Authors: Wong Hui Jie , Harith Sakinah , Lua Pei Lin , Ibrahim Khairul Azmi
Published: October 2020

INTRODUCTION: Control of modifiable risk factors is important in recurrent stroke prevention strategies. This study aimed to determine the control of blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk profiles among poststroke patients. Factors associated with uncontrolled blood pressure were also determined. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the outpatient clinics of three hospitals located in the East Coast region of Peninsular Malaysia from May to August 2019. Information on socio-demographic characteristics, clinical profiles, and lifestyle practices were acquired. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out. Crude odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio (aOR) were reported. RESULTS: From a total of 398 stroke patients, majority of the respondents were elderly with first-ever stroke, ischaemic type, and duration of stroke less than 24 months. Uncontrolled blood pressure (52%), overweight and obesity (65%), abdominal obesity (54%), and low physical activity level (65%) were common among the patients. Patients with hypertension (aOR= 3.11, 95% CI: 1.38, 6.99), diabetes mellitus (aOR 1.57, 95% CI: 1.03, 2.38), not taking prescribed medication every day (aOR 2.28, 95% CI: 1.29, 4.01), overweight (aOR 1.75, 95% CI:1.02, 2.99), obesity (aOR 1.99, 95% CI: 1.12, 3.53), and low physical activity level (aOR 2.10, 95% CI: 1.35, 3.27) were at a higher risk of having uncontrolled blood pressure. CONCLUSION: Uncontrolled blood pressure and other major cardiovascular risk factors were highly prevalent among poststroke patients. Increased efforts must be made to optimise the risk profiles management of these high-risk patients to prevent recurrent vascular events in the future.

Authors: HW You , PL Tan , AF Mat Ludin
Published: October 2020

INTRODUCTION: Physical activity is an essential element in our daily life that leads to long-term health benefits. Physical activity refers to movement of the body that requires energy. Body mass index (BMI) indicates a ratio of body weight to squared height, which is a useful health indicator. On the contrary, body composition describes the body by measuring percentages of fat and muscle in human bodies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the relationship between physical activities, BMI and body composition among pre-university students from one of the universities in Selangor, Malaysia. Stratified random sampling was employed to recruit 70 pre-university students into this study. RESULTS: From the study, 50% of the respondents are categorized as minimally active. In addition, there is significant difference between the physical activity levels of male and female respondents. The relationship between physical activity and BMI indicates a very weak negative correlation. Similarly, the correlation between physical activity and fat mass is a weak negative relationship. Meanwhile, there is a weak positive correlation between physical activity and muscle mass. CONCLUSION: Therefore, it can be concluded that when physical activity increases, BMI and body fat mass will decrease, while muscle mass will increase. Moreover, it was shown that there was a significant relationship between physical activity and body composition.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Adolescence is a crucial phase in life, as this is the time when they are developing their identity, while at the same time forming relationships with others, including their family members. This study investigated adolescents’ mental health status in Malaysia and its associated factors including self -esteem and parenting style that are experienced by them. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 248 school-going adolescents aged 13 and 14 years in Selangor, Malaysia. The validated Malay version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was utilized to assess adolescents’ mental health status. In addition, the adolescents’ self-esteem was also assessed using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale Questionnaire while the Parental Bonding Instrument was used to assess their parent’s parenting style. Results: Almost 20% of the adolescents were found to have mental health problems such as emotional and conduct problems, hyperactivity disorder and peer problems. Using multivariate analysis, factors that were associated with mental health problems were family income (AOR=2.788, 95% CI=1.397, 5.563), adolescents’ self-esteem (AOR=0.799, 95% CI=0.668, 0.955) and their perception on parental control (AOR=1.175, 95% CI=1.020, 1.353). Conclusion: This study shows that one fifth of these adolescents had mental health problems. Low socio-economic factors, over controlling parents and poor self-esteem were associated with these problems. In conclusion, it is important to educate parents on effective parenting style, as improper parenting may cause psychological distress among adolescents. Improving families’ socioeconomic status and adolescents’ self-esteem can also enhance their mental health and well-being.

Published: October 2020

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is an adjunct to behavioral speech therapy to enhance the recovery of post-stroke dysphasia. Administration of tDCS involves the application of low- amplitude electrical currents through surface electrodes, which are placed onto the scalp to influence the neuronal activity.TDCS montage and patients' clinical characteristics are the important factors in determining the outcome of the intervention.  We aim to describe the clinical characteristics, outcomes and local limitation factors of five post-stroke patients who received TDCS combined with behavioural therapy for dysphasia. All patients, except for Case #5 showed improvement at day 10 post-intervention in several speech and language domains. TDCS is a promising adjunctive intervention in enhancing neuroplasticity activity in a post-stroke brain. A further well design case-controlled study is warranted to prove its efficacy in our local population. Local factors and limitations that may influence the outcome should be considered.

Authors: Mohd Arifin SRM , NA Hassan
Published: October 2020

The widespread transmission of the new coronavirus disease COVID-19 has caused great psychological distress across diverse populations in many countries. Antenatal women are at greater risk of emotional instability and vulnerability due to hormonal changes, and multiple maternal roles. This paper aims to determine the common types of psychological distress and potential interventions amongst antenatal women during COVID19 outbreak. This review was conducted as a rapid review in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were searched using keywords namely “novel coronavirus”, “COVID-19”, “nCoV”, “maternal mental health”, “pregnant”, “psychology”, “anxiety”, “depression” and “stress” in various permutations and combinations. A total of five papers were included in the final analysis. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the selected papers. Findings from the papers reviewed showed that COVID-19 has independently increased the prevalence of psychological distress among antenatal mothers. The most common types of distress were anxiety (57%- 83.3%), followed by worry (50.7%) and depression (34.2-37%). The distress experienced by the antenatal women with COVID-19 was found to be associated with suicidal thought. Social support, psychological hotlines, and online counselling have been suggested to alleviate the symptoms of mental distress among antenatal women. The COVID-19 pandemic has independently caused psychological distress among antenatal women to rise. Maternal mental health should be prioritised during the pandemic, and mental support should be made available and accessible during and after the COVID-19 outbreak in ensuring the ongoing provision of mental health services.

Authors: Xiaoya Long
Published: October 2020

In every country, the school of classical dance, as the foundation for the training of ballet dancers, has its own specific features. The late twentieth century, in most countries an independent path for the development of ballet art and the structuring of professional ballet education have been determined. Nowadays European ballet schools have almost the same structure of choreographic education, and in the countries that have undergone totalitarian regimes and economic and political isolation, other ballet system are mostly used. A separate branch in the overall system of ballet education is Eastern School that has not had a clear standardized system of education yet, but has already ranked in the overall structure of the world educational process and trains European-level performers. The current system of professional ballet education should be analyzed in the light of the experience of national, artistic and educational traditions, as this leads to excellent training, which is not scientifically substantiated in this context. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to identify the characteristic features of different schools and to carry out their comparative analysis. The aim is achieved by identifying the leading countries providing training at the above schools and formulating basic criteria for the comparative analysis of the structure and results of ballet education. Thus, for the first time, an attempt is made to identify the distinctive features and identities in the systems of training of ballet dancers in different schools, taking into account national, artistic and educational traditions. The comparative analysis has made it possible to determine the features of modern professional ballet education, which are specified by: national dance traditions built-in the system of primary education, state cultural policy, systematic training and mastering additional types of dance. All this determines the effectiveness of ballet training, and enables to distinguish the features of performing technique and ballet style, gives artists the opportunity to represent their skills in academic or contemporary ballet repertoire.

Authors:   Donetsk National Technical University, Popova Olga
Published: October 2020

The article describes the modern world experience in the formation and development of the system of economic evaluation of environmental investments. Approaches to the formation of the discount rate using dynamic methods of evaluating the effectiveness of investments are analyzed. An analysis of world experience in the economic evaluation of environmental investments. It is established that the methods of economic evaluation of environmental investments require adjustment of the main investment parameters - the amount of investment payments, the duration of the planned horizon, the discount rate - taking into account the specifics of such investments. The article identifies a high level of environmental risk and higher amounts of invested capital as specific features of environmental investments. This primarily applies to the methodology of economic evaluation of environmental investments, which are characterized by an increased level of risk, higher cost of capital involved in contrast to traditional investments. It is proposed to consider the conditions for the formation of critical points in the interest rate on the example of an investment designed for five years. The choice of such a planned project implementation horizon is due to the fact that with an odd number of years there is always at least one critical point and under certain conditions, which will be discussed below, there is a possibility of new critical points that expand investment efficiency. It is shown that if the project is designed for an even number of years, the existence of one such point is not always possible. The study confirms that with a certain change in investment parameters there is an expansion or contraction of the safety zone when changing one or more parameters of environmental investment. implementation will be economically feasible for all participants in the investment process.

Introduction: Descending Necrotizing Mediastinitis (DNM) is the fatal form of mediastinitis and mostly
develops as a complication of peritonsillar abscesses or dental- odontogenic infections. The aim of this study
is to evaluate clinical and surgical feature of the patients with DNM who were managed in our Department
during the period of general lockdown in Greece, between March 2020 and June 2020, because of the Covid19.
Patients and Methods: During the period of general lockdown in Greece, 4 patients, mean age 46, 25 years
(range 39-59), with DNM treated to our Department of General Thoracic Surgery. Primary odontogenic
abscess occurred to 2 patients and peritonsillar abscess to other 2 of them. Diagnosis was confirmed by
computed tomography (CT) of the neck and chest. All patients underwent surgical drainage of abscesses of
the involved cervical region and mediastinum by lateral cervicotomy and left thoracotomy in three of them
and cervicotomy, and bilateral thoracotomy in one patient.
Results: The delay between the occurrence of thoracic symptoms and mediastinal drainage varied from 1
to 3 days. The side of the thoracotomy depended on the involved mediastinal compartments and side of
pleural effusion. The duration of mediastinal drainage varied from 12 to 20 days (mean: 17 days). One
patient died of multiorgan failure related to post-op septic shock.
Conclusion: Between January 2000 and January 2020, 21 patients with DNM were treated at our
Department, whilst during the four - month of lockdown, four patients were treated. We concluded that the
patients delay for dentistry recourse because of covid-19, result in the increased number of patients with
DNM in the above period. Delayed diagnosis and inadequate drainage are the main causes of the high
mortality rate of DNM. If one realistically hopes to avoid the high mortality rate, aggressive surgical
drainage and debridement of the neck and drainage of the mediastinum via a posterolateral thoracotomy by
a multidisciplinary team of surgeons is a must.
Costs as a Basic Component of the System of Accounting and Analysis of Livestock Production
Authors:   Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, Mulyk Tetiana
Published: October 2020

Introduction. The need to ensure efficient production of livestock products dictates the need to improve accounting and analytical support for the management of this process, and in particular the costs that are the main factor in the formation of the cost of livestock products. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to assess current trends in the livestock industry and study the essence of the concept of “costs”, determine their economic content and their importance as a basic component of the system of accounting and analysis of livestock production. Results. The article examines the costs as a basic component of the system of accounting and analysis of livestock production. The role of the livestock industry in food security, development of agricultural production and the country’s economy has been demonstrated. Production volumes and livestock has been analyzed. It has been noted that in today’s conditions, the peculiarity of the industry is the reduction of production and livestock, which occurs in farms of all forms of ownership. It has been determined that the main objects of accounting and analysis, control of which belongs to the competence of the enterprise, are costs. A critical assessment of similar categories: as “costs”, “costs” and “cost” has been introduced. It has been established that cost management in essence is the management of all economic activities of the organization, as it covers all aspects of production processes carried out at the enterprise. Accordingly, the main tasks of accounting for production costs has been identified. Concepts such as: cost centers, places of their origin, responsibility centers has been studied. Based on the development of P (S) BU 16 “Costs” structurizing of the enterprise costs has been made. The purpose, objectives and sources of cost analysis in the field of animal husbandry and the features of this industry, which must be considered in the organization of accounting and analysis has been determined. Conclusions. The process of production of livestock products is accompanied by the incurrence of costs, which either form the cost of finished products, or are recognized as expenses of the period. The costs incurred before the sale of products are often called costs. This indicates that the category of “costs” is decisive and fundamental for the interpretation and development of the essence of the concepts of “costs” and “cost”. This understanding allows to eliminate the ambiguity of interpretation in the categorical apparatus of accounting and to build a concept of organization of accounting and analysis in general and in the field of animal husbandry, in particular.

Published: October 2020

Introduction. Globalization processes have a significant impact on the global market environment, encouraging enterprises to find ways of improving their performance for the long period of time. Logistics management is one of the prerequisites for this. Using of logistics management elements at agricultural enterprises activities, which operate due to specific objective constraints (cash gaps associated with the duration of agricultural production; high material consumption; low profitability of many areas of crop and livestock) becomes important. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to investigate the essence of logistics management and its role and significance for agricultural enterprises activities in Ukraine. Results. The article substantiates the need to use logistics management in the activities of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. The approaches of domestic and foreign scientists to the definition of «logistics management» term are studied. The main aspects of the category are singled out. The definitions are systematized according to three approaches (adaptive, optimization, systematic). The role of logistics management in domestic agricultural enterprises activities in accordance with the selected approaches is investigated. In the context of adaptive capacity of logistics management, there was considered the level of transport support of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine, which indicates the unsatisfactory state of logistics. The ability to regulate the level of material support of economic activity in accordance with the needs of the production process is presented as an optimizing function of logistics management. According to the system approach, the maximum interconnection of all components of the logistics system can be achieved through the use of modern technologies in the activities of farmers. According to the system approach, the greatest interconnection of all components of logistics system can be achieved by using the modern technologies in agricultural enterprises activities. Conclusions. Logistics management is able to significantly increase the economic efficiency of enterprise compared to classical management methods due to high adaptability, optimality and consistency. The efficiency of logistics activities at enterprise can be manifested: in optimal organization of supply; in production and sales activities of the enterprise; in reducing logistics costs; in optimization of material, financial and information flows; in production of competitive products; in entering new markets; in scientific and technical achievements.
General Theoretical Approaches to the Concept of “State Property” as an Object of Evaluation
Authors:   Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, Tymoshchyk Liliia
Published: October 2020

Introduction. The basic concept of modern society is the concept of property. It is the basis of social relations – a variety of categories of tangible and intangible objects can be considered as property. This article considers the modern definition of “state property” in the Ukrainian economic literature, and features of the definition of state property as an object of evaluation in its economic content in Ukraine. Purpose. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the main existing in the current economic literature approaches to the valuation of state-owned property. Results. As simple and basic concept “state property” does not have a single clear and comprehensive definition. The article presents three main approaches to it. The interpretations presented in encyclopedic materials, views on state property from the point of view of sociology and philosophy are considered. Considerable attention is paid to the views of domestic economists, who focus on various aspects of the economic content of the concept, considering it as an act of state appropriation of certain objects (S. Mocherny), from the standpoint of the social contract (M. Kamyshanska), with emphasis for the purpose of using property – the realization of national interests (G. Dorofeeva), taking into account the role of state property as the basis of the economy of society (V. Emelyanov) and the primacy of economic relations compared to legal (N. Biryukova). Conclusions. Concluding the article, the author concludes that he adheres to the approach that state property, in contrast to private property is a system of relations regarding the appropriation of goods in the interests of the community and the state as a whole. Thus, state property can be considered as a basis for the development of capital-intensive industries and industries, an economic reserve designed to ensure the development of private and public capital of the nation, private enterprise, and to eliminate the effects of economic crises. State property is also responsible for the material security of public safety, the work of the social sphere and the production of public goods.

Magazinc! is one of the mass media managed by Telkom University students, which so far has only focused on publication activities through social media and print magazines. In 2019, Magazinc! do not have a news portal website even though they realize the importance of the website's presence. This article will describe the design process of the Magazinc! website through a mixed-method approach. The necessary data has been collected through triangulation of literature review related to students' news portal website design, interviews, questionnaires, and visual observations, to maximize the validity of this research. Based on the results of data analysis, we found that the typeface used on web pages largely determines the size that should be used for the typography itself. Also, a Magazinc! news portal website has been designed, which can compete with similar websites that already exist within Telkom University. This article can be an example of designing a student news portal website.

Published: October 2020

Bali is one of the small islands in Indonesia that known as an international and national tourists destination. Many of Information related to tourist destinations in Bali is scattered and fragmented available on the Internet. This causes many of the potential tourists who want to find information related to tourist destinations in Bali to have to visit one site to another to aggregate the information. Besides, much of the information available on the Internet is human-readable but not for computer applications, and this becomes a challenge for computer applications to aggregate existing information. This study aims to develop an ontology model in the domain of Bali's tourism destinations by adopting the kulkul knowledge framework (Tri Hita Karana and Kala Patra Village) in which this ontology as a backbone of the semantic web can be utilised by computer-based applications to manipulate existing information for user needs. In this study, initial testing is done regarding the proposed ontological model by providing a set of questions that are commonly used by users when accessing information about tourism destination. So, it is expected that the propose ontology model will be able to provide information on tourism in Bali systematically.

Study Design: Prospective study.Purpose: To investigate the prevalence and the associated risk factors of chronic neuropathic pain symptoms using painDETECT questionnaire in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion (PSF) surgery.Overview of Literature: Post-lumbar surgery syndrome is a disease entity that describes neuropathic pain following spinal surgery. However, few studies have investigated the prevalence and risk factors for neuropathic pain in pediatric population undergoing corrective spinal surgery.Methods: Forty AIS patients were recruited. Demographic, preoperative, and postoperative data were recorded. The magnitude and characteristics of postoperative pain were assessed using the painDETECT questionnaire through telephone enquiries at intervals of 2, 6, 12, and 24 weeks. Statistical analyses were followed by Pearson correlation test to determine the relationship between pain scores at 6, 12, and 24 weeks with the risk factors.Results: Based on the painDETECT questionnaire, 90% of the patients had nociceptive pain, and 10% had a possible neuropathic pain component at 2 weeks postoperatively as per a mean painDETECT score of 7.1±4.5. Assessments at 6, 12, and 24 weeks showed that no patients had neuropathic pain with painDETECT scores of 4.4±3.2, 2.9±2.9, and 1.5±2.0, respectively. There was a significant correlation between total postoperative morphine use during 48 hours after the surgery and a tendency to develop neuropathic pain (p=0.022).Conclusions: Chronic neuropathic pain was uncommon in AIS patients who had undergone PSF surgery. Higher opioid consumption will increase the possibility of developing chronic neuropathic pain.
