Authors: Mirel Lisa B. , Resnick Dean M. , Aram Jonathan , Cox Christine S.
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) links data from surveys to administrative data sources, but privacy concerns make accessing new data sources difficult. Privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) is an alternative to traditional linkage approaches that may overcome this barrier. However, prior to implementing PPRL techniques it is important to understand their effect on data quality. METHODS: Results from PPRL were compared to results from an established linkage method, which uses unencrypted (plain text) identifiers and both deterministic and probabilistic techniques. The established method was used as the gold standard. Links performed with PPRL were evaluated for precision and recall. An initial assessment and a refined approach were implemented. The impact of PPRL on secondary data analysis, including match and mortality rates, was assessed. RESULTS: The match rates for all approaches were similar, 5.1% for the gold standard, 5.4% for the initial PPRL and 5.0% for the refined PPRL approach. Precision ranged from 93.8% to 98.9% and recall ranged from 98.7% to 97.8%, depending on the selection of tokens from PPRL. The impact of PPRL on secondary data analysis was minimal. DISCUSSION: The findings suggest PPRL works well to link patient records to the National Death Index (NDI) since both sources have a high level of non-missing personally identifiable information, especially among adults 65 and older who may also have a higher likelihood of linking to the NDI. CONCLUSION: The results from this study are encouraging for first steps for a statistical agency in the implementation of PPRL approaches, however, future research is still needed.
Financing official statistics: Some reflections
Authors: Pullinger John
Published: March 2022

Government control over the financing of official statistics has long been seen as threat to their integrity. This paper reviews the personal experience of the author over 40 years working in and around official statistics in the United Kingdom. It notes that as a state function, official statistics must be funded by the state and respect the accountability arrangements necessary for state funding to be seen as legitimate. It considers that the critical element is strong protection from partisan manipulation for political ends. The paper concludes that the COVID pandemic has accelerated a trend for recognition of the value of official statistics and the consequent need for commensurate state funding.
Factors associated with requesting accommodations among people with multiple sclerosis
Authors: Dong Shengli , Mamboleo George
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Almost one million individuals are living with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the United States with a majority being diagnosed when they are in their 20s or early stages of their careers. Employees with MS experience various job-related challenges such as high unemployment and underemployment. Accommodations assist individuals with MS to obtain and maintain employment, yet the current understanding of factors affecting decisions to request or withhold accommodations is limited. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators of workplace accommodation requests among individuals with MS through a qualitative approach. METHODS: Eighty-six participants were recruited from agencies serving individuals with MS in the US. Content analysis was conducted to examine responses to one open-ended question related to their perception of barriers or facilitative strategies to request accommodations. RESULTS: Ten overarching themes related to barriers and facilitators for requesting accommodations were identified. Among them were three facilitators (i.e., positive work environment, employer compliance and flexibility, and employee self-advocacy and proactivity) and seven barriers (i.e., employers’ lack of knowledge of Americans with Disabilities Act and accommodations, employers’ discrimination and resistance to accommodation requests, employees’ fear/anxiety to request due to associated stigma, employees’ lack of knowledge about accommodations/disability/resources as well as inaccessible workspace). CONCLUSIONS: Rehabilitation professionals can educate and empower employees with MS to disclose disability and request needed accommodations. Rehabilitation professionals also can educate employers for individuals with MS about their obligations under the laws to provide accommodations and sensitize coworkers of individuals with MS regarding the disability.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Inappropriate design of chairs and disproportion with students’ body dimensions can influence their physical and mental health as well as their educational efficiency and concentration. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the ergonomic status of commonly used chairs in Iran’s universities using combinational equations and anthropometric indices. METHODS: Participants in this cross-sectional study were 166 students in Iran. Eleven anthropometric parameters of the students and nine dimensions in seven types of commonly used chairs in Iran’s universities were measured. Combinational equations were used to determine the fitness of the chairs. RESULTS: There was a major mismatch between most students’ anthropometric measurements and the dimensions of the chairs. Backrest height and seat height were the best and the worst features, respectively, according to ergonomic recommendations for chairs. The recommended measurements of seat height, seat depth, seat width, desk height, desk width, desk length, backrest width, backrest height, and desk distance were 332, 420, 436, 245, 95, 511, 426, 550, and 281 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION: None of the commonly used chairs in Iran’s universities were found to be a good fit to the students’ anthropometric dimensions. Therefore, in order to prevent inappropriate body postures, chair designs have to reviewed, and made to fit with Iranian students’ anthropometric data. The recommended measurements obtained in this study can be used to design a suitable ergonomic chair to match with a high percentage of Iranian students.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Return to work (RTW) enhances the general well-being and social participation of cancer survivors (CSs). OBJECTIVE: To describe the predictive value of work-related factors on the RTW process of CSs. The work accommodations, the perceived workload, and the barriers and facilitations of RTW are also reported. METHODS: This population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Province of Reggio Emilia from July 2016 to July 2017. CSs who were 20–59 years old, first diagnosed with cancer, and employed at diagnosis were recruited. RESULTS: The majority of CSs (140/266, 53%) returned to work without difficulties, 42% reported difficulties, and 5% did not RTW. CSs who were shift workers (sex and age-adjusted Relative Risk [adj-RR] 1.30; 95% CI 0.94 –1.78) and who worked at night (adj-RR 1.36 95% CI 0.99 –1.86), in the evening (adj-RR 1.23; 95% CI 0.95 –1.57) and on Sundays (adj-RR 1.15; 95% CI 0.81 –1.63) perceived more difficulties. Physically demanding work and a long commute seemed to negatively impact RTW. Accommodations in work tasks (37%) or schedule (26%) were implemented. Workload was not acceptable for 18% of CSs. The main barriers concerned energy and drive functions, whereas remunerative employment was the foremost facilitation. CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare professionals should address work-related factors that might influence RTW with personalized interventions of vocational rehabilitation.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: In vertebrae, the amount of cortical bone has been estimated at 30–60%, but 45–75% of axial load on a vertebral body is borne by cortical bone. OBJECTIVE: To compare the role of L1 CT-attenuation and cortical thickness in predicting osteoporosis by opportunistic CT and explore cortical thickness value in osteoporosis. METHODS: We collected data of 94 patients who underwent DXA and thoracic and/or abdominal CT to demonstrate an entire L1 for other indications in routine practice. Patients were divided into three groups according to T-score: osteoporosis, osteopenia, or normal. CT-attenuation value and cortical thickness of L1 were measured. ANOVA analysis was utilized to analyze CT-attenuation and cortical thickness among the three groups. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) predicting low BMD were determined using ROC. Pearson correlations were employed to describe relationship between L1 BMD and CT-attenuation value, BMD, as well as cortical thickness. RESULTS: The mean cortical thickness was 0.83±0.11, 0.72±0.10, and 0.64±0.09 mm for normal, osteopenia, and osteoporotic subgroups, respectively. A statistically significant difference was observed in cortical thickness and CT-attenuation value among these three subgroups. A mean CT-attenuation value threshold of > 148.7 yielded 73.0% sensitivity and 86.0% specificity for distinguishing low BMD from normal with an AUC = 0.83. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that BMD was positively correlated with CT-attenuation (r = 0.666, P < 0.001) and cortical thickness (r = 0.604, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: L1 CT-attenuation and cortical thickness measured on opportunistic CT can help predict osteoporosis. Compared with cortical thickness, CT-attenuation is a more sensitive and accurate index for distinguishing low BMD from normal.

The publication introduces into scientific circulation the annual report of the head of the resettlement department in the Ust-Kamenogorsk and Zaysan districts of the Semipalatinsk region of the Steppe Territory, based on the data of the year 1915. The document was deposited in the collection of the Resettlement Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture and State Property (No. 391), stored in the Russian State Historical Archive (St. Petersburg). The survey report is supplemented by a concluding note by V.A. Sayenko, the head of the Migration department of the Ust-Kamenogorsk and Zaysan districts. It is concluded that the success of the settling of the border region is determined not so much by the number of immigrants as by the scale of their settlement and integration. It is noted that in the future the territories of Ust-Kamenogorsk and Zaysan districts would allow significantly increasing the scale of resettlement, and the “Russification” of border areas would create the necessary conditions for ensuring security at the borders of the Empire. The document serves as a vivid example of how a contemporary interprets the migration process, realizing Slavic resettlement as a manifestation of state policy on the colonization of the Asian outskirts. The report provides estimates of the size of the displaced population and the current results of the agrarian colonization of the Russian-Chinese borderlands. It contains scenarios for the accelerated modernization of both nomadic and resettlement societies and options for optimizing economic and intercultural contacts. The conclusion is made about the colonization potential of this territory, and recommendations for the implementation of colonization policy are provided in the context of Russia’s economic and military-political interests in a strategically important region.

In the second half of the 18th century trade between the Kazakh Khanate and the Qing Empire, the so-called «silk for a horse», had the status of interstate trade. This trade was shaped and developed by the needs of trading partners. The rulers of the Kazakh Khanate sought to further develop animal husbandry, which was the economic basis of the country. They sold livestock products and thereby solved market problems to meet the daily needs of the population. The Qing Empire conquered Zhonggaria and began to strengthen its power in this territory. While maintaining its power in Zhonggaria, in order to strengthen the defense and develop cattle breeding, the Qing Empire had to solve the problem of demand for all types of livestock, in particular horses. In view of the bilateral need, the issue of developing mutually beneficial trade arose. Out of this bilateral need, the two sides set out to develop mutually beneficial trade relations. This topic is being studied by domestic and foreign scientists. However, there are still many obscure historical issues surrounding the topic. Incomplete publication of historical data is one of the main reasons for this situation. Our goal is to find answers to such still obscure questions. The results of the research work showed that fairs were created during the trade between the Kazakh Khanate and the Qing Empire. At first, fairs were organized in Urumqi, then in Gulja, Chuguchak, Khobda and other places. The holding of fairs was directly related to the initiative of the Kazakh khans and sultans. Kazakh khans, sultans, biys and batyrs agreed to solve such important issues as opening trade fairs, running trade caravans, they always put the protection of the state interests of their country in the first place. The article is written based on Chinese sources, describes the historical role of the rulers of the Kazakh Khanate in the formation and development of trade, including the opening and development of fairs.

Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to an urgent and insufficiently studied problem. It is the deportation of the Crimean Tatars to Kazakhstan during the Great Patriotic War. The author presented a historiographic review of the literature on the forcible resettlement of certain ethnic groups to the territory of Kazakhstan, which showed the lack of today works entirely devoted to the Crimean Tatars, who, at the behest of the leadership of the totalitarian state, ended up in Kazakhstani lands. In this regard, the purpose of this article was to disclose the process of deportation and residence in the conditions of special settlements of the Crimean Tatars during the war and in the post-war period in Kazakhstan. The author introduced into scientific circulation the materials of the State Archives of the Almaty Region, the Central State Archives of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the State Archives of the Karaganda Region, and the Archives of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, published in various collections of materials and documents. The article discusses the reasons for the resettlement of the Crimean Tatar ethnos to the East, shows how the betrayal and desertion of individual people were blamed on the whole people, as the country’s leadership for the security of its southern borders, within two days they carried out an operation to send old people in freight cars, women and children to the eastern lands. Part of the Crimean Tatars ended up in Kazakhstan. The author, relying on documents and archival materials, examines the resettlement of «Crimeans» in Kazakhstani lands, their living in special settlements, the lack of rights and freedoms, the possibility for children of deported Crimean Tatars to master only technical specialties necessary for the development of the economy of the Kazakh SSR. The number of «Crimeans», their knowledge of their native language, was witnessed by the data of the 1970 and 1999 population censuses, which the author cites in the article in dynamics and in comparison. In the conclusion, the conclusion is presented that, despite all the difficulties of the fate of the whole people, the Crimean Tatars were able to adapt and actively engage, together with representatives of other ethnic groups, in the creative work for the development of Kazakhstan.

Published: March 2022

One of the common challenges of driving piles in winter is frozen soil. The depth of frozen soil reaches two meters in Northern and Central Kazakhstan that made it difficult to build the pile foundations in cold months. In order to prevent the pile distraction, the places of pile installation are usually drilled by drilling machines which takes time and additional cost for preparatory works. In this paper we proposed a new method of preventing the soil from freezing by using an antifreeze reagent. The reagent can also be used to thaw the frozen ground which allows the construction works in winter months. During the static load test, the piles driven into the soil that had been applied with antifreeze reagent have shown more accurate bearing capacity data. The scientific and experimental studies have established that the antifreeze reagent reduces the ompressibility of frozen soil.

Within the framework of this research, there has been developed a structural model of an industrial cyberphysical system architecture using cloud computing as a base platform has been developed. The proposed cyber-physical system integrates all elements in four levels of abstraction, based on a multi-agency approach. The proposed approach based on the Intelligent Data Analysis System of the Monitoring System allows searching and identifying vulnerable elements of the cyber-physical network infrastructure based on the cloud platform. The research has developed a model for securing the operation of network infrastructure facilities presented in the form of a measured multigraph, which forms a plan for collecting, analyzing and verifying data from the monitoring system to provide a consolidated assessment of the current state of the network elements. At the same time, the arameters for securing the infrastructure of the cyber-physical system and the cloud platform were selected as the top of the column. As arcs are given the relationships between the fixed dimensions of reliability, which reflect the relationship between the operation and the parameters of the connected nodes of the cyber-physical system, taking into account the current parameters of the column data streams. This allows us to identify system segments that will reduce the overhead needed to make changes. At the same time, the neural network approach is used to predict the continuous infrastructure of the cyber-physical system. The use of the proposed hybrid approach allowed us to predict the behavior of the infrastructure over time and to warn of possible failures in the operation of individual components and critical nodes.

La pandemia por la covid-19 provocó el cierre de los centros educativos en México y la adopción de un modelo de clases a distancia que mostró amplias desigualdades tecnológicas entre los individuos. Este trabajo examina los usos del internet por jóvenes estudiantes mexicanos de 15 a 23 años durante la contingencia sanitaria. Se estimó una regresión probit bivariada, con información de la Encuesta Nacional sobre Disponibilidad de Tecnologías de la Información en los Hogares (ENDUTIH) 2020. Los resultados reflejan que durante el confinamiento los jóvenes utilizaron el ciberespacio a pesar de la brecha digital, condicionada por factores socioeconómicos y demográficos, donde los hogares menos favorecidos tienen menores probabilidades de acceso. Los hallazgos muestran dos tipos de usos: productivos (tareas y cursos complementarios a la educación) y de ocio (juegos en línea, escuchar música, ver videos y usar redes sociales). Los resultados evidencian un menor uso de las tecnologías digitales por parte de las mujeres, lo que deja entrever diferencias por razón de género. Asimismo, se revela la importancia de la educación superior en un mayor uso productivo del internet y en la adquisición de las habilidades digitales.
I Am a Cat, No. II

Published: March 2022

What would the neighbors say about you if they didn’t know your cat was listening?

What if it was “The Cat With No Name”? The one who claims “I have, as a cat, attained the highest pitch of evolution imaginable. … My tail is filled with all sorts of wisdom and, above all, a secret art handed down in the cat family, which teaches how to make fools of mankind. … I am a cat, it is true, but remember I am one who keeps in the house of a scholar who reads the Moral Discourses of Epictetus and bangs the precious tome upon the table. And I claim to be distinguished from my heavy, doltish relations at large.”

This volume is an English translation of Chapters III and IV of 吾輩は猫である Wagahai-wa neko de aru, which appeared in Japanese in 1902 and eventually ran to 10 installments. In these chapters we find the household of Professor Kushami entangled in the maneuvers of a possible engagement of Mr Kangetsu to Miss Kaneda and reacting with disdain toward businessmen and large noses and other unwelcome Western intrusions in Meiji Japan—all the while peppering their conversation with allusions to European science and literature.
Secured SDN Based Blockchain: An Architecture to Improve the Security of VANET
Authors: Choudhary Swapna , Dorle Sanjay
Published: March 2022

Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANETs) during the communication process, nodes are always varying and the process is always under security threats like Sybil attacks, masquerading attacks, etc. In order to reduce the probability of these attacks and to regulate traffic flow in the network, a software-defined network (SDN) is used. The SDN is used for implementing protocols like OpenFlow and reducing the routing load in the network, but it doesn’t provide a high level of security to the network, hence protocols like encryption, hashing, etc. are applied to the VANET. In the paper, SDN based blockchain-inspired algorithm is implemented, which coordinates network traffic and improves the overall security of the network. Security analysis of the proposed algorithm shows that the combination of blockchain with encrypted SDN is removing more than 95% of the network attacks as compared to its non-blockchain counterparts.

Energy Storage Applications to Address the Challenges of Solar PV and Wind Penetration in Indonesia: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Umam Mukhamad Faeshol , Selia Sesi , Sunaryo Amrullah Farad , Al Asy’ari Muhammad Rizqi
Published: March 2022

Indonesia intends to increase the renewable energy ratio to at least 23% from the energy mix generated by 2025. This target is also in line with the Paris Agreement that Indonesia ratified in October 2016. However, renewable energy capacity has not been significant, as 11.38% of the total on-grid power capacity (MEMR, 2021). More than 90% of renewable comes from hydropower and geothermal, and only a limited capacity comes from wind and solar energy. On the other hand, wind and solar energy potential are enormous for energy generation in Indonesia. One of the barriers that hinder the use of both is their intermittent nature so that they are not economically profitable and can disrupt the existing power grid. Energy storage systems (ESS) can reduce this intermittent problem as frequency regulators and voltage support to the grid. This paper reviews the potential and challenges of energy storage and renewable power generation, especially wind and solar power. This paper also outlines lessons learned from energy storage systems that have been implemented and are still under development. The discussion focuses on the types of energy storage suitable for applications in Indonesia.

Capturing European crime
Authors: Hunter Russ
Published: March 2022

As “shop windows” for newly produced but not-yet-released films, the study of festivals is one measure by which it is possible to assess the nature, presence and relative quantity of European crime films made in any given year. This article explores the presence of European crime films at European film festivals by examining the complete festival programmes from Cannes, Berlin and Venice. These three festivals are widely regarded as the most prestigious and largest in Europe (forming part of the global “Big 5” alongside Sundance and Toronto) and as such are premier destination for films of all types, particularly European productions. The prestige and visibility afforded by them means that they are key sites of exhibition, marketing and potential distribution to any film that is programmed there. The aim is to begin substantiating the numerical, national and transnational make-up of European crime cinema by using its presence on the European festival circuit as means to highlight its contemporary production status. A systematic analysis of all films programmed at Cannes, Venice and Berlin in order to identify the European crime films present identified a total 289 films (8.05% of the total films programmed at these festivals) out of 3587 films surveyed across a five-year period (2016–2020).
Cosmopolitan crimes
Authors: Schleich Markus
Published: March 2022

German crime films usually only find wide international circulation when they deal with either the two World Wars or the country’s unique position during the Cold War. Victoria (Sebastian Schipper, 2015) is an exception. The film, shot in one continuous take, tells the story of a young woman from Madrid who meets four local Berliners outside a nightclub in the middle of the night and ends up robbing a private bank with them. Without an established auteur or any sizeable star power attached to it, the film managed to travel widely within Europe, made possible by Creative Europe’s funding schemes for distribution. The first section of the article examines the struggles of German crime films to cross the borders, despite the abundant national production of crime films, television series, and literature. The second section focuses on the importance of the distribution scheme that helped Victoria travel and explores how the policies of the MEDIA programme have shaped the European cinema landscape. In the third section, the paper examines how Victoria evokes images and discourses of European society such as disenfranchisement, solidarity, and precarity set in a cosmopolitan Berlin. By analysing the promotional texts, this final section explores how Victoria’s ideal combination of genre, auteurial ambitions and “added European value” granted the film access to support mechanisms which are usually out of reach for a film.
First reproduction of Panha’s crocodile newt Tylototriton panhai in
captivity, with a description of the courtship behaviour, eggs and
larval development
Authors: HERNANDEZ AXEL
Published: March 2022

Amphibians are facing extinction on a global scale and maintaining small populations of threatened or endangered
species in captivity is essential. In connection with potential captive breeding of Panha’s crocodile newt, Tylototriton panhai, we
report a detailed husbandry protocol and describe breeding and mating behaviour. After six years in captivity, a group of two
adult females and six males, tentatively identified as T. panhai, successfully reproduced for the first time on 24th June 2020 after
a heavy rainstorm and two subsequent days of precipitation when water temperatures in a large aquaterrarium placed outdoors
were 18-21 °C. The complete courtship behaviour consisted of five main stages: i/ approach; ii/ nuptial dance; iii/ amplexus; iv/
spermatophore deposition; v/ fertilisation. The two females laid a total of 84 eggs (41 and 43 eggs each) that were deposited on
land in clutches of 4-22 eggs or even singly. Egg size averaged 12.6 ± 0.4 mm and the mean size of the embryo capsule 5.1 ± 0.1
(n=84). The egg hatch success rate was ~80% and on hatching the larvae moved to the water at the bottom of the aquaterrarium.
By 7-9 days after hatching the total larval length was 11.89-13.78 mm (n=67). Diagnostic morphological characters are provided
for stages 30-46. Metamorphosis occurred at 99-102 days and efts started to move to land at an average total length of 56.2
mm and weight of 0.6-0.9 g
