Objetivo: Avaliar o consumo alimentar de pacientes com neoplasia gastrointestinal internados no hospital universitário referência em oncologia. Metodologia: Estudo transversal, realizado com pacientes com neoplasia do trato gastrointestinal, com idade >18 anos, atendidos em um Hospital Universitário. Os dados foram coletados através de questionário socioeconômico, recordatório 24h e frequência alimentar. Utilizou-se o programa BioEstat 5.0, sendo aplicado o teste Exato de Fisher, com nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). Resultados: Dos 47 pacientes avaliados, 61,70% eram homens (n = 29), com idade média de 57+14 anos, com mínimo de 18 e máximo de 81 anos. A maioria era analfabeto (59,57%); possuía 1 salário mínimo (59,57%); residia na capital (55,32%); e apresentava o tumor no estômago (74,47%). Quanto a ingestão alimentar, segundo o VET e PTN, os pacientes encontram-se com inadequação estatisticamente significativa, apresentando ingestão classificada abaixo do recomendado, (p<0.0001) e (p = 0.0468), respectivamente; e média de ingestão inadequada (p <0.0001) e (p = 0.0439), respectivamente. Em relação aos alimentos promotores foi constatado que 27.71% consumiam conservados em sal; 24,10% frituras; 43,37% margarina; 16,87% bebiam refrigerantes diariamente e 34,9% enlatados semanalmente. Quanto aos alimentos protetores verificou-se um consumo diário de 19,28% de frutas, 15,25% de hortaliças sem amido, 33,73% hortaliças com amido e 19,28% farelo de aveia. Conclusão: Conclui-se que tanto a ingesta habitual quanto a atual demonstram a presença de hábitos alimentares que são promotores a neoplasias. A baixa ingesta de alimentos in natura, antioxidantes e imunomoduladores são indicadores de riscos para neoplasias que acometem o sistema gastrointestinal.

The purpose of research is to study the effect of hormonal stimulation of drones during varroa infestation on live weight, hemolymph volume and sperm concentration in the process of individual development. The experiments were carried out on bee colonies of the Carpathian breed. To carry out the experiments, 6 groups of families of analogues were formed. Groups 1 to 5 included families affected by varroa, the percentage of mite infestation of which did not exceed 20 %. The 6th control group included conditionally healthy bee colonies, the mite burden of which did not exceed 4 %. Live weight and hemolymph volume were determined on the 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days of drone development. The sperm concentration per mm3 was determined on the 28th day of drone development. High indicators of live weight of drones were recorded on the 28th day in the 2nd group, where honey satiety with the addition of the queen bee hormone-pheromone was used as a stimulating feeding. Sick bees were inferior in body weight to group 2 by 26 %, and healthy bees by 10.2 %. Group 2 was also the leader in terms of hemolymph volume on days 21 and 28. On the 28th day of development, sick drones were inferior in hemolymph volume to group 2 by 56.5 %, and healthy ones – by 24.8 %. At the end of the experiments, the largest number of sperm was recorded in drones of the 4th group, where honey satiety with the addition of gonadotropin was used as a stimulating feeding. As a result, stimulating feeding with gonadotropin and the queen bee hormone-pheromone has a positive effect on live weight, hemolymph volume and sperm concentration in drones.

The article studies organizational and managerial aspects of a business’s financial and economic security in the sectoral and spatial context. The goal is to study the organizational and managerial aspects of the financial and economic security of doing business in the sectoral and spatial context. The essence of managing the financial and economic security of business and the key factors affecting the financial stability of enterprises of the leading industries in the conditions of the modern economic environment are determined. An analysis of the performance indicators of enterprises by the main sectors of the economy of Ukraine was carried out, which allowed us to identify the main gaps. It was emphasized that in connection with the full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, the impact of hostilities on the economy has significantly increased due to targeted attacks on the country’s critical infrastructure and depletion of financial reserves of the population and business and conducted research of enterprises by main types of activity. Particular attention is paid to the systematic financial and economic security management approach, including developing practical tools for countering risks and threats. The importance of regional features for ensuring business stability and financial and economic security in the post-war period is studied. The conceptual foundations of the financial and economic security of business determined during the conducted research prove the need to form an organizational and management system for its support, which will affect the effectiveness of business activities in the conditions of a changing external environment. Strengthening a business’s financial and economic security in the sectoral and spatial context requires applying a complex and systematic approach to the definition of organizational, institutional, economic, informational, and motivational measures to improve the basic principles of financial and economic security. It was determined that ensuring the financial and economic security of business should take place in all areas and spheres of activity, and one of the most effective tools, in this case, is an organizational and management mechanism, with the help of which it is possible to achieve a solution to problems without pecking business activity on the way to the post-war recovery of the economy of Ukraine. Keywords: management of financial and economic security, business, mechanism, management system, region.

Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the theoretical approach to determining the essence and features of communication strategies as planning communication documents used by local self-government bodies to involve the target audience and the local population in management at the local and national levels. The author defines the standard and distinctive features of communication and communication strategies and outlines the areas of their use. A communication strategy is a document defined as a strategic communication guideline for the planned implementation of informational influence to raise awareness of the planned changes and form appropriate behavior patterns of potential and existing target audiences and target groups of the local community. The expediency of using the complex system approach COMBI (Communication for Behavioral Impact) in developing and implementing communication strategies is substantiated. Careful development and successful implementation of a communication strategy can increase the effectiveness of decision-making by local self-government bodies and contribute to forming the community as a full-fledged subject of local self-government. Emphasis is placed on informativeness, credibility, the accuracy of messages, and the level of their perception by target audiences to evaluate communication strategies. It was established that the structure of the communication strategy should include such elements as compliance with strategic goals, determination of expected behavior, situation analysis, development of messages and their preliminary testing, development of an action plan, explanation of means of control over implementation, monitoring and assessment of impact, development of schedule and implementation plan, as well as determination of resources and budget. The types of communication strategies that can be developed and implemented at the regional level are summarized, and their strategic goals and hierarchical structures are supplemented. The author’s classification of communication strategies according to the following characteristics is presented: type of actor, goal, region, sector, and influence. Keywords: communicative interaction, public administration bodies, communication strategies, development of local self-government, local community, development strategies and programs, components of communication strategies, types of communication strategies.

Published: June 2024

The presented material reveals the economic aspects of the effectiveness of the forest industry in the context of the formation of the anticrisis management system. Taking into account the fact that for the second year in a row a single specialized enterprise has been operating in the state forestry sector of Ukraine, the above summaries of its activities should be in demand in the expert and civil circles, as well as among foresterspractitioners. The author analyzed the financial results of the State Enterprise "Forests of Ukraine" for 2023, which have a positive tendency to increase - the company received a net profit in the amount of UAH 2.87 billion with a net income from the sale of products of UAH 23.06 billion, which is much higher than similar performance indicators for 2022 (during the period when more than 150 legal entities operated on the state forestry market). At the same time, it was noted that the largest share in the products sold by the enterprise is occupied by round lumber, firewood for industrial and non-industrial use (83.3%), which indicates an increase in felling volumes, compared to the same previous reporting period. The article presents the results of the analysis of the liquidity of the State Enterprise "Forests of Ukraine", which, despite the decrease in the coefficient of current and total liquidity, are approaching the normative value. That is, the indicator of business activity is increasing at the enterprise and its assets are more involved in financial and economic activity. At the same time, the author notes a negative decrease in the value of the ratio of provision of own current assets, which indicates a decline in the amount of own current assets for financing the total current assets of the enterprise. In general, in the context of ensuring the formation of the system of anti-crisis management of forestry in Ukraine, its reformation into a single legal entity contributed to increasing the profitability of the industry in the short term. The main directions of the formation of the system of anticrisis management of forestry in Ukraine are summarized.

Published: June 2024

Специфической особенностью главного судового дизеля является наличие ограничительной характеристики, защищающей дизель от перегрузки по моменту. При экстремальных режимах крутизна винтовой характеристики возрастает, и автоматика, защищающая дизель от перегрузки, ограничивает диапазон режимов и величину движущей (или тормозящей) силы, создаваемой пропульсивным комплексом. В статье рассматриваются результаты имитационного моделирования экстремальных режимов движения судна – движение в ледяном поле и режим экстренного торможения. В качестве инструмента исследования использована компьютерная модель пропульсивного комплекса танкера ледового класса, оборудованного реверсивным малооборотным дизелем и винтом регулируемого шага. Показана возможность обеспечения оборотов дизеля и упора гребного винта, достаточных для преодоления сопротивления ледового поля путём последовательного уменьшения шага винта. В режиме экстренного торможения судна показана предпочтительность способа торможения путем перекладки лопастей ВРШ по сравнению с применением реверса двигателя и установлена возможность получения минимальных значений времени торможения и выбега судна за счет выбора оптимальной команды на перекладку лопастей ВРШ.

A specific feature of the main marine diesel engine is the presence of a limiting characteristic that protects the diesel engine from torque overload. Under extreme conditions, the steepness of the propeller characteristic increases, and the automation that protects the diesel engine from overload limits the range of modes and the magnitude of the driving (or braking) force created by the propulsion complex. The article discusses the results of simulation modeling of extreme modes of vessel movement - movement in an ice field and emergency braking mode. As a research tool, a computer model of the propulsion complex of an ice-class tanker equipped with a reversible low-speed diesel engine and an adjustable pitch propeller was used. The possibility of ensuring diesel engine speed and propeller thrust sufficient to overcome the resistance of the ice field by successively reducing the propeller pitch is shown. In the mode of emergency braking of a vessel, the preference of the method of braking by repositioning the rotating propeller propeller blades is shown in comparison with the use of engine reverse, and the possibility of obtaining minimum values of the braking time and the vessel's run-out is established by choosing the optimal command to reposition the rotating propulsion propeller blades.

Analysis of Blue Ocean Strategies on the Performance of Roofing Sheet Manufacturers in Kenya
Authors: Mutua Justice , Chacha Charity
Published: May 2024

The production and uptake of locally manufactured roofing sheets have been on a steady downward trajectory over the last ten years, leading to a significant decline in revenue and employment in the sector. Kenya's roofing sheet production fell more than 8 percent in 2019 following a decline that started with weakening demand in 2010. Blue ocean strategies prescribe a path to positively sustaining performance by shifting firms from cut-throat market competition (the red ocean) to a wide-open new, uncontested market space (the blue ocean). The main purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of blue ocean strategies on the performance of roofing sheet manufacturers in Kenya. The specific objectives of this study were to establish the effect of value innovation strategy, examine the effect of customer acquisition strategy, evaluate the effect of competitor elimination strategy on the performance of roofing sheet manufacturers in Kenya. The study adopted a mixed research method and employed a descriptive research design. The target population consisted of 241 employees drawn from all the fifteen (15) roofing sheet manufacturers in Kenya registered with the Kenya Association of Manufactures (KAM), from whom a sample size of one hundred and twenty-seven (127) employees was selected using the Krejcie and Morgan table formula. The findings of this study have illuminated a statistically significant positive effect of Blue Ocean strategies on firm performance, albeit with variations among specific strategies. These statistics imply that 51% of the variance in the performance of roofing sheet manufacturers can be attributed to the adoption of the blue ocean strategy. Consequently, the study recommends that roofing sheet manufacturers must prioritize the adoption of need-based value innovation and customer acquisition strategies overall blue ocean strategies over any other strategies therein to ensure sustainable performance

Aim: Osteoporosis (OP) is caused by imbalanced bone remodelling homeostasis. It is highly prevalent, especially in post-menopausal women, resulting in high risk of fracture and morbidity. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are osteoblast progenitors, and orchestrate the function of surrounding cells including osteoblasts. Understanding MSC phenotype and function is therefore critical in discerning the aetiology of OP and developing superior therapies. Currently, adequate long-term therapeutic strategies are not available.
Methods: Bioinformatic analysis of ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) data revealed differential expression of genes primarily related to osteogenic differentiation and proliferation, followed by confirmatory in vitro analysis.
Results: This study identified novel and previously proposed targets for therapeutic intervention in OP. Functional assessment demonstrated reduced MSC number and osteogenic capacity associated with OP. Proliferation was not affected but OP was unexpectedly associated with a reduction in MSC adipogenic differentiation capacity, correlating with donor age.
Conclusions: These data indicate specific targets for further studies of future treatments for OP, including the assessment of modified MSCs as therapeutics. Advances in this area may contribute to reducing fracture-associated morbidity and mortality, and improving quality of life for the 200 million people living with OP globally.

doble instancia en la jurisdicción contencioso-administrativa y el principio de inmediación: una deferencia mal entendida al juzgador de primera instancia
Authors: Ferrer Beltrán Jordi
Published: June 2024

Hay un cierto consenso en la doctrina administrativista acerca de la conveniencia de introducir de forma generalizada la segunda instancia en el proceso contencioso-administrativo. Una concepción amplia de la segunda instancia requiere la apertura a la revisión de los aspectos jurídicos como de los fácticos del razonamiento judicial de la sentencia de primera instancia. Sin embargo, para que ello sea posible, es necesario que se abandone la concepción persuasiva de la prueba, hoy mayoritaria en la jurisprudencia contencioso-administrativa, y se dote de el contenido adecuado al principio de inmediación, de forma acorde con la concepción racional de la prueba.

BACKGROUND

At present, liver transplantation (LT) is one of the best treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Accurately predicting the survival status after LT can significantly improve the survival rate after LT, and ensure the best way to make rational use of liver organs.

AIM

To develop a model for predicting prognosis after LT in patients with HCC.

METHODS

Clinical data and follow-up information of 160 patients with HCC who underwent LT were collected and evaluated. The expression levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin, Golgi protein 73, cytokeratin-18 epitopes M30 and M65 were measured using a fully automated chemiluminescence analyzer. The best cutoff value of biomarkers was determined using the Youden index. Cox regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors. A forest model was constructed using the random forest method. We evaluated the accuracy of the nomogram using the area under the curve, using the calibration curve to assess consistency. A decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical utility of the nomograms.

RESULTS

The total tumor diameter (TTD), vascular invasion (VI), AFP, and cytokeratin-18 epitopes M30 (CK18-M30) were identified as important risk factors for outcome after LT. The nomogram had a higher predictive accuracy than the Milan, University of California, San Francisco, and Hangzhou criteria. The calibration curve analyses indicated a good fit. The survival and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of high-risk groups were significantly lower than those of low- and middle-risk groups (P < 0.001). The DCA shows that the model has better clinical practicability.

CONCLUSION

The study developed a predictive nomogram based on TTD, VI, AFP, and CK18-M30 that could accurately predict overall survival and RFS after LT. It can screen for patients with better postoperative prognosis, and improve long-term survival for LT patients.

Indonesia’s Pulp Export Performance In the China Market: An Analysis Using Almost Ideal Demand System Approach
Authors: Natalia Evi , Simangunsong Bintang , Manurung Elisa Ganda Togu
Published: June 2024

Indonesia is one of the world's leading pulp producers. Both domestic consumption and global demand are increasing annually. As Indonesia seeks to meet the escalating global demand for pulp raw materials, China is emerging as a major destination for its exports, which underscores the strategic importance of this market. This study aims to evaluate the comparative advantage of Indonesian pulp exports and to identify the price, cross-price and expenditure elasticities of pulp demand in the Chinese market. Using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method and the Linear Approximation-Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) model, this research analyzes annual time series data covering the period 2003-2022, focusing on the quantity and export value of chemical pulp (HS 470329). The results show that Indonesian pulp has a comparative advantage in the Chinese market, as indicated by Indonesia's RCA index greater than one. However, this comparative advantage is declining over time. At the same time, China's sustained increase in pulp consumption underscores the intensified competition among pulp-exporting countries for market share in China. Using the LA/AIDS model, the estimation results highlight a different dynamic in the Chinese pulp market: Japanese pulp emerges as a complementary product to Indonesian pulp, while Thailand and Brazilian pulp act as substitutes. These findings have valuable strategic implications for Indonesian policymakers and industry stakeholders in managing the complexities of global pulp trade dynamics

There are many media campaign models, one of which is an animated music video. In 2021, an animated music video entitled “Sabda Alam” by students of SMK Raden Umar Said (RUS) Kudus won appreciation from national and international filmmakers at the Balinale International Film Festival 2021. As an audio visual-based campaign design, “Sabda Alam” has become one of the creative economic product models produced by vocational high school students. This video presents a narrative about the life of endemic birds in Indonesia that are threatened with extinction. The urgency of the issue of endangered species underlies the importance of this study to analyze the structure of visual narratives in animated music video designs that is able to carry campaign messages in ways that attract attention. This research uses a combination method, namely qualitative and quantitative analysis using a paradigmatic and syntagmatic structural approach in semiotic theory. Qualitatively, examines the visual narrative of animated music videos based on three storyline structures, namely the beginning, middle, and ending storyline. In each part of the storyline, analysis refers to the visualization of visual signs of the subject, event, and setting in the scene. While quantitatively, this study formulates the audience's level of understanding of the campaign message in the animated music video. The results of the analysis of the structure of the visual narrative show that there are paradigmatic associations from the scenes that link the existence of interest as a message clue. While syntagmatically, analysis refers to the existence of a function in the scene about something. The two are interrelated to produce a campaign message about the importance of protecting endemic birds in Indonesia. This study can be an academic reference, both in vocational high schools and universities, in developing inspiring campaign media designs in the creative industry.
Multi-Sensory Environments and Inclusive Sensory Engagement at Durham County Library

Published: May 2024

Durham County Library was one of the first public libraries in the country with dedicated Multi-Sensory Environments for patrons of all ages. Durham County Library’s Multi-Sensory Environments are modeled after those that were originally designed in the Netherlands in the 1970s for therapeutic use, particularly for people with autism, developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and/or dementia. After several years of bringing limited library programming to the disability community, Durham County Library was awarded a two-year LSTA project grant for July 2018 through June 2020. The initiative, “Practicing Inclusivity,” was in part to develop these dedicated sensory spaces.

One of the development indicators for the development of a region is the increase in population growth and the community's economy. Tanjung Pinggir Village is one of the areas in the Sekupang District where the development of the area is less vibrant when compared to other areas in the Sekupang District. Regional development activities can be carried out by studying the potential aspects of the population and economic aspects of the region. This study aims to discuss the population and economic growth sector in the development of the Tanjung Pinggir Village area, then map its potential and opportunities and provide recommendations for regional development based on a descriptive and SWOT approach. The data used are secondary data and primary data. The results of the SWOT analysis were obtained through secondary and primary data processing with an orientation toward optimizing the utilization of the functions of residential/residential areas and the functions of trade and service areas in supporting the development of the Tanjung Pinggir Village area, Sekupang District.

Published: June 2024

Esta investigación abordó el problema de determinar los métodos de curado más efectivos para alcanzar las resistencias a la compresión y tracción indirecta deseadas en concretos de alta resistencia f'c=35 MPa. El objetivo fue analizar y comparar la incidencia de tres métodos de curado: inmersión, mantas húmedas y aditivo membranil, en las propiedades mecánicas endurecidas del concreto. Se elaboraron 80 especímenes cilíndricos y se aplicaron los métodos de curado, evaluando las resistencias a 7 y 28 días. Los resultados mostraron que el curado por inmersión fue el más efectivo, alcanzando 43.32 MPa en resistencia a compresión y 4.04 MPa en tracción indirecta a los 28 días, superando a los otros métodos y muestras sin curado. Le siguieron el curado con mantas húmedas y membranil. Se concluyó que el curado es crucial para el desarrollo óptimo de las resistencias, siendo el método por inmersión el más efectivo, aunque la selección debe adaptarse a las condiciones ambientales locales para maximizar las propiedades del concreto.

The spatial variability in the geometallurgical attributes of the deposits is a crucial parameter from the exploration stage, which conditions and influences the mineral processing. Consequently, the objective of this research is to elaborate the geometallurgical simulation of the Bond Work Index for a porphyry copper deposit. For this purpose, information of primary and response attributes corresponding to ore zones, lithologies and BWi contained in 1,449 samples of exploratory drill holes were used. An exploratory data analysis of this information was carried out, and geometallurgical units were defined based on the geological and processing knowledge that validates the behavior of each one of them within the deposit; then Sequential Gaussian Simulation was applied, running 100 realizations in each GMU, those that best reproduce the statistics of the original samples were chosen. The results show that the lithology of the deposit controls the BWi variability and according to the rock competence the ore zones are classified from the softest to the hardest in oxides, mixed and sulfides.
