Research on Relief Measures during the Joseon Dynasty in Korea from the Perspective of Zhu Xi’s Neo-Confucianism
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Hou Meixin , Shi Pengfei
Published: November 2023

The Confucianism philosophy of ‘governing by nurturing the people’ played a crucial guiding role in the governance policies of the entire Joseon Dynasty in Korea. Although many of the relief measures in the Joseon Dynasty were imitations and references to ancient China and lacked originality, the implementation of these measures exceeded those of the previous Goryeo Dynasty both in form and content, gradually diversifying, systematizing, stabilizing, and concretizing and playing a huge practical role in social stability. At the same time, the reason why such relief measures could continue and develop in the Joseon Dynasty is due to the role of Confucianism philosophy, especially after the introduction of Zhu Xi’s Neo-Confucianism. It consistently spurred the rulers of the Joseon Dynasty to work towards the governance goal of governing by nurturing the people, allowing the charitable relief system to be fully executed and played out. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the relief measures in the context of the Confucianism philosophy in the Korean peninsula with a positive and affirmative attitude, in order to further reveal the unique humanistic spirit embodied in East Asian traditional culture during times of crisis.
Impact of Home-based Care and Institutionbased Care on Older Adults’ Health in China: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Tian Hua , Chen Jie
Published: November 2023

Objective: This study compares between two types of care for older adults′ health, viz., home -based care and. Institution-based care in the context of China, and further explored the impact of each care type on their health. Methods: A fully aligned polygonal graphical
indexing method, t-tests, logistic binary regression analysis were performed using SPSS for data analysis. Results: In both care types, females had higher incidence of one or more chronic disease than males, as well as anxiety. However, hypertension was the chronic disease with the
highest incidence, higher in males than females. Care types had significant impact on variables like self-reported health (OR=0.329, [CI95%=0.107-1.010], p<0.05) and mental health (OR=0.567, [CI95%=0.364-0.881], p<0.05), but had no significant impact
on the objective physical health (OR=1.010, [CI95%=0.577-1.767], p>0.05). Conclusion: Both the types of care of older adults showed a significant impact on the self-reported and mental health, but only a significant difference was made on their mental health. Information
exchange and emotional communication through smart facilities and the Internet useability, such as eHealth training, intelligent old-age care may be good interventions to improve older adults′ health.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: Mental health is determined by the way students think, feel, behave and interact with peers socially and professionally. Metacognition guides students′ cognitive thinking strategies to achieve academic success as well as other cognitive health outcomes. It prevents
any kind of psychological distress and regulate their emotive-cognition health behavior. The current research aimed to investigate the role of metacognitive components and awareness in relation to mental health conditions and identify potential areas of strengths and weaknesses of students
enrolled at Al Ain University (AAU). Methods: A descriptive study design was employed, involving 512 participants and the data was collected using the Meta-Cognitive Awareness Inventory. Results: The results demonstrate a notable insufficiency in metacognitive thinking skills
among AAU students, which highlights the necessity of incorporating metacognitive learning practices as effective health behavior among students. Conclusion: The research findings hold significant implications for optimizing educational practices and health behavior to enhance students′
metacognitive abilities. Educators and researchers can develop targeted health behavior and instructional strategies to promote metacognitive growth by identifying specific areas of strength and weakness. The results of this study contribute to the existing literature on metacognition and
health behavior, providing valuable insights for fostering effective learning environments within higher education institutions (HEIs).

High-Dimensional Fixed Effects Profiling Models and Applications in End-Stage Kidney Disease Patients: Current State and Future Directions
Authors: Nguyen Danh V. , Qian Qi , You Amy S. , Kurum Esra , Rhee Connie M. , Senturk Damla
Published: November 2023

Profiling analysis aims to evaluate health care providers, including hospitals, nursing homes, or dialysis facilities among others with respect to a patient outcome, such as 30-day unplanned hospital readmission or mortality. Fixed effects (FE) profiling models have been developed over the last decade, motivated by the overall need to (a) improve accurate identification or “flagging” of under-performing providers, (b) relax assumptions inherent in random effects (RE) profiling models, and (c) take into consideration the unique disease characteristics and care/treatment processes of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients on dialysis. In this paper, we review the current state of FE methodologies and their rationale in the ESKD population and illustrate applications in four key areas: profiling dialysis facilities for (1) patient hospitalizations over time (longitudinally) using standardized dynamic readmission ratio (SDRR), (2) identification of dialysis facility characteristics (e.g., staffing level) that contribute to hospital readmission, and (3) adverse recurrent events using standardized event ratio (SER). Also, we examine the operating characteristics with a focus on FE profiling models. Throughout these areas of applications to the ESKD population, we identify challenges for future research in both methodology and clinical studies.

Relation between financial advisory designations and FINRA misconduct FSR201714
Authors: Camarda Jeffrey
Published: November 2023

Registered representatives have no general fiduciary duty. CFP, ChFC, and CFA designees have higher ethical duties and education requirements. Registrants’ criminal, regulatory, complaint, and other misconduct history is public. This study examines misconduct disclosures of undesignated versus designated Florida securities salespeople, and finds adverse disclosure materially decreases for designees; it incidentally finds misconduct increases with maleness, dual investment advisor/registered representative status, and life insurance sales licensure. This appears to be the first such study of adverse disclosure association with financial designations, adding to the emerging misconduct and advisors’ ethics literature. These findings offer important policy and consumer choice insight.
Risk and uncertainty in style rotation
Authors: Krause Timothy A.
Published: November 2023

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE VIX; volatility) index has been established as a leading indicator of style returns since increases in this “fear index” lead to outperformance of “value” versus “growth” stocks. This study introduces the concept of “uncertainty” as an additional indicator of returns to value, as measured by the CBOE VVIX (“volatility of volatility”). This index is considered to be a proxy for “uncertainty” in the Knightian sense. Increases in expected volatility lead to short-term positive returns to value, while increases in uncertainty lead to negative short-term returns to value. Each of these observations are especially strong during economic downturns and after decreases in the VIX index. Several macroeconomic indicators provide additional incremental infor- mation regarding these phenomena.
Advisor compensation
Authors: Anderson Somer G. , Seay Martin C. , Kim Kyoung Tae , Lawson Derek R.
Published: November 2023

Using the 2015 National Financial Capability Study Investor Survey, this study uses agency theory to inform an exploration of characteristics associated with knowing how one’s financial advisor/broker is compensated. This study further examines how individuals who do know the compensation method choose between financial advisors with different compensation models. Proposed changes in the financial advising regulatory landscape, as well as the pending changes to the CFP Board Standards of Professional Conduct, brings greater emphasis on understanding consumers’ advisor compensation preferences. Primary results indicate that clients who place importance on fees, that are more knowledgeable about diversification, and that perform background checks are more likely to know compensation methods. A follow-up analysis reveals distinct differences between individuals that used each model, but also provide some mixed results, indicating that clients may not fully understand the compensation paid to their advisors. Discussion and implications related to these results are provided.
Local creative culture and dividend policy
Authors: Ucar Erdem , Staer Arsenio
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the role of local risk-taking propensity on dividend demand by using local creative culture as a measure of local risk-taking. We find that firms located in areas with a strong creative culture are less likely to pay and initiate dividends and exhibit lower levels of dividend yield. The empirical findings also remain robust after addressing endogeneity and a series of robustness checks. Furthermore, our paper highlights the local component of corporate dividend policies and offers additional evidence supporting dividend catering theory. Our results underscore the importance of cultural determinants of investors’ risk-taking for the financial industry participants.
Combination of infectious complications in a patient with immunosuppression (clinical case)
Authors:   Omsk State Medical University, Baigozina E.A.
Published: November 2023

Against the background of high incidence of new coronavirus infection there is a widespread increase in the incidence of co-infections, in particular, with HIV infection. Difficulties of differential diagnosis of infectious diseases in such a situation are similar clinical picture, similar radiological changes in the lungs (primarily with pneumocystis pneumonia and viral lesions caused by SARS-CoV-2), reduced availability of medical diagnostic procedures in a pandemic. The presented clinical case demonstrates a rare combination of co-infection - COVID-19, pneumocystis pneumonia and tuberculosis - in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus; the course of these infectious complications is described. A patient with a low level of CD4+ -T - lymphocytes, a high viral load, concomitant renal and hepatic pathology had long-term persistence of SARS-CoV-2 (longcoid). The presence of a "trio" of infectious diseases made timely diagnosis of tuberculosis difficult. During the COVID-19 pandemic, surveillance of individuals living with HIV should include a spectrum of investigations to rule out tuberculosis and opportunistic infections, especially in individuals with low CD4 cell counts, high viral load, lack of antiretroviral therapy, and clinical improvement with standard COVID-19 therapy for timely therapy and reduced mortality in such patients.
Modern approaches to pharmacotherapy of Alzheimer's disease

Published: November 2023

Currently, about 50 million people suffer from Alzheimer's disease, and this number will only increase over time. There are only four clinically approved drugs to treat this pathology, which include acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (Rivastigmine, Donepezil, and Galantamine) and one N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor antagonist (memantine). Although these drugs have a therapeutic effect by improving the cognitive, functional, and behavioral characteristics of patients, they still relieve symptoms of the disease rather than manifest the links of pathogenesis, including β-amyloid precursor protein and hyperphosphorylated tau protein formed during the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein. This group of drugs also has a number of undesirable effects on the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system and nervous activity. In this regard, new drugs are being developed now, directed against β-amyloid and affecting to reduce its production, aggregation, not allowing it to form plaques, the use of immunization method. There is also hyperphosphorylated tau protein, which is either not allowed to form or is immunized against. In addition to these methods, there are no less interesting ways to fight, such as the use of heat shock inducers, to activate the necessary chaperone family, or to reduce neuroinflammation by inhibiting tumor necrosis factors and using nutraceuticals. But, unfortunately, a large number of drugs cannot yet pass all 3 stages of clinical trials while maintaining their original therapeutic properties and without acquiring undesirable effects. That said, many drugs are either the basis for future drugs or are still participating in clinical trials themselves, showing encouraging results.
COVID-19 and arterial hypertension: points of contact and outcomes of the pathological process
Authors:   Omsk State Medical University, Dzhusoeva E.G. , Moiseeva M.V. ,   Omsk State Medical University
Published: November 2023

Today, the world is at the mercy of a new virus belonging to the coronavirus family called SARS-CoV-2, and the infection it causes is called COVID-19. The virus can be traced back to December 2019, and is known to have originated in Wuhan district of Hubei province in China. This highly contagious virus has spread to 220 countries and territories around the world, and by mid-March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized it as a pandemic. The infection spreads from person to person through close contact, from mostly symptomatic individuals and asymptomatic carriers. Studies have shown that arterial hypertension (AH), along with diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, were the most common comorbidities among patients with coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Arterial hypertension was consistently listed as the most common risk factor in patients with COVID-19. Several studies have suggested a link between the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and susceptibility to COVID-19, as well as a link between RAAS inhibitors and increased mortality in these patients. This has raised concerns about the potential association between AH (and its treatment) and susceptibility to COVID-19. There have been several follow-up studies examining the effect of comorbidities on outcome in these patients with conflicting results. Arterial hypertension has been shown to be more common in patients with an adverse outcome (admission to the ICU, use of a ventilator, or death). So far, there are no studies demonstrating an independent prognostic value of arterial hypertension on mortality in patients with COVID-19. There is much speculation about coronavirus infection and its association with various risk factors and underlying diseases. The purpose of this review is to summarize current knowledge about the relationship between AH and COVID-19 and its role in outcome in these patients.

Published: November 2023

Nosocomial infections significantly contribute to a patient’s morbidity and mortality, increasing healthcare costs. While previous research has assessed the effect of oral hygiene on the prevention of nosocomial infections and postoperative complications, few guidelines exist that offer evidence-based recommendations on pre- or peri-operative oral hygiene in the surgical setting. The Philippine Surgical Infection Society set out to develop a set of guidelines that provide evidencebased recommendations on oral hygiene for improving surgical outcomes for adoption in the Philippines. Six clinical questions defined the scope of the guidelines. A systematic review was performed to provide the evidence base to develop the recommendations. A consensus meeting participated by 15 representatives from 13 specialty surgical societies and societies concerned with infection control was conducted using the modified Delphi technique to finalize the set of recommendations. A consensus guideline with sixteen recommendations on the use of oral hygiene to improve surgical outcomes is presented for adoption and implementation. Key words: consensus guidelines, oral hygiene, surgical outcome

Authors: Guillermo Ma. Katrina , Macalindong Shiela
Published: November 2023

A significant challenge after performing resection of the esophagogastric region, is the reconstruction that follows. Esophagogastrostomy is a simple and direct method to restore gastrointestinal continuity using a single anastomosis but is associated with reflux esophagitis and anastomotic stenosis. This case report presents a 29-year-old man with a bleeding gastroesophageal junction leiomyoma who underwent a proximal gastrectomy and an esophagogastrostomy reconstruction with a double H-flap technique to reduce the incidence of gastric reflux. This illustrative description of the double H-flap technique created a valve mechanism that mimicked the function of the resected sphincter and cardia. This anti-reflux adjunct technique is reproducible and effective in preventing gastroesophageal reflux symptoms after an esophagogastrostomy. Key words: proximal gastrectomy, esophagogastrostomy, double flap technique, reflux esophagitis
Examination of Security Challenges in the East African Community (EAC) Region
Authors: Kaniki Abdulrahman
Published: November 2023

It is well settled worldwide that the most basic purpose of the state is to make people safe or feel safe within their secured state thereby gaining confidence, reassurance, and predictability of life. Partner states in the East African Community (EAC) strive to individually and collectively ensure that the security and development of the region and its people is guaranteed. This paper seeks to critically examine the security challenges in the EAC region, which range from resource – based conflicts, climate change, and organised crimes to maritime security. Data was collected through documentary review. It is concluded that much as the EAC region faces security challenges, efforts are made to address them. However, given the dynamic nature of those challenges, the efforts seem to be inadequate. The author recommends the establishment of a specific organ dedicated to security, having regional strategic engagement to tap the marine resources, strengthening regional security initiatives, enhancing the implementation of the legal regime to address the security challenges, the need for regional multijurisdictional taskforces and joint operations and spearheading implementation of regional and international security strategies.

SIGNIFIKANSI KONSEP KELAHIRAN KEMBALI MENURUT INJIL YOHANES 3 : 1 – 13, IMPLIKASI BAGI GEREJA MASA KINI
Authors: Nadeak Sanjay
Published: November 2023

The Gospel of John emphasizes God's sovereignty in His plan of salvation. More than the Synoptic Gospels, it emphasizes that no one can be saved without being drawn by the Holy Spirit. There are many passages in John's Gospel that emphasize the importance of salvation, because one cannot be saved without being drawn first to Christ by the Father. The new birth also uses the verb to be begotten (John 1:12-13), Likewise, humans cannot do any good to be begotten again to be a child of God. This phrase is full of the theme of grace. There is no denying that there is a strong emphasis on God's sovereign will, but for John, that does not make grace irresistible, nor does it deny the freedom of human will. Faith is a gift from God, because without the influence of the Holy Spirit who draws us in, we cannot hear and believe. This study uses qualitative research with a literature review approach, thus strengthening the results of this study

Indonesia, consisting of various ethnicities, customs, races, and beliefs, is a richness not possessed by other nations, but on the other hand, it can be a threat to division if these differences are not nurtured with good understanding, especially in the understanding of religious moderation. The values of tolerance among different religious communities can be developed through a moderate religious understanding. The officials of the Bethel Church Indonesia, as part of the Indonesian society and also as a church with a national orientation, play a crucial role in providing education to the congregation and the community, and can also serve as a driving force in strengthening religious moderation. Therefore, a foundation and understanding of how GBI officials can actively, inclusively, and practically contribute to achieving this goal are needed. This research employs a method known as descriptive research with a qualitative approach, where the phenomena or objects under study are clearly obtained. Therefore, in the overall process, data analysis techniques are utilized to explore various sources of information such as books, online and offline journals, both national and international, articles, and other bibliographic sources. In practice, it can be seen through the awareness and acceptance of ethnic or racial differences by preaching or teaching the congregation about the importance of understanding religious moderation, preserving and applying the noble values of the Indonesian nation, namely "Bhineka Tunggal Ika". Furthermore, providing an understanding to all officials that differences are a national wealth, developing inclusivism as an Indonesian cultural value through tangible actions like engaging in joint discussions, and conducting social activities together among communities and between churches and the community.

Advances of Wear Reduction of Artificial Joints: Regenerative Cartilage Artificial Joints
Authors: Zhang Jufan
Published: November 2023

The lifespan is a major concern for artificial joints when more younger patients are taking the total joint replacement operations. Wear is recognized as the main reason for the premature failure of implanted joints. So lowering the wear is one of the most effective way to extend the lifespan, which has attracted much efforts in both academia and industry. Development of new bio-materials is a main approach but contributes less in recent year. The research on surface roughness hasn’t given a definite solution in directing the industrial practice. The surface texturing functions well in improving the friction and wear of artificial joints, but the working mechanism is still ambiguous. Cushion or buffering layer is a promising solution to introduce elastic contact between the bearing surfaces, but cannot totally avoid debonding or shear stresses currently. Latest progress on regeneration of articular cartilage makes it possible to form hyaline cartilage in vitro onto bio-implant surfaces to reproduce the original properties of healthy joints which is definitely the most promising way.

Authors: Heeroma Alice , Toffrey Jane , Gwenin Christopher David
Published: November 2023

Our understanding of sepsis and its mechanisms have never been more important than they are today. In recent years we have seen sepsis manifest from bacterial infection to a broader range of pathogens, each with its unique responses from the body. This increased interest has only been further intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic and the renewed global attention towards viral-based infections and their interactions with sepsis. From Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to sequential organ failure assessment score (SOFA), studies have shown that early diagnosis is key, as well as finding the root of the infection to prevent further damage caused to the patient. Prompt treatment has contributed to the overall improvement of sepsis outcomes. This review summarizes the development of the cause, diagnosis, and treatments available to date.

Mortality Prediction of ICU Cardiovascular Patient: Time-Series Analysis
Authors: Moridani Mohammad Karimi
Published: November 2023

It is estimated that millions of deaths occur annually, which can be prevented when early diagnosis and correct treatment are provided in the intensive care unit (ICU). In addition to monitoring and treating patients, the physician of the ICU has the task of predicting the outcome of patients and identifying them. They are also responsible for the separation of patients who use special ICUs. Because not necessarily all patients hospitalized in ICU benefit from this unit, and hospitalization in a few cases will only lead to an easier death. Therefore, developing an intelligent method that can help doctors predict the condition of patients in the ICU is very useful. This paper aims to predict the mortality of cardiovascular patients hospitalized in the ICU using cardiac signals. In the proposed method, the condition of patients is predicted 30 minutes before death using various features extracted from the electrocardiogram (ECG) and heart rate variability (HRV) signals and intelligent methods. The paper's results showed that combining morphological, linear, and nonlinear features can predict the mortality of patients with accuracy and sensitivity of 96.7±6.7% and 94.1±5.8%, respectively. As a result, accurate classification of diseases and correct prediction of patients by reducing unnecessary monitoring can help optimize ICU beds' use. According to new and advanced techniques and technologies, it is possible to predict and treat many diseases in ICU, leading to longer patient survival.

Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) has now become a well-known new edge technology in the field of biomedical science to agriculture and food technology. Ionized gas known as cold atmospheric plasma has recently been the subject of intense inquiry by scientists for its potential application for treatment in oncology and dentistry. Air, Helium, Argon, Nitrogen, and other gases can all be used to create Cold Atmospheric Plasma. Cold plasma can effectively and safely inactivate spores, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and small molecules and thereby improving wound healing, combating microbial infections, and treating skin conditions with great efficiency. Interestingly the in vitro and in vivo demonstration of CAP has shown promising applications in cancer healing and treatment. The most widely employed technique for producing and sustaining a low-temperature plasma for use in technological and scientific applications involves applying an electric field to a neutral gas. The non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma jet (NAPPJ) and the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) have both been widely used in biomedical applications. This review aims to evaluate the emerging plasma technology - the basic science, technical aspects and provide insights of biomedical application in diverse area.

Objectives: Making an artificial intelligence (AI) classifier that uses the maternal age and an image of the implanted blastocyst to determine the probability of getting a live birth. Methods: The dataset comprised maternal age data and 407 images of blastocysts which led to live births and 246 images of blastocysts which led to aneuploid miscarriages, matched for maternal age. An AI system using deep learning was developed for predicting the classification and probability of a live birth. Results: The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the developed AI classifier were 0.75, 0.82, 0.64, 0.79, and 0.68, respectively. The area under the curve was 0.73 ± 0.04 (mean ± standard error). Conclusions: A classifier using AI for a blastocyst image combined with the maternal age showed potential in determining the probability of a live birth.
