Authors: Whitner Jangus B. , Fabiili Nicole A. , Siewart Jordan , Akasaka Karen , Nelson Anna
Published: September 2020

Background and Objectives: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most commonly used pain medications among US adults with about 70 million people regularly taking NSAIDs annually. Despite clear recommendations from current clinical practice guidelines and recent supporting literature, NSAIDs are continually prescribed inappropriately in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension (HTN), and heart failure (HF). The purpose of this project was to determine the impact of direct pharmacist-led education to providers on rates of inappropriate prescribing of NSAIDs in high-risk populations in a family medicine setting.
Methods: This study included all adult (aged 18 years or older) patient charts with NSAIDs prescribed, refilled, or recorded within the specified time periods. We defined inappropriate orders as oral and of chronic duration (at least 90 days) with at least one high-risk International Classification of Diseases-10 chart diagnosis (HTN, HF, CKD). This was a single-center, retrospective chart review of prescribing rates during a 3-month period before and after provider education delivered by a pharmacist.
Results: We identified a total of 325 charts from preintervention and 489 charts postintervention that met inclusion criteria. Of those, the charts with orders categorized as inappropriate were 90 versus 44, respectively. The rate of inappropriate prescribing of NSAIDs significantly decreased from 27.7% to 9.0% (P<.0001) postintervention. Among chronic NSAID users, both serum creatinine and systolic blood pressure significantly increased following NSAID initiation.
Conclusions: A single pharmacist-led education intervention to primary care providers on inappropriate NSAID use in high-risk patient populations had a significant impact on minimizing inappropriate NSAID prescribing patterns within a family medicine outpatient office.

Stability of pinned-rotationally restrained arches
Authors: Kiss László
Published: September 2020

The article aims to find the buckling loads for pinned?rotationally restrained shallow circular arches in terms of the rotational end stiffness, geometry and material distribution. The loading is a concentrated vertical force placed at the crown. A geometrically nonlinear model is presented which relates not only the axial force but also the bending moment to the membrane strain. The nonlinear load-strain relationship is established between the strain and load parameters. This equation is then solved and evaluated analytically. It turns out that the stiffness of the end-restraint has, in general, a significant effect on the lowest buckling load. At the same time, some geometries are not affected by this. As the stiffness becomes zero, the arch is pinned-pinned and as the stiffness tends to infinity, the arch behaves as if it were pinned-fixed and has the best load-bearing abilities.
A kinetic evaluation on NO2 formation in the post-flame region of pressurized oxy-combustion process

Published: September 2020

Pressurized oxy-combustion is a promising technology that can significantly re-duce the energy penalty associated with first generation oxy-combustion for CO2 capture in coal-fired power plants. However, higher pressure enhances the production of strong acid gases, including NO2 and SO3, aggravating the corrosion threat during flue gas re-circulation. In the flame region, high temperature NOx exists mainly as NO, while conversion from NO to NO2 happened in post-flame region. In this study, the conversion of NO ? NO2 has been kinetically evaluated under representative post-flame conditions of pressurized oxy-combustion after validating the mechanism (80 species and 464 reactions), which includes nitrogen and sulfur chemistry based on GRI-MECH 3.0. The effects of residence time, temperature, pressure, major species (O2/H2O), and minor or trace species (CO/SOx) on NO2 formation are studied. The calculation results show that when pressure is increased from 1 to 15 bar, NO2 is increased from 1 to 60 ppm, and the acid dew point increases by over 80?C. Higher pressure and temperature greatly reduce the time required to reach equilibrium. With increasing pressure and decreasing temperature, O plays a much more important role than HO2 in the oxidation of NO. A higher water vapor content accelerates NO2 formation in all cases by providing more O and HO2 radicals. The addition of CO or SO2 also promotes the formation of NO2. The NO2 formation in a pressurized oxy-combustion furnace can be over 10 times that of an atmospheric air-combustion furnace.
Air-source heat pump performance comparison in different real operational conditions based on advanced exergy and exergoeconomic approach
Authors: Vuckovic Goran , Stojiljkovic Mirko , Ignjatovic Marko , Vukic Mica
Published: September 2020

The use of air-source heat pumps (ASHP) is increasing to meet the energy needs of residential buildings, and manufacturers of equipment have permanently expanded the range of work and improved the efficiency in very adverse outdoor air conditions. However, in the time of a wide range of different technologies, the problem of using ASHP, from a techno-economic point of view, is constantly present. Exergetic efficiency and exergoeconomic cost no longer provide sufficiently reliable information when it is necessary to reduce the investment costs or in-crease the energy/exergetic efficiency of the component/system. This paper presents comparison of ASHP in different operational conditions based on an advanced exergy and exergoeconomic approach. The advanced exergy analysis splits the destruction of exergy for each individual component into avoidable and unavoidable part in order to fully understand the processes. The information of stream costs is used to calculate exergoeconomic variables associated with each system component. Irreversibility in the compressor have the greatest impact on reducing the overall system exergetic efficiency by 46.7% during underfloor heating (UFH) operation and 24.53% during domestic hot water (DHW) operation. Exergy loss reduces exergetic efficiency by 5.72% UFH and 39.74% DHW. High values of exergoeconomic cost for both operating regimes are present in flows 1, 2, 3 and 4 due to high costs of production and relatively small exergy levels. The general recommendation is to set the ASHP to operate with near-optimal capacities in both regimes and then reduce exergy of flows 1, 2, 5, 11, and 13.

Within each category, we discuss the changes and suggest future research to examine each aspect of learning effectiveness.
Individual and neighbourhood socioeconomic status increase risk of avoidable hospitalizations among Canadian adults: A retrospective cohort study of linked population health data
Authors: Wallar Lauren E , Rosella Laura C
Published: September 2020

IntroductionAvoidable hospitalizations refer to acute care use for conditions that should normally be managed inprimary care settings. Lower socioeconomic status that is often measured using area-based indicators(e.g. median household income) has been shown to increase risk of avoidable hospitalizations.However, both area- and individual-level socioeconomic status can contribute to hospitalization risk,but previous data limitations have prevented separate analyses. Further, the joint effect of individualand neighbourhood socioeconomic status has not been established in the Canadian population. Toaddress this, this study links individual-level household income and neighbourhood-level materialdeprivation data within a population-based Canadian cohort.

ObjectivesTo determine the individual and joint effect of individual-level household income and neighbourhood-level material deprivation on risk of hospitalization for a set of chronic ambulatory care sensitiveconditions using linked health survey, hospital discharge, and census-derived data.

MethodsA pooled cohort was created by linking sociodemographic and health information from eight cycles ofthe Canadian Community Health Survey (2000/2001 - 2010) to hospital discharge records and Cana-dian Marginalization Indices (2001, 2006) (N = 354,595). The primary outcome variable was riskof index hospitalization with a primary diagnosis of angina, asthma, congestive heart failure, chronicobstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, epilepsy, or hypertension. The primary exposure variablewas joint individual-level national household income quintile and neighbourhood-level material de-privation quintile. Relative risk (RR) was estimated by constructing modified Poisson regressionmodels with robust error variance.

ResultsIn fully adjusted models with income and deprivation considered separately, individuals in the lowesthousehold income quintile and highest material deprivation quintile were at increased risk of hospi-talization (Income RR: 1.82 (95% CI 1.56-2.13) Deprivation RR: 1.67 (1.44-1.95)). When incomeand deprivation were jointly considered, those with low individual income living in high deprivationneighbourhoods were at greatest risk of hospitalization (RR 1.83 (95% CI 1.63 - 2.05)).

ConclusionsBoth individual income and neighbourhood deprivation separately and jointly increase risk of avoid-able hospitalizations. Additional research is needed to understand their mechanisms of action.However, both levels should be considered when designing effective policies and interventions toreduce avoidable hospitalizations.

Published: September 2020

Tourism is the economical heart of Ubud, Gianyar, Bali’s society. Almost 90% working age population work as tourism worker and almost 50% of the village’s area is used as business space. This condition pushes resiliency from many aspects of population, especially youth. Tourism affects culture and custom in youth, especially in their obligation of Pura in their environment and the demands of up-to-date culture covering it. This research was done for 4 months, started in August to December 2018. The data collection method used was in-depth interview supported by survey results. In-depth interview was done to the public figures, youth participating in Sekaa Teruna Teruni (STT), village government, and Banjar manager. Questionnaire was given to 12th grade students of higher education (SMA/SMK) in Ubud. Survey data was processed using regression analysis and describes as supporting data for the in-depth interview. The result of the research shows that Ubud youths have resiliency tendency in a positive way towards tourism in their environment. They do not leave customs and cultures as feared by many people regarding tourism erosion in Bali which getting stronger. The youth knows that customs and cultures have to go together with tourism. Tourists come to Ubud because of the cultures there. Most of the youth knows that tourism is their future, and so does their customs obligations and cultures. Thus, the two are better managed and processed without leaving one or the other.

Published: September 2020

Thrombogenicity and its causes in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and pre-existing polycythemia vera (PV) is a significant clinical concern. The aim of this study was to identify the range of factors associated with increased thrombogenicity in patients with IS and pre-existing PV. We performed a physical examination and laboratory tests on 127 patients in the hyperacute stroke stage and 16-18 months after. Of them, 68 patients had PV (the main group) and 59 did not have this condition (the comparison group). Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate blood rheology, hemostasis, endothelial function, angiogenesis, proinflammatory cytokine levels; we also tested patients for the presence of the V617F mutation in the JAK2 gene and analyzed the contribution of all studied parameters to the development of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications. We found that the neurological picture did not differ between the groups: mean NIHSS scores were 12 and 13 points, respectively. Morphological and functional characteristics of red blood cells and platelets, hemostasis and cytokine profiles were compared between patients with IS and pre-existing PV and the comparison group. One of the key elements in potentiating thrombotic complications in patients with IS and PV was JAK2 V617F allele burden. The obtained data suggest the cumulative effect of the identified factors promoting thrombus formation in post-stroke patients with PV and overpowering the effect of antiplatelet therapy.

Authors: Sciabarrasi Antonio Alejandro , Sensevy Alcides , Cervantes-Gómez David , Scaglione María Cristina , Delmar-Cerutti Raúl
Published: September 2020

En la Estación Zoológica “La Esmeralda” se diseñó y aplicó un programa de enriquecimiento ambiental para felinos domésticos (Felis catus) y felinos silvestres diurnos (Leopardus geoffrogy) y nocturnos (Puma yagouaroundi). El objetivo fue evaluar si el enriquecimiento ambiental produce cambios en sus conductas y si estos se mantienen una vez finalizadas las maniobras de enriquecimiento. Previo al enriquecimiento (línea base = 3 días), durante el enriquecimiento ambiental (5 días) y posterior al él (3 días), en condiciones de aislamiento (en las 3 especies) e intemperie (solo en las silvestres) se monitorearon los comportamientos locomoción, olisqueo, postura pasiva, descanso, grooming, pacing y frote. Las conductas se registraron con cámara de video entre las 06.00 y 18:00 h. Felis catus manifestó un cambio favorable ante la mayoría de los enriquecedores ofrecidos. El enriquecimiento en Leopardus geoffrogy fue efectivo para disminuir conductas negativas y mitigar los efectos del ambiente y antropogénicos. Puma yaguarundi exhibió dificultad de comportamiento frente al cautiverio, exacerbadas en intemperie. El enriquecimiento en esta especie tuvo efecto disminuyendo conductas negativas en aislamiento, pero no en intemperie en la que se manifestaron con mayor frecuencia. Se concluye que el enriquecimiento ambiental es una herramienta que beneficia el bienestar de los animales mantenidos en cautiverio dependiendo del grado de silvestría por lo que debe ser adaptado a cada especie y realizado mediante estrategias continúas.

A liderança, entendida como resultado da relação entre atores e seus diferentes contextos, tem amplo significado para o campo da gestão pública que se processa também por meio da atuação dos agentes políticos. Estes sentem-se compelidos a buscar a legitimação de sua liderança de maneira a garantir sua perenidade enquanto atores públicos. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi analisar como se dá a legitimação da liderança na história de vida de agentes políticos (prefeitos). A pesquisa foi qualitativa de caráter descritivo e analítico com uso de documentos e entrevistas, associados a técnica de história de vida com três prefeitos do estado de Santa Catarina premiados no Sistema de Indicadores de Desenvolvimento Municipal Sustentável (SIDEMS). Foi utilizada a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo (AC). Como achados da pesquisa destaca-se que a associação de teorias de Weber, Berguer e Luckmann e Bourdieu possibilita compreender a liderança sobre uma perspectiva relacional, analisando não somente o indivíduo, mas os contextos construídos socialmente. Acredita-se que seja possível desenvolver um conhecimento que integra e não que exclui e fragmenta, evitando, com isso, uma visão acrítica da Liderança.

Rice-fish farming is a model that is considered suitable to be applied in rice fields, both on a large or limited land as long as water availability is sufficient for rice and fish to grow. In rice-fish farming, there is integration between fisheries and agriculture where integration can improve the efficiency of the supply and use of fertilizer and feed. The research aimed to find the reduction of inorganic fertilizer in integrated rice-fish farming with the rice-fish system to increase fertilizer efficiency. The experiment used a single factor randomized block design with five levels of treatment, which are; rice monoculture with 100% inorganic fertilizer, fish monoculture, rice-fish farming with 100% inorganic fertilizer, rice-fish farming with 60% inorganic fertilizer, and rice-fish farming with 20% inorganic fertilizer. Rice-fish farming could reduce the application of inorganic fertilizers through complementary relationships between rice and fish. Applying inorganic fertilizer 20% of the reference dose in the rice-fish farming produced productivity that was not significantly different from the rice-fish farming fertilized with 60% and 100% of the reference dose, and the rice monoculture with 100% of the reference dose of inorganic fertilizer.

Authors: Hussain Farhat , Smith Alesha , Wilby Kyle
Published: September 2020

Background: Targeted recruitment of students with disabilities is a novel area in pharmacy education and may help to attract qualified students in light of decreasing applicant numbers. The aim of this study was to explore the visibility of disabilities within online recruitment material for pharmacy programs and to determine the location of targeted information available to prospective students with disabilities.

Methods: The top 50 ranked programs offering a professional pharmacy degree under the Pharmacy and Pharmacology QS subject rankings were identified and included if recruitment material was published in English. Online recruitment material was reviewed for presence of persons with disabilities in photos, presence or description of persons with disabilities in videos, information specific to disabilities on the program website (e.g. technical standards), and information specific to disabilities on the university website (if not located on the program website).

Results: A total of 41 international program websites met the inclusion criteria. No programs included pictures or videos featuring persons with disabilities. A total of 18 (44%) of programs had disability information on the program website and an additional 18 (44%) of programs included information on the university website. There were 5 (12%) of programs that did not include any information about disabilities on the program or university website.

Conclusion:  Recruitment material for pharmacy degree programs should be current, inclusive, and reflective of student populations eligible to be admitted. This study found a distinct underrepresentation of students with disabilities and information pertaining to disabilities within recruitment material for a sample of international pharmacy programs.

Therapeutic effectiveness of AdvanSync2 at different stages of skeletal maturity in skeletal Class II malocclusion: A single-blind clinical trial
Authors: Raghav Pradeep , Mathur Shivani , Amit Kumar , Mohan Stuti
Published: September 2020

Objectives:

AdvanSync2 (Ormco, Glendora, California, USA) is a molar-to-molar fixed Class II corrector, based on the philosophy of Herbst which allows the bonding of the both upper and lower arches simultaneously along with fixed functional therapy. The purpose of this study was to cephalometrically compare the skeletal and dentoalveolar effects of AdvanSync2 in the correction of Class II malocclusions in circumpubertal and post-pubertal patients.

Materials and Methods:

Forty-eight samples were selected and divided into two groups based on their CVMI staging, Group A, i.e., at CVMI Stages 2 and 3 (18 girls and six boys) and Group B, i.e., CVMI Stages 4, 5, and 6 (19 girls and five boys). Cephalograms taken at pre- and post-AdvanSync2 stages were compared and analyzed.

Results:

The results showed that there was a significant increase in mandibular length in both groups. Both the groups also showed sagittal maxillary restriction, maxillary molar distalization, and retroclination of maxillary incisors. On comparison between Group A and Group B, there was no statistically significant differences in terms of maxillary position, size of maxilla, as well as upper and lower incisor inclinations in Group A except for improvement of mandibular position (SNB; P ≤ 0.01) and greater amount of chin growth (B -Pg; P ≤ 0.01) with respect to Group B.

Conclusion:

AdvanSync2 can be used as an effective fixed functional appliance in post-pubertal group for sagittal mandibular correction in skeletal Class II patients.
Design of Metal-Organic Framework Templated Materials using High-Throughput Computational Screening

The ability to crosslink Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) has recently been discovered as a flexible approach towards synthesizing MOF-templated “ideal network polymers”. Crosslinking MOFs with rigid cross-linkers would allow the synthesis of crystalline Covalent-Organic Frameworks (COFs) of so far unprecedented flexibility in network topologies, far exceeding the conventional direct COF synthesis approach. However, to date only flexible cross-linkers were used in the MOF crosslinking approach, since a rigid cross-linker would require an ideal fit between the MOF structure and the cross-linker, which is experimentally extremely challenging, making in silico design mandatory. Here, we present an effective geometric method to find an ideal MOF cross-linker pair by employing a high-throughput screening approach. The algorithm considers distances, angles, and arbitrary rotations to optimally match the cross-linker inside the MOF structures. In a second, independent step, using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations we quantitatively confirmed all matches provided by the screening. Our approach thus provides a robust and powerful method to identify ideal MOF/Cross-linker combinations, which helped to identify several MOF-to-COF candidate structures by starting from suitable libraries. The algorithms presented here can be extended to other advanced network structures, such as mechanically interlocked materials or molecular weaving and knots

The spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 is a highly conserved surface protein and as such may represent a good target for immunoassay detection. We screened a variety of antibodies that were reactive to the S glycoprotein in a highly sensitive liquid immunoassay format and also on paper-based or lateral flow assay (LFA) to assess their analytical performance. Our findings included significant variation in performance when using different sources of S antigen. We identified several antibody pairs that had an LOD of below 10 pg/mL in the liquid immunoassay format with the lowest being 3 pg/mL. The antibodies were highly specific to SARS-Cov-2 based on cross reactivity screening with other human CoVs. The LFA screening found some different optimal antibody pairs from the pool of candidate antibodies used but a several antibodies were observed to have high performance with either immunoassay format.

ADVOCATE ASSISTANCE AGAINST WITNESSES TOWARD THE SUSPECTED IN THE INVESTIGATION PROCESS OF CORRUPTION CRIMINAL ACT
Authors: Bahari Alamsyah
Published: September 2020

In order to create a good and transparent criminal justice process so that there is no imbalance between witnesses and law enforcement officials, advocate assistance to witnesses in the investigation process in cases of corruption is necessary because not everyone has mental readiness or knowledge regarding the law in the investigation process. This study aims to provide a complete and clear description of the procedure for examining witnesses who are accused in the process of investigating cases of corruption by authorized institutions and a description of the legal basis for anti-corruption institutions in implementing the prohibition on advocacy assistance to witnesses during the process of investigating criminal cases. corruption. The research method used by researchers is the normative juridical research method. The anomaly in the attitude of the investigator appears when the advocate accompanies a witness who is asked to present it by the reported party or the suspect. Before the examination, the investigator informs the witness that the presence of an Advocate in a witness examination is not obligatory. Advocate witness assistance should also be added to be strictly regulated in the regulations, to prevent unnecessary polemics on this matter. It also includes that the witness has the right to receive a copy of the examination report.
