Verification of Criteria for Assessing Citizens' Satisfaction Issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs at a One-stop Office in the Industry and Trade Department of Binh Duong Province, Vietnam

The study includes two research objectives: (1) identify and measure the factors affecting people's satisfaction; and (2) assess the importance of factors affecting people's satisfaction, thereby proposing suggestions to improve the set of criteria that are designed to assess people's satisfaction issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs of Vietnam. The essay employs a quantitative analytic approach to find elements impacting people's contentment. The survey sample was randomly selected from 350 individuals who had transactions at the one-stop shop of the Department of Industry and Trade of Binh Duong Province, Vietnam. The paper performs data processing using SPSS 20.0 software to examine the reliability of the scale using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, exploratory component analysis (EFA), correlation analysis, regression, and model testing theory. The findings showed that there are only 4 factors (with statistical significance) affecting people's satisfaction, including approachability (coefficient 0.316), administrative procedures (coefficient 0.384), civil servants (coefficient 0.529), and receiving and solving complaints and feedback (coefficient 0.145). The Ministry of Home Affairs should modify the criteria for assessing citizens' satisfaction with less focus on the results of public administrative service provision as this factor has no correlation with citizens' satisfaction.
Effects of Key Components on the Antioxidant Activity of Black Tea

Many components (such as tea polyphenols, catechins, theaflavins, theasinensins, thearubigins, flavonoids, gallic acid, etc.) in black tea have antioxidant activities. However, it is not clear which components have a greater influence on the antioxidant activity of black tea. In this study, the antioxidant activity and contents of tea polyphenols, catechins, theaflavins, thearubigins, theabrownins, TSA, total flavonoids, amino acids, caffeine, and total soluble sugar were analyzed in 51 black teas. Principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal partial least-squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA), and the correlation analysis method were used for data analysis. The results showed that catechins in tea polyphenols were the most important components that determine the antioxidant activity of black tea. Among them, epicatechin gallate (ECG), epi-gallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epicatechin (EC), and epi-gallocatechin (EGC) were significantly positively correlated with the antioxidant activity of black tea, and theabrownin was negatively correlated with the antioxidant activity of black tea. Furthermore, this study analyzed the correlation between the changes in catechin and its oxidized polymers with antioxidant activity during black tea fermentation; it verified that catechins were significantly positively correlated with the antioxidant activity of black tea, and theabrownin showed a negative correlation. And the antioxidant activity of catechins and their oxidation products in vitro and their correlation in black tea processing were used as validation. This study provides a comparison method for comparing the antioxidant activity of black tea.
Who benefits and who loses? : Evaluating the impacts of community-based marine protected areas on ecosystem services and human wellbeing

Coral reef ecosystems are some of the most biologically diverse systems in the world, and provide a number of ecosystem services that humans depend on for their wellbeing. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a social-ecological intervention that while conserving these ecosystems, also have significant impacts on the communities that depend on them for their wellbeing. Community-based MPAs are growing in popularity with the assumption that by putting communities at the forefront of their planning and management, more participation will occur, ensuring positive social and ecological impacts. This study, through mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, examines two community-based MPAs in coastal Kenya (called tengefus) to understand how each tengefu was incepted, and how resource users perceive the impacts of the tengefu on ecosystem services and human wellbeing. Participation in and donor support for the tengefu were found to influence how resource users perceived impacts. Individuals who were more engaged in the project or held some type of leadership position perceived more positive impacts on ecosystem services and human wellbeing compared to those not involved. In the two cases, tangible benefits (e.g. fisheries spillover and ecotourism) from the marine enclosure itself are too few to benefit the community as a whole. For tengefus to be social successes, more attention should be given to engaging all resource-dependent community members in their planning, implementation and management, and to understanding the multifaceted role of donor funding in supporting these initiatives.
Evaluation of the safety of inpatient empagliflozin in a real-world setting

Abstract Background Empagliflozin is a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor recommended by the American Diabetes Association for outpatient use. Support for its inpatient role is not well established due to possible safety concerns. Methods This was a retrospective study at an academic medical center between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021, evaluating the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin compared to other oral antihyperglycemic agents. Patients with established heart failure with or without diabetes were included if they received at least one dose of oral antihyperglycemic agent with 48 hours of fingerstick blood glucose checks during the hospitalization. A total of 227 patients were included. The primary endpoint was a composite of adverse events including urinary tract infection, acute kidney injury, diabetic ketoacidosis, renal replacement therapy, and necrotizing fasciitis. Additional endpoints included daily insulin requirements, hypoglycemia, and hypotension. Results Rates of composite adverse events were similar between the empagliflozin group and other oral antihyperglycemic agents (19.3% vs. 12.6% respectively, P = 0.17). There were no instances of renal replacement therapy, diabetic ketoacidosis, or necrotizing fasciitis. The secondary endpoint of basal insulin requirements showed no differences between the two groups. In the empagliflozin cohort, more patients experienced hypotension (23.4% vs. 7.8%; P < 0.01). Conclusion This real-world study of empagliflozin use in the inpatient setting found no significant differences in safety endpoints between empagliflozin and other oral antihyperglycemic agents. Larger-scale studies need to be performed before the use of empagliflozin can be routinely recommended in the inpatient setting.
AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE FINANCIAL DISTRESS (A CASE ON MINING INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA)

The purpose of this research is to empirically prove the role of profitability, financial leverage, and operating cash flow in predicting financial distress which can be useful for stakeholders and researchers in the future (creditors, government, and investors). This research uses quantitative research method and the data is taken from the issuer's financial statements on IDX by purposive sampling method. Multiple linear regression is used to analyze data in this research. The population used is mining industries listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 7 years of observation, from 2014-2020. There are as many as 55 samples obtained in this research which are then analyzed using software Microsoft Excel and SPSS 26.0. This study shows that the profitability and operating cash flow variable have a positive effect on financial distress; variable financial leverage does not effect financial distress. Debt is a factor that can cause financial distress, so that the leverage ratio setting and debt policy must be a concern for the company, especially for mining companies that require working capital and investment in their operations.
A Review on Inflammasomes and Immune Checkpoints in Pre-Eclampsia Complicated with Tuberculosis and Human Immune Deficiency Virus

The current review evaluates how inflammasomes and immune checkpoints are regulated in pre-eclampsia (PE) associated with tuberculosis (TB) and Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV). Studies indicate that inflammasomes such as (NRLP3, NEK7, and AIM2) and immune checkpoints such as (CLT4, PD-1, TIM3, and LAG-3) are dysregulated in TB- and HIV-infected individuals, and also in pre-eclamptic pregnancies, which explains why pregnant women who are either infected with TB or HIV have an increased risk of developing PE. Evidence suggests that inhibition of inflammasomes and immune checkpoints may assist in the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs for the prevention and management of PE in patients with or without TB and HIV infection.
Comprehensive Assessment of Mid-Regional Proadrenomedullin, Procalcitonin, Neuron-Specific Enolase and Protein S100 for Predicting Pediatric Severe Trauma Outcomes

The development of multiple organ failure and septic complications increases the cumulative risk of mortality in children with severe injury. Clinically available biochemical markers have shown promise in assessing the severity and predicting the development of complications and outcomes in such cases. This study aimed to determine informative criteria for assessing the severity and outcome prediction of severe injury in children based on levels of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) procalcitonin (PCT), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and protein S100. Biomarker levels were measured in 52 children with severe injury (ISS ≥ 16) on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 14th days after admission to the ICU. The children were divided into groups based on their favorable (n = 44) or unfavorable (n = 8) outcomes according to the Severe Injury Outcome Scale, as well as their favorable (n = 35) or unfavorable (n = 15) outcomes according to the Glasgow Coma Outcome Scale (GOS). The study also evaluated the significance of biomarker levels in predicting septic complications (with SC (n = 16) and without SC (n = 36)) and diagnosing and stratifying multiple organ failure (with MOF (n = 8) and without MOF (n = 44)). A comprehensive assessment of MR-proADM and PCT provided the highest diagnostic and prognostic efficacy for early diagnosis, risk stratification of multiple organ failure, and outcome prediction in severe injury cases involving children. Additionally, the inclusion of the S100 protein in the study allowed for further assessment of brain damage in cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI), contributing to the overall prognostic model.
Safety and Feasibility Study of the Medical Care Pit Walking Support System for Rehabilitation of Acute Stroke Patients

Stroke rehabilitation with mechanical assistance improves outcomes by facilitating repetition and relieving the care burden of therapy staff. Here, we tested the Medical Care Pit (MCP) walking assistance training device in the rehabilitation of eight acute stroke patients (median age 60.7 ± 16.3 years) who had recently suffered ischemic (three) or hemorrhagic (five) stroke (14.1 ± 6.5 days). Patients received standard rehabilitation approximately 5 days per week (weekdays only), plus MCP therapy twice a week, totaling four MCP sessions over 2 weeks. Fugl–Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), and other gait-associated parameters were measured. Over the 10.5 ± 1.6 days of therapy, MCP qualitatively assisted in gait analysis and real-time patient feedback while independent walking scores significantly improved (FAC 2.2 ± 0.8 to 3.1 ± 1.3, p = 0.020). FMA-LE scores also slightly improved but not to significance (p = 0.106). Objective burden on patients, as measured by modified Borg scale, was significantly improved (2.7 ± 1.6 to 2.0 ± 1.6, p = 0.014). In terms of questionnaires, anxiety scores for the physical therapist regarding gait training and falling with MCP significantly decreased (3.8 ± 2.3 to 1.0 ± 1.6; p = 0.027 and 3.1 ± 2.2 to 0.8 ± 1.3; p = 0.045) from the first to fourth sessions. Taken together, MCP, in addition to the usual rehabilitation program, was effective in gait rehabilitation for independent walking and relieved burdens on the patients. Such walking support systems may be an important part of acute stroke rehabilitation.
Effect of Fertilizer Potassium on Growth, Yield and Water Relations of Bushbean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under Water Stress Conditions

A pot experiment was carried out inside a plastic greenhouse under natural light conditions at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University during the winter period 10 November 2000-15 February 2001, to analyze the effect of potassium on productivity and water relations in bushbean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under water stress conditions. Bushbean plants, var. BARI bushbean-1, were grown in nutrient-poor soil. Three levels of fertilizer potassium (37.5, 75.0 and 112.5 kg ha-1) and soil moisture, viz, control [less than 25% depletion from field capacity (FC)], mild stress (more than 37.5% depletion from FC) and severe water stress (more than 50% depletion from FC) were selected as treatment variables. Water stress led to a considerable decrease in the leaf area, shoot dry weight , and grain yield, and or increase in the root dry weight. Dry matter accumulation in different plant organs except for the root dry weight was more impaired by severe water stress than that by mild water stress. Irrespective of the levels of soil moisture, potassium exerted beneficial effects on plant growth characteristics including yield. Plants that received a higher level of potassium exhibited a higher relative water content and transpiration rate, and lower diffusion resistance than the plants that received a lower level of potassium. The beneficial effect of fertilizer potassium on dry matter production and distribution in bushbean plants was probably associated with the maintenance of better water relations in the plants due to potassium application.
Analyse de l'activité d'élevage bovin et transformation des systèmes de production en situation sylvopastorale algérienne

This study analyzed the cattle husbandry role in livestock systems and farms in a forested area of Northeastern Algeria. The study area was a representative sample of Algeria 500,000 ha of cork oak (Quercus suber) forests. It is the wettest region of the country and it hosts the largest portion of Algeria suckling cattle herd. The authors first presented the framework of their study, information sources and animal husbandry types. Then, they developed a method to assess breeding and growth performances. The methodological approach to analyze livestock systems focused on interactions between female breeding profiles, animal genetic types and dynamics of animal body condition, which appeared as a reliable indicator that could be used as a diagnosis tool to control breeding. Comparison of animal husbandry practices with changes in animal body requirements and pastoral resources showed there were periods during the year (socalled saison-pratique) that were essential to analyze the adjustments implemented and their incidence on animal performances. Therefore, this study on the practices and evolution of livestock systems enabled the authors to identify new more relevant and operating categories of livestock systems that better reflected current trajectories. These categories helped produce reference frames that were adapted to the context and which could be used without the need to apply merely intensification paradigms.

Correlates of Oral Health Conditions and Oral Health Literacy Among a Sample of Patients With Cardiovascular Disease: A Cross-sectional Study

Background: Oral health literacy (OHL) and dental health indicators in people with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are important health conditions that have been less investigated in this group of patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate oral health conditions and OHL in adult patients with cardiovascular conditions who referred to dental clinics in southwest, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Ahvaz, Iran in 2021-2022. The oral and dental health status and literacy of 302 people were investigated, and data were collected using a standard questionnaire about OHL (with dimensions of comprehension and calculation ability), as well as demographic and medical information. Then, the patients were clinically examined by a dentist to determine oral health indicators (Decayed, missing, and filled teeth: DMFT) and oral health index (OHI-S). Finally, data were analyzed using SPSS, version 22. Results: The mean DMFT was 11.06±3.55. According to the OHI-S, 124 (41.1%), 75 (24.8%), and 103 (34.1%) people were categorized in mean, good, and poor oral health levels, respectively. Pearson’s correlation coefficient demonstrated a direct, strong, and significant relationship between age and DMFT and OHI (r=0.702, r=0.678 P<0.001). The relationship between understanding ability and DMFT and OHI was inversely correlated (r=-0.389, r=-0.278, P<0.001), and the relationship between calculation ability and OHI, as well as between calculation ability and DMFT was inverse and significant ((r=-0.572, P<0.001) and r=-0.429, P<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: The results showed that there is a relationship between OHL and OHI in people with CVD, although it is not in a favorable condition. As a result, the design, implementation, and evaluation of oral health education programs for patients with CVD are highly recommended, and it is imperative that oral and dental health be carefully monitored in these patients.
Sources of Antibiotic Contamination in Wastewater and Approaches to Their Removal—An Overview

In the practice of medicine, antibiotics are extremely important and are employed in the treatment of infections. A lot of antibiotics are consumed by humans and excreted via urine and feces into sewage systems and treatment plants. These are considered to be non-biodegradable, and over the years they accumulate in the aquatic environment. The presence of antibiotics in water resources causes the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing a serious threat to the health of human beings. Water bodies must be adequately treated before being discharged to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance. In the present article, the sources of antibiotics and strategies used for their effective removal, such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, nanofiltration, membranous biological reactor treatment, Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP), Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nano sorbents, are discussed. Conventional wastewater treatment plants are not able to eliminate antibiotics deposition/resistance genes effectively and efficiently. In this regard, the adsorption method is the most effective way of removing antibiotics from wastewater from various sources.
Stable Isotopes in the Spines of Columnar Cactus: a New Proxy for Climate and Ecophysiological Research

There are relatively few annually resolved climate proxies in arid and semi-arid regions. Columnar cactuses are common in these regions and the stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen in durable spines record variations in rainfall, humidity and ecophysiology as they grow in series along the sides of cactuses. Despite their spines, columnar cactuses provide important ecosystem resources and services in drought prone areas, however, the impact that long-term climate variability and infrequent storms (El Niño or tropical storms) have on the ecology and ecophysiology of columnar cactus is less clear. Stable isotopes in trees and corals serve as useful proxies of climate and ecophysiological information, but for cactus we lack the most rudimentary information about the isotopic systems and their links to the environment. Here, we present an isotopic framework that begins with developing semi-empirical mechanistic models of δC, δO and δH variation in saguaro cactuses that link physical and physiological fractionation factors in stem water and spines to rainfall and humidity. We also review a novel method for determining the age of spines, an important step in developing useful chronologies of isotopic variation in spines. The mechanistic models combined with local climate records enhance our understanding of isotopic variation in daily and annually dated spine δC and δO records and explain the statistical association of δC and δO in spines with rainfall, vapor pressure deficit, and El Niño enhanced winter rains. While there are still some challenges to overcome, we expect that isotopic spine series will be used as climate proxies to answer questions regarding regional climate variability or to enhance current models of past and future climates. Likewise,
