Background

Financial distress (FD) is common among patients with advanced cancer. Our purpose was to compare the frequency and intensity of FD and its associations with symptom distress and quality of life (QOL) in these patients in France and the U.S.

Materials and Methods

In this secondary analysis of two cross-sectional studies, we assessed data on 292 patients who received cancer care at a public hospital or a comprehensive cancer center in France (143 patients) or the U.S. (149 patients). Outpatients and hospitalized patients over 18 years of age with advanced lung or breast or colorectal or prostate cancer were included. Diagnosed cognitive disorder was considered a noninclusion criterion. Advanced cancer included relapse or metastasis or locally advanced cancer or at least a second-line chemotherapy regimen. Patients self-rated FD and assessed symptoms, psychosocial distress, and QOL on validated questionnaires.

Results

The average patient age was 59 years, and 144 (49%) were female. FD and high intensity were reported more frequently in U.S. patients than in French (respectively 129 [88%] vs. 74 [52%], p < .001; 100 [98%] vs. 48 [34%], p < .001,). QOL was rated higher by the U.S. patients than by the French (69 [SD, 18] vs. 63 [SD, 18], p = .003). French patients had more psychological symptoms such as anxiety (8 [SD, 4] vs. 6 [SD, 5], p = .008). Associations were found between FD and U.S. residence, FD and single status (0.907, p = .023), and FD and metastasis (1.538, p = .036). In contrast, negative associations were found between FD and older age (−0.052, p = .003) and FD and France residence (−3.376, p = .001).

Conclusion

Regardless of health care system, FD is frequent in patients with advanced cancer. U.S. patients were more likely to have FD than French patients but reported better QOL. Further research should focus on factors contributing to FD and opportunities for remediation.
Morphological and mineral features of nZVI-induced precipitation on quartz particles
Authors: Liu Fuming , Zhou Wan-Huan , Yi Shuping , Geng Xueyu
Published: March 2019

This study investigated the morphological and mineral features of nano zero-valent (nZVI)-induced iron mineral precipitation on quartz particles. Lead was employed as the artificial contaminant, while quartz was used to mimic the inert solid mineral particles in soil. The characterisation indicate that iron minerals precipitated heterogeneously on the surface of quartz particles with plush-like and flake-like structures. They are made of deuterogenic plumbiferous minerals and ferriferous minerals, with amorphous structure. The curly flake-like mineral clusters had a scattered distribution on the surface of quartz along with the corroded nZVI aggregation. The thickness of the curly flake-like precipitation varied from 20 to 60 nm, and that of the plush-like precipitation from 20 to 35 nm. The generation of these iron mineral precipitations led to a slight increase in the average particle size and a decrease in the surface area of the soil. However, no clear difference in the shape and roughness of quartz was found after the nZVI treatment. This study was performed to improve the understanding of mass transfer from nZVI to inert solid particles in soil and its effect on soil improvement.
Coupling effect on shallow slope stability under infiltration
Authors: Zhang Jian , Li Jiangteng
Published: March 2019

This paper aims to discuss the influence of the coupled deformation of unsaturated soil on slope stability under rainfall conditions. Numerical soil column tests were first performed to display seepage deformation and the pore water pressure (PWP) distribution differences of the coupled analysis. Comparative analyses were done for three different analysis cases (i.e. uncoupled analysis, coupled analysis without considering the permeability coefficient (K s) change and coupled analysis considering the K s change) under different infiltration intensities. The analysis results show that the coupled deformation leads to different PWP distributions and factor of safety profiles in the shallow slope from the uncoupled analysis, and the K s change caused by seepage deformation plays an important role. There is a great risk for accurately assessing the shallow slope state as to the uncoupled analysis and the coupled analysis without considering the K s change.

El objetivo principal de esta investigación es evaluar la relación a largo plazo entre el consumo de energía y el producto interno bruto (PIB) para algunos países de Latinoamérica en el periodo 1980-2009. La estimación se realiza con la metodología de datos panel no estacionarios, usando como forma de especificación una función de producción, con el objeto de controlar otras fuentes de variación del PIB como trabajo y capital. Con este propósito se utilizan test de raíz unitaria para identificar la no estacionariedad de las variables y el test de cointegración en panel de Pedroni (2004) con la finalidad de evitar una regresión espuria (Entorf, 1997; Kao, 1999).
Sistema Individual de Pensiones versus sistema colectivo de pensiones en Perú
Authors: Guillén Jorge B. , Mosqueda Ruben
Published: March 2019

Este trabajo analiza la sostenibilidad del sistema pensional colectivo implementado por el gobierno peruano. En Perú, este sistema coexiste con el de fondos privados de pensiones o fondo individual. En algunos casos, estos dos sistemas compiten entre sí, con sus ventajas y desventajas entre ambos sistemas. Según nuestros hallazgos, el sistema pensional de reparto colectivo de pensiones no es sostenible en un largo plazo. Asimismo, sobre la base de un análisis comparativo de las ventajas y desventajas entre ambos sistemas, se formulan algunas recomendaciones para que los fondos privados de pensión (Sistema Individual) se conviertan en la mejor alternativa al sistema pen­sional colectivo.

Introduction: Aging is an irreversible physiological process that promote changes on biological parameters that culminate in limitations in the execution of daily tasks Objective: Evaluate the morphofunctional parameters of the elderly with and without depressive symptomatology. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive exploratory study was carried out using the protocol of evaluation of the functional autonomy of the Latin American Development Group for Maturity (GDLAN Protocol), consisting of walking 10 meters (C10m), rising from the sitting position (LPS), rising from the ventral position (LPDV) and rising from a chair and moving around the house (LCLC). Results: No significant differences (p>0.05) were found between the groups on functional tests and anthropometric parameters, however, statistical differences (p = 0.001) were found between the groups in the general GDLAM index. Additionally, a positive correlation (r2 : 0.778; p<0.01) was observed between the scores of depressive symptomatology and the general index GDLAM indicating that impairments in functional fitness proportionally higher incidence of depressive symptoms. Conclusion: The results suggest that elderly women with a depressive symptom present lower physical fitness than elderly women without symptoms of depression, and that physical activity is necessary for both samples to contribute to the improvement of daily life activities.

KAJIAN KENDALA IMPLEMENTASI E-COMMERCE DI INDONESIA
Authors: Firmansyah Ahmad
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis article aims to conduct literature review on the implementation of e-commerce in Indonesia, especially about the problems that will be faced. The review was conducted with qualitative methods with data retrieval technique of literature where the data obtained from the journal, news, books, and other research reports. The results showed that the obstacles to implementation e-commerce in Indonesia is related to two aspects, they are technical constraints and non-technology constraints. Technical issues such as the absence of standard of e-commerce quality, safety and reliability, bandwidth issues, and web server specification, especially in dealing with network problems. The non-technological issues such as the absence of government regulations in governing commercial transactions through e-commerce, the perception that e-commerce is unsafe and expensive, and the attitude of businesses people who are waiting for e-commerce condition becomes stable before participating. To anticipate those constraints, Indonesian government could take the experience of the United States in implementing e-commerce which considers e-commerce activities as universal, involves business actors of e-commerce in development planning, and creates rules and incentives for small companies to grow into larger companies. AbstrakTulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implementasi e-commerce di Indonesia khususnya pada kendala-kendala yang dihadapi. Kajian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan teknik pengambilan data berupa studi literatur dari jurnal, berita, buku, serta laporan penelitian lain yang terkait. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa kendala implementasi e-commerce di Indonesia utamanya mencakup dua hal yaitu kendala yang bersifat teknis dan kendala non teknologi. Kendala teknis seperti belum adanya standar baku yang mengatur mengenai mutu e-commerce, keamanan dan kehandalan sistem yang dibangun, masalah bandwidth, dan spesifikasi web server, khususnya dalam menangani masalah jaringan. Kendala dari segi non teknologi di antaranya belum adanya peraturan pemerintah yang mengatur mengenai transaksi perdagangan melalui e-commerce, adanya persepsi bahwa e-commerce tidak aman dan mahal, dan sikap pelaku usaha yang menunggu kondisi e-commerce menjadi stabil sebelum ikut berpartisipasi. Untuk mengantisipasi kendala-kendala tersebut, pemerintah Indonesia dapat mengambil pengalaman penyelenggaraan e-commerce di negara Amerika Serikat yang melihat kegiatan e-commerce sebagai kegiatan yang bersifat universal, yang dalam perencanaan pembangunannya mengikutsertakan pelaku-pelaku bisnis e-commerce dan membuat peraturan dan insentif bagi perusahaan UKM sehingga dapat tumbuh menjadi perusahaan yang besar.
COMBINATION OF CMMI-DEV AND CMMI-SVC TO MEASURE IMPLEMENTATION MATURITY OF E-GOVERNMENT: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Wibisono Septian Bagus , Sensuse Dana Indra
Published: March 2019

AbstrakGagasan utama implementasi e-government adalah memberikan pelayanan yang optimal kepada warga melalui penerapan TIK. Untuk mengukur kematangan implementasi e-government dapat digunakan model pengukuran CMMI. CMMI dipilih karena memiliki model pengukuran sesuai dengan implementasi e-government, yaitu CMMI-DEV, yang berorientasi pada proses pembangunan, dan CMMI-SVC, yang berorientasi pada layanan. Selain itu, model pengukuran CMMI dapat dinilai sesuai dengan tingkat kematangannya. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk meninjau secara sistematis proses spesifik pada CMMI-DEV dan CMMI-SVC yang dapat digunakan untuk mengukur kematangan implementasi e-government. Dalam tulisan ini digunakan metode tinjauan literatur sistematis dengan framework PRISMA, melalui pencarian artikel sebagai bukti bahwa proses spesifik CMMI-DEV dan CMMI-SVC dapat diukur dalam implementasi e-government. Proses review merekomendasikan agar semua proses spesifik dalam CMMI-DEV digunakan untuk ukuran kematangan implementasi e-government, namun hanya beberapa proses spesifik di CMMI-SVC yang direkomendasikan untuk dijadikan ukuran kematangan tersebut. AbstractThe main idea of e-government implementation is to provide an optimal service to the citizen through the application of ICT. To measure the maturity of e-government implementation, it can be used CMMI measurement model. CMMI is chosen because it has a measurement model in accordance with the implementation of e-government, namely CMMI-DEV which oriented to development process, and CMMI-SVC which is service-oriented. In addition, CMMI measurement model can be assessed in accordance with its maturity level. This paper aims to systematically review specific processes on CMMI-DEV and CMMI-SVC which can be used to measure the maturity of e-government implementation. A systematic literature review method with PRISMA frameworks is used as a method of composing this paper, by searching for articles as evidence that the specific processes of CMMI-DEV and CMMI-SVC can be measured in e-government implementation. The review process recommends that all specific processes in CMMI-DEV are measured to show maturity in e-government implementation, but only a few specific processes in CMMI-SVC are recommended to serve as a measurement of that purpose.
La crisis de la representación contable: ¿problemas de la ciencia social o de la política del poder?
Authors: ORTIZ BOJACÁ JOSÉ JOAQUÍN
Published: March 2019

This article seeks to clarify the factors that originate the problems of accounting representation. For this purpose, a reflection will be made on the theoretical foundations that support this important issue and the empirical references that
show this problems, to finally arrive at a proposal that bases new alternatives, accepting the principles that should govern accounting as a social science. In that sense, we will follow a qualitative methodology based on the bibliographic
review and the critical analysis of documents, defining categories of analysis that allow us to obtain sustained conclusions and to derive the design of the proposal based on epistemic aspects, in an effort to contribute to the consolidation of the accounting science. The results obtained show that we can effectively speak of a crisis in this field, which is materialized in the lack of systems that reflect the set of intangible assets, which finally will swell the world of financial transactions in the form of new products of this type. These products contribute to blur reality, due to its great volatility. All this has a common root in the dilution of the sense of social responsibility and the trivialization of public interest for lack of an authentic search for the common good. Given this, the accounting representation must go into these key aspects, so the proposal that closes this article is oriented to the development of four levels of information, with their own characteristics, which should be reflected in systems appropriate to its nature and the integration between all of them, thus overcoming the deficiencies found as a result of this investigation.
Religión: ¿sabemos de lo que estamos hablando? Examen sobre la viabilidad de una categoría analítica para las ciencias sociales
Authors: SARRAZIN JEAN PAUL
Published: March 2019

This article presents an updated revision of the different definitions of the concept of “religion” in the social sciences. The objective of this revision was to find an analytical category that is precise, clear and sufficiently broad to empirically study the wide range of sociocultural phenomena that can be or have been considered “religious”, even if they are not necessarily found in organized communities, or in institutionalized religions. However, the results of this revision show that the definitions are numerous, divergent, and many of them are ambiguous and imprecise, which is why any attempt at systematization is hindered and the analytical distinction between religious and other types of sociocultural phenomena is problematized. Without pretending to argue in favor of one of the definitions, the need to carefully use any of them is pointed out here, since each definition entails cultural specificities, biases and limitations that highlight certain aspects of reality, while hiding others. It is concluded that the lack of clarity and consensus on the subject can generate confusion and important misunderstandings in the academic community, which impedes the construction of scientific knowledge. Despite the absence of a unified analytical category, it is observed that some of the most prominent elements in the various definitions can constitute, in themselves, useful analytical categories for empirical research.

Cooperativismo en Perú, Chile y Argentina
Authors: González Mauricio
Published: March 2019

Los orígenes del Cooperativismo Latinoamericano datan de la llegada de inmigrantes Europeos quienes promovieron el desarrollo de cooperativas de consumo y cajas de socorro mutuo en un principio en Argentina, Brasil, México y Venezuela; posteriormente la Iglesia Católica introdujo este sistema en la Región Andina a pesar de las represiones de algunos gobiernos militares dela época, consecutivamente se crea laACI (Alianza Cooperativa Internacional), cuyo objetivo principal es "promover el reposicionamiento del modelo cooperativo en el nuevo entorno económico, político, social y comercial apoyando a las organizaciones miembros de la Alianza en la difusión y defensa de la identidad cooperativa, la promoción de los negocios y el desarrollo del Recurso humano (hoy Talento Humano)". Y es así como se inicia este sector que ha contribuido al desarrollo sostenible de la región. Para este caso en particular, nos referiremos a algunos países representativos de la economía solidaria, sus beneficios, y ejemplos de las cooperativas más importantes de estos, de tal manera que el lector amplíe su conocimiento no solo sobre este atractivo sector, sino que además logre despertar si es posible, un interés en alguna de estas cooperativas o en su defecto, tenga una idea de ellas por si en el futuro tuviese oportunidad o necesidad de hacer parte de una de ellas.

Background: Hysterectomy is the most common gynecological surgery performed. There are few studies evaluating hysterectomy as a risk factor for urinary incontinence. If hysterectomy is found to be a risk factor for developing urinary incontinence, women undergoing hysterectomy can be well informed prior to the procedure regarding the same. The objective of the present study was to study the prevalence of urinary incontinence in post-menopausal women and its relationship to hysterectomy. To evaluate the association of metabolic syndrome, to urinary incontinence.Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study done in Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore, Tamil Nadu between December 2016- December 2017. Postmenopausal women both with natural and surgical menopause, were enrolled into the study after an informed consent. The UDI-6 questionnaire was used to assess urinary incontinence. The categorical variables were presented using frequencies and percentages. The comparison of categorical variables was done using Fisher's exact test. The odds ratio and confidence interval were calculated for the prevalence. P value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: A total of 600 women were enrolled into the study with 300 women having attained natural menopause and 300 women with a surgical menopause. The prevalence of urinary incontinence among these post-menopausal women was 46.24%. The prevalence of urinary incontinence amongst the women with natural menopause was 47.3% and amongst the women with surgical menopause was 45% (p = 0.566). Women with metabolic syndrome suffered from urinary incontinence more than their counterparts without metabolic syndrome (55.8% vs. 36%, p <0.0001).Conclusions: The prevalence of urinary incontinence in the natural menopause and surgical menopause groups was similar, thus proving that hysterectomy is not a risk factor for developing urinary incontinence. However, metabolic syndrome was found to be associated with urinary incontinence.

Authors: Verma Aruna , Gupta Abhilasha , Kashyap Monika
Published: March 2019

Background: Labour dystocia is associated with a number of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Augmentation of labour is a commonly used intervention in cases of labour dystocia. Misoprostol is an inexpensive and stable prostaglandin E1analogue. Present study was done to see the effectiveness of sublingual misoprostol for labour augmentation and foeto-maternal outcome.Methods: Total 100 labouring women of term gestation were taken and divided in two groups: group A (study group) and group B (control group). In study group 25mcg sublingual misoprostol given 4 hourly till adequate uterine contractions developed, i.e. >3 contractions in 10 minutes, each lasting for 40-45 seconds. A maximum of 200mcg of misoprostol or 8 doses were used and in group B no drug was given for augmentation of labour. Maternal and foetal outcome were observed in both groups.Results: Augmentation to delivery interval was very short in group A in comparison to group B. Maternal and foetal outcome were almost same in both groups.Conclusions: Sublingual misoprostol is a safe and effective drug for augmentation of labour leading to early delivery without any major side effects.

Published: March 2019

Background: Colorectal anastomotic leakage is a serious complication leading to major postoperative morbidity and mortality. In the present study, author investigated the early detection of anastomotic leakage before its clinical presentation.Methods: This prospective study was including 80 consecutive patients with colorectal anastomoses using hand sewn technique. Patients follow-up was done to detect postoperative leak, study variables included hospital stay, wound infection, postoperative daily C-reactive protein, parameters of DULK-score and microbiological study of peritoneal fluid.Results: Clinically evident AL occurred in twelve patients (15%) and diagnosed postoperatively on median day 6. The median interval between appearance of the initial signs of clinical deterioration and the confirmation of AL was three days using DULK-score. C-reactive protein was significantly higher in patients with leakage with a cut-off value of 120 mg/l on 3rd postoperative day. Intraperitoneal bacterial colonization was significantly higher in patients with clinical evidence of AL (p value 0.012). Wound infection was significantly higher in anastomotic leakage group (p value 0.001). The hospital stay for the patients with anastomotic leakage was significantly longer than those without AL (p value 0.001).Conclusions: Routine application of DULK-score leads to diagnosis of AL three days earlier. C-reactive protein is a simple way to ensure a safe discharge from hospital after colorectal surgery.

Published: March 2019

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) persisting after mitral valve surgery reduces survival due to heart failure and thrombo-embolisms and impairs quality of life. Restoration of the sinus rhythm might lead to a lower incidence of thrombo-embolism and valve-related complications in the postoperative period.Methods: This non-randomized prospective study was carried out between period April 2015 to December 2018 in the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Government General hospital, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India. A total of 80 patients underwent mitral valve replacement during the study period. 50 patients out of these were with atrial fibrillation and were part of this study, who underwent mitral valve replacement.Results: All fifty patients were in atrial fibrillation based on clinical examination and the echocardiogram. 13 patients preoperatively were in atrial fibrillation with fast ventricular rate. These patients were placed on antiarrhythmic drugs to control the ventricular rate prior to mitral valve replacement. After surgery twenty out of fifty (40%) patients reverted to NSR and maintained the same rhythm till the 6 months of follow-up. Twenty-nine (58%) patients continued in atrial fibrillation after surgery.Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that preoperative atrial rhythm strongly determines postoperative rhythm. In view of the promising results of combined mitral valve and anti-atrial fibrillation surgery, the inescapable conclusion is that the anti-arrhythmic procedure should be offered routinely to all patients with a history of preoperative AF.
A prospective clinical trial on comparison of thyroidectomy done with or without drain
Authors: V. K. Rajan
Published: March 2019

Background: The practice of using the drain in thyroidectomy is common to avoid complications like a hematoma. Many surgeons use drain following thyroid surgery with an intention to evacuate the collected serum and blood. Objective was to evaluate the necessity of routine drainage and advantages in thyroidectomy.Methods: Prospective, non-randomized clinical trial was conducted for a duration of 1 year in 60 patients attended hospital. Patient were divided into two groups (Group WD and Group D). Epi-info version 7.0 was used for analysis. P<0.05 is considered statistically significant.Results: As seen the surgery was common in females which was significant (p<0.05) with the average age of 44 years in patients treated without drain while 42 years with drain. The most common diagnostic indication was found to be thyroid nodule. length of stay in hospital was less in patients were surgery was done with drain (2 days) (p<0.05).Conclusions: Significant reduction in length of hospital stay in drainage group compared to non-drainage group. So suction drainage should be done as a routine procedure.

Published: March 2019

Background: Juxta-anastomotic stenosis (JAS) is one of the predominant causes of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure, with the reported incidence of 65%, so that technical modification to alter the outflow vein configuration using the modified technique has been applied to prevent JAS and improve AVF maturation. The aim of the study to evaluate the modified technique of end-to-side distal radiocephalic A-V fistula regarding maturation, patency rate and the resultant juxta-anastomotic stenosis.Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 80 patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) at vascular surgery unit in general surgery department, Menoufia university hospital that prepared for dialysis. 40 patients "intervention group" underwent the modified technique to establish a functioning radiocephalic fistula; the other group (40 patients, control group) had the conventional technique of end to side radiocephalic fistula. Follow up of patients was over 6 months regarding function, patency rate and development of juxta-anastomotic stenosis.Results: There was statistically significant difference between 2 groups regarding primary failure, patency and JAS. Primary failure was detected in 2 patients in group A and in 5 patients in group B (p-value is 0.04). Considering patency rate, after 3 months the ratio between group A and group B was 37:34 with significant P value of 0.02, and after 6 months the ratio was 35:33 with P value of 0.03. Regarding JAS, by the end of follow up period, 4 patients diagnosed with JAS in group A, while group B had 8 patients, with p value of 0.01.Conclusions: Modified technique of end to side anastomosis for primary radio-cephalic fistula creation has better patency rate and low incidence of JAS than conventional method.
