Evaluation of Left Ventricular Remodelling in Patients with Anterior Myocardial Infarction According to Sphericity and Conicity Indices and their Association with Left Ventricular Function
Authors: Shaheed Fatima Adnan , Abbood Ahlam Kadhim , Nassir Shokry Faaz
Published: October 2023

Background:

Following cardiac damage, a complex process known as left ventricular adverse remodelling occurs, which is characterized by alterations in the left ventricle (LV)'s structure, form, and function. The study aims at assessing the significance of the LV sphericity index in quantifying LV geometric alterations, as well as the conicity index's significance in recognizing regional variations in LV geometry and evaluating its relation to the heart's systolic and diastolic function.

Methods and Methods: A total of 50 individuals with anterior myocardial infarction (MI) participates in this cross-sectional study. Sphericity (SI) and conicity indices (CI) are calculated using the ratios of the short axis and long axis, and the apical to short LV axis, respectively. Then measurements of the LV's systolic and diastolic functioning are done.

Results: The sphericity index and systolic parameters display a statistically significant negative correlation (P<0.05). The conicity index and systolic parameters show a statistically non-significant negative correlation (P>0.05).

The relation between CI and SI with LV diastolic parameters reveal a positive correlation, but it was statistically non-significant (p>0.05). Only the left atrial volume index (LAVI) was statistically significant with SI (p<0.05).

Conclusion: This study concludes that LV indices are a simple, non-invasive measure of LV remodelling, whether locally by CI or globally by SI, and can reflect the LV's systolic and diastolic performance based on correlation studies.

Published: October 2023

Background: The quest for improving the efficiency of solar cells has garnered considerable attention in numerous scientific investigations. One promising approach involves utilizing plasmons generated by metal nanoparticles to enhance the performance of photovoltaic solar cells.

Materials and Methods: High-purity gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and a combination of both were synthesized using pulsed laser ablation in distilled water. Subsequently, these nanoparticles were deposited onto silicon (Si) substrates and pre-existing Si homo-junction photovoltaic cells.

Results: The optical analysis of the prepared nanoparticle suspension revealed distinct plasmonic bands located at approximately 400 nm and 523 nm wavelengths for AgNPs and AuNPs, respectively. In the case of the AuNPs:AgNPs mixture, two plasmonic bands were observed, corresponding to the presence of both types of metal nanoparticles. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the deposited nanoparticle samples on Si wafers demonstrated a polycrystalline structure for all samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging displayed uniformly distributed spherical Au nanoparticles on the substrate, while AgNPs exhibited some aggregations.

Conclusion: The photovoltaic (PV) solar cells demonstrated an enhanced performance, attributed to the ability of the plasmonic nanoparticles to facilitate increased light absorption or enhance surface conductivity. The combination of silver and gold particles holds promise for solar surface coating, further optimizing the cells to capture a greater amount of solar radiation within their plasmon peaks. This study highlights the potential of plasmonic nanoparticles to enhance the efficiency of previously prepared PV cells.

Authors: Gunasekare U.L.T P. , Pramudika S.H.
Published: October 2023

This study focused on the impact of Hard Project Management Practices (HPMPs) and Team Motivation (TM) for successful Project Performance (PP). Further, it examines how TM mediates the link between HPMPs and PP. A qualitative data collection section sought to find challenges faced by the construction industry in Sri Lanka while exploring the association of HPMPs and PP further. Both public and private sector 131 construction projects were selected as the sample by way of the convenience sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the managerial capacity officers. Accordingly, this research found that there is a slight impact of HPMPs on PP. But when it combines with TM the PP is boosted significantly. The mediator analysis proved that even though the construction projects have sound HPMPs, those will impair project performance if they would not consider team motivation properly. And, there are many other variables outside this model that are discussed under qualitative analysis, especially the factors/challenges which are unforeseen in the external environment.

Este estudo analisa as possibilidades da Abordagem da Linguística de Corpus para desenvolver material suplementar para ensinar vocabulário. A motivação para esta pesquisa vem da compreensão de que o inglês é uma disciplina importante e pode fazer a diferença na vida dos estudantes. Ele se concentra no vocabulário porque é um dos componentes mais essenciais da comunicação. Alguns estudos foram feitos neste
campo, mas menos deles trabalharam com a mesma coorte. Utilizando pesquisa de métodos mistos, este estudo visa identificar até que ponto o material baseado em corpus tem impacto no vocabulário
processo de ensino/aprendizagem para alunos de escolas públicas no Brasil em um ambiente de baixa tecnologia. Utiliza um corpus pequeno e especializado
composto por letras de músicas pop. Um pré e pós-teste são utilizados como principal procedimento de coleta de dados para identificar o crescimento do vocabulário. Os principais resultados da investigação mostram que os alunos melhoraram o seu conhecimento de vocabulário em 38% desde o pré-teste. Palavras de alta frequência são mais facilmente reconhecidas pelos aprendizes, considerando que quanto mais encontros eles tiverem com novas palavras melhor irão retê-las. Esses resultados também provam que o foco no vocabulário é importante, pois as palavras praticadas em vários exercícios são retidas melhor do que as palavras inferidas. Como os materiais baseados em corpus revelam
dados sobre a língua (frequência, colocações, etc.), isso aponta a CL como uma estratégia importante para manter o foco no vocabulário. Isso permite direcionar estratégias que visam minimizar as deficiências na aprendizagem de línguas pelos alunos, especialmente nas escolas públicas do Brasil onde as línguas estrangeiras não ocupam um lugar privilegiado.

Dentre os fatores que merecem mais atenção por parte das políticas públicas no Brasil estão o fomento de estratégias que consigam aumentar o número de empregos e a renda, reduza a pobreza e a desigualdade social e garanta a segurança alimentar no campo e centros urbanos. O objetivo da pesquisa foi buscar informações sobre a dinâmica do agronegócio maranhense entre os anos de 2000 a 2020. Este estudo foi realizado com a utilização de dados secundários coletados a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas (livros e artigos científicos) e de pesquisas documentais em arquivos públicos e fontes estatísticas (documentos oficiais, relatórios, tabelas estatísticas etc.) referentes aos anos de 2000 a 2020. A partir dos dados, foi possível observar que a cana-de-açúcar dominou o agronegócio do Maranhão durante grande parte das últimas duas décadas, mas atualmente a soja é a cultura que mais é produzida no Estado. Observa-se que a produção agrícola e pecuária estão se concentrando nas mesorregiões Sul e Oeste Maranhense, principalmente com a produção de soja, algodão e gado bovino. As exportações do agronegócio maranhense se concentram no complexo soja e as importações nos adubos e fertilizantes. O maior gargalo encontrado foi a falta de assistência técnica para os produtores, consequentemente, traz atrazo tecnológico na produção e na comercialização dos produtos, principalmente para o agricultor familiar que atualmente representam 85% dos estabelecimentos rurais maranhenses.

O atual cenário da agricultura tem exigido novas formas de atuação dos produtores rurais, seja desenvolvendo novos empreendimentos ou buscando adotar novas formas de gestão para superar as transformações na agricultura. Dessa forma, os indivíduos que decidem tornar-se empreendedores precisam de habilidades tais como planejamento, formação de equipe, liderança, negociação, resolução de problemas, entre outras. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho consiste numa proposta de plano de negócios de uma empresa de pequeno porte no setor de prestação de serviços. A Agrofinace é um software de gestão financeira agrícola completo e fácil de usar desenvolvido por gestores do agronegócio objetivando integrar o campo ao escritório. Assim, pode-se analisar que o plano de negócios pode ser utilizado como uma ferramenta eficiente de implementação da estratégia da empresa, tornando-se um instrumento essencial de gestão que, certamente, ajudará o empreendedor a obter o sucesso esperado ou mostrará ao mesmo empreendedor que o momento atual não é adequado para o negócio que ele deseja, evitando assim decepções futuras. Desse modo, a metodologia base escolhida para a elaboração do plano de negócios foi a do SEBRAE (2013), pois concluiu-se que assim seria possível não só observar minuciosamente o conceito do negócio e o setor em que se insere, bem como determinar de maneira mais estruturada o plano organizacional, operacional e financeiro para sua implementação e execução.

The present review discuss various extraction methods used in obtaining bioactive compounds from medicinal plants. It defines key terms like "medicinal plant," "menstruum," and "marc." The choice of solvent (menstruum) depends on plant type and bioactive compounds. Polar solvents (e.g., water) are used for polar compounds, while nonpolar solvents (e.g., hexane) are used for nonpolar compounds. Solvents are categorized by polarity from least polar (n-hexane) to most polar (water). Different extraction methods are detailed, including infusion, decoction, percolation, maceration, Soxhlet extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and ultrasound-assisted extraction. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. The abstract covers the properties and applications of different solvents, such as water, alcohol, chloroform, ether, and ionic liquids. Factors like selectivity, safety, cost, reactivity, and recovery are important in selecting solvents. The abstract concludes by discussing the advantages and disadvantages of different extraction methods, including hydro distillation. It emphasizes the importance of choosing the right method based on the nature of the plant material and desired compounds.

Authors: Salouhina N. I. , Nodel M. R. , Tolmacheva V. A.
Published: October 2023

The main treatment for cervical dystonia (CD) is botulinum toxin type A (BTA) injections, but several long-term studies have found that between 19-46% of patients discontinue treatment. Anxiety and depression play a signi fi cant role in reducing the quality of life in patients with CD, according to previous surveys.

Aim: to assess the dynamics of CD symptom severity, emotional disturbance, and quality of life in patients under different treatment methods.

Material and methods. 61 patients with CD, 16 (26%) men and 45 (74%) women, age 50 [40; 59] years, duration of illness 4 [2; 7] years, age at onset 44 [34; 54] years, were studied. Changes in motor and aff ective disturbances, quality of life in patients with CD were assessed after 2 and 4 months in the context of diff erent treatment methods — BTA monotherapy, antidepressant (AD), combined therapy (AD + AD).

Results. Combination therapy (BT + AD) was shown to be superior to BTA monotherapy in long-term follow-up of patients in terms of correction of depression, anxiety, integrative assessment of quality of life and severity of dystonia. After 4 months of treatment, the (BT + AD) subgroup maintained the positive trend achieved in dystonia severity (p < 0.001). At the end of the follow-up period in the BT group, the positive eff ect of therapy had regressed to baseline levels of dystonia severity.

Conclusion. To achieve a sustained therapeutic response in patients with CD, diagnosis and appropriate correction of emotional disturbances is necessary. The potential effi cacy of antidepressants in the treatment of motor and sensory symptoms of CD requires further investigation.

Rationale. Walking and balance disorders, modi fi ed foot muscles kinematics and walking stereotypes are typical for the patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).Objective. To assess the biomechanical parameters of the feet in MS patients with diff erent neurological status during walking.Material and methods. Data analysis of 102 patients with relapsing-remitting MS was carried out for two groups depending on the value of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Plantar pressure distribution was measured on with the pedographic platform emed, novel gmbh, Munich, Germany, using a “fi rst step” protocol.Results and conclusion. Loading of the heel, the area of central metatarsal heads is decreased and loading of the toes is increased during walking in MS patients. Diff erences were found for the spreading coeffi cient (the ratio of the width to the length of the foot), the dynamic width of the foot in patients with an EDSS ≥ 4 is signi fi cantly less in the instep, in the middle and in the narrowest parts of the foot, which leads to the decrease of the contact area. It has been shown that patients with MS who are mobile or walk without assistance are more likely to have pes cavus foot compared to MS patients with minor impairments. The load of the medial side of the foot is greater than the lateral side, which indicates the predominance of the valgus foot. The pronation-supination index is signi fi cantly higher in the patients with moderate impairments in toe-off phase. Evaluation of foot deformity based on the measurement of biomechanical parameters of plantar pressure distribution makes it possible to plan the treatment and rehabilitation tactics in MS patients.

In this paper, we introduce a new method to calibrate and verify the reliability of core data and well logs acquired in spatially complex rocks. The method is based on the numerical simulation of well logs to reproduce the effects of borehole environmental conditions and instrument physics on the measurements. Additionally, high-resolution (HR) core data combined with rock typing and multiwell measurement analysis techniques enable the construction of multilayer formation models. We document the successful application of the new core-well-log calibration method to two wells penetrating a clastic formation in the North Sea. While the numerically simulated well logs match the available borehole measurements in the first well, large measurement discrepancies were observed in the second well. Normalization of nuclear logs in the second well based on core data and numerically simulated well logs improved the assessment of bulk density and neutron porosity by 5% and 20%, respectively, while unnormalized nuclear logs overestimated formation porosity. Multiwell comparisons of well logs also confirmed that measurement accuracy was compromised. The problem with data quality was attributed to a probable inadequate tool calibration, although the log header did not indicate any notable issues. Additionally, numerical simulations of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity logs indicated a prominent depth mismatch among well logs. The numerical simulation of well logs based on HR core data enables the detection of inconsistent, noisy, and inaccurate measurements, including cases of abnormal borehole environmental corrections causing biases in petrophysical interpretations.

A Multistrategy Cognitive Diagnosis Model Incorporating Item Response Times Based on Strategy Selection Theories
Authors: Wei Junhuan , Luo Liufen , Cai Yan , Tu Dongbo
Published: October 2023

Response times (RTs) facilitate the quantification of underlying cognitive processes in problem-solving behavior. To provide more comprehensive diagnostic feedback on strategy selection and attribute profiles with multistrategy cognitive diagnosis model (CDM) and utilize additional information for item RTs, this study develops a multistrategy cognitive diagnosis modeling framework combined with RTs. The proposed model integrates individual response accuracy and RT into a unified framework to define strategy selection and make it closer to the individual’s strategy selection process. Simulation studies demonstrated that the proposed model had reasonable parameter recovery and attribute classification accuracy and outperformed the existing multistrategy CDMs and single-strategy CDMs in terms of performance. Empirical results further illustrated the practical application and the advantages of the proposed model.

Kehamilan merupakan suatu kondisi terjadinya adaptasi baik dari segi fisik, fisiologis maupun psikologis dalam tubuh wanita. Perubahan tersebut dapat menyebabkan keluhan musculoskeletal salah satunya yaitu nyeri punggung. Berdasarkan letaknya, nyeri punggung dibagi menjadi nyeri punggung bawah (low back pain atau LBP), nyeri pergelangan panggul (pelvic girdle pain atau PGP dan nyeri kombinasi keduanya (lumbo pelvic pain atau LPP). Mengetahui prevalensi keluhan nyeri punggung di suatu fasilitas kesehatan diperlukan sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dan tenaga kesehatan terhadap keluhan ini, sehingga dapat berperan aktif dalam usaha pencegahan dan pengobatan terhadap ibu hamil yang mengalami keluhan serta dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup ibu hamil baik sebelum maupun setelah melahirkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui prevalensi dari keluhan nyeri punggung pada ibu hamil di Puskesmas Kartasura, Sukoharjo, Jawa Tengah. Jenis metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian kuantitatif berupa observasional deskritif.

Authors: Mahayati Dewi Suci
Published: October 2023

Penatalaksanaan pasien ensefalitis memerlukan kerjasama dari Tim Rehabilitasi untuk segera mengembalikan fungsi serta mengurangi kecacatan dan komplikasi, berupa dekubitus, penurunan massa otot dan kekuatan otot, gangguan mobilitas, dan kontraktur akibat spastisitas. Tujuan dari program rehabilitasi adalah untuk meningkatkan keterampilan motorik, koordinasi, mobilisasi dan gangguan lain yang ada untuk mencapai kemandirian dalam kehidupan sehari-hari (ADL). Fisioterapi sebagai bagian dari program rehabilitasi dapat memberikan latihan core stability, fasilitasi dan stimulasi gerak ekstremitas atas dan bawah, latihan keseimbangan dan latihan mobilisasi. Latihan penguatan dilakukan dengan teknik fasilitasi dan stimulasi aktif menggunakan berat badan pasien sebagai beban pelatihan. Latihan penguatan dapat menurunkan spastisitas dengan cara memperkuat otot antagonis, yang akan menghambat reaksi otot spastis. Latihan juga dimaksudkan untuk mengurangi spastisitas. Spastisitas terlihat seperti otot yang kuat, tetapi tanpa konektivitas otak-ke-otot, otot yang spastis tetap menjadi otot yang lemah. Setelah enam bulan program fisioterapi, Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) dievaluasi untuk ekstremitas atas kanan 3/5, ekstremitas atas kiri 5/5, ekstremitas bawah kanan 1/5, ekstremitas bawah kiri 2/5. Ekstremitas atas kanan skala Ashworth 1/4, ekstremitas bawah kanan 2/4, ekstremitas bawah kiri 1/4. Clonus berkurang, pasien dapat berdiri dengan dukungan maksimal tanpa klonus selama 10 menit. Trunk Impairment Scale 12/23 dan Indeks Barthel 65/100. Mobilisasi pasien mampu duduk dengan bantuan minimal yaitu stabilisasi pada panggul, duduk ke berdiri dengan bantuan sedang, yaitu stabilisasi knee bilateral, dan berdiri dengan stabilisasi pada knee dan pelvic selama 10 menit. Laporan kasus ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun fisioterapi dengan metode latihan penguatan dan teknik penguatan core stability, dapat meningkatkan keterampilan motorik yang selanjutnya akan meningkatkan kemandirian pasien dalam melakukan aktivitas fungsional dan ADL.Â
