Health is a priority need where related services should be extended to people and empower them on aspectsthat is beneficial to their wellbeing. However, approaches toward health intervened bythe culture outgrownby the people in a society that oftentimes influence beliefs about the origins and nature of illness and howit will be managed. Therefore, understanding individual and cultural beliefs about health and illness isessential. This is vital in developing effective approaches on how to improve health of the people though,everyone’s experience with illness is unique and personalized. Community’s health development throughempowerment of people on services that will benefit them was the ultimate goal of this project at whichparticipatory assessment was the initial step to identify what particular health needs to be addressed. Atwhich, sequential explanatory strategy of mixed method research design was used where survey on holistichealth indices followed by key informant interviews and observations particularly on their health-relatedpractices, traditions were the means of data collection applied. All gathered data on health and healthrelated problems has inference to their culture. It was also noted that culture has implication to the healthstatus of the community. Therefore, it is highly suggested to develop extension services on promotive andpreventive health programs that is more intensive particularly on healthy lifestyle, prevention and controlof communicable and non-communicable diseases, family planning, environmental safety and sanitation,personal hygiene and community-based health projects based on their beliefs and practices. Moreover, clearand simple dissemination of result prior to planning should be given an emphasis to avoid conflict and togain full participation of the community

The interplay between gaze and consistency in scene viewing: Evidence from visual search by young and older adults
Authors: Fernandes Eunice G. , Phillips Louise H. , Slessor Gillian , Tatler Benjamin W.
Published: March 2021

Searching for an object in a complex scene is influenced by high-level factors such as how much the item would be expected in that setting (semantic consistency). There is also evidence that a person gazing at an object directs our attention towards it. However, there has been little previous research that has helped to understand how we integrate top-down cues such as semantic consistency and gaze to direct attention when searching for an object. Also, there are separate lines of evidence to suggest that older adults may be more influenced by semantic factors and less by gaze cues compared to younger counterparts, but this has not been investigated before in an integrated task. In the current study we analysed eye-movements of 34 younger and 30 older adults as they searched for a target object in complex visual scenes. Younger adults were influenced by semantic consistency in their attention to objects, but were more influenced by gaze cues. In contrast, older adults were more guided by semantic consistency in directing their attention, and showed less influence from gaze cues. These age differences in use of high-level cues were apparent early in processing (time to first fixation and probability of immediate fixation) but not in later processing (total time looking at objects and time to make a response). Overall, this pattern of findings indicates that people are influenced by both social cues and prior expectations when processing a complex scene, and the relative importance of these factors depends on age.
Letter and word identification in the fovea and parafovea
Authors: Scaltritti Michele , Grainger Jonathan , Dufau Stéphane
Published: March 2021

We investigated the extent to which accuracy in word identification in foveal and parafoveal vision is determined by variations in the visibility of the component letters of words. To do so we measured word identification accuracy in displays of three three-letter words, one on fixation and the others to the left and right of the central word. We also measured accuracy in identifying the component letters of these words when presented at the same location in a context of three three-letter nonword sequences. In the word identification block, accuracy was highest for central targets and significantly greater for words to the right compared with words to the left. In the letter identification block, we found an extended W-shaped function across all nine letters, with greatest accuracy for the three central letters and for the first and last letter in the complete sequence. Further analyses revealed significant correlations between average letter identification per nonword position and word identification at the corresponding position. We conclude that letters are processed in parallel across a sequence of three three-letter words, hence enabling parallel word identification when letter identification accuracy is high enough.

Проведен краткий анализ понятий, связанных с расчетом пределов огнестойкости строительных конструкций. Дано определение термина «фактический предел огнестойкости», которое отсутствует в нормативных документах по пожарной безопасности. Отмечено, что это связано с использованием на практике значений пределов огнестойкости, определенных для стандартных температурных режимов пожара, в то время как на практике указанные температурные режимы, как правило, отличаются от стандартных. Предложена концепция определения фактического предела огнестойкости, основанная на моделировании воздействия на строительную конструкцию температурного режима реального пожара (например, с помощью программного комплекса FDS 6).

The brief analysis of definitions connected with estimation of fire resistance limits of building structures is conducted. There is given the determination of term “actual fire resistance limit” that is absent in fire safety normative documents. It is caused by practical application of the fire resistance limits determined for standard temperature regimes of fires only, but at the same time the temperature regimes of real fires as a rule differ from the standard regimes. There is proposed the method for determination of the actual fire resistance limit based on the modeling of influence of the real fire temperature regime on buildings structures. This modeling can be made by an application of CFD methods (for example, with the help of FDS 6 software complex). The required reliability of the building structure is considered. The proposed method can solve the problem of practical applicability of certain structural unit during designing buildings and structures, for which the use of the resistance limits obtained for the standard fire temperature regimes can lead to unjustified economic expenditures without an appropriate elevation of fire safety level of the object.

The paper contains proposals for inclusion in the testing methodology for technical means of protecting gas cylinders from physical destruction. The proposals relate to the choice of typical scenarios characteristic for emergencies and fire development in a room with LPG cylinders: the ingress of cylinders into the fire center, the impact on the cylinder surface of the heat flow of the adjacent fire center; the impact on the surface of the cylinder of LPG vapors jet combustion, simulating the effect of combustion of LPG vapors coming out of the outlet of the valve (safety valve or membrane) of the adjacent cylinder. The design of the installation for testing cylinders in accordance with the above scenarios is presented. There are given requirements for the test preparation procedure, including the verification of documentation, installation of technical protective equipment, filling and delivery of cylinders, checking for gas leaks from cylinders after delivery, installation for testing. A detailed description of the installation procedure is given in accordance with the presented diagrams for various test scenarios. The basic diagrams of the measuring system for the pressure inside the cylinder, mounting of thermocouples on the wall of the cylinder, and remote supply of liquid fuel to trays are described. There is described the test procedure, which consists of turning on the recording systems, gas supplying to the installation, activating the cylinder heating system, video recording of the experiment with timing, closing the valve in front of the pressure sensor after the end of combustion, discharging LPG from the sealed cylinder to the burner. The requirements for the composition of the test report are given, which make it possible to confirm the reliability of the experiments.

El valor público, característica fundamental en la nueva gestión pública
Authors: Zegarra Walter
Published: March 2021

El artículo tuvo por objetivo analizar el valor público como característica fundamental en la nueva gestión pública. El tipo de investigación fue cuantitativa, la muestra seleccionada fue de 375 funcionarios, aplicándose el muestreo no probabilístico cuyo nivel de confianza fue del 95%, la técnica empleada fue la encuesta y el instrumento el cuestionario con escala tipo Lickert, el método utilizado para la recogida de la información fue en forma presencial y online. Se determinó que los organismos locales defienden improvisaciones de servicios públicos sin una instauración del valor público. Las improvisaciones que demandan instituir vínculos con los habitantes se observan insuficientes y con predisposición a la baja. Por último, se concluye que la generación de valor público se expone en un 32,5% por la correlación inmediata con el logro de resultados desafiantes, que a la vez depende elocuentemente del desarrollo de competencias, dirección centrada en el control de gestión, asignación de recompensas y una cultura de mejora continua.

In this study, we present an announcement of Novaya Zemlya Collared Lemming Dicrostonyx torquatus ungulatus (von Baer, 1841) complete mitogenome. This rodent was described historically as an Arctic Collared Lemming subspecies endemic to Novaya Zemlya (Arctic Russia) but its taxonomic status was unclear due to the lack of available molecular data. Based on a comprehensive mitogenomic phylogeny of the Arctic Collared Lemming, we show that this insular population shares a highly divergent mtDNA sequence (total length 16,341 bp). Hence, it should be considered a valid subspecies of the Arctic Collared Lemming. Our findings support the hypothesis that the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago had served as a cryptic polar refugium for cold-tolerant terrestrial and freshwater taxa since the mid-Pleistocene or even earlier.
