Effects of Different Indications for Forceps Delivery on Pelvic Floor Muscle Surface Electromyography and Early Postpartum Pelvic Floor Function in Primiparas
Authors: Chi Xiaolei , Yu Shushu , Zhu Kun , Xu Chuangchuang , Su Xiaohan , Chen Xinliang
Published: February 2023

Background: Forceps-assisted vaginal delivery is closely associated with postpartum pelvic floor muscle (PFM) injury and postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction. The present study utilized Glazer PFM surface electromyography (sEMG) and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) for the objective assessment of postpartum PFM function to determine the effects of different forceps delivery indications on early postpartum pelvic floor function in primiparas. Methods: Four hundred primiparas whose pregnancies had been terminated by forceps delivery were divided into three groups based on the indication for forceps delivery: fetal distress (FD) (n = 260), prolonged second stage of labor (PSSL) (n = 30), and intrapartum fever combined with fetal distress (IFFD) (n = 110). Pelvic floor muscle surface electromyography (EMG) performed according to the Glazer protocol at 42–60 days postpartum was the primary outcome measure. Results: The overall Glazer assessment scores of the PSSL (54.4 ± 18.6) and IFFD (54.6 ± 15.8) groups were significantly lower than that of the FD group (59.3 ± 17.0) (p = 0.019). The peak EMG value during the fast-twitch stage for the FD, PSSL, and IFFD groups was 32.4 ± 17.7, 31.7 ± 26.1, and 26.5 ± 12.2 μV, respectively; the IFFD and FD groups were significantly different (p < 0.05). The incidence of postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was significantly higher in the IFFD and PSSL groups; the IFFD and FD groups were significantly different (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Intrapartum fever probably affects the early postpartum pelvic floor function of primiparas who underwent forceps delivery, which mainly manifests in the short term as reduced fast-twitch muscle strength and SUI.
Differential expression of MKLN1 in pancreatic cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined public and published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with pancreatic cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding muskelin 1, MKLN1, when comparing pancreatic tumors to the tissue of origin, the pancreas. MKLN1 mRNA was present at lower quantities in tumors of the pancreas as compared to normal pancreatic tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of MKLN1 in pancreatic tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. MKLN1 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human PDAC.

Background: A Core Outcome Set for Inguinal Hernia repair (COS-IH) will facilitate adequate comparison of treatment strategies and the interpretation and implementation of clinical trial results. To develop such a COS-IH, this systematic review is performed to determine which outcomes are reported in RCTs and MA in children aged 0-16 years undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines using PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library databases (Prospero registry: CRD42021281422). This systematic review included all randomized trials (RCTs) and meta-analysis (MA) that assessed inguinal hernia repair in children. Results: A total of 96 unique outcomes were identified in the 47 included articles. These outcomes were mapped into the 62 terms as shown in table 2. Conclusion: The development of this IH-COS is crucial for outcome data comparison and will enable adequate and efficient comparison of treatment strategies, and will aid the interpretation and implementation of clinical trial results.
No data left behind
Authors: Visser Ingmar
Published: February 2023

Infant research notoriously suffers from small samples, resulting in low power. Beyond increasing sample sizes, improving the reliability of our measurements can also increase power and help find more reliable effects. Byers-Heinlein, Bergmann and Savalei (2021) provide both an analysis of the problem of (low) reliability and a number of valuable recommendations. One of the recommendations is to ‘exclude unreliable data’. Although this may increase the effect size found in the remaining data, it can also unjustifiably bias the estimates when it is unknown what the cause of the unreliability is. In such cases, it is better to embrace the variability and use it to characterize the population: variability is also informative. Modern analytical techniques can be used to deal with variability and with missing data. No data should be left behind!
A lurking bias: Representativeness of users across social media and its implications for sampling bias in cognitive science
Authors: Vuorio Valtteri , Horne Zachary
Published: February 2023

Within internet there exists the 90-9-1 principle (also called the 1% rule), which dictates that a vast majority of user-generated content in any specific community comes from the top 1% active users, with most people only listening in. When combined with other demographic biases among social media users, this casts doubt as to how well these users represent the wider world, which might be problematic considering how user-generated content is used in psychological research and in the wider media. We conduct three computational studies using pre-existing datasets from Reddit and Twitter; we examine the accuracy of the 1% rule and what effect this might have on how user-generated content is perceived by performing and comparing sentiment analyses between user groups. Our findings support the accuracy of the 1% rule, and we report a bias in sentiments between low- and high-frequency users. Limitations of our analyses will be discussed.

Authors: Lamichhane Anjana , K. C. Anup , Sharma Bishal
Published: February 2023

This paper examines how the local community of Chitlang village perceives the tourism impact on their community and how their socio-economic characteristics influence their perception towards tourism. Self-administered questionnaires were interviewed to the local people. For this, a 5-point Likert-type response scale was used. Data from 54 completed questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively by various statistical techniques, including factor analysis and cluster analysis. The impacts on the local community were condensed into eight factors: community development, economic impacts, local production, local environment, youths’ consumption pattern, social impacts, occupational pattern, and land prices. Simultaneously, all respondents were segmented into six groups according to the socio-demographic factors (gender, age, education level, and occupation) by cluster analysis. The relationship between eight factors concerning tourism’s impacts and those six clusters groups with different socio-demographics were established. Educated youth were paying great attention to economic benefits and were concerned with the positive and negative impact of tourism on the local environment. Senior citizens with lower education levels perceived development of the locality from tourism, and other adult groups saw changes in occupational pattern changes.

Authors:   Oleksandr Dovzhenko Hlukhiv National Pedagogical University, Zaitseva Nataliia
Published: February 2023

The article examines the theoretical foundations of the development of bilingual education in the USA. The essence of the concept of «bilingual education» and other related concepts related to the field of bilingualism are revealed. The author introduces the leading ideals of the American philosophy of education, trends, and fundamental principles of the development of bilingual education. The author emphasizes that bilingual education in the USA is quite developed. Many foreign scholars have studied bilingual education in the United States. The most authoritative of them are K. Baker, C. Price-Jones, O. Garcia, J. Cummins, and others. The basis of bilingual education is the theory of constructivism, which is based on the study of the experience of the natural acquisition of a second language. Based on research, its authors concluded that the main principle of learning a second language is the principle of using the skills acquired when learning the first (native) language, which serves as the basis for learning the second. The author assures that during the past ten years of practicing bilingual education in the USA, the country has gained a lot of experience which is a good example for other multicultural states, in particular Ukraine.

The article examines the experimental verification of the technology of forming the physical readiness of future NGU officers for service-combat activity in the process of professional training. A pedagogical experiment was organized in order to identify the dynamics of the formation of the physical readiness of future NGU officers for service-combat activity and to evaluate the effectiveness of the justified technology of its formation.

The planning and conducting of a pedagogical experiment, the processing of its results, and the effectiveness of the application of this technology in military institutions of higher education are described.

The pedagogical experiment included the definition of the methodology and the plan, forms of training of future officers of the NGU to conduct experimental work, organization and conduct of sections, testing and processing of the obtained results and took place in three stages: ascertaining, formative and control, the experiment was conducted on the basis of the National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine 217 cadets were involved in it.

We decided not to include a control group in the pedagogical experiment, because in our opinion, it is not objective to compare two groups according to different demographic and social indicators, according to different basic preparation of the applicants and different social and living conditions of stay, which invariably carries its own corrections in the purity of the experiment.

Qualitative and quantitative indicators in the experimental group after the completion of the formative experiment testified to the positive impact of the developed technology and the formation of the physical readiness of future officers of the NSU for service and combat activities.

Abstract. Introduction. An agricultural sector in the Republic of Maldives mostly consists of smallholder farming communities which are highly restricted by low productivity and unavailability of natural resources. The AgroNAT contract farming was implemented to address this challenge but so far does not provide the expected results across the agricultural regions Purpose. This research study looked into assessing and explaining the resemblances and differences observed in the analyzed agricultural regions 1, 2, and 3 regarding categories of gender disparity and farming population age, access to land resources, markets, and finance. Results. Total of over 1200 farmers on 13 islands were interviewed to specify key influential factors of their farming activities. To check the study hypotheses, we utilized the Chi-square Test for Independence. It confirmed strong resemblances of regions 1 and 2 by gender disparity and farming population age in favor of male farm heads and farmers over 40 years old. In region 3 there are more females actively involved in the farming activities. The research findings also revealed that around 27% of the farming population in region 3 are the young aged below 40 who demonstrate essential interest in new agricultural technologies and are better educated in financial aspects. The research clarified that regions 1 and 2 are more affected by the indicators of `No arable land` and `Land tenure insecurity`. Whereas regions 2 and 3 appeared to be similar by the indicators of `Started farming` and `No arable land`. All the regions resemble by the access to finance and markets. However, the focus group discussion revealed that farmers in region 3 are more efficient in using financing opportunities provided by the government and private sectors. Whereas the logistic and transport options are more beneficial for regions 1 and 2 as their islands are closer to the capital city. Conclusions. The study identified the weak spots and advantages of each agricultural region and recommended ways on how to increase efficiency and effectiveness of their contract farming.

Published: February 2023

Abstract. Introduction. The world today, gets acquainted with a new tool which is cryptocurrencies also known as virtual money. Governments and Central Banks of different countries often dispute about the use of these innovations. Some researches believe that virtual money (cryptocurrencies) is a crime, others believe that we are talking about a true revolution in the world of finances. Some of them share radical views and propose to impose criminal penalties on one who distributes and uses virtual money in view of the possibility of the potential for using them for the money-laundering purposes or for the financing of terrorism; others point out the inevitability of the development and spread. The latter is epitomized by the adoption of cryptocurrency as the official state currency. However, such a decision of governments imposes new questions and problems of cryptocurrencies accounting. Purpose. Deepening the theoretical foundations of the bitcoin accounting as an official currency and, accordingly, a legal instrument of payment. Results. The article deals with the economic essence of cryptocurrency, current situation and prospects for the development of this phenomenon in the world through the analysis of scientific articles of leading scientists and experts. In addition, the paper considers preconditions for cryptocurrency accounting as the official state currency on the example of Bitcoin in El Salvador and The Central African Republic, discusses the reasons of the adoption of cryptocurrency as the official state currency by poor countries. Conclusions. It is found that the use of bitcoin is an important factor in solving the country's current economic and financial problems, which was used by El Salvador and The Central African Republic for today. Among such problems are the investment climate, speed and cost of payments, access of the population to banking services. The possibility of a negative impact of the use of cryptocurrencies on the economy is also allowed. As for accounting, the issues of adoption of bitcoin as an object of accounting, accounting estimate, accounting methods and criteria for its recognition in financial statements remain unresolved. Keywords: cryptocurrency; bitcoin; legal currency; accounting object; cryptocurrency accounting; accounting and financial reporting problems.

Published: February 2023

Abstract. Introduction. The article reveals the essence of economic security of the state, which is the most important among other components of national security, since it constitutes the material basis of the entire state system and reflects the key interests of society. The purpose of the scientific article is to study the challenges and threats that exist in the modern globalized world and in Ukraine. Purpose. Currently, the issue of economic security is gaining relevance due to rather contradictory tendencies and events that have become actualized in the context of the global crisis and the aggravation of crisis phenomena within the country. Therefore, the issues of transformation of threat sources, strengthening of the influence of non-economic factors on the economic sphere requires a radical rethinking. Results. One of the biggest threats that led to economic fluctuations in 2020 and created a global crisis was the COVID19 pandemic. The crisis led to a break of the usual and stable trajectory of development at the macro and micro levels. The forced implementation of quarantine restrictions transformed the model of behavior of economic entities and the way of life of society. Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine led to a deep crisis, became one of the dominant challenges and threats to economic security for the world economy and for Ukraine, it will have far-reaching consequences. The global economic crisis, caused by non-economic factors - global restructuring of the economic system, COVID-19 pandemic, russia�s full-scale war against Ukraine - led to a deep crisis, forcing us to think about the issue of forming a new concept of economic security. The article analyzes the ways to ensure the strengthening of the economic security of the state. Proved that overcoming the existing situation is possible only due to the sustainable development of indexes of labor productivity, product quality, competitiveness and active participation of the state. Conclusions. There is a clear understanding of the fact that overcoming a crisis of any level is impossible without the steady support of the world community. It becomes obvious that the national interests of Ukraine correspond to the steady development of the national economy, the integration of Ukraine into the European economic area, the development of equal and mutually beneficial economic cooperation with other states.

Abstract. Introduction. The new challenges facing the world community in the context of post-industrial development bring to the fore the problems of human capital development. Thus, education plays a key role in ensuring the social and economic well-being of each individual, each country and the world community as a whole. In our opinion, the achievement of this goal will be possible in the case of skillful application of modern didactic methods, not simple exercises, but real pedagogical tasks � tasks of a high level of complexity by lecturers. Professional pedagogical activity is defined as a constant process of solving pedagogical problems, so lecturers should pay considerable attention to the technology of their solution. Purpose. The purpose of this publication is to reveal and clarify the meaning of the term �professional pedagogical task� in the context of the method of its solution in higher education establishment. Results. The article presents, using a practical example, the method of using one-factor variance analysis in solving professional problems of higher school teachers, in particular, identifying the main factors influencing the success of students in higher education institutions. The main purpose of variance analysis is to statistically reveal the influence of various factors on the variability of the characteristic being studied. Of particular interest is the use of the method in the analysis of economic processes and phenomena, when the variability of the resulting characteristic is caused by the simultaneous action of several factors with unequal influence. In particular, this is observed when analyzing the effective synthetic indicators of the economic efficiency of production. Conclusions. Our research material makes it possible to justify the choice of univariate analysis of variance for its application in solving professional pedagogical problems of teachers in higher educational institutions. The results of data processing using analysis of variance give a quantitative or qualitative assessment of research, which, in turn, increases the efficiency of the educational process, improving it.

Elderly dogs are prone to acquire numerous diseases over the years, with geriatrics as a field of medicine being important. It is visible the emotional bond that owners have with their dogs, consequently, generating a greater concern with the life expectancy of their animals. Cognitive changes are commonly seen in aging, with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome being an example. Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome is a neurodegenerative disease and neurodegeneration starts over six years old (depending on the size of the dog), and may show specific clinical signs of cognitive decline. However, with the lack of knowledge, the owners are not aware that such a disease may affect their pet, thinking that any clinical sign associated with aging is normal. The definitive diagnosis is histopathological and the diagnosis of exclusion is made by means of imaging tests, CSF analysis, laboratory tests and the increment of questionnaires. Symptom control, on the other hand, is defined by using specific medications, environmental enrichment, among other aspects, all associated with an increase in the patient's longevity and delay in the evolution of the disease. Therefore, the objective of the present work is to identify signs of senile cognitive changes in dogs. A questionnaire was made available to owners of dogs over six years of age, with five symptoms highlighted in the literature to analyze the signs presented with those of the Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome. The animals were separated into two age groups, one from six to eleven years old and the other from twelve to nineteen years old, and then the Chi-Square test was used to reveal whether there is significance between the increase in signs with advancing age, using P

Published: February 2023

The uncertainty of the functioning of higher education institutions in Ukraine in the conditions of Russian aggression, the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, actualized the problems of financial stability violations in higher education institutions, which is caused by the following factors: fluctuations in the number of students, their concentration in central universities, outflow from regional universities, changes in their structure , loss of income from foreign students, prioritization of defense expenditures, delay and reduction of budget funding, decrease in the solvency of the population, price competition between higher education institutions, destruction of the material and technical base, migration of applicants and teachers abroad, etc.

The purpose of the article is the methodological substantiation and practical approbation of the assessment of the impact of the change in the contingent on the financial stability of the university, proving the hypothesis that the stability and balance of the contingent has a positive effect on the university's income.

It is substantiated that the change in the contingent of students, their structure by degrees of education, forms of education and sources of funding is one of the indicators of the financial stability of the university. A group of scale indicators is proposed, which includes indicators of the growth of the contingent, in terms of budget and private financing, the average level of university income per student, the average level of university budget allocations per 1st budget student / contract student. The method of calculating scale indicators is defined and their recommended values are proposed to determine the level of their influence on the financial stability of the university.

Based on a sample of thirty-five higher education institutions of Ukraine, which include classical, technical, pedagogical, economic, and other universities, a practical test of the proposed approach was carried out, the obtained results were graphically presented, the main patterns and factors of violation of the financial stability of higher educational institutions were identified.
