CitSci.org &amp; PPSR Core: Sharing biodiversity observations across platforms
Authors: Budnicki Brandon , Newman Gregory 
Published: September 2021

CitSci.org is a global citizen science software platform and support organization housed at Colorado State University. The mission of CitSci is to help people do high quality citizen science by amplifying impacts and outcomes. This platform hosts over one thousand projects and a diverse volunteer base that has amassed over one million observations of the natural world, focused on biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability. It is a custom platform built using open source components including: PostgreSQL, Symfony, Vue.js, with React Native for the mobile apps. CitSci sets itself apart from other Citizen Science platforms through the flexibility in the types of projects it supports rather than having a singular focus. This flexibility allows projects to define their own datasheets and methodologies.
The diversity of programs we host motivated us to take a founding role in the design of the PPSR Core, a set of global, transdisciplinary data and metadata standards for use in Public Participation in Scientific Research (Citizen Science) projects. Through an international partnership between the Citizen Science Association, European Citizen Science Association, and Australian Citizen Science Association, the PPSR team and associated standards enable interoperability of citizen science projects, datasets, and observations.
Here we share our experience over the past 10+ years of supporting biodiversity research both as developers of the CitSci.org platform and as stewards of, and contributors to, the PPSR Core standard. Specifically, we share details about:

the origin, development, and informatics infrastructure for CitSci

our support for biodiversity projects such as population and community surveys

our experiences in platform interoperability through PPSR Core working with the Zooniverse, SciStarter, and CyberTracker

data quality

data sharing goals and use cases.

We conclude by sharing overall successes, limitations, and recommendations as they pertain to trust and rigor in citizen science data sharing and interoperability. As the scientific community moves forward, we show that Citizen Science is a key tool to enabling a systems-based approach to ecosystem problems.
On the determination of neutron multiplication by the Rossi-alpha method
Authors: Grabezhnoy Vladimir A. , Dulin Viktor A. , Dulin Vitaliy V. , Mikhailov Gennady M. 
Published: September 2021

Introduction. This work contains the results of determining the prompt neutron multiplication factor in the subcritical state of a one-core BFS facility, obtained by the neutron coincidence method, for which the influence of the error in the βeff in determining the multiplication factor turned out to be insignificant. The core of the facility consisted of rods filled with pellets of metallic depleted uranium, 37% enriched uranium dioxide and 95% enriched plutonium, sodium, stainless steel and Al2O3. Stainless steel served as a reflector.
Methods. In contrast to the inverse kinetics equation solving (IKES) method, which is convenient for determining reactor subcritical states, the neutron coincidence method practically does not depend on the error in the value of the effective fraction of delayed neutrons βeff. If in the IKES method the reactivity value is obtained in fractions of βeff, i.e., from the measurement of delayed neutrons, the neutron coincidence method is based on the direct measurement of the value (1 – kσp)2, where is the effective multiplication factor by prompt neutrons. The total multiplication factor is defined as keff = kσp + βeff. If, for example, keff ≈ 0.9 (which is typical for determining the fuel burnup campaign), then it is the error in determining kσp that is the main one in comparison with the error in βeff. Thus, a 10% error in βeff of 0.003–0.004 (typical for plutonium breeders) will make a contribution to the error 1 – keff equal to 1 – kσp + βeff ≈ 0.00035, i.e., approximately 0.35%, but not 10%, as in the IKES method.
Rossi-alpha measurements were carried out using two 3He counters and a time analyzer. The measurement channel width Δt was 1.0 μs. From these measurements, the value of the prompt neutron multiplication factor was obtained. In this case, the space-isotope correlation factor for the medium with a source was calculated using the following values: Φ(x) – solutions of the inhomogeneous equation for the neutron flux and Φ+(x) – solutions of the ajoint inhomogeneous equation.
Results. The authors also present a comparison of the results of the Rossi-alpha experiment and measurements of the BFS-73 subcritical facility by the standard IKES method in determining the multiplication factor value. The data of the IKES method differ insignificantly from the results of the Rossi-alpha method over the entire range of changes in the subcriticality with an increase in the subcriticality of the BFS-73 one-core facility.
Conclusion. It was impossible to apply the neutron coincidence method to fast reactors; however, the method turned out to be quite workable on their models created at the BFS facility, which was successfully demonstrated in this study.

1973-1997, la généalogie de la Prestation Spécifique Dépendance : La lente montée d’un processus de ségrégation et de stigmatisation des « personnes âgées dépendantes »
Authors: Ennuyer Bernard 
Published: September 2021

La loi du 24 janvier 1997 vient instituer, pour la première fois en France, une législation spécifique pour les personnes âgées de 60 ans et plus, qui ont besoin d'une aide dans leur vie quotidienne : la Prestation Spécifique Dépendance (PSD). Promulguée en aide sociale, cette loi est donc une loi d'assistance et de ségrégation sociale. Elle représente l'aboutissement d'un processus de catégorisation et de stigmatisation des « personnes âgées dépendantes », processus qui a pris naissance dans les années 1972-1973. Ce processus de stigmatisation s'articule autour de trois périodes distinctes : 1973-1997. De l'entrée du vocable « dépendance » dans le champ professionnel de la vieillesse, à l'émergence de ce mot dans le champ du politique (rapport Arreckx) : le temps des définitions et de la réflexion. 1980-1988. L'émergence des outils de mesure. La revendication des gériatres d'être les experts de la dépendance. La montée de la dépendance comme « problème social majeur » au regard des hommes politiques. 1989-1997. La mise en place chaotique et inachevée d'un processus législatif en direction des « personnes âgées dépendantes » : la loi PSD comme non-aboutissement d'une véritable politique publique, mais comme légitimation officielle d'une ségrégation et d'une stigmatisation de la « vieillesse dépendante ».
Chine. Des valeurs au service du Parti
Authors: Bondaz Antoine 
Published: September 2021

Dénoncées par Mao Zedong, qui considérait avec mépris la « vieille société», les valeurs traditionnelles sont désormais instrumentalisées par le régime chinois pour se légitimer auprès de la population, combattre toute influence étrangère, mais aussi rassurer à l’étranger sur ses intentions. Pékin ne semble pas mettre en œuvre une stratégie fondée sur des valeurs, contrairement à ce qui est affirmé, mais met en avant des valeurs en fonction de sa stratégie.
Valeurs, vertus et vainqueurs
Authors: Goya Michel 
Published: September 2021

La guerre est une chose trop sérieuse pour être laissée à des gens sans valeurs ni vertus. On ne s’engage au combat qu’avec un cadre mental prédéfini, qui indique à peu près comment les choses doivent se passer et le rôle que l’on doit y jouer. Ce cadre mental est cependant en tension permanente entre les nécessités terribles du champ de bataille et les obligations socio-culturelles de l’« arrière », deux champs instables. L’accord entre tous ces besoins parfois contradictoires tient donc le plus souvent du hasard et de l’éphémère.
Pensée, intelligence ou cerveau ? Subjectivation et psychopathologie des apprentissages
Authors: Weismann-Arcache Catherine 
Published: September 2021

Cet article propose de réintroduire une psychopathologie psychanalytique des apprentissages, aujourd’hui déniée au profit de l’hypothèse neurodéveloppementale dominante. Psychopathologie et développement peuvent être articulés et revisités à l’éclairage des cadres sociétaux contemporains. La révolution numérique et les concepts d’intelligence artificielle impactent nos représentations de l’enfant qui pense, en assimilant le cerveau à l’intelligence et à la pensée. Ces équivalences cerveau-intelligence-pensée constituent une régression épistémologique qui réduit les apprentissages à une performance : dans cette perspective nous parlons aujourd’hui d’en enfant « augmenté ». De l’enfant qui pense à l’enfant qui est pensé, nous retracerons le développement de la pensée chez l’enfant en insistant sur les conditions nécessaires à ce processus. Une vignette clinique évoquera les difficultés d’une fillette dyspraxique, et montrera combien les approches actuelles déterminent l’identification des troubles et les dispositifs thérapeutiques. Nous convoquerons aussi « Les demeurées », œuvre littéraire de Jeanne Benameur, pour éclairer les empêchements à la pensée et les manières singulières de se penser comme sujet devenant et apprenant.

Abstract
A multiweek standardized sampling regime during 2004–2016 in a 60-km reach of the Upper Missouri River assessed reproduction and catch rates for Sturgeon Chub Macrhybopsis gelida and Sicklefin Chub Macrhybopsis meeki. We sampled age-0 Macrhybopsis (primarily Sturgeon Chubs, but potentially including Sicklefin Chubs) all years to indicate successful reproduction, but noted an inverse correlation of catch per unit area (CPUA) with year. There was an inverse correlation for CPUA of age-1+ Sturgeon Chubs with year. There was no correlation for CPUA of age-1+ Sicklefin Chubs with year, but we noted a depression in CPUA during 2010 and 2012. The study reach includes restoration directives for federally endangered Pallid Sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus, with 245,000 hatchery-origin Pallid Sturgeon (HOPS) stocked since 1998 to supplement the declining wild stock. Pallid Sturgeon longer than 350 mm fork length transition to piscivory and are known to prey on Sturgeon Chubs and Sicklefin Chubs. We examined the hypothesis that mass additions of HOPS to the existing predator community could have population-level effects on the two chub species. Population modeling for the stocked HOPS through time yielded estimates of nearly 1,300 piscivore-sized HOPS in 2004, an increase to 26,000 HOPS in 2012, and decreasing numbers through 2016 (14,500). A negative correlation between HOPS abundance and age-0 Macrhybopsis CPUA had the best support among other candidate variables (discharge, water temperature, catch rates of Sauger Sander canadensis). We found an inverse correlation for CPUA of age-1+ Sturgeon Chubs and estimated HOPS abundance, and there was also evidence of an inverse association between age-1+ Sicklefin Chub CPUA and HOPS in the study area. Results for a 60-km reach of the Upper Missouri River suggest declining CPUA for age-0 Macrhybopsis and Sturgeon Chubs during 2004–2016 and modest recovery of Sicklefin Chubs after 2012. Although causative factors driving CPUA changes through time are not known, correlative analyses suggest that large numbers of HOPS added to the Missouri River predator community potentially influence CPUA of Sturgeon Chubs and Sicklefin Chubs in the study area. Testing this hypothesis will require expanded quantification of chub populations and HOPS numbers through time.

Published: September 2021

Background:
The neonatal period is important for establishing a strong healthy foundation and is also associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. This study aimed to determine the rate of neonatal hospital readmission and to identify the associations between the neonatal age at readmission and the length of stay (LOS) during readmission, the outcome of readmission, and the associated maternal and neonatal factors.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was performed by reviewing the medical records of 570 neonates who were born in and readmitted to King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, through emergency and outpatient clinics from January 2016 to December 2018.

Results:
The neonatal readmission rate during the study period was 2.11%. The most common causes for readmission were respiratory diseases (24.9%), jaundice (22.1%), and fever to rule out sepsis (16.7%). Sex and breastfeeding were significantly associated with neonatal age at readmission (P = 0.025 and P = 0.017, respectively), but only breastfeeding was a significant predictor of age at readmission. Males were more likely to be admitted at the age >7 days, and exclusively formula-fed neonates were approximately three times the risk compared to exclusively breastfed neonates to be admitted at age >7 days (adjusted risk ratio 2.9, 95% confidence interval). Neonates readmitted at ages >7 days had double the LOS as those readmitted at ages ≤7 days (P < 0.001). The outcomes (discharge or pediatric intensive care unit admission) had no significant association with neonatal age at readmission.

Conclusion:
The readmission rate was 2.11% and was most commonly due to respiratory diseases. Age at readmission was significantly associated with sex, breastfeeding, and LOS. Assessment of the factors associated with readmission before discharge may reduce the rate of readmission.
Qualitative observational assessment of the recommended hand rubbing technique amongst young healthcare workers at an academic hospital
Authors: Barry Mazin , Alotaibi Raghad , Alotaibi Farah , Alotaibi Lama 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Hand hygiene (HH) is a major cornerstone in preventing hospital-acquired infections. The recommended six-step alcohol-based hand rubbing (ABHR) technique has not been qualitatively evaluated amongst young healthcare workers (HCWs) before.

Methods:
A cross-sectional observational study at an academic hospital was conducted in 2018; data collectors observed HCWs voluntarily perform ABHR, observing for the quality of the six steps of HH and recording the duration, and if they performed accessory removal then recorded total qualitative scores.

Results:
Three hundred and seventy-seven young HCWs were qualitatively observed, the mean age of participants was 24.1 years, 49.1% were female, only 10 (2.7%) completely fulfilled all six steps, 97.35% of HCWs had inadequate hand surface coverage and 69.23% did not achieve sufficient timing. The median scores, out of 12, for 3rd-, 4th- and 5th-year medical students, were 6.4, 7.2 and 7.5, respectively, while medical interns scored 7.4 and medical residents scored 7.5 (P = 0.016). Participants with previous HH training sessions scored higher with mean scores of 7.4 versus 6.3 (P ≤ 0.001).

Conclusion:
The quality of ABHR practised by young HCWs lacked the appropriate coverage of full hands surface coverage and inadequate duration of time, special training and follow-up on the quality of ABHR technique for HCWs early in their career is warranted.
Evolution of disability pension after renal transplantation: methods and results of a database linkage study of the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study and Swiss Disability Insurance

AIMS: In Switzerland, certain patients with disabilities and reduced working ability are entitled to a disability pension granted by the Swiss Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO). The aim was to assess the evolution of disability pension and work capacity after kidney transplantation and thereby pilot the procedures linking FSIO data with Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (STCS) data.
METHODS: The current study pilot tested the record linkage of FSIO data with data from the STCS in a single-centre, observational setting. Patients were requested to consent to the use of their Swiss social security number (SSSN) for the purpose of record linkage. A privacy preserving trust centre approach was implemented with blinded statistical analysis.
RESULTS: Between May 2008 and December 2015, 282 working-age renal transplant recipients of the University Hospital of Basel transplant centre were eligible for inclusion and 136 (48%, median age 48 years) consented to the use of their social security number and record linkage. The FSIO datasets of all patients were successfully retrieved and linked to STCS data in the trust centre and were numerically analysable. Yearly FSIO allowance data were available for the entire study duration. Fifty-five patients (40%) were registered as disability insurance recipients (DIR). In the entire population, the proportion of working patients slightly decreased from 76% to 72% between the pre-transplant and the post-transplant period. This was due to the lower proportion of patients working after transplantation in DIR compared with non-recipients (non-DIR) (DIR: 60% before vs 44% after; non-DIR: 83% before vs 88% after). In the DIR group, the proportion of patients not working increased from 36% to 49%, whereas in non-DIR the proportion changed only marginally (14% to 12%). The average disability insurance allowance was CHF 1172 per month. It changed from CHF 1135 before transplantation to CHF 1209 after transplantation (p = 0.59).
CONCLUSIONS: In the Swiss healthcare and social insurance system, record linkage studies combining clinical datasets with data from FSIO are feasible but associated with great efforts and resource needs. The lack of changes in disability allowances after kidney transplantation should be further investigated in the nationwide setting.

THE IMPACT ON LEAN PRACTICES BY OPERATIONAL FACTORS: EVIDENCE FROM THE MANUFACTURING FIRMS OF PAKISTAN
Authors: HASNAIN MUSTAQEEM KHAN  , DR. MUHAMMAD ASIM  , SALMAN MANZOOR  
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The study has aimed to identify the effect of lean practices on the operational performance of manufacturing firms in Pakistan.
Design/Methodology: Using a positivistic deductive approach, the study has collected 211 responses from the supply chain professionals of manufacturing firms of Karachi, Pakistan using a purposive sampling technique. PLS-SEM has been employed for data analysis using SmartPLS version 3.2.8.
Findings: The study has manifested that lean practices can enable manufacturing firms of Pakistan to improve their operational performance.
Implications: Kanban is one of the most effective and tested methods to do this. Kanban is a mechanism that controls the flow of products within a supply chain by using visual signals (cards). There is a Kanban card attached to each object, container, crate, or pallet. The Kanban card details the products and amounts to purchase, so the factory floor may request the right parts. Workers take the card and give it to the department of sales.
Originality: The study has not been employed in the Pakistan context while due to lack of lean application in the industrial sector of Pakistan; the implications may encourage organizations towards lean practices. Moreover, lean practices can enable large-scale manufacturing firms to improve their performance in the current downturn.
Análisis de factores asociados con el Síndrome de Resección Anterior en pacientes operados por tumores de recto.
Authors: Mattacheo Adrian , Magrini Laura , Rivera Mariano , Tognelli Joaquín , Venditti Darío , Lucilli Norberto , Pedro Luis 
Published: September 2021

Introducción: Los pacientes con resección anterior baja por cáncer de recto suelen manifestar trastornos funcionales relacionados con la evacuación intestinal, los que, unidos, se expresan como Síndrome de Resección Anterior Baja (LARS). Los síntomas consisten en aumento de la frecuencia, urgencia y fraccionamiento evacuatorio, e incontinencia fecal. También se han demostrado algunos factores predisponentes para su aparición.
Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de LARS, y su relación con factores de riesgo.
Diseño: Observacional, retrospectivo y transversal.
Material y métodos: Pacientes sometidos a resección anterior baja con anastomosis primaria extraperitoneal y restablecimiento del tránsito intestinal por adenocarcinoma o lesión sospechosa en recto, entre junio de 2012 y marzo de 2021, por integrantes del mismo equipo. Se realizó clasificación de severidad de LARS mediante el Score LARS (rango 0-42) entre noviembre 2020 y abril 2021.
Resultados: Entre junio de 2012 y marzo de 2021, 69 pacientes cumplían con los criterios de inclusión. Con una mediana de tiempo desde la cirugía al cuestionario de 31 meses (3-97), el 40,6% (28/69) de los pacientes obtuvieron un score de LARS de 30 o más (LARS mayor). El riesgo de LARS mayor estuvo significativamente incrementado en el sexo femenino (OR 3.4, IC95% 1.08-11.8), la radioterapia previa (OR 3.8, IC95% 1,4-10) y la resección total del mesorrecto (OR 4.1, IC95% 1.06-15.9). No se encontró asociación con la edad, el uso de reservorio, anastomosis coloanal manual, ni con el uso de una ostomía transitoria.
Conclusiones: La prevalencia de Score de LARS mayor en nuestro medio es similar a la reportada en la literatura. La radioterapia y la escisión total del mesorrecto son variables que se asocian a un score LARS mayor, pero que se fundamentan en resultados oncológicos más que funcionales. Las medidas potencialmente preventivas, como el tipo de anastomosis, no parecen ser determinantes.
