title: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ*) into Brazilian Portuguese

description: Abstract Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea is a frequent entity in childhood that can lead to important consequences for the health and children's quality of live. Polysomnography is the gold-standard exam to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea, but it is expensive, complex, and poorly affordable in Brazil. The pediatric sleep questionnaire has shown to be a valuable screening test for obstructive sleep apnea. It is a simple questionnaire with good sensitivity and specificity compared to polysomnography in the countries where it has been validated. Objective Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ), into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods The translation of the PSQ into Brazilian Portuguese was carried out in accordance with good practices. The validated and adapted questionnaire was applied to parents/caregivers of 60 children (40 of them with obstructive sleep apnea and 20 controls) aged 2-18 years. Retest was applied to 30 children with obstructive sleep apnea. The following tests were performed: internal consistency, test-retest, validation of questionnaire (the latter by ROC curve). Results Brazilian PSQ has shown high internal consistency by Cronbach's alpha (0.86 for the total test, 0.83 for subscale “snoring”, 0.64 for “sleepiness” and 0.65 for “behavior”). Test-retest presented a correlation of 0.89 for subscale “snoring”, 0.93 for “sleepiness” and 0.86 for “behavior”. Accuracy by ROC curve was 0.99. Nine was considered the optimal value to discriminate patients with obstructive sleep apnea from controls, with a sensitivity of 0.92 and specificity of 1.0. Conclusion The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the PSQ into Brazilian Portuguese proved to be successful. In places with difficult access to polysomnography, PSQ can be a useful tool in screening and follow-up of children with obstructive sleep apnea.

title: Backyards: typology and contribution to food security in Mexico

description: ABSTRACT: Backyards are family settings adjacent to the house, characterized mainly by being small-scale and diversified productive spaces. The research typologically characterized the backyards and their contribution to family food security in La Concordia municipality, Chiapas, Mexico. The research was descriptive and mixed, quantitative, and qualitative, and semi-structured interviews were applied to 130 families. For the typification, 21 variables were used, and the statistical techniques of Factorial Analysis and Clusters were applied. The cases studied were classified, according to the relevance of their production and contribution to food security, into two general groups: a) a group of backyards that is more productive and contributes to food security, which in turn includes three subtypes of backyards that differ from each other by their profile towards vegetable or poultry production for subsistence, and/or pigs as a form of savings; b) a group of less productive backyards in which other management strategies for food security are assumed and differ from each other by the level of expulsion of labor force and types of families, nuclear or extended. Poultry and plant species for multiple uses was the most frequently characteristic, regardless of the type of backyard.

title: Network learning and interorganizational learning: a theoretical framework of relationship and interdependence

description: Abstract “Interorganizational learning” (IOL) and “network learning” (NL) are still frequently interpreted as if they were the same phenomenon, even though Knight (2002) claimed they are different constructs. This study demonstrates the consistency of Knight’s claim based on the analysis of both learning processes. Moreover, it highlights their differences in understanding the constructs in the scope of interorganizational networks and organizational transformations. Based on an integrative review, this article describes the subprocesses of IOL and NL through a multilevel learning lens. As a result, the authors develop five propositions and a theoretical framework showing that IOL and NL are indeed different constructs, and the former is an antecedent of the latter. By being aware of the differences between the two constructs, managers may allocate resources and energy easier to achieve organizational change or network-wide transformation. Moreover, the paper presents the network multilevel coordination as a key dynamic for IOL to evolve to NL.

title: Factors determining farmers’ access to agricultural credit in Turkey

description: ABSTRACT: This study assessed the parameters determining the access of producers to agricultural credit in Turkey. This research was carried out in the production areas par excellence of the country. A total of 409 producers have been surveyed. The data collected was collected during the first quarter of 2021 and relates to the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of producers as well as the factors likely to influence their access to agricultural credit. The analysis of the results from the logistic regression model produced shows that the access of producers to agricultural credit is determined by their socio-economic and demographic characteristics. These parameters are level of education, degree of involvement in agricultural activities, social security status, household size and whether you own a tractor. Given the importance of agricultural credit for the agricultural sector; it is therefore, imperative to facilitate its access to producers.

title: Early postoperative serum albumin levels as predictors of surgical outcomes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

description: Abstract Background Malnutrition is a common issue in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and has a negative effect on surgical outcomes. Objective We attempted to determine which malnutrition diagnostic variables can be used as predictors of postoperative complications in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Forty-one patients undergoing surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were submitted to a prospective evaluation. Biochemical data, anthropometric measurements and evaluation of body composition were used in the nutritional analysis. Results Twenty-two patients (53.6%) developed complications. Serum albumin measured on the first postoperative day was the only variable that significantly differed between groups. A cut-off value of 2.8 g/dL distinguished between patients with a complicated and uncomplicated postoperative course. Normalization of albumin levels occurred more frequently and more rapidly in the noncomplicated group. Conclusion Serum albumin measured on the first postoperative day was the only variable that was a predicter of postoperative complications after major head and neck squamous cell carcinoma surgery.

title: Role of transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty in management of lateral pharyngeal wall collapse in OSA

description: Abstract Introduction Non-response to palatal surgery for OSA is a problem. Residual lateral wall hypopharyngeal collapse is the proposed mechanism of failure. Objective This study aims to evaluate the role of transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty in non-responders to primary palatal surgery with residual lateral wall hypopharyngeal collapse. Methods This is a retrospective study that was conducted on patients who underwent transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty for residual lateral wall hypopharyngeal. Inclusion criteria were age greater than 18-years, OSA proved by the polysomnography with apnea hypopnea index &gt;15, lateral wall collapse at the level of hypopharynx as proved by drug-induced sleep endoscopy and had a previous tonsillectomy or previous palatal surgery for OSA. Exclusion criteria were those with no history of tonsillectomy or any other surgery for OSA and those with a missed followup. Data of included patients were collected and included gender, age, polysomnographic data like the apnea hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation and the calculated preoperative Epworth sleepiness scale. The early outcome included symptom improvement as measured by Epworth sleepiness scale score and lateral pharyngeal wall evaluation by nasopharyngoscopic examination in the first postoperative month. Late outcome measurement was performed by the 6-month postoperative polysomnography. Data were analyzed using SPSS program. Results The study included 37 patients with a mean age of (40.43 ± 6.51). The study included 26 men and 11 women. There was a statistically significant improvement of apnea hypopnea index from 37.8 ± 9.93 to 9.9 ± 2.55. In addition, a statistically significant improvement of lowest oxygen saturation from 78.9 ± 3.39 to 83.3 ± 3.31 was encountered. The patients improved clinically, and this improvement was measured by statistically significant improvement of Epworth sleepiness scale score and snoring visual analogue scale. Conclusion Transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty widens the retropalatal airway and has a great role in the management of the vertical palate phenotype. In addition, it can have a role in the management of lateral walls, especially lateral wall hypopharyngeal collapse.

title: Improved friction model applied to plane sliding connections by a large deformation FEM formulation

description: Abstract Friction is an important source of dissipation in dynamical systems. Properly considering it in the numerical model is fundamental to obtain stable and representative responses in structures and mechanisms. This is especially significant for the well-known Coulomb model due to discontinuity in force when stick-slip transition occurs. In this work an improved friction force model is proposed to smooth the force transition at null velocity, with an additional parameter obtained from the own system state. The improved model is employed in sliding connections of plane frames finite elements. A total Lagrangian Finite Element Method (FEM) formulation based on a positional description of the motion is employed. Using a variational principle, frictional dissipation is added to the total mechanical energy to develop the equations of motion. The resulting nonlinear equations are solved by the Newton-Raphson method accounting for the friction force update in the iterative process. Examples are presented to show the formulation effectiveness and possibilities in simulating dynamical systems that present the stick-slip effect.
