Authors: Hoang Huy T. , Saghira Dorsa , Finch Mary , Fortner Jeff
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Community pharmacies across the country have been adapting the ways their patients receive medications and prescription information during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection, the CDC encouraged patients to use pharmacy drive-throughs, curbside pickup, or home delivery services to obtain medications. This research study is one of the first studies to analyze how patients utilize and access Medication Management Services (MMS) in the community pharmacy setting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Objective: To evaluate changes to patients’ utilization of Medication Management Services in the community pharmacy setting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Eligible patients included persons 18 years old and older, and currently taking at least (1) chronic prescription medication in the last three months. Pharmacists were excluded from the study.
Telephonic or video interviews were conducted with patients from community pharmacy settings. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient characteristics and responses to select interview questions. A qualitative thematic analysis was conducted with data collected from open-ended interview questions.
Results: Thirty-five patients participated in interviews. Patients reported increased use of telehealth and technology, increases in quantity or days supply of medications, initiation of mail delivery services, and curbside pick-up. Five (14.3%) patients used telehealth or increased their technology usage due to the pandemic. Seven (20%) patients reported they were more proactive in refilling their medications. Eleven (31.4%) patients indicated they were currently using a prescription delivery service and were likely to continue the service. On the contrary, five (14.3%) patients experienced decreased healthcare professional interactions, while 3 (8.6%) patients encountered slowed pharmacy processing and 2 (5.7%) faced technology barriers. However, 58% of patients reported no changes to the way they utilized MMS during COVID-19.
Conclusion: Like many other healthcare providers, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a shift in how community pharmacies care for the patients they serve. This study identified various changes in how the pandemic impacted the way patients accessed and utilized community pharmacy services. These findings can serve to inform community pharmacies on how to best serve their patients during this and future pandemic.

Measurement of Sociolinguistic Competence of EFL Post Graduate Students
Authors: Sultan Amra Ibrahim
Published: December 2022

Sociolinguistic competence (henceforth SC)refers to the understanding ,or organization of  the principles of  language use that are determined by the features of  the specific language use context ; it enables us to present language functions in ways that are appropriate to that context. The ability to adjust one's speech to fit the situation in which it is said is called sociolinguistic competence, and without this ability, even the most perfectly grammatical utterances can convey a meaning entirely different from that which the speaker intended. Post-graduate students (henceforth PGSs) find it difficult to communicate freely in the target language. The ‘de-emphasized’ status of this competence in educational practice has to do with the fact that it is closely related to the sociocultural  part of acquiring a foreign language  sociolinguistic confusion can make learners seem so inappropriate as to cause misunderstanding .      For nonnative speakers, the misunderstandings they are often faced within the cross-cultural realization of communicative acts usually arise from their failure in appropriate use of pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic competence. Without attempting to  identify and discuss the features of  the language use circumstances that determine the principles of  language use. Cross cultural differences , results in misunderstandings between the speech participants, and can cause serious breakdowns in communication. These rules of speaking can be slowly acquired by the language learner as he/she is immersed in the target language culture; however, learning these rules through immersion is a time consuming process, with many rules going unnoticed for years, or even worse, never being acquired at all. important area of difficulty that PGSs face  is communication.        This study will focus on SC because it seems to be the most neglected aspect among the four categories of communicative competence in foreign language curriculum. When engaged in authentic communicative situations, they often lack some of the vocabulary or language items they need to get their meaning across. The study also aims at measuring SC of EFL Post Graduate Students and finding out whether there is significant differences between male and female students′ performance which leads to the level of sociolinguistics competence .      A test has been constructed and its validity and reliability have been ascertained  to measure SC among PGSs. Bachman and Palmer (1990:328) scale used to measure SC. The sample of this study applied 60 PGSs in Tikrit, Babel , Baghdad and Salahaddin Universities. The results of this study indicate that it is due in the methods of language teaching and the learning environment, which are unsuitable for learning a foreign language. Find difficulties in using English for communication.

تحليل الخصائص التصريفية والرسوبية لحوض وادي جولك شمال شرق كركوك
Authors: Mahmoud Abdul Haq Nayef , Muhammad Al-Bajlani Hiwa Khalil
Published: December 2022

تعد شحة المياه  مشكلة ملموسة في معظم الاراضي الجافة وشبه الجافة, خصوصاً ان  منطقة الدراسة خالية من مجرى مائي دائم, لذا يعتمد المستوطنون على المياه الجوفية في انشطتهم الزراعية والذي قد يؤثر على مستويات المياه الجوفية, مما تطلب البحث في ايجاد بدائل اخرى للمياه لسد الحاجات المتنامية لسكان هذه المناطق عن طريق دراسة الاودية موسمية الجريان لمعرفة  حجم الايراد المائي للحوض.
      انطلقت الدراسة من مشكلة مفادها صعوبة التنبؤ بالإيراد المائي والناتج الرسوبي للأودية موسمية الجريان, وصعوبة استقراء اهم العوامل الهيدروجيومورفولوجية المؤثرة في تشكيل الحوض واستجابته الهيدرولوجية .
ولأجل الكشف عن حجم الايراد المتوقع للحوض, فقد تم الاعتماد على الطرائق الاتية:
-تحليل العوامل المؤثر في تصريف الحوض.
-تحليل معدل التصريف السنوي بطريقة بيركلي اولاً, وبطريقة الادة (KINROS) ثانياً.
-تحليل الحمولة الرسوبية بطريقة العلاقة الارتباطية, ونموذج(KINROS).
      انتظمت الدراسة بثلاثة مباحث فضلاً عن الاستنتاجات والتوصيات , اذ تناول المبحث الأول فلسفة الموضوع , في حين ركز المبحث الثاني على العوامل المؤؤثرة في تصريف الحوض ,اما المبحث الثالث فقد تناول تحليل التصاريف والحمولة النهرية.
خلصت الدراسة الى جملة استنتاجات أهمها :-
 بلغ معدل الايراد المتوقع بطريقة بيركلي, والذي بلغ 0,67695 مليون/م3,وفي السنة الرطبة تبلغ 0,906521 مليون م3, اما في السنة الجافة تنخفض الى 0,40695 مليون م3, اتضح من مخرجات الاداة KINEROS بان منطقة المنبع في الجهات الشرقية والشمالية الشرقية هي التي تحدث فيها ذروة الجريان بسبب عامل الارتفاع وقد تراوحت قيم ذروة الجريان للحوض بين (0,03-0,92) م3/ثا , تبين من مخرجات الاداة KINEROS ان انتاج الرواسب في الحوض قد تركزت في الاجزاء العليا من الحوض الشرقية والغربية اي في اجزاء المنبع, وهذا مؤشر على ان الجريان السطحي عالي في هذا المناطق, اذ تراوحت بين(0.01-9,58) كغم / هكتار, وتبدء عمليات الترسب في وسط الحوض مشكلاً اراضي خصبة صالحة للزرعة.
      اما اهم التوصيات التي خرجت بها الدراسة فهي ضرورة انشاء السدود الصغيرة على المجاري الرئيسية للحوض, كذلك هناك مجموعة من الاحواض الثانوية التي تتميز بنواتج رسوبية عالية ، اذ يمكن التقليل من تعريتها والاستفادة منها بتحويلها الى اراضي زراعية لغرض خزن مياهها.

Analysis of the Relations of the Stuff of the Psychological Institute (1913-1937)
Authors: Artemeva Olga Arkadjevna
Published: December 2022

The subject of the study was the subjects' connections reflecting the degree of similarity of the research topics of the founder (G.I. Chelpanov), subsequent leaders (K.N. Kornilov, A.B. Zalkind, V.N. Kolbanovsky), and leading employees of the Psychological Institute in 1913-1937. In the context of solving the problem of collective forms of development of domestic psychology, a slang analysis of the titles of their published psychological works was carried out. In order to take into account the semantic meanings, the quantitative analysis of the titles is supplemented by the results of a qualitative analysis of the subject and type of publications, the availability of reprints and biographical data of their authors, as well as the results of an event analysis of the social history of the development of Russian psychology in the first half of the twentieth century. The results obtained testify to the strength of the subject connections of the institute leaders and specific leading employees who supported them in the implementation of research programs and in the development of topical problems of psychological theory and practice; which determined the effectiveness of their joint scientific activities in the 1920s-1930s. The main topic that united scientists was general psychology, to a lesser extent pedagogical psychology. Due to the presence of subject connections, the Institute's staff made a significant collective contribution to the definition of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the psychology of behavior, consciousness and such mental processes as sensations, perception, memory, thinking, and speech; into the development of methods of psychological research: experimental, biographical, observation methods, testing, etc. The solution of the problems of pedagogical psychology, as well as other practice-oriented areas of psychology – developmental, social, special, labor psychology, etc., by the staff of the Institute was based on the tradition of organizing experimental research, laid down when the institute was founded by G.I. Chelpanov and determined the content of the subject relations of its leading scientists in the following decades.

Published: December 2022

Objetivo: Destacar e qualificar a importância e os benefícios do tratamento das dermatoses com imunobiológicos. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de caráter descritivo e qualitativo, a partir de estudos encontrados nas bases de dados Portal Regional da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO) e National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health (PUBMED), utilizando-se das palavras de pesquisa ”immunotherapy” AND “skin diseases”, e com o filtro que consistem em espaço temporal de 2016 a 2022, artigos publicados em português e inglês. Resultados: A ceratose actínica é uma dermatose que está relacionada com o desenvolvimento do carcinoma espinocelular (CEC). Nesse sentido, identificou-se que o uso de calcipotriol combinado com 5-Fluorouracil é uma forte associação como imunoterapia para o controle de ceratose actínica. O uso de nivolumabe associado com ipilimumabe ou nivolumabe isolado sucedeu em melhores resultados que no ipilimumabe isolado. Considerações finais: Indivíduos com dermatoses submetidos a tratamento de corticoides associados a imunobiológicos podem ter uma melhora da lesão elementar na pele. Nos pacientes que não responderam ao tratamento convencional com corticosteroides e mudança de estilo de vida, o uso de imunobiológicos apresenta boa resposta e regressão das lesões, melhorando o prognóstico dos pacientes.

Published: December 2022

Annotation. The issues of determining the locations of fire departments for fire protection of buildings of functional fire hazard classes F1.1, F1.2, F4.1, F4.2 are considered. Purpose and objectives. The aim of the study is to study the features of the placement of fire departments to ensure the fire safety of socially significant objects of protection, taking into account their equipment with fire notification transmission systems. The objective of the study is to identify problematic issues for the protection of socially significant objects from fires and determine ways to solve them. Methods. The methods set out in the set of rules SP 11.13130.2009 “Locations of fire departments. Order and method of determination”. Results and discussion. Based on the provisions of SP 11.13130.2009, with the chosen goals for the duty guard to go to the fire (goal No. 1 and 3), calculations were made to determine the maximum allowable distances (L1 and L3) for buildings of functional fire hazard classes F1.1, F1.2, F4.1, F4.2. The initial data for the calculation are substantiated. It was obtained that the values of distances L1 and L3 for buildings of class F1.1, respectively, should be 4.9 and 0.8 km. For buildings of class F1.2 – 6.5 and 0.4 km, for buildings of classes F4.1 and F4.2 – 3.0 and 0.4 km. An example of the construction of territorial areas for the placement of fire station buildings for a perinatal center, a school, a hotel is considered, taking into account the transport network of a settlement. Conclusions. The fulfillment of goal No. 3 of the departure of the duty guard to the fire for buildings of functional fire hazard classes F1.1, F1.2, F4.1, F4.2 is problematic given the existing, historically established, deployment of existing fire departments. It is proposed to consider the implementation of organizational and technical measures for the fire protection of socially significant facilities, or to implement measures for the construction of new fire station buildings (posts) on the territory of the settlement. Keywords: socially significant object, fire notification system, fire station, location, fire departments, purpose of departure, transport network.

Authors: Sharma Hanjabam Barun , Kailashiya Jyotsna
Published: December 2022

Sports and exercise medicine (SEM) is a relatively new medical speciality that comprises sports medicine (overall medical care of active and exercising individuals for performance optimisation and improvement) and exercise medicine (use of physical activity and exercise for health and fitness promotion and illness and injury management). Physicians with specialisation in SEM and clinical and interventional physiology (CIP) have key roles to play in combating physical inactivity and non-communicable diseases which are threatening to become epidemic proportions on the one hand, and dismal sports performance and rising doping menace on the other hand. This review provides information regarding SEM as an emerging medical speciality, its domains, key roles of the SEM and CIP physicians and future prospects of this field. CIP along with exercise physiology, as the foundation of SEM, is discussed in this review.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor stimulation by topical capsaicin for the functional assessment of diabetic neuropathy leading to diabetic foot disease
Authors: Deepshidha Velpandian , Agrawal Vijender Kumar
Published: December 2022

Objectives:

As neuropathy predominates vasculopathy, predicting functional deterioration of autonomic neurovascular dysfunction is essential to reduce diabetic foot ulcers. The present study has evaluated the possibility of stimulating the TRPV1 receptors of the small fibres using topical capsaicin to assess diabetic neuropathy in the dorsum of the foot functionally.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on ten healthy volunteers and 20 diabetic patients after receiving ethical approval. The subjects underwent vascular Doppler analysis after giving written agreement followed by monofilament testing. Then, topical capsaicin was applied to measure the local autonomic neurovascular reaction. With the use of an infrared-based digital instrument that was specially created, the vasodilation and proportional increase in temperature brought on by the application of capsaicin were quantified.

Results:

The percentage change in the local temperature in the control group varied from 0.478 to 3.315 compared to the diabetic group, which varied from 1.862 to −3.932. There is a statistically significant difference in the mean of the two groups (P = 0.006) at a 95% confidence interval.

Conclusion:

This study suggests that TRPV1 receptor stimulation using capsaicin and resultant vasodilation monitored by the increase in local temperature can be used as a quantitative predictor of the early small fibre neuropathy in Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy before the patient ends up with diabetic foot ulcer.

Objectives:

Medical education has undergone significant changes all over the world and patient safety is one of the main reasons for the changes. The new competency-based medical curriculum in India also emphasises early clinical exposure along with the acquisition of competent and verifiable skills. The objective of this study was as follows: (1) to introduce the 1st year medical students to simulation-based learning (SBL) to develop their knowledge, skills, and communication and meet the desired learning objectives without exposing subjects to any harm and gain valuable immersive experience that felt real and (2) to obtain students feedback about SBL in learning applied aspects of physiology.

Materials and Methods:

The study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee. A total of 132 1st year medical students were divided into six batches and each batch was exposed to a pre-test, simulation exercise, a debriefing session, post-test, and feedback. Descriptive analysis of the data was done and values were expressed as mean and standard deviation. The McNemar test was used to study the effectiveness of SBL.

Results:

The average pre-test and post-test correct responses were 64.6% and 77.5%, respectively. This difference was found to be highly significant with P < 0.001. The mean pre-test score and post-test scores were 6.46 ± 1.39 and 7.75 ± 1.52, respectively, with P < 0.001. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Positive feedback was received from the students with 86.8% of them strongly agreeing to the incorporation of simulation-based activities in the curriculum. About 76.7% strongly agreed to a self-perceived increase in their decision-making, communication, and teamwork skills. Perception of the simulation as a realistic experience was perceived by 74.4% of the students.

Conclusion:

SBL is an effective tool for learning applied physiology and was viewed by the students with interest. It also enhanced their understanding of the pathophysiological basis of the clinical scenario.
Caractéristiques et mortalité des patients avec et sans syndrome cardio-rénal traités par dialyse péritonéale en France
Authors: Duneau Gabrielle , Aoun Mabel
Published: December 2022

IntroductionGlobalement, la dialyse péritonéale (DP) est de plus en plus indiquée dans l’insuffisance cardiaque réfractaire. Cette étude a pour but d’analyser les caractéristiques et la survie des patients traités par DP, en les divisant en deux groupes, avec et sans syndrome cardio-rénal (CRS).
MéthodesIl s’agit d’une étude rétrospective incluant tous les patients inscrits dans le Registre de Dialyse Péritonéale de Langue Française (RDPLF) entre le 01/01/2010 et le 01/12/2021. La cohorte a été divisée en deux groupes afin de comparer les patients avec et sans CRS. La survie a été analysée par la méthode de Kaplan Meier et une régression de Cox a identifié les facteurs associés avec la mortalité dans les deux groupes.
Résultats11730 patients en DP ont été inclus. L’âge moyen était de 66.78±16.72 ans. 766 patient (6,53 %) ont été pris en charge en DP pour CRS et 10 964 pour une autre néphropathie. Les malades avec CRS étaient plus âgés et comorbides. La survie est significativement meilleure dans le groupe sans CRS (Log Rank test < 0.001). La médiane de survie est de 17.7±1.2 mois et 49.6±0.7 mois chez les patients avec et sans CRS respectivement. En analyse multivariée, l’âge, le sexe masculin, le diabète, les pathologies cardio-vasculaires et le manque d’autonomie sont liés à une mortalité accrue dans le groupe sans CRS. Par contre, chez les patients avec CRS, seules les variables âge et antécédent d’hépatopathie sont significativement associées à un sur risque de décès. Le nombre de péritonites présentées par le patient est significativement associé à un moindre risque de décès dans les deux groupes.
ConclusionCette étude nationale portant sur un grand nombre de patients traités par DP a révélé les grandes différences dans les caractéristiques et la survie entre ceux qui ont un CRS contre ceux qui n’en ont pas. En particulier, les deux facteurs les plus liés à la mortalité dans le groupe avec CRS sont l’âge et la pathologie hépatique.
Thermoresponsive redispersible polystyrene latexes
Authors: N Keerthika , Arumugam Jayalakshmi , Santhanagopal Ramkumar
Published: December 2022

Redispersible polystyrene (PS) latexes with particle sizes in the range of 250 nm were prepared using low-molecular-weight amphiphilic thermoresponsive polymeric surfactants. A series of linear polymers with cetyl/stearyl as hydrophobic part and poly(2-methyloxazoline)/poly(2- ethyloxazoline) with about ten repeat units were synthesized through cationic ring opening polymerization (CROP) and were used as nonionic surfactants (NIS) in the preparation of poly(styrene) latexes by batch emulsion polymerization. Latexes prepared with surfactant containing thermoresponsive segments upon being heated yielded a white coagulant above its LCST temperature at 85 oC and redispersed upon cooling with minimal stirring. The particle sizes measured at 25 oC confirmed that the pristine and redispersed latex had almost similar size, whereas at 85 oC an abrupt change in the particle sizes were observed. This promising result shows the excellent use of thermoresponsive surfactant for the preparation of readily redispersible polystyrene latexes.

A (phosphino)diazomethyl anion salt 1 ([[P]−CN2][K(18-C-6)(THF)]) ([P] = [(CH2)(NDipp)]2P; 18-C-6 = 18-crown-6) behaves as a (phosphino)carbyne anion-dinitrogen adduct ([P]−C−←:N2). Under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide (CO), 1 undergoes a facile N2/CO ligand exchange reaction giving (phosphino)ketenyl anion salt [[P]−CCO][K(18-C-6)] 2. Oxidation of 2 with elemental Se affords (selenophosphoryl)ketenyl anion salt ([P](Se)−CCO][K(18-C-6)]) 3. These ketenyl anions feature a strongly bent geometry at the P-bound carbon and this carbon atom is highly nucleophilic. The electronic structure of 2 is examined by theoretical studies. Reactivity investigations demonstrate 2 as a versatile synthon for derivatives of ketene, enolate, acrylate and acrylimidate moieties.

Published: December 2022

В статье проводится сравнение конструкции обильно-металлического убора разных славянских народов конца VI - IX в. Устанавливается, что архаичный днепровский головной убор конца VI - VII в. с проволочными височными кольцами со спиральным и S-овидным завитком и головным венком имел ленточную конструкцию, включавшую крупные боковые головные украшения, в нём использовались нагрудные цепи и шейные гривны. Для такого славянского обильно-металлического убора была характерна «шумящесть», сохраняющаяся и впоследствии. В конце VII - VIII в. у славян распространились византийские звездообразные украшения и собственные формы украшений, появились признаки ювелирного убора, всё большее распространение получил ожерелья из бусин. Архаичный славянский убор или его элементы продолжали существовать в IX в. и в последующее время. Делается вывод, что конструкция убора из украшений славянских народов в целом была сходной, при этом убор из украшений в каждом из славянских регионов прошел оргинальный путь формирования - с течением времени на базе конкретной суммы влияний, новых навыков и собственных традиций оформлялись некоторые детальные различия и возникали оригинальные формы украшений и деталей конструкции убора.

The purpose of the article is to compare the construction of the attire of adornments of different Slavic peoples, the period of the end of the 6- 9 centuries is considered. The construction of the attire of adornments of the Slavic peoples was generally similar. Some detailed distinctions have been carved out over time based on a specific amount of influences, new skills, and own traditions. There were original forms of adornments and details of the construction. The medieval attire of adornments corresponds to two stages of regular development: a) heavy metal; b) jewelry. In this article a heavy metal attire is considered. Archaic Dnieper headgear of the late 6-7 centuries with temporal rings and a head wreath had a tape construction, including large side head decorations. Slavic peoples use wire temporal rings with a spiral and S-shaped curl, convenient for fastening. Such a property of the Slavic heavy metal attire as «noise» is also revealed, which persists later. Chest chains and hryvnias are used in the dress. At the end of the 7 - 8 centuries Byzantine star-shaped and their own forms of adornments spread among the Slavs. There were signs of jewelry attire. More and more bead necklaces were used. The archaic Slavic attire of adornments or its elements continued to exist in the 9 century and during the development of subsequent jewelry variants. The attire of adornments in each of the Slavic regions went through an original path of formation.

Published: December 2022

A new species, Luisia verrucosaKurzweil, Nob.Tanaka & Ormerod, from Shan State in Myanmar is described and illustrated. It is very distinct in the genus, characterised by (1) light pinkish and purple-marked navicular sepals which are coarsely verrucose on the outside, especially in their distal part, (2) light pinkish and irregularly pink-dotted lorate-elliptic petals with yellow tips, and (3) a lip with a comparatively large, oblong-elliptic, maroon-purple epichile with prominent callosities in the form of massive bulges. Because its lip does not have a constriction or prominent boundary line between hypochile and epichile, it is superficially similar to Luisia brachystachys (Lindl.) Blume, but the new species differs by having considerably larger flowers with verrucose sepals and pronounced lip ornaments.

Authors: Horníčková Beata
Published: December 2022

An ever-increasing trend of early foreign language teaching requires adequate responses to the university training of future kindergarten teachers. However, research in this area, including policies, suggests that the situation is not entirely satisfactory. This paper aims to determine the level of preparation of future teachers for teaching English to pre-primary children at individual universities in the Czech Republic. It presents findings obtained through quantitative content analysis of the syllabi of eight universities that provide education in the field of teacher training for kindergartens and focus on the preparation of future teachers for English tuition. The results show that courses for English tuition in kindergarten are not implemented by every university. Universities differ in their emphasis on foreign language tuition in kindergarten, which is reflected in the number and content of provided courses.

Design Low Complexity SCMA Codebook Using Arnold’s Cat Map
Authors: Mohamed Sura S. , Abdullah Hikmat N.
Published: December 2022

In 5G wireless communications, sparse code multiple access (SCMA) – a multi-dimensional codebook based on a specific category of the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique - enables many users to share non-orthogonal resource components with a low level of detection complexity. The multi-dimensional SCMA (MD-SCMA) codebook design presented in this study is based on the constellation rotation and interleaving method. Initially, a subset of the lattice Z 2 is used to form the mother constellation’s initial dimension. The first dimension is then rotated to produce other dimensions. Additionally, interleaving is employed for even dimensions to enhance fading channel performance. Arnold’s chaotic cat map is proposed as the interleaving method to reduce computational complexity. Performance of the SCMA codebook based on interleaving is evaluated by comparing it with selected codebooks for SCMA multiplexing. The metrics used for performance evaluation purposes include bit error rate (BER), peak to average power ratio (PAPR), and minimum Euclidean distance (MED), as well as complexity. The results demonstrate that the suggested codebook with chaotic interleaving offers performance that is equivalent to that of the conventional codebook based on interleaving. It is characterized by lower MED and higher BER compared to computer-generated and 16-star QAM codebook design approaches, but its complexity is lower than that of the conventional codebook based on interleaving.
