Published: December 2022

Introdução: Embora sejam diversos os fatores que predispõe um idoso a ser institucionalizado, distingue-se, como fator comum entre a maioria dos casos, as complicações fisiológicas, como o comprometimento cognitivo, dependências funcionais e necessidades que carecem de um cuidador profissional para a realização das atividades básicas de vida. Objetivo: Verificar a relação entre o estado nutricional e a capacidade funcional de idosos em instituições de longa permanência para idosos de uma cidade na região metropolitana de São Paulo. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo quantitativo com amostra probabilística, desenvolvido com idosos em duas instituições de longa permanência privadas. A amostra foi composta por 46 idosos e os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário contendo as variáveis sociodemográficas, avaliação nutricional por meio da mini avaliação nutricional-reduzida, dados antropométricos e avaliação funcional. Resultados: A média de idade foi de 79,5±10,71 anos, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (58,7%), solteiros (36,3%) e com até 8 anos de escolaridade (64,9%). Quanto ao perfil nutricional 39,1% se encontravam em magreza, 39,1% eutrofia e 21,7% em obesidade. Verificou-se que a maioria apresentava risco nutricional (66,7%) e apenas 15,2% eram independentes para todas as atividades básicas de vida diária. Conclusão: Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos idosos tinha risco nutricional e tinham dependência funcional e que o aumento do risco nutricional se relacionou com a redução do índice de massa corporal, do peso e com aumento do grau de dependência para as atividades básicas de vida diária.

The Role of Psychological Resilience and Family Dysfunction in the Relationship Between Parental Behavioural Addictions and Adult Mental Health
Authors: Cohen Keren , Jones Charlotte
Published: December 2022

The current study assesses the mediating role that family dysfunction and psychological resilience have in the relationship between growing up with a parent with parental addictions and developing mental health difficulties and/or addiction in adulthood. Participants included 292 adults (76.1% women), who completed an online questionnaire reporting on whether their parent(s) had behavioural addictions, their family environment during childhood, the degree of substance and behaviours dependence, and psychological symptoms and psychological resilience in the present. It was found that parental behavioural addictions were linked to more disruptive family environments during childhood and that disruptive family environments were then linked to reduced levels of psychological resilience, which in turn were linked to lower levels of mental health. Overall, the results suggest that a disruptive family environment during childhood together with psychological resilience seem to play a key role when looking at long–term negative impact of parental behavioural addictions.

Authors: Wong Gee Chuan , Tan Ban Hock
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Rising rates of antibiotic resistance prompted a review of antibiotic use policies hospitalwide. The Department of Haematology established a new set of consensus guidelines in 2002 for antibiotic use in febrile neutropenia. The aim of our study was to audit adherence to the guidelines established for febrile neutropenia in patients treated for haematologic malignancies. Materials and Methods: An antibiotic escalation pathway was developed by haematologists and infectious disease physicians. Adherence to the guidelines was audited. Patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL) who had febrile neutropenia after chemotherapy were reviewed. The audit was performed by a retrospective review of casenotes. Results: Forty patients with 100 episodes of febrile neutropenia were surveyed. Thirty-two had AML, 7 had ALL and 1 had undifferentiated leukaemia. In 76% of episodes, fever developed within the first 14 days of neutropenia. In 31 episodes, cefepime was started as the first-line agent; hence, compliance with the first-line agent was 31%. Fever defervesced in 13 episodes. The most common reason for switching antibiotics was persistent fever. There were clinical indications for non-compliance with the use of the first-line agent in all cases. There were 3 deaths – none related to non-complianc e with or strict adherence to the guidelines. Four patients had proven fungal infections. Conclusions: Given the complex nature of the cases, compliance was reasonable, as there were valid reasons in all cases where the guidelines were not adhered to. Based on our findings, the guidelines could be simplified. Key words: Adherence, Chemotherapy, Febrile neutropenia, Leukaemia, Resistance

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Many students, while performing clinical skills such as medical interviewing/ communication, physical examination, and procedural tasks, have never been observed by faculty members or residents. This study aimed to explore the relationships between final-year medical students’ self-reported confidence and the frequency of direct observation by faculty member or resident while conducting these clinical skills.

Materials and Methods: Medical students at China Medical University in Taiwan participated in the survey. Before graduating, they were asked to answer a questionnaire about (1) their confidence in performing 17 clinical skills including medical interviewing/communication, physical examination, and procedural tasks, and (2) the number of times they had been directly observed by faculty members or residents during student-patient encounters.

Results: Many students reported never having been observed by a faculty member while they performed history taking/communication (46% to 84%), physical examination (36% to 42%), or procedural tasks (41% to 81%). It was found that residents had observed the students more frequently than the faculty members. The correlations between self-reported confidence and the corresponded direct observation were small to medium but significant. However, no difference was found between observation by a faculty member and by a resident.

Conclusions: This study confirmed that many medical students have not been directly observed in clinical training; and that those who were observed more often, expressed more self-reported confidence. Some assessment measures, which focus on direct observation and feedback during student-patient encounters, may improve the students’ confidence.

Published: December 2022

Since the ever increasing demand of social platforms and social media, it is highly recommended to check age and gender of the person using social websites to avoid any age restricted content. Automatic age and gender classification offers variety of applications majorly authentication, visual surveillance, customer care, biometrics. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is emerging tool for image processing and human identification. In this paper, deep- convolutional neural networks (CNN) is proposed to learn structures of human’s face and hence improve performance for recognition of human’s gender and age significantly. Here, we propose a less complex convolutional neural network design which can be effectively used in case of a small amount of learning data too. The attempts include lowering the number of parameters, boosting the network's depth, and adjusting the dropout rate to have better matching with current state-of-the-art methods using the Adience benchmark.

Published: December 2022

The main objective of this study was to: assess groundwater quality in rural areas of Zabid, Hodeidah, for drinking purpose using water quality index (WQI). Forty groundwater samples were collected from the study area. The water quality index (WQI) is a mathematical method used to facilitate water quality explanation. The WQI calculations required several physiochemical water parameters, including pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Hardness (TH), Cl-, SO42-, HCO3-, NO3-, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ and K+. The values of WQI indicated that 75% of groundwater in the study area was good for drinking (class II), 25% Poor water (class III), and the WQIs ranged from 76 and 98; 101 and 126, respectively. It can be said, from this assessment, that groundwater in the study area was generally in Good-Poor water quality status. The reasons for the high WQI values of some study areas were due to the anthropogenic activities, as well as domestic and agricultural wastes.

Published: December 2022

Groundwater wells are the major source of drinking water in Hadhramout-Yemen. The current study assessed the quality of fifty-five water wells data for coastal Hadhramout-Yemen. The samples were tested for physical parameters such as color, Hydrogen ion concentration (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity (Turb) and total dissolved solids (TDS). This assessment is based on comparing water quality of physical parameter values to the Yemeni standards, calculating the water quality index (WQI) for each well and the correlation coefficients (R) between each pair of the selected physical parameters. The correlation coefficient between (WQI), and the selected physical parameters was also calculated. The percentage of compliance to the Yemeni standards in water samples varies from 71.19 % for TDS to 100% for PH. The WQI reflects that most of the samples (forty-nine) are of good and excellent quality. A good relationship was found (simple linear regression) between the color and the turbidity. The current results show that all physical parameters of drinking water are more or less correlated with each other and the WQI, is a very useful and easy tool for monitoring drinking water.

Published: December 2022

This paper aims to estimate the differences in mortality from road traffic injuries according to the records present in the information sources in the Republic of Ecuador, 2017 - 2019. Methodologically, the cases of deaths and mortality rates are compared between police records and death certificates by age group and sex. During the study period, 7291 traffic fatalities were recorded in police records, compared to 9509 in medical certificates. Mortality rates vary significantly by age and sex between data sources, with police records showing a decreasing trend, but no significant change according to medical death certificates. The study reveals that there is no consistency between data sources, possibly to mask weaknesses in police actions inroad traffic policing.

The Prevalence of Eating Disorders in Female Aesthetic Athletes
Authors: Jiang Shan , Ramoa Carolina
Published: December 2022

Eating disorders, a spectrum of psychological diseases (e.g., anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorders) that can cause adverse impacts on health, are prevalent in athletes. Female athletes in aesthetic sports, where the thin-ideal body figure is highly valued by judges and audiences, are at highest risk of developing eating disorders. This review paper examines current research on major risk factors, diagnosis, and interventions regarding aesthetic athletes’ abnormal eating behaviors and eating disorders. The interconnected influence of social and sport pressures, including parents & coaches’ influences, body dissatisfaction, and achievement goals have been found to be the major risk factors. Culture can also exert influence on the development of eating disorders. This paper reviews the screening tools, which primarily consist of self-reported questionnaires, used to identify eating disorders as well as education-based preventions and intervention programs. Finally, the limitations of current research in the field majorly lies in the validation of screening tools and interventions.
Artificial Photosynthesis: A Review of the Technology, Application, Opportunities, and Challenges
Authors: Le Anh , Guillomaitre Nehemie
Published: December 2022

Artificial photosynthesis (AP) is a biomimetic approach to solving contemporary energy crisis, in which principles of natural photosynthesis are applied to synthesizing chemical fuels from solar power and CO2. Artificial photosynthesis power-generating systems are potentially more advantageous than solar panels since AP technology can provide stable and portable chemical fuels, while also minimizing human carbon footprint in the environment. Although multiple artificial photosynthesis techniques have been developed, none of them have been successfully applied to scalable and commercially viable devices. This paper reviews the current progress and outlook of artificial photosynthesis technology. The mechanism and performance of available methods are presented with experimental data, and technical breakthroughs and challenges in scaling up the technology are reported. A wide range of projects worldwide is inspected to show the status of cost and performance. Finally, a research prospect and an outlook on challenges in technical and socio-economic aspects are provided.

Published: December 2022

When citizens of Wuhan, China starting contracting Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), it was inevitable that the diease was going to spread to the rest of the world, therefore resulting in a pandemic. This disease is caused by SARS-CoV-2 and was discovered for the first time in December of 2019. COVID-19 affects the lungs and has symptoms that are similar to the common cold, pneumonia, or the flu. Over 6 million people have died from COVID-19 and number continue to rise.

When there was first talk of the pandemic in the United States, it was said that the United States of America was the most prepared country in the world to tackle a pandemic. The United States ended up having one of the worst outcomes when COVID-19 struck and this was because of faulty planning. It is crucial to know information about COVID-19 before looking into what the United States did wrong. The research provided in the following study shows the lack of testing, bad mask mandates, poor public health funding, etc. Along with this, a plan is created on what to do if a pandemic were to hit the United States once again in the future and how to stop it before it wrecks havoc on the nation.

Published: December 2022

With the rise of Medical Dramas, it is unclear how they are affecting their female viewers. Grey’s Anatomy is one of the most widely popular medical drama which averages millions of view each episode. The majority of these viewers are females, and according to the social cognitive theory, the depiction of the female characters in a show affects how female viewers are empowered. Therefore, my research will both analyze every episode of Grey’s Anatomy and question viewers of the show in order to determine how female characters are depicted in Grey’s Anatomy and how this depiction empowers female viewers. For the purpose of this study, I developed a quantitative content analysis to apply a quantitative analysis approach to a social cognitive theory and I developed a Female Depiction Score and Male Depiction Score to analyze this data. The results of this study give insight into the application of the social cognitive theory to medical dramas, how to promote female empowerment through medical dramas, and how to conduct a quantitative content analysis in regards to the application of the Social Cognitive Theory.
Az Olasz Köztársaság választójogi törvényének a külhoni szavazatokra vonatkozó rendelkezései – tanulságok és tapasztalatok Magyarország számára
Authors: Berényi Márk
Published: December 2022

A Külügyi Szemle által két évvel ezelőtt közölt tanulmányomban áttekintettem az Olaszországban őshonos nemzeti kisebbségek parlamenti képviseletét (Berényi, 2020). A jelen szakcikk, az előző mintegy ellentettjeként, kiegészíteni szándékozik az ott leírtakat a külföldön élő olasz állampolgárok szavazati jogának ismertetésével, valamint a szavazásra vonatkozó általános információkkal. A tanulmány további célja, hogy egy, a hazaitól eltérő, ám szintén lehetséges mintát mutasson be arra vonatkozóan, hogy egy másik európai uniós tagállam mily módon szabályozza a határain kívül élő állampolgárainak a képviseletét a nemzeti törvényhozásban, és ismertesse e másfajta képviselet előnyeit és hátrányait. Úgy vélem, ennek aktualitást ad, hogy a jelen időszakban a magyar közbeszédben is viszonylag sok szó esik e témáról.
Eurázsia kora és a globális megatrendek szerepe az eurázsiai együttműködésben
Authors: Horváth Marcell , Boros Eszter , Puhl Györgyi
Published: December 2022

Az utóbbi évtizedek markáns folyamata a multipoláris világrend kialakulása. Az USA mellett hatalmi centrumként a Föld legnagyobb szárazföldje, az eurázsiai szuperkontinens és annak gazdaságai – mindenekelőtt Kína – jelennek meg kihívóként. Ám felmerül a kérdés: hogyan értelmezhető Eurázsia? A tanulmány elsőként ezt vizsgálja meg történelmi és geopolitikai szempontból. Az eurázsiai együttműködés mindig is érvényesült a történelem folyamán: az ősi kínai selyemút az áruk, a tudás, a kultúra és a technológiák cseréjével már időszámításunk előtt ösztönözte az ottani közösségek fejlődését. A különböző, ám rokon Eurázsia-felfogások között Oroszország, Kazahsztán és Törökország is kidolgozta a maga vízióját, Kína pedig – újraélesztve a selyemutat – elindította az Övezet és Út Kezdeményezést (BRI). Ehhez kapcsolódóan arra mutatunk rá, hogy a 21. század megatrendjei jó lehetőséget biztosítanak a BRI által is képviselt, széles értelemben vett eurázsiai együttműködés számára. A tanulmány a fenntarthatóság, a digitalizáció és a pénz jövőjét érintő trendek vizsgálata során arra a következtetésre jut, hogy Európa és Ázsia számára nagy potenciál rejlik a zöldstratégiák közötti szinergiák kiaknázásában. Szintén fontos érdekek fűződnek a technológiai kérdéseket érintő nemzetközi konszenzushoz; a digitális jegybankpénzek terén pedig már közvetlen európai–ázsiai együttműködésre is van példa.

Data collection tools included the Kentucky Mindfulness Skills Questionnaire (2004), the Beck Depression Inventory (1961), and the Zung Anxiety Inventory (1971). In the pre-test, both groups filled out the questionnaires. The subjects of the experimental group played selected sports games for eight weeks, three days a week and every day for 60 minutes, and the control group continued their daily activities. Then, the two experimental and control groups participated in the post-test and filled out the questionnaires again. SPSS software version 24 was used for data analysis. Findings indicate that the mean of depression and anxiety decreased after the post-test, but the mean increased for mindfulness. Although there was a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in the variables of mindfulness, depression, and anxiety after selected sports games, the components of describing mindfulness and physical symptoms of anxiety were not significant. The results showed that considering that playing sports games in the leisure time of chronic mentally ill people improves their level of mental health, it is recommended that selected sports games be included in the leisure program of these patients; Therefore, spending sports leisure time while creating positive effects on the physical and mental dimensions of patients can be a good alternative to the same and inflexible daily programs of this group of society.

Penyaradan adalah salah satu kegiatan di hutan produksi yang dapat mempengaruhi performa perusahaan hutan. Penyaradan dengan traktor dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor antara lain jarak sarad, volume muatan, topografi, cuaca, keadaan tanah dan ketrampilan operator itu sendiri, serta kondisi jalan sarad. Pembuatan jalan sarad harus memperhatikan ketentuan-ketentuan yang ada yang diperlukan untuk menghasilkan jalan yang baik sesuai dengan kepentingannya tanpa harus merusak hutan.  Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu: a). Mengetahui besarnya Total Tahanan (Total Resistance, TR) yang diperoleh traktor pada saat melakukan penyaradan kayu dan b). Mengetahui jarak dan waktu penyaradan kayu secara efektif. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan cara pengamatan lapangan dan pengumpulan data sekunder yaitu dari perusahaan meliputi kegiatan produksi khususnya penyaradan dengan menggunakan traktor. Dari hasil pengolahan data kedua peubah bebas yang berpengaruh terhadap waktu sarad untuk traktor dengan muatan menunjukkan bahwa peubah jarak sarad merupakan peubah yang paling menonjol memberikan pengaruh terhadap waktu sarad. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari kenyataan di lapangan adanya variasi panjang jalan/jarak sarad yang berkisar antara 300-600 meter, menghasilkan variasi terhadap waktu sarad. Makin besar jarak/panjang jalan, makin besar pula waktu yang dibutuhkan dan sebaliknya.

The liver is the most important metabolic organ in the body. Model systems that recapitulate the complex organ structure and cell composition of the human liver are insufficient to study liver biology and to test toxicity and efficacy during new drug development. Recently established 3-dimensional liver models, including spheroids and organoids, organs-on-a-chip, bioprinting, and the decellularization/recellularization technique, have provided platforms that emulate the structural and functional characteristics of the human liver better than conventional 2-dimensional cell culture models and animal models. This review summarizes the architecture and cell compositions of human liver tissue, focusing on recent studies of multicellular human liver models that recapitulate in vivo-like physiologies with morphological and functional advances by the cellular communication of parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. We discuss the applications, limitations, and future perspectives of advanced multicellular human liver models.

Like most shorebirds in Europe, breeding populations of Eurasian curlew (Numenius arquata) are suffering from habitat loss and degradation mainly caused by changes in agricultural practices. In Deux-Sèvres (France), the number of pairs has gradually declined since the early 2000s in the main, historical breeding site, while a new breeding site has appeared recently 80 kilometres further north with increasing number of pairs through the survey period. Many wheat fields and rare dry grasslands are found in the north, whereas the landscape in the south is mainly composed of tillage plots, hay meadows, and pastures. This study aims to highlight differences in food availability and quality between the two areas. Sample series of ground-dwelling and vegetation-dwelling invertebrates were carried out during three key stages of the species breeding cycle with pitfall traps and sweep nets. Dry grasslands in the north were found to be the most favourable habitat in terms of prey availability for adults and for chicks during the brood-rearing period. Moreover, hay meadows and pastures in the south seemed to be resource-abundant feeding habitats. Therefore, the habitats of the northern site seem to offer a greater abundance of invertebrates and thus a potentially larger food resource than the southern one. It follows that the northern site likely offers better breeding conditions, especially for the growth of chicks. An increase in the area of dry grasslands in the north and the establishment of adapted agricultural management in the south would be favourable for the conservation of local curlew populations.

Abstract. Cycloalkanes are important trace hydrocarbons existing in the atmosphere,
and they are considered a major class of intermediate volatile organic
compounds (IVOCs). Laboratory experiments showed that the yields of
secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) from oxidation of cycloalkanes are higher than acyclic alkanes with the same carbon number. However,
measurements of cycloalkanes in the atmosphere are still challenging at
present. In this study, we show that online measurements of cycloalkanes can
be achieved using proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry
with NO+ chemical ionization (NO+ PTR-ToF-MS). Cyclic and bicyclic
alkanes are ionized with NO+ via hydride ion transfer, leading to major
product ions of CnH2n-1+ and
CnH2n-3+, respectively. As isomers of cycloalkanes,
alkenes undergo association reactions with major product ions of
CnH2n ⚫ (NO)+, and concentrations of 1-alkenes and
trans-2-alkenes in the atmosphere are usually significantly lower than
cycloalkanes (about 25 % and <5 %, respectively), as a result
inducing little interference with cycloalkane detection in the atmosphere.
Calibrations of various cycloalkanes show similar sensitivities associated
with small humidity dependence. Applying this method, cycloalkanes were
successfully measured at an urban site in southern China and during a
chassis dynamometer study of vehicular emissions. Concentrations of both
cyclic and bicyclic alkanes are significant in urban air and vehicular
emissions, with comparable cyclic alkanes / acyclic alkanes ratios between
urban air and gasoline vehicles. These results demonstrate that NO+
PTR-ToF-MS provides a new complementary approach for the fast characterization
of cycloalkanes in both ambient air and emission sources, which can be
helpful to fill the gap in understanding the importance of cycloalkanes in
the atmosphere.
