Effect of divalent and trivalent metal ions on artificial membrane permeation of fluoroquinolones
Authors: Nakatani Nanami , Sugano Kiyohiko
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the predictability of PAMPA for the effect of metal ions on the bioavailability of fluoroquinolones (FQ). Eleven FQs and seven metal ions were employed in this study. The PAMPA membrane consisted of a 10 % soybean lecithin (SL) – decane solution. A drug solution in MES buffer with or without a metal ion (added as a chloride salt) was added to the donor compartment. In the absence of metal ions, FQ showed relatively high permeability (> 5 × 10-6 cm/sec) in SL-PAMPA despite their hydrophilic and zwitterionic properties. As the PAMPA permeability ratio with/without metal ions became smaller, the urinary excretion and AUC ratios tended to be smaller, suggesting that SL-PAMPA is a suitable in vitro model to evaluate the potential effect of metal ions on the bioavailability of FQ. However, the reduction in AUC and urinary excretion was overestimated for low solubility metal ion formulations (dried aluminum hydroxide gel and La2(CO3)3・8H2O). In such cases, the dissolution of the metal ion formulations and the permeation of FQs should be simultaneously evaluated.

Published: September 2022

Agriculture is the primary sector of Indian economy contributing substantially towards GDP of the country. Qualified and quality human resources contribute significantly towards agricultural sector in the economy. The present study (2021) attempts to analyze the human resource development in terms of enrollment pattern of students in undergraduate (UG) course of agriculture and allied sciences and reflects on evolving strategies for attracting talented students in this sector. Present study shows that there is a close correlation with State Value of Output in agricultural sector and number of students enrolled in higher agricultural and allied studies. Presently, there are 74 agricultural universities (AUs) under the National Agricultural Research Education System and the present study attempts to analyze the student enrollment patterns of under-graduate students in agricultural universities of India for meeting the scientific manpower needs towards achieving targeted agricultural growth. Five years of enrollment data (2015–20) across AUs was considered. Human resource development in terms of enrolment in the higher agricultural education of agricultural universities is quite low when compared to enrolment of students overall in higher education and pattern of enrollment of girls varied in different regions of the country. This study has brought out an important aspect linked to higher agricultural education that the State Value of Output in agriculture has a positive association with enrollment of the students in higher agricultural education from the state in agricultural sector. It is important to assess the future human resource needs for the various sub-sectors of agriculture.
Assessment of the constraints in PHM and determinants of losses in grapes (Vitis vinifera): An ordered logistic regression analysis
Authors: SAHU SUBHASHREE , SHARMA J P , BURMAN R R , GILLS RESHMA , SINHA S K
Published: September 2022

Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the major fruit crops of India and the largest grape producing states are Maharashtra followed by Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Mizoram and Andhra Pradesh. The glaring inefficiencies in the supply chain of grapes along with its perishable nature leads to huge losses. The study identified farm size, knowledge level, experience, training received, timely labour availability and distance from farm to market as significant determinants of the losses. Though a lot of research and extension has been done on the technologies for improved production and loss reduction, the adoption of the recommendations by the farmers has been found to be differential. Thus, we need to isolate the factors which hinder the adoption of such recommendations. The present study (2019–21) identified the major constraints as the high initial investment in infrastructure, lack of market intelligence system, unavailability of skilled labour, unavailability of timely chemicals and equipments and thus, chalks out the future strategy accordingly to minimise the losses.
A Partial Answer to the Question Posed by David A. Hughes, PhD, in the Article: “What is in the so-called COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’? Part 1: Evidence of a Global Crime Against Humanity”
Authors: Santiago Daniel
Published: September 2022

In this comment, originally thought of as a “Letter to the Editor”, I want to address the opening question posed by David A. Hughes in the immediately preceding entry in this journal: “What is in the so-called COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’?” The views from under the microscope, ordinary light or electron scanning, all show undisclosed foreign objects that seem to activate themselves and aggregate into complexes that disrupt blood flow in all organ systems. With the spectral analysis using electron microscopy it is possible to determine the specific elements and relative quantities of the elements in those foreign entities. In this comment, I want to focus on the absence of certain elements that are universally present in the proteins of naturally occurring life forms from humans right down to bacteria and even the proteins formed from viruses. What is missing from the spectral analyses of the foreign elements in the main COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna for certain, and probably also missing from the other experimental products being widely distributed that are known to contain foreign aggregates of strange materials similar to those found in the Moderna and Pfizer injections, are the elements nitrogen and phosphorous. This is revealing because all natural DNA, RNA, and their protein products contain those missing elements. Nitrogen for protein synthesis and phosphorus for DNA, RNA, and energy transfer. Therefore, their absence from the foreign structures seen under many different microscopes in all of the COVID-19 so-called “vaccines” that have been examined, and also found in blood samples of persons injected with the Moderna and Pfizer concoctions, proves that these intentionally manufactured self-assembling components, built mainly from carbon-based materials used in computing and super-conductors, are connected with the avant-guard evolutionary theory and experimentation with what is known as XNA, Xeno (Greek for “foreign”), Nucleic Acid. Most of the relevant information is behind significant paywalls in esoteric journals specializing in this peculiar branch of highly theoretical and experimental chemistry. To leap to the bottom-line of my urgent comment on the Hughes’ paper, the edgy modified mRNA with N1-methylpseudouridine (Ψ) replacing the naturally occurring RNA nucleotide uridine (U) at least 728 times in each one of the 30 billion mRNA molecules in each of the Pfizer injections is an exmplary XNA. In this comment I want to explain why the inclusion of such an XNA may be the clue that leads to the unraveling of the already devastating and potentially exterminating impact of the ongoing COVID-19 experiment on the human race.

Authors:   State Social and Humanitarian University, Kovacheva I.A. , Chaichenko M.V.
Published: September 2022

In modern conditions of life there is quite a lot of activities performing in unforeseen and suddenly emerging situ- ations, which demand to show inventiveness, rate of response, ability to concentration and attention switch, space, time, dynamic accuracy of movement and their rationality. Theory of physical education connects all these quali- ties or abilities with a physical quality «dexterity». Dexterity – is a need for intentional development of abilities to regulate, control movements, catch on complex coordination, accurate movements and change your activity depend- ing on the conditions. Dexterity development is connected with increasing ability to perform difficult coordination movements, quick switch from one motor actions to others, with development of the skill to act in the most appropri- ate form according to suddenly changed conditions or tasks, that is ability to make difficult movement tasks quickly, accurately, efficiently and inventively.

Reflecting on Boundary Crossings between Knowledge and Values:
Authors: Sanders Dawn
Published: September 2022

Through a series of practice-based narratives, drawn from specific experiences in a higher-education context in Sweden, the affordances of multimodal objects are reflected upon. In this work, multimodal objects are considered as boundary objects that can facilitate learning conversations, both cognitive and affective. Current work in science education research has highlighted the role that boundary-crossings between knowledge and values offer teaching and learning. The author believes such boundary-crossings to be essential in the current context of prolific species extinction, on a planet in which human-made materials now outweigh the living biomass; a planet in which life, death, self and other are ‘braided vulnerabilities’ across a complex socio-biological landscape. Thus, in these iterative, practice-based reflections on specific teaching moments, this paper offers small steps towards reimagining biology didactics in the ‘post-normal’ conditions of the 21st century. In so doing, possibilities for multimodal objects in contemporary biology didactics are reflected upon and suggested.

Published: September 2022

The incidence of clear cell carcinoma of gall bladder is very low. The mean age of diagnosis is 60 years. The potential cause of clear cell carcinoma of gall bladder has been shown to be associated with gallstones. It is difficult to determine that clear cell morphology is due to metastasis, notably from clear cell renal cell carcinoma or whether these are primary tumor of the gall bladder. We report a case of clear cell carcinoma of the gall bladder in a 56-year-old female, who presented with abdominal discomfort along with pain and bloating that was aggravated mainly after the meal, with an aim to emphasize the importance of taking an accurate medical history in patients with clear cell carcinoma, a rare malignant tumor of the gall bladder.

Published: September 2022

Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of selective reconstructive anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery using the All-inside technique with a four-strand semitendinosus or gracilis autograft tendon. Subject and methods: 34 patients were diagnosed with a partial tear of the ACL and underwent selective reconstructive surgery at the Orthopedic Center, Military Hospital 103 from November 2018 to September 2020. Lysholm knee scale and IKDC class were used to access post-operatively clinical outcomes. Stability was evaluated using the anterior drawer test, the Lachman test, the Pivot shift test, and the Rolimeter measure at 20o of knee flexion. Results: The pre-operative and post-operative Lysholm scores were 49.5 ± 18.4 and 94.47 ± 6.81, respectively (p < 0.001).         Pre-operatively, most patients were classified as C and on the IKDC score. At the final follow-up, IKDC scores included 22 class A, 10 class B, 2 class C (p < 0.001). The pre- and post-operative laxity measured by Rolimeter were 5.15 ± 1.5 mm and 1.74 ± 1.34 mm, respectively (p < 0.001). Pre-operatively and post-operatively, the Pivot-shift was absent in all cases. Conclusion: Selective reconstruction of the injured ACL bundle restores knee stability and function. All-inside technique can be used to reconstruct the rupture ACL bundle with many advantages. Longer follow-up is needed to fully evaluate clinical outcomes after selective reconstruction in partial ACL tears.

Valorization of the residual bagasse of Mexican oregano (Lippia graveolens HBK) by obtaining fractions enriched in pinocembrin
Authors: Flores-Martínez Héctor , Cuevas-González María Fernanda , López-Muraira Irma Guadalupe , Padilla-de la Rosa José Daniel , León-Campos Carolina
Published: September 2022

Mexican oregano (Lippia graveolens HBK) constitutes a spice of great commercial value mainly due to the presence of thymol and carvacrol, volatile fat-soluble compounds contained in its essential oil. However, little use has been made of its high content of water-soluble phenolic compounds, with proven antioxidant capacities. Among them, it stands out its high content of pinocembrin, flavanone with properties of great nutritional importance and for health due to its protective activity against cerebral ischemia. Mexico ranks second as a world producer of Mexican oregano. During the extractive process of the essential oil derived from its leaf, a large amount of solid waste rich in flavonoids is generated, which is minimally used and even becomes a source of contamination due to its poor disposal as waste. In order to value this agro-industrial waste, it was characterized by determining the content of total phenols, antioxidant activity (DHHP) and content of pinocembrin, observing a higher content of pinocembrin in the extract of oregano without essential oil (0.766 mg / ml) with respect to that corresponding to oregano without treatment (0.659 mg / ml). The results suggest that the residual bagasse from the extraction of the essential oil can be used with great potential due to its high content of polyphenols, antioxidant capacity and pinocembrin (27.93 mg / g BS). To achieve the concentration of pinocembrin, two separation methods were evaluated: chromatographic column with silica gel (hydrophilic) and separation with automated extraction in hydrophobic solid phase (Ultra C18) with pinocembrin recovery efficiencies of 56.6 and 90.1 %, respectively, being able to generate products enriched in pinocembrin with a 74.8 % purity. This work contributes to the potential development of new products and waste recovery processes in the growing natural essential oil extraction industry.
Operation of hydroelectric plants without storage volume due to optimization of the turbine flow
Authors: Blanco-Barrero Juan Manuel
Published: September 2022

Hydroelectric power plants in diversion scheme systems utilize the water flowing through the river, since they present the necessary facilities and infrastructures to channel and harness the water, without having in their initial conception any storage systems. This type of power stations are designed and automated to operate between certain limits of water head, working with “constant head”, using the heads available at any moment. The operating limits are determined by the “nominal flow” for which the power plant has been designed and the “minimal technical flow” which corresponds to the minimum value of the flow with which the plant can work, which depends on each type of turbine.  By means of the presented optimization algorithms we can take advantage of those periods of time with low levels of flow (low water levels) to utilize the channels in the power station as storage elements of flow under the technical minimum, making the power plant undergo sequential cycles of emptying/filling of channels, allowing for the energetic exploitation, that will be denoted as “optimal flow”.In this article, we intend to determine how we can adapt each type of turbine to the new optimization algorithms proposed, establishing the increments in production obtained for each type of turbine and the possibility of applying the “optimal flow" algorithms.

The advantages of having automated decisions make it necessary to have mechanisms for coexisting with its opacity. Legal systems in Europe and Brazil sought to create systems of transparency that allow greater control by individuals in terms of access to personal data. Thus, leading to a question whether there is a “right to explanation” is either legal systems. The article analyses how the debate in Europe influenced the discussions in Brazil and uses a comparative methodology to understand how the two legal systems have structured a mechanism based on transversal principles of transparency and the rights of access to information to functionality to establish a “right of explanation”. As a conclusion, the paper notes the limits and potentialities of this right as it was structured, highlighting that its scope is still open for debate, particularly in Brazil, where ongoing discussions, chiefly in Congress, may impact the right itself and its implementation.
E-Negotiations in Mergers and Acquisitions: The Importance of Cultural Familiarity in the Western and Arabic Contexts
Authors: Najafi Iman , Boltuc Peter (Piotr) ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

This paper focuses on the influence of cultural familiarity on getting the most out of an e-negotiation for merger or acquisition based on subjective and objective negotiation behaviors. We examined if cultural awareness could increase the rate of negotiation self-efficacy, shorten the length of negotiation and optimize deal closure results. To do so, firstly we investigate the concept of e-negotiation and its development in the last two decades. Then a series of systematic reviews is performed on the parameters influencing the success in offline and online merger or acquisition negotiations. We also considered the main traits of Western and Middle Eastern Arab cultures on negotiations. The results show that many of the requirements of successful collaboration, or negotiations, with Arab managers can currently happen only through face-to-face meetings.
Proximity, Innovation, Collaboration; Developing the 4th “Extended Reality” Space
Authors: Clifton Nick , Carroll Fiona , Wheeler Richard ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

The digital “4th Space” is a development of Oldenburg’s delineation of the 1st (home), 2nd place (work) and 3rd (social) places. Coworking spaces are presented as an example of space blurring within the knowledge economy, where digitalization, knowledge flows, flexibility and innovation play out at the micro level. Post-pandemic, they are likely to play a greater role as remote working remains a permanent feature. But how should we reassess their role in the advent of the 4th space, and what might the 4th space mean for how the role of proximity itself is (re)conceptualized in relation to collaboration and innovation? To do so, providing examples, we suggest the journey from the telephone to extended reality (XR) video conferencing technologies as a means to understand the evolution of the 4th space. We discuss (XR) spaces and the opportunities to afford proximity and collaboration, thus providing an agenda for further research.

Background: The term “financial toxicity” or “hardship” is a patient-reported outcome that results from the material costs of cancer care, the psychological impacts of these costs, and the coping strategies that patients use to deal with the strain that includes delaying or forgoing care. However, little is known about the impact of financial toxicity on cancer screening. We examined the effects of financial toxicity on the use of screening tests for prostate and colon cancer. We hypothesized that greater financial hardship would show an association with decreased prevalence of cancer screening. Methods: This cross-sectional survey–based US study included men and women aged ≥50 years from the National Health Interview Survey database from January through December 2018. A financial hardship score (FHS) between 0 and 10 was formulated by summarizing the responses from 10 financial toxicity dichotomic questions (yes or no), with a higher score associated with greater financial hardship. Primary outcomes were self-reported occurrence of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood testing and colonoscopy for prostate and colon cancer screening, respectively. Results: Overall, 13,439 individual responses were collected. A total of 9,277 (69.03%) people had undergone colonoscopies, and 3,455 (70.94%) men had a PSA test. White, married, working men were more likely to undergo PSA testing and colonoscopy. Individuals who had not had a PSA test or colonoscopy had higher mean FHSs than those who underwent these tests (0.70 and 0.79 vs 0.47 and 0.61, respectively; P≤.001 for both). Multivariable logistic regression models demonstrated that a higher FHS was associated with a decreased odds ratio for having a PSA test (0.916; 95% CI, 0.867–0.967; P=.002) and colonoscopy (0.969; 95% CI, 0.941–0.998; P=.039). Conclusions: Greater financial hardship is suggested to be associated with a decreased probability of having prostate and colon cancer screening. Healthcare professionals should be aware that financial toxicity can impact not only cancer treatment but also cancer screening.

Background: Most studies describe the “average healthcare cost trend” among patients with cancer. We aimed to delineate heterogeneous trajectories of healthcare cost during the last 2 years of life of patients with a metastatic cancer and to assess the associated sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and healthcare use. Patients and Methods: We analyzed a sample of 353 deceased patients from a cohort of 600 with a solid metastatic cancer in Singapore, and we used group-based trajectory modeling to identify trajectories of total healthcare cost during the last 2 years of life. Results: The average cost trend showed that mean monthly healthcare cost increased from SGD $3,997 during the last 2 years of life to SGD $7,516 during the last month of life (USD $1 = SGD $1.35). Group-based trajectory modeling identified 4 distinct trajectories: (1) low and steadily decreasing cost (13%); (2) steeply increasing cost in the last year of life (14%); (3) high and steadily increasing cost (57%); and (4) steeply increasing cost before the last year of life (16%). Compared with the low and steadily decreasing cost trajectory, patients with private health insurance (β [SE], 0.75 [0.37]; P=.04) and a greater preference for life extension (β [SE], −0.14 [0.07]; P=.06) were more likely to follow the high and steadily increasing cost trajectory. Patients in the low and steadily decreasing cost trajectory were most likely to have used palliative care (62%) and to die in a hospice (27%), whereas those in the steeply increasing cost before the last year of life trajectory were least likely to have used palliative care (14%) and most likely to die in a hospital (75%). Conclusions: The study quantifies healthcare cost and shows the variability in healthcare cost trajectories during the last 2 years of life. Policymakers, clinicians, patients, and families can use this information to better anticipate, budget, and manage healthcare costs.

Овај рад прво говори о принципу рада ГПС система. Када се зна положај сателита и удаљеност пријемника можемо одредити тачан положај на Земљи. Пријемник може бити уграђен у возило, kоје у сваком тренутку када га власник жели надгледати, може одредити његову тачну локацију. Многе фирме у сваком тренутку знају гдје се налази њихово возило или пошиљка, јер је диспечер у сталној комуникацији са возачем. У случају крађе возила власник може да одреди положај украденог возила и да пошаље тачне координате полицији на даље разматрање. Разни извјештаји говоре о потрошњи и уштеди горива који су данас јако корисни јер штеде ресурсе, омогућују безбједност и сигурност фирмама, али прије свега пружају информације возачима о стању возила.

Истраживање је проведено у основним школама на подручју Брчко дистрикта Босне и Херцеговине с намјером да се испитају ставови и мишљење наставника о употреби метода вредновања знања ученика из природе и друштва у сеоским и градским школама. Циљ овог истраживања је испитивање мишљења и ставова наставника разредне наставе у градским и сеоским школама у вези са знањем ученика у настави природе и друштва, те идентификовање постојећих метода вредновања постигнућа ученика у настави наведених наставних предмета. Узорак овог истраживања чинило је 20 наставника разредне наставе, од тога десет наставника запослено је у градској школи, а десет у сеоској школи. Мјерење је извршено дескриптивном методом и техником анкетирања. Подаци су статистички обрађени. Резултати истраживања су потврдили хипотезу да не постоји разлика у учесталости употребе метода вредновања знања ученика из природе и друштва у сеоским и градским школама.
ДЕМОГРАФСКА ОДРЖИВОСТ ИЗМЕЂУ ДЕПОПУЛАЦИЈЕ И РАСТА ЉУДСКОГ КАПИТАЛА – ЕМПИРИЈСКО ИСТРАЖИВАЊЕ У РЕПУБЛИЦИ СРПСКОЈ

Често се демографска одрживост дефинише на начин да је број становника константа, као и његове поједине структуре, посебно старосна и полна. С друге стране истиче се да демографска одрживост треба да обухвати и друштвено-економске карактеристике становништва.Велику опасност за одрживи развој у Републици Српској и БиХ крије у себи демографска рецесија, која пријети урушавању економског, а повезано с тим и здравственог и пензионог система. То посебно импликујe старење становништва, те међусобно несразмјени морталитет и наталитет. Тиме се смањује радно-способно становништво, што све скупа угрожава основе на којима почивају одрживост и укупан друштвено-економски систем. Циљ и методе истраживања по моделу ''sustaindemo'' примијењен је на простору Републике Српске, с намјером да се утврди типологија општина и градова према демографској одрживости, а што може помоћи у креирању политике одрживог просторног развоја општина и градова, заснованих на коришћењу ''ендогених'' (унутрашњих) људских ресурса. Методологија израде се темељи на примјени вишекритеријумске ГИС анализе, у извођењу демографских индикатора и индекса. Резултати истраживања потврђују хипотезе о интеракцији демографског и економског развоја, тачније о демографским ресурсима као индикаторима и факторима економског развоја БиХ и Републике Српске. Коначно, потврђено је да су промјене демографских ресурса посредан, али врло поуздан индикатор економског и свеукупног развоја, гдје посебно демографски индекс и индекс образованости, као двије основне компоненте индекса демографских ресурса, ближе показују специфичне развојне проблеме у појединим просторним дијеловима земље.
КЉУЧНИ КОНЦЕПТИ У САВРЕМЕНОЈ ПОСТКОЛОНИЈАЛНОЈ ТЕОРИЈИ: МУЛТИКУЛТУРАЛИЗАМ, ОТПОР, ХИБРИДНОСТ И КОНЦЕПТ „ДРУГОГ”

Koncept „drugog” jedan je od najvažnijih u postkolonijalnoj teoriji i njemu će posebno biti posvećena pažnja u ovom radu. Međutim, postoje problemi i složenosti vezane za taj pojam. „Drugo” uključuje dvostrukost i identiteta i različitosti tako da svako „drugo”, svako različito i izdvojeno, u sebi sadrži vrijednosti i značenje kulture kolonizatora čak iako odbija da to jasno definiše. Postkolonijalna teorija je takođe izgrađena na konceptima otpora, otpora kao prevrata, suprotstavljanja ili podražavanja. Taj koncept otpora u sebi nosi ideje o slobodi, identitetu, individualnosti koje možda u istom tom obliku ne postoje u kolonizovanoj kulturi i njihovom pogledu na svijet. U postkolonijalnim studijama često se kao veoma važan koncept navodi hibridnost. On se odnosi na integraciju ili miješanje kulturnih znakova i praksi iz kulture kolonizatora i kolonizovanih. Hibridnost je takođe koristan koncept koji pomaže da se razbije lažni osjećaj da su kolonizovane ili kolonizujuće kulture monolitne i imaju trajne i nepromjenljive odlike. Usko povezan sa svim prethodno navedenim konceptima jeste i koncept multikulturalizma, nezaobilazan u postkolonijalnoj teoriji. Najjednostavnija definicija ovog pojma bila bi da je to svjesnost i prihvatanje činjenice da je priroda svih kultura izrazito višestruka i mješovita. Skoro je nemoguće pronaći neku kulturu koja je bila ili će ikada biti čista, jednostruka, nepomješana, bez primjesa drugih uticaja. Književna djela koja se bave patnjom, rasnom nejednakošću, klasnim razlikama i političkim razmimoilaženjima najbolji su poligon za razumijevanje i tumačenje „drugog”.
Slöjdpedagogiska grunder
Authors: Johansson Marléne
Published: September 2022

I en ansenlig mängd böcker, rapporter och artiklar har professor emerita Linnéa Lindfors, Åbo Akademi i Vasa, Finland, beskrivit slöjdpedagogiska grunder och modeller. Lindfors slöjdpedagogiska forskning har spridits med nordiska kontakter och nätverk, men främst har den använts och vidareutvecklats inom finländsk utbildning och forskning. I Finland blev slöjdpedagogik ett eget huvudämne vilket resulterade i att den slöjdpedagogiska forskningen blev mer tillgänglig och använd både på grund- och forskarnivå. I övriga nordiska länder har det dels inte funnits tillräckligt med slöjdforskare som har kunnat använda och sprida forskningen, dels kan de slöjdpedagogiska grunderna ha uppfattats för komplicerade att ta till sig inom slöjdlärarutbildning och skola. Lindfors slöjdpedagogiska modeller är främst publicerade i pappersformat medan de saknas mer samlat digitalt. I artikeln publiceras därför, med Lindfors tillåtelse, några av de slöjdpedagogiska modellerna med syfte att de därmed ska bli än mer tillgängliga. Val av modeller är gjorda utifrån artikelförfattarens erfarenheter och intresseområde, men utöver av svenskt intresse är förhoppningsvis de slöjd­pedagogiska grunderna och modellerna även värdefulla för andra nordiska utbildningar och slöjdsammanhang. Grundforskningens modeller är trots sin ålder mycket användbara för nutida slöjdforskning, slöjdlärarutbildning och lärares utvecklingsarbete. Modellerna öppnar upp för att upptäcka och beskriva grunder som inte behöver utforskas på nytt, i stället kan de användas som underlag för vidare utveckling.
First Trimester Prediction of Gestational Diabetes using a Predictive Model of Biochemical ParametersA Longitudinal Study

Introduction: Current international guidelines recommend screening for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) between 24-28 weeks of gestational age. It has been proven that early diagnosis and prompt treatment can effectively reduce and can even avoid many of the maternal and foetal complications. There are no accepted methods of testing before the recommended 24-28 weeks which can predict the development of GDM. Aim: To develop a risk based predictive model using clinical and biochemical parameters for predicting the development of GDM in the first trimester. Materials and Methods: This longitudinal prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gyanecology at the SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, India from January 2017 to July 2018 and included 120 pregnant women with gestational age <15 weeks over a period of 18 months. Detailed history, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure were recorded followed by measurement of serum creatinine, uric acid and albumin. At 24-28 weeks of gestation, screening for GDM was performed according to Diabetes in Pregnancy Study group of India (DIPSI) criteria. Predictive modeling using stepwise linear regression to choose the best model that can predict the development of GDM was performed. A Receiver Operating characteristic Curve (ROC) was constructed to identify the best cut-off value that can predict the development of GDM. Results: A total of 130 pregnant women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled for the study. Ten women were lost to follow-up in 2nd trimester. Final cohort consisted of 120 women and 19 (15.8%) of them developed GDM based on DIPSI criteria between 24-28 weeks. Rest 101 (84.2%) did not develop GDM. Significant correlation was found between BMI (r=0.49, p<0.005), systolic Blood Pressure (BP) (r=0.35, p<0.005) and diastolic BP (r=0.33, p<0.005) with GDM. There was significant increase in creatinine and uric acid (p<0.005) and decrease in albumin (p<0.005) in GDM as compared to non GDM. First trimester uric acid >3.35 mg/dL showed sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 84.2% for predicting GDM. Predictive modeling showed that model containing uric acid, creatinine and albumin had a higher correlation (r=0.82) with Plasma Glucose (PG) as compared to other models containing uric acid alone or uric acid and creatinine. Conclusion: It is possible to predict the development of GDM early in the first trimester using this predictive model of biochemical parameters with high accuracy
