Authors: Aditya Bayu Rima , Jannah Fathul , Nurhas Irawan
Published: July 2022

The study aims to investigate the potential of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) model for improving the learning engagement of elementary students in Indonesia. Although the work in this area is extensive, little is currently known about the adequacy and better strategy for implementing the model at the elementary school level. Classroom Action Research (CAR) was applied to this study, as it has been extensively used in elementary school teaching and is well established in the literature. The study results provide an extended approach as a proven successful process for applying the NHT model to elementary schools in Indonesia by incorporating the Problem Solving (PS) learning model into the NHT model. While this study was originally designed for the Indonesian context, we also see a possible application of the proposed expanded NHT model as transboundary for teaching activities in general at the elementary school level. This research serves as the first step toward a deeper insight into the practical application of the NHT and PS learning model in primary school contexts. The evaluation of the results provides initial evidence of the effectiveness of the combined model in improving student engagement in learning.

Published: July 2022

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the clinical features of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome and the efficacy and safety of Korean medicine treatment.Methods: This study was conducted on 15 patients with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome who visited the outpatient Allergy, Immune, and Respiratory System Department at Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital from January 10, 2021 to April 10, 2022. We retrospectively analyzed the charts of 15 patients and collected clinical characteristics, Korean medicine treatments, outcome variables (Numeral Rating Scale (NRS), modified Medical Research Council scale (mMRC), Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), Quality of Life Visual Analog Scale (QOL-VAS), The Post-COVID-19 Functional Status (PCFS)), adverse events, etc.Results: Of the 15 patients, seven (46.7%) were men, and the average age of all patients was 49.7±13 years. The most common symptom was cough (n=9, 60%), and it was followed by dyspnea or increased respiratory effort, fatigue, insomnia, anosmia, etc. The herbal medicine was prescribed for all 15 patients, and Saengmaek-san (n=8, 53.5%) was the most prescribed. Additionally, acupuncture and cupping were performed in four patients (26.7%) each, and electroacupuncture was applied to one patient (6.7%). As a result of Korean medicine treatment, NRS, mMRC, LCQ, QOL-VAS, and PCFS showed improvement, and adverse events were mild.Conclusions: This study presented the clinical features of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome and suggested that Korean medicine treatment may be effective in alleviating related symptoms and enhancing quality of life.

Authors: Kang Heekyung , Han Changwoo
Published: July 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to confirm the clinical efficacy of Gyeongok-go.Methods: Public/Publisher MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE), Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), ScienceON, Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal (KTKP), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for randomized controlled clinical trials administering Gyeongok-go as an intervention, published from inception to December 31, 2021. The risk-of-bias of the included trials was assessed with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials version 2. From the experimental and control groups of the selected trials, the mean value (or rate) of each outcome was extracted and statistically compared.Results: Statistically significant mean differences were in VO2max (MD 6.82), post-exercise heart rate (MD -8.76 at 5 min, -11.58 at 30 min, -14.6 at 60 min), senescence scale (MD -6.52), Th1 cells and Th2 cells in pulmonary tuberculosis (MD 2.79 and -1.64), yin-deficient and qi-deficient score (MD -9.64 and -9.76), and phlegm-dampness score (MD 5.56). Overall risk-of-bias was 20% low risk, 80% some concerns, and 0% high risk. There were no reports of adverse events.Conclusions: Gyeongok-go is likely to have the effect of improving cardiorespiratory endurance, increasing fatigue recovery ability, reducing senescence, and enhancing immune function in tuberculosis patients. Also, it is more suitable for those who are yin-deficient or qi-deficient, and those with phlegm-dampness probably need caution.

Macroseismic intensity-based catalogue of earthquakes in Ecuador
Authors: Cajamarca-Zuniga David , Kabantsev Oleg Vasil'evich , Marin Christopher
Published: July 2022

Earthquake magnitude catalogues and peak ground acceleration (PGA) maps for Ecuador may be found in several studies, however, there are rare works on the characterisation of the epicentral macroseismic intensities associated with earthquakes. In view of the concept that macroseismic intensity enables us to categorise the extent and severity of damage to buildings and structures caused by an earthquake, this study aims to compile a macro-seismic intensity-based catalogue of earthquakes in Ecuador, characterise the epicentral macroseismic intensities associated to seismogenic sources and perform a comparison with the National Seismic Hazard Map. This paper is the first that presents a catalogue of earthquakes with macroseismic intensities ≥VII and a series of maps of earthquake epicentres according to intensity, focal depth, data and magnitude of seismic events in Ecuador, based on the study of historical and instrumental records from 1900 to 2021. The obtained data shows that 95% of the territory of Ecuador has a PGA 0.1 g, which corresponds to seismic intensities greater than VII, while regions with seismicityVIII (ag = 0.2 g) constitute 86%, and 3.8% of the territory of Ecuador has very high seismicity (IX), where the PGA exceeds 0.5 g. This information suggests that the normative National Seismic Hazard Map of Ecuador underestimate the hazard mainly in the south-east and in the Central Andes of Ecuador, and require an actualization.
Nonlinear and linear analysis of the overall stability of the load-bearing system of a high-rise building with a load-bearing trunk
Authors: Inozemtseva Olga V. , Inozemtsev Vyacheslav K.
Published: July 2022

The results of numerical calculations can and should be verified, but testing a complex and detailed computational model is problematic. This possibility is provided by simplified models represented by simple computational schemes that are available for qualitative analysis, and the numerical results obtained are predictable. Such calculation schemes, as a rule, describe individual calculation tasks facing designers. For example, linear stability analysis is offered by the American Institute of Steel Structures (AISC). One of these models is discussed. The model under consideration is based on a linear analysis of the stability of a cantilever rack, which can be considered as a simple model of the bearing trunk of a high-rise building. A comparison of critical loads based on nonlinear and linear analysis of the stability of the cantilever rack is carried out. It is concluded that the considered linear model makes it possible to obtain a preliminary estimate of the critical load to verify the results of computer calculations using more complex models of the general stability of the equilibrium of the bearing trunk of a high-altitude object.
Inferencing and Functional Approach to Text: Based on Simultaneous Interpreting
Authors: Korovkina Marina Ye. , Semenov Arkady L.
Published: July 2022

A prompt exchange of information requires a thrift in expressive means and makes relevant the processes of verbalizing and reverbalizing sense in bilingual communication. The analysis of various communicative situations in simultaneous interpreting both from English into Russian and Russian into English show specific parameters of generating a text in the target language, which differ from the traditional author’s text generation. The study’s objective is to introduce the notion of inferencing (in the Russian linguistic studies the term inference is used) as a special linguistic tool of eliciting and interpreting sense in the process of translation/interpreting. General linguistic understanding of inference and implication refers to the direct communication between a sender (speaker) and recipient (listener) that produces interrelated notions via independent inferences. The method of sampling and comparing the inferences accumulated empirically and of simulation modelling of simultaneous interpreting can demonstrate that a distinctive feature of indirect communication via interpreter is multi-component system of additional cognitive procedures at the stage of interpreting. The simultaneous interpreting outcomes as the material of research indicate that conveying the sense in interpreting is based on a dynamic process of inferencing, which is a creative search of implicatures and their reverbalization, with an interpreter resorting to his/ her own thesaurus-based resources (mental lexicon) related to the knowledge of domain, which is a subject of communication. The distinctive parameter of inferencing in interpreting is both the generation of inferences and implicatures and a cognitive analytical process of selecting facts from presuppositional knowledge. The study outcomes show that the cognitive analytical process of inferencing is closely related to probabilistic forecasting, which presupposes an accumulation by an interpreter of a sufficient individual base of verified intuitive solutions and referential languagebased interpretations and presuppositions. The study makes a conclusion that of crucial importance for interpreting is inferencing, rather than inference as such.
Neology Process in the Era of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Spanish and French Media and Social Networks Discourse
Authors: Zvereva Ekaterina V.
Published: July 2022

The study aims to explore features of the realization of the neological potential of lexemes created or rethought by the new reality and included in the COVID-19 concept sphere. It identifies the specifics of derivation and lexical-semantic ways of forming these neologisms. The research material includes more than 1000 articles from the most influential Hispanic and French-language publications and correspondence of native speakers in social networks and telephone applications in a synchronous cut over eight months of the pandemic. A vital factor for choice of material refers to the fact that the mentioned channels have formed a global communication environment that intensively contributes to the creation and dissemination of neology products. The methodology rests on the discursive and communicative approaches. It includes analysis and synthesis of theoretical research and applies continuous sampling of research material from the mentioned sources. The study establishes that the multidirectional processes distinguish the media and social networks’ discourse during the pandemic. Changes in the lexical-semantic discourse are carried out by creating neologisms, which, along with borrowings assimilated into the grammatical system or functioning in parallel with the national concept definition, are productive means of replenishing the lexis. The semantic neology’s main mechanisms are metaphorization and metonymization and changes in the semantic volume of a lexeme. Modern new formations perform pragmatic functions, making it possible to strengthen the emotional and modal interaction. The author concludes that neological processes demonstrate each language’s national and cultural originality and establishes that the linguistic norm in Spanish and French discourse does not conflict with the “disruptive” nature of linguistic innovations. The society positively evaluates the formation of individual speech meanings and linguistic meanings and the expansion of their functioning boundaries.
A Semantic Field of Perfectionism as a Social and Psychological Concept in Academic Discourse
Authors: Filyasova Yulia A.
Published: July 2022

The paper considers perfectionism as a large semantic paradigm comprised of several conceptual categories which belong to the three major scientific areas: sociology, psychology, and medicine. The interest to perfectionism has been increasing progressively since mid2000s, probably, due to accelerating global economic growth and heightened competition. Though perfectionism may seem immediately obvious to be a positive, socially relevant personal characteristic, psychological studies claim the opposite. Theoretical value of this research is that perfectionism was analyzed as a cross-disciplinary phenomenon on the material of a large academic database; that gave an opportunity to shed light on important semantic areas which outline a semantic field of the concept under analysis. The results of a componential analysis show that perfectionism as a dogmatic term occurred as a result of accumulated philosophical views based on the concept of perfection and idealistic goals. Contextual collocations in academic discourse, however, give evidence of destructive cognitive patterns and unattainability of personally and socially relevant goals. The heaviest forms of perfectionism are described as clinical disorders related to physical, mental, and social dysfunctions. Despite the fact that the majority of studies are conducted in the field of psychology, results of semantic field analysis show that perfectionism characterizes certain social population categories and has serious social implications.
Stylistic Use of the Grammatical Tense Category in the Middle English Prose
Authors: Vyshenskaya Yuliya P.
Published: July 2022

The paper proposes some observation experience over exploring stylistic resources of the verbal category of tense in the texts of English belles-lettres presented by its prosaic segment dated by High Middle Ages period. Acquiring by the prosaic form of the belles-lettres text the independent status is the important step in the History of European Literature which chronologically coincides with the period of transferring from Middle Ages to Renaissance. After passing the formation period there appeared verbal coverings of one and the same contents different in stylistic, lexical and grammatical characteristics as well as the use of the national language. In consequence of the consciousness secularization, works of literature characterized by practical appropriation of reality, take some practical orientation. This, in turn, causes some necessity in new ways to describe «tactile materiality of consciousness». The category of tense is chosen as the investigation object by virtue of its dependence on proper to textual structures’ contents and compositional features. The work of literature text continuum is considered as distributed into chronological plans reflected in the verbal tense forms. The period of transferring from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, the period of translation, supposes establishing evaluative correspondences in the stylistic orientative activity with some etalon presented by the antique rhetorical tradition. Style generating processes in the textual space of English literature, facultative when compared with French belles-lettres, are marked by putting on th etalon position the French rhetorical tradition as well. The most eminent instances of the tradition can be found in the romance genre as one of the most representative in the European literary genre system. The English genre variant is used as illustrative material for the analysis procedure done.

Published: July 2022

The research is devoted to an actual topic - a comparative description of adverbs of degree and measure in the Russian and Chinese languages. The object of the comparative analysis of this study is the adverbs of degree and measure of the Russian and Chinese languages чрезвычайно [chrezvychayno] and 非常 [fēicháng] ‘extremely’. The subject of the study is the similarities and differences in the field of pragmatics and semantic compatibility of the adverbs чрезвычайно [chrezvychayno] and 非常 [fēicháng] ‘extremely’. The purpose of this work is to reveal semantic and pragmatic properties of the adverbs чрезвычайно [chrezvychayno] and 非常 [fēicháng] ‘extremely’. The article involves the following methods: descriptive method, observation method, comparative analysis method, example confirmation method. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that in a comparative study of adverbs чрезвычайно [chrezvychayno] and 非常 [fēicháng] in the strong meaning ‘extremely’ in Russian and Chinese has not been previously carried out. Based on the analysis of theoretical provisions and linguistic material derived from the National Corpus of the Russian Language and Chinese fiction, as well as explanatory dictionaries of Russian and Chinese, we can conclude that despite the coincidence of the semantics of the adverbs чрезвычайно [chrezvychayno] and 非常 [fēicháng] ‘extremely’ their usage varies. To avoid mistakes, it is necessary to take into account the similarities and differences in the field of semantic compatibility and pragmatics of these adverbs. The study can be useful in teaching Russian as a foreign language and theory and practice of translation from Chinese into Russian and vice versa.
Metaphorization of Toponyms in Russian and Arabic dy the Material of the Russian and Arabic Press
Authors: Ibrahim Wael F. , Mamontov Alexander S.
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the features of the metaphorization of toponyms in Russian and Arabic. During the study, more than 1350 articles using metaphorical toponyms were analyzed using the methods of comparative analysis, contextual analysis, descriptive analysis, and quantitative analysis. Studying the works of different researchers on toponyms proved that any toponym has some kind of cultural component, which contributes to the metaphorization of some toponyms. When metaphorizing toponyms turn into symbols. Russian and Arabic journalists metaphorize toponyms, since the metaphor not only expresses the attitude of the author, his assessment of this or that phenomenon of reality, but also influences the reader’s opinion. Toponymic metaphors evoke many additional associations and awaken the cultural memory of the addressee. Some toponyms are subject to deonymization, which is manifested in their writing with a lowercase letter and the use in the plural. According to our observations, the largest group of our material is represented by those toponyms that are associated with war events, which is a natural result of the relevance of the topic “War” in the life of any nation. The toponyms of our material are usually accompanied by territorial, temporal and so on characteristics.

Authors:   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Murtazina Lyalya R. , Zinnatullina Alsou A. ,   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2022

This article is devoted to the analysis of some problems and features of the development of women’s education among the Tatars in the countryside. Women’s schools first appeared in cities. Then they began to open in the Tatar villages. The development of these schools was reflected in the contradictions between the supporters of the old-method teaching and the Jadids. Very often the people were on the side of the former. As a result, women’s schools were forced to close and teachers lost their jobs. In some villages, thanks to the activities of progressive people, schools developed and became famous in Russia. The authors give examples of such schools and teachers. The work uses the publications of the Tatar periodical press of the early 20th century.
The influence of the Izh-Bubi madrasah on the development of education in the Taw yağı (the Mountainous side): pages from the history of the Akzigit madrassa
Authors:   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Salakhova Elmira K.
Published: July 2022

In the late 19th – early 20th centuries, with the support of the Tatar bourgeoisie, the largest Jadid madrasas appeared in almost all regions of compact Tatar residence, which became centers of Tatar culture. Many educational institutions existed in rural areas, and they became centers of education in a given region. Thanks to their leader or mentors, they were recognized in the Tatar-Muslim world. The fruitful activity and experience of the famous madrasas gave hope for the widespread dissemination of Jadid education among Tatars. One of these madrasas, which can be called a unique educational institution, is the madrasah of Izh-Bobya of the Sarapulsky district of the Vyatka province. The history of this madrasah is connected with the activities of the Nigmatullin brothers, their experience, the cadres who grew up in the madrasah, served the development of education not only among the Tatars, but also other peoples of the Turkic world. The purpose of this study is to show the influence of the Izh-Bubi madrasah on the development of education in the Mountainous side of the Kazan province as a whole. Using the example of the history of the Akzigit madrasah of the Civil district of Kazan, the interrelation and cooperation of Tatar educational institutions, regardless of their location, is described. The research is aimed at understanding the history of famous madrasas in the educational system among the Tatars of the late 19th- early 20th centuries. This is the novelty of the study. This approach to the problem made it possible to reveal little-known pages of the history of both the Izh-Bubi and Akzegit madrassa. It turned out that many teachers of the Akzegit madrasah were graduates of the Izh-Bubi madrasah, so they became the companions of Jadid education in the Mountainous side of the Kazan province. On the example of the activities of these educational institutions, the High culture of the Tatar people in rural areas in the late 19th – early 20th centuries is presented.

Authors: Masyita Masyita , Sayekti Endah , Nurlina Nurlina
Published: July 2022

The flavonoid content in wungu (Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff.) leaves has the potential as a sunscreen. The study aims to identify isolates of flavonoid compounds from wungu leaves and determine the SPF value. Steps are followed by extraction, fractionation, phytochemical test, separation by chromatography, identification, and SPF test. Extraction was carried out with methanol, followed by fractionation with n-hexane and dichloromethane. Dichloromethane fraction was chosen to proceed to the separation step because the results of the phytochemical test showed a vigorous color intensity for the content of flavonoids. The isolate (3.6 mg; dark green; amorphous; mp. 132-136 °C) was identified using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer using methanol as a solvent with a shift reagent NaOH, AlCl3, and a mixture of concentrated AlCl3 and HCl. Based on the UV-Vis spectra, the isolate was predicted to be flavonoid compounds belonging to the catechin group, which have a hydroxyl group at positions C-3, C-7, and do not have an ortho-hydroxy group in ring B. The SPF value of the isolate of 2.3244 at 100 ppm was determined in vitro and calculated by the Qian equation. Therefore, isolate was categorized as sunscreens that provided minimal protection

Synthesis of activated carbon from cempedak peel waste is carried out to utilize biomass waste. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize activated carbon from cempedak peel waste. The synthesis was carried out by chemical activation using phosphoric acid with a dry impregnation ratio of 1:4 (g sample:g H3PO4). Samples impregnated for 24 hours were then heated at 250℃—and then calcined at 350℃ and 450℃. The XRD and FTIR characterization results indicated that the activated carbon obtained had an amorphous structure and the activated carbon obtained had hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxylic groups. Activated carbon with the highest yield was obtained at a temperature of 350, namely 43%. The results of determining the water content of activated carbon obtained are 8.36% at 350 0C and 7.1% at 450 ℃. The value of water content and ash content of activated carbon from the skin of this cempedak fruit has met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 06-3730-1995). The best-activated carbon yield was at a calcination temperature of 450, with the percentage of adsorption efficiency on methylene blue of 98.88%.

Um dos elementos de transmissão mais usados e que ainda proporciona a
inclusão de novas tecnologias na Engenharia Mecânica é a engrenagem de
aço cilíndrica de dentes retos e helicoidal. Embora seja um elemento
mecânico muito usado na indústria e testado pelos cientistas, há pouca
informação atualizada e disponível sobre seu equacionamento na unidades
do Sistema Internacional, para o cálculo à fadiga: análise de tensão ao
contato e consequente avaliação da resistência ao crateramento na
superfície do dente da engrenagem; análise da tensão à flexão e
consequente avaliação da resistência a fratura na região do cordão raiz
do dente da engrenagem. Para tal, tem-se mapeado os artigos mais
relevantes dos últimos 8 anos da área de Engenharia Mecânica que abordam
a análise desse elemento mecânico, destacando a norma ANSI/AGMA 2101-D04
para unidades métricas. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho detalha dita
norma e a complementa com informações da literatura consolidada de
Projeto de Máquinas, proporcionando ao mundo acadêmico e industrial,
mais um material que possa auxiliar no projeto para a análise de uma
engrenagem, nos  seus cálculos de análise à fadiga e mitigação de
possíveis falhas causadas por erros de projeto. Para maior entendimento
da aplicabilidade dessa norma, foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso que
compara a norma AGMA com resultados obtidos no software de CAD Solid

Enhancement of Two-Step Low-Temperature Annealing Treatment on Electrical Performance of In-Sn-O Thin-Film Transistors
Authors: Zhang Guangchen , Dong Junchen , Li Qi , Han Dedong , Zhang Xing , Yu Zhinong
Published: July 2022

Herein, we report a two-step low-temperature annealing method to enhance
performance of InSnO (ITO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). In case of
one-step annealing treatment, threshold voltage (V) of
the ITO TFTs present a negative correlation with annealing temperature.
Therefore, we design a two-step low-temperature annealing process to
purposely modulate electrical properties of the ITO TFTs. The results
show that the ITO TFTs annealed at 200 °C for 1 h at first and then
annealed at 150 °C for 0.5 h exhibit the best performance, and the major
properties includes a saturation mobility (µ) of 21.0
cmVs, a
V of -1.1 V, a subthreshold swing (SS) of 560.5 mV/cm,

Safety is the foremost aspect in today”s world. In this world of technology, people need technology to help them in danger conditions. Gas leakage becomes a severe issue that results in many accidents which lead to mortal and monetary harm. It is need of hour to install the gas leakage detection systems on public places. This paper presents a system design that identifies the leakage of gas and warns the user about the situation by sending SMS on user”s phone with the help of GSM. Smart kitchen by means of IOT is aimed, created and verified. Our system has more features than existing systems because those were manual while our system is automatic and provides rapid reply and correct identification that can save many lives and prevents humans from many hazardous cases. _____________________________________________
The Cauchy problem for the non-isentropic compressible MHD fluids: optimal time-decay rates
Authors: Huang Wenting , Fu Shengbin
Published: July 2022

This paper is concerned with the time-decay rates of the strong
solutions of the three dimensional non-isentropic compressible
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system. First, motivated by Pu–Guo’s result
[Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 64 (2013) 519–538], we establish the
existence result of a unique local-in-time strong solution for the MHD
system. Then, we derive a priori estimates and use the continuity
argument to obtain the global-in-time solution, where the initial data
should be bounded in L-norm and is small in
H-norm. Finally, based on Fourier theory and the idea
of cancellation of a low-medium frequent part as in [Sci. China Math.
65 (2022) 1199–1228], we get the optimal time-decay rates (including
highest-order derivatives) of strong solutions for non-isentropic MHD
fluids. Our result is the first one concerning with the optimal decay
estimates of the highest-order derivatives of the non-isentropic MHD
system.
Evidence of sweepstakes reproductive success in a broadcast-spawning coral and its implications for coral metapopulation persistence
Authors: Barfield Sarah , Davies Sarah , Matz Mikhail
Published: July 2022

Processes governing genetic diversity and adaptive potential in
reef-building corals are of interest both for fundamental evolutionary
biology and for reef conservation. Here, we investigated the possibility
of “sweepstakes reproductive success” (SRS) in a broadcast spawning
coral Acropora hyacinthus at Yap Island, Micronesia. SRS is an extreme
yearly variation in the number of surviving offspring among parents. It
is predicted to generate genetically differentiated, low genetic
diversity recruit cohorts, potentially containing close kin individuals.
We have tested these predictions by comparing genetic composition of
size classes (adults and juveniles) at several sites on the island of
Yap, Micronesia. While we did not detect genetic structure among
juveniles, there was significant variation in genetic diversity between
age classes, including the SRS-predicted genome-wide dip in genetic
diversity in juveniles compared to adults at two of the five sites. Most
notably, we have identified two pairs of juvenile siblings at the site
where juveniles had the lowest genetic diversity compared to adults.
Incorporating SRS into the Indo-West Pacific coral metapopulation
adaptation model had surprisingly little effect on mean rates of coral
cover decline during warming; yet, SRS notably increases year-to-year
variation in coral cover throughout the simulation.

Published: July 2022

Background and Purpose Pharmaceutical treatment in the neonatal
intensive care unit (NICU) is challenging, and newborns are often
exposed to numerous different medicines during their hospitalization
There is currently insufficient knowledge of gestational age dependent
medicine disposition, and accordingly the use of off-label medication,
i.e., use of medicines outside its approved marketing authorization, is
high. This study aims to estimate the off-label medication use in Danish
neonatal departments. Experimental Approach By using data from the
Danish National Pharmaceutical Hospital Purchase Database, we identified
the most commonly occurring medicines and estimated the on/off-label
ratios for premature and term neonates. Data was extracted on ATC level
5 and based on defined daily doses as per WHO. Key Results Data included
was covering the 4 high-level NICUs and 10 of 13 of the
intermediate/standard level neonatal departments in Denmark. Of the
identified medication, 87% and 70% did not have approved marketing
authorization for use in premature and full-term neonates, respectively.
Furthermore one-fifth of the top 100 medicines did not have a (Danish)
marketing license. Overall, off-label medication was widespread covering
virtually all ATC groups and no ATC group had an off-label level lower
than 50%. Finally, in 21% of medications, additives from 8 different
chemical groups with potential deleterious effects for neonates were
identified. Conclusion Off-label medication in the Danish neonatal
departments is widespread, and the current state of neonatal official
regulatory drug approval leaves both patients and neonatologists in a
limbo between legal pharmaco-regulation and clinical need for
pharmacotherapy in neonatology.

The aim of the study was to study the clinical and laboratory features of acute respiratory viral infections in hospitalized children.The analysis of medical records of 623 patients admitted to the clinic, aged from 1 month to 16 years 11 months 29 days, was carried out. All patients were diagnosed with ARVI on the basis of clinical symptoms with laboratory confirmation in the study of naso- or oropharyngeal smears by PCR.Three groups of children were identified: with respiratory syncytial (RSV) — 384 children (61,6%), metapneumovirus — 142 (22,8%) and bocavirus — 97 (15,6%) infections. It has been established that in the general structure of acute respiratory viral infections in hospitalized children, RSV and rhinovirus are the leading pathogens — 28,8—48,6% and 22,1—41,3%, respectively, depending on the calendar year. The main clinical form was acute bronchitis in 80,5% of cases of confirmed infection, with RS-viral etiology in 79,5% (n = 287) of cases, with metapneumo- and bocavirus infections in 85,6% (n = 95) and 77,8% (n = 56) of children, respectively. Bronchiolitis was characteristic of RSV infection in 10,5% of cases (n = 38). From 10 to 19,4% of cases, the course of these viral infections was complicated by the development of pneumonia.
Impacts of sedimentation and dam failure on the macroinvertebrate community in a tropical stream
Authors: da Silva Pinto Thandy Junio , Senteio Smith Welber
Published: July 2022

Changes in land use due to human activities lead to disturbances related to sedimentation in aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, the construction of dams in streams raises concerns about their safety, and the rupture of these structures implies significant impacts. Thus, this article assessed the effects of sedimentation and dam failure on the aquatic macroinvertebrate community in a tropical stream and verified its influence on the structural and functional composition of this assemblage of organisms. Water physical-chemical parameters and macroinvertebrate fauna data were obtained from monitoring data for both the pre- and post-rupture period. Macroinvertebrates were identified at the family level and classified according to functional feeding groups. Structural and functional biological indexes were applied, and data were analyzed using comparison tests, correla¬tion matrix, correspondence, and cluster analysis. The results showed that sedimentation resulted in the impoverishment of macroinvertebrate fauna, with the loss of important functional feeding groups, indicating a low environmental quality. Dam failure changed the composition of the fauna, leading to the disappearance of important orders, the appearance of organisms belonging to the order Coleoptera, and the loss of feeding groups with consequent loss of ecological functions. The dam failure was not the only stressor for the studied stream, because it already suffered from small and medium scale disturbances related to sedimentation. However, the rupture of the structure resulted in greater environmental losses, and is considered large scale, implying the need to implement recovery measures in the area.
