El euskera como lengua de ritmo intermedio en el continuo isosilábico-isomoraico: una comparación con el español y el japonés / Basque as a language with intermediate rhythm in the isosyllabic-isomoraic continuum: A comparison with Spanish and Japanese
Authors: Robles-Puente Sergio
Published: June 2021

The current study employs multiple techniques (C%, V%, DC, DV, nPVI C, nPVI V, Varco DC, Varco DV) designed to detect rhythmic similarities and differences in order to compare the linguistic rhythm of Basque to those of Spanish and Japanese. The analysis of the productions of 24 Spanish/Basque bilinguals (twelve with Basque as their L1 and twelve as their L2), and nine native speakers of Japanese revealed that, although Spanish and Basque have generally been considered syllable-timed languages, the latter resembles moraic languages due to the length and variability of its vocalic intervals. At the same time, the similarities of the rhythmic properties of the euskaldunberri speakers (Basque as L2) and the euskaldunzaharra speakers (Basque as L1) suggest that inter-linguistic rhythmic transfers are not noticeable and that rhythmic characteristic in Spanish and Basque are connected to their respective syllabic preferences and not to phonological or phonetic processes implemented by the speakers.

Saio honetan XVIII. mende bukaeran goi-nafarreraz idatzitako dotrina baten edizioa aurkezten da. Orain arte ezezaguna izan den eskuizkribu hau Eusko Legebiltzarreko liburutegian agertu da berriki. Beraz, euskal dialektologiarako izan dezakeen garrantzia aipatu ostean, eskuizkribuari buruzko zenbait ohar egiten dira; besteak beste, erakusten da gaztelaniazko zein liburu duen jatorri, noizkoa izan daitekeen itzulpena, liburuaren tamaina, etab. Areago, laburki aurkezten diren hizkuntza ezaugarri batzuk kontuan izanda, Leitza inguruko hizkera erabiltzen dela erakusten da eta anonimotzat hartu izan bada ere, proposatzen da Tiburtzio Sagastibeltza izan daitekeela dotrinaren egilea. Jarraian, testuaren edizio kritikoa eskaintzen da, bi motatako oharrez lagundurik: batetik ohar paleografikoak daude eta, bestetik, testua ulertzen lagundu nahi duten azalpen oharrak.

¿Magonia o Maonia? Sobre los orígenes del nombre de una tierra mítica
Authors: Jiménez Sánchez Juan Antonio
Published: June 2021

El presente trabajo pretende estudiar el origen del nombre de Magonia, un topónimo que, pese a su gran popularidad, corresponde a un hápax que solo se documenta en una obra de Agobardo de Lyon, aunque una glosa de Floro a un escrito de Agustín nos ofrece la variante Maonia. A fin de vislumbrar el origen de esta palabra, analizaremos los textos francos de los siglos VII y VIII que hacen alusión a los maones ―los ladrones de cosechas por medios mágicos―, examinaremos las propuestas de la historiografía contemporánea y finalmente ofreceremos nuestra propia hipótesis: el nombre de Magonia procede de Hemonia (Tesalia), aunque posteriormente perdió el componente toponímico y lo recuperó en el siglo IX con Agobardo, quien creó la forma Magonia para hacer referencia a un lugar que ya nada tenía que ver con la realidad.
Narrativas paleolíticas: Aspectos poco comunes de la puesta en escena
Authors: Lombo Montañés Alberto
Published: June 2021

Este trabajo discute el papel de la narración en la cultura humana y en el arte paleolítico. Se recogen algunos casos de grafías animales representadas de espaldas, de frente, desde arriba (serpientes) o emitiendo sonidos, como ejemplos de una inusual puesta en escena. Finalmente, se valora la perspectiva visual en la creación de las grafías paleolíticas y la expresión naturalista de los animales desde diferentes ángulos de visión.
Una pequeña lámina de plomo con inscripción ibérica de paleografía arcaica del Pico de los Ajos (Yátova, València)

Published: June 2021

En este trabajo editamos una pequeña lámina de plomo hallada en el Pico de los Ajos (Yátova) en la campaña de 2018. La lámina apareció plegada y contiene una inscripción ibérica de una sola línea en cada cara que muy probablemente configure un solo texto completo. Sus características formales son poco comunes, siendo el paralelo más cercano el de las láminas votivas de El Amarejo. La presencia del elemento kutuŕ, frecuente en las inscripciones votivas rupestres, también apuntaría a una interpretación religiosa. Desde el punto de vista paleográfico, cabe señalar que se trata de un texto explícitamente dual, ya que conviven en él las dos variantes de te y ŕ. A pesar de que el contexto arqueológico de su amortización tiene una cronología de finales del s. II a. C. o principios del s. I a. C., este nuevo plomo presenta una paleografía arcaica, quizás incluso del s. IV a. C. Esto se explicaría bien por el hecho de aparecer en un edificio dedicado al reciclaje de objetos metálicos, siendo en ese momento la lámina sólo un objeto metálico más, fuera de su contexto original.
Effects of Gossypium spp., Balanites aegyptiaca, and Sesamum indicum seeds oils on quality of chilled and frozen-thawed ram semen
Authors: Akourki Adamou , Echegaray Arantxa , Perdomo Orlando , Escartin Nicolas Angel , Guillén Marta
Published: June 2021

Background and Aim: Essential oils found frequently in plants are well known for their activities against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and antioxidant properties. This study aimed to analyze egg yolk replacement by seed oils of Gossypium spp. (cotton), Balanites aegyptiaca (desert date), and Sesamum indicum (sesame) in semen extender, on ram sperm quality chilled at 4°C and frozen-thawed.

Materials and Methods: Ejaculates were collected from adult rams and refrigerated at 4°C in a Tris-based extender containing 1.25%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10% of Gossypium spp., B. aegyptiaca, and S. indicum seed oils, to evaluate which were the two best extenders for comparison with BIOXcell, a commercial extender for deep freezing ram semen.

Results: The data showed that sperm movements analyzed by the CASA system were faster in extenders supplemented with 2.5-5% of cottonseed oil and 1.25-10% of sesame oil, whereas in the extender containing B. aegyptiaca oil, all seminal parameters studied had the worst values. During the sperm-freezing process, 5% of cottonseed oil and 5% sesame seed oil were selected from the first study, with sesame oil reaching the best sperm quality. Thus, sperm motility and velocity were 44.14±13.99%, 24.44±12.6%, and 25.92±11.50%; and 20.26±9.56%, 8.76±6.38%, and 9.42±5.40%, respectively, for sesame oil, cottonseed oil, and BIOXcell.

Conclusion: In summary, 2.5-10% of cottonseed oil and 1.25-10% of sesame seed oil can replace egg yolk in a Tris–egg yolk–based extender. Moreover, a Tris-based extender supplemented with 5% sesame seed oil could be an alternative for deep freezing ram semen, even though these results need to be confirmed with semen collected from rams with appropriate sexual rest.

Published: June 2021

The article covers the study of structural processes in the economy of Ukraine, transformations in the agribusiness in accordance with current trends in the development of the market of agricultural products, which have a significant impact on marketing and logistical processes of domestic enterprises and shape the need of agricultural enterprises to expand trade relations with foreign countries. The article explores the structural processes in the economy of Ukraine over the period 2017-2019, transformations in the agricultural business in accordance with current trends in the development of the market of agricultural products. The domestic market of agricultural products by commodity groups "10 Cereal and puls crops", "15 Fats and oils" are explored on the basis of analysis of the indicators of structural statistics of agricultural production, sales and consumption of agricultural products, characteristics of export-import operations of domestic agribusiness enterprises. It is determined that structural transformations in agribusiness have a significant impact on the marketing and logistical processes of domestic enterprises and shape the need of agricultural enterprises to expand trade relations with foreign countries.  It is substantiated that in 2020 domestic agricultural enterprises would have to work to expand exports to different countries around the world.  However, owing to recent turmoils of international markets by the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, large stocks of agricultural products of the commodity groups "10 Cereal and puls crops" and "15 Fats and oils" have emerged at the warehouses of domestic enterprises, so we believe that such situation requires the improvement of marketing and logistical management of their business activities.
The Importance and Influence of Destination Advertising
Authors: Csapó-Horváth Andrea
Published: June 2021

The tourism industry has become a kingpin industry worldwide. The high proportion of individual travel demonstrates the need for effective advertising. In particular, there is a need to focus not so much on what motivates people to travel, but rather to influence their choice of destination. Tourism advertising, especially destination advertising, an under-investigated field of research, seems to play a significant role in influencing consumers such as future tourists.  This paper explores the question of whether Hungarian university students are influenced by destination advertising when choosing their destinations. Using a questionnaire (N=125), this study examines the question of which advertising elements have the most significant impact on the students. Furthermore, the paper aims to find answers to these questions: How influential are media channels within the context of destination choice? Is it the language or the image which plays a crucial role in the transmission of the advertisement’s message? What might be the essential elements in the actual language used in destination advertising? The research will shed light on which particular linguistic devices increase the impact of the advertisements and which of these devices can be adapted to the Hungarian context.

Authors: Shevchuk Oleksandr , Zui Valentyna , Maryniv Ivanna , Davydenko Svitlana , Mokhonchuk Sergii
Published: June 2021

This work reveals the features of the administrative and legal regulation of the human right to access the Internet in the “concept of the right to health”. It is emphasized that the basis of the legal regulation of the human right to access the Internet in the "concept of the right to health" should be the recognition of the principles of the priority of human rights and freedoms, adequate state control, ensuring the choice of criteria that make it possible to realize accessibility, anonymity, and minimize the collection and processing of personal data about the patient. The structure of Internet relations in relation to the healthcare sector has been established, their analysis has been carried out, their object has been established. Legal constructions have been formulated: "information", "Internet" in the norms of international and national regulatory legal acts, as well as the terms "e-Health", "electronic cabinet", "electronic medical information system", the author's definition of "the right to access the Internet in the field of health care ". It has been established that the human rights to access the Internet in the “concept of the right to health” should be attributed to the fourth generation of human rights. The concept of "telemedicine" is formulated, their forms are disclosed, the stages of the evolution of legislation are established, and the problems of their legal regulation in the context of human rights are indicated. It is concluded that the consolidation of the right to access the Internet at the level of the Constitution of Ukraine is a necessity.
Teenagers and New Media: Impact on Foreign Language Proficiency and Cultural Sustainability
Authors: Boldizsár Boglárka
Published: June 2021

There is a wide range of evidence to support the view that new technologies serve an integral part of teenagers’ life. However, in Hungary, it seems that even though the facilities are provided in most of the educational institutions, these are not in regular use due to teachers’ lack of competence, the willingness of using them or their constant operational problems. Using a qualitative, small-scale study conducted in semi-structured focus group interviews (N=8) with 15 participants in five Hungarian primary schools, the study primarily aims to uncover how teenagers can relate their foreign language advancement to their use of digital devices in their free time. Furthermore, the paper examines their views on foreign language (FL) instruction supported by ICT at school as well as which digital devices and for what purposes they would preferably use them in FL classes. The study implicitly raises the issue of cultural sustainability and tries to find evidence to what extent mass culture affects the Hungarian language proficiency of students. According to the results, teenagers’ attitude towards institutional foreign language learning seems to be quite traditional, as they cannot relate their free time activities spent with digital devices to study purposes at school. Although participants are conscious about the effectiveness of ICT promoting language learning, they think that watching films, instructional videos, or working with projected tasks connected to course books are the major reasons for using digital devices for classroom purposes. Regarding cultural sustainability even within this small-scale study, there is some evidence that English as one of the most influential languages of mass culture can have an impact on the mother tongue language maintenance.

Published: June 2021

The purpose of the study is to improve the methodological approach to taking into account critical factors for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives in agribusiness. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to: identify factors influencing the development of entrepreneurial initiatives in agribusiness; perform classification and analysis of factors in order to identify those that are critical for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives in agribusiness; specify the stages of the methodological approach to taking into account critical factors for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives in agribusiness. It is argued that entropy in the agribusiness environment can be caused by the fact that when forming decisions related to the development of entrepreneurial initiatives, the relationship between critical factors and their nature is not taken into account. It is proved that critical for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives in agribusiness are factors that are related to each other both on the basis of similarity of structure and on the basis of similarity of values that characterize these factors. It is argued that entrepreneurial initiatives in agribusiness should be based on in-depth factor analysis, the results of which exclude fluctuations in the implementation of these initiatives and prevent entropy.

Published: June 2021

Nowadays, the concept of innovative development is a generally accepted approach to promoting social and economic development paradigm both at global and national level. However, the rapid changes in external and internal conditions in relation to science and innovation caused the need to integrate innovative priorities with environmental imperatives to support sustainable development of modern society. Thereby, the above-mentioned tendencies are also highly widespread at local (regional) level, because both innovation and environmental practices play an essential role for social development, economic growth, improved productivity and competitiveness, and improved quality of life. Thereby, research problem lays upon the regional environmental systems and their influence at innovative development in Ukraine. The paper aims to provide scientific support on environmental systems development and their connection with innovative development indicators at the regional level. The research methodology is based on official statistical data on Ukrainian economy innovativeness analysis during the last ten years. The environmental component is analyzed at the regional level that allowed us to rank Ukrainian regions in accordance with the level of their environmental responsibility, propose a measure of transformation to their strategies. As the result, the groups of regional environmental strategies were defined in accordance with criteria of their effectiveness and need of transformation. Thus, the research highlights the special status of environmental economy, based on its specific characteristics and influences at innovative development, including network effects, the ability to convert environmental and innovative benefits into significant social effects, hybrid and multiplicative.
Wastes after distillation of Helichrysum italicum – biological active compounds and free radical scavenging activity
Authors: Nikolova Milena , Dobreva Ana , Berkov Strahil
Published: June 2021

Distillation wastewater, by-products from steam and water distillation as well as raw material used as control of ﬂower heads of Helichrysum italicum were comparative analyzed for content of the biologically active compounds by GC/MS. Acetone exudates, methanol extracts and ethyl acetate fractions obtained after alkaline hydrolyze of the studied materials were received. The three types of extraction products as well as the distillation wastewater were examined for free radical scavenging activity by DPPH assay. Phenol, fatty- and organic acids, sterols, triterpenes, sugars and sugar alcohols were identified. Succinic acid and myo-inositol were identified as main components of distillation wastewater. Hydroxycinnamic acid, caffeic acid and 4(p)-hydroxybenzoic acid were dominant compounds of the ethyl acetate fractions. Triterpenes and fatty acids, sterols and ﬂavonoids are among the main biologically active substances in the methanolic extracts and acetone exudates. The ethyl acetate fractions were found to possess the highest free radical scavenging activity (IC50 < 50 µg/mL). Significant differences in the activity between wastes and raw materials were not found. The results showed that the waste products after distillation of H. italicum contain important biologically active substances and the extracts with high antioxidant activity can be obtained from them.
MUSCLE QUALITY, STRENGTH, AND LOWER EXTREMITY PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE IN THE BALTIMORE LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF AGING
Authors: Chiles Shaffer N. , Fabbri E. , Ferrucci L. , Shardell M. , Simonsick E.M. , Studenski S.
Published: June 2021

Background: Muscle quality is defined as the force generated by each volumetric unit of muscle tissue. No consensus exists on an optimal measure of muscle quality, impeding comparison across studies and implementation in clinical settings. It is unknown whether muscle quality measures that rely on complex and expensive tests, such as isokinetic dynamometry and computerized tomography correlate with lower extremity performance (LEP) any better than measures derived from simpler and less expensive tests, such as grip strength (Grip) and appendicular lean mass (ALM) assessed by DXA. Additionally, whether muscle quality is more strongly associated with LEP than strength has not been fully tested. Objectives: This study compares the concurrent validity of alternative measures of muscle quality and characterizes their relationship with LEP. We also whether muscle quality correlates more strongly with LEP than strength alone. Design: Cross-sectional analysis. Setting: Community. Participants: 365 men and 345 women 65 years of age and older in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Measures: Thigh cross-sectional area (TCSA), isokinetic and isometric knee extension strength (ID), BMI adjusted ALM (ALMBMI) from DXA, and Grip. Concurrent validity was assessed as the percent variance of different measures of LEP explained by each muscle quality measure. In addition, we compared LEP relationships between each measure of strength and its correspondent value of muscle quality. Confidence intervals for differences in percent variance were calculated by bootstrapping. Results: Grip/ALMBMI explained as much variance as ID/TCSA across all LEP measures in women and most in men. Across all LEP measures, strength explained as much variance of LEP as muscle quality. Conclusions: Grip/ALMBMI and ID/TCSA measures had similar correlations with LEP. Muscle quality did not outperform strength. Although evaluating muscle quality may be useful to assess age-related mechanisms of change in muscle strength, measures of strength alone may suffice to understand the relationship between muscle and LEP.

Authors: Sejunaite K. , Lanza C. , Ganders S. , Iljaitsch A. , Riepe M.W.
Published: June 2021

Background: Impairment of autonomous way-finding subsequent to a multitude of neurodegenerative and other diseases impedes independence of older persons and their everyday activities. Objective: It was the goal to use augmented reality to aid autonomous way-finding in a community setting. Design: A spatial map and directional information were shown via head-up display to guide patients from the start zone on the hospital campus to a bakery in the nearby community. Setting: Hospital campus and nearby community. Participants: Patients with mild cognitive impairment (age 63 to 89). Interventions: A head-up display was used to help patients find their way. Measurements: Time needed to reach goal and number of assists needed. Results: With use of augmented reality device, patients preceded along the correct path in 113 out of 120 intersections. Intermittent reassurance was needed for most patients. Patients affirmed willingness to use such an augmented reality device in everyday life if needed or even pay for it. Conclusion: Augmented reality guided navigation is a promising means to sustain autonomous way-finding as a prerequisite for autonomy of older persons in everyday activities. Thus, this study lays ground for a field trial in the community using assistive technology for older persons with cognitive impairment.
FRAILTY EXISTS IN YOUNGER ADULTS ADMITTED AS SURGICAL EMERGENCY LEADING TO ADVERSE OUTCOMES
Authors: Smart R. , Carter B. , McGovern J. , Luckman S. , Connelly A. , Hewitt J. , Quasim T. , Moug S.
Published: June 2021

Background: Frailty is prevalent in the older adult population (≥65 years of age) and results in adverse outcomes in the emergency general surgical population. Objective: To determine whether frailty exists in the younger adult emergency surgical population (<65 years) and what influence frailty may have on patient related outcomes. Design: Prospective observational cohort study. Setting: Emergency general surgical admissions. Participants: All patients ≥40 years divided into 2 groups: younger adults (40-64.9 years) and older adult comparative group (≥65). Measurements: Over a 6-month time frame the following data was collected: demographics; Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD); blood markers; multi-morbidities, polypharmacy and cognition. Frailty was assessed by completion of the Canadian Study of Health and Ageing (CSHA). Each patient was followed up for 90 days to allow determination of length of stay, re-admission and mortality. Results: 82 young adults were included and the prevalence of frailty was 16% (versus older adults 38%; p=0.001) and associated with: multi-morbidity; poly-pharmacy; cognitive impairment; and deprivation. Frailty in older adults was only significantly associated with increasing age. Conclusions: This novel study has found that frailty exists in 16% of younger adults admitted to emergency general surgical units, potentially leading to adverse short and long-term outcomes. Strategies need to be developed that identify and treat frailty in this vulnerable younger adult population.

Published: June 2021

Introduction

This is a simple descriptive analysis of cases received in the Internal Medicine Department of the HUEH during our visit. The objective is to present the demographic characteristics of the main diagnoses.

Methodology

The data were revealed from the emergency book and the period considered was from April 1 to 22, 2021, and then from May 3 to 30, 2021, due to a work stoppage. 97 patients were recorded in the notebook for the period. SPSS and Excel were used for the analyses.

Results

The mean age of the patients was 56.82±16.85 years. Of these 57.7% were in the 30-65 age group, and only 8.2% were under 30 years. More than half were male (52.6%). However, women were older than men (59.60±16.78 years vs 54.32±16.67 years) (Figure 1). About the origin, 40.2% came from the Western department, and 13.4% were from the South. (Table 1) Only 21.6% of patients were referred. Of these referred patients 38.1% came from the West department, 19.0% from the Centre department, and 14.3% from Artibonite. 81.4% of the patients received were hospitalized and 12.4% were kept for observation.

More than half (54%) had hypertension as a history, and 33% had diabetes and hypertension combined. The 5 main pathologies diagnosed were: global D/C (29.9%); stroke including Sylvian infarction (15.5%); decompensated type 2 diabetes (11.3%); CKD (10.3%) and sepsis (6.2%). Almost one-third of the hospitalizations were global D/C class IV (29.9%), 17.7% had Sylvian infarction, 12.7% had CKD, 11.4% decompensated diabetes, and 7.6% had sepsis.

Among the decompensated cardiac patients, 53.8% were between 30 and 65 years, only 7.7% were younger than 30 years, and 59.2% were men. For Sylvian infarction, 78.5% were in the 30-65 age group and more than half (53.3%) were women. In patients with decompensated diabetes, 63.6% were between 30-65 years of age and 54.5% were men. 70% of CKD patients were in the 30-65 age group, and more men (70%) thanwomen (30%). It is worth noting that 20% of these patients were under 30 years of age. Sepsis cases were predominantly in women (66.6%).

Conclusion

We are in the midst of an epidemiological transition in which infectious pathologies no longer predominate, but cardiovascular ones. We have observed that stroke is the second cause of hospitalization at the HUEH, other studies are needed to confirm this observation, in the meantime, it is an obligation that the HUEH is equipped to meet its primary objective which is a tertiary care and training oriented according to the epidemiological needs of the country, hence the need to strengthen the Cardiology unit and to put a Neurology unit with an imaging center

RETRACTED / WITHDRAWNThe Bhagavad Gita and the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola
Authors: Tirkey Deepak
Published: June 2021

The Bhagavad Gita like the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola leading to spiritual enrichment points out of a meeting of heart and mind between two texts. The essence of the spirituality of the Bhagavad Gita, like the spirituality of Ignatius is the vision of God. Its spirituality is oriented towards God above the world as well as within it. Both texts offer a parallel insight for deep and authentic happiness building up a life towards God and in God. Even though the Bhagavad Gita and the Spiritual Exercises play different qualitative rolls in its own traditions, both agree that only those who have God above the visible world are able to experience God vice-versa. The quest to have God experience is an exercise involving conscious effort and constant attentiveness.
Characteristics of bactericidal activity of healthy donors' peripheral blood against Escherichia coli
Authors: Godovalov A , Boev I
Published: June 2021

Recently, the role of opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms in the development of inflammatory diseases of various localization has been relatively widely discussed. It is known that Escherichia coli are the etiological agent of such diseases, especially extraintestinal localization, a distinctive feature of which is considered to be a wide range of clinical manifestations. The aim of investigation was to assess the contribution of some components to the total microbicidal activity of healthy donors peripheral blood. Materials and methods. The bactericidal capacity of peripheral blood was assessed by the number of viable E. coli after incubation with blood samples by plating on Endo medium. The antibiofilm activity of whole blood and blood plasma was assessed by direct contact with the biofilm and its subsequent visualization using O'Toole technique. Phagocytic activity of neutrophils and monocytes was assessed separately in a microscopic version of the test. The production of reactive oxygen species was assessed using the stimulated and spontaneous luminol-dependent chemiluminescence reaction. An immunoglobulin G was used to opsonize E. coli. Results and discussion. It was shown that the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers has pronounced bactericidal properties against E. coli, reducing the number of viable bacteria by 2 times. Opsonization of E. coli reduces the number of bacteria by 4 times. Among leukocytes, the predominant place is occupied by neutrophils, which activate their absorption capacity and production of radicals faster than monocytes. The number of actively phagocytic neutrophils after E. coli treatment with an immunoglobulin G increased to 4.1±1.0% (without opsonization - 1.7±0.3%; p<0.05). Conclusion. In general, the microbicidal activity of the blood of healthy people is a multi-component system, in which a special place should be given to the factors of opsonization.

Aim: to assess the level of intercellular adhesion molecules 1 (ICAM-1) in the oral fluid of patients with candidal stomatitis, depending on the ability of fungi Candida to form a biofilm. The object of the study were 67 patients with oral mucosa candidiasis and 23 patients of the control group without oral candidiasis. A clinical examination of 90 patients was carried out, smears were taken to confirm the diagnosis by a microbiological method, ELISA to assess the level of ICAM-1 in the oral fluid, to determine the biofilm-forming ability of strains of fungi Candida. According to the results of the study, in 41 (61,2%) patients with candidal stomatitis, strains of fungi Candida had the ability to form a biofilm, and in 26 (38,8%) patients this ability was absent, and in 19 patients (46,3%) it was low ability to biofilm formation, in 21 (51,3%) - moderate ability and in 1 (2,4%) - high. In patients with candidiasis stomatitis, the level of ICAM-1 concentration in saliva was 8,51 ± 0,5 ng / ml, which significantly distinguished it (p <0,001) from the indicator in the control group without oral mucosa candidiasis (4,51 ± 0,32 ng / ml). In patients with candidal stomatitis (n = 67), the level of ICAM-1 in saliva was significantly higher (p <0,01) in the group with biofilm-forming strains than with biofilm-non-forming strains.

The purpose of this study is to create a peak runoff model in urban SC areas based on existing land use/land cover (LU / LC) and a master plan. To calculate peak runoff (PRO) using the rational method. To find out the current LU / LC through existing SPOT-6 image analysis in 2017, using supervised classification method with an estimation of gamma distribution parameters with the maximum likelihood method using QGIS 2.8 software, SAGA GIS, and Arc -GIS 10.4.1. Based on the results of image analysis obtained twelve types of LU, which can be grouped into three types of LC, namely 33% of developed land, 65% of vegetated land (RTH), and 2% of blue open land (RTB). The analysis shows that the implementation of the master plan increases PRO. With the increase in PRO will contribute to flooding in the downstream areas, consequently the developer must be responsible for reducing the PRO.

In sustainable development, infrastructure has an important role, although infrastructure growth and investment have positive and negative impacts. Indonesia has a strategic program in the form of infrastructure improvement. However, due to the condition of Indonesia which is an archipelago, infrastructure development has only concentrated on Java, especially in Jakarta City. This resulted in a gap in infrastructure development outside of Java. This study identifies the relationship between infrastructure and the regional economy in Indonesia. Indonesia is an archipelagic country so that long-distance transportation, such as using airports, is an absolute necessity to support equitable economic activities and support sustainable development. The relationship between traffic on airports and regional economies is still debating and growing. Therefore, by looking at the characteristics of the archipelagic country, it is interesting to see the relationship between infrastructure and the regional economy in Indonesia. This research aims to provide an understanding of the effect of economic growth in airports and be able to be a stakeholder consideration to making policies about air transportation and regional economic growth evenly on island geography conditions such as Indonesia. The relationship between the two in this study is shown by looking at traffic in airports and 17 economic sectors of GRDP in six different regencies with similar characteristics. The model show the relationship in this study. This model built using a regression approach. The results of this model show the relationship between traffic in airports with regional economic sectors, especially outside the island of Java. The results of this study can be concluded that the effect is found between the economic sectors of the region on the existence of airports

As a developing country, Indonesia has a huge number of street vendors. Because of that, the existence of street vendors needs a special attention. This special attention is needed because streer vendors mostly occupy city's public spaces. Street vendor management in Indonesia's cities is based on the regulations that was made by each regional government which is pointing to Indonesia's higher level of regulation. Each regional regulation has their own unique characteristics. Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya are big cities that have street vendor problems that also have street vendor management regulations. From those three cities, the advantages and disadvantages of their regulation's contents will be revealed, enriched by information digging and research results. From the regulation side, those three cities showed their concern about regulations regarding street vendors. The forms of restructuring that has been done are relocation and stabilization. Those three cities are also supported by private sector regarding street vendor management. Street vendor management has a vital contribution towards regional economical growth and street vendor's income growth. These positive impacts increases the efficiency of city space management, so the city itself will look tidy, beautiful, and not congested, but street vendors are still poppimg out in restricted areas and old spaces, if the new managed locations are far from the crowds, the impact will decrease street vendor's income

Health investment has an important role in economic development and major capital in order to be able to do work. Lack of health insurance can be a poverty trap. This is the fundamental reason why health insurance receives the most attention in the SDG’s. Based on SAKERNAS data in 2017 the percentage of informal sector workers in Indonesia is still quite high, reaching 57.03 percent and of that number only 57.3 percent of informal sector workers have health insurance which means that almost half of the informal sector workers work without health insurance protection . This study aims to determine the factors that influence the ownership of health insurance for informal sector workers in Indonesia. The analysis was conducted inferentially using chi-square and binary logistic regression using SUSENAS data in March 2018. Based on the results of the analysis using chi-square obtained the results that all independent variables have a meaningful relationship with health insurance ownership so the analysis is continued with logistic regression. From the results of logistic regression it is found that the factors that influence the health insurance ownership of informal sector workers in Indonesia are the area of residence, marital status, status in the household, gender, age, NIK ownership, education level, business field, health complaints, status economics, and self-medication.

Models for Predicting Global Plastic Waste
Authors: Hao Yuexing , Shafer Glenn
Published: June 2021

For more than half a century, plastic prod-ucts have been a part of people’s lives. When plastic waste is thrown into nature, it can cause a sequence of dangerous effects. Previous researchers esti-mated that global plastic waste in 2020 will be more than 400 million tons. To reduce plastic waste, they built scientific models to analyze the sources of plas-tic and provided solutions for regenerating these plastic wastes. However, their models are static and inaccurate, which may cause some false predictions.In this paper, we first observe the distribution of the real-world plastic waste data. Then, we build simple exponential growth model and logistics model to match these data. By testing different models on our plots, we discover that the SELF-ADAPTIVE MODEL is the best to describe and correctly predict our future plastic waste production, as this model combines the benefits of SIMPLE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH MODEL and the LOGISTIC MODEL. The self-Adaptive model has the potential to minimize the error rate and make the predictions more accurate. Based on this model, we can develop more accurate and informative solu-tions for the real-world plastic problems.

Free-floating satellites with onboard robotic manipulators are subjected to widely varying loads resulting from the motion of the robotic manipula-tors. As there are no fixed supports in space, these loads will cause the satellite to move. By modelling the motion of the onboard robotic arms, determin-ing the necessary reaction loads (which must be sup-plied by the satellite to keep the arm fixed), and sim-ulating the resulting satellite dynamics, we designed a model of a satellite-arm system. We found that a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control scheme, with disturbance-estimating capabilities, was effective in maintaining satellite position and ori-entation during the operation of the onboard ro-botic manipulator. The MATLAB-based Simulink modeling environment was used to perform the sim-ulations of satellite dynamics and control.
