Transmembrane Potential of Physiologically Relevant Model Membranes: Effects of Membrane Asymmetry
Authors: Lin Xubo , Gorfe Alemayehu A.
Published: June 2020

Transmembrane potential difference (𝑉௠) plays important roles in regulating various biologicalprocesses. At the macro level, 𝑉௠ can be experimentally measured or calculated using the Nernstor Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation. However, the atomic details responsible for its generationand impact on protein and lipid dynamics still need to be further elucidated. In this work, weperformed a series of all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of symmetric model membranes ofvarious lipid compositions and cation contents to evaluate the relationship between membraneasymmetry and 𝑉௠. Specifically, we studied the impact of the asymmetric distribution of POPS (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine), PIP2 (phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate),𝑁𝑎ା, 𝐾ା and 𝐶𝑎ଶା on 𝑉௠ using atomically detailed molecular dynamics simulations of symmetricmodel membranes. The results suggest that, for an asymmetric POPC-POPC/POPS bilayer in thepresence of NaCl, enrichment of the monovalent anionic lipid POPS in the inner leaflet polarizesthe membrane (∆𝑉௠ < 0). Intriguingly, replacing a third of the POPS lipids by the polyvalentanionic signaling lipid PIP2 counteracts this effect, resulting in a smaller negative membranepotential. We also found that replacing 𝑁𝑎ା ions in the inner region by 𝐾ା depolarizes themembrane (∆𝑉௠ > 0), whereas replacing by 𝐶𝑎ଶା polarizes the membrane. These divergent effectsarise from variations in the strength of cation-lipid interactions and are correlated with changes inlipid chain order and head group orientation.
Influence of Crystalline and Shape Anisotropy on Electrochromic Modulation in Doped Semiconductor Nanocrystals
Authors: Heo Sungyeon , Cho Shin Hum , Dahlman Clayton J. , Agrawal Ankit , Milliron Delia J.
Published: June 2020

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) modulation appearing in the near-infrared range in doped semiconductor nanocrystals enriches electrochromic performance. Although crystalline and shape anisotropies influence LSPR spectra, study of their impact on electrochromic modulation are lacking. Here, we study how crystalline anisotropy in hexagonal cesium-doped tungsten oxide nanorods and nanoplatelets affects essential metrics of electrochromic modulation—coloration efficiency (CE) and volumetric capacity—using different sizes of electrolyte cations (tetrabutylammonium, sodium, and lithium) as structurally sensitive electrochemical probes. Nanorod films show higher CE than nanoplatelets in all of electrolytes owing to low effective mass along the crystalline c-axis. When using sodium cations, which diffuse through one-dimensional hexagonal tunnels, electrochemical capacity is significantly greater for platelets than for nanorods. This difference is explained by the hexagonal tunnel sites being more accessible in platelets than in nanorods. Our work sheds light on the role of shape and crystalline anisotropy on charge capacity and CE both of which contribute to overall modulation.

Authors: Thuy N.M. , Tuyen N.T.M. , Tai N.V.
Published: June 2020

Purple shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is one of the most tropical agricultural crop widely
used as a food seasoning. It is a highly commercial and important commodity by the food
industry, not only based on its economic value but also the bioactive compounds.
Pretreatment is widely used before processing of agro-products to improve the quality of
these products. In this study, the influences of the pretreatment were conducted by the
combination of mild temperature ranging from 45 to 55°C and different concentrations of
calcium chloride (from 0.25 to 0.75%) on the quality of raw purple shallot used for further
study (e.g. freeze-drying and pickling). The samples were analyzed for the firmness,
bioactive compounds (total phenolic, total flavonoid and quercetin content) and
antioxidant activity. The results showed that mild water temperature and calcium chloride
concentration were influent on the firmness and bioactive compounds of raw material. The
addition of calcium can enhance the beneficial action of mild heat treatments on sensory
properties of purple shallot. The optimal conditions of the process were stabilized with the
desired function, obtained at 50°C of mild hot water temperature dipping and 0.64% of
calcium chloride concentration.

The main content of the study is an analysis of state of volunteering, as a type of a platform for promoting changes in problematic areas of life. Volunteer groups (units) are often the initiators of changes, also carriers and conductors of noticeable improvements on different levels, including personal, of an organization, community’s, governmental and international. The author presents the core life values as the basis of volunteering, as well as the fundamental principles of it and its main motivation. Thankfully to volunteer movement`s activists, volunteer activity in Ukraine improves every year and, and currently is supported by the law, is growing, expanding and becoming more diverse. In this paper, the author focuses on the necessity of tight active cooperation of all the participants of volunteer activity, where essential are: a volunteer and a beneficiary, and for better process and results of volunteering are: an engaging organization, the government and a benefactor. With active involvement of all five mentioned sectors the further development and spreading of volunteering is expected. The teambuilding process inevitably occurs, especially when there are clear and unifying goals presented. Willingness and non-profitable nature of volunteering is described in the article, as well as the the multiplicity of volunteer projects and actions, and therefore the importance of its further structuring, development and expansion in all the regions of the country, as well as throughout the world.
PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCE AS A COMPONENT OF PROFESSIONALISM OF PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER
Authors: Cherepekhina Olha
Published: June 2020

The article studies the relevance of research of pedagogical competence of the future teacher of psychology in higher education in the context of professional component of the psychologist. The scientific approaches to the definition of the term «professionalism of the teacher of higher education» are analyzed. The activity approach is associated with the highest levels of excellence in the work, achieved in the arts and skill in professional activity. Personal approach focuses on the systematic organization of consciousness and human psyche, which includes the properties of the person as a whole; skills, skills, motor skills, cognitive processes, actions, awareness, knowledge, experience and culture of a professional, his emotional world. The third approach to defining the essence of professionalism is manifested in the combination of activities and personal principles, when professionalism is viewed in the dialectical unity of manifestations of activity and personality and, accordingly, is defined by the concepts of «professionalism of activity» and «professionalism of personality». The issue of pedagogical competence of the psychology teacher in the acmeological approach, which is considered at different levels: general, special and individual, has been updated. The essence of teacher’s pedagogical competence as a component of his professionalism is revealed. In the structure of pedagogical competence of the teacher we distinguish general professional (psycho-pedagogical, research and pedagogical management) and key competences (social, general cultural, health-saving, civil, informational).
The prospects for further research are to develop and introduce into the educational process the pedagogical conditions for the development of pedagogical competence of a future teacher of higher education psychology.

Published: June 2020

The article presents modern means of scientific communication in forming research competence of the future psychologist. Based on the study of modern research approaches to the development of scientific communication, the use of scientific communication in the process of forming the research competence of the future psychologist is presented. On the basis of theoretical study of the material, the research of the development of scientific communication of future applicants of the second (Master’s) level of higher education in the process of the project assignment in the discipline «Professional foreign language communication» is presented. The peculiarities of the formation of research competence and usage of scientific communication by future psychologists are determined. The study of the ability to use scientific communication was performed by the following indicators: 1) the ability to justify the purpose of the research problem, 2) the ability to describe the stages of solving the scientific problem, 3) understanding of research data (digital and visual), 4) ability to substantiate findings from scientific research, 5) ability to present the results of the study, logically justify them. In addition to examining the ability to use scientific communication during project presentation, each student was asked a questionnaire with questions designed to assess his or her personal ability to use scientific communication during project preparation and presentation. As a result of our research, it was determined that future psychologists have no significant experience in scientific communication, in particular in the process of presentation and discussion of scientific research. On the other hand, working in the course of your own research as a form of scientific communication does not cause such extraordinary difficulties for future psychologists.
Neurologo profesinės tapatybės kismas
Authors: M. Šeduikienė , V. Matonis
Published: June 2020

Įvadas. Profesinės tapatybės sutrikimas neigiamai veikia darbuotojų savijautą, mažina profesionalumą. Norint išvengti blogėjančių pasekmių, būtina nuolat rūpintis kvali­fikacijos kėlimu, išlaikyti teigiamas vertybines nuostatas. Terapinio darbo sėkmė yra ypač jautriai susijusi su neurologo profesinės tapatybės (NPT) tvirtumu. Dėl sparčios neuromokslų, neurologijos inovacijų ir gydymo praktikos raidos NPT nuolat kinta, todėl, siekiant išlai­kyti profesionalumą, neišvengiama ne tik nuolatinė savireguliacija, bet ir griežta savikontro­lė. Deja, nei NPT sąvoka, nei jos pokyčių ypatybės, kiek mums žinoma, specialiai dar nebuvo nagrinėtos, išskyrus dalines charakteristikas.
Tikslas. Atskleisti NPT ypatumus ir išanalizuoti jų kaitos prielaidas.
Uždaviniai: pateikti NPT apibrėžimą, įvertinti informacinių technologijų ir neurologijos inovacijų poveikį NPT kaitai, apsvarstyti galimus NPT pokyčius ateityje.
Metodai. Atlikta naujausios literatūros straipsnio tema apžvalga. Apibendrinus įvairius po­žiūrius, suformuluota NPT apibrėžtis, taip pat išskirtos ir aprašytos NPT kaitą lemiančios prie­laidos. Taikant prognostinį metodą, remiantis informacinių technologijų (IT), biotechnologijų ir medicinos naujovių poveikio neurologijai analize, aptariami galimi NPT pokyčiai ateityje.
Rezultatai ir aptarimas. Tyrimo rezultatai ir aptarimas pateikti penkiuose skyriuose.
Pirmajame skyriuje „NPT sąvoka, jos formavimosi ir kaitos ypatumai“ pasiūlyta NPT apibrėžtis, parodoma, kaip nuolat kintančios IT, biotechnologijos ir medicinos inovacijos keičia neurologų veiklos ribas.
Antrajame skyriuje „Technologijų raida ir neurologo galimybių plėtra“ atskleidžiama, kokią įtaką auganti kompiuterikos ir robotikos geba daro NPT kismui ir kaip ruoštis artėjan­čioms permainoms.
Trečiajame skyriuje „Medicinos inovacijų įtaka NPT kismui“ parodoma, kaip lėtinės li­gos aktualizuoja kompleksinio, individualizuoto gydymo reikmes, kaip dėl sparčios neuromokslų pažangos ir išaugusių kvalifikacinių reikalavimų atsiranda vis daugiau specializacijų, daugeliu atvejų atitolinančių neurologus nuo profesinės tapatybės.
Ketvirtajame skyriuje „Neurologijos persidengimų su gretimomis sritimis poveikis NPT kismui“ išskiriamos aktualios visuomenės gyvenimo problemos, kurių sprendimą skatina to­bulėjančios biocheminių sistemų galimybės dirbtinai kelti individų malonius išgyvenimus (kuriant laimės pajautą), didinti mokinių mokslumą stimuliantais (mažinant jų dėmesio trū­kumo ir hiperaktyvumo sutrikimus) ir, taikant psichodelikus, nuodugniau pažinti ir keisti protą (steigiant psichodelijos centrus).
Penktajame skyriuje „Prognostinės neurologijos raidos įžvalgos ir galimi NPT pokyčiai“ nagrinėjamos ateities gyvenimą projektuojančių tyrėjų įžvalgos, numatoma, kaip NPT gali įgauti net neatpažįstamą pobūdį.
Išvadose pateikiami NPT ypatumai, atskleidžiamos prielaidos, lemiančios NPT kaitą, ir parodoma, kaip NPT turinio supratimas gali stiprinti neurologų profesinę savivoką.
Sezoninės depresijos rizikos faktoriai ir gydymas. Apžvalga
Authors: V. Jurgaitytė , J. Dijokas , P. Rimkevičiūtė , N. Khawaja
Published: June 2020

Sezoninė depresija – depresijos tipas, kuriam būdingas sezoninis simptomų pasireiškimas žiemą arba vasarą. Jos požymiai papras­tai pasireiškia 1-2 % bendros populiacijos, tačiau daugiau nei 30 laipsnių nuo pusiaujo nutolusiuose regionuose šis rodiklis sie­kia net 10-20 %. Kartais išskiriamas ir subsindrominis sezoninės depresijos tipas, kuris pasižymi to paties pobūdžio, tik lengves­niais sezoninio afektinio sutrikimo simptomais. Sezoninės dep­resijos atsiradimui įtakos turi ne tik aplinkos rizikos faktoriai, pa­vyzdžiui, dienos trukmė ar laikas, praleistas saulės šviesoje, bet ir genetiniai veiksniai bei neurocheminiai pokyčiai smegenyse – šiam sutrikimui būdinga heterogeniška rizikos veiksnių visuma. Cirkadinių ritmų sutrikimai ir neurotransmiterių, pavyzdžiui, se­rotonino, dopamino ar noradrenalino, disreguliacija yra vieni iš pagrindinių veiksnių, sukeliančių sezoninio afektinio sutrikimo simptomus. Simptomų remisijai įtakos turi ryškios šviesos tera­pija, taikoma reguliuojant pacientų cirkadinius ritmus, ir kognityvinė elgesio terapija, kuri netiesiogiai palengvina depresijos simptomus (pacientai mokomi valdyti stresą ir nerimą). Šiame straipsnyje palyginama sezoninės depresijos gydymo metodų veiksmingumas ir saugumas.

Authors: A. Jasionis , G. Jasionytė , R. Mameniškienė
Published: June 2020

Įvadas. Vienas pagrindinių socialinių pažintinių funkcijų posričių – minčių te­orija (MT) – apima gebėjimą suprasti kitų žmonių mintis, ketinimus, emocijas ir numatyti jų elgesį. MT deficitas yra būdingas daugeliui neurologinių ir psichikos sutrikimų. Iki šiol ne­buvo MT ištyrimo testų, adaptuotų lietuviškai kalbančiai populiacijai.
Tikslas. Išversti ir atlikti kalbinę bei kultūrinę dviejų MT testų – Faux pas atpažinimo tes­to ir Happé keistų istorijų testo – adaptaciją lietuviškai kalbančiai populiacijai ir įvertinti jų psichometrines savybes.
Tiriamieji ir tyrimo metodai. Abu testai buvo išversti iš anglų kalbos į lietuvių ir iš lietuvių į anglų kalbą. Naudojant lietuviškus testų variantus, ištirta 100 pilnamečių asmenų. Pa­tikrintas testų patikimumas ir matavimų pagrįstumas. Vidinis nuoseklumas vertintas apskai­čiuojant Cronbach α koeficientą, vertinimo patikimumas – intraklasinį koreliacijos koefi­cientą, o konvergentinis konstrukcijos patikimumas – Spearman koreliacijos koeficientą.
Rezultatai. Apskaičiuota Faux pas atpažinimo testo faux pas istorijų Cronbach α koefi­ciento reikšmė buvo 0,815, kontrolinių istorijų – 0,426, o Happé keistų istorijų testo – 0,708. Faux pas atpažinimo testo faux pas istorijų intraklasinio koreliacijos koeficiento reikšmė bu­vo 0,996, o Happé keistų istorijų testo – 0,911. Apskaičiuota silpna teigiama statistiškai reikšminga koreliacija tarp Happé keistų istorijų testo ir Faux pas atpažinimo testo faux pas istorijų įvertinimų (r = 0,355, p = 0,045), tačiau Faux pas atpažinimo testo kontrolinių istorijų įverčiai statistiškai reikšmingai nekoreliavo su faux pas istorijų (r = 0,033, p = 0,745) ir Happé keistų istorijų testo (r = 0,109, p = 0,282) rezultatais. Abiejų testų išorinis ir turinio pa­grįstumas buvo įrodyti.
Išvados. Faux pas atpažinimo testas ir Happé keistų istorijų testas pritaikyti lietuviškai kalbančiai populiacijai. Abu instrumentai gali būti naudingi vertinant socialines pažintines funkcijas.
Medicinos studentų migrenos diagnostika ir gydymas 2010–2011 m. ir 2019 m.
Authors: E. Bacevičiūtė , A. Ekkert , K. Noreikaitė , K. Ryliškienė
Published: June 2020

Įvadas. Migrenos dažnis Lietuvos bendrojoje populiacijoje siekia 18,8 %. Tyri­mo tikslas buvo nustatyti migrenos dažnį, įtaką kasdieniam gyvenimui, gydymo įstaigose nustatytą migreną ir jos gydymą tarp 18-28 m. amžiaus medicinos studentų 2010-2011 m. ir 2019 m.
Tiriamieji ir tyrimo metodai. Anoniminėje anketinėje apklausoje dalyvavo 478 Vilniaus universiteto medicinos ir odontologijos studentai. 2010-2011 m. tyrime apklausti 252 (am­žiaus mediana – 23,0 ± 7,8 m.), 2019 m. – 226 (amžiaus mediana – 23,0 ± 1,5 m.) studentai. Anketą sudarė klausimai apie galvos skausmą, jo provokatorius, įtaką kasdienei veiklai, var­tojamus vaistus, gydymo įstaigoje nustatytą migrenos diagnozę. Statistinė analizė atlikta SPSS programa, lygmuo laikytas reikšmingu, kai p < 0,05.
Rezultatai. Lyginant 2010-2011 m. (27,8 %) ir 2019 m. (27,9 %) laikotarpius, pagal an­ketos duomenis nustatytos migrenos su ir be auros dažnis nepakito (p = 0,98), ja dažniau sir­go moterys (p = 0,02). Skausmas pagal VAS išliko vidutinio stiprumo (p = 0,07), tačiau įtaka kasdieniam gyvenimui 2019 m. didėjo (p = 0,01). 2019 m. migrena buvo dažniau nustatoma gydymo įstaigoje (10 % vs. 25,4 %, p = 0,03), dažniau vartojami specifiniai vaistai priepuo­liui (5,7 % vs. 19,0 %, p = 0,03) ir profilaktinis gydymas (0,0 % vs. 9,6 %, p = 0,003). Intensy­vesnis skausmas (ŠS = 2,7, p = 0,006) ir auros buvimas priepuolių metu (ŠS = 2,7, p = 0,037) buvo reikšmingi diagnozės nustatymo gydymo įstaigoje veiksniai. O pats diagnozės nustaty­mas gydymo įstaigoje buvo nepriklausomas veiksnys, lėmęs triptanų (ŠS = 6,9, p = 0,012) ir profilaktinio gydymo vartojimą (ŠS = 30,3 p = 0,036).
Išvados. Lyginant 2010-2011 m. ir 2019 m. laikotarpius, migrenos dažnis išlieka pana­šus. Skausmo stiprumas išlieka vidutinis, tačiau įtaka kasdieniam gyvenimui didėja. Nors medicinos studentams migrena gydymo įstaigose diagnozuojama dažniau ir specifiniai vais­tai priepuoliui gydyti bei medikamentinė profilaktika vartojama dažniau, tačiau migrenos diagnostika ir gydymas išlieka nepakankami.

Krūties vėžys yra labiausiai paplitusi moterų onkologinė liga visame pasaulyje. Pirmosios atokiosios metastazės dažniausiai aptinkamos plaučiuose, galvos smegenyse, kauluose, kepenyse. Metastazinio krūties vėžio simptomai labiausiai priklauso nuo išplitimo vietos. Metastazės galvos smegenyse, priklausomai nuo jų lokalizacijos, gali sukelti tokius simptomus kaip pykinimas, galvos skausmas, hemiparezė, regėjimo sutrikimai, traukuliai, neaiški kalba, mąstymo sutrikimai, galvos svaigimas. Krūties vėžio metastazės smegenyse dažniausiai aptinkamos smegenėlėse ir pamato branduoliuose. Galimas ir intraventrikulinis, leptomeninginis plitimas centrinėje nervų sistemoje; nors tai yra reta krūties vėžio metastazių lokalizacija, tačiau nurodanti agresyvią vėžio eigą. Jautriausias tyrimas, diagnozuojant metastazes smegenyse, yra magnetinio rezonanso tomografija. Šių lokalizacijų metastazėms gydyti dažniausiai pasirenkama chirurgija, stereotaksinė radiochirurgija ar visų smegenų radiacinė terapija. Šiame straipsnyje pristatomas krūties vėžiu sergančios 34 m. moters, kuriai diagnozuotas ligos išplitimas į centrinę nervų sistemą, klinikinis atvejis. Pacientei taikytas gydymas stereotaksinės radiochirurgijos centre „Sigulda“ Latvijoje; vėliau nustatytas intraventrikulinis metastazių plitimas galvos smegenyse. Taip pat šiame straipsnyje apžvelgiama literatūra, susijusi su krūties vėžio metastazių pasireiškimu centrinėje nervų sistemoje, diagnostika ir gydymo rekomendacijomis.

Published: June 2020

Migraine is a long-lasting neurological disorder with significant negative impact not only on the patient’s life, but also on society. For many years, preventive treatment of migraine included drugs developed for diseases other than migraine such as hypertension, depression, and epilepsy. During the last decade, blocking calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has emerged as a possible mechanism for preventing migraine attacks, and monoclonal antibodies against CGRP and its receptor for the specific migraine prophylaxis have been developed. Results of clinical trials, safety and tolerability of the new class of drugs as well as guidelines for their use for the prevention of migraine are presented in this review article.
The doctrine of solidism and neurology in the first half of the 19th century in Vilnius
Authors: Sakalauskaitė-Juodeikienė E.
Published: June 2020

In the first half of the 18th century, European medical literature was pervaded with fibre-related terms such as “membranes”, “web”, “vibrating”, “folding”, “tone”, “tension”, etc. The doctrine of humoralism which attributed all diseases to imbalance of the four humours was gradually replaced by a new doctrine of solidism suggesting that fibres were the most important building units of the body. How was the doctrine of solidism received and how did it change the perception and diagnosis of nervous system diseases in the first half of the 19th century in Vilnius? After analysing several doctoral dissertations, written in Latin and defended at Imperial University of Vilnius, we came to the conclusion that the causes of nervous system diseases were mostly sought in the cerebrum and spinal cord, using autopsy findings as an essential part of the anatomo-clinical method, under the influence of the principles of the doctrine of solidism.

Published: June 2020

Background. One of the main subdomains of social cognitive functions, Theory of Mind (ToM), involves the ability to understand other people’s thoughts, intentions, emotions, and predict their behaviour. ToM deficit is common in many neurological and mental disorders. So far, there have been no measures assessing ToM functions adapted to the Lithuanian-speaking population.Objective. To translate and perform a linguistic and cultural adaptation of two ToM tests – the Faux Pas Recognition test and Happé Strange Stories test – to the Lithuanian-speaking population and to evaluate their psychometric properties.Materials and methods. Both instruments were translated from English into Lithuanian and from Lithuanian into English. A total of 100 adult subjects were tested using Lithuanian test variants. The reliability and validity of the instruments were evaluated. Internal consistency was estimated by calculating the Cronbach α coefficient, the inter-rater reliability by the intraclass correlation coefficient, and the convergent construct validity by the Spearman correlation coefficient.Results. The Cronbach α coefficient for the faux pas stories of the Faux Pas Recognition test was 0.815, for the control stories 0.426, and for the Strange Stories test 0.708. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the faux pas stories of the Faux Pas Recognition test was 0.996, and that of the Strange Stories test was 0.911. There was a statistically significant weak positive correlation between the Strange Stories test and the faux pas stories ratings (r=0.355, p=0.045), but the control stories of the Faux Pas Recognition test did not statistically significantly correlate with the faux pas stories (r=0.033, p=0.745) and Happé Strange Stories test (r=0.109, p=0.282). The face and content validity of both instruments was good.Conclusions. The Faux Pas Recognition test and Happé Strange Stories test are adapted to the Lithuanian-speaking population. Both instruments can be useful in evaluating social cognitive functions.

CHANDRAKANTBAKSHI’S GUJARATI SHORT STORIES: CONCEPTS, CULTURE AND PROBLEMS OF TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH AN ANALYSIS
Authors: Kumar Joghee Senthil , Ojoho Obang Ochalla , G Gebreegzabhar , G Hiwet , Yohans  , Akalu Dagninet Gebey
Published: June 2020

Translation is a tool of communication in education. Translation is an intelligent activity, requiring creative problem-solving in novel, textual, social and cultural conditions. A translator is the first ‘reader’ of the other culture as is shown in the foreign language text and he is expected to present the other in a primary process. Cultural substitution is a strategy of replacing the source language (SL) expression with a target language (TL) item that “does not have the same prepositional meaning but is likely to have a similar impact on the target reader”. In view of all these, we find it less than convincing to consider the notion of “cultural translation” as a sort of extension or overcoming of the linguistic concept of translation. The concept of culture is fundamental to any approach to translation. The objective of this paper is to discuss the concepts, cultural dimensions and the problems of translation from an Indian language text into English, especially, Chandrakant Bakshi’s Gujarati short stories into English language.
DETERMINING THE BALANCE CONFIGURATION, IN CASE OF THE OSCILLATING MOVEMENT OF THE MAIN SPINDLE AT CNC LATHE
Authors: Popescu Daniel
Published: June 2020

In the paper we present a mathematical model through which are determined the balance conditions, needed for the stability analysis of the oscillating movement of the main spindle at CNC lathe. We take into account Hamilton's variation principle, the axiom of impulse derivative and the axiom of kinetic moment derivative. We present the general movement equations that generate the oscillations based on the calculus hypotheses, performing the introduction of the external solicitations. Establishment of the balance configuration is done by imposing the conditions that the system of forces that act upon the ensemble spindle – bearings - tool causes a deformation of the spindle, without producing spindle vibration. We obtain the new differential equations of the movement, in which the forces and moments are determined from the static case, based on which we can determine the integration constants in the characteristic points of the main spindle.

Published: June 2020

Background

Despite massive investment in diseases responsible for fever among children less than five years in Uganda, the burden of the fever symptom remains high and disproportionately distributed across regions. In Uganda, studies assessing the relationship between fever prevalence and multiple childhood diseases, especially at a local scale are scanty. We analyse the 2016 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data to quantify the associations and contribution of childhood diseases to fever prevalence among children less than five years in Uganda at the national and regional level. Findings can lead to the development and implementation of preventive and treatment measures especially at a local scale to minimize fever-related diseases among the under-fives in Uganda.

Methods

Bayesian geostatistical logistic regression models with spatially varying coefficients were fitted to determine the associations and contribution of childhood diseases on fever prevalence at the national and regional levels. Region-specific spatially varying coefficients were modeled by a conditional autoregressive distribution. Cluster-specific random effects were introduced into the model to take into account spatial dependence in fever prevalence. Bayesian geostatistical stochastic search variable selection was applied to determine the most important predictors in explaining variation in fever prevalence. The contribution of childhood diseases to fever prevalence was estimated using population attributable fractions.

Results

The prevalence of fever was highest in Busoga and Teso regions and lowest in Bunyoro region. At the national level, the population attribution fraction of diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections (ARI) and malaria to the prevalence of fever in the under-five was 38.12 (95% Bayesian credible intervals, BCI=25.15-41.59), 30.99 (95% BCI=9.82-34.26) and 9.50 (95% BCI=2.34-25.15), respectively. The attribution of diarrhoea was common in all regions except Bunyoro, while ARI was more common in Bugisu, Karamoja and West Nile, and malaria was commonest in Bunyoro. In Lango, the attribution of diarrhoea and ARI was similar.

Conclusions

Majority of fevers among the under-five are due to diarrhoea, followed by ARI. Hand washing with soap and water/detergent should be strengthened in all regions. Vaccination against ARI should be encouraged, in the regions of Central 2, Bugisu, Teso, Karamoja, Lango, West-Nile and Tooro. The health system should be reinforced to treat diarrhoea and ARI.
Mens perception of health and health services on the Island of Niue: a qualitative study
Authors: Nosa Vili , Fuavao Kava , de Silva Debra
Published: June 2020

Background

Men on the small Pacific island of Niue suffer from a range of health conditions but underuse health services. This study aimed to understand why. Very little is known about how men living in Niue view health and wellbeing. Knowing more would help to target services to meet men’s needs.

Methods

Qualitative face to face interviews were undertaken with a convenience sample of twenty men in Niue aged between 26 and 75 years. Data were analysed using a general inductive approach to identify recurring themes. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the University of Auckland Human Participants ethics committee.

Results

The men interviewed had good knowledge of healthy and unhealthy behaviours. They believed that day to day activities such as working on plantations, fishing, and consuming healthy foods helped them to stay healthy and happy. They identified unhealthy diets as a major contributor to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and gout. Traditional medicine was commonly used by older men in preference to formal healthcare services. All of the participants had a good knowledge about the health services available in Niue, but most said that conceptions of masculinity, pride and stubbornness influenced them not to visit doctors. They found it easier to speak about health issues with professionals who were able to communicate in the Niuean language. There was a consensus that providing health promotion workshops and exercise programmes in local villages would be beneficial.

Conclusions

This small study did not aim to generalise to all men in Niue, but it suggests that there is scope for local communities and health services to work together to improve men’s health. The consistency of findings suggests that men in Niue know what constitutes unhealthy behaviours, but they may not feel comfortable visiting health services for support. This may be because they do not trust health services, do not think it would be ‘manly’ to visit such services or are afraid to be diagnosed with illnesses and become a ‘burden’. Positively, men are open to taking part in health promotion workshops and exercise programmes in villages, and this could help to develop more acceptance of positive health behaviours.
Impact of Tourism Policy Implementation in the Development of Regional Tourism Strategic Area (Case Study: Nambo Beach in Kendari City, Indonesia)
Authors: Idrus Sitti Hairani
Published: June 2020

This paper aims to analyse the impact of national and regional tourism policy implementation in the development of Nambo Beach tourist destination as one of the Regional Tourism Strategic Area (RTSA) in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Three baselines of government policy are discussed in this paper, namely 2009, 2011 and 2016 baseline due to the government regulation issued in these specific years. Government policy is required regarding improvement of amenity and accessibility of a tourist destination. The method of the research is literature study and observation in the tourist site, the Nambo Beach. In the literature study we conducted analysis the regulation which supported the tourism sector in both national and regional level. Through field survey, we collected primary data from field survey and secondary data from Kendari Statistic Agency regarding the development of tourism infrastructure in and outside the Nambo Beach. The result showed that the regulation established in 2009 and 2011 for national level and 2016 at the regional level have been supporting the development of tourism sector in Kendari particularly the Nambo Beach RTSA as indicated by the growing of the facilities in the Nambo Beach at least 60% as well as the external facilities such as hotels and rooms which growth up in average more than 100% and roads infrastructure was about 150% in the last ten years.
