AIR TEMPERATURE INFLUENCE ON THE NESTING PERIOD BEGINNING IN BIRDS OF PREY IN THE “ROEV RUCHEY” PARK
Authors: Buyanov Ivan , Voroncova Irina , Konovalova Anna
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the study is to identify, under controlled artificial conditions, the influence of calendar dates and surface air temperature on the beginning of nesting. The results of the study expand and clarify ideas about the influence of abiotic factors on various aspects of nesting of thirteen species of birds of prey, and may also entail some changes in the management of birds in order to correct reproductive functions. During long-term observations of reproductive pairs of birds of prey, data were collected on the timing of the start of nesting and accompanying weather conditions over a 13-year period. For the first time, data on the nesting time of birds of prey has been analyzed using the information theoretical method. The proposed approach allows for a quantitative assessment of the relationship (influence) of selected factors on nominal scales with consideration of the contingency structure. As a result of the analysis, the most probable period for the beginning of nesting of the entire list of species was determined to be in April. The temperature optimum for the beginning of nesting was revealed (8 °C). Pairs white-shouldered eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus), kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) and white owl (Bubo scandiacus) are distinguished by their consistency in landing on the nest at a certain period. Landing on the nest of a black vulture (Aegypius monachus), an owl (Bubo bubo), a bearded owl (Strix nebulosa) and one of two pairs of grouse (Accipiter gentilis) is less time-bound. The results obtained reveal the heterogeneity of the response of reproductive behavior to air temperature, and therefore the influence of this factor should be given more attention in the context of obtaining offspring of birds of prey.

The purpose of research is to study the effect of feeding a complex mineral-vitamin supplement on hematological blood parameters and the productivity of the Romanov breed young ewe. Objectives: to determine the deficiency of minerals in basic feed; taking into account the deficiency, complex mineral and vitamin feed supplement, (hereinafter referred to as CMVFS); establish feeding standards and techniques. To conduct scientific and economic experiments at the State Property Committee Yakupov D.N. of Birsk District of the Republic of Bashkortostan, 4 groups of young ewes of Romanov breeds were selected using the method of pair-analogues (by age, live weight) of 10 heads in each (1 control and three experimental). The duration of the experiment was 120 days. Three recipes for the production of CMVFS were developed with the introduction into their composition of local natural zeolite from the Kaltuban deposit of the Republic of Bashkortostan and sapropel, monocalcium phosphate and premix P81-1-89 and feed sulfur. The control group was fed the main diet; the daily norm of CMVFS was fed to the experimental groups as part of a grain mixture once a day. At the end of the experiment, compared with the indicators of the control group, the number of red blood cells in the experimental groups increased by 1.83 %, 6.39 and 10.16 %; leukocytes – by 4.00 %, 12.79 and 15.61 % and hemoglobin – by 3.00 %, 4.25 and 5.21 %. To assess the state of metabolism in the body of experimental animals using the CMVFS, biochemical blood parameters were studied before the experiment and during removal from the experiment. The additional introduction of CMVFS, which contains natural zeolite and sapropel in various proportions, into the diet of the animals, had a positive effect to varying degrees on the biochemical and hematological parameters of the blood, contributed to the improvement of the clinical condition of the animals, and also had a stimulating effect on protein and carbohydrate metabolism, hematopoietic functions organs and heart. All this creates the prerequisites for increasing animal productivity.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate grain proteins of Amur soybean varieties for tryptophan content. Task: selection of the most suitable soybean varieties for creating functional products. The objects of the study are 26 soybean varieties created by breeders of the Federal Scientific Center All-Russian Research Institute of Soybeans (Amur Region) over the past few years, included in the register of breeding achievements and zoned both in the region and beyond. Chemical analysis of soybeans was carried out in the laboratory for processing agricultural products of the All-Russian Research Institute of Soybeans using the Kapel-205 capillary electrophoresis system (Lumex, Russia). The studied varieties were grown in the experimental fields of the laboratory of selection and primary seed production (the village of Sadovoe, Tambov District, Amur Region). The largest amount of protein was observed in soybean grain of the Sentyabrinka variety (42.3 %), the smallest in the MK 100 and Alena varieties (38.4 %). The content of tryptophan in the protein of soybean grains of Amur varieties ranges from 0.99 to 1.21 g/100 g of protein. The best indicators for tryptophan content were noted for the varieties of All-Russian Research Institute of Soybean Husbandry – 18 (1.21 g) and Nevesta (1.17 g). Only one of the studied varieties, Sentyabrinka, has less than 1 g of tryptophan (0.99 g) in its protein composition. In 25 varieties, the tryptophan content in grain protein exceeds the FAO/WHO standard (1 g/100 g protein), which means that these soybean varieties are well suited for creating food products. Also, the best indicators for creating functional products taking into account the medicinal properties of tryptophan are soybean varieties of All-Russian Research Institute of Soybean Husbandry – 18, Nevesta, Zolotnitsa, Zhuravushka and Persona.

„Strona” techniki i „strona” sztuki w późnej myśli Martina Heideggera
Authors: Dybel Paweł
Published: February 2025

W artykule odnoszę się do sposobu w jaki Heidegger w swoich późnych publikacjach podjął kwestię relacji techniki i sztuki. Wskazuję na kluczową rolę jaką w jego rozważaniach pełni wprowadzone przez starożytnych Greków rozróżnienie na dwa sposoby wydobywania/odkrywania nieskrytości rzeczywistego za pomocą techne w oparciu o rzemieślnicze umiejętności. Pierwszy sposób, dotyczący wytwarzania rzeczy codziennego pożytku, tkwi u podstaw późniejszego pojęcia techniki, drugi zaś, nazywany poiesis, legł u podstaw pojmowania sztuki. W tym pierwszym wypadku kluczowe znaczenie miała pojawiająca się XVII wieku w przyrodoznawstwie wykładnia rzeczywistego jako dającego się skalkulować „składu” (der Bestand) energii do wykorzystania. Umożliwiła ona nie znającą miary i granic eksploatację rzeczywistego (przyrodniczego świata), którego nieskrytość liczy się jedynie o tyle o ile człowiek może ją odpowiednio nastawić na siebie. Z fatalnymi skutkami tego podejścia jesteśmy boleśnie konfrontowani dzisiaj.
Zupełnie inaczej do nieskrytości rzeczywistego odnoszą się przedstawienia dzieła sztuki, które jako efekt poiesis prezentują ją ze względu na nią samą i zastrzegają jako taką. Dzięki temu rodzą one efekt piękna. Dlatego sztuka eksponując w swoich przedstawieniach doświadczenie nieskrytości rzeczywistego jako nakierowanej na siebie ma dzisiaj za zadanie uprzytamnianie współczesnym ograniczenia i zagrożenia nastawczego podejścia do tej nieskrytości.
Mrugająca materia
Authors: Gondowicz Jan
Published: February 2025

Tekst stara się sprostać konsekwencjom niespodziewanego odkrycia, dotyczącego rysunków Brunona Schulza, głównie z lat 30. ub. wieku: niektóre przedstawione tam twarze, odwrócone do góry nogami, ujawniają inne, demoniczne oblicza. Proceder ten, nieznany dotąd grafice polskiej, ma jednak rozległe tradycje, w które zdaje się wpisywać Schulz. Deformacje takie, przekraczające tradycyjne granice sztuk i podbarwione swoistą mistyką, mieszczą się także w Schulzowskich strategiach wyobraźni, wykładanych w twórczości pisarskiej.
Słodkie życie i martwa natura. Milczenie jako aspekt recepcji dzieła sztuki
Authors: Kiepuszewski Łukasz
Published: February 2025

Swoje rozważania autor rozpoczyna od przybliżenia sylwetki bolońskiego malarza martwych natur Giorgio Morandiego, którego twórczość pozostaje w silnym związku z toposem ciszy i niewysłowienia. Kiepuszewski twierdzi, że milczenie nabiera w dziele sztuki swoistego autorytetu – gdy jest odpowiednio zapowiedziane i pojawia się w miejscu ostatniego słowa, niesie sugestie niezbędnego dopełnienia i domknięcia sensu wizerunku. Tak pojmowaną funkcję milczenia autor odnajduje w dwóch omawianych przez siebie filmach, w których pojawiają się obrazy Morandiego – w Słodkim życiu Federica Felliniego i Nocy Michelangelo Antonioniego. Kiepuszewski zauważa, że o ile w Nocy obraz Morandiego przede wszystkim dookreślał status społeczny postaci (posiadanie obrazów tego malarza uchodziło na przełomie lat 50. i 60. za oznakę przynależności do wyższych sfer), o tyle w Słodkim życiu budował on szereg dodatkowych znaczeń, niejako wikłając malarstwo w filmową fikcję. Analizując poszczególne aspekty tego uwikłania, autor dochodzi do konkluzji, że w Słodkim życiu obraz Morandiego – milcząco towarzysząc wydarzeniom – przyjmuje rolę uczestnika narracji i pozwala wyjaśnić niespodziewany i tragiczny zwrot akcji.

Las frutas frescas cortadas, valoradas por su conveniencia y nutrientes, enfrentan retos significativos, como el rápido deterioro y contaminación microbiana tras su procesamiento mínimo. Una solución prometedora a estos problemas son los envases activos que utilizan películas y recubrimientos biopoliméricos como quitosano, almidón, alginato, entre otros. Estos recubrimientos no sólo son comestibles, seguros y sostenibles, sino que también pueden incorporar nanotecnología a través de nanopartículas metálicas antimicrobianas. Esto mejora las propiedades mecánicas y de barrera de los polímeros y ofrece una protección efectiva contra patógenos. Este artículo discute cómo la combinación de biopolímeros naturales con nanopartículas antimicrobianas está transformando el sector de envases comestibles, lo cual abre nuevas posibilidades para preservar la frescura y seguridad de las frutas cortadas.
Microbiome as a modulator of immunotherapy response in pancreatic cancer
Authors: Goel Mahima , Gangidi Suma , Kittani Rand , Patel Priyank , Irudayaraj Joseph
Published: February 2025

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is widely regarded as one of the most lethal malignancies due to its rapid progression and the limited success of early detection methods and therapeutic interventions. While immunotherapy has emerged as an effective treatment option for various solid tumors, it has not demonstrated comparable efficacy in pancreatic cancer. Further research is required to evaluate the safety and efficacy of different immunotherapy modalities, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, T-cell transfer therapy, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, neoantigen vaccines, and epigenome-targeting treatments, specifically in the context of pancreatic cancer. Emerging evidence highlights the crucial role of the microbiome in modulating cancer cells’ responses to immunotherapy. Studies have increasingly implicated the gut microbiota composition as a direct influencer of tumorigenesis in pancreatic cancer. Certain microbial species have been shown to exert immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive effects on pancreatic cancer cells, thereby directly enhancing or suppressing their response to immunotherapeutic regimens. Despite these findings, there remains a paucity of comprehensive reviews on microbiome studies specific to individual immunotherapy modalities in pancreatic cancer. This review highlights the exciting potential of the microbiome in modulating pancreatic cancer responses across various immunotherapy subtypes and emphasizes the clinical need for further research in the field.

The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFA) gene plays a pivotal role in modulating inflammatory responses, and its variants have been hypothesized to influence susceptibility to endometriosis, a complex and multifactorial gynecological condition. Among the notable polymorphisms investigated are -238 G>A, -308 G>A, -850 C>T, -857 C>T, -863 C>A, and -1031 T>C. Despite substantial research, the evidence regarding their role as genetic risk factors for endometriosis remains inconclusive. To address this uncertainty, the present study conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the association between TNFA variants and endometriosis risk. A comprehensive search of electronic databases was performed to identify relevant studies. Data extraction and quality assessment were carried out using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated across various genetic models, with adjustments for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni correction. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was employed to determine the required sample size for conclusive results, and Egger’s test was used to assess publication bias. The analysis included 18 studies examining different TNFA polymorphisms, but no significant associations with endometriosis risk were identified. TSA revealed that the existing sample sizes were inadequate to detect definitive links. While the findings suggest that upstream variants of the TNFA gene are not associated with endometriosis risk, this does not conclusively rule out a role for TNFA in the disease pathogenesis. Further research involving larger, ethnically diverse populations is warranted to confirm these results and provide deeper insights into the genetic factors contributing to endometriosis.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is recognized as a major cause of death worldwide. Sustained exposure to pesticides is a significant factor that can increase morbidity and mortality rates due to CVD. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effects of pesticide exposure on CVD among adult participants in the Rafsanjan cohort study (RCS). Methods: Data were analyzed from 9,990 adult participants of RCS as a part of the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in IRAN. Data on personal habits, lifestyle, demographic characteristics, comorbidity history, physical activity, and pesticide exposure were collected via face-to-face questionnaires. The prevalence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) was assessed based on the medical history questionnaire of the participants. IHD was defined as a cardiac condition (either IHD or heart failure) diagnosed by a physician. Results: The mean age of participants with IHD was significantly higher than that of healthy participants (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the prevalence of IHD was higher in men compared to women (P = 0.003). In addition, the duration of pesticide exposure at home in men was significantly associated with IHD (P = 0.047). None of the other variables demonstrated a significant correlation with the prevalence of IHD. Conclusion: Pesticide exposure may increase the risk of IHD, as indicated by the results of the studied population. Implementing continuous, well-structured educational programs for individuals professionally exposed to pesticides is important. These programs should focus on personal protection and the safe use of pesticides to prevent or decrease the risk of CVDs. Relevance for patients: It is important for farmers, agricultural workers, and those living near agricultural areas to understand the risks that pesticides pose to cardiovascular health.

Published: February 2025

Objective: The objective of the study is to describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of critically ill coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients treated with dexamethasone in an intensive care unit (ICU) to provide a support tool for clinical decision-making. Design: A survey was conducted among hospitalized patients from November 2020 to March 2021, with data collected through patient interviews, medical records, and laboratory tests. Setting: This is a large hospital serving as a reference center for COVID-19 care in Bahia, Brazil. Patients: A convenience sample of 22 patients admitted to the COVID-19 ICU who signed informed consent to participate in the study. Methods: A cross-sectional study of patients admitted to the ICU with COVID-19. Data were analyzed using statistical methods. Results: The most common comorbidities among patients were hypertension (54%), diabetes (36%), and cardiovascular disease (27%). Among the deaths recorded, 55% of patients had hypertension, 44% had diabetes and/or required insulin therapy, 33% had a history of cardiovascular disease (including atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure), and 22% had a history of stroke. Renal dysfunction (elevated creatinine); liver function abnormalities (increased alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase); and elevated levels of ferritin, fibrinogen, and D-dimer were identified as potential indicators of disease progression. Among these factors, only elevated creatinine demonstrated a statistically significant association with an increased mortality risk. Conclusion: These findings provide a better understanding of the clinical course of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections and suggest that laboratory medicine is crucial in supporting clinical decision-making and advancing scientific and healthcare knowledge during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Relevance for patients: Identifying key risk factors, such as renal dysfunction, can improve early intervention and personalized treatment for critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Authors: Deepak Choudhary Deepak Kumar Choudhary , Ram Manohar Pandey  , Chandra Prakash  , Vishwjeet Kumar
Published: February 2025

The fabrication industry extensively uses SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) owing to its quality, precision and high production rate. The quality and strength of the weld are controlled by the weld bead geometry criterion and shape relationship, which are greatly influenced by the SAW process control variables, namely welding current, arc voltage, welding speed and nozzle-to-plate distance. The present study aims to develop mathematical relations between weld penetration shape factor (WPSF), weld reinforcement form factor (WRFF), % dilution, and total volume with process control variables. Experiments were conducted using “Two Level Half Factorial Design Techniques”. Design Expert software was deployed for graph plotting for the primary and interaction effects of process control variables on bead geometry parameters. Results indicated that voltage affects WPSF positively, while welding current and nozzle-to-plate distance affect WPSF negatively, and welding speed has an insignificant effect on WPSF. Similarly, for WRFF, arc voltage and welding speed have a positive effect, while welding current and nozzle-to-plate distance have a negative impact. For % dilution, nozzle-to-plate distance has an adverse effect and welding current has an insignificant impact. Welding current effects, the total bead volume, arc voltage, welding speed, and nozzle-to-plate distance have adverse effects.

The article considers one of the problems of formation of political views of young people in the current conditions. The
methodological bases of the study of political activity, conditions of development of politically active young gen-eration and
its integration into the socio-political process are outlined. Such an integrated approach allowed the au-thors to determine
the most essential features of political activity and subjectivity of young people, which are most clearly manifested in conventional forms of political participation. The place and role of political subjectivity in the process of socialization of young
people, the importance of youth public organizations (associations), institutions of youth self-government and parliamentarism are shown. It is concluded that the effectiveness of development of inter-action of relations in the system «youthsociety-state» largely depends on their political consciousness, civil and spir-itual-moral values. In addition, the authors
considered the influence of digitalization on the political consciousness of young people, formed taking into account the
development of their socially significant communication in the condi-tions of risks of disinformation and manipulation of
public opinion existing in the social space. In this regard, special attention is paid to the development of a strategy for the
formation of positive political views of young people in the context of the digitalization of society, as well as promising areas
for the development of political subjectivity.

in principle leaves no intra–ethnic chances of renovation, while Berdyaev, staying in the paradigm of Modernity, hopes
for the cultural and civilizational possibilities of the original Russian world that persist through historical catastrophes.
The very in-depth and fundamental rapprochement of Balmont as a poet and writer with a large-scale religious and philosophical thematic scope and Berdyaev as a religious philosopher who works more in a literary manner and the style of
emphasized expressionism is carried out here for the first time. Although the eschatological Russian studies, so obvious
in each of them, simply could not be avoided in any serious and thorough study of the heritage of each of them individually, including by the authors of this article. It is interesting that, despite the undoubted closeness of these brightest
contemporaries, two completely different and even opposite ethos appear before us. The proximity of their life worlds
only emphasizes these diverging paths from a single garden, in this case – as two paths: to the past and to the future, and
it cannot be said that one can be more significant than the other, because the future time will someday burn out in history,
as well as the time of the past will remain in its inner perfection
Classification of European Union Countries in the Context of Tax Burden: Cluster Analysis
Authors: Slezák Jiří
Published: February 2025

The tax burden affects a number of areas, including the economic and financial behavior of both legal entities and individuals. The aim of the article is to classify EU countries into groups based on selected tax burden indicators. The sample consists of 27 states of the European Union and the indicators used include direct taxes, indirect taxes, social contributions, taxes on consumption, on labor, on capital and implicit tax rate. In addition, the aim of the article is achieved through correlation and cluster analysis. Through cluster analysis, a total of 4 clusters were created for the period 2009-2021. The countries that joined the EU at the latest belong to the group of countries characterized by a lower tax burden. In contrast, most of the states that joined the EU earlier belong to the group of countries with a higher tax burden. In general, it can be said that countries also cluster on the basis of geographical or political characteristics. Through the cluster analysis, it was proven that there are significant differences between the states in the tax area and harmonization is not taking place, and there is thus further scope for tax harmonization. The contribution of the article is in the current assessment of the tax burden in EU countries and their classification according to similar tax systems for their discussion.

Authors: Defoou P.L. , Agosseme K.A. , d’Almeida A.S.
Published: February 2025

In this paper we investigate the expansion of a gas in a box in the scope of discrete kinetic theory. The box is initially at rest and half-full filled of a gas. The general four velocity discrete model of Broadwell is retained for the modelling and the resulting mild problem is solved numerically using a fractional step method. The starting motion into the empty part of the box and the behaviour at large times of the gas is studied. An equilibrium state is attained after a transitional phase where the behaviour of the macroscopic variables of the flow depend on the set of the velocities of the model. The influence of the set of the velocities of the model vanishes in the steady state.
REGULATIONS ON THE TREASURER IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF DECISIONS ON DECLARATION OF BANKRUPTCY AND SOME LEGAL ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE IMPROVED
Authors: Thanh Hoa Hoang Thi
Published: February 2025

The inclusion of the Trustee in the bankruptcy procedures for enterprises and cooperatives represents a major advancement introduced by the 2014 Bankruptcy Law, aligning Vietnam’s bankruptcy law more closely with international practices. However, after 10 years of implementing the Bankruptcy Law, many problems have arisen in practice, requiring continued research to further improve this institution. This article examines legal issues concerning the Administrator institution and challenges in applying the law in the enforcement of the court's decision on bankruptcy declaration, thereby making a number of recommendations to further improve the legal provisions related to this issue.
Japan’s Peacekeeping at a Crossroads by Hiromi Nagata, Fujishige, Yuji Uesugi and Tomoaki Honda
Authors: Muhammad Rayyan Faisal
Published: February 2025

Japan’s Peacekeeping at a Crossroads examines Japan’s evolving peacekeeping doctrine within its unique anti-militarist framework. The book traces Japan’s engagement in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKOs), highlighting its historical constraints, legal complexities, and public opposition to military deployment. The review commends the book’s structured analysis, detailing Japan’s transition from financial contributions to active troop deployment and its subsequent withdrawal from South Sudan in 2017. The authors argue that Japan’s reluctance aligns with broader Global North trends but overlook Japan’s distinctive domestic factors. While the book’s language is accessible, certain word choices introduce casualness, and its discussion of Global North-South troop contributions risks generalization. Despite these limitations, the book provides valuable insights into Japan’s peacekeeping policy, balancing international expectations with domestic constraints, and opens avenues for further research on Japan’s anti-militarist stance and developed states’ limited troop contributions to UNPKOs.

Published: February 2025

La complejidad en los movimientos de la actividad diaria que realizan las personas, origina que recurrentemente sufran de algún tipo de lesión en las extremidades (superiores/inferiores); siendo lo más común los daños en la articulación de la rodilla, afectando parcial o totalmente la movilidad. Estudios recientes indican que el empleo de dispositivos ortopédicos biomecánicos, como las órtesis, facilita la rehabilitación y acelera la recuperación de dichas lesiones. El principal objetivo del diseño de las órtesis para la rodilla es mejorar la movilidad, estabilidad y rigidez de la extremidad afectada. En este trabajo se presenta el proceso para la simulación de los movimientos de flexión y extensión de un prototipo virtual de una órtesis para rodilla, obteniendo como resultado la simulación y co-simulación entre MSC Adams® y Simulink-Matlab®. Para mostrar el proceso de simulación, se implementa un control tipo PID en el seguimiento de trayectorias del prototipo virtual de la órtesis de rodilla, utilizando un polinomio de Bézier. Los resultados muestran un buen desempeño en el seguimiento de trayectorias, obteniendo una trayectoria deseada de una flexión máxima de 2π/3 rad, con un error aproximado de 0.0124 radianes con respecto a la trayectoria deseada.
El desvanecimiento del umbral como límite entre el exterior y el interior en la obra de Rogelio Salmona
Authors: Carvajal Ronderos Edgard Mauricio
Published: February 2025

La investigación busca encontrar como el arquitecto Rogelio Salmona diluye el límite del proyecto y rompe la tradición del muro que a la vez es fachada, estructura y límite y reconoce al peatón como usuario del espacio público de la ciudad, invitándolo a participar del proyecto logrando una relación simbiótica entre lo público y lo privado. Esto lo logra eliminando los cerramientos que dan la idea de un gueto, permitiendo a los visitantes su recorrido en todas las direcciones; esta relación no tiene que ver con la escala o el uso del proyecto, aparece en conjuntos de vivienda, equipamientos o viviendas unifamiliares, de modo que se puede decir sin temor a equivocarse que Salmona trabaja para la ciudad, que entiende al peatón como su cliente y no solo a quien financia sus proyectos, aunque la mayoría de las veces tenga con diferencias con ellos o con los usuarios finales. La metodología que se empleó en la investigación consistió en analizar la forma en que Rogelio Salmona resuelve el acceso a sus proyectos, como es el cerramiento de los mismos, el trabajo de las esquinas, la localización de los edificios en el terreno y la composición de fachada; los proyectos se seleccionaron teniendo en cuenta que fueran de diferentes escalas y tuvieran diversos usos, así comprobaríamos que las operaciones corresponden a una tipología buscada y no como solución a un problema específico.
Predictors of Hearing Aid Use in the Advanced Digital Era: An Investigation of Benefit, Satisfaction, and Self-Efficacy
Authors: Jilla Anna Marie , Johnson Carole E. , Danhauer Jeffrey L. , Anderson Michael , Smith Jenna N. , Sullivan James C. , Sanchez Kristin R.
Published: February 2025

Background:Untreated sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has been linked to depression, social isolation, anxiety, and a reduction in health-related quality of life (QoL), and is independently associated with cognitive decline. Only one in five persons with SNHL pursues amplification;
76‐97% of those having hearing aids report regular or occasional use. Although hearing aid use during all waking hours is advocated for children, recommendations for adults are not as clear. Treatment outcomes, including benefit, satisfaction, and self-efficacy with hearing aids, may
be predictors of self-reported hearing aid use, which is useful in clinical practice.Purpose:The aim of this study was to determine average hours of self-reported daily hearing aid use by adults and if treatment outcome measures of benefit, satisfaction, and self-efficacy with hearing
aids can predict self-reported daily hearing aid use in adults.Research Design:The present study was a prospective cross-sectional survey with retrospective chart review.Study Sample:The study sample consisted of 152 experienced adult advanced digital technology (ADT) hearing
aid users between 18 and 90 years of age who were patients in a two-office private practice in California.Data Collection and Analysis:A postal survey was sent to 500 experienced adult ADT hearing aid users. Participants completed the Visual Analog Scale for Daily Use of Hearing Aids
(VASuse) and validated measures of (1) self-efficacy, (2) satisfaction, and (3) benefit. Retrospective data were collected for all respondents via chart review. Multivariable linear regression was used to explore relationships between treatment outcomes and hearing aid use.Results:Experienced
hearing aid users wore their hearing aids an average of 12.0 h/day. Daily hearing aid use was significantly associated with residual participation restriction (RPR) on the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOI-HA) item 5 (p = 0.02). The VASuse was significantly associated
with the IOI-HA factor 1, “Me and My Hearing Aids” (p = 0.03), an aggregate measure of satisfaction, benefit, and QoL.Conclusions:Participants reported wearing their hearing aids an average of 12.0 h/day. Self-reported daily hearing aid use was associated with a combination
of satisfaction, benefit, and increased QoL, and with RPR. The interconnectedness of satisfaction, benefit, and QoL positively affected hearing aid use, and greater levels of RPR seemed to discourage hearing aid use. If hearing aid owners are inconsistent or nonusers, then counseling and outcome
measures should be used in the domains of satisfaction, benefit, and QoL. Future research should involve additional ADT hearing aid users with different experience levels across various study sites.
