Theoretical study of the effect of ports in the formation of city systems
Authors: Lugo Igor , Martínez-Mekler Gustavo
Published: July 2022

This paper explores theoretically the formation of a system of cities in which ports affect the spatial location and the size of cities. We use a complex systems and economic geography approach to generate 2D cellular automata to simulate the formation of the landscape of urban agglomerations based on different configurations of port locations. The dynamics of the model shows the emergence of the classical city-size distributions in which the number of ports and their layout affects the growth rate and location of the city-size values. Our findings showed that the two port-city configuration give rise to cities at a long distance from a small number of ports. The size of the cities shows a positive correlations with their distance to ports. A four port-city configuration showed that if the number of ports increases, lower city-sizes are attained and their population displays a negative correlations with their distance to ports. For a lateral configuration with a significantly increase in the number of ports, mainly homogeneous city-size distributions are favored with a slight long-distance size correlation. Therefore, our theoretical model shows a high internal consistency between the theory and assumptions used for describing reliable scenarios in the relationship of ports and urban systems.
The effect of systemic lupus erythematosus on sexual function in women: an updated meta-analysis based on cross-sectional studies
Authors: Liu Maoyu , Dou Jianguo , Wang Qianqian
Published: July 2022

Background

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a chronic systemic autoimmune disease, often affects different organs and tissues. It can be effectively managed using drugs; however, attention should be paid to the patient’s quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SLE on female sexual function based on current literature.

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for eligible studies published up to November 9, 2021. This review included all English studies that compared the sexual function between women with SLE and healthy women. A meta-analysis was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Results

A total of 367 records were retrieved from 3 electronic databases. Five studies that involved 710 women with SLE and 2059 healthy women were finally included in this meta-analysis. The result indicated a significant decrease (mean difference =  − 1.74, 95% confidence interval − 3.14 to − 0.34, p = 0.02) in the total scores of the Female Sexual Function Index in women with SLE, implying that healthy women had better sexual function than those with SLE.

Conclusion

The results of our study indicated that SLE could negatively affect the quality of sexual life in terms of desire, arousal, and pain. Thus, close attention should be paid to the sexual function of women with SLE.

Historical review: the German Neurological Society and its honorary members (1952–1982)
Authors: Martin Michael , Fangerau Heiner , Karenberg Axel
Published: July 2022

Background

As part of a larger project commissioned by the German Neurological Society (DGN), this paper focuses on the DGN’s German and Austrian honorary members. In particular, the question of whether former membership in the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) or other Nazi organizations was an obstacle to becoming an honorary member in the years 1952–1982, and whether victims of the Nazi regime were also considered for honorary membership.

Results

From the early 1950s to the early 1980s, the DGN awarded honorary membership to 55 individuals. Of these, 27 were German or Austrian citizens who were physicians during the Nazi era, and 17 of the 27 (63%) were members of the NSDAP, Storm Troopers (SA), or Schutzstaffel (SS). In the early postwar period, honorary membership was much less frequently awarded to former Nazi Party members than in the years around 1980. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the only neurologist forced to emigrate, received his honorary membership in 1971. Brief biographies of Hans Jacob, Gustav Bodechtel, Karl Kleist, and Ludwig Guttmann outline exemplary careers and life histories, in addition to highlighting key issues such as concurrent research on “euthanasia” victims, denazification procedures, forced emigration, and the contemporary mindset in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Conclusions

Apparently, a “Nazi past” did not play a decisive role in the selection process for honorary members within the DGN until at least the 1980s. Aside from Guttmann, no other neuroscientist expelled from Germany was honored. With these practices, the Society marginalized its Jewish colleagues for a second time.

Introduction

COVID-19 patients with cancer had poorer outcomes due to immunosuppression during cancer care, poor general condition, and other comorbidities. The study was conducted to present the real-world analysis of the effect of treatment interruptions on the outcomes of patients treated with radiation therapy during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in a tertiary care institute in India.

Materials and methods

The study is a retrospective observational cohort study on cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy from March 2020 to January 2021. The study’s primary outcome was to analyze the effect of treatment interruptions on the outcomes of patients treated with radiation therapy during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic.

Results

Between March 2020 to January 2021, 218 eligible patients undergoing radiation therapy were found for the study. Among the 218 patients, 25 patients (11.47%) were found positive for COVID-19, while 193 patients (88.53%) were negative for COVID-19. Among COVID-19-positive patients, ten patients had < 3 weeks of treatment interruption, while 15 patients had > 3 weeks of treatment interruptions. After recovering from COVID-19, treatment was resumed and completed for 15 (60.00%) of the COVID-19-positive patients. In comparison, 13 patients (52.00%) were lost to follow-up. Three of the COVID-19-positive patients died. The disease was clinically controlled in 12 (48.00%) of the COVID-19-positive patients, and the patients reported locoregional disease progression in 10 (40.00%). Among the 193 COVID-19-negative patients, 32 patients (16.58%) had treatment interruption. Twelve patients (37.50%) had treatment interruptions for less than 1 week. There was a significant difference in the delay of radiation treatment delivery by 2 weeks (11 fractions) in COVID-19-positive patients compared to only two fractions delay in COVID-19-negative patients.

Conclusion

COVID-19 impacted the treatment outcomes in both COVID-19-positive and COVID-19-negative cohorts of patients. There was a longer duration of treatment interruptions in the COVID-19-positive patients, leading to fewer patients completing the radiation treatment and thereby increased locoregional disease progression. There was a significant difference in the delay in treatment between the two groups.

Published: July 2022

Background

Hypersplenism, one of the major complications of portal hypertension, is traditionally treated by splenectomy. However, partial splenic artery embolization is an evolving minimally invasive intervention to treat these patients effectively.

Case presentation

A 13-year-old girl was referred for further evaluation of isolated splenomegaly with pancytopenia. She did not have bleeding manifestations or features of anemia. She never had hematemesis or melena. On examination, she was pale. Abdominal examination revealed massive splenomegaly of 10 cm below the costal margin without hepatomegaly. Rest of the examination was unremarkable. Her investigations revealed a white cell count of 1700/mm3(neutrophils 9.8% and lymphocytes 88.7%), hemoglobin 9.5 g/dL and platelet count 42,000/mm3. Blood picture showed pancytopenia without abnormal cells. Her reticulocyte count was 1.9%. Complete liver profile was normal. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed massive splenomegaly with the oblique length of 17 cm and normal echogenic liver with normal size. Cavernous transformation of portal vein with portal hypertension was evident. Mesenteric angiogram showed portal vein thrombosis and markedly tortuous splenic artery. Anti-nuclear antibodies and double-stranded DNA were negative. Ham test and urine for hemosiderin were negative. Clauss fibrinogen assay was normal. Hemoglobin high performance liquid chromatography for hemoglobin subtypes was normal. Anti-phospholipid antibodies were negative. JAK2 V617F mutation was not identified. Diagnosis of pre hepatic portal hypertension was made. Her upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was normal. Partial splenic artery coil embolization was done by interventional radiology team. Vaccines against capsulated organisms were given. Post-procedure contrast abdominal computed tomography revealed infarction of approximately 70% of the spleen and blood counts were improved. Index case is in the follow up for 3 years. She is on penicillin prophylaxis with regular blood count and annual upper gastrointestinal endoscopy monitoring.

Conclusions

Minimally invasive interventions such as partial splenic artery embolization should be considered in managing the patients with hypersplenism secondary to portal hypertension.

Formation of highly unique and complex facial structures is controlled by genetic programs that are responsible for the precise coordination of three-dimensional tissue morphogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms governing these processes remain poorly understood. We combined mouse genetic and genomic approaches to define the mechanisms underlying normal and defective midfacial morphogenesis. Conditional inactivation of the Wnt secretion protein Wls in Pax3-expressing lineage cells disrupted frontonasal primordial patterning, cell survival and directional outgrowth, resulting in altered facial structures, including midfacial hypoplasia and midline facial clefts. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed unique transcriptomic atlases of mesenchymal subpopulations in the midfacial primordia, which are disrupted in the conditional Wls mutants. Differentially expressed genes and cis-regulatory sequence analyses uncovered that Wls modulates and integrates a core gene regulatory network, consisting of key midfacial regulatory transcription factors (including Msx1, Pax3 and Pax7) and their downstream targets (including Wnt, Shh, Tgfβ and retinoic acid signaling components), in a mesenchymal subpopulation of the medial nasal prominences that is responsible for midline facial formation and fusion. These results reveal fundamental mechanisms underlying mammalian midfacial morphogenesis and related defects at single-cell resolution.
Bisphenol-A impairs synaptic formation and function by RGS4-mediated regulation of BDNF signaling in the cerebral cortex
Authors: Hyun Sung-Ae , Ko Moon Yi , Jang Sumi , Lee Byoung-Seok , Rho Jaerang , Kim Kee K. , Kim Woo-Yang , Ka Minhan
Published: July 2022

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a representative endocrine disruptor, widely used in a variety of products including plastics, medical equipment and receipts. Hence, most people are exposed to BPA via the skin, digestive system or inhalation in everyday life. Furthermore, BPA crosses the blood–brain barrier and is linked to multiple neurological dysfunctions found in neurodegenerative and neuropsychological disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying BPA-associated neurological dysfunctions remain poorly understood. Here, we report that BPA exposure alters synapse morphology and function in the cerebral cortex. Cortical pyramidal neurons treated with BPA showed reduced size and number of dendrites and spines. The density of excitatory synapses was also decreased by BPA treatment. More importantly, we found that BPA disrupted normal synaptic transmission and cognitive behavior. RGS4 and its downstream BDNF/NTRK2 pathway appeared to mediate the effect of BPA on synaptic and neurological function. Our findings provide molecular mechanistic insights into anatomical and physiological neurotoxic consequences related to a potent endocrine modifier.

Published: July 2022

An overcrowded 2,2-dihydrosilene bearing 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl (Tbt) and 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dip) groups was synthesized as a stable compound both in the solid state and in solution for a long period of time. The newly generated 2,2-dihydrosilene was obtained by exhaustive reduction of the corresponding dibromosilane, Tbt(Dip)SiBr2, with an excess amount of lithium naphthalenide at −78 °C followed by addition of CH2Cl2. The formation of 1 was confirmed by multinuclear NMR studies and extensive theoretical calculations.

Τα διπλά πολυμερικά δίκτυα αντιπροσωπεύουν μια αναδυόμενη κατηγορία υλικών με απόκριση που συνδυάζει διαφορετικές ιξωδοελαστικές ιδιότητες (λόγω τοπολογικών περιορισμών, αναστρεπτών-φυσικών και/ή μόνιμων δεσμών) ώστε να επιτευχθεί ευέλικτη απόδοση (λειτουργικότητα). Η γνώση της ρεολογίας τους και της σύνδεσή της με τη δομή είναι απαραίτητη για τη χρήση δικτύων διπλής δυναμικής (DDN) σε μεγάλο εύρος εφαρμογών. Συνεπώς, είναι επιθυμητό να αποκτήσουμε μια βαθιά κατανόηση της δυναμικής των DDN τόσο στη γραμμική όσο και στη μή-γραμμική περιοχή παραμόρφωσης, προκειμένου να χαρακτηρίσουμε τις αποκρίσεις τους σε πολλαπλές κλίμακες. Σε αυτή τη διατριβή παρουσιάζονται αυστηρές πειραματικές μελέτες της γραμμικής και μή-γραμμικής ρεολογίας δύο κατηγοριών DDNs. Περιλαμβάνουν (i) ένα καλά χαρακτηρισμένο πρότυπο σύστημα εμπνευσμένο από αλληλοδιεισδυόμενα δίκτυα, που περιλαμβάνει ένα μείγμα τηλεχηλικών πολυμερικών αστεριών και εμπλεκόμενων γραμμικών αλυσίδων, και (ii) ένα βιομηχανικό διπλό δίκτυο με μόνιμους και αναστρέψιμους σταυροδεσμούς. Συμπληρωματικές μετρήσεις σκέδασης ακτίνων Χ σε μικρές γωνίες και μοντελοποίηση βάσει του μοντέλου του σωλήνα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν επίσης σε συνδυασμό με τη ρεομετρία για την ταυτοποίηση του ρόλου διαφόρων μοριακών παραμέτρων, όπως η διάρκεια ζωής και η πυκνότητα των σταυροδεσμών, οι τοπολογικοί περιορισμοί, η πολυδιασπορά μοριακής μάζας και εξωτερικά ερεθίσματα όπως η θερμοκρασία και η συγκέντρωση, στην ιξωδοελαστική ανταπόκριση των δικτύων. Η συστηματική διερεύνηση που διεξήχθη οδήγησε σε γενικές παρατηρήσεις και οδηγίες για την ρύθμιση της ρεολογικής συμπεριφοράς των δικτύων πολλαπλής απόκρισης. Για την κατανόηση των αλλαγών διαμόρφωσης υπό την επίδραση ενός ισχυρού πεδίου διάτμησης, αναπτύχθηκε ένα πρωτόκολλο χρησιμοποιώντας ένα εμπλεγμένο δίκτυο πολυστυρενίου ως παράδειγμα. Πραγματοποιήθηκαν μετρήσεις σκέδασης νετρονίων μικρής γωνίας σε κατάλληλα προετοιμασμένα δείγματα με παγιδευμένη μορφολογία σε διαφορετικούς ρυθμούς διάτμησης και διαφορετικές συσσωρευμένες διατμήσεις. Οι μετρήσεις αυτές πραγματοποιήθηκαν ασύμφωνα (ex-situ), δηλαδή όχι επί τόπου αλλού σε χρόνο μεταγενέστερο του της διάτμησης. Τα αποτελέσματα συμβάλλουν στην κατανόηση της σχέσης μεταξύ ρεολογικών ιδιοτήτων και μοριακής παραμόρφωσης γραμμικών αλυσίδων και μπορεί να χρησιμεύσουν ως οδηγός για τη ρύθμιση της ρεολογικής απόκρισης των πολυμερικών δικτύων.

Στην παρούσα διατριβή, παρουσιάζεται μια διερεύνηση της Υπερσυμμετρίας σε συγκρούσεις πρωτονίων με ενέργεια κέντρου μάζας 13 TeV, χρησιμοποιώντας δεδομένα που καταγράφηκαν από το πείραμα CMS στο Run II του LHC και που αντιστοιχούν σε φωτεινότητα 138 fb−1. Η ανάλυση αναζητά ενδείξεις για την παραγωγή gluinos, που διασπώνται είτε σε ζεύγος top-antitop quarks και το ελαφρύτερο υπερσυμμετρικό σωματίδιο, το neutralino, είτε δύο ελαφρά quarks και ένα ενδιάμεσο chargino, το οποίο με τη σειρά του διασπάται σε ένα μποζόνιο W και ένα neutralino. Γεγονότα με ένα μόνο απομονωμένο ηλεκτρόνιο ή μιόνιο, συνοδευόμενο από αρκετούς αδρονικούς πίδακες υψηλής εγκάρσιας ορμής και υψηλή ελλείπουσα εγκάρσια ορμή. Ανάλογα με το κανάλι διάσπασης, απαιτούνται ή αποκλείονται γεγονότα με ταυτοποιημένο b-quark. Ο διαχωρισμός υποβάθρου και σήματος επιτυγχάνεται με χρήση κινηματικών μεταβλητών καθώς και με την εισαγωγή αλγορίθμων Μηχανικής Μάθησης για την ταυτοποίηση αδρονικών διασπάσεων top quarks και μποζόνιων W. Το υπόβαθρο από διαδικασίες του Καθιερωμένου Προτύπου εκτιμάται από τα δεδομένα μαζί με διορθώσεις από προσομοιώσεις Μonte Carlo. Καθώς δεν παρατηρείται στα δεδομένα στατιστικά σημαντική απόκλιση από τις εκτιμήσεις του υποβάθρου, υπολογίζονται όρια αποκλεισμού στις ενεργές διατομές για την παραγωγή και διάσπαση των gluinos, ως συνάρτηση των μαζών των glunio και neutralino. Ως αποτέλεσμα, αποκλείονται σε επίπεδο εμπιστοσύνης (confidence level) 95%, μάζες των gluino έως 2130 (2280) GeV και μάζες των neutralino έως 1270 (1220) GeV για τις διασπάσεις του gluino σε top quark (W boson). Η διατριβή παρουσιάζει επίσης δυο επιπρόσθετες εργασίες. Η πρώτη είναι μία εναλλακτική προσέγγιση της ανάλυσης βασισμένη σε Μηχανική Μάθηση (Machine Learning) και χρήση τεχνικών adversarial training για την εκτίμηση υποβάθρου. Η δεύτερη στη βελτιστοποίηση του σκανδαλιστή ηλεκτρονίων και φωτονίων πρώτου επιπέδου toυ CMS (Level-1 electron/photon Trigger) κατά τη διάρκεια της περιόδου Run II του LHC.

Published: July 2022

Background: This study was done to describe the pattern of personal protective equipment (PPE) use, associated factors, and adverse events among obstetricians and obstetric nurses in obstetrics & gynecology departments. 

Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in Obstetrics & Gynecology departments in three hospitals (physician & nurses n=252) using an online Google form including demographic and occupational health data, type of available personal protective equipment during usual care, CS and emergency labor, infection control measures and hazards of full PPE use.

Results Full PPE use was 37.7% during CS and 34.9% during emergency labor. The significant predictors of wearing full PPE during CS were daily work hours > 8 hours and receiving formal training about PPE use. During CS & emergency labor most of HCws used sterile gloves and sterile fluid resistant gowns and surgical mask.to less extent used face shields or tight fitting googles and one tenth (11.8%) only used N95. The most common health effects of full PPE use was sense of heat (79.5%).

Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic more vigorous respiratory (N95 mask) and eye protection is required during aerosol-generating procedures. Formal training is an evident predictor for full PPE use.
“Exclusivity” and quantifier float in bakari
Authors: Otsuka Takashi , Shirakawa Ryo , Hashimoto Osamu , Numata Yoshiko
Published: July 2022

This paper presents a descriptive study that analyzes the semantic meaning of toritate focus particle bakari. It has been pointed out that while bakari expresses exclusivity, it seemingly possesses the characteristic of allowing non-applicable cases. This phenomenon may be examined when one argues against the position that bakari expresses exclusivity. Contrary to this view, the current study shows that when bakari co-occurs with floating quantifiers, non-applicable cases cannot be included in the quantity of the item indicated by the quantifier in question, thereby arguing that the meaning of bakari should be taken as exclusivity. Based on the previous studies, we clarify the following two points. First, when bakari is used, apart from a pre-established objective set reflecting the world, a subjective set rooted in the speaker's experience is established, and when a floating quantifier co-occurs with bakari, the quantifier in question expresses the quantity of the subjective set. Second, toritate focus particle bakari represents exclusivity, and the non-applicable cases can exist only outside of the set that bakari is concerned with.

Complementary feeding with traditional and baby led weaning (BLW) methods - assessment of selected aspects of infant's diet
Authors: Białek-Dratwa Agnieszka , Michalak Alicja , Grot Martina , Krupa-Kotara Karolina
Published: July 2022

Background: Infant nutrition is a topic of constant debate between parents and doctors. The recommendations themselves have been modified several times over the past 6 decades. Baby Led Weaning (BLW) method is gaining more and more popularity in infant nutrition during the period of expanding the infant menu. The main aim of the study was to evaluate selected aspects of dietary expansion in a group of their children, taking into account dietary expansion with the use of the traditional method and the BLW method. Material and method: An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2021-January 2022 among a randomly selected sample of 523 mothers of children in infancy aged up to 12 months. Data for the study were collected anonymously using the CAWI method. The information collected from 500 women was considered for the final data analysis taking into account the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: 66.6% of the women surveyed (N=333) stated that their child is or was fed breast milk during the first six months. The child's diet was most often expanded with complementary meals after 6 months of age. This answer was indicated by 58.8% of respondents (N=294). 85.6% of the surveyed women (N=428) first introduced or intend to introduce vegetables to their diet. 13% of the respondents (N=65) introduced or planned to introduce vegetables and fruit at the same time. In the studied group of mothers the BLW method was not known or not used by 7 mothers (1.4%), 343 mothers used or intended to use the BLW method (68.6%), whereas 150 women knew the BLW method (30.0%), but did not use it or did not intend to use it during the expansion of their child's diet. Conclusions: The majority of mothers surveyed used the BLW method during the expansion of their children's diet, accepting the principle that it is the child who decides whether and how much to eat, and the parent who decides what and when the child eats.
THE CHALLENGES TO DEVELOPING SMART AGRICULTURAL VILLAGE IN THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0.
Authors: Tumiwa Johan Reineer , Tuegeh Octavia , Bittner Beata , Nagy Adrian
Published: July 2022

Nowadays, rural depopulation is one of the biggest problems in developed and developing countries, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic impacts various sectors, especially the economic sector. However, the development of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution forced all sectors, including agriculture, to adapt and take advantage of internet-based digital technology by developing smart agriculture. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the development of smart agriculture in rural areas. This study uses a systematic literature review with a TAA approach with secondary data collected from Scopus databases. The downloaded documents will be further analyzed using VOSviewer software to find the clustering. After the coding process by first-order categories, second layer theme, and aggregate dimension, this research found several theoretical concepts about the “Smart Village”. The definition of the ‘smart village’ concept is a combination of smart agriculture and industry 4.0 technology utilized by rural MSMEs to use the information and communication technology integrated into public services and economic activities. There are still many obstacles encountered in the application of ‘smart villages,’ such as the lack of youth participation and the low quality of human resources in the agricultural sector, limited internet network coverage, and the lack of optimal capital support. This research will contribute to the systematic literature review method by purposing filtering criteria of TAA to shade the light of the lack of data accuracy in several leading databases of scholarly impacts. This research also gives a clear direction for further research regarding industry 4.0 and Indonesia's smart agriculture concept application.

Authors: León Sáez de Ybarra Jose Luis
Published: July 2022

El hundimiento de paradigmas por la pandemia, también en conducta mercadológica, exige una respuesta adaptativa en profundidad de las marcas. Pero llegar a propuestas de adaptación exige una exploración conforme a la filosofía de conocimiento para la acción, siempre obligada en toda investigación de marketing-publicidad. Nuevos paradigmas deben hacer énfasis en la respuesta urgente dada la situación. Esto requiere construir una nueva estrategia de extracción de contenido, aplicada sobre el triángulo formado por marcas, publicidad y nuevos medios. Se propone una nueva estrategia metodológica para superar la lógica insuficiencia del corpus documental existente, capaz de integrar información en formatos de alta diversidad (por ejemplo, testimonios de expertos y encuestas a profesionales), desde una cuidada selección de publicaciones, creando un metacorpus exploratorio, pero de alta cualificación objetiva. Con la estrategia propuesta, creemos haber conseguido verificar el estado de situación y a la vez ofrecer orientación para las marcas y su publicidad, forzadas por las tendencias mercadológicas y los nuevos medios, ya existentes antes de la pandemia, pero ahora aceleradas. Se resaltan filosofías de branding y publicidad para un relanzamiento y cómo hay que cambiar la medición automatizada de resultados ante el fin a plazo de las cookies.

Published: July 2022

The aim was to identify the main geospatial indicators used in bikeability index through constructive methodological studies. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO under the registration number CRD42020166795, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guide. Original studies indexed in the electronic databases Lilacs, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, Trid, and Web of Science were selected. The review also included grey literature through Google Scholar, OpenGrey, ProQuest, and a list of references and documents pointed out by experts. After removing duplicates and analyzing titles and abstracts, the review considered only 11 out of the 703 initial papers, which provided 100 environment indicators with varied definitions and metrics for estimating the Bikeability index. The census tract was the most used unit of the analysis found in the papers, which used GIS (Geographic Information System) data besides self-reported information on environmental characteristics. The results indicate that the most usual indicators relate to infrastructure – existence and width of bike lanes – destination, slope, speed limit, and connectivity and intersections. The creation and maintenance of bicycle-friendly environments could consider the implementation of more infrastructure on flat and connected streets with changes in speed limits in neighborhoods, especially in regions with low density of intersections, to decrease accidents and increase cyclists’ perception of safety.

It is necessary to understand the microbial interactions with this plant to study the effect of its medicinal quality. In the present study, high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the diversity of endophytic bacteria on leaves, branches and fruits of C. grandis cv. Tomentosa. This study obtained a total of 607,952 high-quality sequence fragments of the V3-V4 region from nine samples that belonged to three groups, and 382 operational taxonomic units. The diversity of endophytic bacteria is high while occurrence was different in fruits, branches and leaves. There were 191 OTUs in the three groups. Candidatus Liberibacter was the most abundant class in branches and fruits, while the dominant population of leaves was Massilia. The 16S rRNA function prediction was taken to understand the function of C. grandis cv. Tomentosa. All results not only have reference signifi cance for the functional study of endophytic fungi and the utilization of endophytic fungi, but also have reference signifi cance for the biological control of plant diseases on C. grandis cv. Tomentosa.

O processo de parto e nascimento é um momento significativo na vida das mulheres. É de fundamental importância a realização de pesquisas sobre qualidade da atenção obstétrica nos serviços públicos de saúde. OBJETIVO: avaliar a satisfação de mulheres com a assistência recebida no processo do parto e puerpério hospitalar. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: estudo de corte transversal e delineamento quantitativo, realizado com 55 puérperas em uma maternidade pública, no município de João Pessoa/PB. A coleta de dados foi realizada com instrumento constituído por perguntas pré-codificadas que avaliam as práticas assistências e opinião da mulher sobre a assistência recebida. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva e inferencial, considerando nível de significância o valor de 5% (p-valor<0,05). RESULTADOS: a satisfação foi mais frequente entre as mulheres com ensino médio completo, que tiveram acompanhante, alimentação, técnicas de alívio da dor, privacidade e ambiência adequada, as que amamentaram, tiveram contato pela a pele e receberam informações quanto aos procedimentos do parto normal. CONCLUSÃO: busca-se uma assistência ao parto de qualidade, em que a mulher tenha a sensação de pertencimento do seu corpo e que os cuidados recebidos pelos profissionais de saúde sejam baseados em boas evidências científicas visando o bem-estar da mulher, do bebê e da família. As boas práticas obstétricas podem favorecer a satisfação das mulheres, enquanto intervenções rotineiras sem respaldo científico podem contribuir para a insatisfação da assistência recebida no processo do parto e puerpério hospitalar.

A realização periódica do exame de Papanicolaou é o método convencional no Brasil para o rastreio do Câncer do Colo do Útero (CCU). As estratégias de serviço e os recursos materiais nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) são aspectos fundamentais que refletem na qualidade do programa de rastreamento. Objetivo: Analisar quatro UBS do município de Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais e verificar o contexto local de rastreio do CCU. Métodos: Foi realizado estudo qualitativo, baseado em entrevistas semiestruturadas com enfermeiros e agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS) das UBS selecionadas. Resultados: Observou-se que apenas uma UBS apresentava planta física e recursos materiais adequados à realização do exame. Em geral, as ACS realizavam busca ativa não sistematizada das pacientes para realização do exame de Papanicolaou. A conduta para informar os resultados alterados às pacientes era semelhante entre as UBS, porém, não havia padronização para realizar o seguimento dos casos alterados. Além disso, as atividades educativas eram escassas para a comunidade e para a equipe de trabalho. Conclusão: Percebe-se que uma estrutura física de qualidade associada a uma equipe de saúde da família (ESF) treinada favorece o estabelecimento de programas de rastreio exitosos. Por não se tratar de uma realidade de todas as UBS locais, é necessário organizar as estratégias de busca ativa, registro e acompanhamento das pacientes, sendo os ACS e enfermeiros fundamentais neste processo. A desigualdade de recursos entre as UBS aponta para possibilidade de ineficiência do programa de rastreio do CCU, o que deve ser avaliado pelas autoridades locais.

The Universitat de Barcelona research group in teaching innovation GIDTAAVE organized the 2nd International Conference in Experiences in Active Learning in Higher Education, which was held online on 5 November, 2021. The aim of the conference was to provide a forum for high-quality research in teaching innovation in higher education, focusing on active learning methodologies. The event provided an excellent opportunity for lecturers from different universities to discuss their work in a relaxed atmosphere and to develop long-term collaborative relationships. Specifically, twelve papers were presented by authors from different Spanish Universities (Universidad de Salamanca, Universidad de Cantabria, Universidad de Navarra, Universidad Juan Carlos I and Universidad Carlos III, to name a few), who had the opportunity to share their experiences with other colleagues. Each session was followed by fruitful discussions among the participants. The keynote speech of the conference was given by Steven Proud, who is currently the Director of Undergraduate Studies and a Reader in Economics Education in the School of Economics at the University of Bristol. Steven Proud gave a very interesting talk entitled “What are the barriers to active learning in economics?”.
Huida, cimarronaje y santuario: genealogías críticas para deseurocentrar la historia del refugio en el Atlántico Negro
Authors: Picozza Fiorenza
Published: July 2022

Este artículo traza una genealogía de la migración forzada y de las prácticas de santuario, partiendo de la experiencia colonial del cimarronaje en las Américas y el Caribe, la cual abarcó casi cuatro siglos de resistencia a la institución de la esclavitud. A través de una revisión de literatura histórica, arqueológica y antropológica sobre rutas de huida y asentamientos cimarrones, por un lado, y de literatura etnográfica y periodística sobre tránsitos, campamentos y protestas migrantes, por el otro, el artículo destaca distintas resonancias entre los dos fenómenos, relativas a la producción de espacios autónomos, subjetividades racializadas, geografías legales y disputas jurídicas. El cimarronaje se presenta como referencia alternativa e innovadora para des-eurocentrar la historia del refugio y abrir la imaginación antropológica, en particular repensando la cuestión del santuario lejos del Estado, y centrándose, en cambio, en las prácticas de solidaridad con y entre migrantes que huyen de opresiones políticas, económicas y sociales.
Conflictos socioambientales en torno al turismo del tiburón ballena en la Bahía de la Paz, Baja California Sur, México
Authors: Gómez Pech Enrique Humberto , García Silberman Ana , Barrasa García Sara
Published: July 2022

Desde el marco de la ecología política se analizan conflictos socioambientales producidos por el desarrollo del mercado turístico de avistamiento y nado con el tiburón ballena en la Bahía de La Paz. Se trata de entender un proceso de despojo legitimado dentro de un marco legal que beneficia a ciertos actores y vulnera a otros, así como analizar los mecanismos de resistencia oculta de pescadores ribereños frente a este proceso. La existencia de un plan de manejo vigente ha sido un detonante que legitima el despojo por la restricción de acceso a un espacio de uso común, afectando la pesca ribereña y al esparcimiento de habitantes locales; y lejos de ayudar a mejorar las condiciones ecológicas y de conservación del tiburón, este ha sido un instrumento que beneficia al sector turístico al construir un espacio exclusivo para su efectiva operación, a costa de impactos negativos directos hacia esta especie.
Clasificación ambiental y ordenación del territorio en Asturias, como región del Canto Noroeste Peninsular
Authors: RODRIGUEZ GUTIERREZ FERMIN , Menéndez Fernández Rafael , Ruiz Fernández Jesús
Published: July 2022

El Canto Noroeste Peninsular se proyecta como una región europea con dificultades para su inserción en los ejes de integración global. Situación que se concreta en el estancamiento de sus áreas urbanas y en la contracción de su territorio rural, en particular su extenso ámbito montañoso. Las políticas de la administración en dicho ámbito territorial han actuado declarándolo espacio clasificado y, a continuación, generado una normativa protectora del medio “natural” que toma la parte por el todo, olvida el carácter cultural del paisaje rural y la importancia del patrimonio vinculado, para a continuación actuar como política de ordenación del territorio. La impertinencia de este enfoque se visualiza en la montaña asturleonesa, donde se acentúan sus contradicciones
Work from home: bane or blessing? Implications for corporate real estate strategies
Authors: Höcker Martin Christian , Bachtal Yassien , Pfnür Andreas
Published: July 2022

Technological progress and developments in the economy and society are constantly changing the way we work. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating the move towards multilocal working: knowledge workers worldwide have been forced to gain experience of working from home. Based on this experience, they are now in a position to weigh up different places of work and articulate desires for the distribution of working time between home workplace, third places and office.

Previous studies have shown that working from home can have positive effects for corporates in the form of productivity increases. However, it has so far remained open which employees exactly are successful at different workplaces. The aim of the study is to identify clusters with their own workplace distribution based on personal, work-related and real estate characteristics, and to investigate whether the desire for specific workplace distribution promises success.

Identification of the subgroups is done by conducting a hierarchical cluster analysis that includes previously identified personal, work-related and real estate characteristics. The evaluation and interpretation of the cluster solution is based on the desired workplace distribution and identified work success variables. Data from a survey of 2000 German and US knowledge workers is taken into account.

The results of the survey suggest that knowledge workers in Germany and the US have developed a good sense of the workplace in which they can work successfully. At the same time, the decision-makers in the corporates have to decide carefully who should work at which workplace with a view to the corporate’s success. It is also clear that as work becomes more multilocational, real estate resources must play an important role in creating a corporate culture and identity.
Shared space and between space: Considering Jewishness and race through interspecies dancing1
Authors: Konner Sarah
Published: July 2022

This autoethnographic text describes a dance and personal historical research process during COVID-19 quarantine and Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. As implications of a changing planet and unequal cross-cultural impacts and responsibilities become ever more clear, this research explores assimilation into Whiteness in Ashkenazi Jewish American lineage and how that relates to interspecies dancing. What is lost in this story of assimilation? What might interspecies collaborations teach us about relating cross-culturally? Whiteness and Jewishness are considered through histories of speaking and losing Yiddish and the role of Jewish dancers in early modern dance in New York. Interviews about Yiddish and assimilation are in dialogue with an improvisational dance practice with a border collie dog (whose ancestors helped colonize the United States). This interspecies movement practice and others (including complex evolutionary histories) connect to biologist Donna Haraway and anthropologist Anna Tsing for insights about collaboration across differences. In thematically bringing Jewishness into performance practice, this research unravels layers of resistance, privilege and present racial inequities. The text looks to Audre Lorde and civil rights activist Eric K. Ward for coalition building practices: finding connection and finding ourselves are to be changed by our encounters without losing ourselves in the process.
Relational Data Model on The University Website with Search Engine Optimization
Authors: Alifi Muhammad Riza , Hayati Hashri , Wonoseto Muhammad Galih
Published: July 2022

The visibility of a university’s website on the search engine becomes an essential factor to reach a wider audience. One way to improve the visibility of a website is through Search Engine Optimization (SEO). University’s website development with SEO is inseparable from the data model because SEO supporting factors are parts of the consideration in the components and structure of the data model. This study aims to build a data model for a university website accompanied by SEO. The relational data model is used in this study based on the performance and maturity in defining schema-based design. This study was conducted through four sequential stages: literature review, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The resulting relational data model is one that has accommodated four supporting factors for SEO, namely Meta description, Meta keywords, URL structure, and image description. This study has succeeded in building a relational data model at the abstraction level of conceptual and logical.  In the conceptual data model, one entity and 11 attributes are formed. The logical data model was implemented in independent work environments using RelaX and operational requirements can be fulfilled by representing each table or relationship in the schema using relational algebra.
