Background

To date, it is unclear whether SARS-CoV-2 is present in spent dialysate from patients with COVID-19 on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Our aim was to assess the presence or absence of SARS-CoV-2 in spent dialysate from patients on chronic PD who had a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.

Methods

Spent PD dialysate samples from patients on PD who were positive for COVID-19 were collected between March and August 2020. The multiplexed, real-time RT-PCR assay contained primer/probe sets specific to different SARS-CoV-2 genomic regions and to bacteriophage MS2 as an internal process control for nucleic acid extraction. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from patients’ electronic health records.

Results

A total of 26 spent PD dialysate samples were collected from 11 patients from ten dialysis centers. Spent PD dialysate samples were collected, on average, 25±13 days (median, 20; range, 10–45) after the onset of symptoms. The temporal distance of PD effluent collection relative to the closest positive nasal-swab RT-PCR result was 15±11 days (median, 14; range, 1–41). All 26 PD effluent samples tested negative at three SARS-CoV-2 genomic regions.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate the absence of SARS-CoV-2 in spent PD dialysate collected at ≥10 days after the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. We cannot rule out the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in spent PD dialysate in the early stage of COVID-19.

Published: December 2020

Of the different physical characteristics of fruits, one of the most essential qualities is flesh firmness, as is an important parameter when selling fresh apples, processing the fruit (processing industry) and during its storage. In the scope of our research, we examined five apple varieties originating from the Derecske horticultural site of KITE cPlc. in 2016. The plantation was planted to be suitable for intensive apple production. Samples were collected at the time of maturity (August-October) of the given variety. The five examined apple varieties (Gaia, Isaaq, Modí, Smeralda and Fujion) are all resistant to apple scab (fungal disease caused by Venturia inaequalis). The two-month storage experiment was conducted at 16-17 °C, which had an aggressive effect on our stored apples. Flesh firmness, weight and diameter were measured on three dates for each of the five apple varieties. Our results were evaluated using IBM SPSS Statistics 20 software. We aimed to compare flesh firmness, weight and diameter of the five apple varieties and their changes during storage. Isaaq (86.34 N/cm2), Modí (94.06 N/cm2) and Fujion (84.90 N/cm2) had outstanding initial flesh firmness results. The Modí apple variety provided the best storage parameters.

Published: December 2020

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) affect 1%-3% of patients with pancreatic cancer. This tumor is rare, difficult to diagnose, and clinically laborious. They have an estimated incidence of up to 1 case per 100,000 inhabitants every year. Up on diagnosis, most PNETs are considered malignant, with low healing potential, lesions that are generally unresectable, and a metastasis rate of aproximately 50%. PNETs are classified as functional and non-functional. The tumor functional produces hormones such as gastrin, insulin, somatostatin, glucagon, among others. They are symptomatic due to hormonal hypersecretion and occur in 30% of cases. The other 70% are non-functioning, and despite producing a series of substances and some hormones such as beta HCG and alpha HCG, they are silent tumors, with no significant clinical syndrome. The present study presented scientific evidence about PNETs, the types of pancreas endocrine-tissue tumors, the rate of survival, diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis, to provide solid support to professionals, and contribute to effective decision-making in search of the best clinical outcome.

Prisión perpetua en Colombia: Funciones de la pena, política criminal y neuroderecho
Authors: Borbón Rodríguez Diego Alejandro
Published: December 2020

El pasado 18 de junio de 2020, el Congreso de la República de Colombia aprobó en su octavo debate el Acto Legislativo 01 de 2020 que levanta la prohibición constitucional de la prisión perpetua. El presente artículo pretende abordar integralmente el estudio de la idoneidad de la prisión perpetua desde las funciones de la pena y el neuroderecho. Se encuentra dividido en dos secciones: la primera relaciona las funciones de prevención general, retribución justa y protección al condenado, la segunda sección contiene reflexiones sobre los mitos de la resocialización, su vínculo con la psicopatología y el neuroderecho. De esa manera, parecen existir las suficientes razones para afirmar que la prisión perpetua no satisface ninguna función de la pena.
Estimation of consistency limits of fine-grained soils via regression analysis: A special case for high and very high plastic clayey soils in Istanbul
Authors: AKBAY ARAMA Zülal , AKIN Muhammed Selahaddin , NURAY Said Enes , DALYAN İlknur
Published: December 2020

Consistency limits are essential and simple design parameters that are utilized as standard entries of all kinds of soil investigation programs conducted for geotechnical projects which are constructed in/on fine grained soils. These limits also represent mineralogical and physical properties of clayey soils directly and used to estimate their strength and rigidity properties indirectly. However, the consistency tests are assumed as the simple and basic tests of geotechnical engineering investigations, but the effects of operator, calibration of the device and environmental aspects at the tests damage the reliability and correctness of results. In this paper, it is aimed to overcome these challenges by evaluating the consistency characteristics of clayey soils considering only the values of liquid limit of specific clays with the use of simple regression analysis. A database is prepared by using 500 soil investigation reports that are involving the site characterization information, laboratory and field tests of Istanbul Province European side clayey soils, including Avcılar, Esenyurt, Küçükçekmece, Büyükçekmece, Çatalca, Zeytinburnu, Bahçelievler, Bakırköy districts. 1523 liquid limit tests are obtained from the mentioned database for high and very high plastic clays. The regression analyses have been applied to query the parameter effect ratio on the consistent characteristics and relationships have been tried to be developed to evaluate the values of plastic limit and plasticity index directly from only liquid limit test applications. The effects of fine material content, depth and natural water content is also investigated. Verifications of the suggested equations have been done for different cases and comparisons are made with the well-known sources of literature. Consequently, strong equations are acquired to determine the plasticity index value in terms of liquid limit, liquid limit-depth, liquid limit-fine content, natural water content-fine content respectively based on the actual experimental tests conducted in Istanbul.

Background: World incidence of diabetes is 463 million in 2019 and rise to700 million 2045. Incidence of diabetes is 88 million in SEA in 2019 and rise to 153 million by 2045 IDF(2019) the present study was planned to assess the correlation between Insulin resistance and QTc interval in Type 2 Diabetes. Methods:An observational hospital based cross-sectional study lasting one year from 1st November 2012 to 31st October 2013 was conducted in Post-Graduate Department of Medicine AcharyaShriChander Hospital Sidhra, Jammu. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee, Jammu University. All patients were subjected to thorough history,examination and necessary investigations. QTc interval was assessed using Bazzet’s formula and insulin resistance was estimated at the baseline by Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) described by Matthews et al.Results: In this present observational cross-sectional study, a total of 82 patients were screened, out of which 61 patients met the inclusion criteria and hence, were the subjects. Among them 11 patients were enrolled from indoors while 50 patients were from outdoors. Out of 61 subjects, males and females were almost equally represented with a slight preponderance of female subjects. There were 29 (47.5%) male subjects and 32 (52.5%) female subjects. Their age ranged from 33-68 years. Mean age was 54.393 (±9.204) years. One fourth of the patients (15/61 i.e. 24.6%) were observed to have prolonged QTc interval while three-fourths 46 (75.4%) had QTc interval within the normal range. The mean QTc Interval of study cohort was 0.416 (±0.040)Conclusion:-In this study the frequency of prolonged QTc interval among Type 2 DM patients was considerably high (24.6%). These findings support that patients with Type 2 DM who have prolonged QTc interval have a high risk of major cardiovascular complications and it could be utilized as a rapid, objective and cost-effective screening method to identify patients at high risk for cardiovascular events.
Analyzing the Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Energy Demand: the Case of Northern Italy
Authors: Scarabaggio Paolo
Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 crisis is profoundly influencing the global economic framework due to restrictive measures adopted by governments worldwide. Finding real-time data to correctly quantify this impact is very significant but not as straightforward. Nevertheless, an analysis of the power demand profiles provides insight into the overall economic trends. To accurately assess the change in energy consumption patterns, in this work we employ a multi-layer feed-forward neural network that calculates an estimation of the aggregated power demand in the north of Italy, (i.e, in one of the European areas that were most affected by the pandemics) in the absence of the COVID-19 emergency. After assessing the forecasting model reliability, we compare the estimation with the ground truth data to quantify the variation in power consumption. Moreover, we correlate this variation with the change in mobility behaviors during the lockdown period by employing the Google mobility report data. From this unexpected and unprecedented situation, we obtain some intuition regarding the power system macro-structure and its relation with the overall people's mobility.

POTENTIAL-FREE POWER MODULE PACKAGE
Authors: Chuprunov A.G. , Sidorov V.A. , Bilarus I.A.
Published: December 2020

In this paper we present an optimal design of a ceramic-metal sealed power module package. In our design the leads of the package are mounted on alumina ceramic substrates with through vias, which have been soldered by the high-temperature silver solder at the slots in the package base plate. Base plate is made of pseudoalloy, thermal expansion of which is in a good agreement with alumina ceramics. Substrate made of highly conductive aluminium-nitride ceramics, which is designed for mounting the functional elements of the module, is soldered to the flange with 450-500°С melting point solder. Suggested design provides resistance to cyclic temperature changes of -196+100°C, eliminates thermomechanical effects leading to damage to ceramic substrates during sealing by roll-seam welding, and ensures minimal bending of the bearing surface of the flange.
TCAD-ASSISTED TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING THE PARAMETERS OF
MICROLENSES USED IN PHOTOSENSITIVE CCD VLSI
Authors: Koptev N.S. , Pugachev A.A.
Published: December 2020

In this paper we introduce the simulation technique for photosensitive cell with CCD VLSI microlens with interline transfer. A microlens enhances the photosensitivity of the cell and reduces image blur. The technique is based on the calculation and comparison of the volumetric photogeneration rate integrals of different areas of the photocell, where generated charge carriers are collected and transferred. This technique does not require simulation of the full frame accumulation cycle of the cell, significantly reducing the time of simulation and enabling the evaluation of many design options for microlenses. The technique is implemented in the Sentaurus TCAD (by Synopsys). In the paper we present the results of simulation made for cells with various microlenses. The proposed technique can also be used for the optimization of microlenses of CMOS photodiode VLSI photocells.

Czech Geography and Environmental Issues after 1989
Authors: Poštolka Václav
Published: December 2020

The contribution brings the author's personal views and attempts reflecting some of the important events, outcomes and trends in the Czech geography dealing with environmental issues in the first period after the 1989 turnover. The environmental issues permanently provide a large and significant - but after 1989 much more open and challenging - arena to geography. The author illustrates and tries to stress in a critical way based on several selected examples and activities that both geography / geographers activities and geographical studies / aspects / approaches did not effectively use this opportunity nor did they penetrate into the newly evolved and newly forming science and practice policies. On the contrary, the Czech geography's position in terms of environmental issues can be seen as defensive and therefore also weakening, especially in comparison with the development in the former German Democratic Republic, Poland and Slovakia. For instance, the Institute of Geography, Czechoslovak Academy of Science, which prepared and published the unique Atlas of Environment and Population Health of Czechoslovakia (1992) was abolished. Geography, however, must not resign from its role and ambitions to be one of the very important, maybe key disciplines dealing with the environmental issues.

Published: December 2020

This study examined the nature of community participation in wildlife tourism in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park—a transboundary protected area shared by Botswana and South Africa. Since the opening of the park, much attention has been directed towards stimulating community participation
in wildlife tourism and conservation within the protected area in order to reduce poverty and contribute to local development in adjacent communities. Following a qualitative methodology, the study conducted a documentary analysis in which historical documents and policies pertaining to the
protected area were examined. Further, the study interviewed 17 key informants and conducted two focus groups with members of the two communities located adjacent to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The study found that although policies had a positive effect on the community participation
in wildlife tourism within the park, in Askham the two communities (Khomani San and Mier) had acted autonomously in the involvement in wildlife tourism. Additionally, the study found wildlife tourism in Tsabong to be in its early stages of development and therefore found limited, and hesitant,
participation in the sector. Lack of awareness and limited funds were found comprised as the major limitations to community participation in both Tsabong and Askham. The study concludes that community participation is central to obtaining the benefits conceptualized by wildlife tourism in
the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Introduction: People who experience mental disorders who experience various problems, with different symptoms, generally they have characteristics with some combination of abnormal thoughts, emotions, behavior and relationships with other people that manifest in the form of a series of symptoms and / or changes in behavior which is meaningful and can cause suffering and obstacles in carrying out people's functions as humans (UU Kesehatan no 18 tahun  2014; WHO, 2017; &  WHO, 2018). This is a serious health problem, which usually has problems with poor quality of life. They are associated with feelings of distress, lack of control over symptoms and life in general, negative perceptions of self, stigmatization and rejection, reduced activity and difficulty with daily functioning, and negative outlook. (Connell, J, Brazier, J, O'Cathain, A, Jones, M.L. & Paisley, S., 2012). Group interventions carried out by nurses such as group activity therapy, supportive therapy and self-help groups to help individuals improvement in  their quality of life. Group therapy, one of the self help group, is a group where each member has the same desire to overcome mental disorders or increase the level of cognitive or emotional well-being among group members (Sulistyowati., E.C. & Sulistyowati D, 2018). Self Help Group aims to develop empathy among fellow group members where fellow group members provide mutual reinforcement which has an impact on improving the quality of life. This study aims to determine the improvement of the quality of life of people with mental disorders (ODGJ) with the self help group in the city of Surakarta. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-post test control group design. Data were taken before and after giving the intervention of self-help groups of schizophrenia patients in the intervention group. The total sample was 160 clients divided into  2 groups, namely 80 respondents for group 1 at Griya PMI and 80 respondents for group 2 at RSJD Dr Arif Z Surakarta, each group consisting of 40 respondents for intervention and 40 respondents for the control group. This study measures the quality of life with a research instrument using a life quality questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed ranks test, independent t-test and Mann Whitney-test. Results: The study proved that there was a statistically significant difference in the quality of life before and after giving the self help group (p value, 0.000) between the intervention group and the control group, both at Griya PMI with a mean difference of 20.23 and at RSJD Dr. Arif Z. self help group with a mean difference of 10.85. Conclusion: self help group which is used for intervention is considered effective to improve quality of life. Suggestion: self help group is used as a mental nursing group intervention in caring for mentally ill patients.
Jews of Sarajevo and Their Place in the Ottoman Society of Bosnia
Authors: Husić Aladin
Published: December 2020

The first reports about presence of Jews in Sarajevo are dated to the middle of 16th century since when they started gradually to integrate into economic and social streams in Sarajevo and Bosnia. It is very probable that they initially were settling on individual basis as merchants and just only from the beginning of 17th century they start to settle with families and organize as residential community. Choosing of Sarajevo was also a result of pressure that was imposed upon Jews in Dubrovnik, Venice and other merchant places of the West. Since then reports about Jews in Bosnia and their activities are more frequent, and in 17th century they constituted a distinguished economic community in Sarajevo with significant investment in business connection to Dubrovnik and Venice. Their primary occupation in relations with the West was trade followed by banking business. Research results show that at least 22% of Jews in Sarajevo performed some kind of trade, what is very high percentage if we take into account size of the community. This enabled Jews to position themselves in the most elite part of Sarajevo and they are the only social community that as a whole has lived in the most elite economic and professional area of the city. Towards the end of Ottoman rule, Jews of Sarajevo have been transformed into very respectable community that had 9% of share in the whole population of the city. Analysing some sources we see that they used 30% of storerooms and 16% of shops in the biggest trading buildings what additionally shows how important was their share in the economy of the city.

The Case for Integrating Multi-Source Data for a Fairer and Holistic Judgement of Competence in Medical Education & Training
Authors: Dave Subodh , Ramkisson Roshelle , Selvasekar Chelliah R , Chakravorty Indranil
Published: December 2020

Being a doctor in the 21st Century requires a diverse range of skills, a broad base of knowledge and a suite of professional values and attitudes that enable the clinical practice to be safe, effective and caring. Doctors, irrespective of their speciality, need to be knowledgeable and skilful not just in their area of expertise but also need a range of generic skills and capabilities such as communication, leadership, academic scholarship and research, teaching, quality improvement, advocacy, digital literacy to name a few. These capabilities, all relevant to clinical practice, are assessed routinely in clinical settings. This rich information about trainees, available from their formative assessments, does not inform high-stakes judgements about progression. Instead, these judgements are usually made on the basis of summative examinations conducted in simulated settings.

 

Unfortunately, these summative assessments have consistently delivered results with a large magnitude of the differential between the outcomes of candidates, based on factors such as ethnicity, gender, other protected characteristics and also the country of primary medical qualification. Formative assessment during training, however, is individualised and tends not to show this level of difference; leading to a situation where failure in summative examinations comes as a surprise to both trainees and to training programme directors.

 

There is evidence that periodic assessment of trainees’ acquisition of core capabilities can help make balanced, informed judgements about readiness for progression. The move from a pass/fail categorisation to a yet/not yet categorisation when coupled with appropriate remedial measures can improve, both the validity, as well as the fairness of assessments.  

 

The large magnitude of the differential in outcomes of high-stakes assessments cannot be fixed by tweaking current assessment systems. Instead, there needs to be a recognition that high-level of capabilities consistently demonstrated in the workplace need to play a role in judgements about progression. Failure to do so is unfair, wasteful of public finances, and in breach of the trust places by the public, in training safe and competent clinicians.
Narrowing the gap in careers in clinical research and academia for healthcare professionals

Differential attainment (DA) exists in research and academia, where individuals with protected characteristics face barriers to progression at different stages from selection in training or career pathways through to obtaining funding and getting research published. The causes of DA are multifactorial, however, more barriers are associated with an individual’s gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability or other social and economic factors rather than academic factors related to research. DA is seen across medicine and healthcare therefore it is likely a manifestation of wider inequalities experienced by these individuals within a society. This scoping review takes a first step at exploring DA through the lens of equality, diversity and inclusion in research and academia, specific to healthcare professionals in medicine, in the UK. Given the paucity of published data, benchmarking and investigation of the causes of DA and access in this area, this review seeks to identify what published reports exploring this issue reveal. There has been mixed success in the area of gender equality with the Athena Swan benchmarking exercise; however differences in outcomes exist within gender when other protected characteristics, such as ethnicity, are also explored. The DA observed among women despite the Athena Swan programme demonstrates other factors such as allyship, apprenticeship, sponsorship and mentoring which may be accessible to some individuals, but not others. Furthermore, ethnicity appears to be a barrier to accessing this form of support, and non-Black and minority ethnic women appear to be more privileged to receiving this type of support. Without more research into the lived experiences of individuals from non-traditional backgrounds at the micro-level, as well as data across the career progression pathway overtime at the macro-level, the problem of DA is unlikely to improve. If anything, lack of openness and transparency around such data at an organisational level, may exacerbate the sense of injustice within research and academia among individuals with protected characteristics, especially given that the perceived sense of DA is very real for them. The purpose of this paper is to start the conversation with stakeholders within research and academia, about DA and commence the process of reducing the gap using equality, diversity and inclusion as fundamental concepts for achieving a level playing field for all. This type of accountability is essential for developing trust and in the system. Such open conversations need to happen across every organisation, that is a stakeholder of research and academia in the UK.

Service modularization is gaining increasing attention from scholars and practitioners. However, it must be noted that the essence of service modularization is still not well understood, and its purposefulness of practical application has not yet been well explored. This conceptual paper presents the results of ongoing research addressing service modularization planning issues. The study examines the relationships between the premises and the outcomes of service modularisation. Based on the obtained results, the authors provide the purpose statement for service modularisation. Further, the work outlines the activities that are critical to planning as a management function, analyses their content in the context of service modularization, and identifies the problems that require management decisions. The paper employs comparative analysis, systemic analysis, abstraction, synthesis, abductive reasoning for achieving the research results.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: The important reason why the first 1000 days are a vulnerable period is that this is a time of very rapid growth and development for a child. One of the efforts to increase this awareness concerning child growth and development is information, communication, and education (ICE).
AIM: This study was performed to determine the effectiveness of the ICE model for nutritional against stunting in the first 1000 days of life.
METHODS: This study used a literature review of published research articles on the effectiveness of the ICE model for nutritional against stunting in the first 1000 days of life published between December 2010 and December 2018 in PubMed and Proquest online article database. Data collection techniques by entering keywords in the database, keywords used: Intervention AND Model OR Media AND health promotion*health-promoting OR health education OR health information OR health communication*health communicating AND golden age OR first 2 years AND infant OR child AND maternal AND parenting AND diet OR nutritional status AND stunting.
RESULTS: This study investigated 682 articles. There were six articles included in the literature review. The results showed that to design or develop the ICE model, it is important to pay attention and consider several elements of communication such as promoters (mediators of message delivery); the content of messages, medias or model of message deliveries, message delivery techniques, and the session or frequency of message deliveries.
CONCLUSION: This study confirmed an effectiveness of the ICE model for nutritional against stunting in the first 1000 days of life.

METHODS: A quantitative cross-sectional research design was adopted, consist of 97 Nurses. This study used a Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Structural Equation Modeling using PLS-SEM approach to analyze the data.
RESULTS: The results showed that there is a positive influence on transformational leadership on organizational commitment. The better transformational leadership, the higher the organizational commitment of nurses. There is a negative influence on transformational leadership on work stress. The better transformational leadership, the lower the work stress of nurses. There is a negative influence on organizational commitment to turnover intentions. The higher the nurse’s organizational commitment, the lower the nurse turnover intention. There is a positive influence on work stress to turnover intentions. The higher the nurse’s work stress, the higher the the nurse turnover intention. Another outcome discovered was that indirect influence of leadership through commitment and work stress is greater than direct influence, transformational leadership directly influenced organization commitment, and work stress but was not significantly related to turnover intentions.
CONCLUSION: Researcher suggests that leadership roles in building commitment and helping to manage the work stress of nurses are needed.
