BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a serious toll on people with dementia. Given the rapidly evolving COVID-19 context, policymakers and practitioners require timely, evidence-informed research to address the changing needs and challenges of people with dementia and their family care partners.

OBJECTIVE

Using Twitter data, the objective of this study was to examine the COVID-19 impact on people with dementia from the perspective of their family members and friends.

METHODS

Using the Twint application in Python, we collected 6243 relevant tweets over a 15-month time frame. The tweets were divided among 11 coders and analyzed using a 6-step thematic analysis process.

RESULTS

Based on our analysis, 3 main themes were identified: (1) frustration and structural inequities (eg, denied dignity and inadequate supports), (2) despair due to loss (eg, isolation, decline, and death), and (3) resiliency, survival, and hope for the future.

CONCLUSIONS

As the COVID-19 pandemic persists and new variants emerge, people with dementia and their family care partners are facing complex challenges that require timely interventions. More specifically, tackling COVID-19 challenges requires revisiting pandemic policies and protocols to ensure equitable access to health and support services, recognizing the essential role of family care partners, and providing financial assistance and resources to help support people with dementia in the pandemic. Revaluating COVID-19 policies is critical to mitigating the pandemic’s impact on people with dementia and their family care partners.

Published: April 2022

The malacofauna of the Sabinas River, Don Martin basin, Coahuila, North Mexico, was studied conchologically at nine sites. In total, 23 species of freshwater molluscs, of which 21 are native and two invasive, were found. Nineteen species are gastropods and four species bivalves. One genus and two species of subterranean (interstitial) gastropods are endemic to the area and with Lyogyrus sp. we reported for the first time a member of the family Amnicolidae in Mexico. Mexithauma quadripaludium Taylor, 1966, and Juturnia coahuilae (Taylor, 1966) (Cochliopidae), previously known only as endemics from the neighboring Cuatro Ciénegas basin, were found for the first time living out of this basin.
Geometric morphometric comparison of the oral jaw and lower pharyngeal jaw of the closely-related cichlid, Vieja bifasciata, V. breidohri and V. hartwegi (Cichliformes: Cichlidae)
Authors: González-Díaz Alfonso A. , Ramírez-Moreno Karem F. , Matamoros Wilfredo A. , Soria-Barreto Miriam , Rodiles-Hernández Rocío
Published: April 2022

Systematics of the genus Vieja is complex, with many morphologically similar species that have little genetic differentiation. Examination of additional morphological traits can be useful for clarifying their taxonomic status and evolutionary history. We analyzed morphological variation of bones in the oral jaw and lower pharyngeal jaw to determine if these structures permit delimitation of species and to study possible functional implications. Morphological differences were quantified from canonical variates analysis, MANOVA, and paired comparisons. Differences in the number of pharyngeal teeth in the lower pharyngeal jaw were determined using an ANCOVA. The shape of the premaxilla and lower pharyngeal jaw are best for differentiating between these closely related-species. Although the morphological variation between V. breidohri and V. hartwegi were most similar, the shape of the lower pharyngeal jaw contrasts in morphospace. Vieja bifasciata possesses more teeth in the lower pharyngeal jaw. Variation in this bones may effect jaw biomechanics. Morphological differences are in contrast with the little genetic differentiation observed. The geographic isolation of V. bifasciata is likely related to its morphological differentiation. The common ancestry of V. breidohri and V. hartwegi probably explains their small morphological divergence.
Effect of host and environment related factors on the distribution of the ectoparasites of the montane grass mouse Akodon montensis (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in northeastern Argentina
Authors: Urdapilleta Mara , Galliari Carlos A. , Navarro-Febre Tomás , Lareschi Marcela
Published: April 2022

Akodon montensis is dominant in the Urugua-í Provincial Park in northeastern Argentina. We analyse the effect of variables related to the hosts and the environment on the parasitic burden (PB), and specific richness and mean abundance of Laelapidae mites (Mesostigmata) (SL, MAL). PB, SL and MAL were used with the logarithm transformed data in the analysis. One-way ANOVA was used to test differences between rodents of different sex in an exploratory analysis, and the Levene test was then used to confirm the homogeneity of variances. Using the same technique, differences in these parameters were tested between the states of sexual maturity. To test the effect of trapped site and its interaction with the sex of the rodent on MAL and SL, a two-way ANOVA was performed. The PAST software was used. The results support that the sex of the host would be the main factor that modulates PB and MAL, but not SL. The size and weight of the hosts (as a proxy for age), the reproductive stage and site of capture of the rodents, would not affect any of the variables analysed. The results obtained contribute to the comprehension of the epidemiological role of laelapids.

Published: April 2022

Abstract: In India majority of roads are being constructed by flexible pavements. But the performance of the pavement largely depends on quality of materials used, Equipment’s used, construction methodology adopted, temperature and climatic conditions at the area etc. Because of these variations in the mentioned parameters, pavements undergo distress/ failure. The different types of failure in flexible pavement are Rutting, Shovelling, Edge breaks, Cracks, Slippage etc. Rutting is a common phenomenon which occurs in flexible pavement surface due to overloading of vehicles and repeated application of wheel load. Design of bituminous paving mixes greatly effects the performance of pavements. In the present laboratory research work, Bitumen grade VG-30 & VG-40 are used in wearing/ surface course and VG-30 is used in binder course of the layer to study the properties of Marshall Stability. An indigenously developed equipment called Roller Compactor cum Rut analyser (RCRA) is used to study the performance of these bituminous mixes against Rutting. Keywords: Job Mix Formula (JMF). Marshal Method, Bituminous Concrete (BC), Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) Roller Compactor cum Rut Analyser (RCRA).

Risk sensitivity mediates the relationship between construal level and ethical decision making
Authors: Zang Zhi , Zheng Qingyue , Luo Lingna
Published: April 2022

Although researchers have proposed that construal level has a substantive impact on decision making in ethical scenarios, the internal mechanism underlying this relationship is yet to be fully explored. Drawing on construal level theory and risk sensitivity theory, we conducted two
ethical dilemma experiments to test the mediating role of risk sensitivity in the relationship between construal level and ethical decision making. In Study 1 we found that individuals with a high (vs. low) construal level were more likely to intend to behave ethically. In Study 2 we tested
the mediating effect of risk sensitivity in this relationship. Individuals with a high (vs. low) construal level demonstrated lower risk preference and were sensitive to the change in level of risk, which resulted in decisions for behaviors that were more ethical. Conversely, individuals with
a low construal level focused more on short-term interests and showed insensitivity to risk level, resulting in self-interested and unethical decisions. The practical and theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.
Homestay customers' perceived value mediates the influence of customer participation and host–customer interaction on customer satisfaction
Authors: Lu Mengyuan , Yi Baozhong
Published: April 2022

With the rapid development of homestay accommodation, it is urgent to study the mechanism of satisfaction of guests as customers. We used value cocreation theory to explore customer participation and host–customer interaction as antecedents of customer perceived value, and how
this then influenced their satisfaction. We analyzed data from 344 homestay guests using partial least squares regression and bootstrapping analysis. The results show that customer participation and host–customer interaction affected customers' perception of the functional, emotional,
and social value of the homestay experience. Furthermore, perceived functional, emotional, and social value mediated the relationships of customer participation, host–customer interaction, and customer satisfaction. Our results have implications for the improvement of customer satisfaction.

Authors: Liu Chunnian , Yao Xiaoying , Zheng Yan , Zhu Yingfei , Cao Dayu
Published: April 2022

We explored the relationships of food safety information, information on organic foods, and Chinese consumers' purchase intention, with value orientations proposed as a mediator. The research model was based on the stimulus–organism–response theoretical model and regulatory
focus theory. Data were collected using a structured survey with 206 consumers of organic foods. We employed structural equation modelling for data analysis. The results show that information on organic food and information on food safety were significantly associated with environmental value
orientation. Organic food information was significantly associated with both health value orientation and hedonic value orientation. In addition, information on food safety, information on organic food, environmental orientation, and hedonic orientation were all significantly associated with
purchase intention. Moreover, both environmental orientation and hedonic orientation exerted mediating effects in the relationships between organic food information and consumers' purchase intention. The results provide novel and valuable insights for understanding organic consumption and
offer guidance for the development and promotion of China's organic food industry.

The paper examines the role of the national projects in the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation and evaluates the effectiveness of their implementation. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the national projects on the labor market through the stated target indicators. The logical correlation between the target indicators of the national projects and development indicators was built on the passports of the national projects. As the study showed, at present there is no clear trend toward the impact of allocated funds within the framework of the National Projects on the labor market and economic indicators of the country as a whole. To correct the current situation, it is necessary to adjust the target indicators and develop a system for monitoring the National Projects.

The article is devoted to the sociological understanding of the new loneliness, which became actual during the pandemic and became one of the factors affecting the social well-being of Russian society in the context of the introduction of a number of restrictive measures. New loneliness is associated with a sense of loss of social ties and relationships, as well as discrimination against various groups of the population in many socially significant areas of life in a pandemic. In order to overcome the new loneliness and improve the social well-being of Russian society during the period of the introduction of restrictive measures, it is necessary to further develop and spread the institution of volunteering, as well as develop mechanisms that introduce elements of social solidarity in society.

From the Commentary to Ellis’ Book of Poems and Translations ‘The Cross and the Lyre’. II. Medieval Latin Epigraphs
Authors: Poljakov Fedor B.
Published: April 2022

The essay examines Latin sequentiae and other texts on the border of literature and liturgy that appear in the original as epigraphs in works of the poet and translator Ellis (Lev Lvovich Kobylinsky, 1879 –1947) including his third book of poems and translations Krest i Lira (“The Cross and the Lyre”), compiled in Locarno in 1938. The identification of these texts allows us to map out with precision the range of his work with medieval Western European themes and to explore the role of Latin liturgy in the creation of his conception of the interpenetration of Eastern and Western Christian traditions. Thе evidence also shed additional light upon the poetics of the adaptation of Catholic culture in Russian Symbolism (especially in works of Vyacheslav Ivanov).
Russian Folklore on the Hills of Manchuria. Research, Texts, Commentary
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Klyaus Vladimir L.
Published: April 2022

The book Russian Folklore on the Hills of Manchuria is the result of many years of field research by the author aimed at recording and studying the folklore of Chinese Russians living in the urban district of Ergun, Hulunbuir aimag, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, located on the border with the Trans-Baikal region of the Russian Federation. The older generation of Chinese-Russian “mestizos” preserved the language and folk repertoire of their Russian mothers and grandmothers who came to China after the Civil War (1918-1922) and before the era of rapid socio-political and economic change in the USSR. Russian Folklore on the Hills of Manchuria presents tales, mythological stories, legends, songs, charms and “chastushki” of the Chinese Russians in Manchuria for the first time. This is the most complete collection of their folklore, which for almost a century has existed in isolation from the maternal tradition of Eastern Transbaikal. Developing independently and assimilating foreign ethnic elements, this tradition has nevertheless preserved genre forms characteristic of the oral literature of Russian inhabitants of the Transbaikal Region of the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. The book is intended for folklorists, linguists, ethnologists, ethno-musicologists, culturologists, and researchers of the Russian-Chinese borderlands.
Deep Linear and Nonlinear Data Representation for Semi-supervised Learning
Authors: Dornaika Fadi
Published: April 2022

Data representation has received much attention in the fields of machine
learning and pattern recognition. It is becoming an indispensable tool
for many learning tasks. It can be useful for all learning paradigms:
unsupervised, semi-supervised, and supervised. In this paper, we present
a graph-based, deep and flexible data representation method using
feature propagation as an internal filtering step. The presented
framework ensures several desired features such as a graph-based
regularization, a flexible projection model, a graph-based feature
aggregation, and a deep learning architecture. The model can be learned
layer by layer. In each layer, the nonlinear data representation and the
unknown linear model are jointly estimated with a closed form solution.
We evaluate the proposed method on semi-supervised classification tasks
using six public image datasets. These experiments demonstrate the
effectiveness of the presented scheme, which compares favorably to many
competing semi-supervised approaches.

Common Whitethroats Curruca communis show a continuum of residency duration but a high degree of between-years site fidelity at non-breeding grounds in Nigeria
Authors: Tapia-Harris Claudia , Cresswell Will
Published: April 2022

The non-breeding period represents a significant part of an
Afro-Palearctic migratory bird’s annual cycle. Decisions such as whether
to remain at a single site and whether to return to it across years have
important effects on aspects such as survival, future breeding success,
migratory connectivity, and conservation. During this study, we
colour-ringed > 300 Common Whitethroats Curruca communis
and undertook daily resightings to understand site persistence and the
degree of site fidelity throughout three non-breeding periods (November
– April) in Nigeria. The probability of detecting a colour-ringed
Whitethroat when it was present, was 0.33. Site persistence varied
widely across individuals (1 – 165 days) and did not differ
significantly with sex or year, though first-year birds remained for
significantly shorter periods than adults. We believe that shorter
residencies are likely due to the use of multiple stationary
non-breeding sites rather than low winter survival. A minimum of 19% of
individuals returned to the study site the following year and shifted,
on average, 300 meters, suggesting that Whitethroats have a relatively
high degree of between-years site fidelity at a very fine scale. An
individual’s previous residency duration did not seem to determine its
residency duration the following year. We suggest that spatial fidelity
is high and constant through years, but temporal fidelity is not, and
individual residency patterns vary, probably according to yearly and
seasonal conditions. Our results highlight the complexity of the annual
cycle of a single species and the importance of carrying out in situ,
small scale research throughout a migrant’s annual cycle over several
years.
A Gestalt Approach to the Treatment of Gambling
Authors: SHUB NORMAN F.
Published: April 2022

Gambling is a serious and growing problem. Standard treatment programs commonly address symptoms, but their recidivism rate is nearly 80 percent. My colleagues and I believe that compulsive or addictive gambling is a manifestation of a character disorder marked by the gambler's failure to get physical and emotional needs met and by a lack of behavioral options. We believe that Gestalt therapy in a familial setting can successfully treat gamblers. Gestalt therapy forces gamblers to see their character picture and their behavior's effect on others and to develop more options for operating in the world.
Corporate Transparency and Externally Financed Firm Growth
Authors: Huang Shawn X. , Pereira Raynolde , Wang Changjiang
Published: April 2022

Employing a comprehensive measure of country-level corporate transparency, we document a positive relation between corporate transparency and externally financed firm growth. This relation is robust to controlling for variables related to the quality of a country's legal institutions and the overall level of financial development. We also show that the level of external financing in the form of long-term debt is higher among firms in countries with greater corporate transparency. Further cross-sectional tests reveal that the role of corporate transparency in firm growth and external financing is less pronounced among bank-oriented countries as compared to market-oriented countries. In sum, our evidence highlights the positive impact of corporate transparency on economic growth through its impact on firm access to low-cost external financing.

El objetivo del trabajo realizado fue validar la oferta tecnológica reciente sobre la producción acuícola usando piscinas circulares construidas en materiales sintéticos derivados del petróleo altamente impermeable denominadas geomembranas, en los cuales hipotéticamente se pueden intensificar el cultivo de mojarra. Se establecieron 3 estanques circulares de geomembranas con 7 metros de diámetro y 1,2 m de altura, a los cuales se les dotó de diferentes grados de tecnología ofertada en el mercado así: Estanque 1: con sistema de recirculación de agua a través de un cono sedimentador, filtro de arena, luz ultravioleta, sedimentación, biofiltros, aireación por caída a tanques auxiliares y aplicación de oxígeno producido por una planta generadora de O2, mezclado en un difusor. Estanque 2: con aireación mediante la utilización de un blower de 1 Hp, inyectado con una manguera difusora porosa + recambio de agua del fondo del estanque. Estanque 3: aireación con un venturi artesanal y recambio de agua del fondo del estanque. Se establecieron 50 peces iniciales por m3 en cada uno de los estanques y se evaluaron sus rendimientos en cada fase. Las variables respuesta de cada uno de los sistemas fueron: peso de la biomasa, consumo de alimento, conversión alimenticia y porcentaje de supervivencia. Los resultados mostraron que en los 3 sistemas la producción es viable técnica y económicamente cultivar la tilapia hasta los 235 gramos, esto debido al incremento de las dificultades técnicas para el manejo de las características fisicoquímicas del agua por la mayor demanda de oxígeno que a su vez se empeora con la elevación de amonio NH3 y ácido carbónico H2CO3, proveniente del metabolismo de la misma biomasa
CULTIVO DE LARVA DE MOSCA PARA SU USO COMO FUENTE DE PROTEÍNA PARA ALIMENTACIÓN ANIMAL
Authors: Olivar Barreto Jorge Mario , Pinzon Ricardo , Moreno Yoly Dayana
Published: April 2022

El presente proyecto busca la utilización de residuos como la porquinaza, la gallinaza y el excremento bovino como sustrato para la producción de larva de mosca doméstica con alto valor nutricional, que pueda ser empleada como proteína en la formulación de raciones para la alimentación de pollos de engorde o en piscicultura. En tal sentido, se diseñó módulos para el cultivo de larva de mosca elaborados a partir de madera aglomerada, en los cuales fueron probados tres sustratos: porquinaza, gallinaza y excremento bovino, de los cuales solo de la porquinaza se obtuvo larva de forma considerable, con una producción promedio de 800 g diarios por un total de 5 días antes de cambiar nuevamente el sustrato. La producción promedio semanal fue de 4000 g, teniendo en cuenta que la producción inicia el segundo día de la siembra. Las larvas obtenidas fueron deshidratadas a 70 °C durante 3 días, para evaluar su valor nutricional, hasta que la humedad de cada muestra fuera igual o menor a 9 %; posteriormente, fueron molidas. Para evaluar los valores nutricionales se realizó un análisis físico-químico de las muestras: el contenido de proteína se determinó por el método de Kjeldahl (AOAC Official Method) y el contenido de grasa (Extracto etéreo) por el método Soxhlet (NTC 668: 1973). Los resultados obtenidos en las pruebas de laboratorio mostraron que la larva deshidratada presenta un alto contenido de proteína, el cual se encuentra en torno al 66 %; con respecto a la grasa, el valor encontrado fue de 21 %. Estos resultados avalan el uso de la larva de mosca como fuente de proteína y grasa en la formulación de raciones. También fueron realizados análisis microbiológicos que mostraron que la harina de larva presentaba ausencia de coliformes fecales y un valor de mesófilos aerobios dentro de los valores aceptables para su uso en alimentación animal. La siguiente etapa de este experimento será la formulación de concentrados y su evaluación en la ganancia de peso en pollos de engorde

En la actualidad la sobrepoblación mundial, el asentamiento acelerado de las poblaciones y los altos costos de la vivienda han generado un mayor déficit de vivienda, sumado esto al constante crecimiento del sector de la construcción y la mayor afectación de los recursos naturales en la explotación de los materiales convencionales (cemento, arena, metales, entre otros relacionados); por lo anterior, se muestra una oportunidad no solo productiva sino ambiental y social de generar e implementar nuevos materiales para el uso de sistemas constructivos sostenibles. Como respuesta a lo anterior, a continuación se tomó el estudio de caso de la guadua utilizada en un sistema mobiliario de vivienda sostenible, ya que, según las investigaciones, es un material que se da en nuestra región colombiana con características excepcionales para diferentes usos y que su industrialización se encuentra en crecimiento en nuestro país, lo cual, se pensaría, podría impulsar una mayor oferta de la misma con beneficios ambientales, económicos y sociales.

EXISTENCIALISMO E MARXISMO NA OBRA DE PAULO FREIRE: “Pedagogia do Oprimido” em análise
Authors: Silva Nunes Klivia de Cássia , Bezerra Neto Luiz , Moreira Rezende Valéria
Published: April 2022

Este artigo apresenta uma análise da Obra Pedagogia do Oprimido de Paulo Freire e sua relação com as correntes existencialista e marxista. Para tanto, destaca-se o percurso das principais ideias de Freire sustentadas pelo existencialismo cristão, bem como suas contribuições para uma pedagogia libertadora com base na formação política, ética e humana. Freire deixou um legado para todos os educadores no livro que é atual, pois ainda vivemos sob opressão, principalmente em tempos pandêmicos com a falta de políticas sérias para todos os setores, em especial para a saúde e a educação. Deste modo, o artigo foi dividido em duas partes, sendo que a primeira expõe as concepções teóricas sobre o existencialismo e o marxismo e a segunda parte demonstra o caminho do pensamento de Freire frente a estas duas correntes. Desta explanação surge a questão norteadora do presente estudo: Qual a matriz teórica que sustenta a obra da Pedagogia do Oprimido e qual a relevância do marxismo nesta obra? Para responder a esta pergunta, procuramos sustentar nossas análises no estudo bibliográfico, tendo como principais interlocutores Lukács (1979), Schaff (1965), Freire (2005) e Saviani (2013). Ressalta-se que este trabalho é um ensaio teórico que tem como preocupação trazer para o centro da discussão os elementos principais da obra freiriana, com o objetivo de facilitar a compreensão do percurso de seu pensamento, cuja genialidade é reconhecida mundialmente. Sua obra é considerada um clássico para quem se propõe a estudar a formação humana.

NOVEL AND REFIGURING LIFE
Authors: Setyadi Wawan
Published: April 2022

This article explores the confluence between novel and the life of its reader in two phases. Firstly, this article examines the theory of mimesis of Paul Ricur in Time and Narrative I to arrive at the importance of the reading act where the reader does his own appropriation of the novel read. The novel itself is a creative composition based on the daily human actions. Secondly, this article deciphers the work of Milan Kundera, especially his concept of existential code, found in the novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being and sharpened by his concept of writing novels in The Art of the Novel. This second phase gives another articulation of the first phase, which is more philosophically theoretical. Based on these two phases of exploration, this article uncovers the refigured man who comes to understand both himself and the world he lives in better and who has new different propositions and possibilities to live better as well.DOI:10.24071/ijhs.2019.020201
