Authors: House Samantha A. , Singh Neetu , Wasserman Jared R. , Kim Youngran , Ganduglia-Cazaban Cecilia , Goodman David C.
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND:

The success of neonatal intensive care in improving outcomes for critically ill neonates led to rapid growth of NICU use in the United States, despite a relatively stable birth cohort. Less is known about NICU use among late-preterm and term infants, although recent studies have observed wide variation in their care patterns. In this study, we measure special care days (SCDs) (intermediate or intensive), length of stay, and readmission rates among low-risk neonates across regions within 2 states.

METHODS:

In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed data from Massachusetts (all payer claims) and Texas (BlueCross BlueShield) from 2009 to 2012. A low-risk cohort was defined by identifying newborns with diagnostic codes indicating a gestational age ≥35 weeks and birth weight ≥1500 g and excluding infants with diagnoses and procedures generally necessitating nonroutine care. Outcomes were measured across neonatal intensive care regions by diagnosis and payer type.

RESULTS:

We identified 255 311 low-risk newborns. SCD use varied nearly sixfold across neonatal intensive care regions. Use was highest among commercially insured Texas infants (8.42 per 100), followed by Medicaid-insured Massachusetts infants (6.67 per 100) and commercially insured Massachusetts infants (5.15 per 100). Coefficients of variation indicated high variation within each payer-specific cohort and moderate to high variation across each condition. No consistent relationship between regional SCD use and 30-day readmissions was identified.

CONCLUSIONS:

Use of NICU services varied widely across regions in this cohort of low-risk infants. Further investigation is needed to delineate outcomes associated with patterns of care received by this population.

Authors: Li Hongqing , Xing Ran , Jiang Lu , Li Chunhua , Xue Bing
Published: December 2020

Transportation has become the world's second-largest energy-consuming sector, yet existing works mainly focus on the macro perspective and the causal relationships with social–economic–environment dimensions, leaving a significant knowledge gap at the household or individual level. Studying household-scale transport energy structure research is of great significance for exploring the driving mechanism of carbon dioxide emissions and promoting sustainable development. This study focuses on the region of the Tibetan Plateau of China. Field-based surveys and semi-structured interviews were conducted to investigate the transport energy consumption of rural households from the perspectives of sub-region (agricultural area, pastoral area, agropastoral area) and income (low-income, lower-middle-income, middle-income, upper-middle-income and high-income). On the basis of 498 samples, detailed energy consumption structures and environmental factors are presented. The authors hope that in the future, there will be more reports on household transport energy in different regions to provide a scientific basis for understanding and promoting household energy transition.
DECISION MAKING ON NITROGEN MANAGEMENT OF OAT (AVENA SATIVA) USING GRAIN YIELD POTENTIAL AND NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCY
Authors: HOCAOGLU Onur , AKCURA Mevlut
Published: December 2020

While oat is a major cold-climate cereal in Marmara region of Turkey, little is known about the nitrogen use efficiencies (NUE) of Turkish oat cultivars. This research aims to evaluate NUE, grain yield, and several agronomic traits of 5 oat cultivars in 5 nitrogen applications doses. Field trials were conducted in the Canakkale, Turkey for two growing seasons where NUE, grain yield, plant height, panicle length, grain number per panicle, and grain weight per panicle were determined. Results of variance analysis indicated statistical significance for year, genotype, N dose, and Genotype x N dose effects for all traits. New oat cultivars (Kahraman, Yeniceri, and Sebat) were found to have higher grain yield and NUE compared to the older cultivars (Chekota and Seydisehir). Grain yield response of each cultivar to the increasing N levels were further investigated with regression analysis and Princial Component Analysis (PCA) Biplot. Results suggested that Kahraman has the highest grain yield potential when Sebat and Yeniceri can be recommended for the higher N doses. We conclude that oat breeding efforts of the last decade may have contributed to higher NUE along with improving grain yield of oat cultivars in Turkey.

Published: December 2020

Wheat (T. aestivum) has a crucial role for human diet especially in developing countries. Changes in precipitation intensity, amounts and patterns restrict wheat growth and productivity under rainfed conditions. Thus, assessment of drought effects during growth stages of wheat on grain yield and quality traits has substantial importance. Grain filling stage, coincides with early spring when the rainfall pattern highly variable, was considered in this study to evaluate effects of drought conditions on yield and quality of 16 wheat genotypes and determine superior varieties. Drought treatment inhibited plant height (5.5 %), 1000 grain weight (9.2 %) and grain yield (17.7 %) while harvest index increased (8.5 %). However, there was no significant effect of drought conditions on grains number spike-1 and spike numbers m-2. Protein content increased (31.6 %) in all genotypes, while the Zeleny sedimentation significantly decreased (8.2 %) with drought treatments during both growing seasons. Cultivars Pandas and Meta had higher grain yield under drought stress in both years whereas Line-28 and Pandas had better quality properties.
¿Qué demonios quieres? Sobre la modificación nominal enfática en (la historia) del español
Authors: Pato Enrique
Published: December 2020

Los interrogativos (o palabras-Q) quién, dónde, cómo, cuándo, por qué, qué y cuál pueden verse modificados por nombres como demonios y carajo(s) y actuar en ese contexto como determinantes. Se ha señalado la importancia de este tipo de sustantivos (wh-the-hell, en inglés) para la teoría del movimiento, denominándolos ‘agresivamente no vinculados al discurso’. Desde distintos marcos teóricos se han estudiado estas estructuras, sobre todo en inglés, chino y japonés. Para el español los estudios específicos (gramaticales o léxicos) sobre estas construcciones siguen siendo muy escasos, de ahí la pertinencia de un trabajo que permita conocer mejor el fenómeno y dar cuenta de los casos donde los interrogativos aparecen como modificadores nominales delante de un nombre de naturaleza enfática en (la historia del) español. En este trabajo me detendré en dar a conocer un caso concreto de fraseología (Qué demonios ~ narices ~ carajos ~ puñetas quieres) para mostrar el tipo de nombres enfáticos que pueden aparecer delante de una palabra-Q en español, qué interrogativos son los más utilizados y qué significado léxico adquiere este tipo de construcción en conjunto, como unidad de sintaxis total o parcialmente fija que es.

Para un estudio semántico y formal de las unidades fraseológicas en las Fábulas de Iriarte
Authors: García Padrón Dolores , Batista Rodríguez José Juan
Published: December 2020

Iriarte, joven canario emigrado a Madrid, publica en 1782 una personalísima colección de fábulas en español, reelaborando el género clásico con nuevos materiales idiomáticos y una vasta variedad métrica que sirven para poner en solfa a los literatos de su tiempo. Un examen atento de las Fábulas irartianas, que destacan por su carácter dialógico y formular, revela y justifica la presencia de todo tipo de unidades poliléxicas: tanto combinaciones preferentes como colocaciones, locuciones y enunciados fraseológicos, unidades a menudo construidas sobre los más diversos locci comunes. Tras exponer los fundamentos teórico-metodológicos semánticos de que partimos, inventariamos, clasificamos y analizamos los distintos tipos de expresiones fijas a la luz de la especial naturaleza de esa obra con la idea de contribuir a un mejor conocimiento de la fraseología histórica española. Palabras clave: Lengua española, fraseología histórica, perspectiva semántica, Fábulas, Iriarte. Iriarte, a Canarian young in Madrid, published a very personal collection of fables in 1782, reworking the classic genre with new language materials and a vast variety of metrics that served to criticize the literary mood of his time. A careful examination of the Irartian Fábulas, which stand out for their dialogical and formulating character, reveals and justifies the presence of all kinds of polylexic units: both preferential combinations and collocations, idioms and proverbial sentences, most of them often built on locci comunes. After exposing our semantic theoretical-methodological principles, we inventoried, classified and analyzed the different types of fixed expressions in the Fábulas with the idea of contributing to a better knowledge of Spanish historical Phraseology.

Published: December 2020

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between dynamic muscular endurance of the hand (according to the tapping test) with
the state of psychophysiological functions of qualified female handball players at different stages of sports training. Diagnostic complex "Diagnostics-1" (MV Makarenko, VS Lyzogub) was used to determine the state of psychophysiological functions of athletes, the maximum rate ofmovement of the brush. Dynamic muscular endurance of the right and left brushs, properties of the nervous system (functional mobility and strength of nervous processes), the effectiveness of sensorimotor activity and the dynamics of nervous processes, the latency period of a complex reaction of choice, the accuracy of the reaction to a moving object were studied in accordance with the purpose of the study. Dynamic muscular endurance of subdominant hand was significantly higher in older female athletes. There is a tendency to increase the dynamic muscular endurance of the dominant hand in older female athletes. The asymmetry according to the indicators of the tapping test between the right and left hand was lower in the older age group than in the younger age group. In general, the results indicate a
higher level of dynamic muscular endurance of both arms in older female athletes, who are more adapted to long-term specific physical activity. That is, the improvement of special training in handball leads to the development of dynamic muscular endurance. This is confirmed by the results of the correlation analysis of the obtained data: dynamic muscular endurance of the subdominant arm was associated with the experience of sports training. The maximum rate of movement of the brush of both hands in the surveyed female athletes was associated with the strength of nervous processes and the accuracy of the reaction to a moving object. The dynamic muscular endurance of the dominant hand' brush was associated with the functional mobility of nervous processes.

Reconciling an Early Nineteenth-Century Rupture of the Alpine Fault at a Section End, Toaroha River, Westland, New Zealand
Authors: Langridge Robert M. , Villamor Pilar , Howarth Jamie D. , Ries William F. , Clark Kate J. , Litchfield Nicola J.
Published: December 2020

The Alpine fault is a high slip-rate plate boundary fault that poses a significant seismic hazard to southern and central New Zealand. To date, the strongest paleoseismic evidence for the onshore southern and central sections indicates that the fault typically ruptures during very large (Mw≥7.7) to great “full-section” earthquakes. Three paleoseismic trenches excavated at the northeastern end of its central section at the Toaroha River (Staples site) provide new insights into its surface-rupture behavior. Paleoseismic ruptures in each trench have been dated using the best-ranked radiocarbon dating fractions, and stratigraphically and temporally correlated between each trench. The preferred timings of the four most recent earthquakes are 1813–1848, 1673–1792, 1250–1580, and ≥1084–1276 C.E. (95% confidence intervals using OxCal 4.4). These surface-rupture dates correlate well with reinterpreted timings of paleoearthquakes from previous trenches excavated nearby and with the timing of shaking-triggered turbidites in lakes along the central section of the Alpine fault. Results from these trenches indicate the most recent rupture event (MRE) in this area postdates the great 1717 C.E. Alpine fault rupture (the most recent full-section rupture of the southern and central sections). This MRE probably occurred within the early nineteenth century and is reconciled as either: (a) a “partial-section” rupture of the central section; (b) a northern section rupture that continued to the southwest; or (c) triggered slip from a Hope-Kelly fault rupture at the southwestern end of the Marlborough fault system (MFS). Although, no single scenario is currently favored, our results indicate that the behavior of the Alpine fault is more complex in the north, as the plate boundary transitions into the MFS. An important outcome is that sites or towns near fault intersections and section ends may experience strong ground motions more frequently due to locally shorter rupture recurrence intervals.

Application Programming Interface (API) for Immunization Information Interoperability
Authors: Arzt Noam
Published: December 2020

Public health agencies established immunization registries - now called Immunization Information Systems (IIS) - to consolidate records across provider locations to support more effective immunization of patients and public health surveillance. While initially collecting data through interactive client-server and then web-based interfaces, IIS now collect the vast majority of their data through automated interfaces to electronic health record (EHR) systems using standard application programming interfaces (API). IIS have sophisticated processing rules for the incoming data to ensure data accuracy and completeness. This paper will review the existing workflow, standards, and processes used by IIS to accept, process, and make immunization data available. This will include a review of emerging standards - Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) - which will likely become dominant over the next few years.
Forced Migration and the Spread of Infectious Diseases
Authors: Ibáñez Ana María , Rozo Sandra , Urbina Maria J.
Published: December 2020

We examine the role of Venezuelan forced migration on the propagation of 15 infectious dis-eases in Colombia. For this purpose, we use rich municipal-monthly panel data. We exploit the fact that municipalities closer to the main migration entry points have a disproportionate ex-posure to infected migrants when the cumulative migration flows increase. We find that higher refugee inflows are associated with increments in the incidence of vaccine-preventable dis-eases, such as chickenpox and tuberculosis, as well as sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS and syphilis. However, we find no significant effects of migration on the propagation of vector-borne diseases. Contact with infected migrants upon arrival seems to be the main driving mechanism.

Published: December 2020

La patología del concreto es el estudio sistemático de los procesos y características de los defectos y daños que afecta la durabilidad del concreto. La albañilería armada tiene como material más utilizado los bloques de concreto, estos bloques tienen una mayor tendencia a absorber agua, lo que puede ocasionar su patología. La principal patología en los bloques de concreto son las fisuras, una de las causas importantes de esta patología es el origen químico, atribuido a los cambios derivados por la hidratación del cemento o la exposición en zonas de atmósfera marina que están afectadas por el aerosol marino, donde existe mayor concentración salina de cloruros y sulfatos, primordialmente si los bloques de concreto presentan alta permeabilidad. Otra anomalía encontrada en los bloques de concreto es la eflorescencia, generalmente ocurre en bloques con mayores poros, ya que están expuestas a una mayor humectación, provocando mayor vulnerabilidad en la estructura. Una de las soluciones más relevantes para reducir la porosidad del bloque de concreto es el uso de nanopartículas idóneos altamente eficientes para la modificación de productos de cementosos. Diferentes estudios han demostrado que al añadir nanoaditivos carbonosos a los materiales cementosos se obtiene una mejora en sus propiedades mecánicas y físicas como mayor resistencia a la compresión y al ataque de agentes agresores, así como a la reducción de la porosidad en el concreto o mortero endurecido. Las nanoplaquetas de remolacha azucarera (BNP) son extraídas de las fibras de este tubérculo que al incluirse a compuestos cementosos, aumentan la cantidad de hidrato de silicato de calcio logrando controlar la resistencia del concreto y detener sus grietas. En esta investigación, se elaboraron experimentalmente bloques de concreto añadiendo aditivo de nanoplaquetas de remolacha azucarera para realizar los ensayos de absorción, resistencia a la compresión, y carbonatación en estado endurecido. Los resultados experimentales mostraron que al 0.2% del aditivo de nanoplaquetas de remolacha azucarera, se obtuvo un aumento en la resistencia a la compresión, una disminución en la absorción del agua y una mejora en la reducción de profundidad de carbonatación respecto a un bloque patrón.

Mobile Teacher Professional Development (MTPD): Delving into English Teachers’ Beliefs in Indonesia
Authors: Saiful Jepri Ali
Published: December 2020

In recent years, mobile phones have been used for teacher professional development (TPD). However, the potential use of smartphones, a current-generation of mobile phones, to develop teachers’ pedagogical, social, personal, and professional competences remains underexplored. This mixed methods study, examining the potential use of smartphones for TPD by delving into English teachers’ beliefs, employed a sequential explanatory approach. A quantitative survey was completed by 81 participants, followed by qualitative interviews with 8 selected participants. All the respondents were English teachers in elementary, junior, and senior high schools in 11 provinces in Indonesia. The survey was tested for validity and reliability, and analysed using the descriptive statistics method, while the semi-structured interview was analysed using the content analysis method. Almost all teachers had very favourable and favourable beliefs about the use of smartphones for TPD, perceiving that a smartphone could facilitate the enhancement of their pedagogical knowledge, communication skills, positive characters and English proficiency. Very few teachers had unfavourable beliefs, but among those who did, they believed traditional face-to-face TPD was more beneficial and that smartphones would only lead to addiction. This study recommends that smartphones be optimally applied by English teachers for TPD activities and that governments facilitate such implementation by constructing smartphone TPD models and applications.

The phenomenon of proactive environmental management began in the 1990's where manufacturing industries were aware  the importance of corporate sustainability through sustainable environmental management. Various strategies  can be done in a proactive environmental management. This study emphasized the development of conditions environmental performance companies  in minimizing waste, especially in production process that contains a lot of waste. The company has trying to implement a standardized EMS, through its own sludge wastewater treatment as a raw material for making bricks, while for solid waste (zinc dross and zinc ash), had been sold to external parties from the beginning. There isn’t recycling process, Galva furnace repair and improvement work on the system setting WWT or the WWTP. EMS implementation is strengthened through the acceptance of ISO 14000 in 2007. The condition of  Company's environmental performance related to waste minimization in the galvanizing process before and after implementing EMS was measured using input indicators (material), the input of water and energy use, and output of products in the form of waste (solid or sludge). The result did not correspond quantitatively with the indicators used in ISO 14000. Based on the quantitative result , a company processing  waste , did not change significantly.
The Existence Of Loyalty In Indonesia Ministery Education Regulation On Electronic Text Book. (Study Of Vocational High School’s Electronic Text Book In Bandung)*)

Published: December 2020

The Indonesian government believes that textbooks play a strategic role in improving the quality of primary and secondary education (Regulation of the Minister of National Education of the Republic of Indonesia No.11 of 2005). Nevertheless, Abdulkarim (2010) revealed that the quality of school textbooks, either in junior or vocational / high school is very low. The contradiction between Regulation of the Minister of National Education Regulation goal and Abdulkarim (2010), and some previous research, such as Heskett et al. (1997), and Dimitriades (2006) motivates this study to analyze the effect of satisfaction to commitment and loyalty of vocational teachers in Bandung. The results showed that there was no correlation between satisfaction and the commitment and between the commitment and loyalty, but there is a significant direct correlation between satisfaction and loyalty. This shows that users of textbooks as the government policy consumers has loyalty in the sense will do its use continuously, but the loyalty is not based on a commitment, but only based on satisfaction.This is suggests that vocational high school teachers are satisfied with the textbook but don’t want to rely on Regulation of National Education Minister, since commitment is defined by Dwyer et al. (1987), Morgan and Hunt (1994), and Pritchard et al. (1999) as a stable seeking and defensive attitude towards not to change a choice. They are easy to change attitudes through using of Electronic Text Boook (ETB) as teaching materials. The Authors also revealed some limitations and recommendations

En la sociedad se identifican tendencias muy evidentes y el presente trabajo aborda una de estas tendencias. La tendencia referida es aquella que se basa en la sensibilidad de las personas con respecto a los animales traduciéndose en un mayor cuidado para con ellos. Este hecho se traduce en muchos casos en la humanización de los animales que se convierte de manera clara y específica en un especial cariño a los canes y a los gatos, animales domésticos de mayor presencia en los hogares.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui aktivitas peredaman radikal bebas dari minyak atsiri daun nilam (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) yang dibuat dalam sediaan air spray melalui pengukuran parameter stress oksidatif pada tikus yang dipapar asap rokok. Hewan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu tikus (Rattus norvegicus) sebanyak 30 ekor dibagi ke dalam 5 kelompok dimana setiap kelompok terdiri atas 6 ekor tikus. Kelompok 1 (kontrol sehat) diberikan aqua destillata selama 7 hari; kelompok 2 (kontrol negatif) dipapar asap rokok; kelompok 3 (kontrol positif) dipapar asap rokok dan diberikan vitamin C; kelompok 4 dipapar asap rokok dan disemprotkan air spray minyak atsiri; kelompok 5 dipapar asap rokok terlebih dahulu, lalu 10 menit setelah pemaparan asap rokok, tikus disemprotkan air spray minyak atsiri. Perlakuan terhadap hewan uji dilakukan selama 7 hari dan hari ke-delapan dilakukan pengambilan darah untuk pemeriksaan parameter MDA serum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok tikus yang dipapar asap rokok dan disemprotkan spray minyak nilam memiliki kadar malondialdehid serum yang lebih rendah dibandingkan kelompok kontrol negatif. Hal ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa senyawa minyak atsiri daun nilam berpotensi sebagai penangkal radikal bebas asap rokok di udara.
Music to Our Ears: Are Dancers at Risk for High Sound Level Exposure?

Enduring exposure to high sound pressure levels (SPLs) can lead to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). In the performing arts population, NIHL has been studied primarily in the context of sound exposure experienced by musicians and less so by dancers. This research aimed to identify
sound exposure that dancers may experience in some dance classes. Decibel levels were recorded in 12 dance classes (6 ballet, 4 modern, and 1 soft and 1 hard shoe Irish dance) at 8 different studios using the NIOSH SLM app on an iOS smartphone with external microphone. A minimum of five recordings
of each class was measured, each collected on a different day, yielding a total of 114 measurements. Results showed that 20.2% of all recordings exceeded the recommended NIOSH sound exposure limits of both 100% projected daily dose and 85 LAeq. Analysis between styles of dance demonstrated
significantly lower LAeq (p≤0.05) in soft shoe Irish dance compared to ballet (p=0.023), modern (p=0.035), and Irish hard shoe dance (p=0.009). Irish soft shoe dance demonstrated minimal to no risk of high sound exposure. Conversely, 53.25% of ballet, 90.9% of Irish hard shoe dance, and
68.24% of modern recordings exhibited minimal to moderate risk of high sound exposure. Furthermore, we found wide ranges of projected daily noise doses within classes taught by the same teacher. It is recommended that multiple recordings of dance environments be obtained, as a single sound
recording may not accurately represent potential exposure. These findings indicate that dancers of Irish hard shoe, modern, and ballet may benefit from noise intervention such as audiometric testing, noise controls, and hearing protection.

Background Iran was one of the first countries to be affected by COVID-19. Identifying factors associated with the severity of COVID-19 is useful in disease management. This study investigated the epidemiological and clinical features and factors related to severe COVID-19 in Iran's less-privileged area.MethodsIn a multicenter study, all patients admitted to Zahedan University of Medical Sciences hospitals located in southeastern Iran were investigated from February 29 to April 31, 2020. The demographic, epidemiological, and clinical data of patients were extracted from medical records. To explore the risk factors associated with the severity of COVID-19, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used. ResultsAmong the 413 patients, 55.5% were male, and 145 (35.10%) were in severe condition at admission time. Multivariate analysis showed that the adjusted odds of the disease severity increased in patients with older age (OR 3.51; 95% CI, 2.28-5.40), substance abuse (OR 2.22; 95% CI, 2.05-5.78), and at least one underlying disease (OR 3.45; 95% CI, 1.01-1.32).Conclusions COVID-19 was more severe in older patients, patients with a history of substance abuse, and patients with at least one underlying disease. Understanding the factors affecting the disease severity can help for the clinical management of COVID-19, especially in less privileged areas where fewer resources are available.

Physical deconditioning after stroke may induce post-stroke fatigue. However, research on this association is limited. Our primary objective was to investigate the associations of post-stroke fatigue with oxygen uptake (⩒O2) at peak exercise and the time constant of ⩒O2 kinetics (τ⩒O2) at the onset of exercise. The secondary objective was to examine the associations between fatigue and cardiorespiratory variables potentially affecting ⩒O2 during exercise. Twenty-three inpatients from a subacute rehabilitation ward were enrolled in this study. The median (interquartile range) Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) score as a measure of fatigue was 32 (27, 42) points. The FSS score was not associated with ⩒O2 at peak exercise during a symptom-limited graded exercise test (rho = −0.264; p = 0.224), while it was significantly associated with τ⩒O2 during a submaximal constant-load exercise test (rho = 0.530; p = 0.009). A higher FSS score was also significantly correlated with a longer time constant of cardiac output kinetics (rho = 0.476, p = 0.022). These results suggest that the ability of the cardiorespiratory system to adapt to exercise is impaired in individuals with severe post-stroke fatigue. Our findings can contribute to the development of an appropriate rehabilitation program for such individuals.
