The role of a well-established food retail firm in Greek economy in the era of economic crisis
Authors: Zisoudis Nikolaos , Zafeiriou Eleni , Garefalakis Alexandros , Passas Ioannis , Ragazou Konstantina
Published: October 2022

The economic crisis in Greece has provoked a number of financial problems in Greek firms in all sectors. High tax rates, low payments and in sequence low demand for goods and services are a few of the problems confronted by firms and consumers. Within the framework of the Memorandum, a number of different corporate efforts have become a cornerstone of economic recovery. An effective and critical factor for venture success has validated the networking along with entrepreneurial competencies (Kyrgidou Mylonas, Petridou, & Vacharoglou, 2021). The present work makes an effort with the assistance of visual tools and descriptive statistics to unveil the role of a retail market firm in the developing economy of Greece. Using an analytical presentation of financial and innovation initiatives in the retail market store chain of Masoutis and based on our findings we confirm a positive contribution to the country’s economic growth in a disproportionate rate to the country’s economic performance. The specific effect is attributed to the growth rates in employment, productivity and sales. Our findings are in line with Kyrgidou et al. (2021) since we implicitly confirm that well-organized initiatives concerning networking coupled with good marketing practices provide opportunities to firms for expansion, and efforts of this type may add value to the sector and the total economy opening the way to recovery from the economic crisis.
Reputación Organizacional y Competitividad en las organizaciones adheridas a Pacto Global Colombia – Capítulo Risaralda
Authors: Arias Pineda Andrés Alberto , Calderón Almanza Christian Octavio , Losa Agudelo Mariana , Ramírez Martínez Leonardo , Aguirre Trujillo Gerson Alexander
Published: October 2022

Los escenarios económicos actuales conllevan a que las organizaciones desplieguen nuevas capacidades asociadas a la responsabilidad social en cada uno de sus ciclos y eslabones de producción. En dicho escenario la competitividad de una organización se conecta con la reputación que tenga o que haya creado con sus grupos de interés, como un efecto esperado. De acuerdo con lo anterior, el objetivo del proyecto que da origen a este libro busca comprender las relaciones entre Reputación Organizacional y Competitividad Empresarial en las organizaciones adheridas a Pacto Global en Risaralda. La proposición que emerge del ejercicio de construcción del estado del arte plantea que la estrategia de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial y de Creación de Valor Compartido tiene injerencia positiva en el desempeño de la organización y genera un beneficio mutuo para los negocios y la sociedad, reflejándose principalmente en su reputación e imagen. La evidencia empírica corroboró esta afirmación y agrega argumentos para que otras organizaciones sigan este modelo de relacionamiento positivo con sus grupos de interés y en esa medida, favorezcan sus posibilidades de supervivencia.
Bleomycin Overdose in a Patient with Stage II Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Case Report of a Medication Error
Authors: Zhang Jieting , Xue Shuyi , Chen Xiaolin , Yang Hai
Published: October 2022

Bleomycin is an antibiotic with cytotoxic properties, commonly used in
combination regimens for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma. The
inconsistency in dosage nomenclature of bleomycin seems to be universal
in many countries, which increases the risk of medication error.
However, as far as we know no cases have reported. Here we present a
case report of a medication error caused by bleomycin overdose. A
25-year-old patient with Stage II Hodgkin Lymphoma received a 150 USP
bleomycin, which dosage was ten times higher than usually used, as part
of the doxorubicin, bleomycin, vindesine, dacarbazine protocol (ABVD) at
the third cycles of chemotherapy. After the medication error was found,
the patient was immediately treated with intravenous rehydration and
furosemide to promote clearance of drugs. To prevent lung injury, the
methylprednisone and acetylcysteine was given. The patient developed a
slight nausea and a mild rash, which gradually improved after the
treatment. After the evaluation with PET-CT, the patient received four
cycles of AVD chemotherapy. During the treatment and one-year follow-up
period, no other obvious abnormalities were observed. The toxicities,
clinical managements and selection of further chemotherapy after
bleomycin overdose deserved serious attention in this case. More
importantly, the management measures after this error can be used for
reference in other hospitals.
Title: Current options in the management of tree nut allergy, focusing on, but not limited to immunotherapy: A systematic review.

Published: October 2022

This systematic review evaluates the potential therapeutic options for
desensitization of patients with IgE-mediated tree nut allergy,
focusing, but not limited to, on immunotherapy. We searched three
bibliographic databases for studies published until July 2022 for active
treatments of IgE-mediated allergy to tree nuts (walnut, hazelnut,
pistachio, cashew, and almond) with allergen-specific immunotherapy
(AIT) using oral (OIT), sublingual (SLIT), epicutaneous (EPIT) or
subcutaneous (SCIT) delivery, or with other disease-modifying
treatments. We included 26 studies, but the heterogeneity of the studies
prevented pooling and meta-analysis. Immunotherapy with hazel pollen
extracts might benefit patients with a secondary nut allergy due to
cross-reactivity with PR-10 or profilin panallergens but is unlikely to
be beneficial in patients with a severe nut allergy caused by seed
storage proteins. Sublingual immunotherapy has a moderate efficacy but a
favorable safety profile. Oral immunotherapy (OIT), single, or
multi-nut, with or without omalizumab, is the most studied approach. In
general, tree nut OIT is effective in conferring protection from
accidental exposures, with safety similar to that demonstrated by peanut
OIT. The observed cross-desensitization between tree nuts straightly
affects the management options for multi-nut allergic patients.
Association between Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, Gastroesophageal Reflux and Recalcitrant Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Systematic Review.
Authors: Lechien Jerome , Saussez Sven , Hopkins Claire
Published: October 2022

Objective: To investigate the association between laryngopharyngeal
reflux (LPR), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and recalcitrant
chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Data sources: PubMed, Cochrane Library,
and Scopus. Review methods: Three investigators search database for
studies investigating the relationship between LPR, GERD and
recalcitrant CRS with or without polyposis. The following outcomes were
investigated with PRISMA criteria: age; gender; reflux and CRS
diagnosis; association outcomes and potential treatment outcomes.
Authors performed a bias analysis of papers and provided recommendations
for future studies. Results: A total of 17 studies investigated the
association between reflux and recalcitrant CRS. According to pharyngeal
pH monitoring, 54% of patients with recalcitrant CRS reported hypo or
nasopharyngeal acid reflux events. The numbers of hypo- and
nasopharyngeal acid reflux events were significantly higher in patients
compared to healthy individuals in 4 and 2 studies, respectively. Only
one report did not find group differences. The proportion of GERD was
significantly higher in CRS patients compared to controls, with a
prevalence ranging from 32% to 91% of cases. No author considered
nonacid reflux events. There was an important heterogeneity in the
inclusion criteria; definition of reflux and association outcomes,
limiting the draw of clear conclusion. Pepsin was found in sinonasal
secretions more frequently in CRS patients than controls. Conclusion:
Laryngopharyngeal reflux and GERD may be a contributing factors of CRS
therapeutic resistance, but future studies are still needed to confirm
the association considering nonacid reflux event.
APPLICATION OF THE LEAST SQUARES METHOD IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF DIAGRAMS STRESS X NUMBER OF CYCLES AND STRAIN X NUMBER OF CYCLES
Authors: Almeida Julio Cézar de , Neto João Morais da Silva
Published: October 2022

This article contemplates the construction of diagrams: stress x number
of cycles and strain x number of cycles from the least squares method,
which can be used when you have a set of data and you want to fit a
mathematical function to them, so that the final result is as
representative as possible. The referred diagrams result from the
accomplishment of fatigue tests, which consist of applying cyclic loads
or deformations, generally of a sinusoidal nature, in standardized
specimens in order to determine the life or fatigue resistance of a
given material. A fatigue test requires the following information: part
geometry, type of applied load and material properties. With this
information and an adequate methodology, it becomes possible to obtain
the life expectancy or durability of the component. At the end, a
simplified code developed in Matlab is also available, which allows
performing all the partial calculations involved, as well as providing
the desired equation.
Reinforcing Renewable Resources for Sustainable Future of Bangladesh
Authors: Hossain Shah Mohazzem , Biswas Sagor , Uddin Md Raihan
Published: October 2022

The wheel of any country’s advancement reflects its industrial
development, which is mainly dependent on electricity generation. Due to
the scarcity of natural resources and increasing fuel rates, developing
countries like Bangladesh struggle to optimize the cost of electricity
generation. Therefore, enhancing alternative energy resources like
solar, wind, etc., to a more significant extent is a prerequisite to
ensure sustainable energy development in the near future due to their
low generation cost and wide availability. This paper illustrates the
current statistics of natural resources like gas, coal, etc., used for
electricity generation. It also exhibits that extreme dependency on
gas-based plants forces current unstable electricity conditions and
proposes to popularize the less-focused renewable sources to mitigate
the current energy crisis.
PD-1/PD-L1 based immunochemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis focus on PD-L1 expression level
Authors: Jin Zixian , Wang Jiping , Sun Jiajing , Zhu Chengchu , Zhang Jian , Zhang Bo
Published: October 2022

Objective: Immunochemotherapy has become a new treatment for advanced
esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We aimed to study the
clinical efficacy and toxicity of immunochemotherapy based on PD-1/PD-L1
compared with chemotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced ESCC,
focusing on analyzing the influence of PD-L1 expression level. Methods:
Randomized controlled trials comparing PD-1/PD-L1 based
immunochemotherapy wirh chemotherapy alone for advanced ESCC were
included. We extracted efficacy data [objective response rate (ORR),
disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS) rate, progression-free
survival (PFS) rate] and safety data (treatment-related adverse
events, treatment-related mortality) and performed meta-analyses.
Results: 5 articles were included. Compared with chemotherapy alone, the
ORR and DCR of immunochemotherapy increased by 2.05 times and 1.54
times, respectively. Overall, patients receiving immunochemotherapy had
a significant long-term survival advantage [OS: hazard ratio
(HR)=0.68, 95% hazard ratio (CI) 0.61-0.75; PFS: HR=0.62, 95%CI 0.55,
0.70, respectively]. Even with PD-L1 tumor proportion score
<1%, immunochemotherapy also showed a significant survival
advantage [OS: HR=0.65, 95%CI 0.46-0.93; PFS: HR=0.56, 95%CI
0.46-0.69, respectively]. However, for PD-L1 combined positive score
(CPS)<1, the survival advantage of immunochemotherapy was not
significant [OS: HR=0.89, 95%CI 0.42-1.90; PFS: HR=0.71, 95%CI
0.47-1.08, respectively]. The toxicity of immunochemotherapy was
higher than that of chemotherapy alone, but there was no statistical
difference in treatment-related mortality (odds ratio=1.11, 95%CI
0.67-1.83). Conclusions: In this study, PD-1/PD-L1 based
immunochemotherapy significantly could improve survival outcomes in
patients with advanced ESCC. For patients with CPS<1, the
survival advantage of immunochemotherapy was not significant. The
toxicity of immunochemotherapy was acceptable.
Transient stability versus damping of electromechanical oscillations in power systems with embedded multi-terminal VSC-HVDC systems
Authors: Renedo Javier , Rouco Luis , Garcia-Cerrada Aurelio , Sigrist Lukas
Published: October 2022

Multi-terminal high-voltage direct current technology based on
voltage-source converter stations (VSC-MTDC) is expected to be one of
the most important contributors to the future of electric power systems.
In fact, among other features, it has already been shown how this
technology can contribute to improve transient stability in power
systems by the use of supplementary controllers. Along this line, this
paper will investigate in detail how these supplementary controllers
affect electromechanical oscillations, by means of small-signal
stability analysis. The paper analyses two control strategies based on
the modulation of active-power injections (P-WAF) and reactive-power
injections (Q-WAF) in the VSC stations which were presened in previous
work. Both control strategies use global signals of the frequencies of
the VSC-MTDC system and they presented significant improvements on
transient stability. The paper will provide guidelines for the design of
these type of controllers to improve both, large- and small-disturbance
angle stability. Small-signal stability analysis (in Matlab) has been
compared with non-linear time domain simulation (in PSS/E) to confirm
the results using CIGRE Nordic32A benchmark test system with a VSC-MTDC
system. The paper analyses the impact of the controller gains and
communication latency on electromechanical-oscillation damping. The main
conclusion of the paper is that transient-stability-tailored
supplementary controllers in VSC-MTDC systems can be tuned to damp
inter-area oscillations too, maintaining their effectiveness.
Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of TiB/Ti6Al4V composites based on selective laser melting
Authors: Huang X. , Zhu Y.-T. , Huang W.-D. , Qin S.-S. , Wang L.
Published: October 2022

In this paper, Ti6Al4V+3 wt.% TiB2 composite powder was used as a raw material to synthesize TiB whiskers in situ and prepare composites reinforced with TiB/Ti6Al4V whiskers by selective laser melting (SLM). The effects of process parameters on the properties of TiB/Ti6Al4V samples were systematically studied. The evolution of the microstructure, including the formation and regulation of whiskers, and the effects on mechanical properties were discussed. The results showed that during the SLM process, adjusting the energy density effectively inhibited cracking in the TiB/Ti6Al4V samples. The TiB2 particles acted as nucleation centers to significantly refine the grains during processing and reacted with elemental Ti to form a needle-like TiB network at the grain boundaries, which strengthened the whiskers. Additionally, TiB played a role in dispersion strengthening. Compared with Ti6Al4V, the microhardness of TiB/Ti6Al4V was 430.6?11.45 HV, an increase of 27.9%, and the wear volume of the sample was 0.85?10-3 mm3, a decrease of 62.64%.
Cyprinid fish farms in Vojvodina (North Serbia): Two decades of changes
Authors: Urosevic Miroslav , Grabic Jasna , Ponjiger Igor , Kendjel Mihael , Abramowicz Beata , Ivkovic Masa
Published: October 2022

Fish farming in Serbia takes place in cyprinid (carp) and salmonid (trout) fish farms that together account for over 95% of the total fish produced. Cyprinids are grown in warm water fish farms, and cold water farms are designed for trout. The great majority (97%) of cyprinid fish farms are located in Vojvodina, Serbia?s northern province. This paper examines how the traditional carp sector was developed during the recent 20- year period in Vojvodina, paying particular attention to the comparison of the number and condition of cyprinid fish farms in that interval according to the available sources. The comparison was made by comparing maps with data on fishponds from 1999 and 2021, and according to the data from the Statistical Office of Serbia. After the analysis of many data from other authors and our study, it is evident that there is a lot of room for improving the production of cyprinid fish in Vojvodina. This is especially because we noticed decreasing trends for two major parameters: the area of fishpond water surfaces in Serbia (from 7,190 ha to 6,299 ha), and the number of ponds in Vojvodina (from 72 to 60), from 1999 to 2021, respectively. On the contrary, the amount of fish produced has increased from 2,409 t in 2002 to 4,761 t in 2021. According to government planning documents, Serbia lacks a national strategy for development of aquaculture production in general, and especially of cyprinid fish species.

Objective: To explore machine learning models for predicting return to work after cardiac rehabilitation.Subjects: Patients who were admitted to the University of Malaya Medical Centre due to cardiac events.Methods: Eight different machine learning models were evaluated. The models included 3 different sets of features: full features; significant features from multiple logistic regression; and features selected from recursive feature extraction technique. The performance of the prediction models with each set of features was compared.Results: The AdaBoost model with the top 20 features obtained the highest performance score of 92.4% (area under the curve; AUC) compared with other prediction models.Conclusion: The findings showed the potential of using machine learning models to predict return to work after cardiac rehabilitation.
LAY ABSTRACTCardiac rehabilitation has proven beneficial effects for cardiac patients; it lowers patients’ risk of cardiac death and improves their health-related quality of life. Returning to work is one of the important goals of cardiac rehabilitation, as it prevents early retirement, and encourages social and financial sustainability. A few studies have focussed on predicting return to work among cardiac rehabilitation patients; however, these studies have only used statistical techniques in their prediction. This study showed the potential of using machine learning models to predict return to work after cardiac rehabilitation.
Elephants in the Archive
Authors: Eriksen Helen
Published: October 2022

This chapter is an attempt to show how racialised meaning is produced through art practice. It is founded on the following paradox: How can we reconcile ourselves with the fact that racism exists in society when the majority of Norwegians will publicly denounce it? I examine how prevailing art teaching practices are influenced by racial understandings of the self and the Other. Inspired by post-colonial theory, I interrogate experiences in my own White artist-educator practice to uncover power differences and acts of racial dominance. I examine the events of a visual art workshop through two central concepts, White innocence (Wekker, 2016) and the cultural archive (Said, 1993; Wekker, 2016), and consider the operationalisation of structural racial bias through digital technologies and contextualising spatial understanding of art practice.

This is an experimental text that aims to engage the viewer with their emotional embodied understanding of racial positioning as much as academic discourse. I employ the figure of the elephant as a narrative device to disturb reading patterns. The clumsy elephant is a disruptive element in the text, weaving together two distinct forms: the literary and fictive narrative, and the academic discourse. I conclude with the idea of decolonial aesthesis (Vázquez, 2020) as a tool to challenge the dominant aesthetic understanding of art practice as an individual form of expression. Thus, decolonisation or undoing erasure of otherised knowledges and experience is deemed a vital process imperative for students’ well-being, as well as that of teacher educators and student teachers wishing to teach in a pluralistic society. I ask the reader to resonate with the unfolding of “White” gaps in a subjective understanding of the self and give discursive room for addressing the complexities of race through understanding how Whiteness works as a complex phenomenon within Norwegian art education.
Materiell-kollektiv praksis som pedagogisk tilnærming for kunst og håndverk
Authors: Klungland Monica
Published: October 2022

This chapter presents key characteristics of material-collective practice as a pedagogical approach, and the potential this approach can have for art education. It challenges the Norwegian individually centered education policy with its predefined and measurable competencies (KHV01-02). The proposed pedagogical approach is derived from key findings in the recently published PhD dissertation Material-Collective Practice – A Pedagogical Approach for Arts and Crafts Education developed through the weaving project “Weaving through open doorways” (2021). This empirical study consisted of micro ethnographic fieldwork during an outdoor weaving project with twenty-two seventh-grade students and their teaching staff. Material-collective practice as a pedagogical approach is inspired by contemporary collective art practice and is characterized by the fact that (1) the teacher’s professional knowledge and teaching are of great importance, (2) the creative process with unforeseen and unplanned events are emphasized, (3) creative work takes place with materials, and space, time and movement are highlighted as tools, (4) and the original and personal are not linked to the characteristics of an object, but rather to the traces set in the creative practice. The relevance is directed at the curriculum’s three interdisciplinary themes: public health and life skills, democracy and citizenship, and sustainable development.

Authors: Nakano Carlos Augusto , Santos Isabel Cristina dos , Brito Bárbara Alessandra Vieira de , Szmuszkowicz Marcelo , Pereira Raquel da Silva
Published: October 2022

A literatura clássica correlaciona o poder da inovação e do empreendedorismo como habilitadores do desenvolvimento econômico das localidades. Com o intuito de examinar o predomínio de tais relações, este artigo tem como objetivo explorar o fenômeno de desenvolvimento das cidades brasileiras consideradas as mais inovadoras e empreendedoras, visando identificar as implicações do estímulo ao empreendedorismo tecnológico no desenvolvimento socioeconômico dessas cidades. No levantamento bibliométrico inicial sobre os temas debatidos em cidades brasileiras não foram identificados trabalhos científicos que explorassem os três constructos simultaneamente, e estabelecesse comparações que pudesse indicar algum tipo de relação entre eles. Compreendida como uma lacuna original, essa ausência inspirou a elaboração do presente artigo. Para tanto, adotou-se uma abordagem mista e pesquisa do tipo exploratório-descritivo, comparando o Ranking das Cidades Mais Inovadoras; Índice das Cidades Mais Empreendedoras, Índice FIRJAN de Desenvolvimento Municipal, Desenvolvimento Humano e Coeficiente de Gini. Foram examinadas as cidades com posição destacada em um dos índices analisados. A revisão teórica permitiu a formulação de quatro hipóteses que foram testadas e cotejadas com os índices adotados. Os resultados indicam que os municípios mais inovadores e empreendedores possuem alto Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano, destacando-se a dimensão Educação, reforçando a formação de recursos humanos é ativo relevante no contexto de inovação e empreendedorismo. Porém, a relação entre inovação e empreendedorismo com o desenvolvimento econômico não confirmada, pois as cidades de maior desenvolvimento econômico não constaram do ranking de cidade mais inovadoras e do índice das mais empreendedoras, podendo ser este objeto para estudos futuros.
Análise dos potenciais impactos sociais e ambientais da implantação do emissário terrestre e submarino do COMPERJ na APA de Maricá e entorno
Authors: Sad Juana
Published: October 2022

A implantação de empreendimentos de grande porte e os impactos causados por eles afetam, direta e indiretamente, o meio ambiente e a população do entorno e vêm sendo discutidos a fim de minimizar seus efeitos negativos. No caso do Rio de Janeiro, a implantação do Complexo Petroquímico do Estado do Rio de Janeiro impactou não somente o município de Itaboraí, mas também os municípios limítrofes, onde foram implantadas estruturas para atender esse megaempreendimento. Dentre essas, há o Emissário Terrestre e Submarino que levará o efluente industrial do COMPERJ até a praia de Itaipuaçu no município de Maricá. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os potenciais impactos sociais e ambientais decorrentes da implantação do Emissário Terrestre sobre a APA de Maricá/RJ e seu entorno, identificando as comunidades afetadas, e sua percepção. Foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa usando questionários e posteriormente elaborada uma matriz de interação. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o planejamento do uso e ocupação da região, visando ao desenvolvimento, acarreta prejuízos as potencialidades naturais em consequência da implantação do Emissário, além de causarem conflitos socioambientais na região. Nessa dinâmica conflituosa, o grupo social mais atingido seria o dos pescadores artesanais da praia de Itaipuaçu, em razão da sua dependência intrínseca em relação ao ambiente natural.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the success and reliability of QF-PCR analysis in detecting chromosomal abnormalities and to determine its advantages and limitations. Methods: Patients who underwent karyotype and QF-PCR analysis as a prenatal invasive diagnostic test in a tertiary center were retrospectively analyzed. Invasive genetic test indications, ultrasonographic fetal screening reports, karyotype and QF-PCR analysis results of the patients were obtained from the electronic data system. Karyotypes were classified as normal, common aneuploidies (trisomies 21, 18, 13, and sex chromosome aneuploidies) and other aneuploidies. QF-PCR analysis and karyotype results were compared for inconsistency. Results: A total of 426 cases (41 [9.6%] chorionic villus sampling, 339 [79.6%] amniocentesis and 46 [10.8%] cordocentesis) were included in the study. The most common indication for prenatal invasive diagnostic testing was fetal structural anomalies (36.7%). Aneuploidy was detected in 61 (14.3%) of the fetuses. Fifty-nine (96.7%) of 61 fetuses with aneuploidy were common aneuploidies. The sensitivity and specificity of the QF-PCR analysis in detecting common aneuploidies was 100%. QF-PCR analysis was indicative if not diagnostic in all fetuses with mosaic trisomy or sex chromosome aneuploidies. Conclusion: QF-PCR analysis is a rapid, robust, and reliable test for the prenatal detection of common aneuploidies. Although QF-PCR analysis has high sensitivity and specificity in detecting common aneuploidies, it should be used for rapid preliminary information and the result of karyotype analysis should be awaited for important clinical decisions.

Objective: Maternal diabetes mellitus has a significant impact on the neonatal outcome. Birth weight is related to the degree of glycemic control. Poor glycemic control in the mother causes somatic overgrowth and results in macrosomia. Maternal obesity is an independent risk factor for macrosomia. The study objective was to evaluate the correlation between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level in diabetic mothers and macrosomia in their neonates. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was done on diabetic mothers and their neonates. Maternal body mass index, weight gain, duration of diabetes and type of treatment were recorded. Maternal HbA1c levels were measured within one hour of delivery and birth order, mode of delivery, gestational age and birth weight were recorded. The discrete variables were analyzed by chi-square test and continuous variables by independent t-test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine the optimum cut-off for predicting macrosomia with HbA1c. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 228 diabetic mothers and their neonates were studied and 18 neonates were macrosomic. Diabetes was pregestational in 56.6% of mothers and gestational in 43.4% of mothers. There was a significant difference in BMI, weight gain, and HbA1c in mothers of macrosomic and non-macrosomic neonates. There was no significant difference in mean values of maternal age, duration of diabetes and gestational age in the two groups. Conclusion: This study suggests that diabetic women with elevated HbA1c>5.6% measured after delivery were likely to have macrosomic neonates.

Published: October 2022

Objective: We aimed to analyze the pregnancy outcomes of cases that were diagnosed prenatally with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and to investigate its prenatal diagnosis, treatment conditions, and postnatal outcomes. Methods: The clinical information data of a total of 149 fetuses diagnosed with TOF (145 cases were singleton and 4 cases were twins) were collected and reviewed retrospectively between January 2016 and January 2022 at İstanbul Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital. Results: Among completely 61,034 pregnancies between these years, 149 fetuses were diagnosed with TOF by fetal prenatal ultrasound imaging with the occurrence rate of about 0.24% (149/61,034), and the average gestational age was 26.13 weeks. Among these cases, 22 cases (14.76%, 22/149) opted for termination of pregnancy. Of these 149 fetuses, a total of 60 (46.30%, 60/149) accepted genetic testing and 11 (7.38%, 11/149) revealed chromosomal disorders with trisomy 21 in 5 cases, trisomy 18 in 1 case, 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome in 4 cases and abnormality of the short arm of 8th chromosome in 1 case. After delivery, 4 cases were diagnosed with trisomy 21. Pregnancy was continued in a total of 127 fetuses, of which 114 cases resulted in delivery. While 36 cases were delivered by cesarean section, the other 78 cases were delivered vaginally. Thirteen fetuses died during the pregnancy period. Newborns who survived the postpartum period were followed up to 5 years of age for surgery. Among 114 cases, 28 cases died during the postnatal period at different times. Conclusion: The diagnosis of TOF is mainly established with the help of fetal ultrasound in the second trimester. A genetic examination is also necessary after prenatal diagnosis and multidisciplinary work is also important between departments. TOF without genetic disorder can be successfully corrected with surgery after birth.

The high rate of food fraud in the food industry has resulted in direct threat to consumer’s health. To address this, the present study investigated vitamin c, minerals, microbial, nutritional and sensory qualities of some freshly produced fruit juices in order to encourage consumers to make their own fruit juices in the comfort of their homes. The pH of the fruit juice samples ranged from 3.94 to 5.87. All the samples were rated the same in terms of sweetness and general acceptability. Mango and watermelon juices were rated the best in terms of appearance and flavor while orange and pineapple were rated the best in taste. The total bacterial, total enterobacteriaceae and total yeast counts ranged from 2.2x101 to 3.6x101, 2.6x101 to 3.8x101 and 3.9x101 to 4.8x101 CFU/ml respectively. Feacal coliforms were not detected in any of the samples. The proximate composition of the samples ranged from 7.10 to 12.25, 0.34 and 2.02, 0.06 and 1.01, 80.55 and 86.10 and 0.18 and 0.88% for crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, moisture and total ash contents respectively. The result shows that the mineral composition of the fruit juice samples for iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) ranged from 0.44 to 2.24, 11.95 to 14.78, 0.78 to 26.41, 96.37 to 169.20 and 6.94 to 36.34 mg/100 ml respectively. The vitamin C content was between 10.20 and 40.24 mg/100 ml. In view of sensory, microbial, nutritional, minerals and vitamin C properties of the fruit juice samples, the fruit juice samples were deemed fit for consumption.

Published: October 2022

Indonesia government urges the public to increase their immune system to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus by increasing the consumption of healthy food as well as massive vaccination and mobility restriction. The issue creates opportunity for an enterprise named Ladangkita.id focusing in selling healthy agricultural food especially fruits. This paper evaluates the existing business of Ladangkita.id who often experiences problems during the process in order to create a better business strategy. Using two analytical approaches, which are Business Process Analysis and Porter's Five Forces, the authors found that Ladangkita.id operational cost is bigger than its revenue because of their business process and fruit retail business is highly saturated. Blue Ocean Strategy is proposed by the authors for Ladangkita.id. By eliminating activities that less contribute to revenue, reducing variance of fresh fruits but increasing the variance of processed fruits as well as creating a new value of products may create a better and sustainable business for Ladangkita.id.

Hospitals in improving services and responding to the challenges of the times and the needs of their users apply the Hospital Information System (HIS). HIS is a series of activities that cover all health services at all levels of administration that can provide information to managers for the process of managing health services in hospitals. Based on the results of the PIECES analysis, there are aspects of performance that are not yet connected to other units, and frequent trouble loading occurs. In the information aspect, the menu in the application display has not been automatically linked between the website and HIS for-outpatient registration. Based on the economic aspect, HIS is not yet paperless and has not been connected to the patient queue time monitor in other units. In the control aspect, the application of HIS has not been able to control the information displayed to each user. Based on the efficiency aspect, there are often additional features in HIS, and in the service aspect, it is found that there is no manual backup in case of system errors. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causal design research design using SPSS multiple regression, aiming to analyze the effect that can improve outpatient registration services in hospitals. This study used a sample of 60 staff related to the hospital registration unit. Results: There is a significant effect of the PIECES aspect of HIS on-outpatient registration at X Hospital Tangerang. The better the PIECES aspect of HIS will result in or improve the quality of outpatient registration services. Based on the results of the study, the implications of this study indicate the magnitude of the influence of the HIS performance aspect that can improve outpatient registration services at the hospital.
