Authors: Silva Leite Filipe Augusto , Senna Araújo Brito André
Published: May 2022

Objetivo: Comparar os efeitos dos curativos com prata versus curativos sem prata na redução do exsudato em feridas. Tendo em vista o surgimento, nos últimos anos, dos curativos de prata no tratamento de feridas exsudativas, tornando válido o levantamento das evidências sobre esse fato. Método: Este trabalho é uma revisão sistemática norteada pelas diretrizes do Prisma, utilizando a base de dados MedLine/Pubmed, SciELO e busca manual. Ensaios clí­nicos randomizados em inglês, português e espanhol foram incluí­dos, comparando curativos com prata e sem prata na redução da exsudação da ferida. O CONSORT foi utilizado como método de avaliação da qualidade dos artigos, incluindo os com pontuação de pelo menos 70%. Resultados: foram encontrados quatro estudos que compararam o uso de curativos de prata para reduzir a exsudação da ferida. Todos apresentaram superioridade em favor dos curativos de prata devido í  diminuição do ní­vel de exsudato. Os principais riscos de viés considerados são os de desgaste, publicação, detecção e desempenho. Conclusão: O tratamento com curativos de prata mostrou-se superior ao tratamento com curativos que não utilizam prata na redução da exsudação em queimaduras, feridas cirúrgicas, úlceras, pés diabéticos e infectados. Entretanto, estudos com maior valor amostral ainda são necessários para esclarecer uma melhor abordagem.

Klassidentitet vid seklets slut

Class identity at the end of the centuryThere has been a long term decline in working class identity in Sweden since the fifties, but now, in the late nineties, there has been a strong shift upwards. This can be seen in two Swedish survey data sets from 1993 and 1997. Data also show a widening gap between classes regarding class identity and other class related beliefs and opinions. These findings can be interpreted as an increasing class polarization concerning ideological orientations. Former strong associations between class and such orientations have become even stronger. Class voting has weakened in absolute terms (i.e. using the Alford index) when comparing the working and middle classes. However, if you control for class identity there is a remarkably strong class voting tendency when using odds ratios as a measure of relative class voting. Class voting is also highly dependent on class origin. Workers with working class origin and working class identity have a very pronounced tendency to support socialist parties compared to their middle class opposites. Such a comparison gives an unusually high score on the Alford index. The idea of ”the death of class” can find no support in these findings, on the contrary the class society seems to hold a real firm grasp of its citizens.
The sustainability revolution
Authors: Burns Tom R.
Published: May 2022

The Sustainability revolution: A societal paradigm shift – ethos, innovation, governance transformationThis paper identifies several key mechanisms that underlie major paradigm shifts. After identifying four such mechanisms, the article focuses on one type of transformation which has a prominent place in the sustainability revolution that the article argues is now taking place. The transformation is piecemeal, incremental, diffuse – in earlier writings referred to as ”organic”. This is a more encompassing notion than grassroots, since the innovation and transformation processes may be launched and developed at multiple levels through diverse mechanisms of discovery and development. Major features of the sustainability revolution are identified and comparisons made to the industrial revolution.

Work in Sweden 1974–2010
Authors: Le Grand Carl , Tåhlin Michael
Published: May 2022

This article traces work-life evolution in Sweden during recent decades against the backdrop of long-run structural change tied to class and gender. We examine the development of four key labor market features: (a) occupational sex segregation, (b) gender gaps in job quality, (c) skill upgrading and mismatch, and (d) youth employment. While occupational and educational upgrading is beneficial for most people, some groups face waning work-life prospects. Maintaining social inclusion is the great challenge for the future.
Female same-sex couples act long-term financially rational?
Authors: Evertsson Marie , Boye Katarina
Published: May 2022

One of the challenges faced by research on the gendered transition to parenthood is how to dismantle the interconnected nature of biology, gender and economic reasoning. We contribute to this aim by comparing division of parental leave in different-sex couples (DSC) and female same-sex couples (SSC). Motherhood identity formation appears to be strong in DSC as well as SSC. Net of this, gender is an important predictor of parental leave in DSC. To some extent, SSC seem to divide the leave in a more long-term financially rational way than DSC do.
Patterns of protest participation are changing
Authors: Wennerhag Magnus
Published: May 2022

Since the late 1960s, participation in political protests has become more common in Sweden. Today, a large majority of Swedes have at one point joined a demonstration or would be willing to join a demonstration, and around six percent of the population participates in a demonstration at least once a year. This article uses survey data to discuss the changing protest patterns in relation to the country’s traditional corporatist political culture, with a focus on which groups participate in contemporary political protests.
Street-gang violence in Swedenis a growing concern
Authors: Rstami Amir
Published: May 2022

Over the past 30 years, Sweden has witnessed a growth in criminal gangs. Gun violence among young males is also on the rise and have only recently gained wide political attention. Street gangs and gun violence are two prevalent, partially overlapping phenomena that constitute social challenges. Empirically supported legal, policy and practical frameworks are needed in order to reduce the prevalence of gangs and gang violence in Sweden. The first step is to recognize that gangs and gang violence are an emerging societal problem and to identify its root causes, organizational dimensions, and operational patterns. In this note, Swedish street gangs and gang violence are briefly discussed.
Constructive resistance to the dominant capitalist temporality
Authors: Sørensen Majken Jul , Wiksell Kristin
Published: May 2022

The logics of capitalist temporality dominate western society today. Drawing on Barbara Adam’s work, we explore two important dimensions of this dominant temporality. Standardised and abstract clock time involves a detachment from seasons and the life-world, closely related to the commodification of time exemplified by expressions like ”time is money”. Many initiatives attempt to challenge the dominance of capitalist temporality, amongst which we present: (1) worker cooperatives that organize work and its temporality as alternatives to capitalism; and (2) timebanks where people exchange services with each other based on time rather than money. We investigate how these illustrative examples differ from the dominant capitalist temporality, and in what ways they depend on the same logic that they resist. The analysis shows that the initiatives divert from the dominant temporality in important aspects, but also reproduce it in other ways. Thereby, this article contributes to theorizing resistance in connection to time and temporality, and gives insights in the potential and elusiveness of constructive resistance to dominant temporality.
Taking back control
Authors: Uggla Ylva
Published: May 2022

This paper examines the core ideas of minimalism as communicated in key writings of a selection of American bloggers and authors who have served as pacesetters for numerous people in several countries. The study examines minimalism based on narrative analysis, drawing on Hartmut Rosa’s critical theory of social acceleration and the concept of constructive resistance. The message the authors convey centres on a lifestyle change that was instigated by the discontent they felt in their previous lives, and they commend minimalism as a means to freedom and autonomy. Although critical of contemporary temporal norms and consumption culture, minimalism is primarily an individual approach to dealing with situations of discontent. This can be understood as a consequence of a more general individualization of society, but it could also be understood in relation to the unclear centre of power in the case of social acceleration. Minimalists can be seen as performing constructive resistance through individual acts without calling for organization or collective mobilization of any kind, and without being particularly challenging or threatening to the system.
Clinical And Dermoscopical Hallmarks Of An Acquired Lymphangiectasia Following Surgery And Radiotherapy Of Breast Cancer
Authors: Mezni Line
Published: May 2022

Acquired lymphangiectasia (AL) is a permanent dilation of lymphatics, which develops after a wide range of scarring processes. The etiopathogenesis of this entity is still unknown but mostly due to lymphatic damage. It was described essentially after surgery and/or radiotherapy for cervical or breast cancers. It is frequently associated with lymphedema. We report an AL in a 45-year-old woman who had undergone a radical mastectomy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. After 2 years of combined therapy, she developed multiple multi-colored vesicles and small papules without lymphoedema. Dermoscopy and skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of lymphangiectasia. Despite being a harmless condition, it arises worrisome thoughts for the patient and the doctor. Hence a deep comprehension of this entity is important to prompt the right diagnosis and comfort the patient.
Hypoglycemia In Diabetics 65 Years And Older Using Ademolus Classification Of Hypoglycemia
Authors: Adegbenga Ademolu B
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Aging is one of the well-recognized risk factor of diabetes mellitus recognized worldwide in literature. Aging at the molecular and cellular level is characterized by the occurrence and accumulation of damage in DNA and RNA protein. This research seeks to answer the question what clinical deduction can be derived from the management of diabetics 65 years and above in African when Ademolus Classification of Hypoglycemia (ACH) is used as a tool in this age bracket?

Methodology: This is a retrospective study of 182 documented hypoglycemic episodes occurring in 64 diabetics attending the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Ikeja in Africa between September 2004 and November 2017, a 13 years period. Exclusion criteria include probable hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia occurring in non-diabetics, hypoglycemia in diabetics aged below 65years were also excluded from the study. Hypoglycemia was defined as blood sugar of 70mg/dl or less whether symptomatic or not.

Result: In all,182 episodes of hypoglycemia were analyzed. 97 episodes from the 22 in patients involved in this study and 85 hypoglycemic episodes from 42 out patients involved in this study.

Discussion: The tendency for elderly diabetic patients 65 years and above to develop hypoglycemia is more with in patient or hospitalized patient management when blood sugar control is intensive compared with outpatient management. Also, from this study, it can be deducted that if diabetics 65 years and older is having life threatening problem with repeated severe hypoglycemia while on insulin or insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents then consider placing them on oral hypoglycemic agents alone

Conclusion: The tendency for elderly diabetic patients 65 years and above to develop hypoglycemia is more with in patient or hospitalized patient.
Comparison Of Regional Circumferential Strain By Different Speckle Tracking Methods With Tagged Mri In Patients With Left Bundle Branch Block
Authors: Lepper Anouk G.W. de
Published: May 2022

Background: The application of speckle tracking echocardiography has shifted towards global longitudinal strain, despite its potential to measure regional strain. Especially in left bundle branch block (LBBB) patients these often complex, regional strain patterns are of importance.

Methods: Twenty-one LBBB patients, with a median LVEF of 29%, were examined by using tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and echocardiography. Circumferential strain curves were measured and correlated by using commercially software (QLAB), an in-house block matching technique (PULS/IT), and MRI. Septal rebound stretch (SRS) was also determined.

Results: Compared with MRI, there is good correlation for both global circumferential strain (r=0.98 and r=0.97 for QLAB and PULS/IT, respectively) and lateral wall circumferential strain (r=0.95 for both techniques). For septal circumferential strain however, correlation with MRI is poor (r=-0.19 and r=0.49 for QLAB and PULS/IT respectively). SRS correlates poorly with MRI irrespective of the method used (r=0.40, r=0.29 for QLAB and PULS/IT respectively). Minimal Fourier regularization of our method (PULS/ITfit) did reduce the standard deviation of error, albeit with reduced correlation for septal strain.

Conclusion: In patients with LBBB, speckle tracking algorithms do not accurately determine septal circumferential strain. Given the need for reliable measure of regional strain, further research and refinement of these contemporary algorithms is needed.

Aluminum hydroxide is a key product for the industrial production of alumiana and aluminium, ceramics insulator and refractories, desiccants, absorbents, flame retardants, filers for plastics and rubbers, catalysts, and various construction materials. The production of these arrays of useful material products is grounded on the multiple thermal decomposition pathways of Al(OH)3, which involve major crystallographic dislocations and many microstructure reconfigurations on variable lines of phase transitions, from the raw material up to large varieties of precursors and commercial grade products. A wide range of literature on this subject is available, and recent reviews cover suitable information about preparation and characterization of different activated alumina products with specific properties and applications. In our previous papers, there was studied the mechanisms of aluminum hydroxide phase transitions, during low temperature calcination, namely, at 260ºC, 300ºC, 400ºC and 600 ºC, under chosen particularly conditions, for promoting the nucleation of the amorphous phases. Collected data suggest that raw aluminum hydroxide; dried, milled and classified is a precursor for the new low temperature activated alumina transition phases, carrying distinctive characteristics and properties, due to products enrichment in amorphous phases. Accordingly, as effects of the main driving factors (temperature and rate of heating, and initial particle size dimension) on the aluminum hydroxide as new precursor, notable changes were observed in products mineral composition, morphology and specific surface area, pore size, pore distribution, and the particle size distribution. Beside, some other secondary effects have to be apprehended. For example, the main phase transition process dinamic factors control over some physical and technical properties of the new products, like: absolute density, brightness, oil absorption capacity and water absorption capacity. The purpose of this work was to continue the characterization of low temperature activation alumina products, and also, to measure the adsorption capacity and to reveal adsorption kinetics mechanisms. Thus, the first step of survey was silver adsorption maximum capacity measurements for all sample prepared by heating the precursor alumina hydroxide, milled and classified as 5 different dimension size fractions to 260, 300, 400 and 600ºC. Hereinafter, four samples, carefully selected as representative for the entire lot of samples, were used for the study of kinetics mechanism and data fitting to the adequate kinetic equations. Confident data validate the pseudo second order kinetic model for the entire activation process, independently of samples heating temperature and particles dimension.

Published: May 2022

This study aims to examine the effect of effectiveness of work culture and internal motivation in improving public services and its implications for the performance of civil servants (ASN) and the performance of the Aceh Selatan Health Office. The intended population was 123 people, and sample members were determined using a census technique where the entire population members were as a sample. Data were analyzed with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) thru AMOS software. The result proves that Work Culture affects Public Service, Internal Motivation affects Public Service, Work Culture affects ASN performance, Internal Motivation affects ASN performance, Work Culture doesn’t affect Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance, Internal Motivation affects Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance, Public Service affects ASN performance, Public Service affects Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance, Public Service fully mediates the Work Culture effect on ASN performance, Public Service partially mediates the Internal Motivation effect on ASN Performance, Public Service fully mediates the Work Culture effect on Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance, and Public Service partially mediates the Internal Motivation effect on Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance. It appears that there is one relationship that does not occur, namely work culture cannot affect Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance. However, although it does not directly affect significantly, work culture can have a role on Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance through public service, thus explaining that public service in the work culture model affects Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance in this research model to function as a full mediator. In addition, public service has also been shown to function as a partial mediator in the model of internal motivation affecting Aceh Selatan Health Office Performance. So the model for improving the performance of the Aceh Selatan Health Office institution is a function of strengthening work culture, increasing internal motivation, increasing public service and also increasing ASN performance.

Published: May 2022

This study was aimed to examine the effect of ethical leadership and career management variables on motivation and satisfaction as well as their impact on employee performance. The survey was conducted PT PLN (Persero) Aceh Regional Main Unit amounting to 276 people. The sampling technique used was probability random sampling, where all members of the population have the same opportunity to be sampled. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to determine the effect of all the variables involved. The result reveals that Ethical leadership affects motivation, Ethical leadership affects job satisfaction, Ethical leadership affects employee performance, Career management affects employee motivation, Career management affects job satisfaction, Career management does not affect employee performance, Motivation affects employee performance, Job satisfaction affects employee performance, Job satisfaction partially mediates ethical leadership effect on employee performance, Job satisfaction fully mediates career management effect on employee performance, Motivation partially mediates ethical leadership effect on the employee performance, and Motivation fully mediates career management effect on employee performance. It can be seen that the function of job satisfaction and motivation when career development is necessary to increase employee performance is to function as a full mediator, and when ethical leadership is necessary to increase employee performance to function as a partial mediator. This is the uniqueness of the test results of this research model. Thus, it concludes that the model for improving employee performance at PT PLN (Persero) Aceh Regional Main Unit is a function of improving ethical leadership and improving career management, as well as increasing motivation and job satisfaction.

Published: May 2022

This current study examines the barriers linked to the supply of bioenergy implementation projects in Ghana. This present study aims to provide an empirical analysis into the barriers to the supply of bioenergy implementation in Ghana and the stringent measures to put in place to mitigate such obstacles. This study utilizes both case study and survey approaches to achieve the research objective. We received 433 respondents from 433 high-ranking staff through questionnaires and expert interviews. Pearson correlation, as well as multiple regression analysis, were employed in this study. The empirical outcome of our research revealed that bioenergy implementation is affected by key barriers such as financial facilities, technical know-how, research data, proper legal framework, and political will. The study suggests that political decisions supporting acceptance and implementation, training and mental ability building, flexible funding mechanisms, and dissemination plans are needed if bioenergy production is to help societies. Also, legislative reform must form a legal framework to protect entrepreneurs and investors willing to invest in bioenergy projects. The contemporary study will help the government endeavor to include bioenergy shareholders in their policy development to integrate the industry’s viewpoint into the process.

Published: May 2022

Herkömmliche Ansätze zur Klassifizierung von Produkten reichen heutzutage nicht mehr aus, um die Vorteilhaftigkeit von Produktportfolios ganzheitlich zu bewerten. Insbesondere logistische Treibergrößen wie die Materialvielfalt oder Rüstzeiten werden bisher typischerweise nicht im Rahmen der Produktportfoliooptimierung genutzt. Dieser Beitrag systematisiert produktseitige Treiber von logistischen Zielgrößen und macht sie einer Nutzung als Klassifizierungsgrößen zugänglich.

 

Nowadays, conventional approaches to classifying products are no longer sufficient to holistically evaluate the benefits of product portfolio configurations. In particular, logistical drivers such as material diversity or setup times have not typically been used in the context of product portfolio optimization. This article identifies product-related drivers of logistical target values and makes them accessible for their use as classification variables.

Digitale Geschäftsmodelle wie Pay-per-Use werden für komplexe Produkte, Prozesse und Dienstleistungen in der Produktionstechnik bislang kaum angewendet. Ein Grund dafür liegt in einem Informationsdefizit auf Leasinggeberseite, insbesondere von notwendigen und sensiblen Produktionsdaten der Maschinennutzer. Dies wirkt hemmend auf eine wissensbasierte Preisbildung und führt zu Geschäftsrisiken. Dieser Beitrag stellt einen neuen Informationspfad mittels eines digitalen Notars vor, also einer technischen Lösung für eine sichere, zustandsabhängige Preisbildung, um dieses Defizit aufzulösen.

 

So far, digital business models such as pay per use have rarely been used for complex products, processes, and services in production technology. One reason for this is a lack of information on the lessor side, especially about the necessary and sensitive production data of the machine operators. This inhibits knowledge-based pricing and results in business risks. This paper presents a new information path by means of a digital notary – a technical solution for secure, condition-based pricing – to resolve this deficit.

Die Modularisierung gilt schon seit Langem als eine der Grundeigenschaften von wandlungsfähigen Produktionssystemen. Die Umsetzung der Modularisierung von Anlagen, Prozessen und der Shopfloor-IT ist bis heute herausfordernd. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Methodik zur Entwicklung von modularisierter Fertigung und der sie steuernden Shopfloor-IT an einem Beispiel in der Montage vorgestellt. Ausgehend von den wirtschaftlichen Zielen erfolgen die gemeinsame Ableitung und Realisierung der Montage- sowie der Shopfloor- IT-Module auf Basis eines integrierten Modells.

 

Modularization has long been considered one of the basic characteristics of adaptable production systems. However, the implementation of modularization of equipment, processes, and shop floor IT is challenging today. This paper presents an integrated methodology for the development of modularized production and the shop floor IT that controls it, using assembly as an example. Starting from the economic goals, the joint development and implementation of the assembly and shop floor IT modules are based on an integrated model.
Rigor y Veracidad en Investigaciones Desarrolladas Según el Enfoque Fenomenológico en el Alcance de la Educación Matemática

Este texto tiene como objetivo presentar comprensiones sobre el rigor y la verdad en la investigación desarrollada en una perspectiva fenomenológica. En este sentido, discutimos este enfoque en investigaciones ubicadas en el ámbito de la Educación Matemática. Para ello, describimos tres investigaciones: una situada en el ámbito de las producciones históricas; otra realizada en la interconexión de espacios de formación, en la que la enseñanza de las matemáticas se desarrolla en los espacios de las aulas hospitalarias; y, aún, una tercera, que se remonta a comprender el entrelazamiento entre afectividad y aprendizaje matemático a partir de lo que se revela en el mundo de la vida. Los contextos de investigación presentados no agotan el tema, pero constituyen un punto de partida para pensar el tratado.
Aspectos metodológicos de una investigación sobre la enseñanza del cálculo con realidad aumentada
Authors: Paulo Rosa Monteiro , Pereira Anderson Luís
Published: May 2022

En este texto, traemos aspectos de una investigación de doctorado en curso que nos permite exponer una posibilidad de, al describir los datos de una investigación fenomenológica, encontrar recursos expresivos que puedan evidenciar la experiencia vivida por alumnos de Licenciatura en Matemática que se envolvieron con tareas sobre contenidos trabajados en la disciplina de Cálculo Diferencial e Integral. Esa vivencia se dio en un curso libre de corta duración, en el cual los contenidos fueron explorados con un aplicativo de Realidad Aumentada: o GeoGebra AR. En este artículo se trae una breve discusión de la temática en que la pregunta de investigación se sitúa, también presentamos la postura asumida en la investigación, la fenomenológica, para hablar de la importancia de la descripción y cómo entendemos la constitución de conocimiento. Como la investigación de la que se desprende la escritura de este texto está en curso, los resultados presentados aquí son parciales y optamos por evidenciar lo que, para nosotros, tiene sentido en términos de movimiento comprensivo de alumnos que participaron del curso. Interpretamos que este movimiento no es preconcebido u orientado conceptualmente, pero, es la acción del cuerpo-propio, potencia expresiva que se instala en el medio circundante.
A new highly regioselective method for the synthesis of water-soluble 1,3,4-trisubstituted derivatives of tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one

In this article, we report a regioselective method for the synthesis of new water-soluble 1,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one derivatives containing sodium methanesulfonate fragment in the first position of the heterocycle. The method is based on the reaction of (1-(3,3-diethoxypropyl)ureido)methanesulfonate with aromatic and heterocyclic nucleophiles. The proposed method is distinguished by the possibility of obtaining a wide range of water-soluble substituted tetrahydropyrimidinone derivatives, the absence of the need to use expensive metal complex catalysts, high product yield, and ease of purification.
PARENTING ALLIANCE MEASURE: FACTOR STRUCTURE IN AN ARGENTINIAN SAMPLE

Parenting alliance refers to those aspects of a relationship between parents that are related to their shared parental responsibilities and are independent from their romantic bond. It reflects the way each member of the parental dyad appraises the other’s strengths and weaknesses as a parent and their joint parenting work. The Parenting Alliance Measure (PAM) was developed to measure this construct reliably, but with limited representation of minorities in its original sample. The aim of this study was to explore the factor structure and psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the complete PAM in an Argentinian sample. Two hundred twenty-seven parents from Buenos Aires completed the PAM. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was completed based on the Unweighted Least Squares estimation method with oblique promax rotation on a polychoric correlation matrix and parallel analysis as the extraction method. Statistical analysis yielded a two-factor solution retaining 18 of the PAM’s initial 20 items that explained 65% of the variance. Each factor was composed of 9 items. Factor 1 was related to respect towards the other parent and Factor 2 to the quality of their communication and teamwork. These results support the use of the PAM with Argentinian samples.
THE INVESTIGATION OF CHANGES IN HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE BEFORE AND AFTER GIVING BIRTH IN A SAMPLE OF ROMANIAN WOMEN

Pregnancy is an important and meaningful period of transition to motherhood. It can be seen as a socially, physically, psychologically, and culturally challenging and transformative period, and may affect women’s physical and mental health. Objectives of this study are to investigate significant differences in health-related quality of life and indicators of mental health in women during pregnancy and after giving birth and to explore the association patterns between these variables during pregnancy and after giving birth. The study included 57 Romanian women enrolled from July 2019 until the end of April 2020 through Facebook groups dedicated to pregnant women and mothers, forums, and support groups. The women completed the set of questionnaires twice: during pregnancy and one month after giving birth. The participants reported significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms in the second semester of pregnancy compared to the assessment conducted one month after giving birth. Physical functioning, affectionate expression, and vitality proved to significantly improve after giving birth. Emotional well-being, social functioning, and cohesion seem to lower significantly after giving birth. The results of the study can be used as a basis for designing, planning, and implementing appropriate interventions for women by healthcare providers and policymakers.
