Hvad blev der af ’normalen’?
Authors: Brandt Ryborg Jønsson Alexandra , Brandt Brodersen John
Published: April 2023

Resume Antallet af børn og unge som diagnosticeres med en psykisk sygdom er stigende. Det betyder dog ikke, at alle de diagnosticerede børn har en sygdom, fordi denne stigning også delvist kan være et udtryk for overdiagnostik. I denne oversigtsartikel redegør vi for, med baggrund i nyeste viden og publicerede artikler, hvad psykiske diagnoser hos børn er, og hvorfor der kan forekomme overdiagnostik. Vi viser desuden, at opfattelser af det ’normale’ ændres, både fordi symptomer kan blive så udbredte, at det ikke længere giver mening at tale om symptomer, men om normal-tilstande, og fordi der er en øget tendens til at medikalisere og diagnosticere adfærd, der er en reaktion på specifikke begivenheder. Vi argumenterer for, at det er en væsentlig baggrundsviden at have for dem, som er beskæftiget inden for det pædagogiske område, særligt i folkeskolen, hvor børnene har den alder, de oftest diagnosticeres i. Vi slutter derfor med en diskussion af overdiagnostik i et pædagogisk perspektiv. Den pædagogiske faglighed kan være nøglen til at være mere præcis over for, hvordan en given adfærd skal tolkes – og kan derved medvirke til, at færre børn bliver overdiagnosticerede med en diagnose, de aldrig får gavn af. Abstract Leaving Normal? How overdiagnosis enter and form the field of pedagogic practiceThe number of children and adolescents diagnosed with mental diseases is rising. It does, however, not mean that all these children necessarily have a mental disease; overdiagnosis is a well-known problem among medical researchers, but the pedagogical researchers and staff also need this insight. In this paper, we provide an overview of mental diagnoses among children and adolescents, the diagnostic procedures that may lead to overdiagnosis and how the concept of normal are constantly changing. This is relevant for the pedagogical staff that will evidently meet children with severe and invalidating mental illnesses, but also children, whose illness and symptoms are potentially overdiagnosed. The professional insights from pedagogy and pedagogical research are much needed if we are to improve the diagnostic process by input to better distinguish between the children who will need medical attention – and thus a diagnosis – and children who may have challenges, but not related to any medical conditions.
Familier på spil

Published: April 2023

ResuméStigma er et stærkt socialt fænomen der opererer ud fra kraftige, og socialt smittende, bagvedliggende mekanismer. Erfarer et individ først at være blevet tilskrevet et stigma, kan det være umuligt for vedkommende at ryste de tilhørende negative forståelser af sig igen. Denne artikel stiller skarpt på konsekvenserne af de stigmatiserende processer, der styrer forståelser og forventninger til mennesker med handicap, og deres familier, i deres lokalsamfund. Ved at koble en pædagogisk antropologisk metode med et kropsfænomenologisk perspektiv belyser artiklen de konsekvenser, som tilskrivningen af stigma får for hele familiers trivsel og livskvalitet. Ved empiriske nedslag i et ugandisk studie tydeliggøres de stigmatiserende processer, der her påvirker livet for mennesker med handicap og deres nære relationer. Ved at inddrage vidnesbyrd og studier af danske familiers erfaringer i konteksten af disse analytiske fund fra Uganda kan vi observere paralleller mellem de stigmatiserende processer, der finder sted i de to lande – blot i forskellige former. Artiklen argumenterer for vigtigheden af at medtænke konsekvenserne af stigma i nutidig og fremtidig forskning, og i det sociale arbejde med familier med medlemmer med handicap.AbstractFamilies at Stake: On Disability and the Spread of StigmaStigma is a powerful social phenomenon that operates through compelling mechanisms. For an individual who is ascribed a stigma, it may be impossible to shake off the negative connotations of the stigma. This article draws attention to the consequences of the processes of stigma, which steer the beliefs and actions of the people in local communities and shapes their understandings and expectations of people with disabilities, as well as of their families. By combining an educational anthropological perspective with a phenomenological approach, this article highlights the consequences that the attribution of stigma can have on the well-being and quality of life of entire families. Leveraging empirical findings from a Ugandan study, this work sheds light in particular on the implications of stigma for the lives of families comprising members with a disability. By looking into public testimonies and studies of the experiences of Danish families in the context of these analytical findings from Uganda, parallels between the processes of stigmatization taking place, albeit in other forms, are observed. In conclusion, this article argues that the impact of stigma, and its implications for entire families with members with disabilities, should be considered in contemporary and future research and social work.

Published: April 2023

AbstractI forskningsprojektet ’Må jeg være med’ (Skovbjerg, Hansen, Sand, Jensen, Lieberoth, Lehrman og Jørgensen, 2022) har vi som en del af projektet udforsket, hvordan pædagoger håndterer inklusions- og eksklusionsprocesser i relation til leg, samt hvilken betydning pædagogers håndtering af disse processer har for børns mulighed for deltagelse i leg. Artiklens analyser viser, at pædagogers håndtering af inklusions- og eksklusionsprocesser ikke i tilstrækkelig grad bidrager til, at børn i legevanskeligheder støttes i at blive deltagere i leg. Artiklen giver afslutningsvis anbefalinger til væsentlige opmærksomhedspunker i pædagogers arbejde med i højere grad at skabe deltagelsesmuligheder for alle børn i relation til leg.

Authors: Georgsen Marianne , Jørnø Rasmus , Petersen Lars , Tafdrup Oliver
Published: April 2023

I artiklen beskrives og analyseres, hvordan kompetenceudvikling af undervisere i teknologiforståelse på læreruddannelsen har fundet sted gennem anvendelse af et laboratorieformat. Indholdsmæssigt har kompetenceudviklingen skullet favne en teknologisk, en fag-faglig og en almendidaktisk indholdsdimension. I projektet har man taget udgangspunkt i udviklingslaboratoriet som et sted, der er afgrænset fra den almindelige verden, hvor deltagerne kan stille nye typer af spørgsmål gennem et praktisk arbejde med undersøgelser og eksperimenter, og hvor formatet potentielt kan transformere undervisningspraksis, idet der er åbne rammer for at eksperimentere. Det undersøges, hvordan deltagerne omsætter laboratorieformatet i praksis. Den indledende tese er, at udviklingslaboratoriet udgør et løst defineret format, der i høj grad formes af både koordinatorer og deltagere. Disse processer analyseres i artiklen som artikulationsarbejde, dvs. koordinerende og strukturerende arbejde, der udføres for at få praksis til at fungere. Med afsæt i observations- og interviewdata undersøges forskellige aktør-perspektiver ifm. udviklingslaboratorierne, og herigennem illustreres en mangfoldighed af perspektiver og oplevelsesarenaer. På baggrund af analyserne konkluderes det, at det er muligt at realisere formatet ift. intentionen, men også at implementeringen af formatet i en mere rutinemæssig form medfører større udfordringer.
Conflict Prevention in the Framework of Contemporary Government Procedures and International Cooperation
Authors: Brambila Martinez Francisco Javier
Published: April 2023

This article reviews the basic functions and interactions of the state with diverse stakeholders on a global level to identify the sources of conflict on a contemporary setting. The subject of this research is the measurement of state capacity as an outcome of governance largely influenced by the process of globalization and its repercussions on conflict prevention. The goal consists on finding possible solutions to the contemporary capacity-sovereignty dilemma under the relationship of the state with international policy brokers to shield its functions from foreign interference and threats without undermining its international participation and growth. The core definitions and characteristics of governance are determined to reveal the peculiarities and limitations of the state in preventing conflicts. The interactions of the state with a wide array of stakeholders on a global level are analyzed to assess the nature of their outcomes in relation to governance and state capacity. The capacity and legitimacy of international policy brokers in conveying the national interests of the state in the framework of international cooperation are reviewed. In order to achieve the set research goal, the author reviews the core functions of the state when interacting with international stakeholders of different configurations. In order to create the necessary conditions for conflict prevention, this work recommends the development of flexible government procedures to shield the core functions of the state as unimpeded cooperation is carried in all areas. This article provides a theoretical framework applicable to a wide array of contemporary nations for supporting the examination and elaboration of dedicated mechanisms in the conflict prevention area by reviewing the elemental processes of the state rather than analyzing particular conflicts and their causes.

Authors: Borevich Ekaterina Vladislavovna
Published: April 2023

The research is aimed at studying the elements that affect the visual perception of the film frame in order to develop methodological recommendations for the process harmonization of the film frame. The object of research is a film frame. The subject of the research is the technology of film frame processing. The purpose of this work is to obtain experimental data of the film frame viewing pattern and to identify statistical patterns to confirm or refute the formulated hypothesis. The goal of the study is to conduct an experimental study of the influence of composition on the parameters of the film frame viewing pattern. The influence of the factor of the mutual ratio of the areas of the centers of interest to the background on the parameters of the template for viewing the stimulus material is investigated. As a result, the methodology has been developed for conducting experimental studies of human perception of visual information using an eye-tracking software and hardware complex. When analyzing data on the influence of the objects size factor. The results obtained show that under the condition that objects occupy a small area of the frame, the observer needs more time to consider this frame. As well as in the case when objects occupy most of the frame (more than 40%). In the first case, due to the small size of the objects, it becomes more difficult for the observer to find objects in the frame space. In the second case, it takes time to identify objects, since they tend to be perceived as a background due to their large size.
Transcriptomics reveals the effects of NTRK1 on endoplasmic reticulum stress response-associated genes in human neuronal cell lines
Authors: Jiao Bo , Zhang Mi , Zhang Caixia , Cao Xueqin , Liu Baowen , Li Ningbo , Sun Jiaoli , Zhang Xianwei
Published: April 2023

Background

NTRK1 gene, encoding TrkA, is essential for the nervous system and drives a variety of biological processes, including pain. Given the unsatisfied analgesic effects of some new drugs targeting NTRK1 in clinic, a deeper understanding for the mechanism of NTRK1 in neurons is crucial.

Methods

We assessed the transcriptional responses in SH-SY5Y cells with NTRK1 overexpression using bioinformatics analysis. GO and KEGG analyses were performed, PPI networks were constructed, and the functional modules and top 10 genes were screened. Subsequently, hub genes were validated using RT-qPCR.

Results

A total of 419 DEGs were identified, including 193 upregulated and 226 downregulated genes. GO showed that upregulated genes were mainly enriched in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, protein folding in ER, etc., and downregulated genes were highly enriched in a series of cellular parts and cellular processes. KEGG showed DEGs were enriched in protein processing in ER and pathways associated with cell proliferation and migration. The finest module was dramatically enriched in the ER stress response-related biological process. The verified seven hub genes consisted of five upregulated genes (COL1A1, P4HB, HSPA5, THBS1, and XBP1) and two downregulated genes (CCND1 and COL3A1), and almost all were correlated with response to ER stress.

Conclusion

Our data demonstrated that NTRK1 significantly influenced the gene transcription of ER stress response in SH-SY5Y cells. It indicated that ER stress response could contribute to various functions of NTRK1-dependent neurons, and therefore, ER stress response-associated genes need further study for neurological dysfunction implicated in NTRK1.

Authors: Castaneda Jinella Marie , Japos Genaro , Templonuevo Wenifreda
Published: April 2023

COVID-19 had remarkable effects on different sectors and industries that pushed them to cope and adjust to the abrupt change in all facets globally. Including universities and colleges, management prepared an effective action plan in response to the current crisis. Institutions decided to adopt the hybrid work model where employees, including the management and educators, work by turns from home or remotely and on-site. The study uses the literature review to investigate available scientific literature on the possible effects of the hybrid work model on the employees' work productivity, specifically in a higher education institution. The sources and references came from research databases such as Google Scholar, the Open Access Directory Journals, and other websites. The results suggest that employees should feel and experience positive well-being, a sense of belongingness in terms of collaboration, and continuous innovation to cope with the new set-up of hybridity, which will not compromise their work productivity.

A Study of Approaches and Measures aimed at Securing Biometric Fingerprint Templates in Verification and Identification Systems
Authors: Mwema Joseph , Kimani Stephen , Kimwele Michael
Published: April 2023

The need for fool proof authentication procedures away from traditional authentication mechanisms like passwords, security PINS has led to the advent of biometric authentication in information systems. Biometric data extracted from physiological features of a person including but not limited to fingerprints, palm prints, face or retina for purpose of verification & identification is saved as biometric templates. The inception of biometrics in access control systems has not been without its own hitches & like other systems it has its fair share of challenges. Biometric fingerprints being the most mature of all biometric spheres are the most widely adopted biometric authentication systems. Biometric systems effectiveness lies on how secure they are at preventing inadvertent disclosure of biometric templates in an information systemâ€™s archive. This however has not been the case as biometric templates have been fraudulently accessed to gain unauthorized access in identification and verification systems. In order to achieve strong and secure biometric systems, biometric systems developers need to build biometric systems that properly secure biometric templates. Several biometric template protection schemes and approaches have been proposed and used to safeguard stored biometric templates. Despite there being various biometric template protection schemes and approaches in existence, none of them has provided the most authentic, reliable, efficient and deterrent means to totally secure biometric fingerprint templates. This research sought to establish status of the current biometric template protection techniques and methods by conducting a survey and analyzing data gathered from a sample of seventy-eight (78) respondents. We will report these results and give our conclusion based on findings of the survey in this paper.

Published: April 2023

Este artigo registra o propósito de refletir sobre as transformações do jornalismo a partir da incorporação dos aparatos digitais pelas redações. Fundamentando-se na pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter exploratório e interdisciplinar em áreas de Comunicação Social e Tecnologia Digital, foi possível visualizar as mudanças das atividades e os problemas que afligem o jornalismo comercial contemporâneo, cada vez mais convergente e multiplataforma. Fatores como velocidade de produção, tempo de resposta, aceitação da mensagem pela audiência em tempo real, criação de conteúdos em múltiplas versões, valorização e até a superestimação dos conteúdos imagéticos nas mensagens feitas para todos os veículos, a personalização constante das linguagens utilizadas, o uso crescente de bots para realizar diversas atividades nas redes e plataformas informáticas, como a programação para mecanismos de busca e interpretação de algoritmos para monitorar redes sociais digitais, dentre outros recursos e atividades comunicativas que passaram a impor ao jornalista um rol de conhecimentos cada vez mais vasto com exigências e rotinas profissionais muito mais abrangentes e especializadas. Atualmente, a produção jornalística exige de seus profissionais diversas habilidades tecnológicas, amplos e diversificados repertórios informativos e versatilidade editorial, que vão além dos repertórios obtidos com a formação universitária, são qualidades adquiridas e aprimoradas durante a produção cotidiana de linguagens multimiádicas sobre várias temáticas para atender diversos tipos de veículos informativos. É primordial a atualização e o traquejo profissional em um momento de constante transformação das tecnologias, dos modos de produção e financiamento dos veículos,  de processos de apuração, edição em várias linguagens híbridas com divulgação informativa realizados em espaços de tempo cada vez mais reduzidos. A maior parte das atividades realizadas utiliza equipamentos que combinam hardwares e aplicativos digitais potentes, versáteis e atualizados, tanto para produzir bens materiais quanto para criar produtos simbólicos. Aumenta a depedência de novos bens de capital providos por recursos produtivos e financeiros digitalizados que em menos de meio século superaram as matrizes analógicas industriais,   comerciais e comunicativas, cuja utilização tornou-se predominante nas últimas décadas do século XIX, entre as “sociedades desenvolvidas.” Os novos meios e as relações laborais digitais  possibilitam produtuvidade e lucratividade muito maior do que aquelas obtidas pelas antigas formas de produção fabril, pelos serviços e o comércio físico.

Authors: Padhy Shalini , Shwara Deepti Thandave ShwaraDeepti Thandave , Doreswamy Srinivasa Murthy , Krishnamurthy Vani
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis is the third most frequent cause of neonatal mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment are very crucial for successful outcome. Blood culture, which is the gold standard for diagnosis, will not be available early for appropriate management. Haematological Sepsis Scoring (HSS) is a rapid, low-cost sensitive lab tool for diagnosing neonatal sepsis. Modification of HSS (Sepscore) done by removal of repetitive parameters and addition of Neonate Red Blood Cells (nRBC) which are elevated in sepsis, have higher specificity. Aim: To compare the diagnostic utility of the modified HSS (Sepscore) with Rodwell’s HSS. Materials and Methods: The prospective analytical study was conducted over 18 months in a tertiary care hospital in South India blood samples of 350 neonates admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with signs of sepsis were evaluated by HSS and Sepscore. The sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and likelihood ratios of Sepscore and cut-off value of the Sepscore using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve for diagnosis of neonatal sepsis was determined. Results: A total of 146 of 350 (41.7%) had neonatal sepsis and rest served as controls. A total of 188 (53.7%) of our subjects were preterm. The cut-off was determined as three for both HSS and Sepscore. The sensitivity and specificity of HSS were 71% and 54% whereas that of Sepscore was 68% and 61%, respectively. The diagnostic ability of Sepscore was found to be significantly higher than that of HSS (p=0.0094). Conclusion: Sepscore has a higher specificity and marginally lower sensitivity compared to the HSS in neonatal sepsis.

Aim: In view of high cost of agar in Nigeria, the study evaluated the suitability of cocoyam starch and cocoyam starch-agar blends as alternative gelling agents in mycological culture media.
Methodology: Media characteristics and ability of the media to support growth and sporulation of the test fungi A. niger and A. flavus were determined using standard procedures. Potato dextrose agar (PDA) served as the control medium.
Results: Addition of cocoyam starch to the media did not significantly affect media clarity, viscosity, and ease of pouring. Media in which cocoyam starch made up 57% or less of the gelling agent solidified while those with higher contents of starch were either semi solid or watery. Mean radial growth ranges were 75.00 ± 0.70 – 84.00 ± 1.00 mm and 77.50 ± 0.50 – 86.50 ± 0.50 mm for A. niger and A. flavus respectively. Cocoyam starch-agar blend (4:3) medium produced significantly higher mean radial growth (84.00 ± 1.00 mm and 86.00 ± 0.50 mm for A. niger and A. flavus respectively) than all the other treatments (P = .05). Mean spore counts per mycelial disc of the various media ranged from 8.6×103 to 9.3×103 for A. niger and 7.9×103 to 9.5×103 for A. flavus. Though both fungi sporulated well on all the media, the PDA medium and the 2 g of cocoyam starch + 4 g of agar medium had significantly higher mean spore counts compared to the other media.
Conclusion: The findings show that cocoyam starch can partially substitute agar as gelling agent in mycological culture media.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of Ficus thonningii leaf powder (FTLP) and vitamin                                          C supplemented diets on performance and haemato-biochemical status of two strains of broiler chickens.

Methodology: Four hundred and eighty-one-day-old of Arbor acre (AB) and Cobb 500 (CO) broiler chicks were randomized to eight dietary treatments; diet 1 and 2 (Control), diets 3 and 4 (200mg/kg vitamin C inclusion), diets 5 and 6 (1% inclusion of FTLP) and (diets 7 and 8 (200mg/kg + 1% FTLP inclusions) for AB and CO strains respectively.

Results: Result shows that feed intake, body weight gain and FCR were significant (P<0.05) at the starter phase. Interaction between strains and vitamin C were also significant (P<0.05) for body weight gain, FCR and feed intake. Vitamin C and FTLP supplementation significantly (P<0.05) improved the erythrocytes count while the MCV, MCH, WBC and lymphocytes of birds fed diets 2 and 6 were significantly (P<0.05) higher than the other diets. The dietary supplementation of vitamin C and FTLP shows that strain AB had a significantly (P<0.05) higher erythrocytes count than CO strain while the CO showed significant (P<0.05) improvement for the MCV and MCH. Vitamin C supplementation showed significant difference (P<0.05) for the RBC and the interaction of vitamin C and FTLP significantly (P<0.05) improved PCV, HB, MCV, MCH, WBC and lymphocytes. The interactive effect of vitamin C and FTLP significantly (P<0.05) improved the total protein and albumin. Cholesterol and creatinine levels were significantly (P<0.05) lowered by the inclusion of vitamin C and FTLP.

Conclusion: As observed in this study, the inclusion of FTLP and vitamin C as a supplement in the diets of broiler chickens improved the performance, haematological indices and serum biochemical status of the tested birds.

There is increasing demand for fish products worldwide. To meet the growing demand there has been increased shift from wild-caught fish to farm-based production. The adoption of best practices in aquaculture is imperative in meeting this natural demand. This study investigated the adoption of best technological and management practices, challenges and productivity of fish-ponds among smallholder aquaculture farmers in Kakemega County, Kenya. Purposive and stratified sampling techniques were used to select 27 aquaculture farmers in 3 out of 12 Sub counties in the area, for interviews. Nine recommended technologies and management practices were used to develop an adoption index for each interviewee. Fish pond productivity was significantly lower for adopters below the median index; t (24) = -3.088, P = .005, with a mean of 196.3 g/m2 for lower index adopters and 449.5 g/m2 for the higher index. Variances in productivity were high. The study finds that the major on-farm challenges included; fish predators, poor quality feeds, insecurity and lack of quality fingerlings. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to test the deviation of views from neutral; score of 3 on a 5-point scale. Market unavailability was not a significant constraint.  There was high demand for fish products. Access to technical information was above 3 (median =4). Risk rating significantly deviated from neutral; there was a view that aquaculture was a risky venture. There were no extreme views on its profitability. In conclusion, the adoption of the technologies aided the productivity. The fish-pond productivity was relatively low and faced major challenges that need to be addressed to enhance the adoption of best practices and increase output from the ponds. Actions by stakeholders to address the challenges both at farm level and at policy level are recommended. Training on risk management strategies for the aquaculture farmers is recommended.

North Karnataka comprises thirteen districts that possess different rainfall patterns, soil types and cropping systems. The dynamic nature of climate necessitates assessment of climate variability and local level long range forecasts for adoption of suitable cropping systems in tropical regions. Long period data of rainfall from 1951 to 2017 (67 years) over the thirteen districts were subjected to serial correlation techniques to identify important lag years with significant serial correlation coefficient for annual rainfall, and for seasonal and monthly rainfall for Dharwad district as a pilot study. Significant serial correlation coefficient were identified in these series to develop auto-regression models. These models assessed through hindcast indicated that, except the adjacently located districts of Bagalkot, Kalaburgi and Yadgir, significant association existed between the other districts indicating the possibility of ahead of season forecast of rainfall for these districts. Significant association was also noticed between actual and hindcast values of seasonal and monthly rainfall in Dharwad district and therefore, have potential for selection of crops and cropping systems for the Dharwad district in advance. Thus, the results can be well adopted for crop planning well in advance at district level for better results and adoption. The seasonal and monthly forecast models as indicated for Dharwad district can be of immense help to advise the cropping systems/patterns for the ensuing the Kharif and the Rabi crops, particularly Sorghum variety CSH-1, M35-1 and wilt resistant Chickpeas variety BRG-5 were recommended for late sown conditions and low rainfall region in October for Dharwad district.
