Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are clinical infections caused by pathogens and transmitted from one person to another through unprotected sexual contact. Based on an initial survey conducted on 10 adolescents. There are (40%) who have a poor category. This is still far adrift of the Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) data indicators according to (Bekasi District Health Office, 2021) in 2018 with (65.21%). To determine the effect of knowledge level on the risk behavior of sexually transmitted infections in adolescents at SMPI Al-Munir Bekasi in 2024. This study is an Experimental One Group Education by comparing Pre-Test and Post-Test using a questionnaire. The sampling method used total sampling. The sample of this study was class VIII students (early adolescent phase) as many as 72 adolescents. There is a significant effect of knowledge level on the risk behavior of sexually transmitted infections in adolescents at SMPI AL-Munir Bekasi with (p-value 0.05). After educating the level of knowledge (Pre-Test), and (Post-Test) there was an increase in the average score (mean). While in risk behavior there is a decrease in the average score (mean). Thus the higher the level of knowledge, the lower the STI risk behavior. It is expected that adolescents will be more active in adding information and participating in reproductive health education to increase knowledge. Keywords: Adolescents, STIs, Level of Knowledge, Behavior  ABSTRAK Infeksi menular seksual (IMS) merupakan infeksi klinis yang disebabkan oleh patogen dan ditularkan dari satu orang ke orang lain melalui kontak seksual tanpa kondom. Berdasarkan survei awal yang dilakukan pada 10 remaja. Terdapat (40%) yang memiliki kategori kurang baik. Hal ini masih terpaut jauh dari indikator data Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) menurut (Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Bekasi, 2021) tahun 2018 dengan (65,21%).

ABSTRACT The completeness of electronic health and medical record filling by health workers is a fundamental aspect that impacts the overall quality and efficiency of healthcare systems. As the use of electronic health records (EHRs) becomes increasingly prevalent, understanding research trends related to the completeness of these records is crucial. This bibliometric analysis seeks to provide an in-depth examination of the research landscape concerning EHR completeness by analyzing publication trends, geographical contributions, journal types, and research topic networks. Utilizing bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer, the study spans from 2019 to 2024, offering insights into the evolution of research in this field. The results reveal a notable increase in publication volume over the years, with a significant peak in 2022, indicating a growing academic interest in this subject. The United States and South Africa are identified as major contributors, while other countries like Indonesia and Brazil also show substantial research activity. The majority of the research is published in the form of research articles, although literature reviews, books, and conference papers also contribute to the body of work. Key research clusters identified include themes on the accuracy and completeness of records, factors influencing system quality, and adherence to EHR usage. Overlay and density visualizations illustrate an evolving focus within the research community, highlighting increased attention to quality factors and the challenges related to EHR system implementation and adherence. This analysis provides valuable insights into current research trends, emphasizing the need to address existing gaps and integrate findings from various research clusters. Future research should focus on exploring underrepresented areas and combining insights across different domains to enhance the overall effectiveness of EHR systems. By addressing these gaps, researchers can contribute to improving data entry processes and system implementation, ultimately leading to better healthcare outcomes. Keywords: Electronic Health Records, Completeness, Bibliometric Analysis, Research Trends, Health Workers
Support Group for Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases and How to Build Intimation Within Them: A Literature Review
Authors: Cahyati Ai , Nurachmah Elly , Masfuri Masfuri , Siregar Kemal N.
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a deadly disease and patients need to adhere to a self-care management program for the rest of their lives. Many patients fail to maintain their condition and require re-hospitalization which is assumed due to lack of support. Support groups are a continuity of care effort for patients with cardiovascular disease that are useful as a place for sharing, education, and recreation. This paper aims to gather information and analyze evidence-based information regarding the role of support groups for cardiovascular patients and how to build intimacy in these support groups. The method is based on a literature review of relevant databases surrounding intimacy in support groups for patients with cardiovascular disease. The results of the study showed that support group activities can be organized by peer groups or professional groups which are carried out online or offline. The success of a support group as a medium for changing patient behavior depends on the intimacy/closeness that is formed within the group itself. The intimacy that can be seen from members feeling the need for a support group is the potential for support group activities to last a long time. A support group with a climate of intimacy has been formed to provide continuity of care for cardiovascular disease patients. Support groups that have established intimacy between group members are very necessary for patients with CVD to increase compliance and prevent readmission. Keywords: Support Group; Intimacy; Cardiovascular Disease
L'habitat des élites romaines dans les suburbia d'Aquitaine méridionale : approches géographiques et morphologiques
Authors: Cabes Sébastien , Pace Benoit
Published: December 2024

Comment définir les aires suburbaines ? Peut-on identifier un modèle type ? Existe-t-il un ensemble de marqueurs suffisamment pertinents pour essayer de systématiser le processus d’identification dans les différentes provinces de l’Empire romain ? Existe-t-il des établissements de natures et/ou de formes particulières dans ces espaces ? Toutes ces questions ne sont pas nouvelles. Elles ont été, chacune à leur façon, abordées par de nombreux chercheurs au cours de ces quinze/vingt dernières années. La méthode de recherche est toujours identique : partir des auteurs latins et de leur regard sur les environs de Rome et/ou des agglomérations les plus importantes d’Italie pour tenter de dégager suffisamment de points de comparaison avec les données archéologiques disponibles autours des villes connues et y faire coller ce « modèle » – ou tout du moins afin d’approcher une certaine définition de ces fameux suburbia.
L’exercice n’est jamais simple, puisque la plupart des villes actuelles recouvrent aujourd’hui l’essentiel de ces espaces suburbains antiques. Le développement de l’archéologie préventive a toutefois permis de renouveler nos appréhensions et livrer çà et là – au travers de fenêtres réduites – des éléments de réponses tout à fait pertinents indiquant que l’urbain, le suburbain et le rural se côtoyaient de façon très étroite pour ne pas dire via des interfaces extrêmement perméables. Ceci est probablement encore plus vrai pour l’Aquitaine méridionale / Novempopulanie, où les agglomérations actuellement connues se caractérisent par de très faibles emprises spatiales largement ouvertes sur les espaces ruraux, ainsi que par des infrastructures que certains antiquisant auraient bien de la peine à définir comme propre au monde urbain. A ce jour, la recherche sur les aires suburbaines reste largement inédite en Aquitaine méridionale. Nous proposons donc humblement d’y poser les premiers jalons, en abordant cette problématique sous l’angle conjoint de la géomatique et de l’architecture des uillae suburbanae. Nous utiliserons ici un jeu de données encore globalement inédit, issues de nos thèses respectives ainsi que celles de la base nationale Patriarche. L’objectif étant de dégager un ensemble de marqueurs et de critères probants pour aider à la définition de ces espaces si particuliers et mouvants.

Published: December 2024

Celem tego badania jest przeprowadzenie metaanalizy wyników 146 pierwotnych badań, w których sprawdzono, w jaki sposób trzy kategorie nadzoru korporacyjnego – struktura własności (OS), gatekeepers (G) oraz charakterystyki osób zarządzających (MC) – wpływają na realne manipulowanie zyskami (REM). Zastosowanie metaregresji (MRA), która jest metodą łączenia i analizowania danych z wielu badań, pozwala na uwzględnienie efektów z badań pierwotnych, ich podsumowanie oraz wyjaśnienie zmienności tych efektów. Średnie wartości współczynników korelacji cząstkowej między kategoriami nadzoru korporacyjnego a REM nie są statystycznie istotne. Wyniki analizy heterogeniczności pokazują jednak, że własność rodzinna i insidersi mogą być pozytywnie powiązani z REM. Zainteresowanie analityków wydaje się mieć łagodzący wpływ na REM, podczas gdy jakość zewnętrznego audytora nie wykazuje istotnego wpływu. W badaniu zidentyfikowano kilka zmiennych moderujących, które wyjaśniają część heterogeniczności strukturalnej i metodologicznej w wynikach empirycznych. Wnioski dotyczące wykorzystania REM wspierają teorię agencji. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują potrzebę dalszej operacjonalizacji zmiennych oraz rozszerzenia analizy różnych składowych nadzoru korporacyjnego.
Carbon taxes in Europe do not hurt the poor
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Faculty of Economic Sciences, Brzeziński Michał , Kaczan Monika ,   University of Warsaw
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the distributional impacts of carbon taxes, traditionally
examined through simulation studies on the regressivity of hypothetical tax scenarios. However,
the dy-namic influence of actually implemented carbon taxes on consumption/income poverty
and inequality in a cross-country setting has been less scrutinised. This paper assesses the effect
of carbon taxes introduced in the past three decades in 15 European countries on consumption
shares of the lowest decile groups, poverty rates and inequality indices. The analysis shows that
a $40/ton CO2 tax covering 30% of emissions leads to a consumption share increase of up to 4%
for the bottom 20% and 40% of the population, a trend that persisted for five years post
implementation, particularly in nations that efficiently redistribute carbon tax revenues. This
resulted in a modest reduction in consumption inequality over three years. In contrast, the impact
of carbon taxes on income poverty and inequality is not statistically significant. These findings
suggest that concerns about poverty and inequality due to carbon taxes can be miti-gated by
implementing a moderate tax combined with a strategically efficient revenue redis-tribution
mechanism.

Published: December 2024

The thesis investigates the usage of Informer architecture for building automated
trading strategies for high frequency Bitcoin data. Two strategies using Informer models with
different loss functions, Quantile loss and Generalized Mean Absolute Directional Loss
(GMADL), are proposed and evaluated against the Buy and Hold benchmark and two benchmark
strategies based on technical indicators. The evaluation is conducted using data of various
frequencies: 5 minute, 15 minute, and 30 minute intervals, over the 6 different periods. Although
the Informer-based model with Quantile loss did not manage to outperform the benchmark, the
model that uses novel GMADL loss function turned out to be benefiting from higher frequency
data and beat all the other strategies on most of the testing periods. The primary contribution of
this study is the application and assessment of the Quantile and GMADL loss functions with the
Informer model to forecast future returns, subsequently using these forecasts to develop
automated trading strategies. The research provides evidence that employing an Informer model
trained with the GMADL loss function can result in superior trading outcomes compared to the
buy-and-hold approach.

The introduction of airborne laser scanning (ALS) technology in the Mediterranean region over the past decade has significantly increased opportunities for archaeological research. Archaeological remote sensing has proven to be a versatile tool with numerous applications beyond simple site mapping. One approach is the large-scale interpretation of ALS data, which allows for the analysis of the stratigraphic information contained within the data. This is particularly useful for analysing the rich remains of past land use in the karst landscapes of coastal Croatia. The Roman dry stone walls of the Kvarner islands of Krk and Cres serve as an example. These structures outline the framework backbone of Roman surveying; however, due to their poor state of preservation, many remains can only be identified through ALS data rather than aerial photography. An absolute chronology for these features was established using the OSL profiling and dating method (OSL-PD), providing a date range of AD 200 ± 100. These results can be considered the first clear evidence of surveying municipal lands on the Croatian islands.
Razvojni poremećaj kuka
Authors: Kokotović Tea
Published: December 2024

U arheološkim istraživanjima crkve sv. Luke Evanđeliste u Novskoj, osim ostataka crkve iz 13. stoljeća, ukupno su otkrivena 94 groba koji potječu iz dva horizonta pokopavanja; kasnosrednjovjekovnog i novovjekovnog. U fokusu ovoga radu je grob 16 koji datira iz razdoblja kasnog srednjeg vijeka. U radu su predstavljeni rezultati bioarheološke analize kosturnih ostataka pronađenih u grobu te diferencijalna dijagnoza na temelju promjena uočenih na području zdjelice i bedrenih kostiju. Pokojnik iz groba 16 bolovao je od razvojnog poremećaja kuka (RPK) koji je rezultirao dislokacijom oba zgloba. RPK se razvija u prvim godinama čovjekova života, a označava poremećaj normalnih anatomskih odnosa u zglobu kuka u kojemu je normalna artikulacija zgloba spriječena. Entezalne promjene uočene na gornjim ekstremitetima, u kombinaciji s RPK-om, otvaraju mogućnost da se osoba za kretanje služila štakama ili nekim drugim pomagalom. Bol uzrokovana RPK-om, kao i moguće korištenje štaka, svakako su utjecali na obavljanje svakodnevnih aktivnosti, pogotovo ako u obzir uzmemo ruralni karakter podneblja u kojem je osoba živjela.
Optimal Covariate Allocation in Asymmetrical Factorial Designs: A Comparative Analysis of Design Choices

Published: December 2024

Factorial designs play a crucial role in experimental research, enabling the examination of multiple factors and their influence on an outcome variable. This study delves into asymmetrical factorial designs, which are particularly useful when factors have differing numbers of levels. Expanding upon the work of Sinha et al. (2014, 2019), we examine a specific asymmetrical factorial design featuring two factors: one with two levels and the other with three, resulting in six distinct treatment combinations. We consider three design choices for assigning covariate values to these treatment pairs, aiming to optimize the estimation of treatment contrasts and two regression parameters. Each design offers a distinct covariate configuration, and we assess their efficiency through the information matrix and the average variance of treatment contrasts. The paper includes a comprehensive explanation of the statistical model, an evaluation of the information matrix and variance efficiency for each design, and a comparison of the average variance of treatment contrasts. Our results provide valuable insights into optimizing experimental designs in asymmetrical factorial contexts, emphasizing the trade-offs between various design strategies.

Controlling the k-FWER by Adaptive Modified Bonferroni Methods under the Discrete Framework
Authors: Giri Prapti , Biswas Aniket , Chattopadhyay Gaurangadeb
Published: December 2024

Family wise error rate (FWER) is an important measure of the overall Type-I error when multiple tests are performed simultaneously. For a positive integer , -FWER is the probability of rejecting at least  true null hypotheses. In this article, we present an adaptive version of the Bonferroni and the modified Bonferroni procedure for controlling -FWER by plugging-in an estimator of the proportion of true null hypotheses. We verify -FWER control of the adaptive methods empirically. Extensive simulation experiments exhibit the gain in power by the proposed methods over the existing methods for multiple discrete tests. We demonstrate applications of the proposed methods through two benchmark real-world datasets.

Published: December 2024

Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a leading cause of sepsis-related morbidity and mortality globally. We present the pathogenic agents of bloodstream infections, their antimicrobial susceptibilities, and associated outcomes, with a focus on drug-resistant cases.Methods: We included all adult patients admitted to B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences with blood culture-positive sepsis from July 2019 to June 2020. Blood cultures and antimicrobial susceptibility tests followed standard methods. Demographic, clinical, and microbiological data, including clinical outcomes, were documented. Patients were categorized into non-multidrug resistant (non-MDR), multidrug resistant (MDR), and extensively drug resistant (XDR) groups for analysis of clinical outcomes. Results: Of 5372 adult patients with suspected bloodstream infections, 475 (9%) had culture-positive infections with 536 organisms cultured. The median age of the patients was 42 (25-60) years, and 47% of the patients were women. There were 146 (31%) non-MDR, 220 (46%) MDR and 109 (23%) XDR cases. Common pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus (27%), Acinetobacter spp (20%), and Klebsiella spp (15%). The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 8% (38/475). Mortality was highest among XDR patients (53%), compared to MDR (29%) and non-MDR patients (18%) (p < 0.001). Patients in XDR group had longer hospital stays compared to MDR-BSI and non-MDR BSI patients (p=<0.001). After adjusting for risk factors, the odds ratio for in-hospital mortality in XDR patients was 2.52 (CI 1.11–5.72, p = 0.02). Conclusions: Drug-resistant pathogens are prevalent in our setting, causing bloodstream infection. Extensively drug-resistant bacteria in the blood are independently and significantly linked to increased mortality. Keywords: Bloodstream infections; clinical outcome; drug resistance.

Biopore holes are a practical technology for water conservation and retention, allowing rainwater to seep into the ground through specifically sized holes. This method aims to reduce surface flooding caused by rain runoff, while also retaining and transferring water to underground reservoirs. Additionally, it is cost-effective, easy to create, and multifunctional, as it helps manage waste and produce compost. Biopore holes can be implemented in residential areas, yards, or fields, making it particularly suitable for densely populated urban neighborhoods. One way to promote this is through educational outreach using visual aids in areas prone to flooding and waste accumulation, encouraging the use of affordable, effective, multifunctional, and environmentally friendly technologies. The outreach has already been conducted in Sukarami Village, aiming to enhance residents' understanding of independently creating biopore holes and their multiple ecological benefits.

Introduction: Patients with decompensated cirrhosis frequently develop acute kidney injury (AKI). It is observed in 40 to 80% of patients hospitalized for cirrhosis. It is often associated with poor prognosis. The objective of our study was to determine the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary profile of AKI in cirrhotic patients, the etiological factors and predictors of mortality.

Method: We conducted a descriptive, analytical and multicenter study over a period of 18 months (January 2021 – July 2022). All cirrhotic patients hospitalized during the study period were included. AKI was diagnosed according to the criteria of the International Club of Ascites (ICA). The data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 software.

Results: We included 135 patients in our study. The prevalence of AKI was 52.60%. The average age of patients was 43.48 +/- 16 years, the majority of whom were men with a sex ratio of 2.46. Cirrhosis was secondary to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in 60.70%. Ascites was present in 72.59% of patients, jaundice in 73.33%, upper gastrointestinal bleeding in 25.92% of patients. On biological screening, the average creatinine on D1 was 31.51 mg/l and 35.23 mg/l on D2. Stage 2 AKI was the most common stage found in our patients (32.39%). Functional renal failure (IRAF) was the most common cause of AKI (44.20%) followed by hepatorenal syndrome (HRS-AKI) found in 32.30% and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) found in 19.7%. The factors associated with the occurrence of AKI in multivariate analysis were sepsis and CHILD PUGH score (SPC). The overall mortality rate was 37.38% and the specific mortality of ARI was 28.89%. The factors associated with mortality in multivariate analysis were hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic encephalopathy and progression of AKI.

Conclusion: The occurrence of an AKI during cirrhosis is a major turning point in the evolution of the disease with often poor prognosis. Early diagnosis is made using the ICA-AKI criteria. Its management must be fastacting and must, above all, resort to prevention of risk factors in the onset of AKI to improve prognosis.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a public health problem. It is the most frequent cause of death in patients with decompensated cirrhosis [1].

Objective: To help improve the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analytical study covering the period from 1er January 2020 to 31 October 2022 in the Hepato-Gastroenterology Department of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de l'Amitié Sino-centrafricaine (CHUASC) in Bangui. We included in the study patients of both sexes aged at least 18 years with a diagnosis of HCC due to hepatitis B virus (HBV). Patients were divided into two groups (HCC without cirrhosis and HCC with cirrhosis). The study variables were epidemiological, clinical, biological and morphological. Data were entered and analysed using Epi Info version 7 software. The Chi2 test was used for comparison, with a significance level of p ? 0.05.

Results: During the study period, 1344 patients were hospitalised, of whom 681 had chronic liver disease (51%), 288 cases (42.30%) had cirrhosis and/or HCC due to HBV. The hospital incidence of HCC and HCC on cirrhosis was 7.59%. We identified 68 patients (23.61%) with HCC due to cirrhosis (sex ratio: 3.85) and 34 patients (11.80%) with HCC without cirrhosis (sex ratio: 5.8). The mean age of patients with HCC on cirrhosis was 45±11 years and that of patients with HCC without cirrhosis was 48±12 years. In both groups, half of the patients had WHO performance status 3. The alpha-fetoprotein value was ≥ 400 IU/ml in 61.5% of patients with HCC in cirrhosis and in 17.3% of patients with HCC without cirrhosis. Morphologically, the liver was enlarged, multiheteronodular and hypervascularised on Doppler ultrasound and abdominal CT. According to the BCLC (Barcelona-Clinic Liver Cancer) classification, patients with HCC in cirrhosis were stage C in 9 cases (13.23%) and stage D in 59 cases (88.14%). The Okuda classification used to assess the severity of HCC in the 34 patients classified them as stage 2 in 11 cases (32.35%) and stage D in 23 cases (67.65%).

Conclusion: HCC occurs very frequently in young adults with viral B cirrhosis. It is diagnosed late in patients with several nodules that do not allow curative treatment.

Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension is a rarely described condition in children. It occurs mainly in young adults. Significant splenomegaly exists long before diagnosis. The occurrence of complications constitutes the main mode of discovery of the disease. We report the case of a 12-year-old patient, with a history of splenomegaly since the age of 2 years, in whom the diagnosis of Banti syndrome was made following hypersplenism. occurred during follow-up for esophageal varices due portal hypertension syndrome.

Introduction: Patients with liver cirrhosis have a very high risk of complications.

Method: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study covering all cirrhotic patients hospitalized in our department during the study period. It was carried out from January 1, 2022 to March 30, 2023, i.e. 13 months in hospitalization in the hepato-gastroenterology department of the Donka national hospital of the Conakry University Hospital.

The aim of this work was to study cirrhosis and its complications based on clinical and paraclinical data collected in cirrhotic patients followed in our department.

Results: The prevalence of cirrhosis in our department was 28.28%. There were 110 men (55%) and 90 women (45%); i.e. a M/F sex ratio of 1.22. The average age of our patients was 43 years with extremes of 22 and 72 years. The main reasons for hospitalization were: edemato-ascitic syndrome 60.71%, abdominal pain 21.43%, digestive bleeding 18.28%, hepatomegaly 7.14%, jaundice 3.57%, disorders of consciousness (hepatic encephalopathy) 3.57%. The main complications of cirrhosis were: ascites associated with edema in 60.71%, hepatic encephalopathy in 23%, digestive hemorrhage 18.28%, infection of ascitic fluid (13.03 %), hepatocellular carcinoma (10%), hepatorenal syndrome (3.20%). The etiologies of cirrhosis were: viral B (57.14%), viral C (10.71%), mixed alcohol + HBV (10.71%), alcoholic (7.86%), HBV + HCV co-infection (3.57%), HBV+HDV co-infection (1%), autoimmune (3%) and of undetermined cause (6%). Esophagogastroduodenal endoscopy showed esophageal varices in 67% of cases. The main circumstances of death were: digestive hemorrhage (25.32%), infectious shock (26.58%), encephalopathy hepatic (25.32%), hepatorenal syndrome (12.66%) and hepatocellular carcinoma (10.12%).

Conclusion: Cirrhosis is the ultimate consequence of most chronic liver diseases, most often linked to chronic viral hepatitis B and C, excessive alcohol consumption or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It is a real public health problem with increasing incidence worldwide and one of the leading causes of death. Complications of cirrhosis are the consequences of hepatocellular insufficiency and/or portal hypertension and/or hepatocellular carcinoma. The difficult-to-access curative treatment which is liver transplantation; hence the interest in prevention based on the fight against the etiological factors of cirrhosis; in particular the promotion of vaccination against viral hepatitis B.
Pediatric Obesity and Non-Hepatobiliary Gastrointestinal Disorders: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Sen Sandipan , Misra Sudipta
Published: December 2024

Background and Aims: Obesity is a pervasive health issue in children. It affects multiple systems in the body including the gastrointestinal tract. Research on obesity-related gastrointestinal diseases has focused mostly on hepatobiliary disorders. However, non-hepatic gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and functional abdominal pain, though common and debilitating, have not been highlighted in the context of obesity. These entities can downgrade the already compromised lifestyle of obese children. Some of these disorders are more difficult to treat in these children compared to their peers with normal body mass index.

Method: We reviewed the available literature on the association of obesity and these three common gastrointestinal disorders.

Results: There appears to be a strong correlation between childhood obesity and constipation and gastroesophageal reflux, and a probable correlation with functional abdominal pain.

Conclusion: We suggest that in view of the available literature, weight management should be an integral part of the management of gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and functional abdominal pain in obese children. This gains relevance especially because of the recent approval of medications for the treatment of obesity in children.
