Background

Profound lymphopenia is an independent predictor of adverse clinical outcomes in sepsis. Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is essential for lymphocyte proliferation and survival. A previous phase II study showed that CYT107, a glycosylated recombinant human IL-7, administered intramuscularly reversed sepsis-induced lymphopenia and improved lymphocyte function. Thepresent study evaluated intravenous administration of CYT107. This prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was designed to enroll 40 sepsis patients, randomized 3:1 to CYT107 (10 µg/kg) or placebo, for up to 90 days.

Results

Twenty-one patients were enrolled (fifteen CYT107 group, six placebo group) at eight French and two US sites. The study was halted early because three of fifteen patients receiving intravenous CYT107 developed fever and respiratory distress approximately 5–8 h after drug administration. Intravenous administration of CYT107 resulted in a two–threefold increase in absolute lymphocyte counts (including in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells (all p < 0.05)) compared to placebo. This increase was similar to that seen with intramuscular administration of CYT107, was maintained throughout follow-up, reversed severe lymphopenia and was associated with increase in organ support free days (OSFD). However, intravenous CYT107 produced an approximately 100-fold increase in CYT107 blood concentration compared with intramuscular CYT107. No cytokine storm and no formation of antibodies to CYT107 were observed.

Conclusion

Intravenous CYT107 reversed sepsis-induced lymphopenia. However, compared to intramuscular CYT107 administration, it was associated with transient respiratory distress without long-term sequelae. Because of equivalent positive laboratory and clinical responses, more favorable pharmacokinetics, and better patient tolerability, intramuscular administration of CYT107 is preferable.

Published: March 2023

Objective

To investigated the influence of illness perceptions and other risk factors related to poor asthma control and quality of life in adult outpatients with asthma in China.

Methods

Patients with a confirmed asthma diagnosis were recruited from the outpatient clinic at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University in Shanghai. Sociodemographic, psychological, and asthma related variables were assessed in all participants. Patients’ illness perceptions, medication adherence, asthma control, and quality of life were assessed using validated questionnaires, such as the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS-A), the Asthma Control Test, and the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire. Multiple linear regressions and logistic regressions were used to examine the associations between illness perceptions, medication adherence behaviors, and disease outcome (i.e., asthma control and quality of life).

Results

A total of two hundred thirty-one (231) outpatients with asthma were included in this cross-sectional study, 80 of whom (34.6%) had asthma that was uncontrolled. Patients who perceived their life (β = − 0.197, p < 0.001) and emotions (β = − 0.294, p < 0.001) as severely affected by the illness were more likely to have a lower quality of life, findings that were statistically significant. Also, patients who believed they had a higher degree of personal control over their illness (β = 0.333, p < 0.001), and had better medication adherence (β = 0.250, p < 0.001) were found to have a better quality of life.

Conclusion

Our study indicated that illness perceptions and medication adherence have a significant impact on disease outcome. Both of these factors should be considered when determining the best health care practices or constructing a predictive intervention model for patients with uncontrolled asthma.
Deep reinforcement learning for data-efficient weakly supervised business process anomaly detection
Authors: Elaziz Eman Abd , Fathalla Radwa , Shaheen Mohamed
Published: March 2023

The detection of anomalous behavior in business process data is a crucial task for preventing failures that may jeopardize the performance of any organization. Supervised learning techniques are impracticable because of the difficulties of gathering huge amounts of labeled business process anomaly data. For this reason, unsupervised learning techniques and semi-supervised learning approaches trained on entirely labeled normal data have dominated this domain for a long time. However, these methods do not work well because of the absence of prior knowledge of true anomalies. In this study, we propose a deep weakly supervised reinforcement learning-based approach to identify anomalies in business processes by leveraging limited labeled anomaly data. The proposed approach is intended to use a small collection of labeled anomalous data while exploring a huge set of unlabeled data to find new classes of anomalies that are outside the scope of the labeled anomalous data. We created a unique reward function that combined the supervisory signal supplied by a variational autoencoder trained on unlabeled data with the supervisory signal provided by the environment’s reward. To further reduce data deficiency, we introduced a sampling method to allow the effective exploration of the unlabeled data and to address the imbalanced data problem, which is a common problem in the anomaly detection field. This approach depends on the proximity between the data samples in the latent space of the variational autoencoder. Furthermore, to efficiently model the sequential nature of business process data and to handle the long-term dependences, we used a long short-term memory network combined with a self-attention mechanism to develop the agent of our reinforcement learning model. Multiple scenarios were used to test the proposed approach on real-world and synthetic datasets. The findings revealed that the proposed approach outperformed five competing approaches by efficiently using the few available anomalous examples.

Published: March 2023

Strategic priorities for the development of regions are one of the elements of the economic policy of Kazakhstan. The appearance of depressed regions is often associated with an incorrect choice of a system of economic development priorities. In this research work, the authors present the factors of depressiveness of the regions due to the decrease in the competitiveness of the main industrial products, the reduction in the level of investment demand, the depletion of the mineral resource base or the implementation of structural changes in the economy, etc. A stable socio-economic economy of the region requires increasing the efficiency of resource use, encouraging the development of innovations, introducing regional mechanisms and tools for the sustainable development of territorial subjects. It is necessary to develop conceptual approaches to increase the interest of the subjects of the regions in the implementation of environmentally significant measures of the system, based on the stimulation of innovation. Measures are needed to solve the key problems of choosing the most effective incentive measures for a particular region, in conjunction with its features of socio-economic development, natural and climatic conditions, the state of the environment, etc.

Published: March 2023

This paper presents research conducted on urban home water use behavior as a response demand mitigation strategy to reduce domestic water consumption in SA. The paper presents results of urban home residents’ attitudes, behavior and perceptions towards their water consumption in a search for ways in which domestic demand for water may be substantially reduced. The analysis reflects the water use behavior and perceptions of urban dwellers in a period where water use rationing and restrictions are in place in parts of SA, therefore water scarcity is an important public crisis issue.

The research has brought to the fore the complexity of the forces shaping water demand and use in the context of the socio-demographic composition of homes residing in different types of dwellings, as well as the cultural, behavioral and attitudinal aspects of water consumption in city of Durban. The essential questions driving the research was what extent the two key dimensions of urban structure do, i.e. built form and the socio-behavioral characteristics of home water use, influence the pattern of water consumption. Additionally, the study ascertained the extent to which urban water users understood water-saving practices and the need to conserve this precious natural resource whilst also investigating the extent that the public believed were the most effective water-saving habits, interventions and communication methods to support reduced water consumption at a home level. In so doing, the study findings have aimed to inform public policy on ways to reduce consumption and identify alternative and complimentary ways to address the urban water conservation and demand management planning.
Study of the Current State, Problems and Potential of the Waste Management System Affecting the Development of the Green Economy of Kazakhstan

Published: March 2023

The article explores the main factors hindering the solution of environmental problems with waste in Kazakhstan, in particular with industrial waste and consumer waste. The paper assesses the main directions of the world practice of waste management and the possibility of their application in the development of the domestic system. An analysis of the management of industrial waste and consumer waste in the industrial Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan was carried out. An analysis of the presence and formation of production and consumption waste shows that the region is in the zone of influence of accumulated waste. The predominantly resource-raw material system of nature management, without taking into account natural conditions and environmental restrictions when locating industrial enterprises, led to the formation of zones and regions of increased anthropogenic impacts. The article shows that at the initial stage of development of the green growth strategy in Kazakhstan, there should be an economic policy, fixed by regulatory legal acts, especially on the issues of production and consumption waste management. Such a policy should take into account that a successful transition to green growth and minimizing the environmental impact of production and consumption wastes will require more efficient use of them as secondary resources. In turn, this will be the basis for the involvement of waste in the sphere of market relations and the attractiveness of this area for domestic and foreign investors.

In Thailand, Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is usually disposed of along with general waste, since people lack accurate knowledge and understanding of how to manage HHW. Additionally, the government agencies are short of the HHW management system. The purposes of this study were, 1) to investigate HHW management, and 2) to explore public participation in HHW management. The study area was Sok Kae Village. It is located around Huai-Luang Dam, which is considered an important water resource of Udon Thani Province. The results of the study revealed that most of HHW in Sok Kae Village consisted of fertilizer containers and pesticides because most people were agriculturists. Besides fertilization and pesticide products, containers of household cleaners were also found because people utilize them in their everyday life. Regarding public participation, it was found that people participated in HHW management at a low level. The personal information affecting the HHW management significantly was the income (P-value < 0.05). People in the village suggested that there should be particular boxes and places for HHW. Moreover, people felt that it would be advantageous for them to earn an income through HHW management. This study mainly focused on the importance of the study area, which is located near the water resource. Regarding chemical contamination from HHW, this would possibly bring about issues in human health, as well as environmental pollution. For HHW management, public participation should be considered, and government agencies need a solemn policy and management system to achieve success.

Environmental crime is dangerous in terms of the scale of the implications and the impact area. The resonance and specifics of environmental crimes require a special approach to the prevention and investigation of these crimes. The aim of the article was to systematize measures to prevent (counteract to) environmental crimes. The aim involved the following methods: statistical analysis, correlation analysis, generalization and analogy, hypothetico-deductive model and system-structural approach. Fundamental measures to prevent (counteract to) environmental crimes are defined. The countries with the largest and smallest number of environmental crimes were identified, including China, India, Vietnam, Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany. The relationship between the number of environmental crimes for 2015 to 2019 and the environmental tax relative to GDP for the period, as well as the number of environmental crimes for 2015 to 2019 and environmental protection expenditures was determined. Measures aimed at the prevention (counteraction) of environmental crimes are systematized, which consist of three interrelated levels: national, international cooperation and cooperation with the public, public organizations. The prospect of further research is to determine the organizational aspects of criminal law counteraction to cross-border environmental crime.

Published: March 2023

This research sought to simultaneously measure sedimentation and mangrove root growth rates at the Lasolo River estuary and construct a predictive sedimentation model from the measured rates. The applied methods were descriptive quantitative analyses using cloud-based computation to obtain sea surface temperatures, Landsat 8 and 9 OLI images to identify land cover change, field-derived data, and rain data. The neural network toolbox in MATLAB was used to perform the modeling. Results showed that sediments accumulated at the highest rate of 6.10 cm, and mangrove roots grew at an average of less than 1 cm per two weeks, meaning that the former always surpasses the latter. The forecasting model’s training and validation each produced a regression value (R) of 0.92 and 0.69 for sedimentation rates and R=0.83 and R=0.88 for root growth rates. Sedimentation rates continued to vary until the end of the observation, with a maximum of 3.91 cm. Although the root growth rates had a similar pattern (fluctuating), an upward trend with signs of acceleration to 0.62 cm was observed. This study also detected a conversion of vegetated land into open mining areas, which expanded, tentatively, from 645.8 ha in 2013 to 2,112.6 ha in 2022.

Published: March 2023

Ukrainian agriculture remains one of the most problematic sectors of the national economy, and revolutionary processes in rural areas are today in the center of attention of national scientists, politicians, and public representatives. The article carries out a scientific study related to the search for the fundamental reasons for the low effectiveness of reform decisions and actions implemented in Ukraine with the aim of bringing the level of development of Ukrainian rural areas closer to the EU standards. Such research can become the basis for forecasting trends in the development of rural areas of Ukraine in the medium and long term. It can also serve as a reliable basis for applied mechanisms of reforming the agro-industrial complex in the post-war period and the evolution of rural areas of Ukraine in the context of European integration.

It is noted that from the point of view of European integration, there is a natural, labor, technical, technological, scientific and information potential for the development of rural areas of Ukraine. At the same time, there is a need to find alternative approaches to the development of rural areas of Ukraine, in particular, focusing on those principles that ensure effective development of rural areas of EU member states.

Improving the economic security of the country and transitioning to a higher level of socio-economic development is impossible without the creation of a comprehensive, scientifically based strategy for the development of rural areas on the basis of sustainability.

Published: March 2023

Recreation is one of the key human needs, as the intensity of life on the planet is quite high. The issue of organizing places for rest is important. The aim of this work was to study the impact of press tours on the development of park recreation complexes. The research involved statistical data analysis and the methodology developed by the State Tourism Administration of Ukraine to determine the volume of tourist activity and attendance. Press tours of park recreation complexes were held on the territory of Ukraine, which has a rich natural tourist resource, while being a country with a low tourism development. It was found that they not only introduce the guests of the complexes into the attractions that exist on its territory, but also enable discussing the current problems with the aim of finding additional sources of funding for their solution. They can help to restore the infrastructure of the complexes and make them more attractive for visitors. Such arrangements contribute to the dissemination of information in mass media, social networks, blogs, as well as in well-known Ukrainian and foreign tourist publications. As a result, this contributes to the attraction of a larger number of visitors, their recreation spending growth because of the extended types of tourist activities on the territory of the complex. Park recreation complexes receive more profit in this way, part of which, along with financing the maintenance of the complex, can be spent on their development. So, it was established that press tours promote the development of park recreation complexes. The results of this study are of practical importance, as they can be used in tourism marketing.
