Background

Mobile health interventions are widely used for self-management of diabetes, which is one of the most burdensome noncommunicable chronic diseases worldwide. However, little is known about the distribution of characteristics and functions of in-store mobile apps for diabetes.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the distribution of characteristics and functions of the in-store mobile apps for self-management of diabetes in the United States and China using a predefined functional taxonomy, which was developed and published in our previous study.

Methods

We identified apps by searching diabetes in English or Chinese in the Apple iTunes Store and Android Markets (both in the United States and China) and included apps for diabetes self-management. We examined the validity and reliability of the predefined functional taxonomy with 3 dimensions: clinical module, functional module, and potential risk. We then classified all functions in the included apps according to the predefined taxonomy and compared the differences in the features of these apps between the United States and China.

Results

We included 171 mobile diabetes apps, with 133 from the United States and 38 from China. Apps from both countries faced the challenges of evidence-based information, proper risk assessment, and declaration, especially Chinese apps. More Chinese apps provide app-based communication functions (general communication: Chinese vs US apps, 39%, 15/38 vs 18.0%, 24/133; P=.006 and patient-clinician communication: Chinese vs US apps, 68%, 26/38 vs 6.0%, 8/133; P<.001), whereas more US apps provide the decision-making module (Chinese vs US apps, 0%, 0/38 vs 23.3%, 31/133; P=.001), which is a high-risk module. Both complication prevention (Chinese vs US apps, 8%, 3/38 vs 3.8%, 5/133; P=.50) and psychological care (Chinese vs US apps, 0%, 0/38 vs 0.8%, 1/133; P>.99) are neglected by the 2 countries.

Conclusions

The distribution of characteristics and functions of in-store mobile apps for diabetes self-management in the United States was different from China. The design of in-store diabetes apps needs to be monitored closely.

PROSPEK PEMANFAATAN KAYU KARET SEBAGAI BAHAN BAKU PEMBUATAN PULP
Authors: Vachlepi, M.T Afrizal
Published: July 2019

Kebutuhan kayu hutan sebagai bahan baku industri mengalami peningkatan termasuk untuk industri pembuatan pulp dan kertas. Sementara itu, pasokan kayu hutan justru mengalami penurunan akibat semakin terbatasnya areal hutan alam. Oleh karena itu perlu alternatif pengganti bahan baku kayu yang bukan berasal dari hutan alam dan mempunyai nilai ekonomi rendah seperti kayu karet dari peremajaan perkebunan karet. Potensi kayu karet sangat besar akibat dari tingginya jumlah tanaman karet tua yang harus diremajakan terutama di perkebunan rakyat. Pulp adalah bahan berserat hasil pengolahan lignoselulosa dan digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan kertas, rayon (serat buatan) dan derivat selulosa lainnya. Pulp merupakan produk antara dalam industri pembuatan kertas. Bahan baku pembuatan pulp berasal dari bahan berselulosa seperti kayu dan bukan kayu. Kayu karet mempunyai kandungan holoselulosa yang cukup tinggi sekitar 67% dengan ά-selulosa sekitar 40% sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku penghasil pulp. Mutu serat pada kayu karet lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kayu akasia sehingga lebih cocok untuk dijadikan bahan baku pulp dan kertas. Proses pembuatan pulp dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai cara, seperti mekanis, kimia dan semi kimia.Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa secara umum kayu karet dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku alternatif untuk pembuatan pulp dan kertas. Kayu karet dapat diproses sendiri sebagai bahan baku pembuatan pulp atau bisa juga dicampurkan dengan kayudari hutan tanaman industri (HTI) seperti pinus, sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria) dan jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba).

A pálida História das Artes Visuais no Brasil: onde estamos negras e negros?
Authors: Santos Renata Aparecida Felinto dos
Published: July 2019

Este artigo trata de como as produções em artes visuais que foram e são realizadas por artistas visuais negras e negros têm sido apagadas dos registros históricos, como livros e, consequentemente, do ensino de artes visuais. Quando são apresentados esses protagonismos e produções o são por meio de capítulos específicos em publicações e momentos pontuais em sala de aula para tratar de "arte negra" ou "afro-brasileira", dando a frágil percepção de que estamos incluindo a Lei 10.639/03 no currículo escolar, quando em verdade, continuamos a apartar os saberes da visualidade criados por essas e esses artistas daquele que chamamos de Artes Visuais, com letras maiúsculas. Propormos que artistas visuais negras e negros tenham suas biografias e criações aproximadas dos movimentos artísticos que já são estudados em artes visuais, quando possível, e quando não o for, que sejam apresentadas e apresentados como produção coetânea e paralela ao reconhecimento acadêmico e hegemônico, contextualizando sempre as disputas e supressões de narrativas que colocam o eurocentrismo como eixo da história das artes visuais e da humanidade. Dessa forma, propomos que a decolonialidade seja praticada em sala de aula e não apenas um termo contemporâneo utilizado nos estudos acadêmicos em humanidades numa perspectiva antirracista dos escritos.

A materialidade da língua em alguns aspectos da aquisição e da mudança (The materiality of language in some aspects of acquisition and change)
Authors: Ferreira Netto Waldemar
Published: July 2019

Neste artigo discute-se a aquisição e a mudança da língua como uma consequência da percepção de sua materialidade. Para isso, foram considerados os modelos da family resemblance e do perceptual magnet effect propostos por Elianor Rusch, a partir de Wittgenstein, e por Patricia Kuhl respectivamente, complementados pela hipótese do motherese como estímulo. Tais propostas foram tomadas como ponto de partida para a aquisição. A mudança, por sua vez, partiu dos modelos da Teoria Matemática da Comunicação, de Claude Shannon, tal como foi reformulado por Roman Jakobson e por Niklas Luhmann. Dados do Finlandês e do Alemão foram considerados como argumentos que justificassem a mudança do Latim para o Português como decorrência da percepção segundo os modelos propostos. Com base nesses argumentos, concluiu-se que a mudança decorreria de reações cumulativas, caracterizadas como aquisição pela formação inicial de formas prototípicas que sofreriam mudanças subsequentes conforme o sistema reaja aos estímulos externos.
O contexto de riso numa perspectiva multimodal: contribuições para a aquisição da linguagem (The laugther context in a multimodal perspective: contributions to language acquisition)
Authors: Cavalcante Marianne Carvalho B. , Lima Valdenice Pereira de
Published: July 2019

Esse artigo tratará da multimodalidade, enfatizando o uso do riso pela criança, com idade dos 16 aos 24 meses de vida. O principal objetivo é investigar como o riso enquanto instância multimodal é construído na relação com o outro; bem como compreender o seu papel na aquisição da linguagem. Tomamos como referência Del Ré (2003, 2006), que trata do riso ao discutir o humor na aquisição da linguagem e teorias referentes ao riso e à multimodalidade em aquisição da linguagem. Metodologicamente, realizamos um estudo longitudinal, cujo corpus foi composto por filmagens de interação mãe-bebê, entre os 16 e 24 meses, de forma mais natural possível. Os dados analisados foram transcritos no software ELAN. Partimos da hipótese de que as rotinas envolvendo o riso vão se constituindo através da multimodalidade, guiadas pelo movimento dialógico entre adulto e criança. Tais resultados confirmam nossa tese de que a criança utiliza o riso como elemento multimodal para estabelecer interação com os que o cercam.

Published: July 2019

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um projeto de pesquisa que objetivou criar um sistema de escrita para línguas de sinais, que pudesse ser grafado de formar manuscrita e digital e que pudesse ser adquirido por seres humanos com relativa facilidade. Concentramos esforços na investigação da natureza articulatória do sinal da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) a fim de poder produzir um sistema de representação escrita dessa língua que pudesse se submeter à automatização do processamento. Nossa investigação nos levou à identificação da estrutura articulatória dos sinais da Libras, constituída em quatro níveis hierárquicos. Com base nessa estrutura, elaboramos o sistema de escrita para línguas de sinais SEL, que, além desse critério, fundamenta-se nos aspectos arbitrariedade e linearidade. Como resultado, obtivemos um sistema capaz de representar a Libras na modalidade escrita, de forma linear, abarcando sua tridimensionalidade com alto grau de precisão e atendendo à condição de automatização do processamento na leitura e na escrita.

The specificities of the climate of Danilovgrad (Montenegro)
Authors: Buric Dragan , Milenkovic Milan , Ducic Vladan
Published: July 2019

Danilovgrad and the Bjelopavlica Plain belong to the submediterranean zone of
the Mediterranean climate region. The aim of this paper was to determine
some specific characteristics of the Danilovgrad climate, such as the degree
of continentality, aridity and bioclimatic characteristics. Data used in the
research cover the period 1955-2011. The results of the study showed the
dominance of the continental effect on temperature, while oceanicity was
less pronounced. In hygric terms, during most of the year the climate of
Danilovgrad is characterized as low humid to perhumid. Moreover, in the
period October-March it is very humid, which points to the domination of
oceanic influences. During the three summer months, it is dry to very dry.
Based on the average monthly values of the equivalent temperature - an
indicator of physiological (subjective) feeling of heat, the winter months
in Danilovgrad are not assessed as very cold. It is cold in January, and in
February and December it is cool. It is fresh in March and November,
comfortable in April and October, and warm in May and September. In
Danilovgrad, in summer it is overheated and a little muggy. All considered
indicators point to quite pronounced oscillations during the year,
especially in terms of humidity. Comparing the obtained results with
Podgorica, it can be concluded that the climate of Danilovgrad is more
continental, a bit colder and wetter.
Endogeneity and nonlinearity in the environmental Kuznets curve: A control function approach
Authors: Caglayan-Akay Ebru , Kangalli-Uyar Sinem
Published: July 2019

This study investigates the existence and shape of an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) across 16 developed countries and 58 developing countries during the period 1995-2010. The basic model of the EKC is a polynomial equation of real GDP per capita. The EKC model estimated for CO2 emission per capita was extended by using control variables, such as trade, urban population, fossil fuel consumption, and service sector. Based on the nonparametric test of poolability of Badi H. Baltagi, Javier Hidalgo, and Qi Li (1996), the relationship was found to have structural stability. A nonparametric pooled regression model was constructed, which allowed functional form flexibility and considered the endogeneity problem often emphasized in the EKC literature. The estimation results show the nonexistence of an EKC for both groups. The study also indicates the existence of nonlinearity and heterogeneity in the relationships between CO2 emission and the control variables across both groups.

The Federal Republic of Germany is one of the last member states of the European Union that have liberalized the market of the longdistance buses (interurban buses). Since 1935 until the end of 2012 the access to the market was strictly regulated. Bus companies were allowed only when the bus transport does not threaten the position of railways, and it was only a supplement. The beginning of 2013 lifted most of the restrictions. It has started a dynamic growth of the market. The long-distance buses have changed significantly the urban transport policy as well as have boosted the intermodal competition in the segment of long-distance transport. In the German cities have appeared significant traffic generators, and space of bus terminals turned to be insufficient. Coaches, despite legal restrictions, have become part of the regional transport systems. The unaccustomed to competition national railway carrier – Deutsche Bahn – was forced to find a new position in the market. The answer was to increase the number of promotional tickets. At the same time at the bus market has begun the processes of concentration. The dominant company acquired more than 90 percent of the market. The rapid development of the long-distance buses caused the questions about the extension of a present of motorways toll for lorries also for buses. From the perspective of six years, the liberalization of the bus market to be considered, however, as having a positive impact on transport policy. Most of the passengers using interurban buses used to use private cars, not the railways, as originally feared.

Published: July 2019

The work presents the issue of selecting means of transport that perform specific logistic tasks in supply chains. The paper explains the concept of allocation in supply chains, effectiveness and discusses the indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the realized allocation. Technical, economic and quality indicators were distinguished among the assessment indicators. The problem of allocation in supply chains is a complex decision problem considered in the context of optimization tasks with multi-criteria evaluation functions. In addition, technical and technological conditions determining the effective allocation of resources in the supply chain were characterized, and the concept of transport efficiency with continuous and intermittent operation was defined. The paper also presents the algorithm for building a supply chain assessment model, defines its most important steps and presents the algorithm for selecting the effective allocation of technical means. The conclusions that can be drawn from the conducted analyzes allow to state that it is justified to search for and identify all activities that may be logistic in order to plan and control the mutual influence of some activities (decisions) on other, sometimes very remote in time, in strategic dimension.

Tuberculosis is a contagious disease that remains a health problem worldwide. Treatment of tuberculosis is one of the main strategies in controlling tuberculosis because it can break the transmission chain, especially in families of household contacts where transmission is twice as risky as casual or unfamiliar contact. The purpose of this study was to analyze secondary data on patient adherence to pulmonary tuberculosis treatment sessions and transmission to household contact families in 2016-2017 at a private hospital in Indonesia. This research used a correlative descriptive design with Secondary Data Analysis (ADS) approach using existing data as primary data that is TB 06 and TB 09 data, TB 01 (medical card TB PKM). The population  in this research was based on the report of patient data of TB DOTS year 2016-2017 with 60 TB patients. The statistical analysis used was Pearson’s r. The result of the research showed that the patient’s adherence of pulmonary tuberculosis to treatment sessions. [D1] The value of adherence was seen from all respondents of tuberculosis patients which coming to the referral clinic according to the TB 06, and TB 09. As well as the patient’s record card at the referral clinic showed all the respondents routinely took the anti tuberculosis medication and completed the  treatment as recommended by the doctor. Investigation based on 60 respondents, there is 23.3% or 14 people diagnosed based on sputums, while remaining 46 people or 76.7% [D2] based on radiology results. Identification of household contact families members found positive sputum smear examination of 5 people (8.3%) and found to be undergoing tuberculosis treatment as many as 4 people (6.7%).The results of this study found a relationship between tuberculosis patient adherence to treatment sessions and transmission to household contact family with P value 0.001 (<0.05) with a moderate correlation (r) = 0.378%.  For further [D3] treatment, the nurse includes TB 06 and TB 09 sheets for follow up treatment at the public health service center. [D1]Edit the sentence [D2]Please use the correct sentence to explains this data [D3]Are tb patients hospitalized?
