The effect of acute alcohol intoxication on risk attitude
Authors:   , McCarty Kayleigh
Published: December 2021

There is a strong relationship between engaging in risk taking behaviors, or behaviors with a high probability of negative and undesirable consequences, and the use of alcohol and other substances of abuse. Mounting evidence suggests that dysfunctional decision making contributes to the development and maintenance of addiction and related behaviors. This study explored the effects of acute alcohol intoxication on decision making under risk. Regular drinkers were recruited for a within subjects, placebo controlled, alcohol administration study. They completed a decision-making task at peak alcohol intoxication and at a time matched assessment in a placebo condition, as well as several baseline measures. The aim of this study was to examine whether alcohol intoxication impacts risk attitude. The associations between risk attitude and related personality traits, problematic alcohol use, and alcohol related risk-taking behaviors were also tested. The results of the study suggest that intoxicated risk attitude, and not risk attitude in the placebo condition, is associated with indices of alcohol consumption and to a lesser extent, alcohol consequences. Alcohol intoxication did not significantly impact risk attitude classification. Risk attitude was not associated with impulsive personality traits, alcohol expectancies, or risk-taking behaviors. While risk attitude may have utility for identifying those who are at risk for alcohol problems, tasks designed to assess behavior specific decision processes may be useful for understanding risky patterns of decision making.
How far can they go? : English language learners' math course taking in high school and school practices
Authors:   , Moon Jeong Mi
Published: December 2021

Over the last three decades in the U.S., schools have endeavored to provide more equitable access to rigorous courses, especially for racially or socioeconomically marginalized students, and increased those students' participation in higher level courses. Despite such improvement, the gaps in high level courses enrollment among racially or socioeconomically different student groups still remain with those marginalized students underrepresented in the high level courses. The present study focused on another marginalized group of students, English language learners (ELLs) and sought to identify school practices that may improve ELLs' access to advanced math courses in high school. Using the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, the present study examined three key school practices in association with ELLs' taking advanced math: i) student choice-based math placement policies, ii) math encouraging programs for underrepresented studentudy found that only math PLCs had a statistically significant association with the probability of taking advanced math courses, net of prior achievement and other student- and school-level factors. The math PLCs examined here represented a collaboration among math teachers to learn effective teaching methods and discuss their teaching/learning belief for students including ELLs or under-performing students. It found no differential effects of school practices and ELLs' taking advanced math courses, the main focus of this study. However, the findings indicate that ELLs can also benefit from high quality math PLCs as much as other students. The key finding of the present study suggests the possible area that school leadership and educators should develop to improve students' access to advanced math courses net of their prior achievement. Particularly for ELLs, the finding suggests that training content area teachers may help ELLs more readily access academicarformance. Most importantly, considering taking advanced math in high school is a critical issue for ELLs in regard to their participation in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) workforce in the future, there should be more research that explicitly investigates school policies and practices that may facilitate ELLs' access to higher level courses in high school. keywords: English language learners, High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, math professional learning communities, student choice, advanaced math
Identifying circumstellar dust around oxygen-rich mira variables with maser emission via continuum elimination
Authors:   , Shepard Lisa
Published: December 2021

Stars between about 0.8 and 8 times the mass of the Sun will eventually evolve, becoming asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, where they pulsate and eject mass from their atmospheres, forming dust shells in the space around them. Evolved low- and intermediate-mass stars with carbon-to-oxygen ratios (C/O) below unity are known as oxygen-rich stars. O-rich stars are surrounded by dust shells containing mineral species dominated by silicate dust grains. In this dissertation, I examine whether dust grains around evolved, oxygen-rich AGB stars have any correlation with maser emission, and to understand the connection, if any, between specific types of maser emission and dust spectral features. I have investigated several methods of continuum elimination using spectroscopy data for the archetypal dusty AGB star, Mira. I have investigated the ~10[mu]m and ~18[mu]m spectral features in the continuum-eliminated spectrum including peak position, barycenter, and full width half maxima (FWHM). The positions and widthved spectral features were compared with those seen in laboratory spectra. I then looked for a correlation between maser emission and dust spectral features in a sample of Mira variables. The types of masers have been identified, and peak positions, barycenter positions, and FWHM have been measured for the sample spectra. The results show that the method of continuum elimination matters for correct identification of dust minerals, while varying the temperature and precise continuum shapes do not have a major effect on the positions of spectral features. Observed astronomical silicate features are complex and indicate the need for different compositions of minerals. Finally, there does not appear to be a correlation between the presence of a maser and dust spectral features based on the information available for analysis.

Published: December 2021

Introduction. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (LES) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting many organ systems with varied clinical manifestations, disease course and prognosis. One of the clinical manifestations that can occur is depression as much as 25%. In LES patients, there is an increase in proinflammatory cytokines, one of which is IL-6, which is often associated with contributing to the pathophysiology of depression. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between serum IL-6 levels and the degree of depression in LES patients at RSUP DR. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang.

Methods. Analytic observational study in the form of correlation test with cross sectional design which was conducted in the Internal Medicine room RSUP DR. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang from May 2019 to March 2020. The number of study subjects was 40 samples who were LES patients with depression who had been calculated using the BDI (Beck's Depression Inventory). All subjects were examined for serum IL-6 levels and evaluated for factors that influence it.

Results. There were 40 study subjects aged 18-56 years. The median degree of depression was 16 with a range of values from 10 to 40. There were 17 people (42.5%) with mild depression degree, 14 people (35%) moderate depression, and 9 people (22.5%) major depression. In LES activities, there were 5 people (12.5%) with light LES activities, 20 people (50%) with moderate LES activities, and 15 people (37.5%) with heavy LES activities. The mean serum IL-6 level was 11.57 pg / mL with a value range of 1.1-50pg / mL. There was a significant correlation between the degree of depression and LES activity (p = 0.004; r = 0.444) and between serum IL-6 levels and the degree of depression (p = 0.025; r = 0.169). However, there was no significant correlation between serum IL-6 levels and LES activity (p = 0.057; r = 0.304).

Conclusion. There is a relationship between serum IL-6 levels and the degree of depression in LES patients at Dr. Moh. Hoesin Palembang with a very weak correlation.

Published: December 2021

The article is aimed at characterizing the public-private partnership (PPP) as an efficient form of investment provision for the tourism sector in Ukraine. This type of cooperation between the State and public sectors is common in Europe, but for Ukraine this cooperation is completely new and is used in terms of a rather narrow range. In particular, PPPs are most often used in the activities of purification, distribution of water, extraction and transportation of gas, and only 2% of public-private partnership agreements are related to the tourism industry. This percentage of agreements in the sphere of tourism is very meager compared to European countries, so the PPP is an urgent issue for research and implementation. Thus, the creation of special economic zones of tourism and recreational type is extremely promising, since it allows to form a strong tourism cluster, functioning for the development of tourism on the region and country levels, in order to meet the needs of tourists, make a profit and facilitate the development domestic tourism. The mechanism of formation of special economic zones of tourism and recreational type (SEZ TRT), or tourism cluster, on the terms of PPP for the purpose of investment provision of the tourism sector has its own features and requires both step-by-step control and organization, and these functions should be carried out both by the public and private sectors. In general, this form of cooperation is effective, has a synergistic effect and is beneficial for all participants in public-private partnerships, ensuring high development of infrastructure, services and related branches of the economy.

Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi utjecaj dodatka mljevenog zrna kukuruza biljnoj masi poluprirodnog travnjaka na pH vrijednost i kemijski sastav fermentirane krme. Biljnoj masi poluprirodnog trvnjaka je kod siliranja dodano mljeveno zrno kukuruza u udjelu od 0, 3, 6, 12 i 24 % na 200 g biljne mase poluprirodnog travnjaka za tretmane TR0, TR3, TR6, TR12 i TR24, tim redom. Formirano je po 5 laboratorijskih silosa (5 ponavljanja) po tretmanu. Laboratorijski silosi ostavljeni su fermentirati 47 dana nakon čega je klasičnim metodama utvrđen sadržaj suhe tvari (ST) i pH vrijednost, a NIR spektroskopijom kemijski parametri fermentirane krme: sirovi proteini (SP), sirova vlakna (SV), pepeo, nedušićne ekstraktivne tvari (NET) i sirove masti (SM). Utvrđeno je da dodatak 3 % mljevenog zrna kukuruza biljnoj masi poluprirodnog travnjaka kod siliranja ne utječe na sadržaj ST, SP i SV, dok dodatak 3 i 6 % ne utječu na sadržaj pepela, NET i pH vrijednost fermentirane krme (P>0,05). Dodatak 3-24 % mljevenog zrna kukuruza biljnoj masi poluprirodnog travnjaka kod siliranja linearno povećava sadržaj ST (P<0,001), SV (P<0,001), NET (P<0,001), a smanjuje sadržaj SP (P<0,05) i pepela (P<0,001) u fermentiranoj krmi. Zaključeno je da, od istraživanih tretmana, najveći učinak na snižavanje pH vrijednosti ima dodatak 12% mljevenog zrna kukuruza biljnoj masi poluprirodnog travnjaka. Osim toga, dodatak mljevenog zrna kukuruza utječe na kemijski sastav, kao preduvjet hranidbene vrijednosti fermentirane krme, na način da smanjuje sadržaj SP i pepela, a povećava sadržaj ST, SV i NET-a u fermentiranoj krmi.

Authors: ТАРАСОВ Александр Алексеевич
Published: December 2021

Witness immunity, that is, the right of persons expressly referred to in the criminal procedure law to refuse to testify about circumstances, is considered in the special literature as one of the criminal procedure institutions, relating to the procedural status of the witness or the rules for his or her interrogation. Purpose: to demonstrate that the list of persons having witness immunity and the legal characteristics of the circumstances to which they are entitled not to testify, and the general rules for interrogating such persons, and exceptions to these general rules are indicators of the level of development of the national criminal procedure and legal system of a particular State. Methods: the author uses the methods of structural-system analysis and synthesis, comparative jurisprudence. The author's comparative analysis of Russian and German criminal procedure law clearly demonstrates the social and economic conditionality of the methods of securing witness immunity and the possibility of international exchange of law enforcement experience. The main conclusion from the study is the following: the legal significance of the criminal procedural institution of witness immunity goes far beyond the actual criminal procedure, and this institution has significant dynamics, reflecting changes in the socio-economic and political life of society.

Published: December 2021

The paper points out the role of criminalistics in providing criminal proceedings with cognitive tools that allow solving one of the key tasks of justice – protecting the rights and legitimate interests of persons and organizations who have been victims of crimes, and above all, minors who have become victims of crimes and the possibility of conducting investigations taking into account the mental and physical characteristics of participants in criminal proceedings. The purpose of the paper is to identify and substantiate the topicality of the problem of criminalistic support for the participation of a minor victim in criminal proceedings. The following methods are used: empirical comparison and description methods, theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Results: a number of problems are identified regarding the participation of minor victims in criminal proceedings. In that connection, a theoretical justification is provided for the need for further research of the problem and for the establishment of a special criminalistic doctrine on that basis.

Background: Stroke is worldwide second leading cause of death and the most common cause of disability. The aim of the study is to evaluate the common comorbidities and their impact on hospital outcome in patients after stroke
Methods: This observational study was carried out amongst 228 of acute stroke patients after fulfills the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were admitted indifferent medicine unit of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College Hospital, Faridpur, Bangladesh from May 2020 to April 2021. All cases were confirmed by CT scan or MRI of brain. Stroke were categorizes as Ischemic stroke, Intra-cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). HTN, DM, IHD were considered as common comorbidities. Prognostic factors were included stage II or III hypertension, altered level of consciousness, previous stroke and large size of stroke.
Results: In this study, male affected more than female (68.42% vs 31.58% and ratio 2.1:1). Age >60 years were more affected (68.86%). Most affected patients were Ischemic stroke (61.40%), then ICH (34.21%) and then SAH (3.07%). Common comorbidities were HTN and DM (48.68% and 34.64% respectively). Most of expired patients had comorbidities (80.64%). Worst prognostic factors were altered level of consciousness, stage II or III hypertension and large size of stroke (27.19%, 25.0% and 19.29% respectively). Among hospital outcome most of patients improved and discharged eventfully (41.22%), Deteriorate (17.98%), remain static and discharged (14.03%) and death 13.59%.
Conclusion: The most of patients had been suffered from ischemic stroke which were more common in male. The commonest risk factor of stroke was hypertension followed by diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease. Our pooled result showed that majority of the patients were improved and discharged and around one sixth of stroke patients have died during hospitalization. The control of comorbid conditions will be much help for prevention of occurrence of stroke and will reduces the disability from stroke events.

Objectives: To assess systolic left ventricular function determined by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with the help of Echocardiography and correlate with ECG findings in patients of AMI.
Methods: One hundred (100) cases of acute myocardial infarction were studied in the Department of Cardiology, DMCH from July 2015 to December 2015. It was an observational study. All selected patients were interviewed with a preformed questionnaire and were observed up to 7 days in hospital. Echocardiography was done to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by applying Teichholz (cube) formula.
Results: 83% of them were males and 17% of them were females. Mean age (±SD) was 52.24±11.59 years (range 34-82 years). The important risk factors among the study subjects, was hypertension (45%) (Male 40.96%; Female 64.7%) followed by Diabetes mellitus (33%) (Male 31.32%; Female 41.17%). Most of the admitted patients could reach in hospital within 4-12 hours of onset of symptoms and most of the patients of acute myocardial infarction had anterior wall involvement (37%). Mild systolic LV dysfunction (52.87%) was revealed in echocardiography among the survivors.
Conclusion: The incidence of AMI was seen common among farmers who were mostly hypertensive. Systolic LV dysfunction was common in most patients where anterior wall involvement was present.

Published: December 2021

Tuberous sclerosis complex is an unusual neurocutaneous syndrome with autosomal-dominant inheritance. It is characterized by the development of benign tumors involving the brain, skin, retina, heart, kidneys, lungs, and liver. The classic triad of clinical features comprises learning disability, epilepsy and skin lesions but there is marked heterogeneity in clinical features. Here, we present a case report of a 17-old-year male with characteristic clinical and radiological features of tuberous sclerosis complex.

Background: The ganglioside GD2 is a potential circulating tumor biomarker for the childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. Interpreting the levels of a circulating tumor biomarker depends in part on a knowledge of the biomarker’s clinical pharmacology.
Background: The ganglioside GD2 is a potential circulating tumor biomarker for the childhood cancer neuroblastoma. Interpreting the levels of a circulating tumor biomarker depends in part on a knowledge of the biomarker’s clinical pharmacology.
Methods: We studied the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pharmacokinetics of the C18 lipoform of GD2 in two nonhuman primates with indwelling subcutaneous CSF lateral ventricular reservoir systems. GD2 was quantified with a validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/tandem mass spectrometry assay. GD2 was administered as a short intravenous infusion and frequent plasma and CSF samples were drawn over 72 hours.
Results: GD2 plasma concentration declined monoexponentially with a half-life of 16 hours. Clearance was 0.0136 and 0.0131 L/h and volume of distribution (Vd) was 0.035 and 0.038 L/kg in the two animals. Vd was equivalent to plasma volume. Greater than 98% of GD2 in plasma is in a bound form consistent with its known association with lipoproteins and accounting for its limited volume of distribution. GD2 did not cross over from plasma into the CSF.
Conclusions: The pharmacokinetic profile of GD2 is favorable for a circulating tumor biomarker. This study demonstrates the value of characterizing the clinical pharmacology of circulating biomarkers to better understand their clinical behavior.

Son yıllarda iklim değişikliğinin etkilerinin giderek artmasıyla bitkisel üretim için toprak neminin önemini daha da ön plana çıkmaktadır. Kısıtlı ve düzensiz yağışlar nedeniyle bitkinin suya ihtiyaç duyduğu dönemlerde yeterince su sağlanamamaktadır. Bu çalışmada üç farklı toprak ordusunda yetiştirilen farklı ayçiçeği çeşitlerinin gelişim periyodundaki toprak nem durumları değerlendirilmiştir. Topraktaki nemin durumu birçok faktöre bağlı olmakla birlikte toprak tekstürü en önemli etkendir. Su tutma kapasitesi yüksek olan kil tekstüre sahip çalışma alanı toprakları ayçiçeği gelişim peryotlarında yeterli nemi içermesinden dolayı verim ve diğer kalite parametlerinde ortalama değerleri sağlamaktadır. Çalışma alanı topraklarından Entisol Ordosu topraklarının çimlenme dönemi ile olgunlaşma dönemi arasında yüzey toprağında içerdiği nem değeri 166,05-95,31 mm arasında, İnceptisol Ordosunun yüzey toprağında ise 143,08-56,43 mm arasında ve Vertisol toprağında ise 169,47-46,92 mm arasında ölçülmüştür. Sulama yapılmayan toprağın yüzey horizonlarındaki nem içeriğinin bitki gelişimi periyodunda ki ihtiyaç duyduğu nemi karşılamasıyla birlikte verime etkileri değerlendirildiğinde; nem içeriği en yüksek aralıkta olan Entisol toprağında en yüksek verimi Bosfora (255 kg/da) ve P64LL05 (253 kg/da) çeşitlerinden elde edildiği görülmüştür. İnceptisol ve Vertisol topraklarında ise özellikle çiçeklenme dönemlerinde toprak nemin azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Bu iki toprak genelde daha düşük nem içeriklerine sahip olmasına rağmen Maxtor çeşidinde İnceptisol toprağında 251 kg/da Vertisol toprağında 254 kg/da verim değerleriyle daha yüksek verim elde edilmiştir.

Levando em consideração a importância da inclusão de alunos/as com deficiência nas aulas de Educação Física Escolar, o estudo objetivou investigar o processo de inclusão nas aulas desse Componente Curricular em uma escola ribeirinha localizada na Ilha do Combu, em Belém do Pará. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa baseada na abordagem qualitativa. A coleta de dados foi empregada através de uma entrevista semiestruturada com uma estudante com deficiência. Para interpretação dos dados foi realizada a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram falta de acessibilidade para o embarque e desembarque dos alunos com deficiência. A infraestrutura inadequada da escola e nos espaços utilizados nas aulas de Educação Física. A necessidade de formação específica ou continuada para os professores. Concluiu-se a necessidade de implementação de políticas públicas efetivas que atendam a educação ribeirinha que possibilitem de fato inclusão de alunos/as com deficiência, especialmente nas aulas de Educação Física. Assim sendo, este estudo pode impulsionar mais pesquisas neste universo, contribuindo para o fortalecimento da práxis relativa à inclusão de alunos/as marginalizados em razão das deficiências.

Em levantamentos do volume de povoamentos, o viés não deriva apenas do processamento dos dados e das estimativas, podendo ser de seleção, quando a amostra não garante a representatividade da população; de admissão, quando a amostra advém de uma população especial; de amostragem; ou ainda podem ser imensuráveis, como erros sistemáticos e decorrentes do operador ou do próprio instrumento. O volume de um povoamento pode ser obtido através do uso de expressões matemáticas que utilizam as variáveis altura e diâmetro, ou circunferência onde o diâmetro é obtido com uso da suta e a circunferência por meio da fita métrica e, ambas, incorrem em erros que dependem do formato e deformidade das seções transversais do tronco. Este trabalho propõe uma metodologia com base na utilização de imagens digitais das seções do tronco e do uso da técnica de Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNA) para obtenção da área seccional na cubagem cuja estimativa de volume seja mais precisa e acurada do que a obtida por meio da suta e fita métrica, quando comparadas com os dados reais de volume obtidos pelo xilômetro. Com uma base de dados de plantios clonais de Eucalyptus sp., a metodologia proposta foi capaz de estimar com precisão a área seccional dos discos de madeira, resultando em estimativas de volume com apenas 0,26% de variação média em comparação com o xilômetro, enquanto suta e fita apresentaram, respectivamente, -1,41% e 4,08% de variação. Os resultados obtidos pelas fotos também demonstraram não ser tendenciosos, enquanto a fita métrica apresentou tendência a superestimar os volumes e a suta a subestimá-los.

O objetivo principal deste estudo foi refletir sobre a aplicação dos testes psicológicos em uso no Brasil com as possibilidades de validação dos mesmos pela Sociedade Brasileira de Psicologia, evidenciando a sua utilidade e as principais incorrências em relação ao seu uso, principalmente no tocante as situações que evidenciam distúrbios relacionados as dificuldades de aprendizagem escolar em crianças com inteligência normal, por meio de uma avaliação compreensiva integrando o funcionamento intelectual e a organização da personalidade. A fundamentação teórica psicanalítica sustenta que processos psíquicos patológicos podem diminuir a função da curiosidade e causar sintomas de inibição intelectual ou falta de concentração. A utilização de instrumentos de avaliação psicológica é uma prática necessária para a atuação do psicólogo. Nessa perspectiva, esse estudo teve como objetivo investigar o uso de instrumentos de avaliação psicológica por psicólogos. Em relação aos instrumentos mais utilizados, constatou-se que são os testes de avaliação da personalidade.
