The Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system is a method for evaluating and monitoring the integrity of the structure. It has been widely used in various engineering sectors, such as in aerospace, civil and energy sectors due to its ability to react to structural changes on an online basis or in real-time monitoring. The SHM system was able to evolve and work in a variety of structures or components due to the rapid development of sensor technology. It is believed that SHM will become an important tool in various industries for structural monitoring in future years. The paper presents a summary of the latest SHM technology in civil and aviation technology applications as well as the challenges in cost analysis and certification issues for the implementation of SHM.
“As for the Doer of His Will, May They Ascend as a Fine Fragrance”: A Note on Jubilees 2:22
Authors: Nati James
Published: April 2021

Most commentators have translated Jub. 2:22 as though God’s commandments rise as a fine fragrance. This note suggests that this idea is unparalleled in early Judaism, and it argues that the Ethiopic of this verse should be understood differently. The idea expressed in Jub. 2:22 is that “the doer of God’s will” is the one to ascend as a fine fragrance. Some implications of this suggestion are explored.

Published: April 2021

Introduction. The Kemerovo region is the largest coal-producing region in Russia, and coal mining hurts the environment. The earth's developed mineral deposits are sources of pollution of atmospheric air, water, and soil. They increase the risk to public health. The implementation of measures for the reclamation of disturbed land is an urgent problem. The study aims to assess the health of an industrial city from air pollution during the liquidation of mining operations, and reclamation works carried out at a coal mine. Materials and methods. The scientists assessed the distribution and impact of atmospheric emissions at 40 plotted points based on a map of the city of Kisilevsk in the Kemerovo region. We calculated the maximum and average annual concentrations of pollutants and identified the risk of chronic intoxication and carcinogenic risk. Scientists obtained risk values with acceptable levels. The risk values were determined, taking into account the background concentrations of substances. Results. The researchers revealed priority pollutants: inorganic dust, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon (soot), carbon monoxide. There is no excess of the maximum average annual concentrations during the liquidation and reclamation at the coal mine for all pollutants. The combined values of the risk of chronic intoxication and carcinogenic risk do not exceed the acceptable level. The total values of the risk of chronic intoxication, taking into account the background concentrations of pollutants, exceed the proper level at all points of exposure. Conclusions. Activities for the elimination and reclamation of mine workings do not significantly impact the environment and the health of the population of the city of Kiselevsk.
Kur’ân Yorumunda Rab Kavramının Anlam Değişimi
Authors: NAS Hasan
Published: April 2021

Kur’ân’da Allah Teâlâ’nın rubûbiyetini ifade eden rab kavramı, Allah lafzından sonra ulûhiyeti belirtmek için en çok kullanılan ikinci isimdir. Bu itibarla Kur’ân’ın köşe taşı kavramlarından biri olan rab kavramı-nın asli anlamının ve yan anlamlarının doğru bir şekilde tespit edilmesi, ilahi mesajın doğru anlaşılması için önemlidir. Rab kelimesinin temel anlamına ilk dönem sözlük ve tefsirlerde verilen karşılık ile sonraki dönem bazı kaynak eserlerde yüklenen anlam farklı olmuş, kavramın temel anlamı ile yan anlamlarından bir tanesi yer değiştirmiştir. Belli bir dönemde ortaya çıkan bu anlam değişimiyle birlikte rab kavramının anlamı bariz bir şekilde daralmış ve Allah Teâlâ’nın bütün mahlûkatı kuşatan tasarruflarını vurgulayan bu zihniyet inşa edici kavramın, zamanla O’nun varlık âleminin yalnızca bir kısmına yönelik faaliyetlerini ifade edebilecek şekilde değerlendirilmesi sonucunu doğurmuştur. Bu çalışmada öncelikle rab kavramı-nın temel ve yan anlamları ilk dönem eserlerden hareketle tespit edilmeye çalışılacak, ardından kavramın cahiliye şiirlerindeki, Kur’ân ve hadislerdeki ve Arapça ile akraba dillerdeki kullanımları tahlil edilmeye çalışılacaktır. Akabinde bu kavramın belli bir süreçte ortaya çıkan farklı bir temel anlamı üzerinde durula-cak ve bu yaklaşımın Kur’ân’ın evrensel mesajına etkisi değerlendirilecektir.
Internet of Robotics Things (IoRT) Based Integration of Robotic Applications for Advanced Research

Published: April 2021

IoT and robotics industries are united to create the Internet of Robotics Things (IoRT). IoRT is the idea of intelligent machines monitoring the environment around them and using local and distributed intelligence to decide on courses of action and making decisions accordingly. IOT is a network of devices that are connected to the internet, including devices and equipment connected by sensors. These elements are essential for businesses trying to drive customer facing innovation, data-driven decisions, new applications, digital transformation, business models and revenue streams. Robots need to maintain great flexibility to react to unexpected conditions. AI helps these robots to deal with any unforeseen circumstances. Robotics and Simulation are key elements in the solutions of advancing manufacturing and production. Many people often think of IoT and robotics technologies in separate fields but they have been getting increasingly close in recent years. The In this way, such processes are used to avoid the loss of human life and the automation of processes which need high performances. Robotic and simulated application have been successfully deployed to functions in real world scenarios that man will not be able to accomplish such as study of volcanoes, and space center on its own. Furthermore, the robotic implementations give robots the opportunity to efficiently and safely function in the adverse conditions without being injured physically.

Authors: Enjhela Dewi Yermawati
Published: April 2021

Abstrak: Negara Indonesia merupakan Negara majemuk karena masyarakat Indonesia berasal dari suku, agama, ras dan budaya yang berbeda-beda. Adapun agama yang dianut oleh masyarakat Indonesia diantaranya ialah agama Islam dan Kristen. Dalam menjalin sebuah hubungan antar umat beragama tak dapat dipungkiri terkadang timbul masalah yang mengakibatkan perpecahan dapat terjadi. Disamping itu fenomena perpecahan terjadi diakibatkan oleh karena terjadinya benturan atau kesalahpahaman antar agama. Kesalahpahaman tersebut terjadi karena interpretasi, tanggapan serta pikiran yang seharusnya tidak dilakukan, namun dilakukan antar pemeluk agama. Terutama apabila tindakan tersebut telah melebihi batas atau koridor-koridor dalam agama tersebut. Oleh karena itu tulisan ini akan meneliti faktor yang menyebabkan Perpecahan antar umat beragama di Indonesia. Karena pada dasarnya sikap yang menjunjung tinggi rasa toleransi yang kuat akan meningkatkan kesejahteraan. Selain itu tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan tugas dan tanggungjawab gereja dalam memperlihatkan sikap yang benar sekaligus menjadi saksi untuk melihat perpecahan yang terjadi dalam kehidupan antarumat beragama. Sehingga perlu menerapkan Hospitalitas (keramahtamahan) merupakan salah satu cara yang dapat diterapkan untuk mengatasi terjadinya perpecahan tersebut.
PENANGANAN BERBASIS RUMAH SAKIT TERHADAP KORBAN KEKERASAN BERBASIS GENDER

Published: April 2021

Kekerasan berbasis gender telah ada dan menjadi bagian dari kehidupan umat manusia selama peradaban ini ada. Beragam faktor yang melatar belakanginya. Namun persoalan tersebut hingga saat ini masih kurang menjadi perhatian publik. Bahkan cenderung diisolasi agar tidak menjadi konsumsi publik. Mayoritas korban tindak kekerasan berbasis gender adalah perempuan dan anak-anak. Perempuan rentan menjadi korban tindak kekerasan karena mereka lemah dan tidak berdaya, akibat dari relasi gender yang tidak adil dan setara. Laki-laki cenderung dominan dalam relasi gender. Fenomena tersebut bisa dilihat dalam berbagai data baik di media ataupun lem-baga sosial yang punya perhatian menangani kasus ini. Dalam perkembangan saat ini, terutama pasca reformasi perhatian publik terhadap persoalan tindak kekerasan berbasis gender meningkat. Banyak lembaga sosial kemasyarakatan dan juga lembaga layanan publik yang memberikan layanan penanganan korban tindak kekerasan berbasis gender, diantaranya Pusat Krisis Terpadu (PKT) Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) Jakarta. PKT RSCM merupakan pioner dari lembaga penanganan korban kekerasan berbasis gender yang berbasis rumah sakit.
Individual differences in decision-making
Authors: Berthet Vincent , de Gardelle Vincent
Published: April 2021

The study of individual differences in rational decision-making has led to two close streams of research. While the study of scores to the Adult-Decision Making Competence (A-DMC) tasks has provided evidence in favor of a general decision-making competence (DMC) factor, studies investigating individual differences in performance on heuristics and biases tasks have challenged a one-factor model of rationality. Assuming that heuristics and biases are part of DMC and considering that the A-DMC assesses just a few of them, the aim of the present study was to test whether a general DMC factor still emerges when adding four heuristics and biases tasks to the six A-DMC tasks, while ensuring satisfactory levels of score reliability. Exploratory factor analyses revealed that while performance on the A-DMC tasks can be reasonably aggregated into a general DMC measure, a two-factor model provided the best statistical and conceptual fit of the 10 tasks combined, the two factors reflecting Mindware gaps and Contaminated mindware.

Hospitalitas Kristen terhadap suatu kebajikan di tengah maraknya nama agama
Authors: Lumomba Rista
Published: April 2021

bstrak : Penulis ini memperlihatkan bahwa hospitalitas pernah menjadi nilai yang penting dalam kehidupan Kristen. Namun, hospitalitas telah menjadi nilai yang terlupakan dalam dunia masa kini. Padahal, praktek hospitalitas Kristen telah membuktikan kepada kita bahwa betapa pentingnya sikap hospitalitas bagi orang Kristen ditengah pergumulan untuk hidup bersama di tengah masyarakat yang plural. Hospitalitas menawarkan jalan masuk untuk hidup bersama dalam pergumulan perbedaan etnis, pendidikan dan latarbelakang sosial, agama, orientasi politik, dan sebagainya. Hospitalitas adalah sebuah praktek yang mendesak bagi masyarakat masa kini dimana hospitalitas tidak hanya menyediakan kebutuhan bagi masyarakat yang membutuhkan, tetapi juga menciptakan ruang dan waktu bagi orang lain. Hospitalitas sangat erat berhubungan dengan hati karena hospitalitas mendorong relasi dari seorang tamu menjadi tuan rumah dan menjadi permusuhan persahabatan.Oleh karena hospitalitas membuka pintu untuk hidup bersama dalam konteks masyarakat yang telah tercemar oleh kekerasan, kekasaran, kecurigaan terhadap orang lain atas nama perbedaan, maka hospitalitas bukanlah toleransi. Hospitalitas lebih dari sekedar toleransi karena hospitalitas menawarkan ruang untuk melampaui batas perbedaan dan berusaha untuk belajar satu sama lain, serta mengenali otensitas satu sama lain. Hospitalitas adalah nilai kunci karena menciptakan ruang penerimaan, saling menghormati, dan pengenalan serta perayaan untuk hidup bersama dalam perbedaan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian teologis. Gereja sebagai penerima hospitalitas Allah, seharusnya berjalan di depan sebagai promotor (orang yang menjadi penganjur atau pendorong suatu usaha) tentang bagaimana masyarakat dapat hidup bersama, sebagai tampilan atas karya Allah. Gereja dari dalam dirinya membangun model masyarakat seperti ini, yang tampak pertama-tama dalam ibadah secara komunal maupun pribadi, pekayanan sosial dan usaha keras dalam mewujudkan perdamaian. Dengan cara yang sama, Institut Kristen juga seharusnya bekerja dengan keras ke arah visi ini dengan maksud untuk menunjukkan betapa dalamnya kerajaan Allah yang penuh dengan damai. Tulisan ini juga bertujuan untuk merumuskan model sikap etis hospitalitas Kristen di tengah maraknya nama agama.

Ongoing tectonic subsidence in the Lesser Antilles subduction zone
Authors: van Rijsingen Elenora , Calais Eric , Jolivet Romain , de Chabalier Jean-Bernard , Robertson Richard , Ryan Graham , Symithe Steeve
Published: April 2021

Geological estimates of vertical motions in the central part of the Lesser Antilles show subsidence on timescales ranging from 125.000 to 100 years, which has been interpreted to be caused by interseismic locking along the subduction megathrust. However, horizontal GNSS velocities show that the Lesser Antilles subduction interface is currently building up little to no elastic strain. Here we present new present-day vertical velocities for the Lesser Antilles islands and explore the link between short- and long-term vertical motions and their underlying processes. We find a geodetic subsidence of the Lesser Antilles island arc at 1-2 mm/yr, consistent with the ∼100-year trend derived from coral micro-atolls. Using elastic dislocation models, we show that a locked or partially-locked subduction interface would produce uplift of the island arc, opposite to the observations, hence supporting a poorly-coupled subduction. We propose that this long-term, margin-wide subsidence is controlled by slab dynamic processes, such as slab rollback. Such processes could also be responsible for the aseismic character of the subduction megathrust.
Revision of thelodonts, acanthodians, conodonts, and the depositional environments in the Burgen outlier (Ludlow, Silurian) of Gotland, Sweden

Published: April 2021

Ludfordian strata exposed in the Burgen outlier in eastern Gotland record a time of initial faunal recovery after a global environmental perturbation manifested in the Ludfordian Carbon Isotope Excursion (LCIE). Vertebrate microfossils in the collection of the late Lennart Jeppsson, hosted at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, hold the key to reconstruct the dynamics of faunal immigration and diversification during the decline of the LCIE, but the stratigraphic relationships of the strata have been debated. Historically, they had been placed in the Burgsvik Formation, which included the Burgsvik Sandstone and the Burgsvik Oolite members. We revise the fauna in the Jeppsson collection and characterize key outcrops of Burgen and Kapellet. The former Burgsvik Oolite Member is here revised as the Burgen Oolite Formation. In the Burgen outlier, back-shoal facies of this formation are represented and their position in the Ozarkodina snajdri Biozone is supported. The shallow-marine position compared to the coeval strata in southern Gotland is reflected in the higher δ13Ccarb values, reaching +9.2‰. The back-shoal succession includes high-diversity metazoan reefs, which indicate a complete recovery of the carbonate producers as the LCIE declined. The impoverishment of conodonts associated with the LCIE in southern Gotland might be a product of facies preferences, as the diverse environments in the outlier yielded all 21 species known from the formation. Fish diversity also returned to normal levels as the LCIE declined, with a minimum of nine species. In line with previous reports, thelodont scales appear to dominate samples from the Burgen outlier.
Integrated multi-proxy source-to-sink analysis of the Lower Cretaceous of the Essaouira-Agadir Basin.

Published: April 2021

This study investigates the Provenance of the Barremian-Aptian fluvial clastics exposed in the Essaouira-Agadir Basin which bears an important potential in terms of offshore feeding of reservoir sands. Thin section petrography and SEM, heavy minerals analysis, and detrital zircon dating were conducted and integrated with a large dataset of published low-temperature thermochronology studies to model the associated source-to-sink system. The homogeneity of fingerprints throughout the basin indicated a single provenance for both the northern and southern studied transects. The hinterland analysis based on LTT data revealed that only the Western Meseta and MAM regions were possible source candidates for the Barremian Aptian which was confirmed by detrital zircon geochronology. Heavy mineral populations confirmed that sediment sources were of recycled nature and rock fragment populations in the EAB revealed clasts of limestones, sandstones and volcanic nature only matching with the MAM. The Barremian-Aptian fluvial being sourced from a source-to-sink system of moderate size (200-300 km long) with an exclusive or dominant source located in the MAM (western High Atlas) provides the best fit explanation matching with each individual dataset. This likely provided a sand-rich mix of sediment resulting from the erosion of Triassic continental basins, with associated clays resulting from the weathering of basalts and Triassic /Jurassic mudstones. Associated low sea level allowed the direct sediment supply within the slope/offshore domain where seismic imaging suggests the presence of synchronous high reflectivity deep-water channels located in structural lows controlled by diapiric salt movement. An overall NNW drainage deflection is observed offshore the northern part of the basin. The Mesetian domain is likely to be undergoing denudation at the same time and shedding a clastic-rich sediment supply north of the studied region. Due to the offshore NNW deflection of the sediment supply along the northern part of the EAB, mixing between MAM and Mesetian sands is likely offshore Essaouira making the probability of good reservoir sands in the region high.
Curiosity Enhances Incidental Object Encoding in 8-month-old Infants
Authors: Chen Xiaoyun , Twomey Katherine Elizabeth , Westermann Gert
Published: April 2021

Recent research with adults indicates that curiosity induced by uncertainty enhances learning and memory outcomes, and that the resolution of curiosity has a special role in curiosity-driven learning. However, the role of curiosity-based learning in early development is unclear. Here we presented 8-month-old infants with a novel looking time procedure to explore: 1) whether uncertainty-induced curiosity enhances learning of incidental information; and 2) whether uncertainty-induced curiosity leads infants to seek uncertainty resolution over novelty. In Experiment 1, infants saw blurred images to induce curiosity (Curiosity sequence) or a clear image (Non-curiosity sequence) followed by presentation of incidental objects. Despite looking equally to the incidental objects in both sequences, in a subsequent object recognition phase infants looked longer to incidental objects presented in the Non-Curiosity than in the Curiosity condition, indicating that curiosity induced by blurred pictures enhanced processing of the incidental object, leading to a novelty preference for the incidental object in the Non-Curiosity condition. In Experiment 2, a blurred picture of a novel toy was first presented, followed by its corresponding clear picture paired with a clear picture of a new novel toy side-by-side. Infants showed no preference for either image, providing no evidence for a drive to resolve uncertainty. Overall, the current studies suggest that curiosity in infants has a broad attention-enhancing effect which contrasts with a more focused function of curiosity in adults..
Selective Civilian Targeting: The Unintended Consequences of Partial Peace
Authors: Prem Mounu , Rivera Andrés F. , Romero Dario A. , Vargas Juan F.
Published: April 2021

Peace agreements may inadvertently increase selective violence against civilians when they are incomplete in two key dimensions. First, only a fraction of the existing armed groups participates of the agreement. Second, the legitimate government fails to establish institutional presence in the areas previously controlled by those who do participate. Under these two conditions, the resulting vacuum of power may attract active armed groups who engage in selective civilian victimization to obtain control. Studying the recent Colombian experience, we find that the permanent ceasefire declared by the FARC insurgency in 2014 led to a surge in the targeting of community leaders in former FARC strongholds, perpetrated by armed groups excluded from the peace process, with the goal of consolidating their dominance in those areas. Critically, selective victimization is attenuated by some dimensions of state capacity and exacerbated in places which are more valuable as proxied by the existence of recent land conflicts.

Exploring Inconsistencies in the Interpretation of Canada’s Section 161 Order for Sexual Offending
Authors: Knack Natasha , Blais Julie , Fedoroff J. Paul
Published: April 2021

Community-based risk management strategies for people convicted of sexual offences (PCSO) can hinder successful reintegration, which plays an important role in reducing sexual recidivism. Section 161 of the Criminal Code is a Canadian risk management strategy, which aims to protect children by prohibiting people convicted of sexual offences against children (PCSO-C) from engaging in behaviours assumed (sometimes erroneously) to be associated with sexual offending. This study was the first to evaluate Section 161 prohibition orders. We explored inconsistencies in the interpretation and (hypothetical) application of these conditions between PCSO-C subject to Section 161 and two non-forensic subsamples of the Canadian public – community members and undergraduate students. Non-forensic participants expressed more negative attitudes towards the treatment of PCSO, which were found to mediate the relationship between group membership and subjective legal decision-making. Degree of support for Section 161 conditions did not appear to moderate this effect. Results raise concerns about the potential for increased personal discretion when enforcing or adhering to ambiguous or overly broad legal conditions. We suggest the need for continued efforts to establish an empirical understanding of the application, efficacy, and potential collateral consequences associated with this Canadian risk management strategy.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURAL Σ-CONVERGENCE OF EXPORTS

Published: April 2021

The paper analyses the structural σ-convergence of exports of six CEE countries to the Euro area. The countries are Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, and Slovenia, which are members of the Euro area, as well as Bulgaria, which was included in the ERM II currency mechanism on 10.07.2020. The main goals are to measure and compare the structural σ-convergence of exports of the six CEE countries and to prove whether the introduction of the common currency (the euro) has an impact on the convergence. The research consists of the theoretical and empirical parts. The theoretical part systematizes basic concepts of economic, trade, club, and structural convergence. One index method used by his authors to study economic convergence has been adapted to the structural σ-convergence of exports. This is the dissimilarity index of Von Hagen and Traistaru. In the empirical part, the values of the index, by commodity groups, according to SITС, Rev. 4, for the six countries during the period 2002-2018 are determined. The index is calculated also as aggregated, referring to the total exports of the selected countries and for the whole period. The results are presented in graphical form. Based on them, the structural and dynamic characteristics of the convergence and divergence of exports of the six countries compared to the exports of the Euro area are derived. Conclusions are made about achieved the different degree of similarity, that is uncertain and unstable and so the convergence can be only partially attributed to the adoption of the euro. Methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, methods of the empirical index, and comparative analysis are applied.

Propolis is a natural product, and it is of a great interest due to the possible uses of non-synthetic supplements in improving metabolic disorders. To support this claim, the current study was designed and presented. In this study, six propolis extracts obtained from different location of Turkey were investigated to prove the beneficial therapeutic properties such as inhibition potent against some enzymes and levels of antioxidant. IC50 results of α-glucosidase (0.208-0.426 mg/mL) and α-amylase (0.487-0.938 mg/mL) were found the variable range. Moreover, antioxidant results of them were given to support the inhibition degrees. According to the total phenolic (TPC) and antioxidant data, S4 was noted as the most efficient sample. Future studies are needed to investigate the biological effects of propolis, but the ultimate evaluating showed that it could be a significant source thanks to its nutritional and clinical potential.

Published: April 2021

Bee stings are one of the most common insect bites. In some insects, including bees, the sting, along with the venom gland, is separates from the bees' body after the bite and remains at the site of the bite. Bee stings are associated with symptoms such as redness of the skin, itching, allergic reactions causing infection, headache, dizziness, nausea, chest pain, suffocation, breathing difficulty, and paralysis of the bite area. This review study was conducted to identify Iranian medicinal plants for the treatment of bee stings. It was used to review articles in Iranian ethnobotanical sources and articles. Keywords such as bee sting, bee sting, medicinal plants, ethnobotany, identification of medicinal plants and Iran were used. Databases such as ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ISC, ISID, Magiran and Google Scholar were used to review articles and resources. Medicinal plants such as Aloe vera, Calendula officinalis, Ruta graveolens L., Allium sativum, Heliotropium ramosissimum, Allium cepa L., Taraxacum officinale L., Rosa canina L., Petroselinum crispum, Verbascum songaricum Schrenk., Vitex pseudonegundo, Ment eriophora DC., Peganum harmala L, Citrullus colocynthis, Ocimum basilicum, Curcuma longa were among the most important medicinal plants used in Iranian ethnobotanical sources to treat bee stings. The most common plant families used for bee stings include Asteraceae and Lamiaceae. Also, the most plant organs used in bee stings included leaves (37%), shoots (20%) and flowers (14%). This study lists a number of plants that have been introduced in different parts of Iran as a treatment and antidote against bee stings and bee stings. This study introduces a number of herbs that are used in different parts of Iran as a treatment against bee stings. We believe that the plants can be used as herbal remedies and antidotes against bee stings. Lack of natural, useful and effective drugs for the treatment of bites leads to the expansion of research on effective and natural drugs for patients with bites.

Probiyotikler, yeterli miktarda uygulandıklarında konakçıya sağlık yararları sağlayan canlı mikroorganizmalardır. Probiyotikler bağırsak florasını düzenler, bakteriyel toksinlere karşı hidrolitik enzimler salgılar, toksin reseptörlerini inaktive eder, immun sistemi düzenler, patojenlerin virülensini azaltır, olumsuz metabolitleri azaltır, yararlı metabolitleri arttırır, infeksiyonlarda ve inflamatuvar hastalıklarda tedavi ve korunmada rol oynar. Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus ve Bifidobacterium cinslerine ait çeşitli türler, bugüne kadarki en popüler probiyotik etkenlerdir. Son yıllarda probiyotikler, hem insanlarda hem de hayvanlarda tedavi edici ve koruyucu amaçlarla kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Son yıllarda bal arısı sağlığında da oldukça sık kullanılmaya başlanmıştır.
Dysphagia Identification and Assessment in Adults in Primary Care Settings—A Canadian Study of Dietitians
Authors: Werstuck Michele Macdonald , Steel Cindy
Published: April 2021

Dysphagia affects up to 35% of older adults living in the community and is considered a significant risk factor for malnutrition and aspiration. Early intervention is important, yet dietitian referrals for dysphagia management in primary care are disproportionately low considering the prevalence of dysphagia and its risk factors. As little is known about dietitian’s current dysphagia identification and assessment practices in Canada, an online survey was developed. Registered dietitians practicing in primary care were invited to participate. Of the 70 surveys completed, nearly 75% do not have a dysphagia screening process where they practice, and only 8% reported performing noninstrumental, clinical swallowing assessment (CSA). Lack of competency or skills required to complete dysphagia screening and assessment was the most reported barrier. Many respondents were unsure or did not believe CSA fell within their scope of practice, and over 70% reported needing hands-on dysphagia screening and assessment training. Current practices in primary care could be placing individuals with dysphagia, and those at risk, in jeopardy of being overlooked. Initiatives to increase dysphagia awareness, create screening processes, and increase awareness of dietitian’s scope of practice are needed to enable primary care dietitians to develop competency in dysphagia screening and assessment.
Tissue Infiltrating Immune Cells and Endometrial Cancer Prognosis

Published: April 2021

The number of patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer surpasses that of any other gynaecological cancer. This disease is usually detected early after disease onset and with current therapy 80 percent of patients with early-stage disease reach a five-year survival milestone. However, patients with advanced or recurrent disease have a grim outcome and the five-year survival rate for these patients is only about 16 percent. In several cancer types there is accumulating evidence that immune cells play a crucial role in the initiation, progression and outcome of disease. In order to provide novel and effective immunotherapeutic treatments for advanced disease endometrial cancer, an understanding of the relevance of immune cells needs to be addressed. This review briefly discusses current knowledge in the area of immune cells and how they may alter the course of endometrial cancer, as well as the implications of these cells for novel therapy and outcome.

Published: April 2021

Objectives: Previous research has shown that submaximal mouth opening by mandibular extension (ME) is followed by a prolonged reduction in blood pressure. This effect was observed in young and adult normotensive and hypertensive rats and in young normotensive human subjects.
Methods: We assessed the effects of a ME for 10 minutes obtained with a fixed mouth opener in both hypertensive adult humans (aged 55 years or older) and elderly (6-7 months) anaesthetized, hypertensive rats (SHR). Blood pressure and heart rate were measured every 10 minutes by non-invasive automatic recorders for 30 minutes before and 120 minutes after the procedure. Nine human hypertensive subjects (7 experimental and 2 controls) and seven spontaneously hypertensive rats (5 experimental and 2 controls) were tested.
Results: A statistically significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and heart rate (HR) was observed after ME in the seven hypertensive human subjects, in whom an average decrease of 15 mmHg for SBP, 10 mmHg for MABP and 7 bpm for HR, was observed. A similar hypotensive effect was recorded in spontaneously hypertensive rats that displayed a statistically significant decrease of SBP, DBP and MABP, amounting to about 40-50 mmHg.
Conclusion: This study provides the first evidence that ME has an important and prolonged hypotensive effect when applied to subjects with high blood pressure, making their arterial blood pressure decrease toward normal values for at least two hours.

Esta edição não tem como pretensão alcançar uma uniformização de análises ou de temas, considerando-se que os discursos muito diferenciados que se apresentam são enriquecedores, assim como as manifestas diferenças entre investigadores. Foi possível verificar, até na fase de revisão científica, que há uma multiplicidade de abordagens possíveis para a Arte, mas sempre com um denominador comum: qualidade. O mais difícil, mas por outro lado mais frutuoso da edição, é colocar artigos muito díspares em diálogo, mas considera-se que tal foi atingido. Desta edição deriva ação e interação de um número significativo de investigadores e docentes de instituições de ensino superior e de unidades de investigação da lusofonia. Num espaço de discussão tão rico e variado, de análises e pesquisas tão diferenciadas, fica a pertinente pergunta se, nesta riqueza de identidades muito diversas, com múltiplos denominadores, haverá um que seja comum e permita afirmar que há também uma forma de pensar Arte em português.
