Higher education institutions and their students face a wide range of infectious disease threats (IDTs). However, there is a lack of theory-driven research on how to provide communication for multiple IDTs to motivate protective action taking. To close this gap, this study focuses on college students and two IDT types: respiratory and sexually transmitted infections. We tested an IDT appraisal model with data from an online survey conducted at two U.S. universities with 842 students. Findings indicate that IDT type led to different patterns of threat appraisal and protective action taking intentions. More specifically, participants perceived sexually transmitted threats as significantly more predictable and more controllable than respiratory threats. Participants also had higher intention to take protective action in response to respiratory threats than sexually-transmitted threats. We also found that external attribution-dependent (EAD) emotions (i.e., anger, sadness, surprise, and confusion) and an internal-attribution-dependent (IAD) emotion (i.e., hope) were sequential mediators in the relationship between IDT appraisal and protective action taking intentions for both infectious disease types. Implications for IDT communication research and practice are discussed.

This article analyzes the relationship between the extractivist model in Ecuador and state violence against Amazonian women defenders based on the case of Nema Grefa, President of the Sapara Nation of Ecuador (NASE), who has been intimidated and threatened with death on several occasions. From the demand for protective action and request for precautionary measures in favor of the leader and the Sapara people. The analysis of this case discusses collective and women’s rights in a local justice scenario, where the articulation of indigenous organizations, organizations for the defense of women’s rights, ecofeminists and the Ombudsman’s Office (Defensoría del Pueblo) will be key.

Abstract The Central Region Headquarters of the National Weather Service (NWS) recently launched an experimental product that supplements traditional tornado and severe thunderstorm warning products with information about the potential impact of warned storms. As yet, however, we know relatively little about the influence of consequence-based messages on warning responsiveness. To address this gap, we fielded two surveys of U.S. residents that live in tornado-prone regions of the country. Both surveys contained an experiment wherein participants were randomly assigned a consequence-based tornado warning message and asked to indicate how they would respond if they were to receive such a warning. Respondents that were assigned to higher-impact categories were more likely choose protective action than respondents assigned to lower-impact categories. There was, however, a threshold beyond which escalating the projected consequences of the storm no longer increased the probability of protective action. To account for this, we show that the relationship between consequence-based messages and protective action depends on the type of action being considered. At lower levels of projected impact, increasing the expected consequences of the storm simultaneously increased the probability that respondents selected a “shelter in place” or “leave residence” option. At higher levels of projected impact, this relationship changed—increasing the projected consequences of the storm decreased the probability that respondents would shelter in place and increased the probability that they would leave their residence for what they perceived to be a safer location. In some severe storm situations, this behavior may increase rather than decrease the risks.

The possible significance of endogenous catecholamines in the production of hypothermic ventricular fibrillation has been investigated.It is shown that in dogs under pentobarbitone anesthesia, neither iproniazid nor phenoxybenzamine pretreatment reduces the incidence of ventricular fibrillation following coronary occlusion during hypothermia. Reserpine pretreatment markedly reduced both the catecholamines content of the left ventricle and the incidence of ventricular fibrillation. This protective action of reserpine can be counteracted by combined pretreatment with liothyronine sodium, although the catecholamines of the heart remained at a low level. Conversely, thyroidectomy and methimazole treatment also greatly reduced the incidence of ventricular fibrillation without significantly reducing cardiac catecholamines. These experiments reveal no correlation between the ventricular catecholamines content and the incidence of ventricular fibrillation. It is suggested that the protective effects of reserpine and thyroidectomy or antithyroid treatment might be due to depression of tissue metabolism.

Penetration Coefficient

Experimental studies have been conducted to determine the operational properties of fabrics used for the manufacture of protective masks. For the experimental study, 22 different fabrics were used, which are available in everyday life. Determination of the operational properties was carried out according to three indicators: the penetration coefficient of the test aerosol, paraffin oil (filtering property), breathing resistance (ergonomic property), resistance to dusting (protective action period) in accordance with the requirements of DSTU EN 149-2017 standard. According to the results of the experimental study to determine the operational properties of fabrics: breathing resistance, penetration coefficient and resistance to dust, it was found that out of the twenty-two samples tested, only eight can be used for the manufacture of protective masks, since their characteristics are able to provide a sufficient level of protection from minimal physiological impact on human (wool, two-thread cloth, velor, tricotin, jersey, frieze and satin). Theoretical calculation of the operational properties of protective masks, which can be made of these fabrics, based on experimental data allowed to make their compliance with the first class of protection according to the requirements of DSTU EN 149-2017. The scientific novelty is to clarify the relationship between the operational properties of fabrics and the operational properties of protective masks.

AbstractRecent proposals pin hopes on the 'responsibility to protect' (R2P) as holding tremendous promise for the protection of internally displaced persons (IDPs). This essay examines the relationship between R2P and IDP protection and explores the protection potential – and possible limitations – of marrying these two concepts. It traces their shared normative underpinnings, the historical roots of which run deep, and considers the added value that R2P can bring. It then reviews how the central tenets of R2P borrowed and built upon the conceptual framework that was crafted and cultivated over the preceding decade to guide international efforts for the protection of IDPs. Finally, it considers how R2P holds a potential key to unlock and unblock some of the persistent obstacles to an effective UN response for securing protection for IDPs, at least in certain situations when prompt protective action is particularly critical. The conclusion is that R2P and IDP protection are a good match overall, considering not only their commonalities and thus natural compatibility, but also the important ways in which they differ and can complement one another to ensure a more comprehensive protection response.

The effect of the nature and concentration of d-metal salts attached to synthetic zeolites NaA and KA on the kinetic and stoichiometric parameters of the chemisorption-catalytic oxidation of sulphur dioxide with air oxygen at ambient temperature was studied. It was found that the adsorption capacity of NaA zeolite relative to SO2 is 100 times higher than that of KA zeolite; the time of protective action of NaA and KA zeolites increases upon modification with transition metal salts and with an increase of their content in the compositions. It was shown that the formation of inner and outer sphere complexes and the relationship between them is determined by the nature and concentration of metal ions and by the nature of the carrier. It was proven that the chemisorption-catalytic process ends with the oxidation of SO2 to H2SO4.

The Relationship

The relationship between the morphology and protective action of hot-dip aluminizing coatings on Q235 steel have been investigated by SEM, EDS and EIS in 3.5 wt% NaCl aqueous solution. The results indicated that the anti-corrosion performance of the hot-dip aluminizing coatings using steel substrate rinsed by the distilled water at 25 oC was higher than that at 80 oC. The evolution of localized corrosion from pitting to exfoliation corrosion has been found on the aluminum coating surface during immersion, and corresponding equivalent circuit models were proposed to fit the EIS data in the initiation and propagation stages of corrosion process.

The Relationship

The heat, ultraviolet and riboflavin-sensitized visible inactivations of taka-amylase A are strongly inhibited by the presence of its substrate. The stabilization of the secondary structure of enzyme protein by the conformation change due to the formation of enzyme-substrate and -product complexes is responsible for the protection of enzyme from the heat inactivation. The photoinactivations are brought about by the combined effects of heat and photochemical processes. The observed protections from photoinactivations are due to the inhibition effects of substrate and its decomposition products on both processes. The thermodynamic quantities determined for the inactivation reactions throw some light on the relationship between the heat and photochemical processes, and on the mechanisms of the protective action of substrate.
