Published: December 2022

The division and identification of lithology and lithofacies are very important in exploration and development of oil and gas reservoirs. Information on lithofacies determines the development modes and provides the favorable “sweet spot” intervals of shales. The Chang 7-3 submember of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Longdong area of the Ordos Basin is an important shale formation in China. Core photos, cast thin sections, and log response characteristics were used to clarify the development and distribution characteristics of the various lithofacies in this formation. The lithofacies of target intervals are classified into fine-grained sandy debrite, silty to fine-grained sandy turbidite, fine-grained sandy slump, semideep to deep lacustrine mudstone, and deep lacustrine shale. Furthermore, the conventional and microresistivity imaging log response characteristics of different lithofacies are analyzed. Compared with other lithofacies, deep lacustrine shale facies are characterized by high gamma ray (GR), high compensated neutron log (CNL), high acoustic log (AC), and low-density (DEN) log values. Crossplots of GR-AC, DEN-CNL, and DEN-AC are proposed to identify most of the lithofacies, and a criterion was established for use of well logs to characterize the lithofacies. Finally, a method joining conventional logs and microresistivity imaging log data was applied to field wells, achieving the very high accuracy rate of 88%. The distribution maps of different lithofacies thickness in the study area are obtained. Deep lacustrine shale facies have the widest development area and many thickness centers. Accurate and effective identification of lithofacies indicates that within the Ordos Basin, there is an area of approximately 20,000 km2 with shale thickness of greater than 6 m, providing an important basis for shale oil exploration in the study area.
Through the Pages of Children's Magazines of the late XIX - XX Centuries
Authors: Miheeva L. , Dzhichonaya M.
Published: December 2022

The article highlights the traditions of spiritual, moral and patriotic education of young readers, laid down in periodicals for children, which were founded by figures of Russian science and culture and were published at the end of the 19th century. The publication of the magazine "Igrushechka" continued in the Soviet era, and then the new Russian realities of the 90s. 20th century were embodied in a children's magazine called "Novaya Igrushechka", which at that time was being worked on by Moscow writers and artists. The authors of the article, thus, convincingly prove the undoubted benefit and importance of preserving the traditions of children's magazine periodicals, which, in an entertaining and accessible form for children, allows them to get involved in reading, instill respect for the history and national values of Russia, and form citizens and patriots of their country in the younger generation.
Działalność polsko-rosyjskiej komisji granicznej w latach 1780–1781
Authors: Zielińska Ewa
Published: December 2022

Nasilająca się ze strony Rosji presja osadnicza na południową granicę Rzeczypospolitej, a wraz z nią próby zajęcia kompleksów leśnych należących do Ksawerego i Michała Lubomirskich celem wykorzystania ich jako źródło surowca do rozbudowy Chersonia, wywołały konflikt trwający od połowy 1778 r. Jego kulminacją było zajęcie lasu Nerubaj w marcu 1780 r. Dopiero wówczas Katarzyna II, która zgodziła się na powołanie komisji delimitacyjnej już w 1779 r., nominowała rosyjskich komisarzy i mogło dojść do rozpoczęcia prac wspólnej polsko-rosyjskiej komisji, zakończonych podpisaniem aktu rozgraniczenia w styczniu 1781 r.
Dwadzieścia lat później. Datacja „urbarza cieszyńskiego z 1621 r.”

Urbarz cieszyńskiego klucza dóbr książęcych, funkcjonujący w literaturze jako „urbarz cieszyński z 1621 r.”, nie zachował się w oryginale, ale jedynie w odpisie z 1653 r. W urbarzu został odnotowany Adam Matloch, który nabył grunt w Marklowicach w 1644 r., co każe postawić pytanie, czy zawarte tam dane oddają stan z 1621 r. Szczegółowa analiza odsłania złożoność informacji zamieszczonych w tym urbarzu, a także metodę pracy nad sporządzaniem odpisów tego rodzaju źródeł – gdzie uwzględniano aktualizacje i pomijano fragmenty skreślone. Okazuje się, że wbrew utartej nazwie urbarz stanowi kompilację zapisów z lat 1621–1643, a większość wpisów oddaje stan z ok. 1640 r.

La presencia de Emmanuel Bove en España en la primera mitad del siglo XX.
Authors: Macho Vargas Azucena
Published: December 2022

Emmanuel Bove (1898-1945) es uno de esos escritores que tras décadas de olvido son recuperados para convertirse en autores de culto. El artículo presenta brevemente las fases de ese redescubrimiento en Francia para centrarse en las primeras referencias que de él se tuvieron en España. El interés que en los años veinte y treinta del siglo XX había en España por la literatura extranjera explica su presencia en la prensa española y las primeras traducciones de su obra. Por otra parte, este hecho demuestra que además de ser un autor respetado en Francia su obra llegó a tener eco internacional. Así mismo, las notas críticas de sus coetáneos que aparecen en la prensa española realizan una aproximación a sus primeras novelas que se confirma tanto por sus obras posteriores como por la crítica de finales de siglo.
Disruption and Rerouting in Supply Chain Networks
Authors: Birge John R. , Capponi Agostino , Chen Peng-Chu
Published: December 2022

The recent coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has shown that shortages and supply chain disruptions can have catastrophic effects on the real economy. These observations bring about reflections and first-order questions. How can we design supply chain networks that are robust and resilient to demand and supply shocks? Can we quantify the indirect effects caused by buyers’ and suppliers’ defaults in the network? Is it always cost effective to steer the system toward higher buyers’ and suppliers’ diversification? In the paper “Disruption and Rerouting in Supply Chain Networks,” Birge et al. argue that in highly capitalized networks, diversifying demand and supply across a larger number of counterparties may result in a more fragile network. Single-sourcing strategies are optimal for a firm only if the firm’s supplier default probability is low, but they perform worse than multiple-sourcing strategies otherwise.
Guidance on Applied Pressure Heads for Quantifying Cohesive Soil Erodibility with a Jet Erosion Test (JET)
Authors: Fox Garey A. , Guertault Lucie , Castro-Bolinaga Celso , Swanson Alexis
Published: December 2022

Highlights

Jet erosion test (JET) is a commonly used instrument for quantifying soil erodibility.

Uncertainty remains on an appropriate applied pressure head to ensure high-quality JET data.

Numerical analysis was used to derive minimum and maximum heads for four soil classifications.

Ideal applied pressure heads depend on soil erodibility parameters and user-selected JET characteristics.

Abstract. The Jet Erosion Test (JET) is one of the few instruments available for measuring cohesive soil erodibility in situ, but uncertainty remains regarding an appropriate initial applied pressure head for the test. Users typically iterate on an initial applied pressure head setting when testing soil. This iteration is necessary to ensure a reasonable erosion rate and the total amount of scour while imposing applied shear stresses that match the expected application range when using JET-derived erodibility parameters. This research used a numerical analysis of simulated JETs to determine both minimum and maximum applied pressure heads, ensuring a logistically appropriate estimation of soil erodibility parameters. First, the minimum head was set to generate at least 25 mm of scour, established based on data from previous in situ JETs. Second, the maximum applied pressure head was set to ensure that no excessively large initial applied shear stress impacted the estimation of erodibility parameters from a linear regression on erosion rates. Analyses were conducted for four selected soil erodibility classes: highly erodible, more erodible, erodible, and moderately resistant soils. Curves showing the ideal applied pressure ranges were generated for initial time intervals of scour depth measurements of 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, and 360 s and dimensionless initial nozzle heights of 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50. The appropriate range in the applied pressure head depended not only on the soil erodibility classes but also on the initial time interval for scour depth measurements, total test duration, and dimensionless initial nozzle height above the soil surface. Users should ensure that a minimum applied pressure head is exceeded for resistant soils. Maximum applied pressure heads should be considered for erodible, more erodible, and highly erodible soils, dependent on the initial time interval for scour depth measurements and dimensionless initial nozzle heights. Wider ranges of acceptable applied pressure heads were observed with smaller initial time intervals. The procedure presented in this research can be readily adapted by JET users to reflect specific testing conditions (e.g., different data collection intervals and test durations) for ensuring the a priori use of effective pressure head settings. Keywords: Cohesive soils, Erodibility, Jet erosion test, Pressure head, Soil erodibility.

Cleaning up of high-energy ultrashort pulses with saturable absorbers
Authors: Sui Qinglin , Ou Shangming , Guo Liang , Zhang Nan , Liu Huanhuan , Zhang Qingmao , Shum Perry Ping
Published: December 2022

Pulse energy transferred from the peak to wings is inevitable in the process of ultrashort optical pulse amplification due to the accumulation of high nonlinearity, which degrades the temporal pulse quality. The energy-related saturable absorbers are applied to remove the wings of high-energy pulses without causing a severe loss of the peak in this research. A cascaded-saturable-absorbers system is proposed, and the effects of the cascaded order, low-intensity loss coefficient, saturable fluence, relaxation time and input fluence distribution on the pulse wings are numerically investigated, respectively. The obtained results can provide a general guidance of design for high-energy ultrashort pulse cleaning.

Authors: Comia Isac Rodrigues , Miambo Regina Daniel , Noormahomed Emília Virgínia , Mahoche Manuel , Pondja Alberto , Schooley Robert Turner , Benson Constance , Sacarlal Jahit
Published: December 2022

Background

Leptospirosis is an occupational, neglected febrile disease of bacterial origin transmitted between humans and animals. In this manuscript we summarize available data onLeptospirainfection in HIV uninfected and in people living with HIV from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, identifying gaps in knowledge and recommend future research priorities.

Methodology

Articles published between 1990 and 2021 were accessed by an online search of Google Scholar and Medline/PubMed performed between February 2020 and July 2022. The STATA program was used for the Meta-analysis. Pooled prevalence values with 95% confidence intervals and heterogeneity were determined.

Results

Thirty studies from eight SADC countries, reporting the prevalence onLeptospirawere reviewed. A pooled prevalence of 19% (CI: 13–25%), a heterogeneity level of 96% and index score ranging from 2 to 9 was determined. Only four (4) studies reported HIV co-infection status. Three species ofLeptospira(Leptospira interrogans(4),L.kirschneri(3),Leptospira borgpetersenii(1) and 23 serogroups were identified. The most frequently reported serogroups were Icterohaemorrhagiae (13), Grippotyphosa and Australis (10) followed by Sejroe (8).

Conclusion

Studies on human leptospirosis in the SADC region are scarce, especially in people living with HIV. Additional studies aimed at determining the prevalence and the role of the pathogen in people living with HIV, including detailed clinical, molecular and demographic data are recommended.
Comparing antigenaemia- and microfilaraemia as criteria for stopping decisions in lymphatic filariasis elimination programmes in Africa

Published: December 2022

Background

Mass drug administration (MDA) is the main strategy towards lymphatic filariasis (LF) elimination. Progress is monitored by assessing microfilaraemia (Mf) or circulating filarial antigenaemia (CFA) prevalence, the latter being more practical for field surveys. The current criterion for stopping MDA requires <2% CFA prevalence in 6- to 7-year olds, but this criterion is not evidence-based. We used mathematical modelling to investigate the validity of different thresholds regarding testing method and age group for African MDA programmes using ivermectin plus albendazole.

Methodolgy/Principal findings

We verified that our model captures observed patterns in Mf and CFA prevalence during annual MDA, assuming that CFA tests are positive if at least one adult worm is present. We then assessed how well elimination can be predicted from CFA prevalence in 6-7-year-old children or from Mf or CFA prevalence in the 5+ or 15+ population, and determined safe (>95% positive predictive value) thresholds for stopping MDA. The model captured trends in Mf and CFA prevalences reasonably well. Elimination cannot be predicted with sufficient certainty from CFA prevalence in 6-7-year olds. Resurgence may still occur if all children are antigen-negative, irrespective of the number tested. Mf-based criteria also show unfavourable results (PPV <95% or unpractically low threshold). CFA prevalences in the 5+ or 15+ population are the best predictors, and post-MDA threshold values for stopping MDA can be as high as 10% for 15+. These thresholds are robust for various alternative assumptions regarding baseline endemicity, biological parameters and sampling strategies.

Conclusions/Significance

For African areas with moderate to high pre-treatment Mf prevalence that have had 6 or more rounds of annual ivermectin/albendazole MDA with adequate coverage, we recommend to adopt a CFA threshold prevalence of 10% in adults (15+) for stopping MDA. This could be combined with Mf testing of CFA positives to ensure absence of a significant Mf reservoir for transmission.

Rabies is one of the most important zoonotic diseases that mostly affect children. We conducted a rabies education among 129 secondary school children (intervention group = 94 students, control group = 35 students) in two schools in southeast Bhutan and evaluated the effectiveness of the lesson by comparing the knowledge, perception and safety behaviour score about rabies before and after education. We also assessed the knowledge retention capacity of the students at three months post intervention. Our findings indicated that short rabies lesson significantly (P<0.001) improved the mean knowledge score from 19.98(±2.72) to 26.96(±2.24) in the intervention group. Similarly, mean scores for perception and safety behaviour improved significantly (P<0.001) from 10.77 (±1.89) to 13.95 (±1.36) and 9.809 (±1.85) to 12.97 (±1.54), respectively. Although the scores have reduced significantly (P<0.001) at three months post intervention, most of the rabies information was largely retained by the students. In control group, significant increase in mean scores were also observed for perception from 10.17 (±2.38) to 11.2 (±2.44) and safety behaviour from 9.14(±1.44) to 10.74 (±1.95) after 3 months of education. The finding demonstrate that a short rabies lesson is effective in improving knowledge, perceptions and understanding of dog bites safety behaviour among the school children. However, there is a need for a frequent awareness program, at least quarterly or half yearly. Rabies education should focus on critical points such as dog bites being the main source of rabies and the importance washing a dog/animal bite wound with soap and water, and visiting the hospital for medical advice following animal bites.

High-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) cause almost all cervical cancers and a significant number of vaginal, vulvar, penile, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV16 and 18 are the most prevalent types among HR-HPVs and together cause more than 70% of all cervical cancers. Low vaccination rate and lack of molecularly-targeted therapeutics for primary therapy have led to a slow reduction in cervical cancer incidence and high mortality rate. Hence, creating new models of HPV-induced cancer that can facilitate understanding of the disease mechanism and identification of key cellular targets of HPV oncogenes are important for development of new interventions. Here in this study, we used the tissue-specific expression technique, Gal4-UAS, to establish the first Drosophila model of HPV16-induced cancer. Using this technique, we expressed HPV16 oncogenes E5, E6, E7 and the human E3 ligase (hUBE3A) specifically in the epithelia of Drosophila eye, which allows simple phenotype scoring without affecting the viability of the organism. We found that, as in human cells, hUBE3A is essential for cellular abnormalities caused by HPV16 oncogenes in flies. Several proteins targeted for degradation by HPV16 oncoproteins in human cells were also reduced in the Drosophila epithelial cells. Cell polarity and adhesion were compromised, resulting in impaired epithelial integrity. Cells did not differentiate to the specific cell types of ommatidia, but instead were transformed into neuron-like cells. These cells extended axon-like structures to connect to each other and exhibited malignant behavior, migrating away to distant sites. Our findings suggest that given the high conservation of genes and signaling pathways between humans and flies, the Drosophila model of HPV16- induced cancer could serve as an excellent model for understanding the disease mechanism and discovery of novel molecularly-targeted therapeutics.
Exploration of college teachers’ psychological adaptation to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic using potential profile analysis
Authors: Zou Weixing , Ding Xiangmei , Wang Hongli
Published: December 2022

The present study used a person-centered approach to examine college teachers’ psychological adaptation to online teaching and its relationship with demographic variables. A total of 2104 college teachers were surveyed using the Psychological Adaption to Online Teaching Scale between March 25 and March 31, 2020. Data were analyzed using latent profile analysis, chi-square test, and multinomial logistic regression analysis. Based on their psychological adaptation during online teaching immediately after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, college teachers were divided into three latent profiles: common, maladaptive, and positive. Among these, the common type accounted for the largest proportion (56.1%), while the maladaptive type accounted for the smallest (10.9%). There were significant differences in the distribution of psychological adaptation latent types in college teachers with different educational backgrounds and professional titles. A better educational background and higher professional title is closely related with college teachers’ psychological adaptation to online teaching.
Do media events still unite the host nation’s citizens? The case of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
Authors: Sakaki Takeshi , Kobayashi Tetsuro , Yoshida Mitsuo , Toriumi Fujio
Published: December 2022

The Olympic Games are a typical media event and are seen as a festive occasion that monopolizes people’s attention through the mass media. The Games and their media coverage have a predetermined schedule that enhances the nation’s sense of unity by placing a temporary truce on political conflicts. Governments, especially those of Olympic host countries, tend to take advantage of this effect to garner support for their own policies. However, the effects of such media events may be weakening owing to changes in the media environment and increasing political polarization. Examining the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, this case study analyzes a large amount of Twitter data to probe Japanese social media users’ attitudes toward the Olympic Games and the relationship of these attitudinal changes with their attitudes toward the political leadership of the prime minister. The results showed that previously negative attitudes toward the Olympic Games improved as people enjoyed the event. However, this positive shift did not appear to be associated with their attitudes toward the prime minister. Users’ political predispositions strongly determined their attitudes toward the Olympic Games, indicating that the Olympic Games as a media event had limited implications for support for the administration.
The Bland-Altman method should not be used when one of the two measurement methods has negligible measurement errors
Authors: Taffé Patrick , Zuppinger Claire , Burger Gerrit Marwin , Nusslé Semira Gonseth
Published: December 2022

Background

The Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LoA) method is almost universally used to compare two measurement methods when the outcome is continuous, despite warnings regarding the often-violated strong underlying statistical assumptions. In settings where only a single measurement per individual has been performed and one of the two measurement methods is exempt (or almost) from any measurement error, the LoA method provides biased results, whereas this is not the case for linear regression.

Methods

Thus, our goal is to explain why this happens and illustrate the advantage of linear regression in this particular setting. For our illustration, we used two data sets: a sample of simulated data, where the truth is known, and data from a validation study on the accuracy of a smartphone image-based dietary intake assessment tool.

Results

Our results show that when one of the two measurement methods is exempt (or almost) from any measurement errors, the LoA method should not be used as it provides biased results. In contrast, linear regression of the differences on the precise method was unbiased.

Conclusions

The LoA method should be abandoned in favor of linear regression when one of the two measurement methods is exempt (or almost) from measurement errors.

Yellow fever virus (YFV) is the agent of the most severe mosquito-borne disease in the tropics. Recently, Brazil suffered major YFV outbreaks with a high fatality rate affecting areas where the virus has not been reported for decades, consisting of urban areas where a large number of unvaccinated people live. We developed a machine learning framework combining three different algorithms (XGBoost, random forest and regularized logistic regression) to analyze YFV genomic sequences. This method was applied to 56 YFV sequences from human infections and 27 from non-human primate (NHPs) infections to investigate the presence of genetic signatures possibly related to disease severity (in human related sequences) and differences in PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values (in NHP related sequences). Our analyses reveal four non-synonymous single nucleotide variations (SNVs) on sequences from human infections, in proteins NS3 (E614D), NS4a (I69V), NS5 (R727G, V643A) and six non-synonymous SNVs on NHP sequences, in proteins E (L385F), NS1 (A171V), NS3 (I184V) and NS5 (N11S, I374V, E641D). We performed comparative protein structural analysis on these SNVs, describing possible impacts on protein function. Despite the fact that the dataset is limited in size and that this study does not consider virus-host interactions, our work highlights the use of machine learning as a versatile and fast initial approach to genomic data exploration.
Joyful singing in parks
Authors: Zhang Jun
Published: December 2022

This article draws on Bayat’s discussions of the “quiet encroachment” and “social nonmovement” to explore the intertwined relationships between mundane lives, public culture, and spatial orders. It takes the collective singing practices in public parks in the city of Guangzhou in South China as a case study, and at the center of analysis are senior urban residents who have experienced double marginalization under the new political economy and the new spatial order in public spaces. I show that collective singing in parks, which is a cultivated practice acting upon a body’s habitus shaped by the political culture, has contributed to rebuild the social life of the senior citizens after layoffs. While such an embodied practice has been re-appropriated by the government and officials to capitalize on the authority of political culture to further their ends, such re-appropriation also empowers the choral participants to pursue happiness in their familiar ways and legitimize their claims on public spaces that are increasingly coded with a middle-class civility. I argue that the analytical lens offered by “social nonmovement” helps shift attention from agency to action. By focusing on how effects of state-orchestrated governing strategies have been made complicated by ordinary people’s “quiet encroachment”, this article shows that the exercise and effects of power shall be analyzed as a dynamic process with a spatial and temporal dimension. The exploration of the layers of social, political and visceral experiences between individual citizens and the social-political space can effectively help us diagnose how power works and morphs.
Entoemos o canto de guerra contra uma realidade neofascista

O governo neofascista Bolsonaro vem desenvolvendo políticas ultraneoliberais com contrarreformas trabalhistas e administrativas (expropriação dos servidores públicos) e políticas econômicas genocidas à classe trabalhadora. Esse cenário está em consonância com o contexto da crise sanitária, econômica, ecológica e política na totalidade da crise do capitalismo. Argumenta-se pela importância de a classe trabalhadora reagir contra os desmandos do capital, que no Brasil vem ganhando força com o projeto neofascista de Bolsonaro. Para tanto, sugere-se a constituição de uma Frente Única dos Trabalhadores para lutar contra esse perverso contexto e, também, ressalta-se a importância de a classe trabalhadora impulsionar a teoria revolucionária e a constante formação crítica. Desse modo, destaque é atribuído ao lançamento de um espaço fundamental para assegurar o pensamento crítico revolucionário marxista por meio da revista Crítica Revolucionária.

Authors: Sgoifo Annalisa , Raffaella Marazzi Maria , Laura Susani Emanuela , Saraceno Lorenzo , Esposito Maria Grazia , Campagna Concetta , Agostoni Elio , Protti Alessandra
Published: December 2022

Background
SARS-CoV-2 pandemic represented an unexpected psychological stress, being a major threat to health and limiting daily’s life, especially for the fragile population. How could the people with (pw) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) cope with this emergency?

Objective
To observe the pwMS’s psychological reaction in comparison with non affected persons and to evaluate the impact of lifestyle changes on psychological symptoms, due to the pandemic.

Methods
The study was observational, retrospective, controlled, focused on good clinical practice and conducted at Niguarda Hospital. PwMS and controls filled a web survey containing anamnestic data, habits, depression and anxiety self-questionnaires. The primary outcome was the pwMS’s psychological anxiety and depression score compared with controls.

Results
On April, 10 2020, 88/165 pwMS and 187 controls joined the study. Unexpectedly, no significant differences between groups were observed for depression mean score: 6.6(5.2) in pwMS and 6.2(4.8) in controls and for anxiety: 5.9(4.8) and 5.0(4.2). PwMS focused on health concern more often than controls, but they respected the restrictions more easily and benefited from practical activities more than controls.

Conclusion
PwMS showed a proper psychological resilience in comparison with controls. These findings might guide the clinical interviews and suggest both the areas to be supported and the strengths to be promoted in pwMS.
Osteoarthritis Depression Impacts and Possible Solutions Among Older Adults: Year 2021-2022 in Review
Authors: Marks Ray
Published: December 2022

Background
Osteoarthritis, a serious joint disease, said to represent a generally declining state of wellbeing and function among many older adults has been shown to be affected to a considerable degree by various negative beliefs and inactions rather than degradation alone.

Aim
This review examines the case of depression as this pertains to the older adult with osteoarthritis of one or more joints. Specifically, the most up to date information on this topic was sought, as care improvements over the past decade have not shown any impactful population wide results.

Method
Reviewed were relevant 2021-2022 research and review articles specifically pertaining to what is being observed currently by researchers as far as osteoarthritis-depression linkages goes, as these may reveal opportunities for more profound research, and practice-based endeavors.

Results
In line with 60 years of prior research, it appears a clinically important role for depression in some osteoarthritis cases cannot be ruled out. It further appears that if detected and addressed early on, many older adults suffering from osteoarthritis may yet be enabled to lead a quality life, rather than a distressing and excessively impaired state of being. Those older osteoarthritis cases requiring surgery who suffer from concomitant depressive symptoms are likely to be disadvantaged in the absence of efforts to treat and identify this psychosocial disease correlate.

Conclusion
Providers and researchers are encouraged to pursue this line of inquiry and begin to map clinical osteoarthritis measures with those that can track cognitive patterns, musculoskeletal, features and inflammatory reactions along with valid depression indicators among carefully selected osteoarthritis sub groups.

This study investigated the healthcare provider’s knowledge and attitudes towards induced abortion in Rwanda. A total of 152 healthcare providers from six public hospitals in Kigali city participated in this study. Questionnaires were used to record data on demographics, level of knowledge and attitudes towards abortion law then be cleaned, coded and entered into Excel sheet. Then all data were exported into SPSS version 22 for final cleaning and analysis. The study findings revealed that 54.6% were female, 56.0% were single, and 73% participants said that they attended formal training on abortion care. The study findings revealed that 23.70% healthcare providers had poor knowledge towards legal abortion law, and 57.20% had positive attitude with regards to induced abortion law. The findings revealed that religion and formal training on abortion care were among the factors which were strongly influencing attitudes of health care providers towards induced abortion where protestants were unlikely to have positive attitude with regards to induced abortion (AOR=0.277; 95% CI=0.027-0.377; P=<0.001) compared to participants belonged to catholic religion and participants who were not trained were unlikely to have positive attitude with regards to induced abortion (AOR=0.696; 95% CI=0.056-0.721; P=0.048) compared to trained respondents. It concludes that marital status, category of caregiver, religion, formal training on abortion and level of knowledge were the main risk factors of level of attitude towards induced abortion. More training about induced abortion are highly needed among health care providers to increase related knowledge as well as to eliminate negative attitude towards induced abortion.

O uso de florestas plantadas tem sido proposto nos últimos anos como uma forma de contribuir

para o desenvolvimento econômico e conservação do meio ambiente. Este artigo discute o

tema "Out grower Schemes", um tipo de parceria que tem se desenvolvido entre empresas do

setor florestal e pequenos e médios produtores rurais ou comunidades, em diferentes partes do

mundo. Um termo comumente usado em português para se referir a tais esquemas é "Fomento

Florestal'. O artigo se baseia em pesquisa feita em programas de fomento florestal de cinco

empresas florestais no Brasil, localizadas nos estados da Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais,

Paraná e Santa Catarina. O estudo que fornece os dados para a análise do tema neste texto é

parte de um programa de pesquisa mais amplo da FAO (Organização para a Agricultura e

Alimentação) das Nações Unidas sobre"Out grower Schemes" no mundo. Um dos resultados

desta pesquisa se refere à constituição de Cooperativas pelos produtores participantes dos

programas de fomento florestal. O artigo apresenta as opiniões dos funcionários das empresas

entrevistados sobre as principais dificuldades econômicas e ecológicas enfrentadas pelos

programas, e as opiniões destes e de alguns dos produtores participantes do fomento florestal

sobre os fatores que dificultam e que facilitam a obtenção dos benefícios econômicos esperados

e sobre a constituição de Cooperativas pelos fomentados.

DIGITAL INEQUALITY AND USAGE GAP IN THE V4 REGION
Authors: Vallušová Anna , Kuráková Ivana , Lacová Žaneta
Published: December 2022

The V4 countries have achieved different levels of digital transformation due to distinctions in their individual technical infrastructure and human capital characteristics. The success of digital transformation cannot be measured solely by the achieved level of digitalization; the distribution of favorable outcomes of internet use within a country should also be considered. The level of digital skills and usage patterns differ among social groups, therefore capability to translate internet access and use to tangible (offline) benefits varies. The aim of our paper is twofold. Firstly, we quantify the extent of the digital inequality in terms of usage gap in the V4 countries. We indicate the dynamics of inequality by comparing the development of such inequality between the years 2015 and 2019. Secondly, we identify socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors, which are connected to differences in internet usage patterns and therefore affect the capability of an individual to benefit from internet use. In common with other studies carried out in the Western world, we show that internet access and possession of formal digital skills are not the most important determinant of probability of being a digital beneficiary; individual characteristics, especially education and age, predict the probability of being a digital beneficiary to a higher degree of accuracy. As to the extent of digital inequality in the individual countries, we come to conclusion that although the V4 countries are relatively homogeneous concerning socioeconomic inequalities, the level of digital inequality among them differs – Hungary being somewhat unequal as co

Published: December 2022

Bamboo pretreatment is a key technology for the preparation of bamboo fibers (BFs) for composites. This study examined the properties of BFs prepared by steam explosion (SE) BFs following pretreatment by enzyme, alkali, and salt. The microstructure, functional groups, crystallinity, and surface chemical elements of BFs were characterized by environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicated that bamboo could be separated into fiber bundles through SE after pretreatment. The separation of BFs pretreated by enzyme and alkali were better, but colloid remained and was able to stick the fibers together. Through performing different pretreatments before SE, the lignin and hemicellulose of BFs were partially removed, and alkali pretreatment had the best effect on lignin removal. The crystal structure of the BFs did not change significantly, and the crystallinity of BFs was highest at 2 MPa and 6 min when pretreated by alkali. The XPS results showed that the effect of alkali pretreatment at 2 MPa for 6 min was the best.

Home Movie as a Text of Cultural Memory
Authors: Dikavičiūtė Ona Kotryna
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article is to define home movie as a text of cultural memory and reveal the dynamics of its meanings in culture. The personal and the collective maintenance and transmission of memory is a complex mechanism that operates within a dynamic cultural model. The analysis of this mechanism considers the way in which something that first appears to be culturally irrelevant – a private home movie of a family – is brought into the public space and circulates as a cultural text contributing to the preservation and formation of cultural memory. The analysis describes home movie in the framework of semiotics and reveals the meaning shifts that occur when private memory texts begin to circulate in a more general cultural context. The mechanism of the dynamics of cultural texts and the problematics of memory are explored using Yuri Lotman’s cultural semiotics approach. The example of Lithuanian director’s Dovilė Šarutytė’s debut feature film A Feature Film About Life (2021) is used to describe in more detail the transformations of meaning that home movies undergo after becoming a cultural text.
Lithuanian copy-editors in the fields of language standardization and cultural production: negotiating competing notions
Authors: Jankauskaitė Eglė
Published: December 2022

Copy-editors are important agents of language standardisation, yet Following Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory, as well as Michel Foucault’s power/knowledge dichotomy, in this article I am analysing data from semi-structured interviews with 21 Lithuanian copy-editors to determine how they negotiate their often-opposing professional notions on editing ethics and practice. The analysis has shown that in terms of ethical notions, copy-editors maintain that editing “too much” is unethical. This is likely based on the rules of the game of the literary field. It has been noticed, that the editors who also have other roles in the literary field, more strongly oppose the practice they called “author production”. Some copy-editors, however, who did not have such high stakes in the literary field, seemed to sometimes take on this work of “too much” editing, but in an interview situation, they claimed that such practice is different from copy-editing.

Indonesia is one of the countries that has the intensity of frequent natural disasters. Almost all areas experienced these natural disasters. According to the records of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) in 2017 alone, there were 884 natural disasters in Indonesia. Floods and landslides are the most common natural disasters compared to other disasters. One of the areas that are prone to disasters is Nagari Canduang Koto Laweh on the slopes of Mount Merapi, West Sumatra, the community is not yet aware of disasters, so assistance is needed for this community. Assistance is carried out with a mosque approach where the mosque is used as a centre for mitigation propaganda and KSB activities. The results of this assistance have given birth to a disaster preparedness village, where the community is starting to be disaster-savvy, disaster-responsive and resilient.
