¡Cuéntame otra historia! (de la terapia ocupacional).

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This article proposes an historical reflection about the characteristics of the knowledge obtained in occupational therapy and their relations with the context of its production. The article's objective it is to decide if the original ideas of the founders\nbuilt a paradigm. To achieve this objective, an analysis has been done on the original texts of the founders. The criteria used to carry out this analysis, is the ontological interpretation related to the therapeutic values attributed to the occupation of those texts. Afterwards, the common characteristics of those interpretations related to the therapeutic value of the occupation, have been grouped, to compare them with the concept of paradigm. The outcomes of the research allow us to affirm that the ideas of the founders did not build a paradigm. The initial absence of a paradigm determined the following evolution of the occupational therapy's theory
Bitcoin as an alternative digital currency: exploring the publics' perception vs. experts

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper attempts to find out if the view of the public coincides with the opinion of the experts on the Bitcoin's subject and to determine if is information can be implemented in order to establish a use of Bitcoin in our everyday lives. During the first stage of this research, methods and rules of analysis such as descriptive statistics and tables and charts were used. Firstly, a questionnaire was used and secondly, the answers were gathered and classified according to the participants' choices. During the second stage, the data was collected with the use of random sampling, while various techniques, such as simple and multiple regressions were utilised for analysing the results. The conclusion is that the public perceives Bitcoin differently than the experts do. Individuals believe that Bitcoin is mainly a means of transactions/payments, contrary to the experts' opinion, which is that it is foremost an investment asset.
Effects of fat and sucrose substitution on ice cream texture

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Effects of fat and sucrose substitution on physical and sensory properties of frozen desserts were evaluated. Reference ice cream and calorific-reduced frozen desserts were formulated with 54% and 75% reduction in fat content and with 50% reduction in sucrose content. Instant Stellar® fat substitute was used to substitute fat, polidextrose was used as the bulking agent and sucralose as a sweetener. Taste tests carried out by sensory evaluation panel revealed no significant differences in sensory textural attributes between reference samples and reduced fat and sucrose products. Instrumental evaluation of texture indicated significant differences in hardness, gumminess, springiness and cohesiveness of reference and modified products. The presence of fat substitute had a significant effect on viscosity of melted ice cream. Substitution of 54% fat with fat substitute and polidextrose resulted in 35% reduction in the calorific value. The 75% reduction of fat did not significantly decrease calorific value of product when compared to the product with 54% substitution.
An Economic Analysis of Production and Marketing in Rapeseed-Mustard Crop in Meerut District of Western Uttar Pradesh India

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

An attempt has been made in this study to examine the economic analysis of production and marketing of rapeseed-mustard in Meerut district of Western Uttar Pradesh State, India. The study was conducted in Sardhana and Sharurpur Khurd blocks in Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh State, India. Hundred farmers were selected randomly from ten villages from these blocks to collect the required information on the cost of cultivation, marketing and other aspects for the present study. The primary data was collected from the rapeseed-mustard producers through personal interview method with the help of well-prepared schedule and questionnaire for the production and post-harvest year for Rabi rapeseed-mustard 2012-13. The average cost of cultivation and input-output ratio of rapeseed-mustard was worked out as Rs. 50310.84 /ha. And 1: 1.22. The average Cost A1, Cost B1, Cost B2, Cost C1, and Cost C2 were observed as Rs.30294.63, Rs.31945, Rs. 46945.78, Rs.35086.38, and Rs.50310.84 per hectare. The three type of marketing channel identified in the study area were Channel-I: Producer – Consumer, Channel-II: Producer – Retailer –consumer and Channel-III: Producer – Wholesaler - Retailer – Consumer. Price spread of mustard cultivation in channel-I net price received by the producer in consumer’s rupee 95.82 per cent was found and total marketing cost is 4.18 per cent. Chanel-II net price received by the producer in consumer rupee’s 90.59 per cent and total marketing cost was found is 9.41 per cent. Channel-III net price received by the producer in consumer rupee’s 83.53 per cent and total marketing cost is 16.47 per cent. More than 81.00 per cent rapeseed-mustard producers perceived that transportation of small quantity of produce was not an economical option if they sold their small produce in the market. The study suggested that urgent attention must be paid towards enhancing the productivity and marketing of rapeseed-mustard by providing improved and high yielding varieties, technology, irrigation, marketing, price support, policy and effective extension.
OL-043 Passive immunotherapy for influenza A H5N1 virus infection with equine hyperimmune globulin F(ab')2 in mice

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background
Avian influenza virus H5N1 has demonstrated considerable pandemic potential. Currently, no effective vaccines for H5N1 infection are available, so passive immunotherapy may be an alternative strategy. To investigate the possible therapeutic effect of antibody against highly pathogenic H5N1 virus on a mammal host, we prepared specific equine anti-H5N1 IgGs from horses vaccinated with inactivated H5N1 virus, and then obtained the F(ab')2 fragments by pepsin digestion of IgGs.

An alternative response: Developing restorative justice for sexual violence on BC university campuses

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This capstone investigates how restorative justice can be implemented into existing sexual violence policies at three BC universities – SFU, UBC, and UVIC. Universities are currently underutilizing alternative dispute resolution techniques, which can be a very beneficial process for survivor-victims. An extensive literature review and expert interviews justified the assumption of this paper that a restorative justice option should be offered to survivor-victims who seek justice through their university. Case studies and an analysis of the existing policies inform the development of four policy options for consideration. I conclude by offering a short-term recommendation that universities partner with local restorative justice centres, followed by a long-term strategy to work towards the development of a comprehensive province-wide sexual violence policy and response for post-secondary institutions.
Perditus paradisus : the dystopia & utopia dichotomy.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

“One man’s utopia is another man’s dystopia, and vice-versa,” A dystopia is an illusion of a perfect world. Utopia is the perfect society. Dystopia pretends to be the perfect society. This final year project is a series of illustrations heavily based on deconstructed landscapes and cities. It captures the distorted imagery of our landscapes through spaces, transformations, and the predomination of a city as the essence of our own selves. These illustrations reflect the utopic – or dystopic – visions of the perfect and unrealistic landscape envisioned by our alter egos. They criticize the world we live in; probing on the innate traits of humans – complacency, power-hungry, and dehumanization – that might predetermined how the future will turned out. Through my illustrations, viewers are invited to a personal soul-searching to ponder on their perfect world, contemplate on what and how it will become the reality in future, the consequences, and getting in touch with their inner-self mirage.
An Analysis Of The Vulnerability To Terrorist Radicalization In Great Britain

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

To understand the conditions and experiences that might make an individual more vulnerable to terrorist radicalization, this study examines a sample group of Muslim's in Great Britain to determine if responses to survey questions on a range of issues and perceptions can provide indications of an individual's vulnerability to terrorist radicalization. Key to this process was the development of a vulnerability to radicalization score that allowed for an analysis of the relationship between this score and different independent variables. The dataset for this study was obtained using the Pew Research Center's Spring 2006 Global Attitudes Project 15 Nation Survey. This survey contains a significant oversampling of Muslim respondents allowing for the statistical analysis of potential vulnerability. It is important to understand that this analysis does not provide any indication of radicalization, but a vulnerability based upon accepted theories discussed in terrorism literature. The testing of commonly held theories regarding terrorist radicalization produced a very different picture from what has been viewed in the past. New findings include a previously unrecognized quantity of women who are potentially vulnerable to radicalization. Additionally, income and education do not seem to play the pivotal role that is usually expected, and analysis indicates there is a link between the perceptions of actions by the United States government in the war to combat terrorism and the respondents' vulnerability to radicalization. Recommendations are for the refinement and expansion of this study to include the remaining Western European democracies that were sampled and the United States in order to perform a comparative analysis proving a broader understanding regarding the vulnerability of Muslims to terrorist radicalization in Western Democracies.
Inhaled colistin in patients with non - cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and chronic pseudomonas aeruginosa bronquial infection

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Treatment with inhaled colistin in chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa bronchial infection in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is gaining prominence. Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between the use of inhaled colistin and the eradication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), induction of resistance, exacerbations and lung function. Methods: Retrospective before-after study in patients with bronchiectasis and persistence of PA in sputum treated for at least one year with inhaled colistin from 2009-2015. The functional tests, sputum microbiology, number and type of exacerbations (hospital and non-hospital) were analyzed 1 year before and after the use of inhaled colistin. Results: The study included 49 patients with an average age of 72 years (SD± 10); 30 (61%) males. After 1 year of treatment with inhaled colistin: 55% PA sputum cultures were negative (p <0.0001) and 45% positive PA and sensitive to colistin, while there was a decrease in non hospital exacerbations of 2 (SD ± 1.4) to 1 (SD ± 0.7 ) on average (p <0.001) and of hospital exacerbations from 65% to 22.5% (p <0.001). The walking test in patients with persistent positive cultures for PA decreased a mean of 42 mts (SD ± 77) (p=0.033). Conclusions: Inhaled colistin produces a significant eradication of PA in sputum cultures and a decrease in exacerbations. The long-term treatment with colistin did not induce resistance to PA. In spite of the treatment with inhaled colistin, patients with persistent positive cultures for PA showed a significant reduction in exercise capacity.

Mechanisms and spatial spillover effects of science and technology financial ecosystem on carbon emission reduction from multiple perspectives: evidence from China

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract When the global community is actively combating climate change and advancing the sustainable development process, the crucial role of the science and technology finance ecosystem (STFE) in carbon reduction has not been fully explored. In this paper, an evaluation system for the STFE is constructed from two dimensions, namely the “macro-environment subsystem” and the “micro-community subsystem”. From a new perspective of the STFE, it is introduced into the endogenous economic growth model, and combined with the STIRPAT model, a theoretical model of the carbon emission reduction effect of the STFE is explored. Based on the panel data of 284 prefecture-level cities from 2011 to 2020, the dynamic spatial Durbin model is adopted to examine the spatial spillover effect of the STFE on carbon emission reduction and its influencing mechanism. The results are as follows: (1) STFE in China has a spatial imbalance with a pattern of “high in the east and low in the west”. Total factor carbon productivity (TFCP) shows a spatial distribution pattern where “block distribution prevails in mid and low-level cities, supplemented by point distribution in high-level cities”. (2) Local STFE can facilitate local city carbon emission reduction; however, the development of local STFE is harmful to carbon emission reduction in neighboring cities, resulting in the negative externality of the “beggar-thy-neighbor” spatial spillover effect. (3) Heterogeneity analysis indicates that only the STFE in the eastern region is harmful to the improvement of the carbon emission reduction level in neighboring regions, while the positive spatial spillover effect of the STFE carbon emission reduction effect is more prominent in non-resource cities and high-financial-development areas. (4) The negative spatial spillover effect of the development of local STFE on carbon emission reduction in neighboring areas operates through the mechanisms of green technology innovation, human capital siphoning, the digital divide in informatization development, and the competitive exclusion in financial resource allocation. These conclusions not only provide a new research perspective and complementary empirical evidence but also offer a practical guideline for strengthening STFE and facilitating the growth of a low-carbon economy.

Research Article Digital image analysis to quantify genetic divergence in passion fruit (<i>Passiflora</i> <i>edulis</i>) seeds

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Passion fruit is a native fruit of tropical America, with Brazil being the world's leading producer and consumer of this fruit, with an estimated annual production of 554,598 Mg, and yield of 13,500 kg.ha -1 Phenotyping through digital images has been used to evaluate morphological characteristics of seeds.Knowledge of the degree of genetic divergence plays an important role, as it assists in the adoption of appropriate strategies for improvement in passion fruit populations. .The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic divergence among full-sibling families of passion fruit through morphophysiological characteristics of seeds using the Ward-Modified Location Model (Ward-MLM) method.Seeds of 98 full-sibling families (FSF) of passion fruit from the breeding program of the Mato Grosso State University were evaluated considering physiological descriptors of seeds, using germination and vigor tests; and morphological descriptors of seeds, using a digital imaging seed analysis device and software.We found that the Ward-MLM method was efficient in detecting genetic divergence using seed morphological and physiological descriptors, simultaneously.The descriptors that contributed the most to the genetic divergence among L.R. Fachi et al. 2 FSF were those related to seed geometry.This method formed three heterotic groups.Group II had the largest mean emergence speed index (1.106) and seedling emergence percentage (65.8%),and Group III had the largest means of seedling dry weight (4.140 g), radicle length (6.30 mm), germination speed index (2.503), and seed germination percentage (90 %).We conclude that crosses between FSF groups II and III are a good option to improve seed characteristics.
The Generic Research Protocol: An Innovative Technique to Facilitate Research Skills Development and Protocol Preparation

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Hospitals are increasingly delegating responsibility for initiating nursing research to nursing staff whose knowledge of and experience in conducting research may be limited. As a result, nurses involved in continuing education and staff development are increasingly involved in helping staff develop their research skills and prepare research protocols. The generic research protocol (GRP) is a computerized learning package that assists nursing staff in preparing a scholarly research protocol through step-by-step instruction and guidance. When used in two unrelated nursing studies, research skills of participating nursing staff were developed and protocol preparation facilitated. The time and editorial effort required for protocol preparation were reduced, and novice researchers were familiarized with research terminology and issues related to study design.
Mobile Translation Apps. and Second Language Teaching; What do Student's think?

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In the U.A.E. both local and international students use mobile translation applications because of the strong sociological imperatives to learn English and it is having a powerful impact on language learning. Students regularly make use of translation apps in the classroom. These apps are not teachers and cannot know learners' needs or focus attention on course outcomes. Equally, teaching is disconnected from mobile translation technology. In the future, as technology evolves, translation software may make language learning obsolete. Until then, it will be the educator's job to connect this popular means of learning with language teaching.
Design and application of a radar target simulator

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract To fulfill the need for debugging boundary scenes in radar data processing development, this paper proposes a simulator design method for the editing and simulation of diverse combat scenes as required. The simulator was developed based on the VPX platform, including external control equipment, resource scheduling, beam control, target simulation, and data processing. The motion model is based on linear and circular models, the clutter model algorithm is the zero memory nonlinear transformation method based on K distributions, and the noise model is designed as Gaussian white noise, characterized by a probability distribution in the Gaussian distribution and a constant power spectrum. The generated plots are condensed, and their quality is calculated, for which the rate of plot rejection can reach more than 50% by controlling the feature elements. Finally, the simulated target trajectory is visually verified through Matlab.
Five functional foods you may not have heard of before

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

<p>While the terms functional foods, nutraceuticals, and even superfoods have been a part of the food and agriculture industry, lay media, and everyday vernacular for many years now, the first two terms were defined in a 1998 policy paper from Therapeutic Products Programme and the Food Directorate of the Health Protection Branch of Health Canada. A functional food is “similar in appearance to, or may be, a conventional food, is consumed as part of a usual diet, and is demonstrated to have physiological benefits and/or reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond basic nutritional functions, while, a nutraceutical is “a product isolated or purified from foods that is generally sold in medicinal forms not usually associated with food. A nutraceutical is demonstrated to have a physiological benefit or provide protection against chronic disease.”</p>
Gram Positive Bacteria

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Health professionals need to understand the important difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria classified by the color they turn in the staining method. Hans Christian Gram developed the staining method in 1884. The staining method uses crystal violet dye, which is retained by the thick peptidoglycan cell wall found in gram-positive organisms. This reaction gives gram-positive organisms a blue color when viewed under a microscope. Although gram-negative organisms classically have an outer membrane, they have a thinner peptidoglycan layer, which does not hold the blue dye used in the initial dying process. Other information used to differentiate bacteria is the shape. Gram-positive bacteria comprise cocci, bacilli, or branching filaments.
Helicity inversion in spherical convection as a means for equatorward dynamo wave propagation

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We discuss here a purely hydrodynamical mechanism to invert the sign of the\nkinetic helicity, which plays a key role in determining the direction of\npropagation of cyclical magnetism in most models of dynamo action by rotating\nconvection. Such propagation provides a prominent, and puzzling constraint on\ndynamo models. In the Sun, active regions emerge first at mid-latitudes, then\nappear nearer the equator over the course of a cycle, but most previous\nglobal-scale dynamo simulations have exhibited poleward propagation (if they\nwere cyclical at all). Here, we highlight some simulations in which the\ndirection of propagation of dynamo waves is altered primarily by an inversion\nof the kinetic helicity throughout much of the interior, rather than by changes\nin the differential rotation. This tends to occur in cases with a low Prandtl\nnumber and internal heating, in regions where the local density gradient is\nrelatively small. We analyse how this inversion arises, and contrast it to the\ncase of convection that is either highly columnar (i.e., rapidly rotating) or\nlocally very stratified; in both of those situations, the typical profile of\nkinetic helicity (negative throughout most of the northern hemisphere) instead\nprevails.\n
