В современном мире меняются основные показатели социально-экономического развития общества. Значимость социологических опросов растет, придавая больший вес субъективным оценкам процессов, проходящих в обществе. Показатель ВВП на душу населения, который долгие десятилетия являлся главной интегральной оценкой общественного прогресса, уступает место комплексным показателям качества жизни и благополучия населения. Такие индикаторы используются для изучения и оценки сложно структурированных явлений. В последнее время научное сообщество пытается предложить инструмент для оценки качества жизни и благополучия людей. Постепенно складывается мнение, что этот инструмент должен содержать как объективные данные, описывающие изучаемое явление, так и субъективные измерители, предназначенные для учета субъективного отношения людей. В то же время происходит процесс сокращения доли трудоспособного населения и увеличения числа пожилых людей. Поэтому в данном исследовании сосредоточено внимание на людях, достигших пенсионного возраста. В работе проводится сопоставление статистических данных и данных социологических опросов для оценки качества жизни пожилых людей в Томской области. Источниками информации стали аналитическая записка «Старшее поколение Томской области: демография и участие на рынке труда», опубликованная Томскстатом в 2019 г., и социологический опрос «Проблемы людей старшего поколения», проведенный в Международной научно-образовательной лаборатории технологии улучшения благополучия пожилых людей ТПУ в 2019 г. Результаты показывают, что исходя из статистических данных качество жизни пенсионеров за последние несколько лет не изменилось или немного улучшилось, в то время как по социологическим данным оно осталось на прежнем уровне или несколько ухудшилось.
Discriminación indirecta, empleo e igualdad en el lugar de trabajo: una comparación entre la legislación de igualdad del Reino Unido y Australia
Authors: Akhtar Zia
Published: May 2020

La Directiva 2000/78/CE establece un marco general para la igualdad de trato en el empleo, y prohíbe diversas formas de discriminación directa o indirecta, incluyendo la religión y las creencias del trabajador. La “Equality Act 2010” (Ley de Igualdad de 2010) traspone estas normas al Reino Unido bajo la lógica del principio de igualdad de trato. Las reglas o códigos de vestimenta dirigido a un grupo religioso determinado, como la prohibición a las mujeres musulmanas de vestir hiyab es un caso de discriminación directa; una regulación neutra que se aplique por igual a toda la plantilla puede producir una discriminación indirecta en aquellas personas que quieran utilizar determinadas ropas o símbolos asociados a su confesión religiosa tanto como la prohibición directa de uso de dichas prendas. La clave de la ley británica, en la mayor parte de los casos, será la eventual existencia de un objetivo legítimo en el empresario y el análisis de la proporcionalidad, a la luz del art. 9 de la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos. En la Ley Australiana, por su parte, se prohíbe la discriminación por motivos religiosos en un nivel institucional, y se reconoce la libertad de culto en la sección 116 de la constitución. La regulación es más flexible, porque no existe protección de las creencias religiosas en la legislación de igualdad que ampare un derecho a vestir hiyab en el centro de trabajo. Ambas jurisdicciones tienen políticas socioeconómicas y organizativas en materia de gestión de la diversidad informadas por un marco multinivel que contribuye a la integración en el ámbito laboral de individuos y organizaciones. Este trabajo plantea una aproximación comparativa entre los dos sistemas de common law, en el que Reino Unido sigue un esquema de multinationalidad basado en la Ley de Igualdad y la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos y Australia acepta la legislación federal y estatal, que tienen competencias concurrentes en materia legislativa.

Devido ao seu alto valor comercial e aceitação no mercado internacional, as espécies de mogno foram exploradas indiscriminadamente, mesmo em áreas protegidas, resultando em ameaça de extinção. As espécies de mogno são desejáveis ​​tanto em termos de cores e padrões de grãos quanto em suas propriedades físicas e mecânicas. Ambas as espécies têm características semelhantes e são consideradas resistentes ao ataque de fungos e cupins. A cultura do Mogno (Khaya spp. e Swietenia spp.) apresenta grande potencial produtivo no Brasil, sendo uma boa alternativa às culturas de maior expressão no país, por se tratar de madeiras nobres, e assim como o Mogno, as Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNAs) também são boas alternativas para estimar diferentes variáveis dendrométricas em diferentes culturas, e estudos comprovam que essa técnica vem produzindo ótimos ajustes, principalmente quando comparados aos modelos de regressão tradicionais. Sendo assim a presente revisão teve como objetivo trazer informações das diferentes aplicações das RNAs nas culturas do Mogno no Brasil.

A Pseudomonas aeruginosa destaca-se ao longo dos anos entre os agentes infecciosos frequentemente isolado em ambientes hospitalares. Atualmente as infecções hospitalares causadas por P. aeruginosa representam um desafio para a terapêutica antimicrobiana. Uma alternativa frente aos micro-organismo multirresistentes tem sido a busca de vacinas.  O presente trabalho visa verificar através de revisão de literatura o que há de concreto e as perspectivas concernentes a caracterização de antígenos de P. aeruginosa e, por conseguinte a produção e aplicabilidade de anticorpo. Fez-se um levantamento bibliográfico em periódicos das línguas portuguesa e inglesa entre os anos 1980 a 2019 sendo analisados e inseridos no trabalho 24 obras. No âmbito vacinal, os recursos disponíveis se baseiam em antígenos oriundo de toxinas de fatores de virulência conhecidos de espécies de P. aeruginosa, tais como; exotoxina-A, proteases e elastases, e componentes do LPS. Notou-se uma escassez na literatura quanto a temática. Pesquisas devem ser conduzidas na caracterização de antígenos e por conseguinte produção de anticorpos.
Community Pharmacy Response to Infection Control during COVID-19. A Cross-Sectional Survey.
Authors: Sum Zachary , Ow Charmane
Published: May 2020

Background: Australia received its first case of coronavirus on 25 January 2020. Since then the demands of COVID-19 has presented unparalleled levels of strain on the public healthcare systems in the country. In this time of crisis, pharmacists and community pharmacy staff have modified work strategies according to the rapidly changing environment. With a delayed dissemination of resources and guidelines, pharmacist and pharmacies are practicing innovative infection control methods across Australia to protect their staff, patients and the community. This article seeks to explore the current activities undertaken by pharmacists in various community pharmacy settings across Australia in relation to the safety of the workplace environments for staff and patients. Information collected can help inform future decisions in pandemic preparation for pharmacies in response to similar health crisis now and in the future. Methods: An online cross-sectional survey study was conducted in Australia during the COVID-19 outbreak from 1st to 30th April 2020. The questionnaire addressed community pharmacist’s awareness and response to infection and sanitation control. Results: A total of 137 pharmacists took part in the survey, with almost half (45.26%) belonging to the age group of 25 to 34 years. Community pharmacy formed the bulk (89.05%) of the respondent’s primary place of practice. There was a good uptake of safety measures by pharmacists and their pharmacies to protect staff and patients. However the task of reassigning high health risk staff was not heavily practiced (34.31%). Regular cleaning took place in the pharmacy, but the use of gloves while cleaning was not practiced in 48.18% of respondents. In addition, only 46.72% of respondents reported observing script baskets being cleaned and disinfected. About one-third (37.96%) of pharmacists were aware of the two-step cleaning and disinfecting process, but only 18.98% of pharmacists reported observing or performing this sanitation procedure. More than half of surveyed pharmacists reported having difficulty keeping up with infection control changes and pharmacy practice guidelines during the pandemic. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the majority of pharmacists are not fully aware of the infection control measures needed in a community pharmacy setting. The influx of coronavirus updates has made it difficult for pharmacists to implement accurate procedures on some aspects of workplace hygiene, which may have led to some gaps in infection control measures. Pharmacists must aim to uphold their public health ambassador role and aim to keep up-to-date with professional guidance to provide the necessary infection control measures to ensure staff, patient and public health safety.

Zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanostructures including nanorods are currently considered as a pioneer research of interest world-wide due to their excellent application potentials in various applied fields especially for the improvement of energy harvesting photovoltaic solar cells (PSC). We report on the growth and morphological properties of zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanorods grown on the surface of plain zinc (non-etched and chemically etched) plates by using a simple, economical, and environment-friendly technique. We apply hot water treatment (HWT) technique to grow the ZnO nanorods and varies the process parameters, such as temperature and the process time duration. The morphological, and elemental analysis confirm the agglomeration of multiple ZnO nanorods with its proper stoichiometry. The obtained nanostructures for different temperatures with different time duration showed the variation in uniformity, density, thickness and nanonorods size. The ZnO nanorods produced on the etched zinc surface were found thicker and uniform as compared to those grown on the non-etched zinc surface. This chemically etched Zinc plates preparation can be an easy solution to grow ZnO nanorods with high density and uniformity suitable for PSC applications such as to enhance the energy conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) solar cells towards the future sustainable green earth.
The Missing Link in Early Emotional Processing
Authors: Carretié Luis , Yadav Raghunandan K. , Méndez-Bértolo Constantino
Published: May 2020

Current proposals on the temporal sequence in the processing of emotional visual stimuli are partially incompatible with growing empirical data. In the majority of them, the initial evaluation structures (IES) postulated to be in charge of the earliest detection of emotional stimuli (i.e., salient for the individual), are high order structures (i.e., those receiving visual inputs after several synapses). Thus, their latency of response cannot account for the first visual cortex response to emotional stimuli (peaking 80 ms in humans). Additionally, these proposed structures lack the necessary infrastructure to locally analyze the visual features of the stimulus (shape, color, motion, etc.) that define a stimulus as emotional. In particular, the amygdala is defended as the cornerstone IES also in humans, and cortical areas such as the ventral prefrontal cortex or the insula have been proposed as well to intervene in this initial evaluation process. The present review describes several first-order brain structures (i.e., receiving visual inputs after one synapsis), and second order structures (two synapses) that may complement the former, that accomplish with both prerequisites: presenting response latencies compatible with the observed activity at the visual cortex and possessing the necessary architecture to rudimentarily analyze in situ relevant features of the visual stimulation. The visual thalamus, and particularly the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), a first-order thalamic nucleus that actively processes visual information, is a good candidate to be the core IES, with the complementary action of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN). This LGN-TRN tandem could be supported, also in an ascending, initial evaluation phase, by the pulvinar, a second order thalamic structure, and first-order extra-thalamic nuclei (superior colliculus and certain nuclei of pretectum and the accessory optic system). In sum, the visual thalamus, scarcely studied in relation to emotional processing, is a serious candidate to be the missing link in early emotional evaluation and, in any case, is worth exploring in future research.

In the recent years, intelligent data-driven faultdiagnosis methods on gearboxes have been successfully developedand popularly applied in the industries. Currently, most ofthe machine learning techniques require that the training andtesting data are from the same distribution. However, thisassumption is difficult to be met in the real industries, sincethe gearbox operating conditions usually change in practice,which results in significant data distribution gap and diagnosticperformance deteriorations in applying the learned knowledgeon the new conditions. This paper proposes a deep learning-based domain adaptation method to address this issue. Theraw current signals are directly used as the model inputs fordiagnostics, which are easy to collect in the real industries andfacilitate practical applications. The maximum mean discrepancymetric is introduced to the deep neural network, the optimizationof which guarantees the extraction of generalized machineryhealth condition features across different operating conditions.The experiments on a real-world gearbox condition monitoringdataset validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, whichoffers a promising tool for cross-domain diagnosis in the realindustries.

Capacity and Capability Differences on Rice and Shallot Farmers and the Impact on the Farming Productivity. During the last two decades there has been no stepping up in the production of rice and shallots farming. This is caused by low use of research innovation as well as the slow delivery of innovations to users. On the other hand, most of farmers' perceptions on extension workers are not entirely positive. The extension activities have not answered farmers need, and low impact on improving farmers' capacity and capability. The study objectives were (1) to analyze the differences on rice and shallot farmers capacity and capability, (2) to analyze the factors affected the farmers capacity and capability, and (3) to formulate a strategic approach to increase farmers capacity, capability and their farm productivity. The research was carried out through a structured survey of rice farmers in Subang and Boyolali Districts (n=270), and shallot farmers in Cirebon, Brebes, and Grobogan districts (n=249), from May to December 2018. The results of study showed that there was differences in capacity dan capability between rice farmers and shallot farmers affecting productivity among farmers and production gaps at the farm level. The use of innovation as a result of extension activities, had a high opportunity to increase in farmers' production and income. On shallots farmers the The productivity difference among farmers on shallot commodity was relatively high, because of the gap in the application of innovation in farming activities, so that the increase in capability did not directly affect on the production and income of farmers.  
Preliminary Screening and Formulation of New Generation Nanoparticles for Stable Pickering Emulsion in Cold and Hot Heavy-Oil Recovery
Authors: Wang Zhenjie , Babadagli Tayfun , Maeda Nobuo
Published: May 2020

Injecting water with chemicals to generate emulsions in the reservoir is a promising method in the enhancement of heavy-oil recovery because the formation of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions significantly reduces oil viscosity. Nanoparticles (NPs) (Pickering emulsions) can be used for this purpose as a cost-effective alternative to expensive surfactants; however, such Pickering emulsions need to be stable for successful applications. The objective of this study is to screen the effective emulsifier for O/W emulsions from a broad range of solid NPs and identify suitable Pickering emulsifying agents (e.g., adjusting pH or salt concentration) that can render emulsions stable at relevant conditions, and to investigate how a range of physical parameters, such as particle concentration, water/oil ratio (WOR), and temperature affect emulsion stability.

Five NPs—including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), silica, alumina, magnetite, and zirconia—were tested on their capabilities of stabilizing O/W emulsions through glass vial screening tests under various pH and salinity conditions. The screening results showed that the CNC could become an effective emulsifier by either adjusting pH or salinity. In addition, zeta potential measurements were conducted to explain the observations. The stabilization mechanisms of CNCs were studied through an epifluorescent transmitted microscope showing that the formation of a dense particle layer around the oil droplets, as well as a network in the continuous phase, were the two main mechanisms accounting for the high stability of the emulsions stabilized by CNCs. The effects of particle concentrations on the emulsion stability were studied quantitatively by analyzing the droplet-size distributions calculated by the open-source ImageJ software, with the results showing a sharp decrease in droplet size, followed by a smooth change as the particle concentration increased. For the WOR effect, phase inversion from O/W to water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions was observed when the oil content was more than 0.6. The thermal stability of emulsions was studied both macroscopically by glass bottle tests and microscopically through a microscope, both of which show that the CNC-stabilized emulsions remained thermally stable up to 100°C. The rheological properties of both aqueous dispersions of CNCs and the corresponding O/W emulsions were also measured under various salinity conditions. The results showed that the salinity had a great impact on the viscosity of the CNC suspension and the typical shear-thinning behavior of Pickering emulsions.

This study provides an option to enhance emulsion stability without surfactants, which will reduce the costs and facilitate field applications of emulsion flooding in heavy-oil recovery.
Study on Debonding Issue of Cementing Interfaces Caused by Perforation with Numerical Simulation and Experimental Measures
Authors: Yan Yan , Guan Zhichuan , Xu Yuqiang , Yan Weijun , Chen Weiqing
Published: May 2020

The debonding of cementing interfaces caused by perforation will increase the possibility of microannuli/microcrack propagation during hydraulic fracturing. This phenomenon will pose a threat to well integrity not only with stimulation operations but also subsequent long-term production. The objective of this work is to quantitatively investigate the debonding degree of cementing interfaces after perforation. A numerical model was used to simulate the process of the wellbore being penetrated by the perforating gun. Then, a real dimensional perforation experiment was conducted with a circular target specimen. The numerical debonding area of the casing/cement interface was verified by this experiment with the method of computerized tomography (CT).

The numerical-simulation and experiment results show that the cementing-interface debonding is mainly caused by the displacement difference between the casing, cement sheath, and formation during perforation. The debonding area and the microannuli of the casing/cement interface are larger than those of the cement/formation interface. Sensitivity analysis reveals that the debonding area of the cementing interface shows a positive relationship with the hexogen explosive (RDX) load and the elastic modulus of casing. Therefore, the casing with lower elastic modulus should be preferred to reduce the debonding area of the cementing interface caused by perforation if the principal casing-design criteria were met.

Background The largest proportion (amongst total newborns requiring inpatient care) is constituted by healthcare needs of small and sick neonates. This has to be delivered by a team of skilled and competent healthcare professionals. Very few comprehensive packages exist for management of premature and sick newborns. WHO-CC, AIIMS with the help of nearly thirty-five leaders in neonatology and nursing champions caring for preterm infants developed a multimodal educational package with philosophy of “Do No Harm” Methods The creation of the educational package included formative research for assessing health facility readiness, defining content deliverables and their layout. The modules thus developed were then field tested and validated. Each of the ten modules was then organized as pre-defined learning objectives, deliverables including text, videos, webinars, posters and job aids. The entire content is available as self-directed web based E-learning platform ( www.pretermcare-eliminatingrop.com ) designed to make users aware of the best care practices for preterm infants.Results The inputs from the field testing workshop on content, interaction and teaching learning methodology were incorporated in the educational package. The participants felt that the content was explicit and clearly defined and the workshop facilitated free interaction. The online platform has 2500 registered participants registered till date. Nearly 80% of the participants felt that quality of information presented, organization of content and the degree to which the examples related to real scenarios was excellent to exceptional. Discussion The learners are actively involved in the learning process and teachers are actually facilitators rather than ‘fact generators.’ The package focuses on the transformative learning strategies and the impact is likely to be revolutionary once it is taken to scale. In addition, the online web based learning platform along with its multimedia contents can be easily used for distance learning following which the participant can come for skill learning.

Background

The kidney has a rich endoplasmic reticulum system. A close relationship exists between endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The current study aimed to investigate serum glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) as well as CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) concentrations in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) Chinese patients, especially those with microalbuminuria.
Methods

We evaluated the relationships between serum GRP78 or CHOP levels and DKD. We recruited 67 patients with T2DM and 63 control subjects. We determined serum GRP78 and CHOP concentrations by ELISA, collected anthropometric data, and measured biochemical parameters in a clinical laboratory.
Results

Compared with control groups, Chinese T2DM patients showed decreased serum levels of GRP78 [0.21 (0.16–0.24) vs. 0.16 (0.16–0.19) ng/mL, p < 0.01] and CHOP [3.8 (3.0–5.5) vs. 5.5 (3.7–7.9) ng/mL, p < 0.01]. Reduction in GRP78 and CHOP serum levels was more pronounced in patients with more severe categories of microalbuminuria. Amounts of serum GRP78 correlated directly with serum fasting c-peptide, cystatin-c (cys-c), creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and uric acid, and inversely with glomerular filtration rates. Serum CHOP level was positively correlated with age, Cr, BUN, cys-c, urinary microalbumin/creatinine (UmALB/Cr), and eGFR. Serum GRP78 was predicted independently by Cr, BUN, serum uric acid, eGFR, and cys-c, while CHOP depended on age, Cr, BUN, serum uric acid, eGFR, UmALB/Cr, and cys-c. After controlling for confounding factors, GRP78 and CHOP expression was significantly associated with DKD (binary logistic regression, p < 0.01).
Conclusions

T2DM patients showed increased serum GRP78 and CHOP concentrations. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) areas under the curve for predicting DKD based on GRP78 and CHOP were 0.686 [95% CI: 0.558–0.813] and 0.670[0.524–0.816], respectively.

Background

Hyperglycemic Emergency (HE) denotes critical cases of decompensated diabetes mellitus (DM). Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) are the extreme cases of HE. This study aims to assess the treatment outcome of HE and predictors.
Method:

Four-year medical records of DM patients admitted for HE at Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital (HFSUH) were reviewed retrospectively. The data abstraction tool was adapted from the preceding studies. Data were entered into and cleaned by Epi-InfoTM7 software. The statistical analysis was executed using the statistical package for social sciences software (SPSS) version 24. Chi-square test and student’s t-test were done to compare categorical and continuous variables. Logistic regression with the level of α set at 0.05 and AOR of 95% CI was done to determine the predictors. Statistical significance was established at AOR ≠ 1 within a 95% CI and P-value < 0.05. The model was verified using the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test (P = 0.392).
Results

This study included 321 eligible patients. The median duration of hospital stay was 7 days. The pooled HE mortality was 16.5%; 21.4% of HHS and 11.1% of DKA died. Infection (AOR = 3.74, 95% CI: 1.85–7.57, P < 0.001), comorbidity (AOR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.34–6.48, P = 0.007), and lower admission Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤ 8 (AOR = 2.58, 95% CI: 1.17–5.71, P = 0.019) were the independent predictors of HE mortality.
Conclusion

Mortality and duration of hospital stay stand high among DM patients admitted for HE at HFSUH. Infection, comorbidity, and lower admission GCS ≤ 8 are the independent predictors of HE mortality. Operative strategies targeting the predictors ought to be devised to control the morbidity and mortality among DM patients hospitalized for HE.

Published: May 2020

This paper proposes a low complexity channel estimation algorithm for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) three dimension multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output (3D MIMO) systems with the uniform planar array (UPA) at base station (BS) using paired spatial signatures. With the aid of antenna array theory and array signal processing, firstly 3D channel modeling based on the angle between the direction of arrival (DOA) and the x- direction of the array antenna, and the angle between the DOA and the y- direction of the array antenna. And 3D MIMO channels can be projected onto the x- and y-directions, respectively. Then, channel estimation for multiuser uplinks using small amount of training resources, which is divided into two phases. The first phase is the uplink preamble phase, which assigns each user an orthogonal pilot, and obtains the paired spatial signatures and optimal rotation angle of each user through the same pilot sequence. We also propose a user grouping strategy based on three dimension angle-division multiple access (3D-ADMA) to ensure that the user's spatial signatures do not overlap. The second phase is much coherence times after the preamble phase, which assigns the same pilot sequence within a group and assigns orthogonal pilot sequences between groups, and the channel state information of the user's x- and y-directions is recovered by the paired space signatures and optimal rotation angle of each user obtained in the preamble phase, respectively. And dynamically updating the user's paired spatial signatures and optimal rotation angle utilizes the obtained channel components of x- and y-directions. Finally, the channel components of the x- and y-directions are reconstructed by the updated user's space signatures and the optimal rotation angle, and the 3D MIMO channel is generated by the Kronecker product. Compared with the conventional channel estimation method of a 3D MIMO system under UPA using a low rank model, the proposed methods greatly reduce the computational complexity without reducing the estimated performance, it is carried out with limited training resources, and the pilot resource overhead of the system is greatly reduced by the 3D-ADMA packet and the two-stage pilot allocation. Various numerical results are provided to corroborate the proposed studies.
