Authors: Budi Budi
Published: July 2021

The Government of Indonesia is committed to respecting and fulfilling the rights of the child. This is reflected in the government's decision to ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Children through Presidential Decree no. 36 of 1990 which was then followed up by the State Ministry of Women's Empowerment through the Regulation of the Minister of State for Women's Empowerment no. 2 of 2009 concerning the Decent Regency / City Children policy (KLA. In 2015, DKI Jakarta Provincial Government targets to build +60 RPTRA in all areas of DKI Jakarta, and +150 other RPTRA in 2016. In the development of RPTRA, the DKI Government uses tripartite development model by involving private parties and universities. Besides the main function as a center for child friendly activities, RPTRA is also expected to be the center of activity and socializing of the surrounding community. As a companion university in the development of RPTRA Dharma Suci, Bunda Mulia University is obliged to assist and coordinate with RPTRA managers so that RPTRA can function as intended. It is lasts from April 2016-December 2016. The methods undertaken in carrying out activities in RPTRA are training, seminars, and counseling. The existence of universities in the utilization of RPTRA turned out to help the utilization of RPTRA maximally, and also increase the benefits of community service activities that are done because the right target and as needed. Therefore, the government of DKI Jakarta is expected to accelerate and increase the existence of RPTRA, and maintain the involvement of universities in filling the community service activities in RPTRA.

Published: July 2021

The regulation of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Number 196 (2015) on Child Friendly Integrated Public Space (RPTRA) explains the open areas for children that can be a positive medium for interaction and play. The development of RPTRA in DKI Jakarta is not fully funded by the DKI Jakarta government through the Regional Government Expenditure Budget (APBD), but the program also involves companies in the form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In terms of marketing, this synergy program can not only strengthen the organizations/companies involved in the CSR program but indirectly can help the existing RPTRA to more easily introduce the implementation of its activities through branding. The concept of branding for the organization is not an easy thing not only for the surrounding community as RPTRA's board but also for marketers. Social networking sites can be a powerful medium in developing RPTRA as an organizational brand that makes marketing communications have a significant influence on how organizations communicate to their customers. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of training on the role of social media to improve online organization. The method used by observation measurement at two periods (before and after training) and the effectiveness of training provided (using SPSS 22.0). The result of this training is able to explain the increasing effectiveness of the use of social media RPTRA Dharma Suci and utilization of supporting media elements in it such as photos, videos and so on. Suggestions for further research may consider the use of other social medias and observations over a longer time span.

Differenzen beziehungsweise Unterschiedlichkeiten gehören zum Alltag in der Jugendhilfe. Wenn diese Differenzen auch zum Ausdruck gebracht werden können und als Chance für die gemeinsame Arbeit betrachtet werden, können sie sehr produktiv wirken. Eine Haltung der Differenzfreundlichkeit kann davor bewahren, zu handeln, ohne zu verstehen. Der Handlungsdruck und die emotionale Wucht der Fälle in der Jugendhilfe, kann die Entfaltung von Differenzen erschweren. Dies wird an einem Beispiel aus einer Supervision illustriert. Schließlich werden Gelingensbedingungen für differenzverträgliche Fallberatungen in Teams skizziert.

Published: July 2021

What is the social, emotional, and academic impact of attending school remotely rather than in person? We address this issue using survey data collected from N = 6,576 high school students in a large, diverse school district that allowed families to choose either format in fall 2020. Controlling for baseline measures of well-being collected 1 month before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as demographics, high school students who attended school remotely reported lower levels of social, emotional, and academic well-being (effect size [ES] = 0.10, 0.08, and 0.07 standard deviations, respectively) than classmates who attended school in person—differences that were consistent across gender, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status subgroups but significantly wider among 10th–12th graders than ninth graders.

Peter Chew "Logical Science" System For Epidemics(Covid-19)
Authors: chew Peter
Published: July 2021

AbstractBackground: Lessons must be learned from the mistakes of the Covid pandemic. As we have seen, some countries are facing persistently high rates of covid-19 infection, but some countries such as China and South Korea can address the covid-19 problem when their country faces a surge in covid-19. This indicates that some countries facing persistently high infections may have used the wrong strategy, leaving them facing persistently high infections. The study will analyse what have been the main mistake since the Covid pandemic. Then create a system to solve the problem so that it can be used in future pandemic.Methods: Peter Chew’s "Logical Science" system focuses on logical review. The main purpose of the logical review part is to determine whether the guidelines are false. For non-medical treatment guidelines, if the logical review part determines that the guidelines are not false, real-world evidence is needed to determine whether the guidelines are correct. Similar to Mathematical Induction, The goal of the base case is to determine whether the statement (rule, formula, etc.) is false. If the sentence is not false, you need to continue to the second case, the inductive step determines whether the sentence (rule, formula, etc.) is true. Results: Using Peter Chew's "Logical Science" system, we can find wrong guidelines earlier. It can prevent continued practice of wrong guidelines, leading to persistently high infections. As we have seen, Director-general of the Chinese Canter for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), George Gao said that in his view, a big mistake in the United States and Europe is that people do not wear masks. Therefore, early detection of wrong guidelines is important to reduce high infection rates. In fact, the important lesson we can learn from China’s response to the covid-19 surge is that China will not wait for study evidence to apply non-medical prevention, such as Wuhan compulsory wearing masks on January 22, 2020.Conclusions: Prevention is better than cure. Instead of creating new medical treatment or vaccine for viruses or mutant viruses, it is better to create a system to prevent the spread of pandemic viruses. As we have seen, China and South Korea managed to solve the covid-19 surge in their countries without using vaccines in 2020. Therefore, the epidemic prevention system must be able to detect any wrong guidelines faster to prevent the use of the wrong guidelines from causing widespread spread of the virus. For pandemics, waiting for research evidence to implement non-medical prevention strategies is a big mistake, because the prime time to reduce the spread of the virus has been missed. It takes time to generate research evidence, and follow-up peer review also takes time, so the process of peer review research evidence allows the virus to spread widely, and some mutations may occur, making virus prevention more difficult to deal with.

Online News in India: Appraising the Digital News Consumption Landscape in the World’s Largest Democracy (2014-2018)
Authors: Mukerjee Subhayan
Published: July 2021

How do people in the world’s largest democracy consume news online? In this paper, I aim to answer this question by conducting a quantitative assessment of the online news consumption behavior of a large sample of Indian internet users (N ≈ 50,000) over a period of 45 months. In doing so, I contribute to theoretical debates about global news media use, by systematically appraising the prominence and trends in audience share of different types of news sources, thereby shedding light on the digital news consumption landscape of a crucial, but understudied context. Theoretically, I engage with the displacement-complementarity hypothesis and find no evidence that digital-born media have contested the hegemony of legacy media in India online. Next, I investigate the regional-national media divide and find that regional, vernacular media have suffered significant declines in their audience shares over time. This begs the question whether the notion of “polycentrism” – the idea that the Indian media environment is comprised of national and regional media of equivalent weight – is at all applicable online as it is offline. These findings also run counter to claims of “internet vernacularization” that have been touted in the past. Finally, I propose the concept of audience mobility, and use it to identify qualitatively distinct dynamics in how vernacular audiences in India have migrated to national vis-à-vis international outlets. The findings and their implications are discussed in light of contemporary changes in Indian society that is characterized by rapid digitization and increasing literacy.
Pasar Modal Syariah dan Konvensional
Authors: Ramadhona Indah
Published: July 2021

Investasi adalah sesuatu yang harus dilakukan hari ini. Investasi sendiri pada dasarnya adalah pengumpulan uang atau apa yang dapat dibandingkan dengan apa yang merupakan simpanan yang akan digunakan untuk masa depan. Saat ini kebanyakan orang berinvestasi dalam saham. Pasar modal terbagi menjadi 2 yaitu Pasar Modal Syariah dan Konvensional. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa : Pasar modal syariah, efek yang diperdagangkan haruslah dari perusahaan yang menjalankakn kegiatan operasional perusahaannya dengan tidak bertentangan dengan syariat Islam. Sedangkan dalam pasar modal biasa tidak ada aturan yang mengatur tentang kegiatan operasional perusahaan. Landasan hukum pasar modal syariah pada dasarnya adalah Al Quran dan Hadits yang dipertegas dengan Fatwa Dewan Syariah Nasional (DSN) sedangkan pasar modal konvensional adalah Undang-Undang Pasar Modal yaitu UU No. 8 tahun 1995. Dalam pelaksanaan kegiatannya, pasar modal syariah diawasi oleh DSN, sedangkan pasar modal konvensional tidak. Indeks harga saham konvensional antara lain: IHSG, LQ45, Kompas 100 dll, sedangkan Indeks harga saham syariah adalah JII (Jakarta Islamic Index) dan DES ( Daftar Efek Syariah)
Synthetic gas networks for the statistical assessment of low-carbon distribution systems
Authors: Vaccariello Enrico , Trinchero Riccardo , Leone Pierluigi , Stievano Igor S.
Published: July 2021

Most of the simulation studies on energy networks, including gas grids, derive their results from a limited number of network models. The findings of these works are therefore affected by a substantial case-specificity, which partially limits their validity and prevents their generalisation. To overcome this limitation, the present work proposes a novel statistical-based approach for studying distribution gas networks, enabled by a generator of random gas grids with accurate technical designs and structural features. Ten-thousand random and unique networks are produced in three different tests, where increasingly tight constraints are applied to the synthetisation process for a higher control over the generated grids. The experiments verify the accuracy of the tool and highlight that substantial variations can be found in the hydraulic behaviour (pressures and gas velocities) and structural properties (pipe diameters and network volumes) of real-world gas networks. The observed 10,000 gas grids evidence the information gain offered by statistical-based approaches with respect to traditional case-specific studies. The tool opens a broad range of applications which include, but are not limited to, statistical analyses on the distributed injection of alternative gases, like hydrogen, in integrated, low-carbon, energy systems.

A French C-test for language assessment
Authors: Cromheecke Oona , Brysbaert Marc
Published: July 2021

Short language proficiency tests are often needed for low-stakes assessment in education and research, particularly in second language settings. Vocabulary tests are a good candidate; they give rapid, useful estimates of language proficiency. Ideally, several formats are available so that language proficiency can be measured independently of the method used. In the present study, a French C-test was developed and tested on 129 Dutch-French bilingual students. The newly developed C-test was compared to an existing (but not yet validated) C-test and a yes/no vocabulary test (Lextale-FR). In addition, for some students the scores were compared to their French end-of-term marks. Internal consistency of the new test was ICC=.8 and the test correlated r=.7 with the existing C-test. Correlation with end-of-term marks was r=.5 (criterion validity). Correlation with Lextale-FR was lower (r=.3) and Lextale-FR also correlated less with exam marks (r=.3), confirming that the C-test measures skills not covered by Lextale-FR. The C-test is free to use for educational and research purposes.
Revisiting the relationship between implicit racial bias and audiovisual benefit for nonnative-accented speech
Authors: McLaughlin Drew Jordan , Brown Violet Aurora , Carraturo Sita , Van Engen Kristin J.
Published: July 2021

Speech intelligibility is improved when the listener can see the talker in addition to hearing their voice. Notably, however, previous work has suggested that this “audiovisual benefit” for nonnative (i.e., foreign-accented) speech is smaller than the benefit for native speech, an effect that may be partially accounted for by listeners’ implicit racial biases (Yi et al., 2013). In the present study, we sought to replicate these findings in a significantly larger sample of online participants. In a direct replication of Yi et al. (Experiment 1), we found that audiovisual benefit was indeed smaller for nonnative- relative to native-accented speech. However, our results did not support the conclusion that implicit racial biases, as measured with two types of implicit association tasks, were related to these differences in audiovisual benefit for native and nonnative speech. In a second experiment, we addressed a potential confound in the experimental design; specifically, to ensure that the difference in audiovisual benefit was caused by a difference in accent rather than a difference in overall intelligibility, we reversed the overall difficulty of each accent condition by presenting them at different signal-to-noise ratios. Even when native speech was presented at a much more difficult intelligibility level than nonnative speech, audiovisual benefit for nonnative speech remained poorer. In light of these findings, we discuss alternative explanations of reduced audiovisual benefit for nonnative speech, as well as methodological considerations for future work examining the intersection of social, cognitive, and linguistic processes.
Inconsistently consistent: Rationality is not reliable
Authors: Nitsch Felix Jan , Lüpken Luca Marie , Lüschow Nils , Kalenscher Tobias
Published: July 2021

Contemporarily, experimental investigations of revealed preference choice consistency utilize different tasks interchangeably. However, the reliability of choice consistency measurements among (inter-method) and within tasks (test-retest) has not been determined so far. Hence, it is unclear whether estimations of choice consistency fulfill a basic requirement of valid psychometric measures. Further, it is unclear how far results from different studies using different methodologies are comparable. In the study described here, we investigated the reliability of two established and one novel choice consistency tasks in an online-experiment under non-incentivized conditions in the choice domain of social decisions. Our results confidently indicate generally poor inter-method reliability and at best moderate test-retest reliability for the two indices, the Critical Cost Efficiency Index (CCEI) and the Houtman-Maks-Index (HMI), with the CCEI being the tentatively more reliable measure. This is especially concerning, since the full experiment (including test and retest measurement) lasted on average less than 45 minutes. Hence, it appears that estimations of choice consistency do not fulfill a basic requirement of valid psychometric measures. Further, results from different studies using different methodologies should not be compared without caution. Future work should investigate the impact of incentivization as well as the choice domain generality of our results.
Cancer-related cognitive impairment in survivors of adolescent and young adult cancer: A scoping review
Authors: Vizer Lisa , Mikles Sean , Piepmeier Aaron
Published: July 2021

Objectives: Cancer-related cognitive impairments (CRCI) are common after treatment and could have importantrepercussions for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors diagnosed between ages 15 and 39. However, mostresearch focuses on younger or older survivors so we know relatively little about CRCI among AYA cancer survivors.Here we review the research on CRCI among survivors of AYA cancer to determine prevalence, associated factors,and ongoing impact.Methods: In December 2020 we performed a systematic search in MEDLINE, Web of Science, PsycInfo, CINAHL,EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify peer-reviewed English language articlesdescribing original research with survivors of AYA cancer having at least one outcome concerning cognition. We screened 4090 articles and 35 met eligibility criteria. Guided by the PRISMA-ScR Checklist, we extractedinformation, assessed study quality, organized articles by study design, identified factors associated with CRCI, andidentified ongoing impacts of CRCI.Results: Most studies were cross-sectional surveys and interviews with some longitudinal and neurocognitiveassessment studies, one brain imaging study, and one intervention study. Weighted mean prevalence of CRCI was38.4%. Factors associated with CRCI included older age, female gender, higher dose chemotherapy, andcomorbidities. Ongoing impacts of CRCI included impaired role functioning, financial toxicity, and unmet needs.However, the intervention study had encouraging results for improving cognition and functioning.Conclusions: This review of literature on CRCI in survivors of AYA cancer shows a need for longitudinal, imaging,and intervention studies. Digital health technology is recommended for research and intervention implementation.
Reading fluency and statistical learning across modalities and domains: online and offline measures
Authors: Lukács Ágnes , Dobó Dorottya , Szőllősi Ágnes , Kornél Németh , Lukics Krisztina Sára
Published: July 2021

The vulnerability of statistical learning has been demonstrated in reading difficulties in both the visual and acoustic domains. We examined segmentation abilities of adolescents with three different levels of reading fluency in the acoustic verbal and visual nonverbal domains. We applied online target detection tasks, where the extent of learning is reflected in differences between reaction times to predictable versus unpredictable targets. Explicit judgments of well-formedness were also elicited in an offline two-alternative forced choice task. A significant online learning effect was observed in all groups in both domains, and online patterns were similar in participants with low, medium and high reading fluency. On the offline measures, all groups were at chance in the visual, but not the verbal domain. These findings suggest that there is no robust statistical learning impairment associated with reading problems either in the visual or the acoustic domain in adolescents. Results also imply that offline measures may mask learning abilities, and measuring learning online can provide a deeper understanding of the learning process and of its potential deficits.
Smokers’ curiosity for tobacco-related trivia aids memory of tobacco-related information
Authors: Clark Jaydin , Vincent Asia , Wang Xinyi , McGowan Amanda L. , Lydon-Staley David M.
Published: July 2021

Curiosity promotes learning. Two open questions concern the extent to which tobacco smokers exhibit curiosity about smoking-related health information and whether this curiosity can facilitate recall of this information. Participants (n=324 smokers; n=280 non-smokers) performed a Trivia Guessing Task wherein participants guessed the answers to general trivia and smoking-related trivia questions and provided ratings of their curiosity prior to viewing the answers to the questions. A subset of participants (n=121 smokers; n=97 non-smokers) completed a surprise Trivia Memory Task one-week later and answered the previously-viewed questions. Results indicate that smokers are no less curious about smoking-related trivia than they are about general trivia and that curiosity about the answer to smoking-related trivia is associated with more accurate recall of smoking-related trivia answers one week later. Findings suggest that engendering states of curiosity for smoking-related information may facilitate retention of that information in smokers.
Only human: Mental-health difficulties among clinical, counseling, and school psychology faculty and trainees

Published: July 2021

How common are mental-health difficulties among applied psychologists? This question is paradoxically neglected, perhaps because disclosure and discussion of these experiences remain taboo within the field. This study documented high rates of mental-health difficulties (both diagnosed and undiagnosed) among faculty, graduate students, and others affiliated with accredited doctoral and internship programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology. More than 80% of respondents (n = 1,395 of 1,692) reported a lifetime history mental-health difficulties, and nearly half (48%) reported a diagnosed mental disorder. Among those with diagnosed and undiagnosed mental-health difficulties, the most common reported concerns were depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Participants who reported diagnosed mental disorders endorsed, on average, more specific mental-health difficulties and were more likely to report current difficulties than were undiagnosed participants. Graduate students were more likely to endorse both diagnosed and undiagnosed mental-health difficulties than were faculty, and they were more likely to report ongoing difficulties. Overall, rates of mental disorders within clinical, counseling, and school psychology faculty and trainees were similar to or greater than those observed in the general population. We discuss the implications of these results and suggest specific directions for future research on this heretofore neglected topic.
Understanding the Experiences of COVID-19 Spatial and Social Restrictions Among Young People with Physical Disabilities
Authors: Atkins Rachel , Cassarino Marica
Published: July 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant social and spatial restrictions. While everyone has felt the impacts of this health crisis, limited evidence is available about the experiences of young individuals with physical disabilities; this group faces many challenges due to the pandemic restrictions, including increased vulnerability, inaccessibility of essential services and increased spatial inequalities within the environment. Aims: This study aimed to gain an insight into the experiences of spatial and social restrictions for young people with disabilities, with a look at understanding the potential impact on wellbeing.Methods and Procedures: In this qualitative study, semi-structured online interviews were completed with a convenience sample of eight people aged between 18-25, with one or more physical disabilities. The interview investigated day-to-day spatial and social activities during the lockdown. A short questionnaire collected demographic and health information. Data was analysed using thematic analysis.Results: The participants’ responses generated three core themes: 1) Adapting to a new way of life; 2) Dealing with a sense of uncertainty and isolation; 3) Widening the gap of inequality. Within these themes, participants’ narratives centred around the negative impact of restrictions on socialisation, the emotional toll of virus-related fear and stress, and the increased inequality of guidance and inaccessibility of amenities; participants also described initiating new routines as a coping strategy and the changes to work/college life. Conclusions and Implications: These findings highlight how the pandemic has exacerbated spatial and social inequalities for young people with disabilities, and has had a resulting impact on their overall well-being. Therefore, this points at the importance of promoting equal access and personhood among vulnerable groups.

Published: July 2021

The evaluation of technological production in agricultural sciences presents specific challenges. Unlike scientific publications, for which there are standardized evaluation criteria, technological developments require a more multidimensional and situated approach. This article analyzes a technology certification scheme developed by the National Institute of Agricultural Research (INIA by its Spanish acronym) in Uruguay. The process aims to validate the developments based on the perspective of potential users. Based on a literature review and interviews with participants, we reviewed the process design and the first implementation round in 2019. Given the study results, we reported on the innovative nature of the process, both at national and regional levels. At the same time, we highlight the importance of incorporating a variety of stakeholders and prioritizing feedback and learning over bureaucratic control. Finally, we recommend linking this process with analogous instances that may exist in other institutions within the local science system.
La mortalidad por suicidio en las poblaciones masculinas joven, adulta y adulta mayor en ocho países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe
Authors: Cárdenas Rosario
Published: July 2021

El suicidio es la manifestación más extrema de necesidades de atención de salud mental y la importancia de reducir su ocurrencia ha sido subrayada por los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. La pandemia de COVID-19 podría incrementar la mortalidad por suicidio debido a sus efectos negativos sobre las condiciones de vida. Este trabajo analiza la mortalidad por suicidio en hombres jóvenes, adultos y adultos mayores en ocho países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe entre 2005 y 2015. Se estiman tasas de mortalidad anuales para cinco grupos etarios distinguidos por etapas de vida. Los resultados muestran diferencias por países entre los patrones de edad y la trayectoria de esta causa de mortalidad. Uruguay manifiesta los niveles más altos de suicidio junto con Cuba para los adultos mayores. Hallazgos como los que este estudio y otros similares proveen respecto a la tendencia del suicidio en la región de Latinoamérica y el Caribe o los países que la integran, podrían servir de punto de referencia para valorar el impacto de la pandemia de SARS-CoV-2 para esta problemática de la salud mental.

Authors: Fernandes Duval , Peixoto João , Oltramari Andrea Poleto
Published: July 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o fluxo mais recente de brasileiros para Portugal, iniciado em 2015 e terminado de forma abrupta no início de 2020, com a pandemia do Covid-19. Este fluxo foi, talvez, o mais volumoso e variado dos que envolveram brasileiros nas últimas décadas, sendo também o mais breve. A sua natureza recente e a escassez de outros estudos sobre o tema tornam difícil uma leitura extensiva e completa. Por isso, a finalidade deste texto é mobilizar e interpretar diversas fontes estatísticas, bem como divulgar os resultados de algumas entrevistas realizadas, entre agosto de 2019 e janeiro de 2020, com representantes institucionais e quarenta imigrantes. A conjugação da informação estatística com as entrevistas permite um retrato dos novos movimentos.

Coronavirus disease is a serious infectious disease that spread very rapidly. Coronavirus not only impacts the general population but also a thread for health care providers. Besides, it psychologically impacts health care professionals especially nurses.

Objectives. To explore the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nurses working in corona isolation units.

Methodology. A qualitative study was conducted using a phenomenological study design. Overall, data were collected from 15 nurses working in tertiary care hospitals of district Nowshera. The study was carried from 1st April 2020 to 20th May 2020. Permission was granted from the District Health Officer of District Nowshera. Keeping the spread of the coronavirus in view, data was collected through semi-structured in-depth telephonic interviews. Electronic consent was also granted from all the concerned participants before data collection. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s 7-step method.

Results. A total of three themes were generated from the data; Stress, social isolation, and Coping and Self-Care Styles. Nurses working in COVID-19 units experience stress due to constant duty change, fatigue, change in duty placement, and work overload. Also, they experience social isolation due to the fear of getting infected and the disease transmission to their family and other population. Coping and self-care styles such as exercise, physical activity, facing the reality and religious beliefs are important for the nurses to maintain their mental health.

Conclusions. The outbreak of COVID-19 psychologically impacts the nurses. Besides, the nurses experience stress and social isolation. The nurses also need coping and self-care styles to maintain their mental health. The role of the health department is very important to highlight this issue and provide proper assistance to the nurses.

Published: July 2021

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is an increasingly preferred treatment that is easier to use in patients with hemodynamic impairment and can be applied in critical care settings. There are various subtypes of CRRT, one of which is continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). In this study, we examined the general characteristics of intensive care patients who underwent CVVHDF.

Methods. The clinical and biochemical data of 123 patients who underwent CVVHDF in the intensive care units of our center between February 2012 and November 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients who died during the course of therapy were compared with those who survived.

Results. The study included 123 patients, 73 males (59.3%) and 50 females (40.7%). The mean age was 64.4 years. Eighty-eight patients (71.5%) died during CVVHDF while 35 patients survived (28.5%). Hemodynamic parameters such as systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure were significantly lower in patients who died compared to survivors (p<0.001). Mean lactic acid level was significantly higher in the deceased group than in the surviving group (8.54 mmol/L vs. 3.68 mmol/L, p<0.001, chi-square test).

Conclusions. Low bicarbonate level, low systolic arterial blood pressure, and older age were significant independent predictors of mortality in this study. Mortality rates were significantly higher among patients with lactic acidosis and those over 66 years of age. Lactic acid levels can be used to predict mortality in patients undergoing CVVHDF.
