Relationship Seekers Versus Relationship Selectors: Influence of Residential Mobility on How to Evaluate Others
Authors: Fang Yuchen , Nunoi Masato , Komiya Asuka
Published: January 2022

The present study examined the effect of residential mobility on impression formation. In the study, participants were first engaged in a residential mobility priming task where they were asked to imagine and describe either frequent moving life (high-mobility condition) or less frequent moving life (low-mobility condition). They then evaluated their attitudes toward four types of target persons: competent vs. incompetent and warm vs. cold. As a result, in the high-mobility condition, the effect of competence was observed only when participants evaluated a warm person, whereas in the low-mobility condition, it appeared only when participants evaluated a cold person. The potential influence of individual residential mobility on the relationship formation is also discussed.

Published: January 2022

Manufacturing companies in today's industrial world are seeking to use the new manufacturing process methods. The primary goal of corporations is to achieve optimum production while deploying minimal capital. The fundamental purpose of this study is to examine the influence of various lean manufacturing practices on the sustainability performance of companies and the mediating role of green supply chain management (GSCM). The data was gathered using questionnaires from 250 Pakistani manufacturing firms and analyzed using AMOS 25. Results demonstrate that process and equipment, product design, supplier relationships, and customer relationships significantly affect sustainable performance. It is also recognized that Green Supply Chain Management mediates the interaction between HR processes, product design, supplier relationship, customer relationship, and environmental performance. The findings of this study will enable managers and decision-makers of manufacturing companies to increase sustainable efficiency and reduce waste through the use of lean manufacturing and GSCM implementation.

Published: January 2022

Background: Though Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (GTS) has significant impact on the quality of life of its patients, measures of health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) specific to adolescents and adults with GTS were not developed until recently. The present study provides evidence on the validity of the Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome-Quality of Life Scale (GTS-QOL), the first disease-specific HR-QOL instrument for GTS patients, for the first time in an East Asian sample.

Methods: One hundred and two Japanese individuals aged 13 and above with GTS were included in our study. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. The 4-factor structure of the GTS-QOL was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, using goodness of fit indices, factor loadings of each questionnaire item, and covariances between factors. Validity was assessed using interscale correlations. Convergent and discriminate construct validity was evaluated using correlations with other scales such as the 28-item General Health Questionnaire, the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale, and the short version of the Padua Inventory.

Results: Scaling assumptions were met. Internal consistency reliability was high, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.96. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed sufficient factor loadings and goodness of fit. All measures of goodness of fit corroborated the fit of the 4-factor model. Standardized covariances between factors in the confirmatory factor analysis were >0.8. There were significant correlations with other well-validated scales, and thus convergent and discriminate construct validity was sufficient.

Conclusion: The GTS-QOL is a valid and reliable instrument to measure disease-specific HR-QOL of GTS patients in Japan.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an RNA virus, a member of the coronavirus family of respiratory viruses that includes severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). It has had an acute and dramatic impact on health care systems, economies, and societies of affected countries during the past 8 months. Widespread testing and tracing efforts are being employed in many countries in attempts to contain and mitigate this pandemic. Recent data has indicated that fecal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 is common and that the virus RNA can be detected in wastewater. This indicates that wastewater monitoring may provide a potentially efficient tool for the epidemiological surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 infection in large populations at relevant scales. In particular, this provides important means of (i) estimating the extent of outbreaks and their spatial distributions, based primarily on in-sewer measurements, (ii) managing the early-warning system quantitatively and efficiently, and (iii) verifying disease elimination. Here we report different virus concentration methods using polyethylene glycol (PEG), alum, or filtration techniques as well as different RNA extraction methodologies, providing important insights regarding the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in sewage. Virus RNA particles were detected in wastewater in several geographic locations in Israel. In addition, a correlation of virus RNA concentration to morbidity was detected in Bnei-Barak city during April 2020. This study presents a proof of concept for the use of direct raw sewage-associated virus data, during the pandemic in the country as a potential epidemiological tool.
Effect of Charlson Comorbidity Index and Treatment Strategy on Survival of Elderly Patients After Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Gastric Adenocarcinoma: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
Authors: Cao Wenzhe , Liu Shaohua , Wang Shasha , Wang Shengshu , Song Yang , He Yao
Published: January 2022

Background: The optimal treatment strategy for elderly patients with early gastric adenocarcinoma (EGAC) after non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) remains unclear. The purpose of this research was to explore the effectiveness of additional treatments after ESD and the factors affecting survival in elderly patients (≥60 years of age) with EGAC.

Methods: A total of 639 elderly patients (≥60 years) treated with ESD for EGAC from 2006 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Positive lymphatic infiltration, submucosal infiltration, and positive/indeterminate vertical resection margins are considered high risk factors in histology. According to the risk of lymph node metastasis in patients with EAGC and the treatment strategies adopted after ESD, patients were divided into three groups: there were 484 patients in group A with low risk, 121 patients in group B with high risk, without additional treatment, and 36 patients in group C with high risk, with additional treatment. The 5- and 8-year survival rate, as well as the prognostic factors of survival rate after ESD was studied.

Results: The median follow-up time was 38, 40, and 49 months, respectively. There were 3, 4, and 3 deaths related to gastric adenocarcinoma in groups A, B, and C, while deaths from other diseases were 20, 5, and 3, respectively. There were significant differences in overall survival rates between groups (94.3; 86.4; 81.2%, p = 0.110), but there was no significant difference in disease-specific survival rates (98.4; 92.7; 92.4%, p = 0.016). In the multivariate analysis, the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) ≥ 2 was an independent risk factor for death after ESD (hazard ratio 2.39; 95% confidence interval 1.20–4.77; p = 0.014).

Conclusions: The strategy of ESD with no subsequent additional treatment for EGAC may be a suitable option for elderly patients at high risk, especially for CCI ≥ 2.

Authors: Tessema Belay , Sack Ulrich , Serebrovska Zoya , König Brigitte , Egorov Egor
Published: January 2022

The effects of short-term hyperoxia on age-related diseases and aging biomarkers have been reported in animal and human experiments using different protocols; however, the findings of the studies remain conflicting. In this systematic review, we summarized the existing reports in the effects of short-term hyperoxia on age-related diseases, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), and other oxygen-sensitive transcription factors relevant to aging, telomere length, cellular senescence, and its side effects. This review was done as described in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. A systematic search was done in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library and from the references of selected articles to identify relevant studies until May 2021. Of the total 1,699 identified studies, 17 were included in this review. Most of the studies have shown significant effects of short-term hyperoxia on age-related diseases and aging biomarkers. The findings of the studies suggest the potential benefits of short-term hyperoxia in several clinical applications such as for patients undergoing stressful operations, restoration of cognitive function, and the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury. Short-term hyperoxia has significant effects in upregulation or downregulation of transcription factors relevant to aging such as HIF-1α, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells (NF-kB), and nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) among others. Short-term hyperoxia also has significant effects to increase antioxidant enzymes, and increase telomere length and clearance of senescent cells. Some of the studies have also reported adverse consequences including mitochondrial DNA damage and nuclear cataract formation depending on the dose and duration of oxygen exposure. In conclusion, short-term hyperoxia could be a feasible treatment option to treat age-related disease and to slow aging because of its ability to increase antioxidant enzymes, significantly increase telomere length and clearance of senescent cells, and improve cognitive function, among others. The reported side effects of hyperoxia vary depending on the dose and duration of exposure. Therefore, it seems that additional studies for better understanding the beneficial effects of short-term hyperoxia and for minimizing side effects are necessary for optimal clinical application.
Development of Profiling Methods for Contraband Firearm Volatile Odor Signatures
Authors: Nettles Kirsten , Ford Cameron , Prada-Tiedemann Paola A.
Published: January 2022

The early detection and location of firearm threats is critical to the success of any law enforcement operation to prevent a mass shooting event or illegal transport of weapons. Prevention tactics such as firearm detection canines have been at the front line of security tools to combat this national security threat. Firearm detection canines go through rigorous training regimens to achieve reliability in the detection of firearms as their target odor source. Currently, there is no scientific foundation as to the chemical odor signature emitted from the actual firearm device that could aid in increased and more efficient canine training and performance protocols or a better understanding of the chemistry of firearm-related odorants for better source identification. This study provides a novel method application of solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) as a rapid system for the evaluation of odor profiles from firearm devices (loaded and unloaded). Samples included magazines (n = 30) and firearms (n = 15) acquired from the local law enforcement shooting range. Headspace analysis depicted five frequently occurring compounds across sample matrices including aldehydes such as nonanal, decanal, octanal and hydrocarbons tetradecane and tridecane. Statistical analysis via principal component analysis (PCA) highlighted a preliminary clustering differentiating unloaded firearms from both loaded/unloaded magazines and loaded firearm devices. These results highlight potential odor signature differences associated with different firearm components. The understanding of key odorants above a firearm will have an impact on national security efforts, thereby enhancing training regimens to better prepare canine teams for current threats in our communities.

Published: January 2022

We performed an electronic database search of published works from 2012 to mid-2021 that focus on human gait studies and apply machine learning techniques. We identified six key applications of machine learning using gait data: 1) Gait analysis where analyzing techniques and certain biomechanical analysis factors are improved by utilizing artificial intelligence algorithms, 2) Health and Wellness, with applications in gait monitoring for abnormal gait detection, recognition of human activities, fall detection and sports performance, 3) Human Pose Tracking using one-person or multi-person tracking and localization systems such as OpenPose, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), etc., 4) Gait-based biometrics with applications in person identification, authentication, and re-identification as well as gender and age recognition 5) “Smart gait” applications ranging from smart socks, shoes, and other wearables to smart homes and smart retail stores that incorporate continuous monitoring and control systems and 6) Animation that reconstructs human motion utilizing gait data, simulation and machine learning techniques. Our goal is to provide a single broad-based survey of the applications of machine learning technology in gait analysis and identify future areas of potential study and growth. We discuss the machine learning techniques that have been used with a focus on the tasks they perform, the problems they attempt to solve, and the trade-offs they navigate.
Agricultural Advisory Diagnostics Using a Data-Based Approach: Test Case in an Intensively Managed Rural Landscape in the Ganga River Basin, India
Authors: Adla Soham , Gupta Surya , Karumanchi Sri Harsha , Tripathi Shivam , Disse Markus , Pande Saket
Published: January 2022

Low technology adoption through agricultural extension may be a consequence of providing generic information without sufficient adaptation to local conditions. Data-rich paradigms may be disruptive to extension services and can potentially change farmer-advisor interactions. This study fills a gap in pre-existing, generic advisory programs by suggesting an approach to “diagnose” farm-specific agricultural issues quantitatively first in order to facilitate advisors in developing farm-centric advisories. A user-friendly Farm Agricultural Diagnostics (FAD) tool is developed in Microsoft Excel VBA that uses farmer surveys and soil testing to quantify current agricultural performance, classify farms into different performance categories relative to a localized performance target, and visualize farm performance within a user-friendly interface. The advisory diagnostics approach is tested in Kanpur, representative of an intensively managed rural landscape in the Ganga river basin in India. The developed open-source tool is made available online to generate data-based agricultural advisories. During the field testing in Kanpur, the tool identifies 24% farms as nutrient-limited, 34% farms as water-limited, 27% farms with nutrient and water co-limitations, and the remaining farms as satisfactory compared to the localized performance target. It is recommended to design advisories in terms of water and nutrient recommendations which can fulfill the farm needs identified by the tool. The tool will add data-based value to pre-existing demand based advisory services in agricultural extension programs. The primary users of the tools are academic, governmental and non-governmental agencies working in the agricultural sector, whose rigorous scientific research, soil testing capacity, and direct stakeholder engagement, respectively, can be harnessed to generate more data-based and customized advisories, potentially improving farmer uptake of agricultural advisories.
Habitat Bennu: Design Concepts for Spinning Habitats Constructed From Rubble Pile Near-Earth Asteroids
Authors: Miklavčič Peter M. , Siu John , Wright Esteban , Debrecht Alex , Askari Hesam , Quillen Alice C. , Frank Adam
Published: January 2022

The authors explore the possibility that near-earth, rubble pile asteroids might be used as habitats for human settlement by increasing their rotation to produce spin gravity. Using previously published scaling by Maindl et al. and studies of asteroid populations, it is shown that there is no class of hollowed body that would survive the spin-up process on its own without additional reinforcement. Large solid-rock asteroids (diameterD> 10 km) would not have the tensile strength to withstand the required rotation rates and would fracture and break apart. Smaller asteroids, being ‘rubble piles’, have little tensile strength and would quickly disperse. The possibility of containing the asteroid mass using higher-strength materials like carbon nanofiber is instead considered. It is found that a moderate tensile strength container can maintain the integrity of a large spinning cylinder composed of dispersed asteroid regolith. The research extends the range of possible asteroid habitat candidates, since it may become feasible to construct habitats from the more numerous smaller bodies, including NEAs (Near Earth Asteroids). The required tensile strength of the container material scales with habitat radius and thickness and is ∼ 200 MPa for a starting asteroid body of radius 300 m that is spun up to provide 0.3 g⊕while increasing its radius to 3 km and maintaining a rubble and regolith shield thickness of 2 m to protect against cosmic rays. Ambient solar power can be harvested to aid in spin-up and material processing.
The Central Dark Matter Fraction of Massive Early-Type Galaxies
Authors: Tortora C. , Napolitano N. R.
Published: January 2022

Dark matter (DM) is predicted to be the dominant mass component in galaxies. In the central region of early-type galaxies it is expected to account for a large amount of the total mass, although the stellar mass should still represent the majority of the mass budget, depending on the stellar initial mass function (IMF). We discuss latest results on the DM fraction and mean DM density for local galaxies and explore their evolution with redshifts in the last 8 Gyr of the cosmic history. We compare these results with expectations from the ΛCDM model and discuss the role of the IMF and galaxy model through the central total mass density slope. We finally present future perspectives offered by next-generation instruments/surveys (Rubin/LSST, Euclid, CSST, WEAVE, 4MOST, and DESI), which will provide the unique chance to measure the DM evolution with time for an unprecedented number of galaxies and constrain their evolutionary scenario.

Published: January 2022

Background: Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) and iron deficiencies (ID) are of major public health concern in Tanzania including among school-aged children. PEM and ID in early childhood have serious, long-term consequences because they impede motor, sensory, social and emotional development, growth retardation, poor cognitive development, learning disability of children, lowered resistance to infectious diseases, and reduced physical work capacity. The objective of this study was to elucidate the drivers of pigeon pea consumption among school-aged children in Dodoma district, Central Tanzania. Understanding these drivers would be useful in promoting pigeon pea consumption among school-aged children as one of the strategies to increase dietary protein and iron intake.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study in which data were collected using a questionnaire based on a combination of the Theory of Planned Behavior and Health Belief Model. The data were collected from caregivers (n = 138) in four villages in Kongwa district, Dodoma region, Central Tanzania. We used correlations and multiple regressions to assess associations between constructs and identify predictive constructs. Mann–Whitney U tests were used for score comparisons with a significant p-value set at <0.10.

Results: Health value was significantly correlated with health behavior identity (rs = 0.63, p < 0.001) and also significantly predicted health behavior identity (rs = 0.49, p = 0.001). The constructs cues to action and control belief were significantly associated with intention (β = −0.41, p = 0.059 and β = 0.06, p = 0.019 respectively). Finally, we observed that intention was a significant predictor of behavior (β = 1.38, p = 0.001). We also observed a significant negative interaction between perceived barriers and intention to consume pigeon pea (β = −0.04, p = 0.006), indicating that perceived barriers limit intention to consume pigeon pea.

Conclusion and Implication: Our findings indicate that when the caregiver places increased importance on preventing her school-aged child from being iron or protein deficient or indeed anemic (health value), it results in a positive evaluation of the effectiveness of giving pigeon pea to address these nutrient deficiencies. Programs and efforts aimed at promoting pigeon pea consumption should focus on educating caregivers on iron and protein deficiency and the role that pigeon pea could play in addressing these. However, perceived barriers such as pest infestation during storage need to be addressed to increase pigeon pea consumption. The involvement of post-harvest management specialists is therefore crucial. Along with this, increasing productivity and crop management is also crucial to ensure year-round affordable supply of pigeon pea.

Published: January 2022

Food trees contribute substantially to the food and nutrition security of millions of rural households in Africa. Farming communities prioritize tree and shrub species on farms based on a combination of factors, including their knowledge of potential uses the species' economic potential and a range of constraints and opportunities that each farmer faces depending on their position within the community and the household, in cultivating, harvesting and processing tree products. Gender and age are strong determinants of such constraints and opportunities as well as ecological knowledge and use of tree resources. This study contributes to the understanding of gender and generational preferences for food tree species that determine their use, and which contribute to food and nutrition security in Central Uganda and Eastern Kenya. Sixteen gender and age segregated focus group discussions were conducted to assess food tree species preferences. A total of 61 food tree species were listed −46 in Uganda (including 16 indigenous species) and 44 in Kenya (21 indigenous species). Results showed knowledge on food tree species differed by gender and age, with differences across gender lines found more prevalently in Uganda, and across generational lines in Kenya. Age-related differences in knowledge and preferences were clear with regard to indigenous species, whereby older women and men were found to have the most knowledge in both countries. Among key challenges for food tree cultivation, farming households mentioned knowledge of tree management, the lack of planting materials, especially for improved varieties, prolonged droughts and scarcity of land. Some of these constraints were gendered and generational, with women mostly mentioning lack of knowledge about planting and management as well as cultural restrictions, such as only having access to land when married; whereas younger men indicated management challenges such as pests, limited markets, as well as scarcity and limited ownership of land. Overall findings suggest that consulting user preferences for food tree species and constraints experienced by gender and age group could be important in the design of interventions which involve a diversity of food trees.
Laser-Induced Thermal Treatment of Superficial Human Tumors: An Advanced Heating Strategy and Non-Arrhenius Law for Living Tissues
Authors: Dombrovsky Leonid A.
Published: January 2022

The most interesting, but insufficiently known results obtained by the author in modeling laser-induced hyperthermia of human tumors are discussed. It is important that the traditional equation for the local bio-heat transfer does not work in superficial layers of the body. It is shown also that the classical Arrhenius law is not applicable to living tissues because of the tissue regeneration due to oxygen supplied by the arterial blood. The latter is one of the main reasons of the suggested strategy of laser heating of tumors in the therapeutic window of semitransparency when the tumor asphyxiation is considered as one of important weapons against the cancer. The other advantages of this advanced strategy of a soft thermal treatment (in few of sessions), which is painless for patients, are discussed as well. Some features of modeling various heat transfer modes are also considered. The best choice between the simplest differential models for the radiative transfer calculations is dependent of the particular problem statement. The known finite-difference or finite element algorithms can be preferable in solving transient heat transfer problems. As a rule, it depends on the shape of the computational region. It is expected that this paper will help the colleagues to overcome some typical weaknesses of computational modeling of infrared photothermal treatment of superficial tumors.
Support for Health Insurance Coverage for Legal Abortion in the United States
Authors: Henderson Charley , Yang Philip Q.
Published: January 2022

The use of health insurance to cover legal abortion is a controversial issue on which Americans are sharply divided. Currently, there is a lack of research on this issue as data became available only recently. Using data from the newly released General Social Survey in 2018, this study examines who is more or less likely to support health insurance coverage for legal abortion. The results show that the support and opposition were about evenly divided. The findings from the logistic regression analysis reveal that, holding other variables constant, Democrats, liberals, urban residents, the more educated, and the older were more likely to support health insurance coverage for legal abortion while women, Southerners, Christians, the currently married, and those with more children were less likely to favor it, compared to their respective counterparts. Additionally, the effect of education was stronger for liberals than for non-liberals. Race, family income, and full-time work status make no difference in the outcome. The findings have significant implications for research and practices in health insurance coverage for legal abortion.

O mundo tem atravessado momentos de tensão desde meados de 2020, ocasionado pelo SARS-CoV2, mais conhecido como COVID-19 ou também, Coronavírus. Considerando o alto impacto e gravidade num grau de pandemia, devido à facilidade na transmissão do vírus, as Organizações das Nações Unidas (ONU) decretaram então o isolamento social, afetando diretamente diversos seguimentos da sociedade, dentre eles, o sistema educacional brasileiro. Com o objetivo de não paralisar a oferta educacional, foi implementado o ensino remoto emergencial, porém nem todos os profissionais e alunos estavam preparados para a rapidez com que foi implementado esse modelo educacional. O presente trabalho acadêmico visa abordar os principais pontos que norteiam a implementação do ensino remoto emergencial e os aspectos que circundam a temática, além de discorrer sobre esse período de adaptação a este momento único na história da educação brasileira, não deixando de mencionar os aspectos positivos e negativos que compõem esse contexto educacional desbravador e que permitiu a adoção de um modelo disruptivo com um importante legado para a sociedade atual. Objetivou-se, portanto, uma abordagem acerca dos temas centrais relacionados à implementação de um modelo que não possui previsão normativo legal, contudo mostrou-se inegavelmente necessário para a continuação da oferta educacional. Afinal, através do ensino remoto emergencial que as atividades acadêmico-pedagógicas puderam ser ofertadas em todos os níveis educacionais no Brasil. Em verdade, alguns confundem o ensino remoto com o ensino a distância, porém poderemos ver adiante que há características que os distinguem.

Debates del exilio francés de Nueva York durante la ocupación nazi. Su recepción en la Revista de los intelectuales europeos en América (Buenos Aires, 1942-1946)
Authors: Lida Miranda
Published: January 2022

En 1942 comenzó a publicarse la Revista de los intelectuales europeos en América (RIEA), una revista cultural que tuvo un fuerte compromiso con el antifascismo y con la resistencia francesa. La situaremos en el mapa de las revistas culturales antifascistas y a la vez daremos cuenta de sus redes con el exilio intelectual francés en las Américas. Este contexto permite explicar el modo en que la revista cobijó los debates que atravesaron el campo de los exiliados franceses del exilio neoyorquino en torno de la resistencia encabezada por de Gaulle, porque si bien se trata de una revista que intentaba transmitir una imagen compacta del antifascismo, no pudo eludir las polémicas que se multiplicaron a medida que avanzaba la guerra. Nos detendremos en el debate que sostuvieron Antoine de Saint-Exupéry y Jacques Maritain, dos nombres de peso en el exilio intelectual de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Iluminar los debates que se dieron en el seno de la comunidad del exilio francés en las Américas y el modo en que hallaron eco en la Argentina, puede no sólo aportar nuevas miradas a temas que ya tienen una cierta presencia en la historiografía, sino además ayudar a pensar cómo circulaban y se recibían las ideas.
Antisemitismo, racismo y tercermundismo en Tacuara y sus agrupaciones derivadas (1959-1965)
Authors: Campos Esteban Javier
Published: January 2022

El propósito de este artículo es analizar el discurso sobre las razas en Tacuara y sus agrupaciones derivadas, en el contexto de las mutaciones transnacionales del racismo luego de la posguerra. En la primera parte del trabajo, se investigan las figuras del antisemitismo en el Movimiento Nacionalista Tacuara (MNT), el Movimiento Nueva Argentina (MNA) y el Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario Tacuara (MNRT), con posturas sobre la “cuestión judía” que oscilaron entre el racismo biológico, el racismo culturalista, el antisionismo y la crítica a la discriminación racial. En la segunda parte, se estudia la recepción de las categorías de raza, clase y tercer mundo en las dos fracciones que dividieron al MNRT. Para desarrollar estos argumentos, se examina la prensa política de estas organizaciones, como el periódico Tacuara. Vocero de la juventud nacionalista, el boletín Ofensiva, Barricada del nacionalismo revolucionario, Tacuara del manchón y Nueva Argentina. A la muestra se suman otros documentos provenientes de la Dirección de Inteligencia de la Policía de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (DIPBA), una entrevista al MNA de la revista Vea y Lea, semanarios como Primera Plana, Panorama y Mundo israelita.

Firefly algorithm applied to the job-shop scheduling problem
Authors: Świtalski Piotr , Bolesta Arkadiusz
Published: January 2022

The job shop scheduling problem (JSSP) is one of the most researched scheduling problems. This problem belongs to the NP-hard class. An optimal solution for this category of problems is rarely possible. We try to find suboptimal solutions using heuristics or metaheuristics. The firefly algorithm is a great example of a metaheuristic. In this paper, this algorithm is used to solve JSSP. We used some benchmarking JSSP datasets for experiments. The experimental program was implemented in the aitoa library. We investigated the optimal parameter settings of this algorithm in terms of JSSP. Analysis of the experimental results shows that the algorithm is useful to solve scheduling problems.
UPAYA PENCEGAHAN KANKER SERVIKS MELALUI PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN KESEHATAN REPRODUKSI WANITA DAN PEMERIKSAAN METODE IVA (INSPEKSI VISUAL ASAM ASETAT) DI WILAYAH KERJA PUSKESMAS GUNUNG LINGKAS

Kanker  leher  rahim  atau  disebut  juga  kanker  serviks  adalah  sejenis   kanker  yang  99,7% disebabkan oleh human papilloma virus (HPV) onkogenik, yang menyerang leher rahim. Kelompok berisiko untuk terjadinya kanker serviks adalah wanita di atas usia 30 tahun yang memiliki banyak anak dan dengan perilaku menjaga kesehatan reproduksi yang masih kurang. Kebiasaan gonta ganti pasangan seksual merupakan salah satu faktor utama penularan virus HPv penyebab kanker serviks ini terjadi. Di Indonesia hanya 5 persen yang melakukan penapisan kanker leher rahim, sehingga 76,6 persen pasien ketika terdeteksi sudah memasuki Stadium Lanjut (IIIB ke atas), karena kanker leher rahim biasanya tanpa gejala apapun pada stadium awalnya. Penapisan dapat dilakukan dengan melakukan tes  Pap smear dan juga Inspeksi Visual Asam Asetat (IVA). Di negara berkembang, penggunaan secara luas program pengamatan leher rahim mengurangi insiden kanker leher rahim yang invasif sebesar 50% atau lebih. Pada kegiatan ini akan dilakukan penyuluhan kepada kelompok berisiko tentang kesehatan organ reproduksi wanita. Isi dari penyuluhan memuat pengetahuan mengenai pengertian kanker serviks, gejala, faktor risiko dan juga cara pencegahannya. Setelah dilakukan penyuluhan akan disaring peserta penyuluhan yang bersedia untuk diikutkan dalam pemeriksaan skrining kanker serviks melalui metode IVA (Inspeksi Visual Asam asetat) pada hari berikutnya. Tujuan pemeriksaan ini adalah untuk memastikan bahwa tidak ditemukannya kelainan pada serviks dan jika memang ditemukan adanya kelainan pada serviks (dengan berbagai stadium) dapat disarankan tindakan pencegahan lebih  lanjut  agar  tidak  berkembang  menjadi  kanker.  Jika  ditemukan  pasien  yang  positif menderita kanker serviks juga akan diberikan saran agar segera memeriksaan diri ke rumahsakit untuk dilakukan penatalaksanaan segera.
