Risk Factor Analysis Of The Severity Chronic Kidney Failure Undergoing Hemodialysis At State Hospital

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is ranked 27th cause of death in the world in 1990 and increased 18th in 2010. The results of Riskesdas in 2013 showed the prevalence of CKD in Indonesia by 0.2% or 2 per 1000 population. A long history of hypertension and kidney stones can cause a decrease in kidney function, patients with chronic renal failure who are still working have a level of fatigue that can trigger stress. Working conditions outdoors in hot temperatures can result in dehydration. The severity of patients with chronic kidney failure can be influenced by hypertension, kidney stones and work. Objective: To analyze risk factors for the severity of chronic kidney failure that undergo hemodialysis at Ulin Regional Hospital in South Kalimantan. Method: An observational analytic study with a cross sectional study design. A sample of 65 patients using simple random sampling. The research instrument used patient medical record data. Data analysis with descriptive and statistical namely chi square and multiple logistic regression. Results: Patients who also suffered from hypertension had a greater risk for end-stage CKD (p = 0.010). Patients who also suffered from kidney stones had a greater risk for end-stage CKD (p = 0.034). Kidney failure patients who are still working have a risk of CRF (p = 0.011). Analysis using multiple logistic regression showed hypertension variables (p = 0.010; Exp.B = 7.236), kidney stones (p = 0.034; Exp.B = 5.221), and occupation (p = 0.011; Exp.B = 5.424) with a level of confidence 95%. Conclusion: There is a relationship between hypertension, kidney stones, and occupation with the severity of chronic kidney failure, with the most dominant variable hypertension among the three variables.
Combining survey data with behavioral data—a promising way to learn about the producers of online hostility

To date, producers of online hostility have been studied using either survey data or actual behavioral data. I argue that combining both data sources is a challenging but promising way to expand our knowledge of producers. This combination leverages the strengths of the two data sources while overcoming the weaknesses of each. I also show where special attention should be directed during implementation. Generally, the methodological triangulation demonstrated here is also applicable to the study of related forms of online extremism.
Fan Flow Control for Noise Reduction Part 2: Investigation of Wake-Filling Techniques

** Eight different fan rotor blowing schemes were tested in a blowdown-type linear cascade wind tunnel to evaluate their wake-filling effectiveness. Downstream probe traverse data in the wake region are presented for various blowing rates. The performance of each configuration was quantified by the blowing mass flow rate and supply pressure required for complete wake-filling. Digital particle image velocimetry was used to visualize the wake/jet mixing phenomena and validate the probe traverse data. Of the configurations tested, jets located on both the suction and pressure surfaces at approximately 80% chord achieved nearly complete wake-filling while requiring the least blowing mass flow and supply pressure.
Reduzierung numerischer Probleme bei linearen dynamischen Systemen durch Balancieren

Die bei einer digitalen Rechenanlage stets notwendigen Rundungen können dazu führen, daß numerische Algorithmen ungenaue oder falsche Ergebnisse liefern oder gar ganz versagen. Insbesondere zwei elementare Operationen, nämlich Matrizenmultiplikation und Entscheidungen aufgrund der relativen Größe von Zahlen, sind in ihrer Genauigkeit sehr stark von der zur Verfügung stehenden Wortlänge und der Kondition der zu verarbeitenden Daten abhängig. Beim Reglerentwurf sind dies die Systemdaten, welche selbst bei physikalischer Bedeutung eine schlechte numerische Kondition besitzen können.
Use of improved evidence on Aboriginal road trauma to develop and deliver the NSW Aboriginal Road Safety Action Plan

This paper details the development of the NSW Aboriginal Road Safety Action Plan and the crash data evidence underpinning its development and delivery. In 2014 the Centre for Road Safety released the whole-of-Government NSW Aboriginal Road Safety Action Plan. The Action Plan identifies opportunities to harness efforts across Government to reduce Aboriginal road trauma and to achieve other positive outcomes including safer community roads and transport to access social, economic and cultural opportunities. This will be done through improved collaborative action using the Safe Systems approach; a stronger evidence base; promotion of safe and legal driving; providing safe alternative transport options; and improved post-crash response and treatment. The Action Plan is based on crash and casualty data, practical evidence (accounts from those across Government who work with Aboriginal people) and policy opportunities (mutual interests to improving road safety). The crash and casualty research evidence has been greatly enhanced by ongoing research to better quantify casualty severities using linked NSW Police and Health records. The linkage study allowed the opportunity to use Aboriginality identifier variables in the Health data, thus better quantifying the extent and characteristics of Aboriginal trauma in road traffic crashes in NSW. Several of the key results from this data linkage are presented in this paper. In implementing the Action Plan, the enhanced data will help target initiatives to tackle key crash factors, road user groups, locations and demographics to reduce Aboriginal road trauma.
Exploring how complex solution-based capabilities (CSC) are developed and integrated in engineering companies

Abstract This paper explores how engineering companies develop and integrate solution-based capabilities for complex ‘one-off’ or small-batch production. Although there is extant literature on developing a stand-alone service, product and process capabilities, an integrated solution-based capability for effective execution of complex ‘design-build’ projects is currently underdeveloped. For such firms to be successful in delivering complex solutions, there is the need for organisational structured routines and processes which we conceptualise as complex solution-based capabilities (CSC). The study was based on a multiple case study using in-depth semi-structured interviews with managers and engineers. Primary data collected were complemented by documentary evidence, for triangulation and validity. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to develop a framework of CSC. The findings show that the case study companies have developed and integrated CSC through organisational routines and processes of make-to-concept approach, value creation and strategic coordination. Implications and future research are discussed.
ESTIMATION OF ROAD SURFACE ROUGHNESS CONDITION FROM ANDROID SMARTPHONE SENSORS

In day to day life transport to the desired location is the most common activity. Road plays vital role in the whole process of transportation. It is necessary that road condition should not be bad in any case for safety and avoid inconvenience. The road bump is kind of conditions which are needed to immediate monitoring and sharing. Currently, the implementing methods for road bump detection are done by a human visual confirmation and a mechanical measuring of road surface shapes by using profile meter. It needs to use many human resources, long lead time and special equipment. In proposed system, the road bump detection method, which is named Bump Recorder, that can be done more easily, is proposed. Bump Recorder is one kind of the extensional smartphone probe which can be put on the vehicle dashboard, and the vehicle is driven as usual. At first, pedometer gets used for the prototype Bump Recorder which is, the bump detection principle and an actual measurement result are explained which was measured at the Niigataken Chuetsu-oki Earthquake in 2007. And next, for the first generation Bump Recorder which is used the three-dimensional accelerometer that is installed on the smartphone, the bump detection logic and experiment result are explained. At last, for the second generation Bump Recorder which is used three-dimensional gyro sensor is explained. In proposed system, road smoothness (Quality) and Ghats (kind of hilly road) complexity analysis will be performed by using GPS system of smartphone and with the help of different sensors like accelerometer, magnetometer, etc. of phone. Information about analysis of the road roughness and Ghats will be uploaded on central server which will be used by user through app during travelling gives reliability & awareness about the road.

Association by Polymorphism of the IL22 Gene in Situations, rs867810424 (A/G) and rs1390124543 (A/G) with a Risk of Infertility in Women

Infertility is a growing and effective social disease in family relationships. The importance of controlling and measuring patient risk is determined by the individual's predisposing factors to infertility, genetic and acquired background. Inflammatory disorders are seen in many diseases, and cytokines, including IL22, play a role. IL22 is a precursor cytokine and has a dual role in are associated with increased egg fertility and the expansion of fatal growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two variants rs86781042 and rs1390124543 in IL22 on female infertility in southern Iran and compare it with healthy individuals. In this case study, evidence was used to study the polymorphism of the IL22 gene in the blood of 200 infertile and healthy patients in Shiraz hospitals, for DNA extraction and purification, using Salting Out and Proteinase K methods, followed by electrophoresis and PCR ARM was used. The results were analysed using SPSS software and Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. According to the results, it seems that the expression of two polymorphisms of IL22 gene is directly related to infertility in women in southern Iran and by using this relationship; it can be used as a biomarker for screening infertile women and diagnosing the disease.
Do we really need fine-needle biopsy needle for an ultrasound-guided biopsy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma? A retrospective study.

OBJECTIVE Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided FNB was not demonstrated to be better than EUS fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to obtain adequate samples for diagnosis of pancreatic tumors. We report our experience using a 22-gauge needle aspiration to obtain both cytologic and histologic samples. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a total of 232 patients (51% men), 22-gauge needles (Cook Medical) were used to obtain a cytological sample (between 2008 and 2016, Cohort A) and a cytologic and a histologic sample (between 2016 and 2019, Cohort B) to evaluate the usability of this needle to collect material for cytologic and histologic examination. MOSE was used. RESULTS Pancreatic adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in 76/113 (68%) patients in Cohort A and in 88/119 (74%) in Cohort B. Non-diagnostic sampling occurred in 30/113 (26%) patients in Cohort A and in 25/119 (21%) in Cohort B. The median number of passages was three in both cohorts. Lesions were in the head/uncinated process 57% vs. 51% and body/tail 43% vs. 49% in Cohorts A and B, respectively; the mean tumor size was 34.5 mm (SD 10.7) in Cohort A and 35.4 mm (SD 14.7) in Cohort B. CONCLUSIONS FNA needle (22-gauge) with adequate passes, MOSE determination and adequate processing of specimens, provided FNA and FNB specimen collection.
Motives for Thermal Tourism: An Application to North and Central Portugal

Health and wellness tourism should be particularly valued in the post-pandemic phase. It has the potential to be a strategic product that enhances the population’s well-being and quality of life, on social, physical, and environmental levels. Different proposals for specialized experiences that complement what the destination offers allow to position regions as health and wellness destinations. Thermal tourism should thus be encouraged as a specific product designed on the innovation and diversification observed in the related services and the benefits recognized for all ages. Considering the relevance of thermal springs and thermal tourists for the image, positioning, and development of touristic destinations, this research aims to identify the specific motivations of tourists that attract them to the practice of thermal tourism, to understand how the benefits for which thermal tourists search and their sociodemographic profile influence the motivations of tourists, and how those motivations determine the characteristics of travel. This research was developed on the North and Centre of Portugal for their relevance in the context of thermal springs and related touristic activities. To achieve the research objectives, a questionnaire survey was conducted among thermal tourists, through a non-probability by convenience sampling, using bivariate tests, such as Pearson’s chi-squared test, one-way ANOVA, and t-Student test. The results highlight that most respondents practiced thermal tourism due to leisure and relaxation benefits, such as the escape from daily stress, spend time with family, and being “pampered”; relaxation is the most valued motivation, followed by the search for psychological and physical well-being. The research found relations between the benefits expected by thermal tourists and their travel characteristics, such as the composition of the group, the general travel motivation, the chosen thermal destination, and the number of nights spent at the location. In thermal tourism, new challenges emerge, demanding the development of strategies, products, and services that respond to the needs of specific market sections.
Curricula as Work in Progress? - Lessons Learned from the Development of a Learning Outcome-oriented Study Programme

Learning Outcomes currently are one of the most-debated issues in the field of curricular development. This article focuses on the theoretical, methodological and practical implications of developing an outcome-oriented curriculum discussing the following questions: How are learning outcomes or qualification profiles developed and formulated? How are they realised in the programme syllabus? What teaching and learning strategies are required? And how can the students’ learning progress be assessed, i.e. how can the learning outcomes be evaluated? The second part provides an insight into how these issues where practically approached, and ends with the conclusion that it requires constant reflection of the issues involved.

Regulation of intestinal flora by external treatment of Traditional Chinese medicine

External treatment of Traditional Chinese medicine, as one of the commonly used treatments in traditional Chinese medicine, plays an important role in adjuvant therapy. Intestinal flora is involved in many pathophysiological processes in the body and is an important link of body health. The imbalance of intestinal flora can cause multi-system diseases, and the external treatment of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine, as a relatively safe and effective treatment, has become a new breakthrough in disease prevention and treatment. In this paper, the regulation effect of external treatment of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine on intestinal microflora was reviewed to provide more reference for the intervention of intestinal microflora imbalance by external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.
Understanding social inclusion: a narrative inquiry into the experiences of refugee families with young children

ABSTRACT While refugees are part of patterns of global migration, their ordinary lives remain obscured. In a narrative inquiry into the lives of Syrian refugee families who came to Canada within the past 4 years, we focused on their experiences of belonging, agency, and identity as part of social inclusion. The main focus was the lives of young children and their families as they made sense of Canadian institutional settings. Working with two community-based Arabic-speaking women, we engaged with each family for up to two years. Data (field texts) included recorded and informal conversations, photographs, memory box artefacts, field notes on activities, and art work. In an initial analysis, we wrote narrative accounts of each family’s experiences. Second level analysis involved collaborative identification of two narrative threads that cut across families’ experiences: making and sustaining familial and community relationships and composing stories to live by as a process of becoming. We draw on one family’s experiences to illustrate these threads. Learning to speak English is a central component within each thread. Tensions between inclusion and exclusion, which become apparent as families struggled to hold on to who they were, and as they worked to reimagine and recompose their lives, are visible.
Acido ferúlico en el comportamiento productivo y metabolitos urinarios en becerros destetados

El objetivo de este estudio piloto fue evaluar el efecto de ácido ferúlico (AF) sobre el comportamiento productivo y metabolitos en orina en becerros de destete precoz. 29 becerros aleatoriamente distribuidos en 4 corrales (2 corrales por tratamiento). Los tratamientos: control y AF (10 ppm kg-1 peso vivo) por 30 días. Se registraron los pesos de los animales, se colectaron muestras de orina, al incio y final de la suplementación y el consumo de alimento se registró diariamente. Se determinaron los metabolitos en orina por HPLC-DAD. No se encontraron efectos en el comportamiento productivo (p >0.05). No se encontró presencia de AF, trans-isoferúlico ni de sus conjugados en la orina, solo la excreción de ácido hipúrico (AH) aumentó en el grupo suplementado con AF (282.97µg/ml) respecto al grupo control (133µg/ml). Los resultados sugieren que AF podría ser excretado como AH y que no ocurre una acumulación de AF.
System Thinking Approach to Analyze Violations in the Distribution of Prescription Medicines in West Sumatra Province

Indonesia has a high rate of illegal prescription medicine sales through unauthorized distribution facilities, and these violations have increased in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the fact that law enforcement has been conducted, it has continued to grow. Between 2018 and 2020, criminal cases related to this issue handled by the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) increased by 5.54 percent, and in the province of West Sumatra, which was the main focus of this study, cases of prescription medicine violations reached 68.35 percent in 2020. However, preventing and eradicating these cases has become increasingly difficult due to the interconnectedness of factors and actors. To address the issue, the system thinking approach was chosen as the best method for modeling the dynamic behavior of this complex system over time. To facilitate applicable solutions to resolve these violations that occur in West Sumatra Province, a tool known as a rich picture diagram (RPD) is proposed as a precursor to the development of a causal loop diagram (CLD). The study's system thinking approach enables the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority's business processes to fully comprehend the dynamics and develop robust systemic interventions during the supervision and investigation of such violations.
Human Motion Synthesis and Control via Contextual Manifold Embedding

Modeling motion dynamics for precise and rapid control by deterministic data-driven models is challenging due to the natural randomness of human motion. To address it, we propose a novel framework for continuous motion control by probabilistic latent variable models. The control is implemented by recurrently querying between historical and target motion states rather than exact motion data. Our model takes a conditional encoder-decoder form in two stages. Firstly, we utilize Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model (GPLVM) to project motion poses to a compact latent manifold. Motion states could be clearly recognized by analyzing on the manifold, such as walking phase and forwarding velocity. Secondly, taking manifold as prior, a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) encoder makes temporal latent prediction from the previous and control states. An attention module then morphs the prediction by measuring latent similarities to control states and predicted states, thus dynamically preserving contextual consistency. In the end, the GP decoder reconstructs motion states back to motion frames. Experiments on walking datasets show that our model is able to maintain motion states autoregressively while performing rapid and smooth transitions for the control.
