Effect of integrated reproductive health lesson materials in a problem-based pedagogy on soft skills for safe sexual behaviour among adolescents: A school-based randomized controlled trial in Tanzania
Authors: Millanzi Walter C. , Kibusi Stephen M. , Osaki Kalafunja M. 
Published: February 2022

BackgroundAdolescents are currently becoming sexually active before their 18th birthday during which they have to battle with unsafe sexual behaviours, teenage pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and school dropouts. The trend is linked with low soft skills (self-esteem and assertiveness skills) for them to make informed, reasoned, and responsible decisions over sexual activities. This study designed and tested the effect of integrated reproductive health (RH) lesson materials in a problem-based pedagogy (PBP) to enhance soft skills for safe sexual behaviour among adolescents in Tanzania.MethodsA double-blinded clustered randomized controlled trial was conducted between September 2019 and September 2020 among 660 randomly selected adolescents. A Sexual-risk Behaviour Beliefs and Self-esteem Scale adopted from previous studies measured soft skills for safe sexual behaviour. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed by using the statistical analysis software programme version 9.4. The effect of the intervention was determined using Linear Mixed Model set at α error probability = 5% significance level (95% confidence interval) and a β error probability = 0.80.FindingsAdolescents’ mean age was 15±1.869 with 57.5% females. The end-line findings indicated that the coefficient of soft skills was significantly higher among adolescents in the hybrid PBP (β=9.0986, p<0.01; 95%CI: 4.7772, 14.2311) and pure PBP (β =8.7114, p<0.01; 95%CI: 3.9990, 10.1208) than in the control group. The retention rate of soft skills was still significantly higher at 3-months follow-up (β=2.0044; p<0.01; 95%CI: 1.0234, 4.1182) and at 6-months follow-up (β=1.9803; p<0.01; 95%CI: 0.8399, 3.1099) compared to the baseline and immediate post-intervention assessments.ConclusionThe intervention substantially enhanced soft skills for safe sexual behaviour among adolescents of both sex. Despite the fact that scores for soft skills varied across the study timelines, adolescents demonstrated significant intentions to abstain from sexual intercourse, delay sexual relationships, negotiate condom use, and withstand sexual coercions. The PBP may need to be incorporated in ordinary level secondary school curricula as a formal guide to teachers and or health workers to optimally prepare adolescents for their healthy adulthood.

Background
In times of the global corona pandemic health care workers (HCWs) fight the disease at the frontline of healthcare services and are confronted with an exacerbated load of pandemic burden. Psychosocial resources are thought to buffer adverse effects of pandemic stressors on mental health. This rapid review summarizes evidence on the specific interplay of pandemic burden and psychosocial resources with regard to the mental health of HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal was to derive potential starting points for supportive interventions.

Methods
We conducted a rapid systematic review following the recommendations of the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group. We searched 7 databases in February 2021 and included peer-reviewed quantitative studies, that reported related data on pandemic stressors, psychosocial resources, and mental health of HCWs.

Results
46 reports were finally included in the review and reported data on all three outcomes at hand. Most studies (n = 41) applied a cross-sectional design. Our results suggest that there are several statistically significant pandemic risk factors for mental health problems in HCWs such as high risk and fear of infection, while resilience, active and emotion-focused coping strategies as well as social support can be considered beneficial when protecting different aspects of mental health in HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence for patterns of interaction between outcomes were found in the context of coping style when facing specific pandemic stressors.

Conclusions
Our results indicate that several psychosocial resources may play an important role in buffering adverse effects of pandemic burden on the mental health of HCWs in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, causal interpretations of mentioned associations are inadequate due to the overall low study quality and the dominance of cross-sectional study designs. Prospective longitudinal studies are required to elucidate the missing links.
A DIFICULDADE DE SUPERAÇÃO DO INDIVIDUALISMO NO ESTADO DEMOCRÁTICO DE DIREITO NO BRASIL
Authors: Bernieri João Luis , Bortoloti José Carlos Kraemer 
Published: February 2022

O Estado Democrático de Direito no Brasil veio sob os auspícios da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988, onde as forças se destinam assegurar os direitos sociais e individuais, a liberdade, segurança, bem-estar, o desenvolvimento, a igualdade e a justiça, tudo como valor supremo de uma sociedade fraterna. O presente trabalho articula debate com a dificuldade de superação do individualismo herdado pelo Estado de Direito liberal “pré 1988” e a possibilidade de emergência do princípio democrático “pós 1988” a partir da superação do individualismo, reconhecendo e efetivando os cidadãos em suas respectivas titularidades de direitos, consequentemente com o florescimento de oportunidades reais na vida das pessoas. Nesse entendimento, devendo existir um resgate do Estado Social no Brasil. O método de abordagem é o dialético, com a utilização de referências bibliográficas. Os elementos conclusivos indicam um modelo temporal permeado entre o Estado pré e o pós 1988, o qual acaba por criar um paradoxo deficitário para a vivência do Estado Democrático de Direito no Brasil, dando as características de que o novo continua forçosamente a utilizar as armaduras do velho. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Estado Social, Estado Democrático de Direito, Individualismo, Reconhecimento.

Published: February 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir, ancorado pelo princípio da vedação ao retrocesso em relação aos direitos individuais, a saber, a liberdade de locomoção, aumentando seu escopo para além dos direitos sociais. O toque de recolher no Brasil, República Checa, Estados Unidos e Alemanha são analisados a partir de suas peculiaridades, delimitando até onde o direito de locomoção pode ser restringido, achando o seu núcleo duro, bem como as razões de justificação que compreendem o ato estatal ou jurisdicional de instituir medidas restritiva de Direitos. No ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, a instituição de toque de recolher via decreto municipal e estadual violam a Legalidade vigente, sendo manifestadamente viciados e inconstitucionais tanto na sua forma quanto na sua materialidade. É imperativo que o princípio da vedação ao retrocesso seja incorporado, também, em relação aos direitos individuais, não apenas sociais, evitando, assim, a discricionariedade tanto administrativa quando jurisdicional. Artigo produzido fazendo uso do método dialético para demonstrar as diferentes formas de abordagem a qual o tema teve nos diferentes países.

Esther im neuaramäischen Dialekt des Turabdin: Sachau Syr. 247
Authors: Atas Nicolas 
Published: February 2022

Au 19ème siècle, E. Sachau se rendit en Syrie et en Mésopotamie où il rencontra des locuteurs de dialectes modernes de l'araméen. Il chargea ceux-ci d'écrire et de traduire un certain nombre de textes dans leurs dialectes. L'un deux, Ešaʿyo, traduisit pour lui plusieurs textes bibliques en néo-araméen turoyo, dont le livre d'Esther, à partir de la version syriaque Peshitta et de la traduction arabe des missionnaires protestants Smith et Van Dyck. Le présent article présente une editio princeps ainsi qu'une transcription raisonnée de ce texte et de nombreuses notes, au sujet de la Vorlage du traducteur. Bien que ce texte nous fournisse des informations sur le Turoyo du 19ème siècle, il faut rester prudent dans les conclusions qu'on pourrait en tirer car il s'agit d'une traduction pleine de syriacismes et d'arabismes.

The forms of consuming and making sense of the music heritage: The retro in popular music
Authors: Soylu Bağçeci Fulya 
Published: February 2022

The concept of the retro marketing which has an important role in commercializing the popular culture heritage is a strategy that constitutes the popular culture’s validity and continuity via the music productions evoking its periodic conditions. This strategy which is made up by means of the historical climate of the popular music, various music productions, artist or popular characters creates a kind of commercial meaning areas by utilizing the effect the music’s effect on the masses on the purpose of managing and directing these meanings inclusive of some various expectations. At this point, while the nostalgic meaning contents which trace to the life-world of the past have become the income materials, the dimension reflecting on the side of the audience is related to the world of the meaning based on the social, historical, cultural perspectives and popular culture. However, the semantic quality drawn attention here is reinterpreting the life conditions of the past with the modern-day perspective, producing and constructing the retrospective meaning with the modern-day current thought rather than the realities at the periods of time which indicate the past. In the study, it is focused on the music heritage which has passed from the repeated filter of the retro marketing concept, and the commercial, social and individual reflections of the retrospective thought forms that have occurred on the basis of music.

Özet
Popüler müzik mirasının ticarileştirilmesinde önemli bir rol oynayan retro pazarlama konsepti, popüler kültürün dönemsel koşullarını çağrıştıran müzik üretimleri üzerinden geçerliliğini ve sürekliliğini oluşturan bir stratejidir. Popüler müziğin tarihsel iklimi, çeşitli müzik üretimleri, sanatçı ya da popüler karakterler kanalıyla oluşturulan bu strateji, anlam üretme, bu anlamları çeşitli beklentiler dahilinde yönetme ve yönlendirme amacıyla müziğin kitleler üzerindeki etkisinden faydalanarak bir nevi ticari anlam sahaları yaratır. Bu noktada geçmişin yaşam dünyasına uzanan nostaljik anlam içerikleri ticari cephede birer rant malzemesi olurken dinleyici cephesine yansıyan boyut, toplumsal, tarihsel, kültürel perspektiflerle ve popüler kültüre dayalı anlam dünyasıyla bağlantılıdır. Ancak burada dikkat çekilen anlamsal nitelik, geçmişin yaşam koşullarını bugünün perspektifiyle yeniden yorumlamak ve geçmişe işaret eden zaman dilimlerindeki gerçekliklerden ziyade bugünün güncel düşüncesiyle geriye dönük anlam üretmek ve inşa etmektir. Çalışmada retro pazarlama konseptinin yinelenen süzgecinden geçen popüler müzik mirasına odaklanılmış ve müzik üzerinden oluşan geçmişe dönük düşünce biçimlerinin ticari, toplumsal ve bireysel yansımaları betimsel bir karakterle incelenmiştir.
A machine learning approach to identify hand actions from single-channel sEMG signals
Authors: Savithri Chanda Nagarajan , Priya Ebenezer , Rajasekar Kevin 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Surface Electromyographic (sEMG) signal is a prime source of information to activate prosthetic hand such that it is able to restore a few basic hand actions of amputee, making it suitable for rehabilitation. In this work, a non-invasive single channel sEMG amplifier is developed that captures sEMG signal for three typical hand actions from the lower elbow muscles of able bodied subjects and amputees. The recorded sEMG signal detrends and has frequencies other than active frequencies. The Empirical Mode Decomposition Detrending Fluctuation Analysis (EMD–DFA) is attempted to de-noise the sEMG signal. A feature vector is formed by extracting eight features in time domain, seven features each in spectral and wavelet domain. Prominent features are selected by Fuzzy Entropy Measure (FEM) to ease the computational complexity and reduce the recognition time of classification. Classification of different hand actions is attempted based on multi-class approach namely Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS–DA) to control the prosthetic hand. It is inferred that an accuracy of 89.72% & 84% is observed for the pointing action whereas the accuracy for closed fist is 81.2% & 79.54% while for spherical grasp it is 80.6% & 76% respectively for normal subjects and amputees. The performance of the classifier is compared with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and an improvement of 5% in mean accuracy is observed for both normal subjects and amputees. The mean accuracy for all the three different hand actions is significantly high (83.84% & 80.18%) when compared with LDA. The proposed work frame provides a fair mean accuracy in classifying the hand actions of amputees. This methodology thus appears to be useful in actuating the prosthetic hand.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
The sugar industry effluent (SIE) is characterized as high organic load. The aim of this study is to treat SIE by bio-aerobic process in batch and continuous mode in bio-aeration reactor. In batch process, effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) in terms of effluent fill volume, and in continuous process, effect of HRT in terms of effluent feed rate was studied. In batch process, HRT of 2.5 d (fill volume = 0.8 dm3) was found to be the best and in continuous process, HRT of 1.37 d (feed rate = 133 mL/h) was found to be the best. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction by bio oxidation followed first order kinetics with respect to COD and the rate constant (K) was evaluated as 5.197 d−1. The sludge yield coefficient (a) and sludge endogenous oxidation coefficient (b) were also evaluated from sludge formation studies, which are 0.4 (gm VSS produced/g COD removed) and 0.1 (g VSS oxidized/day. g MLVSS in the aeration basin), respectively. In continuous process, the COD reduction of 83.12% of 4800 mg/dm3 and BOD reduction of 88.70% of 1240 mg/dm3 were obtained at HRT = 1.37 d. The results of the experiments show the SBR process to be an effective process for the treatment of SIE.
Associations between diabetes-related distress and predicted cardiovascular complication risks in patients with type 2 diabetes
Authors: Young Clipper F. , Mullin Rachael , Moverley Joy A. , Shubrook Jay H. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract

Context
Diabetes-related distress (DRD) is experienced by nearly 50% of people with diabetes at any given time in their diagnosis. The effects of low socioeconomic status (SES) and lacking access to resources can increase DRD. In addition, cardiovascular (CV) complications associated with diabetes are associated with higher DRD scores.

Objectives
This study evaluated the associations between DRD and predicted CV risks in participants with type 2 diabetes.

Methods
This cross-sectional study included 234 individuals with low SES who were Medi-Cal (California version of Medicaid) beneficiaries and sought medical care at a safety-net clinic system. The Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaire assessed DRD levels. The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study Risk Engine was utilized to predict 10-year risks for coronary heart disease (CHD), fatal CHD, stroke, and fatal stroke. A multivariate linear regression model was constructed between the two variables, including other variables to control for potential confounding factors, for assessing the associations.

Results
After controlling for potential confounders, participants’ total PAID questionnaire scores were significantly associated with their 10-year predicted fatal CHD risks (B=0.060, 95% CI: [0.00084, 0.12], p=0.047).

Conclusions
After controlling for covariates, DRD levels exhibited a significant association with increased 10-year predicted fatal CHD risks in patients with type 2 diabetes and lower SES. Screening for DRD and provision of appropriate psychosocial interventions may reduce the risks of CHD in those with type 2 diabetes.
