Maternal and Infant Care Beliefs and Practices of Aeta Mothers in Central Luzon, Philippines
Authors: Leabres Jr. Juanito , Jose Marlon , Nuqui Alvin , Nogoy Jessie , Pudadera Rene , Ramos Wilfredo 
Published: February 2020

Background: This study attempts at understanding the Aetas concept of maternal and infant care, specifically, beliefs and practices of Aeta mothers during pregnancy, childbirth and care of the infant.
Methodology: Qualitative descriptive design was utilized in this research. Forty Aeta mothers were informants of this study selected via purposive sampling. Participant observation, formal and informal interviews and examination of relevant documents were the instruments for data collection.
Findings: Most respondents were between 16-27 years old, from the province of Zambales, with two pregnancies and one living child. The majority had home deliveries attended by traditional birth attendants or next of kin and had visits to the Rural Health Units for a prenatal check-up. It was found that most Aeta mothers usually visit the Rural Health Unit in their second trimester. The mothers also rely on traditional beliefs and practices passed on from elders of the community particularly on diet, hygiene, and faith in God, preparation prior to delivery, cord care and use of placenta.
Conclusion: The findings showed that the majority of the Aeta mothers interviewed adhered to some form of belief and practice that were passed to them by their elders.
Implication: Stakeholders such as government and non-government organizations should pursue promoting and enriching beliefs and practices of the Aeta and reinforcing programs with an emphasis on indigenous minorities to follow safe delivery and motherhood practices that are culturally acceptable.
Responsibility: to the problem of the category conceptualization
Authors: DZIOBAN O. , RUBAN O. 
Published: February 2020

In the article the phenomenon of responsibility is considered as a socio-historical phenomenon that appears as a result of the emergence and development of social relations and as a characteristic of relations between the individual, social group and society as a whole. The key conceptual approaches to the understanding of responsibility in the history of the development of philosophical culture are analyzed. It is concluded that a major trend in information society is ubiquitous abdication of responsibility at virtually every level of its manifestation, which allows to talk about the asymmetry of society development : the extremely high degree of technological development is accompanied by the degradation of ethics and morality. This becomes theprimary contradiction, that generates social conflicts, from interpersonal to international.
Human and citizen rights and freedoms: conceptual approaches to differentiation in Germany and Ukraine
Authors: CОSІLОVА О. , FЕDІRCО I. 
Published: February 2020

The article analyzes the relationship between human rights and rights of citizens in general and in Ukraine and Germany particular. Basic approaches to the classification of human rights are explored. It is emphasized that, unlike human rights, which apply to all persons without restriction, the rights of the citizen cover the sphere of legal relations of the individual with the state, characterized by the presence of citizenship. It is emphasized that in Germany the freedoms are part of the rights of individuals and are defined as “rights to liberties”, while having a negative status, which implies minimization of state influence and interference. The legal status of foreigners in both countries and the peculiarities of the exercise of their rights and freedoms are analyzed.
Laminar Flame Speeds in Degenerate Oxygen–Neon Mixtures
Authors: Schwab Josiah , Farmer R. , Timmes F. X. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The collapse of degenerate oxygen–neon cores (i.e., electron-capture supernovae or accretion-induced collapse) proceeds through a phase in which a deflagration wave (“flame”) forms at or near the center and propagates through the star. In models, the assumed speed of this flame influences whether this process leads to an explosion or to the formation of a neutron star. We calculate the laminar flame speeds in degenerate oxygen–neon mixtures with compositions motivated by detailed stellar evolution models. These mixtures include trace amounts of carbon and have a lower electron fraction than those considered in previous work. We find that trace carbon has little effect on the flame speeds, but that material with electron fraction

has laminar flame speeds that are

times faster than those at

. We provide tabulated flame speeds and a corresponding fitting function so that the impact of this difference can be assessed via full star hydrodynamical simulations of the collapse process.
Hablamos Español: Crossing Communication Barriers with the Latino Population
Authors: Amerson Roxanne , Burgins Shelley 
Published: February 2020

This article outlines the retrospective study of a pilot project to teach Spanish phrases related to health care to students of an associate degree nursing program. This project was initiated in response to the documented increase in the Latino population in upstate South Carolina. In the decade from 1990 to 2000, four counties in this region documented increases in the Latino population at greater than 60%.
The nursing faculty began teaching simple Spanish phrases prior to each lecture and provided opportunities for students to earn extra credit points on unit examinations for correct translations. The planning and implementation process is described, and descriptive statistics are documented to provide a basic evaluation of success rates for the participating students. The focus of this project was to facilitate communication with Latino clients by teaching students common phrases and simple questions in the Spanish language.
Incorporating Research into Associate Degree Nursing Curricula
Authors: McEnroe Ayers Denise M. , Coeling Harriet 
Published: February 2020

All nurses are urged to be involved in research as participants and/or consumers. Such involvement may range from using research findings to participating in one or more of the research process steps to serving as principle investigator of a funded study. Clinicians at the bedside, including associate degree (AD) nurses, are well positioned to contribute to the body of nursing knowledge and enhance nursing care by identifying nursing care problems worthy of research, collecting data for nursing studies, and applying research findings in the care they provide.
Minimal literature has addressed the preparation of AD students to assist in the research process. In this article, we describe how one AD program prepared students for their role as research participants. Content about the research process was presented in an easy-to-understand, clinically focused manner, and a brief research experience was provided to motivate and prepare these students for research involvement as nurses prepared at the AD level. The educational objectives were met, although time constraints limited students' opportunity to learn about research.
Non-crop habitats serve as a potential source of spotted-wing drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae) to adjacent cultivated highbush blueberries (Ericaceae)

Published: February 2020

AbstractNative to southeast Asia, the spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura); Diptera: Drosophilidae) has become a major pest of small fruits in the Americas and Europe. Field studies were conducted over a two-year period (2015–2016) in cultivated highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum Linnaeus; Ericaceae) fields and adjacent non-crop habitats containing wild blueberries in New Jersey (United States of America). We tracked seasonal changes in D. suzukii adult abundance and fruit infestation throughout the ripening period (June–August). In both years, D. suzukii adult counts post-harvest were generally higher in traps located in non-crop habitats compared with those located in highbush blueberry fields. Wild and cultivated fruits synchronised in maturation, and the numbers of eggs laid and of emerged adults in both fruit types were comparable for most of the season, although sometimes these numbers were higher in wild fruits post-harvest. Overall, immature success (measured as the per cent egg-to-adult survival) was also mostly higher in wild than in cultivated fruits. Altogether, these studies document that non-crop habitats, and wild hosts therein, are used by D. suzukii during fruit ripening and may serve as potential sources of infestation to nearby highbush blueberry fields. Hence, methods that reduce D. suzukii populations in non-crop habitats may help manage this pest in neighbouring highbush blueberries.
Constitution, Democratie et Etat
Authors: Rousseau Dominique 
Published: February 2020

Une pensée unique se diffuse ainsi dans le Monde entier répétant que le Droit et en particulier la Constitution seraient responsables tout à la fois de l’affaiblissement des Etats, de la dissolution des identités nationales, de la colère des peuples, de la crise des démocraties et de la montée des populismes. Et, au bout de cette pensée, naturellement, la dénonciation de la Constitution. Moins de constitution pour plus de démocratie, telle est la nouvelle devise. Grave erreur! La conjoncture politique actuelle invite à mettre le droit en position de résistance à un glissement généralisé des sociétés européennes vers une conception et une pratique sécuritaires du pouvoir. Moins de constitution c’est plus de populisme car c’est la constitution qui construit le citoyen quand le populisme se réfère aux “gens” et ce sont les droits constitutionnels qui font accéder à la délibération publique quand le populisme les efface pour mieux.
Youth Athletes’ Moral Decision Making Levels and Sportspersonship Behavior Levels of Coaches
Authors: Karakullukçu Ömür F. 
Published: February 2020

The aim of this study is to determine moral decision making attitudes of youth athletes and sportspersonship behavior levels of their coaches; and to test them in terms of certain variables. The study is in a descriptive research model; the sample group consists of 294 certified athletes playing in youth sports teams; the ages range between 11 and 17. As measurement, “Attitudes to Moral Decision-Making in Youth Sport Questionnaire-2 (AMDYSQ-2)” and “Sportspersonship Coaching Behaviors Scale (SCBS)” were used.
In order to test whether the data meet the prerequisite for multivariable tests, Skewness and Kurtosis values and Levene and Box M values were investigated. In the analysis of data, descriptive statistics methods, MANOVA, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation analysis were used. In order to determine the reliability of scales, their Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients were calculated.
MANOVA results show that AMDYSQ-2 has a significant impact on all independent variables whereas SCBS has a significant impact on “gender” and “branch involvement duration” variables. According to the correlation results, there is a positive and low-level significant correlation between “acceptance of cheating” and “keep winning in proportion” factors of SCBS and “setting expectations for good sportspersonship”, “teaching good sportspersonship”, “reinforcing sportspersonship”, “prioritizing winning over good sportspersonship” and “modeling good sportspersonship” factors of AMDYSQ-2.
As a result, it is concluded that for the athletes, “acceptance of cheating” factor of AMDYSQ-2 and “setting expectations for good sportspersonship” factor of SCBS are the most important factors.
La ética indolora. Las alternativas ecopacifistas
Authors: Pérez Garzón Juan Sisinio 
Published: February 2020

Se plantea la tesis de que el desarrollo de una ética ecopacifista puede considerarse una revolución histórica. La idea de revolución no tiene por qué ceñirse a la violencia y destrucción. En este artículo se rescatan las propuestas y formas de cambio social basadas en principios noviolentos y de armonía con la naturaleza. Se aporta una reflexión básica sobre el despliegue de una ética noviolenta y de una ética ecologista. Ambas, con la figura de Thoreau como punto de partida, y con el denominador común de haber subvertido los valores colectivos y los comportamientos individuales. Junto con el feminismo, han ampliado rotundamente el campo de los derechos y las metas justicia social.

Published: February 2020

Purpose
Several nephrometry scoring systems have been developed based on two-dimensional computerized tomography images to quantify anatomical features of renal tumors. We have developed an accurate three-dimensional nephrometry scoring system to respond to the urgent need for advanced systems based on three-dimensional images.

Materials and Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 135 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy in our institution. Stereoscopic models were reconstructed from preoperative computerized tomography images and three-dimensional scores were assigned directly on stereoscopic models. All tumors were analyzed for following features: tumor volume; endophytic tumor proportion; renal vascular variations; tumor’s relationships with urinary collecting system or renal sinus; longitudinal distance from tumor to equatorial plane. Correlation between three-dimensional score and warm ischemic time was calculated compared with existing classical nephrometry scoring systems. The value of nephrometry scoring systems predicting longer warm ischemic time was explored by receiver operating characteristic curves.

Results
Mean tumor volume was 31.25 ml; endophytic volume was less than 50% in 42 cases, more than 50% in 79 cases, and 100% in 14 cases; mean longitudinal distance from tumor to equatorial plane was 1.41 cm; 30 patients (22.2%) presented renal vascular variations; 18 cases (13.3%) involved both urinary collecting system and sinus. Mean three-dimensional score was 8.3. Variance analysis and covariance analysis revealed warm ischemic time a significant association with all evaluated tumor features. Furthermore, three-dimensional scores most highly correlated with warm ischemic time (rs = 0.64, p < 0.001), followed by R.E.N.A.L. scores (rs = 0.21, p = 0.012), centrality index (rs = − 0.20, p = 0.019) and Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for Anatomy score (rs = 0.20, p = 0.019). Area under curve of above nephrometry scoring systems was 0.91, 0.67, 0.68 and 0.67 respectively (p < 0.05).

Conclusions
The three-dimensional scoring system developed in this study was a highly-accurate system to quantify the anatomical features of renal tumors. It was identified to have a value in predicting duration of warm ischemic time.

Published: February 2020

Abstractn‐Doping electron‐transport layers (ETLs) increases their conductivity and improves electron injection into organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). Because of the low electron affinity and large bandgaps of ETLs used in green and blue OLEDs, n‐doping has been notoriously more difficult for these materials. In this work, n‐doping of the polymer poly[(9,9‐dioctylfluorene‐2,7‐diyl)‐alt‐(benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazol‐4,7‐diyl)] (F8BT) is demonstrated via solution processing, using the air‐stable n‐dopant (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(1,3,5‐trimethylbenzene)ruthenium dimer [RuCp*Mes]2. Undoped and doped F8BT films are characterized using ultraviolet and inverse photoelectron spectroscopy. The ionization energy and electron affinity of the undoped F8BT are found to be 5.8 and 2.8 eV, respectively. Upon doping F8BT with [RuCp*Mes]2, the Fermi level shifts to within 0.25 eV of the F8BT lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, which is indicative of n‐doping. Conductivity measurements reveal a four orders of magnitude increase in the conductivity upon doping and irradiation with ultraviolet light. The [RuCp*Mes]2‐doped F8BT films are incorporated as an ETL into phosphorescent green OLEDs, and the luminance is improved by three orders of magnitude when compared to identical devices with an undoped F8BT ETL.

Published: February 2020

BackgroundInverted papilloma (IP) is a benign epithelial tumor of the sinonasal cavity that is locally aggressive and has a propensity for recurrence. Tumors involving the anterior maxillary sinus can be challenging to reach endoscopically, and have historically been approached through a Caldwell‐Luc or canine fossa trephination. We present a case series of 22 patients with maxillary IPs originating from the anterior wall, which were successfully resected using a modified endoscopic Denker (MED) procedure. This technique enables access to the entire maxillary sinus without the need for a separate transseptal or sublabial incision.MethodsA retrospective chart review was performed on patients who underwent the MED approach for management of maxillary IPs involving the anterior wall from 2012 to 2018. The demographic data, clinical presentation, radiographic findings, pathology, and surgical outcomes were reviewed.ResultsTwenty‐two patients were identified, including 13 males and 9 females. Eighteen of the 22 patients had prior surgery and all had Krouse stage 3 disease. After a mean follow‐up of 24 (range, 4‐63) months, only 1 patient (4.5%) developed a recurrence, which was treated successfully with endoscopic resection. Complications included 1 patient with preoperative epiphora who required dacryocystorhinostomy, epistaxis in another, and 1 patient with transient upper lip numbness. No patients developed alar notching or pyriform aperture stenosis.ConclusionThe MED technique is highly effective for surgical resection of primary and recurrent maxillary IPs involving the anterior wall, providing complete access to the entire maxillary sinus. In many cases, the MED can obviate the need for an adjunctive sublabial or transseptal incision, while also providing excellent exposure for postoperative surveillance.
Speeding up the Generation of Entangled State between a Superconducting Qubit and Cavity Photons via Counterdiabatic Driving

Published: February 2020

AbstractOptimal generation of entangled states is of critical significance for robust quantum information processing. An effective scheme is presented for speeding up the generation of an entangled state between a superconducting qubit and microwave photons via counterdiabatic driving. At a magic bias point, the first three levels of a charge‐phase quantum circuit constitute an effective qutrit. An entangled state based on adiabatic population transfer is first achieved. By the technique of shortcuts to adiabaticity, a counterdiabatic driving is applied to the qutrit, which then accelerates the entanglement generation significantly. Moreover, with the accessible decoherence rates, the rapid operations in a shortcut way are highly robust when compared with adiabatic manipulations. The scheme could offer a promising approach toward optimal preparation of entangled states with superconducting artificial atoms in circuit quantum electrodynamics, experimentally.

Published: February 2020

AbstractEpoxy bisphenol acid isooctyl ester (EBAIE) was synthesized and characterized by FTIR and H‐NMR. EBAIE was used as poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plasticizer for the first time, and its addition amount was 30 wt% of PVC. The mechanical properties, thermal stability, compatibility, and decomposition activation energy of PVC blends were systematically studied. Compared to the commercial plasticizer‐dioctyl phthalate (DOP), the tensile strength had been significantly increased from 30.64 to 45.07 MPa, while the elongation at break had little difference. The thermal stability analysis showed that the static stability time at 180°C had been extended from 40 to 300 min. The decomposition activation energy indicated that the EBAIE plasticized PVC was with a higher thermal stability. The extraction and volatility resistance of the novel plasticizer were superior to those of DOP.

AbstractWe present the results of our second radial velocity (RV) monitoring campaign, carried out with the Échelle spectrograph FLECHAS at the University Observatory Jena in the course of the Großschwabhausen binary survey between December 2016 and June 2018. The aim of this project is to obtain precise RV measurements for spectroscopic binary stars in order to redetermine, verify, improve, and constrain their Keplerian orbital solutions. In this paper, we describe the observations, data reduction, and analysis and present the results of this project. In total, we have taken 721 RV measurements of 11 stars and derived well‐determined orbital solutions for nine systems (seven single‐ and two double‐lined spectroscopic binaries) with periods in the range between 2 and 70 days. In addition, we could rule out the orbital solutions for the previously classified spectroscopic binary systems HIP 107136 and HIP 107533, whose radial velocities are found to be constant on the km s−1‐level over a span of time of more than 500 days. In the case of HIP 2225, a significant change of its systematic velocity is detected between our individual observing epochs, indicating the presence of an additional companion, which is located on a wider orbit in this system.
Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Investigations of FeN4‐Based Macrocyclic Molecules Adsorbed on Au(111) and Their Implications in the Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Authors: Facchin Alessandro , Kosmala Tomasz , Gennaro Armando , Durante Christian 
Published: February 2020

AbstractElectrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC‐STM) has become a reference among in operando techniques for probing the surface at molecular and atomic levels, allowing the fundamental processes occurring at the microscopic scale to be understood while an electrochemical reaction is occurring. Metal‐porphyrins and metal‐phthalocyanines (MN4) are synthons in biological molecules and have been successfully employed in the homogeneous as well as heterogeneous catalysis of many reactions. Therefore, studying the behavior in situ at the solid/liquid interface of these molecules allows information on their electronic and topographic structures to be obtained. Herein, Fe(II)‐ and Fe(III)‐coordinated phthalocyanines were examined by using the EC‐STM technique. An Au(111) single crystal was used as substrate to be functionalized with Fe‐phthalocyanines. These molecules were characterized in their ability to catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction, which is of great interest, especially in fuel cell technology. The FeN4 molecules in the form of an adlayer represent the catalyst material, which is probed under potential control in 0.1 M HClO4 by EC‐STM, with the aim to obtain information about the O2 adsorption/reduction process.
