Media and basic desires: An approach to measuring the mediatization of daily human life
Authors: Bengtsson Stina , Fast Karin , Jansson André , Lindell Johan 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The extended reliance on media can be seen as one indicator of mediatization. But even though we can assume that the pervasive character of digital media essentially changes the way people experience everyday life, we cannot take these experiences for granted. There has recently been a formulation of three tasks for mediatization research; historicity, specificity and measurability, needed to empirically verify mediatization processes across time and space. In this article, we present a tool designed to handle these tasks, by measuring the extent to which people experience that media reach into the deeper layers of daily human life. The tool was tested in an empirical study conducted in Sweden in 2017. The results show that perceived media reliance is played out in relation to three types of basic desires: (1) (re)productive desires, (2) recognition desires, and (3) civic desires, and is socially structured and structuring. We argue this tool, in diachronic analyses, can measure one important aspect of mediatization.

Abstract

Objectives
The present study was planned to investigate the efficacy of SLBSP vs. standardized BSE for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment.

Methods
It was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, and single-centre clinical trial for symptomatic osteoarthritis of knee. Subjects were randomized to receive SLBSP capsule+BSE Placebo or BSE tablet+SLBSP placebo for two months. Patients were allowed to take rescue analgesics (Acelofenac 100 mg). Improvement in pain and function was assessed utilizing WOMAC, VAS. Level of CTX-II in urine and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines including IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ was measured initially and at end of treatment.

Results and conclusions
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and Visual Analog Scale score improved markedly in SLBSP as well as in BSE arm (p < 0.05). Difference in VAS and WOMAC scores between the two arms was not statistically significant. Most significant effect was observed in the need for rescue analgesics. SLBSP caused marked lowering of pro-inflammatory cytokines levels whereas a several fold increase was noted in the BSE arm (p < 0.05). Both groups showed marked improvement in pain, SLBSP being superior to BSE with respect to reducing the need for rescue analgesics in addition to modulating inflammatory cytokines.

Published: June 2020

Abstract

Aim
Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a rare pulmonary pathology that occurs in the absence of known lung disease. A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the results and outcome of PSP treatment in adolescents.

Methods
The cases with PSP from January 2004 to December 2017 were evaluated for age, sex, family and smoking history, clinical and radiological findings and results of treatment.

Results
Ten cases with PSP were included. The mean age of the patients was 15 years (10–17 years) and the male to female ratio was 9:1. Two of the patients (20%) had family history of PSP and four cases (40%) had smoking history. The initial complaints were chest pain (n=8), acute onset of cough (n=1) and breathing difficulty (n=1). Tube thoracostomy was performed in nine cases in which three of them were bilateral. Chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated bullae (n=4; 40%) and subpleural blebs (n=2; 20%). Pleurodesis with talc was performed in four patients with pneumothorax for longer than a week in follow-up (n=4; 40%). Five cases had recurrent PSP within one year (n=5; 50%) and underwent pleurodesis with talc (n=4), autologous-blood (n=1) and bleomycin (n=1). Bleb excision was performed in two cases with persistent pneumothorax despite pleurodesis.

Conclusion
Tube thoracostomy and oxygen supplementation, are considered as initial and adequate treatment of PSP in most of the adolescents. Prolonged air leaks require pleurosdesis as the first line treatment and surgical excision of blebs should be reversed for the patients who are unresponsive to other treatment options.
Self perceived oro-facial behaviour and malocclusion among young adults in Hyderabad city
Authors: Tejaswini Dasari , Kulkarni Suhas , Doshi Dolar , Srilatha Adepu 
Published: June 2020

Abstract

Background
Aesthetic alterations in the face can be self-perceived and can affect quality of life in young adults.

Objective
To assess the impact of malocclusion on self- perceived oro-facial behaviour among young adults.

Methods
A Cross sectional study was conducted among 638 young adults (aged 18–21 years) of Hyderabad city. One college from each of the five zones of the Hyderabad city (five colleges) were selected by simple random sampling procedure. A 21-item Oro-facial investment scale (OFIS) questionnaire assessing self-perceived oral health knowledge, attitude, practice and Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) assessing the severity of malocclusion was used. Data were analysed with standard statistical software (SPSS, Statistical package for the social sciences, version 20.0). p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results
Males had higher mean scores for knowledge (2.90 ± 0.49) than females (2.73 ± 0.82) and was statistically significant (p = 0.002*). No statistically significant gender differences were found in relation to attitude and practice. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that there was a significant difference in all the three scores (knowledge, attitude, practice) with respect to age, with significantly high score for knowledge and practice among 18 year old subjects (p = 0.0001*; p = 0.0003* respectively) and attitude among 21 year old subjects (p = 0.0049*). No statistically significant age, gender differences were found in relation to DAI scores. Upon correlation, DAI significantly and positively correlated with knowledge (p = 0.03*) and attitude (p = 0.0001*).

Conclusion
This study has shown significant impact of malocclusion on the self-perceived oro-facial behaviour.

Astract

Objectives
The objective of this study was to compare the characteristics of adolescents and young adults (AYA) who perceive themselves as popular with AYAs who perceive themselves as unpopular vis-á-vis peers from same-sex, opposite-sex, or both.

Methods
Among a representative sample of in-school 15–24 year-olds students (n=5,179) who completed a self-administrated questionnaire, we measured self-perception of popularity, socio-demographic data, ease to make same/opposite-sex friends, emotional well-being, school variables, substance use, sensation seeking, self-perception of pubertal timing, and aggressive/violent behavior.

Results
Overall, our findings put forth that popularity was associated to easiness of making same/opposite-sex friends, emotional well-being, socio-economical background, sensation seeking behaviors, and alcohol misuse. Differences appeared between males or females.

Conclusion
Findings indicate that popularity remains a very important issue among this age group and should be a red flag in clinical assessment. Future research should explore whether feeling of unpopularity can be used as a marker of adolescent well-being and hence help identify those youths who might need help.

Published: June 2020

Abstract

Objectives
To describe individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors and sexual risk behaviors among Thai Muslim adolescents.

Methods
We recruited adolescents from four schools and one vocational college on the Southern border of Thailand during October 2018 to January 2019. We used password-protected online questionnaires for each respondent to protect their privacy.

Results
We recruited N = 700 participants of which 9% were sexually experienced. Of those participants, many had never used a condom (41.3%) or considered taking contraceptive pills (71.4%). Moreover, 54% of them have had sexual intercourse more than once. Some had been infected with an STI (17.5%), and (14.3%) became pregnant more than once. Adolescents reported individual factors such as high religiosity (58.7%), and (47.6%) practiced Islam daily with no differences between boys and girls. Girls had significantly higher refusal of sex self-efficiency than boys (96 vs. 119.5, p < 0.05). In the interpersonal factors, boys had more uninvolved parenting style, lower parental monitoring, higher parental approval of sex, and higher perceived peer norm than girls. The environmental factors besides cultural norms impacted girls and boys equally.

Conclusions
We showed low rates of sexual activity, but in those adolescents who were sexually active we showed high rates of lack of knowledge and higher rates of sexual risk behaviors. Individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors all influenced sexual risk behaviors. We recommend comprehensive sexuality education that includes Islamic context for adolescents and their parents embedded in policy, religious, and community cultural practices.
Gett’n on the bus: evaluation of Sentinel City®3.0 virtual simulation in community/population health clinical placement
Authors: Chircop Andrea , Cobbett Shelley 
Published: June 2020

Abstract

Objectives
The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate the integration of a computer-based virtual simulation program into a community clinical course as an alternative or complement to conventional clinical with agencies or neighbourhoods. Securing quality community health clinical opportunities for undergraduate nursing students remains challenging. In addition, evidence of a theory-practice gap in community clinical education, particularly in non-traditional settings, suggests that nurse educators need to adopt different pedagogies to ensure that students will gain competencies necessary to practice community/population health nursing. In response, we piloted the use of Sentinel City®3.0, a virtual reality simulation program.

Method
A 5-point Likert-style questionnaire was administered to students randomly assigned to different clinical placements.

Results
Results indicated that there were no learning outcomes in which students in Sentinel City®3.0 reported percentages lower than students in agencies or geographical neighbourhoods. When there were statistically significant differences, students engaged in Sentinel City®3.0 performed better than students in other experiences.

Conclusion
We recommend further exploration of multi-contextual pedagogies for community clinical.

Two Temperature Extension of Phonon Hydrodynamics
Authors: Cao Bing-Yang , Grmela Miroslav , Guo Zeng-Yuan , Hua Yu-Chao , Nie Ben-Dian 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Phonon hydrodynamics uses the fields of the total energy and the heat flux as state variables. We extend it by promoting the microscopic internal energy field into the status of an extra independent state variable. The governing equations of both the phonon and the extended (two temperature) phonon hydrodynamics are formulated as particular realizations of the abstract GENERIC equation. Such unified formulation makes both theories manifestly compatible with mechanics and thermodynamics. Also differences and similarities (in the physical content, in the mathematical structure, and in qualitative properties of solutions) between the two heat transfer theories, as well as their mutual compatibility, become manifestly displayed.
Strategic noise mapping in Athens International Airport: A tool for balanced approach & health effects evaluation

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Athens International Airport (A.I.A) is the first major transportation infrastructure in Greece with the participation of the private sector, a pioneer international Public-Private Partnership. Environmental protection is a priority, and AIA, is committed to protect the environment and preventing or lessening negative impacts, through a comprehensive Environmental Policy and Procedures. Within this framework, AIA has already carried out the study for Strategic Noise Map (SNM) and the Noise Action Plan (NAP) for the Aircraft Noise. According to the European Directive 49/2002 the study should be repeated every 5 years. This research article focuses on the comparative study for the latest SNMs 2017 & 2019 (ECAC Doc.29) and for 2019 (executed by the new methodology CNOSSOS-GR), for the respective traffic data 2016 & 2018, and presents the results of the acoustic model in order to create the Strategic Noise Maps for L

indicators. With a view to implementing the legislation, an analysis of aircraft mix for every year (except helicopters, military and other specific flights) was carried out in accordance with the categorisation provided for in the relevant recommendation of the Committee of 6 August 2003 and the European Commission adopted Directive 2015/996. The potential health effects were further analyzed using the World Health Organization (WHO’s) Disability Adjusted Life Year’s (DALY’s) metrics for aircraft noise in relation to the exposure of the population based on the results of alternative comparative Strategic Noise Maps. The aim of the study is to show how the combination of both the implementation of the European Directive 2002/49 and 2015/996 and the DALY approach is an analysis tool for the evaluation of the acoustic environment. As we can observe in the results, the overall findings are significantly lower in the case of SNM 2019 (executed by the new methodology CNOSSOS-GR) than in the others.
Sex with robots: A not-so-niche market for disabled and older persons
Authors: Koumpis Adamantios , Gees Thomas 
Published: June 2020

AbstractIn this article, we present our experiences from research into the healthy ageing and well-being of older people and we report on our personal opinions of robots that may help the elderly to have sex and to cope with isolation and loneliness. However, and while there is a growing industry for sex robots and other sex toys and gadgets, there is also a growing concern about the ethics of such an industry. As is the case with pornography, the concept of sex robots may be criticized, yet it has deep roots in human civilization, with erotic depictions that date back to the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Ages. So the need for an artefact that would offer sexually relevant functionality is not new at all. But what might be new and worrying is the potential for using artificial intelligence in sex robots in ways that might cause a repositioning of our entire value system. Such a threat is not related to the proliferation of sex robots per se but to the use of robots in general and in a variety of other fields of application.
A Naturalistic Dynamic Monkey Head Avatar Elicits Species-Typical Reactions and Overcomes the Uncanny Valley

Published: June 2020

AbstractResearch on social perception in monkeys may benefit from standardized, controllable, and ethologically valid renditions of conspecifics offered by monkey avatars. However, previous work has cautioned that monkeys, like humans, show an adverse reaction toward realistic synthetic stimuli, known as the “uncanny valley” effect. We developed an improved naturalistic rhesus monkey face avatar capable of producing facial expressions (fear grin, lip smack and threat), animated by motion capture data of real monkeys. For validation, we additionally created decreasingly naturalistic avatar variants. Eight rhesus macaques were tested on the various videos and avoided looking at less naturalistic avatar variants, but not at the most naturalistic or the most unnaturalistic avatar, indicating an uncanny valley effect for the less naturalistic avatar versions. The avoidance was deepened by motion and accompanied by physiological arousal. Only the most naturalistic avatar evoked facial expressions comparable to those toward the real monkey videos. Hence, our findings demonstrate that the uncanny valley reaction in monkeys can be overcome by a highly naturalistic avatar.

BACKGROUND:Obtaining recent estimates of the prevalence of suicide-related outcomes across adolescence and its associated mental health problems (MHPs) is important for clinical practice. We estimated the prevalence of suicide-related outcomes at ages 13, 15, 17, and 20 years (2011–2018) in a contemporary population-based cohort and documented associations with MHPs throughout adolescence.METHODS:Data came from 1618 participants in the Québec Longitudinal Study of Child Development. Internalizing (depression and anxiety) and externalizing (oppositional/defiance, conduct issues, and attention deficit and/or hyperactivity) MHPs were assessed with validated questionnaires. Outcomes were self-reported past-year passive and serious suicidal ideation and suicide attempt.RESULTS:Lifetime prevalence of passive suicidal ideation (13–17 years old), serious suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt (13–20 years old) were 22.2%, 9.8%, and 6.7%, respectively. Prevalence was twice as high for females as for males. Overall, rates of passive (15–17 years old; 11.8%–18.4%) and serious ideation (13–20 years old; 3.3%–9.5%) increased over time but were stable for attempt (13–20 years old; 3.5%–3.8%). In univariable analyses, all MHPs were associated with suicide-related outcomes at all ages (risk rate ratio range: 2.57–3.10 [passive ideation] and 2.10–4.36 [suicide attempt]), and associations were similar for male and female participants (sex interaction P &gt; .05). Magnitude of associations were generally stronger for more severe suicide-related outcomes (passive ideation &lt; serious ideation &lt; attempt). In multivariable analyses, internalizing problems were associated with suicidal ideation, whereas both depressive and conduct symptoms were associated with attempt.CONCLUSIONS:Suicidal ideation and attempt were common, especially for females and youth presenting with depressive and conduct problem symptoms. Clinicians should systematically assess suicidal risk in teenagers, especially in those presenting with MHPs.

Published: June 2020

Introducción: la educación para la salud abarca una serie de herramientas de aprendizaje que ayudan a modificar las conductas relacionadas con el bienestar de las personas. La historieta es un medio de comunicación aceptado por diferentes grupos etarios, en especial por los niños y adolescentes, lo que sugiere que puede ser probada como una herramienta de enseñanza. Evaluar el uso de la historieta para promover el cuidado de la cavidad oral en pacientes pediátricos de 6 a 10 años que asisten a la escuela deportiva de la Fundación Granitos de Paz de Cartagena.
Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio cuasi experimental en el que se conformaron dos grupos de estudio a los que previamente se les aplicó un test sobre autocuidado de la cavidad bucal para posteriormente realizar enseñanza en salud oral, con el grupo control se utilizaron técnicas educativas basadas en charlas y demostraciones, mientras que el grupo de estudio recibió educación en salud a través de una historieta, los conocimientos adquiridos se evaluaron aplicando un test.
Resultados y conclusiones: los resultados del pretest no fueron satisfactorios para ninguno de los dos grupos de estudio. Una vez aplicadas las técnicas de educación en salud oral los resultados del postest mostraron que el 76 % de los niños que fueron educados con historieta presentaron una calificación excelente, mientras que solo el 28 % de los niños educados con estrategias convencionales recibieron esta valoración. Los resultados positivos ponen de manifiesto que la historieta tuvo buena aceptación y promovió la asimilación de conocimientos acerca del cuidado de la salud bucal en los niños.
LEARNING ENGLISH THROUGH STORY, SONG AND PLAYING
Authors: Ananthi Winti 
Published: June 2020

Banyak lembaga PAUD, baik formal, nonformal, dan informal, yang telah memperkenalkan bahasa Inggris di lembaganya. Namun sayangnya, banyak lembaga tersebut yang mengenalkan bahasa Inggris hanya dengan memberikan kosakata bahasa Inggris dan padanannya dalam bahasa Indonesia sehingga pengenalan bahasa Inggris di PAUD menjadi kurang bermakna. Agar lebih bermakna, sebaiknya pengenalan bahasa Inggris memperhatikan prinsip-prinsip PAUD yang telah dikemukakan sebelumnya. Belajar bahasa Inggris melalui Story, Songdan Playing diharapkan dapat memenuhi prinsip-rinsip PAUD yang telah diinstruksikan oleh pemerintah. Pengenalan bahasa Inggris melalui Story, Songdan Playingdiharapkan dapat meningkat kemampuan bahasa Inggrisnya dan sekaligus diharapkan anak usia dini dapat mengembangkan sikap toleransi dan cinta damai, hormat terhadap orang lain yang mempunyai latar belakang budaya yang berbeda, dan juga dapat menumbuhkan rasa cinta terhadap tanah air.
