Authors: Nabila Ayu Putri
Published: March 2022

AbstrakFokus utama dari penelitian ini bertujuan memaparkan proses berdirinya lembaga pendidikan modern pertama etnis Tionghoa di Batavia, yakni Sekolah Tiong Hoa Hwee Kwan (STHHK), serta mengungkap pelbagai alasan dan faktor yang menjadi pertimbangan pendirian STHHK selama masa pemerintahan Belanda. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sejarah yang terdiri dari empat tahap, yakni heurustik, kritik sumber (verifikasi), interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sejak abad ke-19, nasib kalangan Tionghoa di Batavia begitu dibatasi oleh kebijakan-kebijakan rasial pemerintah Belanda, salah satunya dalam bidang pendidikan. Oleh karena itu, STHHK muncul sebagai representasi pendidikan modern etnis Tionghoa yang didirikan secara independen oleh kalangan Tionghoa. Selama perkembangannya, sekolah turut dipengaruhi oleh keadaan masyarakat mau pun sistem pemerintahan yang ada di Batavia.Kata Kunci: Sekolah, Batavia, Tiong Hoa Hwee Kwan
Docelowy układ linii kolei dużych prędkości na Mazowszu
Authors: Wójcicki Tadeusz
Published: March 2022

Koleje dużych prędkości (KDP) mogą doprowadzić do ponownego uzyskania przewagi kolei nad transportem drogowym i lotniczym w międzymiejskim transporcie osobowym. Z tego względu tworzenie spójnej sieci linii szybkiej kolei w Polsce i na Mazowszu ma sens, a pierwszym krokiem w tym kierunku powinno być opracowanie docelowego, kompleksowego programu budowy tych linii. Tymczasem dotychczasowe ustalenia planów budowy KDP w regionie mazowieckim są fragmentaryczne, a ponadto w wielu punktach kontrowersyjne. W tej sytuacji niniejsze opracowanie ma na celu identyfikację mocnych i słabych stron ustaleń dotychczasowych planów rozwoju KDP w regionie, wskazanie innych sposobów rozwiązania ujawnionych już słabości tych planów, analizę i ocenę podstawowych alternatyw decyzyjnych oraz wybór rozwiązań optymalnych w odniesieniu do obszaru Mazowsza. Obecnie na Mazowszu istnieją dwie linie KDP, prowadzące z Katowic oraz Gdańska w kierunku Warszawy. Plany rozwojowe zakładają ich dalszą modernizację i przedłużenie do Warszawy, a ponadto przewidują stworzenie dwóch następnych linii z Białegostoku oraz Łodzi do Warszawy. Jednocześnie dokumenty planistyczne pomijają budowę linii wylotowych KDP z Warszawy w innych kierunkach geograficznych, choć i na tych kierunkach są liczne duże miasta. Aby ustalić, czy to pominięcie jest zasadne, autor wykonał uproszczoną analizę generacji ruchu pasażerskiego dla wszystkich możliwych kierunków wylotowych z Warszawy do innych miast, z której wnioski prowadzą do zasadności uzupełnienia sieci linii KDP na Mazowszu o cztery linie dodatkowe z Terespola, Lublina, Kielc oraz Torunia do Warszawy. Na podstawie wykonanych wstępnych analiz lokalizacyjnych autor stwierdził, że te dodatkowe linie powinny być zasadniczo nowymi liniami trasowanymi niezależnie od istniejących linii konwencjonalnych, a jedynie dla odcinka Warszawa – Radom jest możliwe wytrasowanie linii KDP w korytarzu istniejącej tam linii konwencjonalnej. Nie zidentyfikował istotnych przeszkód ekologiczno-przyrodniczych w budowie tych linii. Autor opowiada się za stworzeniem ściśle promienistego układu linii KDP z punktem środkowym w centrum Warszawy, co będzie w zgodzie z monocentrycznym charakterem aglomeracji warszawskiej. Plany budowy „drugiej Warszawy” przy planowanym Centralnym Porcie Komunikacyjnym (CPK) uważa za nierealne i postuluje powrót do dawnej koncepcji Centralnego Portu Lotniczego (CPL) z obsługą kolejową opartą jedynie na jednej lub dwóch liniach KDP.

Authors: Zheng Qishi , Shi Luming , Zhu Lixia , Jiao Nana , Chong Yap Seng , Chan Sally Wai-Chi , Chan Yiong Huak , Luo Nan , Wang Wenru , He Honggu
Published: March 2022

Background

The cost-effectiveness of interventions has attracted increasing interest among researchers. Although web-based and home-based psychoeducational interventions have been developed to improve first-time mothers’ postnatal health outcomes, very limited studies have reported their cost-effectiveness.

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of web-based and home-based postnatal psychoeducational interventions for first-time mothers during the early postpartum period.

Methods

A randomized controlled 3-group pretest and posttest design was adopted, and cost-effectiveness analysis from the health care’s perspective was conducted. A total of 204 primiparas were recruited from a public tertiary hospital in Singapore from October 2016 to August 2017 who were randomly allocated to the web-based intervention (n=68), home-based intervention (n=68), or control (n=68) groups. Outcomes of maternal parental self-efficacy, social support, postnatal depression, anxiety, and health care resource utilization were measured using valid and reliable instruments at baseline and at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after childbirth. The generalized linear regression models on effectiveness and cost were used to assess the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of the web-based and home-based intervention programs compared to routine care. Projections of cumulative cost over 5 years incurred by the 3 programs at various coverage levels (ie, 10%, 50%, and 100%) were also estimated.

Results

The web-based intervention program dominated the other 2 programs (home-based program and routine care) with the least cost (adjusted costs of SGD 376.50, SGD 457.60, and SGD 417.90 for web-based, home-based, and control group, respectively; SGD 1=USD 0.75) and the best improvements in self-efficacy, social support, and psychological well-being. When considering the implementation of study programs over the next 5 years by multiplying the average cost per first-time mother by the estimated average number of first-time mothers in Singapore during the 5-year projection period, the web-based program was the least costly program at all 3 coverage levels. Based on the 100% coverage, the reduced total cost reached nearly SGD 7.1 million and SGD 11.3 million when compared to control and home-based programs at the end of the fifth year, respectively.

Conclusions

The web-based approach was promisingly cost-effective to deliver the postnatal psychoeducational intervention to first-time mothers and could be adopted by hospitals as postnatal care support.

Although NLP techniques support automated information extraction in number of industries, the adoption of NLP methods to extract patient level information from Electronic Health Records has been slow. This could be attributed to a disconnect between state-of-the-art systems developed by researchers and their ability to support healthcare decision making that leads to improved outcomes. We enumerate a set of practical considerations for developing NLP system that are scientifically innovative and have potential to improve health outcomes. The key considerations that we propose include determining (1) the readiness of the data and compute resources for NLP, (2) the organizational incentives to use and maintain the NLP systems and (3) the feasibility of implementation and evaluation. They are intended to help to enable a system that is well-positioned to scale to other health systems in the US, and globally.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, such as machine learning and natural language processing, have the potential to provide new insights into complex health data. While powerful, these algorithms rarely move from experimental studies to direct clinical care implementation. This work describes the modifications leading to the successful development and integration of two AI technology-based research pipelines for clinical practice. In specific, the work highlights two different clinical systems: (1) epilepsy surgical candidate identification in an ambulatory neurology clinic; and (2) real-time patient identification for research studies in a pediatric emergency department. These projects showcase novel interactions between machine learning recommendations and providers during clinical care. Our deployment provides seamless, real-time integration of AI technology to provide decision support and improve patient care. The success of each project was largely dependent upon the collaboration between machine learning experts, research and operational information technology professionals, longitudinal support from clinical providers, and institutional leadership.

Authors: Mohajerani Farzad , Clark William R. , Ronco Claudio , Narsimhan Vivek
Published: March 2022

An understanding of the processes underlying mass transfer is paramount for the attainment of adequate solute removal in the dialytic treatment of patients with kidney failure. In this review, engineering principles are applied to characterize the physical mechanisms behind the two major modes of mass transfer during hemodialysis, namely diffusion and convection. The manner in which flow rate, dialyzer geometry, and membrane microstructure affect these processes is discussed, with concepts such as boundary layers, effective membrane diffusivity, and sieving coefficients highlighted as critical considerations. The objective is to improve clinicians’ understanding of these concepts as important factors influencing the prescription and delivery of hemodialysis therapy.

Authors: Vieira Guilherme Araujo , De Souza Luciano Azevedo , Lucas Felipe Fortuna , Mello João Carlos Correia Baptista Soares de
Published: March 2022

A utilização de um método único e básico para avaliar as revistas científicas é considerada inadequada devido à complexidade inerente a uma tal avaliação. O índice h, que é frequentemente utilizado para avaliar pesquisadores, parece ser insuficiente para esta avaliação de periódicos. Neste artigo foi feita uma avaliação conceitual do índice h e, a partir desta revisão, propõe-se um método de avaliação por meio da utilização indireta do índice h de autores que publicaram em determinado periódico. Para alcançar tal objetivo, foram realizadas análises estatísticas em três periódicos na área da gestão de projetos com os maiores índices de citações entre as bases científicas Web of Science e Scopus. Depois da análise dos dados, constata-se que existe uma correspondência entre as avaliações dos autores e as dos periódicos. Tal conclusão foi alcançada após observar que autores com maior índice h publicam em revistas com melhores avaliações. Além disso, foram registradas sugestões de trabalhos futuros.

Postinfectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Polemic and Open Issues
Authors: Sheptulin A. A. , Vize-Khripunova M. A.
Published: March 2022

Aim. An analysis of polemic and open topics in epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinic, diagnosis and treatment of postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Key points. The incidence of postinfectious IBS links to aetiological factors underlying the development of acute infectious gastroenteritis (bacteria, viruses or protozoans). The risk factors of postinfectious IBS have been identified: female gender, excessive anxiety, depression and somatisation, a severe sequence of acute infectious gastroenteritis, etc. The diagnosis of postinfectious IBS implies exclusion of organic diseases with similar clinical presentations. A specific postinfectious IBS treatment is currently lacking and adheres to non-postinfectious IBS strategies.

Conclusion. The postinfectious IBS problematic is poorly understood and requires further research.
Implementación de métodos computacionales para estimar las amplitudes angulares de los miembros inferiores durante el squat
Authors: Blanco-Díaz Cristian Felipe , Guerrero-Méndez Cristian David , Duarte-González Mario Enrique , Jaramillo-Isaza Sebastián
Published: March 2022

En biomecánica, los sistemas de captura de movimiento basados en video y en marcadores son el método más utilizado para la estimación de parámetros cinemáticos. A nivel técnico, los errores experimentales en la captura de datos suelen estar relacionados con el ocultamiento de los marcadores durante la captura del movimiento. Este fenómeno genera una pérdida de datos que puede afectar el análisis de los resultados. La falta de datos se resuelve aumentando el número de cámaras o utilizando dispositivos adicionales como sensores inerciales. Estas adiciones incrementan el costo experimental de este método. Actualmente, para resolver este tipo de problemas de forma menos costosa, se podrían utilizar nuevos métodos computacionales. Este estudio tiene como objetivo implementar dos métodos computacionales basados en red neuronal artificial (RNA) y regresión de vectores de soporte (RVS) para estimar la amplitud del ángulo de las extremidades durante la ejecución de un movimiento a partir de un solo eje (eje Z). Para entrenar y validar los modelos, se utilizaron características del ejercicio de squat. Los resultados obtenidos incluyeron valores de raíces de error cuadrático medio (RMSE) inferiores a 14 (RMSE mínimo de 5.35) y valores de CC cercanos a 0.98. Los valores estimados son muy cercanos a los ángulos de amplitud experimentales, los análisis estadísticos muestran que no hay diferencias significativas entre las distribuciones y las medias de los valores de amplitud estimados y los valores reales (valor p>0.05). Los resultados demuestran que estos métodos podrían ayudar a los investigadores en biomecánica a realizar análisis precisos, reduciendo el número de cámaras necesarias, reduciendo la incertidumbre y evitando problemas por perdida de datos.

The population in thisÂ study wereÂ 445 employes of IAIN Surakarta.Â TheÂ samplesÂ of the study wereÂ 159 employes who were alreday civil servants.Â The data analysis techniques wereÂ quantitative descriptive and inferential descriptive.Â The result of the studyÂ explainedÂ that there wasÂ a relationshipÂ between attitudes, subjective norm, and behavioural control with the intention of IAIN Surakarta employeesÂ in paying zakat. Behaviour control has the highest relationshipÂ withÂ intention. The behaviour in paying zakat carried out by IAIN Surakarta employees cannot be separated from the role of institution that use internal policies to encourage their employees to carry outÂ zakat obligations. The existence of the Zakat Management Unit (UPZ) facilitates the collection and management of zakat from IAIN Surakarta employees themselves. The influence of co-workers also increases the understanding of religion,Â especially the obligation of zakat for employees who have civil servant status, because their income has reached nisab (limit) to payÂ zakat.
FENOMENA POLIGAMI TOKOH PUBLIK (Semiotika Roland Barthes dalam Konstruksi Makna Gambar Poligami Tokoh Publik)

Published: March 2022

Fenomena poligami nyatanya menyebabkan problematika sekaligus pro dan kontra dalam pemahamannya. Hal ini menjadi menarik untuk dikaji, terutama melalui analisis semiotika Roland Barthes yang berupaya menyelidiki hubungan suatu fenomena melalui signfierÂ (penanda) sertaÂ signifiedÂ (petanda) dalam cakupan kehidupan sosial (semiologi), dan dimaknai melalui mitos. Berdasarkan pemaknaan tanda dari gambar fenomena poligami tokoh publikÂ yang diteliti,Â ditemukan mitos tentang â€œfenomena poligami sebagai ajaran umat Islam dan menjalankan poligami adalahÂ syariat Islam yang membahagiakanâ€. Hal ini merupakan salah satu muara pesan yang memperkuat legitimasi praktik poligami secara pragmatis di masyakarat melalui pemaknaan tanda. Pembenaran makna mitos tersebut akan berdampak terhadap eksistensi fenomena poligami di masyarakat, serta dapat Â dijadikan celah penyimpangan dengan dalih agama gunaÂ melegitimasi praktik poligamiÂ tersebut. Dengan demikian,Â perlu adanyaÂ sikap kritis dan pemahaman mendalam terhadap dogmanisasi poligami ini karena masih banyak sekali syarat yang harus dipenuhi dan dipahami sebelum melakukan praktik poligami.

Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the therapeutic
effect and applicability of pectoralis major muscle turnover flap
reconstruction for treatment of deep sternal wound infection after
cardiac surgery in infants and children. Methods: From march
2013 to october 2021, 23 patients with deep sternal wound infection
after cardiac surgery underwent pectoralis major muscle turnover flap
reconstruction.The data and outcomes of the patients were
retrospectively analyzed. Results: 20 patients were treated
with unilateral pectoralis major muscle turnover flap reconstruction,3
patients were treated by bilateral pectoralis major muscle turnover
flap. All of the sternal wounds healed successfully. All patients
survived and were discharged without evidence of infection. In a
follow-up period, ranging from 15 to 83 months (mean 32.6 months), all
patients demonstrated normal development with no limitations to limb
movements. There were no signs of chronic sternal infection in all of
them. Conclusion:Pectoralis major muscle turnover flap
reconstruction is a simple,feasible and effective treatment of deep
sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery in infants and
children,with minimal developmental problems.
Variation in pH gradients and FLO11 expression in mat biofilms from environmental isolates of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Published: March 2022

Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces a multicellular phenotype, known as a
mat, on a semi-solid medium. This biofilm phenotype was first described
in the lab strain 1278b and has been analyzed mostly in this same
background. Yeast cells form a mat by spreading across the medium and
adhering to each other and the surface, in part through the variegated
expression of the cell adhesin, FLO11. This process creates a
characteristic floral pattern and generates pH and glucose gradients
outward from the center of the mat. Mats are encapsulated in a liquid
which may aid in surface spreading and diffusion. Here, we examine
thirteen environmental isolates that vary visually in the phenotype. We
predicted that mat properties were universal and increased morphological
complexity would be associated with more extreme trait values. Our
results showed that pH varied significantly among strains, but was not
correlated to mat complexity. Only two isolates generated significant
liquid boundaries and neither produced visually complex mats. In five
isolates, we tracked the initiation of FLO11 using GFP under the control
of the endogenous promoter. Strains varied in when and how much GFP was
detected, with increased signal associated with increased morphological
complexity. Generally, the signal was strongest in the center of the mat
and absent at the expanding edge. Our results show that traits
discovered in one background vary and exist independently of mat
complexity in natural isolates. The environment may favor different sets
of traits, which could have implications for how this yeast adapts to
its many ecological niches.
Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard H. Thaler: Critical Evaluation & Review
Authors: Alotibi Turkyh
Published: March 2022

Thaler's ability for writing has resulted in a book that is a mix of his experiences as a faculty member, anecdotes from other economists he encountered along the journey, and a background in Behavioral Economics. Richard Thaler provides an analysis of how subjective factors influence decision-making in matters related to the economy and personal finances. The subject of "Misbehaving" is one of dominance and special interests; its power that economists were refusing and defending against the possibility of being irrational. Reading "Misbehaving" is recommended for those who want to understand how psychology influences decision-making with money and the economy, and for those who want to understand Behavioral Economics. This review will look further into evaluating the concept of irrationality and decision-making in behavioral economics.
The Role of Long Noncoding RNA MALAT1 in Diabetic Polyneuropathy and the Impact of Its Silencing in the Dorsal Root Ganglion by a DNA/RNA Heteroduplex Oligonucleotide

Published: March 2022

Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of diabetes, yet its pathophysiology has not been established. Accumulating evidence suggests that long noncoding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) plays pivotal roles in the regulation of cell growth and survival during diabetic complications. This study aimed to investigate the impact of MALAT1 silencing in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons, using an α-tocopherol–conjugated DNA/RNA heteroduplex oligonucleotide (Toc-HDO), on the peripheral nervous system of diabetic mice. We identified MALAT1 upregulation in the DRG of chronic diabetic mice that suggested either a pathological change or one that might be protective, and systemic intravenous injection of Toc-HDO effectively inhibited its gene expression. However, we unexpectedly noted that this intervention paradoxically exacerbated disease with increased thermal and mechanical nociceptive thresholds, indicating further sensory loss, greater sciatic-tibial nerve conduction slowing, and additional declines of intraepidermal nerve fiber density in the hind paw footpads. Serine/arginine-rich splicing factors, which are involved in pre-mRNA splicing by interacting with MALAT1, reside in nuclear speckles in wild-type and diabetic DRG neurons; MALAT1 silencing was associated with their disruption. The findings provide evidence for an important role that MALAT1 plays in DPN, suggesting neuroprotection and regulation of pre-mRNA splicing in nuclear speckles. This is also the first example in which a systemically delivered nucleotide therapy had a direct impact on DRG diabetic neurons and their axons.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the association between admission blood glucose levels and risk of in-hospital cardiovascular and renal complications.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In this multicenter prospective study of 36,269 adults hospitalized with COVID-19 between 6 February 2020 and 16 March 2021 (N = 143,266), logistic regression models were used to explore associations between admission glucose level (mmol/L and mg/dL) and odds of in-hospital complications, including heart failure, arrhythmia, cardiac ischemia, cardiac arrest, coagulation complications, stroke, and renal injury. Nonlinearity was investigated using restricted cubic splines. Interaction models explored whether associations between glucose levels and complications were modified by clinically relevant factors.

RESULTS

Cardiovascular and renal complications occurred in 10,421 (28.7%) patients; median admission glucose level was 6.7 mmol/L (interquartile range 5.8–8.7) (120.6 mg/dL [104.4–156.6]). While accounting for confounders, for all complications except cardiac ischemia and stroke, there was a nonlinear association between glucose and cardiovascular and renal complications. For example, odds of heart failure, arrhythmia, coagulation complications, and renal injury decreased to a nadir at 6.4 mmol/L (115 mg/dL), 4.9 mmol/L (88.2 mg/dL), 4.7 mmol/L (84.6 mg/dL), and 5.8 mmol/L (104.4 mg/dL), respectively, and increased thereafter until 26.0 mmol/L (468 mg/dL), 50.0 mmol/L (900 mg/dL), 8.5 mmol/L (153 mg/dL), and 32.4 mmol/L (583.2 mg/dL). Compared with 5 mmol/L (90 mg/dL), odds ratios at these glucose levels were 1.28 (95% CI 0.96, 1.69) for heart failure, 2.23 (1.03, 4.81) for arrhythmia, 1.59 (1.36, 1.86) for coagulation complications, and 2.42 (2.01, 2.92) for renal injury. For most complications, a modifying effect of age was observed, with higher odds of complications at higher glucose levels for patients age <69 years. Preexisting diabetes status had a similar modifying effect on odds of complications, but evidence was strongest for renal injury, cardiac ischemia, and any cardiovascular/renal complication.

CONCLUSIONS

Increased odds of cardiovascular or renal complications were observed for admission glucose levels indicative of both hypo- and hyperglycemia. Admission glucose could be used as a marker for risk stratification of high-risk patients. Further research should evaluate interventions to optimize admission glucose on improving COVID-19 outcomes.
