Published: December 2021

Giriş: SARS-CoV-2 salgını ile mücadelede başrole sahip sağlık çalışanları hem fiziksel hem de ruhsal olarak risk altındadır. Salgın hastalıkla ilgili korku ve kaygı taşıyan sağlık çalışanları hastalığı yayma endişesiyle birlikte yaşadıkları kişileri korumak amacıyla misafirhane ve otellerde konaklamayı tercih etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Samsun’da misafirhane ve otellerde konaklayan sağlık çalışanlarının salgın hastalıkla mücadele sürecinde kaygı düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çevrimiçi yöntemle dağıtılan anket formu, demografik özellikler, SARS-CoV-2 salgını ile ilgili bilgi, düşünce ve kaygı düzeyleri hakkında sorular ve Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeğinden (HAD) oluşmaktadır. Bulgular: Toplam 167 sağlık çalışanından 66’sında (%39,5) anksiyete, 119 sağlık çalışanında ise (%71,2) depresyon bulguları görülmüştür. Demografik veriler içinden yaş, ölçeğin anksiyete ve depresyon alt boyutu ile (p<0,001); meslek grubu (p=0,027), çalışma yılı (p=0,013), çocuk sayısı (p=0,03) ise depresyon alt boyutu ile anlamlı ilişki göstermiştir. Regresyon analizinde sağlık çalışanlarının haberlere olan ilgilerinin artması (p=0,016), işe gitmekte zorlanma durumu (p=0,003), koruyucu ekipmanları kullanma zorluğu (p<0,001), COVID-19 hastalığının kendisine (p=0,003), çocuklarına ve evde birlikte yaşadığı kişilere bulaşmasından korkma durumu (p=0,008) anksiyete ve depresyon alt boyutlarını anlamlı derecede etkileyen bağımsız değişkenler olarak görülmüştür. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 salgınına bağlı olarak iş yükü ve sorumluluğun artması, hastalığı taşıma ve birlikte yaşadıkları insanlara bulaştırma gibi nedenlerle yaşadıkları korku, kaygı ve endişeleri artmaktadır. Sağlık çalışanları için ruhsal yönden koruyucu müdahalelerin geliştirilmesi hem sağlık çalışanlarının ruhsal iyilik hallerinin sağlanması hem de pandemi ile mücadelede başarı için çok önemlidir.

Identifying Insomnia From Social Media Posts: Psycholinguistic Analyses of User Tweets
Authors: Sakib Ahmed Shahriar , Mukta Md Saddam Hossain , Huda Fariha Rowshan , Islam A K M Najmul , Islam Tohedul , Ali Mohammed Eunus
Published: December 2021

Background

Many people suffer from insomnia, a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling and staying asleep during the night. As social media have become a ubiquitous platform to share users’ thoughts, opinions, activities, and preferences with their friends and acquaintances, the shared content across these platforms can be used to diagnose different health problems, including insomnia. Only a few recent studies have examined the prediction of insomnia from Twitter data, and we found research gaps in predicting insomnia from word usage patterns and correlations between users’ insomnia and their Big 5 personality traits as derived from social media interactions.

Objective

The purpose of this study is to build an insomnia prediction model from users’ psycholinguistic patterns, including the elements of word usage, semantics, and their Big 5 personality traits as derived from tweets.

Methods

In this paper, we exploited both psycholinguistic and personality traits derived from tweets to identify insomnia patients. First, we built psycholinguistic profiles of the users from their word choices and the semantic relationships between the words of their tweets. We then determined the relationship between a users’ personality traits and insomnia. Finally, we built a double-weighted ensemble classification model to predict insomnia from both psycholinguistic and personality traits as derived from user tweets.

Results

Our classification model showed strong prediction potential (78.8%) to predict insomnia from tweets. As insomniacs are generally ill-tempered and feel more stress and mental exhaustion, we observed significant correlations of certain word usage patterns among them. They tend to use negative words (eg, “no,” “not,” “never”). Some people frequently use swear words (eg, “damn,” “piss,” “fuck”) with strong temperament. They also use anxious (eg, “worried,” “fearful,” “nervous”) and sad (eg, “crying,” “grief,” “sad”) words in their tweets. We also found that the users with high neuroticism and conscientiousness scores for the Big 5 personality traits likely have strong correlations with insomnia. Additionally, we observed that users with high conscientiousness scores have strong correlations with insomnia patterns, while negative correlation between extraversion and insomnia was also found.

Conclusions

Our model can help predict insomnia from users’ social media interactions. Thus, incorporating our model into a software system can help family members detect insomnia problems in individuals before they become worse. The software system can also help doctors to diagnose possible insomnia in patients.
Geosocial Networking App Use Associated With Sexual Risk Behavior and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men: Cross-sectional Web-Based Survey (Preprint)
Authors: Gibson Laurel P , Kramer Emily B , Bryan Angela D
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

In the United States, geosocial networking (GSN) apps (ie, mobile dating apps) have become central to dating and sexual interactions in recent years. Among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM), these apps play an important role in reducing barriers and facilitating partner seeking. However, despite these benefits, there are concerns that these apps may facilitate risky sexual behavior and transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among GBM.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to examine the association between GSN app use and sexual risk in a US sample of GBM.

METHODS

Using a cross-sectional design, respondents (N=223) completed a web-based survey assessing their use of GSN apps, sexual risk and protective behaviors, HIV serostatus, and previous STI diagnoses.

RESULTS

Respondents were aged 21-78 (mean 31.90, SD 10.06) years and 69.5% (155/223) were non-Hispanic White. The sample included respondents from 40 states and the District of Columbia. Nearly half (104/223, 47%) of the participants reported using GSN apps. GSN users were more likely to report past-year condomless anal intercourse (P<.001), 3 or more sexual partners in the previous year (P<.001), and a previous STI diagnosis (P=.001) than nonusers. GSN users also reported more frequent use of recreational drugs before sex (P=.001), alcohol use before sex (P<.001), and cannabis use before sex (P=.01). Interestingly, GSN users were also more likely to report having ever taken an HIV test (P<.001) and using pre-exposure prophylaxis (P=.03). The rates of HIV seropositivity did not differ significantly between GSN users and nonusers (P=.53). Among the subset of GSN users, 38 participants reported using only GBM-specific GSN apps (eg, Grindr), whereas 27 participants reported using only sexuality nonspecific GSN apps (eg, Tinder). Exclusive users of GBM–specific apps reported more frequent recreational drug use before sex (P=.01) and were also more likely to report past-year condomless anal intercourse (P<.001), 3 or more sexual partners in the previous year (P=.004), a previous STI diagnosis (P=.002), and HIV testing (P=.003). Alcohol use before sex, cannabis use before sex, pre-exposure prophylaxis use, and HIV rates were similar between both groups (P>.11).

CONCLUSIONS

The findings suggest that GSN apps may be a useful pathway for interventions aimed at reducing STI risk in GBM. Future prospective studies should examine how risk levels change after the initiation of GSN app use.

Post-modern society or late modernity, concentrate on decisive consciousness and is anxious about the destructive belongings of practical science on nature, environment and humanity.
El Desfalco del siglo. La pérdida del socorro a Huancavelica de 1661 y su proceso judicial
Authors: Jiménez Jiménez Ismael
Published: December 2021

The balance between the economic agents of Huancavelica was going through a delicate situation at the beginning of 1660. To help the quicksilver miners, the viceroy count of Santisteban sent them a large subsidy of 232,000 pesos, but the person in charge of its management, the corregidor, Tomás Berjón de Caviedes, did not know how to distribute it as expected. The money was lost in an intricate maze of miners, merchants and Crown employees and it took almost two decades to figure out what had happened. Meanwhile, the investigations launched were convoluted to the point of exonerating those responsible. In the following pages you will be able to read how this relief was embezzled, how the financial operations were concealed and how the investigations and judgments of the Consejo de Indias could barely compensate the damage that said loss caused to the economy of Huancavelica.

Brain Tumor Assortment into High Level and Low Level Gliomas
Authors: Pandey Sanjeet
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Brain is recognized as one of the complex organ of the human body. Abnormal formation of cells may affect the normal functioning of the brain. These abnormal cells may belong to category of benign cells resulting in low grade glioma or malignant cells resulting in high grade glioma. The treatment plans vary according to grade of glioma detected. This results in need of precise glioma grading. As per World Health Organization, biopsy is considered to be gold standard in glioma grading. Biopsy is an invasive procedure which may contains sampling errors. Biopsy may also contain subjectivity errors. This motivated the clinician to look for other methods which may overcome the limitations of biopsy reports. Machine learning and deep learning approaches using MRI is considered to be most promising alternative approach reported by scientist in literature. The presented work were based on the concept of AdaBoost approach which is an ensemble learning approach. The developed model was optimized w.r.t to two hyper parameters i.e. no. of estimators and learning rate keeping the base model fixed. The decision tree was used as a base model. The proposed developed model was trained and validated on BraTS 2018 dataset. The developed optimized model achieves reasonable accuracy in carrying out classification task i.e. high grade glioma vs. low grade glioma. Keywords: High grade glioma, low grade glioma, AdaBoost, Texture Features,

Stimulation of University Technological Entrepreneurship: Experience of Portugal and Estonia
Authors: Kurakov F. А.
Published: December 2021

An analysis of foreign experience convincingly shows that the level of science intensity of national products is directly related to the country’s position in international rankings of the productivity of university ecosystems. With a share of 0.4% in the global number of start-ups, Russia is inferior not only to developed countries but also to the BRICS countries. As of 2020, only 37 start-ups per million population are being created in the Russian Federation, while Switzerland has 1791. At the same time, in the jurisdiction of Russia, out of the total number founded in 2010–2019 start-ups remained no more than 36%. The strategies allow universities to create successful technological innovation ecosystems in the cultural, economic, and socio-political environment, which cannot be characterized as favorable for academic entrepreneurship. The analysis of factors stimulating the development of start-up ecosystems in Estonia and Portugal, including simplified residency programs for founders of foreign start-ups; ease of registration, business and taxation system; presence in the country of representative offices of large international companies and the creation of technological hubs for them, a developed system of national incubators and accelerators, including those financed by the state; safety, low cost of housing and living and comfortable living environment.
Taxation of Grants in the Russian Federation
Authors: Kanakova A. E., , Szpoper D.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to find out the peculiarities of grant taxation in Russia, depending on the subject composition of persons, implementing or attracted to the implementation of the grant. The article uses the following methods of scientific knowledge: analysis and synthesis, through which the provisions on grant taxation were first divided into constituent features and subsequently combined to formulate a position on the stated issue, also used the method of mental experiment, which allows to consider different options of taxation of persons involved in the implementation of grants. The result of this article was an indication of the absence or existence of an obligation to pay taxes on the grant for different entities: organizations and individuals as grant recipients and as entities involved in the implementation of the grant project. The decision to pay tax depends not only on which entity is the recipient of the grant, but also on which entity provides the grant. The existing approach to the solution of the considered question is characterized by complexity, biased differentiation criterion and requires correction.
Training Farmers or Educating Citizens?

Published: December 2021

Jørgen Delman’s Ph.D. thesis “Agricultural Extension in Renshou County, China” (1991) was the result of his return to academia in the late 1980s after he worked for three years at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN in China. It is a detailed study of the complex rural bureaucracy promoting agricultural innovation and change and reflects a deep understanding of how things worked on the ground in those relatively early years of market-oriented rural reforms. It also contributes to a larger story of how ‘modern’ knowledge over the last century has been transmitted and negotiated between China’s urban centers and its countless rural communities. This vignette offers some thoughts on this larger topic.

Crystal fields induced compensation temperatures in a decorated square lattice
Authors: MOHAMAD HADEY
Published: December 2021

A two-sublattice decorated Blume-Capel ferrimagnet has been investigated
using the mean field theory. Interesting behaviors of long-range order
are obtained depending on particular magnitudes of magnetocrystalline
anisotropies for both sublattices sites. Distinguishable features have
been discovered in two-dimensional decorated lattice consisting of
spin-5/2 and decorating spin-7/2 ions on the bonds. It is found the
present system shows two ferrimagnetic compensation temperatures.
However, one compensation temperature for different or fixed values of
decorated magnetic anisotropies with the values of J1=-0.5 , J2=-1.0 ,
or with J1=-1.0 , J2=-0.5, has been induced, respectively. The
magnetization behavior in the (M,DB/IJ2I) space has not already been
considered showing the crystalline anisotropy dependence of total
magnetization remanences. Besides, the variations of net magnetizations
versus the decorated crystal fields, i.e., in the(M,DA/IJ2I) space, have
been done, with J1=-0.5, J2=-1.0 , for various values of T=2.0, 2.5,3.0
, respectively.

On being a space invader and the thing around my neck
Authors: Abrahams Naasiha
Published: December 2021

This article presents itself as an autoethnographic reflection on my positionality as a veiled, South African Muslim of Cape Malay descent and lower middle class background, attempting to navigate access to white educational space, as part of my doctoral research in Flemish primary schools. I explore what it means to be racialized as ‘other’ whilst also assuming a position of ‘authority’ as researcher, and occupying a particular space (positioned as neutral and secular) as a ‘body out of place’ (Puwar, 2004), in which a symmetry can be seen between myself and those categorised as ‘other’. The aim of this article is to reflect on how this occurs through certain processes, namely: (in)visibilisation; reprimanding; compartmentalisation; and, interpellation. I also reflect on the body of the anthropologist and the idea of the ‘objective researcher’ in order to illuminate how the mechanisms of racialization work. I engage the ensuing psychological burden brought about by the encounter with the ‘white gaze’ (Fanon, 2008). As a complement to the autoethnography, I make use of literary fiction as a method of analysis, in order to highlight the way in which literature can stimulate the formation of analytical insights (see Craith & Kockel, 2014) and, I draw on film.
Glitching the University Machine
Authors: Hammana Zouhair , Klinkert Victoria Louisa
Published: December 2021

In this piece we explore how to return anthropological study to common use by way of Hilal and Petti’s (2019) use of al masha - a cultivation and reactivation of the commons. In doing so we recognise that our point of departure is one of colonial permanence, as anthropological study is tied to the discipline and its colonial disciplining, which in turn is tied to the University Machine and its infrastructure. In enacting colonial permanence and holding up its decolonial facade it is the sociality of the infrastructure that we have chosen to focus on. We argue that it is in moments of refusal to engage and challenge infrastructural failures of the University Machine, that we find a fugitive poetic potential to glitch (Berlant, 2016; Luchkiw, 2016; Russell, 2020) anthropological study to common use.
Animal Farm as a Heuristic Tool for Classroom Teaching of Social Movements
Authors: Tiwari Sweta
Published: December 2021

Social movements are a part of the curriculum of Anthropology and Sociology in higher education institutions in India. Traditionally, these courses are taught via snippets of social movements accompanied by theoretical texts and there is little scope for individual teachers to change course content. While these texts are valuable, I found students struggled to make initial engagement with many of the prescribed texts and often became tense or anxious about the material. Students viewed social movements with antipathy and as a hindrance to stability, influenced by the political narratives and media representation of social movements as a disruption to solidarity. They often struggled to connect to the themes and issues of the Social Movement course, positioned within their own prisms of religion, caste, class, gender, and political sympathies. In this article, I vindicate the use of Animal Farm by George Orwell as a heuristic tool, taught alongside standard texts, to help students grasp the nature of social movements in theory and praxis. Teaching and learning social movements require a certain amount of empathy and openness to untangle students from their own biases. Turning to fiction can help because students can connect and become invested in the story, after which point parallels to the academic texts or real-life social movements can be drawn. Set in the animal world, Animal Farm is a parable that is equidistant to human orientations and consequently makes an excellent starting point to distance students from their preconceived ideas. This in turn helps students develop a reflexive understanding from which to engage with the core texts.
Animal welfare assessment in Slovenian conventional and alternative pig production systems
Authors: Golinar-Oven Irena , Plut Jan , Stukelj Marina
Published: December 2021

The aims of the study were to assess the welfare of pigs in Slovenian farms
based on the international Welfare Quality? Assessment protocol for pigs and
to gain a first insight into the welfare of pigs in Slovenian conventional
and alternative farms. Pig welfare in Slovenia was assessed using the
Welfare Quality? protocol on 10 alternative and 10 conventional farms. The
size of the farm ranged from 11 to 1900 breeding sows in conventional farms
and from three to 50 breeding sows in alternative farms. Using the protocol,
the welfare of breeding sows, suckling piglets, growers, and fattening pigs
was evaluated. The protocol consisted of four main principles of animal
welfare (good feeding, good housing, good health, and appropriate
behaviour), which were subdivided into 12 independent criteria. To evaluate
each of these criteria, a set of measures was used. Overall animal welfare
quality was calculated with a mathematical model incorporated into the
protocol. Depending on the scores of the four principles, farms were
classified as excellent, enhanced, acceptable or not classified. According
to the Welfare Quality? protocol and statistical calculation, growers and
fatteners in Slovenian conventional farms were rated as acceptable, while
Slovenian alternative farms were rated as enhanced. We can conclude that the
welfare of the growers and fatteners in our alternative farms is at a higher
level than in conventional farms. The most critical evaluation points in
sows were bursitis, wounds on the body, stereotypies, and fear of humans.

Authors: Chung David D. , Ghanouni Sepand
Published: December 2021

Objectives

To evaluate the frequency of abnormal progression that could ultimately affect the reliability of the skeletal maturity index (SMI) and the cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) method that are most commonly used analyses for skeletal age assessment.

Materials and Methods

A retrospective design was used to compare 299 hand-wrist radiographs with 299 lateral skull radiographs regarding the number of abnormalities in the proposed sequence of maturation in the SMI and CVM methods.

Results

A significantly greater number of abnormalities occurred in the sequence of CVM progression compared with SMI (P < .001). Sex and age did not have an effect.

Conclusions

Skeletal age assessment based on SMI is more accurate than CVM regarding the progressive sequence of stages.

Upaniṣads e a noção de ignorância (avidyā) segundo Śaṅkarācārya
Authors: Loundo Dilip
Published: December 2021

A postulação dos Upaniṣads do Absoluto Brahman, fundamento ontológico não dual e radicalmente uno, coloca em xeque o status pretensamente substancial da multiplicidade característica do universo empírico (jagat), suspenso na dualidade sujeito-objeto. Como poderia o Uno e Único aparecer como múltiplo, (pretensamente) impregnado da essencialidade do primeiro? É com o intuito de esclarecer esse ponto fundamental que os Upaniṣads introduzem a noção de avidyā ou ignorância. Um dos conceitos heurísticos de maior eficácia epistêmico-soteriológica da história da filosofia indiana, a noção de ignorância é esmiuçada de forma notável em todas as obras comentariais do filósofo da escola Advaita Vedānta Śaṅkarācārya (séc. VIII).

Authors: Silva Suellen Cordovil da , Tavares Enéias Farias
Published: December 2021

O objetivo deste artigo, que entrecruza narrativa gráfica com simbologia esotérica na análise da série em quadrinhos Promethea, é discutir como Alan Moore e J. H. Williams III interpretam a composição do tarô. Para tanto, analisaremos Promethea 12 contrastando com os baralhos mais conhecidos e utilizados no ocidente: Marseille e Waite. Se entendermos teologia como o estudo das diferentes práticas religiosas e espirituais do Ocidente, Promethea resulta em uma exploração tanto do potencial espiritual do mito como da criação artística/imaginativa.

A presente pesquisa realizou uma análise que buscou abordar elementos relacionados à religiosidade enquanto um aspecto relevante para se pensar as juventudes atuais. Por meio da interpretação e cruzamento de dados quantitativos coletados em uma pesquisa exploratória quantitativa, aplicada em colégios estaduais de Londrina e região com estudantes, buscou-se apreender se essas juventudes constituem ou articulam questões e aspectos como a cidadania e política, à sua formação religiosa, e também a presença destes elementos no espaço escolar. Pela inferência dos dados em diálogo com o referencial teórico, apreendeu-se a possibilidade de suas perspectivas articularem elementos religiosos a aspectos relacionados à política e cidadania, bem como a aceitação da presença desses elementos em aspectos que envolvem tanto o âmbito privado e como o público, a exemplo da escola, apreendida como um espaço no qual se desenvolvem debates sobre religião, política e cidadania, e que possibilita o convívio entre diferentes identidades religiosas, podendo potencializar seus diálogos.
