Published: October 2021

Background: Stunting is a nutritional status based on measurements of the Length-for-Age or Height-for-Age index of the anthropometric standards assessment of nutritional status of children. The report of the Public Health Center (PHC) of Tegallalang I revealed the largest number of stunting cases in Kedisan Village, with 28 toddlers suffering from stunting based on 2017 data. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with stunting at Kedisan Village, Tegallalang Sub-district, Gianyar District. Methods: This is an analytic study employing a case-control approach. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique; that is, by utilizing all cases of children under five who were declared stunted in the village in question (a total of 28 cases). The case:control ratio used was 1:1; thus, the total sample used in the study was 56 samples from May 2017. Bivariate analysis was conducted using a chi-square test. Results: The majority of respondents were employed (i.e., 67.80% in the case group and 53.50% in the control group); in terms of the most recent level of education, 35.70% of respondents in the case group had a junior high school education, while 46.40% in the control group had a senior high school education. The results of the bivariate analysis found that the risk factor that was most significantly related with the incidence of stunting was complementary foods with breast milk (p = 0.03; OR: 4.63), while other risk factors were not related to the occurrence of stunting. Conclusions: The factor that influenced the occurrence of stunting in Kedisan Village was complementary foods with breast milk.

Published: October 2021

Background: A large proportion of cancer deaths are caused by patient delay in accessing hospital treatment. One of the causes of such delays is the use of alternative medicine. Purpose: This research is conducted to determine the characteristics and factors related to the behavior of seeking treatment in the form of alternative medicine among cancer patients at the Indonesian Cancer Foundation (Yayasan Kanker Indonesia). Methods: This research is a quantitative descriptive research with a cross-sectional study design. The target of the research is all patients who temporarily stayed at the Yayasan Kanker Indonesia from February–April 2020, a total of 45 patients aged ≥ 17 years who had been diagnosed with cancer. The data was obtained via questionnaires and interviews. The variables examined are the predisposition factors (sex, age, education, occupation, stage of cancer, time ranges for accessing health services after symptom onset, prior illness, family history), enabling factors (distance to health services, income, health insurance), and reinforcing factors (family support and information resources). Analysis of research data was conducted using frequency tables and Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact test. Results: The factors related to the behavior of seeking treatment via alternative medicine in cancer patients at Yayasan Kanker Indonesia are the stage of cancer (p=0.04), the time span between symptom onset and checking into health services (p=0.02), and length of illness (p=0.03). Conclusion: Alternative treatment search behavior is influenced by several factors, namely the stage of cancer, the time span between symptom onset and checking into health services, and the length of illness.

Published: October 2021

Background: Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) has been associated with a high mortality rate of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients. Both behavioral and biological factors cause predisposition to DFU. Purpose: This research describes the profile of hospitalized DFU patients at a tertiary care hospital in Surabaya. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study that analyzed medical records of hospitalized T2DM patients with DFU in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Sampled respondents were patients ≥ 21 years old who were hospitalized between 2016–2018. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, medical histories, length of hospital stay, laboratory results, precipitating factors, microorganism culture results, treatment, and outcome were analyzed. Descriptive analysis is presented in the form of narratives, tables, and diagrams. Results: 9.08% of hospitalized Type 2 DM (T2DM) cases were related to foot ulcers. The average patient age was 57.00 ± 9.83 years with no gender predominance. DM was poorly controlled (Mean HbA1C 9.78±2.83%; RBG 251.83 ± 158.15 mg/dL). The majority of patients had sepsis (68.26%) and renal function impairment (62.72%). Ulcers with Wagner grades of 4–5 were frequent (41.31%). The highest percentage of sepsis (80.49%) and the average leukocyte level (22.60±11.95 x109/L) were found in gangrenous feet. Anemia was more predominant and severe in ulcers with higher Wagner grades. Trauma and Escherichia coli were the most common precipitating factors and microorganisms isolated, respectively. Amputation was performed for 82.36% of patients who were admitted to hospital with gangrene. The Lower Extremity Amputation (LEA) and mortality rates were 14.11% and 40.93%, respectively. Conclusion: DFUs were found to have a relatively high prevalence among T2DM patients, and must never be neglected due to the high associated mortality rate.

Published: October 2021

Nutritional health problems in adolescents are eating behaviors that do not conform to balanced nutritional guidelines, such as consuming less fruits and vegetables, consuming soft drinks, eating fast food, rarely breakfast, lack of physical activity, etc. This can happen due to the lack of knowledge that teenagers have about balanced nutrition. Therefore, health promotion is necessary to improve balanced nutritional knowledge in adolescents. This study aims to determine the effect of health promotion with booklet and video on knowledge of balanced nutrition in adolescents. This research method is a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The study was conducted by health promotion using booklet and video. The sampling technique was purposive sampling with a sample of 106 people consisting of 53 experimental groups and 53 control groups. Wilcoxon statistical test results on balanced nutrition knowledge provided with booklet and video obtained a p-value of 0,000. The results of the Mann Whitney statistical test on the knowledge of balanced nutrition obtained a p-value of 0,000. There is a difference in knowledge of balanced nutrition before and after health promotion is given both using booklet and video and there is a difference in knowledge of balanced nutrition after being given health promotion between using booklet and video. It is recommended that teenagers can apply balanced nutritional knowledge in their daily lives.

Published: October 2021

Background: As well as other countries, Basic Health Research 2018 (Riskesdas) reported that adolescent pregnancies (aged under 20 years) occurred in almost all provinces in Indonesia. More than 60,000 Indonesian females experienced pregnancy at a young age. Objective: This study aims to analyze the characteristics of Indonesian women who had been pregnant under the age of 20 years. Methods: This study used a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design, the data processed was from Indonesian Basic Health Research 2018. The subjects were 67,392 women who experienced their first pregnancy under the age of 20 years. The independent variables of the study included the respondent's domicile, age, education level, and occupation. The dependent variable was the age at first pregnancy. All variables were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. Results: Almost all (95.4%) Indonesian women who had experienced adolescent pregnancy were in the age range of 14-19 years when they were first pregnant. Most of the respondents lived in rural areas (68.1%), were in late adulthood (32.9%) when the survey was conducted, had completed primary school education (38.7%), and were not working (47.9%). Domicile, age, education, and occupation were related significantly to the age at which they were first pregnant (P-Value = 0.0001). Education affected the age at first pregnancy in women with a history of adolescent pregnancy (OR = 2.215). Conclusion: Adolescent with low education level is 2.2 riskier to have early pregnancy than an adolescent with high-level education. The government needs to make it a priority and seriously provide provision of reproductive health education among children before they get into their adolescence phase.

Examining women’s health through a psychosocial lens
Authors: Goswami Sathyasree
Published: October 2021

During the COPASAH Global Symposium 2019, a group of therapists and mental health practitioners tried to highlight the issue of women’s mental health with two specific focuses, one being the lived experiences of persons living with mental illness and the secondary burn-out and shame faced by their caretakers. The second session explored the contours of somatisation that is often seen in the human body as a result of the impact of trauma. The participants reflected on the value of lived experiences and also discussed the challenges faced in getting representation for people living with mental illness. The challenges listed by participants were concentrated around the participation and representation of persons living with intellectual disability and psychosocial disability. Somatisation of traumatic experiences needs recognition in a country like India where women’s life-stressors exist right from childhood which keeps them on the threshold of mental illness and/or psychosomatic illnesses. Psychosocial health issues are relegated to a subordinate category of discussion while public health, reproductive health, and health rights feature in mainstream discussions in various seminars, researches and conferences in India. This paper is based on two sessions of the COPASAH Global Symposium 2019 and focuses on the gender and psychosocial dimensions of health from the framework of women being subjected to unpaid care work, through social and reproductive labour and stressors resulting in psycho-social distress. It concludes that, it is important to build a community of practitioners that looks beyond the reproductive health of women.

Published: October 2021

Recognition of fingerprints (dactyloscopic images) is one of the practical application of signal processing. System of person identification by fingerprints is commonly-used by law enforcement bodies and Border services. This is also important in the field of access control systems and commercial devices where data security is not less important as reliability and data rate of processing algorithms. Existing systems of fingerprints processing are not fully ready for automatic recognition. Also, full modernization of existing equipment is not possible. The paper is devoted to the method of image processing. In particular, the preliminary processing of dactyloscopic images is considered as well as development of theoretical approach and practical realization of first stage of patterns forming – pre-processing of image for decreasing of its size and contrast increasing. The criteria for selecting ranges for sampling and quantization of images are given. Tasks of reducing the fingerprint image while increasing the contrast of the image were considered, analyzed and solved. Image reduction is based on the use of interpolation. It is shown that among the considered interpolation methods - linear, bilinear and bicubic - the latter one could provide the highest accuracy although it needs more hardware resources. However, when the dpi parameter (dots-per-inch) falls below 150, a rapid increase in the number of artifacts in the image is observed.
Increasing of image sharpness is necessary for highlighting of colour transitions and consequently – for increasing the percentage of correct recognitions. Such increasing of image sharpness is proposed to achieve by using the Laplace operator (Laplasian calculation) and adding the result to the original image. The value of derivative at each pixel of the image depends linearly on sharpness level. Thus, it allows separating the areas with abrupt colour changes and gaps from the areas where the brightness is constant or changes slowly. The result of second derivative is much more for the areas with sharp changes than for the areas without them. The areas with constant or slowly-changing brightness after the second derivative calculation become almost the same dark colour. These areas could be restored to original image with retention of sharpness increasing effect. For this, transformed by Laplasian image should be added to the original one. Use of Laplasian allows to get an acceptable balance between the speed and computational complexity of the fingerprint recognition algorithm.
The technical implementation of the device and illustration of its operation are given. Fingerprints image processing system is executed on the base of STM32f407 microcontroller with CortexM core. The system includes capasitive scanner, TFT LCD display and lab power source. The microcontroller software realizes, in particular, interpolation and contrast increasing. The system is module-compatible and able for scaling.
Solar Power Plant Storage System

Published: October 2021

The article analyzes changes in the legislation on the rules of electricity generation from renewable sources and the introduction of penalties for imbalances, which encourages producers to improve the forecast of electricity generation and modernization of existing power plants by installing energy storage systems.
Possible connection points and charge/discharge device (CDD) converter topologies for an energy storage system are analyzed and the converter that meets technical requirements of the system are selected. As a result, the connection from the direct current side has a number of advantages: simpler CDD structure and control principle, in comparison with alternating current; no galvanic separation between input and output. Converter analysis showed, that due to a high operating voltage, usage of resonant topologies is undesirable and the absence of galvanic separation makes bridge converter usage impractical. Therefore, to solve this problem, a bidirectional converter without galvanic separation with hard switching is proposed. To reduce the level of dynamic and static losses, it is advisable to use a modular topology converter with alternating phases.
The operating modes of such a converter at a given error of the weather forecast are analyzed. To improve quality of the generated electricity, it is expedient to use a power stabilization mode. Due to the higher values of charge/discharge currents, as well as higher energy density compared to acid-lead, a lithium-ion battery was chosen. According to the selected operation mode, its minimum capacity was calculated. When using a minimum battery capacity, due to the difference between the maximum discharge and charge current of the battery, a mode of partial power stabilization is possible. This mode is used only when the forecast error is more than 52% in the charging mode.
A charge/discharge device were designed for a 50 kW SMA Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverter and 20*315W LP156*156-M-60 solar panels connected in series. The control principle for such CDD is described. Control algorithm can be divided into four stages: obtaining the predicted solar radiation power in the forecast interval; predicted illumination power conversion into electric power;  predicted power calculation and the amount of energy that will be generated  and transferred by the solar station to the regulator in the forecast interval; power setpoint stabilization on the forecast interval based on the proportional-integral (PI) control law.
To verify the obtained theoretical relations, converter parameters with a typical input data were calculated. Model of the converter was created in the MATLAB® Simulink® environment and its operability was checked.
Solar Panel Parameters Estimation Method Using Manufacturer Information

Published: October 2021

The article considers the method of evaluating the parameters of equivalent schemes of solar panels using data provided by their manufacturers. The technique involves the use of a digitized volt-ampere characteristic of the solar panel and standard test conditions parameters (STC) to estimate the numerical derivatives at the points of short and open circuit. Digitizing the volt-ampere characteristic introduces some error, which significantly affects the accuracy of determining numerical derivatives. To solve this problem, it is advisable to average the values of the derivatives. It was found that it is sufficient to take 20-25% of the first points and 8-15% of the last points of the digitized curve. In this case, to estimate the value of the derivative at the point of short circuit, it is advisable to use linear fit, and at the point of open circuit – quadratic fit. The peculiarities of using the obtained formulas and the block diagram of the algorithm that implements this technique were also given.
A fixed point algorithm is used to solve the transcendental equation of the external characteristic of the solar panel. It was found that in some cases this numerical method may not convergences near the open circuit point. To solve this problem, in the proposed to use the relaxation method. This increases the required number of iterations, but guarantees the convergence of numerical method. The block diagram of the simple iteration algorithm using the relaxation method is given.
Modeling the developed technique, one- and two-diode solar panel replacement schemes were used on the example of KC200GT and ST40 solar panels. A comparative analysis of these schemes showed that a single-diode circuit is more relevant, because its use simplifies calculations and eliminates the need for a number of assumptions. The accuracy of the approximation provided by the single-diode circuit is proportional to the accuracy of the two-diode circuit. A comparative analysis of the developed methodology with other works was performed. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides the best approximation accuracy among the considered works. For monocrystalline solar panels, the average standard error is 7 times less and the modulus of relative error - 4 times. For polycrystalline panels, the average standard error is 1.5 times less, and the modulus of relative error is 1.75 times. For polycrystalline panels, the approximation error increases due to a non-unit value of the ideality factor for this manufacturing technology of the solar panels.

Possible attack vectors in such systems are considered. An analytical review and classification of modern cryptographic protection (encryption) algorithms used at the representative, session and channel levels of communication interfaces together and functional diagrams for some of them are performed. Selected criteria for comparing cryptographic algorithms, which allows you to choose the best depending on the functions performed and the conditions of use of a particular autonomous system.
TIGHT-TARDY PROGRESSIVE IDLING-FREE 1-MACHINE PREEMPTIVE SCHEDULING WITH JOB PRIORITY WEIGHTS BY HEURISTIC’S EFFICIENT JOB ORDER INPUT
Authors: Romanuke Vadim V.
Published: October 2021

Background. In setting a problem of minimizing total weighted tardiness by the heuristic based on remaining available and processing periods, there are two opposite ways to input the data: the job release dates are given in either ascending or descending order. It was recently ascertained that scheduling a few equal-length jobs is expectedly faster by ascending order, whereas scheduling 30 to 70 equal-length jobs is 1.5 % to 2.5 % faster by descending order. For the number of equal-length jobs between roughly 90 and 250, the ascending job order again results in shorter computation times. In the case when the jobs have different lengths, the significance of the job order input is much lower. On average, the descending job order input gives a tiny advantage in computation time. This advantage decreases as the number of jobs increases.
Objective. The goal is to ascertain whether the job order input is significant in scheduling by using the heuristic for the case when the jobs have different lengths with job priority weights. Job order efficiency will be studied on tight-tardy progressive idling-free 1-machine preemptive scheduling.
Methods. To achieve the said goal, a computational study is carried out with a purpose to estimate the averaged computation time for both ascending and descending orders of job release dates. First, the computation time for the ascending job order input is estimated for a series of job scheduling problems. Then, in each instance of this series, job lengths, priority weights, release dates, and due dates are reversed making thus the respective instance for the descending job order input, for which computation time is estimated as well.
Results. The significance of the job order input is much lower than that for the case of jobs without priorities. With assigning the job priority weights, the job order input becomes further “dithered”, adding randomly scattered priority weights to randomly scattered job lengths and partially randomized due dates. On average, the descending job order input is believed to give a tiny advantage in computation time in scheduling up to 100 jobs. However, this advantage, if any (being tinier than that in the case of random job lengths without priorities), quickly vanishes as the number of jobs increases.
Conclusions. It is better to compose job scheduling problems which would be closer to the case with equal-length jobs without priorities, where the saved computational time can be counted in hours. Even if the job lengths and priority weights are scattered, it is recommended to artificially “flatten” them. When artificial manipulations over job processing periods and job priority weights are impossible, it is recommended to use the descending job order input in scheduling up to 100 jobs, and either job order input in scheduling more than 100 jobs, although substantial benefits are not expected in this case.

Authors: Gonçalves Marina Juliana , Mattos Claudia Aparecida de
Published: October 2021

The adoption of health information technology (HIT) has increased considerably, contributing to better communication between physicians and patients and providing technological bases for learning and institutional improvement. This type of technology brings many challenges; therefore, understanding its adoption and assimilation is important to assess its potential for engendering desirable outcomes in health management. The assimilation of health information systems should be highlighted as their importance in health organisations is now recognised as a key facilitator assisting in providing better health outcomes. Thus, this study aimed to analyse HIT adoption based on models such as Technology, Organisation and Environment (TOE), which analyses at the organisational level, with other models, such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which analyses at the individual level, and the assimilation of the adopted technologies.

Unprepared professionals and students facing instances of psychological and physical abuse inside the school environment due to said lack of preparation can be easily found. This article sought to bring tools to these educators, gathering data from Brazil and other countries, through bibliometric research and systematic revision of primary and secondary data, related to the school experience of LGBTQIA+ students, as well as reports by professionals either in formation or in activity about how to take actions that have a positive impact towards the creation of a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. The data collected was mainly published between the years of 2015 and 2020, focusing on primary and secondary students. It has been ascertained that the environments where LGBTQIA+ students feel most comfortable were those in which the school faculty members made use of dialog and took a stand on behalf of these students, and thus served as role models so that others would do the same.

The Sausage Party Movie is a comedy film directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan (2016) which is sensational. The theme brings some controversy among people about how vulgar it is. The story exposed some sensitive themes such as intercourse, orgy, homosexuality, bisexuality, foreplay, torturing, murderer, annihilation, genocide, colonial domination, and other aspects as well. The contested scenes in the movie which manifest adult jokes are being analyzed by investigating the visual and linguistic elements related to the particular scenes. Thus, this study analyzed the adult jokes in “Sausage Party” by using multimodality approach which combines types of metafunction from Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) and visual elements of Gunther Kress and Theo van Leeuwen framework. The data were all scenes which contain adult jokes in this movie. The result reveals that some scenes may construct the meaning which related with the adult jokes. Despite the fact that this film is a comedy cartoon which associated with children, many adult jokes are being displayed to entertain the audiences which not suitable for underage communities. Likewise, the adult jokes are displayed as implicitly as possible to entertain either the underage who thinks it is only a usual joke or the adulthood who socially and practically understood the meaning behind it. In addition, the data is occupied by an intercourse activity between sausage and bun, torturing and murdered ideas, and also the idea of how human had intercourse from another perspective.
Turnover of leaders of authoritarian regimes: conditions, options
Authors: Shablinsky Iliya
Published: October 2021

The article is devoted to the possibility of changing power within regimes that are considered authoritarian (or hybrid). The practice of some such regimes shows that they still allow for a real and sometimes even regular change of power, without changing their character and, in fact, without allowing the real functioning of democratic institutions. Special attention is paid to the States formed in the space of the former USSR. It is noted that the post-Soviet authoritarian regimes can be separated into a separate subspecies. The article discusses the following options for transferring power under an authoritarian regime. It is possible: 1) as a consequence of contradictions within the ruling group and the involuntary departure of the former leader; or 2) through the execution by the members of the specified group of informal arrangements that can include both the actual transfer — the actual transfer of power to a new person, and an imaginary transfer — the appointment of the regime’s new head, who remains under the tight control of the former ruler, who retains real power. The role of constitutional norms limiting the President’s tenure to two terms is specifically considered. This restriction, in particular, was established in the constitutions of almost all post-Soviet States. But the relevant rules were either canceled (as in Belarus and Azerbaijan) or ignored (as, for example, in Uzbekistan). At the same time, similar rules have played a role in Mexico and China. Separately, the article deals with cases when political transfer is triggered by the work of completely democratic institutions, such as elections or referendums which for some reason are allowed by an authoritarian leader, and leads to real democratization. In particular, the author draws attention to the experience of Chile and Brazil.

Authors: Avtonomov Alexei
Published: October 2021

The article examines the genesis of the Constitution of New Zealand, the formation of its constituent parts and the main sources of constitutional law; it generally profiles the Constitution. The article shows the mutual influence and interweaving of the components of the unconsolidated Constitution of New Zealand in contemporary conditions. In particular, the constitutional provisions presented in the Treaty of Waitangi are examined, and attention is focused on the contemporary problems of its current interpretation and application, although the historical context of its drafting and conclusion is shown. The article deals with the interpretation of some basic constitutional terms when using different official languages of New Zealand, first of all Maori and English tongues. In this regard, one of the urgent issues, which are being discussed quite widely in New Zealand, is the discrepancies found in the wording of fundamental constitutional provisions in the official texts of the Treaty of Waitangi in these two languages. The article examines a number of court decisions containing constitutionally significant precedents (stare decisis), including those on the application of the Treaty of Waitangi. The article shows how, as a result of the judicial complex interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi and the legislation, the principles of the said Treaty have been developed. The article provides a general characterization of the laws and other regulatory legal acts that together form part of the unconsolidated Constitution of New Zealand. Special attention is paid to the 1986 Act of Constitution because of the importance of the constitutional issues regulated by this statute. The development of constitutional provisions in the 1986 Act of Constitution in comparison with the previous 1852 Act of Constitution is presented. At the same time, the laws, which are considered in New Zealand as an integral part of the Constitution, are summarized. The place and role of the laws of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the modern Constitution of New Zealand are determined. Along with this, other regulatory legal acts that form part of the Constitution are being investigated, in particular, the Letters Patent and the Cabinet Manual. The article also presents New Zealand customs, which have constitutional significance, including conventional norms, and the peculiarities of their application.
