Adapting Gravity Model for Predicting the Risk of COVID -19 in Nigeria
Authors: Olaitan Olanrewaju Samson , Oluwaseun Olowoporoku
Published: September 2020

Background:

It is against the background of the emerging incidence of coronavirus pandemic
in Nigeria and the need for its management that this study adapts the gravity model for predicting the
risk of the disease across states of the country.

Methods:

The paper relied on published government data on population and gross domestic product,
while the distance of town to the nearest international airport was also obtained. These data were logtransformed
and further used in the calculation of gravity scores for each state of the federation.

Results:

The study discovered that with the gravity score ranging from 2.942 to 4.437, all the states of
the federation have the risk of being infected with the pandemic. Meanwhile, Ogun State (4.837) has a
very high risk of being infected with the disease. Other states with high risks are Oyo (4.312), Jigawa
(4.235), Niger (4.148), and Katsina (4.083). However, Taraba State has the least infection risk of pandemic
in Nigeria. Factors influencing the risk level of the pandemic are proximity, the porous boundary
between states, and elitism.

Conclusion:

The paper advocates border settlement planning, review of housing standards, and advocacy for sanitation in different states.
It therefore concludes that adequate urban planning in unison with economic and epidemiology techniques will provide a
strong strategy for the management of the disease.
Testing Wearable UV Sensors to Improve Sun Protection in Young Adults at an Outdoor Festival: Field Study (Preprint)
Authors: Horsham Caitlin , Antrobus Jodie , Olsen Catherine M , Ford Helen , Abernethy David , Hacker Elke
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND

Australia and New Zealand have the highest skin cancer incidence rates worldwide, and sun exposure is the main risk factor for developing skin cancer. Sun exposure during childhood and adolescence is a critical factor in developing skin cancer later in life.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to test the effectiveness of wearable UV sensors to increase sun protection habits (SPH) and prevent sunburn in adolescents.

METHODS

During the weeklong school leavers outdoor festival (November 2019) at the Gold Coast, Australia, registered attendees aged 15-19 years were recruited into the field study. Participants were provided with a wearable UV sensor and free sunscreen. The primary outcome was sun exposure practices using the SPH index. Secondary outcomes were self-reported sunburns, sunscreen use, and satisfaction with the wearable UV sensor.

RESULTS

A total of 663 participants were enrolled in the study, and complete data were available for 188 participants (188/663, 28.4% response rate). Participants provided with a wearable UV sensor significantly improved their use of sunglasses (P=.004) and sunscreen use both on the face (P<.001) and on other parts of the body (P=.005). However, the use of long-sleeve shirts (P<.001) and the use of a hat (P<.001) decreased. During the study period, 31.4% (59/188) of the participants reported receiving one or more sunburns. Satisfaction with the wearable UV sensor was high, with 73.4% (138/188) of participants reporting the UV sensor was helpful to remind them to use sun protection.

CONCLUSIONS

Devices that target health behaviors when outdoors, such as wearable UV sensors, may improve use of sunscreen and sunglasses in adolescents.
From Renewable Energy to Renewable Fuel: A Sustainable Hydrogen Production
Authors: Mulla Rafiq , Dunnill Charles W.
Published: September 2020

Hydrogen, a zero-emission fuel and the universal energy vector, can be easily produced from many different energy sources. It is a storable, transportable product that can be used on demand to overcome supply and demand imbalances. As of today, most of the hydrogen produced comes from natural gas; the production process itself is in fact not so pollution free. As the world is looking for a low carbon future, researchers have therefore been looking for more sustainable, environmentally friendly pathways of hydrogen production by using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Among the different methods, water electrolysis is a conventional and promising method of hydrogen production if renewable energy sources are to be employed in the process. Lots of progress has been made over the past few years in extending the use of hydrogen in different sectors. This perspective article briefly covers the recent developments in the hydrogen fuel-based projects and technologies and provides a description of the advantages of employing renewable energy sources for sustainable hydrogen production.
Emergent Urbanism & Beyond: Times of Transformation and Paradigm Shifts with a Twist on Heritage Urbanism
Authors: Haas Tigran , Olsson Krister
Published: September 2020

This paper is the product of reflections on the consequences of the latest discoveries of Emergent Urbanism that the authors identify as the specific issue dominating today's urban planning and urban design discourse, arguing that urban planning and design not only results from deliberate planning and design measures, but how these combine with infrastructure planning, and derive from economic, social and spatial processes of structural change. In the paper we reflectively also discuss ideas about urban heritage, urban planning & design, and how heritage and planning & design can contribute to urban development. Urban heritage is understood as an infrastructure comparable with other infrastructures that provide an arena for urban planning & design and urban social and economic development. Moreover, the paper includes a remodeled and novel, short discussion and standpoint about five contemporary urban planning & design ideals that dominate the contemporary planning & design discourse, and their different views of the past and urban heritage. The paper concludes that in any given situation and context, the dominating urban planning & design ideal define the specific urban heritage, and, thus, influence how we will understand the past—today and in the future but also the paper maintains that, we must equally recognize how forces of economic, social and spatial structural change contribute to shaping the contemporary urban landscape.
Atrapada entre sistemas legales: valor del precedente para la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos
Authors: Zavala Achurra María Elisa
Published: September 2020

Este artículo busca determinar si las sentencias de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos constituyen fuentes principales o subsidiarias de derecho. Con aquel objetivo se contrasta el sistema de precedente, propio de la tradición anglosajona, con la manera en que falla dicho tribunal. Se atiende, en primer lugar, al funcionamiento del sistema de precedente, con énfasis en el concepto de stare decisis. Luego, se realiza un contraste entre la forma en que falla la Corte Interamericana con la manera en que lo hacen los tribunales en el sistema de precedente, con el fin de determinar por qué la corte analizada cita su propia jurisprudencia en sus fallos. Esto se aborda tanto desde una perspectiva teórica normativa, como desde un prisma jurisprudencial práctico. A los países del sistema interamericano no puede serles indiferente que la pregunta planteada se responda de una u otra forma ya que han entregado parte de su soberanía a un órgano supranacional, y lo mínimo esperable es entender cómo falla.

The main issues in this service are related to sales and attractiveness and understanding related to product promotion. As well as the basis for using online applications, e-Commerce implementation requires a fundamental paradigm shift, from the original marketplace that emphasizes physical interaction between sellers and buyers into a market space that relies on electronic transactions. In a traditional marketplace, information, product / service, and payment traffic is physical (location based). In other words, the applicable business model is the geographic business model. Conversely, in a virtual marketplace, product information flow, communication processes between producers and consumers, distribution of goods / services and transactions take place in a virtual / virtual world. The purpose of this service is to improve the production process and the process of selling and utilizing resources in activities and choosing the right marketing channels as well as in the use of media so that the Jasmine 2 group in Batjoja Hamlet is one of the business actors that produce local processed products in Siberut District South. These service methods are outreach, activity assistance, attractive product packaging, online marketing management and activity evaluation. The result of this dedication is that the effort is socialized in this service through social media such as IG, and BUKALAPAK https://www.bukalapak.com/u/craftsinukerupuksagu. Brands and packaging have been designed in such a way and are expected to be increasingly recognized, the Service Team has also provided debriefing to partners in the form of "Smart Packaging" through training and outreach on suitable and appropriate packaging in attracting prospective customers, "standing poch" packaging with seals, which is more flexible and attractive in various sizes. The packaging is ready to be affixed to a complete brand sticker with the label. And many orders have arrived, especially from outside the Mentawai Islands district. Conclusion Melati 2 Group in running a business has the potential to produce value and money. Although the sales of the products produced namely inu craft and sago crackers are getting better locally but the equal distribution of sales and marketing of products is very good and many are interested, but it's just that the potential for promotion must always be done, especially for marketing outside the Island or outside the Regency so that in improving the economic partner groups in particular will increasingly step up. This is also based on information and education held by partner groups in terms of the production process and marketing selection

Authors: Normanita Rina
Published: September 2020

Purpose: Enterococcus faecalis causes nosocomial infections such as bacteremia, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, and endocarditis. These infection is associated with biofilm and intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics. This study aims to determine the validity of the CRA and MCRA for detecting biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis  Method: This is a laboratory observational study with 30 sample of Enterococcus faecalis. We performed biofilm examination for Enterococcus faecalis by using Congo red Agar, Modified Congo red Agar and Microtitter Plate Assay as gold standard. Result: Both MCRA and CRA were compared MPA as a gold standard was obtained p value is 0.309 (p> 0.05), with a Kappa agreement coefficient is 0.067, which indicates there is no significant agreement to detect biofilm of Enterococcus faecalis. MCRA and CRA have almost no compatibility with MPA for biofilm forming of Enterococcus faecalis. Conclusion: Both MCRA and CRA has a very high sensitivity (100%), but the specificity is very low 6.67% for detecting the biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis. MCRA and CRA can not determine negativity well and it have a high false positive rate, so to increase specificity of biofilm forming, we must combine these method with the others. Keywords: Biofilm, Enterococcus faecalis, CRA, MCRA, MPA.

Authors: Budi Setyawan Febri Endra , Widiadi Carla Edhina
Published: September 2020

Background : Nutritional status problems have many causes, including genetic, body metabolic conditions, behavior, environment, culture, and socioeconomic factors. One environmental factor that receives relatively limited attention is that children are exposed to undue stress, especially family stress. One of the factors influencing a child's nutritional status is his family. Family functions that run well can optimize the process of growth and development of children which can be described by the nutritional status. Optimization of nutritional status in children can not only be done from a clinical approach alone but needs holistic comprehensive management.Objective : The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of a holistic comprehensive health service approach through family functions on optimizing the nutritional status of junior high school students.Method : This study was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional approach with the subjects of Malang City's "Z" Junior High School  students.

The analysis is displayed in the form of frequency distribution and correlation using the Spearman test and logistic regressionResults and Discussion : Family function is quite influential on nutritional status (r = 0.445). In logistic regression, the equation Y = 8.563-0.582X1 - 0.992X2-0.606X3 is obtained. The most  influential family function is partnership of 99.2%. Partnership describes communication,  mutual sharing, mutual complementarity between  family members in  all problems faced by family members, as well as the level of deliberation in making decisions and or resolving a problem that is being faced with other family members. Comprehensive holistic health service approach is sufficient effect on nutritional status (r = 0.463).Conclusion : The holistic comprehensive health service approach gives sufficient influence on the nutritional status of students in Malang City's "Z" Junior High School.
Reorganizações Societárias e Agressividade Tributária
Authors: Costa Fábio Moraes da , Lucena Amorim Júnior Radjalma
Published: September 2020

Objetivo: verificar se as empresas que realizaram reorganizações societárias apresentam maior nível de agressividade fiscal, tanto em relação às empresas incorporadas quanto em relação aos efeitos da incorporação nas empresas incorporadoras.

Fundamento: o planejamento tributário é uma forma estratégica de aumento de competitividade, de lucratividade e, muitas vezes, de viabilidade do negócio, sendo, por última consequência, uma forma de se obter recursos internamente. Desse modo, a redução de carga tributária oriunda desses instrumentos pode ser um propulsor potencial para a realização do negócio.

Método: realizou-se a investigação por meio de análise das companhias listadas na Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3) que tiveram seu registro cancelado por incorporação e de suas respectivas incorporadoras. Após a análise para identificação do modelo adequado, rodaram-se os dados em regressão em painel com duplo efeito fixo (firma e ano).

Resultados: em relação às incorporadoras, os resultados indicam que não há efeito na taxa efetiva de tributos, quando comparadas ao grupo de controle. Já em relação às empresas incorporadas, foi possível identificar que a taxa efetiva de tributos corrente é menor no ano anterior ao do evento de reorganização societária.

Contribuições: as evidências indicam que a empresa que é objeto da aquisição (target) pode engajar-se em práticas mais agressivas para tornar-se mais atrativa. Por outro lado, apesar de mais agressivas, quando incorporadas não há efeito significativo na empresa incorporadora. Assim, os resultados contribuem para a compreensão da dinâmica da agressividade fiscal em reorganizações societárias.

También se busca determinar qué tipo de información es financiera y cuál es la información no financiera que tiene relevancia en nuestra auditoría, por tal motivo el auditor debe ser demasiado cuidadoso, porque podrá encontrar congruencias, con respecto a la información financiera ya auditada o a los estados financieros, y aunque no debe dar un dictamen de ello, sí es importante tenerla en cuenta para su informe final.
The public-private investment nexus in India: Evidence from a policy simulation approach
Authors: Bhat Sajad , Bhat Javed , Ajaz Taufeeq
Published: September 2020

This study investigates the influence of public investment on private
investment in India, at both the aggregate and Sectoral levels and under two
different modes of deficit financing - monetisation and commercial borrowing
- in an eclectic macroeconometric modelling framework. Using Generalised
Method of Moments (GMM), the two simulation exercises conducted in the study
highlight the crowdingin effect of public investment on aggregate private
investment, irrespective of the mode of financing. The favourable
accelerator effect and the complementary effect are found to outweigh the
deleterious interest effect in both simulation exercises. At the Sectoral
level, public investment is found to most strongly and positively affect
private investment in manufacturing, followed by agriculture, the service
sector, and finally infrastructure. The impact of public investment on the
other sectors included in the model accords well with theoretical
expectations.

Introduction/Objective. The purpose of the current Echocardiographic Society of Serbia (ECHOS) survey was to assess echocardiography practice in Serbia during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods. An online survey consisting of 12 questions about the usa of echocardiography, the availability of portable ultrasound devices and personal protective equipment (PPE) was sent to all ECHOS members. Results. Overall, 126 ECHOS members (43%) answered the survey. One-third of respondents (36%) were physicians from specialized COVID-19 centers. During the pandemic, indications for echocardiographic examination were restricted in both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 centers. In COVID-19 centers, 41% of respondents performed lung ultrasound to each patient versus 26% in non-COVID-19 centers. Transesophageal echocardiography was not performed in suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases in any center. Portable ultrasound devices were available to 66% of respondents from COVID-19 versus 44% of respondents from non-COVID-19 centers (p = 0.018). The respondents reported regular use of PPE, regardless of the patient?s COVID-19 status and found their personal knowledge about protective measures and use of PPE satisfactory. Conclusion. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia, indications for echocardiography were restricted to clinical scenarios in which the results of examination were expected to alter patient management. In both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 centers, the use of PPE was in line with national and international recommendations. A wider availability of portable ultrasound devices and application of lung ultrasound could improve patient management in similar situations in the future.

Authors: Addala Ananta , Auzanneau Marie , Miller Kellee , Maier Werner , Foster Nicole , Kapellen Thomas , Walker Ashby , Rosenbauer Joachim , Maahs David M , Holl Reinhard W
Published: September 2020

Objective: As
diabetes technology use in youth increases worldwide, inequalities in access
may exacerbate disparities in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). We hypothesized an
increasing gap in diabetes technology use by socioeconomic status (SES) would
be associated with increased HbA1c disparities.

Research Design and
Methods: Participants aged <18 years with diabetes duration ≥1 year in
the Type 1 Diabetes Exchange (T1DX, US, n=16,457) and Diabetes Prospective
Follow-up (DPV, Germany, n=39,836) registries were categorized into lowest (Q1)
to highest (Q5) SES quintiles. Multiple regression analyses compared the
relationship of SES quintiles with diabetes technology use and HbA1c from
2010-2012 and 2016-2018.

Results: HbA1c
was higher in participants with lower SES (in 2010-2012 & 2016-2018,
respectively: 8.0% & 7.8% in Q1 and 7.6% & 7.5% in Q5 for DPV; and 9.0%
& 9.3% in Q1 and 7.8% & 8.0% in Q5 for T1DX). For DPV, the association
between SES and HbA1c did not change between the two time periods, whereas for
T1DX, disparities in HbA1c by SES increased significantly (p<0.001). After
adjusting for technology use, results for DPV did not change whereas the
increase in T1DX was no longer significant.

Conclusions: Although
causal conclusions cannot be drawn, diabetes technology use is lowest and HbA1c
is highest in those of the lowest SES quintile in the T1DX and this difference for
HbA1c broadened in the last decade. Associations of SES with technology use and
HbA1c were weaker in the DPV registry.

Published: September 2020

Estudantes da educação básica apresentam dificuldades na assimilação dos conceitos de Genética; desse modo, o objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar o jogo “Tabuleiro de Genes” como ferramenta para o ensino de Genética. O jogo é constituído por um tabuleiro com 24 cartas contendo perguntas e respostas, confeccionado a partir de materiais alternativos e de fácil reprodutibilidade. Foi utilizado como procedimento metodológico a observação direta com a utilização de questionário de avaliação. O instrumento pedagógico foi aplicado em novembro de 2015. Participaram 23 discentes do 3º ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública, no município de Codó (MA). Ao aplicar o jogo, percebeu-se a importância em aliar a teoria com a prática. Também foi possível detectar a interação dos alunos, discutindo suas dúvidas e expressando ideias. Assim, o jogo atuou como um estimulador das atividades cognitivas, além de ampliar o contato de discentes com a Genética.

Published: September 2020

Novas tecnologias como a utilização da internet e do telefone celular alcançam cada vez mais a sala de aula. O objetivo desse artigo é compreender como ocorre a construção de uma epistemologia psicológica e comportamental em ambiente escolar. A metodologia utilizada se baseia na técnica de observação participante e pesquisa documental no firewall da rede de internet utilizada em uma escola, investigando o dia letivo em suas 24 horas, nos três, dos cinco dias de aulas semanais. Os resultados indicam que os horários de aula são justamente aqueles em que os estudantes mais acessam a rede, mesmo havendo proibição em contrário. Percebe-se que é tarefa educativa mediar a formação de hábitos mentais em relação ao tempo para o acesso às tecnologias sem se retirar o seu livre arbítrio que vem sendo exercido, através de burla à proibição imposta.

Published: September 2020

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma investigação que teve como objetivo analisar o diálogo referencial entre o Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica (SAEB) e o Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD). A produção das informações se deu por meio da análise de documentos do SAEB, na busca de referências sobre o PNLD e de documentos do PNLD buscando referências ao SAEB. Os resultados indicam que o diálogo entre as duas políticas é praticamente nulo e que provoca um efeito drástico da avaliação educacional brasileira, o que leva ao questionamento dos resultados que o SAEB produz acerca da Educação Brasileira. As análises evidenciam a existência de um ciclo de fracasso como produto da falta de diálogo entre as referidas políticas.

O referencial teórico está representado por estudos das áreas de ensino de línguas para fins específicos e análise de necessidades. A metodologia foi realizada em três etapas e utilizou-se questionários semiestruturados como instrumento de coleta e geração de dados. Os resultados demonstram que os funcionários dos hotéis não se sentem preparados para interagir verbalmente com os turistas estrangeiros, fato corroborado por esses turistas que apontam para a necessidade de os profissionais adquirirem o vocabulário básico da área. Além disso, percebemos também que os estudantes desconhecem suas necessidades em relação à aprendizagem dessas línguas. Como conclusão, observa-se a necessidade de ofertar formação aos profissionais que atuam nos hotéis e de reformular as ementas das duas disciplinas no curso de hotelaria.

Disaster is one of the main threats to tourism around the world. There are various kinds of disasters, ranging from terrorist attacks; social, cultural and political issues; disease outbreaks, and natural phenomena (floods, landslides, tsunamis, earthquakes and storms). One of the disasters being experienced by all tourism managers in West Sumatera is earthquakes. Disasters can occur and threaten the sustainability of a tourist attraction. The threat of disaster has an impact on tourist visits, so an effort is needed to prepare tourism managers to deal with it. The tourism industry is an economic activity that is highly dependent on image, when a tourist attraction fails to face a disaster, tourists are reluctant to visit the place. The methods used are interviews, observations, and literature studies that can help answer research questions. The key informants in this study were members of the tourism management in West Sumatra Province. The results showed that each tourist destination has a different threat of disaster from other areas, so the response required by the manager is also different. In the case of the earthquake, the response to the disaster cannot be overcome by all tourist destination managers, all experiencing the same conditions. Developed and developing tourist destinations need the same amount of time to deal with this disaster. The recommendation of this study is the importance of understanding disaster response by all tourist destination managers, so that the required recovery period is not too long, and tourism can return to its normal operation.
