Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study was to establish a Korean version of the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI-K) for Korean-speaking patients facing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to investigate the psychometric characteristics of the CSI-K. We recruited a total of 269 patients with knee OA who were scheduled to undergo TKA for the study. CSI-K and pain-related outcomes, including the pain visual analog scale (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index (WOMAC) pain sub-scores, were measured. Since central sensitization (CS) is closely related to the quality of life (QOL) and limited functionality as well as pain, the patient’s function was measured using the WOMAC function sub-scores, and QOL was measured using the EuroQol five-dimension test (EQ-5D). Reliability and validity were evaluated. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to begin the data reduction to validate the existing questionnaire translation. The internal consistency was excellent, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.941. The test-retest reliability was acceptable-to-excellent with an ICC of 0.888. As expected, the CSI scores correlated strongly with the WOMAC pain scores (r = 0.524, p < 0.001) and moderately with the pain VAS (r = 0.496, p < 0.001), the WOMAC function (r = 0.408, p < 0.001), and the EQ-5D scores (r = 0.437, p < 0.001). EFA resulted in a six-factor model. The findings demonstrate that the CSI was successfully trans-culturally adapted into a simplified Korean version (CSI-K) that was reliable and valid for Korean-speaking patients who awaiting TKA for knee OA.
Determinants of births protected against neonatal tetanus in Ethiopia: A multilevel analysis using EDHS 2016 data
Authors: Teshale Achamyeleh Birhanu , Tesema Getayeneh Antehunegn
Published: December 2020

Background

Even though there is low coverage of maternal health services such as antenatal care and skilled birth attendant delivery as well as poor sanitary practice during delivery in Ethiopia, the proportion of births protected by the tetanus vaccine is low. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the determinants of births protected against neonatal tetanus in Ethiopia.

Objective

To assess the determinants of births protected against neonatal tetanus in Ethiopia.

Method

The study was based on secondary data analysis of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016 data. A weighted sample of 7590 women who gave birth within five years preceding the survey was used for analysis. We conducted a multilevel analysis, due to the hierarchical nature of the data. Variables with p-value <0.05 in the multivariable analysis were declared to be significantly associated with having births protected against neonatal tetanus.

Result

In this study, mothers with primary education [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.23; 95%CI: 1.04, 1.44] and secondary and above education [AOR = 1.36; 95%CI: 1.06, 1.73], media exposure [AOR = 1.35; 95%CI: 1.15, 1.58], not perceiving distance from the health facility as a big problem [AOR = 1.24; 95%CI: 1.08,1.42], one antenatal care (ANC) visit [AOR = 1.56; 95%CI: 2.71, 4.68], two to three ANC visit [AOR = 11.82; 95%CI: 9.94,14.06], and four and more ANC visit [AOR = 15.25; 95%CI: 12.74, 18.26], being in Amhara [AOR = 0.59; 95%CI: 0.38,0.92], Afar [AO = 0.41; 95%CI: 0.25,0.66], and Harari [AOR = 1.88; 95%CI: 1.15,3.07] regions, being in communities with higher level of women education [AOR = 1.25; 95%CI: 1.03,1.52], and higher level of media exposure [AOR = 1.22; 95%CI: 1.01,1.48] were significant predictors of having a protected birth against neonatal tetanus.

Conclusion

In this study, both individual level and community level factors were associated with having protected birth against neonatal tetanus. Therefore, strengthening maternal health services such as ANC visits and interventions related to increasing media campaigns regarding tetanus could increase the immunization against tetanus among reproductive-age women. In addition, it is also better to give attention to those reproductive age group women from remote areas and also better to distribute maternal services fairly and equally between regions.

Authors: Moon Jayoon , Ryu Jin Suk , Kim Jun Yeop , Im Sin-Hyeog , Kim Mee Kum
Published: December 2020

Objective

To investigate the clinical effects of IRT5 probiotics in the environmental dry eye model.

Methods

Eight week old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups; control group (n = 16) received oral gavage of 300 μL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) alone once daily, IRT5 group (n = 9) received oral gavage of 1 x 109 CFU IRT5 probiotics powder in 300 μL PBS once daily, both groups for 11 to 12 days. Simultaneously, all mice underwent dry eye induction. Tear secretion, corneal staining and conjunctival goblet cell density were evaluated. Quantative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for inflammation-related markers was performed. 16S ribosomal RNA of fecal microbiome was analyzed and compositional difference, alpha and beta diversities were assessed.

Results

There was no difference in NEI score but significant increase in tear secretion was observed in IRT5 group (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in goblet cell density between groups. Quantative RT-PCR of cornea and conjunctiva revealed increased TNF-α expression in IRT5 group (p < 0.001) whereas other markers did not significantly differ from control. IRT5 group had significantly increased species diversity by Shannon index (p = 0.041). Beta diversity of genus by UniFrac principle coordinates analysis showed significant distance between groups (p = 0.001). Compositional differences between groups were observed and some were significantly associated with tear secretion. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed Christensenellaceae (p = 0.009), Lactobacillus Helveticus group (p = 0.002) and PAC001797_s (p = 0.011) to strongly influence tear secretion.

Conclusion

In experimental dry eye model, IRT5 probiotics treatment partially improves experimental dry eye by increasing tear secretion which was associated with and influenced by the change in intestinal microbiome. Also, intestinal microbiome may affect the lacrimal gland through a different mechanism other than regulating inflammation.
Listening while doing things: Radio, gender and older women
Authors: Inthorn Sanna
Published: December 2020

This article investigates the role of radio in older women’s everyday lives. Based on interviews with listeners in Britain and Germany, it argues that patriarchy structures women’s radio listening into old age. The women who participated in this study accommodated their radio listening to their role as housewives, deliberately choosing content that does not distract from their work and making sure they do not invade their husbands’ space with radio sound. Across their radio day, older women move in and out of different forms of listening, characterized by different levels of attentiveness. They enjoy radio as background noise to domestic labour, but they also use radio as a resource for identity work and a critical engagement with gender politics.
Cómo salvar el mundo intentando no llegar tarde a clase: el viaje del héroe adolescente en las series Runaways y Capa y puñal
Authors: Sánchez López Pablo
Published: December 2020

En el siglo XXI, hemos presenciado un renacimiento o redescubrimiento de las historias clásicas de superhéroes gracias al éxito del Universo Cinematográfico Marvel. Sin embargo, este éxito no se ha replicado, hasta ahora, en otras pantallas como la televisión. Por otra parte, el formato serializado le ha permitido a Marvel mostrar otro tipo de relatos que quizás no tendrían cabida en la pantalla grande. Estamos hablando de narraciones protagonizadas por adolescentes que beben de la rica tradición de acompañantes juveniles que ha existido siempre en el mundo del cómic. Este artículo busca analizar las historias de origen de los superhéroes protagonistas en las series Capa y Puñal y Runaways, haciendo especial hincapié en las problemáticas y casuística que un aprendiz de héroe sufre cuando además se trata de un adolescente. Para ello, nos apoyaremos en algunas de las características más conocidas de los relatos del género Bildungsroman o coming-of-age.

Imágenes del Holocausto. Análisis de la zona gris y su representación en el cine contemporáneo
Authors: Mendieta Rodríguez Elios
Published: December 2020

En sus memorias como superviviente de Auschwitz, el escritor Primo Levi desarrolló el concepto de zona gris para explicar las diferentes maneras en que el régimen nazi hacía partícipe a su enemigo judío en el proceso de su propia destrucción, produciéndose una cierta connivencia entre víctima y verdugo. No obstante, este concepto se extendió rápidamente más allá de los márgenes del campo y se ha convertido en un marco de pensamiento necesario para entender, con mayor distancia temporal, lo que ocurrió durante la Shoah, materializándose la agrisada condición de diversas maneras en el presente. Setenta y cinco años después del final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el cine mantiene su gran fuerza para reactualizar el debate sobre el Holocausto por medio de las imágenes. Los distintos textos fílmicos recientes sobre esta temática atestiguan la importancia de recordar lo que sucedió para que el genocidio judío no caiga en el olvido, más aún cuando los supervivientes vivos son cada vez menos. En este sentido, el propósito del presente artículo es analizar cómo la zona gris desarrollada por Levi –y sus diversas lecturas contemporáneas– se manifiestan en el cine actual, para entender la importancia del concepto y su potencial contribución para una nueva ética y estética.

Published: December 2020

Brazil is the largest producer and consumer of passion fruit in the world. Fruticulture is a prominent segment of Brazilian agriculture. Despite recent technological and scientific advances, the climate is among the most important variable in crops productions. In this context, agroclimatic zoning should be one of the first information to consider before starting the cultivation of a particular crop. The purpose of this paper was to perform agroclimatic risk zoning for passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) in the basin of Parana river 3, located in Parana state, South of Brazil. For this we used meteorological data from 43 stations with historical series between from 1976 to 2019. The analysis of agroclimatic risk was based on the species requirements, such as rainfall, annual water deficit, annual average temperature, sunshine and the risk of frost. The occurrence of frost was the most limiting factor for production in the region. This meteorological factor restricted planting in the central-eastern portion of the basin. In other areas, the risk is present, however the suitability for the passion fruit planting was guaranteed.
ANÁLISE DA DINÂMICA TERRITORIAL DA PESCA NO MÉDIO ARAGUARI: O CASO DE FERREIRA GOMES (AP/BRASIL)
Authors: Rosa Thallys , Pereira de Lima Ricardo Angelo
Published: December 2020

A energia gerada por meio das Usinas Hidroelétricas de Energia (UHE), se consolidou como uma importante fonte no abastecimento energético, voltado para o desenvolvimento do Brasil. No entanto, o processo de implantação e operação desses empreendimentos tem produzido ao ambiente físico e social, uma série de impactos que agem especialmente nos territórios das comunidades locais. Essa fronteira energética encontrou na bacia do Rio Araguari, no estado do Amapá, um espaço favorável para seu desenvolvimento e expansão. Visto isso, este estudo realiza uma análise das dinâmicas territoriais da atividade de pesca, utilizando como recorte espacial o município de Ferreira Gomes. Metodologicamente se empregou as técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e, em campo, de grupo focal e mapeamento participativo. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que a pesca realizada no médio Araguari é fundamentalmente artesanal. Os pescadores locais têm no pescado a principal fonte de alimentação e renda. Anteriormente a implantação das UHE, a atividade tinha, nos rios e igarapés próximos, uma fonte abundante de recurso. Porém, as modificações no ambiente físico produzidas pelos empreendimentos, impuseram ao pescador a busca de novas estratégias territoriais de pesca, visto a fragilização dos territórios socialmente construídos e a diminuição da sua base produtiva.

Authors: Mafra Renata , Prado Osco Lucas , Rodrigo Alves Marcelo , Marques Ramos Ana Paula
Published: December 2020

A recuperação florestal em bacias hidrográficas é essencial para aumentar a produção de água de boa qualidade para consumo. Contudo, essa prática exige um planejamento adequado que aponte áreas prioritárias para o investimento de recursos econômicos e humanos no reflorestamento. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as áreas prioritárias para a recuperação florestal em bacias hidrográficas por meio de Análise Multicritério em ambiente SIG. Para o estudo de caso adotamos a bacia hidrográfica do rio Pirapozinho, São Paulo. Como critérios relevantes para a determinação de áreas prioritárias, adotamos: rede de drenagem, distância de rodovias, distância de áreas urbanas, fragmentos de vegetação, e vulnerabilidade a erosão. Os pesos de cada critério foram obtidos a partir do Processo Analítico Hierárquico (AHP). Testamos dois métodos para criação do mapa síntese: CLP (Combinação Linear Ponderada) e operador Fuzzy Gamma. Como resultado obtivemos dois cenários; o primeiro com o método CLP onde priorizamos áreas com fragmentos de vegetação e alta densidade de drenagem, e o segundo com o método Gamma, que priorizou áreas vulneráveis da bacia. Concluímos que o modelo de integração proposto satisfaz a identificação de áreas para a recuperação de florestas em bacias hidrográficas, e que diferentes cenários podem ser construídos.

Published: December 2020

Regarding the existence of different brands in the various fields of consumer products, customers’ commitment to the brand is an important factor in the success of the product of the brand. The present research studies the effects of brand passion on commitment to the brand with regard to the adjusting role of ethics of the brand. Regarding the goal of the study, research methodology applied is practical, and it is conducted as a survey. The research tool comprised three standard questionnaires; for measuring brand passion a 14-question questionnaire (Vallerand et al., 2003) was used, for measuring commitment, a 16-question questionnaire was employed (Shukla et al., 2016), and finally, for the ethics of the brand, a 6-question questionnaire was applied (Brunk, 2012). The statistical community of the study comprised all the consumers of the brands of the sanitary cleaners and detergents. The 384 subjects were selected through a random sampling method. The data thus gathered was analyzed by the software SMART-PLS. And the results showed that brand passion had a positive effect on brand commitment while the variable of the brand ethics had an adjusting role in such effect. Therefore, it is recommended that the managers of the brands of sanitary cleaners and detergents pay special attention to the ethical aspects of the brands so as to increase the commitment of the customers to their brands.
The Beixin Culture: archaeobotanical evidence for a population dispersal of Neolithic hunter-gatherer-cultivators in northern China
Authors: Jin Guiyun , Chen Songtao , Li Hui , Fan Xianjun , Yang Aiguo , Mithen Steven
Published: December 2020

According to the ‘farming/dispersal’ hypothesis, the Early and Mid-Holocene spread of Neolithic material culture in East Asia would have arisen from dispersals of established farming populations. The authors test this hypothesis by considering the Beixin Culture that appeared in the south-west Haidai region of northern China c. 5000 BC, before spreading north and east to the coast over the subsequent millennium. While this culture had architecture, elaborate pottery and other forms of Neolithic material culture, analysis of archaeobotanical evidence from Guanqiaocunnan (4340–3970 BC) suggests an economic base of hunting, gathering and cultivating, rather than a reliance on farming.
Trait-Unconsciousness, State-Unconsciousness, Preconsciousness, and Social Miscalibration in the Context of Implicit Evaluation
Authors: Hahn Adam , Goedderz Alexandra
Published: December 2020

Implicit evaluations are often assumed to reflect “unconscious attitudes.” We review data from our lab to conclude that the truth of this statement depends on how one defines “unconscious.” A trait definition of unconscious according to which implicit evaluations reflect cognitions that are introspectively inaccessible at all times appears to be inaccurate. However, when unconscious is defined as a state which cognitions can be in at specific times, some data suggest that the cognitions reflected on implicit evaluations may sometimes unfold without direct awareness, in that people seem to rarely pay attention to them. Additionally, people appear to be miscalibrated in their reports in that they construe even conscious biases in self-serving ways. This analysis suggests that implicit evaluations do not reflect unconscious cognitions per se, but rather awareness-independent cognitions that are often preconscious and miscalibrated. Discussion centers on the meaning of this analysis for theory and application.
Moving Beyond the Relative Assessment of Implicit Biases: Navigating the Complexities of Absolute Measurement
Authors: O'Shea Brian A. , Wiers Reinout W.
Published: December 2020

A relative assessment of implicit biases is limited because it produces a combined summary evaluation of two attitudinal beliefs while concealing the biases driving this evaluation. Similar limitations occur for relative explicit measures. Here, we will discuss the benefits and weaknesses of using relative versus absolute (individual/separate) assessments of implicit and explicit attitudes. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) will be the focal implicit measure discussed, and we will present a new perspective challenging the evidence that the IAT can only be utilized to measure relative, not absolute, implicit attitudes. Modeling techniques (i.e., Quad models) that can determine the separate biases behind the relative summary evaluation will also be considered. Accurately utilizing absolute implicit bias scores will enable academia and industry to answer more complex research questions. For implicit social cognition to maintain and expand its usefulness, we encourage researchers to further test and refine the measurement of absolute implicit biases.

Published: December 2020

Stress may promote emotional and cognitive disturbances, which differ by sex. Adverse outcomes, including memory disturbances, are typically observed following chronic stress, but are now being recognized also after short events, including mass shootings, assault, or natural disasters, events that consist of concurrent multiple acute stresses (MAS). Prior work has established profound and enduring effects of MAS on memory in males. Here we examined the effects of MAS on female mice and probed the role of hormonal fluctuations during the estrous cycle on MAS-induced memory problems and the underlying brain network and cellular mechanisms. Female mice were impacted by MAS in an estrous cycle-dependent manner: MAS impaired hippocampus-dependent spatial memory in early-proestrous mice, characterized by high levels of estradiol, whereas memory of mice stressed during estrus (low estradiol) was spared. As spatial memory requires an intact dorsal hippocampal CA1, we examined synaptic integrity in mice stressed at different cycle phases and found a congruence of dendritic spine density and spatial memory deficits, with reduced spine density only in mice stressed during high estradiol cycle phases. Assessing MAS-induced activation of brain networks interconnected with hippocampus, we identified differential estrous cycle-dependent activation of memory- and stress-related regions, including the amygdala. Network analyses of the cross-correlation offosexpression among these regions uncovered functional connectivity that differentiated impaired mice from those not impaired by MAS. In conclusion, the estrous cycle modulates the impact of MAS on spatial memory, and fluctuating physiological levels of sex hormones may contribute to this effect.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:Effects of stress on brain functions, including memory, are profound and sex-dependent. Acute stressors occurring simultaneously result in spatial memory impairments in males, but effects on females are unknown. Here we identified estrous cycle-dependent effects of such stresses on memory in females. Surprisingly, females with higher physiological estradiol experienced stress-induced memory impairment and a loss of underlying synapses. Memory- and stress-responsive brain regions interconnected with hippocampus were differentially activated across high and low estradiol mice, and predicted memory impairment. Thus, at functional, network, and cellular levels, physiological estradiol influences the effects of stress on memory in females, providing insight into mechanisms of prominent sex differences in stress-related memory disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

Circadian rhythms have been extensively studied inDrosophila; however, still little is known about how the electrical properties of clock neurons are specified. We have performed a behavioral genetic screen through the downregulation of candidate ion channels in the lateral ventral neurons (LNvs) and show that the hyperpolarization-activated cation current Ihis important for the behaviors that the LNvs influence: temporal organization of locomotor activity, analyzed in males, and sleep, analyzed in females. Using whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology we demonstrate that small LNvs (sLNvs) are bursting neurons, and that Ihis necessary to achieve the high-frequency bursting firing pattern characteristic of both types of LNvs in females. Since firing in bursts has been associated to neuropeptide release, we hypothesized that Ihwould be important for LNvs communication. Indeed, herein we demonstrate that Ihis fundamental for the recruitment of pigment dispersing factor (PDF) filled dense core vesicles (DCVs) to the terminals at the dorsal protocerebrum and for their timed release, and hence for the temporal coordination of circadian behaviors.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIon channels are transmembrane proteins with selective permeability to specific charged particles. The rich repertoire of parameters that may gate their opening state, such as voltage-sensitivity, modulation by second messengers and specific kinetics, make this protein family a determinant of neuronal identity. Ion channel structure is evolutionary conserved between vertebrates and invertebrates, making any discovery easily translatable. Through a screen to uncover ion channels with roles in circadian rhythms, we have identified the Ihchannel as an important player in a subset of clock neurons of the fruit fly. We show that lateral ventral neurons (LNvs) need Ihto fire action potentials in a high-frequency bursting mode and that this is important for peptide transport and the control of behavior.

A Truce in Criminal Law’s Distributive Principle Wars?
Authors: Robinson Paul H.
Published: December 2020

Crime-control utilitarians and retributivist philosophers have long been at war over the appropriate distributive principle for criminal liability and punishment, with little apparent possibility of reconciliation between the two. In the utilitarians’ view, the imposition of punishment can be justified only by the practical benefit that it provides: avoiding future crime. In the retributivists’ view, doing justice for past wrongs is a value in itself that requires no further justification. The competing approaches simply use different currencies: fighting future crime versus doing justice for past wrongs.

It is argued here that the two are in fact reconcilable, in a fashion. We cannot declare a winner in the distributive principle wars but something more like a truce. Specifically, good utilitarians ought to support a distributive principle based upon desert because the empirical evidence suggests that doing justice for past wrongdoing is likely the most effective and efficient means of controlling future crime. A criminal justice system perceived by the community as conflicting with its principles of justice provokes resistance and subversion, whereas a criminal justice system that earns a reputation for reliably doing justice is one whose moral credibility inspires deference, assistance, and acquiescence, and is more likely to have citizens internalize its norms of what is truly condemnable conduct.

Retributivists ought to support empirical desert as a distributive principle because, while it is indeed distinct from deontological desert, there exists an enormous overlap between the two, and it seems likely that empirical desert may be the best practical approximation of deontological desert. Indeed, some philosophers would argue that the two are necessarily the same.

La importancia del consumo de bebidas funcionales elaboradas a partir de frutos promisorios pasa por su aporte nutracéutico, la misma que es esencial para la salud humana. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue elaborar una bebida funcional a partir de aguaymanto (Physalis peruviana) y chía (Salvia hispanica L.), para su posterior evaluación de las características fisicoquímicas y actividad antioxidante. El aguaymanto y la chía fueron provenientes de la provincia de Acobamba, Huancavelica-Perú. Para las determinaciones analíticas se acondicionó 04 tratamientos (T) de bebida funcional (BF): T1= BF + 0,0% de chía, T2= BF + 0,5% de chía, T3= BF + 1,0% de chía y T4= BF + 1,5% de chía. Para los análisis fisicoquímicos se emplearon métodos descritos por la AOAC y para la capacidad antioxidante el radical ABTS+. La bebida funcional de aguaymanto logró incrementar sus características fisicoquímicas y actividad antioxidante a partir de la incorporación de chía. La actividad antioxidante de la bebida funcional sin chía expreso 0,62 µmol de Eq. Trolox/mL (inhibición de ABTS), la adición de chía ocasionó su incremento hasta 1,45 µmol de Eq. Trolox/mL. Se concluye que la incorporación de chía en la bebida funcional de aguaymanto genera notable incremento de las cualidades nutracéuticas, obteniéndose un alimento con alto potencial antioxidante.

Published: December 2020

Los estudios sobre clima organizacional comenzaron a tener relevancia a causa de la formación de grupo como organización, atribuyéndole causas externas e internas por un lado con efectos negativos y positivos por otro lado, siendo este último, un elemento imprescindible para que el trabajador se sienta motivado y apoyado por las personas de su entorno, trayendo como consecuencia un mayor rendimiento, rentabilidad y productividad en los miembros que conforman la organización. Este constructo ha sido relacionado directamente con el rendimiento del grupo, puesto que ambos conceptos son controlados por el trabajador e impulsados, de manera positiva o negativa, por los gerentes, personal de cargo superior y la cultura de la organización. Por ello, es necesario comprender la relación directa que existe entre ambos conceptos, y entender la necesidad intrínseca por parte de todos miembros de la organización respecto al logro de objetivos comunes trazados tanto por el trabajador como por la organización. Sin embargo, en el contexto de las empresas familiares estos conceptos son desconocidos o simplemente dan la apariencia de ser por aceptados por los trabajadores, de modo tal, que el dueño o gerente de la empresa, no se preocupa por motivar o incentivar al personal y por ende brindar un mejor ambiente laboral dentro de su empresa.

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar los valores hematológicos de la taricaya (Podocnemis unifilis) en dos estaciones del año en un parque zoológico de Iquitos, Perú. El zoológico presenta una población de 80 taricayas. En el estudio se trabajó con 30 tortugas (18 machos, 12 hembras). Las muestras de sangre fueron tomadas en invierno (febrero) y verano (julio) y se analizaron utilizando la cámara de Neubauer y el dilutor Natt & Herrick. La estación del año influyó los valores hemáticos, aumentando el número de eritrocitos y azurófilos en verano, y de linfocitos y trombocitos en invierno.
