Authors: Bollinger Rebecca , Somerville Emily , Keglovits Marian , Hu Yi-Ling , Stark Susan
Published: August 2021

Importance: Informal caregivers often receive limited training and support, especially in providing assistance with toileting, a physically and emotionally demanding activity of daily living. This increases caregivers’ risk for physical injury and burnout and jeopardizes older adults’ ability to age in place.

Objective: To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a toileting intervention using an automated bidet to reduce the amount of physical assistance required from caregivers.

Design: Randomized wait-list control feasibility study.

Setting: Caregiver’s home.

Participants: Ten informal caregivers.

Intervention: An occupational therapy intervention to educate and train caregiving dyads to use an automated bidet system.

Outcomes and Measures: Feasibility was measured in terms of recruitment and retention, bidet installation, ability to operate the bidet, acceptability (a process evaluation), preliminary efficacy (physical barriers and impact on caregiver outcomes of performance, satisfaction, and self-efficacy), and adverse events.

Results: All bidets were installed successfully. All caregivers reported that the intervention made toileting easier and increased their confidence. Physical barriers decreased for the treatment group. The bidet had a large effect on self-efficacy for the treatment group.

Conclusions and Relevance: The results suggest that the automated bidet intervention is feasible and acceptable and can have a positive impact on caregiver outcomes when assisting with toileting.

What This Article Adds: A toileting intervention using an automated bidet is feasible and acceptable for caregivers of older adults and can reduce the amount of physical assistance required from caregivers.

In the production process of fabric, defect detection plays an important role in the control of product quality. Consider that traditional manual fabric defect detection method are time-consuming and inaccuracy, utilizing computer vision technology to automatically detect fabric defects can better fulfill the manufacture requirement. In this project, we improved Faster RCNN with convolutional block attention module (CBAM) to detect fabric defects. Attention module is introduced from graph neural network, it can infer the attention map from the intermediate feature map and multiply the attention map to adaptively refine the feature. This method improve the performance of classification and detection without increase the computation-consuming. The experiment results show that Faster RCNN with attention module can efficient improve the classification accuracy.
Petrochemical Production Big Data and its Four Typical Application Paradigms
Authors: Shaolin Hu , Qinghua Zhang , Naiquan Su , Xiwu Li
Published: August 2021

In recent years, the big data has attracted more and more attention. It can bring us more information and broader perspective to analyse and deal with problems than the conventional situation. However, so far, there is no widely acceptable and measurable definition for the term “big data”. For example, what significant features a data set needs to have can be called big data, and how large a data set is can be called big data, and so on. Although the "5V" description widely used in textbooks has been tried to solve the above problems in many big data literatures, "5V" still has significant shortcomings and limitations, and is not suitable for completely describing big data problems in practical fields such as industrial production. Therefore, this paper creatively puts forward the new concept of data cloud and the data cloud-based "3M" descriptive definition of big data, which refers to a wide range of data sources (Multisource), ultra-high dimensions (Multi-dimensional) and a long enough time span (Multi-spatiotemporal). Based on the 3M description of big data, this paper sets up four typical application paradigms for the production big data, analyses the typical application of four paradigms of big data, and lays the foundation for applications of big data from petrochemical industry.

Published: August 2021

A acessibilidade e a mobilidade são conceitos associados. A primeira pode ser considerada como condição e a segunda como atributo da produção do espaço. Ambos conceitos fundamentam aquele de efeito barreira, ou seja, que indicam a separação ou o rompimento, uma descontinuidade na estrutura urbana provocada pelo sistema de transporte ou que vai influenciá-lo diretamente. Esse fenômeno nas cidades médias possui suas particularidades, dentre as quais destacamos a ocupação do sítio e a estruturação da malha viária. Para tanto, tomamos como referência os estudos das periferias de baixa renda de seis cidades médias – cinco no Estado de São Paulo: Presidente Prudente, Marília, São José do Rio Preto, Ribeirão Preto e São Carlos – e uma no Estado do Paraná – Londrina. Palavras-chaves: mobilidade, acessibilidade, efeito barreira, periferia, cidades médias.

Published: August 2021

O presente estudo buscou avaliar o risco de desertificação nos municípios de Castelo do Piauí e Juazeiro do Piauí, a partir dos parâmetros elencados pelo Diagnóstico Físico Conservacionista (DFC). Os parâmetros do DFC apontaram que a área em estudo possui: 82,6% de seu relevo variando de plano a suave ondulado, 74,7% da área possui alta a muito alta erosividade, 46,2% dos solos apresentam alta erodibilidade, ou seja, alta vulnerabilidade a erosão, 33,1% da área apresenta severidade climática variando de alta a muito alta. Quanto ao NDVI, constatou-se aumento das classes moderadamente alta e moderada de 0,1% e 1,7%entre os anos analisados (1985 e 2009). Os resultados do NDVI sugerem melhorias no ambiente e estágios de sucessão ecológica. O DFC indicou pequeno aumento no risco de desertificação na área que passou de 46.78 em 1985 para 46.86 unidades em 2009, devido aos solos expostos, ao aumento das áreas destinadas aos cultivos temporários e à redução daquelas destinadas aos cultivos permanentes, ao aumento do extrativismo vegetal para produzir carvão vegetal e lenha, ao aumento dos efetivos bovino e ovino. O DFC constituiu uma importante metodologia que permitiu conhecer de forma integrada os elementos da dinâmica da paisagem para fins de planejamento territorial.

Authors: Cavalcanti Calheiros Silvana Quintella , De Freitas Silva Paulo Rogerio
Published: August 2021

Buscamos investigar a influência do turismo na organização territorial do litoral meridional do estado de Alagoas, considerando as alterações e relações espaciais produzidas sobre uma estrutura ambiental e socioeconômica, dominada tradicionalmente pela agricultura da cana-de-açúcar e do coco. A abordagem teórica/conceitual circunscrita a esta investigação está estruturada no tripé Geografia, Análise Ambiental e Geoprocessamento, pela vinculação existente entre a pesquisa ambiental, os Sistemas Geográficos de Informação (SGI) e os princípios científicos que norteiam a ciência geográfica. A ênfase da investigação recai sobre a realização de análises de situações ambientais relevantes identificadas, geograficamente discerníveis sobre o território. Para realização desta pesquisa utilizou-se metodologia de Análise Ambiental desenvolvida pelo Laboratório de Geoprocessamento do Departamento de Geografia da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, que criou o SAGA - Sistema de Análise Geo-Ambiental. Este SGI permite realizar as análises (diagnósticos e prognósticos) sobre uma base de dados georreferenciada, previamente inventariada e armazenada em meio digital. A base de dados constitui-se de diversos mapas temáticos e sobre esta base foram realizadas planimetrias, análises prospectivas (assinaturas ambientais) e evolutivas (monitoramento) e avaliações ambientais das situações ambientais identificadas. Estas avaliações conduziram à delimitação de áreas potenciais conflitantes, entre turismo e a agricultura dominante, demonstrando a ocorrência de situações de disputa territorial por recursos geoambientais, traduzindo-se em novas relações territoriais.

Authors: Lucena Joselma Araújo de , Nóbrega Ranyére Silva , Wanderley Lucas Suassuna de Albuquerque
Published: August 2021

O Núcleo de Desertificação de Cabrobó/PE, na região Nordeste do Brasil, apresenta como principal característica de seu ritmo climático um regime pluvial irregular. Esse fato pode ser explicado por diversos fatores fisiográficos, entre os quais destacam-se as interações entre a atmosfera e os oceanos Pacífico e Atlântico tropicais. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho objetivou investigar a relação entre os índices de Anomalia de Temperatura da Superfície do Mar (ATSM) do oceano Pacífico, do oceano Atlântico Tropical Norte e Sul, e o Índice de Anomalia de Chuva (IAC) no Núcleo de Desertificação de Cabrobó (NDC), no Sertão pernambucano. Foram utilizados dados do período de 1982 a 2016, e analisou-se, através do índice de correlação de Pearson, qual o grau de relação entre os episódios anômalos de TSM e o IAC. Para tanto foi calculado um índice (PA – Pacífico/Atlântico) para as ATSM. Os resultados indicam uma relação significativa do IAC com o índice PA, podendo ser explicada pela interação oceânica e atmosférica por meio dos padrões de teleconexões. Verificou-se também que as ATSM no oceano Pacífico podem atuar de maneira favorável ou desfavorável na intensidade do período chuvoso em associação às ATSM do oceano Atlântico Tropical.

Novas Concepções de Gênero: O homem vaidoso e os tipos de consumidores metrossexuais
Authors: Maximo Aryane Ribeiro , Leite Ramon Silva
Published: August 2021

A pressão por igualdade de gênero impulsionada pelo movimento feminista dos anos 70 levou a novos padrões comportamentais e de consumo, de mulheres e homens, fazendo emergir o termo metrossexual, um consumidor heterossexual mas muito vaidoso. Alguns autores brasileiros pesquisaram este perfil de consumo, mas nenhum deles fez uma distinção de perfil de consumo destes homens segundo a sua identidade de gênero, objetivo desta pesquisa. Foi conduzido um survey, com a obtenção de 212 questionários válidos, que foram tratados por meio da análise de Cluster, pela qual foram definidos seis perfis de homens metrossexuais. Esta análise possibilitou entender que este consumidor demonstra sua vaidade nos extremos, onde o nada vaidoso corrobora com uma visão machista dos papeis masculinos, e aquele que busca pela beleza utópica amplia as concepções de identidade de gênero.

Deep learning for automated river-level monitoring through river-camera images: an approach based on water segmentation and transfer learning
Authors: Vandaele Remy , Dance Sarah L. , Ojha Varun
Published: August 2021

Abstract. River-level estimation is a critical task required for the understanding of flood events and is often complicated by the scarcity of available data. Recent studies have proposed to take advantage of large networks of river-camera images to estimate river levels but, currently, the utility of this approach remains limited as it requires a large amount of manual intervention (ground topographic surveys and water image annotation). We have developed an approach using an automated water semantic segmentation method to ease the process of river-level estimation from river-camera images. Our method is based on the application of a transfer learning methodology to deep semantic neural networks designed for water segmentation. Using datasets of image series extracted from four river cameras and manually annotated for the observation of a flood event on the rivers Severn and Avon, UK (21 November–5 December 2012), we show that this algorithm is able to automate the annotation process with an accuracy greater than 91 %. Then, we apply our approach to year-long image series from the same cameras observing the rivers Severn and Avon (from 1 June 2019 to 31 May 2020) and compare the results with nearby river-gauge measurements. Given the high correlation (Pearson's correlation coefficient >0.94) between these results and the river-gauge measurements, it is clear that our approach to automation of the water segmentation on river-camera images could allow for straightforward, inexpensive observation of flood events, especially at ungauged locations.
“Boundary-Maintenance” or “Boundary-Crossing”? Name-Giving Practices among Immigrants in Germany
Authors: Gerhards Jurgen , Tuppat Julia
Published: August 2021

This study investigates why some immigrants choose names for their children that are common in their home country whereas others opt for names used by natives in the host country. Drawing on the sociological literature on symbolic boundaries, the first strategy can be described as boundary-maintenance whereas the second can be classified as boundary-crossing. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study and applying bivariate and multivariate methods, two broader explanations for name-giving practices are tested: (1) cultural proximity and the permeability of the symbolic boundary between home and host country; and (2) immigrants’ levels of linguistic, structural, social, and emotional integration in the host country. Overall, the theoretical model explains the differences very satisfactorily. Whilst both sets of factors proved relevant to immigrants’ name-giving practices, the immigrants’ level of integration in the host country was less important than the cultural proximity between the origin group and host country.

Hedge effectiveness assesment in non-financial organizations: economic approach
Authors: Pankou P.
Published: August 2021

The existing approaches to assessing the effectiveness of risk hedging with derivatives according to various criteria have been considered. As a result it was found that in economic literature it is not paid enough attention to the development of assessment methodology, which take into account the impact of risk hedging on the overall performance of the organization. In this regard, an economic approach to assessing the effectiveness of hedging has been proposed; it is based on the comparison two basic categories of the efficiency theory – the achieved effects and the associated costs. Within the framework of this approach the effects of hedging that affect the overallresult of the organization’s activities were proposed. Also the costs associated with hedging were systematized into external and internal. The essential content of the proposed economic approach is presented in comparison with other approaches, which contributes to understanding the criteria for assessment hedge effectiveness in each specific case. The application of the proposed economic approach in non-financial organizations will contribute to improving the quality of risk hedging by using performance assessment criteria that meet the current goals of the organization and the requirements of senior management.

Published: August 2021

In the context of the global Chinese language boom, Hungary and Italy are countries along the Belt and Road, and the Chinese language learning in the two countries is in the ascendant. However, the number of small language textbooks published on the market is scarce. For this reason, this article selects Hungarian Chinese Textbook and Italian Learn Chinese to analyze and compare the localization characteristics of phonetic teaching, hoping to provide concrete and substantive suggestions for future revision or compilation of targeted localized Chinese textbooks.

Consumption of oral anticancer drugs in Norway compared by different units of measurements – introduction of new DDDs
Authors: Olsen Kristine , Dansie Live Storehagen , Litleskare Irene , Blix Hege Salvesen
Published: August 2021

Background: Antineoplastic agents (ATC group L01) have not been assigned DDDs due to highly interindividualvariation in dosages. Consumption data has therefore been presented in other measurement units such as grams of active ingredient. However, the protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) are a rapidly growing drug group that was introduced to the market recently and are administered orally in a fixed dose. DDDs were therefore established for the PKIs in 2020. In this study we aim to assess whether the newly assigned DDDs would better express drug utilisation patterns in Norway than the current units of measurement.Methods: Sales data for PKIs (ATC level L01E) by grams, cost, units and packages for 2019 were collectedfrom the Norwegian Drug Wholesales Statistics and data on number of prescriptions and prevalence for 2019were collected from the Norwegian Prescription Database (NorPD). DDDs were calculated by applying thevalues of the new DDDs.Results: The proportions of the different substances varied according to the unit of measurement. DDDs andpackages had the highest similarity and correlated better than grams with the prevalence of use in theNorwegian population. BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors was the largest group accounting for 31% ofthe total consumption (DDD/1000 inhabitants/day) and imatinib was the most sold PKI in all units of measurement except cost.Conclusions: Using an international agreed unit of measurement gives reliability to the study result. Assignment of DDDs to PKIs will improve the quality of drug utilisation studies in this area.
Registry data for use in health technology assessments in Norway – Opportunities and challenges
Authors: Hagen Gunhild , Wisløff Torbjørn
Published: August 2021

Decisions on uptake of medicines and medical devices on health insurance schemes are increasingly based ona health technology assessment (HTA) process. In Norway, the process has included reimbursement of outpatientmedicines for two decades. During the past years, in-patient medicines, medical devices and morerecently vaccines are all included in the HTA system. In the present article, we outline the Norwegian HTAsystem including its central components and partners. HTA as a scientific approach puts evidence on efficacy,safety and value of interventions into a broader perspective, explicitly considering relevant factors, among theselegal, ethical and organisational aspects of the intervention. Although several combinations of aspects arepossible, the most common is an assessment of the relative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of theintervention. Randomised controlled trials have long been considered the mainstay for assessment of clinicaleffectiveness pre-launch, while registry data have been used to inform safety post-lunch, by pharmacovigilance.Recently, we have seen a move towards more use of “real world evidence”, i.e. data from non-RCT sources,mainly from registries. A model-based approach is often used to assess cost-effectiveness, in this context,different types of evidence from different sources are often synthesized. In this paper we describe the centralcomponents of HTA with special emphasis on different observational data sources, such as the unique Norwegianhealth registries. We finally speculate on future directions for use of observational data in HTA, both in aglobal and Norwegian setting.

It is necessary to carry out large observational studies to generate robust evidence about the safety of drugs used during pregnancy. In the Nordic countries, nationwide population-based health registers that document all births and dispensed prescribed drugs are valuable resources for such studies. A common data model (CDM) is a data harmonization and structuring tool that enables a unified and streamlined analytic approach for studies including data from multiple countries or databases. We describe a CDM developed for the Nordic Pregnancy Drug Safety Studies (NorPreSS), including details on data sources and structure of the data tables. We also provide an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the approach (e.g. sharing of data analysis programs versus extra initial work to create CDM datasets from raw data).
South–South Relations in the Era of Far-Right Populism: The Syrian Refugee Crisis on Brazilian Television
Authors: Hassan Waïl S.
Published: August 2021

From the perspective of South–South relations, the dramatic shift in Brazilian politics from Leftist to far-Right governments since 2003 has echoed in popular culture as a national identity crisis. At a time when nationalism and xenophobia are fueled by political rhetoric and a prolonged economic downturn, television melodrama Órfãos da terra (Orphans of the Earth, 2019) depicts the plight of Syrian refugees in Brazil, explaining the humanitarian dimension of the crisis and appealing to the public's moral and religious sentiments. The telenovela also invokes Brazil's history as an immigrant country and the idea of mistura (mixture) as its defining trait. In this way, the telenovela engages in a contest over Brazilian identity by promoting a progressive alternative to the resurgent far-Right ideology. But this alternative betrays a deep-seated Islamophobia that paradoxically brings it closer to its ideological antagonist. An Islamophobic rejection of xenophobia, Órfãos da terra trades the South–South solidarity of the Lula-Dilma era (2003–2016) for a nationalist myth of exceptionalism, in parallel with Bolsonaro's strong U.S. orientation.
Academics Embrace Disruption: Lessons Learned Teaching First Year Law During a Pandemic

Published: August 2021

This study reports on the teaching practices adopted by a cohort of higher education academics for online and remote delivery of first year law units (subjects) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Six academic staff who taught nine units face-to-face in intensive Block mode shifted their teaching online almost overnight, including conducting synchronous face-to-face teaching online. Their interview comments are initially categorised using a SWOT (strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-threats) analysis approach, then further analysed according to the elements in Moore’s transactional distance theory - dialogue, structure and learner autonomy. The study identified that while the unit space on the learning management system with links to resources and readings, scaffolded learning activities, structured interactions with clear instructions and assessments was the greatest asset, it also offered opportunities that were both practical and unexpected. While it gave academics a strong footing to commence their remote teaching, the key weakness was the loss of face-to-face contact, now replaced by Zoom. This posed threats related to learning. The findings offer suggestions and pedagogical interventions that can be applied to modify teaching practices in remote Block delivery in a post-COVID future in teaching first-year law. The research is equally applicable to teaching any discipline online.
