Authors:   Shanghai International Studies University, Liwei Zhang
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of language policy and language competition in the Republic of Tajikistan in synchronic and diachronic aspects. The phenomena and factors influencing the modern language competition are analyzed. A comparative description of the activities performed by Russia, the United States and China to promote the Russian, English and Chinese languages in the Republic of Tajikistan is presented. An overview of the measures taken by the government of Tajikistan to accelerate the implementation of the “Law on Language: of October 21, 1997 is presented along with the characteristics of the language situation in Tajikistan. The problems of promoting the Chinese language in Tajikistan are identified and reasonable solutions are proposed to increase the competitiveness of the Chinese language. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the language situation in Tajikistan represents a complex social and communicative system, where a multicomponent model of language policy operates, combining a competing language policy with different varieties of the Tajik, Russian, English and Chinese languages.
Modern Language Policy towards Russian in the Context of National Security of the Russian Federation
Authors:   Shanghai International Studies University, Liu Zhao
Published: January 2023

In the modern world, where traditional and new security challenges are intertwined, the problem of language security is also becoming relevant. The problem of language and national security that Russia faces prompts academic circles to think about the role of language as a social resource and what functions it performs. This paper uses the Nvivo12 software to conduct a content analysis of texts related to Russian language policy in a security context for the period 2002-2020, and thus to study the issue of linguistic securitization in Russia. The study showed that securitization is a politicized process, the essence of which is that the government has given language a social function that affects national security. Language security in Russia consists of two levels. The first is the process of building a discourse on language security, which elevates the issue of language security to the rank of a national language security issue and places it in the context of political and cultural security. The second is the process of responding to language security problems, that is, the process during which the subjects of language security adopt a language policy aimed at eliminating threats to language security.

Review of Studies on Public Signs in China
Authors:   Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Lifen Liu , Ruiru Li ,   Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Haijiao Wang ,   Irkutsk State University
Published: January 2023

This article systematically examines the current state of research on public signs over the past 30 years in the English-speaking and Russian-speaking scientific communities in China, as well as the attention of public institutions to their foreign translation. The results show that most of the work on this topic is carried out in the English- speaking community, and less research is devoted to other languages, such as Russian. There are fruitful results, including scientific articles, monographs, textbooks, reference books, etc. However, there are numerous studies, with similarities in the definition of “public signs”, their pragmatic functions, linguistic and cultural features, types of error, examples, and their translation strategies. Most of the research is carried out from a linguistic point of view, mainly analyzing the errors and causes of the translation of public signs in a certain area, as well as the principles, methods and strategies for correcting errors, etc., but not enough attention has been paid to theoretical research. There is also quite a bit of research from a sociolinguistic point of view, mainly using foreign theories such as geosemiotics and SPEAKING theory to study the problems of multilingualism in a certain area of China, the viability of minority languages and language policy. This work aims to point the way for future studies of social signs to better serve the country, society and teaching.
Ethnographic Study of the Language Policy of the Kyrgyz Urban Families in China
Authors:   Hainan University, Jumabayi Ayixiren
Published: January 2023

With the development of urbanization and the need for personal development, young Kyrgyz people prefer to move from their ethnic settlements to live and work in large cities. In such a large social environment, the question arises of how to enable the next generation to pass on their native language and become experts in the national language. In this process, the language policy of the family is of decisive importance. On the example of a Kyrgyz family in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygru Autonomous Region of the PRC, this paper uses observational methods and semi-structured interviews, as well as B. Spolsky’s trichotomy theory of language policy, as a basis for analyzing differences in language consciousness, language practice and language management of family members in relation to national lingua franca, Kyrgyz and other languages, as well as for learning the language of the Kyrgyz family.

Authors:   Institute of Linguistics RAS, Ivanov Viacheslav V.
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the formation of the linguistic landscape of the city of Ulan-Ude, the capital of the Republic of Buryatia, and its connection with the current situation. It was determined that the beginning of the formation of the linguistic landscape of the city at the present stage can be considered the first half of the 1990s. It was shown that the actions of the legislature, as well as business owners, the media and ordinary citizens, contribute to an increase in the representation of the Buryad language, which is the state language along with Russian. The course towards equal representation of the Buryad and Russian languages is supported by all actors, which, with coordinated work, can accelerate the ongoing positive changes.
Linguoculturological Aspects in the Study of the Ergonymicon of the Brest Region
Authors:   Minsk State Linguistic University, Ilyicheva Inna L.
Published: January 2023

The issues of studying the interaction of language and culture are among the priority tasks of modern linguistics, which have important theoretical and practical significance. The periphery of the region’s onomastic space is made up of ergonymic units that reflect social, economic and regional specifics. The article deals with linguoculturological aspects in the study of ergonyms. The object of this study is one of the varieties of ergonymic units – the names of hotel and tourist facilities in the Brest region. In the course of the analysis of 246 names, cultural codes that objectify culturally marked information were identified and described. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the study of ergonyms in a culturological way contributes to the identification of the worldview and cultural and value orientations of the inhabitants of the region. Ergonymic units as one of the fragments of the language space of the region serve as an important reference point in the historical and cultural heritage of the region and the country.
Russian Sociolinguistics in the XXI Century: New Themes, Approaches, Methods
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the RAS, Khilkhanova Erzhen V.
Published: January 2023

The article presents an analytical review of new trends in Russian sociolinguistics of the XXI century. The author identifies three main trends: (1) reinterpretation and attempts to revise sociolinguistic concepts and terms; (2) emergence of new topics, approaches and methods from the Western social sciences; and (3) increasing interdisciplinarity in approaches and methods. Each trend is illustrated by separate representative examples. As such, the author considers: the native language category, the direction of ethnography of language policy, linguistic landscapes, language ideologies (in particular, “monolingual ideology”), the use of psycholinguistic and mathematical methods for sociolinguistic purposes.
Prospects for Big Data Analysis Methods Application in the Research of Language Policy of Multiethniic Countries
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the RAS, Kaplunova Maria Ya.
Published: January 2023

In the digital age, the possibilities of communication have expanded significantly, which in turn has contributed to a change in approaches to social research, including research on political activity. Information technologies have contributed to the formation of a modern information space characterized by a high intensity of data exchange. Thus, sociolinguistics, as an interdisciplinary science, one of the objects of study of which is language policy, has faced new challenges in the form of big data, which at the same time open up new opportunities for the development of this field of study, which allows us to talk about the phenomenon of “language policy 2.0” at the present time.

The impact of financial reporting manipulations on the bankruptcy likelihood: A study of Nordic banks
Authors: Hundal Shab , Eskola Anne
Published: January 2023

The phenomenon of financial reporting manipulations and bankruptcy likelihood has always been a topic of interest among researchers. Corporate managers can have the motivation to compromise the financial reporting quality to hide the deteriorating financial health of the firms, nonetheless, if such practices go unabated then such firms can be exposed to serious outcomes in the form of their increased bankruptcy likelihood (Berglund & Makinen, 2016). The abovementioned outcome can be even more threatening in the banking sector due to its inherent nature. The current study aims to examine the impact of financial accounting manipulations on the likelihood of bankruptcy in Nordic banks. Beneish M-score model and Jones model have been applied to evaluate earnings quality, whereas financial distress has been measured by Altman Z-score model (Ebaid, 2022). Based on the analysis of secondary data collected from 33 Nordic banks for the period 2011–2018, the findings disclose that there is an absence of any systematic application of financial accounting manipulations measures, with a few exceptions, by the Nordic banks. Furthermore, there is no evidence to suggest that financial accounting manipulations increase the bankruptcy likelihood of banks. The current study is not only amongst the fewest empirical studies on the said topic conducted in the context of Nordic banks, but it also adds to methodological refinements by including two distinct measures of financial reporting quality to enhance the reliability and robustness of empirical findings.
Adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso em indivíduos com fibrose cística em um centro de referência no nordeste brasileiro
Authors: Matos Fontenelle Fernanda , Da Silva Vieira Lucas , Barros Faiçal Adriana Virgínia , Aquino Teixeira Marcia Cristina , Cana Brazil Juliana , Souza Edna Lúcia
Published: February 2023

Introdução: A fibrose cística (FC) é uma doença hereditária, autossômica recessiva, causada por mutações no gene Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator. Este gene codifica a proteína de mesmo nome, responsável pelo transporte de íons através das membranas das células epiteliais, presentes nas glândulas exócrinas dos tecidos de diversos órgãos, resultando no espessamento das secreções mucosas, ocorrendo, assim, disfunções orgânicas. Devido ao caráter multissistêmico, crônico e progressivo, a FC requer um tratamento diário longo e complexo, o que pode dificultar a adesão ao tratamento (AT). Objetivos: Avaliar a taxa de AT autorrelatada e aquela determinada com base nos registros de dispensação de medicamentos pela farmácia, em indivíduos com FC, e pesquisar a associação entre variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e a boa AT. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo de corte transversal, com a utilização de dois métodos. O teste de Morisky-Green (TMG) foi aplicado para medir a AT autorrelatada aos seguintes medicamentos: pancreatina, alfadornase e tobramicina. O TMG contém quatro questões referentes ao uso de cada medicamento, sendo que apenas uma resposta positiva a qualquer uma desses questionamentos, classifica o paciente como não aderente ao tratamento medicamentoso. O outro método avaliou o quantitativo de utilização destes fármacos com base nos registros de dispensação pela farmácia, de acordo com a prescrição médica, sendo que o percentual de uso igual ou superior a 80% dos medicamentos dispensados foi classificada como boa AT. Para avaliar a associação entre boa AT e variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas foram calculadas as razões de prevalência. Resultados e discussão: Houve boa AT autorreferida para o uso de pancreatina, alfadornase e a tobramicina inalatória de uso contínuo em, respectivamente, 65,8%, 50,0% e 44,4% dos participantes. De acordo com os registros da farmácia, os percentuais de boa AT foram 71,4%, 66,7%, 52,6%, para o uso de alfadornase, tobramicina de uso contínuo e pancreatina, respectivamente. Ao se comparar as duas metodológias, as taxas de concordância encontradas para o uso de cada medicamento foram: 64,0%, 75,0% e 85,7%, para pancreatina, tobramicina de uso contínuo e alfadornase, respectivamente. Os percentuais de boa AT encontrados foram baixos pelos dois métodos utilizados. Conclusões: As taxas de boa AT foram variáveis de acordo com o medicamento e a metodologia utilizada. A AT autorrelatada a pancreatina foi superior àquela dos medicamentos inalados. Os registros de dispensação da farmácia revelaram taxas de AT superiores para os medicamentos inalados. A boa AT associou-se à baixa idade do participante e ao sexo feminino para todos os medicamentos avaliados.
A importância da adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso em crianças e adolescentes que vivem com fibrose cística
Authors: Matos Fontenelle Fernanda , Dos Santos Neto Hermes Augusto , Carneiro Jane , Silva Diego , Brás Impene Combo Dulce
Published: February 2023

Introdução: A fibrose cística (FC) é uma doença genética, causada por mutações no gene Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR). Uma proteína de mesmo nome é codificada por este gene, sendo responsável pelo transporte de íons através das membranas das células epiteliais, presentes em diversos órgãos, resultando na produção de secreções espessas, causando desta forma, alterações orgânicas. Nas formas clássicas, caracteriza-se por doença pulmonar progressiva, disfunção pancreática exócrina e elevada concentração de cloro e sódio no suor. Em virtude do seu caráter crônico e progressivo, a FC requer um tratamento complexo e contínuo, executado inúmeras vezes ao dia, dificultando a adesão. A quantidade prescrita de medicamentos é inversamente proporcional à Adesão ao Tratamento (AT). O tratamento prescrito tem o intuito de proporcionar uma melhora progressiva da qualidade de vida do indivíduo. Objetivos: Mostrar a importância da AT medicamentoso no retardo da progressão da doença em indivíduos que vivem com FC. Métodos: Utilizou-se um estudo de corte transversal para medir a AT autorrelatada aos seguintes medicamentos: pancreatina, alfadornase e tobramicina. Associou-se à boa AT com variáveis clínicas, idade e sexo do paciente, através das razões de prevalência. Resultados e discussão: A mediana (Q1-Q3) de idade dos indivíduos foi de 7,3 (3,4 -12,4) anos Vinte e quatro indivíduos (55,8%) eram do sexo feminino. Os medicamentos eram usualmente administrados por um cuidador 39 (90,7%). Houve boa AT autorreferida para o uso dos medicamentos estudados, observando maior associação entre a AT e idade atual da criança inferior a 14 anos (RP=2,15) e sexo feminino (RP=1,35). Conclusões: A boa AT associou-se à baixa idade do participante e ao sexo feminino para todos os medicamentos, mostrando a importância do cuidador no monitoramento do tratamento prescrito. A AT é indispensável para as pessoas com FC, sendo necessário estudar os fatores que facilitem a transição da infância para a adolescência e criar estratégias para melhorar a adesão, com a finalidade de aumentar a expectativa média de vida e a sobrevida dos indivíduos afetados com esta patologia.
Erros de medicação em um centro de farmacovigilância de um Hospital Universitário
Authors: Almeida G. Q. , Santos G. B. N. , Noblat A. C. B. , Noblat L. A. C. B.
Published: February 2023

Introdução: Os erros de medicação são frequentes em todos os níveis do cuidado e o perfil de ocorrência varia de acordo com o serviço de saúde, medicamentos utilizados e população atendida. Tem como principal característica serem totalmente evitáveis e embora a maior parte dos erros sejam leves, podem gerar danos significativos ao paciente incluindo o óbito. Em média, 10% dos pacientes internados em hospitais sofrem algum tipo de evento adverso relacionado a medicamentos, metade dos quais são evitáveis. Em 2017, reconhecendo o alto risco de danos associados ao uso de medicamentos, a OMS lançou o terceiro Desafio Global de Segurança do Paciente com o tema “Medicação sem Danos” (“Medication Without Harm”) e, em 2022, para comemoração do dia mundial da segurança do paciente. Dessa forma, a segurança do paciente é um componente crítico da qualidade dos cuidados de saúde e tem como objetivo evitar danos acidentais aos pacientes, em qualquer processo no sistema de saúde. Objetivo: Descrever o perfil dos erros de medicação e quase falhas notificados em um Centro de Farmacovigilância (CFV) em Salvador-Bahia. Metodologia: Estudo retrospectivo, transversal para análise de erros notificados ao CFV de um Hospital Universitário no período de novembro de 2011 a setembro de 2022. Os incidentes foram categorizados quanto a etapa de ocorrência, tipo de evento e classificação de gravidade através do index NCC-MERP -National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention. Resultados e discussão: Foram notificados 1599 erros, sendo 898 (56,2%) classificados como Quase Falha e 701 (43,8%) erros de medicação sem dano. As principais etapas envolvidas foram prescrição 575/1839 (31,3%), administração 567/1839 (30,8%) e dispensação 471/1839 (25,6%), respectivamente, seguidas de armazenamento 98/1839 (5,3%), preparo/manipulação 63/1839 (3,4%), fracionamento 41/1839 (2,2%), rotulagem 12/1839 (0,6%), monitoramento 8/1839 90,4%), aprazamento 2/1839 (0,1%) e outros 2/1839 (0,1%). Os tipos de evento mais frequentes foram omissão de dose 418/1599 (26,1%) e dose incorreta 284/1599, dados semelhantes aos publicados em estudo brasileiro de erro de administração. A principal causa identificada para a ocorrência dos erros foi falta de atenção. É importante destacar que interrupções durante o processo de trabalho dos profissionais podem ser ocasionadas pelo próprio indivíduo ou por fontes externas, as quais incluem equipamentos, pessoas e o ambiente. Outro aspecto relevante é a sobrecarga de trabalho por dimensionamento inadequado de pessoal que também se associa a erros por interrupções frequentes no trabalho (ISMP, 2019). Em relação a classificação pelo NCCMERP, 16,6% classificado como Categoria A (77/456), 34,4% Categoria B (157/456), 45,8% Categoria C (209/456) e 2,9% categoria D (13/456). Conclusão: O perfil dos erros de medicação identificados não diverge dos descritos previamente na literatura para instituições com características semelhantes à do estudo.
Inserção da assistência farmacêutica em ambulatório com atendimento multidisciplinar ao portador de doença renal crônica em um hospital universitário da Cidade de Salvador – Bahia
Authors: Lima de Almeida Leite Bartyra , Nunes Wildemberg Brauer Alline Mikaele
Published: February 2023

Introdução: A Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) pode evoluir para terapia renal substitutiva. Controlar as doenças de base é imprescindível para retardar a progressão da DRC e o uso adequado de medicamentos está relacionado com resultados positivos. Nesse contexto, o profissional farmacêutico pode contribuir na identificação de problemas que interfiram na adesão e propor estratégias para alcançar as metas terapêuticas. Objetivos: Descrever a estruturação da assistência farmacêutica em um ambulatório com atendimento multidisciplinar ao paciente portador de DRC. Método: Trata-se de um relato de experiência sobre a inserção do profissional farmacêutico em um ambulatório multidisciplinar em um Hospital Universitário de Salvador-Bahia. Resultados/Discussão: A equipe é composta de 02 médicas, 02 farmacêuticas e 01 nutricionista que atendem uma média de 14 pacientes/dia. A inserção das farmacêuticas na equipe ocorreu em agosto/18, com o objetivo de trabalhar adesão terapêutica em pacientes com DRC nos estágios 4 e 5 não dialítico. O atendimento é realizado uma vez na semana e os pacientes são encaminhados para a consulta farmacêutica após consulta médica. Durante o atendimento, as farmacêuticas colhem informações relacionadas à experiência dos pacientes com os medicamentos: quais e como utilizam, onde os adquirem e armazenam em casa, qual a indicação de cada um e sua importância para o tratamento. Questões relacionadas a esquecimento, descuido no horário de administrar, esquecimento de adquirir novos medicamentos antes de acabarem são relevantes para avaliar o nível de adesão. A entrevista do paciente e o teste de Morisky e Green são ferramentas utilizadas para identificar e avaliar os fatores que interfiram no processo de adesão. O paciente que possuir baixa adesão é classificado com a necessidade de acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico e, então, estratégias são traçadas para promover a adesão à terapia. Essa prática é sistematizada e documentada no prontuário eletrônico. Caso seja observado durante o acompanhamento que a escolha da terapia farmacológica esteja impactando a adesão, uma discussão é realizada com a equipe médica e, quando possível, o medicamento é substituído para minimizar esse efeito negativo no resultado terapêutico. Conclusão: O presente relato mostra o desafio que é trabalhar a adesão terapêutica em pacientes com DRC e que a inserção do farmacêutico na equipe multidisciplinar é fundamental para que os objetivos terapêuticos sejam alcançados.
Adjunctive use of metformin in the treatment of atypical antipsychotic-induced weight gain
Authors: Knezevic Vladimir , Abazovic Minja , Dickov Aleksandra , Ratkovic Dragana , Comic Masa , Savic Predrag
Published: February 2023

Introduction. Atypical antipsychotics are the gold standard in the treatment
of psychotic and other mental disorders due to their efficacy and
tolerability. However, the relatively frequent occurrence of
antipsychotic-induced metabolic syndrome has encouraged research into
possible solutions to this problem, including the adjunctive use of
metformin. The aim of this review article is to present a concise,
comprehensive and critical overview of the aforementioned issue based on the
analysis of available experimental research. Material and Methods. PubMed
and Google Scholar databases were searched for relevant literature published
in a fifteen-year period between 2008 and 2022. The following terms were
used in the search: atypical antipsychotics, metformin, and weight gain.
Only double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, and cohort studies were
taken into consideration. Results. A total of 145 papers were analyzed, of
which 10 papers with 852 subjects met the inclusion criteria. All the
reviewed studies concluded that the adjunctive administration of metformin
at a daily dose of 500 mg to 2,000 mg has significantly reduced atypical
antipsychotic-induced weight gain, with a favorable effect on other
metabolic parameters that were examined in the analyzed papers. Conclusion.
Taking into account the increased cardiovascular morbidity and the
consequent mortality among those who have been using atypical antipsychotics
in the long term, it is necessary to assess the risks and benefits of
introducing adjunctive metformin in every patient who is at risk of
developing metabolic syndrome. In order to recommend the routine use of
metformin in such indications, studies that would include a larger sample
and a longer period of treatment are needed.

Authors: Tosic Milan , Vukosav Nikola , Majkic Milan , Baljak Branko , Milinkov Milan , Ninkovic Srdjan
Published: February 2023

Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to present and analyze the results
of treatment of anterior soft-tissue shoulder instability using an open
surgical technique with a minimally invasive anterior approach, as well as
to emphasize the benefits of using an open surgical procedure in high-risk
patients. Material and Methods. All patients underwent surgery at the Clinic
of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology in Novi Sad in the period between
January 2013 and September 2017. Out of 138 patients undergoing surgery for
anterior shoulder instability, 40 patients came for follow-up examination.
The average age of subjects was 27 ? 6. Medical history was taken from each
patient and the range of motion and muscle strength of the operated shoulder
was examined. The subjects filled out a questionnaire regarding the
functional status of the operated shoulder, their experience in resuming
sports activities, and their subjective feeling of pain. The Constant-Murley
score was used to assess the postoperative results. Results.
Postoperatively, the mean Constant-Murley score was 90.3 ? 11.5, while 87.5%
patients had excellent and good results. Compared to the contralateral
uninjured shoulder, there was a statistically significant difference (p <
0.05) in the Constant-Murley score, in external rotation of the abducted
shoulder (13.2? ? 10.4?), as well as in shoulder adduction (10.25? ? 9.7?).
Out of 35 patients who were athletes, 27 continued to actively engage in
sports following the surgical treatment. Four patients had a re-dislocation
(10%). Conclusion. Open surgical treatment of the anterior shoulder joint
instability using a minimally invasive anterior approach is a reliable,
time-tested procedure that provides favorable clinical results in young
high-risk contact and overhead athletes with timely diagnosis and surgical
care.
Inequality of women in the labor market in the context of the green economy
Authors: Ostojic Ivana , Maksimovic Marijana , Stojkovic-Zlatanovic Sanja
Published: January 2023

Society and economies face the necessity of social, political and,
consequently, legal addressing of discrimination based on different personal
characteristics, such as gender, race, language, political opinion, national
origin, and ethnic and social status. In this regard, it is possible to look
at, especially from the conceptual-theoretical, as well as the accompanying
applicative aspect, and give a conceptual demarcation of (gender) equality
in relation to the institute of women?s inequality as an established
vulnerable category in workplaces. For many years throughout history in
traditional and patriarchal societies, women had a subordinate position with
an emphasis on the dominance of the paternalistic concept of man?s position
in the world of work. However, in the last decade, as more is being written,
spoken, and more research is being conducted on the subject of
discrimination at work, efforts have been made to solve this problem. The
latest trends related to the transition to a green economy also aim to
promote the importance and necessity of mitigating factual inequality
between the sexes with legal measures deriving from the principle of equal
opportunities and procedures in employment and work. The subject of this
analysis is an overview of gender inequalities in the labour market, Norway,
Slovenia and Serbia, which were taken as examples of good practices in the
period from 2015 to 2021. The comparison is made with a focus on the current
concept of promoting a green economy and sustainable development. The goal
of the paper is to determine whether the green economy is a chance to
alleviate inequality and increase equality in the labour market, or whether
it carries limitations that can hardly be overcome when it comes to the
world of work.
Growing Income-Related Disparities in Cardiovascular Hospitalizations Among People With Diabetes, 1995–2019: A Population-Based Study
Authors: Shah Baiju R. , Austin Peter C. , Ke Calvin , Lipscombe Lorraine L. , Weisman Alanna , Booth Gillian L.
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

Cardiovascular risk reduction is an important focus in the management of people with diabetes. Although event rates have been declining over the long term, they have been observed to plateau or reverse in recent years. Furthermore, the impact of income-related disparities in cardiovascular events is unknown. The objective of this study is to evaluate age-, sex-, and income-related trends in cardiovascular hospitalization rates among people with diagnosed diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We calculated rates of hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and lower-extremity amputation in annual cohorts of the entire population of Ontario, Canada, with diagnosed diabetes, from 1995 to 2019. Event rates were stratified by age, sex, and income level.

RESULTS

We studied nearly 1.7 million people with diabetes. The rate of acute myocardial infarction declined throughout the 25-year study period (P < 0.0001), such that the rate in 2019 was less than half the rate in 1995. Rates of stroke (P < 0.0001), heart failure (P < 0.0001), and amputation (P < 0.0001) also changed over time, but hospitalization rates stabilized through the 2010s. This apparent stabilization concealed a growing income-related disparity: wealthier patients showed continued declines in rates of these outcomes during the decade, whereas rates for lower-income patients increased (P for interaction < 0.0001 for all four outcomes).

CONCLUSIONS

During a quarter-century of follow-up, cardiovascular hospitalization rates among people with diabetes fell. However, the apparent stabilization in rates of stroke, heart failure, and amputation in recent years masks the fact that rates have risen for lower-income individuals.

Published: January 2023

Verimliliğin öneminin arttığı günümüz dünyasında, üstün özelliklere sahip mühendislik malzemelerinin istenilen kalitede ve en uygun şartlarda şekillendirilebilmeleri büyük önem kazanmıştır. Refrakter metallerden olan molibden ve alaşımları, yüksek sıcaklık uygulamaları için uzay, havacılık, savunma ve biyomedikal gibi ileri teknolojilerin kullanıldığı sektörlerde bütünün en kritik parçalarının üretiminde yer bulan eşsiz malzemelerdendir. Refrakter metaller zor işlenen malzemeler olarak bilinir ve bu malzemelerin birim maliyetleri nispeten yüksektir. Malzemelerin bu özellikleri işleme verimliliğini olumsuz etkilemekte ve üretim maliyetlerini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada saf molibden, TZM (Titanyum-Zirkonyum-Molibden) ve MHC (Molibden-Hafniyum-Karbon) alaşımlarının frezelenmesi sürecinde kesici takımlarda meydana gelen aşınmalar ve takım ömrü incelenmiştir. Deneysel çalışmada kesici takım ve kesme parametrelerinin belirlenmesinde literatürde yer alan çalışmalar dikkate alınarak optimum kesici takım ve kesme parametreleri belirlenmiştir.

Statsutvikling nedenfra i Norge ca. 1500–1814
Authors: Dørum Knut
Published: February 2023

State building in Norway, as well as in most of Europe between c. 1500–1814, was most often a top-down process; rules and regulations, bureaucracy and military organization were implemented in urban and rural societies very much from “above”. I claim, however, that the people “below” developed effective means of and strategies for influencing the state-building process throughout the early modern period. They helped to shape the scope and character of state institutions in a variety of ways, as described in this article. In Norway, the prerequisites for state building from below are better compared to those of Denmark and other parts of Europe based on manor economy and manorial bondage. Norwegian peasants managed to exploit tax increases and expand local self-government, while the elites in Denmark-Norway exerted tremendous influence in the process of moderating the system of absolutism. In 1814, the civil society in Norway that emerged around 1770–1790 took action to abolish autocratic government when it implemented a constitutional monarchy.

Urgensi penelitian ini didasarkan pada fenomena yang mengindikasikan belum efektifnya sinergitas kebijakan diantara berbagai pemangku kepentingan, baik di tingkat pusat maupun daerah dalam pengadaan rumah bagi masyarakat yang berpenghasilan rendah (MBR). Kondisi tersebut, kemudian berimplikasi terhadap munculnya disparitas antara kebutuhan dengan kemampuan dalam menyediakan rumah yang layak bagi masyarakat.

Mengingat konsep dan basis teori sinergitas kebijakan publik saat ini, masih terbatas referensinya, maka penelitian ini coba diarahkan untuk mengkonstruksi sebuah konsep sinergitas kebijakan public yang diharapkan dapat memperkaya khasanah konsep dan teori sinergitas kebijakan publik. Dengan demikian, diharapkan dapat menumbuhkan diskursus dan dialetika dalam mengembangkan ilmu, khususnya ilmu kebijakan public. Sejalan dengan konteks tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui metode Grounded Theory Research. Sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data, dilakukan dengan menggunakan wawancara mendalam, studi kepustakaan, observasi dan dokumentasi.

Hasil dari penelitian menemukan konsep sinergitas kebijakan publik yang terkonstruksi dari lima dimensi dan dua puluh indikator, yakni dimensi persamaan persepsi, potensi sumber daya, pola komunikasi, sikap pelaku kebijakan, dan struktur organisasi. Dimensi persamaan persepsi, meliputi; indikator persamaan persepsi tentang tujuan, isi, program dan pelaksanaan. Dimensi potensi sumber daya meliputi; indikator kemampuan  sumber daya manusia, anggaran, fasilitas dan teknologi dalam mensinergiskan kebijakan. Dimensi pola komunikasi, meliputi; indikator kejelasan, kecepatan, ketepatan pola komunikasi, bentuk sosialisasi, model kerjasama, dan kelengkapan informasi. Dimensi sikap pelaku kebijakan, meliputi; indikator responsivitas, konsistensi, dan komitmen pemangku kepentingan. Dimensi struktur organisasi meliputi; indikator pembagian wewenang, dukungan semua pemangku kepentingan dan kejelasan prosedur pelaksanaan kebijakan.
Snapshots of Malaysian Academics in International Engagement
Authors: Abdullah Doria , Azman Norzaini , Wan Chang Da , Abdullah Nik Sabrina
Published: February 2023

Higher education academics in Malaysia are encouraged to enhance their outreach and international experience via engagement beyond the campus. Such activities are considered paramount in fostering competence, credibility and relevance of the Malaysian higher education system as a whole. This paper explores the experiences and perceptions of internationalisation based on the Academic Profession in the Knowledge-Based Society (APIKS) global survey on academics (n=4368) in Malaysian higher education institutions (2019–2020). The primary purpose is to highlight Malaysian academics’ perceptions of internationalisation in their teaching, research and publication activities as well as their perceptions of the outcomes of internationalisation, including their institutional strategies and support for internationalisation. In addition, cross-sectional analyses of various groups (education background, rank and university types) were carried out to see the differences between them in internationalisation activities. The findings indicate that while Malaysian academics were quite international in their teaching and research orientations, this was less pronounced in their publications. International outcomes leaned strongly towards enhancing institutional reputation and academic quality. While the respondents had positive responses to institutional strategies for internationalisation, they seemed less assured of sufficient commitment, in terms of funding, to support scholarly activities. The findings also confirm the existence of differences among age groups, institution types and ranks on individual international research and publication practices. This paper concludes with recommendations for policy and practice on academic mobility, research support and professional development.

Authors: Iskandar Rodzan , Kesuma Mezan El Khaeri
Published: January 2023

This research 0aims to design a Real-time ID card detection based on Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR detects and records information into CSV files using a camera. Hopefully, it can become one of the administrative solutions in Indonesia by using existing identity cards using OCR in real time. This research method was carried out independently in August 2021 using ID cards as objects. The tool involved was a 320x320 pixel webcam camera on an HP Intel Core i5 7th Gen notebook. The software used by Easy OCR was Pytorch-based. ID cards were detected using an algorithm by TensorFlow object detection with SSD MobileNet V2 FPNLite 320x320 as the pre-trained model of Tensorflow. The researchers collected ID card images using a webcam with various light conditions and orientations and label them using labeling. The researchers trained it with only 20 photos. After 3000 training steps, the researchers obtained about 0.17 loss and 0.95. Thus, the ID card detection tool using OCR runs well.
AKTIVISME NON GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION DALAM MENCIPTAKAN KESETARAAN GENDER (Studi Kasus Peran Econatural Society Dalam Pemberdayaan Perempuan)
Authors: Angraeni Ema , Kaslam Kaslam
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to analyze the role of NGOs, especially the Econatural Society in empowering women. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative, which seeks to reveal a phenomenon that occurs in society with a descriptive approach. The data used comes from the results of interviews and direct observations made by the author at the location of the Econatural Society's activities. While the supporting data is taken from references such as journals, books and news on the website. As a result, the authors found the fact that the Econatural Society, as an independent institution and acts as a facilitator in empowerment in the community, has provided opportunities for women (especially housewives). They need life skills such as hydroponic plant cultivation, maggot cultivation, catfish cultivation using tarpaulins, by utilizing unused land in Makassar City. The Econatural Society fosters women so that they can generate and increase the income of housewives, on the other hand, these activities can be carried out easily because they do not require excessive time and energy. This proves that one of Econatural's roles is to empower women in the community to create gender equality and increase the income and economy of the surrounding community.
