., parental exercise and parental screen behavior) factors.Methods: This study used data from part of the Child and Adolescent Behavior in Long-term Evolution (CABLE) project, which comprised 2,072 fourth graders (aged 9 years) in Northern Taiwan followed annually from 2001 to 2013 (13 waves). Repeated-measures latent class analysis was used to identify the trajectories of ESPE for males and females, respectively. Multinomial logistic regression was further used to identify sex-specific factors related to ESPE. Results: Four trajectories of ESPE were identified for males and females. For males, these trajectories were Rarely-to-Never (20%), Often-to-Rarely (32%), Always-to-Never (21%), and Always (27%). For females, these trajectories were Rarely-to-Never (34%), Rarely (23%), Always-to-Rarely (33%), and Always (10%). We observed that the developmental patterns of ESPE varied by sex such that there was an earlier decline in the trajectories of ESPE in females than in males and that, compared with males, fewer females maintained exercise habits in young adulthood. Furthermore, we found several sex-specific factors related to ESPE, namely, stress, BMI, and parental exercise. Body dissatisfaction and individual screen behavior were associated with trajectories of ESPE for both sexes. Conclusions: We found distinct trajectories of ESPE from childhood to emerging adulthood for both sexes. The trajectories of ESPE for males and females, however, differ in terms of patterns and associated factors. Our findings suggest that efforts to increase ESPE should be initiated early, and may be made more effective by considering sex differences.

Background: Migration flows from Eastern Europe to Italy have been large and continue to grow. The purpose of this study was to examine the health status of a population of Moldovan migrant women, and their access to health care services in northern Italy, by age group and health literacy level.Methods: We administered an ad-hoc questionnaire to adult Moldovan women. A bivariate analysis was conducted to test the association between health literacy and age groups with other variables (lifestyles, symptoms and diseases, access to health services). A stepwise logistic regression analysis was run to test the association between access to primary care and health literacy. Moreover, the study compare Moldovan women data with a sample of Italian women of the same age range living in North-Eastern region. Results: Our sample included 170 Moldovan women (aged 46.5 ± 12.3) in five occupational categories: home care workers (28.2%); cleaners (27.1%); health care workers (5.9%); other occupations (28.8%); and unemployed (10%). Active smokers were twice as prevalent among the women with a low health literacy. Health literacy level also determined access to primary healthcare services. For all age groups, the Moldovan sample reported a higher prevalence of allergies, lumbar disorders and depression than the Italian controls.Conclusions: The reported prevalence of some diseases was higher among Moldovan migrant women than among Italian resident women. Health literacy was associated with the migrant women’s lifestyle and the use of primary health care services, as previously seen for the autochthonous population.

Background: Uganda has one of the highest maternal deaths at a ratio of 336 per 100,000 live births. As Uganda strives to achieve sustainable development goals, appropriate antenatal care is key to reduction of maternal mortality. We explored women’s reported receipt of seven of the Uganda guidelines components of antenatal care, and associated factors in hard to reach Lake Victoria island fishing communities of Kalangala district.Methods: A cross sectional survey among 486 consenting women aged 15-49 years, who were pregnant at any time in the past 6 months was conducted in 6 island fishing communities of Kalangala district, Uganda, during January-May 2018. Interviewer administered questionnaires, were used to collect data on socio-demographics and receipt of seven of the Uganda guidelines components of antenatal care. Regression modeling was used to determine factors associated with receipt of all seven components. Results: Over three fifths (65.0%) had at least one ANC visit during current or most recent pregnancy. Fewer than a quarter of women who reported attending care at least four times received all seven ANC components [(23.6%), P<0.05]. Women who reported receipt of ANC from the mainland were twice as likely to have received all seven components as those who received care from islands (aOR=1.8; 95% CI:0.9-3.7). Receipt of care from a doctor was associated with thrice likelihood of receiving all components relative to ANC by a midwife or nurse (aOR=3.2; 95% CI:1.1-9.1). Conclusions: We observed that the delivery of antenatal care components per Ugandan guidelines is poor in these communities. Cost effective endeavors to improve components of antenatal care received by women are urgently needed. Task shifting some components of ANC to community health workers may improve care in these island communities.Trial Registration: PACTR201903906459874 (Retrospectively registered).

Background: Teams delivering crisis resolution services for people with dementia and their carers provide short-term interventions to prevent admission to acute care settings. There is great variation in these services across the UK. This article reports on a consensus process undertaken to devise a Best Practice Model and evaluation Tool for use with teams managing crisis in dementia. Methods: The Best Practice Model and Tool were developed over a three stage process: (i) Evidence gathering and generation of candidate standards (systematic review and scoping survey, interviews and focus groups); (ii) Prioritisation and selection of standards (consultation groups, a consensus conference and modified Delphi process); (iii) Refining and operationalising standards (consultation group and field-testing). Results: 165 candidate standards arose from the evidence gathering stage; were refined and reduced to 90 through a consultation group exercise; and then reduced to 50 during the consensus conference and weighted using a modified Delphi process. Standards were then operationalised through a clinical consultation group and field-tested with 11 crisis teams and 5 non-crisis teams. Scores ranged from 48-92/100. The median score for the crisis teams was 74.5 (range 67-92), and the median score for non-crisis teams was 60 (range 48-72).Conclusions: With further psychometric testing, this Best Practice Model and Tool will be ideal for the planning, improvement and national benchmarking of teams managing dementia crises in the future.

Background: Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is a highly contagious cattle pathogen spreading worldwide and especially in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in China. Results: Two types of ST, ST10and ST134, were identified in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Thirty-seven strains belonged to ST10 and 28 strains belonged to ST134. ST134 was a new ST and first found in 2009 and was only widely distributed in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region at present. The M. bovis ST10 was widely spread in many provinces in China and was widespread in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region since 2010. It is speculated that the prevalence of M. bovis ST10 in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region began in 2010. Conclusion: This study is the first report on the genetic diversity of M. bovis from 2009 to 2018 in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and provides the epidemiological information. These results may help further our understanding of the evolution of M. bovis and provide information that may be useful for the development of novel vaccines.
