Utilization of hospice and nonhospice care in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis
Authors: Wang Shu-Chen , Hu Kai-Chieh , Chang Wei-Chuan , Hsu Chung-Y.
Published: December 2021

Objectives:

The prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and the number of patients undergoing dialysis in Taiwan are high. Since September 2009, the National Health Insurance has started to provide hospice care to patients with renal failure in Taiwan. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the use of hospice and nonhospice care in patients with ESRD on dialysis. We aim to understand trends in patients with ESRD receiving hospice and nonhospice care as well as medical care efforts during the last month of their lives (2009–2013).

Materials and Methods:

The cohort study was conducted using 1 million randomly selected samples from the Taiwan Health Insurance Research Database for millions of people in Taiwan in 2009–2013. Descriptive statistics were presented to summarize the characteristics of data. To compare differences between cohorts, Chi-square tests and Student's t-tests were used. Mann–Whitney U-tests were performed for nonnormally distributed data. Mantel–Haenszel test was test for trend.

Results:

We recruited 770 ESRD patients who underwent hemodialysis; among them, 154 patients received hospice care. Patients who received hospice care had a significantly longer survival time after removal of mechanical ventilator (20 vs. 0 days) and after discontinuation of dialysis (2 vs. 0 days) compared with those who did not receive hospice care. Patients who received hospice care had more pain control (61.04% vs. 17.37%, P < 0.0001) and other symptomatic control (55.84% vs. 43.18% with diuretics, P < 0.05; 64.29% and 48.21% with laxatives, P = 0.0004) medications than those who did not. Nevertheless, the overall medical cost in the hospice group was significantly lower (90 USD and 280 USD, P < 0.0001).

Conclusion:

Our results suggest that the addition of hospice care may permit patients a longer life-support-free survival time. In addition, despite a more frequent symptomatic controlling agent use, hospice care significantly reduced the overall medical expenditure.
Was John B. Watson Inspired by Anna Wyczółkowska and Her Studies in the Mechanism of Speech?
Authors: Domański Cezary W.
Published: December 2021

In 1913, an article by Anna Wyczółkowska entitled Theoretical and experimental studies in the mechanism of speech was published in the Psychological Review. It contains the results of her studies on internal speech and thought, which had been carried out by the author seven years earlier, in the psychological laboratory of the University of Chicago. John B. Watson was a participant in the study. Wyczółkowska believed that Watson was inspired by her research. Thanks to his participation, he gradually began to move away from his original interest in animal psychology, towards behaviourism. In his Behaviorist Manifesto published in the same year, Watson took, as one of the arguments for the rightness of his programme, the assumption that the thought process is really motor habits in the larynx, improvements, short cuts, changes, etc. According to Wyczółkowska, it was obviously inspired by her research. Her aforementioned article is still cited in the psychological literature today, and belongs to the canon of the most important early experimental studies in the field of research on thinking and speech processes. This text discusses the relationship between the research conducted by Wyczółkowska and some assumptions of behaviourism. Furthermore it presents the story of Wyczółkowska’s life, her scientific work, social commitment to women’s university education, and activities in the Polish American community.

Between Textual Borrowing and Forgery. On Compilatory Practices of Medieval Universal Chroniclers Based on Martinus Polonus
Authors: Soszyński Jacek
Published: December 2021

The author’s goal is to add to the understanding of the issue of where the border line is that marks the passage from an enlarged copy (an augmented or developed version) of a given chronicle to an independent authorial entity. In this context a side question arises concerning the acceptability of textual borrowing in the face of medieval authorial practices and conventions, i.e. where compiling ends and falsifying begins. The aforementioned issues are discussed on the basis of five historiographical texts composed between the mid–thirteenth and the third quarter of the 15th cent. Their common denominator is their affinity with the famous Chronicle of Popes and Emperors by Martin the Pole (or of Oppavia). Examining the character of the borrowings, their ideological stance, and their political opinions, the author reaches the conclusion that it was not the copy–and–paste technique frequently employed by the chroniclers, but their intentions that decide whether the resulting works should be treated as new entities, sometimes even forgeries.

Authors: Hamdan M.H. , Dajani S. Jayyousi , Zaytoon M.S. Abu
Published: December 2021

In this fundamental work, higher derivatives of the standard Nield-Kuznetsov function of the first kind, and the polynomials arising from this function and Airy’s functions, are derived and discussed. This work provides background theoretical material and computational procedures for the arising polynomials and the higher derivatives of the recently introduced Nield-Kuznetsov function, which has filled a gap that existed in the literature since the nineteenth century. The ease by which the inhomogeneous Airy’s equation can now be solved is an advantage offered by the Nield-Kuznetsov functions. The current analysis might prove to be invaluable in the study of inhomogeneous Schrodinger, Tricomi, and Spark ordinary differential equations.

Published: December 2021

In this study, wastewater from a centrifuge rubber latex concentration unit was experimentally treated by an up-flow anaerobic filter (UAF) at variable hydraulic detention time to investigate the COD removal efficiency and the gas production rate. The UAF reactors were made of PVC pipe with an inside diameter of 9.5 cm, 180 cm in height, with a bed volume of 12.8 L, and filled with polyethylene media. The initial COD concentration of wastewater was in the range 4620 - 10400 mg.L-1. HRTs were controlled at 20 days, with the organic loading rate varying from 2.9 to 10.5 kg.day.m-3. The findings show that the COD removal efficiency of the system was in the range of 85% to 92% for the varying organic loading rates. In addition, the specific methane production rate varied from 8.2 to 14 L of CH4 produced/g of COD destroyed/day for the different organic loading rates.

Published: December 2021

In today’s world, with ever-changing pollutants and their concentrations, the designing of low-cost meteorological systems is unavoidable for assessing environmental parameters. Wireless instrumentation is an effective way of measuring the physical quantities as it can measure and transmit the data to the targeted location at high speed. In the present work, an IoT-enabled embedded system was developed to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide, ozone, and the presence of smoke. The ARM microcontroller reads the sensor data and processes the information to calculate the pollutant parameters. The measured data is displayed on the LCD, mobile phone, and a computer simultaneously using wireless technology. With Embedded C, the Keil compiler was used to develop the interfacing software for the designed system. Portability, user-friendliness, and reliability are the significant advantages of the device compared with the conventional systems, and it can be widely used as an inexpensive solution for the monitoring of environmental conditions.

Authors: D’Sa S. M. , Patnaik D. , Acham V. , Jadhao S.
Published: December 2021

The Waste Management Hierarchy is used as a guiding principle for waste management of industrial solid waste. Further, it is extended for the management of industrial liquid effluents as well. The Waste Management Hierarchy consists of the five levels namely; waste prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery, and disposal. This five-tiered Waste Management Hierarchy has been adopted by the European Union under the Waste Framework Directive as a decision-making tool. This paper explores some of the technology options known and available and categorizes them according to the five levels of the Waste Management Hierarchy. This paper presents brief case studies that highlight some benefits to those who embrace this decision-making tool.
A GIS-Based Methodology to Determine Effect of Vehicular Pollution at Ward Level: Case Study of Jaipur City
Authors: Vyas A. D. , Mahale K. , Goyal R.
Published: December 2021

To determine appropriate measures to reduce air pollution in any urban city, the first essential requirement is to estimate the spatial distribution of air pollution parameters in that area. In absence of air monitoring stations, alternative methods are required for the same. In the present work, a GIS-based methodology is presented to estimate the level of NO2 based on the road density of the road network of different categories of roads. Road network GIS layer and measured levels of the average value of NO2 for the year 2019 at 12 air pollution monitoring stations of Jaipur city are used to develop a large number of possible linear regression models for estimation of NO2 values based on road density values. Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and adjusted r2 values are used to evaluate and arrive at the best-fitted model. Values from the cities of Jodhpur and Kota are used to validate the model. Using this model, NO2 levels are determined at 91 wards of Jaipur city and the output is compared with the similar map derived based on interpolation of NO2 values at the 12 monitoring stations. It is concluded that the methodology developed in this study generates better estimates of NO2 at the ward levels.
Detection of Text in Videos Using Discrete Wavelet Transform and Gradient Difference
Authors: Dixit Manoj Kumar
Published: December 2021

Text detection in video frames provide highly condensed information about the content of the video and it is useful for video seeking, browsing, retrieval and understanding video text in large video databases. In this paper, we propose a hybrid method that it automatically detects segments and recognizes the text present in the video. Detection is done by using laplacian method based on wavelet and color features. Segmentation of detected text is divided into two modules Line segmentation and Character segmentation. Line segmentation is done by using mathematical statistical method based on projection profile analysis. In line segmentation, multiple lines of text in video frame obtained from text detection are segmented into single line. Character segmentation is done by using Connected Component.

Analysis (CCA) and Vertical Projection Profile Analysis. The input for character segmentation is the line of text obtained from line segmentation, in which all the characters in the line are segmented separately for recognition. Optical character recognition is Processed by using template matching and correlation technique. Template matching is performed by comparing an input character with a set of templates, each comparison results in a similarity measure between the input characters with a set of templates. After all templates have been compared with the observed character image, the character’s identity is assigned with the most similar template based on correlation. Eventually, the text in video frame is detected, segmented, and processed to OCR for recognition.

ABSTRACT

 

Background: Hospitalization is the entry of individuals into the hospital as a patient to get help in medical care or treatment. Intensive care for neonates who are treated in the NICU or NHCU will cause anxiety and worry for the baby's mother. Anxiety is a vague fear accompanied by feelings of uncertainty and discomfort. Anxiety response is the most common thing experienced by mothers when there are health problems in their babies.

 

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with maternal anxiety in the NICU and NHCU rooms at Panti Rapih Hospital, Yogyakarta.

 

Methods: This study uses a quantitative, analytic survey design with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all mothers who had babies who were treated in the NICU and NHCU rooms at Panti Rapih Hospital, Yogyakarta. Sample of 35 respondents was obtained by accidental sampling technique. The research instrument used is a questionnaire.

 

Results: There was a significant relationship between age (p-value: 0.039), education (p-value: 0.028), occupation (p-value: 0.010), economic status (p-value: 0.003), length of stay (p-value : 0.015), and there is no significant relationship between the environment and maternal anxiety (p-value: 0.551).

 

Conclusion: The factors that were related to the anxiety of mothers in the NICU and NHCU rooms at Panti Rapih Hospital Yogyakarta were age, education, occupation, economic status and length of stay. The unrelated factor is the environment. Suggestions for NICU and NHCU nurses are expected to increase education about the condition of the baby to the baby's mother and teach the mother in caring for her baby.

Published: December 2021

В работе представлена обратная задача последовательного определения двух неизвестных - коэффициента, характеризующего свойства среды со слабо горизонтальной неоднородностью, и ядра интегрального оператора, описывающего память среды. Прямая начально-краевая задача содержит нулевые данные и граничное условие Неймана. В качестве дополнительной информации задается след на границе среды Фурье-образа решения прямой задачи. Для исследования обратных задач предполагается, что искомый коэффициент разлагается в асимптотический ряд по степеням малого параметра. В статье построен метод нахождения (с учетом памяти среды) коэффициента с точностью до поправки, имеющей порядок $O(\epsilon^2)$. На первом этапе одновременно определяется решение прямой задачи в нулевом приближении и ядро интегрального оператора, при этом обратная задача сводится к эквивалентной задаче решения системы нелинейных интегральных уравнений Вольтерра второго рода. На втором этапе ядро считается заданным, и одновременно определяется решение прямой задачи в первом приближении и искомый коэффициент. В этом случае решение эквивалентной обратной задачи будет решением линейной системы интегральных уравнений Вольтерра второго рода. Доказаны теоремы однозначной локальной разрешимости поставленных обратных задач. Приведены результаты численных расчетов функции ядра и коэффциента.

In previous studies, it was found that coumarins with hydrazide moiety show good antioxidative potential, while similar coumarins with hydrazone moiety are good anticancer agents. In this paper, the antioxidative potency and radical scavenging activity of two coumarin hydrazone derivatives were investigated. For this purpose, density functional theory method M062X with 6-311G++(d,p) basis set was implemented. It was found that investigated compounds exhibit good antioxidative potency, with very similar BDE values regardless of the position involved. On the other hand, PA values show that a preferable functional group for proton loss depends on the position of the OH group. In ortho position, OH group shows lower antioxidative potency than NH group, while in the same time in para position OH group is favourable position for antioxidative activity reactions. A similar situation is obtained by investigation of radical scavenging mechanisms, with the more pronounced difference in BDE between the positions in favour of the NH group. While SPLET is the most probable mechanism which is in competition with HAT in some cases (hydroxy radical) SET-PT was found to be a non-operative mechanistic pathway.

Authors: De Vasconcellos Marcelo Barros , De Macedo Fernando Correa
Published: December 2021

O afogamento é um problema de saúde pública universal que não recebeu a atenção necessária e impacta desproporcionalmente as crianças. Diversos fatores podem causar afogamento, por isso, existe a necessidade de se preveni-lo com o uso de conteúdos, não apenas procedimental, mas também atitudinal e conceitual. Objetivo deste texto foi refletir sobre as habilidades, conceitos e atitudes necessárias para a prevenção do afogamento e a respeito dos conteúdos procedimentais, atitudinais e conceituais que devem compor as aulas de natação de crianças para aumentar a segurança aquática. A metodologia foi de revisão bibliográfica com a base nas publicações de artigos disponíveis, nos últimos 10 anos, na base de dados Pub Med, com as palavras chaves: natação e afogamento. Os resultados mostraram que o conteúdo procedimental, que devem compor as aulas de natação de crianças para aumentar a segurança aquática, devem fazer com que o aluno aprenda a saber fazer, executar ações na água relacionadas ao desenvolvimento da aquacidade. Já os conteúdos conceituais devem fazer com que o aluno aprenda a saber sobre fatos, conceitos, símbolos, imagens, princípios materiais, e por fim os conteúdos atitudinais, o aluno aprenda a saber respeitar, conviver com normas, posturas, valores e atitudes. Pode-se concluir que o ensino da natação com os três conteúdos interligados (procedimental, conceitual e atitudinal) é mais uma ferramenta para ajudar a prevenir o afogamento. Os alunos precisam saber realizar a técnica procedimental para utilizar os braços e pernas com eficiência para sustentação e deslocamento, flutuar na vertical e horizontal, mudar de decúbito, conseguir se deslocar por alguns segundos em busca de local seguro, além disso, é importante também fornecer conteúdos para que ele possa adquirir conhecimento conceituais e desenvolver atitudes corretas, sobre os riscos de afogamento, aprender a ter controle emocional e discernimento em situações de perigo.

Authors: Santana Marinho Camila de , Rodrigues de Souza Andrezza , Rocha Pinheiro Machado Rachel
Published: December 2021

Introdução: A tuberculose é causada por variantes da espécie Mycobacterium tuberculosis, acometendo principalmente indivíduos imunocomprometidos. Neste sentido, o bacilo da tuberculose em suas formas multidroga-resistente (MDR) e extremamente droga-resistente (XDR) tem feito um número cada vez maior de vítimas. É possível hoje nos depararmos com uma literatura vasta que busca exatamente ampliar esse espectro de possibilidades terapêuticas, entretanto, um panorama sobre as descobertas atuais se faz necessário. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão sistematizada utilizando estudos desenvolvidos sobre este assunto, a fim de contribuir para a construção de um direcionamento das possibilidades terapêuticas mais promissoras. Método: Revisão sistematizada utilizando estudos desenvolvidos in vitro com cepas MDR-TB e XDR-TB, a partir da base de dados MedLine com a seguinte frase de pesquisa: (MDR OR XDR) AND tuberculosis AND (activity OR anti) AND in vitro. Resultados e Discussão: foi possível identificar uma clara e discrepante ênfase à busca por possibilidades terapêuticas contra a tuberculose causada pela cepa MDR de Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), quando comparada ao número de investigações contra a cepa XDR de MTB. Ocupando a primeira posição de substâncias investigadas contra MDR, identificamos a categoria "novas drogas". Conclusão: O panorama evidenciado neste estudo revelou que as muitas investigações in vitro têm sido realizadas no sentido de se buscar alternativas para o tratamento da TB-MDR, ficando a TB-XDR com menor número de estudos e consequentemente, menor chance de desenvolvimento de drogas para seu tratamento.

The focus on ICT as means of empowering women has gained momentum. Their potential is paralleled by their rapid development that extends into all aspects of life. Conducting our analysis on aggregate macroeconomic data taken from the World Bank database, we deploy an econometric panel data approach to capture the impact of ICT on women's economic empowerment in 18 MENA countries between 2000 and 2019, using ARDL panel estimates. The results reveal the existence of a long-term cointegrating relationship between the variables. In addition, the impact of all the variables is significant in the long run, while in the short run their impact is not significant. Mobile phone subscriptions and internet users have a positive impact in the long run; however, fixed telephone subscriptions and fixed broadband subscriptions have a negative impact‎.
EDUCATION AND ITS ROLE IN THE MORAL AND COGNITIVE CHANGE OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Authors: esam maha
Published: December 2021

The educational institution today is one of the most important institutions that works to achieve and disseminate knowledge values among its members, and since the educational institution is at the same time a social institution, it reflects the goals, principles, values, behaviors and knowledge of that society to which it belongs through a set of concepts and values associated with each other to lead Its role is to immunize members of society in general and the youth group in particular against the fierce attack that young people are exposed to, threatening their Arab identity, social fabric and national affiliation to lead them to change the style and style of their culture and their knowledge and societal values.
