Lexico-stylistic features of the expression of indignation in a fiction and its film version: comparative analysis
Authors: Jazokova Julia
Published: December 2023

The subject of the study is the lexical means of expressing indignation. The object of the study is statements with the intention of indignation. The theoretical basis of the study is the idea of perturbation as an integral part of conflict communication. The study reveals the most general patterns of changes in statements with the intention of indignation during the screening of fiction. The analysis is carried out in the comparative aspect of the statements of the characters of the literary work with the statements of the characters of the film adaptation of the literary work. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as lexical changes in the text of a work of fiction during its film adaptation. Special attention is paid to the reasons for changing the literary text in its screen version. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time a comparative analysis of statements with the intention of indignation is carried out, the analysis is carried out in comparison of the text of fiction with its film adaptation. The following transformations were identified: verbatim preservation of lexical composition, omission of lexical units, addition of lexical units and their replacement. The main conclusions of the study are the reasons for the identified transformations, which are due to the desire of the creators of the film adaptation to have a greater emotional impact on the audience - for this reason, the characters of the film adaptation are more emotional in expressing their feelings and experiences, their statements are more categorical, and there is more speech aggression in the film adaptation. Transformations occur due to changes in the details of the content of situations. Finally, the film adaptation has more features peculiar to oral colloquial speech: there is more colloquial vocabulary in the film adaptation, and the characters speak more briefly, since this is due to the general tendency of oral colloquial speech to save speech resources.
Secularización y desprivatización religiosa en el Uruguay de la última década (2013-2023)
Authors: Soterio Martín
Published: December 2023

A lo largo de este trabajo se realizará una mirada esquemática sobre el paradigma de secularización que ha primado en el Uruguay durante la última década. En arreglo a lo cual se abordará la evolución del propio concepto secularización, pasando por algunas de sus distintas teorizaciones o tesis, con énfasis en el llamado «paradigma clásico». El propósito de esa taxonomía, en conjunto con el abordaje de estudios recientes sobre la realidad local de fenómenos como la desprivatización religiosa: es intentar dilucidar si la tesis secularizadora francesa de separación de esferas continúa primando o si efectivamente se procesó o está procesando un cambio en la lógica del país. Para lo que se pondrá especial atención en las manifestaciones de la opinión pública y de los actores político-partidarios cuando se producen hechos religiosos con relevancia mediática o vinculados a instituciones y actores estatales.

Published: December 2023

Objectives:

The current case–control study was conducted to investigate the relationship of iron deficiency anemia and calcium levels with febrile seizures (FSs) in children.

Materials and Methods:

The study included 200 children ranging in age from 6 to 60 months. One hundred cases had FSs, including simple FSs and rest; 100 controls had a short history of febrile illness (<3 days) without seizures. A statistical analysis of the data was carried out using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23.

Results:

The mean weight, height, and head circumference of cases and controls are 9.73 ± 2.51 kg and 10.63 ± 3.34 kg, 79.66 ± 11.08 cm and 85.43 ± 15.55 cm, and 46.37 ± 2.79 cm and 46.83 ± 3.72 cm, respectively. As per the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, 27% of cases and 37% of controls had protein energy malnutrition (PEM). In cases and controls, the mean hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and red cell distribution width values were 9.23 ± 1.30 and 10.78 ± 1.60 gm/dL, 68.83 ± 8.86 and 78.59 ± 9.82 fl, 25.40 ± 3.47 and 28.50 ± 3.60 pg, and 18.73 ± 1.77 and 16.44 ± 1.76, respectively, and are statistically significant. Patients had lower serum ferritin levels than controls. The mean blood calcium levels in cases and controls were 9.13 ± 0.64 and 9.05 ± 0.93 mg/dL, respectively (P = 0.507). Iron deficiency anemia was found in 26% of cases and 7% of controls (P value <0.001). Hypocalcemia was reported in only 18% of patients and 23% of controls (P = 0.38).

Conclusion:

There is a clear correlation between FSs and iron deficiency. The majority of data suggests that hypocalcemia is unlikely to be the cause of FSs. Early detection and intervention of iron deficiency in children could help in the prevention and recurrence of FSs.

Comparison of conventional and digital lectures and examinations with respect to the conditions after COVID-19 period – an example for a bachelor lecture on textile finishing
Authors: Mahltig Boris
Published: December 2023

Due to the appearance of COVID-19, many lectures and examinations at universities are forced to digital formats. In the first post-pandemic semester again, the change from digital to conventional lectures was demanded. By this background the question arises, what is the better format for lecture and exam – digital or conventional? This question is discussed on the example of a bachelor lecture on textile finishing for the time period from 2019 to 2023. The combination of digital lecture and digital exam leads to strong participation numbers and by this to more successfully passing students. If the exam is done as conventional written text, the influence if the lecture is digital or conventional is weak. Also, the numbers of passing students or the finally achieved mark are mainly not dependent on the type of lecture format. Finally, it can be state that a digital lecture is more successful if there are also digital parts in the examination. Also, the return to conventional lectures and exams after the pandemic period is possible without influencing the student performance compared to pre-pandemic situation.

Published: December 2023

Churg–Strauss syndrome is a rare systemic vasculitis affecting small-caliber vessels, which has characteristic clinical manifestations in the forms of allergic rhinosinusitis, bronchial asthma (BA), eosinophilia, and pulmonary infiltrates. The reason for late diagnostics is gradual manifestation of symptoms, that typical of systemic diseases. Improving the knowledge of pediatricians, pulmonologists about the role of diagnostic search in Churg–Strauss syndrome for further routing, monitoring and correction of patient therapy. A 17-year-old boy with BA was admitted to the pulmonology department for clarification, verification of the diagnosis, and selection of therapy. Instrumental and laboratory examination was carried out: on the computer tomography (CT) scan of the thoracic organs "migrating" infiltration of both lungs, based on laboratory data may correspond to eosinophilic zones. On the CT scan of the nasal sinuses polysinusitis, polyposis; external respiration function (spirography) – no pathology; myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) – 14 U/ml (normal 5), anti-proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil ANCA – 30 U/ml (normal 5), anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies – 6.3–7.2 U/ml, eosinophilia (12%, abs 840 c). The result of the level of antibodies was negative later. Churg–Strauss syndrome was based on the American College of Rheumatology criteria: BA, eosinophilia 10% (abs 840), rhinosinusitis, migrating infiltrations on CT scan. He was discharged for asthma combination therapy with high age doses of inhaled corticosteroids. After treatment his condition improved, there was no need for systemic corticosteroids. The described clinical case clearly demonstrates the difficulty and duration of diagnosing Churg–Strauss syndrome due to the stage-by-stage course of the disease, the frequent (33% of cases) absence of laboratory evidence of vasculitis (ANCA-neg.) significant difficulty of verifying the diagnosis at early stages. The diagnosis provides for a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment.

Published: December 2023

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the peripheral joints, entheses, and spine joints, affecting 10–25% of patients with psoriasis. Early diagnosis of the disease is challenging due to the possible delayed skin and joint symptoms and signs. Before the advent of ultrasound examination, the diagnosis of joint diseases was limited only to the radiological method. The ultrasound diagnosis of joint diseases in children is not established and needs a more comprehensive study.
Materials and methods. The study included 50 PsA patients aged 3 to 17 years. We performed an ultrasound examination of 178 various joints. Knee joints were involved in 46 children, hip joints in 24, ankle joints in 34, and interphalangeal joints in 10. The mean age at onset was 7.8 years (range 1.5 to 14 years). The mean duration of the disease was 4.7 years.
Results. Homogeneous joint effusion was the most common finding in patients with juvenile PsA (JPsA) – 83%. The effusion heterogeneity (17%) was due to hyperechoic inclusions (fibrin) in anechoic content. Diffuse synovium thickening was found in 91% of the joints. In 12.3% of joints, cartilage thinning was observed (in patients with a disease duration of 5 years or more), with fuzzy contours in some cases and normal echostructure in others.
Conclusion. Periarticular structures, most often ligaments and tendons, are also involved in JPsA. The inflammation progresses steadily, with the rate depending on disease activity. Joint ultrasound is a reliable and highly informative method of JPsA diagnosing. It can identify a wide range of joint abnormalities; moreover, the severity of ultrasound abnormalities correlates with the disease severity, enabling using this method for monitoring disease-modifying therapy and as a screening tool for detecting the early signs of arthritis in patients with psoriasis. Joint ultrasound helps to detect early abnormalities.

Published: December 2023

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in the global population. Vitamin D deficiency is also an urgent and common problem, and the high incidence of hypovitaminosis does not depend on age, sex, nationality, and geographical location. Along with the so-called "classical" effects of cholecalciferol, no less significant non-calcemic functions of cholecalciferol have been actively studied over the past two decades, particularly its effect on inflammation and its role in anti-infectious immunity. More and more data on the relationship between UTIs and vitamin D deficiency supports the possible use of cholecalciferol as an adjuvant to basic UTI therapy.
Aim. To analyze the vitamin D status in children with UTI compared to healthy ones.
Materials and methods. The study included 75 children from 1 month to 18 years with UTIs of various localization treated in a healthcare institution in Stavropol. The mean age of the study patients was 6.0±0.3 years. Vitamin D status was based on serum calcidiol [25(OH)D3] level.
Results. The vitamin D level is statistically significantly higher in children of the control group than in patients with UTI: 36.42 ng/mL [24.92–46.37] vs 24.13 ng/mL [13.75–36.42], respectively (p=0.003). There were no patients with severe vitamin deficiency in the control group, while in the UTI group, it occurred in 20.0% of patients. The vitamin D level was less than 20 ng/mL in 31 (41.3%) children with UTI and only 2 (6.6%) in the control group (p=0.001). Normal vitamin status was found in only 38.7% of patients with UTI compared to 66.7% of healthy children (p0.01). The lowest level was found in patients with acute cystitis – 19.7 ng/mL [9.8–19.7], and the highest in patients with acute pyelonephritis – 31.9 ng/mL [14.3–36.4].
Conclusion. Based on the study results, it can be concluded that vitamin D deficiency may be one of the risk factors for developing UTIs in children. Further studies involving more patients are needed.

Objective: To investigate the impact of partial gastrectomy on gastrointestinal function in the treatment of patients with early gastric cancer. Methods: A sample of 20 patients with early-stage gastric cancer treated from January 2022 to January 2023 was randomly divided into two groups. Group A underwent partial gastrectomy, while Group B underwent distal subtotal gastrectomy. Surgical outcomes, complication rates, BMI indices, and quality of life were compared. Result: All surgical outcomes of patients with early gastric cancer in group A were better than those in group B (P < 0.05); the postoperative complication rate for early gastric cancer in group A was lower than that in group B (P < 0.05); the BMI index for patients with early gastric cancer in group A was higher than that in group B at different times (P < 0.05); the postoperative quality of life (SF-36) score of group A for early gastric cancer was higher than that of group B (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Partial gastrectomy for patients with early gastric cancer can increase BMI, optimize surgical outcomes, improve gastric function, and enhance the quality of life for gastric cancer patients.
Reserves as a Terminological System of Economic Analysis
Authors: Gerasimova E. B.
Published: December 2023

Socio-economic conditions of functioning of economic entities are determined by changes in the internal and external environment, limited and inaccessible resources, multidirectional requests of participants in economic relations. This leads to the need to introduce tools for more cost-effective and efficient management of activities in the short and long term. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive study of such tools for improving the efficiency of an economic entity as the search, identification, mobilization and implementation of reserves. The author used such scientific methods as analysis, synthesis, comparison, as well as systematic and logical approaches. Based on the analysis, the following results were obtained: the concept of «reserves» is defined as a polysemic term widely used in both economic and other scientific fields; a set of characteristics of reserves is justified in relation to the tools for improving the efficiency of an economic entity. It is also proved that at present reserves should be considered as a means of ensuring the reliability of the system’s functioning, under the condition of a deep and comprehensive study of its activities, highlighting its phenomenological features as the basis of the policy of searching, identifying, and implementing reserves. The continuity of analytical work in the field of improving the efficiency of economic entities of various types is substantiated. The leading role of the works of the professor at the Moscow Financial Institute (in the present century — the Financial University) S.B. Barnholz in the methodological justification and practical implementation of the search, identification and mobilization of reserves is reflected. The possibility of further development of the ideas and experience of the Soviet period during the construction of an economic entity’s performance management system is shown. Approaches to the classification of reserves as socio-economic instruments for improving the quality of the functioning of the economic system are substantiated. The key directions of developing a methodology for searching, identifying and mobilizing reserves are highlighted, for which it is proposed to use a standardization tool. The value of its application to analytical procedures is revealed both to improve the efficiency of the functioning of an economic entity and to improve communication with internal and external stakeholders.

Authors: Spitsina D. V.
Published: December 2023

The last years of our century are marked by the beginning of a wide and active use of the open standard of business information exchange XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) in the world communication practice. Since this format is recognized by economists and information technology practitioners as a flexible reporting tool for integrating financial and non-financial information in accordance with the stakeholders’ needs, the format is evolving and spreading due to the activities of the XBRL International consortium. The aim of the study is to identify the key stages in the reporting transformation in line with the transition from prioritising the form of information presentation to the dominance of the content aspect. The scientific cognition and special methods of research were used in the paper, namely deduction, induction, comparison, analysis synthesis and graphical methods. The study determines the role of the XBRL International consortium in promoting a new reporting format in cooperation with regulatory authorities and business community representatives. XBRL format possibilities for both automating reporting and internal controls documentation are revealed. The definition of XBRL consulting is proposed. The study might be useful to the specialists engaged in the analysis of consulting service market and new technologies in accounting and reporting.

Published: December 2023

In carrying out the stages of holding the 2024 General Election, KPU uses digital application systems. The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of implementing the digital application systems. Researchers studied primary data of general election laws and KPU regulations, and secondary data of some books and relevant electoral journal articles. They also explored empirical data from the Commissioners of KPU of Kediri Regency. In analyzing the data, researchers used Miles and Hubberman's theory. The results of this study show that the eight digital application systems used by KPU, namely: Sipol, Sidalih, Silon, Sidapil, Sidakam, Sirekap, Silog, and Siakba make a very large contribution to every stage of the 2024 General Election so that they become more effective, efficient, transparent, accurate, and up to date. Common weaknesses occur when data transmission is carried out simultaneously at one time, it has possibility problem for data traffic because the size of the server may not sufficient; second, the internet network is not evenly distributed throughout Indonesia; and third; not all of the human resources for general election organizers at the lower levels are capable of operating the digital system properly. To improve the quality and to get the maximum results of election, general election organizers need to anticipate closing the gaps in digital application system deficiencies in holding the 2024 general election in Indonesia.

Human Trafficking is an iceberg phenomenon that is growing all over the world including in Indonesia. Indonesia is a tier 2 surveillance country because human trafficking cases are still high and one of the regions contributing to human trafficking cases is East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The purpose of this study is to analyze and find out how pattern of human trafficking in East Lombok and the role of the East Lombok Regency government in preventing human trafficking. The results showed that first, pattern human trafficking in East Lombok Regency which starts from the recruitment process carried out by neighbors, family, friends, and people who first go abroad, document forgery and manipulation of victims' data are made outside the East Lombok Regency area, and the departure process is relay and departure is not from East Lombok Regency but from the area where the documents are made. Second, the role of the East Lombok Regency Government for prevent human trafficking by conducting scheduled socialization in villages/villages that are vulnerable to human trafficking victims, forming Productive Migrant Villages, and providing training to retired migrant workers/families by forming novice business heroes. However, the Government's efforts to prevent human trafficking have not been maximized and effective due to the lack of coordination between related institutions and public awareness of the dangers of trafficking in persons.

Potential health impact of transport traffic restriction in the center of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan
Authors: Mehtiyev Samir
Published: December 2023

The transport traffic is known to be the major reason for air pollution in urban areas. Two pollutants should be considered with attention: the particles with diameter of less than 10 microns (PM10) and carbon monoxide. The paper discusses application of time-series and geographical studies to the investigation of air pollution health effects as well as attempts to estimate potential health impact of restriction traffic in the center of Baku by 25% based on local data published in 2012(4) and 2013(5).

Time-series studies investigate association between short-term variations in air pollution levels and health events counts. Confounding factors that change slowly over the time do not introduce much distortion for the association in question as population is used as its own control.

Geographical studies aimed at investigation of association between long-term exposure to air pollution and chronic health outcomes. They are known to be prone to confounding because they compare populations from different locations. The evidence of air pollution effects from time-series and geographical studies is complementary. The problem of traffic air pollution is being intensified with each year and becomes one of the main public health priorities in Baku. Assuming that the results of six cities study (3) can be generalized to Baku the total number of preventable annual deaths should be around 419 in case of restriction traffic in the center of Baku by 25%. For the low border of 95%CI the result is as much as 153.

Despite uncertainties in assumptions the produced evidence fully justifies the proposed intervention.
A global hiatus in the Middle Permian tetrapod fossil record
Authors: Lucas Spencer G.
Published: December 2023

For about a half century, most vertebrate paleontologists have correlated the youngest Permian tetrapod assemblages in North America, which are from the San Angelo, Flowerpot and Chickasha formations in Texas-Oklahoma, to the oldest therapsid-bearing assemblages of the Russian Kazanian. This correlation was not based on shared low-level taxa (genera and species), but on the supposed therapsids in the American faunas and the presence of some "counterparts" (equivalent evolutionary grade) among theAmerican and Russian captorhinids and caseid pelycosaurs.Marine biostratigraphy indicates that the youngest tetrapod assemblages in Texas-Oklahoma are of Kungurian (late Leonardian) age, whereas the base of the Kazanian is no older than late Roadian. Thus, a very real hiatus in the global tetrapod record, previously named Olsonï¿½s gap, is evident between the youngest, pelycosaur-dominated assemblages of North America and the oldest, therapsid-dominated tetrapod assemblages of Russia. This hiatus is equivalent to most of Roadian time, and is at least two million years long. A review of the global record of Permian tetrapod body fossils and footprints reveals that this is a hiatus of global extent. Olsonï¿½s gap corresponds to a significant remodelling of the Permian tetrapod fauna.
Revised astrochronology for the Aim el Beida section (Atlantic Morocco): No glacio-eustatic contrpl for the onset of the Messinian Salinity Crisis

Published: December 2023

Glacio-eustatic sea level lowering has often been proposed as a key mechanism for explaining the onset of the Mediterranean evaporites during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC). To examine the role of glacio-eustacy during the progressive isolation of the Mediterranean in more detail, we reinvestigated the Ain el Beida quarry section that is located at the Atlantic margin of Morocco and therefore free of destructive MSC-related complications. The section consists of deep marine, cyclically bedded (reddish/beige), silty marls of late Messinian age. The reddish layers reveal the same characteristic signals as found in the Mediterranean sapropels (Globigerinoides spp. maxima and δ¹⁸O minima), suggesting that they correspond to precession minima and, hence, (boreal) summer insolation maxima.We have established an integrated stratigraphy (calcareous plankton biostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, stable isotope stratigraphy and cyclostratigraphy) and an astronomical tuning of the Ain el Beida section by using conventional techniques and calibration methods. The astronomical ages for the biostratigraphic events and paleomagnetic reversals are in good agreement with the Mediterranean chronology, and confirm our cyclostratigraphic correlations. Stable isotope analyses reveal that the peak glacial stages TG22 and TG20 clearly post-date the initiation of the Messinian evaporites in the Mediterranean and that there is no evidence for a glacio-eustatic control for the onset of the MSC.Only the TG12-11 transition seems to correspond to a major intra-MSC event, i.e. the beginning of the Upper Evaporites. The typical Lago Mare facies of the Upper Evaporites was thus deposited during warmer climate conditions and associated higher global sealevel stands.
Tectonostratigraphy of the Khoy Complex, northwestern Iran
Authors: Ghazi Mohammad , Pessagno Emile A. , Kariminia Mohsen , Duncan R. A. , Hassanipak A. A.
Published: December 2023

Previous studies suggested that only one ophiolite, the “Khoy ophiolite", existed near Khoy, northwestern Iran. This thesis is no longer tenable. Combined investigations (biostratigraphic, chronostratigraphic, geochonometric, geochronologic, and geochemical) demonstrate that there are at least two and perhaps three ophiolite remnants in the Khoy area: (1) A Late Jurassic (early to middle Oxfordian: 156 Ma to 159 Ma 40Ar-39Ar on gabbro) remnant; (2) A Late Cretaceous (early Coniacian: Radiolaria) remnant (~N-MORB geochemistry); and, possibly, (3) A Late Cretaceous (latest Campanian) remnant (E-MORB geochemistry). Because it is impossible to use the term “Khoy ophiolite" in this report, we refer the ophiolitic rocks in the Khoy area to the “Khoy Complex” (sensu International Stratigraphic Guide). The sedimentary contact between Late Cretaceous (early Coniacian) red manganiferous ribbon chert lacking calc-alkaline volcanic contributions and overlying pyroclastics (tuff and tuff breccia) in the far northwestern part of the Khoy complex is of great tectonostratigraphic significance. This interface represents a sudden change from pelagic to pyroclastic sedimentation. Field evidence indicates that the contact is disconformable and is associated with a hiatus of unknown magnitude. Red ribbon chert (lacking calcalkaline contributions) in the same area overlies and is interbedded with N-MORB pillow basalt; early Coniacian Radiolaria were recovered from interpillow siliceous mudstone. We postulate that by the early Coniacian oceanic crust (covered with a veneer of Radiolarian ooze) had moved close enough to an island arc system to receive calc-alkaline pyroclastics. Tectonic melange in the Khoy Complex represents a subduction complex probably associated with the island arc noted above. Micrite (pelagic limestone) knockers in the tectonic melange belt contain Early Cretaceous (late Albian: Vraconian) planktonic foraminifera; Late Cretaceous (early Cenomanian) Radiolaria; Late Cretaceous (early Campanian to early Maastrichtian) planktonic foraminifera; Late Cretaceous (late Maastrichtian) planktonic foraminifera; and early Middle Eocene planktonic foraminifera. The age of the micrite knockers in the tectonic melange, suggests that subduction associated with island arc volcanism continued from the Early Cretaceous (latest Albian) to the Early Tertiary (early middle Eocene).
Radiolarian and conodont biozonation in the pelagic Guadalupian–Lopingian boundary interval at Dachongling, Guangxi, South China, and mid-upper Permian global correlation

Published: December 2023

High–resolution microbiostratigraphy has identified six conodont zones and five coeval radiolarian zones in the Guadalupian–Lopingian (G-L) transitional interval from a section of middle and upper Permian pelagic cherts at Dachongling, near Qinzhou city in Guangxi, South China. The basal Lopingian GSSP at Penglaitan, South China, is correlated with the base of bed Dch 45-21 at Dachongling on the basis of the first occurrence of the conodont Clarkina postbitteri postbitteri Mei and Wardlaw. The first appearances of the radiolarians Albaillella yamakitai Kuwahara and A. cavitata Kuwahara at the same level indicate that both FADs can be used for identifying theG–L boundary in radiolarian-bearing pelagic cherty facies. The appearance of both radiolarian species in the sections at Sasayama, Gujo-Hachima in Southwest Japan, and in the Quinn River Formation of north-central Nevada, indicates that both boundary-index fossils can be traced worldwide. We therefore suggest that Dachongling secion is a good candidate as an auxiliary reference section for the Guadalupian-Lopingian boundary.
Association between sex and mental health sequelae after ICU discharge: A scoping review
Authors: Checkwitch Emily , Antwi Lydia , Papathanassoglou Elisavet
Published: December 2023

Background: Following discharge from intensive care units (ICUs), more than 50% of patients may develop mental health conditions including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety. However, there is limited research to suggest risk factors and new possibilities for management.

Objective: Are there sex-related differences in the incidence, severity, and duration of mental health sequelae in adults after ICU discharge?

Methods: Studies published in English within the last 20 years, focusing on sex and mental health sequelae post-ICU. Online databases MedLine, EmBASE, Scopus, PsycINFO, and CINAHL were explored as of September 22, 2021.

Results: Of the 706 studies screened, six were included, and three demonstrated a statistically significant association between sex and mental health sequelae. Four outcomes of interest were noted: mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL), post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), major depression/PTSD comorbidity, and major depression. Three studies that addressed mental HRQoL noted a decreased mental HRQoL in females compared to males, but two were statistically significant. No statistically significant association was found between sex and PTSS. One study examined both major depression/PTSD comorbidity and major depression and found a statistically significant association between female sex and both outcomes.

Conclusions: Despite methodological limitations of the identified studies, this scoping review shows a trend for worse mental health outcomes in females post-ICU. More research focusing on confounding factors is needed to better understand the associations between sex, gender, and mental health sequelae in post-ICU patients.
Outcome of patients with attempted suicidal hanging with pre-hospital cardiac arrest: A pilot observational ICU study
Authors: Bansal Anup , Nayyar Vineet
Published: December 2023

Background: Hanging with pre-hospital cardiac arrest is associated with increased hospital mortality and significant long-term neurological morbidity.

Setting: Single centre, observational study at tertiary care ICU.

Methods: All patients with suicidal hanging admitted to Westmead ICU from 1-Jan-2014 to 31-Dec-2019 were included in the study. Patient data obtained from ICU database and electronic health record was analysed for predictors of ICU outcome.

Results: Seventy-six patients with suicidal hanging presented to Westmead Emergency Department over a period of 6 years; of these, 47 (33 males, 14 females) were admitted to ICU. Mean age of patient cohort was 39.0 years (+13.6) and median APACHE-III score was 69.0. Twenty-seven patients (57.4%) were admitted following pre-hospital cardiac arrest due to a non-shockable rhythm (16 PEA, 11 asystole) as the first documented rhythm. Most (74.0%) of these patients had GCS of 3 at scene and this remained unchanged on arrival in the ED. This notwithstanding, 33.3% patients had a good neurological outcome. Among hanging patients without pre-hospital cardiac arrest, 95% had a good neurological outcome. This difference in outcome was significant. While several factors were associated with patient outcome on univariate analysis, only high APACHE-III score demonstrated a significant inverse relationship with good outcome on regression analysis. Presence of myoclonus at admission and pre-hospital cardiac arrest also had an inverse association with good outcome, but this was not statistically significant.

Conclusions: Outcome of hanging patients with pre-hospital cardiac arrest admitted to ICU was poor despite successful initial resuscitation as per international guidelines. High APACHE-III score was associated with poor outcome.
Android Application for Tomato Leaf Disease Prediction Based on MobileNet Fine-tuning
Authors: Mutia Fadhilla  , Des Suryani
Published: December 2023

Tomato is one of the most well-known and widely cultivated plants in the world. The result of tomato production is affected by the conditions of the plants when they are grown. It may decrease due to leaf plant disease caused by climate change, pollinator decrease, microbial pets, or parasites. To prevent this, an image-based application is needed to identify tomato plant disease based on visually unique patterns or marks seen on leaves. In this paper, we proposed a CNN fine-tuned model based on MobileNet architectures to identify tomato leaf disease for mobile applications. Based on the results tested by K-fold cross-validation, the best accuracy achieved by the proposed model is 97.1%. Additionally, the best average precision, recall and F1 Score are 99.8%, 99.8%, and 99.5%, respectively. The model with the best results is also implemented into Android-based mobile applications.
Modelling of Carrying Capacity at Komodo National Park: System Dynamics Approach (Case Study: Komodo Island and Padar Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province)
Authors: Firmansyah Irman
Published: December 2023

Komodo (Varanus komodoensis) with its wildlife is the only one in the world that lives in the Komodo National Park (KNP), East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The conservation efforts are carried out by considering the carrying capacity to remain in line with the principles of sustainable tourism management. This study aims to analyze the carrying capacity of the visits carrying capacity on Komodo Island and Padar Island. The method used in this research is system dynamics analysis. The number of Komodo dragons in 2045 is estimated to increase to 4000-4500 Komodo dragons in KNP or around 2500 Komodo dragons in Komodo Island and Padar Island since the number of preys is still quite available in their habitat. However, without the implementation of low carbon development, there will be pressure on its population, which can drop to 800-900 Komodo dragons both on Komodo Island and Padar Island. Meanwhile, the temperature increase occurs until the year 2045 which reaches 0.8°C. In terms of the ideal number of visits on Komodo Island based on the carrying capacity calculation of 219,000 visits/year, on Padar Island the ideal number of visits is 39,420 visits/year and it can be still increased up to 2-2.5 times

Published: December 2023

Coal mining plays a vital role in Indonesia's economic growth. However, these activities negatively impact the environment. To minimize this, the Indonesian government requires ex-mining land to be reclaimed, with one of the success criteria being canopy cover. Until now, there has been no measurable method that can determine the success rate of canopy cover on reclaimed land. This research was conducted to develop a measurement method based on remote sensing data using the Forest Canopy Density (FCD) Model, which is applied in Company X, Kutai Kertanegara. The FCD Model consisted of four biophysical indices, including AVI, BSI, SI, and TI, obtained from Landsat 8 OLI TIRS imagery from 2013–2021. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was performed before testing the relationship between FCD values and canopy cover using linear regression to obtain the canopy cover success value based on the FCD value. The FCD showed an increasing trend yearly, especially in the first two years after planting. Regression analysis showed a strong relationship between FCD values and canopy cover values, with R2=0.775, and revealed that 75.35 is the FCD value threshold for a successful canopy cover in the reclamation area. This study shows that the FCD approach can be applied to determine the success rate of reclamation in post-mining areas.
