Patient and Family Engagement
Authors: Cai Bonnie Hope
Published: November 2021

British Columbia Mental Health and Substance Use Services (BCMHSUS) provides mental health services, education, and health promotion initiatives to people with mental health and substance use issues across the province of BC. As a Project Coordinator in the Patient and Community Engagement portfolio, I performed a variety of work to support patient and family engagement under the newly created Patient Engagement Framework. Engaging patients and families as active participants and co-designers of their own care is an important component of patient-centred care that improves healthcare quality, health outcomes, and overall experiences of care at a system level. To work towards this goal, I developed a trauma-informed policy and procedure for BCMHSUS on patient and family engagement to serve as a guideline for giving patients and families a voice in the design and delivery of their mental health care. I also drafted two patient engagement playbooks called Managing Conflict and Respecting Emotions and Engaging Mandated and Incarcerated Patients, which focus on barriers and solutions to engaging patients in vulnerable circumstances. Moreover, I worked with provincial stakeholders to write the annual report for the BC Partners, which is a collaborative mental health promotion partnership between BCMHSUS and 7 provincial organizations with different mental health and substance use specialties (e.g. BC Schizophrenia Society, The Mood Disorders Association of BC, Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research, etc.). I also performed a literature review of the evidence supporting family engagement in patient- and family-centred care, and I made infographics and other visual designs to translate research and knowledge in visually appealing ways. Overall, my practicum helped me contribute towards advancing public mental health by valuing patients' knowledge, skills, and lived experience in the health system and working on a variety of initiatives to promote mental health in the province.
The World Health Organization’s approach to equity
Authors: Amri Michelle
Published: November 2021

The World Health Organization (WHO), as the most prominent global health institution as a specialized agency of the United Nations, has expressed concern for health equity as part of its mandate, “the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health”. However, there is a lack of clarity around the WHO’s fundamental definition and conceptualization of equity. Through drawing on the WHO’s Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool (Urban HEART) as an illustrative case, the aim is to determine how the WHO operationalizes equity in practice. Preliminary findings suggest there is no consistent understanding of what the goal of Urban HEART is. This research has direct implications for practice: not only can the findings be applied to other global health work that seeks to improve equity, but the WHO is planning to reinstate Urban HEART. As such, this research may be beneficial in guiding these plans. Further, the findings yield an important consideration for global and public health policy and practice more broadly: the need to clarify objectives around equity (e.g. because how equity is defined determines the work undertaken and the populations served).

The increase in cancer incidence and mortality is challenging current cancer care delivery globally, disproportionally affecting low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) when it comes to receiving evidence‐based cancer prevention, treatment, and palliative and survivorship care. Patients in LMICs often rely on traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM) that is more familiar, less costly, and widely available. However, spheres of influence and tensions between conventional medicine and TCIM can further disrupt efforts in evidence‐based cancer care. Integrative oncology provides a framework to research and integrate safe, effective TCIM alongside conventional cancer treatment and can help bridge health care gaps in delivering evidence‐informed, patient‐centered care. This growing field uses lifestyle modifications, mind and body therapies (eg, acupuncture, massage, meditation, and yoga), and natural products to improve symptom management and quality of life among patients with cancer. On the basis of this review of the global challenges of cancer control and the current status of integrative oncology, the authors recommend: 1) educating and integrating TCIM providers into the cancer control workforce to promote risk reduction and culturally salient healthy life styles; 2) developing and testing TCIM interventions to address cancer symptoms or treatment‐related adverse effects (eg, pain, insomnia, fatigue); and 3) disseminating and implementing evidence‐based TCIM interventions as part of comprehensive palliative and survivorship care so patients from all cultures can live with or beyond cancer with respect, dignity, and vitality. With conventional medicine and TCIM united under a cohesive framework, integrative oncology may provide citizens of the world with access to safe, effective, evidence‐informed, and culturally sensitive cancer care.

Cada día encontramos más evidencia que nos permite confirmar que una correcta formación académica fundamentada en el área psicológica que incluye, gestión de las emociones que van desde la niñez, ayuda grandemente a desarrollar la inteligencia emocional como "la capacidad de adaptarse a los diferentes escenarios de la vida". Objetivo, analizar la influencia que tiene la inteligencia emocional en el desempeño laboral de los colaboradores/trabajadores dentro de las organizaciones y saber en qué nivel emocional se encuentran para lograr potenciar el nivel de desempeño. Metodología, se trata de aplicar una metodología descriptiva, bibliográfica y reflexiva, que ayudarían a los trabajadores de una empresa a movilizar y fortalecer las emociones para proveer en ellos su desarrollo, plan de carrera y formación sistémica. Por otro lado, se debería fomentar la aplicación de la empatía donde reconocemos las emociones de los demás para poder comprender las distintas situaciones que atraviesan nuestros próximos (familia, amigos, compañeros de trabajo u otros relacionados). Resultados, concienciar en  las empresas modernas para que tengan y contraten colaboradores con una "gran dosis" de inteligencia emocional para una mejor convivencia y que puedan encajar con la diversidad que existe en la actualidad sobre temas: generacionales, culturales, género, político, social, religioso, etc., esto sin duda impactará en la cultura empresarial, productividad y rentabilidad. Se evidenció, que los programas de capacitación y formación en varios trabajadores incremento en un 25% el promedio de la inteligencia emocional y con esto las habilidades sociales un 50%. Finalmente, se demostró que el 65% del éxito laboral se debe a un buen uso de la inteligencia emocional, no sólo consigo mismo, sino con los demás.

Authors: Bohatykov Oleksandr
Published: November 2021

The purpose of the article is to study the verdicts of the unified state register of court decisions, analysis of materials of investigative practice, scientific and theoretical views of scientists, to study the issue of widespread procedural violations during the investigative (search) inspection actions during the investigation of illegal seizure of a vehicle, which led to determination of the evidence as inadmissible. The methodological basis of a scientific article is an integral and consistent system of methods, which made it possible to properly analyze the subject of research, in particular, scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction were used. The theoretical basis for this publication was the works of domestic scientists, regarding the criteria for establishing or not recognizing evidence as inadmissible. The scientific novelty of the publication lies in the systematic analysis of the most common procedural violations during the inspection during the investigation of vehicle thefts. On the basis of the analysis, the most frequent procedural violations of the norms and procedures were established, which were established by the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine during the investigative (search) actions of the inspection, which led to the recognition of the evidence as inadmissible. Conclusions. Studying the issue of the types of procedural violations committed during the investigative (search) inspection actions during the investigation of illegal seizure of a vehicle, which are determined by the court to be unacceptable, makes it possible to single out the most common of them that are characteristic of this investigative action. In order to avoid the establishment, by the court, of evidence inadmissible, it is advisable to focus on judicial practice considering the widespread procedural violations that are most often encountered during the relevant procedural actions. Compliance in full with the norms, instructions of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, the procedure for conducting, fixing the investigative (investigative) action of the inspection by a law enforcement officer is an extremely important circumstance for the further decision by the court of the issue of the admissibility of the evidence obtained

Published: November 2021

В статті приділяється особлива увага підвищенню вимог до безпеки об'єктів особливої важливості, державного кордону, водного і повітряного транспорту в умовах наростаючих високотехнологічних терористичних загроз. Досягнення цих вимог нерозривно пов'язано із забезпеченням якісних показників технічних засобів дистанційного спостереження за небезпечними об'єктами, ускладненням і інтелектуалізацією локаційних систем, мереж датчиків з функціями мережецентричної взаємодії. Застосування противником засобів радіоелектронної протидії, швидка зміна сценаріїв постановки комбінованих завад визначають тенденції, які спрямовані на підвищення вірогідності отримання інформації в локаційних системах, адаптації до завад різного походження на коротких тимчасових інтервалах. Відсутність вірогідної інформації про наявність об'єкта може привести до неприпустимих екологічних і матеріальних втрат, а помилкові тривоги – до невиправданих додаткових витрат. У зв'язку з цим, важливим напрямком є забезпечення максимально вірогідної інформації в умовах завад різного походження. Актуальність проблеми пов'язана з пошуком компромісу між витратами (вартість і час розроблення) на побудову адаптивних систем виявлення і розпізнавання, і з іншого боку, ефективністю (вірогідність моделювання, складність реалізації), що досягається в результаті розроблення критеріїв оптимізації. При цьому, особлива увага приділяється забезпеченню високих якісних показників виявлення і розпізнавання в умовах мінливої та апріорно невідомої завадової обстановки.

Розроблений підхід і критерії для синтезу та аналізу цифрових адаптивних систем виявлення та розпізнавання. Критерії створені на декомпозиції середнього ризику і ймовірностей помилок прийнятих рішень, обумовлених: кінцевим розміром системи, обсягом навчальної вибірки і розрядністю обчислень. Такий підхід дозволяє послідовно вирішувати завдання синтезу та аналізу оптимальних систем.

Published: November 2021

A sepse é uma síndrome definida como uma resposta sistêmica e desordenada a determinado quadro infeccioso, causada por qualquer microrganismo, apresentando-se em diferentes estágios clínicos de um mesmo processo fisiopatológico. É fundamental a identificação precoce da sepse, além da utilização de escalas para identificar rapidamente os órgãos acometidos a fim de otimizar a administração de determinados recursos hospitalares. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar a associação entre os escores da escala Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) e a mortalidade de pacientes internados em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. Trata-se de um estudo de coorte prospectivo, com análise documental. O sistema respiratório e o de coagulação não apresentaram associação com a mortalidade. Entretanto, os escores dos outros 4 sistemas (hepático, cardiovascular, neurológico e renal) apresentaram forte associação com a mortalidade na amostra de estudo (p-valor <0,05). Foi possível verificar que a escala de SOFA é um instrumento preditor da mortalidade associada à disfunção orgânica em pacientes com infeção, internados em uma unidade de terapia intensiva.

O aumento do abate de fêmeas é cíclico no rebanho brasileiro, normalmente influenciado por uma crise no setor, gerando uma redução nos rebanhos. O abate de fêmeas gestante em estágio avançado por muito tempo foi proibido, por questões sanitárias e para a manutenção dos rebanhos. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar e quantificar o abate de um frigorífico na região Sul do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram avaliados dados referentes ao abate de machos e fêmeas por três anos consecutivos, perfazendo o abate de 24.632 bovinos. Os dados foram classificados quanto ao ano, o mês do abate, o sexo e a prenhez (adiantada e inicial). Posteriormente, os meses do ano foram separados por quadrimestres durante todo o período de avaliação. Para a significância dos dados foi utilizado o teste do Qui-Quadrado. As fêmeas tiveram o maior índice de abate em relação aos machos, com destaque para os meses de fevereiro e novembro. Do total de fêmeas abatidas 12,69% estavam prenhez, com maiores percentuais nos meses de março e abril. Das fêmeas gestantes, 9,99% encontravam-se no terço final de gestação com maiores acumulados nos meses de julho a outubro. O percentual de abate de fêmeas em gestação avançada encontrado no presente estudo é alto o qual propicia perdas para o produtor diminuindo o rendimento de carcaça. Além desses fatos, o abate de vaca gestante não é aconselhável em função da questão ética e de bem-estar animal.

Ocean acidification reduces the growth of two Southern Ocean phytoplankton
Authors: Andrew SM , Strzepek RF , Branson O , Ellwood MJ
Published: November 2021

Model projections for the Southern Ocean indicate that light, iron (Fe) availability, temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) will change concurrently in the future. We investigated the physiological responses of Southern Ocean phytoplankton to multiple variables by culturing the haptophyte Phaeocystis antarctica and the diatom Chaetoceros flexuosus under various combinations of light, Fe, temperature and CO2. Using statistical models, the influence of each environmental variable was analysed for each physiological response, ultimately predicting how ‘future’ conditions (high temperature and high CO2) would influence the 2 phytoplankton species. Under future conditions, cellular chlorophyll a and carbon to nitrogen molar ratios were modelled to increase for both species in all light and Fe treatments, but at times were inconsistent with measured values. Measured and modelled values of the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) declined in cultures of P. antarctica due to concurrent increases in temperature and CO2, under all light and Fe treatments. The trends in Fv/Fm for C. flexuosus were less clear. Our model and observations suggest that when temperature and CO2 are concurrently increased, the growth of both species remains largely unchanged. This modelling analysis reveals that high CO2 exerts a strong negative influence on the growth of both phytoplankton, and any ‘future’ increase in growth can be attributed to the positive effect of warming rather than a CO2 fertilisation effect.
Queen Anne's Body in Stuart Court Sermons
Authors: McKelvey Chelsea
Published: November 2021

This article aligns the 1605, 1606, and 1609 court sermons of Lancelot Andrewes with Ben Jonson's Masque of Blackness and Masque of Beauty (performed in 1605 and 1608, respectively) in order to argue that both genres politicize James VI and I's domestic life by commenting on Queen Anne's political and domestic roles. Scholars have examined the ways in which Anne's performance in the court masques allowed her to claim a sense of authority and agency over her body. Recent research on sermons has demonstrated how they were another form of court entertainment, more akin to masques and plays than we might expect, and that the sermon genre often commented on ongoing political and domestic situations in the Stuart court. Yet, scholars have not considered how the masques prompted a response from another popular court genre, the sermon. In placing these two genres—sermon and masque—alongside one another, I argue that Andrewes's patriarchal downplaying of the woman's body in the Biblical Nativity narrative is actually a response to Jonson's masques, rather than the normative touchstone of early modern understandings of gender and maternity. Considering Andrewes's view of the female body as a contrast to Jonson's display and celebration of the female body reveals multiple models for understanding maternity in the early modern period.
‘In the Light of Leibniz and Lucretius’: An Encounter between Deleuze and New Materialism
Authors: Berressem Hanjo
Published: November 2021

While most new materialists, including Thomas Nail, tend to distance themselves from Deleuze, this essay reads the encounter of Nail's ‘process materialism’ and Deleuzian philosophy as productive rather than contentious. After tracing the affinities of their notions of continuity and discontinuity by way of Deleuze's The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque and Nail's Lucretius I: An Ontology of Motion and Being and Motion, the essay considers Nail's unfolding of Lucretius’ luminous philosophy in relation to Deleuze's reading of Lucretius from within Deleuze's own ‘philosophical luminism’. Within the multiple overlaps between Nail and Deleuze, particularly vis-à-vis quantum physics and quantum field theory, their divergent readings of the particle–wave duality bring about a productive conceptual tension. Nail's argument about the ontological precedence of waves over particles (‘process precedes existence’) is illuminated by Deleuze's concept of their ontological complementarity (actual particles and virtual waves, virtual particles and actual waves), and vice versa.
Deleuze and the Digital: On the Materiality of Algorithmic Infrastructures
Authors: Mischke Dennis
Published: November 2021

In his short and often quoted essay ‘Postscript on the Societies of Control’, Gilles Deleuze famously describes the structures of power in the dawning twenty-first century as driven by ‘machines of a third type, computers’, as novel and predominantly digital infrastructures. In fact, from a Deleuzian perspective the entire ecosystem of the digital transformation can be described as a larger shift in modes of production and the political economy. This essay proposes to read this ‘technological evolution’ as the power of algorithms and their material substance – digital infrastructures that entail a different mode of interaction between humans and technology. In looking at these infrastructures from a materialist position, my essay reconceptualises the digital as the unfolding logic of assemblages that have been shaping a ‘long now’ of technological modernity. In bringing a Deleuzian reading of infrastructures to the study of technology and society, this essay seeks to shed a new light on the political function – and the increasing abstraction – of infrastructures in the realm of the digital.

The article deals with the methodology of business case for application of energy storage units in urban transport and home power grids while using dual- and three-zone pricing; in addition it provides an example of the methodology application. The object of study are electrical grids with energy storage units. The purpose of the work is to develop the business case for application of energy storage units in urban transport and home power grids while using dual- and three-zone pricing. Methods of investigations - mathematical modeling of processes. As a rule, the volumes of electricity production and its consumption do not coincide in time. Therefore, energy storage units are used to optimize energy flows. The drive is charged with an excess of energy and transfers the stored energy to the system at the moments of its absence. The development of such technologies can have a significant economic effect and is of great practical importance. In Ukraine, dual­zone and three-zone pricing are set for the population and businesses. When using the dual-zone pricing, the energy price coefficients for households are 0.5 at night from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. and 1.0 in the daytime. The maximum operation of urban electric transport, as well as power consumption by enterprises, organizations and households, occurs at the time of day with the highest energy price. To reduce overall consumption, you can charge energy storage units at night and use the stored energy during the day. The methodology for business case for application of energy storage units by using dual-zone and three-zone pricing is proposed. We have obtained the criteria for this need. To calculate the payback period of the project, we use the method of expected current clean price is used. It is shown that at the existing prices of energy storage systems and electricity pricing in Ukraine, the use of such systems to save money due to low night pricing is impractical. It was determined that business case for application of energy storage units when using a dual-zone pricing in Ukraine can take place if only specific electricity pricing from available units is less than 0.2 ... 0.7 UAH/kWh. The results of the study can be used in the design of electrical systems with energy storage units. The predicted assumption about the development of the object of study is to determine business case for application of energy storage units in consumer power circuits using alternative sources of electricity.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of the article is to analyze the existing methods of surface layer modification and to choose such a method of restoration of parts, which takes into account the quality criteria that affect the op­erational properties and ensure their required level after the modification process. The main methods of surface layer modification are considered in the article, the main advantages and disadvantages of technological process that can be applied are analyzed and systematized. In the article quantitative indicators of the main technological parameters of each of the considered methods of restoration of operational properties are considered and presented as a table. According to the results of the analysis, a method for choosing a rational technological process of res­toration was proposed and criteria were formed according to which the most optimal method of surface layer modification would be fulfilled. . The object of study is the quality criteria and the basic methods for restoring the performance of en­gine parts that satisfy these criteria. Using the developed methodology and the data from Table 2, a diagram of the dependence of energy consumption costs, which will be consumed when provided with a layer of certain hardness for a given thickness, was constructed. Based on the analysis, which included a comparison of the characteristics of surface hardening meth­ods and their evaluation by quality criteria, it was found that the most promising method is ion nitriding and laser thermal hardening.

A number of groups of alternative fuels that can be used in automotive diesel engines are considered, the advantages and disadvantages of each group of fuels are analyzed. It has been established that alternative fuels derived from vegetable oils - biodiesel fuels - meet the most fully met requirements. Comparison of the effectiveness of biodiesel fuel from rapeseed, sunflower and soybean oil in terms of changes in fuel efficiency and toxicity of exhaust gases compared to diesel fuel of mineral origin. It has been established that the considered biodiesel fuels may be used in automotive diesel engines, which will reduce fuel consumption of petroleum origin. The use of biodiesel fuels, in addition, reduces environmental pollution by greenhouse and toxic exhaust gases. It has been established that when a diesel engine runs on biodiesel fuels, the content of the main harmful components in exhaust gases (mono-oxides of carbon, hydrocarbons, soot) decreases. To reduce the content of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases, it is necessary to reduce the initial injection advance angle. The results shown in the article can be used for further research on the alternative diesel fuels using effectiveness. KEYWORDS: ALTERNATIVE FUEL, DIESEL, BIODIESEL FUEL, ECOLOGY

The article proposes an approach to reduce the negative impact of aviation noise on the population by scaling the process, which includes the analysis of the system «airport infrastructure (AI) - external environment (AF)», calculating and digitizing the main characteristics of noise, and improving the implementation of the Balanced Approach concept. Object of study - parametric pollution of the aviation transport system, taking into account the development of the basic elements. The purpose of the article is to propose to build an effective algorithm for the necessary measures aimed at reducing the negative impact of aviation noise. The research method is a systematic analysis of the mutual influence of parametric pollution of the aviation transport system on the environment. The inextricable link between nature, society and transport, which has a mutual character, is determined. The threat of an increase in the number of people exposed to aviation noise necessitates the search for ways and methods of public consciousness based on fundamentally new world-views and values. The results of the article can be implemented in the implementation of the concept of «Balanced Approach» to the problems of aviation noise management, provided by the national legislation of Ukraine. Predictive assumptions about the development of the object of study - A rational solution is to develop an online system for gathering information on noise from aviation transport system (with geospatial information) with subsequent visualization (interactive map of Ukraine) with generalized data of levels and noise contours, from all airports for easy and clear access to information.
