Authors: Beentjes Titus A A , van Gaal Betsie G I , Vermeulen Hester , Nijhuis-van der Sanden Maria W G , Goossens Peter J J
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

We conducted a trial to test the electronic Illness Management and Recovery (e-IMR) intervention to provide conclusions on the potential efficacy of eHealth for people with severe mental illness (SMI). In the e-IMR intervention, we used the standard IMR program content and methodology and combined face-to-face sessions with internet-based strategies on the constructed e-IMR internet platform. During the trial, the e-IMR platform was sparsely used.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the added value of the e-IMR intervention and the barriers and facilitators that can explain the low use of the e-IMR platform.

METHODS

This process evaluation was designed alongside a multicenter, cluster randomized controlled trial. In this study, we included all available participants and trainers from the intervention arm of the trial. Baseline characteristics were used to compare users with nonusers. Qualitative data were gathered at the end of the semistructured interviews. Using theoretical thematic analyses, the data were analyzed deductively using a pre-existing coding frame.

RESULTS

Out of 41 eligible participants and 14 trainers, 27 participants and 11 trainers were interviewed. Of the 27 participants, 10 were identified as users. eHealth components that had added value were the persuasive nature of the goal-tracking sheets, monitoring, and the peer testimonials, which had the potential to enhance group discussions and disclosure by participants. The low use of the e-IMR platform was influenced by the inflexibility of the platform, the lack of information technology (IT) resources, the group context, participants’ low computer skills and disabilities, and the hesitant eHealth attitude of the trainers.

CONCLUSIONS

The extent of eHealth readiness and correlations with vulnerabilities in persons with SMI need further investigation. This study shows that flexible options were needed for the use of e-IMR components and that options should be provided only in response to a participant’s need. Use of the e-IMR intervention in the future is preconditioned by checking the available IT resources (such as tablets for participants) providing computer or internet guidance to participants outside the group sessions, evaluating the eHealth attitude and skills of trainers, and tailoring eHealth training to increase the skills of future e-IMR trainers.

Towards The Automated, Empirical Filtering of Drug-Drug Interaction Alerts in Clinical Decision Support Systems: Historical Cohort Study of Vitamin K Antagonists (Preprint)
Authors: Chazard Emmanuel , Boudry Augustin , Beeler Patrick Emanuel , Dalleur Olivia , Hubert Hervé , Tréhou Eric , Beuscart Jean-Baptiste , Bates David Westfall
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) involving vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) constitute an important cause of in-hospital morbidity and mortality. However, the list of potential DDIs is long; the implementation of all these interactions in a clinical decision support system (CDSS) results in over-alerting and alert fatigue, limiting the benefits provided by the CDSS.

OBJECTIVE

To estimate the probability of occurrence of international normalized ratio (INR) changes for each DDI rule, via the reuse of electronic health records.

METHODS

An 8-year, exhaustive, population-based, historical cohort study including a French community hospital, a group of Danish community hospitals, and a Bulgarian hospital. The study database included 156,893 stays. After filtering against two criteria (at least one VKA administration and at least one INR laboratory result), the final analysis covered 4047 stays. Exposure to any of the 145 drugs known to interact with VKA was tracked and analyzed if at least 3 patients were concerned. The main outcomes are VKA potentiation (defined as an INR≥5) and VKA inhibition (defined as an INR≤1.5). Groups were compared using the Fisher exact test and logistic regression, and the results were expressed as an odds ratio (95% confidence limits).

RESULTS

The drugs known to interact with VKAs either did not have a statistically significant association regarding the outcome (47 drug administrations and 14 discontinuations) or were associated with significant reduction in risk of its occurrence (odds ratio<1 for 18 administrations and 21 discontinuations).

CONCLUSIONS

The probabilities of outcomes obtained were not those expected on the basis of our current body of pharmacological knowledge. The results do not cast doubt on our current pharmacological knowledge per se but do challenge the commonly accepted idea whereby this knowledge alone should be used to define when a DDI alert should be displayed. Real-life probabilities should also be considered during the filtration of DDI alerts by CDSSs, as proposed in SPC-CDSS (statistically prioritized and contextualized CDSS). However, these probabilities may differ from one hospital to another and so should probably be calculated locally.

UNSTRUCTURED

Despite significant efforts, the COVID-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on health care systems around the world, threatening the quality of patient care. Telemonitoring offers the opportunity to carefully monitor patients with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 from home and allows for the timely identification of worsening symptoms. Additionally, it may decrease the number of hospital visits and admissions, thereby reducing the use of scarce resources, optimizing health care capacity, and minimizing the risk of viral transmission. In this paper, we present a COVID-19 telemonitoring care pathway developed at a tertiary care hospital in the Netherlands, which combined the monitoring of vital parameters with video consultations for adequate clinical assessment. Additionally, we report a series of medical, scientific, organizational, and ethical recommendations that may be used as a guide for the design and implementation of telemonitoring pathways for COVID-19 and other diseases worldwide.

Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

Evidence regarding the effectiveness of contact tracing of COVID-19 and the related social distancing is limited and inconclusive.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in South Korea and evaluate whether a social distancing campaign is effective in mitigating the spread of COVID-19.

METHODS

We used contract tracing data to investigate the epidemic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in South Korea and evaluate whether a social distancing campaign was effective in mitigating the spread of COVID-19. We calculated the mortality rate for COVID-19 by infection type (cluster vs noncluster) and tested whether new confirmed COVID-19 trends changed after a social distancing campaign.

RESULTS

There were 2537 patients with confirmed COVID-19 who completed the epidemiologic survey: 1305 (51.4%) cluster cases and 1232 (48.6%) noncluster cases. The mortality rate was significantly higher in cluster cases linked to medical facilities (11/143, 7.70% vs 5/1232, 0.41%; adjusted percentage difference 7.99%; 95% CI 5.83 to 10.14) and long-term care facilities (19/221, 8.60% vs 5/1232, 0.41%; adjusted percentage difference 7.56%; 95% CI 5.66 to 9.47) than in noncluster cases. The change in trends of newly confirmed COVID-19 cases before and after the social distancing campaign was significantly negative in the entire cohort (adjusted trend difference –2.28; 95% CI –3.88 to –0.68) and the cluster infection group (adjusted trend difference –0.96; 95% CI –1.83 to –0.09).

CONCLUSIONS

In a nationwide contact tracing study in South Korea, COVID-19 linked to medical and long-term care facilities significantly increased the risk of mortality compared to noncluster COVID-19. A social distancing campaign decreased the spread of COVID-19 in South Korea and differentially affected cluster infections of SARS-CoV-2.

Authors: Brito Cruz Luis , Mejía Reyes Pablo
Published: June 2020

En esta investigación se analiza la evolución del empleo manufacturero en México entre 1970 y 2013, mediante panel de datos espaciales, con el objetivo de identificar efectos de interacción espacial a nivel de estados. Además, bajo el enfoque de la Nueva Economía Keynesiana se asume que el empleo de esa industria se correlaciona positivamente con la producción bruta total y, de manera negativa, con lossalarios reales y la productividad total factorial. Se halló evidencia de efectos de desbordamientos y tasas de retroalimentación espacial que indican procesos intrarregionales de reforzamiento circular y  acumulativo que favorecen la generación de empleo.
Risks and Countermeasures of Flexible Employment in Enterprises under the Sharing Economy
Authors: Xu Xinpeng , Wang Youjing , Li Linshu
Published: June 2020

The sharing economy has brought great challenges to the traditional employment mode of enterprises, and also provided important opportunities for their innovation. In this context, how to combine their own production and operation conditions to find a suitable employment model is an inevitable choice to optimize the labor cost. External conditions such as the optimization of the legal system, the support and guidance of the state in social security policies are also essential.
Rendering over W. B. Yeats’ Selected Poems from Feminist Perspective
Authors: Adhikary Dr. Ramesh Prasad
Published: June 2020

This research article focuses on W. B. Yeats' poetry from the feminist perspective taking the ideas of Simone De Beauvoir and Elaine Showalter. This paper observes that W. B. Yeats has supported women issues in his poetry. His poetry presents the women‘s pathetic condition in patriarchal society and sometimes his poetry gives rebellious character to the women. Despite being a male, Yeats has able to suspend male ego in many of his poem. He believes that for the better world men and women should have equality. In this research paper I have selected W.B Yeats' poems entitled "The Living Beauty", "A Prayer for My Daughter", "Leda and the Swan", "The lady's First Song", "The Heart of the Women", "That Crazy Girl", "The Lover Mourns for the Loss of Love" and “Crazy Jane Talks with Bishop" to analyze with feminist perspective . In the selected poems, Yeats raises the voice of women who are suppressed by patriarchy. As a qualitative research, this researcher has purposively selected the poems of W. B Yeats and analyzed them by applying feminism as a tool.
Causal inference and adjustment for reference-arm risk in indirect treatment comparison meta-analysis
Authors: Swallow Elyse , Patterson-Lomba Oscar , Ayyagari Rajeev , Pelletier Corey , Mehta Rina , Signorovitch James
Published: June 2020

Aim:
To illustrate that bias associated with indirect treatment comparison and network meta-analyses can be reduced by adjusting for outcomes on common reference arms.
Materials & methods:
Approaches to adjusting for reference-arm effects are presented within a causal inference framework. Bayesian and Frequentist approaches are applied to three real data examples.
Results:
Reference-arm adjustment can significantly impact estimated treatment differences, improve model fit and align indirectly estimated treatment effects with those observed in randomized trials. Reference-arm adjustment can possibly reverse the direction of estimated treatment effects.
Conclusion:
Accumulating theoretical and empirical evidence underscores the importance of adjusting for reference-arm outcomes in indirect treatment comparison and network meta-analyses to make full use of data and reduce the risk of bias in estimated treatments effects.
Beyond scandal? Blockchain technologies and the fragile legitimacy of post-2008 finance
Authors: Campbell-Verduyn Malcolm , Hütten Moritz
Published: June 2020

How do applications of emergent technologies contribute to the social legitimacy of finance? To address this question, we examine a set of technologies that have received increasing industry, media, and scholarly attention over the past decade: blockchains. Harnessing the concepts of ‘moral economy’ and ‘scandal’, we identify both possibilities and limits for blockchain applications to legitimate a range of monetary and investment activities. However, we also find that a persistent individualisation of responsibility for failures and shortcomings with ‘live’ blockchain experimentation has undermined the potentially legitimating aspects of this technology. Combining a reliance on technological fixes with a persistent individualist moral economy, we conclude, works against efforts to confront head-on the tensions underpinning the on-going legitimacy crises facing finance.
Financialisation and the limits of circuit theory
Authors: Lysandrou Photis
Published: June 2020

The theory of the monetary circuit aims to provide a highly stylised account of the workings of a modern monetary production economy. While there may have been a time when it succeeded in this aim, that time is over. The key development in the monetary sphere of capitalism over recent decades is the advent of financialisation, a phenomenon that circuit theory cannot explain other than by omitting some of its most important characterising features while indiscriminately dismissing those features that it does address as dysfunctional outgrowths. The fact is that a theory that has the aggregate monetary circuit as its methodological framework and whose sole focus is on the financing needs of firms is simply not flexible enough to accommodate the new reality of financialisation. To make that accommodation what is needed is a framework that is sufficiently elastic as to be able to encompass a broad range of socio-economic factors, most notably those associated with demographic change, as co-drivers of financialisaton. This article argues that a framework based on Marx's commodity principle meets this requirement.
Cutting the network? Facebook's Libra currency as a problem of organisation
Authors: Tischer Daniel
Published: June 2020

This essay explores the organisational character of Facebook's Libra currency by undertaking a critical reading of documents published by the Libra Association. Drawing on the conceptual work of Marilyn Strathern and Michel Serres, it illustrates how ownership cuts the network and encourages parasitism as a means of driving future profit. Central to this is the claim that Libra is not an exercise in democratising money, but rather, the opposite: Libra is run as a club, for the benefit of club members. The conceptual theme of ‘cutting’ is used to organise the argument. Rather than a cutting-edge technology, Libra's true innovation is organisational and consists in overturning the decentralised character of blockchain, such that distributed ledger technology is re-centralised by big tech firms. Outsiders are thus cut-off from Libra; only those inside the club have the right to participate in Libra and its governance. This position also affords members an exclusive capacity to take a cut of the profits generated through Libra. As a private organisation, members have sole rights to future profits generated from the Libra ecosystem and are in this way incentivised to create new product opportunities over time.
Macro-finance and the financialisation of economic policy
Authors: Knafo Samuel
Published: June 2020

Reflecting on the broad ambitions of macro-finance, I argue that the commitment
to placing finance at the centre of our economic conceptions comes with
significant risks that speak directly to the politics of financialisation. By
redirecting the focus of economic governance towards finance, macro-finance may
consolidate rather than challenge the problematic trends of global finance. More
specifically, I argue that the focus of the money view on liquidity has
contributed to depoliticising financial governance and aligning it further with
the demands of financialisation.

Posibilidad de una psicología fenomenológica sobre las bases de una fenomenología de la persona en acción
Authors: López Lopéz Andrés Felipe
Published: June 2020

La formulación de una Antropología filosófica fundada en una Fenomenología de la persona se presenta aquí como el principio de validez de una psicología fenomenológica que garantiza el estudio de los fenómenos psíquicos con una nueva actitud: la actitud fenomenológica como reducción fenomenológica, que aplicada a la investigación y la intervención del psicólogo en el contexto clínico asegura que el ser humano sea visto en su singularidad especial y no con teorías que determinan que el hombre-sujeto ya está dado como una realidad estática. La idea del presente escrito es recuperar la existencia del hombre como devenir; la persona es sujeto de sus acciones y por ellas se llega al eidos de la unidad sustancial psico-física que es.
“Psicología constructivista”: el efecto del lenguaje en la determinación del psiquismo y la práctica psicoterapéutica
Authors: Tobón Cañas Nicolás , Céspedes Gerardo , Silva Deysi , Londoño Luisa , Giraldo Luz M , Cruz Nelson
Published: June 2020

En este artículo se presenta la concepción de la psicología constructivista acerca del lenguaje y su efecto en la configuración del psiquismo y su utilidad en la práctica psicoterapéutica. Desde esa perspectiva el lenguaje se revela en la condición de un “proceso constitutivo del ser humano en la construcción de la realidad que sirve para explicarla y explicarse a sí mismo” (Balbi, 2004). En ese contexto, el constructivismo en psicología es una corriente cognitiva en la cual en el lenguaje aparecen las habilidades mentales y la construcción de distinciones y construcciones de nociones acerca del mundo, la subjetividad, la realidad, el semejante y de la interacción en los escenarios sociales. Se establece un abordaje psicoterapéutico a partir del lenguaje en que se comprende la determinación del psiquismo en la condición de producto del efecto representativo y narrativo de las redes lingüísticas en las personas. De donde se desprende que la intervención ha de dirigirse al lenguajear de los pacientes, en tanto es el elemento humano a través del cual dan cuenta de las formas singulares y maneras propias que se tienen para asumir las realidades, establecer vínculos, la cotidianidad, la cultura, su historia y elaborar construcciones acerca de la vida y su destino. En esos términos el lenguaje es establecido en la categoría de base del psiquismo y sustento de la orientación del tratamiento y el dispositivo psicoterapéutico.

Improved starting solutions for the planar p-median problem
Authors: Brimberg Jack , Drezner Zvi
Published: June 2020

In this paper we present two new approaches for finding good starting solutions to the planar p-median problem. Both methods rely on a discrete approximation of the continuous model that restricts the facility locations to the given set of demand points. The first method adapts the first phase of a greedy random construction algorithm proposed for the minimum sum of squares clustering problem. The second one implements a simple descent procedure based on vertex exchange. The resulting solution is then used as a starting point in a local search heuristic that iterates between the well-known Cooper?s alternating locate-allocate method and a transfer follow-up step with a new and more effective selection rule. Extensive computational experiments show that (1) using good starting solutions can significantly improve the performance of local search, and (2) using a hybrid algorithm that combines good starting solutions with a \deep" local search can be an effective strategy for solving a diversity of planar p-median problems.
Enhanced Release of Glucose into the Intraluminal Space of the Intestine Associated with Metformin Treatment as Revealed by [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose PET-MRI
Authors: Morita Yasuko , Nogami Munenobu , Sakaguchi Kazuhiko , Okada Yuko , Hirota Yushi , Sugawara Kenji , Tamori Yoshikazu , Zeng Feibi , Murakami Takamichi , Ogawa Wataru
Published: June 2020

OBJECTIVE

Positron
emission tomography (PET)–computed tomography has revealed that metformin
promotes the intestinal accumulation of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), a
nonmetabolizable glucose derivative. It has remained unknown, however, whether
this accumulation occurs in the wall or intraluminal space of the intestine. We
here addressed this question with the use of [18F]FDG PET–magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a recently developed imaging
modality with increased accuracy of registration and high soft-tissue contrast.

RESEARCH
DESIGN AND METHODS

Among 244
individuals with type 2 diabetes who underwent PET-MRI, we
extracted 24 pairs of subjects matched for age, BMI, and HbA1c level
who were (metformin group) or were not (control group) receiving treatment with
metformin. We evaluated
accumulation of [18F]FDG in different portions of the intestine with
both a visual scale and measurement of maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), and such accumulation
within the intestinal wall or lumen was discriminated on the basis of SUVmax.

RESULTS

SUVmax of the jejunum,
ileum, and right or left hemicolon was greater in the metformin
group than in the control group. [18F]FDG accumulation in the ileum and right or
left hemicolon as assessed with the visual scale was also greater
in the metformin group. SUVmax for the intraluminal
space of the ileum and right or left hemicolon, but not that for the intestinal
wall, was greater in the metformin group than in the control group.

CONCLUSIONS

Metformin treatment was associated with increased accumulation
of [18F]FDG in the intraluminal space of the intestine, suggesting that
this drug promotes the transport of glucose from the circulation into stool.

Upaya meningkatkan produksi dan produktivitas lahan pertanian saat ini bukan hal yang mudah karena ketersediaan lahan pertanian yang relatif tetap, bahkan cenderung berkurang karena berbagai faktor. Salah satu alternatif yang bisa dilakukan dalam jangka pendek adalah memperbaiki kesuburan lahan tandus yang selama ini digunakan masyarakat petani sebagai sumber mata pencahariannya. Tujuan dari program pengabdian kepada masyarakat bagi mitra petani adalah mengintroduksikan teknologi biochar untuk memperbaiki lahan kritis (tandus dan berbatu) dan mengevaluasi usahatan yang ada. Metode yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah penyuluhan dan pelatihan pembuatan biochar (teknologi), pemberian bantuan alat pembuat biochar dan bibit tanaman, serta pendampingan kepada petani mitra di Desa Jetak, Kecamatan Montong, Kabupaten Tuban. Petani mulai memahami teknologi biochardan manfaatnya bagi usahatani di lahan kritis, menggunakan teknologi biochar, dan manajemen usahatani berbasis teknologi biochar. Petani telah sadar bahwa aplikasi biochar dapat menurunkan biaya usahatani karena dibuat dari limbah pertanian yang tersedia berlimpah. Alat produksi biochar relatif murah dan terjangkau bagi petani yang ingin memperbaiki kondisi lahannya yang kritis.Kata kunci: Biochar; Lahan Kritis; Teknologi Sederhana.AbstractEfforts to increase production and productivity of agricultural land at this time is not easy because the availability of agricultural land is relatively fixed, and even tends to decrease due to various factors. One alternative that can be done in the short term is to improve the fertility of the barren land that has been used by the farming community as a source of livelihood. The aim of the community service program for farmer partners is to introduce biochar technology to improve critical land (barren and rocky) and evaluate existing farming. The methods used to achieve these objectives are counseling and training in making biochar (technology), providing assisting in making biochar tools and plant seeds, as well as assistance to partner farmers in Jetak Village, Montong District, Tuban District. Farmers are beginning to understand biochar technology and its benefits for farming on degraded land, using biochar technology, and farm management based on biochar technology. Farmers are aware that biochar application can reduce farming costs because it is made from abundant available agricultural waste. Biochar production equipment is relatively inexpensive and affordable for farmers who want to improve their critical land conditions.Keywords: Appropriate Technology; Biochar; Critical Land.

O conceito de produto essencial para fins de responsabilização do fornecedor em caso de vício
Authors: Alves Fabricio Germano , Ferreira Egle Rigel Gonçalves
Published: June 2020

O presente estudo traz uma reflexão acerca do conceito de “essencialidade” aplicado aos produtos nas relações de consumo. Procura-se a definição de parâmetros que possam indicar quais produtos podem ser considerados essenciais no tocante à aplicação da responsabilidade do fornecedor por vício do produto prevista no art. 18, §3° do Código de Defesa do Consumidor (Lei Federal nº 8.078/1990). Essa questão ainda suscita muitos questionamentos na atualidade, pois existe uma variedade de produtos cada vez maior que é disponibilizada no mercado de consumo. Uma melhor definição da referida essencialidade pode amenizar a situação de vulnerabilidade do consumidor perante o fornecedor. Para tanto, tem-se como objetivos a identificação do que deve ser considerado um “produto essencial”, juntamente com uma análise do caráter subjetivo da essencialidade do produto para o consumidor. A metodologia empregada define-se como pesquisa aplicada, com abordagem hipotético-dedutiva e qualitativa, com objetivo descritivo e propósito de propor avaliação formativa. Realiza-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica e análise jurisprudencial. Em suma, deve-se considerar essencial o produto que é imprescindível para o dia a dia do consumidor.

The Personalistic System of Healthcare in Indonesia: A Case Study
Authors: Mulyana Deddy
Published: June 2020

The healthcare reality is composed of  biomedical,  naturalistic, and  personalistic systems. Although the three healthcare systems go separately, to some extent they are overlapped. This study aims to explore alternative healing practices in Indonesia based on the personalistic system. The method used is a case study. Data was collected in several big cities (Bandung, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Palembang, Batam and Makassar) in Indonesia through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with stakeholders of healthcare programs on media, interviews with physicians, alternative therapists and patients, observation of alternative therapies, and media content analysis. The results indicate that the healthcare practices based on the personalistic system is widespread throughout Indonesia, including religious treatment (often called ruqyah) involving religious chants and prayers. With some using herbal medicine, a lot of alternative therapies based on the personalistic system have been promoted through word of mouth (interpersonal communication) by common people as patients as well as through the electronic media (especially television), and print media (especially newspapers) in many areas in the country.

The Japanese occupation of East Asia during World War II was accompanied by its propaganda targeted to the local population. In Indonesia, the military government, among other things, published Djawa Baroe, a fortnightly magazine published from January 1, 1943 to August 1, 1945.Compared to other magazines, this bilingual magazine (in Japanese and Bahasa Indonesia) Djawa Baroe was unique: it featured ample photographs and illustrations. Qualitative content analysis method enables this study to find the meaning of a theme in its holistic political, social, and cultural contexts beyond the number of its occurrences in the text offered by quantitative content analysis. All the issues of Djawa Baroe are examined in detail and reiteratively. Six themes can be found in Djawa Baroe, i.e., the friendship between Japanese and Indonesians, the description of Japanese military prowess, the exaltation of nationalism and the preparation for the war, the evil nature of Western power, the role of women in society, and entertainment. The study concludes that along with the development of the Pacific War that turned against the Japanese, Djawa Baroe moved its emphasis on long-range goals at the high psychological level to influence and win the hearts and minds of Indonesian people, to a more immediate result and practical guide in facing the imminent war. On the other hand, against the original intention of the Japanese propaganda, Djawa Baroe may have helped its educated readers to imagine their future nation-state, Indonesia. Keywords: Djawa Baroe; Wartime propaganda; Japanese occupation; nation-building

O presente trabalho é parte de estudos do doutorado que transformou a pesquisa em um produto material de ação social. O trabalho buscou o aprofundamento dos saberes, práticas de usos de ervas medicinais utilizados por mulheres assentadas do Monte Alegre comparada aos usos e indicações orientadas pelo SUS- Sistema Único de Saúde. Através de entrevistas e depoimentos com mulheres, bem como visita aos lotes, levantou-se um inventário da produção, formas de consumo, utilizações e os tipos de ervas produzidos por estas mulheres. No que se refere propriamente à fundamentação teórica buscou-se discutir questões relativas às orientações legais dos usos destas ervas no SUS em relação à prática das assentadas. Embora os usos ligados às ervas pelas mulheres estejam ligados aos hábitos tradicionais, é possível perceber, nas orientações legais, uma articulação entre o uso tradicional e o racional da área médica.  Por fim, o trabalho buscou mostrar a relação entre saberes tradicionais e as orientações legais, evidenciando o importante papel da tradição para novas estudos e validação científica/ médica.

Kualitas merupakan faktor utama kesuksesan sebuah website. Salah satu karakteristik kualitas perangkat lunak menurut ISO 9126 adalah usabilitas. Pengukuran usabilitas sebuah website adalah hal yang penting mengingat sangat besarnya jumlah website saat ini. Salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan untuk mengevaluasi usabilitas website adalah framework Sirius. Sirius dapat menghasilkan nilai usabilitas global dan daftar elemen antarmuka sistem yang perlu diperbaiki. Namun, elemen-elemen ini belum diatur berdasarkan prioritas pengembang sistem dan hanya mempertimbangkan nilai peningkatan yaitu prosentasi perbaikan nilai usabilitas global jika elemen tersebut diperbaiki. Untuk itu dibutuhkan sebuah teknik untuk memprioritaskan elemen-elemen tersebut berdasarkan sudut pandang pengembang sistem sehingga sesuai dengan sumber daya yang dimiliki oleh pihak pengembang. Salah satu teknik yang dapat digunakan adalah Moscow. Moscow dapat mengelompokkan seluruh kebutuhan ke dalam 4 (empat) kelas berdasarkan tingkat prioritasnya. Penelitian ini melakukan modifikasi terhadap framework Sirius dengan menambahkan tahap perangkingan menggunakan teknik Moscow.  Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, penambahan tahap pengaturan prioritas dengan Teknik Moscow memberikan urutan kriteria usability yang lebih baik dalam hal nilai bisnis, resiko, dan biaya pembangunan website. Setiap tim pengembang website yang dianalisis memberikan hasil pengaturan prioritas Moscow yang berbeda-beda. Bagi tim website Lective, kriteria usability paling penting adalah berkaitan dengan aspek labelling, sedangkan bagi pengembang website Seminar Indonesia, aspek paling penting adalah kelompok comprehensibility and ease of interaction. Adapun pengembang website Simkesmas lebih menekankan pada aspek control and feedback. AbstractQuality became the key element for website deployment. Based on the ISO 9126, one of the quality characteristics in software engineering is usability. The usability measurement on a website is an essential topic nowadays along with the incremental growth of it. One of the evaluation methods that can be used for analysing website usability is Sirius Framework. This method can produce global usability values and the list of a user interface element that should be modified. However, those elements have not been adjusted based on developer priority system which only considers the increased value of each element - the percentage of modified global usability value. Therefore, A technique called MoSCoW was introduced for prioritizing those elements from a developer point of views which corresponds to its available resource. MoSCoW can categorize all of the requirements into 4 distinct classes based on priority. This paper was performed for extending the Sirius Framework for implementing the ranking system by using MoSCoW. The experiment results showed that the MoSCoW method for priority adjustment process could produce better usability criteria on business, risk, and cost value during website development.
