Mapping error in the parallel realizations of SAMANN algorithm
Authors: Medvedev Viktor , Dzemyda Gintautas
Published: December 2023

In this paper we discuss the visualization of multidimensional vectors. A well-known procedure for mapping data from a high-dimensional space onto a lower-dimensional one is Sammon's mapping. This algorithm preserves as well as possible all inter-pattern distances. We investigate an unsupervised back-propagation algorithm to train a multilayer feed-forward neural network (SAMANN) to perform the Sammoil's nonlinear projection and propose a parallel algorithm for SAMANN network.

The issue of determining the characteristics of adaptive physical culture using physical and sports rehabilitation for persons injured as a result of war is updated in the context of the current Russian-Ukrainian war. The study established that a component of medical rehabilitation is physical rehabilitation, which mobilizes the functional reserves of the body. The special importance of adaptive physical culture in this process has been revealed. It has been determined that medical rehabilitation includes a complex system of therapeutic, pedagogical, social, psychological and physical activities. Attention is focused on the role and physical rehabilitation. It occupies one of the main places in the complex of rehabilitation methods. The study considers therapeutic physical culture as one of the main and widespread means of physical rehabilitation. Modern Ukrainian scientists distinguish between different types of adaptive physical culture. The article provides characteristics of adaptive physical education, adaptive physical rehabilitation and adaptive sports. It has been established that for effective physical rehabilitation a number of psychocorrectional methods for regulating post-traumatic conditions can be used. In particular, we are talking about the method of rational psychocorrection and debriefing of the stress of critical situations. The main tasks of debriefing are identified. Methods of mental self-regulation and methods of personality-oriented psychotherapy are specified. In the context of a review of current publications on the research topic, it was found that the topic of providing psychological and correctional assistance to former combatants for their adaptation and rehabilitation in everyday life is increasingly relevant. According to the study results, it is summarized that rehabilitation can have temporary but significant success, resulting in dramatic improvements in quality of life. The identified personality traits of people who saw and participated in hostilities and maladaptive manifestations of their behavior and reasons should be taken into account when organizing rehabilitation activities with her.
Features of arterial hypertension in obesity
Authors:   Kharkiv National Medical University, Korzh O.M.
Published: December 2023

Hypertension in obesity is a fairly common problem, and it has its own characteristics. Obesity promotes inflammation in the body, which can damage blood vessels and lead to atherosclerosis, which also contributes to increased blood pressure. Obesity can lead to increased resistance to blood flow in vessels through various mechanisms, including atherosclerosis, inflammation, and other physiological changes. The main direct physiological mechanism of the development and maintenance of arterial hypertension is endothelial dysfunction, which leads to an increase in vascular tone and further remodeling of the vascular wall, and this is a general result of the influence of known external factors.
«Троянський кінь» Холодної війни: Нова Гута як інструмент радянського впливу СРСР
Authors: Боженко Анастасія
Published: December 2023

У статті йдеться про здійснення влади Радянським Союзом у період Холодної війни на території Польської Народної Республіки (ПНР) через економічні та містобудівні механізми на прикладі побудови Нової Гути. Зокрема, розглядається втручання в структурні реорганізації побудови міста та комбінату, консультаційні наради польських та радянських експертів. Зазначається, що вплив Радянського Союзу спостерігався, починаючи від сприйняття радянської моделі форсованої індустріалізації та управління будівництвом і закінчуючи щоденним контролем технологічних процесів на виробництві. У пропагандистському образі Нової Гути постійно підкреслюється її важливість як одного з найголовніших символів польсько-радянської дружби та символу миру, що відповідає риториці Холодної війни. Зрештою, у сучасній історіографії та колективній пам’яті концептуалізується сприйняття Нової Гути як спадщини Холодної війни, зокрема, через музеєфікацію її простору, відбувається її вписування в рамки незручної спадщини.

Deux ex Machina (“ God From the Machine”): Exploring Digital Worship in the Salvation Ministries, Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Authors: Opara Christopher Onyewuchi , Gbule Ndidi Justice , Olumati Rowland
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a sociological exploration of the digital worship practices of the Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt. It investigates the impact of technology on the members’ and how it engages their relationship with the Divine. Utilizing qualitative research, including interviews with members and analysis of online reviews, the study examines the role of digital worship in fostering relationships between members and the divine. It employs the Media and Technological Determinism theories to examine this relationship in depth. The paper also examines the implications of the emergence of the “God from Machine” in worship services, arguing that worshippers are constructing a new type of connection that transforms their religious experiences. The findings demonstrate that digital worship has significantly expanded the reach of Salvation Ministries beyond its physical boundaries. Virtual sermons and prayer sessions have strengthened the sense of community among members, facilitating easier connections with leaders and fellow worshippers. However, caution is advised regarding the potential risks of excessive reliance on technology, diminished personal interaction, and substituting genuine spiritual experiences. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the importance of balancing embracing technology and preserving the authenticity and sincerity of spiritual practices.

Aim of the study: The Gala Lake, which has a status of National Park and is an under-protection area, is the one of the most important natural stagnant water bodies in the Marmara Region of Türkiye. However, it is under effect of a significant agricultural stress sourced by mainly paddy cultivation. In this research, the epiphytic diatoms of Gala Lake were investigated, and the trophic status of the lake was assessed by applying the Biological Diatom Index (BDI). Material and methods: Epiphytic diatom samples were collected from the submerged macrophytes from 5 selected locations on the lake (G1–G5) with different ecological characters observed to be exposed to different pollution pressures. Results and conclusions: As a result of taxonomic data, 37 diatom species were recorded by identifying a total of 2095 valves, and Cyclotella meneghiniana, Bacillaria paxillifera, and Navicula recens were found as the most dominant species for the Gala Lake. According to the results of bioindication data, Gala Lake was found to be in a "eutrophic state"—"having poor water quality" in terms of applied BDI.
«Poeta en Nueva York» y el socialismo humanista de Fernando de los Ríos
Authors: García Miguel-Ángel
Published: December 2023

Este artículo propone la confrontación sistemática de algunos poemas de Poeta en Nueva York y de los textos en los que Fernando de los Ríos desarrolla su sentido humanista del socialismo. No se defiende que estos últimos influyan o sean fuente concreta de aquellos, pero se concluye que los iluminan y aportan nuevos matices a su significado. Si bien hay notables puntos de coincidencia a la hora de denunciar las injusticias sociales del capitalismo, así como la ausencia de valores espirituales en este sistema económico, el poeta y su antiguo profesor difieren en las políticas de solidaridad con los oprimidos y marginados. Se pretende contribuir así a las lecturas que han destacado la importancia de la parte social en un libro por otro lado difícilmente reducible a un solo estrato interpretativo.

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of -Fe2O3 particles for energy storage devices
Authors: Bui Thi Hang  , Tran Van Dang
Published: December 2023

In this study, we fabricated α-Fe2O3 materials via a facile hydrothermal route to use as the active material for iron-based battery anode. The particle size of α-Fe2O3 is in a range of a few hundreds of nanometers to a few micrometers.  The structural characteristics and particle size of the synthesized iron oxides were studied via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical behavior of iron oxide electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The distribution of iron species was observed by Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurement. Carbon was used as additive to improve the conductivity of α-Fe2O3/C composite electrode. The electrochemical measurements revealed that the prepared α-Fe2O3 particles provided the good cyclability. The EDS showed that iron species were dispersed on the carbon surface during discharge-discharge through the electrochemical dissolution-deposition process of iron.
Dialog jako główna kategoria teologicznego myślenia ks. Łukasza Kamykowskiego
Authors: Dzidek Tadeusz
Published: December 2023

This resulted from the experience of the 20th century, and especially from the important event – not only for the Catholic Church, but also for all Christianity – which was the Second Vatican Council. The theologian sees dialogue as an experience, a process taking place not only at the verbal level, but also at the level of attitudes, which is a mutual exchange of gifts. God in the Holy Trinity has entered a dialogue with humanity through revelation. The vocation of believers is to begin this dialogue with God. His stake is to establish a living relationship with Him. And when that happens, the believer should continue this dialogue with others. The concept of dialogue is the basic category of thinking, which is the key to understanding Kamykowski’s work and allows to systematize it.

Experimental study on static and impact properties of concrete incorporating nano-SiO2, nano-Al2O3 and Fe2O3 in single and combined forms
Authors: Al-Hagri Mohammed Gamal , Döndüren Mahmud Sami
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of the single and combined effect of nanoparticles on the static and impact properties of concrete. Nano-SiO2, nano-Al2O3 and nano-Fe2O3 were used separately and in combined forms as partial replacements of cement by 1% and 2% by weight. The impact of nanoparticles on the unit weight, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, toughness, fracture energy, impact performance of concrete was experimentally examined. In addition, the effect of these nanoparticles on the microstructure of concrete was investigated using SEM analysis. Moreover, to evaluate the commercial production of such concretes, the cost effectiveness of use of nanoparticles in concrete was also discussed. Desirability function analysis was also conducted to compare the overall performance of the tested concretes. The results revealed that use of nano materials in concrete had a positive effect on improving their mechanical performance. Nanoparticles increased the compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and energy absorption capacity of concrete. Use of nanoparticles didn't show any significant influence on the unit weight of concrete. Moreover, the results also showed that nano materials didn't have a good influence on the impact performance of concrete. SEM analysis showed that use of nanoparticles improved the microstructure of concrete.
PROBLEMS OF REALIZATION OF THE RIGHT TO APPEAL TO THE COURT FOR PROTECTION IN THE CONTEXT OF INTRODUCTION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN CIVIL PROCEEDINGS IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
Authors:   International University Ala-Too, Yunusova Khadicha
Published: December 2023

The implementation of the program to digitalize the work of judicial system has made a lot of positive changes in ensuring access to justice for citizens. But as practice shows, in civil proceedings there are also negative sides, starting from the very first stage: from the filing of an application. This article is devoted to several problems of realization of the right to appeal to the court for protection at the stage of filing an application in civil proceedings in the Kyrgyz Republic. These include the lack of legislative regulation of the mechanism for submitting an electronic application, the absence of an electronic digital signature for the vast majority of the population for various reasons. This paper was presented at the International Scientific and Practical Conference “E-justice: Challenges and Opportunities in the Digital Era” (September 26-27, 2022, v. Sary -Oi, Issyk-Kul region, Kyrgyzstan) and published with support of Volkswagen Foundation (Germany).
David Starčević u raskolu Stranke prava 1895.
Authors: Trutanić Jure
Published: December 2023

The fracturing of the Party of Right in October 1895 into the Frankist (frankovac) and Homeland (domovinaš) political factions indubitably constituted one of the key events in modern Croatian political history with regard to the proposed modes for resolving the Croatian question adopted by the political forces that grew out of these factions. Besides a complete shift at the platform level, the complex transformation of the Rightist movement into a modern political party that accepted resolution of the Croatian statehood right question within the framework of the Dual Monarchy also created specific political casualties in a handful of old-school Rightists carried over from the golden age of Rightism in the 1880s, such as Erazmo Barčić, Juraj Rukavina and, finally, David Starčević. The author analyses the dramatic case of David Starčević, which entails deeper insight into the gradual fraying of the party, on the basis of original archival materials, the relevant political press and other published sources and literature. David Starčević, the elder nephew of Ante Starčević, earned the status of people’s tribune with his rhetorical skill and talent for agitation, and as a victim of prosecution by Khuen-Héderváry’s regime he had the halo of a Rightist martyr. Even though he was once his uncle’s ‘right-hand man’, he was expelled from the Zagreb club of the Party of Right due to an ultimatum put forth by Ante Starčević himself, as demonstrated by a defamatory letter sent by the latter to David, preserved in the bequest of Dalmatian Rightist Ante Trumbić. In the struggle of two different factions for Ante Starčević’s favour, David was unanimously expelled from the club, even though all of its members were entirely aware that they were perpetrating an injustice against him. The removal of David Starčević, who had enjoyed a considerable reputation among the Rightists and threatened their notions most suited Josip Frank and Fran Folnegović by all indications. To affirm himself in Ante Starčević’s eyes, Frank successfully exploited David’s younger brother, Mile, who had lived with the ‘Old Man’ for the preceding ten years and had the latter’s complete confidence. David’s expulsion, with the intent of compromising his reputation, served as a significant step in the outcome in which Ante Starčević would bequeath his political legacy to Mile – not just his blessing, but also his property, including the newly-constructed Starčević Hall, which gave the entire dispute a crucial financial aspect. As the long-time leader of the Pure Party of Right, Frank would thereby also gain political legitimacy thanks to Mile’s intercession.
Kronologija zbivanja u ustaškom logoru Jankapuszta
Authors: Aralica Višeslav
Published: December 2023

In this article a chronological survay of the famous training camp of Ustasha pre-war terrorist organization based in Hungary, called Jankapuszta, is presented. The camp was active from autumn of 1931 till summer of 1934. The survay is based primarily on the archival data kept in Croatian archives, consisting mainly of the reports from the Jugoslav inteligence agencies, namely the gendarmerie, police and counter-espionage representatives. Those reports, although very often exaggerated and incorrect, shed a light on life, training and activities of the Croatian political refugees that joined the ranks of Ustasha terrorist organization inside the camp Jankapuszta. They also show that the importance of that particular training camp for the Ustasha terorists, the most famous one of many that existed before the Second World war, was overrated due mainly to the propaganda reasons. In reality, military training in the camp – the main reason of its existance in the first place – has never been established in the manner that the leadeship of Ustasha organization wanted it to be. The terrorist and propaganda activities from the camp Jankapuszta were of very limited scope and, in most cases, can be considered as failures. The frequent fluctuation, unrest and unreliability of the manpower inside the camp contributed to the gradual demise of the camp already in the early summer of 1934.
Uloga Grge Gamulina u kulturnoj politici 1950ih: prilog istraživanju
Authors: Galjer Jasna
Published: December 2023

Setting forth from the thesis that Gamulin’s role in shaping key phenomena has been unjustifiably categorized by the political nature of his views and therefore mostly given a negative connotation, this paper critically redefines his contribution to the discipline of art criticism of the first half of the 1950s. The intention is to shed light on the insufficiently known segments of Grgo Gamulin’s contribution to the formative processes of affirming criticism in the internationalization of the local art scene in that period based on the research into documentation from the Archives of the International Association of Art Critics AICA (Rennes). By analysing these data in the context of socialist Yugoslavia’s promotion and networking on the global stage, the purpose is to argue their positions within the context of then current cultural policy and initiate debate on the results redefined in this manner. By doing so, the different positions of genre media and the thematic and ideological settings that dictated his work in the field of art criticism as a symptom of the period in question are examined and critically analysed.
El pozo es mío: tópicos líricos en torno a los acuíferos en la tradición hispánica y en la árabe magrebí
Authors: Abenójar Sanjuán Óscar
Published: December 2023

En la lírica ibérica e iberoamericana, la mayoría de los elementos y los espacios acuáticos tienen un significado traslaticio ligado a la sexualidad o a la fertilidad. Sin embargo, en algunas coplas populares, determinados ingenios relacionados con el agua –entre ellos los pozos, las fuentes o las acequias– también pueden designar, en clave metafórica, los genitales femeninos. Esta identificación no es exclusiva del repertorio poético-musical de la península Ibérica: en el cancionero folclórico del noroeste de África, abundan asimismo las canciones tradicionales en que esos mismos acuíferos aluden a la vagina. En este trabajo se formula una hipótesis que podría explicar por qué esos elementos acuáticos pueden evocar específicamente el sexo femenino. Y, para exponer los indicios que han llevado a esa deducción, se presentan los resultados de un análisis de los tropos en torno a los surtidores, los canales y los depósitos de agua en el cancionero hispánico y en el árabe-magrebí. En los primeros apartados se exponen y comentan los símbolos y metáforas relacionados con esos acuíferos; y, en la sección reservada a las conclusiones, se interpretan las diferencias en el entorno paisajístico en que aparecen integrados los pozos, las fuentes y las acequias en las dos tradiciones poéticas.
Les cançons occitanes obtingudes per Palmira Jaquetti i Maria Carbó a la Vall d’Aran. Assaig de regularització formal i aspectes lingüístics
Authors: Carrera Baiget Aitor
Published: December 2023

Aquest article s’interessa per les cançons en occità recollides per Palmira Jaquetti i Maria Carbó a la Vall d’Aran durant l’any 1925, a partir dels materials que van ser recollits per primera vegada per Oriol (2020). Com que el sistema de transcripció de les col·lectores no correspon a la grafia normativa actual, el primer objectiu és d’oferir-ne una versió regularitzada. Al mateix temps, però, aquest article també vol fer una lectura i una interpretació tan clares com sigui possible d’aquestes mateixes cançons i, per tant, mirar d’establir allò que Jaquetti i Carbó van sentir oralment a la Vall d’Aran independentment del fet que determinades composicions presentin eventuals variacions amb relació a altres versions en circulació i que alguns elements puguin semblar dubtosos o oferir més d’una interpretació. En comentarem igualment els fets lingüístics més remarcables, sobretot pel que fa al possible origen geogràfic de determinades peces que semblen tenir el seu origen en altres latituds occitanes o que presenten elements que no s’adiuen amb les característiques lingüístiques de les poblacions on han estat recollides. Tot plegat ens ha de permetre de conèixer més en detall no només els itineraris que poden haver seguit totes aquelles cançons en el context estrictament aranès, sinó també en un marc més ampli que tingui en compte àmplies zones del domini lingüístic occità.

It is estimated that depression affects more than 300 million people in worldwide. Unfortunately, the current method of psychiatric evaluation requires a great effort on the part of clinicians to collect complete information. The aim of this paper is determine the optimal time intervals to detect depression using genetic algorithms and machine learning techniques; from motor activity readings of 55 participants during a week at one-minute intervals. The time intervals with the best performance in detecting depression in individuals were selected by applying Genetic Algorithms (GA). Methodology. 385 observations of the study participants were evaluated, obtaining an accuracy of 83.0 % with Logistic Regression (LR). Conclusion. There is a relationship between motor activity and people with depression since it is possible to detect it using machine learning techniques. However, the changes in the variables of the time intervals could be established as key factors since, at different times, they could give good or bad results because the motor activity in the patients could vary. However, the results present a first approximation for developing tools that help the opportune and objective diagnosis of depression.

Tiered Data Envelopment as method for clustering suppliers
Authors: Dobos Imre
Published: December 2023

Effective supplier management requires continuous monitoring of the performance and capabilities of one’s supplier base. Although the literature often focuses on ranking, it has lately become increasingly important to group suppliers according to their capabilities. In this paper, we compare two clustering methods. The application of Cluster Analysis (CA) has been widely discussed in the literature. Tiered Data Envelopment Analysis (TDEA) is also well-known in the decision-making literature, but is nonetheless seldom employed in supplier evaluation. CA is only suitable for group formation on a nominal scale, whereas the TDEA method during group formation allows the groups to be formed on an ordinal scale. TDEA may therefore prove to be the more suitable method for ordinal group formation. This article attempts to bridge a research gap, which arises since the two methods are infrequently employed in supplier selection. A numerical example is used to compare their application.

In some examinations, the changes in performance measures and the efficiency of entities should be addressed over a span of time despite the undesirable outputs and unsatisfactory convexity property. In this study, the performance of processes is analyzed over several periods of time by presenting a multi-period model based on the free disposal hull (FDH) approach, incorporating undesirable outputs. Using the product of availability, performance (efficiency) and quality, the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is calculated which shows the level of productivity. After estimating the performance and OEE, an inverse multi-period FDH model is introduced to measure the input changes for the changes made to outputs in different time periods. The proposed approaches are used in the automotive industry to analyze the performance and changes in input measures over multiple periods of time. The results show that the proposed technique is reasonable for assessing the multi-period efficiency, the period and overall OEE of the systems, and the input changes related to several periods while the convexity assumption is violated.

This research addresses the utilization of user-defined and web-based data for decision-making in recreational activities, focusing on the case of scuba diving, a globally significant recreational pursuit. While a wealth of user-generated information is available on the internet for various leisure activities, harnessing this data involves extensive data collection and organization efforts. Our proposed methodology involves the collection and organization of user reviews, both in verbal and quantitative forms, to create a pertinent dataset for applying multiple criteria decision methodologies to classify diving sites worldwide. An initial dataset containing over 14,000 diving sites worldwide is aggregated into 721 regions and these regions are classified using UTADIS methodology. The research showcases how user-generated review data can be transformed into valuable information, applying classification algorithms of multiple criteria decision analysis within the context of scuba diving. Furthermore, the proposed approach in this research holds the potential to serve as a model for leveraging user-generated data in decision-making processes across various service sectors such as hospitality and leisure that highly rely on customer experience by providing new insights on how more data-driven approaches can be utilized.
Non-linear averaging-based operators of pseudo-hesitant fuzzy elements and an application
Authors: Keikha Abazar , Rashid Tabasam
Published: December 2023

Data modeling/aggregating, in many uncertain real-world' problems such as decision-making processes, has gotten more attention in recent years. Due to a variety of uncertainty sources, various types of fuzzy sets, and various types of averaging-based aggregation functions have been proposed. The power average operator (PAO), as a nonlinear operator, is more appropriate than other averaging-based functions for situations where different values are given on a single subject. In this paper, PAO will be extended to be used in the aggregation process of given pseudo-hesitant fuzzy elements (pseudo-HFEs), and some needed properties have been discussed, too. Then, four kinds of PAO with pseudo-HFEs, i.e., power average operator of pseudo-HFEs, power weighted average operator of pseudo-HFEs, power ordered weighted average operator of pseudo-HFEs and power hybrid average operator of pseudo-HFEs, will be defined. To solve a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem, the evaluation step done by both decision-makers and self-assessment will be quantified by pseudo-HFEs. Then the PAO will be applied to aggregate the row elements of the resulting decision matrix. The ranking orders of obtained pseudo-HFEs, show the options' orders. Finally, the proposed method will be used to solve a multi-attribute group decision-making problem, illustrated numerically, analyzed, and validated.

The scientific and grey literature have highlighted the increasing relevance of the social impact of research. More and more, funding and evaluation agencies are using social impact as a required criterion when assessing the excellence of research proposals and researchers’ CV. However, research has identified elemental confusions about what social impact is in most research proposals, CVs and consulting companies. Based on the communicative methodology which co-led the creation and elaboration of the priorities of social impact and co-creation, the study presented in this paper includes the knowledge co-created along years of dialogues with scientists and citizens and a documentary analysis of four official documents on social impact and researcher evaluation. Results identify the first scientific six guidelines to date on how to include researchers’ actual or potential social impact in the research proposals and CVs1) To avoid confusing social impact with dissemination or transference; 2) To identify the concrete social impact of the specific scientific knowledge created by the authors; 3) To precise the concrete indicators of each social impact; 4) To specify the concrete sources; 5) To identify the interactive social impact; 6) To include the potential social impact.

BackgroundAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant blood cancer of T-cell or B-cell lineages.

ObjectivesThe aim was to obtain local data on the demographic features of pediatric patients with ALL and correlate them with a five-year survival rate.

Patients and MethodsA retrospective cohort study was performed on 94 ALL pediatric patients aged 1-14 admitted to the Hiwa Hospital from 2014 to 2016. The diagnostic methods, clinical features, and histological and biochemical parameters were reviewed. Further, a five-year survival rate was assessed.

ResultsThe mean±SD (standard deviation) of patients’ ages at diagnosis was 5.2±3.1 years, ranging from 1 to 14. Males were 57.4%, and females were 42.6%, with a male-to-female ratio of (1.35:1). Most patients (61.7%) suffered from the low-risk (A), and the majority of patients (90.4%) were in remission. The five-year survival rate was 80.9%. The associations of age groups, gender, white blood cell (WBC) groups, risk groups, and post-induction status with a five-year survival rate were insignificant (p-values of >.05). The association of immunophenotyping with the five-year survival rate was statistically significant (p-value = .014).

ConclusionThe 5-year survival rate was 80.9% in the current study. Further, although the frequency of some characteristics was more than others, the associations of the patient characteristics with the five-year survival rates were insignificant, except for the association of the five-year survival rate with immunophenotyping which was significant.

Published: December 2023

BackgroundQuality of life is an important parameter that needs to be considered when evaluating the outcome of patientsreceiving healthcare; this is especially the case for patients with long-term chronic diseases. Furthermore, withthe increasing medical ability to prolong life, the patient’s quality of life has become an increasingly legitimatemedical outcome. Therefore, assessment of patients’ quality of life not only helps assess the quality of thedialysis but also is useful to guide nephrologists to develop better interventions and plans of care for the future.
ObjectivesTo assess the quality of life and factors affecting hemodialysis patients.
Patients and MethodsAn observational, cross-sectional study was conducted among (209) patients on maintenance hemodialysisat six major hemodialysis centres in Sulaimani Governorate. They are using a questionnaire face-to-faceinterview for ten months, from 7/Sep./2021 to 10/Jun/2022. Data analysis by the IBM SPSS program,quantitative variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (M±SD), median and interquartile, andresults from qualitative variables are expressed as percentages. P-value < 0.05 assume the significance forresults.
ResultsOverall mean quality of life was near (37%) in (100%) of normal persons, with an SD (of 13.26). Over one-thirdwere in the age group of (50-64) years, and the number increased by age. Nearly equal male-to-female ratio(50.2male, while 49.8 female). (46.4%) were illiterates, and (67%) were Unemployed. Claimed that they had noincome (65.6 %) and diabetes mellitus among patients (45.9%). Demographic factors, dialysis adequacy, andclinical factors are among the factors that affect the quality of life.
ConclusionDespite regular hemodialysis, the patient’s quality of life on maintenance hemodialysis is severely affected.Both clinical and nonclinical factors, such as demographic factors, Dialysis adequacy, comorbidities, andothers, were severely affecting the quality of life of patients on maintenance hemodialysis, especially physicalactivities.
