Memes Nego – o discurso racista (des)velado na composição multimodal
Authors: Moreira Ailton Pinheiro , Lima Ana Maria Pereira , Batista Júnior José Ribamar Lopes
Published: December 2021

Ante as transformações profundas por que tem passado a sociedade atual, em grande parte, devido às tecnologias digitais e à internet, as práticas discursivas se intensificam e promovem a recontextualização de gêneros e artefatos culturais marcados pela multimodalidade, materializando discursos proferidos por forças hegemônicas que se apoiam em ideologias para sustentar-se e fortalecer relações assimétricas de poder. O racismo encontra suporte nessas práticas discursivas e segue posicionando-se, muitas vezes, de maneira velada, e isso requer dos interactantes uma leitura/observação atenta dos textos com que interagem. Memes de internet, pretensamente jocosos, podem atuar a serviço dessas ideologias, naturalizando o racismo. Assim, os Memes Nego são escopo dessa pesquisa descritivo-qualitativa, que objetiva refletir sobre o racismo (des)velado em sua composição multimodal, avaliar seu teor “jocoso”, provocar o pensamento crítico-reflexivo e contribuir com a discussão sobre o racismo no Brasil sob a ótica da Análise de Discurso Crítica (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001; 2003; RESENDE; RAMALHO, 2019; VIEIRA; RESENDE, 2016). As análises revelaram que a ideologia racista ancora-se no teor pretensamente jocoso desses memes e busca naturalizar assimetrias de poder e fortalecer estruturas sociais marcadas pela exclusão e pela exploração de pessoas negras
Postgraduate Professional Education in China: Control Mechanisms and Learning Process
Authors: Donetskaya Svetlana , Wang Bing
Published: December 2021

China’s strong economic growth is undoubtedly due to a set of government initiatives, among which the priority projects are the reform of the higher education system. Since the 80s of the last century, the state has paid special attention to the training of scientific personnel. Thanks to far-sighted state planning and strong budget financing, China has created a competitive national system of postgraduate professional education almost from scratch. As a result, if only 9 postgraduate students were trained in 1978, then in 1985 – already 17004, in 1998 – 47077, and in 2018 – 604368. The number of doctorates degrees awarded from 2005 to 2018 more than doubled: from 27,677 to 60,700.

The important factors in the formation of the system of postgraduate education is the promulgation of national laws and regulations governing this area of educational activity, a well-built mechanism for managing the work of postgraduate studies and a strict system to control all stages of the educational process for masters and doctoral students. Therefore, this article focuses on the organization of the learning process in Chinese universities and academic institutes, as well as the management mechanism of the national system of training scientific personnel.

In addition, according to the data of China's Ministry of education, official statistical information, publications that are publicly available on the Chinese Internet, as well as scientific articles published in major publications around the world, it is shown how the number of universities and academic institutions that train masters and doctoral students, as well as the number of students, admission and graduation of specialists have changed over the past ten years.
Physiotherapy management of children with cerebral palsy
Authors: Tunde Gbonjubola Yusuff , Garba Muhammad Daha , Tobi Elisha Adekolurejo
Published: December 2021

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive developmental movement and posture disorder that occurs during fetal or infant development. It results from an insult to the developing brain before birth, during delivery, or after birth. CP is regarded as the leading cause of childhood disability in all parts of the world. The hallmark of CP is a motor disability, thus, physiotherapy has long been central to the clinical management of children with this disorders. Physiotherapy intervention in the management of this condition focuses on function, movement, and optimizing the child’s potential. Some of the approaches used are neurodevelopmental technique, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, exercise therapy, hydrotherapy, body weight support tread mill training, sensory integration training, and constraints induced therapy. Although, physiotherapy is generally recommended by all members of the health-care team. However, the effectiveness of physiotherapy is inconsistent. The objective of this review was to summarize the proven effectiveness of the most commonly used physiotherapy intervention in the management of children with CP.

Abstract. In the following article it was evaluated the coagulopathy and/or hypotension incidence rate in patients with the liver extensive resection, who were treated with the thoracal epidural anesthesia and pain management (TEA). Materials and methods. There were enrolled 55 subjects whom the liver extensive resection with TEA both in the intraoperative, and post-operative period was performed at the following site: National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology of the NAMS of Ukraine named after A.A. Shalimov. Influence on the haemodynamics was evaluated on the basis of the mean blood pressure (MBP) decrease lower than 65 mm Hg and appearance of the necessity of vasoactive substances’ administration. We determined the coagulation system’s alteration on the basis of changes of the indicators related to the prothrombotic time (PTT), prothrombotic index (PTI) and international normalization ratio (INR). Vascular platelet hemostasis was evaluated on the basis of the platelets level dynamics. Result. 80% of the 55 subjects required administration of noradrenaline with the aim of the objective MBP control. Execution of the liver extensive resection was characterized by the verifiable decrease of the platelets in the early post-operative period, but this decrease was not clinically significant. It was observed the verifiable increase of the PTT starting from the intraoperative period at the 16,5% (р=0,0001) in comparison with the baseline values, which correlated with the change of PTI and INR.Execution of the liver extensive resection was characterized by the decrease of the blood coagulation properties in early post-operative period, and which led to the verifiable increase of the prothrombotic time, INR and decrease of PTI. Conclusion. Now therefore, the influence of the TEA on the systemic hemodynamics and coagulation system requires of the alternative safe pain management methods’ search for this subjects’ group.

Published: December 2021

The issues of protection of the rights of medical workers have recently become especially relevant. Modern medical legislation is due to the imperfection of the legal framework and, consequently, the lack of resources to improve the legal literacy of health professionals, in connection with which they often find themselves in difficult situations. The article highlights the main legal acts that regulate the interests in the field of health care and form a model of the doctor-patient relationship.Objective: to prove in an accessible form to health professionals the main legal acts to maintain their knowledge in the legal field and to explain the mechanisms for minimizing conflict situations during professional activities.
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE COMBINED USE OF PROPOFOL AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE IN ELECTIVE PROCEDURAL SEDATION
Authors: PYLYPENKO M.M. , MYKHAYLOV B.V.
Published: December 2021

Procedural sedation (PS) is the technique of administering sedatives with or without analgesics to induce a condition in which the patient can tolerate unpleasant procedures while maintaining cardio-respiratory function. Planned PSs are performed with procedures of various invasiveness, painfulness and duration, but by definition, they do not reach the depth of general anesthesia and do not require the use of respiratory support or controlled mechanical ventilation, and even more – muscle relaxants. For effective PS, it is extremely important to establish verbal contact with the patient and achieve a stable emotional state of the patient and carefully explain to him the details of the PS. When choosing the depth of PS, it’s necessary to reach a compromise between the degree of anesthesia and amnesia, on the one hand, and the effectiveness of spontaneous breathing, as well as the possibility of an early recovery of consciousness, on the other. If possible, the problem of pain (when consciousness is partially preserved) or nociceptive stimuli (when the level of consciousness is reduced or absent) is solved separately through the use of local or regional anesthesia. In addition, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and some other drugs with analgesic properties are often used, and opioid analgesics are avoided or used in small or minimal doses. Unlike anesthesia, even deep sedation cannot and should not completely prevent the patient from moving during intense pain / nociceptive stimuli. If necessary, the problem of patient movements is solved not only and not so much by further deepening sedation, but precisely by improving analgesia and/or fixing the patient for the duration of short-term painful manipulations. To achieve these goals, PS is most often used propofol, or its dexmedetomidine or midazolam. This publication focuses on the advantages of using a multimodal approach for prolonged PS, which allows for a significant reduction in the dose of corresponding drugs and rate of complications in comparison with sedation with a single anaesthetic at significantly higher doses.

Authors: Chen Ada Y. , Lee Juyong , Damjanovic Ana , Brooks Bernard R.
Published: December 2021

We present four tree-based machine learning models for protein pKa prediction. The four models, Random Forest, Extra Trees, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), were trained on three experimental PDB and pKa datasets, two of which included a notable portion of internal residues. We observed similar performance among the four machine learning algorithms. The best model trained on the largest dataset performs 37% better than the widely used empirical pKa prediction tool PROPKA. The overall RMSE for this model is 0.69, with surface and buried RMSE values being 0.56 and 0.78, respectively, considering six residue types (Asp, Glu, His, Lys, Cys and Tyr), and 0.63 when considering Asp, Glu, His and Lys only. We provide pKa predictions for proteins in human proteome from the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database and observed that 1% of Asp/Glu/Lys residues have highly shifted pKa values close to the physiological pH.

Published: December 2021

Recent research in medicinal chemistry suggests a correlation between an increase in the fraction of sp3 carbons in drug candidates with their improved success rate in clinical trials. As such, the development of robust and selective methods for the construction of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds remains a critical problem in modern organic chemistry. Owing to the broad availability and synthetic accessibility of alkyl halides, their direct cross coupling—commonly known as cross-electrophile coupling (XEC)—provides a promising route toward this objective. However, achieving high selectivity in C(sp3)-C(sp3) XEC remains a largely unmet challenge. Herein, we employ electrochemistry to achieve the differential activation of alkyl halides by exploiting their disparate electronic and steric properties. Specifically, the selective cathodic reduction of a more substituted alkyl halide gives rise to a carbanion, which undergoes preferential coupling with a less substituted alkyl halide via bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) to forge a new C–C bond. This transition-metal free protocol enables the efficient XEC of a variety of functionalized and unactivated alkyl electrophiles and exhibits substantially improved chemoselectivity versus existing methodologies.
Hydrogenolysis cleavage of Csp2-Csp3 bond over a metal-free NbOPO4 catalyst

Published: December 2021

Ru/NbOx catalysts, which combine the merits of facile hydrogen activation, strong binding to benzene ring and the presence of Brønsted acid sites, were well investigated toward Csp2-Csp3 bond cleavage. Herein, we unlock the ability of bare NbOx catalyst in the dissociation and activation of hydrogen molecule and further hydrogenolysis of the Csp2-Csp3 model compounds including polystyrene (PS). In-situ Drift and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that H2 can be dissociated and surface hydride species can be produced over Nb2O5 through heterolytic and homolytic cleavages of H2. We also find that the existence of surface oxygen vacancies plays a key role in stabilizing hydride species. Further, the NbOPO4 catalyst not only allows the conversion of phenylcyclohexane to monocyclic compounds by cleaving Csp2-Csp3 bond, but also enables the conversion of PS to arenes with a high selectivity. This study provides and proves for the first time, the unique ability of metal oxides (phosphates) in the hydrogenolysis of compounds and plastics containing Csp2-Csp3 bonds.
Communication and Cross-Regulation Between Multiple Concatenated Enzymatic Reaction Networks
Authors: Sun Mo , Deng Jie , Walther Andreas
Published: December 2021

Nature connects multiple fuel-driven chemical/enzymatic reaction networks (CRNs/ERNs) via cross-regulation to hierarchically control biofunctions for a tailored adaption in complex sensory landscapes. In contrast, emerging artificial fuel-driven systems most-ly focus on a single CRN and their implementation to direct self-assembly or material responses. In this work, we introduce a facile example of communication and cross-regulation among multiple DNA-based ERNs regulated by a concatenated RNA transcription regulator. For this purpose, we run two fuel-driven DNA-based ERNs by concurrent NAD+-fueled ligation and restriction via endo-nucleases (REases) in parallel. ERN one allows for the dynamic steady-state formation of the promoter sequence for T7 RNA poly-merase, which activates RNA transcription. The produced RNA regulator can repress or promote the second ERN via RNA-mediated strand displacement. Furthermore, adding RNase H to degrade the produced RNA can restart the reaction or tune the lag time of two ERNs, giving rise to a repression-recovery and promotion-stop processes. We believe that concatenation of multiple CRNs provides a basis for the design of more elaborate autonomous regulatory mechanisms in systems chemistry and synthetic biology.
Benchmarking Density Functionals, Basis Sets, and Solvent Models in Predicting Thermodynamic Hydricities of Organic Hydrides
Authors: Yeo Christina , Nguyen Minh , Wang Lee-Ping
Published: December 2021

Many renewable energy technologies, such as hydrogen gas synthesis and carbon dioxide reduction, rely on chemical reactions involving hydride anions. When selecting molecules to be used in such applications, an important quantity to consider is the thermodynamic hydricity, which is the free energy required for a species to donate a hydride anion. Theoretical calculations of thermodynamic hydricity depend on several parameters, mainly the density functional, basis set, and solvent model. In order to assess the effects of the above three parameters, we carry out hydricity calculations for a set of molecules with known experimental hydricity values, generate linear �fits, and compare the R-squared, root-mean-squared error, and Akaike Information Criterion across different combinations of density functionals, basis sets, and solvent models. Based on these results we are able to quantify the accuracy of theoretical predictions of hydricity and recommend the parameters with the best compromise between accuracy and computational cost.

The proportion of Pacific academics in permanent confirmation path positions at New Zealand universities (1.4 percent) continues to lag far behind the Pacific share of New Zealand’s population (7 percent). In this paper, we use a thematic talanoa to explore the experiences of Pacific early career academics (PECA) at the University of Auckland to highlight the key themes, challenges and features of our daily lives in the colonial, Western, and Pākehā institution that is the university. This paper sheds light on the systemic and structural barriers that impact PECA journeys through higher education and suggests actions that universities in New Zealand can take to further support, nurture, and develop PECA pathways into and upward through the academy.
“Guardians” of Signatures? Future Directions in Pacific History from a Pacific Early Career Academic in Aotearoa
Authors: Marcia Leenen-Young
Published: December 2021

As a Pacific early career academic sitting between history and Pacific studies, I see unresolved tension concerning the lack of prioritisation of Pacific voices in Pacific history. In this article I explore how Pacific voices are included in the writing and teaching of Pacific history to establish that this is a continuing and unresolved issue. To do this, I survey articles in the Journal of Pacific History between 2015 and 2020 to trace the inclusion and prevalence of Pacific voices through authorship and prioritisation of historical evidence, alongside analysis of the teaching of Pacific history in universities in Aotearoa.
Navigating Gendered Relational Spaces in Talanoa: Centring Gender in Talanoa Research Methodology
Authors: Moeata Keil
Published: December 2021

Talanoa is a research methodology that foregrounds Pacific cultural values and acknowledges the importance of the positioning of researchers and participants in the research space. Researchers are encouraged to consider how their social characteristics, such as their gendered social positioning, shape their interactions with participants. Scholarship that carefully examines the significance of positionality, and approaches research with Pacific people from a Pacific epistemological stance, provides critical conceptual and practical guidance. In this paper, as a married Samoan mother and early career researcher in the social sciences, I reflect on gendered relational spaces in one-on-one talanoa with Pacific mothers and fathers.
Poetic Deviances, Lessgo Deconstruct the Master’s Tools: Creatively Critical Talanoa Mālie and Critical Autoethnographic Defiance

Published: December 2021

Indigenous Pacific knowledges embody creative modes of expression and sensibilities as meaning–making. Academia, as a Western-oriented institution, however, privileges intellectualisations that favour abstract critical thinking through more objective lenses. As Moana–Pacific–Pasifika researchers, being creatively critical in higher education begins from our Indigenous concepts and creative practices such as poetry. Talanoa mālie provides a worldview of being–knowing–seeing–doing that we inhabit as Tongans within higher education beyond the boundaries of our ancestral fonua or whenua. Our critical autoethnographic reflections as early career academics are woven through and positioned within our wider talatalanoa, which ultimately seeks to defy, disrupt, and deconstruct dominant Western academic tools and practices within the university context in Aotearoa–New Zealand.
Suʻifefiloi: A Samoan Methodology for Transdisciplinary Theorising in Cosmopolitan Worlds
Authors: Lana Lopesi
Published: December 2021

As universities make moves toward transdisciplinary research, suʻifefiloi, the Samoan practice of sewing different parts together, offers a culturally grounded research methodology for transdisciplinary theorising by Pacific scholars. Pacific transdisciplinary actors working on theory within the cosmopolitan context requires, as Gordon writes, a willingness to go beyond discipline areas to produce knowledge. Theory work, as this paper argues, requires transdisciplinarity and a willingness to go beyond one’s discipline area to extend knowledge. Working with Tuhiwai Smith’s assertion on the importance of theory, this paper discusses the usefulness of suʻifefiloi in recent turns to transdisciplinarity.
Time To Make A Song And Dance: Cultural Revolt in Auckland in the 1960s

‘The Terrible Screaming’ is a short story by the New Zealand writer Janet Frame, in which a city is awakened in the night by a terrible screaming which everyone ignores, fearing that if they admit to hearing it they will be labelled insane. The ‘city’, Murray Edmond suggests, can be read as New Zealand, or more specifically Auckland, where Frame - who might be claimed as ‘our writer of the 60s’ - spent 15 months in Oakley psychiatric hospital.
A survey of the organization and administration of education in New Zealand museums and art galleries
Authors:   , Barrow Terence
Published: December 2021

The problem of this thesis arose out of two questions, firstly, "What
are New Zealand museums and art galleries contributing to education?"
and secondly, "Are they effective as educational institutions?" To
answer both questions the task was to find out what these institutions
are in fact doing in the field of education. Investigations based on a
survey of this kind were, as far as New Zealand is concerned, virtually
non-existent, but where possible the problem was related to the limited
literature available. Critical comments on the merits or limitations of
this scant literature is contained in the annotated bibliography.
An enquiry into the course of development of the notion of justice in children
Authors:   , Halliday G. D.
Published: December 2021

Recently in the locality in which the writer lives, there was formed a "Free Discussions Club". The purpose of its formation was to provide a focal point at which those interested could meet and discuss topics of cultural and general interest. At one of its meetings a paper entitled "Fundamental Morality" was presented. The question raised was one which has exercised the minds of philosophical thinkers of every age and of every school - Is there an ultimate basis for morality? Are actions which are formally wrong - wrong because the law says they are wrong - really wrong in an absolute and ultimate sense. The question thus arose. If the existence of an absolute basic for morality is open to such doubt and uncertainty, upon what is based the moral system of man?

Según estas estimaciones, entre cuatro y seis millones de personas en Estados Unidos experimentarán en algún momento de su vida un episodio de esquizofrenia (Anderson, et al., 1986). Aunque los avances en psicofarmacología han ayudado a aliviar los síntomas angustiosos asociados al trastorno, a menudo queda un nivel significativo de síntomas residuales que pueden variar en intensidad a lo largo del tiempo y entre individuos. El curso del trastorno puede caracterizarse por recaídas intermitentes marcadas por períodos de rehospitalización (Anderson, et al., 1986; Kopelowicz y Liberman, 1998). Incluso entre las personas que cumplen con la medicación, las tasas de recaída pueden superar el 20% anual (Gorman, 1996)..."
PAF con agresores sexuales

"La historia del tratamiento de los delitos sexuales es paralela a la historia de los tratamientos psicológicos como campo más amplio. Cuando las teorías y los enfoques psicoanalíticos eran populares, los clínicos ofrecían estos enfoques para tratar la conducta de los agresores sexuales. Cuando la institucionalización era la norma para tratar problemas de conducta significativos, se empleaban programas de tratamiento de “psicópatas sexuales” en hospitales para tratar la conducta delictiva sexual. Cuando los enfoques conductuales aumentaron su popularidad, los clínicos emplearon cada vez más enfoques conductuales para tratar la conducta sexualmente problemática (Kohlenberg, 1974a, 1974b). Cuando la psicología cognitiva compitió por el protagonismo psicológico, de nuevo, el tratamiento de los delitos sexuales enfatizó dichos enfoques. A mediados de la década de 1980, la prevención de recaídas (PR) surgió como un enfoque viable para el tratamiento de la conducta de agresores sexuales. En dos décadas, la PR reinó como el “patrón oro” para el tratamiento de la conducta de agresores sexuales (Newring et al., 2009). Durante la última década, la PR ha sido considerada como el enfoque cognitivo-conductual más popular para tratar los delitos sexuales (Laws et al., 2000)..."

"La depresión es, al mismo tiempo, muy común y muy grave. De hecho, la depresión es uno de los problemas más frecuentes que se presentan en la psicoterapia ambulatoria, siendo catalogada como el trastorno más grave del mundo por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (Murray y López, 1996). La depresión genera importantes costes económicos a nivel social y provoca un importante deterioro funcional, además de angustia en las personas deprimidas y en sus allegados. El suicidio, por supuesto, es el coste final. ¿Cómo se puede utilizar la PAF específicamente con los clientes que presentan depresión? Por un lado, Tsai et al.

Como sin duda saben los lectores de este capítulo, la PAF es un poco anómala dentro del panorama terapéutico actual. Por un lado, la PAF se deriva de la epistemología conductual radical. Por otro lado, la PAF es más similar clínicamente a los enfoques psicodinámicos que a las terapias conductuales tradicionales. Por lo tanto, la PAF ocupa un espacio terapéutico único en el sentido de que es capaz de tender un puente entre los mundos conductual y psicodinámico (véase Kohlenberg y Tsai, 1991, capítulo 7).

Published: December 2021

The primary role of the government is to provide safety and security of members of the society and must ensure that this particular constitutional mandate is achieved. Holistic measures are required to address crime and insecurity that is prominent in all communities in Nigeria. Crime prevention is a proactive activities and synergies between government, criminal justice system and the other role players. These activities are geared towards prevention and reduction of crime and fear of crime. It is crucial to identify root causes of crime and disorderly events, thereafter, develop crime prevention strategies and plans to address and reduce crime and its potential consequences. The paper focuses on the evaluation of strategies and approaches adopted by the criminal justice system and law enforcement in addressing crime in Nigeria communities. The study adopted qualitative methodology. Interview technique was used to collect data from carefully selected participants. Finding reveals that crime prevention includes all activities which reduce, deter, or prevent the occurrence of crime, cooperation with the community is mandated in the form of community policing, sector policing in addressing issues like poverty and unemployment through government’s redistributions strategy, criminal justice officials are not implementing crime prevention approaches effectively. Recommendation includes; specialized training for police and partners involved in crime prevention, educate role players and partners on the implementation of effective crime prevention approaches, techniques and strategies, crime problem must be addressed from the grass-root, need to recognize crime victims, the environment, the predisposing and precipitating factors that led to crime, when developing plans and intervention, need to adopt technology in the fight against crime and crime prevention.

Published: December 2021

The adoption of IFRS enhanced the transparency of stewardship reporting and thus improved the investment ability of countries affected. The study examined the moderating effect of institutional quality on the relationship between international financial reporting standards and foreign direct investment in Nigeria from 2012 to 2018 Institutional quality was measured by political stability and control of corruption while foreign direct investment was measured by foreign investment on equity, foreign portfolio investment on money market and foreign direct investment on trade credits. Ex-post facto research design was adopted and the Generalised Methods of Moments (GMM) was used for the analysis. The study found that with the aid of institutional quality, the IFRS has a significant effect on investment inflows in Nigeria. The study concludes that international financial reporting standards has a significant influence on foreign direct investment with strengthened institution and anticorruption efforts in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommends that the Nigerian government should strengthen its institutional mechanisms to fully benefit from the adoption of IFRS and drive inflows of foreign direct investment.

Yaro Yamane's formula was used to select a sample of 1104 private schools across the six states in the South-West Geopolitical Zone while proportionate sampling was used to send the questionnaire across these states. Data were collected from 879 private schools’ through administered questionnaires completed by management staff. The collected data were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis. The finding shows that although MO is necessary for schools' performance, it requires the mediating effects of innovative services to achieve greater performance. The study, therefore, suggests that private schools should be market-orientated to achieve high performance.

Maternal health is the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period. World Health Organization (WHO) record every day in 2017 about 810 women died from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Between 2000-2017, the maternal mortality ratio dropped by about 38% worldwide, but 4% of all maternal deaths occur in low and lower middle-income countries. Persistent occiput posterior (OP) is associated with increased rates of maternal and newborn morbidity. Cesarean delivery is higher (3 times greater risk of death) maternal morbidity and mortality than vaginal delivery and also costs more than normal childbirth. Forceps extraction is one of the operative obstetric actions that aims to help childbirth through normal childbirth. This is done for all conditions that threaten the mother and fetus that have indications to undergo childbirth. the use of forceps techniques, will assure successful, safe, and steady performance of forced delivery. Therefore, obstetric forceps should be inherited of skills to the trainee at this time. Therefore, it is reasonable for the standards establishing the proper position for forceps delivery to vary between experienced and inexperienced operators. The first priority is safe and secure implementation of the procedure.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a public health problem in Pekanbaru. It is transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The use of insecticides to kill vectors is a common practice. It is often used in outbreaks by fogging and daily use of insecticides in households. Household insecticides contain a variety of active ingredients such as organophosphates, carbamates, synthetic pyrethroids, and their combinations. This study aims to determine the sensitivity of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes from various household insecticides. This research was descriptive research by conducting a susceptibility test from World Health Organization. Adult mosquitoes were obtained from the breeding of larvae collected from dengue-endemic areas in Pekanbaru. Three types of insecticides are widely distributed in the market consisting of insecticides X with the active ingredient cypermethrin, transfluthrin, and imiprothrin, insecticide Y containing transfluthrin, and insecticide Z containing pralethrin and sifluthrin. Each insecticide was exposed to an adult mosquito by applying insecticides to filter paper and exposed for 1 hour and observed after 24 hours. The death of mosquitoes in the three types of insecticides is less than 80%. Based on the WHO criteria mortality of less than 80% showed a resistant mosquito. This tendency of resistance is probably caused by long-term continuous use.

Introduction: Recreational scuba diving has existed for over 70 years with organisations emerging that teach individuals with disabilities to dive. It is unclear what the physical and psychosocial effects of scuba interventions might be. This systematic review explores evidence for the effects of scuba diving in individuals with neurological disability, intellectual disability and autism. Methods: The databases Medline, EMBASE, Ovid Emcare, and SportDiscus were searched. Included papers described a scuba-based intervention for clients with a neurological disability, intellectual disability and autism, with physical or psychosocial outcomes explored in the paper. Quality of the included papers was assessed using the McMaster Appraisal Tools, with descriptive data synthesis completed to explore the physical and psychosocial effects of the interventions. Results: Four papers met the inclusion criteria: a cross-sectional investigation, a phenomenological study, a case-control study and a multiple case study. The quality of the papers was low to moderate. Papers addressed the psychosocial effects of scuba diving, including motivation to participate, participant experiences, the effect on cognition and physical self-concept. One study reported an increase in self-concept for the majority of participants. An increase in understanding instructions and in visual attention was reported in another. Enjoyment of the activity was reported and motivators to be involved in scuba diving for people with disabilities included fun and excitement. No papers addressed functional outcomes. Conclusions: Whilst scuba diving interventions appear to enhance physical self-concept and are enjoyable, conclusive evidence regarding effectiveness could not be determined. Research in this area is extremely limited.
