Is it Possible to Predict High-Risk Patients in Acute Pulmonary Embolism with Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index?
Authors: DUYAN Murat , SARIDAŞ Ali , VURAL Nafis
Published: November 2022

Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a cardiovascular emergency that has a high morbidity and mortality probability. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical value of the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in predicting high-risk patients admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of Acute pulmonary embolism (APE).

Materials and Methods: This clinical study, which was conducted according to a cross-sectional study design, included 193 patients diagnosed with APE who presented to the emergency department of a tertiary hospital. According to the guideline, patients with Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) class III–V or sPESI ≥I were identified as high risk. ROC (Area Under the Curve) analysis was used to determine the cut-off in predicting high-risk APE.

Results: In our research, 71 of the patients had high-risk APE. In detecting high-risk APE, SII was found to have excellent diagnostic power (AUC: 0.84), while neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte to lymphocyte (MLR) were found to have acceptable diagnostic power (AUC: 0.76-0.78), red cell distribution width (RDW) to lymphocyte (RLR) was of fair diagnostic power (AUC: 0.68).

Conclusion: We have shown that SII can be a valuable and useful potential biomarker to identify high-risk patients in patients with APE. We also found that MLR and RLR are biomarkers that can be used to predict severe APE.

Published: November 2022

Medya ortamını değiştiren dijital teknolojiler, televizyon yayıncılığı alanında da OTT platformların ortaya çıkmasıyla önemli bir değişime sahne olmuştur. Türkiye’de ulusal çapta faaliyet gösteren OTT platformlarının erişime açılmasıyla, televizyon yapım pratikleri ve izleyici tercihleri/deneyimleri açısından bir değişimin başladığı görülmektedir. Bu noktadan hareketle, bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’deki genç dizi izleyicilerinin OTT platformlarındaki yerli dizi izlemeye ilişkin görüş ve tutumları ile izleme davranışlarına yansıyan deneyim ve pratiklerin tutarlılığını incelemektedir. Bu bağlamda anket ve odak grup görüşmelerinden oluşan iki aşamalı bir araştırma tasarlanmıştır. İlk aşamada internet üzerinden paylaşılan anketle dizi izleyicilerinin geleneksel televizyon ve OTT platformlardaki dizi deneyiminin farklılıkları ve benzerlikleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın ikinci aşamasında ise anket bulguları doğrultusunda yerli dizi izleyicilerinin yarısının 18-34 yaş aralığında olduğu verisine dayanarak sınırlı bir örneklem üzerinden araştırma soruları derinleştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda üç oturumda on sekiz katılımcıyla görüşülmüştür. Her iki araştırmadan elde edilen veriler birlikte değerlendirilmiş; üç tematik başlıkta toplanmış, tablolar aracılığıyla görselleştirilmiş ve yakın dönem izleyici çalışmalarında öne çıkan eleştirel kuramlar bağlamında analiz edilerek yorumlanmıştır. Bulgular, yerli OTT platformlarında yerli dizi izleme alışkanlıkları, deneyimleri ve buna karşı olan tutumların pratikten ve kişisel tecrübeden doğmadığını aksine katılımcıların söylemleri ile pratikleri arasında büyük bir çelişki olduğunu göstermektedir.

Towards the Ontology of Orthodox Christian Art
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Alekseeva Galina V.
Published: November 2022

The art of the Orthodox Christian Church conveys the special thinking intrinsic to believers, which does not fit into standard ideas. This type of thinking is characterized by a deep penetration into all aspects of artistry: icon painting, church singing and church action. Researchers have been paying attention to this for a long time. At the same time, only in the present day with the careful study of the works of St. John of Damascus and the Church Fathers, the veil of secrecy has been lifted. The integrality of this thinking becomes clear, and it is achieved solely in the synthesis of the constituent parts of the rite and its artistic means. The ontology of Orthodox Christian art is revealed in the article by means of approaches to the analysis of the works of St. John of Damascus and examples of the implementation of the synthesis of arts in icon painting and church chants which are close to the content of the icon. The works of Father Pavel Florensky, Yuri Lotman, Alexei Lidov, Sergei Averintsev and Nikolai Mikhaltsov have become the impetus for careful reading of St. John of Damascus’ guidelines on such a concept as perichorisis, which, as it becomes clear, is important for the interpretation not only in the Christological key, but also as the most important ontological basis of the entire artistic heritage that accompanies worship in church. The synthesis of the color scheme of the icon image, the color model of the text of the accompanying chant, the construction of melodic formulas in accordance with the metatext points of the chant – altogether this creates a unique complex of artistic means of Orthodox Christian art.
Play: A Historical and Cultural Approach
Authors:   Vladivostok State University, Vasileva Ekaterina I.
Published: November 2022

The article examines the historical dynamics of the theoretical and methodological approaches to the essence of play and their significance in modern scholarship and culture. The role of play in the philosophy of ancient times is highlighted. Classical playing theories are presented: Friedrich Schiller’s and Herbert Spencer’s theories of surplus forces, Richard Lazarus’ theory of recuperation, Karl Groos’ theory of exercise and G. Stanley Hall’s theory of recapitulation. Play (as a way to achieve pleasure) is examined through Karl Bühler’s theory. We pay attention to Freud’s psychodynamic theory in the context of understanding play, as well as the views of Erickson and Winnicott. Bateson’s metacommunicative theory is singled out separately. The theory of cognitive development by Piaget and Vygotsky pays special attention to the consideration of approaches to the understanding of play. The role of play in the context of pedagogical, cultural, and anthropological research is presented. Due to the analysis of the presented theories, we made the conclusion about the role of play in present-day culture. The study aims to find out the meaning of play in the representation of modern youth. To solve the tasks set, we used the sociological research method. As a result, we surveyed the young people of the city. This survey allowed us to understand the place of play in modern young people’s lives and reveal its attitude to gaming activities. With the help of a survey, we identified such essential functions of play as relaxation and entertainment. The least important of these was the psycho-technical function. Computer and desktop games were recognized as the most popular types of play among modern young people. The least interest among respondents is caused by such a type of play as gambling. This work is only an initial stage in the study. We plan to continue the study on a representative sample.

Operetta Theater in the Far East in the Period between Two Wars (1906–1914)
Authors:   Children’s Art School No. 2, Artyom, Krylovskaya Izabella I.
Published: November 2022

The author highlights the period of the pre-revolutionary operetta theater in the Far East, spanning the years between two Wars – the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, characterized by an intensive development of the given sphere. Both the inner and the overall Russian tendencies find reflection in this process. This is revealed in forming the repertoire with the fundamental musical compositions, including operettas by contemporary composers from Russia and from other countries. The cameo theaters which spread in the region at that time stipulated the appearance of one-act performances, as well as “shortened” versions of classical and Viennese operettas in the programs of the non-repertory theaters. Among the regional traditions of musical theater, we can observe “competitional” productions and incorporation of inserted numbers, which enhance the multicultural character of operetta. When comparing the dynamics of the functioning of the operetta theater in the country’s central and southern provinces, the conclusion is formed about the leadership of the peripheral territories in this sphere. The cities of the Far East, Harbin, Khabarovsk and Vladivostok broadened the geographical areas of activity of the operetta theater in the remote territories of the Russian Empire.
The Principle of Self-Contained Formation of the Musical Form: Functional and Semantic Aspects
Authors:   Voronezh State Institute of Arts, Devutskaya Natalia V.
Published: November 2022

In the artistic process the task of creating an artistically integral and completed form is initially set and then solved by the artist who created it. A work of art appears as a result of the decisions made, the outcomes of which compel the recipients of the art work to interpret their role and meaning. Being present in a broad field of compositional possibilities induces the analyzing musician towards a search for the criteria of their arrangement. In the present research work the present function is assigned to two principles, universal in their nature, formulated in Russian musicology by O. Sokolov – those of progressive development and self-contained formation. Turning her attention on the second of them, the author of the work examines its manifestation in various genres – from small-scale works to cyclic forms. By the example of works by Mussorgsky, Debussy, Webern and Prokofiev, as well as Chopin’s Prelude No. 2 opus 28 (1831) and Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 7 (1960), original variants of implementing the phenomenon of self-containment capable of expanding the perception of its functional-semantic potential. The chosen angle of research appeals not only to Sokolov’s terminology brought out into the article’s title, but is also relatable to the methodology of the scholar who diffuses the laws of musical form on literary writing. The present circumstance makes it possible to turn to verbal sources – Thomas Mann’s novel The Magic Mountain, Anton Chekhov’s novelette The Black Monk, and Alexander Pushkin’s The Tale of Tsar Saltan. During the process of studying the mechanisms of self-contained formation their dependence on the level of the complexity of the form and the particularities of style and genre is discovered. In the small-scale compositions the action of the principle is realized by means of intonational evolution on an inner-thematic level; the self-contained quality of the large-scale forms becomes the result of a special strategy of juxtaposition of themes. Frequently both processes are predetermined dramaturgically, which inevitably implicates not only functional, but also semantic waymarks into analytics.
Le marteau sans Maître by Pierre Boulez as a System of Cycles
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State A. K. Glazunov Conservatory, Khilko Natalia P.
Published: November 2022

The article presents the results of the cyclical organization of Pierre Boulez’s Le Marteau sans maître in the aspect of combining the principles of linear and non-linear organization. The composer created a work of a probabilistic type, in which dispersed and localized sub-cycles coexist with each other. Their core is formed by the vocal movements in which René Char’s poems are interpreted. The number of compositional units in these structural-thematic groups coincides with the quantitative factor of the segments of the composition’s main series. The embedding of sub-cycles homogenous in their content into a linear set is analogous to the procedure of interpolation. In the dispersed sub-cycles Char’s title poem stipulates the system of expressive means which is replicated in all the movements at various levels of fullness, but always in recognizable ways. In the localized structural-thematic groups the wholeness is formed in the process of ascertainment of the substantial images and the common elements of musical expressivity in the movements pertaining to various sub-cycles. Here the vocal movement becomes the “point of convergence” which brings to light the coincidences and activates the additional semantic overtones present in the poem. In his Le Marteau sans maîtreBoulez demonstrated the possibilities of compositional variability in the conditions of the system of cycles created by them presuming the simultaneous activity of the linear and non-linear organization with various types of connection.
Music in Cinema (Concerning the Question of the Inner Form of the Cinematic Text in the Aspect of Affectability)
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Volkova Polina S.
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to research of the musical component of the Russian cinematograph and its role in the actualization of the inner form of the cinematic text combined with the category of affectability. Positioning the cinema text on the level of artistic integrality, the author of the article focuses her attention on the directorial works of Alexander Lapshin (Dialogue with a Continuation) and Kira Muratova (Ophelia). Turning to the musical accompaniment represented by the works of Bach-Gounod (Ave Maria) and Vassily Agapkin (the march The Slavic Woman’s Farewell), the author denotes an array of phenomena. Falling into the context of a synthetic artistic whole, the works of Bach-Gounod and Agapkin obtain the potential of the semantics of the cinema text, providing an outlet onto the inner form of the indicated directorial works. The commonality stipulating the possibility to examine the emotive potential of the nonverbal (musical) discourse, which demonstrates itself as an inalienable component of the synthetic artistic whole, the correlate of the inner form of the cinema text, is determined, on the one hand, by the dialectics of the part and the whole. On the other hand, both cases refer to emotional-volatile thinking as a concrete action of thought which stands against abstract thinking. What is referred to here is the experience of thought-activity outside of which the inner form cannot obtain its inner form, just as the emotive potential of non-verbal discourse would never be actualized/verbalized. The reference point in the study of the inner form of the cinema text in the aspect of affectability actualized in the domain of nonverbal artistic discourse was expressed by the conceptions of affectability of researchers in Russia and other countries: the conception of musical emotions developed by Valentina Kholopova (Moscow, Russia), the study of musical emotions developed by Wu Liang (Luoyang, China), as well as the school of affectability developed by Ekaterina Prikhodovskaya (Tomsk, Russia). The perspectivity of integrating linguistics and musicology are perceived by the author of the article in the possibility of creating precedents of work with such forms which, while not being ready-made, require active participation of the linguistic identity entering the space of artistic communication.
À la confluence des cultures techniciennes. Les échanges des techniques et des savoir‑faire militaro‑artisanaux dans le duché de Lorraine (XVIe-début XVIIIe siècle)
Authors: Vetter Thibaut
Published: November 2022

Cette contribution étudie les transferts artisanaux et techniques liés à l’artillerie et aux fortifications dans un espace géographique propice au partage et à la diffusion des savoirs et des idées : le duché de Lorraine. Carrefour culturel et commercial, au cœur des confrontations géopolitiques, ce petit État met à profit sa position pour compenser le potentiel retard que sa neutralité entraîne quant à la diffusion des évolutions militaires des XVIe et XVIIe siècles, par le drainage des idées et de talents divers. Au terme de l’analyse du recrutement d’artisans et ingénieurs étrangers, de la diffusion et appropriation de leurs connaissances, il apparaît que ce petit État souverain absorbe une multitude de savoirs techniques issus de cultures différentes, pour finalement proposer une synthèse de ces connaissances, diffusée auprès de ses voisins et mise à profit pour maintenir puis restaurer sa puissance militaire.
De la recherche d’un papetier à l’introduction du cylindre hollandais : circulation des savoirs et transfert de technique entre les Provinces-Unies et le Brandebourg-Prusse au début du XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Becker Sebastian
Published: November 2022

En 1709, Frédéric Ier roi en Prusse critique la qualité du papier qui est produit dans le territoire qu’il domine. Selon lui, ce papier est loin d’égaler la production néerlandaise dont on admire la résistance et la blancheur. Le roi donne l’ordre à son envoyé en poste à La Haye de recruter un papetier hollandais qui soit prêt à faire connaître en Brandebourg-Prusse le secret de la fabrication du papier selon la manière de son pays. Or, le diplomate se rend compte assez vite que le seul recrutement d’un papetier ne suffirait pas pour réaliser le projet de son roi. Cette contribution analyse le processus de la circulation des savoirs techniques ainsi que les défis et les obstacles auxquels s’est vu confronté le personnel diplomatique peu compétent dans ce domaine technique. L’article montre le rôle que les attentes de retombées économiques ont joué dans la politique mercantiliste et caméraliste.

Published: November 2022

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of essential oil coated with glycerol monolaurate (GML) on the growth performance, intestinal morphology, and serum profiles of weaned piglets.Methods: A total of 144 weaned piglets (Duroc×[Landrace×Yorkshire], average weight 8.07±3.33 kg) were randomly assigned to three groups with six replicate pens and eight piglets per pen: i) CON: a corn-soybean basal diet; ii) LEG: with 1,000 mg/kg essential oil coated with GML; and iii) HEG: with 2,000 mg/kg essential oil coated with GML.Results: Results showed that average daily gain was increased (p<0.05) linearly by essential oil coated with GML supplementation on day 14 to 28 and day 0 to 28 compared with the CON group. Dietary supplementation with HEG increased (p<0.05) total antioxidant capacity and catalase activity on day 14, and immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgM concentration on day 28 and tended to increase IgG on day 28. In addition, the crypt depth in the jejunum was reduced (p<0.05), and villus height and villus height/crypt depth in the ileum were increased (p<0.05) in the HEG group compared with the CON group. Moreover, lower (p<0.05) concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-8, and IL-10 were observed in the jejunum of piglets supplemented with HEG compared with the CON group. In addition, dietary HEG tended to decrease IL-6 level in the jejunum of piglets compared with the CON group.Conclusion: Dietary essential oil coated with GML can improve growth performance of weaned piglets. Moreover, supplementing 2,000 mg/kg essential oil coated with GML was demonstrated to improve antioxidant ability, and intestinal morphology, and reduce jejunal inflammatory factor levels.
Self-care and caregiver contribution to self-care in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a pilot cross-sectional study
Authors: Fabrizi Diletta , Natta Irene , Luciani Michela , Di Mauro Stefania , Rebora Paola , Ausili Davide
Published: November 2022

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus requires complex skills of self-care that, during adolescence, need to be adapted to continuous major changes. Therefore, adolescents could struggle in performing adequate self-care, with consequences on glycaemic control. Caregivers’ contribution to self-care could be useful for reaching health outcomes. Existing studies lacked a theoretical framework, and tools administered for measuring adolescents’ self-care and caregivers’ contribution to self-care were not theory grounded.
Aim: To describe adolescents’ self-care and caregiver contribution to self-care within the theoretical framework of the middle-range theory of self-care of chronic illness.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted enrolling 153 adolescent-caregiver dyads. The Self-Care of Diabetes Inventory (SCODI), including self-care maintenance, monitoring and management, was administered to adolescents. The Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Diabetes Inventory (CC-SCODI), including caregiver contribution to self-care maintenance, monitoring and management, was administered to caregivers. We analysed the differences in caregiver contribution according to adolescents’ self-care level and the differences in caregiver characteristics according to their contribution to self-care level.
Results: Adolescents mostly obtained adequate scores for self-care maintenance (74%), monitoring (52%) and management (58%). Caregivers mostly obtained adequate scores for contribution to self-care maintenance (72%) and monitoring (52%), and almost adequate scores for contribution to self-care management (41%). Scores were consistent within the dyads for self-care monitoring and management: high caregiver contribution when adequate adolescent self-care and vice-versa (P < 0.001). Higher caregiver self-efficacy in contributing to patient self-care was associated with higher caregiver contribution to self-care maintenance (P = 0.022), monitoring (P < 0.001) and management (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Caregivers can contribute significantly to the self-care of adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Health professionals could implement interventions aimed at improving caregivers’ contribution through enhancing caregiver self-efficacy in contributing to patient self-care. Researchers could deepen the understanding of the relationship between adolescent self-care and caregiver contribution to self-care, as well as the determinants of caregiver contribution to self-care, and its effects on health outcomes.

Introducing Transcription Standards for Armeno-Turkish Literary Studies
Authors: Çelik Hülya , Sargsyan Ani
Published: November 2022

Turkish literature in Armenian script comprises a large corpus of manuscripts dating from the 14th century together with printed material published between the 18th and 20th centuries. Books were printed in a wide geographical area and their contents were produced by mono- and bilingual Turkish- (and Armenian)-speaking Ottoman Armenians. Therefore, Armeno-Turkish text production represents the textual output enabled through Armenian and Turkish cross-cultural interactions, including various genres and different types of text. Although the scope of Armeno-Turkish text production is extensive, scholarly engagement with Armeno-Turkish texts at universities has only been markedly evident since the 2000s. The most significant reason for this late and limited engagement may lie in the obstacle of the hybrid nature of the script and the language, whereby Armeno-Turkish literature has a place neither in Turkish nor in Armenian literary studies. The aims of this article are therefore (1) to give a short overview of hitherto scholarly work with Armeno-Turkish text corpora and (2) to propose a standard for the transcription of Turkish texts in Armenian script. In a longue durée perspective, we aim to conduct inclusive literary studies and examine Armeno-Turkish literature within the greater framework of (Ottoman) Turkish literature.
The Expanding Role of Pyridine Derivatives as Privileged Scaffolds in Cardiac Ionic Channels
Authors: Krishna Janapati Yasodha , Cheweti Sunithasree , Chidipi Bojjibabu , Srinivas Medidi , Junapudi Sunil
Published: November 2022

Pyridine-based ring systems are heterocycle-structured subunits that are being abundantly employed in drug design, primarily because of their tremendous effect on pharmacological activity, which has resulted in the discovery of various broad-spectrum medicinal compounds. Pyridine derivatives are employed to treat multiple medical illnesses, including prostate cancer, AIDS, tuberculosis, angina, ulcer, arthritis, urinary tract analgesic, Alzheimer’s disease, and cardiovascular diseases. This chapter emphasized the currently available synthetic pyridine derivatives, including nimodipine, ciclopirox, efonidipine, nifedipine, milrinone, and amrinone, effects on cardiac ionic channels and their mechanisms of action for the cure. Pyridine derivatives regulate several voltage-gated ion channel behaviors, including sodium (Nav), calcium (Cav), and potassium (Kv) channels, and are set as a therapeutic approach. Particularly, calcium-channel blockers are the most common action of medicines with a dihydropyridine ring and are often used to treat hypertension and heart-related problems. Finally, this chapter gives the prospects of highly potent bioactive molecules to emphasize the advantages of using pyridine and dihydropyridine in drug design. This chapter discusses pyridine derivatives acting on cardiac ionic channels to combat CVS diseases. The book chapter describes the importance of pyridine derivatives as a novel class of medications for treating cardiovascular disorders.
Changing Socioeconomic Structure of Paudi Bhuyans, a Particular Vulnerable Tribe of Odisha, India
Authors: Bhowmick Abhishek
Published: November 2022

Socioeconomic change in the era of globalization is omnipresent. The impact seems to be more in the case of indigenous people. The present article is an attempt to understand these changes from both the emic and etic perspective for the Particular Vulnerable tribal Paudi Bhuyan. As any indigenous people, the inherent capacity to protect the change in their cultural core is a challenge. With the effect of Globalization, there is a steady change in the culture, and the article tries to decipher these changes and the way forward. The changes that are being studied are related to social, which include life cycle rituals, religious practices, material culture, administration (politics), and economic pursuits. These changes will lead to adaptation of certain phenomena, which is either voluntarily adapted or due to incorporation to facilitate the ease in administrative functionality of the Union of India. Thus, social change is inevitable to any society and especially the indigenous population such as Paudi Bhuyans. The present article tries to find out the primitive cultural expression and the present form of socioeconomic changes that are relevant to the Paudi Bhuyans society. To carry out the study, the researcher carried out ethnographic study in three districts of Odisha where the concentration of Paudi Bhuyans is maximum. The findings can be summarized as though there are changes in socioeconomic condition from the past, but the cultural core related to life cycle rituals, administration, economy is still significantly present in the Paudi Bhuyans.

Primary total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) are among the most common procedures performed in the United States. The volume of revision TKAs and THAs are also exponentially rising each year. Paramount to the success of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is the correct choice of biomaterials which are used to reconstruct a particular joint. This chapter explores the history of common arthroplasty biomaterials, their biomechanical properties and current applications. This chapter also discusses modern strategies of improving biomaterial mechanical properties, survivability and sterilisation methods. The contents of this chapter will form an essential resource for practicing orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic trainees, researchers and engineers interested in tribology and biomechanics of biomaterials in adult reconstruction.
Design and CFD Analysis on the Reduction of Thermal Effect in Re-entry Vehicle by Using Retractable Aerospike
Authors: Kumar Sulur Loganathan Pradeep
Published: November 2022

The shape optimization of two spike classes was investigated in this study. A spike with a sharp and blunt spikes reduces drag and aero-thermodynamic heating and enables longer ranges for economical flight. Conversion of kinetic energy into heat when coming down to earth causes damage—the blunt nose design increases maximum temperature and density at the vehicle’s nose. Sharp-fore bodies reduce drag but provide only an area for dispersing heat flux downstream of the shock wave—the increased area of a blunt fore-body aids in efficient heat dissipation. ANSYS Fluent is used to analyze blunt bodies with blunt and sharp spike configurations, as well as the effect of counter flow. The findings suggest drag reductions ranging from 44% to 61%. The twin-spike design is the best among the models studied, with a 44 percent reduction in peak heat flux and a 46 percent reduction in the drag coefficient. Thermal protection systems, commonly used to reduce heat in re-entry vehicles, are costly. The aim of this study is to minimize re-entry heating by introducing a spike in the frontal region of the nose and preventing further vehicle damage at high temperatures.

An imperative contemporary management dilemma in moments of rapidly evolving regarding the ongoing digital transformation of business and society in general is recognizing and trying to translate these adjustments into digital business model innovation (DBMI). Academia has plenty to show in exchange of assisting with this managerial problem, but studies in the field still seem to be hazy in terms of what DBMI is, the present, future, and vision. Therefore, this article aimed to review the present situation of DBMI, its future, and its vision in the general context. The secondary databases were used to collect the relevant articles, and the outcome of the study found that DBMI has attained prolonged growth in different businesses especially in COVID-19 period. This scenario would not be changed in future because of increasing digital impact on several businesses. Therefore, it is recommended for all types of businesses to adopt digital business model innovation to attain competitive advantage.
On the Use of the Ensemble Kalman Filter for Torrential Rainfall Forecasts
Authors: Maejima Yasumitsu
Published: November 2022

Torrential rainfall is a threat to modern human society. To prevent severe disasters by the torrential rains, it is an essential to accurate the numerical weather prediction. This article reports an effort to improve torrential rainfall forecasts by the Ensemble Kalman Filter based on the recent studies. Two series of numerical experiments are reported in this chapter. One is a dense surface observation data assimilation for a disastrous rainfall event caused by active rainband maintained for a long time. Although an experiment with a conventional observation data set represents the rainband, the significant dislocation and the underestimated precipitation amount are found. By contrast, dense surface data assimilation contributes to improve both the location and surface precipitation amount of the rainband. The other is the rapid-update high-resolution experiment with every 30-second Phased Array Weather Radar (PAWR) data for an isolated convective system associated with a local torrential rain. The representation of this event is completely missed without the PAWR data, whereas the active convection is well represented including fine three-dimensional structure by PAWR data assimilation. Throughout these studies, the data assimilation by Ensemble Kalman Filter has a large positive impact on the forecasts for torrential rainfall events.

Published: November 2022

Steam/vacuum heating systems are employed in thousands of old tall buildings and even relatively new ones. Although considered obsolete, these systems excels any other in simplicity and resilience and can match modern efficiency standards after thorough retrofit. Efficient and simple, the NextGen vacuum heating is suggested for existing steam heating systems retrofit and for new installations that use modern technologies and materials.
Aspects Considered in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer for Radioiodine Therapy
Authors: Elliyanti Aisyah
Published: November 2022

Thyroid cancer incidence has rapidly increased in high-income countries for the past 30 years. The increase in thyroid cancer cases may be due to improved diagnostic methods or exposure to unknown risk factors. Even though new thyroid cancer cases have increased, the mortality rate is relatively stable. Most thyroid cancer is differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Conventional management of DTC consists of near-total thyroidectomy followed by ablation therapy with radioiodine-131 (RAI). RAI was first used nearly 80 years ago to treat thyroid cancer and still plays a pivotal role in managing DTC. There are three RAI therapy options: remnant ablation, adjuvant therapy, and known disease treatments. After thyroid resection, radioactive Iodine-131 (RAI) is recommended for patients with intermediate to high risk of recurrent disease or distant metastases. Long-term follow-up is needed to detect a persistence or recurrence of the disease after initial RAI administration. RAI effectively improves treatment efficiency and reduces the risk of cancer recurrence and metastasis post-thyroid resection. Clinical outcome prediction is ultimately defined by appropriate management. This article will review some factors to consider when planning RAI therapy for DTC and subsequent surveillance after the therapy.
Food Detection and Feeding Behavior of Three Species of Household Cockroaches, Blatella germanica (L.), Periplaneta americana (L.), and Supella longipalpa (F.)
Authors: Chandra Neupane Anil
Published: November 2022

German cockroaches (Blatella germanica L.), American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana L.,) and brown-banded cockroaches (Supella longipapla F.) are the most important urban insect pests. The food detection and feeding behavior of these cockroaches are varied and depend on different factors. German cockroach starts feeding between 7:00–10:00 pm and 4:00–5:00 am, whereas the American cockroach starts within the first few hours of darkness followed by an inactive period in the latter part, and throughout the light period. The calling in females of brown-banded cockroaches followed periodicity and peak calling occurs in the scotophase. Likewise, the behavioral response of male brown-banded cockroaches was at a peak in the scotophase. German cockroach compound eye is sensitive to blue-green portion of the spectrum (major) and ultraviolet (UV) (minor). The compound eye of the American cockroach received the blue-green and violet (or ultraviolet) regions of the spectrum. Information on the compound eye sensitivity of brown-banded cockroaches is limited. The possession of specific hygroreceptors could play an important role in both German and American cockroaches. The German cockroach preferred carbohydrates food and consumed more containing starch, glucose, sucrose, mannitol, maltose, sorbitol, or glycerol. Very limited studies were carried out to determine the food detection ability and the feeding behavior of the brown-banded cockroach. Future studies should be directed toward the color preferences of the brown-banded cockroach.
Conduction System Disorders Associated with Valvular Heart Disease and Interventions
Authors: Mian Muhtashim , Rehman Khan Habib
Published: November 2022

The aging population of the Western world will lead to an increase in cardiac pathologies. Valvular disorders include a spectrum of progressive diseases that confers mechanical and functional impairment, including issues with the cardiac conduction system. Pacemakers are a therapeutic standard to reinstate the synchrony of cardiac contraction. Permanent pacemakers are often required for severe, chronic presentations and have been effective in nullifying symptoms and improving cardiac function. Yet, these devices impart new risks and complications that require additional interventions. However, recent advancements in leadless pacemakers and cardiac resynchronization therapy provide a novel approach to applying pacemaker technology and have been shown to reduce associated risks and improve patient outcomes.

Introduction: In this study we aimed to assess the impact of an electronic health assessment with individualized feedback for risk behaviors in adolescents seeking care in a pediatric emergency department (ED).

Methods: We conducted a randomized control trial using a tablet-based screening program with a study population of adolescents in a busy pediatric ED. The intervention group received the screening program with individualized feedback. The control group received the screening program without feedback. All participants received one-day and three-month follow-up surveys to assess behaviors and attitudes toward health behaviors.

Results: A total of 296 subjects were enrolled and randomized. There was no difference in changes in risky behaviors between the control and experimental groups. A higher proportion of participants in the intervention groups reported that the screener changed the way they thought about their health at one-day follow-up (27.0%, 36/133) compared to the control group (15.5%, 20/129, P = .02).

Conclusion: This study successfully tested a multivariable electronic health screener in a real-world setting of a busy pediatric ED. The tool did not significantly change risky health behaviors in the adolescent population screened. However, our finding that the intervention changed adolescents’ perceptions of their health opens a door to the continued development of electronic interventions to screen for and target risk behaviors in adolescents in the ED setting.
