Authors: Maziyya Nur , Rahayuwati Laili , Yamin Ahmad
Published: December 2018

Background: Cancer is one of chronic diseases that require long-term care. Family as the closest one who lives with the cancer patient takes a leading role in providing care. It causes some impacts that possible happen to family caregiver (FCs) such as feeling burden and decreasing quality of life (QoL). Purpose: This literature review was conducted to describe findings from studies concerning QoL of FCs of cancer patients. Methods: This review used scoping review methods. Electronic literature searching was conducted using databases: Proquest, PubMed, Google scholar and Science Direct using keywords quality of life, family caregiver and cancer patient/terminal patient/terminally ill patient. Inclusion criteria were: research papers, focus on caregiver of cancer patient, peer-reviewed, and published between 2008-2018. Exclusion criteria was non-English papers and papers that discuss other than caregiver of cancer patients. There were a total of 45 papers retrieved; however, only 13 papers met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Analysis was conducted using content analyses. Findings: Research about QoL of FCs of cancer patient have been done in some countries and used some different methodes. They showed that the primary FCs of cancer patient were spouses and had low QoL. Factors that associated with FCs’ QoL such as patients’ age and condition, spousal relationship, FCs’ religiousness, emotional distress, carigiving burden, lack of social support and satisfaction with care. Conclusions And Recommendations: FCs of cancer patients had low quality of life and caused by many factors. Further studies required to determine other factors from patients, FCs and environment that influence the FCs’ QoL.

Published: December 2018

Nurses need compassion when providing health services. Compassion felt by nurses can be Compassion Satisfaction (positive aspects) and Compassion Fatigue (negative aspects), and may affect nursing care and Nurses’ Professional Quality of Life. The tendency to negative aspects will be felt by the nurses themselves, patients and hospitals. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of life of professionals (Professional Quality of Life) nurses in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Room (ER) of the Kota Bandung Hospital. This research was a quantitative descriptive study. Involving 62 nurses from ICU and ER through total sampling technique with a response rate of 97%. Data was collected using Professional Quality of Life (ProQol) version 5 then analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results showed that 20.97% had a positive Professional Quality of Life according to the Stamm combination interpretation while outside of Stamm's interpretation, 32.26% tended to be positive. According to the results of the average score of each sub-variable, Compassion Satisfaction was in the medium category. The highest average score of compassion satisfaction was ICU nurses, the highest secondary traumatic stress was PICU/NICU nurses and the highest average score of burnout was emergency nurses. Hospitals need to conduct regular reviews of nurse Professional Quality of Life and conduct counseling programs for nurses who have ProQol towards negative and risky aspects.

Sonuç olarak; geleneksel besiciler iyi besi yaptıklarını iddia etseler de hayvanların besin ihtiyaçlarını yeterince karşılayamadıkları, tokluların konsantre yeme alıştırma süresinin çok uzun olmasından dolayı istenilen besi performansına ulaşmak için gerekli olan besi süresinin artırılmasının gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Entansif grubun diğer gruplara göre daha iyi performans gösterdiği belirlenmiştir.
Análise temporal da implementação do cadastro ambiental rural nos assentamentos rurais do estado de Mato Grosso
Authors: De Oliveira Ana Luisa Araujo , Silgueiro Vinicius de Freitas , Butturi Weslei
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de realizar uma análise temporal da implementação do CAR dos assentamentos no estado de Mato Grosso, contemplando o histórico, os avanços e os desafios a serem superados atualmente. Os resultados evidenciam que ao longo do tempo, os entraves para a implementação desse instrumento foram de ordem jurídica e técnica, sendo que muitos esforços foram feitos ao longo de 2017 e 2018 para a construção de soluções que comtemplem a regularização ambiental dos assentamentos. Entre os avanços, destaca-se que o impasse jurídico em relação aos diferentes entendimentos de artigos do Código Florestal foi resolvido, contribuições técnicas para a criação de uma interface para os assentamentos no Sistema Mato-grossense de Cadastro Ambiental Rural (Simcar) foram entregues à Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente de Mato Grosso (Sema/MT) e ao Ministério Público Federal (MPF), assim como foi assinado um Acordo de Cooperação Técnica (ACT) entre a Sema e o Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (Incra) cujo objeto é justamente a regularização ambiental dos assentamentos. Sobretudo, há a necessidade de uma tomada de decisão da Sema/MT e plano de trabalho claro para implementação das customizações necessárias ao Simcar. Somente após isso, os órgãos fundiários e assentados poderão cumprir com as responsabilidades atribuídas pelo Código Florestal para a regularização ambiental dos assentamentos rurais. Caso essa decisão não seja tomada, a situação de irregularidade ambiental dos assentamentos rurais pode ficar ainda mais delicada, uma vez que o prazo para a inscrição no CAR é 31 de dezembro de 2018.

Authors: Bozzo Isabela Tambarussi , De Figueiredo Rodolfo Antônio
Published: December 2018

A insustentabilidade da agricultura moderna convencional aponta para a necessidade de criar alternativas sociais e ecológicas que a superem. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar o processo de aprendizagem, junto a assentados(as) rurais, gerado através de uma ação extensionista de caráter participativo, baseada na transmissão dos princípios de Sistemas Agroflorestais, com o intuito de dialogar sobre sua importância no equilíbrio, resiliência e diversificação na produtividade dos agroecossistemas. Através do mapeamento do local, foram levantadas as dificuldades e a partir da análise das informações obtidas foi possível concluir que todas elas se relacionam intimamente, pois são aspectos que necessitam estar em construção conjunta para o desenvolvimento de uma produção agroecológica. Através das vivências, observamos as potencialidades de aprendizado e que as limitações não são locais, mas elas estão presentes em diversas comunidades produtoras de alimentos agroecológicos, em diferentes níveis. Percebemos a questão do reconhecimento e fortalecimento do coletivo o principal eixo a ser trabalhado no local.

Published: December 2018

A preocupação com o desenvolvimento sustentável tem sido intensificada e se torna necessário buscar alternativas de produção baseadas na preservação dos recursos naturais, no cuidado com a saúde e na competitividade do pequeno agricultor. Com o objetivo de identificar as vantagens da produção orgânica para a agricultura familiar e os benefícios para o meio ambiente, foram formuladas as seguintes questões: quais as vantagens da produção orgânica como estratégia sustentável competitiva para a agricultura familiar e os benefícios da agricultura orgânica para o meio ambiente? Além disso, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivos específicos verificar as dificuldades encontradas pela agricultura familiar na produção de orgânicos, identificar as exigências para produção de orgânicos e pesquisar alternativas de fortalecimento para o agricultor familiar na produção de orgânicos.  Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o conceito de produtos orgânicos, sua evolução e certificação. Além disso, foi pesquisada a relação entre a agricultura orgânica, a sustentabilidade e a agricultura familiar, bem como o comportamento do consumidor orgânico. Dentre os resultados, estão os benefícios proporcionados pelo fato dos produtos orgânicos possuírem maior valor comercial em relação ao convencional, serem saudáveis e de elevado valor nutricional, o que gera vantagem competitiva frente aos produtos da agricultura convencional, além de contribuírem para a preservação dos recursos naturais, pois são isentos de agrotóxicos e, assim, contribuem para saúde do homem, dos animais e do meio ambiente. Dentre as dificuldades encontradas pelo agricultor familiar na produção de orgânicos, encontram-se as dificuldades financeiras no processo de conversão da agricultura convencional para a orgânica e acesso ao crédito; quanto às principais exigências, existe a necessidade de serem produzidos sem o uso de agrotóxicos e de certificação para a comercialização; e já com relação às alternativas de fortalecimento do agricultor familiar na produção de orgânicos, estão a criação de associações ou cooperativas e de marcas próprias.
Writing on Self, Writing on the Other: Literary Journalism as Theoretical Parameter for the Biographical Genres
Authors: Borges Rogério Pereira
Published: December 2018

This text proposes a theoretical approach of the biographical genres from the field of Literary journalism, having in perspective the discursive possibilities involved in this narrative construction. The “writing of oneself” and the “writing of the other” pass through frontiers of discourse in which Literary journalism, as it has been conceived in the contemporary world, also moves. To improve this debate, we bring the knowledge of Narrative and New History theories, in which there is an intense discussion about the work that unites objective data of reality and the capacity to elaborate a discourse that deepens in subjectivities. Our central argument is that Literary journalism, when articulated with biographical texts, can contribute to the theorizing and production of works of these genres.Este texto propõe uma abordagem teórica dos gêneros biográficos a partir do campo do jornalismo literário, tendo em perspectivas as possibilidades discursivas envolvidas nessa construção narrativa. A escrita de si e a escrita do outro transitam por fronteiras do discurso em que o jornalismo literário, tal como tem sido concebido na contemporaneidade, também se movimenta. Para aprimorar este debate, trazemos os conhecimentos de teorias da narrativa e da nova história, em que há uma intensa discussão acerca do trabalho que une dados objetivos da realidade e a capacidade de elaborar um discurso que se aprofunda em subjetividades. Nosso argumento central é o de que o jornalismo literário, quando articulado com os textos biográficos, pode contribuir para a teorização e produção de trabalhos desses gêneros.Este texto propone un abordaje teórico de los géneros biográficos a partir del campo del periodismo literario, teniendo en perspectiva las posibilidades discursivas involucradas en esa construcción narrativa.

Introduction: Literary Journalism as a Discipline
Authors: Bak John S. , Martinez Monica
Published: December 2018

The editors of this issue of Brazilian Research Journalism welcome that debate, firmly believing that nothing new emerges without dialogue, from outside and inside the discipline. After all, literary and journalistic studies are not haunted by their many, at times antagonistic, schools of critical thought. On the contrary, both are made richer by them. As the Brazilian adage goes: “In the struggle of the sea against the cliff, none suffers but the shellfish.” And yet, the shellfish not only survives that eternal battle; it also thrives and prospers. This volume thus hopes that any debate that it generates will ultimately serve literary journalism studies in establishing itself as a discipline unique to itself, but always open and willing to foster a dialogue with other fields of knowledge.

Public-Use vs. Restricted-Use: An Analysis Using the American Community Survey
Authors: Kinney Saki , Karr Alan F
Published: December 2018

Statistical agencies frequently publish microdata that have been altered to protect condentiality. Such data retain utility for many types of broad analyses but can yield biased or insufficiently precise results in others. Research access to de-identied versions of the restricted-use data with little or no alteration is often possible, albeit costly and time-consuming. We investigate the advantages and disadvantages of public-use and restricted-use data from the American Community Survey (ACS) in constructing a wage index. The public-use data used were Public Use Microdata Samples, while the restricted-use data were accessed via a Federal Statistical Research Data Center. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each data source and compare estimated CWIs and standard errors at the state and labor market levels. We find the results from the publicly available data are generally good relative to the restricted-use data, with greater similarity for larger areas and less similarity for smaller areas. Standard errors are higher in the public-used data but may still be underestimated.

The Fienberg Problem: How to Allow Human Interactive Data Analysis in the Age of Differential Privacy
Authors: Dwork Cynthia , Ullman Jonathan
Published: December 2018

Differential Privacy is a popular technology for privacy-preserving analysis of large datasets. DP is powerful, but it requires that the analyst interact with data only through a special interface; in particular, the analyst does not see raw data, an uncomfortable situation for anyone trained in classical statistical data analysis. In this note we discuss the (overly) simple problem of allowing a  trusted analyst to choose an ``"interesting" statistic for popular release (the actual computation of the chosen statistic will be carried out in a differentially private way).
Reminiscences of Steve Fienberg
Authors: Reiter Jerome P.
Published: December 2018

Steve Fienberg had an enormous influence on how I think about statistical science and a huge impact on my career. Steve's research is of course legendary; he made fundamental contributions to Bayesian inference, categorical data analysis, disclosure control, official statistics, and record linkage, to name key areas where our research interests overlapped. The statistical insights in this work are brilliant and important -- and directly inspired several of my papers, including my first paper in JASA. The innovations in Steve's work target and respond to real, high impact problems in official statistics with leading edge methodology intended to make it into practice. His example of being an academic statistician who improves the practice of official statisticians on the ground is one that I try to emulate in my official statistics research.
Although I was not one of Steve's students, I was the beneficiary of his mentorship. At conferences and workshops, and at reciprocating visits to CMU and Duke, Steve generously gave me many hours of his time, answering questions about research, official statistics, advising students, career options and paths, and life in general. I valued his advice dearly and followed it. I also have benefitted from Steve's mentorship in a more indirect way: I have been a post-doc mentor to two of his Ph.D. students. I can say from first hand experience that Steve's students are wonderful, both as scholars and as people. As I would have expected coming from Steve's tutelage.
Steve Fienberg and Student Research
Authors: Ventura Samuel L
Published: December 2018

I was nervous when giving my first presentation to our US Census research group as a young graduate student:  Steve was in the room, and I was not sure if my record linkage research was any good. While I was presenting, Steve seemingly paid no attention to what I was saying.  I would glance his direction when presenting each slide, and every time, he was typing something on his iPad and not watching my presentation at all. That's okay, I thought.  He's probably really busy, and shouldn't be wasting his time on my talk.
After the meeting, I got back to my desk and checked my inbox, only to find seven emails from Steve, each with a paper that I should read that related to different parts of my work.  His feedback in these emails helped shape the directions of my future research.
That was Steve.  He always made time for sharing constructive feedback on student research, and he could multitask better than anyone I've ever met.
In Honour of Steve and Joyce Fienberg
Authors: Shlomo Natalie
Published: December 2018

During this period of preparing for the special issue of the Journal of Privacy and Confidentiality in honour of Steve Fienberg, we received news of the tragic events that occurred at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh on October 27th, 2018 and the sudden senseless death of Joyce Fienberg. Whilst Steve was a great support and mentor to me as I embarked on my PhD research at the Hebrew University and the University of Southampton in 2004, he was married to an extraordinary woman who showed endless kindness to me and all of Steve’s students and mentees. I had a wonderful visit to CMU during my sabbatical period in November 2011 spending much quality time with both Steve and Joyce.
As my mentor, Steve marked my PhD dissertation in 2007, provided me with advice and support as I embarked on an academic career and provided many recommendation and promotion letters over the years. I can honestly credit Steve with where I am at today in my academic career. Steve was instrumental in bringing differential privacy to the forefront of research in statistical disclosure limitation and provided many opportunities to bring statisticians and computer scientists together for collaborations. Our most recent initiative was the Data Linkage and Anonymisation Programme at the Isaac Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge from July through December 2016. Steve was to participate in the programme but alas his illness took the better of him during that time. In fact, Steve was to participate in all three programmes that were running at the Institute: Data Linkage and Anonymisation, Theoretical Foundations for Statistical Network Analysis and Probability and Statistics in Forensic Science which only goes to show the breadth and depth of his research activities and achievements. He was sorely missed.
I can only hope that these words of devotion and appreciation will provide some comfort to Steve and Joyce’s family. I end with a Hebrew blessing - Zichronom livracha – may their memories be a blessing.
Reminiscences about Steve Fienberg

Reminiscences
Authors: Dwork Cynthia
Published: December 2018

I first met Steve during a talk I was giving at Carnegie Mellon in 2003 describing very early thoughts on a cryptography-flavored approach to privacy in public databases.  Some of these ideas arose during Adam Smith's internship with me at Microsoft.  Steve was critical (``Your utility is going to be in the toilet''), but I think he was intrigued by the cryptographic approach, since after the talk he proposed that we have a workshop (``Your bring your guys and I'll bring mine'').  This occurred during the summer of 2005 in the hillside town of Bertinoro, Italy.  The workshop almost broke down on the second day: the statisticians thought the cryptographers, with their talk of ``the adversary'' and its arbitrary auxiliary information, were completely paranoid, while the cryptographers were frustrated by the absence of a formal notion of privacy and a measure of its loss in the statistical work.  Fortunately, there is little to do in Bertinoro at night, other than to drink grappa in the piazza, and this eased the tension considerably.  Later in the workshop Steve proposed to Alan Karr and me that we found a journal and, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, we have and this is it.
Reminiscenses of Steve Fienberg
Authors: Kifer Dan
Published: December 2018

I was fortunate enough to meet Steve at a variety of privacy workshops over the years. More than anyone I have met, he encouraged early-career researchers and showed interest in their work. Part of the reason was Steve's enthusiasm for statistical disclosure control, which comes across in every conversation. Once, he (half-jokingly) told me that everyone should be limited to lifetime total of 20 published pages, so that people focus their energies on deep progress in the problems they care about. Late in his career, Steve also mentioned that he started telling prospective students that he doesn't need to publish anymore.Of course, he continued his research in privacy { not because he needed to, but because he wanted to. One of our shared common interests was in developing techniques for proper statistical analysis of differentially private data, and over-coming the associated computational difficulties. I am grateful for his support and encouragement -- to a first-year faculty, it means a lot when a legend tells you he had read all of your papers, and I will miss his enthusiasm.
Tribute to Steve Fienberg

As readers of this Journal know, I paid my tribute to Steve Fienberg in my 2016 Julius Shiskin Lecture:As readers of this Journal know, I paid my tribute to Steve Fienberg in my 2016 Julius Shiskin Lecture:
"Finally, I would like to acknowledge the role of Stephen Fienberg of Carnegie Mellon University. I'm sure almost everyone in this auditorium can cite a path-breaking contribution of Steve's that had a major impact on statistics and the federal statistical system. I want to highlight the foresight that he had in gathering researchers from the SDL community and the emerging computer science data-privacy community in Bertinoro, Italy, in 2005. This is where I first met Cynthia Dwork and the team of young cryptographers who were shattering the received wisdom in SDL with methods that Steve recognized as revolutionary. I’m also going to spend much of this lecture on those methods. The last time Steve and I talked about this, at this year's JSM, he confided to me that our big mistake was that ``we did not grow the community fast enough.'' I hope this lecture helps solve that problem too." (JPC, 2017, Vol. 7, No. 3 \url{https://doi.org/10.29012/jpc.v7i3.404})
To which I would now add, that I hope this volume in his honor also expands the community of scholars working on these important issues. As compelling as the cryptographers are, privacy-preserving data analysis must have equal participation from domain scientists, technologists, and statisticians. Good science and strong privacy protections do compete for the same scarce resource (the information in confidential databases), but efficient, workable solutions require input from all these specialists.

Advancing intercultural learning in world language education: Recent developments in pre-service teacher education in the U.S.
Authors: Garrett-Rucks Paula
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Intercultural understanding is increasingly prioritized in the teaching and learning of world languages. Empirical evidence reveals the ways in which an intercultural communicative approach to foreign language instruction can foster learners’ intercultural competence (Garrett-Rucks, 2016). Yet, in the U.S., there remains a disconnect in the distribution of federal funds for internationalization efforts to foster learners’ intercultural understanding and the support given for world languages study, in which enrollment continues to fall (MLA, 2018). This position paper is intended to raise awareness of the crucial role of foreign language (FL) learning in fostering learners’ intercultural understanding in order to put into question the underestimated role of FL learning in U.S. educational policies and internationalization efforts. Despite the lack of financial, political and educational policy support, current World Language teacher certification practices in the U.S. require candidates to provide evidence of their intercultural approach to language instruction. This paper describes the emphasis on cultural reflection in current U.S. World Languages teacher certification practices and provides a review of meaningful culture learning projects to encourage all language instructors to take an intercultural communicative approach to their instruction.

Research using Hierarchical Bayes (HB) applied to Small Area Estimation (SAE) was conducted with the aim to estimate the proportion of halal tourism destination in West Lombok Regency. The development of halal taourism object in West Lombok that has been done by the Departement of Culture and Tourism, has not been fully able to do direct estimation on a small area, such as at the sub-district level. One way of obtaining estimation data up to the sub-district level is by increasing the sample size. However, increasing the sample size will cost time and money. Therefore, SAE method can be used to solve the poblem of data optimization. Furthermore, the HB method is used in the process of finding the expected alleged value. The prediction process was performed using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) by applying the conditional Gibbs Algorithm of Metropolis-Hasting. Indirect modeling using HB method on SAE is based on the Fay-Herriot model for the area level with the help of supporting variables. The estimation results were then compared with the direct estimates with the value of the variance statistic as a benchmark. The results showed that the estimation using HB gave in a smaller average of variance value score of 0.021, compared with direct estimates with an average of variance value of 0.042. This showed that indirect estimation using HB method gave better result than using direct estimation method.

Amaç: Erken doğmuş bebeklerde respiratuvar distres sendromunun (RDS) önlenmesinde antenatal kortikosteroid
(AKS) tedavisi yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmasına rağmen, bu tedavinin çoğul
gebeliklerdeki sonuçları halen tartışmalıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, erken doğum
riski taşıyan çoğul gebeliklerde AKS’in etkisini araştırmaktır.Yöntem: İki yıllık bir dönemde bir
Üniversite Hastanesinde çoğul gebelik ve erken doğumu riski ile hospitalize
edilerek doğum yapan 68 kadının tıbbi kayıtları incelendi. Çalışmaya alınan
kadınların 67’si ikiz gebelik, bir tanesi ise üçüz gebelikti. Demografik
özellikler, obstetrik öykü, gebelik yaşı, maternal komorbidite varlığı, doğum
şekli, maternal ve fetal sonuçlar kaydedilerek incelendi.Bulgular: Olguların yaş ortalaması
31,9±5,7 yıldı. Hastaneye yatırıldıklarında ortalama gebelik haftası 33.1±2.5
haftaydı. Hastaların %48,5'i spontan, %26,5'i kontrollü ovaryan stimülasyon ve
intrauterin inseminasyon ve %25'i in vitro fertilizasyon ve embriyo transferi
yöntemiyle gebe kalmıştı. Altmış sekiz hastanın 45’inde (%66,2) tek doz,
23'ünde (% 33.8) multidoz kortikosteroid uygulandı. Kortikosteroid ile doğum
arasındaki ortalama süre 81±276 saat idi. 
Postpartum dönemde bir hastada fasiyal paralizi ve bir hastada da
cerrahi alan enfeksiyonu gelişti. Doğan 137 bebeğin %51,1’inde yoğun bakım
gereksinimi olmaz iken, %48.9’u yenidoğanın geçici takipnesi, RDS, sarılık
nedeni ile yenidoğan yoğun bakım (YDYB) ünitesine alındı. Üç yenidoğan
postpartum dönemde kaybedildi (650, 750 ve 875 gr).

Sonuç: Çoğul gebeliklerin yaklaşık
% 50'sinde görülen preterm doğum yenidoğan mortalite/morbiditesi için önemli
risk oluşturmaktadır. Çoğul gebelerde preterm doğum bağlı gelişecek RDS’nin
önlenmesi ve YDYB ihtiyacının azaltılması için AKS kullanımı önemlidir. Preterm
doğum ile komplike olan çoğul gebeliklerde RDS gelişimi sağ kalımı etkileyen en
önemli faktördür. RDS önlenmesinde AKS kullanımı önemlidir.

The objective: to study the macro- and micro-elemental composition of blood in patients with urolithiasis and to substantiate the feasibility of using polyelemental medications.Materials and methods. A total of 65 patients with urolithiasis(calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis), aged 20 to 65 years were examined. A control group, comprised 25 healthy individuals of the same age as the patients. Determination of microelements of blood serum was performed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (A.G. Babenko, 1996).Results. The study showed that the micro- and macroelement composition of blood in patients with urolithiasis was changed, what was manifested by a decreased concentration of magnesium, zinc with an excessive content of copper and calcium, and relatively normal values of cobalt and manganese. This can be explained by the fact that urolithiasis is accompanied by an energetic deficency which indicates the duration of the process. The obtained results allow to conclude that macro- and microelement blood analysis may be of interest in the field of urology as a noninvasive test for the identification of patients with mineral metabolism failure in order to further correction of such disorders and also as a tool for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and preventing complications.Conclusions. In patients with urolithiasis, there are disorders in the compound of macro- and microelements, which are manifested by an increase in the level of copper, calcium with simultaneous deficiency of zinc and magnesium. The presence of imbalance in the bioelement system is one of the pathogenetic mechanisms of development and progression of urolithiasis.
