Authors: Zimmer Rachel P. , Hanchate Amresh D. , Palakshappa Deepak , Aguilar Aylin , Wiseman Kimberly , Crotts Charlotte I. , Abdelfattah Lindsay , McNeill Sheena , Sostaita Daniel , Montez Kimberly
Published: July 2023

Background

In 2021, North Carolina switched 1.6 million beneficiaries from a fee-for-service Medicaid model to a managed care system. The state prepared beneficiaries with logistical planning and a communications plan. However, the rollout occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating significant challenges. Little is known about how Medicaid Transformation impacted the experience of Medicaid en­rollees.

Methods

We conducted four focus groups (N = 22) with Medicaid beneficiaries from January to March 2022 to gain insight into their experience with Medicaid Transformation. A convenience sample was recruited. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and verified. A codebook was developed using inductive and deductive codes. Two study team members independently coded the transcripts; discrepancies were resolved among the research team. Themes were derived by their prevalence and salience within the data.

Results

We identified four major themes: 1) Participants expressed confusion about the signup process; 2) Participants had a limited understanding of their new plans; 3) Participants expressed difficulty accessing services through their plans; and 4) Participants primarily noted negative changes to their care. These findings suggest that Medicaid enrollees felt unsupported during the enrollment process and had difficulty accessing assistance to gain a better understanding of their plans and new services.

Limitations

Participants were recruited from a single institution in the Southeastern United States; results may not be transferable to other institutions. Participants were likely not representative of all Medicaid Transformation beneficiaries; only English-speaking participants were included.

Conclusion

As the transition process continues, the North Carolina Medicaid program can benefit from integrating recommendations identified by member input to guide strategies for addressing whole-person care.
Documentos tributarios electrónicos y big data económica para el control tributario y aduanero: potencial de uso de la factura electrónica de comercio: Tomo 2
Authors: Bravo Juan José
Published: July 2023

El segundo tomo de la serie Documentos tributarios electrónicos y big data económica para el control tributario y aduanero propone la implementación de la factura electrónica de comercio exterior (F-eCX) como una forma de aumentar la efectividad en la lucha contra los ilícitos más comunes en las operaciones de comercio internacional. Con el objetivo de mejorar la eficiencia en la recaudación, muchas administraciones tributarias y aduaneras (ATyA) en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) han invertido grandes esfuerzos en la modernización institucional y tecnológica de sus organizaciones. Sin embargo, los avances realizados no han sido suficientes para fomentar significativamente el cumplimiento voluntario y su impacto en la reducción de los altos niveles de evasión y fraude aduanero que se presentan en la región ha sido limitado. Una de las principales razones de la ineficiencia en la recaudación son las fallas en la integración y gestión adecuada de los procesos y controles tributarios y aduaneros. Este tomo explica cómo la F-eCX ayuda a integrar la gestión de riesgos y los procesos aduaneros y tributarios, lo que no solo favorece el control de la evasión y el fraude, sino también facilita el comercio internacional y genera beneficios para los contribuyentes al reducir los costos y la complejidad de cumplir con sus obligaciones fiscales.

Published: July 2023

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-azar) is an inherently dangerous and progressive disease that can be seen in many parts of the world, including Iran. Therefore, we decided to conduct this study on children with Kala-azar in Rasht-Iran.
Methods: In this descriptive study, the hospital records of all children with Kala-azar disease admitted to 17 Shahrivar Hospital, Rasht- Iran from 2009 to 2021 were reviewed. Required information were collected from patients' records and descriptive statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 24 statistical software.
Results: A total of 22 children with visceral leishmaniasis were admitted to 17 Shahrivar Hospital during the study period. The average age of the children was 2.93 ± 3.32 years. Most of them (59.1%) were boys and lived in the foothills (59.1%). The most common season for children to get the disease was spring (45.5%), and the average duration of the disease until hospitalization was 16.5 ± 13.54 days. In this study, the most common clinical manifestations included fever (90.9%), splenomegaly (77.3%), hepatomegaly (50%), weakness and restlessness (27.3%), and vomiting (18.2%). The most common laboratory findings were anemia (90.9%), leukopenia (59.1%), increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (75%), and increased C-reactive protein (CRP) (75%). 72.7% of the children were treated with liposomal amphotericin and others with glucantime, which were all successful.
Conclusion: The results of our studies were consistent with most studies in Iran and other countries. These findings can help in the diagnosis and management of children with Kala-azar and better control of the disease in the province.

Authors: Eslahi Aida Vafae , Sheikhdavoodi Negar , Badri Milad
Published: July 2023

Crusted scabies (CS) is an extremely contagious variant of classical scabies with substantial morbidity and mortality. It is the most prevalent in immunocompromised patients, those with some underlying diseases, and individuals with physical and mental disabilities. Herein, we report a 70-year-old woman who presented with generalized erythema with itchy hyperkeratotic plaques and crusted lesions on her face, hands, between fingers, neck, scalp, abdomen, and legs up to the knees. She was diagnosed with CS and subsequently isolated and treated with ivermectin (200 μg/kg) and 5% permethrin cream. She died a short time after being admitted, and it was due to severe septic shock and cardiac arrest. Immediate isolation and treatment of CS patients is essential to prevent morbidity and mortality. Prompt diagnosis and precise medical management in both patients and healthcare settings is required.
Correlates of Sleep Quality: A Pilot Descriptive Cross-Sectional Survey among Undergraduate Students in a Ghanaian University
Authors: Oduro Evans , Budu Isaac Hayford , Amponsah Abigail Kusi , Mawuli Abalo Emmanuel
Published: July 2023

Background and Objective: A gap exists in evidence of the association between sleep quality and the academic performance of university students in sub-Saharan Africa. A limited number of studies have been conducted in this regard, which have mainly focused on medical students, thus neglecting the larger population of undergraduate non-medical students.
Materials and Methods: This pilot study evaluated the correlates of sleep quality and the academic performance of 500 randomly sampled undergraduate non-medical students at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana. Data was collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a demographic questionnaire. The participants' demographic characteristics, academic performance, and sleep quality were first analyzed, descriptively, using SPSS software. Relationships between participants’ sleep quality and demographic factors, and sleep quality and academic performance were determined using Spearman’s rank correlation. The causation between these variables was then determined using simple linear regression.
Results: Poor quality of sleep was prevalent among undergraduate students with a mean (SD) PSQI score of 6.43 (2.78). The respondent’s sleep quality had a weak correlation with their academic performance (rs = -0.146; P = 0.001), although poor quality of sleep was a predictor of academic performance [R2 = 0.022; 95% CI (-0.640, -0.168)].
Conclusion: Health education and sleep promotion interventions should be used to encourage good sleep quality and practices among students. Furthermore, the findings point to the need for further studies using a larger population.

Authors: Shalforoushan Seyed Mohamadreza , Bagherzadeh Golmakani Zahra
Published: July 2023

Background and Objective: In previous studies, multiple interventions to improve sleep quality were suggested in students with insomnia based on different results. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of combined binaural beat treatment on improving sleep quality in students with insomnia
Materials and Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial, which included all students living in Neyshabur, Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran, in 2020. In terms of inclusion criteria, 34 students (12 women) were assigned randomly into two control (n = 17) and experimental groups (n = 17). A combined binaural beat treatment (α, θ, and δ) and sleep hygiene guidelines were given to the experimental group, but the control group only received the same sleep hygiene guidelines. Insomnia Severity Index, Sleep Hygiene Index, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were research instruments for this purpose. The results were analyzed with SPSS software.
Results: The effect of the combined binaural beats on ISI (F = 31.16, P < 0.001), sleep hygiene (F = 39.15, P < 0.001), and sleep quality (F = 14.15, P < 0.001) of students with insomnia was apparent during multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The highest and lowest effects on the total value of sleep (effect size = 0.58) and the SHI (effect size = 0.35) were achieved by combined binaural beat treatment.
Conclusion: The combined binaural beats (α, θ, and δ) improve total sleep quality, sleep hygiene, and ISI of students with insomnia. Besides, such a treatment can be utilized as a modern non-invasive intervention.

Authors:   Head of the Department of Civil Law and Procedure of the Ural Institute of Management (Branch) of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, PhD (Law), Associate Professor, Chelysheva Natalia Yu.
Published: July 2023

The latest views of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on judicial practice on compensation for moral damage reveal not only new grounds for paying compensation for physical and moral suffering to victims, but also lead to a rethinking of the content of other legal institutions, such as property, civil liability, losses, etc. From the decisions of the highest judicial bodies considered in the article, it follows that the right to compensation for moral damage arises from the victim and as a result of violation of his property rights, if such a violation caused the victim physical and moral suffering. The detailed analysis of the philosophical understanding of the categories of “property” and “alienation” given in the article suggests that in the future moral damage can be compensated by virtue of the fact of its infliction, regardless of the legality of the causal actions. The main content of the text is an analysis of the positions of the Constitutional Court of Russia and other judicial bodies in terms of the ratio of norms on the inadmissibility of forced termination of property rights and norms on the specifics of compensation for harm caused by legitimate actions.

Authors: Reddy J. Pranay , Anbanandan V. , Kumar B. Sunil , Saravanan K.
Published: July 2023

Background: In contrast to field crops, quality is often more essential than yield in vegetable crops. As a result, this research began with the objective of assessing the diversity and novelty of okra genotypes. Methods: A field investigation was carried out at Sivapuri Village, Chidambaram, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, India, in the summer of 2020-2021. To match with distinctiveness, uniformity and stability, qualitative data for 18 characters were collected based on vegetative and reproductive characters. Result: Results obtained in this study revealed a high level of variability among the genotypes for the majority of the qualitative traits, except for plant growth habit, branching position, leaf blade colour between veins, fruit type and seed size. The fruit-related characters exhibited a large diversity in the genotypes studied. Mature fruit colour was obtained with 8.3% of yellowish green, 23.3% of green and 68.4% of dark green fruits recorded for genotypes. Based on genetic variation, the ultimate objective of vegetable breeding programmes is to generate new varieties exhibiting elite combinations of many desired qualitative attributes in okra using traditional breeding procedures.

Published: July 2023

Background: In rice belts, cultivation of rice under aerobic conditions provides an alternative way to reduce the enormous amounts of water usage, by using 50 percent of the water when compared to traditional cultivation. However, micronutrient deficiencies are more common in aerobic rice during its early stages of growth. Mycorrhizal fungi were found to be efficient in mobilizing the nutrients under aerobic situations. Methods: The field experiment was conducted in Department of Agronomy, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The experiment consisted of thirteen treatments which includes different recommended doses of VAM 50, 62.5 and 75kg ha-1 along with different combinations of foliar application of 0.5% urea, 0.5% ZnSO4 and 1% FeSO4. Result: The study revealed that combined application of 150 % of recommended dose of VAM and foliar application of 0.5% urea + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 1% FeSO4 at 25 and 45 DAS significantly increased the VAM colonization area, photosynthetic pigments and growth parameters such as plant height, shoot and root weight, root growth, leaf area index and yield attributes and it was found to be a better optionin rice cultivation to overcome the micronutrient deficiencies in its earlier stages under aerobic conditions.
La Vox del populismo en Instagram: Santiago Abascal
Authors: Prestigiacomo Carla
Published: July 2023

En este artículo se analiza un corpus extraído de los posts de Santiago Abascal, secretario de Vox, publicados en Instagram durante un año. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, se trabajó de forma transversal, recurriendo a la lingüística pragmática, a la teoría de la argumentación y a su gramática, así como a los estudios sobre discurso político y a los instrumentos del análisis crítico del discurso. Después de una breve introducción sobre los elementos propios del discurso populista, se demuestra cómo el locutor adopta una amplia gama de estrategias persuasivas que forjan un discurso en el que sobresalen la autoexaltación del líder carismático y la denuncia de la fuente del mal, además del recurso a falacias y a un lenguaje emotivo (léxico valorativo, metáforas, etc.) que adquiere tonos altamente descorteses o de la llamada “Debasing Political Rhetoric”.

Chronic Poverty Report 5 - Pandemic Poverty
Authors: Shepherd Andrew , Diwakar Vidya
Published: July 2023

The Chronic Poverty Report 2023: Pandemic Poverty sets out to investigate the highly negative effects of the Covid-19 restrictions, and most importantly, the success or otherwise of the measures pursued to mitigate those effects on people in and near poverty. The leading message is that if restrictions were necessary, they should be minimised, and complemented by measures to mitigate their negative effects. During the pandemic, such measures were in most countries completely inadequate to prevent impoverishment and downward socio-economic mobility. The report makes suggestions on what needs to be done in a similar future crisis to avoid the economic and social reversals we have seen since 2020, and some steps on the road to recovery.
Correlation between the Tuffier's Line and the Spinopelvic Parameters
Authors: AKAR Ali , MALÇOK Ümit Ali
Published: July 2023

Tuffier’s line (TL) is a horizontal line that connects the two superior iliac crests and is used to determine L4 and L5 vertebrae levels. Spinopelvic parameters have been gaining further importance in the diagnosis and treatment planning of spinal diseases. This study aims to reveal whether there is an interaction between TL and spinopelvic parameters. We examined the 113 patients who consulted our clinic for low back pains. TL levels were divided into five categories as L4 body, L4 inferior endplate, L4-5 disc space, L5 superior endplate, and L5 body. In the study group, 70 of the cases (61.9%) were female, 43 (38.1%) were male, and the average age was 50.8 (21–77). TL was determined to pass through L4 body in 38.9% of cases (n=44) regardless of gender. It was observed that sacral slope (SS) and lumbar lordosis (LL) were affected by the changes in TL level (P0.05). SS and LL being affected by changes in TL levels indicates that TL should be assessed together with the spinopelvic parameters. To conclude, TL is a potential spinal parameter that should be included in the spinopelvic parameters.

Objectives: Rational antibiotic use (RAU), which is examined under the heading of rational drug use, draws an important road map in the prevention of antibiotic resistance development, which is a global problem that threatens future generations. It was aimed to evaluate the factors that determine the antibiotic use behaviors of students and the level of numeracy knowledge in health literacy, which is effective in reducing unnecessary or incorrect antibiotic use.
Methods: In the study, in which 212 students voluntarily participated, a questionnaire consisting of questions was used, in which socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to antibiotic use were examined, as well as the level of numerical knowledge in health literacy.
Results: It was found that the average age of participants was 20.33±2.50, and 53.8% were females. It was determined that 77.4% of the participants preferred to go to the doctor when they had any health problems, and the most common reason for using antibiotics was fever (51.4%). The answer given for the "disease that requires antibiotic use" question was bacterial infections with 64.6%. Participants' numeracy level in health literacy was questioned with six different questions, and their average score was determined to 8.1±2.0. It was determined that the highest numeracy knowledge level score among the departments belonged to the students of the anesthesia and first and emergency departments. Moreover, it was found that the numeracy knowledge level score in health literacy for females was higher than that of males.
Conclusion: It has been determined that students studying in health sciences have sufficient knowledge about RAU and numeracy, but they do not have an excellent level of knowledge yet despite being health students. It is believed that the regulation of the " rational antibiotic use" course, which is included in the education curriculum, will be effective in solving this problem.

Objective: Asthma attack is a critical reason for morbidity and mortality if not treated effectively at the right time. Data about the efficiency of noninvasive and invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV, IMV) in respiratory failure due to asthma attacks are scant. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between asthma-related factors, medical and NIV/IMV treatments received in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and the mortality rates and length of hospital stay, in asthma attacks.

Methods: The characteristics of patients with severe asthma treated in Hacettepe University Medical ICU for a ten-year period were analyzed from patient records retrospectively. The association between age, sex, comorbidities, asthma duration, treatment, adherence to the treatment, the effectiveness of NIV/IMV treatment if performed, and asthma attack severity, length of hospital stay, and mortality were investigated.

Results: A total of 22 patients were included in this study. In addition to medical treatment, eight (36.6%) patients received NIV, five (22.7%) received invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and five (22.7%) patients had both. Four (18.1%) patients died in the ICU. There was no significant relationship between these parameters and length of hospital stay and mortality. The relationship between baseline PaCO2, pH, and HCO3 and the difference of PaCO2, pH, and HCO3¯ changes were significant, indicating the correct and effective use of NIV/IMV.

Conclusion: NIV applications, which have been proven to be effective in hypercapnic respiratory failure, were also found to be effective in hypoxemic respiratory failure due to asthma attacks. The absence of a relationship between the investigated parameters and mortality revealed that the reasons for the mortality might be infections or comorbidities, not the respiratory tract.

Published: July 2023

Les effets de la dexaméthasone, administrée à différentes doses, sur quelques paramètres sanguins et sur la biochimie sérologique ont été étudiés chez le dromadaire. La dexaméthasone augmente la concentration de glucose dans le sérum, de même que les neutrophiles et la numération leucocytaire totale dans le sang. A l'inverse, les concentrations de potassium et de phosphore dans le sérum de la numération des lymphocytes dans le sang ont baissé sous l'effet du même traitement. Aucun changement n'a été constaté sur l'activité des CPK et des gamma-GT, sur les concentrations sérologiques de créatinine, de BUN, de bilirubine totale, de cholestérol et de sodium ni sur les valeurs de PCV, Hb, ESR, MCV et MCHC.

Les auteurs rapportent les résultats d'une étude sur les tiques et les hémoparasitoses des bovins, des ovins et des caprins de la zone sud-soudanienne. Un détiquage systématique de 40 bovins, 40 ovins et 40 caprins est effectué pendant 15 mois, dans le but de déterminer la dynamique des populations et de préciser les sites préférentiels de fixation des différentes espèces. Les espèces suivantes sont récoltées sur ces ruminants : Amblyomma variegatum, Boophilus geigyi, Hyalomma truncatum, H. m. rufipes, Rhipicephalus lunulatus, Rh. sulcatus, Rh. e. evertsi, Rh. senegalensis. Parallèlement, des études sont menées sur les hémoparasitoses, par réalisation de frottis de sang et de splénectomies. Chez les bovins, sont mis en évidence : Theileria velifera, Th. mutans, Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina, Ehrlichia bovis, et des microfilaires de Setaria labiatopapillosa. Les infections décelées chez les ovins et les caprins sont occasionnées par Anaplasma ovis, Theileria ovis, Ehrlichia ovina, Trypanosoma vivax, T. congolense. Les valeurs de l'hématocrite d'animaux adultes apparemment sains sont étudiées, de même que les variations saisonnières de ce paramètre hématologique
Pouvoir attractif de l’association M-Crésol 1-Octen-3-Ol dans un type de diffuseur pratique pour Glossina tachinoides au Burkina Faso
Authors: Filledier J. , Mérot P.
Published: July 2023

Après des études préliminaires menées sur l’attractivité de composés phénoliques dérivés des urines pour Glossina tachinoides Westwood, 1850, les recherches ont porté sur l’association de ces dérivés avec d’autres produits ; un mélange efficace est testé dans un diffuseur de longue durée permettant un emploi pratique dans le cadre d’une campagne de lutte. L’association M-Crésol l-Octen-3-01 dans un rapport de 3 pour 1, diffusée au moyen d’un tube de polyéthylène souple de 4 ml de contenance, semble répondre à cet objectif et être en mesure d’améliorer les techniques de piégeage pour une glossine du sous-genre Nemorhina. Pendant au moins 10 semaines, les captures de Glossina tachinoides sont multipliées par 2,5 avec l’emploi du piège biconique Challier-Laveissière. Le coût de ce diffuseur est de 230 francs CFA en juin 1988. Les différences avec les résultats obtenus par d’autres équipes de recherche sont discutées. L’impossibilité d’employer comme attractif, au Burkina Faso, l’urine elle-même est soulignée.
A Study on the Social Meaning of Squarish Platform Mound-shaped Embankment in the Yeongsangang River Basin
Authors:   Central Institute of Cultural Heritage, Han Ok-Min
Published: July 2023

This article examines the social meaning of squarish platform tomb in the Yeongsangang River basin, which was built from the mid-5th century to the 6th century. The author defined the absence of tomb facilities among the square platform tombs as a ‘mound-shaped embankment'. As a result of the review, there are six types. First, it's the only mound-shaped embankment that runs from the beginning to the end of the period when tombs flourished. Second, new technologies have affected accidents and even accidents, and one of the related archaeological data is the completion of the squarish platform tomb. Third, its use was also used as a tomb, and some were built as monuments. Fourth, the form is identified by a small number of circles, and the square is overwhelmingly preferred. Fifth, mound-shaped embankment is similar to a tomb in shape, size, and technology. Sixth, it coincides with the disappearance of the indicators of status by stopping the construction of the tomb and stopping the big jar-coffin at this time. From the above perspective, mound-shaped embankmen was used at all times and became a representative tomb landscape, and was popular throughout the yeongsangang River basin. Its use was mainly used as a graveyard, expressing legitimacy for power and domination, and sometimesled to the well-being of groups and social integration. However, in the case of monuments, it was found that they were made in the form of‘two-way indicators(grave+monument)’ using a certain squarish shape. The representation of the tomb on the tombstone in the form of a square can be seen as a kind of social symbolism. Externally, it was chosen as a symbolic means of justifying power and strengthening political solidarity in connection with Baekje. The study of ancient tombs is studied through materials, but studies of ancestral rites, funerals, and cemetery landscapes should also be considered. What we perceive as tombs is that we need to understand the spiritual and cultural nature contained within them. The research topic of this article, mound-shaped embankment, is also expected to take a step closer to the field of mental culture when studying from this point of view.
