Published: October 2019

Objective.Women with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have reported a higher rate of cesarean births than healthy controls. This study aimed to identify factors associated with cesarean births in women with AS.Methods.Based on the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service claims database, the subjects comprised female patients aged 20–49 years old with AS. In total, 1293 deliveries after AS diagnosis were included. A logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with cesarean births.Results.Among the 1293 deliveries in women with AS, 657 were cesarean and 636 were vaginal deliveries. Compared to vaginal delivery, the women who had cesarean deliveries were older, had a longer disease duration, and had a higher portion of primipara and dispensation of drugs. These factors were associated with a higher risk of cesarean delivery: maternal age (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.04–1.12), disease duration (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.03–1.14), and preeclampsia (OR 3.94, 95% CI 1.17–13.32). Further, compared to no drug dispensation, these drugs showed higher risks of cesarean delivery: nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID; OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.31–2.37), tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD), or corticosteroids (OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.57–2.58). In the subgroup analysis in primiparas, maternal age, or dispensation of NSAID alone, or TNFi, DMARD, or corticosteroids was associated with a higher risk of cesarean delivery.Conclusion.Women with AS showed a higher cesarean delivery rate, influenced by both maternal age and disease-related factors.
UNESCO’s Media and Information Literacy curriculum for teachers from the perspective of Structural Considerations of Information

Published: October 2019

The discipline Structural Considerations of Information explores the interests underlying communicational dynamics and information strategies, as well as the ways in which they correlate with messages. Considering this knowledge to be key in Communication Education, and having confirmed its close relationship with the dimensions of media competence, its presence is analyzed in the Media and Information Literacy (MIL) curriculum for teachers, whose training is crucial for the success of the process, developed by UNESCO, an organization that is a global referent in the field. A semantic content analysis reveals, from a quantitative perspective, a strong presence of thematic areas covered by the Structural Considerations of Information subject within the competencies and contents of the curriculum. However, at a qualitative level, there are fundamental weaknesses in its relationship with the structural approach to information. This occurs when the critical spirit of the text declines, starting with a definition of the media as sources of reliable information. The ubiquity of disinformation, and the key role played by stakeholders’ knowledge, as well as the development of critical thinking to address it requires an update of this curriculum–the present review contributes to this development– highlighting the current necessity to address it from a structural vantage that fosters critical citizenship and a democratic process.La disciplina Estructura de la Información estudia los intereses que subyacen a la dinámica comunicacional y a las estrategias de información, y su correlación con los mensajes. Considerando clave este conocimiento para la Educación en Comunicación, y una vez confirmada su estrecha relación con las dimensiones de la competencia mediática, se analiza su presencia en el currículo de Alfabetización Mediática e Informacional (AMI) del profesorado, cuya formación es crucial para el éxito del proceso elaborado por la UNESCO, órgano de referencia mundial en el área. El análisis de contenido semántico desvela, desde un punto de vista cuantitativo, la fuerte presencia de las áreas temáticas de la Estructura de la Información en las competencias y contenidos del currículo. No obstante, aplicado cualitativamente, se detectan debilidades de fondo en la relación con el enfoque estructural de la información. Ocurre cuando decae el declarado espíritu crítico del texto, empezando por definir a los medios como fuentes de información fiable. La ubicuidad de la desinformación y el papel crucial del conocimiento de los agentes envueltos en la misma y del desarrollo del pensamiento crítico para afrontarla, obliga a la actualización de este currículo –a cuyo desarrollo se contribuye con esta revisión–, haciendo, además, más necesario que nunca el afrontarla desde un enfoque estructural que favorezca una ciudadanía crítica y el proceso democrático.
Domestic Violence and the Nursing Curriculum: Tuning In and Tuning Up
Authors: Woodtli M Anne 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
Domestic violence is a major health, social, and criminal justice problem in the United States. Although not confined to women, it is a growing concern of women and those who care for women. Nurses are often the first health care provider with whom the battered woman and her family interact. Reports of several studies indicate educational preparation of nurses is inadequate to assure sensitive, quality, and effective nursing care to those who have survived domestic violence. One purpose of this qualitative study was to identify and describe the essential knowledge and skills needed by nurses to provide competent, sensitive care. Interviews were conducted with 13 informants who were considered experts in violence-related care. Their responses were analyzed for categories of response and themes related to their feelings about domestic violence and the essential knowledge and skills nurses need to provide appropriate care. Findings provide data that can form the empirical bases for review of current curriculum content and strategies, indicate needed revisions, and serve as a framework for future curriculum development.

Abstract. On 13 October 2017, the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument
(TROPOMI) was launched on the Copernicus Sentinel-5
Precursor satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit. One of the
mission's operational data products is the total column
concentration of carbon monoxide (CO), which was released
to the public in July 2018. The current TROPOMI CO
processing uses the HITRAN 2008 spectroscopic data with
updated water vapor spectroscopy and produces a CO data
product compliant with the mission requirement of 10 %
precision and 15 % accuracy for single soundings.
Comparison with ground-based CO observations of the Total
Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) show systematic
differences of about 6.2 ppb and single-orbit
observations are superimposed by a significant striping
pattern along the flight path exceeding 5 ppb. In this
study, we discuss possible improvements of the CO data
product. We found that the molecular spectroscopic data
used in the retrieval plays a key role for the data
quality where the use of the Scientific Exploitation of
Operational Missions – Improved Atmospheric Spectroscopy
Databases (SEOM-IAS) and the HITRAN 2012 and 2016 releases
reduce the bias between TROPOMI and TCCON due to improved
CH4 spectroscopy. SEOM-IAS achieves the best
spectral fit quality (root-mean-square, rms,
differences between the simulated and measured spectrum)
of 1.5×10-10 mol s−1 m−2 nm−1 sr−1 and reduces the bias between TROPOMI and TCCON to
3.4 ppb, while HITRAN 2012 and HITRAN 2016 decrease the
bias even further below 1 ppb. HITRAN 2012 shows the
worst fit quality (rms = 2.5×10-10 mol s−1 m−2 nm−1 sr−1) of the tested cross sections
and furthermore introduces an artificial bias of about
-1.5×1017 molec cm−2 between TROPOMI CO and
the CAMS-IFS model in the Tropics caused by the H2O
spectroscopic data. Moreover, analyzing 1 year of
TROPOMI CO observations, we identified increased striping
patterns by about 16 % percent from November 2017 to
November 2018. For that, we defined a measure γ,
quantifying the relative pixel-to-pixel variation in CO in the
cross-track and along-track directions.
To mitigate this effect, we discuss two
destriping methods applied to the CO data a posteriori.
A destriping mask calculated per orbit by median filtering
of the data in the cross-track direction significantly
reduced the stripe pattern from γ=2.1 to γ=1.6.
However,
the destriping can be further improved, achieving γ=1.2 by
deploying a Fourier analysis and filtering of the
data, which not only corrects for stripe patterns in the
cross-track direction but also accounts for the
variability of stripes along the flight path.
Modeling forest plantations for carbon uptake with the LPJmL dynamic global vegetation model

Published: October 2019

Abstract. We present an extension of the dynamic global vegetation model, Lund–Potsdam–Jena Managed Land (LPJmL), to
simulate planted forests intended for carbon (C) sequestration. We implemented three functional types to simulate plantation trees in temperate, tropical, and boreal climates. The parameters of these functional types were optimized to fit target growth curves (TGCs). These curves represent the evolution of stemwood C over time in typical productive plantations and were derived by combining field observations and LPJmL estimates for equivalent natural forests. While the calibrated model underestimates stemwood C growth rates compared to the TGCs, it represents substantial improvement over using natural forests to represent afforestation. Based on a simulation experiment in which we compared global natural forest versus global forest plantation, we found that forest plantations allow for much larger C uptake rates on the timescale of 100 years, with a maximum difference of a factor of 1.9, around 54 years. In subsequent simulations for an ambitious but realistic scenario in which 650 Mha (14 % of global managed land, 4.5 % of global land surface) are converted to forest over 85 years, we found that natural forests take up 37 PgC versus 48 PgC for forest plantations. Comparing these results to estimations of C sequestration required to achieve the 2 ∘C climate target, we conclude that afforestation can offer a substantial contribution to climate mitigation. Full evaluation of afforestation as a climate change mitigation strategy requires an integrated assessment which considers all relevant aspects, including costs, biodiversity, and trade-offs with other land-use types. Our extended version of LPJmL can contribute to such an assessment by providing improved estimates of C uptake rates by forest plantations.

Published: October 2019

Le Département de médecine générale de l’Université de Liège a élaboré un référentiel de compétences. L’objectif de cette étude est de connaitre les intentions des maitre·sse·s de stage quant à son utilisation. Afin de connaitre les éléments prédicteurs de cette intention, nous avons fait appel à la théorie du comportement planifié (Ajzen, 1985, 1991). Nous avons dès lors conçu un questionnaire mesurant de manière directe et indirecte les divers paramètres de ce modèle, à savoir les attitudes, les normes sociales et le contrôle perçu sur la base de sept entretiens avec des maitre·sse·s de stage. Ce questionnaire a ensuite été proposé à la population des maitre·sses de stage. Nous avons obtenu 68 réponses. Après avoir effectué des régressions linéaires hiérarchiques, nous avons conclu qu’ensemble, les attitudes, les normes sociales et le contrôle perçu expliquaient 83 % de l’intention d’utiliser le référentiel. D’autres analyses ont permis de déterminer les leviers et les freins influant directement sur cette intention.
« Boîte à lettres » et signatures : l’auctorialité partagée des femmes dans Awa
Authors: Ducournau Claire 
Published: October 2019

Cet article propose de revisiter Awa : la revue de la femme noire à travers le prisme du genre, par une étude des modalités de présence et de représentation des femmes et des hommes qui écrivent dans le mensuel de 1964 à 1973. Il convoque à cette fin deux paramètres du magazine dont il élucide les enjeux littéraires et sociaux : les signatures des articles, entre anonymat, patronymat, prénonymat et pseudonymat, d’une part ; les correspondant·e·s rendu·e·s visibles, notamment dans la rubrique « La boîte à lettres » qui leur est consacrée, d’autre part. L’auctorialité des femmes dans ce magazine apparaît alors partagée, avec les hommes et entre elles : alors que les contributeurs participent par leurs signatures, particulièrement de textes littéraires, à cautionner Awa tout en en surveillant les contenus, les rédactrices y sont beaucoup plus souvent anonymes ou insérées au sein de collectifs susceptibles de les rendre individuellement invisibles. En avançant masquées et groupées, elles proposent des modes d’émancipation plus pratiques que théoriques, toujours susceptibles de reconduire des hiérarchies genrées en une période où l’accès au statut et à l’autorité d’auteur·e est bien moins assuré pour les femmes que pour les hommes. Leurs stratégies d’écriture et leurs trajectoires sociales n’en révèlent pas moins l’existence, autour du périodique, d’un espace vivant de solidarité et d’inventivité vis-à-vis des normes de genre.
Africana womanism et homosexualité dans Crépuscule du tourment 1 de Léonora Miano
Authors: Ndi Etondi Vanessa 
Published: October 2019

Dans Crépuscule du tourment 1 de Léonora Miano, que ce soit dans le « Nord » ou sur le « Continent » subsaharien, l’Afropéenne Ixora lutte pour imposer sa triple marginalité : femme, noire, homosexuelle. Dans la démarche migratoire qu’elle accomplit pour offrir un avenir déracialisé à son fils, Ixora finit par trouver l’amour saphique sous le soleil homophobe des tropiques. L’article analyse la complexité de ce personnage à travers l’approche intersectionnelle de Clenora Hudson-Weems. Élaboré pour circonscrire les facteurs d’oppression de la femme noire, l’africana womanism dénonce successivement le racisme, le classisme et le sexisme. Si le parcours d’Ixora rejoint en partie la théorie de C. Hudson-Weems, il permet aussi de la dépasser et de proposer une image plus libre de la femme noire contemporaine.
Å etterprøve Wikipedia – kildekritiske muligheter for brukerne
Authors: Thaule Jimi 
Published: October 2019

Presentasjon frå Wikipedia-akademiet 2015
Det er nok ingen stor overdrivelse å si at Wikipedia i dag utgjør et svært viktig oppslagsverk, og at det i fremtiden bare vil bli viktigere. Wikipedias styrke ligger i at det lett kan oppdateres, utvides og at det bygger på et stort kollektivt potensiale i brukergruppen. Samtidig er det flere problemer knyttet til etterprøvbarheten. Den sammensatte brukergruppen har nok svært varierende kunnskaper og ferdigheter innen det å holde en viss faglig standard, hvorav bruk av referanser er et viktig element.
Fremveksten av digitale, ikke-statiske, kollektive oppslagsverk som Wikipedia er et vesentlig moment når man skal planlegge for fremtidens forskning og skolevesen. Økt tilgang på kilder, både eldre og nyere er et annet, som igjen påvirker det første gjennom å skaffe tilgang på kilder til amatører og entusiaster. I tillegg er det enklere enn noensinne tidligere å nå ut med sine meninger og originale tekster. (Blogger, Youtube, streamingtjenester, MOOCs, sosiale medier osv.)
Dette reflekteres i studiehverdagen, hvor digital kildebruk har bidratt til å «presse» frem mer undervisning i kildebruk og kildekritikk. Bruk av litteraturlister, presise kildehenvisninger og evnen til å vurdere kilder gjør at man også må stille krav til tekster man bruker som kilder. Blant annet ser vi dette reflektert i Læreplan for historie- og filosofi (UDIR 2006), og i tilknytning til kvalifikasjonsrammeverket for høyere utdanning (Regjeringen.no 2009). Begge disse legger vekt på evnen til å kritisk evaluere informasjon, evnen til å sanke inn informasjon og ferdigheter innen generell kildekritikk.
I kildekritisk sammenheng er etterettelighet et vesentlig spørsmål, og om man skal vurdere hvor godt Wikipedia generelt egner seg som kilde til god informasjon – spesielt i skolesammenheng, er det viktig å granske hvor etterrettlig informasjonen man finner der er.
Artikkelen berører ikke i hvilken grad informasjonen man finner på Wikipedia er god eller ikke, bare i hvilken grad den kan etterprøves gjennom bruk referanser.

Aims: We aimed in this study to investigate the mechanisms of the vasorelaxation effect caused by the anthocyanins-enriched extract of Odontonema strictum flowers.
Study Design: Anthocyanins-enriched extract of Odontonema strictum flowers and vasorelaxantes activities of mice aortic rings.
Place and Duration of Study: The flowers of Odontonema strictum (Nees) Kuntze (Acanthaceae) were collected in January 2015 at the “Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé (IRSS)” experimental station in Ouagadougou. The experiments were conducted in October - November 2018 at the department of Medicine and Traditional Pharmacopeia-Pharmacy (MEPHATRA-PH)/IRSS.
Methodology: The extract was enriched in anthocyanins using Amberlite XAD-7 non-ionic resin column. The vasorelaxant activity of anthocyanins-enriched extract of O. strictum flowers (OSF) was tested using isolated organ-chamber technique with mice aorta rings.
Results: OSF showed concentration-dependent relaxant effects on mice endothelium intact or denuded aortic rings pre-contracted with U46619 (10-7 M) and KCl (80 mM). OSF induced relaxation in the mice aortic rings by stimulating smooth muscle cells. The vasorelaxant effect of OSF (10-1000 µg/mL) was similar in endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings. The maximum relaxant effect was 93.78 ± 4.69% and 92.30 ± 3.19% for endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings, respectively. Moreover, after incubation of the aorta rings with OSF (400 µg/mL) or vehicle (0.02% of DMSO) in PSS, OSF blocked the contraction through mechanism involving inhibition of CaCl2 and U46619 effect.
Conclusions: The present study provides a pharmacological evidence for the antihypertensive medicinal use of Odontonema strictum by highlighting its vasorelaxant activity.
In vitro antitumor and immunotropic activity of carrageenans from red algae Chondrus armatus and their low‐molecular weight degradation products

Published: October 2019

AbstractAntitumor and immunotropic effects of κ‐, λ‐carrageenan from red marine algae Chondrus armatus and their low‐molecular weight (LMW) degradation products were explored. Effects on human esophageal cancer cell lines KYSE30 and FLO1 viability and ability to induce production of pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokines by human monocytes was assessed. All polysaccharides demonstrated antimetabolic and cytostatic activity towards cancer lines, with high‐molecular weight carrageenans possessing higher antimetabolic and lower cytostatic activity than their LMW degradation products. All carrageenans induced monocytes to produce pro‐inflammatory cytokines IL1β, IL6, IL18, and TNFα. However, secretion of anti‐inflammatory cytokine IL10 was induced only by LMW λ‐carrageenan, which exhibited the highest cytokine production inducing efficacy overall. We demonstrate that LMW carrageenan degradation products not only retain biological activity of their precursors, but also increase their efficacy in type‐dependent manner, allowing for their future development for pharmacological practice.
Comparison of impacts of intraseasonal oscillation on tropical cyclogenesis over the western North Pacific based on two methods
Authors: Cao Xi , Wu Renguang 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThe present study compares the relative contributions of intraseasonal variations of different environmental factors to the western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclone (TC) genesis during boreal summer–fall estimated using two methods. The first method is composite based on the phase of the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO). The second method is composite based on local and instantaneous TC genesis. The genesis potential index (GPI) is used as a measure for contributions of different factors to TC genesis. The two methods show consistently that the mid‐level relative humidity has a major contribution to and the absolute vorticity has a secondary effect on positive GPI anomalies in the active ISO phase. However, the two methods obtain different results during the inactive ISO phase. The composite based on the ISO phase obtains negative GPI anomalies, whereas the composite based on the TC genesis location obtains positive GPI anomalies in the regions where TCs are formed. The absolute vorticity and vertical wind shear have a nearly comparative contribution to positive GPI anomalies during the inactive ISO phase. This indicates that composite based on local and instantaneous perspective can better capture the actual environmental conditions that set up the background for TC genesis.
