Published: December 2020

The aim of the study was to describe the level of satisfaction and absenteeism in the work of professionals in the Academia da Cidade Program (ACP). For this, a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a mixed approach was carried out. For data collection, a self-administered questionnaire was used for 104 professionals of the Program in Recife, Pernambuco. For the analysis of the quantitative data, the software SPSS v.10.0 was used, the results were shown in absolute and relative frequencies. Content analysis was carried out for the open questions about job satisfaction. The professionals stated that they were satisfied with the work, both from the point of view of the management of the Program (66.3%), and in a global manner (63.5%). The link with the users, the performance in health promotion and the teamwork were the aspects that most positively influenced job satisfaction and, conversely, the physical and material structure, the municipal macro management and the salary were those that contributed to the dissatisfaction of the professionals. Absenteeism due to sick leave (66.3%) was the main reason for the withdrawal of professionals from work, and the support of the worker’s health specialized team from the municipal health department was not perceived. It can be said that the professionals were satisfied with the work in the ACP, but the working conditions, the remuneration and the valorization from the management are aspects that must be improved. It is also necessary to take care of the provider, since absenteeism due to medical causes, withdrew almost half of the professionals in the period studied.
Partial Benders Decomposition: General Methodology and Application to Stochastic Network Design
Authors: Crainic Teodor Gabriel , Hewitt Mike , Maggioni Francesca , Rei Walter
Published: December 2020

Benders decomposition is a broadly used exact solution method for stochastic programs, which has been increasingly applied to solve transportation and logistics planning problems under uncertainty. However, this strategy comes with important drawbacks, such as a weak master problem following the relaxation step that confines the dual cuts to the scenario subproblems. In this paper, we propose a partial Benders decomposition methodology, based on the idea of including explicit information from the scenario subproblems in the master. To investigate the benefits of this methodology, we apply it to solve a general class of two-stage stochastic multicommodity network design models. Specifically, we solve the challenging variant of the model where both the demands and the arc capacities are stochastic. Through an extensive experimental campaign, we clearly show that the proposed methodology yields significant benefits in computational efficiency, solution quality, and stability of the solution process.

Prevalence of neurocognitive impairment and its associated factors among patients with HIV in Indonesia
Authors: Lindayani Linlin , Sudrajat Diwa Agus , Melnawati Chanti , Anggarini Dian
Published: December 2020

Background:

Patients with HIV are susceptable to developing HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). However, few studies have explored the prevalence of neurocognitive impairment and its associated factors among patients with HIV in Indonesia.

Aims:

This study aimed to explore the prevalence of neurocognitive impairment in patients with HIV in Indonesia.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with HIV in West Java, Indonesia. Patients were eligible for study participation if they were HIV-positive and were aged over 20 years. The International HIV Dementia Scale (IHDS) was used to measure probable HIV–related dementia. Descriptive categorisations and statistics, using mean scores, standard deviation (SD) calculations or frequency rates, were applied to participant characteristics and major variables.

Findings:

There were a total 150 participants in this study. The mean age was 38.09 years (SD=3.99); 74% were male; 80.7% were high school graduates. The mean of CD4 counts was 493.3 (SD=139.8), and all participants had been living with HIV for more than 9 years (SD=3.84). The mean of total scores using the IHDS was 10.2 (SD=1.58), and 49.30% of patients with HIV were reported to have cognitive impairment. There was an increased prevalence of cognitive impairment among males with a higher BMI and higher systolic blood pressure

Conclusions:

Nearly half of patients with HIV in Indonesia are at high risk of cognitive impairment, as measured by IHSD. Health professionals caring for patients with HIV may consider routine neurocognitive impairment screenings during clinical visits to address this risk.
A review of telephone clinic letters for patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and arteriovenous malformations
Authors: Wood Helen , Cluckie Gillian , Corns Jennifer , Hickin Jan
Published: December 2020

Background:

This review investigated the role of neurovascular clinical nurse specialists in telephone clinics following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and arteriovenous malformations (AVM).

Aims:

To review telephone clinic letters to assess frequency of support provided.

Methods:

Clinic letters for all neurovascular clinical nurse specialist telephone clinics from July 2016–June 2018 were reviewed using a locally developed standardised template.

Findings:

Some 133 telephone clinic letters were included. The most common theme was clinical advice for SAH complications: fatigue (n=63) and headache (n=60). Psychological support was the second most common theme: emotional issues (n=41) and short–term memory concerns (n=41). Information was most frequently provided on lifestyle (n=61).

Conclusions:

The role of the neurovascular clinical nurse specialist following SAH and AVM involves clinical advice on complications. Psychological support after SAH and AVM is required for almost two–thirds of patients, which is significantly higher than previous studies. While a single site audit, this study indicates the important role in supporting psychological care that clinical nurse specialists have in a neurovascular service.

Elementary Teachers’ Responsiveness to Supporting Students’ Engineering Design Feedback
Authors: Radloff Jeffrey , Capobianco Brenda M.
Published: December 2020

Using engineering design to teach science requires teachers to engage in noticing, interpreting, and responding to students’ needs in real-time. While research has begun to focus on how elementary teachers do so, less is known about how teachers instructionally support and optimize students’ ideas through engineering design feedback. In this study we investigate what instructional moves two elementary teachers’ employ to leverage students’ ideas and reasoning and create opportunities for students to exchange design feedback. Data were gathered using classroom observations of teachers’ implementations of a design task focused on sound and energy transformation. Observations were coded for teachers’ use of high-leverage practices, and event maps were created to chronicle teachers’ implementation of the task from start to finish. Event maps were analyzed and compared for discrete instructional activities and modes of classroom organization that supported opportunities for feedback. Findings suggested that while teachers used similar instructional moves, how and when they created opportunities for student design feedback differed, resulting in diverse ways of assessing and supporting students’ understandings. Implications suggest design feedback as both a purposeful and naturally present phenomenon throughout the design process, reflective of the nature of engineering design.
La muerte le sienta bien a Gabriel Miró: El sepulturero (1910)
Authors: Manso Christian
Published: December 2020

Gabriel Miró con «El Sepulturero» (1910) opta deliberadamente por una escritura que lo sitúa en la corriente del humorismo negro que pronto van a celebrar los mismos surrealistas. Le asigna a la Literatura una misión de ludismo, lo que, sin embargo, no le quita su poder de crítica sarcástica de lo coercitivo que resalta de la sociedad española de la época.

Authors: Ali Fawwaz Fadhil , AL-Taee Shahbaa Khalil , AL-Jumaa Zahraa Mustafa
Published: December 2020

Background and Aim: Saprolegniasis is a fungal disease that infects freshwater fish. The condition is characterized by a cotton-like appearance in the gills and body. This study aimed to isolate Saprolegnia from common carp, Cyprinus carpio, raised in a floating cage in Wana district, Mosul, Iraq.

Materials and Methods: Samples were collected from 15 infected fish and examined microbiologically, molecularly, and histopathologically. Saprolegnia DNA was extracted which was amplified using universal primers give a 540 bp DNA fragment, and gill and muscle tissue were also examined for histopathological changes.

Results: Isolated colonies of Saprolegnia were characterized by a circular, white cottony appearance with long hair. Lactophenol staining demonstrated hyphae as branched non-septate, transparent masses. The genomic DNA of isolates was consistent with Saprolegnia spp. The infected tissue samples showed variable pathology in gills. Severe hemorrhage and edema were observed in primary gill filaments with hyperplasia in epithelial cells and infusion in secondary gill filaments. Hyphae of Saprolegnia were seen between necrotic and edematous myofiber with inflammatory cells infiltration.

Conclusion: Saprolegnia can cause economic impacts through lethal infection of fish. Clinical signs of Saprolegnia infection were confirmed molecularly and microscopically, and these findings were supported by histopathological lesions in gill and muscle tissues.

Authors: Lisnahan Charles V. , Nahak Oktovianus R.
Published: December 2020

Background and Aim: The amino acid content of feed can affect growth performance of poultry during the first 6 weeks of life or the starter phase. Unlike for broiler and layer chickens, there is no information concerning standard requirements for tryptophan and threonine during the starter phase. This study aimed to determine the amount of threonine and tryptophan that should be supplemented in chicken feed to maximize growth performance and small intestinal morphology of native chickens during the starter phase. Materials and Methods: A total of 128 day-old native chickens were divided into four treatment groups with four replications based on a completely randomized design. The treatment diets were as follows: T0 (control feed); T1 (T0+0.10% L-tryptophan+0.35% L-threonine); T2 (T0+0.17% L-tryptophan+0.68% L-threonine); and T3 (T0+0.25% L-tryptophan+1.00% L-threonine). Results: The feed intake was highest for the T2 and T3 groups (123.06 and 124.18 g/bird/week, respectively). The T3 group had the highest body weight gain (49.35 g/bird/week) and carcass weight (201.44 g/bird) relative to the other groups, while the T2 and T3 groups showed similar, significant (p<0.05) increases in feed conversion ratio (2.57 and 2.51, respectively) and carcass percentage (60.88 and 60.99%/bird, respectively) compared to the other groups. This study showed villi height, crypt depth, and villi width of duodenum, the highest jejunum and ileum of T3 (1109.00±27.26, 1325.50±75.00, 1229.50±101.68, 225.50±17.52, 236.00±24.81, 219.75±17.25, 192.25±14.41, 191.75±4.79, and 184.75±6.40, respectively) compare to other treatment. Conclusion: These results indicate that supplementation of feed with 0.17% L-tryptophan and 0.68% L-threonine positively affected the growth performance and small intestinal morphology of native chickens during the starter phase.

Effect of Alprazolam and Ketamine on Seizures Induced by Two Different Convulsants
Authors: Herink Josef
Published: December 2020

Effect of two anticonvulsants with different mechanism of action, i.e. alprazolam and ketamine, was tested in two types of seizure activity. The first one was induced by N-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-propoxyphenylethyl)-aziridine, the second one by pentylenetetrazol. While alprazolam alleviated both the minimal as well as major paroxysms, ketamine supressed only major seizures. These effects are discussed in terms of the both N-methyl-D-aspartate and GABA receptors involvement.

Authors: Harrer Jan , Brtko Miroslav , Žáček Pavel , Knap Ján
Published: December 2020

Massive bleeding into pleural cavity after subclavian vein cannulation is a rather rare but very serious complication. Usually laceration of the venous wall is the cause. In patients where conservative treatment, i.e. pleural drainage, maintaining the circulatory volume, treatment of possible coagulopathy, etc. is ineffective, surgery has to be performed. Bleeding can be surgically managed either from posterolateral thoracotomy or direct subclavian vessel revision is possible after partial resection of the clavicle. Brachiocephalic vein bleeding can be approached and managed through median sternotomy. We present a case report of 22-year old man with hemothorax after subclavian vein cannulation. In our patient only complex surgical procedure enabled proper management of bleeding complication.

Authors: Lo Vecchio Andrea , Pierri Luca , Poeta Marco , Vassallo Edoardo , Varelli Marco , Montella Emma , Guarino Alfredo , Bruzzese Eugenia
Published: December 2020

OBJECTIVES:

The paucity of symptoms and the difficulties in wearing personal protective equipment make children a potential source of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection for health care workers (HCWs). Previous experience in pediatric settings reported high rate of intrahospital SARS-CoV-2 transmission in HCWs caring for children. We aimed at investigating the rate and determinants of SARS-CoV-2 infection among HCWs working in a regional reference center in the Southern Italy.

METHODS:

A prospective observational study was conducted to monitor the occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 infections among HCWs and investigate the relation between the infection rate and hours of exposure or number and characteristics of procedures, including nasopharyngeal swab, high-flow oxygen delivery, suctioning of airway secretions, sputum induction, and nebulizer administration.

RESULTS:

After 5 months of monitoring, 425.6 hours of SARS-CoV-2 exposure (18.5 hours per person), and 920 hospital procedures, no case of nosocomial transmission was reported among the 23 HCWs enrolled in the study.

CONCLUSIONS:

The application of stringent preventive measures, also outside the area dedicated to patients’ care, can effectively control infection spreading also in pediatric settings.
Liturgia e literatura
Authors: Cardita Ângelo
Published: December 2020

Liturgia e literatura podem confluir em volta da importância que o texto ou, mais concretamente, o livro, assume, tanto no âmbito religioso como no âmbito cultural e estético. Uma certa ritualidade é pressuposta e ativada pela literatura, da mesma forma que a liturgia se relaciona com a Bíblia como seu contexto privilegiado de enunciação crente. Assim, depois de uma entrada teológica no mundo da literatura com o objetivo de determinar as possibilidades de uma teologia literária colocando em evidência a dinâmica e a importância cultural e religiosa da mediação do texto, este estudo concentra-se na comparação entre a ritualização literária e a ritualização litúrgica do ato de leitura.

Os inimigos de Baal e Anat
Authors: Monteiro de Matos Sue'Hellen
Published: December 2020

Certas culturas da Antiguidade possuem, na base da sua cosmogonia, o conceito de ‘caos’: a desordem primordial, que a divindade organiza, dando origem ao ‘cosmos’, a ordem. Os textos da Bíblica Hebraica apresentam a ordenação do caos por YHWH, os quais partilham do imaginário cosmogônico de outras culturas, tais como mesopotâmica e ugarítica. Isto posto, o presente artigo objetiva discutir sobre o caos na mitologia ugarítica, especificamente no Ciclo de Baal e Anat, bem como analisar as ressonâncias deste imaginário nos textos da Bíblia Hebraica, agora, atribuindo a YHWH os feitos de Baal.

The paper presents a descriptive model, applicable in agricultural theory and practice, for determining the quantity of alfalfa hay obtained from a land surface, using remote investigations, by geospatial methods and means. The working algorithm was tested in a rural area located in the northern part of Romania, in the Humor Depression, and the data acquisition was made with DJI Phantom 4 Pro - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle equipment. For the automated calculation of the amount of alfalfa hay harvested from a certain surface and stored as haystacks, the following steps were carried out: processing the images acquired with the drone to obtain the point clouds, determining the 3D model of the haystacks, calculating the volume of hay stored in the stacks and converting the volume in quantity of hay/surface. As a result of the measurements and calculations carried out, a quantity of hay of 11.96 tons/ha was obtained, data verified and validated by the researches from the specialized literature. Compared with the agronomic methods, the use of the geomatics techniques, to determine the quantity of hay harvested from an agricultural area, presents a series of practical and economic advantages: they exclude the manual measurements in the field and, therefore, the displacements on extended surfaces; reduce the working time; have high precision because, for the estimation of the haystacks volume, three-dimensional models are used, instead of the traditional mathematical formulas. At the same time, geospatial data is acquired through drone flying, which can be used in other types of analysis. The working algorithm can also be applied to other studied objectives or research topics.
THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF SUSTAINABILITY OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN SOME RURAL AREAS IN CHAHARMAHAL AND BAKHTIARI PROVINCE, IRAN
Authors: Davoodi Elahe , Shirvani Shahin
Published: December 2020

Sustainability of agricultural and farm production systems is an important issue, particularly in countries which heavily rely on this economic sector. Actually, so many methods have been proposed to assess the sustainability of such agricultural systems from various viewpoints. Nonetheless, limited attention has been paid to find the important key factors in agricultural sustainability in Iran. Although researchers often recognize ecological factors as the main element affecting sustainability, but also the other factors play an important role in the sustainability of an agricultural and farming system, instead. This study proposes a method to analyze the determinants of sustainable crop production, and applies it to wheat cultivation in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran.

Located in southwestern Maranhão, the Parque Nacional da Chapada das Mesas (PNCM), with an extent of about 160,046 ha, is completely inserted in the Cerrado phytogeographic domain. The topography is characterized by a plateau formation consisting of steep hills and medium-altitude mountains with flat tops, which give the PNCM its name. We present an annotated checklist of the mosses that occur in the PNCM. Our checklist includes 26 species of pleurocarpous mosses distributed in 10 families and 22 genera and two species of cladocarpous mosses of the family Orthotrichaceae. The most species-rich families of pleurocarpous mosses were Sematophyllaceae (7 spp.), Pylaisiadelphaceae (6 spp.), and Stereophyllaceae (4 spp.). Eleven species are recorded for the first time from Maranhão and three species are recorded for the first time in the northeast region of Brazil. Taxithelium pluripunctatum (Renauld & Cardot) W.R. Buck and Trichosteleum glaziovii (Hampe) W.R. Buck, are recorded for the first time from Maranhão and the Cerrado phytogeographic domain. Our results expand the knowledge of the Brazilian bryoflora and add distribution data for a number of species in Maranhão and the northeast region.

The application of volumetric strip-slot transition for the implementationof wireless devices with contactless frequency-selective transmission of microwave signals is relevant. This is due to the compactness of volumetric strip-slot transition achieved by the multilayer arrangement of its functional parts and of its electrical frequency-selective characteristics. At the same time the volumetric-modular design allows the replacement of its individual components which provides high functional flexibility of the device. Reducing of weight and dimensions of the volumetric strip-slot transition while maintaining its electrical characteristics is possible due to well-known methods used in microwave technology: 1) using of substrates with a high value of the relative permittivity, 2) due to the transition to higher frequency ranges. The authors of this paper present the third method for reducing of weight and dimensions of the volumetric stripslot transition by using a U-shaped slot resonator. The development of the equivalent circuit of the volumetric strip-slot transition and calculation of all its lumped elements are also presented. The values of such lumped elements as linear capacitance of the strip line, linear inductance of the strip line, characteristic impedance of the slot transmission line were determined. The value of the inductive inhomogeneity occurred when the slot resonator bends by 90 degrees was calculated and its S-parameters in the frequency range were simulated. Numerical electrodynamics simulation was performed to confirm the validity of the results of circuit simulation. Then the experiment research of the sample of the volumetric strip-slot transition with the U-shaped slot resonator was carried out. The theoretical and experimental results of the conducted researches of volumetric strip-slot transition with the U-shaped slot resonator are in good qualitative and numerical agreement with each other. The use of the U-shaped slot resonator provides an opportunity to achieve a 36% reduction of weight and dimensions parameters of the volumetric stripslot transition while maintaining its electrical characteristics.

Normas contables NIIF y la valoración del riesgo de las empresas colombianas
Authors: Botello-Peñaloza Héctor
Published: December 2020

Objetivo: El propósito fundamental de este artículo fue estudiar el impacto que tiene la implementación de las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF) en la valoración del riesgo de las empresas. Método: Para lo anterior, se calculó el modelo de valoración de activos financieros (CAPM) a 18 mil empresas en Colombia antes y después del 2015, año de la implementación de las NIIF en este país. Resultados y discusión: Como hallazgo principal se encontró que el coste del capital se incrementa un 4% después de la aplicación de las normas NIIF, aunque el peso del riesgo financiero en el riesgo total no  cambió por causa de la adopción de las nuevas normas contables, sin embargo, las empresas dedicadas a los sectores relacionados con materias primas, actividades inmobiliarias y recursos naturales mostraron una mayor sensibilidad al rendimiento del mercado, mientras que las empresas de la industria manufacturera presentaron una correlación negativa con el mercado. Conclusión: Finamente, se infiere que las NIIF contribuyen a la mejor valoración del riesgo del capital de las empresas al descontar mejor la capacidad de las firmas de generar flujos de cajas y utilidades para hacer frente a las deudas.

Цель: анализ ситуации с выполнением приоритетных национальных проектов и причин неудовлетворительного положения в этом процессе на данном этапе. Предложения по методологии разработки и реализации крупномасштабных хозяйственных проектов. Обсуждение: работа посвящена краткому исследованию сложившейся на стадии реализации приоритетных национальных проектов ситуации – уровню исполнения запланированных расходов (а следовательно, степени достижения целей, поставленных перед ними) за 2019 и 2020 гг., а также представлению некоторых оценочных прогнозов влияния их исполнения на общеэкономические индикаторы, такие как экономический рост, доходы населения и некоторые другие. Причины неблагоприятного на данный момент положения по исполнению расходов лежат в области недостатков в методологическом обеспечении процесса поддержки, в частности, создании действенных механизмов заинтересованности потенциальных и желательных участников проектов со стороны, дающих им определенные преференции. Этот механизм нужно иметь до момента начала работы по проектам. Правда, после развала СССР это крупнейший общегосударственный проект, и опыта реализации работы таких масштабов не было. Однако в плане методологии подхода к разработке крупномасштабных проектов в нашей стране опыт и задел, безусловно, полезный имеется. Речь идет о работе, проведенной в конце восьмидесятых – начале девяностых годов. В 1990-1991 гг. ЦЭМИ РАН (тогда – ЦЭМИ АН СССР) выполнял роль головного института в разработке и обосновании методологических принципов выбора приоритетных направлений (ПННТП) и механизмов их реализации как одной из форм осуществления государственной политики в области управления научно-техническим развитием. Результаты: тот методический задел, который был создан в 90-х и не использован, не потерял актуальности. С момента разработки последней КП НТП И НП НТП прошло около 30 лет. Думается, что прежде чем намечать проведение крупных хозяйственных мероприятий, пора бы снова осуществить фундаментальную, масштабную инвентаризацию состояния и всего экономического потенциала, сложившегося к настоящему моменту с использованием методологических разработок тех лет. Юридической базой может явиться закон о стратегическом планировании от 28.06.2014 г.

Published: December 2020

Цель: выявить особенности управления командами, реализующими социальные проекты в условиях ограничений личного общения, вызванных мерами по противодействию распространению коронавирусной инфекции. Обсуждение: на протяжении довольно длительного периода распространения коронавирусной инфекции и связанных с нею мер, ограничивающих личное общение, актуализировалась проблема расширения сферы использования онлайн-проектов. Практика показала, что вынужденные ограничения использования традиционных офлайн-форматов работы команд требуют особых подходов к управлению ими. Онлайн-форматы не являются прямой заменой традиционных способов работы. Это особый способ работы, требующий иных способов формирования, обучения и работы команд, реализующих социальные проекты. Особенно это относится к работе команд с детьми. Результаты: в работе проанализирован опыт создания и работы команд в рамках деятельности сводного студенческого педагогического отряда «Лидер Времени», осуществлявшего в 2020 году онлайн-проект «Home Camp» для детей летнего лагеря. Выявлены проблемы в формировании контингента детского лагеря, команды вожатых и игротехников; предложены меры по достижению совместимости участников, повышению эффективности деятельности, сохранению работоспособности участников.
