Authors: Shashin A. , Sheps R. , Seminenko A. , Minko V.
Published: March 2021

Exhaust ventilation systems in industrial enterprises and facilities with the use of harmful substances largely determine the air exchange in the workplace to ensure normalized sanitary and hygienic conditions and operating costs. Local exhaust ventilation of explosive harmful substances is of particular importance for effective air exchange in such rooms, since their localization, suction and transportation are subject to increased requirements. The paper presents the results of analytical and experimental studies of the operation mode of a complex local exhaust device with a gas ejector for extraction explosive harmful chemicals from shelters, ensuring their effective localization, purification and recirculation of air. The boundary conditions and assumptions for calculating the characteristics of the processes of gas flow ejection, purification of technological emissions and recirculation of the purified gas flow, determined on the basis of the analysis of previously performed studies and experimental work, are given. The conditions of rational ratios device settings of extraction of emissions sources of substances that parameters of the ejector and cleaning device emission, which is achieved economic and environmental efficiency of the installation and excludes the volatile situation on the threat of chemical enterprises and objects.

Authors: Igolkin N.
Published: March 2021

The article is a continuation of the research devoted to the development of the spatial -planning structure of Murmansk in the 1920s – 1950s. The stages of development of architecture and the logic of its historical development are determined on the basis of an analysis of the stages of development of the urban structure, the historically established urban planning situation and the archival documents of Murmansk. The article describes the specifics and defines the stylistic features of the Murmansk architecture of the identified periods on the example of characteristic buildings on separate segments of the main city highway – Lenin Prospekt. A brief architectural analysis of the buildings that are valuable elements of the spatial-planning structure of the historical center of Murmansk is carried out: spatial, stylistic dominants and accents, plastic accents. The objects under consideration form the planning units, the street rhythm and the building. To identify the specificity and value characteristics of Murmansk architecture, a brief comparison of the compositional techniques and stylistics of the buildings of Murmansk and Leningrad in the 1930s - 1950s is carried out. The contribution of Leningrad architects to the design of Murmansk and the formation of its spatial and planning structure and architectural appearance is noted. The article contains schematic diagrams of separate segments of the building, photographic materials, archival photographs and documents.
“No consienta que el encomendero nos obligue a servicios personales ni nos maltrate”. Violencia y castigos infrajudiciales en un Pueblo de indios riojano, fines del siglo XVII
Authors: García Marisol
Published: March 2021

Este artículo analiza los castigos y malos tratos que reciben los indígenas del Pueblo de Guaco -La Rioja, Gobernación del Tucumán, Virreinato del Perú- a fines del siglo XVII, desde un corpus documental compuesto por un juicio y la Visita de Luján de Vargas. Para determinar la legitimidad de los castigos aplicados se examinará la legislación y las normativas vigentes para los Pueblos de indios, junto a los testimonios indígenas y del encomendero. Se mostrará que la violencia era utilizada como mecanismo de coacción infrajudicial por la potestad de ciertos cargos, en un contexto donde seguían vigentes prácticas de servicio personal. Luego, se buscará captar el imaginario hispano-criollo subyacente en estos ejercicios coercitivos, observando qué es lo que teme o quiere impedir el estamento dominante a través de la violencia y el amedrentamiento. Finalmente, se reflexionará sobre las múltiples dimensiones que poseen los castigos y se mencionarán algunas estrategias indígenas para denunciarlos.

Published: March 2021

In recent years, growing technology has affected people’s communication. Not only speaking and listening but also writing has an important role in communication. Particularly, devices have changed and applications have varied thanks to spreading mobile hardware. The aim of this study is to explore the usage status and preferences of students for mobile on-screen keyboards. In this regard, 20 common keyboard programs offered for IOS and Android platforms were examined. A question pool including various items about the features of these programs was created for the survey to be used. The developed survey consists of 27 items, 26 of which are three-point Likert types and one of which is semi-structured type. During the study, 238 participants completed the survey. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for the collected data, and participants’ preferences were determined. The results conclude that student mostly has used the keyboard for the WhatsApp application. While the most preferred features are local character support, frequently used words, voice message sending, vertical or horizontal usage, key response time, typing with swipe keyboard was the least preferred one by the participants.
The Development Process of a Coding Game Engine for Culture Transfer in Social Sciences Education: SIGUN
Authors: İneç Zekeriya Fatih
Published: March 2021

This study aimed to explain the development stages of an online coding application engine (SIGUN) according to the R2D2 instructional design model to support and develop cultural transfer in social sciences education and popularize the national culture. During the definition phase of R2D2, analyzes of needs, learner, task and content were made. In needs analysis, it was decided to develop a coding application that transfers national culture instead of transnational culture in coding education. In the analysis of learners, the coding skills of the students at different grades were examined through samples, and it was decided that SIGUN should be editable according to their developmental characteristics. It was planned to assign tasks to learners in task analysis and to fictionalize the tasks in the prototype through Dede Korkut stories in content analysis. In the design and development phase of R2D2, it was decided to create an online system choosing media and equipment. Subsequently, the design and development process of SIGUN was started creating a draft graphic design interface through determining the development environments. In this sense, a web-based coding engine was developed with various coding languages. The rapid prototype was analyzed for process evaluation as being equipped with national culture elements and thus, the final version was created. Due to its dynamic structure, SIGUNwas can be adapted for different developmental stages of children and popularized while transferring abstract and concrete cultural elements with animations.
Role of Commerce Education on Growing India’s Economy
Authors: Tabasum Heena , Venkatesh S
Published: March 2021

Commerce education plays a very important role in economic growth. It is one of the keys which lead to success in all sectors of the economy. Commerce education has gained such importance because activities relating to commerce are also affected when the business cycle is going well. Through commerce education, students are exposed to the environment of the business world. It enables the importance of smearing economic ideologies while making business decisions. It makes them aware of social, economic, and political problems. Commerce outfits to the distribution trait of any business. Production must be consumed; there exists a suitable distribution channel to aid this consumption. And that is what commerce does by creating a market for surplus products. It has widened up the global market and has been similarly useful in hastening the practice of exchange in local markets around the globe. It is already established that good commerce plays a tremendous role in the economic development of the country. An attempt is made to analyze the role of commerce education in the growing economy of India.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RADIOLOGIC ASPECTS OF FACET JOINTS IN SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH DEGENERATIVE DISEASES OF THE LUMBAR SPINE
Authors: Krivoshein A. Ye. , Konev V. P. , Kolesov S. V. , Moskovsky S. N.
Published: March 2021

Objective To study the radiologic characteristics of facet joints at different stages of the degenerative process in the lumbar spine to determine the indications for various methods of fixing the affected segment and to evaluate the results of treatment.

Material and Methods To determine the radiologic aspects of facet joints in the affected area and in  adjacent segments of the lumbar spine, two groups were formed, including 136 patients who underwent multispiral computed tomography in two-energy mode before surgery and 12 months after surgery. Group I included patients who underwent rigid fixation of the spine (360°), and group II included patients who underwent dynamic fixation using nitinol rods (180°).

Results Based on a comprehensive instrumental study, it was found that the degeneration of the intervertebral disc according to Pfirrmann II and III revealed an increase in the density of the cartilaginous plate in facet joints (HU). These digital indicators confirm the preservation of joint functionality, both in the affected area and in adjacent segments. With severe degrees of disk degeneration in Pfirrmann IV and V and facet joints, deep pathological changes occurred, directed towards the loss of facet joints functionality.

Conclusion The obtained digital indicators of dual-energy computed tomography for the state of facet joints  in combination with the results of magnetic resonance imaging can be used as criteria in a complex of patient studies to assess the degree of degeneration of the vertebral motion segment in the affected area and adjacent segments. We recommend using these criteria as a diagnostic component for finding optimal methods of surgical treatment.

Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is an inammatory CNS syndrome distinct from multiple sclerosis (MS) that is associated with serum aquaporin-4
immunoglobulin G antibodies (AQP4-IgG) or rarely with Anti -MOG antibodies (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein-IgG). Anti-NMDAR
encephalitis classically presents with Neuro-psychiatric symptoms, including memory decits, seizures, frequent dyskinesia, autonomic
dysfunction, reduced consciousness, and hypoventilation. Although rare, the coexistence of autoimmune encephalitis with demyelinating
disorders should be considered in presence of atypical symptoms.
We present a case of a patient with overlapping clinical features of NMOSD and Anti-NMDAR encephalitis presenting with difculty in voiding
urine, constipation, abnormal behavior, and cognitive impairment as the chief ndings on presentation.

Authors: Kumar Rajesh , Kumari Nikki , Singh Binod Kumar , Ansari Md. Athar
Published: March 2021

Background: Hypoglycemia is one of the commonest metabolic complications seen during neonatal period. In healthy newborns low blood glucose may not have much signicance and merely reect normal metabolic adaptation to extra-uterine life. However, in high-risk newborns, prolonged and/or recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia may negatively affect neurological and developmental prognosis. The incidence of hypoglycemia varies worldwide depending upon the blood sugar measurement protocols and feeding policies. There is paucity of data on incidence of hypoglycemia in institutions where exclusive breastfeeding is followed. Aims and Objectives: To determine the incidence and associated risk factors of hypoglycemia in rst 72 hours of life among exclusively breastfed healthy high-risk newborns.Study Design: Observational study Setting: Department of Pediatrics, Nalanda Medical College and Hospital Patna, Bihar, India. Period: From 1st July 2019 to 31st December 2019. Material & Methods: The Observational study enrolled 560 exclusively breastfed high-risk newborns (infant of diabetic mother (IGDM/IDM), large-for-gestation (birth weight >90th percentile), small-for-gestation (birth weight <10th percentile), low birth weight (>1800 to <2500 grams) and late preterm), who did not require admission to neonatal intensive care unit and were kept in postnatal wards with mother. Babies on formula or pre-lacteal feed, major congenital malformations and admitted in NICU for other reasons were excluded from the study. Hypoglycemia screening was done at 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of life, prior to feeding. Hypoglycemia was dened as blood glucose ≤40 mg/dL(2.2 mmol/L). Blood glucose was estimated from heel prick capillary samples using glucometer. Association of both maternal and neonatal risk factors was studied in relation to hypoglycemia. Result: Incidence of hypoglycemia in high-risk newborns was 27.1%. Incidence was signicantly higher in pre-term, low birth weight, Small-for-gestation age babies delivered to mothers with BMI >30 kg/m2, born through caesarean section. Conclusion: in high-risk exclusively breast fed neonates blood glucose level should be regularly monitored for at least 1st 72 hours of life with special attention to 1st 24 hours.

Published: March 2021

Perianal abscess is a common surgical emergency in India, representing a spectrum of clinical infectious conditions across age groups and gender.
[1][2][3] It is associated with signicant morbidity and prolonged postoperative recovery period. Etiology is multifactorial, and several organisms have
been isolated from cultures, the most common being Gram negative organisms. With misuse of antibiotics, several microorganisms have now
[4][5] become resistant to what were earlier the gold standard and rst line of treatment. A retrospective study on 100 patients with perianal abscess
who underwent surgery in the form of Incision and Drainage at JSS Hospital, Mysuru was done. Patients were studied for clinical and
microbiological data, viz. Age, gender, presenting complaints, culture and sensitivity reports, organism isolated, resistance etc. Results showed a
signicant number of patients with perianal abscess had underlying comorbidities such as Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension. Majority of
the organisms isolated were Gram negative bacilli, with signicant levels of resistance to cephalosporins. However, no signicant difference in
resistance levels were seen in patients with and those without comorbidities. Perianal abscess is an infectious pathology of the perianal region,
causing signicant morbidity. The most common organisms isolated are gram negative bacilli, with signicant levels of resistance to lower
generation of antibiotics. Empirically starting higher generation antibiotics, while at the same time judicious use of antibiotics in patients who
present early, may help in enhanced recovery postoperatively, and may help to reduce levels of resistance in the future.

سعت اثيوبيا الى اتباع سياسة توسعية في منطقة القرن الافريقي، وقد التقت أهدافها مع أهداف الاستعمار الأوربي، اذ تمكنت وبعد انعقاد مؤتمر برلين عام 1884 – 1885 من انتزاع اقليم الصومال الغربي وضمه تحت لوائها. لما يتمتع به الاقليم من ثروات معدنية كالفضة والنحاس والحديد، فضلاعن أراضيه الخصبة الصالحة للرعي مما أدى ذلك الى دخول البلدين في حربين خلال الاعوام 1964 و1978، ولم تحقق اي منهما أهدافها السياسية والعسكرية، بل العكس فقد ادت الى تدهور الاوضاع السياسية في كلا البلدين. ومن ثم زعزعت الاستقرار في منطقة القرن الافريقي، وذلك من خلال السماح للقوى الاقليمية والدولية بالتدخل من أجل وضع حد للخلافات السياسية بين البلدين والتي وضحت معالمها خلال حكم الرؤساء الذين تعاقبوا على حكم كلا البلدين.
اعادة النظر في تمثيل الوحش: الجمالية الطوباوية في رواية فرانكشتاين في بغداد لأحمد السعداوي
Authors: Hassen Sabeeh Qasem , Ramazan Kiaee Dr. Hussein
Published: March 2021

Monsters throughout history are always explained in terms of abjection, horror and something to be avoided in order that the system and regulation of society to be restored. Following the dynamic conception of contemporary utopia, the present paper aims at analyzing the monster or the violence in Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad  (FB) 2014 in terms of utopian site of hope, freedom and justice. It intends to show in what ways the issue of the “neo-Utopianism” or a desire for grand narratives is addressed in contemporary Iraqi fiction and why this issue is significant in post- postmodern thought. The paper revolves around post-traditional thinking of monster through investigating how a monster is related to a collective desire of hope for better roles in relation to the multiple societal crises. Other than an abject or “Other”, the value of creating such a monster is to introduce a new vision to the reader accomplished with the hope and salvation instead of the fragile spirit that comes from the postmodern failure and destruction. Within this conception the paper unfolds three routes that explicitly address a utopian desire: the body, the name and the aim or the message. The article, moreover, uncovers a new dimension of monstrosity in Iraqi literature which marks a shift from postmodernism to new era characterized by a utopian revival. The paper concludes that the monster is given a new voice and vision to be accepted in symbolic order unlike its traditional image in Gothic literature, one to speak about horror or monstrosity.

Low carbon steel metal is a type of steel that has poor corrosion resistance. For that it is necessary to protect against corrosion through a coating process. In this case the coating is carried out using solid metal and is known as cladding. In this cladding process using another metal as a coating medium, namely stainless steel, the specimen will be given additional deformation from the outside in the form of pressure and the heating process is carried out above the recrystallization temperature (950oC) then cooled slowly in free air. The heating process of the specimens was carried out with three temperature variations, namely 750oC, 850oC and 950oC with a holding time of 60 minutes, from the research results obtained that the specimens and the highest temperature, 950 oC, had better metal bonds compared to specimens at temperatures of 750 and 850oC with hardness values. average 227.96 VHN.
ТОВАРОЗНАВЧА ОЦІНКА ТА ПРОГНОЗУВАННЯ ВАРТОСТІ ІКОН
Authors: ІНДУТНИЙ В.В. , ЗОЛОТАРЬОВА О.Г. , ПОХОДЯЩА О.Б.
Published: March 2021

Мета. Опис одного з можливих способів оцінки якості та прогнозування вартості іконописних творів, а також опис прикладів такої оцінки, які є обґрунтованими результатами досліджень стану ринку відповідних товарів.
Методика. Для досягнення поставленої мети були використані методи протокольного порівняльного аналізу зразків, що підлягають оцінці, з окремими об’єктами, виділеними в системі споріднених об’єктів, які вже оцінені та представлені на відкритому ринку. Таким чином, досягаються вимоги щодо обґрунтованості, відтворюваності та доступності для верифікації результатів прогнозування, а також їх корекції при наявності змін на антикварному та мистецькому ринках.
Результати. За результатами досліджень встановлено, що в основі формування уявлень про якість лежать гуманітарні потреби особистості в справлянні соціокультурних обрядів «причастя-відлучення» та «обдаровування-віддаровування». Водночас, в основі формування цінових покажчиків на ринку, головне значення відіграють фінансові можливості потенційного покупця. Номенклатурне визначення якості ікон встановлюється на основі врахування сукупності корисної інформації про них, яку обліковують за допомогою відповідей на критеріальні запитання, описані в спеціальному протоколі. Прогнозовані показники вартості ікон потрібні для визначення можливих фінансових збитків у разі втрати пам’ятки культури або наявності майнових спорів; як орієнтовні показники можливої ринкової вартості (за умови наявності попиту) або показники в фінансових операціях – страхові суми, вартість застави, вартість оренди та інше. Прогнозування вартості не можна здійснювати за кінцевими результатами аукціонних торгів споріднених предметів, адже у цьому випадку рефлекторно враховується невмотивована компонента, пов’язана з індивідуальними суб’єктивними потребами покупців. За участі в аукціонних торгах важливим фактором успіху слід вважати швидкий вихід предмета до рівня першої кваліметричної точки. Активність учасників ринку в цьому інтервалі дозволяє більш ґрунтовно передбачити результати у межах перша-друга кваліметрична точка.
Наукова новизна. Розроблено оптимальну за часом виконання методику прогнозування вартості ікон для задоволення потреб професійних оцінювачів в завданнях визначення рівня фінансових збитків в результаті втрати пам’ятки культури (або часткової втрати), обґрунтування страхових сум, облікової вартості, очікуваних вартісних показників при продажу на вільному ринку, а також в операціях оренди, застави, оцінки безхазяйного майна.
Практична значимість. Проведено дослідження сучасного ринку ікон, виділено основні чинники формування уявлень про їх якість та розроблено теоретичні товарознавчі засади для здійснення оцінки якості та прогнозування вартості. Зазначені розробки мають високе практичне значення: сприятимуть збереженню цієї групи художніх та історичних пам’яток й впровадженню відповідних знань в сферу культури, національного виховання й освіти.
Comparative study of the components of the quality of working life
Authors: Castellano Nélida del Carmen , López Esteban Damián
Published: March 2021

Our line of research in 17 years has been Total Quality and its problems in SMEs in Córdoba. Until now, we had not studied the concept of Quality of Working Life (QWL). This project is part of a larger one that integrates the Current Population Challenges Program, where we have included the QWL, since we understand that a current population challenge is to study the factors that affect it: unemployment, underemployment, labor precariousness, economic crisis, gender issues that have not been overcome in years, preconceptions about the lower capacity of female versus male decision making, among others. In recent months, an additional factor, unthinkable and serious, as is the quarantine by the Covid-19, has made the work of people and therefore this concept even more complex. The study of QWL is a young field, where the authors do not agree on identical dimensions and variables for its measurement. As a first stage, we have compared updated studies and added factors by impact of Total Quality and Covid-19 quarantine, to build a superior model useful for decision making and a questionnaire, which we have tested in some organizations.
An empirical exploration of geographic heterogeneities in labor markets informality and minimum wage effects
Authors: Ferrero Lucas , Hisgen Matías
Published: March 2021

Dual labor markets, defined by the existence or not of a formal labor contract, are a widespread feature in developing countries. Part of this duality results from marked asymmetries between relevant groups and categories, given one-size-fits-all regulation. This article proposes an exploration of the relationship between informality and the minimum wage as a potential source of variation for the identification heterogeneous effects between regions in Argentina. The results obtained support the existence of heterogeneities in policy effects between the central and peripheral regions. The distribution of wages and the level of compliance with the associated minimum wage regulations are the main variables of interest; both exhibit differential effects across regions, stronger northern agglomerations. These are robust to various specifications and controls associated with interregional differences (educational levels, size of companies, sectoral differences, among others). Results have important implications given persistent regional backwardness, and heterogeneities in terms of the workings of both markets and related policies.

Uniquely $D$-Colourable Digraphs with Large Girth II: Simplification via Generalization
Authors: Kayll P. Mark , Parsa Esmaeil
Published: March 2021

We prove that for every digraph $D$ and every choice of positive integers $k$, $\ell$ there exists a digraph $D^*$ with girth at least $\ell$ together with a surjective acyclic homomorphism $\psi\colon D^*\to D$ such that: (i) for every digraph $C$ of order at most $k$, there exists an acyclic homomorphism $D^*\to C$ if and only if there exists an acyclic homomorphism $D\to C$; and (ii) for every $D$-pointed digraph $C$ of order at most $k$ and every acyclic homomorphism $\varphi\colon D^*\to C$ there exists a unique acyclic homomorphism $f\colon D\to C$ such that $\varphi=f\circ\psi$. This implies the main results in [A. Harutyunyan et al., Uniquely $D$-colourable digraphs with large girth, Canad. J. Math., 64(6) (2012), 1310—1328; MR2994666] analogously with how the work [J.

It is shown that the main part of phosphorus is in mineral form and is contained in the clay fraction of sediment, which increases the risk of secondary pollution of water with phosphorus, due to its flow from bottom sediments in suspended form in the active dynamic zones of the reservoir. The estimation of the diffusion input of soluble forms of phosphorus from the bottom sediments of the reservoir accumulation zones was performed.

As the main geographical factors, the author considers: the natural properties of the Caspian Sea, as a geographical object (sea or lake); its natural resources (emphasis is placed on reserves and the territorial distribution of hydrocarbon raw materials and biological resources); the geographical location of the Caspian countries (the continental nature of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan, which forms the dependence of their international economic activity on neighboring countries — Russia, Iran; geographic location of the Caspian Sea (transit — the location at the junction of the Central Asian region, rich in hydrocarbon raw materials and Europe, China, its leading consumers
Protective Effect of Taraxasterol Against Myocardial Damage Caused by Sepsis Through Inhibition of Toll-Like Receptor 4/Nuclear Factor-Kappa B Signaling Pathway
Authors: Wang Shuquan , Tang Xuhui
Published: March 2021

Taraxasterol exerts protective effects against vascular or neuroinflammation and hepatic injury. However, its role on myocardial damage caused by sepsis has not been thoroughly investigated. Myocardial tissues of septic rats - established by cecal ligation and puncture - show a disordered myocardial fiber arrangement, edema, nuclear membrane rupture, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Administration of taraxasterol to these rats attenuated the morphological changes in the myocardial tissues. Biomarkers of cardiac injury in sepsis such as cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase-MB, and lactic acid dehydrogenase were elevated in the plasma of septic rats, and the administration of taraxasterol decreased the rise in these biomarkers. Also, taraxasterol attenuated increase in the levels of inflammatory cytokines in myocardial tissues of septic rats. Based on the evaluation of changes in the mediators of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in sepsis and following treatment with taraxasterol led us to conclude that taraxasterol alleviates myocardial damage in septic rats through inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Kestävyysajattelu ILO:n vihreän työn raporteissa ja työelämän tutkimus kestävyyssiirtymässä
Authors: Taipale Tiina , Houtbeckers Eeva
Published: March 2021

Tarkastelemme artikkelissamme, miten työelämän ja ympäristökysymysten yhtymäpintoja on kuvattu Kansainvälisen työjärjestö ILO:n vihreän työn raporteissa. Esitämme, että raporteissa on käyttökelpoisia jäsennyksiä siitä, miten työelämän teemat ja ympäristökysymykset nivoutuvat yhteen. Listaamme ILO:n julkisesti verkossa saatavilla olevat vihreän työn raportit ja kuvaamme, millaisista teemoista raporteissa on kirjoitettu. Keskitymme tarkemmin kahteen keskeiseen raporteissa esille nousevaan teemaan: (1) ilmastonmuutoksen ja (2) kestävyyssiirtymän vaikutuksiin työhön ja työllisyyteen. Tarkastelemme vihreän työn raportteja tukeutuen aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa tunnistettuun eroon heikon ja vahvan kestävyysajattelun välillä. Lisäksi esitämme, että raporttien teemoihin perehtyminen antaa työelämän tutkijoille ja kehittäjille välineitä oikeudenmukaisen siirtymän ymmärtämiseksi ja edistämiseksi. Johtopäätöksenä esitämme, että työelämän tutkimusta ja kehittämistä tulisi yhä enemmän tarkastella paitsi ylikansallisen myös ylisukupolvisen reiluuden sekä lajien välisen oikeudenmukaisuuden näkökulmista.

Keskitymme artikkelissamme nuorten (alle 35-vuotiaiden), taiteilijoina toimivien yrittäjien ja freelancereiden näkemyksiin omasta työstään, työolosuhteistaan ja tuloistaan. Aineistonamme on Kulttuuripolitiikan edistämissäätiön ja Taiteen edistämiskeskuksen keräämä Nuoret taiteentekijät ‑kyselyaineisto vuodelta 2018 (n = 565). Erotimme aineistosta artikkelimme otokseksi yrittäjien ja freelancereiden (n = 209) edellä mainittuja asioita koskevat vastaukset. Käytämme heistä yhteisnimitystä yrittäjätaiteilijat. Tutkimme eri tekijöiden vaikutuksia yrittäjätaiteilijoiden työtyytyväisyyteen suorien jakaumien sekä ristiintaulukointien ja niitä koskevien riippumattomuustestien ja korrelaatiokertoimien avulla. Lähestymme aihetta kulttuuri- ja taidealojen työtä koskevien aiempien tutkimusten tulosten ja teoretisointien valossa. Tulkintakehyksen keskeisiä käsitteitä ovat taiteilijoiden työn hybridisyys ja työnteon prekaarisuus, joita kuvaavia esimerkkejä nostamme esiin myös aineistoon sisältyvistä kirjallisista vastauksista. Keskeisimpinä tuloksina toteamme, että yrittäjätaiteilijat ovat työssään muita nuoria taiteilijoita monialaisempia ja monituloisempia, ja he pärjäävät muita paremmin prekaarin työelämän epävarmuustekijöiden kanssa.

Published: March 2021

Purpose: A large body of evidence clearly shows that cancer patients experience significant health benefits with smoking cessation. Cancer Care Ontario, the provincial agency responsible for the quality of cancer services in Ontario, has undertaken a province-wide smoking cessation initiative. The strategies used, the results achieved, and the lessons learned are the subject of the present article. Methods: Evidence related to the health benefits of smoking cessation in cancer patients was reviewed. A steering committee developed a vision statement for the initiative, created a framework for implementation, and made recommendations for the key elements of the initiative and for smoking cessation best practices. Results: New ambulatory cancer patients are being screened for their smoking status in each of Ontario’s 14 regional cancer centres. Current or recent smokers are advised of the benefits of cessation and are directed to smoking cessation resources as appropriate. Performance metrics are captured and used to drive improvement through quarterly performance reviews and provincial rankings of the regional cancer centres. Conclusions: Regional smoking cessation champions, commitment from Cancer Care Ontario senior leadership, a provincial secretariat, and guidance from smoking cessation experts have been important enablers of early success. Data capture has been difficult because of the variety of information systems in use and non-standardized administrative and clinical processes. Numerous challenges remain, including increasing physician engagement; obtaining funding for key program elements, including in-house resources to support smoking cessation; and overcoming financial barriers to access nicotine replacement therapy. Future efforts will focus on standardizing processes to the extent possible, while tailoring the approaches to the populations served and the resources available within the individual regional cancer programs.

Purpose: In this study, we examined the effects of a 30-week community-based exercise program on cancer-related fatigue, quality of life, and other health-related outcomes in a sample of adults with mixed cancer diagnoses. Methods: This prospective cohort study looked at outcomes for participants involved in the Wellspring Cancer Exercise Program in southern Ontario. The program consisted of an initial phase of two supervised sessions weekly for 10 weeks and a transition phase of one supervised session weekly for the subsequent 20 weeks. Outcomes were measured at baseline and every 10 weeks throughout the intervention, as well as at 16 weeks after program completion. Results: During a period of 13 months, 229 of the 355 cancer survivors who enrolled in the exercise program consented to participate in the study. Participants attended 71% of the supervised exercise sessions in the initial phase and 49% in the transition phase. From baseline to the end of the initial phase, significant improvements in cancer-related fatigue, 6-minute walk test, social well-being, systolic blood pressure, balance, and physical activity volume were observed. During the transition phase, health-related quality of life and emotional well-being improved significantly. Conclusions: The Wellspring Cancer Exercise Program is associated with clinically meaningful improvements in cancer-related fatigue and functional aerobic capacity. Several other aspects of well-being in cancer survivors also improved for participants in the program. Community-based cancer exercise programs such as the Wellspring Cancer Exercise Program can improve well-being for cancer survivors and can provide an effective option that enhances sustainability and accessibility to exercise services for this population.

Background: Radiation therapists play an important role in helping patients to safely manage and triage potentially life-threatening symptoms. The purpose of the present study was to assess factors influencing the use by radiation therapists of evidence-informed symptom practice guides for patients experiencing cancer treatment–related symptoms. Methods: In a mixed-methods descriptive study guided by the Knowledge-to-Action framework, interviews and a barriers survey were conducted. Two independent reviewers conducted a content analysis of interview transcripts. Barriers survey data were analyzed using frequency distributions and univariate descriptive statistics. Open-ended data from the surveys underwent content analysis and were triangulated with interview findings. Results: Of 90 radiation therapists approached, 58 completed the survey (64%), and 14 were interviewed. Of the 98% who reported providing symptom management to patients undergoing radiation treatment, 53% used evidence-informed practice guidelines. Radiation therapists had moderate moral norms (4.6 of 7) and beliefs about the consequences of using costars (pan-Canadian Oncology Symptom Triage and Remote Support) practice guides (4.8), but neutral intention (3.4) and beliefs about their own capabilities (3.9). Environmental barriers included lack of time (2.0), lack of access (2.5), and neutral organizational support (3.0). Radiation therapists identified a need for training (5.5). Common unique barriers to practice guide use were lack of time during radiation treatments, unclear fit with scope of practice, disparate focus on site-specific symptoms, and lack of medication knowledge. Conclusions: The symptom practice guides were perceived by the radiation therapists to benefit patients, enhance their own knowledge of symptom management, and promote consistent practice. Additional work is required to identify the scope of practice of radiation therapists within the interprofessional team.
