Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russian Federation, VOEVODINA EKATERINA , TEN YULIA , TYURIKOV ALEXANDER
Published: April 2023

Interest in the analysis of trust in social communications is due to the fact that modern society is subject to a number of global challenges in economics and politics. Young people, as the most susceptible and labile group of the population, may experience the negative impact of these challenges, coupled with a crisis of values and social guidelines. The purpose of the research is to analyze the perceptions of trust among bachelor students from Moscow universities in the context of social communications. Empirical data are presented by the results of a survey of full-time students living in Moscow and the Moscow Region (n = 441, 2021). The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is formed by the theories of trust of Russian and foreign researchers (F. Fukuyama, Yu. Lo, P.M. Doni, V.Yu. Stolyar, P.M. Kozyreva, S.V. Ryzhova, et al.). The scientific novelty of the study is the identified patterns of the phenomenon of trust in the youth environment. The results of the study show the ambiguity of the interpretation of trust by students. In building trusting relationships, honesty, openness and sincerity are most significant for students. Most consider it impossible to have relationships without trust with relatives and friends. In intercultural communications, it is easier for students to trust post-Soviet citizens. For barriers of trust, the most significant was the socio-cultural barrier (difference in mentality, norms, values, the presence of stereotypes, etc.), as well as the language barrier. The conclusions and recommendations presented in the article can be used in further research on student trust, as well as for making managerial decisions to strengthen the value of trust in education.

The article analyzes the transformation of the human intellect as a connection between the collective conscious and the collective unconscious. The phenomenon of the collective professional unconscious is examined. Learning is defined as a directed transformation of the intellect of the individual, providing the possibility of effective communication with the information environment. The authors substantiate the hypothesis that human intelligence is dual in nature and is determined by the nature of interpersonal communications, as a result of which a common neural network is formed. The professional collective unconscious, as a segment of the collective unconscious, is responsible for the highest levels of professionalism - for the presence of professional intuition, for flashes of creative activity, the so-called “insights”, etc. The authors come to the conclusion that the use of the collective professional unconscious makes it possible to move to a different level of interaction with transpersonal information structures. This approach now opens up new opportunities in learning.

O recuo do espaço público e suas consequências: uma perspectiva da cidade de Ituiutaba (MG)
Authors: Pereira Lucas Alves , Jr Antonio de Oliveira
Published: April 2023

A cidade capitalista em sua dimensão pública dos espaços, manifesta na contemporaneidade um recuo expressivo a partir dos impactos da produção do espaço urbano. Ao considerarmos o espaço público enquanto produto, é resultante do interesse e desinteresse de um grupo de agentes que organiza o espaço das cidades pautando a estruturação, sobretudo pela relação entre valor de uso e valor de troca. Por outro lado, o espaço público interpretado como condição de realização da vida cotidiana, ele comporta as determinações e possibilidades que a sociabilidade proporciona. Neste sentido, nossa proposta é identificar elementos que comprovam o recuo do espaço público na cidade de Ituiutaba, considerando que o consumo tem influência significativa nas novas formas de espaço público. Para tanto, é trabalhado a relação entre o abandono da constituição de novas praças públicas vinculando a discussão sobre a relação entre valor de uso e valor de troca, bem como de alguns impactos do recuo do espaço público no cotidiano e na reprodução social. Foi possível observar a partir do desenvolvimento teórico e o amparo empírico, que o consumo passa suplantar o uso, também que o controle e vigilância passaram a orientar a constituição dos novos espaços de sociabilidade, assim reduzindo quantitativamente e qualitativamente o espaço público.

Published: April 2023

Conhecer os principais fatores que influenciam o grau da percepção de risco de inundação dos diversos atores de um sistema urbano é fundamental para possibilitar mudanças comportamentais e o desenvolvimento de medidas mais eficazes de redução de risco e preparação diante da ocorrência de uma inundação. A presente pesquisa visa avaliar os fatores que influenciam no grau da percepção de risco de inundação na promoção de ações assertivas para adaptação e mitigação das mudanças climáticas. A metodologia envolve uma revisão sistemática da literatura como técnica de pesquisa. Os estudos destacam uma tendência de que entrevistados com idade mais avançada, mais experiência de inundação, maior consciência, menor renda mensal, menor escolaridade e menos confiança no governo apresentaram maior percepção de risco. Além disso, indicam deficiências significativas nos entendimentos atuais, destacando a escassez de evidências para a relação entre as percepções de risco e o comportamento de mitigação, e uma falha em fazer uso de estruturas teóricas na pesquisa. Sugere-se como estratégia na gestão de risco que ela deva ser adaptada aos diferentes grupos populacionais, considerando as características e necessidades de cada um deles.
The scale-up process and the nascent board’s modus operandi: The role of attention and self-efficacy
Authors: Bédat Joëlle , Wirtz Peter
Published: April 2023

This article presents the results of a processual case study examining a young scale-up’s board of directors, focusing on board members’ attention and self-efficacy. The results help us to better understand why the board’s mode of operation sometimes leans towards discipline and sometimes towards cognition (or both), independently of the venture’s life cycle. The study reveals that the intensity of treatment of cognitive vs. disciplinary issues is highly, but not exclusively, dependent on the entry of new investors and hence changes from stage to stage. The results confirm Knockaert et al.’s (2015) intuition of the importance of attention and self-efficacy bias. Unlike the findings of those authors, however, it appears that the primary objects of attention and self-efficacy change over time and as the result of the multiple directors’ complex actions. This leads to dynamic changes in the board’s operations over time.
Causes & risk factors for unscheduled readmissions in the paediatric ward of a major public hospital
Authors: Kundana P. Keerthi , Agrawal Mukesh , Tullu Milind S. , Kulkarni Ankita A.
Published: April 2023

Background & objectives:

Readmissions are often considered as an indicator of poor quality of care during previous hospitalization, although many of these are unavoidable or unrelated to the past admission. The identification of high-risk cases for readmissions and appropriate interventions will help not only reduce the hospital burden but also to establish the credibility of the hospital. So this study aimed to determine the readmission percentage in the paediatric wards of a tertiary care hospital and to identify the reasons and risk factors that can help minimize preventable re-hospitalizations.

Methods:

This prospective study from a public hospital included 563 hospitalized children, classified as first admission or readmissions. Readmissions were defined as one or more hospitalizations within preceding six months, excluding scheduled admissions for investigations or treatment. Reason-wise, the readmissions were classified into various categories, based on the opinion of three paediatricians.

Results:

The percentage of children getting readmitted within six, three and one month time from the index admission was 18.8, 11.1 and 6.4 per cent, respectively. Among readmissions, 61.2 per cent were disease-related, 16.5 per cent unrelated, 15.5 per cent patient-related, 3.8 per cent medication/procedure-related and 2.9 per cent physician-related causes. Patient- and physician-related causes were deemed preventable, contributing to 18.4 per cent. The proximity of residence, undernutrition, poor education of the caretaker and non-infectious diseases were associated with increased risk of readmission.

Interpretation & conclusions:

The findings of this study suggest that readmissions pose a substantial burden on the hospital services. The primary disease process and certain sociodemographic factors are the major determinants for the increased risk of readmissions among paediatric patients.

Authors: Gorur Levent , Dolanbay Mehmet , Ozturk Figen , Canoz Ozlem , Donmez-Altuntas Hamiyet
Published: April 2023

Background & objectives:

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is known to be the main cause of cervical cancer. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of high-risk HPV genotypes in smear specimens taken from women who had normal or abnormal cytology using a multiplex PCR method.

Methods:

The study included 270 women aged between 19 and 69 yr with or without suspicious cervical abnormalities. A Pap smear sample from each patient was cytologically examined, and HPV typing was performed using a multiplex fluorescent PCR method. Those who were high-risk HPV positive and had a normal or abnormal cytology were further evaluated by colposcopy and biopsy.

Results:

The total HPV positivity was 43 per cent (116/270). HPV positivity in the patients with an abnormal cytology was 77 per cent (33/43), whereas it was only 37 per cent (83/227) in women with normal cytology, which showed a significant difference (P<0.05). HPV positivity was also related to the age group when all the subjects were considered (P<0.05), and the highest prevalence of HPV infection was in the 30-39 yr age group. High-risk HPV types 16, 18, 31, 35, 51 and 56 were more common in the normal cytology patients, whereas high-risk HPV types 16, 31, 35, 45, 58 and 68 were commonly found in the abnormal cytology patients.

Interpretation & conclusions:

The determination of high-risk HPV genotypes in women with clinically suspicious cervical lesions should be conducted during an annual follow-up, irrespective of a normal or abnormal cytology by the age of 30 years or above.

Aim and objectives: The aim of this study was to determine cost of illness and cost of utility in the study population and making recommendations to decrease the economic burden of the treatment by following the life style modifications. Methodology: It is a cross sectional pharmacoepidemiological study. Totally 132 diabetic patients both in-patients and out patients of medical and surgical departments in a secondary level referral hospital were included in this study which was conducted for a period of 6 months. All patients with diabetes type-II, continuing anti diabetic drugs (Metformin, Glibenclamide and Insulin,) for their diabetes management are included and patients who are diagnosed as Diabetic type-I and pregnancy and pediatric patients were excluded. Data was analyzed by Carlson comorbidities Index. Results: A total of 132 diabetic patients were included, in which male and famales were nearly equal in number. Based upon the comorbid conditions, it was found that the most of the subjects (69%) were suffering with diabetes along with hypertension and 9.9% are having comorbidity of hypertension & acute renal failure along with DM and treatment costs more economic burden to the patients. The average utility of drugs is more for the combination of Metformin+Glibenclamide+Insulin than metformin+glibenclamide. Conclusion: Finally we concluded that study place is a rural area and most of people are with poor knowledge and having lack of awareness on both disease and treatment. By applying Charlson Co morbidities index we found the patient’s economic status by which we found that many of the diabetic patients facing economic burden, especially daily wager are feeling much difficulty to face even therapy cost also. In co morbidities side, we noticed 55% of the study population are having diabetes with hypertension. Although all the patients were provided with education regarding their disease and drugs for improving their quality of life, but it has an influence on very few people.

Disposal of Used Fumigant Containers in Zambia
Authors:   University of Zambia, Ziwa Tisah , Mwanaumo Erastus ,   University of Zambia, Nyirenda James ,   University of Zambia
Published: April 2023

Fumigation involves the use of a highly toxic pesticide known as a fumigant, to kill target organisms under airtight conditions. After fumigation, the residual containers left are classified as hazardous wastes. Such wastes enter our environment owing to improper disposal of the containers and poses a huge threat to public health and the environment. This study assessed the methods of disposal of fumigant containers practiced in Zambia and the extent to which fumigators comply with Zambian environmental regulations. Both qualitative and quantitative data collection approaches were used and purposive sampling helped in establishing the fumigant package disposal sites. Data was collected from 15 districts along the line of rail, from Livingstone to Chingola. Participants constituted 25 fumigators and 50 assistants conducting fumigation in the 15 districts. Data from 25 questionnaires distributed to the fumigators was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 alongside Excel 2010. The findings revealed that 68 % always buried the fumigant containers in a 1-meter-deep pit. However, through observations, 17 fumigators from the 15 districts disposed the containers on open surfaces despite being aware of the environmental regulations. On the other hand, the Zambia Environmental Management Agency visited only 48 % of fumigators’ premises. Only 21 % of fumigators were compliant with the law in their disposal methods while the remaining 79 % were non-compliant. Though fumigators were trained before engaging in fumigation activities, they took little useful action for safe disposal of fumigant containers. Findings in this study require immediate enactment laws that will help abolish unsafe disposal of fumigant containers in Zambia. Further, trained fumigators and not their assistants should conduct disposal of fumigant containers. The Zambia Environmental Management Agency should intensify their inspections combined with law enforcement and standard fumigant disposal protocols must be devised and made available to the fumigators.

Male Perspective on Construction of Masculinity: Issues and Challenges in Lahore
Authors: Khan Amna , Malik Raana
Published: April 2023

Masculinity is the dominant gender discourse of masculine behaviour embedded in men’s everyday practices, behaviours, and actions. Since at least the 1980s, these gendered social norms have been argued to create stress, strain, and conflicts for men. Investigating those experiences and circumstances where gender patterns are less or more open to change is an important task of this research. Therefore, this study aims to include men in the “study up” approach of the gender research domain and include their experiences in the conversation of gendered lobbying under patriarchal perceptions. Using the Gender Role Strain paradigm as a guiding framework, the study intends to explore the male perspective on the construction of masculinity in contemporary Pakistani society. A qualitative phenomenological research design has been used, and snowball and purposive sampling techniques are used in conjunction for the recruitment of participants with the help of pre-defined inclusion criteria. The participants of the study are diverse in terms of age, educational background, and family situation. Each participant was interviewed at length using an in-depth interview guide, including topics from the beginning of childhood across the lifespan. The result of the interviews supports the social constructionist perspective of masculinity and also focuses on the strain and challenges of the masculine norms associated with the existing conceptions of masculinity and gender role strain.

Published: April 2023

This study examined how aspiring educators describe technological pedagogical content knowledge, how its components relate to one another, and how far along the competency spectrum elementary school teachers are in their capacity to integrate technology into their classes. The 21st century has unified curricula, cutting-edge technologies, and comprehensive comprehension. To achieve educational excellence and student achievement in a rapidly modernizing society, teachers must learn new instructional methods and technologies. "Technological pedagogical and content knowledge" (TPACK) is a framework of collective and composite knowledge needed by teachers in technology-integrated classrooms. This study assessed pre-service teachers' technology integration knowledge and behaviors. This cross-sectional survey assessed future educators' TPACK and associated expertise. This survey uses questionnaire-based purposeful sampling. Surveys assessed technology, content, instructional techniques, and pedagogy. Each series of questions established a 5-point Likert scale, with 1 representing strongly disagreed and 5 representing strongly agreed. Smart PLS and SPSS analyzed data. Future educators are confident and able to use technology to fulfil student needs, according to the study. All three predictions were proven when all prospective educators surveyed understood TPACK. This shows that they understood the role of technology in each allegory or were confident in combining all three TK, PK, and CK structures. Findings determined implications.

The objective of the research is to evaluate, through empirical methods, the functional relationship between educators and pupils in higher education institutions during the pandemic. The study's relevance determines the problem of two-way communication between teachers and students, negatively affecting education quality. The methodology employed in this study draws upon the valuable insights and practices of leading higher education institutions that have successfully navigated the challenges of the pandemic. Specifically, the University of Oxford serves as the focus of our investigation. To establish a reliable and effective system of communication between teachers and students, we adopt the Business Continuity Planning (BCP) method. According to the findings, distance learning models that effectively address crises and problem situations are the key focus. According to this approach, a scenario of the higher education institution's educational process is developed. It was found that the Business Continuity Planning (BCP) system of Oxford University shows the problematic situation with the organization of communications. The crux of distance education advancement centers on designing training programs using models formulated by the administration of top-tier universities. In this condition, using hybrid, virtual, personal course templates ensure the unification of teaching and learning processes. Moreover, their combination can significantly improve the interaction between students and teachers.

Neste artigo, objetivamos analisar as experiências de estudantes cotistas de graduação indígenas e quilombolas da universidade em estudo. Os sujeitos de pesquisa também são autores e autoras. Dessa maneira, quatro estudantes indígenas e quatro estudantes quilombolas com paridade de gênero participaram de rodas de conversas sobre suas experiências e desafios no Ensino Superior. Foi identificado que os editais específicos de ações afirmativas são importantes formas de acesso. Porém ainda se observa que estudantes e professores da universidade em estudo reproduzem preconceitos e práticas de discriminação contra indígenas e quilombolas. Apesar dessas lógicas, os estudantes cotistas resistem a essas práticas, apontando a importância de ocupar a universidade com suas trajetórias de luta, seus corpos e suas vozes de resistência.
INVESTIGATION OF THE PROPERTIES OF MICROPARTICLES IN THE GLOW DISCHARGE STRATUM IN A CROSSED ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELD
Authors: Abdirakhmanov A. R. , Masheyeva R. U.
Published: April 2023

In this work, the behavior of charged micron-sized particles in the DC glow discharge stratum at low pressure in a crossed magnetic and electric field was experimentally studied. The experiment was conducted in a vertically oriented gas-discharge glass tube. A homogeneous magnetic field was created using a two-section Helmholtz coil. The results showed that the micron-sized dust particles move in the opposite direction to the ExB drift as the magnetic field induction increases. Once the induction reaches a specific threshold (B>10 mT), the dust particles start rotating and forming counter-rotating vortex pairs on the horizontal plane. Moreover, it was observed that the shape of the dust structures changes from a disk to an ellipsoid. The PIV (particle image velocimetry) method was employed to analyze the dust vortices' dynamic behavior, and the generation of the co-vortex rotation was explained through the dust particles' charge gradient, which was orthogonal to the ion drag force.

Cultural policy and immigrants. Why did the integration fail?

In the aftermath of the last millennium a vice minister intended to realise what his predecessors of almost 25 years planned but never accomplished. The cultural expressions of immigrants were supposed to become integrated in the general cultural policy and the subsidized cultural organisations. The article explores why the policies never were formulated and implemented as the various (vice-)ministers explicitly intended.The main reason seems to be the dominance of the romantic universal interpretation of the notion ‘artistic quality’. The mentioned vice minister explicitly challenged this dominance, but didn’t succeed.Subsidies in the cultural sector were and are mainly allocated because of the artistic quality of cultural expressions. The majority of the key actors in this sector such as advisors, cultural institutions, politicians tend to have a romantic universal perspective on quality. These actors seemed to be unwilling or unable to broaden up their conception of quality. Due to this special implementation arrangements were created for the cultural expressions of immigrants. This implied the integration never was accomplished, and over time both cultural institutions and immigrant initiatives seemed relatively content with these arrangements.

Introduction: social networks can harm university students' mental health; therefore, it is urgent to have valid instruments to measure new phenomena such as FoMO.
Objective: this study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOs) in a sample of Chilean university students.
Methods: confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were carried out and estimated using the Weighted Leasts Square Means and Variance (WLSMV).
Results: the FoMOs evaluation had an internal consistency of 0.863 (Cronbach's Alpha). The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed two factors and good indicators: CFI = 0,991, TLI = 0,987, and an RMSEA of 0,054.
Conclusion: the FoMOs is a good instrument for measuring the fear of missing out in the Chilean University population

Published: April 2023

Background: Unilateral spinal anesthesia is often accompanied by technical difficulties in implementation, multiple puncture attempts, unsuccessful punctures, and, as a result, insufficient anesthesia, along with various complications associated with a dural puncture. Objectives: This work compares the efficacy and safety of conventional Unilateral Spinal Anesthesia (USpA) and unilateral spinal anesthesia with electrical nerve stimulation (USpA+ENS). Methods: A total of 134 patients with an upcoming vascular surgery on one lower extremity were randomly assigned to two groups. All the patients were positioned with the operated limb below and used 7.5 mg of Bupivacaine-Spinal®. In the UsPA group, anesthesia was performed according to the standard technique. In the USpA+ENS group, electrical nerve stimulation was additionally used. Primary outcomes were the presence or absence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), number of puncture attempts, lateralization, and anesthesia adequacy. Secondary outcomes were intraoperative pain scores, the presence or absence of nausea and vomiting, and the need for hemodynamics correction. Results: The frequency of puncture complications was sufficiently lower in the USpA+ENS group than in the UsPA group. The local anesthetic solution distribution, pain score indicators, and secondary outcomes were comparable in both groups with a slight difference. Conclusions: We showed that USpA+ENS reduces the incidence of puncture complications and improves the quality of anesthesia and adherence of both patients and anesthesiologists to the unilateral spinal anesthesia technique.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: In our study, we aimed to examine the strains isolated from vaginal swab samples sent to our laboratory from various clinics with a pre-diagnosis of vulvovaginitis and antibiotic resistance rates,  retrospectively.
Methods: ethods: 90 vaginal swab samples of patientswere included into this study. Two samples were taken from each patient and one sample was used for Gram staining. The other sample was inoculated in 5% sheep blood, Eozine Methylene Blue agar and Saboraud dextrose agar. TIdentification of isolated colonies and antibiotic susceptibility studies were carried out with Vitek 2 Compact automated system. Result of the susceptibility testing are reported according to EUCAST criteria. Nugent scoring was used for bacterial vaginosis.
Results: Normal vaginal flora elements were found in 66 (73.3 %) of the specimens, and 28 organisms were found in 24 (26.7 %). The distribution of the organisms is as follows: 6 (21.4%) Escherichia coli, 5(17.9%) Streptococcus agalactiae,  5 (17.9%) Gardnerella vaginalis, 3 (10.7%) Candida spp., 3(10.7%) Klebsiella pneumoniae, 3(10.7%) Enterococcus faecalis. Two of the E.coli strains and one of the K.pneumoniae strains are ESBL positive. Of the agents, 21 were isolated from outpatients and 7 from inpatients.  All S. agalactiae strains were susceptible to penicillin and ampicillin. E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains, which are the most frequently isolated Gram (-) organisms, are most susceptible to amikacin, carbapenems and tigecycline.
Conclusion: In patients with vaginal discharge and itching complaints, determining the organisms with microbiological culture and oriented treatment instead of empirical treatment will be more beneficial for cure.

Objective: to evaluate CANLPH score and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in patients with symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) undergoing percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV).
Methods: 62 patients who underwent PMBV in our clinic between 2018 and 2021 were included retrospectively. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to echo score. The CANLPH score was calculated from the cut-off values of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to hemoglobin ratio (PHR), determined with the Youden index and SII by the formula platelet x neutrophil/lymphocyte. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 44.5±10.4 years (40 female, 64.5%). The mean values of SII and CANLPH scores were higher in the Echo score >8 group (p <0.001, both). The mean mitral gradient before and after PMBV was 12.6±5.7mm Hg and 5.0±2.4 mm Hg, and the mean valve area was 1.12±0.27 cm2 and 1.85±0.29 cm2. A statistically significant and negative correlation was observed between the gradient decrease after the procedure and the CANLPH score and SII (r=-0.426, p=0.001 and r=-0.418, p=0.001, respectively). In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, it was concluded that the ability of CANPLH score to predict the higher Echo scores was noninferior to SII with an area under curve (AUC:0.820 (0.701-0.906) and AUC:0.786 (0.664-0.880), z statistics 0.576 and p=0.564.
Conclusion: SII and CANLPH scores are correlated with Echo score. A significant negative relationship was found with both biomarkers and gradient decrease after the PMBV.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and appropriateness of colistin therapy in patients with hematological malignancies.
Methods: Age, gender, type of hematologic malignancy, and potential carbapenem-resistant microorganism risk factors were all noted in this retrospective study. In empirical and agent-specific treatment groups, differences in demographic features, risk factors, treatment responses, and side effects were compared.
Results: Sixty-three patients were included, 54% were male, and the median age was 49. In the last three months, the hospitalization rate history was 68%, and four patients had a hospitalization history in the ICU. Carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae colonization was present in 22 patients (35%). Gram-negative microorganisms were isolated in 34 patients (54%). The carbapenem, quinolone, and colistin resistance rates were 82%, 76%, and 4% respectively. Clinical and microbiological response rates were 60% and 69%. 7 and 28-day mortality rates were 17% and 35%. There was no significant difference in demographic data and comorbidities in empirical (n=48) and agent-specific (n=15) treatment groups. The rate of carbapenem and glycopeptide treatments before colistin was higher in the empirical treatment group (p = 0.004; p = 0.001). The rate of starting combined antibiotics was higher inthe empirical treatment group (p = 0.016). Two of the patients developed renal failure in the first week after treatment.
Conclusion: The use of empirical colistin may be unavoidable given the risk considerations. Shortly, colistin-resistant strains may also be a factor affecting treatment success negatively.
