Settlement Service Literacy and the Relationship Between Service Utilisation and Wellbeing Among Newly Arrived Migrants: A Mixed Methods Systematic Review Protocol
Authors: Woodward Kerry , Polonsky Michael , Green Julie , Abood Julianne , Renzaho Andre
Published: February 2020

Background: Settlement service literacy refers to the ability of migrants to access, understand and critically navigate settlement services. In Australia, increasing numbers of culturally and linguistically diverse migrants require settlement services to assist their transition. However, there are barriers to migrant’s ability to utilise settlement services which are related to their level of settlement service literacy. This review aims to shed light on how settlement service literacy influences new migrant’s utilisation of settlement services, and the consequences that it has for health, well-being and sense of belonging.

Methods: The review will follow the guidelines laid out by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Literature searches will be undertaken in CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, Sociological Abstracts, SocIndex, ProQuest Social Science Database, and Google Scholar. Grey literature and relevant government bodies, non-government organisations, service providers and research institutes will also be searched. Studies included will report primary data (qualitative and quantitative) on new migrant’s (under five years) ability to utilise settlement services in high income countries. Studies that meet the inclusion criteria will be imported to Covidence, two researchers will screen the studies in a two part process (title and introduction scan; and full text) for relevance. Data extracted will include general publication information (author, country, year, and publication), type of study, participants, type of settlement service, measured outcomes, and the study aims, methods and results. Finally, data will be synthesised using a narrative approach.

Discussion: The review will provide insight into the relationship between settlement service literacy and service utilisation and wellbeing for new migrants. The review will also provide data to inform settlement service policy to better cater for the needs of migrants.

Systematic review registration:This protocol has been submitted to international prospective register of systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PROSPERO) and is currently under review.
Cefotaxime vs Ceftriaxone for the Management of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes
Authors: Rasti Shinta Dewi , Rochmanti Maftuchah , Primariawan Relly Yanuari
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Antibiotics are well known and recommended as the main therapy for preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM.) But the research on antibiotics other than the recommended macrolides regimens is still lacking. This research aims to evaluate whether there are effects differences of cefotaxime and ceftriaxone given on pregnancy with PPROM by comparing the duration of the latency period and the infants outcomes.

Material and Methods: Data was taken retrospectively through medical records at Dr. Soetomo Surabaya General Hospital, Indonesia during the period of January-December 2017. The inclusion criteria were a history of PPROM in pregnancy <37 weeks, given cefotaxime or ceftriaxone therapy, and have labor data. The analysis was performed by the Mann-Whitney comparison test for the latency period and Fisher's exact test for infant outcomes.

Results: There were 52 samples obtained. The antibiotics used were cefotaxime 3x1gr (A) and ceftriaxone 2x1gr (B). The results of the analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the types of antibiotics with the length of the latency period, with a value of p = 0,601 (p>0,05), where group A had a median of 52,67 hours and group B was 34,17 hours. Group A was found to be more able to extend the latency period for >48 hours with a percentage of 57,8%, whereas in group B only 42,9%. There are no significant differences in infant outcomes; infant birth weight and Apgar score among the two therapies used.

Conclusion: Cefotaxime was more preferably to be used in the Dr. Soetomo Surabaya General Hospital. Nevertheless, ceftriaxone can still be a good choice for PPROM therapy since both cephalosporins have succeeded in preventing infections in women with PPROM.
Does percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy increase the risk of pleural recurrence in patients with stage I lung cancer?
Authors: Cheng Diou , Wang Zihuai , Cui Jian , Liu Lunxu
Published: February 2020

A best evidence topic in thoracic surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was: does percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) increase the risk of pleural recurrence in patients with stage I lung cancer? Altogether, 298 papers were found using the reported search, of which 7 cohort studies and 1 meta-analysis represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers were tabulated. Four cohort studies suggested an association between PTNB and pleural recurrence in patients with stage I lung cancer, while the other 3 cohort studies found that PTNB had no impact. One meta-analysis (the largest study) including 5 of the cohort studies above concluded that PTNB increased the risk of pleural recurrence among patients with stage I lung cancer with subpleural lesions. Based on the available evidence, it was suggested that there may be an association between PTNB and pleural recurrence in patients with stage I lung cancer, especially for patients with subpleural lesion.
Correlated Evolution of Large DNA Fragments in the 3D Genome of Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: Yan Yubin , Li Zhaohong , Li Ye , Wu Zefeng , Yang Ruolin
Published: February 2020

In eukaryotes, the three-dimensional (3D) conformation of the genome is far from random, and this nonrandom chromatin organization is strongly correlated with gene expression and protein function, which are two critical determinants of the selective constraints and evolutionary rates of genes. However, whether genes and other elements that are located close to each other in the 3D genome evolve in a coordinated way has not been investigated in any organism. To address this question, we constructed chromatin interaction networks (CINs) in Arabidopsis thaliana based on high-throughput chromosome conformation capture data and demonstrated that adjacent large DNA fragments in the CIN indeed exhibit more similar levels of polymorphism and evolutionary rates than random fragment pairs. Using simulations that account for the linear distance between fragments, we proved that the 3D chromosomal organization plays a role in the observed correlated evolution. Spatially interacting fragments also exhibit more similar mutation rates and functional constraints in both coding and noncoding regions than the random expectations, indicating that the correlated evolution between 3D neighbors is a result of combined evolutionary forces. A collection of 39 genomic and epigenomic features can explain much of the variance in genetic diversity and evolutionary rates across the genome. Moreover, features that have a greater effect on the evolution of regional sequences tend to show higher similarity between neighboring fragments in the CIN, suggesting a pivotal role of epigenetic modifications and chromatin organization in determining the correlated evolution of large DNA fragments in the 3D genome.
What Is Community Policing?: Divergent Agendas, Practices, and Experiences of Transforming the Police in Kenya
Authors: Diphoorn Tessa , van Stapele Naomi
Published: February 2020

In line with global trends, community policing has been a vehicle for transforming the state police in Kenya. This article analyses various community policing efforts in Kenya and argues that many of these initiatives have largely failed to act as a vehicle for transformation due to three interconnected problems of diversity, representation, and ownership. The first problem—diversity—relates to the multiplicity of definitions, manifestations, and practices of community policing, which creates uncertainty and provides space for various actors to engage with it in conflicting ways. The second problem—representation—concerns the identification and creation of the ‘community’: this remains to occur in a state-driven manner and is also not a straightforward concept or organizational unit, especially in a highly multi-ethnic and classed setting as Kenya. The third is ownership: community policing is not experienced or exercised as a partnership, but as a state-centric framework that should remain under the direction and ownership of the state police. We make our claim by focusing on Likoni, Mombasa and drawing from further qualitative data conducted by both authors in Kenya.

Published: February 2020

Objectives

Latest epidemic data of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected Pneumonia (COVID-19) was collected and a detailed statistical analysis was carried out to make comparison with 2003-SARS in order to provide scientific reference for the prevention and control of COVID-19.

Methods

The information of COVID-19 and 2003-SARS from websites of NHCPRC and the World Health Organization was collected, and then the transmission dynamics of the two kinds of infectious diseases were analyzed. The information of 853 confirmed COVID-19 patients obtained from the website of health committees of 18 provinces. A descriptive epidemiological analysis method was employed to carefully analyze the epidemic characteristics. Subsequently, the COVID-19 epidemic data in Wuhan and other inland regions of China was analyzed separately and compared. A multivariate function model was constructed based on the confirmed COVID-19 case data.

Results

The growth rate of new cases and deaths of COVID-19 were significantly faster than those of 2003-SARS. The number of confirmed cases in Wuhan and other inland areas both showed increasing trends. 853 confirmed COVID-19 cases aged 1 months to 94 years and the average age was (45.05 ± 17.22) years. The gender ratio (M: F) was 1.12: 1.

Conclusions

The fatality rate of COVID-19 is lower than that of 2003-SARS and the cure rate is higher. The age of COVID-19 patients is mainly concentrated in the 30-50 years old (60.61%). The harm of the first-generation COVID-19 patients is higher than that of secondary cases.
Mapping metabolic oscillations during cell cycle progression

Published: February 2020

Proliferating cells must synthesize a wide variety of macromolecules while progressing through the cell cycle, but the coordination between cell cycle progression and cellular metabolism is still poorly understood. To identify metabolic processes that oscillate over the cell cycle, we performed comprehensive, non-targeted liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) based metabolomics of HeLa cells isolated in the G1and SG2M cell cycle phases, capturing thousands of diverse metabolite ions. When accounting for increased total metabolite abundance due to cell growth throughout the cell cycle, 18% of the observed LC-HRMS peaks were at least 2-fold different between the stages, consistent with broad metabolic remodeling throughout the cell cycle. While most amino acids, phospholipids, and total ribonucleotides were constant across cell cycle phases, consistent with the view that total macromolecule synthesis does not vary across the cell cycle, certain metabolites were oscillating. For example, ribonucleotides were highly phosphorylated in SG2M, indicating an increase in energy charge, and several phosphatidylinositols were more abundant in G1, possibly indicating altered membrane lipid signaling. Within carbohydrate metabolism, pentose phosphates and methylglyoxal metabolites were associated with the cycle. Interestingly, hundreds of yet uncharacterized metabolites similarly oscillated between cell cycle phases, suggesting previously unknown metabolic activities that may be synchronized with cell cycle progression, providing an important resource for future studies.
High contiguityde novogenome sequence assembly of Trifoliate yam (Dioscorea dumetorum) using long read sequencing
Authors: Siadjeu Christian , Pucker Boas , Viehöver Prisca , Albach Dirk C. , Weisshaar Bernd
Published: February 2020

Trifoliate yam (Dioscorea dumetorum) is one example of an orphan crop, not traded internationally. Post-harvest hardening of the tubers of this species starts within 24 hours after harvesting and renders the tubers inedible. Genomic resources are required forD. dumetorumto improve breeding for non-hardening varieties as well as for other traits. We sequenced theD. dumetorumgenome and generated the corresponding annotation. The two haplophases of this highly heterozygous genome were separated to a large extent. The assembly represents 485 Mbp of the genome with an N50 of over 3.2 Mbp. A total of 35,269 protein-encoding gene models as well as 9,941 non-coding RNA genes were predicted and functional annotations were assigned.
Earlier and More Robust Sensorimotor Discrimination of ASL Signs in Deaf Signers During Imitation
Authors: Quandt Lorna C. , Willis A. S.
Published: February 2020

Background:Prior research suggests that the amount of experience an individual has with an action influences the degree to which the sensorimotor systems of their brain are involved in the subsequent perception of those actions. Less is known about how action experience and conceptual understanding impact sensorimotor involvement during imitation. We sought to explore this question by comparing a group of sign language users to a group of non-signers. We pitted the following two hypotheses against each other: 1) Deaf signers will show increased sensorimotor activity during sign imitation, and greater differentiation between sign types, due to greater prior experience and conceptual understanding of the signs; versus 2): Deaf signers will show less sensorimotor system activity and less differentiation of sign types in the sensorimotor system, because for those individuals sign imitation involves language systems of the brain more robustly than sensorimotor systems. We collected electroencephalograms (EEG) while the two groups imitated videos showing one-handed and two-handed ASL signs. Time-frequency data analysis was performed on alpha- and beta-range oscillations while they watched signs with the intent to imitate, and imitated the signs. During observation, deaf signers showed early differentiation in alpha/beta power between the one- and two-handed sign conditions, whereas hearing non-signers did not discriminate between the sign categories this way. Significant differences between groups were seen during sign imitation, wherein deaf signers showed desynchronization of alpha/beta EEG signals, and hearing non-signers showed increased power. The study suggests that in an imitative context, deaf signers engage anticipatory motor preparation in advance of action production, while hearing non-signers engage slower, more memory-related processes to help them complete with the complex task.
Identifying Longevity Associated Genes by Integrating Gene Expression and Curated Annotations
Authors: Townes F. William , Carr Kareem , Miller Jeffrey W.
Published: February 2020

Aging is a complex process with poorly understood genetic mechanisms. Recent studies have sought to classify genes as pro-longevity or anti-longevity using a variety of machine learning algorithms. However, it is not clear which types of features are best for optimizing classification performance and which algorithms are best suited to this task. Further, performance assessments based on held-out test data are lacking. We systematically compare five popular classification algorithms using gene ontology and gene expression datasets as features to predict the pro-longevity versus anti-longevity status of genes for two model organisms (C. elegansandS. cerevisiae) using the GenAge database as ground truth. We find that elastic net penalized logistic regression performs particularly well at this task. Using elastic net, we make novel predictions of pro- and anti-longevity genes that are not currently in the GenAge database.
talklr uncovers ligand-receptor mediated intercellular crosstalk
Authors: Wang Yuliang
Published: February 2020

Single cell RNA-seq measures the transcriptomes of many cell types across diverse conditions. However, an emerging challenge is to uncover how different cell types communicate with each other to maintain tissue homeostasis, and how inter-cellular communications are perturbed in diseases. To address this problem, we developed talklr, an information theory-based approach to uncover potential ligand-receptor interactions involved in tissue homeostasis and diseases. Compared to existing approaches that analyze changes in each gene in each cell type separately, talklr uses a holistic approach to simultaneously consider expression changes in both ligands and receptors across multiple cell types and conditions. talklr outperformed existing approaches in identifying ligand-receptor interactions, including those known to be important for tissue-specific functions and diseases across diverse datasets. talklr can reveal important signaling events in many biological problems in an unbiased way, and will be a valuable tool in single cell RNA-seq analysis. talklr is available as both an interactive website and an R package.
Re-evaluating Atlantic cod mortality including lobster bycatch: where could we be today?
Authors: Boenish Robert , Chen Yong
Published: February 2020

Full accounting of fisheries mortality is one of the most tractable ways to improve stock assessments. However, it can be challenging to obtain in cases when missing catch comes from small-scale nontarget fisheries unrequired to report incidental catch. Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Gulf of Maine (GoM), USA, once served as a regionally important fishery, but has been serially depleted to <5% of historic spawning stock biomass. Recent management efforts to rebuild GoM cod have largely failed. We test the hypothesis that unaccounted bycatch of Atlantic cod in the Maine American lobster (Homarus americanus) fishery is a substantial missing piece in the GoM Atlantic cod assessment. We integrated multiple scenarios of hind-casted discards into the two accepted regional cod assessment models from 1982 to 2016. Incorporation of discards improved the assessment bias for both models (10%–15%), increased estimates of spawning stock biomass (4%), and decreased estimates of fishing mortality (9%). A novel evaluation of longitudinal model bias suggests that alternative modelling approaches or specifications may be warranted. We highlight the importance of accounting for all fishery-related mortality and the need for methods to deliver more comprehensive estimates from both target and nontarget fisheries.

Authors: AlMalki Mussa H. , Alotaibi Metib , Ahmad Mohammad Maswood , Rahman Muhammad Amin ur , Alharthi Turki
Published: February 2020

Schwannoma is a benign neurogenic tumor originating from the neural sheath of Schwann cells. It is an extremely rare cause of adrenal adenoma which is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We report the case of a right adrenal schwannoma discovered incidentally in a 62-year-old woman during evaluation of right flank pain. The biochemical and hormonal evaluations were unremarkable. Radiological examination revealed a 4.8 cm lesion keeping with right adrenal adenoma. Surgical intervention was done due to the large size of the tumor, and laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histological examination established the diagnosis of schwannoma, which was further confirmed by immunohistochemical staining. In conclusion, adrenal schwannoma is extremely rare and can be misdiagnosed as nonsecreting adrenal adenoma. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice which is associated with favorable outcome and also helps in clarifying its histopathological nature.

Published: February 2020

Dorsopathies are common causes of decreased performance in athletic horses of various modalities, and inadequate or poorly adjusted saddles can lead to the onset of injuries and low back pain. The present study, searching to find the most appropriate saddle, evaluated the pressure determined from the panels of two saddle models most commonly used in endurance Arab horse on the thoracolumbar region. For the study, six Arabian geldings were used, weighing 390 ± 4.2 and 2.1 ± age 8 years, conditioned to endurance races, and two saddle models, English and Western. The horses were submitted to the work riding on a sandy lane by the same experienced rider who weighed 76 kg. Thermography was performed before and after each exercise session. The obtained data were analyzed through Student’s paired t-test at 5% of significance. After exercise, there was a mean temperature difference between the contact areas of the right and left of the sweepers of two saddles compared, with the English saddle showing higher temperatures. Therefore, the Western saddle model, which has wider panels, despite not being a preferred model of endure riders, has proved to be more suitable for Arabian horse work.

"Os mesmos sem roteiro tristes périplos"
Authors: Franz Marcelo
Published: February 2020

Este estudo analisa os significados das metáforas do caminho e do caminhar na poesia de Carlos Drummond de Andrade em cotejo com a abordagem do exílio e do não-lugar do sujeito em poemas de Jorge de Sena. As obras destes autores retratam e refletem a sua época de forma complexa, evidenciando a instabilidade psicológica, social e cultural do homem do século XX. Segundo Sena, “A expressão poética, com todos os seus ingredientes, recursos, apelos aos sentidos, resulta de um compromisso: um compromisso firmado entre um ser humano e o seu tempo”. As temáticas que nos propomos a analisar em Drummond e Sena mostram, para além da sintonia entre ambos, a experiência do testemunho lírico e humano na forma de uma imersão do escritor em sua época. Analisaremos, a partir disso, as contradições, aceitas e assumidas pelos poetas, do conceito polissêmico e indefinido de “moderno” e as ponderações possíveis em face do modo como o deslocamento se enuncia no que eles escreveram e o que isso diz sobre o mundo, o tempo (e a poesia) em que viveram.
A lógica da mídia brasileira e os desafios para democratizar a comunicação

O debate sobre a atuação da mídia no Brasil, em especial a televisão aberta, é uma das abordagens centrais de “A mídia descontrolada: episódios da luta contra o pensamento único”, livro mais recente do professor aposentado da ECA/USP, Laurindo Lalo Leal Filho. Resultado das reflexões do autor em artigos publicados na Revista do Brasil entre 2010 e 2018, a publicação levanta a crítica sobre temas como o posicionamento político adotado pelo jornalismo, a criminalização dos movimentos sociais e a ausência de regulação democrática do setor de comunicação. Também traz análises de como a hegemonia do sistema privado de mídia sobre as esferas cultural, social e política impõe obstáculos à luta pela democratização da comunicação e, por conseguinte, à veiculação de ideias alternativas.
O Ministério Público nas trincheiras da colaboração premiada
Authors: Casteluci Eduardo
Published: February 2020

Neste artigo, analisamos a disputa protagonizada pelo Ministério Público brasileiro nos autos da Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade 5.508, cujo tema foi a prerrogativa de negociação de acordos de colaboração premiada. Por meio dela, pretendemos mapear as dinâmicas da competição pela concentração de recursos de poder para o combate da corrupção política. Para tanto, adotamos a perspectiva de uma sociologia relacional e política do direito e incorporamos as informações bibliográficas da sociologia das profissões e dos estudos político-institucionais. Discernimos que a Ação contém duas dimensões de disputas: uma em cujo centro está o tipo de modelo acusatório adotado no processo penal brasileiro e outra, em cujo centro está a colaboração premiada em si mesma. Em ambos os casos, enfatizamos a análise de seus aspectos e possíveis consequências paradoxais. A colaboração premiada é, desse modo, um recurso indispensável para as estratégias de melhoramento das posições dos membros do Ministério Público ao mesmo tempo em que se constitui enquanto uma ameaça à autonomia dessa organização. As táticas hegemonizantes que adotam como forma de resolução dessa contradição podem, por sua vez, produzir a desintegração da cooperação que vem permitindo a eficiência da justiça no combate à corrupção.
A “Briga com a Juíza”
Authors: Pires Victória Brasiliense de Castro , Geraldo Pedro Heitor Barros
Published: February 2020

Este artigo analisa as mobilizações profissionais articuladas por um grupo de advogados em um conflito com uma juíza. Nosso objetivo é compreender como os advogados mobilizaram o atributo da “coragem” como categoria nativa de identificação positiva de alguns profissionais na reivindicação por suas prerrogativas. Esta análise se situa entre os campos de estudo da sociologia do direito e da sociologia das profissões, na medida em que compreendemos as identidades e interações profissionais por meio das relações que os atores estabelecem entre si e com os textos normativos a partir de nossa cultura jurídica. Fizemos uma observação participante durante um conflito entre advogados e uma magistrada numa comarca do interior, tendo como interlocutores um grupo de advogados envolvidos na “briga com a juíza”. Dessa forma, com o trabalho de campo, concluímos que a questão da “coragem” para nossos interlocutores representa o risco em lidar com um poder judiciário arbitrário e que não produz previsibilidade.

Published: February 2020

Este artigo apresenta os resultados parciais de uma pesquisa que o Núcleo de Estudos da Violência da Universidade de São Paulo vem desenvolvendo sobre a legitimidade das instituições no Brasil, dentre elas o Judiciário. Parte-se do conceito de procedural justice, de acordo com o qual a legitimidade é resultado da inter-relação entre os cidadãos e os servidores públicos, bem como da noção de auto-legitimidade, que considera a crença que os agentes possuem no direito de exercer sua autoridade. Neste trabalho, explora-se a auto-legitimidade construída por juízes de diferentes áreas do direito, a partir de entrevistas realizadas na cidade de São Paulo. As análises preliminares indicam duas concepções antagônicas sobre autoridade judicial, expressas nas posições elaboradas pelos juízes sobre a importância do contato entre eles e a população: uma – mais comum entre juízes da área cível – de que o direito é uma atividade técnica mediada por seus operadores e que prescinde do contato com o público; e outra – expressa por alguns juízes da área criminal – de que o contato com as pessoas envolvidas no processo e sua situação particular é importante para produzir decisões corretas e justas.

Didáticas para análise urbana em área precária: um estudo na São Remo em São Paulo
Authors: Grinover Marina Mange , Zuquim Maria De Lourdes
Published: February 2020

O artigo apresenta experiência didática que articulou outras metodologias e disciplinas para leitura socioterritorial em favelas paulistas. A disciplina de pós-graduação procurou compreender as dinâmicas urbana e social da favela São Remo em São Paulo, relacionando sua formação histórica e a realidade atual. Diante das transformações das relações social e urbana das favelas paulistas nos últimos 20 anos, justifica-se a necessidade da experimentação de outras práticas didáticas de leitura e compreensão do território de intervenção. A formação de pesquisadores e projetistas aptos para outras formas de leitura nos levou a estudar a favela São Remo associando pesquisa teórica à vivência na comunidade. Os resultados, sintetizados em cartografias e diagramas, permitiram acesso claro a dados históricos, territoriais e sociais complexos da favela e foram ordenados em plataforma digital (site) para socializar o conhecimento além do âmbito acadêmico. Concluímos que a análise das áreas precárias necessita de um campo ampliado de leituras e reflexões capazes de contemplar a complexidade do lugar e seus habitantes, rompendo o estigma que aparta o entendimento de cidade na vida de bairros precários.
Os community land trusts como instrumento de resistência aos projetos urbanos neoliberais
Authors: Antão Renata Cristina do Nascimento , Ribeiro Tarcyla Fidalgo
Published: February 2020

O Community Land Trust é um modelo estabelecido com vistas à proteção de permanência de comunidades vulneráveis. Ela surge nos Estados Unidos, na década de 1960, atrelada aos movimentos por direitos civis e à população residente em áreas rurais. Este artigo busca avaliar as potencialidades e os limites de sua aplicação no Brasil enquanto resistência e prática biopotente em um espaço urbano marcado por elevados percentuais de irregularidade e por uma grave situação de desigualdade socioespacial. Em um contexto que agrava após os megaeventos no início da segunda década do século XXI e com a ruptura democrática e o aprofundamento da lógica neoliberal nas cidades a partir de 2016, torna-se necessário e urgente o estabelecimento de novas práticas e formas de gestão da propriedade que desenhem possíveis subversões à lógica do Poder. Os Community Land Trusts são propostos aqui como forma de prática jurídica subversiva, seja a partir da defesa da necessidade de uma legislação própria sobre o tema, seja pela utilização dos instrumentos jurídicos já existentes de forma a basear a criação de um modelo proprietário emancipatório.

METHOD: Single, explanatory, qualitative, integrated case study carried out in 2017, in the context of the triple Amazon border, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, in the city of Tabatinga, state of Amazonas, Brazil. Our sources of evidence were: documentary data; interviews with health managers of the State Health Secretariats of Amazonas and Municipal Health of Tabatinga, Municipal Health Council of Tabatinga and Consulate of Peru in Colombia; and direct observations in four health services of Tabatinga. Data were organized with MaxQDA12® software. RESULTS: Data analyzed showed that, during the study period, the Brazilian federal government made several health cooperation agreements with both Peru and Colombia and that the state government of Amazonas undertook strategies to improve the health conditions of the dwellers of Tabatinga and the region of Alto Solimões, which indirectly reached the populations of neighboring countries, supporting the interrelationships between the countries of the region. Regarding the municipal government, we verified the existence of health integration agreements, established informally, to minimize the adversities of the local health. CONCLUSION: The cooperation strategies in health adopted in the triple Amazon border have different purposes, benefits and limitations. It is noteworthy that the existence of cooperation agreements between the federal governments of Brazil, Colombia and Peru and the presence of informal cooperation agreements between the municipal governments of Tabatinga (Brazil), Leticia (Colombia) and Santa Rosa (Peru). The limitations of this study are the lack of knowledge of local managers about the cooperation agreements established between federal governments and the lack of legitimacy of the informal agreements established by the Tabatinga government.
The status regarding publication date and availability of taxonomic works published online without proper Zoobank preregistration

Authors: DUBOIS ALAIN
Published: February 2020

In 2012, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature decided to change the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and to provide a path to afford nomenclatural availability to new nomina and nomenclatural acts through their publication online, as long as the work containing them is preregistered on the website Zoobank under precise conditions. This 2012 Amendment soon raised a number of problems. First, it allows ‘admissible errors’ in this registration, which serves to encourage zootaxonomists, referees, editors and publishers not to pay close attention to this Amendment and to make inadmissible errors, which results in the unavailability of the new nomina and nomenclatural acts at stake. Another source of errors is the fact that Zoobank, contrary to initial plans, does not currently allow the preregistration of nomenclatural acts other than the establishment of new nomina. Other issues are the fuzzy or controversial distinctions made in this Amendment between ‘facsimiles of unavailable works’ and ‘available paper publications’ on one hand, and between ‘preliminary versions’ and ‘final versions’ of online publications on the other hand. Less than ten years after its promulgation, this Amendment has already contributed to the publication of hundreds of unavailable nomina and, which is perhaps worse, of nomina the nomenclatural status regarding availability of which is unclear, according to different interpretations of some terms or rules. The best solution to these problems would no doubt be the publication, as soon as possible, of a revised version of this Amendment addressing these problems, but in the meanwhile better attention given by authors, referees, editors and publishers to the details of this Amendment could limit the damages. Precise proposals are offered in this respect. A distinction is introduced here between two kinds of scientific publications, according to whether they contain nomenclatural acts or not. Those which do but which have first been published online without complying with the requirements of the 2012 Amendment, then later in a Code-compliant manner, may have to be cited as two distinct works, one (publication sensu lato) containing non-nomenclatural information and one (nomenclatural publication or promulgation) providing availability to some nomenclatural acts, which will be a source of confusion and misunderstanding. Proposals are also provided to cope with this new difficulty.

The inner shelf sediments of the East China Sea (ECS) preserve valuable information regarding climatic changes on land through detrital material discharged from large rivers, particularly the Yangtze River. In this paper, we examine the provenance changes of fine-grained detrital quartz preserved in the sediment of the MD06-3040 core retrieved from the mud belt on the inner shelf of the ECS during the last 6 kyrs. The provenance of the fine silt fraction (4–16 μm) of the sediments, which is considered to represent the suspended particulate matter (SPM) from the Yangtze River, is estimated based on the electron spin resonance (ESR) signal intensity and crystallinity index (CI) of quartz. By comparing the ESR signal intensity and CI of quartz in the fine silt fraction of sediments to those from different parts of tributaries in the modern Yangtze River drainage, we can discriminate the SPM sourced from the northwestern and southeastern tributaries of the Yangtze River. Shifts in the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) front are monitored by changes in the main precipitation areas which are manifested as changes in source rock ages and types implied from the ESR signal intensity and CI of quartz in the fine silt fraction of the studied sediments discharged from the Yangtze River. Temporal changes in provenance of the fine silt fraction through time suggest that shifts in the main location of EASM precipitation (most likely representing the EASM front) occurred at a multi-centennial-to-millennial scale with the deepest northwestward penetration of the EASM precipitation front (an enhanced EASM) occurring during the period 3.5–2.0 kyr BP and a southeastward retreat (a weak EASM) occurring during the periods 6.0–4.1 and 2.0–0 kyr BP.
Hubungan antara Nilai C−Reactive Protein, Immature To Total Neutrophil Ratio, dan Red Cell Distribution Width dengan Kejadian Sepsis Neonatorum Bayi Prematur
Authors: Hakiem Fouad , Susanah Susi , Yuniati Tetty
Published: February 2020

Latar belakang. Bayi prematur rentan terhadap infeksi yang berisiko sepsis akibat sistem imun yang belum sempurna. Deteksi dini sepsis neonatorum dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan sistem penilaian modifikasi Tollner yang berdasarkan penilaian klinis dan parameter laboratorium, seperti C-Reactive Protein (CRP), rasio Immature to Total Neutrophil (rasio I/T), dan Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW). Pemeriksaan RDW menunjukkan heterogenitas eritrosit akibat detruksi eritrosit oleh suatu proses infeksi.Tujuan. Mengetahui hubungan antara nilai CRP, rasio I/T, dan RDW dengan kejadian sepsis neonatorum bayi prematur. Metode. Studi kasus kontrol menggunakan data sekunder rekam medis dengan subjek penelitian bayi prematur usia gestasi 28-<37 minggu yang dirawat di ruang neonatus Rumah Sakit Hasan Sadikin (RSHS) periode Desember 2018−Mei 2019. Kelompok kasus adalah bayi prematur sepsis, sedangkan kelompok kontrol adalah bayi prematur sakit tidak sepsis yang dilakukan pemeriksaan CRP, rasio I/T, dan RDW. Data dianalisis secara bivariat dan multivariat dengan regresi logistik menggunakan program SPSS dan STATA.Hasil. Penelitian ini melibatkan 30 bayi prematur sepsis dan 30 bayi prematur tidak sakit (kontrol). Analisis bivariat menunjukkan nilai CRP dan rasio IT berhubungan bermakna terhadap kejadian sepsis dengan masing-masing p<0,001 dan p<0,011. Analisis multivariat dengan regresi logistik menunjukkan nilai CRP >0,64 mg/dL berisiko 32 kali terhadap kejadian sepsis (p<0,001) dibandingkan rasio I/T >0,119 dan RDW >18,7% yang masing-masing 3,2 kali (p=0,446) dan 0,9 kali (p=0,947) terhadap kejadian sepsis.Kesimpulan. Pemeriksaan CRP merupakan pemeriksaan yang lebih baik dalam membantu menegakkan diagnosis sepsis neonatorum bayi prematur dibandingkan pemeriksaan rasio I/T dan RDW.

Los jóvenes “Ni-Ni”: Un estigma que invisibiliza los problemas sociales de la juventud
Authors: García-Fuentes Juan , Martínez García José Saturnino
Published: February 2020

Este artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la categoría de jóvenes “NI-NI” y demostrar empíricamente, que es una forma de ocultar los problemas sociales a los que se enfrentan por no tener en cuenta las restricciones estructurales que llevan a esa situación.  Este escenario se ha convertido en un patrón de desajuste social, donde la falta de experiencia en el trabajo, propicia una situación vulnerable para quienes inician su inserción laboral, que puede dejar una “cicatriz” a lo largo de su vida. Nos centramos como perspectiva de análisis, en las transiciones juveniles, donde no todos los jóvenes logran salir de la precariedad laboral de adultos. Este mercado, precario, de bajos salarios, inseguro y flexible, no conecta con las necesidades juveniles, enquistadas en una crisis socio-económica y con pocas oportunidades. La elaboración del artículo se basa en una selección de fuentes bibliográficas para aproximarnos al estudio. Asimismo, describe los datos recogidos por la Encuesta de Población Activa (EPA) sobre la evolución de los jóvenes NI-NI, su relación con el mercado laboral y los motivos por los que no buscan empleo. Destacar, entre las conclusiones de este artículo, que la debilidad de los vínculos laborales termina por erosionar los derechos de ciudadanía de la población juvenil.

Published: February 2020

The study aimed to evaluate the English preparation curriculum at Aydın Adnan Menderes University School of Foreign Languages according to the Bellon and Handler model. The study was designed as a “case study”, which aimed to obtain qualitative and quantitative data from the selected case. 310 English preparation class students, 26 English lecturers, 26 lecturers of other departments and 24 students of other departments participated in the study. The data were gathered through a scale, questionnaire, interviews, class observations and document analysis. The study was conducted according to the four steps of the “Bellon and Handler Model”. Findings were presented according to the status descriptions, analysis activities and curriculum improvement components of the four steps. In conclusion, it was found that there were no philosophy or goals of the English preparatory curriculum. Though the students had positive motivation towards learning English, they could not reach the desired level. Moreover, the inefficacy of teaching of the skills courses was emphasized by all participants. This problem was thought result from lack of practice. There were some communication problems between the administration and other participants. Physical facilities should be improved. Professional English teaching should be included in the preparatory school curriculum. Furthermore, the involvement of some stakeholders in the decision-making process should be enabled.
