Background

As a subcomponent of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), small dense LDL-C (sdLDL-C) has been suggested to be a better predictor of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The aim of this research was to evaluate the predictive value of the sdLDL-C in cardiovascular events (CVs) in Chinese elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods

A total of 386 consecutive type 2 DM patients were included into this study during December 2014 to December 2016. The serum sdLDL-C level of each subject was measured by homogeneous method. During a period of 48-month’s follow-up, the occurrence of CVs and associated clinical information were recorded. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the predictive value of serum sdLDL-C to occurrence of major CVs.

Results

A total of 92 CVs occurred during the study period. The ROC curve analysis manifested that sdLDL-C in the study population had a matchable discriminatory power (AUC for sdLDL-C was 0.7366, P = 0.003). In addition, Kaplan-Meier event-free survival curves displayed an obvious increase of CVs risk for sdLDL‐C ≧ 26 mg/dL (log-rank = 9.10, P = 0.003). This phenomenon had analogous results in patients who received statins at baseline (log rank = 7.336, P = 0.007). Cox regression analysis revealed that the increase in HbA1c, glucose, LDL-C, sdLDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and the decrease in apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI) were obviously interrelated with heightened CVs risk. Multiple Cox regression demonstrated that the increase of sdLDL-C and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was significantly correlated with CVs. The results of the study indicated that high sdLDL-C level (> 10 mg/dL) was a risk factor for CVs in the multivariate model (HR 1.281, 95% CI 1.225–16.032; P < 0.01).

Conclusion

sdLDL-C level could be an effective predictor in predicting the future CVs for Chinese elderly patients with type 2 DM and dyslipidemia.
Cardiac regeneration in the axolotl is unaffected by alterations in leukocyte numbers induced by lipopolysaccharide and prednisolone
Authors: Pedersen Kathrine , Rasmussen Rikke Kongsgaard , Dittrich Anita , Lauridsen Henrik
Published: April 2021

Objective

Cardiac regeneration in the axolotl has been found to rely on the innate immune system, and especially macrophages have been demonstrated to play a vital role in regulating the regenerative process. In this study we wanted to induce a pro- and anti-inflammatory milieu in the axolotl during heart regeneration to test the resilience of the regenerative response.

Results

This was induced via repeated intrapericardial injections of lipopolysaccharide or prednisolone during a 40-day regeneration period in order to challenge the presumably fine-tuned inflammatory response that normally facilitates regeneration. We observed a local and systemic leucocyte response to pro- and anti-inflammatory stimulation, but we found cardiac regeneration to be structurally and functionally unaffected.

The relationship between opioid agonist therapy satisfaction and fentanyl exposure in a Canadian setting
Authors: Mackay Lindsay , Kerr Thomas , Fairbairn Nadia , Grant Cameron , Milloy M.-J. , Hayashi Kanna
Published: April 2021

Background

While patient-reported treatment dissatisfaction is considered an important factor in determining the success of substance use disorder treatment, the levels of dissatisfaction with opioid agonist therapies (OAT) and its relationship with the risk of fentanyl exposure have not been characterized in the context of the ongoing opioid overdose crisis in the US and Canada. Our primary hypothesis was that OAT dissatisfaction was associated with an increased odds of fentanyl exposure.

Methods

Our objective was to examine self-reported treatment satisfaction among OAT patients in Vancouver, Canada and the association with fentanyl exposure. Longitudinal data were derived from 804 participants on OAT enrolled in two community-recruited harmonized prospective cohort studies of people who use drugs in Vancouver between 2016 and 2018 via semi-annual interviews and urine drug screens (UDS). We employed multivariable generalized estimating equations to examine the relationship between OAT dissatisfaction and fentanyl exposure.

Results

Out of 804 participants (57.0% male), 222 (27.6%) reported being dissatisfied with OAT at baseline and 1070 out of 1930 observations (55.4%) had fentanyl exposure. The distribution of OAT reported in the sample was methadone (n = 692, 77.7%), buprenorphine-naloxone (n = 82, 9.2%), injectable OAT (i.e., diacetylmorphine or hydromorphone; (n = 65, 7.3%), slow-release oral morphine (n = 44, 4.9%) and other/study medication (n = 8, 1.0%). In the multivariable analysis, OAT dissatisfaction was positively associated with fentanyl exposure (AOR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.08–1.66).

Conclusions

A substantial proportion of OAT patients in our sample reported dissatisfaction with their OAT, and more than half were exposed to fentanyl. We also found that those who were dissatisfied with their OAT were more likely to be exposed to fentanyl. These findings demonstrate the importance of optimizing OAT satisfaction in the context of the ongoing opioid overdose crisis.
Locally available agroresidues as potential sorbents: modelling, column studies and scale-up
Authors: Shah Arth Jayesh , Soni Bhavin , Karmee Sanjib Kumar
Published: April 2021

Sawdust, cotton stalk and groundnut shell were used for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution using batch sorption. Effect of initial dye concentration, temperature, and particle size of sorbents on methylene blue removal was investigated. Sorption capacity increases with rise in initial dye concentration and temperature. Impact of particle size on sorption of methylene blue was investigated and indicated that removal of dye increases with decrease in particle size of sorbents. Maximum sorption for sawdust, cotton stalks and groundnut shell were 9.22 mg g−1, 8.37 mg g−1 and 8.20 mg g−1 respectively; at 60 °C and 100 ppm initial dye concentration. Sorption isotherms were analyzed using fundamental Freundlich isotherm. Subsequently, sips isotherm model was employed for better fitting. Kinetic study shows that, biosorption process is pseudo-second-order in nature. During the course of this study, adsorption dynamics revealed that film diffusion was key step for biosorption. In addition, thermodynamics of sorption was studied; and it was found that Gibbs free energy (∆G°) decreases with increase in temperature. Sawdust was found to be best among all the sorbents. Therefore, column studies and breakthrough curve modelling were performed using sawdust. Furthermore, it was estimated that a scaled-up column using sawdust can treat 6672 L of wastewater in 24 h with 80% efficiency.
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for recurrent stroke due to atheromatic plaque in the proximal descending aorta: a case report
Authors: Hashimoto Masafumi , Nakano Yoshikazu , Tamura Yusaku
Published: April 2021

Background

Diastolic retrograde flow in the descending aorta (DAo) may occur in the presence of atherosclerosis and may be overlooked as a mechanism of retrograde embolization in patients with stroke. We performed thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in a patient with recurrent cerebral infarctions for treatment of aortic aneurysm with atheromatic plaque, which was considered as the source of embolism.

Case presentation

A 56-year-old man with a history of idiopathic thrombocytopenia and hypertension was referred to our hospital with paralysis of the right upper and lower limbs. Multiple cerebral infarctions were found and treated; however, 1 month later, another cerebral infarction developed. A small saccular aortic aneurysm with plaque was found beyond the left subclavian artery, and this site was deemed as the source of embolism. We performed TEVAR to prevent further recurrence of cerebral infarctions. No cerebral infarctions were observed 6 months post-operation.

Conclusions

TEVAR is a useful treatment for not only aortic aneurysm and dissection, but also cerebral infarctions caused by an embolic source proximal to the DAo due to retrograde aortic blood flow.

Published: April 2021

Background

There is extensive research investigating the match demands of players in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Objective

This systematic literature review and meta-regression sought to analyse the evolution of in-game demands in AFL matches from 2005 to 2017, focusing on the relationship between volume and intensity.

Methods

A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted. Included studies examined the physical demands of AFL matches utilising global positioning system (GPS) technology. Meta-regression analysed the shift in reported volume (total distance and total match time) and intensity (metres per minute [m.min−1], sprint duration and acceleration) metrics for overall changes, across quarters and positional groups (forwards, nomadics and defenders) from 2005 to 2017 inclusive and for each year between 2005 and 2007, 2007 and 2010, 2010 and 2012, and 2012 and 2015/2017 breakpoints.

Results

Distance (p = 0.094), m.min−1 (p = 0.494), match time (p = 0.591), time over 18 km·h−1 (p = 0.271), and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (p = 0.498) and 10 km·h−1 (p = 0.335) in 1 s did not change from 2005 to 2017. From 2005 to 2007 volume decreased (− 6.10 min of match time; p = 0.010) and intensity increased (6.8 m.min−1 increase; p = 0.023). Volume and intensity increased from 2007 to 2010, evidenced by increases in total distance (302 m; p = 0.039), time over 18 km·h−1 (0.31 min; p = 0.005), and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (41.1; p = 0.004) and 10 km·h−1 (3.6; p = 0.005) in 1 s. From 2010 to 2012, intensity decreased, evidenced by reductions in metres per minute (− 4.3; p = 0.022), time over 18 km·h−1 (− 0.93 min; p < 0.001), and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (− 104.4; p < 0.001) and 10 km·h−1 (− 8.3; p < 0.001) in 1 s, whilst volume stabilised with no changes in distance (p = 0.068) and match time (p = 0.443). From 2012 to 2015/2017 volume remained stable and intensity increased with time over 18 km·h−1 (0.27 min; p = 0.008) and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (31.6; p = 0.016) in 1 s increasing.

Conclusions

Changes in volume and intensity of AFL match demands are defined by discrete periods from 2007 to 2010 and 2010 to 2012. The interaction of rule and interpretation changes and coaching strategies play a major role in these evolutionary changes. In turn, modified game styles impact player game demands, training, and selection priorities. Standardisation and uniformity of GPS data reporting is recommended due to inconsistencies in the literature.
Economic self-reliance or social relations? What works in refugee integration? Learning from resettlement programmes in Japan and the UK
Authors: Phillimore Jenny , Morrice Linda , Kabe Kunihiko , Hashimoto Naoko , Hassan Sara , Reyes Marisol
Published: April 2021

There is an urgent need to expand the scale and scope of refugee resettlement schemes, and yet country approaches to resettlement vary markedly and there is little cross-country learning from approaches and refugee experiences. In Japan, resettlement focuses on economic self-sufficiency through employment; whereas the UK, through Community Sponsorship volunteers, on providing social connections to facilitate integration. This paper explores the strengths and short-comings of each approach and examines the ways in which refugee resettlement programmes prioritising different integration domains might influence refugee experiences of integration more widely. Drawing on principles and domains set out in the Indicators of Integration Framework (Ndofor-Tah, C. Strang, A. Phillimore, J. Morrice, L., Michael, L., Wood, P., Simmons, J. (2019) Home Office Indicators of Integration framework 2019), insight is provided into the multi-dimensionality of integration and new understandings about the nature of social connections are offered. The findings highlight the context specific nature of integration policy and practice and underline the importance of a holistic approach. We conclude that resettlement initiatives might incorporate both employers and local communities working in collaboration to support newly arrived refugees but with some state involvement.

Published: April 2021

Background

On 18 January 2018 a 40 year old man presented with skin lesions at Rhino Camp Health Centre. A skin lesion swab was collected on 20 January 2018 and was confirmed by PCR at Uganda Virus Research Institute on 21 January 2018. Subsequently, about 9 persons were reported to have fallen ill after reporting contact with livestock that died suddenly. On 9 February 2018, Arua District notified Uganda Ministry of Health of a confirmed anthrax outbreak among humans in Rhino Camp sub-county. We investigated to determine the scope and mode of transmission and exposures associated with identified anthrax to guide control and prevention measures.

Methods

We defined a suspected cutaneous anthrax case as onset of skin lesions (e.g., papule, vesicle, or eschar) in a person residing in Rhino Camp sub-county, Arua District from 25 December 2017 to 31 May 2018. A confirmed case was a suspected case with PCR-positivity for Bacillus anthracis from a clinical sample. We identified cases by reviewing medical records at Rhino Camp Health Centre. We also conducted additional case searches in the affected community with support from Community Health Workers. In a retrospective cohort study, we interviewed all members of households in which at least one person had contact with the carcasses of or meat from animals suspected to have died of anthrax. We collected and tested hides of implicated animals using an anthrax rapid diagnostic test.

Results

We identified 14 case-patients (1 confirmed, 13 suspected); none died. Only males were affected (affected proportion: 12/10,000). Mean age of case-persons was 33 years (SD: 22). The outbreak lasted for 5 months, from January 2018–May 2018, peaking in February. Skinning (risk ratio = 2.7, 95% CI = 1.1–6.7), dissecting (RR = 3.0, 95% CI = 1.2–7.6), and carrying dead animals (RR = 2.7, 95% CI = 1.1–6.7) were associated with increased risk of illness, as were carrying dissected parts of animals (RR = 2.9, 95% CI 1.3–6.5) and preparing and cooking the meat (RR = 2.3, 95% CI 0.9–5.9). We found evidence of animal remains on pastureland.

Conclusion

Multiple exposures to the hides and meat of animals that died suddenly were associated with this cutaneous anthrax outbreak in Arua District. We recommended public education about safe disposal of carcasses of livestock that die suddenly.
Dynastic Human Capital, Inequality, and Intergenerational Mobility
Authors: Adermon Adrian , Lindahl Mikael , Palme Mårten
Published: April 2021

We estimate long-run intergenerational persistence in human capital using information on outcomes for the extended family: the dynasty. A dataset including the entire Swedish population, linking four generations, allows us to identify parents’ siblings and cousins, their spouses, and spouses’ siblings. Using various human capital measures, we show that traditional parent-child estimates underestimate long-run intergenerational persistence by at least one-third. By adding outcomes for more distant ancestors, we show that almost all of the persistence is captured by the parental generation. Data on adoptees show that at least one- third of long-term persistence is attributed to environmental factors. (JEL I24, I26, J12, J24, J62)
Stock Market Wealth and the Real Economy: A Local Labor Market Approach
Authors: Chodorow-Reich Gabriel , Nenov Plamen T. , Simsek Alp
Published: April 2021

We provide evidence of the stock market consumption wealth effect by using a local labor market analysis. An increase in local stock wealth driven by aggregate stock prices increases local employment and payroll in nontradable industries and in total, with no effect on employment in tradable industries. In a model of geographic heterogeneity in stock wealth, these responses imply an MPC of 3.2 cents per year and that a 20 percent increase in stock valuations, unless countered by monetary policy, increases the aggregate labor bill by at least 1.7 percent and aggregate hours by at least 0.7 percent two years after the shock.

For companies, loyal customers mean a lot besides illustrates the amount of profitability obtained by loyal consumers can also show the image or image of the company in the public eye. Loyal customers can become partners in developing new products, because they maintain and defend and even use the services of existing companies. According to Darsono (2004) a loyal customer becomes a valuable asset for the company. Loyal customers will reduce the effort to find new customers, giving positive feedback to the company.

Introduction to The Problem: The mission of the zakat institution as a philanthropic booster is very necessary. As an economic empowerment for the poor and to support micro businesses. Especially when the covid 19 pandemic condition requires a wealth distribution of income and consumption from the sufficient in the weak economy condition.Objective Study: The aims of this study is to identify the optimization of the zakat institution program which involves poverty reduction and the utilization of the poor and disadvantaged. This is in line with SDG’s 1 and 8 values on poverty reduction and the provision of decent work.Methodology: This study uses an explanatory qualitative approach. A solution review of the process of managing and utilizing money waqf at LAZ Yatim Mandiri, using primary data by in-depth interviews with waqf doers and continued with source triangulation, focus group discussion that talks about covid 19 in many perspective, accompanied by the opinion of 15 academicians and 4 experts (fiqh) waqf.Findings: The result of this study showed that the potential for endowments must be balanced with increasing Nazir awareness and understanding to manage endowments of money in order to continue to be useful. Ascertaining the direction of philanthropic movements during pandemic to collect funds and distribute them to the poor and pandemic affected victims is a crucial point. The important advice that LAZ should make is to maintain the intensity of friendship with muzakki or donors and the needy, to create a socially oriented business and also can be appropriate and feasible with the propaganda method used. this needs to be done considering that in addition to humanity issues, other issues that have a severe impact on the covid pandemic 19 are the microeconomic sector and MSME.
Debt-Based Versus Equity-Based Financing: A Comparative Analysis on Efficiency of Islamic Financial System
Authors: Maikabara Abdullateef Abdulqadir , Maulida Sri , Aderemi Abdulmajeed M
Published: April 2021

Introduction to The Problem: The financial system, as a subset of economics, plays a prominent role in solidifying the socio-economic development and wellbeing of people of a society. However, debt-based and equity-based financing are the main models employed by Islamic financial institutions to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that need funding to facilitate their businesses' projects. Operationally, debt-based financing seems to be the prominent financing model than equity-based financing, which only accounts for either zero or small scale in Islamic financial institutions.Objective Study: This study explores the rightful financing model that can contribute much better to the efficiency of the Islamic financial system in achieving socio-economic development.Methodology: To achieve the study's purpose, a literature-based method and secondary data collection technique are adopted as related previous studies from articles, books, conferences, and working papers are reviewed and analyzed.Findings: Equity-based model as a partnership model is somewhat more productive in contributing to socio-economic development than debt-based financing, but not being widely applied due to specific issues such as high risk, agency problem, costumer’s awareness, and sensitivity, and others more. It is recommended that researchers empirically investigate the suitable financing model between debt-based and equity-based financing models to ensure the achievement of sustainable socio-economic development.

Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND Indonesian tobacco control initiatives are minimal despite having the second-highest adult male smoking prevalence in the world, with less than 10% of districts/cities banning outdoor tobacco advertisements. This research aimed to provide evidence on the presence of outdoor tobacco advertisements near health facilities in Surabaya where there is no outdoor advertising ban.

METHODS Data collection was carried out in Surabaya from October to November 2018. Data of government (public) and private health facilities were obtained from the city health office. Two spatial data analyses were carried out: a buffer analysis near the healthcare facilities and an advertisement hotspot analysis using ArcMap 10.6.

RESULTS From 308 tobacco advertisements that were identified, there were billboards (63%), banners (31%), and videoboards (7%). Of 142 public and 1,242 private health facilities in Surabaya, 26% and 31% had advertisements within 300 m and 63% and 70% were within advertisement hotspots, respectively. Furthermore, 5% of advertisements were within 300 m from public health facilities and 21% of them were within 300 m from private health facilities.

CONCLUSIONS Outdoor tobacco advertisements were widespread throughout the city, prominently around public and private health facilities.

Published: April 2021

This paper presents a new method for radius of curvature measurement by interferometers. The radius measurement is carried out directly in the interferometer confocal position without the need for a specific hardware and thus allows us to measure a much more diverse range of optical surfaces than standard methods. The method is based on measuring a number of phase maps and displacements at several steps through the confocal null position. Radius of curvature is then computed as the tangent slope of the measured defocus–displacement pair values in the confocal position. A relative accuracy of the method is approximately 0.05%, which makes the method suitable for a vast number of applications. Results of the method are verified using standard confocal cat’s eye technique.

Published: April 2021

In this paper, a novel, to the best of our knowledge, iterative approach for highlight removal is proposed using lenselet-based plenoptic cameras without multiple exposures. An unsupervised k-means clustering approach that relates unsaturated pixels to chromatic dispersion based on the intrinsic decomposition and dichromatic reflection model is proposed to recover unsaturated highlights. Meanwhile, an adaptive direction method along with a Gaussian probability distribution model is designed to recover the saturated highlights. Finally, a method that combines the specular residual ratio with information entropy is built to quantitatively evaluate the quality of highlight removal. Generally, our method not only fully removes specular highlights, but also has low spatial complexity of image acquisition, more stability, and outstanding restoration for complex scenes.

from single snapshots. The computational spectrometer itself operates similarly to a spatial Fourier transform spectrometer (FTIR), but rather than use conventional Fourier-based methods or assumptions, the spectral reconstruction used a non-negative least-squares fitting algorithm based on analytically computed wavelength response vectors determined from extracted physical thicknesses across the entire two-dimensional wedge. This new computational technique resulted in performance and spectral resolutions exceeding those that could be achieved from Fourier processing techniques applied to this wedge etalon. With an additional imaging lens and translational scanning, the system can be converted into a hyperspectral imager.
