Published: March 2024

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a health problem in Indonesia. Currently, the number of new TB cases in Indonesia ranks second after India. Patient compliance in using antituberculosis drugs is critical in achieving successful treatment outcomes, prevent further spread of the bacteria that cause TB and the development of drug resistance. Adherence to taking medication can be influenced by various factors, one of which is the level of knowledge.Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge about TB and medication adherence of TB patients at the Jakarta Islamic Hospital Pondok Kopi.Methods: This study was conducted from May to June 2022 with a cross sectional design.  The inclusion criteria in this study were TB patients who were over 18 years old, willing to become respondents, and had used antituberculosis drugs for at least one month. The level of knowledge about TB was assessed using a questionnaire and medication adherence was assessed using the MARS-5 questionnaire.Results: The number of respondents in this study was 83 patients. Most patients were male (57.83%), less than 60 years old (83.13%), and had a high school education (53.01%). The results showed that most patients (73.47%) had a good level of knowledge and were compliant with taking medication (77.11%). The level of patient knowledge about TB has a significantly moderate and positive correlation with the level of adherence in taking medication (p 0.001; r 0.517).Conclusion: increasing patients’ knowledge about TB can lead to better patients’ adherence, which may lead to better treatment outcome.

THE MADNESS OF TWO HEROES: HERACLES AND MARKO KRALJEVIĆ
Authors: Vukadinović Snežana , Radulović Ifigenija
Published: March 2024

The motif of insanity was quite frequent in Ancient Greek Literature. In turns, it was viewed as obsession, illness, or just and justified punishment. Insanity always brought some kind of self-inspection and self-cognition. Heracles is an ancient hero who committed a crime against his closest relatives in a state of severe madness. The Serbian epic hero Marko Kraljević shared a similar fate. The authors of the paper will investigate the motives of insanity of both heroes in two different, but traditionally close cultures: Greek and South Slavic. The motif of heroic madness is explored in tragedies related to Heracles, and in Serbian epic poetry known as the epic cycle of Marko Kraljević.

Constant-sized self-tests for maximally entangled states and single projective measurements
Authors: Volčič Jurij
Published: March 2024

Self-testing is a powerful certification of quantum systems relying on measured, classical statistics. This paper considers self-testing in bipartite Bell scenarios with small number of inputs and outputs, but with quantum states and measurements of arbitrarily large dimension. The contributions are twofold. Firstly, it is shown that every maximally entangled state can be self-tested with four binary measurements per party. This result extends the earlier work of Mančinska-Prakash-Schafhauser (2021), which applies to maximally entangled states of odd dimensions only. Secondly, it is shown that every single binary projective measurement can be self-tested with five binary measurements per party. A similar statement holds for self-testing of projective measurements with more than two outputs. These results are enabled by the representation theory of quadruples of projections that add to a scalar multiple of the identity. Structure of irreducible representations, analysis of their spectral features and post-hoc self-testing are the primary methods for constructing the new self-tests with small number of inputs and outputs.
Beyond-adiabatic Quantum Admittance of a Semiconductor Quantum Dot at High Frequencies: Rethinking Reflectometry as Polaron Dynamics
Authors: Peri L. , Oakes G. A. , Cochrane L. , Ford C. J. B. , Gonzalez-Zalba M. F.
Published: March 2024

Semiconductor quantum dots operated dynamically are the basis of many quantum technologies such as quantum sensors and computers. Hence, modelling their electrical properties at microwave frequencies becomes essential to simulate their performance in larger electronic circuits. Here, we develop a self-consistent quantum master equation formalism to obtain the admittance of a quantum dot tunnel-coupled to a charge reservoir under the effect of a coherent photon bath. We find a general expression for the admittance that captures the well-known semiclassical (thermal) limit, along with the transition to lifetime and power broadening regimes due to the increased coupling to the reservoir and amplitude of the photonic drive, respectively. Furthermore, we describe two new photon-mediated regimes: Floquet broadening, determined by the dressing of the QD states, and broadening determined by photon loss in the system. Our results provide a method to simulate the high-frequency behaviour of QDs in a wide range of limits, describe past experiments, and propose novel explorations of QD-photon interactions.

This research aims to identify students' statistical literacy abilities, and this type of research is descriptive qualitative. The subjects in this research consisted of 24 Sociology Education students from Muhammadiyah University of Kupang taking statistics courses in the 2023/2024 academic year. The instrument used is an assignment consisting of 2 questions. Data analysis was done by analyzing students' answer documents to complete the assignments given. Students' statistical literacy abilities are identified using five statistical literacy competencies: understanding statistical concepts, insight into the application of statistical concepts, calculation and graphing skills, interpretation abilities, and visualization and communication skills. The research results show that more than 50% of students can fulfill statistical literacy competencies such as understanding statistical concepts, numeracy, interpretation, and communication skills. However, less than 50% of students do not meet competency in insight into the application of statistical concepts and visualization skills. Students' abilities in essential statistical literacy competencies still need to be improved because most students still have limitations in these competencies.

Monitoring is a major component of asthma management in children.
Regular monitoring allows for diagnosis confirmation, treatment
optimization and natural history review. Numerous factors that may
affect disease activity and patient wellbeing need to be monitored:
response and adherence to treatment, disease control, disease
progression, comorbidities, quality of life, medication side-effects,
allergen and irritant exposures, diet and more. However, the
prioritization of such factors and the selection of relevant assessment
tools is an unmet need. Furthermore, rapidly developing technologies
promise new opportunities for closer, or even ‘real-time’, monitoring
between visits. Following an approach that included needs assessment,
evidence appraisal and Delphi consensus, the PeARL Think Tank, in
collaboration with major international professional and patient
organizations, has developed a set of 24 recommendations on pediatric
asthma monitoring, to support healthcare professionals in
decision-making and care pathway design.

Background: Outcomes of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with
bone sarcomas inclusive of osteosarcoma (OGS) and Ewing’s sarcoma (ES)
are impacted by various factors including inadvertent prior treatment
and poor compliance. We aimed to identify prognostic factors and derive
prognostic models for these patients. Methods: All AYA OGS and
ES cases treated at our institute with the “OGS-12” and Ewing’s family
of tumors-2001 (“EFT-2001”) protocols from 2011 to 2021, and 2013 to
2018 respectively, were prospectively analyzed. Results:. Among
606/748 (81.0%) AYA with non-metastatic osteosarcoma, significant
factors included in the prognostic model were failure to complete
protocol (hazard ratio (HR) 2.65, 95% confidence interval (CI)
1.65-4.26), prior treatment (HR 2.93, CI 1.4-6.1), necrosis
<90% (HR 1.63, CI 1.24-2.1), joint involvement (HR 2.0, CI
1.49-2.69) and SAP> median (204 U/l) (HR 1.63, CI
1.24-2.14). Of 104/263 (39.5%) AYA ES, significant factors were failure
to complete protocol (HR 2.84, CI 1.03-7.8), prior treatment (HR 6.37,
CI 1.8-22.0), necrosis <100% (HR 8.73, CI 2.16-35.3), and
tumor size >8cm (HR 2.64, CI 1.04-6.7). For 142/366
(38.8%) AYA with metastatic OGS, significant factors were failure to
complete protocol (HR 5.29), metastases not amenable to local treatment
(HR 1.96), necrosis <90% (HR 1.96), and >10
metastases (HR 2.44). For 38/82 (43.6%) AYA with metastatic extremity
ES, significant factors were failure to complete protocol (HR 3.88) and
metastases not amenable to local treatment (HR 10.6).
Conclusion: We developed simple, effective prognostic models
for AYA with bone sarcomas with wide applicability in LMIC.
Submesoscale processes in the Kuroshio Loop Current: roles in energy cascade and salt and heat transports
Authors: Tang Tian , Zhang Zhiwei , Zhang Jinchao , Zhang Xincheng , Sun Zhongbin , Feng Zhe
Published: March 2024

The Kuroshio Loop Current (KLC) is an important form of Kuroshio
intrusion into the northeastern South China Sea (NESCS), which has
significant influences on dynamical and biogeochemical processes in the
NESCS. Recent studies suggested that the KLC is a hot spot of
submesoscale processes (submesoscales) with spatiotemporal scales of
O(1–10) km and O(1–10) days, but submesoscales’ roles in energy
cascade and salt and heat transports remain obscure. Here, we
investigate this issue through analyzing outputs from a 1/48°
simulation. The kinetic energy exchange rate between submesoscale and
larger-scale processes (KER) is overall positive in the KLC region,
which suggests the dominance of forward cascade. The magnitude of KER is
comparable with the temporal change rate of larger-scale kinetic energy
in the upper 200 m. We also find that magnitude and direction of KER are
closely associated with strain rate and horizontal divergence of
background flows, respectively. In addition, the KLC region shows
elevated submesoscale salinity and heat diffusivities with magnitudes
reaching O(102) m2s-1. During the KLC period, horizontal mixing by
submesoscales can transport 0.90×1013 kg salt and 0.71×1020 J heat
westward into the NESCS interior, which are an order of magnitude larger
than those caused by the KLC eddy shedding. These results suggest that
submesoscales play important roles not only in energy cascade but also
in salt and heat transports in the KLC region. Therefore, the roles of
submesoscales should be taken into account when studying energy, salt,
and heat budgets in the NESCS.
Evaluation of Slope Stability on Dam Using Ground-based Interferometric Radar
Authors: Park Seongcheon , Hong Sanghoon
Published: March 2024

Dams are man-made structures built to manage water resources efficiently and prepare for natural disasters such as droughts and floods. It requires careful and continuous inspection to prevent its failure. Research reported to assess dam stability using terrestrial surveys such as ground penetration radar, electrical resistivity tomography, and remote sensing methods such as space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Differential interferometric SAR (DInSAR) calculates the phase difference between two consecutive images acquired at separate times and has been widely utilized to detect surface displacement from volcanoes, earthquakes, and ground subsidence. However, space-borne InSAR applications have limitations in acquiring flexible data for specific dates or regions due to the revisit cycle of the orbital configuration and the fixed acquisition geometry. In this feasibility study, the slope stability of the dam was evaluated using the Gamma Portable Radar Interferometer-II (GPRI-II) which has the advantage of overcoming the limitation of satellite observations. The GPRI-II is a ground-based real aperture radar that operates in the Ku-band wavelength (~1.7 cm), providing convenient portability and installation for high spatial and temporal resolution. A total of 20 GPRI-II datasets were acquired for 22 minutes on June 7, 2023, at a dam in Jeollanam-do for the DInSAR application. The displacement calculation revealed an average displacement of approximately -0.36 mm at a randomly selected point, which is negligible. The average displacement of -0.17 mm was observed for the entire dam. Our results suggest that ground-based radar interferometry could assess the dam slope stability.

Published: March 2024

Simple, accurate and sensitive spectrophotometric, chemometric and chromatographic methods were used for the simultaneous determination of emtricitabine (ETC) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in tablets. In 1st derivative spectrophotometry, the first derivative spectra of the solution of ETC and TDF in water were recorded as ?? = 4 nm and the first derivative absorbances were measured at the zero-crossing points at 297.3 and 281.2 nm for ETC and TDF, respectively. In ratio of the 1st derivative spectrophotometry measurements were recorded at 239.0 and 270.2 nm for ETC and TDF, respectively. Then analytical signals were measured at the wavelengths corresponding to either maximum or minimum for both drugs. For these spectrophotometric methods Beer?s law is obeyed in the concentration range of 2?15 ?g mL-1 for both drugs. As chemometric method, the PLS technique was used. In chromatographic method, the separation was achieved on a C18 column with DAD (262 nm) and isocratic elution of methanol, acetonitrile and 0.1 % orthophosphoric acid in the volume ratio of 40:40:20, respectively, containing the mobile phase. The mean recovery and the relative standard deviation of the methods were found as 97.51?100.17 % and 0.55?1.26 % respectively. All these methods were statistically compared, and they were successfully applied to a pharmaceutical preparation.

Published: March 2024

Background/Aim. Thyroid nodules are usually asymptomatic and may occur in 68% of the general population. In most cases, they are discovered incidentally. As malignancy is proven in 10?15% of cases, a rational diagnostic approach is necessary. The aim of this retrospective study was to examine and grade different characteristics of patients with nodular and multinodular atoxic goiter in order to identify the potential predictors for the assessment of thyroid cancer risk. Methods. The study included 275 patients with nodular and multinodular atoxic goiter hospitalized at the Clinic for Endocrinology of the Military Medical Academy, Belgrade, Serbia, from January 1, 2017, to October 1, 2022, for preoperative preparation. The most relevant clinical, biohumoral, and pathomorphological characteristics were analyzed. Results. Patients with multiple thyroid nodules were older (57.21 ? 13.16 vs. 49.36 ? 15.83 years, p < 0.001) and had higher body mass index (29.12 kg/m2 vs. 26.50 kg/m2, p = 0.004) compared to patients with one nodule. On the other hand, patients with one thyroid nodule had a higher level of the thyroid-stimulating hormone than patients with multiple nodules (1.73 mIU/L vs. 1.21 mIU/L, p < 0.0001). Comparison of patients with and without proven thyroid cancer has shown a highly significant association between the higher categories of Bethesda classification and the presence of cancer (Bethesda IV?VI vs. Bethesda II?III, 52.2% vs. 22.3%, respectively, p = 0.002). Conclusion. Considering all the observed parameters, the cytological finding of fine needle aspiration biopsy emerged as the only one with predictive relevance for assessing thyroid cancer risk.

Published: March 2024

Objective

Care partners play an important role in diabetes management of people with diabetes. Although deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) adults experience diabetes at a higher rate than their hearing counterparts, there is a lack of information regarding the experience of care partners assisting those in the DHH community. There is a need to identify intentional support for this population. The purpose of this study was to explore how care partners of DHH people with diabetes provide helpful and unhelpful support, the care partner experience of providing support, and care partners’ perceived diabetes self-management education, support needs, and recommendations.

Research Design and Methods

We engaged a community advisory board of care partners to DHH people with diabetes to explore how care partners provide support, their individual experiences in providing support, and their suggestions for diabetes self-management education. We used thematic analysis to analyze individual and collective responses.

Results

Three emergent themes were identified suggesting that care partners give support in a variety of ways, are often overwhelmed in meeting the demanding and ongoing needs of DHH people with diabetes, and have a multitude of suggestions for implementing a future diabetes care partner education program. We also identified some DHH population-specific challenges to diabetes care, including communication barriers with health care providers, inability to use hearing cues if a person with diabetes experiences a fall, and limited access to diabetes care education in sign language.

Conclusion

These findings highlight a need to provide more support for care partners of DHH people with diabetes and to address the needs of DHH populations to ensure more equitable diabetes care. Further research is needed to adequately inform successful interventions for DHH people with diabetes and their care partners.

Ectopia Lentis in Three Successive Generations: A Case Series Study
Authors: SMUL Kadir
Published: March 2024

Aim: To describe the clinical profiles of patients of three successive generations of a Bangladeshi family affected by familial ectopia lentis. Methods: A case series study was conducted in a tertiary eye hospital in Bangladesh from 2015 to 2019. We evaluated twentythree people of the same family of three successive generations. Among them, thirteen patients were affected by familial ectopia lentis. Several patients from all three generations underwent elaborate general examinations to rule out systemic and metabolic disorders. Results: Among thirteen patients, eleven had bilateral Ectopia lentis. Among six adult patients, three had bilateral cataracts. ICCE was done on one patient from 2nd generation (pedigree 7) in another eye hospital. The other two patients (Pedigree-2 and 9) were blind; among seven child patients, four developed cataracts. One was visually significant and underwent PPL with AVT (Pedigree-14). Visual rehabilitation was done with aphakic glass. The other three children had cataracts but not in the pupillary area - not visually significant. No systemic associations were found except one who was suspected of Marfan syndrome. Conclusions: Not only many patients in one family but also the occurrence in three generations is exceptional for Ectopia Lentis Syndrome. The autosomal recessive mode was found in other studies, but this family pedigree analysis favoured an autosomal dominant inheritance. Emphasis is needed on the importance of regular follow-up and management.

Arvioinnin epävarmuus ja sen vaikutukset arvioinnin laatuun suomen kielen puhumisen taidon testiarvioinnissa
Authors: Honko Mari , Neittaanmäki Reeta
Published: March 2024

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan koulutettujen kielitaidon arvioijien arviointivarmuutta ja sen vaikutusta arvioinnin laatuun aikuisten suomenoppijoiden puhumisen taidon testiarvioinnissa. Aineisto koostuu 12 059 tehtäväkohtaisesta puhumisen taitotasoarviosta ja arvioinnin aikana tehdyistä muistiinpanoista sekä kyselytiedosta. Analyysimetodeina käytetään laadullista sisällönanalyysia ja sisällön erittelyä sekä tilastollisia menetelmiä. Tulosten perusteella arvioijat olivat pääsääntöisesti varmoja antamistaan puhumisen taitotasoarvioista mutta jäivät silti ainakin satunnaisesti epävarmaksi arvioistaan. Kun epävarmuutta esiintyi, se kohdistui tyypillisesti tietyn suorittajan tehtäväkokonaisuudessa vain yhteen tehtäväkohtaiseen arvioon. Arvioijat nimesivät epävarmuudelle useita syitä. Arviointikokemuksen pituus vuosina ei ollut yhteydessä arviointivarmuuteen. Epävarmuuden määrä vaihteli arvioinnin eri vaiheissa siten, että epävarmuus oli suurinta arvioinnin alussa ja lisääntyi myös toisen arvioijan aiemmin arvioitujen suoritusten saapuessa kaksoisarviointiin. Epävarmuuden kohdentuminen oli pitkälti yksilöllistä, sillä kaksoisarvioiduissa suorituksissa arvioijien epävarmuus kohdistui pääosin eri puhujien suorituksiin. Koettu epävarmuus ei vaikuttanut arvioinnin laatuun eli sen johdonmukaisuuteen tai ankaruuteen/lempeyteen. Arvioinnin laatutekijöistä ja riittävästä arviointivarmuudesta huolehtiminen on kuitenkin tärkeää, jotta epävarmuus ei kuormita arvioijia liikaa ja jotta arvioinnin luotettavuus säilyy.
