Authors: Vinh Trinh Quoc , Huy Dinh Tran Ngoc , Yakutseny Sergey
Published: November 2022

The objective of the paper is to figure out What are Composition and properties of natural hydrocarbons And Environment effects. By using descriptive method for primary model, synthesis methods and process analysis and analysis of difficulties and discussion, We have already noted that The solubility of oils depends not only on their properties and composition, but also on the properties solvent and its temperature. The lighter the oil, the higher the temperature and the lower the salinity of the water, especially when hydrocarbonate-sodium composition, the higher the solubility of oil in water. We emphasize that in the field of environmental impacts on the environment with processes simulating fractional distillation of oil, one has to deal not only with refineries or when utilizing heavy fractions - fuel oil, tar, etc., but also when extracting heavy high-viscosity oil by reservoir combustion.

Authors: Lewis Chisengele , Gilbert Omiat Emmanuel
Published: November 2022

The experiment was conducted at the JICA-Tsukuba International Center Experiment Field during the April –October 2015 cropping season. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the influence of Nitrogen fertilizer and plant density on growth and yield of NERICA 4 upland rice. In this study, a split-plot experimental design was used with three replications. The treatments comprised of Nitrogen fertilizer at 0 and 60 Kg N/ha; while planting was done using the dibbling method at spacings of 30cm x 30cm, 30cm x 15cm, and 20cm x 15cm which resulted into plant densities of 11.1 hills/m2, 22.2 hills/m2 and 33.3 hills/m2 respectively. Results showed that Nitrogen application increased tiller number, plant length, leaf area index and SPAD Value at both maximum tillering and heading stages. The analyzed data on yield and yield components at (HSD 5%) showed no significant difference in panicle number/m2, spikelet number/panicle, percentage of ripened grains, 1000 grains weight and paddy yield between plant densities at both 0, and 60 kg N/ha. However, plant density of 22.2 hills/m2 resulted in the highest paddy yield of 2.79 t/ha and 3.77 t/ha at both Nitrogen levels 0, and 60 kg N/ha respectively. Plant density S2 (22.2 hills/m2) was the optimum for NERICA 4 upland rice for increased growth and yield

Published: November 2022

In a medical or biological context, stress can be depicted as a physical, mental, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension which can initiate the "fight or flight" response, a complex reaction of neurologic and endocrinologic systems. There are several different types of stress that range from eustress, which is apositive and exciting form of stress, to chronic stress, which has been linked tomany serious health issues and is the type of negative stress most often mentionedin the news. While we want to manage or eliminate the negative types of stress, wealso want to keep positive forms of stress in our lives to help us remain vital andalive. To manage this negative stress, firstly we need to identify the stressors andthen we need to try to apply the 4 A’s, avoid, alter, adapt, or accept accordingly. We must not opt for addiction as easier way out. Rather we have to concentratemore on nutrition, exercise, outdoor aerobic activities which help in the secretion of endorphin hormone which acts as a mood elevator, stress buster. We need toprioritize what to do in a day, then concentrate more on what we have completed or accomplished for the day, rather than what we are yet to finish. We must set asidesome time each day for ownself and find something that helps to relax, such asreading a book, going for a walk, listening to music, or spending time with a friendor a pet. Joining a choir or a gym helps some people. Breathing exercises, aromatherapy etc. are also coming out as measures to combat stress. In our present social scenario we must deal this stress issue soberly and manage it properly. Keywords Eustress, chronic stress, 4 A’s, stress buster, exercise, outdoor aerobic activities

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Zoology, Pingla Thana Mahavidyalaya Maligram, Paschim Medinipur, Pin-721140, India, Chaudhuri Adwitiya
Published: November 2022

The aim of the present study was to establish a global bioidentification system in the form of a reference sequencelibrary where fish species inhabiting river Murti were delineated by a particular sequence denoted as genetic‘barcode’.40 species representing 27 genera, 16 families and 5 orders were collected along different altitudinal gradients if river Murti. Mitochondrial DNA was isolated from the samples followed by amplification of COI gene, alignment by CLUSTAL W and submission to GenBank. The average nucleotide frequencies were calculated whereall the fishes showed relatively higher GC content at second codon position. Haplotypes showed gradually decreasinggenetic distance within orders, families, genera with very low genetic distance within species indicating markedgenetic divergence beyond species boundaries. The average transitional pairs were found more frequent than averagetransversional pairs. The Neighbour Joining tree revealed distinct clusters formed by members of order Cypriniformes, Siluriformes, Perciformes, Synbranchiformes and Beloniformes, where the conspecific individualswere always found to cluster under the same node supported by high bootstrap value, while dissimilar species wereclustered under separate nodes, ensuring unambiguous identification of species. The research work suggests that COI barcoding can be taken up as a sensible approach to eliminate obscurity in the identification of the fish fauna withapplications in its management and conservation of the species inhabiting in specific microhabitats. Keywords: COI gene, DNA Barcode, sequence library, unambiguous identification, conservation.

Abstract: Internet of things is an emerging technology that efficiently and effectively improve our daily life activities. It reduces the cost of living by automating the manual processes. It integrates physical objects and devices via internet for synchronized communication. Currently the cost of electricity is reaching the sky so there is a need for some sources that can produce electricity naturally without any cost. Here, solar panels and solar plants take place for producing electricity in natural manner with sun light. Photo voltaic cells are used in these systems that converts the sun light into electricity. Mostly the solar systems are configured in rural or agricultural areas where electricity mediums are still not available. These systems are manually operated by humans. So there is need of efficient approach which automatically control and monitor the current, voltage and other parameters of solar systems and provides real time statistics to users. This research paper proposes an IOT based approach for solar power consumption and monitoring that allow the users to monitor or control the obtained power and EV battery. Majorly, solar plants are built in the locations where people cannot reach on daily basis so this approach allows the people to virtually control their systems from faraway places.
Constitucionalismo ou governança global? o pragmatismo na busca por um desenvolvimento sustentável
Authors: De Sousa Neto José Antonio , Machado Teixeira Fabel Luciana , Federici Gomes Magno
Published: November 2022

O estudo tem como objetivo avaliar e contrapor, em função dos grandes desafios globais da atualidade, os fundamentos atuais relacionados à busca por uma melhor governança global, vis-à-vis à proposição teórica a favor da construção de um modelo de constitucionalismo global. Foram utilizados o método jurídico-teórico e o raciocínio dedutivo, com técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. O trabalho apresenta o argumento e evidencias fáticas e documentais de que o caminho pragmático para enfrentar o desafio de um desenvolvimento sustentável global deve ter um lastro embasado mais na evolução e aprimoramento de pilares de uma governança global do que na generalização de princípios e postulados jurídicos do constitucionalismo em uma escala mundial. O trabalho também argumenta e traz evidencias concretas de que um caminho mais pragmático e tangível para o desenvolvimento de uma melhor governança global já está sendo percorrido pelos próprios mercados e em particular pela evolução dos princípios, das práticas e normativas que direcionam as decisões de alocação de recursos financeiros. A pesquisa se justifica em função da premência das questões ambientais e de seu impacto em larga escala no desenvolvimento econômico global, suas consequências sociais e implicações na preservação dos direitos humanos.
National Truth Commission in Brazil: the Thread of History and the Right to Memory and Truth
Authors: Oliveira Ramon Rebouças Nolasco de , Cabral Rafael Lamera Giesta
Published: November 2022

The article aims to problematize the issues of memory and Transitional Justice from the context of the establishment of the Brazilian National Truth Commission – (CNV, in Portuguese). The disputes about what to remember, how to remember, and what to forget (or not to forget) can become very complex in times of political polarization. By problematizing the Brazilian case between 2008 and 2014, we seek to highlight how the institution path of the CNV dealt with legislative and empirical obstacles around memory, history, forgetting, and resentment. Methodologically, the research used primary sources (legislative and judicial documents, reports, opinions) and secondary sources (specialized literature on the subject). Using the descriptive method, we present the Brazilian transitional context and the course of the CNV to demonstrate how the tension between resentment and the right to memory and the right to truth were organized by the Commission. While the outcome of the CNV Report is relevant, the accountability of human rights violators in Brazil is neutralized by the justice system. The promise of a public policy on memory remains in oblivion controlled by political elites.

Authors: M.Y Azari , S.A Syed Ahmad Iskandar , D.R Ossen
Published: November 2022

The UTM’s M.Arch programme revitalized its Design Studio programme, also known as the Architectural Design Thesis (ADT), when it introduced the Thesis Supervisory Panel system in 2013. Developed as an expansion from the preceding 5-year B.Arch and 3+3 Integration programme, the ADT expanded the previous 2-stage final year Design Studio spanning over two semesters into four, introducing the TSP, implementing the vertical studio and allowing students to choose their own paths. The programme was developed from the Workbase system, a hands-on, master-led Design Studio approach influenced by Ecole des Beaux Arts and Bauhaus. The authors intend to tell the story of the programme and its changes throughout the years. This paper records the growth and development of the TSPs in the M.Arch programme, tracing its origin in the Workbase practiced since the 1980s with data collected from the Thesis Coordinator’s files, departmental publications and documentations and have been organized in a simple narrative. By framing the narrative on the back story of the TSPs, the paper offer better understanding on the inner workings of the UTM M.Arch studio programme and encourages improving and strengthening the established system and opens up new studies that could enrich and diversify it further.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender o papel das políticas públicas para o fortalecimento da agricultura familiar, especificamente dos integrantes do Grupo Agroecológico do Remanso, situado em Canguçu/RS. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos foram utilizados: revisão bibliográfica sobre a temática; coleta de dados primários através dos trabalhos de campo; análise e organização dos dados. O Grupo Agroecológico do Remanso realiza suas atividades de produção e comercialização desde o ano de 1995. Os resultados demonstram que, apesar de nos últimos anos haver a ampliação de Programas e políticas públicas vinculadas aos agricultores familiares, estas ainda são insuficientes para promover o fortalecimento da agricultura de base agroecológica. A ausência do Estado, na consolidação de políticas públicas especificas para a agroecologia coloca em risco a permanência destes agricultores.

Quilombismo, amefricanidade e educação:
Authors: D'Arrochella Marcio Luiz Gonçalves , Da Conceição Corrêa Marco Aurélio , Sotero Elaine , Santos dos Reis Tatiana
Published: November 2022

O Quilombismo do intelectual Abdias do Nascimento (1980) proporciona, através das estéticas produzidas pelo cinema negro brasileiro, paralelos com comunidades e representações similares pela América Latina. O cinema negro (CARVALHO, 2005) é um movimento que protagoniza negras e negros, tanto atrás como na frente das câmeras, tendo como foco principal de suas questões narrativas a raça. Os quilombos são um traço da continuidade histórica com o legado tradicional da África. Originalmente espaços de resistência do regime escravista, os quilombos se ressignificam como espaços de criação de redes e potências contrárias ao racismo (BRASIL, 2012). Encontramos similaridades com nossas relações raciais nos movimentos políticos e estéticos, com a ideia de amefricanidade de Lelia González (1988), por toda América Latina. O objetivo do trabalho é analisar representações cinematográficas dos quilombos na historiografia do cinema brasileiro, traçando semelhanças pela diáspora, e possibilitar reflexões pedagógicas antirracistas. Inspirados por iniciativas recentes, como as do cineasta pioneiro Zózimo Bulbul (CARVALHO, 2012), como metodologia fizemos uma revisão bibliográfica e filmográfica para evidenciarmos que existem cada vez mais produções audiovisuais por toda América Latina carregadas de reivindicações estético-políticas para as questões raciais em diáspora.

Purpose: Croup is a clinical manifestation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children. The Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 usually causes an upper respiratory tract infection. We investigated the differences between croups caused by COVID-19 and by other respiratory viruses (ORV).Methods: We reviewed clinical characteristics, therapeutic measures, and the Westley Croup Score of children with croup who visited the emergency department of Gyeongsang National University Hospital from January 1 through April 7, 2022. According to the laboratory-confirmed viruses, they were divided into 2 groups: COVID-19 and ORV. Between the 2 groups, we compared the abovementioned features. Moderate-to-severe croup was defined by a Westley Croup Score of 3 or higher. Results: A total of 20 children were diagnosed with croup caused by COVID-19 (n = 11; median age, 18 months) or by ORV (n = 9; 7 months). Median Westley Croup Score was higher in the COVID-19 group than in the ORV group (5.0 [range, 0-10.0] vs. 2.0 [1.0-5.0]; P = 0.031). Among the components of the scoring system, only stridor showed a significant difference (e.g., “stridor at rest”: COVID-19, 8 of 11 vs. ORV, 2 of 9; P = 0.046). Median C-reactive protein concentration was higher in the COVID-19 group (3.2 vs. 0.4 mg/L; P = 0.007). Severity of the COVID-19 group was marginally higher than that of the ORV group in terms of the median oxygen saturation (95% vs. 98%; P = 0.056) and the proportions of moderate-to-severe croup (9 of 11 vs. 3 of 9; P = 0.065) and application of high-flow nasal cannula (4 of 11 vs. 0 of 9; P = 0.094).Conclusion: Croup caused by COVID-19 during the period of dominance of the Omicron variant outbreak might be more severe than croup caused by ORV.

This study aimed to analyze the level of social, economic, and ecological progress of the Oil Palm Village communities and compare the level of social, economic, and ecological progress between the Oil Palm Village and Non-Oil Palm Village communities. Indonesia is one of the major palm oil-producing countries in the world. Palm oil has brought economic benefits nationally and also to local communities. However, in its development, there has been a controversy surrounding the palm oil commodity, namely in the case of Indonesian palm oil which is related to the issues of deforestation and territorialization due to the economic interests of palm oil versus the existence of forest areas. This study used a Quantitative Approach with Secondary Data Methods from primary sources (Ministry of Village, Development of Disadvantage Region, and Transmigration, BPS, and Directorate General of Plantation) with the village communities as the unit of analysis. As many as 524 village communities were selected from the population of Oil Palm Villages and Non-Oil Palm Villages in eight provinces of Indonesia’s oil palm centers with a combination of Purposive Multistage Sampling and Propensity Score Matching methods. Descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, analysis of the difference in progress using the Difference in Difference (DID) model, and the binary logistic regression method were carried out in this study. The results of the study revealed the facts that there has been an increase in social, economic, and ecological progress in various Oil Palm Village communities. The level of social, economic, and ecological progress of Oil Palm Village communities is higher than that of Non-Oil Palm Village communities. These facts indicate that the community sustainability level of the Oil Palm Village communities is superior to that of the Non-Oil Palm Village communities.

Power effect on the properties of copper nitride films as solar absorber deposited in pure nitrogen atmosphere
Authors: Rodríguez-Tapiador M.I , Merino J. , Jawhari T. , Muñoz-Rosas A.L. , Bertomeu J. , Fernández S.
Published: November 2022

Nowadays, the copper nitride (Cu N) is of great
interest as a new solar absorber material, flexible and lightweight thin
film solar cells. This material is a metastable semiconductor,
non-toxic, composed of earth-abundant elements, and its band gap energy
can be easily tunable in the range 1.4 to 1.8 eV. For this reason, it
has been proposed for many applications in the solar energy conversion
field. The main aim of this work is to evaluate the properties of the Cu
N thin films fabricated by reactive radio-frequency
(RF) magnetron sputtering at different RF power values to determine its
potential as light absorber. The Cu N films were
fabricated at room temperature (RT) from a Cu metallic target at the RF
power ranged from 25 to 200 W on different substrates (silicon and
glass). The pure nitrogen flux was set to 20 sccm, and the working
pressures were set to 3.5 Pa and 5 Pa. The XRD results showed a
transition from (100) to (111) preferred orientations when RF power
increased; the AFM images revealed a granular morphology, while FTIR and
Raman spectra exhibited the characteristics peaks related to Cu-N bonds,
which became narrower when the RF power increased. Finally, to stablish
the suitability of these films as absorber, the band gap energy was
calculated from transmission spectra.

Published: November 2022

La apicultura es una tradición agropecuaria milenaria que consiste en alojar un enjambre de abejas en colmenas, obteniendo de ellas la miel y otros productos naturales como propóleos, polen, jalea real y medicinas, y al mismo tiempo es amigable con el medio ambiente, pues permite la conservación de las diferentes especies vegetales, protegiendo la biodiversidad de una región o zona en particular. En Colombia la Cadena Productiva de las Abejas y Apicultura (CPAA) informa que la miel no es vista competitivamente en el sector agropecuario del país, pese a que se lleva a cabo por instituciones públicas y privadas, cooperativas, empresas y asociaciones. Las abejas sin aguijón o meliponas son nativas del continente americano y propias de áreas tropicales y subtropicales, de las cuales se han identificado más de 350 especies, dentro de las cuales algunas producen una miel de alta calidad y sirven como polinizadores para las flores de numerosas especies, en bosques nativos y campos de agricultura. Actualmente estas abejas están amenazadas por la destrucción de los bosques nativos dada por la expansión de la agricultura y la ganadería, por el daño ocasionado por personas que desconocen sobre su cría, la forma de obtener su miel y por ello destruyen colonias enteras. Este trabajo muestra cómo implementar un sistema sencillo de meliponicultura ofreciendo dentro de las mismas oportunidades de ocupación laboral, afianzar el conocimiento sobre las abejas meliponas para su conservación e investigación y generación de ingresos por venta de productos naturales, conservación ecológica, alimentación sana y alternativas medicinales.

El objetivo de este trabajo de proyección social fue divulgar los avances en las técnicas para la producción agropecuaria que son pertinentes para la Orinoquia Colombiana, así como informar acerca de las tendencias en tecnología y estilos de vida, y poder contribuir de esta forma al desarrollo de las comunidades rurales de la región a través del podcast ‘’Espacio Rural’’, utilizando métodos de comunicación masiva tales como Spotify, Ivoox y YouTube. El proyecto inicio en el año 2020 en el departamento del Meta, se catalogó como un proceso de investigación cualitativa utilizando como método la participación de la población objetivo, para ello, se contemplaron tres etapas que son la etapa de preproducción, producción y posproducción. Para ello se realizó una encuesta a 137 productores agropecuarios de la región, se indagó acerca de los temas de mayor interés, así como los canales de fácil acceso para llegar a la información que se abordó en cada programa. El 70,1% de las personas encuestadas consideró que es muy importante la actualización en temas agropecuarios esto debido a que la mayoría de estas personas se encuentran involucradas en el sector, el 33,6% indicó que el tema de interés en el sector es la producción de grandes especies seguido con un 29,9% que mostró interés por temas asociados a especies menores y el 94.9% indicó que está dispuesto a escuchar un podcast sobre estos temas. La utilización del podcast como instrumento difusor de información es una herramienta útil para ayudar a los procesos de extensión rural. Los productores agropecuarios de la región consideran muy importante estar informados sobre temas agropecuarios, y están dispuestos a escuchar los podcasts por medio de plataformas digitales, sin embargo, algunos aun prefieren los medios tradiciones, por ello se necesita interrelacionar las plataformas digitales con los canales tradicionales con el fin de tener una mayor cobertura de la información hacia la población.

Published: November 2022

Metallic antimony production from antimony-bearing materials is a research hotspot. The conventional electrowinning technology of antimony is a challenging problem due to the sulfur compounds that come from both the ore itself and the leaching solution in the electrolysis system. The electro-production of antimony in modified non-diaphragm cells is of interest because of the high price and maintenance issues associated with diaphragm cells. A sulfur-based problem in non-diaphragm cells was the focus of this study, which investigated the effects of various salts on this problem and also optimized antimony production conditions. Various salts (i.e., BaCl2, CaCl2, Ba(OH)2, Ca(OH)2) were used as a precipitating agent for the formation of insoluble salts (BaSO4/CaSO4 and BaSO3/CaSO3). Sb concentration, amount of NaOH and Na2S in the bath, electrowinning time, and temperature were investigated to optimize reaction parameters. The Taguchi experimental design was used to determine the effect of each factor on the Sb deposition. The phases and structures formed during electroproduction were identified with the help of various measurement techniques. This study found that in the presence of 96 mM BaCl2, 45 g/L of Sb concentration, 100 g/L of NaOH, and 60 g/L of Na2S were the most suitable factors. It was found that 40 oC was the optimal electrowinning temperature. This result also demonstrated that increasing concentrations of BaCl2 reduced specific energy consumption.

Study Design: Prospective and Interventional Randomized Comparative Study. Duration of Study: October 2019 to September 2021. Objective: To compare the: 1) Functional outcome using IKDC score. 2) Donor site morbidity by AOFAS score and mid-thigh circumference between the autologous peroneus longus tendon and hamstrings tendon graft in ACL reconstruction. Methodology: Study was done on around 100 patients and patients were grouped under two categories. Gr A undergoing Autologus Peroneus Longus tendon and Gr B undergoing hamstrings tendon graft in ACL reconstruction. Both the group of patients were regularly followed up in Post op wk 1, wk 4. Wk 8 and outcomes were measured via AOFAS score and statistical analysis. Observation and Result: Based on our observation we conclude that both the groups were comparable in terms of post operative knee functional score and donor site morbidity. However, the ease of harvest due to its superficial location, short operative time, adequate graft thickness, absence of any muscle weakness and a relatively smaller post operative scar makes peroneus longus is a good alternative choice for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Sosiaali- ja terveyshuollon digitalisaatiokehityksen yhdeksi keskeiseksi tavoitteeksi on nimetty osallisuuden edistäminen. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon asiakkaiden, työntekijöiden ja johtajien käsityksiä asiakkaiden osallistumisesta digitaalisiin palveluihin. Tavoitteena on lisätä ymmärrystä asiakasosallisuuden ja digitalisaation välisestä suhteesta sekä siihen liitettyjen käsitysten yhteneväisyyksistä ja eroavaisuuksista asiakkaiden ja ammattilaisten keskuudessa. Tutkimusaineistona ovat 86 henkilön teemahaastattelut viidessä julkisessa sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon organisaatiossa. Menetelmänä on laadullinen, teoriaohjautuva sisällönanalyysi.
Käsitykset asiakasosallisuudesta digitaalisissa palveluissa jäsentyivät viideksi luokaksi: asiakas palveluiden piiriin kuuluvana, asiakas palautteen antajana, asiakas vuorovaikutuskumppanina, asiakas itsenäisenä toimijana vastaanottojen ulkopuolella ja asiakas kehittäjänä. Analyysi toi esille jännitteisyyden luokkien sisällä: kuhunkin luokkaan kytkeytyi digitalisaatiokehityksen mukanaan tuomat mahdollisuudet asiakkaiden osallistumisen ideaaleista sekä toisaalta digitalisaatiokehityksen esteet, realiteetit ja sen mukanaan tuomat uudenlaiset haasteet. Erityisesti asiakkaat korostivat digipalveluihin liittyviä huolia: pelkoa taitojen ja tuen riittävyydestä sekä vuorovaikutuksen kaventumisesta. Johtajat korostivat digitalisaation mahdollisuuksia erityisesti yhteydenpidossa, palautteen antamisessa sekä palveluiden kehittämisessä. Työntekijät toivat esille sekä esteitä että mahdollisuuksia, korostaen erityisesti palveluiden piiriin pääsemistä, palautteen antamista ja etävastaanottoja.
Digitaalisissa palveluissa asiakkaan rooli itsenäisenä toimijana ja tiedonhakijana korostuu. Samalla asiakkaan tekemät valinnat ja päätökset jäävät helposti ammattilaisilta piiloon ja dialogi asiakkaan ja ammattilaisen välillä vähäiseksi. Tähän liittyy monenlaisia huolia niin asiakkaiden kuin ammattilaisten keskuudessa. Eri osapuolten osallisuuskäsitysten ymmärtäminen onkin tärkeää, kun suunnitellaan ja kehitetään digitaalisia sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon palveluja.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between COPD phenotypes and the BODE index. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 99 patients with COPD. COPD was classified using HRCT into the three morphological phenotypes. Lung function was analyzed by spirometry and the BODE index (Body-mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise) was calculated. Results: According to the survey, 53 (53.5%) patients had A phenotype, 31 (31.3%) had a M phenotype, and 15 (15.1%) had a E phenotype. Emphysema type has higher BODE index scores. BODE index scores increased significantly with increasing severity of COPD according to the GOLD classification (P<.001). Conclusion: BODE index scores were increased in associating with severity of COPD. Emphysema type COPD has a worse BODE scores than others.

Objective: Using high-sensitivity test results of CLEIA we aimed to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B and C virus, and compare levels of AST, ALT, M2BPGI in the Mongolian population in the age between 40-64. Methods: In order to reflect the administrative and geographical features of Mongolia, the sampling was done at three levels: urban, province center, and rural. Immunological test was measured by chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA). The statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used for the statistical analyses. Results: The survey covered 3196 people. 71.8 percent of the patients surveyed had a negative in hepatitis test. 10.1 percent had a positive HBsAg test. 17 percent had a positive anti-HCV test. 1.1 percent had both a positive both HBsAg and anti-HCV (<.0001). AST and ALT increased more frequently during co-infection. M2BPGI protein average level in the non-infected group was 1.00 C.O.I, in the HBsAg positive group 1.65 C.O.I, in the anti-HCV positive group 1.83 C.O.I, and in the co-infection group 1.87 C.O.I (<.0001). Conclusion:10.1 percent of 40-64year-olds in Mongolia were infected with hepatitis B virus, and 17 percent had Hepatitis C virus and 1.1 percent had hepatitis B and C virus co-infections. Serum M2BPGi is increasing in hepatitis C virus infection and in co-infection.

Objective: To assess the health-seeking behavior among presumptive TB cases in a Mongolian population-based TB prevalence survey. Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health concern in Mongolia. TB prevalence survey provides a chance to explore health seeking behavior at the population level. Methods: A population based, cross-sectional survey was conducted using 51 cluster samplings in Mongolia. Participants were interviewed for TB symptoms and their health seeking behavior aged 15 years and above. Participants with a cough lasting two weeks were classified as TB suspects. Results: Of 27,112 survey participants, 4.6% had cough more than two weeks. Forty-eight percent of them had sought health care and to reported pharmacies (26.2%), family group practitioners (45.7%), district health centers (13.3%), and private physicians (3.6%) as first point of contact. The young adults (46.8%) and students (61.0%) approached pharmacies for care more often than their counterparts. Preference for family clinics increased with age. Conclusions: In this survey, 48.1% of the TB suspects had visited a health-care provider. TB case detection need to be improved by retraining health staffs of family health facilities.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of selective internal radiation therapy and sorafenib on advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: The National Cancer Center of Mongolia was one of the Asia-Pacific Liver Cancer Research Team sites, and we recruited patients into the study. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 stratified and to receive either SIRT or sorafenib 800 mg/d orally. Outcome measures were physical examination, functional assessment, CBC, liver function test, AFP results, and CT scan every 4, 8 and, 12 weeks after treatment initiation. Results: Between March 2011 and June 2016, 39 patients were enrolled in the study. Twenty patients were treated with SIRT, and 19 patients were treated with sorafenib. Median OS and PFS rates were no different in sorafenib arm patients than in SIRT arm (15.56 vs. 9.17; HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.46, p = .889) and (8.51 months vs. 5.85 months; HR,1.07; CI, 0.53-2.16, p = .842). But, tumor response was greater in SIRT than sorafenib treatment (68.8% vs 62.5%, p = .033). Two (10%) patients had a complete response, 2 (10%) patients had a partial response, and 7 (43.8%) patients had a stable response. A total of 165 treatment-emergent adverse events were reported (SIRT 66 vs. sorafenib 99). Significantly fewer patients in the SIRT than sorafenib group had grade ≥3 adverse events (83 vs. 115, p = .0964). Conclusion: In patients with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, overall survival did not differ significantly between SIRT and sorafenib. But SIRT significantly increased tumor response and reduced the incidence of adverse events compared with sorafenib.
