Occupational Therapy Interventions to Improve Performance of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review
Authors: Hunter Elizabeth G. , Kearney Pamalyn J. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We examined the effectiveness of interventions within the scope of occupational therapy to improve the performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) for community-dwelling older adults.
METHOD. We searched and examined the literature (2008 through 2016) using four electronic databases. Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were critically appraised and synthesized.
RESULTS. Analysis revealed four thematic areas: cognitive, self-management, prevention, and home-based multidisciplinary rehabilitation interventions. Strong evidence supports the use of tailored, multidisciplinary, home-based care programs to support older adults to maintain IADL improvements over time and the use of cognitive interventions to improve memory, executive function, functional status, and everyday problem solving. In addition, strong evidence indicates that tailored home-based preventive sessions were beneficial to mediate functional disability and satisfaction with performance.
CONCLUSION. Evidence supports tailored interventions designed to enhance IADL performance. More studies are needed that focus on IADLs specifically and that use IADLs in their interventions.

Abstract. Global and regional models have large systematic errors in their modelled dust fields over West Africa. It is well established that cold-pool outflows from moist convection (haboobs) can raise over 50 % of the dust over parts of the Sahara and Sahel in summer, but parameterised moist convection tends to give a very poor representation of this in models. Here, we test the hypothesis that an explicit representation of convection in the Met Office Unified Model (UM) improves haboob winds and so may reduce errors in modelled dust fields. The results show that despite varying both grid spacing and the representation of convection there are only minor changes in dust aerosol optical depth (AOD) and dust mass loading fields between simulations. In all simulations there is an AOD deficit over the observed central Saharan dust maximum and a high bias in AOD along the west coast: both features are consistent with many climate (CMIP5) models. Cold-pool outflows are present in the explicit simulations and do raise dust. Consistent with this, there is an improved diurnal cycle in dust-generating winds with a seasonal peak in evening winds at locations with moist convection that is absent in simulations with parameterised convection. However, the explicit convection does not change the AOD field in the UM significantly for several reasons. Firstly, the increased windiness in the evening from haboobs is approximately balanced by a reduction in morning winds associated with the breakdown of the nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ). Secondly, although explicit convection increases the frequency of the strongest winds, they are still weaker than observed, especially close to the observed summertime Saharan dust maximum: this results from the fact that, although large mesoscale convective systems (and resultant cold pools) are generated, they have a lower frequency than observed and haboob winds are too weak. Finally, major impacts of the haboobs on winds occur over the Sahel, where, although dust uplift is known to occur in reality, uplift in the simulations is limited by a seasonally constant bare-soil fraction in the model, together with soil moisture and clay fractions which are too restrictive of dust emission in seasonally varying vegetated regions. For future studies, the results demonstrate (1) the improvements in behaviour produced by the explicit representation of convection, (2) the value of simultaneously evaluating both dust and winds and (3) the need to develop parameterisations of the land surface alongside those of dust-generating winds.
Seasonal streamflow forecasts for Europe – Part I: Hindcast verification with pseudo- and real observations

Published: June 2018

Abstract. Seasonal predictions of river flow can be exploited among others
to optimise hydropower energy generation, navigability of rivers and
irrigation management to decrease crop yield losses. This paper is the first
of two papers dealing with a physical model-based system built to produce
probabilistic seasonal hydrological forecasts, applied here to Europe. This
paper presents the development of the system and the evaluation of its skill.
The variable infiltration capacity (VIC) hydrological model is forced with
bias-corrected output of ECMWF's seasonal forecast system 4. For the
assessment of skill, we analysed hindcasts (1981–2010) against a reference
run, in which VIC was forced by gridded meteorological observations. The
reference run was also used to generate initial hydrological conditions for
the hindcasts. The skill in run-off and discharge hindcasts is analysed with monthly
temporal resolution, up to 7 months of lead time, for the entire annual
cycle. Using the reference run output as pseudo-observations and taking the
correlation coefficient as metric, hot spots of significant theoretical
skill in discharge and run-off were identified in Fennoscandia (from January
to October), the southern part of the Mediterranean (from June to August),
Poland, northern Germany, Romania and Bulgaria (mainly from November to
January), western France (from December to May) and the eastern side of
Great Britain (January to April). Generally, the skill decreases with
increasing lead time, except in spring in regions with snow-rich winters. In
some areas some skill persists even at the longest lead times (7 months). Theoretical skill was compared to actual skill as determined with real
discharge observations from 747 stations. Actual skill is generally
substantially less than theoretical skill. This effect is stronger for small
basins than for large basins. Qualitatively, the use of different skill metrics
(correlation coefficient; relative operating characteristics, ROC, area; and ranked probability skill score, RPSS) leads
to broadly similar spatio-temporal patterns of skill, but the level of skill
decreases, and the area of skill shrinks, in the following order:
correlation coefficient; ROC area below-normal (BN) tercile; ROC area
above-normal (AN) tercile; ranked probability skill score; and, finally, ROC near-normal
(NN) tercile.

Published: June 2018

O texto apresenta um relato das experiências vivenciadas pelos alunos de Estágio Supervisionado I (ES I) do curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Federal de Goiás, quando do desenvolvimento do Projeto de Intervenção Pedagógica em uma escola campo de Goiânia.. Foram propostas oficinas com o objetivo de construir de forma dialógica com os alunos da escola campo os caminhos que viessem a pavimentar a formação de uma identidade de gênero, visando à construção de um
ambiente escolar mais harmonioso e menos discriminatório. Foi possível constatar, com a execução deste projeto, que a discussão da temática deve ser recorrente no interior das instituições escolares, levando a
um processo de vigilância constante das práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas e do material didático empregado, com vista a não disseminar padrões homofóbicos, misóginos e sexistas. Afinal, a escola, na condição de instituição social voltada para a formação humana, deve fazer valer seu papel e mediar a discussão e reflexão crítica das questões de gênero e sexualidade.

Senegal is in a very favourable geographical position for sea fishing. Its coast has an upwelling favouring a good development of phytoplankton very appreciated by the various fish families that populate its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The little pelagic fish make up the majority of landings. The dynamics of this family of resources is very complex while its perfect mastery is essential for a fishing well controlled maritime. The mathematical models that exist in the literature have not address the different issues related to maritime fisheries and climate change in the Senegalese fishing areas. The linear programming model in integer numbers has been developed after calculation of equilibrium biomass, catches at equilibrium catchability by the application of Schaefer and Freon models in the Senegalese Economic Exclusive Zone. Two proposals have been developed to better explain the tools used in the writing of the mathematical model. The simulation results were led to the design of a linear integer Program (PLNE). The objective is to maximize the biomass of this family of fish resources on the Petite C\^ote, Grande C\^ote and Cape Verde depending on samples and climate change. In the application of the model, real data made it possible to test the Linear program in integer numbers obtained. This optimization study allowed us to find an effective way to maximize recruitment within this resource family. This consists in setting up several less expensive marine refuges to build in the fishing zones targeted by the study. The simulation computer program of the model is presented in the appendix.
Double Hopf Bifurcation of a Hematopoietic System with State Feedback Control
Authors: Ma Suqi 
Published: June 2018

The dynamics of a system composed of hematopoietic stem cells and its relationship with neutrophils is ubiquitous due to periodic oscillating behavior induce cyclical neutropenia. Underlying the methodology of state feedback control with two time delays, double Hopf bifurcation occurs as varying time delay to reach its threshold value. By applying center manifold theory, the analytical analysis of system exposed the different dynamical feature in the classified regimes near double Hopf point. The novel dynamics as periodical solution and quasi-periodical attractor coexistence phenomena are explored and verified by numerical simulation.

Low levels of morning salivary α-amylase activity predict higher number of depressive symptoms in a community sample of children

Published: June 2018

<p>Models of the etiology of depressive disorders suggest that the onset of a depressive episode is the result of a complex phenomenon based on the interaction between genetic background, critical environmental factors such as life stressors and traumatic events, and the effects of neuroendocrine changes associated with the stress response. Numerous studies have highlighted the usefulness of morning cortisol (C) as a potential predictor of depressive episodes. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of C, salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) activity/output, and the sAA/C ratio in predicting depressive symptoms in a community sample of 99 children aged 8-11 years old. Two saliva samples were obtained in the morning on two different school days. Teachers described their pupils' behavior by using the internalizing problems scales of the <em>Teacher’s Report Form</em> (TRF) questionnaire. Our results indicate that, regardless of gender, the best predictor of depressive/withdrawal scores and overall internalizing scores on the TRF was lower mean morning levels of sAA activity. Hence, sAA could be proposed as a biological marker for the risk of developing a first episode of depressive illness in child samples. </p>

Published: June 2018

La dépendance à Internet et aux jeux vidéo aurait un impact sur les performances académiques et la santé mentale. Un autoquestionnaire en ligne a été proposé à tous les étudiants en médecine de première année de l’Université de Namur (Belgique). Il s’agissait de questions d’ordre sociodémographique, de l’échelle de stress perçu PSS 14 (Perceived Stress Scale), de l’Internet Addiction Test (IAT), du Problem Video Game Playing (PVP) et de l’échelle de dépression MADRS (Montgomery and Asberg Depression Rating Scale). Notre méthodologie ne nous permet pas d’identifier des facteurs causaux, mais bien de mettre en lumière certains facteurs d’intérêt dans une population d’étudiants qui sera soumise lors de ses études et de sa future profession à l’utilisation intensive de ces technologies.
Selon l’IAT, 1 % des étudiants présentent une dépendance à Internet et 24,4 % ont un usage problématique occasionnel. D’après le PVP, 11,4 % des étudiants jouant à des jeux vidéo sont des joueurs problématiques. Les données révèlent par ailleurs des scores significativement plus élevés d’usage problématique d’Internet et des jeux vidéo parmi les étudiants stressés, parmi les étudiants déprimés et parmi ceux ayant de mauvais résultats académiques. Nous attirons l’attention sur le débat nécessaire entre l’utilisation raisonnée et l’utilisation problématique des nouvelles technologies ainsi que sur la nécessité d’une prévention longitudinale dès l’entrée aux études.
Study on the mechanism of SVOC adsorption onto airborne particles in indoor air
Authors: Kondo Kosuke , Kagi Naoki , Namiki Norikazu 
Published: June 2018

AbstractSemi‐volatile organic compounds (SVOC), such as di‐2‐ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), not only cause chemical sensitivity but can also trigger asthma. SVOCs are adsorbed onto airborne particles as well as gas‐phase molecules in indoor air, owing to their low vapor pressure. Therefore, 3 models are suggested to evaluate partitioning between the gaseous and particulate phases using data from previous studies. In this study, the characteristics of each model were extracted, and the mechanisms of DEHP adsorption onto test airborne particles were investigated under controlled temperature, airborne test particle concentration, and air exchange rate conditions in a chamber. The total DEHP concentration increased from 1.6 to 25.6 μg/m3 as the chamber temperature increased from 15 to 35°C. However, the particulate DEHP ratio φ decreased with the increase in temperature. The high airborne particle concentration caused an increase in the particulate DEHP concentration. Moreover, the estimates based on the Junge model corresponded well with the results of these experiments, whereas the Mackay and Pankow models overestimated the values of φ compared to the results of these experiments. These results indicate that particulate surface concentration is related to the DEHP adsorption mechanism onto airborne particles.

ObjectiveTo explore associations of joint hypermobility (a condition where range of motion is greater than normal) with ankle and foot radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) and symptoms in a large community‐based cohort of African American and white adults ages 55–94 years old.MethodsAnkle and foot radiographs and joint hypermobility data (Beighton score for joint hypermobility criteria) were available for 848 participants (from 2003 to 2010) in this cross‐sectional study. General joint hypermobility was defined as a Beighton score ≥4 (range 0–9); knee hypermobility was defined as hyperextension of at least 1 knee. Standing anteroposterior and lateral foot radiographs were read with standard atlases for Kellgren‐Lawrence grade, osteophytes, and joint space narrowing (JSN) at the tibiotalar joint, and for osteophytes and JSN to define OA at 5 foot joints. Ankle or foot symptoms were self‐reported. Separate person‐based logistic regression models were used to estimate associations of ankle and foot OA and symptom outcomes with hypermobility measures, adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, and history of ankle/foot injury.ResultsThis sample cohort included 577 women (68%) and 280 African Americans (33%). The mean age of the participants was 71 years, with a mean body mass index of 31 kg/m2. The general joint hypermobility of the participants was 7% and knee hypermobility was 4%. Having a history of ankle injury was 11.5%, and foot injury was 3.8%. Although general joint hypermobility was not associated with ankle and foot outcomes, knee hypermobility was associated with ankle symptoms, foot symptoms, and talonavicular OA (adjusted odds ratios of 4.4, 2.4, and 3.0, respectively).ConclusionKnee joint hypermobility may be related to talonavicular OA and to ankle and foot symptoms.
Direct Photopatterning of Solution–Processed Amorphous Indium Zinc Oxide and Zinc Tin Oxide Semiconductors—A Chimie Douce Molecular Precursor Approach to Thin Film Electronic Oxides

Published: June 2018

AbstractDirect photopatterning of indium zinc oxide (IZO) and zinc tin oxide (ZTO) semiconductors is realized using Schiff‐base complexes of indium, zinc, and tin(II) with methoxyiminopropionato ligands as precursors. These precursor complexes are stable under visible light, but they interestingly decompose in the UV region, thereby facilitating a site‐selective photopatterning and its subsequent conversion to the desired amorphous oxides. Thin film transistors (TFTs) with photopatterned IZO and ZTO layers exhibit high performance after post‐annealing at relatively low temperatures between 250 and 350 °C, with charge‐carrier mobilities (µsat) of 7.8 and 3.6 cm2 (V s)−1 for IZO and ZTO, respectively. The mechanism of the photodecomposition of the precursor films is studied by attenuated total reflectance–Infrared spectroscopy. Apart from the electrical characterization, the resultant UV‐patterned oxide thin films are characterized by transmission electron microscopy micrographs of focussed ion beam (FIB)‐prepared cross sections, atomic force microscopy, as well as Auger depth profiles. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigations elucidate the influence of surface hydroxylation on the TFT performance. The straightforward approach of facile precursor UV‐photopatterning demonstrates its potential feasibility as a low‐cost method toward integration of such solution–processed oxide films into large‐area electronics.
