O espaço de celebração da Comunidade Cultual
Authors: Melo José Raimundo de
Published: February 2021

O artigo realiza uma leitura teológico-litúrgica do espaço de culto, à medida que trava contato com documentos litúrgicos pós-conciliares. O espaço de celebração não é neutro, nem pode ser considerado independente da comunidade ci qual se destina, mas é imagem da assembleia reunida, ícone espaço-temporal da Igreja local. Aí a assembleia deve observar-se como frente a um espelho, Igreja na igreja. A grande diversidade de espaços cultuais existentes corresponde, pois, à diferente autocompreensão da comunidade em cada época. Iniciando pelo edifício de culto em geral, a domus Ecclesiae, o artigo segue enfocando os principais ambientes que compõem este espaço: lugar dos fiéis, dos ministros, ambão e altar. E conclui com uma consideração crítica dos tipos mais comuns de espaço de celebração existentes entre nós.

Published: February 2021

Vitiligo is a acquired skin disease characterized by a well-defined depigmented macules caused by progressive loss of functional melanocytes. Vitiligo usually appears first during childhood or young adults. Management of vitiligo in children are more difficult because the preference of therapy is limited when compared with adult. Targeted 308 nm UVB phototherapy is used for local vitiligo in children as it can be focused on the lesion and reduce the side effects. A 4-year-old girl, came to dermato-venereology polyclinic of Indera Hospital Denpasar with complaints of white patch on her lips for 3 weeks. Based on the history and physical examination, she was diagnosed with focal vitiligo. She was treated with targeted 308 nm excimer light phototherapy three times a week. Five sessions of phototeraphy resulted good response characterized by repigmentation of the lesion without redness and blisters.The therapy aims to achieve the best results with minimal side effects. Phototherapy targets are recommended for local vitiligo and especially for new small lesions as well as pediatric vitiligo. The mechanisms of this phototherapy is to trigger repigmentation, stabilization, immunosuppression and immunomodulation. The conclusion is targeted 308 nm phototherapy is quite useful for treating vitiligo even though more therapy sessions are needed.
Sturzangst
Authors: Lindner Reinhard
Published: February 2021

Der Sturz im Alter ist eine häufige und oftmals psychisch belastende Erfahrung. Neben Schmerz und körperlichen Folgeerkrankungen fördert der Sturz Gefühle der Zerstörung und des Verlustes. Infolge eines Sturzes kann, besonders bei traumatisch bedingter struktureller Störung, eine Sturzangst entstehen. Psychopathologisch betrachtet kann diese als spezifische Phobie – durchaus auch mit Panik – aufgefasst werden. Sie bedarf einer komplexen körperlichen wie auch psychotherapeutischen Behandlung. Anhand der Kasuistik einer 73-jährigen Patientin mit Sturzangst wird die Reaktualisierung ehemals traumatischer Erfahrungen als mögliche Genese dieser Sturzangst diskutiert. Es empfiehlt sich, bei Patienten mit Sturzangst nicht nur anamnestisch nach Angstund Traumafolgestörungen im Lebensverlauf zu fragen, sondern besonders in der ärztlichen, physiound psychotherapeutischen Interaktion Wiederholungen dysfunktionaler Beziehungsmuster wahrzunehmen und in Haltung und Ansprache aufzugreifen.

Lombok is a tourist destination that presents interesting diversity for tourists. During its development, Lombok has applied the concept of halal tourism which includes services, serving halal food, spiritual needs, communication, and other matters related to ha lal branding. This study focuses on informants' perceptions of the relationship between tourism index, experience quality, and revisit intention of tourist destinations in Lombok. The study was conducted by surveying 87 tourists who came from Indonesia, specifically Muslims, those who have stayed in Lombok and have visited at least in the last 24 months. The most suitable informant unit in the sample is purposive. We use the PLS analysis model to simplify data processing. The findings of the study are divided into 3 hypotheses which explain that the season index has a significant effect on experience quality. Furthermore, experience quality has a significant effect on revisit intention, and the tourism index has no significant effect on revisit intention. The novelty of this study lies in the uniqueness of the object, analysis model, and variables that have been designed so that it is very interesting in its presentation and is a distinct difference from other studies.

Published: February 2021

The COVID -19 pandemic has affected many aspects of life, one of which is in the field of education. Transformation toward various e-learning process has been conducted in order to prevent transmission of the disease caused by massive gathering. Obstacles appear when trying to deliver and assess practical skills which are usually done face to face with the teachers or instructors. These obstacles are also seen in pharmacy schools where skills such as patient counselling, compounding and dispensing, etc. are important competencies for the students to achieve. In order to overcome these obstacles, we developed a method for conducting the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) through online process. This study was aimed to evaluate the new online OSCE method for pharmacy students to be conducted in the pandemic era.

The evaluation of online OSCE trial was conducted using a simple Google form-based questionnaire which evaluated the platform used, the process of online OSCE and the instruction understandings. Respondents consisted of 52 examinees from the students of Pharmacist Profession Program UMY and 15 examiners from the lecturers or assistants who participated in the online OSCE trial held in June 2020. Data was analyzed descriptively to give a comprehensive picture on respondents’ perception towards the new method.

The result showed that 78.8% examinees and 73.3% examiner agreed that the platform was easy to use, 65.4% examinees and 100% examiner agreed that the whole process of the exam was easy to understand, only 15.4% examinees and 26.7% examiner agreed that the time was sufficient, 73.1% examinees and 100% examiner agreed that the instructions of each station was clear. It can be concluded from the study that online OSCE method was feasible to be conducted during pandemic, particularly, for clinical pharmacy skills. Adjustment should be done to ensure that the time allocation for each station is adequate.

Ischemic Heart Disease (Non ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction-NSTEMI) is the leading cause of death in Indonesia after Stroke. Enoxaparin and Fondaparinux are the drugs of choice for this condition. However, there is a little study about these drugs in Indonesian people. Therefore, the objective of the study is to determine the effectivity of enoxaparin and fondaparinux in CK-MB reduction in Indonesian people.

The methods of the study is retrospective observational study. A total of 43 patients were met inclusion criteria (32 in the enoxaparin group and 11 in the fondaparinux group). The outcome of the study was CK-MB reduction and the time of dyspnea was disappeared.

The results of the study showed no statistic difference between enoxaparin and fondaparinux in reducing CK-MB blood plasma level (-29.00 vs -33.09; p 0.715), and also the time of dyspnea was disappeared (3.44 vs 3.09 days; p 0.347). Therefore, the choice of these agents are based on clinical condition, adverse effects and pharmacoeconomic aspects.
The CCP’s Development of Artificial Intelligence: Impact on Future Operations
Authors:   Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taiwan, Lu Shyi-Min
Published: February 2021

The development of artificial intelligence and related technologies has a potential serious impact on the industrial development and the military operations. The Chinese Communist Party has also classified this area as a key direction of the future development, hoping that in this new wave of military affairs innovation, under the absolute superiority of economic and military affairs, China could surpass the United States in one fell swoop, changing the world situation in which the United States is the only military superpower since the end of the Cold War. In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi Jinping clearly stated that it should accelerate the development of military intelligence and strengthen the joint combat capability of the network information system, including the R&D of the innovative weapons and equipment. As Xi Jinping took over the presidency of China in 2013, he initiated the "dream of strong army". In the future, artificial intelligence is bound to be an important part of the CCP's military modernization, and it is also a foresighted preparation for winning the next war. At present, most of the CCP’s research on military development in terms of artificial intelligence tends to be on hardware devices, such as automated combat vehicles, autonomous drones and remote-controlled submarines. These related technologies rely heavily on the mechanical engineering and traditional R&D. The CCP intends to combine the development of military science and technology with the advanced weapons as a means of "killer" conception for future regional wars against the United States and other major powers. In this concept, the Communist Army will carry out paralytic asymmetrical attacks to its potential enemies. In the past, the "killer" weapons may be the attack missiles that attack large ships, but now they may include a new generation of artificial intelligence weapons that use the big data, the Internet of Things, or the cloud computing. In the face of the development of the CCP’s artificial intelligence militarization, not only we must concern about its current major developments, but also have to analyze the motives behind it, so that we can make correct judgments in the future operations to block the CCP’s media campaign and arms deterrent. This is the focus worthy of our urgent attention.

Alongside the direct health impact of COVID-19 itself, there has been increasing recognition of the consequences of the pandemic for mental health. Initial attention focused on the front line health workers impacted by the first surge, but Americans have felt the impact of the pandemic and the strategies required to contain it far more broadly.Prior to COVID-19, the mental health of young adults in the United States had already been recognized as a major concern, with suicide representing the 2nd-leading cause of death among individuals age 10-34 (unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in this age group). With the advent of the pandemic, many in this group have experienced disruption in college or graduate school plans, family life, or employment -- particularly as they tend to have jobs with less flexibility or capacity for remote work.In our earlier 50-state survey wave in May, we noted substantial elevation in rates of depression (up to 27% across age groups), compared to historical norms using the same screening measure - in those aged 20-39, rates of moderate depression between 2013 and 2016 averaged to 7.7%. In this report, we examine whether rates of depression among people aged 18-24 changed during the summer and early fall, as the pandemic expanded and shifted to new regions of the US. We characterize mental health in more detail, looking at individual symptoms, including thoughts of suicide, generalized anxiety, and disruption in sleep1. We also consider whether particular demographic subgroups are differentially impacted in terms of mental health.

Background: Arrhythmias are common in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and contribute to morbidity and mortality. The prevalence, type, and presentation vary depending age and other factors. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of arrhythmias and associated factors in children with CHD in King Fahad Hospital, Al Baha, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This was a hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study conducted from January 2010 to December 2020. In total, 185 patients, aged 1 day to 14 years, were included. Children with arrhythmias and CHD were included, while those without CHD were excluded. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. Results: Arrhythmias were confirmed in 46 patients (24.86%), while 139 patients (75.14%) had no electrocardiographic abnormalities, 95 % CI (14.12–21.22). Among the arrhythmias, we found that first-degree atrio-ventricular block was the most common and reported in 30 patients (16.21%); atrial tachyarrhythmias in 5 patients (2.7 %); premature ventricular contractions in 4 patients (2.16%); premature atrial contractions in 3 patients (1.62%); sinus bradycardia in 2 patients (1.1%); complete heart block in 1 patient and a prolonged QT interval with severe hypokalemia, ((0.54%) for each. Conclusion: Arrhythmias are common in children with CHD, and early diagnosis and regular follow-up have significant benefits in management. Cardiac surgery, heart failure, digoxin, and electrolyte disturbances were confirmed as risk factors.

Published: February 2021

This report outlines the current state of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (defined as preferring to delay vaccination) and resistance (defined as not wanting to take the vaccine at any point), as well as the results from two experiments designed to test strategies for increasing Americans’ willingness to take the vaccine when it’s available to them. We evaluate the results of two experiments testing different communication strategies to increase people’s willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Key findings are that a variety of messages are effective for reducing vaccine hesitancy and resistance, while messengers are less effective and − in the case of partisan messengers − have the potential to increase resistance among political out-groups. The most effective strategies evoked scientists and people’s own doctors as endorsers of vaccination. We found, also, that messages evoking harm reduction and “people you know” were more effective in counties where the virus is spreading more quickly.

Authors: Efremov Ljupcho , Petrusevska Aneta , Dimitrievska Vera , Simonovska Valentina
Published: February 2021

Introduction: Acne vulgaris is a disorder of the pilosebaceous units. It is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis notable for open/closed comedones, papules, pustules, nodules. It is characterized by open comedones, closed comedones and pustular nodules. Aim of study: To examine factors underlying the quality of life of people with acne. Materials and method: A total of 576 respondents were included in the study. Acne specific Quality of Life questionnaire was used for this purpose. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted, performed in private dermatological clinic as well as on-line. All analyses were conducted by using the SPSS.26 for Windows. Results and Discussion: 5.7 % were males and 94.3 percent were females. About 69.4% were aged between 15-25; 16.7 % between 26 to 30; 8.8% between 31 to 35 years old. Quality of life and emotional perception towards the social environment is demonstrated by the three components (self-perception of discomfort, functionality, and social factor). The reliability levels for the three components were .858 for self-perception of discomfort, .779 for functionality and .745 for the social factor. The factor analysis discovered three underlying factors: self-perception of discomfort, social factor and functionality in daily life. Conclusion: The findings confirm the general notion that people with acne have problems in quality of life and therefore special attention to psychological intervention should be given in the treatment of acne.
The COVID States Project #13: Public trust in institutions and vaccine acceptance

Controversy has erupted over the possible release of a COVID-19 vaccine prior to the November 3rd election, with President Trump hinting that a vaccine may be ready by October, while the CDC has instructed states to be prepared to distribute a vaccine at that time. These assertions have prompted a backlash from some public health experts, countering that this timeline is extremely improbable.Concerns over the possible politicization of emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a COVID-19 vaccine prior to the completion of phase 3 trials, in turn, has prompted the various pharmaceutical companies currently working on vaccines to prepare an unprecedented joint public statement that they will not submit a vaccine to the FDA for approval until they have compelling scientific proof that it is safe and effective. The political debate occurring against the backdrop of a presidential election raises concerns that many Americans may be unwilling to accept a vaccine because they do not trust the government or its agencies to prioritize safety and efficacy over politics.Meanwhile, Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris commented during a CNN interview on getting a COVID-19 vaccine prior to the election: “I would not trust Donald Trump.” She subsequently amended her statement, saying in part, "I would trust a vaccine if the public health professionals and the scientists told us that we can trust it." In this report, we explore the issue of public trust regarding the handling of COVID-19 across 15 institutions and individual leaders and its link to public willingness to be vaccinated if a vaccine becomes available.Specifically, we ask: “How much do you trust the following people and organizations to do the right thing to best handle the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak?” For this analysis, we assess the likelihood that a respondent reports trusting an institution or individual leader “somewhat” or “a lot.” We then consider how partisanship and race influence trust in these institutions as well as the extent to which trust is associated with self-reported intent to be vaccinated for COVID-19 or to have received a flu vaccination this past season. We address both the state of trust and vaccine acceptance in August, as well as trends over time.

Application of Uniformly Valid Shell Theory
Authors: Chung Samuel W , Ju Hyun-ho
Published: February 2021

For the purpose of demonstrating the applicability of the previously derived theories, the problem of a laminated circular cylindrical shell under internal pressure and edge loadings will be examined. The cylinder is assumed to consist of boron/epoxy composite layers. Each layer is taken to be homogeneous but anisotropic with an arbitrary orientation of the elastic axes. We need not consider the restriction of the symmetry of the layering due to the non-homogeneity considered in the original development of the theory expressed by the constitutive equations. Thus, each layer can possess a different thickness.
FUT4 is a differentially expressed gene in both lymph node and brain metastases in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that fucosyltransferase 4, encoded by FUT4, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. FUT4 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of FUT4 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient recurrence-free survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of FUT4 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain. These data are one piece of evidence suggesting a common ancestor or tumor clone for brain and lymph node metastases that originate from the primary tumor, alluding to patterns in developmental origin and migratory pathways through the lymph node in human brain metastatic breast cancer.

Published: February 2021

We present a variety of descriptive results on attitudes and beliefs regarding COVID-19 vaccines. We find a notable consensus across population subgroups regarding order of prioritization for receiving vaccines, which roughly aligns with current policies. We additionally find that while there are generally positive attitudes and beliefs regarding vaccines, there are also some negative attitudes and misbeliefs that are especially common within certain demographics (political independents and, to a lesser extent, Republicans; Black respondents; and individuals ages 25-44).The reported results are based on data collected from 24,682 people between December 16, 2020 and January 10, 2021. For these descriptive analyses, we apply survey weights using national benchmarks for race, gender, age, education, Census region, and urbanicity.
Are effect sizes reported in highly cited emotion research overestimated relative to larger studies and meta-analyses addressing the same questions?
Authors: Cristea Ioana , Ioannidis john , Georgescu Raluca
Published: February 2021

We assessed whether the most highly-cited studies in emotion research reported larger effect sizes compared to meta-analyses and the largest studies on the same question. We screened all reports with at least 1000 citations and identified matching meta-analyses for 40 highly-cited observational and 25 highly-cited experimental studies. Observational studies had effects greater on average by 1.42-fold (95% CI 1.09 to 1.87) versus meta-analyses and 1.99-fold (95% CI 1.33 to 2.99) versus largest studies on the same questions. Experimental studies had fold-increases of 1.29 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.63) versus meta-analyses and 2.02 (95% CI 1.60 to 2.57) versus largest studies. There was substantial between-topic heterogeneity, more prominently for observational studies. Highly-cited studies uncommonly (12/65 topics, 18%) had the largest weight in meta-analyses.

Background and purpose: Previous studies testing associations between polygenic risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD-PGR) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures have been limited by small samples and inconsistent consideration of potential confounders. This study investigates whether higher LOAD-PGR is associated with differences in structural brain imaging and cognitive values in a relatively large sample of non-demented, generally healthy adults (UK Biobank). Method: Summary statistics were used to create PGR scores for n=32,790 participants using LDpred. Outcomes included 12 structural MRI volumes and 6 concurrent cognitive measures. Models were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, genotyping chip, 8 principal components, lifetime smoking, apolipoprotein (APOE) e4 genotype and socioeconomic deprivation. We tested for statistical interactions between APOE e4 allele dose and LOAD-PGR vs. all outcomes. Results: In fully adjusted models, LOAD-PGR was associated with worse fluid intelligence (standardised beta [β] = -0.080 per LOAD-PGR standard deviation, p = 0.002), matrix completion (β = -0.102, p = 0.003), smaller left hippocampal total (β = -0.118, p = 0.002) and body (β = -0.069, p = 0.002) volumes, but not other hippocampal subdivisions. There were no significant APOE x LOAD-PGR score interactions for any outcomes in fully adjusted models. Discussion: This is the largest study to date investigating LOAD-PGR and non-demented structural brain MRI and cognition phenotypes. LOAD-PGR was associated with smaller hippocampal volumes and aspects of cognitive ability in healthy adults, and could supplement APOE status in risk stratification of cognitive impairment/LOAD.
The relationship between social identity and cognitive diversity in environmental stakeholders

Groups with higher cognitive diversity, i.e. variations in how people think and solve problems, are thought to demonstrate improved performance in complex problem-solving. However, embracing or even engineering adequate cognitive diversity is not straightforward and may even jeopardize social inclusion. In fact, those that want to promote cognitive diversity might make a simplified assumption that there exists a link between identity diversity, i.e. range of social characteristics, and variations in how people perceive and solve problems. If it holds true, incorporating diverse identities may concurrently satisfy desirable cognitive diversity while social inclusion is explicitly acknowledged. However, currently there is a lack of empirical evidence to support this hypothesis in the context of complex social-ecological systems—a system wherein human and environmental dimensions are interdependent, where common-pool resources are used or managed by multiple types of stakeholders. Using a fisheries example, we examine the relationship between resource stakeholders’ identities and their cognitive diversity. We used cognitive mapping techniques in conjunction with network analysis to measure cognitive distances within and between stakeholders of various social types (i.e. identities). Our results empirically show that groups with higher identity diversity also demonstrate more cognitive diversity, evidenced by disparate characteristics of their cognitive maps representing their understanding of the fishery dynamics. These findings have important implications for sustainable management of common-pool resources, where the inclusion of diverse stakeholders is routine, while our study shows it may also achieve higher cognitive coverage that can potentially lead to more complete, accurate, and innovative understanding of complex resource dynamics.
Reflective phenomenography: elaborating on the reflective practice framework for phenomenographic data analysis
Authors: Rotar Olga
Published: February 2021

Over the last two decades, one can notice a considerable turn to the reflective qualitative inquiry. However, in phenomenographic research design, the role and value of reflection are often neglected. This paper elaborates on the Reflective Practice Framework for phenomenographic method of data analysis developed as a result of undertaking an empirical phenomenographic research. The paper considers genealogy of the concept reflection and models for reflection in qualitative research to discuss the theoretical foundations of the proposed Framework. Two levels and five steps of the Framework are explained, and an example of how the Framework can advance analysis of unstructured phenomenographic data is provided.
Machine Learning methods for predicting conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s disease. A systematic review.

Published: February 2021

Increase in life-span in our society is a double-edged sword that entails a growing number of patients with neurocognitive disorders, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) being the most prevalent. Advances in medical imaging and computational power, enable new methods for early detection of neurocognitive disorders with the goal of preventing or reducing cognitive decline. Computer-aided image analysis and early detection of changes in cognition is a promising approach for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), sometimes a prodromal stage of AD. We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines of studies where Machine Learning was applied to neuroimaging data in order to predict the progression from MCI to AD. After removing duplicates, we screened 159 studies and selected 47 for a qualitative analysis. Most studies used MRI and PET data but also MEG. The datasets were mainly extracted from the ADNI database with some exceptions. Regarding the algorithms used, the most common were support vector machines, but more complex models such as Deep Learning, combined with multimodal and multidimensional data (neuroimage, clinical, cognitive, biological, and behavioral) achieved the best performance. Although performance of the different models still have room for improvement, the results are promising and this methodology has a great potential as a support tool for clinicians and healthcare professionals.
The CCP’s Development of Artificial Intelligence: Impact on Future Operations
Authors: Lu Shyi-Min
Published: February 2021

The development of artificial intelligence and related technologies has a potential serious impact on the industrial development and the military operations. The Chinese Communist Party has also classified this area as a key direction of the future development, hoping that in this new wave of military affairs innovation, under the absolute superiority of economic and military affairs, China could surpass the United States in one fell swoop, changing the world situation in which the United States is the only military superpower since the end of the Cold War. In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi Jinping clearly stated that it should accelerate the development of military intelligence and strengthen the joint combat capability of the network information system, including the R&D of the innovative weapons and equipment. As Xi Jinping took over the presidency of China in 2013, he initiated the "dream of strong army". In the future, artificial intelligence is bound to be an important part of the CCP's military modernization, and it is also a foresighted preparation for winning the next war. At present, most of the CCP’s research on military development in terms of artificial intelligence tends to be on hardware devices, such as automated combat vehicles, autonomous drones and remote-controlled submarines. These related technologies rely heavily on the mechanical engineering and traditional R&D. The CCP intends to combine the development of military science and technology with the advanced weapons as a means of "killer" conception for future regional wars against the United States and other major powers. In this concept, the Communist Army will carry out paralytic asymmetrical attacks to its potential enemies. In the past, the "killer" weapons may be the attack missiles that attack large ships, but now they may include a new generation of artificial intelligence weapons that use the big data, the Internet of Things, or the cloud computing. In the face of the development of the CCP’s artificial intelligence militarization, not only we must concern about its current major developments, but also have to analyze the motives behind it, so that we can make correct judgments in the future operations to block the CCP’s media campaign and arms deterrent. This is the focus worthy of our urgent attention.
