An approach to partial occlusion using deep metric learning
Authors: Thammaiah Chethana Hadya , Nagavi Trisiladevi Chandrakant
Published: January 2022

The human face can be used as an identification and authentication tool in biometric systems. Face recognition in forensics is a challenging task due to the presence of partial occlusion features like wearing a hat, sunglasses, scarf, and beard. In forensics, criminal identification having partial occlusion features is the most difficult task to perform. In this paper, a combination of the histogram of gradients (HOG) with Euclidean distance is proposed. Deep metric learning is the process of measuring the similarity between the samples using optimal distance metrics for learning tasks. In the proposed system, a deep metric learning technique like HOG is used to generate a 128d real feature vector. Euclidean distance is then applied between the feature vectors and a tolerance threshold is set to decide whether it is a match or mismatch. Experiments are carried out on disguised faces in the wild (DFW) dataset collected from IIIT Delhi which consists of 1000 subjects in which 600 subjects were used for testing and the remaining 400 subjects were used for training purposes. The proposed system provides a recognition accuracy of 89.8% and it outperforms compared with other existing methods.
A sociologia católica de Alceu Amoroso Lima contra a sociologia durkheimiana no Brasil
Authors: Carvalho Filho Juarez Lopes
Published: January 2022

A fundação da sociologia por Durkheim assiste na França ao retorno da filosofia tomista, resultado de uma “estranha aliança” entre a Igreja católica e os intelectuais. Buscando impedir o avanço das ciências sociais, em especial da sociologia durkheimiana, e estabelecer  o catolicismo social, a “sociologia católica” encontra seus fundamentos no tomismo e no  ensino social de Leão xiii. Após situar a tensão entre sociologia católica e sociologia  durkheimiana na França, o artigo objetiva analisar os mecanismos de difusão do  neotomismo francês no Brasil, e suas influências na formação de uma sociologia católica  brasileira; identificar os agentes sociais e os órgãos que contribuíram com a  profissionalização do ensino da sociologia. De cunho histórico e bibliográfico, ele se inscreve numa sociologia dos intelectuais, consagrando um lugar especial a Alceu Amoroso Lima, figura central no corpus da tradição intelectual católica brasileira. A pesquisa conclui que Amoroso Lima se alinha aos católicos sociais franceses por sua origem social, sua trajetória no espaço acadêmico, que combina fracassos universitários e reconversão do capital social e simbólico; e sua inscrição no campo filosófico ligado ao espiritualismo bergsoniano no início e, mais tarde, ao neotomismo de Maritain. Tais prerrogativas lhe dão direito de entrar no campo das ciências sociais rivalizando com a sociologia acadêmica em via de institucionalização.
Três lugares para a crise de legitimidade da ciência
Authors: Freitas Renan Springer de
Published: January 2022

Neste ensaio defende-se a tese de que a “crise de legitimidade” da ciência é um fenômeno para o qual podem existir três lugares: o mundo celestial a que nos conduzem os escritos de autores como José Ortega y Gasset, Karl Jaspers, Johan Huizinga e Edmund Husserl; o mundo dantesco a que nos levam os escritos do filósofo da ciência Paul Feyerabend; e o mundo da realidade terrena a que nos conduzem os escritos de cientistas que reagem a uma situação de aberta hostilidade à ciência. Neste último caso, o termo “crise” não exprime uma desilusão pessoal com a ciência (como nos casos de Ortega y Gasset, Jaspers e Huizinga), nem as idiossincrasias de um sistema filosófico (como no caso de Husserl), nem as consequências funestas de uma bem-intencionada utopia libertária (como no caso de Feyerabend), mas uma redefinição dos caminhos a serem tomados por diferentes disciplinas científicas. Isso aconteceu na Alemanha da República de Weimar, a rigor o único lugar em que já existiu o que pode ser apropriadamente chamado de crise de legitimidade da ciência.
Legitimidade e obediência: diálogos da Criminologia com a Teoria sociológica
Authors: Natal Ariadne , Castelo Branco Frederico , Alvarez Marcos Cesar
Published: January 2022

O artigo discute concepções de legitimidade e de obediência sugeridas por algumas  abordagens da teoria social. Dispõe-se a problematizar perspectivas que examinam tais  noções no âmbito de pesquisas sociológicas e criminológicas, com foco em análises de  instituições de segurança e de justiça. Partindo dos escritos de Weber sobre ordens legítimas e os tipos de dominação, exploramos as propostas de operacionalização da legitimidade elaboradas por Beetham e Coicaud. Em seguida, introduzimos o debate de criminólogos contemporâneos como Tyler, Bottoms e Tankebe, que se focam na legitimidade das leis e da polícia. Por fim, discutimos os entraves para a mensuração da legitimidade e apresentamos solução adotada no contexto brasileiro.

A dedicação de um tempo “de qualidade” aos filhos: análise de um enunciado recorrente
Authors: Catani Júlia , Lima Ana Laura Godinho
Published: January 2022

O texto examina os discursos dos pediatras e outros especialistas destinados às famílias sobre como organizar o tempo com os filhos. Inicialmente, a análise incide sobre manuais de puericultura publicados nas décadas de 1920 a 1950 e em seguida sobre a revista Pais & Filhos nos últimos cinco anos, com destaque para o contexto atual da pandemia de COVID-19. A análise detém-se sobre o enunciado segundo o qual o mais importante é reservar um tempo “de qualidade” à convivência com as crianças. O artigo identifica alguns fios de continuidade nas formulações sobre a organização do tempo na rotina familiar, bem como descontinuidades instauradas pelas transformações da vida social, as quais produziram mudanças na gestão do tempo para a conciliação de múltiplas tarefas, principalmente para as mulheres.
Comunidade de aprendizado na pós-graduação: cursos preparatórios em uma dialogia que nasce da solidariedade
Authors: Silva Renata Nascimento da , Barbosa Zilda Martins
Published: January 2022

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão acerca das noções de educação emancipatória, de Paulo Freire, e comunidade de aprendizado, de bell hooks, a partir da ação coletiva de Cursos Preparatórios para Pós-graduação (CPP). Ademais, questiona a dificuldade de acesso de estudantes negros aos programas de mestrado e doutorado das universidades públicas, compreendidas como locus do saber de uma elite fundada no método racional da ciência e na defesa da meritocracia. As mobilizações estudantis incidem, portanto, sobre o caráter dominante das epistemologias eurocêntricas e a persistência do mérito como a principal forma de justiça social em uma sociedade desigual. O artigo se ancora teoricamente, sobretudo, à proposta da pedagogia dialógica de Paulo Freire e ao pensamento descolonizador de bell hooks.
O teatro na alfabetização de adultos: Paulo Freire em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Silva Carlos Henrique , Bomfim Filomena
Published: January 2022

Este artigo busca confirmar que a utilização do método de alfabetização de adultos de Paulo Freire, aliado ao teatro como prática educomunicativa, configura uma ferramenta eficaz para a alfabetização de adultos, mesmo a distância. Apresenta-se uma metodologia para a alfabetização baseada na experiência de vida do estudante, por meio dos círculos de cultura, da expansão vocabular e do trabalho com as palavras geradoras. A pesquisa analisou adultos com idades entre 40 e 65 anos da Escola Municipal Maria Teresa, em São João del-Rei, que passaram por três níveis de alfabetização: alfabetização midiática; alfabetização por meio de narrativas e da construção de personagens fictícios; e a alfabetização construída a partir da relação com o outro e com o mundo.
Cruzando fronteiras: as obras e o legado de Paulo Freire na Itália
Authors: Manfredi Silvia Maria
Published: January 2022

Este artigo recupera e analisa momentos do exílio de Paulo Freire na Europa. Neste período (1970-1980), as obras de Freire começaram a ser traduzidas e conhecidas em diferentes países do velho continente, conquistando especialmente o público italiano. A difusão das obras de Freire na Itália pode ser identificada em dois períodos históricos distintos: o primeiro sendo os anos 1960 e 1970, em que os temas e as experiências desenvolvidas por Freire no Brasil e na América Latina se ligam ao contexto das lutas e das experiências emancipatórias dos movimentos sociais e culturais italianos durante o contexto de reconstrução econômica, social e política pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial. Já o segundo se dá em 2005 com a criação do Instituto Paulo Freire Itália, que assume o papel de levar adiante a tarefa de custodiar, difundir e reinventar o legado do educador.
O povo que pronuncia seu mundo: Paulo Freire e a superação da cultura do silêncio no semiárido paraibano
Authors: Sousa Claviano Nascimento de , Gouveia Thaynara Policarpo de Souza , Oliveira Diogo Lopes de
Published: January 2022

This study places popular communication and social movements in opposition to the status quo of the Culture of Silence. This article lists seven actions developed by the Working Group on Communications of the Brazilian Semi-Arid Articulation (ASA) between 2020 and 2021 encouraging dialogue between farmers and technicians from social and scientific organizations. With that, it aims to analyze how these practices become an antagonistic force to both Freire’s theory of Culture of Silence and the driving force for the Liberation Theory, contextualizing and structuring the mediation process. The studied actions point to encouraging results in the sense of overcoming oppression to the right to the praxis of dialogue and a process of communicative emancipation of Northeastern people – with all their complexity, diversity, and ways of being.
Vinte anos de fundamentação freireana na produção do Grupo de Pesquisa Comunicação e Educação da Intercom
Authors: Gomes Ana Luísa Zaniboni , Pinheiro Rose Mara
Published: January 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é destacar a presença de Paulo Freire como fundamentação teórica na produção científica do Grupo de Pesquisa Comunicação e Educação, ligado à Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação, entre os anos de 2001 e 2020. Para isso, foram analisados os 847 artigos apresentados em congressos nacionais neste período. Como resultado, a pesquisa aponta que em 41% dos textos há referências ao educador brasileiro – principalmente às obras Extensão ou comunicação?, Pedagogia do oprimido e Pedagogia da autonomia –, especialmente a conceitos como educação bancária, aprendizagem significativa, formação crítica, assim como reflexões sobre interação professor-aluno, diálogo e fundamentos da prática docente.
Paulo Freire e o legado de uma educação partidária em prol da práxis do oprimido
Authors: Valente Lucia de Fatima , Paiva Thalles Valente de
Published: January 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo argumentar a favor de um posicionamento partidário1 à educação, a partir da leitura das obras de Paulo Freire, especialmente Pedagogia do oprimido (1987), A importância do ato de ler (1989) e Pedagogia da autonomia (2002). Com o advento do “Escola sem partido” (2014), houve um aumento considerável de materiais que repercutiram as contradições e os antagonismos latentes da educação, difundidos na imprensa e nas redes sociais. Muitas informações são afirmações críticas ao projeto educacional freiriano, declarações que enfatizam uma educação ultrapassada, subjetivista, anárquica e doutrinária política, contrária a uma educação “livre” e “imparcial”. Em um giro dialético, este artigo defende que o legado de Freire é e deve ser considerado partidário, que a política está na educação e que nenhum “ponto de vista” é “imparcial”, mas parcial na defesa de alguma causa.

Seeing the World From Others’ Perspective: 14-Month-Olds Show
Altercentric Modulation Effects by Others’ Beliefs
Authors: Kampis Dora , Kovács Ágnes Melinda
Published: January 2022

Humans have a propensity to readily adopt others’ perspective, which often influences their behavior even when it seemingly should not. This altercentric influence has been widely studied in adults, yet we lack an understanding of its ontogenetic origins. The current studies investigated whether 14-month-olds’ search in a box for potential objects is modulated by another person’s belief about the box’s content. We varied the person’s potential belief such that in her presence/absence an object was removed, added, or exchanged for another, leading to her true/false belief about the object’s presence (Experiment 1, n = 96); or transformed into another object, leading to her true/false belief about the object’s identity (i.e., the objects represented under a specific aspect, Experiment 2, n = 32). Infants searched longer if the other person believed that an object remained in the box, showing an altercentric influence early in development. These results suggest that infants spontaneously represent others’ beliefs involving multiple objects and raise the possibility that infants can appreciate that others encode the world under a unique aspect.
“Everyone Thought My Library Assistant was My Mum”. Visually Impaired and Blind Students’ Experiences of Interactions with Support and Other Staff in Higher Education
Authors: Croft Emma
Published: January 2022

This article explores visually impaired (vi) and blind students’ experiences of support as an undergraduate student in UK higher education (he) by focusing specifically on relationships and interactions between vi and blind students and support staff within Higher Education. Participants within this research show how their experiences highlight an uneven and often exclusionary Higher Education landscape. Constructions of disability and impairment show a complex relationship between support provision as it is offered and experienced. The findings overall suggest the experience of support is more than the placing together of student and support worker and concerns the management of this relationship, particularly around underlying assumptions about being vi. Support is not unnecessary or unwelcome, instead, the complexity of the relationship, the additional work associated with support experienced by these students, combine to shape academic experience.

Published: January 2022

The Chinese soft scale species in the genus Coccus Linnaeus, 1758 (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) were studied. Coccus cambodiensis Takahashi and the Malaysian species C. cameronensis Takahashi are considered to be non-congeneric with Coccus hesperidum Linnaeus, 1758, the type species of Coccus, and are transferred to Prococcus Avasthi, 1993, as Prococcus cambodiensis (Takahashi, 1942), comb. n. and Prococcus cameronensis (Takahashi, 1952), comb. n. The generic diagnosis of Prococcus is revised. In the genus Coccus, two new species are described and illustrated based on adult females: Coccus nanningensis Cao & Feng, sp. n. from Guangxi, China, on Ficus carica (Moraceae), and Coccus cephalotaxus Cao & Feng, sp. n. from Shannxi, China, on Cephalotaxus sinensis (Taxaceae). Identification keys to separate adult females of Prococcus from Coccus, the 14 species of Coccus found in China, and all three species of Prococcus are provided.

A Hybrid Bulk Algorithm to Predict Turbulent Fluxes over Dry and Wet Bare Soils

Published: January 2022

Measurements made in the Columbia River basin (Oregon) in an area of irregular terrain during the second Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP2) field campaign are used to develop an optimized hybrid bulk algorithm to predict the surface turbulent fluxes from readily measured or modeled quantities over dry and wet bare or lightly vegetated soil surfaces. The hybrid (synthetic) algorithm combines (i) an aerodynamic method for turbulent flow, which is based on the transfer coefficients (drag coefficient and Stanton number), roughness lengths, and Monin–Obukhov similarity; and (ii) a modified Priestley–Taylor (P-T) algorithm with physically based ecophysiological constraints, which is essentially based on the surface energy budget (SEB) equation. Soil heat flux in the latter case was estimated from measurements of soil temperature and soil moisture. In the framework of the hybrid algorithm, bulk estimates of the momentum flux and the sensible heat flux are derived from a traditional aerodynamic approach, whereas the latent heat flux (or moisture flux) is evaluated from a modified P-T model. Direct measurements of the surface fluxes (turbulent and radiative) and other ancillary atmospheric/soil parameters made during WFIP2 for different soil conditions (dry and wet) are used to optimize and tune the hybrid bulk algorithm. The bulk flux estimates are validated against the measured eddy-covariance fluxes. We also discuss the SEB closure over dry and wet surfaces at various time scales based on the modeled and measured fluxes. Although this bulk flux algorithm is optimized for the data collected during the WFIP2, a hybrid approach can be used for similar flux-tower sites and field campaigns.
A Vertically Resolved MSE Framework Highlights the Role of the Boundary Layer in Convective Self-Aggregation
Authors: Yao Lin , Yang Da , Tan Zhe-Min
Published: January 2022

Convective self-aggregation refers to a phenomenon in which random convection can self-organize into large-scale clusters over an ocean surface with uniform temperature in cloud-resolving models. Previous literature studies convective aggregation primarily by analyzing vertically integrated (VI) moist static energy (MSE) variance. That is the global MSE variance, including both the local MSE variance at a given altitude and the covariance of MSE anomalies between different altitudes. Here we present a vertically resolved (VR) MSE framework that focuses on the local MSE variance to study convective self-aggregation. Using a cloud-resolving simulation, we show that the development of self-aggregation is associated with an increase of local MSE variance, and that the diabatic and adiabatic generation of the MSE variance is mainly dominated by the boundary layer (BL; the lowest 2 km). The results agree with recent numerical simulation results and the available potential energy analyses showing that the BL plays a key role in the development of self-aggregation. Additionally, we find that the lower free troposphere (2–4 km) also generates significant MSE variance in the first 15 days. We further present a detailed comparison between the global and local MSE variance frameworks in their mathematical formulation and diagnostic results, highlighting their differences.
Subseasonal Meteorological Drought Development over the Central United States during Spring
Authors: Jong Bor-Ting , Newman Matthew , Hoell Andrew
Published: January 2022

Diagnosis of rapidly developing springtime droughts in the central United States has mostly been made via numerous individual case studies rather than in an aggregate sense. This study investigates common aspects of subseasonal “meteorological drought” evolution, here defined as persistent precipitation minus evapotranspiration (P− ET) deficits, revealed in early (1 April–15 May) and late (16 May–30 June) spring composites of 5-day running mean JRA-55 reanalysis data for three different central U.S. regions during 1958–2018. On average, these droughts are initiated by a quasi-stationary Rossby wave packet (RWP), propagating from the western North Pacific, which arises about a week prior to drought onset. The RWP is related to a persistent ridge west of the incipient drought region and strong subsidence over it. This subsidence is associated with low-level divergent flow that dries the atmosphere and suppresses precipitation for roughly 1–2 weeks, and generally has a greater impact on the local moisture budget than does reduced poleward moisture transport. The resulting “dynamically driven” evaporative demand corresponds to a rapid drying of the root-zone soil moisture, which decreases around 40 percentiles within about 10 days. Anomalous near-surface warmth develops only after theP− ET deficit onset, as does anomalously low soil moisture that then lingers a month or more, especially in late spring. The horizontal scale of the RWPs, and of the related drought anomalies, decreases from early to late spring, consistent with the climatological change in the Pacific Rossby waveguide. Finally, while this composite analysis is based upon strong, persistentP− ET deficits, it still appears to capture much of the springtime development of “flash droughts” as well.
Intersubjectivity And Analytic Field Theory
Authors: Civitarese Giuseppe
Published: January 2022

Intersubjectivity is the central concept of the relational paradigm, the most widely employed in contemporary psychoanalysis. Yet we do not have a clear definition of it. Usually it is synonymous with “the interpersonal” and thus indicates the interaction that takes place between two already constituted subjects. In this sense it has little to do with the radical social theory of subjectivation suggested by the term, at least originally, in Husserl’s philosophy. In the original meaning of intersubjectivity, as handed down by Husserl and later developed by Merleau-Ponty, the binary opposition between subjectivity and intersubjectivity is dissolved and transformed into a dialectic relationship. To formulate a clear and distinct, but above all specific, definition of intersubjectivity, we need to reclaim this intuition and translate it into coherent principles of technique. It is also essential to verify whether the models of psychoanalysis proffered as intersubjective actually satisfy this parameter. On the basis of these two simple principles, the variants of psychoanalysis that are labeled intersubjective can be placed along a continuum. Examples are given of “weak” and “strong” intersubjectivity. Paradigmatic of the latter pole is the post-Bionian theory of the analytic field.
Successful Non-Operative Management of Extensive Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis Due to Graft Versus Host Disease

Published: January 2022

Graft versus host disease is a serious complication of allogenic stem cell transplants and can manifest with gastrointestinal complications including pneumatosis cystoides intestinali (PCI). A 43-year-old male with a history of acute myeloid leukemia presented to the hospital with abdominal pain and sepsis. The patient was intubated and admitted to the ICU. His CT scan demonstrated extensive colonic pneumatosis. He was high risk for laparotomy so was treated non-operatively. He improved and his abdominal exam remained benign. With aggressive resuscitation, close monitoring, and antibiotics, the patient was able to avoid major abdominal surgery. pneumatosis cystoides intestinali is a concerning finding that often leads to surgical interventions. Concurrent sepsis, gut ischemia, and frank perforation often lead to surgical intervention. In patients with high surgical risk and lack of critical bowel findings, non-operative management can be successful.
Does Breast Cancer Subtype Impact Margin Status in Patients Undergoing Partial Mastectomy?

Published: January 2022

Background

Molecular subtype in invasive breast cancer guides systemic therapy. It is unknown whether molecular subtype should also be considered to tailor surgical therapy. The present investigation was designed to evaluate whether breast cancer subtype impacted surgical margins in patients with invasive breast cancer stage I through III undergoing breast-conserving therapy.

Methods

Data from 2 randomized trials evaluating cavity shave margins (CSM) on margin status in patients undergoing partial mastectomy (PM) were used for this analysis. Patients were included if invasive carcinoma was present in the PM specimen and data for all 3 receptors (ER, PR, and HER2) were known. Patients were classified as luminal if they were ER and/or PR positive; HER2 enriched if they were ER and PR negative but HER2 positive; and TN if they were negative for all 3 receptors. The impact of subtype on the margin status was evaluated at completion of standard PM, prior to randomization to CSM versus no CSM. Non-parametric statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Version 26.

Results

Molecular subtype was significantly correlated with race ( P = .011), palpability ( P = .007), and grade ( P < .001). Subtype did not correlate with Hispanic ethnicity ( P = .760) or lymphovascular invasion ( P = .756). In this cohort, the overall positive margin rate was 33.7%. This did not vary based on molecular subtype (positive margin rate 33.7% for patients with luminal tumors vs 36.4% for those with TN tumors, P = .425).

Discussion

Molecular subtype does not predict margin status. Therefore, molecular subtype should not, independent of other factors, influence surgical decision-making.
Rozycki-Feliciano Lecture Rudolph Matas, the Father of Vascular Surgery
Authors: Field Richard J.
Published: January 2022

Rudolph Matas (1860-1957) was one of the foremost figures in the history of vascular surgery. He is considered the father of vascular surgery for his operations for arteriovenous fistula and peripheral artery aneurysm, all devised before the isolation of heparin and the wide adoption of techniques for vascular anastomosis. A medical and surgical prodigy, Matas received his medical degree from Tulane University at age 19 (1880) and was named its chair of surgery at 35 (1895), a position he would hold until 1927. A contemporary and friend of Halsted, Matas throughout his career was known as a leader in the field, holding the presidencies of the American College of Surgeons (1925-1926) and the American Surgical Association (1909). He maintained loyal relationships to those who trained in surgery with him at Touro Hospital in New Orleans, including the author’s grandfather, the first Richard J. Field. Matas was an honored guest at the dedication of the Centreville Clinic in 1928, the facility where three generations of Field surgeons have provided continuous service to its rural Mississippi community for nearly a century.
Reality of presence in virtually mediated sacramentality: has sacramental theology sustained us?
Authors: Larson-Miller Lizette
Published: January 2022

The global pandemic has impacted the liturgical life of the church by forcing worshiping communities to turn to online liturgies in lieu of gathering together as the body of Christ in one place and time. But the ongoing theological reflection has been particularly concerned with sacramental liturgy online. How can incarnate matter-filled ecclesial sacraments be celebrated without being “in-person”? This article suggests that the ritual and sacramental effects of the pandemic brought an already-existing lack of catechesis on sacramental theology to the surface by exploring two connected conversations: on the one hand, eucharistic theology and the meaning of “real presence” in a time of Internet religion, and on the other hand, the effects of the insidious inculturation of consumerism and commodification highlighted in the “liturgy on demand” world of online ritual and ritual online.
Nurses’ Attitudes Towards Death and Its Relationship With Anxiety Levels
Authors: Duran Songul , Polat Selda
Published: January 2022

This study examined nurses’ attitudes towards death, anxiety levels, and socio-demographic characteristics affecting their attitudes towards death. Three hundred and eighty-four nurses participated in the study. A questionnaire form, the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R), and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire were applied to the nurses. Nurses’ attitudes towards death were positive and their level of fear of death was low. Approach acceptance was high in younger ones; the escape acceptance score was higher in single ones. The neutral acceptance score was higher in those who received training on death. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between nurses' anxiety level and escape acceptance score. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the length of working years of nurses and the escape acceptance and approach acceptance. Nurses should be prepared for and supported on death with in-service training. It will be useful to provide these training programs to nursing students during their education process.
Psychological consequences and daily life adjustment for victims of intimate partner violence
Authors: Cirici Amell Roser , Soler Aloma Riera , Cobo Jesus , Soldevilla Alberti Joan Miquel
Published: January 2022

Introduction

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a distressing reality worldwide. Victims of IPV usually experience long-term mental health disorders and maladjustments in their daily lives.

Aims

To examine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder in female victims of IPV that participated in a public mental health care program, and to analyze the relationships between the type of IPV exposure, its psychological consequences, and daily life adjustment.

Method

Up to 164 female victims of IPV referred by their primary care doctors to the Adult Mental Health Casntre of Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona) between 2010 and 2016 were evaluated using several tests (Index of Spouse Abuse - ISA, Beck Depression Inventory - BDI-II, Sate-Trait Anxiety Inventory - STAI, the Maladjustment Scale - MS, and the Severity Symptom Scale for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder - EGS).

Results

Of the 164 referred women, 102 (62.2%) agreed to participate (mean age 44.98 years, range 19–71) and 73% scored above the cut-off point in the physical IPV dimension (ISA). Moreover, 73% had depression symptoms, 77% trait anxiety, and 87% state anxiety altered scores. Prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder was also high (87%). IPV interfered significantly in all the aspects of the daily lives of 92% of the sample.

Conclusions

The participants of the study experienced many psychological symptoms and a high level of interference with all aspects of their daily lives. These consequences were of similar magnitude amongst victims of emotional abuse compared to those who suffered physical violence.
Consensus on Constraints in Marital Satisfaction Among Married People in African Context
Authors: Mwansisya Tumbwene E. , Mwampagatwa Ipyana H.
Published: January 2022

Marriage is considered as the most important social institution and symbol of adulthood in Africa. However, the trend of divorce has increased alarmingly in recent years. We explored the constraints towards marital satisfaction by using the Delphi technique with assumptions that couples are the experts on their marriages. Participant’s panel included married heterosexual couples divided into two groups: men and women couple’s panels. The group of women’s panel included 31 participants and men’s panel contained 25 males. Then in the final stage, both groups provided their views and discussed on the possible solutions to the identified constraints. Five major themes emerged: satisfaction in sexuality among couples, difficulties in communication, economic and financial conflicts, the role of extended families, and opportunity for behavioural change to achieve marital satisfaction. Our findings support the hypothesis that satisfaction with sexual intercourse, respectful communication, financial stability and careful handling of relatives influence marital satisfaction.

Authors: Amanian Ameen , Phulka Jobanjit , Hu Amanda C.
Published: January 2022

Objective

Electronic cigarettes (E‐cigs) are nicotine delivery systems with increasing popularity. The US Food and Drug Administration defines side effects as unwanted or unexpected events or reactions. Our objective was to examine the unintended otolaryngology‐related side effects associated with E‐cigs.

Data Sources

Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and CENTRAL databases.

Review Methods

Study selection was independently performed by 2 authors in accordance with the PRISMA‐ScR statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews); discrepancies were resolved by the senior author. English studies from database inception to May 1, 2020, with a sample size >5 were included. In vitro, animal, and lower respiratory tract studies were excluded. The main outcome was defined as otolaryngology‐related side effects following E‐cig use. Levels of evidence per the Oxford Centre for Evidence‐Based Medicine were used to determine study quality.

Results

From 1788 articles, 32 studies were included. The most common unintended side effects were throat irritation (n = 16), cough (n = 16), mouth irritation (n = 11), and oral mucosal lesions (n = 8). A large proportion of participants also reported conventional tobacco use in addition to E‐cigs. Eight studies investigated the effectiveness of vaping on smoking cessation. The quality of the literature was level 2 to 4. Given the significant heterogeneity in the studies, meta‐analysis was not performed.

Conclusion

The most reported side effects were throat and mouth irritation, followed by cough. The long‐term impact of E‐cigs is not known given the recent emergence of this technology. Future studies are warranted.
Changes in global and relationship-specific attachment working models

Published: January 2022

Attachment theorists suggest that people construct a number of distinct working models throughout life. People develop global working models, which reflect their expectations and beliefs concerning relationships in general, as well as relationship-specific working models of close others—their mothers, fathers, romantic partners, and friends. The present research investigated the interplay of these different working models over time. We analyzed longitudinal data collected from 4,904 adults (mean age = 35.24 years; SD = 11.63) who completed between 3 and 24 online survey assessments (median test–retest interval = 35 days). Using latent growth curve modeling, we examined the associations among both long-term changes and short-term fluctuations in participants’ working models. Our findings suggest that different working models not only change together over the long run, but also exhibit co-occurring, short-term fluctuations. This was true concerning the associations between global and relationship-specific models as well as among different relationship-specific models.

Published: January 2022

Objective

Dihydromyricetin (DMY), also called Ampelopsin, which was extracted from Ampelopsis grossedentata, has been demonstrated to have a protective effect against cell oxidative injury and cell apoptosis in vitro. In the present study, we tried to study the role of DMY on apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and explore the underlying mechanisms.

Methods

Apoptotic cells were detected by Hematoxylin and Eosin (H.E.) staining, Hoechst 33342 staining, and Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate binding assay. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was estimated through fluorescence assay. The mRNA and protein expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-9, Bcl-2, and Bax were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot.

Results

The results showed that the pretreatment of VSMCs with DMY not only significantly increased cell viability, reduced intracellular ROS release, alleviated the morphological changes of apoptosis, and decreased the apoptosis rate, but also upregulated Bcl-2 expression and downregulated Caspase-3, Caspase-9, Bax expression, and ultimately attenuated the H2O2-stimulated apoptosis.

Conclusion

The inhibition of DMY on VSMC apoptosis may be mediated by ROS scavenging and the activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathway.
Impact of drug-induced Parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia on health-related quality of life in schizophrenia
Authors: Rekhi Gurpreet , Tay Jenny , Lee Jimmy
Published: January 2022

Background:

Both drug-induced Parkinsonism (DIP) and tardive dyskinesia (TD) have been shown to be associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in schizophrenia, but few studies have examined their relative impact.

Aims:

This study aimed to examine and compare the association of DIP and TD with HRQOL in schizophrenia.

Methods:

In total, 903 patients with schizophrenia were assessed on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), and Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). EuroQoL five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L) utility scores were derived from PANSS scores via a previously validated algorithm and used as a measure of HRQOL.

Results:

In total, 160 (17.7%) participants had only DIP, 119 (13.2%) had only TD, and 123 (13.6%) had both DIP and TD. HRQOL was lowest for participants with both DIP and TD, followed by only DIP group, only TD group, and highest in the group with neither condition. HRQOL scores differed significantly between the four groups, F(3, 892) = 13.724, p < 0.001, [Formula: see text] = 0.044). HRQOL of participants having only DIP or both DIP and TD was significantly lower than those having neither condition. There was no significant interaction between the presence of DIP and TD on the association with HRQOL.

Conclusions:

DIP was the main antipsychotic-induced movement disorder associated with a poorer HRQOL in patients with schizophrenia. Therefore, clinicians should focus on prevention, detection, and effective management of DIP to optimize HRQOL in patients with schizophrenia.

Published: January 2022

Aggressive vertebral hemangioma (AVH) is a type of non-neoplastic and congenital developmental abnormality of spinal cord blood vessels. We report the innovative application of three-dimensional (3D) printing-assisted anterior and posterior combined surgery for treating a giant AVH. This could be a novel treatment in the future. A 44-year-old man suffered from persistent neck pain and limited limb mobility for approximately 2 weeks. An imaging examination showed the destruction of C2–4 vertebral bodies, and a giant lesion invaded the spinal cord. He underwent 3D printing-assisted anterior and posterior combined surgery. Postoperatively, his symptoms of persistent neck pain and limited limb mobility were alleviated. An imaging examination showed that internal fixation and the prosthesis were fixed in place, and the spinal canal was unobstructed. Treating a giant AVH by 3D printing-assisted anterior and posterior combined surgery is feasible and effective.
Analytical Model to Estimate Ride Pooling Traffic Impacts by Using the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram
Authors: Bilali Aledia , Fastenrath Ulrich , Bogenberger Klaus
Published: January 2022

Ride pooling services are considered as a customer-centric mode of transportation, but, at the same time, an environmentally friendly one, because of the expected positive impacts on traffic congestion. This paper presents an analytical model that can estimate the traffic impacts of ride pooling on a city by using a previously developed shareability model, which captures the percentage of shared trips in an area, and the existence of a macroscopic fundamental diagram for the network of consideration. Moreover, the analytical model presented also investigates the impact that improving the average velocity of a city has on further increasing the percentage of shared trips in an operation area. The model is validated by means of microscopic traffic simulations for a ride pooling service operating in the city of Munich, Germany, where private vehicle trips are substituted with pooled vehicle trips for different penetration rates of the service. The results show that the average velocity in the city can be increased by up to 20% for the scenario when all private vehicle trips are substituted with pooled vehicle trips; however, the improvement is lower for smaller penetration rates of ride pooling. The operators and cities can use this study to quickly estimate the traffic impacts of introducing a ride pooling service in a certain area and for a certain set of service quality parameters.
Toward an Empowerment Model of Community Education in China
Authors: Zhang Yong , Perkins Douglas D.
Published: January 2022

We define community education as organized lifelong learning through voluntary participation in collective efforts to critically address both individual and community needs. Community education has roots in European folk schools, United States participatory democracy, and Latin American “popular education.” Community education developed more recently in China in response to Learning Society and Lifelong Education policy. We present a new framework of community education that includes a theoretical component, emphasizing learning and participation principles. The organizational component includes traditional and nontraditional schools and other local organizations engaged in community education. The program component includes community service, empowerment, and combined models. We also apply the framework to an ecological-psychopolitical model of community education, which considers multilevel (individual, organizational, community/societal) processes of liberation or empowerment across four environmental domains or forms of capital: sociocultural, physical, economic and political. We conclude by examining two brief ethnographic case studies of community education in Shanghai, China.
Semantic City Planning Systems (SCPS): A Literature Review
Authors: von Richthofen Aurel , Herthogs Pieter , Kraft Markus , Cairns Stephen
Published: January 2022

This review focuses on recent research literature on the use of Semantic Web Technologies (SWT) in city planning. The review foregrounds representational, evaluative, projective, and synthetical meta-practices as constituent practices of city planning. We structure our review around these four meta-practices that we consider fundamental to those processes. We find that significant research exists in all four metapractices. Linking across domains by combining various methods of semantic knowledge generation, processing, and management is necessary to bridge gaps between these meta-practices and will enable future Semantic City Planning Systems.

Published: January 2022

To date, research on social reactions to dating and sexual violence (DSV) disclosure has largely neglected the perspective of disclosure recipients. Moreover, few studies have explored disclosure recipients’ perceptions of the victim and perceptions of their own effectiveness in helping as well as the correlates of these perceptions. The purpose of this study was to address these gaps in the literature. Participants were 783 college students (73.0% female) who reported receiving a DSV disclosure in the past 6 months. Participants who provided more negative social reactions to victim disclosures were less likely to empathize with the victim and more likely to feel victim blame/burdensomeness and confusion/ineffectiveness in their responses. Conversely, those providing more positive social reactions were more likely to empathize with the victim and were less likely to report victim blame/burdensomeness and confusion/ineffectiveness. Further, recipients with a DSV victimization history were more likely to report empathy for the victim. Being a man and having higher post-traumatic stress symptoms were associated with greater victim blame/burdensomeness, while the victim approaching the recipient to disclose and DSV experiences that occurred long ago were associated with lower victim blame/burdensomeness. Finally, depressive symptoms, receiving disclosures from a stranger/casual friend, and less frequent discussion about the incident were significantly associated with increased confusion/ineffectiveness. These findings suggest that perceptions of the victim and helping effectiveness, and factors associated with them, may be promising targets of programs seeking to reduce negative and increase positive social reactions to DSV disclosures.
