Published: July 2021

Introduction: As a tropical country, Indonesia has the potential to influence the characteristics of infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to see how the pattern of pneumonia on various weather components such as rainfall, humidity, and temperature.Methods: This study was carried by retrospective screening in the infectious ward in one of the tertiary referral hospitals.Results: A total of 876 cases of pneumonia from eight treatment rooms were included in the study. The highest pneumonia cases occurred in February with 239 (27.2%) cases followed in April and May with 169 (19.2%) and 159 (18.2%) cases respectively. After microbiological examination, bacterial growth was found in 191 cases. The highest number of bacteria was found in February with 62 (32%), followed by May with 33 (17.2%) and April with 31 (16.2%) samples. Most of the bacterial grown were gram-negative (94.3%), dominated by Klebsiella pneumoniae (35%), followed by Acinetobacter baumanii 17.2%  and Pseudomonas aeruginosa  12%. On the examination of antibiotic sensitivity, it was found that amikacin has a consistently high sensitivity (90%) for pneumonia caused by most bacterial causes (Acinetobacter baumanii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli).Conclusion: The study did not show any remarkable bacterial patterns based on weather components such as rainfall, humidity, and temperature during the rainy season. However, increasing the surveillance period will provide a better insight into the bacterial pattern and can compare it in the rainy and dry seasons.

Eosin-Methylene Blue (EMB) in order to isolate gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) as the contamination level indicator. Microbes identified with gram staining and observed under a light microscope. The result  reported into 5 categories: microbes were founded or not in the petri dishes, determine whether lactose fermentation/acid production can be observed, grade the microbes concentration founded in the petri dishes (grade 1-6), classify the level of contamination (low-high), describing colonies shape in EMB agar and identifying the microbes with gram staining. The results was at the student center’s canteen 3 of 5 samples under 5 seconds are positive and 5 of 7 samples until 300 seconds are positive. The level of contamination was inconsistent with increasing time. Whereas in the diagnostic center’s canteen 12 of 12 samples were all positives, regardless of time. In conclusion, the five-second rule is a significant oversimplification of what actually happens when bacteria transfer from a surface to food. Risk of transfer of contamination is constantly present regardless of time.

Depression is a mental disorder with a relatively high prevalence rate in medical students around the world. Medical students are often faced with a variety of pressures ranging from academic to social stress so that the prevalence of depression in medical students tends to be higher than general population. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the prevalence of depression in medical students at Airlangga University. This research was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample used was 86 first-year medical students at Airlangga University, Indonesia in the academic year of 2017/2018. The data collection was carried out using Beck Depression Inventory II questionnaires as a measurement instrument. The data was analyzed by descriptive univariate using SPSS 16.0. From 86 samples obtained from first-year students, 37.20% of them experienced mental conditions that were considered abnormal (mean score of 10.14 ± 7.093), starting from mild mood disturbance (23.26%) to the most severe category, severe depression (1.16%). There was no extreme depression category in this study. Furthermore, mean score of male subjects is 8.57 ± 6.120 while mean score of female subjects is 10.64 ± 7.351. This study revealed that the prevalence of depression in first-year medical students at Airlangga University in the second semester of academic year 2017/2018  is quite high, which is more than one third of the total respondents while the prevalence in female subjects is higher than in male subjects.
TRAIN HEADWAY OPTIMISATION USING VIRTUAL BLOCKS
Authors: IRLIK Maciej
Published: July 2021

Although the implementation of a new Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system increases the safety level, it also exerts some impact on the blocking time in block sections, and consequently, on the headway between trains. At the same time, ATP systems introduce a train positioning system based on odometry calculation and reporting back to the trackside system. This paper describes the concept of using virtual blocks based on train position reporting in the ATP system for purposes of non-occupancy determination. Virtual blocks can be used to reduce headways on railway lines without increasing the number of trackside signalling devices. Preliminary capacity assessment was performed to calculate the average headway depending on the signalling system with reference to a case study.
SAFETY OF TRANSPORT OPERATIONS PERFORMED USING PALLET LOAD UNITS
Authors: MATYJA Tomasz
Published: July 2021

During transport operations, even under normal operating conditions, the loading unit is subject to inertial forces, which may cause deformation of the unit, and in extreme cases, its disintegration. Stretch film wrapping is the most commonly used method of securing a load unit. This paper presents a new simplified simulation model of a class A load unit, with a layered structure, secured with stretch film. Between the layers of packaging, stick-slip friction was applied. A method of estimating the containment force was also proposed. This model can be used to pre-determine the number of film layers necessary to ensure load stability. Simulations can reduce the amount of film used and the number of stability tests performed experimentally.

Published: July 2021

Modern vehicles are equipped with many systems that monitor the security of driving. An example is the tyre pressure monitoring system that shows a fault if the tyre pressure is lowered. Low tyre pressure or no pressure at all (0 kPa) means that continuing driving may lead to a dangerous situation. Prolonged driving of the vehicle at 0 kPa in the tyre ends with tyre burst, rim damage, or even loss of stability. Therefore, on the automotive market, manufacturers offer Run Flat tyres adapted to emergency driving with a pressure of 0 kPa. This article presents the results of an experimental research in the field of vehicle dynamics, continuing driving a vehicle with a loss of tyre pressure. These tests were carried out not only to confirm the data provided by tyre manufacturers and to verify the vehicle's driveability but also to analyse the effectiveness of stopping vehicles equipped with this type of tyres using, for example, police studs, especially when vehicles are used for crimes or terrorist activities.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS SURFICIAL POLLUTANTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION ON SURFACE FRICTION PERFORMANCE OF ROAD PAVEMENT
Authors: KHABIRI Mohammad Mehdi , AFKHAMY MEYBODI Pooya , MONTAZERI Ali Mohammad
Published: July 2021

Skip resistance of asphalt is an important parameter that can influence the safety of drivers on roads. Although there is a linear relationship between slipping on road surfaces and accidents, the impacts of pollutants for decreasing friction of roads is clear to researchers. Moisture and temperature influence friction and safety. In this research in SMA samples, three different gradations with the maximum nominal sizes of 19, 12.5 and 9.5, based on international standards were used. For polluting the surface, five materials that are found on roads were used, including fine-grained soil, sand, oil, soot and rubber powder. To measure the skip resistance, the British pendulum tester was used and for analysing macro-texture, the sand patch method was used. The results of this research showed that by increasing the maximum nominal size of aggregates, the depth of macro-texture in surfaces are grown and this is due to the decrease of fine aggregates in larger gradations. Because of the higher flexibility of pure bitumen, the applied compression pressure on rigid aggregates can cause indentations in the substrate and result in declining the roughness height of aggregates in the mixed surface. This leads to declining the hysteresis part of friction by increasing temperature.

Authors: Marković Suzana
Published: July 2021

U radu se prikazuju rezultati kvalitativne primjene SERVQUAL modela (Parasuraman ct al„ 1988.) u hotelskoj industriji. Istraživanje je provedeno u svibnju 2002. godine, na prigodnom uzorku od devet menadžera u hotelima Opatijske rivijere. U ispitivanju menadžera koristila su se dva strukturirana i jedan polustrukturirani SERVQUAL upitnik. Cilj ovog eksplorativnog istraživanja bio je: (a) ispitati kako menadžeri ocjenjuju karakteristike hotelskih usluga, tj. koje dimenzije kvalitete usluga smatraju najvažnijim, (b) izmjeriti percepciju menadžera o kvaliteti usluga u hotelu općenito i o procesima unutar hotela, (c) saznati da li postoje jazovi u internoj kvaliteti usluga u hotelu, te (d) dobiti uvid u probleme hotelske prakse i postizanje boljeg razumijevanja pojava, situacija i događaja, što sve olakšava i pomaže u rješavanju problema. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da menadžeri pridaju najveću važnost izgledu hotelskog objekta, hotelske opreme, hotelskog osoblja i promotivnog materijala, dok najmanje važnim smatraju susretljivost hotelskog osoblja. Na temelju prethodno rečenog, dolazi se do zaključka da hotelski menadžeri ne poznaju dobro očekivanja i percepciju hotelskih gostiju.

Authors: Stankova Mariya
Published: July 2021

Bulgaria’s recent experience as tourism country raised the question about the importance of its tourism regions, and the effectiveness of marketing and advertising strategies. Very weak results were achieved about the “new” tourism region planning. The priority based in 2007 NTA (National Tourism Agency) – the regulator which is controlling the tourism policies in Bulgaria, defined the plan for contemporary needs about tourism planning of regions and the usage of that regions for observation, planning and tourism development. It is also about the marketing and advertising activities of the internal and external markets, moreover creating the suitable organizing structures and coordinating of advertising and its tourism policies which is separated in regions is needed. Those policies in tourism must be in regulation and stimulation.

Authors: Colakoglu lker , Culha Osman , Atay Hakan
Published: July 2021

Previous studies mainly analysed the relationship between perceived organisational support and organisational commitment in a direct way. Limited studies of tourism, however, have found that job satisfaction is a mediator variable in the relationship between perceived organisational support and organisational commitment. The aim of this study is, (i) to analyse the effect of organisational support on job satisfaction, (ii) to analyse the effect of organisational support on the dimensions of organisational commitment, (iii) to analyse the effect of job satisfaction on the dimensions of organisational commitment, and (iv) to analyse the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between perceived organisational support and dimensions of organisational commitment based on an empirical study. The relationship between the variables was analysed by using a multivariate data analysis. Besides this, in the study, the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between perceived organisational support and the dimensions of organisational commitment was analysed by the technique recommended by Baron and Kenny (1986) and the Sobel test. The findings indicated that perceived organisational support had a significant positive effect on job satisfaction, affective, normative and continuous commitment. Job satisfaction had a significant positive effect on affective, normative and continuous commitment as well. Besides this, job satisfaction played a partial mediating role between perceived organisational support and dimensions of organisational commitment. Implications were presented for hotel managers who want to keep and encourage their employees to work in the hotel industry.
A Multifaceted Challenge to Enhance Multi-Criteria Decision Support for Energy Policy
Authors: Kluczek Aldona , Krysiak Magdalena
Published: July 2021

The last half of the 20th century was characterized by the most impactful ecosystem changes throughout regulations and guidelines minimalizing environmental harms. Many of them emphasize the importance of enterprise sustainability for renewable energy policy. When dealing with numerous alternatives for the implementation of renewables-based policy, decision-makers need to analyze their impacts on environmental, economic, and social dimensions from a long-term perspective. The aim of this paper is to highlight a challenge to apply the multi-criteria sustainability decision-making framework (MDCA) to mainstream energy policy. The integrative framework covers an approach for the needs of analyzing factors influencing the energy technology selection. In this study, the MDCA-approach combines lifecycle-based methods, Analytical Hierarchy Process, PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environment and Legal). To demonstrate the applicability and usability of the method three photovoltaic technologies are assessed. The results showed that string ribbon technology is the most sustainable along its life cycle, with a 0.503 sustainability score. The study highlighted the need to embody robust methodologies assessing sustainability-oriented technologies, not used anymore for supporting energy policies. This challenge regarding example evidence can give energy decision-makers a tool to realize their energy policy and in consequence, enhance enterprise sustainability.
Neural Correlates of Aberrant Salience and Source Monitoring in Schizophrenia and at-Risk Mental States - A Systematic Review of fMRI Studies
Authors: Kowalski Joachim , Aleksandrowicz Adrianna , Dąbkowska Małgorzata , Gawęda Łukasz
Published: July 2021

Cognitive biases are an important factor contributing to the development and symptom severity of psychosis. Despite that various cognitive biases are contributing to psychosis, they are rarely investigated together. In the current systematic review, we aimed at investigating specific and shared neural correlates of two important cognitive biases: aberrant salience and source monitoring. We conducted a systematic search of fMRI studies of said cognitive biases. Eight studies on aberrant salience and eleven studies on source monitoring were included in the review. We critically discussed behavioural and neuroimaging findings concerning cognitive biases. Various brain regions are associated with aberrant salience and source monitoring in individuals with schizophrenia and the risk of psychosis. Ventral striatum and insula contribute to aberrant salience. The medial prefrontal cortex, superior and middle temporal gyrus contribute to source monitoring. The anterior cingulate cortex and hippocampus contribute to both cognitive biases, constituting a neural overlap. Our review indicates that aberrant salience and source monitoring may share neural mechanisms, suggesting their joint role in producing disrupted external attributions of perceptual and cognitive experiences, thus elucidating their role in positive symptoms of psychosis. Account bridging mechanisms of these two biases is discussed. Further studies are warranted.

PENDEKATAN PARSIAL-SIMULTAN DAN ANALISIS INDUKTIF: Metode Efektif Penelusuran dan Pemahaman Hadis Prasangka
Authors: Izzah Lathifatul
Published: July 2021

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis penelusuran hadis dalam membuktikan keotentikan hadis-hadis prasangka riwayat Abu Hurairah yang di-takhrij al-Bukhari melalui pendekatan parsial dan simultan, dan menganalisis fiqhul hadits-nya. Pendekatan parsial yang dipakai dalam menguji keotentikan hadis prasangka dilakukan dengan cara menguji ke-tsiqah-an para periwayat, menguji persambungan sanad, dan menguji matan hadis. Sedang pendekatan simultan dilakukan dengan cara menelusuri, menganalisis, dan menyimpulkan peran hadis tawabi’ dan shawahid. Hadis prasangka riwayat Abu Hurairah yang di-takhrij al-Bukhari merupakan hadis yang berkualitas sahih lidhatih. Disamping itu, hadis ini juga adalah hadis masyhur berdasarkan penelitian tawabi’ dan syawahid-nya. Hadis ini juga memberikan pemahaman pada umat Islam agar menghindari prasangka buruk. Prasangka merupakan perkataan yang paling dusta. Prasangka buruk akan melahirkan ketidakpercayaan, apologetik, klaim kebenaran (truth claim), pelabelaan negatif, dan diskriminasi. Semua itu umumnya berujung pada konflik, tindak kekerasan, dan pertumpahan darah, bukan perdamaian, keharmonisan dan persaudaraan. Pemahaman ini diperoleh dengan cara analisis induktif.

[Partial-Simultan Approach and Inductive Analysis: An Effective Method of Searching and Understanding Prejudicial Hadith. This paper aims to describe and analyze the tracing of the hadiths in proving the authenticity of Abu Hurairah's prejudiced hadiths that were taken by al Bukhari through partial and simultaneous approaches, and to analyze his fiqhul hadith. The partial approach used in testing the authenticity of prejudiced hadith is carried out by examining the authenticity of the narrators, examining the continuity of the sanad, and examining the obedience of the hadith. Meanwhile, the simultaneous approach is carried out by tracing, analyzing, and concluding the role of tawabi 'and shawahid hadiths. The prejudiced hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah which was takhrij al Bukhari are hadiths that has a quality sahih lidhatih. Besides that, this hadith is also a famous hadith based on the research of the tawabi 'and his syawahid. The hadith also gave an understanding to Muslims in order to avoid prejudice. Prejudice is the most lying word. Bad prejudice will give birth to distrust, apologetics, truth claims, negative labeling, and discrimination. All of this generally leads to conflict, violence and bloodshed, not peace, harmony and brotherhood. This understanding is obtained by means of inductive analysis.]
Direitos humanos e justiça de transição: a Comissão Nacional da Verdade e o resgate das feridas sociais advindas da ditadura militar brasileira
Authors: Lima Pedro Rodrigo Campelo , Cardoso Juraciara Vieira
Published: July 2021

O presente trabalho se direciona à temática da Comissão Nacional da Verdade (CNV), criada pela Lei n. 12.528/2011, para discutir o processo de resgate das violações de direitos humanos sofridas por brasileiros e estrangeiros em território nacional durante o período de ditadura militar no país (1964 – 1985). O ponto de partida para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa é o reconhecimento de que a CNV, ao longo de seus trabalhos, não foi capaz de realizar um efetivo debate público com a sociedade, de modo a possibilitar que a população tomasse conhecimento dos crimes contra a humanidade cometidos no país durante os anos de exceção e questionasse as heranças deixadas pela ditadura militar. Dessa forma, busca-se discutir, a partir de uma pesquisa exploratória baseada em levantamento bibliográfico, de que maneira os acontecimentos poderiam ter sido resgatados e discutidos pela CNV à luz das experiências de países que também viveram regimes de exceção, como a África do Sul e a Alemanha.

Authors: Shamseer C Muhammed , Pandiyan Alagu , Rao P Anush , Shafeekh Muhammed , Theruvil Bipin
Published: July 2021

Case:

We report 2 patients who were involved in high-velocity road traffic accidents. Both these patients had congenital pubic diastasis with very subtle clinical and radiological signs that were misdiagnosed as posttraumatic diastasis on initial radiographic evaluation.

Conclusion:

Trauma surgeons should be aware of this anomaly because congenital pubic diastasis could present without any major clinical signs and could easily be mistaken for a traumatic diastasis.
Nontraumatic Bilateral Recurrent Peroneal Tendon Dislocation with Pes Planovalgus
Authors: Kimura Tadashi , Kubota Makoto , Hattori Hidekazu , Saito Mitsuru
Published: July 2021

Case:

Peroneal tendon dislocation is a relatively infrequent problem. Most cases are traumatic, and nontraumatic cases are rare. In this case, a 21-year-old man had nontraumatic bilateral recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation on standing and pes planovalgus. We performed medial displacement osteotomy of the calcaneus for the pes planovalgus and reattachment of the retinaculum and groove deepening for the peroneal tendon dislocations.

Conclusion:

The dislocations were attributed to the force of the tendon riding up the lateral malleolus on standing because of pes planovalgus. A good outcome was achieved by surgical intervention for both the pes planovalgus and peroneal tendon dislocations.
Effects of geologic outcrops on long-term geomorphic trends : New Madrid, MO, to Hickman, KY
Authors: Dahl Travis , Giles Justin , Staebell Kathleen , Biedenharn David , Dunbar Joseph
Published: July 2021

The Mississippi River between New Madrid, MO, and Hickman, KY, is of particular interest because of divergent trends in water surface profiles at the upstream and downstream ends of the reach. This report documents the investigation of the bathymetry, geology, and hydraulics of this segment of the river. The report shows that the area near River Mile 901 above Head of Passes strongly affects the river stages at low flows. This part of the river can experience high shear stresses when flows fall below 200,000 cfs, as opposed to most other locations where shear stress increases with flow. One-dimensional hydraulic modeling was also used to demonstrate that an increase of depth at a single scour hole, such as the one downstream from Hickman near River Mile 925, is unlikely to cause reach-wide degradation.
What is a Library Website, Anyway? Reconsidering Dominant Conceptual Models
Authors: Paterson Amy
Published: July 2021

In late 2019, Thompson Rivers University embarked on a multi-phase website usability project beginning with a website user survey, to be followed shortly afterward by usability testing and interviews. While the survey was completed as planned, the COVID-19 pandemic closed the library and interrupted the usability testing phase. This interruption and the frantic website changes that followed led me to consider survey findings within the context of differing conceptual models of the library website as a whole. This study explores a number of conceptual models of the library website in further depth, considering evidence from both the existing literature and the user survey in addition to the researcher’s own experience making post-COVID website updates. Particular models that are examined include Website as Research Portal, Website as Extension or Representation of the physical library, and Website as Library Branch. Each of these conceptual models has different implications on priorities, structure, purpose, and resource allocation. Rather than considering the models of library employees superior or more advanced than those of students, I contend that an awareness of myriad ways to understand the website can best bridge the gap between library employees and other users. The study concludes that while there is no perfect model of the library website, considering and communicating our models may sharpen collegial decision-making structures and create greater unity of purpose within the library.

The article is devoted to the study of the content of the category "human potential" and the basics of its management. According to the results of the study, it was found that the socio-economic conditions of the state directly affect the quality of human potential formation at all levels. In addition, the process of formation of the human potential of the region must be the basis for the formation of such a potential at all levels. Qualitative formation of human potential will directly affect not only the formation of other potentials of economic systems, but also the total human capital of the state as one of the most important components of national wealth.

—We consider results of measurements of thermal conductivity, porosity, and permeability for 780 samples of Mesozoic sandstones and siltstones from the cores of 50 wells drilled in three southern regions of the West Siberian Plate (Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions, Surgut region of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area). The thermal conductivity of the samples was measured twice: in dry and in water-saturated states. It has been established that the thermal conductivity of water-saturated rocks is on average 20–40% higher. The thermal conductivities of dry and water-saturated samples show stable correlations between each other and with the sample porosity and permeability. These correlations can be used for the approximate estimation of the thermal conductivity of water-saturated rocks from the measured thermal conductivity of dry samples or even from the porosity values. The relationship between thermal conductivity and porosity can be used for the rapid assessment of rock porosity from the measured thermal conductivity of the core.

—The mineralogy and contents of major and trace elements (including REE+Y) in bulk samples and separate size fractions of caviar-like ironstones from the Kamysh-Burun deposit (Kerch iron province) are studied to estimate the contributions of different REE+Y species to the total budget. The analyzed ore samples contain MREE adsorbed on Fe3+-(oxy)hydroxides, as well as LREE authigenic phosphates. The predominant rhabdophane-type (Ce(PO4)⋅nH2O) phases are enriched in La, Pr, Nd, and Ca, depleted in Ce, and free from Th. The REE carriers belong to solid solution series of two main types: LREE(PO4)·nH2O – (Ca,Ce,Th)(PO4)·H2O (rhabdophane-like phase and brockite) or LREE(PO4)·nH2O – (Ca,U,Fe3+)((PO4),(SO4))·2H2O (rhabdophane-like phase and tristramite). REE phosphates occur most often in the ≤ 0.25 mm fractions of ironstones, where average and maximum ΣREE contents (Xav = 606–1954 ppm; Xmax = 769–3011 ppm) are comparable with the respective amounts in the Chinese industrial clay-type REE deposits. The Kerch ores are commercially attractive unconventional resources of highly demanded Pr and Nd: they can be extracted at relatively low costs, due to high Pr/Ce and Nd/Ce ratios, while low Th and U reduce the environmental risks from stockpiled wastes.

The rumen biohydrogenation of dietary unsaturated fatty acids has an important effect on the final compositional quality of ruminant meat and milk. Hence, diverse methodological approaches have been developed to understand and modulate this biochemical process that occurs in the rumen. Therefore, in the current method article, a protocol is presented to conduct an in vitro assay for understanding the biohydrogenation of dietary fatty acids in the rumen. The protocol enabled the evaluation of the effects of different relationships between linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids in supplements on the production of fatty acid intermediaries derived from the biohydrogenation of these unsaturated fatty acids in the rumen, with satisfactory results.

Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a major concern for its use as drinking water and crop irrigation in many regions of the world. Arsenic is absorbed by rice plants from arsenic contaminated water during irrigation, hampers growth and agricultural productivity. The aim of the study was to mitigate the activity of TCA cycle, synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and polyamines (PAs) in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. MTU-1010) seedlings under arsenate (As-V) stress [25 µM, 50 µM and 75 µM] by silicon (Si) [2 mM] and selenium (Se) [5 µM] amendments, and to investigate which chemical was more potential to combat this threat. As(V) application decreased the activities of tested respiratory enzymes while the levels of organic acids (OAs) were increased in the test seedlings. Co-application of Si and As(V) increased the activities of respiratory enzymes, consequently further increased accumulation of OAs that were more than Se with As(V) application in the test seedlings. GABA accumulation along with the activities of its regulatory enzymes were enhanced under As(V) stress. During joint application of Si and As(V) and Se and As(V) said parameters were decreased showing defensive role of these chemicals to resist As(V) toxicity in rice but amendment of Si was more potential than Se amendment resulted reduction of stress induced damage in the test seedlings. PAs trigger tolerance mechanism against stress in plants. PAs viz., Putrescine, spermidine and spermine were synthesized more during Si and Se amendments in As(V) contaminated rice seedlings to combat the effect of stress. Si amendment substantially modulated the toxic effects caused by As(V) over Se amendment in As(V) challenged test seedlings. Thus in future application Si enriched fertilizer will be beneficial than application of Se enriched fertilizer to grow rice plants with normal vigor in arsenic contaminated soil.

Background:Scholars in developed and emerging economies have widely tested the interactions between foreign direct investment, financial development, economic growth and environmental degradation. Despite a number of empirical and review studies, it is not yet wrap up either the associations are negative, positive, direct or indirect. Additionally, minor attention is given to the indirect role of foreign direct investment in environmental degradation; perhaps no study has yet demonstrated the mediating role of financial development and economic growth between foreign direct investment and environmental degradation in Asian economies. Referring to the fragmented outputs and consequences as well as lacking the indirect role, the present study examines the influence of foreign direct investment on environmental degradation with the mediating role of financial development and economic growth. Results:Secondary data of 21 Asian countries from 1980-2018 were gathered from World Bank Indicators and then performed STATA to test the paths. Our findings are slightly different from the studies conducted in developed economies. The results indicate that foreign direct investment significantly improves environmental quality by deteriorating environmental pollution. It also significantly improves economic growth in the selected regions. Surprisingly, our study shows that foreign direct investment has a significant negative influence on financial development in the Asian regions. Both financial development and economic growth significantly negatively influence environmental degradation in Asian regions. However, financial development partially mediates while economic growth does not play any mediating role between foreign direct investment and environmental degradation in the Asian countries. Trade openness and population growth as control factors do not show any significant role in the model. Conclusions:This research recommends policymakers to focus on the inflow of foreign direct investment in order to enhance economic growth and environmental quality. It is strongly suggested for policymakers to attenuate the political intervention (e.g. ensure the political stability) in the inflow of foreign direct investment, so financial resources can be impartially distributed in the industrial sector and thus the nations will have an effective financial development system. Other implications have described.

BackgroundLumbar disc herniation (LDH) is one of the common diseases in orthopedics and traumatology, which is caused by nucleus pulposus herniation stimulating cauda equina nerve, nerve root and intervertebral disc degeneration. Its clinical manifestations are low back pain, radiation pain of lower limbs and cauda equina symptoms, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. At present, oral analgesics are commonly used in clinical non drug therapy for LDH, but oral analgesics will produce gastrointestinal reactions and other side effects. Thunder-fire moxibustion is one kind of moxibustion method, which has been applied widely for treating pain syndromes in China. The aim of our research is to design a randomized controlled trial of thunder-fire moxibustion in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation to explore whether it is safer and more effective than oral analgesic drugs.Methods90 patients will be randomly divided into thunder-fire moxibustion group and acetaminophen group. The intervention included 10 days as a course of treatment, lasting for 20 days. The acetaminophen group took two acetaminophen sustained-release tablets every other day, while the thunder fire moxibustion group will be treated with thunder fire moxibustion once every other time for 30 minutes. Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and oswestry disability index (ODI) will be used as the main the observation indexes. Meanwhile, the occurrence of adverse events (AES) will also be recorded. The assessment will be conducted at baseline and at the end of the first and second course of treatment.DiscussionThe aim of this study is to determine whether thunder-fire moxibustion is more effective than acetaminophen in the treatment of patients with LDH.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn), ChiCTR2000036079.
