BACKGROUND: Multiple factors affect the sleep quality of individuals with intestinal stomas. PURPOSE: This study sought to determine sleep quality and factors affecting sleep in individuals with intestinal ostomies. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. This study followed 68 individuals with intestinal stomas at the stoma therapy unit of a university hospital. A form was used to gather information about patient demographic and stoma-related data (age, sex, work status, stoma duration, cause and type of stoma, stoma care provider, sleep status during the day, daily coffee consumption, and stoma-related factors affecting sleep), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to score patient sleep patterns. Descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The patients’ mean age was 53.7 ± 13.8 years; 51.5% were male, and 66.2% were married. Of the 68 patients, 41.2% had a diagnosis of rectal cancer, and 55.9% had ileostomies. Mean stoma duration was 24.1 ± 5.8 months, and 57.4% of participants performed their own stoma care. On a scale of 0 to 21, the participants’ mean sleep score was 9.08 ± 5.03, and 66.2% of patients were found to have poor sleep quality. High sleep quality was significantly positively associated with colostomy (odds ratio, 1.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18–2.69; P = .006) and self-performed stoma care (odds ratio, 1.54; 95% confidence interval, 1.03–2.30; P = .036). CONCLUSION: The results of the current study can provide reference data for future studies and highlight the importance of assessing sleep quality in persons with intestinal stomas.

The Use of Natural Fatty Acids for the Biotechnological Production of Natural Flavour Compounds: Application to Ethyl trans-2,cis-4-decadienoate
Authors: Gatfield Ian L. , Hilmer Jens-Michael , Bertram Heinz-Jürgen
Published: May 2022

Natural flavour compounds can be obtained by a number of processes, one of the most important of which is the enzymatic conversion of natural substrates. The immobilised lipase from the yeast Candida antarctica, is capable of transesterifying Stillingia oil in the presence of ethanol, thereby producing a complex mixture of ethyl esters. The efficiency of the biotransformation step is high and lies in the region of 95%. By means of fractional distillation, the ethyl ester of trans-2,cis-4-decadienoic acid can be isolated from this mixture in approximately 5% yield and with a high degree of purity. The product thus obtained exhibits the sensory properties typical for this well-known character impact compound of the pear.

Published: May 2022

Added to grapefruit IntegroPectin in solution the micronized cellulose CytroCell, co-product of the IntegroPectin extraction via hydrodynamic cavitation, enhances the structural and thermal properties of the resulting cross-linked composite films. The films become strong but remain highly flexible as no transition glass temperature is observed, whereas the thermal properties are substantially improved. No organic solvent, acid or base is used from the extraction of the new pectin and cellulose biopolymers through filming their nanocomposites, thereby establishing a completely green route to a new class of biobased 2D films (and 3D scaffolds) with numerous potential application in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and in the treatment of infections.
Deoxygenation of chalcogen oxides EO2 (E = S, Se) with phosphaWittig reagents

Published: May 2022

In here we present the deoxygenation of chalcogen oxides EO2 (E = S, Se) with phosphanylidene-σ4-phosphoranes, also referred to as phospha-Wittig reagents. The reaction of DABSO (DABCO⋅2SO2) with R–P(PMe3) (R = Mes*, 2,4,6-tBu3-C6H2; MesTer, 2,6-(2,4,6-Me3-C6H2)2-C6H3) resulted in the formation of three-membered thiadiphosphiranes (RP)2S (1:R). In similar fashion the reaction with SeO2 afforded selenadiphosphiranes (RP)2Se (2:R). Utilizing the sterically more encumbered DipTer– P(PMe3) (DipTer = 2,6-(2,6-iPr2-C6H3)2-C6H3) less selective reactions were observed. Here, reaction with DABSO (or with equimolar ratios of SeO2 at elevated temperatures) gave rise to the formation of the PMe3O-stabilized dioxophosphorane (phosphinidene dioxide) DipTerP(O)2–OPMe3 (3:DipTer) as the main product. Mass spectrometric investigations furthermore indicate the formation of a series of asymmetric dimers of chalcogenaphosphoranes DipTerPE1 and dichalcogenaphosphoranes DipTerP(E1E2)2 (E1,2 = O, S) of the general formula (DipTerP)2S3–xOx (x = 0, 1, 2) when using DABSO. By2 carefully screening the reaction conditions of DipTer−P(PMe3) with SeO2 the selenadiphosphirane (DipTerP)2Se (2:DipTer) and the four-membered ring species (DipTerPSe)2 (8:DipTer) were obtained. Thus, phospha-Wittig reagents are useful synthetic tools for the metal-free deoxygenation of EO2 (E = S, Se).

Electrospray deposition (ESD) uses charged droplets at the micro- and nano-scale to create a wide variety of particles and coatings. In ESD, an electrostatic force is applied to a solution, which then disperses charged droplets loaded with the materials to be deposited on a grounded target. Because the droplets carry charge, repulsive effects due to accumulation of charge in a coating (self-limiting electrospray) or “crowding” of the spray droplets can reduce the efficiency of the approach. This is especially the case when the targets are smaller than the characteristic size of the spray plume. For this reason, while many studies have presumed high efficiency in ESD, the actual measured efficiencies for small targets are much lower. Here, it is shown how architecting the local “charge landscape” can lead to ESD coatings approaching 100% deposition efficiency on both flat and microneedle array targets composed of multiple model materials, including biocompatible polymers, proteins, and bioactive small molecules. In this way, ESD can be considered a viable alternative to other conformal approaches, such as dip or inkjet coating.

Published: May 2022

Background. Bacterial pneumonia is a frequent complication of ischemic stroke at the hospital stage. The search for prognostic laboratory markers of pneumonia remains an urgent task, as it will allow to individualize the approach to the treatment and rehabilitation of such patients. Aim. To investigate the prognostic significance of proteins of the acute phase of inflammation, as well as to evaluate them as early predictors of the development of pneumonia in patients with ischemic stroke. Materials and methods. The study included 302 patients in the acute period of ischemic stroke. C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor , interleukin-6 (IL-6), neutrophil elastase, neopterin, serum amyloid A (SAA), secreted phospholipase type 2 (sPLA2) were determined in all patients on the first day by enzyme immunoassay. Statistical data processing was carried out using SPSS and Microsoft Excel software (USA). Results. At the hospital stage, pneumonia developed in 82/302 patients (27.2%; 95% confidence interval 22.332.3%). The levels of CRP, IL-6, sPLA2, SAA and neopterin significantly differed in the presence and absence of pneumonia. Step-by-step logistic regression analysis revealed the significance of IL-6 and CRP concentrations in the prognosis of pneumonia. The threshold value of IL-6 concentration was 3.45 pg/ml (sensitivity 82.4%, specificity 66.7%). The prognostic value of a positive result (PPR) in the prognosis of pneumonia was 40%, a negative result (PNR) 92%. The threshold value of CRP was 1640 mg/l with a sensitivity of 65.8% and a specificity of 74.8%. The PPR of the threshold value of the concentration of CRP was 45%, PNR 80%. Conclusion. The measurement of the concentration of IL-6 and CRP on the first day of ischemic stroke makes it possible to identify patients with the greatest risk of pneumonia at the hospital stage. The results of the work indicate the necessity to include CRP and IL-6 in the list of mandatory laboratory tests that should be carried out for each patient with ischemic stroke on the first day from the onset of the disease.

Children with Cardiomyopathy have Active Lifestyles Despite Reporting Disease-Specific Barriers to Physical Activity: A Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: Moncion Kevin , Gardin Letizia , Lougheed Jane , Adamo Kristi , Longmuir Patricia E.
Published: May 2022

Objectives: This exploratory mixed-methods study explored the barriers to physical activity, daily physical activity and submaximal exercise capacity among children with and at risk for cardiomyopathy and children with atrial septal defects.Methods: The study followed a convergent parallel mixed methodology design. Semi-structured interviews explored physical activity barriers. Seven-day accelerometry assessed moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and an intermittent cardiopulmonary exercise test measured submaximal exercise capacity.Results: Twenty children, including 5 with cardiomyopathy (n=2 females, 14.2 ± 2.7 years old), 7 who were genotype-positive phenotype-negative for cardiomyopathy (n=5 females, 10.6 ± 3.3 years old) and 8 with atrial septal defects (n=4 females, 9.4 ± 3.8 years old) were recruited. Children with cardiomyopathy reported disease-specific physical activity barriers, while children who were genotype-positive phenotype-negative perceived barriers related to lack of time, parent support or activity motivation. The average daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was less than the recommended 60-minutes/day (n=20, mean 48.1 ± 18.0 minutes). Children with cardiomyopathy participated a median of 141.2 [interquartile range (IQR): 98.8) minutes of light-intensity physical activity and a median of 55.6 (IQR: 34.6) minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. The average submaximal exercise capacity was low (n=16, 25.2 ± 5.7 mL/kg/min). Estimated submaximal exercise capacity, including metabolic equivalent (4.5 ± 3.1 METs), respiratory exchange ratio (median = 1.0, IQR: 0.09) and ratings of perceived exertion (median = 7, IQR: 5) at peak exercise suggest that children with cardiomyopathy appear to have the exercise capacity to participate in low-to-moderate intensity activities.Conclusions: These novel data suggest that a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy may not preclude children from participating in a healthy, active lifestyle. However, they perceive disease-specific physical activity barriers and may require support to optimize their level of participation for optimal health.

The analysis of the impact of various methods of thawing on the physicochemical
properties of post laying hen breast meat (musculus pectoralis superficialis) was studied.
The treatments of various methods of thawing include water immersion (with the
temperature measured at 20°C), thawing under tap water (water changes with the
temperature measured at 30°C) and the water bath method (with the temperature measured
at 40°C). The physical properties such as pH, cooking loss, drip loss, Water Holding
Capacity (WHC) and hardness were being evaluated. Meanwhile, the chemical properties
such as protein and fat content, protein profile and microstructure were being assessed as
well. The analysis revealed significant (P<0.05) impacts on the meat quality properties
depending on various thawing methods which were being subjected. The practical thawing
method is to use water immersion at 20oC, which can be recommended to the public.
Screening of Lactobacillus rhamnosus-producing gamma aminobutyric acid
(GABA) isolated from Sumbawa mare milk and its potential application to
increase GABA content in fermented milk
Authors: Nursini N.W. , Antara N.S. , Sugitha I.M. , Sujaya I.N.
Published: May 2022

The broad role of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in human health has triggered
various efforts to increase its concentration in foodstuffs. The use of microorganisms to
increase the GABA content in food is a rational choice. The objective of this study was to
identify the GABA-producing Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain isolated from Sumbawa
mare milk and its potential application as a starter to increase GABA content in fermented
milk. A total of 34 L. rhamnosus strains were screened for their ability to produce GABA
in MRS medium containing 2% monosodium glutamate (MSG). GABA presence in the
culture broth was analysed qualitatively by using TLC, whereas GABA concentration was
determined using UPLC. The results showed that 17 out of 34 L. rhamnosus strains
produced GABA at varying concentrations from 0.047 to 0.384 mg/mL. Six selected
strains were determined for their capacity in GABA production in skim milk without
MSG addition. The results showed that GABA was produced by L. rhamnosus strains on
skim milk ranging from 0.07 to 2.01 mg/mL L. rhamnosus SMM37 possessed the highest
GABA production capability, which produced 2.01 mg/mL in skim milk after
fermentation for 72 hrs at 37oC. These results indicated that L. rhamnosus strains isolated
from Sumbawa mare milk have the potential to be developed as a starter culture to
increase GABA content in fermented milk. Nevertheless, further studies are needed in
optimizing fermentation conditions to improve GABA production from the L. rhamnosus
strains isolated from Sumbawa mare milk.
On Achieving Strategic Goals and Ensuring the Security of Modern Russia
Authors: Kazantsev S. V.
Published: May 2022

The strategic objectives of the subject (a person, a group of individuals, an estate, a class, a nation, a community, a state, groups of states, a society) are determined mainly by the conditions in which the subject is located. It includes its specifications (including traditions, worldview, level of development, and available knowledge) by its capabilities and opportunities. Changing even one of the listed factors can cause a change in goals. The paper presents the results of a study of the movement towards achieving vital goals that society sets for the long term: society’s strategic goals. The goal of society in this study the author understood as a specific image (representation) of the result formed by society, which it strives to achieve. The author assessed the speed and nature of the movement towards achieving the constituent components of the strategic goals of the Russian Federation — preserving the nation and increasing the economic power of the country. Statistical data of the World Bank and the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation from 1992 to 2020 served as initial information for calculations. The calculations performed showed that the movement towards achieving the set goals was of an oscillatory nature, and the amplitude of fluctuations in time tended to decrease. The latter indicates a slowdown in the speed of approaching the set goals.

Published: May 2022

The article describes the features of building and assessment of spatial development scenarios in long-term forecasts. The author used the scenario approach for qualitative and quantitative assessment of alternative strategies for regional development within the framework of the macroeconomic forecast for the development of the Russian economy. Further, the author analyzed the experience of developing spatial scenarios for the EU countries and Russia. Next, the longterm regional trends are presented, which, due to the high inertia of space, will determine spatial development in the future. The author also describes modern problems that significantly impact the choice of strategies for the regions. Prospects for spatial development the author assessed in the framework of three forecast scenarios. For two options of the macroeconomic forecast, the author calculated quantitative estimates of the spatial development parameters characterizing the scenarios. Relevant calculations the author performed using macroeconomic and interregional forecasting and analytical models. Finally, the author showed the advantages of the scenario of balanced growth from the standpoint of implementing national goals of social and economic development.

Authors: Nagayoshi Caio Seiji , Scarpa Daniela Lopes
Published: May 2022

The comprehension of the nature of science (NOS) is widely accepted as a fundamental component of scientific literacy and a central goal in science education. At the same time, the teaching of Philosophy (including philosophy of science) is present in pre-college education in different countries, Brazil being among them. However, little has been discussed concerning the possible interplay between these two fields and its implications. The present study investigates the topics on philosophy of science addressed by Philosophy textbooks included in the National Textbook Program 2018 by means of content analysis. The convergences and divergences between the images of science conveyed by the textbooks and the literature on NOS are discussed. The need for further dialogue between science and Philosophy education, both in school practice and research, is pointed out.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been regarded as feasible interceptors of microplastics, which have now contaminated all spheres of the environment. The microplastics removed from WWTPs are frequently trapped in the sludge produced. This article aims to examine the abundance of microplastics in the sludge of WWTPs in different regions by reviewing the relevant scholarly papers published between 2016 to 2022. The papers were retrieved from three databases, namely Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. WWTPs receive influents containing microplastics whose abundance differs significantly in relation to the population density, urbanization level, and land use of the areas served. Depending on the water treatment strategies and the efficiencies of the WWTPs, a large proportion of the microplastics in the influents is trapped in the sludge, giving a common sludge-to-influent abundance ratio of 0.02 to 0.77, though a ratio of 3.4 has been reported for recycled activated sludge. Sludge treatment affects the final abundance of microplastics therein. However, a relationship between the abundance of microplastics in influents and that in sludge cannot be established. The reutilization of sludge as fertilizer introduces microplastics back into the environment and significantly compromises the potential of WWTPs as interceptors and sinks of microplastics. This review calls for strategies and technologies to reduce, if not remove microplastics in the sludge of WWTPs. It suggests that future research could take this path to optimize the role of WWTPs as sinks of microplastics. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-010 Full Text: PDF
Decision-making Improvement in Dynamic Environments Using Machine Learning

Published: May 2022

The proliferation of ubiquitous computing with smartphones makes context models and information extremely rich and dynamic on account of highly dynamic environments. However, defining rules at design time may impair their efficiency and the decision-making process at runtime. Therefore, it is important to address decision-making problems leveraged by dynamic environments and context-model evolution. In this sense, a solution that could emerge is the continuous rule knowledge base evolution at runtime. In this paper, we propose a decision adaptation component that relies on generating new rules due to changes occurring around users at runtime. This component aims to support decision-making in dynamic environments and to alleviate the human effort needed to infer new rules. A case study was conducted to illustrate the implementation of the proposed component for the rule knowledge database enrichment and the decision-making improvement. Moreover, an experimental evaluation is provided to assess the effectiveness of the proposed component. The results show that this component exhibits better effectiveness than other well-known algorithms and state-of-the-art approaches. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-04 Full Text: PDF

Digitalization leads to increasing complexity and tight coupling of business processes. This increases the risk of "natural accidents". An answer to this proneness is a holistic mindfulness culture. The mindfulness dimension requires a holistic approach because it includes multiple aspects. This mindfulness should be reflected in the self-assessment of a company's employees. It is attempted to clarify whether social media allows an insight into how self-proclaimed qualifications are distributed in current enterprises. Social networks are particularly suitable because the members try to reflect the perceived demands of the companies while the characteristics presented are "quality assured" by connected members. More than 3500 profiles of senior IT managers were examined on the social network XING. COBIT has been used for categorization as a proven holistic approach for IT governance and structuring tool. The study shows that executives can be primarily categorized as generalists or specialists, both embracing a holistic perception, and therefore social media is suitable for general studies of qualifications in a business environment. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-05 Full Text: PDF

This study examined the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption in the period 1986–2015 for 15 selected developed countries. In this study, in which the dynamic panel analysis method was used, cross-section dependence and homogeneity tests were taken into account. Accordingly, unit root and cointegration tests were decided. According to the cointegration test results, it has been determined that there is a long-term relationship between economic growth and energy consumption. The results obtained from the Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality test analysis show that there is a bidirectional causality relationship. As a result of the analysis, it has been concluded that economic growth and energy consumption are the causes of each other for the period of 1986–2015 in 15 selected developed countries.JEL Classification:O40, O13, C23. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-06 Full Text: PDF

Published: May 2022

In a given network there exist many paths from source to destination, among all selected paths finding the optimal shortest path is a challenging task. In this research paper, we proposed a new concept of particle swarm optimization technique, called swarm intelligence, to solve the multicast routing problem to find out the optimal route associated with a network, here we also used triangular fuzzy number tools to encode particles in PSO (particle swarm optimization), first it breaks the network into small spaces and from the small space it computes the optimal path.
