The Significance of Financial Competence and Risk Tolerance in Home-Related Expenditure by Jurisdiction and Regime
Authors: Clark Gordon L
Published: March 2021

Understanding observed geographical patterns in financial behaviour requires an analytical approach that joins global forces with national institutions and behavioural practices to account for similarities and differences in key explanatory variables. Patterns of home-related expenditures are regressed against individuals’ attributes including age, gender, income, and employment status along with measures of individual’s financial acumen. It is shown that there are differences in the statistical significance of individual attributes and financial factors (competence and risk tolerance) by jurisdiction, and between groups of jurisdictions distinguishing between Anglo-American and European countries. Implications are drawn for research at intersection of global finance, jurisdictional context and individual decision-making.
Prisoners’ Voices
Authors: Metzer David
Published: March 2021

Frederic Rzewski composed Coming Together and Attica in response to the 1971 uprising at the Attica Correctional Facility. The texts for the works draw upon testimonies of two men who participated in the riot: Samuel Melville and Richard X. Clark, respectively. Rzewski condemns the government crackdown on the uprising through representations of both prisoners and prison. In these and other works, the prisoner is a figure of suffering. Both Melville and Clark suffer through efforts to raise a voice about the hardships of incarceration only to have that voice break apart into fragments and silence. Prison emerges as a space of increasing confinement, conveyed by rigorous compositional schemes that tightly link individual sections and close them off in a larger sealed structure. The musical evocation of confinement along with the expression of psychological distress in the texts creates scenes of suffering. Through these scenes, Rzewski brings out the infliction of pain that scholars have viewed as a fundamental aspect of incarceration. The interaction between the critiques of incarceration and the compositional schemes in Coming Together and Attica is an example of how artists at the time (Steve Reich and sculptor Melvin Edwards) drew upon abstract idioms and materials in works that comment on contemporary political developments.

Assessing the Skills of Alberta’s Refracting Opticians: Can Opticians Safely and Independently Refract and Prescribe Optical Appliances?
Authors: Anderson Alyssa Erin , Hensel Gordon
Published: March 2021

Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces that permits optician-performed refractions. Recently, the Alberta College and Association of Opticians (ACAO) has requested an expansion of opticians’ scope of practice to include the ability to prescribe optical appliances, an activity currently restricted to optometrists and ophthalmologists. For the remainder of this paper, the term “prescribe” should be interpreted as the prescription of an optical appliance, not a therapeutic pharmaceutical agent. In this paper, we investigate whether designated refracting opticians in Alberta have adequate training and knowledge to safely and independently perform a refraction and prescribe an optical appliance. To answer this research question, we composed a list of 27 skills we deem necessary to safely and independently refract and prescribe. We then evaluated the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology’s (NAIT) opticianry programs and the entry to practice examinations administered by the National Association of Canadian Optician Regulators (NACOR) and the Optometry Examining Board of Canada (OEBC) in terms of their coverage of these 27 skills. Our findings show that NAIT’s optical science programs either do not cover or do not practically assess students on over half (59 percent) of the skills required to safely and independently refract and prescribe, and the NACOR examination fails to cover 77 percent of the skills required to safely refract and prescribe. Based on this information, refracting opticians in Alberta do not possess adequate training and knowledge to safely and independently perform a refraction and prescribe an optical appliance. Granting opticians the legislative authority to independently refract and prescribe may result in a public health issue, as there may be an increase in the number of un-diagnosed or un-detected eye and systemic diseases.

Authors: Pinto Letícia Pereira , De Bem Felipe Hendler , Dani Caroline , Garin Norberto , Carteri Randhall , Fernandes Sabrina Alves
Published: March 2021

Fundamento: Sabe-se que o futebol de várzea, principalmente na forma recreativa, ou seja, não realizado de forma contínua, torna-se uma prática irregular de exercício físico, que em conjunto com maus hábitos de vida e uma má alimentação torna os seus praticantes expostos a eventos cardiovasculares. Objetivo: Verificar a existência de fatores de risco para eventos cardiovasculares relacionados ao consumo alimentar e composição corporal de jogadores de futebol de várzea. Metodologia: Foram avaliados 17 jogadores do gênero masculino, acima de 18 anos. Para aferição da taxa metabólica basal e avaliação da composição corporal, foi utilizado o aparelho de bioimpedância elétrica (BIA) da marca Bydinamics modelo p450. Foi aferido a circunferência de cintura (CC) e IMC, a partir das medidas de peso e altura. Foi realizado um recordatório alimentar de 24 horas e para cálculo destes, foi utilizado software Avanutri® online. E a frequência de consumo dos grupos alimentares foi analisada através do teste “Como está sua alimentação?”. Além disso, foram calculados o Índice de conicidade e a relação cintura-estatura. Resultados: A alimentação dos jogadores caracterizou-se hiperprotéica (23,75% do VCT), hipoglicídica (49,45% do VCT) e normolipídica (27,03%), porém deficitária a nível de micronutrientes. O perfil antropométrico da população foi de sobrepeso em 76,5% dos participantes, 5,9% obesos e 16,6% eutrófico. Também 82,4% apresentou relação cintura-estatura elevada e 70,6% dos indivíduos possuíam Índice de conicidade acima do recomendado. Conclusão: Os jogadores analisados apresentaram comprometimento no padrão alimentar e antropométrico, podendo refletir negativamente nas funções vitais dos indivíduos, tornando-os potencialmente suscetíveis a eventos cardiovasculares.
Speech Patterns in Litigation Documents (Exemplified by Decrees)
Authors: Donskova Yuliia
Published: March 2021

The study focuses on speech patterns typically used in litigation documents issued at the stage of criminal proceeding initiation and pre-trial investigation, which belong to the genre of decree. It is stated that Russian Federation Criminal Procedure Code and most of the Comments to it lack any language requirements to the text organization in these litigation documents. The article is aimed at defining characteristics of the decree genre structure; in particular, lexical and grammatical means that are used in decree texts are equated to the language norms. Some most frequent cases of lexical compatibility violation within set expressions and cliché of litigation documents and their combinations are detected. The author adheres to the opinion that language norms violations may have legal consequences in qualifying offenses and their types. The analysis of syntactic structure of sentences reveals that there is no distinction in the linguistic category of event completeness, in the texts they are presented as hypothetical events. Several aspects of modality in decree texts are studied. The author lays down some requirements on composing a narrative part of the decree as a forensic genre, makes an assertion that it is time to formulate some firm linguistic criteria of decree documentation organization and indicate the consent on expediency of linguistic expertize.

I denne artikkelen diskuterer vi veiledningsstudenters opplevelser fra gruppeveiledning. I forskningsprosjektet artikkelen bygger på undersøker vi hvordan studentenes læringsprosesser kan bidra til å videreutvikle gruppeveiledning som veiledningsform. Vi fikk tillatelse til å undersøke studentenes fagtekster fra en gruppeveiledningsøvelse. Analysen av fagtekstene ga tre kategorier for videre diskusjon; redskaper, vendepunkter og roller. Disse kategoriene diskuteres i lys Bakhtins begreper, dialog, heteroglossia, splittelser og samklang. Drøftingene viser at uenighet, spenninger og ulike forståelser av redskaper og roller i veiledning ofte underkommuniseres. Ulike stemmer kommer lite til uttrykk og disse stemmene kan i større grad benyttes som ressurs for læring. Videre viser diskusjonen at metakommunikasjon har potensial til å styrke læringsprosessene i gruppeveiledningen og i veilederutdanningen.
Réflexion didactique sur le face à face distant entre le chinois et le français
Authors: ZHANG Li
Published: March 2021

Le face à face entre le français et le chinois est d’emblée marqué par la distance : une langue fortement structurée, et une autre où règnent la concision et la juxtaposition de l’autre. Ce dernier type de langue est considérée comme la langue «sensible au contexte». Pourtant, du point de vue de l’ensemble de la grammaire, la langue «sensible au contexte» montre quand même certaine insensibilité au contexte qu’on ne trouve pas dans bien des autres langues «sensibles à la syntaxe». Comment gérer la dépendance au contexte du chinois au plan didactique et pédagogique ? Comment profiter de cette insensibilité au contexte pour remédier à la dépendance au contexte ? La réflexion sur ces problèmes plus fondamentaux peut avoir en effet en retour sur l’apprentissage.

Pembelajaran daring telah menjadi trend sejak lebih dari satu dekade lalu. Tetapi, adanya pandemi COVID-19 di tahun 2020 semakin mendesak kebutuhan untuk menerapkan pembelajaran daring di seluruh jenjang pendidikan, termasuk di lembaga pelatihan kerja (LPK). Topik mengenai pembelajaran bahasa Jepang di LPK telah banyak diteliti, tetapi topik yang berfokus pada evaluasi pembelajaran bahasa Jepang di kelas daring pada masa pandemi belum banyak dieksplorasi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas tentang pelaksanaan evaluasi pembelajaran daring kelas Engineer di LPK Mulia Meisou Indonesia (LPK MMI) dengan berfokus pada: 1) pelaksanaan evaluasi pembelajaran bunpou di kelas Engineer LPK MMI, 2) bagaimana hasil dari evaluasi tersebut.  Telaah pada dokumen catatan guru, hasil tes siswa, serta wawancara pada siswa dilakukan untuk mencari uraian dari fokus penelitian. Evaluasi pembelajaran bunpou di kelas Engineer LPK MMI dilaksanakan dengan memanfaatkan Google Forms. Hasil tes menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata kelas bervariasi pada tiap tes, dengan adanya faktor penyerta yang diduga dapat memengaruhi hasil tes. Evaluasi melalui tes berbasis google forms dianggap memadai untuk menjaring informasi tentang penguasaan materi belajar oleh siswa. Tetapi, evaluasi melalui Google Forms perlu disertai dengan langkah-langkah lanjutan agar dapat terpetakan masalah yang sesungguhnya dihadapi oleh siswa dalam proses pembelajaran, agar evaluasi pembelajaran dapat menyentuh hal-hal terkait proses belajar dengan lebih menyeluruh.

Published: March 2021

As contribuições sistêmicas da obra de José Proença Brochado para a arqueologia brasileira (e para arqueologia dos povos falantes do tronco Tupi) foram sentidas já na década de 1980. Sobre temas como território, organização social, tecnologias, movimento e expansão, alimentação e produção, foram abertas novas janelas interpretativas e abordagens metodológicas que influenciaram as novas gerações de pesquisadores e pesquisadoras. Influenciados por sua obra, apresentamos um estudo em dois contextos arqueológicos de sítios Guarani no sul do Brasil – ao sul da laguna dos Patos e no litoral sul de Santa Catarina –, pensando-os a partir de uma perspectiva sistêmica de domínio territorial. Partindo, sobretudo, dos resultados das análises de coleções cerâmicas presentes nos sítios arqueológicos, foram mobilizados parâmetros para se pensar o uso do espaço, sendo identificados locais de moradia permanente e de acampamentos temporários, que estariam articulados entre si e distribuídos dentro de um território de domínio – o teko’á.

Introduction: Prostate cancer metastasis to clivus and occipital condyle are extremely rare and only a few cases are published. We present a case with metastasis of prostate cancer to skull base causing occipital condyle syndrome (OCS).

Case Presentation: A-56-year-old man was referred to our clinic with complaints of dysphagia for two months and headache on his right occipital region for five months. There was deviation of the tongue to the right side in his physical examination. He was performed surgery for prostate adenocarcinoma for 2 years ago. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography showed a mass destructed to the clivus and right occipital condyle. Biopsy confirmed the prostate adenocarcinoma metastasis. The patient died after two months from diagnosis of skull base metastasis.

Conclusion: Otolaryngologists and urologists should be aware for early diagnosis of OCS in a patient with prostate cancer. Early physical and radiological examination of the patients may improve the prognosis.

Authors: Darma Darma
Published: March 2021

Traditional method of sago starch extraction was a time and labor intensive process. The most laborious stage is pith disintegration which is done by using hammer-like tools called pounder. However, the use of rasping machine to disintegrate the pith is saving time and energy significantly. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of teeth diameter and cylinder rotation speed on performance of cylinder type sago rasping machine. In the experiment, four variations of teeth diameter i.e. 3mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm, and three levels of cylinder rotation speed i.e. 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm and 2500 rpm were examined. Results showed that both teeth diameter and cylinder rotation speed significantly affect the rasping capacity. Likewise teeth diameter also significantly affect on starch percentage and starch losses in waste.  Meanwhile, cylinder rotation speed and the interaction of the two factors have no significant effect on the starch percentage and starch loss in waste. The highest performance was obtained at the condition of teeth diameter 3 mm with cylinder rotation speed of 2500 rpm.  The performance of the machine at the condition were (a) rasping capacity 2282 kg h-1, (b) starch percentage 33.02 %, (wb), (c) starch loss in waste 8.77 %.

Predicting Cement-Sheath Integrity with Consideration of Initial State of Stress and Thermoporoelastic Effects

Published: March 2021

In conventional wellbore-integrity analysis, the cement sheath’s initial state of stress and transient thermoporoelastic effects are often neglected. However, the initial state of stress is prerequisite information for accurately predicting the safe operating conditions that prevent a cemented well from being damaged. In addition, transient thermoporoelastic effects can have a profound effect on when damage will occur. In this paper, we propose a model that includes these effects to predict the safe operating pressures and temperatures that will prevent cement-sheath failure. For the initial state of stress, we proposed an empirical model using measurements. Subsequent stress changes are evaluated by a fully coupled transient thermoporoelastic model to analyze the mechanical behavior of the cement sheath. We predict the safe operating envelope (SOE) for shear, tensile, and debonding cement-sheath failures caused by pressure and temperature perturbations after the cement sets. Our model predicts that pore pressure is a key factor for cement failure, especially for rapid temperature changes. If the formation is low permeability, the transient pore pressures are amplified, causing the risk of damage to increase. Compared with conventional thermoelastic models, the thermoporoelastic model predicts a smaller SOE when heating the internal casing fluid and a larger envelope when cooling the internal casing fluid. Finally, the heating rate was considered with respect to field applications. The heating rate was also considered, and slower heating/cooling rates can prevent damage to the cement sheath. Finally, the thermoporoelastic model was applied to explain several laboratory and field experiments and achieved good matches.

Quantitative data was collected through document review for MPDSR implementation status. The outcome was determined by using special scoring sheet with a total 30 points. Facilities that scored 10 points or above were considered to have satisfactory status of MPDSR implementation while the facilities that scored below 10 points were considered to have unsatisfactory status of MPDSR implementation. Bivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the predictors of implementation status among health facilities.ResultsMajority of health facilities 20(52.6%) had satisfactory MPDSR implementation status. The predictors of MPDSR implementation in a facility were level of health facility [Hospital (AOR = 11.945 at 95% CI = 1.133 – 125.942, P = 0.039)] and ownership of the facility [Public (AOR = 0.133 at 95% CI = 0.019 – 0.920, P = 0.041)].ConclusionMPDSR implementation status among health facility is on average not satisfactory. More efforts are needed to raise the status of MPDSR implementation in the country so that the maximum benefit of MPDSR is obtained.

The cadmium ion concentration in drinking water is frequently found higher in different part of the world as per international recommendation. It is crucial to reduce concentration in water by sustainable and environmentally friendly means. We tested the biomass of Jamun (JP) and Amaltash (AT) seeds to remove cadmium from synthetic wastewater cost effectively. The biomasses were characterized by functional groups (FTIR), crystalline structures (XRD), and elemental analysis (ICP) techniques. Experimentation the optimization study has been carried out by using Design-software 6.0.8. Response surface methodology has been applied to design the experiments where we have used three factors and three levels Box-Behnken design (BBD). Cadmium removal ability of bio-sorbents were evaluated in bench-top reactor and optimized at various solution pH, adsorbent dose, and cadmium concentration in synthetic wastewater. At initial cadmium concentration 2 mg/litre, pH 6, adsorbent dose 60 mg and stirring speed 300 rpm the cadmium removal was ~95% and ~93% from synthetic wastewater by JP and AT seed biomass, respectively. The adsorption behaviour of cadmium ions well explained following Temkin model (AT r2=0.988; JP r2=0.984) and maximum adsorption capacity 3.88 mg g−1 (JP) and 4.54 mg g−1 (AT) after 70 minutes under optimal set of condition and proved to be an efficient and eco-friendly bio-sorbent for cadmium removal.

Background: Human Fascioliasis is a zoonotic infection caused by the adult stage of Fasciola species. Fasciola hepatica is a parasite that, following living in its vertebrate host, reduces the host's inflammatory immune responses to infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Therefore, because of the completely unproven and limited data on this issue, we decided to evaluate the prevalence of antibodies against this parasite in patients admitted to the hospital due to relatively severe symptoms of COVID-19.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the serum samples of 182 patients with COVID-19 disease who were diagnosed by PCR test and 210 healthy subjects in Alborz Province, Iran between March and June 2020. Anti-Fasciola antibodies status was determined in all serum samples, using ELISA technique. A self-developed questionnaire was used to measure demographic information.Results: The frequency of Fasciola infection was found to be significantly higher in COVID-19 patients as compared to healthy control (n = 4, 2.2%, n = 9, 4.3%; respectively) (P = 0.041). There was no significant difference between COVID-19 patients and control group in age, education, and gender (P > 0.05).Conclusions: This study indicates that a significant association between Fasciola hepatica seropositivity and COVID-19 disease. Our finding suggests that Fasciola infection may be able to lead to decreased immune responses, thereby reducing the severity and symptoms of COVID-19 disease.

Background and Objectives: The adjuvant treatment of stem cell therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been studied in multiple clinical trials, but many questions remain to be answered, such as the best seed cells, transplant dosage, and transplant timing. We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to explore the issues related to the treatment of AMI based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation and to guide the design of subsequent clinical studies to achieve better clinical endpoints.Methods: The Pubmed, Embase databases, and Cochrane Library were searched for clinical studies between January 1, 2000, and January 23, 2021. Studies that evaluated the effect of MSCs transplantation on AMI were identifified. According to the Cochrane systematic review method, the literature quality of the included studies was evaluated, and valid data were extracted. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 15.1 software were used for Meta-analysis.Results: After a literature search and detailed evaluation, 9 randomized controlled trials with a total of 460 individuals were included in the quantitative analysis. Pooled analyses indicated that MSCs transplantation was associated with a greater improvement of left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (mean difference [MD], 3.08%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.81 to 4.35; P< 0.00001; I2=89%) than controls. A subgroup analysis was conducted to explore the results according to differences in follow-up time, transplantation dose and time of MSCs injected. The improvement effect of LVEF was maintained for up to 24 months after MSCs treatment. For transplantation dose, the LVEF of patients who accepted a MSC dose of 107-108 cells exhibited an LVEF improvement of 2.62% (95% CI 1.54 to 3.70; P < 0.00001; I2 =0%), but this improvement was insignificant in the subgroup that accepted a MSC dose of < 107 cells (1.65% in LVEF, 95% CI, 0.03 to 3.27; P=0.05; I2 =75%) or >108 cells (4.65% in LVEF, 95% CI, -4.55 to 13.48; P=0.32; I2 =95%), compared with the control. The LVEF of patients accepting a MSCs infusion within 2 to 14 days after Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was significantly increased by 3.18% (95% CI, 2.89 to 3.47; P<0.00001; I2 = 0). MSCs therapy was not associated with an increased risk of major adverse events.Conclusion: Results from our systematic review suggest that MSCs transplantation can improve the heart function of patients with AMI, and the effect was maintained for up to 24 months. MSC dose of 107-108 cells was more likely to achieve better clinical endpoints than <107 or >108 cells. The optimal time window for cell transplantation may be within 2-14 days after PCI.

Published: March 2021

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently gained growing interest for their diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Despite this, few protocols have been reported for the isolation of EVs with preserved biological function. Most EV purification methods include a precipitation step that results in aggregation of vesicles and most available techniques do not efficiently separate the various types of EVs such as exosomes, microvesicles, microparticles, and ectosomes which are involved in distinct biological processes. For this reason, we developed a new two-step fast performance liquid chromatography (FPLC) protocol for purification of large numbers of EVs. The method comprises size exclusion chromatography followed by immobilized metal affinity chromatography, which is enabled by expression of poly-histidine tagged folate receptor α in the parental cells. Characterisation and comparison of the EVs obtained by this method to EVs purified by differential centrifugation, currently the most common method to isolate EVs, demonstrated higher purity and more selective enrichment of exosomes in EV preparations using our FPLC method, as assessed by comparison of marker proteins and density distribution. Our studies reveal new possibilities for the isolation of defined subpopulations of EVs with preserved biological function that can easily be upscaled for production of larger amounts of EVs.

Background: Isolated coronary sinus atrial septal defect (ASD) is defined as a coronary sinus unroofed in the terminal portion without a persistent left superior vena cava and other anomalies. This defect is rare and part of a wide spectrum of unroofed coronary sinus syndromes. Recently, several reports have described this finding. We searched the hospital’s database to determine the incidence of this defect, and to raise awareness of this condition, we discussed the findings from five patients with coronary sinus ASD who underwent surgical repair.Case presentation: The patients were three women and two men with an age range of 63–77 years. All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography, and one underwent magnetic resonance imaging. In two patients, the defect was found unexpectedly intraoperatively; left-to-right shunting was apparent in the other three patients preoperatively. The pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio ranged from 1.42 to 3.1 following cardiac catheterization, and oxygen saturation step-up was seen on the right side of the heart. Valvular regurgitation was seen in 4/5 patients with the mitral, tricuspid, and aortic valves involved in different combinations and to different degrees. Right atrial and ventricular dilation were seen in 4/5 patients; three patients had left atrial dilation. Three patients experienced atrial fibrillation, and one of these also experienced paroxysmal ventricular contractions. All patients underwent surgical repair, and some underwent multiple procedures. One patient who had previously undergone kidney transplantation died approximately 1 year postoperatively; the remaining four patients are currently experiencing good activities of daily living without symptoms. Conclusions: Coronary sinus ASD (Kirklin and Barratt–Boyes type IV unroofed coronary sinus syndrome) comprised 1.3% of adult congenital heart surgeries and 0.07% of adult open-heart surgeries in our hospital from 1999 to 2019. Our hospital performs cardiac surgery mainly for patients with acquired cardiac disease, and coronary sinus ASD is rare. Early diagnosis and, in symptomatic patients (especially those with blood access shunts, which may overload the heart), early surgical repair are important. The poorly prognostic case in our series is noteworthy, as similar cases have not been reported previously.

BackgroundHealth care workers (HCWs) are at risk for occupational stress. The negative effects of stress HCWs subsequently affect the quality of their job performance. Since 2014, there have been extensive changes in the primary health care system in Iran. Because evidence has shown that organizational change can cause stress in employees, this study was designed and conducted to explore the perceived job demands by HCWs in primary care centers after extensive organizational change.MethodA qualitative study was designed with a content analysis approach. Study data were collected through 11 semi-structured individual interviews and a focus group with HCWs.ResultsParticipants reported high stress at work. They reported various factors as stressful job demands. These factors included: organization's supervisory function (Weakness of the monitoring process, Unfair policies, Apply regulatory pressure), Role features (Role load, Role conflicts, Role ambiguity(,Workload )High workload, Not having time, Great variety of tasks), job insecurity (Lack of job security due to employment status, Concerns about payments, Lack of physical security, Uncertain job future), Working with clients (Different characteristics of clients, Harassment of clients to achieve their expectations, Tensions in client relationships, Lack of knowledge of clients about health care work instructions), Perceived job content (Annoying work with different units of the organization, Monotonous and repetitive tasks, Meaningless tasks, No attractive and no excitement).ConclusionCurrently, HCWs working in health centers are faced with various stressful situations. Most of the factors identified in this study overlap in increasing stress. The impact of workload and organizational oversight on occupational stress seems to be more pronounced. Given the important role of HCWs in promoting health, the design and implementation of effective interventions by policymakers to control stress in HCWs is essential.
