Published: October 2019

The article discusses the impact of the formation of a digital platform in the public administration system on the nature of the management tasks of strategic planning. The mainaspects of the assessment of changes in the spectrum and content of strategic planning tasks due to the digitalization of management technologies are formulated. The composition of the tasks of strategic planning is described taking into account the state of the current institutional base. The possibilities of using formalized methods for solving them within the framework of a digital platform for supporting public administration are identified.Purpose: the formation of the information society is associated with the development and implementation of a wide range of end-to-end digital technologies in various areas of public life and business. Modernization of information technology along with a general change in the conditions for the development of socio-economic systems determines the corresponding changes in methods and mechanisms of public administration. In this regard, the main goal of the work is to study aspects of the impact of digital transformation on the composition and characteristics of strategic planning tasks.Methods: the study was carried out based on a systematic approach to the study of socio-economic systems and processes using the methods of logical and comparative analysis, methods of statistical analysis of indicators of the functioning of the strategic planning system in the Russian Federation, providing the necessary depth of consideration of scientific problems.Results: the author presented an analysis of scientific and practical publications on the research topic, as well as the composition, functional and substantive capabilities of an automated information system for supporting strategic planning. The results of data processing of official statistical and management reporting in the field of development and implementation of strategic planning documents are presented. This made it possible to determine approaches to assessing the composition and characteristics of strategic planning tasks in the context of the formation of a digital public administration platform, to propose a compositional scheme for describing the relationship between the composition and content of planning tasks with a system of strategic planning documents.Conclusions and Relevance: the materials presented in the article make it possible to identify the current problems of implementing the strategic management methodology into the regulatory practice of public administration bodies, to substantiate the directions for improving the methodology and strategic planning tools, including through the correction of specifications and formalization of planning tasks in the context of the formation of a digital public administration platform.

Published: October 2019

Purpose: this study aimed to examine the factors affecting millennial consumers’ demand for halal labeled bakery products (sweet bread).Methods: this research used a quantitative approach to estimate the dominant factors affecting Muslims’ demand, based on multiple regression analysis using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method.Results: (1) The prices and income had a positive and significant effect on millennial consumers’ for halal-labeled bakery products. (2) The halal issue had a positive but insignificant effect on millennial consumers’ demand for halal-labeled bakery products. (3) millennial consumers’ demand for halal-labeled bakery products did not vary depending on taste and method of payment.Conclusions and Relevance: the price was a determinant factor in the demand for halal bakery products. So we recommend that millennial consumers should consider both bread price and quality and whether it is halal or not. The halal concern had actually a positive but insignificant effect, because millennial generation students are expected to pay more attention to the halal issue by considering halal labeling and composition of bakery products (sweet bread) and by having knowledge of halal products.

Published: October 2019

Este artigo é um capítulo resumido e extraído de nossa Enciclopédia das Línguas Arawak - acrescida de seis novas línguas e dois bancos de dados (no prelo). Trata do subgrupo Bolívia (mojeño, baure, pauna, tereno) da família arawak. Nenhum ramo da família arawak apresenta tanta coesão como o subgrupo Bolívia: seu léxico, sua gramática, com um inusitado suprafixo A “não-factual”, e duas complexas cadeias de mudanças vocálicas (*i > *i > *e > *a ; *a > *ʊ / *o > i / i / u) evidenciam uma unidade diagnóstica entre suas línguas. Fornecemos dados detalhados sobre a história e a destruição dialetal dessas quatro línguas (séculos XVI-XVIII), assim como um resumo de suas estruturas fonológicas e gramaticais, antes de propor uma reconstrução do proto-Bolívia e um supergrupo Bolívia-Purus-Kampa-Amuesha (bpka) dentro das línguas arawak. Este estudo termina com uma lista de mais de 500 jogos de cognatos para o subgrupo Bolívia. Desde Payne (1991), os estudos comparativos arawak do subgrupo Bolívia são extremamente caóticos e, de uma certa forma, regrediram. Além disso, uma análise abrangente do paikone, magíana e apolista nos leva a alguns materiais lexicais falsificados que obrigam a rever o estatuto dessas línguas.
Evaluation of grapevine trunk size by use of a handheld camera and three-dimensional modelling
Authors: Bou Nader Khalil , Pfahl Leonard Maximilian , Gomès Eric , Stoll Manfred 
Published: October 2019

Background and aims: Measurement of grapevine size is necessary to assess carbon reserves at the level of individual vines and to estimate the carbon sequestration potential of vineyards. Methods of measurement rely mostly on traditional dendrological techniques that may be prone to error. In this study, we examined the use of structure-from-motion with multiview stereophotogrammetry (SfM-MVS) to obtain accurate measurements of vine trunk thickness and volume. SfM-MVS enables the creation of scaled, georeferenced three-dimensional models based on a set of overlapping photographs.Methods and results: The study was conducted using field-grown Vitis vinifera L. cv. Riesling vines aged 5, 22 and 46 years and pruned in a bilateral Guyot. Trunk diameter, cross-sectional area and circumference 10 cm above the grafting point were measured by traditional dendrometry, and the values obtained compared with corresponding estimates from reconstructed three-dimensional SfM-MVS models. SfM-MVS was also used to estimate total trunk volume. Correlation between measured values and modelled estimates was close to unity (0.976 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.988). The estimates for 5-year-old vines had the largest errors.Conclusions: Under adequate lighting conditions and with sufficient image resolution, SfM-MVS is able to produce accurate models of vine trunks.Significance of the study: This work serves as proof of concept for the use of SfM-MVS to measure the trunk size of field-grown grapevines of different ages. This technique, which is relatively new, is cost-effective and easy to implement. Further research is necessary to determine specific applications of SfM-MVS, in which it could supplement or replace traditional dendrological techniques.

Asymmetric Bilateral Hip Dislocations with a Pulseless Left Lower Extremity
Authors: Hoffman Adam , Taylor Benjamin C. 
Published: October 2019

Case:
Traumatic bilateral asymmetric hip dislocation represents an exceedingly rare injury pattern in which one hip dislocates anteriorly and the contralateral hip dislocates posteriorly. Few reports of this injury pattern have been published in the English literature, and no report of this pattern with arterial occlusion has been described. We report a case of asymmetric hip dislocations presenting with a pulseless lower extremity after a motor vehicle accident. No arterial injury was identified on computed tomography angiogram. Fractures of the proximal femur and acetabulum were also absent, bilaterally.

Conclusions:
We present a patient who patient underwent successful closed reduction with return of pulses in the left leg and required no further intervention for his hip dislocations.
Naturally Occurring Asbestos: A Global Health Concern? State of the Art and Open Issues
Authors: Gualtieri Alessandro F. 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
Naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) is a global public health issue because minerals that may be classified as asbestos are a common constituent of certain types of rock and soil, found in many regions on every continent. Disturbance of these rocks and soils, especially through construction activities, can result in airborne particles, leading to inhalation and risk of disease from these known human carcinogens. The presence of NOA in the environment affects all the human activities aimed at its modification, and all engineering/geological actions in the natural environment should take it into account. In the presence of NOA, specific procedures for sampling, evaluation of environmental risk, and monitoring should be applied to minimize the risk of exposure for the workers and the general public. Unfortunately, detailed procedures have been lacking to date, and consensus is difficult to achieve because basic issues, such as the definition of asbestos itself, are still open and being debated by scientists and regulators. While the term “asbestos” has been used in older geological publications, it is not currently defined by geologists. For the past century, “asbestos” was a commercial term used to describe minerals mined for specific purposes, and the term then entered the legal lexicon for purposes of control and compensation. All these basic matters are critically illustrated in the article. Finding clear and universally accepted definitions is mandatory; otherwise, there will continue to be controversial positions that can cause regulatory and legal issues and the outcome of lawsuits to be very subjective.
A Longitudinal Analysis of Mental and General Health Status of Informal Carers in Australia
Authors: Mohanty Itismita , Niyonsenga Theo 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: The study investigated the self-assessed mental and general health status of informal carers in Australia. It evaluated the influence of carer’s health behaviours, namely: physical activity, smoking and drinking status; along with their social connectedness and workforce engagement on their health status.
Methods: The study used a retrospective longitudinal design using data from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia survey, waves 5-15 (2005-2015). It included individuals aged 15 years and older from Australian households surveyed over a period of 11 years. The sample consisted of 23,251 individuals. The outcome measures included: Mental health, general health and physical functioning, domains of the Short Form 36 Questionnaire , a widely used multi-dimensional measure of health-related quality of life. Using fixed effects regression and following individuals over time, the analysis took care of the issue of individuals self-selecting themselves as carers due to some predisposing factors such as age, poor health, socioeconomic status and sedentary behaviour.
Results: There were statistically significant carer-noncarer status differences in mental (Beta = -0.587, p=0.003) and general health (Beta = -0.670, p=0.001) outcomes. Aging had a modifying impact on carers’ mental and general health outcomes. Older carers coped better with their caregiving responsibilities than younger ones. Moreover, while physical activities had a positive influence on both mental and general health for non-carers, with more activities generating better health outcomes, it only had a modifying impact on carers’ mental health. Furthermore, the study found that moderate levels of social drinking had beneficial modifying impact on carers’ mental and general health.
Conclusion: This study added value to the literature on informal carers’ mental and general health in Australia by identifying some of the protective and risk factors. The study found the modifying effects of carers’ age, health behaviours such as physical activity, smoking and drinking status on their health. Finally, the study identified an apparent beneficial link between moderate levels of social drinking and carer health that needs to be further explored with more targeted future research.

Abstract
Background Hearing loss (HL) represents the most common congenital sensory impairment with an incidence of 1-5 per 1000 live births. Non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is an isolated finding that is not part of any other disorder accounting for 70% of all genetic hearing loss cases. Methods In the current study, we report a multifactorial genetic mode of inheritance in a NSHL consanguineous family using exome sequencing technology. We evaluated the possible effects of the single nucleotide variants (SNVs) detected in our patients using in silico methods. Results Two bi-allelic SNVs were detected in the affected patients; a MYO15A (. p.V485A) variant, and a novel MITF (p.P338L) variant. Along with these homozygous mutations, we detected two heterozygous variants in well described hearing loss genes (MYO7A and MYH14). The novel p. Pro338Leu missense mutation on the MITF protein was predicted to change the protein structure and function. Conclusion The novel MITF variant is the first bi-allelic SNV in this gene to be associated with an autosomal recessive non-syndromic HL case with a post-lingual onset. Our findings highlight the importance of whole exome sequencing for a comprehensive assessment of the genetic heterogeneity of HL.

Abstract
Background: The co-occurrence of two or more chronic medical conditions in an individual is defined as multimorbidity. Lifestyle factors, including poor dietary patterns, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption are key modifiable risk factors that play a role in the development of chronic medical conditions and potentially multimorbidity. The current study aimed to examine the levels of physical activity among those with multimorbidity and its association with socio-demographic factors, clinical parameters, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among community-dwelling adults attending a primary care clinic in Singapore.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with multimorbidity between August 2014 and June 2016. Physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) was measured using the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D-3L). Data on clinical parameters like hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and blood pressure were collected from patient records. Multivariable logistic regression analysis and linear regression were performed to determine the association between IPAQ and clinical health outcomes, as well as HRQoL measures, respectively.
Results: In all, 932 respondents with multimorbidity were recruited for the study. Of them, 500 (53.8%) had low physical activity, 325 (35.0%) had moderate physical activity, while 104 (11.2%) had high physical activity. Respondents who were insufficiently active had significantly higher odds of being overweight/ obese (OR: 1.5, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1- 1.9, p = 0.01) as compared to those were sufficient physical active. The multiple linear regression model revealed that insufficient activity level was negatively associated with EQ-5D index scores (β = -0.05, p < 0.001) and the visual acuity scale measuring HRQoL as compared to sufficient activity levels in respondents with multimorbidity.
Conclusions: The low levels of physical activity among patients with multimorbidity, and its association with overweight status and poorer HRQoL emphasizes the importance of increasing physical activity in this population. Family physicians treating patients with chronic diseases need to continue encouraging and helping individuals to initiate and maintain appropriate physical activity levels.
Evaluation of an online knowledge translation intervention to promote cancer risk reduction behaviours: findings from a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Neil-Sztramko Sarah , Belita Emily , Levinson Anthony , Boyko Jennifer , Dobbins Maureen 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: Many cancers are preventable through lifestyle modification; however, few adults engage in behaviours that are in line with cancer prevention guidelines. This may be partly due to the mixed messages on effective cancer prevention strategies in popular media. The goal of the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal (the Portal) is to increase access to trustworthy health information. The purpose of this study was to explore if and how knowledge translation strategies to disseminate cancer prevention evidence using the Portal influence participants’ knowledge, intentions and health behaviors related to cancer risk. Methods: Adults ≥40 years old, with no cancer history were randomized to a 12-week intervention (weekly emails and social media posts) or control group. Quantitative data on knowledge, intentions and behaviors (physical activity, diet, alcohol consumption and use of tobacco products) were collected at baseline, end of study and three months later. Participant engagement was assessed using Google Analytics, and participant satisfaction through open-ended survey questions and semi-structured interviews. Results: Participants (n = 557, mean age 64.9) were predominantly retired (72%) females (81%). Knowledge of cancer prevention guidelines was higher in the intervention group at end of study only (+0.3, p = 0.01). Intentions to follow cancer prevention guidelines increased in both groups, with no between-group differences. Intervention participants reported greater light-intensity physical activity at end of study (+0.7 vs. 0.1, p = 0.03), and reduced alcohol intake at follow u (-0.2 vs. + 0.3, p < 0.05), but no other between-group differences were found. Overall satisfaction with the Portal and intervention materials was high. Conclusions: Dissemination of evidence-based cancer prevention information through the Portal results in small increases in knowledge of risk-reduction strategies and with little to no impact on self-reported health behaviours, except in particular groups. Further tailoring of knowledge translation strategies may be needed to see more meaningful change in knowledge and health behaviours.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: Pugionium cornutum is a xerophytic plant that primarily adapts to salt stress by accumulating inorganic ions (e.g., Cl - ) for osmoregulation, improving its reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging ability and maintaining high photosynthetic carbon assimilation efficiency, but the associated molecular mechanisms still remain unclear.
Results : Here, we present an analysis of gene responses to salt stress based on the transcriptome of P. cornutum exposed to 50 mM NaCl treatment. The data revealed that, after NaCl treatment for 6 or 24 h, the transcript levels of multiple genes encoding proteins facilitating Cl - accumulation and NO 3 - homeostasis such as SLAH1, CLCg, CCC1, and NPF6.4, as well as the transport of other major inorganic osmoticums were significantly upregulated in roots and shoots, which should be favorable to enhancing osmotic adjustment capacity and maintaining the plant uptake and transport of nutrient elements; a large number of genes related to ROS-scavenging pathways were also significantly upregulated, which should be beneficial for mitigating salt-induced oxidative damage to the cell metabolism. Meanwhile, many genes encoding components of the photosynthetic electron transport and carbon fixation enzymes were significantly upregulated in shoots after salt treatment, possibly resulting in a high carbon assimilation efficiency in P. cornutum . Additionally, numerous salt-inducible transcription factor genes probably regulating the abovementioned processes were found.
Conclusion : Candidate genes involved in salt tolerance of P. cornutum were identified, which lays a preliminary foundation for clarifying the molecular mechanism of the xerophytes adapting to harsh environments.
