Authors: Paduchowski Wojciech
Published: November 2021

The article presents a biographical outline of Jan Kotyza, a soldier of the Home Army, Peasants’ Battalions and the Polish People’s Army. He was born in Bieńczyce near Cracow in a peasant family. Thanks to the persistence of his parents and teachers he finished high school and then studied physical education at the Jagiellonian University. Just before the outbreak of World War II, Kotyza took over the position of manager of the newly built city stadium at 3 Maja Avenue in Cracow. He was a reserve officer but did not take part in the Polish campaign of 1939. During the occupation he got involved in underground work. Initially, it consisted only in the distribution of underground magazines. He joined the Union of Armed Struggle (ZWZ) and took pseudonym „Krzemień”. Initially he organized a platoon in the villages of Bieńczyce, Krzesławice and Mistrzejowice. Then he became the commander of the ZWZ post „Mogiła”, which included municipalities: Mogiła, Ruszcza and Węgrzce. He left the ZWZ to join the Peasants’ Battalions (BCh). At the same time he became a member of the underground People’s Party „Roch”. After the BCh where merged with the Home Army, he took command of the „Pająk” battalion. In 1943, he was promoted within the BCh and became commander of the Cracow district codenamed „Forest Inspectorate No. 6”. Shortly after the liberation from the Germans, he answered the call of the new authorities to join the so-called Polish People’s Army. Initially he was not sent to the front, eventually he was sent to the 2nd Army. He did not manage to take part in fights against the Germans. He was near Dresden, from where he was withdrawn through Wrocław to Rzeszów, where he took part in fights with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. After being demobilized, he returned to his hometown.

The Border Protection Corps (KOP) (1924–1939) was a special military formation to protect the eastern border of the Second Polish Republic. In terms of service and in terms of budget, KOP was subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior. In terms of wages, KOP soldiers were subject to the provisions of the Act on the remuneration of state officials and the army. Due to the specific nature of the service and to immunize the KOP soldiers against bribery by smugglers and Soviet agents, they were entitled to border allowances. The article discusses the principles of assigning service and functional allowances.

Published: November 2021

The most demanded advanced technology throughout the world is cloud computing. It is one of the most significant topics whose application is being researched in today’s time. Cloud storage is one of the eminent services offered in cloud computing. Data is stored on multiple third-party servers, rather than on the dedicated server used in traditional networked data storage in the cloud storage. All data stored on multiple third-party servers is not bothered by the user and no one knows where exactly data saved. It is minded by the cloud storage provider that claims that they can protect the data but no one believes them. Data stored over the cloud and flowing through the network in the plain text format is a security threat. This paper proposes a method that allows users to store and access the data securely from cloud storage. This method ensures the security and privacy of data stored on the cloud. A further advantage of this method is we will be using encryption techniques to encrypt.

Published: November 2021

Amature trekkers venturing into the forest often tend to lose their path and find it difficult to return back to their origin or destination. It is important for the rescuers and volunteers to promptly find the trekker in order to increase the probability of survival. Imparting confidence and providing proper guidance to the trekker is also an important part in search and rescue missions. Drones can be used to locate the trekker promptly using RFID technology and global positioning system (GPS) and provide communication systems between the trekker and the rescue team using LoRa.

We present the case of a cognitively unimpaired 77-year-old man with elevated, asymmetric, and longitudinally increasing Flortaucipir tau PET despite normal (visually negative) amyloid PET. His atypical tau PET signal persisted and globally increased in a follow-up scan five years later. Across eight years of observations, temporoparietal atrophy was observed consistent with tau PET patterns, but he retained the cognitively unimpaired classification. Altogether, his atypical tau PET signal is not explained by any known risk factors or alternative pathologies, and other imaging findings were not remarkable. He remains enrolled for further observation.

Published: November 2021

Mutations in Presenilin-1 (PSEN1) have been found to be associated with very early onset Alzheimer’s disease (VEOAD). Here, we reported two patients with VEOAD caused by de novo PSEN1 mutations. A 33-year-old man with a de novo p.F177S mutation in PSEN1 presented with progressive decline in memory and daily function. A 37-year-old woman with a de novo PSEN1 p.L381V mutation presented with onset memory impairment, developed cerebellar syndrome, rigidity, and spastic paraparesis. The Amyloid/Tau/Neurodegeneration (ATN) biomarker profiles of both patients were A + T + (N)+. Our finding increases the genetic knowledge of VEOAD and extends the ethnic distribution of PSEN1 mutations.

Published: November 2021

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. There are several risk factors for CVD, many of which are preventable, including sedentary lifestyles and poor diet. OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of physical activity, adherence to the Mediterranean diet and sociodemographic variables such as age, sex and social class on the values of different cardiovascular risk scales. METHODS: A descriptive, cross-sectional study in 1584 Spanish workers in which the influence of different sociodemographic variables (age, sex, social class) and healthy habits (tobacco consumption, physical activity assessed with the IPAQ questionnaire, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet) on the values of different cardiovascular risk (CVR) scales (REGICOR, SCORE, DORICA, ERICE, heart age, and vascular age) was assessed. RESULTS: All the CVR scales showed better mean values as the level of physical activity increased, something similar occurring with the prevalence of altered values, in both sexes. High adherence to the Mediterranean diet also improved the mean values and prevalence of altered values in men and women. CONCLUSION: The Mediterranean diet and physical exercise decrease the probability of suffering a cardiovascular event and improve all the CVR scales analyzed in this study.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: Graded motor imagery (GMI) therapy is a neural rehabilitative physiotherapy that has been shown to alleviate the severity of complex regional pain syndrome, phantom limb pain and disability. OBJECTIVE: To identify neural networks associated with the use of graded mirror therapy (MT) while imagining hand movements. METHODS: We made a block-design functional magnetic resonance imaging study of MT included three experiments: (1) immobile unimanual MT (IU-MT), in which the right hand flexed and made a fist, which then remained immobile; (2) mobilization unimanual MT (MU-MT), in which the right hand performed a flexion-extension movement; and (3) mobilization bimanual MT (MB-MT), in which both hands performed a flexion-extension movement. When subjects started their hand movements, they gazed at the mirror and imagined the same movement behind the mirror. RESULTS: We discovered that the sensorimotor area of the left brain, superior temporal gyrus/middle temporal gyrus (STG/MTG) of the right brain and visual areas were activated by IU-MT. In MU-MT, only the STG/MTG was activated. Furthermore, MB-UT mostly activated the sensorimotor area and STG of the right brain. However, there were no brain areas activated by MU-MT compared with IU-MT or MB-MT; but, MB-MT activated more motor areas than IU-MT. Importantly, we determined that the level of mirror imagery was negatively correlated with signals in the mirror neuron system (MNS) and positively related with the signals in the sensorimotor areas. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that graded MT might be a sequential therapeutic program that can enhance the sensorimotor cortex. The MNS might have an initiating role in graded MT. Thus, there is the possibility that graded MT is a helpful treatment strategy for the rehabilitation of dysfunctional patients.

BACKGROUND: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by cardinal motor symptoms in addition to cognitive impairment. New insights concerning multisite non-invasive brain stimulation effects have been gained, which can now be used to develop innovative treatment approaches. OBJECTIVE: Map the researchs involving multisite non-invasive brain stimulation in PD, synthesize the available evidence and discuss future directions. METHODS: The databases PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, LILACS and The Cochrane Library were searched from inception until April 2020, without restrictions on the date of publication or the language in which it was published. The reviewers worked in pairs and sequentially evaluated the titles, abstracts and then the full text of all publications identified as potentially relevant. RESULTS: Twelve articles met the inclusion criteria. The target brain regions included mainly the combination of a motor and a frontal area, such as stimulation of the primary motor córtex associated with the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Most of the trials showed that this modality was only more effective for the motor component, or for the cognitive and/or non-motor, separately. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the results being encouraging for the use of the multisite aproach, the indication for PD management should be carried out with caution and deserves scientific deepening.
Features of using human capital in agrarian sector of economy
Authors: Butko Galina , Saparova Ol'ga
Published: November 2021

Abstract. The article discusses the influence of human capital on the efficiency of the agro-industrial complex. The purpose of the study is to analyze the use and management of human capital from the standpoint of practice, the development of systems that are used to manage and develop employees of an organization. Results. The article reveals the results of the analysis of the development level of the agro-industrial complex and the state of the social infrastructure of the region as the most important conditions for the formation of human capital, functioning within a particular region. On the basis of theoretical generalizations, the analysis of statistical data, the desired dependencies and the rating of countries according to the human development index were obtained. The state and development of human capital is based on the initial data of Russian agricultural organizations for 2017–2019. As a result of the analysis, two types of models were proposed – linear and nonlinear models; correlation and regression analysis of statistical data was carried out. The main importance is the setting of the prospects for the development of human capital and, on this basis, the possibility of creating and strengthening food self-sufficiency. In the formation of human capital, the topical issue is the qualifications of specialists and its constant growth. The article presents in the most detail the results of processing the theory of statistical information on the example of correlation-regression analysis. Scientific novelty. The results obtained in the process of work have theoretical novelty and practical value, because, first of all, in the context of a pandemic, the formation of the importance of an emphasis on the progressiveness of the regulatory and legal framework and the improvement of stimulating the demand for highly qualified specialists in rural areas has been accomplished. Achieving competitive advantages is possible on the basis of sustainable development as a factor in ensuring economic stability. The structure of the process of using human capital includes progressive elements based on a balance between the increase and depletion of available resources. The results of the study confirmed the significance of the proposed indicators of human capital, however, they refuted the hypothesis of a direct relationship between the number of employees with higher education and the efficiency of the agro-industrial complex.

Authors: Malani Manish R. , Nimbalkar Sangita Santosh
Published: November 2021

Background and Aim: Bowel obstruction is the most common intra-abdominal problem faced by general surgeons in their practice. Therefore better understanding of pathophysiology, improvement in diagnostic techniques, fluid and electrolyte correction, much potent antibiotics and knowledge of intensive care is required. present study was undertaken to study the management and post-operative complications of intestinal obstruction.

Material and Methods: This is a prospective study of 97 cases presenting with symptoms and signs suggestive of acute intestinal obstruction. All patients are subjected to required preoperative biochemical investigations. Patients who showed reduction in abdominal distention and improvement in general condition especially in individuals with postoperative adhesions, a chance of conservative management was taken (by extending the supportive treatment) for further 12 to 24 hours; those who showed improvement by moving bowels, reduction in pain and tenderness was decided for conservative treatment, such individuals were excluded in this study.

Results: The occurrence of acute intestinal obstruction was common in male in comparison with female. The commonest presenting symptom was abdominal pain (100%) followed by vomiting (92.7%), distention of abdomen (87.6%) and absolute constipation (53.6%). In this study, Adhesive obstruction (56.7%) was the commonest cause of acute intestinal obstruction. Release of adhesions and bands was done in 43 cases. Resection and end-to-end anastomosis was done in 25 cases, which included cases of intussusceptions, adhesions, stricture, ileocaecal growth, colonic growth.

Conclusion: Most common etiological factor for intestinal obstruction is postoperative adhesions. Obstructed Inguinal Hernia is second most common cause of intestinal obstruction. Clinic radiological and operative findings put together can bring about the best and accurate diagnosis of intestinal obstruction.

Considerations and complications with "first principles" dynamic modelling of industrial compressors
Authors: Jacoby James , Bailey Thomas , Zharikov Vitalii
Published: November 2021

Readily available processing hardware and "off-the-shelf" (OTS) simulation software has made "high fidelity" first principles models of both steady and transient states, for both axial and centrifugal industrial compressors, relatively easy to construct. These high-fidelity models are finding their way into "real-time. digital twin" performance monitors, front-end engineering design, and post-design – pre-construction compressor performance evaluation. The compressor models are useful for reliably demonstrating the compressor and – to some degree, based on the complexity of the model – process response to various operating conditions. Once the model is constructed, it is trivial to run a "what-if" analysis of compressor performance to answer questions related to (a) recommendations or validation of the recycle/vent valve size and actuation speed, (b) general piping layout and sizing around the compressor, (c) and hot gas bypass requirements, to name a few. This paper takes a practical approach in discussing the compressor and process parameters necessary for building these dynamic "high-fidelity" industrial-compressor models. We identify compressor inputs and compressor responses that are faithfully modeled by first-principle equations available in the simulation software and those that typically require a compromise between an "ab initio" and data-fitting approximation. We discuss the simulation's tendency to overstate pressure excursions during surge events and understate the compressor operation in the "stonewall" region. We also discuss using the simulator software's compressor-stage enthalpy calculations to predict and quantify the compressor train reverse rotation. We use our broad experience and understanding of the compressor operation and simulation and our experience with the AVEVA™ Dynamic-Simulation "OTS" simulation software as the basis for this discussion.
Исследования турбокомпрессоров с общим рабочим колесом для применения в двигателях и энергоустановках
Authors: Шкабура Владимир Анатольевич
Published: November 2021

The article deals with the working processes in flowing part of the turbo-compressors with general impeller (TCG) and with two schemes of the flows. The work studies the features of the TCG operation with two schemes of the flows and the gas-dynamic calculation theory development of their flow parts for use in engines and power plants. The tasks to be solved are to investigate two schemes of the flows in the interscapular space of the impeller – direct-flow and counter-flow. If the gas and air flow directions coincide concerning the axis of rotation of the impeller, then the flow pattern in the TCG is direct-flow, with the opposite movement of flows – is counter-flow. The solution to this problem was performed using the developed methods of gas-dynamic calculation of the TCG flow parts. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is as follows: parameters that significantly affect the efficiency of the turbine and compressor parts of the TCG were established and the formula in the form of a general criterion ratio was calculated. The dependence of the correction factor is determined, which considers the effect of the ratio of the impeller width on the average diameter of the working channel of the RK in the compressor section and the turbine section of the TCG. The article contains formulas, with correction factors, for calculating the power factor in the compressor section and the load factor in the turbine section. If the ratio of the grating width to the average diameter of the working channel is overestimated, it is necessary to supplement the formulas with a correction factor that considers the effect of this ratio. Studies have determined that switching from one mode of operation to another – in a certain section of the impeller, accelerates the flow to the required speed. It is especially evident in the compressor working channel of the TCG with a counter-flow pattern. In the turbine section, the gas flow acceleration time does not depend on the flow pattern – the flow is active and accelerates to the required speed in the nozzle apparatus. The given formulas allow calculating the power of the turbine and compressor parts of the impeller to perform an enlarged gas-dynamic calculation of TCG. Studies have determined that TCG can be used in gas turbine engines and the pressurization system of an internal combustion engine.
Influence of Vermicompost as the Source of Nitrogen in Various Combinations with Chemical Fertiliser on Winter Wheat Productivity
Authors: Karmakar Sruti , Kashyap Deepak
Published: November 2021

There is rarely any study that deals with the application of vermicompost in combination with chemical fertiliser to study the growth and yield variables of wheat crop in the typical agro-climatic conditions of saline sandy agricultural land of tropical semi-arid climatic condition with vast fluctuations of temperature between summer and winter seasons. Hence, the current study has been planned with a broader objective of utilising the organic resources by preparing vermicompost and applying it as the partial substitute of chemical fertiliser to cultivate wheat in an eco-friendly manner in saline sandy agricultural land of the tropical semi-arid zone. For achieving the intended goal, an experiment was conducted in the field of ‘Soil-Water-Plant Laboratory’, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Ropar, Punjab, India during the winter season (rabi) of 2018-19. In this experiment, Randomised Block Design (RBD) was followed, and four treatments were used, including T1: 100% RD using chemical fertilisers, T2: 50% RD using chemical fertilisers + 50% of nitrogen through vermicompost, T3:75% RD using chemical fertilisers + 25% of nitrogen through vermicompost and T4: control (without any additional nutrients). Each treatment was replicated nine times. Plot size was 4m × 6m, and row to row spacing was 0.2 m. Following statistical analysis, it was found that treatment T2 (50% RD using chemical fertilisers + 50% of nitrogen through vermicompost) showed the best results, which were reflected in different parameters such as number of effective tillers per plant, ear length, number of grains per ear, and test weight, grain yield and straw yield of the wheat crop in comparison to other treatments. In this case, an almost equal amount of nitrogen supply from both organic and inorganic sources is responsible for getting the best results.

The development of digital banking is expanding and developing at any time to facilitate community activities and make time efficient. In implementing this, Bank Syariah Mandiri is present by providing BSM Institutional Payment (BPI) operational services that function as an institutional bill payment system that can be done through Bank Mandiri Syariah e-channels including Mandiri Syariah Mobile. One institution that cooperates in institutional payment services is the University. During the admission of new school year students and the change of new semesters, as well as the increasing case of Covid-19, banks and universities worked together on this service to reduce physical contact with many people in receiving tuition payments. Before implementation, the University needs to submit an application to the nearest branch office which is then forwarded to the head office so that it can be immediately implemented. Implementation of BSM Institutional Payments at the University of Ibn Khaldun Bogor is arguably still small, because students are still accustomed to manually paying by cash deposit.

Iklan Animasi merupakan media promosi yang menggunakan animasi dalam memperkenalkan produknya. Salah satu produk yang menggunakan animasi sebagai media iklannya adalah Oreo. Di Indonesia, iklan oreo terkenal dengan taglinenya “diputer, dijilat, dicelupin”. Namun terdapat iklan internasional oreo yang mengusung tema berbagi dengan cerita yang berbeda. Salah satunnya adalah versi aladin yang mengggunakan dongeng aladin sebagai alur ceritanya. Untuk dapat mengetahui ideologi yang disusung dalam iklan ini penulis menganalisa menggunakan semiotika model Pierce untuk mengkaji dari tanda non verbal sedangkan model Saussure untuk mengkaji tanda verbal. Dari hasil analisis penulis menemukan ajakan konsumen untuk berbagi oreo, namun secara tidak langsung konsumen diajak menjadi agen untuk memasarkan oreo. Ideologi yang ingin dibangun dari Iklan ini adalah konsumtif dengan memasukkan pemahaman bahwa dengan berbagi oreo dapat memuncukan hal-hal baik.

Nilai akustik Ruang adalah salah satu perangkat penting dalam proses rekording. Akademi komunitas Negeri Pacitan telah mempunyai studio audio video yang digunakan untuk praktikum. Akan tetapi belum ada fasilitas untuk melakukan recording audio yang baik seperti ruang kedap suara. Penulis berusaha membuat analisis akustik ruang di studio audio video dengan tujuan dapat menjadi bahan dan dasar untuk membuat studio audio yang baik. Pengukuran noise suara dari berbagai sudut ruang dilakukan untuk mendapatkan data awal sebelum ruang kedap suara dibuat. Data ini akan di analisa dengan formula pengujian ruang akustik. Pengukuran dilakukan menggunakan sound level meter dan fft analyzer untuk menganilsa hasil suara yang telah diredam. Sumber suara yang diujikan adalah suara letupan balon yang dikeraskan dengan sound. Hasil dari penelitian ini noise criteria mencatat lebih dari 30 dB, yang berarti tergolong bising untuk studio audio, noise ini masih di dominasi oleh suara pendingin suara. Reverberation Time waktu dengung juga mencapai 5 detik yang berarti akan memungkinkan feedback suara. Transmission loss yang dihasilkan adalah 21,5 yang masih dikatagorikan sangat rendah.

Membimbing anak dalam memahami kewajiban shalat yang harus dilakukan sebagai seorangmerupakan kewajiban bagi seorang muslim. Jika anak tidak melaksanakan ibadah shalat tentunyahukuman yang di berikan disesuaikan dengan keaadaan mereka dalam masa anak-anak danhendaknya memotivasi mereka untuk lebih giat mengerjakan sholat tersebut. Dalam proses belajaranak akan berminat dengan sungguh-sungguh saat belajar jika pembimbing memiliki metodepembelajaran yang kreatif dan menarik. Selama ini anak menerima belajar pembelajaran denganbuku yang terlalu banyak teks sehingga kurang menarik dalam proses belajar, terutama belajaribadah. Perlunya ada sarana baru dalam proses belajar pada anak terutama anak usia 7-12 tahundengan cara mengabungkan buku dengan teknologi. Maka dilakukan pembuatan aplikasi “IMAN”Ibadah Pertama Anak dengan sistem operasi berbasis android dengan mengabungkan bukuinteraktif agar anak dapat belajar ibadah dengan sarana yang baru. Dalam memunculkan Animasigerakan rukun shalat dan wudhu pada buku interaktif ini mengunakan aplikasi Augmented realitydan diperlukan pengambilan video streaming dari kamera smartphone,kemudian aplikasi ini akanmelacak marker ataupun QR marker pada buku dengan sistem tracking hingga terdeteksimemunculkan karakter animasi 3D pada marker.
Covariate Adjustment in Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Lee Hyolim , Thorpe Kevin
Published: November 2021

Introduction & Objective: Unadjusted analyses, fully adjusted analyses, or adjusted analyses based on tests of significance on covariate imbalance are recommended for covariate adjustment in randomized controlled trials. It has been indicated that the tests of significance on baseline comparability is inappropriate, rather it is important to indicate the strength of relationship with outcomes. Our goal is to understand when the adjustment should be used in randomized controlled trials.

Methods: Unadjusted analysis, fully adjusted analysis, and adjusted analysis based on baseline comparability were examined under null and alternative hypothesis by simulation studies. Each data set was simulated 3000 times for a total of 9 scenarios for sample sizes of 20, 40, and 100 each with baseline thresholds of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2. Each scenario was examined by the change in magnitude of correlation from 0.1 to 0.9.

Results: Power of fully adjusted analysis under alternative hypothesis was increased as the correlation increased while adjusted analysis based on the covariate imbalance did not compare favorably to the unadjusted analysis. Type 1 error was decreased in adjusted analysis based on the covariate imbalance under null hypothesis. It was then observed that p-value does not follow a uniform distribution under the null hypothesis.

Conclusion: Unadjusted and fully adjusted analyses were valid analyses. Full adjustment could potentially increase the power if adjustment is known. However, adjusted analysis based on the test of significance on covariate imbalance may not be a valid analysis. Tests of significance should not be used for comparing baseline comparability.
Constructing Long Short-Term Memory Networks to Predict Ulcerative Colitis Progression from Longitudinal Gut Microbiome Profiles

Published: November 2021

Introduction & Objective: Ulcerative colitis is an intestinal disorder with an erratic progression in which the patients suffer from capricious remissions and changeful severities. Lacking prognosis to the UC progression can lead to irrational treatments that adversely affect the patients’ quality of life. Existing studies have stated a connection between gut microbiomes and UC progression. We aim to construct Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to predict UC progression (remission & severity) from longitudinal gut microbiome data.

Methods: Using one-step and two-step modelling strategies, we develop a standard LSTM network, an encoder-decoder LSTM network, a convolutional LSTM network, and several benchmarking classifiers such as random forests. For high-dimensional data, we also implement auto-encoder to select variables in addition to baseline procedures like principal component analysis. We train each model using a longitudinal microbiome data, and validate them via a 10-round set splitting approach.

Results: Each proposed model shows the potential to predict UC progression, but they do not reach an optimal level for medical utilizations. The encoder-decoder LSTM demonstrates superiority over the other classifiers while the auto-encoder outperformed the baseline variable selectors.

Conclusion: We support the capacity of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to predict UC progression from longitudinal microbiome data, and verify the strength of autoencoder networks in selecting features from high dimensional data.
Evaluating the Impact of Alcohol Control Interventions on Suicide Mortality Rates
Authors: Feng Xinyang , Jiang Huan
Published: November 2021

Introduction & Objective: Given that the impact of regulatory and public policy initiatives cannot usually be tested through traditional randomized controlled trial designs, well-selected, -designed, and -analyzed natural experiments are the method of choice when examining the effects of such enactments on a variety of outcomes. The classic methodology for such evaluations is interrupted time-series (ITS) analysis, which is considered as one of the quasi-experimental designs that use both pre- and post-policy data without randomization. This study tests the impact of alcohol control interventions implemented in different period of times on suicide mortality rates among people 25-74 years of age using ITS.

Methods: We mainly use the generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) to capture trend and seasonality in suicide mortality rates while controlling for unemployment rates, financial crisis during 2007-2008, and legal alcohol consumption records. Given the notable differences in alcohol consumption and suicide mortality between males and females, all analyses are conducted gender-specifically.

Results: The ITS shows that the intervention introduced in 2017 has a significant effect on reducing suicide mortality rates for males between 25 and 74. Following the implementation of the intervention, suicide mortality rates decreased by 23.8% (95% CI: 10.2% - 35.4%) on average.

Conclusion: The alcohol control intervention that strictly increased the excise tax on alcohol products has been shown to have a strong impact on reducing suicide mortality rates among male adults 25-74 years of age. ITS analyses are one of the strongest evaluative designs and allow a more detailed assessment of the longitudinal impact of an intervention than may be possible with a randomized control trial.

Objective: To gather informal evidence on the Canadian community’s knowledge of the history and matters of Indigenous Peoples of Canada and identify gaps in education and awareness.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed through a structured and anonymous questionnaire that was completed on a voluntary basis. Knowledge gained from partnering with Indigenous members of the community and participating in a blanket exercise was used to produce questions surrounding current and historical matters of Indigenous peoples of Canada. The blanket exercise is an Indigenous-led educational program that tells the story of Canadian history from an Indigenous lens. The inclusion criteria for the study was individuals enrolled in a primary and/or secondary Canadian educational institution and non-Indigenous self-identification. The survey sample most closely represents individuals between 18 to 24 years old in the population.

Results: The target demographic scored an average of 54.4% on knowledge-based survey questions. Most individuals answered questions more accurately on topics relating to historical facts, such as the content of the Indian Act, than they did on topics relating to current Indigenous issues, like percent of land mass occupied by Indigenous peoples. Despite indicating primary and secondary schooling as the main source of education on Indigenous history, 86% of participants found their education “limited” and “inadequate”. Results of the survey do not definitively represent the Canadian population, as this was an informal study completed on a voluntary basis.

Conclusion: Survey results highlighted gaps in the Canadian population’s knowledge on challenges faced by Indigenous members of Canada. Many respondents recognized an inadequate primary and/or secondary education on Indigenous issues, suggesting a need for educational reform. Increasing awareness on Indigenous matters can potentially reduce discrimination and systemic racism, which can improve social determinants of health. This data can serve as an informal basis of knowledge until further research is conducted.
