Background

National healthcare financing strategy recommends tax-based equity funds and insurance schemes for the poor and extreme poor living in urban slums and pavements as the majority of these population utilise informal providers resulting in adverse health effects and financial hardship. We assessed the effect of a health voucher scheme (HVS) and micro-health insurance (MHI) scheme on healthcare utilisation and out-of-pocket (OOP) payments and the cost of implementing such schemes.

Methods

HVS and MHI schemes were implemented by Concern Worldwide through selected NGO health centres, referral hospitals, and private healthcare facilities in three City Corporations of Bangladesh from December 2016 to March 2020. A household survey with 1,294 enrolees, key-informant interviews, focus group discussions, consultative meetings, and document reviews were conducted for extracting data on healthcare utilisation, OOP payments, views of enrolees, and suggestions of implementers, and costs of services at the point of care.

Results

Healthcare utilisation including maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) services, particularly from medically trained providers, was higher and OOP payments were lower among the scheme enrolees compared to corresponding population groups in general. The beneficiaries were happy with their access to healthcare, especially for MNCH services, and their perceived quality of care was fair enough. They, however, suggested expanding the benefits package, supported by an additional workforce. The cost per beneficiary household for providing services per year was €32 in HVS and €15 in MHI scheme.

Conclusion

HVS and MHI schemes enabled higher healthcare utilisation at lower OOP payments among the enrolees, who were happy with their access to healthcare, particularly for MNCH services. However, they suggested a larger benefits package in future. The provider’s costs of the schemes were reasonable; however, there are potentials of cost containment by purchasing the health services for their beneficiaries in a competitive basis from the market. Scaling up such schemes addressing the drawback would contribute to achieving universal health coverage.
A secure and efficient certificateless content extraction signature with privacy protection

Published: November 2021

Efficiency and privacy are the key aspects in content extraction signatures. In this study, we proposed a Secure and Efficient and Certificateless Content Extraction Signature with Privacy Protection (SECCESPP) in which scalar multiplication of elliptic curves is used to replace inefficient bilinear pairing of certificateless public key cryptosystem, and the signcryption idea is borrowed to implement privacy protection for signed messages. The correctness of the SECCESPP scheme is demonstrated by the consistency of the message and the accuracy of the equation. The security and privacy of the SECCESPP scheme are demonstrated based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem in the random oracle model and are formally analyzed with the formal analysis tool ProVerif, respectively. Theory and experimental analysis show that the SECCESPP scheme is more efficient than other schemes.
Strategies to increase downloads of COVID–19 exposure notification apps: A discrete choice experiment
Authors: Frimpong Jemima A. , Helleringer Stéphane
Published: November 2021

Exposure notification apps have been developed to assist in notifying individuals of recent exposures to SARS-CoV-2. However, in several countries, such apps have had limited uptake. We assessed whether strategies to increase downloads of exposure notification apps should emphasize improving the accuracy of the apps in recording contacts and exposures, strengthening privacy protections and/or offering financial incentives to potential users. In a discrete choice experiment with potential app users in the US, financial incentives were more than twice as important in decision-making about app downloads, than privacy protections, and app accuracy. The probability that a potential user would download an exposure notification app increased by 40% when offered a $100 reward to download (relative to a reference scenario in which the app is free). Financial incentives might help exposure notification apps reach uptake levels that improve the effectiveness of contact tracing programs and ultimately enhance efforts to control SARS-CoV-2. Rapid, pragmatic trials of financial incentives for app downloads in real-life settings are warranted.

Objectives

To estimate the prevalence of disability among Syrian refugees living in Sultanbeyli district, Istanbul and compare people with and without disabilities in terms of demographic and socio-economic characteristics.

Methods

Using the municipality refugee database as the sampling frame, 80 clusters of 50 people (aged 2+ years) were selected using probability proportionate to size sampling of clusters and random selection of households within clusters. Disability assessment included: i) self-reported difficulties in functioning (using the Washington Group Short Set-Enhanced tool and Child Functioning Modules), ii) Rapid Assessment of Musculoskeletal Impairment and iii) screening for symptoms of common mental disorders for children aged 8–17.

Results

The overall prevalence of disability was 24.7% (95% CI 22.1–27.4), when including people self-reporting a lot of difficulty/cannot do in at least functional domain (15%, 95% CI 13.1–17.2), moderate/severe MSI (8.7%, 95% CI 7.6–9.9), and/or symptomatic anxiety, depression and PTSD among children 8–17 (21.0%, 95% CI 18.2–23.9). Men with disabilities were significantly less likely to be in paid work compared to their peers without disabilities (aOR 0.3 95% CI 0.2–0.5). Overall 60% of households included at least one person with a disability. Households with at least one person with a disability had a significantly higher dependency ratio, lower proportion of working-age adults in paid work, and were more likely to be female headed and in receipt of social protection schemes (p<0.05).

Conclusion

Disability is common among Syrian refugees in Sultanbeyli. People with disabilities in this setting experience greater vulnerability to poverty and exclusion from work, highlighting an urgent need for inclusive services, programmes and policies that are developed and implemented in partnership with people with disabilities.
Optimized SNR-based ECAP threshold determination is comparable to the judgement of human evaluators
Authors: Gärtner Lutz , Spitzer Philipp , Lauss Kathrin , Takanen Marko , Lenarz Thomas , Hoth Sebastian
Published: November 2021

In cochlear implant (CI) users, measurements of electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) prove the functionality of the neuron-electrode interface. Objective measures, e.g., the ECAP threshold, may serve as a basis for the clinical adjustment of the device for the optimal benefit of the CI user. As for many neural responses, the threshold determination often is based on the subjective assessment of the clinical specialist, whose decision-making process could be aided by autonomous computational algorithms. To that end, we extended the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) approach for ECAP threshold determination to be applicable for FineGrain (FG) ECAP responses. The new approach takes advantage of two features: the FG stimulation paradigm with its enhanced resolution of recordings, and SNR-based ECAP threshold determination, which allows defining thresholds independently of morphology and with comparably low computational power. Pearson’s correlation coefficient r between the ECAP threshold determined by five experienced evaluators and the threshold determined with the FG-SNR algorithm was in the range of r = 0.78–0.93. Between evaluators, r was in a comparable range of 0.84–0.93. A subset of the parameters of the algorithm was varied to identify the parameters with the highest potential to improve the FG-SNR formalism in the future. The two steps with the strongest influence on the agreement between the threshold estimate of the evaluators and the algorithm were the removal of undesired frequency components (denoising of the response traces) and the exact determination of the two time windows (signal and noise and noise only).”The parameters were linked to the properties of an ECAP response, indicating how to adjust the algorithm for the automatic detection of other neurophysiological responses.
An Ouroboros of Self-Sustainability
Authors: Essig Linda
Published: November 2021

This essay introduces the relationship between artists and the creative infrastructures that make their work possible by using the visual metaphor of the ouroboros, the serpent eating its tail. The ouroboros efficiently describes this relationship between art and business, or rather the relationship between art and money.
Buying Up, Not Selling Out
Authors: Essig Linda
Published: November 2021

All too often, artists who are attentive to the 'business' of their creative practice are accused of 'selling out'. But for many working artists, that attention to business — to revenue generation, asset accrual, the arts economy — is what enables an artist to not just survive, but to thrive. When artists follow their mission, or organizations theirs, they don’t sell out, they spiral up by keeping mission at the forefront. Money and other tangible assets are not their end goal — they are instead the means toward the end of artistic and cultural production. As I talked with artists and arts infrastructure leaders about what makes their work sustainable, an unexpected theme emerged: property ownership. This essay looks at artists, organizations, and communities that own property to see the ways in which missions drive decision-making, assets are maximized, and 'success', however it is defined, can be sustained. When property ownership is part of that sustainability equation, history, agency, and racial equity also become matters of concern.

The Tapajós National Forest (FLONA) is a Conservation Unit (UC) located in the Brazilian Amazon state of Pará. The Flona Tapajos, managed by the Instituto Chico Mendez (ICMBio) has extensive public use (recreation and tourism). In order to identify the negative and positive aspects observed during recreation/tourism visits to the FLONA, an in-person visitor use survey was conducted at the FLONA.  As part of a larger study, the objective of this manuscript was to identify the positives and negatives of the visitation pointed out by the visitors of the Tapajós National Forest in the period from 2014 to 2016. A total of 14,291 comments were analyzed, of which 9,004 were positive comments and 5,287 were negative comments. Thematic analysis and a qualitative method was used, and the comments were placed into three categories and 22 subcategorys, according to keywords. The results identify the items that may cause either satisfaction or dissatisfaction by the public. The findings help resource managers better understand the Conservation Unit and the data can support better public use programs and visitation management.
Introduction to Set Shaping Theory
Authors: Kozlov Solomon
Published: November 2021

In this article, we define the Set Shaping Theory whose goal is the study of the bijection functions that transform a set of strings into a set of equal size made up of strings of greater length. The functions that meet this condition are many but since the goal of this theory is the transmission of data, we have analyzed the function that minimizes the average information content. The results obtained show how this type of function can be useful in data compression.

Resumo: O atendimento psicológico clínico por muito tempo foi considerado privilégio das classes elitistas, e essa resistência ainda permeia em nossa sociedade, buscou-se então analisar o valor social no atendimento psicológico clínico, principalmente na visão de acadêmicos ou recém-formados do curso de psicologia, verificando o que compreendiam por valor social na psicoterapia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória descritiva e a coleta de dados se deu por um questionário online pelo Google Forms, havendo 4 itens fechados e 7 itens abertos, tendo participação de 52 respondentes, e o método para análise dos dados foi por meio da estatística descritiva dos itens de caracterização e análise de similitude dos itens da associação livre, utilizando o software IrAmUteQ. Nos itens abertos, também foi realizado análise de conteúdo, entendendo o contexto do sentido das afirmações. Como resultados é possível destacar que o atendimento à valor social é importante, ponto de favorabilidade apresentado por 73,1% dos participantes, mas que essa prática pode ser uma desvalorização da profissão, visto que existe um alto investimento de tempo e valor, ponto de desfavorabilidade apresentado por 23,1% dos participantes e isso pode implicar em um exercício limitado que merece ser repensado pelos profissionais da psicologia. Palavras chaves: Valor Social; Psicologia; Atendimento Psicológico Clínico; Sociedade. Abstract: Clinical psychological care has long been considered a privilege of elitist classes, and this resistance still permeates our society, so we sought to analyze the social value in clinical psychological care, especially in the view of academics or recent graduates of the psychology course, verifying what they understood by social value in psychotherapy. This is a descriptive exploratory research and data collection was done through an online questionnaire through Google Forms, with 4 closed items and 7 open items, with the participation of 52 respondents, and the method for data analysis was through statistics descriptive of the characterization items and similarity analysis of the items of the free association, using the IrAmUteQ software. In the open items, content analysis was also carried out, understanding the context of the meaning of the statements. As a result, it is possible to highlight that meeting social value is important, a point of favorability presented by 73.1% of the participants, but that this practice can be a devaluation of the profession, since there is a high investment of time and value, unfavorability presented by 23.1% of the participants and this may imply a limited exercise that deserves to be rethought by professionals in psychology. Keywords: Social Value; Psychology; Clinical Psychological Care; Society.
A Educação como um Instrumento de Transformação Social à Luz da Teoria das Janelas Quebradas / Education as an Instrument of Social Transformation in Light of the Broken Windows Theory

Published: November 2021

Resumo: Este artigo resulta de reflexões teóricas sobre o papel da educação na transformação social. O objetivo principal se expõe na busca, sintética e mais abrangente de compreender a função da educação emancipatória como um instrumento de transformação social à luz da Teoria das Janelas quebradas. Tendo como objetivos específicos: analisar a pobreza e criminalidade na sociedade capitalista do século XXI; analisar a pobreza e a criminalidade à luz da teoria das janelas quebradas e refletir sobre a Educação emancipatória e sobre a sua função na sociedade capitalista à luz da teoria das janelas quebradas. Inova-se por trazer essa teoria norte-americana sob outra perspectiva relacionada a educação, e não ao âmbito do direito e da criminalidade como os pesquisadores já o fizeram. Partiu-se de uma abordagem mais teórica e reflexiva, acessando fontes bibliográficas de autores clássicos em que suas ideias permanecem e autores contemporâneos que buscam compreender a sociedade capitalista, a pobreza, a criminalidade e a educação nesta sociedade capitalista. A revisão literária procurou seguir uma linha de pensamento apoiada na teoria social crítica, ponderando as análises sob um viés crítico e analítico. Com principal pressuposto, entendemos a partir do estudo que a teoria das janelas quebradas mostra a importância da presença do Estado no investimento em segurança pública mais rígida, prevenindo situações de desordem para não se transformar em criminalidade. No entanto, essa teoria apresenta algumas lacunas, não trata da ressocialização dessas pessoas punidas, não considera quão importante também são as demais políticas públicas, especialmente de forma equitativa. Sendo que o investimento na Política Pública de Educação, é instrumento que não só preveni a criminalidade, mas a partir de uma educação emancipatória possibilita compreender a complexidade das relações sociais, econômicas e políticas vigentes e encontrar estratégias e formas de organização para transformar a sociedade em prol do bem-comum.

O Risco da Utilização de Produtos Cosméticos Falsificados / The Risk of Using Counterfeit Cosmetic Products
Authors: Silva Laureane Monteiro , Ferreira Ana Carolina , Querobino Samyr Machado
Published: November 2021

Resumo: A indústria de cosméticos possui grande destaque na economia brasileira e mundial. Esse setor está crescendo em ritmo exponencial e no ano de 2018 faturou 109,7 bilhões de reais. O Brasil ocupa o quarto lugar no ranking de países que mais consomem produtos e serviços de beleza. Devido ao custo dos produtos comercializados por grandes empresas, uma parcela dos consumidores opta por comprar produtos falsificados disponíveis no mercado paralelo, expondo a sua saúde a riscos, uma vez que os produtos vendidos de forma ilegal não são fiscalizados pelas agências sanitárias e estes podem conter desde microrganismos patogênicos a produtos tóxicos.  O presente estudo tem por objetivo realizar um levantamento bibliográfico sobre a segurança e os riscos associados a produtos cosméticos falsificados. Para isso foram analisadas publicações na literatura referentes ao tema proposto, com escolhas de artigos nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol publicados em periódicos como Scielo, Google Acadêmico e PubMed entre os anos de 2005 a 2021. Foram encontrados relatos de presença de microrganismos patogênicos, metais pesados e possíveis reações adversas que os cosméticos falsificados podem causar. Os cosméticos falsificados representam grande risco para a saúde humana, uma vez que não possuem certificação e muitas das vezes o rótulo do produto não condiz com o que realmente é encontrado nos produtos.  Abstract: The cosmetics industry has great prominence in the Brazilian and world economy. This sector is growing at an exponential rate and in 2018 it had revenues of 109.7 billion reais. Brazil occupies fourth place in the ranking of countries that consume the most beauty products and services. Due to the cost of products sold by large companies, a portion of consumers chooses to buy counterfeit products available on the parallel market, exposing their health to risks, since products sold illegally are not inspected by health agencies and these may contain from pathogenic microorganisms to toxic products. This study aims to carry out a literature review on the safety and risks associated with counterfeit cosmetic products. For this, publications in the literature referring to the proposed topic were analyzed, with choices of articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish published in journals such as Scielo, Academic Google and PubMed between the years 2005 to 2021. Reports of the presence of pathogenic microorganisms were found, heavy metals and possible adverse reactions that counterfeit cosmetics can cause. Counterfeit cosmetics pose a great risk to human health, since they do not have certification and often the product label does not match what is actually found on the products.

Despite the importance of passion fruit for the Brazilian fruit market, there are still many agronomic and fruit quality problems to be solved, in order to increase this crop performance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of twelve genotypes of wild, sweet and yellow passion fruit, aiming to identify promising materials considering fruit quality, in Federal District, Brazil. An experiment was carried out at the Água Limpa Farm of the Universidade de Brasília (UnB) from 2016 to 2018, in a randomized block design, with 12 treatments, 4 replicates and 6 plants/plot. At the harvesting time, six fruits per plot were randomly collected for the following physicochemical analysis: fruit mass, pulp mass with and without seeds, length/longitudinal diameter, width/transverse diameter, length/width ratio, husk thickness, predominant color of the pulp (L*, C*, h*), number of seeds, seed size, total soluble solids content, total titratable acidity, total soluble solids/total titratable acidity ratio and pH. High heritability values ​​and relation of genetic/environment variation coefficients ratio were observed for most of the characteristics evaluated. The genotypes of yellow passion fruit MAR20#21 P2 x FB 200 P1 R2 and MAR20#19 ROXO R4 x ECRAM P3 R3 showed the best characteristics of fruit mass and pulp mass with seed. All the genotypes studied showed values ​​of total soluble solids above 11ºBrix. Positive and significant correlation was observed between fruit mass and length/width ratio, indicating that oblong fruits have higher fruit mass.
Measurements of coherence in eeg signal in brazilian people: a comparison of different consciousness states
Authors: Davi Ramos Camila , Destro-Filho João-Batista
Published: November 2021

Critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units require special care and the early diagnosis of the possible outcome of this coma is clinically important. Electroencephalographic signals are collected daily in critically ill patients and can be used to aid in the early diagnosis of neurological pathologies in such patients. Therefore, this study aimed to quantitatively describe the coherence values measured by the EEG signal of Brazilian individuals. The first group with comatose patients (N = 75), favorable (to live) or unfavorable (dying) outcomes, and various etiology. The second group was made by neurologically normal people, named the control group (N = 100). In addition, a number of statistical comparisons were made in order to verify the difference in coherence behavior according to the levels of consciousness. The coherence index of the comatose group is smaller than the control group. Besides, different hospitalization results, living or dying, as well as different etiologies, may be associated with particular values of cerebral coherence. It was observed that the etiology of coma does not influence the measured values of coherence in terms of diagnosis due to brain death, which may become a biomarker of this outcome. Another important consideration was that neurologically healthy patients did not present high values of cerebral coherence at all electrodes, as seen in the temporal region of the brain.

In this study, the recombinant gut protein rRa92A produced in Pichia pastoris yeast cells was used to immunize cattle in two experiments, one in Brazil and the other in Uganda. In both experiments, the animals were intramuscularly (IM) injected with 200 µg of recombinant protein in Brazil on days 0, 30 and 51 and in Uganda on days 0, 30. Blood samples for sera separation were collected from different days in both experiments. These samples were analyzed by ELISAs. In Brazil, ticks collected from the animals during the experimental period were analyzed for biological parameters. At Uganda, blood was collected to assess blood parameters, clinical signs were recorded and adult tick (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus) counts were performed. All animals of the vaccinated groups were shown to produce antibodies, and it was not possible to detect an effect on Rhipicephalus microplus. All the clinical parameters were considered within the normal ranges for both the experimental and control groups in Uganda. Antibody absorbance was elevated after each immunization and remained high until the end of the experiments, remaining low in the control animals. The results of stall test carried out in Brazil using R. microplus tick showed efficacy of 21.95%. The rRa92A immunization trial experiments in Uganda showing a decrease of 55.2% in the number of engorged adult ticks, which was statistically significant (p<0.05). Assessment of the immunogenicity of Ra92A produced in the P. pastoris expression system in bovines is reported for the first time, and the protein acted as a concealed antigen.
Physical and Milling Quality of Milled Rice in Indonesia
Authors: Kobarsih Mahargono , Indrasari Siti Dewi
Published: November 2021

More than 250 rice varieties are grown in Indonesia from new superior varieties and local varieties with aromatic, non-aromatic aromas and pigmented rice. Rice quality is one factor that must be considered in addition to high productivity. Generally, the quality of grain and rice quality in Indonesia have met the quality standards set based on SNI 0224-1987/SPI-TAN/01/01/1993 and SNI 6128:2020. Ricequality is determined by several factors such as grain appearance, nutritional value, cooking and eating quality and become one of the foremost considerations for rice buyers. Such information can be utilized as basic data of character of genetic resources on assembling of new superior varieties by rice breeders.

The essence and uniqueness of social business in solving the most sensitive problems of the society, being able to survive independently and ensure the continuity of activities gives this form of activity an advantage and determines its growing popularity. There are many different definitions of social business. Some authors explain the definition of social business by distinguishing the main aspects that distinguish social business from other forms of activity. However, there are also forms very close to social business. The research objective is to present differences of social business concepts and to identify advantages of such initiatives. The analysis of social business concepts has shown that social business is defined by three principles: social business solves social problems that are not addressed by the public sector; the main motive of social business is public benefit; representatives of social business exploit market mechanisms (without excluding the existing ones) when creating social benefits. Research has shown that social business does not yet have one specific definition, but, according to the development and perception of social business, two main directions can be distinguished: Anglo-American and European.

One business area where environmental issues have received a great deal of discussion in the popular and professional press is marketing. Terms like "Green Marketing" and "Environmental marketing" appear frequently in the popular press. Many governments around the world have also become so concerned about green marketing activities. Attention was drawn to the subject in late1970’s when the American Marketing Association organized a workshop on Ecological Marketing in 1975. Green Marketing has been an important academic research topic since its inception. But at the same time one of the biggest problems with the green marketing area is that there has been little attempt to academically examine environmental or green marketing. Although environmental issues influence all human activities, few academic disciplines have integrated green issues into their literature. The aim of the study was to explore research and real-life examples of green marketing that may help in future empirical research. This paper attempts to examine the concept and evolution of green marketing, identify what makes marketing green. An attempt has also been made to discuss some examples of green marketing practices in Indian context and ascertain the ways to improve consumer appeal for environmentally preferable products through different marketing strategies.

Published: November 2021

The effects of different levels of black pepper (5, 10 or 15 g/kg) and the use of ascorbate (without ascorbate and with ascorbate) on the volatile compounds of sucuk were examined in the study. The volatile compounds of the samples belonging to each group were extracted by solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ascorbate was not effective on aldehydes, aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, acids and terpenes. While high black pepper level (15 g/kg) decreased the abundance of hexanal, it increased the ethanol abundance. α -pinene and 3-carene increased as black pepper levels increased. Among the terpenes, D-limonene and caryophyllene were the most abundant compounds and were significantly affected by the black pepper level of 15 g/kg. D-limonene and caryophyllene were the most related compounds for PC1; while allyl mercaptane, γ-terpinene, D-limonene, hexane for PC2.
(Dis)Enchanted Ufology
Authors: Zeller Benjamin E.
Published: November 2021

This article examines how adherents within the self-styled scientific side of the UFO subculture implicitly challenge the assumed dichotomy between a rationalized disenchanted modern scientific worldview, and a non-rational religious other. After providing background on the origin of the UFO subculture, ufology, and more explicitly religious forms of ufology, the article turns to the largest scientific ufological organization, MUFON, and the way in which participants within that organization engage and delineate social boundaries between religion, science, secularism, and spirituality. I argue that an enchanted ufology lurks just under the surface of this secular, scientific, rational disenchantment.
Emigration from Teruel, Spain, to California in the Early Twentieth Century
Authors: Hervás Raúl Ibáñez
Published: November 2021

This article examines the pattern of emigration from the Spanish province of Teruel to California during the first third of the twentieth century. It is based on oral interviews and written sources in both Spain and the United States and on significant detective work. The resulting demographic profile of emigrants from Teruel indicates the significance of the emigration phenomenon, and reveals the origins, transportation and admissions challenges, and the destinations of individuals who moved to California for work. In addition, it sheds light on the reasons that motivated hundreds of people from Teruel, known as Turolenses in Spanish, to leave their place of origin and travel thousands of miles by sea and land to California in search of a better future for themselves and their families. This is a timely article, marking the centenary of the largest emigration from Teruel to North America.
