Protagonismo da criança nas decisões em saúde: uma perspectiva comparada entre Brasil e Portugal
Authors: Souza Andréa Santana Leone de , Tomasevicius Filho Eduardo , Alfaiate Ana Rita
Published: June 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar e discutir as semelhanças e diferenças do regime de incapacidades adotado por Brasil e Portugal, na perspectiva da participação da criança nas decisões de saúde. Optou-se por uma abordagem de natureza qualitativa, utilizando como método o direito comparado. A partir desse levantamento legislativo, não foi possível identificar entre as legislações federais mais importantes dos dois ordenamentos dispositivos que privilegiassem, de maneira significativa, a criança na participação de suas decisões. Podendo destacar o art. 1878º do CCP que chancela o respeito à autonomia progressiva da criança e do adolescente, que sinaliza um avanço em relação à legislação brasileira. Propõe-se que os ordenamentos façam uma distinção da capacidade negocial para a capacidade existencial, essencialmente para decisões em saúde, propondo que, nesse último caso, os menores de 16 anos sejam assistidos, já que esse instituto privilegia a participação da pessoa no seu processo de decisão.
proactive approach with feature selection for thyroid classification by adopting data mining techniques
Authors: Parimala S , Vadivu P. Senthil
Published: June 2022

Data mining holds a staggering amount of promise for healthcare services due to the rapid growth of enormous amounts of electronic health records. In the past, healthcare professionals and physicians manually kept track of patient information. The data was a pain to keep up with. By modernizing and digitizing data and making it available in an easily accessible format, new strategies are introduced to reduce human labor. The main goal is to detect disease diagnosis at an earlier stage and with greater precision.Data mining is an important aspect of the classification idea in health care services. The diagnosis of diseases and the provision of necessary therapy for patients has become a major problem for healthcare providers. Thyroid disease is recognized with increased accuracy in this research using updated data mining algorithms and classification systems, which is more significant in diagnosing a chronic condition like thyroid. This study discusses the topic of dimensionality reduction and the usage of feature selection techniques, which is one of the most important tasks in feature engineering. An algorithm is proposed that provides a solution to the difficulties in the existing categorization system. According to the findings, the proposed methodology greatly improves thyroid disease classification accuracy.
Oh, the Humanity: Deflating a Humean Concept
Authors: Szymkowiak Aaron
Published: June 2022

The concept of “humanity” is integral to David Hume's Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals, but barely appears in his earlier Treatise. Many consider the later “humanity” theory superior, permitting a more “extensive” sympathy not limited by proximate associations. This paper argues for Hume's consistency on humanity by surveying The History of England. Hume's History discussions lend support to the associative, and thus limited, Treatise conception. Humanity is opposed to religious enthusiasm; its positive effects are local and particular. Moreover, Hume's historiography involves a hesitation on the content of “humane” judgments, which cannot fulfill the cosmopolitan function envisioned by many present-day interpreters.
Effect of tree plantation on composition, standing biomass and diversity of ground vegetation on sodic land of North-East region of Uttar Pradesh
Authors: Saxena A. , Rao O.
Published: June 2022

The structure,composition, yield and diversity of ground vegetation under eight tree plantations on sodic wasteland were compared among each other and with an adjacent open stand. The communities were floristically distinct from each other on different stands. However, the community on open stand was relatively more similar with the communities under Eucalyptus tereticornis and Acacia catechu plantation stands than with other stands. The herbage yield was lowest on open stand and it was higher under Acacia auriculiformis and Casuarina equisetifolia plantation stands. The contribution of grasses to the total herbage yield was maximum (98%) on open stand and minimum (27%) under C. equisetifolia plantation stand. Herbage yield in the present study also indicated an inverse relationship with soil ESP and pH, thus suggesting that on improving the sodic level of the soil, the herbage yield also increased. Shannon – Wiener diversity was lower, while concentration of dominance was higher for ground vegetation on open stand than any of the plantation stand. Among the plantation stands, diversity was higher under A. catechu, E. tereticornis and Terminalia arjuna plantation stands than under other plantation stands. Diversity tended to show a positive relation with the herbage yield, whereas the relationships between diversity and soil ESP and pH were negative. Dominance-diversity curves for all the herbaceous communities fit the geometric series. Single species dominance is more pronounced in the community on open stand than the communities under tree plantation stands.
The General Exponential form of a Neutrosophic Complex Number
Authors:   Deanship of the Preparatory Year, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, KSA, admin admin
Published: June 2022

In this paper, the general exponential form of a neutrosophic complex number is defined by virtue of the formula for indeterminacy in the angle (θ+ϑI), where (θ+ϑI) is the indeterminate angle between two indeterminate parts of the coordinate axes (x-axis and y-axis), and the general trigonometric form of a neutrosophic complex number is defined. In addition, we also provide theorems with proofs for how to find the conjugate of neutrosophic complex numbers by using the general exponential form, division of neutrosophic complex numbers by the general exponential form, multiplying two neutrosophic complex numbers by the general exponential form, and the inverted neutrosophic complex number by the general exponential form.
Application of the Hybrid Forecasting Models to Road Traffic Accidents in Algeria
Authors: Chellai Fatih
Published: June 2022

Road traffic accidents are a growing public health concern. In this study, we focused on analyzing and forecasting the monthly number of accidents, number of injuries, and number of deaths in Algeria over the period (2015–2020). For this purpose, hybrid forecasting models based on equal weights and in-sample errors were fitted, and we compared them with the seasonal autoregressive moving average (SARIMA) models. The three models retained for forecasting until 2022 are all hybrid models, one based on equal weight and two models based on in-sample errors (using the RMSE indicator). Furthermore, the hybrid models outperformed the SARIMA models for short (6 months), medium (12 months), and long horizon (24 months). The forecasting results showed that we expect an increase in the number of accidents, the number of deaths, and the number of injuries over the next 12 months. Policymakers must enhance strategies for prevention and road safety, especially in rural areas, where the highest rate of fatalities is recorded.
The Global Pension Index of Slovakia
Authors: Gubalová Jolana , Medveďová Petra , Špirková Jana
Published: June 2022

In every corner of quality of the world, the issue of pension system is being addressed. One of the most important documents that has offered its evaluation is the Mercer consulting firm and the CFA Institute, in cooperation with the Monash Center for Financial Studies. Since Slovakia is not included among the countries that evaluate these companies in their study, this paper offers the calculation of the Global Pension Index for Slovakia in the year 2020. Based on the data obtained and the grade from A to E, Slovakia is one of the countries that are rated by C+ with a total score of 65 points out of 100 as a country with a pension system “that has some good features, but also includes major risks and/or shortcomings that should be addressed. Without these improvements, its efficacy and/or long-term sustainability can be questioned.” The problems that affect the pension index of Slovakia are very low pensions for low-income groups, the level of pension assets as a percentage of GDP at the level of 14.35%, the participation in the labour rate at the level of 4.5% for the age 65 and over, and low real economic growth.
New Randomized Response Technique for Estimating the Population Total of a Quantitative Variable
Authors: Antoch Jaromír , Mola Francesco , Vozár Ondřej
Published: June 2022

A new randomized response technique for estimating the population total, or the population mean of a quantitative variable is proposed. It provides a high degree of protection to the respondents because they never report their data. Therefore, it may be favorably perceived by them and increase their willingness to cooperate. Instead of revealing the true value of the characteristic under investigation, the respondent only states whether the value is greater (or smaller) than a number which is selected by him/her at random and is unknown to the interviewer. For each respondent, this number, a sort of individual threshold, is generated as a pseudorandom number. Furthermore, two modifications of the proposed technique are presented. The first modification assumes that the interviewer also knows the generated random number. The second modification deals with the issue that, for certain variables, such as income, it may be embarrassing for the respondents to report either high or low values. Thus, depending on the value of the fixed threshold (unknown to the respondent), the respondent is asked different questions to avoid being embarrassed. The suggested approach is applied in detail to the simple random sampling without replacement, but it can be, after a straightforward modification, applied to many sampling schemes, including cluster sampling, two-stage sampling, or stratified sampling. The results of the simulations illustrate the behavior of the proposed technique.
Can Individual Human Financial Behaviour Be Mathematically Modelled? A Case Study of Elon Musk’s Dogecoin Tweets
Authors: Medzihorský Juraj , Krištofík Peter
Published: June 2022

The price of Dogecoin has been influenced by Elon Musk’s tweets on several occasions. Moreover, there are repeating patterns in the Dogecoin prices. However, is there also a pattern to the timing of the tweets? Applying linear regression, we have been able to make the reverse analysis – to use hard financial data (prices) to analyse the human behaviour (tweets) that preceded and influenced the financial data. Selected tweets could be paired thanks to the projections of their timing on the regression line that had been created over the prices. Our model exhibits inaccuracies only in the order of the days. That is surprising, as pump schemes do not usually require such a high level of long-term deterministic timing.
Effectiveness of Personality Education Adapting Podcast in University: Focused on liberal arts education curriculum
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Won Eun Sok
Published: June 2022

This study conducted model classes for 13 weeks to examine the effectiveness of the Personality Education Adapting Podcast as a teaching material in university liberal arts education curriculum. Based on teaching and learning methods, Flipped Learning and Task based Learning, the course was planned as following two stages. The first stage was listening to podcast contents and reading texts related to the main topic of the podcast as an assignment before the class; and second stage was participating in discussion and in-depth activities focusing on the topic during class. By implementing Factor Analysis on the opinions from 122 respondents collected through surveys taken twice at pre and post class, four main factors were extracted; [satisfaction with the class], [recognition of personality], [satisfaction with my personality], and [recognition of effectiveness of the podcast]. The impression essays were analyzed by applying Delphi method and repeating the process of categorization and keyword extraction through continuous discussion among three experts. Comparing the results from pre and post class surveys by taking Paired Sample t-Test, [satisfaction with the class] factor increased from 3.93 before class to 4.38 after class, and [recognition of personality] factor rose about 0.49, from 4.09 before class to 4.58 after class. [Satisfaction with my personality] factor increased about 0.66 from 3.45 before class to 4.11 after class and the last factor, [recognition of effectiveness of podcast] improved about 0.68 from 3.21 before class to 3.89 after class. Moreover, as keywords and frequency of keyword usage elicited from analyzing impression essays supported the results from quantitative data analysis, it was possible to verify effectiveness of the class with various dimensions. It is hoped that the results of this study will contribute to production and design of educational digital contents dealing with personality education and to the research on personality education utilizing digital contents in university.
A study on the meaning of Okja in Bong Joon-ho's films
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Kang Seung Ryul
Published: June 2022

This paper started with a simple question of why there were not many discussions about Okja among Bong Joon-ho's films. To solve this problem, I first analyzed what unique characteristics Okja has among Bong's films, and then what Okja has in common with them. When analyzed from the perspective of his films, Okja has the following points in common with his other films: it has a story of searching for something, a strong and caring female image, an alternative family in the end, and a representation of not only capital/class but an unequal world/violent structure, which Bong has consistently represented. In addition, it seems that it has many similarities in terms of various settings and scenes when compared with The Host. But it is clear that Okja is a unique movie compared with Bong's other films: it has a happy ending, a young girl as the main character, strong cartoon elements, and a strong allegory tendency. Although Okja is a unique movie in Bong's filmography, it does not prove to be a completely new practice in film. It is, nevertheless, enough to say that Okja fulfills Bong Joon-ho's style in several ways.
Philosophy of the Other in Virginia Woolf’s Novels
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Noh Young Shin
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this paper is to throw new light on the novels of Virginia Woolf, whose fictions explore aesthetic, political, ethical, and epistemological concerns from the post-structuralist perspective. In Jacob’s Room(1922), Mrs. Dalloway(1925), and To the Lighthouse(1927), Woolf concerns herself with the issue of how another person can be understood and known. Emerging from the Great War crisis of faith in the possibility of truthful understanding and complete knowledge, a sense of unknowability shapes and saturates Woolf’s fictions. Such a failure of communication is a familiar characteristic of modernist works. However, I argue that Woolf’s novels emphasize the idea of reading such gaps as the encounter with alterity that defines the ethics of modernism. Emmanuel Levinas’s ethics based on responsibility for the absolute other enables a more complex understanding of Woolf’s experimental fictions. Reading her novels in dialogue with Levinas helps to clarify Woolf’s philosophy of the other.
Sharing of Memories and Experience of a Place in 『Cheonggye Stream』
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Yu Ri
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is to analyze how Korean writers abroad restore their hometown experiences and memories through their works and the process of sharing memories between writers and readers by focusing on Kim Min-jung's Cheonggye Stream. To this end, I analyzed studies of Korean literature overseas and the meaning of memory in literature. Based on this, the works are analyzed in detail, focusing on sharing place experiences and memories revealed in the works. Cheonggye Stream is a work of a firstgeneration Korean immigrant writer, and as the title suggests, it was created based on memories of the writer's hometown and home country. In this work, memories are embodied through the writer's experience and hometown space. In addition, personal experiences and historical events are narrated to restore memories of hometown and home country spaces. In this process, the writer communicates with the readers of Korea through the work, and the experience and memory of the writer and the reader are exchanged. Analyzing the experience and memories of Korean writers abroad has significance in that they can have a sense of solidarity with Koreans.
A Study on the Characterization of the Daejeon Film Industry: Focusing on Studio Cube and VFX Cluster
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Lee Aramchan
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is to identify the direction of the Daejeon film industry. In particular, the specialization of the Daejeon film industry is setting a major direction with the convergence of Studio Cube and the VFX (Visual Effects) Cluster. The combination of the revitalization of the existing Studio Cube and the ongoing VFX Cluster is an important factor in the development of the Daejeon film industry. It is necessary to build a film industry convergence content cluster that connects Studio Cube. The film industry, encompassing films, broadcasting, and content, has maintained clusters from an early age. Clusters within a certain area maximize synergy in production and distribution, such as through sharing know-how, sharing equipment, and joint marketing, and also enable the exchange of professional manpower and knowledge. The Daejeon film industry cannot achieve such goals with a production and support system alone. These can be achieved through the active movement of various film culture and the active participation of local governments. Along with the development of the film industry, a policy to spread film culture to the public is necessary.
Effect of a therapeutic reading program for inner child growth on the improvement of interpersonal relationships among college students
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Seo Gi Ja
Published: June 2022

This study is about the effect of a therapeutic reading program for inner child growth on the improvement of interpersonal relationships among college students. In this study, based on the healing properties of a book, a program was implemented for college students who had difficulties in interpersonal relationships due to their inner child. The participants consisted of students attending the researcher's lectures, and although they were adults, they still had childlike tendencies and difficulties in forming close relationships because of their inner child, prompting them to act immature. Accordingly, the program was designed to develop the participants’ inner child so that they can lead a confident college life by improving interpersonal relationships and restoring self-confidence. The program consisted of four steps: facing the inner child, feeling the inner child’s feelings and needs, reconciling with the inner child, and growing into a new child. Following participation in this program, participants returned to their developmental stage, recreated and empathized with the painful emotions of that time, and experienced themselves as adults as new caretakers, caring for the child and satisfying the child's needs. As a result, it was possible to read changes in interpersonal relationships before and after the program via quantitative and qualitative analysis. In a questionnaire given before and after the program, the score difference was statistically significant, and it was confirmed that the participants’ inner child had grown into a new shape that could be reconciled and loved. Therefore, it can be seen that the therapeutic reading program for inner child growth has a positive effect on improving interpersonal relationships among college students.

Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Yang Daeseung , Kim Jinsoo
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study was to analyze the national technology curriculum and textbooks commonly applied to all school levels and grades of elementary and secondary schools in France. To this end, a literature research method was chosen to analyze related data focusing on the contents of the technology curriculum and textbooks revised in France in 2015. As a result of the study, it was found that the first characteristic of the French curriculum is that it is managed in a dual way not only by the school level of elementary, middle, and high school, but also by a separate learning cycle. Second, it was revealed that the purpose and nature of the learning contents of the technology curriculum for each learning cycle and the learning content system were quite different. Through this analysis of the French technology curriculum, we suggest implications for the future direction of Korea's technological education system.
The World Health Organization in a Post-COVID-19 Era: An Exploration of Public Engagement on Twitter
Authors: Warin Thierry
Published: June 2022

This article analyses the conversations on Twitter related to the World Health Organization (WHO). We collect the text of the discussions as well as the metadata associated with each tweet. Our dataset is exhaustive as it includes all the tweets produced by WHO. Likes, retweets, and replies capture the level of engagement. The goal is to quantify the balance of likes, retweets, and replies, also known as “ratios”, and study their dynamics as proxy for the collective engagement in response to WHO’s communications. Our results demonstrate a higher engagement of the public receiving the information pushed by WHO. This engagement translates into a more balanced reaction with still a more likely favorable opinion vis-à-vis WHO, but with also more challenges. This protocol based on quantitative measures to serve as a proxy to the legitimacy concept seems to hold its promises. In particular, we also perform a simple sentiment analysis to check the robustness of our conclusions.

TÓM TẮTMục tiêu nghiên cứu: Xác định tần suất dạng giải phẫu thường gặp và các dạng biến thể của hệ động mạch gan (ĐMG), hệ tĩnh mạch cửa (TMC) và hệ tĩnh mạch gan (TMG) trên x quang cắt lớp vi tính (XQCLVT). Bên cạnh đó, chúng tôi cũng tìm mối tương quan giữa các dạng biến thể mạch máu gan.

Phương pháp: Nghiên cứu hồi cứu, cắt ngang mô tả. Dân số chọn mẫu bao gồm các bệnh nhân đến khám bệnh tại bệnh viện Đại học Y Dược (BV ĐHYD) tpHCM, được chụp XQCLVT vùng bụng có tiêm thuốc tương phản thỏa tiêu chuẩn chọn mẫu. Từ hình chụp XQCLVT lưu trên hệ thống PACS của bệnh viện, sử dụng các phần mềm xử lý hình ảnh để dựng hình hệ ĐMG, TMC và TMG nhằm xác định tỉ lệ các dạng biến thể giải phẫu của hệ mạch máu ganKết quả: Từ tháng 08/2017 đến tháng 08/2018 tại BV ĐHYD TpHCM, 611 trường hợp bệnh nhân (BN) được đưa vào mẫu nghiên cứu. Kết quả ở hệ ĐMG tìm thấy 92,3% trường hợp ĐMG có nguyên ủy từ động mạch thân tạng, xác định được 9 trong 10 dạng giải phẫu theo phân loại Michels trong đó dạng giải phẫu phổ biến nhất (dạng 1) chiếm tỉ lệ 73,6%, ngoài ra ghi nhận thêm 5 nhóm biến thể giải phẫu nằm ngoài bảng phân loại Michels (chiếm 3,1%). Đối với hệ TMC tính được tỉ lệ nhóm giải phẫu bình thường là 84,1%, tìm thấy đủ 4 nhóm biến thể theo mô tả các nghiên cứu trước 1,2 với tỉ lệ lần lượt theo thứ tự từ nhóm 2 tới nhóm 5 là 11,3%, 1,2%, 1,6% và 1,8%. Khảo sát hệ TMG ghi nhận 58,6% đối tượng nghiên cứu có thân chung của TMG trái và TMG giữa, cũng xác định được 45,5% các trường hợp có từ một tới nhiều nhánh TMG phải phụ đổ trực tiếp vào tĩnh mạch chủ dưới. Chúng tôi không tìm thấy mối tương quan giữa các dạng biến thể của mạch máu gan.Kết luận: Giải phẫu mạch máu gan đóng vai trò quan trọng trong các phẫu thuật cắt gan, cắt khối tá tụy và ghép gan. Do tần suất các biến thể của mạch máu gan khá cao, kiến thức về giải phẫu là rất cần thiết đối với các phẫu thuật viên cũng như các bác sĩ chẩn đoán hình ảnh.

Validation of the Results of Linking Speaking Test of IELTS to China’s Standards of English Language Ability
Authors: Chen Yuyue , Wu Xuefeng
Published: June 2022

This study, taking into consideration of teachers’ as well as students’ judgments, explored the generalizability and consistency of the results of linking speaking test of IELTS to China’s Standards of English Language Ability (CSE). Nine college English teachers and 81 undergraduate students judged the degree of congruence between the IELTS speaking test and 72 relevant CSE descriptors to generate evidence of generalizability; 2 teachers judged the CSE levels of 11 videos of IELTS speaking test and 113 students assessed themselves based on the self-assessment scale, to provide data for exploring consistency from three perspectives: consistency of teachers’ judgments, consistency between teachers’ judgments and empirical scores, and consistency between students’ actual ability and the ability demonstrated in the self-assessment scale. The evidence showed that the linking results performed well both in generalizability and consistency from the perspective of both teachers and students, but students rated comparatively low than teachers both in the two facets. However, considering that certain descriptors are relatively abstract and separate from daily life situations in IELTS speaking test, it is understandable that students rate low in generalizability; and considering students' insufficient self-assessment ability, their relative low recognition in consistency also get explained. In general, therefore, the linking results show good generalizability and consistency.

Authors: Latif Rohaida Abdul , Mohd Kamarun Nisham Taufil , Kamardin Hasnah
Published: June 2022

This study aims to examine whether risk disclosure practices and corporate governance mechanisms are associated with the performance of listed companies in Malaysia’s emerging economy. The study uses fixed effects panel data regression models to gauge the relationship using 899 firm-year observations from companies that provide risk disclosures in their annual reports. The findings show that risk disclosure has a significant effect on firm performance. Audit committee monitoring also has a significant relationship with firm performance, while the results regarding the existence of a risk management committee are insignificant. In additional analyses, a composite measure of audit committee effectiveness confirms that its monitoring role improves firm performance significantly. This study addresses risk disclosure practices in an under-researched setting (Malaysia) with different corporate governance models and emerging risk reporting legislation, thus adding to the limited body of knowledge on corporate risk disclosure and corporate monitoring and their impact on firm performance.
The Day-of-the-Week Effect: Does Ownership Matter?
Authors: Khasawneh Ohoud Abdel Hafiez
Published: June 2022

The aim of this study is to determine the main player behind the existence of the day-of-the-week effect on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) by analyzing the trading patterns for investors using the EGARCH model. The sample comprised all companies trading in the financial sector during the period from January 2, 2008, to December 31, 2019. The results show that Jordanian investors are the main players behind the existence of this phenomenon. In contrast, foreign investors do not enhance the existence of this phenomenon. What is striking in the results is that Jordanian institutional investors are the main source of instability in the ASE. Instability in the market has prompted individual investors to imitate institutional investors. This means that traders make the most of their investment decisions based on imitating others, not on weighing the risks and returns, and this reflects a high risk in dealing with the ASE in particular.

Maktrelationer mellan män genom ålder. Status, auktoritet och marginalitet inom närpolisen
Authors: Andersson Susanne
Published: June 2022

In this text a "doing gender" perspective is used when analysing ordering practices in relation to how gender and age is done in two community police organisations. Parallel with the construction of a gender order, an order of seniority is done and the two orders are intertwined which give rice to variations between men, and between women and men. Seniority is linked to age, a physiological fact, but how people understand and interpret age is a social construction. The social constructions of seniority in relation to age is made relevant and irrelevant depending on the context and in some contexts seniority can be used as a resource that gives privileges, responsibilities and authority. The effects of ordering practices in the two studied community police organisations are differentiations between young, middle-aged and old men in relation to status, authority and marginality. The nightly patrolling in cars, generally performed by young men, is seen as "real" police work and a way of working that is emphasized by all organisational members. This is mainly a discursive construction that is intertwined with the notion of a hegemonic masculinity, which at the same time is a construction of a youth masculinity. The middleaged men hold positions and are authorities and they do the planning of the police work. Their authority is sustained by the order of seniority. A division of labour occur between the young men and the middle-aged men, where the latter are planning the police work and the former perform it. Performing "real" police work at night give the young men status, but not authority. Seniority can't bee used forever. For the oldest men the length of service in the police force has ceased to be a primary asset in relation to younger police officers. Compared to the young and middleaged men, the oldest men are marginalized. This marginalization is both a matter of competence and space.
Bronchial Asthma in Obesity—A Distinct Phenotype of Asthma?
Authors: Ziora Dariusz , Sitek Piotr , Machura Edyta , Ziora Katarzyna
Published: June 2022

Asthma and obesity have a considerable impact on public health and their prevalence has increased in recent years. Numerous large cross-sectional and prospective studies performed in adults, adolescents, and children throughout the world supports the hypothesis that obesity is an independent risk factor for asthma. The pathogenetic basis for asthma and obesity associations in humans is not well established. Obesity is capable of reducing pulmonary compliance, lung volumes, and the diameter of peripheral respiratory airways, and may influence on airway hyperresponsiveness. The increase of adipose tissue in obese subjects leads to a systemic inflammatory state, which produces a rise in the serum concentrations of several pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and adipokines. The proinflammatory adipokines (leptin, resistin) and anti- inflammatory (adiponectin) may be causally associated with asthma, however human studies are inconclusive. Obese asthma patients very often demonstrate increased asthma severity and relative corticosteroid resistance. Some studies suggest improvements in the disease with weight loss in obese asthma patients. Recently published data suggest that obese asthma patients may represent a distinct phenotype of asthma.

Introduction: D-dimer testing is an established method in diagnostics of suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). However, in hospitalized patients, increased D-dimer concentration may be caused by comorbidities, which limits the applicability of this test in PE diagnostics. According to published data, calculating the index D-dimer/fibrinogen ratio can increase specificity of D-dimer testing in diagnostics of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of the present study was: (1) to determine the frequency of normal D-dimer concentration in hospitalized patients with lung diseases in whom the differential diagnostics of PE can be particularly difficult; and (2) to evaluate the utility of D-dimer/fibrinogen ratio in subgroups of patients with acute VTE or with lung cancer. Materials and methods: The study group included 619 consecutive patients aged 54.9 (±15.4) years, hospitalized in a pulmonology reference centre. Among them there were 96 (15%) patients with acute VTE, 65 (10%) with exacerbation of COPD, and 172 (27%) with lung cancer. Results: Mean D-dimer concentration (Vidas D-dimer New) was 1956 ± 3691 ng/mL and median value was 842 (45–35,678) ng//mL. Normal D-dimer concentration (<500 ng/mL) was found in 225/523 (43%) patients without acute VTE. In 49% (32/65) patients with COPD and in 25% (43/172) patients with lung cancer, D-dimer concentration was below 500 ng/ml. Ddimer/ fibrinogen ratio was significantly higher in acute VTE patients compared to lung cancer patients (808 ± 688 and 289 ± 260, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Normal D-dimer concentration was found in more than 40% of patients with lung diseases hospitalized in the reference pulmonology centre. This observation can suggest a better utility of D-dimer measurement for PE exclusion in such a population than that seen in previously published reports. D-dimer/fibrinogen ratio is significantly higher in acute VTE than in lung cancer, but the clinical value of this test requires further evaluation.
