Authors: O'Connor Marianne , Morgan Katy E , Bailey-Straebler Suzanne , Fairburn Christopher G , Cooper Zafra
Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND

One of the major barriers to the dissemination and implementation of psychological treatments is the scarcity of suitably trained therapists. A highly scalable form of Web-centered therapist training, undertaken without external support, has recently been shown to have promise in promoting therapist competence.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to conduct an evaluation of the acceptability and effectiveness of a scalable independent form of Web-centered training in a multinational sample of therapists and investigate the characteristics of those most likely to benefit.

METHODS

A cohort of eligible therapists was recruited internationally and offered access to Web-centered training in enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy, a multicomponent, evidence-based, psychological treatment for any form of eating disorder. No external support was provided during training. Therapist competence was assessed using a validated competence measure before training and after 20 weeks.

RESULTS

A total of 806 therapists from 33 different countries expressed interest in the study, and 765 (94.9%) completed a pretraining assessment. The median number of training modules completed was 15 out of a possible 18 (interquartile range, IQR: 4-18), and 87.9% (531/604) reported that they treated at least one patient during training as recommended. Median pretraining competence score was 7 (IQR: 5-10, range: 0-19; N=765), and following training, it was 12 (IQR: 9-15, range: 0-20; N=577). The expected change in competence scores from pretraining to posttraining was 3.5 (95% CI 3.1-3.8; P<.001). After training, 52% (300/574) of therapists with complete competence data met or exceeded the competence threshold, and 45% (95% CI 41-50) of those who had not met this threshold before training did so after training. Compliance with training predicted both an increase in competence scores and meeting or exceeding the competence threshold. Expected change in competence score increased for each extra training module completed (0.19, 95% CI 0.13-0.25), and those who treated a suitable patient during training had an expected change in competence score 1.2 (95% CI 0.4-2.1) points higher than those who did not. Similarly, there was an association between meeting the competence threshold after training and the number of modules completed (odds ratio, OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.07-1.15), and treating at least one patient during training was associated with competence after training (OR=2.2, 95% CI 1.2-4.1).

CONCLUSIONS

Independent Web-centered training can successfully train large numbers of therapists dispersed across a wide geographical area. This finding is of importance because the availability of a highly scalable method of training potentially increases the number of people who might receive effective psychological treatments.

Individual unit treatment was the indivduplant. The variable that observed were female, male, and aborted inflorescence; number of frond production; and vegetative growth (height of plant and length of rachis frond). Analysis effect the drought on oil palm sex inflorescene were done by correlation analysis between rainfall and water deficit with inflorescene production. The result shown drought period decline of female inflorescense, and increasing male and aborted inflorescense. Auxin (IAA) treatment, induced vegetatif growth, but contrarily, declining female inflorescense production and increasing male and aborted inflorescense. Gibberelline (GA_3) treatment, decreasing commonly female inflorescense production, and increasing male and aborted inflorescense, mainly in the certain peak of drought periods. Citokinin (ABA) and absicic asid (ABA), tend tokeep female inflorescense production in drought condition, in a way reducing number of aborted inflorescense. Citokinin (BAP), was dominantly plant hormone to keep female inflorescense production.
Climate change news reporting in Pakistan: a qualitative analysis of environmental journalists and the barriers they face
Authors: Sharif Asim , Medvecky Fabien
Published: March 2018

Climate change is a global risk as its causes and effects are not limited to national borders, but the risks and the responsibility are not evenly spread [Beck, 2009]. Pakistan is facing especially severe impacts in the form of disasters, floods, droughts, rising temperatures, cyclones and rising sea levels due to global emissions, despite its national emissions being nominal and accounting for only 0.46% of worldwide emissions [World Bank, 2018]. Ironically, the level of public awareness of climate change is low in Pakistan compared to not only advanced countries, but also to other countries in the South Asian region [Zaheer and Colom, 2013]. A contributing factor behind this is the communication gap between the media and the broader public. This study aims to explore the factors responsible for the limited coverage of climate change in the news media, leading to confusion, uncertainty, denial and low levels of climate change awareness in Pakistan. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with media professionals and the findings show that political, economic, social, cultural, technological and scientific factors influence the news coverage of climate change issues.
A questão socioambiental na particularidade brasileira: caráter destrutivo da acumulação capitalista
Authors: Nunes Letícia Soares
Published: March 2018

O objetivo do artigo é problematizar as estratégias do capital para minimizar as sequelas da destrutividade socioambiental.  Parte-se do pressuposto que tais estratégias vêm sendo utilizadas como forma de disseminar a ideologia hegemônica de que seria possível compatibilizar sustentabilidade social, ambiental e econômica no capitalismo que, por essência, é destrutivo e desigual.  Assim sendo, considerando a pesquisa bibliográfica efetuada na tese de doutoramento, discorre-se neste artigo sobre as contradições do capitalismo que produz de forma ilimitada, mercantiliza a natureza e coisifica o homem, bem como enfatiza-se que a gestão ambiental pública brasileira vem estabelecendo estratégias que estão submetidas à mesma lógica do capital para obtenção de lucro, não interferindo nas causas da crise.

Este artigo pretende contribuir com algumas reflexões acerca da relação entre família e política social no que se refere às violações de direitos sociais. Para isso buscou-se levantar os principais conceitos e preocupações de autores sobre a temática relacionando-os com a concepção de família presente no quadro da Política de Assistência Social e evidenciar algumas empirias com base na apresentação de dados coletados a partir das demandas postas pelas famílias no âmbito da Assistência Social. A pesquisa vem sendo desenvolvida com base na teoria critica pautada no levantamento bibliográfico, pesquisa documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas na região do sudeste do Pará, onde se desenvolvem atividades de mineração. Consoante à realidade encontrada no campo foi possível observar que no âmbito das violações de direitos algumas temáticas destacaram-se, como a violência sexual, o trabalho infantil e questões chamadas de negligência. Diante disso, nota-se a forte responsabilização das famílias, principalmente das mulheres, pela situação de violência vivenciada por seus membros.

Financiamento da assistência estudantil nas universidades federais
Authors: Machado Fernanda Meneghini
Published: March 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo abordar o tema Financiamento da Política de Assistência Estudantil. Tal problematização é parte do resultado da pesquisa de mestrado realizado entre 2014 e 2016 onde, por meio de análise documental, foi possível verificar como se comporta o fundo público no capitalismo contemporâneo e como isso tem impactado na política de Assistência Estudantil. Partimos do entendimento de que o financiamento das políticas públicas ocorre por meio da transferência de recursos do fundo público, disputado tanto pelo capital quanto pelos usuários das políticas - os trabalhadores. Verificamos, com a pesquisa, que o orçamento tem sido direcionado às políticas de educação no limite dos interesses do capitalismo especulativo parasitário.
A mediação da arte no trabalho educativo do serviço social para a emancipação humana
Authors: Lopes Isabel Cristina Chaves
Published: March 2018

: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar, em nível de reflexões, questões relativas a articulação entre o debate do trabalho profissional do assistente social com estudos acerca do caráter político da arte a partir do pensamento marxiano. Tal articulação é apresentada, compreendida enquanto uma mediação política, que possibilita contribuição ao desenvolvimento de uma cultura para emancipação humana. Para tal processo entende-se que o conceito de emancipação política precisa ser abarcado, visando converter o movimento que é capaz de realizar em estratégias para a realização da emancipação humana. Para tal conquista, no entanto, temos por certo ser imprescindível a interferência no universo dos valores sintonizados com os dos movimentos sociais e com experiências teórico-práticas que favoreçam processos de suspensões cotidianas.

Pretendemos, com este artigo, desenvolver uma reflexão acerca da crise atual do capital no Brasil, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, articulando-a com as consequências para as políticas sociais, a diminuição de financiamento público, a redução de direitos sociais e o impacto nas camadas mais pobres da classe trabalhadora, onde nos debruçaremos na análise da população em situação de rua, considerando-a, a partir da teoria marxiana, da Lei Geral de Acumulação Capitalista, onde a identificamos no conjunto de pessoas que compõem a superpopulação relativa estagnada do exército industrial de reserva. Ainda no bojo dessa análise, pretendemos situar o trabalho do assistente social que através da sua dimensão pedagógica, pode extrapolar as intervenções emergenciais e contribuir para que essa população compreenda sua condição no mundo de maneira critica o que pode fortalecer as estratégias de alternativas coletivasque são desenvolvidas no trabalho social realizado na política de assistência social.
Size and Shape: The Influence of Packaging on South African BOP Consumers’ Decision-Making
Authors: Oodith Pravina Devpersadh
Published: March 2018

The bottom of the pyramid (BOP) proposition espouses the use of ‘single-serve’ or ‘sachet’ packaging in order to enhance affordability, encourage consumption and offer an assortment of good-quality products to BOP consumers. This study assesses the influence of packaging (in relation to size and price of different quantities) on South African BOP consumers’ purchase decisions. The study analyses whether or not these consumers have a tendency to purchase smaller quantities of products as opposed to making bulk purchases. This study further investigates the impact that packaging criteria (storage, convenience of purchase, prices of different package sizes and reusability of packaging) have on consumers’ decision-making. The aim is to uncover South African BOP consumers’ perceptions of packaging as a decision-making influencer in order to formulate appropriate strategies that businesses can adopt in order to lucratively serve this market. Using area sampling, a sample of 600 BOP consumers living in relative poverty within the rural areas of South Africa was drawn. Data was collected using a self-developed questionnaire whose psychometric properties were statistically analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study’s results reveal that although South African BOP consumers view small quantities of products as convenient and easy to store, the majority have an inclination to purchase large quantities instead of smaller package sizes. South African BOP consumers are also enticed to purchase products that are packaged in reusable containers, thereby, enabling the containers to be re-used after the consumption of the contents. Practical recommendations are articulated for business organizations.
The Biographical and Human Resource Management Predictors of Union Membership Engagement of Low- and Middle-Income Workers
Authors: Maleka Molefe Jonathan
Published: March 2018

In this study, the researcher investigated the biographical and human resource management (HRM) predictors of union membership. The literature reviewed revealed that there is little research on this topic in the South African context. The literature reviewed also showed that males, permanent employees, employees who are less committed, who have a level of quality of work-life (QWL) and engagement, and those who are satisfied are more likely to be unionized. A cross-sectional survey design was used to address the research questions. One thousand questionnaires were distributed and 874 were completed by the respondents at Marabastad Mall in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM) in South Africa. The study results showed that employment status was the highest predictor ( = -1.782, p<0.05) of union membership, and gender and job satisfaction were not predictors of union members. This study had managerial implications, in the sense that when hiring employees on a part-time basis, having employees who are committed and offering employees QWL (i.e. excellent fringe benefits) will impact negatively on union membership. In terms of policymakers, the study revealed that developing remuneration policies that are pro-employee (i.e. offering excellent working conditions and fringe benefits) would make them satisfied, possibly be productive, and they would engage less in counterproductive industrial actions like strikes, which in South Africa are the amongst highest in the world.

Published: March 2018

OBJECTIVE

We investigated the effect of HLA class I risk alleles on disease progression in various phases of subclinical islet autoimmunity in first-degree relatives of patients with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A registry-based group of siblings/offspring (aged 0–39 years) was monitored from single- to multiple-autoantibody positivity (n = 267) and from multiple-autoantibody positivity to clinical onset (n = 252) according to HLA-DQ, -A*24, -B*18, and -B*39 status. Genetic markers were determined by PCR sequence-specific oligotyping.

RESULTS

Unlike HLA-B*18 or -B*39, HLA-A*24 was associated with delayed progression from single- to multiple-autoantibody positivity (P = 0.009) but not to type 1 diabetes. This occurred independently from older age (P < 0.001) and absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 or -DQ8 (P < 0.001 and P = 0.003, respectively), and only in the presence of GAD autoantibodies. In contrast, HLA-A*24 was associated with accelerated progression from multiple-autoantibody positivity to clinical onset (P = 0.006), but its effects were restricted to HLA-DQ8+ relatives with IA-2 or zinc transporter 8 autoantibodies (P = 0.002). HLA-B*18, but not -B*39, was also associated with more rapid progression, but only in HLA-DQ2 carriers with double positivity for GAD and insulin autoantibodies (P = 0.004).

CONCLUSIONS

HLA-A*24 predisposes to a delayed antigen spreading of humoral autoimmunity, whereas HLA-A*24 and -B*18 are associated with accelerated progression of advanced subclinical autoimmunity in distinct risk groups. The relation of these alleles to the underlying disease process requires further investigation. Their typing should be relevant for the preparation and interpretation of observational and interventional studies in asymptomatic type 1 diabetes.

Authors: Bersezio C , Vildósola P , Sáez M , Sánchez F , Vernal R , Oliveira OB , Jorquera G , Basualdo J , Loguercio A , Fernández E
Published: March 2018

Objective:

This randomized clinical trial evaluated the effect of 35% hydrogen peroxide in comparison with 37% carbamide peroxide in a nonvital bleaching technique of “walking bleaching” (four sessions of treatment) on periodontal markers: nuclear factor kappa B-ligand (RANK-L—process of root resorption marker) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β—inflammatory response marker).

Methods and Materials:

Fifty volunteers presenting with discoloration of nonvital teeth and endodontic treatment in good condition participated. Fifty teeth were randomly divided into two study groups according to bleaching gel: HP = 35% hydrogen peroxide (n=25) and 37% carbamide peroxide (n=25). Nonvital bleaching was performed with a walking bleaching technique consisting of four sessions of bleach application. Gingival crevicular fluid samples were taken in order to quantify the RANK-L and IL-1β levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Samples were obtained from six periodontal sites for each bleached tooth: three vestibular and three palatine (mesial, middle, and distal) at seven time periods: baseline, after each of the four sessions of nonvital bleaching, at one week, and at one month after nonvital bleaching. Tooth color variations were analyzed in each session by VITA Bleachedguide 3D-MASTER (ΔSGU).

Results:

Significant increments in the RANK-L and IL-1β levels were detected in each evaluated time compared with baseline (p<0.05); however, no differences were detected between hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide on increments of the biomarkers studied. The change of color was effective for both nonvital bleaching therapies (p<0.05).

Conclusions:

Nonvital bleaching induced a significant increment in the RANK-L and IL-1β levels in periodontal tissues around bleached, nonvital teeth.

Published: March 2018

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a nanofilled and a nanohybrid composite, in combination with manufacturer-recommended etch-and-rinse adhesives, in class IV cavities. Thirty-four patients aged 14-46 years (mean age, 27.1 years) comprised the study group. Twenty-six patients received two class IV restorations and eight patients received four class IV restorations. For each patient, half the number of restorations were performed using a nanohybrid composite (Ceram X duo) and the remaining half used a nanofilled resin composite (Filtek Supreme XT), with two- (XP Bond) and three-step (Scotchbond Multipurpose) etch-and-rinse adhesives, respectively. Two experienced examiners evaluated the restorations for retention, color match, marginal discoloration, wear/loss of anatomic form, caries formation, marginal adaptation, and surface texture to compare the baseline (after placement) and annual recalls over 5 years. The cumulative success rates for the Filtek Supreme XT and Ceram X duo restorations after five years were 86.2% and 89.7%, respectively. Four Filtek Supreme XT and three Ceram X duo restorations failed. There was no statistically significant difference between the nanofilled and nanohybrid composites at any of the evaluation periods for any of the parameters evaluated. Despite the limited number of restorations, all restorations were clinically acceptable regarding retention, color match, marginal discoloration, wear or loss of anatomic form, the formation of caries, marginal adaptation, and surface texture, except the failed restorations. Fracture was the main cause of restoration failure.

El presente artículo muestra el diseño y construcción de un guante háptico con realimentación vibratoria. El guante construido, llamado Virtual Touch, involucra sensores de flexión con el fin de captar en todo momento el movimiento realizado por la mano, así como pequeños motores de vibración que indican al usuario el contacto con un objeto virtual. Se implementaron dos tipos de software para manejar el dispositivo, primero que todo una aplicación en el ambiente ROS basado en Linux, y como segunda instancia una aplicación en Windows utilizando como motor de renderizado gráfico a VTK. Las dos aplicaciones muestran el guante virtual que sigue fielmente los movimientos de la mano real, además de que indican claramente el contacto con un objeto virtual. Además, en el caso de la aplicación realizada con VTK, se puede observar la deformación realizada sobre el objeto. Las aplicaciones futuras de este dispositivo son múltiples, entre ellas el diagnóstico médico.

Authors: Salazar GermánDarío Buitrago
Published: March 2018

Hoy por hoy, las aplicaciones robóticas están acompañadas por sistemas de visión de máquina, que supervisan las actividades que desarrollan y permite el control teledirigido de los mismos. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del diseño y desarrollo de un sistema de control para el movimiento teledirigido de un brazo robótico de 4 grados de libertad (DOF), aplicando visión de máquina. Los movimientos del manipulador y su efector final dentro del espacio de trabajo, se controlan con un dispositivo de tipo Joystick, que permite al usuario generar la trayectoria a seguir. Para determinar la posición del brazo robótico, se utiliza un sensor Kinect y una figura de referencia situada en la posición final del espacio de trabajo, la cual se reconoce por un sistema de visión de máquina. Esto permite identificar la distancia estimada del manipulador respecto a la figura de referencia, utilizando el mapa de profundidad de la cámara infrarroja (IR). Las pruebas del sistema teledirigido y del sistema de visión de máquina, demostraron la exactitud del método para el cálculo de distancias espaciales utilizando el Kinect, con un error bajo, respecto a las distancias medidas reales dentro del entorno de trabajo del manipulador.
