PROSTHETIC TREATMENT OF A PATIENT WITH RESECTION OF THE HARD PALATE WITH AN OBTURATOR WITH A SILICONE BASE
Authors: Gerdzhikov Ivan
Published: December 2023

The most commonly used treatment method for maxillary resection patients is with an obturator, closing the communication between the oral and nasal cavity. Prosthetic methods and means with different types of materials are used for its fabrication. The purpose of the described clinical case is to track the opportunity for treatment of a patient with resection of the hard palate, with an obturator with a silicon base.The clinical case tracks the treatment of a patient with maxillary carcinoma. Preliminary alginate impressions were taken from the jaws. A custom tray with which a functional impression with a silicone material was taken, was fabricated for the mandible. The height and the central position of the mandible were determined with record bases with wax rims. The dentures were finished with heat cured resin. The upper denture was used as a custom tray for taking a functional impression of the prosthetic field with silicone cream material. After packing in the laboratory, the impression material was replaced with permanent soft relining material Molloplast B (Detax). The finished dentures were adjusted and articulated until bilaterally balanced occlusion was achieved. Treatment results showed good retention and stability of the prosthetic construction. Functional impression shaping and subsequent replacing with silicon material ensured a good and tight hermetic seal in the area of the defect. The use of permanent soft relining material allowed a trauma-free transmission of masticatory pressure and a stable connection with the plastic base of the obturator. The patient’s eating and speech as well as the fluid intake were successfully restored. The achieved results improved the quality of life of the patient and his self-esteem. Prosthetic treatment with an obturator with a silicon base provides good retention and stability of the prosthetic construction which allows successful restoration of the patient`s eating and speech.

Authors: Mireva Mihaela , Tsekov Milan
Published: December 2023

The most common complications of chronic venous disease are venous ulcers and superficial thrombophlebitis. The current study aimed to determine the incidence of superficial thrombophlebitis in patients with chronic venous disease and to follow frequency and cause of disease recurrence. In a nine years period, 495 patients were treated for superficial thrombophlebitis in the clinic of Vascular Surgery of Military Medical Academy and in the diagnostic-consultative office of vascular surgery. Of them 108 (22%) patients, were admitted for surgery. The goals of therapy for STP are to prevent the clot progressing into the deep venous system and to hasten the resolution of the inflammatory and thrombotic processes in areas already affected. The first option of treatment consists of perscription of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs, venotonics and low molecular weight heparin. Only in cases when the thromboplebitis of the great or small saphenous vein cames closer the SFJ or SPJ, the surgery is necessary. The surgical techniques that are usually applied are crossectomy of the GSV, or SSV and less often thrombectomy of the EIV, phlebotomy, phlebocutaneoectomy. The other 387(78%) patients underwent conservative therapy with AINS, antiagregant or anticoagulant therapy. Patients with chronical venous insufficiency and varicose veins are more at risk for superficial thrombophlebitis appearance.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR TREATMENT WITH A TEMPORARY OBTURATOR MADE OF THERMOPLASTIC FOIL
Authors: Gerdzhikov Ivan
Published: December 2023

Prosthetic treatment with a temporary obturator is an intermediate stage in the overall prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with maxillary resection. According to prevailing opinions, treatment with a temporary obturator should start around 2 weeks to 2-3 months after resection and to continue until the final completion of the healing processes in the defect. Due to the dynamic changes in the defect, this treatment stage is associated with many difficulties, requiring frequent correction of the obturator and up to 12-14 clinical visits on average. The aim of the research is to track the opportunity for fabrication of a temporary obturator of thermoplastic foil with vacuum forming apparatus and its efficiency for restoring speech and fluid intake in patients with maxillary resection. For the aim of the study we conducted a treatment of a 45-year-old patient operated a week ago for maxillary carcinoma. As a result, the left alveolar bone and a part of the hard palate with a diameter of 10 mm were resected, with teeth 13 to 23, 16 and 17 preserved. The defect was padded with gauze and an impression with an irreversible hydrocolloid impression material was taken. In the laboratory a grade 4 plaster working model was cast on which the borders of the palatal plate were outlined. For the frontal teeth, these were the cervical areas of the teeth, and for the distal - their equators. In the area of the defect and the missing teeth the border reached the transitional fold, and distally - the soft palate. The plate was made from foil of 1 mm diameter which was drawn onto the model with a vacuum forming apparatus and was cut along the indicated borders. The palatal plate - obturator successfully closed the comunication to the nasal cavity and restored the opportunity for fluid intake, which was the main problem for the patient. The use of a foil with a thickness of 1 mm provided stability and resistance of the construction. As a result of this, the necessary hermetic seal of the defect was achieved and the speech of the patient was normalised. The described treatment methodology with a temporary obturator allows the successful restoration of speech and fluid intake during the healing processes in the defect. The main advantages of the method are the fast and easy fabrication, the opportunity for multiple corrections and the short period of adaptation.

Lean Six Sigma Studies in Türkiye: A Literature Review
Authors: Deniz Nurcan , Tükenmez İlknur
Published: December 2023

The literature in the field of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is developing in Türkiye as well as over the world. However, theses and papers written in Turkish are waiting to be disseminated. This paper aims to investigate LSS in the Turkish context with the purpose of identifying the current state, gaining insight and exploring future directions. This paper implements the systematic literature review methodology to identify and review all relevant studies in Turkish literature. This paper covers the literature on LSS in Türkiye from 2004 to 2021. As a result, a total of 32 theses and 29 papers were investigated in detail. This paper not only focuses on years, sectors, areas etc. of the studies, but also analyses the contents of papers in relation to enterprise size, project prioritization, and quality tools used in DMAIC phases, and improvements after implementation in terms of descriptive and content analysis. The results show that, although there are many LSS implementations in Turkish context, they could not be shared with global academic area due to the national language usage. LSS implementations have an increasing trend in last years and highly focused on manufacturing sector and large companies. The lack of structured way of applying LSS, especially not using project prioritization and selection methodology takes attention. This paper shows the gaps and future directions in Türkiye for researchers and provides a groundwork to develop a roadmap for Turkish organizations.

Published: December 2023

Indonesian waters cover a high diversity of marine organisms (micros- and macros-) of interest to scientists. Among this diversity, the neglected bryozoan had been scarcely reported due to lack of information from this area, especially on the epizoic diatoms since they are favorable as their dietary. This preliminary study aimed to investigate and witness the presence of epizoic diatom on bryozoan Poricellaria ratoniensis. Our data revealed an assemblage of diatoms attached to bryozoan surfaces and exhibiting taxonomic diversity. In total, members of five genera Amphora, Cocconeis, Neodetonia, Staurophora, and Thalassiosira were found, including the measurement of their cell size, respectively. The attached diatoms were mainly within the bryozoan operculum (op) range, functioning as feeding organs. However, further study is needed to understand the interaction between bryozoan and diatoms aiming for ecological services.

Authors: Sari Nurika Arum , Suryatmojo Hatma , Utami Arini Wahyu , Kurniangisih Nela Agustin
Published: December 2023

The Merawu Watershed is one of the critical watersheds in Indonesia. This watershed is located in Banjarnegara Regency which has an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level with high rainfall intensity. The type of soil in Banjarnegara Regency is mostly ultisol and inceptisol soil, making the area vulnerable to landslides. Under these conditions, intensive agriculture is mostly carried out by the surrounding community, with the main commodity being planted is potatoes. Planting without paying attention to soil and water conservation techniques on steep land and spraying pesticides with high intensity can trigger erosion, landslides, and environmental pollution. The hamlets of Tamansari and Penanggungan are prone to erosion, landslides, and environmental pollution due to intensive agriculture. But, the adaptation strategy adopted by the community is still lacking. Therefore, it is necessary to research the factors that influence community adaptation strategies in ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the adaptation strategy. The method used in this research is the logit model method. The respondents used in this study were 30 from the Tamansari Hamlet and the Penanggungan Hamlet. The results showed that the adaptation strategies factors for erosion are land area and household income, while landslides are assets and location. There are no variables that have a significant effect on the community's adaptation strategy to environmental pollution.

Malay populations are sub-groups of the Malayo-Polynesian, with various sub-ethnic groups believed to have different ancestral origins based on their migration centuries ago. The variability in the genetic pattern within the Malay population might impose different risk and disease probabilities or certain phenotypes. This study aimed to analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Malayo-Polynesian sub-groups of the Malay population in Southeast Asia. SNPs were genotyped through T-ARMS PCR in 52 unrelated individuals from three Malay sub-groups: Champa (n=16), Kelantan (n=25) and Bugis (n=11). Most (60%) of the SNP genotypes showed a similarity with all Malay sub-ethnic groups. The PCA plot showed that all Malay sub-ethnic groups were slightly separated but clustered together with Asian populations compared with population groups from other geographical regions. Overall, the SNP genotyping generated from this study provides essential knowledge of the genetic relationships within Malay sub-ethnic groups in Southeast Asia and other global populations. Additionally, these findings may be used for future illness research, drug response estimation, and the development of preventive and therapeutic management strategies toward more personalized or precision medicine.

Mean Platelet Volume Index for Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Thyroid Disorders: Evaluation of a Possible Diagnostic Biomarker
Authors: Haghi Alireza , Bawand Rashed , Nazari Mohammad , Rabiee Mohammad
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background: Thyroid cancers are the most prevalent cancers of the endocrine system and platelets are effective components in the progression of thyroid tumors and can be affected by some products of tumor cells.

Objective: To measure the changes of mean platelet volume (MPV) index in patients with benign and malignant thyroid disorders compared to healthy individuals.

Materials and Methods: Patients who had undergone thyroidectomy were divided into two groups of benign and malignant thyroid disorders. There was also a healthy control group with normal thyroid function. All participants were compared for MPV.

Results: This study assessed 190 participants, including 44 males (23.2%) and 146 females (76.8%). The age range of the participants spanned from 9 to 90 years, with an average age of 43.2 years and a standard deviation of 16.3 years. The number of euthyroid volunteers was 101 (53.2%), while 39 individuals (20.5%, five men and 34 women) had malignant thyroid disorders and the other 50 cases (26.3%, one man and 49 women) had benign thyroid disorders. The difference in MPV between patients with benign and malignant thyroid disorders and normal subjects—in the form of binary comparisons—was significant. Multinodular goiter and papillary thyroid carcinoma were the most prevalent benign and malignant thyroid disorders, respectively and had significantly different MPVs. Furthermore, the MPV value enabled differentiation between normal individuals and patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and those with multinodular goiter. However, the MPV index did not enable other subgroups of malignant and benign thyroid disorders to be differentiated. Lymphatic invasions were also unable to be detected by measuring MPV changes.

Conclusion: Platelet volume measurement can be used as a complementary method for the differentiation of malignant and benign disorders of the thyroid gland.

Published: December 2023

The sensitivity and complexity of healthcare sector mandate having competent leaders within nursing graduates. They are expected to hit the ground and be ready to lead their way when joining their first workplace. Although, some literatures have illuded to the correlation between leadership competency level and graduated nursing students’ readiness for practice, none of them studied the direct correlation among them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of leadership competencies availability among nursing graduates of Jordanian nursing colleges and the degree of their readiness for practice, and the correlation among both variables. This study used a quantitative correlational method. 40 items questionnaire was developed for this study to assess leadership competency. while 22 items Casey- Fink survey was used to explore new graduates’ readiness for practice. The study sample was chosen based on convenience sampling technique and consisted of 268 Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNLs) who participate in supervising and preparing new graduating nurses in their first employment. The minimal required sample size was 260 participants, and the total number of obtained participants were 268. SPSS system was used to analyse the quantitative data in this study, frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation were calculated for all study survey items. Pearson correlation coefficients was calculated to measure the relationship between the degree of leadership competencies availability among graduates of Jordanian nursing colleges and their readiness to practice, whereas Spearman's rho test used to measure the strength of association between leadership dimensions and new graduate’s readiness for practice. The overall results showed a moderate availability of leadership competencies, and a moderate degree of readiness to practice among nursing graduates from CNLs perspectives. Pearson coefficient correlation value showed a strong positive relationship among new graduates’ leadership competencies availability and their readiness for practice. To conclude, It is highly recommended to incorporate and focus on nursing leadership within teaching curriculum over different academic years in an incremental manner starting from fundamental kills, then to moderate and advance levels. More connections for students with the nursing professional body outside the university may start at early academic stages, connecting them with national nursing councils, Committees, and health organizations to improve their leadership competence and make them ready for workplace when graduating is highly recommended.

Um mundo em recomposição e a necessidade da reafirmação ontológica do princípio da dialogicidade
Authors: Reis Valdeci
Published: December 2023

Já faz mais de um ano que tentamos executar nossos projetos de extensão em meio ao contexto pandêmico. As novas mutações do SARS-Cov-2, identificadas pelos virologistas que se dedicam a estudar o genoma do vírus, nos alertam para os desafios que teremos pela frente, na tentativa de reconstruir o tecido social brasileiro esgarçado pela crise sanitária. Diante de tal panorama, a extensão universitária, que, ao longo da sua história, sempre contribuiu no processo de democratização do acesso aos saberes por meio da interação dialógica, mais uma vez é chamada a dar a sua contribuição neste mundo em recomposição. O momento nos obriga refletir ontologicamente sobre o termo dialogicidade: “ser dialógico é não invadir, é não manipular, é não ‘sloganizar’. Ser dialógico é empenhar-se na transformação constante da realidade”.

Comparing Al-Faruqi's Concept of Islamization of Science with Kuntowijoyo's Prophetic Social Science
Authors: Syaefudin Fahmi
Published: December 2023

Muslims are faced with a time when the West dominates science. Muslims are shackled with the science of turats and irrationality inherent in every Islamic circle. That makes Islamic science stagnate and seem left far behind the Western world. This literature research collects data from various books and media to serve as a study's discussion source. The discussion begins by explaining Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi's concept of thinking about the Islamization of Science, then proceeds with Kuntowijoyo's Concept of Prophetic Social Science and draws a common thread between the two thoughts. The conclusion is that both have the same concentration in addressing the waves of modern science to be given a value following Islam.
Sources and basics of comprehending a positive-harmonious Self-concept as a structure-functional integrity
Authors: Furman Oksana
Published: December 2023

The article proves that the self-concept balances the behavior and activities of everyone in accordance with the specific socio-cultural living conditions, and also integrates personal and covital identification in its psycho-spiritual content, ensures the achievement of internal agreement, enables the interpretation of experience and is a source of various self-images and self-installation; at the same time, the delimitation description and psychological analysis of the concepts “consciousness”, “self-consciousness”, “Self”, “Self-concept”, “We-concept” were carried out, thanks to which the basics and foundation of the appearance of beliefs and ideas about the phenomenon of Self-concept are substantiated; the structural components of the psyche and the levels of a person’s mental life according to S. Freud’s theory are analyzed; it was found that self-consciousness, the central link of which is the Self-concept, is not only conditioned by triune processes (self-knowledge, self-attitude, self-regulation), but also has a fourth – self-comprehension, where self-creation and self-transformation of a person takes place; the content of the author’s model of a positive-harmonious self-concept of a person in its four-component composition is enriched: a) mental-cognitive: Self-image of the subject (Self-real, Self-informational-cognitive, Self-conscious, Self-ideal), b) emotional- evaluative: Self-attitude of a person (Self-real, Self-normative-reflexive, Self-subconscious, Self-ideal), c) action-creative: Self-deed of an individuality (Self-real, Self-value-reflective, Self-superconscious, Self-ideal), d) spontaneous-spiritual: Self-spiritual of the universum (Self-real, Self-unconscious, Self-ideal, Absolute of Self-spiritual); it is substantiated that the development of a positive-harmonious Self-concept contributes to the growth of balance both in the internal and external world, coherence and interrelationship between subject thought and personal self-attitude, individual actions and spiritual-universal self-reflection.
Peculiarities of the formation of early attachment models in children with traumatic experiences
Authors: Shved Mariana
Published: December 2023

This article presents the results of a meta-analysis of relevant studies published in English literature between 2010 and 2022, focusing on the definition of traumatic experience, types of psychological trauma, early attachment models, and the concept of mentalization. The search services PsycInfo, PubMed, APA Web-of-Science, and Research Gate were used to accomplish the set objectives. The influence of childhood traumatic events on the development of primary attachment models was explored. It was established that early attachment models are internal representations or perceptions formed during childhood, that determine a child’s perception of close individuals and their relationships. The effectiveness and scientifically substantiated aspects of the Neurosequential Model in Education and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) in working with children who have experienced traumatic events are described. It was found that childhood traumatic experience affects seven main aspects of psychology: sensory development, dissociation (changes in consciousness), attachment, affect regulation, behavioral regulation, cognitive domain, self-awareness, and identity development. Each type of traumatic experience has its conditions, characteristics, mechanisms, and consequences for the formation of early attachment models in children and overall psychosocial functioning. Thus, understanding the entire spectrum of changes, including neurobiological aspects, is crucial when working with children who have experienced traumatic events and require specialized support. This analysis revealed that the quality of parent-child interaction depends on parents' ability to mentalize and their capacity to understand the child‘s inner world, which, in turn, influences the formation of early childhood attachment models. Depending on the presence or absence of traumatic experiences in a child's life, different attachment styles can be developed. The identified generalizations shed light on the pathogenesis of relationship trauma-related disorders and can be practically applied in the development and implementation of professional recommendations or programs for psychosocial support for children who have experienced traumatic events. Emphasizing the necessity for further empirical research to gain a more detailed understanding of this issue.
The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction: History of Signing and Key Points
Authors: Fateenkov V. N.
Published: December 2023

The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction (the Chemical Weapons Convention or CWC) was approved by the U.N. General Assembly on 30 November 1992. The treaty entered into force on 29 April 1997. The aim of this work was to study the history of signing of the CWC and its key points. First attempts to develop an international agreement restricting the use of poisons and various toxic substances in hostilities have been made in the 17th century, when the 1675 Strasbourg Agreement between France and the Holy Roman Empire banned the use of poisoned bullets. During the First and Second Peace Conferences in The Hague (1899 and 1907), its participants pledged to refrain from employing «poison or poisoned arms» and from employing «arms, projectiles, or material of a nature to cause superfluous injury». The First World War showed that this ban turned out to be ineffective, and chemical weapons appeared on the battlefield. After the war, the «Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare», known as the Geneva Protocol of 1925, was developed. But this document did not ban the elaboration and the production of chemical weapons. The High Contracting Parties agreed not to use «asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and of all analogous liquids, materials or devices» against those States only, that acceded to the Protocol. Moreover, many States-Parties reserved their right to use chemical weapons in response to a first use by an enemy. The Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988) showed the ineffectiveness of the Geneva Protocol of 1925. Iraq’s massive use of chemical weapons against Iranian troops has accelerated the process of developing an international document – the CWC, the world`s first multilateral disarmament agreement, which provided for the verifiable elimination, within the prescribed time limit, of an entire class of weapons of mass destruction – chemical weapons. Nowadays 192 states have become parties to the CWC. The Russian Federation fully complied with the obligations undertaken by the CWC, the last Russian chemical munition was destroyed in September 2017.

In accordance with the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation, the implementation of the Russian Federation's conventional obligations in the field of chemical disarmament assumes, after the completion of the destruction of chemical weapons, the involvement of former chemical weapons destruction facilities (CWDFs) in the economic turnover in the interests of the industries, connected with defense and state security, and other industries. The aim of this work is to consider the optimal technologies of the destruction of former CWDFs. In order to obtain objective information about the effectiveness and sufficiency of heat treatment of scrap metal products and spent sorbents, potentially contaminated with toxic substances, the FSBE «FUBKHUHO» experts conducted an experimental study of the possibility of using only regular production facilities for thermal neutralization of emptied cases of chemical ammunition and other waste, located at the CWDFs «Maradykovsky», «Leonidovka» and «Pochep». It is established during this study, that the use of standard heat treatment complexes allows to ensure the sanitary and epidemiological safety of the neutralized materials when using their design modes in the temperature range 500–700 °C. This approach allows to reduce the time required for full implementation of liquidation activities at the CWDFs at the expense of the refusal from the creation of new and/or reconstruction of existing facilities of heat treatment, necessary for the neutralization of potentially dangerous fragments of metal constructions and other solid waste, and to increase the efficiency of using financial, material and human resources to ensure the implementation of abandonment operations in general. A timely solution to the problem of the elimination of the consequences of CWDFs' activities will create safe conditions for the development of traditional and new industries on the basis of former CWDF complexes and increase their investment attractiveness.
Today's Biothreats – Where the Past Predictions Meet the Future
Authors: Lakota J.
Published: December 2023

The catastrophic spread of COVID-19 pandemic, uncontrolled by modern medical science, regardless of whether it is artificial or not, clearly shows the limits of human mind and knowledge to resist this and other similar challenges. Thepurpose of this workis to show the danger of dual-use biotechnologies in the development of fundamentally new approaches to biological damage to humans. The forecasts of the development of biotechnologies, made by the experts of the American organization JASON and other specialists 23 years ago, are analyzed. It is shown in the article, that in general these forecasts and assessments turned out to be true. The technologies that, most probably, can be used for the development of new means of biological destruction are: binary bioweapons – these are two-component systems that are relatively safe to handle but become deadly when the two components come together on deployment; designer genes – where specific unnatural gene sequences are built into viruses or other life forms to incorporate into the genome of the unsuspecting host, which later becomes the victim; gene therapy – today a medical (partial) reality; the technology that allows medicine to repair or replace defective genes in a diseased individual might be subverted to introduce pathogenic sequences into healthy individuals; stealth viruses – viruses that could be fashioned by a researcher to infect the host but remain silent until activated by some physiological or environmental trigger; host-swapping diseases – new zoonotic agents which might be developed specifically for bioweapon purposes by modifying existing pathogens to seek human hosts; designer diseases – where the detailed knowledge of biochemical signaling pathways could conceivably be used to create designer diseases. In addition to those predicted by JASON, another dualuse technology has emerged recently – synthetic biology. It is a very powerful interdisciplinary branch of biology. Specific examples of the use of these technologies to create new means of biological warfare are given in the article. The author believes that it is necessary not only to track new dual-use biotechnologies, but also to improve conventional and scientific methods of monitoring their use.

Background: Renal failure is a disease in which the function of the kidneys decreases until they are no longer able to work at all in terms of filtering the body's electrolyte disposal, maintaining the balance of fluids and body chemicals such as sodium and potassium in the blood or urine production. Decreased kidney function indicates an increase in creatinine and urea levels in the blood. GFR or the ability of the kidneys to filter blood can be assessed by measuring serum creatinine levels, blood urea nitrogen levels. Serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels are inversely proportional to GFR. The normal BUN/Creatinine ratio is 10-15:1. The aim of this study was to determine the difference in the average BUN/Creatinine ratio in patients with Chronic Kidney Failure and Stage V Kidney Failure patients undergoing routine hemodialysis.

Method: This research is a quantitative descriptive study by taking secondary data from medical record data on 70 patients treated at Baiturrahim Hospital Jambi for the period February 2022-February 2023. Variables assessed in this study include the severity of kidney failure with the results of urea and creatinine examinations.

Result: Based on research that has been carried out found that the average BUN/Creatinine ratio in patients at non-end stage of CKD was 11.97, while in ESRD patients it was 5.69.

Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the results of the BUN/Creatinine ratio in patients with Chronic Kidney Failure and ESRD (P-value < 0.01) at Baiturrahim Hospital Jambi.
Enabling the Internet of Bodies Through Capacitive Body Channel Access Schemes
Authors: Celik Abdulkadir , Eltawil Ahmed
Published: December 2023

The Internet of Bodies (IoB) is an imminent extension of the vast Internet of things (IoT) domain, where wearable, ingestible, injectable, and implantable smart objects form a network in, on, and around the human body. Even though on-body IoB communications are required to occur within very close proximity of the human body, on-body wireless radio frequency (RF) IoB devices unnecessarily extend the coverage range beyond the human body due to their radiative nature. This eventually reduces energy efficiency, causes co-existence and interference issues, and exposes sensitive personal data to security threats. Alternatively, capacitive body channel communications (BCC) exhibit much less signal leakage by confining signal transmission to the human body and experience substantially less propagation loss than RF systems as body tissues has better conductivity than surrounding air. Furthermore, the BCC band (10-100 MHz) decouples the transceiver size from the carrier wavelength, eliminating the need for complex and power-hungry radio front-ends. Therefore, capacitive BCC is a key enabler to reach the ultimate design goals of ultra-low-power, high throughput, and small form-factor IoB devices. Albeit these attractive features, the communication and networking aspects of the capacitive BCC are not thoroughly explored yet. This paper is the first to model orthogonal and non-orthogonal body channel access schemes with or without cooperation among the IoB nodes. In order to address the quality of service (QoS) demand scenarios of different IoB applications, we present and formulate max-min rate, max-sum rate, and QoS sufficient operational regimes, then provide solution methodologies for optimal power and phase time allocations. Extensive numerical results are analyzed to compare the performance of orthogonal and non-orthogonal schemes with and without cooperation for various design parameters under prescribed QoS regimes.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the impact of Biophysical Profile (BPP) scores on the method of delivery and perinatal outcomes in a Bangladeshi context. Considering the significant role of maternal age, socio-economic status, and occupational factors in perinatal health, this research provides insights into how these variables interact with BPP scores to influence delivery methods and perinatal outcomes. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 150 pregnant women at or above 36 weeks of gestation. Participants were selected through purposive convenient sampling from outpatient and admission departments. The study assessed demographic details, BPP scores, mode of delivery, and perinatal outcomes. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, with a focus on the association between BPP scores and delivery methods, as well as perinatal outcomes. Result: The study population predominantly consisted of younger women, with 62.00% aged between 18-25 years and 22.67% between 26-30 years. Regarding BPP scores, 75.33% had a score of 10, 14.67% had a score of 8, and 10.00% had a score of 6. No significant correlation was found between BPP scores and the method of delivery (p-value = 0.393). However, a significant association was observed between lower BPP scores and adverse perinatal outcomes: 53.33% of participants with a BPP score of 6 experienced birth asphyxia, and 20.00% faced neonatal death. In contrast, 97.35% of participants with a BPP score of 10 had healthy babies. Conclusion: The study highlights the complex interplay of BPP scores, socio-economic and demographic factors in determining perinatal outcomes and delivery methods. It underscores the need for a holistic approach in obstetric care, integrating BPP scores with a comprehensive understanding of each patient's socio-economic and cultural context. This approach is crucial for optimizing delivery methods and improving perinatal outcomes in similar settings.

Traveling means visiting a new place that is different from where you currently live. Clean, beautiful and well-maintained beach conditions will make tourists more comfortable when traveling. However, damage to the coastal environment can occur due to human activities. The aim of this research is to determine the factors related to visitor behavior in throwing away rubbish at Lampu Satu Beach, Merauke Regency, Papua. The research design used is a cross-sectional research design. The sample was visitors to Lampu Satu Beach, Merauke Regency, Papua with a sample size of 321 samples. The statistical test used is the chi square test. Based on univariate analysis, the results showed that 139 (43.3%) respondents had good waste disposal behavior, 129 (40.2%) respondents had high knowledge, 128 (39.9%) respondents had a positive attitude, mature age < 46 as many as 306 (95.3%), respondents with female gender as many as 172 (53.6%), respondents with primary-secondary education 231 people (72.0%), respondents working as many as 171 (53.3%). Bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge (p=0.032), attitude (p=0.020), no significant relationship between age (p=1.000), gender p=0.818), education (p= 0.384), and occupation (p=0.210) with trash throwing behavior at Lampu Satu Beach. The approach involves educating beach visitors about awareness and the importance of caring for the surrounding environment. Involve influential community figures in changing the behavior of littering so that visitors are motivated to protect the beach environment.
