New decision rules under strict uncertainty and a general distance-based approach
Authors: Salas-Molina Francisco , Pla-Santamaria David , Vercher-Ferrandiz Maria Luisa , Garcia-Bernabeu Ana
Published: April 2023

Strict uncertainty implies a complete lack of knowledge about the probabilities of possible future states of the world. However, there is complete information about the set of alternatives under consideration, the set of future states, and the scalar evaluation of choosing every alternative if a given state occurs. The principle of insufficient reason by Laplace, the maximin rule by Wald, the Hurwicz criterion, or the minimax regret criterion by Savage are examples of decision rules under strict uncertainty. Within the context of strict uncertainty, moderate pessimism implies the existence of a decision-maker who cautiously assumes that the most favorable state will not occur when the action has been taken with no conjecture being made about the other states. The criterion of moderate pessimism proposed by Ballestero implies the use of the inverse of the range of evaluation for each state as a weight system. In this paper, we extend the notion of moderate pessimism under strict uncertainty to solve some of its limitations. First, we propose a new domination analysis that avoids removing dominated alternatives that are still relevant in the final ranking of alternatives. Second, we propose additional score functions using the inverse of the standard deviation and the mean absolute deviation instead of the range of evaluations for each future state to reduce the impact of the possible existence of outliers in the decision table. This partial result is later generalized through the concept of average deviation of a given order. Finally, we show that all the mentioned decision rules are special cases of a general ranking method based on the Minkowski distance function. We illustrate the use of distance-based decision rules through an application in the context of portfolio selection.
An Overview of the Data Science Process and Data Analytics Within Organisations
Authors: Mohammed Jamil Mohammad Izzuddin
Published: April 2023

This paper attempts to conceptualise the concept of data analytics for both MSMEs and large corporations. Data analytics enable organisations to learn how customers think and behave in real time, and make changes to their business as a consequence, using real-time insights about the customer base. The various misconceptions on data analytics, especially in organisational context, warrants the writing of this paper. Present day organisations are already under immense pressure due to increasingly competitive and hostile environments, and by utilizing data analytics may give them that extra edge over competitors in order to survive and grow. The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of data analytics, and propose a conceptual framework to showcase the data science process as well as some of the most well-known and useful features of data analytics. This chapter also attempts to synthesise the various jargons for organisations to easily comprehend step-by-step, from data collection to producing useful data in order for them to enable informed decision-makings.

Comparison of the pericapsular nerve group block with the intra-articular and quadratus lumborum blocks in primary total hip arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Et Tayfun , Korkusuz Muhammet
Published: April 2023

Background: The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, quadratus lumborum block (QLB), and intra-articular (IA) local anesthetic injection have been shown to provide effective analgesia in total hip arthroplasty (THA). This randomized study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy, motor protection, and quality of recovery associated with the PENG block, QLB, and IA injection.Methods: Eighty-nine patients who underwent a unilateral primary THA under spinal anesthesia were randomly assigned to the PENG (n=30), QLB (n=30), or IA (n=29) group. The primary outcome was the numerical rating scale (NRS) score over the first 48 h postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were postoperative opioid consumption, quadriceps and adductor muscle strength, and quality of recovery (QoR-40). Results: The dynamic (with movement) NRS scores at 3 and 6 h postoperatively were significantly lower in the PENG and QLB groups compared to the IA group (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001, respectively). The time to first opioid analgesia requirement was longer in the PENG and QLB groups than in the IA group (P = 0.009 and P = 0.016, respectively). A provided better preservation was found in the the PENG group than in the QLB group in terms of quadriceps muscle strength at 3 h postoperatively (P = 0.007) and time to mobilization (P = 0.003). No significant differences in the QoR-40 scores were seen. Conclusions: The PENG and QLB groups showed similar analgesic effects and both showed more effective analgesia 6 h postoperatively than the IA group. All the groups showed similar postoperative quality of recovery.
Study to Evaluate the Effect of COVID-19 on the Sensory Perception and the Nervous System of an Individual: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Harindra Gaurav , Kour Harpreet , Prabhu Madhav
Published: April 2023

Purpose:

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused temporary or permanent anosmia and ageusia in thousands of people. It was occasionally associated with a loss of nociception in the mouth too. A specific pattern of sensory loss or alteration is imperative to understand and predict the modality of the infection.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was performed, which included 252 participants of all age groups and communities. A questionnaire was circulated on social media through the means of a Google Form. Consent was obtained before posing the participants with questions.

Results:

The sensory loss was found to be the most prevalent in people with mild symptoms. About 65.2% of the participants showed a partial or a total loss in olfaction and 59.5% of them showed a loss in one or more tastes. About 44% of the participants showed a partial or a total loss of nociception. All of the altered sensations came back to normalcy after 2 weeks of the loss of sensation in the majority of the population. Besides the other symptoms, 15.5% of the participants experienced altered mental alertness.

Conclusion:

SARS-CoV-2 infection was found to affect the olfaction, gustation, and nociception in the oral cavity (spice sensation). Mental alertness was also found to be altered in a small fraction of the population affected with SARS-CoV-2.

Authors: Chang Chia-Wei , Chen Shyi-Jou , Wang Der-Shiun , Hsu Chih-Hsiung , Hsu Wan-Fu
Published: April 2023

Background:

Surgical intervention is important for acute appendicitis. Perforated appendicitis leads to more complications and is more difficult to manage. Studies differentiating ruptured from nonruptured appendicitis are controversial.

Aim:

Early identification of perforated appendicitis is important for first-line medical practitioners. Our study aimed to provide more indicators to evaluate the risk of perforation before surgery.

Methods:

This retrospective study included 116 patients who underwent an appendectomy at the Tri-Service General Hospital between 2014 and 2018 with pathological diagnosis. Based on the surgical records, the patients were classified into two groups: simple (nonperforation) and complicated (perforation).

Results:

The patients (68 boys, 48 girls) were all under 18 years of age. Simple appendicitis was diagnosed in 87 patients and perforated appendicitis in 29 patients. Analysis revealed significant differences in blood C-reactive protein (CRP) levels between the two groups. The highest Youden's index was at a CRP level of 1.755 mg/dL. Positive findings were obtained for suppurative change as well as chylous ascites.

Conclusion:

Elevated CRP level was found to be a useful biomarker in predicting perforated appendicitis, excluding other general factors in pediatric patients. Suppurative change and chylous ascites could serve as indicators for the possibility of perforation during surgery.

The goal is to show potential ways, methods and approaches for adapting the international experience in creating a digital platform of the Eurasian Commodity Distribution Network (hereinafter ECDN) of the Eurasian Economic Union and other countries, used to further borrow best practices as a guarantee of food security and a catalyst for export activity. Methods – content analysis, economic and statistical, evaluation and comparison, analytical. Results – technologies and units of UCDN of the EAEU, the Republic of Tajikistan (RT) and the Republic of Uzbekistan (RU) are proposed. The sectors and trends of digitalization of the economy of foreign countries, benefits and risks of this process, which must be taken into account when developing eagriculture of the republic, are considered. The directions, characteristics, areas of application and distribution of digital business processes in agricultural sector are indicated, allowing to increase the added value. An analysis of trends in the information and communication system of the AIC of developed countries confirms that their experience can be successfully used in promoting digital transformation in the agro-industrial complex of the EAEU, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Conclusions – the level of development of the digital platform of the Eurasian commodity distribution network is still at the stage of formation. A fully formed supra-country and effectively operating supra-state Platform has not been identified. Subject to deep economic and political integration of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, the Republic of Tajikistan and the Republic of Uzbekistan, a project of a digital open integrated system for managing the flow of agricultural products on the territory of the EAEU from the manufacturer through the entire logistics cycle to retail can be developed and implemented. Building a single transport and logistics chain, increasing storage capacity, creating a mechanism for managing commodity and material flows will help increase the scale of mutual trade and stimulate exports.

The goal is to identify the relationship between the forecast parameters of the approved budget of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2023-2025, which is formed on the basis of the data of the Forecast of socio-economic development of the country, with the volumes and directions of renewal of agricultural production to be financed. Methods – comparison of calculated levels of dynamics according to the republican budget and information on the amount of allocated finance from budgetary funds intended for state programs. Results – the forecast indicators of the three– year state budget were studied and assessment of the budget money provided to agro-industrial complex, in particular agricultural sector was conducted. The dynamic changes that take place in the process of generating income for the implementation of budgetary management and main types of tax revenues are determined, followed by their comparison with the amounts of cost part by functional groups. The continuity and social orientation of state budget expenditures are noted. The results of the study show that in the dynamics of the budget of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2023-2025 there is a fairly close relationship between classification of costs and budget funds aimed at financing the development program for the AIC, including agricultural sector. Conclusions – on the basis of a detailed comparison of the size, structure, trends in distribution of public resources and budget lending, it is substantiated that reduction in the size of budget allocations with simultaneous decrease in the amount of financing will lead not to the increase, but to the decrease in the gross output of agro-industrial production. Budget investments in agriculture are the integral part in modern conditions, with the help of which the financial stability of the country's agro-industrial complex is achieved.

In Kazakhstan, at the state level, international and public organizations, business companies and agricultural producers plan production of organic products and their promotion in domestic market. However, from economic point of view, without taking into account its real capabilities, it is quite difficult to reduce risks and possible losses. The goal is to calculate the potential volumes of Kazakhstani organic food products. Methods – due to the fact that there are no statistics on the consumption of environmentally friendly products and the likelihood of using most methods, the study is based on its use by certain socio-demographic groups of citizens. The assessment of the capacity of domestic natural food market in this work consists of a chain of successive actions. Results – taking into account the specifics of organic agriculture, consumers were identified, represented by the most affluent segments of the population and families with children, whose consumption level is close to the recommended scientifically based physiological norms. The assortment, price premium and consumer demand for organic products are also shown. Conclusions – market segment was calculated for various categories of environmentally friendly goods and the total potential capacity of the agricultural market, which amounted to 211.5 billion tenge. The data obtained can be used in the future when building a trajectory for the development of the internal market structure, drawing up strategic plans by central and local executive bodies, agricultural producers and other participants in market relations. State financial support for enterprises switching to organic production can be carried out in such forms as concessional lending, public procurement system, provision of subsidies, partial reimbursement of costs.

Authors: Суслов Ю.Е. , Кулакова С.В.
Published: April 2023

Введение: авторами рассматривается проблема предубеждений со стороны персонала учреждений пенитенциарной системы к психологии и ее созидательным возможностям. Цель: на основе обобщения теоретических материалов и анализа практики деятельности пенитенциарных учреждений показать, что в условиях постоянного воздействия количественных и качественных факторов пенитенциарной среды на личность сотрудников от них требуется поддержание состояния постоянной готовности к агрессивным действиям со стороны лиц, находящихся в местах лишения свободы, что без профессионального психологического сопровождения может влиять на процесс адаптации, действия в экстремальных ситуациях и создавать риск развития профессиональных деструкций. Результаты: отношение к неопределенности авторами рассматривается как личностная особенность, лежащая в основе адаптационных процессов и процессов восприятия экстремальности деятельности. На примере специфической профессиональной деятельности сотрудников уголовно-исполнительной системы показано, как проблема предубеждений в отношении психологии повышает экстремальность пенитенциарной деятельности, риск последующих негативных последствий, в частности при адаптации к службе. Выводы: показана схожесть процессов адаптации к служебной деятельности и экстремальным условиям, а также делается акцент на необходимости работы с предубеждениями в отношении психологического сопровождения деятельности сотрудников.

Introduction: in the article, the authors consider the problem of prejudice against psychology and its creative possibilities on the part of the staff of penitentiary institutions. Purpose: based on the generalization of theoretical materials and analysis of the practice of activity in penitentiary institutions to show that in conditions of constant impact of quantitative and qualitative factors of penitentiary activity on the personality of employees, they should be ready for aggressive actions of inmates. Without professional psychological assistance, employees’ adaptation process and behavior in extreme situations can be affected and risks of developing professional destructions can be created. Results: the attitude to uncertainty is considered by the authors as a personality trait underlying adaptation processes and processes to perceive extreme conditions of work. Having considered specific professional activity of penitentiary system employees, the authors show how the problem of prejudice against psychology increases extremity of service and what subsequent negative consequences can be, in particular in the adaptation period. Conclusions: the similarity of the processes of adapting to service activities and extreme conditions is shown, and the emphasis is also placed on the need to work with prejudice against psychological support of employees’ activities.

Já o furfural é uma importante molécula-plataforma derivada de biomassa usada na síntese de solventes, bioaditivos e biocombustíveis. Neste trabalho, o objetivo foi desenvolver catalisadores ativos e seletivos para reações de conversão destes substratos em produtos de maior valor agregado. Para isto, processos catalisados por heteropolissais de Keggin contendo tungstênio e cobalto foram desenvolvidos. Peróxido de hidrogênio, um oxidante inserido na química verde foi utilizado. Os compostos conhecidos como polioxometalatos do tipo Keggin, têm como importante característica a possibilidade de serem facilmente modificados estruturalmente, tornando-se catalisadores versáteis compatíveis com diferentes reações. Uma série de heteropolissais silicotungstatos de potássio e cobalto foram sintetizados e caracterizados. Estes sais foram catalisadores em reações de oxidação de álcoois terpênicos e acetalização do furfural. O alvo principal foi avaliar como a posição do cobalto influencia sua atividade nestas reações. Dentre os vários sais avaliados, o K 6 Co II W 12 O 40 foi o mais ativo e seletivo nas reações de acetalização do furfural com álcoois alquílicos. Experimentalmente verificou-se que este catalisador tornou o meio mais ácido e, portanto, mais propício para a formação do acetal do furfural. Nas reações de oxidação de álcoois terpênicos com H 2 O 2 , aquelas catalisadas pelo K 5 Co III W 12 O 40 atingiram as maiores conversões e seletividade para produtos carbonílicos e epóxidos. Neste caso, o cátion Co 3+ como heteroátomo central favoreceu a estabilidade do intermediário peroxidado, favorecendo tais reações. Estes resultados demonstram como a posição e número de oxidação do cobalto são aspectos fundamentais para sua reatividade. Os resultados catalíticos e de caracterização estrutural obtidos neste trabalho são um marco inicial de estudos que podem levar ao desenvolvimento de materiais cada vez mais eficientes em diferentes reações, além de abrir uma nova abordagem para melhorar sua atividade em tais processos. Além disso, uma nova linha de investigação foi iniciada, usando como catalisador um simples reagente comercialmente, o ácido túngstico (i.e., H 2 WO 4 ). Este catalisador foi avaliado em reações de oxidação de álcoois terpênicos que se mostrou como uma excelente alternativa uma vez que foi muito ativo, possui baixo preço de aquisição e pode ser facilmente reutilizável. Palavras-chave: Polioxometalatos de Keggin. Álcoois terpênicos. Furfural. Ácido túngstico.

The subject of the study is food security of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The purpose of the study is to analyze the level of food security of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The objectives of the study are to assess the level of self–sufficiency in basic agricultural products in accordance with the threshold values of the Food Security Doctrine. The novelty of the study: the position of the region by product categories is determined based on the volume of production and consumption. Conclusions: The Republic of Bashkortostan fully meets its needs for meat and meat products, as well as milk, while being a donor region. In terms of the production of eggs, vegetables and potatoes, the Republic of Bashkortostan is a recipient region. The level of food security in accordance with the Doctrine of Food Security is at an insufficient level. The targets of the strategic plan for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Bashkortostan for 2020 were not achieved in the sector of grain and leguminous crops production.

Practical psychologists and theorists usually consider motivation as an extremely complex controller of behavior and moderator of human activity, a multidimensional, heterogeneous complex of "drivers" interconnected in a non-linear way. The aim of the study was to assess the quality of the motivational aspect of the education process through an analysis of the dynamics of the development of the motivational complex of students during the entire time of study at the university. The study used a classification of learning motives, dividing motives into cognitive ones, formed directly by educational activities, and external, social motives that lie outside of learning. As a research method, we used the method modified by the authors for studying the motives of A. A. Rean and V. S. Yurkevich, adapted for students in higher education. The article describes a series of techniques for developing interest in learning among university students. The results of measuring the level of motivation and the structure of the motivational complex are described and demonstrated. Ideas have been put forward that the level and structure of motivation to study can serve as an indicator of the quality of education. Suggestions for managing the motivational complex are given.

Published: April 2023

Inflammation plays a major role in the initiation, progression & destabilization of atheroma. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive marker of inflammation, and elevated levels have been associated with future risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Risk of coronary heart disease & other forms of atherosclerotic vascular disease rises with plasma cholesterol concentration & in particular the ratio of total cholesterol to high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) cholesterol. Measurement of C- reactive protein (CRP) adds to the predictive value of total cholesterol (TC) and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) in determining subsequent risk of first myocardial infarction. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was undertaken to observe association between high sensitive CRP and lipid profile level with chronic ischaemic heart disease and was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2011. A total 50 cases were selected purposively according to the selection criteria from the patients admitted in the Department of Cardiology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital with chronic ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Diagnosed IHD patients were taken as cases; age- & sex- matched 50 healthy subjects were taken as controls. Serum hsCRP and serum TC, TAG, LDL-C & HDL-C were measured in all study subjects. Results: The mean serum CRP concentration in cases and controls were 11.22+/-7.64 mg/dl and 1.72+/-0.98 mg/dl respectively. Mean serum TC, TAG, HDL-C and LDL-C in cases groups were 314+/-74 mg/dl, 288+/-60 mg/dl, 36+/-4 mg/dl, and 178+/-22 mg/dl respectively and in controls groups were 175+/-19 mg/dl, 118+/-12 mg/dl, 43+/-2 mg/dl & 126+/-11 mg/dl respectively. Serum hsCRP, Total Cholesterol, TAG & LDL-C were significantly higher in cases than control subjects. Serum HDL-C was significantly lower in cases than control subjects. Conclusions: The present study reveals that the patients of chronic ischaemic heart disease have been found to have close association of increased level of hsCRP and lipid profile.
