Authors: Nsiah Irene , J. Campbell Patrick , A. Parikh Megha , E. Hines Lisa , Pickering Matthew , P. Nau David
Published: December 2023

This study examined the association between persistence to basal insulin and clinical and economic health outcomes. The question of whether a persistence measure for basal insulin could be leveraged in quality measurement was also explored. Using the IBM-Truven MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental Databases from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2015, a total of 14,126 subjects were included in the analyses wherein 9,898 (70.1%) were categorized as persistent with basal insulin therapy. Basal insulin persistence was associated with lower A1C, fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and lower health care expenditures. Quality measures based on prescription drug claims for basal insulin are feasible and should be considered for guiding quality improvement efforts.

Key Points

· Persistence to insulin is important to the achievement of glycemic control for people with diabetes.

· Persistence to basal insulin therapy can be readily measured using prescription drug claims data and is related to improved outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes.

· A quality measure for persistence to basal insulin therapy could promote diabetes population health.

El presente estudio analiza las narrativas y mediaciones del melodrama tomando como caso las telenovelas. En este sentido, se realiza un recorrido teórico de revisión bibliográfica centrada en entender categorías como mediaciones, el melodrama, la telenovela y usos sociales; categorías que permiten comprender con mayor profundidad, por un lado, cuál es la dinámica de la telenovela dentro de la industria cultural y, por el otro lado, cómo este género de la televisión también se convierte en un elemento que genera ruptura con la lógica capitalista del consumismo para reflejar la cultura popular en la cotidianidad. De este modo, los principales resultados determinaron que el melodrama se convierte en el elemento indispensable para dar continuidad a prácticas que legitiman a los grupos de poder, donde los mass media se han convertido en constructores de realidades expresadas en la telenovela, pero que, sin embargo, este género también cumple otra función la de perpetuar los roles que el sistema establece. Se concluye, de este modo, que a pesar de que el discurso y la narrativa de la telenovela, que toma como elemento esencial el melodrama, es decir, en donde confluyen sentimientos que se identifican con las audiencias; en la práctica también se convierte en un fenómeno social que irrumpe con la lógica capitalista, al reflejar prácticas cotidianas de la llamada cultura popular que también está latente.

ABSTRACT

A. lumbricoides infection causes childern death in Indonesia. Treatment of the infection can be done by giving medicine or by using herbal ingredients. Herbal ingredients to eradicate worms could be an option since they have minimal side effects. Ginger (Zingiber Officinale var. Roscoe) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) are known to have anthelmintics properties. This is an experimental research that compares the lethal effect of ginger and turmeric against Ascaris suum based on the concentration and time of exposure. A. suum worm has a morphology and life cycle that resembles A. lumbricoides and A. suum is easier to obtain, so researchers used A. suum as sample. The sample of this research is 5 A.suum adult worms on each group with three repetitions. The extract of ginger and turmeric was obtained by remaceration technique. The samples were divided into four groups on each extract, control group (NaCl 0,9%), 2%, 4%, and 8% concentration extract, then observed for 48 hours. Both ginger and turmeric lethal effect has a significant difference based on the concentration with p<0,000 to control negative. Post-hoc analysis shows no significant difference on the lethal effect between ginger and turmeric extract. Ginger and turmeric has anthelmintic activity against A.suum that depends on the amount of concentration and the time of exposure.

Obtained results show that the presented method can eliminate 69% of parameters while accuracy being declined only by 1.4%, which can be further improved to 0.7% by excluding context network modules from the pruning method.
Акомплементарность в системе подготовки и оценки деятельности практического психолога образования
Authors: Pakhalyan Viktor Eduardovich
Published: December 2023

The question of non-complementarity in the system of training and evaluation of the work of educational psychologists is examined. Through an analysis and comparison of various texts, ranging from legal and regulatory documents to specialized research, the author presents his view on the origins of this type of contradiction between psychological training in Russia and the system of evaluation of educational psychologists in the field of education. The results of this analysis offer insights into possible ways to solve the existing problem. This position is based on the identified contradictions between the following elements within the training of educational psychologists and the assessment of their professional activities: 1) legal and regulatory, 2) methodological, 3) educational, and 4) personal (personal-professional). The possibilities for resolving these contradictions are described in detail: Defining the basic characteristics of educational psychologists’ activities in the Federal State Educational Standards (FSES) and professional performance standards, as well as in the legal and methodological documents related to the work of school psychologists. Eliminate “methodological chaos” by creating a professional and scientifically accurate understanding of the content of educational psychology and its major areas of work in education. Legal clarification of the position and role of the psychologist in the education system and evaluation of the work of the educational psychologist.

Рассматривается проблема акомплементарности в системе подготовки и оценки деятельности практического психолога образования. С помощью анализа и сравнения текстов различных публикаций (от юридических и нормативных документов до текста специальных исследований) автор показывает свое видение истоков такого рода «десинхронизации» системы подготовки и оценки деятельности практического психолога образования. Полученный в результате проведенного анализа результат позволяет выделить пути возможного преодоления существующей проблемы. В качестве оснований такого положения дел в системе подготовки и оценки деятельности практического психолога образования выделяются следующие несоответствия/не комплементарные отношения между элементами: 1) нормативно-правовые; 2) методологические; 3) образовательные; 4) личностные (личностно-профессиональные). Подробно описаны способы их преодоления: определение базовых характеристик деятельности специалистов-психологов во ФГОС и стандартах профессиональной деятельности, в нормативных и методических ведомственных документах по деятельности педагога-психолога; выход из «методологического хаоса» в понимании сути практической психологи, создание профессионального и научно-корректного понимание содержания как самой практической психологии в сфере образования, так и основных видов работ практического психолога образования; нормативное закрепление места и роли личности психолога в подготовки и оценки деятельности практического психолога образования.

Authors: Pardede Sonora Gokma , Nelson Febby Mutiara
Published: December 2023

Press coverage on criminal news has allegedly conducted trial by the press. Media seems to take the role as law enforcement by searching for evidence, interviewing witnesses, analyzing the case and at the end judging based on their opinion towards the criminal case. Trial by the press certainly contradict the principle of presumption of innocence and the fair trial. Trial by the press often found when reporting the news of murder case of Brigadier Yosua and the domestic violence case of Valencya. This research studied about the impact of trial by the press on the process of criminal law enforcement in Indonesia and how the media covers the criminal case to avoid trial by the press. The research method used is juridical normative with conceptual analysis, statute approach and case analysis. The findings of the research are that trial by the press resulted in trial by the public where people conclude their own judgment of one particular case. Post entry into force of the New Penal Code, alleged media conducting trial by the press is subject to imprisonment and fine under Article 281 of the New Penal Code

Published: December 2023

I den här studien studerades hälsolitteracitetens samband med motions- och idrottsvanor och subjektiv hälsa bland studerande i svenskspråkiga gymnasier och yrkesskolor i Finland.
Som datamaterial användes nationella LIITU-studien som ordnades för första gången bland studerande i finsk- och svenskspråkiga gymnasier och yrkesskolor på våren och hösten 2020 när covid-19-pandemin pågick. Data insamlades med en elektronisk enkät som studerandena fyllde i under skoltid. Enkäten innehöll frågor om hälsolitteracitet samt fysisk, psykisk och social hälsa. Hälsolitteracitet mättes med validerade mätinstrumentet Health Literacy for School-Aged Children (HLSAC), som bestod av 10 påståenden gällande teoretiska och praktiska färdigheter, kritiskt tänkande, självkännedom och etiskt ansvar. Nivån av hälsolitteracitet bestämdes utgående från validerade poänggränser.
Som statistiska analysmetoder användes Mann-Whitney U -test, chi2-test och logistiska regressionsanalyser.
Sammanlagt deltog 887 svenskspråkiga studerande. Hälsolitteraciteten var högre bland kvinnorna jämfört med männen, gymnasiestuderande jämfört med yrkesstuderande och på våren jämfört med hösten. De som hade hög hälsolitteracitet uppnådde i högre grad motionsrekommendationerna, hade bättre självskattad hälsa och upplevde psykiska besvär mer sällan jämfört med de som hade lägre hälsolitteracitet. Bland männen associerade hälsolitteracitet också positivt med regelbundet och aktivt idrottande i idrottsförening.
Resultaten stöder tidigare forskningsresultat om hälsolitteracitetens väsentliga betydelse i främjande av individers välmående. Pandemiåret gav unika infallsvinklar i ämnesområdet. För att minska på skillnader i hälsa mellan olika befolkningsgrupper är det viktigt att i framtiden forska mera i ämnesområdet samt kartlägga vilken roll till exempel skolor och idrottsföreningar har i jämlikt främjande av hälsolitteracitet.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Yağmur Özge , KİBAR Beyhan
Published: December 2023

This research was conducted to determine the effects of different growing media and humic acid doses on plant growth parameters and quality properties in cherry-red radish. In the study, 4 different growing media [Soil, Peat:Perlite (1:1), Peat:Perlite (2:1) and Peat:Perlite (3:1)] consisting of soil and mixtures of peat and perlite at different ratios were used. In addition to, 0 (control), 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm doses of humic acid in liquid form named TKİ Hümas were investigated. Rolex F1 cherry-red radish variety (Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) was used in the study. According to the findings obtained from the research, it was detected that Peat:Perlite (2:1) medium came to the forefront in terms of plant growth parameters and quality properties among the growing media. It was found that humic acid applications (500, 1000 and 2000 ppm) significantly increased tuber fresh weight, tuber diameter and tuber length compared to the control (0 ppm). Among the humic acid doses, the highest tuber fresh weight, tuber diameter and tuber length were obtained from 1000 ppm dose. In general, it was determined that soilless growing media and humic acid had positive effects on plant growth and quality. When the growing media and humic acid doses are evaluated among themselves, it was concluded that especially Peat:Perlite (2:1) medium and 1000 ppm dose were more effective on plant growth and quality and could be used successfully in soilless cherry-red radish cultivation in terms of agricultural sustainability and productivity.
Structural Performance of Reinforced Concrete Double Layer Bamboo Bubble Slab Under
Uniformly Distributed Load
Authors: Abdul Hamid Mohd Samsudin , Zulkiple Muhammad Zaim , Muhammad Azlan Hafizah , Mohamad Sakdun Noor Syafeekha
Published: December 2023

The architectural use areas in the structure are formed by reinforced concrete
(RC) slabs, which transport vertical loads to the beams, columns, load-bearing walls,
and shear walls. The slab is an important structural member of reinforced concrete
building structures and concrete-intensive parts of structural members. . The slab
deflects significantly when the load acting on the slab or the clear span between
columns is large. As a result, the slab's thickness increases to accommodate the load
received. Since this slab's self-weight increases as the thickness increases, the slabs
get heavier and causes the slab unable to withstand the load and to produce cracks on
the surface. At the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the creation of
the bubble deck slab became an innovation to replace conventional slab. This study used
bamboo as the bubble material in reinforced concrete bubble slab. This study examined
and assessed the mechanical properties and structural behaviour of bamboo as a bubble in
supported reinforced concrete double-layer bamboo bubble slab under a uniformly
distributed load. In this research, 500 mm x 1250 mm x 175 mm supported reinforced
concrete slabs C25 (1 sample) and C30 (1 sample) with double layer (DL) bamboo bubble
slabs were constructed. Both samples were compared with the control sample (CS) for each
slab type. It was found that the maximum displacement occurred at the centre of the
slab, with 6.45 mm for DL25 and 6.89 mm for DL30. According to stress-strain analysis,
the double layer bamboo slab produced a lower stress value than the control sample.
Since the values were smaller than 2, DL25 and DL30 slab performed better for the
ductility factor than CS25 and CS30. As a result, the displacement, ductility and
section capacity were improved by employing bamboo as a bubble material in a reinforced
concrete slab.
Stability Analysis of Mass Transfer Effects on the Unsteady Stagnation-Point Flow
Past a Permeable Sheet
Authors: Rosly Nur Syazana , Ahmad Noraini , Ahmad Syakila , Ramli Norshafira
Published: December 2023

This study involves the problem of mass transfer effects on unsteady
stagnation-point flow through a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet. Similarity
transformations in the form of nonlinear partial differential equations to ordinary
differential equations were used to reduce the basic governing equations. The resulting
equations were then solved numerically using the bvp4c function and shooting method. The
programming codes for bvp4c function were built using Matlab software, whereas the
programming codes for shooting method were built using Maple software. The effects of
the Schmidt number, stretching/shrinking, suction/injection, unsteadiness and the
reaction rate parameter on the flow and mass transfer characteristics were numerically
analysed. The boundary layer thickness and velocity gradient are also influenced by
these parameters. Dual solutions were figured out for the problems involving
stretching/shrinking sheet at the stagnation-point. To determine the stability of the
solutions obtained, stability analysis was performed by solving the linear eigenvalue
problems using the bvp4c function. The analysis showed that for the first solution,
there was an initial decay of disturbance, while the second and third solutions were
opposite, where an initial growth of disturbance were detected for both. This result
indicated that the first solution was more stable and physically realizable compared to
others.
Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil do Rio de Janeiro e as políticas urbanas municipais
Authors: Vianna Moura Heitor
Published: December 2023

Relevante no debate público nacional desde a sua fundação, o Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil não limita a sua agenda à institucionalização profissional. Este trabalho se foca em um aspecto pouco explorado nos estudos sobre o tema: a atuação dos departamentos locais do Instituto nas arenas em que as políticas urbanas municipais são discutidas, formuladas e implementadas. Para tanto, investiga-se a relação estabelecida entre o Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil – Departamento do Rio de Janeiro e a Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro sob a gestão Eduardo Paes (2009-2012/2013-2016). Objetiva-se, com isso, compreender como os representantes da entidade atuaram nas disputas em torno de temas que dominaram o debate público da cidade no período, visando a definir e legitimar a prática profissional do grupo e, ao mesmo tempo, a intervir nas propostas elaboradas ou apoiadas pela Prefeitura. A partir desse estudo de caso, pretende-se refletir sobre a atuação desse grupo profissional na disputa pelo monopólio de enunciação dos problemas da cidade, tendo o Estado como instância de legitimação.

Published: December 2023

Epidermal Nevus Syndrome (ENS) is a congenital disorder characterized by skin lesions called epidermal nevi. This condition typically appears at birth or in infancy. However, a case of adult‐onset epidermal nevi was reported in a 36‐year‐old male with a history of atopic dermatitis (AD) and skin abnormalities on the right side of his body. He had been using topical steroids for AD but eventually started dupilumab treatment at age 41. The treatment led to significant improvements in his skin condition, including a reduction in erythema and scaling. Laboratory tests also showed improvement in serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels and other markers. We report with a literature review.

Authors: Diaz-Matajira Luis , Sinn Francisca , Sandoval-Arzaga Fernando , Davis James
Published: December 2023

The family CEOs' intention to retire seems to be critical to trigger the succession process. For a more comprehensive understanding of the leadership succession in family businesses, it is important to study the antecedents of the family CEO's intended retirement age. Using a global database, we examine the incumbents' retirement age from their own perspective as the determinant of retirement timing. We apply the theory of planned behavior to explore factors affecting retirement age with a forward perspective, using the intended age of retirement as an antecedent for effective retirement age. Our results suggest that individual factors of the intended retirement age have stronger explanatory power in leader intended retirement age compared to the family business factors.

Search for inexpensive and efficient methods of critical raw materials recovery is of great importance across the world due to growing demand for green technologies. Formation and detailed characterization of new Pb- and Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE)-containing phosphates, compared to already described Pb- or LREE-containing phosphates, was described in this work. These phases were precipitated at experimental conditions similar to these used in a newly proposed coprecipitation route for REE recovery from aqueous solutions. The formation of La, Ce, Pr and Sm phosphates from aqueous solutions proceeded differently in the presence of Pb than in its absence. No rhabdophane group minerals, (REE,Ca,Th)(PO4)·nH2O were formed, which were the product of crystallization in the absence of Pb, as evidenced by the PXRD analysis of the control LREE phosphates. Instead, a new, distinct phase was formed, which is neither a ‘phosphoschultenite’, PbHPO4, with La, Ce, Pr or Sm substitution nor a rhabdophane with Pb substitution. This showed that PbHPO4 structure did not accept isomorphic substitutions of LREE elements and rhabdophane structures are reluctant to accept Pb substitutions. At the same time, the formation of a hitherto unknown crystalline phase was found to be a mixed (LREE,Pb)-phosphate. A lower pH caused higher crystallinity of phases, as confirmed by SEM and PXRD. FTIR spectroscopy showed the hydrous nature of the obtained phases, which was additionally confirmed by thermal analysis. Decreasing pH of the reaction solution resulted in a higher crystalline water content. Moreover, La-bearing phases contained more chemically bound water than other phases. A combined EDS analysis and ICP-OES led to the chemical composition of new Pb phases with La, Ce, Pr and Sm that can be expressed as La2Pb3(PO4)4·3.5H2O, Ce2Pb3(PO4)4·3.3H2O, Pr2Pb3(PO4)4·3.1H2O and Sm2Pb3(PO4)4·3.3H2O, respectively. These results give a better understanding of potential novel recovery pathways of REE from phosphate mineral sources or wastes.

Objective

We aimed to evaluate the correlations among the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lupus nephritis (LN) clinical characteristics, and renal prognosis of patients with LN.

Methods

We enrolled 122 patients who were diagnosed with LN at the Rheumatology Department of the People’s Hospital, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2013 to April 2022. We determined the occurrence of renal adverse events in patients with LN by reviewing medical records and follow-up data. Correlations were analyzed using the Spearman test, and the quartile method was applied to classify all of the 122 patients who had completed follow-up into low, medium, and high NLR groups. The Kaplan–Meier survival curve was used to conduct survival analysis, and Cox regression analyses were used to explore possible potential risk factors.

Results

The baseline NLR of patients with LN was positively correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP), serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index scores (P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum albumin (P < 0.05). Patients who completed follow-up were divided into three NLR groups based on their NLR values: 30 in the low (NLR ≤ 2.21), 62 in the medium (NLR > 2.21 and NLR ≤ 6.17), and 30 in the high NLR group (NLR > 6.17). The patient survival time before developing poor renal prognosis was significantly different among the three groups (P < 0.05). High NLR (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.453, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.260–9.464), CRP (HR = 1.009, 95% CI: 1.002–1.017), eGFR (HR = 0.979, 95% CI: 0.963–0.995), and 24-h proteinuria values (HR = 1.237, 95% CI: 1.025–1.491) as well as anti-double stranded DNA antibody positivity (HR = 3.056, 95% CI:1.069–8.736) were independent risk factors associated with a poor renal prognosis for patients with LN.

Conclusion

The baseline NLR in peripheral blood can be used as a reference index for evaluating renal function and disease activity in patients with LN, and a high NLR has predictive value for the prognosis of patients with LN.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Histosols management on soil organic matter (SOM) characteristics.
 
Theoretical framework: Histosols are soils that provide ecosystem services, especially carbon stocks. Among the environments in which these soils are formed, peatlands stand out. The conversion of these areas into agricultural systems requires soil drainage. This practice causes reductions in carbon content and changes in the structure of the SOM.
 
Methodology: The study was conducted in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The soils were classified as Histosols. Three areas were selected: a) cassava (Manihot esculenta) cultivation for 80 years; b) forest fragment for 20 years; c) consortium of coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) and cassava for 20 years. Total organic carbon (TOC); particulate organic carbon (COP); organic carbon associated with minerals (COam); fulvic acid fraction carbon (CAF); humic acid fraction carbon (CAH) and; humin fraction carbon (CHUM) were determined. Solid-state spectroscopy (UV-vis, ATR-FTIR and 13C NMR CP/MAS) was carried out to characterize the structure of the SOM.
 
Results and conclusion: The results showed that management and drainage have an impact on the TOC content, fractions and chemical structure of the SOM. The management adopted in the cassava area had an impact on the labile and humified fractions of the SOM. Spectroscopy showed that labile structures were lost in the humic acids (HA), while in the forest area only recalcitrant structures were preserved.
 
Research implications: The conversion of Histosols to agricultural production using the drainage technique promotes quantitative and qualitative changes in SOM in the long term. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to use techniques that promote carbon stocks in the soil.
 
Originality/value: This study uses spectroscopic and chemometric techniques to highlight the effects of long-term soil management on the chemical structure of the SOM and to quantify the total carbon content and SOM fractions.

Radikal bebas merupakan suatu molekul yang sangat reaktif yang dapat mengoksidasi dan mengubah molekul di sekitar. Molekul yang teroksidasi dapat menjadi radikal bebas dan akan merusak jaringan di sekitarnya serta mengancam kelangsungan hidup sel. Antioksidan menyumbangkan elektron kepada radikal bebas dan membantu mempertahankannya dalam tingkat fisiologis. Stres oksidatif terjadi jika terjadi ketidakseimbangan antara radikal bebas dan antioksidan sehingga untuk mengimbangi kekurangan antioksidan tersebut, tubuh memanfaatkan antioksidan dari luar. Bayam merah (Amaranthus sp.) sudah dikenal menjadi salah satu sumber antioksidan eksogen. Pemeriksaan in-vitro dengan eksperimental meliputi uji fitokimia kualitatif (Harborne) dan pemeriksaan bioassay yaitu uji toksisitas dengan BSLT (Meyer). Uji kualitatif fitokimia didapatkan hasil positif pada alkaloid, antosianin, betasianin, kardioglikosida, koumarin, flavonoid, glikosida, fenolik, kuinon, saponin, steroid, terpenoid serta tanin. Pada uji toksisitas didapatkan nilai LC50 sebesar 275,810 µg/mL pada daun bayam merah, sehingga berpotensi memiliki efek antimitotik.
