Análisis de las Apps Covid en la Unión Europea: entre la excepcionalidad y la protección de los derechos fundamentales
Authors: De Dompablo Jediael A. , S. Velasco Sara
Published: February 2023

Los retos a los que se enfrenta la Unión Europea crean en ocasiones situaciones de tensión, en las que la organización debe responder al mismo tiempo a la protección y garantía de los derechos fundamentales de su ciudadanía, y a necesidades de índole global que excepcionalmente requieren la suspensión de esos mismos derechos por un bien mayor. Este fue el caso durante la pandemia de 2020, en el que la Unión Europea y los Estados miembros decretaron cuarentenas en contra de la libertad de movimiento, para restringir los contactos e intentar contener los contagios. En este contexto se produjo también una implementación de políticas digitales para afrontar la gestión de la crisis, en concreto nos referimos a las aplicaciones covid de rastreo y vigilancia de los contactos entre individuos.
Estas aplicaciones estaban sujetas a los requisitos y garantías del marco legislativo comunitario, que hemos visto evolucionar en los últimos dos años, para hacer frente a la creciente digitalización de los servicios públicos. El caso de las aplicaciones covid es paradigmático para observar cómo se ha producido esa adaptación. La injerencia de los estados de forma excepcional durante la crisis, pero regulada hoy en instrumentos de coordinación comunitarios, ha creado nuevos marcos de navegación en internet. Los usuarios cuentan ahora con un nuevo nivel de protección de sus datos personales y su derecho a la privacidad, que si bien venía garantizada por el Reglamento de Protección de Datos (679/2016), ha dado un importante paso adelante con la aceleración de la digitalización de la administración durante la pandemia.
Además, a través de una crítica desde la teoría contractual, podemos ver cómo la Unión Europea ha respondido a las dinámicas globales a nivel de normativa digital, priorizando hoy un sistema de contrapesos y límites tanto a las empresas como a las administraciones públicas, en su intercambio con los usuarios en internet. Las aplicaciones covid materializan esas limitaciones y garantías de protección de los usuarios (esencialmente de su privacidad y derechos fundamentales), que nos llevan a plantear la creación de un nuevo contrato social digital, igual que se ha transformado en otras ocasiones para responder a cuestiones como la clase, el género, la raza y la ecología.
Investigating the effect of particle slenderness ratio on optimizing the mechanical properties of particleboard using the response surface method
Authors: Arabi Mohammad , Haftkhani Akbar Rostampour , Pourbaba Reza
Published: March 2023

Restricted formaldehyde gas emissions and a scarcity of lignocellulosic raw materials have particleboard companies in Iran concerned about raw materials and adhesive use. The particle slenderness ratio is one of the main parameters that leads to the required mechanical characteristics of particleboard, together with the simultaneous decrease of density (raw materials) and the quantity of adhesive. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of particleboard composed of poplar particles with variables of density, adhesive quantity, and slenderness ratio using response surface technique. The variables were then optimized for the examined responses according to the EN 312-3 (1993) standard for the manufacturing of particleboard for domestic use as well as home and office furniture. Particleboard with minimum allowable properties according to EN 312-3 (MOR = 11 MPa, MOE = 1.6 GPa, and IB = 0.35 MPa) with a density of 0.65 g/cm3, adhesive percentage of 10.54, and a slenderness ratio of 37.5 can be produced, according to optimization findings. Through raising the density to 0.69 g/cm3 and the slenderness ratio to 46.99, the quantity of adhesive utilized in particleboard manufacturing could be decreased from 10.54 to 8.9% while keeping the minimum allowable resistances of EN 312-3 (1993) standard.
Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) as a way to study adsorption and adsorbed layer characteristics of hemicelluloses and other macromolecules on thin cellulose films: A Review
Authors: Dong Zijian , Liang Chen , Zhao Jinwei
Published: March 2023

Cellulose and hemicellulose are abundant renewable resources. Thus, studying the adsorption mechanism of hemicellulose adsorption onto cellulose will contribute to further understanding of the fiber network, promote the development of new materials, and improve the utilization rate of resources. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipative (QCM-D) is a research tool that can monitor quality changes at nanograms level; it is often used in the field of adsorption. Starting from the interaction between cellulose and hemicellulose, this paper outlines research on the principle, influencing factors, and kinetics of hemicellulose adsorption onto cellulose by QCM-D and expounds the research methods and means in the field of adsorption of similar biomass that can be used for reference. It provides a reference for further study of adsorption mechanism.

Successful Remote Work: What Employees’ Skills are Essential for It?
Authors: Lazauskaitė-Zabielskė Jurgita , Žiedelis Arūnas , Urbanavičiūtė Ieva
Published: March 2023

As remote work becomes a custom way of work organization, there is a need to research the factors that determine its effectiveness. Based on remote work research conducted in Europe and Lithuania, the article presents the differences between remote work and office work, based on which several employee skills are distinguished for effective remote work. First, due to longer working hours and the constant availability of electronic communication and information tools, the psychological skills of detaching from work are discussed. Second, due to the blurring of boundaries between work and personal life, the time-spatial job crafting is presented, i.e. the ability to choose a suitable place and time for work, to change the location of work, to change time or task if they do not match with each other, and to adjust work tasks to the current place and time of work, and his role in remote work. Thirdly, due to the increased autonomy to plan and perform one’s activities and the absence of factors that externally structure the work process and methods of performing tasks, the importance of self-leadership skills, which include the ability to act independently, plan one’s activities, set goals and achieve them, is highlighted. Finally, the article also presents the practical possibilities of psychological detachment from work, mastery of distance work and self-leadership development in the organization.
Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy
Authors: Goodman Jean Ricci
Published: March 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) in pregnancy imposes increased risks for the pregnant person, fetus, and infant, which includes miscarriage, congenital anomalies, accelerated fetal growth, iatrogenic prematurity, preeclampsia, delivery-related trauma, cesarean section, neonatal hypoglycemia, and respiratory distress syndrome. Preconceptual counseling for people with type 1 or type 2 DM who are contemplating pregnancy includes education about these risks, and optimization of glucose control. Fetal screening early in pregnancy in persons with type 1 or type 2 DM allows for early diagnosis and therapy optimization. In addition, screening for gestational DM in the late second trimester is routine given that such pregnancies are also affected. The overall perinatal morbidity and mortality of pregnancies complicated by DM is substantially higher than in the general obstetric population, proportionate to the level of glucose control.

Redemption of Matter
Authors: Putnam Michael
Published: March 2023

Despite her biographical proximity to figures such as Emerson and Thoreau, the nineteenth-century writer and editor Margaret Fuller is not often considered an environmentalist. Indeed, she is more often remembered for her contributions to political feminism than to environmentalism. I argue that in Fuller’s writing, however, an environmental ethics emerges in conjunction with her questioning of the binary between ‘matter’ and ‘spirit’. In place of this binary, Fuller proposed fluidity. This is evidenced in her first book, Summer on the Lakes, a literary travelogue chronicling Fuller’s journey through the West. With recourse to theoretical concerns in feminist new materialisms, I first demonstrate how her understanding of fluidity was influenced by the nineteenth-century vitalist theory of animalmagnetism. I then turn to the ways that Fuller takes her encounters with the West’s watery sites—its waterfalls, rivers, and lakes—as occasions to articulate an anticolonial environmental ethics.

Published: March 2023

Background: The COVID-19 infection played a key role in the discontinuation of patient treatment, such as allergen-specific immunotherapy, in chronic diseases.Objectives: We conducted a retrospective observational study at Verona University Hospital, Verona, Italy, to assess the level of adherence to sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in patients affected by allergic rhinitis and mild asthma.Materials and Methods: We compared and analysed data related to first prescription and collection of 5-grass-pollen 300-index of reactivity (IR) SLIT and tablet lyophilisate, containing 75,000 standardized quality tablet units (SQ-T) allergen extract of grass-pollen from Phleum pratense L, for the five-year period 2017-2021.In particular we considered the group of naïve patients from 2017 who completed pre-COVID treatment (2017-2019) and the group of naïve patients from 2019 who completed treatment during the COVID period (2019-2021). The significance test used was Student’s t-test, and P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: In the three-year period 2017-2019, 264 naïve patients began treatment in 2017, of these 181 continued in 2018, 135 continued in 2019. Instead, for the period 2017–2019, there were 226 naïve patients in 2019; of these 139 continued in 2020, and 102 in 2021.Conclusions: COVID-19 did not seem to influence adherence to SLIT, which declined independently even in during the pre-pandemic 3-year period.
The Conditions of Peasant Organisation: Fragmented Livelihoods and Social Memory in post-Independent Mozambique
Authors:   ,   Linnaeus University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Social Studies, Johansson Kajsa
Published: March 2023

The thesis is an inquiry into peasants’ collective organisation inMozambique since the country’s Independence in 1975. It brings togetherfour published studies and aims to understand the historical and socioeconomic conditions for different forms of peasant organisation in postIndependence Mozambique. An abductive approach is applied and adialogue between theory, method and the ethnographic material from thetwo northern provinces of Niassa and Nampula runs through the thesis. Thefirst study concludes that peasants’ organisation is hampered by thefragmentation, instability and unpredictability of peasants’ livelihood,leading to a low level of classness. The second study examines the strugglefor the right to land as an exception in terms of a broad-based collectiveorganisation. The third study explores how peasants’ memories of theindependence movement and first years of socialist policies are mobilisedin a critique against current policies. Finally, the fourth study examines thecontinuity of power of the traditional leadership at local level, providinginsights into the local structural conditions for peasants’ collectiveorganisation.Based on the four studies, the thesis suggests the following three mainconditions for peasants’ organisation: First, peasant household livelihood,where fragmentation, instability and unpredictability lead to difficulties toidentify central and enduring interests and conflicts peasants are engagedin, that could be the foundation for their collective organisation. Second, theorganisational structures and positions in peasant societies. In the contextof peasants, already occupied spaced for organisation, repression andhistorical backpack hamper their organisation. Peasants’ issues are capturedat local level by party, civil society and traditional leadership. Peasants arein abundance. And third, the peasants’ consciousness. The thesis concludesthat there is a relatively strong consciousness among peasants with regardto structure, inequalities, as well as formulation of thought, strong senseamong the elderly of peasant way and peasant society.

Authors: Bludova Olga A. , Chuyko Yaroslav M. , Larina Luibov E.
Published: March 2023

Background. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is one of the most frequent enzyme defects leading to hemolysis. About 2% of Russian Federation population have this pathology. This clinical case demonstrates such complication of this disease as cholelithiasis.

Clinical case description. Patient B., 17 years old, is followed up by hematologist for anemia due to glucose6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Biliary calculi were revealed in 2019. Skin and scleral icterus was noted during examination, as well as soreness in the right hypochondrium during palpation. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography has shown two calculi in the distal parts of the ductus choledochus, gallstones, dilatation of the common hepatic and cystic ducts. Complete blood count: hyperchromic megalocytic anemia. Biochemical blood test: hyperbilirubinemia (mostly direct one) after 2 days of hospitalization. Endoscopic lithoextraction from ductus choledochus was performed. Drug therapy was prescribed. Positive dynamics were mentioned at control tests. The patient was discharged in a satisfactory condition on the 10th day.

Conclusion. Adequate diagnosis and adequate management promote favorable disease outcome.

Authors: Pupysheva Anna F. , Savelyeva Ekaterina I. , Piskunova Valentina V. , Lenyushkina Anna A. , Nikitina Irina V. , Goncharuk Olga D. , Krogh-Jensen Olga A.
Published: March 2023

Background. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is severe gastrointestinal disease in newborns, its early clinical symptoms are nonspecific. Fecal сalprotectin (Cp) is considered as one of the early biomarkers of NEC, thus, its use in newborns is poorly known.

Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate clinical significance of fecal Cp measuring as an early NEC marker in newborns. Methods. The prospective cohort observational study included high-risk newborns (gestational age (GA) ˂ 33 weeks and/or body weight ˂ 1500 g) and moderate risk newborns (GV≥ 33 weeks at suspicion on NEC) of NEC admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit on the 1st day of life. The Cp level was studied via immune colorimetric method on the 3rd and 7th days of life in high-risk children and in all children at NEC manifestation. All patients were divided into 2 main subgroups after the end of the follow-up period: newborns with developed NEC (a) and children without NEC (b). Obtained Cp values were compared between these subgroups.

Results. There were no statistically significant differences in Cp levels at the 3rd and 7th days of life in the high-risk group of children with NEC and without NEC. However, it was noted that children without NEC showed a decrease in Cp levels on the 7th day, while children with NEC manifestation, indeed, had increased levels. Cp levels did not differ in the moderate risk group.

Conclusion. Single measurement of Cp level in newborns of any GA is uninformative towards the NEC prognosis and diagnosis. However, evaluation of the Cp level dynamics at the 7th day of life compared to the 3rd day of life may be considered as a promising non-invasive method for prognosis of NEC manifestation in premature infants (GA<33 weeks).

Authors: Kafarova Aleksandra I. , Smirnova Victoria A. , Sokolova Tatyana V. , Solovyeva Irina L.
Published: March 2023

Background. Atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment is based on clinical recommendations (CR, 2021). It is reasonable to use other effective treatment methods due to continuous and often relapsing course of dermatosis, and thus physiotherapy treatment is important.

Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of chromotherapy with a spectrum of 470 nm (blue spectrum) in children with AD complicated by secondary infection.

Methods. The study included 40 children aged from 2 to 12 years. All patients received standard treatment regimen according to the current CR and were divided into 2 groups, equal in number (20 patients each): the control group (CG — only traditional therapy), and the experimental group (EG — traditional therapy + blue spectrum chromotherapy (470 nm)).

Results. The SCORAD index (the sum of objective and subjective features) before treatment in the whole patient cohort was 32.5 ± 6.99 points, which corresponds to the moderate-severe form of the disease. The positive effect of therapy was registered in all patients (n = 40). Persistent process stabilization on the 7th day 7 of treatment in EG was observed in 8 patients, and in CG — in 2 (40% and 10%, respectively); p = 0.065. After the end of the treatment (10th day) persistent remission prevailed in EG and was registered in 90% (n = 18) of patients, and in CG — only in half of all patients, 55% (n = 11); p = 0.031. The evaluation of the AD severity due to the SCORAD index in patients with residual clinical manifestations clearly indicates that in EG its value corresponded to a mild disease course (p < 0.001), and in CG — the lower border of the moderate-severe and the upper border of the mild disease course (p < 0.05).

Conclusion. The use of blue spectrum chromotherapy in treatment of children with AD is the effective and accessible method that can be used as an addition to traditional treatment in cases with secondary infectious complications. Its use has a potential to exclude polypragmasy in this dermatosis treatment.
An Assessment of Indigenous Knowledge of Music Therapy in Nigeria
Authors: Aluede Charles Onomudo , Ogisi Arugha A. , Okakah Fatelyn I.
Published: March 2023

Indigenous knowledge of music as therapy as it is understood in Nigeria has to do with the acquisition of information about the application of music for healing in traditional settings. There is no doubt that the use of music to educate, rehabilitate, and bring about healing in Nigerian indigenous societies is an age-long tradition. A survey of traditional music which was carried out through questionnaire and interview methods allude to the fact that most Nigerian cultures firmly believe in the therapeutic potency of music. From the perspectives of some selected Nigerian traditional communities (Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Bini, and others) this study, therefore, reveals the various forms of manifestations of music healing traditions in different Nigerian communities. Potent as music may be in healing, if the indigenous must beget the modern, there remains a growing need to examine the indigenous understanding of music therapy. As a major aim of this study, we examined the Nigerian construct of illness; illness causation; and how Nigerian people understand music healing and its associated healing techniques. While this work reveals that music in therapy in Nigerian traditional societies has been in use over the ages, regrettably few incidences have been captured in literature. This suggests that this very important branch of music should be introduced into tertiary institutions as an academic field that should embrace cultural and clinical approaches.
Leaving the Profession
Authors: Branson Jenny L.
Published: March 2023

Published studies indicate that burnout and job satisfaction impact music therapists’ longevity in the profession in the United States. It is unclear whether these factors are related to clinical or professional factors. No studies have been published exploring the reasons that music therapists in the United States have left the profession. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to develop a theoretical framework that describes the decisions and experiences of board-certified music therapists when leaving the profession. The specific aims were to (1) identify factors that influenced therapists’ decisions to leave the profession, and (2) identify any unmet needs in training and supervision that may contribute to these decisions. Thirteen participants participated in the study. Each participant obtained board certification in the United States, worked in a music therapy job, and remain in the workforce but are no longer working in the music therapy profession. Participants completed semi-structured interviews. Interview transcripts were analyzed to understand the experiences and decisions that led to their departure from the profession. Music therapists from the U.S. who participated in this study left the profession due to: (1) availability of sustainable jobs, (2) access to professional support or supervision, and (3) burden of advocacy. These results did not vary according to individual factors such as age, level of education, or the year the therapist entered the profession. Further exploration of this theory and music therapists’ experiences may point to opportunities for changes in training and development of support programs for new as well as experienced professionals.

Authors: Kim Junghee , Kwon Jin-Hee , Lee Jung-Suk , Jeong Hyeonjin
Published: March 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the status of closed-circuit television (CCTV) installation and operation in long-term care facilities and to compare the differences in stakeholders' perceptions of CCTV mandatory installation.Methods: The participants included 743 heads of facilities, 802 care workers, and 864 family caregivers. The questionnaire included CCTV installation and operation status and perceptions on CCTV installation in long-term care facilities. For the data analysis, descriptive statistics and chi-squared tests were performed through SAS Enterprise Guide 7.1.Results: For the mandatory installation of CCTV in long-term care facilities, 96.5% of family caregivers, 83.2% of care workers, and 65.0% of heads of facilities agreed (x2=273.71, p<.001). There was no difference in opinion among the stakeholders that a living room and program room should have CCTV installed. All stakeholders agreed that the items to punish CCTV information leakage should be included in the guidelines for installation and operation of CCTV in long-term care facilities. In addition, more than 90% agreed on the preparation of confidentiality obligation for viewing CCTV in all groups. However, there were differences in opinions among stakeholders on composing the guidelines in accordance with the Child Care Act and restricting CCTV installation to the outside of bedrooms.Conclusion: This study confirms that there was a difference in stakeholders’ perceptions of mandatory CCTV installation in long-term care facilities. To increase the effectiveness of mandatory CCTV installation in long-term care facilities, it is necessary to strengthen education on human rights and safety for older adults and improve care workers’ working environment.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether empathy and resilience moderate the relationship between geriatric care-related stress and geriatric nursing practice among secondary hospital nurses.Methods: Data were collected from three secondary hospitals in J province from July 20, 2022, to August 10, 2022. Nurses with at least three months of employment were convenience sampled, and a structured questionnaire was used. A total of 218 questionnaires were included in the analysis. The collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0 software.Results: Geriatric nursing practice was significantly positively correlated with geriatric care-related stress, empathy, and resilience. Empathy moderated the effects of geriatric care-related stress on geriatric nursing practice, and this moderating effect was re-moderated by resilience (moderated moderation effect). In other words, nurses with high resilience and empathy tended to show stronger geriatric nursing practice even with elevated geriatric care-related stress. Conversely, nurses with high resilience and low empathy tended to show weaker geriatric nursing practice with increasing geriatric care-related stress.Conclusion: These results highlight the need for multilateral efforts to reduce nurses’ stress related to geriatric care and enhance their empathy and resilience, ultimately promoting geriatric nursing practice. This study has important implications for nursing practice. Specifically, it is the first to confirm a moderated moderation effect of empathy and resilience on the relationship between geriatric care-related stress and geriatric nursing practice among nurses. Subsequent studies should identify whether other factors moderate the relationship between geriatric care-related stress and geriatric nursing practice.

A GIS workflow for the identification of corridors of geomorphic river recovery across landscapes v2
Authors: Agnew Danelle
Published: March 2023

The provision of a simplified GIS workflow to analyse the Open Access NSW River Styles database provides non-technical GIS users in river management with the ability to quickly and efficiently obtain information to assist them in catchment-scale rehabilitation prioritisation. Publicly available GIS software, and a digital elevation model (DEM) were used to demonstrate the ease of analysis for those with some GIS skills, to establish where corridors of geomorphic river recovery occur or could be built at-scale. Rather than a ‘single use’ report, this novel application of GIS methods is designed to be used by those responsible for river management, replicated across landscapes and adjusted according to preferences. Decision making becomes more cost effective, and adaptive to local circumstances and changing river management priorities. The method could also be adjusted and applied to other river monitoring and condition databases. (The last step in this version contains a supplemental video with extra context and tips, as part of the protocols.io Spotlight series, featuring conversations with protocol authors.)

Abstract. This study aims to analyse the implementation of e-SAMSAT in the Province of Bali after a year and its inhibiting factors. This study uses a qualitative research method with in-depth interviews and observations as data collection techniques. The results of the study indicate that after a year of implementation, e-SAMSAT has not shown significant benefits, either in increasing vehicle tax revenues or the ease of administration. The main inhibiting factors found are that e-SAMSAT is not a full-online system, minimum socialisation of e-SAMSAT to the community, and the habit of using formal or informal intermediary services that are still more popular in society. As for recommendations, the local revenue agency in collaboration with related SAMSAT and constabulary should be able to perfect e-SAMSAT into a fully online system especially in PKB payment procedures, intensifying e-SAMSAT socialisation to the community, and increasing positive dispositions among SAMSAT service officers to support the success of program implementation.Keywords. E-Samsat, ease of administration, vehicle tax, tax reform Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi e-SAMSAT di Provinsi Bali pasca setahun berjalan serta faktor penghambatnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa wawancara mendalam dan observasi. Objek penelitian adalah Badan Pendapatan Daerah Provinsi Bali, SAMSAT Bali, dan wajib pajak kendaraan bermotor.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa e-SAMSAT belum menunjukkan manfaat signifikan, baik bagi peningkatan penerimaan PKB maupun bagi kemudahan administrasi. Faktor utama penghambat yang ditemukan adalah bahwa e-SAMSAT belum sepenuhnya full online system, masih minimnya sosialisasi e-SAMSAT kepada masyarakat, dan kebiasaan penggunaan jasa perantara formal ataupun informal yang masih lebih digemari masyarakat. Sebagai rekomendasi, untuk pencapaian tujuan inovasi e-SAMSAT yang lebih baik maka Badan Pendapatan Daerah bekerjasama dengan SAMSAT dan pihak Kepolisian terkait menyempurnakan e-SAMSAT menjadi full online system terutama dalam prosedur pembayaran PKB, lebih menggencarkan sosialisasi e-SAMSAT kepada masyarakat, dan meningkatkan disposisi positif di kalangan petugas pelayanan e-SAMSAT untuk mendukung kesuksesan implementasi program.Kata kunci. e-SAMSAT, kemudahan administrasi, Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor, reformasi perpajakan
