Authors: Narangoda Kanchana Sajeeva , Park Joon Soo , Tennant Marc , Kruger Estie
Published: December 2022

Background / Objectives: The Sri Lankan healthcare system consists of public and private sectors. In terms of capacity, the public sector dominates the provision of care across curative, preventive and outpatient care. The private sector, too, has grown rapidly in recent years but was mainly confined to providing curative, diagnostic and outpatient care. Since, there are little or no studies conducted in Sri Lanka thus far, the objective of this study was to understand the current approaches adopted in determining the base of healthcare payments. This study also investigated the economic and administrative processes involved in determining the level of healthcare pricing in the private sector healthcare industry in Sri Lanka.
Method: This qualitative study investigated the rationales adopted in healthcare pricing by healthcare administrators in the private sector. Structured interviews were conducted and thematic analysis were applied to interview data collected and analysis.
Results: Five key themes, which influenced pricing, were identified from the interviews. These themes included influence from medical practitioners/clinicians, competitor pricing, price adjustment/profit margins, consumables and staff, and economic demands. There was a consensus that competitor pricing and seniority of the practicing clinicians had an impact on pricing. 
Conclusion: This study revealed that the base of payment in private sector healthcare is fee for service (FFS). Adopting popular international approaches such as Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGS) was not shown in this study. Further, it was evident that the Sri Lankan private healthcare sector administrators unilaterally fix pricing based on the identified key themes without adequately consulting the healthcare payers and users.

Authors: Oliveira Koga Fabiana , de Araújo Rangni Rosemeire
Published: December 2022

O talento pode ser percebido em diferentes pessoas e em momentos históricos distintos; seu desenvolvimento depende das condições sociais e de políticas públicas. A legislação brasileira reconhece e garante os direitos à identificação e à suplementação daqueles que forem identificados com altas habilidades ou superdotação. Assim, objetivou-se relatar a aplicação do Modelo de Enriquecimento e a identificação do talento, ocorridas em uma escola particular do interior do estado de São Paulo, com educandos do 5º ano do ensino fundamental. Participaram 26 alunos, de ambos os sexos, e duas professoras – uma pedagoga e uma educadora musical. Foram desenvolvidos o estudo e a elaboração de um livro e de um espetáculo teatral, a partir da obra O Fantasma da Ópera. Eles ocorreram em três etapas, respaldados no Modelo de Enriquecimento (Tipos I, II, III), de Joseph S. Renzulli. A análise qualitativa foi realizada e o relato dos resultados se deu de modo descritivo. Os resultados foram bem-sucedidos com a apresentação do livro construído pelos alunos, com a apresentação teatral de O Fantasma da Ópera para o público (escola e familiares) e com a descoberta de 12 alunos com indicadores de talento. Concluiu-se que é possível realizar o Modelo de Enriquecimento, mesmo em um currículo fechado ou apostilado, mas, para tanto, tornam-se imprescindíveis a formação dos professores, um processo colaborativo de trabalho e o apoio da equipe gestora.

Published: December 2022

Mangrove forest is one of the essential components of natural ecosystems. Mangrove forests have various essential functions, such as holding land sediments, tsunamis, and ocean waves, storing large amounts of carbon, and providing other benefits for coastal and land areas. However, the conversion of mangrove forests has reduced and degraded mangrove land. Therefore, monitoring and conserving land changes in mangrove forests must be carried out to determine the effects on land ecosystems and coastal areas. Remote sensing has the spatial ability to analyze changes in mangrove ecosystems in coastal regions temporally because it has the advantage of using satellite imagery data. This study compares the classification method using multiple image sensors to analyze land cover changes in mangrove forests in North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, in 2015-2020. The technique used in this research is the classification of Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) and the variety of Maximum Likelihood. The results of Sentinel-1 image analysis using Maximum Likelihood provide information on changes in mangrove land cover during 2015-2020 with an area of 449.17 (Ha), while the results of Landsat 8 analysis using (OBIA) provide information on changes in mangrove land cover 596 (Ha).Keywords: Optics, Radar, OBIA, Maximum Likelihood, mangrove

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this research is to describe the challenges faced by high school English teachers in teaching and evaluating during online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research. The researcher used observation, an open-ended questionnaire, and an interview to collect the data. The result showed that the teachers face some challenges in teaching speaking and assessing speaking in online learning. First, limited or shorter duration of teaching causes less speaking practice in the process of teaching and learning. Second, limited access to the online platform, this condition happened since not all students have sufficient internet connections during online learning. Third, less learning motivation from the students. Fourth, limited speaking performance activities, such as dialogue, role play, and other performing activities, are difficult to do in online learning. Those problems forced teachers to be innovative in redesigning teaching activities and authentic assessments for students’ speaking proficiency.

La enfermería ocupa un lugar clave en el sistema sanitario, en tanto favorece a la salud, a la seguridad física y al desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas, físicas o emocionales de las personas. Su ubicación dentro de la cadena de cuidado sanitario la ha colocado en una relación asistencial con el campo médico, mediante relaciones jerárquicas y de dominación doblemente condicionadas: de subordinación respecto al discurso médico hegemónico, y de género al consolidarse como un sector feminizado. La pandemia de la covid-19 abre una serie de interrogantes sobre los tipos de alternativas que afectan el trabajo de cuidado brindado por la enfermería, y que cobra forma en los distintos escenarios regionales. Las demandas generadas por la crisis sanitaria impactaron en la provincia de La Pampa con singularidad, especialmente porque la región manifestaba, con anterioridad a la pandemia, problemas estructurales en la formación especializada y profesionalizada y la satisfacción de éstas es parte de un proceso de acomodación, de negociación y de tensión al interior del sector, que impactó en sus condiciones de trabajo.

MEMBACA KITAB AL-MUSTASHFA: RESPON TERHADAP KASUS MURTAD DAN KEBEBASAN BERAGAMA DI INDONESIA
Authors: Abd.Haris
Published: December 2022

The issue of apostasy in Indonesia is still controversial and widely discussed by the public. Leaving the Islamic religion or moving from one religion to another is closely related to religious law and freedom of religion. Today, cases of apostasy are rife among artists for various reasons. Thus, a question arises, does their status make fun of religion? Or blasphemy against religion? Or part of human rights? This paper seriously reviews the case of changing religions using the Ushul Fiqh approach, especially the work of Al-Mustashfa al-Ghazali. This type of research is library research, and looks at phenomena and facts that occur among artists as figures and idols for Indonesian people. From the analysis conducted, this paper concludes that; first, apostates move from Islam and return to disbelief; secondly theologically that killing apostates is not the right solution and is not in accordance with Islamic norms as a religion of rahmatan lil 'alamin. Third, the verses and hadiths do not indicate any killings, except in the context of the verses whereby the perpetrators of apostasy had the aim/intention to be enemies of Islam. Fourth, artists who apostate must be subject to sanctions according to the rules and regulations that apply in Indonesia

Authors: Sitti Rabiatul Wahdaniyah Herman  , Supriadi Takwim
Published: December 2022

The Kamase-mase philosophy is the local wisdom of the Kajang Tribe which shows a form of morality in regulating the joints of their lives, including policy governance in controlling space utilization. The Kajang people are taught to live simply and preserve the natural surroundings by being honest, curbing lust, not harming others, and not being materialistic. Local wisdom as part of the practical rationale in spatial planning policies that complement scientific knowledge should be considered as a local potential that can be collaborated and communicated. The context of spatial planning policy is not only physical, but also regulates human behavior as the main factor that has an influence on space. Spatial planning policies regulate the form of social structures and interactions between community groups, referred to as governance which includes the authority of customary leaders, rules, sanctions, and social fines to form a value system that regulates the ethics of evaluating good and bad and the right and wrong of a thought and action. The Kamase-mase philosophy becomes an ideology in living life and affects the treatment of space, where space is used according to needs, so that all aspects of life such as food, clothing, gardens, rice fields, and houses are simple or not excessive, including the use of forest resources.

Artikel ini menjelaskan tentang proses CEDAR (Community Engaging Difference and Religion) sebuah lembaga swadaya masyarakat untuk menyebarkan ide dan praktek tentang bagaimana hidup bersama yang lain. CEDAR telah berkembang sejak awal dibentuk pada tahun 2003 dengan nama International Summer School on Religion and Public Life (ISSRPL). Namanya berubah menjadi CEDAR pada tahun 2013 dan sejak itu terus mengadakan program pelatihan di banyak negara, antara lain Inggris Raya, Bosnia, Bugaria, Israel, Amerika Serikat, Kenya dan Indonesia. Artikel ini dimulai dengan testimoni dari peserta program CEDAR yang dilakukan di berbagai negara itu selama dua minggu untuk menggambarkan perubahan yang kemudian mereka alami terutama pandangan dan sikapnya terhadap mereka yang memiliki keyakinan yang berbeda.  Dari penagalaman program di Bosnia, Krosia dan Israel misalnya kami belajar bahwa perbedaan agama atau antara pemeluk agama dan sekuler sebagai sumber utama konflik namun juga perbedaan suku, golongan dan orientasi seksual juga merupakan sumber ketegangan, intoleransi dan saling curiga satu sama lain. Oleh karenanya, kami memasukkan berbagai faktor tersebut ke dalam program kami. Berbagi pengalaman adalah tempat terbaik untukmemahami perbedaan dibandingkan pelatihan akademis. Penekanan berbagi pengalaman berimplikasi kepada model pelatihan dimana kegiatan akademis dikurangi dan dan lebih diperbanyak kegiatan pembelajaran non akademis misalnya mengerjakan proyek bersama. Artikel ini juga menjelaskan tentang peran ahli antropologi baik dalam teori maupun iplementasinya dalam kurikulum dan kegiatan program CEDAR

Published: December 2022

Background

No reliable model can currently be used for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) occurrence in patients with diabetes. We developed and validated a model predicting the occurrence of CAD in these patients.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled patients with diabetes at Henan Provincial People's Hospital between 1 January 2020 and 10 June 2020, and collected data including demographics, physical examination results, laboratory test results, and diagnostic information from their medical records. The training set included patients (n = 1152) enrolled before 15 May 2020, and the validation set included the remaining patients (n = 238). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed in the training set to develop a predictive model, which were visualized using a nomogram. The model's performance was assessed by area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) and Brier scores for both data sets.

Results

Sex, diabetes duration, low-density lipoprotein, creatinine, high-density lipoprotein, hypertension, and heart rate were CAD predictors in diabetes patients. The model's AUC and Brier score were 0.753 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.727–0.778] and 0.152, respectively, and 0.738 (95% CI 0.678–0.793) and 0.172, respectively, in the training and validation sets, respectively.

Conclusions

Our model demonstrated favourable performance; thus, it can effectively predict CAD occurrence in diabetes patients.

Background

The impact of sacubitril–valsartan on heart failure (HF) patients with preserved ejection fractions (HFpEF) is uncertain. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to explore the clinical advantages and safety of sacubitril–valsartan in patients with HFpEF.

Methods

PubMed and Web of Science were searched without any restrictions from inception to 8 May 2022 to identify valuable articles. The studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed.

Results

Four trials, with a total of 7008 patients were included. Compared with valsartan, sacubitril–valsartan significantly reduced the rate of HF decompensation and of the combined end point of HF decompensation and all-cause mortality. All-cause mortality, New York Heart Association class improvement and rate of hyperkalemia were not significantly different between the two groups. Regarding safety, sacubitril–valsartan was more likely to increase the risk of hypotension.

Conclusion

This meta-analysis suggests that sacubitril–valsartan may be an effective strategy to reduce HF decompensation events in patients with HFpEF.

Evaluation of the Vranov Reservoir Functions
Authors: Oppeltová Petra , Priehoda Tomáš
Published: December 2022

Study area – Vranov reservoir on the river Dyje lies in the South Moravian region in the Czech Republic. A multipurpose reservoir, Vranov, is a significant hydraulic structure whose primary purpose is water retention, including managing flood conditions. The reservoir itself and its surroundings are intensively used for recreation, and a hydroelectric power station has also been built there. In 1982, the reservoir began to be used as a source of drinking water. The objective of this study is to elaborate hydrological data – daily total precipitation and daily surface runoff – from 1981 to 2019, evaluate the influence of the Vranov water work, focusing on the hydrological extremes, and evaluate individual functions of this reservoir.

The results showed an increase in the number of days of hydrological drought. The influence of the dam as a flood protection element is significant – in summer 2006, a peak of flow rate value of 551 m3 s−1 was transformed to 234 m3 s−1.

The reservoir itself and its catchment area have multipurpose usage. Problems may arise in connection with extreme hydrological events when the reservoir cannot perform all its functions at the same time as it does at normal water levels and runoffs. Whether in times of flood or drought, it is necessary to resort to emergency manipulation of the reservoir and choose which of the purposes of the reservoir will be primary at that time.
Static Water Vapor Sorption Properties of Honey
Authors: Arslan Kubra , Turhan Mahir
Published: December 2022

Static sorption properties of pine honey (PH) and citrus honey (CH) were studied at 20, 30 and 40°C. Yeast formation was observed on the surface of honeys at water activity (aw)>0.7 at all temperatures. Visible yeast formation (YF) took place earlier in PH than in CH under the same conditions due to its characteristic higher pH and lower monosacchride content. The temperature was insignificantly effective on YF (p>0.05). The honeys exhibited a sorption isotherm (SI) in the shape of a “J”. Their SIs exhibited desorption and adsorption at aw<0.7 and aw>0.7, respectively and the desorption part was almost linear. Aw=0.7 emerged as a border between the absence and presence of YF and between the desorption and adsorption. The SIs of honeys were insignificantly affected by temperature (p>0.05). PH had a significantly lower SI than that of CH (p≤0.05) due to its characteristic lower monosacchride content. GAB equation exhibited a good fit to the honeys' SIs. Sorption heat vs equilibrium moisture content (EMC) revealed monolayer, multilayer and loosely bound free water regions in the SIs of PH and CH.

Published: December 2022

The photocatalytic process of phenol oxidation and Cr(VI) reduction in the presence of nano-silica modified titania was carried out. The activity of composites was tested using two different light sources. The photocatalysts with 10% of nanosilica showed the highest activity. The calcination temperature (200–800 oC) significantly determined the sensitivity of the obtained materials to the light source used. Photocatalysts alternately adsorbed and desorbed Cr(VI) ions from the reaction mixture during irradiation. In the one-component mixture, complete oxidation of phenol was observed using material calcined at 650 oC, after 3 h of UV-VIS irradiation. In the reaction mixture of Cr(VI) and phenol, the highest activity was demonstrated by photocatalyst calcined at 300 oC. The concentration of phenol decreased in proportion to the decrease of chromium ions. The obtained titania-silica composites showed oxidizing properties towards phenol and reductive properties toward Cr(VI) ions.

The effect of process conditions on the co-processing technology of crude oil and coal was investigated. Crude oil/coal matching performance, swelling degree, crude oil/coal slurry viscosity-temperature characteristics and process parameters were obtained via the laboratory scale and pilot scale studies. The optimum reaction temperature of the co-processing was 445~450 oC, the pressure was 19 MPa, the catalyst addition was 3 wt.%, the reaction time was 2 h, and the ratio of hydrogen to crude oil was 1500 (V/V). Furthermore, the co-processing technology including catalyst and corresponding equipment based on the slurry bed hydrogenation were developed. By using this co-processing technology, the feed ratio of crude oil and coal can be 1:1, the coal conversion rate can be over 99%, the light oil (oil and aromatics) yield was over 70%, and the end products were gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, aromatics and LPG. The product quality meets the Euro V standard, whilst aromatics accounted for 48% of the light oil. So it was proved to be feasible to co-refine crude oil and coal at a ratio of 1:1. What’s more, the slurry bed hydrogenation plant and its equipment were tested for long-term operation, and it has been proved that this co-processing technology could be deployed as large-scale industrial application.

Wastewater from the production of meat and bone meal, due to the high load of organic matter and suspended solids, is a significant problem in the process of its treatment. In this work, we examined the method of treating this wastewater using coagulation with hydrogen peroxide and the Fenton process. Treatment variants included the use of variable Fe2+/H2O2 ratios of 1:5–1:30, variable doses of 3–18.0 g/L H2O2, and 5–10 mL/L of coagulant PIX 113. The calculated reduction degrees showed that, regardless of the treatment variant used, the greatest reduction was obtained for turbidity (100%), phosphorus (99%), followed by color (97%), chemical oxygen demand (70%), and Kjeldahl nitrogen (48%). The proposed treatment options can be used as a preliminary stage in treating wastewater from the production of meat and bone meal.
Sampling methods for the concentration parameter and discrete baseline of the Dirichlet Process
Authors: Liu Yang , Nandram Balgobin
Published: December 2022

There are many models in the current statistical literature for making inferences based on samples selected from a finite population. Parametric models may be problematic because statistical inference is sensitive to parametric assumptions. The Dirichlet process (DP) prior is very flexible and determines the complexity of the model. It is indexed by two hyper-parameters: the baseline distribution and concentration parameter. We address two distinct problems in the article. Firstly, we review the current sampling methods for the concentration parameter, which use the continuous baseline distribution. We compare three different methods: the adaptive rejection method, the mixture of Gammas method and the grid method. We also propose a new method based on the ratio of uniforms. Secondly, in practice, some survey responses are known to be discrete. If a continuous distribution is adopted as the baseline distribution, the model is misspecified and standard inference may be invalid. We propose a discrete baseline approach to the DP prior and sample the unobserved responses from the finite population both using a Polya urn scheme and a Multinomial distribution. We applied our discrete baseline approach to a Phytophthora data set.
Parameter estimation of exponentiated exponential distribution under selective ranked set sampling
Authors: Hassan Amal S. , Elshaarawy Rasha S. , Nagy Heba F.
Published: December 2022

Partial ranked set sampling (PRSS) is a cost-effective sampling method. It is a combination of simple random sample (SRS) and ranked set sampling (RSS) designs. The PRSS method allows flexibility for the experimenter in selecting the sample when it is either difficult to rank the units within each set with full confidence or when experimental units are not available. In this article, we introduce and define the likelihood function of any probability distribution under the PRSS scheme. The performance of the maximum likelihood estimators is examined when the available data are assumed to have an exponentiated exponential (EE) distribution via some selective RSS schemes as well as SRS. The suggested ranked schemes include the PRSS, RSS, neoteric RSS (NRSS), and extreme RSS (ERSS). An intensive simulation study was conducted to compare and explore the behaviour of the proposed estimators. The study demonstrated that the maximum likelihood estimators via PRSS, NRSS, ERSS, and RSS schemes are more efficient than the corresponding estimators under SRS. A real data set is presented for illustrative purposes.
The Weibull lifetime model with randomised failure-free time
Authors: Sulewski Piotr , Szymkowiak Magdalena

The paper shows that treating failure-free time in the three-parameter Weibull distribution not a constant, but as a random variable makes the resulting distribution much more flexible at the expense of only one additional parameter.
Missing data estimation based on the chaining technique in survey sampling
Authors: Thakur Narendra Singh , Shukla Diwakar
Published: December 2022

Sample surveys are often affected by missing observations and non-response caused by the respondents’ refusal or unwillingness to provide the requested information or due to their memory failure. In order to substitute the missing data, a procedure called imputation is applied, which uses the available data as a tool for the replacement of the missing values. Two auxiliary variables create a chain which is used to substitute the missing part of the sample. The aim of the paper is to present the application of the Chain-type factor estimator as a means of source imputation for the non-response units in an incomplete sample. The proposed strategies were found to be more efficient and bias-controllable than similar estimation procedures described in the relevant literature. These techniques could also be made nearly unbiased in relation to other selected parametric values. The findings are supported by a numerical study involving the use of a dataset, proving that the proposed techniques outperform other similar ones.
Generalised Lindley shared additive frailty regression model for bivariate survival data
Authors: Pandey Arvind , Hanagal David D. , Tyagi Shikhar
Published: December 2022

Frailty models are the possible choice to counter the problem of the unobserved heterogeneity in individual risks of disease and death. Based on earlier studies, shared frailty models can be utilised in the analysis of bivariate data related to survival times (e.g. matched pairs experiments, twin or family data). In this article, we assume that frailty acts additively to the hazard rate. A new class of shared frailty models based on generalised Lindley distribution is established. By assuming generalised Weibull and generalised log-logistic baseline distributions, we propose a new class of shared frailty models based on the additive hazard rate. We estimate the parameters in these frailty models and use the Bayesian paradigm of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique. Model selection criteria have been applied for the comparison of models. We analyse kidney infection data and suggest the best model.
Effects of imitation and self-imitation practice on L2 pronunciation progress
Authors: Kusz Ewa
Published: December 2022

The major aim of the current study is to verify whether an interdependence between self-imitation practice and L2 pronunciation improvement in the process of second-language acquisition is stronger than traditional imitation tasks. 35 Polish students of Applied Linguistics (at English level B2+) divided into two groups performed imitation and self-imitation exercises in order to improve their L2 pronunciation skills. Three acoustic parameters were considered, namely, articulation rate, speech rate and average syllable duration. The results of the research have revealed that there is a significant interdependence between L2 pronunciation improvement and self-imitation training in terms of speech rate. The outcomes of the research are in line with Ding et al. (2019), De Meo et al.’s (2013), and Felps et al.’s (2009) assertion that the better the match between learners’ voices and their modified equivalents, the more positive impact there is on L2 pronunciation training.
