Aim: to investigate the epidemiology, microbiology, and risk factors for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in postoperative patients with intracranial aneurysm in Ukraine.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 2018 to December 2022 in four tertiary care hospitals of Ukraine. The diagnostic criteria were based on specific HAI site were adapted from the CDC/NHSN case definitions.
Results: Of 1,084 postoperative patients with intracranial aneurysm, 128 (11.4%) HAIs were observed. The most common of HAI type was possible ventilatorassociated pneumonia (38.2%) followed by central line-associated bloodstream infections (33.8%), catheter -associated urinary tract infection (18.5%), and surgical site infection (9.6%). Inpatient mortality from HAI was 5.1%. Emergency admission, mechanical ventilation, taking antiplatelet aggregation drugs, albumin reduction, hyperglycaemia, hyponatremia, surgical procedure, operation time > 4 h, mechanical ventilation, urinary catheter, and central venous catheterization were risk factors associated with HAI in patients with intracranial aneurysm surgery. A total of 26% cases of HAIs by MDROs were notified over the study period. Klebsiella spp. – essentially K. pneumoniae – were the most frequent, followed by Enterobacter spp. and Escherichia coli. Carbapenemase production in Enterobacterales constituted the most frequent mechanism of resistance, while ESBL-production in Enterobacterales and meticillin-resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were detected in 65,7% 62,3% and 20% of cases, respectively.
Conclusions: The present study showed that HAIs is a common complication in postoperative patients with intracranial aneurysm in Ukraine and multidrugresistant organisms the major pathogen causing infection.

Published: April 2024

Aim: To demonstrate the impact of individual exercise training on the course of the disease, exercise tolerance and quality of life (QoL) in patients over 75 years after acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Materials and methods: Study included octogenarians after ACS randomly assigned into two groups: a training group (ExT) subjected to individualized physical training and a control group (CG) with standard recommendations for activity. Patients underwent exercise tolerance test (ETT), 6-minute walk test (6-MWT), NHP and QoL questionnaires evaluation, lab tests, ECG, echocardiographic examination at the beginning and after 2, 6 and 12 months.
Results: Study included 51 patients, mean age 80 years, 50% men, all patients completed the study. Initial physical capacity was comparable in both groups. After 2-month training the average ETT exercise time increased by 12.5% (p=0.0004), the load increased by 13% (p=0.0005) and the 6-MWT results improved by 8.3% (p=0.0114). Among CG these changes were not significant. But 6 and 12 months after training cessation 6-MWT results returned to the initial values (p=0.069, p=0.062 respecitvely). Average ETT exercise time and average load decreased significantly after 12 months (p=0.0009, p=0.0006). Level of pain was significantly lower at the end of the training in ExT group (p=0.007), but it returned to initial 12 months later (p=0.48). QoL deteriorated significantly in the ExT group 12 months after training cessation (p=0.04).
Conclusions: Cardiac rehabilitation in octogenarians after ACS was safe and improved physical performance in a short period of time. Cessation of training resulted in a loss of achieved effects and deterioration of the QoL.

Published: April 2024

Aim: To investigate the gender and age characteristics of psychopathological symptoms in patients in the acute phase of respiratory infection SARS-CoV-2.
Materials and Methods: A total of 66 patients aged 8 to 92 years, sick with COVID-19 during inpatient treatment with lung damage from 30 to 70%, confirmed radiologically, in the period up to 20 days from the onset of the disease, were examined. To assess the mental status of patients with COVID-19, we used a clinical, clinical-psychopathological, psychometric method, which included the following questionnaires as part of psychiatric screening for studying psychopathological symptoms upon admission to the hospital. The Patient Health Questionnaire – PHQ-9, The Generalised Anxiety Disorder – GAD-7, Hamilton Test were used. The research data collection period is from 2020 to 2022.
Results: Acute respiratory infection СОVID-19 affects the psycho-emotional state. During inpatient treatment, 60.6% of patients have symptoms of depression, 66.1% have anxiety symptoms. Most women with COVID-19 are characterized by moderate depression according to PHQ-9, mild anxiety according to GAD-7, and moderate anxiety according to Hamilton. Mild depression characterizes most men according to PHQ-9, absence of anxiety according to GAD-7, and mild anxiety according to Hamilton. Anxiety symptoms were less pronounced among men with COVID-19, with insomnia and respiratory symptoms being the most significant. Among women, anxiety (p≤0.001), tension, depression (p≤0.001), somatic muscle (p≤0.001) and respiratory symptoms (p≤0.001) predominate in the structure of anxiety during the active phase of COVID-19.
Conclusions: The data obtained will be useful in the development of psychoprophylactic measures in patients with COVID-19.

Published: April 2024

Aim: Optimization of the clinical and diagnostic examination algorithm of patients with cross bite, aggravated by cranio-mandibular dysfunction and postural disorders.
Materials and Methods: 22 patients aged 13-16 years with cross bite with displacement of the lower jaw were examined. The first group consisted of 15 people with a right-sided displacement of the lower jaw, the second – 7 patients with a left-sided one. The condition of the musculoskeletal system was assessed by the position of the head, shoulders, shoulder blades, back (curvature of the spine), legs, chest shape, and abdomen. To determine the state of stability of the body in space, posturological and kinesiological tests were performed. The location of TMJ elements was evaluated on orthopantomograms. Statistical processing of the material was carried out with the help of the “Excel” license package.
Results: 63.64% of patients with a cross bite have disorders of the musculoskeletal system: scoliotic posture – 40.91% and scoliosis – 22.73%. TMJ dysfunction was detected in all examined patients. It was established that the anatomical and topographic features of the joint elements depend on the side of the lower jaw displacement.
Conclusions: The functional imbalance of all structural elements of the musculoskeletal system and the cranio-mandibular complex determined during the research proved the need to optimize the clinical-diagnostic algorithm: consultation of a traumatologist-orthopedic doctor, X-ray examination of TMJ, conducting posturological tests.
Connecting Poincaré Inequality with Sobolev Inequalities on Riemannian Manifolds
Authors: Wei Shihshu Walter
Published: April 2024

We connect the Poincaré inequality with the Sobolev inequality on Riemannian manifold in a family of integral inequalities $(1.5)$. For these continuum of inequalities, we obtain topological structure theorems of manifolds generalizing previous unification theorems in both intrinsic and extrinsic settings ([33]). Manifolds which admit any of these integral inequalities are nonparabolic, affect topology, geometry, analysis, and admit nonconstant bounded harmonic functions of finite energy. As a consequence, we have proven a Conjecture of Schoen-Yau ([27, p.74]) to be true in dimension two with hypotheses weaker than that used in [1] and [33]$($ which were weaker than the hypotheses set in the conjecture, $($ cf. Remark 1.5$)$. In the same philosophy and spirit as in ([31]), we prove that if $M$ is a complete $n$-manifold, satisfying $\operatorname{(i)}$ the volume growth condition $(1.1)$, $\operatorname{(ii)}$ Liouville Theorem for harmonic functions, and either $\operatorname{(v)}$ a generalized Poincaré- Sobolev inequality $(1.5)$, or $\operatorname{(vi)}$ a general integral inequality $(1.6)$, and Liouville Theorem for harmonic map $u : M \to K$ with $\operatorname{Sec}^K \le 0$, then $(1)$ $M$ has only one end and $(2)$ there is no nontrivial homomorphism from fundamental group $\pi_1(\partial D)$ into $\pi_1 (K)$ as stated in Theorem $1.5$. Some applications in geometry $(\S 3)$, geometric analysis $(\S 4)$, nonlinear partial differential systems $(\S 5)$, integral inequalities on complete noncompact manifolds $(\S 6)$ are made $($cf. e.g., Theorems $3.1$, $4.1$, $5.1$, and $6.1)$. Whereas we made the first study in ([29, 32]) on how the existence of an essential positive supersolution of a second order partial differential systems $Q(u)=0$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$, (by which we mean a $C^2$ function $v \ge 0$ on $M$ that is positive almost everywhere on $M$, and that satisfies $Q(v)=\operatorname{div}(A(x,v,\nabla v)\nabla v)+b(x,v,\nabla v)v\leq 0\quad (5.1)\, $) affects topology, geometry, analysis and variational problems on the manifold $M$. Whereas we generate the work in [35], under $p$-parabolic stable condition without assuming the $p$-th volume growth condition $\lim _{r \to \infty} r^{-p}\operatorname{Vol}(B_r) =0$. The techniques, concepts, and results employed in this paper can be combined with those of essential positive supersolutions of degenerate nonlinear partial differential systems $($cf. for example, Theorems 5.1 - 5.5, 6.1, etc.$)\, $ generalizing previous work in [32, 4.11], which in term recaptures the work of Schoen-Simon-Yau ([25, Theorem 2]). The combined techniques, concepts and method of [32] and [35] can also be used in other new manifolds we found by an extrinsic average variational method ([34]).

Restoring the endangered San Francisco lessingia to Fort Funston, GGNRA: Final project completion report
Authors: Chass? Michael
Published: April 2024

San Francisco lessingia (lessingia germanorum) is an endangered plant species found in dune habitats on the northern San Francisco Peninsula of California, USA. Expanding habitat for this species through dune restoration is a key component of its recovery plan. The Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) established a project to reintroduce San Francisco lessingia to potential habitat at Fort Funston. We (park staff, contractors, and volunteers) prepared restoration areas through invasive plant removal and installation of protective fencing. Over a three-year period, we collected seeds of San Francisco lessingia from the Daly City population throughout the summer fruiting season. GGNRA nursery staff propagated San Francisco lessingia and other associated dune plants, which were planted and direct seeded at Fort Funston. A monthly volunteer stewardship program was established to support ongoing habitat restoration at Fort Funston. Park staff have initiated annual monitoring of San Francisco lessingia. As of the writing of this report, a small population of San Francisco lessingia has persisted in the primary reintroduction site. Although it is too early to determine if the reintroduction is successful in the long term, the restored dune habitats now support a more diverse dune flora with greatly reduced invasive plant threats.
Tahoma Creek Bridge focused condition assessment
Authors: Jost Robert , Kenyon Taylor , Beason Scott
Published: April 2024

The Tahoma Creek Bridge on the southwest side of Mount Rainier is an essential crossing for year-round vehicular access to Mount Rainier National Park (MORA). This site is also exposed to significant hydrologic variability, which the current structure was not designed to withstand. Locally enhanced vertical increases to the riverbed elevation, known as aggradation, threaten the structure?s long-term viability. The purpose of this report is to (1) clarify the details of channel maintenance operations related to the bridge; (2) synthesize the natural and human influences of sediment deposition in the lower watershed; and (3) discuss the potential solutions for sustainable bridge maintenance. Information was collected through prior structural inspection reports, raw hydrologic data stored by the National Park Service, and both published and unpublished reports focused on Tahoma Creek. It was found that the height and width of the Tahoma Creek Bridge are severely underfit for relatively common flooding events on Tahoma Creek. Additionally, dredging and sediment storage practices employed to maintain the bridge are ineffective and even enhance aggradation in nominal flow conditions. Further research in the Tahoma Creek Watershed suggests the river is generally efficient at exporting produced sediments and maintains a relatively stable vertical profile in its lower reaches, where the bridge is located. The singular variation from this stable vertical trend at the bridge site suggests locally enhanced aggradation at the bridge is entirely due to the presence of the bridge itself and the channel modification actions taken to support the structure. All told, neither the overall size of the Tahoma Creek Bridge nor the channel modification actions taken to maintain the crossing, are viable for long-term access into MORA. With no changes to the existing bridge profile, the status-quo for operations to manage the Tahoma Creek Bridge will eventually fail to maintain access.

Authors: K Naga Hari Krishna , M Jalaiah , B Meghana , G Mercia Rani , K Anitha , A Jagadeesh
Published: April 2024

Rosemary oil, derived from the aromatic herb Rosmarinus officinalis, has gained significant attention as a potential remedy for promoting hair growth. With a rich history in traditional medicine and an array of bioactive compounds, rosemary oil has emerged as a natural alternative in the quest for healthy and vibrant hair. This introduction explores the key constituents of rosemary oil, its historical use, and the growing body of scientific evidence supporting its efficacy in stimulating hair growth. A comparative analysis of minoxidil and rosemary oil for hair growth reveals distinct mechanisms and potential benefits associated with each. Minoxidil, a synthetic compound, is a vasodilator that widens blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to hair follicles. This increased blood circulation is thought to stimulate hair growth. In contrast, rosemary oil, a natural remedy, contains bioactive compounds like ursolic acid and rosmarinic acid, which exhibit antioxidant properties and may contribute to improved cellular health in hair follicles. While both minoxidil and rosemary oil have shown efficacy in certain studies, minoxidil' oil. Pharmaceutical nature often positions it as a standard topical treatment for hair loss. Rosemary oil, on the other hand, is considered a botanical alternative, appealing to those seeking natural remedies. However, comprehensive clinical trials comparing the long-term effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of these treatments are still limited.

Authors: Shrestha Tumla , Bhandari Neema , Siluwal Nirmala
Published: April 2024

Introduction: A Pilot Study (PS) is useful for the assessment of the practicability of the methods and processes as well as the management of challenges before the main final study. The PS was conducted for the preparation of the mixed-method study related to nurses’ and parents’ perspectives regarding preterm infants’ care practice in neonatal care units (NCUs) in Nepal.
Methods: Mixed method PS was conducted among nurses and mothers of preterm infants (PTIs) admitted to a NCU of an academic tertiary hospital. For data collection among nurses, a self-administered questionnaire and focus group discussion (FGD) were used in the quantitative and qualitative phases respectively. Whereas in-person interviews and in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted among mothers in the quantitative and qualitative phases respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis methods.
Results: The major amendments based on PS findings were the study design from convergent parallel to exploratory sequential mixed-method design for contextual instrument development, the addition of the observation method of data collection for enhancing the validity of the findings related to care practice, and the inclusion of both parents of PTIs instead of only mothers. The PS was also useful for providing the experience of qualitative and mixed-method study for the researcher for the final study, especially for the qualitative part.
Conclusion: This article reflects the contribution of the PS to the main mixed-method study. Therefore, it is worthy to conduct the PS to enhance the methodological rigor of the study. It is commendable to discuss and disseminate the PS findings.

Effect of Dietary Ginger (Zingiber officinalis) Powder on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, And Gut Microbiota in Weaned Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
Authors: Anslem T. Lufong , Guiekep N. A. J , Niba Aziwo T.
Published: April 2024

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary ginger powder as a natural feed additive on the growth performance, carcass traits and gut microbiota of growing rabbits. For this purpose, a total of 36 equal-sexed New Zealand white rabbits aged 6 weeks ± 5 days old were randomly assigned into 4 treatments with 3 replicates each. The control animals (T0) received the basal diet without feed additive, while the 3 other groups T1, T2, and T3 respectively received diets 5, 10, and 15 g of ginger/kg of feed. Data was collected on feed intake, body weight gain, carcass indices and gut microbial load. Results revealed that the inclusion of ginger significantly (p<0.05) increased daily feed intake approximately by 16.02 g in T1 (5g ginger) compared to the control. The total feed intake followed the same trend. Daily weight gain increased approximately by 3.46g T3 (15g ginger). The feed conversion ratio was not significantly affected by dietary ginger inclusion. The addition of ginger did not significantly (p>0.05) affect the carcass characteristics of rabbits; However, a reduction was observed in abdominal fat content with approximately 0.81% in T3. Ginger powder in rabbits’ diets caused a decrease in the population of pathogenic microorganisms (gram-positive bacteria) but did not have any effects on total coliforms (gram-negative bacteria). It can therefore be concluded that ginger could be added to growing rabbits’ feed to improve live weight and reduce levels of gram-positive bacteria

Published: April 2024

The study is set out to investigate the impact of responsibility accounting on cost efficiency at Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (R.C.Z) in Masvingo Province. The study was largely prompted by the fact that despite having been functional, the Organisation was still facing a lot of challenges characterised by abuse of resources such as misappropriation of funds, high labour turnover and low profitability as a result of high running costs. The study used Pragmatic approach and paradigm in its methodology. The target population for the study comprised of top, middle and lower-level management and a sample of 45 employees from the four departments in the province was used. Stratified random sampling (probability sampling) was used. It is observed that some departments were operating without a Responsibility accounting policy in place and also there was no communication of Responsibility accounting role to various employees. In addition it is observed that inadequate ‘training programmes of employees, failure to consider lower-level management in budgetary formation and Inter departmental conflicts are major challenges bedevilling effective implementation of responsibility accounting. The study concludes that responsibility accounting plays a critical role in enhancing cost efficiency within the organisation thus responsibility accounting has got a positive influence on cost efficiency. The study recommends that a uniform responsibility accounting policy be formulated across all departments’ effective supervision and control over each cost centre be implemented and adequate training programmes to employees be provided
Analysis Of Postpartum Maternal Depression Level In Makassar
Authors: Nurhidayah  , Nurul Fadhillah Gani
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT

Postpartum depression can negatively impact the health of mothers, children and families. Postpartum depression affects the interaction between mother and baby. Mothers with postpartum depression are more likely to express negative attitudes towards their babies. The breakdown of the mother-infant relationship at an early age has a major impact on a child's development. Globally, the prevalence of postpartum depression in the world varies from 6.5% to 15% during 1 year after delivery. Because of this, depression really needs special attention to psychiatric disorders. The effects of postpartum depression can disrupt intimacy and attachment because depressed mothers are often disinterested in their babies and refuse to breastfeed them. The aim of this research is to determine the level of depression in postpartum mothers and to determine the relationship between respondent characteristics and the level of depression in postpartum pregnant women.

The research method used was a quantitative method with a descriptive approach and sample determination using a cluster random sampling technique which took place from 19 May – 30 September. This research was conducted by giving questionnaires containing the EPDS and PSSQ to 200 postpartum mothers.

The results of the study were analyzed using frequency analysis and the chi-squere test and it was found that out of 200 respondents only 73 people were not depressed while 147 people were already in the depression category. This proves that the high number of psychological problems experienced by postpartum mothers with their new role as mothers. Psychological changes in the mother can have an impact on the mother and of course on the baby, it is not uncommon for depressed mothers to leave their children alone even in more severe cases if left untreated, where the mother chooses to end her life and that of her baby.

Nowadays, many people around the world depend mostly on agriculture for their livelihood. In the majority of countries around the world, it is the most significant occupation for many families. Unfortunately, farmers, particularly in oil palm plantations, continue to rely on age-old practices. One of the key elements in achieving high and long-term oil palm production on peat is the adoption of efficient precision water management. In essence, this means maintaining the water table at the necessary depth. Because of the peat's persistently low water table, oil palm productivity has sharply decreased. In this work, an Internet of Things (IoT) for precision agriculture monitoring is developed using a long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN) algorithm. Based on an approach point of view, a LoRaWAN is a long-range, low-power, low-bitrate wireless telecommunications system meant to be used as part of the Internet of Things architecture. The end devices link to gateways through a single wireless hop using LoRaWAN. These gateways function as transparent bridges, relaying messages from the end devices to a central network server. The ultimate result is the creation of a precision water management assistance algorithm employing LoRaWAN and IoT that is both affordable and effective.
ГРОМАДЯНСЬКА ОСВІТА В ПРОФІЛЬНІЙ ШКОЛІ В УКРАЇНІ ТА ЗАРУБІЖНИХ КРАЇНАХ

Published: April 2024

У науковій доповіді представлено ключовий підхід до розуміння ролі освіти, зокрема громадянської освіти, на сучасному етапі суспільного розвитку як чинника забезпечення національної безпеки. Проведений аналіз компетентнісного потенціалу громадянської та історичної освітньої галузі дав підстави для висновку, що громадянська освіта має бути обов’язковим складником змісту профільної середньої освіти. У результаті здійсненого дослідження виявлено різні підходи до організації громадянської освіти в європейських країнах. Аналіз зарубіжного досвіду дав змогу встановити, що громадянська освіта покликана забезпечити формування громадянської компетентності та є обов’язковим складником змісту старшої профільної освіти, а також вагомим складником змісту громадянської освіти є правові знання та цінності. З’ясовано, що європейська модель громадянської освіти орієнтована на засвоєння учнями комплексу знань про устрій суспільства і держави, місце та роль у ньому громадянських інститутів та власне громадян як активних, залучених учасників демократичних процесів на різних рівнях. На основі зарубіжного досвіду запропоновано два варіанти впровадження громадянської освіти у старшій профільній школі в Україні: окремий інтегрований курс «Громадянська освіта»; інтеграція відповідного змісту в інші предмети/курси як історія тощо.
Do conto como cânone da poesia: Eça, Machado e as aporias da modernidade
Authors: Rodrigues Isabel Cristina
Published: April 2024

Se nos propusermos ler os contos «Missa do Galo», de Machado de Assis (1893), e «Civilização» (1892), de Eça de Queirós, à luz da pauta catego­rial do conto, verificamos que a inquestionável modernidade da narrativa breve de Machado não se mostra propriamente reconhecível no conto queirosiano. Na esteira já antiga (mas inquestionavelmente moderna) de Poe, o conto de Machado procura mostrar por que razão o exercício narra­tivo é, neste género literário, tão necessário como malquisto – porque há sempre nele uma história para contar, mas dela conta-se apenas o seu ros­to mais visível, cujo perfil secreto parece preferir recolher-se à virtualida­de significativa de um instante que abre depois para o que o transcende em possibilidade de significação. Por seu lado, o conto de Eça, publicado pela primeira vez em 1892 na portuguesa Gazeta de Notícias (e que viria posteriormente a figurar como matriz do romance A cidade e as serras, publicado em 1901), não acolhe a discursividade de fotograma que enfor­ma o conto de Machado de Assis, ainda hoje profundamente moderno na defesa compositiva de uma brevidade que não pode medir-se em função do fio de lógica ditado pelo número.
Modernas, sim. Feministas, não – breves considerações sobre a emancipação das mulheres em João do Rio e Júlia Lopes de Almeida
Authors: Dealtry Giovanna
Published: April 2024

A chamada Belle Époque carioca configura-se como um espaço de debates públicos acirrados sobre o surgimento da mulher moderna. O presen­te artigo analisa como João do Rio e Júlia Lopes de Almeida apoiaram a emancipação feminina em termos alinhados com os ideais da moder­nidade, ao mesmo tempo em que teciam críticas a certos aspectos das práticas feministas. Para isso, investiga-se como o discurso literário – em contos, crônicas e entrevistas – adquire funções pedagógicas e moralizan­tes frente a um feminismo que, muitas vezes, parecia colocar em risco a estabilidade da família, ancorada na figura materna.

Overcoming Challenges of Education: Effects of Structural Violence and Advances in Quality Education in Colombia and Pakistan
Authors: Mazo Quintero Durley Tatiana , Hussain Fida Muhammad Fida
Published: April 2024

Far from solely direct, structural violence moves stealthily within the very frameworks of society, injuring in ways not seen. Its harms manifest not in physical blows but through the architecture of injustice, through inequities etched into policies, laws, norms. Having this in mind, the main goal of this paper is to present how structural violence takes place in the sustainable development goal of Quality Education (SDG4) in Colombia and Pakistan. To make it possible, structural violence will be defined, as well as the sustainable development goals, and in particular its goal 4 about quality of education. Likewise, it will be analyzed how SDG-4 correlates with other sustainable development goals. This study adopts a cyclical and exploratory approach to theory development as its scaffolding, specifically Grounded Theory methodology. data collection and analysis techniques follow the mixed method with a transformative theoretical design prioritizing qualitative interviews findings. Results highlight the current status of SDG 4 in Colombia and Pakistan, illuminating how ingrained systemic biases and discrimination undermine equitable quality education. Experts outline interlinked recommendations such as sustained investment in education systems, building societal recognition of education as a human right, engaging communities to shift discriminatory beliefs and norms, and centering marginalized groups' agency in political and social reform efforts. A multifaceted approach combining top-down resource provision and bottom-up consciousness-raising is advocated among other recommendations. Overcoming structural violence requires transforming systemic structures while simultaneously shifting societal mindsets perpetuating discrimination in education.
