BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Diphtheria is a vaccine preventable disease caused by toxicogenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Since declaration of an outbreak in Nigeria in December 2022, Kano state has been its epicentre, with 77% of the 12,581 confirmed cases nationally. In response, a Decentralised Model of Care (DMC) for delivering proximal, fast, and easily accessible curative and preventive community-based health care was introduced in Kano. Here, we describe implementation of this DMC and assess its impact in reducing mortality from diphtheria during this outbreak.

METHODS
Components of DMC:
• OPD for the triaging and management of mild cases
• Contact clinic (mobile and fixed) to improve access to preventative care for close contacts
Main packages of DMC:
• Health and Infection Prevention and Control promotion
• Chemoprophylaxis and vaccination for close contacts
• Identification and management of simple cases
• Referral of complicated cases
• Training of health workers
DMC was implemented within existing public health facilities for outpatient services, and in the community for the management of close contacts. The selection of facilities was guided by epidemiological data analysis and mapping.
Chi-square testing was used for analysing statistical significance on mortality before and after the implementation of DMC.

RESULTS
Between weeks 2 and 48 of 2023, the health facilities included in this study managed a total of 12,662 suspected diphtheria cases. From this, 1,987 cases (136 deaths; CFR 6.84%) were managed before implementation of DMC (before week 34), and 10,675 cases (611 deaths; CFR 5.72%) were managed after its implementation (from week 34 to 48). One-tailed Chi-square testing showed a statistically significant difference in mortality before and after implementation (p-value 0.02).

CONCLUSIONS
DMC may have contributed to the reduction of mortality in healthcare facilities. Upon in-depth analysis of the impact of DMC, it may be recommended for implementation in large outbreaks. Further studies, however, need to be conducted to assess the role of DMC in improving patients’ access to healthcare and reducing the burden on healthcare facilities during massive outbreaks.
Profound Alkalosis and Prolonged QT Interval Due to Inappropriate Gastrostomy Tube Loss: A Case Report
Authors: Turner Forrest , Friedman Brandon , Meyers H. Pendell , Smith Stephen W.
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Severe metabolic alkaloses are relatively rare but can carry a high mortality rate. Treatment involves supportive care and treatment of underlying causes. Case Report: A 55-year-old male dependent on a gastrojejunostomy tube presented to the emergency department for altered mental status. The patient had metabolic alkalosis, electrolyte abnormalities, and prolonged QT interval on electrocardiogram. Examination and history revealed that chronic drainage of gastric ﬂuid via malfunctioning a gastrojejunostomy tube resulted in profound alkalosis. The patient recovered with supportive care, electrolyte repletion, and gastrojejunostomy tube replacement. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of gastrointestinal acid-base pathophysiology.

Published: April 2024

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is used in the treatment of various cancers and has good effectiveness. However, its therapeutic use is limited due to its effects on various organs and healthy cells. Doxorubicin can affect the kidneys and cause toxicity. Evidence shows that DOX induces nephrotoxicity through oxidative stress. Objectives: In this research, we examined the effect of mitochondrial transplantation on improving mitochondrial and cellular toxicity caused by DOX on renal proximal tubular cells (RPTCs). Methods: The research measured 7 toxicity parameters, including cell lysis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) decline, GSH and GSSG content, lipid peroxidation (LPO), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, and Caspase-3 activity (the final mediator of apoptosis). Active fresh mitochondria were prepared from Wistar rat kidney. Results: The findings indicated that DOX caused cytotoxicity in RPTCs. Additionally, DOX induced oxidative stress by increasing the level of reactive oxygen species, reducing glutathione content, and elevating lipid peroxidation. Moreover, it led to damage to the mitochondrial membrane, increased caspase-3 activity, and decreased ATP content. Mitochondrial transplantation, as a new therapeutic approach, reduced oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane damage, and apoptosis caused by DOX in RPTCs. Furthermore, this therapeutic approach increased the ATP content in RPTCs. Conclusions: Our study suggests that this therapeutic approach could be helpful in the treatment of drug-induced nephrotoxicity.
Improvement of area accuracy in general boundary areas in Kenya:
Authors: Bernard Ochori Ogechi  , Patroba Achola Odera
Published: April 2024

Land ownership in the vast Kenyan Trust land is through the process of Land adjudication. The Preliminary Index Diagrams (PIDs) are the official map documents that together with adjudication records constitute the adjudication register that forms the basis for determination and registration of interests and rights over land. The PIDs are produced from enlarged, marked and un-rectified aerial photographs; as a result they contain distortions to parcel area which more than often is a source of land disputes, especially in resolving the gap between area contained in the title deeds and the actual parcel area on the ground. Generally, the uncertainty in PID area is about 20% of the actual area. We propose a procedure that can be used to reduce large errors in PIDs by comparing ground survey and PID areas in Juja. To achieve the objectives of this study, PIDs of 31 large plots in Juja were prepared from un-rectified aerial photographs. The area of each parcel was measured in the usual way, using plannimeter. Ground surveyed areas for the same parcels within the area of study were obtained from existing survey plans, normally referred to as folio references (F/Rs), and also through ground survey on parcels without F/Rs. The root mean square of the differences between PIDs and ground survey (F/Rs) areas was Â±14.63 hectares. The distortions increased with increase in areal size. A conversion equation was developed to reduce areal errors. Using the conversion equation on PID areas, the root mean square of the differences reduced from Â±14.63 to Â±2.95 hectares, representing an improvement of 80%. The correction equation obtained can be used to obtain corrected parcel areas to facilitate accurate valuation of land parcels in the PID areas. This technique is simple because it requires only PID areas and it works well.
GENDER BASED LEADERSHIP AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION
Authors: Hannah Gidudu Lunyolo
Published: April 2024

Female head teachers in Uganda primary schools are affected by their earlier socialization and cultural understanding of their roles. Quite often women have been sidelined and their contributions in schools have not been recognized. Accordingly, there are very few female head teachers in Government Grant-Aided primary schools. These minimal numbers of women in decision making positions make Africa lose human resource in development. It is against this background that this study was aimed to explore the challenges faced female head teachers in Government Grant-Aided primary schools. The general question of the study was, â€˜which unique challenges do female administrators face in Government Grant-Aided primary schools in Uganda? The findings of the study will act as a reference to other researchers within the same field of study and also provide a voice for female head teachers.
A Survey Report on the Effectiveness of Advance Organizers Research as aTeaching Strategy
Authors: Josephat Kariru Kigo  , Mark Okere  , Christopher Mkrema Maghanga
Published: April 2024

The effect of various types of advance organizers on studentsâ€™ achievement and retention in various subjects and at various learning levels has been a vibrant area of research in education. Use of advance organizers has been attributed to overcoming low performance of students in subjects like chemistry, physics and others. The causes of low performance has been attributed to insufficient man power, lack of equipment, poor attitude of students, poor understanding of concepts involved and even overloaded curriculum and ineffective teaching. This paper reports on the survey of most recently published research results on the effectiveness of advance organizers in teaching. Integration of technology for the construction and use of advance organizers will also be discussed. If seen as an intervention to improving performance and retention, teachers and tutors will be encouraged to adopt advance organizer teaching strategy.
And the Prayer of Faith Shall Save the Sick: An Intertextual Analysis of the Narrative of Faith Healing in the Media
Authors: Hinderaker Amorette ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This study presents an intertextual narrative analysis of 524 news stories on 11 high profile faith healing cases involving death or life-threatening illness of a child. Analysis traced growth of the public narrative of faith healing through elements of news production, distribution, and consumption. Findings suggest, first, an epic narrative form that allowed growth of a conceptual narrative. Second, results suggest that framing of news is influenced more by proximity of related historical events than proximity of the current action to the audience. Lastly, results suggest that where religion and law clash, media narrative resigns religion to antenarrative.
Sir Mohammed Iqbal and the Muslim Jeremiad
Authors: Jangbar Sakina ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This paper analyzes two poems written by Sir Mohammed Iqbal, a 20th century philosopher-poet, who played a significant role in the Indian struggle for independence from the British Raj. I argue that in the Complaint and the Answer to the Complaint, Iqbal utilizes a Muslim jeremiad to construct an Indian-Muslim identity that is steeped in history yet looks towards new possibilities for people struggling under an oppressive colonial regime. The paper concludes that Iqbal combines elements of Biblical, conservative, and progressive jeremiads to dissolve the contradictions of tradition/progress and spirituality/political agitation that had immobilized his community.
Judge Roy Moore, the Alabama Special Senate Election, and the Pharisee Effect
Authors: Powell Larry , Hickson Mark , Amsbary Jonathan H. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This study analyzed the image of Judge Roy Moore as it changed during the 2017 Alabama Special Senate Election. Specifically, this study sought to determine whether the surprising loss in the election, which resulted after allegations that he dated and assaulted teenage girls while serving as an assistant District Attorney, could be attributed to the Pharisee Effect. The analysis concluded that two elements of the Pharisee Effect were in play during the campaign. Specifically, the charges contributed to an image of hypocrisy for Judge Moore, while accentuating the concept of fanaticism that was already associated with his image. As such, the Pharisee Effect appears to be one element that contributed to his eventual loss in the election.
“Men” and “Ladies”: An Archaeology of Gendering in the Evangelical Church
Authors: Ward. Mark ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

The gendered evangelical subject is constituted by a discursive formation with a premodern genealogy refracted through a modern epistemology. To support this claim and demonstrate how the formation determines evangelical discourses on gender, the study applies Foucault’s theory of the discursive formation to deconstruct evangelical gender ideology. The formation’s genealogy is traced to the New Testament “household code” and its epistemology situated in the Enlightenment-inspired doctrine of biblical “inerrancy” by which the code is deemed authoritative. How the formation regulates evangelical responses to modern feminism is reviewed, along with recent movements within evangelicalism toward reordering its “biblical” discourse on gender.
Still the "Last Marxist"?
Authors: Shoikhedbrod Igor ,   Saint Louis University
Published: April 2024

Jürgen Habermas’s recent engagement with Marx in Auch eine Geschichte der Philosophie has mostly gone unnoticed by commentators. Habermas is among the few representatives of the Frankfurt School who has consistently stressed the importance of the “Marxian heritage” for a rigorous understanding of critical theory. In this essay, I critically examine two guiding threads in Habermas’s ongoing reconstruction of historical materialism: the relationship between labor and interaction, as well as the emancipatory potential unleashed by the democratic constitutional state. I argue that Habermas’s reconstruction of historical materialism points to several lacunae in Marx’s work, but that it also reveals valuable insights into the latter’s oeuvre that have yet to be adequately addressed by Habermas. I conclude that it is time for Habermas to consciously reclaim the “Marxian heritage.”
Toward A Formal-Pragmatic Theory of Communicative Memory
Authors: Moran Connor ,   Saint Louis University
Published: April 2024

This article argues that Habermas’s formal-pragmatics are better understood as a set of weak-universal dispositions susceptible to erosion over the course of a lifetime, if exposed to continual “disappointing” communicative experiences. Habermas’s rational-reconstructive project to explicate the intuitive rule-consciousness held by competent speakers retains immense theoretical value for analyzing both partisan and mass political discourse, if his emphasis on isolated speech situations is supplemented with a logic of communicative memory better accounting for how disagreement antecedes discourse on the formal-pragmatic register. I argue that Habermas’s concept of the “lifeworld” contains untapped theoretical resources for thinking about the formal-pragmatic consequences of accumulated partisan experiences; namely, how such experiences lead inter-partisan actors to jettison mutual imputations of communicative accountability. I conclude by offering revisions to Habermas’s discourse ethics. Rapport-building intended to alleviate the negative effects of prior accumulated partisan experiences is first necessary if a norm is to enjoy real justification.
Problémy abstrakce a matematiky u Tomáše Akvinského
Authors: Svoboda David ,   University of South Bohemia
Published: April 2024

Aquinas employs formal abstraction to secure the possibility of mathematics conceived as a theoretical Aristotelian science. Mathematics is a science that investigates real quantity and it grasps its necessary, universal, and changeless properties by means of formal abstraction. In accord with it the paper is divided into two parts. In the first part Aquinas’s conception of (formal) abstraction is explicated against the background of the Aristotelian theory of science and mathematics. In the second part the problems associated with formal abstraction in mathematics are critically assessed.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of profitability in mediating the influence of funding decisions, investment decisions, and company size on the Company's value in 27 companies in the infrastructure sector listed on the IDX Main Board for the period 2017 to 2022. The results showed that funding decisions had a negative insignificant effect, while investment decisions and company size had a significant negative effect on profitability. Furthermore, funding decisions, investment decisions, and profitability have a significant positive effect, while company size has a positive insignificant effect on company value. In the mediation effect test, it was found that profitability was not able to mediate the influence of funding decisions on company value. However, profitability is stated to be able to mediate the respective influence of investment decisions and company size on company value.
Teleological links between Philosophical Counselling and Logotherapy
Authors: Janeš Luka
Published: April 2024

This paper will indicate the methodical and subject tangents between philosophical counselling on the one hand, and logotherapy – a psychotherapeutic direction developed in the middle of the last century by the Austrian psychiatrist and neurologist Viktor Frankl – on the other side of the evaluation spectrum. Three main points will be settled in the focus of the elaboration. The first is a technique of the Socratic dialogue, special characteristic of both approaches set forth in the title of this presentation. Yet we can also comfortably say – of almost all psychotherapeutic schools and techniques. With an emphasis on maieutic as the basis of the psyche-hermeneutic process – dynamic disclosure of the person’s essence and its intentional telos. The second point refers to reaching the meaning and purpose of a person as the intentional core. The third point is aimed at reaching the spiritual dimension of the person, viewed as a teleological synthesis and reachable aim of the both approaches. In conclusion, the paper will be put forward that now it is a fruitful time for the therapeutic relationship on the global scene to return to its philosophical foundations methodologically and subjectively. Opening the doors for providing and spreading the “philosophical spirituality” as the global paradigm, enabling humanistic encounter and the philosophical dialogue on the wide global horizon.

Sosyoloji, toplumları, sosyal ilişkileri, kurumları ve sosyal olayları inceleyen bir bilim dalıdır. Sosyologlar, toplumda meydana gelen değişimleri, yapıları, eğilimleri ve etkileşimleri anlamak için çeşitli araştırmalar yaparlar. Sosyologlar, toplumun yapılarını ve bu yapıların zaman içinde nasıl değiştiğini inceleyerek, toplumdaki sınıf, cinsiyet, etnik gruplar gibi unsurları anlamaya çalışırlar. Eğitim, aile, ekonomi, siyaset gibi kurumları ve bu kurumlar arasındaki ilişkileri araştırarak, toplumsal düzeni ve etkileşimleri anlamaya çalışırlar. Sosyologlar, bireylerin ve grupların davranışlarını inceleyerek, toplumun kültürel yapısını anlamaya çalışırlar. Dil, normlar, değerler gibi kültürel unsurlar üzerinde de araştırmalar yapabilirler. Sosyologlar, toplumun karşılaştığı sorunları, adaletsizlikleri ve eşitsizlikleri araştırarak, bu sorunlara çözüm önerileri geliştirmeye çalışırlar. Örneğin, yoksulluk, suç, eğitim eşitsizliği gibi konular sosyolojik araştırmaların odak noktalarından biri olabilir. Sosyologlar, toplumun işleyişi ve değişimi hakkında çeşitli teoriler geliştirirler. Bu teoriler, sosyal olayları anlamak ve açıklamak için kullanılır. Sosyoloji araştırmaları genellikle nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemleri kullanarak yapılır. Nitel araştırma, derinlemesine analiz ve açıklamalara odaklanırken, nicel araştırma geniş örneklem ve istatistiksel analizleri içerir. Bu alan içerisinde birçok alt alan bulunmaktadır ve sosyologlar geniş bir konu yelpazesinde çalışabilirler. Sosyoloji araştırmaları, toplumun karmaşıklığını ve çeşitliliğini anlamak ve bu anlayışı kullanarak toplumun sorunlarına çözümler üretmek amacı taşır. Sosyoloji ile ilgilenen profesyonellerin ve akademisyenlerin bir araya geldiği dernekler, bu alanda bilgi paylaşımını teşvik eder, araştırmaları destekler ve sosyologlar arasında iletişimi güçlendirir.

Gagavuz Türkçesinde İstek Bildiren (Subjunktif) Cümle Yapısı
Authors: Peler Gökçe Yükselen , Dilbas Ebru
Published: April 2024

Balkan yarımadası, dil çeşitliliği ve karışımı gösteren önemli bir bölgedir. Burada, yüzyıllar boyunca yoğun ve sürekli dil teması ve diller arası aktarımlar gerçekleşmiştir. Buradaki diller, coğrafi olarak aynı bölgede yer almakta ve umumiyetle aynı topraklarda yan yana bulunmaktadır. Ancak bazıları genetik olarak akraba değildirler, yine de uzun süreli temas nedeniyle biçim ve yapı bakımından benzerlikler gösterirler. Bu bölge, dil temasının mekanizmalarını ve sonuçlarını anlamak için özel bir öneme sahiptir.
Gagavuz Türkçesi Türkiye Türkçesi ve Azerbaycan Türkçesi ile beraber, Oğuz grubu Türk lehçelerinin batı kolunu oluşturmaktadır. Türkiye Türkçesine en yakın yazılı dildir. Tarihi ve bulunduğu coğrafya itibarıyla Balkan dilleri ile önemli ölçüde yapı ve söz dizimi olarak yakınlaşma gösterir. Balkan dilleriyle temasının bir sonucu olarak da Türkiye Türkçesinden ayrılan bazı özelliklere sahiptir. Yapı bakımından Türkiye Türkçesinde bitimsiz fiillerle kurulan istek cümleleri Gagavuz Türkçesinde bitimsiz fiiller yerine emir veya istek eklerinden birini almış bitimli fiillerin getirilmesiyle yapılır. Ayrıca söz diziminde de farklılıklar vardır. Türkiye Türkçesinde sola dallanan bir yapı mevcutken Gagavuz Türkçesinde sağa dallanan yapılar mevcuttur. Gagavuz Türkçesi etkileşim içinde olduğu dillerin etkisiyle bitimli fiillere dayalı sağa dallanan bir cümle yapısı geliştirmiştir. Bu özellikler umumiyetle temas kaynaklı yakınlaşmanın önemli göstergeleri olarak kabul edilmektedir.
Bu çalışmada dil teması, Balkan dil birliği (Balkan Sprachbund) ve Türkçenin bu dil birliği içerisindeki yeri hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Çalışmanın asıl konusunu oluşturan Gagavuz Türkçesinde istek bildiren cümle yapısı gazete, roman, hikâye ve masallardan örnekler verilerek açıklanmıştır.
Future Scope and Current Energy Situation of Wind Energy, with a Simulation of Small Wind Farm in Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB)
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Tithi , Pal Sayak
Published: April 2024

When the world is going through extreme energy shortage, mainly the non-renewable energies, wind energy is the hope along with solar energy, hydro energy, nuclear energy and bio mass energy to meet the energy demand. In the end of 2021, in India only, the wind capacity was 40 GWatt [8]. By the end of 2030, new 30 GWatt offshore wind capacity will be installed [8]. Wind turbines may be of various shapes and sizes. When more than one wind turbines are working together to create electrical power, they form a wind farm. The aim of this particular project is to make a simulation of a small wind farm of 4.5 MW in the simulation part of MATLAB software. Here squirrel cage induction generators are used as the electrical generators connected to the turbines. It generates power for the grid. SVC is connected to the wind turbines to control the overall reactive power. The aim is to make a MATLAB Simulink phasor model of a 4.5 MW wind farm with SVC with three fully functioning wind turbines.

A ORGANIZAÇÃO CURRICULAR COMO ARTEFATO TÉCNICO: UMA LEITURA A PARTIR DA TEORIA CRÍTICA DA TECNOLOGIA
Authors: Maia Ari Fernando , Sampaio Junior Luiz Henrique
Published: April 2024

O ensaio analisa a organização curricular a partir da Teoria Crítica da Tecnologia. Nosso objetivo principal é refletir sobre a dimensão política dos currículos, compreendidos como artefatos técnicos. Discorre sobre o histórico das teorias curriculares no Brasil; apresenta a Filosofia da Tecnologia de Andrew Feenberg; tece uma analogia entre organizações curriculares e artefatos técnicos. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura são feitas discussões pertinentes numa época de disputas políticas entre concepções distintas sobre modelos curriculares. A escola é influenciada pela presença de novas tecnologias e em geral não debate, ensina, ou questiona o currículo. Educação também implica não-liberdade, porém pode dar lugar à liberdade se incorporar a crítica.
Normative Harmonization: The Eclecticism of Talak Law as a Compromise between Islamic Legal Principles and Indonesian Legislation
Authors: Khasan Alimudin  , M. Rifa Jamaludin Nasir
Published: April 2024

This article discusses the validity and legal consequences of divorce in Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach with deductive analysis method and literature study with Normative-Juridical approach. The results show that divorce is considered valid in Islamic law if it fulfills the predetermined conditions. On the other hand, in Indonesian positive law, divorce is recognized as valid if it is carried out through a court hearing process in accordance with Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. In terms of post-divorce legal consequences, both Islamic law and Indonesian positive law regulate the rights, positions and obligations of former husbands and wives. Indonesian positive law, particularly in relation to divorce, has undergone legal eclecticism, incorporating the principles of legality, justice and humanity. Meanwhile, in the context of Islamic law, these principles are manifested in the concept of mashlahat, which covers five aspects, namely the maintenance of religion, soul, mind, offspring, and property.
Frauen als Instrumentalistinnen im 19. Jahrhundert
Authors: Pamir Tamina
Published: April 2024

In der Musikgeschichte wird bisher vor allem Werk und Schaffen männlicher Instrumentalisten und Komponisten betrachtet. Die Errungenschaften und Laufbahnen von Musikerinnen stehen in der Forschung meist im Hintergrund. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, wird anhand der Biografie von Dorette Spohr, einer Harfenistin und Pianistin des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts, aufgezeigt, dass Instrumentalistinnen vor allem im Zwiespalt zwischen Karriere und Familie gestanden haben. Anhand der Selbstbiographie ihres Ehemanns Louis Spohr sowie einigen Konzertberichten werden Faktoren herauskristallisiert, die das Schaffen von Dorette Spohr historisch kontextualisieren, Hindernisse aufzeigen und den Blick der Gesellschaft auf die musizierende Frau des 19. Jahrhunderts demonstrieren.
Vor allem soziale Herkunft und familiäre Umgebung sind essenzielle Voraussetzungen. Mit der Familiengründung und einem sich verschlechternden Gesundheitszustand rückt Dorettes musikalische Karriere in den Hintergrund.
Ihr Beispiel zeigt, dass Frauen als Instrumentalistinnen stets zwischen ihrer Karriere und ihren gesellschaftlichen Zwängen als Mutter und Frau stehen und sich letztendlich meist für letzteres entscheiden müssen.

dimensão maquínica do inconsciente em Freud
Authors: Mattuella Luciano
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo busca explicitar o que chamamos de dimensão maquínica do inconsciente em Freud. Trata-se, entretanto, de uma máquina cujo funcionamento encontra limites e vacilações, pontos de insolubilidade que, segundo nossa hipótese, tornam evidente a tensa filiação freudiana aos ideais positivistas e mecanicistas dos quais é herdeiro. Ainda que fundamentalmente atravessado pelo discurso da ciência clássica, vemos em Freud um pensador o tempo todo questionado pelo singular de sua clínica, por aquilo que individualiza o funcionamento da máquina-inconsciente.

Background: For elderly patients with high-grade gliomas, 3-week hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) is noninferior to standard long-course radiotherapy (LCRT). We analyzed real-world utilization of HFRT with and without systemic therapy in Medicare beneficiaries treated with RT for primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors using Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data. Methods: Radiation modality, year, age (65–74, 75–84, or ≥85 years), and site of care (freestanding vs hospital-affiliated) were evaluated. Utilization of HFRT (11–20 fractions) versus LCRT (21–30 or 31–40 fractions) and systemic therapy was evaluated by multivariable logistic regression. Medicare spending over the 90-day episode after RT planning initiation was analyzed using multivariable linear regression. Results: From 2015 to 2019, a total of 10,702 RT courses (ie, episodes) were included (28% HFRT; 65% of patients aged 65–74 years). A considerable minority died within 90 days of RT planning initiation (n=1,251; 12%), and 765 (61%) of those received HFRT. HFRT utilization increased (24% in 2015 to 31% in 2019; odds ratio [OR], 1.2 per year; 95% CI, 1.1–1.2) and was associated with older age (≥85 vs 65–74 years; OR, 6.8; 95% CI, 5.5–8.4), death within 90 days of RT planning initiation (OR, 5.0; 95% CI, 4.4–5.8), hospital-affiliated sites (OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.3–1.6), conventional external-beam RT (vs intensity-modulated RT; OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 2.3–3.1), and no systemic therapy (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1–1.3; P<.001 for all). Increasing use of HFRT was concentrated in hospital-affiliated sites (P=.002 for interaction). Most patients (69%) received systemic therapy with no differences by site of care (P=.12). Systemic therapy utilization increased (67% in 2015 to 71% in 2019; OR, 1.1 per year; 95% CI, 1.0–1.1) and was less likely for older patients, patients who died within 90 days of RT planning initiation, those who received conventional external-beam RT, and those who received HFRT. HFRT significantly reduced spending compared with LCRT (adjusted β for LCRT = +$8,649; 95% CI, $8,544–$8,755), whereas spending modestly increased with systemic therapy (adjusted β for systemic therapy = +$270; 95% CI, $176–$365). Conclusions: Although most Medicare beneficiaries received LCRT for primary brain tumors, HFRT utilization increased in hospital-affiliated centers. Despite high-level evidence for elderly patients, discrepancy in HFRT implementation by site of care persists. Further investigation is needed to understand why patients with short survival may still receive LCRT, because this has major quality-of-life and Medicare spending implications.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is recognized as an opportunistic pathogen and a common contributor to wound infections. This study focused on evaluating the antibacterial activity of selected Polish honeys against P. aeruginosa. Six bacterial strains isolated from wounds and four types of honeys (multifloral, linden, buckwheat, and heather) were utilized. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined through the micro-dilution method employing 96-well plates, while antibiofilm activity was assessed using fluorescence microscopy after a 4-hour incubation period with the honeys. Results indicated diverse antibacterial efficacy among honeys, with linden and heather honeys demonstrating the most potent activity. Linden honey displayed an average MIC of 20.8%, while heather honey exhibited an MIC of 25%. Both honeys significantly reduced biofilm formation, with linden honey achieving a reduction of 54-67% and heather honey of 45-58%. Buckwheat and multifloral honeys exhibited lower activity, demonstrating average MIC levels of 37.5% and 41.7%, respectively, and a biofilm reduction below 20%. Conclusively, Polish honeys exhibited promising activity against both planktonic and biofilm forms of P. aeruginosa. These findings suggest potential applications in wound healing treatments, emphasizing the need for further research in this area. The study contributes valuable insights to the limited literature on the antibacterial activity of Polish honeys.

Published: April 2024

A closed-cycle technology for building gypsum producing using energy waste and flue gases of thermal power plants has been developed. The technology is based on an absorption method for purifying gas emissions from industrial enterprises from sulfur dioxide SO2 using a suspension of carbonate sludge and obtaining a finished product – gypsum dihydrate. The commercial gypsum is obtained by using a suspension of carbonate sludge as a reagent. The suspension is formed at the stage of preliminary purification of natural water during coagulation and liming. Coagulation is carried out with ferrous sulfate heptate FeSO4×7H2O, liming – with a saturated solution of lime milk Ca(OH)2. As a result of combining the two processes, a suspension of a certain chemical composition is formed. The chemical composition of the sludge and its technological characteristics are presented. The main substance in the chemical composition is calcium carbonate CaCO3, which allows using a sludge suspension in the chemical reaction of the interaction of flue gases from thermal power plants with the formation of building gypsum. An absorber with a fluidized nozzle has been selected and designed to purify gas emissions from wet suspensions and produce commercial dihydrate gypsum. Hollow or solid hydrophobic polyethylene balls were selected as nozzles to reduce the adhesion of sludge suspension particles to their surface. A technological scheme is presented for purifying flue gases from sulfur dioxide to obtain the finished product – building gypsum. The scheme includes the proposed adsorber, sludge suspension tank, hydrocyclone and filter press. The cost of the resulting commercial building gypsum was calculated, which amounted to 15 rub./year, the payback period was 3,5 years. The prevented environmental harm from soil and land degradation from the introduction of this technology at thermal power plants was calculated by reducing the emission of sulfur dioxide into the air, which amounted to about 1 mil. rub./year.

Authors: Trapeznikova Marina , Agaev Guloglan
Published: April 2024

The article attempts to consider the theoretical, legal and practical aspects of the violation of fire safety requirements provided for in Art. 219 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The authors analyzed the most complex and practical issues related to the application of this rule of law from the standpoint of modern standards. The conclusions are substantiated that in judicial and investigative practice difficulties arise in the application of Art. 219 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and these difficulties are associated, in particular, with the fact that this norm does not provide for criminal liability of individuals, regardless of their position, as well as the «amount of direct damage» caused by fires. In order to improve prevention and response measures to problems of fire safety violations, it is proposed to reconstruct the legal norms under consideration.
