Authors: Sanchotene Camila Yara dos Santos , Fischer Anna Claudia , Monteiro Thiago Campos , Punhagui Kátia Regina Garcia , Silva Dimas Agostinho da
Published: June 2024

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is an engineered wood material that has been used in civil construction in structural functions previously reserved for materials such as steel or concrete. As it is a renewable material and promotes carbon sequestration, its use in civil construction is linked to mitigating global warming promoted by the industry. However, the increase in demand for this material raises questions about sustainability and what the environmental burden would be resulting from its mass production. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an environmental management tool that can analyze this product chain as it maps and quantifies emissions and resource consumption from the production process, providing support for the calculation and analysis of environmental impacts. The goal of this study was to observe how the most recent research has been developed methodologically in terms of scope and what are the main scientific gaps presented in LCA studies of CLT material throughout its life cycle. To this end, a systematic literature review was carried out based on the Systematic Search Flow (SSF) method by Ferenhof and Fernandes (2014). The review points out the growing interest of the scientific community in the environmental profile of the product and the scope definitions were mostly cradle-to-grave study boundaries; the most applied functional unit is m² of building; impact analysis focus on quantifying global warming potential, energy resource consumption and carbon sequestration. The studies point to the end of life and the accounting of the material's biogenic emissions as scientific gaps, as well as the lack of studies with Brazilian data.

Published: June 2024

A revisão bibliográfica abrangente realizada neste estudo revelou uma relação complexa entre o uso de cigarros eletrônicos e a incidência de infartos. Estudos epidemiológicos recentes sugerem que o aumento do uso de cigarros eletrônicos está associado a um aumento preocupante na incidência de infartos, especialmente entre os jovens e adultos jovens. Os cigarros eletrônicos têm sido associados a diversos efeitos adversos sobre a saúde cardiovascular, incluindo aumento da pressão arterial, inflamação e disfunção endotelial. Esses efeitos podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares, incluindo infartos. Antes da introdução dos cigarros eletrônicos, a incidência de infartos estava predominantemente associada ao tabagismo tradicional. No entanto, com a popularização dos cigarros eletrônicos, a incidência de infartos entre os usuários desses dispositivos parece estar aumentando, especialmente entre os jovens. Esses resultados destacam a necessidade de políticas de saúde pública rigorosas para controlar o uso e a comercialização de cigarros eletrônicos, bem como de medidas educativas para informar a população sobre os riscos desses dispositivos para a saúde cardiovascular.

Introdução: Sabe-se que a infertilidade é um problema de saúde que afeta a população de todo o mundo, estimativas epidemiológicas indicam que cerca de 17% dos casais em idade reprodutiva enfrentam dificuldades para engravidar. Objetivo: Compreender quais práticas integrativas e complementares em saúde melhor se enquadram no que diz respeito à infertilidade, ou seja, as opções de tratamentos alternativos, sua eficácia e segurança. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica com pesquisa nos bancos de dados de periódicos online Scielo, PubMed e BVS. Foram utilizados descritores para a pesquisa, utilizando as combinações da seguinte forma: “Tratamento” “Infertilidade” juntos a cada uma das 29 práticas disponibilizadas hoje pelo SUS; “Medicina Tradicional” “Infertilidade”. Resultados: A abordagem terapêutica para a infertilidade tem sido voltada para a medicina ocidental há muito tempo. As PICS englobam os aspectos do indivíduo de forma holística, além de ser menos invasiva e em alguns casos, de baixo custo se comparada aos outros métodos, visto que, a união de duas ou mais terapias com a medicina convencional, podem ser um potencial forte para fertilidade, 9 das 29 terapias disponíveis no SUS tiveram seus benefícios mencionados. Considerações finais: Os resultados são benéficos em grupos pequenos e há necessidade de ensaios clínicos com uma amostra ampla, para que as mesmas sejam propostas como técnica ou adjuvante a casais que sofrem com essa enfermidade.

Published: June 2024

Estabelecer uma pensão para a manutenção dos filhos é uma medida crucial para garantir seu bem-estar e qualidade de vida após a separação dos pais. A pensão alimentícia é uma obrigação legal imposta aos pais para garantir que seus filhos tenham acesso a recursos financeiros suficientes para atender às suas necessidades básicas, como alimentação, moradia, educação e saúde. Essa medida visa proteger os direitos das crianças e garantir que elas não sejam prejudicadas pela separação dos pais. Ao estabelecer uma pensão alimentícia, os pais assumem a responsabilidade de contribuir financeiramente para o sustento de seus filhos, independentemente de sua situação conjugal. Isso ajuda a garantir que as crianças continuem a receber o apoio necessário para crescerem saudáveis, felizes e bem-sucedidas, mesmo em meio às mudanças familiares.  Além de garantir as necessidades básicas das crianças, a pensão alimentícia também pode ajudar a promover um relacionamento saudável entre os pais e seus filhos, ao demonstrar um compromisso contínuo com seu bem-estar e desenvolvimento. Isso pode contribuir para reduzir o estresse e a ansiedade das crianças durante períodos de transição familiar, proporcionando-lhes segurança emocional e estabilidade. Estabelecer uma pensão para a manutenção dos filhos é uma medida essencial para garantir seu bem-estar e qualidade de vida após a separação dos pais.

Authors: Christianti F. Yudha , Legiran Legiran
Published: June 2024

Errors in human DNA may cause genetic disorders. Technological developments have raised hopes for reducing the risks of genetic inheritance among married couples who have a history of such disorders. Among the developments in reproductive health technology that reduce those risks is the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. This review aimed to describe the current strategies using IVF and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), which would be effective for couples with genetic disorders to have healthy offspring. The literature review included full-text, open-access research articles from ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar that were published between 2013 and 2023, with 65 articles obtained from various journals. The keywords were ‘in vitro fertilization,’ ‘reproductive genetic disorders,’ ‘PGT-A,’ ‘PGT-M,’ ‘PGT-SR,’ and ‘oocyte donor.’ A total of 46 articles were selected as the most relevant to the review topic, and the results show that the IVF process can be an option for couples with a history of genetic disorders. Several additional procedures can be performed following IVF, such as oocyte donation and PGT, to help couples who want to have offspring without transmitting their genetic disorders. IVF can be an option for couples who have or carry genetic disorders. With IVF, couples can undertake several procedures such as oocyte donation and PGT for aneuploidy, monogenic disorders, or structural rearrangement.

Objective: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is known to influence the seminal and hormonal parameters of infected men. This study was performed to assess the effects of HCV clearance using direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents on semen and hormonal parameters. Methods: A total of 50 patients with chronic HCV were enrolled, and conventional semen analysis was performed according to World Health Organization guidelines. Basal levels of total testosterone, free testosterone (FT), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), prolactin, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) were assessed before and 3 months after treatment with DAAs.Results: Following DAA treatment, statistically significant increases were observed in sperm motility and the proportion of grade A sperm. Additionally, the percentage of abnormal forms was significantly decreased after treatment (p=0.000). However, no significant differences were observed in semen volume, concentration, or total sperm count. Sex hormone analysis of patients after DAA treatment revealed significant increases in FT, LH, and FSH levels, along with significant decreases in SHBG, prolactin, and E2 levels.Conclusion: Following HCV clearance, we noted an improvement in sperm motility and an increase in the percentage of sperm with normal morphology. Treatment with DAAs was also associated with increased levels of FT and LH, along with decreased levels of SHBG, prolactin, and E2.

A study was conducted for duration of six weeks on 240, day-old Cobb-430Y broiler strain chicks and randomly distributed to four groups each containing three replicates and 20 chicks per replicate. Group A was Negative Control (NC) contained 3% Low Protein (LP) diet containing 19.50, 18.00 and 16.50% crude protein (CP) for broiler pre-starter, starter and finisher phases, respectively. Positive Control (PC) group B contained standard protein 22.50, 21.00, and 19.50% CP as per breeder recommendation. No L-Glycine was added to NC and PC diets. Group C (NC+Gly1) was formulated by adding 0.640, 0.810, and 0.630% L-Glycine in  NC diet to arrive 2.30, 2.30, and 2.00% digestible (Dig.) Gly + Ser levels while group D (NC+Gly2) was formulated by supplementation of 0.755, 0.985, and 0.740% L-Glycine in NC diet to arrive 2.40, 2.40, and 2.10% digestible Gly + Ser levels in broiler pre starter, starter and finisher diets respectively. Digestible Gly + Ser levels of NC group were 1.71, 1.56 and 1.43%; and of  PC group were 2.02, 1.91 and 1.76%, respectively for broiler pre starter, starter and finisher diets. Ratio of dig. Met, Thr, Trp, Arg, and Val. ratioed to Lys. were balanced in all diets. All diets were isocaloric (3010, 3100, and 3200 kcal ME /kg) for broiler pre starter, starter and finishaer phases, respectively. Results showed that the L-Glycine supplementation in AA-balanced 3% LP diet did not affect per cent eviscerated yield, giblet yield, ready-to-cook yield, and breast meat yield but helped to reduce abdominal fat without altering serum biochemical parameters. Dig. Gly + Ser levels of 2.30, 2.30, and 2.00% (L-Glycine levels of 0.640, 0.810, and  0.630%) in 3% low protein (19.50, 18.00, and 16.50% CP) for broiler pre starter, starter and finisher diets helps to improve jejunal crypt depth leads to increasing cell renewal rate and maturation in the gut. Incorporation of L-Glycine is recommedded to maintain Dig. Gly + Ser levels of 2.30, 2.30, and 2.00% in broiler pre starter, starter and finisher phases with reduction of 3% CP in breeder recommended commercial broiler diet. Reducing dietary crude protein using L-Glysine without harming broiler performance could be economical.

Published: June 2024

Background: Ascitic fluid infection (AFI) is the most common bacterial infection in patients with cirrhosis and has several variants, including spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), bacterascites (BA), and culture-negative neutrocytic ascites (CNNA). Objectives: To date, there has been disagreement about the differences in clinical features and outcomes of these variants of AFI, and there are still few studies in this area. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a referral hospital from June 2018 to September 2022. All cirrhotic patients with ascites were evaluated for the presence of AFI. Patients with AFI were divided into SBP, BA, and CNNA variants. Non-AFI participants were also evaluated as a comparison group. The outcomes, as well as the clinical and laboratory characteristics of the variants of AFI, were compared. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis were used for survival analysis. Results: A total of 466 patients were studied, of which 132 (28.33%) were in the AFI group and 334 (71.67%) were in the non-AFI group. In the AFI group, 64 (48.48%) had SBP, 43 (32.58%) had CNNA, and 25 (18.94%) had BA. The most common bacteria causing AFI was Escherichia coli. SBP (HR 2.43; 95% CI 1.36 - 4.36; P = 0.003) significantly increased the risk of mortality, while CNNA and BA did not significantly increase this risk. The presence of hepatic encephalopathy and female gender also significantly increased the risk of mortality. Conclusions: The mortality risk was higher in patients with SBP compared to other types of AFI. This study also showed differences in clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters among the three types of AFI. Further research is recommended.
Choice of architecture of video surveillance systems of State Border Guard of Ukraine based on cloud and fog technologies
Authors: Babaryka A. , Basarab O. , Ploshchyk А. , Tabenskyi S.
Published: June 2024

Modern video surveillance systems have evolved from closed-circuit television systems to the level of complex systems that operate as part of complex integrated systems and solve the tasks of not only recording events in the sectors of view of video surveillance cameras but also analysing the received video information. The increase in the amount of information circulating in modern systems requires the creation of new concepts. In recent years, the attention of scientists has been drawn to distributed information processing technologies. The concept of cloud computing is developing rapidly, and the basic ideas that were laid down in its construction can no longer solve the problems faced by the technology. This has led to the emergence of so-called post-cloud architectures that extend and complement the capabilities of cloud computing. These architectures include Mist, Edge, Fog, etc.

The purpose of the article is to study video surveillance systems based on the concept of cloud and fog computing and criteria for assessing their effectiveness. The research was conducted using the methods of analysis and generalisation, modelling, and experimentation. This approach made it possible to conduct a comparative study of video surveillance systems built on two architectures. The results obtained indicate that fog computing technology has the advantage of reducing latency, minimising the need for repeated requests to the cloud by performing calculations at the cloud edge. In a model based on the cloud computing concept, services that use cloud resources lead to an increase in network load. At the same time, fog computing technology allows you to relieve the network load by performing part of the computation by fog nodes.

The results of the experimental study show the advantages of fog computing for networks that are sensitive to delays. However, if we consider a video surveillance system with the main task of recording events in the sectors of view of CCTV cameras and the ability to view video information in real time, it is obvious that fog nodes will not provide long-term storage of video information, and delays will not be critical. In the case of a video surveillance system with video analytics functions, fog nodes will be able to perform part of the video analytics algorithms, thus unloading the cloud. Therefore, an urgent task is to study the effectiveness of building video surveillance systems with video analytics functions based on fog architecture.
Mathematical model of single-channel search for signals of mobile radio communications with one degree of detection in the frequency-time domain.
Authors: Ilnytskyi A. , Zakharchuk L.
Published: June 2024

In the context of a full-scale invasion and military operations for Ukraine's independence, the issues of radio monitoring of radio emission sources of telecommunication networks and systems are gaining special attention and require fundamentally new approaches to the level of informatization, technical implementation and increase of their efficiency.

Today, the technical means of radio interception, monitoring and direction finding in the networks of mobile radio communication systems are realized in the form of software and hardware complexes, the most important performance indicators of which are considered to be speed, accuracy of detection and probability of recognition of mobile radio communication means with their information content. At the same time, these issues still remain problematic and require further development of methods and techniques for searching and detecting signals of mobile radio communications in both frequency and time telecommunication channels and their information processing.

To solve this issue, the authors propose a mathematical model for searching for mobile radio signals in the frequency-time domain with one degree of detection. The description of the mathematical model for determining the spectral components of signals in the frequency and time domains is carried out using the basic provisions of the theory of directed probability graphs, geometric probabilities with its well-known problem of meeting in a given time interval, and the theoretical foundations of statistical information processing.

The analysis of the proposed model shows that the probability of successful completion of the search for a signal with one degree of detection in the frequency-time domain for a given time depends on the value of the signal duration, the number of analyzed frequency channels, the time of signal analysis in each channel, and the probabilities of errors of the first and second kinds The article presents the results of calculations of the value of the probability of successful completion of the signal search as a function of the search time at different values of the analysis time. It is shown that the application of the mathematical model of single-channel search for signals of mobile radio communication means with one degree of detection in the frequency-time domain in practice will make it possible to determine the quality of the radio monitoring process and increase the efficiency of evaluating the spectral components of radio signals in terms of speed, detection accuracy and probability of recognition of mobile radio communication means with further determination of their information content.
A model of the improved NOMA algorithm based on representation and modulation.
Authors: Fomin M.
Published: June 2024

For the successful implementation of mobile communication networks in the spectral range of 30-300 GHz, it is necessary to solve several problems related to terminal subscriber devices. And one of the main problems is to be blocked by small line-of-sight transmission objects. Ways to solve this problem are densification of cellular infrastructure in the terahertz range with the help of mobile mobile communication nodes, as well as the use of simultaneous connection of subscriber terminals to two or more cells at the same time [1; 2].

In this work, an improved NOMA algorithm based on relaying and modulation called M-СО-NOMA is proposed to solve this problem. Unlike the known ones, it differs in that, firstly, before broadcasting into the radio air in the first time slot, terminal devices are clustered in the service area of the base station of the mobile network using the algorithm for estimating the fractal dimension and, secondly, during the formation of the general transport signal for terminal devices of subscribers, the base station modulates the signals of remote users on the quadrature, and the signals of nearby users on the real component of the QPSK constellation.

The proposed improved M-CO-NOMA algorithm eliminates the main drawbacks of NOMA by introducing orthogonality at the stage of signal preparation instead of including it in the spectrum. It is shown that the proposed improved algorithm is effective in terms of such indicators as the reduction of SER, computational complexity, and interference compared to the usual NOMA.

In addition, the integrated solution based on M-NOMA and СО-NOMA made it possible to obtain new innovative opportunities for ensuring data transmission when blocking direct transmission in the terahertz frequency range due to auxiliary signal relaying between subscribers. Calculation of the information efficiency of the developed integrated solution showed that for systems with NOMA and M-СО-NOMA, this indicator is equal to 4.50 e-2 and 6.00 e-2, respectively. Thus, the calculated information efficiency value of the M-CO-NOMA system is 1.5 times greater than that of NOMA.

Inclusive education and practices of inclusion hold a very important place in the life of children with special needs. It has been defined in various ways to address the learning needs of special children. In almost every country, inclusive education and its practices have emerged as one of the dominant issues in education. Many initiatives and efforts have been taken at International and National forums to support inclusive education and its practices. The present research was conducted to study the status of Inclusive Practices for Children with Special Needs in government and private schools of Lucknow, India. The data was collected from the five government and five private secondary schools of Lucknow through self prepared questionnaire on inclusive practices. Simple percentage method was used to analyse the data. The results of the study revealed that Inclusive practices were more or less available in all the government and private schools of Lucknow which were part of the study. No school was found which had all the four categories of inclusive practices available in all. From the comparison among government and private schools, it can be concluded that private schools were more prepared and equipped in providing inclusive practices to CWSN whereas government schools were not so prepared and equipped. It can be concluded that inclusiveness can’t not be successful alone. To make inclusive practices more successful schools should work with all the stakeholders like teachers, parents, peers and community. School administration should work in the direction of making schools more inclusive for children with special needs.

Published: June 2024

Supply-Chain Management constitutes a network of facilities responsible for various operations, encompassing the acquisition of raw materials, storage, transportation, resource transformation into finished products, and the distribution of these goods to consumers. Despite being conceptually straightforward, effectively managing such a system in practice can present challenges. To tackle inefficiencies and cost-saving opportunities, different technologies are being explored. One promising contender in this regard is blockchain, which offers innovative solutions to transform the landscape. This study proposes an inventive supply-chain system leveraging blockchain technology to address the limitations of conventional approaches. By employing a distributed, immutable, and highly reliable ledger concept, the suggested Blockchain system facilitates transparent record-keeping and provenance tracking at a reduced cost, all without the need for a third-party intermediary. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated using Hyperledger Fabric in the presented paper.

Araştırma cerrahi kliniklerde çalışan hemşirelerin preoperatif hasta eğitimi konusundaki uygulamaları ve yaklaşımlarının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla planlandı. Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırma, Bitlis Devlet Hastanesi ve Bitlis/Tatvan Devlet Hastanesi’nde yapıldı. Araştırmanın evrenini cerrahi kliniklerde çalışan tüm hemşireler (N:55), örneklemini ise gönüllü toplam 48 hemşire oluşturdu. Verilerin toplanmasında anket formu kullanılmış olup SPSS 20.0 paket programında tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılarak analiz edildi. Hemşirelerin yaş ortalamasının 27,29±3,57 yıl, %60,4’ünün kadın, %77,1’inin lisans mezunu olduğu görüldü. Hemşirelerin tamamının preoperatif hasta eğitimi verdiği, %75’inin eğitim vermek için kendini yeterli gördüğü, %20,8’inin ise hasta eğitimini hemşirenin sorumlulukları arasında görmediği saptandı. Hemşirelerin %41,7’sinin hasta eğitimini ameliyattan önceki gün öğleden sonra uyguladığı, %83,3’ünün sadece sözel anlatım yöntemini kullandığı, %33,3’ünün eğitimi uygulamalı olarak yapmadığı saptandı. Hemşirelerin en çok ameliyat sabahı hazırlığı (%97,9), hastaneye gelme zamanı (%95,8), preoperatif oral alımın kısıtlanması ve tetkikler (%93,8) hakkında, en az ise postoperatif derlenme ünitesi/yoğun bakım süreci (%31,3), ameliyathane ortamı (%43,8) ve yatak içi egzersizleri (%56,3) hakkında eğitim verdikleri saptandı.

OBJECTIVE

Acetaminophen (APAP) is an alternative to indomethacin and ibuprofen for treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The side effect profile of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) presents enteral feeding safety concerns; however, the safety of enteral feeding on APAP is largely unknown. Optimal feeding strategies during pharmacological PDA treatment are unknown, leading to practice variation. This study aims to assess the incidence of adverse gastrointestinal (GI) outcomes in neonates treated with APAP for PDA closure while receiving enteral feedings.

METHODS

Single-center retrospective cohort study of 59 extremely low birth weight (ELBW), premature neonates who received APAP for PDA treatment divided into Low Volume (LV; ≤ 20 mL/kg/day) and High Volume (HV; > 20 mL/kg/day) enteral feeding groups. The primary outcome was the incidence of any suspected or confirmed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Timing of nutrition milestones, parenteral nutrition (PN) days, and adverse outcomes (feeding intolerance, liver dysfunction, death prior to discharge) were evaluated.

RESULTS

The incidence of suspected or confirmed NEC was 19.5% in the LV group and 13.3% in the HV group (p = 0.593). The HV group reached full feeds 6 days sooner (18 vs 24 days, p = 0.024) and had fewer PN days (17 vs 23.5 days, p = 0.044) with no difference in adverse outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

Provision of > 20 mL/kg/day of enteral feeds during APAP treatment of PDA decreased time to full feeds and PN days compared to trophic feedings (≤ 20 mL/kg/day) with no difference in adverse GI outcomes. Continuing enteral feeding during APAP PDA treatment appears safe while improving achievement of nutritional milestones.
The Impact of Ethical Leadership on Innovative Work Behavior: The Role of Perceived Organizational Support, Proactive Personality and Psychological Safety
Authors: Riani Hana Eva , Harsono Mugi
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to examine the effects of moderation of perceptions of organizational support and proactive personality as well as psychological safety mediation in the influence of ethical leadership on innovative work behavior. Data analysis was carried out using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method using  SmartPLS software version 4 on 195 employees at Bagas Waras Klaten Hospital. The results of this study show a direct and significant influence between ethical leadership and innovative work behavior and perceptions of organizational support, and ethical leadership encourages innovative work behavior mediated by psychological safety. Perceptions of organizational support moderate the relationship between ethical leadership and innovative work behavior. However, in this study, proactive personalities were found not to moderate the influence of ethical leadership on innovative work behavior.
