Published: September 2021

Apatite fission track (AFT) and elemental data are presented for a Permian and Devonian sample from northern Yukon in support of a journal paper (submitted to Geochronology) that discusses multikinetic AFT data interpretation and modelling techniques. The Permian
sample is from an exploration well in Eagle Plain and the Devonian sample is from an outcrop to the northeast along the Dempster highway on the western flank of the Richardson Anticlinorium. Both detrital samples contain apatite with overdispersed ages that fail the Chi Square test which suggests
each sample has more than one AFT age population. Age mixture modelling software was used to identify multiple AFT age populations that correlate with apatite composition determined using electron microprobe analysis. Single-grain age and length data were sorted into different kinetic populations
for each sample using eCl values (effective Cl; derived from the multi-element based rmr0 parameter). Each kinetic population is treated as a separate thermochronometer with its own composition-dependent annealing characteristics that enhances model thermal-history resolution. The multikinetic AFT
thermal model, AFTINV, was used to obtain multicycle heating and cooling histories for these samples. Paleozoic and Late Cretaceous-Cenozoic burial/exhumation events are well documented in the study area, but model results suggest that the region experienced an additional phase of Triassic to Early
Cretaceous heating and cooling.
Developing a retrofit scheme for Canada's Seismic Risk Model
Authors: Hobbs T E , Journeay J M , LeSueur P
Published: September 2021

The first published Canadian Seismic Risk Model, CanSRM1, is set for release this year. It considers the potential impact of seismicity on Canadian building stock and people, taking into account the current built environment. To understand the benefits of
retrofit policies, policy makers need a base of evidence showing the difference in risk before and after retrofitting. Therefore, we plan to incorporate a simulated retrofit scenario into the national model, after consulting with practicing engineers and experts to better understand how such
retrofits are likely to occur. This report presents the outcome of that consultation process, and recommendations for implementation into CanSRM1. It is apparent that only modest retrofits should be simulated for the majority of buildings, except those which are expected to serve a post-disaster
function. Other building types are poorly suited for cost-effective retrofit, such as unreinforced masonry. These ideas are used to create a retrofit scenario across Canada, which can be used by policy makers to create targeted seismic risk reduction policies.

On the density of sets of the Euclidean plane avoiding distance 1
Authors: Bellitto Thomas , Pêcher Arnaud , Sédillot Antoine
Published: September 2021

A subset $A \subset \mathbb R^2$ is said to avoid distance $1$ if: $\forall
x,y \in A, \left\| x-y \right\|_2 \neq 1.$ In this paper we study the number
$m_1(\mathbb R^2)$ which is the supremum of the upper densities of measurable
sets avoiding distance 1 in the Euclidean plane. Intuitively, $m_1(\mathbb
R^2)$ represents the highest proportion of the plane that can be filled by a
set avoiding distance 1. This parameter is related to the fractional chromatic
number $\chi_f(\mathbb R^2)$ of the plane.
We establish that $m_1(\mathbb R^2) \leq 0.25647$ and $\chi_f(\mathbb R^2)
\geq 3.8991$.
Water Quality Evaluation of Wenyu River Based on Single Factor Evaluation and Comprehensive Pollution Index Method
Authors: Linjin Li , Baohui Men , Rui Peng
Published: September 2021

Wenyu River is the “mother river” in Beijing. In recent years, the research on the water quality of the Wenyu River has increased gradually. In this paper, the monitoring data at Shahe Reservoir, Lu Tuan Gate, Xin Bao Gate, and Ma Fang sections for each month in 2019 were adopted. The single-factor evaluation method and the comprehensive pollution index method were selected to analyze the current situation of the water quality of Wenyu River in the Chang Ping section and its temporal and spatial variation trend. The single factor evaluation method showed that the dissolved oxygen exceeded the standard seriously in all other months of the year except that the situation was better in May, June, and July. The ammonia nitrogen content reached the highest level in January, followed by a month-by-month decreasing trend. After June, each section basically met the requirements of Class v water quality. The comprehensive pollution index method shows that the water quality of Shahe reservoir varies greatly throughout the year, and it is in grade v for 6 months. The evaluation results of both methods show that the water quality of all sections of Wenyu River in 2019 was mostly in category v.

Total suspended solids are an indicator of material constituted by sedimentable solids, suspended solids, and colloidal, whose origin is erosion, wastewater discharges, and agricultural waste. The objective of this research was to determine territorial water erosion, its relation with total suspended solids, and the water quality in the lower basin of the Usumacinta River in Tabasco. Three sampling points were established, located in the municipalities of Tenosique, Emiliano Zapata, and Jonuta, in the state of Tabasco. Water samples were collected during 12 monthly sampling campaigns in an annual cycle, and the total suspended solids were determined according to the provisions of the NMX-AA-034-SCFI-2015 standard. Water erosion was calculated based on the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and with the use of geographic information systems (GIS). The results obtained were statistically analyzed, finding that the measured maximum TSS concentrations are 130.92 mg.L-1 in Boca del Cerro, 165.28 mg.L-1 in Chablé, and 113.91 mg.L-1 in Jonuta which are within the permissible concentrations for protection of freshwater aquatic life and agricultural irrigation according to ecological criteria of water quality (CE-CCA-001/89), in Mexico. The lower basin of the Usumacinta River has areas with extreme erosion (990 tons.ha-1yr-1), with conditions that accelerate the erosion process, such as annual rainfall between 1805 mm and 2250 mm, clay soils located on slopes greater than 16%, and agricultural soils. These events cause loss of the soil fertile layer where agriculture is developed, also giving rise to the accelerated transport of suspended solids; which negatively alter the quality of the water of the Usumacinta River.

Published: September 2021

Accelerated urbanization has given rise to sharp environmental changes in urban underlying surfaces, thus changing the regional thermal environment and endangering the ecosystem balance. The thermal environment is complex, and the influence laws of land utilization differences and changes in the thermal environment in different seasons and under different daytime and nighttime conditions are unclear. In this regard, effective measures should be implemented to reduce the regional thermal environmental effect and determine the influence laws of land utilization differences and changes in the regional thermal environment. Zhongyuan urban agglomeration was applied as the study area. Two-year MODIS eight-day synthesized surface temperature product and land utilization monitoring data were obtained by remote sensing and used to analyze the influencing characteristics of different cities and land utilization types on the thermal environment of urban agglomeration from the angles of interannual differences and seasonal differences. During 2010-2018, the area changes in different land utilization types in the study area are significant with decreasing farmland area and increasing forest land and construction land. The farmland and forest land have the most significant influences on the regional thermal environment, where the farmland exerts a warming effect on the regional thermal environment and the forest land exerts a cooling effect. In different seasons and under different daytime and nighttime conditions, the construction land shows a strong warming effect on the regional thermal environment. The contribution indices of Changzhi city and Jincheng city to the thermal environment of the urban agglomeration are negative, so they exert the cooling effect. The warming or cooling role played by Handan city, Liaocheng city, and Xingtai city in the thermal environment is transited under different daytime and nighttime conditions, namely, they exert the warming effect in the day
Urban and Rural Airborne Particulate Matter: Seasonal Variation of Alpha Activity in Kanyakumari District
Authors: Jesu Raj C. Jesu Raj , Prema Kumari J.
Published: September 2021

All forms of life on earth including man have evolved in the presence of radiation and have always been exposed to them from the natural environment. The health effect from exposure to alpha particles depends greatly on how a person is exposed. If alpha-emitters are inhaled, swallowed, or get into the body through a cut, the alpha particles can damage sensitive living tissue. In this paper, investigations have been made to determine the presence of alpha activity in the air. Hence, the alpha activity was measured by collecting Airborne Particulate Matter (APM) non-simultaneously on Whatman filters from ten sampling sites in Kanyakumari District during the summer and winter seasons using a high volume sampling method. The sampling sites are characterized by different contributions from ore refining factories like Indian Rare Earths (IRE) Limited, mountain areas, some industrial, non-nuclear activities like tiles and brick factories in and around the Kanyakumari district. The alpha activity in airborne particulate matter collected was determined by Alpha Counter and their results were tabulated.

Published: September 2021

The contamination of heavy metal in leachate was investigated at various sites with different solid waste management, namely an open dump, controlled dump, and sanitary landfill. The results indicated that all four heavy metals investigated (cadmium, lead, mercury, and manganese) were present in the leachate at all solid waste management sites. The highest cadmium and lead concentrations were each observed in open dump leachate samples, while the highest manganese and mercury concentrations were each observed in controlled dump leachate samples.
Impact of Environmental Subsidies on Environmental Technology Innovation of Polluting Enterprises
Authors: Han Chunwei , Han Chunwei
Published: September 2021

Environmental technology innovation plays an important role in solving pollution control problems. Under the background of the green development of the polluting industry, environmental subsidies have become an important financial instrument to make up for the lack of capital market. To explore the motivation of environmental technology innovation supported by environmental subsidies, using the data of listed polluting enterprises in China from 2013 to 2019, the impact of environmental subsidies on environmental technology patents of polluting enterprises was discussed from the perspective of selective industrial policies. Results show that environmental subsidies stimulate the total number of environmental technology patents and non-invention patents to increase significantly, showing the behavior characteristics of enterprises pursuing innovation quantity while ignoring quality. When enterprises expected to get more environmental subsidies, they make environmental technology patents to seek support. The above phenomenon is only significant in the state-owned enterprise group and senior executives group with a technical background in the group analysis results. The number of environmental technology invention patents of private enterprises increased significantly. The selective environmental subsidies policy stimulates the strategic innovation of enterprises, while the environmental technology invention patents representing substantive innovation and high-quality innovation are not improved significantly. The managerial implication of the conclusions is that the government should not only consider increasing environmental subsidies to polluting enterprises in the future but also should support better regulatory policies to improve the level of pollution prevention and control through environmental technology innovation.

Published: September 2021

One of the most vital problems of environmental protection concern is that of solid waste disposal. This problem continues to grow with the growth of population and the development of industries. The Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) already establishes itself as a service to society at large, contributing towards a cleaner environment. However, the inappropriate disposal of CETP’s hazardous sludge can cause serious environmental problems. The sludge if sent for landfilling may cause groundwater contamination, changing the soil fertility parameters as well. The research presented here is carried out to explore the ability of an epigeic earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae to transform the sludge produced from CETP into a value-added product i.e., vermicompost. In this study, six samples of feed mixture were used with different ratios of CETP sludge, cow dung, and sawdust. Physico-chemical parameters such as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Volatile Solids (VS), Total Nitrogen (TN), Nitrate Nitrogen (NO3--N), Ammonium Nitrogen (NH4+-N) were characterized to analyze the quality of the compost formed. All these parameters are in the agreement with recommended standards of mature compost. The result shows that vermicomposting technique when used, epigeic earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae can work as a favorable alternative solution for the disposal of CETP sludge.
Comparative Analysis of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Kochi and Indore
Authors: Paul B. , Paul D.
Published: September 2021

Conventionally, the general understanding of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is collecting solid waste and its disposal through its developed channels or outside contracts. However, depending upon the situation and context, the definition of MSW varies between countries across the globe. For instance, in countries like Singapore and Japan, Municipal Solid Waste is defined as general waste. However, while categorizing the general waste, the industrial waste component is considered for Singapore and not for Japan. Similarly, different countries associate different definitions for MSW and it becomes a difficult challenge to suggest a single unified definition applicable for all countries. This paper aims to do a comparative analysis of Waste management in Tier-II cities of India, Kochi and Indore. Kochi is ranked 372nd and the latter 1st according to the latest Swachh Survekshan undertaken as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Urban) by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. This paper highlights what the key elements missing out in the management of waste in Kochi from the reference perspective of Indore and identifying the measures Kochi needs to undertake to improve its ranking among the cleanest city in India are.

Published: September 2021

The present study is aimed at evaluating the radiation profile along the coast of the Poompuhar- Nagore range, which is known to be hydrodynamically active and is enriched with anthropogenic activities. The study of radiation on the coastal belt and evaluating their dynamics (magnitude and spatio-temporal variability) is crucial both for the coastal inhabitants as well as possible exploration of rare-earth minerals. The effective gamma radiation during the new moon along the coastal range varies between 0.9 to 3.55 ?sv.h-1, respectively. The annual equivalent dose is estimated up to gamma radiation of 0.26 to 2.80 ?sv.h-1. Generally, the concentrations of the gamma radiation measured are elevated in certain areas namely Chinnagudi, Kuttiyandiyur, and Chandrapadi. In particular, the gamma radioactivity is high at Chandrapadi and Chinnagudi during the new moon as it shows considerable amounts of radiation. There is a definite variation due to the moon phase on the gamma radiation profile of the area studied. Out of the eight coastal villages under study, about 60% of the coastal line shows high levels of gamma radiation during both new moon and full moon phases.

Authors: P Sangeetha , K Parameswari , Kulkarni Amba
Published: September 2021

This paper is an attempt in building a rule-based dependency parser for Telugu which can parse simple sentences. This study adopts Pāṇini’s Grammatical (PG) tradition i.e., the dependency model to parse sentences. A detailed description of mapping semantic relations to vibhaktis (case suffixes and postpositions) in Telugu using PG is presented. The paper describes the algorithm and the linguistic knowledge employed while developing the parser. The research further provides results, which suggest that enriching the current parser with linguistic inputs can increase the accuracy and tackle ambiguity better than existing data-driven methods.

Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship between a person’s Mallampati score and their scores on the Berlin Questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The Berlin Questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale are currently used as prescreening tools for persons who may suffer from sleep disorders. The Berlin Questionnaire is used to identify persons at risk for sleep apnea syndrome and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale is used to determine the level of a person’s daytime sleepiness. The Mallampati Scoring System is an assessment of the anatomy of the oral cavity to predict the ease of intubation. The relationship between the Mallampati Score System, Berlin Questionnaire, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale were analyzed. Seventy-seven students participated in this pilot study. The correlation and regression analysis demonstrated the following results: The researcher found no significant correlations between the Mallampati Scoring System and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Berlin Questionnaire. The regression analysis revealed that a Mallampati Score could not be used as a predictor of Berlin Questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale results. Results of this pilot study reveal that the Mallampati Scoring System has no correlation and may not be used as a predictor to Berlin Questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale results.

Authors: Novak Malorie , Brown-Cross Dawn , Echternach John
Published: September 2021

Background and Purpose. There is a paucity of published literature regarding the correlation between faculty attributes and education program pass rates on the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) particularly regarding the physical therapist assistant (PTA). The purpose of this study was to 1) determine if there is a relationship between faculty attributes in PTA educational programs and program outcomes on the NPTE for Physical Therapist Assistants (NPTE-PTA) and 2) construct a prediction model for PTA program outcomes based on faculty attributes. Subjects. The 233United States’ PTA programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) in 2006 were studied. Methods. Using a retrospective design, data were obtained regarding the PTA programs from the dataset of CAPTE’s PTA annual accreditation report and the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy’s pass rate database. Selected faculty attributes (designation of highest degree conferred, years of teaching experience, employment status, license designation [physical therapist or physical therapist assistant] and clinical specialization) were correlated to first time program pass rates. Backward deletion regression was used to predict the first time pass rate on the NPTE-PTA.Results. Based on data from 190/233 PTA programs, seven attributes had a statistically significant relationship to the outcomes on the NPTE-PTA. They were the number of: 1) full-time faculty; 2) adjunct faculty with an associate’s degree; 3) full-time faculty with a terminal degree; 4) core faculty with a terminal degree; 5) all faculty with a terminal degree 6) years of teaching experience of the full-time faculty; 7) years of teaching experience of the core faculty. Backward deletion regression analyses demonstrated an overall model of two combined predictor factors (full-time faculty years of teaching and full-time faculty terminal degree) that significantly predicted the first time pass rate on the NPTE-PTAaccounting for 6.5% of the variance. Discussion and Conclusion. Faculty attributes of the institutions providing PTAprograms are associated with first time pass rates of their graduates. This study provides a foundation for future studies by identifying some of the faculty attributes that relate to NPTE-PTA outcomes.

Authors: Levenhagen Kim , Cavallo Cheryl , Frese Ethel , Kettenbach Ginge , Wilder Elaine
Published: September 2021

An ongoing challenge for faculty is to determine effective and efficient mechanisms for assisting students to achieve academic success. Supplemental Instruction (SI), a form of peer tutoring, has been defined as a peer-led academic assistance program that targets difficult courses and is offered to students enrolled in those courses. Based on student feedback that exercise physiology is difficult, the authors chose this course in the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum for this post-only pilot study. SI was offered over a three-year period to physical therapist students enrolled in an exercise physiology course. The purposes of this study were to 1) determine the perceived benefits of SI by students who attended at least one session, 2) identify reasons students never attended SI or started attending SI and then stopped, 3) identify the degree of student satisfaction with SI, and 4) identify students’ willingness to recommend SI for exercise physiology or other DPT courses. An 18-item written questionnaire was the assessment method. A total of 203 students participated over the three-year period. Frequency distributions and percentages were calculated for each of the multiple choice questionnaire items to determine results of students’ perceptions of SI. Students’ perceived benefits included 1) improved academic performance, 2) improved confidence, 3) increased contact with other students, 4) improved understanding of the material, 5) improved motivation to learn, and 6) improved understanding of instructor expectations. Frequently cited reasons for never attending were conflicts with other courses and/or work schedule, and not perceiving the service as needed. Students cited lack of time to attend sessions and alternative study methods as frequent reasons for attending SI and then stopping. In each of the three years, at least 85% of the students who attended at least one SI session were satisfied. The percentage of students who would recommend SI for exercise physiology or other DPT courses was consistently ≥ 70%. Given the positive outcomes of this three-year implementation of SI in an entry-level physical therapy curriculum, other colleges and universities may wish to consider implementation of an SI program for health professions’ courses.
Psychological Consultation in Rehabilitation
Authors: Park Jihong , Nasypany Alan
Published: September 2021

Patients’ emotional well-being highly affects the outcomes of rehabilitation. Psychological interventions enhance the rehabilitation process. We describe a normal rehabilitation curve in which injured patients experience a cycle of emotional highs and lows. We also suggest a four-step consulting strategy to address these emotional changes during the rehabilitation process: (1) In which stage of change is the patient? (2) Does the clinician know the patient’s personality? (3) What are the goals of the patients and the clinicians? and (4) Does the patient adhere and stay motivated? Clinicians should explain the rehabilitation curve and use the four step strategy, so that patients stay motivated with positive emotional feelings.

Published: September 2021

Purpose. Undergraduate students interested in health careers often possess limited knowledge regarding the scope ofpractice of various health professions, particularly in allied health. Because of this, students sometimes enter a course of study in a field that is not compatible with their career plans or abilities. To date, there has been limited research exploring strategies to assist students in gaining knowledge of health careers. The purpose of this study was to investigate effectiveness of an Introduction to the Health Professions course on students Methods. Sixty-one undergraduate students who enrolled in an Introduction to the Health Professions course over five years were administered a pre and post course questionnaire related to their knowledge of seven allied health professions, including allopathic, naturopathic, osteopathic, and chiropractic medicine; physician assistant; occupational therapy; and physical therapy. For four of these professions, information was presented by a professional from that discipline. Results. A repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance indicated an overall statistically significant increase in accuracy of information regarding professional domains from pre to post test. Univariate repeated measures of analyses for each profession revealed a significant increase in knowledge regarding four of the seven professions (allopathic medicine, naturopathic medicine, physician assistant, and occupational therapy). In the disciplines where a clinician from that discipline presented the information, three of the four demonstrated significant increase in knowledge. Conclusion. Offering an Introduction to the Health Professions course may be an effective strategy for increasing student knowledge of various professions, particularly when information is presented by a clinician from that discipline. These courses have the potential to assist students in making informed decisions regarding their career path.
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in Rehabilitative Physiotherapy
Authors: Cimdi Chris
Published: September 2021

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is considered to be an essential component of clinical service delivery in healthcare. Australian physiotherapists have access to a wide range of resources to support the implementation of EBP. However, research indicates variability in how physiotherapists apply EBP with a range of factors affecting the successful implementation of EBP into everyday clinical practice. Using survey methodology, this study examined whether participation in an EBP professional development workshop is an effective strategy to enhance knowledge, attitudes and behaviours associated with EBP of physiotherapists working in a rehabilitation setting. Results revealed that nearly one third of participants rated their EBP knowledge and skills at a higher level following attendance at the workshop. An increase in the frequency in EBP related activities by physiotherapists including conducting searches and reading or reviewing research literature to support clinical decision-making was observed following attendance at the EBP workshop. Participants’ opinions of the value of EBP in improving the quality of patient care were noted to be more positive following the workshop. This small-scale study provides some promising results regarding the positive effects that designated EBP professional development can have on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of physiotherapists in their application of EBP. The elements that are required to further support and sustain a strong EBP culture amongst physiotherapists working in rehabilitation are also discussed.

O “legado” monetarismo de milton Friedman Milton friedman’s “legacy”
Authors: Nascimento Pedro Henrique
Published: September 2021

O presente estudo se propõe a discutir o legado teórico deixado por um dos maiores economistas do século XX, Milton Friedman, autor esse que revolucionou a teoria econômica ao questionar as proposições keynesianas e propor a moeda como a variável relevante a ser analisada e prescrições políticas que assegurassem a estabilidade econômica por meio de regras sobre esse agregado monetário. O roteiro da avaliação empreendida nesse trabalho foi, primeiramente, uma avaliação empírica da experiência monetarista implementada nos governos Margaret Thatcher (Inglaterra) e Paul Volcker (EUA) e, na sequência, uma discussão teórica sobre o que foi absorvido ou não pelas teorias econômicas que sucederam o monetarismo de Friedman. Com base nessas discussões, o estudo sustenta que a “herança” deixada pelo autor foi pequena quando comparada ao que não foi absorvido pelas demais teorias e a principal razão para esse fato repousa na baixa aderência verificada pela teoria de Friedman e os resultados empíricos observados durante sua experiência nos EUA e na Inglaterra.

 

This study aims to discuss the theoretical legacy left by one of the greatest economists of the 20th century, Milton Friedman, who revolutionized economic theory by questioning Keynesian propositions and proposing money as the relevant variable to be analyzed and political prescriptions that ensure economic stability through rules on this monetary aggregate. The evaluation tour undertaken in this work was, firstly, an empirical evaluation of the monetarist experience implemented in the Margaret Thatcher (England) and Paul Volcker (USA) governments, and then a theoretical discussion on what was or was not absorbed by the economic theories that succeeded Friedman's monetarism. Based on these discussions, the study argues that the legacy left by the author was small when compared to what was not absorbed by other theories and the main reason for this fact lies in the low adherence verified by Friedman's theory and the empirical results observed during his experiment. in the USA and England.

In order to elucidate the effects of feeding, segregation and refuges on the growth of freshwater catfish, Wallago attu, post-hatch larvae were fed with live zooplankton alone (moina) or combination between moina and one of the following food: commercial pellets or minced trash fish or cow liver. For impacts of segregation and refuges on the growth of W. attu, these treatments were applied seperately or in combination between segregation and refuges. The results indicated that final total length – (TLe: 54.0 ± 2.16 mm), specific growth rate of length – (SGRL: 15.6 ± 0.52%), final body weight – (BWe: 273.3 ± 23.7 mg) and specific growth rate of weight – (SGRW: 32.9 ± 0.97%) of fish fed with cow liver in treatment were significantly higher than that of other treatments (p<0.05). Size variation of fish fed with cow liver (CVL: 4.0 ± 0.16% and CVw: 8.7 ± 0.81%) and minced trash fish (CVL: 4.6 ± 0.22% and CVW: 8.9 ± 0.78%) were less than moina treatment alone (CVL: 9.0 ± 0.8% and CVw: 24.2 ± 5.64%) and commercial pellets (CVL: 7.1 ± 0.51% and CVw: 12.0 ± 1.5%). Segregation and combination between segregation and refuges reduced the cannibalism among the larvae in comparition with the other treatments. The treatments without refuges and non-segregation showed the highest cannibalism ratio (29.8%). There was no significant difference in the mortality between treatments ranged from 23.8% to 27.3% (p>0.05).

O Treinamento Físico Militar (TFM) tem como um de seus objetivos o desenvolvimento, manutenção ou recuperação da aptidão física necessária para o desempenho das atividades militares. São realizados treinamentos neuromuscular e cardiopulmonar, sendo a corrida principal representante deste último. A realização dos exercícios de maneira excessiva pode levar ao surgimento de lesões, o que ocorre com muita frequência no meio militar. Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar as lesões mais frequentes decorrentes da prática da corrida, caracterizando-as através da análise de imagens de Ressonância Magnética. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em diferentes bases de dados científicos a cerca do tema proposto. As lesões musculoesqueléticas mais comuns, decorrentes da corrida, são as de membros inferiores, destacando-se a síndrome de estresse tibial medial, tendinopatia de Aquiles, síndrome da banda iliotibial, fascite plantar, fratura de estresse nos metatarsos e tíbia. A Ressonância Magnética (RM) é um ótimo método para a avaliação das partes moles e óssea, sendo de fundamental importância no diagnóstico de casos duvidosos.
Lesões musculares em militares na prática esportiva: prevenção e tratamento
Authors: Pinto Tatiane de Souza
Published: September 2021

Os militares exercem várias atividades físicas e mentais com potenciais riscos à saúde. As miopatias relacionadas ao exercício são muito comuns na prática esportiva, sendo estas causadas, principalmente, por contusões e excessivas forças musculares, tornando-se necessária e essencial o conhecimento sobre essas lesões com o intuito de melhorar o processo de regeneração muscular e medidas preventivas. Avaliar aspectos clínicos, laboratoriais, terapêuticos e preventivos da miopatia induzida pelo exercício. Revisão bibliográfica contemplando artigos indexados nas bases de dados eletrônicas da U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (PubMed) e da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), utilizando referências da Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). Além disso, procedeu-se uma avaliação das referências bibliográficas dos artigos selecionados, para identificar outros estudos potencialmente relevantes. Os descritores foram obtidos junto ao DeCS e MeSH (Descritores em Ciências da Saúde e Medical Subject Headings, respectivamente), sendo a seleção dos estudos restrita a artigos em humanos. As enzimas creatina quinase (CK) e lactato desidrogenase (LDH) apresentam-se como marcadores de lesão muscular úteis para a avaliação da intensidade do exercício. Na fase aguda, o tratamento imediato para a lesão do músculo esquelético é conhecido como princípio PRICE (Proteção, Repouso, Gelo, Compressão e Elevação). O tratamento pós-fase aguda consiste em fisioterapia e em treinamentos musculares específicos. A ingestão nutricional ótima pré e pós- exercício é importante para ajudar na reparação e recondicionamento dos danos musculares. A decisão do retorno ao treino específico após lesão deve ser baseada na habilidade de alongar o músculo lesionado tanto quanto o lado contralateral sadio, e ausência da dor no músculo lesionado em movimentos básicos.

HEKİM-HASTA İLİŞKİSİNİ İYİLEŞTİRMEDE ETKİLİ BİR YÖNTEM: BALİNT GRUP YÖNTEMİ
Authors: SAMANCI Mustafa
Published: September 2021

Balint groups were put forward by Michael Balint, who studied the physician-patient relationship with its deep dimensions in the 1950s. The Balint group method consists of case presentations and general discussions that emphasize the emotional content of physician-patient relationships following the case presentation. One of the aims of establishing Balint groups is to help health professionals and medical students develop empathy skills to reduce communication difficulties between people. Today, worldwide widely used in a manner Approaches of Balint Group, was not given sufficient importance in Turkey. Today, although many scientific studies have been published about Balint groups, there is not any work published in Turkey. The purpose of this study is to discuss the results of some studies about the Balint Group Method and to explain the definition, content, and application of this method in family medicine. It is known that the Balint Group Method contributes greatly to the increase of physicians' empathy levels and to decrease their burnout levels. Nowadays, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, healthcare workers have quite tiring and difficult days and their burnout levels are increasing considerably. According to the results of the study, the application of the Balint Group Method by physicians in Covid-19 and the following period will contribute to better physician-patient relations as well as reduce the burnout levels of physicians. In Turkey, the introduction of the Balint Group Method, implementation, and inclusion in educational curricula are recommended. Also, it is recommended that physicians who have experienced the Balint Group Method contribute to the increase of the physician-patient relationship by making these experiences into scientific publications, sharing the results with the literature. As a result of the literature review, the implementation of this method in the virtual environment during the pandemic period and its spread throughout the world will make the application of this method even easier.

The rapid development of technology has deeply affected labour relationships. With the increasing technological developments, traditional mobbing, which is an important problem in labour relations, has started to leave its place to digital mobbing practices today. The biggest difference of digital mobbing from traditional mobbing is that the electronic devices used, eliminate the time and space factor. In this study, the effects of digital mobbing practices applied to employees in workplaces were examined through the example of private school teachers. The reason for choosing private school teachers is that the education sector is the sector where mobbing is encountered intensely. Teachers working in private schools in Elazig province constituted the population of the study. Semi-structured interview form, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. Interview forms were evaluated with content analysis. As a result of the study, it was determined that digital mobbing practices occur in private schools in a multidimensional way and negatively affect labour relationships.
