Pengaruh Kadar Air Dan Jenis Plastisizer Terhadap Sifat Fisik Plastik Biodegradable Dari Campuran Pati Jagung Dan Polivinil Alkohol
Authors: Utami Budi , Hendartini Hendartini
Published: February 2019

Recently the use of plastic packaging is become avoided because their waste will create environmental problem. As an alternative choice the use of biodegradable plastic packaging has been developed Research on biodegradable plastic has been carried out to study the effect of water content and kind of plasticizer on mechanical properties of the biodegradable plastic made from corn starch and polyvinyl alcohol. The result shows that water can increase the elongation of the plastic, but on the other hand it can decrease the tensile strength and barrier properties by increasing the water vapour transsmision rate. Therefore the use of water as a plasticizer must be mixed with other plasticizer such as glycerol, sorbitol, polyethylene glycol and glycerol monostearate. In this study the best result is by using mixture of water andsorbitol with ratio = 5: I and the ratio of solid material (starch + PVOH +nucleating agent) and plasticizer = 1 : I.
Potential Nervous System Sensitization in Patients With Persistent Lower Extremity Tendinopathies: 3 Case Reports
Authors: Jayaseelan Dhinu J. , Weber Matthew J. , Jonely Holly
Published: February 2019

Background

Tendinopathy is a condition often associated with pain and functional and sport performance limitations. While targeted exercise prescriptions are often effective, many patients with tendinopathy develop persistent symptoms. Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between nervous system sensitization and tendinopathy. If so, identifying and treating specific pain mechanisms may improve outcomes.

Case Description

Three patients were seen in physical therapy for complaints of ongoing chronic tendon pain and self-reported disability, despite being treated previously and receiving evidence-informed care. Upon examination, each patient demonstrated signs consistent with possible dysfunction of central pain mechanisms. Joint mobilization, pain neuroscience education, and aerobic exercise were primary interventions in each case to decrease pain and improve function.

Outcomes

The 3 patients were treated for 5 sessions over the course of 8 weeks. Clinically significant improvement was noted in measures of pain, self-reported function, and pressure pain thresholds. At discharge, all patients were able to run without symptoms, and improvement was maintained at 1-year follow-up.

Discussion

Tendinopathy, while often described as local pain and dysfunction, may be associated with dysfunction of the nervous system. Identifying and treating pain mechanisms in addition to relevant impairments may be an appropriate intervention approach for individuals with tendinopathy.

Patient and Parent Perceptions of Rehabilitation Factors That Influence Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Clearance to Return to Sport in Adolescents and Young Adults
Authors: Paterno Mark V. , Schmitt Laura C. , Thomas Staci , Duke Nicholas , Russo Rebecca , Quatman-Yates Catherine C.
Published: February 2019

Background

Wide variation in outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) exists among adolescents and young adults. However, little evidence is available regarding key rehabilitation factors that may be driving these differences.

Objective

To explore patient and parent perceptions of key rehabilitation drivers related to outcomes after ACLR.

Methods

In this qualitative study, which used an interpretive phenomenological methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients who had returned to sport after ACLR and with their parents. The interviews asked about respondents' experience with physical therapy and how it related to their outcomes after ACLR. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded. Themes were then identified using open and axial coding processes.

Results

There were 3 primary themes that patients and parents perceived as key factors influencing their rehabilitation outcomes after ACLR: (1) patient attributes (ie, motivation, confidence, accountability, access to resources, and social support), (2) physical therapist-patient relationship qualities (physical therapist as guide, motivator, booster of confidence, fosterer of perseverance, and coordinator of care), and (3) elements of the system (ie, availability and utilization of therapy visits, clinic environment, and coordination among care providers).

Conclusion

Patient and parent perspectives of key drivers that influence ACLR rehabilitation outcomes include patient, therapist, and system factors. Developing specific strategies to target these factors may enhance patient and parent perceptions of the experience. The awareness gained from these results provides a foundation for future studies examining how these factors affect outcomes and how to improve rehabilitation after ACLR.

Authors: Halliday Mark H. , Garcia Alessandra N. , Amorim Anita B. , Machado Gustavo C. , Hayden Jill A. , Pappas Evangelos , Ferreira Paulo H. , Hancock Mark J.
Published: February 2019

Background

Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) is a treatment-based classification system founded on 3 core principles: classification into diagnostic syndromes, classification-based intervention, and appropriate application of force. Many randomized controlled trials have investigated the efficacy of MDT for low back pain; however, results have varied. The inconsistent delivery of MDT across trials may explain the different findings.

Objectives

To compare treatment effect sizes for pain or disability between trials that delivered MDT consistent with the core principles of the approach and trials that met some or none of these principles.

Methods

In this systematic review, databases were searched from inception to June 2018 for studies that delivered MDT compared to nonpharmacological, conservative control interventions in patients with low back pain and reported outcomes of pain or disability. Studies were classified as “adherent” (meeting the core principles of MDT) or “nonadherent” (using some or none of the principles of MDT). Data were extracted by 2 independent reviewers. Meta-regression procedures were used to analyze the effect of delivery mode on clinical outcomes, adjusting for covariates of symptom duration (less than or greater than 3 months) and control intervention (minimal or active).

Results

Studies classified as adherent to the MDT approach showed greater reductions in pain and disability of 15.0 (95% confidence interval: 7.3, 22.7) and 11.7 (95% confidence interval: 5.4, 18.0) points, respectively, on a 100-point scale compared to nonadherent trials.

Conclusion

This review provides preliminary evidence that treatment effects of MDT are greater when the core principles are followed.

Zero-fee policy: Making tertiary education and training accessible and affordable for all?
Authors: Nikula Pii-Tuulia , Matthews Kay Morris
Published: February 2019

The new Labour led government implemented a zero-fee tertiary policy as part of its first 100-day plan to improve tertiary level participation in New Zealand and to reduce financial barriers. With the first cohort of eligible students enrolling in 2018, the benefits and limitations of this scheme have yet to be determined. This paper discusses the key details and the underpinning rationale of the zero-fee initiative and considers the possible impacts on participation rates, including participation for groups such as those from low socio-economic backgrounds and Māori/Pasifika students. It is argued that the fees-free policy has the potential to enhance tertiary education participation in New Zealand. Yet, as a standalone policy it will not address all the existing barriers, especially for students from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Finally, key areas for further research are proposed to address gaps in the existing knowledge base and to indicate early trends between the new policy and changes in tertiary level participation.
Struggling to maintain diversity: The marginalisation of Playcentre in government early childhood education and care policy
Authors: Manning Suzanne
Published: February 2019

Playcentre is a parent cooperative early childhood service where parents are trained and supported as the educators in the service. Once considered a ‘mainstream’ service, policy has increasingly marginalised Playcentres in favour of supporting teacher-led services. This article gives a background of parent cooperative services, and then reviews policies of the fifth National government from 2008, with an emphasis on how these policies have accommodated or excluded Playcentre. This review is presented as an argument for maintaining diversity in the early childhood education and care sector by developing policy which accommodates parent cooperative services.

Introduction

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is an emerging pathogen that causes a wide range of disorders including severe neurological manifestations. In the past 20 years, this virus has been associated with large outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease with neurological complications in the Asia-Pacific region, while in Europe mainly sporadic cases have been reported. In spring 2016, however, an EV-A71 outbreak associated with severe neurological cases was reported in Catalonia and spread further to other Spanish regions.

Aim

Our objective was to investigate the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of the outbreak.

Methods

We carried out a retrospective study which included 233 EV-A71-positive samples collected during 2016 from hospitalised patients. We analysed the clinical manifestations associated with EV-A71 infections and performed phylogenetic analyses of the 3’-VP1 and 3Dpol regions from all Spanish strains and a set of EV-A71 from other countries.

Results

Most EV-A71 infections were reported in children (mean age: 2.6 years) and the highest incidence was between May and July 2016 (83%). Most isolates (218/233) were classified as subgenogroup C1 and 217 of them were grouped in one cluster phylogenetically related to a new recombinant variant strain associated with severe neurological diseases in Germany and France in 2015 and 2016. Moreover, we found a clear association of EV-A71-C1 infection with severe neurological disorders, brainstem encephalitis being the most commonly reported.

Conclusion

An emerging recombinant variant of EV-A71-C1 was responsible for the large outbreak in 2016 in Spain that was associated with many severe neurological cases.

Published: February 2019

Objective: to determine the associations of attitudes towards their health and family stress in men and women of an open urban population.Material and Methods. To carry out a one-stage epidemiological study on an open urban population using the “random numbers” method, a representative sample of the population was drawn from the electoral lists of citizens of the Central Administrative District of Tyumen in the number of 2000 people, 250 people in each sex-age group (25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64 years). The study was conducted with a response rate of 77.7% (85.0% among men and 70.3% among women) according to rigidly standardized epidemiological methods. As part of the cardiological screening for the WHO  MONICAMOPSY program algorithms, a survey was conducted on the “Knowledge and Attitude to Your Health” questionnaire, and some parameters of the population’s attitude to their health and family stress were analyzed.Results.In general, in the Tyumen population, women demonstrated a more responsible attitude towards their health. In the presence of stress in the family, readiness for urgent measures in case of pain or discomfort in the heart area was ambiguous: higher among women in an emergency situation (with one or frequent conflicts in the family during the last 12 months, and also in the absence of conditions for home recreation ), and vice versa, in the situation of recurring conflicts (with several conflicts in the family during the last 12 months), the tendency to regular visits to the doctor under stress was observed among men.Conclusion. Analysis of the factors of chronic social stress in relation to the attitude towards the prevention of heart disease in the open population showed that the program of primary prevention of CVD, in addition to information technologies, should include correction of factors of chronic social stress, in particular, stress in the family among men and women of working age.

The aimof this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the manual thrombus aspiration in comparison with direct stenting in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and totally occluded culprit arteries.Material and Methods. Data were collected from the hospital database, which contained information about 1297 patients with STEMI who were admitted to the coronary care unit and underwent primary percutaneous coronary interventions. A total of 227 patients with totally occluded culprit arteries and partially or completely restored blood flow after wiring were included in the analysis. Altogether 25 patients after manual thrombus aspiration were compared with 202 patients after direct stenting. The groups were comparable by gender and age, and by the main clinical and angiographic characteristics.Results.There were no differences in in-hospital outcomes. In the thrombus aspiration group, the rate of no-reflow phenomenon was higher insignificantly (8 vs 3.5%, р=0.259). There were no incidences of death and major adverse cardiac events in the thrombus aspiration group. No cases of stent thrombosis were registered in either of group.Conclusion. The manual thrombus aspiration strategy in comparison with direct stenting in patients with STEMI and totally occluded culprit artery was not associated with improved clinical and procedural in-hospital outcomes.

Authors: Lymar Valeriia
Published: February 2019

The purpose of the investigation is making a prognosis of bio-oriented agrarian economy investment in the EU countries and preparing a set of steps how to attract investment in the bio-oriented agrarian economy sectors. Nowadays investment is one of the critical factors of bio-oriented agrarian economy development. It was set as one of the priories in the European Strategy 2020, where they defined the bio-oriented economy as the main engine for smart and innovation growth in Europe. Methodology. To make a prognosis, it was used BP Stat program, namely Brown’s, Holt’s, Box–Jenkins, and Olympus’ methods. Results. In the third millennium, the global community faced many objective problems, which need cooperation and relations between nations to solve them. There were defined such challenges: climate changes, the growth of the global population, exhaustion of limited resources and others. To meet these challenges, the European Commission proposed the bio-oriented agrarian economy concept, which is an interdisciplinary phenomenon and combines elements of several fields of science: economy, management, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, physics, and mathematics. In accordance with the EC classification, there are such bio-oriented economy sectors: food, agriculture, paper/pulp, forestry/wood industry, fisheries and aquaculture, bio-chemicals. The main aim of the bio-oriented agrarian economy is a smart use of biological resources to produce healthy food and feed and minimizing the use of limited resources. During the investigation, there were given arguments and explained the necessity of bio-oriented agrarian economy development both on the EU and national levels. It was proved that without investment, it is impossible to develop such a concept. Practical implementations. Obtained prognosis allows to predict the dynamic of bio-oriented agrarian economy investment in Europe and develop a set of steps how to attract investment in this sphere, namely to invest in research and innovation sectors; support commercialization of knowledge and innovation; promote entrepreneurship in the sectors of bio-oriented agrarian economy; develop an innovation-friendly regulatory framework and support creating new jobs in the bio-oriented agrarian economy sectors. Value/originality. Results of the investigation help to improve the theoretical base of bio-oriented agrarian economy concept development and show the importance of investment of bio-economy sectors as on the national levels and on the European one.

Published: February 2019

The aim of the article is to determine the specificities of the remuneration of civil servants in the Federal Republic of Germany. The subject of the study is the remuneration of civil servants in the Federal Republic of Germany. Methodology. The study is based on the use of general scientific and special-scientific methods and techniques of scientific knowledge. The dialectical method enabled to interrogate the development of the institution of the remuneration of civil servants in the Federal Republic of Germany. The comparative legal method enabled to compare doctrinal approaches to this issue. The system-structural method enabled to determine the elements of the remuneration of civil servants of the Federal Republic of Germany. Methods of analysis and synthesis helped study certain parts of this institute to formulate further conclusions about its most optimal functioning. The logicsemantic method was used to determine the content of the principles of “ensuring a decent standard of living for a public servant,” “equality of public service actors” and “allowance/supplies”. The normative-dogmatic method enabled to analyse the content of legal regulations of the domestic legislation and the legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany on the issue. Practical implications. The determination of the specificities of the remuneration of public servants in the Federal Republic of Germany enabled to make recommendations for improving the remuneration system of this category of employees in Ukraine, as well as identify problematic issues that require further consideration and research. Relevance/originality. The author’s definition of the concept of “remuneration of public servants” is proposed and the specific features of this institute, insufficiently studied before, are analysed. The article analyses the specificities of the remuneration of public servants. Their list is determined and the content of each of them is disclosed. The specificities of the remuneration of public servants are substantiated in comparison with other categories of employees. The study of the positive experience of Germany enabled to suggest: to adopt a special legal regulation on the remuneration of public servants in Ukraine, that is, the Law of Ukraine “On Remuneration of Public Servants”; to provide in the norms of the Law of Ukraine “On Public Service” the allowances for the professionalism of a public servant; to provide public servants with the opportunity to carry out another paid activity subject to the special permission of the head of a state body.
ILLEGALLY-OBTAINED INCOME AS A STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF SHADOW PROCESSES IN THE ECONOMY

Published: February 2019

The study of shadowing processes in the economy is an integral part of the methodological knowledge, aimed at forming the security environment of the world community, its development on the way to overcoming crisis situations in the economy, politics, and society. This being said, it is difficult to overestimate the role of the state in determining appropriate approaches to assessing the results of such activities, justifying the selection of certain current methods of influencing public relations in the economic field in order to ensure their functioning within the legal framework. Drawing empirical conclusions and recommendations in this article are aimed at substantiating the links between the result of economic activity and economic activity as such, which determines the characteristics of welfare and well-being of a person, his/her enrichment. Thus, the formation of a cognitive social link between human welfare, emotional factors, and the economic crisis situation in the state has a common denominator, which makes it possible to assess the level of economic development of the country as a whole, to identify processes of shadowing of the economy, provided that illegally-obtained income is determined in its structure. Coming up with “regulatory filters” that allow synthesizing the object (illegally-obtained income), at which measures for detecting and transforming it into the legal economic field are aimed, it is possible to achieve a real result in counteracting the shadowing of national economies. Certain measures currently being taken at the level of national legal systems in this area should be compatible with those adopted by the European Union and, at least, as stringent as other measures applied at the international level. The specified determines the necessity to search for optimal ways of defining the concept of illegally obtained income, its place and role as a structural component of shadow processes in the economy. Methodology. The solution to the set goal is realized using the cognitive potential of the system of philosophical, general scientific and special methods. Analysis and synthesis allowed identifying the signs of illegal income, the shadowing of the economy, counteracting the shadow economy, and forming the last concept. Methods of grammatical review and interpretation of legal norms contributed to identifying gaps and other shortcomings of legislation on problems of ensuring counteraction to the legalization (laundering) of illegally-obtained income, developing proposals for its improvement, in particular, regarding the specifics of defining the meaning of the concept of “illegally obtained income” in domestic legal framework, the relationship of this concept with other economic and legal concepts. The comparative legal method allowed determining the development directions for domestic normative acts in order to bring them in line with the generally accepted European standards.

Amelioration of building microclimates through landscape design approaching hot-humid climate
Authors: Tikul Nachawit
Published: February 2019

Saving energy in buildings has become a more important issue in various countries. One strategy that can reduce the cooling load in buildings is landscaping and environmental design. However, it is difficult to estimate the amount of influence of landscape, environment and their elements on ambient temperature. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between landscape elements and outdoor temperature. The arrangement in relation to temperature reduction is also determined. From the study, it was found that the first important factors that helped to reduce the ambient temperature were water elements, followed by mature trees and ground cover areas. In addition, the outdoor area should be minimally open ground and a hard surface area. The proper placement of each element should be considered specifically the water area should be placed on the south or south-west. The ground cover should be placed next to the building and trees should be placed on the south, east and west sides. The width of canopy of mature trees should be at least 4.5 meters, and evergreen trees should be at least 6 meters of height and dense. Besides these, there are many other variables, such as building layout, building shapes and building materials that may have some effects on the ambient temperature, and they will be studied later.

Published: February 2019

Many people struggle to control their use of digital devices. However, our understanding of the design mechanisms that support user self-control remains limited. In this paper, we make two contributions to HCI research in this space: first, we analyse 367 apps and browser extensions from the Google Play, Chrome Web, and Apple App stores to identify common core design features and intervention strategies afforded by current tools for digital self-control. Second, we adapt and apply an integrative dual systems model of self-regulation as a framework for organising and evaluating the design features found. Our analysis aims to help the design of better tools in two ways: (i) by identifying how, through a well-established model of self-regulation, current tools overlap and differ in how they support self-control; and (ii) by using the model to reveal underexplored cognitive mechanisms that could aid the design of new tools.

Development of textile as a roof with durability against ultraviolet/UV radiation can be achieved through the application of ZnO nanoparticles as UV absorber. Immobilization of ZnO nanoparticles onto cotton roof fabric using modified pad-dry-cure method and evaluation of its durability under ultraviolet irradiation was carried out in this research. Research methods including preparation of ZnO nanoparticles suspension and padding process using pad-dry-cure machine with modification of padding-drying multiplied process cycle up to 2 cycles. Evaluation and testing have been done upon durability of nanoparticles attachment on fabric and tensile strength of fabric after UV irradiation. Homogenous ZnO nanoparticle distribution on fabric surface has been obtained by using PVA concentration of 10%. Rain shower test shows that the fabric treated with modified method has higher water rejection performance than that of fabric treated with conventional method, as well as has good durability of attachment. After 5 hrs of UV irradiation, reduction of tensile strength in fabric treated with modified method were found only 1.2% and 1.5% for warp and weft directions respectively, lower than that of fabric treated with conventional method with 1.4% and 1.7% of respective reduction in warp and weft directions

Introduction : Plus de 677 000 patients ont consulté de décembre 2016 à avril 2017 en structure des urgences (SU) en Occitanie. La proportion de patients à risque de grippe grave est plus importante en SU que dans la population générale. Les professionnels de santé doivent être vaccinés pour lutter contre la propagation du virus ainsi que pour protéger les patients. L’objectif de notre étude était de connaître le taux de vaccination antigrippale parmi les professionnels de santé travaillant dans le pôle de médecine d’urgences (PMU) d’un centre hospitalier universitaire (CHU) durant l’hiver 2017–2018.

Matériel et méthode : Nous avons réalisé une étude épidémiologique rétrospective monocentrique sur le PMU. Les critères d’inclusion étaient les professionnels de santé en poste (médecin, infirmier, interne ou aide-soignant) dans les SU de Purpan, Rangueil et/ou au service d’aide médicale urgente de Haute-Garonne (Samu 31) entre le 30 novembre 2017 et le 30 avril 2018. Le critère de jugement principal était défini par la proportion de professionnels de santé vaccinés. Les critères de jugement secondaires étaient la recherche de facteurs motivant la vaccination ou la nonvaccination. Les résultats étaient exprimés en pourcentages avec calcul de l’intervalle de confiance à 95 %.

Résultats : Deux cent trente-six professionnels de santé (59 %) ont répondu au questionnaire, 103 (44 %) étaient vaccinés contre la grippe. Les facteurs évoqués pour la vaccination étaient la protection des patients, se protéger soimême et son entourage. L’absence d’envie, l’impression de non-efficacité du vaccin, la peur des effets secondaires et la méconnaissance des principes de la vaccination étaient les facteurs retrouvés pour la non-vaccination.

Conclusion : Le taux de vaccination du personnel du PMU du CHU reste faible vis-à-vis des objectifs fixés par Santé publique France qui sont de 75 %. La mise en place d’un professionnel référent dans le service qui effectuerait une vaccination après information et sensibilisation est une piste à évaluer.

O objetivo da conferência é discutir como a teoria pós-colonial permite o questionamentodas noções de identidade romana e da teoria de Romanização. A conferênciaexplora diferentes modelos teóricos e foca em dois tópicos relacionados:inicialmente discutiremos como o modelo de aculturação promoveu uma explicaçãohomogênea e conservadora do passado romano para, em seguida, argumentarque o estudo da diferença e da alteridade é um instrumento importantepara propor modelos mais heterogêneos do Império Romano.
Overview and perspective of nonwoven agrotextile
Authors: Marasović Paula , Kopitar Dragana
Published: February 2019

Agrotextile belongs to one of the twelve sectors of technical textiles covering textile products with application
in agriculture, horticulture, cattle breeding and aquaculture as well in agro engineering. The significance of
agrotextiles can be stated substantial all over the world since it has been proven to be very versatile and cost
effective materials.
Nonwoven agrotextiles are innovative products with special structural performances designed for agricultural
applications and practices such as weed control, wind protection, frost cover fabric that is used for adjustment
of weather conditions from the sudden changing of temperature and seasonal changes. Furthermore, common
application of nonwoven agrotextiles are for reducing the sun radiation as well as thermal protection of plants as
shade cloth, furthermore for preventing insect and other pests on crops, preventing soil drainage and sediment
creation. All over the world, applications of nonwoven agrotextiles products in agriculture have shown great
positive impacts on growth, production and protection of various crops and vegetables. Many studies have
been proving that nonwoven agrotextile covers accelerate the growth and development of seedlings as well
as their nutritive values. By preventing weed growth and insect protection, the use of herbicides and pesticides
are reduced. Agrotextiles made of natural fibres can be considered as a potential candidate for replacing some
of today’s popular synthetic agrotextiles which are becoming ecologically less acceptable nowadays.
Usage of agrotextiles is one of the growing alternatives in today’s context with respect to the increase in
global population thus food quantity and food quality and in the same time growing environmental concern.
Sustainable socio-economic development considers natural fibre usage in agrotextile production in all possible
areas covered by agrotextile application. The main purpose of the review is to give an overview and importance
of nonwoven agrotextiles with indication of nonwoven agrotextile perspective in future.

‘HoCP 09‐804’ (Reg. No. CV‐184, PI 688682) sugarcane (interspecific hybrid of Saccharum spp.) was selected and evaluated by the USDA‐ARS, working cooperatively with the Louisiana State University AgCenter and the American Sugarcane League, Inc. HoCP 09‐804 was selected from a cross between ‘HoCP 02‐625’ and ‘HoCP 01‐523’ made at the USDA‐ARS, Sugarcane Field Station, Canal Point, FL, in 2004 and was released to growers in Louisiana in 2016 because of high cane and sucrose yields. Yields from three crops (plant, first‐, and second‐ratoon) at 12 outfield locations compared well with ‘L 01‐299’, the most widely grown cultivar in Louisiana. The plant‐cane sugar yield (Mg ha−1) of HoCP 09‐804 was significantly greater than L 01‐299. The sucrose content (g kg−1) was second only to ‘HoCP 00‐950’, the standard for high sucrose. HoCP 09‐804 was among the earliest maturing cultivars, ranking second only to HoCP 00‐950, and cold tolerant, similar to ‘HoCP 04‐838’. HoCP 09‐804 is mildly susceptible to smut, leaf scald, and ratoon stunt. HoCP 09‐804 is susceptible to brown rust and mosaic caused by Sorghum mosaic virus. It is moderately susceptible to sugarcane borer. This cultivar's high yield potential, ratooning ability, and cold tolerance make it a useful addition to existing commercial sugarcane cultivars in Louisiana.
In Their Own Words: Pregnancy Prevention Needs of Latino Teen Mothers

Published: February 2019

The high rate of teen births among Latino youth is a major topic of concern. While the national Latina teen birth rate is twice that of non-Latino whites, Latina adolescents in California are four times as likely to become parents as whites. Nonetheless, little research has focused on pregnancy prevention programs and effective evaluation of such efforts for Latina populations. In response to this absence of information, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) offered a series of Latino teen pregnancy prevention strategies (Pérez & Duany, 1992). This study explored parenting Latina teens’ perspectives of the relevance of these strategies for pregnancy prevention programs in order to enhance our understanding of how to help Latino teen mothers delay a second birth, and to best provide programs and services that would enable them to improve life conditions for themselves and their children. Participants included 27 Latina teen mothers between the ages of 15 and 19 with one child. Teens from urban and non-urban settings and immigrant and U.S.-born teens were interviewed to allow for comparisons between these groups. The teens’ responses were roughly consistent with the National Council of La Raza’s (NCLR) recommendations. Few differences were found between U.S.-born and immigrant teens and between those living in urban and non-urban communities. / La alta tasa de natalidad adolescente entre la juventud Latina es un asunto de gran preocupación. Aunque la tasa de natalidad nacional es dos veces mayor a la de blancos no-Latinos, Latinas adolescentes son cuatro veces más probables de convertirse en madres que las blancas. Sin embargo, se han hecho muy pocas investigaciones que se concentren en programas de prevención de embarazo y evaluación efectiva de dichos esfuerzos para la población Latina. En respuesta a esta ausencia de información, el Consejo Nacional de la Raza (CNLR) ofreció una serie de estrategias para la prevención de embarazos de adolescentes Latinas (Pérez & Duany, 1992). Este estudio exploró la perspectiva de madres adolescentes Latinas acerca de la relevancia de las estrategias usadas en los programas de prevención de embarazo. De manera que sus opiniones aumentarían nuestro entendimiento de cómo ayudar a joven madres Latinas atrasar un segundo nacimiento, al igual que la mejor manera de proveer programas y servicios que permitirían que ellas mejoraran la calidad de vida de si mismas y la de sus hijos. Las participantes del estudio incluyeron 27 madres adolescentes Latinas entre las edades de 15 á 19 años de edad con un solo hijo. Adolescentes de zonas urbanas y no-urbanas al igual que inmigrantes y aquellas nacidas en los EU fueron entrevistadas para poder comparar entre estos grupos. Las respuestas de las jóvenes fueron más o menos consistentes con las del Consejo Nacional de la Raza (CNLR). Pocas diferencias fueron encontradas entre las jóvenes nacidas en los EU y las inmigrantes, y tampoco entre aquellas viviendo en comunidades urbanas y nourbanas.
