"Conditional Income Transfer Program as a Means to Development in Brazil: An Intersection With Amartya Sen's Concepts."

Full textAbstract:
The paper aims to examine the ability of income transfer programs in promoting development. More specifically, it utilizes the conception of development defended by Amartya Sen, to confirm or not the hypothesis that the Brazilian approach with the structuring of the Bolsa Familia Program serves the purpose of promoting the economic and social development of the country. For this purpose, the methodology used will be deductive, based on bibliographic research and official data. The article begins by analyzing how income distribution policies operate in the expansion of real freedoms and, more specifically the Brazilian reality with the Bolsa Familia Program, a public policy of direct income transfer, aimed at families in situations of poverty and extreme poverty throughout Brazil, which seeks to guarantee these families the right to food and access to education and health. It then exposes Sen’s conception of what is development, which goes beyond narrower views that limits it to GNP growth or industrialization, encompassing this perspective in a broader concept of development as a process of expanding the real freedoms that people enjoy. In the end, the paper makes an intersection of the Bolsa Familia Programs with Sen’s concept of development, presenting as a final result the conclusion that the program proved to be a relevant tool in removing causes of deprivation of freedom and, therefore, is a move in the right direction of the development process.

In this policy commentary, I highlight opportunities to advance equity and dignity for racialized migrant workers from less affluent countries who are hired through low-wage agricultural streams of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Core features of the program such as 'tied' work permits, non-citizenship, and workers' deportability make it risky for migrant farm workers to exercise their rights. I discuss five federal policy interventions to strengthen justice for migrant farm workers in Canada: 1) permanent resident status; 2) equal access to social protections; 3) open work permits; 4) democratic business ownership; and 5) trade policy that respects community self-determination. To realize a food system that enables health, freedom and dignity for all members of our communities, a Food Policy for Canada cannot be for Canadians alone.

Human life is closely related to the environment but still lacks a sense of concern and responsibility for the environment, so it is necessary to implement character education caring for the environment. Character education that cares for the environment is a process of developing a conscious attitude as part of the environment, so that it seeks to prevent and repair damage to nature and strive to preserve the environment for future generations. The purpose of this study was to determine how the implementation of character education caring for the environment through the Adiwiyata Program for Kalibaru State Vocational High School students in the success of the Banyuwangi Merdeka Program from Plastics. The research method used in this research is qualitative. The subjects in this study were the principal, educators and students. Data collection was carried out by observation techniques, interview techniques, and documentation techniques. The data analysis technique used is an interactive analysis technique which includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, then drawing a conclusion. The results showed that character education caring for the environment through the Adiwiyata program was in line with the Banyuwangi Regency government program, namely freedom from plastic and the program was running well. The program of activities includes clean Friday, healthy Friday, taqwa Friday, daily and weekly routine pickets and programs free from plastic waste. In addition, it also limits the sale of food using plastic media, and urges school residents to bring food and drink containers from home. Through this program, students care more about preserving and cleaning the environment. This is evident from the clean and beautiful conditions of the Kalibaru State Vocational School environment.

AbstractThis randomised, clinical trial tested whether The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) reduced food cravings. This study involved 96 overweight or obese adults who were allocated to the EFT treatment or 4-week waitlist condition. Degree of food craving, perceived power of food, restraint capabilities and psychological symptoms were assessed pre- and post- a 4-week treatment program (mixed method ANOVA comparative analysis), and at 6-month follow-up (repeated measure ANOVA with group data collapsed). EFT was associated with a significantly greater improvement in food cravings, the subjective power of food and craving restraint than waitlist from pre- to immediately post-test (p< .05). Across collapsed groups, an improvement in food cravings and the subjective power of food after active EFT treatment was maintained at 6 months, and a delayed effect was seen for craving restraint. Although there was a significant reduction in measures of psychological distress immediately after treatment (p< .05), there was no between-group difference. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that EFT can have an immediate effect on reducing food cravings and can result in maintaining reduced cravings over time.

ABSTRAK
 Pembangunan Food estate di Kalimantan Tengah akan dilakukan dengan intensifikasi lahan pertanian yang sudah ada dengan cara meningkatkan indeks pertanaman. Pengagendaan ketahanan pangan tergantung keberadaan isu yang memang mengancam, keinginan politik aktor dalam sekuritisasi, bayangan keuntungan masa depan yang akan didapat, juga jejaring lokal dan nasional yang dibangun untuk mendukung proses tersebut, dan faktor yang memperlemahnya adalah kondisi politik yang kerap berubah. Terdapat disjungsi antara kebijakan terkait keamanan pangan dan bentuk-bentuk kemiskinan pangan yang dialami, dan menimbulkan keraguan atas konsistensi internal kebijakan. Akibat implementasi yang belum matang, capaian keberhasilan program MIFEE sebelumnya masih relatif lambat. Telah diidentifikasi sejumlah masalah dalam meningkatkan produksi beras, seperti penguasaan lahan, kesesuaian lahan, sistem air, infrastruktur, aksesibilitas faktor produksi, kelembagaan, dan kapasitas sumber daya manusia. Proyek modernisasi pertanian dalam skala luas di Merauke dan Bulungan bukanlah usaha menjaga ketahanan pangan, melainkan semata ekspansi agribisnis dalam skala luas. Solusi yang ditawarkan adalah bahwa pelaku utama pembangunan Food estate ini terutama adalah para petani setempat. Kewajiban pemerintah adalah membantu mereka dengan menciptakan iklim, di mana para pelaku pembangunan ini bersedia dan mampu melakukan pembangunan Food estate yang sukses sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Setiap petani mempunyai kebebasan memilih, jenis pembangunan Food Estate apa yang akan mereka lakukan, bagaimana caranya, dan bilamana pembangunan itu akan dilakukan, untuk apa hasilnya nanti akan digunakan, dan sebagainya. Pemerintah hanya mengarahkan hak pilih petani dengan mengatur keadaan yang ada di sekitar petani.
 ABSTRACT
 Food estate development in Central Kalimantan will be carried out by intensifying existing agricultural land by increasing the cropping index. The agenda for food security depends on the existence of a threatening issue, the political will of the actors in securitization, the image of future benefits that will be obtained, as well as local and national networks that are built to support this process, and the factor that weakens it is the changing political conditions. There is a disjunction between policies related to food security and the forms of food poverty experienced, and raises doubts over the internal consistency of the policy. Due to the immature implementation of the MIFEE program, the achievements of the previous MIFEE program were relatively slow. A number of problems have been identified in increasing rice production, such as land tenure, land suitability, water systems, infrastructure, accessibility of production factors, institutions, and human resource capacity. The large scale agricultural modernization project in Merauke and Bulungan is not an effort to maintain food security, but merely an expansion of agribusiness on a large scale. The solution offered is that the main actors in the development of this food estate are mainly local farmers. The government's obligation is to help them by creating a climate in which these development actors are willing and able to carry out successful Food estate developments as expected. Every farmer has the freedom to choose, what type of Food Estate development they will do, how, and when the construction will be carried out, what the results will be used for, and so on. The government only directs farmers' suffrage rights by regulating the existing conditions around the farmers.

Full textAbstract:
The present study was an attempt to assess adequacy, utilization and repayment of Society for Social Service (SSS) credit on women beneficiaries. Interviewing 90 respondents randomly selected from five villages of Gouripur upazila of Mymensingh district in Bangladesh. The study revealed that both annual income and expenditure of the respondent households have increased after joining the micro credit program of SSS. Average annual income of agriculture and petty business enterprises are Tk. 80726.57 and 74864.14 respectively while average annual expenditure of agriculture and petty business enterprises are Tk. 78776.65 and 67912.37 respectively. Overall annual savings of agriculture and petty business enterprises are Tk. 3733.25 and 8475.09 respectively. Moreover, the women are better at present in respect of social awareness, freedom of attitude, financial freedom and also exercising their right in decision making activities. The study identified some crucial problems such as lack of adequate credit, high rate of interest, burden of old debt, lack of storage and marketing facilities, lack of improved seeds/breed and low price of their products, etc. The findings suggest that the amount of credit should be provided in accordance with their requirement, reduced interest rate and arranging for reasonable price of their products. Finally it was concluded that the SSS credit program benefited the women beneficiaries in respect of increasing income, creating self-employment opportunity, improving social status and at least in reducing the poverty from the study area.

Integrated Crop Management (ICM) applies various farming technologies through efficient production inputs according to location specifics, so as to produce high productivity to support sustainable production increases. Government programs in increasing production in the form of assistance to farmers are often followed in ICMFS activities and are expected to be included in the program to increase food production programs to achieve the right targets as desired. The result shows that, ICM has been carried out by farmers by choosing rice varieties that are able to adapt to the environment, resistant to pest and disease attacks, have high selling values and have a good taste that is accepted by consumers. The purposes of the farm group is to get capital assistance, increase income and develop farming. The group’s objectives are formulated by deliberations with group members, even though group goals do not cover all the needs of group members. Members are given the freedom to convey their ideas and opinions. Group structure is formed based on the agreement of members and deliberations as expected by members. the group structure consists of farmer group leaders, secretaries, treasurers and members. Cooperation among member groups is good and the group leader is able to communicate well. The group’s unity is fundamental to the success of the group

Climate change is a phenomenon of erratic weather changes caused by conditions of temperature and rainfall. Based on this phenomenon, agriculture is the sector that has the most impact on climate change due to decreased productivity of food crops. This can be seen from the increasing number of pests and plant diseases being planted. If this problem continues, the economic income of the farmers will decline and tend to experience a food crisis. Therefore, Pertamina MOR VIII entered the community by overcoming problems that occurred through the CSR program. The CSR program carried out by the Kranjang Hamlet farmer group is based on climate change conditions and the SDGs concept. In the agricultural sector, there are several SDGs indicators that intersect, such as freedom from hunger, a healthy and prosperous life, the need for clean water, and the handling of climate change. Kranjang Hamlet, which is located in Wayame Village, is a hamlet located in the Ambon Islands District which is vulnerable to climate change. Because of this vulnerability, Adaptation is carried out to answer problems that occur in the village. By looking at some of these problems, the purpose of this study is to determine (1) community behavior in facing climate change, (2) CSR programs regarding climate change adaptation, and (3) Application of community CSR programs based on SDGs. The results of the research found were (1) The community's knowledge regarding climate change was relatively low, (2) The realization of the achievement of SDGs 1 in responding to community needs, especially for farmer groups (3) To achieve SDGs 2, the Company has provided training to improve community adaptation to climate change such as goat livestock as a substitute for non-organic fertilizers, training in composting from livestock manure, and training in the prevention of agricultural diseases or pests organized by the company. (4) In achieving SDGs 3 and SDGs 6, it is done by making hydram pumps to irrigate agriculture and the community's need for clean water. The conclusion of this study is that the company has provided a CSR program to the people of Wayame Village to meet the needs of the Village farmer groups. So that the community has the capacity to see and understand the climate change adaptation process in the agricultural sector in Wayame Village.

Full textAbstract:
Representing stories through documentary film can offer a means to convey multilayered and sensory accounts of the lived experiences of people in extreme transition, especially former refugees. However, along with the potential of this medium comes the responsibility to engage with participants in an ethical and reciprocal manner. This article examines these prerequisites and applies them to two films about the experiences of people from refugee backgrounds in Australia. The first film, The Last Refuge: Food Stories from Myanmar to Coffs Harbour (2015), explores the Myanmar community, their sociocultural relationship to food and how this informs their identity. The second film, 3Es to Freedom (2017), documents a supported employment program for women from refugee backgrounds. Despite having different purposes and target audiences, the two films reinforced the importance of establishing informed and negotiated consent with marginalised people as the basis of all interactions and representations on film. Such negotiation seeks to minimise power imbalances and forms the ethical starting point for reflexive filmmaking practice that considers the filmmakers’ and participants’ intentions, and that promotes a heightened awareness of how knowledge is created through image-making.

Background:Kuwait has a high prevalence and incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D). At present there is a need for structured educational programs (SEP) specifically tailored for Arabian youth with T1D. This SEP was locally and culturally adapted from the Kids In Control of Food (KICk-OFF) course delivered at the Dasman Diabetes Institute, Kuwait. Aims:To explore the psychological and social impact of a pilot SEP for Arabian youth with T1D and their mothers through exploring their respective perspectives. Methods:All 20 participants were interviewed using semistructured interviews individually, with a duration of approximately 30-45 min. The interviews were recorded and then transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic approach. Results:The adolescents gained more self-confidence in managing their diabetes and their mothers were more confident in allowing their children take the lead in their diabetes self-management. Participants were empowered with adequate knowledge about the underlying pathophysiology of glucose metabolism and the nutritional and pharmacological management which made them feel in control and helped them to better cope with diabetes. It reduced diabetes-related family stress and gave them more social freedom, supporting behavioral change for a better lifestyle. Conclusions:Attending the adapted SEP had a positive impact on adolescents with T1D and their mothers through enhancement of their knowledge and confidence, thus giving them a sense of disease control. This pilot study has proven effective in terms of enhancement of confidence in diabetes management and psychosocial factors. Therefore, there is a need for a wider implementation.

Abstract In today’s marketplace, consumers have a plethora of options when it comes to purchasing beef, whether that be conventional, all-natural, organic, or any other feed based labeling. They also have the freedom to make that purchasing decision based on the brand, packaging, and price just to name a few. However, the supply of beef that is on the shelves for consumers changed since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. This poster reveals that no significant differences were recorded with purchasing decisions nor marketing decisions; however, data was analyzed for themes that are present during this pandemic.The purpose of this study is to find out how the purchasing behaviors of consumers have changed since the COVID-19 outbreak in terms of beef. Are specialty labels less important? Does brand loyalty still matter? In order to evaluate this, we asked consumers several questions to better understand current behaviors and trends for the marketing of beef products. The poster will provide the coded data and summaries of the total population of 54 participants.

Telah banyak program maupun bantuan pemerintah yang diberikan untuk memajukan para anggota kelompok, baik di tingkat kelurahan maupun kecamatan. Bantuan yang diperoleh antara lain program bantuan modal, ketrampilan (soft skills) seperti pelatihan pemanfaatan bahan sampah kertas dan plastik untuk dibuat berbagai jenis bunga plastik, juga pelatihan teknik pengolahan bahan makanan (pembuatan kripik pisang, kripik tempe, kacang bawang, krupuk nasi, dll), namun yang belum pernah dilakukan adalah bagaimana mengolah buah lontar yang telah tua (masak) untuk dijadikan berbagai jenis makanan, salah satunya adalah pemanfaatannya untuk dibuat dodol. Jumlah pohon lontar yang cukup banyak tumbuh di kota Kupang tidak diimbangi dengan tingkat pemanfaatannya oleh masyarakat. Hal ini dapat disebabkan karena pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai cara pengolahan produk dari lontar yang masih minim. Metodologi yang diterapkan adalah, melalui suatu pelatihan yang dilakukan selama satu hari pelatihan meliputi penyuluhan dan praktek langsung pembuatan dodol. Kegiatan pelatihan dilakukan pada tanggal 02 Oktober 2021, bertempat disalah satu rumah milik anggota kelompok. Jumlh peserta sebanyak 15 orang, dengan hasil yang sangat memuaskan (semua peserta mengikutinya dengan sangat antusias). Diharapkan para peserta dapat memanfaatkan ketrampilan ini untuk peningkaatan perekonomiannya.

 ABSTRACT
 Kota Raja Subdistrict, East Nusa Tenggara Province has several working groups (PKK) called the Dasawisma group, one of the goals of the Dasawisma group is how to make group members more prosperous in their lives. This group is divided based on rayon or RT, there are about 15 Dasawisma groups, each group is given the freedom to manage their own group, as well as its programs. Many programs and government assistance have been provided to developed group members through all government levels. All groups have received such assistance, such as capital assistance programs, skills (soft skills) ex: training in the use of paper and plastic waste materials to make various types of plastic flowers, as well as training on food processing techniques (making banana chips, tempeh chips, onion nuts, rice crackers, etc.). But, what has never been done is how to process old (ripe) palm fruit to make various types of food, one of which is to make dodol. The number of palm trees in the city of Kupang is very large but the utilization by the local community is still minimal. This is more due to people's lack of knowledge of how to process product from lontar. The methodology applied is through a training carried out for one day, includes counseling and direct practice of making dodol. The training activity was carried out on October 2, 2021, located in a house belonging to a group member. The number of participants was 15 people, with very satisfying results (all participants participated with great enthusiasm). Hopefully, the participants can use these skills to improve their economic condition.

Even with all the evolution achieved by humanity, it is still possible to identify in several societies that there are people in extreme poverty. Combating this sad reality is a task not only for governments but for all those who make up this society. In Brazil, the commitment to the fight against extreme poverty formed the agenda of the social democratic governments that commanded national politics during the first two decades of the 21st century. Recognized by international agencies as a successful example of a government program aimed at the socio-economic inclusion of the most needy part of society, the Brasil Sem Miséria Plan - PBSM focused on creating structuring conditions so that individuals, in extreme poverty, could enter the job market, managing to obtain an income capable of granting them social inclusion, dignity, food sovereignty and financial freedom. In this sense, the present study aims to discuss the integrated and articulated practices promoted within the scope of the PBSM with small beekeepers in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco, especially in the municipality of Quixaba - PE. Beekeepers benefited from the program, and how the combination of actions developed by the government, society, and producers managed to change the living conditions of this group, and how these practices can be used as an example for other locations.

Quantitative risk assessments for Bovine pongiform ncephalopathy (BSE) necessitate estimates for key parameters such as the prevalence of infection, the probability of absence of infection in defined birth cohorts, and the numbers of BSE-infected, but non-detected cattle entering the food chain. We estimated three key parameters with adjustment for misclassification using the German BSE surveillance data using a Gompertz model for latent (i.e., unobserved) age-dependent detection probabilities and a Poisson response model for the number of BSE cases for birth cohorts 1999 to 2015. The models were combined in a Bayesian framework. We estimated the median true BSE prevalence between 3.74 and 0.216 cases per 100,000 animals for the birth cohorts 1990 to 2001 and observed a peak for the 1996 birth cohort with a point estimate of 16.41 cases per 100,000 cattle. For birth cohorts ranging from 2002 to 2013, the estimated median prevalence was below one case per 100,000 heads. The calculated confidence in freedom from disease (design prevalence 1 in 100,000) was above 99.5% for the birth cohorts 2002 to 2006. In conclusion, BSE surveillance in the healthy slaughtered cattle chain was extremely sensitive at the time, when BSE repeatedly occurred in Germany (2000–2009), because the entry of BSE-infected cattle into the food chain could virtually be prevented by the extensive surveillance program during these years and until 2015 (estimated non-detected cases/100.000 [95% credible interval] in 2000, 2009, and 2015 are 0.64 [0.5,0.8], 0.05 [0.01,0.14], and 0.19 [0.05,0.61], respectively).

College musicians encounter health risks not dissimilar to those of professional musicians. Fifteen collegiate instrumental musicians participated in the intervention program of yogic-breathing and muscle-strengthening and flexibility exercises for 8 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention data from the Health-Pain-Injury Inventory (HPI) and the Physical & Musical-Performance Efficacy Assessment Survey (PME) were analyzed for the effects of the program on the musicians’ physical and musical-performance efficacy. HPI results showed that the majority of our sample had healthy lifestyles and minimal pain and injuries but irregular eating and exercise habits. The pre-intervention PME data showed a high level of musical efficacy (i.e., awareness of music technique, tone, and flow) but a low-level of physical efficacy (i.e., awareness of posture, tension, and movement flexibility). Post-intervention data showed that the program improved physical efficacy by increased awareness of posture and tension. In 2 volunteer musicians, kinematics motion analysis was conducted for exploratory purposes. Our cellist played the scale using a larger range of motion (ROM) in right shoulder flexion and abduction and slightly increased rotation while keeping decreased right elbow ROM after the intervention program. The flutist shifted the body weight from one foot to the other more in the second playing post-intervention. These changes can be attributed to the increased physical efficacy that allowed freedom to express musicality. Findings from these case scenarios provide empirically based hypotheses for further study. We share our experience so that others may use our model and instruments to develop studies with larger samples.

Background: We aimed to assess the association of sleep with metabolic syndrome in the 2013/2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Methods: Sample size included 2737 out of 2013 and 2014 NHANES surveys. Cross-sectional study of metabolic syndrome and sleep duration was conducted. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to NCEP ATPIII (National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III) criteria. Metabolic syndrome severity score was calculated based on actual measurement of each component, adjusted for sex and race. The generalized additive model (GAM) was built to assess the smooth relationship between metabolic syndrome/metabolic syndrome severity score and sleep duration. Adjustment of models were done for age, sex, race, and sitting time. The value of effective degree of freedom (EDF) formed by the GAM model shows the degree of curvature of the relationship. A value of 1 for EDF is translated as the linear shape of relationship. Values larger than one denote a more complex relationship between the response variable and the predicting one. Results: There was a U-shaped association between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome in univariable GAM (EDF = 2.43, p = 0.06) and multivariable GAM (EDF = 2.03, p = 0.20). The lowest risk of metabolic syndrome was observed in people sleeping 7 hours/night. There was a significant U-shaped association between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome severity score in multivariable GAM (EDF = 2.94, p = 0.0004). Similarly, the lowest mean metabolic syndrome severity score was observed in people sleeping 7 hours/night. There was an effect modification of sex and sleep duration indicating strong U-shaped relationship of metabolic syndrome severity score and sleep duration in women (EDF = 3.43, p = 0.00002) and semi-linear association in men (EDF = 1.76, p = 0.04). Conclusion: Short and long sleep duration was associated with higher risk of metabolic syndrome and higher scores of metabolic syndrome severity score in women. Short sleep duration was associated with higher risk of metabolic syndrome and higher scores of metabolic syndrome severity score in men.

Full textAbstract:
Virulent ovine foot rot is a contagious foot disease. Given the development and validation of a real-time PCR to detect Dichelobacter nodosus isolates that contain the virulence-associated protease genes aprV2 and aprB2, the diagnosis of foot rot has made considerable progress. We evaluated pooling methods to reduce the number of samples during a foot rot control program. Samples of individual feet were compared to a 4-feet sample of the same sheep. All further analyses based on 4-feet samples (pools-of-5 and pools-of-10 4-feet samples) were compared to samples of individual sheep, and a risk-based herd sampling was evaluated and compared to the whole flock. The sensitivity and specificity of the 4-feet samples for detection of aprV2-positive strains was 93.8% (CI: 87.6–97.5%) and 98.3% (CI: 96.5–99.3%), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the pools-of-10 was 86.7% (CI: 78.4–92.7%) and 100.0% (CI: 97.4–100%), respectively. Pools-of-5 were not significantly more sensitive than pools-of-10. The pooling of 4 individual foot samples into one 4-feet sample is an adequate method to reduce the number of samples of individual sheep. The sensitivity of pools-of-5 and pools-of-10 is too imprecise for a control program. Risk-based sampling allowed for a substantial reduction of samples to be tested, had a sensitivity of 95.8% (CI: 78.9–99.9%) and specificity of 100.0% (CI: 88.1–100.0%) when determining the foot rot flock status, and represents an adequate methodology to predict within-flock freedom from infection.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Nurses working in hospitals face unique influences on their workplace dietary behaviors, but little is known about what nurses experience as dietary influencers in the hospital setting. Understanding these influences is paramount in developing effective programs that target healthy workplace eating. This study aimed to explore hospital shift nurses’ experiences and perceptions of influences on making healthy nutritional choices while at work. Methods: This qualitative, descriptive study was guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework and analyzed using thematic analysis. Twenty-one Registered Nurses working 10- to 12-hour shifts in hospitals in South Carolina, USA, in 2018 were interviewed individually or in focus groups about their workplace dietary behaviors and influences. Findings: Framework constructs most relevant to hospital shift nurses included (a) environmental context and resources; (b) social/professional role and identity; (c) memory, attention, and decision processes; (d) social influences; (e) emotion; and (f) behavioral regulation. In addition, four major themes emerged: (a) Nursing roles and responsibilities restrict freedom of movement and minimize individual control over dietary practices; (b) The hospital food environment is oppressively unhealthy; (c) Free food is currency and influences consumption; and (d) Shift work is a major barrier to healthy eating. Conclusions/Applications to Practice: To achieve healthy eating practices in the workplace, hospital shift nurses need supportive systems, policies, and interventions that target and reduce the barriers inherent in hospital-based nursing shift work. To improve hospital shift nurses’ workplace dietary behaviors, these findings should inform hospital food policies, workplace wellness programs, administrative practices, and staff education.

Full textAbstract:
Globally, new trends of practices are incorporating in health care sector, academics as well as in our daily lives to cope with the current population need. It is much needed to develop and implement new sophisticated practice models in rehabilitation to treat the different clinical conditions. Diabetes mellitus is one among the top 10 causes of death, with significant increase of 80% since year 20001. As estimated by International Diabetes Federation worldwide, 425 million people are suffering with diabetes mellitus.2 Diabetic neuropathy is one of highly prevalent condition which substantially affects patients by increasing frequency of falls, neuropathic pain and low quality of life (QOL).Diabetic patients suffer with following complaints i.e. Foot ulcers that develops due to peripheral vascular ischemia and poor pressure distribution on plantar surface of foot which increases the risk of fall due to loss of balance and disturbance in gait patterns.3 Total 20% of foot ulcers need an amputation wherein patients further suffer with secondary complications which in turn builds massive economic burden on health care system.4 The rehabilitation combined with diet and medications has proven as an effective method to treat diabetes and its neuropathy symptoms. Supervised conventional center based physical activity training programs are generally in practice to treat this metabolic condition. Though clinical effectiveness of these programs is established on clinical outcomes, with reduction in mortality rate, despite all the benefits of rehabilitation programs, very low patient attendance is observed in hospital based supervised rehabilitation programs. The regularity in exercise along with dietary intervention and fixed medication monitoring is the key component to manage diabetes. But high drop-out levels negatively affects the proven effectiveness of rehabilitation. There are different aspects for this low level of participation i.e. lack of time, approachability of a program, home bound work or obligations and psychological barriers etc. Therefore, new practice models are essential to improve the rate of participation on regular basis in these exercise program.5 Computer based technological incorporation in the field of health is evolving dramatically as a promising tool in improving quality of life cost effectively. It can also help us to achieve WHO goal “to improve access to health care services and professionals”. Tele-rehabilitation may prove effective as part of the rehabilitation program, especially for diabetic patients who fail to participate in conventional rehabilitation center-based programs due to domestic issues. The factors associated with suboptimal participation in rehabilitation at home are less prevalent. In tele-rehabilitation, patients are not bound to visit rehabilitation center or hospital; hence they have the freedom to perform exercise at home. But the limitations in utilization of this approach are: patient assessment and evaluation in a structured manner, monitoring the effect of program on regular basis, suitability of approach for all type of morbidities & severity levels of diabetes and suitable equipment having required features for patients as well as practitioners.6 Tele-rehabilitation is a prospective opportunity to treat the diabetic patients through regular monitoring with less drop outs rather than center based approach. However, there is a need to identify the types and severity of diabetic patients for whom this approach is safe and effective. Secondly, it is required to define clinical assessment outcomes which can be monitored and assessed. Incorporation of advanced equipment and relevant operational training is indispensable. Development of Standardized documentation for patient evaluation, intervention and outcomes monitoring is imperative to long term sustainability and improvement of practice. It is equally important to ensure the security and confidentiality of Patient’s personal data and privacy.7

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the issues of economic and legal support of food security in the United States of America. The authors analyzed the concepts of "food security", "food insufficiency" and "lack of food security", used as an assessment of wellbeing and enshrined in US legal acts, and also identified the main indicators for assessing the state of food security. Based on the current, as of August 2021, statistical data, the level of food security of the population in the United States is shown and a reasonable conclusion is made that despite the program developed by the US Department of Agriculture for studying the level of food security, the availability of aff ordable food resources, not everyone living in the territory of this state provided with food (food) in the required quantity. At the same time, the national legal framework does not guarantee the right to food and the provision of practical forms of support for the most vulnerable social groups of the population for all citizens. It justifies the U.S.-specific decline in food security, which led to a decrease in the food supply of 13.7 million households, while from 2018 to the present, these households have diffi culty in providing all their members with enough food due to lack of resources. This decrease compared to 2018 (11.1 %) is statistically signifi cant, as 6.5 % of households with children (2.4 million households) were unable to provide their children with a complete and nutritious diet, resulting in children experiencing food insecurity. The article presents the points of view of experts and scientists who analyzed the state of economic and legal support of food security in the United States. The study allowed the authors to conclude that the considered features of the economic and legal support of food security in the United States are a reaction to the consequences of the economic crisis, which leads to a violation of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the majority of citizens living in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
In a highly competitive global marketplace, Australian horticulture has traded on its ‘clean’ and ‘green’ image for many years. Although product quality, food safety and freedom from chemical residues (‘clean’) are routinely monitored, ‘green’ credentials are less readily proven. Social and market pressures for demonstration of environmentally responsible production are increasing with the introduction of product standards such as EUREPGAP. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a potential tool to demonstrate environmental management, achieve environmental outcomes and manage risks, but is EMS appropriate for application to Australian horticulture? Major drivers for the Australian horticulture sector to address its environmental management performance are outlined. EMS is examined as a tool for achieving this outcome by exploring six factors that will influence its effectiveness: (i) complexity and diversity of the horticulture sector, (ii) the variety of expectations surrounding EMS programs, (iii) whether they can achieve environmental outcomes, (iv) whether they will be adopted by farmers, (v) scepticism towards assurance schemes and (vi) links with other programs and policy instruments. It is proposed that these factors are critical to the appropriate implementation of EMS in horticulture, and must be considered and addressed in the design, implementation and evaluation stages.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Modern insulin pump therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus offers the freedom to program several basal profiles that may accommodate diurnal variability in insulin sensitivity and activity level. However, these basal profiles do not change even if a pending hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event is foreseen. New insulin pumps could receive a direct feed of glucose values from a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system and could enable dynamic basal adaptation to improve glycemic control. Method: The proposed method is a two-step procedure. After the design of an initial basal profile, an adaptation of the basal rate is suggested as a gain multiplier based on the current CGM glucose value and its rate of change (ROC). Taking the glucose value and its ROC as axes, a two-dimensional plane is divided into a nine-zone mosaic, where each zone is given a predefined basal multiplier; for example, a basal multiplier of zero indicates a recommendation to shut off the pump. Results: The proposed therapy was evaluated on 20 in silico subjects (ten adults and ten adolescents) in the Food and Drug Administration-approved UVa/Padova simulator. Compared with conventional basal therapy, the proposed basal adjustment improved the percentage of glucose levels that stayed in the range of 60–180 mg/dl for all 20 subjects. In addition, the adaptive basal therapy reduced the average blood glucose index values. Conclusions: The proposed therapy provides the flexibility to account for insulin sensitivity variations that may result from stress and/or physical activities. Because of its simplicity, the proposed method could be embedded in a chip in a future artificial pancreatic β cell or used in a “smart” insulin pump.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes the development of a gait rehabilitation system with a locomotion interface (LI) for home-visit rehabilitation. For this purpose, the LI should be compact, small, and easy to move. The LI has two 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) manipulators with footpads to move each foot along a trajectory. When the user stands on the footpads, the system can move his or her feet while the body remains stationary. The footpads can have various trajectories, which are prerecordings of the movements of healthy individuals walking on plane surfaces or slopes. The homes of stroke patients may have not only flat surfaces but also some slopes and staircases. The quadriceps femoris muscle is important for walking up and down slopes and staircases, and the eccentric and concentric contractions of this muscle are, in particular, difficult to train under normal circumstances. Therefore, we developed a graded-walking program for the system used in this study. Using this system, the user can undergo gait rehabilitation in their home, during visits by a physical therapist. An evaluation of the results of tests showed that the vastus medialis muscles of all the subjects were stimulated more than by walking on real slopes.

Gender inequality is often cited as a barrier to improving women’s sexual and reproductive health outcomes, including contraceptive use. Indonesia is ranked at 85th place out of the 153 countries in Global Gender Gap Report 2020, which indicates gender inequality. Although positive increases in women's participation in the economy, health and education have been shown since 2014. Keeping in view this fact, we investigated the impact of women’s decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use among married women age 15–49 years in Indonesia. Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014 data has been used for analysis by ordered logistic regression. Women’s participation in making four household decisions: food purchases, household purchases; freedom to visit family and relatives and contraceptive use have been used as women’s decision-making autonomy. The results indicated that women’s decision-making autonomy has been positively associated with contraceptive use. Women’s age, job status, education level, number of children, domicile status, internet access, and household wealth status also been found statistically significantly associated with contraceptive use. The current study suggests integrating the interventions for women’s decision-making autonomy into family planning programs.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBased on 17 months of ethnographic fieldwork and 45 in-depth interviews with formerly-incarcerated men, this article explores how former prisoners navigate criminal justice and welfare bureaucracies in their daily lives. Formerly-incarcerated men must repeatedly engage with parole, public assistance agencies, transitional housing facilities, and community-based service providers to maintain freedom and access food, shelter, and rehabilitative services. Accessing resources requires the men simultaneously to manage multiple, overlapping entanglements across a fragmented network of bureaucracies. This runaround exacerbates the stress of poverty, breeds distrust of state authorities, and, in some cases, precipitates recidivism. Former prisoners learned how to cope with the runaround by treating systems navigation as a full-time occupation, but these skills did not translate into long-term economic security. Most study participants recurrently cycled between low-wage jobs, transitional housing facilities, and public assistance programs for years after release. This article illustrates the need to theorize prisoner reentry as a process that unfolds across a network of criminal justice and welfare bureaucracies and demonstrates how formerly-incarcerated men experience citizenship not only through coercive encounters with the criminal justice system but also through their simultaneous entanglements with safety-net bureaucracies.

Functional insulin therapy is an educational method that is part of a strategy to intensify type 1 diabetes in order to optimize the balance of diabetes while improving the psychological aspect of the patient. The Aim: of this study is to assess the impact of functional insulin therapy on the psychological aspect of type 1 diabetics. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective and analytical descriptive study, conducted from March 2019 to August 2019, we included 20 type 1 diabetic patients who benefited from a functional insulin therapy education program and an evaluation of the psychological impact made by a questionnaire and a psychological interview. Results: Out of a total number of 20 patients benefited from education between March 2019 to August 2019: 6 men, 14 women, average age of 20 years, average duration of diabetes of 8 years, 80% are students. Functional insulin therapy is used exclusively in all patients. The questionnaire shows an improvement in the perception of the impact of diabetes in (66%), there is a decrease in anxiety in (75%), With 16 patients or (80%) declaring satisfaction with the method, 12 patients either (60%) declared an acceptance of the treatment, 14 patients or (70%) reported more autonomy and self-management, 8 patients or (40%) reported an improvement in their socio-professional relations, The doctor-patient relationship is improved in (90%) of patients. According to the open questions, functional insulin therapy brings better control of diabetes and food freedom. The difficulties mainly felt are the calculation of the quantities of carbohydrates, the economic constraint: the cost of the insulin pens and capillary blood glucose strips and the multiple injections: more than four times a day and self- monitoring six times a day. Conclusion: The results suggest that learning functional insulin therapy improves the psychological aspect of type 1 diabetics through better control of the disease.

The article presents an analysis of the charitable activities of the Seventh-day Adventist Church as one of the representatives of the Protestant community. It was determined that one of the priority areas of social service to the community. Adventists consider charity, through which they try in every possible way to help people suffering from hunger, hostilities, conflicts and the like. In particular, attention is focused on the dominant Adventist charitable programs, such as: "The Eastern Angel" and "Hands of Hope", through which Seventh-day Adventists provide material and other assistance to the population in different parts of Ukraine. It has been established that from the moment of their inception to the present day Adventists have been carrying out important social programs aimed at improving the physical and material situation of socially unprotected segments of the population. Attention is focused on the fact that the contribution of Adventists to the socio-economic development of Ukraine, on the one hand, is relatively insignificant, but on the other hand, due to the conscientious fulfillment of their civic duties, believers of this denomination systematically serve the needs of society to the best of their ability. Adventists define their duty to the state and society as follows: paying taxes in good faith, developing business and creating new jobs, establishing real human relations, and active charity. It has been established that the life of Adventists is subject to Christian ethics: property rights, hard work, freedom of entrepreneurship, charity. As a result, all actions of the representatives of this religion are aimed at a person and his needs. A conditional guide in the social ministry of Adventists is the "Social Teachings of the Church of Seventh-day Adventists", which sets out the principles of social responsibility of Adventists to the society of which they themselves are a part. A powerful charitable organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is the Adventist Relief and Development Agency, through which the Church is trying to help people in crisis situations. It has been established that since 2014, ADRA has been actively helping residents in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The reports of ADRA were analyzed, according to which it was established that the Adventist charitable agency implements food, non-food and other programs throughout Ukraine.

The mechanical and electrical system designs and system integration including controllers and sensory devices of the humanoid KHR-2 are presented. The design concept and the objective are also discussed. Since 2003, we have been developing KHR-2, which has 41 DOF (degrees of freedom). Each arm of KHR-2 has 11 DOF in total: 5 DOF/hand (i.e. fingers), 2 DOF/wrist, and 4 DOF/arm. Each leg constitutes 6 DOF. The head constitutes 6 DOF (2 DOF for eyes and 2 DOF at the neck), and the trunk has 1 DOF. KHR-2 has been mechanically designed to have a human friendly appearance and also wide ranges of angular motion. Its joint actuators have been designed in order to reduce motion uncertainties such as backlash. All axes of KHR-2 are under distributed control, which reduces the computational burden on the main controller and also to facilitate device expansions. We have developed a microprocessor-based sub-controller for servo motor operations, onto which sensory feedback is interfaced. The main controller, which is mounted on the back of the robot communicates with sub-controllers in real-time through CAN (Controller Area Network). Windows XP is used as the OS (Operating System), which enables rapid program development. RTX (Real Time eXtension) HAL extension software is used to realize the real-time control in the Windows XP environment. KHR-2 has several sensor types such as 3-axis F/T (Force/Torque) sensors at the foot and wrist, an inertia sensor system (accelerometer and rate gyro), and a CCD camera. The F/T sensor at the foot is crucially important for stable walking. The inertia sensor system is essential for determining the inclination of the robot with respect to the ground.

Objective: To evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of the 4 currently available hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, fluvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, and simvastatin, in the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia. Data Sources: English-language clinical studies, abstracts, and review articles identified from MEDLINE searches and bibliographies of identified articles. Unpublished data were obtained from the Food and Drug Administration in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. Study Selection: Placebo-controlled and comparative studies of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor monotherapy in the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia. Data Extraction: Pertinent studies were selected and the data were synthesized into a review format. Data Synthesis: The chemistry, pharmacology, and pharmacokinetics of the 4 HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors are reviewed. Clinical trials evaluating the hypocholesterolemic efficacy of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors are examined, and results on the comparative efficacy and safety of these agents are summarized. On a milligram-per-milligram basis, simvastatin is twice as potent as lovastatin and pravastatin. The hypocholesterolemic effects of fluvastatin appear to be approximately 30% less than that of lovastatin. In posttransplant patients receiving cyclosporine, safety has been documented for low doses of lovastatin and simvastatin, but when a higher dosage of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is warranted, pravastatin should be considered the drug of choice because of a lower incidence of myopathy. Relevant data on the incidence of adverse effects are presented. Pertinent outcomes data from clinical trials evaluating the effect of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors on atherosclerosis regression and coronary mortality, as well as published economic analyses of cholesterol-lowering agents, are summarized. Recommendations on the selection of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor in various clinical situations are provided. Conclusions: The literature supports the comparable safety and tolerability of all 4 currently available HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Therefore, the choice of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor should depend on the extent of cholesterol lowering needed to meet the recommended treatment goal established by the National Cholesterol Education Program. Direct comparative studies are needed to confirm the relative, long-term cost-effectiveness of the various HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia.

To help address the global growing demand for food and fiber, selective breeding programs aim to cultivate crops with higher yields and more resistance to stress. Measuring phenotypic traits needed for breeding programs is usually done manually and is labor-intensive, subjective, and lacks adequate temporal resolution. This paper presents a Multipurpose Autonomous Robot of Intelligent Agriculture (MARIA), an open source differential drive robot that is able to navigate autonomously indoors and outdoors while conducting plant morphological trait phenotyping and soil sensing. For the design of the rover, a drive system was developed using the Robot Operating System (ROS), which allows for autonomous navigation using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). For phenotyping, the robot was fitted with an actuated LiDAR unit and a depth camera that can estimate morphological traits of plants such as volume and height. A three degree-of-freedom manipulator mounted on the mobile platform was designed using Dynamixel servos that can perform soil sensing and sampling using off-the-shelf and 3D printed components. MARIA was able to navigate both indoors and outdoors with an RMSE of 0.0156 m and 0.2692 m, respectively. Additionally, the onboard actuated LiDAR sensor was able to estimate plant volume and height with an average error of 1.76% and 3.2%, respectively. The manipulator performance tests on soil sensing was also satisfactory. This paper presents a design for a differential drive mobile robot built from off-the-shelf components that makes it replicable and available for implementation by other researchers. The validation of this system suggests that it may be a valuable solution to address the phenotyping bottleneck by providing a system capable of navigating through crop rows or a greenhouse while conducting phenotyping and soil measurements.

"The Coronavirus-induced pandemic has had a significant impact on the physical and psychological functioning of the entire world’s population. Research has indicated that besides the physical threat to health itself, the implications of constant uncertainty, separation from and/or loss of loved ones, loss of freedom to travel, shortage of food and financial resources, disruptions of usual life-routines, changing work and learning habits, further aggravate the effect of initial stressors, leading to increased levels of depressive symptoms, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, lowered levels of well-being, and confusion. Unfortunately, just as the two-years long pandemic ended, the Ukrainian war started, and the Romanian population, since our country borders Ukraine, has experienced a novel type of stress, that of the possibility of being attacked, affected economically. Almost simultaneously, the online education has returned to classical form of teaching, amidst semester, being another stress factor for students. Our results indicated that the two-year long pandemic was considered as having the greatest impact by almost two-thirds of the students. Furthermore, the lack of self-efficacy component of perceived stress was a constant and strong predictor of all components of well-being (subjective and psychological), and perceived helplessness for subjective well-being. Regarding emotion regulation strategies refocus on planning, positive reevaluation, self- and other blame, withdrawal and actively approaching the source of stress proved to be the most important predictors. The results of our investigation may be beneficial for the tailoring of future prevention and intervention programs that would target the enhancement of psychological adaptation of students. Keywords: stress, depressive symptoms, uncertainty, emotion regulation strategies, subjective and psychological well-being, post COVID-19. "

Full textAbstract:
Background Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is an extremely prevalent and debilitating mental health disorder. Currently, the gold standard treatment for GAD is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or pharmacotherapy. The most common medications used to treat GAD are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. While CBT is the gold standard treatment for GAD, it is costly, time-consuming, and often inaccessible. Fortunately, the electronic delivery of CBT (e-CBT) has emerged as a promising solution to address these barriers. e-CBT has shown to offer comparable results to in-person CBT while improving accessibility for patients and time efficiency for clinicians. Objective This study aims to investigate the treatment efficacy of e-CBT compared to and in conjunction with pharmacotherapy for GAD. Methods This study will use a quasi-experimental design to allow patients the freedom to choose which treatment modality they would like to receive. Participants with a diagnosis of GAD will be enrolled in 1 of 3 possible treatment arms: (1) e-CBT, (2) medication, or (3) a combination of e-CBT and medication. The e-CBT program will include a 12-week psychotherapy program delivered through the Online Psychotherapy Tool—a secure, cloud-based, digital mental health platform. The treatment efficacy of e-CBT will be compared with that of medication alone and medication in combination with e-CBT. Results The study received ethics approval in April 2019 and participant recruitment began in June 2019. Participant recruitment has been conducted through social media advertisements, physical advertisements, and physician referrals. To date, 146 participants (e-CBT: n=53; medication: n=49; combination: n=44) have been recruited. Data collection is expected to conclude by June 2021, and data analysis is expected to be completed by October 2021. Linear regression (for continuous outcomes) and binomial regression (for categorical outcomes) analysis will be conducted using interpretive qualitative methods. Conclusions If either the efficacy of e-CBT is shown to be comparable to that of medication or the effects of both treatments are augmented when used in tandem, these findings could have major implications on the mental health care system. e-CBT is a more accessible and affordable treatment that could increase mental health care capacity 4-fold if proven viable.

Full textAbstract:
The author reflects about a psychoanalytic interpretation of The Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari), considered by many to be the greatest novel of the ancient Japanese literature. It was composed by Murasaki Shikibu (about 1.000 A.D.), a lady-in-waiting for the Empress Akiko at the imperial court in Heian, now Kyoto. The tale is mostly full of poetical explorations about themes of love, affection, friendship, loyalty, into the social political Heian’s world and in conformity with Buddhist conviction in the vanity of the world. A comprehensive reading of the text including Murasaki’s life and her background, gives us the possibility to catch the human attempt to cure depression through narration. Kirsch et al. in 2002 studied all 47 randomized clinical trials (RCT) submitted by pharmaceutical companies to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of the six most prescribed Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants. The mean difference between drug and placebo was less than 2 points on the 21-item (62-point) Hamilton Depression Scale (which is the version used in many of the these RTCs). This superiority to placebo, although statistically significant, was not clinically significant. Furthermore, 57% of the trials funded by the pharmaceutical industry failed to show a significant difference between drug and placebo. Most of these negative data were not published and were accessible only by gaining access, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, to FDA documents. This research is discussed in light of the wider problem of the roles of medications and interpersonal relationship in psychiatric practice. The polarity of relatedness and self-definition («anaclitic» and «introjective»), fundamental to the development of psychoanalytic theory and consistent with a number of other approaches to personality theory, provides the basis for articulating aspects of personality development, variations in normal personality organization, the explanation of a wide-range of psychopathology, and aspects of the therapeutic process in both short and long-term treatments. The contributions of this fundamental polarity to these aspects of personality theory speak to the validity of this theoretical model and the importance of the fundamental polarity of relatedness and self-definition. The formulations and findings discussed in this paper indicate that there is much to be gained by going beyond the symptom focus of contemporary diagnostic nosology presented in DSM-III and DSM-IV, and seeking instead to identify underlying principles of personality organization. Empirical evidence shows that empirically supported treatments are helpful for many mental disorders. However, in most countries the great majority of people do not have access to psychological therapies. The English Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) program aims to improve the access to psychological therapies by training over 10,500 new therapists in empirically supported treatments and deploying them for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. IAPT treats over 560,000 patients per year, obtains clinical outcome data on 98.5% of them, and this information is in the public domain. Around half of these patients recover and about two thirds of them show benefits. The clinical and economic arguments on which IAPT is based are presented, along with details on the service model, how the program is implemented, and findings updated to July 2017. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
