Official statistic-making as a social practice: the UK 'Measuring National Well-being' programme
Authors: Jenkins Matt
Published: September 2018

The thesis examines the construction of official statistics using the qualitative case study of the UK Office for National Statistics' 'Measuring National Well-being' programme. Its major original contribution is to critically engage with the making of official statistics, theorising their construction as a social process. This provides novel ways of explaining the form and content of official statistics. It also furthers debates on 'well-being' through an examination of the concept's theoretical and institutional history.The research argues that official statistic-making is an activity conducted by actors with agency. This agency is not taken into account by existing accounts of the nature of official statistics, which are more abstract and which do not engage with the statistic-making process. It is argued that attention to the social processes of official statistic-making make a fuller understanding of the form and content of statistics possible.This argument is supported by an examination of the 'Measuring National Well-being' programme. The institutional and theoretical context for this programme presents a number of challenges to existing accounts, highlighting the need for agential action. This context is explored through semi-structured interviews with those involved in the creation of the programme, triangulated against secondary material such as meeting minutes produced by the Office for National Statistics and published statistical outputs.In the specific case of the 'Measuring National Well-being' programme, the research finds a high degree of autonomy for those constructing the programme. This freedom was used to position the programme within wider European and international statistical contexts, rather than domestic political ones. Despite being a programme in a new area of social research, the final content of the programme fitted within established ways of thinking partly as a result of path dependency created by the statisticians' pre-established ways of working.More generally, it is argued that approaching the construction of official statistics as a social process helps explain the form and content of the statistic. The research demonstrates that it is possible to trace linkages between the features of the final statistic and social interactions which gave rise to them. It is argued that this is applicable beyond the case study used and beyond statistic-making in the UK.

Abstract: Kutai Kartanegara (Kukar) is an area with quite extensive mining concession. However, Kukar is also the only district in East Kalimantan which experienced rice surplus. Although the amount of rice production is not significant, this condition should be appreciated, because in fact, the official releases shows its surplus is distinguish, compare to other district in East Kalimantan. Problems arise when massive mining operations occurred in those region. Some areas suffered real damage, especially agricultural land around the mining area. Damage is no longer a threat, but it has occurred and persisted. This study try to picture Kukar in the context of farming practices in the crush of mining Activities. There are three villages as observational study area, which are, Jembayan Dalam, Sedulang, and Sarinadi. The author’s findings show that in the three villages, it is interesting to observe and to describe how exactly the problem of agricultural land degradation surrounding the mining existed, and how the community respond to this condition. Jembayan Dalam village and Sedulang suffer severe damages, even the land can no longer being used for farming. However, in Sarinadi, the author found interesting findings since as a farming village, its system and social structure which was built by the community is able to shield themselves from the onslaught of the mining financiers. Keywords: Kutai Kartanegara, agriculture land, miningIntisari: Kutai Kartanegara (Kukar) adalah sebuah wilayah dengan konsesi pertambangannya cukup luas, akan tetapi, Kukar juga satu-satunya kabupaten di Kalimantan Timur yang mengalami surplus beras. Walaupun tidak terlalu besar namun harus diapresiasi, karena faktanya, rilis angka-angka resmi pemerintah menunjukkan itu. Persoalannya, dengan masifnya operasi pertambangan, beberapa wilayah mengalami kerusakan yang cukup serius, khususnya lahan pertanian sekitar pertambangan. Kerusakan bukan lagi ancaman, namun sudah terjadi. Kajian ini akan mencoba melihat Kukar dalam konteks bertani dalam himpitan tambang. Ada tiga desa yang menjadi observasi kajian yakni Desa Jembayan Dalam, Sedulang, dan Sarinadi. Temuan penulis dalam tiga desa ini cukup menarik untuk melihat dan menggambarkan bagaimana sebenarnya persoalan kerusakan lahan pertanian sekitar pertambangan, baik problem maupun respons masyarakat. Desa Jembayan Dalam dan Sedulang mengalami kerusakan yang cukup parah, bahkan lahannya tidak bisa digunakan untuk bertani. Namun di luar itu, Sarinadi sebagai sebuah desa pertanian cukup menarik untuk dilihat karena sistem dan struktur sosial yang dibangun oleh masyarakat mampu membentengi diri dari serbuan para pemodal tambang.

Abstract: State’s possession of agrarian resources , called as State’s right of control is the authority of the State attained through the atribution principle of the 1945 Constitution. In the National Land Law, the State’s right of control is the delegation of the public’s right to the State to manage resources, and was called as the highest right of the nation. Based on this delegation, the State has the authority to formulate policies, execute regulations, and also to arrange, manage, and control agrarian resources. To avoid misconducts on the implementation of the State’s right of control, the State authorities are limited by 3 (three) aspects, which are: the objective of the right itself for the greatest prosperity of the people; individual right and legal entity; and ulayat right of land of traditional society. On the implementation, State’s right of control was delegated to particular authorities (agrarian/land, forestry, and mining agencies), in which these authorities issuing civil rights such as ‘land right’ and ‘land permit’.

Published: September 2018

Se utiliza un modelo de un circuito LC con carga discreta y una fuente AC de frecuencia w elevada para determinar su hamiltoniano efectivo aplicando la aproximación semiclásica y el método de promediación temporal de Kapitza hasta 1/(w^2). El resultado corresponde al de la propagación de una partícula en una red de enlace fuerte por el mecanismo de hopping bajo la acción simultánea de un campo homogéneo rápidamente oscilante y un campo estático lineal, donde la coordenada de posición de la partícula equivale a la carga eléctrica del condensador en el circuito LC. De manera análoga a resultados previos para el oscilador armónico en la red, en este caso también se encuentra una condición de bifurcación dada por la carga inicial del condensador que determina la aparición súbita de un voltaje DC. Otra predicción relevante es la supresión controlada de la corriente efectiva al elegir los parámetros de la fuente AC.

Authors: Tasneem Shagufta , Ilyas Nazia
Published: September 2018

Trends for invasion site for coronary interventions are shifting from femoral to radial approach because of the advantageous effects. Assessment of pain associated with puncture site in both approaches (radial/femoral) is important. Purpose of this study is to find the difference in post procedural access site pain in patients undergoing coronary invasive procedures in trans-radial versus trans-femoral approach and its association with age, gender and BMI. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 75 randomly selected patients who underwent coronary invasive procedures. A structured questionnaire used for demographic and biophysical data, procedural data and Numerical Pain Rating Scale to assess the pain.

Out of 75 patients 42 patients received trans-femoral access and 33 received trans-radial access. Post procedural access site pain in trans-femoral site felt at mild and moderate level 64.2% vs. 23.8 % respectively. While on same rating scale in radial group felt at mild and moderate level 42.4% vs. 33.3 % with p-value 0.611 (>0.05). The mean difference in gender with males 69.3 % versus females 30.6 % showed from analysis that both sexes felt pain at mild level on pain rating scale resulting p-value 0.046 (< 0.05). Statistically significant level of pain was associated with obese patients resulting p -value 0.299 (> 0.05).

Patient undergoing coronary intervention through femoral site invasion experience more post procedural access site pain than radial site invasion. Pain level is increased in obese and aged population.

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ISSUES OF INDONESIAN MIGRANT NURSES IN JAPAN
Authors: Ishikawa Yoko , Setyowati .
Published: September 2018

Cooperation with IENs (Internationally Educated Nurses) is increasingly important given the aging society and low birth rate in Japan. This study focuses on lived experiences of Indonesian nurses in Japan. Objectives of this study were to clarify their experiences and views in terms of the scope of nursing and cultural adaptation, and to examine whether cultural barriers are among the reasons nurses return to their home country. The study was based upon in-depth interviews with Indonesian nurses who had worked in Japan. Fourteen Indonesian nurses participated in the study. Indonesian nurses viewed Japanese work culture as hardworking, requiring excessive punctuality, having too many rules, and maintaining hierarchy between junior and senior nurses.Collaboration with doctors, integrated elderly care, and touching emerged as differences in the nursing practice. Indonesian nurses hesitated to touch patients as they did in Indonesia due to cultural differences. Religious practice among Muslims and family priority were reasons to return to Indonesia. To utilize IEN’s skills, not only must the migrants learn Japanese culture and values, but it will be necessary for Japanese employers and staff to understand the values of the IENs.

Published: September 2018

Wild species of rice (Oryza) have superior agronomic characteristics to be incorporated in rice breeding programs worldwide.  Population studies of wild relatives of rice in Sri Lanka has not being well documented despite a few of attempts. In the present study, phenotypic diversity of Oryza rufipogon populations exist in Sri Lanka were characterized based on nine quantitative morphological traits. Populations (P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5) were established in a common-garden and were characterized. The results revealed moderate phenotypic diversity among O. rufipogon populations studied. However, flag leaf length and awn length were the most variable traits while plant height, flag leaf angle, flag leaf panicle neck length and spikelet angle were the least variable traits. O. rufipogon can be simply distinguished using flag leaf length and width, panicle branching type and distance from panicle base to lowest spikelet insertion. The dendrogram results indicated that four main clusters are at a similarity level of 98.73, showing the diversely related populations with a high identity based on higher similarity values. P1 and P2 populations grouped together by forming the first cluster. The second, third and fourth clusters consisted of P3, P5 and P4 populations, respectively. One population from first cluster and P3, P5 and P4 populations can be used for conservation. This study highlights the phenotypic diversity of O. rufipogon populations existing in Sri Lanka across the geographic locations and Knowledge on such morphological diversity provides opportunities to design conservation strategies and the potentials of using particular population based on breeding objectives.

The role of radioactive iodine uptake and scintigraphy were studied over 111 subjects with a mean age of 42±13 years, 65% females and 35% males, in the evaluation of hyperthyroidism with multinodular goiter. The uptake study was performed by oral administration of 4.5 – 10.0 μCi of 131I as sodium-iodide thyroid scintigraphy was performed 20 minutes after an intravenous injection of 2.0 – 4.0 mCi of 99mTc as pertechnetate. The Mean ± SD uptake values for the study subjects were found to be 36.1±15.4% ranging from 14% to 75% at 2 h and 59.9±15.9% ranging from 32% to 90% at 24 h measurements. The present results of uptake values clearly exceed the normal range (3% – 12% for 2 h; 8% – 25% for 24 h), which indicate the hyper-functioning of thyroid, and therefore, demonstrated successfully the efficient role of radioactive iodine uptake and scintigraphy to diagnose the hyperthyroidism.
Development of a Web Based Expert System for Rubber Crop Disease Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Konyeha S. , Imouokhome F. A.
Published: September 2018

An expert system imitates the decision–making adeptness of a human expert. They are intended to answer complicated questions characterized mainly as if–then rules instead of traditional procedural code. A major problem facing the cultivation of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) in developing countries is the destructive effect of pathogens which result in about fifty percent (50%) loss in crop yield. This problem persists, due to a communication gap between agricultural researchers, such that field extension officers, and farmers are hampered by various operational and logistic challenges. This paper is an effort to bridge this gap, and hence features an expert system that can be accessed online by farmers.  The expert system allows farmers to select disease symptoms presented in categories from a JAVA based user friendly graphical interface. The output generated by the rule–base engine, diagnoses the diseases of the rubber crop, and suggests curative and preventive measures. The main source of information for developing the expert system’ knowledge–base was the Rubber Research Institute, Iyanomo, Edo State, Nigeria.

Authors: Adepetun A. O. , Adewara A. A.
Published: September 2018

In this paper, we propose new stratified Bayesian estimators of population proportion of a sensitive trait by adopting a mixture of alternative beta distributions as quantification of prior information in a stratified random sampling situation. Data were collected through Warner’s randomized response technique. To study the performance of the newly developed stratified estimators, mean squared error and absolute bias were used as performance criteria. The proposed estimators were compared with the existing one. We observed that the proposed estimators are more sensitive to responses than the existing one at various sample sizes respectively.

The purpose of current study was to estimate the incidence of total aflatoxins (B1+B2+G1+G2) in unpack spices and dried fruits. A total of 90 samples included red chillies, black pepper, figs and dried apricots were picked from shops/markets situated in Lahore - Pakistan and were analyzed by using thin layer chromatography (TLC). The results showed that aflatoxin B1 was detected in 24 (26%) samples. The results obtained were ranging between 23.99-97.42 μgkg-1 in spices, 47.68-75.78 μgkg-1 in black pepper, 6.72-14.43 μgkg-1 in figs while 13.2 μgkg-1 of aflatoxin B1 was present in apricot sample. 39.28%, 18.18%, 5.0% and 40% samples of red chilli, black pepper, dried apricots and figs were found contaminated with aflatoxins respectively. Among contaminated samples 32.14% , 13.63%, 5.0% and 15% samples of red chilli, black pepper, dried apricots and figs, respectively were found contaminated with aflatoxins beyond permissible limits. Furthermore, 17.77% i.e. n=16 of the positive samples contained Aflatoxin B1 level more than the permitted limit for entire aflatoxins as lay down by regulatory authority. From the study, it was concluded that a continuous and strict national monitoring plan is needed to improve quality and safety of spices and dried fruits supply in Pakistan.

Published: September 2018

Objective.

To identify and address patient-reported barriers in osteoporosis care after a fracture.

Methods.

A longitudinal cohort of fragility fracture patients over 50 years of age was seen in a provincewide fracture liaison service. Followup interviews were done at 6 months for osteoporosis care indicators. Univariate statistics were used to describe baseline characteristics, osteoporosis-related outcomes, and reasons cited for not achieving them. Two phases of this program were compared (Phase I: education and communication, and Phase II: risk assessment education and communication). Phase II was further divided into those who fully participated and those who declined.

Results.

Phase I (n = 3997) had lower testing and treatment rates than Phase II (n = 1363). Rates were highest in those confirmed as having participated in Phase II (n = 569). Phase II nonparticipants (n = 794) had results as in Phase I. In Phase I, the main patient-reported barriers for not visiting their physician or not having a bone mineral density (BMD) test were patient- and physician-oriented (e.g., being instructed by their physician to not have the BMD test). In Phase II, BMD testing was part of the program, thus the main barriers were around treatment choices. Phase II eligible nonparticipants experienced many of the same barriers as Phase I patients, with lower BMD testing rates (54.9% and 65.4%, respectively).

Conclusion.

Evaluating and addressing barriers to guideline implementation reduced those barriers and was associated with higher downstream treatment rates. Monitoring barriers in a program like this provides useful insights for program changes and research interventions.
Clinical Responses and Synovial Vascularity in Obese Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated with Adalimumab and Methotrexate
Authors: Kaeley Gurjit S. , MacCarter Daryl K. , Pangan Aileen L. , Wang Xin , Kalabic Jasmina , Ranganath Veena K.
Published: September 2018

Objective.

Obese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) report more joint swelling and tenderness and often have poorer responses to therapy than nonobese patients. The aim of this posthoc analysis of the MUSICA trial was to compare imaging and clinical disease activity measures in obese and nonobese patients with RA.

Methods.

MUSICA evaluated methotrexate (MTX) 20 mg/week versus 7.5 mg/week in combination with adalimumab (ADA) in RA patients with an inadequate response to MTX. Patients were categorized by baseline body mass index as normal (< 25), overweight (≥ 25 to < 30), or obese (≥ 30). Synovial vascularity and hypertrophy, swollen and tender joint counts (SJC and TJC), American College of Rheumatology (ACR) responses, and low disease activity (LDA), defined as Clinical Disease Activity Index < 10 and 28-joint count Disease Activity Score using C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) < 3.2, were assessed at weeks 12 and 24.

Results.

Patient characteristics were similar among groups at baseline. Obese patients had numerically smaller changes from baseline to weeks 12/24 in SJC, TJC, DAS28-CRP, and synovial hypertrophy and vascularity versus nonobese patients. Significantly fewer obese patients reached ACR20/50 at weeks 12 and 24, and LDA at Week 12; this difference was especially apparent in patients receiving 7.5 mg/week MTX but was no longer significant at Week 24.

Conclusion.

Obese patients with RA had worse clinical and ultrasonographic responses than nonobese patients, which were partly overcome with time. Obese patients may experience better and faster clinical improvements if ADA is initiated with high-dose (20 mg/week) rather than low-dose MTX. [ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT01185288]

Published: September 2018

Objective.

Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The high prevalence of infections in SLE is attributed to both the disease and its treatments. The complement system plays an important role in host immune responses against invading microorganisms. We sought to provide the experimental and clinical evidence supporting the hypothesis that low levels of complement factors cause defective complement-mediated opsonization in patients with SLE.

Methods.

Staphylococcus aureuswas opsonized with sera from healthy individuals (n = 16), SLE patients with normal (n = 5) or low complement (n = 8) levels. Phagocytosis ofS. aureusby healthy human neutrophils was analyzed by an imaging flow cytometry-based method. We retrospectively examined the infection incidence in relation to complement levels in a cohort of 165 patients with SLE during a 1.5-year period. The association was analyzed for infection incidence and disease-related variables.

Results.

Uptake ofS. aureusby neutrophils was decreased whenS. aureuswas opsonized with sera from SLE patients with low complement levels compared to sera from healthy individuals and SLE patients with normal complement. In our SLE cohort, 44% of patients had at least 1 infection during the 1.5 years. No significant association was observed between complement levels and infection risk. Importantly, high-dose glucocorticoids (GC; prednisone ≥ 10 mg/day) were the most important predictive factor for infections in patients with SLE.

Conclusion.

Low complement levels affect bacterial opsonization in SLE blood and lead to downregulated phagocytosis by neutrophils. High-dose GC increase the infection risk in patients with SLE.

Published: September 2018

Objective.

The risk of developing invasive pneumococcal infection is 13 times higher in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in comparison with the general population. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention anticipates a US$7.6 million medical cost reduction by providing pneumococcal vaccination. The objective of this study was to improve the rate of combination pneumococcal vaccination (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine 23 + pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 13) in patients with SLE in our adult academic rheumatology practice.

Methods.

With the use of physician- and staff-based surveys, we analyzed the underlying barriers in providing vaccination. We then planned a multifaceted intervention including pre-visit planning, day-of-visit planning, weekly review, and monthly feedback.

Results.

Our project is one of the few studies planned to improve combination pneumococcal vaccination rates in adult patients with SLE and we report an impressive improvement from 10% baseline rate to 59% vaccination rate by the end of the study period. This highlights the role of planning an intervention with an integrated workflow and the importance of sharing performance data, which leads to high compliance among team members.

Conclusion.

The significant improvement in combination vaccination rate in eligible patients with SLE and the additional rise of vaccine rates seen in other eligible patients in the practice draws attention to the high adaptiveness of the intervention resulting in a true practice change. Our quality project design can serve as a model that can be adapted by other specialty clinics to achieve higher vaccination standards.
