Published: July 2023

Introduction. Pain perception varies due to many factors. Quantitative sensory testing is a panel of diagnostic tests used to assess somatosensory function. The aim of the study was to determine how psychophysical variables are related to the perceived pain intensity in patients with chronic pain. Material and Methods. The cross-sectional study included 88 subjects (average age 51.3 ? 9.4 years, 76 (86.4%) women) diagnosed with chronic pain syndrome and fibromyalgia or chronic neuropathic pain associated with lumbosacral radiculopathy. Current and average pain intensities in the past 4 weeks were rated on a numerical rating scale. Quantitative sensory testing included pressure pain thresholds, heat pain thresholds, and cold pain thresholds. Patients filled out the Fear Avoidance Component Scale, a questionnaire that examines the fear avoidance phenomenon. Results. The highest correlations were found between the Fear Avoidance Component Scale scores and current and average pain intensity (r = 0.438 and r = 0.253, respectively); between pain duration and current and average pain intensity in the past 4 weeks (r = 0.340 and r = 0.308, respectively). Moderate and negative correlations were found between pressure pain thresholds and current and average pain intensity (r = - 0.233 and r = -0.300, respectively). Conclusion. Low to moderate, significant positive correlations were found between fear-avoidance and pain intensity. Significant but low negative correlations were found between pressure pain threshold and current pain intensity, as well as between pressure pain threshold and average pain intensity.

Published: July 2023

Today no one may be hesitant to talk about climate change because we are feeling its effects on health. In this article, you will find basic information about the subject, what it is, what causes it, and what we can do about it. But you don’t need to be an expert on climate to talk about the risks climate change poses to human health, or the health benefits of taking action against these changes. When the subject is a climate change, we often hear specialist no knowledge in fact about subject. People often talk about climate change with too much emotion and without paying attention to the facts that are driving those climate changes. At one moment they talk about people and animals dying for lack of water or food, at another moment, they point to the negative effects on people's health. This article points out some causes of the effects of these changes on people. One of the causes is the lack of water and the reduction of food supply. Another cause is heat wave with temperature reaching a record of 49 degrees Celsius in several cities, with an effect on people's regular work, breathing difficulties and water shortage. This article is based on exploratory research to get to know the topic in more depth and establish an opening for future research. The technique for obtaining information is a bibliographical one that points out the facts that generate the impacts of climate change on the lives of people and animals, aiming to stimulate understanding and discussion about the problem. The first results of this research indicate that the problems generated by climate change in the health of people and animals are the reduction in food production, for example: the production of wheat in India; death of people in Pakistan, Spain, India due to temperatures of 49 degrees Celsius and, finally, the lack of water in Somalia and other regions.

The theory of continental drift was published as early as 1912, but the mechanism and energy source of this motion has not yet been elucidated. In many cases, the generally accepted model of convection currents in the mantle contradicts observations such as the spreading of the ocean floor, the extension of rifts from triple points to all sides, the more or less unilateral movement of the lithosphere relative to the mantle, and others. In the first part of the double article, the evolution of views on this issue is shown, as well as measured data that document the important role of extraterrestrial energy sources for the movement of lithospheric plates in daily, annual and long-term climate cycles. In the second part of the two-part article, the entire theory of the mechanism of lithospheric plate motion will be outlined, based on the accumulation of incoming energy from the Sun in crustal rocks, the ratcheting mechanism, and the thermoelastic wave penetrating from the Earth's surface through the entire crust.

Understanding the source mechanisms of induced earthquakes is important to distinguish them from natural earthquakes. The main objective of our study consists in finding out which parameters of the source mechanism can be used most effectively to identify the induced earthquakes. A possibility is also being explored whether they can be retrieved from data of a limited number of stations or even just one. We calculate versions of the seismic moment tensor and the corresponding focal mechanisms of the induced event of 2015-06-13 (t0=23:57:53.00 UTC, φ=54.233˚N, λ=-116.627˚E, hs=4 km, ML4.4) near Fox Creek, Alberta, Canada, by inversion of only direct waves recorded at one, two, three and seven stations. The versions turned out to be practically identical, which indicates the advantage of using only direct waves and the very possibility of determining the focal mechanism from the records at the limited number of seismic stations, which may be especially valuable in areas with a sparse seismic network. The versions also turned out to be very similar to the one obtained in [Wang, 2018], which can be considered an additional proof of the reliability of our method. The source time function of the Alberta event had a longer duration (~4 s) than is typical for tectonic earthquakes of similar size. We assume that this very feature may be specific to induced earthquakes and used in combination with others to distinguish them from tectonic earthquakes.

Exploration of unconventional gas resources in Ukraine is highly relevant and important for achievement energy independence of Ukraine and Europe. Production of current oil & gas fields and alternative energy resources are not able to cover our needs nowadays. Now we can not fully fill these gaps by energy resources. In this article geological environments, age, mineralogy composition and maturity of unconventional shale and carbonate gas reservoirs of Lower Visean in one of the biggest field of Dnipro-Donets Basin (DDB) were studied. The hydrocarbon potential of two main target horizons V-23 and V-24-25 by using integrated approach of analyzing available core analysis data were performed. The results of the geochemical analysis show that the maturity level of shale of the Rudov beds (V-23) appear in oil window (Ro~0.8%) which can generate oil in the early mature phase. Visean carbonates (V-24-25) have the similar level of maturity - (Ro~0.77%). Target rocks are characterized by high total organic content (TOC): average values vary from 2% for organic-rich carbonates to 5.6% for shales which indicates relatively good to excellent source rock generative potential. According to X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD) of black shale formation domination of silica minerals (54.6%), calcite and clays (25.6%) with minor amounts of albite, feldspar and pyrite were observed. Carbonate platform V-24-25 logically is characterized by much higher calcite content of 52.2 % with low amount of dolomite – 5.5%. Quite high quartz content is also observed – average value is of about 30.7%. Clay minerals are not identified in every sample, but average values are of about 18.9%, pyrite content – 6.8%. It shows that Visean target formation of Glynsko-Solohivsky Petroleum region is characterized by anoxic environment. This data verified that V-23 and V-24-25 horizons are the brittle formations and favorable for multistage fracking. Thin section analysis confirms our results from mineralogical point of view. The presence of fractures in core samples is additional indicator for hydraulic fracturing and producing gas from such unconventional reservoirs. As a conclusion, the Lower Visean organic-rich formations V-23 and V-24-25 from Glynsko-Solohivsky Petroleum region are mature, are characterized by a high content of organic carbon, have enough thickness (30-120 m) and large areal extent. They should be regarded as a potential shale gas target.

Mathematical models of dynamics of vessels equipped with power propellers
Authors: Oskin Dmitry Aleksandrovich , Bocharova Viktoriya Valerievna , Osipov Sergei Vladimirovich
Published: July 2023

The article provides a review and analysis of mathematical models of the movement of a vessel, which is controlled by one or two rudder propellers, and the main tasks that are solved using these models. It has been pointed out that there are a sufficient number of mathematical models that describe the movement of a vessel equipped with a classical control scheme of propulsion: rudder - screw propeller. Such models are not applicable to the type of vessel under consideration. Since the ship is represented as a dynamic system with six degrees of freedom, which is affected by complex changing external conditions (wind, waves, etc.), then the ship’s control systems mainly use non-linear models, the construction of which, as well as their use is very difficult, due to their complexity and the small number of studies. To simplify the solution of problems related to the control of the vessel, it is promising to consider the movement of the vessel as plane-parallel. Thus, partial linearization of the model can be achieved by breaking the motion into two components: progressive and rotary motion, as well as using linear models for each part.
Autonomous vehicle fleet system models for virtual tests in organizing maintenance
Authors: Volkhonskaya Elizaveta   Evgenievna , Orlov Sergey Pavlovich
Published: July 2023

The article considers the problem of managing a fleet of agricultural autonomous vehicles (AV) and unmanned combine harvesters. The maintenance system of such a fleet should ensure the implementation of various strategies for the operation, maintenance, and repair of vehicles. To minimize costs and reduce design time, virtual tests based on digital twins in the form of mathematical and simulation models are widely used. A set of system models used in the virtual testing of AV at the stage of virtual commissioning is proposed. The complex includes two optimization models and a simulation model of the agrotechnical production-logistics system. The problem of finding the optimal calendar network schedule for agrotechnical work and the problem of assigning AV to production work are formulated and solved. The simulation model is designed as a stochastic timed colored Petri net. The structure of the hierarchical simulation model is given and the maintenance model based on the Petri net is described. Virtual tests are carried out as a statistical experiment on a simulation model. There is given an example of the resulting graphs of the AV operating rate, which allows determining the periods between preventive maintenance. The choice of the apparatus of stochastic colored Petri nets as the basis of simulation models is due to the convenience and possibilities of setting probabilistic laws for production processes and the processes of AV units’ degradation and deterioration. A formal description of AV in the form of multisets with components corresponding to time characteristics and cost parameters is proposed. Conducting virtual tests on the developed models makes it possible to formulate requirements and recommendations for organizing the operation and maintenance of AV.

An ideal family consist of father, mother and child. This concept was deeply embedded society. Based on the stereotype, many married couples followed or made pregnancy programme soon after getting married, Howefer, times passed and development is inevitable. Nowadays, a family with child is not the only concept for marriage. Some couples started to have a childfree. It is a family without biological child. This phenomenon comes as polemic especially for moslems. As we know, in Islam a couple married is suggested to have children as descendants. Furthermore, having many children is considered as Sunnah to follow Rasulullah SAW. This research will be conducted using descriptive qualitative method viewed thought subjective approach by  imam Al-Ghazali. Based on perspective of imam Al-Ghazali, childfree may be done in certain condition, for example to reduce mafsadat in marriage life in ‘azl way.

Authors: Senaputra Mas Aditya , Sidharta B. Rina A. , Wardhani Lusi Oka
Published: July 2023

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection causes inflammation of the liver, which has a high prevalence in both Indonesia and the world. Serum HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is important in determining the initiation therapy for Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) patients. However, it has several limitations. Precore protein 22 kilodalton (p22cr) is synthesized from the HBV gene in hepatocytes, representing covalently closed circle (ccc) DNA. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic performance of p22cr levels on HBV DNA in CHB patients. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 83 CHB patients who were examined at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of Dr. Moewardi General Academic Hospital in December 2020. Blood plasma samples were taken for HBV DNA and p22cr examination by using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), respectively. The cut-off level of p22cr was determined by the Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) with the widest area Under the Curve (AUC). Sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), Negative Predictive Value (NPV), Positive Likelihood Ratio (PLR), Negative Likelihood Ratio (NLR), and accuracy were calculated for the diagnostic performance of p22cr. The cut-off point of p22cr on HBV DNA > 20,000 IU/mL was 7.440 ng/mL with AUC 0.693 (p=0.003). The diagnostic performance of p22cr levels on HBV DNA obtained 44.44% sensitivity, 82.98% specificity, 66.67% PPV, 66.10% NPV, 2.61 PLR, 0.67 NLR, and 66.27% accuracy. P22cr level has a good specificity so it can be an alternative examination of HBV DNA in making decisions on therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Further research needs to be done using HBcrAg and excluding elderly patients.

Published: July 2023

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic inflammatory autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent joint inflammation leading to cartilage and bone damage, disability, and systemic complications. The levels of APR such as SAA serum increase during synovitis. Previous studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effect of M.oleifera leaf extract in the treatment of RA in animals; however, research data on humans remain limited. An experimental study on pre- and post-treatment of 40 RA patients was carried out by dividing subjects into 2 groups, including a standard therapy group and a standard therapy group added with M.oleifera leaf extract. The research was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta from October 2020 to January 2021. The SAA levels were measured using ELISA. Paired T-test was used to analyze the differences in mean SAA levels before and after treatment. There was a significant difference between pre-treatment (346.57±54.40 ng/mL) and post-treatment (314.77±37.40 ng/mL) SAA levels in the standard therapy group added with M.oleifera leaf extract with p=0.01. Pre-treatment and post-treatment SAA levels in the standard therapy group were 322.68±87.01 ng/mL and 302.93±86.51 ng/mL, respectively with p=0.04. The mean of delta SAA in the standard therapy group added with M.oleifera leaf extract (-31.81±4.04 ng/mL) was greater than delta SAA in the standard therapy group (-19.75±4.07 ng/mL) with p=0.26. There was a significant decrease in SAA levels in RA patients on standard therapy and M. oleifera leaf extract.
Hematology Reference Values in Indonesian Children
Authors: Timan Ina S. , Aryati Aryati
Published: July 2023

Every clinical laboratory has to establish its reference ranges for every parameter analyzed. These reference values are intervals considered normal in a healthy person's physiological condition. It will be used by the clinician or other health professionals to interpret the laboratory test results of the patient for making diagnostic decisions, monitoring patient therapy, and predicting the prognosis and it is also used in epidemiology studies. A reference range is defined as an interval in which 95% of a reference population’s values fall. It is very crucial to establish reference intervals for the local population as it is sometimes affected by ethnicity, nutrition, food habits, and  economic and other local conditions. Hematology is the most common test performed in a clinical laboratory, and the most used parameter by the clinician including pediatricians. There up to now no well-established reference interval for hematological parameters in pediatrics and children in Indonesia. The reference interval used for hematology parameters in Indonesia is based on reference intervals from other countries or the manufacturer of the hematology analyzers used in a particular laboratory. Establishing a population-specific hematology reference interval is very difficult for pediatrics and children, so it is rarely performed. This study aims to compile the results of hematology parameters from Indonesian children to establish an Indonesian reference value for hematology. The method used was compiling data for the hematology parameter intervals based on studies performed in the Indonesian population and presented as 95% confidence intervals. A pediatric reference range for several hematology parameters has been established based on 3 groups of age in Indonesian children.

Published: July 2023

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by the reduced ability of insulin responses, leading to difficulty in processing blood sugar. It is caused by a combination of two main factors: damaged insulin secretion by pancreatic beta-cells and the inability of insulin-sensitive tissues to respond to insulin. Blood sugar monitoring in T2DM is done by measuring glycated hemoglobin or Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Insulin Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is the primary mediator of growth hormone known to play a pivotal biological role in growth and metabolism. This study aims to analyze the relationship between HbA1c levels and serum IGF-1 levels in T2DM patients. The method used was observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. There were 60 T2DM patients involved as research subjects consisting of 26 males and 34 females. HbA1c examination was carried out using the Boronete Affinity Assay, while IGF-1 examination was performed using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) sandwich method. The statistical analysis results showed that the average value and standard deviation of serum IGF-1 levels in controlled T2DM was higher (5740.23±4320.60 pg/mL) than that of uncontrolled T2DM (4843.18±3375.63 pg/mL), showed no significant difference (p=0.462) and no correlation between HbA1c and serum IGF-1 levels in T2DM subjects (r=-0.005 p=0.972). It was concluded that there was no significant relationship between HbA1c levels and serum IGF-1 levels in patients with T2DM.

En la perspectiva de la gestión integral del agua, el manejo de recursos de uso común y la sustentabilidad de los sistemas de riego, el presente trabajo analiza el diseño y funcionamiento de los módulos de riego del Distrito de Riego 061 Zamora (DR 061) y muestra aportes no considerados de los usuarios del riego en el mantenimiento de los sistemas. El diseño y funcionamiento organizativo se analizó en sus dimensiones de gobierno, administración y operación. Las aportaciones de los usuarios y ejidos se determinaron con base en una muestra de cuatro canales donde se identificaron las tareas que realizan los módulos y los usuarios para el acceso al agua y el mantenimiento. Los resultados muestran que existe un manejo centralizado burocrático en las tareas de distribución del agua y mantenimiento de la red principal, reelección permanente de autoridades de los módulos, diseño de cuotas de riego no consensuadas con los usuarios, morosidad en la recuperación de cuotas y falta de transparencia en la rendición de cuentas. Se calculó que las aportaciones de los usuarios superan trece veces lo invertido por los módulos, pero sus aportes no son considerados para la participación directa en la toma de decisiones y en el gobierno y la administración de los módulos, lo cual muestra limitaciones y deficiencias en el diseño organizativo por módulos que debilitan la autogestión y sostenibilidad de estas organizaciones.

Published: July 2023

Background. A number of studies have associated aggravation of cognitive impairment, anxiety and depression in pregnant women with anesthesia. In addition, obesity during pregnancy itself is associated with an increased risk of developing these complications.

The objective was to study the effect of obesity on cognitive function, anxiety and depression in pregnant women during regional anesthesia.

Materials and methods. The study included 70 pregnant women who were admitted for planned delivery. Patients were divided into two groups: obese pregnant women (BMI≥ 30) (n = 35) and pregnant women with normal weight (BMI < 30) (n = 35). All patients underwent surgery under spinal anesthesia. The indicators of cognitive function, anxiety, and depression were evaluated using specially selected tests before surgery and on the third day of the postoperative period.

Results. The development of obesity during pregnancy was accompanied by an impairment of cognitive functions. After surgery, in the BMI≥ 30 group, cognitive function according to the MOS test decreased from 25.1 (25.9; 24.2) to 24.3 (25.2; 23.4) points (p = 0.004), and in the BMI < 30 group, there were no statistical differences – 26.3 (27.1; 25,5) and 25.6 (26.5; 24.7) points (p = 0.071). In addition, the baseline indicators of anxiety and depression in obese pregnant women were higher in comparison with pregnant women with normal weight (p < 0.001). Performing a cesarean section under spinal anesthesia in all patients led to a decrease in anxiety and an increase in depression in the BMI≥ 30 group from 7.2 (8.1; 6.7) to 6.9 (7.5; 6.3) points (p = 0.004), and in the BMI < 30 group – from 6.5 (6.8; 6.2) to 6.1 (6.5; 5.7) points (p = 0.038).

Conclusion. The presence of obesity during pregnancy was revealed in combination with impairment of cognitive functions even before surgery, after delivery under spinal anesthesia, cognitive dysfunction increased.
The History of Human Communication: How Did Humans Build Language and Become World Leaders
Authors: Morissan Morissan
Published: July 2023

The study of human communication history is currently very limited and even if there is, it is still limited to the discussion of the history of mass media such as newspapers, radio, and television, which began to appear at the end of the 19th century. There is no communication study that discusses how humans (Homo sapien) first, tens of thousands of years ago, communicated as humans. How did Sapiens create a language that distinguished him from animals? How did prehistoric humans use language to build group communication so that they became effective hunters and gatherers? This article aims to show how the sciences of history and biology have played a major role in building our understanding of the beginnings of human communication as a foundation for understanding communication itself. Research method used is the qualitative approach where it utilizes a review of the relevant academic publication to provide a comprehensive explanation of the raised     questions. To conduct the review, an extensive and integrative search of articles published in major organizational academic research was performed. The integrative approach to systematic literature review used in this article differs from meta-analysis in that it does not utilize econometric and statistical procedures for data synthesis and analysis.The results show, based on previous studies, that Sapiens first communicated as humans when they were able to create abstract objects, which are things that simply don't exist in this world. Sapien is a leader over other animals because of this ability. Effective group communication builds on Sapien's pleasure in gossip. Ultimately, the ability to construct fiction and myth allowed Sapien to build organizations, nations, and even empires.

Published: July 2023

En la rata el juego social es una respuesta innata, necesaria para promover el desarrollo de habilidades motrices, el rango social y el aprendizaje de respuestas esenciales para sobrevivir. Asimismo, el desarrollo del juego es un proceso complejo donde los protagonistas son expuestos a múltiples influencias sensoriales, y estresores ambientales incluyendo entre otros al aislamiento materno breve y el aporte de alimento. Tanto la malnutrición como la desnutrición perinatal afectan el desarrollo cerebral y sus funciones, al reducir el número de neuronas, depósito de mielina, número de dendritas y los contactos sinápticos en diversas estructuras corticales y sub-corticales que participan en la integración del juego social. En esta revisión se analiza el impacto de diferentes modelos experimentales de restricción de alimento, y cómo el deficiente desarrollo sensorial asociado en diferentes áreas cerebrales pudiera impactar la transmisión, codificación de señales e integración de la actividad neuronal involucrada en el procesado del juego juvenil. Los hallazgos revisados pudieran ser relevantes para la comprensión de las alteraciones en el desarrollo del juego social, dependiente del trastorno sensorial causado por la restricción temprana de alimento. Estas alteraciones interfieren con mecanismos relacionados con la obtención de habilidades motoras, experiencia temprana y la cognición que pueden reconocerse durante la juventud y la adultez.

Fish by-products contain a large amount of nutritious proteins. However, nowadays in the fish processing industry, they are often seen as a source of waste to be disposed of. In this study, Bacillus sp. was used to convert fish by-products into protein hydrolysates intended for serving as a liquid organic fertilizer for crops. The fermentation medium was mixed to include one gram of ground fish by-products and four grams of cane molasses per three milliliters of water; the bacteria inoculum was approximately 1.1 × 109 CFU/ml at pH 7.0; the bacterial culture was shaken at 130 rpm at room temperature. After 36 hours of fermentation, analysis of the final hydrolysate showed that: (i) the degree of protein hydrolysis was 71.6%; (ii) NPK was about 0.38:0.15:0.06; (iii) pH was 6.41;(iv) total amino acids was 0.52 g/100 g solution; (v) phytotoxicity was low and (vi) at a 600-fold dilution, the hydrolysates showed an improvement in leaf width and length on 40-day-old mustard greens [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern].
