Authors: Alsina-Santana Rut , Zango-Martín Inmaculada
Published: March 2022

Resumen Introducción La salutogénesis es una orientación académica que busca resaltar los factores que promueven activamente la salud y el bienestar de las personas, ofreciendo un mayor control sobre sus vidas y su salud. Dentro de este enfoque destacan los activos para la salud de la población disponibles en la comunidad. Objetivo Revisar la literatura sobre las principales ocupaciones o actividades significativas considerando el planteamiento de los activos para la salud en jóvenes. Método Se realizó una revisión de la literatura en las bases de datos PubMed, Science Direct (Elsevier) y Biblioteca Virtual en Salud, entre los años 2013-2019. Se utilizaron los descriptores “health assets” AND (Children OR Adolescents) y “Activos para la salud” AND jóvenes. Se escogieron 10 artículos de los 145 cribados. Resultados Los diez artículos fueron seleccionados y analizados. Los activos para la salud más relevantes en los jóvenes son: el autoconocimiento y la autoconfianza. En cuanto a la ocupación, consideran que llevar un estilo de vida saludable, tener una vida con propósito, el ocio y las relaciones sociales son los principales activos para la salud. Por otra parte, se ha identificado un fuerte impacto de la relación con la familia para los activos para la salud. Conclusión En la intervención de terapia ocupacional es fundamental incluir a la población joven con la identificación de los activos para la salud y cómo impactan en la salud y el bienestar. Además, es importante investigar de qué modo los activos para la salud pueden reducir la desigualdad social de la comunidad. Por otra parte, se ha observado que los activos para la salud descritos por los jóvenes pueden presentar influencias por parte de la sociedad que, en vez de aportar salud, pueden ser nocivas para ellos.
As estruturas da vida cotidiana e a terapia ocupacional: tensionando limites e possibilidades no/do exercício profissional
Authors: Bezerra Waldez Cavalcante , Lopes Roseli Esquerdo , Basso Ana Carolina de Souza
Published: March 2022

Resumo Este ensaio objetiva refletir sobre o exercício profissional de terapeutas ocupacionais tomando como referencial teórico a concepção de cotidiano com base em Agnes Heller. Na terapia ocupacional, a discussão sobre cotidiano e vida cotidiana revela uma ênfase no seu uso como uma chave de leitura e de intervenção para pensar a vida das pessoas, grupos ou populações destinatárias das ações profissionais; assim, o foco tem sido sempre o cotidiano do outro. Propomos, neste artigo, um deslocamento reflexivo e problematizamos o cotidiano do profissional em si, entendendo que os limites e possibilidades no/do trabalho são tensionados no espaço da vida cotidiana em que o exercício profissional acontece e é atravessado pelas estruturas da cotidianidade. Discutimos o próprio cotidiano como locus de resistência à alienação e à possibilidade de suspensões temporárias da cotidianidade por meio de um trabalho crítico, capaz de articular as dimensões técnica, ética e política do exercício profissional, de transitar entre as esferas individual e coletiva na leitura e intervenção sobre as demandas profissionais, de superar a dicotomia teoria e prática e, assim, reafirmar o compromisso com a transformação da sociedade, em que lutas por redistribuição e reconhecimento produzam justiça e participação social.

Authors: Nazeri Rebaz , Esmaielzadeh Ladan , Karimi-Torshizi Mohammad-Amir , Seidavi Alireza , Zangeronimo Marcio Gilberto
Published: March 2022

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of dietary earthworm (Eisenia fetida) meal (EW), associated with vermi-humus (VH), on the performance, egg characteristics, immunity, and blood constituents of laying quails. A total of 336 female quails (42.5±1.5 g), with 30 days of age, was distributed in 7 treatments and 4 replicates of 12 birds during 42 days. The following treatments were evaluated: control diet without the inclusion of VH and EW; diet with the inclusion of only 0.8% VH; and diets with 0.8% VH supplemented with different EW levels (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5%). A greater body weight, weight gain, and feed intake were obtained with 1.5% EW; a higher egg productivity, with 0.5–1.0% EW; and a higher egg mass, with 0.5% EW. The inclusion of 2.5% EW reduced eggshell weight and thickness. Levels of 1.0–2.0% EW decreased malondialdehyde in the eggs, whereas 2.0% EW reduced cholesterol content. Higher blood cell volume and antibody titer were obtained with 1.0% EW, whereas higher total protein, globulin, and calcium were obtained with 0.5% EW. Levels of 1.0–1.5% EW + 0.8% VH improve egg production and characteristics, as well as the humoral response of quails, whose performance is not affected.
Nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures using thin flat shell elements
Authors: Silva Jordlly Reydson de Barros , Horowitz Bernardo
Published: March 2022

abstract: This paper presents the development of a nonlinear finite element analysis program for reinforced concrete structures, subject to monotonic loading, using thin flat shell finite elements. The element thickness is discretized in concrete and steel layers. It is adopted the Newton-Raphson method, considering a secant stiffness approach for the Material Nonlinear Analysis, based on the Modified Compression Field Model (MCFT), unlike the usual tangent stiffness approach. The original formulation was expanded to also consider the Geometric Nonlinear Analysis, through a Total Lagrangian Formulation. The program was validated through comparison with experimental results, for different structures. It was observed good agreement, besides adequate computational cost.
Survey and Evaluation of Causal Discovery Methods for Time Series
Authors: Assaad Charles K. , Devijver Emilie , Gaussier Eric
Published: March 2022

We introduce in this survey the major concepts, models, and algorithms proposed so far to infer causal relations from observational time series, a task usually referred to as causal discovery in time series. To do so, after a description of the underlying concepts and modelling assumptions, we present different methods according to the family of approaches they belong to: Granger causality, constraint-based approaches, noise-based approaches, score-based approaches, logic-based approaches, topology-based approaches, and difference-based approaches. We then evaluate several representative methods to illustrate the behaviour of different families of approaches. This illustration is conducted on both artificial and real datasets, with different characteristics. The main conclusions one can draw from this survey is that causal discovery in times series is an active research field in which new methods (in every family of approaches) are regularly proposed, and that no family or method stands out in all situations. Indeed, they all rely on assumptions that may or may not be appropriate for a particular dataset.
The effect of adding rubber crumbs on the cyclic permanent deformation of waste mixtures containing coal wash and steel furnace slag
Authors: Qi Yujie , Indraratna Buddhima
Published: March 2022

Among the numerous studies into the dynamic loading behaviour of rubber crumbs–soil/waste mixtures, the main focus is on how the content of rubber crumbs ([Formula: see text]) affects the damping ratio, shear modulus and total deformation. However, research into the influence of [Formula: see text] on the permanent strain rate ([Formula: see text]) and the deformation mechanism under repeated loading is very limited. In the current study, the cyclic deformation response for waste mixtures of steel furnace slag (SFS), coal wash (CW) and rubber crumbs (RC) is analysed and the test results reveal that [Formula: see text] has a significant influence on the initial [Formula: see text] and the slope of the permanent axial strain rate line, whereas cyclic deviator stress ([Formula: see text]) mainly affects the initial [Formula: see text]. The influence of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on  the [Formula: see text] value of the waste mixture is incorporated in an empirical model, which enables prediction of the permanent deformation mechanism of SFS + CW + RC mixtures with wider-ranging amounts of RC and higher cyclic deviator stresses.

Published: March 2022

Thyroid dysfunction and diabetes are reported to be associated with depression. However, their role in the suicide risk in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare thyroid dysfunction and diabetes between suicide attempters and non-suicide attempters in a large sample of first-episode drug-naïve (FEND) MDD patients. A descriptive study was conducted on 1279 Chinese outpatients with a diagnosis of first-episode MDD. Their sociodemographic information, blood levels of thyroid hormones, glucose, lipids and body mass index (BMI) parameters were collected. The positive subscales of the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) were measured for psychotic, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Our results showed that compared with non-suicide attempters (P<0.01), suicide attempters had statistically higher scores on HAMD, HAMA and PANSS psychotic symptoms, as well as higher thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) serum levels, glucose, anti-thyroglobulin (A-TG), anti-thyroid peroxidase (A-TPO), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (all with P<0.001). Further logistic regression analysis indicated that suicide attempts were associated with MDD. These results revealed that TSH, A-TG, A-TPO, TC, TG and LDL-C may be promising biomarkers of suicide risk in MDD, implying the importance of regular assessment of blood glucose level and thyroid function parameters for suicide prevention, along with possible treatment for impaired thyroid function and diabetes for the suicide intervention in MDD patients. Such patients with abnormal blood sugar and TSH must undergo thorough screening for suicidal ideation.

Authors: Vyaselev R. A.
Published: March 2022

Kazan Medical Institute is one of the largest and oldest educational institutions in the country. It originated, as is known, as the medical faculty of Kazan University, founded in 1804. The development of the activities of the medical faculty in those days took place in difficult conditions of tsarist reaction. The faculty grew and expanded slowly. During 102 years of its actual existence until 1917 the medical faculty had produced only 4493 physicians. The social composition of the students was typical for that time - children of the nobility, large officials and merchants dominated. Children of workers and peasants were negligible. Among the students there were almost no Tatars, Chuvashs and Mordovians. Suffice it to say that in 100 years, only 19 doctors of Turkic and Tatar nationalities were graduated.

Published: March 2022

V. M. Bekhterev was one of the founders of the anatomico-physiological direction in psychiatry. His activity in this field was especially fruitful in Kazan. Here he completed his classic work "Brain and spinal cord pathways", which is a reference book for neuropathologists and psychiatrists up to now. Here he (partly with N. A. Mislavsky) carried out a number of original experimental studies of functions of different parts of brain and wrote many works on elucidation of the influence of cerebral cortex on innervation of heart, vessels, breathing, stomach, intestines, bladder, vagina, pupil muscles, activity of lacrimal and salivary glands. These works indicate that V.M. Bekhterev was one of the first in the world to deal with the question of cortical regulation of vegetative functions of visceral organs.

Authors: Fedorov V. V.
Published: March 2022

Among the extensive group of closed injuries of the abdominal organs, ruptures of the duodenum are quite rare. According to I. A. Krivorotov, this group of patients is 1% among those who have undergone closed injuries of the abdominal organs, since closed injuries of the duodenum are often combined with trauma to other abdominal organs. So, N. P. Alekseeva reports on a case of simultaneous rupture of the stomach, duodenum and pancreas. Most authors point to a high postoperative mortality rate in case of damage to the organs of the gastrointestinal tract (47%, according to B. A. Dmitriev). According to Kenu's combined statistics, out of 138 patients with subcutaneous ruptures of the duodenum, only 9 recovered. At the same time, surgery for a rupture of the retroperitoneal duodenum is associated with certain difficulties and differs in some peculiarities.

Published: March 2022

The abdominal form of ectopic pregnancy, according to A. D. Alovsky, occurs in 0.4%. The place for its development can be any part of the abdominal cavity, and the bed can be the intestines, omentum, peritoneum, stomach, liver and other organs. However, most often the place of localization of abdominal pregnancy is the Douglas space. At the same time, the fertilized egg is attached on one of the wide ligaments, or between the sacro-uterine ligaments. Sometimes in such cases, the fetus dies, mummifies and, encrusted in layers, turns into a fossilized one, which can be in the abdominal cavity for many years.

Analysis and knowledge of labor professions is a necessary prerequisite for long. study of the regime of work and rest. Only a thorough knowledge of the profession makes it possible to outline the correct methodology for professional selection. In the study of the profession, they mainly use three methods: observation, polling, and the synthetic labor method. Each of these methods has its own weaknesses. It must be assumed that the most accurate description of the profession is obtained when using a complex methodology, when combining the data of the labor method with interviews and observations. Our methodology was as follows: after spontaneous observations, we moved on to systematic observations, taking in our field of vision both a beginner and a tractor driver who had been trained in a certain process of work (plowing, disking, harvesting).

Aims: To evaluate a collaborative participation-based approach for two preschool students with multiple disabilities from the experience of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team, highlighting the perspective of the physical therapist. Methods: The phases of collaborative participation-based therapy were implemented: (a) collaborative relationships were developed and supported within the IEP teams, (b) collaborative meaningful physical recreation goals were developed for participation at school, (c) strengths and needs assessments, "Collaborative Process for Participation Goals," were conducted with IEP teams, (d) participation-based interventions were provided and included: holistic instruction, support of student engagement and child-initiated movement, (e) goal achievement and processes were evaluated. Use of technology for collaboration was encouraged. The physical therapist kept intervention logs and reflective journal. Interventions adhered to COVID-19 regulations. Goal achievement was measured using Goal Attainment Scaling. IEP team members completed questionnaires on their experiences. Results: One student met their goal and the second exceeded their goal. IEP team members' experiences were positive. Participation-based therapy facilitators included collaboration and flexibility and barriers included time constraints for collaboration and student medical status. Discussion: The use of participation-based therapy is meaningful, feasible, and acceptable to IEP teams. This study informs the implementation of collaborative participation-based therapy in preschool practice.

Access to Highly Functionalized Monocyclic Cyclopentenones via the Exploitation of Labile Silicon Tethered 1,7-Enynes
Authors:   , Gallagher Austin Gregory , Martinez-Solorio Dionicio
Published: March 2022

A diastereoselective, catalytic Co2(CO)8-mediated Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR) of siloxy- and silaza-tethered 1,7-enynes for the synthesis of cyclopentaoxasilinones and cyclopentazasilinones has been developed. Oxidation of the resulting labile tether delivers stereoenriched [beta]-alkylated cyclopentenones, which are inaccessible by intermolecular PKRs. Since its initial discovery in 1973, the intra- and intermolecular PKRs have been exemplified as a convergent, atom-economical, and fundamental reaction for the [2+2+1] synthesis of cyclopentenones. However, the intermolecular PKR has generally been limited to strained or symmetrical alkenes due to the difficulty controlling the alkene regio- and stereoselectivity. Therefore, a general stereoselective PKR strategy to access highly functionalized monocyclic cyclopentenones remains an unsolved challenge. Herein, we describe the use of 1,7- enynes bearing a removable silicon tether, that upon oxidation of the Si-C bond, gives rise to highly functionalized and stereoenriched monocyclic cyclopentenones. The utilization of secondary propargylic alcohols bearing an allylic olefin has led to unprecedented diastereoselectivity in the synthesis of cyclopentaoxasilinones bearing functionalizable handles that allow for the rapid introduction of stereochemical complexity and structural diversity around the cyclopentane core in upward of six (6) contiguous stereocenters. Experimental and computational investigations have shown a favorable secondary coordination of the pendant olefin to the acyclic cobalt atom of the dimeric catalyst Co2(CO)8. The discovery of the recoverable/reusable thioether, namely 4-fluorobenzyl(methyl)sulfide (4-FBnSMe), led to both a sharp increase in the yield and the dropping the catalytic loading of Co2(CO)8 from 100 mol% to as low as 2.5 mol% under 1atm of CO(g). To minimize the cost and risk of exposure to carbon monoxide gas, we developed the first two-chambered catalytic Pauson-Khand Reaction that utilizes ex-situ generated carbon monoxide gas (CORMs) from commercially available and cheap commodity chemicals. Multiple different known transition metal catalysts and CORMs have been shown to promote the reaction, showing the versatility of this cheaper and safer complementary method to produce cyclopentenones via the Pauson-Khand Reaction.
Probing Charge Density Wave Dynamics in TiSe₂ Using Ultrafast Electron Diffraction

Published: March 2022

The origin of the charge density wave (CDW) state in TiSe₂ has been under intense scrutiny since its discovery in 1976. Theoretical and experimental evidence of the origin of the CDW has been inconclusive, with findings in favor of either correlated electron effects such as the excitonic insulator mechanism, or conventional electron-phonon coupling mechanism, or the Jahn-Teller effect. The recent discovery of superconductivity upon application of pressure or doping with copper has renewed the interest in the material, as has the discovery of the chiral nature of the CDW, neither of which have an accepted theoretical explanation. We have used an ultrafast electron diffraction setup, that has been developed over the course of this thesis, to observe the ultrafast relaxation dynamics in thin (~50 nm) single crystals of TiSe₂. The dynamics are initiated by a 100 fs laser pump pulses that almost instantaneously excite the electronic subsystem and create a non-equilibrium state with highly excited electrons in the presence of cold ionic lattice. As the energetic electrons interact with ionic lattice of the crystal, the ultrafast electron diffraction method is used to monitor the electron-phonon relaxation dynamics. Both incoherent processes as well as the coherent breathing modes initiated along the van der Waals bonded layers are studied with time resolution of ~100 fs over several hundreds of picoseconds. The complex lattice dynamics are initiated by the photoinduced strain that originates from combination of thermoelastic effects due to lattice heating, displacive forces related to the sudden modification of electronic screening in the crystal, and non-thermal phase transitions initiated in the material. The above processes contribute to the complex relaxation dynamics observed through the changes in the instantaneous electron diffraction pattern. The dependence of the photoinduced strain on the pump laser fluence is monitored on picosecond timescale at low temperatures (TiSe₂ in CDW phase) and at room temperature (TiSe₂ in normal phase). The experimentally observed chirality of the CDW can be explained by the existence of a metastable chiral phase that can be accessed within a certain range of electronic temperatures. Our observed strain dynamics correlates with recent density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The DFT results reproduce the experimental findings without the need to invoke correlated electron effects such as the excitonic insulator condensate. Our results suggest that the chiral nature of the CDW as well as the observed non-thermal melting of the CDW under ultrafast laser excitation, could be explained solely through the modification of the electronic susceptibility at elevated temperatures. The findings in this work will stimulate further study of the chiral nature of charge ordering with possible future application of these phenomena in electronic devices and systems.
Hedonic Hunger and Quality of the Home Food Environment During Behavioral Weight Loss
Authors:   , Crane Nicole T. , Butryn Meghan L
Published: March 2022

The modern food environment is a known contributor to the obesity epidemic in the United States. In the current environment, many individuals experience hedonic hunger, which is a pleasure-based drive to consume palatable foods. The composition of the food environment, particularly one's home food environment (HFE), can predict eating behavior and diet quality. This study examined how hedonic hunger and the HFE changed among adults (N = 88) enrolled in behavioral weight loss (BWL) and investigated the relationship between the HFE, hedonic hunger, and weight change. This project tested novel hypotheses about hedonic hunger as a moderator and mediator of the relationship between baseline HFE, HFE improvements, and short- and long-term weight loss. Participants had weight measured in the research clinic and completed the Power of Food Scale (a measure of hedonic hunger) and a Home Food Inventory at Months 0, 6 (mid-treatment), 12 (post-treatment), and 24 (12-month follow-up). Results showed that hedonic hunger improved during treatment and reductions were sustained at long-term follow-up. Unhealthy refrigerator foods and total obesogenic foods also showed improvements during BWL, mostly during the active treatment period. Baseline hedonic hunger and HFE failed to predict short- or long-term weight loss, but their interaction was related to weight loss at 12 and 24 months. Poor HFE quality at baseline was associated with more weight loss amongst those with high baseline hedonic hunger, but less weight loss amongst those with low hedonic hunger. Improvements in hedonic hunger, but not the HFE, were associated with concurrent weight loss throughout treatment and follow-up. The hypothesis that hedonic hunger would mediate a relationship between HFE quality and weight change was not supported. Taken together, these findings suggest hedonic hunger and the HFE are modifiable during weight loss, and improvements to hedonic hunger can be sustained during follow-up. Individuals who have poor HFE quality and high reactivity to palatable food cues may benefit most from a BWL program.
Quasar Diversity From the Optical, UV, X-ray, and Time Domain

We use both multi-epoch spectroscopy and multi-wavelength data to develop our understanding of black hole accretion physics. We use the multi-epoch quasar spectra to determine how accurately single-epoch spectroscopy can locate quasars in emission-line parameter space to inform investigations where time-resolved spectroscopy is not available. We explore the improvements in the calculation of emission-line measurements that arise from using non-parametric information from many lines, utilizing reconstructions based on an independent component analysis applied to data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping project. We further examine multi-wavelength (particularly UV/X-ray) properties of 1378 quasars in order to link correlations in observed parameters to theoretical models of the physical mechanisms dominating quasars as a function of mass and accretion rate. The clarity of these correlations is improved when 1) similarly using reconstructions based on an independent component analysis, and 2) removing quasars expected to be intrinsically absorbed based on their spectral slopes in the X-ray and optical and between the X-ray and optical. Multi-epoch spectroscopy reveals that single-epoch results do not significantly change where quasars are located in CIV parameter space and do not have a significant impact on investigations of the global Baldwin Effect. Quasars with emission line properties indicative of higher L/LEdd are less variable, consistent with models with enhanced accretion disk density. In addition to using the traditional CIV parameter space measures of CIV EQW and blueshift, we define a "CIV ll distance" along a best-fit polynomial curve that incorporates information from both CIV parameters. The CIV ll distance may be a better indicator of L/LEdd than the CIV EQW or blueshift alone as those relationships are known to break down at the extrema. However, there is only a weak correlation with the X-ray spectral index, which is also expected to be a robust indicator of L/LEdd. We find no X-ray or optical trends in the direction perpendicular to the CIV distance that could be used to reveal differences in accretion disk, wind, or corona structure that could be widening the CIV EQW-blueshift distribution. A different parameter (such as metallicity) not traced by these data must come into play.
