Background

The use of computers and other Visual Display Terminal (VDT) screens is increasing in Nepal. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the prevalence of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) and other occupational health concerns among employees working in front of VDT screens in the Nepalese population.

Objectives

This study aims to estimate the prevalence of CVS, musculoskeletal and work-related stress among VDT screen users in the office, as well as their understanding and usage of preventive measures.

Methods

The study was a cross-sectional descriptive study among 319 VDT users in office settings in Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Nepal, using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the associated factors at 95% CI. P-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results

The prevalence of CVS was 89.4%. More than eight out of ten study participants reported at least one visual and musculoskeletal symptom. Work-related stress, which was moderate-difficult to handle, was present in 36.7% of the study population. The mean±SD computer usage per day was 7.9±1.9 hours. Tired eye (63.3%), feeling of dry eye (57.8%), headache (56.9%) were the common visual symptoms of CVS reported. Total computer use/day > = 8 hours OR 2.6, improper viewing distance OR 3.2, Not using an anti-glare screen OR 2.6, not using eye-drops, and not wearing protective goggles OR 3.1 were significantly associated with the presence of CVS. There was no statistically significant association between visual symptoms of CVS, musculoskeletal symptoms, and stress with gender.

Conclusion

CVS was substantially related to not employing preventive measures, working longer hours, and having an incorrect viewing distance. With more hours per day spent in front of a VDT screen, work-related stress and musculoskeletal complaints were also found to be important correlates. Similarly, work-related stress was found more among those who had less than five years of job.
Corografías de la memoria

A principios del siglo XVII el licenciado Francisco de Cascales escribió y publicó los Discursos históricos, una corografía que registra los servicios y privilegios de la ciudad de Murcia y sus linajes más destacados. Entre ellos se encontraban los Guzmán y los Junterón, cuyas trayectorias reconstruimos en este artículo para plantear un análisis amplio sobre la fabricación de la historia durante la Edad Moderna y en los últimos años. El contraste de las informaciones contenidas en la obra icónica de Cascales con otras fuentes históricas que forman parte actualmente de fondos documentales municipales, regionales y estatales permite dos reflexiones. La primera sobre el uso de estas primeras historias locales para graduar el peso de la memoria colectiva y facilitar la inmovilización de las identidades y los estatus sociales. La segunda sobre la integración de lo local en una historiografía marcada por las perspectivas globales, un mal de escalas que evoca un discurso histórico basado en la centralización y marginalización de espacios, sujetos y también archivos.

Accessibility of physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling
Authors: Halluin Sidonie , Tebby Cléo
Published: July 2022

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are mathematical models that describe the absorption, disposition, metabolism and elimination processes that a substance undergoes in a living organism. A PBPK model subdivides the body in compartments representing organs connected through blood. This type of model aims to link an external exposure to an internal dose, particularly in the context of health regulations.This work focuses on the PBPK models developed at the Ineris (National Institute for the Industrial Environment and Risks). The goal is to make the use of these models more accessible for researchers as well as regulatory agencies.

In 2010, the experimental toxicology and modeling unit published a reference PBPK model, which follows a human organism throughout his entire life. Since then, many versions have been developed to adapt to the different behaviors of substances. The multiple versions were collected, updated, annotated and compared. The combination of models into a generic model is under development.

We have developed VICKY : an interface to graphically represent the dynamics of the model's predictions. This GUIincludes 3 tools : A table and graph of substance concentrations in organs as a function of years and a animated diagram of the human body. Intensity color of the human body organs represent concentration levels.

This graphical interface linked to the generic model will facilitate interpretation of the results of the PBPK models by researchers and health agencies. Ultimately, it will help to assess exposure to substances in order to protect human populations in terms of health.

Power Analysis and Speed Control of DC Motor Drive using Matlab Simulation
Authors: Alotaibi Athari , Alzuabi Rashid
Published: July 2022

For ensuring the flexibility and safety of a test stand system the analysis of mechanical and electrical properties of electrical machines are necessary. If in real practice these have to be obtained, it is necessary that the operating regime has to be changed so it is necessary and better to build a control system that regulates the electrical machine [for example starting of the m/c, stopping of the m/c, accelerating, retarding reversing, , braking, etc.) This paper presents an analysis of power, voltage, speed and current of DC motor drive using Matlab simulation. Variable speed drives that are variable and are in rotating motion of the electrical devices such as DC motor drive that are used to regulate the speed. Besides this it accelerates and gives a direction of movement. Electrical variable speed drives consist of three components: A controller of high level that can accommodate the use of various switches/buttons and potentiometers for starting, stopping, and changing the speed; the controller of the drive that is enable to converts the fixed voltage and frequency of power source of AC type in power output of adjustable type for controlling the electric drive motor in the specific permitted speed ranges, also control the drive motor that is capable of converting electrical energy into the movement of the motor. Variable speed drives that may finely and smoothly regulate the speed to any desired value within the design constraint and to a predefined working range can be taken as a particular approach to regulate electrical equipment and improving the various processes in which the electrical machines are involved. It was found from results of simulation that the output voltage of the rectifier, speed, torque and current ripples can be represented specially in single-phase models. In 3-phase model which has 3 inputs voltage and base voltage, an instrument to measure the power factor is added, which is equal to tan-1(Q/P), it can be noticed that the mean value of power factor at low speeds (0-2) seconds is 0.053, while at high speeds it reaches to 0.93 which means that the motor should worked at its related speed needed for the application. i.e. we should use the motors related to the needed RPM because the power is improved and at the end the efficiency is more. Steady-state regions are a good area used to measure input powers, while at transient or unsteady areas the values of power, current, torque and voltages has a big actuating error

Published: July 2022

Liquid biopsies are a valuable non-invasive biomarker source for the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of cancer patients. The detection of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) derived from tumor cells (ctDNA) has emerged as a promising clinical approach, as their levels are elevated in many cancers and contains tumor-related mutations and specific methylation patterns. ctDNA can be released from tumor cells into the bloodstream, either linked to extracellular vesicles (EV-DNA) or in an EV-free form when associated with nucleosomes and other proteins, or even as a component of macromolecular structures such as neutrophil extracellular traps (NET DNA). These different types of cfDNA can mirror cancer progression and predict patient outcome. This review presents the recent benefits of cfDNA in cancer, distinguishing between EV-DNA and EV-free DNA, and highlights their clinical utility.

Barker, L, Siedlik, J, Magrini, M, Uesato, S, Wang, H, Sjovold, A, Ewing, G, and Harry, JR. . Eccentric force velocity profiling: motor control strategy considerations and relationships to strength and jump performance. J Strength Cond Res 37(3): 574–580, 2023—Currently, no studies exist on the eccentric force-velocity profile (eFVP) during drop landings from increasing drop heights, which may reveal an athlete's braking capacity and control strategies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the eFVP during bilateral drop landings from increasing drop heights. A secondary purpose was to explore and determine relevant relationships between the eFVP and common metrics like relative strength and jumping performance. Overall, 19 recreationally trained athletes from the university completed a 1-reptition maximum back squat, countermovement jumps, squat jumps, drop jumps, and drop landings from 0.3 to 1.52-m box heights in 0.15-m increments. Average force and velocity from the peak drop landing trial was used to generate an eFVP. The mean linear eFVP was −6.65x + 14.73, and the mean second order polynomial eFVP was −1.37x2 − 25.84x + 0.17. The second-order polynomial fit the data better with large effect (d
unb = 1.05, p < 0.05). No significant correlations between the eFVP coefficients and the strength and jumping measurements were observed. Future research could investigate how training can influence the eFVP. Eccentric force production during landing may be a unique quality that requires specific development strategies, such has fast or slow eccentric training.

Hurd, KA, Surges, MP, and Farrell, JW. Use of exercise training to enhance the power-duration curve: a systematic review. J Strength Cond Res 37(3): 733–744, 2023—The power/velocity-duration curve consists of critical power (CP), the highest work rate at which a metabolic steady state can obtained, and W′ (e.g., W prime), the finite amount of work that can be performed above CP. Significant associations between CP and performance during endurance sports have been reported resulting in CP becoming a primary outcome for enhancement following exercise training interventions. This review evaluated and summarized the effects of different exercise training methodologies for enhancing CP and respective analogs. A systematic review was conducted with the assistance of a university librarian and in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Ten studies met the criteria for inclusion and were reviewed. Four, 2, 2, 1, and 1 articles included swimming, cycling, resistance training, rowing, and running, respectively. Improvements in CP, and respective analogs, were reported in 3 swimming, 2 cycling, and 1 rowing intervention. In addition, only 2 cycling and 1 swimming intervention used CP, and respective analogs, as an index of intensity for prescribing exercise training, with one cycling and one swimming intervention reporting significant improvements in CP. Multiple exercise training modalities can be used to enhance the power/velocity-duration curve. Significant improvements in CP were often reported with no observed improvements in W′ or with slight decreases. Training may need to be periodized in a manner that targets enhancements in either CP or W′ but not simultaneously.

Objective: to analyze the association between sociodemographic and sexual variables of women in a context of vulnerability and their knowledge about the ways of HIV transmission. Methods: cross-sectional, analytical, and exploratory study conducted in a Primary Health Care Unit, with 221 women. The collection occurred with instruments containing sociodemographic, gynecological, and obstetric, sexual data and measurement of knowledge about HIV. Results: knowledge about the ways of HIV transmission was associated with age and education of the interviewees. Conclusion: the high prevalence of inadequate knowledge about HIV was explained by the younger age group of women, while the reduction of this outcome was seen in those with higher education. Contributions to practice: the data presented can subsidize new approaches and care practices in the field of sexual and reproductive health from the proposed analysis, aiming to raise awareness about testing, timely treatment and breaking the chain of transmission.

In brief

Hyperpolarization of the membrane potential is a crucial step for mammalian sperm maturation. This work demonstrates that this membrane potential change likely activates a sperm-specific sodium/proton exchanger to induce alkalization in mouse sperm flagellum.

The sperm-specific sodium/proton exchanger (sNHE) is an indispensable protein for male fertility in mammals. Nevertheless, it is still unknown how mammalian sNHE is regulated. Evidence obtained from sea urchin sNHE indicates that hyperpolarization of plasma membrane potential (Vm), which is a hallmark of mammalian capacitation, positively regulates the sNHE. Therefore, we explored the activity of sNHE in mouse and human sperm by fluorescence imaging of intracellular pH (pHi) with a ratiometric dye, SNARF-5F. A valinomycin-induced Vm hyperpolarization elevated sperm flagellar pHi of WT mouse but not in sNHE-KO mouse. Moreover, this pHi increase was inhibited in a high K+ (40 mM) medium. These results support the idea that mouse sNHE is activated by Vm hyperpolarization. Interestingly, we observed different types of kinetics derived from valinomycin-induced alkalization, including some (30%) without any pHi changes. Our quantitative pHi determinations revealed that unresponsive cells had a high resting pHi (>7.5), suggesting that the activity of mouse sNHE is regulated by the resting pHi. On the other hand, valinomycin did not increase the pHi of human sperm in the head or the flagellum, regardless of their resting pHi values. Our findings suggest that the regulatory mechanisms of mammalian sNHEs are probably distinct depending on the species.

Published: July 2022

Background: Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, however its surgical treatment remains risky with possible complications. There is increasing evidence that the month of birth (MOB) has been related to different health problems during life. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of MOB on the risk of deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) in patients after open-heart surgery.
Methods: The follow-up retrospective research was performed at the Department of Thoracic, Cardiac, and Vascular Surgery of the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences. We analyzed the MOB of 201 patients, who underwent open-heart surgery between January 2017 and December 2018. The case group consisted of 46 patients, who suffered from DSWI. Multivariate logistic regression for the association between MOB and risk of DSWI was used.
Results: The results showed that the risk of DSWI was by four times higher for patients born in June-September months. The risk of developing DSWI in the case group was even higher for women, patients aged 70 years and younger, those overweight or obese, and patients who underwent only CABG surgery.
Conclusion: Due to the growing evidence that the month of birth affects the onset of diseases, it is important to assess MOB as the potential risk factor for developing DSWI.
Bisexual Orientation, Divorce and Islamic Law in Indonesia: Legal Standing and Arguments
Authors: Hikmah Warda Silwana , Bachtiar Hasnan , Kurniawan Kukuh Dwi
Published: July 2022

Can the bisexual orientation in a marriage bond be considered a legal argument for formulating a verdict in the Indonesia Islamic courts? Does it have such a specific legal standing mentioned directly within any regulation covering the issue of Islamic private law? In answering both these questions, this article implements a normative-juridical inquiry that examines various rational possibilities in developing arguments of law. This article finds that in handling the case of bisexual orientation, the Indonesian legal system has remained a legal vacuum. Consequently, it seems it might not be a direct legal argument because it has no legal standing. This article argues that there is no single legal instrument has been imposed that explicitly mentions the case of the orientation. However, the judge may implement the analogous of the possibility of "adultery that leads to unresolved conflicts" to make a ratio legis of divorce due to the orientation.   AbstrakApakah orientasi biseksual dalam suatu ikatan perkawinan dapat dijadikan sebagai dalil hukum untuk merumuskan suatu putusan di pengadilan? Apakah ia memiliki kedudukan hukum tertentu yang disebutkan secara langsung dalam peraturan apa pun yang mencakup masalah hukum privat Islam? Dalam menjawab kedua pertanyaan tersebut, artikel ini menerapkan penelitian yuridis-normatif yang mengkaji berbagai kemungkinan rasional dalam mengembangkan argumentasi hukum. Artikel ini menemukan bahwa dalam menangani kasus orientasi biseksual, sistem hukum Indonesia masih mengalami kekosongan hukum. Akibatnya, seolah-olah tidak bisa menjadi argumentasi hukum langsung karena tidak memiliki legal standing. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa tidak ada satu pun instrumen hukum yang diberlakukan yang secara eksplisit menyebutkan kasus orientasi tersebut. Namun demikian, hakim dapat menerapkan analogi kemungkinan “perzinahan yang berujung pada konflik yang tidak terselesaikan” untuk membuat rasio logis perceraian karena orientasinya.
Transition of Civil Law to Public Law: Integration of Modern Punishment Theory in Criminal Apostasy

Published: July 2022

This paper aims to analyze the determination of death penalty in apostasy through modern criminal theories and human rights considerations. The approach is used to objectively view the purpose of death penalty on a criminal act in the context of religious freedom. This study is a conceptual study using the library research and descriptive-analytical  approach. Based on the analysis of punishment theories, it is found that the determination of the death penalty in apostasy takes a combined pattern of punishment theories: retributive, deterrence, and reformative theories. The combination of these theories leads to an integration, as it does not focus only on the retributive and deterrence aspects, but it also emphasizes on the reformative aspect, as a means of therapy for apostate criminals so they will not repeat the same acts. The integration of the theories seems perfect when accompanied by moral education that can provide “spiritual enlightenment”, so that criminals can be accepted back into the community. The integrity-morality theory or pulse-integrity theory is expected to neutralize the difference in views on the purpose of punishment in Islamic criminal law, which has long been considered not in line with the norms of human rights under the pretext of the sovereign system of the nation-state, where citizenship status is limited by territorial areas. The equality of rights, justice, morality, and individual accountability is a universal principle of the teachings of the Qur’an which inspire the conception of human rights norms by every citizen.AbstrakArtikel ini menganalisis penetapan hukuman mati dalam pidana murtad menggunakan pendekatan teori pemidanaan dan pertimbangan hak asasi manusia. Pendekatan ini digunakan untuk melihat secara objektif tujuan ditetapkan hukuman mati sebagai perbuatan pidana dalam konteks kebebasan beragama. Studi ini merupakan kajian konseptual, dianalisis menggunakan data kepustakaan melalui pendekatan deskriptif-analitis. Berdasarkan analisis teori pemidanan ditemukan bahwa penetapan hukuman mati dalam pidana murtad mengambil pola perpaduan teori pemidanaan; teori retributif,deterrence dan reformatif. Perpaduan ketiga teori melahirkan integritas, tidak terfokus pada aspek retributif  dan deterrence, tetapi lebih menekankan pada aspek reformatif, sebagai terapi pelaku kajahatan murtad agar tidak mengulangi perbuatan yang sama. Pengintegrasian ketiga teori ini terlihat sempurna manakala diiringi pendidikan moral yang dapat memberikan “pencerahan spiritual”, sehingga pelaku kejahatan dapat diterima kembali dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Teori integritas-moralitas atau teori integritas-plus diharapkan dapat menetralisir perbedaan pandangan tujuan pemidanaan Islam. Persamaan hak, keadilan, moralitas dan pertanggunjawaban individu merupakan prinsip universal ajaran al-Qur’an menjadi inspirasi lahirnya norma hak asasi manusia setiap warga negara.
Veiled Vasculitis in a 14-Year-Old Presenting With Chest Pain and Polyarthralgias
Authors: Lipsett Brody , Lichak Brooke , Kotok Irene , Helm Matthew , Hahn Timothy
Published: July 2022

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare, small-vessel vasculitis that often presents with upper and lower respiratory tract symptoms along with nonspecific symptoms, including fever and weight loss. Although it is more likely to present in adulthood, GPA can present at all ages and affect multiple organ systems, making its recognition exceedingly difficult and leading to delayed diagnosis. This is particularly deleterious in the pediatric population in which delayed diagnosis and treatment are associated with a significantly worse prognosis, significant hematologic complications, and irreversible organ damage. We discuss a 14-year-old boy with GPA who presented with noncardiac chest pain and polyarthralgias in whom a detailed review of systems later revealed a 2-year history of fevers, malaise, and failure to thrive. Our report reveals the importance of early recognition and treatment of GPA during childhood.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Although delivery room (DR) intervention decreases with increasing gestational age (GA), little is known about DR management of moderate and late preterm (MLP) infants.

METHODS

Using the Vermont Oxford Network database of all NICU admissions, we examined the receipt of DR interventions including supplemental oxygen, positive pressure ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure, endotracheal tube ventilation, chest compressions, epinephrine, and surfactant among MLP infants (30 to 36 weeks') without congenital anomalies born from 2011 to 2020. Pneumothorax was examined as a potential resuscitation-associated complication. Intervention frequency was assessed at the infant- and hospital-level, stratified by GA and over time.

RESULTS

Overall, 55.3% of 616 110 infants (median GA: 34 weeks) from 483 Vermont Oxford Network centers received any DR intervention. Any DR intervention frequency decreased from 89.7% at 30 weeks to 44.2% at 36 weeks. From 2011 to 2020, there was an increase in the provision of continuous positive airway pressure (17.9% to 47.8%, P ≤.001) and positive pressure ventilation (22.9% to 24.9%, P ≤.001) and a decrease in endotracheal tube ventilation (6.9% to 4.0% P ≤.001), surfactant administration (3.5% to 1.3%, P ≤.001), and pneumothorax (1.9% to 1.6%, P ≤.001). Hospital rates of any DR intervention varied (median 54%, interquartile range 47% to 62%), though the frequency was similar across hospitals with different NICU capabilities after adjustment.

CONCLUSIONS

The DR management of MLP infants varies at the individual- and hospital-level and is changing over time. These findings illustrate the differing interpretation of resuscitation guidelines and emphasize the need to study MLP infants to improve evidence-based DR care.
Why did care home residents face an elevated risk of death from COVID-19? A demographic perspective using data from Belgium and from England and Wales
Authors: Mun Sim Lai Nicole
Published: July 2022

In many countries, deaths from COVID-19 were highly concentrated among care home residents during the initial wave of the pandemic. Care home residents may have faced higher risks of exposure and infection than the general population of older people. Once infected, residents may have been more likely to succumb to this disease as they were both older and frailer than the general population of older people. This study presents a quantified assessment of these factors in Belgium and in England and Wales. In doing so, this paper applies the Das Gupta decomposition method to explain the contributions of these three factors to the observed differences in mortality rates from COVID-19 between older people residing in care homes and older people living at home. According to these estimates, older people residing in care homes were 36 times more likely to die in Belgium and were 23 times more likely to die in England and Wales from COVID-19 than older people living at home during the initial wave of the pandemic. Decomposition of the differences in the mortality rates of these populations in Belgium and in England and Wales showed that the two key determinants were the greater underlying frailty of older people in care homes (accounting for 46% of the differences in Belgium and 66% of the differences in England and Wales) and the higher infection prevalence of older people in care homes (accounting for 40% of the differences in Belgium and 26% of the differences in England and Wales).
Laying Out Feast-Offerings
Authors: Arumugam Indira
Published: July 2022

In the literature on sacred food in Hinduism, vegetarian offerings to Sanskritic deities (Sanskrit naivedya, prasada; Tamil naivettiyam, pracatam) are privileged. If meat is mentioned, it is in reference to sacrificial worship; and even so, the analysis often stops at ritual killing. Here, however, I focus on the wealth of religious meanings and ritual dynamics inherent to the ritual display and communal feasting—incorporating, if not centred on, meat—known as pataiyal or feast-offerings, performed in or after worship. I describe two forms of these feast-offerings: (1) following sacrificial worship to tutelary deities in rural Tamil Nadu and (2) during worship to divinized ancestors in Singapore. Departing from Brahminical exegeses, I probe the meanings and merits of meat offerings from the perspective of those immersed in the agrarian productive process (farmers and those from farming traditions) for whom eating meat, if not killing animals, is routine. Meat offerings, I argue, are not so much arbitrators of ritual purity-pollution or hierarchy, but more of kinship and commensality, and thus intimacy, between specific deities and their devotees. I foreground a pragmatic everyday theology, not necessarily explicit, but inherent to the lives, worlds, religious beliefs and ritual practices of ordinary peoples living their ordinary lives.

Invertible skew pairings and crossed products for weak Hopf algebras
Authors: ALONSO ÁLVAREZ José Nicanor , FERNADEZ VILABOA J.m. , GONZALEZ RODRİGUEZ Ramon
Published: July 2022

In this paper we work with invertible skew pairings for weak bialgebras in a symmetric monoidal category where every idempotent morphism splits. We prove that this kind of skew pairings induces examples of weak distributive laws and therefore they provide weak wreath products. Also we will show that they define weakly comonoidal mutually weak inverse pairs of weak distributive laws and, by the results proved by G. Böhm and J. Gómez-Torrecillas, we obtain weak wreath products that become weak bialgebras with respect to the tensor product coalgebra structure. As an application, we will show that the Drinfel'd double of a finite weak Hopf algebra can be constructed using the weak wreath product associated to an invertible $1$-skew pairing.

La siguiente investigación tiene como eje central a la naturaleza como sujeto de especial protección en Colombia. El objetivo es determinar la importancia que tiene el medio ambiente en la existencia y subsistencia del ser humano, además de distinguir los principales problemas a los que se enfrenta Colombia en materia ambiental. Así mismo, a través de la aplicación del derecho comparado se analizan otras Constituciones que protegen el medio ambiente y consideran la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos.

No obstante, entre los temas más debatidos durante la pospandemia se encuentra la aprobación que hizo el Gobierno nacional de proyectos como la asignación de pruebas piloto de fracking y la expedición de licencias ambientales para la explotación minera. Se pretende analizar los alcances de estas decisiones gubernamentales desde la perspectiva constitucional y en materia de derechos humanos, además de contrastar los supuestos beneficios económicos que esta práctica le genera al país, especialmente como “estrategia” del Gobierno para solventar la crisis económica resultado de la pandemia de covid-19 y de la transgresión de principios constitucionales como la precaución, la prevención, la progresividad y no regresividad, y la prevención de riesgo.

Authors: Semprini Jason
Published: July 2022

Objective: In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. healthcare system reallocated resources to emergency response and mitigation. This reallocation impacted essential healthcare services, including cancer screenings. Methods: To examine how the pandemic impacted cancer screenings at the population-level, this study analyzes 2018 and 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data to estimate the change in the proportion of eligible adults reporting a recent cancer screen (mammogram, pap smear, colon/sigmoidoscopy, blood stool test). All analyses accounted for response rates and sampling weights, then explored differences by gender and rurality across 12 Midwestern states. Results: We found that the proportion of adult women completing a mammogram declined across all states (-0.9% to -18.1%). The change in colon/sigmoidoscopies, pap smears, and blood stool tests were mixed, ranging from a 9.7% decline in pap smears to a 7.1% increase in blood stool tests. Declines varied considerably between states and within states by gender or metro/urban/rural status. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic led to delayed breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer detection services. Policymakers should aim to advance cancer control efforts by implementing targeted screening initiatives.
ANALYSIS OF THE PPF VALUE DEPENDENCE ON THE FUEL BURNUP

Published: July 2022

The RSG-GAS reactor has been operated in a safe and reliable manner for about 35 years since it commenced in operation in 1987 to serve radioisotopes production, NAA, neutron beam experiments, material irradiation, and reactor physics experimental activities as well as training. PPF value is necessary to determine by calculation because it is impossible to determine by experiment and also has a strong relation to the operation safety. The paper is intended to analyze the PPF values of the RSG-GAS reactor core as a function of burn up. The analysis is using WIMSD-5B/BATAN-3DIFF computer codes calculation. The result shows that the PPF values are significantly different for each burn-up or energy in MWD. The result also shows that the BATAN-3DIFF code accurately determines the PPF values of the RSG-GAS reactor core and supports the safety of reactor operation.
Reseña de Agent, Person, Subject, Self. A Theory of ontology, interaction and structure
Authors: Menta Cyril
Published: July 2022

En esta obra, Paul Kockelman estimula la continuidad de sus trabajos de antropología lingüística a través de nuevos campos de especialización. En esta medida desea evaluar sus intuiciones, así como la de otros eminentes lingüistas. Su principal influencia es ciertamente Charles Pierce, semiólogo y  filósofo considerado como el fundador de la corriente pragmática. La semiología, que trata sobre el estudio de los signos, es la que interesa a Kockelman. Según Pierce, un proceso semiótico está constituido por un signo, un objeto y un intérprete. Kockelman se enfoca en el individuo y el espíritu, afirmando que cada  proceso semiótico engendra a su vez otro proceso semiótico.
Bazı Doğal Antioksidanların Sudak (Sander lucioperca) Köftelerinin Kalitesine Etkisi
Authors: BİLGİN Şengül , METİN Selin
Published: July 2022

Bu çalışmada bazı doğal antioksidanların sudak balığı (Sander lucioperca) köftelerinin kalitesine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla balık kıymasına portakal ve limon özütü hem birlikte hem de ayrı ayrı ilave edilerek çeşitli baharat ve katkı maddeleri ile balık köfteleri elde edilmiştir. Çalışmada portakal özütü ilaveli grup (P), limon özütü ilaveli grup (L), portakal ve limonun birlikte ilave edildiği grup (PL) ve hiçbir meyve özütünün ilave edilmediği klasik balık köftesi grubu (K) olmak üzere 4 farklı grup oluşturulmuştur. Balık köfteleri raf ömrü tespiti amacıyla duyusal ve mikrobiyolojik analizleri yapılmış ve 4±1oC’de muhafaza edilmiştir. Mikrobiyolojik analizlerde Toplam Mesofilik Aerobik Bakteri (TMAB), Toplam Psikrofilik Aerobik Bakteri (TPAB) ve Laktik Asit Bakteri (LAB) sayıları depolama süresince gruplara göre farklı değerler sergilemiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre, kullanılan bitki özütleri sudak köftelerini daha iyi korumuştur. Kontrol grubu 15 günde tüketilemeyecek duruma gelirken L ve PL grupları 19. günde, P grubu 21. günde raf ömrünü tamamlamıştır. Duyusal olarak en çok beğenilen grup P grubu olmuştur. En uzun ömürlü ürün de yine P grubu sudak köfteleri olmuştur.

trauma e o Édipo na psicopatologia de Emma a Irma
Authors: Cabral André Fernando Gil Alcon
Published: July 2022

Apresentamos uma leitura teórica da psicopatologia de Freud e Lacan. Inicialmente, recuperamos fragmentos clínicos de Emma, paciente que Freud diagnostica como histérica devido a uma vivência traumática de abuso sexual. Em seguida, retomamos o sonho em que Freud reencontra a paciente. Emma, posteriormente conhecida como Irma, relata sentir dores intensas na garganta. No sonho, a garganta da jovem retorna a Freud, denunciando a falha de sua psicopatologia. Entre Emma e Irma, Freud introduz o Édipo como nova interpretação da etiologia da neurose. Mais do que postular o saber edípico como aquele que responde ao enigma do sintoma, o autor restaura a contradição da poesia trágica. Certamente Lacan esteve atento à leitura freudiana, aproximando-se igualmente do discurso filosófico e matemático. Pela fórmula matemática, análoga àquele impressa na garganta de Irma, vislumbramos um objeto central para pensar a psicopatologia psicanalítica.
The child in the age of digital toys. Review of foreign studies
Authors: Klopotova E.E. , Smirnova S.Y.
Published: July 2022

The article provides an overview of contemporary foreign research on the problem of digital toys and their role in children’s everyday life. Key research directions are indicated: the influence of digital toys on play, communication, analysis of the opportunities of using digital media in education as well as risks of interaction with technologies. Particular attention is paid to contemporary concepts of play (Kawai et al., March, Mizuko It, Giddings) which focus on the intersection of online and offline spaces in play. This requires new research methods for the assessment of opportunities and risks in the process of child-toy interaction. The results show that teaching children using modern technologies provides great opportunities, but when it comes to young children, the number of risks increases significantly. The same applies to the development of communication. The issue of the role of the adult in the organization of children’s interaction with digital toys requires special attention in order to maximize the use of opportunities and minimize the risks for the development of the child. Classification of digital toys based on their specifics is regarded as one of important research directions.
