Patrimonialização do sistema agrícola tradicional quilombola do Vale do Ribeira-SP
Authors: Martins De Sousa Denise
Published: July 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir e analisar o processo de reconhecimento do Sistema Agrícola Tradicional (SAT) das Comunidades Quilombolas do Vale do Ribeira como patrimônio cultural imaterial brasileiro e os seus desdobramentos atuais. O estudo parte do reconhecimento do SAT em questão, enquanto patrimônio da cultura imaterial, e como isso afeta diretamente o modo de vida dessas comunidades quilombolas. A pesquisa pautou-se no Dossiê elaborado pelo Instituto Socioambiental (Isa) na construção de referências para o reconhecimento do SAT quilombola, material esse que tem por base metodológica o Inventário Nacional de Referências Culturais (INRC) para o Registro de Bens Culturais de Natureza Imaterial, elaborado pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (Iphan), além de autores que trabalham com o campo do patrimônio, cultura, memória e comunidades quilombolas. Tal debate acerca da patrimonialização das roças tradicionais se coloca como fundamental, ao aprofundar a discussão sobre o tema, assim como, para a visibilidade e salvaguarda dos bens da cultura imaterial das populações subalternas como indígenas e negros, ao mesmo tempo que potencializa ações para resistir a pressões e ao risco de desaparecimento de suas culturas e suas práticas sociais relacionadas no cotidiano à natureza.

Authors: KIZILASLAN Nazlı , KOZLU Düriye
Published: July 2021

Bilgisayar bilimi ve teknolojisinin hızla gelişmesiyle birlikte, sanat alanında devrim niteliğinde değişimler yaşanmıştır. Günümüzün arka planı olarak dijital çağda, geleneksel sanat yapıtları dijital sanat formları olarak halka arz edilmektedir. Bu inşa konsepti gelişim aşamasında olsa da dijital teknolojiler günümüz sanatı içerisinde yaygın biçimde kullanılmaya devam etmektedir. Diğer yandan ortaya çıkan ürünlerin sanatsal olarak anlamlandırılması ve sınıflandırılması, her geçen gün giderek daha da güçleşmektedir. Bu bağlamda sanal ortamlarda, dijital veriler kullanılarak geleneksel sanatların yeniden tasarlanmasını olumlu karşılayanlar olduğu gibi, geleneksel sanatlar alanında bozucu, yıkıcı, özden uzaklaştırıcı bir eylem olarak yorumlayanların da olması yeni tartışmaları da ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı teknolojinin ve dijitalleşmenin geldiği noktada yeni sanatsal yaklaşımların geleneksel sanatlara ve özelde Türk sanatlarına nasıl yansıdığını ele almaktır. Geleneksel sanatların dijital ortamlarda, teknolojik veriler kullanılarak yeniden tasarlanması, bu sanatların geleceğe aktarılabilmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışma dijital sanatla ilgilenen Türk sanatçıların eserleri ile sınırlandırılmış nitel bir çalışma olup, veriler, makale, kitap ve sergi tasarımları üzerinden toplanmıştır. Türk sanatlarından ebru sanatı, hat sanatı, tezhip sanatı ve minyatür sanatı üzerine, tanım, tarih ve bilgilendirmeler yapılarak, dijitalleşmenin ve teknolojinin tasarımsal açıdan bu sanat dallarına etkisi, sanatçılar ve eserleri üzerinden incelenmiştir.
Riesgos laborales en una ocupación altamente feminizada: atención sanitaria y socioasistencial en residencias de la tercera edad
Authors: Agra Viforcos Beatriz
Published: July 2021

El perfil profesional de cuantos prestan servicios en residencias de la tercera edad es muy variado. Ahora bien, aun cuando todos desempeñan labores de la máxima importancia para el funcionamiento de estos centros, algunas de las áreas funcionales implicadas están más estrechamente vinculadas al cuidado directo de los ancianos ingresados; en concreto, los trabajos sanitarios y socioasistenciales, desarrollados por médicos, psicólogos, fisioterapeutas, enfermeros, terapeutas ocupacionales, trabajadores sociales, técnicos de actividades socioculturales o gerocultores. Se trata, con carácter general, de ocupaciones muy feminizadas y que aparentemente seguirán siéndolo en un futuro próximo, dado el desigual porcentaje de mujeres y hombres en los estudios oficiales asociados a la prestación de estos servicios.

Los trabajadores empleados en estos centros (mayoritariamente trabajadoras, según consta) disfrutan de la protección proporcionada por la normativa de prevención de riesgos laborales, incluidas las previsiones al respecto establecidas a través de la negociación colectiva, cuyos resultados ofrecen interesantes disposiciones. Sirva de muestra el extenso capítulo incluido en el Convenio marco estatal aplicable al sector.

La operatividad de esta amplia regulación habrá de servir al objetivo último de salvaguardar la seguridad y salud laboral de estos trabajadores, que en su actividad se enfrentan a múltiples riesgos, entre los que destaca una amenaza “estrella” que alcanza a la totalidad del personal de centros de atención a personas mayores: el psicosocial, en general, y el burnout y la violencia, en particular. Este riesgo es transversal, por lo que, sin perjuicio de las diferencias de nivel que pueda presentar, admite un análisis global. Un poco más acotado se presenta otro de los peligros con mayor trascendencia en este ámbito, el biológico (especialmente destacado en el vigente contexto de pandemia por COVID-19), que puede incidir especialmente en aquellos trabajadores que mantienen relación directa con los usuarios. En fin, ningún análisis en la materia puede obviar la posible incidencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos, que como problema específico de las residencias se vincula de forma singular con funciones muy concretas: la movilización de personas dependientes, que debería acometerse reduciendo al máximo los levantamientos manuales y optando siempre por instrumentos mecánicos o electrónicos de ayuda.
Empleados de hogar y su protección desde la seguridad social: una situación aún deficitaria
Authors: Gómez García Francisco Xabiere
Published: July 2021

La actual situación pandémica ha mostrado en su justa medida la importancia del trabajo de cuidados y de las demás tareas que se realizan en el sector del empleo doméstico, pero también la frágil situación laboral y económica de gran parte de las personas que se dedican a esta actividad.

Casi una década después de la integración en el Régimen General de la Seguridad Social de las personas que prestan servicios en el empleo del hogar, se presenta un buen momento para hacer balance y, sobre todo, para señalar ciertas situaciones que todavía demandan una mejora.

Bien es cierto que ha habido mejoras sustanciales respecto de la situación previa a las reformas de 2011, pero causa sonrojo comprobar como todavía no se ha puesto fin a alguno de los mandatos transitorios que se establecieron para hacer confluir las normas de este sector con la regulación general en materia de Seguridad Social. 

Cuestión aparte es que se aún no se haya ratificado el Convenio 189 de la OIT, lo que permite mantener a este colectivo de personas trabajadoras, en su mayor parte mujeres, alejado de unas debidas prestaciones por desempleo, siendo este uno de los hechos que han emergido ante la urgencia de una crisis sanitaria y sus repercusiones laborales y económicas, hasta el punto de que el Gobierno español se ha visto obligado a poner en marcha un subsidio extraordinario de desempleo.
Teacher Professionalism in Light of Biometric Controls on Teacher Mobility and Autonomy
Authors: Knott David
Published: July 2021

In this paper, I investigate the introduction of biometric technology, specifically fingerprint scanners, for the purposes of managing faculty members’ working hours at a higher education institution (HEI) located in the Middle Eastern Gulf States. Utilizing semi-structured interviews to collect qualitative data, three expatriate teachers of English discussed their experiences before and after management installed the fingerprint scanners, discussing the influence such a change has on their professional identities and the additional impacts on their teaching, their identification with the institution, and the overall culture of the HEI. The results show that the existence of the fingerprint scanners adversely affects the teachers’ professionalism, but the greater issue for the participants is the dynamic between faculty and management: in this case, characterized by one-directional communication from the administration and a lack of voice for teachers in decision-making.
Understanding the Stigma and Feasibility of Opening a Safe Injection Facility in Baltimore City: A Qualitative Case Study
Authors: Dupree Timothy , Wood Caroline , Brace Andrea
Published: July 2021

Supervised injection facilities (SIFs) are medically supervised facilities designed to provide a hygienic environment in which drug users can consume illicit drugs intravenously. SIFs can be cost saving, help to reduce transmission of disease, and decrease drug overdoses. There are no SIFs in the United States. In this study we used a multiple case study design to understand the stigma surrounding the use of a SIF and the feasibility of implementing the drug prevention strategy in Baltimore City by comparing experiences with opening a SIF in Sydney, Australia. We interviewed one healthcare worker at the Sydney SIF and ten community stakeholders in Baltimore City. Interviewees were asked about community stigma of SIFs, drug use, and feasibility of opening a SIF in Baltimore City. Six overarching themes were established including lack of trust, lack of public education, fear of police, concern about efficacy of harm reduction programs, drug user stigma, and concerns about implementation. Findings suggest that stigma surrounding drug use and drug users is the most important aspect in shaping the participant's varied perceptions of SIFs. Participants believed that for any change to occur, there must be multi-tiered collaboration at the level of government, healthcare, community, and law enforcement.
I’m More Than a Farmer’s Wife
Authors: Munz Stevie
Published: July 2021

Women have always contributed to family farming operations; however, their labor was largely positioned as “women’s work” and ignored as contributing to the economics of the farming enterprise. Through examining the stories of farmers’ wives, this essay examined how the gender division of work and the ideology of domesticity silenced women’s contributions to family farming operations. Through oral history interviews and thematic analysis, this research project presents stories from two farmers’ wives (Annie and Belle) from western Illinois. The resultant analysis reveals that Annie and Belle labored on their family farming operations for most of their lives.

Published: July 2021

Etnobiologi merupakan salah satu bidang ilmu biologi yang dapat diartikan sebagai evaluasi ilmiah terhadap pengetahuan penduduk tentang biologi, termasuk didalamnya pengetahuan tentang tumbuhan (botani), hewan (zoologi) dan lingkungan alam (etnoekologi). Etnobiologi merupakan subdisiplin ilmu yang relatif baru. Namun etnobiologi telah berkembang dengan pesat. Kajian etnobiologi telah menjadi suatu lintas disiplin ilmu yang khas dan luas, baik secara teori maupun praktik. Etnobiologi saat ini tidak lagi sekedar mengkaji aspek-aspek biologi atau sosial masyarakat secara parsial, melainkan kajian yang bersifat holistik, yakni kajian aspek-aspek sosial penduduk yang terintegrasi dengan sistem ekologi. Dalam mengkaji pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan sumberdaya alam seperti tumbuhan, satwa dan ekosistem lokal yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat tempatan, umumnya menyangkut aspek-aspek sistem sosial dan ekosistem yang terintegrasi. Misalnya menyangkut factor-faktor pengetahuan lokal, pemahaman, kepercayaan, persepsi dan worldview, bahasa lokal, pemilikan/penguasaan sumberdaya lahan, system ekonomi dan teknologi, institusi sosial serta aspek-aspek ekologis seperti biodiversitas, pengelolaan adaptif, daya lenting dan penggunaan sumberdaya alam berkelanjutan. Salah satu masyarakat tempatan Indonesia adalah masyarakat Kerinci yang tinggal di Kabupaten Kerinci Provinsi Jambi. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengulas tentang integrasi etnobologi sebagai bentuk pengetahuan lokal masyarakat Kerinci terhadap sumberdaya alam hayati beserta eksositemnya dengan konservasi sebagai bentuk pengetahuan modern.Adapun metode penulisan dilakukan dengan cara kualitatif (etnografi).  Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat Kerinci telah memiliki pengetahuan yang baik terhadap sumberdaya alam hayati dan ekosistem yang ada di sekitar mereka, dan dari hasil penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan yang mereka miliki telah terintegrasi dengan konservasi modern.
DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE PRACTICES IN ECE IN BOTSWANA: A MYTH OR REALITY?
Authors: Mswela N. B.
Published: July 2021

Globally, Early Childhood Education (ECE) has been governed by National Association of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). This organisation concerned about the welfare and education of young children (0-8years) produced guidelines for practitioners and all involved in the teaching of young children on how best to teach and educate young children. These guidelines state that children need to be taught content that is developmentally appropriate. This means that content should be designed to suit the age, individual nature of the child as well as the culture of the child. While Botswana has taken bold steps in providing ECE to children who would not have been able to enrol in ECE one wonders whether the provision afforded meets the requirement of providing these children with Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) as mandated by NAEYC. The absence of such practices may impact on the learning of young children. This paper argues for the importance of the DAP practices in the current ECE provision. It is suggested that the DAP can provide children with quality education that they deserve; it can also allow children to learn at their own pace. The absence of such a practice can impact the quality of ECE consequently impacting on the proper development of children holistically. Data collection and analysis used mixed methods being qualitative and quantitative. Questionnaires and interviews were uses as data collection instruments. A total of 15 questionnaires were distributed to ECE teachers in the Greater Gaborone Zone of which 11 were returned. A total of 11 interviews were conducted. The participants were mostly women with a few men.

INFLUENCE OF THE USAGE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION
Authors: Igboke Stephen A. , Olom Patricia Akwaya
Published: July 2021

The study investigated the influence of the usage of social networking sites on academic performance of students in Entrepreneurship Education. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population consisted of 120 students (60 males and 60 females) from University of Calabar in Nigeria. A questionnaire with a-4-point rating scale was used to elicit responses from the respondents. The instrument was tested for reliability using Cronbach Alpha, and it yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.89. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and t-test to test the hypotheses at a confidence level of 0.05. The findings from the study revealed that the motives of students using social networking sites include: connecting with family and friends; searching for new friends; online news; entertainments; information sharing, chatting, downloading music and movies and searching for study materials. It was also found that the usage of social networking sites had strong positive influence on the students. Similarly, the test of hypotheses indicates that there is significant difference in the motive of using Social Networking Sites (SNSs) by male and female students in Entrepreneurship Education. Besides, it was found that there is a significant difference in the opinion of male and female respondents on the influence of social networking sites usage on the academic performance of male and female students in Entrepreneurship Education. The implication of the study is that social networking sites could be used as educational resource in order to improve academic performance of both male and female students. However, usage of the networking sites may also influence academic performance negatively. Teachers and counselors need to particularly take notice of this for necessary remedial actions. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Universities and lectures in particular should adopt the usage of social networking sites to enhance teaching and learning in Entrepreneurship Education and other related disciplines.

POLYEL - COMPOUND WITH ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES
Authors: ȘTEFÎRȚĂ Anastasia , BULHAC Ion , COROPCEANU Eduard , BRÎNZĂ Lilia
Published: July 2021

A new complex compound, Polyel, which contains thiourea, macro- and microelements in the form of salts and coordination complexes, as well as vitamins, was obtained and tested. Biological tests were performed in laboratory experiments and in the vegetation complex of the Institute of Genetics, Physiology and Plant Protection. As subjects of investigations served the plants Glycine max (Merr) cultivars L. ‘Deia’, ‘Moldovița’, and ‘Enigma’ varieties, grown in the Mitcherlih vegetation pots with a volume of 40 kg soil and exposed to the drought stress at the phase "flowering - pods formation”. The beneficial effect of Polyel on antioxidant protection systems by reducing the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and intensifying the activity of antioxidant protection enzymes has been established. Polyel has been shown to be one of the new biologically active chemicals that can be used in agriculture to reduce the negative impact of oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The use of Polyel as a physiologically active substance (PAS) with antioxidant proprieties for pre-treatment of seeds and foliar apparatus is much more effective under moderate drought conditions.
Berbelanja Melalui Jasa Titip Perabot di Masa Pandemi Covid-19: Studi Kasus @jastipbyarumi
Authors: Jannah Musdalifa Tul
Published: July 2021

In the digital era, deposit service (jastip) which were previously carried out offline, are now also developing and can be done by online and become a very promising business. In Indonesia, the term jastip by shopping online is starting to be widely known by the wider community, especially for those who use social media, such as Facebook. This business benefits from a predetermined additional fee for each consumer ordered goods, so those who order goods do not need to go to the store to buy goods or leave the house. Buying goods online through jastip has become increasingly popular during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially since the government launched large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) that limit people's mobility.
This research was conducted on social media, namely Facebook on jastip providers and consumers based on observations on social media, such as Facebook, which showed the widespread purchase of goods through jastip among women in Bulukumba Regency. There are them women involved in this study. Thye are varied based on age (between 23 and 40 years), occupation (five housewives, four entrepreneurs, and jastip provider), and status (nine buyers and a jastip provider).
The results of this study indicate that jastip of Informa products is the choice among mothers who are purchased online through a jastip service provider posted through social media Facebook. Among other jastip items on Facebook, home furnishings (sofa, dining table, patio chairs, etc.) are the most popular items. Model, status display, price, and quality are four main reasons why women choose Informa's jastip products, especially during this Covid-19 pandemic. The increase in the use of jastip during the Covid-19 pandemic is intertwined with an increase in jastip turnover (@jastipbyarumi 9). The reason for the jastip provider (@jastipbyarumi) presenting jastip product is because women in Bulukumba Regency love to shop online, and Informa is the most popular products among women. Thus, this is  seen by jastip provider as a business opportunity, a way of satisfying hobbies, and as a source of income. In promoting jastip, the strategies used by jastip provider are promoting products along with its discounted price, uploading products in stories, and opening social gathering lots. In running such service business, the main capital is not money itself, but most importantly trust, perseverance, and business ethics.

Antecedents of Social Media Advertising Avoidance: An Empirical Study in Pawnbroking Industry
Authors: Pham Van Tuan , Hoang Thi Diep Anh Le , Du Tien Dat , Do Van Dung
Published: July 2021

Purpose - This paper aims to explore antecedents of ad avoidance with the context in the Vietnam pawnbroking industry. Furthermore, the differences in ad avoidance under personal characteristics will firstly appear in this study. Methodology - A qualitative method from 412 social media users was used to test the proposed model. All data were assessed reliability and validity on SPSS version 26 before conducting into CFA and CB-SEM in AMOS software. Findings - The findings indicate that while ad skepticism and perceptions ad as controversial partially mediates the relationship between ad avoidance and its three determinants (Advertising invasiveness, Perceived Value value and Expectation of Negative), perceived space invasiveness has the most potent effect on pawn ad avoidance. Skeptical customers are more likely to avoid pawnbroking advertisements than those who perceive such ads as controversial. The results also show that ethical judgement moderates both the relationship of perceived controversial ads and ad avoidance and the relationship between ad skepticism and ad avoidance. Implications - Social media platform owners were suggested to reinforce their censoring system and advertising placements. Marketers in this study were convinced to generate advertisements with emotional and informative appeals. Besides, appropriate marketing activities, channels, and ad formats with campaigns should be considered strictly. Originality/value - The mediating role of attitude in the relationship between perception and ad avoidance has been firstly affirmed by qualitative data in this study. Interestingly, researchers explored a new variable - Negative eWOM with a medium impact of ad skepticism. Ethical judgement was demonstrated as a drastically important factor in pawnbroking research.

Also detailed geographical analysis of the different production systems will be used to spatially-inform planning decisions for pig farming accounting for the specific health, environment and economical implications of the different pig production systems. Pig farming is very important in Vietnam, esp. In Thai Nguyen city and Northern provinces, pork products are suitable for people's taste. At present, most pig breeds are selected and raised in accordance with local conditions, especially wild boar and hybrids are very popular with people, the demand for products is increasing day by day. Lander et al (2020) pointed Pigs have played a central role in the subsistence and culture of China for millennia. The close relationship between pigs and people began when humans gradually domesticated wild pigs over 8,000 years ago. While pigs initially foraged around settlements, population growth led people to pen their pigs, which made them household trash processors and fertilizer producers. Study results show for instance, For commercial cross-bred wild boar farming, a diet with a protein level of 16-14% and a metabolic energy level of 3000-2900 kcal/kg of feed in the diet for growth and fattening most appropriate, which has both the growth ability of hybrid wild pigs and economic efficiency under semi-wild breeding conditions in Thai Nguyen ecological environment. Last but not least authors present food processing of wild pigs into delicious stir-dried pork.

Introduction: Necrotizing soft tissue infection is a potentially fatal ‘flesh-eating’ disease that requires prompt intervention to save a patient’s life. Identification of parameters that indicate worsening of the disease (predictors of mortality) is an important part in management that guides a surgeon towards rapid surgical treatment.Aims & Objectives: This retrospective study aims to identify factors that are associated with mortality in adults with NSTIs. This study also aims to propose solutions for the better management of these infection to improve surgical outcome and survival.Place and duration of study: OPD & Emergency of Surgical Unit I and II of Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore over a period of 10 years between the years 2010 to 2021.Material & Methods: This is a cross-sectional epidemiological, retrospective study conducted on patients presenting in the Outpatients Department, as well as the Emergency of Surgical Unit I and II. A total of 72 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis.Results: Out of 72 patients, 31.94% of patients were receiving some form of immunosuppressive treatment (n=23), out of which 7 patients lost their life (30.43%, p=0.000). There was a preexisting immunosuppressive disease in 48.61% patients (n=35), and in this subset, a total of 10 patients didn’t recover (28.57%, p=0.000). 13 out of 17 patients who died received first debridement after 12 hours from presentation (p=0.021). High mortality was seen in patients who had the presence of shock at hospital admission.Conclusion: Delay in diagnosis and surgical treatment, the presence of shock at admission accompanied by evidence of organ dysfunction, increasing comorbidity index are reasons for the higher mortality seen in these patients of NSTIs. The timing of the first surgery is of the essence thus highlighting the importance of the “Golden Hour” for the Management of NSTIs.

Introduction: Chronic hemodialysis (HD) ends up with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and increased pulmonary hypertension (PHTN). Left to right shunt in dialysis patients due to arterio-venous fistula (AVF) causes chronic volume overload, independent of rise in body water leading to worsening RV overload and RV dysfunction (RVD).

Aims & Objectives: To determine the prevalence of RV dysfunction & pulmonary hypertension and its relationship to the number of dialysis sessions in patients of ESRD.

Place and duration of study: Department of Cardiology & Nephrology, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore for one year from March 2016 - March 2017.

Material & Methods: This cross-sectional analytical hospital based study enrolled 145 Patients of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on regular 4-hours HD sessions at two or more times per week for at least 3 months. Echocardiography

(Echo) with 2-D, M (Motion) Mode & Doppler studies were done. RV dysfunction by TAPSE value less than 15mm & PHTN by Systolic pulmonary artery pressure >35 mm Hg or tricuspid regurgitation velocity (VTR) ?2m/s at rest were noted. Data was analyzed on SPSS version 20.

Results: RV dysfunction was seen in 40.7% (59) of patients and the frequency rose across the 4 dialysis session groups (13.8%, 37.3%, 51.7% & 100%, p<0.001). PHTN was observed in 44.1% of the patients and the prevalence progressively increased across the groups (17.2%, 45.1%, 53.3% & 80.01%, p<0.003). There was significant association between RVD and PHTN (p=0.011).

Conclusion: We observed positive correlation between RV dysfunction and PHTN with total   number of hemodialysis   sessions. Early detection of sub-clinical RV dysfunction may improve mortality and morbidity by optimizing treatment options.
Investigating the Ethics of DNA Collection by CODIS
Authors: Subramanian Tanay , Kerr Alicia
Published: July 2021

America's criminal justice system has experienced controversy for decades and it seems as if the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), an FBI criminal justice database that stores the DNA profiles of millions of Americans, is a major contributor to it. Due to CODIS, an individual’s DNA is collected and permanently stored upon arrest, resulting in major red flags like privacy violations and marginalization. However, there are potential solutions - although each has its drawbacks - to this problem, in order of increasing efficacy: mandating the DNA collection of all Americans to alleviate biases, adopting a solely fingerprint-based system as forensic evidence, and terminating CODIS entirely.
The Effects of Image Augmentation on Efficiency of a Convolutional Neural Network of a Self-Driving Car

Published: July 2021

The objective of this paper was to study the effectiveness of image augmentation techniques in training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) of a self-driving car and identify the most suitable form of image augmentation technique, using the Udacity Car Simulator. Firstly, a dataset of augmented and non-augmented images from a training track, consisting of left-, right-, and front-facing views from the car cameras was created. Various image augmentation techniques were used: zoom, brightness, pan, flip, random (augments the image by arbitrarily choosing a technique from the previous four), and no augmentation. Secondly, training datasets consisting of the aforementioned images and a log of car turning angles, throttle, and brake were built. The final training datasets were then used with NVIDIA training method to train different CNN. The different trained networks generated steering commands from the front-facing camera of the simulation and test track had no effect on the generalization of the CNN. Lastly, different trained networks were used on the test track of Udacity Car Simulator to calculate the following variables: distance travelled, and number of crashes made by the car. After these values were acquired, an efficiency analysis was performed. The results suggested augmentation of training data is a crucial factor when it comes to the process of generalizing a model to perform tasks. Random augmentations performed the best, but a combination of flip and brightness augmentations performed equally efficiently.
Reduction Mammoplasties in Adolescents: Examining Motivations and Resources Available to Patients
Authors: Joo Caroline , Gil Stacy , Clark Virginia
Published: July 2021

Women who have abnormally large breasts often choose to undergo reduction mammoplasty, also known as breast reduction surgery. There have been many studies examining the psychological and medical reasons underlying why adult women seek such an operation as well as its postoperative effects. However, adolescents with enlarged breasts lack the knowledge and institutional support for their operations. This paper will examine the existing literature on adolescent reduction mammoplasties and comment on the lack of infrastructure and support for patients and their families.
The Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis: A New Direction in Research on Depression
Authors: Chen Emma , Clark Robert E.
Published: July 2021

Depression is a global health crisis that becomes increasingly urgent as depression rates continue to rise. While impressive progress has been made in understanding and treating depression, we face many more unknowns, and existing treatment options are not effective for all patients and all depressive episodes. In recent years, the microbiota-gut-brain axis has emerged as a promising research direction as increasing evidence shows the gut microbiota and the brain to be closely linked. This review presents the most compelling evidence for a bidirectional relationship between the gut microbiota and the brain, zooms in to examine putative neural, neuroimmune, neuroendocrine, and neurometabolic mechanisms involved in bottom-up communication, reviews existing evidence for probiotics, and discusses challenges and future directions of the field. Further research on the microbiota-gut-brain axis could provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis of depression and reveal opportunities for novel preventions and treatments.

Published: July 2021

This article aims to statistically analyze misinformation regarding dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on the internet and discuss common trends amongst falsities. The internet is the most common source of medical information and is largely used by the general public to seek information about a condition/treatment. Dementia is one of the most searched conditions across online platforms. AD is the most common cause of dementia in the US and accounts for 75% of dementia cases. As the prevalence of AD increases, more patients turn to the media to seek information about its implications and treatments. With the increasingly important role that media plays in the field of medicine, families need to be aware of potential sources of misinformation. This paper analyzes one hundred total sources, then categorizes each source into one of three groups (with varying degrees of falsities): misleading, partially misleading, and reliable. The sources were collected using the keywords “Alzheimer’s disease” and included 50 videos from YouTube and 25 recommended sources from Google and Firefox respectively (Google and Firefox are some of the most used web browsers in the USA). Subsequently, a misinformed source was thematically classified based on the type of misinformation found. To verify results, all sources were reviewed by a senior geropsychiatric consultant from London, who specializes in dementia care/treatment. [Further elaborated in ‘methods’ section]

 

The results indicate that there is systematic misinformation on the internet. It highlights the importance of patient awareness towards this issue. On this basis, it should be recommended that provider’s offices alert their patients of this problem.

Kebijakan politik dalam pendidikan, seperti kewajiban belajar telah lahir di dalamnya baik Eropa atau Amerika Serikat dan Jepang setelah lahirnya demokrasi dalam kehidupan abad ke-19. Sementara itu, tidak mungkin bisa dikembangkan tanpa adanya anggota cerdas. Anggota yang paling cemerlang pun hanya bisa melalui pendidikan terbentuk. Pendidikan secara langsung maupun tidak langsung dipengaruhi oleh politik, baik dalam konteks makro dan mikro. Pendidikan dan integrasi politik bersifat jamak. Sedangkan melalui pendidikan dapat membentuk individu-individu yang berpartisipasi dalam kehidupan politik.
