OBJECTIVES:

To estimate (1) the proportion of children not adhering to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended early childhood immunization schedule and (2) associations between schedule adherence, sociodemographic characteristics, and up-to-date immunization status by 19 to 35 months of age.

METHODS:

We used 2014 National Immunization Survey provider-verified vaccination data to classify vaccination patterns as “recommended” (ie, in line with ACIP dose- and age-specific recommendations), “alternate” (ie, in line with either limiting the number of shots per visit or skipping at least 1 vaccine series), or “unknown or unclassifiable” (ie, not in line with ACIP recommendations or clearly limiting shots per visit or vaccine series). We evaluated the association between vaccination patterns and up-to-date status for all ACIP-recommended vaccinations (including rotavirus and hepatitis A vaccines) using Poisson regression.

RESULTS:

The majority of children’s patterns were classified as “recommended” (63%), with 23% and 14% following alternate or unknown or unclassifiable patterns, respectively; 58% of children were up-to-date with all ACIP-recommended immunizations by 19 to 35 months. Not being up-to-date was associated with alternate (prevalence ratio = 4.2, 95% confidence interval: 3.9–4.5) and unknown or unclassifiable (prevalence ratio = 2.4, 95% confidence interval: 2.2–2.7) patterns.

CONCLUSIONS:

High vaccine coverage by 19 to 35 months of age may miss nonadherence to the recommended immunization schedule in the first 18 months of life, leaving children vulnerable to preventable diseases. With more than one-third of US children not following the ACIP schedule, targeted interventions are needed to minimize vaccine delays and disease susceptibility.

CONTROL WITH REDUCING OF DISTURBING FACTORS
Authors: Sheptun Yuri Dmitrievich , Spirkin Sergey Viktorovich
Published: February 2020

The structural and dynamic features of the space (moving outside the dense layers of the atmosphere) stages of rockets - carriers of spacecraft as control objects are analyzed. The reasons are investigated - disturbing factors that generate external forces and moments that determine the disturbed motion of space rocket stages. For space rocket stages, disturbing factors are: mass asymmetry of the stage relative to its longitudinal axis and angle of mismatch of the line of action of the thrust vector of the propulsion system of the stage with the longitudinal axis of the stage. It is shown that when using the stage control deviating in the hinge of the marching engine as the executive organs of the control system, the effect of auto-reduction of the mentioned disturbing factors arises. The consequence of the autocompensation of disturbing factors is the reduction of disturbing forces and moments that violate the programmed motion of the step in the pitch and yaw planes. Mass asymmetry and the angle of mismatch of the line of action of the thrust vector of its engine and the longitudinal axis of magnitude are constant. Therefore, a decrease in perturbing forces and moments is accompanied by a decrease in the amount of energy (fuel) spent on processing (zeroing) perturbations of the parameters of the perturbed motion of the stage. It is shown that if the thrust of a space-stage engine is 8000 kgf, the engine operating time (flight time of the stage) is 500 sec, the specific engine thrust is 330 sec, the mass asymmetry is 0.05 m, the angle of mismatch is 0.25 degrees, then fuel economy can reach 200 kgf. The studies were performed using mathematical modeling methods.

Published: February 2020

The article analyzes the current state of development of information technologies of psychometric state of the person, features of definition of mental states of the person and methods of observation of changes of the state of the person. The analysis of information technologies of decision support in monitoring tasks concerning the state of the person is carried out. Eysenck computer test information technology has been developed. The results of the tests tested using Eysenck's computer psychometric testing were conducted. According to the test results, algorithms for secondary processing of test results were developed during testing several times and during the process of monitoring the subjects. Based on the results of the study, information technology for decision support in personality monitoring tasks was developed based on the Eysenck computer version of the test. According to the results of the study it is determined that it is necessary to use different approaches to be processing the test results, which will confirm the sincerity of the subject. Therefore, the article discusses several criteria for determining the quality of test results and their sincerity. It has been determined that computer-based psychometric monitoring is aimed at objectively assessing changes in mental state based on the results of retesting. The research in the tasks of monitoring the mental state of a person is to apply the processing of statistical psychometric measurements (initial processing of test results), quantitative assessment of changes in psychometric parameters and identify their trends in long-term observation. Data from such measurements indirectly contain information about changes in the mental state of the subject.
Fully Human Being
Authors: Poller Jake
Published: February 2020

In Island (1962), Aldous Huxley presents a utopian community in which theinhabitants aim to become "fully human beings" by realizing their "potentialities."I demonstrate how Huxley's notion of the "human potentialities" havebeen misrepresented, both by scholars and by the founders of the Esalen Institute.Huxley's focus on human potentialities arose from a shift in his thinkingfrom the other-worldly mysticism of The Perennial Philosophy (1945) to thelife-affirming traditions of Tantra, Zen and Mahayana Buddhism. In Island,the population attempt to realize their human potentialities and engage in anexperiential spirituality that celebrates the body and nature as sacred throughthe use of the moksha-medicine and the practice of maithuna. I argue thatwhereas Tantric adepts practised maithuna as a means to acquire supernormalpowers (siddhis), in Island the Palanese version of maithuna is quite differentand is used to valorize samsara and the acquisition of human potentialities.
Naming and the reconstruction of female identity in Bette-Obudu
Authors: Betiang Liwhu
Published: February 2020

This study suggests a theoretical connection between Bette given maiden name at birth, which tends to circumscribe the child’s psyche in the exclusive cast of future wife or mother; and the resultant personal identity of the adult woman in compliance or deviance. Using French feminist psychoanalytical critical theory which perceives sex roles and gender as patriarchal cultural constructs through the agency of language, the study rearticulates Bette-Obudu female names as ‘embodied’ signifiers that may have future identity consequences on the name-bearers in the contemporary world of multi-tasking. Using a purposive sample of 74 maiden names from the five Bette speaking communities, I argue, using qualitative ethnographic analysis, that these manipulative naming practices (re)construct the girl-child’s self-concept and self-image in some future time; finding further that a combination of neo-colonial religions, the 21st-century marriage institution and cultural traditions among Bette people may be contributory to name mutations and the creation of deviance. Significantly, female naming tradition among Bette people tends to ‘pre-fix’ the girl-child along patriarchal designs, thereby making the contemporary Bette woman appear marginal to other concerns of postmodern imperatives.

Validation of Wearable Devices to Measure Energy Consumption
Authors: Ryu Ji-Soo , Park Jung-Jun
Published: February 2020

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to verify how accurately wearable devices measure energy expenditure while walking outdoors.METHODS A total of 20 people, 10 healthy males and 10 females, participated in the study. After approval by the Institutional Review Board of Pusan National University, the experiment was conducted with the consent of the subject. All subjects wore four wearable devices (Fitbit Surge, Android Phone, iPhone, pedometer) and a portable gas analyzer simultaneously and walked on flat, downhill and uphill road respectively. All subjects repeated these experiments on each slope three times. The validity was verified through correlation analyses and paired t-test between the energy expenditure measured by the wearable devices and by a portable gas analyzer.RESULTS Under all three road slopes (flat, downhill, uphill road), the energy expenditure as measured by iPhone, Android phones, and pedometer significantly correlated with the portable gas analyzer. However, all three devices were significantly overestimated or underestimated the energy expenditure as compared to the gas analyzer under all three road slopes. Fitbit Surge did not correlate with the gas analyzer for measuring energy expenditure under any conditions, and significantly overestimated energy expenditure.CONCLUSION The validity of energy expenditure measurement during outdoor activities using wearable devices is still low, and more valid motion detection sensors and algorithms need to be developed.

Published: February 2020

Renal allograft recipients are at greater risk of developing tuberculosis than the general population. A woman with a kidney transplant was admitted to the emergency department with high temperature, dysphonia, odynophagia, and asthenia. The final diagnosis was laryngeal tuberculosis. Multidisciplinary collaboration enabled accurate diagnosis and successful treatment. Laryngeal tuberculosis should be considered in renal allograft recipients with hoarseness. A more rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis in renal transplant recipients is desirable when the site involved, such as the larynx, exhibits specific manifestations and the patient exhibits specific symptoms. In these cases, prognosis is excellent, and with adequate treatment, a complete recovery is often achieved.

Authors: Müller Jochen , Schuhmann Roland
Published: February 2020

Im Reliability Center der BASF werden aktuell Zustände von etwa 300 kritischen Pumpen, Vakuumpumpen und Kompressoren analysiert und überwacht. Diese Zahl soll in den nächsten Jahren deutlich wachsen. Dagegen spricht der zunehmende Aufwand für die Integration der Maschinendaten in Asset-Management-Anwendungen. Eine Lösung bietet eine Verwaltungsschale für Pumpen und Vakuumpumpen, die die VDMA-Fachverbände „Pumpen + Systeme“ und „Kompressoren, Druckluft- und Vakuum­technik“ spezifiziert haben. Sie macht Pumpen und Vakuumpumpen zu Teilnehmern in der Industrie-4.0-Informationswelt und beschreibt deren Funktionen und Informationen unabhängig von Hersteller, Pumpentyp und Applikation. Auf der NAMUR-Hauptsitzung 2019 wurden Nutzenszenarien der Verwaltungsschale durch eine konfigurationsfreie Anbindung verschiedener Typen von Pumpen und Vakuumpumpen in Cloud-basierten Monitoring-Anwendungen demonstriert.

“So I Won’t Go to Jail”: Year Two of a PROMUNDO-Adapted Program to Eradicate Gender-Based Violence
Authors: Powell-Williams Todd , Foley Allison , Davies Kim
Published: February 2020

This paper presents evaluation results of a PROMUNDO-adapted program enacted to reduce gender-based violence among preadolescent boys.  Outcomes that are examined include promoting critical thinking regarding masculinity, aggression, and violence; fostering skills necessary for effective communication, prosocial emotional expression, and non-violent conflict resolution.  While quantitative findings in this small sample do not indicate statistically significant results, qualitative analyses indicate that participants were better equipped to express their emotions, particularly anger, and to resolve conflict in non-violent ways that may slow the school-to-prison pipeline.

Published: February 2020

Monitoring temporal variations of 18O and 2H isotopes in precipitation, groundwater and surface water was performed in the region of Kakheti (East Georgia). Data were collected from three meteorological stations at altitudes between 400 - 1,100 m a.s.l., from two shallow and one deep hydrogeological boreholes, and from two surface water monitoring stations (Alazani River and Patmasuri karstic stream). 18O values in precipitation show an annual variation between -22 ‰ and +1 ‰ and a distinct altitude effect. A clear correlation exists between the seasonal isotope composition of precipitation, shallow groundwater and surface water. A five-fold amplitude dampening and a delay of 10-15 days was observed. The data show that precipitation in the Caucasus Mountains to the North infiltrates into the Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous karstic aquifer and travels to the Alazani valley towards south-east. The isotopic signature of winter precipitation is reflected in stream water as well as in shallow groundwater isotope data of groundwater in a 2,000-m-deep hydrogeological borehole at Heretiskari show a distinctly different character with δ18O ranging between -2.8 ‰ to -2.2 ‰ and a deuterium excess of -25 ‰.

The fishes used were red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and short-bodied mackerel (Scomberomorus rastrelliger), using ozone and slurry ice. The experimental design used was factorial using a completely randomized design employed with an ozone concentration of 0 ppm and 3.5 ppm with storage times of 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 days. The parameters observed included: peroxide value (PV), total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), total viable count (TVC), and a sensory test. The parametric data were analyzed using ANOVA and followed by least significant difference (LSD), whereas the non-parametric data were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test followed by multiple comparison tests. Ozone and slurry ice treatment of different concentrations had a significant (p<0.05) effect on the TVBN, the PV, and the TVC. The interaction of ozone and slurry ice provided no significant  difference (p>0.05) in both samples.A sensory evaluation in both samples showed good correlation with TVC. This study showed that ozone and slurry ice could  maintain the samples freshness during storage.
Rethinking Major League Baseball’s Antitrust Exemption
Authors: Blair Roger D. , Wang Wenche
Published: February 2020

For nearly a century, Major League Baseball (MLB) has enjoyed antitrust immunity. No other sports league or organization is similarly exempt. Shielded by precedent from antitrust prosecution, MLB clubs are free to exploit both monopolistic and monopsonistic power. In this paper, we call for a repeal of MLB’s antitrust exemption. In doing so, we examine some recent antitrust challenges to MLB conduct, the current interest of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission in labor market issues, the welfare consequences of the exemption, and a policy recommendation for legislative action.

Authors: Brown Sarah M. , Brison Natasha T.
Published: February 2020

The use and integration of wearable technology (wearables) into professional sports is increasing rapidly. At a minimum, the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS have all integrated wearables into their training. Teams’ hope the biometric data obtained from the wearables will sharpen athletic performance, create competitive advantages, enhance fan experience, and generate new revenue streams. However, to obtain these desired outcomes leagues must adequately protect their athlete’s biometric data (ABD).  The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the CBAs of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS management of wearables and ABD. Specifically, this paper will discuss the potential gaps in protection of ABD within the CBA and explore whether federal and state laws are applicable to protect the data. Findings from this analysis improve our understanding of professional sport leagues management of ABD and expose the limitations of protection at the league, state, and federal level.
Uma proposta de significado para o efeito vinculante
Authors: Pugliese William Soares
Published: February 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo examinar a crítica formulada contra a teoria dos precedentes vinculantes, partindo de seu núcleo: a afirmação de que, pela Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil, somente o Poder Legislativo pode editar preceitos abstratos e de caráter geral. No entanto, o trabalho examina a explicação de Norberto Bobbio acerca dos elementos da abstração e da generalidade, concluindo que o Poder Judiciário também tem legitimidade para emanar atos com essas características. Apesar dessa conclusão, a crítica força um exame mais apurado do regime constitucional do efeito vinculante e de quais decisões oriundas da jurisdição podem possuí-lo. Ao final, o artigo propõe uma definição para o efeito vinculante, examinando suas três partes: uma vez decidido após análise cuidadosa, um caso deve ser tratado como se tivesse sido resolvido de uma vez por todas, a não ser que se possa demonstrar ter surgido um elemento especial que exija reconsideração.
Justiça intergeracional e riscos globais: quem são as gerações futuras e por que protegê-las hoje?
Authors: Jacobsen Gilson
Published: February 2020

Este estudo enfrenta a temática das futuras gerações e busca esclarecer por que sua proteção se dá ao nível constitucional. Também trata dos riscos de toda ordem, muitos dos quais globais e gerados pelo próprio ser humano, que ameaçam as gerações vindouras em sua existência ou qualidade de vida futura. Finalmente, investiga a razão e a importância do conceito de justiça intergeracional na atualidade. Conclui ser sempre necessária uma visão holística e transdisciplinar da realidade para bem se compreender o compromisso que a geração presente tem para com aquelas que ainda se encontram no porvir, e que não é tão simples afirmar quem são, afinal, as futuras gerações. A investigação, o tratamento dos dados e a elaboração do relato desta pesquisa são realizados com base no método indutivo.
A terceirização no âmbito da administração pública federal: o Decreto 9.507/2018 é constitucional?
Authors: Bertoncini Mateus , Calabrese Simão Isabella
Published: February 2020

Recentemente afloraram no Brasil discussões a respeito da terceirização devido às significativas alterações causadas pela Reforma Trabalhista. Isso porque as Leis 13.429/2017 e 13.467/2017 possibilitaram o uso do instituto de forma ampla no setor privado. Diante desse novo cenário, muito se tem discutido também sobre a aplicabilidade do modelo no setor público, tendo em vista algumas limitações constitucionais, dentre elas o princípio do concurso público. Posto isso, por intermédio de pesquisa bibliográfica e do método dedutivo, pretende-se analisar a constitucionalidade do Decreto 9.507/2018, que definiu a terceirização no âmbito da Administração Pública Federal.
Do contrato liberal ao contrato existencial: a mudança de paradigmas na hermenêutica contratual
Authors: Engelmann Wilson , Pinheiro Basan Arthur , De Cores Helgera Carlos José
Published: February 2020

O presente trabalho visa demonstrar a possibilidade de uma distinção contratual que consiga garantir melhor tutela à vida humana, afastando esse instituto jurídico da mera análise patrimonialista clássica e aproximando-o da luz das normas fundamentais que ilumina todo o sistema jurídico contemporâneo, por meio da consideração do contrato como “existencial”. Para tanto, foi feita a análise das mudanças paradigmáticas na hermenêutica contratual, passando inicialmente do paradigma liberal para, finalmente, sob a ótica da eficácia expansiva dos direitos fundamentais, apresentar os fundamentos que apoiam o contrato existencial.
A substituição do passe pela cláusula penal desportiva
Authors: Diniz Maria Helena , Lacerda Pena Sakahida Marinilce
Published: February 2020

O poder constituinte originário, na Carta Magna brasileira de 1988, elencou um rol de direitos individuais e coletivos, entre os quais, o direito à prática esportiva, que está presente no artigo 217. Entretanto, a principal fonte de análise quando estudamos o Direito Desportivo Futebolístico no Brasil é, sem dúvida, a Lei nº 9.615/98, mais conhecida como Lei Pelé. Apesar desta legislação regulamentar todas as modalidades desportivas, foi, por seu intermédio, que se inovaram diversos institutos jurídicos do Direito Desportivo relacionados ao futebol, como, por exemplo, a substituição do passe pela cláusula penal e as subespécies de atletas; bem como foi por influência dos efeitos da Lei Pelé no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro que houve uma forte mudança na cultura organizacional futebolística global, o que constitui, portanto, um divisor de águas da história do futebol. Neste cenário, o objeto de nossa pesquisa serão os reflexos da extinção do passe e os impactos causados às entidades clubistas e aos atletas sob a perspectiva da relação do atleta jogador de futebol com a entidade clubista a ser regulada por meio do contrato de ordem civilista e não trabalhista.

Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of single high-dose versus double high-dose intracoronary bolus tirofiban in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 80 patients, who were admitted to our clinic and underwent primary PCI, were included in this observational cohort study. The patients were divided into the single high-dose group (n = 40) and the double high-dose group (n = 40) according to the intracoronary bolus tirofiban regime. The primary endpoint was assumed as the incidence of major adverse cardiac event (s) (MACE) defined as all-cause mortality and repeat coronary revascularization (target vessel revascularization [TVR]) at 30 days. MACE and bleeding events were evaluated at 7 and 30 days. Results: The primary endpoint was not significantly different between the single and the double high-dose groups (40.0% vs. 17.5%, p = 0.994). However, a significantly lower 30-day TVR rate was observed in the double high-dose group (27.5% vs. 7.5%, p = 0.019). No significant difference was observed in terms of 30-day all-cause mortality between the two groups (12.5% vs. 10.0%, p = 0.712). Major bleeding events were not observed in any group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that CRUSADE score (Hazard ratio [HR]: 5.721; 95% CI: 2.036 to 16.073, p = 0.001) and platelet count (HR: 1.009; 95% CI: 1.000 to 1.018, p = 0.048) were the independent predictors of bleeding at 7 days. Conclusions: Double high-dose intracoronary bolus tirofiban in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI was associated with significantly lower 30-day TVR rates without an increase in bleeding events. However, it did not significantly affect MACE and all-cause mortality rates.
Creating Multimodal Reflections in an IEP Speaking-Listening Course
Authors: Macknish Cynthia J.
Published: February 2020

Reflection is a crucial element in service-learning and having English as a second language (ESL) students create multimodal reflections on their service-learning experience helps them develop multiliteracies and results in learning that is authentic and meaningful as students engage in social discourse while they develop their academic language and digital skills. Research indicates that integrating multimodal projects in ESL courses has the capacity to promote collaboration and learner autonomy, and improve motivation, self-confidence, and language skills. That said, the purpose for integrating multimodality should be clear, and explicit teaching, scaffolding, monitoring, and feedback are necessary for success. In addition, there are challenges to address. In this article, procedures for creating multimodal reflections using Adobe Spark are explained with reference to learners in an Intensive English Program (IEP) service-learning context, and suggestions are shared on how teachers of all levels can adopt and modify the project for different contexts. Challenges are discussed and assessment tools are presented.

La réflexion étant un élément essentiel du domaine de l’apprentissage par l’expérience axé sur la communauté, il est important que les apprenantes et apprenants d’anglais langue seconde (ESL) créent des réflexions multimodales sur leur expérience d’apprentissage par l’expérience pour les aider à développer des littératies multiples et à acquérir des connaissances authentiques et significatives au moment où ils se socialisent en développant leur expression académique et leurs compétences numériques. Les recherches indiquent que l’intégration de projets multimodaux dans les cours d’anglais langue seconde a le pouvoir de favoriser la collaboration et l’autonomie des apprenantes et apprenants en plus d’en améliorer la motivation, la confiance en soi et les compétences linguistiques. Cela dit, l’objectif de l’intégration de l’intermodalité doit être clairement établi, et le succès de l’entreprise dépendra du caractère explicite de l’enseignement, de l’échafaudage, du suivi et de la rétroaction. Qui plus est, il y a des défis à relever. Dans le présent article, les procédures liées à la création de réflexions multimodales à l’aide d’Adobe Spark sont expliquées en lien avec les apprenantes et apprenants dans un contexte d’apprentissage par l’expérience dans le cadre d’un programme intensif d’anglais (IEP), et des suggestions sont partagées sur la manière dont les enseignantes et enseignants de tous les niveaux peuvent adopter et modifier le projet afin de l’adapter à divers contextes. Des défis sont discutés et des outils d’évaluation sont présentés.
Forward Link Optimization for the Design of VHTS Satellite Networks
Authors: Ortiz-Gomez Flor G. , Martínez Ramón , Salas-Natera Miguel A. , Cornejo Andrés , Landeros-Ayala Salvador
Published: February 2020

The concept of geostationary VHTS (Very High Throughput Satellites) is based on multibeam coverage with intensive frequency and polarization reuse in addition to the use of larger bandwidths in the feeder links, in order to provide high capacity satellite links at a reduced cost per Gbps in orbit. The dimensioning and design of satellite networks based on VHTS imposes the analysis of multiple trade-offs to achieve an optimal solution in terms of cost, capacity and figure of merit of the user terminal. In this paper, we propose a new method for sizing VHTS satellite networks based on an analytical expression of the forward link CINR (Carrier-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio) that is used to evaluate the trade-off of different combinations of system parameters. The proposed method considers both technical and commercial requirements as inputs including the constraints to achieve the optimum solution in terms of the user G/T, the number of beams and the system cost. The cost model includes both satellite and ground segments. Exemplary results are presented with feeder links using Q/V bands, DVB-S2X and transmission methods based on CCM and VCM (Constant and Variable Coding and Modulation, respectively) in two scenarios with different service areas.

Published: February 2020

Chemical variability in the components of T. vogelii essential oils from eastern Uganda was identified using principal component analysis (PCA) and Agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC). Based on the profiles of the compounds of farnesene family three chemotypes were found: farnesol (chemotype 1), springene (β- Springene and α-Springene) and the β-Farnesene were distinctive in chemotype 2 and a mixed variety of farnesol and the Springene. In the three cases, alkybenzenes; o-xylene, m-xylene and ethylbenzene were significant components in the oil. 1,4-dihydroxy-p-menth-2-ene, 5,9-undecadien-2-one, 6,10-dimethyl, and 3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde,3,4-dimethyl were other prominent constituents. The yields of the essential oils did not vary significantly however the chemical composition varied with harvesting time during the rainy and dry seasons. In choice repellency tests, chemotype 1 and chemotype 2 were more active against Sitophilus zeamais than mixed chemotype. Farnesol was found to be effective only at a higher concentration as a repellent against S. zeamais. However, further study that aims to optimize and standardize the varieties and harvesting period needed for recommendation to smallhold farmers.
