Authors: Forwaty Erni , Usraleli Usraleli , Khusniyati Nia
Published: April 2022

The low quality of life of hemodialysis (HD) patients at the Riau Province referral hospital, Arifin Achmad Hospital, is due to dialysis adequacy and low activity levels of hemodialysis (HD) patients. Intradialytic exercise has been shown to improve dialysis adequacy and, as a result, patient quality of life. The aim of this community service is to improve HD nurses' intradialytic exercise knowledge and skills. Training HD nurses on intradialytic exercise is the method of performing community service activities, with implementation approaches including sharing material and skill simulation. The result is that HD nurses have more knowledge and abilities concerning intradialytic exercise, with an average score of 94.3 percent on the post-test. Furthermore, nurses are able to share intradialytic exercise knowledge and skills with HD patients, therefore it is believed that HD patients will be able to use intradialytic exercise to improve their quality of life.

METHODOLOGY FOR MANAGING INVESTMENT PROCESSES OF DIGITALIZATION OF THE ECONOMY
Authors: Klymchuk Maryna
Published: April 2022

In the article the investigates the problems of the investment management digital transformations at the enterprise, where the instrumental basis based on the system economic theory and integrated IT risk management theory are allocated. The purpose of the study is to develop a recursive and convergence methodology of the investment management of the enterprise digitalization processes.

The components of the process of investment digitalization of enterprises are structurally reflected and a deterministic 5-component model of developing a recursive and convergence management methodology based on the digital economy is formed. It is determined that the recursive and conversion methodology is based on the understanding of investment management digital transformations at an enterprise as a complex system, characterized primarily by the diversity and heterogeneity of the constituent elements, numerous internal and external connections, which causes a variety of their interaction, changes in the composition and state of the system.

The recursive model provides management of the investment of digitalization in the enterprise as a sequential transition between processes of one level only after all the cycles provided for the current process are implemented. However, such a coherent sequence is possible at the expense of effective information support of each process, which should be implemented on a convergence basis. The precondition for its implementation in the field of digital technologies is civilizational development, consequences of globalization and digitalization. The focuses on the problems of reasonable and sustainable urban planning in the conditions of urbanization, which is the basis for the development and implementation of the «Smart City» concept. As a result, of theoretical analysis of the main definitions of «Smart City», the author's vision of this concept is proposed. The implementation of «Smart City» in the context of human rights protection, we will highlight the main tasks taking into account the development of cognitive technologies.
STATE SUPPORT FOR THE FINANCING OF INNOVATIVE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE IMPORT SUBSTITUTION PROGRAMMES
Authors: Pasichnyk Yurii
Published: April 2022

The purpose of the article is to establish the specifics of state financing of innovations to support import-substituted fruit and vegetable products. Using the developed research algorithm, the author analyzes and identifies some negative reasons that form the conditions for the import of fruit and vegetable products, including those that are manufactured and can be produced by domestic producers. It has been determined that one of the important reasons of the specified production import is insufficient budget financing of the agrarian and processing segments of the economy. The volume of budget financing of the agro-food segment of the economy in some European foreign countries, in particular, Italy, Turkey, France, Poland, Bulgaria and Ukraine was compared. It was revealed that domestic producers receive funds much less than foreign countries. Thus, in comparison to Poland, this support is only 10 percent. The main indicators of the functioning of the agri-food segment of the domestic economy have been evaluated and low wages have been identified, which is a significant problem and the reason for labour migration to other countries. The instability of the functioning of this segment has also been proved, which has manifested itself in a decrease in the GDP of agriculture, forestry and fisheries as a percentage by 2019, etc. The state of state financial support for agrarians and industrial producers over the past few years has been analysed and it has been revealed that this aid is provided chaotically, mainly based on the wishes of certain groups of deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Moreover, it has been revealed that this support mechanism is formed without taking into account the real needs of producers, and large amounts of aid are provided in the form of loans. Funds for basic research, design work, and the construction of modern, innovative processing plants are also almost absent. It is drawn a conclusion that for improvement of such condition it is necessary to improve directions of the state support of the specified innovations
Everyday Madness
Authors: Appignanesi Lisa
Published: April 2022

There is a troubled legacy that is visible in so many of the illiberal populisms that currently seem to plague our democracies. One thing they have in common is the idea of a return to a period hazy in memory which was somehow better, greater than the present. Transposed to an individual level, we are evoking emotions attached to a childhood home. Freud’s ideas on the unconscious and its important place in our everyday lives emerged at the turn of the nineteenth into the twentieth century. After 1918 he became increasingly preoccupied by groups, societies and nations. Under the pressure of Nazism, he turned his attention to antisemitism, exploring the impact of repression and ‘the return of the repressed’. Born in Poland shortly after the war, the author, in what was a 2019 Keynote Lecture in Warsaw, explores the after-effects of her parents’ wartime history and her own angry responses to an experience of loss and mourning.
Psychoanalytic Judaism, Judaic Psychoanalysis
Authors: Frosh Stephen
Published: April 2022

The article begins with a summary account of some major trends in the co-location of psychoanalysis and Judaism, relating particularly to: the origins of psychoanalysis; antisemitism directed towards, and within, psychoanalysis; links between Jewish mysticism and psychoanalysis through notions of ‘tikkun’ and reparation; hermeneutics and interpretation; and the transmission of knowledge through intense personal relationships. Psychoanalytic interpretation has also been applied to some Jewish (especially biblical) texts. The article then offers an account of Jewishness as rooted in ambivalence and contradictory ties – and particularly as a way of being that is fundamentally interrupted by otherness. I give an example of this and try to show that what one author I draw on calls ‘the backward pull of love and accidental attachment’ is constitutive of Judaism and of psychoanalysis as well. As such, it is a powerful ethical claim to say that ‘Judaic’ psychoanalysis exists.

In the course of conducted researches it was found that the leaf surface area of sorghum crops was directly proportional to the plant density. It was determined that the largest area of the assimilation apparatus forms in the panicle initiation stage. It was found that each increase in plant density by 20 thousand/ha leads to a decrease in the individual leaf surface area of the plant by 8.8–9.0 % (128–137 cm2) relative to the previous plant density. The row-width spacing was no influenced to this indicator. The largest grain weight per the panicle was formed at a plant density of 80 thousand pcs/ha. Crowdedness of crop (by 20 thousand/ha) led to a decrease in this indicator by 4.8–22.0 % compared to the previous one. An increase in agrocenosis density caused to decrease in grain weight and grain size of the panicle, but the 1000 grain weight was relatively stable. The optimal values of the 1000 grain weight in varieties and hybrids were obtained at plant density of 120–140 thousand/ha. The structure of the yield was significantly influenced by the genetic features of sorghum and the sowing density. The influence of the method of sowing was insignificant. On average, over the years of research, the highest yield of grain sorghum was in trials with a row spacing of 45 cm: Prime hybrid – 5.89 t/ha, Dniprovskyi 39 variety – 4.62 t/ha (plant density of 140 thousand/ha) and Vinets variety – 3.70 t/ha (160 thousand/ha). The grain yield of the Prime hybrid at growing with 70 cm row spacing was 5.70–5.71 t/ha at a plant density of 120–140 thousand/ha, respectively. The Dniprovskyi 39 variety had the same yield indicators (4.57 t/ha) at plant density of 120 and 140 thousand/ha. The grain yield of the Vinets variety at a plant density of 160 thousand/ha and a row spacing of 70 cm was 3.83 t/ha. Crowdedness of plants above the specified density caused a decrease in grain productivity. Key words: grain sorghum, plant density, leaf area, individual area of the assimilation apparatus, agrocenosis density, grain productivity.

Neuroprotective Effects of Cholinesterase Inhibitors: Current Scenario in Therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease and Future Perspectives
Authors: Moreira Natália Chermont dos Santos , Lima Jéssica Ellen Barbosa de Freitas , Marchiori Marcelo Fiori , Carvalho Ivone , Sakamoto-Hojo Elza Tiemi
Published: April 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease conceptualized as a continuous process, ranging from mild cognitive impairment (MCI), to the mild, moderate, and severe clinical stages of AD dementia. AD is considered a complex multifactorial disease. Currently, the use of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI), such as tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine, has been the main treatment for AD patients. Interestingly, there is evidence that ChEI also promotes neuroprotective effects, bringing some benefits to AD patients. The mechanisms by which the ChEI act have been investigated in AD. ChEI can modulate the PI3K/AKT pathway, which is an important signaling cascade that is capable of causing a significant functional impact on neurons by activating cell survival pathways to promote neuroprotective effects. However, there is still a huge challenge in the field of neuroprotection, but in the context of unravelling the details of the PI3K/AKT pathway, a new scenario has emerged for the development of more efficient drugs that act on multiple protein targets. Thus, the mechanisms by which ChEI can promote neuroprotective effects and prospects for the development of new drug candidates for the treatment of AD are discussed in this review.

Published: April 2022

Background: Accurately identifying the unmet needs of community-dwelling people with dementia allows targeted support to be provided to assist these individuals to stay at home. Objective: We developed a self-report instrument to identify the unmet needs of community-dwelling people with dementia and used this to explore the prevalence and type of unmet needs present in this population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey of people with dementia living in the community in Australia. Participants were recruited from geriatric clinics, respite centers, aged care providers, and carers attending support groups. Eligible people with dementia were provided with a study information pack and survey which included the self-report Unmet Needs Instrument for Dementia (UNI-D), sociodemographic characteristics and survey acceptability. Results: The UNI-D contained 26 items across 5 domains and demonstrated acceptable internal consistency, face and construct validity, and acceptability. Ninety-five eligible participants completed the survey (response rate 35%) with 85% identifying at least one unmet need (median = 4; IQR = 1–9). The items most frequently endorsed included needing more help with remembering things (64%), finding possible treatments for dementia (44%), understanding who to contact regarding a problem or concern related to dementia (36%), and to see friends and family more often (33%). Conclusion: The UNI-D is a promising tool to identify the self-reported needs of people with dementia. The development and rigorous testing of interventions targeting unmet needs related to health and wellbeing, dementia support, and meaningful activities appears warranted.

Authors: Abdulrahman Herrer , Smedinga Marthe , Verbeek Marcel M. , Klijn Catharina J.M. , Richard Edo , Perry Marieke
Published: April 2022

Background: Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (sCAA) research of the past decade has increasingly focused on developing biomarkers that allow for an earlier and more accurate sCAA-diagnosis. Considering that sCAA does not have treatment options available (yet), more fundamental questions concerning the desirability of using such early-sCAA biomarkers in clinical practice need to be addressed. Objective: In this qualitative interview study, we aim to explore the views of vascular neurologists on the purpose and possible consequences of an earlier and more accurate sCAA-diagnosis, using new biomarkers. Methods: Vascular neurologists from around the world were approached via email and interviewed via video call. Topics included views on current sCAA diagnostic practice, considerations on the use of new biomarkers, and expectations and hopes for the future. All interviews were transcribed ad verbatim using a transcription program (Otter.ai). Transcripts were analyzed using inductive content analysis. Results: We interviewed 14 vascular neurologists. Views regarding the desirability of new sCAA-biomarkers differed substantially between interviewees as to when and in whom these biomarkers could be of benefit in clinical practice. These differences were mainly reported with regards to prognosis, risk stratification, and biological precision, between general stroke neurologists and neurologists with specific sCAA-expertise. Conclusion: Views on the use of sCAA-biomarkers in clinical practice differ substantially between vascular neurologists. There is particularly no consensus regarding when, and in whom sCAA biomarkers could be useful in clinical practice.
Deep neural network ensembles for detecting self-admitted technical debt

Published: April 2022

Effectively identifying self-admitted technical debt (SATD) from project source code comments helps developers quickly find and repay these debts, thereby reducing its negative impact. Previous studies used techniques based on patterns, text mining, natural language processing, and neural networks to detect SATD. Compared with these above, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have the strong feature extraction ability. Deep network ensembles are demonstrated great potential for the task of sentences classification. In order to boost the performance of CNN-based SATD detecting, we propose a deep neural network ensemble contribute to ensemble learning in a simple yet effective way. Specifically, CNN, CNN-LSTM (convolutional neural network and long short-term memory), and DPCNN (Deep Pyramid Convolutional Neural Networks) are used as individual classifiers to diversify the deep network ensembles. In order to improve the explainability, we introduce attention to measure the contribution of feature words to SATD classification. 62,285 source code comments from 10 projects were used in our experiments. The results show that our approach can effectively reduce misjudgment and detect more SATD, especially for cross-project, so as to greatly improve the detection accuracy.

Published: April 2022

The development of advanced technologies in variety of domains such as health care, sensor measurements, intrusion detection, motion capture, environment monitoring have directed to the emergence of large scale time stamped data that varies over time. These data are influenced by complexities such as missing values, multivariate attributes, time-stamped features. The objective of the paper is to construct temporal classification framework using stacked Gated Recurrent Unit (S-GRU) for predicting ozone level. Ozone level prediction plays a vital role for accomplishing healthy living environment. Temporal missing value imputation and temporal classification are two functions performed by the proposed system. In temporal missing value imputation, the temporal correlated k-nearest neighbors (TCO-KNN) approach is presented to address missing values. Using attribute dependency based KNN, the nearest significant set is identified for each missing value. The missing values are imputed using the mean values from the determined closest significant set. In temporal classification, the classification model is build using stacked gated recurrent unit (S-GRU). The performance of the proposed framework investigated using ozone multivariate temporal data sets shows improvement in classification accuracy compared to other state of art methods.

Pseudo computed tomography image generation from brain magnetic resonance image using integration of PCA & DCNN-UNET: A comparative analysis
Authors: Sreeja S , Muhammad Noorul Mubarak D.
Published: April 2022

MRI-Only Radiation (RT) now avoids some of the issues associated with employing Computed Tomography(CT) in RT chains, such as MRI registration to a separate CT, excess dosage administration, and the cost of recurrent imaging. The fact that MRI signal intensities are unrelated to the biological tissue’s attenuation coefficient poses a problem. This raises workloads, creates uncertainty as a result of the required inter-modality image registrations, and exposes patients to needless radiation. While using only MRI would be preferable, a method for estimating a pseudo-CT (pCT)or synthetic-CT(sCT) for producing electron density maps and patient positioning reference images is required. As Deep Learning(DL) is revolutionized in so many fields these days, an effective and accurate model is required for generating pCT from MRI. So, this paper depicts an efficient DL model in which the following are the stages: a) Data Acquisition where CT and MRI images are collected b) preprocessing these to avoid the anomalies and noises using techniques like outlier elimination, data smoothening and data normalizing c) feature extraction and selection using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) & regression method d) generating pCT from MRI using Deep Convolutional Neural Network and UNET (DCNN-UNET). We here compare both feature extraction (PCA) and classification model (DCNN-UNET) with other methods such as Discrete Wavelet Tranform(DWT), Independent Component Analysis(ICA), Fourier Transform and VGG16, ResNet, AlexNet, DenseNet, CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)respectively. The performance measures used to evaluate these models are Dice Coefficient(DC), Structured Similarity Index Measure(SSIM), Mean Absolute Error(MAE), Mean Squared Error(MSE), Accuracy, Computation Time in which our proposed system outperforms better with 0.94±0.02 over other state-of-art models.

Authors: Razdan Rajeev
Published: April 2022

Background and Aim: Due to the clinical benefits of metformin, its associated side effects such as vitamin B12 deficiency are rarely investigate and usually overlooked. In the reports of  previous study done; showed that there is association of deficiency of vitamin b12 and use of metformin. The primary aim of the present study is check the assessment of metformin on the folate and vitamin B12 levels. The study population consist of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Other objectives of the current study were; to assess and compare the serum level of vitamin B12 before and after metformin therapy, to find out the correlation of serum level of vitamin B12 with haemoglobin and MCV values, to assess and compare the serum levels of folate before and after metformin therapy & to find out the correlation of serum level of folate with haemoglobin level and MCV values.

Material and Methods: This is a hospital based randomized cross-sectional observational study. Each and every eligible case of type 2 diabetes attending medicine OPD, Tertiary care Institute of India for the duration of 1 year were included in the study. The metformin 500 mg was given twice daily for 6 months, the folate and serum vit. B12 levels of all the included patients were recorded.

At the end of the study period of 6 months the foalte levels and serum vit. B12 levels were reevaluated.

Results: On follow up data analysis the significant correlation was found between the change in MCV levels and serum vitamin B12 levels. A non significant correlation was found in the individuals after undergoing the treatment for metformin; between the change in MCV levels and serum folate level.

Conclusion: With the use of high dose and long duration of metformin there is significant low level of serum vitamin B12 level in individuals. Therefore for the patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus regular check up for vitamin B12 levels should be done and sometimes its advised to prescribe them with vitamin B12 suppliments.

Introduction: Since prescribing is a new subject in the nursing profession, it is necessary to assess nurses' attitudes to and readiness for this new responsibility. Objective: This study aimed to investigate nurses' attitudes to and readiness for nurse prescribing in teaching hospitals of Tabriz City, Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 335 nurses working in the hospitals of Tabriz from June to October 2019. The participants were selected with a stratified random sampling method, and study data were collected using a two-part questionnaire: demographics and the nurse prescribing questionnaire.The demographics were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney U tests were employed to examine the correlation and to compare the mean scores, respectively. The significance level for all tests was determined to be less than 0.05. Results: About 82.1% of participants were female, 59.7% were working in general wards, and 42.1% were in critical care units. The results showed that the mean ±SD scores of attitude and readiness were 34.79 ±8.15 and 36.99 ±6.01, respectively. Moreover, 71.6% of nurses agreed with nurse prescribing. The results showed that the score of attitudes towards prescribing the drug was significant in terms of gender (P = 0.039), employment status (P = 0.032), work experience (P =0.041), and academic degree (P = 0.028). Also, results showed readiness to implement was significant in terms of gender (P = 0.028), employment status (P = 0.049), work experience (P = 0.037), and academic degree (P = 0.042). Finally, there was a positive and significant correlation between nurses' attitudes toward and readiness for prescribing (P = 0.042, rs=0.626). Conclusion: Because nurses have a positive attitude toward and are ready for prescribing, it is possible to make them more prepared for this new role by increasing their pharmacological knowledge and improving their accountability.

Penelitian mengenai bahaya banjir di Desa Sitiarjo, Kecamatan Sumbermanjing, Kabupaten Malang sangat urgensi untuk dilakukan. Salah satu penyebab pentingnya penelitian ini dilakukan adalah untuk mengetahui luasan daerah yang tergenang (terinundasi) banjir. Analisis daerah yang terdampak genangan banjir dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan penginderaan jauh dengan pengolahan dan interpretasi data SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) yang bersumber dari citra satelit Sentinel-1. Data SAR Sentinel-1 yang digunakan diakuisisi tanggal 20 November 2014 dan tanggal 28 Desember 2014. Pemilihan kedua tanggal tersebut untuk membandingkan kondisi sebelum tergenang banjir dan sesudah atau saat tergenang banjir. Banjir yang terjadi pada Desa Sitiarjo dikarenakan oleh kondisi morfologi yang berupa cekungan (basin) yang dikelilingi tebing karst curam serta meluapnya Sungai Penguluran akibat penyempitan lebar aliran sungai bagian hulu (bottleneck outlet) di kawasan pesisir selatan Kabupaten Malang. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ini berupa peta daerah tergenang banjir yang didasarkan pada tiga (3) aspek : 1) topografi, 2) tingkat kejenuhan air pada tanah (soil saturation), dan 3) area tergenang banjir. Wilayah yang tergenang banjir divisualisasikan warna merah terang hingga merah tua.
