”Vanhakin on ihminen” Ikääntyneiden kokemuksia vahvuuksistaan, voimavaroistaan ja kotihoidosta
Authors: Kariniemi Kirsi Soilikki
Published: March 2020

Ikääntyneelle on tärkeää saada käyttää omia vahvuuksiaan ja taitojaan, saada myönteisiä kokemuksia sekä kokea yhteenkuuluvuutta ja merkityksellisyyden tunnetta. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvailla kotihoidossa olevien ikääntyneiden kokemuksia omista vahvuuksista, voimavaroihin vaikuttavista tekijöistä sekä kotihoidosta. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on lisätä ymmärrystä ikääntyneiden vahvuuksien hyödyntämisestä voimavaroina, sekä herätellä ikääntyvien parissa työskenteleviä pohtimaan ikääntyvien oikeutta tulla kuulluksi ja kohdatuksi, sekä otetuksi huomioon yksilöllisten vahvuuksien ja voimavarojen kautta.

Tutkimusaineisto koostui kotihoidon asiakkaan (n=10) haastattelusta. Aineisto analysoitiin eksistentiaalista fenomenologiaa soveltaen. Tutkimusmenetelmän valinta perustui holistiseen ihmiskäsitykseen sekä inhimillisen kokemuksen ontologiseen analyysiin. Haastattelut toteutettiin avoimena haastatteluna, koska tutkittavien haluttiin kuvaavan yksilökohtaisia ja yksityiskohtaisia kokemuksiaan. Ikääntyneen elämänhistorian tunteminen, yksilöllisten vahvuuksien, voimavarojen ja toiveiden huomioiminen mahdollistaa arvokkaan elämän sekä laadukkaan vanhustyön toteutumisen. Kotihoidossa ikääntyneen kuulluksi tuleminen ja kohtaaminen auttavat havaitsemaan yksilölliset tarpeet ja elämäntilanteet. Tämän avulla voidaan arvioida ikääntyneen tarvitsemaansa yksilöllistä tukea ja palveluntarvetta. Sosiaalisiin suhteisiin liittyvät seikat ovat merkittävässä asemassa, kun tarkastellaan ikääntyneiden vahvuuksia, voimavaroja tai heidän toiveitansa.

Micro-level factors associated with alcohol use and binge drinking among youth in the COMPASS study (2012/13 to 2017/18)
Authors: Holligan Simone D. , Qian Wei , de Groh Margaret , Jiang Ying , Leatherdale Scott T.
Published: March 2020

Introduction

This study examined the associations of micro-level factors with current alcohol use and binge drinking among a large sample of Canadian youth.

Methods

This descriptive-analytical study was conducted among high school students enrolled in the COMPASS study between 2012/13 and 2017/18. We used generalized estimating equations modelling to determine associations between micro-level factors and likelihood of current versus non-current alcohol use and binge drinking among respondents.

Results

Students reporting current cannabis use were more likely to report current alcohol use over never use (odds ratio [OR] = 4.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.33–4.60) compared to students reporting non-current cannabis use. Students reporting current smoking of tobacco products were more likely to report current binge drinking over never binge drinking (OR = 2.52, 95% CI: 2.45–2.58), compared to non-smoking students. Students reporting weekly disposable incomes of more than $100 were more likely to report current over never binge drinking (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 2.09–2.19), compared to students reporting no weekly disposable income.

Conclusion

Higher disposable incomes, smoking of tobacco products and use of cannabis were associated with current alcohol use and binge drinking among youth. Findings may inform design of polysubstance use prevention efforts in high schools.

Published: March 2020

This At-a-glance presents updated estimates for the Positive Mental Health Surveillance Indicator Framework for adults aged 18 years and older. Using data from the 2015 and 2017 Canadian Community Health Survey, we calculated the prevalence of positive mental health and associated determinants. Estimates for positive mental health outcomes for adults ranged from 68.1% to 87.1%. We also explored the associations between sociodemographic factors and positive mental health among adults in Canada. Our findings suggest sociodemographic differences in odds of self-rated mental health, happiness, life satisfaction, and psychological and social well-being.

Grażyna Bacewicz – The Polish Sappho
Authors: Gąsiorowska Małgorzata
Published: March 2020

The paper is an attempt at a synthetic presentation of the Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz’s (1909–1969) musical output and artistic career, presented against the background of events in her personal life, and of major events in Polish and European history in the first seven decades of the 20th century. Bacewicz was called ‘the Polish Sappho’ already in the years between World Wars I and II, when there were very few women-composers capable of creating works comparable to the most eminent achievements of male composers. Her path to success in composition and as a concert soloist leads from lessons with her father, the Lithuanian Vincas Bacevičius, to studies at the Łódź and Warsaw Conservatories (violin with Józef Jarzębski, composition with Kazimierz Sikorski), and later with Nadia Boulanger at the École Normale de la Musique, as well as violin lessons with André Tourret. Her oeuvre has for many years been linked with neoclassicism, and folkloric inspirations are evident in many of her works. Her crowning achievement in the neoclassical style is the Concerto for String Orchestra of 1948, while influences from folklore can distinctly be heard in many concert pieces and small forms. The breakthrough came around 1958, under the influence of avant-garde trends present in West European music, which came to be adapted in Poland thanks to the political transformations and the rejection of socialist realism. In such pieces as Music for Strings, Trumpets and Percussion of 1958, Bacewicz transforms her previously fundamental musical components (melody, rhythm, harmony) into a qualitatively new type of sound structures, mainly focused on the coloristic aspects. Grażyna Bacewicz also applied the twelve-note technique, albeit to a limited extent, as in String Quartet No. 6 (1960). Her last work was the unfinished ballet Desire to a libretto by Mieczysław Bibrowski after Pablo Picasso’s play Le désir attrapé par la queue.
DFT Study on Adsorption of Acetone and Toluene on Silicene
Authors: Lam Pham Trong , Luong Ta Thi , On Vo Van , Dinh Van An
Published: March 2020

In this work, we investigated the adsorption mechanism of acetone and toluene on the surface of silicene by the quantum simulation method. The images of the potential energy surfaces for different positions of the adsorbate on the silicene surface were explored by Computational DFT-based Nanoscope tool for determination of the most stable configurations and diffusion possibilities. The charge transfer in order of 0.2 – 0.3 electrons and the tunneling gap opening of 18 – 23 meV due to acetone and toluene, respectively, suggest that silicene is considerably sensitive with these VOCs and can be used as the material in the fabrication of reusable VOC sensors.

Las condiciones de entrega en el comercio exterior, sintetizadas mediante los Incoterms,  apenas han sido analizadas en la literatura económica sobre costes de transporte. En este trabajo se lleva a cabo una primera aproximación para el comercio exterior español, utilizando para ello la Estadística de Comercio Exterior. Además de mostrar los principales patrones en el uso de los Incoterms por parte de los exportadores e importadores españoles, se estima un modelo de respuesta binaria en el que la variable a explicar distingue si el vendedor se encarga o no del transporte principal. Se ha obtenido que la distancia, la renta per cápita y el ratio peso/valor pueden influir en la elección de los Incoterms.
Generation of N,N-Di(4-bromophenyl)nitrenium Ion Under Acidic Conditions: Search for a Nitrenium Dication
Authors: Zeppuhar Andrea , Falvey Daniel
Published: March 2020

The behavior of the N,N-di(4-bromophenyl)nitrenium ion under acidic aqueous conditions was examined via laser flash photolysis experiments. A long-lived species forms and can be assigned as the cation radical or the dication. This species is unreactive towards nucleophiles and reactive towards strong electron donors, consistent with a cation radical. Mechanistic analysis indicates its formation is through a separate pathway than that of the nitrenium ion, suggestive of a triplet mechanism.

Authors: Ramon Xavier , Mauri-Ríos Marcel , Díaz-Campo Jesús
Published: March 2020

En un contexto caracterizado por transformaciones estructurales y la crisis de credibilidad del periodismo, la rendición de cuentas de los medios adquiere una importancia central. Focalizándose en el contexto español, este artículo examina las percepciones de los periodistas y los ciudadanos sobre los mecanismos de accountability impulsados por los medios. Para ello se administró una encuesta online a periodistas, se celebraron seis grupos de discusión con ciudadanos y se realizaron 19 entrevistas en profundidad con expertos y representantes de asociaciones profesionales. Los resultados revelan la modesta evaluación que los periodistas hacen de estos instrumentos. Desde la perspectiva ciudadana, se subraya la falta de visibilidad y relativa desconfianza respecto estos mecanismos. Con el objetivo de incentivar la reflexión y la posterior toma de decisiones, se ha diseñado una plataforma open access que permite evaluar si los medios disponen de estos instrumentos clave para fomentar la transparencia, la autorregulación y la participación.

Physicochemical properties of dragon fruit peel pectin and citrus peel pectin: a comparison
Authors: N.W.F. Muhammad , A.F. Nurrulhidayah , M.S. Hamzah , O. Rashidi , Rohman A.
Published: March 2020

Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit belongs to Cactae family of genus Hylocereus. Popular as
buah naga in Malay, dragon fruit is not only sought after for its wonderful taste, but this
fruit is also nutritionally and medicinally attractive for consumers. The dragon fruit flesh
is usually eaten raw or it is processed into juices and the remaining peel will be discarded.
To minimize the waste created from dragon fruit consumption, an idea of transforming the
peel of dragon fruit into edible pectin has been proposed. Pectin can be found in food
products as a gelling agent and it is used to maintain the quality of foods. Recent market
demand for pectin is increasing annually and to meet the supply-demand, researchers are
working towards obtaining pectin from available non-conventional sources. In this study,
pectin was extracted from dragon fruit peel by hot acid extraction at pH 3.5 and 75 mins
of extraction. Distilled water was used as a solvent and the acidic environment was
achieved with dilute HCl. Degree of esterification (DE) analysis was performed by FTIR.
The extracted pectin was categorized as high methoxyl pectin based on DE (52%). The
endothermic properties of dragon fruit pectin analyzed by DSC indicating the stability of
extracted pectin compared to citrus peel pectin. Pectin extracted was characterized in
terms of moisture (14.03±1.925), ash content (8.73±1.218), as well as water and oilholding capacity (4.08±0.0.81) (2.18±0.096), swelling capacity (5.94±1.271) and texture
profile in terms of gumminess (33.66±6.05), cohesiveness (1.06±0.08) and hardness
(31.63±3.81). All characteristics were compared with citrus peel pectin.

The severity of wheat yield crises on eight Spanish farms, 1700-1774
Authors: Llopis Enrique , Alonso Elvira , Fontanillo Paloma , Méndez Sara , Ramos Javier , Toyos Ana
Published: March 2020

The main purpose of this article is to measure the severity of the wheat yield crises that occurred during the first three quarters of the 18th century, using records from eight farms and estates in Extremadura, Castile and Andalusia.
Specifically, the research is based on account books from several monasteries and the Chapter of the Cordoba Cathedral. We have developed an indicator that considers yield drops in the years of sterility and, where appropriate, the magnitude of cereal deficits during the three-year periods before and after the crises. Our two most relevant conclusions indicate that: 1) the most disastrous cereal crops were obtained in the first quarter of the 18th century; and 2) the decreased severity of the crises in the second and third quarters corresponded more to the mitigation of yield deficits just before and after the years of sterility than to a moderation in their drop during the same periods of scarcity.
A redenção da palavra. Uma aproximação da soteriologia guarani
Authors: Chamorro Graciela
Published: March 2020

Entre as religiões dos indígenas das terras baixas da América do Sul é a dos Guarani a que menos corresponde à descrição clássica da religião “primitiva” como sendo fetichista e materialista. A religião deles é uma religião da palavra. Os termos ñe’e, ayvu~ e ã, traduzidos por “palavra”, significam também “voz, fala, linguagem, idioma, alma, nome, vida, origem, personalidade” e, sobretudo, possuem uma essência espiritual. Deus é palavra, e é, por excelência, um ser da fala. As experiências da vida são experiências de maior ou menor realização dessa palavra. Se perguntarmos pelo que os Guarani entendem por salvação, é também a palavra que orienta a reflexão. O mal é visto como “bifurcação da palavra” e sua superação, como “redenção” do dizer. Neste artigo procuro aproximar esse pensamento indígena da soteriologia cristã e apresentar alguns aspectos da antropologia que o sustenta.Abstract: Among the religions of the Native Indians of the South American “pampas” is that of the Guarani which least corresponds to the classical description of a “primitive” religion as being fetishist and materialist. Their religion is a religion of the word. The terms ñe’e, ayvu~ and ã, translated as “word”, also signify “voice, speech, tongue, language, soul, name, life, origin, personality” and, above all, possess a spiritual essence. God is Word, and is, by excellence, a being of speech. Life’s experiences are experiences of greater or lesser realization of this word. If we ask what the Guaranis understand by salvation it is also the word which orients reflection. Evil is seen as the “bifurcation of the word” and its overcoming as “redemption” of the spoken. In this article, I try to bring this indigenous way of thinking close to Christian soteriology and present some aspects of anthropology which sustains it.

The Problem of Completeness in Henry James’s The Spoils of Poynton
Authors: Totten Gary
Published: March 2020

James’s essays on art and exhibitions written between the 1870s and the end of the century illustrate his attention to the composition of the art exhibition within the space of the gallery or museum. James’s perception of art exhibit design and effect inform his representation of Mrs Gareth’s art collection and its setting in The Spoils of Poynton (1897). As James looked to art and the art exhibit for models to represent ‘the workings of the novel’, The Spoils of Poynton suggests the impossibility of artistic ‘completeness’ within the realistic aesthetic.
Salvaging Patriarchy in the 2018 Film Adaptation of Tomb Raider
Authors: Nae Andrei
Published: March 2020

This article focuses on the recent film adaptation of the 2013 Tomb Raider video game. Its main goal is to show that, despite the significant changes that the plot undergoes when transitioning from video game to feature film, the adaptation remains faithful to the conservative gender politics of its ludic source text, in the sense that in both the game and the film Lara must struggle to maintain patriarchal order. While in the game the female protagonist has to fulfil her late father’s unfinished archaeological (in fact colonial) project and redeem his name, in the film she has to compensate for her father’s masculinity crisis. The resolution of the plot coincides with a resolution of the crisis of masculinity, which reinstates the gender power relations privileging masculinity. Furthermore, this article shows that Lara’s struggle to re-establish patriarchy in the film’s storyworld coerces her to adopt a colonial attitude with respect to otherness. By performing phallic masculinity, Lara Croft acts as an agent of colonialism whose intervention in foreign territories and cultures is rendered by the film providential for the emancipation of the native populations.

Published: March 2020

The world's population growth, increasing urbanization and rising standards of living are some of the factors influencing waste generation in Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data of the randomly selected 100 households. These households were provided with five (5)polythene bags to separate their daily wastes during the period of fourteen (14) days. The researcher visits each household in the evening to collect the polythene bags. A sample size, adequate to estimate the value with adequate precision was calculated from three residential neighborhoods (low, medium and high cost) The rate of waste generated from recyclable items are 45.51% (1,201.61 kg), followed by food wastes with 33.98% (897.18 kg) and non-recyclable items with 20.51% (541.54 kg). Therefore, the aim of this paper is to understand the waste generation and waste composition in relation to the willingness of the households and the objective are (i) to establish the nature of the waste generation and composition per/day; and (ii) to identify the current stakeholders involved in recycling material. The results clearly show that 96% of respondents are willing to participate in any program for waste minimization. This also indirectly indicates the lifestyle of the household.

Published: March 2020

Acute Kidney injury is relatively uncommon in COVID-19 patients yet carries a high mortality. It occurs in patients complicated with ARDS or multiorgan failure, but further investigation about inflammatory and apopotic mechanisms during renal impairment are needed. Since the development of AKI is an important negative prognostic indicator for survival with CoV as reported in previous SAR-CoV and MERS-CoV outbreaks, adequate medical management of high risk patients with AKI may improve the results of previous outbreaks related to CoV.
The coarticulation-duration relationship in early Quechua speech
Authors: Cychosz Meg
Published: March 2020

Evidence from acoustic and articulatory phonetics suggests that children coarticulate more than adults, but previous work has focused on the instantiation of coarticulation with phonology in a typologically homogeneous sample. The interplay of coarticulation with children’s speaking rate has also been ignored. How do coarticulation and speaking rate (duration) interact over the course of development, and does the interaction manifest differently across distinct morphological environments? To answer this, the current study measured the speech patterns of bilingual Quechua- Spanish children (5-10 years) and adults. Coarticulation and duration were measured in two word environments, within morphemes and across morpheme boundaries. Unsurprisingly, adults consistently coarticulated more in shorter duration sequences, in both morphological environments. The children’s coarticulation-duration patterns, however, varied by morphological environment. Additionally, the children’s speech patterns, but not the adults’, were sensitive to prosodic length: children produced increasingly shorter phones in words with more syllables. It is suggested that the differences between adults and children are attributable to adults’ faster speaking rate and increased dominance in Quechua.

The present research examined the idea that followers are more strongly motivated by radical as opposed to moderate political leaders. We derived this idea from the significance quest theory that posits that a desire to feel important and meaningful is one of the fundamental human motives (Kruglanski et al., 2018, 2022). We expected that voters would be more willing to support political actors when they perceived them as radical as opposed to moderate, because the goals of those radical actors would be more personally important for voters. Consequently, supporters would experience a greater sense of personal significance from supporting such goals, which would motivate them to get engaged on behalf of their candidates. In five studies (N = 2,154), including two pre-registered replications, spanning two U.S. presidential elections (2016, 2020) and Polish parliamentary elections (2023), we found support for our predictions. The results showed that as followers perceived their candidates as more radical, they viewed the leaders' goals as more personally important, experienced a greater sense of personal significance, and expressed a higher willingness to make sacrifices for the candidates. These results contribute to the understanding of the appeal of radical political actors.

The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis can be used to achieve a high content of α-olefin (C5–C11) products using Fe-based catalysts. Herein, C6 and C8 α-olefins have been selected as examples for the alkylation of benzene catalyzed by using an acidic ionic liquid (Et3NHCl-AlCl3) to obtain a variety of intermediates used to prepare surfactants. A series of alkylbenzenes were synthesized by controlling the reaction conditions and their corresponding alkylbenzene sulfonates were successfully obtained by sulfonation and neutralization. It was found that the single chain alkylbenzene sulfonate derivatives did not display typical surfactant properties due to their short hydrophobic chain length. However, double chain alkylbenzene sulfonates exhibit excellent surfactant properties, and decrease the water surface tension compared to commercially available sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonates. A γ
cmc (mN m−1) value of 32.70 was observed for sodium di-hexylbenzene sulfonates, 29.98 for sodium di-octylbenzene sulfonates, and 36.0 for sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonates. In addition, double chain alkylbenzene sulfonates show an improved emulsifying and wettability performance compared to sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. This demonstrates that the capability of alkylbenzene sulfonate to decrease the surface tension are closely related to the total carbon number of side chain-alkyl groups connected to the benzene ring.
Green Methodology Development for the Surfactant Assisted Williamson Synthesis of 4-Benzyloxy Benzoic Acid (Ether) in Aqueous Media

Modern science and technology promote synthesis routes which are eco-friendly, chemicals which are promoted as “green” and solvents which are less toxic. A convenient method for the synthesis of ether by the reaction of 4-hydroxy benzoic acid and benzyl chloride using a surfactant as catalyst has been developed. The targeted ether is completely immiscible in water but in association with the interface active surfactants, the production of such a hydrophobic organic compound in water has been made possible. Micelles produce a pseudo-cellular organic environment to isolate species from the bulk solvent and favour the compartmentalization of reagents as well. Thus, the enhancement of the local concentration takes place and consequently the reactivity increases. The interaction of such unique chemo-, regio- and stereo-selectivity of surfactants made this reaction feasible. Organic species added to a micellar media are distributed between bulk water and micelles depending on their polarity, charge and dimension. This novel chemistry describes a set of green methods for carrying out this new generation Williamson reaction which can also be used for selective O-alkylation.
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES FOR INCLUSION OF FACTORS OF A "GREEN ECONOMY" INTO MEDIUM TERM FORECASTING MODELS FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors: SHKUROPAT A.V. , STEPANOV V.M.
Published: March 2020

Topicality. This is based on the importance of coordinating national and regional socio-economic policy with a recognition of the need for “green” growth and an assessment of government policy measures based on the application of multi-regional modeling methodology to analyze the effects of public policy in a regional context, and on medium-term forecasting of a country's sustainable socio-economic development.Aim and tasks. The aim of the study is to improve the scientific validity of methodology for medium-term forecasting of the main parameters of a country's socio-economic development in terms of individual regions by aligning the objectives and priorities of public policy. The objective is to develop, based on a review of international literature, methodological approaches for obtaining coherent medium-term forecast estimates of major groups of territorial economic, social and environmental indicators, based on modern methodologies for measuring the targeted effects of improving living standards, “green” growth, and overall competitiveness of the national economy in its spatial dimension.
Research results. The results of the research are based on a review of international literature and the justification for methodology to apply modern multi-regional models for the assessment of the effects of interconnected economic, social and environmental policies in the analysis of interactions between national and regional factors of sustainable economic growth, regional disparities, and strengthening of national competitiveness.
Conclusion. Modern multi-regional models for medium-term forecasting have passed several stages of development, and have incorporated into them theories of the regional economy and the mathematical tools for socio-economic systems modeling. The most effective current policy application is in the practice of recent EU regional policy. Methodology for application of complex multi-regional models has to be flexible, with the application of complementary modeling tools, and providing for further development of model modules to describe the mutual interaction of national and regional factors of sustainable economic growth, including indicators for “green” investment. A number of specific modeling tools (special engineering simulation models, GIS-based models) are usedto assess environmental parameters of spatial development. Our research proposes to incorporate the main indicators of “green” growth into national and regional blocks of multi-regional models, starting with the simplest options such as small econometric models of partial equilibrium, into which - based on a specially conducted analysis - the most significant factors of sustainable economic growth and exogenous parameters of public policy are included. A special place is given to testing the effectiveness of “green” economy measures.

For several years, the great swallow (Progne chalybea) has used the collective dormitory of the city center of Chapecó in the period before migration, a unique opportunity to obtain ecological data of the species. The approach of free-living birds to humans may be a concern due to the possibility of pathogen transmission, as birds may be contaminated by human or domestic pathogens. This study verified the prevalence of endoparasites in the fecal P. chalybea samples collected in the dormitory from April to May 2019. Preliminary data suggest parasitism by Capillaria and coccidia (oocysts suggestive of the genera Eimeria and/or Isospora). It is known that the occurrence of endoparasites can be used as a sanitary parameter. Therefore, further work is important to determine which species of parasites has P. chalybea. Moreover, these data can be used in inferences of bird health, since they provide an important ecological service in the control of insect vectors.

Neoplasms in companion animals have been prominent in veterinary medicine due to their higher incidence; especially in animals of old age. Thus, tumors in the oral cavity, for example, account for about 5% of the common neoplasias affecting dogs, being responsible for the presence of metastases in various organs and regions of the body such as the cervical region. The types of neoplasias that affect some oral tumors are epithelial and mesenchymal tumors, most of which are tumors of round cells and identified as masses present in the subcutaneous and cutaneous tissue. The Mixed Tumor is characterized as having epithelial and mesenchymal cells at its origin. The present case report is an old dog, affected by mesenchymal neoplasia and mixed tumor in the oral cavity and cervical region, which was submitted to surgical treatment, obtaining improvement in clinical status and quality of life.

This study was conducted through an online questionnaire with residents of the southern region of Palmas-TO. It sought to identify the incidence of hemoparasitosis in dogs and the participants' level of knowledge about the diseases. It was shown that the majority of respondents - young people between 18 and 25 years old (80.58%) with complete high school (55.34%) and frequent users of social networks - know the diseases researched from the popular term, “diseases of the tick ”(56.31%), and not its technical nomenclature, ie hemoparasitic diseases (31.07%). The theoretical study revealed that erliquiosis (9.71%) is prevalent in dogs of urban area, due to the higher occurrence of the parasite Rhipicephalus sanguineus in these regions.
