Metody stosowane w praktyce pediatrycznej do oceny stopnia odżywienia dzieci
No full textINTRODUCTION. Childhood overweight is now a major health problem,
but it may be underdiagnosed by the paediatricians. The
aim of our study was to determine which method (BMI charts, Wt
and Ht charts, Wt alone, Visual impression) and how frequently
was used by the paediatricians.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. 73 paediatricians and paediatric endocrinologists
completed a questionnaire using two different case
vignette version. They received the same hypothetical overweight child’s height and weight data, percentile, charts (Ht and Wt Group)
or her BMI, percentile and chart (BMI Group). Respondents
rated levels of fatness and concern about medical and psychological
consequences by using Linkert scales and the frequency of
use of methods to determine overweight.
RESULTS. The BMI Group rated the hypothetical child with a higher
mean on a scale of fatness (p < 0,05). There were no statistically
differences in level of concern about all consequences between
groups of respondents. All groups of respondents statistically
frequently use Wt and Ht charts (combined) than BMI charts
(level in Linkert scale 4,8 vs. 3,9 p < 0,001). 38% of respondents
reported “always” and 5,5% “never” using BMI.
CONCLUSIONS. BMI charts give greater estimation of a weight
problem than weight and height charting, but BMI is inconsistently
used.WSTĘP. Otyłość i nadwaga u dzieci jest stale narastającym problemem
zdrowotnym, nie zawsze dostrzeganym przez lekarzy pediatrów.
Celem pracy było ustalenie, która z metod oceny stanu odżywienia
u dzieci [siatki centylowe dla wskaźnika masy ciała (BMI,
body mass index), siatki centylowe dla wzrostu i masy ciała, siatki
centylowe tylko dla masy ciała lub ocena wyglądu zewnętrznego]
jest najczęściej wykorzystywana przez lekarzy pediatrów.
MATERIAŁ I METODY. W badaniu wzięła udział grupa 73 lekarzy
pediatrów i endokrynologów dziecięcych, którzy losowo otrzymali
do oceny jedną z dwóch wersji danych naniesionych na
siatki centylowe, odnoszących się do tej samej hipotetycznej
10-letniej otyłej dziewczynki. W pierwszej wersji podano wartość
wzrostu i masy ciała (Grupa wzrost/masa ciała), w drugiej — wartość
obliczonego wskaźnika masy ciała (Grupa BMI). Do obu
dołączono krótka ankietę. Respondenci za pomocą punktowych
skal Linkerta oceniali stopień nadwagi, a także odpowiadali na
pytania dotyczące negatywnych konsekwencji — dla zdrowia
i psychiki — stanu odżywienia ocenianego dziecka oraz częstości
stosowania przez siebie poszczególnych metod w celu oceny
stopnia nadwagi u dzieci.
WYNIKI. Grupa BMI istotnie częściej prawidłowo oceniła dziewczynkę
jako otyłą w porównaniu do Grupy wzrost/masa ciała (p < 0,05).
Nie było znamiennych statystycznie różnic pod względem zaniepokojenia
konsekwencjami dla zdrowia i psychiki ocenianej dziewczynki.
Wszyscy respondenci podali, że znamiennie częściej wykorzystują
siatki dla wzrostu i masy ciała niż siatki dla BMI (skala
Linkerta 4,8 vs. 3,9; p < 0,001). Tylko 38% ankietowanych zawsze
używało siatek centylowych dla BMI, a 5,5% pediatrów przyznało,
że nigdy ich nie stosowało.
WNIOSKI. Mimo że ocenę stopnia odżywienia u dzieci poprzez obliczenie
wskaźnika BMI i porównanie jego wartości z normami na
siatce centylowej uznaje się za najbardziej przydatną, metoda ta
jest zbyt rzadko stosowana przez lekarzy pediatrów, co może ujemnie
wpływać na częstość rozpoznawania otyłości u dzieci
OME-NGFF:a next-generation file format for expanding bioimaging data access strategies
No full textThe rapid pace of innovation in biological imaging and the diversity of its applications have prevented the establishment of a community-agreed standardized data format. We propose that complementing established open formats such as OME-TIFF and HDF5 with a next-generation file format such as Zarr will satisfy the majority of use cases in bioimaging. Critically, a common metadata format used in all these vessels can deliver truly findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable bioimaging data.</p
Metadata matters:access to image data in the real world
No full textData sharing is important in the biological sciences to prevent duplication of effort, to promote scientific integrity, and to facilitate and disseminate scientific discovery. Sharing requires centralized repositories, and submission to and utility of these resources require common data formats. This is particularly challenging for multi-dimensional microscopy image data, which are acquired from a variety of platforms with a myriad of proprietary file formats (PFFs). In this paper, we describe an open standard format that we have developed for microscopy image data. We call on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats. This will build the foundation for an open image data repository. © 2010 Linkert et al.

Analisa Persepsi Masyarakat Terhadap Dampak Lingkungan Usaha Sapi Perah di Kecamatan Pancoran
No full textThe dairy cattle business in DKI Jakarta has been hereditary and has been increasing. This increase also has an impact on the environment around the farm, including pollution due to unpleasant odors, water pollution, soil pollution and the presence of annoying flies. The public's perception of the dairy business is very diverse, therefore the author conducted an analysis of the public's perception of the dairy business. Data collection was carried out in Pancoran District, South Jakarta, DKI Jakarta. Data was obtained through distributing questionnaires to residents and after interviews were processed using the ultrasound method and Linkert Scale. From the results of data processing, it was found that the community was disturbed by pollution due to unpleasant odors, water pollution, soil pollution and the presence of annoying flies. The proposal to overcome environmental impacts is made by turning cow faeces into organic fertilizer and biogas. Handling environmental impacts well can have a social impact and also provide many benefits to the surrounding community
Aircraft Interior Design and Satisfaction for Different Activities: A New Approach Toward Understanding Passenger Experience
No full textAmong airlines and aircraft manufacturers there is much attention for passenger experience. However, there is not much literature on how the activities of passengers can be supported by the aircraft interior. The current study focuses on the need finding and requirements analysis of flight passengers. Twenty-three activities were defined based on retrospective interviews and brainstorming sessions. Respondents were asked to rate their overall perception related to the importance of each of those 23 activities on a Linkert scale, from "not at all important" to "extremely important". On a separate question they were also asked to rate their overall satisfaction by each of the same activities, ranging from "not at all satisfactory" to "extremely satisfactory". These scales were assessed for those who travel alone, together or within groups, and those who travel with kids under six years. Five of the most common cabin configurations for long haul flights were also presented to respondents, and based on their choices, seat choice behavior of each passenger type in each row was analyzed. The results show that resting and relaxing, using the restroom and sleeping were the most important activities to all passengers, while talking to neighbors and other group mates, as well as playing or working with cellphones were the least important activities. In addition, passengers' satisfaction while watching in-flight movies, thinking and observing as well as checking real-time flight status were the most satisfactory among other activities. Sleeping and in-/egress of the seat were the least satisfactory activities. Also, activities such as "taking care of family" are the least satisfactory in the context of long haul flight for group travelers. Group travelers' satisfaction rate by "Interacting with flight attendants" was also not the same as that of other travelers. Seat preferences in each configuration is very similar. individual and couple travelers are similar in preferring window and window-aisle seats, while for group travelers seating together is the first priority over seating next to a window.Applied Ergonomics and Desig
