Chemical ripening and contaminations detection using neural networks-based image features and spectrometric signatures
Authors: Roopalakshmi R
Published: January 2022

In this pandemic-prone era, health is of utmost concern for everyone and hence eating good quality fruits is very much essential for sound health. Unfortunately, nowadays it is quite very difficult to obtain naturally ripened fruits, due to existence of chemically ripened fruits being ripened using hazardous chemicals such as calcium carbide. However, most of the state-of-the art techniques are primarily focusing on identification of chemically ripened fruits with the help of computer vision-based approaches, which are less effective towards quantification of chemical contaminations present in the sample fruits. To solve these issues, a new framework for chemical ripening and contamination detection is presented, which employs both visual and IR spectrometric signatures in two different stages. The experiments conducted on both the GUI tool as well as hardware-based setups, clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed framework in terms of detection confidence levels followed by the percentage of presence of chemicals in the sample fruit.

Published: January 2022

Introduction. Schwannomas are rare benign tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Despite the differences in features of schwannomas located in the stomach as opposed to peripheral or soft tissue schwannomas, their immunohistochemical characteristics are the same. We present a case of a 14-month-old boy with a gastric tumor who underwent a combined laparoscopic-endoscopic resection surgery, followed by gastric schwannoma diagnosis. Case outline. The patient was admitted to our pediatric hospital with a fever of unknown origin. Endoscopy, performed after recurrent hematemesis, revealed an ulcer in the gastric antrum. At the four-week follow-up, gastroscopic and microscopic findings were normal. Two weeks later, a flank mass in the antrum was detected by an ultrasound examination. A new gastroscopy and CT scan confirmed the presence of a tumor-like mass, 5 cm in diameter. A combined laparoscopic-endoscopic polypectomy was performed with a necessary conversion for complete resection of tumor. The initial histological findings were consistent with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Due to this tumor?s rarity in childhood, the paraffin-embedded tissue samples were referred for a second opinion. Histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the tumor made the gastrointestinal stromal tumor diagnosis unlikely and consistent with a completely resected gastric schwannoma. No recurrence of the disease occurred during the seven-year follow-up. Conclusion. Combined laparoscopic-endoscopic surgery is a feasible and effective treatment for large gastric tumors that cannot be excised endoscopically. Schwannoma should be included in the differential diagnostic consideration of gastric tumor lesions even in childhood.

OBJECTIVE

Polygenic prediction of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in continental Africans is adversely affected by the limited number of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of T2D from Africa and the poor transferability of European-derived polygenic risk scores (PRSs) in diverse ethnicities. We set out to evaluate if African American, European, or multiethnic-derived PRSs would improve polygenic prediction in continental Africans.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Using the PRSice software, ethnic-specific PRSs were computed with weights from the T2D GWAS multiancestry meta-analysis of 228,499 case and 1,178,783 control subjects. The South African Zulu study (n = 1,602 case and 981 control subjects) was used as the target data set. Validation and assessment of the best predictive PRS association with age at diagnosis were conducted in the Africa America Diabetes Mellitus (AADM) study (n = 2,148 case and 2,161 control subjects).

RESULTS

The discriminatory ability of the African American and multiethnic PRSs was similar. However, the African American–derived PRS was more transferable in all the countries represented in the AADM cohort and predictive of T2D in the country combined analysis compared with the European and multiethnic-derived scores. Notably, participants in the 10th decile of this PRS had a 3.63-fold greater risk (odds ratio 3.63; 95% CI 2.19–4.03; P = 2.79 × 10−17) per risk allele of developing diabetes and were diagnosed 2.6 years earlier than those in the first decile.

CONCLUSIONS

African American–derived PRS enhances polygenic prediction of T2D in continental Africans. Improved representation of non-European populations (including Africans) in GWAS promises to provide better tools for precision medicine interventions in T2D.

OBJECTIVE

There is mounting evidence regarding the cardiovascular benefits of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is paucity of data assessing real-world practice patterns for these drug classes. We aimed to assess utilization rates of these drug classes and facility-level variation in their use.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We used the nationwide Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system data set from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 and included patients with established ASCVD and T2DM. Among these patients, we assessed the use of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA and the facility-level variation in their use. Facility-level variation was computed using median rate ratios (MRR), a measure of likelihood that two random facilities differ in use of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA in patients with ASCVD and T2DM.

RESULTS

Among 537,980 patients with ASCVD and T2DM across 130 VA facilities, 11.2% of patients received an SGLT2i while 8.0% of patients received a GLP-1 RA. Patients receiving these cardioprotective glucose-lowering drug classes were on average younger and had a higher proportion of non-Hispanic Whites. Overall, median (10th–90th percentile) facility-level rates were 14.92% (9.31–22.50) for SGLT2i and 10.88% (4.44–17.07) for GLP-1 RA. There was significant facility-level variation among SGLT2i use—MRRunadjusted: 1.41 (95% CI 1.35–1.47) and MRRadjusted: 1.55 (95% CI 1.46 –1.63). Similar facility-level variation was observed for use of GLP-1 RA—MRRunadjusted: 1.34 (95% CI 1.29–1.38) and MRRadjusted: 1.78 (95% CI 1.65–1.90).

CONCLUSIONS

Overall utilization rates of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA among eligible patients are low, with significantly higher residual facility-level variation in the use of these drug classes. Our results suggest opportunities to optimize their use to prevent future adverse cardiovascular events among these patients.

Published: January 2022

Background and purpose — Skeletal maturity is a crucial parameter when calculating remaining growth in children. We compared 3 different methods, 2 manual and 1 automated, in the radiological assessment of bone age with respect to precision and systematic difference.
Material and methods — 66 simultaneous examinations of the left hand and left elbow from children treated for leg-length discrepancies were randomly selected for skeletal age assessment. The radiographs were anonymized and assessed twice with at least 3 weeks’ interval according to the Greulich and Pyle (GP) and Sauvegrain (SG) methods by 5 radiologists with different levels of experience. The hand radiographs were also assessed for GP bone age by use of the automated BoneXpert (BX) method for comparison.
Results — The inter-observer intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.96 for the GP and 0.98 for the SG method. The inter- and intra-observer standard error of the measurement (SEm) was 0.41 and 0.32 years for the GP method and 0.27 and 0.21 years for the SG method with a significant difference (p < 0.001) between the methods and between the experienced and the less experienced radiologists for both methods (p = 0.003 and p < 0.001). In 25% of the assessments the discrepancy between the GP and the SG methodwas > 1 year. There was no systematic difference comparing either manual method with the automatic BX method.
Interpretation — With respect to the precision of skeletal age determination, we recommend using the SG method or preferably the automated BX method based on GP assessments in the calculation of remaining growth.
Сytogenetic techniques in current biomedical research. part i: history and theoretical basis of human cytogenetics
Authors: Volkov A. N. , Nacheva L. V.
Published: January 2022

Cytogenetics is an essential part of human genetics which studies the structure of chromosomes and their collection which is called karyotype. Cytogenetic techniques are employed while interrogating DNA organisation and compaction. Analysis of the chromosomal structure contributes to uncovering the molecular basis of various cellular processes in normal and pathological conditions. Furthermore, spectrum and frequency of chromosome abnormalities serves as an indicator of mutagenic effects. Cytogenetic techniques became indispensable for discovering the genetic causes of human diseases at different stages of ontogenesis. Genetic abnormalities are a common cause of impaired reproductive function, abnormal pregnancy, and neonatal malformations. Genetic screening for chromosomal abnormalities and congenital anomalies is a powerful tool for reducing the genetic load in human populations as well as disease, psychological and social burden on families and societies. This paper begins the cycle of lectures on molecular basis of human cytogenetics, cytogenetic techniques, and the corresponding research and clinical applications. The lecture is primarily aimed at biomedical students and physicians who often have an unmet need to analyse and interpret the results of cytogenetic analyses.

Authors: Protasova I. N. , Sidorenko S. V. , Feldblum I. V. , Bakhareva N. V.
Published: January 2022

Aim. To investigate how the pneumococcal vaccination affects the distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes.

Materials and Methods. In 2011-2019, 1,852 healthy children (1,354 aged ≤ 5 years and 480 aged from 6 to 17 years) were examined for the nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage. Of them, 539 children were tested before the start of pneumococcal vaccination (2011-2014), while 1,313 were tested during the vaccine campaign (2015-2019). Pneumococcal strains were serotyped using multiplex polymerase chain reaction.

Results. Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype distribution considerably differed between children ≤ 5 and 6-17 years of age. Serotypes 23F, 19F, 19A, 6AB, and 15BC were prevalent in children ≤ 5 years of age while the older children were characterised by a high prevalence of capsular serotypes (3 and 33AF/37), serogroup 9 (9AV and 9LN), non-typeable streptococci, as well as 19F, 6AB and 6CD serotypes. Vaccination was associated with a significantly decreased prevalence of Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage (from 41.5% to 19.2%) among children ≤ 5 years of age, while this reduction was less pronounced (from 13.5 to 9.0%) in older children. Vaccination led to the shift in the distribution of pneumococcal serotypes towards an increased prevalence of non-vaccine serotypes that was particularly prominent in children ≤ 5 years of age. In particular, vaccination reduced the prevalence of 23F and 19A pneumococcal serotypes but heightened prevalence of 11AD serotype and to the appearance of previously undetected serotypes such as 8, 10A, 17F, 22F, 24ABF, 34, and 39.

Conclusion. Pneumococcal vaccination decreased prevalence of pneumococcal carriage, yet causing a serotype replacement effect requiring improved microbiological monitoring in children of all age groups.

Authors: Rapina Rapina Rapina , Hanny Hanny , Nur Afiah Nunuy
Published: January 2022

The fourth Industrial Revolution significantly changed banking products and services. The bank needs relevant and quality accounting information to support them in providing products and services to customers. The required accounting information is generated from an accounting information system owned by each bank. The purpose of this research is to determine how much the independent variables can influence the successful implementation of the accounting information system in banking. There are three independent variables analyzed, namely personality characteristics, organizational structure and quality of business processes. The results of this study are expected to be useful for banks in implementing strategies when managing the quality of accounting information systems that will produce quality accounting information. The type of data used in this study is primary data obtained through distributing questionnaires to 46 banking companies in Indonesia. Verification analysis was performed using the SEM-PLS test tool. The results showed that problems in the quality of accounting information were caused by the application of accounting information systems that were not maximally integrated. Furthermore, it was found that the application of accounting information systems in banking organizations must be able to accommodate personality characteristics, organizational structure and quality of business processes.
Physiotherapy Otherwise
Authors:   Auckland University of Technology, Nicholls David
Published: January 2022

Most people are so familiar with the idea of professions that it would be hard to imagine life without them. And yet, the professions we know today are a relatively recent invention. Although physiotherapy may not have achieved the extraordinary levels of privilege and prestige enjoyed by medicine, it still has three quarters of a million respected and valued practitioners worldwide, and is, in many ways, the model of a modern health profession. But physiotherapy is also facing unprecedented challenges, and calls for reform are now widespread. Global healthcare is on the cusp of a cultural, economic, social, and technological revolution, and entering a new post-professional era. Physiotherapy will be affected in profoundly important ways in the coming years, but, to date, we have precious few tools to help us navigate the change. The story of how physiotherapy arrived here was the subject of The End of Physiotherapy (Routledge, 2017). Physiotherapy Otherwise builds on this work, bringing a century of social theory to our understanding of the profession. The book explores what the professions are, what they do in society, what's good about them, and what's bad, and applies all of this to physiotherapy today. By taking the reader from our earliest sociological understandings of the professions to the cutting edge of contemporary thinking, Physiotherapy Otherwise is both a primer on sociology and a critical course in a new ways to understand our profession and our practice.
Deporte medieval del siglo XV: el fortísimo contraste entre la crónica de Álvaro de Luna y la crónica de Lucas de Iranzo
Authors: Ródríguez-López Juan
Published: January 2022

Álvaro de Luna y Lucas de Iranzo, fueron objeto de sendas crónicas medievales. La primera trata de acontecimientos de la primera mitad del siglo XV, hasta 1453. La segunda es unas décadas posterior, de 1458 a 1471. Ambas contienen abundante información sobre los juegos de competencia física, pero existe un gran contraste entre el relato deportivo de una y otra.

En la de Álvaro de Luna los juegos físicos son más violentos, centrados en justas y torneos y, en segundo lugar, en peligrosos juegos de cañas. Se realizan en fiestas cortesanas sin presencia ni participación del pueblo. Se puede observar que las justas y torneos eran todavía semejantes a las formas de luchar de los "hombres de armas" en las batallas reales, tal como aparece en la crónica.

En la otra crónica, la de Iranzo, que relata la vida de la ciudad de Jaén y su defensa frente a los nazaríes granadinos durante el mandato de Miguel Lucas, se observa una revolución de los juegos medievales. Revolución que tiene en sus principales notas, la relegación de las formas más violentas del deporte, propias de justas y torneos, el rompimiento de las barreras sociales en el deporte de sus abundantes fiestas y la teatralización de los juegos. Revolución solo explicable por la personalidad de Lucas de Iranzo y el alejamiento y aislamiento del reino de Jaén de la corte castellana.

The purpose of this study is to explore the leaders to identify the leadership obstacles. For such purposes, the phenomenological method of Giorgi (2004) was applied to explore leadership experiences of 27 SMEs’ leaders. The results are as follows. The leadership obstacles are “situation where leadership is different”, “overwhelmed by team management and training responsiblity”, “recognize the lack of the leader-self”, “inconveniene caused by the age and gender of team members”, “a critical and personal attitude of team member”, “problems in team cohesion”, “unsupportive attitude of boss”, “conflict between relevant teams”, “discontent over company”, and “state economy and market situation”, totaling to 10 components, 25 subcomponents, and 112 conceptualized semantic units. Finally, the meaning of results and implications were discussed.
The effects of achievement attribution and career indecision on perceived overqualification
Authors: Moon Hyejin , Chang JaeYoon , Nam SangHee
Published: January 2022

In the current study, we aimed to investigate the effect of job applicants’ achievement attribution(luck and effort) on their perceived overqualification(POQ) after employment. We examined the mediating role of career indecision in the causal relationship between achievement attribution and POQ and tested whether major commitment moderated the relationship between achievement attribution and career indecision. A total of 2,747 students participated in the longitudinal survey that was conducted across 20 universities located in different cities of Korea. Approximately a year after the participants reported their achievement attribution, major commitment, and career indecision, researchers contacted those who are employed, and 453 out of 2,747 participated in the follow-up survey and asked to report their POQ. The results showed significant correlations among luck attribution, effort attribution, career indecision, and POQ. Second, although career indecision fully mediated the negative relationship between luck attribution and POQ, it failed to mediate the positive relationship between effort attribution and POQ. Third, major commitment moderated the relationship between achievement attribution(both luck and effort) and POQ. Finally, the conditional effect of luck attribution on POQ was supported as hypothesized. More specifically, luck attribution affected POQ through career indecision while major commitment moderated the negative relationship between luck attribution and career indecision. Discussions on implications and limitations are provided.
A Study on the Exploration of the Constructs of Job PerformanceBased on Task Performance, Contextual Performance,Adaptive Performance and Counterproductive Work Behavior
Authors: Yoo Youngsam , Kim Myoungso
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study was to (1) propose and validate the integrative job performance model composed of task performance, contextual performance, adaptive performance, and counterproductive work behavior (CWB), which have been identified as major dimensions of job performance in existing research, (2) explore the possibility of G factor in the 4 dimensions based on the integrative model, and (3) compare differences in the antecedents of personality variables and criteria of job effectiveness to confirm independence among performance dimensions. A total of 649 employees from various organizations participated in two online surveys. The main results were as follows. First, the factor structures of individual performance dimensions were examined through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis before verifying the integrated model. A single factor structure for task performance and two-factor structure for CWB aimed at individuals (CWB-I) and organizations (CWB-O) were identified. Both contextual and adaptive performance were shown to have a hierarchical factor structure. Specifically, contextual performance consists of the 3-6 factor structure of individual-oriented (help-cooperation and consideration-courtesy), organization-oriented (organizational support and compliance), and conscientious-initiative (persistence-initiative and self-development). For adaptive performance, the 2-5 factor structure was extracted. That is, the five factors of adaptive performance are divided into two factors of reactive (coping, interpersonal adaptation, and stress) and proactive (creativity and learning). The integrative job performance model of task performance, contextual performance, adaptive performance, and CWB was verified. The hierarchical factor structure of the integrated model composed of the sub-factors of each performance dimension was also confirmed. Second, the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) demonstrated that the variance of G factor is 62.0%, supporting the presence of G factor in performance. Third, the differences were found in both antecedents of personality (HEXACO and dark personality factors) and criteria of job effectiveness (wage, promotion, job satisfaction, job engagement, burnout, and turnover intention) among the 4 dimensions of job performance. indicating the discriminant validity of performance dimensions. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed based on the above findings.
The effect of socio-economic status on impression management (IM) in employment interviews: The mediating effect of the sense of control
Authors: Nam SangHee , Kim YoungDo , Chang JaeYoon
Published: January 2022

This study investigated the effect of socio-economic status (SES) on honest IM (self-promotion, honest ingratiation, honest defensive impression management) and deceptive IM (slight image creation, extensive image creation, deceptive ingratiation, image protection) in employment interview, and examined the mediating effect of sense of control. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 253 university students with employment interview experiences. The results showed that subjective SES had a positive association with self-promotion and honest defensive IM of honest IM, and this relationship was mediated by sense of control. However, subjective SES was not associated with honest ingratiation of honest IM, nor with any tactic of deceptive IM. While objective SES was positively associated with sense of control, objective SES had no statistically significant relationship with honest and deceptive IM. The current study provided meaningful implication as it emphasized the role of SES in the employment interview by identifying behavioral differences among job applicants with varying SES, and providing basic explanation on the effect of SES by clarifying the role of sense of control.

Authors: Seol JeongHoon , Yoo MinJun , Sohn YoungWoo
Published: January 2022

Empirical studies on positive outcomes of occupational calling are increasing, but there are relatively few considerations of psychological variables and mechanisms that predict perceiving a calling. We studied a mediating effect of leader identification and moral identity in a relationship between ethical leadership and occupational calling. 324 Navy personnel participated in this study and responded to the following questionnaires: Ethical Leadership Scale (ELS); Leader Identification Scale; Moral Identity Scale; Calling and Vocation Questionnaire (CVQ). The results showed a significant relationship between ethical leadership, leader identification, moral identity, and occupational calling. Also, ethical leadership was positively related to occupational calling, and moral identity was also positively related to occupational calling. Lastly, a sequential mediating model showed the relationship between ethical leadership and occupational calling was mediated by both leader identification and moral identity sequentially. Based on the results, theoretical and practical implications for promoting moral identity and occupational calling, limitations, and suggestions for future research were discussed.

The aims of this study was to identify what behavior of employees in order to overcome the isolation in the environment in which telecommuting was implemented. Specifically, this study was the networking behavior will appear as a positive coping method for the employees to overcome the isolation, and the mediating process that it will have a positive effect on job crafting through these behaviors is examined. Also want to identify the moderating effect according of affective commitment in this influence series of processes. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted on employees who are currently telecommuting from domestic companies and a total of 313 data were analyzed. The results of this study are as follows. First, professional isolation had a positive related on task networking behavior and social isolation had a positive related on friendship networking behavior. Second, the relationship between networking behavior and job crafting had all positively related. Third, the mediating effect of networking behavior was significant in the relationship between isolation and job crafting. Fourth, the moderating effect of affective commitment was significant only in the relationship between social isolation and friendship networking behavior. Fifth, the moderated mediating effect of affective commitment was significant only in the indirect effect of friendship networking behavior. Based on these findings, we expect to help to understand the emotions and behaviors of employees that may appear at the beginning of introduction of telecommuting in depth.
The Effects of leader–member perception of LMX quality
Authors: Rah YoonJung , Suh YongWon
Published: January 2022

Unlike most leader-member exchange research based solely on members' perceptions, the purpose of this study is focusing on leader-follower mutual perceptions of LMX and how it is related to work value congruence and follower outcomes such as affective commitment and turnover intention. Furthermore, we consider organizational culture and LMX differentiation as contextual variables that influences an antecedent and consequence of mutual perception of LMX. For this study, survey was administered to employees of various companies, and both leader and follower reported their perceptions of LMX. We finally analyzed responses of 266 leader-member dyad from 60 teams of 19 companies. The results show that leader-follower work-value congruence positively related to LMX perceived by leader-member and the sequential mediating effect of mutual perception of LMX and affective commitment in the relationship between work value congruence and turnover intention. Especially, through multilevel analysis, we examined the cross- level moderating effects of contextual variables such as organizational culture and LMX differentiation on mutual perception of LMX. As expected, findings show that the positive relationship between work value congruence and LMX perceived by leader-member is strengthened in the low ““performance oriented”” culture compared to high performance-oriented culture. Although the result was marginally significant, we also found that the cross-level interaction effects of LMX differentiation based on leader ratings on the relationship between the leader-member mutual perception of LMX and affective commitment. This implies that high mutual perception of LMX quality increases subordinate’s affective commitment when leader’s differentiation is low, and it results in lower turnover intention.
PERAN KOMUNIKASI ORANG TUA DALAM MENINGKATKAN MINAT BELAJAR ANAK DI MASA PANDEMI COVID 19
Authors: Durotunnisa  , Riyadi Nur Eka Wahyuningsih
Published: January 2022

Islam views that the first education carried out is family education. The educational situation is realized thanks to the association and the relationship of mutual influence between parents and children. Allah swt gives a lot of descriptions of how parents should educate their children in the Qur'an, which in general education must be based on love for children. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of parents in children's education is even greater at home. Because learning that is carried out online, either through zoom meetings, classroom, google meet, whatsapp and other applications, limits the monitoring or supervision of teachers on children's learning activities, this task is now the responsibility of parents. Many cases occur in online learning, especially the problem of children's interest in learning which generally shows poor results. This can be seen from the lack of attention of children in the tasks given by the teacher, slow in collecting until they do not do the task, children are lazy in following the learning process and so on. Regarding this problem, the author sees that the role of parents is very important in increasing children's interest in learning, namely by implementing effective communication both verbally and non-verbally, by always providing advice, motivation, encouragement and education about the importance of learning even though it is only done online. Through this, it is hoped that there will be an increase in children's interest in learning so that children's learning achieves better and maximum results.

This study aimed to determine the readiness of documentary institutions in the university environment to exploit the opportunities and challenges and what obstacles they encountered. This study used the qualitative method and in-depth interviews for data collection and a literature study. The researcher concludes that the biggest challenges facing documentary institutions are regulation and the readiness of human resources. Due to this, changes to regulations and educational curricula and the introduction of new documentation of pure science are priorities in improving professional education providers in library science, archives, and museology.
Exploring the effects of birth order on human lifespan in Polish historical populations, 1738–1968
Authors: Chmielewski Piotr Paweł , Żebrak Aleksandra , Kozieł Sławomir
Published: January 2022

While the relationships between birth order and later outcomes in life, including health and wealth, have been the subject of investigation for several decades, little or no data exist regarding the relationship between birth order and life expectancy in the Polish population. The aim of this study was to explore the link between birth order and lifespan in Polish historical populations. We obtained 8523 records from a historical dataset that was established for parishioners from the borough of Bejsce, including 4463 males and 4060 females. These data pertain to the populations that lived over a long period in a group of localities for which parish registers were well preserved. The Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and ANCOVA were run. The results strongly suggest that birth order affects male longevity. However, no such association was found for females. On balance, the hypothesis that first-born boys live longer because they are born to relatively younger parents has received some empirical support and deserves further study. We hypothesise that the effects of birth order on human health and lifespan might be overshadowed by other factors, including educational attainment, socioeconomic status and lifestyle.
The impact of cigarette smoking on the quality of sleep in Polish men
Authors: Witek Agnieszka , Lipowicz Anna
Published: January 2022

Quality of sleep directly impacts quality of life, whilst lifestyle significantly impacts night rest. Cigarette smoking is a serious threat to overall health, including sleep. Nicotine in cigarettes affects the nervous system, whilst the respiratory system is impacted by carcinogenic substances, such as dusts and tarred substances, inhaled with smoke. Cigarettes are assumed to be a risk factor in sleep disorders, including breathing sleep disorders.

This study’s aim was to analyze the impact of cigarette smoking on adult men’s polysomnographic parameters.

Polysomnographic records for 94 adult men were obtained from the polysomnography laboratory in Opolskie Province, Poland. Additionally co-morbidities, height, weight and frequency of smoking were also noted. Three groups of men were categorised according to the frequency with which they smoked: non-smokers, smoking less than a pack a day, smoking more than a pack a day.

Compared to non-smokers and mild smokers, men who were heavy smokers also exhibited the longest sleepless time (H=8.11; p=0.017), the maximum waking time following the onset of sleep (H=7.99; p= 0.018), the lowest sleep efficiency across the three groups (H=7.96; p=0.019), the greatest number of apnea events per hour of sleep (H=6.23; p= 0.045), the lowest Oxygen Level Nadir (H=11.44; p= 0.003) and the highest rate of limb movements per hour of sleep (H=9.81; p=0.007).

The dose effect was identified, which correlated more cigarettes men smoked per day with lower sleep quality.
Variability of nephological conditions in 1971–2010 based on measurements made at Bydgoszcz-Airport weather station

This paper contains a description of nephological conditions in the Bydgoszcz area based on data sourced from the Bydgoszcz-Airport weather station for 1971–2010. In the analysed forty-year period from 1971 to 2010 the average annual total cloud cover in Bydgoszcz – measured on a scale of 0–8 – was 5.5; for the warm season (April – September) it was 5.1, and for the cold season (October – March) 5.8. This corresponds to, respectively, 69, 64 and 72% coverage of the sky by cloud. Cloud cover was largest from November to February (6.1–5.8) and smallest in August (4.7). In 1971–2010, the average mean cloud cover value (scale 0–8) decreased from 5.6 in 1971–1990 to 5.4 in the multi-annual period 1991–2010 (by 0.05 per 10 years).

Published: January 2022

As of the beginning of September 2021, the COVID-19 outbreak has lasted for more than 1.5 years in Indonesia, especially on Java and Bali islands. Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia, is one of the areas that continued to impose restrictions on community activities at the highest level for that period. This is due to the high rate of COVID-19 spread in this region. In this paper, the influence of landscape and meteorological parameters on the spread of COVID-19 risk in Yogyakarta is investigated. This study utilises primary and secondary data obtained from observation, remote-sensing-image interpretation, literature study and data documented by several agencies. The data were statistically analysed using simple linear regression and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis utilising the average nearest neighbour. The results show that the variation in landscape and meteorological parameters in the Yogyakarta area does not have a significant impact on the spread of COVID-19. Ease of accessibility in various areas of Yogyakarta is able to overcome landscape barriers. This affects the random distribution pattern of COVID-19, clustering in plain areas that facilitate population mobility rather than in mountainous, volcanic or karst areas. Also, meteorological conditions with small variations do not impact the spread of COVID-19. In summary, this study shows that ease of mobility in a medium-wide area can encourage the spread of COVID-19 in various regions even though there are variations in its terrain and climate.
