Aim: Alcoholism is a major public health problem, and it has not yet been clarified which are the factors that influence the relapse of the disease. Aim of this research is to examine whether there is a connection between meaning of life in secondary abstainers from alcohol and variables (demographic, alcohol consumption and severity of addiction before abstinence) and to determine which variables are predictors of the meaning of life in secundary abstainers. Subjects and methods: The research was conducted in 2019 and 2020 at the County Hospital of Požega, at the Department of Neurology, Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology. 113 adults participated in this research who were diagnosed with alcohol addiction and are currently abstaining from alcohol. Results: Meaning of life in the examined addicts in abstinence is low positively related to the length of abstinence (p = 0.030), low negative with the number of hospitalizations due to alcohol addiction (p = 0.013), moderately negative with the severity of alcohol addiction before abstinence (p < 0.001) and moderately positive with financial status (p < 0.001). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that beeing unmerried (p = 0.021), financial status (p < 0.001) and severity of addiction (p < 0.001) are significant predictors of the meaning of life among abstainers from alcohol. Conclusion: It has been shown that alcoholism affects the meaning of life for alcohol addicts, and that it should be considered at the beginning and during the treatment of alcohol addicts.

Published: July 2024

Aim: Age-related disorders, such as dementia, are relevant for healthcare services and health systems worldwide. The prevalence of dementia across European countries is estimated to exceed 7 %, and may rise over time. Those patients are at increased risk for hospital admission and prolonged hospitalization, and such care increases the cost for the healthcare system. Less is known regarding patients with dementia in Greece that visit the Accident and Emergency departments (A&E) in general hospitals. The present retrospective study aimed to address this issue. Subjects and methods: The sample of patients and the control group were traced in the A&E department of the University Hospital of Ioannina, Northwest Greece. The study sample consisted of 100 patients with dementia, aged > 65 years and 100 matched controls. The median age of patients with dementia was 85 years, for the control group 83 years, and 63 % were females. In most cases the diagnosis had been made by primary care physicians, and in of patients 21 % by neurologists/psychiatrists. Results: In both groups a median of 2 comorbidities was recorded, with hypertension, heart failure and dyslipidaemia being the most common. Fever and falls were the most common reasons for dementia patients visiting the A&E department. Infection was the most common diagnosis in dementia patients, whereas in 17 % of cases no diagnosis was made and no interventions were needed. The probability of admission after an A&E visit was significantly higher for the dementia group, whereas there were no differences regarding length of hospital stay between patients and controls. Conclusions: The results of the study are in line with international research and highlight the need for the establishment of a national register for patients with dementia, that would enable information exchange between primary and tertiary care and would enable proper diagnosis, management and discharge arrangements.

Authors: Glavina Jelaš Ivana , Filipović Franjo , Pranjić Ivan
Published: July 2024

Aim: Crisis negotiation is a very effective police tool for the successful and peaceful resolution of various types of crisis interventions, with different types of interventions being the focus of this review. Materials and Methods: One of the most effective communication skills negotiators use is active listening. Active listening involves focusing attention on what the person is saying without judging, while non-verbally and verbally letting the person know that he is being listened to. In the negotiation context, it calms the perpetrator, encourages him to talk, enables rapport building between the negotiator and the perpetrator, and encourages a change in the perpetrator’s behaviour. Results: Techniques that are most effective in crisis negotiation are paraphrasing, mirroring, “I” messages, minimal encouragements, pause, open-ended questions and emotion labelling. The paper also describes important factors for the effective use of active listening in crisis negotiation. Conclusion: Important factors for the effective use of active listening in crisis negotiation are non-judgmental acceptance, rapport building, maintaining dignity, authenticity, and empathy.

AVANÇOS E DIFICULDADES NA RECEPÇÃO DA LUMEN GENTIUM
Authors: Routhier Gilles
Published: June 2024

Soixante ans après la fin du concile, la réception de Vatican II, processus long et complexe, se poursuit encore. Résumée dans la notion de « peuple de Dieu » adoptée avec enthousiasme par l’ensemble des fidèles puisqu’elle marquait la fin de la marginalisation des laïcs, l’ecclésiologie conciliaire a dû être approfondie. Si l’Assemblée extraordinaire du Synode des évêques de 1985 semble marquer un recul, elle a obligé un approfondissement exigeant, approfondissement qui a conduit à une résurgence au cours du pontificat de François qui reprend l’enseignement du concile sur le peuple de Dieu, la collégialité, la participation active de tous à la mission et le sensus fidei qui appartient à tous les fidèles.

This study aims to investigate the interfacial tension, emulsion stability, and the impact on oil displacement effectiveness of mixed systems containing nonionic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants at different ratios. To achieve this, three different emulsion stability formulations were prepared by mixing betaine and nonionic surfactants in ratios of 1:1, 3:2, and 3:1 respectively. By adjusting the proportions of betaine and nonionic surfactants, variations in interfacial tension and emulsion formation among the three mixed systems were studied to analyze the mechanism of interaction between betaine and nonionic surfactants and evaluate their effects on crude oil displacement and enhanced oil recovery in reservoirs. Subsequently, microscopic and macroscopic oil displacement experiments were conducted on the three mixed systems, along with experiments on emulsion flow resistance. The aim was to verify the oil displacement effectiveness of different mixed systems and further understand their potential applications in reservoirs. By comprehensively analyzing the experimental results, optimal ratios and conditions for the mixed systems were determined. The experimental results indicate that the emulsification system formed by mixing betaine and nonionic surfactants at a ratio of 3:1 achieves molecular synergies through electrostatic interactions and mixed adsorption with betaine, resulting in a compact arrangement of interface membranes and demonstrating a synergistic effect in reducing interfacial tension to an ultra-low value of 10 -4 mN/m. Additionally, as the proportion of betaine surfactant increases, the viscosity of the aqueous phase liquid film increases, the rate of thinning of the liquid film slows down, the rate of water release slows down, and the stability of the emulsion increases. Microscopic oil displacement experiments verified that the three mixed systems increase oil washing efficiency through low interfacial tension and emulsification stripping action, thereby increasing the oil displacement mechanism's coefficient. Emulsion flow resistance experiments demonstrated that as the proportion of betaine surfactant increases, the system exhibits better plugging ability. However, macroscopic oil displacement experiments revealed differences in compatibility between different emulsion stability solutions and rocks with different permeabilities. The mixed system of betaine and nonionic surfactants at a ratio of 3:1 exhibits the best emulsification plugging ability in rocks with a permeability of 109mD, while the 1:1 mixed system performs best in rocks with a permeability of 12mD. This holds significant theoretical and practical significance for reservoir development and enhanced production.

Abstract: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents the most severe manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD), characterized by a particularly poor prognosis. Consequently, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is imperative in the event of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Interleukin-22 (IL-22) may be a new CAD biomarker because it signals and regulates immune and inflammatory responses. Objectives: To investigate the differences in circulating IL-22 levels between patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI and healthy controls; and to determine if these differences are associated with the culprit coronary artery, door-to-balloon time (DBT), final angiographic result, CAD classification, and the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: A total of 280 participants were recruited, comprising 210 STEMI cases and 70 healthy controls. Participants underwent clinical and angiographic evaluation, and serum IL-22 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney and Fisher’s tests, with a p < 0.05 significant. Results: Serum IL-22 levels were lower in cases (149.63, 84.99–294.56) than in controls (482.67, 344.33–641.00), p < 0.001. Lower IL-22 levels were associated with the right coronary artery (RCA) (144.57, 70.84–242.43; 146.00, 63.60–279.67; 191.71, 121.80–388.97), p = 0.033. IL-22 was lower with shorter DBT (≤ 60 minutes, 106.00, 49.60–171.71; > 60 minutes, 153.00, 88.86–313.60), p = 0.043. Conclusions: IL-22 levels were significantly lower in patients with STEMI compared to healthy controls.

Authors: Nurwahyu Putra Romadhani Andry , Imanuddin Iqbal , Tejomukti Teddy , Watanabe Yasuhiro , Murakami Takenobu , Tajiri Yuki
Published: July 2024

Background: Olfactory Neuroblastoma (ONB), so called esthesioneuroblastoma, is a rare malignant tumor of the sinonasal tract. ONB represents 6.3% of all sinonasal tract malignancies, with a prevalence of 0.4 cases per million population. These tumors are slow-growing and there may be intracranial extension of the tumor. Nasal obstruction, anosmia, recurrent epistaxis and pain are typical early manifestations. Imaging studies are essential in determining tumor extension and surgical planning of ONB. Endonasal biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis of ONB. The case provides a basis for discussion of ONB and highlights the possibility of extension of this tumor.
Case: A 45-year-old male presented with a generalized clonic seizure, conjugate eye deviation, and pre-seizure headache. Post-seizure, the patient was unconscious and incontinent, later appearing conscious but confused. The patient had a history of seizures at home and in the ER, along with occasional headaches over the past year. The patient described nasal congestion, decreased smell, and recurrent nosebleeds, having undergone ethmoidectomy in 2020 for papilloma.
Discussion: The patient experienced symptoms of seizures, headache, and nasal disturbances. Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) tumor was detected after comprehensive examination. Treatment involves multimodal therapy, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, with prognosis depending on tumor stage and grade.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis of ONB is necessary to prevent further tumor progression. Intracranial extension of the ONB should be carefully investigated. Imaging as well as histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations are very helpful in identifying the location, metastasis and degree of malignancy of the tumor.

Published: July 2024

Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients required for growing rice. Still, the efficiency of urea fertilizer application is very low (20-40%) due to the nitrogen loss process, one of which is denitrification. This study aims to determine the effects of combining Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC), plant spacing, and fertilization on nitrogen dynamics in paddy fields. The combination of treatments are expected to reduce the nitrogen loss in paddy fields, and plants can absorb it efficiently. A total of six treatments included Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) (2 levels: without MFC and with MFC), plant spacing (2 levels: conventional spacing 25 cm × 25 cm and jajar legowo spacing 25 cm × 12.5 cm × 50 cm), and fertilization (2 levels: without fertilizer and with 500 kg ha-1 of NPK fertilizer), with three replications for each combination. The observed parameters included total soil nitrogen, nitrate, nitrogen uptake, chlorophyll, nitrogen-fixing and denitrifying bacteria, and N2O gas emissions. The results showed that combining MFC, conventional spacing, and NPK fertilizer in the paddy fields resulted in a high total soil nitrogen (0.44%). The results showed different effects on total soil nitrogen in the MFC and fertilization treatments, leading to increased nitrate levels, nutrient uptake, and chlorophyll. Increasing total soil nitrogen significantly contributes to leaf development and significantly aids photosynthesis. The integration of MFC and fertilization observed in this study resulted in a real impact on nitrogen dynamics in paddy fields. This combined treatment effectively reduces total nitrogen loss due to denitrification in paddy fields, thereby increasing the efficiency of uptake by plants.

Comparing Differential Item Functioning Based On Multilevel Mixture Item Response Theory, Mixture Item Response Theory And Manifest Groups
Authors: Doğan Ömer , Atar Burcu
Published: June 2024

Studies on the differential item functioning (DIF) are usually considered in the context of manifest groups. Recently, with the increase in the number of analyses conducted with mixture models, investigating the situations that cause differences between groups has come to the forefront. In addition, it is considered important to examine the DIF with mixture models in which levels are also handled. In this study, it is aimed to compare the results of the multilevel mixture item response theory (MMIRT) model and the mixture item response theory (MIRT) model and the results of the DIF analyses based on the manifest groups. The research sample consists of students who answered the second booklet in the electronic Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (eTIMSS) 2019 and coded their gender. The answers given to 15 items were analyzed with the Mantel Haenszel (MH) method for the gender variable according to the manifest groups, and with the selection of the most appropriate models by varying the number of groups and the number of levels according to the MIRT model and the MMIRT model. DIF analyses of the obtained latent groups were also performed with the MH method. In the light of the findings, the number of items displaying DIF in both the MIRT model and the MMIRT model is higher than the manifest groups. While only one item displayed DIF in the analysis according to gender, 14 items displayed DIF according to the MIRT model and seven items displayed DIF according to the MMIRT model. There is not a complete overlap in the number of DIF items and DIF effect sizes found as a result of the MIRT model and MMIRT model analyses. For this reason, a level analysis should be conducted before the analyses and if there is multi-levelness, the analyses should be conducted by taking this situation into consideration.

With the help of a retrospective analysis of 474 cases of hypertension worsening during the year, patients length of stay in the hospital, the amount of bills issued depending on the length of stay and the compliance of the conducted volume of examination with the requirements of the criteria for the quality of medical care were studied. Subsequently, using simulation modeling, a comparative analysis of the redistribution of patient flows was performed in order to identify optimal economic and logistical solutions. Results. When comparing the length of stay of patients, it was revealed that in 63.9% of cases, discharge occurred from dynamic observation beds during the first day. The analysis of compliance with the criteria for the quality of medical care showed that in the inpatient emergency department, almost the entire required amount of diagnosis and treatment is performed in a minimum period of time. If there is an inpatient emergency department in the hospital structure, the work model becomes significantly more intensive, but underfunded. Conclusion. The capabilities of inpatient emergency departments ensure short-term treatment of patients in compliance with the quality criteria of specialized care, while maintaining a large throughput compared to the therapeutic department. Based on the results obtained, the payment of cases should not be accompanied by the use of a sign of interruption of the case.

The purpose of the study: to study the effectiveness of organizational and legal measures and new practices to against HIV infection introduced in the Novosibirsk region in 2019–2022.Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the State Medical Institution of the NGO «City Infectious Clinical Hospital No. 1», a division of the Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS.Results. By Order of the Ministry of Health of the Novosibirsk Region No. 3429 of 10/15/2019, mandatory HIV screening was provided for all hospitalized with unknown HIV status during the year, which significantly increased the coverage of HIV screening. In 2019–2022, an AIDS Center information system was introduced for all patients with HIV infection admitted to inpatient treatment: 6,938 notifications were sent to the AIDS Center. Of the 2,717 patients who required measures to increase the level of adherence and involvement in ART, 18.9% of patients resumed ART after the measures taken; 36.5% started taking ART for the first time. The order of the State Medical Institution of the Infectious Clinical Hospital № 247 «On the organization of family support in the department «Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS» dated 02.08.2021 provides the principle of monitoring the whole family with one doctor, which improves the adherence of children and parents to ART. For 4 months of functioning of family support, the share of parents receiving ART and having a high commitment increased from 15.5% to 77.3%. Among 45 children who had a previously determined level of HIV RNA viral load on the background of ART, 20% (9 abs.) registered an undetectable level of viral load for 3 months, and 13.3% (6 abs.) – for 2 months.Conclusion. The organizational and legal measures implemented in 2019–2022 in the Novosibirsk region and new practices to combat HIV infection have shown high efficiency: the coverage of dispensary observation of patients with HIV infection increased from 79.3% to 86.5%, and the coverage of antiretroviral therapy – from 74.5% to 85.2%.
THE WESTMED: ADVANCING MEDITERRANEAN COOPERATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN BLUE ECONOMY
Authors: Olmos Carbonell Elena
Published: July 2024

The Mediterranean is a unique spot in Earth in which different realities collide, particularly in its coasts. Regional cooperation in the area has been key to search for common solutions to common challenges. However, the multifunctionality of the Mediterranean shores and the different issues faced by this region – environmental, social and economic -, call for a change in the economic model in which the uniqueness of this area is recognised. The Blue Economy is the proposed alternative, which tries to respond to the current challenges while contributing to the sustainable development. However, the transition to this model cannot rely merely in diplomacy, but requires action-based initiatives, in which the stakeholders are placed in the center. The WestMED Initiative manages to provide that innovative approach. It focuses on the promotion of Blue Economy in the Western Mediterranean and tries to create a safer and more secure maritime space in the Mediterranean, a smart and resilient blue economy and a better governance of the sea. Despite all the innovative and positive aspects embedded to it, this article remarks that it can potentially fail in its ultimate goal – sustainable development – unless some changes are made in its governing structure and priorities. Nevertheless, its contribution to Blue Economy and to the development of the Mediterranean make it valuable to be analysed.

The educational tendency in Indonesia to equalize intelligence standards between students through formal tests can kill students' potential intelligence, interests and talents. Minimal awareness of the concept of multiple intelligences (multiple intelligences) educational institutions in Indonesia need more innovative solutions so that efforts to improve the quality of education can be more optimized. The MIR program innovation initiated by Munif Chatib is the right solution so that the concept of different student intelligence can be understood and appreciated as a basis for determining methods and styles in learning activities. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research with a case study type of research (case study). The data collection technique used is an in-depth interview (indepth interview), participatory observation and documentation processed using Miles, Huberman and Saldana's interactive model data analysis technique which consists of four stages in the form of data collection, data condensation, data presentation and data verification.

This research is motivated by the existence of competition for educational institutions that are not paid attention to, which is caused by the lack of innovation by the madrasah head in determining strategies to improve the quality of education, causing the low quality and achievements obtained by the educational institution itself. Thus, a quality madrasah is certainly a madrasah that is able to produce outputs that are in accordance with market needs that can compete in various competitive eras. This study aims to describe research-based madrasah innovations carried out by madrasah stakeholders for the advancement of education. To answer this research, researchers used a phenomenological qualitative approach, with a case study research type. Data collection techniques include indepth interview, observation and documentation, besides using 3 approaches to data validity, namely extended observation, increasing persistence and data triangulation. Based on the results of study showed the conclusion that MAN 2 Kudus Central Java has a Research-Based Madrasah Program Team which is tasked with enriching creative ideas and reflecting on creative ideas about research issues by involving teachers, and researcher partnering (university researchers), through madrasah forums researching innovations at the beginning of each new school year and evaluating creative ideas by its team as part of integrated success efforts, both at national and international levels. The implications of these activities are material implications, which include the realization of commercial research products such as malaria drugs that can be mass produced, while non-material implications include the interest of the community of education service users which is increasing every year.
Diffusive Leakage of scCO2 in Shaly Caprocks: Effect of Geochemical Reactivity and Anisotropy
Authors: Cruz Felipe , Dang Son , Curtis Mark , Rai Chandra
Published: July 2024

Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) trapping mechanisms within carbon geostorage (CGS) primarily hinge on the upper caprock system, with shales being favored for their fine-grained nature and geological abundance. Experimental assessments of CO2 reactivity in brine-saturated shales reveal microstructural changes, raising concerns about long-term CO2 leakage risks. Existing models of scCO2 transport through caprocks lack consideration for shale anisotropy. This study addresses these gaps by investigating the diffusive properties and propagation of geochemical reactivity in shaly caprocks, accounting for anisotropy. Horizontal and vertical core samples from three shale formations with varying petrophysical characteristics underwent mineralogical, total organic carbon (TOC), porosity, and velocity measurements. scCO2 treatment for up to 3 weeks at 150°F and 3,000 psi was conducted. The propagation of geochemical reactivity was monitored by multiple surface X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements and fine polishing. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based H2O-D2O fluid exchange protocol was used to quantify effective diffusivities and tortuosities parallel and perpendicular to bedding. Results indicate preferential surface reactivity toward carbonate minerals; however, the apparent reaction diffusivity of the shaly caprock is notably slow (~10−15 m2/s). This aligns with previous experimental and reactive transport modeling studies, emphasizing long timescales for carbonate dissolution reactions to influence shale caprock properties. Shale-effective diffusivities display anisotropy increasing with clay content, where diffusivities parallel to bedding exceed those perpendicular by at least three times. Faster horizontal diffusion in shaly confining zones should be considered when estimating diffusive leakage along faults penetrating these zones, a significant risk in CGS. Post-scCO2 treatment, diffusivity changes vary among samples, increasing within the same order of magnitude in the clay-rich sample. Nonsteady-state modeling of scCO2 diffusion suggests limited caprock penetration over 100 years, with a minimal increase from 5 m to 7 m post-scCO2 treatment for the clay-rich sample. This study extends existing literature observations on the slow molecular diffusion of scCO2 within shaly caprocks, integrating the roles of geochemical reactions and shale anisotropy under the examined conditions.
