Published: January 2023

Abstract To evaluate time evolution of receiving advice on healthy habits among Brazilians with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Cross-sectional study with data from the 2013 and 2019 National Health Survey. We used linear regression weighted by least squares of variance to verify time evolution of the outcome estimating the annual percentage change (APC) presented according to sex, skin color, age group, and quintiles of wealth index. The analytical sample in 2013 was 11,129 individuals with hypertension and 3,182 individuals with diabetes, and in 2019 19,107 individuals with hypertension and 6,317 individuals with diabetes. For those with hypertension, there were statistically significant reductions in receiving advice for not smoking (APC: -1.49), not drinking excessive alcoholic beverages (APC: -1.48), ingesting less salt (APC: -0.56), and for all healthy habits (APC: -1.17). For those with diabetes, statistically significant reductions were observed only for not smoking (APC: -1.13) and not drinking excessive alcoholic beverages (APC: -1.11). The results suggest a reduction in all types of advice on healthy habits evaluated for hypertension and diabetes, with greater magnitude among individuals belonging to the richest quintiles.

Abstract The litter deposited on the soil surface at various stages of decomposition is important for primary productivity that impacts the microbial communities and soil carbon storage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accumulation and decomposition of cultural residues of Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd. ex. Spreng) Schum, Paullinia cupana (Mart.) Ducke, Bixa orellana L., and forest in the Amazon region. The study was carried out in the São Francisco settlement, Canutama in the south of Amazonas, in a randomized block experimental design, and the treatments consisted of four areas with different crops: 1 - P. cupana; 2 - T. grandiflorum; 3 - B. orellana; 4 - Native woodland area (forest), in time subdivided plots: 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, and 330 days after the distribution of the bags in the field, all with four repetitions. To evaluate the contribution and fractions of litter, conical collectors were used in each area, and collections were performed monthly in the period from March 2020 to February 2021. The estimate of the decomposition rate of the litter was done by quantifying the loss of mass, using litter bags, which allow for a direct analysis of the rate of decay over time. The forest and P. cupana environments presented the highest litter production, and greater deposition when compared to environments cultivated with T. grandiflorum and B. orellana. The forest and B. orellana areas showed the highest speed of decomposition, while the opposite situation occurred under T. grandiflorum and P. cupana cultivation.

ABSTRACT: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in humans is defined as the decrease of total hemoglobin concentration and the non-production of the adult hemoglobin subtype 2 - HbA2 (α2δ2 chains), which is considered a marker of IDA severity in humans, dosed together with the iron serum. This study aimed to determine the standard of hemoglobin types in piglets induced to experimentally IDA in the first 21 days of life (delivery to weaning). In the present study, 40 piglets born from four naïve gilts, were randomly and equally assigned among the gilts. On the third day after delivery, the groups were randomly distributed in different environments (cement and clay floors) and according to the iron supplementation (iron dextran and placebo). Erythrocyte parameters, serum iron, and hemoglobin trait were analyzed at four moments between birth and weaning days. The group of piglets that did not receive iron dextran supplementation on the third-day post-birth and were placed in the pen without soil did not present HbA2 from the seventh day onwards on the agarose electrophoretogram (pH 8.6) and this observation was correlated to decrease of serum iron (ρ: 0.156, p=0.003) when compared to the other groups’ piglets that did not present iron deficiency. In the present study was possible to determine the swine hemoglobin pattern in IDA, since HbA2 was absent in piglets with IDA in comparison to the non-ferropenic groups and the correlation between the reduction of iron levels and the absence of HbA2.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT Oxyfluorfen is a pre-emergent herbicide applied via soil; however, the soil attributes have not been considered to predict the herbicide doses. This study aimed to evaluate the bioavailability of the oxyfluorfen herbicide in Brazilian Savanna soils with contrasting attributes. The experiment was carried out in a 6 x 8 factorial scheme, with 6 replications. The evaluated factors were soil types [Gleissolo Melânico distrófico - GMd (Typic Humaquept); Latossolo Vermelho ácrico - LVw (Rhodic Acrustox); Latossolo Vermelho distrófico - LVd (Rhodic Haplustox); Neossolo Quartzarênico órtico - RQo (Typic Quartzpsamment); Neossolo Flúvico Tb distrófico - RYbd (Fluventic Dystrustept); and washed sand] and oxyfluorfen doses (0; 360; 480; 720; 1,440; 2,880; 4,320; and 5,760 g a.i. ha-1). The herbicide bioavailability was determined according to the bioassay methodology. The dose that provided 80 % of Cucumis sativum control (C80%) ranged from 9.9 (LVw) to 1,884.4 g a.i. ha-1 (GMd), what can be attributed to the high sorption of the herbicide in the GMd, as observed by the adsorptive rate. The soil texture did not show correlation with the oxyfluorfen bioavailability. In the LVd, which is from the same order and with texture similar to that of the LVw, the C80% was 76 times higher (754.28 g a.i. ha-1). Furthermore, for the RYbd, which is a sandy soil, the C80% was even high (1,256.9 g a.i. ha-1). The cation exchange capacity (CEC) (-0.83**) was the only soil attribute able to predict the herbicide bioavailability. The oxyfluorfen bioavailability is highly dependent on the soil attributes, and, in Brazilian Savanna soils, it can be predicted using the CEC.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a interlocução terapeuta-sujeito com afasia no processo de interpretação e organização de história em quadrinhos. Métodos Estudo transversal, de natureza qualitativa. Os dados coletados foram de situações enunciativas audiogravadas e apresentadas descritivamente por quadros de interlocução (A1-T1) e (A2-T2), registrando atividade com Histórias em Quadrinhos (HQ), realizada em encontro do Grupo Interdisciplinar de Convivência da instituição, do qual participaram sujeitos com e sem afasia. Analisou-se a interlocução entre duas terapeutas em formação (T1 e T2) e dois sujeitos com afasia (A1 e A2). Resultados As interlocuções entre A1-T1 e A2-T2, ocorridas durante o processo de organização das HQ, evidenciaram posicionamentos diferentes das terapeutas, no que tange ao ouvido e ao narrado. A1 foi reconhecida por T1 como sujeito de linguagem, à medida que a terapeuta promoveu a disjunção, ou seja, encaminhou A1 à condição de locutor; o mesmo fato não ocorreu com A2 e T2, pois o primeiro não foi reconhecido como sujeito de linguagem, já que T2 manteve-se em conjunção, não conferindo lugar de fala a A2. Conclusão A enunciação benvenistiana configura-se como recurso teórico-metodológico para análise e intervenção clínica junto a sujeitos com afasia. O contexto de convivência grupal impõe-se como lócus de cuidado e formativo para as diferentes áreas de atenção às pessoas com afasia, articulando, interdisciplinarmente, aspectos da enunciação à prática terapêutica.

RESUMO Um defeito típico recorrente nas uniões soldadas, proveniente das condições climáticas como o vento e a umidade, é a presença de porosidades no cordão de solda. E, dependendo da severidade deste fator, poderá provocar a sua falha diante das solicitações mecânicas. Assim sendo, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo analisar quantitativamente a influência das diferentes velocidades de correntes de ar sobre o nível de porosidades em juntas soldadas pelo processo MIG/MAG. Para tanto foi realizado um levantamento da média das velocidades dos ventos na região nordeste e de posse desses dados, foram simuladas tais condições no laboratório durante a soldagem. E por fim, foram realizadas as análises nos cordões solda através de microscopia ótica e a quantificação dos poros para cada uma das condições. Concluiu-se que uma velocidade de correntes de ar no valor de 2,3 m/s proporcionou um nível de porosidade de 3,41 poros/cm², com dimensões médias de 3,96 mm, uma distância média em linha reta entre os poros de 7,97 mm e uma altura média do cordão de 9,0 mm. Já as amostras submetidas à velocidade de correntes de ar de 3,6 m/s apresentaram uma média de poros no valor de 2,31 poros/cm² por amostra, um diâmetro médio de poros igual a 3,57 mm, uma distância média em linha reta entre os poros de 6,40 mm e uma altura média do cordão de 9,77 mm.

Fibre Bragg grating sensor investigation on bond stress of steel-carbon fibre reinforced concrete
Authors: Wang Lei , Chen Junwen , Shen Ni , Fu Feng
Published: January 2023

Understanding the bonding stress distribution and reinforcement strain distribution between steel and carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer composite bars and concrete is essential to the design of concrete reinforced with such bars. Currently, the bond stress and reinforcement strain distribution patterns are not clear. Therefore, a series of pull-out tests was undertaken on concrete reinforced with steel and carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer composite bars, carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer bars and steel bars. With the help of fibre Bragg grating sensing technology, the reinforcement strain and bonding stress distribution were studied. The results showed that, for all specimens, the bond stress between the reinforcement and concrete was neither uniformly distributed nor reduced linearly along the bond length. For the steel and fibre-reinforced polymer composite reinforcement, the steel core strain value was less than the carbon fibre strain value at the same position. Based on the test results, a bonding stress model and bond stress distribution model were established. The two models agreed well with the test data and can be used to predict bond stress and bond stress distribution.

Sustainable return to work after depression – a comparative study among occupational physicians and affected employees Introduction: The number of sick days taken from work due to depression is steadily rising. A successful return to work (WE) is essential for sustainable reintegration. This study aims to identify factors to optimise WE and to investigate approaches for a sustainable WE after a depressive episode. Methods: Semi-structured expert interviews with senior occupational physicians (BÄ, n = 5) served to develop two surveys among BÄ (n = 180) and employees after a depressive episode (n = 192). Predictors of WE rating, workplace-based WE interventions and sustainable WE interventions were analysed using multiple hierarchical regression, chi-square difference and t-tests. Results: For BÄ, employee training on mental illness prevention was found to be the strongest predictor of overall WE rating, whereas understanding and appreciation in conversations and stigmatisation were the strongest predictors of overall WE rating by the employees. Compared to the employees, BÄ reported significantly more availability of workplace-based interventions. To prevent relapse, the employees prioritised sufficient time and financial security during the WE process more than BÄ. Conclusions: The study identified facilitating and hindering factors that can inform further research and practice to improve WE after depressive episodes. To redress the awareness gap about the availability of workplacebased interventions, regular contact between BÄ and employees is crucial. Several factors were considered to be of varying importance for relapse prevention by the two groups. Multiple perceptions and needs ought to be taken into account when planning the WE. Keywords: depression – return to work – sick leave – workplace – occupational medicine

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the use of graphene nanotubes to increase the thermal conductivity of a phase-changing material. Graphene nanotubes were dispersed in molten paraffin by ultrasonic treatment in an amount of 0.1–0.5 wt.%. The obtained samples of paraffin with graphene nanotubes were examined on a scanning calorimeter. All samples with different content of nanotubes during heating and cooling on the DSC curves had two peaks corresponding to the phase transitions of the main hydrocarbons that are part of the paraffin. The presence of nanotubes in paraffin did not significantly affect the shape of the DSC curves. Expe¬riments with sample heating in a thermostat in terms of the time delay in changing the temperature of the samples indicated an increase in the thermal conductivity of paraffin in the solid state when graphene nanotubes were added to it and a decrease in the liquid state. These effects increased with increasing mass content of nanotubes. The method of stationary heat flow was used to determine the coefficient of thermal conductivity of samples of a phase-changing material with nanotubes. According to the measurement results, the maximum increase in the thermal conductivity of paraffin in the solid state was 22 % at a nanotube concentration of 0.5 wt.%. The thermal conductivity coefficients of various materials with «contrasting» inclusions are compared accor¬ding to the results of calculations and experiments.

Published: January 2023

Cuproptosis, a copper-induced mechanism of mitochondrial-related cell death, has been implicated as a breakthrough in the treatment of cancer and has become a new treatment strategy. Furthermore, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can change the biological activities of tumor cells. Worldwide, lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is among the most common annoying tumors. LncRNAs related to cuproptosis are not researched at LUSC. Our research intends to develop a signature on the basis of cuproptosis-associated lncRNAs, which can predict LUSC prognosis and investigate LUSC immunological features. The TCGA database was used to retrieve LUSC transcriptome, clinical, and gene mutation data. For statistical analysis, we utilized the R program. We created a signature consisting of three cuproptosis-related lncRNAs in this investigation (including AC002467.1, LINC01740, and LINC02345). Survival analyses and Receiver Operating Characteristic curves demonstrated that this signature possessed powerful predictive capability. The signature’s ability to predict was confirmed by a Receiver Operating Characteristic curve and principal component analysis. Notably, the patient with a high-risk score and a high tumor mutation burden level had a lower survival time. Furthermore, the tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion analysis showed that these individuals with low-risk scores may benefit from immunotherapy. The signature constructed by three cuproptosis-associated lncRNAs may be prognostic markers of LUSC. It contributes to immunotherapy and offers LUSC’s therapy a new treatment direction.
MDL-LDA Agile Method v1
Authors: Prianes Freddie
Published: January 2023

As a guide in modeling the document labels using Latent Dirichlet allocation for archived documents in an Integrated Quality Assurance System (IQAS), the researchers used the agile method as it promotes flexibility, speed, and, most importantly, continuous improvement in developing, testing, documenting, and even after delivery of the software. Since the phases of this model are light, the teams are not bound by a rigid systematic-based process on pre-set constraints and restrictions as some other models, like the waterfall model, and can adjust changes whenever they are needed. This flexibility on every stage propagates creativity and freedom within processes. Furthermore, development teams can modify and re-prioritize the backlog, allowing for speedy implementation
Sea Star Illness Treatment Protocol v1
Authors: Rudek Tiffany
Published: January 2023

Sea Star Wasting Syndrome (SSWS) events of 2014 had a significant impact on the aquarium industry’s health management and medical treatment protocols for sick/injured sea stars. The subsequent prescription involved 30ppm TMP-S baths (4-6 hr/day) to manage secondary bacterial infections associated with the unidentified root cause for illness. In recent years, the use of TMP-S became ineffective for several of Oregon Coast Aquarium’s sea star medical cases. We observed several animals worsen during TMP-S treatment, sometimes dropping additional arms within one day. An alternative approach was investigated and adopted. The Oregon Coast Aquarium’s new methodology is outlined below and describes an experimental alternative to current industry practices, developed by Aquarist Staff and approved by OCAQ’s Veterinary Staff. Successful response has been observed in several species of Pacific Northwest sea stars (10-13 degrees C) and early detection/intervention provided the best prognosis. The dosages and treatment duration are still in a trial phase and may change over time. Many of the steps are performed concurrently to manage variables such as water quality, spawning activity and body condition. “By placing the sea star in a perfect environment that provides all necessary parameters to exist without environmental stressors, while also preventing opportunistic bacterial, fungal, and ciliate infestation, the stress symptoms that the star is exhibiting will be halted and the star will be free to utilize its immune system to recover.” –Tiffany Rudek
The relationship between the use of orthotics and foot deformity in cerebral palsy
Authors: KOCA Tuba Tülay
Published: January 2023

Aim: Foot deformities are seen in more than 50% of children with cerebral palsy (CP). These deformities may cause gait deviations and mobility disorders over time. We aimed to examine the relationship between orthosis use, gait disturbances, and foot deformities in patients with cerebral palsy. Here, we aimed to analyze the relationship between orthosis use and foot deformities.

Materials and Methods: The study was designed as cross-sectional, descriptive. One hundred and two patients who were admitted to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Health Care Committee were included. All patients were questioned about their age, birth history, maternal education level, orthosis use, surgery, and botulism toxin application.

Detailed neurological examination of all participants (including walking analysis and spasticity) was performed by the same experienced physiatrist.

Results: A total of 102 patients (41 males/61 females; mean age 10.1 ± 6.8 years) were included in the study. The most common type of CP was spastic tetraparesis (37.3%). Most commonly, crouch gait was observed in 23.5% of the patients.

The rate of orthosis use in the lower extremity was 21.6%. The median duration of the use was 60 min/day, and the most frequent orthosis type was knee ankle foot orthosis (6.9%). Foot deformities were found in 84.3% of the patients (29.4%), and the most common foot deformity type was equinovarus. Also, 15.7% of the patients had botulism toxin application, and 9.8% had surgery. Foot deformity was observed less frequently in orthosis users (P= 0.042). Foot deformity was observed in 54.5% (n = 12) of the patients using orthosis. A negative correlation was found between spasticity score and ambulation (P= 0.00).

Conclusion: Foot deformities were found high in non daily orthosis use group. With the widespread use of orthosis in children with CP, the development of foot deformities can be prevented.
Феномен присутствия. Терминология и определения

Published: January 2023

Данная статья посвящена понятию присутствия в виртуальной среде (опосредованному присутствию). В ней подробно разбирается основная терминология, связанная с виртуальным опытом: понятие присутствия, подходы различных школ, изучающих присутствие, виды и компоненты присутствия. Согласно данной работе, присутствие в виртуальной реальности является уникальным техногенным опытом, недостижимым в любой другой ситуации. Это связано с тем, что технология виртуальной реальности заменяет стимулы реальной среды стимулами виртуальной среды, предъявляемыми человеку c помощью очков виртуальной реальности или CAVE-системы. В случае полного погружения человек не видит вокруг себя ничего, связанного с реальным местом, в котором он фактически находится. Человек видит сгенерированное компьютером изображение, которое является объёмным и интерактивным, создавая иллюзию реальности. Фильмы и книги не создают такого эффекта. При чтении книги читатель видит буквы на странице, а остальное достраивает воображение. При просмотре фильма зритель видит субъектов, объекты и события, происходящие в стороне от него, и сохраняет возможность видеть окружающую реальную обстановку. Пользователь виртуальной реальности находится внутри изображения и его сенсорные системы вместо реальных стимулов обрабатывают виртуальные. Основная цель данной работы – дать представление о природе феномена присутствия в виртуальной реальности, об основных подходах к его изучению, о его видах и компонентах. Кроме того, в настоящей статье приводятся результаты эмпирических исследований, проведённых различными авторами, благодаря которым возникает возможность уточнить классификацию видов присутствия и связанные с ними переживания.
The role of the agency t ole of the agency to overcome alienation in social come alienation in social networking platforms: A self-reported phenomenological investigation
Authors:   Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), Jácome de Moura Jr. Pedro
Published: January 2023

People are increasingly adhering to social networking platforms (SNP), and such adhesion is often thoughtless, which makes them alienate data, actions, and decisions to tech giants. The prevalence of the socio-psychological approach to alienation has led to the emergence of “victimism” or supremacism in society, phenomena that reinforce a tradition of emphasis on the role of the structure in defending the individual against external forces. Adopting a specific perspective for alienation of agency, i.e., the extent to which an individual is free to act and is responsible for her/his actions, this study discusses what happens when someone chooses to terminate her/his participation in a large SNP. This theoretical-empirical manuscript is grounded on the author’s phenomenological experience and his subjective perceptions regarding being out of the WhatsApp network (nowadays, the main SNP instance in the world). The findings offer initial evidence to validate the proposed IT artifact lifecycle conceptual model and suggest the metaphor "digital near-death experience” (DNDE) as suitable for characterizing the feelings of near-death experience in digital spacetime. Theoretical implications and a research agenda are also proposed.
Spectral investigations of Solar magnetic fields in Astronomical observatory of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in 1981–1986
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Lozitsky V.
Published: January 2023

In the second five-year period of spectral studies of solar magnetic fields in Astronomical Observatory of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (1981-1986), a number of important and interesting scientific results were obtained, which mainly concern magnetic fields in solar flares and beyond. In particular, based on the analysis of the Echelle Zeeman spectrograms obtained at the observatory during the international FBS/SERF program, it was shown that the effect of the “magnetic transient” according to the data of the BBSO observatory probably has a non-magnetic nature. Also, “kilogauss” magnetic fields (1–3 kG) were discovered and previously studied in solar flares, more precisely, in the region of intense emission in strong FeI lines, which is formed in the upper photosphere and the temperature minimum zone. For a section of the photosphere of the active region without solar flares, observational evidences of the discreteness of local magnetic field intensities were obtained, which turned out to be equal to ≈ 4, 7 and 13 kG. For the same area, indications of the existence of a moderately strong (up to ~ 1 kG) background magnetic field of mixed polarity were found. It was possible to explain these observational data theoretically within the framework of the linear force-free MHD model, according to which the central parts of small-scale magnetic structures with strong and discrete fields are surrounded by concentric regions with a sign-changing and weaker magnetic field. In a solar flare, a sign-changing height gradient of the longitudinal magnetic field was discovered and investigated, one of the reasons for which may be a significant deformation of the magnetic field of the shear type, which gradually weakened towards the end of the flare. In all the above-mentioned questions, the “last word” has not yet been said – they require thorough research in the future.

This inquiry aims to determine the ways and means through which the accuracy category manifests itself in the news genre and to identify internal contradictions formed by the interaction between logical and semantic components of the expression. The objectives were as follows: to determine how the accuracy category is presented through the categories of subject, time, and place of action, what are the transformative possibilities of these categories in the field of adequate transmission of meaning, which linguistic means actualize the accuracy category or, on the contrary, “blur” it. Continuous sampling, analysis and synthesis, transformational, and descriptive methods were used in the research process. We confirm that the subject in the headline is delivered explicitly and implicitly in the conclusions presenting the research results. “Nonsubjectivity” is realized using indefinite (non-personal) forms of the predicate or can be determined through a locus. For news headlines, the locus is an essential component, its place in the sentence can adjust the semantic accents of the statement. The time category in analyzed titles is almost always explicit. The accuracy category is most clearly manifested in direct indications of time and place and in two-syllable sentences where the subject of the action is specified.
Current Status of Research on Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel for Internal Combustion Engines
Authors: Liu Ganli
Published: January 2023

In this paper, the research on biodiesel or blending with other fuels is reviewed. Based on the current status of biodiesel research, this paper introduces the current research progress, combustion and emission characteristics, blending with other fuels, and development direction of biodiesel. The combustion, emission, and spray of biodiesel are not exactly the same as diesel, so it is not suitable to be used directly in diesel engines. Biodiesel can be blended with diesel, ethanol, ammonia and other fuels to improve its power performance and reduce harmful emissions. This review can serve as an important reference for those who want to engage in biodiesel research, and a quick understanding of biodiesel research before.

Peculiarities of commitment of Muscovites to a healthy lifestyle: results of a questionnaire survey
Authors: Vyatkina Nadezhda Yu. , Rozhkov Iliya V.
Published: January 2023

In the given article there are results of sociological research aimed at the study of peculiarities of motivation of residents of Moscow to maintain a healthy lifestyle (HLS) in conditions of digitalization. According to the obtained results, it is noted that respondents have misunderstanding of the principles of a health-saving behavior: the majority of participants, identifying themselves as leading HLS, at the same time allow the presence of certain bad habits, imbalance of the regime of the work and rest, insufficient physical activity and eating disorder. According to the authorss opinion, the motivation in HLS is caused by influence of external stereotypical attitudes: unhealthy beauty standards, ideas about the priority of health in achieving success in life, socially acceptable behavior. At the same time, the internal motivation for joining a HLS is rather unstable and blurry. Given the significant role of information and communication companies in introducing Muscovites to a healthy lifestyle, the need for their clear targeting, taking into account the specifics of various social groups, becomes obvious.
Online health school classes for dentist-orthopedist patients: the quality-of-life dynamics prospective cohort study

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the quality of life (QoL) of Russians, including patients of the orthopedic department of the Rostov-on-Don City Dental Polyclinic, who have installed fixed prosthesis (FP). The organization of online health school (HS) classes for them meant improving the situation by reorienting passive health saving towards active self-preserving behavior basing modern managerial medical and social technologies. Appropriate didactic material was developed and implemented in practice. Quantitative changes in QoL were recorded using the authors indicator system. The positive perception of online classes by patients has become an introduction to the lifelong system of health saving, which is based not only on improving the general or the health culture, but also on the privatization of health and all its components as material socially significant objects (SSO).
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this prospective medical and social cohort study was to confirm the positive dynamics of the QoL of prosthodontist patients after on-line classes at the HS using a process-approach-based quality of life scale (PABQoLS).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 24 patients who installed the FP attended from 6 to 9 lessons from the full course of the HS, which included 10 didactic units. Sociological control of QoL was carried out before the beginning of the work of the HS and after the end of the classes. The dynamics of the patients QoL, expressed through the afferentation gradient (GA), was correlated with the frequency of visits to the HS and reflected graphically using the construction of linear trends.
RESULTS: The intensity of information flows from SSO within the cohort decreased by 56.1% (p 0.01), the positive balance of acquisitions increased by 3.5 times (t=0.9) after HS 3 months work. The highest significance (t=6.3) corresponded to a decrease in the flow of information about all losses by 64.6%. The correlation between the visits number (VN) and total AG (acquisitions losses) was 0.494 (p 0.05). The ratio of linear trends in the change in the pragmatic and affiliative components of the balance between acquisitions and losses was 10 to 1 in favor of the pragmatic component as the VN of the HS increased.
CONCLUSION: The results of the medico-social study showed the potential of the PABQoLS as an objective and reliable tool for assessing the success of the HS classes in the direction of medicalization of prosthodontist patients.

Published: January 2023

With social disaster-related casualties such as fine dust and COVID-19 occurring steadily around the world, it is very important to stock up, logistics and distribution related emergency public goods to the public facing difficulties related to quarantine supplies to minimize the amount of damage. There are specialized or common emergency public goods for each type of disaster, but it seems necessary to review various logistics and distribution methods that can be used in common rather than logistics and distribution methods of each individual theory. The purpose of this study is to review various methods of essential emergency public goods logistics and distribution in response to social disasters in addition to public retailers such as pharmacies in the past to derive policy alternatives and legal system improvements. After reviewing the problems of the logistics and distribution method of quarantine goods operated in Korea as a research method, Python Crawling was used to review the need to improve the production and price, supply and receipt method of quarantine goods, and policy alternatives were derived from a consumer perspective. The benefits of each alternative were analyzed by applying the benefit items of the user survey and the preliminary feasibility study guidelines that can be analyzed. In order to diversify the logistics and distribution methods of quarantine supplies, various logistics and distribution methods such as delivery, distribution through public officials, and receipt of hypermarkets and convenience stores were comprehensively proposed
Negotiation Measures to Minimize the Damage Caused by the US Inflation Reduction Act to Korean Electric Automobile Supply Chain
Authors:   The Korean Logistics Research Association, Suh Paik-Hyun
Published: January 2023

The US Inflation Reduction Act is expected to cause significant damage to the electric vehicle industry in Korea and EU. This study focuses on negotiation measures between Korea and USA to minimize damages related to the supply chain of the automobile industry, which is expected from the implementation of the IRA. The IRA is ultimately intended to build a US-centered electric vehicle production ecosystem, and from the standpoint of the Korean automobile industry, it is necessary to move away from relying on China for major raw materials for batteries so far, and to restructure or significantly adjust the supply chain. Regarding the IRA, both the Korea-US negotiations and the Korea-China negotiations have important meaning considering the future growth engines of electric vehicles and batteries. In negotiations with the United States, it is desirable for Korea to recognize that the nature of the issue is derived from the multilateral economic hegemony of the United States, and to engage in negotiations based on principle, that is, a problem-solving attitude that excludes political and diplomatic relations with both the United States and China. For the US, it is desirable to pursue a strategy that maximizes the actual benefits that can be obtained from local foreign direct investment rather than focusing on the application of exceptions to the IRA Act. If Korea fully accepts the US position on the IRA and makes a decision against China’s interests, there may be a threat of retaliation from China, and we must prepare for this at various levels.
