Published: July 2019

Penelitian mengenai efektifitas metode double source dalam pengukuran linearitas detektor optik fotometer standar B310 menggunakan metode double source untuk menggantikan metode invers square law yang menggunakan lampu standar (lampu Wi41/G) sebagai sumber cahaya. Pada metode ini digunakan dua buah lampu Halogen yang memiliki suhu warna dan intensitas yang sama. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan sebelumnya menentukan rentang acuan nilai illuminansi yaitu saat kedua lampu menyala bersamaan. Setelah itu kedua lampu dinyalakan bergantian untuk kemudian dibandingkan dengan rentang acuan. Berdasarkan hasil eksperimen, dengan menggunakan metode double source, diperoleh titik ukur yang lebih banyak dan mencapai hingga nilai illuminansi 4 lux. Faktor linearitas (α) menunjukan nonlinearitas dari detektor optik fotometer standar B310, metode double source efektif pada rentang 20 lux dengan nilai α = 1,0013. Ketidakpastian pengukuran untuk linearitas detektor optik dengan menggunakan double source di setiap rentang lebih kecil dari 0,1%.
PERAN PENGUKURAN, STANDARDISASI, PENGUJIAN DAN JAMINAN MUTU (MSTQ) DALAM USAHA PENINGKATAN MUTU

Published: July 2019

Measurement, Standardization, Testing and Quality Assurance (MSTQ) have important role in the recent development of industry, science and technology. Those four elements are interrelated, thus are measurement
without the accepted standard developed through National Standardization System is meaningless. Recently, most of calibration activities are carried out by private sector and their location are concentrated in Jakarta and
West Java. Most of them are focusing their calibration activities to the needs of their parent organizations, and the only small number of them also provides their calibration services to external customers. On the other hand, the number of testing laboratories increase faster as demand from the government for exported or imported products shall be tested by accredited testing laboratories as the application of mandatory national standards (SNI). Location testing laboratories widely spread in the country and their activities depend on the commodities of the region, for example, in the region those produce tea or coffee, there will be testing laboratories for tea and coffee. Scope of activities of calibration laboratories also focused on the measurement of mass, temperature, dimensional as most of Indonesian industries use the kind of measuring instruments for their processes.

Economic study of the membership in standard organizations of foreign countries have to be viewed from the benefit received by the pertinent state or institute compared to the obligation which must be fulfilled. Similarly, in chosing the standard organization of foreign countries to join, the benefit and service received from becoming organizational member of the foreign countries is a very significant factor. But, beside the benefit, the sector area of the foreign countries standard organization related to the circumstance from institute or state to join needs to be considered. It is needed to consider whether the sector have important position in the state economies especially from its exporting ability. Standard of foreign countries which focussed at certain sector or only give benefit and service of certain sector might not be effective enough to a company or state to participate if the state and the company does not cover the same sector.
This study used descriptive method with a view to make description, systematic formulation, factual and accurate with evidence obtained, by studying the nature of and also relation among phenomenon under the study. Pursuant to result of the study from level of benefit and obligation in getting information and expense of a success membership, among 10 organization of standard of foreign countries in the priority and strategic for Indonesia to join, started from highest to lowest priority is: British Standard Institute (BSI), Japan Industrial Standard (JIS), American Oil Chemical Society (AOCS), Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC-International), American National Standard Institute (ANSI), American Petroleum Institute (FIRE), Deutchland Institute for Normung (DIN), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Australian Standard (AS), and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).

Janus Face of Inflation Targeting_Walter_PrePrint
Authors: Walter Timo
Published: July 2019

In the 1980s, central banks around the world stumbled upon a new method for conducting theirmonetary policy: instead of the heavy-handed, „hydraulic“ manipulation of monetary aggregates,they learned to „govern the future“ by managing the expectations of market actors directly.New and better indicators and forecasts would provide the basis for a new communicativecoordination of markets expectations, permitting a more fine-grained and effective implementationof monetary policy, particular in controlling inflation.Focusing on the US Federal Reserve’s prototype development of inflation-targeting, this paper putsthis storyline to the test. Against the recent trend in sociology to conceive of expectations andfuturity as modes of coordination that thrive under conditions of (fundamental) uncertainty that defyrational calculation, I argue that futurity and the formation expectations inextricably depend onprior processes of formalization.Examining the transition to modern ‘inflation targeting’ monetary policy, I show how theeffectiveness of coordination by expectation is achieved by extensive processes of proceduralizationand standardization. While increasing the technical efficiency of fine-tuning expectations, thesegains are only possible because of the procedural narrowing of the scope of communicativeinteraction, which may significantly affect the overall effectiveness of this mode of coordination.I conclude with a call to more closely examine how formal and informal modes of coordination aremutually interdependent – and how the nature of their entanglements affects their effectiveness.

Authors: Sugiyanti Intan
Published: July 2019

Banks as service providers have to behold to the security of ATM in various regions since CCTV and the existing security officers unable to overcome the problem of ATM damage or burglary maximally. ATM crime monitoring system was created to solve this problem by sending alarms and notifications in real time. The main focus of this paper is to define the data transmission on ATM crime monitoring system using MQTT. MQTT is used on the system as a protocol for sending data from the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller and SIM800L devices to the server. All data from various sensor will be sent in JSON format and Quality of Service (QoS) used in MQTT is level 0. Data transmission using MQTT may filter normal conditions and alert conditions on ATM, data sent using 2 topics in order that the data can be used to send notifications and alarms in real time. In this research, SIM800L circuit configuration, SIM800L programming and MQTT protocol on Arduino IDE, and data transmission testing were carried out. The results of the research are that data transmission is successfully sent in real time and the filtered data is successfully divided into 2 conditions, namely under normal conditions and alert conditions. Further development can be done by replacing QoS with level 1 for the security of the data.

Effects of Object Processing on Numerosity Perception Across Development
Authors: Lee Saebyul , Sloutsky Vladimir
Published: July 2019

The present study examined numerosity processing across development. Garner’s interference paradigm was used in Experiments 1 and 2 to test the abstractness of numerosity representations. We asked adults (N = 71) and 4-to 5-year-old children (N = 39) to perform dimensional matching tasks (either numerosity-based or object-based) with a concrete object array and we calculated redundancy gains and interference costs. In Experiment 1, across the age groups, gains and costs were observed in numerosity perception, but not in object perception. Experiment 2 showed that this asymmetrical integral relation is likely not due to a lack of processing time. These results call into question the abstract innate number system and imply that numerosity perception is context sensitive for both adults and children.
Does Age Moderate the Influence of Early Life Language Experiences? A Naturalistic Home Observation Study
Authors: d'Apice Katrina , von Stumm Sophie
Published: July 2019

We explored if children’s age moderated associations between their early life language experiences and their linguistic and cognitive skills. For 107 British children, aged 24 to 48 months, and their families, we collected 3 day-long audio-recordings of their naturalistic home environments (M = 15.06 hours per day, SD = 1.87). Children’s cognitive ability was assessed by parent-ratings and with a cognitive testing booklet that children completed at home. We found that the quantity, lexical diversity and vocabulary sophistication of adult speech were associated with children’s linguistic and cognitive skills. However, these associations were not moderated by children’s age. Our findings suggest that the influence of early life language experience is not differentiated at age 24 to 48 months.
Citation Counts as a Measure for Scientific Impact
Authors: Burgers Jari
Published: July 2019

This thesis presents a look into citation counts as a measure for scientific impact which in turn is used to determine the replication value (RV). first, by comparing citation sources (WoS, Crossref, Scopus and Scite) from which citation counts can be retrieved. Secondly, by removing contradicting citations from the citation count, and comparing this new citation count without contradicting citations with the original total citation count. In both cases, based on the citation count, rank order lists are formed which are compared with the use of two tests. First, Kendall’s tau is calculated to see how well the compared pairs of lists correlate. Second, the rank biased overlap (RBO) is calculated to see how well pairs of lists overlap. The RBO is different than Kendall’s tau because it is able to give more weight to citation counts at the top of the list emphasizing the importance of high ranked articles as opposed to low ranked articles. Both measures indicate a significant correlation and overlap between ranked lists originating from Scopus and Crossref and WoS, and a lower correlation and overlap between Scite and all other sources. Based on the difference between Scite and all other sources, Scite is not yet the best choice as a citation source for determining scientific impact. Both measures also indicate a strong correlation and overlap between the ranked list formed from the total citation counts and the ranked list formed from the total citation count minus the contradicting citations. Based on this high correlation and overlap, taking out contradicting citations is not needed when determining scientific impact.

DISCRIMINAÇÃO HOMOSSEXUAL NA IDEOLOGIA CRISTÃ
Authors: Verbicaro Soares Douglas
Published: July 2019

As práticas discriminatórias contribuíram para a exclusão social de um número considerável de pessoas ao longo da história da humanidade. Muitas ideias de condenação versaram sobre a questão da sexualidade humana, restringindo a importância do sexo como instrumento de desenvolvimento humano, indispensável para o respeito à dignidade de cada indivíduo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo explicitar a influência de dogmas religiosos judaico-cristãs na formação de ideário condenatório à orientação homossexual em sociedades ocidentais, transmitidos de geração a geração. O estudo ressalta a relevância sobre o tema da sexualidade e sua relação com interpretações institucionais seculares que promulgaram a prática da homossexualidade como pecaminosa e contraditória com as orientações divinas. Desta forma, o estudo serve como auxílio na visibilidade do tema, uma vez que estão limitadas as abordagens que versam sobre a temática religiosa e homossexualidade.
Silence in the Woods
Authors: Leete Art
Published: July 2019

This article explores the ethnographic, philosophical, and political background of the image of the northern peoples as “silent,” by analyzing the diachronic perspective descriptions of the Finno-Ugric peoples of the north who inhabit Western Siberia and the Russian North from the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth. Early modern ethnographies treated the Siberian peoples as aggressive, although from the end of the eighteenth century this image was reassessed and a different view of the silent character of the indigenous people was introduced in scholarly literature. Silent conduct was assessed as an archaic quality of the Finno-Ugric temperament, or as the result of the colonial encounter. This manifestation of silence was the most distinctive marker of the modern transformations of power and knowledge in the arena of Siberian studies.

Published: July 2019

The research explores the qualitative parameters of sheepskin and histological structure of Kalmyk lambs skin and cross breeds obtained when crossing Kalmyklambs and Dorper sheepskinned lambs. Scientific and production experience was conducted at “Agrofirma Aduciya” enterprise in the Republicof Kalmykiain 2018. The authors explored sheepskin commodity properties at the histological level was conducted on the lambs after fattening at the age of 6 months. According to the area of sheep skin, the crossbred lambs of the 2nd (experimental) group surpassed the lambs od the 1st(control) group by 11.08dm2(or 11.8%). This difference is explained by higher fattening qualities of the weighed young stock, which have shorter length and wider width of sheepskin. This is explained by the blackness of the animal’s body after fattening. The lambs of the control group had more developed epidermis, a reticular layer and a larger skin thickness, which is characteristic of rough-wool sheep breeds. The lambs of the experimental group have more developed pilar layer, which is typical for the cattle with semi-fine and thin woolen assortments. The density of wool follicles in the crossbred lambs was 3.3% higher in comparison with the control group lambs; the density index (the ratio of secondary to primary follicles) was 12.7% higher. The lambs of the control group have 44th quality wool (39.65 mkm), it has down, crossing hair, beard hair, i.e. rough wool; the crossing lambs of the experimental group have 56th quality wool (29.25 µm), i.e. semi-fine wool. The sheepskin products with softer pile will cost higher.

Published: July 2019

The authors focus on the fight against the most common helminthic diseases of agricultural animals as they see it as an important part of the veterinary science. Bunostomosis is one of such diseases; it is a helminthiasis of ruminants caused by vipostomum trigonocephalum nematodes (in sheep and goats) and vipostomum phlebotomum (mainly in the cattle), which are parasitic in the small intestines. The disease is characterized by diarrhea, exhaustion and death of ruminants. The disease is widespread and causes great economic damage. The authors explored the prevalence of tuberculosis and age-related infection with tuberculosis by ovoscopy and levoscopy in the Amur region. They examined 2655 animals, including 1415 small ruminants and 1240 cattle from five districts of the Amur region. The researchers examined 4 calves and 4 lambs aged 4 inorder to study the period of bunostom development in the organism of animals, which were infected with percutaneously and orally. Brown larvae received from faeces of spontaneously infested animals is considered to be the material for infection. The development and survival of larvae in the environment were investigated in 2016-2017. The authors found out that in the Amur region larvae develop at the temperatures above 40С. The period of development at the temperature from 40С tо 9 0С was 23 days. When the temperature was increasing, the development period was reduced to 5-7 days. In October larvae stop their development. The underdeveloped eggs and larvae left die in winter. At the farms of the Amur region, the infection rate of cattle and sheep is 31.9 and 49.6%. The bunostome infection of the cattle aged 1-11 months is 59,8%; 1-2 years - 26,0; 3 years and more - 19,9; sheep aged 4-11 months infection rate is 52,9; 1 year - 60,9, 3 years and more - 38,7%. The authors observed bunostomes development during 89-102 days in the ruminant organism before the sexually mature stage in the conditions of the Amur region.

An analysis of the Slovenian terminology of musical forms
Authors: Mihelač Lorena , Panić Grazio Jelena , Stefanija Leon
Published: July 2019

The article presents the results of the analysis of the use of basic Slovenian music terms used in writing about musical structure. Since this terminology includes a large number of terms, we have decided to limit the analysis of basic terms to the following ones: tone, note, motif, figure, melody and musical form. For the purposes of research, we have created a one-language corpus on www.sketchengine.co.uk, which contains graduate, masters‘ and doctoral theses dealing with music analysis and several textbooks dealing with musical forms. Such a modern corpus approach makes it easier to search terms and their meanings, which ultimately leads to interesting results on how to use certain terms.
Terminološki problemi u standardizaciji naziva instrumenata antičke grčke
Authors: Šoštarić Lucija
Published: July 2019

Terminološke probleme pri istraživanju glazbe antičkih razdoblja nalazimo podjednako kod arheoloških i muzikoloških autora. Jedno od područja koje pati zbog nedostatka suradnje ovih dviju struka jest organologija. Čak i najkraći odlomci o glazbi antičke Grčke spomenut će liru, kitaru i aulos, no rijetko se koji autor detaljnije bavi terminološkim problemom žičanih instrumenata. Usporedbom opisa i ilustracija uočit ćemo velike nepodudarnosti unutar struka, pa čak i pojedinačnih djela. Najveći terminološki problem u klasificiranju žičanih instrumenata stvara termin lira koji se rabi generički i za pojedinačni instrument. Kako su odlomci o glazbi u literaturi obiju struka najčešće kratki i svedeni na osnovne podatke, rijetko se koji autor dotakne navedene polisemije, čime otežava čitateljevo razumijevanje. Terminološki problemi također nastaju zbog pogrešnih ili arheološkim nalazima nepotkrijepljenog opisivanja, ali i zbog krivih prijevoda. Neki autori antičke instrumente poistovjećuju sa suvremenim kako bi izbjegli posuđenice. U slučaju da ih koriste, one su rijetko u kurzivu, a umjesto njih (ili uz njih) koriste i druge termine. Ovim radom pokušat će se prikazati terminološki problemi triju navedenih instrumenata i njihovo porijeklo na temelju istražene arheološke i muzikološke literature u nadi da će pomoći standardizaciji termina kod prevoditelja te arheoloških i muzikoloških istraživača.
Tension and relaxation (do not) exist in dodecaphonic music of Webern
Authors: Grujić Gordana , Janković Mladen
Published: July 2019

Observing tension in music is generally a very sensitive research field. Authors like Wallace Berry and Joseph Swain believe that this is a principle which is the most fundamental aspect of music experience through its history, no matter which music language or compositional system it is.
Starting from such general assumptions that it is possible to determine the parameters which affect the feeling of tension and relaxation in dodecaphonic music as well, the possibility of recording the closures that are the basis for the structural delineation of the sections and the determination of phrases and sentences in the musical flow is imposed. The system surely exists, the only question is whether we are able to perceive it in a new, dodecaphonic music flow? Is it possible in a dodecaphonically organized work to find dissonant and consonant harmonies, and thus demonstrate the elements of tension and resolution, or do some other musical components have the primacy in organizing and establishing hierarchical levels in the definition of closures in dodecaphonic music? Relying on the writings of authors who have dealt with this or similar theme (Babbitt 1949, Forte 1973, Lerdahl 1989, Boss 1994, Rothgeb 1997, Farbood 2006, Granot and Eithan 2011, Zatkalik 2016), this work will illustrate the systematization and ranking of closures at the hierarchical level at which they operate in the examples of Webern’s dodecaphonic music (op. 20, op. 21, op. 22, op. 24, op. 27, op. 28 i op. 30).
Also, this work deals at a certain extent with the terminology of the cadence-closure. The parameters that are most important for the construction of the closures in Webern’s dodecaphony works are determined, and terminology is proposed: perfect closure – closure – semiclosure. The application of these ideas was demonstrated in the third movement of Webern’s String Quartet op. 28.

Between ethics and norms: The problem of normative perceptions of sex and sexuality research
Authors: Reynolds Paul
Published: July 2019

This article seeks to explore the problems of inconsistent and contradictory understandings of the relationship between normative values in society and ethical understandings in relation to sex and sexuality research. It argues that these judgements are peculiarly vulnerable to moral prohibitions and prejudices, that have contingent relevance to an ethical approach to doing research into sexuality. The very values and normativities that give rise to increased perceptions of risk in this area often reflect pathologies and prejudices that are directly and indirectly critically rejected in the research itself. This discussion will explore this problem and make some suggestions for a more satisfying ethical approach to sexuality research.

Published: July 2019

Cognitive control for the coordination of mental operations is essential in normal cognitive functioning of daily life. Although the decline of cognitive control in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been demonstrated, whether this decline is a core deficit in MCI remains unclear. In this study, we employed a perceptual decision-making task to estimate the capacity of cognitive control (CCC) in older adults with MCI ( n = 55) and the age-, sex-, and education-matched healthy controls (HC, n = 55) selected based on a commonly used battery of ten neuropsychological tests in five cognitive domains. We found that the CCC was significantly correlated to the neuropsychological measures of the battery. The mean CCC was significantly lower in the MCI group (3.06 bps) than in the HC group (3.59 bps) and significantly lower in the amnestic MCI subgroup (2.90 bps) than in the nonamnestic MCI subgroup (3.22 bps). In detecting and classifying MCI using machine learning, the classifier with the CCC as the input feature outperformed the overall classification with neuropsychological measures in a single cognitive domain. The classification performance was significantly increased when the CCC was included as a feature in addition to measures in a single domain, and the CCC served as a key feature in optimal classifiers with inputs from multiple domains. These results support the hypothesis that the decline in cognitive control is a core deficit in MCI and suggest that the CCC may serve as a key index in the diagnosis of MCI.
High-Dimensional Mapping of Cognition to the Brain Using Voxel-Based Morphometry and Subcortical Shape Analysis

Published: July 2019

Background:

It is increasingly recognized that the complex functions of human cognition are not accurately represented by arbitrarily-defined anatomical brain regions. Given the considerable functional specialization within such regions, more fine-grained studies of brain structure could capture such localized associations. However, such analyses/studies in a large community-dwelling population are lacking.

Objective:

To perform a fine-mapping of cognitive ability to cortical and subcortical grey matter on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods:

In 3,813 stroke-free and non-demented persons from the Rotterdam Study (mean age 69.1 (±8.8) years; 55.8% women) with cognitive assessments and brain MRI, we performed voxel-based morphometry and subcortical shape analysis on global cognition and separate tests that tapped into memory, information processing speed, fine motor speed, and executive function domains.

Results:

We found that the different cognitive tests significantly associated with grey matter density in differential but also overlapping brain regions, primarily in the left hemisphere. Clusters of significantly associated voxels with global cognition were located within multiple anatomic regions: left amygdala, hippocampus, parietal lobule, superior temporal gyrus, insula and posterior temporal lobe. Subcortical shape analysis revealed associations primarily within the head and tail of the caudate nucleus, putamen, ventral part of the thalamus, and nucleus accumbens, more equally distributed among the left and right hemisphere. Within the caudate nucleus both positive (head) as well as negative (tail) associations were observed with global cognition.

Conclusions:

In a large population-based sample, we mapped cognitive performance to cortical and subcortical grey matter density using a hypothesis-free approach with high-dimensional neuroimaging. Leveraging the power of our large sample size, we confirmed well-known associations as well as identified novel brain regions related to cognition.
Activity Rhythms Are Largely Intact in APPNL-G-F Alzheimer’s Disease Mice

Circadian rhythm dysfunction is present in Alzheimer’s disease. Animal models of Alzheimer’s disease have been employed to investigate whether this dysfunction is a risk factor or symptom of the disease. The circadian phenotype in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease is very disparate in terms of the degree and timing of the dysfunction. This is likely a result of some models elevating amyloid-β protein precursor instead of just the amyloid-β fragment present in human Alzheimer’s disease. We characterized activity rhythms in a novel knock-in mouse model (APPNL-G-F) of Alzheimer’s disease that elevates amyloid-β without overexpressing amyloid-β protein precursor. Despite increased rhythm amplitude, total activity, and a shortening of free-running period at 15 months of age, all other aspects of the activity rhythm were similar to controls from three to fifteen months of age. At two months of age, these mice were also able to entrain to a light-dark cycle with a period right on the edge of entrainment, which further suggests a healthy functioning circadian system. These data open the possibility that circadian rhythm disruptions in transgenic models of Alzheimer’s disease could be a result of these models having an artificial phenotype caused by overexpression of amyloid-β protein precursor.

Longitudinal studies of development and disease in the human brain have motivated the acquisition of large neuroimaging data sets and the concomitant development of robust methodological and statistical tools for quantifying neurostructural changes. Longitudinal-specific strategies for acquisition and processing have potentially significant benefits including more consistent estimates of intra-subject measurements while retaining predictive power. Using the first phase of the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI-1) data, comprising over 600 subjects with multiple time points from baseline to 36 months, we evaluate the utility of longitudinal FreeSurfer and Advanced Normalization Tools (ANTs) surrogate thickness values in the context of a linear mixed-effects (LME) modeling strategy. Specifically, we estimate the residual variability and between-subject variability associated with each processing stream as it is known from the statistical literature that minimizing the former while simultaneously maximizing the latter leads to greater scientific interpretability in terms of tighter confidence intervals in calculated mean trends, smaller prediction intervals, and narrower confidence intervals for determining cross-sectional effects. This strategy is evaluated over the entire cortex, as defined by the Desikan-Killiany-Tourville labeling protocol, where comparisons are made with the cross-sectional and longitudinal FreeSurfer processing streams. Subsequent linear mixed effects modeling for identifying diagnostic groupings within the ADNI cohort is provided as supporting evidence for the utility of the proposed ANTs longitudinal framework which provides unbiased structural neuroimage processing and competitive to superior power for longitudinal structural change detection.

Authors: Reas Emilie T. , Laughlin Gail A. , Bergstrom Jaclyn , Kritz-Silverstein Donna , McEvoy Linda K.
Published: July 2019

Background:

Although physical activity has been associated with better cognitive function and reduced dementia risk, its association with cognitive decline in normal aging remains uncertain.

Objective:

To determine whether physical activity in youth and older age are associated with age-related cognitive change.

Methods:

Over a period of 27 years, 2,027 community-dwelling adults (mean age 73.5; 60% women) of the Rancho Bernardo Study of Healthy Aging completed up to seven cognitive assessments, including tests of global cognitive function, executive function, verbal fluency, and episodic memory. At each visit, participants reported concurrent physical activity. At baseline (1988– 1992), participants additionally reported physical activity as a teenager and at age 30. For each age period, participants were classified as regularly active (3+ times/week) or inactive.

Results:

Associations between concurrent physical activity and better cognitive function were stronger with advancing age on all tests, even after accounting for education, health, and lifestyle factors, as well as survival differences ( ps < 0.05). Baseline physical activity did not predict rates of cognitive decline ( ps > 0.40). Individuals who were physically active at age 30 and older age maintained the highest global cognitive function with advancing age ( p = 0.002).

Conclusion:

Regular physical activity is associated with better cognitive function with advancing age. Physical activity in young adulthood may contribute to cognitive reserve, which together with physical activity in later years, may act to preserve cognitive function with age.
Estimating the stochastic uncertainty in sample-based estimates of infant mortality in Ghana
Authors: Kposowa Augustine , Baker Jack , Swanson David A.
Published: July 2019

The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is an important population health statistic often used as one of the indicators of the health status of a nation. In many countries lacking adequate vital registration systems, sample methods are used to estimate IMRs. However, evaluations of this approach are rare and the literature contains no assessments of the stochastic uncertainty underlying these estimated IMRs. Stochastic uncertainty reflects the fact that even where the underlying IMR is constant in a small population over time, there is a likelihood of yearly fluctuation in its empirical observations even if it is measured from a complete count of the events of interest. In this study a method is presented that can be used to assess this stochastic uncertainty. We use the country of Ghana as a case study for this purpose. The method, a beta-binomial model, is described, tested for validity, and illustrated using 2014 sample-based estimates of IMR for 13 sample regions in Ghana. As such, the approach we described regarding the revision of sample-based IMR estimates is aimed at taking into account of the stochastic uncertainty while preserving the information concerning the uncertainty due to sampling. In applying the method to Ghana, we find that the sample-based IMR estimates perform well in accounting for stochastic uncertainty and could be applied elsewhere.

Published: July 2019

Background:

The UCP2 gene variation has been associated with the increased risk for obesity and lower response to an energy-restricted diet.

Objectives:

This study aimed to compare the effect of intermittent fasting diet (IFD) and low-calorie diet with exercise (LCD-ex) based on UCP2 gene variations.

Methods:

Subjects were adult men and women ( n = 125) with body mass index between 25–40 kg/m2. During IFD, subjects were abstained from eating and drinking for 13 hours. During LCD-ex, subjects received dietary counseling for low-calorie diet and group exercise program. Anthropometric changes were compared after 4 weeks. The -866 G/A (rs659366) UCP2 gene variation was analyzed and subjects were separated into 2 groups: GG and AA+GA.

Results:

In GG genotype, IFD was associated with a higher weight reduction compared to LCD-ex (–1.7±0.2 vs. –0.7±0.3 kg, p = 0.016). In AA+GA genotypes, there were no differences in weight loss between IFD and LCD-ex (–1.7±0.3 vs. –1.7±0.3 kg, p = 0.967). No differences in energy intake between genotypes (all p > 0.05).

Conclusions:

This study shows that GG genotype of -866 G/A UCP2 was associated with a better response towards IFD compared to LCD-ex.

Farm workers are vulnerable to irregular employment and job uncertainty. These conditions increase the likelihood they will find themselves in living and working sites where risk for HIV is present. Considering the exacerbated risk for HIV among unaccompanied male agricultural workers, a national non-profit farm worker health training and technical assistance organization planned and developed an HIV prevention-education toolkit to assist migrant and community health centers with HIV education to reach this population of vulnerable male farm workers. This article reviews iterative development of the toolkit in three phases, outlines the process whereby community input grounded the product in ways that were culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate for the target population of male farm workers, explores implications of the project as a national initiative to reduce HIV risks in a sizeable but dispersed community, and briefly describes how the overall project was assessed through community-based strategies.

Use of mental health care services for psychological distress is limited among Latino immigrants. In geographic areas where migration has been rapid, mental health systems possess limited capacity to provide bilingual and bicultural assistance. The development of a bilingual and bicultural workforce is a necessary yet long-term solution. More immediate strategies, however, are needed to meet the needs of immigrant Latinos. This paper describes the development of a stress-reduction focused, lay health advisor training that targets individual behavior change among Latina immigrants. The theoretical foundation, curriculum components, and pilot implementation of the training are discussed. As natural leaders, Latina promotoras disseminated learned strategies and resources within their communities. The lay health advisor model is a salient method for disseminating information regarding mental health and stress reduction among Latinas.
