Published: April 2023

Background: The B.1.1.7 SARS-CoV-2 variant results in spike gene target failure (SGTF) in reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Few studies have been published on the clinical impact of B.1.1.7/SGTF. Aims: To assess the incidence of B.1.1.7/SGTF and its associated clinical characteristics among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Methods: This observational, single-centre, cohort study was conducted between December 2020 and February 2021 and included 387 hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The Kaplan–Meier method was used for survival analysis, and logistic regression to identify risk factors associated with B.1.1.7/SGTF. Results: By February 2021, B.1.1.7/SGTF (88%) dominated the SARS-CoV-2 PCR results in a Lebanese hospital. Of the 387 eligible COVID-19 patients confirmed by SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR, 154 (40%) were non-SGTF and 233 (60%) were B.1.1.1.7/SGTF; this was associated with a higher mortality rate among female patients [22/51 (43%) vs 7/37 (19%); P = 0.0170]. Among patients in the B.1.1.7/SGTF group, most were aged ≥ 65 years [162/233 (70%) vs 74/154 (48%); P < 0.0001]. Independent predictors of B.1.1.7/SGTF infection were hypertension (OR = 0.415; CI: 0.242–0.711; P = 0.0010), age ≥ 65 years (OR = 0.379; CI: 0.231–0.622; P < 0.0001), smoking (OR = 1.698; CI: 1.023–2.819; P = 0.0410), and cardiovascular disease (OR = 3.812; CI: 2.215–6.389; P < 0.0001). Only non-SGTF patients experienced multi-organ failure [5/154 (4%) vs 0/233 (0%); P = 0.0096]. Conclusion: There was a clear difference between the clinical features associated with B.1.1.7/SGTF and non-SGTF lineages. Tracking viral evolution and its clinical impact is crucial for proper understanding and management of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Artificial Intelligence as a Threat and a Competition via a Contemporary English Lexical Units
Authors: Belozerova E. Yu.
Published: April 2023

The article examines 36 lexical units on the example of eight articles published on the online news resource CNBC in the Business sector dated in the first half of February 2023. The phrases under analysis refer to the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The relevance of this research is due to the popularity of the topic. The subject of the research are the key lexical units used in the articles to present and identify two selected categories: AI as a threat and unsettlement and AI as a competition and economic changes. The work aims to select and study the received vocabulary for further grouping in order to reflect the understanding of the AI process within two categories. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the quality of the material (contemporary business English publications), as well as an attempt to establish the key functional groups in the world of Artificial Intelligence due to the selected categories. The main method of the research is an inductive approach to the analysis of empirical material, in which conclusions are based on the study of specific lexical units. The result of the analysis reveals a general view of the key functional groups represented by selected lexical units. The results of the research can be used in further linguistic analyses on the given topic as well as have practical usage in language classes studying the topic of Artificial Intelligence.
Discursive and Stylistic Analysis of Digital Communications in Public Administration: Stating a Problem
Authors: Bazhenova E. A. , Shirinkina M. A.
Published: April 2023

The transmission of information through electronic technologies leads to the transformation of the texts that provide a dialogue between government and society. New qualities of these texts (“hypertext”, “interactivity”, “multimodality”, etc.) significantly distinguish electronic materials from traditional written texts. In this connection, the article raises the problem of a new object of speech studies: so called media product. To solve this problem, the authors propose a transdisciplinary approach based on the achievements of adjacent sciences: functional stylistics, discourse theory, management theory, jurisprudence, sociology, psychology and others. Within the limits of the problem posed, the authors’ attention is focused on a number of actual tasks of speech studies: a. genre-stylistic classification of digital texts presented by executive authorities; b. identification of means of text influence on the addressee in a media dialogue between the authorities and society; c. working out of recommendations on creating digital texts of high quality. The scale of the problem posed is conditioned by multitasking of public administration, the influence of numerous discursive factors on power - society communication, by diversity of media texts created by public administration. The scientific significance of the study of digital content of executive authorities is determined by the need to clarify the discursive and stylistic features of actual official - business communication. Within the framework of this communication media products of various genre and format types are created: from traditional official texts to the texts bordering on other functional styles. These types of the Russian executive authorities’ texts have not yet received a comprehensive linguistic description. The novelty of this task is determined by a. minimal exploration of media products of the Russian administration texts; b. the introduction of the concept executive authorities’ digital discourse (i. e., digitally designed discourse) into scholarly use; c. the need for a professional audit of efficiency of the authorities’ dialogue with the public.

Background: Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a rare osteosclerotic dysplasia. It is usually asymptomatic and diagnosis is made incidentally by radiographic findings. It has a unique radiographic presentation with multiple small, well-defined, circular, or ovoid radiodensities which are distributed symmetrically in the epiphysis and metaphysis of long bones. Aim of the work: In this case report, a 38-year-old man with mild joint discomfort was diagnosed with OPK according to his radiographic findings and literature review. Conclusion: It is important to diagnose OPK and to distinguish it from other medical conditions to calm the patient and to reduce unnecessary investigation.
Systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma presenting as renal crisis, a case report and review of the literature
Authors: Urvi V Patel , Navdeep Sangha , Andrew Rettew
Published: April 2023

Systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma is a rare subset of systemic sclerosis with isolated organ involvement. Scleroderma renal crisis is a severe manifestation of systemic sclerosis characterized by malignant hypertension, oligo/anuric renal failure, and thrombotic microangiopathy. We present a case of a 55-year-old male with uncontrolled hypertension who presented with hematospermia and was found to have acute renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, concerning thrombotic microangiopathy. Empiric management for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) with plasma exchange and corticosteroids yielded a paradoxical response, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma presenting as scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) after serological confirmation. Given the morbidity and mortality associated with scleroderma renal crisis, it should be increasingly considered as a differential for thrombotic microangiopathy even without outward manifestations of systemic sclerosis. Additionally, the empiric management of TTP can include the use of corticosteroids which can exacerbate SRC, an early clinical clue in the diagnosis of this disease.

Water contamination has become a global challenge which must be tackled. This study examined the contamination level of water in four locations at Ogbete area Enugu state. Carters street had the highest pH of 5.23 which is below the WHO standards limits for drinking water. The conductivities ranged from the highest conductivity 1445 µs/cm, which is below the WHO limits (8-10,000 µs/cm), TDS (1000 mg/l., TSS (WHO (500 mg/l). For alkalinity, the four locations were all below the (150 mg/l) standard set by World Health Organisation. Results showed that most of the physicochemical, biological and heavy metals parameters considered in this study were significantly above the permissible or allowed by WHO. It is therefore recommended that the water should be treated before use.

This used the template of the survey using a hybrid approach, where the results were gathered in quantitative and qualitative terms. The subjects of this research were 35 junior high school English teachers in Ambon city. The data collection method was questionnaire, survey and assessment checklist. The findings revealed that the technique plays a significant role in English reading practices; the techniques enable teachers to conduct their teaching tasks faster and well-arranged. Mostly, students use speaking aloud, summarization, vocabulary development, skimming, and testing. In the end, the teachers themselves and the students were faced with the challenges of using the technique in the teaching and learning process. The approaches used by teachers to solve the challenges were enhancing students' knowledge of vocabulary, inspiring pupils, and introducing different methods for teaching literacy. Teachers need to expand their understanding of techniques in the teaching and learning process.
The Way School Leaders Develop Tourism as a Viable Major in Vocational Education in West Papua
Authors: Silalahi Agtisda Tiofanna
Published: April 2023

This project examines the West Papuan communityâ€™s assumptions regarding the vocational high school major in Tourism, specifically the high school in Manokwari that was established in 2007. Unfortunately, the expectations of the policy makers in the field of vocational education and tourism are not met by the low number of young people who are interested in the school and finally decide to enroll in the school. The Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) used in this study looks at the issues through each of four layers, namely the Litany, Systemic/Social Causes, Discourse/Worldview, and Myth/Metaphor. The analysis moves from the current scenario through the layers to the construction of a new alternative scenario. It is recognized that the school needs innovation in the paradigm of the relational type of leadership model. The recommendations propose four main areas of cooperation through the Appreciative Inquiry approach: 1) within the school, 2) with the community, 3) with the tourism business sector, and 4) with the local Department of Tourism and the Department of Education. The project fills the gap in the literature, which lacks research on tourism vocational high schools in West Papua.

O real e a fantasia na assunção da identidade quilombola
Authors: SANTANA Arleide Farias de
Published: April 2023

Este artigo é uma análise da caracterização cultural nos eventos da festa realizada no Buri, no município de Pedrão/BA em comemoração ao seu reconhecimento como comunidade quilombola, junto à Fundação Cultural Palmares, a partir de uma assunção prévia da identidade quilombola, que se reveste de uma lira imaginativa capaz de recriar um espaço romantizado a serviço das necessidades presentes de quem as evoca. No âmbito de uma valorização da identidade quilombola revistada no limite entre o que se tem/é e o que “deseja-se” conseguir/ser, surge ou “inventa-se” a figura arquetípica do quilombola, o guerreiro negro que resistiu tenazmente à escravidão consciente de sua humanidade, de sua negritude e do seu direito à cidadania. Nesse sentido, esta comunicação traz uma comparação entre o real e a fantasia que ocorre em muitas comunidades como forma de qualificá-las como quilombolas. Autores tais como: Stuart Hall, Franz Boas, Abdias Nascimento, Marilena Chauí serão o aporte desta reflexão.

The world was recently shocked by an outbreak of a deadly virus. The recent emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased societal stress levels through disruptions in daily work routines, adoption of new norms, low viral predictability, loss of source of income, death of loved ones, long-covid symptom, and subsequently being pushed to cope with a global economic crisis. It is believed that an endemic crisis will have a grave impact on everyone. Therefore, preparedness for disasters at individual, community and organisational levels are important to reduce disaster risk and minimising their impacts. The existing evidence on the application of behavioural coping models on disaster and emergency preparedness is predominantly from developed countries. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the existing behavioural models on the subject, and also to present cross cultural issues that may contribute to ways of understanding the community’s coping behaviour during a disaster. Following a discussion of their utility in developing countries such as Malaysia, this paper first discusses how cultural characteristics influence a community’s behaviour to cope with the unprecedented events. It then reviews how behavioural model can be applied to reduce risk-or to cope with the stress of a natural disaster. Future research on behavioural model addressing preparedness needs to focused on developing countries where there is a high probabilityof lacked coping capacity.

Shielded anechoic chambers are widely used in testing electronic devices sensitive to external electromagnetic fields. The best shielding is provided by a closed metal screen of sufficient thickness. As a result, such devices are usually complex and heavy structures. If small-sized products are subjected to tests, it is possible to use simplified cameras, the screen of which is made of metallized fabric, and all equipment operates from an autonomous power supply source. An example of a simple technology for laying metallized fabric is given. It is indicated that when using such a fabric, the peculiarities of the electrodynamics of multilayer shielding should be taken into account.

Authors: Tzortzoglou Filippos , Kosmas Panagiotis , Avraamidou Lucy
Published: April 2023

The use of augmented reality games (ARGs) in education has gained increased attention from curriculum developers, teachers, and researchers in the past decade. Research findings show that ARGs can promote meaningful learning environments that foster key competences for the 21st century. This paper presents the design process of “EcoAegean”, an ARG for mobile devices, which was implemented in primary classroom environments to support the development of students’ key competences in the context of sustainability. The game was created using an open augmented reality software platform and its design was based on contemporary theoretical underpinnings regarding the use of such games in educational contexts. In the first section of the paper, we describe the design procedures of the learning scenario as well as the game itself. In the last section of the paper, we offer a set of critical insights on the design and implementation of mobile augmented reality games for the purpose of supporting students’ development of key 21st century competences.
Ethik in der Medizin – blinder Passagier oder Steuermann?
Authors: Wetireck Rainer
Published: April 2023

Realizing multiple problems of theory-practice-transfer, medical ethics have to be grounded theoretically, methodically and empirically in the reality of medical workaday. In the modern technological based medical system the ethical dimension is in many ways strategically dissolved. Systematically delegated out of physician's personality, ethics are diffused into an anonymous system where a self-sufficient, technocratic and vitalistic ethos is predominant. An alternative concept of medicine can be empirically described: it is based upon a deliberate anthropological and existential concept of medicine and has fulminant consequences concerning the realization of medical ethics in medical workaday.

In the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany human dignity is a norm of personal identity accruing from cultural memory. By canonisation this norm has become the supreme legoethical principal and the ultimate measure for all other ethical norms based on collective communicative memory. Canonisation invests this legoethical norm with a categorical obligation which excludes any pursuit of modification by sociocultural development, by the normative dictate of state authorities or the normative dictate of public spirit. In the meaning of the metaethical theory of institutionalism the legoethical norm of human dignity is not an <institutional fact<, submitted to a collective change of values in a sociocultural community with collective identity and not an , submitted to a plebiscite »by feet«.

Takhrij Hadits "Kebersihan Sebagian dari Iman"
Authors: Nurullah Rizal
Published: April 2023

Kata bersih sering digunakan untuk menyatakan keadaan lahiriah suatu benda, misalnya air itu bersih, lingkungan bersih, tangan bersih dan sebagainya. Terkadang kata bersih memberikan pengertian suci, seperti air itu suci, tetapi biasanya digunakan untuk ungkapan sifat lahiriah sedangkan kata suci untuk ungkapan sifat batiniah seperti jiwanya suci. Tidak semuanya yang bersih adalah suci. Suci yaitu bersih dalam arti keagamaan, seperti tidak terkena najis, bebas dari dosa, atau bebas dari suatu barang yang mutanajis, najis, dan hadas. Sedangkan bersih berarti terbebasnya manusia atau suatu barang dari Sesutu yang kotor. Ada sebuah pepatah yang tak asing didengar mengatakan “kebersihan pangkal Kesehatan”. Kebersihan sangat berhubungan dengan Kesehatan dan lingkungan, oleh karena itu sangat penting untuk diperhatikan. Agar terhindar dari berbagai penyakit, maka hnedaknya membiasakan hidup bersih. Agama dan ajaran islam menyimpan perhatian yang sangat tinggi terhadap kebersihan, baik itu kebersihan secara fisik (jasmani), maupun secara jiwa (rohani).
How participatory propaganda operates through superusers: The effects of super commenters on Breitbart News
Authors: Yang Yunkang , Hsiao Yuan
Published: April 2023

Many right-wing media such as Breitbart produce propaganda. However, how their audiences participate in propaganda remains unknown. We advance the theory of “participatory propaganda” via investigating “super commenters” -- the top 5% of the most active commenters who produced more than 50% of the comments on Breitbart. Based on a textual analysis of 2.8 million comments, we show that super commenters commented early, instigated conversations, and amplified extremist, conspiratorial topics. Based on a survey experiment, we show that reading top-ranked comment threads involving super commenters entrenched the conspiratorial beliefs of like-minded readers and prompted them to share Breitbart articles on social media. Our findings reveal a multi-step process of participatory propaganda on right-wing media sites that involves elite cuing, selective amplification, and content diffusion.

Bilateral Medial Medullary Stroke: A Single Center Case Series
Authors: Magan Vanessa Rose , Quitasol Peter Allan
Published: April 2023

Introduction. Stroke in the posterior circulation accounts for 20-30% of ischemic strokes (Frid et al., 2019). The medial medullary stroke accounts for less than 1%. It is caused by a lesion in the vertebral artery or its branches, or the anterior spinal artery (Ropper, Samuels, Klein J, & Prasad, 2019). Prognosis depends on the age of the patient and the severity of the motor deficit on admission (Kim & Han, 2019). A bilateral medial medullary infarct is thus very rare. Methodology. We therefore present a case series of three patients in a tertiary hospital in the Philippines and describe their clinicodemographic profile, clinical presentation, imaging and ancillary diagnostic characteristics and outcome. Age range was from 35 to 64 years old. All three presented with dizziness and varying combinations of cranial nerve deficits, motor, sensory ataxia and cerebellar signs. Imaging modalities used are Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with time of flight (TOF) and computed tomography angiography (CTA). One had a left vertebral artery (VA) occlusion extending into the proximal basilar artery (BA). Another had a non-visualized right VA and bilateral posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). The last case had an unremarkable vessel study. Treatment strategies include dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with Aspirin and Cilostazol (2 of 3), and Enoxaparin plus Aspirin. One received intravenous thrombolysis with Alteplase prior to the DAPT. None were intubated and all were home discharged. Conclusion. We have shown that a bilateral medial medullary stroke can present with minimal disability and a good outcome.
An Initial Exploration of Fatigue as a Predictor of Quality of Life in Transplant Athletes Competing at National and International Events.
Authors: Rogerson Daniel , Houghton Scott , Hogg Mitchell , Jooste Julius
Published: April 2023

Background: Supporting organ transplant recipients’ quality of life after surgery continues to be of topical interest to health researchers and applied practitioners. However, literature and guidance on the factors linked to quality of life in transplant recipient athletes remains largely unreported and unconfirmed. Aim: Therefore, in this study we sought to identify significant predictors of quality of life in an international sample of organ transplant recipient athletes (N = 99, Mage = 53.12, SD = 13.70). Method: Adopting a cross-sectional design, we collected the study data during the 2019 World Transplant Games using online and pen-and-paper surveys that consisted of demographic items, health, and physical activity-related measures (i.e., Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire, Fatigue Severity Scale, Assessment of Physical Activity Questionnaire, Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale). Predictor variables in the study were broadly summarised into three categories namely demographic factors, sport-related factors, and levels of fatigue with physical and mental quality of life functioning as the outcome variables. Results: Hierarchical regression analyses exposed fatigue to exert a significant negative influence on both mental and physical quality of life perceptions explaining 49% and 64% of the variance in these variables respectively. Conclusion: It is recommended that transplant athletes’ level of fatigue should be routinely measured and closely monitored in sport settings as it has a negative bearing on quality of life that may act as a potential barrier to sport participation and enjoyment.
Enhancing High School Students' Understanding of Plant Diversity through an Innovative and Engaging Educational Card Game
Authors: Suriyabutr Ariya , Yasri Pratchayapong
Published: April 2023

One of the fundamental components of science education in Thailand and other regions is the study of plant diversity. Nevertheless, students' lack of interest in this topic may be due to its overwhelming content and the perceived disconnection to their daily lives. To address this issue, an educational card game that incorporates concepts of plant taxonomy, distinctive characteristics, phylum, and several examples of local plants was developed to provide a more engaging, relevant, and conceptually appropriate approach to learning. An investigation of students' conceptual understanding before and after playing the card game, as well as their motivation towards the intrinsic value of the learning, was undertaken to assess the efficacy of the developed card game. The results of the study revealed that students' participation in the activity led to an increase in conceptual knowledge and a heightened degree of internalisation in motivation. As such, it is recommended that teachers incorporate the use of this educational card game in their curriculum to enhance students' understanding and appreciation of the topic of plant diversity.

Like other approaches to rendering explicit and sampling systematically from a design space of empirical results, integrative experiment design (Almaatouq et al., 2022) can improve the status quo in empirical social and behavioral science. However, reform proposals that start from data generated by sampling and expect to get to good theory misconstrue the role of theory in learning from experiments. Attempts to debias data-driven inferences by “zooming out” are also challenged by the inseparability of the results sampled from a design space from the assumptions that produce them and the difficulty of rendering dependencies explicit without sacrificing interpretability.
A machine learning-based thermometer, barometer and hygrometer for magmatic liquids

Published: April 2023

Experimentally calibrated models to recover pressures, temperatures and water contents of magmas, are widely used in igneous petrology. However, large errors, especially in barometry, limit the capacity of these models to resolve the architecture of crustal igneous systems. Here we apply machine learning to a large experimental database to calibrate new regression models that recover P-T-H2O of magmas based on either melt composition or melt composition plus associated phase assemblage. The method is applicable to compositions from basalt to rhyolite, pressures from 0.2 to 14.5 kbar, temperatures of 675-1425°C, and H2O contents up to 15 wt.%. Testing and optimisation of the model show that pressures can be recovered with root-mean-square-error (RMSE) of 1.2 and 1.0 kbar for the melt-only and melt-phase assemblage models respectively. Errors on temperature estimates are 22-25°C and 1.0-1.3 wt.% for H2O. Our findings demonstrate that melt chemistry is a reliable recorder of magmatic variables. This is a consequence of the relatively low thermodynamic variance of natural magma compositions despite their relatively large number of constituent oxide components. We apply our model to three contrasting cases with well-constrained geophysical information: Mount St. Helens volcano in the Cascades arc (USA), the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) in Chile, and the Askja caldera in Iceland. Dacite whole-rocks from Mount St Helens erupted 1980-1986 yield magma source pressures of 3.3-4.3 kbar in excellent agreement with experimental petrology, seismic tomography, magnetotelluric images and earthquake hypocentres. Melt inclusions and matrix glasses record lower pressures, consistent with magma crystallisation during ascent. Glasses and phase assemblages for three large magnitude APVC eruptions (Atana, Toconao, Purico ignimbrites) yield magma storage pressures and temperatures of 1.7-2.4 kbar and 726-789°C, in excellent agreement with previous thermobarometry. While these pressures are shallower than the underlying Altiplano-Puna Magma Body (APMB), rhyolite whole-rock compositions indicate pressures equivalent to the top of the APMB. We suggest that extraction of rhyolitic liquids from the APMB mush, followed by crystallisation at shallower depth preceded each eruption. Magma reservoir depth estimates for historical eruptions from Askja match the location of seismic wave speed anomalies. We show that Vp/Vs anomalies at 5-10 km depth correspond to hot (~1000°C) rhyolite source regions, while basaltic magmas (~1150°C) were stored at 15 km depth under the caldera. These examples illustrate how our model can link petrology and geophysics to better constrain the architecture of volcanic feeding systems. Our model (MagMaTaB) is accessible through a user-friendly web application (https://igdrasil.shinyapps.io/MagMaTaBv23/).

In rich false memory studies, familial informants often provide information to support researchers in planting vivid memories of events that never occurred. The goal of the current study was to assess how effectively we can retract these false memories via debriefing – i.e. to what extent can we put participants back to the way we found them? This is essential to investigate, for both ethical and theoretical reasons. Participants (n = 123) completed a false memory implantation protocol as part of a replication of the “Lost in the Mall” study (Loftus and Pickrell, 1995). By the end of the protocol, 14% of participants self-reported a memory for the fabricated event, and a further 52% believed it had happened. Participants were then fully debriefed, and memory and belief for the false event were assessed again. In a follow-up assessment three days post-debriefing, the false memory rate had dropped to 6% and false belief rates also fell precipitously to 7%. Moreover, virtually all persistent false memories were found to be non-believed memories, where participants no longer accepted that the fabricated event had occurred. Richer, more detailed memories were more resistant to correction, but were still mostly retracted. This study provides evidence that participants can be “dehoaxed” and even very convincing false memories can be retracted.
The cross-border crime and security of the movement of goods in the European Union – the role of the Border Guard of the Republic of Poland
Authors: Świerczyńska Jowita
Published: April 2023

Issues related to broadly understood border security are discussed by the EU institutions and Member States, as well as attracting interest from various academic communities. The discussion has multiple dimensions. Regarding the cross-border movement of goods, the role of the security guardian is most frequently attributed to customs authorities, often without acknowledging the importance of another border service, i.e. the border guard. Therefore, the article’s aim is to analyse the role of the Border Guard of the Republic of Poland in the process of ensuring the security of the cross-border movement of goods in the European Union and actions to combat cross-border economic crime in the context of movement of people. This article is divided in introduction, two parts presenting the research results, and conclusions. The first part describes the essence of security and threats in the cross-border movement of goods in the context of cross-border movement of people, the second one refers to the role of the Border Guard of the Republic of Poland as the guardian of the security of the European Union’s external border. The conclusion presents recommendations for maintaining a high level of protection and border surveillance in the cross-border movement of goods. This article is theoretical, with elements of comparative analysis.
Point-of-Care Naloxone Distribution in the ED Increases Provider Prescription Rate
Authors: Walker Laura , Rittenberger Jon C.
Published: April 2023

Background:

Distribution of naloxone rescue kits has been found to be safe, reduce death rate from overdose, and be associated with a decrease in high-risk opioid use A rural emergency department (ED) developed an intervention to increase provision of naloxone rescue kits to patients at risk of opioid overdose.

Methods:

Naloxone rescue kits were stocked in the ED Omnicell. An order set was created in the electronic medical record (EMR) consolidating order for rescue kit and referral to substance abuse treatment center. ED providers were given an educational session to demonstrate the effectiveness of naloxone rescue kits and the new care plan. A retrospective review of 12-month periods pre- and post-intervention was completed. Patients at risk of opioid overdose were identified by diagnosis or provider judgement. Primary outcome was order for rescue kit provision at time of discharge. Secondary outcomes included buprenorphine order in ED, referral to substance abuse treatment center, and attendance of 7-day post-discharge follow-up encounter. Analysis performed with chi-square test and a p value of <0.05 was considered significant.

Results:

Rate of naloxone rescue kit order rose from 1.6% to 10.4% ( p = 0.0025). Rate of buprenorphine ordering rose from 14.2% to 31.3% ( p = 0.0007). Referrals to outpatient treatment did not differ (12.6% versus 19.6%; p = 0.1). Attendance of 7-day follow-up encounter decreased (24.5% versus 46.5%; p = 0.0001).

Conclusions:

This intervention modestly increased the provision of naloxone rescue kits in one ED. Future work should focus on care coordination with outpatient clinics to improve the follow-up rate.

Methodology for experimental study of soil microrelief on ruts in bridge farming
Authors: Beloev Hristo
Published: April 2023

The study of issues related to the study of the state of the soil on the surface of the most constant technological track is relevant, since the movement of the running wheels along narrow tracks determines the traction and coupling properties of machine-tractor units, their vibrations, the stability of movement and the controllability of movement. The рurpose of this study was to increase the efficiency of the process of profiling microroughnesses of the soil surface located in areas that form a track along which the running wheels of machine-tractor units will move, by substantiating a new scheme of an automated profilograph and developing methods for its use. For this study, modern methods of experimental research based on IT technologies were used. In particular, an automated complex has been developed for measuring and evaluating the microprofile of soil surface irregularities on the very track of the tramline. The results of the experimental studies in this matter showed that the standard deviation of the soil surface irregularities reaches ±0.84 cm. This gives reason to consider the harmonic components of these functions as damped, having normalized correlation functions. The graphs constructed using PC showed that most of the dispersions of soil surface irregularities on the ruts themselves are concentrated in the range of 0…0.3 sm−1. It was established that the generator of the formation of irregularities in the longitudinal profile of traces of a permanent technological track is the parameters of the treads of the wheels of the machines moving along it. The obtained results of the study can be used in the selection of protectors of pneumatic tires of the running wheels of machine-tractor units moving on two tracks
