The reality that occurs shows that students' mathematics learning achievement has not been in line with expectations. Students' mathematics learning outcomes based on test scores, there are still many students whose scores are below the specified KKM, which is 77. If you pay attention when learning takes place, it seems that many students are less interested in learning mathematics. Especially if the math class is at the last hour. This is one of the obstacles students are not motivated to learn mathematics. In addition, learning activities have not optimized student-centered learning models, so that the learning process feels less interesting so that students' understanding of mathematical concepts is still low. This study aims to determine the effect of the TTW strategy in improving learning outcomes in terms of understanding students' mathematical concepts. This type of research is a quasi-experimental research (quasi-experimental). The population in this study were students of class XI SMAN 1 Painan, class XI IIS 4 as the experimental class and class XI IIS 1 as the control class. The instrument used is a concept understanding test. The results of the hypothesis in this study are that students' understanding of mathematical concepts who take part in learning using the TTW type cooperative learning model is higher than students who use conventional learning. This means that the TTW type cooperative learning model has a good effect on students' conceptual understanding.

Authors: Rasooly Alon , Pan Yancen , Tang Zhenqing , Jiangjiang He , Ellen Moriah E. , Manor Orly , Hu Shanlian , Davidovitch Nadav
Published: May 2022

Background: Quality measurements in primary healthcare (PHC) have become an essential component for improving diabetes outcomes in many high-income countries. However, little is known about their implementation within the Chinese health-system context and how they are perceived by patients, physicians, and policy-makers. We examined stakeholders’ perceptions of quality and performance measurements for primary diabetes care in Shanghai, China, and analyzed facilitators and barriers to implementation. Methods: In-depth interviews with 26 key stakeholders were conducted from 2018 to 2019. Participants were sampled from two hospitals, four community healthcare centers (CHCs), and four institutes involved in regulating CHCs. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) guided data analysis. Results: Existing quality measurements were uniformly implemented via a top-down process, with daily monitoring of family doctors’ work and pay-for-performance incentives. Barriers included excluding frontline clinicians from indicator planning, a lack of transparent reporting, and a rigid organizational culture with limited bottom-up feedback. Findings under the CFIR construct "organizational incentives" suggested that current pay-for-performance incentives function as a "double-edged sword," increasing family doctors’ motivation to excel while creating pressures to "game the system" among some physicians. When considering the CFIR construct "reflecting and evaluating," policy-makers perceived the online evaluation application – which provides daily reports on family doctors’ work – to be an essential tool for improving quality; however, this information was not visible to patients. Findings included under the "network and communication" construct showed that specialists support the work of family doctors by providing training and patient consultations in CHCs. Conclusion: The quality of healthcare could be considerably enhanced by involving patients and physicians in decisions on quality measurement. Strengthening hospital–community partnerships can improve the quality of primary care in hospital-centric systems. The case of Shanghai provides compelling policy lessons for other health systems faced with the challenge of improving PHC.

Published: May 2022

Background: Integrated home care (IHC) is one strategy to provide care to people with multiple chronic conditions, and it contributes to the reduction of unnecessary emergency department (ED) use, but there are conflicting results on its effectiveness. In this study, we assessed the frequency and characteristics of ED visits occurring before, during, and after IHC in a large cohort of IHC patients enrolled over 6 years. Methods: The analysis included 39 822 IHC patients identified in Italian administrative databases. Patients were grouped in tertiles according to IHC duration (short, intermediate, and long) and the number of ED visits during IHC was compared to that the 12 months before IHC enrolment and in the 12 months after IHC discharge across IHC duration groups. Results: We observed a reduction in ED visits during IHC. IHC was significantly associated with a reduction in ED visits in the long and short IHC duration groups. A non-significant reduction in ED visits was observed in the intermediate IHC duration group. A 90% reduction in ED visits during IHC and a 45% reduction after IHC was observed in the short IHC duration group. Corresponding reductions were 17% and 64% during and after IHC, respectively, in the long IHC duration group. Conclusion: IHC was effective in reducing ED visits, but expansion of IHC to include additional necessary services could further reduce ED visits. Investment in the creation of a structured, effective network of engaged professionals (including community care services and hospitals) is crucial to achieving this.
Navigating Dichotomies and Dilemmas Comment on "Dual Agency in Hospitals: What Strategies Do Managers and Physicians Apply to Reconcile Dilemmas Between Clinical and Economic Considerations?"
Authors: Sirris Stephen
Published: May 2022

The complexity within healthcare typically surfaces in tensions between organizational efficiency and professional values when hospital managers and professionals face dilemmas between economic and clinical considerations. Waitzberg et al, based on interviews with managers and physicians working in Israeli and German hospitals, explore strategies to cope with such dilemmas to safeguard both financial sustainability and patient quality. This short commentary provides some follow-up questions in two ways. First, I highlight the importance of nuancing and hybridizing the dichotomies that lead to dilemmas in the hospital context. Second, I discuss how such dilemmas can be highlighted in systematic group reflection which in turn can inform decision-making.
Beyond "Lack of Political Will": Elaborating Political Economy Concepts to Advance "Thinking and Working Politically" Comment on "Health Coverage and Financial Protection in Uganda: A Political Economy Perspective"
Authors: Ssennyonjo Aloysius
Published: May 2022

Political economy analysis (PEA) has been advanced as critical to understanding the political dimensions of policy change processes. However, political economy (PE) is not a theory on its own but draws on several concepts. Nannini et al, in concert with other scholars, emphasise that politics is characterised by conflict, contestation and negotiation over interests, ideas and power as various agents attempt to influence their context. This commentary reflects how Nannini et al wrestled with these PEA concepts - summarised in their conceptual framework used for PEA of the Ugandan case study on financial risk protection reforms. The central premise is that a common understanding of the PEA concepts (mainly structure-agency interactions, ideas, interests, institutions and power) forms a basis for strategies to advance thinking and working politically. Consequently, I generate several insights into how we can promote politically informed approaches to designing, implementing and evaluating policy reforms and development efforts.

Kiraya verenin, kiralananın sözleşme süresince kiracının kullanımına elverişli bir şekilde bulundurulmasına ilişkin asli yükümlülüğü, kira sözleşmesinin taraflar arasında sürekli borç ilişkisi oluşturmasına sebep olmaktadır. Ancak kira sözleşmesinin sürekli borç ilişkisi niteliğinde olmasından, sözleşme sona erinceye kadar, hiçbir değişikliğe uğramadan ve kurulduğu hâliyle devam etmesi gerektiği anlamı çıkarılmamalıdır. Elbette sözleşme devam ederken kira sözleşmesinde bazı değişiklikler meydana gelebilir. Bu değişikliklerden biri de sözleşmenin taraflarında yaşanan değişikliktir. Kira sözleşmesi kurulduktan sonra, çeşitli sebeplerle, sözleşmeyi akdeden tarafların değişmesi ve yerine üçüncü kişilerin sözleşme ilişkisine dahil olması mümkündür. Kira sözleşmesinin taraflarında yaşanan değişiklikler ise çeşitli hukuki sonuçları beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu sonuçlardan biri de mevcut teminatlara ilişkindir. Fakat kira sözleşmesinde görülebilecek tüm taraf değişikliği hâllerinde ve mevcut tüm teminatlar hakkında uygulanabilir tek bir hüküm mevcut değildir. Taraf değişikliğinin hangi tarafta gerçekleştiğine ve teminatın türüne göre değişikliğe bağlanan sonuçlar da değişmektedir.

Published: May 2022

Background

We surveyed addiction journal editorial board members to better understand their opinions towards data-sharing.

Methods

Survey items consisted of Likert-type (e.g., one to five scale), multiple-choice, and free-response questions. Journal websites were searched for names and email addresses. Emails were distributed using SurveyMonkey. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the responses.

Results

We received 178 responses (of 1039; 17.1%). Of these, 174 individuals agreed to participate in our study (97.8%). Most respondents did not know whether their journal had a data-sharing policy. Board members “somewhat agree” that addiction journals should recommend but not require data-sharing for submitted manuscripts [M=4.09 (SD=0.06); 95% CI: 3.97-4.22]. Items with the highest perceived benefit ratings were “secondary data use (e.g., meta-analysis)” [M=3.44 (SD=0.06); 95% CI: 3.31-3.56] and “increased transparency” [M=3.29 (SD=0.07); 95% CI: 3.14-3.43]. Items perceived to be the greatest barrier to data-sharing included “lack of metadata standards” [M=3.21 (SD=0.08); 95% CI: 3.06-3.36], “no incentive” [M=3.43 (SD=0.07); 95% CI: 3.30-3.57], “inadequate resources” [M=3.53 (SD=0.05); 95% CI: 3.42-3.63], and “protection of privacy”[M=3.22 (SD=0.07); 95% CI: 3.07-3.36].

Conclusion

Our results suggest addiction journal editorial board members believe data-sharing has a level of importance within the research community. However, most board members are unaware of their journals’ data-sharing policies, and most data-sharing should be recommended but not required. Future efforts aimed at better understanding common reservations and benefits towards data-sharing, as well as avenues to optimize data-sharing while minimizing potential risks, are warranted.

Authors: BRESSKAYA A. D. , TROFIMOV D. A. , SHALGUNOV S. I. , SIMONOV-EMELYANOV I. D.
Published: May 2022

The results of a study of the kinetics and level of shrinkage during curing of systems based on the ED-20 epoxy oligomer with an amine hardener and active diluents (AD) of different nature, structure and characteristics (laproxides and laprolat) are presented.

The effect of the structure, AD content and curing temperature on the kinetics and level of shrinkage, as well as the glass transition temperature of epoxy systems with AD, is shown.

It was found that the most effective AD in the ED-20 + TETA system are laproxides of the E-181 and 703 brands, as well as laprolat 301 with a content of 0.15 vol.

Optimal compositions of binders based on epoxy oligomers with active diluents with low shrinkage (~1.5-2 times), initial viscosity no more than ~0.2 Pa·s at a curing temperature of 60°C, which guarantees high-quality impregnation of fiber fillers and high the level of physical and mechanical characteristics of reinforced plastics.

Property is a right and a duty. The owner has the right to have the land for himself and his family, however, it is also the duty of this owner that this land produces value (wealth). In effect, this owner needs to make this property express its social vocation by strengthening the economy, extracting maximum productivity from it. In a historical sense, property becomes the principle of human and social distinction from the moment that man surrounds the first portion of land, risking propagation, shouting that the lands were his, and men of humble origin , they believed, and thus civil society was born. Hundreds of crimes, genocides and atrocities could not have happened and human lives could have been preserved. These men could have pulled down those fences, could have rallied against this idea and called out to others. Thinkers were even contrary and did not accept this question, but chose property as a principle of civil society. The term property underwent changes and redefinitions over time, for the Romans, in their legal framework, in law, the idea of property was supported by three maxims, the right to use, enjoy and enjoy the things of property. , even to destroy it. Therefore, in Roman law, the owner exercised absolute power over the land, he could do everything, today, this is no longer true.
Contexto, generación, ficción: una explicación de la literatura de hijos desde la sociología literaria
Authors: Casali Silvana Mercedes
Published: May 2022

Este trabajo se pregunta por la emergencia y reconocimiento de la literatura de hijos al promediar la primera década del 2000. Posicionados desde la perspectiva teórico-metodológica de la sociología literaria, trabajaremos con dos autoficciones que, frente al imaginario de la generación setentista de militancia, construyen desde el presente una memoria propia: Los topos, de Félix Bruzzone, publicada en 2008, y Diario de una princesa montonera. 110% verdad, de Mariana Eva Perez, publicada en 2012. Para reconstruir las opciones posibles de sus autores —la elección acerca de qué y cómo narrar— será de utilidad analizar sus trayectorias biográficas junto al análisis de entrevistas, reseñas y estudios académicos dedicados al tema.

Las joyas de las putas
Authors:   , Montalto Miguel Ángel
Published: May 2022

La propuesta de Tesis plantea el abordaje interdisciplinar, de la relación Arte y Joyería en ámbitos marginales, especialmente el prostibulario, y la posterior ascensión/ aceptación social de estas tipologías de ornato (la bisutería) por la clase obrera, media y la alta burguesía, proceso que se inicia en el lapso comprendido entre los años 1870 y 1930. El período estudiado se inicia con el descubrimiento y explotación de los primeros polímeros sintéticos (el celuloide entre 1856 y 1870 , y la baquelita en 1907) cuyas materialidades son el eje conductor de la propuesta, y culmina con el comienzo de la gran depresión y la llamada década infame. A nivel geográfico el trabajo se enfoca de manera binaria: por una parte las zonas portuarias centrales de América Latina, Buenos Aires, Rosario y Montevideo, en el contexto del higienismo y la segunda revolución industrial; las primeras, zonas donde históricamente se han localizado gran cantidad de prostíbulos y organizaciones de carácter rufianesco, y por otro Europa central, centro del diseño y la moda adoptada en Buenos Aires y el mundo, de donde se importaban además de artículos de celuloide o baquelita, publicaciones de actualidad dirigidas al género femenino de carácter particularmente aleccionador. La propuesta parte del supuesto según el cual, el desarrollo de los polímeros sintéticos habría posibilitado un modelo de imitación de clase, basado en la ornamentación corporal; desde aquí se analizaron diversos procesos sociales que dieron lugar a la legitimación del uso de estos ornamentos. Se consideraron como base teórica aspectos de carácter evolutivo, sociales y políticas públicas relacionadas al cuerpo portante y de clase. Finalmente se abordaron ideas que suponen correr el concepto de estética de su histórica significación platónica, vinculándolo a un proceso evolutivo (biológico y cultural). Por otro lado, se observa que, si bien los sucesos que posibilitaron la legitimación del uso de ornamentos se vieron influidos por múltiples factores, el desarrollo de nuevas materialidades fue el impulsor inicial de esta tendencia. Finalmente se concluye que la figura emergente de la clase media es utilizada como “mediadora” en este proceso, como vía de proteger los privilegios de la clase alta.

An Inner Product Space-Based Hierarchical Key Assignment Scheme for Access Control
Authors: Celiktas Baris , Ozdemır Enver , Guzey Sueda
Published: May 2022

An inner product space-based hierarchical key assignment/access control scheme is presented in this work. The proposed scheme can be utilized in any cloud delivery model where the data controller implements a hierarchical access control policy. In other words, the scheme adjusts any hierarchical access control policy to a digital medium. The scheme is based on inner product spaces and the method of orthogonal projection. While distributing a basis for each class by the data controller, the left-to-right and bottom-up policy can ensure much more flexibility and efficiency, especially during any change in the structure. For each class, the secret keys can be derived only when a predetermined subspace is available. The parent class can obtain the keys of the child class, which means a one-way function, and the opposite direction is not allowed. Our scheme is collusion attack and privilege creep problem resistant, as well as key recovery and indistinguishability secure. The performance analysis shows that the data storage overhead is much more tolerable than other schemes in the literature. In addition, the other advantage of our scheme over many others in the literature is that it needs only one operation for the derivation of the key of child classes.
Effects of Spondias mombin and Aspilia africana Aqueous Extracts on Rats with Monosodium Glutamate-Induced Leiomyoma
Authors: Steven P. E. Eze- , Udedi S. C. , Ude C. M.
Published: May 2022

Uterine leiomyoma is commonly known as fibroid. Increased use of chemicals is believed to enhance its prevalence and monosodium glutamate is implicated. Fibroid is prevalent among black women with no known drug for its treatment. It is therefore necessary to determine a safer method for fibroid treatment. This work investigated effects of different aqueous extracts of Spondias mombin (hog plum) and Aspilia africana (wild sunflower) leaves on uterus and kidney cells of rats with monosodium glutamate (MSG)-induced fibroid. Twenty-eight rats used in this study were divided into four groups of seven rats each and acclimatized. Fibroid was induced on the Positive control, Groups III and IV, after daily ingestion of 750mg/kg body weight of MSG for 28 days. Negative control had no fibroid but the Positive control remained untreated. Groups III and IV were continuously ingested with same dose of MSG for the next 28 days with daily oral treatment using 250mg/kg body weight aqueous extracts of hog plum and wild sunflower, respectively. Histological examinations were performed on the 2nd and 4th weeks, respectively, on two rats from each group for the next 28 days. Results showed degenerated endometrial cells and preserved nephritic tissues after treatment with aqueous extracts of S. mombin leaves. There was mild hyperplasia of endometrial cells after treatment with extract of A. africana in the 2nd week which differed from the 4th week. MSG has nephrotoxic properties and aqueous extract of S. mombin alleviated MSG oxidative powers on rats’ endometrial cells. With continuous ingestion, A. africana aqueous extract better preserved rat’s endometrium from oxidizing action of MSG. These extracts could be used as safer chemotherapy in fibroid management.

Background: From 2009 to 2014, the prevalence of HIV among adults in Mozambique increased from 11.5% to 13.2%. To reduce disease progression and prevent transmission, HIV-infected persons must have access to timely, continuous, high-quality HIV care and treatment services. This study aim to identify the barriers to early diagnosis, access to medical care, ART initiation and adherence. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with newly diagnosed HIV-positive patients and health providers in Maputo City and Zambézia Province. Participants were recruited into the study at the time of HIV testing. Interviews were obtained at least 45 days after HIV diagnosis and were conducted in the community where the patients resided. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and translated into Portuguese prior to analysis. A framework approach was used for analysis using NVivo 10.0. Results: Ninety patients and twelve providers were interviewed. Twenty-nine patients (32%) stated that they were motivated to get tested for HIV because they felt they had an unspecified health problem. Among pregnant women, nineteen (44%) were motivated to enroll in care and initiate ART by nurses during their first prenatal visit. Of the 90 newly diagnosed patients, 80% sought care and treatment for HIV after being diagnosed in a health facility. Conclusions: Test-seeking behaviour for persons newly diagnosed with HIV in this study was often influenced by their health status, both for patients accessing voluntarily counselling and testing and for patients who tested in antenatal care settings. Initiation of ART was also strongly influenced by provider recommendation.

This study aimed at cockroach infestations and their perceived importance in disease transmission was carried out in Yenagoa metropolis of Bayelsa State of Nigeria using sample survey method involving the retrieval of 225 descriptive questionnaires from the people bound on their knowledge of cockroach as vector of pathogenic organisms and the possible modes of control. On the frequency of cockroach infestation in habitats, respondents reported 20.40% cockroach infestation in private homes, schools (7.80%), offices (5.90%), hospitals (12.20%), toilets (18.40%), dust bins (15.70%) and restaurants (19.60%). 82.4% of the respondents affirmed that cockroaches are carriers of disease pathogens and are implicated as causative organisms of allergies and respiratory disease. About 23.5% were well aware that cockroach infestation triggers asthmatic attack in sensitive people. All the surveyed houses reported cockroach infestation, with high prevalence in the older houses (71.40%) compared to the recently built ones (53.90%). 78.4% of the respondents gave poor sanitary condition as an indicator for high cockroach prevalence. Concerning best method of control, 54.90% voted for the use of synthetic pesticides, biological control (23.53%) and cultural control (21.57%). Therefore, the teeming populace of Bayelsa State should be educated as to the perceived importance of the prevalence of cockroaches in homes, hospitals and food preparation centers especially as vectors of pathogenic organisms and be further sensitized on the best control practices such as good sanitation practice, food hygiene, stocking foodstuffs in sealed containers and proper disposal of refuse so as to reduce cockroach related menace.
Treatment of Metastatic Disease with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Nivolumab and Pembrolizumab: Effect of Performance Status on Clinical Outcomes

Published: May 2022

Introduction

Although guidelines exist for appropriate use of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting based on performance status, such recommendations are less readily available for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We sought to determine whether there is a relationship between Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and outcomes of immunotherapy in patients treated for metastatic disease at our community-based oncology practice.

Methods

Patients (n = 253) were identified as receiving nivolumab or pembrolizumab for stage IV malignancy at Cancer Centers of Colorado, St. Joseph Hospital/SCL Health between June 2018 and November 2020. Patients who initiated therapy after May 2020 were excluded from analysis due to less than 6 months follow-up time. The remaining 183 patients were included in a retrospective cohort study comparing patients with ECOG 0, 1, and 2–4. Sex, age, type of cancer, line of therapy, time on therapy and best response to therapy were determined. These baseline factors and outcomes were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA) for numeric variables and χ2 tests of association for categorical variables. Time from initiation of ICI to death or hospice was also compared using a log-rank test as well as a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

Of the 183 patients included, 31.7% had an ECOG of 0, 48.6% an ECOG of 1, and 19.7% an ECOG of 2–4. Non–small cell lung cancer and melanoma represented the majority of patients in each group. Sex and line of therapy did not differ between groups. There was a significant difference in age, with mean age of 62, 66, and 70 in ECOG 0, 1, and 2–4, respectively. Patients (54.6%) remained on therapy for at least 6 months, with no significant difference between groups in ability to complete 6 months of therapy. For ECOG 0, 1, and 2–4, disease control was achieved in 67.2%, 59.6%, and 41.7%, respectively. Analysis of time to death or hospice with a log-rank test showed a significant difference between groups. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed that patients with ECOG 0 had significantly longer time to death or hospice compared with patients in both other groups after controlling for age, sex, and line of therapy.

Conclusion

In this single institution retrospective study of patients receiving nivolumab or pembrolizumab for metastatic cancer, ECOG 0 was associated with disease control and increased time before death or transition to hospice.
Adequate (Non)Provocation and Heat of Passion as Excuse Not Justification
Authors: Fontaine Reid
Published: May 2022

For a number of reasons, including the complicated psychological makeup of reactive homicide, the heat of passion defense has remained subject to various points of confusion. One persistent issue of disagreement has been the justificatory versus excusatory nature of the defense. In this Article, I highlight and categorize a series of varied American homicide cases in which the applicability of heat of passion was supported although adequate provocation (or significant provocation by the victim) was absent. The cases are organized to illustrate how common law heat of passion may apply in instances in which there is no actual provocation or the source of provocation is the victim. The rationale is that the emotional disturbance that interferes with one's rationality and self-control arises as an effect of the genuine belief that one has been seriously wronged, a perspective that can only be characterized as an excuse. In addition, I discuss how the rationale that this defense is a partial justification fails even in most situations in which the killer has really been seriously provoked by the victim. Finally, I clarify discrete psychological components of heat of passion homicide, and discuss how scholarly and judicial blurring of these forms of mental functioning may contribute to the longstanding confusion as to the nature of the defense. In sum, this Article contributes further evidence as to why it is correct to view heat of passion as a partial excuse.
How Not to Argue That Reasonable Provocation is Not an Excuse
Authors: Westen Peter
Published: May 2022

Reid Fontaine draws two conclusions regarding the partial defense to murder of reasonable provocation-one regarding its substantive content, the other regarding its formal classification…. I agree with both of Fontaine's two conclusions, and, indeed, I have previously written to that effect. Unfortunately, while I agree with Fontaine's conclusions, I do not think he adequately supports them.
The Irreducibly Normative Nature of Provocation/Passion
Authors: Morse Stephen
Published: May 2022

I agree with Professor Fontaine that provocation/passion is best interpreted as a partial excuse, but the ground for my conclusion is normative and not analytic. Indeed, I fear that he has not made the analytic case in large part because he begs a question about failed justifications that has only a normative and not an analytic answer. This Essay first briefly provides my own understanding of provocation/ passion. In the course of doing so, I address Professor Fontaine's argument that provocation/passion should also be applied to people with provocation interpretational bias. I then turn to why Fontaine's case for partial excuse is not analytically airtight.
The Values of Interdisciplinarity in Homicide Law Reform
Authors: Weisberg Robert
Published: May 2022

Professor Reid Fontaine's article, Adequate (Non)Provocation and Heat of Passion as Excuse Not Justification, makes a convincing case for treating heat of passion wholly as an excuse not a justification, as the only sensible way to comprehend its various forms. In doing so, Professor Fontaine stimulates further thinking about heat of passion doctrine, along two dimensions.
