Global COVID-19 pandemic containment necessitates understanding the risk of hesitance or resistance to vaccine uptake in different populations. The Middle East and North Africa currently lack vital representative vaccine hesitancy data. We conducted the first representative national phone survey among the adult population of Qatar, between December 2020 and January 2021, to estimate the prevalence and identify potential determinants of vaccine willingness: acceptance (strongly agree), resistance (strongly disagree), and hesitance (somewhat agree, neutral, somewhat disagree). Bivariate and multinomial logistic regression models estimated associations between willingness groups and fifteen variables. In the total sample, 42.7% (95% CI: 39.5–46.1) were accepting, 45.2% (95% CI: 41.9–48.4) hesitant, and 12.1% (95% CI: 10.1–14.4) resistant. Vaccine resistant compared with hesistant and accepting groups reported no endorsement source will increase vaccine confidence (58.9% vs. 5.6% vs. 0.2%, respectively). Female gender, Arab ethnicity, migrant status/type, and vaccine side-effects concerns were associated with hesitancy and resistance. COVID-19 related bereavement, infection, and quarantine status were not significantly associated with any willingness group. Absence of or lack of concern about contracting the virus was solely associated with resistance. COVID-19 vaccine resistance, hesitance, and side-effects concerns are high in Qatar’s population compared with those globally. Urgent public health engagement should focus on women, Qataris (non-migrants), and Arab ethnicity.

“The Practice Educators’ Academy Program” is an innovative educational intervention developed following a preceptor-focused needs assessment. This study evaluated the program’s effect on self-efficacy and knowledge amongst multi-disciplinary clinical preceptors who precept students across the Health Cluster in Qatar University, Qatar. Additionally, the study assessed satisfaction with the program’s comprehensiveness, appropriateness, and relevance. The program’s effectiveness was assessed utilizing a pretest-posttest pilot intervention study with a single group of preceptors. Preceptor self-efficacy was assessed using the Preceptor Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, a validated 21-item questionnaire. Preceptor knowledge was assessed through a 25-item multiple-choice question test. Satisfaction with program content and delivery was assessed through a 14-item questionnaire with open comments. Participation of 30 preceptors in the self-efficacy questionnaire resulted in a statistically significant increase in their posttest median score (pretest-to-posttest: 3.3-to-3.6, p= 0.001). Twenty-six preceptors completed the knowledge-based assessment, with a statistically significant increased posttest mean score (pretest-to-posttest: 10.2-to-15.7, p< 0.001). Participants indicated high levels of satisfaction with the program (average score= 4.42/5). Our findings suggest the pilot program is effective as demonstrated through a significant improvement in preceptors’ self-efficacy and knowledge. Recommendations for future iterations include placing greater focus on active learning strategies, and inter-disciplinary integration.
Dietary Patterns and Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Findings from a Case-Control Study
Authors: Tayyem Reema
Published: October 2021

Scientific evidence shows that dietary patterns are associated with the risk of IBD, particularly among unhealthy and Western dietary patterns. However, Western dietary patterns are not exclusive to Western countries, as Jordanians are steadily moving towards a Western lifestyle, which includes an increased consumption of processed foods. This study aims to investigate the association between dietary patterns and the risk factors for IBD cases among Jordanian adults. This case-control study was conducted between November 2018 and December 2019 in the largest three hospitals in Jordan. Three hundred and thirty-five Jordanian adults aged between 18–68 years were enrolled in this study: one hundred and eighty-five IBD patients who were recently diagnosed with IBD (n = 100 for ulcerative colitis (UC) and n = 85 for Crohn’s disease (CD)) and 150 IBD-free controls. Participants were matched based on age and marital status. In addition, dietary data was collected from all participants using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Factor analysis and principal component analysis were used to determine the dietary patterns. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a multinomial logistic regression model. Two dietary patterns were identified among the study participants: high-vegetable and high-protein dietary patterns. There was a significantly higher risk of IBD with high-protein intake at the third and fourth quartiles in the non-adjusted model as well as the other two adjusted models. In contrast, the high-vegetable dietary pattern shows a significantly protective effect on IBD in the third and fourth quartiles in all the models. Thus, a high-vegetable dietary pattern may be protective against the risk of IBD, while a high-protein dietary pattern is associated with an increased risk of IBD among a group of the Jordanian population.

Published: October 2021

Abstract

Twitter is a microblog-based social media site launched on July 13, 2006. In March 2020, 476.696 tweets about the government policy in COVID-19 spread on Twitter were captured by the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (Indef). Government policy has a standard meaning, namely a decision systematically made by the government with specific goals and objectives relating to the public interest, whether carried out directly or indirectly. Sentiment analysis analyzes people’s opinions, sentiments, evaluations, attitudes, and emotions from written language. In this decade, Sentiment Analysis is has become a trendy research area. The purpose of this paper is to focus how to implement word2vec using similarity word as a feature expansion for minimize the vocabulary mismatch in Twitter Sentiment Analysis using “word embeddings”. This research contains 11.395 tweets for a dataset, where the dataset will be used in two classifications: Support Vector Machine Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network Algorithm. The output of Word2Vec will be used for feature expansion in this research, where the algorithm of expansion will check in each row in the corpus where has a similarity vector with that word and will replace the word with the similarity of this words if the value is 0. The dataset in Feature Expansion is using 142.545 articles from Indonesian media. The result of this research is ANN is better than SVM, where the ANN without feature expansion gets 68.89 % and using feature expansion gets 72.58 %. For SVM, the final accuracy without feature expansion is 63.95 %, and using feature expansion gets 68.56 %. This research proves that feature expansion can improve the final accuracy.

Published: October 2021

Selecting a major can be quite difficult for prospective college students. The choice may have an effect not only on their academic life, but also on their career path. Due to some restrictions as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, universities must find novel ways to reach prospective students and assist them in choosing their majors, one of which is a college major recommendation system. This system can assist prospective students in determining the most appropriate majors for them based on data from the current students. Unlike other existing systems that employ either a rule-based or fuzzy model, this study employs a machine learning approach using data from undergraduate students at Universitas Islam Indonesia. This paper aims to compare several clustering models (i.e., K-means, Agglomerative, Birch, and DBSCAN) for the purpose of categorizing current students, to which the results will be used for classification purposes using various approaches (i.e., single stage vs. multistage), algorithms (i.e., multinomial logistic regression, random forest, and support vector machine), and scenarios (i.e., with or without GPA-based label). Our findings indicate that the K-means model outperformed all other clustering models and that the single stage with random forest classification model performed the best across all scenarios.

Civil service unlike any other public organizations is glued by norms and culture that regulate workers behavior and attitudes toward efficiency. These culture and principles serve as mode of operation upon which duties, offices are bound. Hence, employed are expected to adhere to the established norms of organization for efficiency service deliver. However, based on the above highlight, the civil service in Nigeria cannot be said to have up to its expectation of delivery qualify services to the people that will further help the government deliver on its mandate. This poor performance could be traced to low morale and weak morale which makes workers to neglect the culture and principles of the Civil Service which is anchored on meritocracy, impartiality, anonymity etc. The civil service in Nigeria still reels in politicization, merit sacrificed for quota-based recruitment/promotion, fraudulent staff claims, abuse of office/position, bribery and corruption, absenteeism, lateness, lack of organizational commitment, insubordination, aggrandizement etc. The paper adopted survey and descriptive research method and data were drawn from both primary and secondary sources. It was found out that the civil service is currently bedeviled with poor organizational culture and practices such from lateness, insubordination, lack of commitment to work, undue interference from the political office holders and other myriad of systemic problems. Based on the findings, the study concluded with some policy recommendations that civil service principles and culture should be highly adhered to by the civil servants which will in turn usher in the most needed productivity in the service. Keywords: Civil service, Culture, Organizational Culture, and Performance.

„Nu cerceta aceste legi că ești prea prost să le-nțelegi”. Despre justificarea normei
Authors:   Facultatea de Drept, Universitatea din București, RIZOIU Radu
Published: October 2021

The paper looks in to the recent practices of the Government to release new regulations limiting the individual freedom due to pandemic situation without a proper justification of the need of such harsh measures. Rather than being a paternalistic approach, the practice suggested that the Government is itself unable to explain why it took such action being believed that it preferred to copy/paste the restrictions enacted in other European countries. The thesis proposed by the paper is that (especially in these emotional periods) the Government is required to explain to the public the reason behind the rules it adopts.
Restrângerea exercițiului drepturilor și libertăților fundamentale prin decretele instituind sau prelungind starea de urgență sau de asediu și prin ordonanțele militare

Published: October 2021

The Romanian Constitution authorizes the restriction of the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms only by law. The decrees of the President of Romania establishing or prolonging the state of emergency or the state of siege and the military ordinances issued during these states represent administrative acts, in addition, their legal force is inferior to that of the law. In implementing the law on the legal regime of the state of siege and the state of emergency, which contains the general legal framework for restricting the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms, decrees and military ordinances may decide which rights and freedoms and to what extent they may be subject to restriction.

Unlike human rights interferences, which constitute a restriction on human rights during normal periods, human rights derogations are severe and widespread restrictions in exceptional cases. They are authorized only in one of the four exceptional states expressly and exhaustively listed in the Constitution: the state of war, the state of mobilization of the armed forces, the state of siege and the state of emergency. The state of alert, regulated only by law, does not represent a state in which derogatory human rights measures can be used.

Anarhia salvează... democrația? Despre regula autoimpusă
Authors:   Facultatea de Drept a Universității din București, RIZOIU Radu
Published: October 2021

The paper analyses the good elements of (classical) anarchistic movement, i.e. the idea that a well-organized society requires each individual to understand and obey a common set of self-accepted rules rather than wait for the State to impose the rules unto each individual. By making a parallel between the 1990 civic movements in Romania and the current ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement in the United States, the paper explores the possibility of renewing the particular rules based on popular demands while keeping untouched the idea of ‘rule of law’ as a key principle in building a functional society.

Abstrak: Tulisan ini membahas mengenai keramahtamahan seorang pemimpin dalam menumbuhkan jiwa kepemimpinan generasi muda. Mengapa? Karena di dunia sekarang ini begitu banyak pemimpin yang tidak memiliki jiwa kepemimpinan. Dengan kata lain, begitu banyak pemimpin tetapi tidak semua memiliki sikap memimpin. Untuk itu, penting bagi pemimpin masa kini untuk memupuk jiwa kepemimpinan generasi muda, karena merekalah yang akan memimpin di masa yang akan datang dengan harapan dapat membawa perubahan. Generasi muda yang memiliki jiwa kepemimpinan harus mampu memberikan contoh yang benar, sekaligus melayani pengikutnya. Pemimpin besar pertama-tama harus melayani orang lain dan dalam hal inilah hospitalitas pemimpin harus dinyatakan. Realitas besar ini merupakan inti dari kebesaranNya sebagai seorang pemimpin. Jadi kepemimpinan adalah suatu proses yang melibatkan seorang pemimpin untuk mempengaruhi seseorang atau sekelompok orang untuk mencapai tujuan. Dan yang terpenting adalah bagaimana keramahan seorang pemimpin untuk mempengaruhi orang lain.

Towards causal explanations of language mechanisms behind emotion development
Authors: Manalili Marie Adrienne Robles
Published: October 2021

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that language difficulties co-occur with social,emotional, and behavioural (SEB) difficulties in children (see St Clair et al., 2011; Levickis et al., 2018).However, the research literature has not yet uncovered the direct causal mechanisms behind this cooccurrence.To illustrate this, I will begin with an overview of key emotion theories that the existingco-occurrence studies have missed. I will then examine relevant language and emotion developmentresearch on the basis of (1) theoretical framework, (2) methodological rigour, (3) ecological validity ofprocedures, and (4) evidential value to real-world educational and clinical contexts. Finally, I willconclude with my reflection on the causality between language difficulties and SEB difficulties inchildren. To respect the preference of the communities I represent, I will use identity-first andemancipatory language (American Psychological Association, 2019; Bottema-Beutel et al., 2020; TheAlliance for Inclusive Education, 2021) wherever applicable throughout this paper.
Weight-based discrimination in financial reward and punishment decision making: causal evidence using a novel experimental paradigm
Authors: Jones Andrew , Hardman Charlotte , Pennington Charlotte Rebecca , Robinson Eric
Published: October 2021

Background/Objectives: Cross sectional research has demonstrated weight-related stigma and discrimination, however experimental research providing causal evidence of financial based weight discrimination is lacking. The aim of these experiments was to examine whether a novel paradigm in which participants attributed financial rewards and punishments could be used to detect weight-bias. Subjects/Methods: One-hundred and twenty-one individuals participated in experiment 1 and one-hundred and sixty-six individuals participated in experiment 2. Both studies were conducted online, and participants were provided with biographies of hypothetical individuals in which weight-status was manipulated (normal weight vs. overweight/obese) before being asked to provide rewards and punishments on their cognitive performance. In experiment 1 (within-participants design) participants observed one individual they believed to be normal weight and one individual they believed to be overweight/obese. In experiment 2 (between-participants design) participants observed one individual whilst also being provided with information about food addiction (Food addiction is real + overweight/obese individual vs. Food addiction is a myth + overweight/obese individual vs control + normal weight individual). Results: In experiment 1, individuals punished individuals whom they were informed were overweight/obese to a greater extent to individuals who were normal weight (Hedge’s g=-.21 [95% CI: -.02 to -.41], p = .026), but there was no effect on rewards. They were also less likely to recommend overweight/obese individuals to continue to earn more money (X2(1) = 10.05, p = .002). In experiment 2, individuals rewarded individuals whom they believed were overweight/obese to a lesser extent than normal weight individuals (g = .49 [95% CI: .16 to .83]. There was no effect on punishment, nor any impact of information regarding food addiction as real vs a myth. Conclusion: Across two experiments a novel discrimination task demonstrated causal evidence of weight-based discrimination in financial decision making.

Published: October 2021

The monograph concerns Polish relativizing expressions, i.e. exponents of different aspects of objects that are spoken about. The author discusses two types of expressions which have such functions in contemporary Polish: lexical units (expressions such as pod względem, w aspekcie, jako) and operational (thematic adverbs, relativizing expressions, prepositional phrases and selected repetitive operations). Purely linguistic issues, related to signalling from which point of view and in what respect a given subject is to be characterized, introduce the researcher to the broad area of fundamental ontological and epistemological problems.
Turbulence in the Post-Cold War Era
Authors: Bieleń Stanisław
Published: October 2021

The author pinpoints the relations between geopolitics and globalisation from the angle of the post-Cold War politically turbulent order. Against this background of a clash between two opposing tendencies – revisionism and defence of the status quo – the author determines the dynamics of the deconcentration of forces in the international system, which is increasingly polycentric and less and less monocentric. He devotes much attention to the identity crisis of the West (from the crisis of US leadership to the depreciation of NATO). He characterizes Russia, with its aspirations to rebuild its superpower status and its imperial mission, as the main geopolitical opponent of the West. Pointing to the contemporary discourse on Russia and the risk of escalating a new confrontation reminiscent of the Cold War era, he critically assesses the consequences of Poland's international policy.
Algerian Public Confidence in the Military as an Institution (2011-2020)
Authors: Elguettaa Belkacem
Published: October 2021

This report reviews Algerian public confidence in the army based on the results of the Arab Opinion Index from 20112020/2019- and places the respondents’ opinions in their historical context, which roughly spans the second half of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s rule and the rise of the Hirak popular movement in February 2019. It concludes that the army still enjoys the confidence of the majority of respondents, and that levels of confidence are governed by the societal perception of a role played by the army in the transition process, in addition to the absence of repression. Comparing trust in the army with other institutions, the report reveals that respondents express a lack of confidence in political parties, elected institutions, and the government in contrast to high confidence in the judiciary.
Improvement of Building Electricity Load Prediction Accuracy Using Hybrid k-Shape Clustering EMD Based Support Vector Regression
Authors: Karijadi Irene , Chou Shuo-Yan , Dewabharata Anindhita , Yu Tiffany Hui-Kuang
Published: October 2021

An accurate electricity load prediction is important to optimizing building electricity load performance. However, building electricity load prediction is complex due to many influencing factors. This study develops a hybrid algorithm that combines clustering approach, empirical mode decomposition, and support vector regression to develop a prediction model for building electricity load. k-shape clustering is used to extract similar building electricity load pattern, and empirical mode decomposition is employed to decompose electricity load data into several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF). Finally, a prediction model using support vector regression is built for each IMF individually, and the prediction result of all IMFs is combined to obtain an aggregated output of electricity load. Numerical testing demonstrated that the proposed method can accurately predict the electricity load in the building.
A Platform-Based OEM-Supplier Collaboration Ecosystem Development
Authors: Biahmou Alain , Majić Tomislava , Stjepandić Josip , Wognum Nel
Published: October 2021

Innovative products and services are key success factors for the manufacturing industry. Development of such products and services usually takes place in partnerships in which the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) distributes the development of new products to many locations in several countries across the world. Suppliers, especially first-tier suppliers (FTSs) are involved in the development process as early as possible, because they have knowledge that is strategically important for developing the new product and services. Historically, the OEM-supplier relationship is characterized by a sequential interaction whereby the OEM gives product and production requirements to the supplier and the supplier delivers his product or service to the OEM. However, collaboration between FTS and OEM is essential to fruitfully use the knowledge of the FTS, anticipate potential downstream errors, and reduce costs and risks. The paper presents recent developments in this part of the supply chain with particular attention to the design of a shared platforms, which is part of an OEM-supplier ecosystem. The development process of such an ecosystem can be seen as a transdisciplinary engineering process, because not only IT engineers are needed to build such a platform-base ecosystem but also people with knowledge of supply chain organization and coordination, especially in product development processes.
An Evaluation of the Industrial Symbiosis Systems Modeling
Authors: Guedes Gisele Bortolaz , de Souza Victor Miranda , Borsato Milton
Published: October 2021

Industrial symbiosis, a concept derived from industrial ecology, emphasizes the collaborative and synergic production among industries. The particular focus is on cyclical flows of resources (material, energy, water, and/or by-products), in order to minimize impacts on the environment. In this way, an industry could reuse the discarded resources of another industry as an input to production. Essentially, the characteristics of the interaction between components of the system define industrial symbiosis as complex and dynamic. Uncertainty, unpredictability, emergency, and adaptability are determining features of this interaction. The development of such an innovative system requires great effort. An important step is to create a representative model of this new reality to support system change. Hence, the present article develops an evaluation of the industrial symbiosis systems modeling. For this purpose, the research adopted a bibliometric and systemic analysis. The results presented in this paper are: (i) an analysis of scientific knowledge about the theme, (ii) the main points discussed and opportunities extracted in the literature, and (iii) the paradigms of industrial symbiosis modeling and simulating. In addition, this work will cooperate as a research base for the development of a new model, which intends to support decision-making processes, during the creation of symbiosis links.
Mental health sequelae of bone cancer: A narrative review
Authors: Tsagkaris Christos , Desse Dimitra , Laskaratou Emmanouela Dionysia
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Bone cancer causes a significant mental health burden. Although the mental health implications of cancer as a whole have been widely discussed, there is limited evidence regarding the psychiatric and psychological sequelae of malignant and benign bone neoplasms in particular.

Purpose: To summarize the scientific literature, present relevant knowledge gaps and discuss a number of recommendations. Methodology: The authors searched Pubmed/Medline and Google Scholar with keywords (mental health, bone cancer, musculoskeletal neoplasms, psychiatric comorbidities). When appropriate, MeSH terms and Boolean operators were used. Relevant peer reviewed studies published in English, French or German until 05 May 2021 were included.

Results and Discussion: Loss of mobility, decrease of physical activity, chronic pain and amputations in combination with patient’s previous psychiatric history, socioeconomic conditions, cancer biology and treatment-related side effects undermine the mental wellbeing of patients and carers. Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed an additional burden, which is yet to be comprehensively evaluated.

Conclusion: More research and solid action towards the integration of mental health care into the management of bone cancer is crucial

Box behnken, a three level- three variable factorial design was used to study the interactive effects of the dependent variables. Fifteen single jersey fabrics were knitted according to the statistical run and tested for physical and moisture management properties. Increase in polyester percent increases the moisture management properties which decreases the fabric weight and dries quickly. High twisted and tight structured fabrics hold moisture and spread more. The wetting time of all the knitted structures at the top and bottom surface were rated as fast (i.e. 3 to 5). Absorption rate of all the fabrics at the top and bottom surface were graded as medium range. Maximum wetted radius at the top and bottom surface were graded as very large (i.e. >22). Spreading speed of the top and bottom surface were rated as very fast (i.e. >4). 100% cotton knitted fabrics showed excellent (i.e. >400) accumulative one-way transport index and remaining samples were rated as very good (i.e. 200-400). The overall moisture management capacity of the 100% cotton knitted fabrics were rated as excellent compared to core spun knitted fabrics which were graded as very good.

La preeclampsia si presenta come una delle sindromi ipertensive che possono colpire le donne durante la gravidanza, durante il parto e/o nel periodo postpartum fino a 10 giorni, tanto che è ancora una patologia che, se non adeguatamente diagnosticata e trattata, può causare gravi danni e persino portare alla morte della donna incinta e/o del parto. L’obiettivo principale di questo studio è conoscere la prevenzione della preeclampsia nelle cure primarie da parte dell’allattamento. Pertanto, la seguente domanda è: quali sono le azioni infermieristiche nelle cure primarie di fronte ai rischi di ipertensione durante la gravidanza? Il presente lavoro si basa su una ricerca bibliografica, con un approccio qualitativo condotto attraverso il metodo della revisione integrativa. Per raccogliere i dati, è stata condotta un’indagine nei database: Google Scholar, Pubmed, Scielo e Medline. I descrittori utilizzati erano: Rischi. Gestazione. Ipertensione. Allattamento. I criteri di inclusione utilizzati per la selezione dei campioni sono stati: articoli disponibili per via elettronica pubblicati dal 2015 al 2020; lingua portoghese. I criteri di esclusione erano articoli inferiori al 2015 e parole chiave che non sono correlate al tema. Per l’analisi completa degli articoli selezionati, è stata utilizzata una piattaforma online (ricerca nei database), con lo scopo di estrarre (titolo e scopo degli articoli), organizzare (in forma di tabella), sumarizzare le informazioni e facilitare la formazione del database. I risultati hanno indicato 35 articoli pubblicati, ma solo 15 articoli, negli ultimi cinque anni, hanno come tema principale la prevenzione e i rischi della preeclampsia nelle cure primarie. Si conclude che le principali condotte utilizzate non solo dagli infermieri, ma dall’intero team che lavora nelle cure primarie, dovrebbero essere basate sul processo di accoglienza incentrato su azioni che possono essere determinanti nella prevenzione della preeclampsia.

ПРОГНОЗИРОВАНИЕ ОСТАТОЧНОГО РЕСУРСА ОПОР КОНТАКТНОЙ СЕТИ ЖЕЛЕЗНЫХ ДОРОГ
Authors: Федухин Александр , Муха Артем

Статья посвящена решению вопросов, связанных с проведением оценки и прогнозирования остаточной несущей способности опор контактной сети на любом этапе жизненного цикла. В статье исследованы теоретические вопросы, возникающие при проведении вероятностных расчетов при прогнозировании остаточной несущей способности опор. Предложено использование вероятностно-физического подхода для оценки реального технического состояния и прогнозирования остаточного ресурса изделий, когда отсутствуют отказы. В рамках вероятностно-физического подхода к оценке усталостной долговечности используется вероятностная модель (DM-распределение отказов), параметры которой имеют физическую интерпретацию – среднюю скорость изменения определяющего параметра (критерия годности) и коэффициент вариации обобщенного процесса деградации. В качестве определяющего параметра принята ширина раскрытия трещин на теле опоры и предполагается, что при определении дефектности опоры допускается вычислять суммарную ширину раскрытия.
Where Can Objects Take You? The Case of the World War II Japanese Airman's Suit
Authors: Shaw Madelyn , FitzSimons Trish
Published: October 2021

“Dad always said that ‘It’s made out of Australian wool,’ and I thought that was just a joke because you couldn’t see how the Japanese would get hold of Australian wool during the war…. But it is a fine material…. They weren’t scrapping for something to wear.” —Wally Lanagan

In December 1942, the Yokosuka Military Department manufactured, surely among hundreds of others, a flying suit, which may or may not have ever been worn by a Japanese pilot. It did, however, end up on display at the Pioneer Park Museum in Dalby, a small town in rural Queensland, Australia. It was lent to the museum in the early 2000s by the nephew of the Australian soldier who brought it home as a souvenir at the end of World War II.

There it rested, until the authors noticed it in May 2019. Through the dusty glass of the display the suit had an odd sheen—was it wool? cotton? A blend? An inquiry to the caretaker led to unlocking the case, and the discovery that the fabric was indeed a blend—but of rayon and wool. Another inquiry led to the lender, and the intriguing story of its arrival in Dalby and its place in a complex family history.

And to the quotation at the top of this page…. And thence to the National Archives of Australia, to search the records of the textile trade between Australia and Japan in the years between the two world wars.

This paper highlights a digital media interactive that melds a 3-D scan of the suit with relevant documents, images, and text. It explores how this one garment embodies both decades of international bickering over resources, natural and man-made, and a transitional moment in the fabrics of war.
herramientas de detección precoz de problemas relacionados con el alcohol para profesionales sanitarios
Authors: Béjar Prado Luis María
Published: October 2021

Los problemas relacionados con el consumo de alcohol constituyen un grupo muy heterogéneo de problemas de diversa índole: social, psicológica y física, que están asociados al consumo excesivo de alcohol, tanto de forma ocasional como regular. En la Unión Europea, estos problemas tienen un notable impacto sobre la mortalidad, con unas 115.000 muertes anuales causadas en personas de hasta 70 años, y sobre la discapacidad, el alcohol es el tercero entre veintiséis factores de riesgo de mala salud, solo por detrás de tabaco e hipertensión arterial. El objetivo es poner de manifiesto, el importante papel de los profesionales sanitarios, en especial el médico de familia y médico de salud laboral, e inclusive farmacéuticos, en la detección precoz del consumo excesivo de alcohol y de los problemas relacionados a través del uso de herramientas sencillas y fácilmente accesibles.

Alrededor de todo el mundo las personas están envejeciendo, por consiguiente, las patologías más frecuentes en la adultez y las enfermedades crónicas, aumentan significativamente en cifras, una de estas patologías es el Alzheimer el cual según la OMS es una enfermedad progresiva, crónica, degenerativa, que tiene como característica principal el deterioro cognitivo, llevando a la alteración del pensamiento, memoria, juicio y toma de decisiones. El enfermero es uno de los primeros en detectar la patología, debido a su quehacer y a su contacto directo con el paciente por ello, su función es buscar alternativas que vayan dirigidas a sustituir las dependencias de la persona para realizar las actividades cotidianas de la vida diaria, evaluando las pérdidas de las capacidades, realizando estimulación cognitiva, implementando terapia de neuropilates y modificación de hábitos inadecuados. El objetivo es revisar las intervenciones de enfermería para el cuidado del adulto mayor con deterioro cognitivo. Asimismo, se busca describir las intervenciones de enfermería, en el cuidado directo del paciente con deterioro cognitivo y enunciar las intervenciones de enfermería en el cuidador del paciente con deterioro cognitivo.
