Published: January 2023

STUDY OF PREMIUM AND REGULAR GASOLINES MARKETED IN BRAZIL THROUGH THE ERETIC-NMR METHOD AND CHEMOMETRICS. Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons whose detailed study of its chemical profiles is a challenging task. This type of product of great commercial importance has its quality measured in Brazil from classical physicalchemical tests. Although robust, physical-chemical analyses generally require large amounts of assays, solvents, and samples, in addition to not being indicated for the detection of small compositional changes. In this work, NMR and chemometrics were used in the quantitative study of different samples of gasoline with varying ratings of octane and ethanol contents. The results demonstrated the usefulness of NMR spectroscopy both to characterize as well as to distinguish the chemical profiles of regular and premium gasoline. With the application of the ERETIC, the chemical profiles mentioned were quantitatively differentiated and the proportions between hydrocarbons were determined for both types of gasoline. The application of the ERETIC was also successful in the quantitative determination of ethanol contents in regular and premium gasoline. The aforementioned method, which dispenses with the use of quantification standards inserted directly into the sample of interest, was unequivocal in accounting for the volume of ethanol, in addition to showing excellent agreement with the method currently adopted by the Brazilian government.

Published: January 2023

Tetracyclines comprise a large group of broad-spectrum antibiotics used in human and veterinary medicine. Its mechanism of action, via oral ingestion, is to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis, but a large amount (70%) is eliminated without being metabolized, which presents a risk for the arising of antibiotic-resistant species. In this study, the degradation of Tetracycline TC by non-thermal plasma NTP and the antimicrobial sensitivity of the treated solution are investigated. The degradation was followed by chromatographic analysis while the efficiency of NTP in inhibiting the action of TC on bacteria was evaluated by antimicrobial sensitivity test by disk diffusion method. The results showed a high rate of TC degradation, over 90%, in 10 min of NTP treatment for a 60 mL (107 mg L-1) sample and very slow increase up to 94% in 30 min. The antimicrobial sensitivity test of TC after degradation by NTP showed no antibiotic activity. Therefore, our findings are encouraging, since the removal efficiency is below the minimum threshold require, to prevent with high probability, outgrowth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In addition, the results confirm that the NTP treated solution is safe to the environment.
Toplumsal Gerçekçilik ve Çağdaş Türk Resmi Perspektifinde Öyküleyici Yorumlarıyla Neş’e Erdok
Authors: Kılıç Gündüz Yurdagül
Published: January 2023

Toplumsal gerçekçilik; yüzyıllardır yaşanan toplumsal dönüşümlerden, ülkelerin sosyo-ekonomik ve politik özelliklerinden, devrimlerden, savaşlardan ve toplumların kültürel deneyimlerinden izler taşımaktadır. Sanatçının daima içinde barındırdığı esinlenme gücü de bu olaylardan beslenerek, yaşanılan toplum içerisinde süregelen güçlükleri ve halkın çetin yaşam koşullarını dikkate almak ister. Gerçekçilik akımının sanat anlayışı olan toplumsal gerçekçilik, toplumlar tarafından yönlendirilerek, toplumun ihtiyaçlarına göre şekillenmektedir. Türk resim sanatındaki toplumsal gerçekçi anlatı biçimi ise Cumhuriyet dönemi sonrası 1940 yılında kurulan Yeniler Grubu’nun ulusal kimlik arayışı üzerine temellendirilmiştir. Bu araştırma, toplumsal gerçekçilik anlayışının çağdaş Türk resmindeki konumunu ve eserlerini yaşamın kendisinden besleyen toplumsal gerçekçi sanatçı Neşe Erdok’un sanat anlayışını inceleyerek, eserlerindeki göstergeleri yorumbilimsel bir yaklaşımla çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Kuramsal çerçeve odağında Erdok’un kendine özgü sanat anlayışı biçim ve öz perspektifinde değerlendirildiğinde, sanatçının içinde bulunduğu toplumun ruhsal süreçlerini yakından gözlemlediğini ve toplumsal sorun haline gelen göç, kimlik, yalnızlaşma ve kadın imgeleri üzerine içkin bir biçimde yoğunlaştığını söylemek mümkündür.
HUSSERL’S LANGUAGE OF NEUTRALITY
Authors: CARBONE GUELFO
Published: January 2023

Husserl intended the phenomenological method as a new beginning for philosophy. The epoché, the key notion of this method, entails a modification of attitude such that it can completely cancel and disempower all that might be given to us and that might be used for philosophical inquiry. In Ideas I, in particular, this is addressed as the “neutrality modification,” and defined as a universal modification of consciousness that permeates the phenomenological attitude. Neutralization, along with the method, is described by relying on what Husserl calls the “language of neutrality,” which is actually spoken while investigating in the phenomenological attitude, enacted in the descriptions, and also discloses a series of rather peculiar acts that must be performed in order to obtain the phenomenological attitude. This paper discusses the phenomenological language of neutrality, first presenting what “neutrality” means, as well as illustrating the essential expressions of this peculiar language (such as “to put out of action,” “to bracket,” “to suspend,” and so on), then situating it in the context of phenomenological analyses, particularly as regards those devoted to phantasy experiences. Finally, going back to early interpretations of Husserl’s transcendental philosophy, notably the critical readings provided by Levinas and Fink, some key features of the method of epoché are pointed out, suggesting that the study of the specific neutrality involved in the latter can contribute to answering the question of what kind of act epoché is, and if it can even be considered an act at all.

Authors: Glotov Oleg , Chernov Alexandr , Fedyakov Michael , Larionova Valentina , Zaretsky Andrey , Donnikov Maxim , Glotov Andrey
Published: January 2023

The review highlights various methods for deciphering the nucleotide sequence (sequencing) of nucleic acids and their importance for the implementation of the three main principles of personalized medicine: prevention, predictability and personalization. The review, along with its own practical examples, considers three generations of sequencing technologies: 1) sequencing of cloned or amplified DNA fragments according to Sanger and its analogues; 2) massive parallel sequencing of DNA libraries with short reads (NGS); and 3) sequencing of single molecules of DNA and RNA with long reads. The methods of whole genome, whole exome, targeted, RNA sequencing and sequencing based on chromatin immunoprecipitation are also discussed. The advantages and limitations of the above methods for diagnosing monogenic and oncological diseases, as well as for identifying risk factors and predicting the course of socially significant multifactorial diseases are discussed. Using examples from clinical practice, algorithms for the application and selection of sequencing technologies are demonstrated. As a result of the use of sequencing technologies, it has now become possible to determine the molecular mechanism of the development of monogenic, orphan and multifactorial diseases, the knowledge of which is necessary for personalized patient therapy. In science, these technologies paved the way for international genome projects — the Human Genome Project, the HapMap, 1000 Genomes Project, the Personalized Genome Project, etc.

Currently, one of the most promising areas of medicine is the development and implementation of new biomedical technologies in the field of human reproduction with the involvement of resources of biobanks and biocollections as well as modern genetic technologies. In this review, we considered the key dimensions of personalized medicine, such as biobanking and genomic medicine. We illustrated crucial aspects in the organization of human bioresource collections and the difficulties arising in the interaction of specialists in the field of biobanking. Problems in obtaining informed consent and collecting personal data are described. Furthermore, the need for creating and developing complex information systems for storing, processing, and analyzing data, creating genetic databases is emphasized. Foreign experience in consolidation of biobank data and the results of genomic studies is summarized. We also describe D.O. Ott Research Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductology’s experience in creating collections of human biomaterials (today it contains more than 60,000 samples, including samples of blood and its derivatives (plasma, serum, whole blood), urine samples, placental tissue, cell cultures, DNA, RNA, and others) and in quality management. The main results of genetic research are provided. Experience in these studies served as the basis for the creation of Biobank “Genofond” and the unique scientific facility “Human Reproductive Health”. The principle of creation of the collection, its purpose, and objectives for future research in the genetics of reproduction are described.

Authors: Shafiei Mahrokh , Moghaddasi Mahnoosh , Naderi Kimia
Published: January 2023

This study assesses climate change's impact on drought in Iran's Dez Basin. It introduces the Hydro-Meteorological Drought Index (HMDI), integrating the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and Standardized Runoff Index (SRI). Using Climatic Research Unit Time Series (CRU TS) data (1980-2012) and downscaling forecasted data from three CMIP6 models (2020-2052) for SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, we employ the rainfall-runoff Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning Hydrological Bureau's Water Balance Model (HBV)-Light model to predict future streamflow. Drought characteristics are analyzed. Under SSP5-8.5, CanEsm5 shows substantial temperature and runoff increases, notably in Bakhtiari and Borujerd sub-basins (63% and 56%). Future droughts are expected to intensify, particularly under SSP5-8.5. The most severe HMDI-derived drought (HMDI 12) in Borujerd station is projected to increase from -43.44 to -44.05. SSP5-8.5 is likelier to cause severe and prolonged HMDI-derived droughts than SSP1-2.6 or the historical period. The analysis suggests that normal drought levels will persist, while mild and severe drought levels will rise in the future.
Political economy of China and US value chains in Latin America
Authors: Lebrón Veiga Alberto J.
Published: January 2023

In this paper, I aim to provide empirical evidence about how an efficient integration into global value chains can promote economic growth through industrial upgrading and prevention of external imbalances in Latin America (LATAM). I define US-China political economics in this region for the period from 1998 to 2015. The research uses TiVA raw data that I obtained from the UNCTAD-EORA database for the US, China, and nine major economies in LATAM. The development of global value chains has brought unprecedented alternatives for commercial alliances and industrial strategies to developing countries. An effective integration of LATAM onto global value chains through forward linkages or increases in indirect value added (DVX) can strengthen both their industrial development and manufacturing industries to achieve the macroeconomic goal of long-term economic growth. China as the world’s fastest growing economy when trade is measured by the value added has stimulated forward linkages and economic development throughout several developing countries within the ASEAN+3, EU -13, and LATAM since 1998. However, strategic competition with the US has prevented China from further expanding its value chain to LATAM. Therefore, the whole region endures a peripherical position in relation to global value chains, as it is still too reliant on lower value-added investments in extractive industries. Yet strengthening TiVA exchanges with China, along with the US, is critical to broadening the alternatives for a sound and sustainable economic development in LATAM.

Published: January 2023

Introduction:

Although optimal wellbeing of young adults (YA) is a vital asset for
productivity and measurable and sustainable development, there is a dearth of information on the
wellbeing status of YA, especially after the COVID-19 lockdown in Ghana. The study has established
the post-lockdown wellbeing status of YA in the COVID-19 pandemic epicenters of Ghana.

Methods:

The wellbeing status of 1783 (24.49 ± 4.62 year) Ghanaian YA from Kumasi, Accra,
and Kasoa (known epicentres of COVID) was assessed in this cross-sectional study. Body mass
index (BMI) was calculated, and physical, social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual states were
assessed.

Results:

More females were found to be overweight (315, 17.7%) and obese (160, 9.0%) compared
to males. The majority (714; 40.0%) of the young adults were between the ages 25-30 years
and overweight, with a mean BMI of 25.46 ± 4.67 kg/m2. Overall, 157 (8.8%) had poor, 755
(42.3%) average, 479 (26.9%) good, while 392 (22.0%) had outstanding wellbeing. Specifically,
the average grade was recorded for physical (29.07 ± 6.67), spiritual (29.32 ± 6.80), and intellectual
(28.29 ± 6.56), while ‘good grade’ was obtained for social (32.16 ± 5.13) and emotional
(31.54 ± 5.07) dimensions of wellbeing.

Conclusion:

Average Ghanaian YA in the study were overweight (BMI value) and had average
wellbeing, which may suggest the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Educational and physical activity
interventions with meticulous dietary control and proper understanding of family history, age
and genetic factors will help to improve the wellbeing of Ghanaian YA.

Published: January 2023

Background:

Recently, plant-based medications have been considered promising. Scrophularia
has been demonstrated to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, anticancer, and antiinflammatory
effects; however, no evidence of its antiviral potency is available.

Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate whether the aqueous extract of Scrophularia variegata has
antiviral activity against rotavirus as the leading cause of severe diarrhea and acute gastroenteritis in
children.

Methods:

The neutral red assay was utilized to assess the cytotoxicity of the aqueous extract on the cell
line. Cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition, TCID50 (50% cell culture infectious dose), and real-time PCR
assays were performed to determine the extract's impact on human rotavirus at non-toxic dilutions.

Results:

Cell viability was raised following treatment with the aqueous extract at all dilutions. Rotavirus-
induced CPEs were considerably reduced when higher dilutions of the aqueous extract were applied
to the infected cells. The most substantial inhibitory effect was observed at the highest dilution
with no detectable infectious rotavirus titer using the TCID50 assay and no Ct value using the real-time
PCR assay.

Conclusion:

Our findings show that the aqueous extract of Scrophularia Variegata may be a promising
candidate for the treatment of rotavirus-induced gastroenteritis.
Magnetophoretic Intranasal Drug-loaded Magnetic Nano-aggregates as a
Platform for Drug Delivery in Status Epilepticus
Authors: Hemmat Ali , Ghassami Erfaneh , Minaiyan Mohsen , Varshosaz Jaleh
Published: January 2023

Background:

Status epilepticus is associated with substantial morbidity and neuronal
necrosis, and the duration of the seizure would affect its following complications. Eliminating the
duration would have valuable outcomes; however, the presence of BBB is an obstacle. The purpose
of the current study was to achieve a nose-to-brain magnetic drug delivery system to accelerate
the onset of action, and to reduce the mucociliary clearance via implementing the magnetic
field.

Methods:

The drug-entrapped magnetic nanoaggregates were prepared via a 2-step
method, synthesis of the magnetic nanoparticles and drug loading. Optimization of the variables,
including ammonium hydroxide:water ratio, beta-cyclodextrin%, duration of the mixing time,
amount of Pluronic, and drug:magnetic nanoaggregates mass ratio was performed according to
particle size, PDI, zeta potential, release profile and entrapment efficiency. The efficacy of optimized
formulation was assessed in the animal model.

Results:

According to the analysis performed by the software, drug-to-nanoparticle ratio and the
duration of mixing time were found to be significantly effective (p < 0.05) for entrapment efficiency
and particle size distribution, respectively. The optimum formulation with an approximate
average size of 581 nm and 61% entrapment efficiency was obtained, which released about 80% of
its drug content within the first 20 minutes. The in vivo efficacy was significantly improved (p <
0.05) by administration of magnetic nanoaggregates in the presence of a simple external magnet
placed on the glabellar region of the animals, compared to the control groups.

Conclusion:

This drug delivery system could be suggested as a fast-acting alternative for seizure
cessation in status epilepticus emergencies.
Alternative Approaches for the Management of Autism: A
Narrative Review
Authors: Shekhar Nikhila , Tyagi Sakshi , Thakur Ajit Kumar
Published: January 2023

Autism, a neurodevelopment disorder that was regarded as insignificant in the past
is thereby now recognized as a major problem with an increasing prevalence over the past 50
years affecting 1 out of every 160 children worldwide. Recent accumulating evidence indicates
that autism is a consequence of the fusion of environmental, genetic, and epigenetic components.
Due to the lack of effective pharmacotherapy, alternative approaches are being explored
for their beneficial effect on autistic symptoms. A literature review was performed identifying
previously published clinical studies that were set up as an alternative therapy for alleviating
the symptoms of autism. The data were collected from PubMed and Google Scholar databases.
A total of 13 kinds of interventions including video modelling, play therapy, music therapy,
yoga, social skills training, sensory integration (SIT), scalp acupuncture, medical clowning,
animal-assisted activity, theatre-based intervention, Tai Chu Chuan training, novel mattress
technology, and magnetic resonance imaging were found to be affecting the symptoms associated
with autism. From sufficient clinical evidence, it was estimated that alternative approaches
such as music therapy and play therapy have the most beneficial effect in mitigating the
symptoms to an extent.
Proinflammatory and Thrombotic Manifestations and the Therapeutic Options of COVID-19
Authors: Daga Mradul Kumar , Chand Siddharth , Kumar Naresh , Mawari Govind , Raghu R. V. , Aarthi J.
Published: January 2023

COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS CoV 2), has put the global health system into crisis. The complications of the
disease include respiratory failure, proinflammatory, and thromboembolic
presentations. It is being increasingly recognised that host response with the
inflammatory and thrombotic state is responsible for the severity of the disease.
Numerous studies are now showing that increased inflammatory markers like
interleukin (IL) 6 portray a poor prognosis. Thrombo-embolic complications like
pulmonary embolism also produce clinical deterioration in COVID 19. The
management of the disease presently includes antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and
anticoagulant therapy along with supportive care for respiratory complications. The
therapeutic challenge is augmented due to the varied clinical presentations, rapid
worsening, and lack of a clear understanding of the pathophysiology. The initial data
regarding the treatment options are of low quality and are mostly from cohort analysis.
Many randomised controlled trials (RCT) are ongoing, and the results from the RCTs
will help in developing better treatment options. We discuss in this review the
pathophysiology and mechanism behind the increased inflammation and thrombosis.
We will also discuss the available therapeutics options and the recommendations of
various guidelines regarding the management of the proinflammatory and thrombotic
state.

Porcelana Monte Sião, a produção artesanal de ontem, hoje e sempre
Authors: Espel Mariana
Published: January 2023

Currently, cultural heritage is no longer just a physical representation contained in objects, buildings and archaeological or natural sites. Institutions responsible for their safeguarding and classification take a fresh look at various cultural representations and social activities, formally recognizing them as intangible cultural heritage. In Brazil and since the year 2000, the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) has been developing programs for classifying Intangible Cultural Assets. The classification processes are complex due to the need to have to transcribe what you feel. Faced with this new demand, a set of indicators is presented that aim to identify existing parameters in each intangible cultural asset that may respond to IPHAN classification guidelines. The indicators were applied in a case study where the object of analysis was the artisanal production of the Porcelain Monte Sião, which has been maintained since 1959 in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Tanulmányunkban az innovatív online banki szolgáltatások irányába tanúsított fogyasztói preferenciákat vizsgáljuk gazdálkodástudományi képzésben résztvevő hallgatók körében. Kutatási célunk elérése érdekében diszkrét választási kísérletet hajtottunk végre az elemezni kívánt célcsoporttal. A kísérletünkben szerepeltetett hipotetikus döntési helyzeteink alternatíváit az ATM-okostelefon integráció lehetősége, a valós idejű banki ügyintézés rendelkezésre állása, az NFC fizetés elérhetősége és a tranzakciónkénti költség jelentették. Modellbecsléseink alapján megállapítottuk, hogy mindhárom vizsgált szolgáltatás (ATM-okostelefon integráció, valós idejű banki ügyintézés, NFC fizetés) pozitív megítélést élvez a kitöltők körében, míg a költség emelkedése negatívan hat a megkérdezettek hasznosságérzetére. A preferencia-heterogenitás kezelése érdekében becsült látens osztályú modell eredményei rávilágítottak arra, hogy létezik egy fogyasztói csoport, amely nagyon erős preferenciákat, és ezen keresztül magas (átlagosan 70 Ft-os) fizetési hajlandóságot mutat az NFC szolgáltatás meglétének irányába. Ezen osztályba pedig nagyobb valószínűséggel kerülnek felsőoktatási szakképzésben résztvevő, nem debreceni lakcímmel rendelkező férfi hallgatók.

Authors: Póta Cserne Panka , Becsky-Nagy Patrícia
Published: January 2023

Present-day consumer society increasingly satisfies its needs through digital channels, and financial products and services are no exceptions. The 4th industrial revolution is not only about the penetration of technology, but also the paradigm shift of business processes. The traditional members of the financial sector must adapt to the digitalized world to keep their positions in the market. The penetration of BigTech and FinTech companies influenced the expectations of consumers: customer experience became the main criteria of their decisions. In order to simplify and accelerate processes, banks use the methods of digitalization, and automatize the system to increase client satisfaction. In this article, we will introduce the threebank types based primarily on the usage of innovative technology, the extension and depth of the cooperation with FinTech companies, and the status of a bank’s internal digital transformation. Also, we will introduce the current status of the banking sector evidenced by our SWOT-analysis and mention some of the existing payment solutions.JEL Classification: G21, G23
Religion and law: a vector of interrelationship in modern conditions
Authors: Buchma Oleg
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the specifics of the relationship between religion and law in modern conditions. The nature of the influence of globalization/glocalization transformations on the phenomena of religion and law is revealed, and the current vector of their interrelationship, the guarantee and provision of the realization of religious rights and freedoms, is established. The peculiarities of the relationship between the norms of international, European and national law and their role in ensuring and protecting religious rights and freedoms are clarified. It has been established that the recognition of democracy as a key form of organization of modern societies contributes to the implementation of effective legal tools for guarantees, ensuring the implementation and protection of religious rights and freedoms, and restoring the value of the religious-legal connection. In this context, problematic issues were considered: defining the limits of religious rights and freedoms; resolution of religious rights conflicts; restoring the value of religious rights and freedoms; correlations of individual and collective religious rights and freedoms; guarantees and provision of religious rights and freedoms of minorities; correlations of national and international law of religious rights and freedoms; restoring the value of religious rights and freedoms.
          Organizational, normative, procedural and other obstacles that prevent the solution of these problems in Ukraine are identified: a) external (full-scale war with the Russian Federation); b) internal (insufficient institutional capacity of executive authorities; low level of effectiveness of judicial branch reform; high level of corruption; politicization of the legal space and the preference of political expediency and populist slogans over the rule of law and the rule of law; conflicts of legislation, etc. It has been established that overcoming these obstacles and solving the outlined problematic issues at different levels of the legal field (international, European, nationwide (Ukrainian)) will determine the establishment of inter-church dialogue and dialogue between the state and the church, which would be based on the principles of tolerance, mutual respect, understanding, observance of freedom of conscience and the right to choose, which will contribute to the democratic progress of Ukraine and its entry into the European family of nations with equal and full rights.

The article presents a study of the formation and development of bioethical discourse based on the analysis of leading philosophical concepts, doctrines, and religious beliefs about the value of life in various manifestations of its being. The authors note that the beginning of axiological reflection on the problem of the living can be found in the works of ancient philosophers and the early Christian discourse as attempts to sacralise life. Moreover, the authors attribute a significant role in the development of bioethical discourse to the ethical doctrine of Kant and his opponents, representatives of the phenomenological direction of philosophical anthropology. Finally, the article notes that in modern conditions, bioethical discourse is concentrated around the axiological paradigm in the doctrine of the living. The various viewpoints are proposed to be grouped into two main approaches: the ethics of sacredness (sanctity) of life and the ethics of quality of life. These approaches have significant scientific potential, which allows for the development of bioethical doctrine, employing forming moral norms and imperatives of human behaviour, as well as establishing restrictions on human influence on the means and forms of existence of the living.

Telehealth is an effective combination of medical service and intelligent technology. It can improve the problem of remote access to medical care. However, an imbalance in the allocation of health resources still occurs. People spend more time and money to access higher-quality services, which results in inequitable access to primary health care (PHC). At the same time, patients’ usage of telehealth services is limited by the equipment and their own knowledge, and the PHC service suffers from low usage efficiency and lack of service supply. Therefore, improving PHC accessibility is crucial to narrowing the global health care coverage gap and maintaining health equity. In recent years, China has explored several new approaches to improve PHC accessibility. One such approach is the capsule clinic, an emerging institution that represents an upgraded version of the internet hospital. In coordination with the United Nations, the Yinzhou district of Ningbo city in Zhejiang, China, has been testing this new model since 2020. As of October 2022, the number of applications in Ningbo was 15, and the number of users reached 12,219. Unlike internet hospitals, the entire process—from diagnosis to prescription services—can be completed at the capsule clinic. The 24-hour telehealth service could also solve transportation problems and save time for users. Big data analysis can accurately identify regional populations’ PHC service needs and improve efficiency in health resource allocation. The user-friendly, low-cost, and easily accessible telehealth model is of great significance. Installation of capsule clinics would improve PHC accessibility and resolve the uneven distribution of health resources to promote health equity.
Effects of a Social Media–Based Mind-Body Intervention Embedded With Acupressure and Mindfulness for Stress Reduction Among Family Caregivers of Frail Older Adults: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Sui Yufang , Kor Patrick Pui Kin , Li Mengli , Wang Jingjing
Published: January 2023

Background

Family caregivers of frail older adults experience high levels of stress. Mind-body interventions (MBIs) focused on caregiver stress are often limited in teaching approaches, difficult to practice, and costly. A social media–based MBI embedded with mindfulness meditation (MM) and self-administered acupressure (SA) may be effective for family caregivers, offer greater usability, and lead to greater adherence.

Objective

The aim of this study was to test the feasibility and preliminary effects of a social media–based MBI embedded with MM and SA on family caregivers of frail older adults and to investigate the preliminary effects of the intervention using a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Methods

A 2-arm randomized controlled trial design was adopted. Family caregivers of frail older adults (n=64) were randomized into either the intervention group (n=32), receiving 8 weeks of social media–based MM and SA, or the control group (n=32), receiving brief education on caregiving for people with frailty. The primary outcome (caregiver stress) and secondary outcomes (caregiver burden, sleep quality, and mindfulness awareness and attention) were measured using a web-based survey at baseline (T0), immediately after the intervention (T1), and at the 3-month follow-up (T2).

Results

The feasibility of the intervention was established with a high attendance rate (87.5%), high usability score (79), and low attrition rate (1.6%). The generalized estimating equation results showed that participants in the intervention group at T1 and T2 experienced a significant improvement in stress reduction (P=.02 and P=.04, respectively), sleep quality (P=.004 and P=.01, respectively), and mindful awareness and attention (P=.006 and P=.02, respectively) compared with the control group. There were no substantial improvements in caregiver burden at T1 and T2 (P=.59 and P=.47, respectively). A focus group session conducted after the intervention had 5 themes: impact on the family caregivers, difficulty in practicing the intervention, the strength of the program, the limitations of the program, and perception of the intervention.

Conclusions

The findings support the feasibility and preliminary effects of social media–based MBI embedded with acupressure and MM on reducing stress among family caregivers of frail older people and enhancing sleep quality and mindfulness levels. A future study with a larger and more diverse sample is proposed to evaluate the longer-term effects and generalizability of the intervention.

Accumulation of Biological and Behavioral Data of Female Sex Workers Using Respondent-Driven Sampling: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Bhatta Mihir , Majumdar Agniva , Banerjee Sitikantha , Ghosh Piyali , Biswas Subrata , Dutta Shanta
Published: January 2023

Background

Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a nonprobability sampling technique that allows the extrapolation of its outcome to the target population. This approach is typically used to overcome the difficulties in studying hidden or difficult-to-reach groups.

Objective

The purpose of this protocol is to generate a systematic review on the accumulation of biological and behavioral data of female sex workers (FSWs) through different surveys that use the RDS method from around the world in the near future. The future systematic review will discuss the initiation, actualization, and problems of RDS during the accumulation of biological and behavioral data of FSWs through surveys from around the world.

Methods

The behavior and biological data of FSWs will be extracted from peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2022 and that are acquired through RDS. Using PubMed, Google Scholar, the Cochrane database, Scopus, Science Direct, and the Global Health network, all papers that are available will be obtained using the search phrases “respondent-driven” and “Female Sex Workers” OR “FSW” OR “sex workers” OR “SW.” According to STROBE-RDS (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology for Respondent-Driven Sampling) criteria, the data will be retrieved through a data extraction form and will be organized using World Health Organization classifications of areas. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale will be used to measure bias risk and overall study quality.

Results

The future systematic review that will be generated from this protocol will offer evidence for or against the claim that using the RDS technique to recruit participants from “hidden” or “hard-to-reach” populations is the best strategy. The results will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed publication. Data collection started on April 1, 2023, and the systematic review is expected to be published by December 15, 2023.

Conclusions

A minimum set of parameters for specific methodological, analytical, and testing procedures, including RDS methods to evaluate the overall quality of any RDS survey, will be provided by the future systematic review, in accordance with this protocol, to assist researchers, policy makers, and service providers in improving RDS methods for the surveillance of any key population.

Decentered Culture and Dislocated Identity in Nadeem Aslam's Maps for Lost Lovers
Authors: P Dr. Reshmi Ravindran
Published: January 2023

In the age of global modernity where human life is increasingly shaped by the change in cultural pattern, the concept of shared culture is often debated and discussed. Modern life marked by geographical dislocations and displacement is no longer centered on the notion of purity of culture. The present paper analyses the effect of cultural decentralization affected by dislocation in Nadeem Aslam's Maps for Lost Lovers. The reading focuses in analyzing the novel, based on the effect of shared experiences in shaping and establishing their life ranging from intercultural interactions, transnational patterns, and connected life styles. The paper also traces how the decentered culture results in dislocated identity formation.
Aumento de la desigualdad del ingreso antes y después de la crisis del COVID-19 en Argentina
Authors: Poy Santiago , Robles Ramiro , Ledda Valentina , Salvia Agustin
Published: January 2023

El presente artículo examina la desigualdad en la distribución del ingreso en Argentina entre los años 2014 y 2020, bajo un contexto de estancamiento y crisis económica, que confluyó con la irrupción de la pandemia de Covid-19. Se analizaron los determinantes de la distribución del ingreso a partir de una encuesta de hogares y se implementó una descomposición del coeficiente de Gini para determinar los factores que explicaron el aumento de la desigualdad. Desde una perspectiva estructuralista, la retracción del empleo formal, la expansión del sector informal y mayor cobertura de las políticas de protección social operaron como factores centrales para explicar la mayor desigualdad en el periodo. Las transferencias sociales contribuyeron a moderar la desigualdad ante la pandemia de Covid-19.

El propósito del presente trabajo es provocar una reflexión acerca de cómo la disposición del espacio educativo afecta a la vivencia de las actitudes relacionadas con el “saber ser”. Para ello se propone una acción artística denominada “espacios (de okupación) y lugares (del ser), que utiliza la performance como herramienta mediadora entre el espacio y los contenidos transversales ligados a la inteligencia emocional. Los datos, obtenidos mediante el proceso artístico, son analizados a través de la investigación-acción, con el uso combinado de tres técnicas: el análisis de documentos gráficos, la observación participante y la entrevista. Los resultados obtenidos se desgranan en forma de relato creativo, de modo tal que dialoguen entre sí, de acuerdo con las dimensiones que dan forma al objeto de estudio. Se concluye que la performance es una práctica artística que facilita los aprendizajes actitudinales ligados a la inteligencia emocional y social

Esta investigación tomó como caso de estudio a profesorado de lengua y literatura con el propósito de indagar las tareas y los géneros demandados en instancias de evaluación. Se propuso un estudio descriptivo enmarcado en un enfoque discursivo sociocultural. En primer lugar, nos centramos en el componente evaluación de los proyectos anuales de todas las asignaturas de la carrera y, en segundo, en las consignas de los exámenes parciales para realizar análisis cualitativos y cuantitativos. Los resultados arrojan un repertorio de 37 géneros, dentro de los cuales el examen parcial es el más utilizado a lo largo de la carrera. El análisis de las consignas evidencia la solicitud de distintos tipos de tareas que promueven diversas formas de vinculación con el conocimiento, aunque se observa una tendencia a la reproducción o aplicación del conocimiento y una escasa demanda de reelaboración y de producción del mismo.
