Published: April 2021

In recent years, the global demand for finished fish products is increased. Aquaculture raw materials are a rich source of nutrients for health. At the same time a large amount of fished fish raw materials are rejected and representing a losses. High-quality raw materials with technological defects are not in demand by the food production of fish products. Perishable substandard fish raw materials can be used in the production of combined fish products. The analysis of the fish catches global scale in the seas, oceans, farmed marine and freshwater aquaculture is carried out. An assessment of the market trends for the production and fish products consumption is made. This article provides an overview of targeted ingredient selection for balanced fish formulations. The characteristics of the most popular plant origin ingredients and their derivatives in the fish pates production are given. A comprehensive assessment of the biological, energy and nutritional value of plant products is given. Described technological approaches and production methods, the safety of vegetable ingredients. The results of research, technological solutions, substantiation of the choice of ingredients adopted by the developers for the formulations of multicomponent pate are summarized. The use of unclaimed raw materials, leftover fish meat with plant ingredients represents additional profit. Fish pate formulations are the basis for the production of complete, ready-to-eat products. Tests of multicomponent fish and vegetable products confirm their high performance. Pates, balanced in nutritional value, minerals, are a finished product that does not require additional preparation. The review article will generate awareness among the researchers, food technologists for the production of fish products and the general public.

Published: April 2021

This article researches the basic principles of mechanism for finding the concentrations of essential oils (EO) which are efficient for antimicrobial action, when used as a natural alternative to synthetic analogues. The effect of EO of rosemary, sage, garlic, laurel, cloves, basil and thyme on the structural components of meat, its physical and chemical, organoleptic and microbiological quality indices was studied. The effect of EO on duration of microorganisms’ growth phases is analyzed. It is shown that the reasonable concentration of the essential-oil mixture (EOM) is equal to 0.1%, since at this concentration the optimal inhibition of saprophytic microflora was provided with satisfactory organoleptic quality indices (“taste peculiar for this type of product”, “pleasant fragrance”, “spicy aroma”). The analysis of histological structural changes in muscle tissue showed that application of EOM slows down autolytic processes, which correlates with the data obtained in research of the specific electrical conductivity in water extracts from the muscle tissue. The autolysis process in the control samples was more intensive in comparison with the experimental samples stored in the EOM. Thus, by 84th hour of storage in the control sample the basophilic staining of the samples slices was observed, as well as almost complete disappearance of the striation of muscle fibers. In the muscle tissue slices the disintegration of individual fragments into myofibrils, and myofibrils into sarcomeres, was observed in form of a granular mass, sometimes enclosed in endomysium. The meat fibers were deformed and their separation was observed. The same changes with the studied samples stored in the EOM occurred only after 204 hours of storage. The above studies of changes in the specific electrical conductivity of water extract from meat during storage showed the presence of complexes of EOM components formed with proteins and lipids of muscle tissue. The obtained data are confirmed by histological studies. Thus, the use of EOM allowed elongation of the cold storage period of semi-finished natural lump products by 2.6 times, which proves the practical benefits of its use in the meat-processing industry.

Published: April 2021

Special education is a specialized area of education which uses unique instructional methods, materials, learning aids, and equipment to meet the educational needs of students with learning disabilities. Exceptional learner is an inclusive term that refers to students with learning and behavior problems, students with physical disabilities or sensory impairments, and students who are intellectually gifted or have a special talent. Computer games are increasingly part of the daily activities of students of all ages, and have been shown to support student motivation and learning however can be challenging to implement in the classroom. Gamification involves incorporating elements of computer games such as points, leaderboards, and badges into non-game contexts in order to take advantage of the motivation provided by a game environment. Based from literature analysis points, badges and achievements, leaderboards and levels are the most commonly implemented form of gamification. The study aims to determine to what extent gamification supports student achievement and motivation among exceptional learners. Incorporating gamification elements into exceptional learners’ environments can motivate students and support their achievement. Increased class attendance and participation, which is positively correlated with improved student performance, was seen as a result of gamification. The user acceptability test was used to determine the proficiency of the system to help the teachers in teaching exceptional learners in the approach of their learning. To test the acceptability of the developed system, the researchers floated an acceptability questionnaire to stakeholders where the target user enjoys exploring the content of the system. Based on their rating, the researchers motivated to enhance the functionality of the system. The target user strongly agrees with a ratio of 4.5 which mean that the system has the functionality needed in their school process
Effects of water-saving pruning on the growth and water consumption of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) in a loess hilly region with deep soil desiccation
Authors: Ma Jianpeng , Wang Xing , Zhao Xining , Zhang Wenfei , Wang Youke
Published: April 2021

In order to study whether jujube trees can grow normally under rain-fed conditions in loess hilly areas, we planted jujube trees (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) 4 years after felling a 23-year-old apple orchard. The growth process of the jujube trees and the variation in soil water content (SWC) were monitored for three consecutive years following planting in order to study the effects of the water-saving pruning (WSP) technique. Results showed the following. (1) The soil at a depth of 0–1,000 cm had been desiccated when the area was an apple orchard. (2) Under rain-fed conditions, the jujube trees with the WSP technique were always able to maintain normal growth while the jujube trees with conventional pruning method had a normal growth stage of only 4 years. The water use efficiency of the jujube trees with the WSP technique was much higher than that of the jujube trees with conventional pruning. We recommend WSP in jujube orchard management, because the jujube trees with WSP could maintain normal growth in the deep dried soils of the loess hilly region, as WSP can reduce the water consumption of the jujube trees and may have a positive effect on soil moisture restoration.

Background: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has better rate of patency and lower rate of complication compared to other vascular access for hemodialysis. One priority to be concerned is access failure for hemodialysis access is common findings and correspond with high healthcare cost, morbidity and mortality. Objective: This case report aimed to elaborate the proper management of patient with arterio fistula stenosis. Case Illustration: A man, 64 years old, stage V CKD with AVF in his left arm for hemodialysis access was admitted to our hospital due to difficulty in cannulation during his last hemodialysis. He had AVF For Hemodialysis access for two years. About 1 month before, he undergone surgery for creation of AVF for hemodialysis access in his right arm, but AVF was failed to reach maturation. Based on vascular doppler ultrasound (DUS) done in AVF of the left arm revealed there was stenosis in the juxta-anastomosis site and cephalic venous stenosis. Angioplasty was done in anastomose AVF and implantation of venous stent in the left cephalic vein. Conclusion: For patients on hemodialysis, vascular access is considered as the lifeline. Complications related to Vascular access is associated with morbidity and reduced quality of life. Surgery often difficult to do as readily as a percutaneous approach. In more than 80% of hemodialysis access underwent percutaneous interventions, flow was successfully restored. Based on this success rate, it has replaced surgical revision as the treatment of stenosis AVF.

Published: April 2021

This study aims to describe the current state of the implementation of waste management as part of public service provision in Pontianak Municipality, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. For this purpose, this study employed a qualitative descriptive approach by applying SWOT analysis accompanied by lessons learned from Japan. The findings indicated that there has been an increase in waste transportation services year by year and that the waste management carried out by Pontianak Municipality still primarily relies on landfill. Waste reduction efforts through 3R programs such as integrated waste treatment plant and waste bank have not shown significant results in reducing the generation of waste. Using SWOT analysis, several factors that affect the performance of waste management in Pontianak Municipality were identified. By considering those influencing factors and learning from best practices executed by Kyoto City, this study suggests that the government needs to develop an integrated waste management based on priority scale with measurable and realistic objectives, particularly those related to reduction and recycling activities as well as stakeholder‘s engagement.

Authors: Wicaksono Kristian Widya
Published: April 2021

In France, to reach a good career as the high-rank of government officials, people must join the Ecole National d’Administration (ENA). This situation put the ENA graduates (enarques) in the strategic position as the administrative elite but this special privilege gives the word egalité within higher education a hollow sound. This paper wants to know the impact of Ernarques on the merit system recruitments of high-rank civil servants. The method used in this paper writing is a systematic literature review. The results of this study show that it is not compulsory to dissolve ENA but we should treat ENA as an ordinary school for Public Administrator. Then, it is important to create another university that has the same concentration and access as ENA to procreate a fair competition. Finally,  we must invite diverse graduates to join the high-rank position to encourage innovation and competitive nuance in the public organization.

User Engagement and Usability of Suicide Prevention Apps: Systematic Search in App Stores and Content Analysis
Authors: Wilks Chelsey R , Chu Carol , Sim DongGun , Lovell Josh , Gutierrez Peter , Joiner Thomas , Kessler Ronald C , Nock Matthew K
Published: April 2021

Background

People with suicidal thoughts are more inclined to seek technology-delivered interventions than in-person forms of treatment, making mobile apps for suicide prevention an ideal platform for treatment delivery. This review examines apps designed for suicide prevention, with a specific focus on user engagement.

Objective

This study aims to update the literature and broadly evaluate the landscape of mobile health apps for suicide prevention; examine apps with key features and primary approaches to suicide prevention; and systematically evaluate the engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information of the apps.

Methods

All apps related to suicidal thoughts and behaviors were identified in the Google Play and iOS app stores and were systematically reviewed for their content and quality. The mobile app rating scale (MARS) was used to evaluate app usability and engagement.

Results

Of the 66 apps identified, 42 (64%) were specifically designed for people with suicidal ideation, and 59 (89%) had at least one best practice feature for suicide risk reduction. The mean overall MARS score of all apps was 3.5 (range 2.1-4.5), with 83% (55/66) of apps having a minimum acceptability score of 3. The total MARS score was not associated with the user app rating (r=−0.001; P=.99) or the number of features (r=0.24; P=.09).

Conclusions

This study identified many usable and engaging apps in app stores designed for suicide prevention. However, there are only limited apps for clinicians. Thus, mobile apps for suicide prevention should be carefully developed and clinically evaluated.
Evidence on Digital Mental Health Interventions for Adolescents and Young People: Systematic Overview (Preprint)
Authors: Lehtimaki Susanna , Martic Jana , Wahl Brian , Foster Katherine T , Schwalbe Nina
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND

An estimated 1 in 5 adolescents experience a mental health disorder each year; yet because of barriers to accessing and seeking care, most remain undiagnosed and untreated. Furthermore, the early emergence of psychopathology contributes to a lifelong course of challenges across a broad set of functional domains, so addressing this early in the life course is essential. With increasing digital connectivity, including in low- and middle-income countries, digital health technologies are considered promising for addressing mental health among adolescents and young people. In recent years, a growing number of digital health interventions, including more than 2 million web-based mental health apps, have been developed to address a range of mental health issues.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to synthesize the current evidence on digital health interventions targeting adolescents and young people with mental health conditions, aged between 10-24 years, with a focus on effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and generalizability to low-resource settings (eg, low- and middle-income countries).

METHODS

We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Cochrane databases between January 2010 and June 2020 for systematic reviews and meta-analyses on digital mental health interventions targeting adolescents and young people aged between 10-24 years. Two authors independently screened the studies, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the reviews.

RESULTS

In this systematic overview, we included 18 systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We found evidence on the effectiveness of computerized cognitive behavioral therapy on anxiety and depression, whereas the effectiveness of other digital mental health interventions remains inconclusive. Interventions with an in-person element with a professional, peer, or parent were associated with greater effectiveness, adherence, and lower dropout than fully automatized or self-administered interventions. Despite the proposed utility of digital interventions for increasing accessibility of treatment across settings, no study has reported sample-specific metrics of social context (eg, socioeconomic background) or focused on low-resource settings.

CONCLUSIONS

Although digital interventions for mental health can be effective for both supplementing and supplanting traditional mental health treatment, only a small proportion of existing digital platforms are evidence based. Furthermore, their cost-effectiveness and effectiveness, including in low- and middle-income countries, have been understudied. Widespread adoption and scale-up of digital mental health interventions, especially in settings with limited resources for health, will require more rigorous and consistent demonstrations of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness vis-à-vis the type of service provided, target population, and the current standard of care.

Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND

Internet addiction problem is becoming a significant public health concern nowadays, especially during Covid-19 pandemic. Internet Addiction Test (IAT) is one of the most popular questionnaires for evaluating the internet addiction level. Using the same questionnaire in the similar population, the prevalence of IA was ranging from 28.3% to 66.6% with possibly due to the Likert scale used. Different methods on treating “not applicable” option in the Likert scale used in IAT questionnaire might increase the variability in results, and this might not be aware especially when comparing the results among studies.

OBJECTIVE

This paper aims to compare the differences of results in terms of total scores and prevalence of IA on using four different methods on dealing with the “not applicable” option on the IAT questionnaire.

METHODS

A total of 417 undergraduate students were recruited from a public university in Malaysia to fill in the IAT questionnaire with six Likert scale that include the following options from “not applicable”, “rarely”, “occasionally”, “frequently”, “often” and “always”. The total score and prevalence of IA for four different methods (Method 1, Method 2, Method 3 and Method 4) on treating “not applicable” option were be compared.

RESULTS

Out of 20 questions in IAT questionnaire, there were 11 questions had more than 80% of answer rate but no question with 100% answer rate. Only 17.5% of respondents answered all the questions. The Cronbach alpha test showed that four methods had good reliability value (0.910-0.945). The mean ± standard deviation of total scores of IA for Method 1, Method 2, Method 3 and Method 4 were significantly different, with 49.15±15.60, 40.50±17.50, 44.31±15.11 and 48.15±15.08 respectively (P<0.001). Method 1 had significant highest prevalence of IA (43.4%), followed with Method 4 (40.0%), Method 2 (28.3%) and Method 3 (17.3%) (P<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Four methods on treating the “not applicable” option in the IAT questionnaire showed significant different results, with Method 1 showed significant highest mean total score and prevalence of IA compared to other methods. Researchers are advised to choose an appropriate method on treating the “not applicable” questions, and also be aware of this when comparing the results among different studies.

Published: April 2021

Os cursos de pós-graduação no Brasil, sobretudo na modalidade lato sensu, estão sempre norteados por discussões sobre potenciais remodelamentos em termos de formatos, uso da tecnologia, dinâmicas de aprendizado, dentre outros. Tal situação se consolidou devido a democratização do acesso ao conhecimento a partir da internet, por meio de massive online courses (MOOC) gratuitos oferecidos grandes melhores escolas do mundo, dentre diversas outras oportunidades. Logo, a demanda pela formação de pós-graduação se transforma em um pleito por experiências holísticas de aprendizado. A partir de então, o propósito dessa pesquisa é explorar quais são estas demandas, por meio da realização de entrevistas em profundidade com diferentes stakeholders dos cursos de pós graduação, quais sejam: alunos de pós-graduação lato sensu; egressos da pós-graduação lato sensu; prospects - estudantes de graduação; prospects - futuros alunos; profissionais de RH; e, professores de IES estrangeiras. Os resultados demonstraram que existem diferentes perspectivas a respeito dos caminhos a serem tomados pelas instituições de ensino em suas ofertas de pós-graduação, que se agrupam em demandas por competências que perpassam os conteúdos teóricos, experiências práticas, incorporação de novas tecnologias e preparação do corpo discente para um mercado de trabalho dinâmico.

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa que teve por objetivo identificar a percepção dos alunos do Ensino Médio da rede pública de ensino das cidades de Fazenda Vilanova, Teutônia e Westfália/RS em relação ao planejamento financeiro pessoal. Para isso, na sua revisão de literatura foram abordados os temas finanças pessoais, planejamento financeiro pessoal, educação financeira e importância do orçamento financeiro. Na sequência, efetuou-se um levantamento de dados, por meio de um questionário eletrônico estruturado, com 254 alunos. O estudo caracterizou-se por ser aplicado, quantitativo e descritivo. Constatou-se que boa parte dos alunos estão cientes sobre a importância de ter conhecimento quanto as finanças pessoais, foram educados financeiramente pelos pais e gostariam de aprender sobre o assunto em sala de aula.

O desenvolvimento sustentável na gestão da agricultura familiar é um modelo de gestão que considera os aspectos econômicos, sociais e ambientais, visando a proteção dos recursos humanos e naturais. Dessa maneira, este artigo objetiva analisar a percepção dos agricultores familiares sobre a transição do formato de produção tradicional para o agroecológico. A pesquisa foi realizada com quinze propriedades da agricultora familiar com atividades de lavoura permanente e associadas à Cooperativa Cooperlinda da cidade de Carlinda-MT. Os métodos do estudo foram compostos pela pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e survey (entrevistas). Os principais resultados apontam que os agricultores familiares entrevistados são jovens (até 40 anos), baixa escolaridade, com 1 e 2 filhos. A maioria dos agricultores familiares entrevistados (86,6%) não se sentem confortáveis na realização da transição do processo produtivo tradicional para uma base agroecológica, mas são conscientes de que os insumos químicos são prejudiciais à saúde.

This research was conducted to reveal a deeper understanding of my artistic practice that moves in between redefining my urban dance practice and an opening to ideas of contemporary choreography.
Based on studio sessions, interviews and reflections and using a variety of modalities for documentation, this practice-led research expands my artistic practice, bringing in sources of inspiration from dance, pedagogy, sociology and philosophy.
The main outcomes channeled into an emerging methodology that provides strategies to develop co-creative contemporary choreography.
This methodology can serve diverse creative contexts that foster the wish to collaborate and be imaginative.
Embedded in an upcoming artistic community of urban dance based choreographers this research seeks to define my space within the landscape of contemporary choreography.

Introduction. Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter (AF/AFL), the most
common atrial arrhythmias, have never been examined in combat
casualties. In this study, we investigated the impact of traumatic
injury on AF/AFL among service members with deployment history. Methods.
Sampled from the Department of Defense (DoD) Trauma Registry (n=10,000),
each injured patient in this retrospective cohort study was matched with
a non-injured service member drawn from the Veterans Affairs/DoD
Identity Repository. The primary outcome was AF/AFL diagnosis identified
using ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes. Competing risk regressions based on
Fine and Gray subdistribution hazards model with were utilized to assess
the association between injury and AF/AFL. Results. There were 130
reported AF/AFL cases, 90 of whom were injured and 40 were non-injured.
The estimated cumulative incidence rates of AF/AFL for injured was
higher compared to non-injured patients (HR = 2.04; 95% CI = 1.44,
2.87). After adjustment demographics and tobacco use, the association
did not appreciably decrease (HR = 1.90; 95% CI = 1.23, 2.93).
Additional adjustment for obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and vascular
disorders, the association between injury and AF/AFL was no longer
statistically significant (HR: 1.51; 95% CI = 0.99, 2.52). Conclusion.
Higher AF/AFL incidence rate was observed among deployed service members
with combat injury compared to servicemembers without injury. The
association did not remain significant after adjustment for
cardiovascular-related covariates. These findings highlight the need for
combat casualties surveillance to further understand the AF/AFL risk
within the military population and to elucidate the potential underlying
pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric disorders
associated with dementia cause stigma against Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
in both patients, caregivers, and healthy individuals in public. To the
best of our knowledge, since stigma against AD is not investigated in
the Turkish public, we wanted to evaluate the stigma of healthy Turkish
people according to their demographic characteristics in our study.
Materials and Methods: 439 healthy participants without any history of
neurological and/or systemic disease were included in this
cross-sectional observational study. Demographic characteristics and
knowledge about the AD of the participants were recorded. A ten-question
survey was applied to the participants to assess the stigmatization
against AD. Factors associated with the stigma score were evaluated in
regression analysis. Results: 253 men and 186 women were included in
this study (mean age: 35.7 ± 9.8 years ). Most of them had knowledge
about AD (94.3%). Only 18.5% had a family history of AD. Sixty-five
percent had married. 95 of 439 persons (21.6%) worked in health fields.
60.6% of healthy participants had a moderate-high stigma against AD.
The mean stigma score was 8.95 ± 4.79. Total stigma scores were higher
in women and single persons (p = 0.001 / p< 0.001). Healthcare
workers expressed the highest levels of stigma (p < 0.001).
Age, knowledge, and family history of AD did not influence stigma.
Shame, loss of self-esteem, and fear of exclusion were expressed the
most. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study
that evaluated perceived stigma against AD in the Turkish healthy
population. The higher incidence of stigma among women and single
persons can be explained by cultural reasons. Stigma in health
professionals may lead to delay in early diagnosis and management of AD.
Further studies of perceived stigma are necessary to improve
intervention strategies.
INFLUÊNCIA DAS OSCILAÇÕES DO PREÇO DO BARRIL DE PETRÓLEO NAS INFORMAÇÕES CONTÁBEIS DE EMPRESAS PETROLÍFERAS

O trabalho tem o objetivo de examinar o impacto das crises do mercado de petróleo de 2008 e 2015 no valor das empresas petrolíferas, analisando a relevância das informações contábeis sumarizadas no patrimônio líquido e lucro líquido frente ao preço das ações dessas empresas nos períodos em que ocorreram grandes oscilações no preço do barril de petróleo. Utilizou-se de regressões com dados em painel em uma amostra composta por 51 empresas do setor petrolífero listadas na New York Stock Exchange no período de 2001 a 2015. Os resultados demonstraram que os períodos de crise afetam o valor de mercado das empresas do segmento petrolífero. Observou-se também que o patrimônio líquido foi afetado negativamente, enquanto o lucro líquido não sofreu influência estatisticamente significante. Os resultados são parcialmente coerentes com os estudos de Graham, Bailes e King (2000), Davis-Friday e Gordon (2005) e Davis-Friday, Eng e Liu (2006), mas divergente com Alte (2014), que apontou o lucro líquido como mais relevante nas crises. Este estudo ganha relevância em função de analisar a qualidade da informação contábil no contexto de crise no mercado de óleo e gás, permitindo um avanço no conhecimento da área sobre o tema.
