Published: August 2024

Background
Option B + is an advanced strategy in the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) recommended by the World Health Organization to enhance the care for HIV-positive pregnant and lactating women. Lost to follow-up in the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission service poses a significant public health challenge. Yet, there is limited understanding of the incidence and predictors influencing LTFU among HIV-infected women under the Option B + PMTCT program.
Methods
A retrospective follow-up study was conducted at various health institutions in Debre Birehan town from March 11 to April 11, 2024. Simple random sampling was used to select 280 HIV-infected Pregnant and lactating women under option B + PMTCT service. Data were extracted from the PMTCT registers and individual medical records using a checklist, and linked together for analysis. The patients' characteristics were analyzed in terms of frequency and percentage. The cumulative survival probability of loss to follow-up was determined using the Kaplan-Meier survivor estimator and predictors influencing LTFU were identified using the Cox regression model. All potential predictors with a p-value of < 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval were declared statistically significant and presented as Adjusted Hazard Ratios.
Result
The cumulative incidence rate of loss to follow-up (LTFU) was found to be 8.04 (95% CI 5.6–11.3) cases per 1000 person-months with restricted mean survival time of 25.14 (95% CI: 24.25–26.04) months. The median follow-up time of the follow-up period was 16 (IQR 10–19) months. Lower level of formal education (AHR 9.8, 95% CI 1.2–21), non-disclosure of HIV status (AHR 3.0, 95% CI 1.6–12.4), and fair antiretroviral drug adherence (AHR 3.0, 95% CI 1.6–12.4) were significantly associated with lost to follow-up among women.
Conclusions and recommendations:
The overall incidence rate of lost to follow-up is higher than the national and World Health Organization target. Lost to follow-up was found to be influenced by educational status, disclosure of HIV status, and level of medication adherence.
Enhanced Fine-Grained Visual Classification through Lightweight Transformer Integration and Auxiliary Information Fusion
Authors: Zhu Zhenyang , Li Li , He Ketai
Published: August 2024

Fine-grained visual classification (FGVC) involves classifying multiple subcat-egories within a unified major category, a task characterized by significant intra-class variability and minimal inter-class differences. Previous methods often rely on pre-trained visual models augmented with specialized modules, typically using large scale models that are challenging for industrial deployment. Moreover , image data often comes with auxiliary information (e.g., spatiotemporal priors, attributes, and text descriptions), offering opportunities to enhance FGVC accuracy. Here we propose a novel lightweight Transformer-based approach that incorporates additional auxiliary information to enhance classification accuracy. Our method introduces a simplified pixel-focused aggregation attention (AA) to achieve local and global feature fusion and improves it with a separable aggre-gation attention (SAA) to reduce model complexity. We also present the Extra Inside Padding (EIP) method for integrating auxiliary information with minimal additional parameters. Without pre-training, our model surpasses other lightweight neural networks on fine-grained datasets such as CUB-200-2011, demonstrating a significant improvement in accuracy. Our approach offers a promising direction for FGVC tasks, highlighting the effectiveness of integrating multimodal data for enhanced performance.

Published: August 2024

Backgroud
Frailty is a significant public health concern among the elderly, with social frailty closely linked to the development and progression of physical frailty. This study examines the current status and influencing factors of social frailty among older adults in China, and explores the impact of different dimensions of social frailty on the degree of physical frailty to provide insights for delaying physical frailty.
Methods
Data were sourced from the Fourth Sample Survey of the Aged Population in Urban and Rural China by the China National Committee on Aging. Physical frailty was assessed using a frailty index model, and principal component analysis determined the dimensions of social frailty. Multifactorial linear regression and logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationships between various dimensions of social frailty and frailty, as well as their impacts on the degree of frailty.
Results
A total of 12,788 older adults were included in the analysis. The frailty index (FI) value was 0.14 ± 0.10, showing an exponential increase with age, and at any age, females had higher FI values than males. Principal component analysis revealed that social frailty in the elderly primarily encompasses dimensions of living conditions, social support, social participation, economic status, and living environment. Multivariate linear regression results indicated that older adults with higher degrees of frailty are more vulnerable in terms of social support, social participation, economic status, and living environment (r = 0.095, 0.198, 0.226, 0.199, all P = 0.000), while the association with living conditions was not statistically significant. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that apart from the living conditions dimension, social support, social participation, economic status, and living environment are associated with an increased risk of frailty, with economic status having the most significant impact, followed by living environment, social support, or social participation.
Conclusions
Social frailty is common among the elderly, and there is a reciprocal and promotive interaction between social and physical frailty. The impacts of different dimensions of social frailty on frailty vary, suggesting that targeted interventions should be developed to address various dimensions of social frailty to mitigate its effects on the frailty of older adults.

Authors: Choi Seung-Su , Jung Young Sung , Hwang Gyo-Ha , Lee Sanggil , Han Nam Soo , Kim Dae-Ok
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the correlation between phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacities of Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.) bark (RPB) fractions under in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. RPB extracts were obtained using 70% (v/v) aqueous ethanol and further fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water. Their antioxidant capacities were evaluated using three antioxidant assays. Phenolic compounds were quantified using a liquid chromatography system to assess their stability. The antioxidant capacity of RPB extract and its fractions were found to be significantly influenced by the digestive process. Gastric digestion increased the contents of procyanidin B1 and catechin, whereas intestinal digestion degraded most of the phenolic compounds except protocatechuic acid. Principal component analysis results showed that taxifolin had the greatest impact on data variability, indicating that this polyphenol plays an important role in the antioxidant capacity of RPB. This study provides insights into the stability and bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds in RPB under simulated gastrointestinal conditions, supporting its potential use as a source of natural antioxidants in dietary supplements.
Revisiting A Simple MLP Framework for Z-axis Rotation-invariant Point Cloud Place Recognition
Authors: Wu Junwei , Liu Jiejie , Sun Mingjie , Jiang Chenru , Smith Jeremy , Lim Eng Gee , Zhang Quan
Published: August 2024

The objective of point cloud place recognition is to convert a point cloud into a global descriptor that can be utilized in autonomous driving applications to identify the best-matched road scene from an extensive dataset. However, capturing a point cloud from an arbitrary view by robots or self-driving vehicles often involves scene rotations, making existing deep learning-based methods susceptible to errors.To quantify this performance degradation, we introduce a novel metric: Average Recall@N under arbitrary rotations, denoted as ''R-AR@N''. To address this issue, we propose a Geometrical Transformation Module designed to convert rotation-sensitive coordinates into rotation-invariant representations. Additionally, we observe that the design of overly complex networks may not be crucial for effective point cloud analysis. In line with the straightforward architectural design of PointMLP \cite{pointmlp}, we introduce a Local Feature Transformation module that utilizes statistical representations to transform local point features within a reasonable range. This enables the network to capture diverse geometric structures and generate a robust global descriptor.Our proposed method undergoes extensive evaluation on the Oxford outdoor dataset and three in-house datasets, demonstrating an improvement of at least 2\% over previous methods on the newly proposed ''R-AR@N'' metric.

Authors: Widiawati Widiawati , Junjunan Mochammad Ilyas
Published: August 2024

This study aims to find out how to analyze the activity-based costing method in calculating unit costs at Sidoarjo district hospital. This study emphasizes the concept of activity-based costing in setting rates for hospital inpatient classes based on unit cost calculations. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach research method. Data obtained by observing and documenting. Test the validity of the data using triangulation and data sources. Then the data analysis technique used in this research is qualitative analysis of interactive models from Miles and Huberman. The results of the study show that in calculating hospitalization rates using the activity-based costing method and traditional methods there are differences in the number of rates set, resulting in differences in several classes, namely Super VVIP B class and class III. Even though some classes get insurance from outside parties, there are still some classes whose rates are cheaper when calculated using traditional methods. This is due to the large number of inpatients who choose class I over other classes, due to differences in facilities.  The implication of this study is the difference in the overhead costs for each product or inpatient class, in the traditional method the overhead costs for each inpatient room are only charged to one cost driver. Whereas in the activity-based costing method, overhead costs are charged to each product or inpatient room with several cost drivers.
Mechanistic understanding of dehydroxylation reaction of smectites: Insights from reactive force field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics simulation
Authors: Gao Pengyuan , Zhang Yingchun , Liu Xiandong , Lu Xiancai
Published: August 2024

Smectite, a major barrier material for contaminants in Earth’s critical zone, is a layered aluminosilicate mineral with cis-vacant (cv) and trans-vacant (tv) configurations. High-temperature transformations of smectite are directly related to the smectite’s thermal reactions. However, the precise thermal reaction mechanism and thermally induced structural transition of cv and tv smectites remain debated. In this study, we systematically investigated the mechanism of thermal reactions of cv and tv smectite models using reactive force field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics. We explored the deprotonation and the intralayer dehydration steps of cv and tv smectites at 700K and 900K. The results revealed that the dehydroxylation reaction of cv smectite exhibited more difficulty than tv smectite at 700K, while demonstrating easier at 900K. Furthermore, it is found that the dehydroxylated cv and tv smectites evolved to a consistent structure spontaneously. Our findings further confirmed that cv smectite has a higher dehydroxylation temperature than tv smectite and thus provided a theoretical basis for distinguishing cv and tv smectites using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, we gathered TGA data of smectites from different regions, confirming that montmorillonites have cv structure and almost all smectites from China (over 11 provinces) are cv. This study provides a molecular-level understanding of the thermal reaction mechanisms of smectites and a physical basis for further study and application of smectites.

Published: August 2024

Palygoskite pellets were synthesized with lignin and WAX® and subjected to technological characterization for application in the remediation of Pb ions contained in aqueous effluents. X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization of the palygorskite:lignin:WAX® material in a proportion of 70:15:15 revealed that the heat treatment of the pellets did not compromise the crystalline structure of the palygoskite. Texture analyses demonstrated that the surface area increased after synthesis and heat treatment, thus increasing the adsorption capacity. Regarding porosity, X-ray microtomography revealed that the pellets exhibit an irregular and porous spherical morphology with interconnected pores. Adsorption tests showed a removal of 73% of PbII contained in aqueous effluents after 15 min, with equilibrium reached in 60 min (88.36%). After the adsorption process, the presence of lead in the material was qualitatively confirmed through scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) images. The produced pellets exhibit promising adsorbent qualities, such as strength and effective PbII ion adsorption.

Authors: Tairova A. T.
Published: August 2024

Purpose of the study. Studying international experience in the field of conducting Labor Force Surveys, comparing it and developing recommendations and proposals for improving methods of conducting Labor Force Surveys in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Materials and methods. The research methodology consists of a comprehensive analysis of the methodological provisions of some countries for conducting a Labor Force Survey, summarizing the key points arising from the analysis of literature on the topic, grouping them, comparing the methods of conducting a Labor Force Survey in some countries, the responsible departments, sampling methods and its size, the population being surveyed, etc.

A graphical analysis of key statistical data obtained from the labor force survey was also carried out.

Results. Based on the results of the study, a comparative table was compiled containing basic information about methods of conducting a Labor Force Survey in some countries. A graph has been compiled reflecting the situation with the employment and unemployment rates in the countries studied. Conclusions and proposals are also given for improving the methods of conducting a Labor Force Survey in the Republic of Uzbekistan, including the organization of a population census, the creation of a unified housing register and a population register, and the transition to a mixed collection of information using the CAPI-CATI method.

Conclusion. The Labor Force Survey is recognized by countries as an important source of labor data. At the same time, approaches to forming a sample of households to be included in the survey are carried out differently in different countries. Most countries use the CAPI interviewing method, in which the respondent or interviewer uses an electronic device to answer questions, usually a tablet. The quality of the generated indicators, and therefore the effectiveness of government measures taken to support employment and reduce tensions in the labor market, depends on the quality of the Labor Force Survey. In this regard, proposals for improving the way Labor Force Surveys are conducted may be applicable in the Republic of Uzbekistan and improve the country's ranking in the Statistical Capacity Index.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of autoarterial revascularization involving Y-composite grafts and in situ conduits out of the internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) at the hospital period and after a year follow-up.Methods: The study included 200 patients with coronary artery disease who underwent coronary bypass surgery over the period from March 2018 to March 2021. Patients were randomized using the envelope method into 2 groups: in the first group, autoarterial conduits out of the ITAs were used according to the in situ method (n = 100); in the second group, autoarterial conduits with the formation of a Y-composite grafts out of ITAs (n = 100) were put into practice. The primary endpoints of the study were the incidence of repeat revascularization and amount of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in the level of freedom from MACCE; in the in situ and Y-composite groups the indicators were 97.9% (95% CI 92.1-99.5) and 94.8% (95% CI 88.1‑97.8; P = 0.24), respectively. In a year follow-up, freedom from repeated revascularization amounted to 97.9% in the in situ group (95% CI 92-99.4), and 97.9% in the Y-composite group (95% CI 91.9-99.4; P = 0.97). A significant difference was registered in the surgery duration, which in the in situ group lasted 235 [197.5; 252.5] minutes versus 252.5 [225; 290] minutes in the Y-composite group, P < 0.002. In the Y-composite group, the rate of infectious complications on the breast bone was significantly more frequent than in the in situ group (P < 0.023).Conclusion: Despite the hypothetical advantages of bimammar coronary bypass surgery over the Y-configuration one, this study did not reveal significant differences in outcomes between the in situ and Y-composite groups.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: The clinical significance of parameters characterizing left ventricular diastolic function after cardiac surgery has not been sufficiently studied. Objective: The study was aimed to test the hypothesis about the relationship between echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular diastolic function and the severe perioperative myocardial injury.Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 220 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. We analyzed the degree of diastolic dysfunction, and transmittal blood flow characteristics including left ventricular early diastolic filling velocity (E-wave), and the ratio of E-wave to left atrial systole filling velocity (E/A), left atrial volume index, tricuspid regurgitation velocity, mean mitral valve annulus velocity (e'), and E/e' ratio according to echocardiography before and after surgery. Severe perioperative myocardial injury (the primary outcome) was identified when the high-sensitivity troponin I concentration reached a level greater than 5,670 ng/L on the first day after surgery.Results: ROC analysis showed that E-wave greater than 71 cm/s and E/A greater than 1.3 were associated with severe perioperative myocardial injury. In addition, diastolic dysfunction of grade 2 and 3 was found in 13.1% of patients with postoperative troponin I levels less than 5,670 ng/L and in 42.9% of patients with levels greater than 5,670 ng/L (P = 0.009). Conclusion: Postoperative degree of diastolic dysfunction and transmitral blood flow parameters are associated with prognostically unfavorable troponin I levels.

Published: August 2024

Economic growth is an indicator in determining the success of a country. Differences in characteristics between provinces in Indonesia and especially in East Nusa Tenggara Province have differences in natural, economic, and social resources. Judging from the level of economic growth that is still low, when compared to other provinces in Indonesia, the province of NTT is ranked 33 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia. In addition, the level of education in NTT Province is still considered low, which can be seen from the average length of schooling of residents in NTT only up to grade 1 (one) junior high school. As well as other problems such as the number of unemployed being quite high, and the high number of poverty are ranked 3 (three) in Indonesia. One of the conditions is the lack of availability of jobs that makes residents in the Province of NTT choose to work abroad to become migrant workers. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of Economic Growth, Education, Unemployment, and Poverty on the Migration of Indonesian Migrant Workers abroad in the population in the Province of NTT 2015-2020. This study uses panel data analysis and secondary data, using explanatory research. The result of this study is that the variables of Economic Growth, Education, and Poverty have a significant effect on the Migration variable. While the Unemployment variable has no significant effect on the Migration variable.

One of the recurring issues in developing countries like Indonesia is the high level of income inequality. This can be attributed to several factors, including uneven economic growth (Gross Regional Domestic Product - GRDP) among the regions in Indonesia, where some provinces experience significant development while others with low GRDP lag behind due to a lack of interest from external parties, apart from the government, to invest in these underdeveloped areas. Additionally, the low attractiveness of certain provinces to investors results in reduced labor productivity, as there is limited capital available to produce goods and services, leading to income disparities among the provinces. Therefore, one of the policies that each regional government should implement is gradually increasing the minimum wage to promote more equitable income distribution. This research aims to investigate the influence of GRDP, provincial minimum wage, labor productivity, and investment on the open unemployment rate in Indonesia from 2015 to 2019. The research utilizes a quantitative approach with secondary data in the form of a panel dataset from 34 provinces in Indonesia during the period of 2015-2019. The data is then analyzed using panel regression through Eviews version 10. The results of this research indicate that these factors significantly and jointly affect income inequality in Indonesia from 2015 to 2019.

Economic growth is an indicator of a country’s economic activity. It can also be used to analyze the country’s economic development. However, in reality, Indonesia’s economic growth is still slower than its four ASEAN peer countries, i.e. Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. In terms of internet usage, those countries also have a far higher percentage of internet users. Using the simultaneous model with Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS), this research attempts to estimate the impact of information and communication technology development on Indonesia’s economic growth and to analyze factors affecting the development of information and communication technology in the country. This research uses the 2012, 2015, and 2019 data of Statistics Indonesia, as well as the 2012-2020 interval data of the same source. This study finds that the development of information and communication technology significantly affects Indonesia’s economic growth and that factors affecting the development of information and communication technology in Indonesia are education index and export. Based on the findings above, the government and related parties are suggested to boost educational equity and intensify international trade that can enhance the use of technology in Indonesia.
