Fallas de licuación de suelos inducidas por el sismo del 7 de septiembre de 2017 en la Ciudad de Coatzacoalcos, Ver.
Authors: GUZMÁN VENTURA JUAN ANTONIO , WILLIAMS LINERA FRANCISCO , RIQUER TRUJILLO GUADALUPE , LEYVA SOBERANIS REGINO
Published: July 2020

En este trabajo se presenta una revisión de 21 viviendas, que resultaron dañadas por licuación de suelos inducido por el sismo del 7 de septiembre de 2017, en la ciudad de Coatzacoalcos, Ver. Para tal efecto se ejecutaron 5 Sondeos de Penetración Estándar (SPT) con el objetivo de determinar las propiedades geotécnicas de los puntos donde se presentaron los mayores daños. En 13 sitios localizados en la zona de estudio se obtuvieron las funciones de transferencia empíricas (FTE), mediante registros de vibración ambiental, aplicando la técnica H/V. En base al promedio de las FTE, se calculó la función de transferencia teórica (FTT) aplicando el método de Haskell (1962), determinando de esta manera un modelo estratigráfico representativo del suelo (MSC). A partir de un registro de aceleraciones en superficie del sismo del 7 de septiembre, de una estación acelerográfica localizada en Minatitlán, Ver. (ASM), se aplicó la técnica H/V para determinar la FTE y el método de Haskell para el modelo del suelo (MSM).  El registro en superficie (ASM) se deconvolucionó con el modelo del suelo (MSM) para obtener el registro de aceleración en roca (AR) y para la zona de estudio de Coatzacoalcos, este registro (AR), se convolucionó con el modelo estratigráfico del suelo de Coatzacoalcos (MSC) para determinar el registro de aceleraciones en superficie (ASC) y de esta manera estimar la aceleración máxima en el terreno en estudio durante el sismo. La vulnerabilidad a la licuación de los suelos se determinó por el método empírico simplificado propuesto por Seed e Idriss (1971) y modificado por Youd, et al (2001).
Porque o homem é mais homem que o homem
Authors: Rodriguez Shay de los Santos
Published: July 2020

O seguinte texto pretende apresentar o resumo da minha pesquisa de trabalho de conclusão de curso – TCC, intitulado: SE EU COMPREI, ENTÃO É MEU: coisas do cotidiano e do prazer sexual para além da heteronormatividade. Este trabalho tem o intuito de problematizar, desde uma perspectiva das ciências humanas, em especial da Arqueologia, de que o órgão genital, nesse caso o pênis, não é o fator que define o gênero de alguém. Através das análises comparativas desde as coisas contemporâneas, em específico entre as próteses penianas das lojas de Sex Shops e próteses penianas das lojas especializadas para homens trans, coloco em debate as representações fálicas de gênero, corpo, sexo, sexualidade e as masculinidades. Aponto ao fato de que tais representações são múltiplas e variadas. Portanto, se trata de um trabalho que tem como objetivo problematizar essencialismos e reducionismos.
Diálogos orientados/desorientados pela teoria queer
Authors: Silva Maurício André da
Published: July 2020

Este artigo aproxima a teoria queer das ações educativas, direcionadas à arqueologia, desenvolvidas no Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da Universidade de São Paulo, com o objetivo de se engajar com posturas menos normatizadas e abertas ao acolhimento de repertórios de diferentes públicos. Busca-se tensionar as interpretações arqueológicas e suas ressonâncias com as questões contemporâneas, principalmente com corpos e identidades silenciadas. Desde 2018, o Educativo da instituição tem lidado com o desafio da abordagem da sexualidade e do gênero, como meio de se refletir sobre o presente e sua imbricação no passado, reforçando o papel político da arqueologia e dos museus. Interpretação arqueológica é criação e, por meio dela, são fundados novos mundos, nesse sentido deve-se experimentar práticas que possibilitem a capacidade de imaginação e atuação política no presente.
Arqueologia e teoria queer

Published: July 2020

Este artigocoloca em pauta a legitimação do reconhecimento da população LGBTQI+ a respeito de uma categoria de gênero: o sujeito Queer. Através da organização de duas oficinas realizadas na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG) e na Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel), equipadas com nosso tripé metodológico -isto é, informação, construção e sensibilização -, fomos capazes de dialogar com aproximadamente 80 estudantes sobre Arqueologia e a Teoria Queer. Intitulado como Arqueologia e Teoria Queer: por uma Arqueologia Transviada, a oficina possibilitou elucidar os questionamentos levantados por Gontijo & Schaan (2017) através da ratificação do indivíduo transviado que fica subalterno mediante a vigente binariedade de gênero, delimitada pelos valores da cultura ocidental.
Arqueologia, museus e identidade cultural
Authors: Wichers Camila Azevedo de Moraes
Published: July 2020

Este artigo traz inquietações acerca da relação entre arqueologia, museus e identidade cultural, à luz dos questionamentos queer. Museus e Arqueologia, como instituições modernas, têm reforçado uma identidade pautada na hetero-cis-normatividade e na branquitude.   Por sua vez, a perspectiva queer interpela qualquer noção fixa de identidade, prezando pela fluidez. Nesse sentido, busco recuperar aspectos da relação entre arqueologia musealizada e identidade cultural, a partir de alguns modelos institucionais, passando à crítica queer de como os mesmos lidam com os processos identitários. Defendo, então, a compreensão das identidades a partir do conceito diferença, trazendo exemplos da ressignificação da arqueologia musealizada.
Teorias de gênero e feminismos na arqueologia brasileira
Authors: Furquim Laura Pereira , Jácome Camila Pereira
Published: July 2020

Nesse artigo discutiremos como a noção de gênero vem sendo trabalhada na arqueologia brasileira, a partir da história e de grandes temas de nossa disciplina. Nosso enfoque perpassa a arqueologia pré-colonial, em pesquisas que vão da bioarqueologia até arqueologia do simbolismo (arte rupestre, cerâmica, etc.); a arqueologia histórica, em especial da relação das mulheres e o mundo material. Finalizamos a discussão com um panorama mais recente, mostrando o debate de gênero, teoria queer e o feminismo teórico emilitante. E como essas discussões vão além do suporte interpretativo para as relações humanas no passado, mas são fundamentais para o entendimento e questionamento de relações de poder e trabalho presentes na arqueologia profissional e acadêmica.

Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento e aplicação de um roteiro de educação patrimonial numa escola da rede pública de São Raimundo Nonato-PI. As atividades tiveram um cunho interventivo, utilizando-se de ferramentas pedagógicas com as quais foram apresentadas temáticas pertinentes ao patrimônio arqueológico e cultural da região. Questionários consultivos avaliaram o processo e quais ferramentas foram mais eficazes. Observou-se um maior interesse pelas atividades lúdicas, porém, para alcançar o aprofundamento esperado, avaliou-se que as demais, com caráter explicativo, também tiveram um papel relevante. De modo geral, buscou-se construir um projeto socialmente responsável, que promovesse a sensibilização do público abarcado para com o patrimônio arqueológico regional.
Unidades de conservação e patrimônio arqueológico

Published: July 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo fazer algumas reflexões sobre o papel dos mediadores na educação patrimonial, mais especificamente em relação ao contexto do patrimônio arqueológico. Essa é uma problemática importante e bastante atual, tendo em vista duas questões que devem ser colocadas: a falta de conhecimento sobre o conceito de Arqueologia por grande parte da população brasileira e a falta de uma adequada mediação para estabelecer o contato direto do público com o patrimônio arqueológico durante as atividades ligadas aos programas de educação patrimonial. O potencial das Unidades de Conservação, enquanto espaços alternativos para desenvolver tais ações educativas, também está colocado neste artigo.
Sensing Antarctica
Authors: Soares Fernanda Codevilla , Zarankin Andrés
Published: July 2020

Full of superlatives, the Antarctic continent has been represented as the most desert, coldest and wildest location of all places on earth; an apt location for archeology, a discipline often associated with adventure. To reflect on these considerations and critique the traditional ways of presenting Archaeology and Antarctica in science, LEACH-UFMG has proposed an alternative mediation that encourages communication with both. Using exhibits, plays, comic books, sticker albums, among others, the idea is to use the elements that normally make Antarctica and Archaeology interesting for people without, however, oversimplifying. Specifically in this paper we will report an experience that we had at Espaço do Conhecimento UFMG which was a sensorial exhibit, resulting from the collaborative work of Mediantar (Antarctica Medicine), Mycoantar (Antarctica Microbiology) and “White Landscape” (Antarctic Archaeology and Anthropology) projects, all carried out by UFMG. This exhibit called “Antarctic expedition” was on display from December 7th 2017 to May 20th 2018 and was visited by 30573 people.

Published: July 2020

La presente investigación se plantea como un acercamiento a distintos espacios urbanos alternativos franceses desde una perspectiva LGTB. La recogida de datos se hizo a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas a distintos responsables de espacios culturales y a jóvenes directores de cine. También se hace servir el análisis de los datos conocidos en base a una observación participante, ya que este trabajo parte de una experiencia personal llevada a cabo en París durante entre 2018 y 2019. En el plazo de dos años hemos detectado un importante cambio de la situación en lo referido a la visibilidad y percepción de la diversidad sexual en el ámbito francés. Y todo ello sin perder de vista el impacto social y mediático de la revuelta de los Gilets Jaunes (chalecos amarillos), valorando que uno de los portavoces más seguidos del movimiento Gilets Jaunes es Édouard Louis, un joven escritor muy conocido por sus novelas y trabajos sobre temática gay.

Does the Ownership Affect the Financial Performance of the Hospital? The Example of Poland
Authors: Miszczyńska Katarzyna , Miszczyński Piotr
Published: July 2020

Hospital indebtedness is a complex and very diverse phenomenon. Thus, the goal of this study is the comparison of the financial performance of public hospitals in accordance with their ownership and size. The results of the research lead to the conclusion that the vast majority of public hospitals are indebted, and their ownership structure does not affect their financial condition. What is more, the statistical analysis depicted that large Marshall hospitals are less indebted than poviat-commune ones. In the group of medium-size hospitals, the situation was the opposite. Moreover, the study did not confirm the significant relationship between the size or ownership and the financial status of the hospital. The analysis conducted in the article is aimed at filling in the gap in studies comparing the indebtedness between different types of public hospitals.

Partial purification and characterisation of α-amylases from the digestive tract of the Indian major carp Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822)
Authors: . Umalatha , Sridhar N. , Kushwaha Jairam Prasad , Kumar Vadlapudi
Published: July 2020

Partial purification of α-amylases from the digestive tract of the Indian major carp Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822) through acetone fractionation and ion exchange chromatography (DEAE-SephadexA-50) resulted in 8-fold purification with 86% recovery. Characterisation of amylase activity revealed two pH optima at 4.5 and 6.5. Activity was stable over wide pH ranges of 3.5 to 4.5 and 7 to 12. Optimum incubation temperature was 35°C. The enzyme lost 91% activity at 60°C within 15 min and was inhibited by Amylase inhibitor Type-1 (wheat); 1, 10 Phenanthroline, Ethylene diamine tetra-acetate (EDTA) and Phenyl methyl sulphonyl fluoride (PMSF). Heavy metal ions Hg++ and Cu++ strongly inhibited the enzyme activity, while Zn++ and Bi++ inhibited to a lesser extent. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified amylase fractions revealed four bands, with corresponding molecular weights of 43.59, 52.36, 55.42 and 54.01 kDa. α-Amylase activity from L. rohita exhibited linear hydrolysis of starch upto 7% concentration in 60 min.

The length-weight relationship of a newly described catfish Pangasius silasi Dwivedi et. al., 2017 was studied from 88 specimens collected from the native distribution range of the species i.e. Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, Telengana, India. The total length and weight of the sampled fishes ranged from 290 to -590 mm and 240 to 2300 g respectively. Results of regression analysis showed that the regression coefficient (r²) values varied from 0.985 to 0.989. The average condition factor observed was 1.04 and 0.98 for males and females respectively. Positive allometric growth and condition factor of the species indicated the potential of the species for aquaculture. The information generated will also be useful in sustainable management and conservation of the species in natural waters.
Validating Plant Genes Involved in Pepper Yellow Leaf Curl Indonesia Virus Infection Using VIGS in Model Plant Nicotiana benthamiana
Authors: Kusumanegara Kusumawaty , Kaido Masanori , Mise Kazuyuki
Published: July 2020

Pepper yellow leaf curl disease caused by Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCIV) has become a challenge to chili pepper cultivation. Development of resistant variety by utilizing recessive resistance gene is expected to control the disease in the field. This study aimed to validate three plant genes, namely deltaCOP, hsc70, and BAM1, in PepYLCIV infection by applying Virus-induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) in a model plant, wild type Nicotiana benthamiana. PepYLCIV and construct of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) which induced silencing of each gene were co-inoculated into N. benthamiana plants through agroinfiltration. Gene expression and the relative amount of viral DNA were determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and quantitative PCR (qPCR), respectively, at 15 days post inoculation. The results showed a decreased level of deltaCOP, hsc70, and BAM1 expressions to 66.4%, 53.0%, and 47.0%, respectively, compared to that in the control (100%). Silencing of the three genes decreased the accumulation of PepYLCIV to 0.1%, 18.4%, and 63.0%, respectively, compared to that in the control. deltaCOP and hsc70 genes were indicated to be involved in the viral infection and could be good candidate genes for obtaining chili pepper varieties resistant to PepYLCIV. This result affirmed that the reverse genetics technique could be an alternative approach for identifying plant genes involved in viral infection, including PepYLCIV. The use of an infectious clone in this study allows the virus inoculations could be carried out without rearing and maintaining its natural vector, hence reduces the risk of virus transmission to healthy plants.
An Intensive Cultural Resources Investigation for the Redbud Pump Station Transmission Water Line Project Collin County, Texas
Authors: Belvin Karen
Published: July 2020

The City of McKinney (City) is proposing to construct and maintain 2.2 kilometers (km; 1.4 miles [mi]) of 42- inch (in) water transmission line for the Redbud Pump Station Transmission Water Line Project (Project) located within the City of McKinney, in west-central Collin County, Texas (Appendix A, Figure 1). On behalf of the City, BGE, Inc. (BGE) conducted an intensive pedestrian survey augmented by shovel testing of the Project. Because the proposed project is being contracted by the City of McKinney, a political subdivision of the state of Texas, the project sponsor is required under the Texas Antiquities Code and the Texas Natural Resources Code Chapter 26 ‘Rules of Practice and Procedure for the Antiquities Code of Texas’ to obtain a Texas Antiquities Permit to perform cultural resources investigations to assess whether cultural resources are present that may rise to the level of significance of State Antiquities Landmark (SAL) status. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) has assigned Antiquities Permit number 8763 to the Project. Furthermore, project construction designs minimize impacts to Waters of the United States (WOTUS) crossed by the project, not meeting the minimum threshhold established under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) for the requirement of a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
Significance Testing of Archeological Site 41SR242, The Cornelio Alvarez Sr. Site, Starr County, Texas
Authors: Carpenter Stephen , Ringstaff Christopher , Cody Mercedes , Abbott James , Lawrence Ken , Shelton Chris , Frederick Charles , Nielsen Christina
Published: July 2020

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), conducted National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility testing of the Cornelio Alvarez Sr. site (41SR242) as part of the State Loop (SL) 195 project (Project) (CSJ: 3632-01-001) in Starr County, Texas. Subsequent to the field investigations, SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) conducted artifact analysis, reporting, and curation preparation for the multi-component historic and prehistoric site. Investigations were conducted in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (54 United State Code 30601) and the Antiquities Code of Texas (9 Natural Resources Code). The investigations assessed the site’s eligibility for listing on the NRHP (36 Code of Federal Regulations 60.4) and for designation as a State Antiquities Landmark (SAL; 13 Texas Administrative Code 26.8, 26.12). Christopher W. Ringstaff served as Principal Investigator under Texas Antiquities Permit Number 7912. TxDOT conducted the field investigations were from February 20–24, 2017, and April 10–14, 2017. Site 41SR242 is primarily a Middle to Late Archaic site with lesser Late Prehistoric and perhaps earlier components. The open occupational site is located on an upland margin landform in a tributary valley a few miles from the Rio Grande. The investigations revealed material assemblages consisting of diffusely scattered burned rock, debitage, and lithic tools, which were predominantly recovered from a 30- to 50-cm-thick stratum of mixed artifacts. However, a few concentrations of artifacts were identified, and each location yielded isolated intact features. Formation and post-depositional processes are generally not conducive to preservation of intact archeological surfaces, patterns, or site structure. Although the overall site lacks integrity and potential data yield, isolated discrete behavioral loci are present. Therefore, site 41SR242 is recommended as eligible for the NRHP and as an SAL. This recommendation pertains to the portions of the site within the APE. The site extends beyond the APE, and the areas outside of the APE have not been evaluated.
High BANCR expression is associated with worse prognosis in human malignant carcinomas: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Fang Shi xu , Liu Zhou , Guo Qiang , Chen Cheng , Ke Xi xian , Gang Xu
Published: July 2020

Background: BRAF-activated noncoding RNA (BANCR) is aberrantly expressed in various tumor tissues and has been confirmed to function as a tumor suppressor or oncogene in many types of cancers. Considering the conflicting results and insufficient sampling, a meta-analysis was performed to explore the prognostic value of BANCR in various carcinomas. Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was conducted to collect relevant articles. Results: The pooled results showed a strong relationship between high BANCR expression and poor overall survival (OS) (HR (hazard ratio) =1.60, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19-2.15, P =0.002) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.27-1.85, P <0.00001). In addition, high BANCR expression predicted advanced tumor stage (OR (odds ratio) =2.39, 95% CI: 1.26-4.53, P =0.008), presence of lymph node metastasis (OR=2.03, 95% CI: 1.08-3.83, P =0.03), positive distant metastasis (OR=3.08, 95% CI: 1.92-4.96, P <0.00001) and larger tumor sizes (OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.09-2.46, P =0.02). However, no associations were found for smoking status (OR=1.01, 95% CI: 0.65-1.56, P =0.98), age (OR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.71-1.09, P =0.236) and sex (OR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.72-1.16, P =0.469). The sensitivity analysis of OS showed that the results of each publication were almost consistent with the combined results, and the merged results have high robustness and reliability. Conclusions: The results showed that elevated BANCR expression was associated with unfavorable prognosis for most cancer patients, and BANCR could serve as a promising therapeutic target and independent prognostic predictor in most of cancer types.
Sjogren’s Syndrome is associated with higher healthcare utilization after primary hip, but not primary knee arthroplasty: A U.S. cohort study
Authors: Singh Jasvinder A , Cleveland John D.
Published: July 2020

Objective: To assess whether Sjogren’s Syndrome (SS) is associated with outcomes after total knee or hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA). Methods: We used the 1998-2014 U.S. National Inpatient Sample data. We performed multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analyses to assess the association of SS with healthcare utilization (hospital charges, length of hospital stay, discharge to non-home setting), and in-hospital complications (implant infection, revision, transfusion, mortality), controlling for important covariates and confounders. In sensitivity analyses, we additionally adjusted the main models for hospital location/teaching status, bed size, and region . Results: We examined 4,116,485 primary THAs and 8,127,282 primary TKAs performed from 1998-2014; 12,772 (0.2%) primary TKAs and 6,222 (0.2%) primary THAs were done in people with SS. In multivariable-adjusted models, SS was associated with a statistically significant higher odds ratio (OR; 95% confidence interval (CI)) of discharge to a rehabilitation/inpatient facility post-THA, 1.13 (1.00, 1.28), but not post-TKA, 0.93 (0.86, 1.02). We noted no differences in the length of hospital stay or hospital charges. SS was associated with significantly higher adjusted odds of in-hospital transfusion post-THA, 1.37 (1.22, 1.55) and post-TKA, 1.21 (1.10, 1.34). No significant differences by SS diagnosis were seen in hospital stay, hospital charges implant infection, implant revision or mortality rates. Conclusions: People with SS had higher transfusion rate post-TKA/THA, and higher rate of discharge to non-home setting post-THA. The lack of association of SS with post-arthroplasty complications should reassure patients, surgeons and policy-makers about the utility of TKA/THA in people with SS undergoing these procedures.

Background Undernutrition among under five children in India is a major public health problem.Despite India’s growth in the economy, the child mortality rate due to undernutrition is still high in both urban and rural areas.Studies that focus on urban slums are scarce. Hence the present study was carried out to assess the prevalence and determinants of undernutrition in children under five in Maharashtra, India.Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 randomly selected clusters in two districts of Maharashtra state, India. Data were collected through house to house survey by interviewing mothers of under five children. Total 2929 mothers and their 3,671 under five children were covered. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify the determinants of child nutritional status seperately in urban and rural areas. Results The mean age of the children was 2.38years (±SD 1.365) and mean age of mothers was 24.25(± SD6.37) years.Overall prevalence of stunting among children under five was 45.9 %, wasting was 17.1% and 35.4% children were underweight.Prevalence of wasting, stunting and underweight were more seen in an urban slum than a rural area.In the rural areas exclusive breast feeding(p<0.001) and acute diarrhea (p=0.001)in children underfive were associated with wasting, children with birth order 2 or less than 2 were more affected by stunting and exclusive breast feeding (p<0.05) and low maternal education were associated with underweight.Whereas in the urban slums exclusive breast feeding(p<0.05) was associated with wasting, sex of the child (p<0.05) and type of family(p<0.05)were associated with stunting,and low income of the family(p<0.05) was associated with underweight.Conclusion Factors like sex of the child, birth order,exclusive breast feeding ,economic status of the family, type of family,acute diarrhea and maternal education have influence on nutritional status of the child. Improvement of maternal education will improve the nutritional status of the child. Strategies are needed to improve the economic status of the community.The trial registration-This article is part of baseline data of the project, hence not related to trial registration. After baseline data principal investigator had done trial registration retrospectively.

PURPOSE

Lovastatin is an important medicine and it shows a significant effect against glucocorticoid-induced necrosis of the femoral head. This study aimed to investigate the effect of lovastatin on preventing necrosis of the femoral head of by serum metabolomics strategy.

METHODS

Adult healthy adult Japanese white rabbits were divided into three groups: control group, model group and drug group. The pathologic changes of femoral head were assessed with magnetic resonance imaging and microscope. Metabolomics based on UHPLC-MS/MS was used to analyze the collected serum sample. Data were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares-discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). All potential metabolites were identified by comparing with HMDB database, metlin database, lipid maps and chemspider database.

RESULTS

11 potential biomarkers were noted and identified as potential biomarkers. The change of biomarkers suggested that lovastatin on preventing necrosis of the femoral head may affect glycerophospholipid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, alpha-Linolenic acid metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism.

CONCLUSION

The study suggested that lovastatin could prevent the glucocorticoid-induced necrosis of the femoral head of rabbits. The possible reasons were closely associated with adjusting the lipid metabolism, inhibiting adipogenesis and delaying the osteocyte apoptosis.
Person-Centred, Occupation-Based Intervention Program Supported with Problem-Solving Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Ağce Zeynep Bahadır , Ekici Gamze
Published: July 2020

Background: Individuals with diabetes mellitus have difficulty solving problems in meaningful occupations and have similar difficulties with self-care regimens. We examined the effects of an occupation-based intervention supported with problem-solving therapy in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus on participation in and satisfaction with meaningful occupations, diabetes-related psychosocial self-efficacy, preferred coping strategies and individual well-being. Methods: This study was planned as a single-blind, randomised controlled study with a 3-month follow-up involving sixty-seven adults with type 2 diabetes. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Diabetes Empowerment Scale, Brief COPE and five-item World Health Organisation Well-Being Index were used. This programme included evaluations, diabetes education, and problem-solving therapy. The intervention was conducted for six weeks, and each weekly session lasted approximately 60 minutes. Differences between groups were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Friedman test was used to calculate group-time interaction differences (i.e., baseline, after six weeks and after three months). Results: All participants identified the most significant occupational performance problems in self-care as personal care. Significant improvement was reported in the intervention group compared to the control group regarding participation in meaningful occupation, satisfaction with performance, psychosocial self-efficacy, and well-being results (p<0.001) after the programme and three months of follow-up. Participant use of effective coping strategies, active coping and acceptance strategies, and self-efficacy, as revealed by the results, suggested improvement in favour of the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusions: Occupation-based problem-solving therapy encourages participation in meaningful occupations and improves psychosocial self-efficacy, effective coping styles, and well-being in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Problem-solving therapies that incorporate individuals’ priorities via meaningful occupation can be used to lead to a meaningful and quality life for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: The only curative treatment for most esophageal cancers is radical esophagectomy. Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) aims to reduce postoperative morbidity, but is not yet widely established. Linear stapled anastomosis is a promising technique for MIE because it is quite feasible even without robotic assistance. Aim of the present study is to compare total MIE with linear stapled anastomosis to open esophagectomy (OE) with circular stapled anastomosis with special regard to postoperative morbidity in an expertise-based randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods/design: This superiority RCT compares MIE with linear stapled anastomosis (intervention) to OE with circular stapled anastomosis (control) for Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. It was initiated in February 2019 and recruitment is expected to last for 3 years. For inclusion, patients must be 18 years of age or more with a resectable primary malignancy in the distal esophagus. Participants with tumor localizations above the azygos vein, metastasis or infiltration into adjacent tissue will be excluded. In an expertise-based approach the allocated treatment will only be carried out by the single most experienced surgeon of the surgical center for each respective technique. The sample size was calculated with 20 participants per group for the primary endpoint postoperative morbidity according to comprehensive complication index (CCI) within 30 postoperative days. Secondary endpoints include anastomotic insufficiency, pulmonary complications, other intra- and postoperative outcome parameters such as estimated blood loss, operative time, length of stay, short-term oncologic endpoints, adherence to a standardized fast-track protocol, postoperative pain, and postoperative recovery (QoR-15). Quality of life (SF-36, CAT EORTC QLQ-C30, CAT EORTC QLQ-OES18) and oncological outcomes are evaluated with 60 months follow-up. Discussion: MIVATE is the first RCT to compare OE with circular stapled anastomosis to total MIE with linear stapled anastomosis exclusively for intrathoracic anastomosis. The expertise-based approach limits bias due to heterogeneity of surgical expertise. The use of a dedicated fast-track protocol in both OE and MIE will shed light on the role of the access strategy alone in this setting. The findings of this study will serve to define which approach has the best perioperative outcome for patients requiring esophagectomy.
