Introduction

The objective was to develop and validate an instrument that measures different determinants of people’s food choices and simultaneously accounts for a variety of factors: health, emotions, price and availability, society and culture, environment and politics, and marketing and advertising.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study focusing on food choice determinants. It was carried out in 16 countries in 2017 and 2018. This study included 11,960 volunteer adult participants from different countries. The data was validated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM).

Results

Validation using CFA with SEM revealed that multi-factor modelling produced first- and second-order models that could be used to define the EATMOT scale, the first presenting better fitting indices, with the goodness-of-fit and comparative-fit indices very close to 1, as well as root-mean-square-error-of-approximation, root-mean-square-residual and standardised-root-mean-square-residual at practically zero.

Conclusion

The validated EATMOT scale guarantees confidence in the information obtained through this instrument, and can be used in future studies to better understand food choice determinants in different geographical areas and help plan strategies to improve healthy eating patterns and diminish the burden of non-communicable diseases.

Published: January 2021

Introduction

The first large outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in Europe occurred in Northern Italy in February 2020. The relatively fast spread of the infection to Slovenia was expected, and preventive measures for its suppression were widely discussed.

Methods

An online questionnaire was designed to evaluate adherence to preventive measures and the extent to which the taking of preventive measures was associated with people’s anxiety level, psychological burden, their perceived vulnerability to disease, germ aversion and a number of demographic characteristics in the early stage of Covid-19 spread. The survey was active for 24 hours (13–14 March 2020). There were 12,307 responses and 7,764 questionnaires were completed in full.

Results

Higher preventive behaviour was found in individuals who experienced greater psychological distress, were more anxious, and expressed greater perceived infectability and germ aversion. Greater compliance with preventive behaviour was found among women, those sharing a household with people aged over 65, the elderly and those who knew somebody who had been infected. These groups also showed higher anxiety levels, which appeared to be significantly increased in general as a result of the specific situation. Quarantine was evaluated as the most efficient preventive measure, and was respected relatively strictly even before it became an officially announced protective measure.

Conclusion

This research reveals a strong association between preventive behaviour and anxiety. Anxiety, together with social distancing, may affect physical and psychological health in the population in the long term. Other aspects of public health might therefore be influenced by the measures currently being enforced to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
On the Maximum Order Complexity of Thue–Morse and Rudin–Shapiro Sequences along Polynomial Values
Authors: Popoli Pierre
Published: January 2021

Both the Thue–Morse and Rudin–Shapiro sequences are not suitable sequences for cryptography since their expansion complexity is small and their correlation measure of order 2 is large. These facts imply that these sequences are highly predictable despite the fact that they have a large maximum order complexity. Sun and Winterhof (2019) showed that the Thue–Morse sequence along squares keeps a large maximum order complexity. Since, by Christol’s theorem, the expansion complexity of this rarefied sequence is no longer bounded, this provides a potentially better candidate for cryptographic applications. Similar results are known for the Rudin–Shapiro sequence and more general pattern sequences. In this paper we generalize these results to any polynomial subsequence (instead of squares) and thereby answer an open problem of Sun and Winterhof. We conclude this paper by some open problems.

Computerization of the Fiscal Administration as One of the Conditions of Smart Administration in Poland
Authors: Pilarz Karina
Published: January 2021

Public administration is constantly changing, with the objective of keeping up with the social, economic and technological developments of the modern world. It is opening up to modern technologies, introducing ever newer innovations and attempting to satisfy the needs of the citizens. It is no longer seen to such a large extent as an archaic structure that is blind to reforms and modernization; as a result of which, it can start to be perceived as a smart organization. New instruments are being introduced in many areas of administration, one of them being the fiscal administration. The changes related to the ability to communicate electronically with the tax authorities, submit electronic tax returns or pay stamp duty electronically are certainly aspects that have a positive impact on the whole image of administration, enabling it to be referred to as ‘smart’. The paper provides an overview on the fiscal administration system in Poland and e-services provided thereby.

Published: January 2021

Background: Stroke is the second largest cause of death in the world. Stroke is classified based on its etiology as ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Most large-scale studies on the risk of total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in stroke are not distinguished between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Purposes: The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in ischemic stroke patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Method: Descriptive analytic study using medical records of patients at Medan Haji General Hospital in 2018-2019. The number of ischemic stroke patients is 28 patients and hemorrhagic stroke 28 patients with a total sample of 56 patients. Results: In ischemic stroke patients, the average value of triglyceride levels was 144.75 mg/dL and the average value of total cholesterol was 250.93 mg/dL. In hemorrhagic stroke patients, the average value of triglyceride levels is 126.93 mg/dL and the average total cholesterol level is 174.25 mg/dL. Conclusion: From this study we found a significant difference in total cholesterol between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. No significant difference was found in triglycerides between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.

At the development stage of a product, target cost management has a significant effect on achievement and maintenance of product competitiveness in a given market and the desired target profit as the primary aim of production. Target cost management, i.e., target profit management, is performed by evaluating individual variations of a conceptual and preliminary design solution for a new product and by choosing the solution with the lowest development costs. The paper presents the use of Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System model for managing development costs on the example of double-row angular contact ball bearings as an example of applying the above approach to market positioning in relation to competitors.

Published: January 2021

Background:

Neuroanatomy is the core basis for neurosurgical excellence. The quantity of accessible neuroanatomy resources has witnessed exponential growth in recent years. Accumulating a list of popular sources and getting them ranked by neurosurgeons was the motivation behind this investigation.

Methods:

A list of neuroanatomy resources was compiled using Google search wherein multiple sets of variable combinations of keywords were used. A three-section, eleven-item questionnaire was designed by two neurosurgeons and revised by a third independent reviewer. Neurosurgeons from different parts of the world were invited to participate. The participants were asked to rank the neuroanatomy textbook and non-book online source that they would recommend to neurosurgeons and the features that make a textbook appealing to them.

Results:

A total of 250 neurosurgeons at different levels of training responded to our questionnaire. Overall, “Rhoton’s Cranial Anatomy and Surgical Approach: Albert L. Rhoton Jr., Doctor of Medicine” was the most commonly chosen textbook that the neurosurgeons would use to revise neuroanatomy (86.0%;n= 215), recommend for residents (80.8%;n= 202) and recommend for certified surgeons (Continuing Medical Education (59.8%;n= 150), where applicable. “Illustrations” was rated as the most important neuroanatomy textbook quality by 53% (n= 134). “Rhoton collection” was the most popular online source (65.7%;n= 164.25). Chi-square tests showed no association between years of experience and the textbooks neurosurgeons recommended.

Conclusion:

Based on our study Rhoton’s book and his online collection are the leading neuroanatomy resources, recommended by neurosurgeons for neurosurgeons worldwide. The other selected resources can be implemented as a complementary part of a comprehensive neuroanatomy teaching curriculum. Knowing the relevance of these assets from a neurosurgeon’s perspective is valuable in directing future educational plan updates and recommendations.
Osimertinib-induced rapid regression of large metastatic tumor to the pituitary in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma
Authors: Wong Andrew K. , Close Troy W. , Wong Ricky H.
Published: January 2021

Background:

Metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to the pituitary (NSCLC-PitM) is rare and often presents with visual field deficits. Surgical resection for the decompression of the optic apparatus has been the treatment of choice in such cases. Osimertinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved for the treatment of patients with NSCLC with an epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation though its role in the treatment of NSCLC-PitM that remains unclear. We present a case of NSCLC-PitM with optic chiasm compression and visual deficits that were successfully treated with osimertinib alone without surgical intervention.

Case Description:

A 43-year-old male presented with pleuritic chest pain, fatigue, and visual deficits found to have NSCLC and a sellar mass with suprasellar extension and optic chiasm compression. Visual field testing demonstrated associated visual field deficits. Molecular testing was positive for EGFR exon 19 deletion. The patient was started on osimertinib with complete resolution of pituitary lesion and visual deficits at 4 weeks.

Conclusion:

Osimertinib is a third-generation EGFR-TKI that has demonstrated promising results among patients with metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC. While surgery is the mainstay of treatment in patients with a sellar mass, optic compression, and visual deficits, those with EGFR-mutated NSCLC-PitM may benefit from early initiation of such systemic therapies, rather than surgical intervention, with good ophthalmologic results.

Authors: Murray Daniel B , Horan Jack , Beausang Alan , Husien Mohammed Ben
Published: January 2021

Background:

Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) is a malignant mesenchymal tumor, most often found in the long bones, and usually affecting children and adolescents in the second decade of life. ES of the spine is a clinical rarity.

Case Description:

A 45-year-old male presented with a 3-month history of lower back pain which acutely worsened in conjunction with urinary retention. The magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass extending from L5 to S2 with additional extension through the left S2-3 neural foramen. The metastatic workup was negative. At surgery, the lesion was both intradural and extradural. Following complete surgical resection, the patient was later treated with radiation and chemotherapy.

Conclusion:

Here, we report an adult male who acutely presented with low back pain attributable to primary intradural/extradural sacral ES.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the one of severe complications of diabetes, associated with macular edema (DME), which is the main course of visual acuity loss in diabetic patients. The main pathological factors in diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema (DME) are the inflammation and increasing of vascular endothelium growth factor activity (VEGF). The treatment of DME remains challenging during the times. We know that not all eyes respond optimally to anti-VEGF therapy. No clinical effect or minimal one among patients with persistent DME has led to an urgent need to develop new treatment protocols for this group of patients. In this case adding intravitreal corticosteroids to the treatment regimen is the most effective and predictаble than continued anti-VEGF therapy alone. According to results of randomized trials the functional and anatomical outcomes in eyes with refractory DME, which were switched to DEX implant had shown statistically significant better outcome, compared to anti-VEGF therapy alone. Another important question is efficiency and safety of using intravitreal corticosteroids as the first-line therapy in patients with DME. These new findings can help to define better the role of early switch to DEX implant in the current treatment algorithm of eyes with refractory DME. And find the optimal protocol of treatment patients with DME, determine the predictors of switching from anti-VEGF therapy to steroid intravitreal injections, in DME should be on the agenda of the future studies. Key words: anti-VEGF, DME, early switch, implant dexamethasone.

Published: January 2021

Este trabalho é um recorte de uma pesquisa realizada no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemática da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG). Foram realizados o mapeamento e a análise das pesquisas publicadas entre 1987 e 2017, que abordam o ensino de geometria plana no ensino médio com o uso de softwares de geometria dinâmica como recurso didático. Para tanto, os procedimentos metodológicos do Estado do Conhecimento nos guiaram no planejamento, na organização, análise e apresentação dos dados encontrados. O campo empírico baseou-se nos bancos de dados das bibliotecas de instituições que possuem mestrado e doutorado relacionados à Educação Matemática e no Banco de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) da CAPES. Definiu-se como marco inicial o ano de 1987, por ser o ano de criação do 1º software de geometria dinâmica e 2017 como marco final devido ao de que o levantamento foi realizado em 2018. Os resultados indicam o Geogebra como o software mais utilizado nas experiências com o ambiente dinâmico. Outro aspecto que emerge dos dados coletados são influências da teoria dos registros de representação semiótica e da didática francesa. As perspectivas são permeadas por uma discussão que valoriza o “aprender a aprender” e a formação para o mercado de trabalho, focando nos aspectos técnicos em detrimento da construção de conceitos geométricos.

Published: January 2021

The expediency of joint application of methods of multi-criteria decision analysis of (MCDA) and geoinformation systems (GIS) in order to assess the suitability of lands for cultivation of agricultural crops is substantiated. The implementation of this approach will make it possible to partially automate the process of assessing land. The studies were carried out on the territory of ZAO Mirny, Kochenevsky District, Novosibirsk Region (54°56′24″ N, 82°06′12″ E), located in the forest-steppe zone. Taking into account the peculiarities of the territory under consideration, the following criteria were selected for assessing suitability of lands: drainage condition, soils granulometric composition, contrast of soil cover, working areas elevation pattern, humus layer thickness, ploughness, terrain slope angle, exposure of slopes, erosion degree. The sources of spatial information were land management maps, soil and topographic maps, digital elevation model (DEM), SRTM, ultra-high resolution satellite images. The collection and processing of spatial information was carried out in QuantumGIS (QGIS), which has an open modular architecture. ELECTRE TRI and the hierarchy analysis method were selected for the analytical assessment of information within MCDA. For both methods, there are procedures that are integrated with QGIS. With the help of QGIS GIS tools, the land use of a particular agricultural enterprise was divided into working areas, their boundaries and areas were determined. A method for obtaining an attribute database is described for each criterion. An overview of the ELECTRE TRI methods and the hierarchy analysis method is given, and their launch procedures in QGIS are described. The criteria weights were obtained using the hierarchy analysis method (Easy АНР procedure in QuantumGIS), and the main result – the land suitability map (according to the FAO classification) – was obtained using the ELECTRE TRI method (ELECTRE TRI procedure for QuantumGIS). Since the result of the ELECTRE TRI procedure are two decision maps: according to the pessimistic and optimistic scenarios, additional studies were carried out, on the basis of which it was possible to establish that the map obtained according to the optimistic scenario has a greater consistency with the natural conditions of the agricultural enterprise.

The paper presents the results of creating a material for obtaining an early ripening variety of fiber flax for cultivation in Siberia, characterized by high-quality fiber and a high degree of adaptability to external environmental factors, resistance to lodging and diseases. Twelve promising hybrids were studied, the maternal lines of which were represented by Tomsk varieties Tomskiy 16, Tomskiy 17, Tomskiy 18 and TOST 5, and the paternal lines – by Belgian selection varieties Marilyn, Suzanne and Hermes. Field studies were carried out in the subtaiga zone of Tomsk region and were preceded by spring and winter grain crops. Natural and climatic conditions corresponded to the needs of fiber flax for the cultivation of early and mid-ripening varieties. The resulting hybrid material was sown from 2013 in a selection nursery by pit planting on a specially prepared soil with a feeding area of 2.5 × 2.5 cm. In 2017–2019 hybrid lines were kept in nurseries of the second and third years of breeding. The hybrid lines’ potential was studied during the years which were different by meteorological conditions. Based on the results of this work, three tall hybrids were identified that had statistically significant differences with Tomskiy 16 standard and exceeded it by 5.8–7.6 cm in total height and 4.4–9.5 cm in the technical length of the stem. Nine hybrids showed high fiber content, exceeding the standard by 2.8-4.2%. These promising hybrid lines of fiber flax are recommended for use in the breeding process for high rates of maturity, productivity, fiber quality, adaptability to external environmental factors and resistance to lodging and diseases.

The results of the effect of immunomodulating biologically active drugs on the immune response of laboratory animals are presented. To study the processes, a model of experimental Rauscher leukemia was used in mice of pure lines. The morphological changes in the peripheral blood of Bagg Albino C (BALB / c) mice with experimental Rauscher's leukemia after the use of mononuclear stem cell and Subalin preparations were studied. Groups of animals were formed for the experiment: control and three experimental (infected). The animals of the experimental groups were examined simultaneously by intraperitoneal injection of the appropriate biomaterial. It was found that the use of mononuclear stem cells and Subalin does not prolong the life of infected animals. During the observation period, all infected mice died within 11 months. After infection with Rauscher leukemia, a quantitative and qualitative change in blood cells occurs. A shift to the left was noted in the leukogram, eosinophilia and monocytosis were revealed. In the process of experimental reproduction of the chronic form of the disease, the size of the spleen of mice was estimated. An increase in the spleen was observed in the experimental group of animals infected with the Rauscher leukemia virus on the 4th week after infection. It was found that Subalin has a pronounced effect on the leveling of hematological parameters and leukopoiesis in infected mice. In the group where stem cells were used together with the antigen, a slight decrease in the number of lymphocytes and an increase in stab and segmented neutrophils were recorded. In the experimental groups with the use of mononuclear stem cells and Subalin, an increase in young cells in the leukogram was noted.

Introduction: Inflating endotracheal tube cuffs using water instead of air before hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is common. The objective of this study was to assess cuff pressure (Pcuff), when the cuff was inflated using water, in normobaric conditions and during HBOT. Methods: This was a prospective, observational study taking place in hyperbaric centre and intensive care unit of the University Hospital of Lille. Every patient who required tracheal intubation and HBOT at 253.3 kPa (2.5 atmospheres absolute [atm abs]) was included. Pcuff was measured using a pressure transductor connected to the cuff inflating port. Measurements were performed at 'normobaria' (1 atm abs) and during HBOT at 2.5 atm abs. Results: Thirty patients were included between February and April 2016. Recordings were analysable in 27 patients. Mean Pcuff at normobaria was 60.8 (SD 42) cmH2O. Nineteen (70%) of patients had an excessive Pcuff (higher than 30 cmH2O). Coefficient of variation was 69%. Mean Pcuff at 2.5 atm abs was 51.6 (40.7) cmH2O, significantly lower than at normobaria (P < 0.0001). Coefficient of variation was 79%. In only five (18%) patients was Pcuff < 20 cmH2O at 2.5 atm abs. Conclusions: In normobaric conditions, when the cuff was inflated using water and not specifically controlled Pcuff was not predictable. The cuff was typically over-inflated exceeding safe pressure. During HBOT Pcuff decreased slightly.
The "Write Stuff": What Do We Know About Developmental Dysgraphia?
Authors: McBride Catherine , Cheah Zebedee Rui En
Published: January 2021

As researchers come to recognize the origins of dysgraphia, we can better suggest optimal approaches to remediation. In defining dysgraphia, we review the writing process, research on the development of writing, and various factors related to either spelling difficulties, visual-motor difficulties, or both, that might interfere in the process of writing. We conclude by exploring some potentially helpful remediation techniques that should be considered as educators, clinicians, researchers, teachers, and parents work together to ameliorate the potentially devastating consequences of dysgraphia.

Published: January 2021

Kamu yönetimi faaliyetlerinin gittikçe karmaşık hale geldiği günümüzde vatandaşların yönetim karşısında korunarak iyi yönetimin kurumsallaşmasına katkı sağlayan yargı dışı kurum ve mekanizmalar birçok ülkenin idari sistemine girmiştir. Yönetsel işleyişten kaynaklanan mağduriyetlerin giderilerek kamu yönetiminin denetlenmesinde etkili olan kurumlardan birisi ombudsmandır. Modern anlamda İsveç’te ortaya çıkmasını takiben göstermiş olduğu başarı ombudsman kurumunu dünyada yaygın hale getirmiştir.

Ombudsmanın iyi yönetimin tesisindeki katkısı bu kurumun Belçika tarafından benimsenmesini sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmanın sorusu Belçika Federal Ombudsmanının federal düzeyde iyi yönetimin inşası ve kurumsallaşmasını nasıl etkilediğidir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma metodlarından doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sorusuyla doğrudan ilgili olan kanun metinleri ve ombudsman raporları incelenerek içerik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın önemi federal ombudsmanın işleyişini mevzuat üzerinden incelemekle yetinmeyip iyi yönetim ilkelerini kararlarına nasıl uyguladığını ortaya koymasıdır.
Kurumsal Baskıların Çevresel Uygulamalar ve Firma Performansı Üzerindeki Etkileri: Bir Yeni Kurumsal Kuram Perspektifi
Authors: GÜRLEK Mert
Published: January 2021

Bu araştırmanın üç temel amacı bulunmaktadır. Araştırmanın birinci amacı, yeni kurumsal kuramdan yararlanarak normatif, zorlayıcı ve taklitçi baskılar olmak üzere üç kurumsal baskının çevresel uygulamalar üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Araştırmanın ikinci amacı, kurumsal baskılar ve firma performansı arasındaki ilişki mekanizmasını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak çevresel uygulamaların aracılık rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın üçüncü amacı, kurumsal baskılar ve çevresel uygulamalar arasında meşruiyet motivasyonunun düzenleyici bir rol oynayıp oynamadığını ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma verileri Ankara İlinde faaliyet gösteren sanayi firmalarından elde edilmiştir. Veri analizinde yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre zorlayıcı baskılar çevresel uygulamalar üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip değilken, normatif ve taklitçi baskılar çevresel uygulamalar üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahiptir. Ayrıca, normatif ve taklitçi baskıların firma performansı üzerindeki etkisinde çevresel uygulamalar aracılık rolü oynarken, kurumsal baskıların çevresel uygulamalar üzerindeki etkisinde meşruiyet motivasyonu herhangi bir düzenleyici role sahip değildir. Sonuç olarak bu araştırmanın kurumsal baskılar, çevresel uygulamalar ve firma performansı arasındaki ilişkilere ışık tutmakla beraber meşruiyet motivasyonun düzenleyici rolünü inceleyerek alanyazına katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Beklenen Güven Ölçeğinin Türkçe uyarlamasını, geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizlerini yapmaktır. Metodolojik çalışmanın örneklemini 412 yetişkin birey oluşturmuştur. Ölçeğin Türkçeye uyarlaması; çeviri, geri çeviri, uzman görüşlerinin alınması, ölçeğin oluşturulması, ilk test ve sonrasında yeniden test verilerinin toplanması aşamalarından oluşmuştur. Ölçek geçerlilik analizi için kapsam geçerlilik katsayısı hesaplanmış, yapı geçerliliği için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve madde ayırt edici gücü analizi yapılmıştır. Ölçek güvenilirliği için toplam ölçek ve alt boyutlarının iç tutarlılık göstergesi Cronbach alfa değerleri, zamana göre değişmezlik özelliği için t testi ile ilk ve yeniden test puanları üzerinden grup ve boyut düzeyinde karşılaştırma değerleri ve sınıf için korelasyon katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucu 15 maddeden oluşan ölçeğin tüm maddeleri korunmuştur. Ölçeğin Türkçe uyarlamasının kapsam geçerlilik katsayısı 0.98 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin Cronbach alfa değeri tüm ölçek için 0.765, beklenen art niyet boyutunun aritmetik ortalaması 3.63, standart sapması 0.65, sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı 0.974, Cronbach alfa değeri 0.814; beklenen iyi niyet boyutunun ise aritmetik ortalaması 3.34, standart sapması 1.06, sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı 0.927, Cronbach alfa değeri 0.725 bulunmuştur. Beklenen art niyet ve beklenen iyi niyet açısından katılımcılar değerlendirildiği zaman art niyet beklentisinin daha güçlü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Erkek katılımcıların kadın katılımcılara açısından her iki boyut açısından istatiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır.
