Resilience is characterized by ‘the ability to bounce back from challenge and adversity’. However, being Adolescent Living with HIV (ALHIV) give larger challenges on an individual throughout their life because of their characteristic and illness. After all, positive results such as resilience are also feasible, yet knowledge on resilience in ALHIV remains limited and resilience assessment methods continue to be debated and need further clarification of the concept of resilience is needed about this population. In recent years, empirical research on resilience has grown, criticism have been mostly concentrates on ambiguity definition and implications. This concept analysis aims to identify the concept of the resilience ALHIV by identifying the attributes that determine the concept, antecedents and consequences. This study tries to discover the traits that determine the concept of resilience in ALHIV using Walker and Avant’s approach, with searches performed in the CINAHL, PubMed, Science Direct and PsycInfo. The results of the analysis reveal the resilience antecedents of ALHIV such as coping strategy, illness acceptance, positive adaptation, self-efficacy, positive future expectation, emotional regulation, family support, school connectedness and healthcare support. The consequences of the concept of resilience in ALHIV include positive outcomes include improved adherence to treatment, psychological well-being, positive coping strategy, better school performance and positive social relationship.

Published: July 2024

Diabetes mellitus patients in Central Java grow yearly. According to data provided by the Central Java Health Department in 2019, Diabetes mellitus ranks second as the largest non-communicable disease (NCD), covering 13,4% of the total NCD patients. The prevalence of diabetic ulcers is 15-25% of all diabetes mellitus patients in Indonesia, which concerns the author regarding the possible increase of the diabetic ulcer population in Central Java. The severity of diabetic ulcers depends on various factors, including infection and complications. The most common complication is sepsis, a systemic infection often arising from local infections that are not appropriately treated, causing progressive damage and increasing mortality rates. This study aims to examine the comparison of ulcer severity in diabetic ulcer patients with sepsis and non-sepsis complications using Meggitt Wagner's criteria. This study utilizes an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional approach. The author sampled 126 patients diagnosed with Diabetic Ulcers in 2022 at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital for this study, using a purposive sampling method. The research was conducted by looking at the patient's medical record data, and data analysis using SPSS software. The test used in this research includes a Parametric T-independent test and a Pearson bivariate relationship test. This study shows that the comparison of ulcer severity in diabetic ulcer patients with sepsis and without sepsis was statistically significant (p-value = 0.000002). The mean of the group with sepsis (3.4127) was greater than the group without sepsis (2.5238). In conclusion, the comparison of ulcer severity in diabetic ulcer patients with sepsis and without sepsis is significant. We recommend future researchers include patients’ comorbidities, total hospitalization time, and detailed information on drug use and patient adherence to treatment in their research for more nuanced findings.

Published: July 2024

Diabetes mellitus and metabolic disorders are the priority programs in Indonesia. There is one program to reduce the fatality impact of diabetes which is diabetic self-management education (DSME). This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) on dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity.  This study is a quasi-experimental approach with one group pre-test post-test design. The sample in this study was 75 people with DM type II. The intervention for all samples was done for 4 sessions. Each session lasted 60 to 120 minutes/day with a maximum of 10 patients. The findings revealed that dietary habits were good from 56.0% to 69.3%, physical activity was good from 54.7% to 76.0%, and obesity decreased from 69.3% to 57.35, respectively for pre and post-test. The paired t-test result revealed that DSME correlates with dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity (obesity, physical activity, and dietary habit with p-values 0.024; 0.007; and 0.02, respectively). In conclusion, DSME has significantly influenced dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity. Education is crucial in promoting physical activity among individuals with diabetes. By enhancing self-efficacy, providing education on self-care behaviors, and emphasizing the importance of regular physical activity, these programs contribute to improving metabolic control, quality of life, and overall health outcomes in diabetic patients.

Published: July 2024

Hypertension is the cause of death in Indonesia, with 23.8% of the 1.7 million population. Management of primary hypertension is non-pharmacological therapy carried out by modifying lifestyle, namely increasing consumption of nuts that contain bioactive components that are beneficial for sufferers of primary hypertension, such as edamame (Glycine max (L.) Merrill). This study aims to determine how giving edamame jelly reduces blood pressure in primary hypertension patients. This research was quasi-experimental and used a pre-post-test control group design. The study population consisted of outpatients at the Sumbersari Jember Community Health Center who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, totaling 42 subjects. Subjects were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. The intervention group was given amlodipine 5 mg/day and edamame jelly 150 grams/day. The control group was only assigned 5 mg of amlodipine. Statistical tests use the Paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Mann-Whitney U-tests. The test results showed a significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the control and treatment groups with a p-value <0.001. The median systolic blood pressure of the control group was 147.5 mmHg, and that of the treatment group was 130 mmHg. The median diastolic blood pressure in the control group was 90 mmHg, and the treatment group's was 80 mmHg. The reduction in systolic blood pressure in the treatment group was 17.5 mmHg greater than in the control group. The decrease in diastolic blood pressure in the treatment group was 10 mmHg greater than in the control group. Giving 150 grams of edamame jelly/day for 30 days effectively reduces blood pressure in sufferers of primary hypertension.

Published: July 2024

The behavior of hypertension self-care management in the elderly is very important to be applied to reduce the prevalence of hypertension in rural areas. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with hypertension self-care management behavior in the elderly in rural areas based on the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). The research design uses analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was 150 elderly people with hypertension who lived in rural areas. The independent variables are perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived reward, response efficacy, self-efficacy, and intention. The dependent variable is hypertension self-care management behavior. Data collection uses the PMT and HSMBQ questionnaires. Bivariate analysis used the Spearman correlation test and multivariate analysis used linear regression with a significance level = 0.05. Bivariate test results found that perceived vulnerability (r=0.615 and p<0.05), perceived severity (r=0.497 and p<0.05), perceived reward (r=0.598 and p<0.05), efficacy response (r=0.510 and p<0.05), self-efficacy (r=0.477 and p<0.05), and intention (r=0.513 and p<0.05) related to hypertension self-care management behavior. Multivariate test results found that the PMT model associated with hypertension self-care management behavior includes perceived vulnerability (p<0.05), perceived severity (p<0.05), perceived reward (p<0.05), and self-efficacy (p<0.05). The value of R square = 0.519 indicates that the PMT model can predict 51.9% of self-care behavior. The dominant factor that can increase hypertension self-care management behavior is the perception of vulnerability. Nurses should be able to provide health education to improve hypertension self-care management behavior.

Published: July 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare pharmacologic intervention, neurocognitive therapy, physical therapy, and orthotics in treating the hypermobility subtype of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and determine which has the most positive effect on symptoms. Introduction: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is an inheritable connective tissue disorder which results from a genetic mutation that alters the body’s ability to produce collagen. The most common subtype of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is hEDS, which leads to hypermobility and hyperextensibility and can cause frequent joint dislocations. Methods: A review of literature was performed to compare each treatment based on reported results. The types of studies reviewed include systematic reviews, randomized clinical trials, review articles, cross sectional studies, and longitudinal studies. This study includes patients diagnosed with hEDS. Results: Data was analyzed from different studies and presented using various figures and tables to compare the effectiveness of each treatment modality. Discussion: Pain medications such as opioids and NSAIDs are the most commonly used treatment option, but they carry the risk of addiction and other side effects. Use of orthotics was the most successful treatment option in alleviating symptoms of hEDS. Conclusion: Pharmacologic intervention, neurocognitive therapy, physical therapy, and orthotics each have their own benefits in treating hEDS. Therefore, a combination of each therapy should be used to ensure the greatest positive effect on the symptoms of hEDS. Future research should focus on more direct comparisons of each treatment method to identify which modality consistently yields the best results.

Background:

Aggression, a common symptom of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), can impose a significant burden on caregivers, necessitating early institutionalization.

Objective:

The current study examined the neural basis of aggression and its expression mechanism, to advance the development of effective treatment strategies for aggression in patients with AD.

Methods:

The study sample included 257 patients; 180 were diagnosed with AD and 77 with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Factor analysis of the neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) aggression scores was performed, and the correlation between each factor and cerebral blood flow (CBF) was examined via diagnosis of AD or aMCI using statistical parametric mapping.

Results:

Refusal of care was correlated with reduced CBF in the right hippocampus of patients with AD while no specific related regions could be identified in patients with aMCI. Violent behavior was associated with decreased CBF in the right temporal pole and medial frontal lobe of patients with AD and aMCI.

Conclusions:

These findings suggest that aggression, measured using NPI includes two distinct symptoms, refusal of care and violent behavior, having different underlying neural bases.

Authors: Ahmed Mohamed Essam , Merino Inigo Garcia de Madinabeitia , Mehrgou Mehdi
Published: July 2024

The development of electric vehicles (EVs) presents the challenge of optimising electric machines to enhance efficiency, compactness, noise, vibration, harshness (NVH), and affordability, while reducing the dependence on heavy rare-earth materials to reduce the CO2 footprint of electric powertrains. This paper introduces a comprehensive optimization approach for the electromagnetic design of permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs), employing a combination of Design of Experiment (DoE) and Robust Neural Networks (RNN). The optimization framework is utilised to comprehensively address the multiple objectives of an electric machine, including efficiency, noise, vibration, harshness (NVH), and cost. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven modelling has resulted in significant performance improvements, achieving up to 96% total efficiency over the entire load cycle with substantial NVH reductions of up to 20 dB, while reducing the magnet rare earth materials by 35% compared to the baseline. Furthermore, this methodology reduces the simulation time by up to 90%, demonstrating the potential of combining neural network optimization with conventional finite element simulation techniques. The validation of the AI-driven optimization approach with the measurement of the baseline and optimised electric machines for efficiency and vibration is demonstrated for correlation.

Published: July 2024

The implementation of energy-efficient measures at the National University of Water and Environmental Engineering (NUWEE) was started since 2000. The buildings of NUWEE are located in different parts of Rivne city and Rivne region. Buildings № 1-7 were selected by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for financing their thermal modernization as part of the loan project "Higher Education of Ukraine. Energy efficiency and sustainable development" with the aim of increasing their energy efficiency. The authors analyzed the measures to increase the energy efficiency of the educational buildings of the NUWEE, namely, the installation of thermal insulation of facades, roofs, floors on the ground and first surfaces, replacement of windows and doors, installation of thermal insulation of pipelines, modernization of automated thermal energy regulation units (ATERU), heating system and lighting, implementation of the energy monitoring and dispatching system, installation of the ventilation system with exhaust air heat recovery. Implementation of the proposed measures will reduce energy consumption and related costs by 60 %, namely by 6,232 MWh/year (compared to the baseline level of energy consumption of 10,286 MWh/year). It will result increasing of the buildings’ comfort and functionality. After the implementation of the described measures, the increase of the energy efficiency class of educational buildings is predicted. The implementation of energy-efficient measures will also lead to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 50 %, namely by 1,648 t/year. Measures that can pay off as soon as possible are the implementation of thermal insulation of pipelines, modernization of ATERU and lighting, implementation of energy monitoring and dispatching systems. The longest payback period will require the installation of ventilation air heat recovery, but this measure is necessary in view of the current reduction in heat energy costs for heating the external supply air in the cold period of the year.
Inadequacies of Sommerfeld’s Front Velocity Definition
Authors: Kühn Steffen
Published: July 2024

Current practice defines the front velocity of a signal as the limit of the phase velocity for infinitely high frequency. However, the present article provides evidence that the propagation velocities of signal fronts for input signals of nonzero temporal duration can result from the phase velocities in the low-frequency range. In conclusion, although the impulse response propagates at the phase velocity for infinitely high frequency, this is not generally true for the step response.
Ruminal CO2 Holdup Monitoring: Acidosis Might Be Caused by CO2 Poisoning
Authors: Laporte-Uribe José Alberto
Published: July 2024

The ruminal buffering system composed of bicarbonate (HCO3-) and dissolved CO2 (dCO2) is indirectly related to the ruminal pH scale. While low pH generally indicates high dCO2 formation, the pH scale is ratio and fail to provide individual component concentrations. For instance, modern feeding practices can reduce ruminal CO2 gas effervescence from the ruminal fluid or "CO2 holdup". Under those conditions, not only dCO2 can reach critical concentrations, but the buffering system might favour HCO3- formation resulting in normal ruminal pH values, the quotient, regardless of the harmful dCO2 accumulation. Consequently, subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA), traditionally associated with low or variable pH, might be triggered by CO2 holdup. This study explores the application of an attenuated total reflectance infrared (ATR-IR) spectrometer for continuous dCO2 monitoring and CO2 holdup characterization. Three lactating dairy cattle were longitudinally exposed to diets designed to elevate both ruminal dCO2 and SARA risk. Indwelling pH sensors and ruminal fluid samples served as references, while a categorical analysis detected CO2 holdup from the output of the ATR-IR sensor. Milk yield, milk components, and feed intake supported the known positive role for high dCO2 in rumen function. However, SARA was associated with ruminal CO2 holdup, suggesting that prolonged exposure to critical dCO2 concentrations during extended postprandial periods might trigger SARA. Continuous dCO2 monitoring with the proposed methodology and analysis may offer a valuable tool for optimizing rumen function and prevent SARA risk.

Published: July 2024

We present the case of a 71-year-old man who developed sepsis caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus as a result of being bitten by his own dog. Positive blood cultures were obtained, but due to difficulties in determining the bacterial species, the patient was treated empirically with ceftriaxone and levofloxacin. After using the recommended empirical therapy, the patient's condition improved.
Capnocytophaga canimorsus is difficult to identify, among others, due to its long growth time and specific development conditions (capnophiles). These Gram-negative bacilli cause a number of diseases in humans, ranging from infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, through peritonitis, to sepsis. The portal of infection with these bacteria is most often a wound caused by an animal bite. Additional risk factors that increase the risk of developing a severe infection and even death include older age, concomitant chronic diseases, and immunosuppression.

The article considers the method of durability during wear of surface-hardened parts. The increase in the strength of equipment is primarily due not only to an increase in the reliability of its main components, aggregates, connections and parts, but also to a reduction in costs and fuel consumption during production processes. The surface quality of machine parts includes both geometric characteristics and physical and mechanical properties. The study of the influence of the roughness of working surfaces on their wear resistance has shown that the minimum surface roughness does not always ensure its high wear resistance. The relationship between wear resistance and mechanical parameters is always determined experimentally. The coefficient p is proposed as a generalized parameter, to determine which it is necessary to consider the combined effect of the parameters specified in the article. Apparently, as a generalized criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of the developed carbonitration regime, a parameter controlled by the hardness and strength of the core of the product, as well as the hardness and strength of the surface-hardened layer, should be used. In turn, the article considers a number of ways to express the critical stress intensity coefficient through the tensile strength and yield strength. The research took into account the well-known results of scientific work carried out at the Department of Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering on state budget and grant topics in the field of mechanical engineering.

The article explores the potential application of various solutions that allow monitoring noise and vibration to some extent on construction sites. Over 20 scientific articles presenting experimental research and experience with noise and vibration monitoring systems were reviewed. The articles were collected from leading journals indexed by scientometric databases. The reviewed articles were categorized into solutions for noise monitoring, vibration monitoring, and multifunctional solutions. As a result of the review of solutions in the field of acoustic monitoring, important trends and prospects for further research were identified. There is a recognized need for the development of more accurate methods for filtering background noise and accounting for the characteristics of different construction sites. Regarding solutions for vibration monitoring, the review revealed a need for a more in-depth investigation into the identification and classification of vibration sources for accurate assessment of their indicators. The review of multifunctional solutions and systems showed that additional research and testing are required for a full assessment of their effectiveness and applicability in practice. Successful implementation of such systems requires attention to their flexibility and the ability to install various types and scales on construction sites. Furthermore, emphasis should be placed on training personnel for the effective use of equipment or ensuring their qualifications match the ability to use vibroacoustic complexes.

Micro-pile drilling technology is often used today for the reconstruction and repair of buildings whose foundations are heavily loaded. Once installed, the piles take up part of this load. They can also be used to improve the load-bearing capacity of building foundations before the upper floors are built on top of them or before additional underground floors are constructed. Construction of buildings and structures in areas with complex soils is a special case. Buildings constructed in such conditions as a result of underground mining operations, soil movement into the excavated space and formation of a displacement trough on the ground surface are subjected to uneven settlement and horizontal deformations during operation. This paper presents the results of field tests of unreinforced Franki micro-pile (B-4350) unreinforced pile for soil reinforcement. Based on the obtained data, it can be concluded that the use of micro-piles to reinforce the foundations of reconstructed buildings provides a reduction in construction costs, labor costs and construction time, and as a consequence demonstrates their undeniable effectiveness. Application of micro-piles at reinforcement of strip foundations, in comparison with the traditional reinforcement design gives reduction of the estimated cost of construction (by 8 %), mainly due to reduction of the cost of operation of machines (by 46 %) and reduction of wages (by 24 %), though with some increase in the cost of materials (by 28 %), which somewhat levels out the general tendencies of cost reduction.

Objective: To investigate the impact of aerobic exercise on nitric oxide (NO) signal transduction and related cytokines in ApoE-/- mice and its underlying mechanisms. Methods: ApoE-/- mice were divided into a control group and an aerobic exercise group. An 8-week aerobic exercise intervention using a treadmill training model was conducted to determine the expression levels of NO signal transduction-related cytokines. Results: Aerobic exercise significantly increased the expression of NO and related cytokines in the plasma of ApoE-/- mice and reduced the level of inflammatory factors. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise can enhance NO signal transduction, reduce inflammatory responses, and improve the cardiovascular function of ApoE-/- mice.

Status and Prospects of Higher Education Cooperation between China and GCC Countries from the Perspective of the "Belt and Road" Initiative
Authors: Zhang Congzhao
Published: July 2024

GCC countries occupy a unique and indispensable position in the Belt and Road Initiative. It is crucial for China and GCC countries to foster humanistic exchanges and support talent development through cooperation in higher education. Since the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, China-GCC higher education cooperation has made significant progress, including the initial establishment of cooperation mechanisms, the consolidation of historical foundations in humanities and social sciences exchanges, and the creation of new opportunities for collaboration in science and technology. However, compared to Western countries, China-GCC higher education cooperation remains relatively weak and has substantial room for development. Future efforts can elevate this cooperation by promoting joint educational programs, establishing higher-level mechanisms for humanities exchanges, and deepening collaboration in frontier fields.
