Background: To analyze the clinical and radiological effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the prognosis of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), and explore the prognostic value of OF classification.
Methods: OVCF patients who received PVP from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2021 were divided into T2DM group and control group. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), bone cement leakage, new OVCF, anterior, middle, and posterior portion heights (APH, MPH and PPH) of vertebral body and local cobb angle (LCA) on X-ray before surgery, 2 days after surgery, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery were recorded and the OF classification was performed.
Results: A total of 261 vertebral bodies were included, containing 68 in the T2DM group and 193 in the control group. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. At 6 months after PVP, the LCA of the T2DM group was 8.29±4.90° greater than that of the control group 6.05±5.18° (P=0.002). At 12 months, the APH recovered 8.13±12.90%, which was less than 12.51±14.92% of the control group (P=0.032), and 19.07±16.47% of the MPH recovery was less than the control group’s 24.63±17.67% (P=0.024). Compared with the control group, OF 2 vertebral bodies of the T2DM group at 12 months postoperatively in MPH (14.82±14.71% vs 24.78±18.16%, P=0.023) and LCA (5.65±4.06° vs 3.26±4.86°, P=0.043) restored significantly worse. Besides, OF 3 restored worse in APH, MPH and LCA at 12 months postoperatively (APH: 5.40±11.02% VS 13.57±12.79%, P=0.008; MPH: 11.22±15.53% VS 17.84±12.36%, P=0.041; LCA: 10.85±3.79°VS 7.97±3.83°, P=0.002). There was no difference in radiological outcomes of OF 4 between the two groups.
Conclusions: The degree of fractured vertebral compression, the recovery of the height and angle obtained immediately after surgery and the clinical symptoms in T2DM patients were not different from those in the control. However, vertebral body morphology of T2DM patients was worse since the sixth month after surgery. OF classification has a good prognostic reference value for both the control and the T2DM population.
A significant difference in the brainwave activity of mediums during mediumship and imagination
Authors: Davies Elizabeth , Pettitt Nick
Published: November 2022

Context

A medium, in the context of these experiments, is a person who receives and transmits information from a hypothesised dead person or spiritual being. During the early stages of mediumship development, mediums often experience difficulty in trusting their true perceptions, believing these to be their imagination. It is important to determine if there is any signatory difference in the brain between the two active states of mediumship and imagination.

Objective

These experiments test the hypothesis that there is a measurable difference in the brainwave activity of mediumship and imagination.

Participants

The two medium participants were male and female. They were also the experimenters. The female,(F). aged 73, participated as medium in 33 separate sessions. The male,(M), aged 60, participated as medium in 13 separate sessions. The participants were unrelated and lived in different neighbourhoods, but had been practising mediumship development together for five years. The sessions took place in their normal practice environment.

Methods

There were 3 sets of experiments, each set involving a different form of mediumship. In each experiment there was electroencephalographic continuous recording, with simultaneous audio recording of the medium, during 30 minutes’ mediumship activity, either followed by, or preceded by, 30 minutes’ imagination/fabrication activity. The data collected was monitored for frequency spectral characteristics and analysed for each cerebral hemisphere. The audio recordings were transcribed and analysed for word count.

Results

Each of the three experiments showed a significant decrease in the ratio of mean delta to gamma waveband amplitudes, for both cerebral hemispheres, in mediumship when compared with imagination.

Conclusion

Both mediums showed a consistent significant difference in the delta/gamma ratio in mediumship from that shown in imagination. This supports the hypothesis that there is a difference in the brainwave activity in mediumship as demonstrated in these experiments, from that shown in imagination.
How working from home affected the social networks and satisfaction of migrant populations during COVID-19
Authors: Wanner Philippe , Ruedin Didier , Rodriguez Roberto Desponds
Published: November 2022

Objective
We examine how the requirement to work from home during COVID-19 affected the social integration of immigrants.
Methods
Using a representative panel of 7,400 immigrants to Switzerland, we run ordered logistic regression models to test how a change in job status and the obligation to work from home is reflected in a range of social integration and well-being indicators.
Results
Switching to working from home during the semi-lockdown period is associated with increased difficulties in communicating with the local population, adapting to the Swiss way of life, and making friends. It is also associated with increased dissatisfaction with social relationships but does not lead to a more negative evaluation of the stay in Switzerland.
Conclusion
We conclude that work is a place of socialization for migrant populations, and therefore, it is important to consider the negative impact of a forced shift to telework on the integration of these populations.
Assessment of parent’s awareness about sight-threating Eye diseases in children in Damascus Hospital
Authors: Al-Mamar Khaled , Othman Noureddine , Salman Afraa , Al-Manasfi Anas
Published: November 2022

Background:
Eye diseases are among the common health problems that a person may be exposed to and are of particular importance in childhood. These diseases range from simple health problems that go away without the need for medical treatment, and health problems that require medical intervention to treat them. Care must be taken to periodically review the ophthalmologist. To conduct the necessary examinations, avoid the development of eye diseases as much as possible, and reduce the chance of complications that may accompany it, including loss of vision, and common diseases that may affect the eye, we mention the following: congenital glaucoma, refraction, strabismus, congenital cataract, amblyopia (lazy eye Retinopathy of preterm infants.
Design:
A cross-sectional study was conducted using the questionnaire tool, targeting the parents who attended Damascus Hospital, the eye clinics within the hospital, and the Al-Mujtahid department, the first aid and care department.
Methods:
The questionnaires used were randomly distributed to 518 participants to form the total sample studied.
Results:
In our study, we focused on the demographic aspects related to the sample members at the beginning, which will form the first and main party in the various relationships and associations studied in the context of our research, as they carry an important value and constitute a basic indicator that reflects the groups that have the greatest or least amount of knowledge about eye diseases that threaten sight in children, Among the 518 participants, females were more than half of the sample with a percentage of 59.7%, while males were 40.3%, and most of them were in the age group of 30–40 years with a percentage of 44.4%, and most of them were married at a rate of 84.7%, and the educational level was somewhat similar, between intermediate and secondary education As for the nature of the participants’ work, housewives had the largest percentage, reaching 37.3%, and 72% of the participants had one to three children.
Anti-persistent adherence dynamic of the COVID-19 vaccines
Authors: Fernandes Leonardo H S , Silva Maria A R , de Araujo Fernando Henrique Antunes
Published: November 2022

This research explores the multifractal dynamics of time series of the daily number of vaccinees for COVID-19, considering six European countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece and Italy) using the Multifractal Detrended Fluctuations Analysis (MFDFA). We calculate the multifractal spectrum 𝑓(𝛼) and apply a fourth-degree polynomial regression fit to estimate the complexity parameters that describe the degree of multifractality of the underlying process. We found that the multifractal dynamics of all these countries are characterized by strongly anti-persistent behavior or long-term anti-persistent correlations (𝛼0 < 0.5) a lower degree of multifractality, and small fluctuations are dominant in the multifractal spectrum. From an immunization perspective, it means that a panorama that encompasses the population’s behaviour is marked by the dynamics of anti-persistent adherence to COVID-19 vaccines. Our findings confirm that the period of immunization of the population that adhered to the vaccination campaigns is short and that the application of new doses of vaccines must obey this phenomenology to keep people safe. In addition, we used the multifractal efficiency coefficient to rank countries that are most proactive in developing campaigns that promote greater adherence and loyalty to COVID-19 vaccines. Our findings indicate that Germany, Belgium and France were more efficient than Greece, Denmark and Italy

Published: November 2022

The study of rainfall trends is critically important for Bangladesh whose food security and
economy are dependent on the timely availability of water. Trends in monthly, seasonal, and annual rainfall on the 08 (eight) divisions as well as all Bangladesh were examined in this study using a monthly data series of 40 years (1981–2020). Most of the divisions showed decreasing trend in monsoon seasonal rainfall but for only three divisions namely Dhaka, Rajshahi and Rangpur were statistically significant out of eight divisions except in Chattogram division, whereas rainfall trend showed positive but not statistically significant. On an annual scale, all divisions also showed a decreasing trend with insignificant exceptions in Dhaka and Rajshahi divisions, which showed a statistically significant trend. For all Bangladesh, no significant trend was detected for seasonal rainfall. Annual, pre-monsoon, monsoon and winter rainfall showed decreasing trend, while post-monsoon rainfall showed increasing trend at the national scale but was not significant. Only annual rainfall was detected as a statistically significant decreasing trend for all Bangladesh.

Authors: Fatima Soares Garcia Beatriz , Corrêa Santos Brenda , Takahama Junior Ademar
Published: November 2022

Introdução: Recentemente, novas formas de consumo do tabaco têm se tornado cada vez mais populares, principalmente entre os jovens, como os cigarros eletrônicos, narguilé e hábito de mascar o tabaco, sendo vistas como meras diversões inofensivas. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre as formas alternativas de consumo de tabaco e sua relação com saúde bucal. Materiais e métodos: Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico, nas bases de dados PubMed, Periódicos CAPES e Scielo, por meio dos termos em “cigarro eletrônico (E-cigarette); narguilé (Waterpipe smoking); fumo de mascar (Chewing tobacco)”, selecionando artigos que evidenciavam as características dessas formas alternativas de consumo de tabaco e suas repercussões orais. Resultados: A popularização das formas alternativas de fumo entre os jovens deve-se principalmente a introdução de aromas e sabores ao tabaco, assim como estratégias de marketing e a concepção errada no que diz respeito a não ser prejudicial. Vários estudos têm demonstrado os efeitos deletérios à saúde, e alguns outros relatam a possível associação com alterações na cavidade bucal. Conclusão: Os cigarros eletrônicos, narguilé e hábito de mascar o tabaco, são formas alternativas de fumo com risco subestimado pelos seus usuários, apresentando diversas repercussões orais precoces, incluindo lesões potencialmente e malignas. Tal tema, deve ser considerado um problema de saúde pública, e estratégias de prevenção dirigidas aos jovens devem ser implementadas, assim como a conscientização por parte dos dentistas aos seus pacientes, a fim de reduzir o aumento dessa nova geração de fumantes.

Published: November 2022

A mandíbula é uma das regiões faciais mais acometidas por traumas, em razão de sua situação de proeminência no terço inferior da face, com aumento relevante de casos nos últimos anos. O tratamento para as fraturas visa restaurar a função, anatomia e estética pré-trauma. O tratamento das fraturas de face pode ser realizado por intermédio das técnicas conservadoras ou cirúrgicas. Dessa maneira, o método de tratamento deve ser escolhido após avaliação minuciosa das características clínicas da fratura. O presente artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar um caso clínico de fratura de parassínfise, cabeça da mandíbula e processo coronoide, de um paciente do gênero masculino, com 23 anos, vítima de acidente motociclístico, admitido no Serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial do Hospital Universitário da UFMS. No exame clínico, esse paciente apresentou queixas álgicas, degrau em região de parassínfise direita e côndilo mandibular esquerdo e alteração oclusal com mordida aberta anterior. No exame tomográfico, observou-se fratura de parassínfise direita, cabeça da mandíbula esquerda e processo coronoide ipsilateral. Após o diagnóstico, o tratamento consistiu em tratamento conservador da cabeça da mandíbula com instalação de barra de Erich, associado à redução e fixação de parassínfise e processo coronoide, e bloqueio maxilomandibular, sob anestesia geral, para promover a estabilização oclusal. O paciente permaneceu em bloqueio maxilomandibular por 45 dias. Dessa maneira, a associação entre a abordagem cirúrgica e o tratamento conservador com barra de Erich e bloqueio maxilomandibular possibilitou o restabelecimento da função dos movimentos mandibulares e da estética facial bem como a oclusão satisfatória.
Carya Species for Use in the Managed Landscape: Predicted Drought Tolerance
Authors: Miller Brandon , Bassuk Nina
Published: November 2022

Impressive ornamental features including exfoliating bark and golden fall color are among the reasons why hickories [Carya (Nutt.)] are sought after by horticulturists. Their potential for application in the green industry continues to grow as producers and consumers in the United States become more interested in adopting native plants; however, an absence of knowledge that defines which species are tolerant of abiotic stresses in the landscape limits their use. If production of stress-tolerant hickories increases, they could be used to diversify urban forests and may bolster the resiliency of managed landscapes. We examined the predicted leaf water potential at the turgor loss point to estimate drought tolerance among several species of hickories and pecans adapted to growing in northern climates in the United States. Our hypotheses were that because some bottomland habitats experience seasonal drought in addition to flooding, taxa adapted to these sites may be more drought tolerant than previously assumed, and that the degree of drought tolerance would be variable within species and populations. Predicted mean leaf turgor loss measured in summer across species was −3.38 MPa. Kingnut hickory [Carya laciniosa (F. Michx.) Loud.] exhibited the lowest mean summer leaf turgor loss point −3.64 MPa), whereas pignut hickory [Carya glabra (Mill.) Sweet.] exhibited the highest (−3.20 MPa). Provenance of trees studied influenced estimated drought tolerance of C. laciniosa. Variability between individual trees within each species was observed, suggesting clonal selections of each taxon can be made for drought-prone landscapes. The results of this work imply that all the species studied are at least moderately drought tolerant and should be considered for planting in managed landscapes. Further, species often associated with riparian habitats may exhibit substantial tolerance to drought and should not be excluded from use on drought-prone sites.
Effect of the Growing Season, Trichoderma, and Clinoptilolite Application on Potentially Toxic Elements Uptake by Cucumis melo L.
Authors: Brecchia Matteo , Buscaroli Enrico , Mazzon Martina , Blasioli Sonia , Braschi Ilaria
Published: November 2022

The extent to which different agricultural strategies may affect the uptake of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) by cropped plants is not entirely understood at a field scale. This study addresses the effect of seasonality, Trichoderma inoculation alone, or combined with different applications of commercial-grade clinoptilolite (i.e., foliar action, fertigation, and pellet) on the PTE content of early- and late-ripening cultivars of Cucumis melo L. Two similar field experiments were performed in spring and summer. For each cultivar/treatment combination, the input of PTEs [namely, chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb)] into the soil-crop system through irrigation water, fertilizers, pesticides, and treatment products (i.e., Trichoderma and clinoptilolite products), as well as the PTE content of melon stem, leaves, and fruit, were measured through inductively coupled plasma-optic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Neither Trichoderma alone nor with clinoptilolite had a visible effect on PTE uptake by plants, whereas early season cultivation was strongly associated with reduced uptake of Cu and Pb. The high correlation of Cu and Pb content with stem and leaf calcium (Ca) content (used as a proxy for different transpiration rates under different growing seasons) indicated a possible uptake of these metals through Ca nonselective cation channels as a defense against drought stress. Reduced Cu and Pb concentrations were found in early-ripening fruit cultivated in spring. Concerning Cu and Pb risk management, in case of significant contamination in Mediterranean calcareous soils, early-ripening Cucumis melo L. cultivars are suggested instead of late-ripening ones.

Published: November 2022

Comparing to the former regulations, the methods of combating infectious animal diseases established in the Animal Health Law has undergone significant changes in many aspects, including the categorization of diseases, and the need to apply the provisions of this regulation directly may raise doubts both as to their interpretation and to the conduct of the authorities responsible for this area. In particular, this applies to domestic activities and the scope of competences of poviat veterinarians. An additional aspect that hinders the transparency of the application of the Animal Health Law is the principle of delegation of powers to the European Commission to issue delegated and implementing acts that supplement, specify or amend them. Therefore, we are dealing with the need to efficiently navigate the area of many new legal acts, the overall operational knowledge of which becomes indispensable, especially for employees and bodies of the Veterinary Inspectionin Poland.

Published: November 2022

Mandibular fractures are the most common among all skull fractures. Most of them are the result of blunt trauma resulting from hitting an obstacle, kicking by another horse, or falling after a jump. The majority of fractures are open and infected. Some of them are complicated, involving the molar or premolar teeth. Treatment of such fractures is challenging because results depend on stable bony union and functional integrity of the occlusal surface. Osteosyntheses were performed under general anesthesia. Complications included infection around one implant close to the fracture line and fistulation in case 2 created by a fractured tooth which had to be extracted. In spite of the mentioned problems, good results were achieved in both cases. Stabilization of unilateral mandibular fractures with our own design fixator which is minimally invasive and provides sufficient fixation to obtain good results. The use of the fixator has proved to be beneficial and has a number of advantages in the treatment of this kind of fracture.
Assessment of trace elements in canned fish and health risk appraisal
Authors: Islam Md Saiful , Mustafa Ramal Ahmed
Published: November 2022

Trace elements are dangerous to human health and there is a rising concern about the quality of processed foods in some parts of the world, especially in Iraq.

The chemical composition (total sold, moisture, and ash) and concentrations of trace elements in canned fish (Skipjack tuna, Sardines, Tuna fish, Sardines, and Mackerel) from the Kalar market, Iraq were determined by using an inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer.

The ranges obtained for the elements in mg/kg were as follows: Se (0.025–0.77), As (0.02–1.07), B (0.05–0.7), Ag (0.04–0.83), Ba (0.05–0.975), Mg (29.8–37.5), Mn (0.97–2.09), Cu (0.91–3.09), and Zn (5.12–11.7). The studied canned fishes pose no risk with respect to the estimated daily intake of Se, As, B, Ag, Ba, Mg, Mn, Cu, and Zn. The total target hazard quotients for the studied metals from individual fish species (except Fme, Fma, and Fsh) were more than one, which was responsible for noncarcinogenic risks. The target carcinogenic risk value for arsenic was also higher than the standard (10-4) set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

It revealed that the consumption of canned fish causes a chronic cancer risk to humans.
"Let's Live Life - Let's Give Life”: Donor Program Improvement as the Key to Transplantation Success in 21st Century - A Croatian Experience
Authors: Tomulic Brusich Katarina
Published: November 2022

Transplantation is a widely accepted and successful life-saving treatment for hundreds of thousands of patients. However, transplant medicine still faces a number of obstacles. One of the most significant is the large disparity between the number of donors and recipients and the growing need for re-transplantation. In the last two decades, the improvement and organization of the national transplantation program in Croatia have resulted in a steadily increasing donor rate and therefore the transplantation numbers. As the key points of the donor program's success, I would single out the appointment of hospital and national transplant coordinators, the financial reimbursement model for additional medical staff engaged with the donors, the adoption of new legislation, public awareness campaigns and international cooperation with Eurotransplant.
Twitter Trends for Celiac Disease and the Gluten-Free Diet: Cross-sectional Descriptive Analysis
Authors: Germone Monique , Wright Casey D , Kimmons Royce , Coburn Shayna Skelley
Published: November 2022

Background

Few studies have systematically analyzed information regarding chronic medical conditions and available treatments on social media. Celiac disease (CD) is an exemplar of the need to investigate web-based educational sources. CD is an autoimmune condition wherein the ingestion of gluten causes intestinal damage and, if left untreated by a strict gluten-free diet (GFD), can result in significant nutritional deficiencies leading to cancer, bone disease, and death. Adherence to the GFD can be difficult owing to cost and negative stigma, including misinformation about what gluten is and who should avoid it. Given the significant impact that negative stigma and common misunderstandings have on the treatment of CD, this condition was chosen to systematically investigate the scope and nature of sources and information distributed through social media.

Objective

To address concerns related to educational social media sources, this study explored trends on the social media platform Twitter about CD and the GFD to identify primary influencers and the type of information disseminated by these influencers.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used data mining to collect tweets and users who used the hashtags #celiac and #glutenfree from an 8-month time frame. Tweets were then analyzed to describe who is disseminating information via this platform and the content, source, and frequency of such information.

Results

More content was posted for #glutenfree (1501.8 tweets per day) than for #celiac (69 tweets per day). A substantial proportion of the content was produced by a small percentage of contributors (ie, “Superuser”), who could be categorized as self-promotors (eg, bloggers, writers, authors; 13.9% of #glutenfree tweets and 22.7% of #celiac tweets), self-identified female family members (eg, mother; 4.3% of #glutenfree tweets and 8% of #celiac tweets), or commercial entities (eg, restaurants and bakeries). On the other hand, relatively few self-identified scientific, nonprofit, and medical provider users made substantial contributions on Twitter related to the GFD or CD (1% of #glutenfree tweets and 3.1% of #celiac tweets, respectively).

Conclusions

Most material on Twitter was provided by self-promoters, commercial entities, or self-identified female family members, which may not have been supported by current medical and scientific practices. Researchers and medical providers could potentially benefit from contributing more to this space to enhance the web-based resources for patients and families.
Disentangling text from image effects in #bopo and #fitspo media: An experimental study (Preprint)
Authors: Berry Tanya , Locke Sean , Ori Elaine
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Fitspiration is online content that shows idealized bodies as desirable and achievable through exercise, accompanied by text that often implies that exercise is hard work but needed to achieve an appearance ideal. In contrast, the bopo social media trend is related to body positivity and was created in part as a reaction to the limited representations of beauty portrayed by fitspiration. There are questions regarding the mechanisms through which fitspiration or bopo may influence consumers. It is also possible that the images and text contained in these social may have different effects. Therefore, this research was designed to investigate both fitspiration and bopo images and text. Also, because the purported purpose of fitspiration and some bopo are to inspire people to exercise, this research investigated their effects on intentions to exercise.

OBJECTIVE

This research tested the effects of fitspiration images, fitspiration text, fitspiration images with text, bopo images, bopo text, and bopo images with text on implicit body image, explicit attitudes, and believability, and examined relationships to exercise intentions. Fitspiration-related cognitive errors were examined as a possible moderator of the relationships.

METHODS

Women aged 18 – 30 years (N = 460) completed a questionnaire measure of fitspiration-related cognitive errors and then viewed condition-specific stimuli, and rated them on likeability (explicit attitudes). After viewing the stimuli, participants completed measures of implicit body image, believability, intentions, and demographics.

RESULTS

The fitspiration images with text were rated lower on explicit attitudes and believability compared to every other condition, all ps < .001; Cohen’s d range: .69 - 1.55. The bopo images were rated as more believable than stimuli from every other condition all ps < .001; Cohen’s d range: .66 - 1.55. Participants with low (effect = -.28 [SE = .13], lower level confidence interval = -.56, upper level confidence interval = -.04) and mean levels of ) fitspiration-related cognitive errors (effect = -.18 [SE = .09], lower level confidence interval = -.38, upper level confidence interval = -.02, who reported disliking the fitspiration images with text, had greater intention to exercise. Conversely, participants with the lowest fitspiration-related cognitive errors who reported liking the bopo images more, reported greater intention to exercise, (effect = .15 [SE = .08], lower level confidence interval = .02, upper level confidence interval = .33).

CONCLUSIONS

Interventions to reduce the negative impacts of Fitspiration among women prone to making fitspiration-related cognitive errors are needed. By contrast, the bopo images alone were the most positively received, thus supporting previous research indicating that the text included in bopo may still have negative effects.

Association of pediatric COVID-19 vaccination and socioeconomic disparities: a large cohort study from the Pedianet Veneto registry (Preprint)
Authors: Batzella Erich , Cantarutti Anna , Caranci Nicola , Giaquinto Carlo , Barbiellini Amidei Claudio , Canova Cristina
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

The success of pediatric COVID-19 vaccination strongly depends on parents' willingness to immunize their children. To date the role of socio-economic status (SES) on pediatric COVID-19 vaccination has not been thoroughly examined.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the association between the proportion of children vaccinated against COVID-19 and SES in a large pediatric cohort.

METHODS

A case-control study design nested into a pediatric cohort of children living in the Veneto Region between July 2021 and March 2022 was adopted, in which each vaccinated child was matched to up to five unvaccinated children. Data on the children was collected from the Pedianet database and linked with the COVID-19 registry. Children born between 2007-2017 and with a pediatric follow-up to at least January 1st 2022, were georeferenced to determine their area deprivation index (ADI), a measure of social and material deprivation calculated at census block level consisting of 5 socio-economic items. The association between ADI and vaccination status was measured by conditioned logistic regression models. Quantile-g-computation-regression models were applied to develop a weighted combination of the individual items (WDI) to estimate how much each component influenced the likelihood of vaccination. All analyses were stratified by age at vaccination (5-11, 12-14 years).

RESULTS

The study population consisted of 6,475 (25%) vaccinated children, matched with 32,124 non-vaccinated children. Children in the highest deprivation quintile were 36% less likely to receive a COVID-19 vaccine compared to children with the lowest deprivation (OR:0.64;95%CI:0.59-0.70). Living in a rented house, unemployment and single-parent families were the ADI components that increased the chances of being vaccinated the most. WDI confirmed the robustness of the results.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings suggest that socio-economic disparities play an important role in vaccination coverage, emphasizing the need to promote targeted public health efforts to ensure global vaccine equity.
Entre littérature et anthropologie : la "raison littéraire" d’Éric Chauvier
Authors: Demanze Laurent
Published: November 2022

L’oeuvre d’Éric Chauvier s’écrit au confluent de la littérature et de l’anthropologie : il puise chez les écrivains des outils épistémologiques et des dispositifs cognitifs, pour élargir la puissance descriptive et la force politique de l’anthropologie. Ce faisant, il interroge les frontières disciplinaires et relance le dialogue mené depuis plus d’un siècle entre ces champs, moins sur le mode de l’affrontement que sur celui de la coopération. C’est alors l’onirique ou le bizarre que la littérature suscite, pour introduire l’inconfort et la dissonance dans les outils des sciences sociales.

"Satiri travestiti": comicità tragica e sperimentalismo nelle favole pastorali di Luigi Groto, il Cieco d’Adria
Authors: Fumi Marta
Published: November 2022

Il contributo affronta il tema dello sperimentalismo nel teatro di Luigi Groto, e si sofferma, in particolare, sul personaggio del satiro, semidio caratterizzato nelle pastorali dall’impulsività degli istinti sessuali, dall’indole violenta e da una comicità grottesca, dai risvolti talora tragici. Si vedrà come, nelle due favole pastorali La Calisto (1583) e Il pentimento amoroso (1576), benché assente dall’elenco dei personaggi, la maschera del satiro sia ravvisabile dietro quelle di Febo e del pastore Ergasto, mettendo in luce i rapporti con la tradizione del genere (La Mirzia di Marc’Antonio Epicuro, Il Sacrificio di Agostino Beccari, L’Aminta di Torquato Tasso).

Da prosa à poesia épica. "Hespaña Libertada"
Authors: Ramos Maria Ana
Published: November 2022

A produção literária portuguesa demonstra como a narrativa breve se apropriou de um conto fundacional, História do Rei D. Ramiro de León, ocorrido durante a Reconquista. O relato, sugerido pela Lenda de Salomão (mulher adúltera), circulou durante a Idade Média por toda a Península ibérica (Crónica de Población de Ávila, Fragmento de la Crónica Aragonesa, Livros de Linhagens, s.

The need of wood for lumber industry in indonesia has got deficit over increasing population that make demand increase dramatically. One of effort that we could do is to find an alternative of wood like make particle board. Sugar palm waste and bamboo waste can be usde as board particle sources because it contains sellulose, hemisellulose and lignin as element of wood structure. The objective of this research is to find out the effect of urea formaldehyde addition and combination of layered particle from aren waste particle and bamboo waste shaving to the properties of particle board.Research methodology was completely randomized design with two factors. The first factor has three kind treatment were combination layered board particle with ratio  face (sugar palm) : core (bamboo) : face (sugar palm) are 10%:80%:10%(K1), 20%:60%:20%(K2), 30%:40%:30%(K3). Second factor has three kind treatment were amount of adhesicve 5% (P1), 10%(P2) and 15%(P3). Parameter of property test were density, water absorption, thickness swelling, internal bonding, modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity with using SNI 03-2105-2006.The research showed that particle layered composition factor affects significantly to internal bonding and modulus of elasticity but it doesn’t effect significantly to density, water absorption, thickness swelling and modulus of rupture. Meanwhile, adhesive factor affects significantly to all of property test. The best particle board made from combination layered arrangement 10% face : 80% core : 10% face (K1) with amount of adhesive 15% (P3). It has the best property as density 0,77 g/cm3, thickness swelling 22,84%, water arsoption 59,79%, internal bonding 3,56 kgf/cm2, modulus of rupture 182,48 kgf/cm2 and modulus of elasticity 16.352,9 kgf/cm2.

This research develops a monitoring tool for urban plan-process based on Life Cycle Analysis by Lourenço. A special project of urban waterfront revitalization is proposed as a contribution to legitimize the LCA model. This research also proposes the influence and the success key factors of its behavior plan-process.The model is tested through benchmarking for six waterfront cities in South Europe. Bilbao in Spain, Genoa in Italy, and Lisbon in Portugal are considered as the success projects since the urban strategy has a strong link with the urban waterfront area notified by the high intensity of the cycle for each phase. Porto and Viana do Castelo in Portugal are considered as the success projects which have a similar behavior for the action and living phase which might be due to the same project under national policy and the projects touch economic and social opportunity of the people. Aveiro in Portugal shows rupture in the beginning, followed by high intensity in the next period which has similar behavior with ideal behavior of LCA model.This research shows the applicability of LCA Model to monitor waterfront revitalization projects and enables the discussion of conceptual issues related to the legitimizing of LCA and the present contribution. The behavior of urban waterfront area and the time dimension can be monitored and the influenced factors of the behavior can be noticed with the success key factors, those are: Planning: does the urban waterfront become the focus of the city planning? Action: does the project persistence in the design proposal? andLiving: does the urban waterfront touch social, culture and economic of the people activities?.

Slow sand filtration has been admitted as an old method of water treatment and has been widely used in the world. This type of sand filter is prominent in its simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness. The term effectiveness refers to the performance on removing particulate matter and microorganisms. There are some significant factors should be considered in the system of slow sand filtration, such as grain size distribution of media, sand type, bed depth, operation mode of filter, and filtration rate. This study focuses on the influence of different effective size of media and operation mode in slow sand filtration especially on removing turbidity. Grain size distribution is represented by the effective size (d10) and uniformity coefficient (Cu). In regard to the operation mode, both sizes were operated under intermittent operation mode and were compared in two different level of supernatant layer: decreasing level and constant level. Laboratory scale experiments were conducted using four filter columns. Two filter columns were filled up with Rhein sand in different effective size of d10 0.075 mm and d10 0.50 mm. Uniformity coefficient Cu 2.5 and curvature coefficient Cc 1 were the same for both d10. Every column was fed with the same concentration of artificial raw water. The artificial raw water was created from Heilerde (clay from Germany) which passed 0.063 mm sieve opening mixed with tap water. Fine grain size tends to be easier to be controlled in regard to filtration rate, and vice versa for the coarse grain size. Surprisingly, the coarse grain size was able to remove turbidity as good as the fine grain size. Permeability of column was also tested and it decreased along with the addition of Heilerde.
