Insurance Review and Assessment Service databases of Korea
Authors: Lee Dong Hee , Kim Ye-Jee , Kim Hyangkyoung , Lee Hyung Seok
Published: February 2023

Background: Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service’s (HIRA) claims data have been used in studies of hemodialysis patients even though information about mortality is not provided in this database. Mortality analysis using HIRA data has been conducted using various operational definitions that have not been validated. This study aimed to validate operational definitions of mortality for maintenance hemodialysis patients that have been used when analyzing the Korean HIRA database. Methods: This study utilized claims data of the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) between January 2008 and December 2019. We estimated mortality based on operational definitions applied in previous studies using the HIRA database and compared it with NHIS mortality information to validate accuracy. Results: A total of 128,876 patients who started maintenance hemodialysis between January 2009 and December 2019 were analyzed. The accuracy of estimated mortality was the highest at 96% in the group where mortality was defined as an absence of claims data for 150 days. If the period of no claims data was set to 90 days or less, there was a risk of overestimating the mortality for the entire study period. When it was set to 180 days or more, there was a risk of underestimating the mortality, as the follow-up time was close to the end of the study period. Conclusion: When mortality analysis of maintenance hemodialysis patients is performed using HIRA data, it is most accurate to set the operational definition period as the absence of claims data for 150 days.
Time Frame to Surgery from Presentation of Ankle Fractures and the Impact of the BOAST Standards, do we meet the BOAST Guidelines?
Authors: Al Wadiya Ahmed
Published: February 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the compliance with the BOAST guidelines for early fixation on the day or day after ankle fractures in the age group of 60 years old or less when the ankle mortise is unstable. Method: This retrospective study reviewed all the ankle fractures that were admitted for ankle fixation in 2015-2016, pre- BOAST standard, and following it in 2018- 2019. The inclusion and exclusion criteria used in the standard were then applied. Results: In 2018-19, 44 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 18 males with an average age of 39.3 and 26 females with an average age of 42.2. Twenty-nine ankles (66%) were fixed on the day or day after injury while 5 ankles (11%) had the surgery within 48 hours. In 2015-16, 37 patients fulfilled our inclusion criteria, 21 males with an average age of 37.8 years, 16 females with an average age of 42.1 years. Twenty-one ankles (56.7%) were fixed on the day or day after injury. While 8 ankles (21.6%) had the surgery within 48 hours. Conclusion: Most of the ankle fractures requiring surgery, who presented to our trust, were fixed within 48 hours accounting for 77% of cases in 2018-19 versus 79% in 2015-16 with no statistically significant difference in our practice between pre and post BOAST guidelines publishing. The rest of cases had delayed fixation mainly due to the surrounding soft tissue swelling.
Evolutionary History of Procyonids (Carnivora: Procyonidae): Comparative Cytogenetics of Nasua Nasua and Procyon Cancrivorus
Authors: José Gunski Ricardo
Published: February 2023

The chromosome number of all species of Procyonidae was very conserved. Most have very strong chromosomal homology among members of the family, as well as with different species of the suborder Feliformia. Many chromosomes have similar and sometimes identical G-band patterns, while others differ due to Robertsonian translocations and inversions. In this work, the karyotype of two species of the family Procyonidae, Nasua nasua (2n=38; NF = 74) and Procyon cancrivorus (2n=38; NF = 76), the latter described cytogenetically for the first time, is characterized using conventional staining and differential G, C and NOR banding techniques. Pericentric and paracentric inversions were observed in Procyon cancrivorus and Nasua nasua , respectively. Finally, the G-band karyotypes of both species were compared with the Ancestral Carnivore Karyotype proposed in the literature, providing a homology and conservation on the karyotype evolution of this order.

Published: February 2023

Review of domestic and foreign scientific literature on brucella ecology, brucellosis epizootology and pathogenesis is presented. It has been found that the main route of transmitting the infection causative agents is vertical. At the same time the newborns receive such a small dose of brucella that for a long time it is impossible to confirm them being infected by the conventional diagnostic methods. The deterioration of the epizootic situation is explained precisely by the following – young cattle bred from sick cows are integrated in the broodstock. In this case many of them remain hidden carriers of the pathogen and do not respond to diagnostic tests (a state of tolerance). Young cattle infected with brucella are detected only after they become an active source of infection causing epizootic danger during 2–4 years, i.e. before calving or abortion, still remaining the undetected source of the pathogen. At the same time the conventional diagnostic methods are practically ineffective. In this case the diagnostic method based on the immunological tolerance phenomenon implying the use of the vaccine from the strain B. abortus 19 is applied, this is a serological test to detect the negatively responsive to brucellosis heifers that are 15–20 days after vaccination and to bar them from herd reproduction. In addition, when diagnosing brucellosis, it is necessary to take into account the latent course of the disease in adult animals. It is possible to reveal hidden carriers of brucella by provoking latent infection through immunisation with vaccines from the R-strains B. abortus 1096 or RV-51, which ensures the pathogen devastation.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the use of Remdesivir among pregnant women with probable and confirmed Covid-19 coronavirus infection.

Material and methods: To implement the study, a comprehensive examination of 120 pregnant women with severe and extremely severe forms of coronavirus infection was conducted.

Results: Statistically significant differences were obtained (p=0.019) at the time of comparison between the main and control groups, depending on the age of the subjects. The studied differences are due to the higher frequency of the age group 33-42 years among patients taking Remdesivir compared to those who were in the control group (p = 0.036). Women of the main group (Me = 9.00; Q1-Q3 = 8.00-11.0) stayed longer in the hospital compared to women in the control group (Me = 8.00; Q1-Q3 = 7.00-10.0). The more severe condition of patients in this group is cause of that. There are statistically significant differences in changes in amniotic fluid according to ultrasound data in the control and main groups (p=0.013). According to the results of our study, it was found that the decrease in temperature to a normal level occurred earlier in the control group (68%) than in the main group.

Conclusion: The older age group and the third trimester of pregnancy are risk factors for the transition to a severe form of the disease. Reliable efficacy of the etiotropic drug Remdesivir could not be traced.

Authors: Yussuff Abayomi Isiaka Olanrewaju , Ayeni Michael Olorunfemi , Oreoluwa Oluwakemi Esther
Published: February 2023

Weather, rain, and atmospheric forces cause attenuation in communication satellites and devices, which affects the quality of calls and internet access. Communication signals can seriously be affected by rainfall and various research has entailed developing adequate rainfall prediction models that can accurately predict rain attenuation. Predicting rainfall attenuation from measured data is a challenging process and several rainfall attenuation models exist, but their estimates are not close to actual measured rainfall attenuation data. This paper predicts rain attenuation using a Deep Neural Network (DNN) and modelling process to propose a probabilistic model that gives better results. The proposed model was built using information from the International Telecommunications Union Radiocommunication for propagation statistics and prediction techniques needed for the construction of Earth-space telecommunication systems. Rainfall data spanning a period of seven years (January 2014 to December 2020) in Oyo State were collected from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET). Results showed that the proposed model was able to predict well even with new data (2021) and this was used to show how well the DNN model can perform using rainfall features and elimination complex mathematical models to describe the mappings between rainfall attenuation and rainfall data. This is also evident from the performance graph which shows an RMSE of 0.21 and a Loss of 0.021 at the 100 epochs. The results also reveal that the proposed model results observed against predicted, performed relatively well. From the performance metrics, it shows a value of 0.7172 for Pearson’s linear correlation, showing a strong similarity of predicted versus observed. The mode efficiency index nt on the other hand, shows a value of 0.1744 and gives near acceptable results. In conclusion, the research showed that the Deep Neural Network model was able to predict well compared to the ITU-R model.

Authors: Adiprasetio Justito , Wibowo Kunto Adi , Fauzi Muhammad Ilham , Aliifa Dzikrifa Ningtyas
Published: February 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments worldwide to mitigate the tourism sector’s crisis, one of which is to rely on effective and efficient crisis communication. However, the Indonesian government, particularly the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf), has been accused of being incompetent in managing its crisis communications. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments worldwide to mitigate the tourism sector’s crisis, one of which is to rely on effective and efficient crisis communication. Even so, no study shows how the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy crisis communication was carried out in the early phase of the pandemic. Purpose: This study aims to examine how crisis communication was carried out by the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy in the early phase of the pandemic. Methods: This study used the quantitative framing analysis method to examine the crisis frame in 178 press releases published on the official website of the Kemenparekraf in January 2020-May 2020. Results: The economic frame ranked second only behind the attribution of responsibilities and was more dominant than the human interest and morality frame. There was a public response where the government, especially the Kemenparekraf, is considered as only prioritizing economic over public safety. Conclusion: This study found that in the world’s initial phase of the COVID-19 outbreak, the press release published by the Kemenparekraf did not represent an effort to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia since it would have a significant impact on the tourism sector. Implications: Furthermore, the Kemenparekraf needed to optimize the call to action message to positively influence the public and tourism actors and assist efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

The present experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of partial replacement of corn with chocolate byproducts, protected fats, or their mixture supplemented with zinc in the diet of lactating cows on feed utilization and lactation performance for 90 days. Fifty multiparous Holstein cows (565±25 kg BW, 3±1 parity, 7±1 days in milk, and a previous milk production of 35±2.9 kg/d), were randomly assigned to 5 treatments in a completely randomized design. The control diet contained (per kg DM): 412 g concentrate feed mixture, 412 g corn silage, and 176 g berseem hay. The control diet was supplemented with 1 g of zinc daily (Zinc diet). In the other diets, each kg of crushed corn grain was replaced with (DM basis) 600 g chocolate byproducts (CH diet), 400 g protected fats (PF diet), or 500 g of chocolate byproducts and protected fats mixture (1:1 DM basis) (CHPF diet). Both amounts of protected fats and chocolate byproducts had the same energy concentration as 1 kg of corn. The total mixed ration was prepared and distributed using a horizontal mixer system after mixing for 20 min. Chemical analysis showed that the replacement minimally affected the composition of the total mixed rations. Additionally, treatments did not affect feed intake. Compared to the control treatment, the zinc treatment did not affect milk production, milk composition, or feed efficiency. Increased (P<0.05) daily production of milk and component yields, and feed efficiency as well as fat concentration were observed by the CH, PF and CHPF treatments. Without affecting other measured blood parameters or hematocrit, treatments increased (P<0.05) the concentrations of total proteins, albumin, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, and zinc in the blood of cows. Additionally, the CH, PF, and CHPF treatments increased (P<0.01) the digestibility of nutrients compared to the control treatment. It is concluded that the addition of zinc to the control did not affect cow performance; however, its addition to chocolate byproducts, protected fats, or their mixture to partially replace corn improved the performance of cows.
Nutritional Supplements for the Control of Avian Coccidiosis – A Review
Authors: Alsayeqh Abdullah F. , Abbas Rao Zahid
Published: February 2023

Coccidiosis is acclaimed as the most prevalent enteric parasitic ailment of poultry. It is caused by an apicomplexan protozoon of the genus Eimeria, which resides in chicken intestinal epithelium leading to intestinal damage. As a result, bloody droppings are there, feed efficiency is reduced, the growth rate is impaired, and egg production is temporarily decreased. Treatment and prevention of coccidiosis are primarily accomplished by inoculating live vaccines and administering anticoccidial drugs. Due to anticoccidials’ continuous and excessive use, the mounting issue is drug resistant Eimeria strains. The poultry industry has managed resistance-related issues by suggesting shuttle and rotation schemes. Furthermore, new drugs have also been developed and introduced, but it takes a long time and causes cost inflation in the poultry industry. Moreover, government disallows growth promoters and drugs at sub-therapeutic doses in poultry due to increased concerns about the drug residues in poultry products. These constraints have motivated scientists to work on alternative ways to control coccidiosis effectively, safely, and sustainably. Using nutritional supplements is a novel way to solve the constraints mentioned above. The intriguing aspects of using dietary supplements against coccidiosis are that they reduce the risk of drug-resistant pathogen strains, ensure healthy, nutritious poultry products, have less reliance on synthetic drugs, and are typically considered environmentally safe. Furthermore, they improve productivity, enhance nonspecific immunity, preventing oxidation of fats (acting as antioxidants) and inflammation (acting as an anti-inflammatory). The present manuscript focuses on the efficacy, possible mechanism of action, applications, and different facets of nutrition supplements (such as organic acids, minerals, vitamins, probiotics, essential oils, amino acids, dietary nucleotides, feed enzymes, and yeast derivatives) as feed additive for treating poultry coccidiosis.

Published: February 2023

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of diets (factor D) and the time period (factor T) during which they were applied on the growth performance and physiological condition (blood plasma hematological and biochemical indicators of stress and immunity) in juvenile sea trout (Salmo trutta; initial body weight approximately 73 g). The diet of the fish that was used prior to the experiment (formulated feed; initial fish sample) was modified as follows: a different formulated feed (group B), mixed feed (feed B + prey fish; group B/N), prey fish exclusively (group N). The fish from group A were given the feed that was used prior to the beginning of the experiment. During the 28-day trial neither factors D nor T influenced absolute or relative fish growth rates. Factor D significantly influenced hematological indicators and leukograms, while the phagocytic index and cidal ability were determined by the time test (factor T). Myeloperoxidase (AMPO) was related significantly with the influence of factors D and T and also with the interaction of D×T. A significant decrease in AMPO was noted after two weeks of the test in groups B, N, and B/N, but after four weeks this indicator did not differ from that confirmed in the initial fish sample. The factors tested influenced stress indicators, i.e., cortisol (D and T) and glucose (D). Significant increases in cortisol (group B) and glucose (groups A, B, and B/N) concentrations were noted after two weeks of the test. After the subsequent two weeks (four weeks of the test) these indicators also stabilized. Sea trout from aquaculture readily accept prey fish; however, changes in diet cause stress reactions such as temporarily reduced immunity. Thus, the procedure for preparing sea trout stocking material for release, which is to change the feed from formulated to natural (live fish), should last approximately four weeks.

Published: February 2023

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) have been shown to be challenging and persistent pests of economic crops worldwide. Among RKNs, Meloidogyne javanica is particularly important, as it rapidly spreads and has a diverse host range. Measuring its damaging threshold level will help us to develop management strategies for adequate plant protection against nematodes. In our study, we observed the relationship between a linear series of 12 initial population densities (Pi) of M. javanica, i.e., 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 second-staged juveniles (J2s) g-1 soil, and fenugreek cv. UM202 growth parameters were investigated using a Seinhorst model. A Seinhorst model was fitted to shoot length and dry weight data for fenugreek plants. A positive correlation was found between J2s inoculum levels and percent reductions in growth parameters. The 1.3 J2s of M. javanica g-1 soil were found to damage threshold levels with respect to shoot length and shoot dry weight of fenugreek plants. The minimum relative values (m) for shoot length and shoot dry weight were 0.15 and 0.17, respectively, at Pi =128 J2s g-1 soil. The maximum nematode reproduction rate (Pf /Pi) was 31.6 at an initial population density (Pi) of 2 J2s g-1 soil.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with modified-hen-egg-yolk on plasma lipids and lipoprotein profiles in rats. During the four-week-experiment, 64 Wistar rats were divided into four groups of 16 (eight of both sexes), and fed commercial rat food (group C); food containing 70% commercial rat mixture and 30% freshly cooked egg yolk originating from laying hen eggs fed with 3% fish oil (group F); 3% palm olein (group P), or 3% lard (group L). The cooked egg yolk in the rat diet affected the concentrations of plasma total and LDL-cholesterol in males of the P and L groups. Cholesterol and total fat in the diet did not have a hypercholesterolemic effect on their own, but when in combination with fatty acid composition, they could contribute to an increase in plasma total and LDL cholesterol concentrations in rats. HDL-cholesterol was the most resilient plasma lipoprotein of rats to dietary treatments in our experiment. Compared to the control group, the addition of hen egg yolk to the rat diet regardless of its quality, adversely affected the values of HDL-C/TC and HDL-C/LDL-C in both males and females.

This research focused on the relationship between art and social context, politic, and culture. The artwork is photomontages. Visualization on photomontage sometimes describe the social reality that emerged and developed at the era before World War II started. In Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung magazine which was a working class magazine during World War II there was one photomontage artist named John Heartfield who published his photomontages containing anti-Nazi propaganda. The purpose of this research was to determine the meaning of four photomontages by John Heartfield. The research method is carried out by observing and collecting data at the level of denotation and connotation with Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, as well as knowing how John Heartfield communicates propaganda through his works. The results of this research indicate that the photomontages of antiNazi propaganda by John Heartfield denotatively contains the meaning of criticism through visuals combining the figure of Adolf Hitler, Swastika, and goddess Themis with symbols based on ancient Europeans culture. In connotation, the meaning of criticism contained shows criticism of political and war crimes committed by the German people, from The Prussian Empire to The Nazi Party led by Adolf Hitler.

International integration is an inevitable trend in every country, and English is considered the key for each individual to straightforwardly approach the knowledge treasure of humankind. This study was conducted to examine several factors that may have an influence on the English language learning outcomes of grade 12 students in Gia Lai province. With the convenient sampling method, 406 12th graders who had not graduated from high school in the province participated in the survey by voluntarily answering the questionnaire. The data were then analyzed by t-test with two independent samples and by correlation and regression analysis. Research shows that students' English learning results are influenced by factors such as self-efficacy, attitude towards English learning and anxiety about the subject. In addition, the results also show that extra classes have a positive effect on the academic performance of 12th graders in Gia Lai province.
ПРИРОДА ЯК ДЖЕРЕЛО МІФОЛОГІЧНИХ СИМВОЛІВ У ПОВІСТІ М. КОЦЮБИНСЬКОГО «ТІНІ ЗАБУТИХ ПРЕДКІВ»
Authors: КУШНІР Оксана
Published: February 2023

У статті наголошено актуальність осмислення символічної риторики модерністичних письменницьких візій на рубежі XIX і ХХ століть у контексті сучасних трансформацій світобачення, пошуку нових ідейно-естетичних орієнтирів, спрямованих на збереження традиційної світоглядної парадигми, формування національної ідентичності в межах світового культурного розвитку.

Обґрунтовано значення природи для українського національного буття, звернення українських модерністів до світу природи як вмістилища живої й божественної сили в уявленнях українців. З’ясовано, що повість М. Коцюбинського «Тіні забутих предків» являє собою модерний міф природного, гармонійного універсаму, де панують культ краси і почуття. Тільки в оточенні мальовничої і таємничої природи Іван і Марічка відкривають глибину свого духовного життя, розвивають власне індивідуальне начало, що найповніше виявляється через любов і творчість.

Світ фантастичних вірувань визначають усе життя горян. В усій своїй язичницькій повноті природа стала першим і єдиним учителем Іванка. На гірських кичерах зародилося його кохання до Марічки, яке благословила водна стихія. Але саме вода, амбівалентна за своєю природою, принесла смерть Марічці, поглинаючи її у вир холоду й темряви. Серед мальовничих гірських краєвидів Іванко наповнює свою тонку чутливу душу музикою, коханням, збираючи Маріччині співаночки по лісистих пагорбах.

Повноту зв’язків людини і природи простежено через систему міфо-ритуальних дій, обрядів та ворожінь, базованих на побожному ставленні до сил природи (видобування «живого вогню» – живого прообразу бога Сонця). Розуміння цілісної світобудови, де співіснують природне, людське та божественне формувало сакрально-магічну атмосфера життя гуцулів, які за допомогою замовлянь та ворожінь ставали творцями власного буття.

Виокремлені та проаналізовані ключові природні символи води, вогню, гір, лісу, землі, неба тощо, образи української демонології, система міфо-ритуальних дій та ворожінь, звичаїв та забобонів гуцулів дав можливість осмислити міфопоетичну символіку М. Коцюбинського, визначити й усвідомити національну самобутність на фоні загальносвітового культурно-міфологічного контексту.
MÜNDLICHE ERZÄHLUNGEN DER OSTARBEITER: PLOTSCHAFFENDE ELEMENTE UND SEMANTISCHE STRUKTUR
Authors: СЛОБОДЯН Назарій
Published: February 2023

The article analyzes the oral narratives of ostarbeiters about labor slavery in Germany during the Second World War. The folklore of this thematic group is an integral part of the huge array of Ukrainian folk literature, generated as a result of repressions of the fighters for freedom and state independence of Ukraine under the military occupation of the 20th century aimed at subjugating its people and subjecting them to the will of their enslavers.

It is noted that in the territory captured by the Nazi invaders, the involvement of the able-bodied population in various jobs locally and abroad was carried out by means of recruitment, special mobilization and other actions of forcible capture of people. This became a moral and physical test for the population of Ukraine at that time, which was also widely reflected in its art constituent , in particular, in folklore.

Our research has shown that a detailed description of everyday life can be traced in the oral narratives of ostarbeiters, For Ukrainians who got a job at industrial enterprises, the main conflict of the narrative story was the problem of finding the means of survival. That is why one of the most common motives in a number of episodes is the motive of starvation and searching for food. It is emphasized that an important place in the narratives studied by us is occupied by the description of living conditions, details of everyday life, the working day schedule, and the specifics of work. The image of a German is vividly expressed, and through sympathetic, sometimes benevolent attitude and support it is constructed into the image of a "stranger" as a "different their person ". It has been observed that in the collected narratives the Germans appear not only as evil-doers (enemies), but also in some cases as benefactors and helpers who helped in one way or another in a difficult situation. A special place in such stories is occupied by the figure of a helper, who acts as one of the mandatory structural units in the system of story characters.
Holistic Approach for Aircraft Trajectory Optimization Using Optimal Control
Authors: Kasmi Hasnae , Laporte Serge , Mongeau Marcel , Vidosavljevic Andrija , Delahaye Daniel
Published: February 2023

This paper deals with an optimal control approach for commercial aircraft trajectory planning, focusing on the vertical path and the minimization of the fuel burned. The main contribution is the optimization of the whole trajectory, also called the mission, without prior separation into different flight phases (climb, cruise, and descent), contrary to traditional approaches that consider the flight phases sequentially. The proposed optimal control problem (OCP) is formulated and then solved using a direct collocation method. Initial results yield optimal trajectories with a gradual climb during the cruise (climb cruise), which correspond to theoretical trajectories that minimize fuel consumption. Furthermore, a penalization is introduced to ensure vertical profiles featuring horizontal cruise levels on so-called flight levels, compliant with current air traffic management regulations. The use of direct methods to address this OCP induces large nonlinear optimization problems that are solved using an interior point method. This methodology is likely to lead to poor local optima, but a simple multistart heuristic shows that the solutions found for standard problems appear to be globally optimal. Such an approach does not need to impose a priori the cruise flight levels and is suitable for commercial aircraft flight planning purposes. It leads to fuel saving and subsequently to important improvements against environmental impact by reducing [Formula: see text] emissions.
