THE HIGHER HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL-SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION IN A CRISIS - A NEW APPROACH OR A DEAD END? AN ATTEMPT TO UPDATE A “REPLICA“ OF HANS ROBERT JAUSS 'S IDEAS
Authors: MANOV Boris
Published: October 2021

The article develops two problem areas: The first substantiates the thesis that the basis of the “problems“ of the educational process in higher humanitarian education is not the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. This basis lies in the new historical (“human“) situation of the early 21st century. This situation requires the development of modern theoretical models in the humanities and social sciences and a new “propaedeutic“ model for their study. This new model must reject the traditions of “remembering“ and “reproducing“ a certain amount of information by students and provoke their active participation in the educational process.
In addition, views on the “secondary“ and / or even the “death“ of humanitarian and social knowledge are asserted. That is why this study, especially at the university, is somehow isolated within the educational space. The second problematic area deals with the question of the essence, content and heuristic-propaedeutic possibilities
of the reflexive synoptic paradigmatic approach. The position that the paradigmatic approach overcomes the extremes of the other two main approaches in the reflective methodology of scientific knowledge: philosophical-methodological historicism
and contextualism is defended by uniting them in a new “synoptic“ “philosophical-contextual“ approach.
This view does not allow to present the theory and history of humanitarian and social knowledge as the “chronology“ of its existence, nor only as a linear cumulative process of accumulation of ideas or a set of separate “contextual“ analytical texts, but as a “reconstruction“ which presents a theoretical model of the dialectical “becoming“ of the history and theory of humanitarian and social-scientific thought. This model is the means by which the methodological activity and heuristics of the “synoptic“ paradigmatic approach are “verified“, finding expression not only in the elaboration of the general explanatory scheme, but also in revealing the content of the separate theories, which gives huge opportunities for realization not of “reproducing“, but of “mental“, “creative“ research and educational process.
OLD ENGLISH SWA SIMILES: STRUCTURE OVERVIEW
Authors: OLENIAK Mariana
Published: October 2021

This paper describes a way of expressing figurative similarity through Old English
constructions employing the element swa ‘as’ (or its variants) as a comparison marker, which in early Middle English developed into two distinct lexemes: the adverb also and the conjunction as, the latter often found in clauses of comparison. The uniqueness of this type of Anglo-Saxon simile is its capability to create similes whose tenors and vehicles either nominate the referents standing behind them or provide a certain amount of information concerning their actions or states, being expressed either by lexemes or clauses, correspondingly. The constructions in question are scrutinised regarding their structure, which sheds some light on its interdependency and interconnectedness with part of speech semantics as well as emphasis. The data is quantified in terms of grammatical as well as information distribution-related issues. This analysis results in a detailed description of two major categories of the Old English swa simile depending on the number of verbalised components, their positioning, and grammatical expression; it also briefly touches upon the chronological peculiarities of the concerned constructions as well as the comparison with other means of figurative similarity expression in Old English. The analysis is carried out on material that has never been studied before.
RELATIVE CARITIVE CONSTRUCTIONS WITH CONJUNCTION-PREPOSITION COMPLEX ILI BEZ IN SERBIAN (WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE SITUATION IN RUSSIAN)
Authors: BALEK Tijana
Published: October 2021

The paper presents 29 relative caritive constructions identified in Serbian language thanks to a search of the Serbian National Corpus, from which they are excerpted. Detailed analysis has shown that most of the excerpted constructions consist of a preposition, noun in a certain case, conjunction-preposition complex ‘ili bez’ and, often,
a noun or pronoun in genitive. The analysis has also shown that 29 types of the excerpted constructions consist of 9 different prepositions on their left side which give the information about the absens, and that inclusion and action of the absens in concrete situations are relativized. Nevertheless, there are 5 non-prepositional constructions and 2 constructions that have complex prepositional expressions ‘u suprotnosti sa’ and ‘u saglasnosti sa’ on the left side. Regular caritive constructions
negate inclusion of the absens on the right part of the construction, but these (analyzed in the paper) are specific because the conjunction ‘ili’ slightly neutralizes caritive semantics of the preposition ‘bez’. It should be said that among excerpted
constructions we identified 11 with anaphoric features that are discussed in the paper as well. In general, the conducted analysis showed that caritive semantics in Slavic languages (i.e. in Serbian and Russian) is not grammaticalized, which means that there are many grammatical and lexical resources for its presentation that need to be registered and described.
PROVERBS AND PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN IVAN VAZOV’S NOVEL “UNDER THE YOKE” AND THEIR RENDERING INTO ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN
Authors: BAGASHEVA Mariya
Published: October 2021

The paper examines the use of proverbs and phraseological units in Ivan Vazov's novel “Under the Yoke” and their rendering in the English and Russian translations of the novel. It studies the specifics of proverbs and the types of phraseological units as well as similes which have been excerpted from the English and Russian translations of the
novel. The approaches of their rendering in these languages and the explanation of the reasons for their absence (if any) in the translation are also discussed. The paper focuses on the difficulties a translator may have when translating proverbs and
phraseological units into another language. This is because these linguistic elements reflect a people’s life – their cultural, social, historical development, which poses a serious challenge for a translator to find an equivalent in a language quite different from the one in study. The study tries to discuss the most appropriate approaches a translator into English and Russian may use so as to render the specific meaning of the proverb, phraseological unit or simile without losing their “native flavor”.
The theoretical framework is mainly based on the study of realias (or "non-equivalent vocabulary") by S. Vlahov and S. Florin in their book "The Untranslatable in Translation".

Introduction. Eating habits are formed in the first years of life and sometimes persist throughout lifetime. It is necessary to develop coherent nutritional educational programs to guide adolescents towards a healthy diet. Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 194 students from the ninth and the twelfth grade from Dimitrie Cantemir High School in Iasi. These young people were evaluated for their physical development with the help of body mass index and eating habits. Eating habits were assessed on the basis of a weekly food intake questionnaire. The processing of the results was carried out by the Pearson test. Results. Physical development was mainly at normal values (68.55%). There were 19.07% underweight students but also 12.37% young people with obesity. Milk was present in menus especially 2-3 times (35.05%) or 1 time (25.77%) per week, with insignificant differences by class and sex. Chicken meat was mainly consumed 2-3 times a week (42.78%) with insignificantly differing in classes, but significant in gender (p˂0.001). Vegetables were consumed especially 2-3 times (30.92%) per week or daily (28.35%). Sweets were consumed mainly on a daily basis (29.89%) or 2-3 times (26.28%) per week. Conclusions. The eating habits of students surveyed were different in girls than in boys, an aspect that draws attention to young females for whom identification with the current ideal of beauty is essential.

Published: October 2021

Introduction. Currently, various biologically active substances, preferably of biological and not synthetic origin, with having a growth stimulating effect, are frequently used as food additives in the poultry industry. Some of these substances with a stimulating effect on the growth of chickens are represented by the biomass obtained from apathogenic strains of Streptomycetes. Material and methods. The investigations were conduvted within the ILR “Avicola Sărătenii-Vech” v. Sărătenii Vechi, Telenești district. The biological material was one-day-old Adler's silver chickens. The research was carried out on 150 chickens (one control and two experimental), which were randomly distributed in three groups of 50 chickens in each. Results. The dynamics of body weight was higher in the experimental group of chickens which, received biomass of Streptomycetes, indicating that the chickens in experimental group II recorded a 5.1% increase in body weight compared to chickens from the control group. The analysis of blood indices showed a slight increase of the number of lymphocytes and eosinophils, from 4 to 9% in experimental group II. Conclusions. The use of biomass of Streptomycetes in feeding the experimental grup of chickens demonstrated an increase of body weight with 5.1% compared to the chickens from the control group. The biomass of Streptomycetes stimulated an increase of the number of limbocytes and eosinophils in chickens from the experimental group II, thus demonstrating an immunostimulatory effect.

Los resultados derivados de procesos de incorporación de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación -TIC- en la gestión de las entidades territoriales no han sido los esperados y no se tiene claridad sobre los factores que inciden en la ocurrencia de estos resultados. Esta investigación surge con el propósito de identificar las reglas formales y arreglos culturales que inciden en el índice de incorporación de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en los procesos de gestión pública territorial. Metodológicamente, el estudio utiliza un enfoque mixto que privilegió el uso de encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas con servidores públicos bajo un estudio de caso en el municipio de Balboa, departamento del Cauca en el suroccidente colombiano. Se encontró que hay un gran avance en el cierre de brechas en cuanto a la apropiación digital por parte de los servidores públicos de entidades territoriales categoría 6 y con un nivel de desarrollo incipiente, lo que resulta determinante en el momento de implementar acciones en torno a la política de gobierno en línea, y que aunque no existan directrices (reglas) formales acerca del uso y aprovechamiento de herramientas TIC, esta apropiación conduce a valoraciones, prácticas y creencias, positivas (arreglos culturales) hacia la política, tanto a nivel individual como colectivo.

XX a. Europoje upės buvo tiesinamos dėl laivybos, potvynių reguliavimo, o Lietuvoje – dėl žemių sausinimo darbų. Tiesinant upes keitėsi jų morfologija – suformuota pagilinta, trapecinės formos vaga. Tokia dirbtinai suformuota upė nebeatlieka savo funkcijų, didėja aplinkos tarša. Visa tai neigiamai veikia upės florą ir fauną. Lietuvoje, siekiant pagerinti upių ekologinę būklę, vis labiau įgyvendinami upių renatūralizavimo darbai naudojant bioinžinerines priemones – rąstus, ak- menų metinius, kurie formuoja natūralią upės vagą. Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjamas renatūralizuotų upių ekologinės būklės įvertinimas pagal ichtiofaunos taksonominę sudėtį ir gausą, nes būtent žuvys apibūdinamos kaip vandens kokybės indikatoriai, atspindintys aplinkos pokyčius bei esamą būklę. Ichtiofaunos taksonominei sudėčiai ir gausai nustatyti buvo naudojamas Lietuvos žuvų indeksas. Tyrimai buvo atliekami Vašuokos, Vyžuonos ir Viešintos renatūralizuotose ir reprezentatyviose upių atkarpose. Tiriamųjų upių atkarpose buvo užfiksuota 13 žuvų rūšių, nustatytas Lietuvos žuvų indeksas, kurio vertė palyginta su upių ekologinės būklės kriterijų vertėmis.

Unveiling Shrouded Oceans on Temperate sub-Neptunes via Transit Signatures of Solubility Equilibria versus Gas Thermochemistry
Authors: Hu Renyu , Damiano Mario , Scheucher Markus , Kite Edwin , Seager Sara , Rauer Heike
Published: October 2021

The recent discovery and initial characterization of sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets that receive stellar irradiance of approximately Earth’s raised the prospect of finding habitable planets in the coming decade, because some of these temperate planets may support liquid-water oceans if they do not have massive H2/He envelopes and are thus not too hot at the bottom of the envelopes. For planets larger than Earth, and especially planets in the 1.7–3.5 R
⊕ population, the mass of the H2/He envelope is typically not sufficiently constrained to assess the potential habitability. Here we show that the solubility equilibria versus thermochemistry of carbon and nitrogen gases typically results in observable discriminators between small H2 atmospheres versus massive ones, because the condition to form a liquid-water ocean and that to achieve the thermochemical equilibrium are mutually exclusive. The dominant carbon and nitrogen gases are typically CH4 and NH3 due to thermochemical recycling in a massive atmosphere of a temperate planet, and those in a small atmosphere overlying a liquid-water ocean are most likely CO2 and N2, followed by CO and CH4 produced photochemically. NH3 is depleted in the small atmosphere by dissolution into the liquid-water ocean. These gases lead to distinctive features in the planet’s transmission spectrum, and a moderate number of transit observations with the James Webb Space Telescope should tell apart a small atmosphere versus a massive one on planets like K2-18 b. This framework thus points to a way to use near-term facilities to constrain the atmospheric mass and habitability of temperate sub-Neptune exoplanets.
The Tail of Late-forming Dwarf Galaxies in ΛCDM
Authors: Benitez-Llambay Alejandro , Fumagalli Michele
Published: October 2021

We use a robust analytical model together with a high-resolution hydrodynamical cosmological simulation to demonstrate that in a Lambda cold dark matter (ΛCDM) universe, a small fraction of dwarf galaxies inhabiting dark matter (DM) halos in the mass range 3 × 109 ≲ M
200/M
⊙ ≲ 1010 form unusually late (z < 3) compared to the bulk population of galaxies. These galaxies originate from the interplay between the stochastic growth of DM halos and the existence of a time-dependent DM halo mass below which galaxies do not form. The formation epoch of the simulated late-forming galaxies traces remarkably well the time when their host DM halos first exceeded a nontrivial (but well-understood) time-dependent critical mass, thus making late-forming dwarfs attractive cosmological probes with constraining power over the past growth history of their host halos. The agreement between our model and the simulation results demonstrates that the population of simulated late-forming dwarfs is a robust cosmological outcome and largely independent of the specific galaxy formation model included in the simulations provided: (1) the universe underwent cosmic reionization before

z

re

∼

;

(2) star formation proceeds in gas that self-gravitates; and (3) galaxy formation is largely restricted to atomic-cooling halos before z
re. The scarcity of massive late-forming dwarfs expected in ΛCDM implies that the great majority of bright, metal-poor, and actively star-forming dwarfs observed in our local universe—the most obvious candidates for these late-forming galaxies—cannot be undergoing their formation for the first time at the present day in a ΛCDM universe.
Nonthermal Particle Acceleration at Highly Oblique Nonrelativistic Shocks
Authors: Kumar Naveen , Reville Brian
Published: October 2021

The nonthermal acceleration of electrons and ions at an oblique, nonrelativistic shock is studied using large-scale particle-in-cell simulations in one spatial dimension. Physical parameters are selected to highlight the role of electron preheating in injection and subsequent acceleration of particles at high Mach number shocks. Simulation results show evidence for the early onset of the diffusive shock acceleration process for both electrons and ions at a highly oblique subluminal shock. Ion acceleration efficiencies of ≲5% are measured at late times, though this is not the saturated value.
Internal R-process Abundance Spread of M15 and a Single Stellar Population Model
Authors: Tarumi Yuta , Yoshida Naoki , Inoue Shigeki
Published: October 2021

The member stars in globular cluster M15 show a substantial spread in the abundances of r-process elements. We argue that a rare and prolific r-process event enriched the natal cloud of M15 in an inhomogeneous manner. To critically examine the possibility, we perform cosmological galaxy formation simulations and study the physical conditions for the inhomogeneous enrichment. We explore a large parameter space of the merger event time and the site. Our simulations reproduce the large r-process abundance spread if a neutron-star merger occurs at ∼100 pc away from the formation site of the cluster and in a limited time range of a few tens of millions of years before the formation. Interestingly, a bimodal feature is found in the Eu abundance distribution in some cases, similarly to that inferred from recent observations. M15 member stars do not show the clear correlation between the abundances of Eu and light elements such as Na that is expected in models with two stellar populations. We thus argue that a majority of the stars in M15 are formed in a single burst. The ratio of heavy to light r-process element abundance [Eu/Y] ∼ 1.0 is consistent with that of the so-called r-II stars, suggesting that a lanthanide-rich r-process event dominantly enriched M15.
Was Venus Ever Habitable? Constraints from a Coupled Interior–Atmosphere–Redox Evolution Model
Authors: Krissansen-Totton Joshua , Fortney Jonathan J. , Nimmo Francis
Published: October 2021

Venus’s past climate evolution is uncertain. General circulation model simulations permit a habitable climate as late as ∼0.7 Ga, and there is suggestive—albeit inconclusive—evidence for previous liquid water from surface geomorphology and mineralogy. However, it is unclear whether a habitable past can be reconciled with Venus’s inferred atmospheric evolution. In particular, the lack of leftover atmospheric oxygen argues against recent water loss. Here, we apply a fully coupled model of Venus’s atmospheric–interior–climate evolution from post-accretion magma ocean to present. The model self-consistently tracks C-, H-, and O-bearing volatiles and surface climate through the entirety of Venus’s history. Atmospheric escape, mantle convection, melt production, outgassing, deep water cycling, and carbon cycling are explicitly coupled to climate and redox evolution. Plate tectonic and stagnant lid histories are considered. Using this coupled model, we conclude that both a habitable Venusian past and one where Venus never possessed liquid surface water can be reconciled with known constraints. Specifically, either scenario can reproduce bulk atmospheric composition, inferred surface heat flow, and observed 40Ar and 4He. Moreover, the model suggests that Venus could have been habitable with a ∼100 m global ocean as late as 1 Ga, without violating any known constraints. In fact, if diffusion-limited water loss is throttled by a cool, CO2-dominated upper atmosphere, then a habitable past is tentatively favored by our model. This escape throttling makes it difficult to simultaneously recover negligible water vapor and ∼90 bar CO2 in the modern atmosphere without temporarily sequestering carbon in the interior via silicate weathering to enhance H escape.
The Role of Family Support in the Recovery of Corona Virus Disease-19 Patients
Authors: Wardani Diadjeng Setya , Arifin Syamsul
Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Families have an important role in prevention for patients who are positive for coronavirus diseases (COVID)-19 with mild symptoms and without symptoms to recover. Support such as providing positive information, moral reinforcement, and special time given by the family is thought to strengthen mental health and can increase the immunity of the patient.

AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of family support in the recovery of COVID-19 patients.

METHODS: Used was observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were 30 people who had family members diagnosed with COVID-19 and lived in one house and 30 patients recovered from COVID-19 in the islands of Java and Kalimantan. Data analysis used Fisher’s exact test and calculated the prevalence ratio to determine the most dominant role.

RESULTS: The results showed that the p-value of the relationship between family support and the recovery of COVID-19 patients was 0.023, and the p-value of the relationship between components and the recovery of COVID-19 patients was emotional support (0.048), appreciation or appraisal support (0.007), informational support (0.023), and instrumental support (0.034). The prevalence ratio for each of these components was emotional support (PR = 0.714), followed by instrumental support (0.667), informational support (0.600), and appreciation or appraisal support (PR = 0.333).

CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant role between family supports in the recovery of COVID-19 patients. Emotional support is the strongest component that plays a role in recovery of COVID-19 patients.
Stress-adaptation among Family of Adolescent with Substance Misuse: Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Subekti Heru , Rahmat Ibrahim , Wilopo Siswanto
Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Families of an adolescent with substance use disorders report significant burden and stress. Adequate coping strategies can modify the impact of stressful situations and increase family function.

AIM: The aim of the study was to systematically review the literature related to the coping strategies and adaptations used by family members of the adolescent with substance use disorders to manage their stress.

METHODS: We conducted electronic searches using MEDLINE (PubMed), EBSCO, databases to select studies on family stress, and coping strategies that were published from January 2000 to December 2020. The search terms were family, parent, father, mother, coping, caregiver, strategy, adaptation, adolescent, and substance use disorders.

RESULTS: We found 961 articles. After application of exclusion criteria and exclusion of redundant references, ten articles were thematically analyzed. The studies were organized into five categories: Engaged, tolerance, withdrawal, problem-focused, and emotion-focused coping strategies. The family members felt devastated by the incidents of violence and aggressive outbursts, and felt they failed as parents. As a result, the parents felt very isolated from other family members and friends, and ashamed of their children’s behavior. Most families used problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies in different combinations.

CONCLUSION: The identified studies show that the use of emotional focus coping is the coping strategy most often done by families. Problem focus coping involved family efforts to find sources of information and seek treatment services as a mechanism for adaptive coping strategy. However, a mixed methods study is still needed that clearly illustrates the types of coping strategies used in various cultural perspectives and social status.
Beet (Beta vulgaris) Improve Blood Glucose and AKT2 Gene Expression in High Fat and Fructose-induced Rats
Authors: Fitri M. Windi Dona , Farmawati Arta , Sunarti Sunarti
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT
Background: Diet components significant effects on glucose homeostasis. A diet contains high saturated fat and fructose induces insulin resistance and enhanced blood glucose. In contrast, food containing flavonoids such as beet can improve glucose homeostasis via modulation of gene expression, e.g., AKT2, involving glucose metabolism.
Aims: This study were to evaluate the benefit of beet on AKT2 gene expression and fasting glucose.
Methods: Twenty wistar male was divided into five groups: Normal were fed a normal diet, group HFFD was given a diet containing high fat and fructose, and three groups (HFB1, HFB2, HFB3) were given a diet containing high fat and fructose for eight weeks and continuous fed beet-contained normal diet for six weeks. The percentage of beet in the diet for each 6%, 9%, and 12%, respectively.
Results: The fasting glucose was measured before and after the intervention, whereas the gene expression of AKT2 at skeletal muscle tissue was determined after the intervention. A diet high in fat and fructose increased fasting glucose levels, and a beet-contained diet decreased it.
Conclusions: The beet 9% substituted diet can improve glucose homeostasis from the effects of a high fat and fructose diet, and the expression of the AKT2 gene may have a role in the process.
Keywords: AKT2, Antioxidant, Beet, Fat, Fructose.
Geohistorical dataset of ten plant species introduced into Occitania (France)
Authors: Claudel Morgane , Lerigoleur Emilie , Brun Cécile , Guillerme Sylvie
Published: October 2021

The original dataset presented here is the result of the first near-exhaustive analysis performed on historical data concerning ten plant species introduced in and around Occitania (south-western France) since 1651. Research was carried out on the following species: Alnus incana, Buddleja davidii, Castanea sativa, Helianthus tuberosus, Impatiens glandulifera, Prunus cerasifera, Prunus laurocerasus, Reynoutria japonica, Robinia pseudoacacia and Spiraea japonica.

The data file contains 199 occurrence data exclusively based on historical observations and records made between 1651 and 2004 and retrieved from 111 of the 640 literary sources consulted. All the records are associated with a year and 61% of them have associated spatial coordinates. Initially the EI2P-VALEEBEE research project focused on the introduction of these species into Occitania (95 occurrences, 47.7%), but mentions found beyond this territory - mainly in metropolitan France - are also reported.

The creation of this dataset involved five stages: (1) selection of species, (2) consultation of historical sources, (3) recording of occurrences in the dataset, (4) dataset standardization/enrichment and Darwin core mapping, (5) data publication. Quality controls were conducted at each step.

The dataset is available on the platform of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) at https://doi.org/10.15468/3kvaeh. It respects the internationally recognized FAIR Data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).

The dataset will be progressively enriched by new data during the EI2P-VALEEBEE research project and future projects on invasive plant species conducted by the team.
Comparative evaluation of interrupted and intermittent forces on canine retraction: an in vivo study
Authors: Jagtap Sneha B. , Bhosale Veera I. , Patil Amol S.
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Various force systems are used in orthodontics to move teeth, such as continuous, intermittent and interrupted. Teeth responds differently to these orthodontic forces.

Aims: The aim of the study is to compare the rate of canine retraction with intermittent and interrupted forces.

Materials and Methods: A split mouth study was carried among eighteen participants. One side of maxillary arch randomly received interrupted force with elastomeric powerchain while other received intermittent force with elastics with magnitude of 150-170g for canine retraction on each side. For 15 weeks, participants were asked to wear the elastics 8 hours a day whereas the elastomeric powerchains were replaced by operator every 5 weeks. The outcomes were assessed using scanned images of study models collected at the beginning (T0) and 15 weeks later (T3) as well on OPG. Linear and angular measurements were used to measure the distal movement, rotation as well tipping of canines and the results were statistically analysed using Independent t-test.

Results: The distal movement of canine on the interrupted force side was 0.98mm/5weeks and on the intermittent force side was 1.06mm/5weeks. The distopalatal rotation on interrupted and intermittent force side was 8.38° and 5.72°. Tipping measured on OPG was 5.72° and 5.27° for interrupted and intermittent force. No statistically significant differences were found.

Conclusion: The rate of canine retraction with interrupted force and intermittent force showed no statistically significant differences. Less canine rotation and tipping with intermittent force compared to interrupted force though not statistically significant.

Introduction: Knowledge about venous patterns (especially portal and hepatic venous) and their variations are extremely crucial for liver transplantation and other surgical procedures on liver. Studies have been done at national or international level on variations of hepatic venous patterns by CT or MRI or by dissection on cadaveric liver. No definitive or authentic study on this topic could be noted in electronic and print media, as well as in standard textbook. Considering low cost and noninvasive nature, we utilized ultrasonography to bridge this lacuna.

Aim: To estimate prevalence and types of anatomical variations of hepatic venous system and to determine association of among variations.

Materials and methods: It is an observational cross-sectional study where ultrasonographic evaluation of hepatic venous pattern on adult population of either sex (consecutive sampling) without any major liver disorders was done in RG Kar Medical College and data were analyzed with appropriate statistical procedures.

Results: Normal hepatic venous pattern along with normal portal venous pattern is much higher in our study, which is a unique finding. The proportion of normal portal venous pattern is more in extra hepatic bifurcation group. Variations of portal vein and normal hepatic venous pattern are more in case of intrahepatic bifurcation of portal venous branching group. Overall presence of intrahepatic bifurcation of portal vein is significantly higher than extrahepatic bifurcation.

Conclusions: This study provides an updated database for the prevalence and distribution of anatomic variations of the hepatic venous and portal venous system.

Background/Aims: Adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has become a critical aspect of care in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We aimed to examine the association of TKI adherence with overall survival (OS) outcomes in Korean patients diagnosed with CML and treated with TKIs using data from the National Health Information Database.Methods: This study included 2,870 CML patients diagnosed between 2005 and 2013. Drug adherence was evaluated according to the medication possession ratio (MPR) and classified as high adherence (i.e., MPR ≥ 0.95 [upper 50%]), moderate adherence (i.e., MPR ≥ 0.68 and < 0.95 [middle 25%]), and low adherence (i.e., MPR < 0.68 [lower 25%]).Results: The median MPR was 0.95 (range, 0 to 4.67). Male sex (p = 0.003), age < 70 years (p < 0.001), high income (≥ 30%, p < 0.001), and maintaining frontline TKI (< 0.001) were associated with better adherence. Adherence to dasatinib was the lowest (vs. imatinib or nilotinib, p < 0.001). Compared with high MPR patients, those with moderate MPR (hazard ratio [HR], 4.90; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.87 to 6.19; p < 0.001) and low MPR (HR, 11.6; 95% CI, 9.35 to 14.42; p < 0.001) had poorer OS.Conclusions: Adherence to TKI treatment is an important factor predicting survival outcomes in Korean CML patients. Male sex, age < 70 years, high income, and maintaining frontline TKI are associated with high adherence to TKI. Thus, those without these characteristics should be closely monitored for treatment adherence.
Association between secondhand smoke exposure and new-onset hypertension in self-reported never smokers verified by cotinine
Authors: Kim Byung Jin , Kang Jeong-Gyu , Kim Bum Soo
Published: October 2021

Background/Aims: There is no study assessing the effect of changes of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure and new-onset hypertension. We investigated the effect of a change of SHS exposure status on new-onset hypertension in self-reported and cotinine-verified never smokers.Methods: Out of individuals enrolled in the Kangbuk Samsung Health Study between 2011 and 2016, 87,486 self-reported and cotinine-verified never smokers without hypertension at baseline visit were included with a median follow-up of 36 months. Individuals were divided into four groups on the basis of their SHS exposure status at baseline and at follow-up: no, new, former, and sustained SHS exposure groups.Results: The incidence rates per 10,000 person-year of new-onset hypertension in no, new, former, and sustained SHS exposure groups were 84.7, 113.3, 102.0, and 123.7, respectively (p < 0.001). A multivariable Cox-hazard analyses showed that new and sustained SHS exposure groups increased their hazard ratio (HR) for new-onset hypertension compared to no SHS exposure group (HR, 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08 to 1.60 for new SHS exposure group; and HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.45 for sustained SHS exposure group). However, being part of the former SHS exposure group did not increase the risk of new-onset hypertension (HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.81 to 1.03).Conclusions: This study showed that either new, or sustained SHS exposure, but not former SHS exposure, increased the risk for new-onset hypertension in self-reported never smokers verified as nonsmokers by urinary cotinine. These findings show the possibility that changing exposure to SHS even for a relatively short period can modify the risk of new-onset hypertension in self-reported and cotinine-verified never smokers.
The Affordable Care Act: Primary Care and the Doctor of Nursing Practice Nurse
Authors: Lathrop Breanna , Hodnicki Donna
Published: October 2021

The passage of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) initiated the transformation of the United States healthcare system. The ACA fosters a preventive healthcare model that emphasizes primary care, funds community health initiatives, and promotes quality care. These changes increase the need for well-prepared healthcare professionals. Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who hold the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree are prepared to meet this increased need by providing leadership in community health centers, serving on interdisciplinary teams, and advocating for and directing future policy initiates. In this article, the authors consider how the ACA will serve as a prevention model, describe the role of DNP nurses as primary care providers, explain how preventive healthcare can be enhanced through the use of a primary care model, and address associated challenges related to increasing preventive care in our healthcare system. They also discuss DNP nurse leadership opportunities related to community-based programs and policy strategies to strengthen primary care delivery. The authors conclude by noting the professional and legal barriers that need to be removed before DNP nurses will be able to provide the care they have been prepared to offer.
Barriers to NP Practice that Impact Healthcare Redesign
Authors: Hain Debra , Fleck Laureen
Published: October 2021

As healthcare reform evolves, nurse practitioners (NP) will play key roles in improving health outcomes of diverse populations. According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2011 report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change Advancing Health, nurses should be change advocates by caring for populations within complex healthcare systems. The IOM reports asserts, “advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) should be able to practice to the fullest extent of their education and training” (IOM, 2011, s8). However, existing barriers in the healthcare arena limit APRN practice. This article will discuss some of these barriers and provide suggestions for possible ways to decrease the barriers.

Published: October 2021

Libraries are a primary resource for evidence-based practice. This study, using a critical incident survey administered to 6,788 nurses at 118 hospitals, sought to explore the influence of nurses’ use of library resources on both nursing and patient outcomes. In this article, the authors describe the background events motivating this study, the survey methods used, and the study results. They also discuss their findings, noting that use of library resources showed consistently positive relationships with changing advice given to patients, handling patient care differently, avoiding adverse events, and saving time. The authors discuss the study limitations and conclude that the availability and use of library and information resources and services had a positive impact on nursing and patient outcomes, and that nurse managers play an important role both by encouraging nurses to use evidence-based library resources and services and by supporting the availability of these resources in healthcare settings.

Physical constraints must be taken into account in solving partial differential equations (PDEs) in modeling physical phenomenon time evolution of chemical or biological species. In other words, numerical schemes ought to be devised in a way that numerical results may have the same qualitative properties as those of the theoretical results. Methods with monotonicity preserving property possess a qualitative feature that renders them practically proper for solving hyperbolic systems. The need for monotonicity signifies the essential boundedness properties necessary for the numerical methods. That said, for many linear multistep methods (LMMs), the monotonicity demands are violated. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the total variations of those methods are bounded. This paper investigates monotonicity, especially emphasizing the stepsize restrictions for boundedness of A-BDF methods as a subclass of LMMs. A-stable methods can often be effectively used for stiff ODEs, but may prove inefficient in hyperbolic equations with stiff source terms. Numerical experiments show that if we apply the A-BDF method to Sod's problem, the numerical solution for the density is sharp without spurious oscillations. Also, application of the A-BDF method to the discontinuous diffusion problem is free of temporal oscillations and negative values near the discontinuous points while the SSP RK2 method does not have such properties.
