The Idea of a Balkan Commonwealth or Confederation. A Realistic Perspective or a Utopia?
Authors: Papadaki Polyxeni
Published: February 2020

Przez wieki Półwysep Bałkański był wykorzystywany jako droga łącząca wschodnią część Morza Śródziemnego i Europę. Jest to obszar o wielkim znaczeniu strategicznym, gospodarczym i kulturalnym, a także miejsce wspólnych interesów dla wszystkich żyjących tam narodów. Po ich utworzeniu, jako suwerenne państwa (głównie po upadku Imperium Osmańskiego, a ostatnio po rozpadzie Jugosławii), nowe państwa bałkańskie próbują znaleźć swoją geopolityczną pozycję na mapie europejskiej. Wiele pytań pojawia się na myśl o obecnej sytuacji tych krajów. Czy państwa bałkańskie mogą skutecznie współpracować na płaszczyźnie politycznej, gospodarczej i strategicznej? Czy konieczne jest stworzenie unii częściowo suwerennych państw, takich jak konfederacja, czy może wystarczy luźniejsza struktura (tj. wspólnota)? I wreszcie czy jest to sposób na wzmocnienie demokracji i bezpieczeństwa oraz konsolidację pozycji tych państw w stosunkach międzynarodowych?
The 2019 Austrian government crisis – political consequences of the Ibiza affair
Authors: Miecznikowska Justyna Maria
Published: February 2020

W artykule ukazano polityczne konsekwencje największego w historii II Republiki Austrii kryzysu rządowego, który był następstwem ujawnienia w maju 2019r. przez media korupcyjnych propozycji składanych przez polityków Wolnościowej Partii Austrii. Afera taśmowa nazywana „Ibiza-gate” wstrząsnęła Austrią, doprowadziła do rozpadu koalicji Austriackiej Partii Ludowej i Wolnościowej Partii Austrii, a następnie do upadku rządu Sebastiana Kurza w wyniku wyrażenia przez Radę Narodową wotum nieufności. W artykule przyjęto hipotezę, że skandal umocnił pozycję chadecji na austriackiej scenie politycznej i to mimo krytyki ze strony partii opozycyjnych, że ÖVP która podjęła się współpracy ze skrajną prawicą, jest współodpowiedzialna za kryzys polityczny.

Authors: Gúzman Ibarra Isabel , Settati Ayoub , Marín Uribe Rigoberto
Published: February 2020

Este artículo tiene como objetivo aplicar una estrategia pedagógica, sustentada en la transversalidad y la transdisciplina para una planeación didáctica y permeada por el pensamiento complejo como articulador de prácticas educativas innovadoras, específicamente validadas en el Modelo para el Desarrollo y Evaluación de Competencias Académicas de Guzmán, Marín e Inciarte en el 2014. La estrategia transita entre la reflexión que estructura un currículo articulador de diversos ejes transversales y prácticas educativas transformadoras. El diseño metodológico se fundamenta en la aplicación de un andamio cognitivo sustentado en un modelo pedagógico. Los principales resultados se orientan a la aplicación de la estrategia pedagógica en una de las asignaturas “bases psicopedagógicas”, y con ello se busca la articulación del eje transversal de complejidad, que redimensiona los problemas del entorno. Como reflexiones finales, se enfatiza la importancia de la estrategia para transitar de la disciplina a la inter y transdisciplina, buscando vincular el quehacer educativo con la realidad social.

SIGNIFYING RELIGION IN SYMBOL: LOOKING UP THE RISE OF INDONESIAN RED CRESCENT (BSMI) IN PUBLIC LIFE
Authors: Taufiqurrohim Taufiqurrohim , Yunus Ahmad
Published: February 2020

In the beginning, the surface of BSMI problematizes the red symbol that was used by PMI because it was analyzed as a Christian symbol, feeling hesitant when used as a cross symbol in humanitarian missions is the basic reason as their appearance of religiosities in public life. Talking about the symbol, the crescent has a long history of how it can be “identified” as a symbol of Islam and how the people identified those as an identity of the religion by signifying sacred behind the symbol. The symbolization of religion cannot be separated from the method of semiotic approach where explains the science of sign. Through this sign, people can find their identity and communicatewith each other as social interaction and also find a sacred behind the symbol. For the last theory, I would use the social movement and development that indicate the turn organization not only happen in the case of philanthropy but also will eradicate to the other social application movement. Therefore, in my opinion, the surface of BSMI cannot be rid by the development of crescent symbol interpretation as a symbolization of religious identity due to symbolism as a way to communicate and interact with society

The Impact of Human Capital and Innovation Output on Economic Growth: Comparative Analysis of Malaysia and Turkey
Authors: WUSİMAN Nueraili , NDZEMBANTEH Aboubakary Nulambeh
Published: February 2020

The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of human capital and innovation output on economic growth in Malaysia and Turkey, over the period 1988-2013. The conventional Unit Root Tests reveal that all the variables are stationary after taking the first difference, and the Johansen Tests of Co-Integration demonstrate that the variables are co-integrated. Specifically, we find that in both countries, human capital, innovation output and physical capital have a significant positive effect on economic growth. The Causality tests indicate two unidirectional causalities that run from human capital and innovation to economic growth and a bidirectional causality between physical capital and innovation in Malaysia.

Malignant gliomas are heterogeneous neoplasms. Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) are undifferentiated and self-renewing cells that develop and maintain these tumors. These cells are the main population that resist current therapies. Genomic and epigenomic analyses has identified various molecular subtypes. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) reduces the number of GSCs through differentiation and induction of apoptosis, thus increasing therapeutic sensitivity. However, the short half-life of BMP4 impedes its clinical application. We have previously reviewed BMP4 signaling in central nervous system development and glioma tumorigenesis and its’ potential as a treatment target in human gliomas. Recent advances in understanding both adult and pediatric malignant gliomas highlight critical roles of BMP4 signaling pathways in the regulation of tumor biology, and indicate its’ potential as a therapeutic molecule. Furthermore, significant progress has been made on synthesizing BMP4 biocompatible delivery materials, which can bind to and markedly extend BMP4 half-life. Here, we review current research associated with BMP4 in brain tumors, especially in pediatric malignant gliomas. We also summarize BMP4 delivery strategies, with a focus on biocompatible BMP4 binding peptide amphiphile nanostructures as promising novel delivery platforms for treatment of these devastating tumors.

Published: February 2020

ACE2, the putative receptor for the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), played an important role in cell entry of 2019-nCoV. However, it is not yet clear what cell types within the human body express ACE2. Here, a systematic analysis was undertaken using published single cell datasets. In total, our study analyzed 229652 cells, from five different organs, derived from 88 donors. The top ACE2 expressing cells include proximal tubule cells in the kidney and enterocytes in the intestine. Other major ACE2 expressing cells in the kidney include podocytes, intercalated cells and endothelial cells. Our results offer a comprehensive atlas of ACE2 expression at the single cell level and unravel the enormous potential targets of 2019-nCoVinfection beyond the lung.

Soil minerals are very important for plants and can be use to assess the potential of soil fertility. This study aims to assess the potential of soil fertility based on mineral identification in Banggae and Eastern Banggae Subdistrict, Majene District, West Sulawesi Province. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative, by identifying the minerals in the parent material and soil from thin section using polarizing microscope, quantification method for minerals percentage, and classified of nutrient potential with percentage of mineral content reduced by the percentage content of the quartz. The results showed that the dominant mineral found in the parent material and soil are pyroxene, plagioclase, hornblende, biotite, calcite, quartz and opaque, but the size of mineral are smaller than in the parent material. Potential of nutrients generated in the form of weatherable minerals are biotite, calcite, plagioclase, hornblende and pyroxene containing elements such as Mg, Ca, K, Fe and Na. Potential soil fertility in parent material currently on the moderate criteria (48% to 70%), while on the soil with middle criteria (48% to 70%) in P1L1, P2L1, P4L1, P8L1, P9L1, P10L1, P11L1 and P11L2 and good criteria (73% to 79%) in P3L1, P3L2, P4L2, P5L1, P5L2, P6L1, P7L1 and P9L2. Potential nutrient contained in the mineral is not available for plants, because it has not been supported by external factors such as the low availability of water. This is due to the climate condition especially rainfall in research area is in the range of 949.0 to 2557.1 mm/year with an average annual rainfall of 1608.0 mm/year.
«Roundabout I-VI» de Martín Gubbins o dos lecturas de lo ilegible
Authors: Alfonso Alethia
Published: February 2020

En este artículo planteo la relación que existe entre algunos postulados de Eric Mottram, uno de los iniciadores de British Poetry Revival, con la poesía de Martín Gubbins. Abogo por abrir las posibilidades de influencia anglosajona más allá de los conocidos Ezra Pound y William Carlos Williams. Además, busco entender qué sucede con el sujeto en poéticas contemporáneas predominantemente visuales y performativas. Por último, esbozo una noción de la relación que poemas como «Roundabout I-VI» de Gubbins tienen con la (in)estética según Alain Badiou.
Rehabitar el tiempo: el arte de darle voz a través de la máquina en Yucef Merhi
Authors: Díaz Larralde Daniela
Published: February 2020

La intención es analizar en este trabajo, a partir de distintas concepciones del tiempo y de nuestro tiempo como momento histórico —Heidegger, Bergson, Lyotard—, El reloj poético, obra plástica con la que Yucef Merhi inaugura, en 1997, junto con otras dos —Poliverso andróctono y Abstractombola— y un poemario, su trayectoria como artista/ poeta/hacker. Se trata de un reloj que es capaz de generar 86 400 poemas al día, uno por cada segundo, y que el artista propone como una máquina que convierte el tiempo en poesía. Este singular reloj, construido y programado por Merhi, revelará que, paralela a la duración que marca la máquina en términos de «cuánto» y de «cuándo», medida que responde a la intención racional de cuantificar y controlar el tiempo y la realidad, discurre otra que escapa al número porque no es cantidad sino cualidad, porque no es homogénea sino heterogénea, porque no es razón sino emoción. A partir de esta obra será posible entonces no solo medir el tiempo, igual para todos, sino percibirlo como experiencia individual.
Fernando Carrasco Bolero matancero

Fernando Carrasco nació en Lima en 1976. Estudió Educación en laUniversidad Enrique Guzmán y Valle, La Cantuta (UNE), y continuó unamaestría en la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM). Hasido ganador y finalista de diferentes concursos literarios, como los JuegosFlorales de la UNE (1997), los Juegos Florales de la UNMSM (2003) yel Concurso de Cuento Alfredo Bryce Echenique (2003). Su obra narrativa,aunque breve, es sólida, y en ella destacan los siguientes títulos: Cantar deHelena y otras muertes (2006), libro finalista en el Segundo Concurso deCuento y Poesía Dedo Crítico de 2004, La muerte y otras traiciones (2009) yBolero matancero (2014).Este último libro presenta una significativa organización: está divididoen dos grupos («Lado A» y «Lado B»), que incluyen cinco cuentos cadauno. Todo el texto es una unidad coherente que gira en torno al tema de lamuerte y la música cobra un papel relevante. Pero, además, cada secciónestá articulada a partir de su semejanza formal y temática: el «Lado A»presenta el tema de la muerte como venganza, mientras que el «Lado B»lo presenta más bien como liberación. En este sentido, retoma un aspectoque ya se encontraba en sus anteriores libros, a modo de cierta obsesiónque a la vez brinda unidad a toda su obra narrativa. En Cantar de Helenay otras muertes, el autor despeja la angustia del hombre posmoderno yreconcilia el asunto de nuestra caducidad con la serenidad que asumimosante ella. Del mismo modo, en La muerte y otras traiciones, la muerteaparece como solución a múltiples circunstancias, como el problema deidentidad, como actos sangrientos de locura o como un acto de venganza,último punto que guarda estrecha relación con su última publicación:Bolero matancero.

Imágenes, espejos y espejismos. Los imaginarios sociales de la ocupación de Lima en la historiografía de la Guerra del Pacífico
Authors: Rodríguez Díaz Juan José
Published: February 2020

El propósito del presente trabajo es mostrar, a través de la producción historiográfica sobre la ocupación de Lima durante la Guerra del Pacífico, la construcción de imaginarios sociales que forman parte del discurso nacionalista. Estos recuperan y reafirman acontecimientos considerados positivos para la identidad nacional y omiten otros hechos que no encajan con estos fines discursivos. En nuestra perspectiva, la interacción entre el común de los imaginarios colectivos subyacentes en los limeños, y las imágenes discursivas de los productores intelectuales, contribuyen a dar una imagen histórica similar a la de un espejo roto, puesto que no concuerda con los datos empíricos hallados en modernos estudios historiográficos. Peor aún, en algunos casos, con el negacionismo de hechos trágicos y adversos al discurso nacionalista, los trabajos de los productores intelectuales originan la formación de imágenes totalmente distintas a los hechos concretos, como espejismos de la realidad histórica.

Hacia una mirada ecocrítica de la Literatura Hispanoamericana
Authors: Araya Grandón Juan Gabriel
Published: February 2020

El trabajo es la aplicación de la categoría ecocrítica en el estudio y la investigación de la literatura hispanoamericana. La importancia de la ecocrítica cada día es más manifiesta, en especial porque ofrece una nueva categoría para el análisis de la literatura, una de las novedosas posturascontemporáneas que adoptan una preocupación social, cultural e interdisciplinar. Esto significa que las interrelaciones entre las esferas culturales, sociales y de entorno natural deben ser repensadas de manera simultánea para obtener la reconstrucción de Ias relaciones humanas con todos los estratos y tomar en cuenta un contexto global. Desde este punto de vista proponemos analizar textos de  Mario Vargas Llosa, Pablo Neruda, Mariano Latorre, Nicanor Parra, Juan Pablo Riveros, entre otros.

Hablando con las manos, oyendo con los ojos ¿Qué puede decirnos la comunicación de primates no humanos sobre el lenguaje humano?
Authors: Gómez Melara José
Published: February 2020

La complejidad del lenguaje hace que sea un campo de estudio abordado en perspectiva multidisciplinar. Lacomunicación entre primates ha servido para establecer un interesante debate teórico sobre cómo emergió y evolucionó el lenguaje moderno. En la última década, los estudios en primatología y en lenguas de signos apuntaban a un origen gestual; sin embargo, nuevas perspectivas integradoras se inclinan a una coevolución de gesto y sonido. Este marco de estudio es especialmente relevante para reflexiones antropológicas que ayuden a reflexionar sobre sus implicaciones ontológicas y culturales.
ADL Recovery Trajectory after Discharge and its Predictors among Baseline-Independent Older Inpatients

Published: February 2020

BackgroundAmong the previous studies about the ADL recovery and its predictors, the researches and resources used to study and protect the baseline-independent older patients from being permanently ADL-dependent was few. We aimed to describe the level of activities of daily living (ADL) at discharge and ADL change within 6 months after discharge in older patients who were ADL-independent before admission but became dependent because of acute illness, and to identify the predictors of early rehabilitation,so as to provide the basis to early intervention.MethodsStratified cluster sampling was used to recruit 520 hospitalised older patients who were ADL-independent from departments of internal medicine at two tertiary hospitals from August 2017 to May 2018. Demographics, clinical data, and ADL status at 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge were collected. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Student’s t-test, Pearson’s chi-square test,Spearman’s correlation analysis, binary logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.ResultsThere were 403 out of 520 patients completing the 6-month follow-up, and 229 (56.8%) regained independence at 6 months after discharge. There was an overall increasing trend in ADL with time. The recovery rate was the highest within the first month after discharge, gradually declined after 1 month, and changed less obviously from 3 to 6 months after discharge (p<0.001). ADL score at discharge (OR=1.034,p<0.001), age (OR=0.269,p=0.001), post-discharge residence (OR=0.390,p<0.05), and cognition status at discharge (OR=1.685,p<0.05) were predictors of ADL recovery. The area under the curve of the four predictors combined was 0.763 (p<0.001).ConclusionStudying ADL recovery rate and its predicting indicators of the baseline independent inpatients at different time points provide a theoretical reference for the formulation of nursing plans and allocation of care resources.

Background Though menstruation is normal physiology in the females’ life, if not managed safely, it can interrupt daily activity or it may lead to health problems. Poor water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities in schools, inadequate puberty education and lack of hygienic menstrual hygiene management items (absorbents) cause girls to experience menstruation as shameful and uncomfortable. This study aimed to assess the extent of unsafe menstrual hygiene practice and factors influencing it among school females in Ambo, Ethiopia.Methods An institutional-based mixed-method cross-sectional study was conducted from March 01 to 15/2018 to collect data from 364 school females, teachers, and investigators observation. To collect the data, self-administered technique, interview, observational and FGD techniques were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software version 20. Uni-variate, bivariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were done. With 95% CI, the P-value of less than 0.05 was taken as the level of significance.Results The prevalence of the unsafe menstrual hygiene management practice was 53.6%, which implies urgent response from the stakeholders is of paramount importance. Factors such as the age of the females, frequency of discussing menses with mothers and source of information about menses were variables significantly associated with menstrual hygiene management practice.Conclusion and Recommendation High numbers of school females’ menstrual hygiene management were poorly managed. This implies urgent measure is needed from the stakeholders to solve these problems so that sustainable development goal number 3, 4 and 5 will be achieved. To rid off the current problems which school females are facing, comprehensive and different sectors collaboration is important. Specifically, education sectors, water and sanitation sectors, and health sectors bear the frontline responsibilities.

BackgroundMultiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant tumor syndrome with neuroendocrine tumorigenesis of the parathyroid and pituitary glands and pancreatic islet cells. This hereditary cancer is caused by germline mutations in the MEN1, located on chromosome 11q13. Among the approximately 3,000 cancer patients, in which multi-omics analysis was performed, we had a patient with multiple tumors including pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, thymic carcinoid and adenoma parathyroid, who showed no family history of MEN1.MethodsWe performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) of peripheral blood samples and three isolated tumor tissues (pancreas, thymus, and parathyroid). Sanger sequencing was used to validate MEN1 mutations; meanwhile, MEN1 mRNA levels on tumor samples were obtained by microarrays. MEN1 copy numbers and protein expression levels were determined by real-time PCR, and immunohistochemistry, respectively.ResultsMEN1 mRNA levels of pancreas and parathyroid tissues from patient-derived tumor samples were remarkably reduced, compared to those of 3,095 tumor and normal tissue samples. WGS data indicated the thymus sample with MEN1 nonsense mutation (W203*), while no MEN1 mutations were observed in the other two samples. WGS also identified MEN1 gross deletion of 18.5 kbp (chr11:64569322 – chr11:64587796; GRCh37/hg19 assembly) in peripheral blood samples and all the three tumor tissues. In addition, no MEN1 copy numbers on pancreas and parathyroid tumors were detected, whereas peripheral blood and the thymic carcinoid had one copy. Immunostaining of all the tissues detected very low levels of the MEN1 protein, Menin.ConclusionWe detected a hemizygous MEN1 germline deletion in blood sample of the MEN1 proband. All the three tumor samples had second hit with a deleterious mutation or normal alleles lacked to generate loss of heterozygosity at the MEN1 locus, suggesting loss of tumor suppressive function for MEN1.

Background Meniscal repair device deployment failure is a recognised complication of all-inside meniscal repair with subsequent risk of patient harm. The Fast-Fix device has undergone design changes to reduce deployment failure since its introduction in 2001. Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and mechanism of intra-operative deployment failure of the 3 rd generation Fast-fix 360™ (Smith & Nephew, Andover, USA) device. Method Data was prospectively collected for 106 consecutive all-inside meniscal repairs undertaken with the Fast-fix 360™ device. Patient demographics, mechanism of failure, site and type of repair were recorded. Results 20 deployment failures occurred in 423 Fast-fix 360™ deployments, an incidence of 4.72%. Deployment failure occurred in 19 of 109 patients an incidence of 17.43%. Six different failure mechanisms occurred; anchor exiting device without trigger being initiated, anchors not holding in meniscus, both anchors simultaneously exiting device and braided suture failing. The most common failure mechanism was failure of the second anchor not holding in the meniscus. Average cost of device failure was $75 per patient.Conclusion Despite design modification, deployment failure still occurs with similar modes top to the original design.

Objective The aim of this study is to observe the evolution changes of staphylococcus aureus biofilm on the surface of titanium alloy and evaluate bacterial changes of these biofilm after 0.5%g/L povidone–iodine treatment through the in vitro experiment. We have done research on this to provide some clinical guidance. Methods First, each period of 7days, 14days, 21days and 28days staphylococcus aureus biofilm models were established on the surfaces of titanium alloy and the biofilm morphology were detected by the confocal laser scanning microscope and scanning electron microscope. Then, morphological structure and the effect of 0.5%g/L povidone–iodine were further evaluated by viable count method after These biofilm were soak in the0.5%g/L povidone–iodine for5 min and 10 min respectively. Results 1. the extracellular polymer of biofilm was increasing with the Among them, the most obvious change and maturity occurred at the 21days and 28days respectively. With the process of biofilm maturation, the number of bacteria was decreased but the bacteria close to 90,000 and there was no significant difference (P>0.05). 2. The effect of 0.5%g/L povidone–iodine sterilization was significant,0.5%g/L povidone–iodine sterilization ten minutes group was better than PBS group(no intervention group) (P<0.05),0.5%g/L povidone–iodine sterilization five minutes was better than PBS group too (P<0.05). However, with the maturation of the biofilm, but not maturity 0.5%g/L povidone–iodine sterilization effect weakened but the 21days0.5%g/L povidone–iodine sterilization ten minutes was better than five minutes(P<0.05).there was no significant difference in maturity(P>0.05). Conclusion 1. The maturation of the biofilm is bacteria and outside then formation of extracellular polymeric substance and they formation micro environment together and the 21days is the time critical point for distinguishing young biofilm and mature biofilm, the most difference of which is the extracellular polymers and micro-environment.2. Early Implant related biofilm 0.5%g/L povidone–iodine treatment for 10 min is better than 5 min, but there is no extension meaning of static after maturity. So for early clinical implant related infections0.5%g/L povidone–iodine sterilization 10 min is accepted.

Background: β-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A and has great commercial value as an additive in foods and feeds. Many pathways not directly related to the β-carotene synthesis affect β-carotene production since the interactions among metabolic fluxes of cells confer a complex regulatory network. Engineered Y. lipolytica strain has excellent potential for β-carotene production as oleaginous yeast. Optimizing indirectly metabolic pathways in Y. lipolytica may offer a new strategy for making the β-carotene production achieve a commercially viable yield.Results: In this study, we found that the proper promotion of the multivesicular body (MVB) sorting pathway elevated the production of β-carotene by 1.58 fold when overexpressing one copy of the Did2 gene in Y. lipolytica. Through the measurement of ATP, NADPH, the mRNA, and protein level of key genes in the β-carotene synthesis pathway, the reason for β-carotene elevated was deuced that the protein level of the key enzymes (tHMG and CarA) was increased. When overexpressing two copies of the Did2 gene, the transcription level of the key genes was all elevated. However, the protein level of key enzymes in the β-carotene synthesis pathway was reduced compared with the overexpressing one copy of the Did2 gene, which resulted in reduced β-carotene content.Conclusion: This study suggests that the MVB sorting pathway is not responsible for sorting protein but has a crucial regulating effect on protein abundance in cells. Engineering the MVB sorting pathway could potentially increase the production of other high-value products. Moreover, manipulation of indirectly related metabolic pathways also is a critical strategy in synthetic biology research.

Background: Arthritis and joint pain have shown high prevalence rates in agricultural workers and is of concern because many agricultural operations are sustained by a small number of workers. The disability of even one worker may therefore contribute to economic hardship. This study investigated joint health in Montana agricultural workers and its economic effects on ranches and farms. Methods: The aims of this study were to determine associations between years working in agriculture and joint health, and between joint health and the economic health of a ranch or farm. A total of 299 ranchers and farmers in nine Montana counties completed a survey that included an assessment of the economic health of the ranch or farm, work capacity, and the need to rely on others to complete one’s work. Focus groups were then held with ranchers in two Montana counties, discussing similar topics. Results: 87.6% of survey respondents reported joint pain, 47.8% a diagnosis of arthritis, and 22.4% osteoarthritis (OA). Using proportional odds regression analysis, a 10-point increase in the Western Ontario and McMaster University arthritis index (WOMAC) score was significantly associated with lower work capacity (OR 2.00; 95% CI [1.58, 2.55], p<0.01), worse financial condition (OR 1.23; 95% CI [1.01,1.48], p=0.04), and increased reliance on others (OR 1.82; 95% CI [1.32, 2.55], p<0.01). A diagnosis of arthritis was associated with moving to a worse category of work capacity (OR 4.66; 95% CI [2.71, 8.01], p<0.01) and increased odds of relying on others (OR 3.23; 95% CI [1.56, 6.66], p<0.01), compared to those without arthritis. A diagnosis of OA was significantly associated with decreased work capacity (OR 3.47; 95% CI [1.97, 6.11], p<0.01). Adjusting for age and BMI, we found no association between years spent working in agriculture and joint health. Focus group themes included decreased productivity with increased joint symptoms and a tendency for ranchers to avoid interaction with the health care system. Conclusions: This mixed-methods study demonstrated an association between poor joint health and economic risk on Montana ranches and farms.

Background:China launched New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NRCMS) in 2003. However, satisfaction and voluntary participation in NRCMS of Liaoning province was unknown after ten years launching of NRCMS. Methods: In 2014, a total of 1500 individuals from 12 general hospitals in Liaoyang City, Dalian City, Panjin City and Tieling City of Liaoning Province were investigated using self-administered questionnaire by trained staff. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to find out the satisfaction with NRCMS and its influencing factors among population from Liaoning province. Results: Of all respondents, 180 individuals (13.8%) were highly or relatively satisfied with the program. Moreover, 1092 individuals (84.0%) were fairly satisfied with the program, whereas 29 individuals (2.2%) were not. Multivariate analysis showed the price and range of drug, reimbursement ratio, simplicity of reimbursement procedures and medical technology level of hospitals were the main factors influencing the satisfaction.Conclusion: The overall satisfaction degree of Liaoning province's participating in NRCMS participant is at the middle level. In the process of seeking medical treatment, efforts are made to improve the reimbursement level, simplify the reimbursement procedures, increase the types of drugs in the reimbursement catalogue, and simultaneously take effective measures to control drug prices.
