Authors: Samaksha P. B. , Kishor M. , Ramesh M.
Published: January 2022

Background:

Geriatric psychiatry has yet to receive its due recognition in India. There is increasing evidence of a rise in morbidity, mortality, hospitalization, and loss of functional status related to common mental disorders in the elderly patients. Collaborative care approach, including a clinical pharmacist, is one of the possible approaches to cope with geriatric patients with psychiatric patients.

Objective:

The study aimed to assess the impact of pharmacotherapy management of geriatric patients in collaboration with pharmacist and psychiatrist.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective interventional study was conducted in the psychiatry outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Mysore over 6 months. Geriatric patients who were newly diagnosed with depression, bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) and alcohol dependency syndrome (ADS) were included in this study. The clinical pharmacist scrutinized the patients for their participation in the study. Included patients were followed up on monthly basis for up to 4 months. Pharmacotherapy management was provided to the enrolled patients. Interventions provided were discussed with the psychiatrist. Descriptive analysis was performed for categorical variables.

Results:

A total of 84 geriatric patients were enrolled in the study. Majority of the enrolled patients were female (n = 46, 54.7%). Nearly half of the patients were illiterate (n = 40, 47.6%) and unemployed (n = 38, 45.2%). Among the enrolled patients, half of the study participants were diagnosed with depression (63.09%) followed by BPAD (27.38%), Schizophrenia (7.14%), and ADS (2.38%). A total of 155 medication information services were provided to 84 patients including patient counseling (n = 84, 100%), pharmacist interventions (n = 48, 30.96%) and medication information (n = 23, 14.83%). Most of the interventions were adverse drug reactions followed by drug-drug interactions, failure to receive drugs, untreated indication, subtherapeutic dose, drug use without indication, and overdose. Majority of the interventions (n = 46, 95.8%) provided were accepted by the psychiatrist.

Conclusion:

The study findings indicate that pharmacotherapy management services provided by the clinical pharmacist in collaboration with the psychiatrist benefited the geriatric psychiatric patients.

Novel Approach for Fare Prediction Using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Khandelwal Kunal , Sawarkar Atharva , Hira Swati
Published: January 2022

A survey suggests that the Flight and Cab fares vary according to various factors like location, time of the day, etc. The airline companies put into effect dynamic pricing for the flight tickets. Also, it changes with the festival, holiday season and weekends. So, what’s an excellent time to buy a flight ticket? The same can be seen with cabs as well, where the fare depends upon the number of passengers, traffic, etc. The seller has information about all of the factors, but the buyers are able to access the information that is limited through which we cannot predict the tariffs. Considering the characteristics like time of departure, the number of days left for departure and time of the day, it’ll give the prime time to purchase the ticket. Likewise, the cab companies like Uber and Ola use factors like traffic in a particular location, demand and supply factors, for example when the demand for cabs is high there is a hike in prices but when the demand for cabs is not high the prices are calculated normally according to their algorithm. Availability of drivers and type of car to travel in are also crucial factors in determining the cab fares. The motive of the paper is to analyse the factors that influence the deviation within the tariffs and the way they’re associated with the change within the prices. The impetus for the research paper is to inspect the elements which have an impact on the deviations in the tariffs and how they could be related to the variation within the prices. Using this data, build an algorithm that can assist buyers to buy a ticket at an optimal time when they get the maximum benefits and minimum fares.

Authors:   The National Research Nuclear University, Konstantinova Alfiya
Published: January 2022

The article considers the category of trauma as a specific object of interdisciplinary research, and identifies the signs of historical trauma. Historical trauma is understood as the preserved memory of generations about social upheavals and events that disrupted the usual course of life and transformed the system of basic values. The scientific objectives of the research involved analysis of the events that took place on the territory of the closed administrative and territorial formations of the nuclear industry in the 1990s and can be characterized as a historical trauma. The breakdown of the usual way of life in the determined, artificially created environment of closed cities which was more painful than in a significant part of open cities became the consequence of the all-Russian transient transformational dynamics. The characteristics of the period on the part of the population of atomic cities were often accompanied by themes of physical and domestic survival and social tension. The events that have taken the meanings of trauma place can be described as representing historical significance and having in the collective consciousness. On this basis, the author has concluded that the study of the post-Soviet history of closed administrative-territorial formations of the nuclear industry through the prism of trauma research opens up new perspectives in understanding their development.

Published: January 2022

The article uses new documentary sources and special literature and examines the participation of a Dagestani woman in the social and political life of the Republic in 1945-1950. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to study the role of women in the post-war reconstruction of the state national economy. The author aims to show the increased role of women in the post-war reconstruction of the national economy. The active participation of women in all spheres of life was associated, first of all, with an acute shortage of men in the post-war period, because many died on the war fronts, and among the returnees there were many disabled people who could work. Hereinafter, the participation of women in the socio-political, socio-economic and cultural life in the post-war period was in great demand. Women replaced men in almost all areas of economic life. The conducted research allows the author to show the peculiarities of the development of female activity in the Republic in 1945-1950.

The Effects of Weibull Distribution on Supplier Comparison using Lower Process Capability Index: A Case Study
Authors: Thavorn Erawin , Sudasna-Na-Ayudthya Prapaisri
Published: January 2022

In supplier comparison, durability, one of the quality dimensions, is important criterion. Lifetime data is widely used to measure the durability and commonly modeled with Weibull distribution. Many researchers employ process capability indices (PCIs) for comparing suppliers about quality aspect. However, applying these methods bring to some misleading results when lifetime data are considered because the methods are developed under normal distribution. This study attempts to develop the new method for comparing supplier using lower process capability index (Cpl) to apply with the lifetime data. To be guideline for developing the new method, this research aims to study the effects of Weibull distribution on supplier comparison using Cpl via a case study. The effect is studied through 2 performance measures, e.g., producer’s risk and the power of test obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results for Weibull distribution indicate that the process’s shape influences on the performance measures obviously. For right-skewed process, the producer’s risks are lower than  = 0.05, and power of tests do not exceed 0.10. Although power of tests are close to 1.00 in case of left-skewed process, the risks are greater than  = 0.05. For symmetric process, the producer’s risks are close to  = 0.05, but the power of tests do not exceed 0.40 in all cases. So, this study points out that the process’s shape is an important factor affecting to the performance of supplier comparison using Cpl leading to the possibly misleading results. To better understand the effects, this paper presents the example of supplier comparison using real data. The example shows that although the popular methods for handling Weibull distribution are applied, the supplier comparison results are not the same. So, manufacturers should be aware in supplier comparison regarding to lifetime data.

HIGHLIGHTS

Authors: Shahapur Salma S. , Khanai Rajashri , Torse Dattaprasad A.
Published: January 2022

In underwater acoustic communication, the information transmitted from 1 sensor node to another is corrupted due to errors persuaded by the noisy channel and other issues. To reduce the bit error rate, it is essential to propose suitable error regulator structure. In this paper, we simulate the performance analysis of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Interleaver Division Multiple Access Multiple Input Multiple Output scheme with different channel codes to improve bit error rate performance. Bit error rate and consumed power are measured by communicating arbitrarily generated information through AWGN network. From the simulation results and assessment of the 2 divergent channel coding, 2 interleavers and 3 modulation techniques. We conclude that turbo codes with random interleaver and binary phase shift keying are best suitable to improve reliability performance for underwater wireless acoustic communication. To reduce the burst error in underwater acostic communication we propose an hybrid approach IDMA OFDM MIMO. BER performance is improved upto 10−6.

West Moesian uplifted hydrogeological system
Authors: Spasov Victor
Published: January 2022

A comprehensive analysis of the hydrogeological conditions in the westernmost part of the Bulgarian Danube Plain is presented. During the Neogene and Quaternary period this area is subjected to continuous uplift. As a result, river valleys are deeply incised into the terrain and all shallow aquifers are well drained in the hydrological network. This process determines the specific regime and dynamics of the groundwater, characteristic of the identified West Moesian uplifted hydrogeological system.
The Quaternary aquifer is the most abundant in the system. It is formed in four riparian lowlands – two along the Timok River (Bregovska and Baley-Kudelin) and two along the Danube River (Novoselska and Vidin Lowlands) (Figs 1, 7, 8). The hydraulic properties of the aquifer are very good: Transmissivity T = 800-1000 m2/d and hydraulic conductivity K = 60-80 m/d. Several Ranney water collector wells extracting up to 140 L/s have been built in the Vidin lowland. Potential groundwater resources in this lowland are estimated at about 14 m3/s, with 13 m3/s being infiltrated from the Danube River. Second in importance in the hydrogeological system is the Sarmatian aquifer. It consists of two layers: upper – limestone and lower – sandy limestone (Figs 2 and 3). The waters are used for local water supply by capturing karst springs. The results of monitoring observations on the chemical composition of groundwater during the period 1980-1991 are presented in diagrams (Figs 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13). Groundwater, being the only water source in the area, must be carefully protected from industrial and agricultural pollution.
Comparative Study of the Effect of Clonidine and Butorphanol as Adjuvant to Intrathecal Bupivacaine for Post Operative Analgesia in Lower Abdominal and Lower Limb Surgeries
Authors: Ruku Rumani , Kassana Sanam
Published: January 2022

Background: Intrathecal adjuvants to local anesthetic enhance the quality and duration of spinal anaesthesia. The present study was aimed to comparatively evaluate clonidine and butorphanol as adjuvants to intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine for subarachnoid blockade during lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries.
Patients and Method: Sixty adult consented patients, undergoing elective lower-abdominal and lower-limb surgeries under subarachnoid blockade, were inducted in a blind randomized prospective study conducted in the Department of Anesthesia, GMC Jammu and allocated into 2 equal groups to receive either 3.2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (16mg) with 0.2 ml of Clonidine 30 µgm (Group I) or with 0.2 ml of Butorphanol 200 µgm (Group II). Patients were compared for the onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, intraoperative hemodynamic changes, time to first rescue analgesia, etc.
Result: The mean onset time of sensory block was 3.18±0.56 min in Group I and 3.69±0.83 min in Group II. Complete motor block was achieved in 11.53±3.05 min in Group I and in 12.72±3.17 min in Group II, with no significant difference. (p = 0.138) The duration of motor block was 294.28±33.85 min in Group I, as compared to patients of butorphanol group 245.71±30.92 min,(p = 0.046). The need for rescue analgesia was significantly earlier in Group II, ie at 211.09±20.74 min, while at 256.32±24.40 min in group I.
Conclusion: Clonidine and butorphanol are good adjuvants to hyperbaric bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia. Clonidine provides longer duration of sensory and motor blockade and prolonged duration of postoperative analgesia compared to butorphanol.

The study investigated the demographic determinants of health care-seeking behaviour among women in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State. Five research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. Descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted. The sample size of 1,200 women was selected using multi-stage sampling procedures. Self-structured instrument, whose reliability was determined using Cronbach Alpha Correlation was used for data collection. The study utilized statistical tools of Mean Standard deviation and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to analyze the data. The result of the study showed that the respondents had good health care-seeking behaviour in terms of action on perceived signs and symptoms ( = 2.67 ± 0.89), test-seeking ( = 2.93 ± 0.94), choice of health care services ( = 3.36 ± 0.76), treatment-seeking ( = 2.86 ± 0.95), and treatment- adherence ( = 2.87 ± 0.85). The findings also showed that demographic factors of age (F=8.767, P < 0.000), occupation (F = 19.304, P < 0.000), educational level (F = 3.019, P < 0.029), and income level (F = 4.680, P < 0.003) were significant determinants of health care seeking behaviour of the women. The study recommended among others that women should be empowered more through educational and employment opportunities

Keywords: Demographic Factors, and Health Care-Seeking Behaviour.

HEALTH EXPENDITURE, EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NIGERIA
Authors: Ojo T.  J. , Odusanya I. A. , Ojo S. I.
Published: January 2022

Education and health are crucial ends in and of themselves, as well as important development objectives. Both are critical to the broader idea of expanded human strength, which is at the centre of the notion of growth. The research looks at Nigeria's health expenditure, education, and economic growth, spanning from 1981 to 2019. This paper used principal component analysis (PCA) to calculate variables such as the education expenditure index (EEI) and the health expenditure index (HEI), as well as other explanatory factors such as inflation (INF), life expectancy rate (LER), maternal mortality rate (MMR), and GDP growth. The dependent variable is real GDP. The study used an error correction model (ECM) as an estimating approach. According to the empirical data, government disbursement on education and health has a positive and considerable impact on economic growth and interaction. The results further demonstrate the absence of serial autocorrelation. Furthermore, the report suggests that the government enhance current health and education facilities to encourage economic growth. However, because of the availability and improved health and education services in Nigeria, this policy will decline the appalling state and quality of education and health care, resulting in fewer Nigerians fleeing the country searching for better health and education facilities.
A Sociological Approach to the Adolescent Pregnancy in the Low-Income Population of the Gran Mendoza, Argentina
Authors: AGUILO Juan Carlos
Published: January 2022

Our purpose is to contribute to the knowledge of the incidence of teenage pregnancy in the low-income sector of the Gran Mendoza by understanding them as part of their life strategies within the framework of their conditions of existence strongly impacted for low job opportunities and a reactive educational system. Pregnancy and motherhood in these adolescents are problematized considering that their incidence remains high compared to that for women of other social classes. We had chosen to know their opinions regarding their sexual and reproductive practices that drive them, or not, to the pregnancy and maternity. We think it is possible to argue that, in extreme conditions of social exclusion, with a lack of familiar support and limited cultural capital, teenagers tend to have sexual practices that drive them not to avoid pregnancies strongly influenced by traditional ideas regarding the role of women in society. On the contrary, when teenage women have bigger levels of cultural capital, dispute the reiterate tendencies of the traditional “class habitus” and report educational and professional life projects.
