Published: July 2020

Background: To investigate the effect of perceptual stress reduction control intervention on the level of symptomatic groups at different time points in breast cancer.
Methods: A total of 124 breast cancer patients were divided into intervention group and control group, 62 cases in each group. Perioperative nursing and chemotherapy nursing were given to the control group, and the intervention group was given the interventional stress reduction control intervention. The level of symptom clusters of different time points were compared between the two groups.
Results: The incidence and severity of myelosuppression in the intervention group were slightly lower than those in the control group. The adverse reactions of bone marrow suppression at T3 were much lower than those in the control group, and the differences were significant (P=0.003, P=0.043). The control group had higher incidence and more severe symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea than the intervention group (P=0.002, P=0.042). The symptoms of breast pain and swelling at T1 in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P=0.000, P=0.000). There was no significant difference in breast symptoms between the two groups at T2 and T3 (p>0.05). At the time of T2 and T3 of chemotherapy, the health promotion behavior scores of the intervention group were higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (PT2=0.000, PT3=0.000).
Conclusion: Perceptual stress reduction control intervention can effectively relieve bone marrow suppression, digestive tract discomfort and breast symptoms, and promote health promotion behavior.

Authors: WANG Qingju , DU Juan , LIU Fenglian
Published: July 2020

Background: We aimed to investigate the changes of serum adiponectin and glycated albumin (GA) levels in gestational diabetes mellitus patients and their relationship with insulin resistance.
Methods: Overall, 137 pregnant women were enrolled from Jinan City People's Hospital, Laiwu District, China from Jan 2015 to Jun 2018. Among them, 71 pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus were examined as diabetes group, and 66 normal pregnant women as normal pregnant women group. In addition, 58 normal non-pregnant women of childbearing age who were examined in our hospital during the same period were selected as a control group. The serum adiponectin and GA levels of the three groups were compared, and the relationship between serum adiponectin, GA levels and insulin resistance was analyzed.
Results: The serum adiponectin level of pregnant women in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) group was significantly lower than that of normal pregnant women and control group (P=0.031, P=0.027). The serum GA level of pregnant women in GDM group was significantly higher than that of normal pregnant women and control group (P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that GA was positively correlated with Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), Fasting insulin (FINS) and Insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) levels (P<0.001), while adiponectin was negatively correlated with FPG FINS and HOMA-IR levels (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Abnormal levels of serum GA and adiponectin are closely related to insulin resistance in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus. Detection of serum GA and adiponectin levels can diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus quickly and effectively.

Authors: YOUSEFI Elham , ROKNI Mohammad Bagher , HAZRATI TAPPEH Khosrow , MOHEBALI Mehdi , KHADEMVATAN Shahram , ZAHABIUN Farzaneh , KIA Eshrat Beigom
Published: July 2020

Background: Toxocariosis is a parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of Toxocara species from dog and cat. It has a worldwide distribution with higher prevalence in children. This study aimed to determine seroprevalence of Toxocara infection and its association with some risk factors among children of Aras Free Zone (Jolfa City) in Northwest of Iran.
Methods: Sera were collected from 514 children aged 4–12 yr old attending to some medical centers in the study area from May 2018 to Feb 2019. Anti-Toxocara IgG antibodies assay was performed using commercial ELISA kit (Nova Tec, Germany). The seropositivity rate was determined and its association with different demographic criteria and risk factors were statistically analyzed.
Results: The overall seroprevalence was 2.3% (12/514). Risk factors of children’s age group and contact with either pet animals (dog and cat) and/or soil were significantly associated with seropositivity. However, there was not any relationship between Toxocara infection and gender of children, place of residency (urban or rural) and their mothers’ education level.
Conclusion: Both girls and boys are at risk of Toxocara infection in the study area. Younger age of childhood and contact with sources of infection were important associated factors. More probably, additional criteria are involved in the initiation of infection.

Authors: Baziyad Hamed , Shirazi Saeed , Hosseini Seyedmohammadreza , Norouzi Rasoul
Published: July 2020

Background and Aim: The existence of an intellectual structure for every field is essential for managers and scholars. Intellectual structures provide a comprehensive map of knowledge that can guide researchers and managers to have a better view of their fields. Besides, with high-speed and massive amounts of data and information generation, reading and surveying of all resources are severely tricky. Intellectual maps solve this problem and make a situation for control and monitoring this voluminous and high-speed generated data. Epidemiology is regarded as one of the exciting fields which many researchers focused on it. A study of the structure and criteria of different epidemiological fields has not been done yet. Indeed, there is no serious effort for knowledge discovery of hidden information on epidemiological texts.
Methods: In this paper, in order to survey this field, an intellectual structure is provided using co-word analysis. Utilizing co-word analysis discloses relationships and structure among research subjects and topics in a field.
Results: Finally, four main clusters were determined, namely: genetic (with 30.53% of surveyed papers), illness (29.47%), modeling (23.16%), and prevention (16.84%).
Conclusion: According to epidemiology co-word network, epidemiology area has not been studied from enough different areas, especially from novel technologies.

Published: July 2020

Background & Aims: One of the challenges of multidisciplinary disciplines such as Medical Informatics, Health Information Technology, etc., especially for those who have just begun research in this field, is the lack of familiarity with some of the key terms and applications of software concepts, including frameworks.
Methods: This study is based on search of databases (ProQuest, PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, IranMedex, Irandoc, Magiran, Pars Medline and Scientific Information Database (SID)). This investigation has done with the websites and the specialized books with standard key words. After a careful study, 56 sources were selected and used in the final article.
Results: Frameworks are widely used in the field of health care and have produced valuable results. Considering the framework advantages in the health care sector among designing and estimating the systems in standard ways and comparing the systems in principle for identifying the gaps and introducing the capabilities, avoidance of reworking seem necessary. Therefore, after reviewing the literature we will explain about meaning, overlapping to the other meanings, components, steps, advantages, challenges, and the types of frameworks in general and their applications in the healthcare sector.
Conclusions: The results of this research can help the researchers for doing the new research and understand the important concepts of that, thus it can be useful in designing and researching projects for researchers and health care providers as well.
Effectiveness of Dry Cupping Therapy in the Management of Uterine Fibroid: A Case Report
Authors: Dadmehr Majid , Ayati Mohammad Hossein , Rostami Sara , Akhtari Elham
Published: July 2020

Uterine fibroid is considered as the most common pelvic tumor in women during their reproductive years. Symptomatic uterine fibroids can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, anemia, pressure symptoms and fertility issues and also have a significant influence on patient’s quality of life. These are the most common indications for hysterectomy worldwide. We report a 43-year-old woman with abnormal vaginal bleeding and dysmenorrhea due to large size of uterine leiomyoma which was candidate for myomectomy. Due to her virginity she couldn’t undergo uterine surgery. She preferred to use non-surgical treatments and presented to our traditional Persian medicine outpatient clinic. In order to control menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea, dry cupping therapy was recommended to her for three times a week. After a period of two months, dysmenorrhea and vaginal bleeding were decreased noticeably. In addition, a significant reduction in tumor size was observed. This case shows dry cupping therapy can be effective and safe in decreasing fibroid-related symptoms like dysmenorrhea and excess bleeding and also the size of fibroid. It seems that this method can be integrated with current therapeutic approaches. However, further clinical studies need to establish the efficacy and safety of dry cupping therapy for the management of uterine fibroids.

Las primeras Ovariectomias practicadas en Colombia
Authors: Sánchez Torres Fernando
Published: July 2020

La ovariectomía fue la gran operación de una gran época en la historia de la cirugía y, particularmente, de la ginecología. Aunque parece que fue ejecutada ya en el siglo XVI por un porquero suizo en su propia hija, corresponde el mérito cierto a Efraím McDowell de haber llevado a cabo técnicamente la primera operación. Fue el 13 de diciembre de 1809, en Kentucky, cuando este cirujano norteamericano operó con feliz resultado a la señora Juana Todd Crawford. En la Gran Bretaña fue Juan Lizars quien la intentó de primero en 1823, con funestas consecuencias, y más tarde Benjamín Phillips en 1840, también con pérdida de su paciente. Dos años después Walne interviene con éxito. En 1862, The Lancet compiló setenta y nueve intervenciones de este tipo realizadas en Gran Bretaña con una mortalidad de 40 por 100.

En 50 pacientes que presentaron vómito durante el embarazo el autor encontró al comienzo un estado de depresión, estado que persistió como fondo en la evolución posterior de esta complicación. El autor basado en la experiencia propia y en referencias de otros investigadores considera que la mayoría de las veces los vómitos del embarazo tienen una causa psicosomática . Por tal motivo propone que sería más acertado denominar a esta complicación "Síndrome depresivo emetizante de las embarazadas" (S. D. E.). Este enfoque psicosomático modificaría la actitud de los obstetras frente a la embarazada vomitadora y los llevaría a Investigar más ampliamente otros factores, además de los puramente orgánicos: psicológicos, sociales, culturales y conyugales. En cuanto al tratamiento lo Ideal sería la prevención por medio de una psicoprofila- xis adecuada. Como tratamiento curativo se empleó hlpnoterapla o Sofroterapla con diferentes técnicas: sugerencias postsofrónlcas, relajación sofrónlca, sofroanállsls y autosofronización. Los resultados obtenidos fueron: Buenos 40, Regulares 6, Malos 4. Este tratamiento evita recaídas y además favorece la preparación psicoprofiláctica o sofrónica para el parto.

El autor revisó algunos trabajos sobre tipos nerviosos, rasgos de carácter y temperamento. Señala la opinión de algunos sobre las dificultades para llevar a la práctica la clasificación tipológica de Pavlov. Anota que su grupo de trabajo EMES- FAO se ha interesado por el estudio de esta correlación, pues en los resultados obtenidos con la P.P.P. hay un índice alto de fracasos (20%). Aplicando el test de la figura humana (Machover) en 109 pacientes obtuvo estos resultados:rasgos normales 17%; rasgos histéricos 45%; rasgos neuróticos 28%; rasgos psicóticos 6%; virilismo 1.8%. Encontró además que las pacientes con rasgos histéricos obtienen éxito y que las pacientes con rasgos neuróticos dan fracasos. Por la alta frecuencia de rasgos histéricos concluye que sería preferible emplear Sofronlzación únicamente o como complemento de la P.P.P. Comprueba esto con 2 experiencias: 1? en 320 pacientes de P. P.P. sofronizadas en grupos pequeños solo hubo fracasos en el 13%. 2? en 116 pacientes privadas que también seguían la P.P.P. el autor agregó sofronlzación Individual y obtuvo un 11.20% de fracasos. Finalmente por medio del "cuestionarlo Berger se estudiaron 22 embarazadas que seguían la P.P.P. y se concluyó que pacientes con "temperamento apasionado" obtienen éxito con mayor probabilidad. Los resultados se analizaron por medio del "Indice de Contingencia". Estos resultados no son más que un leve Indicio porque la muestra fué demasiado pequeña y porque faltó la observación de otros factores como conflictos Individuales y otros que pueden ejercer gran Influencia en el éxito o en el fracaso y que escapan al campo de medida del test.

Solving the Problem of the Optimal Control System General Synthesis Based on Approximation of a Set of Extremals using the Symbol Regression Method
Authors: Konstantinov S.V. , Diveev A.I.
Published: July 2020

A new approach is considered to solving the problem of synthesizing an optimal control system based on the extremals' set approximation. At the first stage, the optimal control problem for various initial states out of a given domain is being numerically sold. Evolutionary algorithms are used to solve the optimal control problem numerically. At the second stage, the problem of approximating the found set of extremals by the method of symbolic regression is solved. Approach considered in the work makes it possible to eliminate the main drawback of the known approach to solving the control synthesis problem using the symbolic regression method, which consists in the fact that the genetic algorithm used in solving the synthesis problem does not provide information about proximity of the found solution to the optimal one. Here, control function is built on the basis of a set of extremals; therefore, any particular solution should be close to the optimal trajectory. Computational experiment is presented for solving the applied problem of synthesizing the four-wheel robot optimal control system in the presence of phase constraints. It is experimentally demonstrated that the synthesized control function makes it possible for any initial state from a given domain to obtain trajectories close to optimal in the quality functional. Initial states were considered during the experiment, both included in the approximating set of optimal trajectories and others from the same given domain. Approximation of the extremals set was carried out by the network operator method
Models of Multiple Events in the Analysis of Subsequent Registrations in the Labour Office
Authors: Bieszk-Stolorz Beata
Published: July 2020

In many fields of science, it is necessary to analyse recurrent events. In medical science, the problem is to assess the risk of chronic disease recurrence. In economic and social sciences, it is possible to analyse the time of entering and leaving the sphere of poverty, the time of subsequent guarantee or insurance claims, as well as the time of subsequent periods of unemployment. In these studies, there are different ways of defining risk intervals, i.e. the time frame over which an event is at risk (or likely to occur) for an entity. Research on registered unemployment in Poland shows a high percentage of people returning to the labour office and registering again. The aim of the article is assessment of the risk of subsequent registrations in the labour office depending on selected characteristics of the unemployed: gender, age, education, and seniority. In the study, methods of survival analysis were used. The results obtained for four models being an extension of the Cox proportional hazard model were compared. The Anderson‑Gil model does not distinguish between first and next events. The number of events that occurred is important. Two Prentince‑Williams‑Peterson conditional models and the Wei, Lin and Weissfeld models are based on the Cox stratified model. The strata are consecutive events. They differ in the way risk intervals are determined. In the analysed period, only age and education influenced the risk of multiple registrations at the Poviat Labour Office in Szczecin. Gender and seniority did not have a significant impact on this risk. The analysis performed for subsequent registrations confirmed the impact of the same features on the first subsequent registration. In general, it can be stated that the analysed characteristics of the unemployed did not have a significant impact on the second and subsequent returns to the labour office.

The purpose of this study is to determine the suitability of the presentation of the An-Nahl Pandaan KPRS financial statements to Syaria FAS. This research uses descriptive qualitative research in which the purpose is to describe and illustrate the application of Sharia Financial Accounting Standards in terms of the financial statements prepared by KPRS An-Nahl Pandaan. The techniques used in data collection are through observation, interviews, documentation, and online data search techniques. The results of the analysis and discussion of this study indicate that most of the financial statement presentations in KPRS An-Nahl are in accordance with Sharia FAS even though only the entity only reports the financial position (Balance Sheet). From the An-Nahl KPRS financial report that looks very prominent the discrepancy is that An-Nahl KPRS does not make the six other financial report components listed in the Sharia FAS because the KPRS An-Nahl management itself does not yet understand how to prepare financial reports in accordance with applicable standards.

Conceptualizing Ethnicity: How Dimensions of Ethnicity Affect Disparities in Health Outcomes Among Latinxs in the United States
Authors: Laster Pirtle Whitney N. , Valdez Zulema , Daniels Kathryn P. , Duenas Maria D. , Castro Denise
Published: July 2020

Background: This study considers how attributional and relational dimensions of ethnicity affect Latinxs’ health outcomes.Methods: Using regression methods to ana­lyze data from the 2006 Portraits of American Life Study, we examined how attributional and relational dimensions of ethnicity affect: 1) intragroup differences in Latinx mental and physical health status, as measured by feelings of worthlessness and self-rated health, respectively; and 2) intergroup dif­ferences between Latinxs and non-Hispanic Whites in these health outcomes.Results: Latinxs have higher odds of feelings of worthlessness and lower odds of self-reporting good/excellent health compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Additionally, in­tragroup differences in health are observed among Latinxs, conditioned on attributional or relational dimensions of ethnicity.Conclusion: Multidimensional measures of ethnicity that distinguish between charac­teristics associated with ethnicity (attribu­tional) or race (relational) offer a nuanced explanation of health disparities by revealing aspects of ethnicity that shape health out­comes differently, contributing to the goals of health equity.Ethn Dis. 2020;30(3):489-500; doi:10.18865/ed.30.3.489
Decomposition of the Financial Capability Construct: A Structural Model of Debt Knowledge, Skills, Confidence, Attitudes, and Behavior
Authors: Białowolski Piotr , Cwynar Andrzej , Cwynar Wiktor
Published: July 2020

Based on a nationally representative sample of adult Poles (N= 1,004), we examined structural relationships between financial knowledge, skills, confidence, attitudes, and behavior in debt-domain. We found that financial confidence—at least regarding debt-related issues—is tied to debt attitudes and behavior beyond the extent to which the attitudes and behaviors are linked to objective debt knowledge. Moreover, the relationship between objective knowledge and confidence turned out to be insignificant in our study. These findings suggest that confidence should be used as a separate marker of financial capability. Having established that skills correlate with behavior and attitudes differently than objective knowledge, we argue also to include them separately in financial capability measurements.

AbstractDetermining the ripeness levels of avocados is still having difficulties because the fruit does not change color when ripe. Smart labels based on color indicators of ammonium molybdate with potassium permanganate can be used to detect the maturity of avocados by detecting ethylene gas (C2H4) produced during the ripening process. This study aims to examine the physiological and physicochemical changes that occur in avocados during the ripening process, design packaging of color indicator labels to determine the level of maturity of avocados and changes in color indicators to the maturity level of avocados. Parameters measured were respiration rate and ethylene production, hardness, total dissolved solids and color change. The data obtained were tested using ANOVA and  Duncan's further test to obtain the best treatment. The best performance was obtained from label composed by 2 grams ammonium molibdat and 3 grams potassium permanganate because it has a good and even color gradation response to different level of ripeness by detecting the presence of ethylene in packaging.AbstrakPenentuan kematangan buah alpukat masih mengalami kesulitan karena buah tidak mengalami perubahan warna saat matang.

Artificial drying method for arabica coffee beans requires a large consumption of electrical energy. Electricity is needed to rotate the blower which functions to circulate hot air to the dryer so that it can evaporate some of the water contained in the coffee beans. Most of the arabica coffee producing areas in Aceh province have not been reached by the electricity network so the use of artificial dryers cannot be used. To overcome this obstacle, the air flow circulation system with chimney effect can be used to drain dry air. The aim of this research is to design a chimney effect hybrid dryer which is heat source from solar and biomass energy, to test the performance of the dryer and compare it with the sun drying method. Parameters observed were temperature, moisture content and specific energy consumption of solar radiation and biomass. Dryer capacity is 5 kg of arabica coffee beans. The results showed that the chimney effect hybrid dryer can be used to dry 5 kg of coffee beans. The drying show that drying temperature on the dryer chamber ranged between 37.3-60.9°C. To reduce the moisture content of coffee beans from 52.5 to 12.8% bb, it was take 16-17 hours, while the sun drying method takes up to 46 hours (6 days). The total specific energy consumption of hybrid dryer was 57.1 MJ/kg of water vapor, while the specific energy consumption of the drying method was 59.4 MJ/kg of water vapor.

The factors that affect the level of profitability in this study are the cost of production, production, sales and profits. This research discusses how to compare the profitability of organic and inorganic rice farming. The analysis was conducted on 13 samples of organic rice farmers and 30 samples of inorganic farmers domiciled in Lombok Kulon Village, Bondowoso Regency. This study uses two types of profitability, namely Net Profit Margin (NPM) and Return On Capital Employed (ROCE). The test uses the Independent sample t-test and the Mann Whitney Test, depending on the results of the normality test data. The test results show that there are differences in the level of profitability of organic rice farming and inorganic rice farming. The test results with the statistical difference test also showed that there were significant differences in the comparison of the profitability levels in the two agricultural systems. Thus it can be concluded that there are significant differences in the level of profitability of Net Profit Margin (NPM) and Return On Capital Employed (ROCE) in organic and inorganic rice farming systems.

Cassava is one of the most important food commodities besides rice and corn. Carvita 25 is a somaclonal variation that was induced from Adira IV cassava variety. Our study aimed to analyze the genetic differences of Carvita 25 compared to Adira IV by using SSR markers. Two cassava varieties, Carvita 25 and Adira IV, were used as plant materials and eleven SSRY primers were used to amplifythe fragments of cassava DNA. The results showed that SSRY 151 primer produced the highest polymorphic band (85.71%) where 6 out of 7 alels were polymoprphics with the length size from 120 to 600 bp. Of the total 56 of polymorphic bands, 26 alels were previously present in Adira IV but then it can not be found in Carvita 25, while 30 other bands were new fragments that were previously not present in Adira IV but then were present in Carvita 25. These genetic differencesof both Adira IV and Carvita 25 were also strengthened by the Jacard similarity value. The Jaccard similarity between Carvita 25 and Adira IV were 0.40-0.50, while the similarity between plants of Carvita 25 were 0.79-0.87, and in plants of Adira IV were 0.98- 1.These values showed thewide genetic difference between Adira IV and a somaclonal variation of Carvita 25.Keywords: cassava, Carvita 25, polymorphic, somaclonal variation, SSR Marker.

Published: July 2020

As emerging democracy, Indonesia is facing a formidable challenge from its Parliament whose capacity in conducting Post-Legislative Scrutiny is weak; this could prevent the country from fulfilling democratic consolidation. The country’s failure in fulfilling its democratic consolidation two decades after Soeharto’s resignation can bring it back to the authoritarian era as it has experienced only two years after the first 1955 democratic election until 1998. Applying an empirical research by directly observing PLS in the Indonesian parliament and using a qualitative method of analysis, this essay discussed the causes and repercussions of the parliament’s poor capability, which have brought the country into current setback, facing resistances from the old establishment that has made the military unable to continue reform and to change its political culture. Therefore, the Indonesian military still wants to involve in civilian affairs and businesses by making a more flexible interpretation of Military Operations Other Than War, on the one side. While, on the other, TNI’s existing culture of violence has led it to many alleged cases of gross human rights violations which could not be prosecuted until recently. In fact, Indonesian Members of Parliament’s poor capability and DPR’s weak supporting system give more complexity to the country in its struggle and success to be the third biggest democracy in the world.
The Right to Health in Evidence-based Policymaking

The right to health is included in United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) number 3, “Good health and well-being”. This goal aims to ensure healthy life and to promote well-being for all, at all ages. The SDGs, which build on the Millennial Development Goals (MDGs), provide a significant expansion to the development agenda. Inclusive development is part and parcel of the SDGs. Evidence-based policymaking studies provide explanations of normative and legitimate expectations for policymakers, namely, to use scientific evidence and specific indicators in their policymaking process. The right to health, as constructed, in evidence-based policymaking discourse is in contention. This paper addresses the various types of meaning Indonesian policymakers attach to the right to health through their discourses in norms of health policy. This study provides an analysis of discourses, regulatory analysis, and historical narratives (based on analysis of health regulations and newspaper articles) pertaining to evidence-informed policy in the health sector in Indonesia from 2009-2017. Our findings elucidate how the right to health manifests in the processes of evidence-based policymaking. We do so by way of a two-pronged analysis, i) discourse analysis at the macro level in Indonesia about the right to health as a norm and ii) health policymaking at the micro level, in the Indonesian district of Gunungkidul,within the region of Yogyakarta.
The Legislators’ Engagement in Policy-making and Post-legislative Scrutiny in Nepal Since 1991

Parliament enacts legislation and has a role to evaluate the implementation of legislation in meeting the intended outcomes. Post-legislative scrutiny (PLS) identifies defective legislation and rectifies it. As such, it contributes to better legislation and implementation of legislation objectives. However, this requires a strong commitment by the parliamentarians in the legislation process and policymaking. Along with a range of structural factors, including lack of expertise and experience and time constraints, the main reasons for the ineffective post-legislative review in Nepal stem from the Member of Parliaments’ (MPs) shallow engagement in policy-making and legislative review processes and stronger focus on expanding expenditure related to building roads, schools, and other vital infrastructure. For example, the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) provided to MPs has been continuously increased in consecutive elections since 1991. MPs appear to prioritize the political benefits of engaging with their electorate on funding and development projects, over their role in reviewing or scrutinizing legislation. This paper argues that the shallow engagement of MPs in the policy-making process and ineffective post-legislative review has resulted in not only defective and unsustainable policies but also defective legislation. This has created problems in the rule of law and accountability. This paper largely draws from reviewing contributions of delegated legislation committee for rule of law, evaluates the implementation of the committee recommendations in improving legislation and analyse the effects of noncompliance of committees’ recommendations in people’s justice.
