Published: January 2020

Background

Wearable motion sensors are gaining popularity for monitoring free-living physical activity among people with Parkinson disease (PD), but more evidence supporting the accuracy and precision of motion sensors for capturing step counts is required in people with PD.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the accuracy and precision of 3 common consumer-grade motion sensors for measuring actual steps taken during prolonged periods of overground and treadmill walking in people with PD.

Methods

A total of 31 ambulatory participants with PD underwent 6-min bouts of overground and treadmill walking at a comfortable speed. Participants wore 3 devices (Garmin Vivosmart 3, Fitbit One, and Fitbit Charge 2 HR), and a single researcher manually counted the actual steps taken. Accuracy and precision were based on absolute and relative metrics, including intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots.

Results

Participants walked 628 steps over ground based on manual counting, and Garmin Vivosmart, Fitbit One, and Fitbit Charge 2 HR devices had absolute (relative) error values of 6 (6/628, 1.0%), 8 (8/628, 1.3%), and 30 (30/628, 4.8%) steps, respectively. ICC values demonstrated excellent agreement between manually counted steps and steps counted by both Garmin Vivosmart (0.97) and Fitbit One (0.98) but poor agreement for Fitbit Charge 2 HR (0.47). The absolute (relative) precision values for Garmin Vivosmart, Fitbit One, and Fitbit Charge 2 HR were 11.1 (11.1/625, 1.8%), 14.7 (14.7/620, 2.4%), and 74.4 (74.4/598, 12.4%) steps, respectively. ICC confidence intervals demonstrated low variability for Garmin Vivosmart (0.96 to 0.99) and Fitbit One (0.93 to 0.99) but high variability for Fitbit Charge 2 HR (–0.57 to 0.74). The Fitbit One device maintained high accuracy and precision values for treadmill walking, but both Garmin Vivosmart and Fitbit Charge 2 HR (the wrist-worn devices) had worse accuracy and precision for treadmill walking.

Conclusions

The waist-worn sensor (Fitbit One) was accurate and precise in measuring steps with overground and treadmill walking. The wrist-worn sensors were accurate and precise only during overground walking. Similar research should inform the application of these devices in clinical research and practice involving patients with PD.
Reducing Antibiotic Prescriptions for Urinary Tract Infection in Nursing Homes Using a Complex Tailored Intervention Targeting Nursing Home Staff: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Arnold Sif Helene , Jensen Jette Nygaard , Kousgaard Marius Brostrøm , Siersma Volkert , Bjerrum Lars , Holm Anne
Published: January 2020

BACKGROUND

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common reason for antibiotic prescription in nursing homes. Overprescription causes antibiotic-related harms in those who are treated and others residing within the nursing home. The diagnostic process in nursing homes is complicated with both challenging issues related to the elderly population and the nursing home setting. A physician rarely visits a nursing home for suspected UTI. Consequently, the knowledge of UTI and communication skills of staff influence the diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to describe a cluster randomized controlled trial with a tailored complex intervention for improving the knowledge of UTI and communication skills of nursing home staff in order to decrease the number of antibiotic prescriptions for UTI in nursing home residents, without changing hospitalization and mortality.

METHODS

The study describes an open-label cluster randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups and a 1:1 allocation ratio. Twenty-two eligible nursing homes are sampled from the Capital Region of Denmark, corresponding to 1274 nursing home residents. The intervention group receives a dialogue tool, and all nursing home staff attend a workshop on UTI. The main outcomes of the study are the antibiotic prescription rate for UTI, all-cause hospitalization, all-cause mortality, and suspected UTI during the trial period.

RESULTS

The trial ended in April 2019. Data have been collected and are being analyzed. We expect the results of the trial to be published in a peer-reviewed journal in the fall of 2020.

CONCLUSIONS

The greatest strengths of this study are the randomized design, tailored development of the intervention, and access to medical records. The potential limitations are the hierarchy in the prescription process, Hawthorne effect, and biased access to data on signs and symptoms through a UTI diary. The results of this trial could offer a strategy to overcome some of the challenges of increased antibiotic resistance and could have implications in terms of how to handle cases of suspected UTI.

Literacy: Promoting Sustainability in a Digital Society
Authors: Santos Ana Isabel , Serpa Sandro
Published: January 2020

We increasingly live simultaneously immersed in physical interactions and in a world where the digital dimension is present at various levels, such as the social, economic and political ones. In this context, the relationship between the digital world and Sustainability is pivotal. This aim of this paper is to discuss, in a reasoned manner, the importance of literacy in the promotion of sustainability in a digital society. For this purpose, the results of a literature review will be mobilized, as well as our 20 years of experience in teaching and research in the fields of sociology, education and organizations, without forgetting the publications that we have on similar topics, which will be, whenever heuristically relevant, mobilized to substantiate and justify the arguments presented herein. The conclusions show that, in a reality where the digital involves many of the life dimensions—for example, in the form of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0—the role of literacy and, in particular, digital literacy, are critical in the development of sustainability literacy. For this to be possible, significant training work must be carried out. Furthermore, it is not possible to assume that the access, the skills in its use and the benefits of this wonderful digital world will automatically be grasped and felt by all citizens, in an ideology that must be fought. Only in this way will it be possible to foster sustainability, which must necessarily be inclusive.

Published: January 2020

Previous research reported the role of nonenzymatic metmyoglobin (MetMb) and methemoglobin (MetHb) reduction in meat color; however, limited studies have characterized the cofactors involved in nonenzymatic reduction. The objective of this study was to characterize electron donors and carriers in nonenzymatic MetMb and MetHb reduction at various temperatures and postmortem muscle pHs in vitro. Methylene blue and cytochrome c (cyt-c) were evaluated as electron carriers and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form (NADH) and ascorbate were considered as electron donors. All combinations of electron donors and carriers were evaluated in the following order: NADH plus methylene blue, ascorbate plus methylene blue, NADH plus cyt-c, and ascorbate plus cyt-c. Spectrophotometry was utilized to monitor the rates of reduction. The results indicated that methylene blue was an effective electron carrier than cyt-c in the presence of NADH. Temperature and pH had cofactor-specific effects on nonenzymatic MetMb and MetHb reduction. Lower temperature resulted in an increased nonenzymatic MetMb reduction for methylene blue regardless of electron donor (ascorbate, P = 0.03, NADH, P = 0.04). As pH increased, MetHb reduction was enhanced in the presence of ascorbate plus cyt-c. Nonenzymatic MetHb reduction was numerically lower than nonenzymatic MetMb reduction in the presence of NADH plus methylene blue. In summary, in addition to NADH, the current in vitro research demonstrated that ascorbate plus cyt-c could contribute to nonenzymatic MetMb and MetHb reduction at meat-pH and storage temperature.

Inteligencia artificial en todo y para todos
Authors: Niebles Juan Carlos
Published: January 2020

Juan Carlos Niebles es un experto en inteligencia artificial, específicamente en visión por computadora. A través de esta entrevista nos hace reflexionar sobre la importancia que la inteligencia artificial tiene en nuestras vidas en la actualidad, así como la que puede llegar a tener, en rubros como la banca, cuestiones legales, temas de salud y diagnóstico, etcétera. Asimismo, plantea que todo tipo de tecnología, no sólo la inteligencia artificial, presenta ventajas y riesgos; que en este momento este tipo de inteligencia sólo es capaz de solucionar cuestiones muy específicas y que todavía está muy lejos de la inteligencia natural para adaptarse, aprender y realizar procesos cognitivos de manera avanzada y eficiente; pero que, en general, el beneficio potencial de la inteligencia artificial para los humanos es muy elevado.

No vivimos un tiempo de cambios, sino un cambio de tiempos. Esta trasformación del paradigma civilizatorio confronta las premisas del pasado. La nueva civilización se caracteriza por el desarrollo tecnológico-científico; así, el filósofo Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) la prefiguró en un mundo en el que las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación darían como resultado un cambio social, que al acotar la distancia permitiría el intercambio con lugares remotos en tiempo real.
FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF FAST DISSOLVING TABLETS OF ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUG
Authors: Akhtar Md. Semimul
Published: January 2020

The objective of the present study was to prepare and evaluate the mouth dissolving tablet of lacosamide using super disintegrants like Guar Gum, and other excipients like microcrystalline cellulose and mannitol in different concentrations by direct compression method. Lacosamide has been shown to be an effective antiepileptic agent appropriate for epilepsy patients. The mouth dissolving tablets were prepared by a single punch machine using a powder blend of super disintegrants and lacosamide. Post-compression parameters like hardness, weight variation, friability, in-vitro dispersion, drug content uniformity, and in-vitro drug release studies were carried out for all formulations. All formulations results were within official limits. Fast disintegration time obtained between 35 sec. and 128 sec, was within the official limit. Different drug release kinetic models were applied for selecting batches for stability studies. These showed that there was no significant change in residual drug content in mouth dissolving tablets. By the in-vitro disintegration, it is concluded that formulation prepared by Guar Gum (10%) showed faster disintegration time than that of MCC. This indicates that the use of super disintegrants increases the release of drug from the formulation. Therefore, it can be concluded that such mouth dissolving tablets are suitable delivery systems for lacosamide.

Predicción de la pérdida de la cobertura vegetal por aumento de áreas urbanas en Iquitos, Perú
Authors: Palacios Vega Juan José , Zárate-Gómez Ricardo , Minaya Vela Reynaldo Javier , Martín Brañas Manuel , Benavides Rios Julinho Edilberto
Published: January 2020

La pérdida del bosque amazónico ocasionada por el crecimiento de las ciudades afecta de manera directa al clima, generando islas de calor en áreas urbanas y un deterioro o pérdida de hábitats naturales de especies de flora y fauna en áreas periurbanas. No existe mucha información espacial sobre los cambios de cobertura vegetal ocasionados por el crecimiento urbano, ni sobre sus efectos en un mediano y largo plazo, a pesar que el conocimiento de estos cambios es fundamental para la planificación y la gestión del territorio urbano y rural. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar un escenario de predicción para la pérdida del bosque en la ciudad de Iquitos al 2029. Para ello se procesaron en Google Earth Engine (GEE) datos del Índice de Vegetación de Diferencia Normalizada (NDVI) de imágenes Landsat del periodo 1999 y 2018, lo que permitió, aplicando Redes Neuronales Artificiales y Autómatas Celulares, generar un escenario para el año 2029. El principal cambio para el año 2029 se corresponde con las categorías de “vegetación no intervenida” y “construido”, pronosticando una pérdida de 375 ha en el primero y un aumento de 318 ha en el segundo. Se concluye que GEE permite obtener datos procesados de imágenes de satélite que son útiles y efectivos, los escenarios obtenidos fueron moderados y sustanciales, con una tendencia a la pérdida de la vegetación por aumento de la categoría “construido” en la ciudad de Iquitos y alrededores.
Ser compañeras o ser amigas en un bachillerato mexicano: prácticas situadas y género
Authors: Porras Oropeza María Kenia , Saucedo Ramos Claudia Lucy
Published: January 2020

En la presente investigación se analizó la delimitación que hacen las estudiantes de bachillerato para señalar quiénes son sus compañeras y quiénes sus amigas, y su importancia en las rutinas y actividades en el bachillerato. A partir de la psicología sociocultural y la perspectiva de género feminista se elaboró un diseño que incluyó la observación en el aula y la realización de 5 entrevistas cualitativas individuales y 10 grupales con mujeres estudiantes de quinto y sexto semestre de un bachillerato público mexicano. Se identificaron los contextos situados de práctica, y las actividades en las cuales las estudiantes participan como compañeras o amigas en las que el género jugaba un papel central. Se encontró que tanto el compañerismo como la amistad eran valorados positivamente por las estudiantes y que en la amistad despliegan prácticas con una fuerte empatía e intimidad que les permite integrarse como mujeres, estudiantes y jóvenes en el bachillerato. Se discute que en el compañerismo y la amistad las estudiantes muestran habilidades para conseguir interrelaciones de respeto, convivencia, apoyo y sororidad que incluyen el reconocimiento de autoridad femenina y el acompañamiento corporal.

Diversidade, migrações e inclusão: desafios à gestão e à democracia
Authors: Moll Jaqueline , Barbosa Márcia Carmen Silveira
Published: January 2020

Os desafios da educação são desafios de toda sociedade. No contexto da própria afirmação democrática e de nossa capacidade de viver juntos está o do aprendizado da diversidade e o do acolhimento de imigrantes. Em um país como o Brasil, que tem nas suas matrizes povos originários renegados, povos trazidos como escravos e imigrantes, há um caminho a ser construído que precisa dialogar com a capacidade de ressignificar o passado e reescrever o presente, para que o futuro – como dizia Paulo Freire – possa ser transformado. A escola pública brasileira tem enfrentado muitos temas, um deles é o da diversidade. Inicialmente, é construir o sentido de pertencimento para/com os sujeitos do campo e também das regiões urbanas, o que inclui crianças, jovens e adultos com sua diversidade de histórias pessoais e coletivas, em sua raça, religião, gênero, opções políticas, ideologias. Não tem sido uma tarefa fácil nem para os professores, nem para as famílias, nem mesmo para os próprios sujeitos da educação. Há um caldo cultural de xenofobia e de outras fobias, que é preciso identificar, compreender e enfrentar. Nos últimos anos, há uma provocação às escolas brasileiras, especialmente as públicas: o tema das novas migrações. Chegam ao país moradores de toda a América Latina, especialmente haitianos, bolivianos, colombianos e venezuelanos. Da América Central vieram os haitianos, da África os congoleses e angolanos, e da Ásia ocidental estão chegando os sírios (ACNUR, Brasil, 2019). Como a escola, a comunidade educativa, o sistema educacional pode se organizar para acolher essa diversidade? Como afirmar a diversidade em um contexto social e político que fomenta a intolerância e aprofunda desigualdades econômicas? Compartilhar experiências de gestão educacional pública que acolham a diferença e as migrações é o objetivo desta entrevista, além de outros temas relevantes para a educação pública. No contexto da Escuela de Verano do Instituto Rosa Sensat de formação de professores, em julho de 2019, Jaqueline Mol, professora titular da UFRGS, professora do PPGEDU/ URI e do PPGEC/UFRGS e Maria Carmen Silveira Barbosa, professora titular da UFRGS, professora no PPGEDU/UFRGS e editora da Revista Infância Latinoamericana realizaram esta entrevista com o professor Miquel Essomba, secretário Municipal de Educação de Barcelona, desde 2015.

Influence of the Consideration of Future Consequences on Financial Behavior: The Case of Japanese Individual Investors
Authors: Toru Suehiro  , Koichi Takeda  , Takashi Kozu  , Toshihiko TAKEMURA
Published: January 2020

We analyze the impact of the “consideration of future consequences” (CFC) on the amount of financial assets and the liabilities of individual investors by applying a Tobit model to data from a web-based survey. We find that impatient individuals with high CFC have fewer deposits and financial asset balances. We also examine the influence of the CFC-immediate (CFC-I) and CFC-future (CFC-F) sub-indicators often used in psychology as well as CFC on financial asset balances and liabilities. CFC-I show concern with immediate consequences and also an index related to ego depletion. We find that the higher the CFC-I, the lower the amount of deposits and financial asset balances. However, CFC-F is a sub-indicator designating lack of concern with future consequences; thus, the higher the CFC-F, the larger the debt.
â€œEnvironmental Economics for a Sustainable Developmentâ€ Evaluation of Environmental and Recreational Values of the Area Lezhe â€“Shengjin using Indirect Approximate Method â€œHedonic Price Methodâ€
Authors: IMERAJ C. Erinda , . Ing. Zef IMERAJ
Published: January 2020

The area of the project Lezhe â€“Shengjin has a combination of recreational tourism and industry development. Promotion of tourism and environmental values of Lezha is a bold undertaking for a region with a diversity of values. Stable ecological development impacts directly in the development of the inhabited area and in the standards of it, while reflecting also in the home prices. Project aims to identify and to study the basic areas of the ecosystem and to present the impact that has the environment to the economy, by analyzing of the home prices of those, their diversity and changes. Methodology that the project will use is based on an indirect approximate method â€œHedonic Price Methodâ€. The base of these methods lies on questioners made face to face with the residents of the region and a considerable part of the data collection would be the collaboration with the commune and municipality administration offices of the region. Firstly, the project members will identify specifically services and environmental goods that the project will assess. Meanwhile, the meeting with the head officer of the commune would be planned and a contract of collaboration with his office would be signed. An important phase of the project will be the preparation of the questioners, on which behalf, the project members are selected. It is considered to prepare around 2000 Surveys for t h e respective method for areas of the targeted region, Lezhe and Shengjin. Getting the result of the indirect method that will be used, as mentioned, would need the data collection of the surveys and the data taken officially from the commune of Shengjin and Municipality of Lezha. During the data collection period the project members will consider also several meetings with real estate offices of the region and ecological NGOs. All data collected will be considered to be analyzed due to â€œHedonic Price Methodâ€ and the expected results are considered to conclude in direct relations between the high ecosystem standards and relatively high competitive home prices. As well the result would be a good guide for the evaluation of the agency investments. Result of the project will firstly be presented to the interest group and then will be presented at scientific seminars and conferences within and outside the country and will serve as a starting point for further studies related to this field of study. Key results would provide good material to be firstly presented and published in scientific journals.

STUDI ANALSIS KEBUTUHAN LIFT THE FLAP BOOK SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN UNTUK MENGURANGI PERILAKU GADGET ADDICTION PADA SISWA TINGKAT DASAR
Authors: Endah Puspitasari Dewi
Published: January 2020

Gadgets have now become the daily necessities of modern society, ranging from laptops, tablets to smartphones. The survey (theAsian Parent Insight with Samsung Kidstime: 2014) states that 98% of children in Southeast Asia have used a smartphone / tablet. The high intensity of the use of gadgets by children to play games and access video content is certainly a problem in itself. If in the past children often spend their free time playing with friends, studying and reading books, now children prefer to spend their time playing gadgets. Though the end of childhood (elementary school children) is an important time to interact with friends. Activities to interact with friends include playing in groups. Play is important for the physical, psychological, and social development of children. By playing in groups, children interact with friends so they can provide valuable lessons for children to tolerate with fellow friends. (Rita Eka Izzaty, et al., 2008: 112). This research is to find out: 1) the length of time using a gadget by elementary school students, 2) the content that is accessed when using a gadget. This research uses qualitative research. The conclusion is that the flap book lift can be used as a learning medium to reduce the behavior of gadget addiction in elementary level students.

Authors: Omer Shano Abdulrahman , Amin Saber Dlir
Published: January 2020

Physiochemical and rheological properties of local wheat cultivars were studied to determine and develop their relationship to baking quality of white layer cake. The investigation carried out via studying four different wheat cultivars  (Adana, Sham 6, Tamooz 2, and Slemani 2), and comparing to a locally produced flour (from Sulaimani Cereal Milling Company) as control. According to physical parameters, the highest value were obtained by Slemani 2, and in terms of falling number control also recorded the highest. In regards to chemical composition (such as; Protein, Fat, Ash, and Moisture) the greatest values were reported by (Tamooz 2, Sham 6, Adana, and Slemani 2) respectively.
