Published: September 2020

Background: Lithium is a commonly used drug with a narrow therapeutic index, it has significant adverse effects on kidney and thyroid, and is life threatening during intoxication. Maudsley guidelines on managing bipolar affective disorder patients (BPAD) with lithium recommends checking weight at baseline and every 3rd month, serum lithium after 7th day thereafter 3 months once, renal function test and serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) at baseline and 6 months once. Aim: To evaluate whether Pre-Lithium workup and monitoring is done in Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) patients initiated on Lithium as per Maudsley prescribing guidelines in psychiatry. Method: Retrospective audit conducted in a tertiary care hospital on lithium monitoring in BPAD patients treated with lithium atleast for six months compared against Maudsley prescribing guidelines. Results: Among medical records of 114 bipolar patients fulfilling study criteria, weight and serum lithium at baseline was checked in 100% of patients; serum creatinine and TSH at baseline along with lithium at 3rd month was done in 83.3%, 78.9% and 68.4% of patients respectively. Maudsley guidelines for serum creatinine, TSH and lithium level at 6th month were met only in 43.8%, 43.8% and 72.8% of patients respectively. Conclusion: The quality of lithium monitoring in bipolar patients falls well short of accepted standards; Hence addressing the issues in monitoring and following a standard protocol can improve the effectiveness of treatment and quality of life of patients.

The rationale for relevance development of substrate-attribute model of information culture in the framework of the philosophy of culture
Authors: Afanasiev S. V.
Published: September 2020

Introduction.The information society changes many familiar phenomena of traditional society. These include, first of all, culture, which acts as an indicator that civilization is moving to a new stage of development. In the information age, significant changes are taking place in the culture. In the works of scientists, a categorical apparatus is developed that allows describing and studying new phenomena. The category "information culture" is one of such innovations in the scientific literature. However, research shows that a unified approach to understanding the essence of this phenomenon has not yet developed.

In the study of information culture, the issues of its relationship with society and the individual are well developed, and the possible social consequences of its development and implementation in all spheres of human life and activity are presented. However, the weak point or "white spot" remains the study of its nature, essential, attribute, and substrate properties.

The purpose of this article is to substantiate the relevance of developing a substratum-attribute model of information culture within the framework of the philosophy of culture.

Materials and Methods.The main research methods used were analytical review, analysis, grouping, generalization, comparison, and substrate approach.

Results:the analysis of works devoted to the philosophical and cultural research of information culture has shown that researchers of the nature and essence of information culture as a category of cultural philosophy pay insufficient attention to the development of its substratum-attribute model. There are practically no complete system studies that result in the construction of a substratum-attribute model of information culture.

Discussion and Conclusions.The studied models of information culture do not fully reflect its nature, essential features and qualities that allow us to understand the causes and mechanisms of its influence on the course of civilizational, social and anthropological changes. Therefore, the development of a substratum-attribute model of information culture is due to the need to identify the causes of possible changes in the generic qualities of a person that occur under its influence as a socio-cultural phenomenon.
Review of psychological studies of vandalism of children and adolescents as the basis for designing prevention programs in the educational environment
Authors: Volkova E. N. , Mititsina E. A.
Published: September 2020

Introduction.The article provides an overview of Russian and foreign studies of vandalism among children and adolescents, which is carried out in order to highlight the personal and environmental determinants of vandal activity of students, as well as to determine the possibilities of taking them into account when developing methods for preventing vandal behavior.

Materials and Methods.Analysis, generalization and structuring of research results, theoretical material and practical recommendations on the problem of vandal behavior of young people.

Results.The total list of publications was 1499 russian and foreign works. 44 articles were selected for analysis in accordance with the issued criteria. The content of these works allows us to characterize the essence of vandalism and its types, age, gender and personal predictors of vandalism, protective and provocative factors of vandalism in the educational and family environment, as well as directions for its prevention.

Discussion and Conclusions.The analysis will provide an opportunity to consider vandalism as a form of aggressive behavior of children and adolescents and to outline the prospects for the development of a program to prevent vandalism among students. As a research perspective, the need for a more detailed empirical study of situational factors and socio-psychological determinants that act as a trigger for vandal behavior, as well as taking into account Russian sociocultural conditions, is highlighted.

Published: September 2020

Introduction

Malaria is a notifiable disease in all European Union and European Economic Area countries except Belgium and France, where only autochthonous malaria is notifiable. Although morbidity caused by malaria has been assessed, little is known about mortality incidence.

Objective

Our aim was to estimate the number of imported malaria-related deaths in hospital in metropolitan France.

Methods

We matched individual deaths reported between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2014 to the French National Reference Centre for malaria (FNRCm) with malaria-related deaths from two other sources: the French National Registry on medical causes of death and the French national hospital discharge database. A capture–recapture method with log-linear modelling was used. Age, sex and place of death stratification were applied to remove heterogeneity.

Results

The estimated malaria-related deaths in metropolitan France during the study period were 205 (95% confidence interval (CI): 191–219). The annual mean number of malaria-related deaths was estimated at 21 (95% CI: 19–22). The FNRCm malaria-related deaths surveillance had a 38% sensitivity (95% CI: 32–44). Among 161 in-hospital individual malaria-related deaths reported from three data sources, the sex ratio (male to female) was 2.6. Median age of the patients was 57 years, ranging from 1 to 89 years.

Conclusion

The pertinent finding of this report is that malaria-related death records were significantly less* complete than case records. Therefore, data comparison of imported malaria morbidity and mortality between countries should imperatively be assessed using standard indicators weighted according to the completeness of health surveillance systems.

Published: September 2020

We investigated data from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected 0–19 year olds, who attended schools/childcare facilities, to assess their role in SARS-CoV-2 transmission after these establishments’ reopening in May 2020 in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Child-to-child transmission in schools/childcare facilities appeared very uncommon. We anticipate that, with face mask use and frequent ventilation of rooms, transmission rates in schools/childcare facilities would remain low in the next term, even if classes’ group sizes were increased.
Theory, research, clinical practice and training: a virtuous circle through Social Cognitive Transactional Analysis
Authors: De Nitto Carla , Bianchini Susanna , Teresa Tosi Maria
Published: September 2020

This presentation describes our view of research, strictly linked to clinical practice, in creating theoretical constructs, forming a virtuous circle within our training model, putting together quantitative and qualitative research. We consider our contribution as a meta-level reflection on research.
The Experiential Learning Model of Kolb and Fry (1975) will be used to explain the circular relation between research, theory, clinical practice and training. The authors state that learning, change and growth empower each other through a circular process based on four different aspects: Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization and Active Experimentation. We will describe how these elements impact on the different activities that are part of this virtuous circle.

Authors: Nezirović Senada
Published: September 2020

The climate of the north-eastern Bosnia belongs to the moderate continental type, where there are certain specifics caused by relief, geographic position, proximity to the Pannonian basin, mountain central massif and the distance from the Adriatic Sea. The area of northeastern Bosnia has similar climate characteristics as well as the countries of Central Europe: warm summers, cold winters, chilly autumn and rainy spirng. The climate of northeastern Bosnia is influenced by a series of factors that determine all of its elements: air temperature, humidity, air pressure and sunshine duration.

This paper analyzes the basic climatic elements of the Northeastern Bosnia region. During the field research, the emphasis was placed on climate tourism motives and their role in spatial organization and development of tourism. On the basis of a shorter analysis, we tried to distinguish tourist areas and facilities with the dominant function of tourism, in which tourism can become a dominant economic activity.

Published: September 2020

Cronobacter spp. are emerging, opportunistic, food-borne pathogens associated with infections like meningitis, necrotizing enterocolitis and septicaemia in premature and immunocompromised neonates and infants. The phylogenetic relatedness of three Cronobacter species isolated from powdered infant formula retailed in Nigeria was carried out using a Pan-Genomic DNA Microarray constituting 19,287 independent genes representing 15 Cronobacter genomes and 18 plasmids and 2,371 virulence genes of phylogenetically related Gram-negative bacteria. The hybridization results showed that Cronobacter malonaticus (CS14) and Cronobacter sakazakii (CS17 and CS124) clustered with powdered infant formula environmental and clinical strains of C. malonaticus and C. sakazakii isolated from countries like Jordan, Czech Republic, Ireland and USA with a significant relatedness greater than 80%. The sequence types of C. malonaticus CS14 was ST303 and C. sakakakii CS17 and CS124 were ST304 and ST296, respectively. Some virulence genes (integrase of Shigella flexnerri bacteriophage X, hypothetical protein z1655, dihydrofolate reductase, and formate acetyltransferase 1) were detected in CS124 and CS17. Adequate regulatory measures should be applied to monitor imported and locally produced powdered infant formulae to prevent contamination with Cronobacter spp. and other food borne pathogens to ensure the safety of vulnerable neonates and infants.

Authors: D.A. Ogolla , H. Kidombo , T.A. Senaji
Published: September 2020

Employee retention is a major challenge facing many organizations today. The understanding of Generational differences at the workplace has been identified as a key requirement in implementing measures for effective employee retention. Within the telecommunications firms in Kenya, the problem of employee retention is a major challenge to the telecommunications firms. This paper thus examines the effect of generational differences on the retention of engineers in telecommunications firms in Kenya from the generational theory and generational cohorts theory perspective.  This study used the cross-sectional and descriptive survey research design. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. We found that there exist a statistically significant variation in employee retention across the generational cohorts as observed through employee engagement, job satisfaction and organizational commitment (continuance commitment, affective commitment and normative commitment). These findings extend the theory regarding employees’ retention and have implication for employee retention practices which should be differentiated across the generational cohorts.

Published: September 2020

In response to the global community problem on solid waste management and the empowerment of the persons with disability (PWDs), this study is focused on Plastiknology development and utilization among persons with disability (PWDs) in Sinacaban, Misamis Occidental, Philippines. The study employed IPO (input process output) model using the respondents’ profile as the input variables and sanitation, sorting, cutting, folding and connecting skills as the process variables. Plastiknology products such as coin purse, clutch bag, wallet and placemats serves as the output variables. Using descriptive statistics, the mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage and percentage distribution are used to describe each variable. Regression analysis was used to test the input and process variables’ influence on the creation of the output products. Statistics shows minimal background on handicrafts, but interest in trainings is high. Active participation on livelihood trainings was shown in respondents’ positive attendance, attitude and product construction. As a result, there was no significant difference between self-evaluated and post-evaluated skills. Qualitatively, the products of the partcipants are promising and well-constructed. It was therefore recommended that the national and local institutions shall provide livelihood assistance to special sectors such as PWDs by facilitating the continuity of this livelihood program.
CATALASE INTRINSIC EMISSIONS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AS PROBABLE CAUSE IN CANCEROGENESIS FROM CONSUMPTION OF RED AND PROCESSED MEAT
Authors: Embi Abraham A.
Published: September 2020

In 2015, reports by The International Agency for Research on Cancer warned of a high incidence of cancer due to processed meats intake. At present, the etiologic factor(s) behind this cancer genesis (is)(are) unknown. The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce a hypothesis linking the protein enzyme catalase (CAT) added to processed meats during manufacturing as a probable cause for the higher cancer incidence. CAT is added during the processed food manufacturing for esthetic reasons, to avoid the “bleaching effect” by hydrogen peroxide. Supporting the hypothesis are prior experiments linking electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emissions during cell respiration, as causing DNA damage and triggering cancer. In that research (CAT) was briefly reported to emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This manuscript reintroduces and emphasizes the ubiquitous enzyme catalase as possible cause in cancer genesis reported from processed meat consumption. Additional experiments are presented where a Prussian Blue Solution (PBS) was mixed with two parts of fine iron particles 2000 nanometers (nm) in diameter. Control experiments had human hairs mounted on a slide and then exposed to the liquid PBS. A slide assembly was constructed that EMFs emissions by catalase proper disrupting the metabolic process of the human hair follicle. CAT is shown to be an independent emitter of EMFs and therefore hypothesized as cancerogenic to the human body.

In the process of processing seaweed will produce residual waste from carrageenan extraction, and the residue still contain cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, pectin, and other organic materials that can be processed into bioethanol. This research aimed to utilize the residual carrageenan extracted from seaweed Eucheuma cottonii into bioethanol. The research method includes acid hydrolysis process using 3% sulfuric acid at a temperature of 70-80oC for 30 minutes, followed by a fermentation process using yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a ratio of 1: 0.006 for hydrolyzate and yeast, fermentation time treatment 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days at temperature 25o-30oC. Fermentate at 78oC, measured in degrees of acidity (pH), volume, and levels of bioethanol. The results showed that the residual carrageenan extract containing carbohydrates as un-extracted carrageenan was 5.01%, hemicellulose was 7.12%, cellulose was 0.96%, and lignin was 8.26%. The level of bioethanol produced from the residual carrageenan extraction was 2.57% and, the yield was 32.64% with a fermentation time of 6 days as the optimal time.

Utilization of technology in education will produce good quality learning, up to date, make critical thinking, have conceptual thinking and easy to access various learning resources. Together with technology, the teacher must realize a learning assisted learning media, so that students’ interest in learning increases. Articulate storyline application is an interactive multimedia application that can be used by teachers or students. Based on observations found that teachers use media objects for learning in class, especially in force material, then based on the results of interviews with teachers, teachers more often use learning media types of objects, visuals and silently projected. The purpose of this study is to validate the articulate storyline as a learning medium on force material. The steps of this research development include initial research and information gathering, planning, developing initial product formats, initial trials and product revisions. Data collected through observation, interviews and questionnaires. The results of the validation of the material experts stated that media is valid with an average value of 79.65%. Furthermore, the results of the validation of the media experts stated that media is valid with an average value of 86.16%. In tested valid media products with an average of 81.93%. From the results of these data the researchers concluded that the articulate storyline-based media are valid, and suitable for use as learning media.
“Am I Doing Enough?” Special Educators’ Experiences with Emergency Remote Teaching in Spring 2020 [now published in Education Sciences: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/10/11/320/htm]

AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS PAPER HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN EDUCATION SCIENCES. PLEASE SEE HERE: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/10/11/320/htm While the COVID-19 pandemic radically changed all aspects of everyone’s life, the closure of schools was one of the most impactful, significantly altering daily life for school personnel, students, and families. The shift to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) presented particular challenges to special educators of students with significant support needs, who often benefit from strong interpersonal connections, modeling, and the use of physical manipulatives. This paper details the experiences of two elementary special education teachers as they navigated the transition to ERT. The teachers reported three distinct stages of ERT: making contact, establishing routines, and transitioning to academics. They also discussed challenges they faced during this period, such as the inequity in resources amongst their students, needing to rely on at-home support in order to meaningfully teach students, and changes in what it meant to be a teacher while having to teach online. While clearly not in favor of online learning, the teachers do present glimmers of hope, for example with regards to increased communication between teachers and parents. The challenges and strategies used to overcome them will be of use to teachers and school administrators in the coming months, as school closures are likely to remain for the foreseeable future.
Dekonstruksi puisi "The Divine Comedy" karya Dante Alighieri dalam Novel "Inferno" karya Dan Brown
Authors: Makmur Zulkifli
Published: September 2020

Tesis ini berusaha membahas strategi Dan Brown melalui novel Inferno menegosiasikan oposisi hierarki puisi Dante Alighieri berjudul The Divine Comedy. Puisi ini dianggap sebagai sebuah bangunan menjulang moralitas Angelo-America yang hingga hari ini masih menjadi polemik multikulturalisme serta isu kesetaraan lainnya. Peneliti menggunakan teori Dekonstruksi untuk membaca novel inferno. Dekonstruksi sendiri merupakan buah pikiran Jacques Derrida dengan membaca oposisi biner di balik teks. Metode tafsir dekonstruksi mampu memecah struktur teks untuk membuka kemungkinan-kemungkinan makna baru dari jejak yang ditimbulkan. Metode yang digunakan dalam analisis ini adalah menyimak. Peneliti mula-mula membaca The Divine Comedy, lalu memetakan struktur alam eskatologi dari yang terhina--neraka terdalam--sampai Empyrean sebagai puncak surga. Dengan pemetaan itu, peneliti menemukan struktur tersebut mengalami pembongkaran di dalam Novel Inferno, yaitu struktur autobiografi, struktur religius, dan struktur gender.
“Where Are The . . .Fixations?”: Grammatical Number Cues Guide Anticipatory Fixations To Upcoming Referents And Reduce Lexical Competition
Authors: Brown Violet Aurora , Fox Neal P. , Strand Julia Feld
Published: September 2020

Listeners make use of contextual cues during continuous speech processing that help overcome the limitations of the acoustic input. These semantic, grammatical, and pragmatic cues facilitate prediction of upcoming words and/or reduce the lexical search space by inhibiting activation of contextually inappropriate words that share phonological information with the target (e.g., Barr, 2008a). The current study used the visual world paradigm (see Magnuson, 2019) to assess whether and how listeners use contextual cues about grammatical number during sentence processing by presenting target words in carrier phrases that were grammatically unconstraining (“Click on the …”) or grammatically constraining (“Where is/are the …”). Prior to the onset of the target word, listeners were already more likely to fixate on plural objects in the “Where are the…” context than the “Where is the…” context, indicating that they used the construction of the verb to anticipate the referent. Further, participants showed less interference from cohort competitors when the sentence frame made them contextually inappropriate, but still fixated on those words more than on phonologically unrelated distractor words. These results suggest that listeners rapidly and flexibly make use of contextual cues about grammatical number while maintaining sensitivity to the bottom-up input.
Solidarity in Times of Pandemics
Authors: Prainsack Barbara
Published: September 2020

This short article discusses how the COVID-19 crisis has affected solidarity. It starts by defining solidarity in such a way that it can be distinguished from other types of support and pro-social practice, and by arguing that solidarity can manifest itself at three different levels: at the inter-personal level, the group level, or at the level of legal and contractual norms. Drawing upon findings from two ongoing studies on personal and societal effects of the COVID-19 crisis, I then go on to argue that, while forms of inter-personal solidarity have been shifting even during the first weeks and months of the crisis, the importance of institutionalized solidarity is becoming increasingly apparent. The most resilient societies in times of COVID-19 have not been those with the best medical technology or the strictest pandemic containment measures, but those with good public infrastructures and other solidaristic institutions.
American Quarantine
Authors: Honig Bonnie
Published: September 2020

In the US, quarantine requires we stay home, but many do not have homes to stay in or may lose theirs due to job or wage loss. For this reason, moratoria have been put on evictions. At the same time, after the latest police killings, and during ensuing protests against racist policing in June 2020, some were arrested for curfew violations, many pulled off the streets but others out of their homes or off their stoops. A real right to housing addresses both homelessness and uncurbed police powers that round up and break in. To address current emergencies and correct larger wrongs of American life, a rent jubilee would better protect tenants than a moratorium. It could be construed as a “taking,” allowed by the 5th Amendment, compensating landlords for their properties’ being taken to serve a “public use.” Popular takings, too, are rising up on behalf of a right to housing that goes beyond rent moratoria for some and the provision of low-grade “public housing” for others.
Coronavirus, Democracy and the Challenges of Engaging a Planetary Order
Authors: Kurki Milja
Published: September 2020

As the challenges presented by the coronavirus are being processed within national communities and the international order, important new avenues for re-thinking democratic theory and practice present themselves. This short article discusses the potential implications of a shift toward planetary politics whereby we engage not only human communities but also non-human ones in our thinking and practice of democracy. New opportunities to rethink “international order” and how we negotiate with ecosystems are presented by opening up (rather than closing down) our political imaginations in the context of the coronavirus challenge.
