Authors: No author No author
Published: June 2023

Pharmaceutical innovations over the past half century have made it possible to effectively treat and prevent a wide range
of diseases. These achievements were so important for modern healthcare that equal access to them is considered one of
the basic human rights. This article examines the economics and pricing in certain segments of the pharmaceutical market.
The authors analyze various aspects affecting drug prices and price formation mechanisms in various segments of the
pharmaceutical industry. The article considers the role of pharmaceutical companies, government regulators and
consumers in determining the prices of medicines. The authors investigate the influence of factors such as research and
development costs, production costs, patent protection, supply and demand, as well as political and regulatory measures
on the formation of prices for pharmaceuticals. It is noted that although the demand for medicines is one of the driving
forces of pharmaceutical spending, price increase is the main problem for health system managers, as drug prices
increasingly seem unfair. The paper also analyzes various pricing strategies used by pharmaceutical companies, including
differentiated pricing, cost pricing and pricing based on the value for a patient. The authors explore the advantages and
limitations of each strategy and offer recommendations on the optimal choice of pricing strategy in different segments of
the pharmaceutical market. The article ends with the main conclusions and offers recommendations for pharmaceutical
companies and government regulators regarding effective pricing in certain segments of the pharmaceutical market,
taking into account economic, political and social factors. The study has an important meaning for understanding the
complexities and challenges associated with pricing in the pharmaceutical industry and helps to determine optimal pricing
strategies for various market segments.

Laryngeal injuries are rare but can be fatal. Depending on the type and severity of the trauma, thyroid and laryngeal cartilage fractures, full-thickness mucosal tears, tracheolaryngeal separation, and injuries leading to pneumomediastinum may be observed. Laryngeal traumas can occur either bluntly or penetratingly. Blunt traumas typically result from traffic accidents, falls, and sports injuries, while penetrating injuries are often caused by gunshot wounds or sharp objects. In this particular case study, the case was a 24-year-old male who was brought to the emergency room after being struck by a forklift at In his physical examination, a 10x1 cm wound was observed on his right scapula, along with subcutaneous emphysema in the subclavicular region. As a result of the examinations, the patient was found to have fractures of the larynx, thyroid cartilage, 8th rib and pneumomediastinum. In this study, it was thought that the thyroid and larynx cartilage fractures occurred as a result of hyperflexion/hyperextension of the neck without a direct blow to the neck region. This case is being presented because it is a rare occurrence in the literature, primarily due to its unique mechanism of injury.

Authors: Al Fauzi Asra , Bernardus Denny
Published: June 2023

An effort was made to fulfill one of the citizen's fundamental rights, which was known as the right to acquire health services, and the development of health care was part of that endeavor. In addition, it was an investment made to help promote the growth of the economy and the alleviation of poverty. To improve the general welfare of the community, the Surabaya Neuroscience Institute worked towards implementing various health development initiatives, particularly those linked with neurological conditions. The effectiveness of the Surabaya Neuroscience Institute's staff members was a critical factor in determining its ability to achieve its goals, vision, and mission. In order to reach their full potential, the physicians who worked at the Surabaya Neuroscience Institute needed to maintain a high level of motivation. An effective remuneration scheme will support the motivation of the worker. On the other hand, when it came to the implementation of this compensation scheme, the culture that prevailed in the medical area was quite distinct. In addition to the justice components, the ethical and seniority aspects continued to be very relevant for both the performance of physicians and the remuneration model. The version of physicians at the Surabaya Neuroscience Institute needed to be improved. Thus, this study aimed to develop a motivating compensation system that might do so. In this study, a descriptive qualitative method alongside an in-depth interview was used, and the respondent was chosen using a method known as non-random purposive sampling. A total of six individuals were utilized to represent the population of 19 members at the Surabaya Neuroscience Institute. In light of the findings, an examination of the respondents' points of view revealed that almost all of them believed there was still an issue with the level of motivation exhibited by the physicians working at the SNeI. Concerning the compensation system, the results showed that the design of the financial compensation is deemed suitable. Still, the issue of nonfinancial compensation needs to be studied and improved because it can significantly impact the performance of physicians.

Published: June 2023

The survival rate of children admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after birth is on the increase; hence, proper evaluation and care of their neurodevelopment has become an important issue. Neurodevelopmental assessments of individual domains regarding motor, language, cognition, and sensory perception are crucial in planning prompt interventions for neonates requiring immediate support and rehabilitation treatment. These assessments are essential for identifying areas of weakness and designing targeted interventions to improve future functional outcomes and the quality of lives for both the infants and their families. However, initial stratification of risk to select those who are in danger of neurodevelopmental disorders is also important in terms of cost-effectiveness. Efficient and robust functional evaluations to recognize early signs of developmental disorders will help NICU graduates receive interventions and enhance functional capabilities if needed. Several age-dependent, domain-specific neurodevelopmental assessment tools are available; therefore, this review summarizes the characteristics of these tools and aims to develop multidimensional, standardized, and regular follow-up plans for NICU graduates in Korea.

Adhesion of thermal oxide scale formed on silicon-containing hot-rolled steel oxidised in oxygen
Authors: ISSAARD Wannapha , NILSONTHI Thanasak
Published: June 2023

Defects can be caused by the thermal oxide scale that forms on the surface of steel during the hot rolling process. The oxidation and adhesion of scale on silicon-containing hot-rolled steel were investigated in a flowing 20% O2-N2 gas mixture at 900°C. Scale spallation was observed using a tensile testing machine equipped with a CCD camera. The thickness of the scale was 3.45 μm for the higher silicon steel and 4.86 μm for the lower silicon steel. The oxide scale consists of hematite, magnetite, wustite, and iron. The strain that caused the first spallation was used to calculate the mechanical adhesion energy, which indicated the behaviour of the scale adhesion on a steel substrate. The strain initiation of the first spallation of scale on higher silicon steel was 5.57% which was higher than 4.57% for lower silicon hot-rolled steel. The calculated adhesion energy on the studied steel was shown to be in the range of 281 J.m-2 to 334 J.m-2. It can be noted that the higher amounts of silicon content in hot-rolled steel increased steel-scale interface adherence. This was due to the precipitated silicon oxide near steel-scale interface might be exhibited as a reinforcing phase.
Production of autoclaved lightweight concretes using pottery stone and bagasse ash
Authors: SRIPRASERTSUK Sutthima , DAOSUKHO Saijit
Published: June 2023

This study investigated the influence of pottery stone and bagasse ash on the mechanical features of autoclaved lightweight concrete. Pottery stone is a natural resource of igneous rock weathering commonly exists with white clay, feldspar and limestone. This raw material is mainly composed of quartz and mica that has been used for the production of ceramic products. Bagasse ash is a waste product of the sugar refining process that causes serious environmental pollution. Pottery stone and bagasse ash waste were physically characterized and partially substituted by the weight of cement in lightweight concrete with the addition of aluminium powder at a certain amount. The use of aluminium powder showed a positive effect on the porosity of lightweight bodies. Compressive strength, density and thermal conductivity were determined. Pottery stone can be used as a natural pozzolan for the production of lightweight concrete. Lightweight concrete manufactured with 17.5% pottery stone and 17.5% bagasse ash showed low density and good compressive strength. Autoclaved lightweight concrete is considered an economy in the consumption of pottery stone and bagasse ash waste as cement replacement, therefore enhancing the possibility of its reuse in a sustainable way.

Published: June 2023

Graphene Oxide (GO) metal nanocomposites make up an emerging class of advanced materials and enhance material functionality to obtain multifunctional properties and working towards superior performance of energy storage devices. GO was derived from Myanmar coal minerals using Modified Hummer method. The silver and nickel nanoparticles were used as metal ions or metal nanoparticles to form GO nanocomposites. Their characteristics were identified by XRD, SEM and Raman Spectroscopy. The energy gap of GO and GO composites was also investigated by the aid of UV-Vis spectroscopy. The dielectric constant is measures of the amount of electrical energy that can be stored in GO derived from coal mineral. The frequency-dependent dielectric properties and AC conductivity has been explored using GW INSTEK LCR-8110 meter. It was found that the dielectric constant is maximum at low frequencies region and decreases with increasing frequency. The electrochemical performance of this sample was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement. The CV curves of GO have typical rectangular-like shape and no evident oxidation/reduction peak. The prototypes of flat-shaped capacitors were prepared and their capacitive values were also determined. The as-prepared GO on the copper foil can be directly used to fabricate solid-state super capacitor.

O presente estudo foi realizado em três comunidades florestais localizadas no estado do Acre, com o objetivo de avaliar a incidência de acidentes com animais peçonhentos entre os moradores durante as atividades de extrativismo dos recursos naturais. A pesquisa teve caráter descritivo e os dados foram levantados por meio de entrevistas individuais com 250 participantes, onde 223 mencionaram realizar o extrativismo, e desses 213 revelaram já ter sofrido acidentes com animal peçonhento, ao menos uma vez durante a execução da atividade. Os principais animais relatados como causadores de algum acidente no passado foram os hymenópteros (abelhas, vespas e formigas), lepidópteros (lagartas), sendo também mencionados as serpentes, aranhas e escorpiões. A maioria dos acidentes foram ocasionados por vespas (33,6%), formigas (26,5%) e abelhas (23%). As lagartas foram responsáveis por 75% dos acidentes na atividade de coleta de frutos silvestres, enquanto os escorpiões foram relatados em 53,6% dos casos de acidentes na atividade de coleta da castanha e as serpentes foram responsáveis por metade dos acidentes na coleta de açaí. O gênero Bothrops (jararacas, papagaias) foi responsável por 83,3% do total de acidentes ofídicos relatados. Isso demonstra que durante a realização da atividade de extrativismo o grau de risco de acidentes relacionados com animais peçonhentos é extremamente relevante nessas comunidades, o que torna-se de fundamental importância a realização de campanhas de educação ambiental, de prevenção ao riscos e de primeiros socorros em acidentes com os diferentes grupos animais relatados como causadores de acidentes neste estudo.

Published: June 2023

Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques are among the methods used by the decision maker in the decision phase in practice, as in the literature. MCDM problems are grouped as classifications and sorting problems according to the type of inclusion or ranking in existing classes. Inverse multi-criteria sorting problem, a new topic in recent years, is defined as choosing among existing actions in order to improve the status of alternatives. In this study, in order to find out which action plan should be chosen for providing the minimum cost for the improvement of public transportation vehicles in case the boundaries of the classes to be assigned are uncertain, the inverse multi-criteria ranking problem is used. Because the boundaries of the classes to be assigned are fuzzy, fuzzy linear programming method will be used to solve the problem.

MENTAL READINESS IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE TASKS
Authors: Marquardt Nicki , Stierle Katrin Eleonore , van der Velden Eileen-Melina , Schürmann Verena
Published: June 2023

Emergency response tasks (ERTs) have to be performed in very challenging and stress-inducing task environments. Research has revealed that performance in ERTs is affected by emergency preparedness which in turn can be linked to the Mental Readiness (MR) of ERT personnel. This concept emerged originally from sports psychology and was found to play a key role in peak performance of top athletes. However, MR has never been used to explain performance variations in different ERTs. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to scrutinize if MR can have an effect on stress, task performance, and the operational success in ERTs. A sample of 319 people working in ERTs such as emergency medical technicians, firefighters, intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, and surgeons was surveyed. The results show that ERT personnel seem to benefit differently from the MR dimensions. Practical implications for mental training and human performance programs are discussed.

Objectives

To report stage‐specific patterns of treatment and the influence of management and treatment type on survival rates for people newly diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Design

Cross‐sectional patterns of care study; analysis of data prospectively collected for the Victorian Lung Cancer Registry (VLCR).

Setting, participants

All people diagnosed with SCLC in Victoria during 1 April 2011 – 18 December 2019.

Main outcome measures

Stage‐specific management and treatment of people with SCLC; median survival time.

Results

During 2011–19, 1006 people were diagnosed with SCLC (10.5% of all lung cancer diagnoses in Victoria); their median age was 69 years (interquartile range [IQR], 62–77 years), 429 were women (43%), and 921 were current or former smokers (92%). Clinical stage was defined for 896 people (89%; TNM stages I–III, 268 [30%]; TNM stage IV, 628 [70%]) and ECOG performance status at diagnosis for 663 (66%; 0 or 1, 489 [49%]; 2–4, 174 [17%]). The cases of 552 patients had been discussed at multidisciplinary meetings (55%), 377 people had received supportive care screening (37%), and 388 had been referred for palliative care (39%). Active treatment was received by 891 people (89%): chemotherapy, 843 (84%); radiotherapy, 460 (46%); chemotherapy and radiotherapy, 419 (42%); surgery, 23 (2%). Treatment had commenced within fourteen days of diagnosis for 632 of 875 patients (72%). Overall median survival time from diagnosis was 8.9 months (IQR, 4.2–16 months; stage I–III: 16.3 [IQR, 9.3–30] months; stage IV: 7.2 [IQR, 3.3–12] months). Multidisciplinary meeting presentation (hazard ratio [HR], 0.66; 95% CI, 0.58–0.77), multimodality treatment (HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.36–0.49), and chemotherapy within fourteen days of diagnosis (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.48–0.94) were each associated with lower mortality during follow‐up.

Conclusion

Rates of supportive care screening, multidisciplinary meeting evaluation, and palliative care referral for people with SCLC could be improved. A national registry of SCLC‐specific management and outcomes data could improve the quality and safety of care.

Special security techniques like intrusion detection mechanisms are indispensable in modern computer systems. It is important to detect and identify the attack in a category so that specific countermeasures for the threat category are solved. However, most existing multiclass detection approaches have some weaknesses, mainly related to detecting specific categories of attacks and problems with false positives. This article addresses this research problem and advances state-of-the-art, bringing contributions to a two-stage detection architecture called DNNET-Ensemble, combining binary and multiclass detection. The results obtained in experiments with renowned intrusion datasets demonstrate that the approach can achieve superior detection rates and false positives performance compared to other state-of-the-art approaches.
Delayed-onset Angioedema Following a Snakebite in a Patient on ACE Inhibitors: A Case Report
Authors: Sampson Christopher Scott , Schwarz Evan
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) are a common class of medications prescribed to patients for hypertension. Anti-hypertensive use is not normally considered an important factor when treating patients with crotalid envenomations; however, in combination with the venom in this patient, it may have resulted in angioedema.Case Report: A 65-year-old male on ACEI presented to his community emergency department following a snake envenomation to his thumb. Six vials of Crotalidae polyvalent immune fab were administered, and he was transferred to a referral center. Approximately 18 hours after the envenomation, the patient complained of tongue swelling and difficulty speaking. There was evidence of angioedema, with the right side of the tongue significantly enlarged compared to the left. He was intubated for airway protection and remained on a ventilator for three days. Conclusion: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors may potentiate the effects of exogenous bradykinin as some snake venom has naturally occurring bradykinin, which may further amplify its effects. Extra vigilance may be warranted for the development of angioedema in patients receiving ACEI.

Background: Cervicogenic headaches that stem from musculoskeletal disorders of the upper cervical spine are among the most common types of chronic headaches. In recent years, physiotherapy has emerged as a potential treatment for this type of headache. Objectives: Given the emphasis on educational methods such as pain neurophysiology education (PNE) for musculoskeletal pain, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of PNE in treating cervicogenic headaches. Methods: This study was a single-blind clinical trial. A sample of 30 participants with cervicogenic headache was divided into two groups using the block method: An experimental group of 15 participants and a control group of 15 participants. Experienced physiotherapists provided conventional physiotherapy for 10 sessions, and the experimental group also received pain neurophysiology education for four additional sessions. Pain severity, disability, and pain catastrophizing information were collected using the visual analog scale, headache disability index, and pain catastrophizing scale, respectively, at the beginning of the study, after the study, and at the one-month follow-up. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 22, and the significance level was set at 0.05. Results: A significant difference was observed in pain intensity assessment at different times (P < 0.001), headache disability index (P = 0.003), and pain catastrophizing (P < 0.001). The time-by-group interaction was significant for pain intensity (F = 49.051; P < 0.001; ηp2=0.637) and pain catastrophizing (F = 25.528; P < 0.001; ηp2=0.477); however, there was no significant difference in disability (F = 1.781; P = 0.178; ηp2=0.060). Conclusions: Pain neurophysiology education can have a positive effect on pain reduction, as well as the attitude and knowledge of individuals who experience pain in the short term.

Background: Faulty emotional strategies are one of the most crucial indicators of dangerous behavior. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) on emotional processing defects and impulsivity of soldiers aged 18 to 20 years with high-risk behaviors. Methods: The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population of this study included all soldiers aged 18 to 20 years referred to Valiasr Medical Center in Tehran in 2020. The research sample included 30 soldiers with high-risk behaviors who were selected purposefully and randomly assigned to two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group). To collect data, the high-risk behaviors Scale (IARS), Barrett's Impulsiveness scale, and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) was used. The experimental group underwent ten sessions of DBT, and the control group did not receive any treatment. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and SPSS-23 software. The significance level of the tests was considered 0.05. Results: The results of this study showed that the intervention and control groups had statistically significant differences in terms of emotional processing (P < 0.01) and impulsivity (P < 0.05) after the intervention of dialectical behavior therapy. Conclusions: Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that dialectical behavioral therapy can be used along with other treatments to reduce the problems of soldiers with high-risk behaviors.

Engagement in the L2 classroom is consequential for enhancing the quality of L2 learning experiences; however, the exploration of engagement in the Initiation, Response, and Feedback (IRF) cycles has received scant attention in L2 pedagogy. This study reports on research, examining engagement in Initiation, Response, and Feedback moves in the IRF cycles. Video recordings and questionnaires were used to collect data from ten EFL classes, being directed by eight teachers, with 73 learners. Using a post-interaction questionnaire and conversation analysis of classroom interactions, the analysis of the data revealed 784 triadic cycles out of which 493 moves embodied engagement. The data showed that not only do the Response and Feedback stages afford L2 learners the opportunity to deliberate on Form-focused language-related episodes (F-LREs), Lexis-focused LREs (L-LREs), and Mechanical LREs (M-LREs), but they also promote social and affective engagement. The comments on the questionnaire also revealed a deeper understanding of the participants’ affective engagement. The findings revealed that certain features of the IRF cycles and peers’ contributions encourage engagement during the IRF cycles. The results also demonstrated that scaffolding, mutuality, reciprocity, back-channeling, and commenting on preceding contributions made L2 learners socially engaged. The analysis suggests that the IRF cycles can create ad-hoc chances for engagement in L2 classroom interactions.
Comments on Margaret McLaren’s Women’s Activism, Feminism and Social Justice

Margaret McLaren’s ethnographic study that is ostensibly about Indian women’s activism also presents a nuanced critique of liberal human rights discourse and advances a relational cosmopoli­tanism. Her defense of Tagore’s decolonial worldview has much in common with an African Ubuntu ethics, which also eschews pos­sessive individualism in favor of a sociocentric social justice praxis philosophy. McLaren’s book provides an important contribution to questions of women’s empowerment, women’s rights, cultural rites, and situated knowledges.
LÜKSLE VE LÜKSE KARŞI: İSKOÇ AYDINLANMASINDA LÜKS ÜZERİNE DÜŞÜNCELER
Authors: ÇEŞMELİ Işıl
Published: June 2023

18.yüzyılda lüks tartışmalarına François Fénelon’un The Adventures of Telemachus ve Bernard Mandeville’in The Fable of the Bees adlı eserlerindeki görüşleri yön vermiştir. Dönemin edebi çalışmaları ve sanat eserleri her ne kadar lükse dair endişelerle karakterize olsa da İskoç Aydınlanması filozofları ticari toplumun ana dinamiklerini dikkate alarak lüksü yeniden düşünmüşlerdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı İskoç Aydınlanmasında lüksün, bir yandan David Hume ve Adam Smith, diğer yandan Adam Ferguson ve Henry Home–Lord Kames tarafından tartışıldığı bağlamları ortaya koymaktır. İlkin Hume’un, Mandeville’in belirlenimsiz lüks tanımını masum ve kötü lüks olarak ikiye ayırarak Smith’e giden yolu açtığından bahsedilecektir. Daha sonra, Smith’in lüksü olumlamak suretiyle temel ihtiyaçları onurlu bir yaşama yükselterek tartışmaya nasıl yön verdiğine, Ferguson’un lüksün ahlaki karakter üzerindeki olası olumsuz etkilerinin altını çizerek lüks konusunda niçin tereddütlü bir tarafta yer aldığına ve Kames ile birlikte lüks tartışmasının nasıl farklı bir boyut kazandığına değinilecektir. Sonuç olarak lüks üzerine tartışmalarda genel bir uzlaşıya varılamadığından dolayı İskoç Aydınlanmasında lükse dair ortak bir kavrayışın bulunmadığı gösterilecektir.

Reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions is of great importance in terms of environmental sustainability and air quality. This study is a review that examines various applications aimed at reducing NOx emissions. Below is a summary of the evaluation of technologies, including the common rail system, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), Miller cycle, direct water injection, emulsified fuel, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The common rail system, EGR, and Miller cycle can generally be considered as combustion control-based methods for reducing NOx within the cylinder. Direct water injection and emulsified fuel aim to lower temperatures inside the cylinder by utilizing the high internal heat of evaporation of water. Selective catalytic reduction is a technology where NOx in the exhaust gas is converted into nitrogen gas and water vapor through the use of a catalyst. This study evaluates the effectiveness and applicability of various technologies used to reduce NOx emissions. Each method may have different advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, there may be certain limitations and variations depending on the application areas of these methods. Therefore, a careful assessment is necessary to determine the most suitable technology or combination of technologies for reducing NOx emissions.
