Authors: Mangueira Milena Carolina dos Santos , Vieira Renata Passos Machado , Alves Francisco Régis Vieira , Catarino Paula Maria Machado Cruz
Published: July 2020

In this article, we will define Padovan’s hybrid numbers, based on the new noncommutative numbering system studied by Özdemir ([7]). Such a system that is a set involving complex, hyperbolic and dual numbers. In addition, Padovan’s hybrid numbers are created by combining this set, satisfying the relation ih = −hi = ɛ + i. Given this, some properties and identities are shown for these numbers, such as Binet’s formula, generating matrix, characteristic equation, norm, and generating function. In addition, these numbers are extended to the integer field and some identities are made.

Published: July 2020

The goal of this study was to determine whether the Tethapod system, which was designed to determine the impedance properties of lipid bilayers, could be used for cell culture in order to utilise micro-impedance spectroscopy to examine further biological applications. To that purpose we have used normal epithelial cells from kidney (RPTEC) and a kidney cancer cell model (786-O). We demonstrate that the Tethapod system is compatible with the culture of 10,000 cells seeded to grow on a small area gold measurement electrode for several days without affecting the cell viability. Furthermore, the range of frequencies for EIS measurements were tuned to examine easily the characteristics of the cell monolayer. We demonstrate significant differences in the paracellular resistance pathway between normal and cancer kidney epithelial cells. Thus, we conclude that this device has advantages for the study of cultured cells that include (i) the configuration of measurement and reference electrodes across a microfluidic channel, and (ii) the small surface area of 6 parallel measurement electrodes (2.1 mm2) integrated in a microfluidic system. These characteristics might improve micro-impedance spectroscopy measurement techniques to provide a simple tool for further studies in the field of the patho-physiology of biological barriers.
ESR Dating of Optically Bleached Quartz Grains: Assessing the Impact of Different Experimental Setups on Dose Evaluations
Authors: Guilarte Verónica , Duval Mathieu
Published: July 2020

In recent years, our investigation has been centred on improving the reliability and accuracy of the ESR method applied to quartz grains. As part of this ongoing investigation, we present an intra-laboratory study to evaluate the impact of different experimental setups on the ESR measurement precision and dose evaluation for ESR dating of optically bleached quartz grains. Repeated measurements of quartz samples have been performed at CENIEH, Spain, using two different Bruker spectrometers (EMXmicro and Elexsys E500) and resonators (standard rectangular ER4102ST and cylindrical Super High QE cavities). Their performance in terms of sensitivity, measurement repeatability and dose determination are presented in this study.

This intra-laboratory work has allowed to evaluate the robustness of our protocol for ESR dating of quartz grains and to study the potential impact of different experimental setups on dose evaluation, which is essential for future standardization of the ESR dating method. Our results indicate that all the different experimental setups provide comparable precision of the ESR intensity measurements. Moreover, all the ESR dose estimates are within 1-sigma error, suggesting that it is possible to compare results obtained by different laboratories when similar analytical procedures are followed. Finally, the higher sensitivity achieved by the SHQE resonator appears to be of particular interest when dealing with samples showing low ESR signal intensities.
A Comparison Between the Squat and the Deadlift for Lower Body Strength and Power Training
Authors: Nigro Federico , Bartolomei Sandro
Published: July 2020

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two resistance training programs including either a deadlift or a parallel squat on lower body maximal strength and power in resistance trained males. Twenty-five resistance trained men were randomly assigned to a deadlift group (DE; n = 14; age = 24.3 ± 4.1 y; body mass = 84.8 ± 14.2 kg; body height = 180.3 ± 6.8 cm) or to a squat group (SQ; n = 11; age = 22.3 ± 1.6 y; body mass = 83.0 ± 13.6 kg; body height 179.9 ± 6.1 cm). Both groups trained 3 times per week for 6 weeks. The deadlift and the squat were the only lower body maximal strength exercises performed by DE and SQ groups, respectively, while both training programs included jumps. A significantly (p = 0.017) greater increase in deadlift 1RM was observed in the DE compared to the SQ group, while the SQ group obtained a significantly (p = 0.049) greater increase in squat 1RM. A significant increase in jump performance (p = 0.010), without significant interactions between groups (p = 0.552), was observed in both groups. Three participants of the DE group developed lower back pain and were excluded from the study. Results indicate that both the squat and the deadlift can result in similar improvement in lower body maximal strength and jump performance and can be successfully included in strength training programs. The incidence of back pain in the DE group may suggest a marked stress of this exercise on the lower back. Proper technique should be used to minimize the risk of injury, especially when the deadlift is performed.
Differentiating African Teams from European Teams: Identifying the Key Performance Indicators in the FIFA World Cup 2018
Authors: Kubayi Alliance , Toriola Abel
Published: July 2020

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Despite this global popularity, European teams in contrast to African ones, have dominated the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup tournaments for many decades. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the performance indicators that differentiated between African and European teams in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Thirty matches played by five European (n = 15) and five African teams (n = 15) from the group stages of the World Cup were analysed using the InStat video system. The results showed that European teams had higher averages than African teams on the following performance variables: total shots, shots on target, goals scored from open play and set pieces, ball possession, short passes, medium passes, total passes, accurate passes and corner kicks. Therefore, soccer coaches should take note of these findings as they could serve as a benchmark for African teams to set trends and improve their performance at FIFA World Cup tournaments.

Published: July 2020

In water polo competitions, teams play four periods, each period consisting of eight minutes of actual playing time: a total of 32 minutes (Standard Actual Play Time, SAPT). Substitutions are permitted and a player may be substituted several times. The aim of this article was to provide reference data on played time, taking into consideration the field play position of the players. 352 male water polo players of 18 different nationalities were studied during two consecutive FINA World Championships. 180 games were analyzed and 1980 measurements of the game Measured Actual Play Time (MAPT) were taken. A time density index (DI) was calculated for each athlete using SAPT and MAPT. No statistically significant differences between the field positions were found with regard to age, as was the case in relation to teams between Game MAPT, Tournament MAPT and DI. However, when looking at the diverse field positions (field players, FP; center forward, CF; center back, CB), there were statistically significant differences: Game MAPT FPvsCB p = 0.03 and FPvsCF p = 0.03; Tournament MAPT FPvsCB p = 0.03; DI FPvsCB p = 0.03 and FPvsCF p = 0.04. In these competitions the water polo player had on average a MAPT value of 17.4 ± 6.1 min (54.6 ± 9.5% DI); there were athletes who played 2.3 min (7.1% DI) and others who played up to 31.6 min (95.3% DI). The MAPT in water polo is extremely variable among athletes and must be considered for a correct performance analysis. High-level water polo players require different training strategies depending on their MAPT.

Authors: Pires Telma , Pires Patrícia , Moreira Helena , Viana Rui
Published: July 2020

The aim of this study was to systematize the scientific evidence that assessed the prevalence of urinary incontinence in female athletes and determine which modality is most predisposed to stress urinary incontinence. From September to December 2018, a systematic literature search of current interventional studies of stress urinary incontinence of the last ten years was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science databases. The methodological quality was assessed by the Downs and Black scale, while the data collected from the studies were analyzed through meta-analysis. Nine studies met the eligibility criteria, meaning they included reports of urinary incontinence in different sports. The meta-analysis showed 25.9% prevalence of urinary incontinence in female athletes in different sports, as well as 20.7% prevalence of stress urinary incontinence. The most prevalent high impact sport was volleyball, with the value of 75.6%. The prevalence of urinary incontinence can be high in female athletes, with high-impact sports potentially increasing the risk for stress urinary incontinence. Further research is needed regarding the potential risk factors related to the onset of urinary incontinence.

Published: July 2020

A series of borate glasses with the composition x(SrO)·(50 – x)V2O5·0.5(B2O3) where x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 were prepared by melt-quenching technique. The non-crystalline nature of the glasses has been established by XRD studies. Room temperature density and DC electrical conductivity of the samples were investigated in the temperature range of 300 K to 443 K. The molar volume and oxygen packing density (OPD) were estimated. The results show that the density, molar volume and OPD decrease with the increasing of SrO mole fraction. The DC electrical conductivity data has been analyzed in the light of Mott’s small polaron hopping (SPH) model and the activation energies were estimated. The conductivity was observed to rapidly fall and activation energy was found to increase when SrO was incorporated into the glass network. This may indicate that Sr+ ions have not contributed to the total conductivity and the observed conductivity may be of polaronic type only, which is due to the hopping of electrons between multivalent states of vanadium. Various small polaron hopping parameters such as small polaron radius, rp, effective dielectric constant, ϵp, polaron band width, J, optical phonon frequency, υo, small polaron coupling constant, γp, density of states at Fermi level, N(EF) were estimated and discussed.

COLOR MATCHING CONSIDERATION ON THE EFFECT OF IPRGC FOR COLOR REPRODUCTION ON DISPLAY DEVICE
Authors: Akiba Kota , al. et.
Published: July 2020

At the beginning of this century, intrinsically photoreceptive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), new photoreceptors different from cones and rods, were discovered. The aim of this study was to experimentally verify the influence of ipRGCs on the colour reproduction of a display. In the experiment, we performed perceptual colour matching between colour patches and displays. Although colorimetric reproduction of the colour patch was used for the initial image of the display, the colour matching results were largely out of colorimetric colour reproduction. Since this result suggests that ipRGCs may affect colour reproduction of displays, a correction equation that accounts for the influence of ipRGCs was derived. Applying this correction formula improved the results. It is considered possible to accurately display the colour of a real object on a display using a correction equation that accounts for the effect of ipRGCs.
HDR IMAGING FOR LUMINANCE AND MELANOPIC RADIANCE: CAMERAS AND SPECTRAL POWER DISTRIBUTIONSRACT TITLE
Authors: Kruisselbrink Thijs , al. et.
Published: July 2020

The luminance, measured using HDR imaging, is relevant to achieve quality lighting. However, the accuracy and applicability of such systems are not warranted. In this study, the capabilities of six different cameras to measure the luminance and melanopic radiance were assessed, based on simulations, relative to 205 spectral power distributions. Moreover, the luminance was determined based on the conventional model and an alternative model aiming to limit the spectral mismatch. The spectral responsivity of the cameras as well as the correlated colour temperature and the full spectrum index showed to be affecting the measurement performance. Large gains in performance were achieved if the luminance calculation was optimized by limiting the spectral mismatch (10,3 % to 2,9 %). Moreover, for melanopic radiance measurements, large differences in measurement errors occurred between cameras (20,0 % to 1,9 %). As a result, the camera and luminance calculation model should be chosen carefully.

Cyanobacteria represent the richest sources of phycobiliproteins with especial reference to C-phycocyanin (C-PC), which in turn holds exhaustive therapeutic implications. Screening of several cyanobacterial strains namely Anabaena sp., Nostoc muscorum, Cylindrospermum sp., Plectonema sp., Scytonema sp., Spirulina sp., Synechococcous sp. and Tolypothrix sp. was carried out for their C-PC producing capacity, however the produced quantity of C-PC varies greatly among different strains. Owing to the crucial role of different media constituents on productivity of C-PC the current study was designed to optimize most appropriate media composition for augmented CPC production by selected superior producer. 36 factorial central composite design (CCD) dependent response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to estimate the important medium components attributed with influencing C-PC productivity. RSM analysis of five independent coded factors including Na2CO3, K2HPO4, NaNO3, citric acid and EDTA were analyzed preceded by recognition of efficient variables for algal components production by Plectonema sp. Investigation of results revealed that the eminent medium components were NaCO3 (0.4 g/L); NaNO3 (0.5 g/L); K2HPO4 (2.8 g/L); citric acid (0.08 g/L) and EDTA (0.01 g/L) respectively. The optimized combination yielded 0.5536 mg/ml of C-PC. The increment of C-PC yield is R-Sq = 88.2%. Thus, our study led to the recognition of critical nutritional component that can be used further for enhanced productivity of C-PC.

Authors: Mohammed Safeer V S  , Umesh M
Published: July 2020

Hypertension also called as increased blood pressure (BP) is a chronic disorder in which BP is persistently elevated in the main systemic arteries. The main risk factor for cardiovascular disorder is hypertension. It is common in almost all countries. It makes a silent and gradual progress. Quality of life is a wide term which mainly affects the physical health, psychological condition, level of independence, social relationships and personal beliefs of a person. The HRQoL in people with hypertension can be mostly affected by the disease condition itself or due to the adverse effects of the treatment. Determining the quality of life of patients with hypertension has become an important issue. The HRQoL of hypertensive patients can be improved if the treatment and lifestyle modifications are done correctly. Counseling the patients with hypertension regarding risk factors, lifestyle modifications and medication adherence can also improve the HRQoL. Several questionnaires are available for assessing the HRQoL of people with different disorders. This questionnaire or instrument can be categorized into two types: the questionnaires for a specific disease and the general questionnaire. The SF instrument was introduced in the United States of America by the RANDS Corporation’s Health Insurance researches. It has now been translated to more than 120 world languages. Short form instrument is divided into different types which includes SF-36, SF-12, SF-20 and many more. EuroQol created EQ5D as a standardized method for assessing health status to provide a clear, objective health measure for medical and economic evaluation. . The EQ5D instrument comprises of three versions: EQ-5D-5L, EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-Y. WHOQoL- BREF, is a generic questionnaire administered on its own which contain 26 items. The MINICHAL was developed or introduced in 2001 in Spain which contains 17 questions. The word MINICHAL was obtained from “Mini Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida en Hypertensión Arterial.
INTERACTION ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLE KNIFE SURFACE WITH THE SOIL
Authors: Nikolaiev V. A.
Published: July 2020

Introduction.In Russia the use of cyclical equipment to remove the top layer of the soil is not feasible. The problem of the roads construction accelerating, improving their quality can be solved by applying a continuous action unit to form a litter layer. The main working bodies of the unit are buckets, including lower knives, right knives and console knives. A console knife contains the edge of the blade, the front face of the blade, the surface and the lower plane. The analysis of the interaction with the ground elements of the continuous action unit console knife is of theoretical and practical interest.

The method of research. A consistent impact of many console knives on the ground within the width of the capture unit by the impact of one conventional console knife on the ground at a distance needed to develop one cubic meter of soil is replaced. The interaction forces of the conventional console knife with the ground are called conventional forces. The method of calculating energy costs when introducing a console knife into the ground is presented: to overcome the pressure of the ground on the front face of the console knife, to lift the ground, to vertical acceleration of the soil of the front bevel, to overcome the friction of the ground on the front face and to overcome the friction of the ground on the lower plane of the console knife. The total energy costs of the interaction of the console knife with the ground volume of one cubic meter are obtained by the addition of private energy expenditures.

Results.On the basis of the developed method, energy costs are calculated when introducing a console knife into the ground: to overcome the pressure of the ground on the front face of the console knife, to lift the ground, to vertical acceleration of the soil of the front bevel, to overcome the friction of the ground on the front face and to overcome the friction of the ground on the lower plane of the console knife. The total energy costs and their structure when the console knife interacts with the ground volume of one cubic meter are defined. The horizontal longitudinal force needed to move the console knife has been determined.

Conclusion.The total energy needed to cut the ground with console knives is about 20 kJ/cub.m. At the same time energy costs for the interaction of console knives blades edges with soil about 7,000 J/cub.m, on the interaction of the packing console knives blades with the ground about 6,000 J/cub.m, to overcome the ground friction on the lower plane of the console knife 7, 000 J/cub.m. To determine the total energy costs of cutting the ground with buckets of the unit to remove the top layer of the soil from the underlying layer of the road, the interaction with the soil of other elements of the bucket is necessary to be analyzed.
ENSURING PRIORITY FOR PUBLIC URBAN PASSENGER TRANSPORT ON URBAN STREETS AND ROAD NETWORK
Authors: Fomin E. V. , Zeer V. А. , Arefieva E. S. , Golub N. V.
Published: July 2020

Introduction.Recently, in large and medium-sized cities, the increase in traffic has been exacerbated by the growth of motorization and the lack of development of the road network. Increasing vehicle traffic to a critical level leads to overcapacity of the arteries and, as a consequence, increases the level of delay. Public urban mass passenger transport is one of the most vulnerable groups in this regard. In order to unload the city’s street network, it is necessary to reduce the level of road traffic. One of the effective measures to deal with this problem is to increase the attractiveness of urban mass passenger transport, i.e. to ensure an adequate level of service for passengers including high speed, which can be increased by giving priority to bus traffic. One of the prospects for prioritizing public urban transport is the development of individual lanes or streets for urban rolling stock only. Due to the lack of criteria for the allocation of separate lanes for urban rolling stock, they have begun to appear in the vast majority on the main streets of the city. There are a large number of urban highways used for the operation of only one public transport route with dedicated lanes on them. The need for such arrangements is questionable. It is therefore necessary to formulate the criteria that justify the need for a separate urban passenger lane on a given stretch of the city network. Thus, the purpose of this work is to identify patterns between traffic parameters and the parameters of the urban public passenger transport programme, which will determine the criteria for the need for a separate lane for urban land transport on each individual stretch of the network.

Materials and methods.This article deals with the method of determining the need for a separate lane for public urban passenger transport on a given stretch of the road network. In order to improve the quality of the transport of passengers, a mathematical model has been developed, based on such indicators as the level of traffic delay and the share of passenger traffic in the total flow of participants. Results. The necessary conditions have been laid down the strict implementation of which determines the need to ensure the priority of urban mass public passenger transport on the section of the city’s street network under consideration.

Discussion and conclusion.The dependencies obtained make it possible to identify the need to ensure the priority of urban transport.

Authors: Ryabov I. M. , Gorina V.
Published: July 2020

Introduction.At present the transportation of current high-capacity containers in road-rail mixed network is carried out only by means of the specialized sites with the equipment for their reloading. The number of such sites on the railway transport network in the Russian Federation is significantly fewer than the number of conventional cargo railway stations without such equipment, which leads to distance, time and cost of delivery increasing, the efficiency of the road transport use reducing due to a large downtime. The transportation of high-capacity containers by road rolling stock (RS) is often carried out over the considerable distances in the reverse direction by rail. In order to eliminate these shortcomings, the authors of the article formulated the purpose of the work – the development and evaluation of the efficiency of the technology of goods transportation in high-capacity containers with load lifting stays in a road-railway network based on a transportation case study. Within the framework of which a new design of a container with load lifting stays has been developed which allow to carry out loading and unloading operations with the container at conventional cargo railway stations without the use of specialized equipment of container terminals, as well as the efficiency evaluation of the technology of the containers transportation in road-rail network based on a case study.

Materials and methods. The study uses the following methods of theories: cars operation, car operational properties, transport processes; analytical and numerical methods.

Results. It has been determined that the cargo delivery time according to the new technology of transportation of high-capacity containers with load lifting stays from the Volga brewery to Novosibirsk has decreased by 24.6%, the time of operation of road RS has decreased by 10 times, and the annual economic efficiency of the new technology application is 1.55 million rubles in comparison with the current technology.

Discussion and conclusions.Based on the case study of the use of a new technology for the transportation of high-capacity containers with load lifting stays in a mixed network it has been found that this technology allows: A) to reduce the number of delivery operations by 24%; B) to reduce the delivery time by 24.6% and the operation time of motor transport by 10 times. C) to obtain the annual economic effect of the application of the new technology in the amount of 1.55 million rubles.

This study aims to provide an alternative offer of vocabulary learning models adapted from learning models in pesantren. Observations made during June 2019 and interviews with informants who have woven pesantren education and intruspection methods were applied in this study. In the pesantren environment, especially modern pesantren, vocabulary learning is done in a practical way. Speaking skills in the current context are focused on modern pesantren. In the pesantren tradition, especially traditional pesantren, vocabulary learning takes precedence over the strengthening of scientific terms, especially those contained in classical texts (kitab kuning). In the combination learning model, which is generally applied in semipesantren, the vocabulary learning is carried out on two lines: the classical and practical paths. This study offers the concept of learning on the basis of vocabulary mapping based on the needs and relationships between learners and BIPA teachers.

Children with hearing impairment are children with hearing loss who are classified into deaf and hard of hearing. The direct impact of disability is the obstruction of verbal / verbal communication, both speaking (expressive) and understanding the conversations of others (receptive). Obtaining the first language of a deaf child can be done with total communication. Total communication is the most effective communication system because in addition to using a form of communication orally or called oral, the activity of reading, writing, reading utterances, is also equipped with a form of cues. The purpose of this study was to determine the acquisition of language of children with special needs (deaf) in understanding language. Subjects in this study are children with special needs who experience speech impairment (hearing impairment) while the object of this study is focused on only one child, Mila Erdita, a 15-year-old child. This research refers to case studies with descriptive research type. Data collection techniques in this study will be done in three ways, namely; observation techniques, interview techniques, and documentation techniques. In this research, data processing that will be done is to describe the speech data of deaf children to see the acquisition of children's vocabulary. The results of this study indicate that deaf children can obtain a language of total communication using a form of communication orally or called oral, with the activities of reading, writing, reading utterances, also equipped with signs
The New Zealand Insurance and Savings Ombudsman Scheme
Authors: Rogers Stephen
Published: July 2020

In January 1995, the New Zealand insurance industry embarked on a programme of self-regulation. At the centre of this programme is the Insurance and Savings Ombudsman Scheme ('ISO Scheme'), which is intended to provide an independent dispute resolution service for non-commercial insureds. This article discusses the ISO Scheme's development process, how the ISO Scheme measures up, and whether ISO Scheme's complaints handling be rated. The author concludes that, while the ISO Scheme appears to be a step in the right direction, there are questions to be resolved about accessibility, the adequacy of public information, and the degree of actual independence achieved by the Scheme. The real benefit to the insurance and savings industry must come from encouraging use of the ISO Scheme by complainants, and for this to happen the Scheme will have to establish a reputation for independence, flexibility and effectiveness.
The Use of Insurance Codes of Practice - Are Consumers Getting a "Fair Go"
Authors: Clarke David
Published: July 2020

Voluntary codes of practice are currently favoured in New Zealand as a means of providing a framework for self regulation by industry groups. The insurance industry is no exception. A number of industry bodies have adopted codes of practice, which include general guidance and disciplinary codes. This article examines these voluntary codes of practice and questions whether consumers benefit from this form of insurance regulation. This is not a speculative enquiry. Because of the importance of insurance as a mechanism for risk transfer to our society, our economy, and in particular, to consumers, a clear understanding of these codes of practice, and in particular their legal effect and their benefits and limitations as a rule-making mechanism is essential.

Economic Dislocation and Contract Renegotiation in New Zealand and Japan: A Preliminary Empirical Study
Authors: Nottage L
Published: July 2020

This article reports on results so far from ongoing empirical research into attitudes and practices in New Zealand and Japan as to contract renegotiation in cases of extreme economic dislocation. It reports primarily on a survey administered to students in both countries. It adds some preliminary results from a more ambitious survey and follow-up interviews with companies; final results will follow in early 1997. In the interim, the article draws some possible implications for reform of the law of frustration of contract, and for legal theory more generally.
The Constitution of Japan, at the Founding and 50 Years Later
Authors: Beer L W

The author explores constitutional issues in Japan after WWII. As the world's prime example of successful synthesis of radically different traditions of law and constitution, the author concludes that Japan deserves global respect and more study in the emerging multi-cultural age.
Can the subaltern heal? Medical marijuana in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Dew Kevin , Armstrong L
Published: July 2020

© The Author(s) 2020. In this article the concepts of statist medicine and subaltern therapeutics are used to provide insight into the debates over the therapeutic use of marijuana in cases of serious or terminal illness. In 2015 medical marijuana gained public attention in Aotearoa New Zealand as cases of people facing life-threatening conditions who wished to use marijuana for therapeutic purposes were given voice in the popular media. In Aotearoa New Zealand marijuana use is illegal for recreational purposes, but theoretically patients with particular conditions could gain access to medicinal forms of marijuana if health professionals, the Ministry of Health and the relevant government minister approved. This approval process is embedded within statist medicine’s regulatory regimes, where access can be provided on condition that the medication meets standards of safety and efficacy. Patients faced with the difficulty of negotiating the processes of statist medicine to access medical marijuana often reverted to illegal means of accessing the plant. Access to illegal forms of marijuana for medical purposes could be through ‘green fairies’, people who provided the plant for therapeutic purposes in a way that was distant from the criminalised recreational use of the drug obtained through ‘dealers’. The process of the state, patients and marijuana providers negotiating the regulation of therapeutic uses of marijuana provides insights into the role of statist medicine and subaltern therapeutics. The case of medical marijuana alerts us to the possibilities of other subaltern therapeutic practices that operate beyond the gaze of the state.
Public engagement and the role of the media in post-marketing drug safety: the case of Eltroxin® (levothyroxine) in New Zealand

Published: July 2020

© 2017, © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. The potential for harms from adverse drug reactions (ADR) constitutes a critical patient safety and public health challenge, especially with increased medication usage as populations age. The research reported here explores explanations for a sudden increase in ADR reporting in New Zealand after a new formulation of a medication to treat hypothyroidism, Eltroxin® (levothyroxine), was phased in. The formulation was adjudged to be bioequivalent to the old formulation, yet following its introduction, a sharp increase in the reporting of adverse reactions to this drug occurred. The paper analyses public engagement and the role of print media coverage, press releases and minutes of meetings of relevant agencies in order to describe the unfolding of this health controversy. Early interpretations of the sharp increase in reporting of reactions explained it as an outcome of a combination of factors, including a mistrust of state drug subsidising agencies and media attention that provoked anxiety in this vulnerable population. This paper offers an alternative explanation arguing that, as adverse drug reactions are known to be significantly underreported, the Eltroxin® ‘health scare’ illustrates enhanced pharmacovigilance triggered by the interaction between patients and the media. The Eltroxin® controversy is an illustrative case example of the amplification of ADR reporting by patients following increased media attention in the context of a low consumer reporting environment. The case of Eltroxin® indicates that drug safety can be enhanced by actively using media sources and by encouraging patient engagement and reporting of ADRs.
Moral discourses and pharmaceuticalised governance in households
Authors: Dew Kevin , Norris P , Gabe J , Chamberlain K , Hodgetts D
Published: July 2020

© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. This article extends our understanding of the everyday practices of pharmaceuticalisation through an examination of moral concerns over medication practices in the household. Moral concerns of responsibility and discipline in relation to pharmaceutical consumption have been identified, such as passive or active medication practices, and adherence to orthodox or unorthodox accounts. This paper further delineates dimensions of the moral evaluations of pharmaceuticals. In 2010 and 2011 data were collected from 55 households across New Zealand and data collection techniques, such as photo- and diary-elicitation interviews, allowed the participants to develop and articulate reflective stories of the moral meaning of pharmaceuticals. Four repertoires were identified: a disordering society repertoire where pharmaceuticals evoke a society in an unnatural state; a disordering self repertoire where pharmaceuticals signify a moral failing of the individual; a disordering substances repertoire where pharmaceuticals signify a threat to one's physical or mental equilibrium; a re-ordering substances repertoire where pharmaceuticals signify the restoration of function. The research demonstrated that the dichotomies of orthodox/unorthodox and compliance/resistance do not adequately capture how medications are used and understood in everyday practice. Attitudes change according to why pharmaceuticals are taken and who is taking them, their impacts on social relationships, and different views on the social or natural production of disease, the power of the pharmaceutical industry, and the role of health experts. Pharmaceuticals are tied to our identity, what we want to show of ourselves, and what sort of world we see ourselves living in. The ordering and disordering understandings of pharmaceuticals intersect with forms of pharmaceuticalised governance, where conduct is governed through pharmaceutical routines, and where self-responsibility entails following the prescription of other agents. Pharmaceuticals symbolise forms of governance with different sets of roles and responsibilities.
