BACKGROUND

Information and communication technologies are key to improving health and ensuring a quality, modern, and sustainable health system. They could prove particularly useful in the care of patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and HIV infection. It could also play a role in the prevention of comorbid conditions

OBJECTIVE

To determine the usefulness of an app designed specifically for HIV-infected patients aged 60 years or older by evaluating its usability. To assess changes in patient satisfaction with the app, adherence to treatment, and quality of health care in HIV-infected patients who use the app

METHODS

Randomized clinical trial, including 2 groups: 1) an experimental group comprising patients using the app + routine medical care and 2) a control group. The usability of the app and patient satisfaction were evaluated in the app group at weeks 24 and 48. Quality of life, adherence to treatment, and clinical parameters were compared in both groups at 48 weeks

RESULTS

The study population comprised 100 patients (50 per group). Men accounted for 73%, median age was 65 (IQR, 63-69) years, 46% were men who have sex with men, and the median time with HIV infection was 21 (IQR 16-25) years. We found that 52.2% and 73.8% of patients in the app group used the app at weeks 24 and 48. Patients visited the app on a mean of 23.7 (±2.84) days over the 48 weeks. The total number of sessions was 6,177, and the mean session time was 6 minutes and 51 (±34.72) seconds.The most visualized screens were health counseling and medical records (laboratory results) (24.8% and 22.2%, respectively).
Patients aged 60 to 65 years were the age group that most actively used the app compared with those aged over 65 years (P=.029).
At week 48, 85.2% of patients thought that the app was useful, and 91.4% would recommend the app to friends or relatives. The app was well valued by participants (4.79 [±0.21] out of 5.00), and 64.6% thought that the app improved their health care.
The number of face-to-face visits to the HIV unit during the study was 4.29 (±1.43) for the app group and 5.33 (±1.72) for the control group (P=.03). There were no significant differences in patient quality of life, adherence, or inter- and intragroup clinical parameters.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study shows the low usability of the app in HIV-infected patients, mainly among those aged over 65 years. Patients reported that the main use for the app was to receive health counseling and medical data (laboratory results).
It is therefore necessary to promote knowledge of the app and motivate patients in this age group to use it.

Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND

Mapping out the research landscape around a project is often time consuming and difficult.

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluates a commercial artificial intelligence (AI) search engine (IRIS.AI) for its applicability in an automated literature search on a specific medical topic.

METHODS

To evaluate the AI search engine in a standardized manner, the concept of a science hackathon was applied. Three groups of researchers were tasked with performing a literature search on a clearly defined scientific project. All participants had a high level of expertise for this specific field of research. Two groups were given access to the AI search engine IRIS.AI. All groups were given the same amount of time for their search and were instructed to document their results. Search results were summarized and ranked according to a predetermined scoring system.

RESULTS

The final scoring awarded 49 and 39 points out of 60 to AI groups 1 and 2, respectively, and the control group received 46 points. A total of 20 scientific studies with high relevance were identified, and 5 highly relevant studies (“spot on”) were reported by each group.

CONCLUSIONS

AI technology is a promising approach to facilitate literature searches and the management of medical libraries. In this study, however, the application of AI technology lead to a more focused literature search without a significant improvement in the number of results.

The link between say-on-pay vote and share performance
Authors: Drigo Francesco
Published: October 2019

This paper examines the relation between corporate voting on say-on-pay and variation of stock market pricing. While say-on-pay votes are the expression of shareholder views on company executives’ compensation plan, vote on management remuneration can often be indicative of shareholders’ broader level of satisfaction on governance, strategy, and performance. Further, empirical data indicate that companies that fail the say-on-pay vote are more likely to underperform their market index in the subsequent twelve months. From a theoretical point of view, this paper aims to make a contribution to the topic of the centrality of the say-on-pay and its correlation with company value. From a practical point of view, our findings may be beneficial in contributing to the identification of warning flags both for issuers and investors

Authors: Saviano Marialuisa , Cosimato Silvia , Cucari Nicola , Del Prete Marzia
Published: October 2019

This study is aimed at providing some insights about the Italian listed companies approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) disclosure. A reference framework and a tested investigation model used for analyzing the Italian approach to ESG disclosure have been reported and discussed. Drawing on the Sustainability Helix Model, the results of a study conducted on the Non-Financial Statements of a sample of Italian listed companies on the basis of manual content analysis, and conducted to grasp their disposition and approach to ESG disclosure, are discussed. The study pointed out some specific characteristics of the Italian companies’ approach to ESG disclosure, which still suffer from voluntary and, therefore, somewhat a variety of practices. In this sense, policy and science should better support companies through specific laws and regulations as well as through learning/enhancing projects towards more effective ESG reporting and communication. The analysis offers interesting insights for public institutions, academy and companies on the way to further exploit and supporting ESG disclosure. The originality of this study lies upon the implementation of the Sustainability Helix Model to investigate the importance that open dialogue and shared action of the various actors involved can have in enhancing companies’ awareness about the importance of a strategic approach to sustainability and to its disclosure to gain the consensus of external stakeholders
Multi-family cofounders and firm value
Authors: Lim So-Yeon
Published: October 2019

The paper shows that higher valuation of family firms occurs only for family firms founded by several non-related people (multi-family cofounding firms). The evidence suggests that having at least two unrelated cofounders involved in management reduces agency problems through mutual monitoring. Relative to single-family founding firms, multi-family cofounding firms are more likely to force out founders and less likely to allow descendants to take control after founders retire
The impacts of MiFID II product governance requirements on financial intermediaries and a Blockchain solution to face POG requirements
Authors: Cartei Giulia
Published: October 2019

MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) introduces the requirements on product governance to enhance investor protection, by regulating of all stages of the life-cycle of financial products or services and to ensure that firms, which realize and distribute financial instruments or structured deposits, act in the clients’ best interest. To reach this scope, MiFID II set out several a set of rules about the creation and distribution of called Product Governance requirements (POG), that impose to financial intermediaries to implement a product approval process for each new financial instrument they are going to create or for significant changes to existent products. By implementing the product approval process, MiFID II redesigns the relationship between intermediaries and clients, internalizing this relationship into the intermediaries’ corporate governance processes, because the client’s interest has a central role during all life-cycle of financial instruments, from the creation to distribution of financial products. Clients’ features play a fundamental role since the early stage. In fact, financial products have to be designed to satisfy the target market’s needs and objectively identified for each product. The implementation of a product approval process has a great impact on corporate governance financial intermediaries because it involves a redefinition of function and assignment of the new tasks. The aim of this paper is to underline the main impacts of MiFID II Product Governance requirements on corporate governance of financial institutions and the necessary efforts to make intermediaries compliant to the new regulatory framework. At the same time, this essay wants to provide an insight into future research on a fintech solution, to let intermediaries face POG requirements. Furthermore, the author, with this food for thought about Blockchain, wants to underline the importance for financial service industry, of paying attention to fintech technologies and their several possible applications to win the challenges of new regulatory frameworks, such as MiFID II, and to survive in the new era of digital finance

A right to set-off ousted in all credit agreements regulated by the National Credit Act
Authors: Choma Hlako , Kgarabjang Tshegofatso
Published: October 2019

This article will critically analyse the decision in National Credit Regulator vs. Standard Bank of South Africa Limited in view of the application and interpretation of the principle emanating from audi alteram partem rule. Reference will be made to the common-law principle of set off. The common law practice of set off other than in terms of the National Credit Act fundamentally threatens the socio-economic rights and/or livelihood and dignity of the low-income earners, a distinctly vulnerable group in society. While it is true that the main objective of the National Credit Act is to protect consumers, the interests of creditors must also be safeguarded and should not be overlooked. The South Gauteng High Court granted a declaratory order to the effect that in light of section 90(2)(n) and section 124 of the National Credit Act, 34 of 2005, the common law right of set-off is not applicable in respect of credit agreements which are subject to the National Credit Act. In terms of the principle of audi alteram partem rule, the affected person must be afforded a reasonable chance or opportunity to answer to the charges or allegations against him/her and put forward his/her case. In other words, a party who is affected by the outcomes of the administrative decision should be heard or afforded an opportunity to state his/her version before the decision is taken, particularly an adverse decision is taken against him/her. The banks normally applied the set-off common law principle to the consumers without affording the consumers an opportunity to arrange and agree on the terms of payments to settle the debt
MR-DFM: A multi-path routing algorithm based on data fusion mechanism in sensor networks
Authors: Sun Zeyu , Lv Zhiguo , Hou Yue , Xu Chen , Yan Ben
Published: October 2019

Sensor networks will always suffer from load imbalance, which causes bottlenecks to the communication links. In order to address this problem, a multi-path routing algorithm based on data-fusion-mechanism (MR-DFM) is proposed in this work. In this algorithm, the Mobile Sink controls the clustered energy consumption of the nodes in the event domain according to the delay messages relayed by the neighbor nodes. Meanwhile, the optimal neighbor node in the candidate set is obtained according to the data stream of the neighbor nodes to perform the relay of the data packets. It is shown via simulation results that the proposed MR-DFM algorithm shows obvious improvement according to the energy consumption of the network throughput of the sensing data and the throughput of the sensing data and each hop of the neighbor nodes. Therefore, it is verified that the proposed MR-DFM algorithm shows remarkable data fusion effects and optimizes the network resources.

Authors: Zen Monica , Padmanabhan Suja , Zhang Kewei , Kirby Adrienne , Cheung N. Wah , Lee Vincent W. , Alahakoon Thushari I.
Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE

To determine the correlation between urinary and serum placental growth factor (PlGF) and investigate the predictive value as pregnancy progresses of urinary PlGF compared with serum PlGF, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFLT-1), and the sFLT-1–to–PlGF ratio for the outcome of preeclampsia in women with preexisting diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted of 158 women with preexisting insulin-requiring diabetes (41 with type 1 and 117 with type 2). Urinary PlGF and serum PlGF, sFLT-1, and the sFLT-1–to–PlGF ratio were assessed four times (14, 24, 30, and 36 weeks’ gestation), and the association with the outcome of preeclampsia was investigated.

RESULTS

A correlation between urinary and serum PlGF was demonstrated from 24 weeks’ gestation onward (P < 0.001). At all time points, those who developed preeclampsia had lower serum PlGF levels (P < 0.05), and receiver operating characteristic curves demonstrated that serum PlGF in this cohort performed better than the serum sFLT-1–to–PlGF ratio as a predictive test for preeclampsia. Preconception HbA1c ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol) was an important discriminative predictor for preeclampsia (P = 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS

This study prospectively describes the longitudinal changes in urinary PlGF alongside serum angiogenic markers throughout pregnancy in women with preexisting diabetes. We demonstrate correlation between urinary and serum PlGF and that in women with preexisting diabetes in pregnancy, serum PlGF is a better predictor of preeclampsia than the sFLT-1–to–PlGF ratio.
Markers of Urban Identity
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Antonova Natalia Leonidovna
Published: October 2019

The article presents a sociological analysis of urban identity as a social phenomenon and attempts to label it. Based on the results of an empirical research conducted in Ekaterinburg, which object were stu-dents and working youth aged 18-30 (n = 750), it is claimed that social ties and relationships repro-duced in public places serve a marker of urban iden-tity. The development of public places becomes an important resource for attracting the younger gener-ation and makes such territories more appealing. Significant events attracting the youth and charging them with emotions can also be considered as markers of urban identity. Architectural objects can serve as symbolic markers of urban identity, con-firming the uniqueness of the territory, and the abil-ity to “possess” them becomes a factor defining the desire of the youth to settle down.
Moral Self-Identification and Value Orientations as Determinants of Envy
Authors:   Saratov State University, Usova Natalia Vladimirovna
Published: October 2019

The paper presents the results of an empirical study of the moral value determinants of envy. It is shown that envy is determined by the following features of moral self-identification: 1) a system of paradigms in relation to which an agent must determine his or her attitude; 2) attitude to objects and phenomena of the world and the agent’s existence that determine his or her ability to moral assessment of various events and phenomena; 3) attitude to other people, groups, and society from the point of view of morals, formed by the strategy of behavior in in-teraction with others in various situations. Agents prone to envy are proved to tend to recognize the high importance of morality and ethics for society, to comprehend morality as a manifestation of the strength of a person and responsibility for his or her own moral character and ethical behavior. Egocen-tric value orientations and the moral strategy of reciprocity are the dominant characteristics. It is con-cluded that moral and value properties, qualities, characteristics that are externally set by society but not internalized by an agent may form the feeling of envy.

About Assistance to Development of Reading Competence of Younger School Students in the European Pedagogical Researches
Authors:   Branch of the Southern Federal University in Gelendzhik, Karebina Olga Petrovna , Radchenko Mariya Sergeevna ,   Kuban State University
Published: October 2019

The work deals with the experience of European teachers in promoting the development of students' reading competence. Since the definition of “read-ing competence” first appeared thanks to the activi-ties of the German consortium “Pisa-Studie” (PISA), which studies the achievements of students in dif-ferent countries of the world, the models of reading competence offered by German scientists are stud-ied first of all. Considering the Anglo-Saxon struc-ture of reading competency in more detail, the au-thors authors focus on teaching reading strategies that the child comprehends only in collaboration with adults. It is the process of cooperation between children and adults that forms the basis for promot-ing reading competency by teachers, parents and the student himself. In order to practice the system-atic promotion of reading competence in our teach-ing practice, they study its German three-level model (with procedural, subjective and social levels). The consistency of the three levels is a sign of active learning, in which six fields of activity are revealed that contribute to improve reading competency. The study leads to the conclusion that the promotion of reading and reading competence should be clearly organized, as it is an interconnected and step-by-step process that requires targeted coordination, communication and cooperation of teachers, educa-tional structures and school partners.
Customer Focus as a Condition of Daily Social Work with the Elderly
Authors:   Department Institute of Further Professional Training of Social Workers, Vdovina Margarita Vladimirovna
Published: October 2019

The questions connected with the organization of social work with elderly people are actual in the conditions of steady aging of the population of Russia. The research work focuses on the client-oriented social work, one of the important features of which is ‘immersion’ in the life world of elderly clients, understanding their goals, problems, inter-ests, aspirations, views on society, their place and role in it. The daily life of elderly recipients of social services is presented in the article in the assess-ments of experts – managers, specialists and social workers of state social service organizations. The obtained empirical data are interpreted in the con-text of theories of social interaction and phenome-nological sociology. It is revealed that an important role in the daily life of modern elderly people is played by relatives, whose moral and material sup-port is of great importance in solving life problems. However, many recipients of social services are deprived of such support, so they need help of so-cial service organizations, especially in household, social and medical support. The desire to maintain health, general mood, and the desire to communicate greatly motivate older people to feasible activi-ty. Access to quality information on social change and the rights of older persons in the imple-mentation of social protection measures is also im-portant for older citizens. The concentration of spe-cialists' attention on these and other aspects of the life of elderly recipients of social services allows to increase the customer focus of everyday social work, which is especially important in the context of the development of the social services market.

Published: October 2019

The paper focuses on the problem of suicide as an important societal problem primarily determined by social factors. The problem is uncovered with help of statistical data collected globally, in whole Russia and in its separate regions. The paper provides in-formation on existing forms of work with manifesta-tions of the problem of suicide including its mani-festations among youth. The multiagency character of suicidological service for the public is empha-sized. The weaknesses of suicide prevention system in Russia are identified. It is concluded that it is nec-essary to further develop social programs and ways for prevention of the problem of suicide. Accord-ing to the authors, the main directions of preventive measures should be early detection of suicidal risk groups, prevention of alcohol and drug abuse among population, organization of a complete set of suicidologic service offices in each region of the country. Informational availability of preventive sui-cidal aid is named the crucial condition for effective response to the problem.

A Case Study of Forecasting Elections Results: Beyond Prediction based on Business Intelligence
Authors: Lorenzo Sánchez Antonio , Olivas Jose Angel
Published: October 2019

In the field of data analysis, it is common not to distinguish clearly between prediction and forecast. Although the results of both processes may tend to converge, the mechanisms used in each case tend to be completely different. Prediction has to do with statistical extrapolation and estimation and forecasting can consider expert judgments on the subject. A methodology is proposed to carry out this latter task, with a mechanism that uses both historical and current data with the judgement of an expert. The methodology is applied to the case study of the Spanish general elections of April 2019.

Background

Radiologic findings after electrochemotherapy of large hepatic blood vessels and healthy hepatic parenchyma have not yet been described.

Materials and methods

We performed a prospective animal model study with regulatory approval, including nine grower pigs. In each animal, four ultrasound-guided electroporated regions were created; in three regions, electrodes were inserted into the lumen of large hepatic vessels. Two types of electrodes were tested; variable linear- and fixed hexagonal-geometry electrodes. Ultrasonographic examinations were performed immediately and up to 20 minutes after the procedure. Dynamic computed tomography was performed before and at 60 to 90 minutes and one week after the procedure.

Results

Radiologic examinations of the treated areas showed intact vessel walls and patency; no hemorrhage or thrombi were noted. Ultrasonographic findings were dynamic and evolved from hyperechogenic microbubbles along electrode tracks to hypoechogenicity of treated parenchyma, diffusion of hyperechogenic microbubbles, and hypoechogenicity fading. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound showed decreased perfusion of the treated area. Dynamic computed tomography at 60 to 90 minutes after the procedure showed hypoenhancing areas. The total hypoenhancing area was smaller after treatment with fixed hexagonal electrodes than after treatment with variable linear geometry electrodes.

Conclusions

Radiologic findings of porcine liver after electrochemotherapy with bleomycin did not show clinically significant damage to the liver, even if a hazardous treatment strategy, such as large vessel intraluminal electrode insertion, was employed, and thus further support safety and clinical use of electrochemotherapy for treatment of hepatic neoplasia.

Indonesia has many ethnics, races, languages, and cultures which have been passed from our ancestors, one of which is Kawi language. Kawi language is one of the languages which used in Javanese Hindu-Buddha Kingdoms. It was used in many literatures. At this time, only a few people understand Kawi language, particularly in Bali, so a preservation action must be done. Technology became a media to preserve and enhance understanding of Kawi language. Natural Language Processing like e-translator is the one that can be used to achieve the cultural preservation. E-translator application is a tool for translating one language to another. It translates Kawi to Balinese language word by word. Stemming methods used in this application are Bobby Nazief and Mima Adriani Algorithm, perfected by Kawi wording regulation. Translated results from Kawi to Balinese language can be in a form of a word, sentence, or paragraph. Quality measurement of the translation system has an accuracy of 82,27%. Hopefully, this application can be one of the media to preserve Kawi language in Bali and Indonesia.

Published: October 2019

The design of balancing the load current on three-phase systems using a microcontroller ATMega 2560 is a tool that serves to reduce the power loss. Power loss due to the load current unbalance the current flows in the neutral phase on three-phase systems. Current flows in the neutral phase distribution transformer into a detriment to PT. PLN (Persero) for the power lost to the earth and can not be used by consumers. So that it will balanced the load current to reduce the value of neutral current. The tool is also equipped with a monitoring system that displays current magnitude of each phase including the neutral phase.The methods in making this tool is divided into two parts: first, the design of hardware consist of designing electronic components which are used by the current sensor circuits, relay, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) etc. Second, the design of software is a tool listing program procedure including the monitoring program displays the current of each phase on LCD using the Arduino IDE. SCT013-030 current sensor used, the output of the current sensor is connected to the pin ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) microcontroller ATMega 2560. Then microcontroller process the data and generate a current value displayed on the LCD. The other result of processing current value is a command to enable or disable the relay that connects three-phase resource with single-phase loads.The result of the test design of balancing load current on three-phase system using a microcontroller ATMega 2560 succeed balancing the load current by moving the channel load of sequence number load the smallest connected to the phase with the current biggest load toward a phase that has a load current smallest when neutral current exceeds the limit is permitted. In this situation, the neutral current will not be possible be zero. In fact, the maximum current value for the neutral phase for PT. PLN (Persero) 50 amperes calibrated to 1 ampere and is used as a limit on this prototype. If the neutral current on LCD monitor exceeds 1 ampere, then there will be balancing of the load current. The current sensor measurement results are displayed on a monitoring approach measurement result using pliers ampere.

La esquizofrenia es un trastorno psiquiátrico que presenta según el DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)(1), síntomas característicos como ideas delirantes, alucinaciones, lenguaje desorganizado (por ejemplo, descarrilamiento frecuente o incoherencia), comportamiento catatónico o gravemente desorganizado, síntomas negativos, (por ejemplo, aplanamiento afectivo, alogia o abulia), que afecta principalmente a personas en edad productiva, con alto impacto en la calidad de vida del paciente y en su entorno familiar y social. En este estudio se describe el comportamiento de los factores farmacológicos y no farmacológicos que alteran la adherencia al tratamiento, de 85 pacientes con esquizofrenia, dados de alta de la Unidad de Salud Mental (USM), del Hospital Hernando Moncaleano Perdomo de Neiva (HUHMP), mediante revisión de la historia clínica y la entrevista telefónica del acudiente, familiar o del mismo paciente. La mayoría de los pacientes encuestados son adultos jóvenes, de género masculino, solteros, procedentes del departamento del Huila, con baja escolaridad, sin vinculo laboral en el momento del estudio. Se encontró un nivel bajo de adherencia al tratamiento, el cual es directamente proporcional al grado de introspección del paciente, al apoyo familiar y/o social, a la prescripción de antipsicóticos atípicos, a la buena relación médico-paciente e inversamente proporcional al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas, a la prescripción de medicamentos típicos, y a la presencia de reacciones adversas. El conocer estos comportamientos, es un precedente para futuras investigaciones y además es punto de partida para crear estrategias que permitan mejorar la tasa de adherencia al tratamiento por parte de los pacientes esquizofrénicos, desde un punto de vista integral e individualizado a la vez.
