Authors: Miranda-García Maria Auxiliadora , Hoffelner Marcus , Stoll Hagen , Ruhaltinger Dörte , Cichutek Klaus , Siedler Anette , Bekeredjian-Ding Isabelle
Published: April 2022

Background

Unavailability of vaccines endangers the overall goal to protect individuals and whole populations against infections.

Methods

The German notification system includes the publication of vaccine supply shortages reported by marketing authorisation holders (MAH), information on the availability of alternative vaccine products, guidance for physicians providing vaccinations and an unavailability reporting tool to monitor regional distribution issues.

Aim

This study provides a retrospective analysis of supply issues and measures in the context of European and global vaccine supply constraints.

Results

between October 2015 and December 2020, the 250 notifications concerned all types of vaccines (54 products). Most shortages were caused by increased demand associated with immigration in Germany in 2015 and 2016, new or extended vaccine recommendations, increased awareness, or changes in global immunisation programmes. Shortages of a duration up to 30 days were mitigated using existing storage capacities. Longer shortages, triggered by high demand on a national level, were mitigated using alternative products and re-allocation; in a few cases, vaccines were imported. However, for long lasting supply shortages associated with increased global demand, often occurring in combination with manufacturing issues, few compensatory mechanisms were available. Nevertheless, only few critical incidents were identified: (i) shortage of hexavalent vaccines endangering neonatal immunisation programmes in 2015;(ii) distribution issues with influenza vaccines in 2018; and (iii) unmet demand for pneumococcal and influenza vaccines during the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 pandemic.

Conclusion

Vaccine product shortages in Germany resemble those present in neighbouring EU states and often reflect increased global demand not matched by manufacturing capacities.

Published: April 2022

Background

Influenza vaccination is widely recommended for healthcare workers (HCWs) in European countries, but the coverage is not always satisfactory. In Finland, a new act was introduced in March 2017, according to which it is the employer’s responsibility to appoint only vaccinated HCWs for servicing vulnerable patients.

Aim

We determined the influenza vaccination coverage among HCWs in Finnish acute care hospitals in three influenza seasons after introduction of the act.

Methods

We analysed data collected by an internet-based survey sent annually to all Finnish acute care hospitals and described the influenza vaccination coverage among HCWs during seasons 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2019/20. We calculated mean coverage per healthcare district and season.

Results

In season 2017/18, 38 of 39 hospitals, in 2018/19, 35 of 36 hospitals and in 2018/19 31 of 33 hospitals provided data. The mean influenza vaccination coverage was 83.7% (SD: 12.3) in season 2017/18, 90.8% (SD: 8.7) in 2018/19 and 87.6% (SD: 10.9) in season 2019/20. There was no significant increase or decrease in the mean coverage across the three seasons. The differences between districts were only significant in 2018/19 (p < 0.005).

Conclusions

The coverage of influenza-vaccinated HCWs in Finnish hospitals was high in all three seasons and the current legal situation (semi-mandatory system) in Finland seems to provide a good background for this. Data collection should be maintained and improved for further monitoring.

Many countries, including some within the EU/EEA, are in the process of transitioning from the acute pandemic phase. During this transition, it is crucial that countries’ strategies and activities remain guided by clear COVID-19 control objectives, which increasingly will focus on preventing and managing severe outcomes. Therefore, attention must be given to the groups that are particularly vulnerable to severe outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including individuals in congregate and healthcare settings. In this phase of pandemic management, a strong focus must remain on transitioning testing approaches and systems for targeted surveillance of COVID-19, capitalising on and strengthening existing systems for respiratory virus surveillance. Furthermore, it will be crucial to focus on lessons learned from the pandemic to enhance preparedness and to enact robust systems for the preparedness, detection, rapid investigation and assessment of new and emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. Filling existing knowledge gaps, including behavioural insights, can help guide the response to future resurgences of SARS-CoV-2 and/or the emergence of other pandemics. Finally, ‘vaccine agility’ will be needed to respond to changes in people’s behaviours, changes in the virus, and changes in population immunity, all the while addressing issues of global health equity.

Can Antipsychotics and Antidepressants Affect the Formation or Chronicization of Aortic Dissections?
Authors: DEPBOYLU Burak Can , HARMANDAR Buğra , ARSLAN Kadir , YAZMAN Serkan
Published: April 2022

Acute Stanford type-A aortic dissections (STAAD) are life-threatening diseases which require

emergency surgery to eliminate risks of aortic rupture, severe aortic valve insufficiency, pericardial

tamponade and cerebral and/or coronary malperfusion. Only a small subset of patients go unnoticed

and become chronic with unclear mechanism. These patients are usually diagnosed thru late symptoms

or incidentally. Surgical techniques requiring cardiopulmonary bypass and sometimes deep hypothermia

and circulatory arrest are first-line treatments with considerable mortality and complications. Herein,

an incidentally diagnosed chronic STAAD patient who was receiving antipsychotic and antidepressant

treatment and successfully repaired with total aortic arch replacement was presented.

Authors: KİŞİOĞLU Savaş Volkan , YILMAZ Güven
Published: April 2022

Amaç: Çalışmamızda kronik düşük doz radyasyon maruziyetinin, ortalama trombosit hacmi (MPV)

üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Radyoloji, Radyasyon Onkolojisi ve Nükleer Tıp Bölümlerinde

görev yapan olgular ve kontrol grubu olarak radyasyon maruziyeti olmayan sağlıklı gönüllüler dâhil

edildi. Çalışmada tam hemogram tetkiki için alınan kan örnekleri etilen diamin tetra asetik asit (EDTA)

antikoagülasyonu ile alındı. Periferik yaymaların değerlendirilmesi bir Hematoloji Uzmanı tarafından

yapıldı. Tüm olguların tıbbi muayene ve tıbbi bilgileri araştırıcı tarafından kaydedildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya Radyoloji, Radyasyon Onkolojisi ve Nükleer Tıp Bölümlerinde görev yapan 76 olgu

ve radyasyon maruziyeti olmayan 20 olgu çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Radyasyon maruziyeti olan grupta

ortalama yaş 35,54±8,80 iken kontrol grubunda ortalama yaş 30,05±4,97 dir. Radyasyon maruziyeti

gözlenen olguların MPV ölçüm değeri, radyasyon maruziyeti gözlenmeyen olgulara göre istatistiksel

olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek saptanmıştır (p= 0,001). Olgular radyasyon maruziyet süresine göre

10 yıla kadar ve 10 yıldan fazla olarak iki gruba ayrılarak değerlendiğinde her iki grubun MPV değeri

radyasyon maruziyeti olmayanlara göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulunmuştur (sırasıyla p=0,016 ve

p=0,001)

Sonuç: Kronik radyasyona maruz kalan meslek gruplarında rutin olarak akciğer sorunları, hematolojik

sorunlar ve diğer bedensel sorunlar değerlendirilmektedir. Ancak bu değerlendirmelerde ateroskleroz

ve kardiyovasküler yönden düzenli ve zorunlu bir inceleme bulunmamaktadır. Her ne kadar bu konuda

büyük ölçekli çalışma sonuçları mevcut olmasa da kronik radyasyon maruziyeti olan çalışanların

aterosklerotik kardiyovasküler hastalıklar yönünden de takip edilmesi gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz

Published: April 2022

Amaç: Bu araştırma tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin cinsel mitlere inanma düzeylerini ve bunu etkileyen

faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi soru formu ile cinsel

mitlerin değerlendirilmesi formunu içeren bir anket internet ortamında katılımcılara ulaştırılması ile elde

edilmiştir. Veriler IBM SPSS programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Ankete katılan öğrencilerin (n=333) %66,4’ü kadın, %33,6’sı erkekti. Öğrencilerin %50’den

fazlasının inandığı/kararsız kaldığı 6 tane mit saptanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin cinsellikle

ilgili bilgi edinmede kaynak olarak en sık interneti kullandığı ve ailelerinin “cinsellikle ilgili konuşmadığı”

bulunmuştur. Cinsel mitlere inanma oranlarının cinsiyetlere, anne ve baba eğitim düzeylerine göre

farklılık gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Öğrenciler arasında 18 mitte cinsiyetler arasında fark bulunmazken,

12 mit için istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur. Cinsiyetler açısından eşcinsellikle ilgili mitlere

katılma durumu değerlendirildiğinde kadınların 4 mite erkeklere göre daha yüksek oranda katılmadığı

görülmüştür.

Sonuç: Tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin oluşturduğu bir grupta 30 tane mitin yarıya yakınında cinsiyetler

arasında fark görülmesi dikkat çekicidir. Öğrencilerin içinde yetiştirildikleri toplumun cinsiyet ve cinsel

rollerin etkisi altında kaldıklarını düşündürmektedir. Çocukluk çağından itibaren yapılandırılmış bir cinsel

eğitim programı sağlıklı cinsel davranışı teşvik etmede önem taşımaktadır. Gelecekte sağlık hizmeti

sağlayıcısı olarak sektörde yerini alacak olan tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin cinsel mitlere inanma durumu ve

etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi, hastaların cinsel sorunları ve bilgilendirilmesine ilişkin yaklaşımlarına

katkı sağlayabilir.

Authors: ASLANER AK Müzeyyen , SAHİP Birsen , ÇELEBİ Güven , HORUZ Emre , ERTOP Şehmus
Published: April 2022

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the abnormalities and temporal changes in peripheral blood

parameters, with particular emphasis on platelet indices, in relation to survival status among hospitalized

COVID-19 patients.

Material and Methods: A total of 149 patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of COVID-19 were included.

Laboratory parameters were recorded on initial admission, 3rd, 7th and last day of hospitalization, and

post-discharge first month and included hemoglobin (Hb, g/dL), hematocrit (%), white blood cell (WBC)

(x109/L), platelet (cells/mm3) and lymphocyte counts (cells/μL), mean platelet volume (MPV, fL), platelet

distribution width (PDW, %), plateletcrit (PCT,%) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio ( PLR), and analysed.

Results: Overall, 139 (93.9%) patients survived. Survivors vs. non-survivors had significantly higher

median levels for Hb at initial admission (13.3 vs. 12.2 g/dL, p=0.023), 3rd day (12.6 vs. 11.7 g/dL,

p=0.033) and 7th day of hospitalization (12.5 vs. 9.8 g/dL, p=0.014) and for lymphocyte counts at

initial admission (1200 vs. 800 cells/μL, p=0.014) and 3rd day (1400 vs. 1200 cells/μL, p=0.043) of

hospitalization. They also had significantly lower WBC counts at initial admission (5800 vs. 7900 x109/L,

p=0.014), 3rd day (5400 vs. 6047 x109/L, p=0.007) and 7th day (6100 vs. 8400 x109/L, p=0.040) and

last day (6200 vs. 17700 x109/L, p=0.018) of hospitalization and lower PLR at initial admission (165 vs.

294.5, p=0.002) and 3rd hospitalization day (150 vs. 223, p=0.003).

Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings emphasize clinical significance of dynamic monitoring of

peripheral blood parameters, as combined with PLR, in assisting clinicians to identify COVID-19 patients

with increased risk of worse outcomes.
Dağınık Planlı Kent Dışı Genç Üniversite Yerleşkelerinde Büyüme ve Gelişme: Düzce Üniversitesi Konuralp Yerleşkesi Örneği
Authors: GÜNEŞ Zelihan , GÖKÇE Duygu
Published: April 2022

Üniversiteler, mekânsal ve fonksiyonel açıdan farklı düzenlemeler göstererek kent içi ve kent dışı yerleşkeler olarak kurulabilirler. Son yıllarda yapılan bütçe planlamaları, çeşitli sosyal, kültürel, politik ve ekonomik nedenlerden dolayı ülkemizde talep edilen bir düzenleme de, kent dışı dağınık tip üniversite yerleşke modelleridir. Bu tip yerleşkeler, ayrık yapılaşma nedeniyle, uzun yaya ve araç yollarına bağımlı bir şekilde gelişimlerine devam ederler. Dahası, üniversiteler özerk planlama süreci ve yapılaşmaları gereği, çevrede hâkim olan tipolojik ve morfolojik yapılaşmaya uyum arayışında değillerdir. Bu durum bir yandan tasarım esnekliği açısından bir avantaj yaratırken, diğer yandan da, yerleşke planlaması tasarım sürecinin yönetimini önemli hale getirir. Fakat bu yönde yapılan uygulamalarda tasarımı yönlendirici metodolojik çalışmalar kısıtlı kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı da morfolojik bir yaklaşım üzerinden, kampüs gelişim süreçlerini incelemek ve ilgili tasarımı yönlendirici öneriler geliştirmektir. Çalışmanın örneklem alanı olarak, daha önce benzer bir çalışmanın yapılmadığı ve mekânsal açıdan kurulduğu 2006 yılından bu yana birçok değişiklik yaşamış kent dışı dağınık tip Düzce Üniversitesi Konuralp Yerleşkesi seçilmiştir. Analizlerde, mekânsal dönüşümlerin kampüs yaşamına etkileri vurgulanmış, ağırlıklı olarak planlamanın insan hareketlerine, mekânsal ilişkilere, yaya ve araç yollarına etkisi üzerinde durulmuştur. En belirgin etkinin, yerleşke girişlerinin yeniden planlanması neticesinde değişen konfigürasyon kurgusu sonucu ciddi değişimler gösteren sosyal kullanım örüntüleri üzerine olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Değişen ulaşım ağı ile birlikte yapı ve açık alan kullanımları da değişiklik göstermiştir. Çalışma, özellikle genç üniversite yerleşkelerinin planlama ve gelişim süreçlerinde literatürde sıklıkla bahsedilen avantaj ve dezavantajlarını da doğrular niteliktedir. Kampüs değişim sürecinin incelenmesi neticesinde verilen önerilerin de gelecek yıllarda yapılacak kampüs gelişimi süreçlerinde, başta Düzce Üniversitesi olmak üzere, dağınık planlı gelişmekte olan üniversite kampüsleri için yönlendirici olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Marmara Bölgesinin verimli topraklarına sahip olan Sakarya ili, mısır üretimi bakımından önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Sakarya ili mısır üretim alanlarında sorun olan yabancı ot türleri tespit edilmiş ve belirlenen bu yabancı otlara karşı uygulanan yabancı ot mücadele yöntemleri ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Bunun yanında yabancı otları ve mücadele yöntemlerini etkileyeceği düşünülen faktörleri de saptamak amacıyla 2019 yılında üreticilerle görüşülerek anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında Sakarya ilinin Adapazarı, Erenler, Akyazı, Hendek, Serdivan ve Söğütlü ilçelerindeki 50 mısır üreticisine yöneltilen 22 anket sorusunun cevapları değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; yapılan anket çalışmalarına göre mısır üreticilerinin %70’i yabancı otların tarlalarda orta derecede sorun olduğunu, %40’ı Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. (Kanyaş)’nin ve %32’si Echionochloa crus-galli (L.) P.B. (Darıcan)’nin tarlada en çok karşılaştıkları yabancı otlar olduğunu, bu türlerin verim kaybına ve hasat sırasında zorluklara neden olduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Üreticilerin %80’i yabancı otlara karşı kimyasal mücadeleyi tercih ettiklerini, bu amaçla herbisitleri daha çok çıkış sonrası dönemde uyguladıklarını, %66’sı nicosulfuron ve dicamba+tritosulfuron etkili maddeli herbisitleri tercih ettiklerini, %70’i tavsiye dozuna uymadıklarını ve %32’si ise tavsiye dönemine uymadıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca, üreticilerin aynı etki mekanizmasına sahip herbisitleri uzun süredir uyguladıkları tespit edilmiştir.

FREE TRADE AGREEMENT (FTA) WITH CHINA AND INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPORTS AND IMPORTS
Authors: Kristjánsdóttir Helga , Guðjónsson Sigurður , Kristján Óskarsson Guðmundur
Published: April 2022

The world trade system appears to gravitate toward trade blocks. While the European Union (EU) is by far the largest trade block in Europe, the subject of this research is focused on another European block, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), with the member states of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. Unlike the EU, the EFTA countries can enter into Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) individually, with another country, whenever they choose. The world's largest increasing trading house over the last two decades is China, but it has not yet signed an FTA with the EU. However, China has a bilateral agreement with both Iceland and Switzerland. The methodology of this research involves using the STATA program for statistical regression estimation of simultaneous equation system since it estimates the interaction between the trade going between the countries. This allows for considering substitution or complementary effects between the goods flowing back and forth between the countries. The methodology is based on the means of the gravity model. This research aims to answer the following question: is it beneficial for small countries such as Iceland and Switzerland to have a bilateral agreement with China? This research focuses on estimating trade flows, in US dollars, between China and Iceland on the one hand and between China and Switzerland on the other. Results from regression analysis indicate that when accounting for the FTAs, import to Iceland from China positively affects exports from Iceland to China, but not the other way around. However, estimates for trade between Switzerland and China show the reverse of this to be true. When presenting and analyzing literature and economic studies in the field, selection data and presenting the three-stage regression result, accounting for the Free Trade Agreements with China, our conclusion is the following: The trade relation of China with the two small European countries of Iceland and Switzerland has developed such that in 2014 the Free Trade Agreements between China and Iceland, and China and Switzerland came into effect. A combination of the three-stage least-squares regression, as well as the gravity model, allowing for accountancy of FTAs is applied. We conclude that when accounting for the FTAs, import to Iceland from China has stimulated exports from Iceland to China, but not the other way around. However, the estimates for Switzerland are reverse to the estimates received for Iceland.
HOW DOES ACTIVE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AFFECT THE EFFICIENCY OF GOVERNANCE AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OF PUBLIC FINANCE? THE UKRAINIAN CASE
Authors: Kotina Hanna , Stepura Maryna , Kondro Pavlo
Published: April 2022

The challenges of the digital economy are leading to radical changes in public governance, creating conditions for convenient and prompt access to public services and public information. Moreover, the pandemic has caused drastic changes in the use of digital public service – it has become a necessity. Ukraine has significant prerequisites for the development and effective transformation of public administration to a higher technological level. Furthermore, during the time of crisis (2013-2014, 2020-2021), the government priorities were shifted to support digital transformations to improve the effectiveness of public administration and ensure the sustainability of public finance. The purpose of the paper is to investigate and assess a correspondence between efficiency of governance and sustainability of public finance based on digital transformations under the Ukrainian approach. The main scientific question was: How does the active digital transformation in public governance affect the sustainability of public finance in Ukraine? Methodology. Seeking the solution, own methodological developments were used; correlation analysis of main indicators of government effectiveness and sustainability of public finance was estimated. To assess the impact of digitalization on public governance efficiency, Ukrainian governance practices over the past 13 years were analyzed, expressed by indicators of governance effectiveness, through the introduction of digital technologies. Results. Based on empirical research, it has been found that due to several limitations, a strong direct relationship between active digital transformation and the sustainability of public finances (debt security) has not been identified. But at the same time, significant progress has been made in efficiency of public governance through the implementation of costly but effective digital change. This correspondence is especially noticeable during the crisis caused by the pandemic (2020-2021), during which the involvement of citizens in digital services is very high. Practical implications and value/originality. The convergence of synergies between key aspects – public governance, digitalization, finance, and security – has great potential for relevant solutions that provide a broader view of sustainable development issues. It can be noted that this issue is extremely relevant for further research in the field of public administration and finance in the context of sustainable development of the digital economy.

Published: April 2022

The study aims is to determine the components of the region’s inclusive development and its results through the analysis of population welfare. Methodology. To achieve the goal of the study, the general methods (analysis, deduction), methods of abstraction for building models, empirical methods (comparison, measurement, questionnaire) were used. Findings. Analyzing studies devoted to the inclusive development of the economy, the authors put forward a personal vision of the basis for the inclusive development of an industrial region, consisting of the economy of the region, the community living in a given territory and the environment, and their interrelationships, which made it possible to propose a conceptual model for the involvement of members of the territorial community in inclusive development. Originality. The author's inclusive business model for the development of the region is proposed. It is aimed at attracting investments through the existing positive image, brand of the territory and additional value, which, unlike the existing ones, does not focus on factor conditions (minerals, land) of economic development, but focuses on human resources, that constituted an element of scientific novelty of the study. One of the main prerequisites for the implementation and development of the inclusive business model – the well-being of the population – was detected. Therefore, a study, which assessed and compared the welfare of the population of different regions of Ukraine, based on clearly defined indicators of living standards and quality of life was conducted. The inequality of development of different regions of Ukraine was also assessed, and its causes were identified. The conducted research the principles of regional justice contributed to the formulation of recommendations for overcoming the gaps in the welfare of the population of the Ukrainian regions. Practical value. The results obtained can be used as a scientific substantiation of reforms in the internal regional, social, and economic policy of Ukraine aimed at ensuring qualitative structural changes in the domestic economy.
A Review on Ranking of Z-numbers
Authors: Bilgin Fırat , Alci Musa
Published: April 2022

There are numerous studies about Z-numbers since its inception in 2011. Because Z-number concept reflects human ability to make rational decisions, Z-number based multi-criteria decision making problems are one of these studies. When the problem is translated from linguistic information into Z-number domain, the important question occurs that which Z-number should be selected. To answer this question, several ranking methods have been proposed. To compare the performances of these methods, benchmark set of fuzzy Z-numbers has been created in time. There are relatively new methods that their performances are not examined yet on this benchmark problem. In this paper, we worked on these studies which are relative entropy based Z-number ranking method and a method for ranking discrete Z-numbers. The authors tried to examine their performances on the benchmark problem and compared the results with the other ranking algorithms. The results are consistent with the literature, mostly. The advantages and the drawbacks of the methods are presented which can be useful for the researchers who are interested in this area.
Determination of Hydrodynamic Parameters of Chitosan Stabilized Bimetallic Nanoparticles
Authors: R. Vokhidova N. , Sh. Rashidova S.
Published: April 2022

The hydrodynamic characteristics of bimetallic Ag/Cu and Co/Ag nanoparticles stabilized by chitosan were determined. The polydispersity indexand the diameter of nanoparticles were observed to decrease in contrast tothe original polymer during the creation of chitosan stabilized bimetallicnanoparticles, decreasing from 0.342 to 0.12±0.04 and 2.5 micron to 180nm, respectively. However, the diffusion coefficient of chitosan was increased from 0.2 cm2 /s to 2.71 cm2 /s during the production of stable bimetallic nanoparticles. The lack of absorption bands at 500 nm and 700 nm-900 nm in the UV spectra of the samples suggests that in the presence ofa reducing agent, copper (II) and cobalt (II) ions undergo full reduction.The relationship between the synthesis conditions and the kind of structureof bimetallic nanoparticles “core-shell” has been discovered. Silver atomshave been shown to be both a core and a shell, depending on the synthesisconditions and chemical nature of metal ions.

Недавно была обнаружена ассоциация полиморфизмов гена SIRT1, кодирующего сиртуин-1 (фермент, обладающий деацетилазной или АДФ-рибозилтрансферазной активностью, в частности, деацетилирующий транскрипционные факторы, вовлеченные в регуляцию стресса), с тревогой и депрессией, однако его роль в механизмах развития депрессии остается малоизученной. В работе проведен анализ фармакологических эффектов ресвератрола, (активатор SIRT1 – 40 мг/кг, 4 недели, внутрибрюшинно) и никотинамида (ингибитора SIRT1 – 500 мг/кг, 4 недели, внутрибрюшинно) на проявления депрессивно-подобного поведения у мышей, вызванные хроническим непредсказуемым стрессом (ХНС). Ресвератрол снижал двигательную активность в тесте «Открытое поле» вне зависимости от ХНС, не влиял на социальное поведение и продолжительность неподвижности в тесте «Принудительное плавание» («поведенческое отчаяние»). В то время как никотинамид оказывал антидепрессивное действие в тесте «Принудительное плавание», не влияя на двигательную активность, но подавлял социальную мотивацию у животных, подверженных ХНС. Эффекты никотинамида — фармакологического блокатора SIRT1 оказались более выражены в условиях хронического стресса, чем влияние активатора SIRT1, ресвератрола. Актуальны дальнейшие исследования роли SIRT1 в молекулярно-генетических депрессогенных механизмах, вызванных стрессом.

An event or a policy taken by the government can be one of the considerations for investors in making investment decisions in a country. The existence of these events certainly contains information that can be interpreted to carry out transactions in the capital market. The tax amnesty policy is assumed to contain information that is able to respond to capital market players. The reaction of capital market participants can be measured by abnormal returns and trading volume activity. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the reaction of the capital market to the tax amnesty policy in Indonesia on shares in the banking sector because banks are the gateway for the entry of tax amnesty funds. There are 14 bank shares included in the study that fall into the criteria of government perception banks and have IPOs. This study uses the event study analysis method with an observation period of 11 days, namely t-5 to t+5 and t0 as event dates in all tax amnesty policy periods, period I (1 July 2016), period II (1 October 2016), period III (1 January 2017). The research analysis technique used a paired sample t test. The results of the study indicate that there is a reaction in banking stocks to the tax amnesty policy which can be seen from the significant positive difference between the cumulative average abnormal return before and after the tax amnesty policy period I and II, as well as the difference in cumulative average trading volume activity between before and after the tax amnesty policy period I, II, and III. The results of the study conclude that the tax amnesty policy has succeeded in increasing trading activities and providing abnormal returns to investors for two periods on banking stocks so that this issue provides meaningful information and is good news for investors.

Published: April 2022

O crescimento da população idosa é uma realidade atual e é consequência de um processo de transição demográfica eepidemiológica. O idoso com seu estado de saúde comprometido precisará da ajuda de um cuidador, geralmente alguémda família, na maioria das vezes em tempo integral, o que poderá gerar uma sobrecarga que comprometerá sua qualidadede vida. Objetiva-se analisar a produção científica à cerca da qualidade de vida dos cuidadores de idosos. Trata-se de umarevisão integrativa da literatura, cuja busca foi realizada nos indexadores LILACS, PubMed, CINAHL e Scopus. Foram analisados 18 artigos, nos quais a maioria dos estudos eram transversais. Quanto à população dos estudos, a maior parte dosartigos analisou cuidadores de idosos com Alzheimer. Os principais resultados para influenciadores na qualidade de vidados cuidadores: depressão; má qualidade do sono; dificuldades de apoio, suporte social, financeiro, físico e na divisão detarefas; falta de lazer e atividade física; problemas de saúde pré-existentes nos cuidadores; e características sócio demográficas. Através do conhecimento das variáveis que interferem na qualidade de vida dos cuidadores, pôde-se compreendercomo e o quanto essa qualidade de vida é afetada e assim projetar intervenções para melhorar a vivência dos cuidadores.Palavras - chave: cuidadores; idoso; qualidade de vida.

ABSTRACTThe growth of the elderly population is a current reality and it is a consequence of an epidemiologic demographic transition process. The elderly with compromised health will need the help of a caregiver, generally someone who is part of thefamily, most of the time in integral time, and it could generate and overburden that will compromise his or her life quality.It aims to analyze the scientific production on the life quality of elderly caregivers. This is an integrative review of literature,in which the search was performed in the indexers LILACS, PubMed, CINAHL e Scopus. 18 articles were analyzed, in whichmost of the studies were cross-sectional. Regarding the population of the study, most of the articles analyzed caregivers ofelderly people with Alzheimer. The main results for influencers in life quality of caregivers: depression; poor sleep quality;support difficulties, social, financial, physical and task division support; lack of physical activity and leisure; preexistent healthproblems in caregivers; and sociodemographic characteristics. Through knowing the variables that interfere in life qualityof caregivers, it could be understood how and when this life quality is affected and thus plan interventions to improvecaregivers’ life experience.Keywords: caregivers; elderly; quality of life.

Authors:   Ministry of National Education (Turkey, Kucuk Arzu
Published: April 2022

This research was carried out to reveal the factors affecting the water literacy of middle and high school students in Turkey. In the study, in which a total of 155 children living in Rize of Turkey participated, the data were collected using the "Water Literacy Scale" developed by Sozcu and Turker (2020a). This measurement tool was implemented as online questionnaire. The scale consisted of three sub-dimensions, namely water saving, water consciousness, and water sensitivity, and a total of thirty items. Data analysis was performed in the SPSS program, using unrelated t and One-Way Anova tests. It was concluded that the water literacy of the children differed according to finding the news about the water crisis realistic, and having a concrete experience in reusing water in some dimensions. There was no difference between the water literacy of middle and high school students. Critical suggestions based on informal learning, including parents, were made to provide water literacy to children.

The reason for the reform in 1998 was that the law did not demonstrate its role in achieving justice in the community. After 22 years of legal reform in Indonesia, the situation is not much different; there are already many legal norms that are considered incompatible with human rights and justice, but the state of Indonesian law has not changed much. Formalization of topics to be explored in relation to law enforcement, ethics, and morality of law enforcement officers. In accordance with the problem, empirical normative research methodologies using legal materials are derived from laws and regulations, as well as other scientific works. Based on the discussion, the study's findings revealed the occurrence of a multidimensional crisis in which the law's inability to show its presence in the middle of people's social lives, owing to the fact that most law enforcement agencies have failed to do so, particularly in terms of ethics and morality. As a result, other than redesigning legal standards, no other effort can be made to realize the law as commander in chief in the country of Indonesian law save by strengthening the ethics and morality of law enforcement personnel.
Timing and Duration of Student Homelessness and Educational Outcomes in Los Angeles
Authors: De Gregorio Soledad , Dhaliwal Tasminda K. , Owens Ann , Painter Gary
Published: April 2022

As student homelessness grows, little is known about how the timing and duration of homeless experiences shape K–12 outcomes. Using Los Angeles Unified School District administrative data, the authors examine whether these temporal dimensions of homelessness predict students’ achievement and attendance. The authors find that homeless students scored lower on math tests and missed more school days than students who were never homeless. These associations are largest when students experience homelessness in the year the outcomes are measured. Experiencing homelessness in only 1 year and in 2 or more years both negatively predict outcomes, but associations are larger for students experiencing homelessness in only 1 year.
Statistical Inference for G-indices of Agreement
Authors: Bonett Douglas G.
Published: April 2022

The limitations of Cohen’s κ are reviewed and an alternative G-index is recommended for assessing nominal-scale agreement. Maximum likelihood estimates, standard errors, and confidence intervals for a two-rater G-index are derived for one-group and two-group designs. A new G-index of agreement for multirater designs is proposed. Statistical inference methods for some important special cases of the multirater design also are derived. G-index meta-analysis methods are proposed and can be used to combine and compare agreement across two or more populations. Closed-form sample-size formulas to achieve desired confidence interval precision are proposed for two-rater and multirater designs. R functions are given for all results.
A Critical View on the NEAT Equating Design: Statistical Modeling and Identifiability Problems
Authors: San Martín Ernesto , González Jorge
Published: April 2022

The nonequivalent groups with anchor test (NEAT) design is widely used in test equating. Under this design, two groups of examinees are administered different test forms with each test form containing a subset of common items. Because test takers from different groups are assigned only one test form, missing score data emerge by design rendering some of the score distributions unavailable. The partially observed score data formally lead to an identifiability problem, which has not been recognized as such in the equating literature and has been considered from different perspectives, all of them making different assumptions in order to estimate the unidentified score distributions. In this article, we formally specify the statistical model underlying the NEAT design and unveil the lack of identifiability of the parameters of interest that compose the equating transformation. We use the theory of partial identification to show alternatives to traditional practices that have been proposed to identify the score distributions when conducting equating under the NEAT design.

The basic principles of creating unified design-and-technological solutions for the design of parts made of polymer composite materials are outlined. For the convenience of describing it is proposed to divide the general algorithm of designing a unified design-and-technological solution into three independent stages. The content of each of the design stages is described and it is shown that decision-making methods at each of the design stages have much in common with the adoption of design decisions used in еру mechanical engineering technology.
