Published: December 2022

Objectives

Country (traditional) foods are integral to Inuit culture, but market food consumption is increasing. The Qanuilirpitaa? 2017 Nunavik Health Survey (Q2017) reported similar country food consumption frequency compared to that in 2004; however, examining food items individually does not account for diet patterns, food accessibility, and correlations between food items. Our objective was to identify underlying dietary profiles and compare them across sex, age, ecological region, and food insecurity markers, given the links among diet, health, and sociocultural determinants.

Methods

Food frequency and sociodemographic data were derived from the Q2017 survey (N = 1176). Latent profile analysis identified dietary profiles using variables for the relative frequencies of country and market food consumption first, followed by an analysis with those for country food variables only. Multinomial logistic regression examined the associations among dietary profiles, sociodemographic factors, and food insecurity markers (to disassociate between food preferences and food access).

Results

Four overall dietary profiles and four country food dietary profiles were identified characterized by the relative frequency of country and market food in the diet. The patterns were stable across several sensitivity analyses and in line with our Inuit partners’ local knowledge. For the overall profiles, women and adults aged 30–49 years were more likely to have a market food–dominant profile, whereas men and individuals aged 16–29 and 50+ years more often consumed a country food–dominant profile. In the country food profiles, Inuit aged 16–29 years were more likely to have a moderate country food profile whereas Inuit aged 50+ were more likely to have a high country food–consumption profile. A low country and market food–consumption profile was linked to higher prevalence of food insecurity markers.

Conclusion

We were able to identify distinct dietary profiles with strong social patterning. The profiles elucidated in this study are aligned with the impact of colonial influence on diet and subsequent country food promotion programs for Inuit youth. These profiles will be used for further study of nutritional status, contaminant exposure, and health to provide context for future public health programs.

We have designed possible structures of the isomers of midi-fullerenes, namely C40, C42, C44, C46, and C48; three the most natural mechanisms of their formation being used: fusion of carbon cupolas having the same symmetry; fusion of fullerenes having compatible symmetry and embedding carbon dimers into initial fullerenes. The energies of the fullerenes calculated through the use of molecular mechanics are presented together with their graphs. It is found that in the majority of cases the minimum-energy fullerenes are those, which have tetrahedral symmetries. The maximum-energy fullerenes refer to the three-fold T-symmetry.

Authors: Mitrofanov Vyacheslav N. , Korolеv Svyatoslav B. , Presnov Dmitrii V. , Komarov Roman N. , Akulov Mikhail M.
Published: December 2022

Background. Currently, on the general background the number of primary totak knee arthroplasties (TKA) increasing, so does the revisions. Among all the causes of revisions, periprosthetic joint infection occupies one of the leading positions. The generally accepted tactics of two-stage revisions, along with the infection suppression, implements other tasks: reducing pain, preserving and/or restoring joint function. Articular antibacterial spacers allow you to complete all the tasks and preserve/restore the quality of patients` life on staged treatment. However, studies demonstrating the results of periprosthetic joint infection treatment and the use of various articular spacers still do not clear it`s optimal design.
The aim of the study was to improve the intermediate treatment results of periprosthetic knee joint infection using articular spacer implantation.
Methods. A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed. At the first stage of the study, the results of surgical treatment of 420 patients with periprosthetic knee joint infection treated at the clinic in 20112019 were analyzed. At the second stage, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 182 patients were included in the analysis. Two representative groups are identified among them. In the comparison group, hand-made cement liner with articulating surface was used, in the main group conventional one.
Results. The implantation of the endoprosthesis components with the restoration of anatomical relationships in the joint and the ligamentous balance, the replacement of the cement liner with conventional one made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene led to reduction in the surgery duration, intraoperative blood loss and period of hospitalization, an increase in the range of motions in the joint, greater stability of the components and suppression of infection in 94.6% of patients.
Conclusion. The use of various spacers did not significantly affect the probability of infection suppression; however, the number of infection relapses was lower in the group where the liner made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene was used. Optimization of surgical treatment techniques and the use of articular spacer based on a three-component conventional endoprosthesis has significantly improved the treatment results of patients with periprosthetic infection of the knee joint.
Design of Circular Patch Array Microstrip Antenna Using Slot for ISM Band
Authors: Sabila Liya Yusrina , Yudhana Anton , Amri Muhammad Miftahul , Akrima Asra , Pratama Igo Putra
Published: December 2022

This paper presents a Microstrip Antenna Analysis for the ISM Band with a circular patch design with a radius of 17 mm at a frequency of 2,400 – 2.484 GHz. The fabricated array antenna has a very compact width and length of 9.5 x 7.5 cm each. Therefore, an increase in bandwidth on the monopole antenna can be applied to the array arrangement. So to get the best antenna design, two optimizations of antenna size changes are carried out during the simulation: optimization of patch radius and slot length. The radius variation is used to shift the frequency range and slot length for impedance matching, as seen from the S11 value of less than -10 dB. From each change, the best results are taken. Experiments get the best antenna simulation results and are then fabricated. From the measurement results on the fabricated antenna, the lowest S11 value is -19.602 dB, and the gain is 3.52 dBi. The slot technique's optimization process has successfully shifted the frequency to approximately 100 MHz and increased the bandwidth by about 5% or 40 MHz.

From Fishing to Catching: Developing Actionable Red Flags in Public Procurement to Prevent and Control Corruption
Authors: De Michele Roberto , Vieyra Juan Cruz
Published: December 2022

How can entities responsible for public procurement more reliably detect collusion and other irregular behavior? Most of the existing red flag tools are based on ex post analysis of public procurement data and are not integrated into national procurement systems. This does not allow them to identify irregularities in a timely manner, negatively affecting the efficiency and transparency of public spending. This document describes the red flags solution implemented in Paraguay, which contributes to solving these problems. It combines rule-based and machine learning algorithms to provide public officials with accurate, real-time information to reliably detect irregularities in the procurement process, without reducing efficiency.
Diagnostic indicators of tooth flank wear based on the analysis of tooth spectral component parameters
Authors: Sunduckov A. E.
Published: December 2022

The wear of gear tooth flanks of aircraft gas turbine engines is the most common and the most dangerous of their defects. Practice shows that vibroacoustic diagnostics is the most effective method for monitoring the technical condition of rotary machines, including gears. It has been shown that, in this case, it is difficult to use a widely applied diagnostic indicator of gear tooth flank wear as the intensity of an n-dimensional vector from a series of tooth harmonics. This is due to the need to measure vibration parameters in a wide frequency range and low intensity of higher tooth harmonics. The factors affecting the kinematic error, such as: technological factors (manufacturing and assembly defects), operational mode-related factors (speed, temperature, transmitted load), design-related factors (flexibility of gearing parts, tooth flank modification), and tooth flank wear, lead to a significant increase in the width of the tooth spectral component. This allowed us to suggest diagnostic indicators of wear based on the analysis of changes in its width. Using the example of a turboprop differential gearbox, we experimentally confirmed that the use of an auto power spectrum with filter width much smaller than the width of the tooth spectral component is ineffective in studying the defect being considered. The parameters of the spectral component of the first tooth harmonic such as its width at the selected levels relative to the maximum value and their combinations, and the tooth harmonic intensity defined as a function of the power spectrum density are more sensitive to wear. The resulting dependences of the proposed parameters on the amount of wear have a pronounced non-linear nature. These diagnostic indicators allow several-fold reduction of the frequency range being analyzed.

Authors: Chebykina Marina V. , Stepanov Evgeny V. , Zhityaeva Oksana I.
Published: December 2022

The article reflects that intellectual property management, carried out under conditions of uncertainty and significant financial risks, is currently gaining special importance in innovation activities. The impact of taking into account potential risks is mainly manifested at the early stages of innovation activity the stage of scientific research, the initiation of innovations, the selection of alternatives to innovative projects. In the proposed model of analysis and assessment of innovation risks, it is necessary to take into account such factors as: the presence of copyrights, the presence of patent protection, the availability of licenses for certain types of activities, the target orientation of the innovation project, the experience of implementing certain stages of the project, etc. These factors significantly affect the degree of risk of an innovative project and the probability of obtaining a positive result during its implementation. In addition, taking into account risk factors allows you to increase the efficiency of the project. The article substantiates that the essence of organizational and methodological support for the management of intellectual activity of industrial enterprises is the formation and use of new technologies and new business models of production, taking into account the intellectual property objects available on them. In this case, methodological support consists in the development of individual competencies of the company's personnel, the provision of new opportunities for the organization of innovative activities within the structure of the enterprise, the availability of intellectual property, the development of management competencies. The effectiveness of methodological support of management decisions in the innovative activity of an industrial enterprise based on the use of intellectual property is determined by the effectiveness of managing directly the objects and results of intellectual property, which are considered as the main tool for ensuring innovation, a prerequisite for all the activities of the enterprise, its sustainable development and increasing competitive advantages. Consequently, the methodological support of management decisions in the field of intellectual property greatly contributes to the development and achievement of new results of innovative activity.

The article compares the goals and content of the Strategy of the Leningrad region with the guidelines formed in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation as of February 4, 2021 № 68 On assessing the effectiveness of the activities of senior officials (heads of the highest executive bodies of state power) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the activities of the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is to form recommendations for correcting the Strategy of the Leningrad region in order to ensure the implementation of the goals and objectives set in accordance with the guidelines of the federal level. As a research method, the article uses diagnostics based on the author's table, which allows assessing the goals and content of regional strategies according to 20 parameters established in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation as of February 4, 2021 № 68, and compliance with the criteria for achieving indicators: the presence of target orientation, quantitative standards, measures to achieve, resource support. The results of the study made it possible to conclude that the Strategy of the Leningrad region is inconsistent with federal standards; according to the results of diagnostics, the strategy of the region scored 36 points. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the document can be classified as a set of events. The work also highlighted those indicators, the achievement of which is spelled out in sufficient detail in the Strategy of the region (for example, the quality of the urban environment), as well as indicators that were not taken into account when developing the document (for example, trust in authorities). The practical significance of the results obtained is determined by the possibility of their application in the practice of strategic regional forecasting and planning. The prospects for the study are to evaluate the strategies of other regions of the Russian Federation on the basis of the author's diagnostic table, in particular, the subjects of the Northwestern Federal District, and conduct a comparative study on this topic.

Authors: Kemaykin Nikolay K. , Maskina Elena A.
Published: December 2022

This study is aimed at clarifying the main reasons for the formation of consumer debt to pay for the services of housing and communal services. The subject of the study is the opinion of consumers about the quality of services and factors that reduce their payment. The purpose of this study is to identify the main reasons for non-payment of housing and communal services by consumers. To achieve the goal of the study, the following tasks were solved: the assessment of the quality of services was determined; the degree of consumer awareness was assessed; the main reasons for non-payment of services were identified. The research methodology was based on a sociological survey of consumers. For this, a quota proportional sample was used among consumers of housing and communal services in the city of Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region. The study was door-to-door with a given route. As a result, the following causes and factors affecting the occurrence of arrears in payment for services were identified: regular increase in tariffs; discrepancy between the price and the quality of services; lack of information about the rights and obligations of consumers in this area; low level of communication between consumers of services and performers; high need for meetings of owners of premises with representatives of housing and communal services; low income. The results of this study are of great theoretical significance for the development and formation of programs for the socio-economic development of individual municipalities, as well as for the development of strategic programs for the development of enterprises in the sphere of housing and communal services. The practical significance lies in the fact that the main stakeholders of this market, using the described methodology, can repeat the study to identify the main factors in quantitative terms that reduce the pace of sustainable development of housing and communal services and municipalities.
Model of the activity load of the interrogator during the investigation of fires
Authors: Karpov Sergey Yu.
Published: December 2022

Modern trends in the socio-economic development of the state imply the optimization of human resources for law enforcement agencies. This task is also relevant in the context of ensuring fire safety, since determining the optimal number of interrogators of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia will improve the quality of fire investigation and provide a preventive component in reducing the number of fires and damage from them. The balanced structure of the body and the optimal number of employees will ensure the timely and high-quality provision of public services, the consumers of which are citizens of the Russian Federation. Therefore, determining the optimal activity load of an employee in the context of an increase in the service area and reengineering of the number of employees of the federal state fire supervision is a necessary tool in determining the effective structural and staffing of the inquiry agency of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. The purpose of the article is to develop and propose an approach for predicting the optimal workload of an employee in fire investigation activities. This study proposes an information-analytical model for determining the optimal load of an interrogator of a territorial subdivision of an inquiry agency of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. The basic factors and criteria influencing the determination of the functional load of an employee in the investigation of fires are considered. Methods and methods for predicting the time spent on performing the main work in the fire investigation activities are given. The activity load of an employee is a constituent element (indicator) in making a managerial decision to form the optimal structure of the body. The use of geoinformation technologies and simulation of prompt arrival at potential fire sites is proposed to determine the optimal territorial boundaries of employee service and use the results obtained in predicting the optimal activity load. Scientific novelty lies in the developed information-analytical model for determining the optimal load of the interrogator of the territorial division of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, as well as the method for collecting initial data for calculation.

Modern society is undergoing numerous rapid changes, which include both opportunities and challenges for individuals of all ages. In this environment, young people, particularly students, are frequently confronted with situations that need them to choose and make decisions. The primary goal of this study was to (i) investigate variations in students' attitudes toward decision-making processes based on gender and school year. (ii) Students, administrators, and lecturers assess the students' own steps in putting decision-making into practice. A sample of 697 students and 120 administrators and lecturers were chosen from six school universities using the random sampling technique. Our research yielded the following results: (1) There is a statistically significant difference in male and female attitudes toward decision-making; and (2) there is a statistically significant difference in freshmen's and seniors' attitudes toward decision-making. Steps in student decision-making include: First, pupils decide to identify the issue. Next, they select the optimal solution. Step three is to make a list of potential possibilities. In the next stage, they collect the necessary information about the problem. Finally, students analyze each plan. This study implies that students, administrators, and lecturers rate students' decision-making processes equally.
Developing a Stealth Assessment System Using a Continuous Conjunctive Model
Authors: Yu Jiaqi , Ma Wenchao , Moon Jewoong , Denham André
Published: December 2022

Integrating learning analytics in digital game-based learning has gained popularity in recent decades. The interactive nature of educational games creates an ideal environment for learning analytics data collection. However, past research has limited success in producing accessible and effective assessments using game learning analytics. In this study, a mathematics educational game called The Nomads was designed and developed to train learners’ adaptive expertise in rational number arithmetic. Players’ game log data were captured and fitted to a cognitive diagnostic model (CDM) — CCM (continuous conjunctive model). CCM lends itself well to the complex and dynamic nature of game learning analytics. Unlike traditional CDMs, CCM generates parameters at an attribute level and offers more parsimonious diagnoses using continuous variables. The findings suggest that learners’ attribute mastery improved during the gameplay and that learners benefit from using the scaffolds for three of the attributes instructed by the game. This study presents the application of a powerful new tool for game learning analytics. Future studies can benefit from more generalized analytics models and more specified learning attributes and game tasks.
Time-dependent transformations of the internal image of disorder in patients with chronic back pain
Authors: Kotelnikova Anastasia V. , Kukshina Anastasia A. , Tikhonova Anastasia S. , Khaustova Anna V.
Published: December 2022

Rationale: Pain is the most prevalent symptom of any disease, with back pain comprising 12 to 33%. Chronic back pain ranges fourth among the causes of disability. About 60% of patients with chronic pain have symptoms of depression. However, there is paucity of empirical data on psychological aspects of the pain syndrome chronization in patients with back pain.
Aim: To study the temporary transformation of the internal image of disorder in patients with chronic back pain.
Materials and methods: In this observational cohort analytical study, we evaluated the contribution of pain duration into the formation of the internal image of disorder in 84 patients with chronic pain lasting for up to 55 years and caused by dorsopathy. The patients (53 women and 31 men aged 23 to 86 years, with pain intensity of up to moderate degree) were those admitted to an in-patient department for the secondary medical rehabilitation. The internal image of disorder was operationalized with the following psychometric scales: McGill Pain Questionnaire, the Restoration of the Locus of Control Scale, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, and the Psychological Factors of Attitudes to the Disease and its Treatment Scale.
Results: The sensory level of the internal image of disorder was characterized by mixed (neuropathic and dysfunctional) pain in 29 (34.5%) of the cases and nociceptive pain in 55 (65.5%) of the cases. In the patients with nociceptive pain, the duration of pain was negatively correlated with their perception of self-efficacy towards the disease (the intellectual level of the internal image of disorder). With time, their self-confidence and the ability to get rid of pain was decreasing (R = -0.32, p = 0.02). The decrease looked like waning fluctuations with a maximum decline rate in the second year of the disease.
Conclusion: During the first year from the disease manifestation, patients with nociceptive pain are convinced that they have all necessary resources to cope with the disease; mandatory psychological support should be provided to them in the second year, with a dramatic drop of their self-efficacy. As for patients with mixed types of pain, the inclusion of sessions with a medical psychologist into their individual rehabilitation plan is advisable regardless of the duration of the pain syndrome.

Soil moisture is an important factor affecting the plant growth. For a long time, the convenience, timeliness and accuracy of soil moisture monitoring have been limited due to the backward of observation methods and equipment. Therefore, the quantitative prediction of soil moisture has become a difficult problem. Aiming at the problems of high erection cost, easily damaged sensors and low measurement accuracy of the existing fixed sensor soil moisture monitoring system, a soil moisture prediction model based on the long short term memory neural network (LSTM) integrating the particle swarm optimization (PSO) (PSO-LSTM) is designed and implemented. The hyperparameters of the LSTM network can be obtained based on the excellent global search ability of the PSO algorithm. According to the meteorological data and soil moisture data of Haidian Park in 2019, the long short term memory(LSTM) neural network based prediction model is constructed with input vectors of surface temperature, average temperature, evaporation, sunshine hours, precipitation and average wind speed, and the output vector of soil relative humidity. The results show that compared with the back propagation(BP) neural network, the Elman neural network and the LSTM neural network, the proposed PSO-LSTM model has higher prediction performance.
ORGANIZACIONES NO GUBERNAMENTALES EN AMÉRICA LATINA: CONTROL DE ARMAS DE FUEGO Y REDUCCIÓN DE LA VIOLENCIA ARMADA
Authors: Álvarez Velasco Carla Morena
Published: December 2022

Este artículo describe la influencia de Organizaciones No Gubernamentales de América Latina, en la creación de normas internacionales y en la promoción de normas nacionales orientadas a controlar la proliferación de armas de fuego y la reducción de la violencia armada. El objetivo es, por una parte, visibilizar el papel de estas organizaciones en la promoción de medidas para mitigar los efectos negativos derivados de la proliferación de armas de fuego; y por otra, mostrar sus límites discursivos y de acción, en esta misma labor. Para cumplir con este objetivo, se recurrió al análisis del discurso de más de 50 ONG, integrantes de la antigua Coalición Latinoamericana contra la Violencia Armada.

To determine whether the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) hepatitis C (HCV) treatment campaign reached marginalized populations, we compared HCV care by previous incarceration status with Veterans Aging Cohort Study data. Of those with and those without previous incarceration, respectively, 40% and 21% had detectable HCV, 59% and 65% underwent treatment (P = .07); 92% and 94% of those who completed treatment achieved sustained virologic response. The VHA HCV treatment effort was successful and other systems should replicate those efforts. (Am J Public Health. 2023;113(2):162–165. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307152 )
PERFORMANCE OF CONVENTIONAL, ISLAMIC, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT (SRI) INDICES DURING COVID-19: A STUDY OF INDONESIAN STOCK MARKET
Authors: Hidayah Nur , Swastika Putri
Published: December 2022

This paper investigates (i) the volatility of Indonesian Islamic, SRI, and Conventional equities, (ii) their serial correlation, and (iii) their dynamic correlation and relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using MGARCH-DCC, our findings suggest that the Islamic index is most volatile but performs more efficiently than the others and exhibits no co-movement with Conventional and SRI during the Pandemic crisis. The study empirically shows the resilience and efficiency of the Islamic stocks in Indonesia during the Pandemic. These findings provide valuable and practical recommendations on portfolio diversification for investors and offers policy implications for regulators interesting in and dealing with impact or responsible investing.
THE ADJUSTED MARKET POWER, COMPETITION, AND PERFORMANCE: ISLAMIC VS CONVENTIONAL BANKS

Published: December 2022

This study explores the relationship between competition and performance in a dual-banking setting. More specifically, we compare whether using the Traditional Lerner index (TLI) the efficiency-adjusted Lerner index (EALI) would yield different conclusions. We take data from 2008 to 2020 and take Malaysia as a case study. Considering the nature of the dataset and the variables within, we employ the system Generalized Method of Moments. Our findings reveal contradictory results when market power is measured differently. Based on the overall sample, the models using the adjusted market power is supportive of the ‘competition-stability view’ while the models with TLI report evidence in favor of the ‘competition-fragility view.’ The Islamic banks' results support the ‘competition-fragility view’ when competition is measured with the efficiency-adjusted Lerner index (EALI) and the ‘competition-stability view’ when measured with the TLI. These findings are robust to different econometric estimators and carry important policy implications.
Predicting the risk of heatstroke: Development of a highly accurate model

Published: December 2022

Background
High temperatures in urban areas caused by global climate change and urban heat island intensification have led to an increase in the number people experiencing heat related illness, the most serious of which is heatstroke. To help prevent heatstroke, an accurate model should be developed that will predict dangerous conditions so that people can take preventive actions.
Method
The goal of this study was to compare three methods for predicting heatstroke risk: multiple regression analysis (MR), generalized additive model (GAM), and time-stratified case-crossover analysis (TC). Susceptibility to heatstroke is likely to be dependent on year-wise trends and is sensitive to training data, but most previous models have only tested a limited amount of training data. In this study we investigated the optimal number of years to use as training data. By comparing the errors of each method, the error influencing factors in the training data was identified.
Results
The TC errors were the smallest (p<0.005) and much less sensitive to the training data than others. The MR and GAM errors were significantly larger when the number of extremely hot days differed between the training and test data (p<0.01, p<0.05). All three methods tended to increase in accuracy as more past data years were added to the training data, but to decrease in accuracy after a certain point. The optimal accuracy was obtained by using data from three or four years.
Conclusions
As a result, a highly accurate risk model that was robust to training data was developed using the odds ratios produced by TC with low sensitivity to training data, something that has not been possible with previous models. This modeling approach is universally applicable and can be used to make urban areas safer in future.
