Authors: Avsec Andreja , Belasheva Irina , Cenek Jiri , Khan Azizuddin , Mohorić Tamara , Takšić Vladimir , Zager Kocjan Gaja
Published: May 2020

The Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Emotional Competence Questionnaire (IIECQ) was developed from the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire, addressing some of its content issues. Measurement invariance of the two-factor IIECQ model (interpersonal and intrapersonal emotional competence factors) was examined across countries and gender groups using a sample of 998 students from five different countries (Slovenia, Russia, Croatia, India, and theCzech Republic). Our results supported partial scalar invariance of the IIECQ across countries with three items having varying intercepts in different
countries. Scalar invariance was fully confirmed across gender groups. Latent means for the two IIECQ factors were compared between the five countries and the two gender groups. While men and women reported similar levels of intrapersonal and interpersonal emotional competences,
significant differences were observed between some of the countries. To
assess the construct validity of the IIECQ, correlations were examined between the IIECQ subscale scores and the measures of emotion regulation, personality, and well-being. In general, correlations were low to moderate and in accordance with expectations, showing adequate convergent validity of the new scales. Overall, the IIECQ represents a psychometrically sound measure of the intrapersonal and interpersonal emotional competences, which are measured in the same way across the five countries examined as well as across genders.
Cross-Cultural Questionnaires and the Necessity of Using Native Translators
Authors: Molander Bo , Holmström Stefan , Takšić Vladimir
Published: May 2020

In this paper, we discuss problems of comparing two European cultures in
a study of emotional intelligence by relying on traditional back translation of the questionnaire and the scales used in the study (Holmström, Molander, & Takšić, 2008; Molander, Holmström, & Takšić, 2009, 2011). We compared Croatian and Swedish university students in using The Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire, which is an original Croatian questionnaire (Takšić, 1998; Takšić, Mohorić, & Duran, 2009) based on the emotional intelligence theory of Mayer and Salovey (1997). Initially, we found small differences in responding to emotional items between the two countries as revealed by traditional statistical methods. Here we illustrate a large increase of the initial differences by applying differential item functioning (DIF) procedures (Zumbo, 1999), and then reducing again differences by taken several important steps in analyzing the translated items. Most important in these latter procedures was a new translation to Swedish by
a native Croatian-speaking translator.

Published: May 2020

The study investigates the relationship between perceived emotional intelligence, burnout, work engagement, and job satisfaction in 238 Italian school teachers. The mean age was 50 years, ranged from 26 to 66 (SD = 9.16). The research protocol included a demographics data sheet, the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS; Wong & Law, 2002), the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI; Kristensen, Borritz, Villadsen, & Christensen, 2005), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES; Schaufeli, Bakker, & Salanova, 2006), and the Organizational Satisfaction Scale (QSO; Cortese, 2001). Several international studies already demonstrated an association among these variables. Our results showed that perceived emotional intelligence positively correlates with work engagement and job satisfaction, and negatively correlates with burnout. Hierarchical regression analyses also point out that, among all the perceived emotional intelligence subdimensions, the use of emotion is the best predictor of the study variables, even when controlling for gender differences. These results suggest that emotional intelligence may have a protective role in preventing negative working experiences of teachers.

In the World of Bladder Tumors: Size Does Matter
Authors: Loloi Justin , Allen Jordan L. , Schilling Amber , Hollenbeak Christopher , Merrill Suzanne B. , Kaag Matthew G. , Raman Jay D.
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND:

Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is fundamental to the diagnosis and management of bladder cancer. The impact of tumor size on perioperative outcomes is seemingly intuitive albeit incompletely defined.

OBJECTIVE:

To compare outcomes following TURBT of small, medium, and large tumors to determine if larger tumors truly resulted in a greater degree of complications.

METHODS:

The National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) Participant Use File (PUF) was queried to extract all TURBT cases performed from 2011–2015. CPT codes 52234 (small), 52235 (medium), and 52240 (large) were used to stratify the data into three cohorts. Outcomes of interest included any complications, hospital length of stay (LOS), reoperation within 30-days, 30-day readmission, and mortality.

RESULTS:

17,839 patients who underwent TURBT were included. 44% had small ( n = 7,805), 35% had medium ( n = 6,240), and 21% had large tumors ( n = 3,794). Univariate analysis revealed significant differences in complications, length of stay, reoperation rate, readmission at 30-days, and mortality when stratifying TURBT by tumor size ( p < 0.0001). In the multivariable regression model, medium and large tumors were associated with significantly greater odds of a postoperative complication (OR = 1.37 and 1.64; p < 0.0001), reoperation (OR = 1.33 and 1.52; p = 0.019 and p = 0.002), readmission at 30-days (OR = 1.27 and 1.56; p = 0.001 and p < 0.0001), and death (OR = 1.65 and 2.59; p = 0.015 and p < 0.0001) compared to smaller tumors.

CONCLUSIONS:

Larger tumor size (>5 cm) is associated with greater length of stay, reoperation, readmission, and death following TURBT. Patients should be counseled appropriately and likely warrant vigilant observation prior to and following hospital discharge.
Fear of Dementia in the General Population: Findings from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP)
Authors: Hajek André , König Hans-Helmut
Published: May 2020

The aim was to identify the determinants of fear of dementia in the general population. Data were taken from the innovation sample ( n = 1,498; year 2012) of a nationally representative, longitudinal study. Summarizing, 28.8% reported no fear of dementia, 34.3% reported a little fear of dementia, 21.2% reported some fear of dementia, and 15.7% reported severe fear of dementia. Regressions showed that increased fear of dementia was associated with increased age, being female, an increased perceived own risk for developing dementia, an increased agreement that a diagnosis of dementia would ruin one’s life, and a decreased perception that memory deterioration is preventable. Addressing modifiable factors may assist in reducing fear of dementia.

Ambiguity exists regarding the definition of a level III inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (IVC-TT), limiting comparisons between open and minimally-invasive series. We assessed 253 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy with IVC-TT from 2000-2015 and proposed a modified classification based on associations between intraoperative IVC clamp position and need for cardiopulmonary bypass with complications, length of stay, and blood transfusions. Predictive ability of the modified system was not meaningfully improved (AUCs 0.59–0.58; 0.61–0.61; 0.72–0.72). Nevertheless, we advocate for standardization of the border of a level III thrombus at or above the major hepatic veins to facilitate meaningful comparisons between techniques.

Published: May 2020

The automatic classification of breast cancer pathological images has important clinical application value. However, to develop the classification algorithm using the artificially extracted image features faces several challenges including the requirement of professional domain knowledge to extract and compute highiquality image features, which are often time-consuming, laborious, and difficult. For overcoming these challenges, this study developed and applied an improved deep convolutional neural network model to perform automatic classification of breast cancer using pathological images. Specifically, in this study, data enhancement and migration learning methods are used to effectively avoid the overfitting problems with deep learning models when they are limited by training image sample size. Experimental results show that a 91% recognition rate or accuracy when applying this improved deep learning model to a publicly available dataset of BreaKHis. Comparing with other previously used models, the new model yields good robustness and generalization.

Modern technologies of equipping of animal husbandry rooms
Authors: Myniv R. M.
Published: May 2020

Modern technologies for the construction of livestock rooms, inexpensive foundations, short construction time, low material capacity of the building, the possibility of using a leasing payment scheme are factors that will minimize construction costs. At much lower initial cost, frame and awning livestock rooms pay off much faster than capital buildings, with the construction of livestock rooms cost 3–5 times cheaper. The standard hangar designs are versatile and versatile. The form determines the amount of working space inside the hangar, depending on the purpose of the operation. Width standard up to 30 m. Length – proportional, step between arches 3 m. They are tent, arched and straight. Frame and awning hangars up to 1500 square meters, m. are considered to be high-speed mobile structures of temporary type. No permits are required for their construction. There is no need for the construction of the foundation, the involvement of large machinery. Despite the “temporary type”, metal construction is reliable. Construction is carried out according to the developed design standards – SP 384.1325800.2018. If necessary, the awning membrane can be easily and quickly repaired or replaced with a new one after 10–15 years. The most effective way to insulate a hangar today is to insulate it by spraying polyurethane foam. Depending on the technological scheme of installation of equipment of livestock premises, the required number, size and location of the farm gate is determined. The ends of the livestock premises are equipped with swing gates for the entry of transport, distributing feed to the feeding table, the gates can be awning or metal, sectional, recoil or swing. At the request of the customer can be designed passages for pushing. In order to reduce electricity consumption for heating purposes and to save money on electricity, we propose to equip the heating system of frame and awning hangars with another source of heat supply – a heat pump. To reduce electricity costs for heating radiators, it is necessary to install thermostatic valves at the rate of one valve per radiator. The electric power of the heat pump with a minimum conversion factor (KP) will be 12.5 kW. Electricity costs for circulation of such volume of a brine at resistance of 8 m make about 0,5 kW. Energy savings when using a heat pump in monetary terms at an electricity tariff of 193.28 kopecks. without VAT for 1 kW. year will be 59976 × 193.28 = 115.922 thousand UAH without VAT.

Six resistant cowpea accessions selected from previous studies were treated with the six plant powders at 1.25% w/w in a 6×7 factorial arrangement fitted into a completely randomized design with five replicates. Seed treatment with any of the six plant powders on six accessions resulted in significantly higher adult mortality, lower oviposition rate, adult emergence inhibition, lower seed damage and higher seed germination over the control, Protection ability of the plant powders was influenced by the cowpea accessions used.
Genetic parameters of body weight in japanese quails (Coturnix japonica Temminck & Schlegel, 1849) in the Philippines
Authors: Poliquit Angie
Published: May 2020

The establishment of breeding and selection programs to improve the genetic potential of poultry necessitates estimation of genetic parameters for different production and reproduction traits, Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) software was used to estimate the heritability (h2) and genetic correlations (r) of body weights in Japanese quails (C. japonica) from hatch to fifth week of age. A total of 224 Japanese quails composed of 56 males and 168 females arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) served as the base population. Body weight records, measured weekly from hatch to fifth week, were utilized to estimate the genetic parameters. Heritability estimates were 0.093±0.004, 0244±0.010, 0.031±0.001, 0082±0.004, 0325±0.016 and 0.025±0.001 for body weights at hatch (BW0), first week (BW1), second week (BW2), third week (BW3), fourth week (BW4) and fifth week (BW5), respectively. Low heritability estimates depict a decrease in additive genetic variance as the generations progressed. Negative genetic correlation was found between BW0 and BW4 (r=- 0.027). The significant positive genetic correlations of BW0 with BW1 (r=0.271); BW1 with BW2 (r=0.270), BW3 (r=0.294), BW4 (r=0.255), and BW5 (r=0.243); BW2 with BW3 (r=0.561), BW4 (r=0.649), and BW5 (r=0.503); BW3 with BW4 (r=0.726), and BW5 (r=0.551); and BW4 with BW5 (r=0.689) are expected to bring correlated responses in the other traits.
Impact of the conditional cash transfer program’ on the monthly food expenditure of household beneficiaries
Authors: Milla Norberto
Published: May 2020

Philippines is among the many countries which has a perennial problem on poverty. The country has made various ways to reduce its poverty rate; one is through conditional cash transfer (CCT) scheme. This study measured the impact of CCT Program, particularly on food consumption among its household beneficiaries using Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Impact is measured in terms of the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT) using four matching algorithms: Nearest Neighbor Matching, Caliper (Radius) Matching, Kernel Matching, and Local Linear Regression matching. Binary logistic regression was used to identify covariates influencing program participation which include having children who are 6-12 years old, education of the household heads’ spouses, marital status and sex of the household head, housing tenure, and ownership of household assets. Balance test indicates nonsignificant difference between 4Ps and non-4Ps beneficiaries across these covariates. Of the four matching algorithms, the Caliper (radius) matching generated ATT estimate with the least standard error. On the average, using the Caliper matching method, the monthly food expenditure of the household beneficiaries have significantly increased by PHP501.39, Thus, the CCT program of the government has brought significant improvement on the household beneficiaries, not only on education, health, and nutrition but also on their monthly food expenditure. It is recommended that the implementation of the CCT program should be strengthened, sustained, and maintained properly and orderly to gradually alleviate the current poverty conditions in the identified poor barangays around the nation. Moreover, the implementing agencies should consistently monitor the proper and synchronized implementation of the program in order to wholly purge the intergenerational transmission of poverty which is a perennial experience of the households who belong to the poorest populace in the country.

The phenomenon of “hijrah” is rife among the younger generation of Muslims because religious awareness is rising. It carries a variety of ways and activities out to socialize and invite people to migrate; one method used is visual media uploaded via Instagram. Simple media with short, concise texts, used to convey heavy ideological messages. It represents “hijrah” in the form of visual media in Instagram feeds. Visual media analysis uses Roland Barthes's semiotics by utilizing visual regression analysis related to visual representations, such as description, interpretation, evaluation and theorization. The result is that the visual propaganda media has a close connection between the image and the context it is discussing, it will be more exciting and useful in providing a stimulus for the formation of an ideology of the young Muslim generation. Media with a short message brings a partial understanding so that the audience does not thoroughly understand “hijrah”.

Domestic and International Remittances and Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Ebadi Narges , Ahmadi Davod , Melgar-Quiñonez Hugo
Published: May 2020

The amount of remittances to developing counties, defined as the flow of monetary and non-monetary goods, has increased globally and has surpassed the amount of money spent on foreign aid in these developing countries. The impact of remittances on households’ purchasing power has been studied; however, its link to food security status is yet to be explored. This paper quantitatively analyses the relationship between food security status (measured using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale) and the receipt of domestic/ international or both remittances on households in sub- Saharan Africa. Data are derived from the Gallup World Poll from the years 2014-2017. Multinomial logistic regression models and binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to analyze the data. Results showed that remittance recipients had significantly higher household incomes (especially if the remittance was coming internationally and domestically), lived with significantly more household members (7 or more members), and were more likely to be separated (including divorced or widowed). Households that received domestic remittances had significantly higher odds of being food insecure than households receiving no remittances. Conversely, households receiving remittances internationally or a combination of domestic and international remittances had significantly lower odds of food insecurity compared to non-receivers. This study found that receiving remittances affect the food security status of people living in SSA countries.

Guazuma ulmifolia Lam., popularly known as mutamba, mutambo and mucungo, is widespread throughout Latin America. Studies on the physicochemical characteristics and the technological application of its constituents can support its use as raw material for enrichment and formulation of food products. This study aimed at to identify substances of food interest derived from mutamba fruit, through its physical, physicochemical, proximate, mineral, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity characterization in two maturation stages. The incomplete and full physiological maturation had, on average, mass of 5.52 and 3.54 g, respectively, and acid pH of 4.84 on average. Soluble solids content increased with maturity reaching 32.9 °Brix. Regarding proximate composition, it was observed an increase in protein, lipid, crude fiber and ash; and reduction of 80% in moisture. The most concentrated minerals were K, N, Ca, P and Mg. The content of anthocyanins, polyphenols, yellow flavonoids and the antioxidant activity increased with maturation, while vitamin C remained at 1500 mg.100 g-1. This study is innovative as mutamba fruits with incomplete physiological maturation were characterized for the first time. That mutamba fruits, no matter the physiological maturation, have potential of exploitation in the food industry, due to their high content of soluble solids, as well as in the enrichment of other food products as source of vitamin C and minerals.

A complexidade de caráter não-linear que representa o ato de ensinar não permite ao docente recorrer a uma única forma de abordar o processo de educação no ensino superior. Em outros termos, a sociedade contemporânea recheada de tecnologias de informações com o elevado grau de interatividade exige dos professores uma maior compreensão e busca por diferentes formas e mecanismos motivacionais para os alunos. Nesse contexto, o trabalha aborda o uso de jogos digitais como ferramenta de interação entre alunos e conteúdo de química cinética, como uma metodologia alternativa do processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Para tanto, durante o trabalho foi projetado e construído um tabuleiro interativo (Edutable), um software de gerenciamento lógico e um aplicativo móvel. Em seguida, com base no método de usabilidade, foram realizados estudos de sucesso de tarefa e experiência de usabilidade positiva. Os resultados das avaliações mostraram que, na percepção dos usuários, o jogo de tabuleiro cumpre com o caráter lúdico e educativo obtendo pontuação acima de 80% na escala SUS (System Usability Scale), modelo de avaliação aplicado no presente trabalho.

Uma série de recursos fisioterapêuticos são utilizados na reabilitação do membro superior de pacientes posteriormente ao Acidente Vascular Encefálico, entre eles, destaca-se a implementação da Estimulação Elétrica Funcional. O propósito do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da estimulação elétrica funcional na reabilitação fisioterapêutica do membro superior de pacientes posteriormente ao Acidente Vascular Encefálico. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de ensaios clínicos randomizados nas bases de dados Science Direct, MEDLINE e PEDro. A qualidade metodológica dos estudos foi avaliada através da escala Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Os resultados encontrados demonstraram que a estimulação elétrica funcional é eficaz na melhora da função motora e diminuição de tônus, principalmente das articulações de punho e mão. Além disso, pode ser utilizada na prevenção da dor e subluxação do ombro e também quando associada ao movimento ou intenção voluntária do paciente, aumenta a participação nas atividades de vida diária e melhora a qualidade de vida. A relevância da divulgação desses achados, está no fato de relatar a importância da utilização da estimulação elétrica funcional na reabilitação do paciente pós-acidente vascular encefálico conduzida pelo fisioterapeuta.

Este estudo apresenta as concepções e transformações no hábito da leitura, considerando as mudanças de paradgmas, e suas variantes ocorridas no modo de ler ao longo dos anos, tendo como primórdios os rolos até chegar nos incipientes e-books. Com o advento dos avanços tecnológicos e a tomada da era digital, ler e escrever tornou-se um agente totalmente inovador, pois novos mecanismos de leitura e escrita encontram-se disponíveis, como evidência, tem-se o letramento digital, domínio de técnica e habilidade por meio de dispositivos digitais que se fazem eficazes na multiplicidade e no desenvolvimento da leitura. Diante disso, o estudo também aborda discussões que apresentam questões pertinentes ao destino do livro impresso diante do crescimento do livro digital. Como revisão literária, ancora-se em Chartier (1999), Fisher (2009) que advertem sobre as finalidades da leitura que, sobretudo, consistem em comunicar-se, (Xavier, 2002; Coscarelli; Ribeiro, 2007), que desenvolveram pesquisas sobre leitura e escrita em ambiente virtual, assumindo que o hipertexto, os textos digitais,  e as novas formas de leitura e escrita ocuparam em larga escala a vida da sociedade contemporânea. Por fim, consideraram-se ainda os relevantes fundamentos de Eco, Carrière (2010) que discorrem sobre a permanência do livro impresso e seus efeitos na sociedade leitora da contemporaneidade.

A seleção de isolados de fungos entomopatogênicos se faz necessária para se escolher o isolado mais adequado para ser utilizado em programas de controle biológico. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar, em condições de laboratório, a eficiência de isolados do fungo entomopatogênico Metarhizium rileyi sobre Spodoptera cosmioides. O ensaio experimental foi composto por delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com oito tratamentos e 10 repetições, cada repetição com 5 lagartas padronizadas em 2 mm cada. Foi pulverizado 1mL de cada isolado na concentração de 1,0×109 conídios viáveis mL-1 com auxílio da Torre de Potter. Os dados de mortalidade foram transformados arcsen (x/100)0,5 para realização da análise de variância e comparação das médias, pelo teste de Scott-Knott a 5% de significância. A eficiência de controle foi calculada através da fórmula de Abbott. A mortalidade foi verificada diariamente durante 27 dias e avaliada por regressão linear e polinomial. De modo geral, M. rileyi foi patogênico às larvas de S. cosmioides. O tratamento com o isolado UFMS 03, UFMS 08 e UFMS 02 apresentaram 89,5, 78,9, 73,7% de eficiência, respectivamente. O isolado UFMS 03 proporcionou tempo letal mediano (TL50) em 14,7 dias, maior eficiência, com potencial como agente de controle biológico.

The soybean crop is one of the most economically important crops in Brazilian agribusiness and in the world, with the expansion of the crop always linked to scientific advances and new production technologies. In view of the above, the objective of this study was to evaluate the production costs of twenty-one producing regions to determine the highest and lowest production costs in the first harvest in three agricultural years and in the summer harvest in two agricultural years, with the conventional and transgenic soybeans, in addition to comparing the cost of production of the cultivation systems. As for technical procedures, a descriptive research was carried out with statistical data provided by the National Supply Company. The agricultural years of 2018, 2019 and 2020 of soybean culture were analyzed in twenty-one Brazilian municipalities, located in the Brazilian states: Bahia, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Piauí , Rio Grande do Sul, Roraima and Tocantins. The region of Primavera do Leste - MT demonstrated a region with a high cost of production in comparison with other producing regions. The lowest costs varied between several regions, depending on the cultivation system employed. The production of transgenic soybeans proved to be the most profitable and promising option due to the lower production cost in relation to the cultivation of conventional soybeans.

Museus e Centros de Ciências são importantes espaços para a educação científica do público em geral. Os museus escolares são um tipo especial de museu que congrega desde a memória e o patrimônio institucional, até ações pedagógicas voltadas para o ensino. O Museu de História Natural do ISERJ, situado no Instituto Superior de Educação do Rio de Janeiro, é um exemplo de museu escolar que possui uma coleção de história natural e de materiais pedagógicos voltados para o ensino de ciência. O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar o papel desse museu escolar no ensino de ciência de maneira geral e, consequentemente, para a alfabetização científica. Nosso intuito foi analisar o sentido e impacto de um museu de ciências no interior de uma instituição formal de ensino, sendo usado, para tanto, metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa com ênfase na perspectiva histórica, através de um levantamento bibliográfico e documental do museu, desde a origem da coleção até sua relevância no ensino de ciência, bem como verificar seu sentido hoje em dia. Foi possível perceber que a criação do museu escolar do ISERJ estava inserida em uma política educacional mais ampla, que remonta ao final do século XIX, fundada na premissa de um ensino de ciência mais tangível. Apesar do pouco conhecimento e uso dos museus escolares, a sua existência pode ser uma excelente oportunidade para destacar ainda mais seus méritos e sua importância para o ensino de ciências.
