Authors: Hidayah Nurul
Published: October 2022

This study aims to determine the effect of employee responsibility accounting and competence on managerial performance with motivation as a moderate variable. The research was conducted by taking a sample of 100 respondents. The sampling technique in this study used a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis technique used is linear regression. The results showed that responsibility accounting had a positive effect on managerial performance. employee competence has no effect on managerial performance. Work motivation does not reduce the relationship between responsible accounting and managerial performance. Work motivation can strengthen the relationship between employee competence and managerial performance. This study provides a theoretical contribution to the development of a new model using work motivation variables. This study also makes a practical contribution to identifying the motivation of each employee in detail.

Acute levalbuterol toxicity with use of metered dose inhaler
Authors: Singh Dhirendra Pratap , Raghunathan Dr Veena , Dhaliwal Maninder , Singh Ruby , Kumar Arvind
Published: October 2022

The mainstay of treatment in severe asthma is β2 agonist therapy. During
its treatment, toxicity may occur especially with the use of oral
albuterol or its prolonged nebulization. The clinical manifestations of
albuterol toxicity include tachycardia, hypokalemia, tremors, and
hyperglycemia. Toxicity occurring due to the use of metered-dose inhaler
is less common. Moreover, levalbuterol is believed to have a better
safety profile than albuterol, making it a very unusual culprit for
toxicity. We report an 8-year-old asthmatic boy who developed severe
tachycardia, and agitation and exhibited signs of levalbuterol toxicity.
He had been inadvertently administered 50 puffs of levalbuterol via
metered drug inhaler at home for an acute exacerbation of asthma. With
supportive management, his condition stabilized in 36 hours. This case
illustrates that a large dose of levalbuterol administered with a
metered-dose inhaler can lead to toxicity, which resolves with
discontinuation of β2 agonist therapy and supportive treatment.
An innovative interleaved high step-up DC-DC converter with improved capacitor-diode units

Published: October 2022

Due to defects of low-voltage and high-current output in new
energy power generation system, it is necessary to raise the output
voltage and realize further power conversion in the subsequent stage. In
this paper, an innovative interleaved high step-up DC-DC converter is
proposed. Considering the problems of non-common ground and limited gain
in the previously proposed active network DC-DC boost converters, the
active network structure is replaced by an interleaved parallel
structure, in which charge pump units are employed, and a
switched-capacitor unit is added to further improve the voltage gain.
Finally, the experimental results of the 150W prototype show that the
converter has higher gain, lower voltage stress in switch devices and
higher efficiency. When the input voltage and output current are 16V and
1.25A respectively, the efficiency of the entire system can reach about
94.2%.

INTRODUCTION: The clinical presentation of aortic dissection (AD) is diverse. Along with the classic signs, there are many “masks” that create difficulties in differential diagnosis with diseases having similar symptoms. The difficulties in the diagnosis of AD include rare incidence of the pathology, atypism of the clinical symptoms which can be interpreted as ischemic heart disease, hypertensive crisis, pulmonary embolism, aortic heart disease, neurological pathology, acute surgical pathology, renal colic. In the reported cases, there were symptoms that should have put the doctor on the alert for AD. So, in the first case there were an acute onset with a sharp rise in blood pressure, unusual irradiation of anginal pain to the lumbar region, asymmetry of the pulse and blood pressure on the extremities, development of gangrene of the right leg. In the second case, the symptomatology of degenerative-dystrophic lesion of the spine prevailed, for which the appropriate treatment was given for ten days. Symptoms suggestive of AD: expansion of the abdominal aorta on magnetic resonance imaging of the spine that could suggest involvement of the thoracic aorta in the pathological process, the presence of anemia. The third case — symptomatically classic variant of AD: severe anginal status, pulse and blood pressure asymmetry. Such symptoms as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and most importantly, short duration of the observation, did not permit to make a correct diagnosis on admission. In all clinical observations, the analysis of complaints, history, physical and instrumental data ultimately permitted to diagnose AD. CONCLUSION: For the timely diagnosis of AD, it is important to use available methods of instrumental diagnostics, from routine to high-tech ones. Before routing a patient to the department of vascular surgery, it is necessary to provide medical care aimed at slowing down AD, stabilization of hemodynamics, and anesthesia.

INTRODUCTION: The existence of combined pathology in children with such a common chronic disease as bronchial asthma requires special organizational approaches to providing them with medical care, taking into account not only clinical, but also medical and social characteristics. AIM: To study social and hygienic risk factors in children with bronchial asthma and comorbid pathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To study medical and social risk factors in children with bronchial asthma with comorbid pathology, a sociological survey of their parents was conducted. The survey involved the parents of 368 children diagnosed with bronchial asthma. To obtain clinical and statistical characteristics of children, primary medical documentation was selected and analyzed — medical histories and outpatient cards. This is a single-center, non-randomized and uncontrolled study. RESULTS: It was found that in children of the early age with comorbid pathology, diagnosed with bronchial asthma, the latter mostly takes uncontrolled and partially controlled course. The most common comorbid diseases are diseases of the respiratory organs (except for bronchial asthma), digestive organs, endocrine system, eating disorders, metabolic disorders, a combination of several diseases of allergic origin. Among the socio-hygienic factors potentially affecting the health of children, the most common were smoking in the family, low income, and poor housing conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The information obtained can serve as the basis for the development of measures for primary and secondary prevention of bronchial asthma in childhood.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of the study was to examine the phenomenon of “nervous orthorexia” as a variant of restrictive eating behavior. A review of the literature on the problem showed both a lack of conceptual definition of the term, despite its active use, and a lack of information to distinguish orthorexia nervosa from eating disorders and normative variations in the eatingstyle. The results of an empirical study of the emotional and personality features and characteristics of interpersonal relations system in women with tendencies to orthorexia nervosa are presented. There have been hypotheses about higher rates of "negative affectivity" in women with orthorexia nervosa and specific characteristics in the sphere of interpersonal attachment. According to the results of the study, women with orthorexia nervosa show significantly higher indicators of anxiety and depression, hostility, perfectionism, as well as the predominance of unreliable attachment styles in comparison with women without specific restrictive attitudes towards the diet. The results obtained make it possible to confirm the assumption that orthorexia nervosa should be considered not as a conditionally normative variant of eating behavior, but as one of the forms of emotional and personalitywell-being disturbances.

The empirical study presented was aimed at the identification of the mechanisms of regulatory violations among students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The features of protective strategies, personal characteristics and basic beliefs associated with a sense of security were studied. Two profiles of self-regulation are identified based on the indicators of the questionnaire “Style of self-regulation of behavior” by V. I. Morosanova. It was revealed that in the subjects with a low level of self-regulation, the concept of “safety” is connected in meaning with concepts directly and indirectly describing the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences. Low values of basic beliefs about self-worth, ineffective defensive strategies in the form of repression and regression, as well as high accuracy, perseverance and foresight were also found in this group. The semantic relationship between the concept of “security” and various manifestations of the pandemic was poorly expressed in the group of subjects with a high level of self-regulation. In this group, a developed system of basic beliefs about self-worth, effective defense mechanisms in the form of rationalization, low indicators of accuracy, foresight and perseverance were identified. The results of the study can be used to identify violations of self-regulation in a group of young people and their psychological correction in the context of global crises.
negacionismo além da história
Authors: Almada Pablo Emanuel Romero
Published: October 2022

A emergência de governos populistas e autoritários, como o de Donald Trump (2016 – 2021) e o de Jair Bolsonaro (2018 – 2022), bem como a repercussão e uso político das fake news, trouxeram ao debate questões fundamentais sobre a chamada “nova direita” e suas características organizativas, ideologias e práticas. Com a Pandemia da Covid-19, a noção de negacionismo ganhou destaque no debate público, na mídia, no meio acadêmico, referindo-se a determinados discursos de rechaço da ciência e da manipulação dos fatos, resgatando algumas das características de ilações e falsificação de fatos históricos que Pierre-Vidal Naquet, em seu Os Assassinos da Memória, atribuía aos revisionistas/negacionistas do genocídio hitlerista. Embora essas evidências estejam muito mais relacionadas a um debate do campo científico — ao endossarem uma postura anticientífica próxima daquela iniciada nos anos 2000 quanto ao negacionismo do HIV/AIDS e das mudanças climáticas, e agora, em relação a Pandemia da Covid-19 — é no debate historiográfico que se pode perceber sua amplitude e interlocução política. A obra Far-right revisionism and the end of history: alt/histories, editado por Louie Dean Valencia-Garcia, se faz de suma importância para a compreensão do contexto em que é produzido o discurso negacionista, os diversos grupos da extrema-direita por todo o mundo e, sobretudo, a contribuição de historiadores revisionistas para a construção da chamada alt-history.

O setor de transporte aéreo nacional apresentou muitas crises, sem precedentes, as quais se agravaram durante a pandemia do Covid-19, fato esse que impactou economia devido à queda na geração de capital e investimentos no mercado brasileiro. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar se as variáveis contábeis-financeiras e as crises econômicas afetaram, de forma estatisticamente significativa, o EBITDA da principal empresa do setor aéreo da B3 S.A.- Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, a GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. Para a realização desta pesquisa quantitativa foram analisadas as demonstrações contábeis trimestrais, divulgadas pela companhia escolhida, referentes aos períodos de 2014 a 2021, para calcular os indicadores contábeis-financeiros, propostos por Assaf Neto & Brito, e Sanvicente & Minardi, em conjunto com outros indicadores propostos pelas autoras desta pesquisa. Desse modo, a partir desses dados realizou-se duas regressões múltiplas, através do software IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows. Os resultados observados através das duas regressões múltiplas revelam que nem sempre a estatística captura a coerência significativa entre as variáveis dependentes e independentes. Em parte, poder-se-ia admitir essa limitação, considerando que a indisponibilidade de dados contábeis de empresas listadas na B3, de periodicidade menor – de preferência diário, dificulta a formulação de conclusões apuradas sobre a relação de significância entre indicadores patrimoniais e o EBITDA.

Chili is a vegetable with a characteristic of high moisture content, so easily damaged, and short shelf life. Most Indonesian households prefer to consume red chilies in fresh form. So, specific treatment is required to ensure the quality and shelf life of fresh red chilies. The objective of this study was to analyze the quality of red chilies stored in modified cold storage with and without dissolved ozone solution treatment. Red chilies were stored in perforated polyethylene (PE) plastic at 8±2℃ and 89±2% relative humidity. Fresh red chilies were investigated for hardness, color, moisture content, vitamin C, and capsaicin after 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks of storage. The modified cold storage preserved fresh red chilies for three weeks without ozone treatment and four weeks with ozone treatment. The moisture and vitamin C content remained stable, but the color, hardness, and capsaicin content significantly decreased.  Keywords: Chilies freshness, red chili, ozone treatment, modified cold storage, shelf life

Published: October 2022

The objective of this study was to observe the reproductive characteristics of Palu fat-tailed sheep affected by animal parities given pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and genistein (GEN) as a synthetic phytoestrogen. This study employed 32 ewes arranged in a completely randomized experimental design. The first factor was parity (P2 and P3) and second factor was a hormonal treatment as follows; H0 (14 d-controlled internal drug release or CIDR implant as control), H1 (CIDR+PMSG at 15 IU/kg BW, im injection), H2 (CIDR+GEN 0.1 mg/kg BW, iv injection); H3 (CIDR+PMSG at 15 IU/kg BW and GEN at 0.1 mg/kg BW, iv injection). Results indicated that all animals exhibited estrous and the onset for H1 was significantly earlier than for H2 and H0. The duration of estrous for P3 was significantly longer than for P2, while that for H1 was significantly longer than for H2 and H0. Gestation rate was 93.75%, birth rate was 83.33% and length of gestation was 147.76±1.54 d. Birth weight for P3 was significantly higher than for P2. It is concluded that CIDR, PMSG, and genistein enhanced the estrous characteristics in Palu fat-tailed sheep but did not affect litter size and birth weight.

Objective: Diaphragmatic dysfunctions are multiple and critical illnesses often lead to the muscular atrophy that affects respiratory and peripheral muscles. The primary objective was to investigate diaphragm thickness in hospitalized patients. Secondary objectives were to assess clinical evolution and outcome.

Methods: In a mean time period of 7.9 days, two different chest computed tomographies were used in order to examine diaphragm alterations of right and left diaphragm in 20 critically ill patients tested Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction positive to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2. Patients were divided in two groups (one group <5% decrease in diaphragm thickness and another group ≥5% decrease in diaphragm thickness).

Results: Results showed that patients presented low 10 years predicted survival rate (Charlson Comorbidity Index > 7.7±3.08), marked inflammatory status (C-Reactive Protein = 98.22±73.35, Interleukine-6 = 168.31±255.28), high physiologic stress level (Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio = 31.27±30.45), respectively altered acid-base equilibrium. Half of the investigated patients had decrease in diaphragm thickness by at least 5% (right diaphragm = −7.83%±11.11%, left diaphragm = −5.57%±10.63%). There were no statistically significant differences between those with decrease of diaphragm thickness and those without diaphragm thickness, regarding length of stay in Intensive Care Unit and in hospital, inflammatory markers, and acid-base disorders.

Conclusions: Patients were admitted in Intensive Care Unit for acute respiratory failure and half of the investigated patients displayed diaphragm alterations at CT scan.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: Glioblastoma is one of the most common and aggressive brain tumours with a very high mortality rate. It often evolves from a late or misdiagnosed astrocytoma. Stroke is one of the most common pathologies of the brain, affecting approximately 1.1 million Europeans each year. This article presents the sequential development of a low-grade astrocytoma in an ischemic brain territory into a high-grade glioblastoma.

Case presentation: A 59-year-old patient presented to our hospital with severe headache and transient loss of balance and vision. Clinical findings and control imaging revealed the presence of an ischemic brain area in the left temporal lobe of the brain. Monthly brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) follow-up revealed the development of a low-grade astrocytoma in the ischemic territory, which later evolved into a glioblastoma.

Conclusions: Patients who suffer from a stroke should be closely monitored via MRI to prevent the rare development of tumour pathology in the affected territory.
Nutrition in pregnancy – impact on anaemia in pregnant women
Authors: Atomei Oana Liliana , Monor Paula Paraschiva , Stana Bogdan Aurelian , Tarcea Monica
Published: October 2022

Aim: Most pregnant women can achieve their caloric and nutritional needs by careful food choices during pregnancy, but there are fairly common situations when pregnant women develop anaemia, which needs to be managed properly to avoid maternal-foetal complications. The main objective of the study was to identify the nutritional factors favoring the occurrence of iron deficiency anaemia in pregnant women.

Methods: Data collection for the cross-sectional study was carried out using a questionnaire that provided information on nutrition and risk factors during pregnancy in a group of patients from Suceava. The questionnaire was given to pregnant women admitted to the Emergency County Hospital „Sfântul Ioan cel Nou” Suceava, Romania, between March and May 2017.

Results: The anaemia occured in 46.3% of pregnant women. Although 22.2% of pregnant women received oral iron supplementation, effects on anaemia correction were not observed (p=0.02). We found that weight status did not influence anaemic status (p=0.51), and the presence of anaemia in pregnancy was independent of risk factors for pregnancy (smoking, p=0.05; alcohol consumption, p=0.66), iron absorption inhibitors in the diet (coffee, p=0.33; tea, p=0.53), water intake (p=0.52) or night eating (p=0.27).

Conclusions: The results of dietary survey showed no direct link between the prevalence of anaemia and nutritional factors. Lower pre-pregnancy BMI was not associated with higher risk of iron deficiency anaemia, and daily iron supplementation during pregnancy did not meet the needs to counteract the anaemic syndrome. Nutrition education is particularly important for the prophylaxis of iron deficiency anaemia in pregnant women.

Published: October 2022

The distribution network structure is complex, the equipment is numerous, and the frequency of pattern and mode changes is high. These characteristics lead to certain difficulties in power distribution automation operation and maintenance graph management. This paper adopts the mathematical statistics method of machine learning to analyze the multi-version hierarchical subscription mechanism of the distribution network graph. We conduct a breadth search on the distribution network graph to realize the automatic topology of the network. This paper implements a dynamic display system of distribution network monitoring information. The research results show that the graph-digital-analog integrated system has practical significance for data integration, application integration, and interoperability between systems.
SAFE: The New-Age Service Marketing Mix for the New-Age Internet-Based Services
Authors: Panwar Tapish , Khan Kalim
Published: October 2022

Internet-based services have emerged at a fast pace, but the literature thereon has not kept pace with it. Researchers and marketers still refer to the traditional marketing frameworks to define and manage these services. This paper argues that this approach is detrimental both to the academicians and the practitioners. The paper attempts to establish that Internet-based services are significantly different from the traditional services and require contemporary marketing frameworks. Further, a new-age marketing mix, SAFE, is proposed, which is expected to help marketers manage Internet-based service more efficiently.
Do Social Interactions Really Moderate Job Productivity in Coworking Spaces?
Authors: Mittal Ella , Rani Tamanna
Published: October 2022

A coworking space is a setup of bringing together independent professionals who do not work for the same company. This study aims to determine the impact of the coworking space environment and of social interactions on the job productivity of coworkers, as well as the influence of social interactions in the relation of coworking space environment and job productivity. A positive significant relationship was found between the coworking space environment and job productivity as well as between social interactions and job productivity. Moreover, the moderating variable “social interactions” strengthens the relationship between coworking environment and job productivity. The findings of the study highlight the importance of coworking spaces as a source of social interactions among freelancers and entrepreneurs. Furthermore, human resource managers and corporate office managers can use this study to help their staff operate in a more flexible and productive setting.
Global Economic Uncertainties and Exchange Rate Management in Africa: A Panel Study
Authors: Adedokun Adeniyi J. , Falayi Olabusuyi R. , Adeyemi Francis O. , Kumeka Terver T.
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the effects of global economic uncertainties on exchange rate management in Africa from 1990 to 2021. Employing the quantile regression technique, findings show that both global and domestic economic uncertainties have significant influence on exchange rate management in Africa. The intensity of global economic uncertainty rises during the bearish and transitional markets, but dependence declines during the bullish markets. Moreover, the relationship between domestic uncertainty and African exchange rate management shows that the structure of dependence improves around the upper tails but declines around the lower tails. African countries should pay attention to global economy in order to combat any impending negative effects of global economic uncertainties. Also, attention should be paid to other uncertainties such as political, social, or other factors that may aggravate domestic economic uncertainties.
Article V and the Law of Constitutional Conventions
Authors: Hoyos Roman J.
Published: October 2022

Can an Article V convention be limited? While there is an emerging consensus that it can, in this paper I focus on John A. Jameson's legal treatise on constitutional conventions and the jurisprudence it spawned to help round out our understanding of both Article V in particular, and of constitutional revision more generally. Jameson's treatise was directed to the larger question of whether constitutional conventions in general could be limited. Since its initial publication in 1867, courts have relied upon Jameson's insights to build a law of constitutional conventions at the state level. Several components of this jurisprudence are particularly relevant to Article V, including the distinction between constitutional and revolutionary conventions, the distinction between amendment and revision, and the requirements of convention acts and ratification votes, in addition to the preclusion of a robust role for the electorate in the Article V convention process. This jurisprudence is readily available for courts to help guide them in determining the nature and limits of an Article V convention.
(ECO)Ethical Issues in Organizations Including Healthcare Facilities
Authors: Myszograj Martyna
Published: October 2022

Ethics issues are present in the daily life of every human being. This paper presents an overview of difficult, yet everyday ethics dilemmas, and general rules and tools helping in making ethical choices. These tools are: distinguishing facts from values, reasoning from principles, defining terms and clarifying concepts, comparing cases, thought experiments, logic, and recognizing and avoiding errors in reasoning. But ethical issues also appear on a bigger scale in every social group, including organizations. The paper contains a literature review and an analysis of it applied to the present day. The analysis includes topics of medical ethics, business ethics and ecoethics, and was conducted according to the basic tools used in ethical problem solving. There are also discussions about a key condition for performing ethical analysis, that is, the distinction between ethics and morality. An ethical solution is dictated by logical principles and based on facts, while respecting the tools of ethical reasoning. In contrast, accepted values are also taken into account when interpreting events morally.

Social Work in Social Farming in the Concept of Empowerment
Authors: Hudcová Eliška
Published: October 2022

This article aims to present social farming from the perspective of social work; it, therefore, explores the added value of agriculture. More specifically, it adapts the concept of empowerment to the conditions of working with participants with disabilities on social farms. In general, the concept of empowerment is described as the acquisition and use of skills to meet one's own needs and gain control over one's own life. Further, the empowerment of groups and communities is understood as gaining rights and straightening the system. It is a systematic method of work used with people with health or social disadvantage, fragile groups and communities. Using participant observation protocols from the stays on different social farms gathered within the project led in four European countries, the form, benefits, and limits of the concept of empowerment are investigated in this alternative agricultural environment. The paper summarises that the process of empowerment on social farms takes several forms at the individual level. Still, when it comes to the acquisition of power by a group or community in conjunction with participation, the use of the concept is limited.
Some Aspects of Social Farming in Czechia
Authors: Chovanec Tomáš , Moudrý Jan , Hudcová Eliška
Published: October 2022

Social farming (SF) has been developing dynamically in the Czech Republic in the last 10 years and enterprises are emerging and operating where the necessary conditions and environment are created for various people from target groups. The practice in the Czech Republic is to a large extent based on international practice and follows the basic outlines of the practice of mainly European countries. In these facilities, these persons often find employment or engage in various occupational therapy programmes in the provision of social services. Thus, in this analysis, we qualitatively focus on the identification of the basic factors why these farms come into existence and what are the main determining aspects for their functioning, which are based on the long-term experience of running a farm under the social farming concept. A guided qualitative interview method was chosen with respondents who have been operating in the country for a long time in the framework of the analysis, thus bringing in stimulating experiences that accompany them in their activities. The analysis is thus essentially a first experience in this field and raises a number of further questions that could be further deepened and refined, including in an international context.
Social Farming in Czechia, Actors and Barriers
Authors: Šťastná Milada , Vaishar Antonín
Published: October 2022

The article deals with the state of social farming in Czechia, which is obviously in its infancy. The main barriers to development are the character of Czech agriculture, which is radically based on large-scale production and deliveries to large customers, insufficient cooperation of individual ministries and too narrow conception of the problem as care farming. At the same time, we can expect increasing demand for this type of management in the future. Some ideas for improving the situation are presented, the most important of which is the recognition of social farming by the public administration and the creation of a legal framework for its development.
Civic rhetoric and social inclusion
Authors: Bohunická Alena
Published: October 2022

The subject of the study is current civic rhetoric with regard to the inclusive rhetorical mechanisms employed in it. In classical rhetoric, we rely on the Aristotle’s deliberative type of rhetoric. We are interested in the citizen’s predisposition for involvement in deliberation (deliberative competence including its rhetorical aspect), the identity of rhetorical deliberative subjects, as well as the rhetorical procedures and genres in civic rhetoric. We work on the assumption that inequality of deliberation actors is the impetus for the creation of inclusive rhetoric. In this paper we distinguish three functions of inclusive rhetoric: (1) coordination function (coordination of various individual or group interests, opinions, intentions), (2) compensatory function (compensating for knowledge, information and other deficits) and (3) solidarity function (strengthening collectivity as a prerequisite for the influence and success of proposals in the negotiation phase of civic rhetoric. These particular functions characterize inclusive rhetoric in the public debate phase of civic rhetoric (i.e., deliberation in its own sense). We characterize and illustrate them through the rhetorical speeches and deliberative practices of the founder of the civic initiative IG24.
Non-literary communicative acts in literary style
Authors: Mareš Petr
Published: October 2022

Many literary texts prove a tendency to simulate features of diverse communicative acts, styles and genres that are primarily applied in non-literary spheres of communication (for instance journalism, administration, science). The aim of this paper is to suggest a possible theoretical framework for this phenomenon and to describe some ways of simulating non-literary styles in literary texts. The aforementioned simulating can be seen as a form of interdiscursivity that introduces external elements into literary texts. The functioning of it is conditioned by a process of decontextualization and recontextualization that is signalled by various paratextual and textual cues. Taking three Czech prosaic works as examples, the concrete use of this form of interdiscursivity is illustrated in the last part of the paper.
Sphere and Random Flat Surface Contact
Authors: Leitans A. , Linins O.
Published: October 2022

The research is devoted to the elaboration of the wear part contact estimation using 3D surface texture parameters defined in the standard ISO 25178-2:2012 for contact (it is known that elastic contact gives less wear rate) area, friction, and wear rate determination. In our research, the sphere and random flat surface model was used, where the height of surface asperities h(x, y) had a normal probability distribution. As a result of research, the equations for estimation of the elastic contact area were derived and, we obtained conditions at which it was possible to use equations for flat random surfaces. The results of this study could have wide practical application, for example, in design, choosing the geometrical and physical-mechanical parameters of the parts, calculation of real stresses, wear rate and life time of contact parts, etc.
Customer behavioral intentions in accepting technology-based ride-hailing service: Empirical study from Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Huy Khanh , Hoang Thuy Dam Luong
Published: October 2022

Technology provides opportunities for customers to access better service quality, which imposes the higher customer behavioral intentions. Ride-hailing service is the newly-emerged transportation medium in Vietnam market, surpassing the popularity of conventional vehicles (taxi, buses, for-rent bikes, etc.). While prior research has focused on the elements that influence customer behavioral intention in ride-hailing, this study sought to explain the process of establishing service quality through several variables before enhancing the customer intention. As a result, the research suggested and validated an integrated framework that included three components (perceived service quality, functional quality, and information quality) in addition to the classic service quality– customer behavioral intention model. The findings significantly confirm the fundamental conventional link between (1) Functional quality and Perceived service quality; (2) Information quality and Perceived service quality; and (3) Perceived service quality and Customer intention.
The Importance of ECG Offset Correction for Premature Ventricular Contraction Origin Localization from Clinical Data

Published: October 2022

In this study, the inverse solution with a single dipole was computed to localize the premature ventricular contraction (PVC) origin from long term multiple leads ECG measurements on fourteen patients. The stability of the obtained results was studied with respect to the preprocessing of signals used as an input to the inverse solution and the complexity of the torso model. Two methods were used for the baseline drift removal. After an averaging of the heartbeats, the influence of the retention or elimination of the remaining offset at the beginning of the PVC signal was examined. The inverse computations were performed using both homogeneous and inhomogeneous patient-specific torso models. It was shown that the remaining offset in the averaged signals at the beginning of the PVC signal had the most significant impact on the stability of the resulting position within the ventricles. Its elimination stabilizes the location of the results, decreases the sensitivity to the torso model complexity and decreases the sensitivity to the primary baseline drift removal method. The additional offset correction decreased the mean distance between the results for all patients from 17-18 mm to 1-2 mm, regardless of the baseline drift removal method or the torso model complexity.
Dual-Energy Spectral Computed Tomography: Comparing True and Virtual Non Contrast Enhanced Images

Published: October 2022

Spectral computed tomography (CT) imaging is one of several image reconstruction techniques based on the use of dual-layer CT. The intensity and attenuation of the radiation are measured in relation to different wavelengths, and such a procedure results in complex three-dimensional (3D) imaging and (pseudo) color adjustment of the soft tissue. This paper compares true non-contrast (TNC) enhanced images with virtual non-contrast (VNC) enhanced ones. Virtual native images are acquired by means of spectral computed tomography, and it has been suggested that VNCs could potentially substitute real native images to reduce significantly the total radiation dose from multiphase spectral CT. A comparison was performed by defining certain parameters that represent the difference between the measured and the calculated values in the images. The parameters included the mean value and standard deviation of the computed tomography number, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). All of these items were analyzed via statistical tests using p-value. The results are interpreted and correlated with those presented by other authors, who, however, did not make an examination on a comprehensive basis - five tissues simultaneously by using a single device. Prospectively, if analogies were found between the two types of images, it would be possible to skip the TNC image, thus markedly reducing the radiation dose for the patient.
