Published: July 2022

Introduction: Children with physical disabilities (CWPD) have historically experienced inadequate and insensitive care across medical settings. A lack of comfort and knowledge about CWPD is prevalent amongst healthcare provider trainees. We developed a new, readily distributable educational resource about CWPD for healthcare professions students and conducted a preliminary study to determine its efficacy in addressing student attitudes towards CWPD.Methods: We collaborated with a working group of stakeholders in the disability community to develop an educational resource for healthcare students. We developed 9 short video clips (with a cumulative duration of 27 minutes) of a primary care visit using simulated participants and embedded them into a 50-minute workshop. We conducted a preliminary study of the workshop for volunteer healthcare professions students using synchronous videoconferencing. Participating students completed assessments at baseline and after the workshop. Our primary outcome measure was change in the Attitudes to Disabled Persons - Original (ATDP-O) scale.Results: Forty-nine healthcare students participated in the training session: 29 (59%) from medicine, and 21 (41%) from physician assistant or nursing programs. The materials were easy to deliver virtually. The workshop resulted in measurable changes in attitudes regarding physical disabilities, with improvement in ATDP-O scores between baseline (M=31.2, SD=8.9) and endpoint (M=34.8, SD=10.1) scores (t(49)= 3.28, p = 0.002, Cohen’s d = 0.38). Conclusions: This video-based educational resource on CWPD is readily distributable and can be delivered virtually as a workshop. In our preliminary study, the workshop improved healthcare students’ perceptions and attitudes toward CWPDs. All materials are available to view, download, or adapt by end-use instructors.
Influence of Hydraulic Response Time of Tensiometer in Hydraulic Characteristics Estimation for Riverbank Sand
Authors: Patwa Deepak , Tadikonda Bharat Venkata
Published: July 2022

The knowledge of the continuous evolution of soil hydraulic characteristics is required for several environmental geotechnical applications such as capillary barrier systems and river bank slope stability analysis. Such data are obtained in the field by embedding suction sensors in slopes for stability analysis. The hydraulic equilibrium time and other limitations of sensors in establishing the hydraulic characteristics are not available for the compacted soils. Thus the influence of initial soil moisture content, initial wetting condition of the suction sensor, and soil compaction density on the hydraulic equilibrium time of the tensiometer was studied on riverbank sand. A laboratory method considering the equilibrium data at each saturation/drying state was proposed for establishing the equilibrium-SWCC data. The hydraulic equilibrium time of the tensiometer for the studied soil was found to vary from few hours to several days depending upon the magnitude of suction and state of the sensor. The conventional method for estimating the instantaneous SWCC severely overestimated the suction values at a given water content. The sensor response time was found to be the single most influencing factor in the estimation of soil hydraulic characteristics. The in-situ tensiometer application should be replaced with the moisture sensor readings combined with the lab-based proposed equilibrium SWCC approach.
A Framework for Numerical and Experimental Correlation of Mode Shapes with Low Spatial Resolution: A Catamaran´s case study
Authors: Castro Brenno Moura , Monteiro Ulisses A. , Gutierrez Ricardo H. R. , Vaz Luiz A.
Published: July 2022

This work presents a framework for correlating numerical and experimental mode shapes with low spatial resolution using the Local Correspondence of Modes and Modal Coordinates (LCMC). As a case study, an operational modal analysis of a catamaran was performed. Thirteen global natural frequencies and their respective modes were identified in the range between 1 Hz and 50 Hz, using only six sensors placed on its main deck. Thus, due to experimental modes' spatial incompleteness, this required its full numerical model to be assembled and reduced using the System Equivalent Reduction Expansion Process (SEREP) to its main deck. Consequently, the reduced numerical modal matrix was used to fill in the gaps in the sparse set of the experimental modes, creating the mixed modal matrix. Then, this matrix was correlated and expanded using LCMC to the degrees of freedom (DOFs) that have not been measured. As a result, the spatial resolution of the catamaran's experimental mode shapes was successfully increased from 6 to 174 DOFs. In general, the use of LCMC improved the Modal Assurance Criteria (MAC) of the correlated modes matrix compared to the MAC of the mixed modal matrix.
The Impact of Socio-Economic Volatility on Business Value Growth in Ukraine
Authors: Zakharkina Ludmila S. , Novikov Volodymyr M.
Published: July 2022

Today, financial markets are undergoing transformation and change under the influence of economic turbulence, accelerating technological development and globalization. There is a demand for entrepreneurship, which aims to maximize market value, innovation and social development. However, the relative importance of various factors that determine the general state of the business and the possibility of its growth is not yet clear. In general, this study emphasizes the need to study the impact of macro- and microeconomic indicators of the environment on business profitability in dynamics.
To assess the impact of macroeconomic indicators on the profitability of small, medium and large businesses, based on the analysis of literature sources formed research hypotheses, which were tested by correlation and regression analysis. The research method used is based on the condition where the value of p <0.05 is significant. Among the independent indicators, the initial data were selected unemployment rate, inflation index, capital investment in enterprises and sales. The value of net profit among small, medium and large enterprises during 2010−2020 was chosen as a dependent variable.
The regression coefficient R = 0.8883 indicates a high density of the relationship between net profit of enterprises and independent factors. Given the results obtained, it can be seen that the inflation rate was statistically significant for the model (p = 0.0249). The level of net profit and the overall level of business stability is growing due to the slowdown in inflation.
This new understanding should help to improve forecasts of the impact of macroeconomic factors on business development, as well as the ability to anticipate further actions of owners and shareholders of such enterprises in a market instability. For further research, indicators of social and intellectual capital can be used as factors in increasing the value of business.

Published: July 2022

The article investigates the dynamics of the volume of tax revenues to the budget of Ukraine during the crisis. Using the R | S analysis, it was determined that the dynamics of tax revenues (in monthly terms) to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine in the period 2011-2021. is antipersistent, fractal-like and does not lend itself to forecasting methods based on parametric dependencies, simple and complex trends.
The form of the distribution of the probability density of the volume of tax revenues is investigated, their entropy and entropy production are determined. It has been established that the most critical periods in the formation of tax revenues are 2019-2020, for certain types of taxes - 2016-2020. on the basis of which a typology of taxes with nine types was formed. Five such types of taxes were found in Ukraine. It has been established that, based on the characteristics of the dynamics of entropy and entropy production, the most effective for overcoming the crisis will be tax instruments associated with the collection of income tax, value added tax on goods produced in Ukraine, rent and rent for the use of subsoil. In our opinion, for other types of taxes and fees, significant changes in the tax mechanism are inappropriate.

Authors: KARA İsmail Hakkı
Published: July 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı otomotiv ve uzay taşıtlarında kullanım potansiyeli yüksek olan hafif magnezyum (Mg) alaşımların yüksek sıcaklık aşınma davranışına farklı haddeleme hızlarının etkisini incelemektir. Sürtünme nedeniyle oluşan veya kullanım çevresine bağlı artan sıcaklığın aşınmaya maruz kalan fren balataları gibi uygulamalarda Mg alaşımın nasıl tepki verdiğini anlamak önem arz etmektedir. Yapısal olarak geliştirilmiş nadir toprak elementi içeren Mg alaşımları buna çözüm olarak düşünülmüştür. Burada yüksek sıcaklığa dayanımı zayıf olan ikincil fazlar yerine yapıda daha kararlı ikincil fazlar oluşturmak esas alınmıştır. Bu amaçla sıcak haddelenmiş Mg-2.5Al-1.0Sn-0.3Mn-0.4La-1.33Gd Mg alaşımına 225°C de aşınma testleri uygulanmıştır. 1.5, 4.7 ve 10 m/dk olmak üzere üç farklı hadde hızıyla elde edilen sac malzemelerin mikroyapısal karakterizasyonu ışık optik mikroskop (LOM) ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) vasıtasıyla incelenmiştir. Hadde hızına bağlı ikizlenmeler ve yeniden kristalleşen taneler elde edilmiştir. Sıcak aşınma davranışının mikroyapıya bağlı olarak değiştiği ve oluşan sert ikincil fazların daha yumuşak olan matrisle birleşerek aşınma direncine katkı sağladığı anlaşılmıştır. Artan hadde hızına bağlı aşınma hızında düşüş meydana gelmiştir. 10m/dk ve 1.5m/dk hadde hızlarının aşınma hızları karşılaştırıldığında iki kattan daha fazla fark olduğu görülmüştür. Aşınma mekanizmaları incelenen aşınmış yüzeylerin plastik akma, adhezif ve plastik deformasyon türünde mekanizmalara sahip olduğu görülmüştür.

Published: July 2022

Land use changes in the Kashmir Himalayas must be mapped and monitored for long-term development and efficient planning. This work uses geospatial technologies such as remote sensing and geographic information system to track changes in land cover trends in four main watersheds in the Kashmir Valley's north-eastern Himalayas from 2003 to 2013. Land cover maps were created using images from the Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper. The watershed's land use/land cover (LULC) maps were created using supervised classification utilizing the maximum likelihood classifier (MLC). Over the previous decade, the LULC in the study watersheds has undergone a series of intricate changes as a result of deforestation, climate change, and agroforestry growth. A total of 11 major LULC classifications were discovered, indicating that forests are the most common land use in all four watersheds. Forest cover, river beds, water bodies, non-perennial snow, and glaciers have all decreased significantly, whereas scrubland, horticulture, rock mass, built-up areas, barren land, and agriculture have all increased significantly, except for Sindh watershed, where the scrubland class has decreased by 5.97% from 2003 to 2013. The study's methodology and conclusions point to crucial policy implications for long-term LULC management in the Kashmir Himalayas' Madhumati, Arin, Sindh, and Lidder watersheds.

Published: July 2022

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) possessing large specific surface area with high stability are suitable adsorbent to remove contaminants from water, such as organic pollutant and heavy metal contaminants. Herein, a phenanthroline-based microporous organic polymer (Phen-MOP) has been synthesized through the coupling between benzene and 1,10-phenanthroline. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics were investigated. This Phen-MOP exhibited good adsorption efficiency for removal of Cu(II) from water with high structural stability and reusability. The maximum removal efficiency could reach to 98.47% at a Cu(II) concentration of 20 mg/L, pH = 7, 25 °C. It was found by investigating the adsorption isotherms that the maximum adsorption capacity Qm was 128.53 mg/g. Interestingly, after the adsorption of Cu(II), the resulting Phen-MOP-Cu can serve as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the Ullmann-type reaction. The structure and composition of the Phen-MOP-Cu were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicated that this catalyst possessed immense specific surface area, large pore volume and high stability. The catalyst was easily recyclable and did not significantly lose catalytic activity after being reused six times.

Authors: Shetty Suyog , Bhat Suresh , Choudhary Anupam , Hameed B. M. Zeeshan , Sitaram Mummalaneni , Shah Milap , Reddy Suraj Jayadeva
Published: July 2022

Objective:

This article aimed to study the prevalent practices in the treatment and follow-up of urethral strictures. Moreover, the article aimed to investigate the present opinion among urologists as the treatment practices for urethral stricture disease are mostly dependent on the treating surgeon’s expertise and preference in the absence of widely followed standard guidelines.

Methods:

A questionnaire was formulated based on the responses from experts. From October to December 2020, all members of the urological society of India received a mailed questionnaire on a web-based survey platform. Practicing urologists from across the country are among its members.

Results:

A total of 2554 urologists were contacted by mail, and 282 (11%) urologists provided a response. The majority were doing 5 to 15 urethroplasties a year. A newly diagnosed short segment bulbar urethral stricture would be a candidate for a visualized internal urethrotomy (VIU), according to 69.5% of urologists. Recurrence after one attempt at VIU prompted 80% to switch to urethroplasty as the next choice. During preoperative evaluation, 100% of respondents wanted a retrograde urethrogram, 74% deemed micturating cystourethrogram necessary, and 60% wanted a urethroscopy. At discharge, the majority preferred silicone Foley catheters, and the preferred size was 16F (54%). The patients were discharged with both suprapubic catheter and Foleyin situby most urologists. During follow-up, 60.99% wanted uroflowmetry, and the duration of follow-up varied.

Conclusion:

This survey on urethral stricture management amongst urologists shows that there is wide variation in the management of stricture urethra. This survey underscores the need for large-scale, long-term studies to formulate a guideline for the management of urethral stricture disease, thereby bringing uniformity in the care provided.

Erstes Anliegen ist die Emendierung des Textes, an der sich eine auf dem emendierten Text basierende Übersetzung anschließt. Hauptanliegen des Aufsatzes ist die Erforschung von Formbesonderheiten und Rechtsinhalt der Urkunde. Die auffälligste Formbesonderheit stellt wohl die ganz eigentümliche Gestaltung der Präambel (‘Arenga’) – mit Begründung des Sprachen-wechsels statt, wie üblich, der Notwendigkeit der Verschriftlichung der Rechtshandlung – dar, was zusätzlich ein interessantes Licht auf die Entstehung des Textes wirft. Der Rechtsinhalt bezieht sich auf einen Schiedsspruch, mit dem eine Fehde beendet wird. Mit einer ausführlichen Analyse dieses Schiedsspruches schließt der Aufsatz ab.

El estudio de los minadores de hoja en México es relativamente escaso, solamente se han abordado aquellas especies de importancia agrícola, dejando de lado aquellas que no representan un daño considerable en especies silvestres y ornamentales. En el presente estudio se realizaron colectas de minadores sobre uno de los árboles comunes en parques y jardines de Texcoco, Estado de México, el Ahuejote, Salix bonplandiana. De la revisión de más de 500 minas se pudieron reconocer cuatro tipos de minadores. La especie más abundante (83.9 % de los ejemplares colectados) fue Leucoptera albella; le siguieron en abundancia Phyllocnistis sp. con 7.3 %, Phyllonorycter sp. con 3.4 % y, finalmente, con solo el 0.5 % de abundancia, Stigmella sp. La primera especie representa un nuevo registro para México y de hospedero. En L. albella el 9 % de las larvas y el 17 % de las pupas presentaron muerte por parasitismo; en larvas no se detectó mortalidad por depredadores, pero en pupas el 10 % murieron por este factor. En ambos estados de desarrollo el 33 % de los organismos colectados estaban muertos por factores desconocidos no atribuibles a parasitismo o depredación. Este estudio reafirma que los minadores presentan altas tasas de mortalidad debido a factores bióticos y abióticos.
Impact of a Personal Health Record Intervention Upon Surveillance Among Colorectal Cancer Survivors: Feasibility Study
Authors: Vachon Eric , Robb Bruce W , Haggstrom David A
Published: July 2022

Background

There are currently an estimated 1.5 million individuals living in the United States with colorectal cancer (CRC), and although the 5-year survival rate has increased, survivors are at risk for recurrence, particularly within the first 2-3 years after treatment. National guidelines recommend continued surveillance after resection to identify recurrence early on. Adherence among survivors ranges from 23% to 94%. Novel interventions are needed to increase CRC survivors’ knowledge and confidence in managing their cancer and thus to increase adherence to follow-up surveillance.

Objective

The objective of this study is to develop and test the feasibility and efficacy of a stand-alone, web-based personal health record (PHR) to increase surveillance adherence among CRC survivors, with patient beliefs about surveillance as secondary outcomes.

Methods

A pre- and postintervention feasibility trial was conducted testing the efficacy of the colorectal cancer survivor (CRCS)–PHR, which had been previously developed using an iterative, user-centered design approach.

Results

The average age of the sample was 58 (SD 9.9) years, with 57% (16/28) male and the majority married (20/28, 71%) and employed full-time (15/28, 54%). We observed a significant increase in adherence to colonoscopy (before: 11/21, 52% vs after: 18/21, 86%; P=.005) and CEA (14/21, 67% vs 20/21, 95%; P=.01), as well as a slight increase in CT scans (14/21, 67% vs 18/21, 86%; P=.10). The only significant impact on secondary outcome (patient beliefs) was benefits of CEA test (P=.04), as most of the beliefs were high at baseline.

Conclusions

This feasibility study lays the groundwork for continued development of the CRCS-PHR to increase CRC surveillance. Patient-centered technologies, such as the CRCS-PHR, represent an important potential approach to improving the receipt of guideline-concordant care and follow-up surveillance, and not just for CRC survivors. Researchers should continue to develop patient-centered health technologies with clinician implementation in mind to increase patient self-efficacy and surveillance adherence.

Indonesia is known as the country with the most living language assets in the world after Papua New Guinea. However, one-third of the 718 indigenous languages in Indonesia are vulnerable and even threatened with extinction. Most of these languages are spoken in the central and eastern parts of Indonesia. Regarding efforts to protect, preserve and develop these vulnerable languages, the team of Program Studi Magister Linguistik, FIB, UGM took the initiative to provide language documentation assistance to the researchers and people in the Language Office (KB) of Nusa Tenggara Timur and the Language Office (KB) of Sulawesi Tenggara.

Such facilitating and mentoring methods that were conducted include: firstly, observing and mapping the language aspects from the existing languages in NTT and Sultra to be decisively documented, secondly, model of providing assistance for documentation efforts, and thirdly, the writing form of documentation. After completing the facilitating and mentoring processes, it was expected that the researchers and documentation increased their passions and motivation in documenting the language aspects, their theoretical and methodological capacity in language documenting activities, and the number of documented languages. Besides, there was an increase of cooperation between Kantor Bahasa NTT and Sultra with Program Studi Magister Linguistik UGM.

The results of this community service at the Language Office in NTT and Sultra show some completed activities i.e., (1) the identification of the legal basis for documenting the languages and mapping the potential language in NTT and Sultra to be documented, (2) the decision to document the linguistic aspects of maritime terms of the Kaera language in NTT, and words of wisdom or traditional expressions in Wolio language in Sultra, (3) the increase in the capacity of mentoring functions such as facilitating, presenting, feedback responding, delegating, participating, and inferencing, and (4) in addition to improving the ethics of mentoring, the teams worked together in terms of equality, cooperation and working together, and sustainability.
