Electrocoagulation as an Alternative for the Removal of Chromium (VI) in Solution
Authors: Tejada tovar Candelaria nahir , Villabona Ortíz Angel , Contreras Amaya Rafael 
Published: September 2021

Context: The contamination of water sources by the discharge of effluents contaminated with chromium (VI) is a current environmental problem because it is a toxic pollutant for humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms; it can be carcinogenic and has a high solubility in an aqueous environment. This research aims to study the electrochemical removal of hexavalent chromium by electrocoagulation using iron and aluminum electrodes with monopolar configuration, evaluating the effect of residence time, voltage, and the number of electrodes on the removal efficiency.
Methodology: The experiments were conducted in a 3L batch electrocoagulation cell, using 10 and 6 aluminum and stainless steel plates as electrodes, connected at a distance of 1.5 cm in a monopolar configuration in parallel to the power source. Contaminated solution with Cr (VI) was treated at a concentration of 50 mg/L, evaluating two levels of residence time (20 and 30 min), voltage (20 and 30 V), and the number of electrodes (6 and 10 electrodes).
Results: After the electrocoagulation removal tests, it was obtained removal percentages between 60.15 and 92.9%. The most significant positive variable in the process was the increase in the residence time. It can be inferred that electrocoagulation performs better at lower voltages and longer residence times and that the joint effect of the increase of the number of electrodes and the contact time would increase the performance of the process, achieving greater removal.
Conclusions: The process of reduction of chromium (VI) by electrocoagulation has the potential to be used for the cost-effective removal of heavy metals from water

Abstract

Objectives
In patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), a relationship between physical disability and pain has been observed. In addition a relationship between physical disability and cognition in MS has been suggested. However, cognitive functions and pain appear not to be correlated in MS patients. Therefore, we examined whether a possible relationship between pain and cognitive functioning may exist, and if so, if such a relationship is mediated by physical disability.

Methods
Forty-five MS patients with chronic pain, and in an advanced stage of the disease were included. Physical disabilities were assessed by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Episodic memory was assessed by means of the Eight Words test, and Face and Picture Recognition. Executive functions (EF) were examined by Digit Span Backward for working memory, and the Rule Shift Cards and Category Fluency test for cognitive flexibility. Pain Intensity and Pain Affect were assessed by means of visual analogue scales and one verbal pain scale and mood (depression, anxiety) by the Beck Depression Inventory and the Symptom Check List (SCL-90). The research questions were analyzed by means of regression analyses and the Sobel test for mediation.

Results
A significant relationship was found between Pain Affect and EF, but that relationship was not mediated by physical disabilities (EDSS). In addition, Pain Intensity and EF showed a significant relationship but only in combination with physical disabilities (EDSS). Finally, mood was related to pain affect.

Discussion
The findings suggest that the lower the EF, exclusively or in combination with more physical disabilities, the more the patient may suffer from pain.

Implications
The more one is cognitively and physically impaired, the more one might suffer from pain, and, the less one is able to communicate pain. The latter could put MS patients at risk for underdiagnosing and undertreatment of pain.

Published: September 2021

CONTEXTUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections in infants &lt;2 months of age. However, there are no clear guidelines on the appropriate duration of antibiotics in this age group.OBJECTIVEIn this living systematic review, we compared different durations of parenteral antibiotics (≤3 vs &gt;3 days) in neonates and young infants (&lt;2 months) with UTIs. The secondary objective was to compare different durations of total antibiotic courses (≤10 vs &gt;10 days).DATA SOURCESMEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Google Scholar, and gray literature, up to March 2, 2021.STUDY SELECTIONCitations were screened in triplicate by using a crowdsourcing methodology, to identify randomized controlled trials and observational studies.DATA EXTRACTIONData were extracted by 2 crowd members and verified by an expert investigator. Outcomes were pooled via random-effects models.RESULTSA total of 10 334 citations were screened, and 12 eligible studies were identified. A total of 59 of 3480 (1.7% [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3% to 2.2%]) infants had a UTI recurrence within 30 days after short parenteral treatment (≤3 days), and 47 of 1971 (2.4% [95% CI: 1.8% to 3.2%]) after longer courses. The pooled adjusted odds ratio for UTI recurrence with a short versus long duration of parenteral antibiotics was 1.02 (95% CI: 0.64 to 1.61; P = .95; n = 5451). A total of 5 studies assessed the risk of recurrence on the basis of the total duration of antibiotics (≤10 vs &gt;10 days) with no significant differences (pooled odds ratio: 1.29 [95% CI: 0.45 to 3.66; P = .63; n = 491).CONCLUSIONSOn the basis of retrospective studies and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation level low evidence, short and long duration of parenteral antibiotics were associated with a similar risk of UTI recurrence in infants &lt;2 months.

Authors: Kelly Erin Hayes , Miskimen Theresa , Rivera Florence , Peterson Laura E. , Hingle Susan Thompson 
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The Women’s Wellness through Equity and Leadership (WEL) program was developed as a collaboration between 6 major medical associations in the United States. The goal was to contribute to the creation of equitable work environments for women physicians. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the pilot implementation of WEL.

METHODS
Participants included a diverse group of 18 early career to midcareer women physicians from across medical specialties, 3 from each partner organization. WEL was developed as an 18-month program with 3 series focused on wellness, equity, and leadership and included monthly virtual and in-person meetings. After institutional board review approval, a mixed-methods evaluation design was incorporated, which included postseries and postprogram surveys and in-depth telephone interviews.

RESULTS
Participants delineated several drivers of program success, including peer support and/or networks; interconnectedness between the topics of wellness, equity, and leadership; and diversity of participants and faculty. Areas for improvement included more opportunities to connect with peers and share progress and more structured mentorship. Regarding program impact, participants reported increased knowledge and behavior change because of their participation.

CONCLUSIONS
This longitudinal, cohort initiative resulted from a successful collaboration between 6 medical associations. Evaluation findings suggest that providing opportunities for women physicians to connect with and support each other while building knowledge and skills can be an effective way to advance wellness, equity, and leadership for women in medicine.

Published: August 2021

AbstractAnimal blood is a by-product, which can be utilized in a value-adding way instead of being wasted. Allergen substitution is a good possibility especially for a substance that is difficult to substitute, such as milk. Blood plasma is a fluid with high protein content without blood (iron) taste and colour, so it is similar to milk in several ways. While investigating the substitution of milk, it is advisable to investigate the substitution of sugar as well because a lot of consumers who exclude milk from their diet find the glycaemic index and energy content of foods important. The investigated model food is a simple, homogeneous matrix: vanilla custard with milk and with and without sugar and vanilla custard with blood plasma and with and without sugar. Colour, pH and rheological attributes of custard sample groups were measured. According to the results the used protein source as well as sweetener significantly determine the colour, pH and texture of the final product. However, colour and pH are easy to change with other components (food colours, acidity regulators) and the effect of milk and sugar substitution on rheological attributes might not be possible to detect without instrumental analysis.

Authors: Sagitário Matheus Firmino , Coelho Patricia Margarida Farias 
Published: September 2021

A partir da implementação da BNCC em 2018, temos a presença da inteligência emocional no contexto da educação brasileira. Neste estudo consideramos, como hipótese, que o desenvolvimento da Inteligência Emocional auxilia os alunos e potencializa suas relações consigo e com o outro no mundo. Temos três objetivos, a saber: (i) apresentar o que é a inteligência emocional, (ii) verificar a importância da prática da Educação Emocional no desenvolvimento do aluno conforme as competências socioemocionais explicitadas na BNCC e (iii) discutir a implicação da Educação Emocional na prática. O que justifica essa escolha é o fato de que lidamos com inúmeros desafios e conflitos nas escolas, situações estas que ocorrem em sua maioria por falta de gerenciamento das emoções. O arcabouço teórico que sustenta este trabalho são os estudos de Pimenta (1997), de Bisquerra (2009) e de Goleman (2012) . A metodologia desse trabalho corresponde à bibliográfica, conforme aponta Gil (2002). O resultado alcançado nesta pesquisa foi o entendimento sobre a importância Inteligência Emocional e sua aplicação na educação, na formação de professores e nas práticas em sala de aula. Dessa forma evidenciamos que as competências socioemocionais, como apresentadas na BNCC, compreendem as mudanças do mundo contemporâneo e contextualizam com a realidade e as necessidades atuais dos alunos, visando o desenvolvimento integral do sujeito.

Election Manipulation on Social Networks: Seeding, Edge Removal, Edge Addition
Authors: Castiglioni Matteo , Ferraioli Diodato , Gatti Nicola , Landriani Giulia 
Published: August 2021

We focus on the election manipulation problem through social influence, where a manipulator exploits a social network to make her most preferred candidate win an election. Influence is due to information in favor of and/or against one or multiple candidates, sent by seeds and spreading through the network according to the independent cascade model. We provide a comprehensive theoretical study of the election control problem, investigating two forms of manipulations: seeding to buy influencers given a social network and removing or adding edges in the social network given the set of the seeds and the information sent. In particular, we study a wide range of cases distinguishing in the number of candidates or the kind of information spread over the network.
Our main result shows that the election manipulation problem is not affordable in the worst-case, even when one accepts to get an approximation of the optimal margin of victory, except for the case of seeding when the number of hard-to-manipulate voters is not too large, and the number of uncertain voters is not too small, where we say that a voter that does not vote for the manipulator's candidate is hard-to-manipulate if there is no way to make her vote for this candidate, and uncertain otherwise.
We also provide some results showing the hardness of the problems in special cases. More precisely, in the case of seeding, we show that the manipulation is hard even if the graph is a line and that a large class of algorithms, including most of the approaches recently adopted for social-influence problems (e.g., greedy, degree centrality, PageRank, VoteRank), fails to compute a bounded approximation even on elementary networks, such as undirected graphs with every node having a degree at most two or directed trees. In the case of edge removal or addition, our hardness results also apply to election manipulation when the manipulator has an unlimited budget, being allowed to remove or add an arbitrary number of edges, and to the basic case of social influence maximization/minimization in the restricted case of finite budget.
Interestingly, our hardness results for seeding and edge removal/addition still hold in a re-optimization variant, where the manipulator already knows an optimal solution to the problem and computes a new solution once a local modification occurs, e.g., the removal/addition of a single edge.

Introduction. Approximately 93.3 million Americans are obese (BMI>30) and 51% have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Progression of NAFLD can lead to Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), the leading cause of liver transplant in the United States. This study analyzed liver enzymes following bariatric surgery in NAFLD patients up to one-year post-surgical intervention.
Methods. A retrospective analysis of adults with NAFLD who underwent bariatric surgery from 2009 to 2016 was conducted. The primary outcome were transaminase levels following weight loss. Secondary outcomes included effects on blood glucose, lipids, and blood pressure.
Results. A total of 130 participants consisting of 80% Caucasian females with an average BMI of 47.5 participated in the study. Reductions were noted in ALT (66.2 to 28.6 units/L) and AST (46.3 to 24.2 units/L) at 1 year post-surgical intervention. Significant reductions were also noted in blood glucose (22.34%; p < .0001), HbA1c (17.11% p < .0001), LDL (19.75% p = .0046), total cholesterol (10.12% p = .0153), and triglycerides (37.21% p < .0001) with an increase in HDL (17.22% p = .0007). Significant correlations between alkaline phosphatase and ALT were noted at six months (p=.0101) and one year (p= .0547) and AST at six months (p=.0009). When separated by obesity class, participants with class II obesity experienced improved outcomes.
Conclusions. Data obtained from this study indicated that bariatric surgery reduces liver enzyme levels in NAFLD. These findings suggest that bariatric surgery is a viable treatment option for participants with NAFLD.
L’entretien « heuristique » en pratique éducative auprès d’enseignants
Authors: Vauthier Michaël , Verhille Luc , Guarino Alessio 
Published: August 2021

La rencontre du sujet dans le cadre de l’entretien pose des questions relatives à son déroulé et au sens de celui-ci. Quels sont ainsi les soubassements philosophiques, psychiques et physiques préexistant à une telle rencontre ? Comment créer du lien au cœur de cette rencontre ? Que ce soit dans le champ de l’éducation ou de la santé, l’intervenant invité à mener un entretien dans l’accompagnement de tout sujet -professionnel ou non-, n’a pas forcément à sa connaissance un dispositif simple et adapté pour la conduite de l’entretien. Dans cette contribution, nous interrogeons les atouts et les limites de en prenant appui sur une analyse qualitative et quantitative de plus de soixante-dix enseignants du premier degré placés en situation d’entretiens à visée heuristique et praxéologique. La description et l’analyse des effets de ce dispositif nous permettent d’en comprendre les modalités de mise en œuvre en contexte éducatif, tout en essayant de saisir l’essence même de la rencontre à visée émancipatrice. La portée de l’entretien heuristique est envisagée à travers l’amélioration du sentiment d’efficacité personnelle des enseignants, comme dans leurs capacités à mener à bien un entretien en situation professionnelle. Les résultats confirment l’une des finalités envisagées, à savoir celle de permettre l’alliance productive entre partenaires, au sein d’une pratique éducative en milieu scolaire et/ou en santé.
SKIZOFRENIA DALAM FILM JOKER (2019): SKIZOANALISIS PERSPEKTIF DELEUZE DAN GUATTARI
Authors: Andreas Rino 
Published: September 2021

<p>In medical-psychology, schizophrenia is defined as a severe psychotic disorder that causes its sufferers to experience hallucinations and chaotic behaviors. However, the paradigm of schizoanalysis considers schizophrenia as a system of thought that opposes the existence of established discourses (i.e. the Oedipus System). One form of schizophrenia can be seen in the Joker movie (2019). This research aims to identify the schizophrenia suffered by Arthur Fleck, the movie’s main character, from the schizoanalysis perspective as proposed by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. This qualitative research applied the interpretative description method based on the schizoanalysis perspective. This research found that the Joker character, as a schizophrenic, successfully reconstructs established ideas in his own ways solely through his desires. Joker unleashes his desires through practices presented as a form of resistance to the established system in Gotham City. This “madness” character was displayed by Arthur Fleck who opposes prevailing social values and norms, which he had previously imagined and questioned. However, he ends up destroying a greater system or order. Joker, as a progressive and revolutionary schizophrenic subject, clearly shows how a person can deconstruct the Oedipus to turn it into a counter-ammunition. Furthermore, the movie also shows that the broader “Joker movement” is disorganized as much as it is unplanned, spontaneous, and creative. Such spontaneity and creativity generates the flow of energy which stimulates those demonstrators to take a fight against capitalism. </p>
ONDEL-ONDEL: LOOKING FOR A THEORETICAL EXPLANATION

Published: September 2021

<p><em>Ondel-ondel</em>, initially believed to have fearsome characteristics and magical ability to ward evil spirits off, is still performed in various areas in Jakarta on particular occasions. <em>Ondel-ondel</em> was originally an ancient artwork named <em>barongan</em>. This research aims to seek a theoretical explanation of the <em>ondel</em>-<em>ondel</em> phenomenon by examining the relationship between the media and local culture. Several defining features of postmodernism are incorporated to reframe <em>ondel-ondel</em> as a form of entertainment, along with the interplay between the tradition and technology-assisted media. This paper seeks to reveal the actual meaning of <em>ondel-ondel</em> for locals and non-locals during their encounters with <em>ondel-ondel</em>. The research found (1) that<em> ondel-ondel</em> is an attempt to reinvent the way people seek entertainment in the face of changes brought about by modernity and (2) that the presence of<em> ondel-ondel</em> communicated in the virtual space generates digital traces in the form of messages contributing to the creation and the re-creation of <em>ondel-ondel</em> itself. </p>
„We will go through this TOGETHER!“ Bemerkungen zu Vulnerabilität und zum kompulsiven Resilienzvarieté in politischen COVID-19-Krankheitsnarrativen
Authors: Bonacchi Silvia , Warnke Ingo H. 
Published: September 2021

<p>In a first, tentative and explorative review, the paper discusses issues of resilience performance in socially addressed illness narratives in the context of political communication and self-representation. Using the examples of U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and their Covid-19 disorders, the paper explores forms of media self-representation as resilient politicians. In a critical reading, the gender-coded displays of vulnerability and masculine resilience are related to the performance of the supposedly normal. Taking Judith Butler as a reference point, the illness narratives of strength are interpreted as a defense against and fear of weakness and threat. In the conclusion, the initial observations are related to questions of new forms of authoritarianism, so-called soft authoritarianism. The article is intended as a sketch and as a preliminary consideration for a future systematic study of vulnerability, gender, and political communication. </p>
