Factors Affecting Medication Adherence in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Boo Sunjoo
Published: November 2021

Background: Adherence to medication in patients with rheumatoid arthritis has been associated with decreased disease activity and morbidity in prior reports. However, adherence in this population remains suboptimal. This study evaluated the levels of medication adherence and determined the factors thereof in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from 345 rheumatoid arthritis outpatients at a university-affiliated hospital. The level of medication adherence was then determined. Lastly, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors significantly associated with medication adherence.Results: Approximately 65% of the subjects were categorized as medication-adherent. In univariate analysis, educational level, perceived health, attitude toward medication, and level of learned helplessness all differed significantly between the adherent and nonadherent groups. When controlling for other factors, higher levels of learned helplessness significantly lowered the likelihood of patients’ adherence to medication in our cohort.Conclusions: Given that learned helplessness is modifiable, the results of this study suggest that interventions to decrease the degree of learned helplessness should be developed and implemented in order to increase the levels of medication adherence in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and improve clinical outcomes

Authors: Jung Seung-Hye , Choo Jina , Kim Hye-Jin
Published: November 2021

Background: The purpose of the study was to examine associations between depressive symptoms and work-related musculoskeletal symptoms, and health-promoting behaviors in Korean Coast Guards who are exposed to a vulnerable working environment.Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with 271 Korean Coast Guards in Gangwon-do. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Korean version of Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depressive Scale-Revised. Work-related musculoskeletal symptoms were measured using the KOSHA (Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency) GUIDE H-9-2012. Health-promoting behaviors were measured using the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II.Results: Of all the Korean Coast Guards, 17.3% represents the risk of clinical depression, and 43.5% reported work-related musculoskeletal symptoms in any body parts. The average score of health-promoting behaviors were 2.4 (range, 1-4 scores). Depressive symptoms and work-related musculoskeletal symptoms were significantly negatively associated with health-promoting behaviors, respectively. Depressive symptoms were significantly negatively associated with the spiritual growth, interpersonal relationship, physical activity, and stress management in subscales of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II. Work-related musculoskeletal symptoms were significantly negatively associated with the physical activity and stress management in subscales of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II.Conclusions: Among Korean Coast Guards, health-promoting behaviors were significantly associated with depressive symptoms and work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. Therefore, nursing strategies to promote health-promoting behaviors may be enhanced psychological health and physical health outcome of Korean Coast Guards.
Analysis of fractional hybrid differential equations with impulses in partially ordered Banach algebras
Authors: You Jin , Han Zhenlai
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we investigate a class of fractional hybrid differential equations with impulses, which can be seen as nonlinear differential equations with a quadratic perturbation of second type and a linear perturbation in partially ordered Banach algebras. We deduce the existence and approximation of a mild solution for the initial value problems of this system by applying Dhage iteration principles and related hybrid fixed point theorems. Compared with previous works, we generalize the results to fractional order and extend some existing conclusions for the first time. Meantime, we take into consideration the effect of impulses. Our results indicate the influence of fractional order for nonlinear hybrid differential equations and improve some known results, which have wider applications as well. A numerical example is included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

A Single-Center Description of Pediatric Transfusion Reactions and Preventable Patient Harm
Authors: Johns Claire , Bakhtary Sara , Wu Ruobin , Nedelcu Elena
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

In previous studies, researchers highlight that children have higher rates of transfusion reactions than adults. However, little is known about the pediatric populations that experience reactions, and there are no reports that consider appropriateness of pediatric transfusions in relation to preventable harm. With this study, we aim to describe pediatric transfusion reactions occurring at an academic institution and to quantify transfusion reactions that resulted from inappropriate transfusion indications, thereby identifying an area of potentially preventable patient harm (PPH).

METHODS

This is a case series of acute transfusion reactions in pediatric patients at a single institution from January 2018 to December 2019. We reviewed patient data, clinical documentation, and transfusion reaction reports to determine the appropriateness of transfusions and calculate PPH.

RESULTS

A total 155 acute transfusion reactions occurred in 106 pediatric patients, amounting to a total reaction rate of 544 of 100 000 transfusions. In 65% of reactions, the indication for transfusion was appropriate by institutional standards; 23% had questionable indication; and 12% were not indicated. The rate of potential PPH from inappropriate transfusions was 67 of 100 000 transfusions.

CONCLUSIONS

Transfusion reactions that occur during inappropriately ordered blood transfusions represent PPH. Efforts should be made to develop transfusion guidelines, standardize practice, and educate physicians to prevent transfusion-related harm.
Defining Urinary Tract Infections in Children With Spina Bifida: A Systematic Review
Authors: Forster Catherine S. , Kowalewski Nina N. , Atienza Matthew , Reines Katy , Ross Sherry
Published: November 2021

CONTEXT

Children with spina bifida are at high risk for urinary tract infections (UTI). However, there is no standardized definition of UTI in this population, leading to variability in both clinical management and research. This was highlighted in the 2013 systematic review on the same topic.

OBJECTIVE

Evaluate the frequency with which researchers are defining UTI in their studies of children with spina bifida and to determine what parameters are used.

DATA SOURCES

We searched Medline and Scopus databases for articles that included pediatric patients with spina bifida and used UTI as an outcome.

STUDY SELECTION

Exclusion criteria included publication before October 1, 2012, non-English language, and nonprimary research articles.

DATA EXTRACTION

Two independent reviewers each extracted data.

RESULTS

A total of 39 studies were included; 74% of these analyzed included an explicit definition of UTI. The most commonly used definition included a combination of symptoms and culture results (34.5%), whereas 31% used a combination of symptoms, culture results, and urinalysis data. Only 3.4% of articles used a urine culture alone to define UTI.

CONCLUSIONS

More articles that focus on children with spina bifida included a definition of UTI. However, significant variability persists in the definition of UTI in this patient population.
Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Authors: Febres-Cordero Daniela A. , Young Brett C.
Published: November 2021

Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The condition presents heterogeneously at varying gestational ages. Primary prevention for preeclampsia with low-dose aspirin is recommended for patients with clinical risk factors. Despite extensive research, there is no clearly defined pathophysiology for preeclampsia or treatment for preeclampsia besides delivery of the placenta. Delivery of patients with preeclampsia without severe features is indicated in the early term period at 37 weeks’ gestation and sooner if the patient develops severe preeclampsia. Management of preterm preeclampsia is guided by close assessment of the status of the pregnant woman and fetus, blood pressure control, and surveillance for any clinical progression to a more severe form of preeclampsia that may require preterm delivery. In a preterm gestation affected by preeclampsia, expectant management is intended to provide neonatal benefit though it does assume some maternal risk. Future research will hopefully further delineate the pathophysiology of the condition with the ultimate goal of finding a treatment to avoid associated morbidity and preterm delivery.

Authors: Vrouenraets Lieke J.J.J. , de Vries Annelou L.C. , de Vries Martine C. , van der Miesen Anna I.R. , Hein Irma M.
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

According to international transgender care guidelines, an important prerequisite for puberty suppression (PS) is transgender adolescents’ competence to give informed consent (IC). In society, there is doubt whether transgender adolescents are capable of this, which in some countries has even led to limited access to this intervention. Therefore, this study examined transgender adolescents’ medical decision-making competence (MDC) to give IC for starting PS in a structured, replicable way. Additionally, potential associated variables on MDC, such as age, intelligence, sex, psychological functioning, were investigated.

METHODS

A cross-sectional semistructured interview study with 74 transgender adolescents (aged 10–18 years; 16 birth-assigned boys, 58 birth-assigned girls) within two Dutch specialized gender-identity clinics was performed. To assess MDC, judgements based on the reference standard (clinical assessment) and the MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool for Treatment (MacCAT-T), a validated semistructured interview, were used.

RESULTS

Of the transgender adolescents, 93.2% (reference standard judgements; 69 of 74) and 89.2% (MacCAT-T judgements; 66 of 74) were assessed competent to consent. Intermethod agreement was 87.8% (65 of 74). Interrater agreements of the reference standard and MacCAT-T-based judgements were 89.2% (198 of 222) and 86.5% (192 of 222), respectively. IQ and sex were both significantly related to MacCAT-T total score, whereas age, level of emotional and behavioral challenges, and diagnostic trajectories duration were not.

CONCLUSIONS

By using the MacCAT-T and clinicians’ assessments, 93.2% and 89.2%, respectively, of the transgender adolescents in this study were assessed competent to consent for starting PS.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: Critical Success Factors (CSF) identify key areas for a company to succeed. This study creates a model to analyze CSF in civil construction project management, using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). For that, a literature review was performed to identify CSF emphasizing project management. Once the CSF were identified, a questionnaire was sent to educational institutions to evaluate the effect of each factor. Response analysis was made by the Relative Importance Index, using ANN coupled with the resilient propagation algorithm to evaluate the CSF. A total of 37,822 articles were found in 2,328 journals. Of 874 e-mails sent, 191 were answered. The respondents were distributed in 26 Brazilian states, with 70% of them being professors/researchers, 26% coordinators, 2% Rector, and 1% Director/Manager. Weights were determined using the Garson algorithm. The most critical factor in project management was ‘Unrealistic inspection and test methods in the contract’. Artificial Neural Networks produce subsidies to know the relevance of the input variables adopted and constitute an effective means for modeling nonlinear variables.
ATRAVESSANDO AS PORTAS DOS PUTEIROS: COMO AS TEORIAS FEMINISTAS CHEGAM NA ZONA?
Authors: Clarindo Adriely , Zamboni Jésio , Martins Rafaela
Published: November 2021

Resumo Muitos estudos sobre prostituição e prostitutas não apresentam os sentidos e significados atribuídos por elas sobre a própria vida e trabalho. Em vista disso, aliançando-me ao que colegas prostitutas relatavam sobre o assunto e a discussões realizadas junto a parceiros acadêmicos, esta pesquisa é construída através das minhas viagens como puta e pesquisadora a três diferentes zonas, objetivando compreender como as teorias feministas chegam por lá. Narrativas de prostitutas e concepções de algumas teóricas feministas sobre prostituição são entremeadas como forma de compor o debate. Para realizá-lo, entrelaço a proposta de Donna Haraway sobre saberes localizados ao modo de narração oferecido pelo filósofo Walter Benjamin, como forma de contestar narrativas hegemônicas sobre prostituição, assim como afirmar minha conexão parcial com as prostitutas. Por fim, noto que os feminismos quase não chegam às zonas pesquisadas, e quando chegam o fazem através de discursos culpabilizantes.

Published: November 2021

Resumo O objetivo deste relato é apresentar uma experiência sobre o desenvolvimento do Protagonismo Juvenil dos adolescentes e jovens que estão em cumprimento de medidas socioeducativas em meio aberto, a partir de Oficinas Temáticas realizadas no Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social (CREAS). Para o desenvolvimento das oficinas foi construído um jogo de interpretação de personagem que teve a missão de revitalizar uma quadra de esportes. Partindo de um tema de interesse e de um jogo criado a partir da realidade concreta dos jovens, foi possível perceber o papel protagônico e o envolvimento dos jovens, que fomentou discussões sobre os serviços públicos e como poderiam se articular para modificar a realidade da quadra esportiva. Além disso, foi possível ampliar as discussões sobre outros direitos, como o direito ao esporte e ao lazer. Assim, trabalhar o protagonismo juvenil é reafirmar os adolescentes e jovens como sujeitos de direitos.
MUSICOTERAPIA SOCIAL E COMUNITÁRIA E PROCESSOS DE SUBJETIVAÇÃO POLÍTICA

Published: November 2021

Resumo Este artigo apresenta reflexões e análises sobre a Musicoterapia Social e Comunitária na América Latina e apresenta alguns deslocamentos na posição de musicoterapeutas que podem possibilitar alargamentos no campo de possíveis, tanto no âmbito da Musicoterapia Social e Comunitária como no campo de existência das pessoas. As informações que aqui analisamos foram construídas por meio de entrevistas e pesquisa no cotidiano de trabalho de musicoterapeutas latino-americanos/as. Acreditamos que alguns deslocamentos da posição de musicoterapeutas podem impulsionar a criação de processos de subjetivação política. A partir da perspectiva de Jacques Rancière, compreendemos que é por meio de processos de subjetivação política que lugares identitários podem ser tensionados, perturbando assim as formas de pensabilidade, audibilidade e visibilidade operantes nos cotidianos com os quais temos trabalhado. Por fim, apresentamos a possibilidade da criação artística no processo de alargamento das possibilidades de ser, pensar e agir.

ABSTRACT Objective: to map available evidence on the use of technologies by Primary Health Care users in the context of health promotion. Method: this is a scoping review according to Joanna Briggs Institute, and the recommendations of the international guide Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews were followed. The PCC strategy (participants, concept and context) was used. The search in the databases was carried out from January to April 2020. Results: a total of 5,267 studies were retrieved and 28 articles were selected for review. The article origin was diverse, with the largest number being from the United States of America (7), the predominant language is English, the year was 2018 and the level of evidence 2. Studies show that users obtain benefits in health care through the use of technologies. Conclusion: health interventions, using technology, positively impact people’s behavior and lifestyle, focusing on the prevention and control of chronic diseases. It is noteworthy that technologies used in isolation cannot overcome behavioral barriers and their use does not replace one-to-one care and monitoring.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the bond strength of repairs with the self-adhering flowable composite Vertise Flow (Kerr) and a conventional composite resin Filtek Z350 (3M ESPE) subjected to different surface treatments. Methods: Forty specimens were divided into four groups: ZV (Filtek Z350 + Vertise Flow, without prior treatment); ZAV (Z350 + Vertise Flow with prior treatment with Single Bond Universal Adhesive System (3M ESPE)); ZAZ (Filtek Z350 + Filtek Z350 with prior treatment with Single Bond Universal Adhesive System (3M ESPE)); VV (Vertise Flow + Vertise Flow, without prior treatment). After 15 days of storage, the specimens were subjected to microtensile tests (Kratos IKCL3-USB, SP, Brazil), with speed of 0.5 mm/min and 20kg load. For statistical analysis, ANOVA with Tukey tests were used (p < 5%). Results: The mean values of the bond strength were highest respectively in the groups: ZV (36.07 ± 37.63); ZAZ (24.04 ± 28.51); VV (19.39 ± 28.24) and ZAV (16.06 ± 15.66). The bond strength of the repairs between the groups presented satisfactory results. Conclusion: The self-adhesive composite resin Vertise Flow seems to be a viable and fast alternative for composite resins repairs.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the association between orthodontic treatment need and the self-reported bullying, and its impact on adolescents’ self-esteem. Methods: The sample consisted of 160 schoolchildren from 11 to 14 years of age, enrolled in public schools. The history of bullying was evaluated by means of the Crozier; Dimmock adapted Questionnaire (1999). Self-esteem was determined by means of the Global Negative Self-Evaluation Scale (GSE). The normative orthodontic treatment need was determined by the Dental Health Component (DHC) and perceived need, by Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Individual analyses were made of the associations with the history of bullying (outcome). Results: The variables that presented P ? 0.20 in the individual analyses were tested in a multiple logistic regression model, and variables with P ? 0.05 remained in the model. The odds ratios with the intervals of confidence were estimated. According to the results 72.5% of the schoolchildren reported a history of bullying. The schoolchildren who presented negative impact on the quality of life related to oral symptoms and negative self-esteem were observed to have 4.59 and 5.44 times more chance, respectively to report a history of bullying (P < 0.05), which did not suffer the influence of normative and perceived orthodontic treatment need. Conclusion: The history of bullying was not influenced by orthodontic treatment need, but by the low self-esteem of adolescents.

Abstract Screening instruments to detect symptoms of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the school setting are still needed. The study aimed to develop the Autistic Spectrum Disorder Behavior Scale (ASD-BS) according to the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). The scale consists of 31 items, divided into communication; social interactions; restrictive, repetitive and ritual behaviors; and other indicators. The content validity included five expert judges and a pilot sample with 29 children between six and 12 years old. The results were shown to be adequate, all items reached agreement rates above 80% and Kappa of 0.84. Exploratory statistical analyzes showed Cronbach’s alpha equal to 0.78, sensitivity values ranging from 86 to 93% and specificity from 34 to 100%. ASD-BS is of quick implementation, uses the teacher as an informant and contributes to psychological assessment.

RESUMO Objetivo verificar se o desempenho de pré-escolares nascidos prematuros e a termo no subteste de linguagem da Bayley-III difere e identificar se as variáveis idade gestacional, peso ao nascer, nível socioeconômico e escolaridade materna são determinantes no desfecho de desenvolvimento de linguagem. Método estudo transversal descritivo caso controle em que 36 pré-escolares nascidos prematuros e 27 nascidos a termo foram avaliados em relação ao desenvolvimento de linguagem pelo subteste da Bayley III. Foram considerados pré-escolares entre 18 e 36 meses de idade cronológica; com ausência de síndromes ou alterações genéticas, sensoriais, neurológicas, auditivas ou visuais; e que não tinham realizado terapia fonoaudiológica previamente. Os testes de Mann-Whitney, Exato de Fisher e regressão logística binária foram utilizados para análise estatística. Resultados o desempenho dos grupos não diferiu seja pela pontuação composta (p=0,701) ou pela classificação baseada no percentil (p=0,225). A idade gestacional, o peso ao nascimento e o nível socioeconômico não influenciaram no desfecho do desenvolvimento de linguagem. No entanto, a escolaridade materna foi significativa (p=0,014) no modelo de regressão logística binária, sugerindo que a mãe ter estudado até a educação básica aumenta a chance de ter um filho com desempenho abaixo do esperado no subteste de linguagem da Bayley III em 6,31 vezes. Conclusão não houve diferença entre os grupos no subteste de linguagem da Bayley-III e apenas a escolaridade materna influenciou no desfecho do desenvolvimento de linguagem.

RESUMO O presente artigo pretende mostrar como foi relevante o envolvimento de Artur Azevedo com a luta pelo fim da escravidão no Brasil. Na década de 1880, deflagrada a campanha abolicionista, ele escreveu uma comédia e um drama para condenar a instituição do cativeiro; em seguida, nas revistas de ano, uma forma de teatro cômico e musicado, satirizou os senhores escravocratas e denunciou os crimes que cometeram contra os escravizados. Também como jornalista Artur Azevedo escreveu artigos comprometidos com a causa abolicionista.
Nos limites do conhecimento, nos limites da forma: uma leitura de sonetos de Rilke e Hermann Broch
Authors: Perez Juliana P. , Bonomo Daniel R. , Serpa Danilo C.
Published: November 2021

RESUMO Diversos escritores de língua alemã refletiram em seus textos sobre questões epistemológicas e compreenderam a literatura como uma forma específica de conhecimento, em condições de avançar sobre domínios às vezes inacessíveis, às vezes complementares à investigação científica. No início do século XX, Rainer Maria Rilke e Hermann Broch utilizaram-se - entre outros meios - da forma do soneto para realizar tal reflexão. Em Rilke, tal interesse está posto tanto em sonetos dos Novos poemas quanto nos Sonetos a Orfeu; em Broch, numa fase inicial e menos conhecida de sua obra, que prepara a ampla reflexão epistemológica que se realizará em seus romances.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to compare herbage accumulation and canopy structural characteristics during the stockpiling period of the Marandu, Piatã, Xaraés, and Paiaguás cultivars of Urochloa brizantha. The experimental design was completely randomized, with three replicates. The experiment was repeated for two years (2017 and 2018), under mechanical cutting conditions, and the canopies were stockpiled for 90 days, from March to June. In the first year, forage mass was higher for the Xaraés and Paiaguás cultivars; however, in the second year, Xaraés showed a forage mass higher than that of the other cultivars. The number of vegetative tillers at the end of the stockpiling period was higher for Paiaguás, contrary to what was observed for number of reproductive tillers. The herbage accumulation rate was higher for the Paiaguás and Xaraés cultivars. The Paiaguás grass stands out for its high herbage accumulation rate during the stockpiling period and for its higher number of vegetative tillers and lower number of reproductive tillers than that of the other cultivars.
Improvement of first-mile service based on passengers’ choice of travel mode
Authors: Huang Junsheng , Mao Baohua , Wu Gang
Published: November 2021

The first-mile service (FMS) refers to the modal choice for the first part of a commuting journey. A well-designed FMS can provide a seamless travel to access public transport services. This research was driven by the efficiency of different travel modes (e.g. taxi, shared bike, bus) in the FMS. Based on realistic travel experience, an expected utility model for each travel mode was developed. Then, a framework based on evolutionary game theory was designed to deal with the issue of passengers’ dynamic interactions during the FMS. Both infinite- and finite-population scenarios were considered. The simulation results showed that walking is the first choice for passengers in comfortable weather and taking a taxi is the first choice in adverse weather. After the implementation of effective strategies, passengers’ travel efficiency increases simultaneously. As such, effective strategies such as shared electric bikes, customised buses and taxi-sharing behaviour are encouraged in FMS planning.
Thread/Warp
Authors: Cruz Jenny Logico , Cruz Blonski Campos
Published: November 2021

Thread/Warp was an online durational performance that investigated into the idea of stamina amidst our performance-obsessed, techno-contemporary world. Performed live on July 14 in a span of 12 hours via Zoom (and occasionally streamed via Facebook Live), Thread/Warp featured two performers in separate screen windows as they navigated the spectacle and exploitation of their bodies in two intersecting spaces: 1) the confines and confidentiality of their private domestic space(s); and 2) the expansive and exposing nature of the public space via their relationship with the video cameras.  Thread/Warp sought to explore what it meant to sustain energy, tenacity, resilience, and patience—especially in a climate wherein we are relentlessly expected to perform beyond what’s necessary; to tirelessly create infinite yet exhausted spectacles of both our physical and virtual bodies; and to constantly amplify our human stamina in order to brutally compete with the stamina of technology itself. To put the concept into methodical exploration, this project utilized the concept of space as a crucial stimulus in conditioning one’s body to perform beyond what’s necessary. Specifically, the project took into account two spaces that had radically shaped our relationship with stamina —the private and the public—no longer as two distinct and separate entities, but rather as spheres that constantly intersect, overlap, blur, and at times even trade with one another. Thread/Warp examined the shifting conditions of the private domestic space—from a supposed place of rest and rejuvenation to a place of perpetual labour and recycled productions—and how these unprecedented changes either deflate or escalate our stamina. Secondly was the method on public space, in which the project investigated how public exposure (via Zoom and Facebook Live) radically maneuvered our sense of stamina, and how this further warped and manipulated our relationship with rest, recuperation, production, performance, labour, and ultimately, individual purpose and meaning. By considering the interjections of the private and public space, the project explored how this further affected tremendous change in the dynamic, potency, and frailty in the performer’s body.

The Virtual is Material: Music Improvisation in Post-Digital Ecologies
Authors: Stapleton Paul , Bowers John , Melbye Adam Pultz
Published: November 2021

Link to performance: https://vimeo.com/640946914/cf858052e1This performance-lecture was originally presented at the DRHA (Digital Research in the Humanities and Arts) conference in 2021 in Berlin. 3BP (Paul Stapleton, Adam Pultz Melbye and John Bowers) presents three views on the creation of an online performance ecology that allows the trio to improvise together, despite living in three separate locations. Rather than trying to overcome the instabilities and artefacts introduced by the fluctuations in data transfer, 3BP describe how such properties become native to the trios understanding of its own practice, affording new areas of creative exploration and consideration. The trio draws on Karen Barad’s use of terms such as diffraction and apparatus to discuss how music-making and improvisation embedded in run-away technologies affords emergent behaviour that transcends reflection to allow for diverse and unstable non-linear performances.
A Shift Towards Digital and Participatory Performance Practice Post-Pandemic
Authors: Mastrominico Bianca , de Roza Elizabeth
Published: November 2021

This perspective analyses and reflects upon the experience of conceiving, curating and participating in Bodies:On:Live – Magdalena:On:Line, the first online multi-platform Magdalena Festival, bringing together digitally competent artists with creative roots in the immateriality of the internet, in dialogue about current shifts in performance making with performers, writers, and directors declaring their uneasiness towards online adaptations of live work. As part of the global reaction to the standstill brought about by the Covid pandemic, we argue that shifts in practice for women in contemporary theatre associated with the Magdalena network – whether as an attempt for immediate artistic survival or a conscious experimental choice – were not exclusively determined by the available sharing of technical knowledge, or by the need to increase awareness of the digital medium in order to gain experience of different working modalities, but served a participatory and social purpose. These conditions were surfacing due to the digital space manifesting as a specific format of gathering through the Zoom windows and other platforms, which framed the encounters within a democratic performance arena, making the boundaries between participation and spectatorship porous. Therefore, the shift provoked by the festival not only pertains to the aesthetic sphere, but it is dynamically and organically geared towards the recognition of new working contexts arising from the unsettling experience of ‘disembodiment’ – as an ontological paradox of the original in-person Magdalena festival – and the embedded argument of the creative use of new technologies for a more sustainable and accessible future of performance making, both live and digital. 
A Micromobility Buffet: E-Scooters in the Context of Multimodal Spaces and Practices in Greater Manchester

We use the Capabilities Approach to understand the ways in which e-scooters, as transportation resources, provide qualities that contribute to the ability of the transport system to enable people to participate in society. Government-led trials have been taking place in the UK since autumn 2020, focused on the provision of sharing schemes and with the intention of creating an evidence base on usership and contextual issues. This paper draws from a mixed-methods study in Greater Manchester, combining online surveys, reference groups and qualitative interviews. The findings suggest that e-scooters have a potential role in expanding the reach and boosting the reliability and flexibility of the transport system. Their relationship with safety is complex. Road safety concerns and issues relating to sharing space present barriers. Conversely, in relation to personal safety, e-scooters provide an alternative to walking through areas in which people may otherwise feel unsafe. For some, e-scooters offer a more affordable alternative to public transport and ride-hailing, but the unpredictability of cost, stemming from the per-minute costing model, can pose challenges for others. The low level of exertion can distinguish e-scooters from other micromobility options and, whilst some might therefore question their value in health terms when compared with other active modes of transport, people with conditions that mean they need to carefully manage their energy expenditure can therefore find e-scooters useful. These potential benefits should however be considered in the context of challenges relating to shared space for walking, cycling and e-scooting.
Clutter and Compliance: Scooter Parking Interventions and Perceptions
Authors: Klein Nicholas , Brown Anne , Thigpen Calvin
Published: November 2021

Shared e-scooter programs often generate complaints about improper parking because it create unappealing clutter and can make it difficult for pedestrians to use the sidewalk. We examine how cities can address noncompliant scooter parking and explore public perceptions of this problem with two related studies. First, we conducted field experiments in Washington, DC (hereafter "DC"), and Auckland, New Zealand. We observed scooter parking and then evaluated the efficacy of three interventions to mitigate noncompliant parking. We find low rate of noncompliance, but the precise rate is highly dependent on how we define noncompliance. We also find that in-app message reminders and sidewalk decals marginally lowered rates of noncompliant parking, but the largest improvement in compliance occurred after DC implemented a requirement that scooters be physically locked to bike racks. Second, we examined public perceptions of improper parking by asking people how much noncompliant parking they think occurs and what practices they think constitute noncompliant parking. We find that the public overestimates improper parking of scooters and underestimates improper parking of bicycles and cars. Given their unfamiliarity with scooter parking regulations, respondents use pedestrian accessibility and tidiness as heuristics to determine what counts as proper scooter parking.Our results suggest that intuitive parking solutions that align with perceptions of orderly parking, such as bike racks or on-street parking corrals, can improve rider compliance and may reduce public dissatisfaction with shared scooter parking.
Equipping Active Travel Advocates with Digital Mobility Data and Tools: An Evaluation of a US Trial Program

Shared micromobility services that offer bikes and scooters on demand are complementing walking, cycling, and public transport to expand the role of active mobility in urban transportation. However, on-demand services are often introduced at a faster pace than streets are redesigned to protect the safety of users. The lack of safe street infrastructure limits the potentiail mode shift to micromobility and the associated benefits. Active travel advocacy groups can make a critical difference, but they generally lack access to data resources.In 2020, Spin, a shared micromobility company, launched an initative called Mobility Data for Safer Streets (MDSS). This involved equipping six advocacy organizations in five US cities with a suite of mobility data tools to support their efforts to make streets safer. This research sought to understand how access to mobility data can help active travel advocates be more effective and was assessed via interviews with awardees throughout the 15-month program. Access to data improved advocates' effectiveness in working with the local government, garnering community support, supporting underserved communities, and advocating safe streets for all road users in their work. The MDSS model can be replicated to empower advocates or other stakeholders to advance collective understanding of active travel and influence supportive planning and policy.
El patrimonio artístico y los estudios de público de museo: propuesta de un plan de acción en el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Cuba
Authors: Paz Vargas Natalie
Published: November 2021

El artículo muestra los principales resultados de una investigación realizada en el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Cuba (MNBA). La pesquisa se llevó a cabo por la necesidad de conocer las implicaciones sociales de la relación que establece la institución con su público joven y por la necesidad del MNBA de acercarse a dicho público. A los efectos de este artículo, el objetivo es proponer un plan de acción que contribuya a acercar el MNBA a su público joven. Para la propuesta fueron esenciales las representaciones del patrimonio artístico en el público de la institución. El estudio encontró asidero en la Teoría de la Representación Social (TRS) y en las bases conceptuales de la gestión cultural. Está regido por el método sociológico, por lo cual se utilizan ambas perspectivas metodológicas: cualitativa y cuantitativa. Los resultados arrojaron que existen tres grupos de jóvenes que conforman el público joven y tienen distintas representaciones del patrimonio. Se concluye que, dichas representaciones son un pilar esencial en la propuesta del plan de acción, que cuenta con dos características fundamentales: está elaborado en forma de sistema y concebido para que sea sostenible.
PLANT-PLANT INTERACTIONS IN PEA-CEREAL MIXTURES UNDER HEAT STRESS CONDITIONS OF SECOND CROP SEASON

Plant-plant interactions could shift from facilitation to competition or vice versa depending on stress conditions. Many researchers are investigating these interactions among the plant species but knowledge about the effect of these interactions on the establishment and growth is limited. Therefore, the effect of plant-plant interactions on forage yield and quality were investigated in pea-cereal mixtures under Central Anatolia conditions during the 2018 and 2019 years. Forage pea were sown using different densities (80, 100, 120 plants m-2) and as binary mixtures with 50-75 % reduced seeding ratio of oat, silage maize, and Sudangrass as a mixture. Dry matter yield was the highest in pea density of 100 plants m-2. All mixtures increased dry matter yield but decreased the crude protein content concerning forage pea monoculture. The highest dry matter yield was 7224,7 kg ha-1 and it was recorded in the mixture that 50 % reduced silage maize used. Sudangrass mixtures negatively affect the crude protein content in the mixture and decreased it down to 14,58 % but it was, nevertheless, considerably high. Forage NDF and ADF contents were generally higher in Sudangrass mixtures. Above-and belowground relative neighbor effects (ABRNE and BGRNE respectively) were facilitative under stressful climate conditions of 2018 but they shifted into competition in 2019. The cereals used in the mixtures caused a competitive effect on forage pea in terms of BGRNE. The results indicated that plant-plant interactions could significantly affect the forage yield, quality, and competition. Forage pea (100 plants m-2) could be cultivated as a second crop when sown as a binary mixture using 50% reduced silage maize (5000 plants m-2).
