Background: The patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma very often developed hepatic metastases. Resection of them still remains the best treatment of disease. Hepatectomy carried about 20% mortality rate. The most important intraoperative factor is major hemorrhage and hypotension and postoperatively the main reasons are hemorrhage, coagulopathy, renal failure, pulmonary, and cardiac disturbance till biliary fistula and liver failure.  Anesthesia and perioperative management have resulted in diminished value of mortality and morbidity at the same time.

Aim: The aim of this study is to submit our experience in anesthesia and perioperative management in liver resection of hepatic metastases in CRC patients.

Material and Methods: In that retrospective study we enrolled 6 patients ASAII- III, from January to July 2019. All patients treated for liver malignancy diagnosis after colorectal carcinoma in elective surgery and received general anesthesia with fentanyl 1-2μg/kg/h, profolol 4.0μg/kg/min via target controlled infusion and vecuronium 0.001mg/kg/min and sevofluran 2%. All patients are monitored with continuous central venous pressure(CVP).  We recorded mean artery pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), CVP, amount of transfusion, incidence of complications and discharge from intensive care and hospital.

Results: Female/male report was 66,6% vs. 33.4%. The ages of patients were 53-72 years with a mean ± SD age of 65.1 ± 9.5 years. CVP was 0-5. Amount of blood was 2.5 unite during intervention. Average of days in intensive care was 3.83. Renal compromised was 3%. Ascites and edema was 50%.  All patients were discharged home after 14.66 days.

Conclusion: Optimizing hemodynamic and fluid administration and reduced the administration of blood therapy using low CVP (0-5).

Background: The respect of the needs and wishes of the patients is in the focus of the human health system. The experience of the parents in terms of child’s health care may be used as an indicator of quality of the health care.

Material and methods: The research is a quantitative analytical cross-sectional study. In accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, simple random sample of 207 parents / guardians is covered, whose children in the period of three months, had been hospitalized in the hospital department JZUU Pediatric Surgery Clinic in Skopje.It was used a two parted questionnaire. The first part is a standardized questionnaire (Parent Experience of Pediatric Care - PECP), and the second part concerns the general socio-demographic data of the parent/guardian. Statistical evaluation was performed using appropriate statistical programs (Statistics for Windows 7,0 and SPSS 17.0).

Results: In accordance with the age of the parents, the survey respondents were divided into two groups: a) age ≤ 33 years - 107 (51.69%) and b) age> 33 years - 100 (48.31%).Significant independent predictor of parental satisfaction from the receipt of their child to the clinic research confirms the age of the parent under / over 33 years due to 4.1% of the change in satisfaction (R2 = 0,041). Parents generally believe that their children's room of the clinic is "good", without significant difference between parental satisfaction from both age groups (Mann-Whitney U Test Z = -0,9613 p = 0,3364). Significant independent predictor of parental satisfaction from the room of their child improves the health status after treatment due to 6% of the change in satisfaction (R2 = 0,060). Parents generally believe that testing and treatment of their children in the clinic was "very good" and an independent significant predictor is to improve the health status after the treatment - 7,8% (R2 = 0,078).

Conclusions: Regardless of the generally good parental satisfaction about health care for their children, it is necessary to continuously monitor the status of the clinic in order to consider the possible deficiencies and needs of intervention.

The dynamic expansion of cyber threats poses an urgent need for the development of new methods, methods, and systems for their detection. The subject of the study is the process of ensuring the resilience of computer systems in the presence of cyber threats. The goal is to develop a self-adaptive method for computer systems resilience in the presence of cyberattacks. Results. The article presents a self-adaptive system to ensure the resilience of corporate networks in the presence of botnets’ cyberattacks. Resilience is provided by adaptive network reconfiguration. It is carried out using security scenarios selected based on a cluster analysis of the collected network features inherent cyberattacks. To select the necessary security scenarios, the proposed method uses fuzzy semi-supervised c-means clustering. To detect host-type cyberattacks, information about the hosts’ network activity and reports of host antiviruses are collected. To detect the network type attacks, the monitoring of network activity is carried out, which may indicate the appearance of a cyberattack. According to gathered in the network information concerning possible attacks performed by botnet the measures for the resilient functioning of the network are assumed. To choose the needed scenario for network reconfiguration, the clustering is performed. The result of the clustering is the scenario with the list of the requirement for the reconfiguration of the network parameters, which will assure the network’s resilience in the situation of the botnet’s attacks. As the mean of the security scenario choice, the semi-supervised fuzzy c-means clustering was used. The clustering is performed based on labeled training data. The objects of the clustering are the feature vectors, obtained from a payload of the inbound and outbound traffic and reports of the antiviral tool about possible hosts’ infection. The result of clustering is a degree of membership of the feature vectors to one of the clusters. The membership of feature vector to cluster gives an answer to question what scenario of the network reconfiguration is to be applied in the situation of the botnet’s attack. The system contains the clusters that indicate the normal behavior of the network. The purpose of the method is to select security scenarios following cyberattacks carried out by botnets to mitigate the consequences of attacks and ensure a network functioning resilience. Conclusions. The self-adaptive method for computer systems resilience in the presence of cyberattacks has been developed. Based on the proposed method, a self-adaptive attack detection, and mitigation system has been developed. It demonstrates the ability to ensure the resilient functioning of the network in the presence of botnet cyberattacks at 70 %.

Published: January 2020

The subject of this study is the pixel-by-pixel controlled classification of multichannel satellite images distorted by additive white Gaussian noise. The paper aim is to study the effectiveness of various methods of image classification in a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios; an F-measure is used as a criterion for recognition efficiency. It is a harmonic mean of accuracy and completeness: accuracy shows how much of the objects identified by the classifier as positive are positive; completeness shows how much of the positive objects were allocated by the classifier. Tasks: generate random valuesof the brightness of the noise components, ensuring their compliance with the accepted probabilistic model; implement the procedures of element-wise controlled classification according to the methods of support vectors, logistic regression, neural network based on a multilayer perceptron for images distorted by noise; evaluate and analyze the results of objects bezel-wise classification of noisy images; investigate the effect of noise variance on classification performance. The following results are obtained. Algorithms of pixel-by-pixel controlled classification are implemented. A comparative analysis of classification efficiency in noisy images is performed. Conclusions are drawn. It is shown that all classifiers provide the best results for classes that mainly correspond to areal objects (Water, Grass) while heterogeneous objects (Urban and, especially, Bushes) are recognized in the worst way; classifiers based on the support vector machine and logistic regression show low recognition accuracy of extended objects, such as a narrow river (that belongs to the wide class of "water"). The presence of noise in the image leads to a significant increase in the number of recognition errors, which mainly appear as isolated points on the selected segments, that is, incorrectly classified pixels. In this case, the best value of the classification quality indicator is achieved using neural networks based on a multilayer perceptron.
THE MATRIX PROCEDURES FOR CALCULATION OF IMPORTANCE MEASURES
Authors: Zaitseva Elena , Sedlacek Peter , Forgac Andrej
Published: January 2020

System reliability/availability is a complex concept that is evaluated based on numerous indices and measures. There are different methods for the calculation of these indices and measures in reliability analysis. Some of the most used indices are important measures. These measures allow us to evaluate the influence of fixed system components or set of components to the system reliability/availability. Importance measures are used today to allow for various aspects of the impact of system elements on its failure or operability. Analysis of element importance is used in the system design, diagnosis, and optimization. In this paper new algorithms for the calculation, some of the important measures are developed based on the matrix procedures. This paper's goal is the development of a new algorithm to calculate importance measures of the system based on the matrix procedures that can be transformed in the parallel procedures/algorithms. These algorithms are developed based on the application of Logical Differential Calculus of Boolean logic for the important analysis of the system. The application of parallel algorithms in importance analysis allows the evaluation of the system of large dimensions. Importance specific of the proposed matrix procedures for calculation of importance measures is the application of structure-function for the mathematical representation of the investigated system. This function defined the correlation of the system components states and system reliability/ availability. The structure-function, in this case, is defined as a truth vector to be used in the matrix transformation. The truth vector of a Boolean function is a column of the truth table of function if the values of the variables are lexicographically ordered. Therefore, the structure-function of any system can be represented by the truth vector of 2n elements un-ambiguously.

The construction concept and general principles of the operation of a new kind of finite state machine are presented, for which the input and output elements are panels of square matrices, and the transitions between their states are determined by numerical tensors of the third rank. In this case, the structure of the tensors is specified in the form of cubic grids, in whose cells' natural numbers are located according to the principle of Sudoku construction. An algorithm for constructing such tensors of arbitrary size is indicated. The structures of tensors constructed using ranked sets of natural numbers are defined as standard. It is shown that the possibility of determining Sudoku type tensors using a one-dimensional parameter is basic for the manifestation of their functional self-similarity. The property of additive conservation of the structure of numerical tensors of the third rank to the requirements of Sudoku is formulated as a theorem. It is proved that the tensor obtained by summing an arbitrary tensor structure and a constant, taking into account the introduced cyclic ranking rule, satisfies the general requirements of Sudoku. The problems of abstract and structural synthesis of finite state machine based on the analyzed tensor structures are considered. In this case, the task of abstract synthesis has traditionally been defined as the creation of a mathematical model of an automaton, and the task of structural synthesis is just the development of its functional logical scheme. Based on the ambiguity of the function of the output of the finite state machine, the possibility of the simultaneous use of several different output alphabets is substantiated. The modes of functioning of the minimal finite state machine of the proposed type are described by the example of an initial state machine with a distinguished standard initial state. In the general case, it is shown that the finite state machines defined on the group of these requirements can be attributed to generalized first-order finite-state machines (or Mealy machines) with a multi-valued output. The features of network applications of structural automata are presented. Variants of possible applications of the considered finite state machines are analyzed.

Training on Creating AutoPlay Based Learning Media for Teacher Working Groups in Geger District, Bangkalan Regency
Media becomes a tool that is needed by educators to create a pleasant atmosphere of a learning process. In the learning process, teachers should use interactive media as a medium for delivering information. Media in the learning process is intended to facilitate the teacher in conveying messages, information, or subject matter to students. This service program was aimed to provide mentoring to teachers in creating interactive learning media based on AutoPlay. This service program is carried out by two methods. The first was the public education method, namely training and mentoring for teachers in creating learning media with various applications, especially AutoPlay. This training method was an effort to educate and train partners to be able to use computers to produce exciting learning media. The second was the substitution of a science-and-technology method, which provided an overview of how to use technology in making learning media. The result of the implementation of this service was an increase in the knowledge and skills of teachers, reaching 90% of the 20 teachers who participated in the service program. On average, 80% of teachers were able to implement AutoPlay media in the learning process. The use of AutoPlay media in learning made students more motivated in learning.
Subjective quality of life of informal caregivers aged 50–69 in Poland
Authors: Abramowska-Kmon Anita , Maciejasz Magdalena
Published: January 2020

Providing informal care to adults, especially elderly people, may affect many aspects of caregivers’ life, such as: physical and mental health, financial situation, social contacts, etc. Supporting dependent seniors is associated to a higher level of stress, burden and depression as well as higher mortality. The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship between caregiving for adults and the subjective quality of life among Poles aged 50–69. We took into account not only the fact of providing care to adult people, but also its beginning, continuation and ending between waves. We assumed that subjective quality of life may be expressed by two variables: one describing life satisfaction, and the second one – loneliness. We used the panel subsample from the Generation and Gender Surveys (GGS) carried out in Poland in 2010/2011 and in 2014. We found a negative effect of stopping caregiving between waves on wellbeing of women-carers, which may be related to the loss of a close person. Moreover, providing care for a longer period of time increases loneliness, which confirms that providing support to others may lead to isolation and smaller social networks.
Demographic dynamics, urban-rural divides and the (changing) mother's age at birth in Greece: a regional analysis, 1980–2016
Authors: Salvati Luca , Zambon Ilaria
Published: January 2020

Being more sensitive to economic fluctuations, childbearing postponement increased during the second demographic transition and was accompanied by a moderate decline in the number of children per woman and the progressive rise of mother’s age at first birth. Under the hypothesis that recessions have a marked influence on population dynamics, the present study investigates spatial changes in mother’s age at birth in Greece with the aim to assess the differential impact of economic crisis along the urban-rural gradient. The percent composition of births by mother's age class – considered a gross indicator of fertility under a changing socioeconomic context – was studied at 4 spatial scales (the whole country, administrative regions, prefectures and metropolitan areas or specific economic districts) over an economic cycle from expansion to recession (1980–2016). While stimulating childbearing postponement observed since the early 1980s, empirical results of this study indicate that the 2007 recession was quite neutral on fertility trends in Greece, consolidating the traditional divide between urban and rural areas.

In the production of atemoya rootstocks (Annona cherimola Mill. x Annona squamosa L.), the seed propagation is hindered by dormancy resulting in low germination, similar to temperature that affects the percentage, speed, and uniformity of germination. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of constant and alternating temperature on the seed germination of three atemoya genotypes: ‘Gefner’, ‘Thompson’ and ‘PR-1’ at 25°C and 20-30°C (8-16h) using germination paper in absence of light, with four samples of 25 seeds per treatment. The evaluations occurred each seven days up to 35 days, which were assessed: germinated seeds, seedlings, dormant seeds and germination speed index. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial arrangement of 3x2, using four replications. The water content, fresh and dry matter of 100 seeds were analyzed in a completely randomized scheme with four replications. The alternating temperature 20-30°C provided favorable condition and higher germination percentage for atemoya seeds, achieving 0.638 for germination speed index and 37% for percentage of germination at 35 days. ‘Gefner’ and ‘Thompson’ cultivars presented higher percentage of germination than ‘PR-1’.

Published: January 2020

Diabetes mellitus is co-morbid with various metabolic and psychological disorders characterized by high blood glucose levels due to defects in insulin availability in body. Glucose work as a fuel to provide energy for all physical activities whereas in type 1 diabetes, the beta cells in the pancreas becomes unable to make insulin because of autoimmune disease, consequently there is no insulin to convert glucose leading to low energy level and other metabolic disorders. The disease is also called juvenile diabetes as usually starts to appear in childhood, that cannot be controlled but can be managed by timely diagnosis and care. The present study covers the case of a young child having type 1 diabetes in childhood and its consequences. The child inherited from paternal grandmother however other siblings were deficit. The case was become complicated because of poor timely investigations and management. Furthermore weak awareness and inappropriate healthcare practices made the disease more knotty. The work also covers the measures that should be taken by the health care providers through proper counseling and educating the parents and family, furthermore an accurate guidelines regarding nutrition, medications should be utmost. Self identification of having diabetes is necessary for school going children in order to manage abrupt hypoglycemic corollaries.

In the elderly, physical activity is essential in maintaining good health. In a resource constrained environment, where supervised exercise classes are conducted once a week, a suitable home exercise programme can provide the recommended weekly level of physical activity needed. The Otago Exercise Programme(OEP) is effective in the prevention of falls and increasing strength in the older adult. The efficacy of the OEP as a supplementary intervention to exercise classes; on falls, balance and health enhancing physical activity in the older adult with chronic lower back pain (CLBP) has not been reported. Mr X regularly attends the weekly land-based and aquatic exercise programme at a tertiary hospital in the public sector in Kwa Zulu-Natal. He demonstrated willingness to follow the OEP as prescribed by the Otago exercise manual as a home exercise programme and continued with other leisure, walking and activities of daily living. Post the exercise programme Mr X showed remarkable improvement in the chair to stand test, four-test balance scale and health enhanced physical activity. The OEP is effective and can be used as a supplemental programme to regular supervised exercise classes. The OEP can be beneficial for elderly patients with weakness and chronic lower back pain.
