Abstract

Background

Chronic diseases are considered the leading cause of mortality in Saudi Arabia. With a lack of national health surveillance systems, this study examines chronic disease prevalence and multimorbidity and their associated factors in Saudi Arabia.

Methods

Data was pooled from two cross-sectional national surveys conducted across the 13 regions of Saudi Arabia between March and July 2018. The study targeted Arabic speakers aged 18 years or older. The presence of chronic diseases was assessed according to self-reported medical diagnoses of chronic conditions. Multimorbidity was assessed based on the reported number of diseases (no condition, at least 1, and ≥ 2 conditions). Factors associated with chronic diseases’ presence were examined using regression analysis.

Results

Out of the total participants (N= 7,317), the most reported chronic conditions were cardiovascular diseases (15.1%) followed by respiratory diseases (14.16%). The multimorbidity prevalence (≥ 2 chronic conditions) was nearly 5.6% (n= 564). Factors found to be significantly associated with the presence of chronic diseases were age, gender, employment status, marital status, and smoking. The findings showed that those who rated their health as fair or poor were almost three times more likely to be diagnosed with at least one chronic condition (95% CI: 2.21 - 3.56, P <0.001).

Conclusions

The study found a proportion of Saudis living with chronic diseases and multimorbidity with the highest risk among elderly people. The study findings are useful in building a sustainable health surveillance system and designing effective health policies and interventions to tackle the burden of chronic disease in Saudi Arabia.

Published: August 2019

This paper deals with the improvement of the energy quality using shunt active power filter. The three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic generator consists in solar panels, a three-phase voltage inverter connected to the grid and a nonlinear load constituted by a diode rectifier bridge supplying a resistive load in series with an inductor. In so doing, three main challenges arise from the application context. First, the harmonic currents and the reactive power must be compensated. The second challenge is the injection of active solar energy into the grid. Third, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) must be found. This paper proposes a method addressing those challenges. For the first and the second one, direct current and power controls is used. For the third challenge, an algorithm is proposed which take in account the electrical variables and the variation of the solar irradiation. Simulation results of the proposed method are shown. The method is illustrated with two different strategies: Hysteresis Control and Direct Power Control (DPC) for a variable load. Obtained results are presented and compared in this paper to confirm the robustness and the superiority of DPC strategy compared to Hysteresis Control strategy. In the same context, the simulation carried out in this article shows promising results with THD approximates 1.33 %.

Authors: Mokeddem Mourad , Laidoudi Houssem , Makinde Oluwole Daniel , Bouzit Mohamed
Published: August 2019

In this paper, three-dimensional numerical simulations are carried out to investigate and analyze the gradual effects of thermal buoyancy strength on laminar flow of an incompressible viscous fluid and heat transfer rate inside a 180° curved channel of square cross-section. The governing equations of continuity, momentum and energy balance are obtained and solved numerically using finite volume method. The effect of Dean number, De, and Richardson number, Ri, on dimensionless velocity profiles and Nusselt number are examined for the conditions: De = 125 to 150, Ri = 0 to 2 at Pr = 1. The mean results are illustrated in terms of streamline and isotherm contours to interpret the flow behaviors and its effect on heat transfer rate. Dimensionless velocity profiles and the local Nusselt number at the angle 0° and 90° are presented and discussed. Also, the average Nusselt number on surfaces of curved duct is computed. The obtained results showed that by adding thermal buoyancy to computed domain, some early Dean vortices are observed at the angle 0° and new sort are observed at 90°. Furthermore, increase in Dean number increases the heat transfer rate. In other hand, increase in Richardson number decreases the average Nusselt number of 180° curved duct.

Published: August 2019

In our previous publication a model for series wound direct current (SWDC) motors was described and a simulation program was presented which is based on the above model and was developed in MATLAB environment. In the publication mentioned above, the measurement process of the parameters (bearing resistance torque, electric resistances, dynamic inductances) of the SWDC motor was also described. From the parameters the program calculates the current intensity, rpm and torque of the motor as a function of time. The recent publication is about the realization of the above program applying the Control Design and Simulation Module of NI LabVIEW. This module enables the adjustment of input parameters (e.g. supply voltage) during the running of the program, thus the realization of real time driving simulation. In addition, among others, it can be applied with data acquisition, GPIB, CAN, and FPGA (field-programmable gate array) hardware platforms of National Instruments.

The paper presents results of research of the content of zinc, copper, lead, cadmium and selenium in hair of 236 native persons aged 1-6 years of some regions of northern European in Russia: in the city Inta and town Troitsko-Petschorsk of the Komi Republik and in the town Plesetsk of Arkhangelsk region. Research showed that the content of trace elements in hair of examined children differ from each other and the norm for the midland of Russia. Almost 50% of children of the city Inta the content of zinc in hair is lowered. All the studied places are characterized by high copper content: in Inta - for 71 % of preschool children, in Troitsko-Petschorsk - for 53 %, in Plesetsk - for 74 %. The content of lead at children in Inta and Troitsko-Petschorsk exceeds the norm. More than half of the examined children of Inta have an excess of lead. It can be connected with an environmental situation and the characteristics of geochemical provinces of Northern European. Connections between content of some trace elements in organism and development of diseases have been analyzed.

In the article a problem of providing with qualitative drinking water of the population of the Orenburg region which is one of water scarce regions of Russia is considered. The current condition of water systems is caused by existence of a significant amount of sources of pollution and semi-arid climate of the region. And namely this aspect accents a problem of research of quality of drinking water in this region. Main reasons for unsatisfactory quality of drinking water are opened. Except the natural polluting factors, the anthropogenic activity on catchment areas of water objects associated with plowing of lands, use of herbicides and fertilizers, a construction of roads, bridges and gas and oil pipelines has a great influence on quality of water. The presence of these constructions produces an increase in concentration of pollutants, its accumulation along routes with the subsequent washout by drains of rain and thawed snow in water objects. Environmental stress is increased by cross-border transfer of harmful pollutants from Chelyabinsk region, the Republics of Bashkortostan and Kazakhstan. Surface water quality practically of all water objects doesn't meet standard requirements of economic and drinking and fishery appointment. This is due to fact that in most parts of the region there are no facilities for water purification and disinfection. In rural settlements technical condition of water distribution networks is unsatisfactory. There are no water disinfection systems and this fact often leads to the emergence of infectious diseases. The main actions in order to optimize the system of providing the Orenburg region population by standard quality drinking water and in sufficient quantity are offered.

The purpose of the study - the study of the relationship of verbal and nonverbal intelligence with the physiological parameters of decision-making at the school in the age range 11-18 years. To study the structure of intelligence intelligent use group test (HIT) and the test structure of intelligence R. Amthauera. Assessment of individual results in these methods is carried out using an empirically selected age norm in points. An objective assessment of decision-making in a variety of environmental conditions carried out using a computer complex for psychophysiological research KPFK - 99 "Psihomat." The study was conducted in the modes of "Free Choice", "Probabilistic choice", "Controlled Choice". The modality of stimulus in all three modes - light. The results were subjected to statistical analysis by means of statistical analysis software package SPSS. To study the structure of the relationship of verbal and nonverbal intelligence and decision-making strategies in the age aspect in each age group was conducted correlation analysis with a preliminary estimate of the distribution features of normality, calculated the Pearson linear correlation coefficient (Pearson Correlation). Correlation models are based on matrices, analyzed the number of relationships, taking into consideration only the average (0,3 < r < 0,7) and strong (r > 0,7) bond. The results of correlation analysis revealed the existence of statistically significant relationships physiological parameters and decision-making structure of the intellect. These relationships are found in a free, probabilistic and deterministic environments. The study of the number and structure of the relationships among pupils aged 11-18 revealed that the correlation models are age and gender characteristics. Identify the structure of intelligence relationships with psychophysiological indicators allows further study of psychophysiological mechanisms of decision-making in different age categories.

Elemental hair profile of the population is adequate hygienic indicator reflecting the impact of climatic and geographical, biogeochemical and ecological characteristics of the area on human. This indicator is also a tool for monitoring the population's health through detection and elimination the elementosis which is typical for the territory. The purpose of this study was to carry out a study of element status of adult population of the Republic of Tatarstan not employed in the manufacturing sector in the framework of the Federal Target Program "National System of chemical and biological security of the Russian Federation. It was analised elemental composition of hair 2,127 adult residents (1,667 women and 460 men aged 25-50 years) of the Republic of Tatarstan in the period 2004 and 2010 to perform the tasks. ICP-AES and ICP-MS methods was used. Mathematical processing of data was carried out using methods of nonparametric statistics. In general, the evaluation of the element status of population of the Republic of Tatarstan showed that the situation with the adult residents is sufficient, although the male part of the population deficits are relatively frequent. Attracts attention common for both men and women accumulation of aluminum, silicon and calcium in hair. The positive facts necessary to carry a small risk hipoelementosis frequency in women.

The results of influence of "third age" education on subjective evaluation and objective indices of health are presented. Three groups of respondents took part in the research. Non-working pensioners (n = 23) constitute the first group. The second group includes 19 non-working pensioners who attended courses of computer literacy. The third group constitutes non-working pensioners (n = 21), students of special educational program "Applied psychology". Average age of participants - 62,7 ± 4,4 years for women and 65,9 ± 5,2 years for men. Women-men ration was 70 % to 30 % respectively. Comparative analysis of health index in groups reveals statistically significant differences. Those who do not work and do not participate in educational programs consider that their health needs permanent control and care. Those who study mentioned some diseases that do not restrict their activity and mobility. Objective information about health was obtained by means of "Varicard 2.8" - the instrument for analysis of cardiac rate variability. The results reveal significant differences between groups in estimations of their state of health: non-working pensioners who do not participate in educational programs rate their health from bad to worse while objective examination does not confirm such evaluations; nonworking pensioners who participate in different kinds of educational activity consider themselves more healthy than the results of medical objective examinations have revealed. Upon the whole, our research has revealed that educational activity results favourably on subjective representations of seniors about their health and on objective medical indices as well.

We studied associations between rs8193036 polymorphism of IL-17A gene (C737T) and plasma levels of IL-17A in patients with erysipelas and healthy subjects in a Kazakh population. The rs8193036 polymorphism was assessed in 95 patients with erysipelas and 383 control subjects. The IL-17A (rs8193036) polymorphism was studied by a real time polymerase chain reaction. Plasma levels of IL-17A were assessed in 90 patients with erysipelas and 90 healthy subjects by enzyme immunoassay. Categorical data were analyzed using Pearson's Chi tests and odds ratios (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI). Continuous data were studied using Kruskal -Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests with Bonferroni correction. We found that T allele occurred more frequently (OR = 1.41; 95 % CI: 0.21-0.92) while allele C (OR = 0.71; 95 % CI: 0.51-0.99) and genotype CC (OR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.21-0.92) occurred less frequently in cases than in controls. In erysipelas patients with CC genotype the level of IL-17A was significantly higher (p = 0.010) compared to the carriers of CT genotype. Also, the levels of IL-17A in patients with erysipelas was higher than among controls in groups with both CC and CT genotypes (p = 0.023 and p = 0.020, respectively). These data suggest that the rs8193036 polymorphism of IL-17A gene may play a role in the etiology of erysipelas, but other factors are also involved.
