Published: January 2023

Background: During the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, Iranian medical sciences students were at higher risk of contracting this virus because they were in infected environments. So, they are predisposed to high levels of anxiety that could worsen their lives. The determent of factors and levels of anxiety could be helpful to reduce anxiety and control its worse effects. Hence, this study aimed to measure the anxiety index and its factors among medical sciences students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, an online survey was sent to students from 27 medical sciences universities in Iran from 20th December 2020 to 10th March 2021. The online survey consists of the Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI) for measured general health anxiety as well as the baseline characteristics of students. Results: 723 students responded, including 483 (66.8%) females and mean HAI score was 16.76 Â± 8.35. Based on our findings, gender, past medical, and drug history were significantly related to the high level of anxiety. However, there was no coloration between HAI scores with age, the field of study, study duration, university location, and attendance in the hospital and/or COVID-19 ward (PËƒ0.05). Conclusions: Students with notable past medical history and/or drug history and female students more than others were predisposed to anxiety in a pandemic such as COVID-19. Hence, in a pandemic situation, psychological care should concern them.

In 2017 there were 48,300 HIV cases in Indonesia and 9,280 AIDS cases. The cumulative AIDS cases in 1987-2017 were 102,667 cases, with the number of AIDS infections in housewives reaching 14,721 cases. The development of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Indonesia since 2000 has continued to increase. Responding to these problems, it is necessary to prevent HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to find out what factors were related to HIV/AIDS prevention behavior in Jatijajar Village, the working area of the Bergas Health Center, Semarang Regency in 2019. This is a quantitative research with correlational design. Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling is applied. Chi-square test shows there are relationships between the variables of education level (p-value 0.006), knowledge (p-value 0.027), attitude (p-value 0.007), and husband's support (p-value 0.006) with HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. There is no relationship between age (p-value 0.616) and husband's occupation (p-value 0.161) with HIV/AIDS prevention behavior among housewives in Jatijajar Village in 2019. There are relationships between education level, knowledge, attitude, and husband's support with HIV/AIDS prevention behavior in housewives. The variables most related to the HIV/AIDS prevention behavior variable were the level of education and husband's support. Knowledge of housewives about HIV/AIDS prevention needs to be increased, one of which is through socialization by health centers and other institutions related to HIV/AIDS to create healthy housewives.

Authors: Kryskova L. P. , Pokotylo O. S. 
Published: January 2023

The study demonstrates the peculiarities of the fatty acid composition of oils and samples of mayonnaise prepared on the basis of these oils. The fatty acid profile of sunflower and linseed oil samples and control and experimental mayonnaise samples was investigated by gas-liquid chromatography. It was established that the ratio between PUFAs of the ω-9/ω-6/ω-3 families in the investigated sunflower oil samples is 177 : 553 : 1. This is due to the high content of linoleic and oleic acids. In the studied samples of linseed oil, the content of α-linolenic acid is 52 %, and the content of oleic (ω-9) and linoleic (ω-6) acids is 22.3 and 16.2%, respectively. Therefore, the ratio between ω-9/ω-6/ω-3 PUFAs in the studied samples of linseed oil is 1.4 : 1 : 3.2. It was established that mayonnaise (Control – K), which was prepared on refined sunflower oil with its content of 71.78 %, was characterized by a high content of PUFAs of the ω-6 family and a low content of PUFAs of the ω-3 family. The ratio of PUFAs of the ω-3, ω-6 and ω-9 families in this sample of mayonnaise is 1:13:7.3. In the sample of mayonnaise (Experiment – E) with a content of 35.03 % of sunflower and linseed oils, the total content of PUFAs of the ω-3 family is 24.0 %, which is 20.3 % more than in K. Such an increase in the content of PUFAs of the ω-3 family is due to the high content of α-linolenic acid – 23.1 %. The total content of PUFAs of the ω-6 family in mayonnaise E is 33.6 %, which is 16.04 % less than in sample K. The content of PUFAs of the ω-9 family in sample E is not significantly different from that in sample L. The ratio between the content PUFA of the ω-3/ω-6/ω-9 families in sample E is 1:1.4:1.1. Sample E of mayonnaise has a lower total content of saturated fatty acids, which was 14.88 %, compared to 18.26 % in sample K. Thus, replacing 50 % of sunflower oil with linseed oil in the manufacturing process of mayonnaise sample E gives a number of positive advantages compared to sample K, which contains only sunflower oil in its composition. Thus, the total content of PUFAs of the ω-6 family decreases, the total content of PUFAs of the ω-3 family increases, the ratio between the content of PUFAs of the ω-3 / ω-6 / ω-9 families is balanced, the content of saturated fatty acids decreases and, accordingly, the content of unsaturated fatty acids increases. The results of the analysis of the fatty acid composition of mayonnaise sample E allow recommending this emulsion oil-fat product as a functional product due to the high content of PUFAs of the ω-3 family and the balanced ratio between the content of PUFAs of the ω-3 / ω-6 / ω-9 families.
TINGKAH LAKU PELAJAR UNIVERSITI DALAM PENGGUNAAN, PERBELANJAAN DAN PELABURAN
Authors: Sieng Lai Wei , Suresh Preevetha 
Published: January 2023

Tingkah laku penggunaan, perbelanjaan, dan pelaburan dalam kalangan pelajar universiti sangat penting kerana di negara membangun seperti Malaysia, tingkah laku ini memainkan peranan penting sebagai pemangkin pertumbuhan dan pembangunan ekonomi. Penggunaan dan perbelanjaan mendorong pelaburan untuk mencetuskan pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Kurang kajian yang difokuskan kepada tingkah laku kewangan pelajar universiti dan kebanyakan kajian ini tidak dilakukan secara teori dan hanya tertumpu pada faktor tunggal. Oleh itu, kajian ini adalah untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut mengenai pelajar universiti dan untuk mengisi jurang pengetahuan mengenai tingkah laku perbelanjaan, simpanan dan pelaburan mereka. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif di mana data untuk kajian ini diperoleh melalui kaedah tinjauan yang disasarkan kepada pelajar sarjanamuda Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Sebanyak 300 set soal selidik telah diedarkan secara dalam talian. Hasil kajian mendapati rata-rata pelajar universiti menghabiskan lebih 30% daripada duit pembiayaan mereka. Kajian ini juga mendapati bahawa kebanyakan pelajar universiti yang melabur di pasaran saham adalah berisiko dan majoriti pelajar universiti tidak gemar melabur dalam pelaburan berisiko tinggi. Kajian ini mencadangkan bahawa kaedah komunikasi yang lebih baik antara pelajar universiti dan institusi kewangan atau bank melalui media dalam talian seperti melalui e-mel dan komunikasi media sosial adalah salah satu langkah untuk memupuk sikap pelaburan dan penyimpanan dalam kalangan pelajar universiti.
The Impact of Ombudsman Investigations on Public Administration: A Case Study and an Evaluation Guide

Published: January 2023

<p>[Executive Summary]: "It is not easy to evaluate the impact ombudsman have on the operations of a government or organization. While there are clear benefits for residents who have their problems solved, what are the benefits for the day-to-day operations and processes of a public service? </p>
<p>It is difficult to point to the money saved and efficiencies found by ombudsman work. A comprehensive review of English-language literature on the subject of evaluating ombudsman impact turned up very little. That is because the ombudsman’s work focuses on something that is inherently difficult to measure: fairness in the way that government treats its citizens. This study breaks new ground by establishing how the Toronto Ombudsman’s office has, in the past five years, led to a more efficient and responsive city administration. </p>
<p>Part I of this innovative project is an independent, in-depth, interview-based case study of the observed impacts of ombudsman investigations in the Toronto Public Service. Investigations are at the centre of ombudsman work: they involve complex and conflicting information, in-depth analytical work, and issues that often generate public interest and media attention. The investigations are frequently systemic or system-wide, allowing ombudsman to have a meaningful impact on many people at once. </p>
<p>This report provides ombudsman with a set of tools that can be used to evaluate the impact of their work. Part research report and part evaluation guide, this publication leads practitioners through an evaluation process with a particular focus on the impact of ombudsman investigations on public administration. </p>
<p>This has been a collaborative effort between researchers from Ryerson University and the Toronto Ombudsman’s office. It was funded with the help of a generous contribution from the International Ombudsman Institute. The work would not have been possible without the advice and guidance of an advisory group consisting of experts in the field from across North America."</p>
Who to inspect? Using employee complaint data to inform workplace inspections in Ontario
Authors: Noack Andie , Hoe Alice , Vosko Leah 
Published: January 2023

<p> </p>
<p>In Ontario, as in many other jurisdictions, employment standards enforcement includes reactively investigating employee complaints and, to a lesser extent, proactively inspecting workplaces. Analyses of administrative data from Ontario’s Ministry of Labour (MOL) show that the use of complaint data to inform workplace inspections is quite limited. Yet strict adherence to the MOLs procedures for workplace inspections is not conducive to the investigation of some of the empirically most common complaints. Accordingly, we argue for more strategic enforcement by making greater use of complaint data to guide workplace inspections triggered by complaints, and for the increased use of penalties in these inspections.</p>
Standardising public service: the experiences of call-centre workers in the Canadian federal government
Authors: Pupo Norene , Noack Andie 
Published: January 2023

<p>This paper explores the impact of the adoption of neoliberal economic policies and practices on public sector jobs within the Canadian Federal government. In recent years, employment in the public sector has been increasingly shifted to a call-centre format, thereby transforming the working conditions of public servants as well as access to services enjoyed by Canadians. By adopting work practices, technologies and managerial techniques usually found within the private sector, we argue that the call-centre format fundamentally transforms the notion of public ‘service’ from secure employment and a dynamic career to that of a routine, Taylorised job. In this process, standardised interactions redefine the notion of public service and the role of the public servant.</p>

Accionar desde Laboratoria Performativa: Una propuesta de artivismo
Authors: Ornelas Mónica 
Published: January 2023

La presente propuesta se desprende de mi participación como ponente en la emisión 2021 del Coloquio Arte, Imagen y Sonido realizado por el Centro de las Artes y la Cultura, y la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, particularmente en dos de las líneas temáticas entonces inscritas: Arte, Memoria(s) y Feminismos, y Cuerpo(s), afectividad y telepresencia, mismos que se corresponden con el aliento que dio origen al espacio autogestivo de creación – investigación – pedagogía denominado Laboratoria Peformativa.
Compartir pues, los propósitos fomentados en este espacio de encuentro sentipensante ligado al arte, es el objetivo de la propuesta, enfatizando para tal efecto los trabajos más recientes desprendidos del programa Corazonar desde la incertidumbre con el anhelo también, de dar a conocer el afán de contribución social que se persigue al asumir la responsabilidad que implica nuestra cooperación en el bienestar colectivo; de aquí la noción de artivismo acuñada para acompañarle.
Debido a la diversidad de proyectos realizados bajo el sello de Laboratoria Performativa y la imposibilidad de atenderlos dadas las características del actual texto, se invita a consultarlos en la página web: https://www.monicaornelas.com.mx/laboratoria-performativa.html
risa entre Rosi Braidotti y Un útero es del tamaño de un puño de Angélica Freitas: apuntes desde una lectura cruzada
Authors: Rodríguez Ruiz Adriana 
Published: January 2023

El presente ensayo pretende realizar un ejercicio de lectura cruzada entre el poemario Un útero es del tamaño de un puño de la poeta brasileña Angélica Freitas, y la filósofa italo-australiana Rosi Braidotti, particularmente de fragmentos que aparecen en su libro Feminismo, diferencia sexual y subjetividad nómade; haciendo énfasis en las nociones de cuerpo y sujeto, pero, sobre todo, el papel que juega la risa según Braidotti y su uso y efectos en la literatura de Freitas.
Para este acercamiento lector se pretende como metodología el uso de la literatura comparada, buscando puntos comunes, de convergencia o asociación. Más que un análisis literario, este trabajo tiene como objetivo la relectura de Un útero es del tamaño de un puño, mediante la aproximación a los procesos en que se construyen o deconstruyen en la poesía de Angélica Freitas aspectos materiales y simbólicos desde la corporalidad, tales como la representación de la feminidad, la clase, la raza o el estándar de belleza, para identificar puentes posibles entre el texto poético y el texto teórico. Principalmente, hace referencia al humor y a la risa como recursos escriturales subversivos para el pensamiento crítico y el agenciamiento de sujetos políticos, así como a la necesidad de un ejercicio de autocrítica que incluya al humor en el pensamiento feminista como hace hincapié Rosi Braidotti. Es importante mencionar que el conjunto de apreciaciones que se generan a partir de la comparación tiene que ver con las rutas lectoras de la propia autora de este ensayo, por lo que el carácter subjetivo, aunque no por ello menos riguroso, está presente.
Se trata de un trabajo no conclusivo, sino detonador del diálogo para ir formando, a través de dichos puentes, una serie de conexiones que nos permitan relacionar las interrogantes entre diversas pensadoras y su abordaje en la escritura desde sus propios géneros literarios.

Authors: Hosseini Mehrab Alireza , Amirfakhrian Seyedmahdi , Esfahani M. Reza 
Published: January 2023

The size effect on flexural properties and fracture behavior of polypropylene fiber-reinforced engineered cementitious composite (PPFECC) containing local waste materials was investigated. Geometrically similar notched beams with dimensions of 190 × 70 × 70 mm (small), 380 × 70 × 140 mm (medium), and 760 × 70 × 280 mm (large) were tested using three-point bending to study the size effect on flexural properties, toughness, and fracture behavior in PPFECC and the influence of tensile ductility of PPFECC on the size effect parameter. Two PPFECC mixtures containing 1% (PPFECC1) and 2% (PPFECC2) volume fraction of polypropylene fibers were prepared. The results indicated clear size effect on ductility, flexural strength, normalized deflection, normalized toughness, and fracture energy for both PPFECCs. The flexural properties and fracture behavior in PPFECC1 were more sensitive to the size effect parameter due to its lower tensile ductility compared to PPFECC2. Moreover, according to Bažant’s size effect curve, the behavior of notched beams in PPFECC2 with higher tensile ductility was closer to the strength criterion compared to PPFECC1.
