Awakening professionals' critical awareness of health literacy issues within a francophone linguistic-minority population in Ontario
Authors: Zanchetta MS , Maheu C , Fontaine C , Salvador-Watts L , Wong N
Published: October 2020

Introduction

We carried out a qualitative evaluation of immediate learning and attitudinal change among health care and social services professionals who attended a workshop promoting critical reflection about health literacy among linguistic-minority Franco-Ontarians.

Methods

The study involved 41 francophone health care and social services professionals. The workshop facilitator used evocative objects to elicit reflection on health literacy. Data sources were audio-recordings of group discussions and feedback forms completed by participants.

Results

The study found that the workshop awakened participants' awareness of health literacy and stimulated them to promote health literacy in their professional practice. The workshop also broadened participants' vision of health literacy as a social determinant of health that interacts synergistically with culture, age, immigration status, social support, and socioeconomic status.

Conclusion

Professionals expressed their awakened awareness of health literacy as collective accountability. This corroborates our claim that critical pedagogy applied to in-service education effectively stimulates professionals' awareness of their potential to change their practice and work environment.
Self-reported health behaviour change in adults: analysis of the Canadian Community Health Survey 4.1
Authors: Haberman C , Brauer P , Dwyer JJ , Edwards AM
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Knowledge of Canadians' experiences in making health behaviour changes (HBCs) in general, and among those at risk due to body mass index (BMI), would help inform health promotion / disease prevention programs. Selected self reported HBCs in the past 12 months by BMI category were examined in this secondary analysis of the Canadian Community Health Survey 4.1. These HBCs included increased sports/exercise, weight loss and improved eating habits. Barriers to HBC were also examined.

Methods

Descriptive analyses and forward stepwise logistic regression were completed on data from respondents 18 years and older. Self-reported BMI was corrected by the method of Connor Gorber et al. (2008).

Results

Our final sample was n = 111 449. Overall, 58% of respondents had made an HBC, with increased sports/exercise as the most important HBC in 29% of the sample, followed by improved eating habits (10%) and weight loss (7%). Half (51%) experienced barriers to HBC; lack of will power was most commonly cited, followed by work and family responsibilities. Obese respondents reported HBC more frequently than normal-weight respondents (60% vs. 55%), but the prevalence of increased sports/ exercise and improved eating habits was similar across BMI categories. Regression models accounted for only 6%-10% of the total variance.

Conclusion

That a majority of respondents had made at least one HBC bodes well for positively shifting population health. Additional work to further characterize the population, and to improve on population indicators, is needed to assess the impact of health promotion/disease prevention efforts. These findings provide important first population benchmarks for future work.
Changements de comportement en matière de santé autodéclarés chez les adultes : une analyse de l’Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes, cycle 4.1
Authors: Haberman C , Brauer P , Dwyer JJ , Edwards AM
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Connaître l'expérience des Canadiens ayant trait aux changements de comportement en matière de santé (CCS), que ce soit en général ou celle des personnes à risque en raison de leur indice de masse corporelle (IMC), serait utile à l'élaboration de programmes de promotion de la santé et de prévention des maladies. Nous avons ainsi examiné, dans le cadre d'une analyse secondaire du cycle 4.1 de l'Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes, une sélection de CCS autodéclarés au cours des douze derniers mois, par catégorie d'IMC : faire plus d'exercice ou de sport, perdre du poids et améliorer ses habitudes alimentaires. Nous nous sommes aussi penchés sur les obstacles aux CCS.

Méthodologie

Nous avons analysé les données provenant des répondants de 18 ans et plus à l'aide d'une méthode de régression logistique progressive ascendante. Les IMC autodéclarés ont été corrigés à l'aide de la méthode de Connor Gorber et ses collaborateurs (2008).

Résultats

Notre échantillon final était de 111 449 répondants. Sur l'ensemble des répondants, 58 % avait fait un CCS, l'augmentation de la pratique sportive ou d'exercice étant le plus important (29 % des répondants), suivi par l'amélioration des habitudes alimentaires (10 %) et la perte de poids (7 %). La moitié (51 %) des répondants avaient rencontré des obstacles, le manque de volonté étant l'obstacle le plus souvent mentionné, suivi par l'emploi du temps professionnel et les responsabilités familiales. Les répondants obèses ont fait état de CCS plus souvent que les répondants dont le poids était normal (60 % contre 55 %), mais la fréquence de l'augmentation de la pratique sportive ou d'exercice et de l'amélioration des habitudes alimentaires était similaire selon toutes les catégories d'IMC. Les modèles de régression ne représentaient que de 6 % à 10 % de la variance totale.

Conclusion

Le fait que la majorité des répondants ait tenté d'apporter au moins un CCS est de bon augure pour une évolution positive de la santé de la population. D'autres travaux sont nécessaires pour mieux caractériser la population et pour améliorer les indicateurs qui lui sont associés, et ainsi évaluer l'incidence des efforts de promotion de la santé et de prévention des maladies. Nos résultats fournissent des données de référence pouvant servir de base à ces travaux.
Agreement between survey data and Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) data with respect to the diagnosis of asthma and medical services use for asthma in children
Authors: Plante C , Goudreau S , Jacques L , Tessier F
Published: October 2020

Introduction

The goal of this study was to assess the agreement between the results of a respiratory health survey conducted in Montréal on children aged 6 months to 12 years and the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ, Quebec health insurance board) database in terms of the diagnosis of asthma and medical services use. A secondary aim was to evaluate the effect of the survey method used (Internet-based survey or telephone survey).

Methods

We assessed whether a diagnosis of asthma was made for 7922 children. In addition, we compared the use of medical services for asthma (emergency department visits and hospitalizations) in the 12 months preceding the survey for the 402 children considered to have asthma, using 2 groups of respiratory diagnoses and 2 data linkage periods. The agreement between the 2 data sources was evaluated using the kappa statistic (κ) and sensitivity and specificity, as well as percentages of agreement, overreporting and under-reporting with respect to health services use.

Results

Moderate agreement was found between the 2 data sources (survey and RAMQ data) in terms of the diagnosis of asthma (κ = 0.54 and κ = 0.60 depending on the definition used). Specificity was high (93% and 96%), but sensitivity varied (50% and 65%). Respondents over-reported health services use, resulting in moderate kappa values (0.49 for emergency department visits and 0.48 for hospitalizations). However, when more diagnoses were included in the definition and when the linkage period was extended (15 rather than 12 months), the kappa values increased (0.59 for emergency department visits and 0.64 for hospitalizations) and sensitivity and specificity were high. Slightly higher agreement was obtained for the Internet-based survey relative to the telephone survey.

Conclusion

The findings validate the use of survey data with respect to the diagnosis of pediatric asthma and major health services use for this disease.
Roll-your-own tobacco use among Canadian youth: current prevalence and changes in youth smoking “rollies” since 2008
Authors: Cole AG , Leatherdale ST , Rynard VL
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Roll-your-own (RYO) cigarettes, or “rollies,” represent an affordable alternative to manufactured cigarettes, especially among youth with a lower disposable income. This study characterizes changes in the prevalence of RYO tobacco current use between 2008 and 2010 in Canadian youth and examines the sociodemographic characteristics associated with RYO use in 2010.

Methods

This study uses representative data collected from grade 9 to 12 students as part of the 2008/2009 and 2010/2011 cycles of the Canadian Youth Smoking Survey (YSS).

Results

Among current smokers, 30.5% currently use RYO cigarettes. Youth with a disposable income of more than $100 each week were less likely to be current RYO users (OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.34–0.71). Current RYO tobacco users were more likely to be current alcohol users (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.09–3.72) or marijuana users (OR = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.73–4.01).

Conclusion

RYO cigarettes continue to provide an affordable alternative to youth smokers. Targeted school-based prevention programs that address the use of RYO cigarettes may offer additional reductions to the use of RYO cigarettes.
El retorno de Moscú: la gran estrategia de Rusia en la era Putin (2000-2020)
Authors: Gonzalez Levaggi Ariel
Published: October 2020

Desde el ascenso de Vladimir Putin al poder, Rusia ha combinado estabilidad política y económica con asertividad internacional, lo que ha sentado las bases para el regreso de Moscú a la primera plana del escenario mundial. El artículo presenta las principales discusiones en torno a la gran estrategia de la Federación de Rusia y analiza la trayectoria de su política exterior desde la llegada de Vladimir Putin al poder hasta el inicio de la crisis global de la covid-19. Desde la perspectiva del realismo neoclásico, el principal argumento es que Rusia posee una gran estrategia pragmática basada en un trípode de objetivos –preservación de estatus como potencia global, primacía en el espacio postsoviético y disuasión a la expansión de la otan– que se implementan mediante la utilización de una gama amplia de herramientas, incluida la coerción por vías militares. A continuación, se desarrolla la evolución de la estrategia internacional del pragmatismo estratégico ruso que generó una serie de tensiones con Occidente tras las crisis de Georgia en 2008 y Ucrania en 2014, en paralelo con el ascenso de un vector alternativo eurasiático.
An excerpt from “Macbeth” by W. Shakespeare, translated and interpreted by Anna Akhmatova
Authors: Kihney L. G. , Lamzina A. V.
Published: October 2020

The translation of an excerpt from Shakespeare’s tragedy “Macbeth”, made by A.A. Akhmatova in 1933 is considered in the article. The results of a comparative analysis of the original text and the translation text are presented. The question of the purpose of translation is raised: it is proved that Akhmatova did not intend to translate the text of the tragedy in full, and the translation of the passage she performed was not a sketch for a failed translation, but an attempt to plunge into the semiosphere of “Macbeth”. The relevance of the study is due to a detailed analysis of the translation text, which had not previously been subjected to thorough literary research. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that in the translation performed by Akhmatova the authors highlight semiotic shifts concerning the image of Macbeth: it differs in Akhmatova’s interpretation from Shakespeare’s. The authors dwell on the textual gaps of translation and show their importance for understanding the image of Macbeth: Akhmatova eliminates in the text all the moments that could characterize Macbeth positively. Particular attention is paid to references to Macbeth that appeared in Akhmatova’s work after her translation of the above passage. It has been proven that this translation became the generator of Akhmatova’s own artistic ideas, developed in the “Shakespearean” key.
Personnel Potential for Ensuring Food Security in the Post-War Five Years (1946—1950): Experience of Irkutsk Region
Authors: Vasilyeva K. K. , Ochirov O. R.
Published: October 2020

The dynamics of the quantity and quality of personnel employed in the agricultural production of the region during the first post-war five years is studied. The forms and methods of their preparation for professional activity and retraining, as well as advanced training of executives are researched. The main source for the research was the materials of the State Archives of the Irkutsk Region. The novelty is represented by the formulation and solution of the problem, which, taking into account the designated chronological and territorial framework, has not been considered previously. In addition, the author analyzes empirical material introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The relevance of the study is due to the need to ensure the country’s food security, which presupposes the availability of a sufficient number of professionally trained personnel. It is noted that the relevance of the study is also increasing due to the fact that since the 1990s, machine-technological stations have again begun to be created in Russia. As a result of the study, the structure and quantitative composition of personnel employed in agricultural production was revealed, depending on the place and type of their activity. The dynamics of personnel by years of the study period is analyzed. The presence and level of technical and general material base for training and retraining of machine operators, specialists and other workers have been studied. A comparison of the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the personnel potential at the end of the five-year period with the indicators of the pre-war 1940 and with the indicators of 1945 is made, the main indicators are given in comparison with the data for the whole country.

Published: October 2020

Some problems of the foundations of offshore wind turbines are considered in this paper. A short review is presented on the two basic types of foundations, i.e. monopiles and gravity foundations, including their basic features and applications as well as general design considerations. Also, some issues regarding analysis are discussed, including geotechnical problems and modelling techniques. A numerical model of offshores turbine and some preliminary computations are presented. Finite element analysis was carried out for wind turbines supported on both gravity and monopile foundations. The wind turbine tower, blades (simplified model), gravity foundation and part of the surrounding soil are included in the model. The turbine was loaded by wind and loads induced by waves, inertia and gravity. Both non-linear static and dynamic analysis of the wind turbine was performed. The displacements and stresses under the tower foundations were calculated and a comparison analysis carried out.

Published: October 2020

From the point of view of environmental protection, it is reasonable to stop using disposable tableware that has been made from polluting plastics and to start using biodegradable and compostable products. Biodegradable and compostable tableware is significantly more environment and nature friendly than disposable plastic tableware and drinkware. The by-products (mostly bran) from the milling of wheat, corn and rice and palm leaves are used for the production of tableware. In the Baltic States, including Estonia, it is reasonable to use wheat bran, rye bran and buckwheat bran and the mixtures of these brans. The aim of this research was to provide the technical and technological know-how for the production of environment friendly disposable tableware and to verify the suitability of the new technological means. In order to achieve the aim, a punch and a die were modelled to produce disposable plates with desired parameters, materials and work modes for the material were chosen and, thereafter, the plates were produced from bran using a physical punch and die and using a suitable moulding mode or temperature and compression duration and using prescribed compressive forces. The mechanical properties like density and flexural strength of the moulded plates were determined.
Effect of Combining Different Substrates and Inoculum Sources on Bioelectricity Generation and COD Removal in a Two-Chambered Microbial FuelCell: A Preliminary Investigation
Authors: Marks Joshua , Kirkel Johan , Sekoai Patrick , Enweremadu Christopher , Daramola Michael
Published: October 2020

In recent years, fuel cells have become a renewable source of energy. Among different kinds of fuel cells, microbial fuel cells, which convert organic substrates to electricity by electrogenic bacteria have attracted most attention. In this study, which is preliminary in nature, potential of electricity generation and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal were studied in a two-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) reactor. Effect of type of feedstock and inoculum source on bioelectricity generation and COD removal was studied as well. Brewery wastewater and potato waste were used as substrates while anaerobic sludge and cow dung were used as inoculum sources. The substrate and inoculum sources were in 8.2:1 ratio and a phosphate buffer was added to the anode compartment to regulate the pH. The system was operated at 30 °C and a home-made membrane served as a bridge between the electrodes. A maximum voltage of 3.6 mV was generated from the brewery wastewater sludge and the maximum COD removal after 3 days was 43.7 %. It was further found that the use of animal dung as inoculum source outperformed the use of sludge as regard the bioelectricity generation but not for COD removal. Similarly, the use of the brewery waste as an organic substrate outperformed the use of potato waste as regard the bioelectricity generation but not for COD removal. All experiments yielded a measurable voltage, however, the unsteady behaviour of the voltage output made it difficult to compare substrates in terms of their viability as organic fuel. Therefore, future studies should consider conducting substrate physico-chemical analysis and genomic analysis of the inoculum sources to understand their composition.

Authors: Muizniece Indra , Kubule Anna , Zihare Lauma , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: October 2020

This study is a follow-up to previous research on the use of a transdisciplinary approach in the analysis of factors that influence bioeconomy development and interactions between them. It is very important to consider the significance of public opinion while performing transdisciplinary research. This study integrates public opinion in the bibliometric analysis method by using grey data from information available in the public information space: mass media and social networks. The network of factors influencing the development of bioeconomy, created with the help of social network analysis method, was compared with the one obtained from bibliometric analysis of SCOPUS database in order to find out the difference between scientific tendencies and the overall atmosphere in the information space. Although the structure of these networks varies, there is a common tendency in literature to identify the following factors as the key factors in the development of the bioeconomy: research and innovations; technology; energy and energy consumption.
Comprehensive Literature Review on Valuable Compounds and Extraction Technologies: The Eastern Baltic Sea Seaweeds
Authors: Bāliņa Karīna , Ivanovs Kaspars , Romagnoli Francesco , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: October 2020

Seaweed valuables have been researched a lot in the last decades but there is a lack of information on brackish seaweed at the eastern part of the Baltic Sea. Previous research shows that Baltic seaweed can be used as a source for phycocolloids as well as for bioenergy. The amount of available usable biomass is not clear, also seaweed in brackish seawater does not reach the dimensions such as the same species in Western parts of the Baltic Sea where the salinity is higher. Therefore, the use of this biomass must be smart to create economic benefit. Three abundant Baltic brackish seaweed species were chosen, to represent green, brown and red seaweed groups and an in-depth information analysis was made to clarify possible focus substances that could be extracted from these species. In this paper we summarize literature of common seaweed components, traditional extraction technology, and potential amount in seaweed and give an overview of novel methods for extraction of seaweed bioactive compounds.
The Role of Internal Migration in Sustaining Rural Communities in Japan: The Case of Aso City in Kumamoto
Authors: Miserka Antonia
Published: October 2020

The shrinking of Japan’s rural areas, caused partly by continuous out-migration of younger people to the major cities, is an amply discussed topic in Japanese society and popular media. Even though a certain trend of counter-urbanisation exists despite larger depopulation patterns, many of these migrants do not stay permanently and therefore cannot contribute to sustaining rural areas in the long term. Previous studies argue that considering each community’s characteristics is important in order to find possible ways to sustain rural areas and attract new residents. Therefore, this study focuses on the case of Aso City, aiming to clarify the criteria that makes migration to Aso City appealing or unappealing, and to identify the factors responsible for enabling (or complicating) the act of permanently settling there. In order to do so, the author conducted a survey in Aso City using semi-structured interviews. While the beauty of the natural surroundings, quality of life, and social connectedness are the main positive qualities of Aso City, its infrastructure, demographic development, and economic situation are assessed more negatively by its residents. Further, this study shows that the better a person’s local social connections upon arrival, the more likely they are to find a place to live and work, and stay on a long-term basis. In order to attract new residents to rural areas and support their permanent settlement, it is important to help them obtain the resources necessary for settling and assist their transition into the social structure of the community.
Silver Economy Strategies: A Comparative Study of Japanese and South Korean Governmental Measures
Authors: Gschwendtner Pauline
Published: October 2020

This article comparatively analyses the Japanese and South Korean governments’ measures directed at embracing the economic opportunities held by a growing elderly population. As highlighted in the literature review, no overarching framework for creating a global ageing strategy has been formulated to date, despite a noteworthy set of activities aimed at capturing the potential of an ageing population. By examining the strategic action plans and policies of these two East Asian countries through a general set of criteria (actors and plans, contributors and factors, actions and content), a possible universal approach is evaluated. The analysis concludes that the respective governmental measures are characterised by great similarity, reflecting the intervention possibilities of similarly structured democracies in related fields. Most notable similarities include the targeting of the small and medium enterprise sector for innovation in newly emerging industries and markets, an improvement of the research and development environment, and the evaluation of social transformations for the development of strategic solutions. The sectorial focus lies on information and communication technology solutions, artificial intelligence and robotics, and additionally focuses on health and medical care devices, as well as on devices facilitating independent living and mobility.
East Asian Strategies for Combating Income Inequality: A Comparative Analysis of Redistributive Fiscal Policy Efforts in China and Korea
Authors: Menz Katharina
Published: October 2020

Both China and Korea face different stages of national income inequality as well as distinctive structures in their income distribution. However, not only do levels and structures of income inequality differ in China and Korea, but their measures to tackle income inequality inherently differ. This article investigates how the Chinese and Korean governments respond to income inequality in their countries by analysing fiscal policy on both the expenditure and taxation fronts. The findings show that both China and Korea have increased their redistributive efforts in the recent past; however, Korea’s commitment to tackling income inequality is stronger than that of China. Moreover, this article finds evidence for distinctive strategies for reducing income inequality in China and Korea. Responding to large income disparities at the bottom of the income distribution spectrum, the Chinese government tackles income inequality by supporting low income earners and reducing the tax burden for low income brackets. In contrast, given Korean income inequality can be largely explained by relatively large top income shares, the redistributive policy incorporates newly introduced social benefits excluding top income earners as well as income taxes aimed at the top of the income spectrum.
A Discourse Analysis of Recent Mainland Chinese Historiography on the Sinocentric Tributary System of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368–1912)
Authors: Hompot Sebestyén
Published: October 2020

The article investigates the recent (2000–2019) mainland Chinese historiography on the Sinocentric tributary system of the Míng and Qīng periods (1368–1912). The theoretical approach of the article is based on Foucauldian discourse theory, as well as Chinese theoretical scholarship on the evolution of Chinese thought. Its methodology is primarily based on Reiner Keller’s sociological discourse research method. The main body of the article is structured upon the major fields of argumentation of the discourse, identified by the author as “the validity of the term ‘tributary system,’” “the tributary system and pre-modern Chinese culture,” “the tributary system and Míng-Qīng Chinese socio-economic history,” and “the tributary system and the regional political order.” The article argues that the ‘discursive struggle’ in recent historiography on the tributary system is primarily a result of its contested interpretation and evaluation under current dominant framings of an ideal international order—one centred around the principles of national sovereignty and “win-win” economic cooperation.
