Authors: Almohareb Rahaf , Barakat Reem , Alshamsan Alhanouf , Almutairi Manal , Alfuraih Norah , Alsulaiman Sultana
Published: June 2021

Background:

Endodontic infection may persist despite root canal instrumentation. Thus, the use of intracanal medicaments plays an essential role in eliminating resistant bacteria like Enterococcus faecalis, known to be associated with persistent infections in endodontically treated teeth. Although calcium hydroxide is the gold standard intracanal medicament, it has been reported that Enterococcus faecalis is immune to its effects. Therefore, several studies assessed the efficacy of other intracanal medicaments, but none to date evaluated Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate.

Objectives:

This in-vitro randomized controlled study aimed to assess the antibacterial efficacy of Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate as an intracanal medicament against Enterococcus faecalis and compared it to calcium hydroxide.

Methods:

60 extracted single root canal permanent teeth were prepared and later divided into three equal groups according to the intracanal medicament used. Group 1: No intracanal medicament (negative control), Group 2: Calcium hydroxide paste, and Group 3: Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate paste. The intracanal medicaments were placed on the canals for 7 days. The outcome of this procedure was measured by counting colony-forming units. Statistical analysis was carried out using One-Way ANOVA and Tukey’s Post Hoc Test to determine significant differences between the groups.

Results:

The mean bacterial count for Group 2 was significantly lower than Group 1 and Group 3. Calcium hydroxide showed significantly more antibacterial efficacy against Enterococcus faecalis than Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and the negative control groups.

Conclusion:

Casein Phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate is ineffective in inhibiting Enterococcus faecalis growth compared to Calcium hydroxide.

Authors: Jia Songhao , Yang Cai , Chen Xing , Liu Yan , Li Fangfang
Published: June 2021

Background:

With the applications of wireless sensor network technology, threedimensional
node location technology is crucial. The process of node localization has some disadvantages,
such as the uneven distribution of anchor nodes and the high cost of the network. Therefore,
the mobile anchor nodes are introduced to effectively solve accurate positioning.

Objective:

Considering the estimated distance error, the received signal strength indication technology
is used to optimize the measurement of the distance. At the same time, dynamic stiffness planning
is introduced to increase virtual anchor nodes. The bird swarm algorithm is also used to solve
the optimal location problem of nodes.

Method:

Firstly, the dynamic path is introduced to increase the number of virtual anchor nodes. At
the same time, the improved RSSI distance measurement technology is introduced to the node localization.
Then, an intelligent three-dimensional node localization algorithm based on dynamic path
planning is proposed. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with similar algorithms through
simulation experiments.

Results:

Simulation results show that the node coordinates obtained by the proposed algorithm are
more accurate, and the node positioning accuracy is improved. The execution time and network
coverage of the algorithm are better than similar algorithms.

Conclusion:

The proposed algorithm significantly improves the accuracy of node positioning. However, the traffic of the algorithm is increased. A little increase in traffic in exchange for positioning accuracy is worthy of recognition. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is robust and can be implemented and promoted in the future.

Published: June 2021

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the color changes and lipid oxidation of ground chicken patties packaged in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film, high-oxygen (HiOx)–modified atmospheric packaging (MAP; 80% oxygen + 20% carbon dioxide [CO2]), and carbon monoxide (CO)-MAP (0.4% CO + 19.6% CO2 + 80% nitrogen) and stored at 2°C. Surface color was measured using a HunterLab MiniScan spectrophotometer on days 0, 1, 2, and 4. Lipid oxidation, pH, and aerobic plate count were determined on days 0 and 4 of storage. Fatty acid profiles were determined on day 0 to characterize saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Patties packaged in PVC had greater (P < 0.05) pH than HiOx-MAP and CO-MAP. Gas chromatography analysis indicated that ground chicken has 72.8% unsaturated fatty acids and 27.2% saturated fatty acids (based on total lipids and fatty acid methyl ester). The formation of carboxymyoglobin on ground chicken patty surface was confirmed by peaks at 420 and 570 nm, whereas oxymyoglobin had peaks at 410 and 580 nm. Instrumental color analysis indicated both HiOx-MAP and CO-MAP had greater (P < 0.05) redness (a* values) than PVC on day 4 of storage. Patties packaged in HiOx-MAP had greater (P < 0.05) chroma values than CO-MAP and PVC on day 4 of storage. Visual panelists noted less (P < 0.05) surface discoloration in CO-MAP than PVC and HiOx-MAP on day 4 of storage. Lipid oxidation was greater (P < 0.05) in PVC and HiOx-MAP than CO-MAP. CO inclusion at 0.4% level effectively inhibited lipid oxidation and stabilized surface redness during refrigerated storage of ground chicken.
Hypoxic Status Is Associated With The Intensity Of Hypoxia Inducible Factor (Hif)-1α Expression In A Premature Placenta
Authors: Edwin Kartini
Published: June 2021

Prematurity refers to live births before 37 weeks of gestation and associated with infant morbidity/mortality. Activation of HIF during the final pregnancy phase is believed to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of premature birth and other pregnancy disorders. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between hypoxicstatus and the intensity of HIF-1α expression in a premature placenta.Stored biological materials premature placenta (paraffin blocks) was used in this study. Thirtyone samples of placental hypoxia (H) and 28 samples of premature placental non-hypoxia (N) as controls, were selected non-random consecutively. Subsequently, immunohistochemistry was performed to analyze HIF-1α expression. TheChi-square testwas used to analyze the data and a p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Moderate to strong intensity of HIF-1α expressionwas observed in 58% of hypoxic placenta samples, whereas most of non-hypoxic placental samples(86%) did not expressed or expressed weaklyHIF-1α.There was a significant correlation between the intensity of HIF-1α expression and placental hypoxia (p <0.05) and Odds Ratio (OR) value was 8.31 with a 95% confidence interval (2.32-29.77). The conclusion shows that hypoxic status is associated with intensity of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α expression in a premature placenta.

Published: June 2021

We located ‘hidden’ S-character chirality in formally achiral glycine
using a vector-based interpretation of the total electronic charge
density distribution. We induced the formation of stereoisomers in
glycine by the application of an electric field. Control of chirality
was indicated from the proportionate response to a non-structurally
distorting electric field. The bond-flexing was determined to be a
measure of bond strain, which could be a factor of three lower or
higher, depending on the direction of the electric field, than in the
absence of the electric field. The bond-anharmonicity was found to be
approximately independent of the electric field. We also compared the
formally achiral glycine with the chiral molecules alanine and lactic
acid, quantifying the preferences for the S and R stereoisomers. The
proportional response of the chiral discrimination to the magnitude and
direction of the applied electric field indicated use of the chirality
discrimination as a molecular similarity measure.

Published: June 2021

Purpose: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has a positive effect
on the improvement of functional mitral regurgitation in patients with
heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. However geometric changes
in the mitral valve apparatus, subvalvular structures and their
contribution to the improvement of mitral regurgitation after CRT have
not been clearly defined. The aim of our study was to evaluate the
geometric parameters of mitral valve apparatus measured with
3Dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) before CRT
implantation and to determine the parameters predicting the improvement
of mitral regurgitation after CRT. Methods: In this prospective study
thirty patients with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation with low EF
heart failure planned for CRT implantation and had an indication for TEE
were included. Effective regurgitant orifice (ERO) and regurgitant
volume (RV) measurements were performed before CRT implantation.
Detailed quantitative measurements of mitral valve were done from
recorded images by 3D TEE. ERO, RV measurements were repeated to
evaluate mitral regurgitation at the end of 3rd month. Results: There
were no significant changes in left ventricular EF and left ventricular
diameters at third month follow-up, whereas ERO and RV values were
decreased. posterior leaflet angle was found higher in non-responder
group compared to responder group. (28,93 ± 8,41 vs 41,25 ± 10,90, p =
0,006). Conclusion: Heart failure patients with moderate or severe
functional mitral regurgitation who underwent CRT implantation were
found lower posterior leaflet angle which was measured by 3D TEE in the
patient group whose mitral regurgitation improved after CRT.

Published: June 2021

This double-blind, randomized, and controlled clinical trial evaluated the effect of sonic activation during the application of a desensitizing agent (DA) containing 5% potassium nitrate and 2% sodium fluoride on the occurrence of tooth sensitivity (TS) associated with in-office dental bleaching. Treatment with or without sonic activation of the DA was randomly assigned to one-half of the maxillary teeth of 34 patients in a split-mouth design. On the side without sonic activation (noSA), the DA was applied and maintained in contact with the teeth for 10 minutes. On the sonic activation side (SA), the DA was activated 30 seconds per tooth. The DA application was followed by application of 35% hydrogen peroxide in two bleaching sessions separated by a one-week interval. The primary outcome was the absolute risk of TS, recorded using a numeric rating scale and a visual analog scale. Color was evaluated with a digital spectrophotometer and a value-oriented shade guide. No significant difference between treatments was observed in the absolute risk of TS, which occurred in 93% (p=1.00) of both noSA and SA groups. The TS intensity was higher in the 24-hour interval after sessions, for both treatments, without differences between them. There was no difference in the color change for the treatments, with the average change in number of shade guide units of the Vita Classical scale of 6.35 for both (p=0.87). Sonic activation of DA containing 5% potassium nitrate and 2% sodium fluoride did not reduce the absolute risk and intensity of TS associated with in-office bleaching.

Published: June 2021

Objective:

To measure and compare the effect of operator experience in their ability to place composite in increments that are 2 mm thick.

Methods and Materials:

Fifteen volunteers from each class of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and senior dental students and 15 clinical faculty (total number of volunteers = 75) were asked to restore a Class I preparation that was 5 mm in diameter and 8 mm deep from the cusp tips using three increments of composite that were each to be 2 mm thick. Once completed, the models were sectioned, and the thickness of each increment was measured. A repeated-measures analysis of variance (pre-set α=0.05) was used to compare the mean increment thickness with respect to operator experience level and increment sequence number. In addition, the proportion of operators placing clinically acceptable increments (between 1.75 and 2.25 mm thick), as well as the proportions from each group who placed increments that either were thinner or thicker than this range, was determined using nonparametric analyses.

Results:

Overall, there was an increasing trend for groups with a higher experience level to provide mean incremental thickness values close to 2 mm. However, the likelihood of placing an increment that was thicker or thinner than the manufacturer-recommended thickness was not significantly different. Regardless of the increment value, only about one-third of the increments placed fell within the desired range of 1.75 to 2.25 mm.

Conclusions:

Operator experience had no overwhelming significant influence on the ability to place increments of composite that were between 1.75 and 2.25 mm thick. An operator has only about one chance out of three to place a composite increment within this clinically acceptable range when using no external measurement system.
PALACES IN VINNYTSIA REGION: PROBLEMS OF PRESERVATION AND INVOLVEMENT INTO MODERN CULTURAL LIFE
Authors: Roik Yurii
Published: June 2021

Nowadays the issue of preservation and actualization of historical and architectural heritage in Ukraine is acute. It is important not only to preserve some sights but also to promote their development and adaptation to modern requirements. The palaces of Vinnytsia region, which began to be actively built at the end of the 18th century, have significant potential in this process. Throughout their existence, many palaces had different owners, who were modifying the appearance of the buildings. During the nineteenth century, there was a variety of architectural styles, the dominant of which was classicism. In the process of political and socio-economic changes in society, palace complexes acquired a new meaning and functions. From the beginning of the twentieth century, palaces were used not for their original purpose, which caused their decline today. There are about forty venues of various degrees of preservation on the territory of the region. The irrational use of palaces remains a problem. The integration of historical and architectural landmarks into the life of society involves a comprehensive approach. An effective method to restore and preserve palaces is revitalization, which is to return lost functions or provide new ones to the venues.
POLYCULTURAL TRENDS OF UKRAINIAN ETHNO POP FOLK MUSIC OF THE 21st CENTURY
Authors: Samikova Nelli
Published: June 2021

The article highlights the actualization of the cultural and national identification issue in the contemporary world. According to scientists, the preservation of the cultural and national identification in the global environment is the most successful when a polycultural approach is implemented to intercultural communication. The aim of the article is to demonstrate, using a polycultural approach for analysis, how Ukrainian national culture is displayed and popularized through the musical content of the 21st century. Reactions of video bloggers from YouTube platform became a marker of the popularity of such a cultural product. Using the method of structural analysis, the selected music videos were considered at a verbal level (usage of folk songs lyrics), a visual level (filming the videos in Ukrainian locations, usage of elements of national life, national costumes, etc.) and at an intonational one (usage of national instruments, singing in a national style, etc.). Due to this, it has become possible to highlight polycultural markers in the music content itself and then track the reaction of foreign video bloggers to the polycultural combination of modern music trends with Ukrainian national elements. The presence of such video reactions confirms the demand for polycultural products, transferring it to the category of a trend – what is on time and what is of most interest to a mass consumer. This proves the relevance of further development of the polycultural approach, expanding the scope of its application, as well as the natural perception of polycultural mass consumption products.

This study sheds light on the terms discourse of power and power of discourse. The two concepts are closely intertwined and interdependent as manifested in the influence of power on discourse, on the selection of the linguistic means expressing that power. Such linguistic means of conveying power relations are cratologemes. Accordingly, the approach used to study cratologemes is thought to be linguocratological. From the perspective of the linguocratological approach discourse has become a vigorous resource of power. Therefore, language of discourse is of great interest an instrument of manipulation, which gives grounds to study it as an object, a process, and as a tool. During the process of investigation, the following research methods have been used: linguistic observation and analysis as well as cognitive method, pragmatic analysis method, critical discourse analysis method. These methods have allowed us to establish some of the cratologemes that are characteristic of judicial discourse.Such cratologemes have been singled out at different language levels: at the morphological level, at the lexical-semantic level, at the syntactic level.

MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LONGITUDINAL PARAMETERS OF THE MIDDLE CRANIAL FOSSA OF ADULTS DEPENDING ON EXTREME TYPE OF SKULLS STRUCTURE
Authors: Chekanova Iryna
Published: June 2021

Surgical accesses through the middle cranial fossa (MCF) and their variations require the surgeons a detailed understanding of a complex anatomy of this site of the inner base of the skull (IBS) and an individual anatomical variability of the anatomical landmarks often used in their medical practice. The aim of this study is to establish individual anatomical variability of the longitudinal dimensions of MCF of mature age human. The research was carried out by studying 50 craniotomograms and 50 bone preparations of mature age human skulls with their further subdivision to extreme types of skulls groups. The examinations of the main longitudinal parameters were done for detailed MCF craniometry, namely: MCF lateral cranial length, MCF general length, MCF medial areas length. It was determined that all longitudinal dimensions increase from brachicephales to dolichocephales. This is due to the fact that for brachicrans (round-headedness) short form of the skull is inherent, for dolichocrans (narrow-headedness) – long and for mesocrans (moderate-headedness) average head size is inherent. According to the received data, MCF longitudinal parameters of mature age human regardless of the extreme types of the skull structure have the tendency to increase from medial sections of the investigated area to lateral. The results of this study substantially complete the existing information about the individual anatomical variability of MCF of mature age human and also make it possible to deeply use this data in practical medicine and for further research in morphology and in craniology in details.
METHODS OF DEVELOPING INTEGRATED MODULAR AVIONICS SYSTEMS
Authors: Kovalenko Yuliia
Published: June 2021

The development of modern avionics systems makes the design of such systems impossible without the use of automation tools. Currently, the area of such tools is represented by patented tools developed by major aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus, as well as a number of open or partially open international projects, differing in terms of validity, availability of source code and documentation. All tools are based on architectural models of the developed system. This article discusses the languages available for describing architectural models of avionics systems and shows which programming language is most appropriate due to its textual notation and embedded concepts that are well suited to represent most of the elements of embedded systems. The article then presents a set of tools for designing modern avionics systems. The toolbox provides both a general platform for designing and analyzing architectural models and a specialized solution for a specific area of avionics systems. It supports creating, editing and manipulating models in both text and graphic formats.

In the aquatic environment, biocorrosion is an important factor affecting the reliability and durability of concrete structures. The destruction of cement concretes during biological corrosion is determined by the processes of mass transfer. The article presents the development of a calculated mathematical model of liquid corrosion in cement concrete, taking into account the biogenic factor. For the first time, a model of mass transfer in an unbounded two-layer plate is considered in the form of differential equations of parabolic type in partial derivatives with boundary conditions of the second kind at the interface between concrete and liquid and of the fourth kind at the interface between concrete and biofilm. The results of a numerical experiment are presented to study the influence of the coefficients of mass conductivity and mass transfer on the kinetics and dynamics of the process.
TEXT-FORMING FUNCTIONS OF THE NARRATIVE-ARTISTIC IMAGE “THE FRIEND OF THE HOUSE” AS A PERSONALIZED NARRATOR IN THE TEXTS OF CALENDAR STORIES BY J. P. HEBEL
Authors: NEBESNYUK ULYANA A.
Published: June 2021

The article focuses on the text-forming functions of the personalized narrator “The friend of the house” in the texts of J. P. Hebel's calendar stories. Applying the cross-cutting analysis of the practical material it has been determined that the auctorial narrator “The friend of the house” reflects a special historical path in the development of the “calendar story” (German: “Kalendergeschichte”) as part of a calendar. The personalized calendar figure of “The Rhenish friend of the house” (based on the image of the “lame messenger”) is characterized by the appearance of a typical German urban inhabitant of the 18th century, a locally determined polysemous name and a “heavenly” metaphorical image. In his “divine” purpose he yields to the prophet a bit and tells readers amazing everyday stories of a sentential nature. Sources of his stories are his personal observations, stories of anonymous or mentioned eyewitnesses, second or third parties (“The Rhenish brotherhood of the friend of the house”, the loyal helpers “the adjunct” and “the mother- in-law”) which also have a projection of the personal biography and the ambience of the writer - the author of the “calendar stories”...

Authors: Ordóñez Sánchez Sergio Gabriel
Published: June 2021

El desarrollo de tecnologías ha impactado en varios sectores de la vida humana. Por supuesto, el educativo no es la excepción. Desde el año 2009 a la fecha, el concepto de criptomoneda ha causado furor a nivel mundial, específicamente la bitcoin, que utiliza tecnología blockchain, un código abierto para operar sin una autoridad central o banco. Esta investigación tuvo por objetivo determinar el rezago que existe en los planes de estudio en las áreas de educación financiera, administrativa, contable y fiscal a nivel superior respecto a este tema. Bajo un método deductivo, se encuestó a una muestra de estudiantes de la Facultad de Contaduría Pública de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla con la finalidad de obtener datos que determinen el interés y las necesidades de los usuarios de bitcoin. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran un área de oportunidad contundente para atender este rezago, debido a que existen operaciones realizadas con esta criptomoneda sin la pedagogía básica de su funcionamiento. Como parte de las conclusiones se insta a la reestructuración de los programas de estudio tomando en cuenta la incorporación de conceptos relacionados con las criptomonedas, y así cumplir con la formación de profesionistas preparados para las exigencias del mercado actual.
THE WOUNDED SELF AND THE DISMEMBERED FLESH: ANTHROPOLOGICAL SENSE OF COMMUNICATION DYSFUNCTIONS
Authors: Тищенко Павел Дмитриевич
Published: June 2021

В статье анализируются коммуникативные дисфункции между пациентами, генетиками-консультантами и врачами в практиках медико-генетического консультирования. Несмотря на очевидную полезность генетических рекомендаций для консультируемого и членов его семьи, а также факт оплаты им услуги консультирования, он (консультируемый) этим рекомендациям часто не следует, подвергая и свою жизнь, и жизнь близких опасности. Как понять эту странность? В качестве виртуального участия в гибридном форуме, обсуждаются два казуса из практики генетического консультирования, которые, при существенном сходстве ситуации, отличаются друг от друга наличием или отсутствие доверия пациентов к научному знанию и экспертным суждениям генетика консультанта. В целях теоретического истолкования поставленной проблемы вводится предположение о самости как коммуникативной дисфункции, которая диагностируется в различных ценностных координатах либо как некомплаентность (noncomplience) в директивных моделях консультирования, либо как отказ от сотрудничества (nonadherence) в недирективных. Если же учесть, что в основе медицины как культурной практики лежит чувство солидарности перед лицом телесного страдания, то в этом плане странное, контрпродуктивное поведение пациента может указывать на наличие глубоких проблем в основах современной социальности. Предлагается формулировка нарративного императива.

The article analyzes communication dysfunctions between patients, consulting geneticists and doctors in the practice of medical genetic counseling. Despite the obvious usefulness of genetic advice for the counseled and their family members, as well as the fact that patients pay for counseling services, they (the counseled) often do not follow these recommendations, putting both their own lives and the lives of the loved ones at risk. How to understand this oddity? As a virtual participation in a hybrid forum, two cases from the practice of genetic counseling are discussed, which, with a significant similarity of the situation, differ from each other in the presence or absence of patient confidence in the scientific knowledge and expert judgments of the geneticist. In order to theoretically interpret the problem posed, an assumption is introduced about the self as a communication dysfunction, which is diagnosed in various value coordinates either as noncompliance in directive models of counseling, or as nonadherence in non-directive ones. If we consider that medicine as a cultural practice is based on a sense of solidarity in the face of bodily suffering, then, in this regard, the patient’s strange, counterproductive behavior may indicate the presence of deep problems in the foundations of modern sociality. The formulation of the narrative imperative is proposed.
Stereotip Karakter Perempuan dalam Buku Ajar untuk Sekolah Dasar: Kajian Multimodalitas

Myriads of studies about gender stereotypes in educational materials have been carried out by global scholars in recent years. One of the focus is in the textbook seems to be crucial due to its prominent role as guidance to curriculum and teachers’ credence on the contents. A textbook actually has two important role as vehicle of knowledge transfer and of social practices paradigm construction. However, little studies have reported on the representation of female characters stereotypes in the context of elementary school language textbook. Following multimodality framework proposed by Van Leuween (2008), verbal and visual texts in two English language textbooks published by private companies in Indonesia were analysed in respect to gender stereotyped. The findings reveal the existence of stereotypes of female character on personality, hobby and interest, occupation, and social roles. The study suggests textbook makers (authors and publishers) and users (parents, teachers, and education stakeholders) to rise critical gender awareness.
Perbandingan Konsep Linguistik Ferdinand De Saussure dan Abdul Qāhir al-Jurjānī: Kajian Konseptual
Authors: Hamzah Mukhotob
Published: June 2021

Previous scholars in linguistics study have focused only on theory proposed by European linguists, one of them is Ferdinand De Saussure from Swiss. However, long before Saussure’s concept has been popularized, in the fourth century Arab world has already had concept of linguistics initiated by Abdul Qāhir al-Jurjāni. Embarked upon a study on language construction of Al-Qur'an, he extended the concept to general context including Arabic literature. This current study compared Al-Jurjāni and Saussure theoretical concepts by employing library research. The main sources were taken from Dalailul i'jaz authored by Al-Jurjāni and Course in Gerenal Linguistics written by Charles Bally and Albert Sechehay taken from their notes in Saussure’s college class. The findings reveal the sameness of linguistics concept between Saussure and Al- Jurjāni namely langue-parole vs Lughah-Kalam, Significant-Signifier vs lafal-makna, and Syntagmatic-Paradigmatic vs an-nadzm- al-Ikhtiār.

Introduction

Selon les nouvelles Directives canadiennes en matière de mouvement sur 24 heures à l’intention des adultes, les adultes devraient pratiquer plusieurs heures d’activité physique légère chaque jour, faire 150 minutes d’activité physique d’intensité moyenne à élevée (APIME) par semaine, dont des activités de renforcement musculaire au moins deux fois par semaine, limiter les heures de sédentarité à 8 heures par jour et le temps de loisir passé devant un écran à 3 heures par jour et enfin dormir de 7 à 9 heures par nuit. Cette étude a pour but d’analyser le respect de ces directives par les étudiants de niveau postsecondaire et ses associations avec la santé mentale et les caractéristiques sociodémographiques des répondants.

Méthodes

Les données analysées proviennent d’un échantillon de 20 090 étudiants de niveau postsecondaire au Canada ayant participé à l’enquête Bien-être sur les campus canadiens (BECC) réalisée en 2019-2020. Nous avons calculé le pourcentage d’étudiants respectant les directives portant sur l’activité physique, la sédentarité, le temps de loisir passé devant un écran et le sommeil. Nous avons estimé, à l’aide d’une régression logistique, les associations entre le respect de ces directives, les caractéristiques sociodémographiques des répondants et leur santé mentale.

Résultats

Au moment où l’enquête a été réalisée, seuls 9,9 % des étudiants (10,4 % des femmes et 9,2 % des hommes) respectaient quatre volets des Directives canadiennes en matière de mouvement sur 24 heures. Les directives les mieux respectées étaient celles concernant l’APIME (61,1 %) et le sommeil (59,7 %). En revanche, les directives relatives aux périodes de sédentarité et au temps passé devant un écran étaient moins suivies (respectivement 56,3 % et 36,2 %). Les caractéristiques sociodémographiques associées à un plus grand respect des directives étaient les suivantes : être une femme, être plus âgé, se considérer comme d’origine ethnique blanche et avoir un statut socioéconomique élevé. Les étudiants ayant déclaré éprouver un bien-être psychologique élevé avaient une probabilité supérieure de satisfaire aux critères énoncés dans les directives.

Conclusion

Peu d’étudiants de niveau postsecondaire respectent les nouvelles directives au Canada. L’enquête BECC permet un suivi de la diffusion et de la mise en oeuvre des nouvelles Directives canadiennes en matière de mouvement sur 24 heures à l’intention des adultes.
