“At risk” and “vulnerable”! Reflections on inequities and the impact of COVID-19 on disabled people
Authors: Perry Meredith A. , Ingham Tristram , Jones Bernadette , Mirfin-Veitch Brigit
Published: December 2020

This professional perspective provides background knowledge and evidence to support reflection on disability outcomes internationally and in Aotearoa New Zealand. Over one billion people live with disability worldwide. Approximately 4.5% of the world’s population live with significant difficulties in function, activity, and participation. In Aotearoa New Zealand, approximately 1.1 million (24%) people have a disability, making disability the largest minority group. Yet disabled people face extreme health inequities. These are exacerbated when response planning and service delivery during times of humanitarian emergency, such as COVID-19, fail to include and consider the impact decisions will have for disabled people. Disabled people are more “at risk” of contracting COVID-19, and some disabled people are “at risk” of poorer health outcomes from COVID-19. However, “vulnerability” arises from the continuation and exacerbation of discriminatory policies, including health professionals’ conscious and unconscious biases, in times of crisis but also within conventional health service delivery. As part of the health system, it is perhaps timely for physiotherapists to reflect upon their knowledge of the health inequities disabled people experience, and to consider personal and collective bias. There are strategies physiotherapists might adopt to challenge interpersonal, internalised, and institutional bias. These steps will help affirm disability inclusiveness at all levels of the health system and support a human rights expectation that all New Zealanders should have equitable health outcomes.
Dynamics of Infected Predator-Prey System with Nonlinear Incidence Rate and Prey in Refuge
Authors: Firdiansyah Adin Lazuardy
Published: December 2020

A predator-prey system with nonlinear incidence rate and refuging in prey is proposed to describe behavior change of certain infected diseases on healthy prey when the number of infected prey is getting large, while predator can predate prey by accessing refuging in prey. Therefore, this paper discusses the dynamics behavior predator-prey model with the spread of infected disease that is denoted by nonlinear incidence rate and adding prey refuge. We find the existence of eight non-negative equilibrium in the model, which their local stability has been determined. Furthermore, we also observe the prey refuge properties in the model. We find that prey refuge can prevent extinction in prey populations. In the end, some numerical solutions are carried out to illustrate our analytic results. For future work, we can investigate the harvesting effect in both populations, which is disease control in the predator-prey model with the spread of infected disease.
Determining of Risk Factors of Low-Birthweight Babies in Padang, West Sumatra Using Logistic Regression Analysis
Authors: Yozza Hazmira , Yanuar Ferra , Rahmi Izzati , Alisya Nadya Putri
Published: December 2020

Infant mortality is one of the indicators used to measure the quality of life of a nation. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that one of the main causes of infant mortality is the low birth weight (LBW). Efforts to reduce the incidence of LBW can be done by monitoring risk factors that influence the occurrence of LBW in the prenatal phase. This study aims to identify factors that significantly influence the incidence of LBW babies in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The analysis was carried out by using Logistic Regression Analysis on the data of maternal births domiciled in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. It was concluded that variables that significantly affect the incidence of LBW are maternal weight, parity, distance from a previous birth, problems during pregnancy, and babies’ gender.
Dynamics of Predator-Prey Model Interaction with Harvesting Effort
Authors: Ikbal Muhammad , Riskawati
Published: December 2020

In this research, we study and construct a dynamic prey-predator model. We include an element of intraspecific competition in both predators. We formulated the Holling type I response function for each predator. We consider all populations to be of economic value so that they can be harvested. We analyze the positive solution, the existence of the equilibrium points, and the stability of the balance points. We obtained the local stability condition by using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion approach. We also simulate the model. This research can be developed with different response function formulations and harvest optimization.
The boundless riches of God
Authors: Scott David D.
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the concept of infinity in mathematics and its relation to theological considerations. It begins by seeking to answer the question of whether mathematical enquiry into the character of infinity may cast some light on the infinite character of God. Drawing on the work of Euclid, Cantor, and Gödel in particular, it considers concepts of potential and actual infinity and how mathematical discoveries have implications for (i) the relation of the finite and infinite (which has theological implications for the incarnation); (ii) the relation of theory and reality; (iii) the future scope of discovery and invention; and (iv) further reflection on the givenness of revelation.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the protocols on decontamination/reuse of N95 masks available in the literature in times of the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: Integrative literature review, in the period from 2010 to 2020, on the databases MEDLINE/PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, SAGE journals, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and Wiley, with the descriptors Masks AND Respiratory protective devices; Mask OR N95 AND Covid-19; N95 AND Respirators; Decontamination AND N95 AND Coronavirus; Facemask OR Pandemic. Results: Twelve studies were included, of which 3 (30.0%) used ultraviolet germicidal irradiation and indicated mask deterioration between 2 and 10 cycles, 4 (40.0%) used hydrogen peroxide vapor, and seal loss varied from 5 to 20 cycles, 4 (33.3%) evaluated the structural integrity of the N95 mask through visual inspection and 6 (54.4%), its filtration efficiency. Conclusion: Reuse strategies to overcome a shortage of devices in the face of the pandemic challenge the current concept for good practices in health-product processing.
Pressure infiltration characteristics of foam for EPB shield tunnelling in saturated sand – part 1: ‘clean’ foam
Authors: Xu Tao , Bezuijen Adam , Thewes Markus
Published: December 2020

Infiltration of pressurised foam into saturated sand was investigated in a laboratory set-up that provided an hydraulic gradient comparable to real tunnels. Four different stages were identified in the infiltration: ‘foam spurt’ (the foam infiltration into the pores of the sand); water flow with reduced permeability; water flow with increased permeability; and a residual stage. It appears that the infiltration depth of foam into sand decreases with increasing foam expansion ratio (FER) of the foam until a limit FER (approximately 15 for the foaming agent and sand used in this experiment). For higher FERs the permeability remains more or less constant. It was also found that a ‘dry’ foam (FER = 20) is not essential for formation of a low-permeability layer at the sand surface; even a ‘wet’ foam (FER = 5) can form a low-permeability layer. Furthermore, a foam-infiltrated zone is essential to achieve a low-permeability layer. In these tests, the flow velocities were lower than the normal excavation velocity of a tunnel-boring machine. Thus there was no foam-infiltrated zone and consequently no zone with low permeability during drilling. By comparing the pore pressures measured using pore pressure transducers with and without hydrophilic filter papers, the capillary pressure in the foam-infiltrated sand was found.
Uma leitura hermenêutica do prefácio “Sobre a escova e a dúvida” da obra Tutaméia (1967) de João Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Campelo Wanúbya Do Nascimento Moraes , De Oliveira Holanda Sílvio Augusto
Published: December 2020

De maio de 1965 a julho de 1967, Guimarães Rosa publicou pequenos contos no jornal médico Pulso, do Rio de Janeiro: editado pelo laboratório de Sidney Ross; dirigido pelo doutor Roberto de Souza Coelho, que circulou entre médicos do Brasil inteiro. O autor mineiro enviou 56 contos para o Pulso, dos quais 44 foram republicados, com algumas modificações, em sua derradeira obra Tutaméia (1967). A inovadora publicação, possui quatro prefácios, e “Sobre a Escova e a Dúvida” é o derradeiro destes, este texto foi publicado primeiramente no jornal Pulso em 15 de maio de 1965. O persente trabalho tem como escopo fazer uma leitura hermenêutica da problematização referente à criação literária apresentada pelo autor mineiro no referido texto, ressaltar-se-á neste Prefácio, o fazer literário rosiano, observando nele, sua visão poética da realidade. Neste texto, como afirma, (SIMÕES, 1988) “chega-se ao ponto central da poética do autor: a função da literatura.”. Neste diapasão, entende-se que este prefácio pode ser o ponto de partida para as indagações do autor em torno da literatura. Assim, esta obra enigmática precisa ser estudada em seu diálogo metalinguístico sobre a expressão literária como um plano metafísico que rompe com os planos da lógica. Como referencial teórico para esta análise utilizaremos (ANDRADE, 2004), (COVIZZI, 1978), (NOVIS, 1989).

Reproducible Analyses in Educational Research
Authors: LeBeau Brandon C , Aloe Ariel M , Ellison Scott
Published: December 2020

A reproducible analysis is one in which an independent entity, using the same data and the same statistical code, would obtain the exact same result as the previous analyst. Reproducible analyses utilize script based analyses and open data to aid in the reproduction of the analysis. A reproducible analysis does not ensure the same results are obtained if another sample of data are obtained, often referred to replicability. Reproduction and replication of studies are discussed as well as the overwhelming benefits of creating a reproducible analysis workflow. A tool is proposed to aid in the evaluation of studies to describe which elements a study has a strong reproducible workflow and areas that could be improved. This tool is meant to serve as a discussion tool, not to rank studies or devalue studies that are unable to share data or statistical code. Finally, discussion surrounding reproducibility for qualitative studies are discussed along with unique challenges for adopting a reproducible analysis framework.

The Era of Mercy. Ways of Criminality Development
Authors: Zhmurov Dmitry , Protasyevich Alexander , Kostromina Alena
Published: December 2020

The article examines certain aspects of the global development of criminality in the near future. Particular emphasis is placed on several trends that are already manifesting themselves at the present time: a) growing virtualization of criminality; b) reduction of effectiveness (performance) of some forms of criminal violence; c) increase of conspiracy of criminal activity; d) growing rates of «victimless crime». In analyzing these indicators, the article offers a hypothesis of the «humanization» of modern criminality, which manifests in reducing the number of violent crimes, as less effective in the current historical context. It considers some particular examples of criminal activity that confirm the authors' conclusions (for example, cookie-dropping, hidden mining, unobvious frauds). In general, an analysis of the current state of affairs allows to make a conclusion about the extremely topical issue of systematic and comprehensive assessment of the expected Internet threats, comparative study of methods to counter them in the context of various legal systems and the ability of national legislation to adequately respond to new challenges.

At the moment, the actual problem is the search for new insecticides. The use of the same insecticides over the years has led to the emergence of resistant insect populations. Every year the number of resistant populations increases. However, the most dangerous and economically significant species are usually resistant to a large number of pesticides over a large area. There is a need to introduce new groups of chemical compounds into IPM. Indoxacarb and chlorfenapyr-based products are highly effective broad-spectrum drugs. Both insecticides have a strong effect on insects in the form of bait.

Estudo Comparativo de Custos: Compostagem como estratégia complementar ao Aterro Sanitário no gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos urbanos de Paraíba do Sul, RJ
Authors: Souza Alice Magalhães Garcia , Vazquez Elaine Garrido
Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar dois cenários simulados de Gestão de Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos na cidade de Paraíba do Sul - Rio de Janeiro, utilizando indicadores de custos e prevendo uma possibilidade local e autossustentável de valorização de resíduos. O primeiro cenário é a disposição de todos os resíduos sólidos no aterro privado de Três Rios, município vizinho. O segundo cenário é o tratamento da fração orgânica dos resíduos em um projeto de compostagem local, aliado à disposição dos resíduos remanescentes no aterro citado. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa exploratória quantitativa, baseada em três estimativas: geração de resíduos sólidos municipais (total e orgânicos de grandes geradores); custos para coleta (convencional e seletiva de orgânicos); e custos para disposição final e tratamento de resíduos (aterro e pátio de compostagem). Foram avaliados 10 bairros do núcleo municipal, escolhidos conforme a continuidade do tecido urbano. Os resultados mostraram uma diferença inferior a R$ 10.000,00 por mês entre os custos totais estimados para cada cenário, sendo a segunda simulação mais cara. Entretanto, para o segundo cenário existe a possibilidade de geração de renda através da venda do composto, o que poderia cobrir o custo excedente. Assim, este estudo pretende contribuir para a discussão sobre tratamentos alternativos de resíduos em cidades menores, que em geral não podem arcar sozinhas com os custos de implantação e manutenção de um aterro próprio.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of participating in the Volunteer Management Mentoring Program on entrepreneurship tendency and leadership self-efficacy. The Volunteer Management Mentoring Program was created by UNICEF and conducted within the scope of the Social Sensitivity course taught at Kilis 7 Aralik University, Turkey. This research was designed as a semi-experimental study with pretest-posttest experiment and control groups. Entrepreneurship Scale and Leadership Self-Efficacy Scale were applied to the students in the experimental and control groups as pretest and posttest. While the students in the experimental group participated in the Volunteer Management Mentoring Program in the process; the students in the control group did not participate in any program. The study group was determined using the criterion sampling method and consisted of 26 university students studying at Kilis 7 Aralik University in the 2019-2020 academic year. 13 students were in the experimental group and 13 in the control group. Personal Information Form, Entrepreneurship Scale for University Students, and Leadership Self-Efficacy Scale were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using SPSS package program. Two-factor repeated-measures ANOVA technique was used in the analysis. The findings showed that mentor university students who participated in the Volunteer Management Mentoring Program increased their scores for the entrepreneurship scale after the program was completed. According to another finding, participation in the Volunteer Mentoring Management Program had no significant effect on the leadership self-efficacy scores of mentor students.

Overexpression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and subchondral bone remodelling play key roles in osteoarthritis (OA). Raloxifene (RAL) reduces the serum level of TGF-β1 in postmenopausal women. However, the effect of RAL on TGF-β1 expression in articular cartilage is still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of RAL on osteoporotic osteoarthritis via affecting TGF-β1 expression in cartilage and the metabolism of subchondral bone. Osteoporotic osteoarthritis was induced by a combination of anterior cruciate transection (ACLT) and ovariectomy (OVX). Rats were divided into five groups (n = 12): The sham group, the ACLT group, the OVX group, the ACLT + OVX group, and the RAL group (ACLT + OVX + RAL, 6.25 mg/kg/day for 12 weeks). Assessment was performed by histomorphology, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) scan, immunohistochemistry, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. We found that severe cartilage degeneration was shown in the ACLT + OVX group. The histomorphological scores, the levels of TGF-β1, and its related catabolic enzymes and osteoclasts numbers in the ACLT + OVX group were higher than those in other groups (p < 0.05). Furthermore, structure model index (SMI) and trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) were decreased (p < 0.05), while bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), and trabecular number (Tb.N) were increased by RAL compared with the ACLT + OVX group (p < 0.05). Our findings demonstrated that RAL in clinical doses retards the development of osteoporotic osteoarthritis by inhibiting the overexpression of TGF-β1 in cartilage and regulating the metabolism of subchondral bone. These results provide support for RAL in the expansion of clinical indication for prevention and treatment in postmenopausal osteoarthritis.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Rhinoplasty is an esthetic and functional nasal reconstruction surgery. The elimination of physical disabilities directly affects mental health and leads to a better psychological balance. Therefore, patient satisfaction is considered a valuable measure of medical service outcomes. The objectives of this study were to evaluate subjective patient satisfaction 1 year after surgery and its influence on the quality of life.Methods: This was a clinical, retrospective, randomized, and single-blinded study in which patients were randomly questioned by the same examiner. All subjects underwent pre-operative preparation and post-operative flow at Eurofarm Centre from 2007 to 2010. The survey was conducted through anonymous questionnaires that were provided to each respondent at least 1 year after discharge from the hospital.Results: Overall, 20 (50%) patients had esthetic and 20 (50%) had functional nasal surgery. Most respondents were born between 1971 and 1980 (52.5%) and between 1981 and 1991 (40%), with the least born between 1951 and 1960 (2.5%). Regarding the education level, 27 had university degrees (67.5%), 1 had postgraduate education (2.5%), and 12 (30.0%) were secondary school graduates. In addition, 25 (62.5%) were unmarried and 15 (37.5%) were married.Conclusion: No statistically significant correlation was found between the subjective assessment of patient’s health based on eight dimensions of health assessment and variables such as type of surgery, age, level of education, and marital status 1 year after undergoing rhinoplasty. A statistically significant difference was found between the type of surgery and physical pain (p = 0.004 < 0.05, Mann–Whitney U test). Based on the research findings, we can conclude that patient satisfaction after undergoing rhinoplasty was moderately correlated positively with the quality of life (r = 0.180-0.345, p < 0.05).

Published: December 2020

The energy flows of the double skin, glass-glass façades have been analysed, establishing a mathematical model to determine the energy savings provided by this construction solution in 10 cities in Spain. It has been found that the two climatological variables that most influence energy savings are outdoor temperature, as it is directly related to the demand for heating, and solar irradiation, as it is the source of energy from which savings are extracted. Energy savings in winter vary between 11.1% and 20.5%, depending on the weather. A linear relationship between the annual average outdoor temperature and the useful energy provided by the double- skin façade has been determined. It was verified that the maximum energy saving occurs when the façade is offset a few degrees to the east from the pure south orientation. It deviates further east, the higher the annual average temperature. A linear relationship has been established between the outside temperature and the azimuth of the façade with which the maximum energy saving occurs. To obtain savings percentages greater than 20%, the ratio between the double-skin façade surface and the total heated surface of the building must be less than 7.

Introducción: las restauraciones de dióxido de zirconio estabilizadas con ytrio para prótesis parciales fijas e implanto soportadas se han utilizado por su alta resistencia flexional. En la revisión bibliográfica no se encontraron estudios que comparen la resistencia flexional del dióxido de zirconio con 2 tiempos de sinterizaciones diferentes. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en comparar la resistencia flexional de láminas elaboradas en 3 tipos de dióxido de zirconio con 2 tiempos de sinterización. Método: en este estudio in vitro, se recolectaron 3 discos de dióxido de zirconio (Upcera: Súper translúcido (ST): 1200 MPa, Multicapa (ML): 600 MPa y Alta translucidez (HT): 1200 MPa), y en un aparato de corte Isomet® se recortaron 60 láminas de 2 mm de espesor, ancho de 5 mm y longitud de 37 mm. Estas láminas se distribuyeron aleatoriamente en dos grupos de 30: el grupo uno se sinterizó por 8 horas a 1.530°C y el otro grupo se sometió a sinterización rápida por 3 horas a 1.530°C. La resistencia flexional se midió en una máquina universal Instrom® 3366. Los resultados fueron convertidos de N a MPa y se compararon mediante análisis de varianza y prueba t. Resultados: no hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa al comparar la resistencia flexional después de dos tiempos de sinterización diferentes (p>0,05). Conclusiones: no se presentaron diferencias significativas en la resistencia flexional del dióxido de zirconio al comparar los promedios obtenidos con dos técnicas de tiempo de sinterización diferente.
Muros poéticos: La práctica artística como una herramienta de transformación social y cultural en el contexto urbano
Authors: Figueras Ferrer Eva
Published: December 2020

Para muchos artistas urbanos nacidos en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, la calle es el marco y el soporte de sus propuestas creativas. A través de sus mensajes poéticos la reivindican como espacio para el arte y se convierten en constructores de ambientes y de formas de vida integral, ya que conciben el espacio urbano como la suma de espacio físico y psíquico con el que interactúa el peatón generando un proceso creativo.

Algunas de las intervenciones urbanas de naturaleza participativa se proyectan y ejecutan con una clara aportación social y educativa. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar distintos proyectos urbanos colaborativos de creación artística que inviten a cuestionar aspectos de la sociedad y promover, por lo tanto, un arte y una sensibilización educativa inclusiva, que aporten valores igualitarios que permitan afrontar retos como la conciencia de la ecología, el hambre, la violencia machista y, por supuesto, cambiar actitudes y comportamientos.
