La matemática financiera, también conocidas como finanzas cuantitativas, son un campo de las matemáticas aplicadas que se ocupa de la modelización matemática de los mercados financieros. En general, existen dos ramas separadas de las finanzas que requieren técnicas cuantitativas avanzadas: la fijación de precios derivados por un lado y la gestión de riesgos y carteras por el otro. Las finanzas matemáticas se superponen en gran medida con los campos de las finanzas computacionales y la ingeniería financiera. El último se enfoca en aplicaciones y modelado, a menudo con la ayuda de modelos de activos estocásticos, mientras que el primero se enfoca, además del análisis, en la construcción de herramientas de implementación para los modelos. También está relacionada la inversión cuantitativa, que se basa en modelos estadísticos y numéricos (y últimamente en aprendizaje automático) en lugar del análisis fundamental tradicional cuando se gestionan carteras. ​

Authors: TA* Limbana
Published: May 2024

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major public health concern, demanding multifaceted treatment strategies due to its complex nature. This study aimed to bridge the gap in understanding MRSA's clinical presentation, management, and outcomes by employing a mixed-methods approach. Through an extensive literature review and a singlecenter retrospective patient record review, the study offered insights into MRSA management, from diagnosis to treatment. The analysis included 44 patients, who presented to an outpatient dermatology practice. Results found a broad age range, revealing that 68.2% were treated with both topical and oral medications. Antibiotic susceptibility tests showed high resistance to Penicillin (84.1%) and high susceptibility to drugs like Linezolid (95.5%) and Moxifloxacin (97.7%). The literature review examined 22 relevant articles from the past decade. The study's findings emphasize the diversity of MRSA infections and the challenges in treatment, highlighting variations in antibiotic susceptibility and the urgent need for innovative approaches. It serves as a substantial contribution to the existing body of knowledge on MRSA and may inform future research and clinical practice.
Management of Delayed Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction in a Patient with Sickle Cell Disease: A Case Report
Authors: B* Divyashish
Published: May 2024

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited blood disorders characterized by abnormalities in hemoglobin (Hb), leading to distortion in shape of red blood cells (RBCs) and their breakdown, potentially blocking blood flow and resulting in pain and anemia. This can significantly impact the patient’s quality of life. Patients often require multiple blood transfusions to prevent complications associated with SCD by reducing the concentration of damaged hemoglobin. However, one of the significant complications of blood transfusions is Delayed Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction (DHTR), which occurs due to RBC alloimmunization (i.e., formation of antibodies against donor RBC antigens). DHTR can manifest as a sudden decrease in hemoglobin levels, which may progress to rapid multiorgan failure and death. Thus, prompt diagnosis is crucial for timely management. This case report highlights the diagnosis and management of a 56-year-old African American female with SCD who presented with bilateral severe knee pain and low Hb levels. Case Presentation: The patient’s symptoms, past medical history, and investigation findings led to a diagnosis of DHTR. Management was conducted within the framework of Bloodless Medicine, incorporating strategies to minimize blood loss and optimize erythropoiesis. Treatment included the use of erythropoietin (EPO) to manage hemoglobin levels and the administration of opioids and supplemental oxygen for symptom relief. Conclusion: Our case report highlights the challenges and various management strategies employed in treating DHTR in SCD patients. It emphasizes the importance of early recognition of the complication and compares the risks and benefits of additional blood transfusions in such patients. By presenting this case, we aim to contribute to the growing literature on DHTR in SCD patients and highlight the need for further research and optimized management strategies in this population.

Published: May 2024

Urban parks represent the main area for outdoor leisure and recreation in urban environments, as well as the primary tool for protecting environmentally fragile areas such as slopes, valley bottoms, and degraded areas. This study conducts an analysis of urban parks from the perspective of the physical characteristics of the relief, guided by the premise that parks were strategically implemented in fragile areas of the urban environment. To this end, a case study was developed in the Central-West region of the city of São Paulo, through the analysis of thematic maps (hydrography, topography, and land use) available on the São Paulo City Hall website. The selection criteria for the analyzed units were based on the size of the area, selecting: the largest area, the smallest area, and an intermediate-sized area. The analyzed parks were: Zilda Natel Park, implemented on a slope and in an old degraded area; Aclimação Park, implemented in a valley bottom; and Villa Lobos Park, implemented in a valley bottom, subject to flooding, and an old degraded area. According to the characteristics of the physical location and historical occupation, it is clear that the initial premises were corroborated: the parks were implemented in fragile areas of the urban landscape.

El objetivo de la presente investigación es dimensionar el compromiso organizacional y desarrollar un modelo de gestión en torno a dicho concepto con el fin de estudiar su relación con los estilos de liderazgo y determinar estrategias de crecimiento y motivación en el personal docente y administrativo de una universidad pública en la ciudad de Chihuahua. Para ello, se empleó el modelo multidimensional del compromiso organizacional (afectivo, de continuidad y normativo) y la versión reducida del MLQ (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire) para evaluar los estilos de liderazgo (transformacional, transaccional y laissez faire). A través de un estudio de diseño no experimental y con alcance descriptivo y correlacional, se administró un instrumento estructurado compuesto por 21 ítems para medir el compromiso organizacional y 25 ítems para medir el estilo de liderazgo. Posteriormente, se llevó a cabo un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia con 698 empleados (60.1 % docentes y 39.9 % administrativos). Los datos obtenidos se analizaron con el software SPSS, aplicando estadística descriptiva y la herramienta de correlación no paramétrica Rho Spearman. Los resultados indicaron un grado fuerte de compromiso organizacional en las dimensiones afectiva y normativa, aunque en un punto límite inferior. Además, se encontró que tanto el estilo de liderazgo transformacional como el transaccional tienen un nivel fuerte. Asimismo, se observó una estrecha relación positiva entre el compromiso organizacional y los estilos de liderazgo, por lo que se sugiere desarrollar estrategias para aumentar el compromiso organizacional y mejorar el liderazgo en instituciones de educación superior. Finalmente, se recomienda llevar a cabo futuras investigaciones sobre compromiso organizacional y liderazgo en universidades públicas y privadas en otras regiones del país.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el impacto que tiene el lugar de residencia de las familias mexicanas en sus ingresos. Este tema se ha elegido porque muchos hogares, con la intención de obtener una casa propia, deciden trasladarse a la periferia de la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México (ZMVM), lo cual, sin embargo, resulta en una inversión insostenible debido al gasto que deben invertir en movilidad. Para profundizar en esta problemática se realizó un análisis bibliométrico con Scopus y se consideraron los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares 2020 (ENIGH), donde se demuestra que el ingreso trimestral es de $50 309, obtenido principalmente mediante el trabajo, mientras que el gasto total por trimestre en México es de $47 396, destinado a cubrir necesidades relacionadas con alimentos y bebidas (38 %), y transporte y comunicaciones (19 %). Además, se determinó que el grupo de individuos que realizan más viajes y utilizan más el transporte privado es el nivel alto (0.875) y medio alto (0.771), en contraste con los niveles medio bajo (0.720) y bajo (0.327), mayormente caminan, mientras que el estrato medio bajo es el que más utiliza la bicicleta (0.504) y camina (0.720). Finalmente, se aprecia que la Ciudad de México (CDMX), el Estado de México y Querétaro son los que más ingresos perciben, aunque también gastan más de la mitad.

Reduction of craving in an adolescent in residential treatment for addictions through a brief intervention: A case study
Authors: Ojeda Aguilar Yancarlo Lizandro , Martínez Martínez Kalina Isela
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Craving refers to a subjective desire to consume substances. It has been found that craving is one of the best predictors of relapse, so it is important to address it during addiction treatment. The Brief Intervention Program for Adolescents (PIBA) has been shown to be effective in reducing drug consumption patterns, increasing self-efficacy to deal with consumption situations, and reducing problems associated with consumption in adolescents who are in middle or high school schools, as well as in outpatient addiction care institutions. However, the effectiveness of this program has not been tested with adolescents in residential treatment or in reducing craving. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of PIBA in reducing craving and increasing self-efficacy in a female adolescent who was in a residential center. Method: A single-case design was applied, consisting of the treatment and a follow-up at four months, intentional and non-probabilistic, with a 16-year-old female adolescent. Result: A reduction in craving was found throughout the treatment and maintained during the follow-up, as well as an increase in self-efficacy. Conclusion: These findings extend the effectiveness of PIBA to addiction components and populations not previously explored, suggesting that PIBA may be an alternative to work with these components and populations.
Regional Differentiation of Selected States of the Eastern Wing of the EU at the NUTS 2 Level in Relation to Rural Regions
Authors: Vošta Milan
Published: May 2024

This article analyzes the current topic of regional disparities in the EU member states. The aim of the present study is to assess the regional disparities in the selected countries, as well as to identify the dynamics of the existing disparities in regional averages at the level of NUTS 2 statistical administrative units. The framework of the text is narrowed down to a regional analysis of seven selected countries of the EU's eastern wing (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia). The text also highlights the position of rural areas and their role in the regional balance of the countries. The methodological approach is grounded mainly in the analysis of the development of disparities based on the analysis of empirical statistical data for the period 2001 to 2021, as well as on the assessment of the main features and trends of regional differentiation. To test convergence, the results of the coefficient of variation of GDP per capita in PPP were compared. The research showed the existence of significant differences in the economic development of the regions and different convergence tendencies. According to the results obtained, the countries studied were divided into three groups. Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia recorded the fastest pace of internal balance, with the Czech Republic and Bulgaria showing the smallest regional differences at NUTS 2 level. The second group of countries is represented by Poland and Slovenia, which have seen minimal changes in internal differentiation, while both countries are the least internally diversified in the group of seven countries examined. Hungary was the only country with an increase in regional disparities in the period under review, while Slovakia was one of the countries with the largest internal differences between regions. There is scope for future research to continue to monitor the evolution of convergence, including the impact of recent trends.

Published: May 2024

Road traffic accidents represent a significant global public health concern, and Malaysia is no exception. Within the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (FRDM), similar issues have had detrimental impacts on health, financial loss, and service disruptions from 2016 to 2021.
These challenges were highlighted by a recent accident involving a water tanker during a road test, described in this study according to qualitative data from the FRDM accident investigation report. The investigation revealed that human factor, as the active failure, was the primary cause of the accident. Response errors stem from a cascade of latent conditions initiated by inadequate resource management (i.e. provision of training and budget allocation).
To address these challenges, the FRDM should adopt a comprehensive approach to address both latent conditions and active failures. This comprehensive approach ensures that both immediate concerns and root causes are addressed, leading to sustained improvements in safety and operational performance.

Authors:   Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Zhao Ronghui , Shang Bofei ,   Jiangsu University of Science and Technology
Published: May 2024

Stable ties have been formed between Russia and China in the field of tourism. Jiangsu Province in China is characterized by a high level of development in the recreational sector for travelers and is rich in cultural and tourist resources. In 2021, the region set the goal of becoming a “world-renowned tourist destination”, meaning a sought-after destination for travelers from various countries. While developing in this regard, the province has demonstrated significant growth in the number of accepted guests from other countries in recent years, however, Russians among them constitute a minority. The article aims to examine the tourist motivation of Russian travelers when visiting China and identify the cultural and resource advantages of Jiangsu Province that could attract them to the region. Three aspects of Russians’ travel preferences are noted – the unique culture of the destination, budget-friendly shopping and high comfort for vacationers. It is concluded that adapting the tourism industry of Jiangsu Province to cater to the preferences of Russian tourists presents an opportunity to increase tourist arrivals from Russia. Strategies focusing on promoting cultural attractions, enhancing shopping experiences, and improving leisure facilities can contribute to attracting more Russian tourists to the region, thereby bolstering tourism growth and economic development.

Digital model of hydraulic drive for solar tracker rotary control
Authors: Ayupova D. А. , Kuderko D. A. , Tselishchev V. A. , Shaidakov V. V.
Published: May 2024

An important area in the field of solar energy is considered, focusing on the use of a hydraulic drive in high-power solar trackers. In the context of the relevance of environmental problems and the commitment to energy efficiency, the role of solar trackers in increasing the productivity of solar power plants is investigated. An analysis of current trends in the field of hydraulic drive is presented, highlighting the prospects for its application. The analysis of the directions of improvement of the drives of the solar tracker is carried out. The hydraulic drive of the tracker is considered as an object of regulation. Disturbing loads of various types acting in the process of changing the position of the tracker are determined. The main load acting on the tracker drive is positional, caused by the gas–dynamic effect of the wind flow impinging on the tracker plane or the ambiguity of the behavior of the snow and ice cover. It is determined that the inertial load, when turning a high-power tracker, has a significant effect on the friction forces in the attachment points of the hinge support mechanisms. Options for the implementation of new circuit solutions for the tracker hydraulic drive are considered. Using information from sensors of movement of the rods of hydraulic motors of the tracker position drive, the sun position sensor, the control electronic module positions the solar tracker platform by supplying control signals to the electric hydraulic distributors of the drive. The hydromechanical regulators of the pump adjust the characteristics of the system to a random change in external loads on the tracker. A mathematical model of the hydraulic drive of the basic circuit tracker has been developed. The digital model of the tracker drive is designed to optimize the operation of the hydraulic drive, taking into account various factors such as inertia, viscous damping, hydraulic losses, system nonlinearities, thermal losses, elasticity of elements and the impact of external factors. The results obtained emphasize the efficiency and accuracy of the control system, making the hydraulic drive an important element in the development of clean and efficient energy.

Opacity in classic and derivational optimality theory: Tiberian Hebrew Spirantization and Polisho-Raising
Authors: Dunin-Borkowski Jakub
Published: May 2024

Classic Optimality Theory treats phonological computation as a one-step parallel evaluation of output candidates. Such an approach does not handle well phonological opacity, in which the context of phonological processes is obscured on the surface. This article shows two examples of phonological opacity: Tiberian Hebrew Spirantization and Polish o-Raising. While these mappings are impossible to account for in classic OT, they are readily analyzed using the framework of Derivational OT.

Background

Despite the availability of factor replacement therapy, including prophylaxis, to treat and prevent bleeding, haemophilic arthropathy continues to be the most common complication of haemophilia and significantly impairs the quality of life in people with haemophilia (PwH). Regular periodic assessment of joint status in PwH is essential to identify early arthropathic changes and prevent the development or progression of haemophilic arthropathy. Kinematic and kinetic assessment are preferable and MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing haemophilic arthropathy, but availability is limited in developing countries. HJHS and ultrasound in conjunction with HEAD-US have been shown to effective in assessing changes indicating arthropathy.

Aim

This study is designed to identify which radiological assessment tool(s) works best when integrated with clinical assessment tools to examine joint health in PwH, with the aim of establishing a cheap, effective, multimodal approach to joint assessment in clinical practice in low resource settings which can then help to guide treatment.

Methods

A cross-sectional observational study was carried out among PwH attending a clinic in the department of medicine at Assam Medical College and Hospital, Northeast India, over a one-year time period. The elbow, knee and ankle joints of participants were assessed clinically and functionally using HJHS and FISH and radiologically by Pettersson (X-ray) and HEAD-US (ultrasound) scoring. The resulting data was analysed statistically to ascertain correlation between these parameters.

Results

Sixty-seven PwH were enrolled in the study, with a mean age of 21.69±8.24 years (median 21 years); 38 (57.72%) had severe factor deficiency. The majority (71.70%) presented with joint bleeds; 40 (59.70%) had the knee as a target joint, followed by the elbow (11; 16.41%) and ankle (6; 8.95%). Mean ABR (annual bleed rate), AJBR (annual joint bleed rate) and ATJBR (annual target joint bleed rate) values had a positive correlation with increased severity of factor deficiency (p <0.001). FISH score increased with factor activity level; HJHS, HEAD-US and Pettersson scores decreased with factor activity level. Significant positive correlation was established between Pettersson score, age and ABR. The degree of association was greatest between HJHS and HEAD-US at 60.62%; between HJHS and Pettersson it was 57.74%. Statistically significant negative correlation was established between FISH and HEAD-US.

Conclusion

A combined multimodal approach using the HJHS, FISH and HEAD-US scoring systems can provide a cheap, quick, more reliable and accurate option for assessing haemophilic joints, with minimal inter and intra observer reliability. This can support the optimisation of management of joint damage in PwH in resource-constrained settings.

Introduction

Caregiving for children with haemophilia is a critical role that requires vigilance and significant lifestyle change, impacting on social activities, physical and psychological health and emotional experiences.

Aim

To explore the lived experience of mothers in Iran as caregivers of boys with severe haemophilia, focusing specifically on their psychological challenges.

Methods

This phenomenological study forms part of a larger study exploring psychological difficulties and social interactions of mothers of boys with haemophilia (BWH) in Iran. Semi-structured in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with the biological mothers caring for one son with severe haemophilia A or B. Interview questions focused on challenges related to treatment, medication, prophylaxis and their interactions with HCPs, including the mothers’ feelings and coping mechanisms, and were adjusted to the Iranian cultural context. Participants were recruited from Mofid Comprehensive Care Centre for Children with Haemophilia (MCCCCH) in Tehran. Data analysis was based on van Manen’s six-step framework, using MAX.QDA software (2020), to identify themes. Findings were triangulated with findings from interviews with HCPs at MCCCCH about their perceptions of the challenges the mothers experience.

Results

Fifteen mothers of BWH were interviewed, most of whom had no or an unknown family history and no previous knowledge of haemophilia. Five themes and 27 subthemes of psychological experiences were identified. Themes included Daily emotional experiences; Challenge of acceptance; Defence mechanisms; Coping strategies (Emotion-focused and Problem-focused); and Positive expectations of the future. The most notable findings related to Daily emotional experiences and Defence mechanisms. Emotional reactions were diverse and included depression, fear and regret. Participants used a variety of defence mechanisms, including rumination and avoidance to try and overcome their situation.

Conclusion

If informed properly about medical issues and enabled to gain insight into their psychological responses, mothers of children with haemophilia in Iran may be able to better regulate emotional complexities and handle disappointment or unrealistic expectations, thereby enhancing their quality of life. There is a need for psychological services in haemophilia care in Iran that needs to be addressed in order to better support the wellbeing of patients and their families. This psychological supportive care should be informed by culturally appropriate guidelines and could be extended to similar communities in the Middle East.

Introduction

For retention in clinical trials of investigational medical products (CTIMPS), the strategy and tactics to keep enrolled participants from discontinuing participation (dropouts) are important. Haemophilia trials often have extended follow-up and require motivated participants who commit for the duration of the study, which may be underestimated at initiation. Study discontinuation may lead to inconclusive results and prolonged trials. Research nurses (RNs) and study coordinators (SCs) play an important role in clinical trials and are considered the link between principal investigator and study participants. We discuss the importance of the RNs and SCs in retention of participants, the barriers and challenges to retention, and the interventions utilised to support it.

Methods

We conducted a 12-question online survey at registration for a virtual research study update summit. The survey investigated the thoughts of RNs/SCs about retention in CTIMPS, their experiences and challenges, and interventions to prevent attrition.

Results

Eighty-seven RNs and SCs from 24 countries (Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America) participated. The majority (62/75 responses) reported having 1-5 or 6-10 clinical trial participants (46.6% and 36% respectively); the remainder reported 11-40 trial participants. The majority reported no or few participants dropping out of haemophilia clinical trials in the preceding three years (42.8% and 33.7% respectively). RNs/SCs believed participants dropped out because of ‘loss of interest’ (50%), ‘study going on too long’ (39%), ‘too many visits’ (virtual or at centre) (37.5%), ‘visits are too time-consuming’ (34%) and a ‘lack of time’ (32.8%). Over half of RNs/SCs believed ‘dropouts’ would be higher if they did not make extra efforts in retention. The top interventions to retain participants were: keeping an open dialogue, organising visits to fit participant schedules, discussing adverse events, understanding the protocol, and allowing participants time to ask questions. Retention is achieved through flexibility, timeliness, combining trial activities with routine care, shared decision making and effective communication, including via contemporary technology.

Conclusion

This study investigating the retention role of RNs/SCs revealed low dropout rates in haemophilia trials. RNs/SCs are able to offer flexibility to trial procedures by, for example, scheduling visits within trial timing ‘windows’ to support and facilitate individualised follow-up. Patient-centred care and attention, including trust, attitude and expectations, aid successful retention and trial outcomes. This often unrecognised role is important in supporting people with haemophilia in clinical trials to promote good study outcomes.
