Research on Financial Strategy and Financial Capability of Grassroots Power Supply Enterprises Based on Stochastic Matrix Model
Authors: Yao Zhenyu
Published: August 2022

On the basis of the generation, evolution, and development of the basic power supply enterprise’s financial core competence, this article determines the connotation and essence of the basic power supply enterprise’s financial core competence, so as to play a guiding role in fully and correctly grasping the basic power supply enterprise financial core competence. This article focuses on the formation mechanism and factors of the financial core competence of grassroots power supply enterprises and reviews the latest research hotspots and their theoretical significance in academia. By applying the random matrix model to evaluate the core financial capabilities of grassroots power supply enterprises, it proposes a path for cultivating and improving the core financial capabilities of grassroots power supply enterprises. Through a detailed and powerful discussion, it is possible to effectively improve the financial management efficiency of grassroots power supply enterprises and quickly adapt to the needs of market changes, so as to meet the interests of relevant stakeholders of grassroots power supply enterprises as much as possible. Considering the market competition environment, it is found that the positive relationship between corporate responsibility information disclosure and the degree of earnings management is only significant in low-competitive markets, which also shows that with the intensification of market competition, the degree of information asymmetry decreases. The ability of power supply is also increasing, which will weaken the mechanism of grassroots power supply enterprises to conceal earnings management behavior through corporate responsibility information disclosure. The results show that corporate responsibility information may become a tool to cover up the management of grassroots power supply enterprises to manipulate earnings and reduce the quality of earnings reports, and this behavior will be different in grassroots power supply enterprises with different characteristics and external environments. This will help to form an objective understanding of corporate responsibility information disclosure behaviors, identify the motives of grassroots power supply companies’ responsible behaviors for regulators, standardize corporate responsibility disclosure norms, and take differentiated measures for different situations.

Published: August 2022

Background. As a traditional Chinese exercise, Qigong has potential benefits for the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This overview is aimed at assessing the existing evidence for the intervention of Qigong in COPD so as to provide scientific guidance for clinical decision‐making. Methods. The systematic reviews (SRs)/meta‐analyses (MAs) of Qigong for the treatment of COPD were obtained from 7 electronic databases with the search date set at April 5, 2022. Two researchers independently assessed the methodological quality, reporting quality, and evidence quality for the included SRs/MAs using the following tools: the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR‐2), the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses 2020 (PRISMA 2020), and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Results. A total of 13 SRs/MAs were included in this overview. All SRs/MAs assessed by AMSTAR‐2 had more than one critical defect, so all SR/MAs were rated very low. Regarding the assessment of reporting quality, the results of PRISMA 2020 showed that none of the SRs/MAs were fully reported. In addition, the results of the GRADE assessment of the quality of evidence indicated that only 3 outcomes were rated as high quality across all SRs/MAs. Conclusion. Current evidence suggests that Qigong is effective and safe for the management of patients with COPD. However, the high risk of bias in the original clinical studies and the low quality of the SRs/MAs reduced the reliability of the results.

Authors: Liu Xiaolun , Zhang Hui
Published: August 2022

The purpose is to conform to the development of the times and study a new way of urban community network governance. First, the ways of governance, social governance, urban community governance, and urban community network governance are discussed. Next, the intelligent sensor function of Internet of things (IoT) technology is applied to realize the communication between IoT and urban community network governance. An urban community network governance system based on an intelligent sensor network is established. The system combines Kalman filtering to realize the dynamic monitoring of the mobile Application (APP) of the urban community residents and can update and process the collected information in real time. Finally, a survey is conducted on the satisfaction of residents of a community in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, in 2019 on community network governance under the IoT. The efficiency and ability of urban community network governance under different network modes are compared and analyzed. The results show that the community has improved the needs of community residents through IoT network governance in multiple aspects, but the community service level of culture is not high. The community needs to strengthen the network publicity of community culture to improve the cultural level of the community. Meanwhile, in urban community governance, the comprehensive governance ability of the network governance model under network organization management is the highest, with an average of 50.93%. It shows that the established system is beneficial to the construction of urban community network governance. This exploration provides the direction for the IoT urban community network governance and constructs the urban community network governance system based on the intelligent sensor network.

Published: August 2022

Introduction. Stillbirth has been documented as an outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy. Placental hypoperfusion and inflammation secondary to maternal immune response seem to play a role in the cascade of events that contribute to fetal death. The aim of our study is to report a perinatal outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy adding information to the pool of data on COVID-19 pregnancy outcomes. Case Presentation. This is the first stillbirth case series occurring in pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 in a Portuguese cohort. Between April 2020 and March 2021, we had 2680 births in our centre, of which 130 (4.95%) involved mothers infected with SARS-CoV-2. Of total births, there were 14 stillbirths (0.52%), accounting for the highest stillbirth rate we have had in the last 5 years. Among these 14 stillbirths, 5 (35.71%) occurred in SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers. We report the clinical features and placental histopathologic findings of 4 stillbirth cases that occurred in our hospital. Discussion. The stillbirth rate among SARS-CoV-2-infected pregnant women (5/130; 3.84%) was significantly increased compared to noninfected patients (9/2550; 0.35%). Most women (3/4) were asymptomatic for COVID-19, a surprising outcome, given the current literature. All cases had histologic exams showing placental signs of vascular malperfusion, although we acknowledge that 3/5 had obstetric conditions related to placental vascular impairment such as preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. Conclusion. Stillbirth can be a perinatal consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy, even in asymptomatic patients. We urge more studies to explore the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the risk of stillbirth.

Published: August 2022

Various canister candidate materials (SS316L, Ti-Gr.2, Alloy 22, and Cu) were studied using groundwater at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) underground research tunnel (KURT), with the addition of chloride ions using different electrochemical techniques. The corrosion potential and corrosion current of test materials were obtained by the polarization measurement. The polarization measurements revealed that the addition of chloride ions was detrimental to the SS316L and Cu materials by increasing corrosion current, which is an indicator of corrosion rate. Impedance measurements and fitting analysis showed that the corrosion resistance of Cu was more than 10 times lower than that of other materials in the KURT groundwater solution containing 0.1 M of chloride ions.
The Rise of “Internet of Things”: Review and Open Research Issues Related to Detection and Prevention of IoT-Based Security Attacks
Authors: Shafiq Muhammad , Gu Zhaoquan , Cheikhrouhou Omar , Alhakami Wajdi , Hamam Habib
Published: August 2022

This paper provides an extensive and complete survey on the process of detecting and preventing various types of IoT-based security attacks. It is designed for software developers, researchers, and practitioners in the Internet of Things field who aim to understand the process of detecting and preventing these attacks. For each entry identified from the list, a brief description is provided along with references where more information can be found. However, We surveyed the current state-of-the-art IoT security solutions and focused on four main aspects: (1) handpicking representative attacks, (2) identifying potential solutions, (3) performing a threat analysis for each attack and solution, and (4) ranking solutions according to the threats they overcome. By adopting this framework, we identified five main categories of defense mechanisms: distributed denial of service detection/prevention, default password protection, encryption mechanisms, intrusion detection/prevention, and anomaly detection. These solutions are relatively mature in terms of utility and usability. However, the security analysis is conducted only concerning specific attacks, which may or may not be relevant to real-world deployment. Appropriate IoT security solutions should incorporate threat modeling while considering other factors such as resource consumption and implementation effort. Overall, evaluation of IoT security solutions is arduous due to the complexity of IoT OSes, heterogeneous IoT devices (e.g., various hardware platforms), limited availability of open-source codebases, and restrictive policies towards intellectual property disclosure. In addition, we note that there remains a lack of studies that perform a systematic evaluation of the state-of-the-art in terms of both frameworks/methodologies and mechanisms proposed.

Published: August 2022

New media has gradually become the mainstream media that college students rely on, and new media has also brought about subversive changes and has become an essential medium for college students to receive and disseminate information, such as learning, interpersonal communication, and entertainment. Young college students have become the most enthusiastic recipients and users of new media. College students need to have the ability to recognize, understand, and criticize new media. New media literacy has become the basic quality that every college student living in modern society must have. This paper takes 826 college students as the research object with deep neural network (DNN), and then analyzes their media selection tendency, media usage time, positive influence, and the relationship with new media literacy. The formation of good new media literacy has a positive effect and influence on the work and study after the university, making it the main force of the media society.

Authors: Aljahdaly Noufe H. , Alharbi Maram A.
Published: August 2022

The damped Kawahara equation (KE) is nonintegrable equation and does not have analytical integration. In this work, the powerful numerical method, which is the reduce differential transformation method (RDTM), is devoted to solve the damped KE. The accuracy of the method is proved. The results are compared with the different numerical methods. The numerical solution is axi-symmetric wave and shows the effect of damping term successfully. We confirmed that the RDTM is useful for solving nonintegrable equations.

Published: August 2022

For precision medicine to reach its full potential for treatment of cancer and other diseases, protein variant effect prediction tools are needed to characterize variants of unknown significance (VUS) in a patient's genome with respect to their likelihood to influence treatment response and outcomes. However, the performance of most variant prediction tools is limited by the difficulty of acquiring sufficient training and validation data. To overcome these limitations, we applied an iterative active learning approach starting from available biochemical, evolutionary, and functional annotations. With active learning, VUS that are most challenging to classify by an initial machine learning model are functionally evaluated and then reincorporated with the phenotype information in subsequent iterations of algorithm training. The potential of active learning to improve variant interpretation was first demonstrated by applying it to synthetic and deep mutational scanning datasets for four cancer-relevant proteins. The utility of the approach to guide interpretation and functional validation of tumor VUS was then probed on the nucleotide excision repair (NER) protein xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XPA), a potential biomarker for cancer therapy sensitivity. A quantitative high-throughput cell-based NER activity assay was used to validate XPA VUS selected by the active learning strategy. In all cases, active learning yielded a significant improvement in variant effect predictions over traditional learning. These analyses suggest that active learning is well suited to significantly improve interpretation of VUS and cancer patient genomes.

Significance:

A novel machine learning approach predicts the impact of tumor mutations on cellular phenotypes, overcomes limited training data, minimizes costly functional validation, and advances efforts to implement cancer precision medicine.
Estrogen Receptor Alpha Gene Amplification Is an Independent Predictor of Long-Term Outcome in Postmenopausal Patients with Endocrine-Responsive Early Breast Cancer

Published: August 2022

Purpose:

Estrogen receptor (ER) expression is a prognostic parameter in breast cancer, and a prerequisite for the use of endocrine therapy. In ER+ early breast cancer, however, no receptor-associated biomarker exists that identifies patients with a particularly favorable outcome. We have investigated the value of ESR1 amplification in predicting the long-term clinical outcome in tamoxifen-treated postmenopausal women with endocrine-responsive breast cancer.

Experimental Design:

394 patients who had been randomized into the tamoxifen-only arm of the prospective randomized ABCSG-06 trial of adjuvant endocrine therapy with available formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue were included in this analysis. IHC ERα expression was evaluated both locally and in a central lab using the Allred score, while ESR1 gene amplification was evaluated by FISH analysis using the ESR1/CEP6 ratio indicating focal copy number alterations.

Results:

Focal ESR1 copy-number elevations (amplifications) were detected in 187 of 394 (47%) tumor specimens, and were associated with a favorable outcome: After a median follow-up of 10 years, women with intratumoral focal ESR1 amplification had a significantly longer distant recurrence-free survival [adjusted HR, 0.48; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.26–0.91; P = 0.02] and breast cancer–specific survival (adjusted HR 0.47; 95% CI, 0.27–0.80; P = 0.01) as compared with women without ESR1 amplification. IHC ERα protein expression, evaluated by Allred score, correlated significantly with focal ESR1 amplification (P < 0.0001; χ2 test), but was not prognostic by itself.

Conclusions:

Focal ESR1 amplification is an independent and powerful predictor for long-term distant recurrence-free and breast cancer–specific survival in postmenopausal women with endocrine-responsive early-stage breast cancer who received tamoxifen for 5 years.

Published: August 2022

Purpose:

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in general have shown poor efficacy in bladder cancer. The purpose of this project was to determine whether photodynamic therapy (PDT) with bladder cancer–specific porphyrin-based PLZ4-nanoparticles (PNP) potentiated ICI.

Experimental Design:

SV40 T/Ras double-transgenic mice bearing spontaneous bladder cancer and C57BL/6 mice carrying syngeneic bladder cancer models were used to determine the efficacy and conduct molecular correlative studies.

Results:

PDT with PNP generated reactive oxygen species, and induced protein carbonylation and dendritic cell maturation. In SV40 T/Ras double-transgenic mice carrying spontaneous bladder cancer, the median survival was 33.7 days in the control, compared with 44.8 (P = 0.0123), 52.6 (P = 0.0054), and over 75 (P = 0.0001) days in the anti-programmed cell death-1 antibody (anti-PD-1), PNP PDT, and combination groups, respectively. At Day 75 when all mice in other groups died, only 1 in 7 mice in the combination group died. For the direct anti-tumor activity, compared with the control, the anti-PD-1, PNP PDT, and combination groups induced a 40.25% (P = 0.0003), 80.72% (P < 0.0001), and 93.03% (P < 0.0001) tumor reduction, respectively. For the abscopal anticancer immunity, the anti-PD-1, PNP PDT, and combination groups induced tumor reduction of 45.73% (P = 0.0001), 54.92% (P < 0.0001), and 75.96% (P < 0.0001), respectively. The combination treatment also diminished spontaneous and induced lung metastasis. Potential of immunotherapy by PNP PDT is multifactorial.

Conclusions:

In addition to its potential for photodynamic diagnosis and therapy, PNP PDT can synergize immunotherapy in treating locally advanced and metastatic bladder cancer. Clinical trials are warranted to determine the efficacy and toxicity of this combination.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Our purpose was to investigate binaural integration for spectrally degraded speech in normal-hearing (NH) subjects, single-sided deafness (SSD) cochlear implant (CI) recipients, and bilateral deaf bilateral CI recipients. Methods: We tested ten adult subjects in each group with a modified version of the binaural fusion test according to Matzker. Speech recognition was assessed for monotic listening with the better-hearing ear or CI, monotic listening with the poorer-hearing ear or CI, and dichotic listening. We employed two presentation modes: (1) low pass (LP)-filtered speech to the better ear or CI and high pass (HP)-filtered speech to the poorer ear or CI, and (2) LP-filtered speech to the poorer ear or CI and HP-filtered speech to the better ear or CI. Five magnitudes of LP and HP filtering, i.e., spectral degradation, for each presentation mode were applied yielding two spectrally overlapping and three nonoverlapping presentation conditions. Sentences from the Oldenburg Children’s sentence test were applied to assess speech recognition. Results: NH subjects, SSD CI recipients, and bilateral CI recipients were able to understand spectrally degraded speech under both monotic and dichotic listening conditions for both the presentation modes. Speech performance decreased with the increasing loss of spectral information in all the three subject groups. In the NH subjects, speech recognition scores significantly improved for dichotic compared with each monotic listening type under two spectrally nonoverlapping conditions. The SSD CI subjects showed a significant improvement in speech scores for dichotic listening compared with monotic listening with the NH ear under one nonoverlapping condition, i.e., a dichotic benefit in speech recognition with CI. We saw a dichotic benefit in the bilateral CI recipients who achieved significantly better speech scores for dichotic compared with monotic listening with the better CI in three nonoverlapping conditions. Conclusions: All the three groups (NH subjects, SSD CI recipients, and BiCI recipients) showed binaural integration for the side-separated presentation of spectrally degraded speech. Use of strictly side-separated dichotic stimulus presentation avoided the possible occurrence of physical effects such as the head shadow effect and therefore, confirmed the binaural benefit attributable to central binaural processing.
The Prevalence of JAK2 Exon 12 Mutations in Vietnamese Patients with JAK2 V617F-Negative Polycythemia Vera: Frequent or Rare?
Authors: Ngoc Nguyen Thy , Linh Nguyen Thuy , Xuan Nguyen Thi
Published: August 2022

Purpose: Polycythemia vera is a hematological malignancy characterized by the overproduction of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Pathogenesis of polycythemia vera was thought to be caused by genetic mutations of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene, especially the JAK2 V617F and exon 12 mutations, since those mutations were found frequently in the patients. The prevalence of JAK2 exon 12 mutations among polycythemia vera patients in Vietnam has not been studied yet. Objectives: The overall study objective was to investigate the frequency of JAK2 exon 12 mutations among V617F-negative polycythemia vera patients in Vietnam. Methods: In this study, the occurrence of these mutations was investigated in a clinical population of 76 Vietnamese polycythemia vera patients by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and Sanger sequencing. Results: The result showed that 53 of the patients were V617F-positive, and in 23 V617F-negative patients, only four individuals carried two JAK2 exon 12 mutations. Analysis by different in silico tools predicted that all the two exon 12 mutations detected in this study (JAK2 c.1592A>G; p.H531R and c.1616A>G p.K539R) were benign. Conclusion: These results suggested that the causative mutations in this V617F-negative subgroup might be located in another genetic region, and mutations in exon 12 might not be as common among the V617F-negative polycythemia vera patients as thought.

A educação sob censura: articulações discursivas na circulação midiática da expressão “ideologia de gênero”
Authors: Scabin Nara Lya Cabral
Published: August 2022

Este artigo discute as articulações discursivas implicadas na circulação midiática da expressão “ideologia de gênero” em contexto brasileiro, partindo de textos publicados no jornal Folha de S.Paulo. Contextualiza a circulação do termo, destacando episódios recentes em que o Supremo Tribunal Federal decidiu pela inconstitucionalidade de iniciativas municipais que buscavam cercear debates sobre identidade e diversidade de gênero em escolas, e aponta sentidos acionados em sua mobilização. Nesse percurso, o trabalho invoca conceitos da análise do discurso para compreender as estratégias discursivas engendradas em tomadas da categoria “ideologia de gênero”, evidenciando que, a partir de falsas simetrias em relação a discursos do campo científico, os usos da expressão levam à desancoragem de conceitos – em especial, o conceito de gênero – de seu contexto referencial de origem.

Authors: Vicente Leandro Raphael , Weschenfelder Gelson Vanderlei
Published: August 2022

A recente implementação de uma Base Nacional Comum Curricular trouxe diversas mudanças na prática pedagógica e organização curricular, a exemplo dos itinerários formativos, que em São Paulo são caracterizados principalmente pelas disciplinas eletivas. Com isso, crianças e adolescentes passam a ter a opção de escolher qual disciplina irão estudar, segundo seus próprios interesses e demandas sociais. A fim de promover o protagonismo juvenil diante do contexto midiático e suas problemáticas, desenvolveu-se, em 2018, a disciplina Filosofando em Quadrinhos, que permitiu a produção autoral de HQs pelos alunos de modo crítico, responsável e consciente. Em vista disso, este trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar possíveis práticas educomunicativas por meio das eletivas.

Modelos não adversariais de solução de conflitos sob o prisma da Administração Pública consensual
Authors: Borges Grazielly Almeida
Published: August 2022

De acordo com a concepção de Administração Pública Consensual, o modelo de Administração impositiva vem sendo cada vez mais substituído pela noção de direito à boa governança à luz de uma gestão mais participativa e democrática. Considerando que a litigância excessiva do Estado se mostra como um desafio a ser enfrentado, a adoção de meios não adversariais de resolução de conflitos atenderia aos anseios sociais de participação, desafogaria o judiciário e resultaria em economia de recursos e eficiência na gestão dos conflitos por parte da Administração Pública.

A análise dos dados valeu-se dos métodos dedutivo, partindo da tese mais ampla de que a melhoria do Poder Judiciário depende da redução da litigiosidade excessiva do próprio Estado até alcançar a particularidade do acordo ou solução não adversarial; histórico-evolutivo, de modo a analisar brevemente os modelos antecedentes do objeto de estudo e dialético, ao analisar a compatibilidade do acordo com a indisponibilidade do interesse público e os parâmetros a serem seguidos na busca do consenso; sendo a pesquisa bibliográfica a técnica utilizada.
A Frente Intensiva de Avaliação Regulatória e Concorrencial: projeto de indução exógena de regulação responsiva ou fonte de conflito interinstitucional?
Authors: Roquete Felipe Leitão Valadares
Published: August 2022

Resumo: A criação da Frente Intensiva de Avaliação Regulatória e Concorrencial (Fiarc), vinculada à Secretaria de Advocacia da Concorrência e Competitividade do Ministério da Economia (Seae/ME), agrega complexidade ao cenário institucional brasileiro. Em uma conjuntura na qual Poder Judiciário, Poder Executivo, Agências Reguladoras, Poder Legislativo e Tribunal de Contas da União têm conduzido ações que impactam o ambiente regulatório, a atuação da Fiarc, ao levar a cabo iniciativas que visam à avaliação da qualidade de atos regulatórios regularmente emitidos, pode vir a induzir exogenamente a adoção de estratégias regulatórias baseadas na persuasão e na negociação. No entanto, conclui-se aqui que, devido (i) às características do desenho institucional da Fiarc e (ii) às dificuldades inerentes à operacionalização dos instrumentos da regulação responsiva, os resultados efetivos dependerão, em grande medida, da forma de implementação dos instrumentos à disposição da Fiarc, uma vez que há riscos, não desprezíveis, de surgirem (ou se reforçarem) conflitos interinstitucionais.

Objective:

Little research has examined the physical and mental comorbidities, and health service use patterns, of people diagnosed with psychotic disorder subtypes other than schizophrenia spectrum disorders. This study aims to examine the physical and mental comorbidities, and subsequent hospital service use patterns, of individuals previously hospitalised with various psychotic disorder subtypes using linked health service data.

Methods:

We included individuals hospitalised with a psychotic disorder in New South Wales, Australia, between 1 July 2002 and 31 December 2014 (N = 63,110). We examined the demographic profile of the cohort and rates of subsequent acute hospital care and ambulatory mental health service use. We compared the rates of subsequent hospital admissions, emergency department presentations and ambulatory mental health treatment days of people hospitalised with different psychotic disorder subtypes to people hospitalised with schizophrenia spectrum disorders using Poisson regression.

Results:

People most recently hospitalised with mood/affective disorders and psychotic symptoms had a higher rate of subsequent hospital admissions than those most recently hospitalised with schizophrenia spectrum and delusional disorders (adjusted incident rate ratio = 1.06; 95% confidence interval = [1.02, 1.10]), while people most recently hospitalised with drug-induced and other organic (adjusted incident rate ratio = 1.19; 95% confidence interval = [1.12, 1.27]) and acute psychotic disorders (adjusted incident rate ratio = 1.10; 95% confidence interval = [1.03, 1.18]) had more subsequent emergency department presentations than those most recently hospitalised with schizophrenia spectrum and delusional disorders. All three groups had fewer subsequent mental health ambulatory days than those most recently hospitalised with schizophrenia spectrum and delusional disorders (adjusted incident rate ratios = 0.85–0.91).

Conclusion:

The health profiles and subsequent hospital service use patterns of people previously hospitalised with different psychotic disorder subtypes are heterogeneous, and research is needed to develop targeted health policies to meet their specific health needs.

The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated quarantines in many urban settings, and rules have been enforced to ensure that citizens are complying with health-related mandates. However, anecdotal and empirical evidence confirm the prevalence of policy transgressions. Non-compliance with COVID-19 mandates can have severe consequences for individual health, societal fear, and the global economy. Thus, it is important to better understand the etiology of such misbehavior in the hopes of ensuring policy adherence. Using Agnew’s social concern theory as a conceptual framework, this study investigates quarantine-related misbehavior in the urban context of Rasht, Iran. Survey data of 393 university students indicate that social concern theory can explain quarantine-related misbehavior. Specific findings, implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

Published: August 2022

Despite a human schistosomiasis control programme through praziquantel mass drug administration (MDA) between 2011 and 2015,there was still persistent transmission among primary schoolchildren (PSC) in Mkuranga district, Tanzania. Our cross-sectional study was conducted among 396 PSC who provided urine for diagnosis of Schistosoma haematobium infection. Observations were conducted to determine PSC water contact activities. Logistic regression was used to test association between dependent and independent variables. We found MDA uptake among PSC as 72.5%, and the prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium infection 5.8%. The risk of infection increased among PSC engaged in fetching water and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for swimming, bathing, fishing, crossing ponds and paddy fields were 0.123, 0.166, 0.232, 0.202 and 0.093 respectively. Thus we conclude that multiple water contact activities and low participation in MDA is responsible for persistent Schistosoma transmission.
An appraisal of the referral system and outcome for obstetric patients referred to a tertiary centre
Authors: Jeeana Sundeep , Naidoo Thinagrin Dhasarathun
Published: August 2022

The existing referral system from primary institutions to higher institutions within our health district for obstetric patients has not been subjected to any analysis of shortcomings. We therefore made an assessment of resultant adverse maternal, foetal and neonatal outcomes by a prospective observational cohort study done over a 6-month period at a tertiary centre. Data were collected from 317 patients. We found an important failure to identify high risk patients at primary institutions. This resulted in an increased overall adverse outcome five-fold, adverse maternal outcome seven-fold, adverse neonatal outcome six-fold and stillbirth four-fold. Ongoing training and use of updated guidelines are our urgent recommendations.
Bacteriological profile of paediatric skin and soft tissue infections and their antibiogram at a tertiary care teaching hospital in north India

Published: August 2022

The increasing complexity of wound care in pediatric patients along with delay in the initiation of treatment predisposes these patients to many complications such as pressure ulcers, non-healing surgical wounds and skin damage. A retrospective study was conducted over a period of five years to gain insight into the etiology of pediatric wound infection. A total of 2819 wound culture positive cases were included. Most samples were from the burn ward (30.15%) followed by the general surgery ward (20.46%). Overall, the most common isolate was Staphylococcus aureus (39.73%) followed by Pseudomonas spp (19.12%). The prevalence of MRSA (Methicillin resistant S. aureus), CRE (Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae), CRP (Carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas), CRAB (Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii) was 47.3%, 62.5%, 70.5%, 96.4%, respectively. The high degree of resistance in children highlights the importance of regular surveillance for identification of common pathogens and optimization of antimicrobial treatment for multidrug resistant organisms.
Hybrid Data Competencies for Municipal Civil Servants: An Empirical Analysis of the Required Competencies for Data-Driven Decision-Making
Authors: Dingelstad J. , Borst R. T. , Meijer A.
Published: August 2022

This study focuses on an important yet often neglected topic in public personnel competency studies: competencies required for digital government. It addresses the question: Which competencies do civil servants need for data-driven decision-making (DDDM) in local governments? Empirical data are obtained through a combination of 12 expert interviews and 22 Behavioral Event Interviews. Our analysis shows that DDDM as observed in this study is a hybrid process that contains elements of both “traditional” and “data-driven” decision-making. We identified eight competencies that are required in this process: data literacy, critical thinking, teamwork, domain expertise, data analytical skills, engaging stakeholders, innovativeness, and political astuteness. These competencies are also hybrid: a combination of more “traditional” (e.g., political astuteness) and more “innovative” (e.g., data literacy) competencies. We conclude that local governments need to invest resources in developing or selecting these competencies among their employees, to exploit the possibilities data offers in a responsible way.
Improving trajectory tracking performance of autonomous farming vehicles using adaptive extended state observer and finite-time technique
Authors: Zhang Ting , Jiao Xiaohong , Wang Zhong , Lin Zhanmeng
Published: August 2022

The ability of the autonomous farming vehicle to accurately and quickly track complex reference trajectories in the field is critical to crop yields and farmer incomes. The novelty of this paper is to design a new adaptive finite-time trajectory tracking control strategy with an adaptive extended state observer to improve the autonomous farming vehicle’s trajectory tracking accuracy and convergence speed in the complex farm operating environment. The adaptive extended state observer is constructed to deal with the slip disturbance and parameter uncertainty to improve the tracking accuracy. The finite-time control strategy is adopted to improve the convergence speed of the trajectory tracking of the autonomous farming vehicle. The effectiveness and advantages of the proposed control strategy are verified by comparing it with the active disturbance rejection control and traditional PID control strategies under MATLAB/Simulink environment.
First Preliminary Report on the Excavations in the Ka-Temple of Pepi I in Tell Basta/Bubastis: The Discovery of a Residential Building of the Fourth and Fifth Dynasties
Authors: Lange-Athinodorou Eva , Es-Senussi Ashraf
Published: August 2022

In the seasons 2018 and 2019, the Tell Basta-Project started archaeological fieldwork in the Ka-temple of Pepi I at Bubastis, probably the centre of the city in the Sixth Dynasty. Although Habachi discovered the temple already in 1939, considerable parts of the building remained unexcavated. Furthermore, nothing was known about its underlying strata. During two seasons, remains of a large building appeared under the temple of Pepi I, displaying columned yards and rooms as well as facilities for food processing and storage. Based on its architectural remains, the building, that underwent several changes, could be interpreted as a provincial palace. According to the pottery associated with the stages of the structure, it was in use at least from the middle of the Fourth until the end of the Fifth Dynasty. At the beginning of the Sixth Dynasty, the Ka-temple of Pepi I was erected on the levelled remains of the provincial palace.

The development of natural-based wound dressings is of great interest in the field of skin tissue engineering. Herein, different bioactive molecules such as gelatin (GEL), chitosan (CH) and mucilage (MU) were used to prepare a wound dressing. The physico-chemical and biological characterizations occurring after γ-irradiation were investigated. Results showed that Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of un-irradiated GEL-CH-MU biomaterial showed two paramagnetic centers which correspond to g = 1.89 and g = 2.033. A generated new active center appeared at g = 2.003 at 25 kGy due to the interactions of gamma rays with the polymer chain creating signals at the absorbing functional groups. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra preserved the semi-crystalline structures between a range of 2θ (5° and 45°). Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that the initiation of cross linking phenomena. Moreover, γ-rays significantly increased antioxidant activity (9.1 ± 0.07%, p < 0.05) and exhibited a high anti-inflammatory activity (70%) at 25 kGy. Significant antibacterial activities in vitro liquid medium was observed. In addition GEL-CH-MU dressing exhibited high hemocompatibility. Conducted investigations state that such innovative dressing natural-based polymers for advanced wound care may be considered as useful for biomedical purposes.
