Published: January 2022

Prevalensi stroke meningkat setiap tahunnya. Pasien stroke mengalami kelumpuhan anggota tubuh yang menyebabkan perubahan dan penurunan fungsi kehidupan fisik dan psikologis. Kondisi ini membuat pasien stroke membutuhkan bantuan orang lain dalam aktivitas sehari-hari. Oleh karena itu, salah satu anggota keluarga sebagai unit terdekat pasien akan berperan sebagai caregiver yang membantu memenuhi kebutuhan pasien stroke. Caregiver sendiri juga memiliki orientasi pemenuhan kebutuhan, perawatan dan pikiran untuk diri sendiri. Pengabaian pemenuhan kebutuhan ini dapat mengakibatkan stres fisik dan mental pada caregiver. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan beban caregiver dengan stres keluarga pada pasien stroke. Ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di RS PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong. Sejumlah 122 orang caregiver utama diambil sebagai responden penelitian dengan tehnik consecutive sampling. Data dianalisa menggunakan Chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar responden berada pada rentang beban sedang sebanyak 63 orang (51,64 %) dan tingkat stres sedang sebanyak 60 orang (49,18%). Uji korelasi chi-square menunjukkan nilai p value 0,035 < 0,05 sehingga dinyatakan terdapat hubungan antara beban caregiver dengan tingkat stres keluarga pada pasien stroke. Semakin tinggi beban caregiver maka tingkat stres yang dirasakan juga semakin tinggi. Penting bagi perawat jiwa untuk mengetahui mengenai beban caregiver dan stres yang dirasakan sehingga dapat membantu melalui program manajemen stres bagi caregiver pasien stroke.

Published: January 2022

The Kocher-Langenbeck (K-L) approach is the ‘workhorse’ of surgery for acetabular fractures needing posterior fixation. It is indicated for most of these fractures for proper surgical technique and optimal outcome. We therefore evaluated the outcome of surgically treated acetabular fractures through the K-L approach in our setting with limited resources. 57 patients were operated by the K-L approach during the 3-year study period. The most common indications of this approach were: posterior wall (38.6%) and transverse + posterior wall fractures (36.8%). Based on Matta’s criteria of fracture reduction, 81 % were judged anatomic, 16% imperfect and 3 % poor. A surgery waiting time of 8 to 14 days after injury, significantly favoured anatomic fracture reduction. The MAP score was excellent in 72 % and unacceptable in 10.6 %. Factors associated with poor outcomes were poor fracture reduction and the development of early post-operative complications. Iatrogenic sciatic nerve palsy (ISNP) was the most significant post-operative complication (19.3%). The levering of Hohmann retractors in the sciatic notches was the major risk factor for developing ISNP, compared to the use of sciatic nerve retractors. Other early and late complications included surgical site infections (12.3%) and heterotopic ossification (8.8 %), respectively. The overall outcome following surgery by the K-L approach is satisfactory. However, there is need to ameliorate the technique, especially at the level of instrumentation, to limit post-operative complications.

SEA-LEVEL PRESSURE TRENDS IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN AND ANTARCTICA FROM REANALYSIS AND IN SITU DATA
Authors: Romanov P. Yu. , Romanova N. A.
Published: January 2022

Trends in the mean sea-level pressure (SLP) in Antarctica in the last four decades (1980– 2020) have been examined using in situ observations and reanalysis data. The analysis involved time series of monthly mean, season-mean and yearly-mean values of the SLP derived from four reanalysis datasets, NCEP/NCAR, ERA5, JRA55, MERRA2, and from surface observations acquired from the Reference Antarctic Data for Environmental Research (READER) dataset. With this data we have evaluated the trends, characterized their seasonal peculiarities and variation across the high-latitude region of the Southern Hemisphere. The results of the analysis confirmed the dominance of decreasing trends in the annual mean SLP in Antarctica. Larger negative trends were found in the Western Antarctica with the most pronounced pressure drop in the South Pacific. The long-term decrease in the annual mean SLP in Antarctica was due to strong negative pressure trends in the austral summer and fall season whereas in winter and in spring the trends turn to mixed and mostly positive. The comparison of multiyear time series of SLP reanalysis data with in situ observations at Antarctic stations revealed a considerable overestimate of negative SLP trends in the NCEP/NCAR dataset. Among the four examined reanalysis datasets, ERA5 provided the best agreement with the station data on the annual mean and monthly mean SLP trend values.

On August 6, 2021, the chief researcher of the IO RAS, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, Professor Ivar Oskarovich Murdmaa turned 90 years old. The main focus of I.O. Murdmaa is the study of bottom sediments of seas and oceans, their lithology, mineralogy, deposition processes, facies and formations, the theory of oceanic sedimentogenesis. He first distinguished marine volcanoterrigenous sediments and described the facies variability of modern sediments of island arcs. Ivar Murdmaa is known for his studies in mineralogy of oceanic sediments, processes of pelagic sedimentogenesis and associated iron-manganese nodules formation. Studying sediment formation in rift zones of mid-ocean ridges, he identified a new genetic type of sediments named edaphogeonus sediments, elaborated mineralogical criteria for their recognition and formation processes. In recent years I.O. Murdmaa is actively developing the theoretical concept of "sedimentosphere", paying special attention to a new direction – the study of the erosion-accumulative activity of bottom currents and the formation of contourites.

Authors:   WSB University in Toruń, BIELICKA Barbara , GOŹDZIEWSKA-NOWICKA Agnieszka ,   Bydgoszcz University of Technology, JANICKI Tomasz ,   WSB University in Toruń
Published: January 2022

Purpose: The authors aimed to identify the characteristics of a process organisation, and to determine the organisation's activity in various areas, including communication. Design/methodology/approach: The research methods used in the article was an online survey. Findings: The conducted research is the first step in assessing the relations that occur between the level of process maturity of an organisation and the level of communication activity. In the surveyed organisations there is a high awareness of the need and importance of processes. Research limitations/implications: The study of corporate image and the study of reputation and prestige in the area of internal communication activity. A group of about 64% of organisations declared such activity, although to varying degrees. About 33% of respondents declared these activities as strategic. It should be assumed that they are the result of image activities, activities focused on reputation and prestige. It can be assumed that these are activities of public relations or corporate communication. Admittedly, further research reveals the lack of certain processes, which are important and determine the strategic character of these activities (e.g., lack of CSR, lack of employer branding). Practical implications: Achieving more and more process maturity through process improvement should be treated as a cyclical activity, which is oriented towards the continuous search for better solutions. Organisations that intend to improve their processes, and thus gain greater process maturity, should continually take care to shape open communication, both within the company and in the external environment. Originality/value: Strategic achievement of an integrated state of internal and external communication is based on constructive dialogue and is determined by the number of different processes, the level of communication and the level of their process maturity.

Published: January 2022

Purpose: The main purpose of this article was to explore main factors of choice of private medical services by Polish patients. Design/methodology/approach: In the theoretical part of the article, the current situation in health care sector in Poland was discussed. Also, based on the literature authors introduced their own classification of factors of choice of private medical services. The empirical research was conducted in August 2021. Finally, 122 participants were included in a research sample. Findings: The biggest number of respondents indicated the availability of appointments as the most fundamental aspect. Also, the study revealed other factors, especially choosing a particular physician, previous positive experiences, the transparency of treatment and the quality of care as important for patient’s choice. Research limitations/implications: Research was limited to the private sector which results from the fact that its share on the market grows and is increasingly popular among foreigners. It is worth considering to further deepen the research including studying factors in public health care sector to compare them or to expand the research group to a larger population. Due to technical development forced by recent epidemiological situation of SARS-CoV-2019 pandemic, also it is worth to include telemedicine into future studies. Practical implications: Private sector operates on the laws of economy which allow the implication of research findings to gain competitive advantage in areas which are most important for patients treated as customers. Outcomes of this article have practical implications for private medical entities. They could enhance operation areas which were chosen by patients. Social implications: Polish health care sector is one of the national economy segments. Providing access to medical services for citizens is one of important government’s activities. In case of insufficient access, private sector may be able to support public health care system. Originality/value: It is crucial to conduct such a research among Polish patients because these factors may differ due to a particular country and its specific determinants like political solutions, culture, functioning of health care system, types of medical insurance and other specific conditions. Moreover, in the theoretical part of the article, authors built their own classification of factors of choice of private medical services.

Authors:   The Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, Faculty of Law and Social Sciences, Department of Management, KONIECZNA Izabela
Published: January 2022

Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify activities creating value for the customer in the area of sales marketing and to compare them between the two neighboring voivodships, namely Świętokrzyskie and Małopolskie. Design/methodology/approach: Direct interviews using a questionnaire survey were conducted among representatives of cooperatives representing 41% of the population, which resulted from the willingness to participate in the survey. Findings: The analysis of the research results, taking into account two voivodships shows that although sales marketing activities have an impact on customer value, most of them are not carried out by all cooperatives. Moreover, in the case of other major markets, no action is taken. In most cases, the voivodship in which the cooperatives operate differentiates the undertaken activities. Research limitations/implications: A limitation of the research is the range. It results from the fact that only cooperatives from two voivodships, namely Świętokrzyskie and Małopolskie were researched here. In addition, the research results are limited to one organizational and legal form of enterprises, i.e. cooperatives. It seems reasonable that further research should be at least nationwide and cover various organizational and legal forms of enterprises. Practical implications: Analysis of the results allows enterprises’ management to be more aware of the need of analyzing activities in the field of marketing sales more often, as it affects the value to the customer. Such awareness allows them to take appropriate steps to increase the scope of taken actions, and thus affect the value for the customer to a greater extent than the competition. Originality/value: The comparison of market activities in the sphere of sales marketing of selected cooperatives from two different voivodships

Introduction: Humankind is passing through a period of significant instability and a worldwide health catastrophe that has never been seen before. COVID-19 spread over the world at an unprecedented rate. In this context, we undertook a rapid research project in the Sultanate of Oman. We developed ecovid19 application, an ontology-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) with teleconference capability for easy, fast diagnosis and treatment for primary health centers/Satellite Clinics of the Royal Oman Police (ROP) of Sultanate of Oman.Materials and Methods: The domain knowledge and clinical guidelines are represented using ontology. Ontology is one of the most powerful methods for formally encoding medical knowledge. The primary data was from the ROP hospital's medical team, while the secondary data came from articles published in reputable journals. The application includes a COVID-19 Symptom checker for the public users with a text interface and an AI-based voice interface and is available in English and Arabic. Based on the given information, the symptom checker provides recommendations to the user. The suspected cases will be directed to the nearby clinic if the risk of infection is high. Based on the patient's current medical condition in the clinic, the CDSS will make suitable suggestions to triage staff, doctors, radiologists, and lab technicians on procedures and medicines. We used Teachable Machine to create a TensorFlow model for the analysis of X-rays. Our CDSS also has a WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication system) based teleconferencing option for communicating with expert clinicians if the patient develops difficulties or if expert opinion is requested.Results: The ROP hospital's specialized doctors tested our CDSS, and the user interfaces were changed based on their suggestions and recommendations. The team put numerous types of test cases to assess the clinical efficacy. Precision, sensitivity (recall), specificity, and accuracy were adequate in predicting the various categories of patient instances.Conclusion: The proposed CDSS has the potential to significantly improve the quality of care provided to Oman's citizens. It can also be tailored to fit other terrifying pandemics.

The electrical equipment industry in Indonesia is one of the factors that triggers economic growth. Labor productivity determines the success of project implementation. The non-optimal facility layout is one of the factors that triggers low labor productivity. The non-optimal facility layout affects the flow of information in the company. This study examines the problem of non-optimal office facility layout with TSP, ARC and ARD methods at PT. Duta Wijaya Elektrindo Engineering (PT. DWP). The method stated above can minimize the total distance traveled between office facilities so that work efficiency and workforce productivity may increase. The results of data processing indicate that the recommended office facility layout recommendations that are in accordance with the level of closeness between departments based on PST, ARC and ARD is the first recommendation. With reduced total distance traveled in the first layout of the proposed office facilities, the level of employee productivity and work efficiency will increase. The smallest total distance traveled on the proposed layout of the office facilities is 244.22 meters with a reduction of 36% from the initial conditions.

Published: January 2022

Purpose. The aim of the work is the design and creation of a modifiable closed-loop control system for DC to DC voltage regulation. Originality. The regulation parameters of modifiable close-loop control system can be easily change by proposed windows application. With such a system the regulation parameters can be easily determined without a calculation. Methodology. The paper as an example provides a description of a one DC to DC converter which belongs to buck-boost family. Presented converter is composed of two switching devices. For implemented a control strategy the galvanic isolated control signals technique was made to achieve desired control methodology. Control signals as well as the regulation itself was made by an ARM microcontroller type of STM32F103C8T6. Based on used MCU the control algorithm for voltage regulation was made. With such MCU the user interface where the whole system can be monitored and controlled was made also. The user interface is a windows application which was created with the help of a Visual Studio. Results. The paper provides the results achieved by the proposed control system. The results illustrated by windows application were compared with the oscillograms. From the results the incorrect regulation parameters can be easily spotted. Practical value. The advantage of such a control system is in the possibility of using it for various DC to DC converters where the regulation parameters can be easily determined without calculation. The user only connects the control signals to switching devices and connect the output voltage through voltage divider into the analogue input of the MCU. Disadvantage of the proposed system is, it can not be used without a PC where the windows application is running. Figures 15, references 8.
