Published: April 2021

Экспериментально исследована токонесущая способность коммерческих высокотемпературных сверхпроводящих REBCO-лент второго поколения шириной 12 mm без стабилизирующего медного покрытия (ВТСП лент) в жидком гелии при скоростях ввода тока до 350 kA/s. В экспериментах образцы лент в виде колец со спаями размещались в рабочем объеме сверхпроводящего магнита при 4.2 K. Ток в образцах индуцировался трансформаторным способом. В процессе повышения скорости ввода тока в образцах-кольцах было обнаружено появление одиночных механических дефектов сверхпроводящего слоя в области спаев, вызывающее преждевременные переходы образцов в нормальное состояние. В результате максимально достигнутые токи в образцах-кольцах оказались до 50% ниже критических токов коротких образцов ВТСП лент при 4.2 K. В заключении приводится анализ результатов эксперимента. Даны возможные объяснения наблюдаемого эффекта. Кроме этого, исследована термомагнитная стабильность двух одинарных галет из пяти изолированных витков, намотанных из REBCO-лент разных производителей. Скачки магнитного потока не были обнаружены вплоть до скоростей изменения внешнего магнитного поля 1.7 T/s. Ключевые слова: сверхпроводимость, высокотемпературные сверхпроводники, ВТСП ленты второго поколения, REBCO-ленты, критический ток, термомагнитная стабильность, скачок магнитного потока.
Evaluating the effectiveness of patient education and the feasibility of health technology (eHealth interventions) in improving sleep quality and blood pressure secondary to greater adherence to continuous positive airway pressure ventilation in persons with obstructive sleep apnoea: A literature review (Preprint)
Authors: El Arab Rabie Adel Abdel-Kar
Published: April 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

Obstructive sleep apnoea is a highly burdensome condition that predominantly affects adults and not only impairs daily functioning but also confers a heightened risk of adverse cardiovascular health, particularly among those who are poorly compliant with continuous positive airway pressure ventilation therapy. In the growing era of high population demand and rising complexity, greater efforts are needed at the individual level if outcomes are to improve in the future. Therefore, this literature review sought to explore the effect of patient education upon sleep quality and blood pressure as secondary effects of CPAP adherence in adults. A search for relevant literature was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane library. Articles were restricted to peer-review, English language and publication in the last 10 years. Articles were appraised using CASP, relevant data was extracted using systematic proformas and the outcomes were analysed using descriptive analysis and narrative synthesis. Nine studies were included in the first analysis where there was a highly significant association between education provision and CPAP adherence (MD=1.19 hours/night, Z=3.67, p=0.0002), than compared to usual care. The second analysis was informed from five studies and this showed a positive association between education and sleep quality, but the effect was marginally insignificant (MD=0.54, Z=1.89, p=0.06), than compared to usual care. Both analyses were not affected by inter-study heterogeneity (both p<0.01). Overall, this review showed that the provision of education with moderate to high intensity provides meaningful effects upon CPAP adherence and sleep quality. Narrative findings also revealed improvements in blood pressure and other health outcomes, which are supported by previous studies. Despite some limitations, care providers should be proactivity in education provision using a continuous approach through the disease course as this is likely to lead to improvements in outcomes. Finally, future research is needed in the form of a high-quality randomised trial to help explore the effects of education delivered through eHealth mediums.
SD-Prime cordial labeling of alternate k-polygonal snake of various types
Authors: Prajapati U. M. , Vantiya Anit
Published: April 2021

Let f : V (G) → {1, 2,..., |V (G)|} be a bijection, and let us denote S = f(u) + f(v) and D = |f(u) − f(v)| for every edge uv in E(G). Let f' be the induced edge labeling, induced by the vertex labeling f, defined as f' : E(G) → {0, 1} such that for any edge uv in E(G), f' (uv)=1 if gcd(S, D)=1, and f' (uv)=0 otherwise. Let ef' (0) and ef' (1) be the number of edges labeled with 0 and 1 respectively. f is SD-prime cordial labeling if |ef' (0) − ef' (1)| ≤ 1 and G is SD-prime cordial graph if it admits SD-prime cordial labeling. In this paper, we have discussed the SD-prime cordial labeling of alternate k-polygonal snake graphs of type-1, type-2 and type-3.

Authors: Matveev A. V. , Krasheninnikov A. E. , Egorova E. A. , Konyaeva E. I.
Published: April 2021

The antiretroviral therapy is a lifelong use of a combination of three or more antiretroviral drugs (ARVDs). One of the factors contributing to a significant decrease in patients’ adherence to treatment is the high toxicity of ARVs.

The aim of the study is to study the safety of antiretroviral drugs retrospectively and based on spontaneous reports about adverse drug reactions (ADRs) inputted in the ARCADe database.

Materials and method. The objects of our research were the 649 spontaneous messages about ARVDs recorded in the regional electronic database (register) of spontaneous messages for period 01 January 2009 — 31 December 2018.

Results. Most often, ADR were registered with the use of combined ARVD and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Zidovudine and Efavirenz were the leaders in terms of the incidence of ARV ADR. Among the combined anti-HIV drugs, the most frequently ADR were associated with the use of a Lamivudine and Zidovudine combination.

Conclusion. Long-term use of ARVs requires regular monitoring of adverse reactions, which will improve the quality of life of patients with HIV infection and significantly increase their compliance with antiretroviral pharmacotherapy.

Published: April 2021

There is concern that the widespread use of antiretroviral drugs (ARV) to treat human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection may result in the emergence of transmission of drug-resistant virus among persons newly infected with HIV-1. Russia is one of a growing number of countries in the world where drug-resistant HIV is becoming a serious health problem because it has the potential to compromise the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the population level.

Materials and methods.We performed a genetic analysis of the HIV-1 plasma derived pol gene among the newly diagnosed ART-naïve HIV-1 infected patients during the period from November 2018 to October 2019 in the St. Petersburg Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital named after S.P. Botkin. We used reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by direct sequencing of PCR products to determine the prevalence of primary drug resistance (PDR) conferring mutations. HIV-1 genotypes were determined by phylogenetic analysis.

Results.The predominant HIV-1 subtype was A1 (87.2%), followed by B (11.8%) and CRF06_cpx (1%). The overall prevalence of PDR was 11%. Virus with known resistance-conferring mutations to any nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) was found in 8 individuals, to any non NRTIs in 5 subjects, and to any protease inhibitors in 1 case. Multidrug-resistant virus was identified in 2 individuals (2%).

Conclusion.The distribution of HIV-1 genotypes in St. Petersburg, Russia is diverse. The emerging prevalence of PDR in ART-naïve patients demonstrates the significance of constant monitoring due to the challenges it presents towards treatment.

Published: April 2021

The objective: to study the state of intestinal microflora in patients with cirrhosis of the liver of viral etiology and pathogenetic substantiate therapeutic measures taking into account the severity of the disease, the period of therapy.

Materials and research methods. This study was conducted on the basis of the clinic RIEMID MH RUz in the department of chronic viral hepatitis. To achieve this goal and solve problems, we examined 35 patients with a diagnosis of CP of viral etiology (all patients were with a delta agent), the average age of the patients was 38±9,7 years. Men 20 (57%), women 15 (43%). Groups of patients were selected by random sampling as they were admitted to the hospital.

Results and discussion. Summarizing the data obtained, it should be emphasized that in patients with CP of viral etiology, the progression of the disease is accompanied by the parallel progression of a violation of microbiocenosis. The formation of dysbiosis and aggravation of the degree of dysbiosis is directly dependent on the amount of concomitant pathology. That is, the more concomitant pathology, the higher the likelihood of the formation of intestinal dysbiosis. During a clinical examination, intestinal dysbiosis was found in all 35 (100%) patients.

Conclusions. Cirrhosis of the liver is accompanied by functional changes in the colon, which increase as the class of cirrhosis increases. The use of the probiotic Bactrimsubtil normalized the intestinal microflora in patients with LC, helping to reduce the manifestation of a number of clinical symptoms.

Published: April 2021

The article shows the role of the Nizhny Novgorod Fair as the most important point of the Russo-Persian trade in the second half of the 19th - early 20th century. The problem of transportation of goods from Persia to Nizhny Novgorod and in the opposite direction is also considered. This research is based on the body of documents stored in the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire and introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. On the base of them the authors show the inefficiency of activity of the Caucasus and Mercury Company, which actually monopolized the goods transportation across the Caspian Sea during the revised period. The extremely low speed of delivery of Russian goods purchased by Persian merchants at the Nizhny Novgorod Fair damaged not only private merchants commerce, involved in Russian-Persian trade, but also inevitably entailed a decrease in the overall trade between the two states.

The domestic and foreign policy of the Canadian Liberals under Justin Trudeau in 2015-2020: achievements and challenges
Authors: Komarov Andrey Nikolaevich
Published: April 2021

The key idea of this article is that, for the first time, on the example of the domestic and foreign policy of the Canadian Liberals, led by Justin Trudeau, we discuss the problems and prospects of Canadian Liberalism. The recent defeat of the Conservative Party of Canada in the 2019 parliamentary elections gave the impression that only the Liberal Party contributes to the prosperity of the modern Canadian state. The closest attention to the activities of the Liberal Party allows us to identify its absolute advantages and corresponding shortcomings. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to analyze and investigate both the indisputable advantages and current shortcomings of the Liberal Party in power, and against this background to determine the effectiveness, or vice versa, the incompetence of Canadian liberalism as a political ideology. At the same time, according to the author, it is necessary to separate objective and subjective factors associated with the presence of liberals in power. The objective ones are related to how the Liberals program settings meet the needs of the time, while the subjective ones characterize how an individual, and, above all, the party leader, implements the partys requests and the electorates hopes. In this regard, the reputation of its leader is of crucial importance. On the basis of the considered source base, and, first of all, the electoral programs of Liberals under Trudeau, since coming to power in 2015. In the first part of the article, the author presents a comparative analysis of the results of the liberals in the parliamentary elections in 2015 and 2019, explaining the reasons for the victory of the latter, and obtaining, respectively, a parliamentary majority, and then a minority. The second part of the article is devoted directly to the aspects of the domestic and foreign policy of the Liberals in 2015-2020. The author comes to the conclusion that the Canadian liberalism, implemented by Justin Trudeau is currently the leading political ideology that unites a significant part of the electorate.

This research focused on the spread of aesthetic discourse in Islamic literature, especially Islamic Indonesian children’s literature which was marginalised in Indonesian literature history. The paper aimed to identify the system of exclusion or prohibition, restrictions to discourse and genealogical aesthetics of Islamic children’s literature. The data utilised were various discourses available in Indonesian literature, aesthetics in the history of the literature mentioned, Indonesian literary experts and critics’ opinions, and different information related to the topic. Data interpretation was executed based on the strategy introduced by Michel Foucault on discourse and power. Results showed that the discourse of Islamic literary aesthetics was deliberately eliminated during the New Order era because it was believed to be a part of the right-wing political power apparatus. That exclusion was carried out with restrictions and prohibitions by highlighting the aesthetics of development and modernity as the dominant aesthetic discourse in Indonesian literature, such as universal humanism. The history of aesthetic discourse in Islamic literature, including Islamic children’s literature, appeared significantly during the Post-Reformation era due to the New Order’s collapse. Hence aesthetic discourses that emerged afterwards were highly diverse and on par with other genres. Keywords: Islamic literary aesthetic discourse, children’s literature, Indonesian literary history.

Audiobooks are one of the many mediums for the delivery of literary works in the digital age. However, audiobooks have existed since 1931. For example, the American Foundation for the Blind and the Library of Congress would provide audiobook-based programmes for the visually impaired. The use of this particular medium in Malay literature is still not considered widespread. After that, audiobooks started to flourish in the field of early childhood education and currently, there is a publishing company that produces audiobooks in Malaysia. However, its existence and evolution in literature are not widely known than to literary works delivered through other new media. This study, funded by the faculty grant GPF006K-2018, examined the various forms of literary audiobooks published by the company Nusantara as a means to provide alternative reading material in Malaysia. This study aimed to identify and discuss the history and development of literary audiobooks in Malaysia to highlight their form and importance in the digital era. This study utilised text analysis to examine past research on audiobooks and analysed various literary audiobooks available in the market. Additionally, interviews were conducted with different publishers to get their feedback regarding the general acceptance of such material amongst their customers. Findings showed that Nusantara Audiobooks actively publishes literary audiobooks, be it from Malaysia or Indonesia. In conclusion, these digital materials in the market would diversify reading methods and analyse literary works. Keywords: audiobooks, Malay literature, digital, alternative, evolution
KUPASAN ARTIKEL ‘MALAYSIA: THE 2020 PUTSCH FOR MALAY ISLAM SUPREMACY’
Authors: Idris Asmady , Salleh Asri , Mohd Yaakop Mohd Rizal
Published: April 2021

The 2018 General Election (PRU) marked a significant point in the history of Malaysian politics when the major opposition bloc Pakatan Harapan (PH) ended Barisan Nasional (BN) rule of 60 years since gaining independence in 1957. However, the PH government, led by ex-premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, only lasted 22 months. Accordingly, the sudden collapse of the PH government drew many to offer their respective analyses. James Chin (2020) wrote one of them titled ‘Malaysia: The 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy’. He argued that, amongst the many reasons attributable to its sudden collapse, one stood out – the position of Islam and Malay supremacy in Malaysia. Since Malaysia is predominantly a Malay-Muslim country, such a profound claim warrants a thorough response. Thus, this study’s objective is to analyse and offer critiques on Chin’s work based on the three main factors, namely the concept of Malay supremacy, unreadiness of Malays to share power with non-Malays and the position of non-Malays in the top government positions. This study utilised documentary analysis to uplift the discussion to fit the social contract concept and the Federal Constitution and strike a balance between extremist and utopian ideas that best suit Malaysia’s political development reality. The study’s main findings can be narrowed down to show the actual picture of Malaysian political genesis’ uniqueness based on its own identity, which constantly rejuvenates and evolves across time and space. Keywords: General Election 2018, Pakatan Harapan, Islam, Malay supremacy, Malaysian political genesis.

Over the past decades, there has been a trend towards privatisation in Europe. However, surprisingly little has been published in the finance literature on the industry effects of privatisation on non-financial firms’ capital structure. Talberg, Winge, Frydenberg, and Westgaard (2008) demonstrate that capital structures are industry-specific, and the literature on privatisation and leverage claims both a positive and a negative effect. Using a large sample of privatised firms in Europe, this paper analyses the impact of privatisation on firms’ capital structure. Our results provide no evidence that privatisation impacts firms’ capital structure. Instead, the level of leverage remains largely the same a few years after privatisation. These results remain unchanged even after controlling for certain characteristics, such as the type (asset sale or share issue) of privatisation and the percentage of privatisation. However, additional tests reveal that industry specificities are relevant in explaining capital structure variations following privatisation. When considering industry-specific characteristics, we found substantial statistical evidence that firms in capital-intensive industries experience a greater leverage level after being privatised. Our findings also suggest that governments may optimise privatisation processes after considering what capital-intensive firms may require in terms of funding long-term assets.

Levee breach-induced flooding occurs occasionally but always causes
considerable losses. A serious flood event occurred due to the collapse
of a 15-m-long levee section in Qianbujing Creek, Shanghai, China,
during typhoon “Fitow” in Oct, 2013. Heavy rainfall associated with
the typhoon intensified the flood extent. This study investigates the
flood evolution to understand the dynamic nature of flooding and the
compound effect using a well-established 2D hydro-inundation model
(Floodmap) to reconstruct this typical event. Our simulation results
provide a comprehensive view of the spatial patterns of the flood
evolution. The worst-hit areas are predicted to be low-lying farmland.
Temporal evaluations suggest that the most critical time for flooding
prevention is in the early hours after dike failure. In low-elevation
areas, temporary drainage measures and flood defenses are equally
important. The validation of the model demonstrates the reliability of
the approach.

Background: Many treatments for COVID-19 are currently under studying,
such as combination therapies with hydroxychloroquine plus antiviral
drugs. In this study, we compared the efficacy and side effects of two
types of combination therapy including atazanavir /ritonavir (ATV/r) or
lopinavir /ritonavir (LPV/r) plus hydroxychloroquine among COVID-19
patients. Methods: In a non-randomized clinical trial, 108 eligible
patients with moderate and severe form of COVID-19 were divided into two
groups. Each group consisted of 54 patients. One group received ATV/r
plus hydroxychloroquine and the other group received hydroxychloroquine
plus LPV/r. Then, the two groups were evaluated and compared for
clinical symptoms, recovery rates and complications of treatment
regimens. Results: The findings of this research showed a significant
increase in bilirubin in ATV/r receiving group compared to LPV/r
receivers (p<0.001). there was also a significant increase in
arrhythmias in the LPV/r group compared to ATV/r group during the
treatment period (p=0.019). Other findings including length of hospital
stay, outcome, and treatment complications were not statistically
significant. Conclusions: There is not statistically significant
difference between protease inhibitor drugs including ATV/r and LPV/r in
the treatment of COVID-19 regarding to progress and clinical outcomes.
However, some side effects such as hyperbilirubinemia and arrhythmia was
significantly different by application of atazanavir or lopinavir.

Introduction: The covid-19 disease is a pandemic threat for humanity’s
healthcare system, social, economic, and psychological well-being for
both developed and developing nations. In the case of developing nations
such as the resource of Ethiopia, however, the key obstacle is to buy
the vaccine and administer it to their people.. In the study area,
however, the degree of adherence to the covid-19 preventive measure was
not well established. The aim of this study is to determine adherence to
covid-19 prevention measures in Hossana town. Methods: From 3 to 29
January 2021, a community-based cross-sectional study was conducted
among individuals living in the Hosanna town. We used a sample size of
384. The sample size was distributed to all 8 kebeles in proportion to
the size of the households contained in each kebele in the town of
Hossana. Systematic sampling methods were used and both descriptive and
advanced analysis, data was entered into Epi-data and exported to SPSS.
Binary logistic regression was used to identify variables associated
with adherence to preventive measures for covid-19. Result: 50.4% of
the study participants had good adherence with the COVID-19 preventive
measures. 145 (38.5%) of all respondents had poor knowledge on COVID-19
preventive measures and 40.3 % had poor COVID-19 transmission methods
knowledge. Age [AOR: 0.34; 95 % CI (0.131-0.912)], educational
status [AOR: 0.32; 95% CI (0.165-0.632)], marital status [AOR: 2;
% CI (1.191-3.803)], family size [AOR: 2.4; % CI
(1.322-4.366)]] and covid-19 complication [AOR: 0.49: 95% CI
(0.242-0.979)]] were significantly associated with covid-19
prevention measurement adherence in multivariate analysis. Conclusion:
This study found that approximately half of the participants had poor
adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures. Factors associated with
covid-19 preventive measures were age, educational age, marital status,
family size, and heard about complication of COVID-19 were associated
with preventive measures.
The effect of planned training given to women with preeclamptic pregnancy on oxidative stress and anxiety levels: non-randomised controlled-study

This study aimed to studying the effects of planned training given to
women with preeclamptic pregnancy on stress-anxiety and oxidative stress
levels. A non-randomised controlled-study study, carried out in
Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinics of Research and Application Hospital
of one university. In the study, 28 preeclamptic patients matching the
sampling criteria were taken as the experimental group and 22 other
preeclamptic patients who also match the sampling criteria constituted
the control group. Questionnaire, scale application and laboratory
evaluation for the control group were performed only once. In the
experimental group, there is a statistically significant difference
between the TAS (mmol trolox equ./L) (t = -9.71 P = 0.00) and the TOS
(lmol H2O2 equ./L) (t = 6.56 P = 0.00) measurements before and after the
training and there is a statistically significant difference between the
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (t = 3.64 P = 0.00) before and after the
training. It has been determined in the study that the planned training
given to the pregnant women who received a diagnosis of preeclampsia has
decreased their oxidative stress levels and state anxiety levels.
Prevalence of clinically relevant drug-drug interactions in Cardiac Intensive Care Units in tertiary care hospitals in the United States and Pakistan
Authors: Shakeel Faisal , Hertz Daniel

Objective To determine the prevalence of clinically relevant drug-drug
interactions in an intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital in
the United States and to compare to an intensive care unit at a
Pakistani hospital, which lacks electronic medical record-based
drug-drug interaction screening. Study setting A retrospective
cross-sectional analysis was conducted in the cardiovascular intensive
care unit (CVICU) at Michigan Medicine (MM), Ann Arbor, MI, USA between
Jan 2018 – Jan 2019. Study Design Analysis of 300 MM patients was
conducted to identify drug-drug interactions using Micromedex® and
Lexicomp®. Descriptive statistics and multivariate binary logistic
regression was used. Independent samples t-test was used to compare
prevalence between MM and in a similar cohort of patients in the cardiac
intensive care (CCU) at KTH, Pakistan from a previously published study.
Data Collection Data was collected for patients who were admitted to the
CVICU for at least 24 hours and were prescribed at least 2 drugs from
the electronic health record of MM. Principal Findings In the intensive
care unit of the US hospital, 58% of patients had at least one
drug-drug interaction, while 16% had a clinically relevant drug-drug
interaction. Significantly fewer patients had drug-drug interactions at
the US hospital than the Pakistani hospital (58% vs. 95%, p
< 0.01). Polypharmacy and length of stay increased drug-drug
interaction occurrence in the US hospital (p <0.01).
Conclusion The prevalence of drug-drug interactions in the intensive
care unit at the US hospital was high but lower than the Pakistani
hospital, likely due to electronic medical record-based screening.
Despite electronic medical record-based screening at the US hospital, 8
clinically relevant drug-drug interaction pairs were undetected.
