Published: September 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Comunicación Familiar (FCS) en una muestra de 491 estudiantes de una universidad privada en Lima Metropolitana, cuyas edades oscilan entre 16 y 28 años (M = 20.31, DE = 3.08). La muestra se dividió en dos grupos proporcionales. En el primero se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio, χ² (45) = 966.8, p < .001, n = 246, para comparar los índices de bondad de ajuste en modelos de uno, dos y tres factores y encontrar un mejor ajuste en una solución unifactorial GFI = .99, RMCR = .06. Posteriormente, en el segundo grupo, se llevó a cabo el análisis factorial confirmatorio al comparar soluciones de uno, dos y tres factores. Se evidenció un mejor ajuste en un modelo de una dimensión χ² = 80.31; χ²/gl = 2.36; CFI = 1.00; GFI = .995; AGFI = .992; RMSEA = .000; RMR = .050 (n = 245). Se analizaron los errores del modelo y la invarianza por sexo y, finalmente, se estableció la confiabilidad con diferentes estimadores del alfa. Se obtuvo un alto nivel de consistencia interna. Se concluye que la FCS presenta adecuadas propiedades psicométricas, que apoyan su uso como instrumento de evaluación de la comunicación familiar en universitarios. Abstract:The aim of this paper is to analyze the psychometric properties of the Family Communication Scale (FCS) in a sample of 491 students at a private university in Lima, Peru, aged between 16 and 28 years (χ. = 20.31, SD = 3.08). The sample was divided into two proportional groups. In the first, an exploratory factor analysis was made: χ. (45) = 966.8, p < .000, n = 246; extracting one dimension by the parallel analysis method, GFI = .99, RMCR = .06. Later, in the second group, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted: χ. = 80.31; χ./d.f. = 2.36; CFI = 1.00; GFI = .995; AGFI = .992; RMSEA = .000; RMR = .050 (n = 245), suitably adjusted to a single dimension. Model errors and gender invariance were analyzed and finally a reliability alpha was established with different estimators, obtaining a high level of internal consistency. We conclude that the FCS presents adequate psychometric properties that support its use as an assessment tool for family communication in college.

OBJECTIVE
The incidence of type 1 diabetes has been rising for decades, particularly among young children. Between 2006 and 2011, the incidence rate (IR) reached a plateau in Finland. In this observational, register-based cohort study, we assess recent trends in the disease rate in Finnish children.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Based on data from the Finnish Pediatric Diabetes Register, we studied the incidence of type 1 diabetes among children younger than 15 years of age between 2003 and 2018. We assessed sex-specific IRs per 100,000 person-years (PY) by 4-year time periods in three age-groups (0.50–4.99, 5.00–9.99, and 10.00–14.99 years).

RESULTS
Among the 7,871 children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, the median age at diagnosis increased from 7.88 to 8.33 years (P = 0.001), while the overall IR decreased from 57.9/100,000 PY in 2003–2006 to 52.2/100,000 PY in 2015–2018, yielding an IR ratio (IRR) of 0.90 (95% CI 0.85–0.96, P = 0.001). This decline was mainly due to the decrease in the youngest age-group (IRR 0.77 [95% CI 0.68–0.87]; P &lt; 0.001), being significant both among boys and girls. In the middle age-group, a significant decrease was observed only among girls. No changes were observed in the oldest children.

CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of type 1 diabetes decreased among young Finnish children between 2003 and 2018. Current findings imply that environmental factors driving the immune system toward islet autoimmunity are changing in young children.

OBJECTIVEStatins may reduce the risk of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) as a result of lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory effects, but statins have also been associated with neurotoxicity. We examined whether statin therapy affects the risk of DPN.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSWe identified all Danish patients with incident type 2 diabetes during 2002–2016. New users initiated statins between 180 days before and 180 days after their first diabetes record, while prevalent users had initiated statins before that period. Patients were followed for incident DPN using validated hospital diagnosis codes, starting 180 days after their first diabetes record. Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to compute adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) for DPN.RESULTSThe study cohort comprised 59,255 (23%) new users, 75,528 (29%) prevalent users, and 124,842 (48%) nonusers; median follow-up time was 6.2 years (interquartile range 3.4–9.6). The incidence rate of DPN events per 1,000 person-years was similar in new users (4.0 [95% CI 3.8–4.2]), prevalent users (3.8 [3.6–3.9]), and nonusers (3.8 [3.7–4.0]). The aHR for DPN was 1.05 (0.98–1.11) in new users and 0.97 (0.91–1.04) in prevalent users compared with statin nonusers. New users had a slightly increased DPN risk during the first year (1.31 [1.12–1.53]), which vanished after &gt;2 years of follow-up. Findings were similar in on-treatment and propensity score–matched analyses and with additional adjustment for pretreatment blood lipid levels.CONCLUSIONSStatin therapy is unlikely to increase or mitigate DPN risk in patients with type 2 diabetes, although a small acute risk of harm cannot be excluded.

Published: September 2020

OBJECTIVE
To assess the association between daily carbohydrate (CHO) intake and glycemic control in adult hybrid closed-loop (HCL) users with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Mean individual daily CHO intake (MIDC) and relative deviation from MIDC (≤80% low, 81–120% medium, &gt;120% high CHO consumption) were compared with parameters of glycemic control assessed by continuous glucose monitoring.

RESULTS
Records from 36 patients (26 male, 10 female; age 36.9 ± 13.5 years; HbA1c 7.1 ± 0.9% [54 ± 10 mmol/mol]) provided 810 days of data (22.5 ± 6.7 days per patient). Time in range (70–180 mg/dL) for low, medium, and high CHO consumption was 77.4 ± 15.4%, 75.2 ± 16.7%, and 70.4 ± 17.8%, respectively (P &lt; 0.001). Time above range (&gt;180 mg/dL) was 20.1 ± 14.7%, 22.0 ± 16.9%, and 27.2 ± 18.4%, respectively (P &lt; 0.001). There was no between-group difference for time in hypoglycemia (&lt;70 mg/dL; P = 0.50).

CONCLUSIONS
Daily CHO intake was inversely associated with glycemic control in adults with T1D using an HCL system. Lower CHO intake may be a strategy to optimize glucose control in HCL users.

La alexitimia se define como la dificultad de identificar, analizar y expresar las experiencias emocionales. Se ha reportado que las personas con alexitimia presentan dificultades a nivel social y en la percepción de distintos estímulos emocionales, sin embargo los resultados no han sido consistentes.
Objetivos: identificar el efecto de palabras socio-emocionales (insultos, elogios y neutros) en la percepción de personas con alto y bajo nivel de alexitimia por medio de un Stroop emocional.
Método: Participaron 44 estudiantes de nivel licenciatura y se conformaron dos grupos con base en la escala TAS-20, un grupo con alto puntaje GA (>61) y otro con bajo puntaje de alexitimia GB (<28). Se evaluó la percepción de estímulos socio-emocionales por medio del Stroop emocional, presentados en bloques por categoría. Además, se registraron los puntajes clínicos de depresión, ansiedad y fobia social.
Resultados: Se observó que el GA tuvo mayores tiempos de reacción ante las palabras socio-emocionales en comparación con el GB. Se presentó también un mayor puntaje en las escalas clínicas en el GA que el GB.
Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren un sesgo atencional en personas con alexitimia ante palabras socio-emocionales. Asimismo, la puntuación obtenida de las escalas se mostró a favor de la relación entre la alexitimia y los síntomas clínicos.

Penyebab Berkurangnya Anggota Koperasi: Studi Kasus Koperasi Perkebunan Sawit Perintis
Authors: Musthafa Danuar 
Published: September 2020

The Koperasi Perkenuban Kelapa Sawit Perintis (KPS Perintis) is a forum for oil palm farmers to improve the quality of their crops. Joining a cooperative should make farmers feel comfortable and get various benefits. Besides that, oil palm farmer cooperatives have a very important role and function as a medium of cooperation, teaching and learning, and increasing the yield of plantation production. However, in recent years, the number of the Perintis KPS members has decreased significantly. By using the Peter M. Blau Social Exchange Theory, this study aims to find the causes of farmers leaving the Peritis Cooperative membership by tracing the experiences of members when they are in groups resulting in social conditions that lead to the departure of members of the Perintis KPS. The method used is a qualitative method with in-depth interviews with research informants who are taken purposively. The results showed that there were five factors that led to the membership withdrawal of KPS Perintis members: First, the imbalance between sanctions and reward received by members. Second, the decline in the quality of Pioneer PPS. Third, the fear of members not being able to pay off bank loans for replanting. Fourth, internal family conflict. Fifth is avoidance of internal family members conflict.
Structural compressibility in 3d printed abrasion protection structures
Authors: Zedler Sarah Lysann 
Published: September 2020

Abrasion protection in exposed areas is a common method of extending the life cycle of textile products. To achieve sufficient abrasion resistance, the textile products are usually coated or partially printed with hard products. But hard materials lead to stiffening and can have a negative effect on the haptics.
The aim of this study is the application of abrasion-resistant and compressible print patterns directly to textile substrates by 3D printing. The compressibility is achieved by the inner structure, which, in contrast to conventional coatings, is not 100 % filled. In the investigations, four thermoplastic materials were tested for their abrasion resistance and compressible properties. Fabrics made of cotton or polyester/cotton blends were used as textile substrates. Different approaches were taken to create the structures, some of which can only be realized using 3D printing technology.
The abrasion resistance of the substrates could be increased from 50 abrasion cycles to over 8,000 cycles with the help of the 3D printed patterns. It was possible to print 3D structures that could be compressed in thickness by up to 53 %. The combination of both properties, abrasion resistance and compressibility, can be used for new types of individual products with good wearing comfort and functionality that meet the requirements, especially in the areas of functional, protective and sports clothing.
Does CEO founder status protect against dismissal?
Authors: Bohdanowicz Leszek 
Published: September 2020

Background: The article adds to the limited literature on CEO turnover in emerging market coun­tries and extends the existing research to a different institutional setting with a particular focus on listed companies in an increasingly important Polish business environment. It deals with the problem of CEO turnover in Polish listed companies.
Research purpose: Its main purpose is to scrutinize the impact of company performance and managerial ownership on CEO turnover. It focuses on finding the differences in the CEO turnover antecedences of founder CEO and professional CEO dismissal.
Methods: These relationships were tested using logistic regression. The sample consists of Pol­ish public companies listed on the Main Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, encompassing 11 years from 2008 to 2018. The final sample embraces an unbalanced panel sample of 489 com­panies and 3,763 company-year observations.
Conclusions: The analysis throughout the sample showed that the relationship between firm per­formance and CEO turnover is negative. Thus, deterioration of firm performance increases the frequency of changes in CEO. However, after conducting an in-depth study, it was found that this relationship is statistically significant only when professional managers manage the companies. The relationship between managerial ownership and turnover was also significant and negative in the whole sample. Still, there were also differences between changes in the CEO position, depend­ing on whether it was the company’s founder or a professional manager. In the case of founder CEOs, this relationship was even significant and positive, as opposed to professional managers. This was the same as in the whole sample.
Decomposition of unemployment rates in Poland according to voivodeships in the years 2013–2018
Authors: Kucharski Leszek 
Published: September 2020

Background: Unemployment is a phenomenon that occurs in all market economies, although with different intensity. Its rate is influenced by many factors related to labour demand and labour supply, as well as by structural mismatches between the two sides of the labour market, its effec­tiveness, the type of macroeconomic policy, and the labour market institutions.
Research purpose: The aim of the research is to determine the influence of labour supply and la­bour demand factors on changes in unemployment rates in Polish voivodeships from 2013 to 2018.
Methods: The unemployment rates for Poland and its voivodeships are decomposed using the aggregate data on unemployment rates, employment rates, and economic activity rates published by the GUS and the formula proposed by Elsby, Hobijn, and Sahin (2010).
Conclusions: The research results point to rising employment rates as the key factor driving the fall of unemployment rates between 2013 and 2018 in most Polish voivodeships. The exceptions are the Lubelskie and Świętokrzyskie voivodeships, where unemployment rate decreases were mainly caused by outflows from employment to inactivity. The downward trends in unemploy­ment rates in Poland and some of its voivodeships in the years 2015–2018 were facilitated by processes taking place on the supply side of the labour market.
Fulfilling the Right to Food for South Africa: Justice, Security, Sovereignty and the Politics of Malnutrition
Authors: Moyo Busiso Helard , Thow Anne Marie Thompson 
Published: September 2020

Despite South Africa’s celebrated constitutional commitments that have expanded and deepened South Africa’s commitment to realise socio-economic rights, limited progress in implementing right to food policies stands to compromise the country’s developmental path. If not a deliberate policy choice, the persistence of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms is a deep policy failure. Food system transformation in South Africa requires addressing wider issues of who controls the food supply, thus influencing the food chain and the food choices of the individual and communities. This paper examines three global rights-based paradigms – ‘food justice’, ‘food security’ and ‘food sovereignty’ – that inform activism on the right to food globally and their relevance to food system change in South Africa; for both fulfilling the right to food and addressing all forms of malnutrition. We conclude that the emerging concept of food sovereignty has important yet largely unexplored possibilities for democratically managing food systems for better health outcomes.
A household waste stream analysis in a rural Mexican location

Published: September 2020

Abstract:
Aim: This paper presents a waste stream exploratory study with the purpose of identifying opportunity gaps to reduce environmental and health risks within the household waste stream in a small rural population in Northwestern Mexico by following the waste management hierarchy.
Design / Research methods: The study consisted of three phases. Firstly, a one-stage cluster sampling was conducted to characterize the household waste in this rural population. A cluster in this study was a block. There were 54 clusters, but only 40 with occupied houses. The clusters were selected by simple random sampling. During the second phase of this study, a survey was conducted to examine the waste management practices of the residents of sampled houses. Considering that 51 were the habited houses in the sampled clusters, a simple random sampling for finite populations was selected. Finally, a quadrat sampling method was conducted. The total area of the municipal landfill site was divided into black and white quadrats. The white color was represented by tails while the black color was represented by heads. The color of the sampled quadrats was selected after 50 flip virtual coins for true randomness.
Conclusions/findings: Findings in this study indicate the willingness of the inhabitants in this rural location to participate in source reduction initiatives. Findings also showed that organic waste was the predominant material in the household waste composition. Therefore, there are opportunities to enhance composting at home or even implement a community composting program. The riskier situations revealed by this study were observed at the landfill site where air emissions and leachate occurred.
Originality/value of the article: Based on the waste stream analysis, there are some opportunities to reduce the environmental and health risks in a small rural zone in Northwestern Mexico. In this regard, this study can serve as an example to analyze and compare sustainable opportunities in other rural zones around the world.
