Published: July 2024

Generally, when fabricating porous filters using metal powder, about 1 to 2 wt% of a binder is added to increase the formability of the metal powder. If the binder is not completely removed through a debinding and sintering process, however it can cause defects such as discoloration and the generation of fine particles. In this study, a study was conducted to fabricate a plate-type porous stainless steel powder filter with a different pore structure without the use of a biner. First, the metal powder is charged into a ceramic mold to form a plate-shaped powder filter, and then covered with a ceramic top plate. In order to observe the pore properties according to the pressure, the unpressurized specimen and the specimen pressurized with a pressure of 30 MPa were then sintered at 1050℃ for one hour in a high vacuum atmosphere furnace. The microstructure of the sintered plate-shaped powder filter was observed through an optical microscope and in order to analyze its pore properties as a filter, gas permeability and porosity were measured using a capillary flow porometer and Archimedes’ law.

Authors: Lee Min-Jeong , Kim Hyeon-Ju , Park Manho , Lee Jungwoo , Yun Jung-Yeul
Published: July 2024

When fabricating a metal powder filter with a double-layered pore structure, which includes a microporous layer, by coating flake-shaped powder using the Wet Powder Spray (WPS) process, it is crucial to ensure that the coating is applied parallel to the surface of the metal powder filter. Failure to do so can result in a non-uniform pore structure, leading to a rapid decline in particle filtration efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the alignment of the coated flake-shaped powder on the filter surface. In this study, a metal powder filter with a double-layered pore structure was fabricated by applying a flake-shaped metal powder coating to a tube-shaped SUS316L powder filter using the WPS process. In order to improve the flake-shaped powder orientation of coating layer, the impact of the rolling process was investigated. The characteristics of the pores were analyzed based on the powder size and the rolling time. The microstructure of the fabricated metal powder filter was observed using an optical microscope, surface roughness, variations in thickness, and air permeability were analysed.

Published: July 2024

The corrosion features of 20# carbon steel, the base material of sour water stripper, in NH4Cl solution were examined in this research. The anatomical samples of the corroded parts were characterized by an X-ray diffractometer and other analytical tools. It was found to be a localized perforation caused by pitting, and the corrosion product was FeCl2. 20# steel was subjected to electrochemical testing using Tafel polarization and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The studies showed that the 20# steel’s cathodic depolarization reaction rate speeds as density rises, and that the concentration polarization gets more marked as temperature rises. The corrosion rate of 20# steel is the fastest when temperature hits its highest point of 80°C, measuring 4.7142 mm/a. When density rose from 5 to 20%, corrosion rate grew from 1.6378 to 7.2430 mm/a.

Authors: Dubey A.D. , Kumar J. , Kyratsis P. , Verma R.K.
Published: July 2024

Nowadays, fiber stacks are extensively used in the aircraft and structural component manufacturing industries. It is mainly due to their excellent mechanical and physiochemical performances. The different stacking sequences of fiber materials expand the structural properties due to high-strength carbon fiber and low-cost glass fiber. The fragile and anisotropic conduct of Carbon (Cf) and Glass (Gf) laminates generates different types of complex machining issues. This article focuses on the Drilling test of Carbon/glass fiber hybrid composites using different stacking sequences. The effect of varying stacking orders is explored in this study to identify a feasible composite. The control of varying constraints, namely, spindle speed (N), feed rate (f ), and stacking sequence (SS) of carbon (Cf) and glass fiber (Gf) reinforcement, is performed to achieve the optimal parametric condition. The finding reveals that sample A (C4G4) stacking sequence provides an acceptable value for thrust force 59.05 N and delamination 1.0001 for high drilling efficiency. The stacking technique of carbon/glass layers can be endorsed to the manufacturing sector for cost-effective composite development and a defect-free machining environment.

Published: July 2024

The probability of defects detection (POD) is developed as an efficient tool to evaluate the detection capacity of non-destructive testing methods. An experimental study has been carried out applying the magnetic particle test method with an electromagnetic yoke on welded steel joints, which contained surface defects previously characterized in shape, size and location. The test conditions were varied, such as the type of magnetization current, and the type of magnetic particle. The probability of detecting defects in welded joints evaluated by the Hit/miss method increased with the size of the defect, independent of its shape factor. Smaller defects were likely to be detected with dry magnetic particles compared to wet fluorescent ones, a50 (2,118 mm ˂ 2,469 mm), a90 (6,395 mm ˂ 6,77 mm) and a90/95 (12,12 mm ˂ 12,19 mm).

Authors: Hıdıroğlu M. , Başer T.A. , Kahraman N.
Published: July 2024

The use of advanced high-strength steel in the automotive industry is increasing in last decade. This is due to the restrictions to reduce fuel consumption and thereby decrease harmful carbon dioxide emissions. This paper aims to investigate welding properties of dissimilar resistance spot welded hot dip galvanized DP800–TBF1180 automotive steels using MFDC (Mid Frequency Direct Current) technology. LME crack occurrence due to the zinc coating was determined by magnetic particle test. The mechanical properties of welded joints were determined by tensile-shear, cross-tension and hardness measurements. The micro structural characterization was also performed in the weld zones of the joints. The appropriate welding parameter range were selected for welding processes by MFDC technology. Therefore, LME crack formation were not observed according to magnetic particle test. The highest strength was obtained as 17.60 kN and 5.51 kN by tensile-shear and cross tension tests, respectively with a welding current of 8 kA. In addition, a soft zone was found in the HAZ for both base metals. The hardness decrease in HAZ is more pronounced on the TBF1180 side. The soft zone hardness values of the sample S4 were approximately 330 HV, and the hardness values of the base material were measured in the range of 376-386 HV.

Authors: Grzejda R. , Kwiatkowski K.
Published: July 2024

The subject of the paper is the modelling of multi-bolted connections that are at the pretensioning stage. Taking a systematic approach to the modelling issue, the connection was treated as a composite of four subsystems: a bolt set, a pair of joined elements and a contact layer between them. The first part of the paper describes experimental studies to determine the contact stiffness of a pair of elements separated from an exemplary asymmetric multi-bolted connection. The normal loading and unloading direction of the contact joint was considered. The tests were performed with the use of an INSTRON 8850 servo-hydraulic testing machine equipped with an extensometer. A normal stiffness characteristic in the form of an exponential function was proposed for the tested contact joint. It will be applied in the second part of the paper, in which finite element modelling of the multi-bolted connection will be presented.

Authors: Sobociński M. , Nabrdalik M.
Published: July 2024

The paper presents the use of numerical modeling results for multivariate simulation of the manufacturing process of a wheel hub forging made of 20 HG alloy. The QForm 3D program was used to analyze the issue, which allowed to analyze the forging process without the need for expensive tools and technological tests. Based on insights from several variants of numerical calculations, new technology solutions were proposed, reducing the number of deficiencies found in industrial practice. In order to obtain full information about the phenomena occurring in the deformation process, numerical calculations were carried out in the areas of material flow, the degree of filling of blanks, the distribution of deformations and stresses in the various stages of the forging process in the die, and the elimination of defects in products. The information obtained formed the basis for proposing the optimal technology for forging wheel hubs.

Symboliczne dystanse klasowe w Polsce
Authors: Domański Henryk
Published: July 2024

Symboliczne dystanse klasowe polegają na kategoryzowaniu zjawisk społecznych: są tym, jak ludzie oceniają i porządkują siebie i innych. Opierając się na danych z badań prowadzonych metodami ilościowymi i jakościowymi próbuję ustalić, w jakiej postaci występują one w społeczeństwie polskim. Wskaźnikami oddziaływania symbolicznych dystansów klasowych na strukturę społeczną są siła zgodności w ocenie prestiżu zawodów i „sprawiedliwych” wynagrodzeń. Z przedstawionej tu analizy wynika, że zjawiska te z niejednakową siłą kształtują hierarchię społeczną. Zgodność między przekonaniami o sprawiedliwych zarobkach jest znacznie silniejsza. Wskazywałoby to na większe przyzwolenie na dystanse kreowane przez sprawiedliwość dystrybucyjną w porównaniu z prestiżem zawodów. Za oddziaływaniem symbolicznych dystansów klasowych na strukturę klasową przemawiają również wypowiedzi respondentów uzyskane metodami jakościowymi.

Authors: Popyk Anzhela , Pustułka Paula , Wójcik Małgorzata , Mondry Maria
Published: July 2024

Bullying has long-lasting consequences for mental and physical health as well as relationships, but little is known about how bullying experiences at school-age impact social behaviors–and particularly social attachment–in adulthood. This qualitative study investigates the relationship between experiencing school bullying and social attachment patterns in early adulthood. The analysis comprises a retrospective study of young adults in Poland (n = 20) who were interviewed to investigate possible connections between their peer bullying experiences and current social lives. The findings reveal three major social attachment patterns in adulthood: social cushioning, anxious withdrawal, and desperate friendship-seeking. In the first pattern, a person acquires emotional and social security through attachment to a small peer circle. In the second, a young adult prefers solitude or limited social contact to avoid further negative experiences. In the third, a person seeks to be socially recovered and approved despite multiple failures and rejections.
Dziki w mieście: analiza potocznych debat online
Authors: Rancew-Sikora Dorota , Terlikowski Adam , Kamińska Magdalena Weronika
Published: July 2024

Artykuł przedstawia analizę dyskusji internetowych o obecności dzików w mieście w szerszym kontekście wiedzy o tym gatunku i relacjach ludzi z dziką przyrodą. Przedmiotem analizy były komentarze zamieszczone pod filmami przedstawiającymi dziki w przestrzeni Trójmiasta, nagranymi i opublikowanymi przez mieszkańców. W wyniku analizy stwierdzono, że ekspresja i przypisywanie innym określonych tożsamości światopoglądowych zdawały się być ważniejsze niż szukanie rozwiązań w przedmiocie sporu i przyczyniały się do utrwalania podziałów między osobami, które miały inny obraz sytuacji. Najbardziej problematyczna była tendencja zawężenia debaty do kwestii odstrzału zwierząt oraz silne akcentowanie strachu i zagrożeń. Powodowało to, że trudniej było osobom dyskutującym dostrzec podobieństwa stanowisk w kwestiach, co do których panowała zgoda i zniechęcało do wyrażania stanowisk umiarkowanych lub ambiwalentnych. Tymczasem w obszarze podobnych i podzielanych doświadczeń leżał niewykorzystany, ze względu na infrastrukturę komunikacji, potencjał współpracy w rozwiązywaniu problemów z dzikami.

Authors: Yu Meng , Zhao Subei , Fan Xiaoyun , Lv Yuhuan , Xiang Linyu , Li Rong
Published: July 2024

Background

New trials indicated a potential of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) to reduce hyperkalemia, which might have important clinical implications, but real-world data are limited. Therefore, we examined the effect of SGLT2i on hyper- and hypokalemia occurrence using the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS).

Methods

The FAERS database was retrospectively queried from 2004q1 to 2021q3. Disproportionality analyses were performed based on the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results

There were 84 601 adverse event reports for SGLT2i and 1 321 186 reports for other glucose-lowering medications. The hyperkalemia reporting incidence was significantly lower with SGLT2i than with other glucose-lowering medications (ROR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.79–0.86). Reductions in hyperkalemia reports did not change across a series of sensitivity analyses. Compared with that with renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) alone (ROR, 4.40; 95% CI, 4.31–4.49), the hyperkalemia reporting incidence was disproportionally lower among individuals using RAASi with SGLT2i (ROR, 3.25; 95% CI, 3.06–3.45). Compared with that with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) alone, the hyperkalemia reporting incidence was also slightly lower among individuals using MRAs with SGLT-2i. The reporting incidence of hypokalemia was lower with SGLT2i than with other antihyperglycemic agents (ROR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.75–0.83).

Conclusion

In a real-world setting, hyperkalemia and hypokalemia were robustly and consistently reported less frequently with SGLT2i than with other diabetes medications. There were disproportionally fewer hyperkalemia reports among those using SGLT-2is with RAASi or MRAs than among those using RAASi or MRAs alone.

Intervention on insecure attachment for the treatment of idiopathic chronic pain in Pediatrics
Authors: Lira Rodrigo , Guerra Kátia , Costa Brena , Santos Andresa
Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain is a public health problem with a high prevalence in children and adolescents. It causes high health costs and severe burden to the quality of life of patients and their families. Since the 1950s, it has been found that primary caregiver-child attachment is paramount for the overall health of individuals and can interfere with the occurrence of several mental and physical disorders, including chronic pain. CASE REPORt: Two female teenagers with a history of mixed, idiopathic and disabling chronic pain for more than two years, culminating in hospitalization. They received an interdisciplinary approach in the first 24 hours of admission, especially from Psychology, which, since the first contact, identified significant stressors in childhood of both, including attachment insecurity, and engaged them into experiential techniques, relaxation techniques and limited reparenting, resulting in lower intensity of pain, lower need for analgesic drugs and lower disability in the first days of hospitalization and, consequently, resulting on hospital discharge. CONCLUSION: Chronic idiopathic pain in Pediatrics should be addressed by an interdisciplinary team, since the beginning. It should be recognized that the psychological component, especially the issue of insecure attachment, could be very important in etiopathogenesis, perpetuation and severity of chronic pain in many patients, so that addressing it is fundamental for therapeutic success. In addition to accelerate the recovery of the functionality and well-being of those affected, this strategy has the potential to reduce healthcare costs.

A piomiosite tropical é uma infecção muscular cujas manifestações, inicialmente, podem ser leves e inespecíficas, dificultando o diagnóstico;, porém, na maioria dos casos, evolui com prognóstico benigno. Por se tratar de um acometimento incomum, faz-se necessário discutir um caso de piomiosite tropical com complicações raras após trauma. O paciente em questão vinha em período de convalescença de dengue quando sofreu traumatismo, evoluindo com abcesso em coxa esquerda, drenado cirurgicamente, e fazendo uso de cefalexina. Antes de completar sete dias de antibiótico, retornou à emergência por piora do quadro clínico. Internado, foi realizada nova drenagem e iniciada ceftriaxona e oxacilina. Sem resposta satisfatória ao antibiótico após três dias, foi escalonado para ceftarolina. No oitavo dia de tratamento, teve uma piora do quadro infeccioso, associado a achado em tomografia de volumosa coleção mediana retrovesical. Optou-se por prescrever meropenem e linezolida e por realizar drenagem videolaparoscópica, entretanto, cinco dias após o procedimento, evoluiu com sinal de Blumberg positivo em exame físico, com confirmação de importante coleção retrovesical em ultrassom abdominal. Procedeu-se, então, à laparotomia exploratória com drenagem de coleção e, por visualização de apendicite intraoperatória, realizada apendicectomia. Após, o paciente evoluiu com melhora clínica progressiva, finalizando meropenem e linezolida até o 21º dia e recebendo alta hospitalar com orientação de acompanhamento ambulatorial.

O hiperparatireoidismo nutricional secundário é uma deficiência comum em répteis de cativeiro, podendo ocorrer pelo déficit de cálcio, o que leva, neste caso, ao sequestro desse mineral dos ossos para a manutenção do metabolismo. No geral, essa deficiência acontece devido ao manejo ambiental e alimentar incorretos, como a falta de cálcio na dieta ou falta de exposição à radiação ultravioleta, não permitindo a bioativação da vitamina D e, consequentemente, impedindo a absorção de cálcio na alimentação. Este estudo relata um caso de um gecko-leopardo, atendido no Consultório Veterinário Ilha Animal., na cidade do Rio de Janeiro – RJ. Na anamnese foi relatado que o paciente sofria de apatia, postura cifótica e andar incoordenado, além dos citados erros de manejo. Foi realizado exame radiográfico, onde foi observado redução da densidade e deformidade óssea, o que permitiu o diagnóstico de osteodistrofia metabólica, considerando também os sinais clínicos e a anamnese. Com o tratamento oral, houve melhoras do animal.
Percepción de dificultades y causas en lectura y escritura académica: autoeficacia en universitarios

Authors: Bernardo Jiménez Aránzazu , Alcántara Mora Enercida
Published: July 2024

Este artículo analiza la percepción de estudiantes universitarios de la República Dominicana, ante sus propias actividades de lectura y escritura académica. La falta de alfabetización académica se relaciona en la literatura con el fracaso en el desempeño estudiantil. Paralelamente, la autoeficacia o el autoconocimiento, se establece como uno de los factores más predictivos en la consecución de los quehaceres académicos. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo correlacional con una muestra de 344 estudiantes basado en un cuestionario de autopercepción de dificultades y causas en lectoescritura universitaria. Metodológicamente, se ha acudido a análisis de frecuencias, correlación de Pearson y pruebas no paramétricas como la U-Mann Whitney. Los resultados muestran que la autopercepción de la existencia de dificultades en lectura y escritura, difiere cuando la conciencia metacognitiva está activada a partir del reconocimiento del tipo de dificultades o causas específicas. Asimismo, se muestran diferencias estadísticas significativas en el grado de importancia atribuido a las causas del desempeño en lectura y escritura académica, entre aquellos que autoperciben dificultades y los que no. Como conclusión, se infiere que la instrucción estratégica metacognitiva podría generar una autoeficacia diferente.

El propósito de este trabajo es realizar un acercamiento al estado de la cuestión que busca indagar en las raíces del machismo y la situación de la mujer en España y Chile a fines del siglo xix y principios del siglo xx, a través de su reflejo en la literatura.Para ello, hemos decidido llevar a cabo un análisis comparativo de dos novelas de dos destacados autores de la literatura hispana: Tristana, del escritor español Benito Pérez Galdós y La última niebla, de la autora chilena María Luisa Bombal.Esta idea surge de la teoría que plantea que la obra de Galdós presenta características retomadas por Bombal. De esta manera, a través de la comparación entre las protagonistas principales de ambas novelas, buscaremos identificar las similitudes en el tratamiento del machismo por parte de ambos autores en sus respectivas sociedades.

Neste artigo serão avaliados os fatores de risco e proteção para futuras tentativas e suicídio completo. Atualmente, não há meios precisos que garantam a predição do desfecho de uma fatalidade relacionada ao comportamento suicida. Sendo assim, a anamnese, o exame psíquico e a avaliação dos fatores mencionados são as ferramentas atuais que auxiliam na tomada de decisão de pacientes em risco. Tais fatores de risco e proteção são identificados através de estudos epidemiológicos, caso-controle e coortes. O objetivo deste artigo será apresentar tais fatores que foram encontrados na revisão bibliográfica e que apresentam algum nível de evidência para serem utilizados na prática clínica.

Mount Ciremai National Park has an area of ±15,500 ha with soil characteristics at various heights and varied slope directions. This study aims to determine the characteristics of soil properties in Gunung Ciremai National Park based on slope direction and its relationship with vegetation growth. The method used in this study is a systematic sampling method based on height intervals on four slopes with depths of 0-15 cm and 16-30 cm. The results showed 1). Soil pH in all four slopes with different heights in the acid-neutral category, 2). The soil texture is classified as sandy-loam and sandy-clay loam, 3). C-organic content is classified as low-very high, 4). The content of N-Total is classified as low-high. 5). P2O5 content is classified as very low-low, 6). K content is classified as low-very high, 7). Ca content is low-very high, and 8). Mg content is classified as low to high. Significant correlation tests of soil physical and chemical properties are found on several parameters such as C/N ratio, K, and Mg.

Authors: Syifa Zulfiani Zakiyah Susilo  , Aminah Asngad
Published: July 2024

In this rainy season the risk of contracting Dengue Fever increases. Many people control dengue fever chemically. The use of chemical larvicides has many disadvantages such as environmental pollution, resistance, and negative impacts on human health. This research aims to develop a natural larvicide from extracts of soursop leaves (Annona muricata) and tapak dara leaves (Catharanthus roseus). The study used a completely randomized design, with three replications. Soursop leaf and tapak dara leaf extracts were extracted using a maceration process using 70% ethanol solvent. III-IV instar Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae were used during the experiment, to assess the effect of formula (3 levels), dose (3 levels), and exposure time for 12 hours. All data were analyzed using Two-way ANOVA. The research results showed that the F1 formula and D3 dose were effective in eradicating mosquito larvae. Where the higher the concentration of soursop leaf extract and the higher the dose, the higher the mortality of mosquito larvae.

Scientific atheistic propaganda in the framework of the work of the Stalingrad (Volgograd) branch of the All-Union Society "Knowledge" in the 1940s and 60s.
Authors: Knyazeva Anna Sergeevna
Published: July 2024

The subject of the study is the activity of the Volgograd (Stalingrad) branch of the All-Union Society for the dissemination of political and scientific knowledge. The object of the research is the scientific atheistic propaganda carried out by the regional branch of the society in the 1940s and 60s. Special attention is paid to the methods used by the society (Q&A evenings, film screenings, literature printing, seminars, etc.). The author pays attention to statistical data (the number of lectures, brochures, etc.) for a deeper analysis of the results of scientific atheistic propaganda. The article indicates the problems that the society faced in the process of propaganda (many believers remained, lectures were sometimes poorly prepared, insufficient pamphlets were printed, etc.). The author also discusses ways to solve the problems presented above. The source base for this study was the archival documents of the Center for Documentation of the Modern History of the Volgograd Region (CDNIVO) and archival documents of the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF). Many regional archival documents have been introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The principles of historicism, subjectivism, and systematic analysis of archival documents were applied in the methodology of the work. The main conclusions of the study are as follows: the regional office, like the entire Znanie society, actively worked to spread scientific atheism, the work was carried out from the first years of the organization's existence. The forms of work with the population were modern and diverse, such as film screenings, individual meetings, question and answer evenings, etc. But despite all the above factors, there were many believers, houses of worship and churches were closed reluctantly and infrequently. In the protocols, you can often see complaints about the quality of the lectures. It can be concluded that scientific atheistic propaganda remained one of the most difficult areas within the work of society. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that such a study has not been conducted before, today, when the religious worldview is actively developing and spreading, it is possible to analyze the reverse process - the spread of scientific atheism, how this work went and why it turned out to be unsuccessful.
"The Seal of King Solomon": astrological bookishness of the Old Believers-Popovites of the XIX century.
Authors: Sokolov Aleksandr Vladimirovich
Published: July 2024

The subject of this article is the Old Believer astrological literature, which had previously been practically not studied. For the first time, the article analyzes the previously unexplored book monument "Seal of King Solomon". The author aims to analyze the structure of this book. To achieve this goal, the author solves a number of tasks. First, the author establishes the chronological framework in which the text could have been created, establishes the religious beliefs of the author of the "Seal ...", the reasons for its printing. Secondly, the attitude towards astrology in the Orthodox environment is analyzed. Thirdly, the author identifies the structural components of the text, the parts of which it consists. Fourth, the author of the article seeks to identify texts that were fully or partially included in the "Print ...". To achieve this goal, the author used both general scientific and private scientific methods, including: genetic, hermeneutical, content analysis. Mathematical methods were also used. In the course of studying this text, the author comes to the conclusion that the "Seal ..." was drawn up no earlier than 1862 by an Old Believer. During the analysis, it was concluded that the book consists mainly of a compilation of various sources, including Byzantine and Ancient Russian origin. The uniqueness of this monument lies in the fact that, from the point of view of the development of fortune-telling literature, this work was not relevant at the time of compilation. The Old Believer origin of this monument also makes it unique, since it was not previously known about the astrology of the Old Believers. It was concluded that the "Seal ..." consists of six independent parts. The first part literally borrows the text of "The Legend of King Solomon, what is the great seal and where and how it came to him." The second is represented by a separate part of the "Gromnik". The third focused on a single source, including the writings of Kirik Novgorodsky, Palea Tolstoy, seven thousand books and a certain moral text. The fourth part is the result of a creative attempt to combine events of various meanings under a single denominator "all creatures of renewal". The fifth part includes the "Moonlight". The sixth or final part is textually closest to the first.

Published: July 2024

Background

Disparities between genders are well documented in incidence, progression, and outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to describe demographic characteristics, clinical and socio-economic factors among males and females on maintenance hemodialysis and to determine any association with mortality among males and females.

Materials and Methods

A nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted in a hemodialysis network in India. All adult (>18 years) patients who died while receiving maintenance hemodialysis and an equal number of surviving control patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) between January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021 were included in the study. The demographic, socioeconomic, and hemodialysis factors were compared between both the genders.

Results

A total of 1177 patients who died during the study period were included. The majority were males (824, 70.01%). Males were more educated than females (P < 0.001). The proportion of female patients dialysed with temporary catheters where more than males, who had definite vascular access such as AV fistula or AV graft (P < 0.001). More female patients required out-of-pocket expenditure (P = 0.005). Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that lower educational status, hypoalbuminemia, previous history of hospitalization, and dialysis in centres run by Public Private Partnership (PPP) were associated with mortality in males. Lower educational status, heart failure and previous history of hospitalization were the factors associated with mortality in females.

Conclusion

Males predominated on hemodialysis. Females were less educated and were less likely to be covered under public or private health insurance compared to males.
