Authors: Aslan Sinan , Aylaz Rukuye
Published: June 2022

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold training program on depression and care burden in dementia patient caregivers.

Materials and Methods. We applied an experimental model based on a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 140 dementia caregivers (the experimental group and the control group with 70 participants per group). The sample size was determined, and the participants were allocated to groups using power analysis. Data of the study were collected between April 15, 2016 and July 15, 2016. For the pre-test, both groups were provided with the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Caregiver Burden of Dementia Patient Caregiver Scale (CBDPCS) to be filled in. Then, the experimenter visited the homes of the experimental group patients twice at 2-week intervals to provide nursing care based on the Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold Model. Finally, after 8 weeks, the post-test was conducted by letting both groups complete the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the BDI, and the CBDPCS once again. Percentage, chi-square, in independent and dependent sample t-tests were used to evaluate the related data.

Results. The mean BDI score was 15.61 ± 10.97 in the pre-test and 11.08 ± 8.82 in the post-test (t=6.738, p=0.001). The mean pre-test and post-test total CBDPCS scores of caregivers were 67.02 ± 16.23 and 59.27 ± 15.25, respectively (t=5.974, p=0.001). The difference between the intergroup comparison of the mean experiment and control group post-test scores was statistically significant (p=0.001) on the CBDPCS and the total BDI score.

Conclusions. Our results suggest that education provided to caregivers can efficiently decrease their care burden and depression levels.
Anticancer Agent Effect and Polychemotherapy Regimens for Malignant Tumor Treatment - A Review
Authors: Chrysanthakopoulos Nikolaos Andreas , Vryzaki Eleftheria
Published: June 2022

Cancer is a leading cause of millions of deaths worldwide and, despite the improvements in molecular biology, issues concerning how to advance cancer treatment are still relevant. Cancer research must be focused on finding new and efficient chemotherapeutic regimens that can relieve severe side effects caused by conventional treatments. Modern technologies are currently under estimation in clinical trials or have already been introduced into clinical practice. Nowadays cancer therapy is characterized by ineffectiveness and serious side effects, as well as by hope of remission and cure in many cases. Antitumor drugs and radiation have been used as the treatment of choice in some cancer cases, except for the choice of surgery in case of solid tumors. Recently, immunotherapy has emerged as a significant therapeutic alternative, and in many cases, it is the first choice. These therapies can be applied either alone or in combination with other agents. Additionally, gene treatment and nanotechnology are promising methods for cancer treatment as well. The current review presents the progress of cancer treatments, starting with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy, gene treatment and nanomedicine, giving emphasis to the most common anticancer agents and polychemotherapeutic regimens.

Useage of Dry Fiber Placement Fiber Semifinished Products for the Production of Board Sports Equipment Using the Example of a Splitboard
Authors: Kaufmann Jörg , Fleischmann Marc
Published: June 2022

In the state of the art, sandwich structures are predominantly used for the production of board sports equipment such as snowboards, skateboards and wakeboards, which usually consist of a wood core with cover layers of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP). These almost exclusively thermoset FRP in the top and bottom booms are mainly manufactured by means of hand lay-up processes and subsequent hot pressing and joined in situ to the wood core. In the state of the art, multiaxial knitted fabrics with a fiber orientation of 0/90 or 0/+45/-45 are often used as semi-finished fiber products. These semi-finished fiber products manufactured on classic textile lines have a width of several inches after production. The most common width is 1.27 m or 50 inches, which leads to a very high waste of up to 30 % in production. By using the dry fiber placement process to manufacture preforms for a so-called splitboard, which is a subgroup of snowboards, it was possible to reduce the waste of carbon fibers during the fiber semifinished product production by approx. 60 % and significantly increase the economic efficiency.  In addition, the variable tape placement of the dry fiber placement technology makes it possible to produce complex layer structures automatically, which can currently only be produced manually.

Published: June 2022

Diabetic kidney disease is the most frequent cause of kidney failure, accounting for half of all cases worldwide. Moreover, deaths from diabetic kidney disease increased 106% between 1990 and 2013, with most attributed to cardiovascular disease. Recommended screening and monitoring for diabetic kidney disease are conducted in less than half of patients with diabetes. Standard-of-care treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker is correspondingly low. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, and a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid antagonist are highly effective therapies to reduce kidney and cardiovascular risks in diabetic kidney disease. However, <20% of eligible patients are receiving these agents. Critical barriers are high out-of-pocket drug costs and low reimbursement rates. Data demonstrating clinical and cost-effectiveness of diabetic kidney disease care are needed to garner payer and health care system support. The pharmaceutical industry should collaborate on value-based care by increasing access through affordable drug prices. Additionally, multidisciplinary models and communication technologies tailored to individual health care systems are needed to support optimal diabetic kidney disease care. Community outreach efforts are also central to make care accessible and equitable. Finally, it is imperative that patient preferences and priorities shape implementation strategies. Access to care and implementation of breakthrough therapies for diabetic kidney disease can save millions of lives by preventing kidney failure, cardiovascular events, and premature death. Coalitions composed of patients, families, community groups, health care professionals, health care systems, federal agencies, and payers are essential to develop collaborative models that successfully address this major public health challenge.

Authors: Gari Abu Tolcha
Published: June 2022

In this study, an attempt has been made to determine the occurrence of droughts and floods on monthly basis, by calculating the monthly Standardized Precipitation Index using the available rainfall data during (1975-2005) in Ethiopia.Based on the monthly SPI values computed, the droughts and floods of different intensities; extreme, severe and dry have been determined for all stations. The frequencies of the droughts and floods during the two rainy seasons, Belg (Feb-May) and Kiremt (Jun-Sep) seasons have been determined. For instance, during Belg season, there were 11 extreme (SPI < -2.0) at Nazreth, 10 severe (SPI between -1.99 and -1.50) at Diredawa and 14 moderate (SPI between -1.49 and -1.00) droughts at Kulumsa. The total number of droughts of all intensities over the study period is also highest (22) at Kulumsa and lowest (8) at Mekelle. Moreover, at Kulumsa the numbers of droughts and floods during Belg are more, which shows that the rainfall variability is highest at this station.The association of the hydrological extremes during the two rainy seasons, belg and kiremt with the ENSO phases has also been examined, which forms a basis for the prediction of the occurrence of droughts and floods at individual station using ENSO phases.

Powers of cycle graph which are k-self complementary and k-co-self complementary
Authors: Arathi Bhat K. , Sudhakara G.
Published: June 2022

E. Sampath Kumar and L. Pushpalatha [4] introduced a generalized version of complement of a graph with respect to a given partition of its vertex set. Let G = (V,E) be a graph and P = {V₁, V₂,...,Vk} be a partition of V of order k ≥ 1. The k-complement GPk of G with respect to P is defined as follows: For all Vi and Vj in P, i ≠ j, remove the edges between Vi and Vj , and add the edges which are not in G. Analogues to self complementary graphs, a graph G is k-self complementary (k-s.c.) if GPk ≅ G and is k-co-self complementary (k-co.s.c.) if GPk ≅ Ġ with respect to a partition P of V (G). The mth power of an undirected graph G, denoted by Gm is another graph that has the same set of vertices as that of G, but in which two vertices are adjacent when their distance in G is at most m. In this article, we study powers of cycle graphs which are k-self complementary and k-co-self complementary with respect to a partition P of its vertex set and derive some interesting results. Also, we characterize k-self complementary C2n and the respective partition P of V (C2n). Finally, we prove that none of the C2n is k-co-self complementary for any partition P of V (C2n).

Authors: Lagaa Mawada Bashir Ahmed , Alhoot Mohammed Abdelfatah , Baobaid Mohammed Faez
Published: June 2022

Healthcare professionals, especially those who work in hospitals that treat patients with Coronavirus Infection (COVID-19), are at a higher risk of contracting this disease than workers in other departments. Healthcare workers are under a lot of stress as they fight the COVID-19 outbreak, which increases their risk of developing psychological difficulties. As a result, ill-prepared healthcare workers can lead to delayed diagnosis, disease spread, and poor infection control. An evaluation of Knowledge, Attitudes, Perceptions, and Psychological Effects in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in Libya may indicate effective strategies for behavioral change in a given society and may assess the psychological state of healthcare workers during that crisis. At present, Libyan healthcare workers are not well aware of the risks. Healthcare workers participated in a web-based cross-sectional survey during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The KAP questions are imported from Egyptian study and the psychological impact questions are imported from Chinese study that used the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire and Insomnia Severity Index. Questions are adapted to be suitable for the Libyan context. The Knowledge, attitude and perception were analyzed using a total score based on Bloom’s 80% cut-off. According to our results, in total, we received 85.4% high knowledge score of Libyan HCWs in regards to COVID-19. About 54.6% participants showed negative attitude towards COVID-19 infection and the precautionary measures taken to prevent its spread. The majority of respondents, 89.1%, felt that they were vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. 85.4% believed they were more likely than others to become infected. Fear of transmission to family members, having chronic illnesses, and community stigma are the most frequently reported reasons for higher risk perceptions. In general, HCWs had a good understanding of COVID-19. Negative attitudes are evident in the observations a high level of risk perception was evident. It is vital that the Libyan Ministry of Health and government consider the reasons for increased risk perception. Healthcare workers, specifically those who are responding to COVID-19 in Libya, experienced an increase in anxiety, depression and insomnia, which were respectively 30.1%, 31.9% and 18.9%. In this study, many Healthcare workers reported adequate overall knowledge with a negative attitude toward government and adopted appropriate practices. Psychological problems are directly related to inadequate knowledge, incorrect attitudes, and inadequate perception. However, with timely interventions and correct information, it will be possible to protect the mental wellbeing of healthcare professionals during the novel coronavirus epidemic.

Authors: Gnanamurthy P B , B V Kiran Kumar
Published: June 2022

Abstract: In India majority of the road network has a bituminous top surface made of naturally accessible road materials and bitumen. This process has resulted in a faster depletion of road aggregates as well as an increase in gas emissions into the atmosphere, resulting in pollution. The most promising approach for achieving sustainability in road building will be to use low emission bitumen, re-use aggregates obtained from milling, and material reclaimed from the old distressed pavement to create or rehabilitate new roads. In this regard, the current study seeks to evaluate and compare the physical and engineering features of bituminous mixes including RAP material in various percentages for the construction of the surface course in flexible pavements through thorough laboratory investigations. According to the results of laboratory experimental tests, a bituminous mix containing recycled asphaltic pavement (RAP) material exhibits better Marshall Properties, performance properties, and volumetric properties, and meets all of the requirements of the bituminous concrete (BC) layer as per standard specifications. According to the findings of the study, it is possible to create an acceptable grade bituminous mix with a high RAP component that meets the needed volumetric characteristics and performance parameters for the construction of flexible pavements under current traffic and environmental circumstances.

The Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia as an institution that helps the delivery of public services has an important role in the implementation of effective and efficient public services. However, it is realized that they still exist in the implementation of supervision of public services. First, they still represent the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia who cannot be transferred by the invited party because many think that the ombudsman should not be invited. Second, it is constrained by the absence of regulations related to Ombudsman approval and the sanctions that must be applied. Third, there is no punishment execution by the Government for the cancellation of public services to Regional Heads that has been proclaimed by the Indonesian Ombudsman. Both the government and the community must support the implementation of oversight of governance by the Ombudsman in order to create public welfare.

On Power Generalized Akash Distribution with Properties and Applications
Authors: Aderoju Samuel , Adeniyi Isaac
Published: June 2022

A new lifetime model known as power generalized Akash distribution (PGAD), which extends generalized Akash (GA) distribution has been proposed in this paper. The PGAD was inspired by the wide use of the Akash and GA distributions in various applied areas. Some structural characteristics of the new model were studied such as moments, reliability, hazard rate function, survival function, Renyi entropy measure and order statistics. The parameters of the model were obtained via the maximum likelihood estimation method. The flexibility and importance of the new distribution has been illustrated by its applications to two real datasets. Using BIC, AIC and 2Loglikelihood, it is obvious that the PGAD is more effective than Topp-Leone Lomax (TLLo), Generalized Akash (GA), Power Pranav (PP) and Power Transformed Power Inverse Lindley (APTPIL) distributions in modelling real lifetime data.

Application of 3D photogrammetry on the quantification of complex morphometric hard coral, Acropora digitifera

1. Coral growth rate is one of the common measurements used as an
indicator of coral reef health. The traditional approach is by directly
measuring the linear extension rate. Yet, this method is a
one-dimensional measurement where it underestimated actual coral growth
due to coral morphotypes. Therefore, a multidimensional measurement
would provide a better understanding on coral dynamic growth. Moreover,
current practices are either invasive or needs a sample to be sacrificed
therefore unfeasible for repeated sampling. This study aims to evaluate
the accuracy of 3D-photogrammetry by comparing with standardised
stainless steel gauge blocks of known dimensions. Also, aluminium foil
wrap methods were compared with 3D photogrammetry to examine coral
surface area of different morphotypes. 2. To explore the application of
3D-photogrammetry, 10 coral nubbins (approximately 3cm) of
Acropora digitifera were taken from Pulau Bidong and transported
back to the mesocosm system. Three different approaches were tested,
they are (1) Photo-geometry linear extension (LE) rate using ImageJ
software, (2) buoyant weight (BW), and (3) surface area (SA) estimation
via 3D-photogrammetry modelling using Agisoft Photoscan software. Coral
growth rates were measured every 14 days. 3. The coral growth was
significantly reduced at week-8 as showed by the reduction in LE rate
and BW values, while SA values increased exponentially. This was
believed due to energy shift to form thin calcified layer at the base of
the nubbins for stabilisation. 4. This finding suggests corals
prioritise in establishment of a base for stability over linear growth
after the asexual fragmentation. 3D photogrammetry allows a better
understanding of corals’ life history strategy by recreating fairly
accurate estimates of real objects (irregular coral) without sacrificing
and removing it from water. In conclusion, this method further
contributes to understanding coral performances after it is transplanted
and for future in-situ long term coral monitoring purposes.
Principal Component Analysis and Factor Analysis in Accounting Research
Authors: Allee Kristian D. , Do Chuong , Raymundo Fellipe G.
Published: June 2022

Principal component analysis (PCA) and factor analysis (FA) are both variable reduction techniques used to represent a set of observed variables in terms of a smaller number of variables. While both PCA and FA are similar along several dimensions (e.g., extraction of common components/factors), researchers often fail to recognize that these techniques are designed to achieve different goals and can produce significantly different results. We conduct a comprehensive review of the use of PCA and FA in accounting research. We offer simple guidelines on how to program PCA and FA in SAS/Stata and emphasize the importance of the implementation techniques as well as the disclosure choices made when utilizing these methodologies. Furthermore, we present a few intuitive, practical examples highlighting the unique differences between the techniques. Finally, we provide some recommendations, observations, notes, and citations for researchers considering using these procedures in future research.

Large hospital variation in the risk of dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis: 31,105 patients in 59 hospitals from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register
Authors: Hermansen Lars L , Viberg Bjarke , Overgaard Soeren
Published: June 2022

Background and purpose: The risk of dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is affected by several factors, which increases the possibility of substantial differences among hospitals. We compared cumulative incidences of dislocation between regions and hospitals after primary THA surgery in osteoarthritis (OA) patients.Patients and methods: From the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register, we included 31,105 THAs performed from 2010 to 2014 with 2 years’ follow-up. Dislocations treated by closed reduction were identified in the Danish National Patient Register combined with patient file review. The results are presented as 2-year cumulative incidence on national, regional, and hospital level as proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and as adjusted odds ratios (OR) analyzed by multiple logistic regression.Results: 1,861 dislocations in 1,079 THAs were identified from 59 orthopedic departments. The 2-year cumulative incidence ranged from 2.2% to 4.3% between the 5 regions in Denmark. Hospital variation was 0–12%. For hospitals with a 5-year volume of more than 100 procedures, the incidence was 0.9–7.4%. Using the highest volume hospital as the reference, ORs for dislocation for the remaining hospitals were between 0.3 (CI 0.1–0.6) and 2.7 (1.9–4.0) after adjusting for age, sex, head size, and fixation method. Low-volume hospitals showed a higher dislocation risk than high-volume units with an adjusted OR of 1.2 (1.1–1.4).Interpretation: We found substantial variation in the incidence of dislocation between hospitals within Denmark, which can be explained by a combination of patient-, component-, and surgery-related factors. There is a need for continuous monitoring of THA dislocation on regional and hospital levels to reduce overall and local dislocation risk for future patients.
Books, babies and bonding: the impact of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library on parental engagement in book-sharing and on child development from 0-5 years old
Authors:   , Zwierzchowska-Dod Caroline
Published: June 2022

This thesis investigates what parents and carers think about sharing books with their children from birth to 5 years of age. It explores parental views on the impact of receiving books gifted monthly from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and the academic impact of participation in the Imagination Library. Sharing books with children from birth is widely believed to have a positive impact on many aspects of their development. A significant body of research correlates frequent early reading experiences with a wide range of positive cognitive and emotional outcomes. This study uses a mixed-methods approach grounded in a realist paradigm to combine survey data, interviews and analysis of assessment data to explore the impact of receiving Imagination Library books. It also documents wider parental views about the value of early book-sharing. Phase 1 consisted of a national survey of parents of children aged 0-5 years old, recruiting families receiving Imagination Library books and those outside of the programme. Phase 2 compared the academic progress of children in North Lincolnshire who had participated in the Imagination Library programme for over 12 months with those who had not, using end of reception year assessments to quantify the reading and developmental gains made by children within the programme. Phase 3 surveyed parents in the same locality, to better understand what book-sharing looked like within the home, and Phase 4 consisted of three interviews with programme participants. The findings of this research indicated a positive difference for families within the Imagination Library programme in reading frequency and in children’s assessment scores at the age of 5. It also highlighted the parental focus on bonding as a key benefit of book-sharing for parents and for children. This study enhances the Imagination Library’s conceptual model by redesigning it to include a wider focus on the emotional and family benefits of gifting books to children.
