Authors: Jung Jae Hyu , Kang Ji-Young , Ko Chang-Hee , Ko Jin Young , Lim Jae Young
Published: October 2021

Background: To improve the rehabilitation team’s awareness of patient mobility and participation by enhancing communication between therapists and nurses and conducting patient education.Methods: This study used a non-equivalent control group with a non-synchronized design. To facilitate communication between therapists and nurses, we used a manual for mobility management to improve the sharing of information on the functional status of patients. We also implemented patient education to improve their awareness of mobility and participation. Finally, we conducted newly devised surveys related to patient functional status and awareness that were applied by therapists and nurses.Results: The nurses reported significantly lower functional levels of patients compared to those assessed by therapists. After the intervention, the kappa values representing the concordance between therapists and nurses improved to almost perfect agreement for transfer ability (κ=0.836), mobility (κ=0.664), and toileting (κ=1.000). We also observed a statistically significant increase in questionnaire scores with respect to nurses’ awareness (p<0.05).Conclusion: Improving communication among the rehabilitation team, including nurses through the use of a continuous education program, was effective in promoting the mobility and functional level of patients in the inpatient ward.

AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate whether the outcome after open aneurysm repair combined with aorto-femoral bypass in patients with concomitant abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AIOD) is inferior to open aneurysm repair for isolated AAA or aorto-femoral bypass for isolated AIOD.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 30-day mortality, 1-year mortality and surgical complications of consecutive patients undergoing elective aneurysm repair, aorto-femoral bypass or a combination of these at two vascular surgery departments from 2003 to 2013. Potential risk factors were investigated by multivariable analysis.
RESULTS: Overall, 511 patients underwent open repair for isolated AAA, 104 aorto-femoral bypass for isolated AIOD and 46 open AAA repair combined with aorto-femoral bypass for concomitant AAA and AIOD. Surgical complications occurred in 17% of AAA, 23% of AIOD and 37% of combined patients (odds ratio [OR] combined vs AAA 2.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.43–5.34; p = 0.003). Colon ischaemia occurred in 3.7% of AAA, 2.9% of AIOD and 13% of combined patients (incicidence rate ratio [IRR] combined vs AAA 3.27, 95% CI 1.37–7.81; p = 0.01). The 30-day mortality was 3.1% in AAA, 4.8% in AIOD, and 11% in combined patients (IRR combined vs AAA 3.17, 95% CI 1.26–7.96; p = 0.01). One-year mortality was 5.7% in AAA, 5.8% in AIOD and 15% in combined patients (IRR combined vs AAA 2.50, 95% CI 1.17–5.35; p = 0.02).
CONCLUSIONS: Combined AAA repair and aorto-femoral bypass has a significantly higher 30-day mortality and postoperative complication rate than isolated AAA repair. Patients with concomitant AAA and AIOD thus represent a high-risk population, which should be considered when deciding on the indication for AAA treatment.
Dopuszczalność ujawniania związkom zawodowym informacji o wysokości wynagrodzenia pracownika w powszechnym modelu zatrudnienia (artykuł polemiczny)

Admissibility of disclosing to trade unions information on the amount of an employee’s remuneration in the common employment model (polemical article)

In doctrine and jurisprudence, the prevailing view is that employers are not obliged to disclose to trade unions, at their request and within the framework of trade union monitoring of compliance with the law, information on employee wages. According to the 1993 resolution of the panel of seven judges of the Supreme Court, an employer may disclose such information, but only with the employee’s consent. Otherwise, the personal right of the person performing the work may be infringed. Such an opinion is not convincing. It stands in clear opposition to the law in force. It also leads to depriving the trade union organisation of the right to carry out systemic control of the employer’s compliance with the principle of equal remuneration for equal work or work of equal value (Art. 18(3c) of the Labour Code).
The Development of Whistleblowing Laws in the United States and Europe (de lege ferenda remarks)
Authors: Kobroń-Gąsiorowska Łucja
Published: October 2021

Corruption, harassment in a workplace, practices contrary to the correct work process, and many others are irregularities that can arise in any enterprise. This is a problem that affects established democracies and free markets and post-communist countries that are transitioning to democracy and market economies. While the causes of irregularities vary, the tools often suggested tackling them include that do not necessarily encourage potential whistleblowers to report them, whether inside or outside the organization. This article discusses the role of whistleblowing as a whistle­blowing tool. Describes the law and whistleblowing in a comparative context, focusing on the United States and the European Union. The article then concludes with recommendations for strengthening whistleblowing in Europe, where reporting irregularities is just beginning, and the level of protection differs between the Member States.
Intergenerational Transmission of Cultural Values in Korean American Families: An Analysis of the Verb Suffix–ta
Authors: Park Eunjin
Published: October 2021

Drawing on the concept of language socialization, this study investigates ways in which parents and grandparents of three–generational Korean–American households socialize children into certain cultural values through the use of a particular linguistic feature in Korean: the verb suffix –ta. All six participating families had at least one child between the ages of two and four, spoke Korean as the mother tongue, and had at least one grandparent who regularly interacted with the child. Approximately 70 hours of family interactions were video–recorded and 202 utterances ending with –ta were examined. An analysis of the –ta utterances reveals that this linguistic marker is used mostly by Korean adults to compliment children's desirable behavior or accomplishments as well as to criticize their undesirable behavior. In addition, –ta is used by parents and grandparents to warn children of the consequences of their actions. Although the children were observed using –ta sometimes, their relatively restricted usage of this linguistic marker was confined to complimenting their own work rather than evaluating their parents' or grandparents' actions, thus reinforcing culturally asymmetrical power relationships between members of different generations in Korean–American families. This paper argues that learning the socially appropriate uses of linguistic markers in Korean such as –ta is made possible largely through sustained intergenerational interaction in informal family situations. The findings suggest the importance of intergenerational socialization in the transmission of heritage languages.

Published: October 2021

Access to clean water and sanitation is a major requirement for all countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The main aim of the study was to investigate the state and condition of water and sanitary facilities in selected secondary schools within Oyo State, Ibadan, Nigeria. Data was collected through the use of structured questionnaires and interviews with the students and teachers. Physical observation was also done onsite to supplement data gathering. The results revealed that deep-tube wells and pit latrines were the most widely used water and sanitation facilities in the study area. 70% of the schools surveyed used traditional pit latrines while 73% of schools had deep-tube wells respectively. In addition, there were limited drinking water and hand washing facilities in all the schools investigated. This study therefore recommends that government should increase funding for the provision of water and sanitation facilities in all schools in this state; as these would ensure good and enabling environment for learning as well as reducing outbreak of infectious diseases.Keywords facilities, sanitation, schools, SDG, water.

Authors: Gukop Nicholas S , Kamtu Peter M , Lengs Bildad D , Babawuya Alkali , Adegoke Adesanmi
Published: October 2021

Investigation on the effect of mesh density on the analysis of simple support bracket was conducted using Finite element analysis simulation. Multiple analyses were carried out with mesh refinement from coarse mesh of 3.5 mm to a high-quality fine mesh with element size of 0.35 mm under 15 kN loading. Controlled mesh analysis was also conducted for the same loading. At the mesh size of 0.35 mm, it has a maximum stress value of 42.7 MPa. As the element size was reduced, it was observed that below 1.5 mm (higher mesh density) there was no significant increase in the peak stress value; the stress at this level increased by 0.028 % only. Further decreased of mesh size shows insignificant effect on the stresses and displacements for the high-quality fine mesh analysis. The application of High-quality mesh control analysis showed a significant reduction in the computation time by more than 90%. Regardless of the reduction in computation time, the controlled mesh analysis achieved more than 99% accuracy as compared to high-quality fine mesh analysis. Keywords— Computation time, Finite Element Analysis, Mesh density, Support Bracket.

Authors: Alabi Oladunni O , Dodo Paul N , Dodo Peter J
Published: October 2021

The comparative study for upgrading Faya clay, in Faya Town of Plateau State, Nigeria to oil and Gas drilling mud grade was carried out. The clay was sourced from three veins A, B, and C.  The samples were homogenized, crushed and ground. 5 kg of the homogenized sample was used for the experiment and laboratory work. Chemical and mineralogical characterization of the clay sample was carried out using; X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffractorneter (XRD). The clay sample was beneficiated using two methods: froth flotation and gravity concentration method (Jigging). The chemical composition of the crude clay revealed that it contains 16.6% Al2O3, 35.6% SiO2, 0.559% K2O, 0.084% CaO, 6.133% Fe2O3, 0.91 % TiO2 and 38.7 % BaO. The result of XRD analysis shows that quartz is predominant in the sample with 61.7% wt quartz (SiO2). Other minerals found in the sample include 28.59% wt of dickite (Al2 Si205 (0H)), 8.89% wt goethite (Fe0 (0H 4) and 0.83% wt muscovite (KO.92 NaO.08) (Al.86 FeO.07 TiO.02) (Si.3 O.3 AlO.97) O10 (OH)2 at 2 . Froth flotation method is more efficient for the beneficiation of Faya clay as it improves the BaO composition of the clay from 38.7% to 52.2%, with a recovery of 97.2%, an enrichment and ratio of concentration of 1.4 compared with the jigging method, which improved BaO composition from 38.7% in the crude clay to 47.5%, with a recovery of 90.96% and an enrichment ratio of 0.7; and ratio of concentration of 0.7. Froth floatation improved the specific gravity of the clay from 3.3 to 4.31; while jigging improved the specific gravity from 3.3 to 4. 05. Therefore, froth flotation method is more appropriate for the concentration of Faya clay ahead of jigging method of processing.Keywords: Upgrading, Characterization, Faya - clay, Drilling, Production
Investigating the Use and Performance of a Three-wheeler used in Inner City Transportation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Published: October 2021

The dominance of three-wheelers in inner city transportation cannot be overrated, because it is presumed to be safer compared to two-wheel drives.  It is an intermediary between the motor cycles and taxis, as it is efficient for both passengers and goods transportation. However, as manufacturers introduce newer brands into the market, the impact relating to mechanical functioning is usually overlooked. This study was designed to evaluate the performance of the transmission system of the three-wheeler. In order to gather background information on the three-wheeler and its users, a questionnaire was administered to thirty (30) drivers. A Bajaj engine was selected because of the orientation of the output shaft and mounted on a test-rig equipped with a dynamometer. Output speed (OS), output torque (OT), fuel consumed and time taken under five loading conditions namely; No Load, 120W, 800W, 920W and 1600W corresponding to idle, downhill, level ground and overload/uphill conditions were recorded. However, it was discovered that 60% of the drivers were less than 40 years old, while the remaining 40% were adults. The output speed and torque for No-load and downhill, likewise medium load and level ground are similar, but the uphill was different. The results showed that Bajaj and TVS brands are used, Bajaj being the oldest. Also, there is significant variation in engine output with loading and terrain navigation with associated noise as load increases. The manual transmission fitted with the engine seems unable to properly transmit engine output from the shafts. A better transmission is therefore recommended. Keywords— Dynamometer, Output speed, output torque, three-wheeler

Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a family of rare progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect both humans and animals. They are distinguished by long incubation periods, characteristic spongiform changes associated with neuronal loss, and a failure to induce inflammatory response. Prion diseases in animals, Scrapie in sheep, chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (commonly known as "mad cow disease") in cattle, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans are all examples of infectious diseases. The prion protein (PrP) was identified in a patient in 2015, and it was previously believed to be the cause of all known mammalian prion diseases. However, The protein alpha-synuclein, which is thought to be responsible for MSA, was suggested to be the cause of the disease in 2015.
MODELING THE INFLUENCE OF THE STRUCTURE AND QUALITY OF ASSETS ON THE PROFITABILITY OF A COMMERCIAL BANK
Authors: Kudriavtseva Alena S. , Arkadeva Olga G.
Published: October 2021

In modern conditions, the methods of classical economic analysis are not enough to solve the problem of bank stability. This requires the development of methods and tools to analyze the current situation in the bank and to develop sound management decisions aimed at ensuring the stability of the bank. The article notes that the analysis of the influence of the structure and quality of assets on the profitability of commercial banks is an important step for assessing the financial position and reliability of a bank, and a method is proposed for constructing a model of the dependence of bank’s profitability on the factors that determine it. The scientific sources were the works of Russian and foreign researchers in the field of modeling and characteristics of the banking system, financial stability of credit institutions, assessment of the creditworthiness of potential borrowers, system organization and information technology. The article uses the methods of economic analysis, differential calculus and mathematical statistics, as well as the achievements of the main scientific schools dealing with the problems of economic and mathematical modeling and economic analysis of banking. In order to determine the most significant economic factors affecting the profitability of commercial banks, generalization of the theoretical, methodological and applied aspects of studies devoted to the study of the influence of the structure and quality of assets on the profitability of commercial banks was carried out, and a correlation and regression analysis was made. The model presented in the article can be used to predict changes in the profitability of Russian commercial banks and to predict promising directions for growth in profit and profitability of the bank.

Authors: Kuznetsova Elvira G.
Published: October 2021

The article considers the trends taking place in modern conditions in the agrarian sphere – peasant farms. Concepts and definitions characterizing the essence of functioning new agrarian forms of economy are analyzed. The place and role of the state and farming as equal partners in the social arrangement of rural areas and in the preservation of the traditional way of life in the countryside is emphasized. The author considers some of the concepts and definitions to be generally accepted, the other ones are of a search and research nature, which gives the article originality. Contradictions and problems impeding the development of new agrarian forms of economy are revealed. The relevance of the theme consists in the need to develop family farms as a priority form of individual entrepreneurship and as an important source of sustainable growth in food production. The long-term domestic experience of development of peasant farms and private holdings using achievements in foreign countries is studied and on this basis, practical recommendations on accelerated development of individual forms of agricultural production are offered. In general, the agricultural economy should be diversified in order to provide social protection, the opportunity to generate employment and increase the profitability of farmers.

Published: October 2021

A study of the use of Fintech tools in the field of foreign economic activity of the EAEU countries was conducted. The article highlights the role of digitalization in the development of the market of goods, services and capital in integration associations. Based on the actual data, the analysis of the situation in the sectors of the financial market of the EAEU countries was carried out and the features consisting in a high degree of differentiation of the development and dynamics of various segments of the financial market were highlighted. The analysis of Fintech tools has shown that in the field of foreign economic activity and support of foreign trade contracts concluded within the framework of the EAEU, there is no single electronic system which allows to effectively support export-import operations and promote interaction and development of corporate entities and enterprises of all forms of ownership. The analysis of existing approaches to the use of electronic systems in the field of foreign trade has shown that most of them are based on mobile operator platforms, which limits the development of digital tools. The unavailability of digital technologies or their absence in a number of EAEU countries indicates the underdevelopment of the digital culture of citizens of the EAEU countries. The article suggests ways to solve the current situation by creating a unified electronic trading system and a unified marketplace with the possibility of opening remote access to a variety of financial instruments for individuals and to attract the capital of companies; increasing the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the development of the financial center; unifying the reporting and auditing system of issuing companies, as well as ensuring the availability and transparency of innovative regulatory and control systems.

Authors: Araujo Marina Jardim Faria de , Mullinari Daniella Regina , De Araujo Marcus Vinicius Faria
Published: October 2021

A produção, transporte e o armazenamento de óleo diesel geram grande preocupação ambiental, econômica e social devido aos impactos gerados por esse derivado do petróleo na biota, no solo e na qualidade de vida humana em casos de derramamento. Muitas são as técnicas de controle usadas em áreas contaminadas pelo óleo diesel. Uma das técnicas atualmente utilizadas é a adsorção a partir do uso de polímeros.  Sendo o polietileno tereftalato, mais conhecido como PET, um dos polímeros mundialmente mais utilizados e descartados após sua utilização, o presente trabalho vem aplicar o reuso de garrafas PET como alternativa de material adsorvente em ocorrências de vazamento de óleo diesel.  Os testes de sorção foram realizados com flakes de PET em duas granulometrias (4 e 9 mesh) e em seis intervalos de tempo de sorção.  A quantidade de óleo diesel sorvido pelos flakes de garrafas PET foi analisada por testes de sorção na ausência de água. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que o PET pode ser considerado um bom sorvente e que a granulometria influenciou diretamente na capacidade de sorção do óleo. Foi possível inferir que as garrafas PET possuem potencial para combate a derramamentos de óleo diesel atenuando impactos ambientais em tais situações.

Entre julho e agosto de 2015 foram adquiridos 10 espécimes de bacalhau (Gadus morhua)(Osteichthyes: Gadiformes: Gadidae) provenientes de supermercados do Município de Volta Redonda, Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Os espécimes foram analisados com o objetivo de identificar e registrar os parasitos de potencial zoonótico. As análises do pescado foram realizadas no Laboratório de Técnica Dietética do Curso de Nutrição UniFOA. Foi constatada a presença de larvas de Anisakis simplex (L3) em todas as amostras examinadas. Um total de 652 larvas foi coletado, com média de 65,2 ± 33,7 (17 – 113) parasitos por amostra examinada. As larvas encontravam-se encapsuladas, enroladas em espiral plana, sob o peritônio e a pele e inseridos na musculatura das amostras de bacalhau. A presença dessas larvas nas amostras do bacalhau analisadas as torna impróprias para o consumo.

Free flap reconstruction is seldom performed during pregnancy. Not only does the prolonged operative time pose a risk for the mother and the fetus, but also the hypercoagulable state of pregnancy predisposes the mother to a greater risk of complications in the transplanted tissue. We present a case of a 29-year-old patient in week 27 of gestation with a rapidly progressive neuroendocrine tumor in the left nasal fossa with involvement of the nasal sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, dura, and left orbit, associated with neurological symptoms and recurrent epistaxis. The aggressive and rapidly progressive character of the tumor made surgical excision by a multidisciplinary team as the first option. We performed immediate reconstruction with an anterolateral thigh free flap. Free tissue transfer was performed successfully, with satisfactory results on the mother and later delivery without complications.

Background: Constipation is a very distressful symptom, affecting to all age group. The only treatment is laxatives, which is having many adverse effects mainly dependency on laxatives.

Purpose: To evaluate the laxative effect of raisins and to get relief from daily dependency on laxative medicines for acute and chronic constipation

Methods: Interventional / Experimental study of raisins and clarified butter or ghee performed at ‘Vishwaraj Hospital’ Pune, Maharashtra, India from March 2021 to June 2021, after appropriate ethical approval obtained from the Vishwaraj Hospital’s Ethics Committee (Registration number- ECR/1138/Inst/MH/2018). Fifty one patients of constipation who were on laxatives or PR enema enrolled in this study, diagnosis confirmed by gastro-enetrologist. Laxatives had been asked to stop before enrollment. Questionnaire form were given at the time of enrollment and telephonic follow up for OPD patients and by visiting to admit patients had been taken on 2nd day after consumption of raisins and clarified butter or ghee then on 7th and 15th day. Forms were collected once they were visit to their respective doctors for follow up.

Results: Statistical tool used in this study is the 95 % confidence interval. The variables of interest were 1) percent of patients have restarted laxatives or not and 2) number of days required to get relief from constipation. 94.12 % of patients (n=48) did not restart laxatives after consumption of raisins and clarified butter or ghee and the population percent of patients that might not restart laxatives would be 88% to 100% with 95 % confidence. Also the number of days to get relief from constipation after consumption of raisins and clarified butter or ghee for a patient in population would be 3-4 days with 95 % confidence. 

Conclusion: Raisins and CB or ghee had given relief from acute and chronic constipation; worked very well on irritable bowel syndrome, fissure in ano, hemorrhoids and helped to stop PR bleeding and bloating causes by these diseases. Patients got relief from constipation on 3rd and 4th day. This study concluded that raisins with clarified butter or ghee can be taken instead of laxatives or enema to get relief from constipation; this might be the great substitute for laxatives and per rectum enema.

INTRODUÇÃO: A dor lombar não é propriamente vista como uma “doença”, mas como um sintoma de problemas clínicos diferentes. A lombalgia é um sintoma frequente em gestantes que acomete cerca de 50% das mulheres, sua etiologia está ligada a inúmeros fatores, tais como as alterações fisiológicas, biomecânicas, vasculares e psicológicas. OBJETIVO: O objetivo desse estudo é verificar a prevalência de lombalgia gestacional, descrevendo características dos sintomas e fatores de prevenção em gestantes que buscaram atendimento no hospital municipal em Nanuque MG. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva exploratória do tipo quantitativa realizada em 30 gestantes com idade entre 18 a 36 anos no Hospital Municipal Renato Azeredo e Maternidade Risoleta Neves, na cidade de Nanuque MG.  Através de um questionário chamado Índice Oswestry 2.0, que se divide em 10 sessões com seis alternativas que variam de zero a cinco pontos, totalizando o máximo de 50 pontos (100%). Sendo assim denomina-se 50% incapacidade intensa, 33% incapacidade moderada, 17% incapacidade mínima, 75% aleijado e 100% inválido. RESULTADOS: Na amostra das 12 participantes, observou-se que todas elas apresentavam um grande grau de incapacidade funcional devido dores na região lombar ao realizar suas atividades laborativas do dia-a-dia como: vestir-se, andar, sentar-se, atividade sexual, sono e viagens. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Conclui-se que a prevalência de incapacidades nas gestantes que apresentam lombalgias é predominante nos últimos meses de gestação, um dos principais fatores existentes na lombalgia é a dor intensa na região lombar.

Abstract. Purpose of the work: to study the indicators characterizing heart lesions in elderly patients who had carried COVID-19.
Materials and methods: 86 patients older than 60 years old, were examined, of whom 56 (32 women and 24 men) who have carried COVID-19 between 3 and 6 months before the study, and 30 patients (12 men and 18 women) who did not have COVID - 19 in the anamnesis. The patients have been examined clinically, electro and echocardiography have been performed.
The results. Elderly patients during the post-covid period have complaints of shortness of breath, pain in the heart, swelling, coughing, weakness, which are more stable and intense than before the infection. Patients who have carried COVID-19 demonstrate the signs of a chronic pulmonary heart disease: increase in the size of a right ventricle and decrease of its contractile ability, increase in pressure in a pulmonary artery. Signs of a statistically significant moderate decrease of the contractility in the left ventricular were also identified.
Conclusions. The statistically significant changes in the right departments of the heart among the patients with carried COVID-19 with persistent symptoms after infection were defined. Patients who have carried COVID-19 but have no symptoms did not differ statistically from the control group.
Key words: COVID-19, old age, post- COVID period, right departments of the heart.
Hypercapnia-inducible factor: a hypothesis
Authors: Muradian Khachik , Fraifeld Vadim
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Cells and tissues sense and respond to hypercapnia by global activation or down-regulation of hundreds of genes and switching on/off a number of signaling and metabolic pathways. We hypothesize for the first time that such complex rearrangements are hardly possible without subtle guidance by a specific master regulator which we suggest to name hypercapnia-inducible factor (HcIF). Whether there are structural and functional similarities between HcIF and HIF remain to be elucidated. However, there are reasons to believe that, as master genes, HcIF and HIF can cooperate or compete depending on the situation. Only further research will warrant existence of HcIF as a molecular master regulator of the response to hypercapnia.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА ТЕРМОКИСЛОТНЫХ НАТУРАЛЬНЫХ СЫЧУЖНЫХ СЫРОВ
Authors: Мироненко Ирина Михайловна
Published: October 2021

В данной статье представлены особенности температурных параметров и режимов технологического процесса производства термокислотных натуральных сычужных сыров. Также рассматриваются новые разработки Сибирского научно-исследовательского института сыроделия (СибНИИС) – термокислотные сыры в ассортименте. В сыроделии существует четыре способа свёртывания молока: кислотное, сычужное, кислотно-сычужное и термокислотное. В традиционной технологии производство сыров обычно используются три последних типа. Основными влияющими на стабильность молока факторами являются температура и кислотно-щелочной баланс (рН), а также продолжительность их воздействия. Таким образом, биотехнологические процессы преобразования компонентов молока зависят от технологических параметров и режимов (температуры, рН) время изменения их значений.
