Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The result of the research shows that the implementation of employee performance appraisal at the Bina Mandiri Gorontalo Foundation based on 7 (seven) performance evaluation indicators can be said to be not yet fully appropriate. Three categorized indicators are by performance appraisal, namely obedience, honesty, and cooperation. Meanwhile, the indicators of leadership, responsibility, and achievement are not appropriate because in the performance evaluation that indicators still less influential. And, the initiative is categorized as inappropriate because in the performance evaluation it does not become a benchmark in performance appraisal. The factors that hampered the implementation of performance appraisal at the Bina Mandiri Gorontalo Foundation were seen from seven factors.
Based on the results of the research five factors hinder the performance evaluation, are lack of objectivity, halo effect, Leniency, Strictness, and Personal Prejudices. While the other two factors, i.e. Central Tendency and Recent Behavior Bias is inappropriate because these two factors did not hamper the implementation of performance appraisal at the Bina Mandiri Gorontalo Foundation.

Abstract
Examination of blood glucose levels using the POCT method using capillary blood helps diabetes mellitus patients monitor glucose levels. But often the insufficient stabbing causes the blood to come out a little so that the staff performs massage which can affect blood glucose levels. This study aims to determine the differences in the results of examination of blood glucose levels of patients with diabetes mellitus on fingers that are not massaged and massaged at Telaga Biru Public Health Center, Gorontalo District.
This research is an experimental study with a Pre Experiment Design type One group Prettest-Postest Design with a total of 21 samples taken capillary blood to check blood glucose levels on the fingers that are not massaged and massaged.
The results obtained were analyzed using the Faired Sample t-Test. The results showed that the mean blood glucose level on the fingers that was not massaged was 321 mg/dL, while the mean blood glucose level on the fingers that was massaged was 299 mg/dL. The results of the Faired Sample t-Test showed a significant value of 0.000 <0.05. There was a significant difference in the results of examining blood glucose levels on fingers that were not massaged and massaged by diabetes mellitus patients at Telaga Biru Health Center, Gorontalo District. Laboratory personnel are expected to perform deep punctures on the fingers so that the blood that comes out is enough for the POCT method of blood glucose testing.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Importance: The occupational goal intervention (OGI) method has been proven effective in improving executive function (EF) in people with schizophrenia, but it has not yet been tested with those with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS).
Objective: To test the efficacy of the OGI in people with TRS.
Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial.
Setting: The Schizophrenia Program, Institute of Psychiatry, University of São Paulo General Hospital, Brazil.
Participants: People with TRS according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) criteria, ages 18 to 55.
Outcomes and Measures: Primary outcome: improvement in EF as measured by the Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS). Secondary outcomes: improvement of functionality, as measured by the Direct Assessment of Functional Status–Revised (DAFS–BR), and improvement in autonomy in activities of daily living (ADLs), as measured by the Independent Living Skills Survey (ILSS–BR), administered to caregivers. The outcomes were measured at baseline, posttreatment, and follow-up.
Intervention: Participants were divided into two groups: OGI and craft activities (control). Each group participated in 30 sessions during 15 wk, with follow-up at 6 mo postintervention.
Results: The OGI group improved significantly compared with the control group, with medium to large effect sizes in posttreatment scores on the BADS and DAFS–BR. The ILSS–BR showed the highest effect sizes at posttreatment and follow-up.
Conclusions and Relevance: The OGI method is effective for improving EF, occupational performance and ADLs in people with TRS.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Importance: The number of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) seeking treatment in non–IDD-specific health care settings is growing. Little is known about how adults with IDD use health care services in specialty settings, including occupational therapy services.
Objective: To describe adults with IDD in hospitals and identify differences in utilization patterns compared with patients without IDD.
Design: Descriptive and correlational designs were used.
Participants: Data were obtained from Vizient (Clinical Data Base/Resource Manager™), a national database of administrative discharge abstracts for adults admitted to hospitals for an orthopedic procedure. From this sample, subsamples of (1) patients diagnosed with IDD and (2) an age- and gender-matched sample of patients without IDD were identified.
Results: The study cohort with IDD experienced longer lengths of stay, t(2821.5) = −14.2, p &lt; .001; were more likely to have Medicare coverage, χ2(3, N = 8,472) = 1,170.38, p &lt; .001; and were more commonly discharged to subacute or skilled nursing facilities, χ2(5, N = 8,472) = 1,033.60, p &lt; .001. Differences in occupational therapy services were also noted.
Conclusions and Relevance: Despite similarities in orthopedic procedures, participants with IDD had different use patterns than those without IDD. Differences may be attributed to varying client factors and contexts. The results also indicate that practitioners in non–IDD-specific settings should expect to encounter clients with IDD. Occupational therapy practitioners have an opportunity to be leaders in adapting treatment protocols and providing education to caregivers and health care providers on behalf of people with IDD.
What This Article Adds: This article provides novel information about a population that is known to experience disparities in health outcomes. It offers a basis on which future research can build to improve health care delivery and occupational therapy interventions to improve outcomes.

COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE OS VALORES DE BRILHO OBTIDOS EM ROCHA ORNAMENTAL SUBMETIDA AO PROCESSO DE POLIMENTO COM DIFERENTES RESINAS
Authors: MARTINS Bernardo Bernardi , SILVEIRA Leonardo Luiz Lyrio da 
Published: April 2021

RESUMO – O brilho de uma rocha ornamental após o Polimento é a principal característica analisada em relação a qualidade de produção, fator que pode ser decisivo durante a comercialização do mesmo. De forma empírica se diz que a resina é parte influenciadora na qualidade do brilho após o polimento da rocha. Para tanto, esse artigo demonstra, através do experimento realizado em uma indústria, por meio do polimento de chapas de uma rocha quartzolítica, que o brilho aferido obteve uma diferença entre as superfícies que receberam diferentes Sistemas Epóxi, de forma a demonstrar quais as características desses sistemas que provocaram a influência direta no resultado do brilho. Os resultados mostraram que existe uma íntima relação entre o sistema adotado e os resultados de brilho medidos. Na rocha estudada, o sistema que melhor foi o IV, apresentando valores bem superiores a outros também testados. Aspectos relacionados a preço dos insumos e tempo de produção devem ser considerados quando da escolha de qual sistema deverá ser adotado. Essa pesquisa é um passo importante para uma diminuição do empirismo que permeia o setor de rochas ornamentais e visa um maior controle do processo produtivo e um aumento da qualidade das rochas ornamentais brasileiras.

INFLUÊNCIA DO VOLUME DE ÁGUA UTILIZADO NO PROCESSO DE POLIMENTO DE ROCHAS ORNAMENTAIS NA QUALIDADE DO BRILHO FINAL
Authors: ALTOÉ Cássio Rigo , SILVEIRA Leonardo Luiz Lyrio da 
Published: April 2021

As rochas ornamentais são materiais naturais que passam por vários processos de beneficiamento e são empregadas para fins estéticos. O polimento faz parte do processo de beneficiamento e tem como objetivo reduzir a rugosidade da superfície do material e consequentemente conferir um maior brilho. A intensidade do brilho é um dos parâmetros para quantificar a qualidade do processo de polimento. A vazão de água durante o polimento é um fator ligado diretamente ao brilho e é uma variável ainda pouco estudada. Dessa forma, obter conhecimento sobre a quantidade a ser usada pode melhorar a qualidade da rocha e reduzir o uso do recurso hídrico na produção de rochas ornamentais. O objetivo desse trabalho foi submeter três rochas ornamentais de uso consagrado ao processo de polimento realizando variações na quantidade de água, com vista a verificar a sua influência na qualidade final das superfícies. Foram usados tipos rochosos distintos: um monzogranito, um gnaisse e um diorito, conhecidos comercialmente como: Cinza Corumbá, Branco Dallas e Preto São Gabriel, respectivamente. Esses materiais foram submetidos ao polimento em três vazões distintas. A primeira foi a quantidade usual da empresa onde se fez a pesquisa, 23,5 L/min, a segunda de 17 L/min e a terceira de 12 L/min. Notou-se que, de modo geral, com a redução do volume de água utilizado houve um aumento do brilho. Tal constatação é fundamental para a indústria, pois é um fator ligado diretamente com a qualidade do produto além de ter uma redução do uso da água durante o processo, o que permitirá com que a cadeia produtiva de rochas ornamentais se aproxime dos preceitos da sustentabilidade.

Published: April 2021

O Complexo Pedra Branca está localizado geograficamente na zona oeste da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e está inserido tectonicamente no Domínio Costeiro, pertencente ao Terreno Oriental da Faixa Ribeira Central. Os litotipos que formam o Complexo foram gerados em eventos relacionados a Orogênese Brasiliana (~600 Ma), abrigando assim rochas pré- a- pós-colisionais. O estudo de corpos graníticos pós-tectônicos na Faixa Ribeira revela que o magmatismo ocorreu em dois pulsos distintos, com intervalo de aproximadamente 30Ma entre eles. O presente estudo analisou 9 amostras do Complexo Pedra Branca, por meio dos métodos geocronológicos U-Pb e Lu-Hf, referentes às litologias granito Pedra Branca, possível representante do pulso mais antigo e granito Favela, possível representante do pulso mais jovem, a fim de melhorar a compreensão do magmatismo pós-tectônico na região. Os resultados, em sua maioria, corroboraram com os anteriormente descritos na literatura, porém indicaram que o magmatismo no complexo, ocorreu na forma de pulsos progressivos, diminuindo o tempo de intervalo esperado para o mesmo (~20Ma). O indicador petrogenético εHf indicou participação de fontes crustais e mantélicas, dando caráter bimodal ao magmatismo.

Authors: Tian Chao , Yang Tian-hao , Fu Le-jun , Jin Song 
Published: April 2021

IntroductionObjective: This study aims to investigate the reduction of radiation dose in cerebral CT perfusion by lower low-tube current.Material and methodsTwo hundred patients, who underwent cerebral non-contrast computed tomography (CT) and CT perfusion, were randomized into four groups according to tube current and contrast media (CM) concentration: group A (60 mAs, 320 mgI/ml), group B (60 mAs, 370 mgI/ml), group C (100 mAs, 320 mgI/ml), and group D (100 mAs, 370 mgI/ml). Among these four groups, the CT dose index (CTDIvol), dose length product (DLP) and effective dose (ED) was calculated. The quantitative image comparison included maximum enhancement, noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and mean transit time (MTT) from five regions of interests (ROIs).ResultsRanging from 100 mAs to 60 mAs, groups A and B achieved 40% lower CTDIvol, DLP and ED, when compared with groups C and D. Both the maximum enhancement and noise of all ROIs were higher in groups A and B, when compared to groups C and D (P<0.05). The CBV values were higher in groups B and D, when compared to groups A and C (P<0.05). The image quality (IQ) of each group of perfusion maps met the requirements for imaging diagnosis.ConclusionsThe reduction in tube current from 100 mAs to 60 mAs for cerebral CT perfusion led to a 40% reduction in radiation dose without sacrificing image quality.
Montelukast protects H9c2 cardiomyocytes against radiation-induced toxicity
Authors: Zhang Yingchun , Zheng Hongzhi , Wang Min 
Published: April 2021

IntroductionRadiation-induced cardiotoxicity is a major concern following radiation treatment or involuntary radiation exposure. The normal functionality of cardiomyocytes becomes limited, which results in deleterious consequences, including an increase in the secretion of proinflammatory factors, such as HMGB1, and oxidative stress due to increased production of NOX4 and ROS. Radiation exposure results in disruption of the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, increased expression of cytochrome c, and increased cleavage of caspase 3, thereby promoting cardiotoxicity and excessive apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. The cysLT1R antagonist montelukast is commonly used in the treatment of asthma, with recent studies showing potential for this drug in treating other diseases.Material and methodsRat H9c2 cardiomyocytes were used in all the vitro experiments. The MTT assay was used to determined the The Cell viability; DCFH-DA staning was used to measure the intracellular ROS; and TMRM method was used to determine the level of ΔΨm in H9c2 cells; All mRNA levels of gene were measured by real time-PCRResultsIn this study, we find that montelukast can mitigate the increase in oxidative stress and HMGB1 secretion induced by radiation, but also that montelukast exerts significant protective effects in terms of cell viability and apoptosis.ConclusionsThe authors of the present work hope to aid in the elucidation of the role of montelukast as a pretreatment for radiation and find safe and effective solutions to this common side effect of such a prevalent treatment in today’s society.
