Diagnostic value of mean platelet volume in neonatal sepsis
Authors: Pamudji Kristopher May , Kardana I Made 
Published: January 2020

Background Neonatal sepsis is a severe disease with potentially serious impacts if not treated early. However, the symptoms and clinical signs are not specific. Several studies have been conducted to find early infection markers for detection of neonatal sepsis, but without satisfactory results. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a new marker of infection that has good potential for diagnosing neonatal sepsis.
Objective To assess the diagnostic value of MPV in early detection of neonatal sepsis.
Methods This retrospective study with diagnostic testing was done with data collected from medical records of neonates with neonatal sepsis who were admitted to the Neonatology Department in Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar from December 2018 to March 2019. Mean platelet volume cut-off point was determined using a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of MPV in neonatal sepsis were determined using a 2x2 table.
Results Of 82 subjects, 55 subjects were male (67%). Positive blood culture results were found in 25 subjects (30%). Mean platelet volume with a cut-off point of 7.44 fL had 80% sensitivity, 84.2% specificity, 69% PPV, and 90.6% NPV.
Conclusion Mean platelet volume with a cut-off point of 7.44 fL can be used to diagnose neonatal sepsis with a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 84.2%.

Authors: Ranakusuma Respati Wulansari , McCullough Amanda R. , Beller Elaine M. , Del Mar Christopher B. , Safitri Eka Dian , Pitoyo Yupitri , Widyaningsih Widyaningsih 
Published: January 2020

Background Acute otitis media (AOM) is a common self-limiting infection where antibiotics confer limited benefit. Other treatments, such as anti-inflammatory agents have been proposed as an alternative to antibiotics, but no high-quality clinical trials have tested this.
Objective To identify current AOM management practices among Indonesian clinicians. We also required this information for our proposed corticosteroids clinical trial for AOM.
Methods This cross-sectional study surveyed a convenience sample of general practitioners (GPs), pediatricians, and Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) specialists in Jakarta, Depok, and Bekasi. We addressed their current AOM management practices and willingness to participate in a future trial on corticosteroids.
Results We distributed 2,694 questionnaires through conferences, primary care/hospital visits, and by mail-list group. Of 492 questionnaires received (response rate 18%), 352 were from eligible clinicians. Most clinicians diagnosed AOM by using an otoscope (64-91%). Tympanometry was used by a quarter of ENT specialists. Amoxicillin-clavulanate was the most common antibiotic for AOM, prescribed by pediatricians and ENT specialists, whilst most GPs prescribed amoxicillin. Clinical scenarios indicated most ENT specialists (88%) would prescribe antibiotics and most pediatricians (54%) would choose expectant observation by withholding antibiotics for mild AOM. Almost half of clinicians would consider using corticosteroids in a trial.
Conclusion Most clinicians would prescribe antibiotics for mild AOM. However, slightly over half of pediatricians would solely choose expectant observation. Adequate numbers of potential participating clinicians, who would consider using corticosteroids, make our proposed corticosteroids trial for AOM feasible. We found gaps between clinical practice and evidence requiring further investigation to improve AOM management in Indonesia.
Severe sepsis criteria, PELOD-2, and pSOFA as predictors of mortality in critically ill children with sepsis
Authors: Wulandari Anindita , Pudjiastuti Pudjiastuti , Martuti Sri 
Published: January 2020

Background Sepsis is one of the main causes of death in infants and children. Currently, it is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction, caused by an inflammatory response of infection. Several organ dysfunction assessment methods are available, but they are not uniformly used.
Objective To compare the accuracy of three mortality predictor tools: severe sepsis criteria, pediatric logistic organ dysfunction (PELOD)-2, and pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA), in critically ill children with sepsis.
Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and pediatric high care unit (HCU) of dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, Central of Java. All patients who met the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria were included in our study. The exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies of heart or kidney, malignancy, or hematological abnormalities. The data were taken from laboratory and physical examinations by the physicians on duty. The outcome assessed was mortality.
Results Of 30 subjects, the mean age was 22.22 (SD 29.36) months; the most common infection source was the respiratory tract, followed by gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Most subjects were treated in the PICU and had a mean length of stay of 8.70 (SD 11.91) days. Severe sepsis and PELOD-2 were not significant predictors of death. However, pSOFA score was a statistically significant predictor of mortality, with odds ratio 10.11 (95%CI 1.054 to 97.002; P=0.039).
Conclusion Pediatric SOFA (pSOFA) is a better predictor of mortality compared to PELOD-2 and SIRS-severe sepsis. A pSOFA score ≥ 2 increases the risk of mortality by 10.11-fold.
Heated, humidified high-flow nasal cannula vs. nasal CPAP in infants with moderate respiratory distress
Authors: Perma Iskandar Adhi Teguh , Kaban Risma Kerina , Djer Mulyadi M 
Published: January 2020

Background Respiratory distress is the most common cause of morbidity in premature babies in the delivery room. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is widely used as the preferred modality of treatment, although it may cause nasal trauma. Heated, humidified high-flow nasal (HHHFN) cannula is an alternative oxygen therapy, yet the safety and efficacy has not been widely studied.
Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of HHHFN and nCPAP in premature babies with gestational age > 28 to < 35 weeks and moderate respiratory distress.
Methods We conducted a randomized, non-inferiority, clinical trial using HHHFN vs. nCPAP as a treatment for moderate respiratory distress within 72 hours after they had been used. The efficacy endpoints were treatment failure, length of device use, length of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), and full enteral feeding time. Safety assessment included pain score, nasal trauma, and systemic complications.
Results No differences were found in terms of incidence of endotracheal intubation within < 72 hours of HHHFN (20%) compared to nCPAP (18%) (P=0.799). However, there was a significant difference in moderate nasal trauma in nCPAP (14%) compared to HHHFN (0%)(P=0.006). There were no significant differences of blood gas analysis results, full enteral feeding time, length of KMC, length of device use, and rate of complications (bronchopulmonary dysplasia/BPD, intraventricular hemorrhage/IVH, patent ductus arteriosus/PDA, necrotizing enterocolitis/NEC and late onset neonatal sepsis/LONS) between the nCPAP and HHHFN groups.
Conclusion The HHHFN is not inferior to nCPAP in terms of the safety and efficacy as primary non-invasive therapy in premature babies of gestational age > 28 to < 35 weeks with moderate respiratory distress . Compared to nCPAP, HHHFN induced lower nasal trauma.

The Curious Memory of Slavery in New Jersey, 1865-1941
Authors: Gigantino II James J. 
Published: January 2020

This article examines the historiographic memory of slavery in New Jersey through various local and state historical publications from the end of slavery in the state (1865) to the beginning of World War II. It argues that in contrast to the prevailing historiographic contention that slavery’s northern past had been hidden until late in the twentieth century, New Jerseyans carried on a vibrant and mostly accurate study of slavery in the state at this time.
A computational intelligence based approach for optimized operation scheduling of energy plants
Authors: Mast Johannes , Rädle Stefan , Gerlach Joachim , Bringmann Oliver 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
This paper describes a methodology for optimizing the operation schedule of energy plants, which is exemplarily applied for a combined heat and power plant and a heat pump. The methodology is based on the computational intelligence algorithms Ant Colony Optimization and Simulated Annealing and allows a customized description of the optimization objective. This is demonstrated by several optimization objectives that have been considered, such as the price on the electricity market. The methodology replaces a conventional, guided operating mode of the system with an intelligent, prognostic-based operation planning. In this way, the systems can be operated more economically and/or more sustainably.
Phase-space exploration of unit ensembles in energy management
Authors: Bremer Jörg , Lehnhoff Sebastian 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Currently, a transition of the electrical power system occurs that results in replacing large-scale thermal power plants at transmission grid level by small generation units mainly installed in the distribution grid. A shift from the transmission to the distribution grid level and an increase in ancillary service demand is a direct result of this transition, demanding delegation of liabilities to distributed, small energy resources. Decoder-based methods currently are not able to cope with ensembles of individually acting energy resources. Aggregating flexibilities results in folded distributions with unfavorable properties for machine learning decoders. Nevertheless, a combined training set is needed to integrate e. g., a hotel, a small business, or similar with an ensemble of co-generation, heat pump, solar power, or controllable consumers to a single flexibility model. Thus, we improved the training process and use evolution strategies for sampling ensembles.
Using MAP-Elites to support policy making around Workforce Scheduling and Routing
Authors: Urquhart Neil , Hart Emma , Hutcheson William 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Algorithms such as MAP-Elites provide a means of allowing users to explore a solution space by returning an archive of high-performing solutions. Such an archive, can allow the user an overview of the solution space which may be useful when formulating policy around the problem itself. The number of solutions that can potentially be returned by MAP-Elites is controlled by a parameter d that discretises the user-defined features into ‘bins’. For a fixed evaluation budget, increasing the number of bins increases user-choice, but at the same time, may lead to a reduction in overall quality of solutions. We undertake a study of the application of Map-Elites to a Workforce Scheduling and Routing problem, using a set of realistic instances based in London.
Macroalgal diversity for sustainable biotechnological development in French tropical overseas territories
Authors: Stiger-Pouvreau Valérie , Zubia Mayalen 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis review focuses on the diversity of French tropical overseas macroalgae and their biotechnological applications. After listing the specific diversity, i.e. 641 species in French Antilles in the Atlantic Ocean, 560 species in the Indian Ocean, and 1015 species in the South Pacific Ocean, we present the potential of their metabolites and their main uses. Among the great diversity of metabolites, we focus on carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, pigments and secondary metabolites, in particular terpenes and phenolic compounds. The main applications of reef macroalgae are described in human and animal consumptions, phycocolloids extraction, production of active ingredients for health, cosmetics, agriculture, and bioremediation. For each application, we list what has been done, or will be done in French tropical overseas territories and point out the challenges faced when using this chemo-diversity, and problems linked to their exploitation. Finally, we discuss challenges to develop seaweed farming, their uses in carbon sequestration and resilience to global change, their uses for alternative proteins together with the production of bioenergy and biomaterials. As a conclusion, we encourage the research on the chemo-diversity of French reef macroalgae for industrial applications as these organisms represent a reservoir of active ingredients that is still insufficiently explored.
Including multiple languages in secondary education: A translanguaging approach
Authors: Günther-van der Meij Mirjam , Duarte Joana , Nap Laura 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis article presents recent developments around multilingual secondary education in the officially bilingual province of Friesland, the Netherlands. As in other European contexts, schools in this region face the challenge of a growing language diversity due to migration. Despite this larger variety of languages in society, schooling is still mainly through the national language (Kroon & Spotti, 2011), based on the idea that immersion in each of the target languages triggers the best outcomes, thus leading to language separation pedagogies. Also, in teacher training programmes, pre-service teachers are educated with a pedagogy of language separation. This is in contrast with research that has repeatedly shown the importance of using all language resources of multilingual pupils in optimizing learning (Cenoz & Gorter, 2011; Cummins, 2008).Against this backdrop, recent developments for multilingual secondary education within the province of Friesland focus on a.	less separation between the three instruction languages (Frisian, Dutch and English); b.	creating bridges between foreign languages in secondary education (German and French); c.	valorising and including migrant languages in mainstream education. The Holi-Frysk project (holistic approach for Frisian and language education) was set up as an answer to these issues (Authors, forthcoming). In this pilot-project three secondary schools of different types developed, implemented and evaluated multilingual teaching approaches to include all languages present in the school in teaching. Teachers were trained through workshops and school visits and the activities were video recorded, transcribed and analysed on their translanguaging practices.The article will first of all present and discuss a few examples of the pedagogical activities and secondly zoom in on its effects at the interactional level by focusing on moments in which different functions of pedagogical translanguaging (García & Wei, 2015) appear. Finally, suggestions are given how these findings could be integrated in the teacher training programmes to prepare our pre-service teachers for today’s multilingual and multicultural classrooms.
Construction of difference and homogeneity: Teacher narratives about diversity in the Luxembourgish school system
Authors: Wagner Jean-Marc , Hu Adelheid 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe school environment of the 21st century is shaped by rapidly changing social and societal conditions that teachers need to adapt to, increasing linguistic, cultural and ethnic diversity among other things. The development of attitudes to cope with these constant societal transformations is one of the main challenges of teacher professionalization today. In this chapter, we concentrate on the self-positioning and argumentation patterns of two Luxembourgish primary school teachers. We focus on the question how these teachers construct differences and homogeneity, what kind of categories and norms they rely on (e.g. performance, sociocultural background, and language) and in how far mechanisms of in- and exclusion become visible.With its trilingual tradition and school system (mainly Luxembourgish, French and German), and at the same time a highly diverse society with more than 170 nationalities, Luxembourg represents a particularly interesting case. As the recent PISA studies have repeatedly shown, the Luxembourgish school system (including its traditional trilingualism and strong orientation on language education) produces a high degree of inequality, and represents an important challenge especially for children of migration.With our study, which is based on in-depth interviews and which adopts an analytical approach combining elements of content and discourse analysis, we found a tendency towards a backward oriented idealized orientation of the past and a high degree of insecurity. We also show which ambivalences the teachers are confronted with and their efforts to deal with these ambivalences.We hope to contribute to a deeper understanding of how teachers position themselves vis a vis the existing diversity in schools, and which discourse and argumentation patterns they rely on. We see this study as part of research on teacher professionalization that will be useful for reflexive pre- and in-service teacher training.

Published: January 2020

Abstract

Background
A dimension of reproductive health services that should be gender sensitive is reproductive health services for adolescents.

Objective
This study aims to assess needs for gender sensitive reproductive health care services for adolescents.

Methods
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study on 341 of health care providers for adolescents in health centers and hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Iran in 2016. The subjects of the study were recruited using a convenience sampling method. The tools for data collection were: (1) a demographic information questionnaire and; (2) a valid and reliable questionnaire to Assess the Needs of Gender-Sensitive Adolescents Reproductive Health Care Services (ANQ-GSARHS) including three sections; process, structure and policy making for the services. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.

Results
Three hundred and forty-one health providers with an average working experience of 8.77 ± 5.39 [mean ± standard deviation (SD)] years participated in the study. The results demonstrated the highest scores for educational needs (92.96% ± 11.49%), supportive policies (92.71% ± 11.70%) and then care needs (92.37% ± 14.34%) of the services.

Conclusions
Providing gender sensitive reproductive health care services for adolescents needs to be reformed as regards processes, structure and policies of the services. However, the gender appropriate educational and care needs as well as supportive policies are the priorities for reform of the services.
The Influence of Osmotic Dehydration Conditions on Drying Kinetics and Total Carotenoid Content of Kiwiberry (Actinidia Arguta)
Authors: Bialik Michał , Wiktor Artur , Witrowa-Rajchert Dorota , Gondek Ewa 
Published: January 2020

AbstractKiwiberries (Actinidia arguta var. Geneva) were osmotically dehydrated in sucrose, xylitol and maltitol 60 % water solutions at 30 and 50 °C. After pre-treatment, the samples were dried using convective method at 70 °C until fruits have reached a dimensionless moisture ratio (MR) of 0.02. Osmotic pre-treatment significantly improved drying kinetics during the first stage of the process. All the pre-treated samples reached water activity level (aw) less than 0.6 after 7 h of drying. When maltitol or xylitol was used as an osmotic agent at 30 °C, the time required for drying was reduced by 23 and 32 %, respectively. In turn, dehydration performed at 50 °C had no positive effect on the drying kinetics. The shortest drying time was obtained for the samples dehydrated in xylitol at 30 °C. In the case of these samples target MR was reached after 542 min whereas in the case of untreated samples drying lasted 810 min. The highest retention of carotenoid was observed for the samples osmotically pre-treated in maltitol solution at 30 °C and sucrose solution at 50 °C.
