ÇAĞRI MERKEZLERİNDE İŞ YÜKÜNÜN İŞTE TÜKENMİŞLİK DUYGUSU ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ
Authors: DENİZ Ahmet , KAYA Çiğdem
Published: February 2021

Çağrı Merkezleri, 2000'li yıllar itibariyle ivmelenen gelişim sürecinde özellikle teknolojik gelişmeler ile hem ulusal hem de küresel düzeyde ciddi bir hacim kazanmıştır. Bu gelişim, iş gücü anlamında artışlara yol açmış yanı sıra çağrı merkezlerinin üretim ve verimlilik ile kar elde etme gereklilikleri kaynaklı iş yapmaları doğal bir iş yükünü beraberinde getirmiştir. Rekabetin artması, maliyetleri düşürme zorunluluğunu beraberinde getirmiş, bu da çağrı merkezleri için çalışma saatlerinin ve iş yükünün artmasına sebep olarak kârlılığın belli seviyelerde korunması zorunluluğunu oluşturmuştur. İş yükü hem işveren hem de işgören açısından performans çıktılarını etkileyen belirleyici bir unsurdur. Çalışanlar çoğunlukla iş yüklerinden şikayet etmekte, motivasyon ve performansları düşmekte, sonucunda orta ve uzun vade de tükenmişlik gibi olumsuz tepkiler söz konusu olmaktadır. İş yükünün temel etkileri stres ve tükenmişlik duygularıdır.
Araştırmada Türkiye'de faaliyet gösteren çağrı merkezi çalışanlarının iş yüklerinin, işte tükenmişlik duygusu üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada oluşturulan model temelinde kullanılan ölçeklere dair anket İstanbul ili ve Anadolu illerindeki çağrı merkezi sektöründe çalışmakta olan 850 kişiye uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizlerle iş yükü ve işte tükenmişlik arasındaki ilişkinin etkisine bakılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, iş yükünün işte tükenmişlik duygusu üzerindeki etkisi oldukça belirgindir. İş yükünün artış gösterdiğinde işgörenlerin işteki tükenmişlik eğilimlerinin de artış gösterdiği görülmektedir. Bu sonuca göre çağrı merkezi yöneticilerinin iş yükü dengelerini doğru değerlendirmeleri kurumun ileriye dönük iş sonuçları açısından önem teşkil etmektedir.

Published: February 2021

Günümüz örgütleri varlığını sürdürebilmek, ayakta kalabilmek, ilerlemek ve rekabet edebilmek için yetenekli çalışanlara ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Çünkü örgütler için en önemli faktör olan insan sermayesine olan yatırım kilit rol oynamaktadır. Bu bağlamda bir örgütün başarısı yöneticilerinin ve çalışanlarının başarısına bağlıdır. Yöneticilerin, çalışanların fikir ve önerilerine önem vermeleri ve onların kararlara katılımını sağlamları bir örgütün başarısı açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Aksi takdirde örgütler iş verimsizliği, düşük performans ve çalışan tatminsizliği ve sessizliği ile karşı karşıya kalabilmektedirler.
 Bu çalışmada kamu sektörlerinde toksik liderlik davranışlarının örgütsel sinizm ve çalışan sessizliği üzerine etkilerini incelemek ve bu kavramlar arasındaki ilişkinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda; İstanbul (Anadolu yakası) ilinde faaliyet gösteren kamu sektörü çalışanlarına kişisel bilgi formu, toksik liderlik ölçeği, örgütsel sinizm ve çalışan sessizliği ölçeğinden oluşan bir anket formu uygulanmıştır. Anket yöntemiyle elde edilen veriler, korelasyon analizi ve regresyon analizi vasıtasıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, toksik liderlik, çalışan sessizliği ve örgütsel sinizm arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunduğu kabul edilmiştir. Bu noktada örgütlerin başarılı olabilmesi için toksik liderlik davranışlarının örgütsel sinizm ve çalışan sessizliği üzerine çok yönlü önemli etkilerinin olduğunu ve bu kavramların son yıllarda araştırmacıların ilgi odağı haline geldiğini yapılan araştırmalar göstermektedir. Ayrıca bu kavramlar örgütlerde başarı faktörünün önünde ciddi bir engel oluşturabilmektedir.

Los proyectos de aula como estrategia pedagógica para el trabajo articulado entre familias y escuela
Authors: Díaz Jhoanna Rivillas , Jaramillo Tamayo Mónica , Buriticá Yohanna Patricia
Published: February 2021

El artículo se basa en una investigación cuyo propósito central consistió en democratizar la escuela y transformar la educación desde lo local, al entender al maestro como un generador de praxis interpretativa desde una relación dialéctica con el entorno; un docente que se pregunte, critique y actúe con sensibilidad y conciencia frente a su contexto; que busque respuestas desde la realidad al por qué y para qué de la educación; lo cual es posible a través de la integración familia-escuela.  El proyecto se implementó en preescolar y básica primaria de la Institución Byron Gaviria, de la ciudad de Pereira, desde el año 2016.  La muestra estuvo conformada por 30 docentes de dichos niveles, 828 estudiantes y sus núcleos familiares.  Se planearon reuniones con los actores una vez por período académico, 4 veces al año, para realizar actividades propuestas en los proyectos de aula.  Así se respondió a la necesidad de integrar estas dos realidades -familia y escuela-, para forjar la crítica y el sentido de pertenencia, construir pensamiento desde las necesidades, problemáticas e intereses cercanos.  Hacer partícipes a las familias en el desarrollo de los proyectos de aula, fortaleció los vínculos escuela-familia, al permitir establecer dinámicas de relaciones armoniosas y adecuadas, para prevenir el maltrato y violencia intrafamiliar.  Permitió también conocer de cerca los estilos y ritmos de aprendizaje de los hijos(as), integrarse entre padres de familia, entre otros aspectos que fortalecieron los vínculos entre padres e hijos(as). Igualmente se hizo consciente al docente de su rol social en la práctica pedagógica, que debe estar sustentada en la realidad.
BAKING PROPERTIES OF DIFFERENT AMARANTH FLOURS AS WHEAT BREAD INGREDIENTS
Authors: Mykolenko S. , Zhygunov D. , Rudenko T.
Published: February 2021

The technological properties of full-fat amaranth flour depend on the varietal characteristics of the Ukrainian amaranth grain and differ significantly from amaranth flour from flakes and amaranth flour from groats. In comparison with patent wheat flour, amaranth flour has a lower moisture content, higher water absorption capacity and  autolytic  activity. The variety of Amaranthus hypochondriacus significantly effects on the whiteness of full-fat flours, the lightest of which is obtained from the grain cultivar Kharkivsky-1. A higher fat, protein, and fibre content makes amaranth flours more acidic. The water absorption capacity of the flours shows positive correlation with their autolytic activity (+0.885). The acidity negatively correlates with the moisture (-0.939) and whiteness  (-0.814)  of the flours. Using amaranth flour of the different types to replace 5, 15, and 25% of patent wheat flour when making bread increases its specific volume and crumb porosity and decreases its shape stability. The positive correlation of the overall quality of the bread samples under study with their specific volume (+0.540) and the negative correlation with the acidity (- 0.685) are statistically significant. The shape stability negatively correlates with the porosity (-0.598), and the latter positively correlates with the specific volume (+0.533). The use of full-fat amaranth flour increases the specific      volume       and      porosity      of      bread      by      1.1–1.3    and 1.1 times respectively. The use of defatted flour from flakes leads to a 1.3–1.9 -fold increase in the specific volume and to a 1.1–1.2 -old increase  in the porosity. Incorporation of amaranth flour from groats allows increasing the specific volume and porosity of bread by 1.3–1.5 and 1.1–1.2 times respectively. The bread samples with 25% of all amaranth flours considered and with 15% of full-fat flour of the Liera variety  have  the lowest consumer characteristics. It has been proved that using 5–15% of full-fat flour from the amaranth grain of variety Kharkivsky-1 and defatted flour from flakes and groats (by-products of processing amaranth grain into oil) improves the quality and nutritional value of bread.
CHARACTERIZING ENGLISH ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS: AN OVERVIEW OF THEIR DESIGN
Authors: Díaz Larenas Claudio , Jara Díaz Alan Felipe , Rosales Orellana Yesenia Ester , Sanhueza Villalón María José
Published: February 2021

Assessment tends to be associated with students and learners; however, the term assessment encompasses both teachers and students. To understand the purpose of language assessment instruments, it is key to look for the designers and their preferences. This research aims to characterize 209 assessment instruments created by English teachers. This is a non-experimental and descriptive study that analyzes the types of instruments, the educational level, the language systems and skills, and the type and number of items. Two of the most important findings are related to the preferences Chilean English teachers have towards traditional assessment and the tendency to assess vocabulary and grammar; besides, the participants’ preference for tests and fill-in-the gap items.
Transient thermal response of a thermally activated pile during a long-term maintained load test at Lambeth College, London
Authors: Bourne-Webb Peter J.
Published: February 2021

The energy pile test at Lambeth College, London was first reported just over 10 years ago; however, the original appraisal of the test only looked at the thermal response at the end of extended cooling and heating stages, and did not examine the transient response within these stages or in the daily cyclic thermal loading stage that followed. This paper revisits the earlier results, allowing for concrete creep under sustained load and using a revised strain-dependent pile modulus. The strong influence of the latter and the possible importance of stiffness changes during load reversal is highlighted. Detailed evaluation of the long-term transient results suggests that within a given thermal loading interval the thermal effects are similar, but there is some further discrepancy in the results, possibly due to an underestimation of the concrete creep. This re-evaluation has mitigated pile head displacement and increased thermal stress in the cooling phase, with the reverse occurring in the heating phase, and appears to be in better agreement with back-analysis reported by others. The transient response within the thermal loading stages illustrates that the development of the thermal stress–displacement response is related to the time for heat to diffuse through the pile body – around 3 days in this case.
Globalization, Trade Imbalances and Labor Market Adjustment
Authors: Dix-Carneiro Rafael , Pessoa João Paulo , Reyes-Heroles Ricardo , Traiberman Sharon
Published: February 2021

We study the role of global trade imbalances in shaping the adjustment dynamics in response to trade shocks. We build and estimate a general equilibrium, multi-country, multi-sector model of trade with two key ingredients: (a) Consumption-saving decisions in each country commanded by representative households, leading to endogenous trade imbalances; (b) labor market frictions across and within sectors, leading to unemployment dynamics and sluggish transitions to shocks. We use the estimated model to study the behavior of labor markets in response to globalization shocks, including shocks to technology, trade costs, and inter-temporal preferences (savings gluts). We find that modeling trade imbalances changes both qualitatively and quantitatively the short- and long-run implications of globalization shocks for labor reallocation and unemployment dynamics. In a series of empirical applications, we study the labor market effects of shocks accrued to the global economy, their implications for the gains from trade, and we revisit the "China Shock" through the lens of our model. We show that the US enjoys a 2.2 percent gain in response to globalization shocks. These gains would have been 73 percent larger in the absence of the global savings glut, but they would have been 40 percent smaller in a balanced-trade world.
Prosecutor's Supervision over Law Enforcement in Countering Extremism in the Conditions of Radicalization and Growth of the Protest Activity of Population: Issues of Theory and Practice
Authors: Agapov Pavel , Smyslova Vera
Published: February 2021

In spite of the undertaken legislative, organizational, law enforcement and preventive measures, the Russian Federation witnesses a trend towards an increase in extremism crimes. The key methods of destabilizing the socio-political and socio-economic situation in Russia include the dissemination of political, religious, nationa­listic ideas that acquire the features of extremist ideology and provoke certain groups of citizens to forcible counteraction to the state; they also provoke the escalation of internal and external extremism threats from «pro-western political forces».
It is stated that the most urgent problems currently include radicalization, and the involvement of underage children and young people into protest and extremism activities. The authors use the results of a survey of prosecution bodies’ employees in their analysis of the causes and conditions of the radicalization of Russian young people as well as the assessment of the effectiveness of the work of state bodies to counteract the activities of radical unions and groups using religious and extremist ideology.
The authors present a brief analysis of the causes of radicalization, protest activities and manifestations of extremism among young people taking Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts of the Russian Federation as examples.
Using the conducted analysis of the condition of law and order and the practice of law enforcement in the sphere of counteracting extremism, the authors conclude that law enforcers make a number of mistakes in the application of criminal law norms with administrative prejudice (Art. 212.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), in the interpretation of the concept of «social group» when qualifying crimes of extremism, in the legal assessment of the activities of sub-culture (mainly, youth) movements and unions when prosecutors exercise their right to petition courts with administrative claims to recognize information materials as forbidden for dissemination on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as on recognizing unions as extremist and banning their activities.
In this connection, the authors draw attention to the necessity of changing approaches to the organization of procuratorial supervision over the enforcement of laws on counteracting extremism in the conditions of radicalization and a growing protect activity of the population, they point out deficiencies in the conducted work, and present a number of specific measures aimed at improving the effectiveness of procuratorial supervision in the sphere of counteracting extremism in the conditions of radicalization and a growing protest activity of the population.
The Harmonization of Russian Criminal Legislation on Counteracting Cybercrime with the Legal Standards of the Council of Europe
Authors: Kirilenko Viktor , Alekseev Georgy
Published: February 2021

Crimes that happen in the virtual environment created by digital technologies inflict considerable economic damage. Mercenary motives of criminals in the information society are giving rise to increasingly more and more sophisticated methods of abusing the trust of computer networks’ users. The harmonization of Russian legislation on counteracting cybercrimes with the legal standards of the Council of Europe is inevitable due to the trans-border character of crimes committed using information and telecommunication technologies, and to their high public danger. The methodology of researching cybercrime is based on the comparative analysis of Russian law enforcement practice on crimes in the sphere of computer information and the most progressive practices of counteracting cybercrime in the member states of the Council of Europe. The methods of inclusive observation and discursive analysis make it possible to identify latent delicts in contemporary information space. The analysis of criminal legislation and the practices of criminal behavior in cyberspace are aimed at improving the measures of counteracting the violations of fundamental human rights in the process of the digitization of economy, when fraud based on the abuse of network users’ trust becomes the most typical virtual crime. Internet users are interested in reporting the facts of offences in the information space on the condition that the state protects their fundamental freedoms. The creation of closed social networks by criminal organizations and the widening technical opportunities for extortion result in the creation of universal schemes that enrich criminals, who are not only interested in reducing the state’s influence on public relations, but are also trying to establish their dominance in the economic space of information society. The effective policy of law enforcement bodies on counteracting economic crimes in the global information space requires an international consensus regarding the development of public-private partnership in identifying cybercrimes and suppressing criminal practices connected with the use of information technologies.
iNEXT4steps workflow for biodiversity assessment and comparison v1
Authors: Daraghmeh Nauras , Christian El-Khaled Yusuf
Published: February 2021

In order to assess and compare sample completeness and alpha diversity of samples, Chao et al. (2020) proposed a 4-step-workflow. It is based on their extensive earlier works (e.g., Chao et al. 2014) which make use of the now widely accepted concept of Hill numbers, also known as effective number of equally abundant species qD (Hill 1973, Chao et al. 2014). Here, q denotes the diversity order of a Hill number and determines its sensitivity to species’ relative abundances or frequencies (in case of incidence data, i.e., species presence /absence). Hill numbers based on higher values of q put more emphasis on more commonly occurring species. In their publication, Chao et al. (2020) mention the online tool iNEXT4steps which supposedly offers users to complete the workflow via a web-based application. This tool is an extended and updated version of the earlier iNEXT online tool and R package (Hsieh et al. 2016). Unfortunately, the link provided in the paper does not lead to the new application. We therefore got in touch with the authors and they provided us with a link to the trial version of the iNEXT4steps online tool (see link in section 2 of the protocol). We here present a detailed workflow combining the new iNEXT4steps online tool with the existing iNEXT R package to assess and compare sample completeness, diversity and evenness between habitats as presented. This allows researchers to obtain results and figures as presented in Chao et al. (2020). References: Chao, A., Gotelli, N.J., Hsieh, T.C., Sander, E.L., Ma, K.H., Colwell, R.K. and Ellison, A.M.

Vibration-based tools for the optimisation of large-scale industrial wind turbine devices
Authors: de da González-Carrato R Ruiz Hermosa , Márquez G , Pedro F , Papaelias M
Published: February 2021

Wind turbine (WT) maintenance management must be in continuous improvement to develop reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) programmes and to achieve time and cost reductions in large-scale industrial wind turbines. The optimisation of the operation reliability
involves supervisory control and data acquisition to guarantee the correct levels of RAMS. A fault detection and diagnosis methodology (FDD) is proposed for the mechanical devices of a WT. The method applies the wavelet and Fourier analysis to vibration signals. The signals collected contain
information on failures found in the gearbox-generator set. The information is initially tested by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) to ensure its accuracy. Then, a pattern is created based on energies that relate each failure to different frequency bands. This pattern uses the wavelet transform
as the main technique. A number of turbines of the same type were instrumented in the same wind farm. The data collected from the individual turbines was fused together and analysed in order to determine the overall performance. It is expected that data fusion allows for a significant improvement,
since the information gained from various condition monitoring systems can be enhanced. The paper will also focus on the application of dependable, embedded computer systems for a reliable implementation.
Wypalenie zawodowe personelu zakładów karnych – czynniki ryzyka i czynniki chroniące
Authors: Wojnarska Anna Danuta
Published: February 2021

Wypalenie zawodowe pojawia się u osób wykonujących zawody związane z niesieniem pomocy w trudnych emocjonalnie warunkach (lekarze, pielęgniarki, nauczyciele). Funkcjonariusze zakładów karnych są grupą zawodową obciążoną wysokim ryzykiem tego zaburzenia. Czynnikami sprzyjającymi wystąpieniu symptomów wypalenia zawodowego są czynniki związane ze stresorami organizacyjnymi (autokratyczny styl zarządzania, formalna hierarchia, brak autonomii zawodowej pracowników) oraz predyspozycje indywidualne (styl radzenia sobie ze stresem, poczucie kontroli zewnętrznej, wysoki neurotyzm, brak asertywności, niska samoocena, nadmierne zaangażowanie w pracę). Czynniki ryzyka są modyfikowane przez zmienne socjoekonomiczne (płeć, wiek, posiadanie rodziny, wykształcenie, staż pracy). Czynnikami chroniącymi są zasoby osobiste, które są stymulowane na dwa sposoby: przez pracę nad dojrzałością emocjonalną i sprężystością psychiczną oraz doskonalenie kompetencji zawodowych. Zmiany systemowe w zakresie zarządzania zakładami karnymi i zmiana pozycji zawodowej funkcjonariuszy również chronią przed destrukcyjnym wpływem wypalenia. Kierunkami przyszłych poszukiwań powinny być badania wykorzystujące nowe techniki diagnozy i zaawansowaną analizę wyników.
Mental Well-being and Sense of Meaning in Life and Burnout Syndrome of the Officers of the Prison Service. Preliminary Research
Authors: Chudnicki Andrzej
Published: February 2021

Dobrostan psychiczny ma istotne znaczenie dla zdrowia psychicznego i fizycznego oraz efektywności zawodowej pracowników, przekłada się bowiem na wymierne korzyści w miejscu pracy. Skutkami złego stanu zdrowia psychicznego są utrata wydajności oraz koszty związane z absencją czy nieefektywnym wykonywaniem obowiązków. Szczególnym przypadkiem pogorszenia się stanu zdrowia psychicznego, będącego następstwem długotrwałego, nierozwiązanego stresu związanego z pracą, jest wypalenie zawodowe. Syndrom ten występuje szczególnie często u osób narażonych w pracy na silne stresory, na których spoczywa duża odpowiedzialność za bezpieczeństwo swoje i innych. Grupą zawodową szczególnie narażoną na wypalenie zawodowe są funkcjonariusze Służby Więziennej. Celem badań było ustalenie zależności pomiędzy poziomem wypalenia zawodowego a poczuciem szczęścia i sensu życia u funkcjonariuszy Służby Więziennej. Przebadano 60 osób zatrudnionych w trzech zakładach karnych. Okazało się, że wypalenie zawodowe mierzone Kwestionariuszem Wypalenia Zawodowego jest ujemnie skorelowane z poszukiwaniem sensu życia mierzonym Kwestionariuszem Sensu Życia. Pozytywne zależności wystąpiły również pomiędzy poczuciem szczęścia mierzonym Kwestionariuszem Poczucia Jakości Życia SHI-PL a poczuciem własnych dokonań mierzonych Kwestionariuszem Wypalenia Zawodowego.
Mechanizmy finansowe wspierające oddziaływania Służby Więziennej na rzecz readaptacji społecznej osób odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności
Authors: Lewicka-Zelent Agnieszka , Stasiorowski Sławomir
Published: February 2021

Zagadnienia prezentowane przez autorów w niniejszym artykule skupiają się na ukazaniu istoty funkcjonowania Funduszu Pomocy Pokrzywdzonym oraz Pomocy Postpenitencjarnej – Funduszu Sprawiedliwości, który ma kluczowe znaczenie dla działań wspierających społeczną readaptację skazanych prowadzonych przez Służbę Więzienną. W sposób szczegółowy odniesiono się do zasady funkcjonowania Funduszu w części postpenitencjarnej, prezentując schematy jego działania. Ponadto opisano podstawowe zakresy udzielanej z tych środków pomocy osobom pozbawionym wolności, zwalnianym z jednostek penitencjarnych oraz ich bliskim. W sposób szczególny zwrócono uwagę na marginalizowanie działalności organizacji pozarządowych w obszarze resocjalizacji inkluzyjnej oraz działalności na rzecz reintegracji byłych więźniów ze społeczeństwem. Z prezentowanych danych wynika, że znacząca liczba jednostek penitencjarnych w Polsce ma ograniczone możliwości współpracy z wyspecjalizowanymi podmiotami animującymi włączenie społeczne więźniów lub jest ich pozbawiona, w związku z tym konieczne jest wsparcie inicjatyw społecznych w tym zakresie przez Fundusz Sprawiedliwości.
Are corestones due to weathering and/or tectonism? Problems and suggestions
Authors: Twidale Charles Rowland , Vidal Romaní Juan Ramón
Published: February 2021

Many of the so-called corestones have been developed from rocky blocks that have been apparently affected by subsurface physicochemical weathering that results in lamination, granulation, and eventually a puggy or stiff clay. The truth is that weathering takes advantage of a previous deformation structure and does not create it by weathering.
Palaeoenvironmental data from fluvial deposits associated to ancient fishing weirs in the Miño river, NW Iberia
Authors: Sanjurjo-Sánchez Jorge , Arce-Chamorro Carlos , Barrientos Víctor , Goy-Diz Ana
Published: February 2021

Fluvial sediments provide environmental records of the Quaternary. In some cases, fluvial deposits are caused by anthropogenic processes that cause changes in the water regime of some river stretches. This is the case of dams. It has been reported that some dams or partial damming systems existed in the past, at least from some thousands of years ago. Such dams were used for fishing purposes and are referred as fishing weirs. In a recently published work it has been demonstrated that a fluvial thick deposit was caused by a damming system in a river of NW Iberia (River Miño, Pontevedra). Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) provided the burial age of such fluvial deposit, showing a 1300-year-old fluvial record. The sedimentation rates of the record did not match with known climate fluctuations in the area. In this work, the sedimentation phases of such record are identified, and the detrital and organic matter content is studied to assess any change occurred in the environmental and fluvial conditions during the deposition period of the record that ranges from 814±134 to 1837±11 AD.

The objective of this study was to determine the amount of the elements of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) eggs obtained from different stations. The study was conducted in 5 different production areas that are producing the most rainbow trout eggs in Turkey. Element analysis (Na, Mg, Al, P, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Ba, Pb, Hg, and Cu) of rainbow trout eggs were performed using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma- Mass Spectrometer). At the end of the study, it was determined that the daily consumption limit for selected elements (Ca, P, Mg, Zn, Mn, Ni and Se) was not exceeded in individuals consuming 100g of rainbow trout eggs per day. The daily intake recommended by the European Communities Commission was determined to be sufficient for the K, Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn elements in rainbow trout eggs. The Cd and Pb values of rainbow trout eggs obtained from different stations were determined significantly less than the values included in the Turkish Food Codex. The results of this study were thought to be important for both consumers and juvenile rainbow trout producers.
Raising the Bar: Increasing Protection for Athletes in the Olympic Movement from Sexual Harassment and Abuse
Authors: Burke Anne Marie
Published: February 2021

After the Larry Nassar and USA Gymnastics scandal surfaced in 2016, the United States enacted a federal act titled “Protecting Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017.” This Act requires immediate mandatory reporting to the U.S. Center for SafeSport for any alleged child abuse of an amateur athlete who is a minor. An increasing amount of legislation is being passed to address sexual harassment and abuse in sports in the United States; however, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which governs the Olympic Movement, is lacking in its sexual harassment and abuse policies. This article will address how the IOC’s sexual harassment and abuse policies are not as robust as they should be. The amount of attention that the Olympics receives worldwide gives the IOC a global platform to be a leader in taking a stance on sexual harassment and abuse policies.

Published: February 2021

Introduction:The confinement experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain for more than two months,could severely affect the condition and quality of life of patients suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain. Taking into account the analgesic effects that physical exercise can generate, a large part of the population has carried out some kind of physical exercise at home as a mechanism for pain control, during this period. Objective:The objective of this study was to know the type and dosage of the exercise performed, as well as the perception of the patient ́s pain during the confinament period. Material and method: An ad hoc survey by a Google Form was conducted in 86 patients to find out the health status of the patients, the type of exercise they performed and the dossage of the exercise, as well as whether they had perceived a reduction in their pain during the period of confinement. Results:The pain intensity was reduced significantly (p = 0.001) when some kind of exercise was done. Strength exercise exclusively was chosen by 51% of the population, and the frequencies and session time were not significantly different bet-ween the subjects who felt a reduction in pain and those who did not. Conclusion:A schedule of physical exercise 4 days a week, for at least 50 minutes and with intensities around 77% of HR-máx of aerobic or strength training would be recommended in patients with chronic pain, as a strategy for pain reduction. The results of our study do not advise, for patients with chronic pain, combined therapy sessions, regardless of the primary location of the pain.

Published: February 2021

The aim of this work was to determine the body composition profile of children and young roller skaters. 516 athletes (361 males and 155 females) between the ages of 5 and 21 years old, who belong to official clubs in Colombia and Venezuela, were evaluated longitudinally. The anthropometric variables were taken according to ISAK, using the Holtain© caliper for the skin folds (triceps, anterior thigh and medial leg) and the Sanny© tape for the perimeters (relaxed arm, medial thigh and leg). The treatment for the estimation of the percentage of body fat (%F) and muscle mass (%MM) was performed under the protocol of the GREC and processed by means of SPSS 24.0. The results point to the existence of significant differences (p<0.05) between sexes for %F and %MM. For the development of the profile the methodology of smoothed curves was used with the application of the software LMS Chart Maker© and to generate cut points for the percentiles 3, 10, 75, 90 and 97. It is concluded, that the classification for the proposed body composition, without trying to be a unique norm to establish the typification of the status of the body composition of a skater, allows to distinguish and to categorize with rigor and objecti-vity, the characteristics of the body composition of the skaters independently of the age and competitive level. This work is recommended as a starting point for future studies in larger populations with established probability sampling and ethnicity.

Published: February 2021

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a general term for heterogeneous disorders that affect the structure and function of the kidney. Complications of CKD significantly limit exercise (Ex) tolerance by reducing functional capacity, endurance, and strength. However, the practice of regular Ex contributes to delaying the progression of CKD and stimulating improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Ex performed during the period of hemodialysis may be the best option when stimulating adherence and being under medical supervision. The purpose of the paper is to examine the effectiveness of intradialytic (iHD) Ex on health outcomes in patients with CKD by identifying the most appropriate component of Ex. Material and method: Systematic review, based on PRISMA guidelines, performing a structured search in Medline, SciELO and Cochrane Library Plus databases. Publications from the last 5 years relating iHD Ex and CKD up to 31 December 2019 were included. The methodological quality of the articles was evaluated using the McMaster critical review form. Results: We found 7 articles that described increases in endurance, upper and lower limb muscle strength, and HRQL of CKD patients providing emotional, social and psychological improvements. In addition, iHD Ex is able to control oxidative stress, inflammation, improve the lipid profile and stimulate endothelial progenitor cells, which together reduce the risk of mortality associated with multiple comorbidities in CKD patients, especially cardiovascular ones. Conclusions:Ex provides improvements in physical function and capacity, HRQL and biological markers. Aerobic Ex, muscle strength Ex and combined Ex programs are used.

Published: February 2021

Background: The objective of the study was to study the clinical presentation, microbiological profile, treatment protocol of deep neck space infections in diabetics and non diabetics.Methods: This was a prospective study conducted on 76 patients (diabetics and non diabetics) admitted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, TD Medical college, Alappuzha over a period of 18 months from January 2012 to June 2013.Results: The age distribution was 15-75 years. Male to female ratio was 2:1. Fever, pain, neck swelling and odynophagia were the common symptoms with dyspnoea and chest pain indicative of complications. The most common etiology was odontogenic (68.4%) followed by tonsillopharyngeal infection and foreign bodies. No etiological factor was found in 34.2%. The commonest site was submandibular space (64.2%) followed by parapharyngeal space (26.6%). Abscess was present in majority needing surgical drainage. The most common organism isolated was streptococcus viridans (37.5%). Preponderance of klebsiella species was noted in diabetics. Streptococcus showed susceptibility to pencillin (83.33%), ampicillin (92%), cefotaxime (60.526%). Klebsiella showed susceptibility to gentamicin (42.3%) and ciprofloxacin (28.57%). The complication rate was more in diabetics (34.21%). Contrast enhanced CT was done in cases suspected to have complication. The mean hospital stay was longer in diabetics (19.6 days) than non diabetics (6.4 days).Conclusions: Deep neck space infection still remains life threatening if not heeded promptly. Senescence and diabetes demand surgical intervention and meticulous glycemic control to prevent complications. Judicious use of antimicrobials and timely radiological and surgical interventions have come a long way in the management and in providing a cure to this dreaded condition.

O presente estudo teve o objetivo de descrever o perfil socioeconômico, produtivo e aspectos de mercado dos apicultores de Remanso (Bahia, Brasil), assim como analisar a influência da assistência técnica extensionista sobre a produtividade apícola na região. A pesquisa foi realizada no município de Remanso, devido sua localização na região onde a atividade apícola está difundida entre os pequenos produtores familiares. As entrevistas foram realizadas com quatorze apicultores, a partir de questionários semiestruturados. Foi observado que a maioria dos apicultores pertencem ao sexo masculino e são experientes na atividade apícola. A apicultura na região ainda é realizada de forma secundária, simultaneamente com outras atividades agrícolas e pecuárias. A maioria dos apicultores estão inseridos em cooperativas e associações, de forma que há melhor facilitação no beneficiamento e venda do mel produzido. Os apicultores vêm recebendo capacitações a partir de atividades extensionistas, contribuindo para ampliação e crescimento na produtividade de mel por colmeia. No mais, a flora apícola da região favorece a atividade no município, assim como o incremento na renda dos apicultores, além dos benefícios ecológicos, devido a polinização da flora local realizada pelas abelhas africanizadas.

Authors: Polyansky Ivan S. , Stepanov Dmitry E. , Ketoh Dmitry K. , Shevchenko Vyacheslav A.
Published: February 2021

In the article, the features of using the barycentric method in solving problems of electrodynamic analysis of mirror antennas are considered. The solution of the internal problem of electrodynamics is the basis of the study. The problem of electrodynamic analysis of a mirror antenna is formulated in the classical representation of the problem of diffraction of an electromagnetic wave on a system of infinitely thin perfectly conducting screens of arbitrary shape and reduced to a system of integro-differential equations. The solution of the latter is performed numerically in the projection formulation of the Galerkin method when determining the approximation of the desired surface current density function in the system of global basis functions formed in the approximation of the barycentric method for the analyzed screen. The integral representation of the electromagnetic field of the mirror antenna, taking into account the properties of the introduced basic functions, is given. Thefeatures of the algorithmic implementation of the developed solutions are clarified. The efficiency and comparative preference of the use of the barycentric method in the problems of electrodynamic analysis of mirror antennas are tested on test examples.
Research of antenna complexes using chiral metamaterials and fractal geometry of radiators for MIMO systems
Authors: Bespalov Andrey N. , Buzov Alexander L. , Klyuev Dmitry S. , Neshcheret Anatoly M.
Published: February 2021

This article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of increasing spectral efficiency in MIMO systems by using antennas with substrates of biisotropic and bianisotropic chiral metamaterials and various types of fractal emitters, in particular, fractal structures in the form of a Sierpinski triangle, Koch and Gilbert curves, as well as a dipole triangular antenna of complex configuration FRM. The spectral efficiency was calculated by using one of the variations of the Shannon formula, which includes a complete matrix of Z-parameters. In turn, this matrix was determined using the software package of electrodynamic modeling. It is shown that the use of such antennas with the fractal geometry of the emitters located on chiral substrates reduces the mutual influence between the emitters, and, in turn, increases the spectral efficiency in several frequency ranges compared to traditional solutions.
