Published: June 2022

Young people have reported poor Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) indicators over the years including teenage pregnancy, unsafe abortion, neonatal mortality, and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) including HIV/AIDs, among others. Further, study findings have shown barriers to young people’s access to and utilization of SRH services at health facilities include lack of confidentiality and privacy, stigma and discrimination, the unfriendly and negative attitude among service providers, long waiting time for services, and lack of information among young people on availability of SRH services at the health facilities. The limited access to SRH services among young people poses greater health risks to these groups such as a high risk of sexual and gender-based violence, a higher risk of unwanted pregnancies, and unsafe abortions. It is on this basis that the researchers conducted a study aimed at assessing the availability and readiness of Health Facilities to Deliver SRH Services for Young People in its implementation sites. A full-coverage survey across all 24 link health facilities of the Get Up Speak Out (GUSO) program implementation was conducted in May 2020 adopting an electronic approach in adherence to the MOH Covid-19 preventive guidelines. The study shows the alignment of health facilities’ activities with the Youth Friendly Services (YFS) guidelines, such as staff YFS training, YFS time allocation, and meaningful youth participation in governance and decision-making structures. However, the study has highlighted gaps such as inadequate display of SRH information; inadequate engagement and adoption of young people’s recommendations in health facilities’ governance structures for improved delivery, access, and uptake of SRH services by young people.

Published: June 2022

The paper contains a proposed methodology for determining the digital readiness of retail, which, unlike the known ones, allows managing the internal capabilities of digital transformation of enterprises in the FMCG retail segment. This technique has a number of advantages: data availability; ease of calculation; sufficiency and non-overloading of the attributes of the resulting feature; the possibility of using both in the process of primary self-diagnosis and at the control stage to determine the effectiveness of changes in the implementation of digital projects in retail. The proposed methodology involves the calculation of the integral index of digital readiness of retail enterprises, which is an indicator. It is based on morphological analysis and a formalized system of scoring share indices according to the selected components of internal capabilities for the digital transformation of an enterprise. The internal possibilities of digital transformation of retail are investigated in the context of management and support subsystems. The managerial subsystem of the digital readiness of the organization is formed by two groups of digitalization factors: the aspiration of the management staff and the presence of a digital strategy of the enterprise. The following factors are referred to the supporting subsystem: digital potential and digital culture of the enterprise. The parameters and attributes that characterize the internal capabilities of an enterprise in digital transformation in the context of the selected factors and subsystems are determined. A scale for interpreting the assessment of the level of internal digital capabilities for adapting an enterprise to the conditions of business digitalization is substantiated. The proposed methodology was tested on a representative quota sample of network FMCG segment objects, which included the largest retail operators in the region under study in terms of retail turnover. The results obtained made it possible to identify gaps in the management and support subsystems of the digital transformation of retail and offer a solution for managing the internal digital capabilities of the enterprises under study. It has been established that the main reason for the inhibition of digitalization processes is the weak will of managers and the lack of formation of digital thinking, lack of experience in developing and implementing a digital development strategy, limited financial resources, a weak level of digital skills of employees, as well as a lack of methods for assessing and managing digital transformation processes. The results obtained form the basis for discussions on industry-specific factors of business readiness for digital transformation. As well as the prerequisite for determining the directions of digital activity of network retailers, developing scenarios for digital business transformation.

Whiteflies are very small insects (1.5-2 mm), resembling microscopic moths. The wings and body are covered with white powdery pollen. They reproduce sexually, the eggs are attached to the underside of the leaves, on the stems. They hibernate in the puparia phase (pupa) on fallen leaves, in cracks and hollows of trees. The development is complicated: the larvae of the first age are mobile, the next stages are immobile. The larvae then develop into a pupa (puparium). One generation develops within 1 month. In greenhouses it can breed all year round and give 8-10 generations.

Brain stimulation over dorsomedial prefrontal cortex modulates effort-based decision making
Authors: Soutschek Alexander , Nadporozhskaia Lidiia , Christian Patricia
Published: June 2022

Deciding whether to engage in strenuous mental activities requires trading-off the potential benefits against the costs of mental effort, but it is unknown which brain rhythms are causally involved in such cost-benefit calculations. We show that brain stimulation targeting midfrontal theta oscillations increases the engagement in goal-directed mental effort. Participants received transcranial alternating current stimulation over dorsomedial prefrontal cortex while deciding whether they are willing to perform a demanding working memory task for monetary rewards. Midfrontal theta tACS increased the willingness to exert mental effort for rewards while leaving working memory performance unchanged. Computational modelling using a hierarchical Bayesian drift diffusion model suggests that theta tACS shifts the starting bias before evidence accumulation towards high reward-high effort options without affecting the velocity of the evidence accumulation process. Our findings suggest that the motivation to engage in goal-directed mental effort can be increased via midfrontal tACS.

Self-reflections of Journalists on Censorship and Pressure in the Media they Leave
Authors: Popova Zhana
Published: June 2022

The text presents results of research on how journalists tell about censorship and pres-sure on their work in the media. A number of studies point to major problems such as corporate pressure on journalists in private media; tabooization of certain topics by public and state-owned media, but also distortion of the information picture due to commercial interests. One very specific biographical moment, i.e. the quitting, dismis-sal or discharge of journalists from the media, has been chosen as a focus of the study of journalistic perceptions of limitations on the professional field. The study answers the questions: When do journalists think they were free in the media? How do they describe their perceptions of freedom of expression? How do they construct their personal narratives in media interviews in the period after quitting or being banished from the media?

Traditionally, Barleria buxifolia Linn is utilized for antidiabetic action with absence of logical investigation. Thus, the current examination was attempted to explore for its antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic movement in streptozotocin instigated diabetic animal models. Blood glucose levels were estimated in normoglycemic rats at initial, 60th and 120th minutes intervals and in glucose feed hyperglycemic rats at initial, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after solitary portion of streptozotocin at 55 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneal were made diabetic in albino rats. Blood glucose levels were estimated at week by week spans after every day administration of chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria buxifolia at dosages of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight. Other biochemical boundaries of serum triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulin, uric acid, creatinine, urea, transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransaminase, insulin and glycosylated hemoglobin were likewise estimated toward the finish of the investigation. Chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria buxifolia by oral organization for 21 days altogether (P<0.001) decreases the elevated blood glucose levels in diabetic rats whereas in normoglycemic rats it doesn’t alter the blood glucose levels significantly and in glucose feed hyperglycemic rats significantly decreases the raised blood glucose levels. Likewise, the chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria buxifolia improved other biochemical boundaries related with diabetes. Moreover, the extracts of Barleria buxifolia favorable affect the histopathological changes of pancreas in streptozotocin initiated diabetic rats. Delayed consequences legitimize the traditional utilization of Barleria buxifolia for its antidiabetic action.

Ovarian cancer is the most frequent type of gynecologic malignancy and is currently on the fifth place among different cancers worldwide. According to the estimations, ovarian cancer accounts for 1.3% of all new cancer cases. Ovarian cancer is considered a heterogeneous class of malignancies with a poor prognosis due to late diagnose and low treatment response. There are few types of ovarian cancer: epithelial ovarian cancer, germline cell ovarian cancer and stromal cell ovarian cancer. Epithelial ovarian cancers represent more than 90% of ovarian malignancies, and comprise high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSOC), low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSOC), endometrioid carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, and clear cell carcinoma. Of these, HGSOC is the most frequent histological subtype. The diagnosis of most of OC cases, at an advanced disease stage is one of the reasons for high fatality rate and carries poor prognosis with current therapies. Several aspects can increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer, including genetic factors, such as age, postmenopausal hormonal therapy use, infertility and nulliparity. Among the genetic factors, most commonly we encounter BRCA1 and BRCA2, at approximately 17% of patients. Also these mutation rise the risk for another cancers like breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostatic cancer and melanoma. BRCA1 and 2 are genes involved in DNA repair and maintenance. Other genes that have a similar function are RAD511C, RAD51D, BRIP1, PALB2, CHEK2, MRE11A, RAD50, ATM and TP53.

In this paper, by using qualitative analytical analysis with 2 case examples of Thanh nien and Tuoi tre newspapers (online) in Vietnam, in which there are history of publishing fakes news online from 2015, 2016, 2018, 2022 (with very bad editors Nguyen Ngoc Toan and Dang Thi Phuong Thao), as well as giaoduc.edu.vn and vietnamnet.vn in 2022 so we will address some points in this study based on answers for question: “What are regulatory lessons from Indonesia and Japan approaches on publishing fake news?”. We would suggest that there are penalties for negative behaviors of posting fake news online (any fake information) in the context of covid 19 epidemic. Tapsell (2019) defined ‘hoax news’ as similar to the more globally recognized term ‘fake news’: material deliberately fabricated and masqueraded as truth. At last, we will draw some lessons from K.Marx and Ho Chi Minh viewpoints on journalism for educating young generation in emerging markets such as Vietnam.
Membangun Kebijakan Pertahanan Maritim Indonesia: Telaah Kritis Fungsi Keamanan Laut Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut
Authors: Sumadinata Widya Setiabudi
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe development of security dynamics in the Southeast Asia region shows the existence of two significant threats which are traditional and non-traditional threats. In Indonesia, one of the threats to security is the great power rivalry between the United States and China. The great power rivalry between these two states has the potential to escalate into an open war which can happen in Indonesia and involve Indonesia. This threat potential means that the Indonesian Navy needs to have operational readiness in the event of a naval war and that development and deployment of a battle-ready navy is needed. This article argues that the Indonesian Navy and other stakeholders in formulating maritime defence policy are not yet able to optimally develop and deploy the Indonesian Navy’s power to be ready for naval warfare. This is caused by the Indonesian Navy’s weak autonomy in formulating the maritime defence policy and Indonesia’s strategic culture that tends to focus on non-traditional security threats. This causes the Indonesian Navy to tend to develop and be deployed in non-traditional security settings rather than be developed and deployed for naval battle.Keywords: Defence policy; maritime security; Indonesian Navy; naval battle; non-traditional security AbstrakPerkembangan dinamika keamanan kawasan Asia Tenggara menunjukkan adanya dua ancaman besar yaitu ancaman keamanan tradisional dan ancaman keamanan non-tradisional. Salah satu ancaman keamanan tradisional yang mengancam Indonesia, khususnya pada sektor maritim, adalah great power rivalry yang terjadi antara AS dan Tiongkok. Great power rivalry yang terjadi antara dua negara tersebut berpotensi tereskalasi menjadi perang terbuka yang dapat terjadi di perairan Indonesia dan melibatkan Indonesia. Kemungkikan tersebut berarti TNI AL perlu memiliki kesiapan dalam menghadapi pertempuran laut sehingga pengembangan dan gelar kekuatan laut menjadi aspek penting dalam pembuatan kebijakan pertahanan maritim nasional. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa TNI AL dan stakeholder lainnya dalam formulasi kebijakan pertahanan maritim belum mampu melakukan pengembangan dan gelar kekuatan pertempuran laut dengan optimal. Hal ini disebabkan oleh lemahnya otonomi TNI AL dalam formulasi kebijakan pertahanan maritim dan budaya stratejik Indonesia yang cenderung mengedepankan isu keamanan non-tradisional sehingga TNI AL justru lebih banyak menjalankan fungsi keamanan internal dan non-tradisional dibandingkan mengembangkan kemampuan tempurKata Kunci: Kebijakan pertahanan; keamanan maritim; TNI AL; pertempuran laut; keamanan non-tradisional.

Se entiende por lógica difusa la forma de representar matemáticamente, razonamientos e ideas imprecisas o aproximadas. Se basa en relaciones de entrada-salida representadas en un compendio de reglas difusas, que son expresiones lingüísticas que asocian una causa con un efecto. Su versatilidad la ha hecho apta para la solución de problemas de seguimiento de referencia en ingeniería de control, donde ha mejorado el desempeño de controladores para sistemas no necesariamente lineales e invariantes en el tiempo. En su teoría, se estudian distintos esquemas de control en los cuales la lógica difusa desempeña un papel determinante en su condición de control adaptivo. También, la capacidad que tienen los sistemas de inferencia difusa (SID) para la identificación de sistemas dinámicos, aporta soluciones a esquemas de control que contemplan modelos de referencia. Así, las técnicas de lógica difusa en ingeniería de control han sido un alternativa exitosa en los esfuerzos dirigidos a mejorar el rendimiento de sistemas de control ante no linealidades, variabilidad de parámetros y situaciones en las cuales la información del proceso a controlar es impreciso o poco conocido.

Quando pensamos nestes dois termos separadamente podemos não enxergar logo uma conexão, mas, na verdade, ela existe, está viva e recomenda-se. O Markting é uma arte. É também uma ciência. A razão pela qual vemos tantas ideias falharem é porque muitos não entendem que não existe apenas um único factor para sucesso - é preciso uma grande ideia, uma rede de recursos e uma tonelada de trabalho e tempo para criar um negócio duradouro e rentável. Quando se trata de marketing como uma experiência científica, os dados revelam as manobras que se podem utilizar para melhorar a sua métrica. É possível fazer previsões mais precisas sobre o que é mais provável que funcione.
Dynamical Effects of Colliding Outflows in Binary Systems
Authors: Wang Lile , Li Xinyu
Published: June 2022

The outflow of an object traveling in a fluid can shape the fluid morphology by forming a forward bow shock that accelerates the object via gravitational feedback. This dynamical effect, namely, dynamical antifriction, has been studied in idealized infinite uniform media, which suffers from the convergence problem due to the long-range nature of gravitation. In this work, we conduct global 3D hydrodynamic simulations to study this effect in the scenario of a binary system, where the collision of outflows from both stars creates a suitable configuration. We demonstrate with simulations that a dense and slow outflow can give rise to a positive torque on the binary and lead to the expansion of the orbit. As an application, we show that binaries consisting of an AGB star and an outflowing pulsar can experience ∼10% orbital expansion during the AGB stage, in addition to the contribution from mass loss. We also prove that the gravitational force drops as O(r
−3) from the center of mass in the binary scenarios, which guarantees a quick converge of the overall effect.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 for this year has had a negative impact on life, particularly the psychological impact of anxiety. Anxiety occurs in the general public and in health workers, one of which is a nurse. If anxiety continues, it will affect the quality of life and performance of nurses. Supportive therapy is one of the non-pharmacological treatments to reduce anxiety.

AIM: This study was to determine the effectiveness of supportive therapy in reducing the anxiety of COVID-19 nurses in isolation ICU.

METHODS: This study used quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design. The researcher wanted to know the effectiveness of a treatment, namely, supportive therapy, against the anxiety of the COVID-19 nurses of isolation ICU room. This study used a pre-post-test one-group intervention method. The therapy mechanism applied 1–4 sessions of supportive therapy by dividing each session into 3 days. Forty respondents participated in this study. The data obtained were analyzed using paired t-test.

RESULTS: The results show that 55% of respondents experience moderate anxiety before supportive therapy, and 60% are not anxious after supportive therapy. It is also found that p = 0.000 is considered and lower than the alpha value of 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). Therefore, there is a statistically significant difference before and after supportive therapy.

CONCLUSION: The conclusion that can be drawn is the influence of supportive therapy on reducing anxiety in COVID-19 isolation ICU nurses.

Introduction: Vitamin D contributes to leptin synthesis through its effects on adipogenesis, the regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and its effect on mRNA leptin. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation of leptin and vitamin D deficiency and in children with obesity.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2019 to February 2020 and was chosen using multistage cluster random sampling with the target of junior high and high school students in Makassar city who met the obesity criteria. The subjects were divided into obese children with vitamin D deficiency group and obese children without vitamin D deficiency group.
Results: The occurrence of hyperleptinemia in children with obesity and vitamin D deficiency was 42 (82.4 %), while it was 1 (2.2%) in children with obesity but no vitamin D deficiency, with a statistical analysis showing a value of p=0.000 and an OR value of 205.333. The leptin levels’ mean value in children with obesity and vitamin D deficiency was 31.67 ng/mL, while it was 5.13 ng/mL in the group without vitamin D deficiency. A Spearman correlation analysis of vitamin D and leptin levels revealed a negative correlation with p = 0.000 and r = -0.817.
Conclusion: The level of leptin was higher in children with obesity and vitamin D deficiency than in children with obesity but no vitamin D deficiency.

BACKGROUND: Appendicitis is an undesirable diagnosis, and the Alvarado score (AS) alone is insufficient in recognizing it. Many novel laboratory indicators, such as leukocytes and mast cells, differentiate.

AIM: Our objective was to demonstrate that mast cells had a greater influence on appendicitis severity than the AS, neutrophils, and platelets.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational research in which 35 individuals with acute appendicitis at our institutions were identified for the appendix grade and allocated to one of two groups: Complicated or non-complicated. The AS and white blood cell count were calculated using the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), thrombocyte-to-neutrophil ratio (TNR), and total leukocyte. Mast cell count and granulation are evaluated using pathological anatomy.

RESULTS: TLR could not distinguish between severe appendicitis and others, but some showed potential. NLR, TNR, total leukocyte, ASs, mast cell count, and degranulation demonstrated good sensitivity-specificity values.

CONCLUSIONS: Mast cells have the potential to become a promising approach for predicting complicated pediatric appendicitis.
Obstetric Outcomes and Successful Reduction of Twin Pregnancies Achieved by In Vitro Fertilization

Published: June 2022

The use of in vitro fertilization methods around the world is constantly increasing. In some developed countries, up to 5% of newborns are as a result of pregnancies after IVF procedures. In vitro fertilization as one of the main and widespread methods for treatment of infertility is the main reason for the high frequency of multiple pregnancies, which, in many countries, is still too high. Most of the multiple pregnancies are in fact twin pregnancies. Twin pregnancies, regardless of how they are achieved, are associated with large number of complications compared with singleton ones. More often these pregnancies can lead to maternal complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Maternal complications include development of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, placenta previa, placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage, and delivery by cesarean sections. Adverse pregnancy outcomes mostly include preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW), small for gestational age newborn (SGA), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). A number of studies have found differences in the course of twin pregnancies according to their mode of occurrence – spontaneous or after IVF. Some of them have found that twin pregnancies after IVF are associated with poorer obstetric and perinatal outcomes, others do not find such a difference, and there are even studies that find a better outcome in IVF twin pregnancies. Twin pregnancy is a common occurrence after IVF procedure, because multiple-embryo transfer is commonly regarded as an effective strategy to improve the likelihood of a successful pregnancy. Understanding the risks of these pregnancies should be a strong motive for the transfer of fewer embryos during IVF procedures. The most effective way to do this is to transfer a single-embryo into the uterus in cases, where this is justified and the chances of getting pregnant are high. An important element in achieving this goal is the use of methods for vitrification of embryos, which leads to a sufficiently high rate of clinical pregnancies after freezing of embryos obtained by IVF and their subsequent transfer after thawing in case of failure of fresh ET.
