Published: September 2020

Indigenous populations experience a risk of socio-economic marginalization in health emergency, including COVID-19. Public service announcements (PSA) are promotional materials that address problems in an attempt to increase public awareness. North Kalimantan is one of the frontier, outermost, and least developed regions in Indonesia with 11 regional languages spoken. One of the districts with inadequate human resources in the area is Nunukan regency. The present study sought to understand how one group of people in Nunukan Regency reactions, interests, and impressions with the COVID-19 information found in Bugis and Toraja version of audio PSAs released by Health Empowerment and Education Project (HEUProject). The study belongs to qualitative research and used purposive sampling with seven participants from two sub-district in Nunukan Regency. The data is analyzed qualitative-thematically which is further interpreted and presented  in the form of a description. Additionally, to see the variety of participants’ answers information transmission through PSAs, we analyzed the data using Tableau software 2020 version and presented the relative frequency of words with visual infographic. The study findings of the participants' immediate reactions were following the advice on the PSAs audio, for instance to keep the physical distance and washing their hands frequently. The most participants in this study have the willingness to hear, to understand, and also feel interested with the useful content in audio format that apparently improves their awareness of COVID-19 information. Overall, it is immediately apparent that the language, transmission of message, and information found in the HEUProject’s COVID-19 educational PSA were understood and engaged by participants in a way that it reflects on the pandemic situation. Our study supports the national usage of disease prevention with this type of media approach that could be used in public places in the future that may minimize the language divide.

Collecting swab samples from the nasopharynx and oropharynx of patients with COVID-19 is essential in detecting SARS-CoV-2. This procedure potentially produces sufficient droplets. Since SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted through droplets, swab sampling has to be done carefully to prevent the risk of transmission to healthcare workers or the cross-contamination to the environment. The GAMA Swab Sampling Chamber (GSSC) is a positive-pressure chamber designed for collecting swab samples involving the healthcare worker positioned inside, while the patient is outside the chamber. The chamber is designed to minimize the risk of aerosol exposure to the healthcare worker due to leakage or when opening or closing the door. Accordingly, the healthcare worker does not need to use complete personal protective equipment (PPE) as they do when collecting swab samples without the chamber. After several tests to check the safety and the chamber’s function, the GSSC was used at Gadjah Mada Hospital. This chamber had been used to swab 51 asymptomatic patients, 72 suspected patients, and 284 voluntary persons for ten weeks. The results of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) examination of all samples from asymptomatic patients were negative, while 2 of 72 suspected patients (2.8%) and 4 of 284 voluntary persons (1.4%) had positive RT-PCR results. The use of GSSC can simplify the swab sampling, also reduces the need for PPE usage and a negative pressure isolation room which are limited in the current pandemic situation.
Impact of COVID-19 on primary care visits: lesson learnt from the early pandemic period
Authors: Rhatomy Sholahuddin , Prasetyo Thomas Edison
Published: September 2020

In Indonesia, primary healthcare facilities play important roles in disease control and prevention. Changes in healthcare seeking behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially to primary care, might have impacts to the overall public health status. This comparative epidemiology study aimed to investigate the changes of healthcare seeking behavior in primary care settings during the early pandemic period. Weekly number of visits to a primary healthcare facility in Klaten, Indonesia was examined from the 1st week of 2018 –through the 25th week of 2020. The selected period affected early by COVID-19 in 2020 was defined (early pandemic period) and compared to the same corresponding period in 2019 (comparison period). The total number of patient visits, number of visits by age, gender, clinical decisions, patient status and diagnostic categories were obtained, compared and analyzed. Mean differences and prevalence ratio of a specific diagnostic category between the two periods were calculated. The lowest period was from weeks 14 – 21, 2020, which we identified as the early pandemic period. Comparing the early pandemic period to the comparison period, we found that there was 46.3% decrease of total number of visits. The decline was especially apparent for children aged 0-9 (71%), females (46%), registered patients (49%) and outpatients (48%). Most of diagnostic categories also saw declines. Unfortunately, patients with hypertension also saw notable decline in mean differences and prevalence ratio albeit not desirable. In conclusion, some declines in the number of visits were not desirable including decreasing hypertension visit. This trend might negatively impact public health status afterward. Proper countermeasures are needed to control the ongoing trend. Further studies regarding the impact of COVID-19 on treatment seeking behavior is needed to plan effective countermeasures.
A Comparative Analysis of the Femicide of Migrant Domestic Workers in Bahrain and Lebanon
Authors: Al-Hindi Marya
Published: September 2020

Gender-based violence (GBV) is becoming a major topic of criminological concern. This article examines the factors contributing to the abuse of female Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) by their employers in two Middle Eastern countries, Lebanon and Bahrain. It pinpoints the law as the structure that maintains the slavery-like conditions that facilitate the systematic violence towards MDWs in Bahrain and Lebanon. It also looks at how processes of criminalisation cement MDWs in their precarious positions, subject to un-investigated femicide. Therefore, this article proposes to view femicide as a state of existence resulting from a wider societal structure as opposed to a single act condensed in time and space. The article adopts an intersectional approach to GBV, which draws attention to the states’ role in facilitating the exploitation of MDWs. It also calls for the inclusion of MDWs in the Lebanese and Bahraini labour laws. By acknowledging the multi-dimensional abuse which ultimately results in the death of MDWs, the article concludes that the governments of the receiving and sending countries must do more to protect their most marginalised subjects. Moreover, criminologists should include MDWs as a criminalised group in more of their academic endeavours.
A novel lighting design system in Masoumeh with an approach to improving technical and economic conditions
Authors: Abdollahi Rohollah , Aref Mohammad Hossein
Published: September 2020

Islamic countries have many sacred places that represent the culture, identity, and civilization of them. One of the most important tools that can improve the design and architecture of these places is the proper design of lighting systems. Using simulation results in DIALux Evo software and comparing them with lighting standards, technical and operational disadvantages of the current scheme were identified. In this paper, we propose alternative lighting schemes for the courtyard of the Holy Shrine of MASOUMEH considering standards of lighting systems and related international experiences in order to eliminate disadvantages in the current lighting system and to reduce and optimize energy consumption. The results show that proposed alternative schemes not only satisfy technical indicators and standard lighting values but also save the number of lights, the amount of energy consumption, and corresponding costs.

Desvalorización de la profesión docente en Chile: capitalismo tardío y profesorado
Authors: González Castro Claudia
Published: September 2020

El presente texto es una revisión bibliográfica que analizó la formación del profesorado chileno desde sus inicios y sus características fundacionales hasta el periodo dictatorial. El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar que la desvalorización de la profesión docente en Chile, junto al proceso progresivo de depreciación de la educación en las sociedades de mercado, es el resultado de una imposición violenta del capitalismo en el país a escalas superiores. Para ello, se evidencia cómo la literatura analizada sustenta el protagonismo social que detentó la docencia en el periodo anterior a la dictadura y cómo las estrategias dictatoriales terminan con el prestigio de la docencia en Chile a través de políticas opresivas.

Effects of sexism and job–applicant match on leadership candidate evaluations
Authors: Fleming Alissa C. , Hlebasko Hanna , Adams Sarah C. , Roach Krystal N. , Christiansen Neil D.
Published: September 2020

In the lack of fit model and role congruity theory it is suggested that mismatch between female candidates and agentic, male-typed jobs is responsible for discrimination when women apply for leadership positions. In 2 studies we examined the effects of job–applicant mismatch and
evaluator sexism on candidate evaluations. In Study 1 (participant evaluators N = 306), mismatch between a female applicant and an agentic job was beneficial for hireability and competence when the evaluator was male and scored low in sexism. However, we were surprised by the result
that female evaluators who scored high in sexism rated female applicants for communal jobs lower on competence, likeability, and hireability than did female evaluators who scored low in sexism. In Study 2 (participant evaluators N = 619), evaluator sexism was related to hireability
through competence but not through likeability. Further research should be conducted to explore why sexist women devalue a female candidate who is applying for a communal position.
Does education level affect individuals' environmentally conscious behavior? Evidence from Mainland China
Authors: Sun Lunxuan , Yang Shuo , Li Sumin , Zhang Yongduo
Published: September 2020

We analyzed data from 8,710 participants in the 2013 China General Social Survey by using the instrumental variable method to assess the impact of the number of years of individuals' formal education on their environmental behavior. The results show that more formal education significantly
increased individuals' public and private environmental behavior. Higher levels of formal education improved individuals' environmental knowledge and their environmental pollution awareness, which directly affected their environmental behavior. Having had more formal education was also associated
with having a higher socioeconomic status and economic income, which increased the demand these individuals reported for a better environment and affordability of environmentally friendly actions, which indirectly affected their environmental behavior. Our findings indicate that a further
increase in the supply of education may improve China's current environmental problems.
Effect of entrepreneurial satisfaction on personal initiative: The role of institutional trust and industry attractiveness
Authors: Song Lihong , Guo Cui
Published: September 2020

We investigated the effect of entrepreneurial satisfaction on personal initiative using a sample of 581 entrepreneurs in China. Entrepreneurial satisfaction was classified into 2 dimensions: satisfaction with income and satisfaction with firm size. The moderating roles of institutional trust and industry attractiveness were examined. We found that entrepreneur's personal initiative was lower for those who were more satisfied with their entrepreneurial progress, particularly satisfaction with firm size. Regarding the contingency effect, industry attractiveness assuaged the negative relationship between entrepreneurial satisfaction and personal initiative, but institutional trust did not. The study promotes understanding about Chinese entrepreneurial behaviors and has relevant practical implications for policymakers and new venture management.
Social effects of engaged leaders on subordinates' experiences in the workplace
Authors: Zhao Yijun , Xie Baoguo
Published: September 2020

We drew on the theory of conservation of resources to examine the social effects of a leader's work engagement on followers' psychological capital, work engagement, and job satisfaction. With a sample of 530 employees nested within 54 teams, we tested our hypotheses using multilevel path analyses in Mplus. As hypothesized, we found that the leader's work engagement was positively related to followers' psychological capital, work engagement, and job satisfaction. Further, followers' psychological capital mediated the relationship between the leader's work engagement and followers' work engagement and job satisfaction. In particular, the leader's work engagement was positively related to followers' psychological capital, which, in turn, was positively associated with both their work engagement and job satisfaction. Implications of our findings are that if leaders openly express their identification with their work and put great effort into their job, followers are more likely to achieve high levels of team effectiveness.

Published: September 2020

Introduction. The aim of this paper was to report a case series of three patients diagnosed with multiple primary synchronous cancers (MPSC) in the lungs who were treated multidisciplinary at a single-center institution. Outline of cases. Three male patients were referred to the Clinic for Chest Surgery, at the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade, Serbia for planned surgical treatment of lung cancers. During subsequent diagnostic procedures, second primary synchronous tumors were detected in all presented cases. All patients underwent surgical resection and chemotherapy or a combination of chemo- and radio-therapy. Two out of three patients died with an average survival period of 32 months. One patient is still alive, with current disease-free interval of 21 months. Conclusion. MPSC is a rare condition. The final diagnosis should be based on clinical, radiological, histopathological, and genetic analyses. Treatment modalities of MPSC depend on the clinical staging of the disease, patient?s general medical condition, and general assessment of tumor operability and resectability.

Published: September 2020

Introduction. Horseshoe kidney is the most common developmental disorder of the urinary system, which involves an anomaly of kidney fusion, and occurs in 3% of the population. Kidneys are most often connected at the lower poles by fibrous or parenchymal isthmus. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common tumor of the horseshoe kidney. Treatment involves surgical treatment that includes heminephrectomy or partial nephrectomy with different approaches. We report a case of RCC of a horseshoe kidney, located on the lower pole and the isthmus. Case outline. A 68-year-old patient reported to the urologist due to intermittent painless macroscopic hematuria. Computed tomography urogram revealed the presence of a tumor on the right kidney, measuring 85 ? 90 ? 60 mm, with radiological characteristics of RCC, which covered the entire lower pole of the kidney towards the isthmus. Angiography finding indicated a thickened isthmus with pronounced malformation of vascular structures. The right heminephrectomy was performed with resection of the isthmus from 15 mm to the healthy tissue. The isthmus was sutured in two layers with a catgut suture. Subsequently, hilar, paracaval, and interaortocaval lymphadenectomies were performed. The pathohistological finding indicated a tumor of renal cell origin, while the resection line was free of the tumor tissue, as were the lymph nodes. Conclusion. RCC is the most common neoplasm of the horseshoe kidney. Treatment is surgical and involves open or laparoscopic heminephrectomy or partial nephrectomy with a transperitoneal or extraperitoneal approach.

Mediante tais resultados, conclui-se que é necessário uma ressignificação pessoal, política e social acerca da importância e consequências da formação pedagógica do docente da área da Saúde do Ensino Superior, principalmente, do supervisor de estágio dos cursos de Fisioterapia, para haver a institucionalização do comprometimento com a formação crítica e humanizada dos egressos.
SUBSTANTIATION OF SCALES OF LIGHT VALUES SIMILARITY OF RECIRCULATING AQUATIC SYSTEMS FOR GROWING HYDROBIONTS
Authors: Nedostup Aleksandr , Razhev Alexey Olegovich , Khrustalyov Evgeniy Ivanovich
Published: September 2020

The article discusses the problems of physical modeling of recirculated aquatic systems (RAS) for cultivating hydrobionts, in particular, the problem of substantiating the rules for similarity of light quantities. The use of ultrasonic testing requires the special growing conditions that are close to the natural habitat of the aquatic organisms, including the light regime. The use

of simulation and physical modeling for calculating the light quantities will make it possible to optimize technological processes, increase the productivity of ultrasonic treatment basins, increase efficiency and reduce costs. The main task of the similarity of light values of the ultrasonic ultrasound is to determine the parameters of light sources having different technical characteristics, which greatly complicates the theoretical analysis in developing the ultrasound. An important component of the similarity of light values is preserving the physical nature of the phenomena

of the original in a model executed in a size different from natural. In problems of light values it is required to ensure the coincidence of mechanical and light processes. It is necessary to reduce such values, depending on the dimensional characteristics of the object, as luminous flux, heat, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, illumination, etc. to their independent dimensionless form. When designing the ultrasonic ultrasound, the scales of physical characteristics of the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic processes that occur in the ultrasound with dynamic similarity are not enough, as they do not take into account the processes of light flux and illumination that occur in the ultrasound. There have been proposed the additional similarity scales for light quantities, given methods for their calculation and graphs of their dependences on the geometric scale Cl. However, it must be understood that achieving complete similarity is fundamentally impossible, no matter how large the list of similarity criteria is. Knowing the scale of Cl, it is possible to determine the scale effect.

Published: September 2020

The article describes the intensive economic activity in the second half of the 20th century, which, along with apparent global climatic changes in recent decades, led to an increase in the number of alien fish species in the water bodies of the Volga basin. There has been presented the data on the occurrence of invasive species in scientific catches in the Volga River reser-voirs, as well as in its unregulated areas and delta. The invaders’ share in the fish species composition varied from 8 to 32%, depending on the geography of sampling. Special attention is paid to the reasons and pathways of invasive species’ dispersal, as well as to changes in the genetic structure of their populations taking place during acclimatization to the new conditions. It has been proposed to utilize a combined genetic-morphological approach in order to enhance the species identification of found invaders. Collected material can be used in the development of control methods, as well as for suppressing the abundance of dangerous or undesirable invasive species

The article considers the digital transformation as a main factor of modern economic development. It has given rise to the simultaneous co-existence in the conceptual field of scientific research of two related terms: innovation economy and digital economy. In order to differentiate their essential characteristics, the different approaches to the definition of these concepts are considered. Based on a critical analysis of existing interpretations of the innovation economy, the main elements of its definition are highlighted. The article presents the genesis of the term “digital economy”, reveals the content of resource-oriented, reproductive, socio-economic, epistemological and transformational approaches to its determination. In addition to the existing ones, an innovative approach is proposed and its essential characteristics are revealed. In order to establish the nature of the relationship and interdependence of the categories under consideration, two hypotheses reflecting the relationship between the innovation and digital economy are formulated based on the approaches prevailing in the scientific literature. The first of them assumes the integration of the digital economy into the innovation economy with the assignment to it of the functionality of industry intensification and information and communication support for innovative development. According to the second hypothesis, the digital and innovative economies are considered as two relatively independent and at the same time intersecting in terms of information components of the definition. There has been established the terminological subordination of the concepts of digital economy and innovation economy: from the perspective of the innovation paradigm of post-industrial society, the digital economy appears to be a new, more advanced form of innovation, which is facilitated by the systematic application of digital methods, technologies and tools. The digital economy, on the one hand, is considered as an integral part of innovation, on the other hand, the gradual loss of the digital tools of innovation status leads to a partial exit of the digital economy from the field of innovation and the formation of a relatively independent level of economic development

Authors: Galieva Guzel Maratovna
Published: September 2020

The article highlights the problems of preschool education in the municipal district, which is the initial link in the system of continuing education and the basis for the full-fledged growth of an individual. Analysis of the influence of various conditions of the economic and social life reveals the problems that impede the development of preschool education. There have been analyzed the factors characterizing the coverage of children by preschool educational organizations and the availability of preschool education at the regional level. The methodological basis of the study was the economic and statistical analysis of indicators that determine the development of preschool education. The main characteristics of preschool educational activities in Republic of Bashkortostan (a study of municipal districts) are given. It has been stated that for the period from 2010 to 2018 in Republic of Bashkortostan, the number of independent preschool educational organizations decreased by 41.3%, while the number of pupils increased by 42.4%. The studies have revealed the relationship between the level of economic development of the municipal district, its specialization and the involvement of children in preschool educational activities. It has been established that in the municipal areas with well-developed industrial production the coverage of children by preschool educational organizations is high, and vice versa - in the municipal areas with a low level of industrial development the coverage of children by preschool educational organizations is poor. In the municipal areas oriented to the production of agricultural products the involvement of children in preschool education is low. The analysis results can serve as the basis for further research on the development of preschool education and be of practical importance in the development of strategic documents on the regional development.

Authors: Levchenko Tatiana Aleksandrovna
Published: September 2020

The article touches upon the problems of public-private partnership which is a relatively new tool for the regional development in Russia due to attracting additional private investments, including foreign ones, directed to the implementation of strategically and socially important projects. Today the development of public-private partnerships in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation remains uneven, there is a lack of private investment in some federal districts, including the Far Eastern Federal District, despite the priorities of the state policy. The rating of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District by the level of public-private partnership development in 2018-2019 has been presented. There has been studied the development of public-private partnership in Primorsky Krai in comparison with other regions of the Far Eastern Federal District, the meaning of the set of its constituent factors is revealed: development of the institutional environment, regulatory support and experience in implementing projects using public-private partnership mechanisms. The different forms of support for private investors used in Primorsky Krai have been analyzed. The factors hindering the development of public-private partnership in Primorye are formulated: lack of well-functioning mechanisms of communication between business and government in the projects of investment implementation, high risks for the private partners, and difficulties in attracting the required amount of investment. To minimize their action, there have been proposed measures for promoting public-private partnership mechanisms, raising the level of awareness of private investors, creating conditions to minimize risks for a private partner, developing the competencies of state bodies, introducing advanced practices in project preparation and management, expanding the range of projects with a focus on the transport sector.
Epistemologí­a reciprocitaria. Aportes para un diálogo entre la antropologí­a social y la investigación acción participativa
Authors: Cladera Jorge Luis
Published: September 2020

A partir de un esfuerzo por aproximar el programa epistemológico de la antropologí­a social y el de la IAP, se observan las semejanzas y las diferencias que ambas establecen en torno a la categorí­a de participación. A continuación se realiza un ejercicio de extrañamiento etnográfico sobre dos experiencias de IAP realizadas con comunidades indí­genas de Jujuy en las que el autor ha participado, lo que permite poner en evidencia dos roles diferentes de mediación social que resultan necesarios para procesos de IAP. Se propone que uno de esos roles, el de agente de estimulación, facilita accesos al campo social que permiten la integración del/la investigador/a en instancias denominadas epitallerí­sticas y metatallerí­sticas. Se propone una manera alternativa de abordar el contrato epistemológico de la IAP que recupera el concepto de participación de la tradición etnográfica, permitiendo así­ un ví­nculo de reciprocidad epistemológica como alternativa a la coautorí­a en tanto producto de la IAP, por el cual se obtienen dos productos y no uno solo: siendo el producto innovador para los sectores subalternos, el enfrentamiento colectivo de las incompletitudes de su vida social.
Leveraging Wildlife Tourism for Employment Generation and Sustainable Livelihoods: The Case of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Southern Africa
Authors: Lekgau Refiloe J. , Tichaawa Tembi M.
Published: September 2020

This study examined the contribution of wildlife tourism and conservation to employment generation and sustainable livelihoods of a community residing adjacent to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Southern Africa. Adopting a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with tourism stakeholders and focus group discussions with members of the community. The findings reveal wildlife tourism to have positively contributed towards providing diverse employment opportunities for the community. Additionally, the livelihood diversification strategies largely involved integrating the cultural and natural resources with the wilderness experience of the region. However, a major concern is the significant lack of linkages between wildlife tourism and the local economy of the community. While the study concludes wildlife tourism to be an important economic sector for the community, it recommends further integration of micro and small local businesses into wildlife tourism so as to enhance the contribution of the Park and wildlife tourism to community livelihoods.
Municipal caravan parks in South Africa: geography, management and planning
Authors: Rogerson Christian M. , Rogerson Jayne M.
Published: September 2020

Caravan parks are a largely overlooked theme in tourism scholarship. In South Africa, as in several other countries, local governments assumed an historical role in the establishment of caravan parks. Municipal caravan parks are assets which could be leveraged for tourism growth and local development. The planning and management of caravan parks in South Africa can be understood as an element of asset management by local governments. It is shown that across most of South Africa municipal ownership of caravan parks is of declining significance as compared to the dominance of privately owned parks. The coastal province of the Western Cape is the biggest focus for caravanning and for the location of all caravan parks, including for the largest cluster of municipal owned caravan parks in South Africa. Research interviews were conducted with local stakeholders concerning contemporary planning and management of caravan parks. The results reveal that most local municipalities currently are struggling to manage appropriately and optimally maximise for local development the operations of municipal caravan parks. Many municipalities are considering different options for privatisation through selling off or leasing parks to private sector investors.
