Authors: Sanatani Michael , Potvin Kylea , Conter Henry , Warner Andrew , Trudgeon Kimberly
Published: April 2020

Background Direct observation is necessary for specific and actionable feedback, however clinicians often struggle to integrate observation into their practice. Remotely audio-monitoring trainees for periods of time may improve the quality of written feedback given to them, and may be a minimally disruptive task for a consultant to perform in a busy clinic.Methods Selected faculty used a wireless audio receiver during the second half of students' oncology rotations to listen to encounters during clinic in real time. They then gave written feedback as per usual practice, as did faculty who did not use the listening-in intervention. Feedback was de-identified and rated, using a rubric, as strong/medium/weak according to consensus of 2/3 rating investigators.Results Monitoring faculty indicated that audio monitoring made the feedback process easier and increased confidence in 95% of encounters. Most students (19/21 respondents) felt monitoring contributed positively to their learning, and included more useful comments. 101 written evaluations were completed by 7 monitoring and 19 non-monitoring faculty. 22/23 (96%) of feedback after monitoring was rated as high quality, compared to 16/37 (43%) (p<0.001) for monitoring faculty before using the equipment (and 20/78 (26%) without monitoring for all consultants (p<0.001)).Conclusions Using live audio monitoring improved the quality of written feedback given to trainees, as judged by the trainees themselves and also using an exploratory grading rubric. The method was well received by both faculty and trainees. Although there are limitations compared to in-the-room observation (body language), the benefits of easy integration into clinical practice and a more natural patient encounter without the observer physically present lead the authors to now use this method routinely while teaching oncology students.

Background NKG2D ligands (NKG2DLs) are stress-inducible molecules involved in multiple inflammatory settings. In this work, we quantified MICA, an NKG2DL, in the synovial fluid of patients suffering various arthritides and measured Nkg2dLs gene expression in murine models of acute joint inflammation. Methods Soluble MICA (sMICA) was quantified by ELISA is synovial fluids harvested from patients suffering osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, calcium pyrophosphate crystal arthritis, urate crystal arthritis and reactive arthritis. Transcripts encoding murine NKG2DLs were quantified by RT-qPCR in the joints of mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis, urate crystal arthritis and osteoarthritis. Results Marked overproduction of sMICA was observed in the synovial fluid of RA patients. Mouse studies highlighted the complex transcriptional regulation of Nkg2d ligands encoding genes depending on the inflammatory setting and microenvironment Conclusions sMICA quantification could be an interesting biomarker to identify acute inflammation in RA patients in which classical markers (ie, anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, ACPA) are undetectable.
Photodynamic inactivation of Botrytis cinerea for a safe pest management of grapevine
Authors: Ambrosini Veronica , Issawi Mohammad , Sol Vincent , Riou Catherine
Published: April 2020

Botrytis cinerea is a necrotic fungal plant pathogen responsible for the gray mold disease on more than 200 crops, including grapevine. Due to its genetic plasticity, this fungus presents a strong resistance to a large spectrum of fungicides. Thus, new fighting strategies against B. cinerea are urgently needed. In this context, antimicrobial photodynamic treatment (APDT) was considered. APDT involves the use of a photosensitizer that generates reactive oxygen species upon illumination. Tetra-4-sulfonatophenyl porphyrin tetra-ammonium (TPPS) was tested on B. cinerea; upon light exposure. 1.5 µM TPPS was shown to completely inhibit mycelial growth. A concentration of 12.5 µM TPPS was tested on three genetic background clones from Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon, grown in vitro for 2 months. Treated root apparatus of the three backgrounds was able to increase thiol production as a molecular protection against photoactivated TPPS, leading to a normal phenotype as compared with control plantlets. Finally, two-month-old grapevine leaves were infected with four-day-old mycelium of B. cinerea pre-incubated or not with TPPS. The pre-treated mycelium was unable to infect the isolated leaves of any of the three grapevine varieties after 72 h growth when subjected to a 16 h photoperiod, contrary to untreated mycelium. These results on fungus, plantlets and Botrytis-grapevine leaves, in contact with a very low concentration of TPPS, suggest a strong potential of photo-treatment against Botrytis mycelium for future agricultural practices in vineyard or other cultures.

Published: April 2020

Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is the most common treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. However, the morbidity of vertebroplasty-related complications, such as cement leakage, remains high. We tested a new technique of unilateral pulsed jet lavage and investigated its effect on the intravertebral pressure and bone cement distribution. Methods: Thirty lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5) from six cadaver spines were randomly allocated into two groups (with and without irrigation). Prior to vertebroplasty, pulsed jet lavage was performed through one side of the pedicle by using a novel cannula with two concentric conduits to remove the fat and bone marrow of the vertebral bodies in the group with irrigation. The control group was not irrigated. Then, standardized vertebroplasty was performed in the vertebral bodies in both groups. Changes in the intravertebral pressure during injection were recorded. Computed tomography (CT) was performed to observe the cement distribution and extravasations, and the cement mass volume (CMV) was calculated. Results: During cement injection, the average maximum intravertebral pressure of the unirrigated group was higher than that of the irrigated group (4.92kPa versus 2.22kPa, P<0.05). CT scans showed a more homogeneous cement distribution with less CMV (3832 mm 3 vs. 4344 mm 3 , P<0.05) and less leakage rate (6.7% vs. 46.7%, P<0.05) in the irrigated group than in the control group. Conclusions: Unilateral pulsed jet lavage can reduce intravertebral pressure and lower the incidence of cement leakage during vertebroplasty. An enhanced bone cement distribution can also be achieved through this lavage system.
Lower peripheral helper T cells in the synovium are associated with a better response to anti-TNF therapy in rheumatoid arthritis

Published: April 2020

Background: The mechanisms by which only some rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients respond favorably to TNF blockade are still poorly characterized. The goal of this study was to identify biological features that explain this differential response using a multilevel transcriptome analysis of the synovial membrane.Methods: Synovial samples from 11 patients starting anti-TNF therapy were obtained by arthroscopy at baseline and week 20. Analysis of the synovial transcriptome was performed at the gene, pathway and cell-type levels. Newly characterized pathogenic cell types in RA, peripheral helper T cells (TPH) and CD34-THY1+ fibroblasts, were estimated using a cell-type deconvolution approach. TPH association was validated using immunofluorescence. External validation was performed on an independent dataset. Results: After multiple test correction, 16 and 4 genes were differentially expressed at baseline and week 20, respectively. At the pathway level, 86 and 17 biological processes were significantly enriched at baseline and week 20, respectively. Longitudinal expression changes were associated with a drastic decrease of innate immune activity (P<5e-30), and an activation of bone and cartilage regeneration processes (P<5e-10). Cell-type deconvolution revealed a significant association between low TPH cells at baseline and a better response (P=0.026). Lower TPH cells were maintained in good responders up to week 20 (P=0.032). Immunofluorescent analyses confirmed the accuracy of the cell-type estimation (r2=0.58, P=0.005) and the association with response. TPH association with anti-TNF response was validated in an independent sample of RA patients (P=0.0040). Conclusions: A lower abundance in the synovial membrane of the new pathogenic T cell type associated to RA, peripheral helper T lymphocyte, is associated to a good response to anti-TNF therapy. Major changes in the myeloid cell compartment are also seen in response to therapy. The results of this study could help develop more effective therapies aimed at treating the pathogenic mechanisms in RA that are currently not well targeted by anti-TNF agents.

Authors: Gerlach Navina , Michiels-Corsten Matthias , Donner-Banzhoff Norbert , Viniol Annika , Schleef Tanja , Junius-Walker Ulrike , Krause Olaf
Published: April 2020

Background: Collaborative care approaches between general practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists have received international recognition for medication optimisation and deprescribing efforts. Although even specialist providers have been shown to influence deprescribing, their profession so far remains omitted from collaborative care approaches for medication optimisation. Similarly, while explorative studies on role perception and collaboration between GPs and pharmacists grow, interaction with specialists for medication optimisation is neglected. Our qualitative study therefore aims to explore GPs`, community pharmacists` and specialist providers` role perceptions of deprescribing, and to identify interpersonal as well as structural factors that may influence collaborative medication optimisation approaches. Method: Seven focus-group discussions with GPs, community pharmacists and community specialists were conducted in Hesse and Lower Saxony, Germany. The topic guide focused on views and experiences with deprescribing with special attention to inter-professional cooperation. We used conventional content analysis following an inductive-deductive approach. Results: Our exploration of role perceptions revealed factors influencing deprescribing collaboration on both interpersonal and structural levels. On interpersonal level, conflicting role positions exposed in clashes of perceived authority, while conflicting role functions were indicated by disagreement on responsibility for deprescribing tasks between stakeholder groups, and resulted in underutilisation of services. Lacking communication was reported as a general barrier to cooperation. On a structural level, missing transparency on medication information across providers and deficient reimbursement for medication optimisation activities emerged as most pronounced obstacles for successful collaborative deprescribing. Also, unclear definition of task division between professional groups provoked difficulties. Conclusion: Revealing relevant stakeholders` role perceptions on their responsibilities and delimitations for joint deprescribing is a prerequisite for collaborative care approaches. Our study revealed several preconditions for joint deprescribing action that emerge from the German setting, but may as well inform other health-systems. As such, necessary medication transparency may be enabled by sector-wide electronic health records. For clarification of role definitions, joint training sessions across stakeholder groups may strengthen future cooperation. Finally, even redefining professional roles should be considered to strengthen GPs` regulatory functions and promote a continuity of care.

Background: Patients who present to Emergency Departments (ED) after intentional self-harm are at an increased risk of dying by suicide. This applies particularly to men, who represent nearly two-thirds of those who die by suicide in Ontario. One way of potentially addressing this gap is to offer a course of blended problem-solving therapy (PST), comprised of a brief course of evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals at-risk for suicide, facilitated by the use of a patient-facing smartphone application and a clinician-facing “dashboard”. This approach has the potential to combine the benefits of face to face therapy and technology to create a novel intervention.Methods: This is a cohort study, nested within a larger pragmatic multicentre pre- and post-design cluster randomized trial (cRCT). Suicidal ideas assessed by the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS) is the primary outcome variable. Secondary outcome measures include: depression (PHQ-9); anxiety (GAD-7); PTSD (PC-PTSD); health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L); meaning in life (EMIL); perceived social supports (MSPSS); alcohol use (AUDIT); drug use (DAST-10); problem-solving skills (SPSI-R:S); self-reported health care costs; and, health service use measured using Ontario administrative health data. A process evaluation will also be conducted following study completion.Discussion: The cohort study will test whether better adherence to the intervention results in better outcomes. The value of the cohort study design is that we can examine in more detail certain sub-groups or other variables that are not available in the larger cluster randomised trial. This trial will aim to improve standards by informing best practice in management of men who self-harm and present to hospitals in Ontario.

Published: April 2020

Background: Palbociclib combined with endocrine therapy has become the standard treatment for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) metastatic breast cancer. However, little is known about the effectiveness of diverse palbociclib-based regimens other than letrozole and fulvestrant in the real-world clinical setting. This study aimed to reveal the treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in Han patients in routine clinical practice. Methods: The clinical data of patients with ER+ metastatic breast cancer treated with palbociclib were collected from the China National Cancer Center database. The efficacy profile of palbociclib in this Han population was evaluated, especially in patients younger than 40 years, in those with bone-only metastasis, for various regimen combinations, and as subsequent systemic therapy. Propensity score matching was employed to match patients with or without previous everolimus treatment. Results: A total of 186 patients from 89 cities in 18 provinces in China were enrolled. Patients older than 40 years (P=0.189), those with metastasis other than bone metastasis (P=0.023), and those who received palbociclib as first-line treatment (P<0.001) had prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared with other patients. Median PFS was similar among different palbociclib-combined groups (P=0.566): 10.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.8–16.1) in the exemestane plus palbociclib group, 9.7 months (95% CI 6.3–13.1) in the letrozole plus palbociclib group, 7.8 months (95% CI 5.5–10.2) in the fulvestrant plus palbociclib group, 7.2 months (95% CI 3.2–11.3) in the toremifene plus palbociclib group, and 6.1 months (95% CI 1.2–11.0) in the anastrozole plus palbociclib group. Patients pretreated with everolimus had significantly worse PFS (3.4 months, 95% CI 0.7–6.1) than those in the everolimus-naïve group (8.8 months, 95% CI 6.6–11.0, P=0.001) in the whole population. After propensity score matching, patients pretreated with everolimus had inferior PFS (4.4 months, 95% CI 0.5–8.2) compared with everolimus-naïve patients (6.1 months, 95% CI 4.7–7.5, P=0.439). Conclusions: Various palbociclib-based regimens have promising efficacy in real-world settings, even in patients with bone-only metastasis. Palbociclib resistance is more common in patients younger than 40 years, in those pretreated with everolimus, and in the settings of subsequent treatment compared with first-line treatment.

Published: April 2020

Background. In type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) pancreatic β cells are destroyed. Treatment entails exogenous insulin administration and strict diet control, yet optimal glycemic control is hardly attainable. Islet transplant could be an alternative in patients with poor glycemic control, but inefficient islet purification and autoimmune response of patients still a challenge. Methods Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASC) obtained from lipoaspirated fat tissue from human donors were differentiated in vitro to insulin (Ins) and glucagon (Gcg) producing cells (IPC and GPC respectively). Then, we cocultured IPC and GPC cells in low adhesion conditions to form cellular aggregates, which were encapsulated in a sodium alginate polymer. Expression of pancreatic lineage markers and secretion of insulin or glucagon in vitro were analyzed. Results We demonstrated that multipotent hASC efficiently differentiate to IPC and GPC, which also express pancreatic markers, including insulin or glucagon hormones. In turn, we calculated the Feret diameter of cellular aggregates, finding mean diameters ~80 µm at 72h of incubation. IPC/GPC aggregates were then microencapsulated in sodium-alginate polymer microgels, which were found to be more stable in Ba 2+ stabilized microgels, with average diameters ~300 µm. Interestingly, Ba 2+ -microencapsulated aggregates respond to high external glucose with insulin secretion. Conclusions The IPC/GPC differentiation process from hASC followed by generate cellular aggregates in vitro, that once microencapsulated could represent a possible treatment to T1DM.

Published: April 2020

Uniform flower development is crucial for the uniform production of mature fruit, and it is essential in the management and production of commercial strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) in greenhouses. Environmental factors such as temperature, light intensity, and photoperiod have been extensively evaluated to determine their roles in strawberry flower induction and growth; however, data on the role that lighting conditions play in the uniformity of flower development are still lacking. The aim of this study was to clarify the influence of light intensity on the uniformity of strawberry flower development in forcing culture. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate plants’ response to both shading and light-emitting diode (LED) treatments. Plant growth parameters (i.e., leaf area, dry matter, and number of leaves between inflorescences) and flower development data [i.e., time from flower beginning to full bloom (FB), time from transplanting to flowering (TB), and bud number (BN)] were recorded. As expected, flower development was enhanced when exposed to LED light and was delayed when shaded. Within each cultivar, a strong relationship between lighting environment and uniformity of flower development was also detected. In both experiments, TB and BN showed less variation when exposed to high light intensity compared with low intensity. This trend was true for other parameters as well, including dry matter, leaf area, and number of leaves between inflorescences. However, there were no significant differences in FB between the shading and LED treatments. The results show that strawberry growth and flower development were highly variable in a low light environment. In addition to light being an important factor in inflorescence initiation and high yield production, the results of this study also show that the amount of light supplied is an important factor in maintaining uniform flowering in forcing culture.

Published: April 2020

We report on non equilibrium field effect in insulating amorphous NbSi thin films having different Nb contents and thicknesses. The hallmark of an electron glass, namely the logarithmic growth of a memory dip in conductance versus gate voltage curves, is observed in all the films after a cooling from room temperature to 4.2~K. A very rich phenomenology is demonstrated. While the memory dip width is found to strongly vary with the film parameters, as was also observed in amorphous indium oxide films, screening lengths and temperature dependence of the dynamics are closer to what is observed in granular Al films. Our results demonstrate that the differentiation between continuous and discontinuous systems is not relevant to understand the discrepancies reported between various systems in the electron glass features. We suggest instead that they are not of fundamental nature and stem from differences in the protocols used and in the electrical inhomogeneity length scales within each material.

Insulin U-500, the Practical Solution for the treatment of Patients with High Insulin Requirements
Authors: Mikhail Nasser
Published: April 2020

Background:

Human regular insulin 500 (U-500) is 5 five times more concentrated than the
traditional regular human insulin (U-100). Thus, every 1 ml of U-500 contains 500 units of insulin as
opposed to 100 units/ml with most types of insulin.

Methods:

Review of all the relevant clinical studies related to insulin U-500 until February 12, 2020.

Results:

Insulin U-500 is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes who require more than 200 units of
insulin per day. Insulin U-500 has both prandial and basal actions, and can be injected as monotherapy
in a convenient twice-daily regimen. Available data suggest that insulin U-500 is effective, associated
with better compliance, and decreased injection pain compared with non-concentrated insulins. Its main
limitations are hypoglycemia and weight gain, and the possibility of dosing errors.

Conclusions:

Overall, insulin U-500 is an effective and safe treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes
and insulin resistance. Randomized trials are needed to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of insulin
U-500 with other forms of insulin regimens.

Published: April 2020

In this paper, the steady flow and heat transfer of an incompressible electrically conducting micropolar fluid through a parallel plate channel is investigated. The upper and lower plate have been kept at the two constant different temperatures and the plates are electrically insulated. The applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the flow, while the Reynolds number is significantly lower than one i.e. the considered problem is in induction-less approximation. The general equations that describe the discussed problem under the adopted assumptions are reduced to ordinary differential equations and closed-form solutions are obtained. The influences of each of the governing parameters on velocity, heat transfer on the plates (Nusselt number), flow rate and skin friction are discussed with the aid of graphs.

Published: April 2020

Este artigo faz uma avaliação preliminar das contribuições da nova Sudene para o desenvolvimento do Nordeste, com base nas diretrizes políticas estabelecidas a partir de sua recriação, em 2007. Para o estudo, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental para o mapeamento das diretrizes e prioridades da Sudene. Foi realizado ainda uma pesquisa de dados estatísticos secundários para analisar a evolução socioeconômica do Nordeste no período de 2007 a 2017. Para isso, foram utilizados os dados do PIB, do PIB per capita e do índice de Gini do IBGE, e do índice de desenvolvimento humano municipal da Firjan. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que a Sudene recuperou sua importância estratégia na política do governo federal, como demonstra a instituição legal do alinhamento do Plano Regional de Desenvolvimento do Nordeste com o Plano Plurianual, com participação na elaboração do orçamento da União, a fim de garantir recursos para o desenvolvimento da região. Após uma década de sua recriação, é possível verificar avanços socioeconômicos, como o maior crescimento do PIB per capita no país, de 41,5% entre 2007 e 2015, enquanto a média nacional foi de 29%. Houve significativa melhoria no índice de desenvolvimento humano nas dimensões de saúde e de educação, acumulando no período uma variação de 55,7% e 70,5%, respectivamente. Entretanto, são ainda notáveis as limitações desse progresso, uma vez que o PIB per capita ainda é praticamente metade da média nacional e o Nordeste ainda apresenta o maior índice de desigualdade de renda do país.

Pada usaha kerupuk Agus Pekerja bekerja secara membungkuk dan berjongkok pada saat menjemur kerupuk dalam jangka waktu yang lama sehingga dapat menyebabkan kelelahan dan cedera. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat rancangan faslitas kerja yang ergonomi dan mengurangi kelelahan dan resiko cedera dalam bekerja. Metode yang digunakan untuk menganalisis postur tubuh adalah Rapid Entire Body Assesment (REBA) dan dilakukan pengujian hasil REBA secara manual dengan menggunakan software ergofellow. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan wawancara kepada pekerja dan membagikan kuesioner Nordik Body Map (NBM) dan mengambil foto posisi tubuh pekerja pada saat aktivitas penjemuran kerupuk berlangsung. Data antropometri yang digunakan untuk mendesain alat bantu kerja yang dibutuhkan adalah data rata-rata ukuran antropometri orang Indonesia serta dimensionalnya yang diambil dari situs Atropometri Indonesia.org. Nilai skor Rapid Entire Body Assesment (REBA) postur kerja awal diperoleh skor 9, dengan level high atau tinggi posisi kerja ini berisiko tinggi terkena cedera pada otot dan diperlukannya perubahan posisi kerja segera mungkin. Perbaikan postur kerja dengan membuat alat bantu meja jemur kerupuk yang ergonomi, dan dilakukan penilaian portur kerja pekerja menggunakan alat bantu meja jemur kerupuk diperoleh hasil akhir skor REBA 2 dengan level low atau rendah menunjukkan posisi amat dan tidak menimbulkan cedera pada otot. Terdapat penurunan skor REBA sebesar 7 poin dari posisi kerja awal.

PT. Inti Kharisma Mandiri Riau (IKMR) or better known as Haluan Riau is one of the companies engaged in newspaper information. Information on each topic is derived from the facts of events and trusted sources covered by journalists. One of the constraints faced by Haluan Riau is the editorial section, which is the process of recapitulation of news that has not been integrated, namely the editorial secretary recapitulates every news published per day in Microsoft Excel. Then in the news recapitulation process published by every journalist who has not been in accordance with the Riau Procedure's permanent procedures. The prowess of Riau itself has a fixed procedure in the target news published from each of its reporters. Many reporters in the direction of Riau indirectly this causes difficulties in counting the number of news published by each journalist every month. So to overcome this problem will be built an information system for evaluating the performance of journalists in order to help in calculating the news published from each journalist quickly and accurately. Questionnaire data has an average value of 13 total respondents is 40.15 with a total standard deviation of 2,734. so that it can be concluded that the report on the performance of journalists is normally distributed.

Keamanan merupakan salah satu kebutuhan penting manusia. Salah satu contoh penerapan keamanan adalah menutup pintu rumah dan menguncinya ketika akan pergi meninggalkan rumah tanpa ada orang di dalamnya. Namun sebesar apapun usaha manusia untuk mengamankan lingkungan, tetap ada celah untuk merusaknya. Pada penelitian ini dikembangkan alat untuk membantu mengamankan rumah ketika ditinggal penghuninya. Alat ini cukup sederhana dan low cost untuk dibuat, sehingga semua orang bisa membuat atau memilikinya. Ketika aktif, alat ini mendeteksi manusia yang lewat, memfoto, dan mengeluarkan suara untuk memperingatkan manusia tersebut. Foto yang didapat bisa digunakan untuk barang bukti pengadilan jika ternyata aktivitas manusia tersebut ilegal dan merugikan pemilik rumah. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa alat ini bekerja sempurna dengan jangkauan deteksi hingga 6 meter.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do uso de larvas predadoras da ordem Odonata (família Libellulidae) associado ao BTI na redução larval de mosquitos. Foi testada a hipótese de que na presença de larvas de predadores haveria aumento na mortalidade de larvas de A. aegypti causada pelo efeito sinergético do BTI juntamente com o predador. Larvas de A. aegypti e libélulas (Odonata: Libellulidae) foram oriundas de colônia laboratorial e coletas em campo, respectivamente. Os microcosmos contituiam-se de recipientes com capacidade para 300mL contendo 100mL de água com densidades de 100, 200, e 300 larvas de A. aegypti e uma larva do predador. Os tratamentos, BTI e BTI + Predador receberam 0,01ppm de BTI. O controle recebeu apenas as larvas de A. aegypti. Os resultados mostraram um efeito significativo do tratamento BTI + Predador apenas na menor densidade, elucidando o aparecimento de um efeito sinergético. Para as densidades de 200 e 300 larvas este efeito não foi observado. O aumento da densidade larval aumentou a taxa de predação, enquanto o efeito do BTI sobre a mortalidade diminuiu. Nossos resultados mostram que o efeito sinergético existe, mas que fatores dependentes da densidade podem ocultar tal efeito.

Video link: Our people, our food, our planet: Sustainable food systems policy in the Pacific

Pacific Island Countries and Territories are facing a health crisis with non communicable diseases (NCDs) currently accounting for more than 80% of deaths. In the 21st century, advances in health intervention and policy render this figure unacceptable. Multiple risk factors contribute to the NCD crisis; a leading driver being obesity due to changing dietary practices arising from the global food system. A system  which is dominated by processed foods high in starch and sugars. This situation is compounded by changes in the natural and built environments relating to climate change. Tackling this issue is beyond the sole domain of public health and is, therefore, more suited to a planetary health approach. This paper applies a sustainable food systems approach to analysing NCD policy developments in the Pacific region. In particular, three domains of policy which impact diets in the Pacific are examined: food production, climate change and sustainability, and trade. It is argued that countering the NCD crisis demands a global multisectoral approach, with governments leading the way, to develop integrated policy and interventions that will secure the future wellbeing and protection of our people, our food, our planet.

La lógica del crimen: Patricia Highsmith
Authors: Ramón Arana José
Published: April 2020

ResumenDesde la perspectiva de una teoría de la acción hay tres tipos de narrativa criminal: la del detective, que busca la aclaración de un asesinato y en la que el lector se identifica con el detective; la de la víctima, que está aún por escribir, la del criminal: es la de Patricia Highsmith, en donde asistimos a la comisión del crimen. Se estudia su lógica (un crímen lleva siempre a otro crímen)., la función de la cotidianidad, los problemas de la identidad, el sexo, la corrupción, y la dificultad de la identificación del lector con alguno de los componentes de la novela.PALABRAS CLAVEHIGHSMITH-CRIMEN-CORRUPCIÓN-IDENTIDADABSTRACTFrom the perspective of an action - theory, there are three types of criminal narrative: the one from the detective´s point of view, which searches the clarifiction of the murder; the one from the victim´s point of view, which has not been written jet; the one from the criminal: the one of Patricia Highsmith, in which we are present at the murder scene.
