Post op fracture of the cruris is a break in the tibia and fibula. Clinically, it can be an open fracture if it is accompanied by damage to the soft tissues muscle, skin, nerve tissue, and blood vessels, allowing the connection between the broken bone fragments with the outside air and the closed fracture. The impact that trauma can have on a fracture is limited to activity, may have the change in the damaged part of the body an the anxiety that may result from pain and pain. This research method used a literature study with a case study of nursing care in post op cruris fracture patients with acute pain problems in the Asoka Pavilion of Jombang Hospital which was carried out in the 2017-2019 period. The results of the literature study show that the priority problem for post op client cruris fracture is acute pain. The literature study of 4 clients showed that there were similar factors causing pain in the post op wound fracture of the cruris which resulted in decreased muscle strength, swelling, dan CRT> 2 seconds. Surgery will produce damaged cells with the consequence that it will release autanoid chemicals that can cause pain. Efforts to cope with injuries from post op cruris fracture by performing techniques in the greeting relaxation activities and listening to music and pain medication. In order to recover wounds from post op fracture, the cruris fracture should be treated routinely and increase their nutritional intake

and changing requirements of globalizing society. Hence, there is a need to shift from traditional method of teaching statistics to new paradigms. This paper presents the improvements implemented along with its appraisal in teaching general education statistics courses using the traditional transmissive pedagogy and then shifting to transformative learning paradigm. The transmissive pedagogy involves merely lectures and paper-and-pen tests, while the transformative learning paradigm integrates computer-based instructions, Web technologies, authentic assessment, problem-based learning, collaborative inquiry, and use of real-life data. Results showed a significant improvement in understanding statistics for both learning paradigms. However, the data did not provide evidence to indicate differences in the amount of learning between the two paradigms. Classical and Bayesian factor analyses both obtained seven non- intellective factors. The two paradigms differ significantly on five factors indicating that students are enthused towards statistical literacy under the transformative learning framework.

Our challenge as teachers is to achieve a critical formation of the use of these new technologies, and in the province of Santa Fe the Pedagogic Laboratories complete this function. These Laboratories are instances of formation with the purpose of recreating our own practices and innovation spaces in our way of teaching that it becomes in experimentation in new learning ways. We present a Site of Probability as a different strategy of incorporating the Probability at school. When working this way the students are motivated, they participate generating a space of social construction of learning, a significant learning that they will be able to apply to other situations of the daily life.
Integrating statistics: doing research in undergraduate studies
Authors:   University of Beira Interior and CEMAPRE, Ferrao Maria Eugénia
Published: April 2022

The paper describes the project Mathematics and Statistics for the Development of Professional Skills. Motivation and integration are keywords of teaching statistics to students who are not primarily interested in statistics. The motivation is based on illustrative problems, questions or examples of the field and real life that can be solved, answered or better understood with the study of the respective statistical content(s). Recently published scientific papers are used as didactic material. In general, the integration occurs throughout the following steps: explaining abstract statistical concepts and methods; applying concepts and methods to the example given as motivation; doing tutorial data analyses with statistical software; replicating data analyses and solving research problems with real data. The pedagogic methodology is based on the mixed uses of lectures and student centered activities. The didactic method exposed allows students an early practice of scientific activities.
Students’ emerging expressions of uncertainty while making informal statistical inferences about data
Authors:   University of New England, Prodromou Theodosia
Published: April 2022

This research study investigates the development of middle school students’ emerging expressions of uncertainty through observation of 14- to 15-year-olds, challenged in informal inferential reasoning. This study focuses on students’ investigations when sampling from populations and using information from the samples to draw conclusions about the parent populations. The results suggest that when the students engaged in processes of drawing generalised conclusions from data, involving generalising beyond data and using data as evidence of the generalisation, they developed probabilistic language to articulate the degree of certainty embedded in the generalisation. As the students engaged in their inquiries, they developed more sophisticated expressions of the probabilistic language. Attending to students’ emerging articulations of uncertainty when making judgments about the underlying structure of the data and observing patterns and trends in data, provides an opportunity to develop more sophisticated understandings of the developmental process of students’ statistical inferential reasoning.

Since the Curriculum revision in 2008 and 2009, statistics education in Japan is improving gradually. Number of teachers who have concerned with statistics education, develop and try new lessons has been increased. But the usage of software in statistics lessons is very limited. Many teachers teach statistics only with papers and pencils in traditional style. In this paper, what kinds of obstacles for teachers in Japan to teach statistics especially focused on software use are reported firstly. Secondly, we note needed supports for them, 1) Statistical software (or function) accessible without install process, 2) GUI which enable for teachers and students to analyze data intuitively, 3) Interesting dataset which can enrich students’ data analysis activities and lessons. Finally, we report construction and new system of Japanese CensusAtSchool website to match those demands.

Published: April 2022

There are far reaching changes occurring in the information industry, including the world of official statistics. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is planning to put the user at the centre by giving to them a chance to speak directly with our data. Our catch cry has become ‘freedom to share data will make data more valuable – but only if it’s managed differently.’ The ABS mission is “We assist and encourage informed decision-making, research and discussion within governments and the community, by providing a high quality, objective and responsive national statistical service.” Informed decision making presupposes a level of statistical ability which we know needs development within the Australian community. The ABS has an important leadership role in improving the statistical capability and literacy of our current and future customers. Our statistical output and communication strategy is vital to achieve the aspirational goal of a citizenry that uses statistics to make sensible, informed decisions, whatever their job, community or situation. This paper outlines some aspects of the ABS output and communication strategy, how it has changed and how the strategy increasingly supports a diverse range of customers and their requirements. The paper finishes by examining a range of innovative ABS outputs that have a stronger focus on building statistical capability in communities with lower statistical literacy, such as our youth community.

The increase of multidrug-resistant bacteria - including Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) - has been reported globally. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the risk factors of A. baumannii infection, its resistance profile, reservoirs and mortality rates in Brazil. Data from over 3,000 patients were included. Results suggested that A. baumannii is widely transmitted in Brazil and the endemic clones ST1, ST15, ST 25, ST79, ST162 and ST730 were the most reported; also, blaOXA23, blaOXA51 and blaOXA143 were common resistant genes. The risk factors for A. baumannii infectionincluded the procedure of using invasive devices, previous antibiotic therapy, hemodialysis, comorbidities and higher scores on the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA). Two out of five studies identified multidrug resistant A. baumannii to polymyxin. Mortality rates varied between 43.7% to 81%, except for the ST25 strain in which there was a 100% mortality rate. Mortality was associated with sepsis, respiratory infection, septic shock, old age (>60 years) and administration of norepinephrine. Nonetheless, this review highlights the need for more data on A. baumannii infectionacross Brazil to support public policies aiming to control and prevent the dissemination of this bacteria.

In conjunction with other health promotion strategies, vaccination of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a strategy to alleviate the burden of infection. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in antibody response strength between individuals who received COVID-19 vaccination and those who had a natural infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A cross-sectional study was conducted among post-natural confirmed COVID-19 infection and immunized people in Bali, Indonesia. The vaccination was using Sinovac-CoronaVac with two-weeks interval between the two vaccine doses. To measure the level of anti-Spike receptor binding domain (SRBD) of SARS-CoV-2 antibody, we used Roche electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) platform. Blood samples were obtained before and 28 days after first immunization in the vaccinated group, as well as two weeks after hospital discharge in the confirmed COVID-19 patients based on real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). A total of 58 confirmed COVID-19 patients and 60 vaccinated individuals were included. On the 28th day after the initial vaccination, the seroconversion rate among vaccinated individuals was 91.67%. The mean titer of anti-SRBD SARS-CoV-2 antibody among vaccinated participants was 63.62±82.57 IU/mL (ranged between 0 IU/mL and 250 IU/mL). The mean titer among naturally infected group was 188.47±94.57 IU/mL (ranged between 4.25 IU/mL to 250 IU/mL) regardless the severity of COVID-19. Our data suggested that the titer of anti-SRBD SARS-CoV-2 antibody was significantly higher in naturally infected individuals compared to those who received COVID-19 vaccination (p<0.001). These data suggest that not all individuals vaccinated with Sinovac COVID-19 had protective level of anti-SRBD SARS-CoV-2 antibody and booster dose of heterologous vaccine maybe required.

Introducción: La información respecto al impacto de la infección por COVID-19 en personas gestantes continúa en desarrollo y es clave la construcción de evidencia local para guiar la toma de decisiones. En particular, resulta de gran interés conocer variables que se asocian a peor evolución.

Objetivos: describir la evolución de la infección por SARS COV2 en personas gestantes y determinar variables asociadas a mayor severidad clínica.

Materiales y Métodos: Estudio observacional de cohorte retrospectivo. Periodo: 01-03-2020 a 31-07-2021. Se incluyeron personas gestantes con diagnóstico de COVID 19, asistidas en un hospital maternidad de gestión pública. Los casos se clasificaron según severidad clínica acorde a clasificación del NIH. Para el análisis, se dividió a las pacientes en 2 grupos: Grupo 1 leve y de manejo ambulatorio. Grupo 2 moderado, severo y crítico, con requerimiento de internación. Se analizó la relación entre variables y severidad clínica. Variables estudiadas: Obesidad, DBT, HIE, edad gestacional, edad materna, vacunación antigripal. Los recién nacidos de madres infectadas, se estudiaron con PCR para SARS -COV 2 de secreciones nasofaríngeas a las 24 a 48 hs postnacimiento. Análisis estadístico: Chi-cuadrado o test exacto de Fisher. Significancia= p<0.05. Estudio aprobado por Comité de Etica institucional.

Resultados: Se incluyeron 52 personas gestantes con diagnóstico de COVID19. Edad mediana 29.6 años. 23 pacientes (44%) requirieron internación y 2 (4%) ARM. 29 casos (55.5%) fueron leves, 19 (36.5%) moderados, 2 (4%) severos y 2 (4%) críticos. El 59.6 % se diagnosticó con más de 28 semanas de gestación. No hubo ningún fallecimiento materno ni fetal hasta 30 días postparto. No se observó relación entre comorbilidades y severidad clínica (p=0.8). La edad gestacional ≥ 28 semanas fue la única variable asociada a formas clínicas más severas, p=0.00004. El 66% de los embarazos finalizaron por cesárea, lo cual resultó estadísticamente significativo contra los registros históricos del hospital, p=0.00004. 48/52 recién nacidos fueron estudiados con PCR para SARS-COV 2, siendo sólo 1 (2%) positivo. Éste fue el único recién nacido sintomático.

Conclusiones: En nuestro estudio se observó que la infección por SARS COV2 durante la gestación, se asoció a presentaciones clínicas más severas, especialmente cuando la infección se cursó en el 3° trimestre de gestación. El COVID 19 se asoció además, con mayor incidencia de finalización del embarazo por cesárea.
Assessment of the thermotolerance of leaves of spontaneous oak species in northern and central Republic of Moldova
Authors:   Moldova State University, Cuza Petru
Published: April 2022

Understanding how the leaves of oak species trees respond to the action of thermal stress is essential in assessing their ability to adapt and in predicting their spread in the conditions of future increase in ambient temperature. In this study, the thermotolerance of tree leaves of the species was investigated: pedunculate oak, sessile oak and downy oak after the exposure of limb foliate samples to thermal shock with a temperature of 59° C for different periods of time. With the help of the electrolyte leakage method, the functional resistance of the leaves to the oak species was compared, not avoiding the avoidance phenomena. Based on the index of relative leakage of electrolytes from the tissues, the functional features of the leaves of oak species, which grow under certain environmental conditions in the Republic of Moldova, were examined. It has been shown that the thermotolerance of oak species changes depending on their biological characteristics and the environmental conditions in which the trees grow. Based on the lethal dose values (LD50), it was established that in the northern part of the Republic of Moldova the leaves of pedunculate oak are characterized by a slightly higher resistance, while those of downy oak show a somewhat higher sensitivity. In the stands in the center of the Republic of Moldova, the resistance of the downy oak leaves has obviously increased and the tolerance of the pedunculate oak ones has decreased.
Non-specific reactions in the leaves of pediculate oak (Quercus robur) after exposing to heat shock
Authors:   Moldova State University, Cuza Petru , Zdioruc Nina ,   Institute of Genetics, Physiology and Plant Protection, Republic of Moldova
Published: April 2022

The experimental results of non-specific reactions in the leaves of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) due to the action of thermal shock are presented. The leaves exposed to thermal shock was determined the relative quantum yield of photosystem II after 6 days of maintaining them in favourable conditions and estimated electrolyte leaks from the leaves. A high level of viability of the yellow leaves was highlighted in the control sample and a partial restoration in them of the relative quantum efficiency of photosystem II after the application of the thermal shock during 20 minutes. It was shown that the yellow leaves (yellowed due to the phenomenon of suffocation at the root level) compared to the green ones had a higher resistance to the action of heat shock. This fact suggests that the state of stress initiated by the asphyxiation phenomenon, determined the increase of the nonspecific resistance of the yellow leaves towards the stress factors.

Published: April 2022

The study is aimed to determine the prevalence and the stressors among medical students, as well as to observe an association between the level of stress and its causative agents. A questionnaire, consisting of 2 sections, one defining the stress level and the other - causation, was sent to the medical students from year 1 to year 6 of the Tbilisi State Medical University (USMD Program). Perceived stress varied among the academic years, with the mean of 22.4 (on the scale of 0-40), which indicates the moderate level of stress. The first four years had significantly higher stress levels compared to the last two. The most significant stressors were exams and the studying process, whereas least stressful turned out to be communicative stressors. The findings can be useful for medical school professors and administration to understand the students’ well-being, which will be helpful to create a more comfortable study environment.
AEROSPACE MEDICINE: FUTURE DOCTORS IN A NEW SPACE ERA
Authors: BRIDGER HOFMANN , BERIASHVILI RIMA
Published: April 2022

Currently there is a growing interest in Aerospace Medicine, a field focused on the physiology of the human body in outer-atmosphere and space environments. What interest exists in the specialty and whether medical students are capable of approaching common challenges in this area remains to be seen. A multiple-choice test along with a survey was structured and distributed to TSMU medical students. Year 1 and Year 2-6 students’ scores were compiled and compared. Data collected from results revealed there is surprisingly great interest in Aerospace Medicine in the medical student community, as well as the lack of statistical significance between experienced students’ performance and understanding of first-year students. Though the study confirms the existence of an interest in Aerospace Medicine, the lack of statistical significance when comparing students is most likely due to inadequate data and the ineffectiveness of the test.

Published: April 2022

Utilization of influenza vaccine among pregnant women in Georgia remains suboptimal. To uncover some of the contributing factors to low uptake of influenza vaccine among pregnant women in Georgia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Spring-Summer 2021 on the postpartum women as the focus population. Females >18 years old were asked to complete the survey. The survey contained 14 items. The questions were categorized into 5 main groups. A total of 200 surveys were delivered to the hospitals. Survey results reveal that regnant women’s awareness and attitudes regarding the Influenza vaccination were subpar and not conductive to reliable efforts in optimal vaccine uptake. While the absolute majority of the study subjects confirmed that they had heard about the Influenza vaccine, less than a quarter of them accepted to be immunized. Importantly, half of the responders discussed the subject of immunization with their healthcare provider, however, had not made the final decision for vaccination. There is meaningful space to encourage pregnant women’s awareness and education on benefits and safety of influenza vaccination during pregnancy. This is preferable to be performed through the education and information campaigning conducted by health care providers working in perinatal care facilities.

Published: April 2022

Covid-19 is a pandemic that has changed the very structure of the world in the past year. Anosmia was not mentioned as a symptom during the first wave of the pandemic. Still, recent literature from both Western and Chinese started describing anosmia as an early symptom along with other flu-like symptoms. This paper discusses whether anosmia can be used as an early diagnostic symptom and if there is a female predominance of anosmia in Covid-19 patients. We used 290 Covid-19 positive patients from Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College Hospital, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India.

Published: April 2022

With the advent of the Coronavirus in 2020, our economic and social situations have drastically changed. As a result, rather than finding a way to eradicate the virus, we have made several societal and behavioural changes that dictate us to live along with the virus. Nevertheless, the world is making strides toward creating a cure for Covid. Furthermore, to completely eradicate the virus, we must monitor the patients’ symptoms during infection and after they recover (post-covid). Again, forming links connecting human components such as ages and gender with post-covid symptoms help us understand the virus to a much greater degree. This survey aims to scrupulously determine the relationship between people of distinct age groups, gender, and the post-covid symptoms they are exhibiting.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with its lifetime risk exceeding over 60%. Though various medications and procedures have managed to play a role in reducing mortality, none have shown to be permanent. The idea of stem cells is to generate an original solution that provides normal physiological responses. When applied to cardiology, it holds tremendous promise for rapid myocardial regeneration. The selection of the most appropriate type of cell is essential for its efficient application. If done successfully, it will negate temporary solutions such as a stent, defibrillators, and medications. This article discusses all the studies that applied stem cells in cardiac pathologies and reveals the benefits as well as outcomes. It helps us understand the limitations one may come across while experimenting in this field and introduces issues that will need further research.

Authors:   Institute of Power Engineering, Republic of Moldova, Oleschuk Valentin
Published: April 2022

This paper presents a short survey of the results of elaboration and investigation of novel methods, schemes, and algorithms of synchronous multi-zone space-vector modulation of signals in power electronic converters of electrical energy parameters, focused on improvement of operation efficiency of converter-based transport-oriented electric drives and of photovoltaic power conversion systems, which were published mainly in the two-year period 2019–2020. These methods and algorithms of synchronous pulse-width modulation (PWM) allow providing continuous synchronization and symmetries of waveforms of the converters output voltage, with minimization of undesirable sub-harmonics in spectra of voltage and current, and also with minimization of undesirable common-mode voltage in electric transport systems and in photovoltaic systems, which leads to corresponding loss reduction and efficiency increasing of these systems.
A new view on Redox processes in aquatic systems
Authors:   Institutul de Chimie, Republica Moldova, Duca Gheorghe
Published: April 2022

In the present paper, the redox processes in the aquatic environment were studied, by conducting fundamental research and the mechanisms of chemical reactions with the participation of natural oxidizing agents in the presence of transition metals. It is a synthesis of scientific results including a new vision regarding the chemical reactions with one or two electrons transfer, which explains how the free radicals and complex compounds with partial charge transfer are formed. This view includes an explanation for the phenomenon of aggressive free radical generation that “kills” biota, rather than destroying pollutants, and why the intermediate particles resulting from chemical and biochemical processes act much softer.

The efficacy of various diagnostic imaging methods in determining the morphofunctional features of the affected kidney, the characteristics of kidney stones and its complications, as well as the sensitivity and specificity of conventional imaging methods (ultrasonography, simple KUB radiography, intravenous urography), functional (isotopic renography and dynamic renal scintigraphy) and complex (computed tomography and densitometric tomography associated with infrared spectroscopy) were assessed. Comparison of imaging data with the results of macroscopic evaluation of affected kidneys by stones during surgery allowed to specify the diagnostic contribution of each method with determining its influence on the selection of any applied treatment method. The article assesses an analysis of the main aspects related to diagnosis, the selection criteria for medical-surgical treatment, but especially the surgical techniques, selected from case to case, individualized with the introduction and implementation of numerous diagnostic procedures, treatments, prophylaxis, and metaphylaxis, during the years 2010–2021. The current study of kidney stone disease is complex scientific research, with a multilateral character, which is determined by the multitude of the examined aspects.

Authors:   Combinatul de Vinuri „Cricova” S.A., Republica Moldova, Borta Ion
Published: April 2022

The aim of the research was to improve the organoleptic qualities of young red wines ”Primeur” and ”Virgin” based on optimizing the content of phenolic substances and malic acid. The technological process consists in the elimination of approximately 80% of the total seeds contained in wine in alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Limiting the division of phenolic compounds in young dry red wine allowed to decrease the feeling of excess astringency with obtaining a round, velvety taste and typical of this category of wines. The concomitant realization of the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations allowed the decrease of the malic acid content, responsible for the excess in the young dry red wines.

Authors: Anggraeni Ratih
Published: April 2022

ABSTRAK

 

Tiramin adalah turunan tirosin yang merupakan senyawa bogenik amin akibat proses dekarboksilasi. Tiramin merupakan asam amino non-essensial yang banyak terkandung pada makanan dan minuman yang difermentasi. Hipertensi adalah sindroma kardiovaskular progresif yang timbul dari penyebab yang kompleks dan berhubungan. Tanda awal dari sindrom sering timbul sebelum terjadi kenaikan tekanan darah sehingga hipertensi tidak dapat diklasifikasikan hanya berdasarkan ambang batas tekanan darah. Tujuan penelitin ini membahas pengaruh tiramin terhadap penderita hipertensi. Menurut penelitian, tiramin menaikkan tekanan darah dengan mempengaruhi denyut jantung, menambah volume darah dalam sistem vaskular, dan vasokonstriksi perifer. Mengkonsumsi makanan yang mengandung tiramin seperti coklat, keju dan kacang polong diperbolehkan namun dalam batasan makanan yang dibolehkan. Namun jika yang mengkomsumsi tiramin adalah penderita hipertensi, maka tidak dianjurkan karena dapat memperberat penyakitnya. Kesimpulannya adalah pemberian tiramin pada penderita hipertensi dapat menyebabkan vasokonstriksi pembuluh darah sehingga aliran darah berkurang dan menyebabkan kenaikan tekanan darah.
