Published: December 2021

Background: Older adult quality of life (QoL) is facing huge challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. New normal lifestyle behaviors, including getting adequate physical activity (PA), consuming sufficient fruits and vegetables (FV) and enacting individual preventive behaviors (frequent hand washing, facemask wearing, and social distancing), as a significant determinant for QoL, have not been adequately addressed in older adults during the pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of QoL in Chinese older adults after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hubei China. The objective of the study was to examine any associations of lifestyle behaviors with QoL, and to identify the moderating role of socioeconomic indicators in the associations identified.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hubei, China, from June 15, 2020, to July 10, 2020. Five hundred sixteen older adults completed an online survey (mean age = 67.6 ± 6.6; 57.9% women). The questionnaire consisted of demographic information, covariates (chronic diseases and infected cases of acquaintances), lifestyle behaviors [PA stage, FV intake (FVI) stage and three preventive behaviors], and QoL. T-tests, ANOVA tests, multiple linear regression models with simple slope analyses were used to test the hypotheses.Results: QoL significantly differed in relation to economic situation, chronic diseases, marital status, education, living situation, age group, and professional status. Participants' economic situation (βaverage vs. below average = 0.17, p &lt; 0.01; βabove average vs. below average = 0.15, p &lt; 0.01), chronic diseases (βyes vs. no = 0.19, p &lt; 0.001), FVI stage (β = 0.21, p &lt; 0.001), and preventive behaviors (β = 0.10, p &lt; 0.05) indicated a significant association with QoL. Education level and economic situation significantly interacted with preventive behaviors on QoL, respectively (βpreventive behaviors × educational level = −1.3, p &lt; 0.01; βpreventive behaviors × economic situation = −0.97, p &lt; 0.05).Conclusions: Findings emphasize the importance of enhancing FVI and preventive behaviors on QoL improvement in older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Older adults who are in a lower economic situation with lower education levels should be given priority when implementing interventions to improve preventive behaviors and QoL in older adults.

Background and Purpose: Studies on the regional differences in hospital costs of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are scarce in China. We aimed to explore the regional differences in hospital costs and identify the determinants of hospital costs in each region.Methods: Data were collected from the Chinese Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment Outcome Registry (CASTOR), a multicenter prospective study on patients diagnosed with AIS and hospitalized from 2015 to 2017. Univariate and multivariate analyses were undertaken to identify the determinants of hospital costs of AIS.Results: A total of 8,547 patients were included in the study, of whom 3,700 were from the eastern area, 2,534 were from the northeastern area, 1,819 were from the central area, and 494 were from the western area. The median hospital costs presented a significant difference among each region, which were 2175.9, 2175.1, 2477.7, and 2282.4 dollars in each area, respectively. Each region showed a similar hospital cost proportion size order of cost components, which was Western medicine costs, other costs, diagnostic costs, and traditional medicine costs, in descending order. Male sex, diabetes mellitus, severe stroke symptoms, longer length of stay, admission to the intensive care unit, in-hospital complications of hemorrhage, and thrombectomy were independently associated with hospital costs in most regions.Conclusion: Hospital costs in different regions showed a similar proportion size order of components in China. Each region had different determinants of hospital costs, which reflected its current medical conditions and provided potential determinants for increasing medical efficiency according to each region's situation.

Introduction: Social isolation is a modifiable risk factor for negative health outcomes among older adults. This work assessed the relationship between geography (i.e., urban vs. non-urban residence) and social isolation in a cohort of older drivers.Methods: The AAA LongROAD cohort with 2,989 older adult drivers from across the country were included. Social isolation was measured at baseline and at two subsequent annual follow-ups using PROMIS v2.0 Social Isolation 4a. The effect of geographic location with social isolation was assessed through with multivariable regression using a generalized estimating equation model.Results: The rate of social isolation in urban areas was 21% lower (adjusted RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.46, 1.36) compared to non-urban areas after adjusting for covariates, though not significant.Discussion: Social isolation is a predictor of poor health outcomes and geographic considerations have been lacking in the literature. The panel data in this analysis provides more evidence for causality though the under-representation of non-urban areas potentially reduces the power for the results.Conclusions: It is important to understand the needs and risk of social isolation in various geographic settings to ensure resources and interventions are appropriately modified for a greater public health impact.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus risk-reduction interventions that include income-generating activities are garnering attention as effective strategies to engage adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) toward HIV risk reduction. To sustain and promote the uptake of these interventions, researchers must understand factors that may encourage or present barriers to AGYW participation in such interventions. This study explores AGYW perceived barriers and facilitators to participation in a school-based combination income-generating HIV prevention intervention in Nigeria.Methods: A convenience sample of AGYW who participated in a school-based combination income-generating HIV prevention intervention were recruited for the study. Data generated from focus group discussions (FGDs) (eight discussion groups comprising 10–12 participants) were analyzed by inductive thematic analysis.Results: A total of 93 participants with a mean age of 15.04 years (SD = 0.89) participated in the FGDs. The study participants identified several facilitators and barriers to participation in the intervention. Three main themes that emerged as facilitators were: (1) involvement of young female facilitators in the delivery of intervention components, (2) opportunity for social interaction with peers during the intervention period, and (3) support and approval from school authorities. Two main themes were also identified as barriers: (1) sexual conservatism from society and parents and (2) challenges in sustaining a microenterprise.Conclusions: Despite the perceived benefits and interest in participation in the intervention, the study participants outlined some challenges that may hinder participation in the intervention components. Addressing barriers, such as stigma associated with the discussion of sexual health-related topics, coupled with the promotion of facilitating factors, such as leveraging context-appropriate intervention delivery modalities, is important for enhancing the engagement of AGYW in HIV risk-reduction intervention. Our findings can guide future research and design of combination income-generating HIV prevention interventions for in-school AGYW in low-resource settings such as Nigeria.

Introduction: Dangerous behavior is considered an undesired trait, often attributed to poor training or bad-tempered horses. Unfortunately, horses with progressive signs of dangerous behavior are often euthanized due to concerns for rider safety and limitations in performance. However, this dangerous behavior may actually originate from chronic axial skeleton pain. This case series describes the medical histories and clinical presentations of horses presented for performance limitations and dangerous behavior judged to be related to intractable axial skeleton pain.Material and Methods: Fourteen horses that developed severe performance limitations resulting in euthanasia were included. A complete spinal examination and behavioral responses, gait and neurologic evaluations, diagnostic imaging, gross pathologic and histopathologic examinations of the axial skeleton were performed on all horses. A tentative diagnosis of the affected spinal region was formulated using medical records, owner and trainer complaints, and antemortem examination findings. The selected spinal regions were further examined with gross and histopathologic evaluations of the associated osseous, soft tissue and neural tissues.Results: Ten horses showed severe behavioral responses during the myofascial and mobilization examinations. Based on an aggregate evaluation, the cervicothoracic and lumbosacral regions were the most common regions believed to be the primary area of concern. All horses had moderate to severe ganglionitis present at multiple vertebral levels. Subdural and epidural hemorrhage or hematomas were a common finding (71%) in the cervicothoracic and lumbosacral regions.Discussion: In this case series, neuropathic (i.e., structural) pain was judged to be the underlying cause of dangerous behavior. The dorsal root ganglia (DRG) serve an important role in relaying peripheral sensory information to the central nervous system and ganglionitis has been associated with neuropathic pain syndromes. This series highlights the need for more in-depth understanding of pain behavior and its clinical presentation and progression in chronic or severely affected horses. Limitations of the study are the lack of age-matched control DRG and the incomplete collection of DRG from every vertebral level of interest.

We describe four different approaches for the detection of magnetospheric accretion among Herbig Ae/Be stars with accretion disks. Studies of several unique objects have been carried out. One of the objects is the Herbig Ae star HD 101412 with a comparatively strong magnetic field. The second is the early-type Herbig B6e star HD 259431. The existence of a magnetosphere in these objects was not recognized earlier. In both cases, a periodicity in the variation of some line parameters, originating near the region of the disk/star interaction, has been found. The third object is the young binary system HD 104237, hosting a Herbig Ae star and a T Tauri star. Based on the discovery of periodic variations of equivalent widths of atmospheric lines in the spectrum of the primary, we have concluded that the surface of the star is spotted. Comparing our result with an earlier one, we argue that these spots can be connected with the infall of material from the disk onto the stellar surface through a magnetosphere. The fourth example is the Herbig Ae/Be star HD 37806. Signatures of magnetospheric accretion in this object have been identified using a different method. They were inferred from the short-term variability of the He i λ5876 line profile forming in the region of the disk/star interaction.

The whistle: its factical and epistemological foundations
ABSTRACT
The research presented is of a qualitative nature, it was formulated as an objective of the research, to assess from critical reflection the relationship between the components of the syllabus and their relationship with the processes of training capacities or competencies, as well as the processes of appropriation of educational research that becomes an investigative culture of teacher training students that, in order to attend to the diversity of their culture, it is necessary to signify the importance of it in the development of intercultural learning. In the current structure, the components of the syllabus are systematically developed in their integrality, intellectuality and professionalism that aims to achieve the formation of intercultural investigative autonomy. The results or achievements reveal shortcomings and weaknesses in the educational model of the university since, even though it formulates the need to support actions for the consolidation of competencies, it only achieves the formulation of generic competencies for all professional fields.

Análisis del levantamiento indígena de 2019 en Ecuador: Entre la respuesta legal y el Lawfare
Authors: Luque Arturo , Poveda Moreno Carlos , Hernández Zubizarreta Juan 
Published: December 2021

La finalidad de este trabajo consiste en analizar buena parte de los sucesos ocurridos en Ecuador a lo largo de octubre de 2019 conocidos como levantamiento indígena. Para ello se realiza un análisis de los acontecimientos partiendo de su línea de tiempo, así como de su ulterior desenlace en base a diferentes procesos de lawfare ejercidos por los poderes públicos de Ecuador, irradiados por varios órganos supranacionales y sujetos de parte. Para ello, se busca comprender la cosmovisión andina, así como los derechos individuales y colectivos incluidos tanto en la legislación nacional e internacional buscando comprender términos transcendentales dentro de la Constitución ecuatoriana como la plurinacionalidad y la interculturalidad. Se examinan las acciones del Estado ecuatoriano junto a su posterior ataque jurídico contra los manifestantes, así como a diversos dirigentes políticos inculpados, todos ellos como facilitadores organizados que ejercen acciones de proselitismo en favor de las revueltas. Se evidencia que la guerra jurídica y mediática son un elemento más del poder dentro del tablero político que, ejercido en manos incorrectas, pone en tela de juicio los pilares de cualquier democracia.

El derecho a la movilidad humana en las políticas migratorias de américa latina en el siglo xxi: entre la regionalización y la (re) nacionalización de un problema público
Authors: Castro Trujillo Jhonny 
Published: December 2021

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito analizar las tensiones existentes en torno al derecho de la movilidad humana, como parte de los derechos humanos, en la política migratoria de América Latina, con énfasis en la región suramericana, para evidenciar la (re) nacionalización de los temas migratorios en el marco del fenómeno de la migración venezolana de la segunda década del siglo XXI. Para ello, se realiza un análisis documental de políticas públicas sobre las iniciativas de construcción de ciudadanía regional de los distintos esquemas de integración de la región, e igualmente se examinan las modificaciones legislativas realizadas en su momento por varios países, en lo que se conoce como la “excepcionalidad suramericana”, contrastándolo con la evidencia de una nueva tendencia en políticas migratorias a partir del año 2017, que coincide con la desarticulación de los mecanismos de integración regional. Los resultados muestran en primer lugar, la inexistencia de una agenda de política migratoria común en la región, y en segundo lugar, la tensión existente en la gobernanza migratoria de Suramérica, entre la herencia aperturista y pro derechos, y, la nueva tendencia de (re) nacionalización de los temas migratorios a través de políticas de contención del flujo, en el mejor de los casos, y de restricción, criminalización y politización de la migración en otros.

El derecho a la comunicación en la prensa ecuatoriana ¿logro o deuda pendiente? Caso de estudio: La cobertura informativa sobre manifestaciones en Venezuela y Ecuador 2019
Authors: Castañeda Suárez Ana Graciela 
Published: December 2021

Con el objetivo de verificar la garantía del Derecho a la comunicación en la prensa ecuatoriana, se analiza la forma en que el diario El Comercio reportó dos eventos de protesta contra dos gobiernos cuya relación con el Establishment, o el poder establecido, es opuesta: los gobiernos de Ecuador y Venezuela en el año 2019. Los resultados se comparan con lo previsto en el artículo 22 de la Ley Orgánica de Comunicación, en relación con la obligatoriedad que tiene la prensa de contrastar fuentes sobre el tema recogido y, seguidamente, se examinan a la luz del tercer filtro del Modelo de Propaganda desarrollado por Herman y Chomsky, referido a las fuentes de las noticias. Se concluye que existe un alejamiento de la garantía del Derecho a la comunicación y la necesidad de un modelo que distribuya la propiedad mediática de manera más equitativa que el actual, para diversificar las voces que forman parte de la discusión sobre los temas de importancia social, que permitan el ejercicio de una democracia bien informada y por lo tanto plena y legítima.

Abstract
In order to verify the guarantee of the Right to Communication in the Ecuadorian press, it examines how the newspaper El Comercio reported two protest events against two governments whose relationship with the Establishment, or the established power, is opposite: the governments of Ecuador and Venezuela in 2019. The results are compared with the provisions of Article 22 of the Organic Law on Communication, in relation to the obligation of the press to contrast sources on the subject collected and are then examined in the light of the third filter of the Propaganda Model developed by Herman and Chomsky, referring to the sources of the news. It is concluded that there is a departure from the guarantee of the Right to Communication and the need for a model that distributes media property more equitably than the current one, in order to diversify the voices that are part of the discussion on issues of social importance, which allow the exercise of a well-informed and therefore full and legitimate democracy.
