Key landscapes for conservation land cover and change monitoring, thematic and validation datasets for sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Szantoi Zoltan , Brink Andreas , Lupi Andrea , Mammone Claudio , Jaffrain Gabriel
Published: November 2020

Abstract. Mounting social and economic demands on natural resources increasingly threaten key areas for conservation in Africa. Threats to biodiversity pose
an enormous challenge to these vulnerable areas. Effective protection of sites with strategic conservation importance requires timely and highly
detailed geospatial monitoring. Larger ecological zones and wildlife corridors warrant monitoring as well, as these areas have an even higher degree
of pressure and habitat loss. To address this, a satellite-imagery-based monitoring workflow to cover at-risk areas at various details was
developed. During the program's first phase, a total of 560 442 km2 area in sub-Saharan Africa was covered, from which
153 665 km2 was mapped with eight land cover classes while 406 776 km2 was mapped with up to 32 classes. Satellite imagery was
used to generate dense time series data from which thematic land cover maps were derived. Each map and change map were fully verified and validated
by an independent team to achieve our strict data quality requirements. The independent validation datasets for each key landscape for conservation (KLC) are also described and
presented here (full and teaser datasets are available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.914261, Szantoi et al., 2020a).

Published: November 2020

Abstract. There are international recommendations that the
environment (i.e. wildlife) is assessed for the potential impact of releases
of ionizing radiation. The transfer of radionuclides to wildlife
from media (e.g. soil, water) is usually described using the whole-organism
concentration ratio (CRwo-media), and a number of assessment models use
these values to estimate radiation exposure and risk to wildlife; however,
there are many gaps in knowledge. This paper describes a study conducted in
2015–2016 to sample terrestrial wildlife, soil and water from two forests in
north-eastern England. Sampling was targeted towards species representative of
the International Commission on Radiological Protection's (ICRP) terrestrial
Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs): Wild Grass (Poaceae family), Pine Tree
(Pinaceae family), Earthworm (Lumbricidae family), Bee (Apidae family), Rat
(Muridae family), Deer (Cervidae family) and Frog (Ranidae family);
opportunistic sampling of plant and fungi species was also conducted. The
dataset comprises stable-element concentrations for 30 elements,
radionuclide activity concentrations for K-40 and Cs-137, and radionuclide
and stable-element concentration ratios. These data have significantly
increased the number of CRwo-media values available for the ICRP RAPs
and will contribute to the development of the databases underpinning the
ICRP's environmental protection framework. Data will be included in the
international database of wildlife transfer parameters for radioecological
models and hence are likely to contribute to model developments in the
future. All data and supporting documentation are freely available from the

Last Interglacial sea-level proxies in East Africa and the Western
Indian Ocean
Authors: Boyden Patrick , Weil-Accardo Jennifer , Deschamps Pierre , Oppo Davide , Rovere Alessio
Published: November 2020

Abstract. In this paper, we describe a sea-level database compiled using published Last Interglacial, Marine Isotopic Stage 5 (MIS 5), geological sea-level proxies within Eastern Africa and the Western Indian Ocean (EAWIO). Encompassing vast tropical coastlines and coralline islands, this region has many occurrences of well preserved last interglacial stratigraphies. Most notably, islands almost entirely composed by Pleistocene reefs (such as Aldabra, the Seychelles) have provided reliable paleo relative sea-level indicators and well-preserved samples for U-series chronology. Other sea-level proxies include uplifted marine terraces in the north of Somalia and tidal notches in luminescence limited aeolian deposits in Mozambique. Our database has been compiled using the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS) interface and contains 57 sea-level indicators and 2 terrestrial limiting data points. The database is available open access at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4043366 (Version 1.02) (Boyden et al., 2020).
Pulsed carbon export from mountains by earthquake-triggered
landslides explored in a reduced-complexity model
Authors: Croissant Thomas , Hilton Robert G. , Li Gen , Howarth Jamie , Wang Jin , Harvey Erin L. , Steer Philippe , Densmore Alexander L.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. In mountain ranges, earthquakes can trigger widespread landsliding and mobilise large amounts of organic carbon by eroding soil and vegetation from hillslopes. Following a major earthquake, the landslide-mobilised organic carbon can be exported from river catchments by physical sediment transport processes, or stored within the landscape where it may be degraded by heterotrophic respiration. The competition between these physical and biogeochemical processes governs a net transfer of carbon between the atmosphere and sedimentary organic matter, yet their relative importance following a large landslide-triggering earthquake remains poorly constrained. Here, we propose a model framework to quantify the post-seismic redistribution of soil-derived organic carbon. The approach combines predictions based on empirical observations of co-seismic sediment mobilisation, with a description of the physical and biogeochemical processes involved after the earthquake. Earthquake-triggered landslide populations are generated by randomly sampling a landslide area distribution, a proportion of which is initially connected to the fluvial network. Initially disconnected landslide deposits are transported downslope and connected to rivers at a constant velocity in the post-seismic period. Disconnected landslide deposits lose organic carbon by heterotrophic oxidation, while connected deposits lose organic carbon synchronously by both oxidation and river export. The modelling approach is numerically efficient and allows us to explore a large range of parameter values that exert a control on the fate of organic carbon in the upland erosional system. We explore the role of the climatic context (in terms of mean annual runoff and runoff variability) and rates of organic matter degradation using single and multi-pool models. Our results highlight that the redistribution of organic carbon is strongly controlled by the annual runoff and the extent of landslide connection, but less so by the choice of organic matter degradation model. In the context of mountain ranges typical of the southwest Pacific region, we find that model configurations allow for more than 90 % of the landslide-mobilized carbon to be exported from mountain catchments. A simulation of earthquake cycles suggests efficient transfer of organic carbon out of a mountain range during the first decade of the post-seismic period. Pulsed erosion of organic matter by earthquake-triggered landslides therefore offers an effective process to promote carbon sequestration in sedimentary deposits over thousands of years.
Expanding the limits of laser-ablation U–Pb calcite geochronology
Authors: Kylander-Clark Andrew R. C.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. U–Pb geochronology of calcite by laser-ablation
inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) is an emerging field with
potential to solve a vast array of geologic problems. Because of low levels
of U and Pb, measurement by more sensitive instruments, such as those with
multiple collectors (MCs), is advantageous. However, whereas measurement of
traditional geochronometers (e.g., zircon) by MC-ICPMS has been limited by
detection of the daughter isotope, U–Pb dating of calcite can be limited by
detection of the parent isotope if measured on a Faraday detector. The Nu P3D MC-ICPMS employs a new detector array to measure all isotopes of interest on
Daly detectors. A new method, described herein, utilizes the low detection
limit and high dynamic range of the Nu P3D for calcite U–Pb geochronology and
compares it with traditional methods. Data from natural samples indicate
that measurement of 238U by Daly is advantageous at count rates < 30 000; this includes samples low in U or those necessitating
smaller spots. Age precision for samples run in this mode are limited by
207Pb counts and the maximum U ∕ Pbc. To explore these
limits – i.e., the minimum U, Pb, and U ∕ Pb ratios that can be measured by
LA-ICPMS – a model is created and discussed; these models are meant to serve
as a guide to evaluate potential candidate materials for geochronology. As
an example, for samples necessitating a < 1 Ma uncertainty, a
minimum of ∼ 10 ppb U is needed at a spot size of 100 µm and rep rate of 10 Hz; absolute uncertainty scales roughly with U
concentration.
LUCI-EntEx v1.0: A GIS-based algorithm to determine stream entry
and exit points at boundaries of any given shape
Authors: Jackson Bethanna , Benavidez Rubianca , Miller Keith , Maxwell Deborah
Published: November 2020

Abstract. Increasing attention is turning to moderating the impact of human activity on the environment, both to preserve the intrinsic value of ecosystems and species for their own sake, and to protect the benefits we derive from nature for future generations. Internationally, various regulations and policies are in place or in development to improve our stewardship of the environment and develop more sustainable and resilient management practices. However, policies formulated at national or regional scales are not always suited to enacting targeted and cost-effective approaches at the local scale due to geoclimatic, topographical, or management constraints. The direct monitoring of the local and upstream impacts of every management unit to determine their net impact is a costly practice, thus emphasising the need for modelling approaches to complement limited on-ground measurements. This paper describes and demonstrates tools (LUCI-EntEx v1.0) that automatically identify the fluvial and terrestrial flow of water in and out of a study area, such as a river that enters a farm that is impacted by upstream management, or terrestrial flow coming from neighbouring property. By identifying the stream entry/exit points, the net impact of land management within the study area can be more easily quantified based on the contribution of neighbouring and upstream areas, aiding in the decision-making process. This algorithm also facilitates the identification of inconsistencies in data such as differences between the legal/official catchment boundaries and the hydrological boundaries determined by the representation of terrain and river networks. If such inconsistencies are not resolved, they can cause further error propagation in later stages of the modelling process. Four case studies of New Zealand management units – two at the farm scale and two at the catchment scale – demonstrate the algorithm's utility in determining fluvial and terrestrial entry/exit points and highlighting potential data inconsistencies. The farm case studies also use the Land Utilisation and Capability Indicator (LUCI) framework to demonstrate how this algorithm can be embedded in other models for further value: in this case, we show its potential to improve predictions and enhance management of nutrients and sediment.
Two-stage variational mode decomposition and support vector regression for streamflow forecasting
Authors: Zuo Ganggang , Luo Jungang , Wang Ni , Lian Yani , He Xinxin
Published: November 2020

Abstract. Streamflow forecasting is a crucial component in the
management and control of water resources. Decomposition-based approaches
have particularly demonstrated improved forecasting performance. However,
direct decomposition of entire streamflow data with calibration and
validation subsets is not practical for signal component prediction. This
impracticality is due to the fact that the calibration process uses some
validation information that is not available in practical streamflow forecasting. Unfortunately, independent decomposition of calibration and
validation sets leads to undesirable boundary effects and less accurate forecasting. To alleviate such boundary effects and improve the forecasting
performance in basins lacking meteorological observations, we propose a
two-stage decomposition prediction (TSDP) framework. We realize this
framework using variational mode decomposition (VMD) and support vector
regression (SVR) and refer to this realization as VMD-SVR. We demonstrate experimentally the effectiveness, efficiency and accuracy of the TSDP
framework and its VMD-SVR realization in terms of the boundary effect
reduction, computational cost, and overfitting, in addition to decomposition and forecasting outcomes for different lead times. Specifically, four
comparative experiments were conducted based on the ensemble empirical mode
decomposition (EEMD), singular spectrum analysis (SSA), discrete wavelet
transform (DWT), boundary-corrected maximal overlap discrete wavelet
transform (BCMODWT), autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), SVR,
backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM). The
TSDP framework was also compared with the wavelet data-driven forecasting
framework (WDDFF). Results of experiments on monthly runoff data collected
from three stations at the Wei River show the superiority of the VMD-SVR
model compared to benchmark models.
On the potential of variational calibration for a fully distributed hydrological model: application on a Mediterranean catchment

Published: November 2020

Abstract. Calibration of a conceptual distributed model is challenging due to a number of reasons, which include fundamental (model adequacy and identifiability)
and algorithmic (e.g., local search vs. global search) issues. The aim of the presented study is to investigate the potential of the variational
approach for calibrating a simple continuous hydrological model (GRD; Génie Rural distributed involved in several flash flood modeling applications. This model is defined
on a rectangular 1 km2 resolution grid, with three parameters being associated with each cell. The Gardon d'Anduze watershed (543 km2) is chosen as the study benchmark. For this watershed, the discharge observations at five gauging stations, gridded rainfall and
potential-evapotranspiration estimates are continuously available for the 2007–2018 period at an hourly time step. In the variational approach one looks for the optimal solution by minimizing the standard quadratic cost function, which penalizes the misfit between
the observed and predicted values, under some additional a priori constraints. The cost function gradient is efficiently computed using the adjoint
model. In numerical experiments, the benefits of using the distributed against the uniform calibration are measured in terms of the model predictive
performance, in temporal, spatial and spatiotemporal validation, both globally and for particular flood events. Overall, distributed calibration
shows encouraging results, providing better model predictions and relevant spatial distribution of some parameters. The numerical stability analysis
has been performed to understand the impact of different factors on the calibration quality. This analysis indicates the possible directions for
future developments, which may include considering a non-Gaussian likelihood and upgrading the model structure.
A NOVEL GREEDY GENETIC ALGORITHM TO SOLVE COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM
Authors: Basmassi M. A. , Benameur L. , Chentoufi J. A.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. In this paper, a modified genetic algorithm based on greedy sequential algorithm is presented to solve combinatorial optimization problem. The algorithm proposed here is a hybrid of heuristic and computational intelligence algorithm where greedy sequential algorithm is used as operator inside genetic algorithm like crossover and mutation. The greedy sequential function is used to correct non realizable solution after crossover and mutation which contribute to increase the rate of convergence and upgrade the population by improving the quality of chromosomes toward the chromatic number. Experiments on a set of 6 well-known DIMACS benchmark instances of graph coloring problem to test this approach show that the proposed algorithm achieves competitive results in comparison with three states of art algorithms in terms of either success rate and solution quality.

Published: November 2020

Abstract. The advancement of Internet of things (IoT) has revolutionized the field of telecommunication opening the door for interesting applications such as smart cities, resources management, logistics and transportation, wearables and connected healthcare. The emergence of IoT in multiple sectors has enabled the requirement for an accurate real time location information. Location-based services are actually, due to development of networks, sensors, wireless communications and machine learning algorithms, able to collect and transmit data in order to determine the target positions, and support the needs imposed by several applications and use cases. The performance of an indoor positioning system in IoT networks depends on the technical implementation, network architecture, the deployed technology, techniques and algorithms of positioning. This paper highlights the importance of indoor localization in internet of things applications, gives a comprehensive review of indoor positioning techniques and methods implemented in IoT networks, and provides a detailed analysis on recent advances in this field.

Published: November 2020

Abstract. The current electricity grid is no longer an efficient solution due to increasing user demand for electricity, old infrastructure and reliability issues requires a transformation to a better grid which is called Smart Grid (SG). Also, sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) have facilitated the evolution of traditional electric power distribution networks to new SG, these networks are a modern electricity grid infrastructure with increased efficiency and reliability with automated control, high power converters, modern communication infrastructure, sensing and measurement technologies and modern energy management techniques based on optimization of demand, energy and availability network. With all these elements, harnessing the science of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) methods become better used than before for prediction of energy consumption. In this work we present the SG with their architecture, the IoT with the component architecture and the Smart Meters (SM) which play a relevant role for the collection of information of electrical energy in real time, then we treat the most widely used ML methods for predicting electrical energy in buildings. Then we clarify the relationship and interaction between the different SG, IoT and ML elements through the design of a simple to understand model, composed of layers that are grouped into entities interacting with links. In this article we calculate a case of prediction of the electrical energy consumption of a real Dataset with the two methods Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), given their precision performances.
SPECIFICATION OF LOGISTIC CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY: ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES
Authors: Haddach A.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. This paper is based on the analysis of ninety-six articles published over twenty-one years, between 1991 and 2012 concerning integration of sustainable development objectives into supply chain management. Disciplinary and geographical origin of authors shows a growing interest in the integration of sustainable development in supply chain management for scientific world, but maturity of this subject remains limited and the most of these studies still exploratory. A more in-depth study of these works therefore seems relevant. Analysis of these works highlights several economic, environmental and social concepts which concern the diffusion of sustainable development in daily activities of supply chain like financial performance, productivity, environmental management systems and Human rights. This work will look at the main sustainable development issues which characterize global performance (integration of economic, environmental and social performances) of supply chain and impact of sustainable practices on performances of this chain, as they appear in studied articles.
HUMAN ACTIVITY RECOGNITION BASED ON SMARTPHONE SENSOR DATA USING CNN
Authors: İsmail K. , Özacar K.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. Human activity recognitions have been widely used nowadays by end users thanks to extensive usage of smartphones. Smartphones, by self-containing low-cost sensing technology, can track our daily activities for serving healthcare, sport, interactive AR/VR games and so on. However, smartphone technology is evolving and the techniques of using the data that smartphones go through are also improving. In this study, we used built-in sensing technologies (accelerometer and gyroscope) available in nearly every smartphone to detect the most common 5 daily activities of human by taking the data of these sensors and extract the features for a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. We prepare a dataset and use TensorFlow to train the collected data from the sensors then filtered it to be processed. We also discuss the differences in CNN model accuracy with different optimizers. To demonstrate the model, we developed an android application that successfully predict an activity. We believe that after improving this application, it can be used for especially lonely old people to immediately warn authorities in case of any daily incidents.

Published: November 2020

Abstract. Recently, driving behavior has been the focus of several researchers and scientists, they are attempting to identify and analyze driving behavior using different sources of data. The purpose of this research is to investigate data acquisition methods and tools related to driving behavior, in addition to the type of data acquired. Using a systematic literature review strategy, this study identified tools and techniques used to collect data related to driving behavior among 120 selected studies from 2010 to 2020 in several literature resources. It then measured the percentages of the most commonly used methods, as well as the type of data collected. In-vehicle and IoT sensors was found to play the greatest role in data collection in approximately 67% of the documents selected studies; And concerning the type of data acquired, those relating to the vehicle are the most widely collected. Thus, this study definitively answers the question regarding the different data sources and data types used among researches. However, further studies are needed to give more attention to the driver's data and also to investigate the data from the three dimensions of driving (driver, vehicle, and environment) together as an integrated and interconnected system.
AN OPEN SOURCE MAIL SERVER MIGRATION EXPERIENCE: IREDMAIL
Authors: Azginoglu N.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. Servers are systems that set up to run for years, but it may be necessary to migrate to a new, better server when they have completed their lifetime or become inadequate. In this study, the open-source iRedMail e-mail server has been successfully migrated to another high-capacity physical server which uses an open-source CentOS operation system. Migration is a process that every step has to be very well planned. However, although planning is well done, unexpected errors may occur. For this reason, it is also essential to choose migration time. The experience gained as a result of the study is a guide for the new ones.
Changing the rotational direction of a wind turbine under veering inflow: a parameter study
Authors: Englberger Antonia , Lundquist Julie K. , Dörnbrack Andreas
Published: November 2020

Abstract. All current-day wind-turbine blades rotate in clockwise direction as seen from an upstream perspective. The choice of the rotational direction
impacts the wake if the wind profile changes direction with height. Here, we investigate the respective wakes for veering and backing winds in both
hemispheres by means of large-eddy simulations. We quantify the sensitivity of the wake to the strength of the wind veer, the wind speed, and the
rotational frequency of the rotor in the Northern Hemisphere. A veering wind in combination with counterclockwise-rotating blades results in a
larger streamwise velocity output, a larger spanwise wake width, and a larger wake deflection angle at the same downwind distance in comparison to a
clockwise-rotating turbine in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, the same wake characteristics occur if the turbine rotates
counterclockwise. These downwind differences in the wake result from the amplification or weakening or reversion of the spanwise wind component due to
the effect of the superimposed vortex of the rotor rotation on the inflow's shear. An increase in the directional shear or the rotational frequency
of the rotor under veering wind conditions increases the difference in the spanwise wake width and the wake deflection angle between clockwise- and
counterclockwise-rotating actuators, whereas the wind speed lacks a significant impact.

This article presents a framework for understanding, developing, and applying a trauma-informed approach to staff, team, and organizational self-care in youth serving organizations. The article draws on current research in the areas of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), Trauma Stewardship, resilience, and The Sanctuary Model. This approach will help child and youth care workers to develop a long lasting, effective trauma-informed self, team, and organizational care plan. The first article focuses on worker trauma-informed self-care, and the second on team and organizational approaches.

Since there are limits as to what can be comprehensively covered in a short article, I will supply an extensive list of key references and resources relevant to self, team, and organizational care. Many of these are directly downloadable from the Internet. Thus, I do not attempt to answer all the issues but encourage readers to explore the various resources and ideas and apply them where relevant to the readers, their team, and organizations.
Cubist Fashion in the Newspapers
Authors: Diepeveen Leonard
Published: November 2020

This feature reprints several early twentieth-century newspaper articles purporting to be accounts of cubist fashion shows. As well, it presents a short analysis of what those articles might mean. These articles reveal that the predominant reaction in the daily press to cubism was not so much vitriol as an arch skepticism, a skepticism which in these pieces was also a polemical analysis of cubism and fashion's dominant attributes. These writers turned to parody rather than just straightforward analysis, a move which allowed for a reduction of cubism and fashion into several impoverished ideas and an exaggerated display of how those ideas were embodied. For these writers, cubism's and fashion's arbitrary claims for significance were articulated through pretentious theoretical principles and assertions of group identities. Mistakenly dependent upon a motivating theory, cubism (and, by implication, fashion) was more mechanical than human; motivated by bogus utopian impulses, such as suffragism; and premised on a mistaken sense of its newness as development—rather than its newness as simple and arbitrary change.
Mina Loy, Bessie Breuer, Charm Magazine and Fashion as Modernist Historiography
Authors: Oliver Sophie
Published: November 2020

Mina Loy's essay “Modern Poetry” (1925) is a minor modernist classic, often cited and regularly studied. The New Jersey fashion and home-interest magazine in which it first appeared, Charm, and the editor who likely commissioned it, Bessie Breuer, are all but forgotten. In this article, which introduces Charm and Breuer in the context of modernist studies for the first time, the standard interpretation of Loy's essay as a manifesto for a poetry of the new is reconceptualized. Through the lens of Charm's fashion coverage, with its emphasis on both the seductively new and the practically durable, I read Loy's version of novelty as always relative and fleeting. Reading modernism through fashion, and particularly in a magazine, the article argues, simultaneously emphasizes and undermines modernism's definitions. In the final part of the article, I use Charm's fashion coverage as a way to approach modernist historiography. This historiography heralds not the canonical but— briefly, at least—the one-time and obscure artifacts of modernism. Fashion lets me recover Breuer and Charm for modernist history without attempting to assert anything as fixed as their absolute value. Fashion helps me propose a quintessentially modernist historiography that is attuned to restless change and contingency.
Racial Masquerades in the Magazines: Defining White Femininity Between the Wars
Authors: Pass Victoria Rose
Published: November 2020

In American fashion magazines in the 1930s, images and descriptions of white women taking on the clothes of non-white women abound: burnouse cloaks, coolie caps, sombreros, turbans, and saris all make frequent appearances. This paper will explore the ways these fashions are given meaning for readers in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar so that we can understand how these Orientalist and Primitivist fashions were used to construct their wearers' modern white femininity. The fashionable white woman was rendered modern through her infinite malleability—she can reshape her appearance with clothing, jewelry, makeup, diet and exercise—while the “other” is primitive, eternally wearing that same traditional clothing. This paper will consider the specific cases of the branding of the Bali bra, the sari, as well as “coolie” coats and hats.

Authors: Mangwana Sadhana
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Therapeutic thrombocytapheresis is an effective and useful measure of platelet reduction in patients with severe thrombocytosis from various primary or secondary causes of thrombocytosis to relieve patient of debilitating complications. American Society of Apheresis (ASFA) has recommended platelet reduction by thrombocytapheresis procedures for symptomatic relief in essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera indications under category 2C, but other causes are not included in this category by ASFA.

Case Report: Here, a case of cerebral venous thrombosis is presented which developed severe thrombocytosis in the post-operative period as secondary (reactive) cause to acute hemorrhage and benefitted after successful therapeutic thrombocytapheresis procedures without any debilitating or residual complications of neurosurgery.

Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of therapeutic platelet reduction by a very simple and easy plateletapheresis procedure which is routinely done in many blood establishments globally for other indications.

Published: November 2020

El Discurso Narrativo (DN) es una unidad lingüística compleja utilizada en ciertos contextos y que refleja la organización del pensamiento. La evidencia científica muestra que la población sorda, usuaria de ayudas auditivas, presenta dificultades en los diferentes niveles del lenguaje, tanto expresivos como comprensivos, incluida la habilidad para narrar. Además, existe evidencia de que la intervención terapéutica ayudaría a mejorar su rendimiento. Sin embargo, los datos disponibles sobre las características y abordaje del DN en esta población son escasos. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar un programa piloto para trabajar habilidades narrativas en niños chilenos usuarios de ayudas auditivas. Se estudiaron 22 niños con un promedio de edad de 6,5 años, adaptados con audífonos y/o implante coclear. Se aplicó a este grupo de niños una evaluación inicial del DN utilizando el instrumento Evaluación del Discurso Narrativo (EDNA), obteniéndose la Etapa y Desempeño narrativo de cada niño. Luego, se creó y aplicó individualmente un programa de estimulación del discurso narrativo de 12 sesiones una vez por semana. Finalmente, se repitió la evaluación al final del programa. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los resultados obtenidos previo y posterior a la implementación del programa de estimulación. En relación con la Etapa del DN, antes de la intervención el 45,5% de los niños no estructuraba, lo cual se redujo a un 9.1% en la evaluación final. En cuanto al Desempeño, previo a la intervención el 72,7% de los niños presentaba un “déficit narrativo”, lo cual se redujo a un 18,2% posterior a la aplicación del programa.
Tipo de fibra muscular y su relación con el abordaje fonoaudiológico en los trastornos de la deglución
Authors: González Gabriel
Published: November 2020

Los actuales protocolos de intervención en deglución no especifican parámetros de los ejercicios tales como la cantidad de series, duración, tiempos de repetición, entre otros. Lo anterior, es un desafío para la intervención fonoaudiológica en los trastornos de la deglución. El objetivo de este trabajo es acercar al profesional fonoaudiólogo al conocimiento de las fibras musculares, ya que es un conocimiento que se debe considerar antes de indicar ejercicios musculares cráneo-cérvico-orales. Por ello, se describen las principales fibras musculares con sus respectivas características fundamentales, como lo son: la resistencia a la fatiga y la velocidad de contracción. Se revisa la literatura sobre la dispersión de las fibras musculares, de algunos de los principales músculos que participan en el proceso deglutorio. También, se analizan diversas particularidades de los músculos de la zona cráneo-cérvico-oral. Se describen además las diferentes dificultades para evaluar esta musculatura. Finalmente, se expone la relevancia práctica de conocer estos tipos de fibras musculares y las perspectivas futuras de este enfoque basado en parámetros del ejercicio y la medición de variables objetivas.

Para ello se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional, transversal. Se incluyeron todos los hospitales públicos de alta complejidad del país, excluyendo aquellos pediátricos y psiquiátricos. Como instrumentos se utilizaron el documento “Modelo de Gestión Red de Rehabilitación” del Ministerio de Salud, la base de datos actualizada del total de camas de la red hospitalaria y el software Microsoft Excel. El estudio fue aprobado por Comité Ético Científico del Hospital San Juan de Dios. En total 59 de 188 hospitales existentes en Chile fueron incluidos. De acuerdo con el análisis realizado basado en el número de camas en Chile, se requieren aproximadamente 269 fonoaudiólogos contratados 44 horas semanales para la atención de pacientes adultos en hospitales de alta complejidad. De ellos 104 se ubican en la Región Metropolitana; alrededor de 31 en la Región del BíoBío y cerca de 24 en la Región de Valparaíso. Se sugiere la revisión de las orientaciones ministeriales y la realización de un segundo estudio sobre la brecha profesional existente en Chile con los datos obtenidos.

Authors: Muñoz Lizana Nelson , Peñaloza Castillo Christian
Published: November 2020

El artículo analiza, desde los planteamientos del enfoque comunitario, una experiencia fonoaudiológica para la promoción de derechos de niños y niñas, efectuada en una organización social, con participación de un grupo de estudiantes de la carrera de Fonoaudiología de la Universidad de Chile en el año 2013. En los abordajes comunitarios, la comunidad construye conocimientos y realiza acciones para lograr el fortalecimiento de sus relaciones, bienestar social, justicia, autonomía y emancipación. El análisis de la experiencia se realiza a partir de una selección de las bitácoras de campo del equipo de estudiantes participantes, en base a los principios y dimensiones del paradigma de la construcción y transformación crítica de Maritza Montero (2004). Los resultados se dividen en tres momentos (inicio, transición y reconfiguración del trabajo), los cuales dan cuenta del grado de complejidad del proceso y los alcances obtenidos en base a las dimensiones: ontológica, epistemológica, metodológica, ética y política del enfoque comunitario. La discusión enfatiza la importancia de la reflexión crítica sobre los fundamentos y las prácticas de la Fonoaudiología en el abordaje de la comunicación y el desarrollo humano, para aportar a la justicia social desde el enfoque comunitario.

El estudio de la fluidez del habla, en distintas etapas del ciclo vital, es relevante porque contribuye tanto a la comprensión del desarrollo típico del habla como a la comprensión del habla patológica, lo que aporta al diagnóstico y al tratamiento. Los objetivos del trabajo son: a) determinar la presencia y distribución de las disfluencias en distintos grupos etarios y b) determinar si existe variación en la distribución de las disfluencias en relación con el género de los informantes. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 60 niños y adolescentes entre los 4.01 años y 15.0 años distribuidos en tres grupos. Los resultados indican que la prolongación de vocal fue la disfluencia más frecuente, mientras que la repetición de sílaba fue la menos presente en los grupos analizados. En el grupo de mujeres de menor edad hubo una cantidad significativamente alta de repetición de palabras. No se encontraron otras diferencias en relación con el género de los informantes. Finalmente, se discuten los resultados y algunas consideraciones relacionadas con la metodología en este tipo de investigaciones.

In the absence of treatment and vaccine against coronavirus, preventive measures must be adopted, especially by people with diabetes. The objective was to identify the preventive measures against the new coronavirus carried out by people with diabetes. This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 214 people with diabetes through a questionnaire provided by a Google forms link in June 2020. We used descriptive statistics and the Spearman test to compare means. Most participants were female (85.9%), young adults (84.1%), with type 1 diabetes (76.7%), and without complications (74.2%). A high average of glycated hemoglobin (7.5 ± 1.4), changes in selfcare routine (72%) and in blood glucose levels (72.8%), wearing masks (98.1%), washing hands with soap and water (96.7%), using alcohol gel (94.4%), and social distancing (85%) were observed. It is essential to reinforce care for the metabolic control of people with diabetes, in addition to optimizing strategies against the COVID-19 epidemic with a view to preventing and promoting health.
Cannabidiol: A case presentation on the shortcomings in clinical application

Nearly four percent of the global population consumes cannabis with the highest prevalence among young people. Proponents of its use boast a myriad of benefits, including relief of pain, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Pharmacologic research on cannabidiol (CBD) first occurred in the late 1970s, and more recently has garnered expanded focus due to mounting consumption despite a dearth of evidence in health efficacies. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is deemed to be the intoxicating component of the flowering plant, lending to psychoactive outcomes, including euphoria and psychosis. Conversely, CBD is not thought to be psychotropic in nature. While there are a number of considerations regarding the utilization of CBD, emphasis is placed on the fact that medical-use indication is limited to its anti-seizure effects. In addition, high-grade evidence-based research data regarding the use of CBD for other medical diseases is deficient. Negative health consequences for consumers who may be unaware that inaccurate labeling and dose variability across the product backdrop is problematic. All things considered, counsel against the use of CBD products may be a judicious clinical approach.
Preservice Teachers’ Perceptions of the Pedagogical Function of Heroes and Hero Stories
Authors: Anthony Kenneth V. , Baneck Melissa
Published: November 2020

Teachers serve as gatekeepers to the implementation of curriculum in their classroom (Thornton, 2005). Their beliefs about a topic and the wider political environment can influence what they teach. To this end, our goal was to investigate whom preservice teachers identify as heroes and why, which heroes should be included in the curriculum, and how this might influence instruction of the NCSS theme Individual Development and Identity. This study was an exploratory study using the qualitative methods of an open-ended survey and focus group. We were guided by the research question: How do preservice elementary teachers conceptualize heroes? The participants were elementary preservice teachers in their final semester prior to teacher internship. We surveyed participants to determine their perceptions of heroes. We conducted a follow up focus group with five participants. The participants conceptualized heroes as serving a pedagogical function. We learned that these preservice teachers had a balanced concept of heroes and considered heroes valuable to the school curriculum. They saw heroes as role models for students to imitate. Of interest to the study of heroes in the social studies curriculum, these preservice teachers were able to overcome the barrier of the flawed hero. Rather than shifting away from teaching heroes and focusing on heroic actions as Barton and Levstik (2004) recommend, they were able to keep the curricular gate open (Thornton, 2005) to teaching heroes by developing the concept of the gray hero.
