Konsep Permakultur Sebagai Metode Pengendalian Serangan Tikus pada Jagung Manis di Pertanian Perkotaan
Authors: Azis Asti Irawanti , Ratih Ratih , Andraini Dea Ekaputri
Published: November 2023

Jagung merupakan sumber pangan terpenting setelah padi yang mudah dikembangkan pada pertanian di perkotaan (urban farming). Kendala yang sering dijumpai dalam pertanian di perkotaan adalah serangan  tikus. Penggunaan pestisida kimia untuk mengendalikan tikus masih menjadi cara yang paling banyak digunakan tetapi menjadi penyebab pencemaran lingkungan dan kesehatan. Permakultur merupakan konsep pertanian yang inovatif dan sinergis berdasarkan keanekaragaman tanaman, ketahanan, produktivitas alami, dan berkelanjutan yang dapat diterapkan sebagai upaya pengelolaan hama terpadu. Keunggulan lain dari permakultur adalah menghasilkan berbagai jenis hasil pangan tanpa memerlukan lahan yang luas, sehingga konsep ini dapat menjadi solusi untuk keterbatasan lahan dan upaya pemenuhan pangan di perkotaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsep permakultur dapat diterapkan pada pertanaman urban farming yang mampu mencegah serangan tikus khususnya pada jagung manis. Serangan tikus pada jagung manis di pertanaman monokultur dimulai pada 21 HST dan mencapai 53% pada pengamatan 49 HST sedangkan pada pertanaman permakultur tidak terdapat serangan tikus (0%). Gejala serangan yang ditunjukkan berupa adanya bekas gigitan pada pangkal bawah batang jagung yang menyebabkan tanaman jagung manis patah, roboh, dan akhirnya mati.
Corn is the most important food crops after rice which is easy to grow in urban farming. Obstacles encountered in urban farming are rat attacks. The use of chemical pesticides to control rats is still the most widely used method, but it becomes environmental and health pollution. Permaculture is an innovative and synergistic agricultural concept based on plant diversity, resilience, natural productivity and sustainability which can be applied as an integrated pest management effort. Another advantage of permaculture is that it produces various types of food without requiring large areas of land, so this concept can be a solution for limited land and efforts to fulfill food needs in urban areas. The results showed that the concept of permaculture can be applied to urban farming which is able to prevent rat attacks, especially on sweet corn. Rat attacks on sweet corn in monoculture plantings started at 21 DAP and reached 53% at 49 DAP observations, while there was no rat attack on permaculture plantations (0%). Symptoms of the attack are shown in the form of bite marks on the lower base of the corn stalks which cause the sweet corn plants to break, collapse, and eventually die.

PECULIARITIES OF VOLUNTEERING, PUBLIC SECTOR AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP ACTIVITY’ IN CRISIS CONDITIONS
Authors:   Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, Nahorna Nadiiya
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the research of volunteering activity, the public sector and social entrepreneurship in crisis conditions. Based on the results of domestic scientific research and practical experience, the author points out that several features can be identified in view of such social activity. Among them: the category of persons to whom support is provided; the field of services in which support is provided; contact with recipients of assistance; period of implementation of support; period of work with a crisis situation; subject of support. Thus, the author includes various categories of people who are in difficult life (crisis) circumstances (internally displaced persons, war veterans and their family members, youth, children, people with disabilities and the elderly, victims of gender-based, sexual and physical violence and their relatives, military personnel and mobilized persons and many others). The sphere of services in which support is provided includes: household, medical, psychological, pedagogical, environmental and security. Contact with recipients of assistance is characterized as: similarity of experience of persons who provide support to the appropriate category of needy; belonging to the category of recipients of support is determined by family ties; professional conditioning of contact; mediated interaction. As for the period of implementation of support, it is defined as follows: one-time volunteer assistance, for the duration of the social project, permanent basis of social influence in the activities of social enterprises, upon request for the implementation of specific tasks. The period of work with a crisis situation is disclosed as follows: prevention of the occurrence or further development of difficult life circumstances, work on the fact of a crisis situation. Subjects of aid are defined as service providers for persons who find themselves in crisis conditions, and these are: volunteers, representatives of public organizations and charitable foundations, social enterprises.

Authors:   G.S. Kostiyk Institute of Psychology of the NAЕS of Ukraine, Zinchenko Oleksandr
Published: November 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyze studies of the psychological peculiarities of student youth in the context of social processes related to the Russian-Ukrainian war. The implementation of this research objective is based on the usage of a set of theoretical methods - analysis, synthesis, generalization, and modeling. It has been determined that the actual directions of scientific research on this issue are the study of the emotional sphere of young people, adaptation to military conditions of students, and their psychological characteristics in the context of distance learning. It has been determined that the emotional sphere of students is characterized by anxiety, depression, predominance of verbal aggression, and irritability. The factors of student stress are various and depend on the specific course of hostilities. Adaptation to the educational process in the conditions of war is complicated by the loss of motivation to study, lack of systemic psychological assistance, and potential discrimination. Conditions of wartime change attitudes toward the chosen profession which can potentially change the evaluation of personal future. It has been determined that the key changes in the conditions of war are carried out in such mental phenomena of student youth as the emotional sphere, motivation to study, professional self-awareness, and professional orientation. The practical value of the obtained results consists in the substantiation of planning and implementation of psychological assistance programs for higher education students. Prospects for further research on the problem are seen in planning and conducting empirical studies of the cognitive, emotional, and communicative spheres of student youth in conditions of war.

Introduction. Hook nail deformity is a common complication following fingertip amputations. Loss of distal bone support and palmar pulp tissue, results in the volar curving of the nailbed, which may cause pain, and aesthetic and functional problems. A few procedures have been described to address nail deformity, including flaps, skin and bone grafts, and microsurgical transfer. Unfortunately, none of the techniques provides reliably good and persistent correction. Case report. An 8-year-old boy sustained amputation of the distal phalanx of the middle finger and underwent surgical closure of the wound. After 4 years, the patient was admitted to our Department due to a deformed hook nail, which was aesthetically distressing. The hook nail was curved volarly and obliquely. The radiographs showed the lack of a significant part of the distal phalanx. Treatment. Surgical reconstruction of deficient distal phalanx was performed. The iliac bone graft, inserted into the distal phalanx, was stabilized with two K wires. A Pedicled flap of full-thickness from the thenar was used to cover skin loss over the fingertip. Pedicle division was performed at around 4 weeks. “K” wires were removed after 4 months. Results. The procedure was well-tolerated by the patient, and no complications occurred. Bone graft provided solid support for the nail bed during healing. Adequate growth and aesthetics of the hook nail were achieved. At 2 years follow-up, slight rotation of the nail was observed, which could have resulted from partial graft resorption and growth of the patient. The patient was satisfied with the treatment. Conclusions. Although perfect restoration of the nail bed length and pulp contour remains unobtainable, our result showed stable correction of the hook nail deformity.

Introduction. Fat pads of the human knee joint are relatively well-known structures except for the pericruciate fat pad (PCFP). Aim. The study aimed to describe (1) the anatomy of the pericruciate fat pad (PCFP) and (2) its relation to the middle genicular artery (MGA). Materials and methods. Four male cadaveric lower limbs were dissected. PCFP was excised, and its horizontal and vertical lengths and volume were measured. The presence of MGA was assessed, and its internal diameter was registered. Results. PCFP was located in the intercondylar fossa. Its superior, inferior, medial&lateral and posterior borders were the intercondylar roof, tibial plateau, femoral condyles, and posterior knee capsule, respectively. The anterior part of the PCFP enveloped the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). PCFP had a homogenous appearance of adipose tissue with small lobules. It was connected to the PCL with a fibrous process. The mean horizontal&vertical length and volume were 56.85±3.4 mm (range 52.1-60.2 mm), 42.8±5.8 mm (range 34.2-46.1 mm) and 43.75±4.79 ml (range 40-50 ml), respectively. The MGA penetrated the PCFP in all four examined limbs; its mean diameter was 1.18±0.33 mm (range 0.8-1.55 mm). Conclusions. PCFP is a relatively large structure, with MGA present within all examined cases. Care must be taken when performing surgeries involving the posterior intra-articular part of the knee because the PCFP may present an underestimated potential for oedema and bleeding.

Published: November 2023

While the extent to which individuals engage in and enjoy cognitive abilities, commonly known as need for cognition (NFC), has been suggested to promote adaptive behaviors associated with well-being, there has not been a systematic examination of the strength of the relationship between NFC and well-being. This meta-analysis sought to examine the association between NFC and well-being. Based on 108 effect sizes extracted from 52 samples (50 records), a small to medium positive relationship (r = .20, 95% CI = [.16, .23], p < .001) between NFC and well-being was observed. Sub-group analyses revealed that NFC was associated with different aspects of well-being, including life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, purpose in life, self-acceptance, personal growth, environmental mastery, positive relations with others, autonomy, depression, anxiety and stress (|r|s = [.07, .45]). Exploratory moderation analyses showed that age moderated the relationship between NFC and well-being, whereby the positive relationship was stronger in younger samples. The gender proportion of the sample also moderated the relationship between NFC and well-being for certain specific measures of well-being, whereby the positive relationship between NFC and well-being was stronger among females.
Assessing Novelty, Feasibility, and Value of Creative Ideas with an Unsupervised Approach Using GPT-4
Authors: Kern Felix Benjamin , Wu Chien-Te , Chao Zenas C
Published: November 2023

Creativity is defined by three key factors: novelty, feasibility, and value. While many creativity tests focus primarily on novelty, they often neglect feasibility and value, thereby limiting their reflection of real-world creativity. In this study, we employ GPT-4, a large language model, to assess these three dimensions in a Japanese-language Alternative Uses Test (AUT). Using a crowdsourced evaluation method, we acquire ground truth data for 30 question items and test various GPT prompt designs. Our findings show that asking for multiple responses in a single prompt, using an "explain first, rate later" design, is both cost-effective and accurate (r= 0.62, 0.59, and 0.33 for novelty, feasibility, and value, respectively). Moreover, our method offers comparable accuracy to existing methods in assessing novelty, without the need for training data. Our results contribute a straightforward platform for instant AUT evaluation and provide valuable ground truth data for future methodological research.
Development of comprehensive calibration models for pulp traits by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for pure species and hybrids of Corymbia and Eucalyptus

Published: November 2023

Corymbia hybrid has emerged as a complimentary pulpwood in India along with Eucalyptus camaldulensis and eucalypt hybrids for enhancing the profitability of the industry and the income of farmers. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers a rapid non-destructive method for estimating wood and pulp traits of short rotation trees. Development of NIR calibration models in Corymbia is essential for quick selection and rapid advancement of pulp wood traits. A study was carried out to develop a combined calibration curve for pure E. camaldulensis and Corymbia species and their interspecific hybrids. Wood samples were extracted from four-year-old 300 trees of Corymbia torelliana (CT), C. citriodora (CC), C. variegata (CV) and E. camaldulensis (EC) and their interspecific hybrids from progeny evaluation trials at three different locations in south India. The wood logs and powdered core samples were analyzed for kraft pulp yield (KPY), lignin and S|G ratio by wet chemistry and NIRS method. The KPY values of CC and CV ranged from 44 to 52%, whereas CT, a maternal parent in CT x CC|CV hybrids, had a narrow range of 38-46.5%. However, the interspecific hybrids of CT x CC|CV exhibited a range with higher values from 48.5 to 50.5%, indicating a narrow scope for predicting hybrids from that of parent’s standard calibration curves. The estimated values in pure species of Corymbia for lignin content ranged from 22.7 to 29.2 % and 1.9 to 3.1 for S|G ratio, while in hybrids it was 25.6 to 29.4 for lignin. The correlation coefficients for cross-validation of KPY in CC, CV, CT and their hybrids were 0.8, 0.81, 0.89 and 0.72, respectively, and root mean square errors (RMS) were 0.8, 0.55, 0.73 and 0.31, respectively. When CC and CV samples were pooled to generate a common prediction model, the correlation coefficients were 0.8 for KPY, 0.75 for lignin and 0.83 for S|G ratio, with RMS of 0.68 for both KPY and lignin, and 0.12 for S|G ratio. Corymbia hybrids were evaluated with 99% accuracy using a combined prediction model of pure Corymbia species and hybrids. The method was validated with 80 samples of pure species and hybrids with a RMS of less than 1.0. We also attempted in developing a combined prediction model for different species of Corymbia, Eucalyptus, and their hybrids with minimum prediction errors.

At the same time, there is a rather limited number of studies focusing on the opportunities of ERAS in the context of its association with metabolic syndrome in patients with colorectal cancer. This study represents the results of our early experience implementing elements of the ERAS program in the perioperative management of patients with colorectal cancer associated with metabolic syndrome.

The aim. To conduct a comparative analysis and evaluate the results of surgical treatment using the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol in patients with colorectal cancer and accompanying metabolic syndrome.

Materials and methods. This study included 106 patients with colorectal cancer and accompanying metabolic syndrome, divided into two groups: the first group with the use of elements of the ERAS protocol in colorectal surgery from 2018 – 56 patients, and the second group in which the principles of ERAS were not used (50 patients).

Results. In the first group, with a statistically significant difference, a less severe pain syndrome was observed according to VAS (p<0.001), as well as a lower necessity for prescribing opioid analgesics in the postoperative period. Activation of patients, restoration of enteral nutrition and peristalsis occurred earlier in first group (p<0.001).

Mean hospital stay in the first group was 5.7±1.5 days, and in second group – 7.7±1.7 days (p<0.001). In the 2nd group, the percentage of complications such as: postoperative wound seroma, abdominal organ eventration, and anastomotic leaks in the 30-day postoperative period were higher than in the group with ERAS elements included.

Conclusion. The implementation of elements from the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer and concomitant metabolic syndrome is effective and safe. It is associated with a decreased duration of hospitalization, less postoperative pain, earlier return to enteral nutrition, quicker patient mobilization, and restoration of peristalsis. Additionally, it reduces the frequency of postoperative complications and readmission rates.

Introduction: In 83.3% of cases, pain in combatants who sustained mine-blast injuries during the war in Ukraine becomes chronic. Chronic pain leads to a number of negative aspects that affect the quality of life of combatants, and when they return to military service after treatment for professions that require people to act under pressure, it increases the risk not only for them but also for their teammates and the mission. Therefore, the issue of pain chronicity in this category of patients requires further study, and the identification of factors that influence the frequency of chronicity can potentially improve the results of treatment of this category of patients.

The aim: to identify factors that influence the negative results of pain treatment in combatants after mine-blast wounds during the war in Ukraine

Materials and methods: We analyzed the treatment of 660 combatants with mine-blast wounds. Treatment outcomes were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). Groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney test and the chi-square test with a continuity correction. To analyze the association of the risk of a negative treatment outcome with the factor characteristics, we used the method of building univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. The quality of the models was assessed by the area under the ROC curve (AUC). The odds ratio was calculated to quantify the degree of influence of the factor attribute.

Results: It was found that the factors of negative results of pain treatment in combatants with mine-blast wounds are: 1) method of pain treatment (p<0.001), OR=0.06 (95% CI 0.04-0.09); 2) high intensity of pain according to VAS on admission (p<0.001), OR=3.16 (95% CI 2.52-3.98); 3) anesthetic risk according to ASA (p=0.049) OR=0.67 (0.45-0. 99); 4) number of injured anatomical body parts (p=0.015), OR=1.17 (95% CI 1.03-1.32); 5) a combination of indicators: method of pain treatment, patient age and number of injured anatomical body parts AUC=0.82 (95% CI 0.79-0.85).

Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that if combatants with mine-blast wounds use a method of pain treatment that does not provide reliable control over the intensity of pain, then during evacuation to a medical facility, such pain becomes high-intensity pain. In addition, the conditions of the injury (combat conditions) and the injury itself cause a significant anesthetic risk according to the ASA. Such patients are associated with a higher risk of chronic pain. In the future, in-depth studies are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness or benefits of combining pain management with regional anesthesia methods. High-quality pain control during the medical evacuation of wounded from the battlefield to a medical facility could potentially improve the treatment outcomes of these combatants and reduce the incidence of pain chronicity.
COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTONOMIC IMBALANCE DIAGNOSTIC METHODS IN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN

Introduction. An imbalance in the autonomic nervous system regulation, known as dysautonomia, is one of the most common clinical syndromes that accompany several diseases. The balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic influences on the body can rapidly change during dynamic processes, especially in cases of infectious and acute diseases, where autonomic regulation plays an active role in shaping the immune response. In children with respiratory diseases, the influence of the vagus nerve (n.vagus) on the frequency and depth of breathing is also important but remains relatively understudied. Assessment of vegetative balance in pediatrics is carried out using various methods depending on the child's age and condition, with commonly used approaches including questionnaires, calculation of the Kerdo autonomic index, and orthostatic testing.
The aim. To compare the diagnostic capabilities of different methods for assessment of the autonomic nervous system state in school-age children on the model of acute bronchitis.
Materials and methods. The paper presents data from a study that assessed the state of the autonomic nervous system in 52 school-age children (12-16 years old) divided into two groups: 30 children with acute bronchitis in the convalescent period and 22 clinically healthy individuals. Three different methods were used: the A.M. Wayne scale, the Kerdo index, and the orthostatic test.
Results. The survey based on Wayne's questionnaire did not reveal a significant difference between the groups of healthy children and those affected by bronchitis. Dynamic tests proved to be more suitable for assessing acute pathology, such as Kerdo's autonomic index and the orthostatic test. The autonomic Kerdo index in children with bronchitis was significantly higher (14.2±2.38 points) than in healthy children (6.4±3.18 points, p<0.05). In children with acute bronchitis, dysautonomia with a predominance of sympathicotonia was recorded, which may be attributed to insufficient vagal innervation and a decrease in parasympathetic influence on the formation of an adequate immune response to the inflammatory process in the respiratory tract.
Conclusions. Determining the autonomic Kerdo index and conducting the orthostatic test is suitable for diagnosing dysautonomia in children with acute respiratory pathology. These tests are dynamic, functionally based, and easy to perform and evaluate.
DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGY AND TOOLS FOR REGULAR MONITORING, ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF WORK OF THE ELECTRONIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE WORK OF EXISTING SERVICES

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Medical information systems have become an important tool in the complex of providing medical care. They allow storing the patient's medical data, analyzing information at many levels, and using modern electronic and telemedicine technologies. The glossary of the concept of health care informatization defines a medical information system as a type of system characterized by a complex of methodological principles, technical means, management algorithms designed for the collection, storage, analysis, forecasting and transmission of medical information in health care institutions.

The aim: To analyze the level of satisfaction of medical workers regarding the functioning of the electronic health care system and medical information systems in all areas of medical activity, by evaluating the data of the electronic questionnaire.

Materials and methods: A group of 213 user experts from 11 regions of Ukraine and the city of Kyiv was formed to assess the overall quality of the electronic health care system. Informational, analytical-statistical, graphic, and system analysis methods were applied.

Results. The information entered into the medical information systems is subsequently widely used by doctors, other medical personnel, patients, and the administration of the health care facility. However, numerous functional deficiencies, and user wishes were identified. Assessing them will contribute to the improvement of e-Health.

Conclusions: Medical information systems (MIS) have become an integral attribute of the practical activity of all doctors. The development of MIS in Ukraine continues in intensive and extensive ways. The first MIS were autonomous and responded to local clinical and administrative needs. The problems of the country's health care management can be corrected through the wide and rational use of MIS, their integration into a single electronic system. This will make it possible to analyze medical data at the level of the country, region, institution and thus be able to apply the correct management decisions. Informatization of health care is a global trend, and in Ukraine it is developing at an unusually fast pace. Therefore, the assessment of convenience, efficiency, and interoperability of MIS should become a permanent tool for monitoring and prompt response by both doctors and health care managers. Medical workers are quite satisfied with the functioning of medical information systems in Ukraine, but the issues between technical solutions and practical use of the application remain unresolved.

The Scholastic Assessment Test is a test used to measure cognitive abilities. The Scholastic Assessment Test predicts prospective students who are able to complete their studies in college well and on time. This study aims to (1) describe the cognitive abilities of high school students through the scores of the Scholastic Assessment Test on Computer-Based Written Examination in 2021; (2) find out the subtest that has the most influence on the Scholastic Assessment Test score. This study uses secondary data, namely the mean score of the SMA/MA Scholastic Assessment Test in the province of Yogyakarta Special Area which is included in the Top 1000 results of the 2021 Computer-Based Written Examination. In the Province of Yogyakarta Special Area, there are 83 schools that fall into the Top 1000 category with details: 28 Senior High Schools in Yogya City, 23 schools in Sleman Regency, 18 schools in Bantul Regency, 7 schools in Gunung Kidul Regency, and 7 schools in Kulon Progo Regency. The data analysis methods used in this study were descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results of data analysis show that the highest average of students’ cognitive ability in the low group is reading comprehension and writing ability, in the medium group the highest average is reasoning ability, and in the high group, the highest average is quantitative ability. Based on the results of the regression analysis, it can be seen that the reasoning ability subtest has the greatest contribution to the Scholastic Assessment Test scores of high school students in the Special Area of Yogyakarta.
