Influence of monetary information signals of the USA on the Ukrainian stock market
Authors: Pavlov Roman , Grynko Tetiana , Pavlova Tetiana , Levkovich Oksana , Pawliszczy Dariusz
Published: December 2020

The stronger the level of economic integration between countries, the greater the need to study the formation patterns of the stock market reaction to the financial information signals. This concerns the Ukrainian stock market, which is now in its infancy, and which reaction to financial information signals is sometimes ambiguous. The research aims to identify the formation patterns of return and volatility indicators of the Ukrainian stock market reaction to the US financial information signals. To assess the direct nature of US financial information signals effect on the PFTS stock index, the GARCH econometric modeling toolkit was applied. The research information base is the PFTS stock index and the Federal Reserve System financial information signals at the discount rate for 2000–2019. The fetch is divided into intervals corresponded to the ascent and decline phases of the financial cycle. It was found that an unforeseen increase in the discount rate at the financial cycle decline phase by 25 basis points decreases the PFTS stock index return, on average by 2.9%. Besides, the hypothesis about the general change stabilizing effect in the discount rate on the Ukrainian stock market volatility at the financial cycle growth phase was confirmed. Nevertheless, for investors, the most essential is the regulator’s monetary signals in the discount rate at the financial cycle decline phases rather than at the ascent phases because there is a more significant increase in the volatility level.

Authors: James Oyira, Emilia
Published: December 2020

This study sought to investigate the fear of susceptible to infectious disease experienced among the hospitalized patients in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital. Two research questions one hypothesis were used. Do hospitalized patients in University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar have fear of susceptibility to infectious disease? What support do hospitalized patients in University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar received from family. The hypothesis states that; there is no significant relationship between fear among hospitalized patients and the support they received from family members. Literature was reviewed based on the research variables. The research instrument used in collecting data for analysis was a questionnaire administered to one hundred (100) hospitalized patients in University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar. Their responses were analyzed using frequencies, percentages and Pearson product moment correlation analysis and the following results were obtained, Results in Table 3 indicated that 68(68%) of the respondents agreed that they have received a significant support from their family members during the period of their hospitalization while 32(32%) disagreed. 24(24%) said the financial support they received from family members was too minimal while 76(76%) said it was not. 78(78%) agreed that their family members frequently visited them while 22(22%) disagreed. The above data, therefore, showed that hospitalized patients in UCTH, Calabar received both moral and financial support from family members. In line with the views expressed by the patients. It was recommended that more nurses should be employed to help avoid contacting the communicable disease. This implies that, the nurses would be able to manage two patients at a time instead of taking care of a large number of patients.

CHEMICAL EVALUATION OF Araucaria columnaris CARBONIZED WOODS UNDER DIVERSE OXYGEN CONCENTRATIONS AS COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FOSSIL charcoal. In the face of environmental changes concerns, the study of climate change becomes essential to understand the life trajectory of planet earth. For this purpose, this work seeks to understand climate change and fluctuations in the amount of atmospheric oxygen across geological ages, carbonizing the Araucaria columnaris wood in varying oxygen concentrations, and comparing them to the fossil coal from Quiteria Outcrop. In this study, pyrolysis of Araucaria columnaris wood occurred with the use of TGA, under an atmosphere of 21% and 30% O2, analyzed in FTIR, distinguishing the constituent compounds of the wood. Multivariate analysis of the mains components (PCA) was applied, for data crossing. There is a distinction between carbonized wood and fossil charcoal, the charcoal burning temperature as well as the atmospheric oxygen composition being inconclusive. However, FTIR results indicate that the amount of oxygen has an influence on the degradation of the wood, and samples at 450 °C have greater similarities with fresh wood. Thus, it was observed that the temperature and the burning time are the main factors of the fires, being that the amount of oxygen available in the atmosphere influences the firing process.
Association of Metabolic Syndrome with the Number of Breastfed
Children in Postmenopausal Korean Women
Authors: Hwang Jeonghee , Chi Jeonghee
Published: December 2020

Background:

Metabolic syndrome is closely related to cardiovascular disease, and the prevalence of metabolic
syndrome in postmenopausal women is increasing rapidly.

Objective:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between the number of breastfed children and the risk
factors for metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women and to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and
bone mineral density and body composition variables in postmenopausal women depending on the number of breastfed
children.

Methods:

Data from KNHANES V-1 and 2 (2010-2011) were used, and a total of 939 PM women with 1 to 6 breastfed
children aged 65-80 years participated in this study. We divided these women into three groups (group1 with 1-2, group2
with 3-4, group3 with 5-6) depending on the number of breastfed children.

Result:

In analysis of the associations between metabolic syndrome and its risk factors, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
was the most negatively strongly associated with group1 (OR=0.103 [0.047-0.225]), triglyceride showed the highest
association with group2 (OR=7.760 [3.770-15.97]) and group3 (OR=7.668 [4.102-14.33]). The risk factors of metabolic
syndrome except for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride was not associated with group1, while all risk
factors of metabolic syndrome displayed a high association with group2 and group3.

Conclusion:

The findings of the present study suggest that the number of breastfed children is significantly associated with
a greater number of risk factors of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women, and the association between metabolic
syndrome and body composition variables may differ depending on the number of breastfed children.

Authors: Rahimi Roja , Nikfar Shekoufeh , Sadeghi Masoud , Abdollahi Mohammad , Moghaddam Reza H. , Farzaei Mohammad H.
Published: December 2020

Background:

It has been found that there is a link between hypertension and elevated
risk of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Herein, a meta-analysis based on Randomized Clinical Trials
(RCTs) was used to assess the effect of antihypertensive drugs on cognition and behavioral symptoms
of AD patients.

Methods:

The three databases, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane Library, were searched up
to March 2020. The quality of the studies included in the meta-analysis was evaluated by the Jadad
score. Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) included in two studies, Mini-Mental State
Examination (MMSE) included in three studies, and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) in three
studies were the main outcomes in this systematic review.

Results:

Out of 1506 studies retrieved in the databases, 5 RCTs were included and analyzed in the
meta-analysis. The pooled mean differences of CGIC, MMSE, and NPI in patients with AD receiving
antihypertensive drugs compared to placebo were -1.76 with (95% CI = -2.66 to -0.86;
P=0.0001), 0.74 (95% CI = 0.20 to 1.28; P= 0.007), and -9.49 (95% CI = -19.76 to 0.79; P = 0.07),
respectively.

Conclusion:

The findings of the present meta-analysis show that antihypertensive drugs may improve
cognition and behavioral symptoms of patients with AD. However, more well-designed
RCTs with similar drugs are needed to achieve more conclusive results.

Impact of a Coronavirus Epidemic on China’s Public Debt Ratio Growth
Authors: Török László
Published: December 2020

Public opinion in the economic profession is strongly preoccupied with the expected negative economic effects of the coronavirus epidemic. Among the consequences, special attention is paid to the increase in the gross debt of the states. Indeed, based on conventional economic knowledge, it is clear to everyone that the economic downturn and the increase in government sector expenditure will directly lead to a sharp rise in government debt. The study aims to predict an increase in China’s government debt ratio using a macroeconomic model. The study will quantify the rate of increase in China’s public debt based on four theoretically possible scenarios for the course of the coronavirus epidemic. I am aware that it is difficult to apply conventional economic knowledge to China’s state-capitalist system. This is explained by the fact that the theories of the socialist economic model do not apply to China either. At the same time, the functioning of China's economy is closer to that of market-based economies, but the country's structure as a whole cannot be integrated into this framework either. But models describing the economic development of developing national economies cannot be applied to the country either. Nonetheless, I attempt to use conventional economic economics to attempt to quantify the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on China’s sovereign debt ratio. China’s public debt growth rates calculated under different outbreak scenarios are different, but none show an increase that would call into question the financing of China’s public debt.

Semipalatinsk above-ground nuclear tests caused atmospheric fallout and radioactive contam-ination of the environment that resulted in the synthesis of great amount of radioisotopes. Triti-um was the basic isotope generated in the soil as a result of above-ground nuclear tests. Previ-ously many researchers believed that tritium contamination of the soil occurred in sites for un-derground nuclear tests only. The research of tritium content in areas for above-ground nuclear tests was not taken into consideration. However, during the work in the site for above-ground tests “Experimental Field”, we examined the tritium content in soil and numerically estimated the specific activity of 3H. Because the radioisotope may be produced from the following activa-tion reactions while nuclear explosions: 6Li3 + n → 4He2 + 3Н; 10B5 + n → 24He2 + 3Н; 14N + n → 12C + 3Н, as well as 151Eu63 + n → 152Eu63 , we selected soil samples to test for 3H, as well as for 152Eu. Then analysis results were compared for establishing relationship between the isotopes and investigating the mechanism of 3H production. The article presents results of detailed study of soil contaminated with tritium in the “Experimental Field” site. 3H content in soil and the iso-tope distribution in epicenter zones of technical sites and in sites located in different distance from the epicenter are presented. Correlated dependence of the 3Н content on the 152Eu content that allowed us to discover the basic mechanism of the tritium production, that was a neutron-activation reaction occurred at the time of above-ground nuclear tests.
Theoretical investigation of the single and double ionization spectra of M(CO)6, M=W

Published: December 2020

In this work, we study the single and double ionization spectra of the M(CO)6,with M =( W and Cr ) complexes by applying the four-component algebraic diagrammatic construction and Fock-space coupled cluster methods to extend earlier studies based on less demanding approaches. The computed single and double ionization potentials are in good agreement comparing with the available experimental results. The electronic structures of the cationic molecular systems are carefully investigated by computing accurately single and double ionization potentials. The final state characterization is relied on group theoretical considerations of the contributing orbitals and allowed for a clear assignment. Energy level diagrams show the effect of spin-orbit (SO) coupling starting from scalar relativistic results and for the heavy representative M(CO)6 with M =( W and Cr ) nonadditivity effects of the SO and electron correlation can be observed requiring a consistent treatment of both contributions.
Biological, Chemical, and Nutritional Food Risks and Food Safety Issues From Italian Online Information Sources: Web Monitoring, Content Analysis, and Data Visualization
Authors: Tiozzo Barbara , Ruzza Mirko , Rizzoli Valentina , D'Este Laura , Giaretta Mosè , Ravarotto Licia
Published: December 2020

Background

With rapid evolution of the internet and web 2.0 apps, online sources have become one of the main channels for most people to seek food risk information. Thus, it would be compelling to analyze the coverage of online information sources related to biological, chemical, and nutritional food risks, and related safety issues, to understand the type of content that online readers are exposed to, possibly influencing their perceptions.

Objective

The aim of this study was to identify the types of online sources that are predominantly covering this theme, and the topics that have received the most attention in terms of coverage and engagement on social media.

Methods

We performed an analysis of big data related to food risks by combining web monitoring techniques, content analysis, and data visualization of a large amount of unstructured text. Using a dictionary-based approach, a web monitoring app was instructed to automatically collect web content referring to the food risk and safety field. Data were retrieved from March 2017 to February 2018. The validated corpus (N=12,163) was subject to automatic and manual content analysis. Results were combined with descriptive statistics extracted from Web-Live and processed with Qlik Sense.

Results

Nutritional risks and news about outbreaks, controls, and alerts were the most widely covered topics. Thematic sources devoted major attention to nutritional topics, whereas national sources covered food risks, especially during food emergencies. Regarding engagement on social media, readers’ interest was higher for nutritional topics and animal welfare. Although traditional sources still publish a great amount of content related to food risks and safety, new mediators have emerged as alternative sources for food risk information.

Conclusions

This mixed methodological approach was demonstrated to be a useful means for obtaining an accurate characterization of the online discourse on food risks, and can provide insight into how the monitored sources contribute to the process of risk communication.
Health Care Professionals’ Experience of a Digital Tool for Patient Exchange, Anamnesis, and Triage in Primary Care: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Eldh Ann Catrine , Sverker Annette , Bendtsen Preben , Nilsson Evalill
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND

Despite a growing body of knowledge about eHealth innovations, there is still limited understanding of the implementation of such tools in everyday primary care.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to describe health care staff’s experience with a digital communication system intended for patient-staff encounters via a digital route in primary care.

METHODS

In this qualitative study we conducted 21 individual interviews with staff at 5 primary care centers in Sweden that had used a digital communication system for 6 months. The interviews were guided by narrative queries, transcribed verbatim, and subjected to content analysis.

RESULTS

While the digital communication system was easy to grasp, it was nevertheless complex to use, affecting both staffing and routines for communicating with patients, and documenting contacts. Templates strengthened equivalent procedures for patients but dictated a certain level of health and digital literacy for accuracy. Although patients expected a chat to be synchronous, asynchronous communication was extended over time. The system for digital communication benefited assessments and enabled more efficient use of resources, such as staff. On the other hand, telephone contact was faster and better for certain purposes, especially when the patient’s voice itself provided data. However, many primary care patients, particularly younger ones, expected digital routes for contact. To match preferences for communicating to a place and time that suited patients was significant; staff were willing to accept some nuisance from a suboptimal service—at least for a while—if it procured patient satisfaction. A team effort, including engaged managers, scaffolded the implementation process, whereas being subjected to a trial without likely success erected barriers.

CONCLUSIONS

A digital communication system introduced in regular primary care involved complexity beyond merely learning how to manage the tool. Rather, it affected routines and required that both the team and the context were addressed. Further knowledge is needed about what factors facilitate implementation, and how. This study suggested including ethical perspectives on eHealth tools, providing an important but novel aspect of implementation.
Efficacy of toothbrushing via a 3D motion tracking system for dental plaque control in schoolchildren: Randomized controlled trials (Preprint)
Authors: Jeong Jin-Sun , Kim Kee-Deog , Kim Kyeong-Seop , Lee Jeong-Whan , Park Wonse
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND

Schoolchildren are in a developmental period whose permanent teeth replace primary dentition. It is also a period with a high incidence of gingivitis and caries, which can be improved with correct tooth brushing. Advances in information technology have led to the development of smart health devices that assist in tooth brushing.

OBJECTIVE

To compare the effectiveness of computer-assisted toothbrushing using a toothbrushing instruction (TBI) method called the smart toothbrush and smart mirror (STM) system with that of conventional TBI for plaque control in schoolchildren.

METHODS

This randomized controlled clinical trials analyzed and compared the reduction of the modified Quigley-Hein plaque index between the two methods in 42 schoolchildren. The participants were randomly assigned to an STM system group (n=21) or a conventional-TBI group (n=21). The plaque indexes were evaluated at baseline, immediately after TBI (day 0), and 1 week and 1 month after TBI.

RESULTS

The STM system and conventional TBI led to an average reduction of 40.50% and 40.57%, respectively, in whole mouth plaque. Reductions in the plaque indexes in each time period tested were observed in both groups (P<.001), and the mean plaque reduction did not differ between the two groups (P=.42). Non-inferiority was validated in the STM system for a limited time (immediately and 1 week) after TBI.

CONCLUSIONS

The computer-assisted STM system showed a similar efficacy for dental plaque control in children compared with conventional TBI. The STM system may be beneficial for maintaining oral hygiene by improving tooth brushing ability.

The most widely used methods to measure the relative living conditions of the population (CRVs) (e.g. marginalization, poverty, social deprivation, human development), have been the basis for the design of social policies in Mexico and several Latin American countries. These predominant methods exclude the active role of space as a distributor and redistributor of welfare opportuni-ties derived from strategic public services located in specific points in the territory (e.g. education and health services). They omit the basic fact that the supply and demand of these services must usually interact in the territory to generate benefits. As if the CRVs were molded in a non-place(Campos, 2009). The Spatial Justice paradigm incorporates space as a key redistributive agent of resources and opportunities among society (Soja, 2014). This work has the following objectives: i) Propose, from the paradigm of Space Justice, a method of measuring CRVs that authentica-lly and operationally incorporates the spatial dimension; and, ii) demonstrate the conceptual, analytical and applied superiority of our Socio-spatial method to measure the CRVs, with respect to traditional Non-Spatial methods.

The early childbearing constitute a serious social problem and affect the development of adoles-cents, their health and the survival of their sons and daughters. There is a strong linkage between poverty and pregnancy at an early age, as this is more frequent among poor young women. A detailed analysis of this phenomenon in Mauritania allows us to perceive notable geographical differences related with these reproductive patterns within the country. Therefore this paper aims to inquire into the geo-demographic and socio-demographic factors conditioning the early child-bearing in Mauritania, to provide some reflections regarding the environments that must be taken into account to develop intervention programs that reduce their incidence.

Published: December 2020

El carbono y el nitrógeno de la biomasa microbiana (CBM y NBM) del suelo son bioindicadores que tienen el potencial de mostrar cambios en el suelo de los ecosistemas, y están condicionados por la humedad disponible en el suelo. Se evaluó como varían CBM, NBM y la respiración heterotrófica (RH) en función de la cantidad de humedad en suelos de la Estepa Magallánica Seca de Santa Cruz, Argentina. El ensayo consistió en 3 tratamientos: a) Control, conteniendo la precipitación normal caída, como testigo, b) Riego, equivalente a un aumento del 54% en las precipitaciones respecto a la media anual, y c) Sequía, con una disminución del 54% en las precipitaciones respecto a la media anual. Se estimó el CBM mediante el método de fumigación-extracción. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en el CBM entre los tratamientos, el riego obtuvo la mayor cantidad de CBM. Los valores fueron: 505,3 (±81,4), 406,7(±39,2) y 380,4 (±98,4) µg de C g-1 para riego, sequía y control, respectivamente. No se encontraron diferencias en el NBM entre los tratamientos, siendo los valores 93,3 (±13,5), 82,8 (±68,9) y 80,7 (±31,1) µg de N g-1 de suelo seco para sequía, control y riego, respectivamente. La RH diaria por su parte, presentó valores de 13,04 (±3,32), 11,17 (±1,47) y 10,60 (±1,29) mg C-CO2Kg-1 de suelo seco día-1 para el tratamiento control, riego y sequía, respectivamente. Solo el CBM evidenció un cambio relevante frente a la sequía, las demás variables no presentaron diferencias significativas. Los resultados denotan que la humedad es un factor importante para el C en BM, por lo que es importante seguir monitoreando y establecer como cambios en la precipitación alterar la biomasa microbiana en estos ambientes australes.

Incluye tanto datos descriptivos como conclusiones y recomendaciones de lo que serían las metas deseables para integrar la educación a la dinámica del desarrollo planeado de una región.

Otros estudios similares, complementan los diferentes aspectos del desarrollo de las comunidades, y sirven para los seminarios de estudio del Instituto Colombiano de Antropología.
Nuevas observaciones sobre los waunana del Chocó
Authors: Lucena Salmoral Manuel
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo contiene una serie de observaciones que el autor pudo hacer durante un rápido viaje a Noanamá, donde se habían congregado gran número de indígenas Waunana para la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de la Merced, así como unas informaciones valiosas facilitadas por una religiosa de la misión católica de dicho pueblo, Hermana María Nardina de la Fe, de la Congregación de las Misioneras de la Madre Laura, persona de gran inteligencia y que sin conocimientos científicos especializados ha luchado, al igual que centenares de religiosos colombianos, por conocer el cuadro antropológico-cultural, y aun la misma lengua, de los indígenas con quienes convive.

El hecho de que este viaje a Noanamá tuviera más finalidad lingüística que antropológica y la brevedad del mismo, ha motivado que no se haya realizado un estudio sistemático, considerando el actual como unas apuntaciones al excelente artículo titulado "Notas etnográficas sobre los indios del Chocó", publicado en esta misma revista en el año de 1960 y del que es autor G. Reichel-Dolmatoff.

Todas las anotaciones que a continuación se exponen se refieren exclusivamente al grupo chocoano Waunana, que ocupa la parte baja, a ambas riberas del río San Juan y la costa el Pacífico comprendida entre la desembocadura del río Baudó y poco más abajo de las bocas del San Juan. Es posible que se pueda hacer lo mismo respecto de otros grupos Chocó, pero el autor no tiene datos comparativos para tal menester.

Contribuciones a la etnografía de los indios del Chocó
Authors: Reichel-Dolmatoff Gerardo
Published: December 2020

En el volumen IX de esta misma revista, publiqué un artículo que resumía las observaciones etnográficas que hice en el Departamento del Chocó, con ocasión de un programa de investigaciones arqueológicas (Reichel-Dolmatoff, 1961). Desde entonces he tenido en dos ocasiones la oportunidad de volver a la Costa Pacífica y de recorrer toda su extensión, desde la frontera con Panamá hasta la del Ecuador, durante un total de ocho meses. Estas exploraciones, tal como la efectuada en 1960 en los ríos San Juan y Baudó, formaron parte del programa arqueológico del Institute of Andean Research, patrocinado por la National Science Foundation, de Washington, y tuvieron como objetivo principal la investigación sistemática de los yacimientos arqueológicos de la Costa Pacífica de Colombia. Los datos etnográficos recogidos durante estos tres viajes, no forman pues un estudio detallado de los indígenas actuales de esa región, sino representan apenas una serie de observaciones casuales que tuve la ocasión de hacer cuando efectué mis investigaciones arqueológicas en territorio indígena. El artículo arriba mencionado se basó en datos obtenidos durante los primeros cuatro meses de 1960, entre los indios Noanamá y Emberá de los ríos San Juan y Baudó; en el presente quiero añadir algunas observaciones adicionales hechas en los años de 1961 y 1962, cuando visité la costa al norte de Cabo Corrientes y al sur de Buenaventura.

ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS: APLICAÇÃO DE SEQUÊNCIA DIDÁTICA NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: Lopes Dutra Dias Lis Rejane , Oliveira Alexandre Lopes
Published: December 2020

As mudanças na Realidade Educacional Brasileira não são suficientes para satisfazer o preenchimento de lacunas geradas na formação inicial ou continuada de professores. Pensando nisto, o presente trabalho foi desenvolvido em uma escola pública municipal da Baixada Fluminense (RJ), aplicando sequência didática como ferramenta e com o objetivo de auxiliar o processo de ensino, facilitando-o e ajudando a suprir lacunas de formação, foram propostas atividades práticas com materiais de fácil acesso. Revisamos documentos norteadores do Rio de Janeiro para formação de professores para propor a sequência didática. Como resultados, obtivemos maior concentração das crianças para desenvolvimento das atividades e efeitos positivos na aprendizagem, observados através das articulações interdisciplinares que as próprias crianças efetuaram. Foram realizadas aulas temáticas em turmas do primeiro ao quinto ano de escolaridade com os temas trocas de temperaturas, plantas, animais e higiene e reciclagem. As aulas foram aplicadas em conjunto com os professores das turmas.Utilizamos como base teórica os estudos de David Paul Ausubel.
ENTRE A DIVULGAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA E O ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS: UMA PERSPECTIVA A PARTIR DOS PROFESSORES DA SALA DE CIÊNCIAS DO SERVIÇO SOCIAL DO COMÉRCIO/MANAUS-AM
Authors: Oliveira Kelly Caroline , Maciel-Cabral Hiléia Monteiro , Silva Cirlande Cabral da
Published: December 2020

A escola, embora tenha um papel importante na construção do conhecimento científico, sozinha não consegue alfabetizar cientificamente seus alunos. A Divulgação Científica vai além do ensino tradicional, possibilitando a transformação do aluno em um indivíduo  alfabetizado  cientificamente  nos  temas  que  englobam  ciência  e  tecnologia,  áreas do conhecimento tão comuns nos dias de hoje. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi conhecer a percepção das professoras que atuam na Sala de Ciências do Serviço Social do Comércio/Manaus-AM  a respeito da divulgação científica e sua relação com o ensino de ciências. Os métodos de coleta de dados utilizados foram questionário, observação e entrevista, aplicados às três professoras que atuam naquele local. Sob a perspectiva das professoras buscou-se compreender a complexa relação entre DC e Ensino de Ciências investigando possíveis relações existentes, com ênfase nos benefícios para aprendizagem. As contribuições da DC para o ensino de Ciências, na visão das professoras, alcançam os estudantes principalmente no despertar de sua motivação trabalhando conteúdos significativos, além do enriquecimento pedagógico estabelecendo condições para aulas mais dialogadas nesses espaços diversificados (Sala de Ciências). Por fim, espera-se que professores e divulgadores científicos apropriem-se das relações entre estes contextos educacionais (como a Sala de Ciências) para pensarem suas práticas sem limitar-se às características epistemológicas e metodológicas enraizadas de seus respectivos campos de atuação, mas tendo consciência das possibilidades e potencialidades que esses locais apresentam para a DC e o ensino de Ciências.
Sustaining supply chain relationships for co-operative success: the case of South Devon Organic Producers Co-operative (UK)
Authors: Bailey Adrian R. , Fu Jia , Dong Hao , Martins Tomas Sparano
Published: December 2020

Co-operatives play a vital role in supplying various goods and services in the UK, as well as in other parts of the world. In the past twenty years co-operatives have become important players in modern organic food supply chains, providing small-scale farmers with access to knowledge and markets, alongside opportunities to scale up their production. This teaching case is developed from qualitative interviews with current and former members and employees from the South Devon Organic Producers (SDOP) Co-operative, an award-winning organic vegetable grower co-operative based in South Devon (UK). The case is supplemented with interviews with key managerial personnel at the SDOP’s main stakeholder Riverford Organic Farms Limited. The case explores how the relationship between SDOP and Riverford is the key to understanding SDOP’s participation in the organic food chain.
Does higher market power necessarily reduce efficiency? Evidence from Chinese rice processing enterprises
Authors: Dai Jiawu , Feng Yuchen , Wang Xiuqing , Yuan Guang
Published: December 2020

This study evaluates the market power and cost efficiency of China’s rice processing firms through a stochastic frontier cost function. The effect of market power on cost efficiency is tested using the two-stage ordinary least squares method and a Hausman-Taylor type instrumental variable. On average, firms in the industry have weak market power but high cost efficiency, which has been declining since the 2008 global financial crisis. Firms with stronger market power exhibit higher cost efficiency, contradicting the quiet life hypothesis. This effect is more significant for firms with weaker market power after the global financial crisis. The enhancement of market power may help save resources for improving management and efficiency for Chinese rice processing industry.
Pulmonary barotrauma: assessment and investigation in divers
Authors:   North West Congenital Heart Disease Partnership, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, Liverpool UK, Ashrafi Reza , Turner Mark ,   Bristol Congenital Cardiac Centre, Bristol Royal Infirmary, Bristol UK
Published: December 2020

Decompression illness (DCI) is an uncommon problem but can be significant in terms of morbidity and, very rarely, mortality. The mechanisms of DCI are pulmonary barotrauma and decompression sickness due to inert gas supersaturation. After the initial management phase, identification of predisposing factors is important to help advise divers regarding future risk and avoidance. Here we present four cases of DCI where pulmonary barotrauma was the likely causative mechanism. We highlight the important features in assessment for pulmonary barotrauma and advising divers on the risk of a recurrence.

We present the case of a 42-year-old female who was critically ill due to an arterial gas embolism (AGE) she experienced while diving in Maui, Hawaii. She presented with shortness of breath and dizziness shortly after surfacing from a scuba dive and then rapidly lost consciousness. The diver then had a complicated hospital course: persistent hypoxemia (likely secondary to aspiration) requiring intubation; markedly elevated creatine kinase; atrial fibrillation requiring cardioversion; and slow neurologic improvement. She had encountered significant delay in treatment due to lack of availability of local hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy. Our case illustrates many of the complications that can occur when a patient suffers a severe AGE. These cases may occur even without a history of rapid ascent or risk factors for pulmonary barotrauma, and it is imperative that they be recognized and treated as quickly as possible with HBO2. Unfortunately, our case also highlights the challenges in treating critically ill divers, particularly with the growing shortage of 24/7 hyperbaric chambers able to treat these ICU-level patients.
