Quality of life in children with chronic kidney disease

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global burden on the healthcare system and significantly impacts the quality of life of children with the condition. Objective To assess quality of life in children with CKD as well as its relationship with sociodemographic, medical, and psychosocial factors. Methods This cross-sectional analytic study was conducted from June to November 2021 at Dr. Moh Hoesin Hospital, Palembang. Children with CKD aged 2–18 years were included by consecutive sampling. Parents and patients were asked to complete the PedsQL™ generic score scale version 4.0 questionnaire. Results We assessed quality of life in 112 children with CKD from parents’ and children’s reports in the PedsQL™ questionnaire. Physical and emotional parameters had the lowest scores. Based on parental reports, quality of life was significantly associated with disease severity (P=0.002), behavioral disorders (P=0.007), and sleep disturbances (P=0.001). Based on the children’s reports, the factors significantly associated with quality of life were anemia (P=0.044), sleep disturbances (P=0.024), and behavioral disorders (P=0.002). Almost one-third of children with CKD had general impairment of quality of life, both from parental reports (32.1%) and children’s reports (33.0%). Conclusion Disease severity, anemia, sleep disturbance, and behavioral disorders were all associated with poorer quality of life in children with CKD.
Oil Sands Reservoir Characterization A Case Study at Nexen/Opti Long Lake

The Athabasca oil sands contain more than a trillion barrels of oil within the Cretaceous McMurray Formation of northeastern Alberta. The McMurray Formation is generally considered to be a compound estuarine valley system characterised by multiple cuts and fills. It is bounded below by Devonian rocks at the pre-Cretaceous unconformity and above by the widespread transgressive marine shales and sands of the Wabiscaw Formation. In the Long Lake area, it is 60 to 100 m thick, with net pays of greater than 40m. Still, its complexity is legendary. Stacked channel deposition exhibits a high degree of reservoir variability both vertically and laterally making lithological predictability difficult.
ASSESSMENT OF GLEASON SCORE CONCORDANCE BETWEEN PROSTATE BIOPSY AND RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY PROSTAT BİYOPSİ VE RADİKAL PROSTATEKTOMİDE GLEASON

Aim: Prostate cancer is being diagnosed and graded by examining needle biopsies. As needle biopsies may represent the low percentage of general tumor histology, downgrading or upgrading can cause problems in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens. Our aim in this study was to put forth the concordance between needle biopsy and RP Gleason scores. Methods: The biopsy pathology results, and post-RP pathology results of 112 patients diagnosed as prostate cancer and underwent RP were revised and the concordance of the biopsy and RP Gleason score was analyzed by kappa statistics in addition to percentages of downgrading or upgrading rates. Results: The mean age, and PSA values of the patients were 64,4 (±6,2) years, and 11,7 (±9,2) ng/mL, respectively. There was a moderate agreement between biopsy and prostatectomy gleason scores(κ=0,452) and b etween Gleason groups Conclusions It is important for the urologists to be aware of the variety of Gleason score between biopsy results and prostatectomy specimens as needle biopsies represent small areas of tumors.
Regional Differentiation Characteristics of Precipitation Changing with Altitude in Xinjiang Region in Recent 50 Years

According to the rate of precipitation changing with altitude and the principle that a subzone must be contiguous,the 120 meteorological stations was divided into two types with six precipitation subzones in Xinjiang Region.There are three subzones below 2 500 m a.s. l. ,of which precipitation varies linearly with the altitude.There are three subzones above 2 500 m a.s. l. ,of which precipitation varies approximately as quadratic equation of altitude.When the variation of precipitation with altitude is linear,the maximum precipitation takes place in the mountaintop.Otherwise,the maximum precipitation takes place in the mountainside.What's more,the maximum precipitation altitude changes with season and drought degree.The maximum precipitation altitude in summer is higher than that in winter;and the drier the climate,the higher the altitude.The maximum precipitation altitude and precipitation amount has significant difference among the six precipitation subzones.The maximum precipitation altitude in Subzone 1 is 3 190 m a.s. l. ,with the mean annual precipitation of 226.9 mm;the maximum precipitation altitude in Subzone 4 is 3 332 m a.s. l. ,with the mean annual precipitation of 86.9 mm;the maximum precipitation altitude in Subzone 6 is 3 840 m a.s. l. ,with the mean annual precipitation of 36.4 mm.
Impact of Gender Orientation on Achievement Behaviour of Nigerian In-School Adolescents

This study investigated the impact of gender orientation on achievement behaviour of in-school adolescents. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study was ex-post facto design. The target population was 22,296 in-school adolescents in Obollo-Afor and Nsukka Education Zones of Enugu State, Nigeria. The sample for this study consisted of 816 masculine and feminine (determined from their scores on the Gender Orientation Scale-(GOS) in-school adolescents randomly drawn through random sampling from 12 public secondary schools in ObolloAfor and Nsukka Education Zones in Enugu State, Nigeria. Two instruments namely: Gender Orientation Scale (GOS) and Achievement Behaviour Questionnaire (ABQ) were developed, validated and used for the study. The internal consistency reliability co-efficient of the instruments obtained through Cronbach alpha method were 0.87 and 0.96 for GOSand ABQrespectively. The instruments were administered to the respondents through direct delivery, by the researcher and 3 research assistants. Mean and Standard Deviation scores were used to answer the research questions. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 probability level using Analysis of Variance Statistic. Results showed that gender orientation significantly impacts on the achievement behaviour of in-school adolescents. There were no significant interactions of gender orientation and school location on achievement behaviour of in-school adolescents. It was concluded that gender orientation significantly impacts on the achievement behaviour of in-school adolescents. Therefore, gender orientation is a critical factor that shapes the level of achievement, aspiration and goals attained by in-school adolescents. Among the educational implications is included that gender orientation is a major determining factor in the learning process, the in-school adolescents would aspire higher and achieve their full potentials if their gender orientation is definitive. Based on the findings it was recommended that the school authorities, teachers and stakeholders in the education sector should help in increasing the campaign of gender sensitivity in the contemporary learning environments. By so doing, instructional designers and textbook writers might adopt gender sensitive illustrations in pictorial representations in the learning materials to minimize gender stereotypingin learning environments.
Customers Perception on Ease of Use of Internet Banking in Commercial Banks in Kenya

: Internet banking allows banks to provide information and offer services to their customers conveniently using the internet technology. However, studies have shown that customers have perceptions that impact on the uptake and continuous usage of the platform. The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of customer perceptions on usage of internet banking in commercial banks in Kenya. This study used descriptive research design while a stratified random sampling technique was used to select subjects to represent the target population which was made up of 1,837,312 customers of commercial banks within Nairobi County. An estimated 384 respondents were targeted to participate in the study. 272 questionnaires representing a 71% response rate were received and analysed. Based on the findings of the research it was concluded that customers have perception that have an effect on usage of internet banking.
REDEFINITION OF BNP AS A PROGNOSTIC BIOMARKER IN INTENSIVE CARE AT COVID-19 INFECTION

Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic and increased mortality has forced researchers to identify prognostic factors to identify patients at higher risk of mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the usability of Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) as a predictor of mortality in critically ill patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Methods: This retrospective study included 50 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and followed in the intensive care unit. Patients with known heart failure who were found to have heart failure on echocardiography during follow-up were excluded from the study. Results: The patients were divided into two groups based on their mortality status during hospitalization in the intensive care unit. These groups were found to be statistically similar in terms of chronic disease, gender, and age (p>0.05). Non-survivor group had higher levels of BNP at the admission to intensive care unit when compared to survivor group (93.2 pg/mL (43.5-357.3) vs. 62.9 (25.0-147.1), p=0.004, respectively). Regression analysis revealed that higher BNP levels and lower lymphocyte counts can be used as a predictor of mortality for these patients. ROC curve analysis indicated that best cut-off value for predicting in-hospital death for BNP was 85.6 pg/mL with a sensitivity of 73.1% and a specificity of 70.8%. Conclusions: High BNP levels at admission to the intensive care unit can be used as an in-hospital mortality indicator in COVID-19 patients followed up in the intensive care unit.

Gross Brukkaros: the unusual intracaldera sediments and their magmatic components

Gross Brukkaros is a cone-shaped inselberg about 600 m in height located in the Namaland plain of southern Namibia between Mariental and Keetmanshoop (Fig. 1). The base of the hill has a diameter of about 7 km, the crater-shaped central depression measures about 3 km in diameter (Fig. 2). Structurally Gross Brukkaros comprises a ring-shaped anticlinal structure within late Precambrian to Cambrian Nama Group sediments. Earlier studies (e.g. Janse, 1969; Miller and Reimold, 1987) interpreted Gross Brukkaros as a large diatreme. Stachel et al. (1993, 1994) attribute doming of the country rocks to the shallow intrusion of a laccolith shaped alkaline or carbonatitic magma body. Subsequent depletion of the reservoir during volcanic activity around and within(? ) Gross Brukkaros led to cauldron subsidence with the evolution of the centrally located depocentre. From contact relationships (Stachel et al., 1994) the formation of the depocentre can be related temporally with the volcanic activity of the surrounding carbonatitic and kimberlitic Gibeon Volcanic Province of Upper Cretaceous age (Reid et al., 1990; Davies et al., 1991). This relationship in age is supported by newly discovered plant fossils (Kelber et al., 1993) within the Brukkaros sediments, which suggest deposition during the Upper Cretaceous or later. The subsiding Brukkaros depocentre was filled by a sequence consisting mainly of debris flow and mudflow deposits with minor fluviatile (braided channel) and lacustrine sediments. Stachel et al. (1994) reconstructed the sedimentary environment in terms of a set of coalesced alluvial fans passing centrally into a permanent lake with fluctuating water level, with facies akin to those which form on an alluvial fan delta. Cauldron subsidence was a continuous process during sedimentation since bedding angles of 20-30’ for the sediments clearly are not depositional angles. This especially applies to lake beds which would have been deposited primarily on a more or less horizontal lake floor. The Brukkaros deposits were subjected to a metasomatic-hydrothermal alteration process (Ferguson et al., 1975; Miller and Reimold, 1987) which led to silicification of the sediments. This made the Brukkaros sediments highly resistant to weathering with the consequence that Gross Brukkaros remains as a cone-shaped inselberg, which has previously been misidentified as Communs geol.

Jurnal Ilmiah Manajemen

Objectives : The choice to pay dividends is a strategic one for every business. It's the foundation on which stock market investments are made. Dividends paid out by a firm are more highly valued by shareholders than capital profits. Due to the inherent risk associated with investing, investors would rather receive compensation in the now than in the future. The company's future success may be seen in its consistent dividend payments. The goal of this research was to examine the moderating role of dividends in a market vulnerable to inflation and the rupiah exchange rate. The focus is on dividend-paying firms trading on the IDX between 2013 and 2021. Methodology : The associative quantitative approach used here relies on previously collected data. The purposive sampling method was used in the sampling process. This study used 153 samples over 9 time periods, following the criteria. Both single-and multi-linear regression are used in the study. Finding : The findings in the study are inflation and rupiah exchange rates on stock prices have a negative effect and simultaneously affect stock prices while dividends per share can moderate the connection between inflation and stock prices. Conclusion : Both inflation and the rupiah exchange rate have been shown to have a negative effect on stock prices. Inflation has been shown to have a negative influence on stock prices while the rupiah exchange rate also has this effect. According to the findings of this journal, a combined effect of inflation and the value of the rupiah against other currencies may be seen in stock market prices. Furthermore, it has been shown that this effect can occur. The MRA research also shows that dividends per share have a moderating influence on the connection between inflation and stock prices, as well as the correlation between the rupiah exchange rate and stock prices.
Developing a whole exome sequencing-based homologous recombination de�ciency test of epithelial ovarian cancer

Background: Homologous recombination de�ciency (HRD) test is an important tool to stratify epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients for maintenance therapy. Using whole exome sequencing (WES)-based platform can provide information of gene mutations and HRD score, however, the clinical value of WES-based HRD test was less validated in EOC.
Improvement of Seed Germination and Early Seedling Growth of Leucaena leucocephala by Cold Water, Mechanical and Acid Scarification Pretreatment

Seed dormancy is the limiting factor in the propagation of Leucaena leucocephala , a leguminous tree with wide important utilization. With the aim of obtaining the best treatment for breaking of seed dormancy in this plant, the present research was conducted. For this reason, three treatments:1 control, 2 soaking the seeds in cold water for 24, 48 and 72 minutes, 3 mechanical scarification: clipping of seeds around micropyle, clipping of seeds at distal end and sandpapering, and 4 soaking the seeds in sulfuric acid for 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 minutes were used. Results of the study revealed that regardless of soaking time, soaking the seeds in sulfuric acid resulted in the highest germination and seedling growth, followed by mechanical scarification and control, respectively. The lowest germination and early seedling growth was recorded when the seed soaked in cold water.
New Mexico Geological

A bstrAct — Stratigraphic relations in the Truth or Consequences area indicate that the early Rio Grande incised and backfilled twice over 0.6 my, forming two 20-m-deep paleovalleys, shortly after this paleoriver propagated into southern New Mexico. Paleovalley incision is recognized by buttress unconformities between different-aged, lithologically distinctive axial and piedmont deposits. Older (pre-paleovalley) deposits correlate to the Palomas Formation basal transitional unit (map unit Tplt), which includes western-derived piedmont deposits and some of the earliest Rio Grande deposits in the Palomas and Engle Basins. The first (older) paleovalley was backfilled with axial-fluvial sediment consisting of a coarse-grained, basal conglomerate overlain by sandstone and pebbly sandstone; all gravel was locally derived from highlands surrounding the Engle Basin. The second paleovalley fill is distinctive because it contains extrabasinal, coarser (cobble-rich) conglomerate. To the west, the top of the Tplt unit is overlain by coarser-grained and lesser cemented piedmont deposits of the Palomas Formation. These volcaniclastic deposits interfinger eastward with axial-fluvial deposits overlying both aforementioned paleovalleys; these younger axial-fluvial deposits are composed of sand with 5–20% pebbly beds that lack extrabasinal gravel. Radiometric dating of basalt clasts and cryptomelane provide age control for paleovalley formation. A basalt clast dated at 5.06±0.02 Ma ( 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age), collected ~4 m below the top of Tplt, provides a maximum age for both the top of this unit and incision of the older paleovalley. Cryptomelane precipitated at the top of the older paleovalley fill is 4.87±0.05 (previously published 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age). Thus, incision and back-filling of the first paleovalley happened between 5.1 and 4.87 Ma , and incision of the second, nested paleovalley occurred after 4.87 Ma. A basalt cobble collected 6 m above the base of the coarse-grained, lesser-cemented piedmont deposits returned an 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age of 4.49±0.03 Ma. This stratigraphic horizon projects to 10–12 m above the base of the younger axial-fluvial unit that overlies the second paleovalley; the horizon also underlies (by at least 15 m) the ~3.6–3.3 Ma Repenning fossil site. Thus, aggradation of the second paleovalley continued to ca. 4.5 Ma. The relatively quick succession of two ~20-m-deep incision/backfilling events within 0.6 my, each incising to a similar base level, suggests a paleoclimatic driver that caused notable fluctuations in sediment-water discharge ratios similar to later Pleistocene events. We propose that a similar buried paleovalley may exist between the Palomas and Mesilla Basins, which might explain the general lack of pre-3.6 Ma axial-fluvial deposits in that region.
Enhancing Mother's Awareness, Attitude and Practice about Non-Prescribed Medications through Counseling

: Non-prescribed medication is currently common all over the world and the situation is terrible in developing countries. The aim of this study was to enhance mothers' awareness, attitude and practice about non-prescribed medications. Design: A quasi-experimental Pre & post research design was used. Setting: this study was conducted at 2 maternal and child health centers Quabli and bahary in Shibin El-kom district at Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: a convenience sample of 80 mothers have children from 1 to 5 years who attend maternal and child health center. Instruments: - A structured interviewing questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristic of studied sample, reasons for using non-prescribed medications for the children, mothers' awareness, practice, attitude about non-prescribed medications for the children. Result: - Total Pre-intervention mothers’ awareness about non-prescribed medication showed that 60% had poor awareness and 40% had good awareness while all of them 100% had a good awareness after intervention, total Pre-intervention mothers’ practices about non-prescribed medications showed that 57.5% had risky practice and 42.5% had safe practice while 1.3% had risky practice and 98.7% had safe practice after intervention and total Pre-intervention mothers' attitude about non-prescribed medication showed that 92.5% had poor attitude and 7.5% had good attitude while 2.5% of them had poor attitude and 97.5% of them had good attitude after intervention about non-prescribed medication use. Conclusion: -Counseling intervention is an effective method to improve mothers' awareness, practice and attitude about non-prescribed medications. Recommendations: - Multi-educational program for the mother regarding non-prescribed medication through the well-distributed primary healthcare facilities.
From diagnosis to routine care in type 1 diabetes in children: From diagnosis to routine care in type 1 diabetes in children: Parents’ experiences Parents’ experiences

Having a child who lives with a Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) can represent a high burden for parents. The objective of our study is to identify and analyze the main challenges expressed by parents so that health care services better meet the needs of parents of T1D children. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents of 19 T1D children regarding detection and diagnosis, initial management at the hospital, post-discharge adaptation including daycare or school reintegration, and long-term T1D monitoring. Data analysis was performed following an inductive approach. The results showed a lack of knowledge regarding T1D in the society, especially for parents and educators. Furthermore, most parents felt overwhelmed at the hospital, and not ready for the intense self-management education (SME). They suggested it could be split over an extended period and discussed from a more practical perspective. Parents’ bu rden is highest in the post-discharge adaptation stage especially for school reintegration, management of blood glucose levels and calculation of carbohydrates. Finally, returning to a social life was difficult, but contacts with diabetic families was a relief. In conclusion, the SME ought to be flexible and adapted to parents' needs. Spreading it over a longer period would ease families’ experience. Efforts should also be made to alleviate the parents’ burden on the post -discharge adaptation perceived as the most difficult stage, especially for school reintegration where training and resources on T1D should be given to key staff. Public education campaigns would raise awareness and ensure better knowledge of T1D by general population.
