Febrile convulsion often found in children 3-5 years old. This problem is a seizure that occurs when the body temperature rises and is caused by the extracranium process. This research was to decide the relationship between motherâ€™s knowledge and management of febrile convulsion in children 1-5 years old in the Tengah village of Pancur Batu district 2020. This research is a cross-sectional study. We used to simple random sampling technique with 30 respondents. We used a questionnaire for the instrument. The final results showed that the majority of mother's knowledge regarding the management of febrile seizures was in the good category (86.7%) and the majority of febrile seizure management was in the category (90.0%). The results of chi-square statistical test show there is a relationship between knowledge of the mother with the handling of febrile seizures in children in the Tengah village of Pancur Batu District in 2020 (p value = 0,039). This study is expected to be an alternative for health workers to increase the promotion and prevention of problems related to the first treatment of febrile seizures. A person's knowledge is a factor that can influence a mother to take action, the better the mother's knowledge of diseases or health problems, the better the handling and vice versa, if the mother's knowledge is less, the handling of health problems will be better. Health education to the community will be a means to increase knowledge about handling health problems in the community.
Assessing the Electronic Evidence System Needs of Canadian Public Health Professionals: Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Dhaliwal Bandna , Neil-Sztramko Sarah E , Boston-Fisher Nikita , Buckeridge David L , Dobbins Maureen
Published: June 2021

Background

True evidence-informed decision-making in public health relies on incorporating evidence from a number of sources in addition to traditional scientific evidence. Lack of access to these types of data as well as ease of use and interpretability of scientific evidence contribute to limited uptake of evidence-informed decision-making in practice. An electronic evidence system that includes multiple sources of evidence and potentially novel computational processing approaches or artificial intelligence holds promise as a solution to overcoming barriers to evidence-informed decision-making in public health.

Objective

This study aims to understand the needs and preferences for an electronic evidence system among public health professionals in Canada.

Methods

An invitation to participate in an anonymous web-based survey was distributed via listservs of 2 Canadian public health organizations in February 2019. Eligible participants were English- or French-speaking individuals currently working in public health. The survey contained both multiple-choice and open-ended questions about the needs and preferences relevant to an electronic evidence system. Quantitative responses were analyzed to explore differences by public health role. Inductive and deductive analysis methods were used to code and interpret the qualitative data. Ethics review was not required by the host institution.

Results

Respondents (N=371) were heterogeneous, spanning organizations, positions, and areas of practice within public health. Nearly all (364/371, 98.1%) respondents indicated that an electronic evidence system would support their work. Respondents had high preferences for local contextual data, research and intervention evidence, and information about human and financial resources. Qualitative analyses identified several concerns, needs, and suggestions for the development of such a system. Concerns ranged from the personal use of such a system to the ability of their organization to use such a system. Recognized needs spanned the different sources of evidence, including local context, research and intervention evidence, and resources and tools. Additional suggestions were identified to improve system usability.

Conclusions

Canadian public health professionals have positive perceptions toward an electronic evidence system that would bring together evidence from the local context, scientific research, and resources. Elements were also identified to increase the usability of an electronic evidence system.
Census Tract Patterns and Contextual Social Determinants of Health Associated With COVID-19 in a Hispanic Population From South Texas: A Spatiotemporal Perspective

Published: June 2021

Background

Previous studies have shown that various social determinants of health (SDOH) may have contributed to the disparities in COVID-19 incidence and mortality among minorities and underserved populations at the county or zip code level.

Objective

This analysis was carried out at a granular spatial resolution of census tracts to explore the spatial patterns and contextual SDOH associated with COVID-19 incidence from a Hispanic population mostly consisting of a Mexican American population living in Cameron County, Texas on the border of the United States and Mexico. We performed age-stratified analysis to identify different contributing SDOH and quantify their effects by age groups.

Methods

We included all reported COVID-19–positive cases confirmed by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction testing between March 18 (first case reported) and December 16, 2020, in Cameron County, Texas. Confirmed COVID-19 cases were aggregated to weekly counts by census tracts. We adopted a Bayesian spatiotemporal negative binomial model to investigate the COVID-19 incidence rate in relation to census tract demographics and SDOH obtained from the American Community Survey. Moreover, we investigated the impact of local mitigation policy on COVID-19 by creating the binary variable “shelter-in-place.” The analysis was performed on all COVID-19–confirmed cases and age-stratified subgroups.

Results

Our analysis revealed that the relative incidence risk (RR) of COVID-19 was higher among census tracts with a higher percentage of single-parent households (RR=1.016, 95% posterior credible intervals [CIs] 1.005, 1.027) and a higher percentage of the population with limited English proficiency (RR=1.015, 95% CI 1.003, 1.028). Lower RR was associated with lower income (RR=0.972, 95% CI 0.953, 0.993) and the percentage of the population younger than 18 years (RR=0.976, 95% CI 0.959, 0.993). The most significant association was related to the “shelter-in-place” variable, where the incidence risk of COVID-19 was reduced by over 50%, comparing the time periods when the policy was present versus absent (RR=0.506, 95% CI 0.454, 0.563). Moreover, age-stratified analyses identified different significant contributing factors and a varying magnitude of the “shelter-in-place” effect.

Conclusions

In our study, SDOH including social environment and local emergency measures were identified in relation to COVID-19 incidence risk at the census tract level in a highly disadvantaged population with limited health care access and a high prevalence of chronic conditions. Results from our analysis provide key knowledge to design efficient testing strategies and assist local public health departments in COVID-19 control, mitigation, and implementation of vaccine strategies.
Purpose Built Offices Replaced by Work from Home (WFH) in a Time of Business Disruption: Hybrid Office Model (HOM)
Authors: Barnes Lisa , Long Warrick , Williams Peter
Published: June 2021

With the pandemic of COVID-19 came a time of significant business disruption, particularly in relation to social distancing rules that effectively shut down organisations physical office spaces, and moved employees to Work From Home (WFH) in a very short space of time. This research looks at the current office space that employees use and compares it to the WFH space. The results showed that employees valued their physical office space, but that open plan or shared offices were often noisy and lacked privacy. Most described their office space as personal, comfortable, and conducive to productivity. In relation to the ability to work collaboratively, most respondents stated this happened in their current office space (87%), and with the move to WFH, 76% stated that they were still able to work collaboratively. Employees will no longer need to commute to work, can spend more time perusing personal plans and feel more productive when WFH. For employers, they now have access to a wider pool of talent, can enjoy cost savings and decrease their carbon footprint. The office of the future will be a hybrid model, a combination of WFH, working in the office and both, known as the Hybrid Office Model (HOM).

Wie groß sind die Wirkungen der Ausgaben für Forschung und Entwicklung (F&E)? Mit F&E bauen die Unternehmen ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit aus und sichern die künftigen Gewinne. Die Forschungsförderung regt die F&E‐Investitionen an und verhilft innovativen Unternehmen zu mehr Wachstum. Mit ökonometrischen Matching‐Methoden vergleichen wir die Entwicklung von Unternehmen, die durch die FFG gefördert wurden, relativ zu nicht‐geförderten, aber sonst ganz ähnlichen Unternehmen. Unternehmen, die eine FFG‐Förderung erhalten, konnten im Zeitraum 2016‐2019 ihre Beschäftigung um 7,1 % steigern, andere vergleichbare Unternehmen nur um 0,4 %. Das Umsatzwachstum beträgt 10,8 % statt 2,5 %. Mit einem detaillierten Innovationsmodell der österreichischen Wirtschaft berechnen wir die makroökonomischen Effekte von F&E‐Ausgaben. In einem Wachstumsszenario nach dem Muster der letzten zehn Jahre lassen sich etwa 28 % des Wachstums ursächlich auf die Wirkungen des Innovationssystems zurückführen. Dieser Effekt wird mit F&E‐Ausgaben von nur 3,18 % des BIPs erzielt. Eine Erhöhung der öffentlichen F&E‐Ausgaben um 1 Euro könnte langfristig das BIP um bis zu 6 Euro erhöhen. Allerdings haben F&E‐Ausgaben lange Vorlaufzeiten, so dass die positiven Wirkungen nur allmählich eintreten. Studie im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Digitalisierung und Wirtschaftsstandort.

Fomento del autocuidado al paciente con sondaje vesical domiciliario mediante sesiones educativas
Authors: Moreno-Cabello E. , Gónzalez-Picazo A.M. , Martín-Salinas C.
Published: June 2021

Introducción: La infección tardía es una posible complicación del implante de un esfínter urinario artificial (método más aceptado para tratar la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo secundaria a prostatectomía radical). Si sucede, debe retirarse la prótesis y colocar una sonda vesical hasta su reinserción meses más tarde. El paciente se convierte en portador domiciliario de sonda vesical, que puede adquirir una infección de tracto urinario por un mal cuidado.

Objetivo: Desarrollar sesiones educativas para que un paciente adquiera destreza en el manejo de sonda vesical y consecuentemente, prevenir las infecciones asociadas.

Desarrollo: Se presenta el caso de un varón de 80 años, portador de sonda vesical por retirada temporal de su esfínter urinario artificial. Al realizar la valoración de enfermería, se identifica el diagnóstico enfermero Conocimientos deficientes en relación con los cuidados del dispositivo. Posteriormente, se seleccionan los resultados esperados y se planifican las intervenciones educativas. Tras llevarlas a cabo identificamos que el paciente incrementó sus conocimientos sobre el manejo de la sonda vesical.

Conclusiones: La educación sanitaria es una herramienta de prevención del riesgo de infección asociado al mantenimiento de la sonda vesical en el domicilio, ya que, si el paciente no es capaz de afrontar su autocuidado, el tratamiento pierde efectividad. Es imprescindible identificar las necesidades formativas de los pacientes, abordarlas mediante intervenciones educativas reforzadas con documentación escrita durante el ingreso, para proporcionar la información necesaria y fortalecer su comprensión, por lo que puede mejorar el nivel de autocuidado, así como prevenir complicaciones tras el alta hospitalaria.

Published: June 2021

Introducción: La obesidad es uno de los problemas de salud pública más graves del siglo XXI. Durante la etapa infantil la madre es el cuidador principal y modelador de las conductas de salud del hijo; factores como metas maternas y prácticas de alimentación determinan el índice de masa corporal en el hijo.

Objetivo: Identificar si las metas y prácticas maternas de alimentación, así como el consumo de alimentos predicen el índice de masa corporal en niños preescolares.

Método: Estudio descriptivo correlacional. Participaron 217 diadas (madre e hijo preescolar). Se aplicó el Cuestionario Elección de Alimentos, Cuestionario Integral de Prácticas de Alimentación y el Cuestionario de Frecuencia de Alimentos. Se midió peso y talla de las diadas, se calculó el índice de masa corporal y se obtuvo el estado nutricio. Se aplicó estadística descriptiva e inferencial a través de regresión lineal múltiple.

Resultados: La meta conveniencia, el consumo de alimentos lácteos y cereales dulces, edad y el índice de masa corporal materno, contribuyeron al índice de masa corporal en el hijo preescolar, varianza explicada de 28.3%.

Conclusión: Las variables estudiadas tuvieron mínima contribución al índice de masa corporal del hijo. Se recomienda realizar estudios multivariados para explicar de forma más integral el exceso de peso infantil.

El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar los cambios producidos por las reformas regulatorias en el mercado del gas natural mexicano entre 2009 y 2018. Para tal efecto se realizan diversas pruebas unitarias y de quiebres estructurales a las series de volúmenes y precios del gas natural que describen su comportamiento en los mercados nacionales e internacionales. Los resultados del análisis estadístico sostienen que todas las series experimentan cambios estructurales en tendencia e intercepto entre 2016 y 2017 y, por tanto, presentan raíz unitaria. Las consecuencias de estos comportamientos son relevantes porque los shocks introducidos en las series son permanentes y atribuibles a la puesta en operación de la reforma.
Riesgos socioambientales derivados de la pérdida de servicios ecosistémicos: el caso de Ecatepec de Morelos, Estado de México
Authors: Rojas García Omar
Published: June 2021

Este artículo tiene origen en una investigación realizada en el Municipio de Ecatepec de Morelos, de octubre de 2019 a marzo de 2020, que sustentó la actualización del Plan de Desarrollo Urbano Municipal 2020 para el mismo municipio. El propósito es reconocer los factores socioambientales que orillan a la construcción de asentamientos humanos en áreas de conservación ecológica y que, a mediano plazo, alteran los ecosistemas del entorno y aumentan su vulnerabilidad ante fenómenos geológicos e hidrometereológicos. A través de una metodología de análisis de riesgo ambiental, se analizan los impactos socioambientales generados por dichos asentamientos irregulares en los servicios ecosistémicos, ya que cuando las edificaciones se localizan en zonas de alta pendiente son más vulnerables a los fenómenos mencionados. Si bien estas zonas son accesibles a ciertos sectores de la población, respecto a la renta o compra de vivienda, tales prácticas suelen ser ilegales y traen consigo el deterioro de la vegetación natural existente, además de la pérdida de servicios ecosistémicos derivados del crecimiento urbano no planificado. Estas invasiones responden a un proceso permanente que comprende variables complejas, como el deterioro de la calidad de vida, la insuficiencia económica para satisfacer necesidades y, de manera sinérgica, genera problemas sociales como la inseguridad y la violencia.

El objetivo de este ensayo es presentar una breve introducción al delito de lavado de dinero, a partir de su conceptualización y de la finalidad de los mecanismos que se implementan para operar los recursos de procedencia ilícita. Se hace mención al origen del término “lavado de dinero” y del porqué se usa la palabra dinero en específico.

La delincuencia organizada integra en los sistemas financieros de los diferentes países, principalmente, los grandes flujos de capitales ilícitos que genera, con el fin de llevar a cabo el blanqueo en sus distintas etapas y su manejo, sin embargo, esta situación tiene impacto en diversas actividades de los países y de la sociedad en general.

El lavado de dinero se debe enfocar desde una perspectiva amplia y mundial para vislumbrar la magnitud real del problema, pues socaba el Estado de derecho; en consecuencia, se han identificado actividades que son particularmente vulnerables para realizar el lavado de dinero, que están siendo controladas con mayor severidad para frenar el flujo de este tipo de capitales.
Organic Acid Profiles of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacterial Strains in the Presence of Different Insoluble Phosphatic Sources Under In vitro Buffered Conditions
Authors: Kaur Chandandeep , Selvakumar Govindan , Upreti Kaushal Kishore
Published: June 2021

The production of weak organic acids by microorganisms has been attributed as the prime reason for the solubilization of insoluble phosphates under both in vitro and soil conditions. Literature seems to be heavily biased towards gluconic acid production by microbes and its subsequent release into the environment as the key factor responsible for phosphate solubilization. This has found credibility since gluconic acid being a product of the Kreb’s cycle is often detected in large quantities in the culture media, when assayed under in vitro conditions. In the present work, the organic acid profiles of four elite phosphate solubilising isolates were determined in the presence of different insoluble sources of phosphates, under in vitro buffered culture conditions by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography). While most previous studies did not use a buffered culture media for elucidating the organic acid profile of phosphate solubilizing bacterial isolates, we used a buffered media for estimation of the organic acid profiles. The results revealed that apart from gluconic acid, malic acid is produced in significant levels by phosphate solubilizing bacterial isolates, and there seems to be a differential pattern of production of these two organic acids by the isolates in the presence of different insoluble phosphate sources.

In the General Election and Regional Head Election Law, the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) has the authority supervisory to each Election stages, it is the center for law enforcement activities of the Election (Sentra Gakkumdu) to criminal acts and carrying out the judicial functions for investigating, examining, and decided on administrative disputes of General Election and Regional Head Election.  With the Bawaslu’s authority then placed as a super-body institution in the ranks of the Election Management Body, due to its essential role in building a clean and credible electoral system, it also has potential for abuse of power within it. In Law no. 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power has defined state institutions that have the authority to administrate judicial functions. These are the Supreme Court and Judicial Bodies that under its lines of general court, Religious Courts, Military Courts, Administrative Court (PTUN) and the Constitutional Court. The research method is normative juridical, that focuses on the analysis of the laws and regulations on General Election, Regional Head Elections and the Law on Judicial Power. The analytical tool is descriptive analysis, by describing the main issues, an analysis is carried out that was supported by case-approach related to the research. The study concludes that Bawaslu in carrying out judicial functions in its position as a semi-judicial institution has not a hierarchical relationship to the Supreme Court (MA) and the Constitutional Court (MK); however, what does exist is functional relationship.

Introduction: The hygienic and sanitary conditions of vessels carrying passengers and cargo requires constant diagnosis and monitoring for disease prevention. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify health hazards in food preparation conditions and water potability in mixed vessels in the State of Amazonas-Brazil. Method: 33 vessels were analyzed with qualitative detection analysis of Escherichia coli by chromogenic substrate for water potability and environmental evaluation with questionnaire application. Results: There was microbiological contamination in 13 (39.39%) drinking water samples and 31 (93.93%) sink samples for E. coli. The structural and operational conditions of kitchen handlers mostly did not meet the minimum percentages of safety in food production. Conclusions: This is the first report on the structural and operational conditions of food preparation in mixed vessels in Manaus-AM and we conclude that intervention is necessary with public policies regarding hygienic and sanitary issues involving the supply of water served in vessels for the protection of passenger health and training of food handlers and inspection of environments.
Three decades of post-Soviet period: analyses of outbound tourism development patterns and environment in Latvia
Authors:   University of Latvia, Medne Ilze , Bērziņa Kristīne
Published: June 2021

After regaining independence, the borders were opened for Latvian residents, and they had the possibility to leave behind the travel or non-travel principles of the Soviet Union period, as well as go into the global tourism market. Post-Soviet transformation that was seen in different sectors, including the change in tourism and travel habits, which happened slowly. Since every decade of these three post-Soviet decades has its own development characteristics and is impacted by different external environment elements, the aim of this study is to analyse the tendencies of each decade and its most impactful external environment factors in Latvia. Even though the impact of the economic environment has always been meaningful in tourism, the main factor that impacted the first post-Soviet decade was without doubt the political environment. With the start of the 21st century and the improvement of the economic situation, world’s technological achievements enter Latvia’s tourism industry. Different sociocultural factors highlight different outbound tourism tendencies in each decade. Travel habits of Latvian residents have changed over time – values and expectations have changed for travelling abroad. As expectations and knowledge increase, Latvian travellers join the tendencies and travel habits of the collective European travellers.

Published: June 2021

Aim. A review of the agreement issued by the European Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility consensus meeting on functional dyspepsia in 2020.

Key points. Expert votes at the consensus meeting generally confirmed the main statements of the Rome Criteria Revision IV on the definition of functional dyspepsia, its aetiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment, as well as those of the Kyoto Consensus covering the possible association of dyspeptic complaints with H. pylori infection. An absent consensus on certain statements, especially in drug efficacy evaluation, demonstrates insufficient knowledge of many issues in disease.

Conclusion. Functional dyspepsia demands further investigation.
Gender Differences in Authorship of Family Medicine Publications, 2002-2017
Authors: Keller Tilden , Wilson Megan , Chung Kevin , Andrilla C. Holly A. , Evans David V. , Cawse-Lucas Jeanne
Published: June 2021

Background and Objectives: Representation of women in medicine is increasing, including in academic family medicine. Despite this, women continue to hold a minority of senior faculty and leadership roles. This study examines the trends of women first and senior authorship between 2002 and 2017 in five family medicine journals: Family Medicine, Journal of Family Practice, Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, Annals of Family Medicine, and American Family Physician. The study also examines gender congruence between first and senior authors and women’s membership on editorial boards.
Methods: We collected and analyzed data on a total of 1,671 original articles published in the five family medicine journals in 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017. We also examined the gender composition of the journals’ editorial boards.
Results: Overall, women first authorship increased significantly from 32.6% in 2002 to 47.7% in 2017. There was no significant difference in women senior authorship or editorial board representation from 2002 to 2017. Both men and women senior authors partnered with women first authors significantly more over the 15 years.
Conclusions: While there was a statistically significant increase in women first authors between 2002 and 2017, there is still a gap between women’s authorship and editorial board representation and their representation within academic family medicine. These gaps could help to explain the continued lack of women represented within senior faculty positions.
Gilberto Freyre: Adaptação, Mestiçagem, Trópicos e Privacidade em 'Novo Mundo Nos Trópicos' | Gilberto Freyre: Adaptation, Miscigenation, Tropics and Privacy in 'New World in the Tropics'

Published: June 2021

ResumoO objetivo deste artigo é produzir uma reflexão crítica sobre a produção de Gilberto Freyre, mais verticalizada em dois aspectos. Em primeiro lugar, buscar-se-á entender a seleção feita por esse antropólogo de uma certa mestiçagem e adaptação cultural, símbolos da singularidade brasileira. Em segundo lugar, procura-se entender de que maneira esse tipo de interpretação desloca a análise de fenômenos mais sociais e econômicos, investindo profundamente na esfera privada. Como se costuma dizer, Freyre teria descrito a escravidão brasileira, tendo como foco apenas os cativos domésticos. Para tanto, começar-se-á com a análise do clássico Casa Grande & Senzala, mas a insistência se dará na interpretação do livro Novo mundo nos trópicos, obra em que o estudioso procura sintetizar suas conclusões para um público estrangeiro. Aí estariam condensadas as suas máximas e grandes linhas de interpretação.Palavras-chave: Adaptação. Mestiçagem. Novo mundo nos trópicos. Gilberto Freyre. AbstractThe aim of this paper is to produce a critical reflection on Gilberto Freyre’s work, which is more vertical in two respects. First, I will seek to understand the selection made by the anthropologist of a certain cultural miscegenation and adaptation, symbols of Brazilian singularity. Second, I’ll try to understand how such an interpretation shifts the analysis of rather social and economic phenomena, deeply invested in the private. As it is said, Freyre would have described Brazilian slavery focusing only on the domestic slaves. Thus, the analysis begins with the classic Casa Grande & Senzala, but the emphasis will be in the interpretation of the book in the New world in the tropics [Novo mundo nos Trópicos], a work in which the scholar seeks to synthesize his findings to a foreign audience. There it would be condensed his maxima and broad lines of interpretation.Key words: Adaptation. Miscegenation. New world in the tropics. Gilberto Freyre.

Expanding the conservation genomics toolbox: incorporating structural variants to enhance genomic studies for species of conservation concern
Authors: Wold Jana , Galla Stephanie , Santure Anna , Eccles David , Hogg Carolyn J. , Lec Marissa Le , Koepfli Klaus-Peter , Guhlin Joseph , Steeves Tammy
Published: June 2021

Structural variants (SVs) are large rearrangements (> 50
bp) within the genome that impact the form and structure of chromosomes.
As a result, SVs are a significant source of functional genomic
diversity, i.e. variation at genomic regions underpinning phenotype
differences, that can have large effects on individual and population
fitness. While there are increasing opportunities to investigate
functional genomic diversity in threatened species via single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) datasets, SVs remain understudied despite their
potential influence on complex traits of conservation interest. In this
future-focused Opinion, we contend that characterizing SVs offers the
conservation genomics community an exciting opportunity to complement
SNP-based approaches to enhance species recovery. We identify three
critical resources to characterize SVs de novo: 1) High-quality,
contiguous, annotated reference genome(s); 2) Whole genome resequence
data from representative individuals of the target species/populations;
and 3) Well-curated metadata including pedigrees. We also leverage the
existing literature–predominantly in human health, agriculture and
eco-evol biology–to identify pangenomic approaches for readily
characterizing SVs and consider how integrating these into the
conservation genomics toolbox may transform the way we intensively
manage some of the world’s most threatened species.
LocalVar: a local variant collection manager to asynchronously detect synonyms, HGVS expression changes, and variant interpretation changes from ClinVar

Published: June 2021

While there are several public repositories of biological sequence
variation data and associated annotations, there is little open-source
tooling designed specifically for the upkeep of local collections of
variant data. Many clinics curate and maintain such local collections
and are burdened by frequent changes in the representation of those
variants and evolving interpretations of clinical significance. A
dictionary of genetic variants from the Huntsman Cancer Institute was
analyzed over a period of two years and used to inform the development
of LocalVar. This tool is institution-agnostic and uses publicly
available ClinVar files to provide the following functionality:
auto-complete search bar to pre-empt duplicate entries; single or bulk
