This study aims to determine ambulance response time in KubangKerian district, Kelantan, Malaysia using Ambulance Vehicle Locator and Global Integrating System (AVL-GIS) device and the factors associated with delayed response time. This was a 6-months prospective, cross-sectional study conducted at Emergency and Trauma Department, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia. The possible factors identified to have caused delayed ambulance response time from previous literature were included in this study. All prehospital cases from September 2017 until February 2018 attended to by AVL- GIS installed ambulances were included in this study. Data were obtained from the standardized prehospital Proforma forms and extracted from AVL-GIS using iGPS software. Simple and multiple logistic regression tests were used to determine the factors associated to delayed response time. From 505 cases, 75% found to be delayed case meanwhile 25% is non delayed case as defined in study protocol. Further analysis on delayed cases show that call duration, caller type, traffic condition, travelling time and team allocation time were associated with delayed ambulance response time. Evaluation of each component contributing to delayed ambulance response time is needed for intervention to improve prehospital care in the future.

Published: September 2021

Safe Hand hygiene practice is considered the most essential component of patient safety. Especially when it comes to health professionals; students are exposed to their clinical practice in the first years of their education. This accelerates the chances of getting infection via cross-transmission of hands through the healthcare worker to the patient is the most common quantitative cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey was carried out to investigate the level of knowledge, practices, and attitude of Hand hygiene among university nursing and optometry undergraduate students in their final year of training. A total of one hundred and forty-three subjects took part in the survey of which 73 nursing students and 70 optometry students. Fisher’s exact test was applied to test the level of Knowledge on practice and attitude. And the correlation coefficient r=-1 to +1   with P>0.05 was obtained. To add, using an observational checklist will be the ideal way to assess the hand hygiene practice in the clinical area. Moreover, add a mandatory component as patient safety into the curricula of the undergraduate students of allied health will enhance patient safety more effectively.

Published: September 2021

The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has been associated with a broad range of human behaviors, particularly in the domain of social cognition, and is being discussed to play a role in a range of psychiatric disorders. Studies using the Reading The Mind In The Eyes Test (RMET) to investigate the role of OT in mental state recognition reported inconsistent outcomes. The present study applied a randomized, double-blind, cross-over design, and included measures of serum OT. Twenty healthy males received intranasal placebo or OT (24 IU) before performing the RMET. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses showed that contrary to previous studies (Domes et al., 2007; Radke & de Bruijn, 2015), individuals performed worse in the OT condition compared to the placebo condition (p = 0.023, Cohen’s d = 0.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.08, 1.02], BF10 = 6.93). OT effects did not depend on item characteristics (difficulty, valence, intensity, sex) of the RMET. Furthermore, OT serum levels did not change after intranasal OT administration. Given that similar study designs lead to heterogeneous outcomes, our results highlight the complexity of OT effects and support evidence that OT might even interfere with social cognitive abilities. However, the Bayesian analysis approach shows that there is only moderate evidence that OT influences mind-reading, highlighting the need for larger-scale studies considering the discussed aspects that might have led to divergent study results.

Interest in unintended discrimination that can result from implicit attitudes and stereotypes (implicit biases) has stimulated many research investigations. Much of this research has used the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to measure association strengths that are presumed to underlie implicit biases. It had been more than a decade since the last published treatment of recommended best practices for research using IAT measures. After an initial draft by the first author, and continuing through three subsequent drafts, the 22 authors and 14 commenters contributed extensively to refining the selection and description of recommendation-worthy research practices. Individual judgments of agreement or disagreement were provided by 29 of the 36 authors and commenters. Of the 21 recommended practices for conducting research with IAT measures presented in this article, all but two were endorsed by 90% or more of those who felt knowledgeable enough to express agreement or disagreement; only 4% of the totality of judgments expressed disagreement. For two practices that were retained despite more than two judgments of disagreement (four for one, five for the other), the bases for those disagreements are described in presenting the recommendations. The article additionally provides recommendations for how to report procedures of IAT measures in empirical articles.

Stroke represents the main cause of disability in adults. The disability is caused by motor or sensitive impairment, loss of interjoint coordination, spasticity and pathological synergies that occur after stroke. The new directions in motor rehabilitation point at facilitating neuroplasticity by multimodal stimulation, like virtual reality, or by active assistance in task specific training, like rehabilitation robots associated or not with functional electrical stimulation (FES). The aim of this article is, on one hand, to analyze the way in which the existing robots face the biomechanical challenges of modeling the upper limb`s movements and, on the other hand, to evaluate the efficiency of robotics in rehabilitation, by pointing out the results of the existing clinical trials. Finally, possible directions for future research are discussed.

Published: September 2021

The features of the vasoregulating function of the vascular endothelium have been determined and correlations between haemodynamic and metabolic indices have been established in patients with coronary heart disease associated with type II diabetes mellitus. In patients with coronary heart disease associated with type II diabetes mellitus in comparison with patients without an association with diabetes mellitus significantly higher indices of the content of the blood fibrinogen the diameter of the brachial artery (after decompression) were observed. Direct correlations between fasting glycemia and microalbuminuria and reverse correlations with the endothelial dependent vasodilatation (EDVA), fasting glucemia, the blood content of glycosylated hemoglobin and very low density lipoproteins have been found.
Estimation of bone mineral density and algorithms of 10-year risk of osteoporotic fractures in women
Authors: Lukyanets E. Yu.
Published: September 2021

Osteoporosis is the fourth most common after cardiovascular, cancer and endocrine diseases. With an increase in life expectancy, it becomes one of the main causes of deterioration in health and an increase in mortality.

Aim of the study. Assess bone mineral density using ultrasonic densitometry and the risk of osteoporotic fractures among women in Cherkasy region.

Materials and methods. The study was based on a survey of 43 women in the Odessa region, the average age of the subjects was 56,4±9,9 years, the average body weight was 73,5±11,6 kg, height 164,9±5,9 cm, the average BMI was 27,1±4,3. All women were divided into groups by age with a ten-year interval and by densitometry indices.

Results. Decreased bone density was found in 58,1 % of subjects, osteoporosis - 2 (4,8%). Women with osteopenia and osteoporosis have an increased risk of fractures and significantly reduced ultrasound densitometry compared to respondents with normal BMD. The structure of concomitant pathology was dominated by diseases of the circulatory system (22 cases;51,2 %) and digestive organs (12; 27,9 %). More than half of women (26; 60,5 %) had a total of 50 comorbidities, with an average of 1.2 cases of comorbidity.

Conclusions. Most women had osteopenic manifestations. Age significantly correlates with BMD parameters. The number of women with changes in the structure of bone tissue increases with age. Algorithms for assessing the 10-year risk of FRAX and Q-Fracture fractures are significantly correlated with densitometry. The combination of ultrasonic densitometry with algorithms for assessing the risk of osteoporotic fractures increases the diagnosis of osteoporosis.
The Sejong Open Cluster Survey (SOS). VII. A Photometric Study of the Young Open Cluster IC 1590

Published: September 2021

Young open clusters are ideal laboratories to understand the star formation process. We present deep UBVI and Hα photometry for the young open cluster IC 1590 in the center of the H ii region NGC 281. Early-type members are selected from UBV photometric diagrams, and low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) members are identified by using Hα photometry. In addition, the published X-ray source list and Gaia astrometric data are also used to isolate probable members. A total of 408 stars are selected as members. The mean reddening obtained from early-type members is 〈E(B − V)〉 = 0.40 ± 0.06 (s.d.). We confirm the abnormal extinction law for the intracluster medium. The distance modulus to the cluster determined from the zero-age main-sequence fitting method is 12.3 ± 0.2 mag (d = 2.88 ± 0.28 kpc), which is consistent with the distance

kpc from the recent Gaia parallaxes. We also estimate the ages and masses of individual members by means of stellar evolutionary models. The mode of the age of PMS stars is about 0.8 Myr. The initial mass function of IC 1590 is derived. It appears to be a steeper shape (Γ = −1.49 ± 0.14) than that of the Salpeter/Kroupa initial mass function for the high-mass regime (m > 1 M
⊙). The signature of mass segregation is detected from the difference in the slopes of the initial mass functions for the inner (

Toward a More Complex Understanding of Natal Super Star Clusters with Multiwavelength Observations

Published: September 2021

Henize 2–10 (He 2–10) is a nearby (D = 9 Mpc) starbursting blue compact dwarf galaxy that boasts a high star formation rate and a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus. He 2–10 is also one of the first galaxies in which embedded super star clusters (SSCs) were discovered. SSCs are massive, compact star clusters that will impact their host galaxies dramatically when their massive stars evolve. Here, we discuss radio, submillimeter, and infrared observations of He 2–10 from 1.87 μm to 6 cm in high angular resolution (∼0.3″), which allows us to disentangle individual clusters from aggregate complexes as identified at lower resolution. These results indicate the importance of spatial resolution to characterize SSCs, as low resolution studies of SSCs average over aggregate complexes that may host SSCs at different stages of evolution. We explore the thermal, nonthermal, and dust emission associated with the clusters along with dense molecular tracers to construct a holistic review of the natal SSCs that have yet to dramatically disrupt their parent molecular clouds. We assess the production rate of ionizing photons, extinction, total mass, and the star formation efficiency (SFE) associated with the clusters. Notably, we find that the SFE for the some of the natal clusters is high (>70%), which suggests that these clusters could remain bound even after the gas is dispersed from the system from stellar feedback mechanisms. If they remain bound, these SSCs could survive to become objects indistinguishable from globular clusters.

We present the X-ray point-source catalogs in two of the XMM-Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (XMM-SERVS) fields, W-CDF-S (4.6 deg2) and ELAIS-S1 (3.2 deg2), aiming to fill the gap between deep pencil-beam X-ray surveys and shallow X-ray surveys over large areas. The W-CDF-S and ELAIS-S1 regions were targeted with 2.3 and 1.0 Ms of XMM-Newton observations, respectively; 1.8 and 0.9 Ms exposures remain after flare filtering. The survey in W-CDF-S has a flux limit of 1.0 × 10−14 erg cm−2 s−1 over 90% of its area in the 0.5–10 keV band; 4053 sources are detected in total. The survey in ELAIS-S1 has a flux limit of 1.3 × 10−14 erg cm−2 s−1 over 90% of its area in the 0.5–10 keV band; 2630 sources are detected in total. Reliable optical-to-IR multiwavelength counterpart candidates are identified for ≈89% of the sources in W-CDF-S and ≈87% of the sources in ELAIS-S1. A total of 3129 sources in W-CDF-S and 1957 sources in ELAIS-S1 are classified as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We also provide photometric redshifts for X-ray sources; ≈84% of the 3319/2001 sources in W-CDF-S/ELAIS-S1 with optical-to-near-IR forced photometry available have either spectroscopic redshifts or high-quality photometric redshifts. The completion of the XMM-Newton observations in the W-CDF-S and ELAIS-S1 fields marks the end of the XMM-SERVS survey data gathering. The ≈12,000 pointlike X-ray sources detected in the whole ≈13 deg2 XMM-SERVS survey will benefit future large-sample AGN studies.
Tracing Hα Fibrils through Bayesian Deep Learning

Published: September 2021

We present a new deep-learning method, named FibrilNet, for tracing chromospheric fibrils in Hα images of solar observations. Our method consists of a data preprocessing component that prepares training data from a threshold-based tool, a deep-learning model implemented as a Bayesian convolutional neural network for probabilistic image segmentation with uncertainty quantification to predict fibrils, and a post-processing component containing a fibril-fitting algorithm to determine fibril orientations. The FibrilNet tool is applied to high-resolution Hα images from an active region (AR 12665) collected by the 1.6 m Goode Solar Telescope (GST) equipped with high-order adaptive optics at the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO). We quantitatively assess the FibrilNet tool, comparing its image segmentation algorithm and fibril-fitting algorithm with those employed by the threshold-based tool. Our experimental results and major findings are summarized as follows. First, the image segmentation results (i.e., the detected fibrils) of the two tools are quite similar, demonstrating the good learning capability of FibrilNet. Second, FibrilNet finds more accurate and smoother fibril orientation angles than the threshold-based tool. Third, FibrilNet is faster than the threshold-based tool and the uncertainty maps produced by FibrilNet not only provide a quantitative way to measure the confidence on each detected fibril, but also help identify fibril structures that are not detected by the threshold-based tool but are inferred through machine learning. Finally, we apply FibrilNet to full-disk Hα images from other solar observatories and additional high-resolution Hα images collected by BBSO/GST, demonstrating the tool’s usability in diverse data sets.

Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Antioxidants are natural ingredients that can block the oxidation process of free radicals that enter the body so that damage to body cells can be prevented. Kawista plants are one of the plants that have antioxidant activity.

AIM: This article review aims to determine the compounds that have antioxidant activity found in Kawista plants, the method used in testing antioxidants on Kawista plants, and the IC50 value found in antioxidant testing on Kawista plants.

METHODS: The method used in this study is the Population, Intervention, Control, and Outcome method through inclusion and exclusion criteria using the keywords “Antioxidant activity of Limonia acidissima,” “Antioxidant activity of Feronia limonia,” “Antioxidant activity of Kawista,” “Testing Antioxidants in L. acidissima,” and “L. acidissima” with databases used for literature searches.

RESULTS: This review shows that Kawista plants have antioxidant activity of various compounds based on the test method used.

CONCLUSION: Compounds in Kawista plants that have antioxidant activity are phenols, especially phenolic acids, flavonoids, flavonols, triterpenoids, saponins, tannins, terpenes, steroids, alkaloids, and glycosides. Kawista plant activity tested had IC50 with an average value of very strong (16.45 g/mL), strong (77.85 g/mL), moderate (135.02 g/mL), weak (196.67 g/mL), and very weak (751.89 g/mL).
Filling in knowledge gaps: Length–weight relations of 46 uncommon sharks and rays (Elasmobranchii) in the Mediterranean Sea
Authors: Tsikliras Athanassios C. , Dimarchopoulou Donna
Published: September 2021

Large sharks and rays are generally understudied in the Mediterranean Sea, thus leading to a knowledge gap of basic biological characteristics that are important in fisheries management and ecosystem modeling. Out of the 76 sharks and rays inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea, the length–weight relations (LWR) are available for 28 (37%) of them, usually for common small-sized species that are not protected and may be marketed. The aim of the presently reported study was to fill in the knowledge gap through the estimation of LWR of rare and uncommon sharks and rays in the Mediterranean Sea using the information from single records or few individuals. The analysis was based on a Bayesian hierarchical method for estimating length–weight relations in fishes that has been recently proposed for data-deficient species or museum collections and uses the prior knowledge and existing LWR studies to derive species-specific LWR parameters by body form. The use of this method was applied to single records of rare and uncommon species and here we report the LWR of 46 uncommon sharks and ray species, 14 of which are first reported LWR at a global scale and 21 are the first reported LWR for the Mediterranean Sea; the remaining 11 species are first time records for the western or eastern Mediterranean regions. Museum collections and sporadic catch records of rare emblematic species may provide useful biological information with the use of appropriate Bayesian methods.
La violence et les associations privées dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine
Authors: Arnaoutoglou Ilias
Published: September 2021

Dans cette brève contribution, je voudrais présenter quelques réflexions sur la relation de la violence/coercition avec le phénomène associatif et mettre l’accent sur des références, implicites ou explicites, à des situations de violence à l’intérieur des associations mêmes ou à des conditions favorisant des situations semblables. Cette relation se développe sur trois pistes : 1) rapports entre polis , royaume ou empire et associations privées, 2) rapports entre associations et leurs membres, et 3) rapports entre les membres de la même association ou entre membres et non-membres. Dans tous ces cas, la violence constitue une menace existentielle pour la survivance et, surtout, la prospérité des associations privées ; ces dernières emploient donc tous les moyens disponibles (disciplinaires, pénaux, symboliques) pour la contrôler et la supprimer.
Les catœques dans l’Égypte de Cléopâtre VII : quel rôle jouent-ils dans la vie militaire, économique et sociale à la fin du royaume lagide ?
Authors: Bussi Silvia
Published: September 2021

Le problème que cet article veut creuser c’est le destin des clérouquies à la fin de la période ptolémaïque, leurs liens avec l’armée, la nature militaire ou plutôt civile des clérouques, leur degré d’enracinement dans la société égyptienne, leur condition économique. Vu la nature militaire des clérouquies à leur naissance, et tout en considérant les influences exercées sur la formation de cette importante institution ptolémaïque par le soustrait égyptien et perse, ainsi que par le modèle athénien en amont, on tentera de détecter jusqu’à quel point l’enracinement des clérouques sur le territoire égyptien en a modifié la nature et le rôle social et économique. Une étude notamment de la documentation du i er  siècle avant J.-C. sera conduite pour affronter le problème de l’éventuelle « démilitarisation » des clérouques à la fin de la domination lagide. Cela dans le cadre du problème majeur de la nature de l’armée lagide sous Cléopâtre VII : y a-t-il encore une armée ptolémaïque, ou s’agit-il plutôt d’une armée soutenue par les Romains ?
Notes on the Conceptualization of Poliorcetics in Archaic and Classical Greek Literature
Authors: Echeverría Rey Fernando
Published: September 2021

L’étude du vocabulaire peut améliorer notre compréhension des pratiques et opérations conduites par les Grecs de l’Antiquité pour attaquer et occuper les villes ennemies. La présente contribution examine les sources littéraires pertinentes des périodes archaïque et classique afin de reconstituer la manière dont les Grecs de l’Antiquité conceptualisaient eux-mêmes ces pratiques, dans quels termes et quelles formulations et selon quelles idées et quels concepts. L’idée ici avancée est que l’approche grecque de la poliorcétique était beaucoup plus large que la notion moderne de « siège » ne semble l’impliquer et qu’elle était en définitive liée à leur conception et à leur expérience de la guerre terrestre en général.
Nourris au sein de Roma . De la condition des porteurs des cognomina Threptus et Trophimus sous le Haut Empire
Authors: Perrot Gaëlle
Published: September 2021

Cet article propose de faire la lumière sur la condition des individus porteurs des surnoms Threptus et Trophimus sous le Haut Empire. Importés des substantifs grecs θρεπτος et τρόφιμος, les deux cognomina résultent d’une translittération dans la langue latine à l’origine d’une double évolution à la fois formelle et sémantique. Ils furent appréciés pendant près de trois siècles par les villes des rives de Méditerranée occidentale pour nommer, par antonomase inversée, une catégorie endogène de la parenté nourricière que le terme d’ alumnus ne parvenait pas à désigner strictement.

Les collectivités territoriales jouent un rôle essentiel dans la mise en œuvre du développement durable local. Toutefois, on perçoit encore mal les modalités de cette mise en œuvre. L’objectif de cet article est de proposer une analyse de la mise en place d’un système de pilotage du développement durable des collectivités territoriales, contraint par une pluralité d’acteurs, en prenant appui sur le concept d’Infrastructure-frontière. La mise en relation d’objets-frontière au sein d’une infrastructure frontière facilite la mise en place d’un système de pilotage d’une organisation caractérisée par la présence d’acteurs relevant de ci tés différentes au sens des économies de la grandeur (Boltanski, Thévenot, 1991). Nous nous appuyons sur l’étude de la communauté de communes des crêtes Pré-Ardennaise qui a fait du développement durable un levier essentiel de son projet territorial. Nous nous proposons de présenter le rôle des objets-frontière, articulés au sein d’une infrastructure-frontière, dans le développement d’un système de pilotage du développement durable.
Usage des indicateurs de performance par les chefs d’établissement : entre instrumentation et instrumentalisation
Authors: Hasrouri Larbi
Published: September 2021

Depuis les lois de décentralisation de 1982, les établissements publics locaux d’enseignement (EPLE) disposent de la personnalité juridique et constituent des organisations à part entière. La recherche d’est peu à peu emparée de ces organisations publiques impactées par le nouveau management public (NMP). A ce titre, les chefs d’établissement doivent traduire de manière opérationnelle un contrat d’objectifs négocié avec sa tutelle, instrument de contrôle stratégique (Dorbraire et Pupion, 2011), avec la participation active des enseignants. Le contrôle organisationnel s’appuie alors sur un objet-frontière : le projet d’établissement. Le volet évaluation de cet objet frontière repose largement sur l’usage des indicateurs de performance par les chefs d’établissement. Sur la base d’une dizaine d’entretiens menés auprès de chefs d’établissement complétés par des données secondaires et un entretien avec le sous-directeur à la DEPP, l’article montre que l’usage des indicateurs inhérents au projet d’établissement est au cœur de logiques combinatoires entre les enseignants et les chefs d’établissement. Nous mobilisons la théorie de l’instrumentation étendue (Rabardel, 1995, 2005) et nous recourant à la métaphore de la machine pour une présentation de nos résultats. L’usage des indicateurs oscillerait alors entre instrumentation et instrumentalisation, donnant un caractère dynamique à la genèse instrumentale qui est au cœur de la théorie de l’instrumentation étendue.
Vers une compréhension de l’intentionnalité de l’action d’accueillir
Authors: Meriaux Mathilde , Denis Jennifer
Published: September 2021

Accueillir est devenu un geste automatisé et internalisé pour lequel on ne s’interroge plus. Pourtant, ce primo-moment laisse des traces et influencera le devenir de la relation thérapeutique. Notre souhait est de replacer l’expérience de l’accueil au cœur de la clinique en explorant les actions mises en place par des professionnels exerçant en unités de crise et d’urgences psychiatriques. À partir de l’analyse par théorisation enracinée, nous vous proposons de comprendre, décrire et modéliser le processus d’accueillir en clinique de crise et de l’urgence. Les résultats ouvrent la réflexion sur le façonnage réciproque qu’induit l’accueil. Il ne relève pas de techniques spécifiques, mais plutôt d’attitudes, voire d’aptitudes singulières, de façons d’être avec, de façons de faire avec ses émotions, de façons de faire avec le patient et son entourage.
Clinique de l’urgence psychologique : de l’immédiateté à l’inscription de l’errance
Authors: Veit Camille , Froté Yves
Published: September 2021

Les cellules psychologiques sont fréquemment convoquées au front de la gestion des catastrophes contemporaines. Elles visent à contenir les impacts psychologiques et à diminuer les risques en termes de santé publique. Le présent article engage un pas de côté eu égard aux modèles de gestion de crise et propose une analyse du cadre des cellules psychologiques, en tant qu’il instaure un espace singulier immédiatement après l’aléa. Partant des figures du chaos et de la catastrophe spécifiques à cette clinique du réel, les auteurs interrogent ensuite la fonction de l’errance pour le sujet, l’envisageant comme tentative d’inscription d’un impossible à dire, à ne pas contourner mais à accueillir. En rupture aussi bien avec la position de « victime » qu’avec le néant sans parole, l’errance construit un espace fait de traces, de ratés et d’itinéraires à même de relancer le sujet sur des trajectoires vives.

Published: September 2021

Many studies have associated altered intestinal bacterial communities and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but the putative effects are inconclusive. The purpose of this network meta-analysis (NMA) was to evaluate the effects of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through randomised intervention trials. Literature searches were performed until March 2020. For each outcome, a random NMA was performed, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was determined. A total of 22 randomised trials comparing prebiotic, probiotic, and synbiotic treatments included 1301 participants. Considering all seven results (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, body mass index, weight, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) together, the highest SUCRA values are probiotics (94%), synbiotics (61%) and prebiotics (56%), respectively. NMA results provide evidence that probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics can alleviate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, due to the lack of high-quality randomised trials, this research also has some limitations.

The study aims to investigate the literature on the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiac autonomic function in individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and lifestyle disorders. We performed electronic database search from CENTRAL, WoS, Scopus, Pubmed, and PEDro up to 25th February 2021. Randomised control trials/quasi-experimental trials/cross-over trials that assessed the effects of HIIT with control/alternative treatment on cardiac autonomic control were included in this review. A total of 11 studies were included for qualitative analysis and among them, 8 were quantitatively analysed. A random-effect model of standardised mean difference (SMD) and mean difference of the respective outcome measures for cardiac autonomic control was determined. The findings of the qualitative analysis revealed the beneficial effects of HIIT on cardiac autonomic modulation. However, the majority of the studies had an unclear or high risk of bias for randomisation, concealment methods, and blinding of participants to the intervention that could have influenced the interpretation of the findings. The SMD revealed a significant effect of HIIT on standard deviation of N-N intervals (SDNN) (ms) [SMD: 0.40, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.001 to 0.80, P=0.05], high frequency power (HF) (ms2) [0.46, 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.76, P=0.002], and ratio of low and high frequency power, (LF/HF) [-0.80, 95% CI: -1.27 to -0.33, P=0.0008]. In conclusion, HIIT may effectively modulate cardiac autonomic function by increasing parasympathetic dominance, sympathetic withdrawal, and sympathovagal balance in individuals with CVD and lifestyle disorders. The study has a PROSPERO registration number: CRD42021231225

Mycotoxins present a global food safety threat of our feed and food. Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites of certain fungi in agricultural products that are harmful to animal and human health. The presence of mycotoxins in these products depends on a variety of management and environmental factors in the field, during storage and/or processing of feed and food commodities. To date, information on mycotoxin management is available, but is not easy to access by supply chain actors. This study aimed to design, build and test a Decision Support System (DSS) that can help decision making on mycotoxin management by various actors along the feed and food supply chains. As part of this, available knowledge and data on mycotoxin prevention and control were collected and synthesised into easy to understand guidelines and tools for various groups of end-users. The DSS consists of four different modules: (a) static information module and (b) scenario analysis module, (c) dynamic module for forecasting mycotoxins, and (d) dynamic module for real-time monitoring of moulds/mycotoxins in grain silos. Intended end-users are all end-user groups for modules (a) and (b); growers and collectors for module (c) and; post-harvest storage managers for module (d). The DSS is user-friendly and accessible through PCs, tablets and smartphones (seehttps://mytoolbox-platform.com/). In various phases of the DSS development, the tool has been demonstrated to groups of end-users, and their suggestions have been taken into account, whenever possible. Also, a near final version has been tested with individual farmers on the easiness to use the system. In this way we aimed to maximise the DSS uptake by actors along the chain. Ultimately, this DSS will improve decision making on mycotoxin management; it will assist in reducing mycotoxin contamination in the key crops of Europe, thereby reducing economic losses and improving animal and human health.

Published: September 2021

STEAM learning was design to promote student’s interest in learning chemistry. Integration STEAM into chemistry learning is often seen as a challenge, such as not familiar and lack of knowledge on STEAM in chemistry. Coping, for this reason, a web-based STEAM online platform was designed. This paper reports the use of design-based research (DBR) to develop a web-based STEAM online platform. The paper focuses on two studies that step on the development and validation of the platform. In an attempt to implement theoretically designed learning environments in real-world classrooms, DBR was employed as an overarching framework of inquiry. The two cycles of DBR inquiry provide deep insights into the platform's readability, comprehensibility, and feasibility. The implementation of the framework is specified along with further implications for researchers and practitioners.
Étude de la professionnalisation des masseurs-kinésithérapeutes salariés à partir de leurs usages des courriers électroniques
Authors: Pilotti Anne
Published: September 2021

Un mouvement de professionnalisation, commencé il y a 20 ans, touche les professions paramédicales françaises. L’écriture professionnelle qui est un enjeu pour ces différentes professions, revêt des formes multiples. La messagerie électronique institutionnelle, créé par les établissements de soin est une forme d’écriture professionnelle mais également un outil de management. La contribution porte sur la professionnalisation des masseurs-kinésithérapeutes salariés, abordée à partir de leurs usages du courrier électronique institutionnel. La démarche ethnographique, mise en œuvre dans trois établissements de santé, comprend des observations participantes, des entretiens et des écrits. Le cadre théorique de l’analyse institutionnelle permet de travailler la professionnalisation comme une institutionnalisation des pratiques et normes professionnelles. Les résultats montrent le positionnement de ces professionnels, la place donnée aux réseaux professionnels, aux différents territoires institutionnels et au corps du malade.
Auditor Evaluation and Reporting on Cybersecurity Risks
Authors: Zanzig Jeffrey S. , Francia III Guillermo A.
Published: September 2021

Tremendous improvements in information networking capabilities have brought with them increased security risks resulting from the deterioration of the ability of a physical layer of computer security to protect an organization's information system. As a result, audit committees have had to deal with new security issues as well as the need to understand the cyber perpetrator and ensure the proper training of employees to consider cybersecurity risks. Standard setters including the Institute of Internal Auditors and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants have issued guidance about lines of defense and reporting on an entity's cybersecurity risk management program and controls, respectively. Each of these topics is considered along with how cybersecurity guidance from COBIT, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Center for Internet Security can be mapped into five cyber infrastructure domains to provide an approach to evaluate a system of cybersecurity.
The CyberSecurity Audit Model (CSAM)
Authors: Sabillon Regner
Published: September 2021

This chapter presents the outcome of two empirical research studies that assess the implementation and validation of the cybersecurity audit model (CSAM), designed as a multiple-case study in two different Canadian higher education institution. CSAM can be applied for undertaking cybersecurity audits in any organization or nation state in order to evaluate and measure the cybersecurity assurance, maturity, and cyber readiness. The architecture of CSAM is explained in central sections. CSAM has been examined, implemented, and established under three research scenarios: (1) cybersecurity audit of all model domains, (2) cybersecurity audit of numerous domains, and (3) a single cybersecurity domain audit. The chapter concludes by showing how the implementation of the model permits one to report relevant information for future decision making in order to correct cybersecurity weaknesses or to improve cybersecurity domains and controls; thus, the model can be implemented and sufficiently tested at any organization.
The Role of Human Resource Management in Enhancing Organizational Information Systems Security
Authors: Kumah Peace
Published: September 2021

Emerging human resource management (HRM) practices are focusing on background checks, training and development, employer-employee relations, responsibility and accountability, and monitoring of information systems security resources. Information systems security ensures that appropriate resources and adequate skills exist in the organization to effectively manage information security projects. This chapter examined the role of HRM in enhancing organizational information systems security. Using importance-performance map analysis, the study found training, background checks, and monitoring as crucial HRM practices that could enhance organizational information systems security. Moreover, four indicators, consisting of training on mobile devices security; malware management; background checks; and monitoring of potential, current, and former employees recorded high importance but with rather low performance. Consequently, these indicators should be improved. On the contrary, the organizations placed excessive focus on responsibility, accountability, and employee relations.
Network and Data Transfer Security Management in Higher Educational Institutions
Authors: Yaokumah Winfred , Dawson Alex Ansah
Published: September 2021

This chapter explored communications security through the use of an empirical survey to assess the extent of network and data transfer security management in Ghanaian higher educational institutions. Network security management controls consist of monitoring of networks, posture checking, network segmentation, and defense-in-depth. Data transfer security management includes encryption, media access control, and protection of data from public networks. Data were collected from information technology (IT) personnel. The ISO/IEC 21827 maturity model for assessing IT security posture was used to measure the controls. Overall, the result showed that the institutions were at the planned stage of communications security management. In particular, network monitoring, defense-in-depth, and the protection of data from public networks were the most applied controls. Conversely, posture checking was the least applied control. Higher educational institutions need to review their communications security plans and better manage network and data transfer security controls to mitigate data breaches.
Conceptualizing the Domain and an Empirical Analysis of Operations Security Management
Authors: Yaokumah Winfred
Published: September 2021

Operations security management integrates the activities of all the information systems security controls. It ensures that the entire computing environment is adequately secured. This chapter conducts an in-depth review of scholarly and practitioner works to conceptualize the domain of operations security management. Drawing upon the existing information systems security literature, the chapter classifies operations security management into 10 domains. Following, the chapter performs an empirical analysis to investigate the state-of-practice of operations security management in organizations. The findings show that the maturity level of operations security management is at the Level 3 (well-defined). The maturity levels range from Level 0 (not performed) to Level 5 (continuously improving). The results indicate that operations security processes are documented, approved, and implemented organization-wide. Backup and malware management are the most applied operations security controls, while logging, auditing, monitoring, and reviewing are the least implemented controls.
