Social position and economic system justification in Canada: Implications for advancing health equity and social justice from an exploratory study of factors shaping economic system justification
Authors: Card Kiffer G. , Hepburn Kirk 
Published: October 2022

ObjectiveMany socio-economic reforms that could reduce health disparities are not implemented because people justify existing systems and fear changes thereto. This study aimed to identify socio-demographic factors associated with system justifying beliefs to better understand how they are maintained in Canada. In doing so, we hypothesized that (1) systems justification is a default cognitive position, buttressed by the palliative benefits of system-justification, (2) lack of success in a given system generally motivates people to doubt the legitimacy of that system, and (3) system-justifying beliefs are rejected only when the costs of doing so are low enough and/or the benefits are high enough to outweigh the innate needs-fulfillment benefits of system-justification.MethodsTesting these hypotheses, we recruited participants living in Canada, aged 16+, to complete an online survey after being recruitedviapaid social media advertisements. Multivariable regression models identified factors associated with Economic System Justification Scale (ESJS) scores. Explanatory variables included demographic measures of social position, self-rated health, and patterns of social inclusion.ResultsAmong 2,619 participants, system-justifying beliefs were wide-spread, with the average level of support across ESJS scale items exceeding 50%. Lower ESJS scores were associated with worse health, more loneliness, and lower socioeconomic status. Despite the pattern that marginalization erodes system-justification, several historically marginalized characteristics (e.g., non-white ethnicity and non-binary gender) were associated with relatively high system-justification, compared to matching privileged characteristics (e.g., white ethnicity; masculine gender).ConclusionSupporting our hypotheses, we identify a general trend that social marginalization is associated with less system-justification. Those benefitting from the status quo (e.g., healthier, wealthier, less lonely) were more likely to hold system-justifying beliefs. However, some groups who are disadvantaged within the existing system reported higher system-justification—suggesting that system oppression may be a key moderator of the effect of social position on system justification.

BackgroundThe public's irrational use of antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) is prevalent worldwide. This study aims to synthesize evidence on how people use antibiotics to treat URTIs, its prevalence and determinants.MethodsA mixed methods systematic review was conducted using a convergent segregated approach. Relevant studies were searched from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science. A qualitative analysis was initiated, exploring the public's antibiotic use experience for URTIS based on the Consumer Behavior Model (CBM). This was followed by a quantitative synthesis, tapping into the prevalence and predictors of public behavior in antibiotic usage for URTIs. The segregated syntheses complemented each other and were further integrated.ResultsA total of 86 studies were included: 48 quantitative, 30 qualitative, eight mixed methods studies. The included studies were conducted in Europe (n = 29), Asia (n = 27) and North America (n = 21), assessing the behaviors of patients (n = 46), their parents or caregivers (n = 31), or both (n = 9). Eleven themes emerged covering the six CBM stages: need recognition, information searching, alternative evaluation, antibiotic obtaining, antibiotic consumption, and post-consumption evaluation. The six stages reinforce each other, forming a vicious cycle. The high prevalence of the public's irrational use of antibiotics for URTIs is evident despite the high heterogeneity of the studies (ranging from 0.0 to 92.7%). The perceived seriousness of illness and misbelief in antibiotics were identified consistently across the studies as the major motivation driving the public's irrational use of antibiotics for URTIs. However, individual capacity (e.g., knowledge) and opportunity (e.g., contextual restriction) in reducing antibiotic use have mixed effect.ConclusionSystemic interventions concerning both supply and demand sides are warranted. The public needs to be educated about the appropriate management of URTIs and health care providers need to re-shape public attitudes toward antibiotic use for URTIs through communication and prescribing practices.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, identifier: CRD42021266407.

BackgroundThe ideal crystalloid fluid of choice for fluid therapy during liver transplantation is unknown. Conventional balanced crystalloids are buffered with organic anions, which requires liver metabolism to prevent matabolic acidosis and protect renal function. Therefore they can not function properly during liver transplantation. On the contrary, the bicarbonated Ringer's solution (BRS) can maintain acid-base status regardless of liver function. In this study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that, in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation, compared with acetated Ringer's solutions (ARS), perioperative fluid therapy with BRS could better maintain the acid-base status.MethodsThis is a prospective, single-centre, randomised controlled trial. 72 eligible patients will be randomised to receive either BRS or ARS perioperatively. The primary endpoint is the difference in standard base excess (SBE) before and after operation. Secondary endpoints include the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) within 48 h post operation and free and alive days to day 14 for intensive care admission, invasive ventilation, vasopressors, and renal replacement therapy (RRT).DiscussionMetabolic acidosis is common perioperatively, potentially leading to decreased renal blood flow and reduced glomerular filtration rate. The use of balanced solutions can prevent hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, thereby avoiding AKI in some patients. However, during liver transplantation, when well-functioning liver metabolism is lacking, the organic anions in conventional balanced solutions may remain strong anions and thus fail to maintain the acid-base status, but no solid clinical evidence exists now. This study will, for the first time, provide evidence on the relative effects of BRS vs. ARS on acid-base status and renal injury in patients undergoing liver transplantation.Clinical Trial RegistrationThe trial has been registered at the Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR2100046889) on 29 May 2021.

Published: October 2022

BackgroundIn recent years, the rapid development of digestive endoscopy technology has brought revolutionary changes to endoscopic therapy. A growing number of articles have been published annually. We aimed to explore global scientific outputs and hotspots of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) published by different countries, organizations, and authors.MethodsWe extracted relevant publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) on June 23, 2022. We examined the retrieved data by bibliometric analysis (e.g., cocited and cluster analysis, keyword co-occurrence) using the software CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyze and predict the trends and hot spots in this field.ResultsA total of 2,695 papers were finally identified. The results showed that the number of articles fluctuated with the year and reached its peak in 2021. NATIONAL CANCER CENTER JAPAN was the most influential institution. MICHAEL J BOURKE and YUTAKA SAITO are two of the most prolific scholars. ENDOSCOPY and GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPY were the most productive journals. “Early gastric cancer” and “Barrett's esophagus” were the focus of EMR research. “Adverse events”, “cold snare polypectomy” and “outcomes” have become increasingly popular in recent years and could become hot spots in the future.ConclusionIn this study, we summarized the characteristics of the publications; identified the most influential countries, institutions, and journals; and identified the leading topics in the EMR field.

Published: October 2022

Recently, permeable concrete has been considered one of the "Best Management Practices" in rainwater collection and cleaning. The outstanding properties of this type of concrete are its relatively high porosity (typically 15 ÷ 30% in volume) and the linking/connection of the internal pore system resulting in high waterpermeability and retention. However, one of the limitations to the widespread application of this eco-friendly material is the decrease of permeable capacity over time due to the clogging materials and the lack of regular maintenance. This paper performs an experimental approach for manufacturing permeable concrete that has both high water permeability and meets the strength requirement (1). At the same time, the influence of clogging sand and typical maintenance methods on the infiltration rate of permeable or pervious concrete is presented (2). Based on the literature review and obtained experimental results in this study, maintenance measures to ensure the required permeability for urban surface structures and sustainable surface waterdrainage are also proposed (3).

By using a cross-sectional study, this study aimed to determine the ratio of occupational stress, stress levels and the relationship between stress status and social characteristics of the sample, factors at work, as well as howsecondary school teachers respond to stress in Tra Cu District, Tra Vinh Province. The study conducted a survey to investigate 466 teachers currently teaching at 14 secondary schools in Tra Cu District, Tra Vinh Province, from May 2020 to June 2020. Research results showed that the percentage of teachers who suffered mild stressand severe stress was 18.9% and 8.1%, respectively. The signs of stress in teachers correlated with several factors such as job demand, work control and ways of coping at work. When the average score of the assessment “job demand” or “work control” increased by one point, the rate of stress on teachers was reduced by 23% (95% CI: 0.73 – 0.81) and 12% (95% CI: 0.84 – 0.93) respectively. By contrast, the average score of “confrontation” increased by one point leading to 3.21 times higher (95% CI: 2.61 – 3.96) possibility of causing stress. As well as the average score of "avoidance" increased by one point, the possibility of causing stress in teachers increased 3.03 times (95% CI: 2.45 – 3.74). The findings showed that mental health problems inteachers at secondary schools, in general and in Tra Cu District, Tra Vinh Province in particular, had not received sufficient attention. Therefore, the problems should be taken seriously not only by teachers school administration.

FEEDING HABITS OF SOLDIER CROAKER Dendrophysa russelii (Cuvier, 1829) DISTRIBUTED IN COASTAL AREAS OF THE MEKONG DELTA, VIETNAM
Authors: Mai Viet Van 
Published: October 2022

This study researched the feeding habits of soldier croaker Dendrophysa russelii (Cuvier,1829) distributed in coastal areas of the Mekong Delta from May to December, 2021. Fish samples were randomly collected in different sizes by trawl-net. Fish stomachs were fixed in a 4% formalin solution to prevent contents in the stomach from being digested. The results showed that soldier croaker had a small mouth, the teeth on the jaw were short and pointed with no canine tooth, the gill rakers were sparse, the stomach was pouch-shaped, the caeca have 4-8 tubes, and the intestine was short. Relative between gut length and body length (RLG) < 1 indicated that soldier croaker is a carnivorous fish. The food spectrum of immature fish was narrower thanthat of mature fish. However, the feed ingredient was shrimp which always accounts for the highestpercentage in the two fish size groups, followed by fish and other foods that accounted for a low proportion.

PT Putra Buana Membangun berkomitmen untuk memberikan pelayanan, kualitas dan kepuasan terbaik kepada pelanggan, serta berpartisipasi dalam pembangunan Republik Indonesia. Pengangkatan karyawan kontrak menjadi karyawan tetap pada PT Putra Buana Membangun saat ini masih menggunakan cara manual, seperti pengisian nilai, rekap hasil kinerja pekerjaan dan lain sebagainya. Dalam prosesnya setiap bagian produksi dipimpin oleh seseorang yang bertanggung jawab dalam pengangkatan karyawan. Pimpinan produksi akan membuat hasil akhir dari setiap tahap pengangkatan karyawan kemudian akan dibuat arsip dan diserahkan kebagian pusat yang selanjutnya akan diproses untuk mendapatkan keputusan karyawan menjadi karyawan tetap. Cara ini membutuhkan waktu dan ketelitian, sehingga kemungkinan besar kesalahan dalam hasil akhir dari pengangkatan karyawan sering terjadi karena tidak memenuhi kriteria yang dibutuhkan perusahaan. Metode perbandingan indeks (MPE) adalah metode sistem pendukung keputusan (DSS) yang digunakan untuk menentukan urutan prioritas dari alternatif keputusan dengan beberapa kriteria. MPE sangat cocok untuk penilaian berurutan (misalnya, sangat baik, sangat baik, sangat buruk, sangat buruk). Keuntungan dari metode perbandingan eksponensial adalah mengurangi kemungkinan penyimpangan dalam analisis. Nilai skor yang menggambarkan urutan prioritas menjadi lebih besar (fungsi eksponensial), yang mengarah pada urutan prioritas yang lebih realistis untuk keputusan alternatifPT Putra Buana, algoritma, Metode Perbandingan Eksponensial (MPE), Sistem Pendukung Keputusan (SPK)

Published: October 2022

La percepción del riesgo de contraer o sufrir las consecuencias del COVID-19, es una variable predictora de conductas protectoras de riesgo a la salud. Sin embargo, se reconoce la ausencia de instrumentos que permitan medir la percepción del riesgo hacia COVID-19 en población mexicana, así como, que reporten sus propiedades psicométricas. Debido a lo anterior, se tiene como objetivo diseñar y validar un instrumento de percepción del riesgo hacia COVID-19. Se diseñaron dos escalas que miden la percepción de probabilidad de contraer COVID-19 y la percepción de gravedad que pudieran sufrir por COVID-19. Se abordó una muestra de 952 sujetos, 59.2% mujeres y 40.8% hombres, con una media de edad de 24.29; se aplicó el instrumento diseñado, se analizó a través del modelo Rasch y posteriormente se llevaron a cabo modelos de medida para confirmar la estructura unidimensional de cada escala. Se obtuvieron valores de INFIT y OUTFIT adecuados para cada reactivo, así como índices de ajustes idóneos y aceptables en los modelos de medida. Se reconoce así que ambas escalas son confiables y válidas para la medición de la percepción del riesgo hacia COVID-19 en población mexicana, a reserva de la posterior corroboración de la estructura factorial en futuros estudios.

ABSTRACT
Actually, it is not the test or measurement itself that determines the fate of students, but the interpretation of the measurement results and the measurement tools. Based on the same information, different people will give different interpretations. It is these various interpretations that must be avoided because they will be dangerous for students. It is the same if the information provided is wrong because the wrong test was used or the measurement applied was wrong. From this it can be seen how important a test is in the world of education. Thus, we cannot ignore the manufacture of a test or how to measure it, how it is administered, or how to interpret it. What is the test planning procedure, What should be considered in test planning, What are the steps in the preparation of the test.
The essence of conducting testing is actually an effort to explore information that can be used as a basis for decision making. In the preparation of test planning, it is necessary to pay attention to the learning outcome test so that it can clearly measure learning outcomes. Besides that, the test should also be used as a tool to find useful information to improve student learning methods and how to teach teachers themselves. In planning the test, a grid is needed so that the objective test to be written does not deviate from the material that has been taught during the learning process and also serves as a guideline for the writer in writing each item.
