Background: The main benefit of home-based blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is the potential approach to reduce the risk of white-coat hypertension (HTN) and to encourage patients to take ownership of their condition. This study was conducted to assess the role of HBPM in treatment follow-up in a cohort of hypertensive patients.
Materials and methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted from December 2017 to May 2018. A total of 100 patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected by purposive sampling from Medicine Outdoor of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). In total, 100 hypertensive patients were enrolled, and informed consent was obtained. Subsequently, the study subjects received information and training on BP self-management and performed 2 resting measurements per day for 4 days per week for 3 months. All measurements were performed using validated BP monitors.The study endpoints included patient awareness, attainment of BP goals, adherence to antihypertensive treatment, lifestyle modification, assessment of discrepancy between office and HBPM, and white coat HTN or masked HTN at 3 months. SPSS version 22.0 was used for data analysis and reporting.
Results: Overall, the mean age was 57.76 ±12.60 years with a range of 34 – 80 years. Males were more prevalent than females, and the ratio was 1.17:1. The majority of cases (76.0%) had established HTN with a history of taking medication, whereas others were non-compliant with medications. Among them 47% had obesity, and 24% had diabetes mellitus. Of the patients, 91% adherence to HBP monitoring, 84.0% adherence to medication, and 75.0% achieved their target BP. The achievement of target blood pressure was significantly higher among the study subjects who adhered to HBP monitoring, and the p-value was < 0.04 (Fisher’s Exact test).
Conclusion:  In a cohort of patients with arterial hypertension, information, and training on BP self-measurement and direct involvement of patients using HBPM led to improvement in BP control and could be an effective method by incorporating it into the usual care of hypertensive patients in the hypertension management center of the community.

Authors: Tinu Suzana Malek , Parveen Rahnuma , Haque Monjurul , Yasmin Rubina
Published: January 2024

Background: Wellbeing of the elderly population in terms of their health and nutritional status are often ignored and unidentified in the community. This study aimed at assessing the nutritional status of the geriatric patients and their quality of life (QOL) attending OPD of Mugda Medical College Hospital.                            
Method: This survey was conducted in the OPD of Mugda Medical College Hospital from June to December 2022 through a cross-sectional analytical method. The study tools were the Mini-Nutritional Assessment tool and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires which were used to observe the level of nutrition and quality of life among geriatric population respectively.                                                                                         
Result: Of all the respondents, about half (46%) were at risk for malnutrition and about 28% were malnourished while 26% respondents’ level of nutrition was normal. About 62% respondents had poor QOL, whereas, 31% had fair QOL and only 7% had good QOL. Also, nutritional status and quality of life of the elderly had significant relationship.                                                                                   
Conclusion: The impact of poor nutrition on the quality of life and physical ability of geriatric population is remarkably worthy of attention. The ageing process is challenging and raises public health concerns. Reduction of the observed prevalence of malnutrition and thereby upgrading the quality of life of elderly population should be more focused on and proper attention to this issue is crucial in the community as well as national level.

In terms of communication skills, many of us have limitations and shortcomings or what we are more familiar with is speech impairment Speaking is the ability to pronounce articulated sounds or words to express, express and convey thoughts, ideas and feelings. Communication skills can include many ways, including using verbal skills, namely verbally and non-verbally. In Indonesia, there are two sign languages used, namely Indonesian sign language (BISINDO) and Indonesian sign system (SIBI). BISINDO is a sign language that appears naturally in Indonesian culture and is practical for use in everyday life so that BISINDO has several variations in each region. The flex sensor has a thin and densely curved shape so that the flex sensor can be used as a motion detection and finger curve. Flex sensor application for human movement detection, patient monitoring. Therefore, hand-to-letter/text sign language translators using flexible sensors is a very important problem today. The method carried out is system design using tools and components used in research. This tool using the working principle in this system is to translate the sign language of alphabetic letters using flexible sensors. Design sign language translation of alphabetic letters using flexible sensors. The test to display the letters of the alphabet A-Z has a total minimum and maximum resistance at a flexible session of 1000 ohms with a voltage of 5V each. The result of this data is that there is no error in the play because the range value does not violate each other with other range values

Sortino(γ): A Modified Sortino Ratio With Adjusted Threshold
Authors: Kroll Yoram , Marchioni Andrea , Ben-Horin Moshe
Published: January 2024

A portfolio’s Sortino ratio is strongly affected by the risk-free vs. risky assets mix, except for the case where the threshold, T is equal to the risk-free rate. Therefore, if T differs from the risk-free rate, the portfolio’s Sortino ratio could potentially be increased by merely changing the mix of the risk-free and the risky components. The widely used Sharpe ratio, on the other hand, does not share this caveat.
We introduce a modified Sortino ratio, Sortino(γ), which is invariant concerning the portfolio’s risk-free vs. risky assets mix and eliminates the above deficiency. The selected threshold T(γ), mimics the portfolio composition in the sense that it equals to the risk-free rate plus γ times the portfolio’s equity risk premium. Higher selected γ reflects higher risk/loss aversion. We propose a procedure for optimizing the composition of the risky portion of the portfolio to maximize the Sortino(γ) ratio. In addition, we show that Sortino(γ) is consistent with first and second-order stochastic dominance with riskless asset rules.
Lead Independent Director: Impact on Firm Performance and Financial Misstatements
Authors: Chandar Nandini , Zheng Xiaochuan
Published: January 2024

This paper examines whether the presence of a lead independent director improves firm performance and reduces financial misstatements. Using a sample of Fortune 1000 companies in the year 2013, we find that the effect of lead independent directors on firm performance hinges on CEO –Chair duality. For companies with CEO-Chair duality, the existence of a lead independent director is positively associated with improved firm performance as measured by Tobin’s Q. In contrast, we do not find a similar association for companies separating the CEO and board chair positions. In addition, we do not find an association between the existence of a lead independent director and the likelihood of misstatements. These results suggest that the existence of a lead independent director helps improve a company’s corporate governance.

Eksplisitasi secara umum berarti tersurat dan misogini adalah merendahkan perempuan. Misogini telah diteliti beberapa kali tetapi masih jarang diteliti dari sisi penerjemahan terutama dengan menggunakan konteks serial Netflix atau sejenisnya sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis 3 hal yaitu misogini, strategi penerjemahan, dan eksplisitasi pada terjemahan dalam serial Netflix Inventing Anna.. Penelitian ini menggunakan metodologi deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik simak dan catat. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode telaah pustaka yang mana adalah tayangan Netflix dalam serial Inventing Anna. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa misogini dalam serial Inventing Anna didominasi oleh misogini pejoratif (misogyny pejorative) dengan total data sebanyak 40% dan disusul dengan data perlakuan misogini (misogynistic treatment) 30%, misogini derogasi (misogynistic derogation) 20% , dan serangan personal berdasarkan gender (gendered personal attacks) 10%. Hasil juga menunjukkan bahwa strategi penerjemahan yang paling banyak dipakai adalah strategi pemindahan (transfer) 50% sedangkan  data strategi lain seperti strategi penyesuaian/dislokasi (dislocation) 30%. Strategi pemecahan (decimation) dan strategi penghapusan (delection) menjadi strategi penerjemahan yang paling sedikit ditemukan dengan masing-masing data sebanyak 10%. Hasil lain menunjukkan bahwa eksplisitasi wajib (obligatory) merupakan eksplisitasi yang paling banyak ditemukan dengan data sebanyak 70% dibandingkan dengan data eksplisitasi lain seperti eksplisitasi opsional (optional) 10% dan eksplisitasi pragmatis (pragmatic) 20% sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa eksplisitasi pada serial Inventing Anna tidak banyak menggunakan istilah budaya dan secara keseluruhan terjemahan telah netral sehingga  eksplisitasi opsional (optional) dan eksplisitasi pragmatis (pragmatic) sedikit ditemukan.

Industrial tuna and artisanal fisheries targeting multiple species in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) interact with the Critically Endangered East Pacific (EP) leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea. In 2021, a revised Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) resolution on sea turtles aimed to reduce sea turtle bycatch in EPO industrial tuna fisheries and ensure their safe handling and release. A new ecological risk assessment approach—Ecological Assessment for the Sustainable Impacts of Fisheries (EASI-Fish)—was used to assess vulnerability status and to better understand the potential efficacy of 70 scenarios that compared simulated conservation and management measures (CMMs) for EPO industrial (purse-seine and longline) and artisanal (longline and gillnet) fisheries to the status quo in 2019. In 2019, a fishing mortality proxy (F̃2019) and the breeding stock biomass per recruit (BSR2019) exceeded precautionary biological reference points (F80% and BSR80%), classifying the stock as ‘most vulnerable’. Industrial and artisanal longline fisheries had the highest impacts because they had the highest areal overlap with the modelled EP leatherback distribution. Of the 70 CMM scenarios, 42 resulted in significant improvements in vulnerability status (i.e. to ‘least vulnerable’). The use of large circle hooks, finfish bait, and best handling and release practices each decreased vulnerability; however, the most effective scenarios involved using these 3 measures in concert. The benefits predicted from EASI-Fish for CMM scenarios assume full compliance and attaining the modelled levels of efficacy, our modelling provides stakeholders with evidence-based recommendations to address key threats to EP leatherback turtles to improve their conservation status by reducing fishing impacts.

Published: January 2024

It is well known that the training level of a muscle belongs to the parameters that affect the H-reflex response amplitude. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of training type on H- and T-reflex response parameters. For this purpose, 20 long-distance athletes (group I, test group), 18 short-distance athletes (group II, test group) and 20 non-trained subjects (group III, control group) were involved in this study in which the H- and T-reflex amplitude and latency values were measured. The H-reflex amplitude and latency values found in groups I, II and III were 3.64±0.28 mV and 26.88±1.45 ms, 3.17±0.26 mV and 26.19±1.89 ms, and 6.07±0.34 mV and 26.77±1.32 ms, respectively. The T-reflex amplitude and latency values of the groups I, II and III were 3.30±0.18 mV and 32.01±1.02 ms, 3.11±0.20 mV and 31.47±1.16 ms, 4.24±0.21 mV and 31.47±1.16 ms, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups with respect to latencies of H- and T-reflexes (p>0.05). In both test groups, the amplitudes of the H-reflex and T-reflex were significantly smaller than the control group (p<0.05). The results of this study suggest that training of muscles affect the H- and T-reflex response parameters.
Regulation of Na+/H+ exchanger by urogastrone, a potent activator of cell proliferation
Authors: Barišić K , Karužić O , Petrik J , Grubišić TŽ
Published: January 2024

We tested the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) activity using urogastrone for treatment of Wistar rats and rat kidney tissue slices. NHE activity was monitored in isolated kidney brush border membrane vesicles by following fluorescence quenching of acridine orange. A significant increase of NHE activity was detected as early as 5 min after addition of urogastrone to rat kidney slices in vitro. In Wistar rats treated with urogastrone we also found increased NHE activity (by about 12 %). Both changes of NHE activity were the result of a significant rise of Vmax value and an apparent decrease in Km value in in vitro experiments. The rise of NHE activity caused by urogastrone was sensitive to the inhibitors of transcription and translation. The presence of phosphatase inhibitor, NaF, elevated NHE activity of non-stimulated as well as of urogastrone-stimulated exchanger, suggesting that phosphorylation plays an important role in Na+/H+ exchange. Osmolarity of the medium seems to regulate NHE activity in such a manner that both hyper- and hypoosmolar conditions inhibited NHE activity. The absence of Ca2+ions produced a 60 % decrease of NHE activity. The chemical modification of histidine residues with diethyl pyrocarbonate or SH groups with N-ethylmaleimide inhibited NHE activity.

AI, Data Curation and the Data Readiness of Heritage Collections: Exploring the Swedish Newspaper Archive at KBLab
Authors: Sikora Justyna , Haffenden Chris
Published: January 2024

The increasing availability of digital material and tools for large-scale computational analysis has produced a growing interest in big data approaches in the humanities and social sciences. However, the vital role of data curation as a precondition for such projects remains underappreciated. This paper details the work of KBLab at the National Library of Sweden in testing AI tools to help curate the digitized newspaper archive and make it more amenable to quantitative, machine learning-based research. It provides a description of the library’s newspaper data to offer orientation to researchers interested in the material, before turning to recount the results of our exploration with automated data curation. It concludes by sketching possible next steps for these exploratory efforts, as well as situating this project within a broader recent turn to conceptualize and prioritize the notion of data readiness. Its principal argument is in drawing attention to data curation as an essential part of any digital research project, not something prior to or external from the research process.
On two SweLL learner corpora – SweLL-pilot and SweLL-gold
Authors: Volodina Elena
Published: January 2024

SweLL – Swedish Learner Language – is a unifying term for the infrastructure module for research on Swedish as a Second Language (L2), deployed and maintained as a part of bigger infrastructure of Språkbanken Text at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The SweLL infrastructure module consists of a number of learner data collections, and tools for annotation and management of learner data. As a result, many of its components contain the prefix SweLL in their names, which has created some confusion, especially with regards to the two corpora. In this article we shortly introduce the various SweLL-components with a special focus on the differences between the two SweLL corpora.

Published: January 2024

This paper presents the Swedish National Doctoral School in Digital Humanities: Data, Culture, and Society – Critical Perspectives (DASH) that is run in 2023–2027 by Uppsala University, Umeå University, Linnaeus University, and Gothenburg University. Though Swedish universities have established PhD courses, MA programmes and training in digital humanities previously, DASH is the first encompassing educational programme in digital humanities at the doctoral level. The present paper discusses the rationale behind the DASH doctoral school, its role in the landscape of Swedish humanities infrastructures, and provides insights from the first PhD courses and seminars. The focus of DASH is to equip PhD candidates in humanities and social sciences with knowledge and skills necessary to pursue high quality, innovative and critical research in digital humanities. DASH aims to provide knowledge in relation to digital research, its methods, tools, and critical perspectives, and to build and strengthen the networks among early career scholars. DASH facilitates access and use of the resources in the national infrastructures in the humanities, but also emerges as an element in the infrastructure by providing new resources and competences.
Legal Protection for Medical Volunteers in the Implementation of Emergency Medical Measures
Authors: Pont Anna Veronica
Published: January 2024

The presence of medical volunteers during a medical emergency is very much needed and expected. Their presence is temporary according to the duration of the crisis. However, the current regulations do not explicitly discuss legal protection for medical volunteers during a health emergency. This type of research is normative juridical research that focuses on examining the application of rules or norms in positive law, especially concerning legal synchronization. Due to the type of normative juridical research, the approach used is the statute approach, which is taken by examining various laws that have to do with the legal issues being handled. The results of the study explain that the form of legal protection for medical volunteers in an emergency period can be understood and developed in the context of health, disaster, and employment regulations, namely Law Number 36 the Year 2009 concerning Health, Law Number 29 the Year 2004 concerning Medical Practice, Law No. 36 of 2014 concerning Health Workers and Law Number 38 of 2014 concerning Nursing, Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 75 of 2019 concerning Health Crisis Management, Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. For its implementation, several Decrees of the Minister of Health and Circular Letters of the Ministry of Manpower were issued which regulate and guarantee legal protection for health workers, including medical volunteers, during a health emergency which includes protection of work norms, protection of Occupational Health and Safety norms and protection labor social security norms.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are essential fatty acids for humans. Omega-3 fatty acids have various positive effects on health, especially cardiovascular-related ones. This study aims to determine the effect of omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin D combination on the TG/HDL-C ratio in high fat fed Rattus norvegicus. The research design is experimental study with a post-test-only control group design. This study used 24 male rats aged 3–4 months with a body weight of 250–300 grams which were divided into four groups; negative control group, positive control group; treatment group one; and treatment group two. The high-fat diet (HFD) is an additional (emulsion) feed added to standard feed with increased fat composition. The results showed that increased triglyceride (TG) levels of 83.40 mg/dL and HDL levels of 62.60 mg/dL after consumed high-fat diet. There was a significant decrease in TG levels of 54.15 mg/dL (p=0.026) and a decrease in HDL of 53.00 mg/dL (p>0.05, α=0,05) after administration of Omega-3 and Vitamin D combination. Conclusions in this study is the intake Omega-3 and Vitamin D combination has a positive effect on TG levels. Still, this positive effect must be accompanied by limiting the fat intake to the body. Meanwhile, combining Omega-3 and Vitamin D did not significantly affect HDL levels.
