Authors: Huang Hsiang-Han , Chang Ching-Hao , Tsai Wan-Ying , Chu Yu-Wen , Lin Min-Ching , Chen Chia-Ling 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Importance: A child’s independent mobility, environments, and mastery motivation are critical factors during early development.
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of ride-on car (ROC) training with a standing (ROC–Stand) or a sitting posture (ROC–Sit) in enhancing children’s mastery motivation and decreasing parenting stress levels.
Design: Randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a multiple pretest–posttest design.
Setting: Hospital-based environment in northern Taiwan.
Participants: Thirty-nine children with disabilities ages 1 to 3 yr were randomly assigned to ROC–Stand (n = 16), ROC–Sit (n = 12), or conventional therapy (control; n = 11). All groups received 2-hr training sessions two times a week for 12 wk and then a 12-wk follow-up period that involved only regular therapy.
Measures: Assessments included the Revised Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire–Chinese version and the Parenting Stress Index.
Results: All groups showed significant changes in social persistence with adults, mastery pleasure, and general competence after the intervention. The two ROC training groups showed a significantly greater decrease in parenting stress than the control group. In addition, increased general competence of the ROC–Stand group also strongly correlated with decreased parent–child dysfunctional interaction.
Conclusions and Relevance: This RCT verifies the effectiveness of ROC training and offers a novel approach to increase children’s mastery motivation and decrease parenting stress.
What This Article Adds: Providing a large amount of active, exploratory experiences with goal-directed, moderately challenging tasks and cooperation with caregivers may result in the greatest benefits to young children with motor disabilities.

Published: March 2022

This study assessed the risks level associated with implementation of sustainable construction practices through a questionnaire survey distributed to 256 building professionals in Nigeria. It identified 47 risk factors with different likelihood of occurrence and magnitude of impacts. A quantitative risk analysis result based on mean value method and risk prioritisation number showed that the three top-ranked risk factors with highest likelihood of occurrence were unavailability of sustainable materials and equipment, more complex and unfamiliar construction techniques and processes, and high initial sustainable construction costs; whereas the three top-ranked risk factors with highest magnitude of impacts were high initial sustainable construction costs, poor and inefficient communication among project participants, and high cost of sustainable materials and equipment. The criticality index result identified 23 critical risk factors which mostly related to knowledge and awareness, cost, regulatory framework, building materials and socioeconomic issues. However, the Wilcoxon Signed-rank test result indicated that there is significant difference (z = -3.207, p<0.001) between the likelihood of occurrence and magnitude of impacts of the risks factors associated with implementation of sustainable construction practices in Nigeria of which the effect was moderate (r = 0.468). Furthermore, the study revealed that there is no significance difference in the risk level of the risk factors associated with implementation of sustainable construction practices based on the respondents’ roles (p>0.05). The study, therefore, recommended for training of construction practitioners in the multi-risk management approaches and increasing awareness through education on sustainable construction concept for building industry stakeholders. It further recommended for developing of new sustainable and affordable building materials through research institutes like Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI) with appropriate regulatory and policy frameworks for successful sustainable building projects.
Mujeres y mercado de trabajo: efectos de la covid-19
Authors: Mejía Ramírez Amílcar 
Published: March 2022

La crisis económica derivada de la pandemia por COVID-19, ha afectado el desempeño de la actividad productiva a escala mundial, provocando reducción del comercio internacional, bajo crecimiento económico, cierre de negocios y la adopción de nuevas formas de trabajo a distancia; sin embargo, sus efectos no se limitan a la esfera económica, sino que se han trasladado al mercado de trabajo. La crisis económica ha afectado el mercado de trabajo, produciendo efectos como incrementos en la desocupación (personas que no tienen empleos) y la inactividad (personas que no participan en el mercado de trabajo), donde esta última se caracteriza por la salida de personas trabajadoras del ámbito laboral; además, las economías de países en desarrollo con altos índices de subocupación (ocupaciones que pagan bajos salarios y subutilizan el recurso humano) e informalidad (ocupaciones que no se rigen bajo los marcos legales y de seguridad social), pueden atraer a contingentes de personas a incrementar sus filas, como una posible solución para la generación de ingresos. Desde ese escenario, uno de los principales grupos poblacionales afectados han sido las mujeres, especialmente por la precarización de sus condiciones laborales, provocando su movilización laboral hacia la inactividad, desocupación, subocupación o informalidad; siendo estas últimas opciones, consideradas como parte del desmejoramiento de su bienestar individual y familiar, así como su ingreso hacia un entorno de pobreza.

From sandcastles to bridges: how can we help forecasters to deal with uncertainties?
Authors: Sivle Anders Doksæter , Jeuring Jelmer , Finstad Svehagen Mai-Linn 
Published: March 2022

Abstract. At MET Norway, a small interdisciplinary team - the Sandbox - spends part of their working hours trying to improve the communication between the meteorologists and their audience. In this article we invite the reader to
join us on a journey along the Sandbox process during 2021. The focus of our work that year was on the communication of forecast uncertainty. We share what we have been working on throughout the (mostly virtual) sessions, and how we achieved a set of tools, recommendations, and a knowledge repository for forecasters to consult during their operational duty. The Sandbox story is aimed to inspire others in the meteorological community to explore the potential of creative interdisciplinary work as a method to bridge gaps between research, operational practice, and user uptake.
A muographic study of a scoria cone from 11 directions using nuclear emulsion cloud chambers
Authors: Miyamoto Seigo , Nagahara Shogo , Morishima Kunihiro , Nakano Toshiyuki , Koyama Masato , Suzuki Yusuke 
Published: March 2022

Abstract. One of the key challenges for muographic studies is to reveal the detailed
3D density structure of a volcano by increasing the number of observation
directions. 3D density imaging by multi-directional muography requires that
the individual differences in the performance of the installed muon
detectors are small and that the results from each detector can be derived
without any bias in the data analysis. Here we describe a pilot muographic
study of the Izu–Omuroyama scoria cone in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, from
11 directions, using a new nuclear emulsion detector design optimized for
quick installation in the field. We describe the details of the data
analysis and present a validation of the results. The Izu–Omuroyama scoria cone is an ideal target for the first
multi-directional muographic study, given its expected internal density
structure and the topography around the cone. We optimized the design of the
nuclear emulsion detector for rapid installation at multiple observation
sites in the field, and installed these at 11 sites around the volcano. The
images in the developed emulsion films were digitized into segmented tracks
with a high-speed automated readout system. The muon tracks in each emulsion
detector were then reconstructed. After the track selection, including
straightness filtering, the detection efficiency of the muons was estimated.
Finally, the density distributions in 2D angular space were derived for each
observation site by using a muon flux and attenuation models. The observed muon flux was compared with the expected value in the free sky,
and is 88 % ± 4 % in the forward direction and 92 % ± 2 % in the backward direction. The density values were validated by
comparison with the values obtained from gravity measurements, and are
broadly consistent, except for one site. The excess density at this one site
may indicate that the density inside the cone is non-axisymmetric, which is
consistent with a previous geological study.
APPLICATION OF MIXED-METHODS RESEARCH IN PAKISTAN: EMERGING ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Authors: Syed Asad Abbas Rizvi, Nadira Dayo, Jai Parkash  
Published: March 2022

Mixed-methods research (MMR) is considered as most influential research since the 1990s. In recent years (2010 and onwards), there has been a growing tendency to conduct educational research using Mixed-Methods Research (MMR) worldwide. This study was designed to investigate the issues and challenges associated with the application of mixed-method research in higher education institutes. The objectives of the study were i)to find out the perceptions of faculty members regarding the application of mixed-method, ii) to find out the issues faced by faculty members in the application of Mixed-Methods research, and iii) to find out the challenges faced by faculty members regarding the application of Mxed-Methods Research. Concurrent triangulation design of mixed method was used as the design of the study. The population of the study comprises all faculty members and research students of five public sector universities. Using purposive sampling, 62 faculty members from departments of education of five public sector universities using mixed-method research were selected as samples. A tailor-made questionnaire and an interview were used as data collection tools. The percentage was used to analyze the quantitatce data, while thematic analysis was done for analysis of interview data. The study's findings revealed that faculty members have serious issues about the understanding of mixed-methods research like not being aware of the concerns related to internal and external validity, and limited expertise in data mixing and interpretation of mixed data. It was also found that faculty members faced many challenges, including an understanding of the term Mixed-Methods and triangulation, improper training, and less academic and professional support provided to faculty members. Besides, the most crucial challenge was the unavailability of previous research on this pattern to use as a model. Based on these findings, it is recommended that appropriate training might be provided to faculty members, and mixed-method research courses should be included in teachers’ training programs.

Jump in Elective Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Numbers at Age 65 Years: Evidence for Moral Hazard?
Authors: Rankin Kelsey A. , Freedman Isaac G. , Moore Harold G. , Halperin Scott J. , Rubin Lee E. , Grauer Jonathan N. 
Published: March 2022

Introduction:
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) are outstanding options for many older patients at the discretion of the patient and the surgeon. As patients turn 65 years, greater than 98% of the US population becomes eligible for Medicare, and this represents a time of changing healthcare coverage for many.

Methods:
Patients undergoing elective TKA and THA were abstracted from the 2012 to 2018 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Incidences of TKA and THA (combined and separate) were plotted and assessed by age. To assess factors associated with who “delayed” surgery until 65 years, demographic and preoperative characteristics, and postoperative adverse events were compared for the 2 years above and the 2 years below the 65-year-old mark with multivariate analysis. Significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:
In total, 515,139 TKA and THA patients were identified (62.04% TKA and 37.95% THA). When the number of procedures was plotted by age, a discontinuity in the bell-shaped curve was noted at age 65 years. Highlighting this finding, the changes in percent population between 63 and 64 years was −1.52%, between 64 and 65 years was +15.36%, and between 65 and 66 years was −2.32%. Relative to those who were 63 and 64 years (n = 36,511), those who were 65 and 66 years (n = 41,671) were more likely to be female, be non-Hispanic White, have a lower body mass index, and have a lower functional status but were not different in the preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists class.

Conclusion:
In this large national sample, there was a clear step increase in undergoing TKA or THA once patients reached the age of 65 years (Medicare eligibility). This discontinuity in the bell-shaped curve may be evidence for a moral hazard in healthcare markets. Although factors in decision-making were not assessed, there were demographic factors associated with this step finding.
Transatlantic Relations Among Radical Republican Circles During the Age of Revolutions: The Centrality of Women
Authors: Bernardo Luiz  
Published: March 2022

Migratory movements between the two shores of the Atlantic have been of great relevance, both due to their quantity and their heterogeneity, from the moment these territories came into contact. The constant flow of people, as well as goods and ideas in this oceanic environment, caused that in the second half of the 18th century the English and American republican circles strengthened their ties, with some women as notable activists. The English writer Catharine Macaulay (1731-1791), in addition to writing about the crucial events of the moment, crossed the ocean with the desire to be close and experience them in the first person. On the other hand, due to common interests, she maintained an intense epistolary relationship for more than twenty years with the American writer Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814). Despite the limitations that they found in primarily male areas, such as history and politics, the contribution of these women was not limited to the expected support, but their concerns were reflected in some important writings for the Republican cause. Despite this and paradoxically, these revolutionary movements did not bring about significant changes in the situation and the rights of women.
Card games: daily resistance in Rute (Córdoba) in the second half of the 18th century
Authors: Clavio Sanchez  
Published: March 2022

In the Provincial Historical Archive of Cordoba has recently registered the transfer of a documentary section of civil justice from Rute. The value of the information referring to quotidian life in this village is extraordinary and among the multiple practices described as crime we have selected the card games for the interest of the interrelation norm-practice-representations, the participation of all social groups, the exhibition in public and private spaces, etc. The result is a polyhedral mosaic in which fun, transgressions and quotidian resistances are intertwined in a town in movement, and in which the illustrated reformist dispositions become blurred by the pulse between leisure and legislation.
Comparative analysis of the Spanish and French versions of the treaty called "Family Pact" of 1761
Authors: Luis Mangini  
Published: March 2022

This paper offers a comparative analysis of the Spanish and French versions of the Pacte de Famille of 1761, where the mutual military alliance of both crowns of Spain and France are reinforced. The main object of this study aims, firstly, the compared linguistic analysis of this historical document; and secondly, to conclude if it is possible to differentiate a Source Text (ST) and a Target Text (TT). This question is not clarified in the Collection of 1796. Once the political and institutional instrument has been introduced, we proceed to study its structure, specially the organization of its articles. Then, both versions are analyzed from lexical-semantic, syntactic and pragmalinguistic levels. The final conclusions will collect the reflections and reasons about the possible translation, adaptation or parallel writing.

Published: March 2022

Gereja adalah tubuh Kristus yang telah ditebus oleh-Nya. Karya penebusan dikerjakan dimulai dari inkarnasi Kristus. Inkarnasi Kristus tidak hanya memberikan kepastian keselamatan bagi yang percaya kepada-Nya. Akan tetapi prinsip-prinsip penerapan inkarnasi dapat menjadi teladan bagi gereja-Nya yang multikultural untuk menjaga kebersamaan agar menjadi berkat bagi dunia melalui kesaksian kehidupan dan pemberitaan gereja. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian yang bersumber dari kepustakaan melalui dokumen-dokumen yang berkaitan, buku-buku Tafsiran Alkitab buku-buku teologi, artikel ataupun berita-berita yang terkait. Dalam karya inkarnasi Kristus terdapat beberapa prinsip yang perlu diterapkan dalam gereja yang multikultural yaitu prinsip pelayanan kasih, solidaritas, transformasi dan soteriologis. Dengan adanya penerapan prinsip-prinsip ini dapat mencegah pertikaian gereja dan menjaga kebersamaan dan kerjasama untuk mewujudkan misi Tuhan di tengah dunia ini. Prinsip-prinsip yang terdapat dalam karya inkarnasi Kristus yang saya sebut dengan etik gereja di Indonesia.
