Linear Time-Invariant Approximations of Nonlinear Time-Periodic Systems
Authors: Saetti Umberto , Horn Joseph F.
Published: July 2022

This paper discusses the development of a numerical method for the approximation of the nonlinear time-periodic rotorcraft flight dynamics with higher order linear time-invariant (LTI) models. The method relies on a per-rotor revolution perturbation scheme, which is of particular importance
for the linearization of simulation models that do not allow for per-time-step perturbations, and for those output measures that necessitate the solution of partial differential equations and thus require several time steps to be computed. The paper demonstrates the application of the proposed
methodology to obtain high-order LTI models capable of predicting vibrations for a generic utility helicopter. Simulations are used to validate the response of the linearized models against those from nonlinear simulations and from competing approaches in the literature. The proposed method
is shown to predict accurately the nonlinear response for the case shown and for small amplitude maneuvers. Frequency-domain validation is also performed to compare the linear models derived with the proposed method with those obtained with harmonic decomposition, a competing approach based
on a per-time-step perturbation scheme. Interestingly, the proposed algorithm yields nearly identical numerical results compared to harmonic decomposition, suggesting that the two methods are in fact equivalent but rely on different formulations.
Inappropriate Topical Antibiotics Use in Clean Dermatological Procedures in South Korea in 2018: A Nationwide Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Park Min Soo , Kim Ki Duk , Eun Sang Jun
Published: July 2022

Background: The use of topical antibiotics (TA) for prophylactic purposes after clean dermatologic procedures (CDP) is generally not recommended, and the prescription of TA needs to be individualized in consideration of each patient’s situation and underlying disease. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of patients who underwent CDP in outpatient settings and were prescribed TA inappropriately, as well as the factors that may affect the prescription of TA.Methods: Outpatient visits coded for CDP were selected using claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in 2018. Of these, patients receiving TA prescriptions were classified as having inappropriate TA use, and the proportion was estimated through technical analysis. A logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing inappropriate prescriptions.Results: Data were analyzed using 423,651 visits, and TA was prescribed for approximately 1.9% of the visits. TA usage was higher among women (2.0%), 0–19 years of age (2.2%), medical aid (2.2%), clinic settings (2.4%), and metropolitan areas (2.0%). TA was prescribed more frequently in urology (8.6%), pediatrics (5.0%), and dermatology (4.2%) than in other specialties.Conclusion: The prescription rate of TA after CDP was 1.9% using the 1.4 million patient sample from the national health insurance claims data in Korea, which is equally weighted to represent 50 million people. Although the proportion of inappropriate TA prescriptions in Korea is lower than that in other nations, it cannot be overlooked because of the large number of cases. Efforts to improve quality are required to reduce the number of inappropriate prescriptions.

Background: Folic acid is involved in inflammatory reactions; however, the association between folic acid and allergic diseases, particularly asthma, remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the association between serum folic acid levels and asthma in Koreans.Methods: This study analyzed the serum folic acid levels of 6,615 individuals included in the 2016–2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The prevalence of asthma was determined using a questionnaire that identified cases of physician-diagnosed asthma. The relationship between serum folic acid levels and asthma was analyzed using logistic regression analysis.Results: Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that a 1 ng/mL increase in serum folic acid level significantly reduced the risk of asthma after adjusting for confounding factors including sex, age, household income, current smoking, current alcohol use, and body mass index (odds ratio [OR], 0.930; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.876– 0.987; P=0.017). The relationship between the adjusted odds of asthma and serum folic acid levels were consistently inverse (OR, 2.266; 95% CI, 1.126–4.420; P for trend=0.038).Conclusion: Serum folic acid levels are inversely associated with physician-diagnosed asthma in the Korean population.

Authors: Shin Ji Yeh , Kim Ha Jin , Cho BeLong , Yang Yun Jun , Yun Jae Moon
Published: July 2022

Background: Continuity of care in primary care settings is crucial for managing diabetes. We aimed to statistically define and analyze continuity factors associated with demographics, clinical workforce, and geographical relationships.Methods: We used 2014–2015 National Health Insurance Service claims data from the Korean registry, with 39,096 eligible outpatient attendance. We applied multivariable logistic regression to analyze factors that may affect the continuity of care indices for each patient: the most frequent provider continuity index (MFPCI), modified-modified continuity index (MMCI), and continuity of care index (COCI).Results: The mean continuity of care indices were 0.90, 0.96, and 0.85 for MFPCI, MMCI and COCI, respectively. Among patient factors, old age >80 years (MFPCI: odds ratio [OR], 0.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74–0.89; MMCI: OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.76–0.92; and COCI: OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.74–0.89) and mild disability were strongly associated with lower continuity of care. Another significant factor was the residential area: the farther the patients lived from their primary care clinic, the lower the continuity of diabetes care (MFPCI: OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.70–0.78; MMCI: OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.66–0.73; and COCI: OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.70–0.78).Conclusion: The geographical proximity of patients’ residential areas and clinic locations showed the strongest correlation as a continuity factor. Further efforts are needed to improve continuity of care to address the geographical imbalance in diabetic care.

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT

Context:

Workplace-based assessment (WPBA) is an essential component of competency-based assessment addressing the “does” level. The study was planned to understand the perceptions and experiences of medical faculties with WPBA for its formal adoption under CBME.

Aim:

To obtain faculty perceptions and their experiences with WPBA as a medical educator. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional survey was conducted as a part of an online web discussion on WPBA among 38 faculties.

Materials and Methods:

The information was collected through an online semi-structured questionnaire and data were analyzed using percentages, proportions, and themes.

Results:

The majority were 31–50 years, females and professors. Directly observed procedural skills (DOPS), case-based discussion (CBD), and logbooks were commonly used tools. The challenges in WPBA practice were hesitancy, time constraints, lack of resources, complexity of tools, and pandemic situation.

Conclusions:

practice of WPBA tools was perceived positively, however a huge gap was noticed between knowledge and practice of WPBA tools.

Authors: Maurya Harshita , Singh Vibha , Mohammad Shadab , Singh Geeta , Aggrawal Amiya , Gautam Shefali , Tiwari Tanmay
Published: July 2022

Purpose:

The behavior of trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) is limited to few case reports only in maxillofacial surgery, especially for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis cases. The present study aims to find out the incidence of bradycardia due to TCR during intraoperative forceful mouth opening in TMJ ankylosis patients.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective, unicentric observational study was conducted selecting those patients who were planned for osteoarthrectomy with interpositional gap arthroplasty under general anesthesia. Sixty cases of TMJ ankylosis were randomly selected from December 2018 to-03-2020. Predictor variables were patient age, gender, and type of ankylosis, and outcome variables were pulse rate, mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), and oxygen saturation level (SPO2). Data were recorded at baseline and during intraoperative mouth opening via heister jaw stretcher. A Chi-square test was used for testing the association between variables. P values were considered statistically significant at <0.05.

Results:

The sample size of 60 subjects has been divided into two age groups (10–19) years and (20–40) years. The mean standard deviation age of the patients was 18.32 ± 6.81 years. About 63.3% were male. Out of 60 cases, 14 patients developed bradycardia. The frequency of bradycardia was found 23.3%. According to logistic regression analysis, age and type of ankylosis were the significant predictors of bradycardia.

Conclusion:

We conclude that bradycardia due to TCR in TMJ ankylosis patients is not an uncommon entity. Incidences are more prevalent in the age group of 10–19 years and type IV bony ankylosis. Male had a high incidence of bradycardia though P value was nonsignificant.

Published: July 2022

The cephalometric norms for orthognathic surgery (COGS analysis) are the standard benchmark in cephalometrics for any orthognathic surgical diagnosis and treatment planning. Since the introduction of cephalometrics by Broadbent, numerous studies have been conducted to establish craniofacial norms of different ethnicities. Most of these studies, however, determined craniofacial norms for Caucasian people and may not be applicable to other ethnic groups due to differences in their facial appearance. Therefore, it is essential to study and compare the existing cephalometric parameters between Caucasians and Indians to validate their application during the treatment planning of the orthognathic surgery. This review focuses on studying the cephalometric norms for the North Indian (NI) population and establishing the COGS analysis for the population of North India. The objective is to determine the cephalometric parameters of Angle's dental and skeletal Class I faces for the NI population. The following databases were searched for the present study -PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and EMBASE. The initial inclusion criteria comprised studies written in English and quoting cephalometric norms in Indian population. The time period of publications was not determined. The quality features evaluated were sample description, variables analyzed, and how cephalometric standards were evaluated. Initially, 49 articles were retrieved. After removal of the duplicated records and assessing for the eligibility, four articles met the inclusion criteria. These four articles were included in the systematic review. The NI people are characterized by having small cranial base, short facial height, protrusive chin, and more inclination of mandibular incisors in comparison with Caucasians. Due to limited research on the Central Indian cephalometric norms, the Caucasian norms are still referred for the diagnosis and treatment planning of orthognathic surgery for NI population.

OBJECTIVES: Geographical variation in the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for ischemic heart disease (IHD) among municipalities has not been assessed in Japan. Additionally, associations between area-level socioeconomic deprivation indices and IHD mortality have not been identified in Japan. The present study investigated this association.METHODS: Information on IHD mortality was extracted from Vital Statistics data from 2018 to 2020 for each municipality in Japan. The socioeconomic deprivation level was derived from multiple socioeconomic characteristics. We classified municipalities into quintiles based on the deprivation level and investigated the association between the deprivation level and the SMR of IHD. Additionally, a Bayesian spatial regression model was used to investigate this association, adjusting for other municipal characteristics.RESULTS: Geographical variation in the SMR of IHD was revealed, and municipalities with high SMRs were spatially clustered. There was a weak negative correlation between the socioeconomic deprivation level and the SMRs (correlation coefficient, -0.057 for men and -0.091 for women). In contrast, the regression analysis showed a statistically significant positive association between deprived areas and the IHD mortality rate, and the relative risks for the most deprived municipalities compared with the least deprived municipalities were 1.184 (95% credible interval [CrI], 1.110 to 1.277) and 1.138 (95% CrI, 1.048 to 1.249) for men and women, respectively.CONCLUSIONS: A weak negative correlation between the socioeconomic deprivation level and the SMR was observed in the descriptive analysis, while the regression analysis showed that living in deprived areas was statistically positively associated with the IHD mortality rate.

OBJECTIVES: Early diagnosis is essential for effective tuberculosis (TB) control programs. Therefore, this study examined the risk of delays in TB diagnosis and associated factors in Ardabil Province in northwest Iran from 2005 to 2016.METHODS: This longitudinal retrospective cohort study was conducted using data obtained from the Iranian National Tuberculosis Control Program at the provincial level between 2005 and 2016. The total delay in diagnosis was defined as the time interval (days) between the onset of symptoms and TB diagnosis. Survival analysis was conducted to analyze the delay in diagnosis. Associated factors were identified using a Cox proportional hazards model.RESULTS: A total of 1,367 new TB cases were identified. The 12-year median diagnostic delay was 45 days (interquartile range [IQR], 30-87). The annual median diagnostic delay decreased from 68 days (IQR, 33-131) in 2005 to 31 days (IQR, 30-62) in 2016. The probability of a delay in TB diagnosis decreased by 5.0% each year (hazard ratio [HR], 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 1.07). Residence in a non-capital county (HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.74 to 0.92) and referral from the private health system (HR, 0.74%; 95% CI, 0.65 to 0.84) were significantly associated with an increased risk of delay in TB diagnosis over the 12-year study period.CONCLUSIONS: The median delay decreased during the study period. We identified factors associated with a longer delay in TB diagnosis. These findings may be useful for further TB control plans and policies in Iran.

In a fire incident, fire fighters struggle too much for the safety of our communities. This study explored the challenges encountered by the BFP of Ozamiz City in responding fire incidents. It utilized the phenomenological research design. It was participated by the Bureau of Fire Protection in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental. Interview responses were analyzed using Moussakas' Transcendental phenomenological reduction. This study generated five themes: (1) Scarcity in Responding Fire Incident, (2) An Arduous work that Demands Physical and Psychological Strength, (3) Frustration in the Work, (4) Collaboration and Cooperation in Fire Safety and Prevention, (5) Serving the People. In this study, the researcher analyzed the data using the narrative and phenomenology methods of Moustakas for the gathering of information through open-ended and conversational communication. As a result, most of the participants have different challenges encountered in responding fire incident. These challenges made an impact physically and mentally which is extremely stressful and draining during a fire incident. On the other hand, the participants have learned how to maintain active connection with the public, promote fire safety, and raise the number of force multipliers. Further, the BFP should have the full support of the community when an emergency occurs. Lastly, the participants have sensible of their actions. To mitigate firefighter life-safety concerns and achieve successfully fireground outcomes, it is critically important for firefighters to have the necessary preparedness capabilities to respond. Firefighter preparedness consists of technical and contextual knowledge, specialized training, and firefighting experience.

Core Questions and Part III. Terminating Questions as an interview guide. The study consists of a total of 10 participants who are PNP personnel in Liloan Border and Ozamis Port. The researchers purposive choose five participants every border at Misamis Occidental. The participants were interviewed under the following criteria: 1) experience with implementing the border entrance requirements, 2) Difficulties encountered in performing the duties, 3) Common excuse upon entering the border. Non-compliance to Border Entry, Encountered travellers bringing forged document requirements, Professionalism in Handling Arrogant travellers, adhering to Border and protocol requirements in travelling. There were several problems or issues encountered by the PNP in the border majority is having no requirements as the same time against by their religion or having a Doctor‟s advices as reasons against vaccination. As the researcher conduct this study they seen the efforts of the PNP in enforcing the law by maintaining their patience towards from the passengers who have arrogant attitude. But in the other hand they already know that every passenger entering the border line they have vaccination cards in order for them to pass through. The IATF is no longer strict about the protocol and they also know lots of the travelers are already vaccinated. The study in the non-compliance in border many have not yet getting vaccinated but the IATF issue in the border to have free vaccination in the area, some of the travellers will not proceed in the province if they have no requirements needed in border.

Upotreba i funkcija zareza u Sijarićevoj priči „Slikaˮ
Authors:   State University of Novi Pazar, Department of Philology, Bjelak Adnan H.
Published: July 2022

This paper deals with the linguistic analysis of material excerpted from the story “Slikaˮ, which is an integral part of the collection entitled Priče iz hiljadu i jedne noći. The use of comma as a punctuation mark, which is the bearer of stylistic effects in the context of the story is analyzed. Sijarić uses commas in various ways, which leads to the conclusion that his oral speech is closely connected with its written form. Therefore, at times, Sijarić’s text gives the impression of spontaneity, which can be seen as a result of his current thoughts and the way of speaking. The author uses commas to emphasize contextually important parts of the text, to replace independent clauses conjunctions forming asyndetic syntactic structures, to replace other punctuation marks, to separate nouns in the vocative case, to indicate inversion, and as a strong stylistic device emphasizing the qualitative characteristics of the described person and/or object. The analysis of the material has shown that the use of comma as a punctuation mark is justified.

Interlingual homonyms and paronyms in English and Serbian are common, especially when it comes to translation. Students often make mistakes in translating certain English terms, and such couples are known as false friends. The paper analyzes the corpus of English professional terms from the textbook Oxford English for Careers, Nursing 1, Oxford University Press, by Tony Grice. A comparative method was used to analyze their definitions from the dictionaries of both languages, with the intention to find the cause of translation errors on the basis of lexical-semantic analysis. Oxford English Serbian Student’s Dictionary was used for Eng- lish terms, while Rečnik srpskog jezika Matice srpske and Leksikon stranih reči i izraza by Milan Vujaklija were consulted for terms in Serbian. The results showed that the incorrect translation was mainly due to interlingual paronymy, due to which the students were guided by analogy in sound similarity with Serbian words. A difference was noticed between medical terms that are both formally and semantically similar to Serbian words and terms that are only close in form.

In this paper “the minority media” in Serbia are viewed from a semantical perspective which does not exclusively include information in the languages of national minori- ties; they are deliberated in broader theoretical key encompassing the meanings surpassing the categories of national and ethnic. “Minority media” as an alternative to the “majority” ones, are observed as a “communi- cational channel” of national minorities in Serbia both on the regional and local level, but also as the media of the civil society, marginalized and socially deprived groups and entities with specific cultural needs. In digital communication environment and owing to the rapid development of the Inter- net and media services suiting the new needs and expectations of the audience, different condi- tions for deliberation and re-examining of the traditional model of functioning of the “minority media” have been created. Their future development shall depend on technical and technological possibilities for formal innovations, and also on the new financing models and creative solutions and experiments linked with media content makers and producers.

The correlation coefficient matrix finding shows that low, moderate, and negative correlation in pre-COVID19 and post-COVID19 has a highly positive correlation found between the selected volatility estimators. RogersSatchell, Standard deviation has the first rank, and Garman-Klass has the last position in the pre-post covid19 analysis volatility estimators. However, the authors find that the significant effect of pre-post covid19 on E7 countries in the world. The findings key implication is the volatility of post-covid-19 gets higher than that of pre-COVID19. It suggests that investors need to adjust their financial portfolio to focus on which sectors are less influenced by COVID19. Moreover, it gives an early warning signal for investors and the government to take precautionary action for possible it even occurs in the future.

Bu çalışmada, üniversite gençliğinin sosyal medya kullanım motivasyonlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel yaklaşıma dayalı betimleyici araştırma tasarımının uygulandığı araştırma, Aksaray Üniversitesi örneğinde 2021-2022 Akademik Yılı Güz Döneminde yürütülmüştür. Gupta ve Bashir (2018) tarafından geliştirilen sosyal ağ kullanım ölçeğinin kullanıldığı anket, basit tesadüfi örneklem yoluyla seçilen 400 öğrenciye uygulanmış, geçerli 382 anket incelemeye alınmıştır. Ölçekte, sosyal medya kullanımına dayalı 19 ifade yer almaktadır. Ayrıca ankette demografik sorular ve sosyal medya kullanım alışkanlıklarını belirlemeyi amaçlayan 8 soru ve toplamda 27 madde bulunmaktadır. Üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal medya kullanımında eğlence, eğitim-öğretim, bilgi edinme ve sosyalleşme-kimlik edinme alt boyutlarından oluşan Cronbach’s Alpha İç Tutarlılık Katsayısına (α= .887) sahip 4 faktör alt boyutu elde edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin en çok tercih ettiği sosyal medya platformu Instagram’dır. İkinci sırada WhatsApp ve 3. sırada YouTube gelmektedir. Platform tercihi bakımından kadın öğrenciler ve erkek öğrenciler arasında farklılık bulunmamaktadır. Üniversite gençliğinin sosyal medya kullanım süreleri oldukça yüksektir. Günde en az 1 saat olmak üzere genç kuşağın sosyal medyada kalma oranı yüzde 90’ları bulmaktadır. Günde en az 3 saat olmak üzere sosyal medyada zaman geçirenlerin oranı ise yüzde 72 seviyesine ulaşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin sosyal medya kullanım motivasyonları ile kullanım sıklığı ve gelir düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir farklılaşma söz konusudur. Sosyal medyada daha uzun süre vakit geçirenler ve yüksek gelir düzeyine sahip öğrenciler eğlence, bilgi edinme ve sosyalleşme-kimlik edinme faktörlerine daha fazla önem vermektedir. Sosyal medyanın gençlik üzerindeki etkilerini ölçmek amacıyla sorunlu internet kullanımı ve bağımlılık ölçekleri kullanılarak yeni ve özgün çalışmalar yürütülmelidir. Böylece sosyal medya kullanım alışkanlıklarının yanında, patolojik sosyal medya kullanımının fiziksel ve psikolojik etkileri belirlenebilecektir.

The mineral composition and gemological characteristics of interior-jewelry ammonites from the Upper Jurassic of the Ulyanovsk Region have first been studied in detail. The ammonites are characterized by a pearl layer showing a bright varycolored iridescence. A complex of ammonite investigations comprised determinations of their microhardness, density, and luminescence; their optical-petrographic analysis; determinations of the mineral and chemical composition; and the electron-probe and electron-microscopic investigations. The ammonites consist mainly of apatite (22-88 wt. % ) and calcite (6-64 wt. %). Quartz, gypsum, pyrite, zeolites, ilmenite, rutile, goethite, zircon, and organic matter are present. Impurity elements recorded in elevated concentrations are (in wt. % ) Sr, 0.237; Ba, 0.011; and Pb, 0.023; and those recorded in low concentrations (less than 0.01 wt. %) are Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, U, Th, Y, and As. The outer walls and septa of an ammonite shell have completely lost their original aragonite composition and consist of apatite and calcite with inclusions of pyrite and organic matter. The pearl layer iridescence is related to lamellar layers of apatite, that inherited the structure of lamellar layers of aragonite. The iridescence color is determined by the size and order of the lamellars and does not depend on their mineral composition. Ammonites of the Ulyanovsk Region are of commercial interest as interior-decorative specimens. Internal fragments of the shells can be used in jewelry. Ammonites are collected in steep ravine walls, which requires no capital investment and does not violate the environment.
