Published: June 2021

One of the most significant information resources that often overlooked and it is mostly owned by the modern organization today is logs data. Likewise, logs data analytics is practised in many industries for different purposes, including website/system performance improvement, web development, information architecture, web-based campaigns/programs, network traffic monitoring, e-commerce optimization, marketing/advertising, etc. Many tools or approaches are available for this purpose, some are proprietary and some are open source. Studying the nature of these tools in finding the suitable and the right log analyzer in order to perform log analytics economically, efficiently and effectively will give advantages to the organization towards utilizing the primary source of information for identifying the system threats and problems that occur in the system at any time through Visualizing Insights of source using Elastic Stack. These kinds of threats and problems which existed in the system can be identified by analyzing the log file and finding the patterns for possible suspicious behaviour. A case study of UMMAIL’s access logs is proposed to visualise web server logs. The system administrator's concern can then be furnished with an appropriate infographics representation regarding these security threats and problems in the system, which are generated after the log files, are analysed. Based on this signs the administrator can take appropriate actions.

Published: June 2021

This paper presents an analysis of PSIuIeTR type model, which are used to study the transmission dynamics of typhoid fever diseases in a population. Basic idea of typhoid fever disease transmission using compartmental modeling is discussed. Differential Transformation Method (DTM) is discussed in detail, which is used to compute the series solution of the non-linear system of differential equation governing the model equations. The validity of the (DTM) in solving the proposed model is established by classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta method which is implemented in Maple 18. Graphical results confirm that (DTM) is in good agreement with RK-4 and this produced correctly same behaviour of the model, thus validating the efficiency and accuracy of (DTM) in finding the series solution of an epidemic model.

Published: June 2021

Sentences are the language of human communication. This communication medium is so fluid that words and meaning can have many interpretations by readers. Besides, a document that consists of thousands of sentences would be tough for the reader to understand the content. In this case, computer power is required to analyse the gigantic batch size of the text. However, there are several arguments that actively discuss regarding the output generated by a computer toward the meaning of the passage in terms of accuracy. One of the reasons for this issue is the existing of the ambiguous word with multiple meanings in a sentence. The passage might be incorrectly translated due to wrong sense selection during the early phase of sentence translation. Translating sentence in this paper means either the sentence has a negative or positive meaning. Thus, this research discusses on how to disambiguate the term in a sentence by referring to the Wordnet repository by proposing the use of fuzzy semantic-based similarity model. The proposed model promising to return a good result for detecting the similarity of two sentences that has been proven in the past research. At the end of this paper, preliminary result which shows the flow of how the proposed framework working is discussed.
A SATURATED TREATMENT MODEL FOR THE TRANSMISSION DYNAMICS OF RABIES
Authors: Ayoade A A , Peter O J , Ayoola T A , Amadiegwu S , Victor A A
Published: June 2021

Rabies is a viral disease that claims about 59 000 lives globally every year. The ignorance of the fact that man can be a carrier of the disease makes every practical and theoretical approach towards the study of the disease a good development. In this work, a mathematical model is designed to incorporate a saturated incidence rate such that the incidence rate is saturated around the infectious agents. The model is studied qualitatively via stability theory of nonlinear differential equations to assess the effects of general awareness, constant vaccination and the saturated treatment on the transmission dynamics of rabies disease. The effective reproduction number is derived and the numerical simulation is carried out to verify the analytical results. It is discovered that while general awareness plays pivotal roles in averting rabies death, multiple control measures have the tendency of driving rabies to extinction.
The Role of Gender in the Relationship Between Narcissism and Perfectionism in Hungarian Physical Education Students
Authors: Kállay Éva , Pintea Sebastian , Tóth László
Published: June 2021

"Literature indicates a strong relationship between narcissism and perfectionism, however, there is little information about this relationship in sports, and even less regarding the way gender affects this relationship. Our paper aims to answer the following questions, in a sample of 202 Hungarian physical education students: (i) are there gender differences in narcissism and perfectionism and how large are these differences?, (ii) how strong is the relationship between narcissism and perfectionism?, (iii) does this relationship vary as a function of perfectionism's components?, and (iv) are there any gender differences in the relationship between narcissism and perfectionism? Our results indicate that the male participants attained significantly higher levels of narcissism than the female participants. Furthermore, we found no significant gender differences in any of the three components of perfectionism a low to moderate association between narcissism and Self-oriented perfectionism and Other-oriented perfectionism, while on the entire sample, narcissism did not correlate with Socially-prescribed perfectionism. Analyzing this relationship separately in the two genders, our investigation indicates a moderate association between narcissism and all the three components of perfectionism only in the case of male participants, these relationships being non-significant for the female participants. These findings indicate that narcissism, in this specific population, is just one of the predictors of perfectionism (and maybe not even the most relevant one). We propose that future studies should focus on exploring other predictive factors of perfectionisms.

"Group Development is one of the most important cornerstones of social life. It dictates how our work and social circles develop and influences the relationships in our lives, and in turn, these relationships dictate the levels of satisfaction we report in our lives. Teamwork is also important in our experiences as it is strongly related to group development and is linked with many aspects, such as professionalism and efficiency in teams. In this paper, we discuss the importance of group development for any forming teams and analyze the concept within nine models (Bass and Ryterband, Tubb, Cog’s Ladder, Homan, Woodcock, Fisher, Jones, Tuckman and Wheelan), with a particular accent on the last two (Tuckman and Wheelan).

Published: June 2021

The objective of this work is to determine the effects of oven drying on the physico-chemical composition of eggplant (Solanum Aethiopicum L.). The samples were collected in the field school of the University Jean Lorougnon Guédé in Daloa. The water contents, pH, titratable acidity and vitamin C were determined at different temperatures (50 ° C, 60 ° C, 80 ° C and 90 ° C) and time. Analyzes show that the moisture (92 to 5%), pH (5.67 to 3.44) and vitamin C (1.095 to 0.508 mg EAA / 100g) contents decrease progressively as a function of the drying time and over time. as the temperature rises. However, the titratable acidity contents of eggplants increase (0.0153 to 0.229 meq / 100g) gradually with increasing temperature. Increasing temperature and time lead to a decrease in humidity, pH and vitamin C and an increase in the titratable acidity content of eggplants during drying.

Published: June 2021

Field experiment was conducted in Farmers holding located at Rajagopalapuram village under Kuttalam taluk, Mayiladuthurai district, Tamilnadu, India belonging to Padugai series (Typic ustifluvent) low in available silicon to elucidate the response of banana in terms of yield, nutrition and quality due to silicon nutrition applied through potassium silicate. The treatment consists of  T1 - NPK (RDF), T2 - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 0.25%, T3- NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 0.50%, T4 - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 1.00%, T5­ - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 0.25%, T6 - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 0.50%,  T7­ - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 1.00%,  T8 - NPK + Potassium silicate (SA) - 50 kg ha-1, T9 - NPK + Potassium silicate (SA) - 100 kg ha-1 and T10 - NPK + Potassium silicate (SA) – 150 kg ha-1. From T2 to T4 foliar spray was done at 3rd and 5th month and from T5 to T7, foliar spray was done at 3rd, 5th and 7th month.  The test crop is Banana Var. Grand Naine. The results showed that the highest fruit yield was noticed with 50 kg Si ha-1 (96.0 t ha-1) and it reduced with Si levels.  Among foliar treatments, fruit yield increased with silicon concentrations (0.25 to 1%).  The highest fruit yield was observed with 1% Si applied at 3rd and 5th month (92.7 t ha-1). Foliar spray of 0.25 and 0.5% Si applied thrice increased the fruit yield compared to twice application at same concentration. But fruit yield declined when Si was sprayed at 1% thrice. Soil application of silicon recorded higher nutrient uptake over foliar addition. The nutrient uptake was maximum with 150 kg Si ha-1. With respect to foliar treatments, the highest uptake was noticed with foliar spray of 1% Si applied at 3rd and 5th month. Soil application of 50 kg Si ha-1 recorded the highest fruit quality viz., TSS, total sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugar and leaf protein. The highest fruit quality was noticed with foliar spray of 1% Si applied at 3rd and 5th month.

Published: June 2021

The study was conducted in JICA Tsukuba experimental rice field RE-2 from April 2018 to September 2018, to determine the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer (Ammonium sulfate) application, on the growth and the yield of IR-28 rice. Four levels of nitrogen fertilizer were applied; 0kg.ha-1 (N0), 40kg.ha-1(N40), 60kg.ha-1(N60) and 80kg.ha-1(N80). For each of the four levels, part of the fertilizer was applied as basal dressing prior to transplanting, and the rest was applied as top-dressing at the panicle initiation stage. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments and three replications. The plant length, the tiller number and the leaf colour were measured for growth data. The number of panicles per m2, the number of spikelets per panicle, the spikelet fertility rate, the 1000 grains weight, and the calculated yield were determined for yield components assessment. The plant length and the tiller number were significantly higher in N80 and N60 compared to N40 and N0, and N80 showed the highest values. There was no significant difference among the four nitrogen levels in terms of the number of panicles per m2 and the number of spikelets per panicle. The spikelet fertility rate and the 1000 grains weight were significantly higher in N80, N60 and N40 compared to N0, and no significant difference was observed among the three. Calculated yield values were higher in N80 (5.74 tons.ha-1) and N60 (5.38 tons.ha-1) compared to N40(4.88 tons.ha-1) and N0 (4.36 tons.ha-1), but there were no significant differences among the four treatments (5% Level of HSD). These results suggest that a high yield of rice can be achieved through the application of high amounts of nitrogen fertilizers. N60 nitrogen level can be recommended for optimum yield of IR-28. Although N80 showed higher yield and yield components, N60 is the best and the most economical nitrogen level required for optimum yield of IR-28.
Are Reduplicative Qua-Operators Superfluous?
Authors: Yang Eric
Published: June 2021

Reduplicative approaches to the incarnation attempt to avoid the charge of incoherence by employing a qua-operator that operates on an entire assertion. The main objection to this approach is that it still yields a contradiction. Recently, two new reduplicative approaches have been offered that purport to avoid contradiction, one that offers a novel analysis of negative predications and the other which prevents conjoining divine and human predicates into a meaningful sentence. In this paper, I argue that these newer approaches either fail to provide a distinctive solution or do not show whether the model is genuinely possible.
Xunzi’s Ritual Model and Modern Moral Education
Authors: Lewis Colin Joseph
Published: June 2021

While the early Confucians were largely content to maintain the rituals of ancient kings as the core of moral education in their time, it is not obvious that contemporary humans could, or should, draw from the particulars of such a tradition. Indeed, even if one takes ritual seriously as a tool for cultivation, there remains a question of how to design moral education programs incorporating ritual. This essay examines impediments faced by a ritualized approach to moral education, how they might be overcome, and how a ritual method could be developed in modernity. I contend that a Confucian notion of ritual, particularly as elaborated in the Xunzi, is both compatible with modern moral education and capable of making a distinct contribution to moral education in terms of how rituals can be used to structure and inculcate a shared climate of respect and humaneness both in- and outside the classroom. Specifically, the ritual education method includes emphases on inculcating moral fluency via symbolic practices and distinctions, training and appropriately associating promoral dispositions, enhancing moral imagination, and developing awareness of other minds. The model is thus a multifaceted approach to moral education through (meta)cognitive development.

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of mothers as single parents in developing their children's intelligence at the age of 4-6 years. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a single variable, namely social intelligence. Social intelligence consists of aspects of social sensitivity, social insight, and social communication. This aspect of social intelligence must be possessed by early childhood. Social intelligence includes empathy, prosocial, self-awareness, understanding of social situations and social ethics, problem solving skills, effective communication, effective listening and being able to lead groups. These skills can be taught to children starting from an early age by their parents, mothers who act as single parents have their own ways to help their children's development because social intelligence in early childhood is not naturally possessed by children, but must be grown and developed. by parents by developing the social and emotional aspects of early childhood. That is why we need various methods that can be used to develop it. One method that parents can use in developing social and emotional aspects in early childhood is through example. Exemplary activities that can be done to develop emotional social intelligence in early childhood.
Ownership Control Eats Strategy and Culture for Lunch: The Case for Future Ownership Development Prior to Ownership Transition
Authors: Poza-Valle Ernesto
Published: June 2021

A review of the academic research and practitioner best practices literature highlights how little we still know about the role that ownership control plays in the continuity of founder-controlled and family-controlled firms. Founder-controlled firms have been shown to financially outperform other firms. Allowing for more nuanced findings given the heterogeneity of family businesses, a similar advantage has been found in family-controlled firms around the world when their performance is contrasted with that of management-controlled firms. Research points to generational and family participation effects that may contribute to a gradual decline in this advantage over the generations. Still, controlling families of family firms face the prospect of leading a family-controlled firm across generations that continues to derive the financial and noneconomic benefits of such control or to squander that opportunity by not having ownership control be a fundamental consideration in their owners’ strategy when facing a generational transition. Statutory ownership control, psychological ownership and family unity approaches are all considered in an exploration of a future ownership development perspective and approaches that controlling families can take to preserve ownership control and the resulting comparative advantage evidenced in higher financial and noneconomic returns over generations.

The customs procedure of duty-free trade: Methodological problems of indirect taxation and solutions
Authors: SIDOROVA Elena Yu. , ARTEM'EV Aleksei A.
Published: June 2021

Subject. The article discusses customs payments made as part of sale and purchase deals for imported goods passing the duty-free trade customs clearance procedure.
Objectives. We study methodological aspects of indirect taxation in the sale of goods passing the duty-free trade customs clearance procedure, and determine economically reasonable consequences in common situations.
Methods. We use the graphic method, methods of comparison and observation to prove the reasonableness, reliability of methodological provisions and provide our reasoning on economically correct tax implications of indirect taxes as part of sale of imported goods subject to the duty-free trade customs clearance procedure.
Results. Setting forth effective rules for duty-free shops and the use of the duty-free customs clearance procedure, the government expected that goods be sold to outbound passengers. However, as the real situation shows, inbound passengers can also go for duty-free shopping. Some methodological issues and contradictions arose after the scope of the duty-free procedure changed. There are two types of deals in selling goods to a duty-free shop (the seller is a Russian resident in the first case, but not in the other). Furthermore, currently, duty-free shops may sell goods to each other, being in the Russian Federation, which also engenders complicated contractual schemes.
Conclusions. The paper outlines scenarios of selling goods to duty-free shops, and respective tax implications. We also consider the mechanism for charging taxes on deals involving goods subject to the duty-free trade procedure. In this study, we determine the taxation of other transactions that duty-free shops can make, out of the scope of the duty-free trade customs clearance procedure.

Published: June 2021

Whether for 21st century skills development such as creativity, communication, and collaboration orfor transdisciplinary knowledge creation leading to innovation, the integration of Arts with STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields is gaining popularity in higher education. However, a comprehensive survey of proven methodologies to integrate Arts with STEM disciplines (referred to as STEAM) currently does not exist. This paper presents the preliminary results of asystematized literature review done to characterize the integration of arts with STEM disciplines in higher education. It also uses these findings to analyze the most recent STEAM initiative of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Ottawa. This research finds three main rationales to integrate arts with STEM and presents the frameworks discussed in the literature to do this integration. It also examines how creativity is assessed and developed within STEAM higher education contexts. This research contributes a reference of validated arts integration and creativity frameworks which can be used to setup STEAM projects or evaluate them in relation to proven methodologies. The frameworks presented in this research can be used in classrooms and professional environments.

Authors: Potvin Gabriel , Verrett Jonathan
Published: June 2021

The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at UBC is currently undergoing a majorcurriculum renewal with the aim of modernizing the two undergraduate programs it offers to better prepare students for increasingly diverse industries. Part of this initiative aims to introduce design earlier and integrate it throughout the programs. At the core of the new 2nd year curriculum are two new cornerstone courses: CHBE 220 and 221 – Fundamentals of Chemical and Biological Engineering I/II. CHBE 220 is taken in term 1 and replaces a previous classicallystructuredphysical chemistry course and an introductory seminar on process technology. It focuses on basicchemical process design and analysis, drawing from thermodynamics and kinetics as needed to support design topics. CHBE 221, offered in term 2, replaces a previous introductory cell biology course, and focuses on industrial microbiology and bioprocess design, drawing from cell and molecular biology and physical chemistry as needed to support design tasks. Both courses include substantial term-spanning design projects. This paper outlines the content and structure of bothcourses and their place in the updated curriculum. It describes the integrated design projects and other course deliverables. Recommendations for future iterations of the courses are also presented.
Prospects for the improvement of interregional cooperation in Russia (based on the example of the Siberian regions)
Authors: Violin Sergey
Published: June 2021

In the Russian Federation, interregional cooperation is limited, which negatively affects regional development and contributes to growing regional disparities. The goal of this research is to gain better understanding for slow and inconsistent development of interregional relations in Russia. The main hypothesis is that the lack of proper coordination and communication between the federal and regional levels of government, between regions themselves, as well as between regional authorities and other stakeholders in regions’ development is one of the key problems that hampers development of interregional cooperation in contemporary Russia. Retrospective, statistical, and content analysis were used to test this hypothesis. The analysis of the federal policy toward regional development since 1990 has shown gradual increase in centralisation of authority. The regional policy stimulated interregional competition and dependence on federal investments and subsidies. Nevertheless, the study of strategic plans of Siberian regions shows that with proper coordination and communication between interested parties some of the problems inhibiting interregional cooperation can be resolved. Better coordination, in turn, requires improvement of the institutional infrastructure. The findings are relevant for policy makers and scholars in the field of regional development. Further research is needed concerning the most efficient forms of coordination institutions.
The delimitation of functional areas in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship (Poland) concerning social, financial and economic as well as spatial and infrastructural criteria
Authors: Ćwikła Mateusz
Published: June 2021

The article presents current trends in delimiting an area by function and covers various research issues. The main goal of the work was achieved through the author’s method of delimiting functional areas in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, taking into account social, financial and economic, and spatial and infrastructural criteria. Among all 18 diagnostic features, the following indicators were the most useful: population density, net migration of permanent commune residents per 1000 population, non-working age population per 100 working-age, number of national economy entities on the REGON register per 1000 working-age population, number of dwellings per 1000 inhabitants, and proportion of commune agricultural land to total area. The starting point for creating a fixed classification for communes was the functional typology developed by J. Bański in 2009 at the special request of the Ministry of Regional Development. As a result of the delimitation, the following functional areas in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship were designated: urban (5), diversified urban (7), tourist and spa (2), tourism and recreation (7), agricultural and horticultural (4), agricultural production (22), semi-subsistent smallholdings (30) and multifunctional (25).

Celem artykułu jest charakterystyka narzędzi analizy wskaźnikowej na podstawie analizy literatury przedmiotu. Zastosowana metoda ilościowa ma istotne znaczenie dla określenia kondycji finansowej przedsiębiorstwa ze względu na możliwość przeprowadzenia syntetycznej oceny efektywności finansowej badanego podmiotu. Na szerokie możliwości aplikacyjne analizy wskaźnikowej wskazuje fakt, iż obejmuje ona obszary płynności, rentowności, zadłużenia oraz sprawności działania, czyli tzw. obrotowości, co bezpośrednio przyczynia się do kompleksowej oceny standingu finansowego przedsiębiorstwa. Potwierdza to również dokonana wiwisekcja literatury, której wyniki jednoznacznie unaoczniły, że analiza wskaźnikowa umożliwia określenie zjawisk świadczących zarówno o sile, jak i o słabościach badanej jednostki gospodarczej. Ponadto nie tylko stwarza możliwość określenia kondycji finansowej, ale także stanowi podstawę do podejmowania decyzji o charakterze finansowo-inwestycyjnym. Tym samym znajduje szerokie i praktyczne zastosowanie na różnych szczeblach zarządzania jednostką.
Młode osoby a sytuacja na rynku pracy w województwie podkarpackim
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Anna
Published: June 2021

Wobec młodych osób, dokonujących tranzycji z systemu edukacji do rynku pracy, odnotowuje się mniej korzystne wartości wskaźników zatrudnienia i stopy bezrobocia niż w odniesieniu do osób niemłodych. Wynika to zwłaszcza z braku doświadczenia, ogólnych umiejętności i specjalistycznej wiedzy, co sprawia, że osoby te są mniej atrakcyjnymi pracownikami. Celem artykułu jest diagnoza i ocena sytuacji młodych osób na rynku pracy w województwie podkarpackim. Realizacja przyjętego celu wymagała analizy literatury przedmiotu oraz danych statystycznych. Przeprowadzono również własne badania empiryczne, stanowiące uzupełnienie zasadniczych rozważań. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wskazują na zdecydowanie gorszą sytuację młodych osób na rynku pracy w województwie podkarpackim w porównaniu z sytuacją nie tylko pozostałych grup, lecz również pozostałych województw. Jednocześnie, biorąc pod uwagę wymagania regionalnego rynku pracy, badane młode osoby nie oceniły wysoko swoich przedsiębiorczych umiejętności i motywacji do podjęcia działania. Wśród rekomendowanych rozwiązań przyczyniających się do poprawy sytuacji charakteryzowanej grupy wymienić należy szkolenia, obejmujące treści zgłaszane przez pracodawców, monitoring losów absolwentów w celu dostosowania programu kształcenia do potrzeb rynku pracy oraz wsparcie udzielane młodym pracownikom przez przełożonych.

Enthesitis: an obscured extraintestinal manifestation in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease
Authors: Gerenli Nelgin , Sözeri Betül
Published: June 2021

Background. Enthesitis is an extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which often remains underdiagnosed in children. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of enthesitis in pediatric IBD patients using physical examination and ultrasound (US) assessment as the reference standard.
Methods. 31 children, 7 -18 years of age, diagnosed with IBD were recruited for a cross-sectional study. All subjects completed a study questionnaire and underwent both physical and US examination for the presence of the enthesitis.
Results. Of 31 subjects (17girls; median age 14(6) years) enrolled, 17 (55%) had ulcerative colitis, 11 (35%) had Crohn`s disease, and 3 (10%) had indeterminate colitis. The median time from IBD diagnosis was 1.2 years. At least one enthesitis (range 1-4) was identified in 14 (45%) patients of whom nine had more than one enthesitis with symmetric involvement in eight. The quadriceps femoris insertion at the superior portion of the patella was the frequently involved site (32%, 9 of 28 sites), followed by patellar ligament insertion at tibial tuberositas. The presence of enthesitis was associated with a higher intensity of the musculoskeletal pain (p=0.018), but physical activity remained unaffected (p=0.056).
Conclusions. Enthesitis is a common underestimated extra-intestinal manifestation of IBD that may impact the musculoskeletal health of children. Future studies with more extensive cohorts are needed to evaluate enthesial involvement both with physical examination and US in order to predict the long-term outcomes of the enthesitis on children with IBD.

Background. Recurrent wheezing is common in young children, with a cumulative prevalence of up to 40 % in the first 6 years of life. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the number of wheezing episodes and the number of cigarettes smoked at home and serum / saliva cotinine and carnosine levels in children with recurrent wheezing.
Methods. This study was conducted with 80 young children with recurrent wheezing, aged between 1-4 years and 50 healthy control groups. Patient population was divided into three groups depending on the number of their exposure to cigarette smoke and wheezing attacks. Serum cotinine, saliva cotinine, serum carnosine, saliva carnosine, vitamin D levels were measured by using the ELISA method.
Results. A significant relationship for serum cotinine and saliva cotinine levels was found between groups (p < 0.05). It was determined that as the number of exposure to cigarette smoke and number of wheezing episodes in young children with recurrent wheezing increased, the level of serum/saliva cotinine levels increased significantly, compared to the control group. In contrast, it was determined that as the number of exposure to cigarette smoke and number of wheezing episodes in young children with recurrent wheezing increased, serum/saliva carnosine levels decreased significantly, compared to the control group. In addition, a significant difference in serum vitamin D levels was found between healthy young children and young children with recurrent wheezing (p < 0.05).
Conclusions. We think that the measurement of salivary cotinine is a useful and noninvasive marker to evaluate passive smoking exposure in the etiology of recurrent wheezing in young children.

Background. Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) may affect or may be affected by postpartum depression (PPD), mode of feeding and postpartum life quality. We aimed to evaluate the interaction between FGID and these parameters in infants.
Methods. The study group consisted of babies attending our outpatient clinics. There were three age groups: 4-6 weeks, 3-4 months and 6-7 months. Demographic data of the babies and mothers, and data of feeding were collected. For the diagnosis of FGID, Rome III criteria were used. Mothers were screened with the Edinburgh Depression Scale. Quality of life (QoL) scores were obtained by using the `Maternal Postpartum Quality of Life Questionnaire`. Factors affecting the presence of FGID, PPD and quality of life were analyzed.
Results. Two hundred thirteen infants were enrolled during the study period. FGID was present with similar rates in both genders and was lower (31.5%) in the 6-7 month-old group (p=0.001). Infantile colic was higher in girls (68.6% vs. 31.4%, p=0.016). In 4-6 week-old infants with infantile dyschesia, the delivery route was mostly cesarean (83.3% vs. 16.7%, p=0.006). Similarly, regurgitation was more frequent in 6-7 month-old infants born by cesarean (88.9% vs. 11.1%, p=0.035), and was more frequent in infants being exclusively breastfed (60.9%, p=0.037). QoL scores were lower in mothers with depression (20.9±3.4 vs. 23.9±3.6, p=0.003). Infantile colic was higher in mothers with depression, but not significantly (29.3% vs. 11.4%, p=0.057).
Conclusions. Caesarian section delivery and breastfeeding were influential on infantile dyschesia and regurgitation subgroups. No other studied factor seemed to affect FGID.

Background. The study aimed to examine the effect of early hyperglycemia on the morbidity/mortality of very low birth weight premature infants.
Methods. This retrospective study included all premature infants with gestational age ≤32 gestational weeks, hospitalized at the Department of Intensive Neonatal Care, Clinical Center Kragujevac, during the period 2017-2019. Hyperglycemia was defined as glycemia of ≥12 mmol/l in one measurement, or > 10 mmol/l in two measurements, at repeated intervals of 2-4 hours. Glycemia was determined from capillary blood, using a gas analyzer of Gem Premier 3000, during the first 7 days of life. Continuous intravenous insulin infusion was administered after ineffective glucose restriction at glycemic values of > 14 mmol/l.
Results. Patients with normoglycemia (41/72 (56.94%)) and hyperglycemia (31/72 (43.06%)) did not differ in gender, gestational age, mode of delivery and antenatal administration of steroids, while birth weight had a tendency to be lower in the hyperglycemic group (p=0.052). Hyperglycemia was significantly associated with a low APGAR score at the fifth minute (p=0.048), necrotizing enterocolitis (p=0.011), and shorter duration of mechanical ventilation (p=0.006). Hyperglycemia was associated with significantly more frequent fatal outcomes (35.5%) when compared with the normoglycemic group (4.9%). Accordingly, these patients required inotropic (r=0.036) and insulin therapy (r < 0.001) more often. Retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and sepsis did not correlate with hyperglycemia in our study. Intraventricular hemorrhage of the first degree was more often associated with normoglycemia in premature infants on prolonged mechanical ventilation while more severe intracranial hemorrhage was more common in the hyperglycemic group but did not result in statistical significance due to the small number of patients.
Conclusions. Monitoring glucose levels in the blood of very low birth weight premature infants is clinically important because abnormalities in glucose homeostasis can have serious short-term and long-term consequences.

Background. Mutations in the KCNJ11 gene, which encodes the Kir6.2 subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel, often result in neonatal diabetes.
Case. In this report, we describe a 10-year-old girl who is heterozygous for a new missense mutation in the KCNJ11 gene and whose treatment was successfully switched from insulin to sulfonylurea (glibenclamide) therapy when she was one month old. 10-year data on a low-dose of glibenclamide monotherapy showed excellent glycaemic control with no reports of severe hypoglycaemia and microvascular complications.
Conclusion. An early genetic diagnosis of neonatal diabetes mellitus is highly beneficial because early switch from insulin to sulfonylurea is safe, avoids unnecessary insulin therapy and promotes sustained improvement of glycaemic control on long-term follow-up.

Background. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are among the most common causes of severe delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms(DRESS) in children. These reactions are more commonly seen with aromatic AEDs such as phenytoin and carbamazepine than the non-aromatic or new generation AEDs. However immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions such as urticaria/angioedema, anaphylaxis are very rare with AEDs.
Case. Levetiracetam is an increasingly used new non-aromatic antiepileptic drug and reported to have a better safety profile in daily practice. We present the first adolescent case who developed an anaphylactic reaction with intravenous levetiracetam, not reported in this age group before in the literature.
Conclusion. Hypersensitivity reactions in the form of anaphylaxis can be rarely observed with new generation AEDs. Therefore, when any antiepileptic drug is started on any patient, immediate type serious reactions such as anaphylaxis should be kept in mind, not only focusing on delayed reactions such as SJS, TEN,or DRESS.

Background: Airway remodeling has been shown to be persistent in patients with asthma despite treatment with controller medications. Patients with early airflow obstruction may continue to experience poor lung function despite treatment. Objectives: To
determine whether early airflow obstruction in inner-city children with asthma persists despite guideline-based asthma care. Methods: In a retrospective study that used a cohort of inner-city children with asthma treated by using an asthma-specific disease management system,
the patients were stratified into “low” or “high” lung function groups at the time of the initial visit (high, forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration [FEV1] % predicted and FEV1/forced vital capacity [FVC] ≥ 80%; and
low, FEV1% predicted and FEV1/FVC < 80%). These patients then received National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute guideline‐based asthma treatment at regular follow-up intervals with spirometry performed at these visits as part of regular care. FEV1%
predicted and FEV1/FVC were followed up for up to 10 years for both the high and low cohorts. Results: Over 10 years, the patients initially in the “high” group maintained FEV1% predicted and FEV1/FVC at values similar to the
initial visit (94 to 96% and 87 to 89%, respectively), whereas those in the low group had only slight increases of FEV1% predicted and FEV1/FVC over the same time (77 to 82% and 78 to 82%, respectively). Low FEV1% predicted and FEV1/FVC at the time
of the first visit was significantly associated with an increased risk of low values of these lung functions over the next 3‐5 years despite treatment. African American ethnicity and male gender were also associated with lower lung function over time. Conclusion: Early
airflow obstruction in inner city children asthma is associated with poor lung function in later life despite guideline-based asthma care. Current asthma therapy may not affect pathways and leads to airway remodeling in children with asthma.
