Introduction

Pour continuer à éclairer les lignes directrices sur la santé concernant le sommeil ainsi qu’à favoriser l’élaboration d’interventions fondées sur des données probantes en faveur d’un sommeil sain chez les enfants et les adolescents, il est important de mieux comprendre les associations entre l’horaire de sommeil (heure du coucher, heure du lever, point médian du sommeil) et divers indicateurs de santé. L’objectif de la revue systématique dont fait état cet article était d’analyser les associations entre l’horaire de sommeil et neuf indicateurs de santé chez des enfants et des adolescents de 5 à 18 ans apparemment en bonne santé.

Méthodologie

Les études publiées dans les 10 années précédant janvier 2021 ont été recensées à partir de recherches effectuées dans quatre bases de données électroniques. La revue systématique a été réalisée selon le modèle PRISMA 2020 (Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta‑Analyses) et nous avons évalué la qualité méthodologique et le risque de biais de chaque étude. La synthèse des résultats repose sur une démarche axée sur les meilleurs éléments probants en vue de rapports précis et fiables.

Résultats

Quarante-six études observationnelles de 21 pays portant sur 208 992 participants ont été incluses. L’horaire de sommeil a été évalué objectivement au moyen de l’actigraphie dans 24 études et subjectivement dans 22 études. En raison, d’une part, de l’absence d’études quant à certains de nos critères de résultats en matière de santé et, d’autre part, de l’hétérogénéité des études quant à d’autres critères, nous avons effectué une synthèse narrative plutôt qu’une méta-analyse. D’après nos constatations, un horaire de sommeil tardif serait associé à une moins bonne régulation des émotions, à un rendement scolaire et des fonctions cognitives plus faible, à une durée de sommeil plus courte, à une qualité de sommeil plus faible, à des comportements alimentaires moins bons, à des niveaux d’activité physique plus faibles et à des comportements plus sédentaires. Peu d’études ont porté sur les associations entre l’horaire de sommeil et l’adiposité, la qualité de vie et le bien‑être, les accidents/blessures et les biomarqueurs du risque cardiométabolique. En fonction de l’approche GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation), la qualité des données probantes a été jugée « très faible » pour tous les critères de résultats en matière de santé.

Conclusion

D’après les données probantes disponibles, qui reposent sur des résultats transversaux, un horaire de sommeil précoce est bénéfique pour la santé des enfants et adolescents d’âge scolaire. Des études longitudinales et des essais contrôlés randomisés sont nécessaires pour améliorer nos connaissances dans ce domaine de recherche. (no d’enregistrement dans PROSPERO : CRD42020173585)
A formação inicial do(a) futuro(a) professor(a) de Letras: a mediação de leitura em foco
Authors: De Aguiar Neitzel Adair , Jussara Müller Pareja Cleide , Dos Santos Amanda Demétrio
Published: April 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir como ocorre a mediação do literário no curso de Letras de uma universidade do sul do Brasil da rede da Associação Catarinense das Fundações Educacionais (Acafe) e o impacto dessa mediação na formação do(a) futuro(a) docente. É uma pesquisa qualitativa de natureza exploratória. O instrumento de coleta utilizado consistiu em entrevista por meio de grupo focal com oito acadêmicos do curso de Letras, na disciplina de Estudos Literários. A professora de Literatura não foi entrevistada, mas é considerada sujeito de pesquisa porque, mediante os depoimentos dos acadêmicos, identificamos as percepções sobre a atuação dela em sala de aula, suas escolhas metodológicas e teóricas. A análise dos dados ocorreu de acordo com a análise de conteúdo segundo Franco (2008). O estudo fundamentou-se em Barthes (2015, 1992), Duarte Júnior. (2010, 2012), Mirian Martins (2005, 2014),Neitzel et al. (2017), Todorov (2020), entre outros. Os resultados indicam que: a mediação da leitura do literário ocorreu a partir da concepção da professora de que mediar implica uma postura de valorização do outro; a mediação deu-se por meio de objetos e espaços propositores – livros, pinturas, músicas, cartõespostais, trechos de filmes, entre outros –, os quais a professora explorou para oportunizar aos(às) acadêmicos(as) a apreciação do texto literário como objeto estético e artístico; os espaços propositores, como corredores, escadas, bibliotecas, espaços ao ar livre e a própria sala de aula, foram experimentados para ampliar as percepções dos(as) acadêmicos(as) sobre a obra e por ela serem afetados(as). As experiências reverberaram e há indícios de que contribuíram para a educação estética dos(as) futuros(as) docentes.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT

  This article presents the analyses of the theoretical foundations of the study of consumer behavior: reference was made to the economic, marketing and psychological approaches. The essence of consumer behavior, psychological features and mechanisms are discussed. The psychological causality of consumer preference and choice is revealed, particularly, the study of positions, motives and needs is of significant importance. In the psychological analysis of the consumer behavior the influence of both psychological and socio-cultural factors is highly important.

Today consumers are quite well-informed and they know well what they want. Therefore, marketers should be very careful and prudent when developing a marketing strategy and presenting their brand to the consumers. It can be said that the creation of the best brand depends on to what extent the marketer is familiar with the psychology of consumers. The marketing tricks, such as advertisements, posters, billboards, celebrity endorsements, display, which are used by marketers to present their new products to a wide range of consumers, to attract consumers and buyers, are almost the same and they are used by numerous organizations, manufacturers and marketers. However, successful are those, who can be more informed about the consumers' psychology and the psychological mechanisms of consumer choice.

Published: April 2022

Typically, in the Internet of Things (IoT) yields objects are controlled and monitored remotely over a network. A standard IoT system includes various sensors that combine with microprocessors and other custom peripherals to perform their operations. Data collection and processing, computation, and finally communication these operations are involved to carry out IoT applications. Designer and user both demand these operations should be performed without any kind of unauthorized interference. As per the current trend, the way we have relied on technology, the way data exchange has started, it is not possible to rely on existing data security systems. It has become imperative to add a concrete solution to the existing infrastructure of security. Hardware security is attracted attention of researchers because of its importance in IoT applications, IP securities, and controlling counterfeit electronic devices. Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF) is an innovative approach that provides security primitives and also will resist Integrated Circuit (IC) cloning and counterfeiting. PUF works on the principle of process variations present inside the hardware. PUFs carry capricious and event-specific values and can be used to provide hardware security. Nowadays IoT design has been implemented on the SoC platform. Here we have designed PUF on the SoC platform so that it will be helpful to IoT designs. The presented work will help in understanding the ROPUF design with respect to simulation, synthesis, placement and routing and hardware validation.

Published: April 2022

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has adopted the guidelines and recommendations established by global health organizations and provides vaccination programs, both epidemic and seasonal, to all healthcare workers (HCWs). This article aimed at systemically reviewing the motivators and barriers for seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV) among HCWs in GCC countries that would help in developing and finding an optimum strategy to increase the SIV uptake rate. Published literature about the SIV among HCWs in the GCC was recovered from PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Scopus, and Directory of Open Access Journals databases. Only published articles between January 2000 and May 2020 were selected. A total of 182 studies were screened for eligibility. It was found that the availability of the vaccine free of charge and going to HCW units to administer the vaccines, in addition to campaigns and authority recommendation, showed a higher SIV uptake rate. Furthermore, targeted education with emphasis on the evidence-based medicine knowledge to show the effectiveness and safety of SIV and its value in protecting others and decreasing the burden of flu would impose a positive attitude toward SIV.

The philosophical question of life orientation in the context of individual psychology by Alfred Adler
Authors: Zakharov Aleksandr Dmitrievich
Published: April 2022

The question of life orientation, i.e. orientation towards creativity or destruction, life or death, has been considered in philosophy for a long time, but the social aspect of the issue has been developed relatively recently along with the development of psychology as a science, in particular, psychoanalysis and neoвЂ“Freudianism. This article is devoted to the study of the problem of life orientations on the example of Alfred Adler's individual psychology вЂ“ a branch of deep psychology that has much in common with psychoanalytic knowledge, but differs in recognizing the holism of the human psyche. Qualitative analysis of primary empirical data, processing of secondary empirical data, analysis of the evolution of views on the chosen topic were used as research methods. This article examines and analyzes the basic concepts of individual psychology within the framework of the issue under study, as well as the assessment of the conceptual applicability of the theory of Alfred Adler to the actual existential problems of modern man. In the course of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that individual psychology, despite the historically mediated features of the proposed methods and theses, can and should be applied in the context of considering the ontological issue of life orientation, combines social and psychological-philosophical approaches, is consistent in theoretical and experimental terms, although it is almost not used in the framework of modern philosophical and psychological scientific knowledge.

Extending the Proline Effect: ΨPro for Tailoring cis-trans Isomerisation
Authors: Dumy Pascal
Published: April 2022

Pseudo-Prolines (ΨPro) consist of (4S)-oxazolidine- and (4R)-thiazolidine-carboxylic acids derived from amino acids Ser, Thr and Cys. They represent new branched proline analogues in which variation of the substituents (R1, R2, R3) results in different physicochemical and conformational properties. We summarise here the relevant chemical and structural aspects of such super-prolines intended to constrain and control the peptide backbone in β-turn motifs or to alter the imide cis-trans ratio.
Clusters of the Heavier Elements of Main Groups 14–16: A Novel Synthetic Route for Polyanions in Molten Crown Ether
Authors: Fässler Thomas F. , Hoffmann Rudolf
Published: April 2022

A novel procedure allows the synthesis of homoatomic polyanions directly from the elements E (E = Sn, As, Sb, Te) in molten A/18-crown-6 as reaction medium (A = K, Rb) at temperatures between 40 and 80° [1]. The reactions are carried out by adding E to mixtures of A and 18-crown-6 that proved to form stable melts under these conditions. Further work off using ethylenediamine or DMF as solvent yielded single crystals of the following compounds: [K(18-crown-6)]4Sn9 (1), [K(18-crown-6)]3KSn9·en (2), [K(18-crown-6)]3As7 (3), [K([2.2.2]crypt)]2[K(18-crown-6)]Sb7·0.5en (4), [Rb(18-crown-6)]3Sb7 (5), [K(18-crown-6)]2Te4 (6), and [K(18-crown-6)]2Te4·en (7). In all compounds short contacts between the Zintl ions and A-atoms are observed. The influence of cation-anion interactions on the structure of these anions is discussed.
Excitation-Wavelength Dependence of Photoinduced Charge Injection at the Semiconductor-Dye Interface: Evidence for Electron Transfer from Vibrationally Hot Excited States
Authors: Moser Jacques-E. , Grätzel Michael
Published: April 2022

Heterodyad systems composed of a redox photosensitizer adsorbed on the surface of a wide band gap semiconductor were designed in a way that the ν'=0 energy level of the electronically excited state of the dye lies below the bottom of the conduction band of the solid. Under these conditions, the quantum yield of the charge injection from the sensitizer into the conduction band of the solid was found to depend upon the excitation photon energy. This observation provides an evidence that interfacial charge transfer is occurring prior to nuclear relaxation of the sensitizer's excited state. It allows the use of a simplified kinetic model and offers an easy experimental path to the determination of the electronic coupling that controls the rate of the ultrafast injection process.
Possibilities to Control Concrete Shrinkage by Means of Chemical Admixtures
Authors: Montani Serge
Published: April 2022

The main object of the present paper is to describe the possibilities to control shrinkage of concrete by means of chemical admixtures. In an introductory part, also a general overview on the state of knowledge in the field of concrete shrinkage is given. The actual experience
indicates that the control of concrete shrinkage with the traditional plasticisers and superplasticisers is quite limited, despite the water reduction obtained at same concrete consistency. A decrease in concrete shrinkage in the order of 30% is, however, possible by the addition of special
shrinkage-reducing admixtures. The use of sulfoaluminate-based expansive admixture allows in principle to compensate completely the shrinkage of concrete. An effective means to improve the shrinkage compensating effect is the combination of the expansive admixture with a shrinkage-reducing
admixture.
Alkali-Free Accelerators for Sprayed Concrete
Authors: Leikauf Bernhard , Oppliger Max
Published: April 2022

The application of wet sprayed concrete requires the accelerating component to achieve setting of the concrete and strength development. Common accelerators are highly alkaline and contain substantial amounts of alkali. Corrosive aerosols produced during addition of the accelerator at the nozzle can cause serious problems to skin and eyes of workers. Other disadvantages of the traditional accelerators are damage due to alkali-silicate reaction and a reduction of the mechanical strength of up to 50% over time.A goal of the worldwide operating R&D division of the Underground Construction Group of MBT was the development of an alkali-free accelerator to overcome some problems of sprayed concrete applications and contamination by leaching water. This paper will show some results with these types of accelerators from laboratory tests and practical applications at interesting job sites world-wide.
Recycling of Road Pavements – an Environmental Problem? Recycling von Strassenbelägen – ein Umweltproblem?
Authors: Hugener Martin , Mattrel Peter , Schmid Peter , Fritz Hermann W.
Published: April 2022

For several decades, in addition to bitumen, binders containing tar were used for road pavements in Switzerland. As tar contains up to 10000 times higher concentrations of toxic phenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) than bitumen, tar was banned as a binder in road constructions. Nevertheless, several thousand tons of tar are still present in old pavements presenting a problem when roads have to be renovated. In 1997, regulations were introduced in Switzerland prohibiting the recycling of road materials with a content above 5000 mg PAH/kg binder.For the determination of PAH, several analytical methods are used ranging from simple screening tests to sophisticated analytical methods. Due to easy handling and simple instrumentation, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is an adequate choice for road laboratories, whereas the determination of the quantitative composition of PAH mixtures has to be based on more demanding methods such as HPLC with fluorescence detection or GC-MS.

Java and JavaBeans for Cheminformatics
Authors: Krassavine Anatoli
Published: April 2022

The usability of standard HTML pages for the display of inherently often very graphical chemical information is severely limited, especially with respect to interactive manipulation of the displayed data. This is where simple images, the lowest common denominator, fail. There is a definite
need for a portable and flexible mechanism for the graphical display and manipulation of chemical information in a WWW context. We believe that Java, especially the JavaBeans framework, which supplies a powerful paradigm for the communication between multiple processing tools, is a very suitable
technology to solve these problems. In this contribution, we illustrate the design and use of the ChemSymphony JavaBean suite as an example of this technology.

Release and mineral formation of lead corrosion products with orthophosphate-polyphosphates
Authors: Locsin Javier , Doré Evelyne , Trueman Benjamin F. , Bleasedale-Pollowy Aaron , Gagnon Graham A.
Published: April 2022

Phosphate addition is a popular strategy to minimize lead release. Despite continuous research on orthophosphate for lead control, studies exploring the complexity of the interaction between lead and orthophosphate-polyphosphate blends in drinking water are scarce. Three model polyphosphates—tripoly-, trimeta- and hexametaphosphate— were used to examine the structural impacts of polyphosphate on lead release. We used a continuously-stirred tank reactor with a lead (II) carbonate solid to evaluate the impact of orthophosphate-polyphosphate blends compared to orthophosphate on lead solubility, speciation, and mineralogy under conditions relevant to drinking water. Tripolyphosphate was a stronger complexing agent for lead than trimetaphosphate (1 ± 0.01 vs 0.07 ± 0.01 molPb/molPolyphosphate). Hexametaphosphate’s increased chain length was associated with greater lead solubility (1.6-2.1 ± 0.1 molPb/molPolyphosphate). At equivalent orthophosphate to polyphosphate concentrations, orthophosphate-trimetaphosphate had minimal impact on lead release, while orthophosphate-tripolyphosphate increased dissolved by 554 ± 29 and 213 ± 22 μg Pb0.2μm m-2 at 30-min and 24-hr reaction times, respectively. Meanwhile, orthophosphate-hexametaphosphate increased dissolved lead only at the 24-hr reaction time (by 256 ± 13 μg Pb0.2μm m-2). Both orthophosphate-tripolyphosphate and orthophosphate-hexametaphosphate increased small colloidal lead concentrations over a 24-hr stagnation. Except with orthophosphate-trimetaphosphate, having more polyphosphate than orthophosphate intensified dissolved lead release. All three polyphosphates inhibited the formation of hydroxypyromorphite and reduced the phosphorous content of the resulting lead solids. The impacts of orthophosphate-polyphosphates are due to a combination of complexation, adsorption, colloidal dispersion, polyphosphate hydrolysis, and lead mineral precipitation.
On the black hole effect in bilinear curve resolution based on least squares
Authors: Vitale Raffaele , Ruckebusch Cyril
Published: April 2022

Least squares-based estimations lay behind most chemometric methodologies. Their properties, though, have been extensively studied mainly in the domain of regression, in relation to which the effect of well-known deleterious factors (like object leverage or data distributions deviating from ideal conditions) on the accuracy of the prediction of an external response variable have been thoroughly assessed. Conversely, much less attention has been paid to what these factors might yield in alternative scenarios, where least squares approaches are still utilised, yet the objectives of data modelling may be very different. As an example, one can think of multivariate curve resolution (MCR) problems which are usually addressed by means of Multivariate Curve Resolution-Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS). In this respect, this article wants to offer a perspective on the basic principles of MCR-ALS from the regression point of view. In particular, the following critical aspects will be highlighted: in certain situations, i) if the number of analysed data points is too large, the leverage of those that may be essential for a MCR-ALS resolution might become too low for guaranteeing its correctness and ii) in order to overcome this black hole effect and improve the accuracy of the MCR-ALS output, data pruning - i.e., the reduction of the amount of observations of the investigated datasets - can be exploited. More in detail, this communication will provide a practical illustration of such aspects in the field of hyperspectral imaging where even single experimental runs may lead to the generation of massive amounts of spectral recordings.

Authors: Barriault Louis , Zidan Montserrat
Published: April 2022

Organic transformations initiated by photochemical activation have been at the forefront of reaction discovery. We have seen the [2+2] photocycloaddition performed upon excitation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, and more recently [3 + 2] cycloadditions of aryl cyclopropyl ketones have been reported. These methodologies required a photocatalyst and/or external activators, adding some limitations to the substrates used. Herein, we report a formal photochemical [3 + 2] cycloaddition using N-aryl cyclopropylamines and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl systems without the use of photocatalysts or additives. This simple method proceeding through a Single Electron Transfer (SET) offers a wide scope for the synthesis of N-arylaminocycloalkyl compounds in good to excellent yields.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior (HLSB) and perceived health levels in pharmacists, who are important healthcare professionals, and the factors that affected these parameters.
Materials and Methods: A two-part questionnaire was applied to 132 pharmacists included in this cross-sectional study. In the first part, a questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic characteristics, factors thought to affect healthy lifestyle behaviors and perceived health-related questions was applied, and in the second part, a questionnaire consisting of the HLPS Scale was applied.
Results: Based on the perceived health scale, 73.5% rated their health as good (excellent/very good/good) and 26.5% as bad (moderate/bad). It was determined that HLSB scale score of those who were satisfied with their profession was higher than those who were not, of those who did not smoke was higher than those who did, of those who exercised regularly was higher than those who did not, of those who did not have sleep problems was higher than those who did, and of those who consider themselves healthy was higher than those who did not (p<0.05).
Conclusion: It was determined that the mean HLSB of the participating pharmacists was moderate and one fourth of the pharmacists considered themselves as unhealthy based on the perceived health scale.

In Ireland, between 2015 and 2020, 356 people were identified as suspected victims of human trafficking by An Garda Síochána. Of them, approximately 59 per cent were third-country nationals. This study examines the policy and practice in Ireland for the detection of a situation of human trafficking, the identification of a victim of human trafficking, and the subsequent protection provided to victims of human trafficking, with a particular focus on third-country nationals. It is based on the Irish contribution to a European Migration Network (EMN) report comparing the situation in EMN Member and Observer States.

Published: April 2022

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease with multiple complications contributing to the global healthcare burden. Untreated T2DM causes multiple organs and systemic injury, including heart, kidney, nerve, and blood vessels, which impairs quality of life and increases mortality rates caused by complications of diabetes. Some of these complications play a clear role in increasing diabetes mortality. The objective of this study was to determine the differences in blood glucose level and lipid profile among T2DM patients with hypertension and without hypertension.
Method: This research was a cross-sectional analytic study. Research subjects were taken using a purposive sampling technique with inclusion and exclusion criteria among the 40 T2DM patients in the Chronic Disease Management Program called Prolanis at Bambanglipuro Health Centre. The inclusion criteria were T2DM patients who were members of Prolanis. The exclusion criteria were patients with a history of complications such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Accordingly, in total, 32 T2DM patients were joining this study. We collected the total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL data and analyzed it  with an independent T-test. The fasting blood glucose level, HbA1C, and triglyceride data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: There were differences in LDL levels (p=0.005) in T2DM patients with hypertension and without hypertension. Meanwhile, there was no difference in fasting blood glucose among T2DM patients with hypertension and without hypertension.
Conclusion: There was a significant difference in LDL, and there were no significant differences in fasting blood glucose levels in T2DM patients with hypertension and without hypertension.
EMERGING CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE DUE TO COVID-19 IN INDONESIA
Authors: Rosyidah Rosyidah
Published: April 2022

The goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means a situation in which all individuals and communities have access to health services, whenever and wherever they need them, without financial barriers to obtaining them. UHC covers a wide range of essential health services, from promotion, prevention, treatment, care, rehabilitation, and palliative care for patients with chronic diseases. On the other hand, the COVID-19 Pandemic is devastating national health systems in countries that have strived to provide UHC, hampering their efforts to fulfill the ethos of universal health coverage, which is to "leave no one behind." As mentioned in the World Economic Forum 2021, this issue is interesting because an estimated 400 million people worldwide lack access to essential health services. Approximately 100 million people fall into poverty each year due to not paying their health costs. This number has increased with COVID-19 and will continue to up as people lose their jobs, health insurance, and health spending rise due to COVID-19-related spending on testing, treatment, and vaccines.

Никельсодержащие катализаторы Ni/Ce1–xZrxO2 проявляют хорошую активность в ре­акциях метанирования оксидов углерода. В последнее время развиваются работы по синтезу и тестированию каталитических систем Ni—Ce—Zr—O, представляющих собой смешанные оксиды. Однако вопрос о возможности формирования твердых растворов Ni—Ce—Zr—O остается дискуссионным. В настоящей работе синтезированы Ni—Ce1–xZrxO2 катализаторы с использованием метода Пекини, имеющего доказанную эффективность в получении смешанных оксидов. Изучены особенности структуры образцов с применением широкого ряда методов порошковой дифракции и просвечивающей электронной микроскопии, а также рентгенографического метода анализа распределения атомных пар. Результаты исследований показали возможность формирования твердого раствора замещения Ni—Ce—Zr—O со структурой типа флюорита. Зафиксировано искажение его кристаллической структуры из-за различий в характерной координации и в радиусах катионов никеля, церия и циркония. Установлено, что твердый раствор Ni—Ce—Zr—O с «напряженной» и дефектной кристаллической структурой не стабилен, в восстановительных условиях реакций метанирования оксидов углерода происходит его расслоение с образованием высокодисперсных частиц металлического никеля.
