Simplified aerobic and anaerobic microbiotas derived from compost for efficient degradation of cellulosic biomasses
Authors: Campos Olga Ayala , Valdez-Vazquez Idania , Sanchez Arturo
Published: April 2023

The high cost of commercial enzymes for depolymerizing fermentable
carbohydrates of lignocellulosic biomass represents one of the main
drawbacks to its use as a renewable feedstock to produce bioenergy and
bioproducts. This work employs the dilution-to-stimulation method to
produce simplified microbiotas with a high capacity for cellulose
degradation. These microbiotas were obtained from four lignocellulosic
composts cultivated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions during ten
transfers using carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as carbon source. After the
eighth transfer, the depolymerization percentage of CMC reached the same
values (70 ± 3%) for all microbiotas and respiration conditions. The
microbial structure of all enriched microbiotas was simplified, mostly
to Lactobacillus and Clostridium in anaerobic conditions while the more
diverse aerobic enriched microbiotas were composed mainly of Rhizobium,
Enterobacter, Alcaligenes, and Enterococcus. After the enrichment
process, the two enriched microbiotas were grown on four
biologically-pretreated xylan-free lignocellulosic biomasses achieving a
maximum cellulose degradation rate of 0.063 g/L-h, and 0.061 g/L-h,
respectively. These cellulose-degrading microbiotas are a promising
alternative to high-cost enzymes for their capacity to obtain
fermentable sugars from different lignocellulosic biomasses that could
be used in synergy with selected fermenting bacteria to obtain a desired
fermentation product.
The “evol” is in the details: a rummage-region model for the origins of lineage-specific elements via gene duplication, relocation, and regional rearrangement in Neurospora crassa

Published: April 2023

The origin of new genes has long been a central interest of evolutionary
biologists. However, novelty evades reconstruction by the classical
tools of evolutionary modeling. This evasion of insight from deep
ancestral investigation necessitates intensive study of model species
within well-sampled, recently diversified clades. The model
Neurospora species—which lack recent gene duplications yet
harbor clusters of lineage-specific genes (LSGs) adjacent to the
telomeres—constitute comprehensively characterized organisms apt for
studying the evolution of LSGs. Using gene syntenies, we documented that
78% of Neurospora LSGs clusters accompany large non-coding regions,
frequent gene duplications and relocation, or regional rearrangements.
Ancestral status of the LSG mas-1 and its neighbors was
investigated in detail, and we identified sequence conservation among
syntenic non-coding regions that suggests that it arose from an ancient
copy of a lysophospholipase precursor that is ubiquitous in lineages of
the Sordariomycetes. High resistance to polyoxin D of the mas-1
mutant demonstrates that the gene exhibits a role in cell-wall integrity
and cellular sensitivity to antifungal toxins. To perform a broader
investigation of the function of LSGs, we assembled transcriptomics data
from 68 experimental data points and identified co-regulatory modules
using Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis. This analysis revealed
no essential roles for LSGs in known regulatory machinery. Our
discoveries illuminate a “rummage region” in the N. crassa
genome that enables some novel elements and new functions to arise via
gene duplication and relocation or invasion of genetic materials,
followed by fast mutation and recombination facilitated by tandem
repeats and unconstrained non-coding sequences.

Authors: Djordjevic Slavica , Knezevic Snezana , Savic Nikola
Published: April 2023

Introduction. The main goal of wellness is to promote proactive and
preventive behavior that improves mental health and lifestyle. This study
examined how the lifestyle of respondents was affected by the inability to
visit spas and wellness centers during the coronavirus disease 2019
pandemic. Material and Methods. This crosssectional study included a total
of 186 participants with an average age of 41.31 ? 10.475 years, 137 female
and 49 male. We specifically designed a questionnaire to analyze the impact
of the lack of wellness services during the coronavirus disease 2019
pandemic. Results. There was no statistically significant association
between gender, age, education, and marital status and visiting wellness
destinations. Monthly income, however, showed a statistically significant
association with visiting wellness facilities (p = 0.002). There was a
significant decrease in the use of wellness centers during the coronavirus
disease 2019 pandemic. A small number of the respondents believed the
coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has changed their lifestyle. Conclusion.
The lack of wellness services has affected the respondents? inability to
relax and get away from daily life, but the coronavirus disease 2019
pandemic has not negatively changed their lifestyle (p = 0.001).
A rare cause of myocardial infarction - coronary artery embolization by myxoma fragments
Authors: Ivanovic Vladimir , Dabovic Dragana , Stefanovic Maja , Bjelobrk Marija , Samardzija Golub , Crnomarkovic Branislav
Published: April 2023

Introduction. Myxoma is the most common intracardiac tumor accounting for
about 50% of all heart tumors. The symptoms depend on the size of the tumor,
its location and mobility. Embolic manifestations of coronary arteries are
extremely rare, occurring in about 0.06% of cases, and they are caused by
tumor fragments. Case Report. A 54-year-old female patient was admitted for
an acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation in the inferior
leads. Urgent coronary angiography was performed showing no coronary vessel
stenosis. In the projection of the left atrium, a mobile mass with partial
calcification was registered, which was stained to a lesser extent with a
contrast agent. These were nutrient vessels with a typical ?tumor blush?
sign. An echocardiographic examination showed a round, inhomogeneous mass in
the left atrium, which was fixed to the interatrial septum. The findings
were presented to the cardiology team and urgent surgical extirpation was
performed. During the follow-up period of two years, the patient was doing
well and echocardiographic examination showed a normal finding, without
recurrence of the tumor. Conclusion. Acute myocardial infarction in people
without risk factors for ischemic heart disease is very rare. The most
common cause of this type of acute coronary syndrome is spontaneous coronary
artery dissection. Acute myocardial infarction caused by embolization of the
coronary artery by myxoma fragments is a rare phenomenon. Echocardiographic
examination is the method of choice in the diagnosis of myxoma. The most
effective treatment for these patients is surgical resection of the tumor
with low operative mortality.
Types of stressors and their influence on human capital in the gaming industry
Authors: Markovic Jelena , Jovic Jelena
Published: April 2023

Research indicates a clear need for society to improve the quality of human capital by reducing stress at the workplace in order to improve the wellbeing of employees, the organization and society. The daily stress of employees has increased on the global stage, therefore research examining different aspects of workplace stress is necessary. The goal of this research was to determine the types of stress among employees in the gaming industry through the analysis of the intensity of their negative emotional response to different sources of work related stress. 753 subjects (80.1% of women, average age 25.2 ? 3.21). The Stress Scale in Young-30 (SSM-30) was used (? = 0.904). The data were processed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural modeling. Research results show that there are four types of workplace stress in the gaming industry (Family stress, Job expectations, Deficits, Burden). The strongest stressor is heavy workload in the workplace. Reactions to different types of stressors are correlated. The most important correlation is expressed between negative emotional responses to high achievement demands and heavy workload showing that employees respond to demands for more engagement at work and the improvement of the work output in a similar way.
It's Not Always Black and White—Identifying Characteristics of Managers Who Perceive and Use Ambiguity in Accounting to Their Advantage
Authors: Chambers Valerie A. , Reckers Philip M. J. , Whitecotton Stacey M.
Published: April 2023

Prior research shows that rules ambiguity often leads to self-serving decision making and ethical violations. We extend this research by identifying characteristics of managers that associate with increased perceptions of ambiguity in accounting standards. Specifically, we find higher levels of narcissism (entitled self-interest), impulsivity (affective reactivity), and construal mindset (abstract thinking) are all significant contributors, individually and in combination. Our integrated, interactive model shows impulsivity interacts with both construal mindset and with narcissism in perceptions of rules ambiguity. Path analysis further documents that perceived ambiguity mediates trait characteristics and self-serving earnings management choices. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of underlying processes driving earnings management and may explain, in part, recent mixed evidence in psychology regarding the effects of higher level construal thinking and the cognitive processes driving the interaction of narcissism and impulsivity in business settings. We also address potential implications in an era of increased principles-based guidance.

Auditors’ Responses to Real Earnings Management: The Effects of Timing and Potential Consequences on Auditor Decision-Making
Authors: Tang Fengchun , Yang Ling
Published: April 2023

In this study, we investigate whether the timing and the potential consequences of a transaction influence auditors’ decisions regarding real earnings management (REM). Based on the results of an online experiment with 159 certified public accountant (CPA) participants, we find that the timing of a transaction acts as a signal of management’s intent that auditors use to infer REM. While the timing of the transaction helps auditors identify REM, whether auditors take confrontational actions (i.e., actions taken by auditors to confront a client for the final resolution of an REM issue) also depends on their evaluation of the transaction. We find that auditors are more likely to take confrontational actions when the transaction occurs at the end of the reporting period and is likely to result in more severe negative consequences to the firm’s future operations.

Published: April 2023

  

Objective: The Rare and Atypical Diabetes Network (RADIANT) will study individuals and, if deemed informative, their family members with uncharacterized forms of diabetes.

Research Design and Methods: The protocol includes genomic (whole genome (WGS), RNA and mitochondrial sequencing), phenotypic (vital signs, biometric measurements, questionnaires and photography), metabolomics and metabolic assessments.

Results: In 122 of 878 enrolled individuals with WGS results, a likely pathogenic variant in a known diabetes monogenic gene was found in 3 (2.5%) and 6 new monogenic variants have been identified in the SMAD5, PTPMT1, INS, NFKB1, IGF1R, and PAX6 genes. Frequent phenotypic clusters are lean type 2 diabetes, autoantibody negative and insulin deficient diabetes, lipodystrophic diabetes, and new forms of possible monogenic or oligogenic diabetes.

Conclusions: The analyses will lead to improved means of atypical diabetes identification. Genetic sequencing can identify new variants and metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis can identify novel mechanisms and biomarkers for atypical disease.

Influence of MHz bursts on the ablation efficiency of fused silica
Authors: Yang Yongting , Schwarz Simon , Esen Cemal , Hellmann Ralf
Published: April 2023

We report on micromilling of fused silica using a 1030 nm femtosecond laser with an intraburst repetition frequency of 40 MHz. Milling of cavities reveals a monotonously increasing ablation efficiency with increasing subpulse number, while the ablation threshold of each subpulse decreases. These results prove that MHz bursts benefit the milling of fused silica. In comparison to the non-burst mode, the maximum efficiency increases about 1.6 times by using a 10 subpulse burst. In addition, bursts cause coarse ablated surfaces, whereas low subpulse numbers in conjunction with increasing fluences lead to a reduction of the surface roughness. A subpulse number of 2 keeps the roughness at the same level as for non-burst at high fluences while enhancing the ablation efficiency about 0.08 mm 3/min/W.
A Comparative Study of Neonatal Outcome in Early-Term Neonates versus Full-Term Neonates in a Tertiary Care Hospital in North India
Authors: S Upadhyay
Published: April 2023

Background: Neonatal morbidity due to physiologic immaturity has been extensively studied in preterm infants delivered in less than 37 weeks gestation. However, evidence indicates that the infants delivered between 37+0 and 38+6 weeks gestation are also at increased risk for morbidity compared with the infants delivered at 39+0 to 40+6 weeks. Methodology: The present hospital-based prospective observational study was conducted among 150 neonates [75 babies each of early term (37+0 to 38+6 weeks) and full term (39+0 to 40+6 weeks)], born to consenting mothers in a tertiary care referral and teaching hospital, Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences, Bareilly. Apart from maternal demographic and obstetric factors, features of the newborn - APGAR score at 1 & 5 minutes, admission to NICU, and other morbidity indicators such as respiratory distress, hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal sepsis, and prolonged hospital stay (>7 days), etc were recorded and compared. SPSS v21.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean age of mothers was 25.27+3.93 years (age range 19-40 years). Early term deliveries were common among older age groups, and full term among younger ones. Full term neonates had a higher APGAR 1-minute score than early term (p = 0.049), but this difference was not significant at 5-minute score (p > 0.05). NICU admission, respiratory distress and jaundice were more common among early term as compared to full term neonates (*p < 0.05). Conclusion: Early term neonates have a significantly higher morbidity and distress as compared to full term neonates. Studies are recommended to develop strategies to reduce early delivery of high-risk pregnancies.
Breaking the Glass Ceiling In Kenya: Defining Attributes Of Trailblazing Women in Higher Education Leadership Positions
Authors: KIPKOSGEI EVELYN
Published: April 2023

Patriarchal issues, in which the women's role was to always take care of the family and pursue motherly duties have hampered women’s quest for ascendency to leadership positions, and more so in Africa.  Yet, as the years and generations pass, women are just as capable to be a leader in big companies, yet due to past traditions they are still viewed as the caretaker of the family. The objective of the study was to presents in detail the attributes of the women trailblazers in higher education leadership in Kenya. A feminist approach problematizes the gendered relations in universities which research has pointed to inequalities in the distribution of resources and opportunities.This study is situated within the African Feminist theoretical framework because it is central to the fight against oppression of women in Africa and has granted women a platform to voice their concerns. The plank of African feminism postulates that, in many parts of Africa, women strive to bear and rear children in addition to having economic and political roles. This theory underpinned this study because African feminist perspective problematizes the blatant discrimination against women in all cadres, particularly in leadership levels across institutions. The study was qualitative in nature and was based on a census survey design. The research targeted 107 women in leadership ranks of principals, research centers’ directors, deans, and heads of departments, as well as deputy vice-chancellors and vice-chancellors across the 32 public universities.The results from the study are mainly based on a verbatim narrative of 18 women leaders in response to the research questions. Some of the 18 participants currently occupy senior leadership positions and small number of former leaders that have since completed their terms, retired or moved on to leadership positions outside the university. Overall the respondents are associated with 12 of the 32 public universities in Kenya. The study answered the research question: What is the defining attributes of the women in higher education leadership in Kenya? The study found that the attributes can be broadly categorized as leadership style and quest for identity, the right skillset, education, and training, activism and collaboration, reliance on role models and mentors, demonstration of ambition and standing out, and being an embodiment of spiritual values. The study concluded that it’s through the exposition of this attributes that the women in higher education leadership have been able to break the glass ceiling.

An Insight to Oral Health Condition and Management Strategies in Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Solomon Raji Viola , Priya Shanti , Pentala Aamuktha , Nazreen Asra
Published: April 2023

Autism spectrum disorder is a group of neurodegenerative disorders that is caused by a physiological disorder of the brain which represents a change in its shape and structure and is characterized by difficulties with social interaction & communication and by restricted & repetitive behavior.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents with behavioral characteristics that can occur in the early developmental stages of individuals. Autism symptoms appear in the majority of children between the ages of 12 and 18 months. Early indicators of autism include challenges faced by the individual in making eye contact, being unresponsive to his or her name, having difficulty following another person's gaze or in pointing a finger to an item and having poor imitation with nonverbal communication issues. Because most parents are unaware of these "early" indicators of autism, majority of the children with autism do not receive a diagnosis until they reach the age of 3. Dental issues such as bruxism, non-nutritive chewing, tongue thrusting, masochistic behaviors, erosion, xerostomia, dental caries, gingival disorders and delayed tooth eruption are common in children with ASD. These children present with an unusual response to stimuli making it difficult for the parents/caretakers to maintain their child's oral hygiene and poses a challenge for dentists to operate on the child. Therefore, it is important to prevent or intervene in any kind of dental disease at an early stage. The current review article focuses on children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the oral hygiene concerns they face, as well as describes the various therapy options for these individuals.

Published: April 2023

Fatty acid composition of milk has become an important trait in dairy production, but there has not been a large amount of research on milk fat composition in beef cows. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of polymorphisms in the fatty acid synthase (FASN) and acyl-CoA diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1) gene on milk and colostrum fatty acid composition, and their direct (calf) and indirect (cow/mother) relationships with calf birth weight and weight gain over 14 days. Eight Charolais cows and eight calves were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP method. The cows’ milk and colostrum fatty acid profiles and their calves’ weight at birth and 14 day weight gain were analysed. In the colostrum, cows with DGAT1 genotype KA had a significantly higher content of C4:0 and lower C10:0, and with FASN diplotype TW/AR a tendency for higher C14:0 and C16:0 colostrum FA content. In the milk, Charolais cows with diplotype TW/AR tended to have higher C14:1, C16:0 and C16:1, but lower C18:0 content. At the same time, no associations were found between DGAT1 genotypes and the fatty acid composition of milk. There were also no significant associations found between the studied SNPs and the calf’s birth weight and weight gain over 14 days, although calves with DGAT1 KA genotype tended to have higher birth weight.
Investing intangible assets in a modern economy
Authors: Samokhvalova Zh. P.
Published: April 2023

The development of small enterprises is an urgent economic task at the present stage. The support provided by the Government of the country, the decisions taken by the Central Bank are aimed at creating the foundations for the development of small businesses, but the conditions in which business has had to develop in recent years have severely affected the financial capabilities of existing and potential entrepreneurs. During this period, the structure of the types of activities that small and medium–sized businesses are engaged in has changed significantly. A sharp restriction in investment opportunities forces us to look for new forms with which to open or reformat existing small businesses. The use of an investment mechanism based on intangible assets in the form of a license agreement in the form of franchising will solve these issues. The use of a franchise is associated with certain difficulties, resulting in risks both arising in the process of formation and in the case of a developed and functioning business. Despite the rather specific risks in this area, the franchising market is developing quite dynamically, and although its development takes place in waves, sensitively reacting to the political situation, the development is progressive. The decline in the presence of foreign franchises on the Russian market was replaced by an increase in the import of Russian franchises to the previously non–existent markets of Turkey and the UAE. The innovation market, which includes the franchising market, as an integral part of intangible assets, is recognized as the most promising from the point of view of economic development.

Authors: Kushelev I. Y.
Published: April 2023

To consider the main stages and problems of the introduction of telematics in the insurance industry, to identify the importance and prospects for the development of telematics in motor insurance in Russia.

Tasks. To investigate telematics models in auto insurance; to identify problems affecting the introduction of telematics in the insurance business; to analyze the state of the car insurance market in Russia and the experience of foreign countries in the introduction of telematics; to analyze the attitude of policyholders to telematics in auto insurance.

The study was conducted using general scientific and private scientific methods, a formal–logical approach, as well as a survey of policyholders.

Results. In Russia, the use of insurance telematics technologies is at an early stage. Insurers need to be prepared to work with huge amounts of information, have specialized software and a powerful back office. All this requires significant investment in development and operation. The state of the auto insurance market and the experience of foreign countries in the implementation of telematics are analyzed. The necessity of using insurance telematics as a new level of cooperation with clients is proved based on an in–depth analysis of scientific works, a survey of insurers and the market situation.

Conclusions. It has been established that telematic devices make it possible to determine the cost of an insurance policy, reduce the losses of an insurance company by creating personal insurance products, increase the level of service and, in general, reduce cases of insurance fraud more accurately.

In the article the author examines the issues of interrelation and mutual influence of demographic factors and the economic development of the country. And also the problem of the how the economic state, positive and negative economic trends affect demographic factors.

These processes are typical for almost all countries of the world, but the author decided to consider this problem on the example of Russia in retrospect. There are three periods of economic reforms: 1991–1999, 2000–2009, 2010–2021.

Such an analysis makes it possible to draw conclusions related to demographic processes, makes it possible to justify socio–economic policy at the national level.
Improving Psychological Well-Being of Young Adults by Conducting Family History Research at a Religious University
Authors: Lunt Barry M. , Summers Kelley R. , Wood David A.
Published: April 2023

Prior research suggests that knowledge of one’s family is correlated with, but does not produce, psychological well-being. We test this conjecture, by examining whether participating in family history research (i.e., genealogical research) is associated with psychological well-being above and beyond the effects of knowledge of one’s family, documented in prior research. To test this, we examine whether students enrolled in a university level family history course, improve in family identification, selfesteem, anxiety, resilience, and locus of control more than a control sample. For students enrolled in the family history course, we find an increase in family identification, which in turn leads to improvements in each of these areas of psychological wellbeing. Direct effects of being in the family history course show improvements in selfesteem of 8% and reductions in anxiety of 20%. In follow-up tests we examine which aspects of genealogical research are associated with measures of psychological wellbeing and find that researching genealogical records (e.g., examining census records) is associated with greater self-esteem and reduced anxiety but that posting memories about families and expanding one’s family tree do not have the same relation with measures of psychological well-being.
Bodies on Social Phenomena: Implementation of Cyanotype Photogram-Based Creation and Oil Paint

Published: April 2023

The goal of this research is to create an artwork by combining two genres of art, specifically photography and painting. The primary foundation of this composition is Cyanotype, or photograms on Cyanotype media, a 19th-century photographic process. Exploration and experimenting on the technique and concept of the piece are the primary methods used in this creation. The end result is a collaborative work using Cyanotype and painting technique to enhance the character and concept of the piece. This type of collaborative creativity is still uncommon, and it is critical to adopt it as a new way of working. Cyanotype is an old photography method that is still used today. These conditions encourage exploration. The combination of cyanotype and painting techniques allows for the development of more unique and valuable works. The body in social phenomena is the focus of this collaborative effort. The findings of this study support Langer's idea that art is an expressive form formed by perception through the senses or imagination and conveyed from human feelings. Physical feelings, pain, comfort, and joy are all examples of this type of expression.Penelitian terapan ini merupakan upaya penciptaan karya melalui kombinasi dua bidang seni, yaitu seni fotografi dan seni lukis. Pondasi dasar penciptaan ini adalah teknik fotografi abad ke-19 yaitu Cyanotype, tepatnya fotogram di atas media Cyanotype. Metode utama dalam penciptaan ini adalah eksplorasi dan eksperimentasi terhadap teknik dan tema karya. Hasil awal berupa cetakan Cyanotype dikombinasikan dengan torehan cat lukis untuk memperkuat karakter dan tema karya. Penciptaan kolaboratif semacam ini masih sangat jarang dilakukan dan penting untuk menjadi cara baru dalam berkarya. Cyanotype sendiri adalah teknik fotografi tua yang dibuat secara ‘handmade’. Kondisi tersebut membuka ruang eksperimentasi. Pengombinasian Cyanotype dan teknik lukis membuka peluang terwujudnya karya yang unik dan bernilai lebih. Tema yang diangkat dalam karya kolaboratif ini adalah tubuh dalam fenomena sosial. Hasil penelitian ini sesuai dengan teori Langer, bahwa karya seni merupakan bentuk ekspresif yang diciptakan menurut persepsi melalui indera atau imajinasi yang diekspresikan dari perasaan manusia. Bentuk ekspresi ini adalah segala sesuatu yang dapat dirasakan, sensasi fisik, rasa sakit, kenyamanan, dan kegembiraan. Tubuh manusia digambarkan sebagai objek utama karena manusia merupakan pemain kunci dalam mengelola alam di bumi ini. Perpaduan proses Cyanotype dan seni lukis memiliki ciri yang berbeda, terutama ekspresif, spontan, dan dinamis yang menggambarkan kesedihan dan ketakutan.

Utilization of technology can be a solution in the process of supervising certified seeds, especially at the stage of field inspection, which is faster and more efficient. This study aimed to develop a drone image-based rice variety system to support the inspection process for seed certification. The research was conducted from March – July 2022. The rice plants of IPB 3S and Inpari 32 varieties located in Karawang, West Java were observed for their agronomic characteristics. The images of the two varieties were taken using a drone and augmented and cropped. The overall image obtained was 80% used as training data, 20% as data validation, and 10% as test data. The variety identification system was built using a model by applying the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm. The performance of the model was observed through accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-Score. All agronomic characters justified that the two varieties used were different. This study produced three CNN models that could accurately identify the varieties of IPB 3S and Inpari 32 with an accuracy rate of 99.52% to 100%. Drone imaging is prospective for field inspection process of seed certification.

Emotion and judgment in young women of a society in transition
Authors: Pilotti Maura A. E. , El Alaoui Khadija
Published: April 2023

The present study asked whether emotional responses to narratives of moral transgressions are shaped by the reader’s assumed relationship with the injured party (i.e., oneself, familiar other, and unfamiliar other). Its goal was to test a cultural, religious, and individualistic account of such responses in young females of a traditional society in transition towards a sustainable integration into the global economy. To this end, female college students from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were asked to identify their emotional reaction to each of several moral transgressions, report its intensity and then judge the severity of the transgression. In agreement with the religious norm hypothesis, whereby others are to be treated as oneself, reported emotions, affective intensity, and moral judgment did not change with students’ relationship with the injured party. The only exception was students’ lenient judgment when feeling angry for being the victim of a transgression, which underlies the tenet of forgiveness in religious doctrine.

Bireyler finansal güvenliklerini sağlamak için farklı psikolojik davranışlar sergileyerek finansal davranışlarını ortaya koymaktadır. Öz-kontrolü yüksek olan bireyler finansal anlamda sürekli akılcı hareket etmek ister. Öz-kontrol ile birlikte bireyler finansal güvenliklerine daha fazla önem verirler. Öz-kontrolü yüksek olan bireyler daha fazla geleceği düşünür ve daha güvenilir finansal davranış sergiler. Bireylerin öz-kontrolünü artıracak ve finansal güvenliklerini sağlayacak önemli kavramlardan birisi de finansal okuryazarlıktır. Finansal okuryazarlık düzeyi yüksek olan bireylerin finansal davranışlarından duyacağı güven de yüksek olacaktır. Bu çalışmada Borsa İstanbul’da işlem yapan bireysel yatırımcıların öz-kontrollerinin finansal güvenliklerine etkisinde finansal okuryazarlığın düzenleyici rolü araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda hazırlanan anket formu Borsa İstanbul’da işlem yapan bireysel yatırımcılara tesadüfi örneklem yöntemi kullanılarak ulaştırılmış ve 503 bireysel yatırımcı çalışmaya geri dönüş sağlamıştır. Çalışma sonucunda öz-kontrol ile finansal güvenlik arasında istatistiksel anlamda pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda finansal okuryazarlığın öz-kontrol ile finansal güvenlik arasındaki düzenleyici rolü de çalışmada kanıtlanmıştır.

Os Centros de Assistência Toxicológica possuem uma importância relevante na promoção, prevenção e controle de agravos à saúde em casos de intoxicação, pois fornece um serviço de orientação e atendimento especializado para lidar com essas situações e para minimizar os prejuízos causados pelos agentes tóxicos. Diante disso, o objetivo do estudo foi analisar o perfil epidemiológico de intoxicações por medicamento, no período de 2017 a 2021, no estado do Ceará. Este estudo está caracterizado como epidemiológico exploratório- descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa, em que serão analisados os dados secundários do registro de casos de intoxicações por medicamento, registrados no Sistema Nacional de Agravos de Notificação, entre os anos de 2017 e 2021. Os dados foram coletados no período de março a abril de 2022. As variáveis levantadas são faixa etária, sexo, circunstâncias das intoxicações, óbito. Nas análises epidemiológicas foi feito o cálculo dos registros de intoxicação por medicamentos coletados no SINAN-TABNET. Resultados: Os resultados desse estudo no período de 2017 a 2021 permitiram a identificação do perfil de intoxicações medicamentosas no Estado do Ceará. Observamos que dentre as variáveis estudadas houve uma prevalência do sexo feminino, faixa etária entre 20-39 anos, e dentre as circunstâncias demostradas, a tentativa de suicídio apresentou dados mais alarmantes. Conclusão: Verificamos a necessidade de medidas efetivas no combate ao uso incorreto dos medicamentos, com ações sociais para conscientizar a população para o uso racional dos medicamentos e orientação para os riscos apresentados por medicamentos devido seu abuso intencional ou não intencional, e uma reavaliação do perfil das pessoas com alta prevalência de intoxicações.

A procura pela medicina popular tem sido recorrente, em que plantas medicinais são consumidas como agentes terapêuticos na prevenção de diversos sintomas e doenças. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a utilização de produtos naturais da medicina popular durante a pandemia, na prevenção da infecção e dos sintomas da COVID-19. Foi feito um estudo observacional transversal descritivo. Utilizou-se como processo de amostragem o método de recrutamento consecutivo de participantes (Snowball), por meio de um questionário distribuído nacionalmente pelas mídias sociais para a população acima de 18 anos de idade, no período de setembro de 2021 a março de 2022. Para as análises estatísticas foi utilizado o teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson e/ou o exato de Fisher, considerando intervalos de confiança de 95% e nível de significância de 5% (p < 0,05). Participaram do estudo 1022 pessoas. Variáveis como sexo, escolaridade, idade, área de residência e região geográfica influenciaram significativamente a busca e o consumo de produtos a base de plantas medicinais. A maioria da população utilizou produtos naturais a base de plantas medicinas no período, sentiu melhora da saúde ao consumi-los e indica o uso para a prevenção da COVID-19 e de sintomas associados. No entanto, merece atenção o risco de toxicidade proveniente do uso incorreto e de interações medicamentosas, sendo necessários mais estudos.

We assessed bone-modifying agent (BMA) utilization and cost in patients with metastatic cancer and bone involvement at a National Cancer Institute–designated cancer center. We performed a retrospective review of BMA (zoledronic acid [ZA] or denosumab [DB]) utilization for fiscal years 2015 to 2020 (N = 1,421 patients; 14,545 administrations); a 60-day cutoff defined treatment interval (Q1 vs Q3). Wholesale acquisition and administration costs were esti­mated from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services–allowed charges. We calculated total costs and projected potential savings for switching from Q1 to Q3 ZA administration. There were 8,247 ZA administrations (1,003 patients) and 6,308 DB administrations (536 patients), and an increase in the proportion of Q3 ZA administrations in patients with breast cancer or multiple myeloma. Total costs on BMA utilization were estimated as $14.3 million, 90% attributable to DB. The projected savings for switching from Q1 to Q3 ZA administration among all tumor types was $1.0 million. Awareness of BMA prescribing patterns provides the opportunity to create institutional pathways, align practice with best avail­able evidence, and realize substantial savings.

Authors: Кузнецов В.С.
Published: April 2023

В данной статье при передаче закодированных сообщений в непрерывном гауссовском канале с АБГШ сформулированы условия выхода на границу Шеннона с минимальным расходом энергии на бит, асимптотически приближающимся к предельной минимальной величине ln2. На конкретных примерах расчёта помехоустойчивости ортогональных кодов длины не более 2048 доказывается возможность такой работы с произвольно высокой достоверностью.

In this article, when transmitting encoded messages in a continuous Gaussian channel with AWGN, conditions are formulated for reaching the Shannon boundary with a minimum energy consumption per bit asymptotically approaching the limiting minimum value ln2. On specific examples of calculating the noise immunity of orthogonal codes of length no more than 2048, the possibility of such work with arbitrarily high reliability is proved.
