Objectives: To determine the association of sleep with mental health among Hong Kong community-dwelling older men in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This additional analysis was derived from the community-dwelling men aged &gt;60 recruited during three COVID-19 outbreaks (i.e., pre-outbreak, between the second and third wave, and during the third wave) in Hong Kong from July 2019 to September 2020. Sleep and mental health were measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression models were performed for the associations between sleep and mental health after considering the outbreaks’ impact.Results: Subjects enrolled between the second and third wave tended to have better sleep but worse mental health. Positive associations between poor sleep and depression (AOR = 3.27, 95% CI: 1.60–7.03) and anxiety (AOR = 2.40, 95% CI: 1.07–5.76) were observed. The period “between second and third wave” was positively associated with depression (AOR = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.22–5.83), showing an additive interaction with poor sleep.Conclusion: The positive association between poor sleep and depression was aggravated by the period “between the second and third wave” among community-dwelling older males in Hong Kong.

Published: April 2022

CeO2/UiO-66-NH2 (marked as Ce/UN) composites were in-situ synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The properties, photocatalytic aspects, and degradation mechanism of Ce/UN were studied carefully. SEM results show that Ce/UN have a 3D flower-like structure, where octahedral UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles are embedded in the two-dimensional sheet of CeO2. TEM results demonstrate that CeO2 and UiO-66-NH2 are bonded interfacially to constitute a hetero-junction construction. Data obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy established that Ce/UN has less charge shift resistance and luminescence intensity than these of two pure substances. When the ratio of Ce/UN is 1:1, and the calcination temperature 400 °C is used, the degradation efficiency of RhB in photocatalysis by obtained Ce/UN is about 96%, which is much higher than in the case of CeO2 (4.5%) and UiO-66-NH2 (54%). The improved photocatalytic properties of Ce/UN may be due to the formation of hetero-junction, which is conducive for most photo-carriers and thus the interfacial charge shift efficiency is enhanced. By the free radical capture test, it can be inferred that the major active substances involved in the degradation related to photocatalysis is H+ and · O2−.

O artigo objetiva avaliar os PCNs e a BNCC identificando os avanços e retrocessos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva de abordagem documental realizada no site do Ministério da Educação. Fizeram parte do estudo três volumes dos PCNs e as três versões da BNCC. Verificou-se que os PCNS indicam que a educação ambiental nas escolas seja trabalhada como um tema transversal e não como uma disciplina e a BNCC defende esse tipo de abordagem de modo similar. Constatou-se que na BNCC a educação ambiental não possui visibilidade, como nos PCNs. Embora se reconheça o caráter não disciplinar da educação ambiental, pouco se concretizou de fato nas escolas e na formação dos professores para que seja garantida a qualidade deste ensino.

Authors: Aulia Haris Numan 
Published: April 2022

Beberapa impuritis yang terkandung dalam gas alam harus dibersihkan terlebih dahulu. Kontaminan yang paling banyak dijumpai yaitu gas hydrogen sulfida (H2S) dan gas karbondioksida (CO2). Gas H2S merupakan senyawa asam yang sangat berbahaya bagi kesehatan dan lingkungan sedangkan gas CO2 bisa memperkecil nilai kalor pada gas alam dan membuat korosi pada perpipaan sehingga harus dihilangkan. Proses absorpsi dengan memakai solven alkanolamine merupakan salah satu teknologi penghilangan gas H2S dan CO2 yang sering dipakai. Pada penelitian ini solven yang dikaji adalah metildietanolamina (MDEA). Pada simulator komersial seperti Aspen Hysys terdapat proses absorpsi kimia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu solven dan konsentrasi solven terhadap komposisi CO2/H2S serta loading CO2/H2S pada sweet gas. Penelitian ini memperlihatkan simulasi absorbsi gas CO2/H2S menggunakan solven MDEA. Semakin besar temperatur operasi maka loading CO2/ H2S makin besar tetapi komposisi CO2/ H2S di sweet gas makin rendah.
Dilemas éticos del diagnóstico genético prenatal no invasivo, utilizando la tecnología de ADN fetal libre en células: una valoración de los primeros diez años, desde su introducción en la práctica médica
Authors: Gallo Pasquale 
Published: April 2022

Antecedentes: En 2011 se introdujo en la práctica clínica la prueba de cribado no invasiva, basada en el análisis de ADN fetal libre en células (cf-ADN) en sangre de gestantes, revolucionado rápidamente el mundo del Diagnóstico Genético Prenatal (DGP). Método: Se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica para identificar los artículos publicados desde la introducción de esta prueba centrada en el cf-ADN y en las cuestiones éticas asociadas a ella. Resultados: Se encontraron 26 artículos. Las principales cuestiones éticas destacadas fueron: implicaciones para el consentimiento informado, aumento de la tasa de abortos, preocupación por la divulgación de hallazgos secundarios incidentales y prácticas discriminatorias para personas con enfermedades congénitas y discapacidad. Conclusión: Los tests cf-ADN deberían estar limitados a los casos estrictamente necesarios. Debe respetarse el derecho a tomar decisiones individuales, aunque sigue siendo más importante prevenir la discriminación, respetar la dignidad humana y evitar la difusión de una mentalidad eugenésica.

La mystique à l’épreuve de l’absence de Dieu dans le contexte de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le cas de Simone Weil et d’Etty Hillesum
Authors: Gillouard Pierre 
Published: April 2022

À partir de l’étude des écrits de Simone Weil et d’Etty Hillesum rédigés au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Pierre Gillouard entend cerner les caractéristiques d’un moment inédit de l’histoire de la mystique où l’expérience de la présence de Dieu est irréductiblement associée à l’épreuve de son absence dans les évènements de ce monde. Si ce lien entre l’expérience de l’absence et celle de la présence fait écho à l’image classique de la « nuit obscure » de Jean de la Croix, sa conceptualisation tant chez Simone Weil que chez Etty Hillesum révèlent deux traits émergents qui rompent avec la tradition mystique antérieure. D’une part, l’épreuve de l’absence n’est plus vécue comme une peine purifiante infligée par Dieu lui-même mais plutôt comme l’épreuve de la réalité contemporaine où Dieu est reconnu comme l’Absent par excellence. D’autre part, l’expérience de la présence ne met pas fin à celle de l’absence, de telle manière qu’on peut parler d’une concomitance de l’absence et de la présence de Dieu dans l’expérience mystique au xx e siècle.
« L’Amérique post-Trump » ?
Authors: Douzet Frédérick 
Published: April 2022

« L’Amérique post-Trump ». L’expression a fleuri au lendemain de l’investiture de Joe Biden comme président des États-Unis en janvier 2021 alors que le mandat de Donald Trump venait de s’achever par un épisode inédit de contestation des résultats de l’élection présidentielle par le président déchu. Un climat de violence inouïe concluait quatre années d’une présidence non conventionnelle et pleine de rebondissements sous la conduite d’une personnalité pour le moins atypique. Le vocable « post-Trump » est riche de représentations, mais aussi de questionnements. Il véhicule tout d’abord l’idée de rupture, celle de l’avant et de l’après-Trump. Donald Trump a été le révélateur d’un mouvement de fond qui le précédait, mais il en a aussi été le catalyseur, exacerbant tout au long de son mandat les fractures extra­ordinaires – raciales, sociales et territoriales – qui traversent la société américaine. C’est la deuxième question que soulève l’expression « post-Trump » : quelle a été l’influence réelle de son mandat sur le pays ? Et surtout, quels en seront les effets durables ? Ce numéro de la revue Hérodote distingue un certain nombre de phénomènes qui se sont intensifiés ou qui ont émergé sous sa présidence, au premier rang desquels l’aggravation de la polarisation politique.
Former en géographie en Anthropocène : le pari d’une expérience de « repolitisation »
Authors: Joublot-Ferré Sylvie 
Published: April 2022

En Anthropocène, quelles stratégies sont à développer pour favoriser la formation de citoyen.e.s autonomes et capables de participer aux décisions publiques ? L’article présente un dispositif spécifique, expérimenté en formation initiale d’enseignant.e.s, à la Haute École pédagogique de Lausanne, en Suisse romande. Ce dispositif articule enquête et expérience spatiale, au sein d’une démarche sensible et participative. Cette proposition didactique est évaluée, du point de vue de sa capacité à répondre aux attentes sociétales de « politisation » de l’enseignement en sciences sociales, notamment en géographie. Les enjeux épistémologiques mais également scolaires et didactiques, sont rappelés. La géographie de l’habiter est particulièrement mobilisée. L’analyse du dispositif, au prisme des apprentissages citoyen et politique, est appuyée par plusieurs références : la légitimation de l’éducation politique en Anthropocène, la pensée critique, la capacitation et l’expérience.
A hybrid approach towards movie recommendation system with collaborative filtering and association rule mining

Published: April 2022

There is a huge information stockpile available on the internet. But the available information still throws a stiff challenge to users while selecting the needed information. Such an issue can be solved by applying information filtering for locating the required information through a Recommender System. While using a RS, the users find it easy to curate and collect relevant information out of massive databanks. Though various types of RS are currently available, yet the RS developed by Collaborative Filtering techniques has proven to be the most suitable for many problems. Among the various Recommended Systems available, movie recommendation system is the most widely used one. In this system, the recommendations will be made based on the similarities in the characteristics as exhibited by users / items. The movie recommendation system contains a huge list of user objects and item objects. This paper combines Collaborative Filtering Technique with association rules mining for better compatibility and assurance while delivering better recommendations. Hence, in the process, the produced recommendations can be considered as strong recommendations. The hybridization involving both collaborative filtering and association rules mining can provide strong, high-quality recommendations, even when enough data is unavailable. This article combines various recommendations for creating a movie recommendation system by using common filtering techniques and data mining techniques
Implementing Quantitative Electroencephalogram Monitoring by Nurses in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Prendergast Erica , Mills Michele Grimason , Kurz Jonathan , Goldstein Joshua , Pardo Andrea C. 
Published: April 2022

Background
Nonconvulsive seizures occur frequently in pediatric intensive care unit patients and can be impossible to detect clinically without electroencephalogram monitoring. Quantitative electroencephalography uses mathematical signal analysis to compress data, monitoring trends over time. Nonneurologists can identify seizures with quantitative electroencephalography, but data on its use in the clinical setting are limited.

Local Problem
Bedside quantitative electroencephalography was implemented and nurses received education on its use for seizure detection. This quality improvement project aimed to describe the time between nurses’ recognition of electrographic seizures and seizure treatment.

Methods
Education was provided in phases over several months. Retrospective medical record review evaluated quantitative electroencephalograms and medication interventions from September 2019 through March 2020. A bedside form was used to measure nurses’ use of quantitative electroencephalograms, change recognition, clinician notification, and seizure treatment. A nurse survey evaluated the education after implementation.

Results
Data included 44 electroencephalograms from 30 pediatric intensive care unit patients aged 18 years or less with electroencephalogram monitoring durations of 4 hours or longer. Nurses monitored quantitative electroencephalograms in 73% of cases, documented at least 1 change in the quantitative electroencephalogram display in 28% of these cases, and contacted the neurocritical care team in 78% of cases in which they documented a change. Seizure treatment was initiated in response to the nursing call in 1 patient. Time to treatment was approximately 20 minutes.

Conclusions
An education program for quantitative electroencephalogram interpretation by nurse providers is feasible yet complex, requiring multiple reeducation cycles.
Reducing Ventilator-Associated Events: A Quality Improvement Project
Authors: Sherburne Laura M. , Poehler Jessica L. , Tietz Jolene M. 
Published: April 2022

Background
Mechanical ventilation is lifesaving therapy in intensive care units but can increase patients’ risk for ventilator-associated events. These events are associated with longer intensive care unit and hospital stays, more ventilator days, and increased mortality rates.

Local Problem
To meet internal and national benchmarks, the number of ventilator-associated events in a 15-bed intensive care unit needed to be decreased.

Methods
A multidisciplinary team used the define, measure, analyze, improve, and control framework in this quality improvement project at a community hospital. Evidence-based guidelines for preventing ventilator-associated events were incorporated into interventions, which included discussion of ventilator settings in daily rounds, additional evening rounds, and staff education. The team reinforced education, defined roles in the care of patients receiving mechanical ventilation, and implemented communication strategies between departments. Preimplementation data from the calendar year 2018 were compared with postimplementation data from the calendar year 2019.

Results
The ventilator-associated event incidence rate decreased from 25.58 per 1000 ventilator days in 2018 to 5.29 per 1000 ventilator days in the third quarter of 2019. The goal rate (≤ 18.00 events per 1000 ventilator days) was sustained for the year 2019.

Discussion
The lower rates of ventilator-associated events met internal and national benchmarks after the implementation of interventions. Safety was enhanced for patients who may have had unexpected outcomes related to a ventilator-associated event.

Conclusions
The creation and implementation of clear, specific communication and processes for successfully managing patients receiving mechanical ventilation decreased the rate of ventilator-associated events.
