Published: February 2023

Along with the development of the economy in Indonesia, the development of sustainability aspects in Indonesia has also received a good response. By carrying out Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures and regulations from regulatory agencies, public understanding of sustainability investment is hoped to continue to increase. Public awareness of ESG-based investments has continued to increase in recent years. ESG is a company standard in investment practices that integrates and implements its policies in line with environmental, social, and governance concepts. This study aimed to determine the effect of ESG on company value in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), 2017-2021 period. The sample for this research is a company listed on the IDX for the 2017-2021 period. Sampling technique using purposive sampling. The data analysis used in this study is multiple linear regression. The analysis results conclude that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has not strongly influenced the value of companies listed on the IDX for the 2017-2021 period.
Regulators Collaborate to Digitize CME for America’s Doctors
Authors: McMahon Graham T. , Chaudhry Humayun J.
Published: February 2023

Since 2010, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) has maintained a database, the Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS), as a central repository for information about accredited education providers and their activities. The database has been expanded with the goal of creating an integrated, centralized data system. The ACCME collaboration since 2015 with specialty certifying boards served as a proof of concept that creating a centralized system that facilitates the free flow of data can provide value to physicians and medical regulatory boards. In 2018, ACCME undertook a pilot project that expanded reporting of credit for certifying boards to also include reporting of continuing medical education (CME) credit for 3 state medical licensing boards. Based on the success and lessons learned from the pilot, the ACCME decided to invest in building a new version of PARS to include any state medical licensing boards that chose to use the data. Launched in November 2021, the new PARS enables accredited organizations to enter CME credit data for all US physicians. Physicians may access their data via CMEPassport.org. By leveraging the power of a common database, regulatory bodies can demonstrate accountability, integrity, and transparency; reduce burdens on physicians; facilitate physicians’ commitment to lifelong learning; transform the perception of CME from a checkbox exercise to a currency for change; and contribute to advancing clinician practice and healthcare improvement for patients and communities throughout the country.

Published: February 2023

Objective: The present study was conducted to examine the relationship between psychosocial health and depressive symptom levels of pregnant women.Methods: The data of 150 pregnant women who were followed up in the Family Healthcare Center were collected by face-to-face interview. The data were collected with study specific Personal Data Form, the Psychosocial Health Assessment in Pregnancy Scale (PHAPS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).Results: The mean age of the pregnant participants was 27.49±5.69 years, and the mean marriage duration was 6.21±5.33 years and average number of pregnancies 2.50±1.58. Of the pregnant women participating in the study, 26.0% were in the first trimester, 34.7% were in the second trimester, and 39.3% were in the third trimester. The total mean score of the PHAPS during the pregnancies of the women was 2.06±0.6 and their psychosocial health status was poor. It was found that 23.3% of the pregnant women had mild, 8.7% had moderate, and 0.7% had severe depression symptoms.Conclusion: Negative and moderately significant relations were detected between better psychosocial health status and depression during pregnancy.

Published: February 2023

Objective: Our aim in this study is to analyze the compliance rates with current guidelines by raising awareness among pediatricians, otolaryngologists, general practitioners and family physicians about the diagnosis and treatment of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis.
Methods: A survey containing 18 questions was sent to physicians working in the Marmara Region of Turkey. The responses and variables, including age, gender, duration of professional experience, specialty area, and the number of cases diagnosed in one month, were evaluated concerning the current guidelines from the American Society of Infectious Diseases
Results: Totally 500 physicians were enrolled into this study. The majority of the physicians participating in the study [91,4% (n=458)] did not know how to differentiate acute rhinosinusitis from viral upper respiratory tract infection clinically. The number of physicians prescribing the correct antibiotic but at the wrong dosage was 186 (37.2%). It was observed that general physicians made more mistakes in determining the diagnosis with the correct criteria than the other specialties (p=0.03).
Conclusion: There appears to be a problem of clinical inertia in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric acute bacterial rhinosinusitis at the emergency department in Turkey, possibly due to unfamiliarity with the condition, patient overload, worries about performance fees, and failure to update medical knowledge concerning current guidelines. Increased emphasis on continuing professional education and various supportive measures for primary care physicians may help to resolve this.

Authors: DİZEN KAZAN Elif , KAZAN Sinan , TUNCA Onur
Published: February 2023

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare blood pressure variability among irritable bowel syndrome subtypes.
Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome and existing hypertension were included in the study. Average real variability (ARV) was calculated by consecutive one week home blood pressure measurements. Groups were compared for blood pressure variability.
Results: While diastolic ARV was found to be similar among subtypes (p=0.919), a significant difference was found between them in terms of systolic ARV (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Since irritable bowel syndrome patients with constipation-predominant subtype have higher systolic blood pressure variability, these patients can be followed more closely for cardiovascular complications.

Published: February 2023

Objective: Sternotomy defects may present mildly as isolated skin separation or severely as mediastinitis. A combination of treatment options can support treatment.
Methods: Patients who were treated with pectoralis major flap with the combination of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) between 2016-2020, were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic features, microorganisms causing wound infection, flap reconstruction preference, time of hospitalization, remission, recurrence and associated morbidity and mortality data were evaluated.
Results: Thirteen patients were included with a mean age of 65.4 years. All patients previously underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Wound cultures from patients were positive in nine (69%). Isolated microorganisms were Staphylococcus spp. (n=4), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=3) and Acinetobacter baumannii complex (n=2). The most common comorbidities were hypertension (76%) and diabetes mellitus(46%). The average hospital stay was 23.4 days. One patient died on the seventh postoperative day, two had seromas at the flap donor site, and one had hematoma.
Conclusion: Pectoralis major muscle flap and NPWT after complete removal of dead tissues is an effective method to repair and treat sternum defects.

The Safest Bet: Identifying and Assessing Risk in Faculty Selection
Authors: O’Meara KerryAnn , Templeton Lindsey L. , White-Lewis Damani K. , Culpepper Dawn , Anderson Julia
Published: February 2023

Efforts to mitigate bias in faculty hiring processes are well-documented in the literature. Yet, significant barriers to the hiring of racially minoritized and White women in many STEM fields remain. An underreported barrier to inclusive hiring is assessment of risk. Guided by theory from behavioral economics, social psychology, and decision-making, we examine the inner workings of five faculty search committees to understand how committee members identified and assessed risk with particular attention to assessments of risk that became intermingled with social biases. Committees identified and assessed five risks, including candidate interest, candidate disciplinary expertise, candidate competence, candidate collegiality, and the timing and oversight of the search process itself. We discuss implications of risk identification and assessment for effective and inclusive searches.

Authors: Bai Yaya , Jia Huiying , Avolio Alberto , Qian Yi , Zuo Junli
Published: February 2023

Background: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and ejection duration (ED) have different impacts on target organ damage (TOD). The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of cfPWV and ED with TOD. Methods: A total of 1254 patients (64.27% males) from Ruijin Hospital were enrolled in this study from December 2018 to August 2022. Medical records, blood samples and urine samples were collected. The cfPWV was measured and ED was generated using SphygmoCor software (version 8.0, AtCor Medical, Sydney, Australia). TOD including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), microalbuminuria, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and abnormality of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were evaluated. Results: Multiple stepwise linear regression models of cfPWV and ED (individually or together) showed that cfPWV was positively correlated with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (β= 0.131, p = 0.002) and Log (albumin-creatinine ratio, ACR) (β= 0.123, p = 0.004), while ED was negatively correlated with LVMI (β= –0.244, p < 0.001) and positively correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (β= 0.115, p = 0.003). When cfPWV and ED were added separately or together in multiple stepwise logistic regression models, cfPWV was associated with CKD [odds ratio (OR) = 1.240, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.055–1.458, p = 0.009], while ED was associated with LVH (OR = 0.983, 95% CI 0.975–0.992, p < 0.001). In the control group with normal cfPWV and normal ED, LVH was significantly lower in patients with high ED (OR = 0.574, 95% CI 0.374–0.882, p = 0.011), but significantly elevated in those with high cfPWV and low ED (OR = 6.799, 95% CI 1.305–35.427, p = 0.023). Conclusions: cfPWV was more strongly associated with renal damage, while ED was more strongly associated with cardiac dysfunction. cfPWV and ED affect each other, and together have an effect on LVH.

Authors: Syurin Sergei A. , Vinnikov Denis V.
Published: February 2023

Introduction. Despite the technological modernization of the nickel industry, workers employed in it continue to be at increased risk of developing occupational pathology. The study aims to assess occupational health risks in the electrolysis production of nickel according to the longitudinal epidemiological study. Materials and methods. Experts have studied the data of workplace certification, periodic medical examination (2008) and the register of occupational diseases of the Murmansk region in 2009-2021. Results. In 2008, scientists identified 3,744 chronic unprofessional diseases in 1,397 nickel electrolysis workers, among which the most common were diseases of the musculoskeletal system (23.0%). 41.9% of workers had a low, 17.7% - moderate, 16.7% - medium, 10.7% - high and 12.9% - very high category of risk for the development of professional pathology. During the next 13 years (2009-2021), the authors have diagnosed 201 chronic occupational diseases for the first time in 89 employees, mainly respiratory organs (58.7%) and musculoskeletal system (28.9%). In total, occupational diseases were formed in 6.4% of workers, including 13.6% of cleaners, 7.6% of repairmen, 6.6% of electrolyzers, 5.7% of crane drivers, 4.9% of hydrometallurgical apparatchiks and electricians. Occupational morbidity was 114.31 per 10,000 workers with the highest rates in cleaners (328.69). We have detected occupational diseases in 1.0% of workers with a low risk category, 2.8% with moderate, 6.8% with medium, 13.3% with high and 22.2% with very high. Limitations. The impossibility of completely eliminating the possibility of diagnosing an occupational disease in workers who have dropped out of the observation group to other regions of the country. Conclusion. Researchers have obtained new data on the formation of occupational pathology in the electrolysis production of nickel, taking into account the specialty of employees and the category of occupational risk. Ethics. We carry out the study in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The protocol and design of the study were approved by the local committee of the North-Western Scientific Center for Hygiene and Public Health of 12.05.2021, Protocol No. 35.4.

Published: February 2023

Throughout human history, many people believed that there is a power beyond the normal realm that falls into either physical or super strength, spiritual and mental powers. Since then, people have always been captivated by the idea of having someone different from the normal one, which is indicated by their skills and abilities. A superhuman abilities perspective is characterized by having superior cognitive and perceptual capacities that are above normal humans, especially useful during times of crises and situations wherein life and death are the core subject of the occurrence. Angels and heroes are the common figures associated with having special superpowers that are beyond the usual, ordinary, and typical attributes of a person. Nurses are often associated with these superhuman traits and this narrative was magnified during the height of Covid-19 pandemic. This paper argues that this narrative is detrimental to both the discipline and profession of nursing.
Differential expression of FFAR1 in pancreatic cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined public and published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with pancreatic cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding free fatty acid receptor 1, FFAR1, when comparing pancreatic tumors to the tissue of origin, the pancreas. FFAR1 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the pancreas as compared to normal pancreatic tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of FFAR1 in pancreatic tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. FFAR1 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human PDAC.

Evaluating large-domain, hecto-meter, large-eddy simulations of trade-wind clouds using EUREC4A data
Authors: Schulz Hauke , Stevens Bjorn
Published: February 2023

The meso-scale variability in cloudiness of the marine trade-wind layer is explored with large-eddy simulations of regional extent and validated against observations of the EUREC4A field campaign. 41 days of realistically forced simulations present a representative, sta- tistical view on shallow convection in the winter North Atlantic trades that includes a wide range of meso-scale variability including the four recently identified patterns of spa- tial organization: Sugar , Gravel , Flowers and Fish . The results show that cloud cover is on average captured well but with discrepancies in its vertical and spatial distribution. Cloudiness at the lifting condensation level depends on the model resolution with the finer one producing on average a more realistic cloud profile. Independent of the reso- lution, the variability in cloudiness below the trade inversion is not captured, leading to a lack of stratiform cloudiness with implications on the detectability of meso-scale pat- terns whose cloud patches are characterized by stratiform clouds. The simulations tend to precipitate more frequently than observed, with a narrower distribution of echo in- tensities. The observed co-variability between cloudiness and environmental conditions is well captured.
Vividness of visual imagery predicts performance on a visual working memory task when an imagery strategy is encouraged
Authors: Slinn Callum , Nikodemova Zuzana , Rosinski Arielle , Dijkstra Nadine
Published: February 2023

The relationship between mental imagery and visual working memory has been much debated. One explanation that has been put forward for the incongruent findings is that people use different cognitive strategies to perform visual working memory tasks. In this study, we tested three imagery vividness groups (low, control, high) on a retro-cue visual working memory task. Crucially, we explicitly instructed participants to use imagery during the working memory task. We found strong group effects such that visual working memory accuracy was lower for the low imagery group and higher for the high imagery group compared to controls. These results support the idea that imagery vividness and visual working memory accuracy are related when an imagery strategy is used. Future research is necessary to directly investigate the effects of explicitly instructing different cognitive strategies on the relationship between imagery and visual working memory.

Published: February 2023

Purpose/Objective: US health organizations, including Division 22 of the American Psychological Association, the Society for Critical Care Medicine, and the American Thoracic Society advocate for psychological treatment that improves long-term outcomes in critical illness survivors. However, limited information exists on psychology training opportunities in critical care settings. We aim to identify and describe (1) existing psychology programs with training in critical care settings and (2) barriers to finding these training opportunities. Research Method/Design: Using aspects of the Arksey and O’Malley Framework and PRISMA-ScR reporting checklist as a guide, two independent reviewers searched the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) Directory and Universal Psychology Postdoctoral Directory (UPPD) to identify programs with training experiences in critical care settings. Results: Searching the APPIC Directory did not reliably or accurately identify training opportunities in critical care settings for pre-doctoral interns. After duplicates were removed, searches using the UPPD yielded 31 programs for review. Of those, 22 programs met inclusion, offering heterogenous training, in critical care settings.Conclusions/Implications: These results suggest few opportunities for training in critical care settings exist and that they are hard to find using standard search methods. The identified challenges also emphasize the need for advanced search features for training opportunities within APPIC/UPPD and/or a list of programs offering these training opportunities. Our results highlight the importance of program descriptions that accurately and comprehensively reflect training opportunities–particularly relating to opportunities in critical care settings.
Influencing dreams through sensory stimulation: a systematic review
Authors: Salvesen Leila , Capriglia Elena , Dresler Martin , Bernardi Giulio
Published: February 2023

Sleep is commonly regarded as a state of disconnection from the environment. Yet, instances of external sensory stimuli affecting the course of dreams have been reported for centuries. Importantly, understanding the impact of external stimuli on dreams could shed light on the origin and generation of dreams, the functional mechanisms that preserve sleep continuity, and the processes that underlie conscious awareness. Moreover, the possibility of using sensory stimuli for dream engineering could potentially benefit patients suffering from alterations in the intensity or content of sleep conscious experiences. Here, we performed a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines to evaluate the robustness of the current evidence regarding the influence of external sensory stimulation during sleep on dreams experiences. In a literature search using PsycNET, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, we selected any experimental work presenting dream data obtained from a confirmed sleep episode during which visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, or somatosensory stimulation was administered. A methodological assessment of the included studies was performed using an adapted version of the Downs and Black’s (1998) checklist. Fifty-one publications met the inclusion criteria, of which 21 reported data related to auditory stimulation, 10 to somatosensory stimulation, 8 to olfactory stimulation, 4 to visual stimulation, 2 to vestibular stimulation, and 1 to multi-modal stimulation (audio-visual). Furthermore, 9 references involved pre-conditioned associative stimulation procedures: 6 relied on targeted memory reactivation protocols and 3 on targeted lucid reactivation protocols. The reported frequency of stimulus-dependent dream changes across studies ranged from 0% to ~90%. Such a variability likely reflects the considerable heterogeneity of experimental and methodological approaches. Overall, the literature analysis identified a lack of substantial understanding of the key mechanisms, functions, and correlates of stimulus-dependent dream changes. We believe that a paradigm shift is required for meaningful and significant advancement in the field. We hope that this review will serve as a starting point for such a shift.
Estimating Causal Effects between Number of Children and Older Parents’ Cognitive Function Using HRS Data and IV Approach
Authors: Zheng Boyan , Zhang Yan , Fletcher Jason
Published: February 2023

Recent research has used the European SHARE data to estimate effects of childbearing on later life cognition (ages 65+) by implementing an instrumental variables strategy that uses the sex composition of first two children that shifts the likelihood of having more than two children. The results suggest having three or more children has negative effects on cognition. We use the same approach in the US Health and Retirement Study, which allows a broader set of cognitive outcomes, ages 50+, and a different context. We find that the first stage relationship—between sex composition and fertility—is much weaker in the US than in Europe and varies by birth cohort. We improve the first stage by using a two-sample IV approach with data from the US Census. Unfortunately, the combined limitations of our smaller HRS sample and weak first stage lead to imprecise results, often suggesting positive effects for males. Our analysis points to limitations with the current data infrastructure in the US that affect our ability to understand key determinants of old age cognition and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Authors: A . Hussein Ahmed , F. Hassan Adnan
Published: February 2023

Liquid zinc acetate nanoparticles were added to a fluorescent organic dye (fluorescein sodium) to prepare three concentrations (2 × 10-5, 7×10-5, 1×10-4) moI/L, and the absorbance of the dye was measured before and after adding Liquid nanomaterial by using two devices (SCINCO Mega-2100 UV/visible Spectrophotometer.) as well as measuring the flux of the dye before and after adding zinc acetate nanoparticles using the (Spectrofluorometer F96 PRO). The Stoke displacement (Δη), the radiative age (τfm), the fluorescence lifetime (τf), and the quantitative efficiency (Qfm) were calculated. Absorption and fluorescence curves were drawn using the Excel program. The MATLAB program was also used to measure the area under the absorption and fluorescence spectra curves. It was found that the fluorescence intensity of fluorescein sodium dye has increased compared to the intensity of fluorescence before adding the nanomaterial and thus increasing the quantitative efficiency, which in turn helps in improving the performance of the photovoltaic concentrator, resulting in an improvement in the efficiency of the solar cell.

Comparison of airway pressure release ventilation with low tidal volume ventilation in patients with acute respiratory failure
Authors: Paneru Hem Raj , Acharya Subhash Prasad , Marhatta Moda Nath
Published: February 2023

Background and aims:Acute respiratory failure (ARF) frequently requires invasive mechanical ventilation. Though low tidal volume ventilation has improved outcome of these patients, mortality is still high. We aimed to assess whether the use of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) results in better oxygenation compared to Low Tidal Volume (LTV) ventilation in patients with ARF.

Methods: Patients with ARF requiring mechanical ventilation were randomized into either APRV or LTV ventilation. PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 ratio were recorded and compared between the groups for the assessment of effect on oxygenation.

Results: Two hundred and two patients were included in the study with 101 patients in each group. Baseline oxygenation status, APACHE II scores, and demographic parameters were similar in both the groups. PaO2 values at the time of admission (73.73 ± 22.23 mmHg in APRV group and 75.13 ± 20.43 mmHg in LTV group; p = 0.643), at 24 hours (176.21 ± 50.70 vs 180.62 ± 53.19 mmHg; p = 0.547) and at 72 hours (208.17 ± 61.20 vs 211.36 ± 50.89 mmHg; p = 0.688) were similar between the groups. The mean values of PaO2/FiO2 ratio at 0, 24, and 72 hours were 178.67 ± 55.51 vs 186.09 ± 53.34, 285.87 ± 69.08 vs 290.95 ± 63.56, and 288.95 ± 71.51 vs 283.78 ± 59.13 mmHg respectively in APRV and LTV groups.

Одним з оптимальних шляхів задоволення потреб щодо всебічно підготовлених фахівців як випускників вищого закладу освіти, так і замовників, є застосування компетентнісного підходу до їх підготовки з фахових дисциплін у вищій школі. У ході дослідження з’ясовано, що немає ґрунтовних праць, які висвітлюють різні аспекти означеної проблеми. Це спричинило несформованість цілісного осмислення окресленої проблеми як у загальнотеоретичному, так і в конкретно-практичному контексті. Динаміка сучасних суспільних процесів вимагає більш детального аналізу формування професійної компетентності бакалаврів електроніки в ринкових умовах, що змінюються.

The work considers individual factors influencing the deposit policy of Ukrainian banks during the two periods of the aggression of the Russian Federation in the east of Ukraine and the occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (2014-2021) and the full-scale invasion (2022). The specified period in particular is characterized by radical and mostly successful reforms carried out in the banking system of Ukraine which affected its stable operation during the period of hostilities. The article examines the influence of the NBU Key Policy Rate on the formation of the deposit policy of banks depending on the terms of placement of funds in national and foreign currencies, the general trends of the deposit policy of banks regarding the establishment of interest rates on deposits during the period of military operations on the territory of Ukraine are determined. The volume of funds raised in the economy was studied, trends were established regarding changes in the resources raised and factors of influence from the state and banks on certain sectors of the economy which contributed to the preservation and growth of the deposit portfolio during 2014-2021. An analysis of interest rates on raised household deposits was carried out which make up the largest share of all involved bank resources. It has been established that individuals have changed their priorities reorienting themselves from long-term placement of their own funds to short-term ones or have refused to place term deposits altogether. The influence of the discount rate on the deposit policy of banks during the period of full-scale war is studied. It was established that the effect of external factors was decisive in this period and the influence of the NBU Key Policy Rate was insignificant. The work also determines the impact of decisions made by the state authorities of Ukraine and the National Bank on the volume of resources involved during the period of a full-scale invasion in 2022.
