The Promotion of Sustainable Diets in the Healthcare System and Implications for Health Professionals: A Scoping Review.

The impacts of the current global food system are already visible in the environment and in the health of the population. The promotion of sustainable diets is key to counter the negative consequences. The healthcare system could be a powerful tool to educate patients by guiding their diets towards sustainability. This study aimed to assess the size and scope of the available literature regarding the promotion of sustainable diets in the healthcare system and to obtain a reliable approximation of the processes and roles related to sustainable diet promotion within healthcare systems. A scoping review where online databases were used to identify English written scientific and grey literature published between 2000–2019 was carried out. The analytical–synthetic approach was used for data charting. Twelve studies were included that were published between 2007–2020. The data highlight education, community and clinical health services, community engagement and policy advocacy, and governance as main action areas along with two transversal aspects, social support, and gender. A systemic approach to the food system is emphasized. Evidence suggests that health professionals have the potential to drive a paradigm shift in food–health environments. Currently, however, their role and potential impact is underestimated within healthcare systems. This review has identified a framework with key areas where processes need to be developed to guarantee sustainable diet promotion in healthcare services.

Teaching job performance and its impact on the Synthetic Index of Educational Quality (ISCE) in the Municipality of Cucuta during the 2016-2019 period.

The objective of this work is to determine the teaching work performance and its incidence in improving the synthetic index of educational quality in the municipality of Cucuta during the period 2016-2019.
 The current Teaching Professionalization Statute has been characterized as one of the most important elements in education in recent years, being the evaluation and teaching quality, transversal aspects to specifically define the improvement of the ISCE as a public policy in the city of Cucuta. Through an analytical study of Decree 1278, it is possible to glimpse that it contains specific elements that allow to delimit with great success an educational quality standard in relation to the professionalization of the teacher, being the evaluation module the appropriate mechanism to achieve a clearer view of the state of the quality of the Educational Institution where the teacher works. Likewise, it is considered that the teacher is suitable as long as he or she passes the performance evaluation sufficiently, however, it should be appreciated that it is important that this evaluation allows evidence of a proper quality standard that is reflected in the ISCE of the Institution.
 Based on the information collection instruments used, very appropriate elements for the investigation can be extracted; from these it was possible to recognize several aspects. The surveys carried out make it possible to establish that ultimately job performance directly affects the improvement of the Synthetic Index of Educational Quality, Also, in accordance with the information mechanisms obtained, specifically speaking of the databases provided by the ETC (Entity Certified in Education) it is possible to identify that the educational institutions of Cucuta have obtained a significant development compared to previous years. Regarding the performance of the evaluation system, it was evidenced that the process is indeed adequate to measure the behavioral and functional elements; however, it is appreciated that special attention is required to the agreements and commitments at the beginning of the school year in order to define the goals and purposes of the Educational Institution. In addition to the above, it is possible to glimpse with a wide margin of success that the classroom teachers evaluated during the period between 2016 and 2019 have managed to gradually improve, which implies that the measurement instruments can produce good results in direct correspondence with development institutional established by the ISCE in each of the official and private educational establishments in Cucuta.

Biomedical Applications of Reactive Oxygen Species Generation by Metal Nanoparticles.

The design, synthesis and characterization of new nanomaterials represents one of the most dynamic and transversal aspects of nanotechnology applications in the biomedical field. New synthetic and engineering improvements allow the design of a wide range of biocompatible nanostructured materials (NSMs) and nanoparticles (NPs) which, with or without additional chemical and/or biomolecular surface modifications, are more frequently employed in applications for successful diagnostic, drug delivery and therapeutic procedures. Metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) including metal NPs, metal oxide NPs, quantum dots (QDs) and magnetic NPs, thanks to their physical and chemical properties have gained much traction for their functional use in biomedicine. In this review it is highlighted how the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in many respects could be considered a negative aspect of the interaction of MNPs with biological matter, may be a surprising nanotechnology weapon. From the exchange of knowledge between branches such as materials science, nanotechnology, engineering, biochemistry and medicine, researchers and clinicians are setting and standardizing treatments by tuning ROS production to induce cancer or microbial cell death.

Holistic Approach of Swiss Fetal Progenitor Cell Banking: Optimizing Safe and Sustainable Substrates for Regenerative Medicine and Biotechnology.

Safety, quality, and regulatory-driven iterative optimization of therapeutic cell source selection has constituted the core developmental bedrock for primary fetal progenitor cell (FPC) therapy in Switzerland throughout three decades. Customized Fetal Transplantation Programs were pragmatically devised as straightforward workflows for tissue procurement, traceability maximization, safety, consistency, and robustness of cultured progeny cellular materials. Whole-cell bioprocessing standardization has provided plethoric insights into the adequate conjugation of modern biotechnological advances with current restraining legislative, ethical, and regulatory frameworks. Pioneer translational advances in cutaneous and musculoskeletal regenerative medicine continuously demonstrate the therapeutic potential of FPCs. Extensive technical and clinical hindsight was gathered by managing pediatric burns and geriatric ulcers in Switzerland. Concomitant industrial transposition of dermal FPC banking, following good manufacturing practices, demonstrated the extensive potential of their therapeutic value. Furthermore, in extenso, exponential revalorization of Swiss FPC technology may be achieved via the renewal of integrative model frameworks. Consideration of both longitudinal and transversal aspects of simultaneous fetal tissue differential processing allows for a better understanding of the quasi-infinite expansion potential within multi-tiered primary FPC banking. Multiple fetal tissues (e.g., skin, cartilage, tendon, muscle, bone, lung) may be simultaneously harvested and processed for adherent cell cultures, establishing a unique model for sustainable therapeutic cellular material supply chains. Here, we integrated fundamental, preclinical, clinical, and industrial developments embodying the scientific advances supported by Swiss FPC banking and we focused on advances made to date for FPCs that may be derived from a single organ donation. A renewed model of single organ donation bioprocessing is proposed, achieving sustained standards and potential production of billions of affordable and efficient therapeutic doses. Thereby, the aim is to validate the core therapeutic value proposition, to increase awareness and use of standardized protocols for translational regenerative medicine, potentially impacting millions of patients suffering from cutaneous and musculoskeletal diseases. Alternative applications of FPC banking include biopharmaceutical therapeutic product manufacturing, thereby indirectly and synergistically enhancing the power of modern therapeutic armamentariums. It is hypothesized that a single qualifying fetal organ donation is sufficient to sustain decades of scientific, medical, and industrial developments, as technological optimization and standardization enable high efficiency.

Dimensional and Physical Properties of Temperate Highland Rice Varieties

During the present investigation, eight commonly grown rice varieties of temperate highland regions of Kashmir were selected to study different quality attributes. The dimensional and physical properties of selected rice varieties differed significantly (p≤0.05). With regard to colour coordinates (L*, a*, b*, chroma and hue angle), all the varieties showed significant (p≤0.05) variation except b* value. Very high significant (P≤0.01) correlations were noticed amongst the different dimensional and physical attributes. Based on the nature and magnitude of character association recorded in the present study, the inference drawn was that dimensional properties like length, width, L/W ratio, thickness, equivalent diameter (De), geometric diameter (Dg), arithmetic diameter (Da), area of transverse surface (At), surface area (S) and aspect ratio (Ra); physical properties like 1000 grain weight, bulk density (BD), true density (TD), hardness and chalkiness should be used to formulate the selection indices for development of quality rice for temperate highland regions.

Actions for enhancing resilience among adolescents

The consolidation of practices aimed at enhancing resilience corroborates the current paradigm shift within the scope of adolescent health promotion, in which the individual's singularity is considered, as well as his/her relationship with the environment. The scope of the undertaking was to identify protective factors involved in the process of resilience among adolescents. This paper reviews indexed publications describing adolescent care models and interventions. The analysis of the texts consisted of: 1) comparing the similarities and differences between the concepts used; and 2) identifying, grouping and compiling the most cited protection factors. A total of 17 articles that strive to enhance resilience in six different practical contexts were analyzed. Based on the protection factors found, 17 actions were generated to guide the development of educational works in health. Protective factors related to "Problem solving", "Valorization of the individual" and "Ability in communication" were identified in several contexts of study on adolescence. These factors represent transversal aspects necessary to enhance resilience and should be stimulated together in order to foster the healthy development of adolescents.

An alternative to broaden the school-promoted meanings of mathematics in electrical sciences from socioepistemology

This paper is the result of a research done from the Socioepistemological Theory of Mathematics Education, perspective in which we enquire about the reasons to study trigonometric Fourier series in electrical engineering, and what historical and epistemological conditions can be considered to develop more profound meanings when this topic is addressed in class. The findings in this research are four notions for the social construction of mathematics knowledge found in a qualitative historical-epistemological analysis of the original works of nineteenth century scientists. These notions consider transversal aspects from the scientists’ works: the use of analogies from heat to electricity give mathematical support to their findings; the shift from a static to a dynamic paradigm about electricity; the concern of a steady state as the situational context in which the knowledge was built; and the presence/confrontation of an epistemological obstacle. We propose that these conditions can be used to broaden the meanings overshadowed by mathematics courses in schools that primarily promote the operational aspect of mathematics.

Improved SDOF and numerical approach to study the dynamic response of reinforced concrete columns subjected to close-in blast loading

In this study, the blast performance of steel reinforced concrete (RC) columns was experimentally and analytically investigated. The experiments consisted of 11 one-half-scale columns subjected to different levels of blast loading using TNT explosives. The experimental results show that when the scaled distance is relatively large, less damage occurs to steel RC columns with higher axial loads than to columns with smaller axial loads at the same blast level. As the scaled distance decreases, the axial load increases the level of damage to RC columns. In addition, the equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) approach for determining the dynamic response of RC columns against combined axial and blast-induced transverse loads was improved. Nonlinear section and member analyses were incorporated into the suggested SDOF method by considering the effect of axial load and complex features of the material behavior, the high strain-rate effect and the column geometry. The SDOF model was validated by comparing the maximum displacements obtained from the SDOF analysis with experimental data from blast testing of RC columns. Parametric studies were also performed to investigate the effects of axial load, the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, transverse reinforcement ratio, aspect ratio and boundary conditions. In order to consider the local damage effect, the numerical study was undertaken to investigate the effects of transverse reinforcement spacing on the blast resistance of RC columns using LS-DYNA.

Coupled fluid and energy flow in fabrication of microstructured optical fibres

We consider the role of heating and cooling in the steady drawing of a long and thin viscous thread with an arbitrary number of internal holes of arbitrary shape. The internal holes and the external boundary evolve as a result of the axial drawing and surface-tension effects. The heating and cooling affects the evolution of the thread because both the viscosity and surface tension of the thread are assumed to be functions of the temperature. We use asymptotic techniques to show that, under a suitable transformation, this complicated three-dimensional free boundary problem can be formulated in such a way that the transverse aspect of the flow can be reduced to the solution of a standard Stokes flow problem in the absence of axial stretching. The solution of this standard problem can then be substituted into a system of three ordinary differential equations that completely determine the flow. We use this approach to develop a very simple numerical method that can determine the way that thermal effects impact on the drawing of threads by devices that either specify the fibre tension or the draw ratio. We also develop a numerical method to solve the inverse problem of determining the initial cross-sectional geometry, draw tension and, importantly, heater temperature to obtain a desired cross-sectional shape and change in cross-sectional area at the device exit. This precisely allows one to determine the pattern of air holes in the preform that will achieve the desired hole pattern in the stretched fibre.

Three-dimensional soft tissue changes according to skeletal changes after mandibular setback surgery by using cone-beam computed tomography and a structured light scanner

BackgroundTo evaluate the three-dimensional (3D) changes after mandibular setback surgery (MSS) in skeletal Class III malocclusion using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a structured light-based scanner.MethodsTwenty-eight adult Korean patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion treated by MSS were evaluated. CBCT and facial scan images were recorded one week before and six months after surgery. To use an identical 3D coordinate system, superimposition was performed, and nine skeletal and 18 soft tissue landmarks were identified. Changes in the landmarks and correlation coefficients and ratios between hard and soft tissue changes were evaluated. Paired t test and Pearson’s correlation test were performed.ResultsAfter MSS, the amount of transverse correction was 2.45 mm; mandibular setback, 5.80 mm; and vertical reduction, 1.64 mm at the menton, on average. In the transverse axis, there were significant changes and correlations in the lips and chin and an increasing gradient of ratios from the lower lip to the chin. In the anteroposterior axis, the lower lip and chin moved backward significantly and showed notable correlation with hard tissue movement. In the vertical axis, significant upward movement was observed in the landmarks related to the chin, but only lower facial height was significantly decreased.ConclusionsSoft tissue changes according to hard tissue movement after MSS exhibited a distinct pattern of an increasing gradient from the lips to the chin in a transverse aspect.

Bending and buckling of three-dimensional graphene foam plates

Abstract Bending and buckling behaviors of three-dimensional graphene foam (3D-GrF) plates are investigated in the framework of the two-variable refined plate theory (TRPT). The material properties of three-dimensional graphene foams vary continuously along thickness direction of the plate. The TRPT considers the effect of transverse shear strains that vary quadratically along the thickness of the plate. In addition, this theory does not need to consider the shear correction factor. By using Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations are obtained. Analytical solutions for the bending problem of 3D-GrF plates are derived via Navier’s method. Additionally, buckling problem of 3D-GrF plates with various boundary conditions are analyzed by employing the Galerkin method. Results obtained in this study are verified by comparing with the published ones. Finally, the influences of pore distribution, porosity coefficient, transverse distributed load, aspect ratio, length-to-thickness ratio, mode number and axial compression ratio on bending and buckling behaviors of 3D-GrF plates are discussed.

Piezoelectric property improvement of polyethylene ferroelectrets using postprocessing thermal‐pressure treatment

In this work, biaxially stretched polymer foams with well‐defined cellular structures were prepared from polyethylene via blown‐film extrusion and subjected to corona charging to produce a piezoelectric response. The charging parameters were first optimized in terms of charging voltage and needle distance, as well as the gas type and pressure to investigate their effect on the piezoelectric coefficient (d33). The results show that samples charged under nitrogen (N2) at 100 kPa had better d33 coefficient than those charged under ambient air or N2 at 20 kPa. Moreover, 2 different thermal pressure treatments were imposed to obtain an optimized eye‐like cellular structure with different cell aspect ratios (AR). The results showed that when the cells were elongated in both the longitudinal and transverse directions (higher AR), higher d33 coefficients were achieved. From all the samples produced, the best results were obtained for a longitudinal aspect ratio (AR‐L) of 7.1, a transversal aspect ratio (AR‐T) of 4.6, and a relative foam density of 0.52 leading to a d33 coefficient of 935 pC/N. This coefficient was further increased using reverse charging and multilayered films, reaching a maximum of 2550 pC/N. This value is much higher than typical ones reported so far for any polyethylene and polypropylene ferroelectrets. These results could increase the use of polyethylene in piezoelectric applications as these materials are very attractive for the large‐scale production of electret‐based sensors and transducers due to their low cost and easy processing.

Rivulet flow of generalized Newtonian fluids

Steady unidirectional gravity-driven flow of a uniform thin rivulet (i.e. a rivulet with small transverse aspect ratio) of a generalised Newtonian fluid down a vertical planar substrate is considered. The parametric solution for any generalised Newtonian fluid whose viscosity can be expressed as a function of the shear rate, and the explicit solution for any generalised Newtonian fluid whose viscosity can be expressed as a function of the extra stress are obtained. These general solutions are used to describe rivulet flow of Carreau and Ellis fluids, highlighting the similarities and differences between the behaviour of these two fluids. In addition, the general behaviour of rivulets of nearly Newtonian fluids and of rivulets with small or large prescribed flux, as well as the behaviour of rivulets of strongly shear-thinning Carreau and Ellis fluids, are also described. It is found that whereas the monotonic dependence of the viscosity of a Carreau fluid on its three non-dimensional parameters and of an Ellis fluid on two of its three non-dimensional parameters leads to the expected dependence of the behaviour of the rivulet on these parameters (namely that increasing the viscosity of the fluid leads to a larger rivulet), the non-monotonic dependence of the viscosity of an Ellis fluid on the non dimensional parameter that measures the degree of shear thinning leads to a more complicated dependence of the behaviour of the rivulet on this parameter. In particular, it is also found that when the maximum extra stress in the rivulet is sufficiently large a rivulet of an Ellis fluid in the strongly shear-thinning limit in which this parameter becomes large comprises two regions with different viscosities. In the general case of non-zero viscosity in the limit of large extra stress the two regions have different constant viscosities, whereas in the special case of zero viscosity in the limit of large extra stress one region has constant viscosity and the other has a non-constant power-law viscosity, leading to a plug-like velocity profile with large magnitude in the narrow central region of the rivulet.

Facilitators and barriers to modifying dietary and hygiene behaviours as adjuvant treatment in patients with depression in primary care: a qualitative study

BackgroundMajor depression is a highly prevalent condition. Its pathogenesis is related to a wide variety of biological and psychosocial factors and among these is factors related to lifestyle. Lifestyle-based interventions seem to be appropriate strategies as coadjutant treatment. The objective of this study is to explore and identify expectations and experiences of both patients and healthcare professionals that can point to the main barriers and facilitators with regard to the promotion of healthy dietary and hygiene behaviours in patients suffering from major depression.MethodsA qualitative design was used to collect information from a wide range of purposefully and theoretically guided samples of depressed patients and health professionals from Primary Care (PC). Both in-depth interviews and discussion groups were used. A standardized protocol was designed to guide the interviews and groups, including the preparation of a topic list to be addressed, with previously tested, open suggestions that could be of interest. A thematic analysis was performed from grounded theory in order to explore, develop and define until saturation the emergent categories of analysis derived from the individual interview and group data.ResultsBoth patients as well as PC professionals noted a series of central aspects with respect to the implementation of a programme for the acquisition of healthy dietary and hygiene habits for depressive patients, which may be organized around ‘personal’, ‘programmatic’, and ‘transversal’ aspects. As for the personal aspects, categories regarding ‘patient history’, and ‘disposition’ were found; the programmatic aspects included categories such as ‘presentation and monitoring’, and modification of ‘cognitive’ and ‘behavioural’ habits; whereas the transversal aspects comprised the possibilities of ‘social support’ and defining categories of ‘objectives’.ConclusionThe implementation of intervention programmes that combine dietary and hygiene-related factors in patients with depression is complex, given the nature of the disorder itself, and its symptoms such as apathy and feelings of guilt or incompetence. Key issues exist for the success of the intervention, such as the simplicity of guidelines, tailoring through motivational interviewing, prolonged and intense monitoring throughout the different stages of the disorder, and the provision of adequate feedback and social support. PC could be an appropriate level in which to implement these interventions.

Estéticas comunitarias y colaborativas y desarrollo a escala humana

<p>La actividad de los artistas plásticos y visuales, así como cualquier actividad humana está inscrita en un determinado modelo de desarrollo de la sociedad, y esto implica desde el punto de vista de la enseñanza universitaria que es necesario fomentar capacidades para reflexionar acerca de las diferentes maneras en que nuestro quehacer profesional se insertará en la vida social, económica y cultural, favoreciendo un determinado modelo de desarrollo.</p><p>Es verdad que la continua expansión en las últimas décadas de las prácticas artísticas hacia nuevos espacios de intercambio y nuevos modos de hacer ha puesto de manifiesto una mayor preocupación por el lugar, los contextos de intervención/emplazamientos y por ende por lo local.</p><p>Sin embargo, desde el punto de vista de las implicaciones de la globalización, ponemos en consideración un acercamiento a las teorías del desarrollo, de modo que cualquier práctica artística, pero especialmente las vertientes que buscan interactuar en contextos sociales, se planteen de forma crítica, el papel, la incidencia y la responsabilidad que tienen en el apoyo, redefinición o construcción de un modelo de vida, dentro de su sociedad.</p><p>A lo largo de nuestra investigación doctoral, en la que hemos puesto en diálogo áreas tan disímiles como las estéticas comunitarias y colaborativas y el codesarrollo, hemos identificado posibles zonas de contacto interdisciplinar entre la teoría del Desarrollo a Escala Humana (DEH) del economista chileno Manfred Max-Neef y algunos aspectos transversales que complejizan el entramado entre las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas y sus actores, a saber, lo contextual, lo relacional y lo representacional. Este texto explicará en detalle los fundamentos del DEH para alimentar desde él una serie de preguntas y reflexiones sobre los modos en que las prácticas artísticas inciden a niveles micro y macro en sus contextos de intervención.</p>

Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) Concepts and Models under Constraints: Literature Review

Globalization has had a significant impact on company’s management, particularly in the supply chain (lead time, investment in production capacity and technology, organization & management ...). The sales and operations planning (S&OP) include all the processes that link the strategic objectives of the enterprise with the production plan. The impact of the S&OP on operational performance was consistently and significantly demonstrated in the operational aspects of production ; quality (conformity of production, product quality and reliability), delivery (the delivery agility, reliability of supply, manufacturing deadlines, lead times), stocks (reduction of inventory levels, inventory optimization) and flexibility (flexible volume and mix). Our objective in this paper is to present, in the first part, a literature overview of the sales and operations planning, and various research and models developed. In the second part, we will emphasize the transversal aspect of our research that involves both operational issues, tactical and strategic in a context subject to different constraints.

Reconciling activity-based descriptions of competence with professional work

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the problems of applying competence standards to professional-level work, noting limitations in functional approaches and drawing on developments in professions and on a recent Erasmus+ project to propose a more adequate alternative.Design/methodology/approachAn approach to describing competence based on previously reported developments in some self-governing, principally British professions was used to inform an Erasmus+ project that created competence standards for five higher-level occupations in different European countries.FindingsThe original developments in professions and further work through the project both endorse a model of competence that is based on standards of practice, applies holistically to professional or occupational fields rather than focusing on work roles and functions, respects contextual factors in defining competent action, and necessitates situational interpretation and judgement.Practical implicationsDescriptions of professional competence need to avoid being overly constrained by assumptions about the roles that practitioners might perform or the context in which practice takes place. They need to reflect the ethos and ethics of the field as well as more transversal aspects of professionalism. Descriptions of this type are likely to reflect factors that are also valued in higher education.Originality/valueThe model of competence that is proposed appears to have a good level of validity for high-level professional work, and provides an approach to describing practice that is not limited to particular national contexts.

Dynamic instability of spinning launch vehicles modeled as thin-walled composite beams

This paper presents the results of the dynamic stability analysis of a flexible spinning launch vehicle subjected to thrust modeled as a thin-walled composite beam with circular cross section. Due to the presence of gyroscopic forces, we mainly aimed to find divergence and/or flutter instabilities and establish the stability boundaries of the spinning beam. For this purpose, we implemented a circumferentially uniform stiffness (CUS) layup configuration to exhibit the coupled motion of bending–bending–shear. The solution of the eigenvalue problem is handled by the extended Galerkin method (EGM), and we computed the results addressing the effects of various parameters such as spin speed, axial load, ply angle, aspect ratio and transverse shear on the dynamic stability of the beam. Insights revealed by this study contribute to the design of advanced aerospace structures modeled as thin-walled composite beams reflecting the potential influence of transverse shear and aspect ratio on dynamic stability characteristics. A notable contribution is that we show that divergence/flutter instabilities can be delayed or even avoided using the directionality property of composite materials.
