Attitudes towards telemedicine in pregnancy monitoring: A questionnaire survey among health care professionals in Germany (Preprint)
Authors: Grassl Niklas , Nees Juliane , Schramm Katharina , Spratte Julia , Sohn Christof , Schott Timm C , Schott Sarah
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Pregnant women have a high demand for fetal monitoring and reassurance. Consequently, they use a variety of health applications in pregnancy and tend to visit emergency departments for objectively non-urgent consults. However, the potential of electronic Health (eHealth) and mobile Health (mHealth) solutions is clinically hardly used to prevent non-urgent emergency consultations. To implement modern care solutions a better understanding of the attitudes, fears and hopes of health care professionals towards eHealth and mHealth is needed.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes of health care professionals in obstetrics towards telemedicine.

METHODS

A quantitative web based survey among health care professionals in Germany was conducted. The participants included nurses, midwives and physicians of all age groups and job positions working in hospitals with various level of care. The questionnaire comprised 24 questions capturing study population characteristics, views about emergency consultations in obstetrics, attitude towards telemedicine, job satisfaction and sleeping behavior.

RESULTS

244 health care professionals participated in the online survey. In general, health care professionals are skeptical (72.9%; n=170) about the use of telemedicine in obstetrics, however, 55.8% (n=130) recognize its potential. Physicians are optimistic with 72% (n=62) considering the use of applications (apps) for pregnancy monitoring reasonable by contrast to just 36% (n=47) of non-physicians (P<.001). Significantly more non-physicians reject such developments categorically, 58% (n=75) compared to 27% (n=24) of physicians (P<.001). We also found, that obstetricians with more than ten years of work-experiences are more skeptical. 49% (n=18) of them believe that telemedicine could reduce non-urgent emergency consultations compared to 73.2% (n=106) among obstetricians with less than 5 years of experience (P=.006).
Our survey revealed a high job satisfaction among health care professionals in obstetrics and a prevalence of regular sleeping problems of 46% (n=91). Surprisingly, both job satisfaction and sleeping problems were independent from the number of night shifts served per month (P=.77 and P=.99 respectively). Yet, 56.6% (n=112) of the survey participants thought they would be happier in their job if they had to work fewer night shifts per month.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study reveals an ambivalent attitude towards telemedicine among health care professionals in obstetrics. Efforts to promote the use of telemedicine should concentrate on nurses and midwives since this group is most skeptical about it in Germany. By contrast, particularly young physicians recognize the potential of apps for patient care and would like to use such technology in pregnancy monitoring.
Producción agrícola y despojo de la naturaleza en la fase actual de la acumulación capitalista
Authors: Elkisch Martínez Mariana
Published: February 2018

El artículo analiza los cambios registrados en el ámbito agroalimentario mundial luego de la inflexión neoliberal. A partir de la dinámica de discriminación de precios o dumping y, posteriormente, de la especulación financiera, concretamente el boom de las actividades en los mercados de futuros de materias primas, así como la producción a gran escala de agrocombustibles, se analizan las principales características y consecuencias de dichos ajustes, en especial su impacto en América Latina y el Caribe, tales como el dominio de la agroindustria multinacional, la desestructuración de las unidades campesinas, la migración campo–urbe, la reconversión productiva, la pérdida (relativa o absoluta) de la soberanía alimentaria y la profundización de la pobreza general.

STRUCTURE SHIFT IN INDONESIAN – ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Authors: Subagia I Ketut , Mahayana I Made Astu
Published: February 2018

Structure shift is one of the problems in translations. This problem is important to be dealt with because it is the most frequent category occurring at all rank in translation. Besides, in grammar structure shift can occur at all ranks. The discussion about structure shift only covers structure shift in phrase, clause, and sentence level. This research used the translation theory proposed by J.C. Catford (1965). He states that shift is departure from formal correspondence in the process of going form the SL to the TL. He also states that there are two kinds of shift in translating, namely level-shift and category-shift. Category shift means the change of formal structure of the SL, in process of translating into the TL. The data source is taken from four bilingual folklores. Data collecting used observation method and descriptive method was employed in analyzing the data. The findings show that in phrase level structure shift found only in noun and adjective phrase. The shifts in noun phrase are: H PostM PostM into PreM PreM H, H PostM into PreM H, and PreM H PostM Post M, into PreM PreM PreM H. In adjective phrase structure shift is found only one i.e. PreM H into H PostM. The structure shift in clause level is: SC into SVC, SV into SVA, and SV into SVO. In sentence level structure shift occur from simple sentence in SL into simple sentence in TL, simple sentence in SL into complex sentence in TL, complex sentence in SL into simple sentence in TL, and complec sentence in SL into complex sentence in TL.

Published: February 2018

Introduction. Anthropozoonoses are diseases that affect humans and animals
and they can be transmitted naturally from animals to humans. The aim of this
study was to identify characteristics and types of occupational hazards that
lead to occupational anthropozoonoses, determine their incidence in economic
activities of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Material and Methods.
Using a descriptive, epidemiological study we analysed the occupational
anthropozoonoses occurring in the Vojvodina which were registered at the
Institute of Occupational Health Novi Sad, Serbia, from 1992 to 2016.
Results. In the observed period, a total of 481 occupational diseases were
identified, out of which 62 (12.9%) cases were the occupational infectious
diseases. A total of 19 cases of occupational anthropozoonoses were
registered. The average annual incidence of occupational anthropozoonoses was
0.96 per 100,000 employees. The linear trend of annual incidence was
neg?ative. The average age was 44.05?8.34 years. Male patients accounted for
73.7% of cases. The average length of service among patients was 19.63?8.2
years. Conclusion. In addition to the implementation of available specific
immunization measures and personal protection measures that prevent contact
with pathogens, it is important to continuously educate workers concerning
the work?place risks and perform preventive medical examinations in order to
enable early recognition and treatment of the disease. In addition,
continuous education of medical practitioners of different specialities would
help to better identify occupational anthropozoonoses.

Se propone una ampliación del concepto de magnitud escalar para incluir aquello que puede ser poseído en un grado por los objetos y que no es aditivo. Tal ocurre con la propiedad ‘grande’ o con la medida de ‘posibilidad’, que es sub-aditiva. Se identifican los conceptos borrosos como magnitudes escalares, se muestra el carácter plural de su medida que no es única y se obtiene por criterios contextuales de diseño. Por último, se alude a las medidas de borrosidad de De Luca y Termini como magnitudes escalares que parten de la relación ‘menos borroso que’.
THE POSSIBILITIES OF DISJUNCTION IN THE MENTAL MODELS THEORY
Authors: Astorga Miguel López
Published: February 2018

Baratgin and colleagues have questioned certain aspects of the mental models theory related to disjunction. It is truth that, from this last theory, the paper authored by Baratgin et al. (2015) has already been responded. However, I try to further develop that response here by insisting in two important points of the theory: the role that modulation plays in it and the clear differences between its framework and standard logic. In this way, my main aim is to support to a larger extent, by means of theoretical arguments based on its general approach, the idea that the objections presented in the mentioned paper do not really impact the mental models theory.
ESTUDIO DESDE LA FILOSOFÍA DE LA ECOLOGÍA DE LA NOCIÓN DE IMPACTO AMBIENTAL: RELACIÓN ENTRE LOS SABERES QUE LA CONFORMAN Y SUS CONSECUENCIAS EPISTÉMICAS

Debido a los dramáticos cambios ambientales que se han generado en el marco del capitalismo en general y de su fase neoliberal en particular, se han generado herramientas que permitan mensurar de alguna manera los efectos de dichos cambios, así como evaluar y/o mitigar sus consecuencias. En este trabajo abordamos, desde la perspectiva de la filosofía de la ecología, algunos aspectos problemáticos relativos a las nociones de impacto ambiental (IA) y de evaluación del impacto ambiental (EIA): su conceptualización, cuáles son los campos de conocimiento involucrados y cómo es el vínculo entre ellos, a partir del análisis de la bibliografía especializada y leyes nacionales e internacionales. Finalmente, a partir del recorrido realizado, analizamos algunas de sus principales consecuencias.
DOCENCIA E INVESTIGACIÓN EN LA UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE SAN JUAN (1994-2015): impacto del programa de incentivos a docentes-investigadores y la carrera del investigador científico del CONICET
Authors: Soria Victor Hugo Algañaraz , Castillo Gonzalo Miguel
Published: February 2018

A partir de un cruce analítico entre la perspectiva histórico-estructural latinoamericana y la reflexividad bourdiana, éste artículo procura caracterizar el cuerpo docente en la Universidad Nacional de San Juan (UNSJ) tomando como eje de análisis el impacto de dos de los instrumentos de promoción de la investigación más importantes en la historia del campo científico-universitario nacional: el “Programa de Incentivos a Docentes Investigadores” (PROINCE) y la “Carrera del Investigador Científico” (CIC) del CONICET. El estudio comprende una primera etapa que va desde mediados de los años ´90 hasta la crisis nacional-global del 2001-2002, periodo en que gran parte del cuerpo docente se reconvirtió a las actividades científicas por efecto del PROINCE; y una segunda etapa, que va desde 2003 a 2015 cuando la institución evidenció un progresivo incremento de la cantidad de investigadores del CONICET. Partiendo del análisis de la bibliografía especializada disponible y el examen de una gran base de datos –que comprende al universo completo de sanjuaninos que integran la CIC y/o están categorizados en el PROINCE–, el trabajo avanzará articulando dos accesos metodológicos: uno de tipo “socio-histórico” anclado en la exploración de fuentes documentales; y otro de carácter “etnográfico” centrado en la recuperación del “testimonio” de actores claves de la institución: políticos, funcionarios de la universidad y docentes-investigadores. Entre los hallazgos más importantes, el artículo muestra que si bien la universidad fue consolidando en décadas recientes la labor de investigación como una opción profesional válida, ésta misma lógica alentó también procesos de asimetría entre disciplinas y unidades de investigación al tiempo que profundizó dinámicas diferenciadoras entre los mismos docentes-investigadores. Analizar el impacto de ambos programas en la UNSJ, evidenció la permeabilidad de su autonomía universitaria frente a las políticas científicas digitadas por los gobiernos de turno, a la vez que develó el impacto heterogéneo que los mismos tuvieron hacia el interior de la institución. En efecto, aunque de gran importancia el crecimiento exponencial del número de sus docentes-investigadores, no se ponderaron áreas de vacancia, ni fortaleció la investigación en las disciplinas menos desarrolladas.

Aims

Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are a recognized alternative to stents for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR), and there is some initial clinical evidence about their efficacy for the treatment of small coronary vessels. Newer-generation DCBs were developed to overcome the reduced deliverability of the previous generation, also warranting a more effective drug delivery to vessel wall. However, the vast majority of new-generation DCBs still lack of reliability due to paucity of clinical data.

Methods

Between 2012 and 2015, all patients treated with Elutax SV DCB (Aachen Resonance, Germany) at nine Italian centers were enrolled in this retrospective registry. Primary outcome was the occurrence of target-lesion revascularization (TLR) at the longest available follow-up. Secondary endpoints were procedural success and occurrence of device-oriented adverse cardiovascular events including cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction, stroke, and TLR. A minimum 6-month clinical follow-up was required.

Results

We enrolled 544 consecutive patients treated at 583 sites. Fifty-three per cent of the patients had ISR, and the rest native vessel coronary artery disease. Procedural success occurred in 97.5%. At the longest available clinical follow-up (average 13.3 ± 7.4 months), 5.9% of the patients suffered a TLR and 7.1% a device-oriented adverse cardiovascular event. We did not register cases of target-vessel abrupt occlusion. At multivariate analysis, severe calcification at the lesion site was the first determinant for the occurrence of TLR.

Conclusion

This registry on the performance of a new-generation DCB shows an adequate profile of safety and efficacy at mid-term clinical follow-up.
Cryoballoon vs. radiofrequency contact force ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: a propensity score analysis
Authors: Matta Mario , Anselmino Matteo , Ferraris Federico , Scaglione Marco , Gaita Fiorenzo
Published: February 2018

Background

Radiofrequency and cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation are common approaches for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation treatment, showing similar results in recent multicenter studies, including heterogeneous tools and protocols. The aim of this study is to compare prospectively in a single, high-volume center the outcome of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ablation performed specifically by second-generation cryoballoon or contact force radiofrequency ablation.

Methods

Consecutive patients scheduled for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation transcatheter ablation have been included and prospectively followed up. Aiming to reduce potential bias deriving from baseline characteristics, a propensity score matching analysis has been performed to analyze safety and efficacy outcomes.

Results

Out of consecutive patients undergoing atrial fibrillation transcatheter ablation between January 2015 and December 2016, 46 patients approached by cryoablation were matched 1 : 1 by propensity score to a similar population treated by last-generation radiofrequency ablation. Freedom from atrial fibrillation after 12 months (76 vs. 78%, P = 0.804) and incidence of complications (4 vs. 6%, P = 0.168) did not differ between the two groups. Radiological exposure was higher for the cryoballoon group (11 vs. 4 min, P < 0.001), whereas procedural duration did not differ (P = 0.174). Aiming to assess the potential impact of a learning curve in patients undergoing cryoablation, the first-third of patients (n = 15) were compared with the remaining, reporting longer radiological exposure (P < 0.001), but similar safety and efficacy.

Conclusion

In this propensity score analysis, last-generation cryoballoon and radiofrequency catheters for atrial fibrillation ablation present similar efficacy and safety. Cryoablation requires longer fluoroscopy exposure compared with radiofrequency, although this is reduced by increased experience.
Short-term effects of phosphate fertilizer enriched with low molecular weight organic acids on phosphorus release kinetic and availability under calcareous conditions in arid region
Authors: Mihoub Adil , Daddi Bouhoun Mustapha , Naeem Asif
Published: February 2018

Phosphate reactions and retention in the soil are of paramount importance from the perspective of plant nutrition and fertilizer use efficiency. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of some low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on phosphorus release kinetic and its availability in calcareous soil. Experiments were conducted in laboratory. Soil-limestone mixtures were prepared to achieve highly calcareous samples (i.e. 50% CaCO3). The prepared samples were mixed thoroughly with phosphate fertilizers i.e. Triple super phosphate (TSP) and Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) and watered with distilled water only (CK), with citric acid solution (CA) and with oxalic acid solution (OA). The treatments were arranged in a CRD with three replications and incubated at 25 ± 2°C and 80% soil moisture for a period of 960 h. The parabolic model was used for describing the decrease in P with time. As a result, all treatments showed a significant decrease in available P with time. Using LMWOAs showed important results and combination of phosphate fertilizers with both LMWOAs solutions exerted a very favorable effect on P availability in soil. The parabolic diffusion equation used was fitted well to experimental data. Addition of LMWOAs decreased loss in extractability of P with increasing soil available phosphorus fraction. Moreover, treatments irrigated by LMWOAs solutions released a lot of phosphorus compared to untreated treatments.

THE IMPACT OF CALENDAR ANOMALIES ON STOCK RETURN AND VOLATILITY: EVIDENCE FROM TURKISH STOCK MARKET
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Mutlu Başaran , UYSAL Mustafa , ARSLAN Halil , KAYHAN Temur
Published: February 2018

There has been a rise in recent studies on behavioral finance. According to Fama (1970) all
information is priced, so it cannot be said about the undervalued stock. However, behavioral finance asserts
that there are many anomalies in the market. The effects of days of the week, January effect and religious
days on the returns and volatility of the stock markets were examined in the literature. In the case of Turkey,
aforementioned anomalies are tested using returns and volatility of BIST100 and KAT30 indices. As a result,
days of the week, January effect and Ramadan effect have no any effect on returns and volatility of both
conventional and unconventional stock indices. The result has strengthened the assumption that Turkish
market is more efficient in this sense and in line with Fama’s EMH. It has been observed that timing does not
have a significant effect on the strategies of Turkish investor
Cultural Identity and Social Interaction of Indigenous Peoples in the Middle of Modernization (Case Study of Indigenous Peoples of Kasepuhan Banten Kidul)
Authors: Malik Abdul
Published: February 2018

The indigenous community of Kasepuhan Banten Kidul is society entity that still maintains the past Sundanese traditions strictly, but is quite open and adaptive to the development of the age. The condition is reflected in their accommodative attitude towards all social changes that occur due to modernization. However, this condition does not make them lose their cultural identity as kasepuhan community. In the social interaction, the cultural identity is always inherent in them, both in the way of acting or reacting, and symbolized through the clothes and accessories worn. This condition can not be separated from the existence of indigenous institutions that have central role in upholding indigenous rules, so that all members of kasepuhan community have so strong ties to their cultural identity. Therefore, although in always changing social situation, they are able to adapt and even adopt the changes by not losing their cultural identity.

Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) is one of Indonesian public health problems because of its high incidence rate.DHF control is emphasized on vector control Aedes aegypti by using insecticide. Organophosphate has been used asinsecticides to control the dengue vectors for more than 25 years ago. The using of insecticide in long time andsublethal dose can induce insecticide resistance. Aedes aegypti resistance of organophophate have occured based onfisiologic and genetical mechanisms. The major mechanism of resistance to organophosphate insecticides in Aedesaegypti is genetical mechanism. The two major forms of genetical resistance are target site resistance which occurswhen the insecticide no longer binds to its target and detoxification enzyme based resistance through highly activenon specific esterase enzyme.

Published: February 2018

TNF is important in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) pathogenesis. Recently reports showedsTNF levels were significantly lower in SpA than RA synovial fluid (SF). Therefore, the differential regulation of TNFin both diseases were investigated focusing on the balance of sTNF-tmTNF and both TNF receptors expression. Synovialfluid from 22 RA and 25 SpA were analyzed by ELISA. sTNF was confirmed significantly higher in RA than SpA.Total TNF of synovial tissues assessed by qPCR showed similar levels, suggesting a higher tmTNF/sTNF ratio in SpA.The levels of sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2 were significantly lower in SpA than RA SF. Interestingly, sTNF-R2/sTNF-R1increased in SpA. qPCR on synovial tissue showed similar mRNA levels for TNF-R2 but decrease of TNF-R1 in SpA.IL-6R levels did not showed differences and TIMP-3 tended to be higher in RA than in SpA SF. In conclusion, weobserved a shift from sTNF/TNF-R1 in RA to tmTNF/TNF-R2 in SpA.
