Cardiorespiratory Response and Power Output During Submaximal Exercise in Normobaric Versus Hypobaric Hypoxia: A Pilot Study Using a Specific Chamber that Controls Environmental Factors
Authors: Takezawa Toshihiro , Dobashi Shohei , Koyama Katsuhiro
Published: November 2021

2021.—Many previous studies have examined hypoxia-induced physiological responses using various conditions, e.g., artificially reduced atmospheric oxygen concentration [normobaric hypoxia (NH) condition] or low barometric pressure at a mountain [hypobaric hypoxia (HH) condition].
However, when comparing the results from these previous studies conducted in artificial NH and HH including real high altitude, we must consider the possibility that environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, and fraction of inspired carbon dioxide, might affect the physiological
responses. Therefore, we examined cardiorespiratory responses and exercise performances during low- to high-intensity exercise at a fixed heart rate (HR) in both NH and HH using a specific chamber where atmospheric oxygen concentration and barometric pressure as well as the abovementioned
environmental factors were precisely controlled. Ten well-trained university students (eight males and two females) performed the exercise test consisting of two 20-minute submaximal pedaling at the intensity corresponding to 50% (low) and 70% (high) of their HR reserve, under three conditions
[NH (fraction of inspired oxygen, 0.135; barometric pressure, 754 mmHg), HH (fraction of inspired oxygen, 0.209; barometric pressure, 504 mmHg), and normobaric normoxia (NN; fraction of inspired oxygen, 0.209; barometric pressure, 754 mmHg)]. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2)
to estimate arterial oxygen saturation and partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) were monitored throughout the experiment. SpO2, PETCO2, and power output at fixed HRs (i.e., pedaling efficiency) in NH and HH were all significantly lower than
those in NN. Moreover, high-intensity exercise in HH induced greater decreases in SpO2 and power output than did high-intensity exercise in NH (NH vs. HH; SpO2, 78.2% - 5.0% vs. 75.1% - 7.1%; power output, 120.7 - 24.9 W vs. 112.4 - 23.2 W, both p < 0.05). However,
high-intensity exercise in HH induced greater increases in PETCO2 than did high-intensity exercise in NH (NH vs. HH; 54.2 - 5.9mmHg vs. 57.2 - 3.4 mmHg, p < 0.01). These results suggest that physiological responses and power output at a fixed HR during hypoxic exposure might
depend on the method used to generate the hypoxic condition.

We report on the high-resolution Fourier spectroscopy study of KY3F10:Pr3+ crystals. The analysis of the transmission and luminescence spectra allowed us to refine and supplement the information on the crystal-field levels of the Pr3+ ion. The value of the hyperfine splitting of the ground state of Pr3+ in the KY3F10 cubic matrix is estimated. The observed shape of the spectral lines indicates the presence of defects in the sample under study.

The paper presents the transmission spectra of hybrid perovskite MAPbI3 single crystals near the fundamental absorption edge in a wide temperature range. The absorption coefficient α of the single crystal samples is estimated at a temperature T = 150 K for the light with a photon energy E = 1.6 eV and at T = 40 K for E = 1.8 eV. The obtained values turned out to be several orders of magnitude smaller than the values of α for thin-film samples known from the literature. A sharp shift of the fundamental absorption edge by ~ 100 meV was observed at a temperature T1 = 160 K of the structural phase transition from the tetragonal to the orthorhombic phase. The temperature hysteresis of the shift of the fundamental absorption edge near T1 was recorded, which is characteristic of a first-order phase transition.

Single F2 and F3+- color centers in the LiF crystal were studied by confocal fluorescence microscopy. The time dependences of their fluorescence intensity were analyzed and statistically processed. Our studies show that, the F3+- color center, being photoexcited, is able enter the triplet state, while in ground (singlet) state it changes orientation with a frequency of 1.5 – 2 Hz at room temperature, due to reorientational diffusion, unlike the F2- center, which is reoriented only being in the triplet state. This subtype of rotational diffusion of the center does not lead to its translational diffusion.

Recognition of the properties of materials with dimensions near the nanometre scale is of great importance for essential science and multiple applications. Microdiamonds synthesised by the HPHT method and nanodiamonds made by detonation were evaluated using XRD, SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy. UV-VIS luminescence measurements were performed and compared with each other to assess the surface defects and grain size influence on their optical properties.
Mitigating Patient and Consumer Safety Risks When Using Conversational Assistants for Medical Information: Exploratory Mixed Methods Experiment
Authors: Bickmore Timothy W , Ólafsson Stefán , O'Leary Teresa K
Published: November 2021

Background

Prior studies have demonstrated the safety risks when patients and consumers use conversational assistants such as Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa for obtaining medical information.

Objective

The aim of this study is to evaluate two approaches to reducing the likelihood that patients or consumers will act on the potentially harmful medical information they receive from conversational assistants.

Methods

Participants were given medical problems to pose to conversational assistants that had been previously demonstrated to result in potentially harmful recommendations. Each conversational assistant’s response was randomly varied to include either a correct or incorrect paraphrase of the query or a disclaimer message—or not—telling the participants that they should not act on the advice without first talking to a physician. The participants were then asked what actions they would take based on their interaction, along with the likelihood of taking the action. The reported actions were recorded and analyzed, and the participants were interviewed at the end of each interaction.

Results

A total of 32 participants completed the study, each interacting with 4 conversational assistants. The participants were on average aged 42.44 (SD 14.08) years, 53% (17/32) were women, and 66% (21/32) were college educated. Those participants who heard a correct paraphrase of their query were significantly more likely to state that they would follow the medical advice provided by the conversational assistant (χ21=3.1; P=.04). Those participants who heard a disclaimer message were significantly more likely to say that they would contact a physician or health professional before acting on the medical advice received (χ21=43.5; P=.001).

Conclusions

Designers of conversational systems should consider incorporating both disclaimers and feedback on query understanding in response to user queries for medical advice. Unconstrained natural language input should not be used in systems designed specifically to provide medical advice.

Data integration, the processes by which data are aggregated, combined, and made available for use, has been key to the development and growth of many technological solutions. In health care, we are experiencing a revolution in the use of sensors to collect data on patient behaviors and experiences. Yet, the potential of this data to transform health outcomes is being held back. Deficits in standards, lexicons, data rights, permissioning, and security have been well documented, less so the cultural adoption of sensor data integration as a priority for large-scale deployment and impact on patient lives. The use and reuse of trustworthy data to make better and faster decisions across drug development and care delivery will require an understanding of all stakeholder needs and best practices to ensure these needs are met. The Digital Medicine Society is launching a new multistakeholder Sensor Data Integration Tour of Duty to address these challenges and more, providing a clear direction on how sensor data can fulfill its potential to enhance patient lives.

Published: November 2021

Agriculture is one of the dominant sectors in the economic structure in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. This is because the agricultural sector contributes to meeting food needs and the supply of industrial raw materials. The corporate farming (CF) program located in desa Trimulyo, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta is one of the empowerment programs for farming communities by farming in groups. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of the CF program and the impact of the CF program on labor efficiency at the farm level. The research method used was descriptive qualitative and quantitative with t-test. The method of determining the sample was purposive with 30 farmers as respondents. The technique of collecting data was done by observation, interview and questionnaire. The results showed that the CF program is a program by combining several farmer-owned lands into one large area (land consolidation) and carried out jointly in one management from land preparation to harvest using modern agricultural tools and machines. The rice productivity produced by farmers before the CF program was 323.03 Kg/UT or 3,654.05 Kg/Ha. After the existence of the productivity program is 268.13 Kg/UT or 3,032 Kg/Ha. The need for labour in one season prior to the program was 43.8 HOK/UT or 1,464.76 HOK/Ha. The need for labor after the program was 31.52 HOK/UT or 716.79 HOK/Ha. The impact of the CF program on labor efficiency shows no significant difference. This means that the efficiency of the labor before and after the program is the same.

Published: November 2021

Similarly to the rest of the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has also hit the European Union (EU) severely. In order to foster the process of the economic recovery of EU Member States, the EU Member States agreed on a financial aid package combined with a regulation – the conditionality mechanism – that provided for financial sanctions in the event of a breach of the rule of law. Given that the positions of Poland and Hungary in the adoption process of this regulation caused a controversy, this article examines general questions on the rule of law, the regulation and the background to the controversy.
Limits to Freedom of Speech in the Republic of Latvia During the Parliamentary Period (1918–1934)
Authors: Grigore-Bāra Elīna
Published: November 2021

The article is dedicated to the analysis of one element of the constitutional identity of the Latvian State – freedom of speech – during the initial democratic period in the State’s existence. The author analyses the rules on the protection of honour and supervision of the press as limits to freedom of speech. It is concluded in the article that the boundaries between one person’s freedom of speech and another person’s honour in the Republic of Latvia changed little compared to the previous period in the history of law and that honour as a legal benefit was prized more highly. The framework of freedom of the press, in turn, was constantly expanded. However, the creation of the lists of prohibited books and third-rate and obscene literature proves that the State did not rely on individuals exercising freedom of speech properly. Paternalistic treatment of its citizens was not unknown to the new democratic republic.
Animitas: rescate y conservación del folclore popular, a tres de una propuesta a la oferta turística cultural de Valparaíso.
Authors: Díaz Calderón Hilda
Published: November 2021

La importancia que posee el patrimonio hoy para la ciudad de Valparaíso es indiscutible. Sin embargo existen aristas, que aún no han sido consideradas.Una de estas, corresponde a un elemento importante del folclore nacional, y que se manifiesta a través de la religiosidad popular. Expresándose entre sus variantes el fenómeno de las animitas, el que si bien lleva varios años presente en las costumbres chilenas y Latinoamericanas, aun permanece en el “anonimato”.El culto a las ánimas, es un importante reflejo de la idiosincrasia de los chilenos, y Valparaíso es parte de ello. A pesar de esto, no ha sido considerado como un factor relevante, por lo que resultar menester, incluir esta costumbre en las posibilidades del universo patrimonial de la ciudad, a través de un rescate y levantamiento que ponga en valor dicha manifestación, incorporando nuevas propuestas de interés turístico patrimonial y cultural, manteniendo vigente su historia.
Dans I’ombre de I’État, les informels de la rue á Khartoum (Soudan)

Published: November 2021

En las calles de Jartum, el desarrollo del comercio informal refleja la turbulenta historia de Sudán. Se inserta también la urbanización desigual de la capital, que hoy en día consta de 5,5 millones de habitantes. Son numerosos los comerciantes que trabajan en las calles de los espacios centrales y atractivos de la capital. Viven y son originarios de barrios relegados de la ciudad y de regiones marginalizados del país. Además de los temas funcionales y simbólicos que plantea, la presencia de éstos en estas zonas, rompen con el proceso de relegación de las personas indeseables. En respuesta, las autoridades están tratando de limitar las actividades de calle a través de las políticas urbanas, a menudo represivas. Estas acciones tienen como resultado la categorización de los trabajadores en la condición de informales.Fruto de investigaciones doctorales en curso, este artículo se focaliza en el análisis del papel del Estado en la construcción de la informalidad. Esta construcción, a su vez ilustra la naturaleza de los regímenes que han tenido éxito. La informalidad se define por su relación con un Estado que a pesar de las crisis económicas y políticas, conserva su capacidad de control social en Jartum.
L’irregularité foncière a Oran: l’informel des politiques publiques

Los barrios en las periferias de Orán tienen un paisaje inacabado que afecta tanto a los hogares como al espacio público debido falta de mantenimiento y redes. Vista desde lejos esta informalidad parece responder a una misma realidad, al acercarnos se aprecia que se han producido diferentes procesos de fabricación, implicando múltiples actores, incluso los menos esperados. Este fenómeno se extiende en varias zonas urbanas y tiene una población de diversas categorías socio-profesionales. Este estudio se centra en una determinada dinámica urbana: el territorio irregular. Estos son barrios que inicialmente han sido producto de agencias inmobiliarias en un proceso muy formal, pero poco a poco derivará hacia la informalidad. Tratamos de responder al por qué y cómo de esta forma particular de hacer ciudad y de identificar a los actores involucrados, la reacción y la movilización a esta situación por parte de los habi-tantes en dos suburbios de Orán: El Moustakbal 3 y Ain El Beida.
Reflexiones teóricas y políticas sobre el concepto de territorialidad
Authors: Trivi Nicolas
Published: November 2021

El presente trabajo propone profundizar algunas reflexiones surgidas de trabajos anteriores sobre el concepto de territorialidad, ahondando en la tradición de conceptos en la que se inserta, así como en las posibilidades que brinda para el análisis teórico de la realidad política y social de la América Latina de principios del siglo XXI. Es nuestro interés reflexionar sobre los distintos elementos que componen la idea de territorialidad, cómo se relaciona con el territorio (entendido como espacio apropiado material y simbólicamente) y con los procesos de territorialización, desterritorialización y reterritorialización. Los conflictos territoriales que se viven día a día en el continente, donde se ven involucrados actores sociales de características muy disímiles, requieren de herramientas teóricas flexibles para captar su complejidad. Entendemos que el concepto de territorialidad permite articular la dimensión identitaria, las representaciones y los discursos de los actores sociales, con las estrategias políticas y los aspectos materiales de las disputas por el espacio, ofreciendo un marco para el estudio de conflictos de diversa índole en el panorama regional.

Reflexiones sobre la territorialidad periurbana. el caso de Saint-Basile-le-Grand y Mc Marsterville
Authors: Bédard Mario , Breux Sandra
Published: November 2021

independientemente de su lejanía y antes de sr “atrapada” por los actuales e irresistibles progresos urbanos, la periferia urbana era un lugar habitado por personas que se lo habían apropiado, modulándolo a su imagen y eso le dio un significado especifico. Sin embargo, desde finales de la década de 1960, estos lugares revierten su sentido por un habitar exógeno, iterativo y urgente. ¿Considerando que los nuevos residentes importan con ellos sus formas de vida y habitar, formado por sus respectivas experiencias y sus aspiraciones de bienestar, es posible que se den cuenta, en este nuevo hábitat, de un habitar similar y que, por lo tanto, participen de un mismo sentido de pertenencia?A partir de entrevistas con los habitantes de los dos municipios cercanos de Montreal y que se encuentran en plena fase de expansión urbana, esta reflexión aborda los diversos significados de las áreas periurbanas y múltiples vocaciones territoriales que se asocian en Quebec. Finalmente, es difícil determinar un estilo de vida de la periferia urbana porque los términos de apropiación y los propósitos de identificación vinculados a la periurbanización nominal de Mc Masterville y Saint- Basile- le- Grand son tan diferentes que es improbable que estemos en presencia de un mismo fenómeno. Esta variación nos apareció todo particularmente sensible a la investigación de estos dos ambientes y original estilos de vida, distintos de las otras periferias próximas o alejadas de la metrópolis.
De l’appropriation à l’habiter. Réflexions pour une théorie du « chez-soi ».
Authors: Margier Antonin
Published: November 2021

La apropiación es un concepto clave para analizar la ciudad y las relaciones de sus habitantes con respecto a sus espacios de vida y también con respecto a las relaciones de poder. Sin embargo, polisémico y sujeto a múltiples interpretaciones, el concepto de apropiación es frecuentemente utilizado de forma genérica sin especificar su significado. A partir de la geografía estructural y de las reflexiones de Peter Sloterdijk, este artículo propone un marco teórico de la apropiación bajo el prisma de habitarla. Esta elección epistemológica nos permite principalmente integrar la dimensión ontológica del espacio y la experiencia del sujeto en el movimiento de apropiación.
Valparaíso: vulnerabilidad, resiliencia urbana y capital social
Authors: Kapstein Paula , Gálvez Huerta Miguel Ángel
Published: November 2021

Partiendo de una reflexión centrada en diagnosticar la alta vulnerabilidad que presentan las ciudades chilenas frente a posibles catástrofes o crisis, se construye una mirada positiva sobre las oportunidades de reconstrucción que se le ofrecen a Valparaíso a partir del incendio del 12 y 13 de abril de 2014, el cual ha puesto a prueba la capacidad de resiliencia de la ciudad y de su gobierno local, de su gente y, en definitiva, de su urbanismo. Se parte de la hipótesis de que estas oportunidades tienen que ver con el mejoramiento de los mecanismos de resiliencia urbana, es decir, el fortalecimiento del capital social y el desarrollo de políticas integrales. Sin embargo, se reconoce que Valparaíso requiere de una metodología específica para dar respuesta a su problemática, por la alta vulnerabilidad medioambiental y urbana que presenta.
Turismo de cruceros y patrimonio. Una relación compleja, bien reflejada en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, España
Authors: Goycoolea Prado Roberto , Amaro García Ainhoa
Published: November 2021

El turismo de cruceros es el sector que más ha crecido en las últimas décadas en la industria turística mundial, dejando de ser una tipología marginal, en volumen de viajeros y facturación, para convertirse en una de las áreas con mayor proyección. Como modelo de negocio los cruceros viven de las ofertas del propio barco y del prestigio de los lugares visitados; de ahí que tiendan a recalar en ciudades portuarias patrimoniales, contribuyendo así a su conocimiento y salvaguarda. Pero, a estos beneficios cabe contraponer los impactos que generan las infraestructuras requeridas por los cruceros y la concentración de viajeros que quieren hacer y ver lo mismo al mismo tiempo y en pocas horas. Los efectos son claros en los destinos más demandados. Tal es el caso de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, España, estudiado en este artículo, cuyo auge crucerístico está generando diversas transformaciones urbanas. Cambios investigados en un trabajo realizado por los autores en la Universidad de Alcalá desde tres perspectivas -morfológica, funcional y perceptiva- utilizando métodos analíticos cuantitativos y cualitativos, para descubrir los puntos de conflicto y oportunidades que los cruceros tienen o podrían tener sobre la configuración y gestión de la ciudad y su patrimonio.
Desarrollo rural, política y capacidades desde el Modelo de Organización. Caso de tres grupos del sur de Costa Rica

El siguiente artículo es el resultado de un proyecto desarrollado durante los años 2013 y 2014 por el equipo de extensión de la Sede Coto y SIMPE de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica con organizaciones de Cantones del sur de este país.La dicotomía de la distribución de la tierra en la zona sur de Costa Rica da pie a múltiples factores que conflu-yen en una distribución de los ingresos muy diferenciados, donde no toda la población tiene la oportunidad de ingresar a mejores niveles de ingresos y accesos a mejores condiciones de calidad de vida.Lo contradictorio de la situación es que la zona cuenta con cantidad y calidad de recursos naturales que harían en otras latitudes una zona ganadora, tanto para el desarrollo regional, como para el desarrollo local, sin embargo, éste es un criterio encontrado con singularidad hacia grupos muy pobres y un pequeño grupo de ricos, así como capital transnacional que explota las riquezas de la zona, dejando sólo los ingresos de bajos salarios y algunos programas sociales, los cuales compiten con las funciones del Estado y las instituciones Estatales locales.El desarrollo implica la relación de algunas variables, entre ellas la existencia de capital de inversión y capa-cidad de gestión de las personas, así como de grupos organizados. A la par de esto existe capital financiero suficiente, no sólo en la banca nacional y privada, sino en las instituciones del Estado. Se contradice lo anterior de la conjunción de tres variables para el desarrollo (capital, organización, y riqueza).

O Vale do Taquari trata-se de uma região localizada na porção centro leste do Rio Grande do Sul que no pro-cesso formativo contou com a presença de indígenas, africanos, açorianos, alemães, italianos e descendentes destes. Atualmente possui 36 municípios e seis microrregiões, compostas de área urbanas, mas também de pequenas propriedades rurais. O estudo está vinculado à pesquisa desenvolvida para o mestrado no Programa de Pós Graduação em Ambiente e Desenvolvimento da UNIVATES e objetiva a análise de práticas culturais italianas envolvendo jogos, mutirões, gastronomia e a religiosidade. A pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo com análise de conteúdo. Os procedimentos metodológicos constitui-se de revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa documen-tal, entrevistas e diários de campo com oito produtores rurais descendentes de italianos em que os dados são analisados com base em teóricos da cultura e da etnicidade. Os resultados apontam que os italianos chegados ao Brasil e a partir de 1875 no Rio Grande do Sul ocuparam o território da encosta superior do planalto, preci-samente localizados entre os rios Caí e Antas e áreas que posteriormente denominou-se Vale do Taquari. Na microrregião Oeste deste Vale, espaço recortado para este estudo, encontramos os municípios de Progresso, Marques de Souza, Pouso Novo e Travesseiro, onde constata-se que os produtores rurais descendentes da etnia italiana continuam a manter vários elementos do seu patrimônio cultural.

Studying the phenomenon of childhood philosophically: problems and prospects
Authors:   Svetlana G. Doronina, Institute of Philosophy National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Doronina Svetlana
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The author analyzes the problems and prospects of studying the phenomenon of childhood, justifies the specific features and advantages of philosophical approaches, makes an attempt to explicate the optimal methods and strategies of scientific inquiry, correlating with epistemological, ontological, axiological goals and assumptions of the modern paradigm, within which this phenomenon is problematized and reflexively comprehended. The purpose of the work is to identify the specific features of studying the phenomenon of childhood in the context of the philosophical approach. Methods. The author makes use of general scientific research methods such as analysis and synthesis, serving as philosophical tools. Theoretical reconstruction and comparative analysis, as well as the hermeneutic method of reading texts were used to reveal the peculiarities of studying the phenomenon of childhood, its problems and prospects. Scientific novelty of the study. The study highlights the specific features of studying the phenomenon of childhood; the advantages of philosophical methods and approaches focused on understanding and describing the object under study, creating an integrative idea about it; the author determines development prospects associated with eliminating asymmetric methods of interaction in scientific discourse, and forming interdisciplinary ties. Results. During the research, the author identifies the current problems of studying the phenomenon of childhood philosophically, as well as the prospects for their solution related to the need to form an integrative idea of childhood in the context of interdisciplinary synthesis, using philosophical methods and approaches which make it possible to integrate children’s experience into research discourse, without going beyond the framework of scientific strategies. Conclusions. The philosophical study of the phenomenon of childhood covers a wide range of problems, the solution of which involves searching for answers related, first, to the epistemological and methodological aspects of learning childhood experience; secondly, with ontological, existential and axiological contexts of research. Strategies of philosophical research are aimed at systemic learning the phenomenon of childhood, at tracing the relations between methods, epistemological, ontological, axiological and other assumptions on which cognition is based, and the formation of conceptual ideas about childhood, participating in the constitution of the “adult – child” relations, educational practices in society and culture.

Based on the results of the evaluation of previous studies and the analysis in this study, it is known that currently there are no sensors installed on the tools used for material transfer, communication between machines and machines (M2M) currently there is no data generated so no data is communicated, the interface between humans and machines (HMI) currently uses a local user interface through the Pro-St application and the interface on the fanuc machine, the current transportation system is moving materials to production machines, a manual transportation system, namely hand lifts, materials that have been packaged and will be stored in the warehouse using a forklift (machine for manual transportation), while the unit product movement from the fanuc machine already uses a conveyor, the transportation unit as an information carrier currently has a mechanism for individual identification of materials but the status of the material is not identified in the IT system, the current storage system for placing materials is still done intuitively and the identification process for storage locations is still listed manually on the blackboard. In order for the intralogistics system to implement intelligent supply chain and logistics based on industry 4.0, it is proposed to install sensors on the device to identify material movement and the sensor and actuator interaction data can be analyzed, network connections between devices for M2M communication, use of mobile user interfaces to monitor intralogistics processes and status. identified material in the IT system.

Islamic banking has enormous potential considering that Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world. The current performance measurement system for Islamic banks is still financial and non-financial, and there is an imbalance in the actual value of the company because it views financial and non-financial measurements as two important things that are not correlated. A comprehensive performance measurement system is urgently needed considering that Islamic banks must be able to follow market developments, such as the Balanced Scorecard. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of the financial, customer, internal business, learning, and growth perspectives. Analyze which perspective is the most dominant in influencing the management performance of Islamic Banks. The results of the current research are Islamic banks in the growth stage towards the sustainability stage because they are supported by the application of goal-setting theory. Increasing employee performance satisfaction can be achieved by implementing an optimal system of leadership, motivation, and work spirit. This can be shown by the success of Islamic Banks in getting several awards from the business media.

Published: November 2021

The boiled tea leaves residual was modified with oleum of weight 1:1 to prepare an adsorbent that is capable to adsorb nicotine on its surface. The surface properties of the sample were studied by using the FT-IR spectroscopy after each treatment resulting obvious peaks that indicate the modification of the sample with oleum and the adsorption of nicotine on its surface. The concentration of nicotine in the prepared solutions was measured by the use of spectral analysis. The change of nicotineÎ„s adsorption was studied with the change of time. An increase in the adsorbed amount was noticed until the equilibrium was reached after 24hours. In addition, an increase of the adsorbed amount of nicotine with the increase of its initial concentration was observed at the room temperature. The experimental data corresponded with adsorption models of Langmuir, Freundlish and Temkin, besides, a mechanism of the adsorption of nicotine was suggested to occur with the participation of the two nitrogen atoms.
Telemental Health through a Racial Justice and Health Equity Lens

Published: November 2021

Telehealth has become an increasingly popular method of delivery of
health-related services. Under the umbrella of telehealth lies
telemental health (TMH). Although this type of modality has been around
for quite some time, it was not until the arrival of Covid-19 during
2020-2021 that the United States healthcare system began to fully
accept, embrace, and implement TMH. Due to public health restrictions
related to Covid-19, in person therapy and other social services were
prohibited (or restricted) thus relying on TMH. This article discusses
the link between a racial justice lens, minority stress theory, health
equity and identifies barriers/challenges in telemental health that do
not reflect equity in health for racial minorities including Black,
Indigenous, Hispanic, and Latinx communities, and all communities of
color.
Role of chlorine, bromine, iodine, and dehalogenation in the fluorinated small molecule Y6 for highly efficient organic solar cells.

Published: November 2021

In a recent experimental investigation, the chlorination of the highly
efficient Y6 fluorinated molecule improved up to 16.5 \%
the power conversion efficiency of an organic solar cell. To understand
the better performance of BTP-4Cl:PBDB-TF acceptor-donor combination in
comparison with BTP-4F:PBDB -TF in the newly reported organic solar
cell, DFT calculations were performed in order to obtain a diversity of
parameters related to molecular proper ties, such as electroacceptance,
electron energy levels, absorption spectrum, charge mobility, and
kinetics in exciton dissociation/recombination processes. Interestingly,
chlorination improves charge mobility and the capacity to accept
electrons. The binding energy is lower for the chlorinated than the
fluorinated molecule, revealing an easier exciton cleavage in the
former. Absorption spectra are in line with experimental ones,
suggesting an ex cellent donor-acceptor complementarity. Additionally,
novel molecules were proposed taking into account synthesized compounds,
and the same parameters were analyzed. Results showed exciting behavior
for the theoretically suggested compounds. Many properties were improved
with the proposed molecules, which can also be exploited in solar
photocells. Although it is a challenge to simulate/model a complete
photoactive layer of an organic solar cell, it is proved through
electronic structure calculations that the properties of the materials
involved in the photovoltaic device can be obtained. In this way, give
some light on the power conversion efficiency comparison and propose new
compounds.

Published: November 2021

Objectives: Subclavian (SC) and transapical (TA) approach are
the main alternatives to the default femoral delivery for transcatheter
aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Aim of this study was to compare,
complications and morbidity/mortality associated with SC and TA in a
long-term time frame. Methods: From January 2007 to July 2015,
1,506 patients underwent TAVI surgery in 36 United Kingdom TAVI centres.
Primary outcomes were complications according to VARC-2 criteria. The
secondary outcome was long-term survival. Results: The enrolled
patients were distributed as follows: 1,216 in the trans-apical (TA)
group and 290 in the subclavian (SC) group. There were no differences in
the rates of acute myocardial infarction, emergency valve-in-valve,
paravalvular leak, balloon post dilatation, cardiac tamponade, stroke,
renal replacement therapy, vascular injuries, and 30-days mortality
among the groups. Conversely, the rate of permanent pacemaker
implantation (p = 0.02), the procedural time duration (p = 0.04), and
the 12-month mortality (p = 0.03) was higher in SC than in TA, while
in-hospital length of stay was reduced in SC than in TA (p = 0.01). Up
to 8-years, the long-term mortality was not different among groups (p =
0.77), and no difference in long-term survival between self vs balloon
expandable device was found (p = 0.26). Conclusions: According
to our results, TA provided the best 12-months survival compared to SC,
while the long-term survival up to 2, 900 days is not significantly
different between groups, so SC and TA may both represent a safe
non-femoral access if femoral is precluded.

Published: November 2021

Abnormal oral manipulation, such as tail-, ear-, and flank-biting are among the most serious behaviour problems in modern pig husbandry. They not only affect the welfare of animals, but also have economic consequences. The prevalence of tail-, ear-, and flank-bite damage was estimated in a 1200 sow farrow-to-finish commercial farm in Hungary were pigs grouped by age. A total of 16,023 individuals were observed, of which 4,679 were housed in the batteries and 11,344 were housed in the fattening barns. In the batteries, the prevalence of tail-bitten and ear-bitten piglets in the different age groups ranged from 2.6 to 15.18%, 10.77 to 56.87%, respectively. The likelihood of tail injuries increased with the age of the animals, while the likelihood of ear injuries gradually decreased with piglet?s age. No flank injuries were observed in piglets from the batteries. In the fattening barns, the prevalence of tail and ear injuries in the different age groups was between 2.73 and 6.1%, and between 3.38 and 58.16%, respectively. Flank biting appeared only in older animals, from 156 days of age, at a much lower frequency (1.96 to 3.26%) than the other injuries studied. Some elements of the housing and feeding technology applied in this farm could enhance the occurrence of abnormal oral bite behaviour in pigs. Changing from wet to granulate feed and replacing the grid flooring with solid flooring covered with straw litter could lead to a decline in the incidence of biting.
Digital opplæring i praktiske ferdigheter – erfaringer fra den skolebaserte yrkesopplæringen i perioden mars til juni 2020
Authors: Eben Bjørn , Spetalen Halvor
Published: November 2021

Denne artikkelen beskriver hvilke erfaringer et utvalg yrkesfaglærere i utdanningsprogrammet restaurant- og matfag gjorde da skolene stengte i perioden mars til juni 2020 og de måtte tilrettelegge opplæring av praktiske ferdigheter ved bruk av digitale undervisningsformer. Empirien er innhentet gjennom 26 innsamlede undervisningsopplegg og påfølgende dybdeintervju med seks strategisk utvalgte yrkesfaglærere. Resultatene indikerer tre ulike hovedformer for undervisningsopplegg: synkrone, asynkrone og tradisjonelle oppgavebaserte opplegg. Informantene understreker at det har vært mange utfordringer knyttet til valg av læringsaktiviteter, veilednings- og vurderingsformer i alle formene for undervisningsopplegg i perioden. Lærerrollen endret seg, og behovet for nærhet til elevene både personlig og faglig, ble tydeliggjort. Yrkesfaglærerne uttrykker at de har hatt en svært bratt læringskurve i bruk av digitale undervisningsformer og denne kunnskapen vil de trekke med seg inn i fremtiden både til oppfølging av enkeltelever, for å redusere frafall og som hjelpemiddel for et tettere samarbeid i kollegiet.
Digital practical vocational training during Corona-virus pandemic – a Norwegian experience
This study focuses on how vocational teachers in the upper secondary school program Restaurant and Food Preparation conducted vocational training using digital teaching methods when schools/workshops were closed from March to June 2020. The research data has been obtained through the collection of 26 teaching exercises and subsequent in-depth interviews with six strategically selected teachers. The results indicate use of tree main methods: synchronous, asynchronous, and traditional exercises. The informants emphasize that there have been many challenges associated with, the choice of learning activities, guidance, and assessment methods. The role of the teacher changed and highlighted both a personal and professional need for closeness to the students. The vocational teachers indicate a steep learning curve in the use of digital teaching methods and see themselves continuing to use this knowledge in following up individual students, in reducing dropout, and in collaborating with colleagues.
