Additional Acupuncture Confers a Favorable Long-Term Prognosis for Elderly Hypertensive Patients with Carotid Atherosclerosis after Atorvastatin Treatment

Objective The purpose of the study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and long-term prognosis of acupuncture (AP) combined with atorvastatin (ATO) in treating senile essential hypertension (EH) complicated with carotid atherosclerosis (CA). Methods 108 elderly EH patients with CA admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and September 2018 were enrolled into the study, consisting of 67 patients who received treatment of AP with ATO (AP + ATO group) and 41 patients who received treatment of ATO alone (ATO group). Comparative outcomes included clinical efficacy, blood pressure (BP), the levels of blood lipids and inflammatory factors, carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), the number of unstable carotid intima plaques, the carotid plaque area, and the incidence of adverse reactions. All patients were followed up for 3 years to evaluate their quality of life and the recurrence rate of CA. Results The AP + ATO group presented a higher efficacy, a declined BP, and lower posttreatment levels of blood lipids and inflammatory factors than the ATO group (P < 0.05). Reductions were observed in IMT, number of plaques, and plaque area in both groups after treatment, with more significant improvements in the AP + ATO group (P < 0.05). No difference was observed in the incidence of adverse reactions between two groups after treatment (P > 0.05). The follow-up analysis demonstrated a higher SF-36 score and a lower recurrence rate of CA in the AP + ATO group than the ATO group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The findings suggested that, for elderly EH patients with CA, treatment of AP with ATO offers better clinical efficacy and safety, which not only can decline the BP, but also can reduce blood lipids and plaque formation, and improve quality of life.
Work-based learning as a catalyst for sustainability: a review and prospects

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the continuing dearth of scholarship about the role of work-based learning in education for sustainable development, and particularly the urgent demands of climate literacy. It is proposed that forms of work-based learning can act as catalysts for wider cultural change, towards embedding climate literacy in higher education institutions. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws data from action research to present a case study of a Climate Change Project conducted through a work-based learning module at a mid-sized university in the UK. Findings Contrary to the predominantly fragmented and disciplinary bounded approaches to sustainability and climate literacy, the case study demonstrates how a form of work-based learning can create a unifying vision for action, and do so across multiple disciplinary, professional service, and identity boundaries. In addition, the project-generated indicators of cultural change including extensive faculty-level climate change resources, creative ideas for an innovative mobile application, and new infrastructural arrangements to further develop practice and research in climate change. Practical implications This paper provides an illustrative example of how a pan-faculty work-based learning module can act as a catalyst for change at a higher education institution. Originality/value This paper is a contemporary call for action to stimulate and expedite climate literacy in higher education, and is the first to propose that certain forms of work-based learning curricula can be a route to combating highly bounded and fragmented approaches, towards a unified and boundary-crossing approach.
Distribution of butterflies (Lepidoptera) in a successional mosaic of Mediterranean mountain habitats

The distribution of butter ﬂ ies was analysed in a mosaic of different types of habitats in a typical Ibero-Supramediterra-nean plant landscape. This mosaic landscape is composed of oak forests ( Quercus pyrenaica ) and their corresponding shrub and grassland successional communities. The observed patterns were based on butter ﬂ y- ﬂ ower interactions in two consecutive years (2017–2018) recorded in different habitats. The results of the nestedness analysis indicated that the same butter ﬂ y community exploits all of the successional plant-communities, but some differences due to the availability of ﬂ owers. The foraging for nectar sources was mostly restricted to a few ﬂ owering plants: Rubus ulmifolius , Carduus carpetanus , Thymus pulegioides and Dianthus deltoides . Some butter ﬂ ies changed their ﬂ ower-visiting patterns over the two years studied. The distribution of butter ﬂ ies was strongly linked to the distribution of their preferred nectar sources and changes in the use of these sources modi ﬁ ed habitat use. The area of Rubus shrubland is a small but highly used habitat in this area, given the presence of Rubus ulmifolius , a plant species with high coverage and abundance of nectar, makes this area much better for foraging than other habitats. The Cytisus and Rubus shrublands were used more than grassland, indicating that seral habitats can be more valuable than traditional open grassland and forest habitats for butter ﬂ ies.
Application of Two Forms of the Erlang Distribution Law in Queueing Theory

The purpose of this work is to compare two forms of the Erlang distribution law: ordinary and normalized. The ordinary Erlang distribution is a special case of a more general gamma distribution and its mathematical expectation depends on the order of the distribution k. For a normalized distribution, the mathematical expectation will not depend on the order of the distribution k; this is the meaning of the normalization operation. Consequently, these two forms of the Erlang distribution law will differ in their numerical characteristics. The paper considers the problem of how these two forms of the distribution law are applied in the theory of queuing and how they affect the main characteristic of queuing systems (QS) - the average delay of claims arriving for service in the system. The rest of the QS characteristics are derivatives of the average delay. For this, three different QSs are considered, including the Erlang distribution law. The method of spectral decomposition of the solution of the Lindley integral equation was used as a mathematical apparatus for studying the QS. For the practical application of the results obtained, the method of moments of the theory of probability was used. Basically, queueing systems G/G/1 with general distribution laws are in demand for modeling data transmission systems for various purposes, including computer and telecommunication networks. This is especially true since for G/G/1 systems there is no solution for the average latency in the final form for the general case. Therefore, such systems are investigated using examples with particular distribution laws.
Prevalence and antibiogram of extended spectrum β- lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a tertiary care hospital

Resistant Extended spectrum β lactamases (ESBL) bacteria are emerging worldwide as a threat to favorable outcome in the treatment of common infections in community and hospital settings. They are mainly found in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species and Proteus species. Extensive and often indiscriminate use of the extended-spectrum cephalosporins in particular, Ceftazidime, Cefotaxime and Ceftriaxone, is associated with the emergence and spread of multi drug resistant K. pneumoniae. Prevalence of ESBLs varies from institute to institute. Hence the present study was done to know the prevalence and antibiogram of ESBL producing K. pneumoniae. This was a prospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in South India from April 2011 to May 2012. Consecutive non-repeat culture isolates of were obtained from different clinical specimens such as urine, pus, blood etc. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method as per CLSI recommendations. Higher resistance among ESBL producers than among non-ESBL producers. Highest resistance was seen with beta lactam antibiotics, Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin. Resistance to Aztreonam was zero percent and one isolate was resistant to Imipenem. During the past decade, ESBL producing Gram-negative bacilli especially Escherichia coli and K. pneumoniae have emerged as serious pathogens both in hospital and community acquired infections worldwide. An important step in rationalizing the use of antibiotics is the formulation of hospital infection control committee. Antibiotic policy should be prepared in consultation with various clinical and surgical clinical departments. Routine detection of ESBL-producing microorganisms should be done by each laboratory, which helps physicians in choosing an appropriate empirical therapy and conserve powerful antibiotics for life threatening infections.
The implementation of sustainability principles in project management

It is becoming clear that the project management practice must embrace sustainability in order to develop into a 'true profession' (Silvius et al., 2012). In project management, sustainability can be gained in both the product of the project and in the process of delivering the product. (Gareis et al., 2010) Nine sustainability principles have been identified that should be implemented in the project management practice. These nine principles are: (1) values and ethics; (2) holistic approach; (3) long term view; (4) large scale; (5) risk reduction; (6) participation; (7) accountability; (8) transparency; (9) stakeholder interest. In a case study it is researched which project and program management roles can exert an influence to have the sustainability principles implemented in the project management practice and how they can accomplish this implementation.
Hierarchical Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning for Backscatter-aided Data Offloading

In this paper, we consider a hybrid computation offloading scheme that allows edge users to offload workloads to the edge servers by using active RF communications and backscatter communications. We aim to maximize the overall energy efficiency by jointly optimizing the beamforming of access point (AP) and the users’ offloading decisions. Considering a dynamic environment, we propose a hierarchical multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (H-MADRL) framework to solve this problem. The high-level agent resides in the AP and optimizes the beamforming strategy, while the low-level user agents learn and adapt individuals’ offloading strategies. To further improve the learning efficiency, we propose a novel optimization-driven learning algorithm that allows the AP to estimate the low-level users’ actions by solving an approximate problem efficiently. Then, the action estimation can be shared with all users and drive them to update individuals’ actions independently. Simulation results reveal that our algorithm can improve the reward performance by 50%. The learning efficiency and reliability are also enhanced comparing to the conventional model-free learning methods.
Factors associated with infection and hospitalization due to COVID-19 in Nursing professionals: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Objective: to identify factors associated with infection and hospitalization due to COVID-19 in nursing professionals. Method: a cross-sectional study carried out with 415 nursing professionals in a hospital specialized in cardiology. The sociodemographic variables, comorbidities, working conditions and issues related to illness due to COVID-19 were evaluated. Chi-Square, Fisher’s, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney and Brunner Munzel tests were used in data analysis, as well as Odds Ratio for hospitalization, in addition to binary logistic regression. Results: the rate of nursing professionals affected by COVID-19 was 44.3% and the factors associated with infection were the number of people living in the same household infected by COVID-19 (OR 36.18; p<0.001) and use of public transportation (OR 2.70; p=0.044). Having severe symptoms (OR 29.75), belonging to the risk group (OR 3.00), having tachypnea (OR 6.48), shortness of breath (OR 5.83), tiredness (OR 4.64), fever (OR 4.41) and/or myalgia (OR 3.00) increased the chances of hospitalization in professionals with COVID-19. Conclusion: living in the same household as other people with the disease and using public transportation increased the risk of infection by the new coronavirus. The factors associated with the hospitalization of contaminated professionals were presence of risk factors for the disease, severity and type of the symptoms presented.
MEASUREMENT OF STRIKING IMPACT KLNETKS VIA INERTIAL MODELLING AND ACCELEROMETRY

Striking impact has teen explored repeatedly in combat sports. The majority of methods used in the literature require intricate equipment. This study implemented a novel and simple method of measuring impact kinetics using a common, commercially available striking bag. Impulse and peak force of impacts were determined, with reliability and validity statistics obtained from multiple impacts with a custom ballistic pendulum. Test-retest reliability calculations determined that all measures had acceptable reliability (CVI less than/ equal to 2.4%). Using linear regression modelling, the coefficient of determination scores displayed a good fit for the model (R exponent 2 greater than / equal to 0.96) when plotted with a spectrum of pendulum masses. This novel method represents a reliable and valid approach to measuring striking impact kinetics which is easily adaptable to any type of hanging striking target.
Verification and Monitoring for First-Order LTL with Persistence-Preserving Quantification over Finite and Infinite Traces

We address the problem of model checking first-order dynamic systems where new objects can be injected in the active domain during execution. Notable examples are systems induced by a first-order action theory, e.g., expressed in the Situation Calculus. Recent results have shown that, under the state-boundedness assumption, such systems, in spite of having a first-order representation of the state, admit decidable model checking for full first-order mu-calculus. However, interestingly, model checking remains undecidable in the case of first-order LTL (LTL-FO). In this paper, we show that in LTL-FOp, which is the fragment of LTL-FO in which quantification is over objects that persist along traces, model checking state-bounded systems becomes decidable over finite and infinite traces. We then employ this result to show how to handle monitoring of LTL-FOp properties against a trace stemming from an unknown state-bounded dynamic system, simultaneously considering the finite trace up to the current point, and all its possibly infinite future continuations.
A Quality Assurance Study of Respiratory Rate Measurements on Obese Patients with a Novel Monitoring Technology

Background: Many practical challenges exist when caring for Obese patients, with the obesity epedemic being a global problem. Overweight and obese individuals are more likely to have respiratory symptoms than individuals with a normal BMI, even in the absense of demonstratable lung disease [1]. For example, it is known that respiratory system compliance is reduced in obese individuals [2] with the net effect on pulmonary function being rapid, shallow breathing patterns. Several techniques may be used for the continuous assessment of adequate oxegenation and ventilation in obese patients. Pulse oximetry is a reliable estimate of oxygenation, but detection of hypoventilation or airway obstruction as evidenced by arterial oxygen saturation can be delayed [2], manual counting of respiratory rate is innacurate, even when implemented by trained health care professionals, and leaves respiratory rate unmonitored for long periods of time in the general ward. Contactless systems are limited by the fact that they cannot move with the patient as the patient moves through the hospital system. Capnography, the gold standard, provides adequate monitoring of respiratory rate. However, this monitoring technique may be affected by changes in dead-space, cardiac output and breathing patterns releated to obesity [1]. RespiraSense ™ is a novel, non- invasive, wireless, body worn, motion-tolerant and continuous respiratory rate monitor which provides a viable solution to the monitoring of respiratory rate in individuals across the BMI spectrum. Aim: We aimed to demonstrate equivalence of RespiraSense at measuring respiratory rate in obese patients in comparison to the gold standard method of capnography. Methods: RespiraSense measures respiratory rate and transmit signals wirelessly to a tablet device. We measured respiratory rate in a total of 19 outpatients of an Integrated Complex Obesity Clinic in the UK. Patients were observed for one (1) hour and the mesurements from the capnograph and RespiraSense were compared. Qualatitive data were collected to assess the comfort and usability of the device. Results: Data from 11 patients was evaluated. For all patients with a BMI > 35, a mean RR of 17.01 (SD 5.42) for capnograph measurements compared to a mean RR of 17 (SD 4.2) with RespiraSense were recorded. The mean RR measurement for all patients was less than the defined normal RR of 20 breaths per minute. For the five (5) patients with a BMI in the range of 35-49 a mean RR of 16.56 (SD 2.42) for capnograph measurements compared to a mean RR of 17.3 (SD 4.03) with RespiraSense were recorded. For the five (5) patients with a BMI > 50, a mean RR of 18.5 (SD 6.09) for capnograph measurements compared to a mean RR of 19 (SD 3.5) with RespiraSense were recorded. All comparative measurements were within the pre-defined limits of error. Conclusion: continuous measurement of RR with RespiraSense in obese patients is a feasible and reliable alternative to existing methods.

This study also shows positive correlation between age and kinesiophobia with significant p value and also positive correlation between pain and TSK score. Conclusion: The study concludes that positive kinesiophobia is strongly associated with majority of the older adult patient with acute, subacute and chronic shoulder pain. Also with increasing age patients developed more severe kinesiophobia. Patient associated with high intensity of pain have higher tampa score. Key words: kinesiophobia, shoulder pain, Tampa scale.
4.0. Factors influencing acceptability of caesarean section among multiparous pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Mother and Child Hospital,

https://doi.org/10.30574/gscarr.2022. 11.1. 0102 Abstract Overview : Caesarean section is the most common obstetric operation performed worldwide and has contributed to improving maternal and foetal outcome. This study assesses the factors influencing the acceptability of caesarean section among multiparous pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Mother and Child Hospital, Akure, Ondo state. Method : A total number of 306 respondents were recruited for this study and 300 presented for analysis which translates to a response rate of 98%. Pertinent and relevant literatures were reviewed both conceptually and empirically and inferences made where necessary. Results : Findings of the study showed that majority were between 30 and 39 years, married and belong to Yoruba tribe. Only few (29%) have had caesarean section in the past with major indications being prolonged labour (19.5%), fetal distress (20.7%), prolonged pregnancy (7%) and congenital abnormalities (7%). Majority (70%) agreed that Caesarean section is a method of delivery of babies and 46% agreed that CS is a safe method of delivery. Overall, 60% and 66.7% of the pregnant women have good knowledge of CS and perception about CS respectively. Furthermore, only 16% agreed to have CS in the next pregnancy if indicated. The following were agreed to and accepted by the respondents to influence acceptance of Caesarean section: fear of death, cost of the procedure, fear of discrimination, fear of husbands’ rejection, pain of previous labor, concerns about babies’ safety and desire to keep genital tract intact. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between educational status, tribe, religion and acceptability of caesarean section among respondents (p < 0.05) while there is no significant relationship between previous obstetric experiences and acceptability of caesarean section. Conclusion : Conclusively, this study has shown that most of the respondents have good knowledge and perception of Caesarean Section (CS); however, the rate of acceptance of CS as a mode of delivery is low with factors influencing such including fear of death, cost of the procedure, fear of discrimination, fear of husbands’ rejection and concerns about babies’

C V ] 9 D ec 2 02 0 SUP-NORM ESTIMATES FOR ∂

We develop a method for proving sup-norm and H¨older estimates for ∂ on wide class of ﬁnite type pseudoconvex domains in C n . A fundamental obstruction to proving sup-norm estimates is the possibility of singular complex curves with exceptionally high order of contact with the boundary. Our method handles this problem, and in C 3 , we prove sup-norm and H¨older estimates for all bounded, pseudoconvex domains with real-analytic boundary.
