A novel risk analysis approach for occupational safety using Bayesian Network and interval type-2 fuzzy sets: the case of underground mining
Authors: Yaşlı Fatma , Bolat Bersam
Published: July 2021

Occupational safety problems are no longer acceptable for any industrial environment. Lack of comprehensive and reliable evaluations for occupational safety causes many undesired events and harm to employees during the industrial process. In this study, it is aimed to develop an applicable risk analysis methodology for evaluating the undesired occupational events that occurred in the multi-process system where no historical accident records. The difficulty in obtaining and analyzing the data required for the determination of the occupational safety risks especially in the manually executed processes has been overcome with the Bayesian Network and interval type-2 fuzzy sets by using the expert judgments. While BN enables to development of a comprehensive reasoning approach about the occurrence of the events, interval type-2 fuzzy sets better represent the ambiguity in the judgments by covering the uncertainty in a wider mathematical range with less computational effort according to other fuzzy sets. During multi-processes in industrial activity, various occupational undesired events may occur, including rare events with very serious consequences or frequent events with very low severity consequences. To able to consider all kinds of events occurring in an industrial environment from a holistic risk perspective, a novel fuzzy scale for specifying the probability and consequence of the events are proposed by the interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. Therefore, all undesired events regardless the probability and consequence which may occur during the multi-processes in a system and the main root causes of these events can be observed within the proposed methodology. A case study is used to emphasize the effect of the proposed methodology for risk analysis of occupational safety in underground mining. The results have indicated that occupational safety education is the most contributing factor to occurring the undesired occupational events in underground mining. We believe that this study could help evaluate the safety risk of the multi-process systems comprehensively and holistically and proposing strategic planning for mitigating the occupational safety risks.

Published: July 2021

The REGIME method is an easy to understand techniques which is based on pairwise comparisons and which can use qualitative data for decision making problems. The steps of the technique are simple and can be easily adopted to complex decision problems. Classical REGIME techniques use crisp numbers to evaluate qualitative evaluations. In this paper we propose Pythagorean Fuzzy REGIME (PF-REGIME) techniques which integrates Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets with REGIME technique. The proposed PF-REGIME is applied to waste disposal site selection problem. The decision model is constructed for three alternatives and five criteria in order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed PF-REGIME method.

Published: July 2021

In today’s competitive business environment, companies are striving to reduce costs and workload of call centers while improving customer satisfaction. In this study, a framework is presented that predicts and encourages taking proactive actions to solve customer problems before they lead to a call to the call center. Machine learning techniques are implemented and models are trained with a dataset which is collected from an internet service provider’s systems in order to detect internet connection problems of the customers proactively. Firstly, two classification techniques which are multi perceptron neural networks and radial basis neural networks are applied as supervised techniques to classify whether the internet connection of customers is problematic or not. Then, by using unsupervised techniques, namely Kohonnen’s neural networks and Adaptive Resonance Theory neural networks, the same data set is clustered and the clusters are used for the customer problem prediction. The methods are then integrated with an ensemble technique bagging. Each method is implemented with bagging in order to obtain improvement on the estimation error and variation of the accuracy. Finally, the results of the methods applied for classification and clustering with and without bagging are evaluated with performance measures such as recall, accuracy and Davies-Bouldin index, respectively.
A novel approach to assess occupational risks and prevention of hazards: the house of safety & prevention
Authors: Cinar Ulas , Cebi Selcuk
Published: July 2021

Risk management is the key factor to obtain safety in the working environment and its effectiveness increases with accuracy assessment and robust analysis. However, it is hard to succeed because of uncertainties in the working environment. Therefore, there are a lot of risk assessment methods in the literature to assess occupational health and safety risks. The traditional risk assessment methods handle each activity in the working environment separately and they do not consider the interactions among them. Furthermore, in these methods, potential outcomes of the risk parameters are considered based on the most possible outcome although there may be more than one potential outcome. Differ from the traditional methods, The House of Safety method has been proposed to consider all potential outcomes and handle the interactions among the activities. In this study, an extension of The House of Safety is proposed to consider interactions among potential risks and to determine the most effective prevention method based on the potential risks. Hence, this extension provides an evaluation of the whole system. The proposed model has been developed by integrating Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP), and DEMATEL into Quality Function Deployment (QFD). In this direction, FIS is used to determine activity-related probabilities, “FAHP” is utilized to identify all possible damage potentials of risks, and the DEMATEL is used to clarify interactions among risks. Finally, all information produced by these methods were aggregated to obtain total risk scores by using QFD. In addition, a second home has been created to link prevention and risks. Therefore, an effective prevention plan has been made to eliminate priority risks with all effective parameters. This stage provides the opportunity for optimum prevention plan against risk or risk groups dominating the system at the same time. In this study, unlike traditional methods including a partial risk assessment perspective, an integrated method that takes into account the risks on their own and the interactions between them is proposed in the literature, and the proposed approach has been applied to an open pit mine.
Selection of an alternative based on interval-valued hesitant picture fuzzy sets
Authors: Rashid Tabasam , Sarwar Sindhu M.
Published: July 2021

Motivated by interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets (IVHFSs) and picture fuzzy sets (PcFSs), a notion of interval-valued hesitant picture fuzzy sets (IVHPcFSs) is presented in this article. The concept of IVHPcFSs is put forward and some operational rules are developed to deal with it. The cosine similarity measures (SMs) are modified for IVHPcFSs to deal with interval-valued hesitant picture fuzzy (IVHPcF) data and the linear programming (LP) methodology is used to find out the criteria’s weights. A multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) approach is then developed to tackle the vague and ambiguous information involved in MCDM problems under the framework of IVHPcFSs. For the validation and strengthen of the proposed MCDM approach a practical example is put forward to select the educational expert at the end.
Female Outperformance in Voluntary Running Persists in Dystrophin-Null and Klotho-Overexpressing Mice
Authors: Phelps Michael , Yablonka-Reuveni Zipora
Published: July 2021

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a degenerative muscle disease that results from impairment of the dystrophin gene. The disease causes progressive loss in muscle mass and function. Objective: The anti-aging protein, α-klotho, has been implicated in the regulation of muscle regeneration. We previously discovered that mice harboring reduced α-klotho levels exhibited a decline in muscle strength and running endurance. Method: To investigate the ability of α-klotho to improve overall endurance in a dystrophin null murine model, we examined the voluntary wheel running performance of dystrophin-null, mdx4cv mice overexpressing an α-klotho transgene. Results: As expected, compared to wild type, both male and female dystrophic mice exhibited reduced running ability that was characterized by shorter running duration and longer periods of rest between cycles of activity. While our results did not detect an improvement in running performance with α-klotho overexpression, we identified distinct differences in the running patterns between females and males from all mouse strains analyzed (i.e., mdx4cv, mdx4cv overexpressing α-klotho, α-klotho overexpressing, α-klotho hypomorph, and wild type). For all strains, male mice displayed significantly reduced voluntary running ability compared to females. Further analysis of the mdx4cv strains demonstrated that male mice ran for shorter lengths of time and took longer breaks. However, we did not identify gender-associated differences in the actual speed at which mdx4cv mice ran. Conclusion: Our data suggest key differences in the running capabilities of female and male mice, which are of particular relevance to studies of dystrophin-null mice.

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is marked clinically by motor symptoms and pathologically by Lewy bodies and dopamine neuron loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Higher iron accumulation, assessed by susceptibility MRI, also is observed as PD progresses. Recently, evidence has suggested that PD affects the retina. Objective: To better understand retinal alterations in PD and their association to clinical and SNc iron-related imaging metrics. Methods: Ten PD and 12 control participants (2 eyes each) from an ongoing PD imaging biomarker study underwent enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography evaluation. Choroidal (vascular) thickness and nerve layers were measured in 4 subregions [superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal] and at 3 foveal distances (1, 1.5, and 3 mm). These metrics were compared between PD and control groups. For significantly different metrics, their associations with clinical [levodopa equivalent daily dosage (LEDD), motor and visuospatial function] and SNc susceptibility MRI metrics [R2* and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM)] were explored. Results: Compared to control participants, PD participants had a thicker choroid (p = 0.005), but no changes in nerve layers. Higher mean choroidal thickness was associated with lower LEDD (p < 0.01) and better visuospatial function (p < 0.05). Subregion analyses revealed higher choroidal thickness correlated with lower LEDD and better motor and visuospatial measures. Higher mean choroidal thickness also was associated with lower nigral iron MRI (p < 0.05). Conclusion: A small cohort of PD research participants displayed higher choroidal thickness that was related to better clinical performance and less nigral pathology. These intriguing findings warrant further investigation.

Published: July 2021

Background: Olfactory or autonomic dysfunction is one of the earliest prodromal symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). It has not been investigated whether PD patients have different phenotypes depending on the presence of these prodromal symptoms. Objective: To investigate whether hyposmia-dominant and dysautonomia-dominant patients with early PD have different clinical manifestations and nigrostriatal degeneration. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 168 drug-naive PD patients and 34 control subjects. PD patients were classified as patients without hyposmia and dysautonomia (PD–H–D–, n = 51), hyposmia-dominant patients (PD–H+D–, n = 36), dysautonomia-dominant patients (PD–H–D+, n = 33), and patients with hyposmia and dysautonomia (PD–H+D+, n = 48). We then compared the baseline clinical characteristics, striatal specific to non-specific binding ratio (SNBR), neuropsychological performance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms among the groups. Results: The PD–H+D–group had a lower SNBR in the ventral striatum (p = 0.013), a greater asymmetric index of striatal SNBRs, and higher prevalence of apathy (p = 0.021) than the PD–H–D+ group. The PD–H–D+ group had older age at onset (p = 0.043) and a higher prevalence of REM sleep behavior disorder (p = 0.041) than the PD–H+D–group. The PD–H+D+ group had higher motor deficits, lower cognitive function, and lower SNBRs in all striatal subregions than the PD–H–D–group. Decreased SNBRs in the anterior caudate, posterior caudate, and ventral striatum were associated with the presence of apathy. Conclusion: The present study suggests that hyposmia-dominant and dysautonomia-dominant PD have different clinical characteristics and patterns of striatal dopamine depletion.
Five-mode quasilinear model of nonlinear dynamics of extended system
Authors: Lebid Oleksii G.
Published: July 2021

Distributed systems are widely used in practice. These are cosmic ligaments in the near-Earth space with a length of tens of kilometers. They approximate reinforced concrete piles in the soil when calculating the stress-strain state and assessing the technical condition; pipelines both in air and in liquid, underwater towed systems. Known underwater airlift systems of great length for the extraction of minerals (nodules) from the ocean floor with a length of 5-10 km. To solve the problems of the dynamics of such systems in various environments, the well-known mathematical models are not quite correct from the point of view of taking into account the variety of wave processes. It determines the need to build refined wave models. A new quasilinear mathematical model, which describes the nonlinear four-mode dynamics of the distributed system in the spatially inhomogeneous field of mass and surface forces, has been obtained. It is described by a nonlinear system of twelve first-order partial differential equations. For it, the principles of ultimate and hyperbolicity are fulfilled. Together with the boundary and initial conditions, it can be used to describe dynamics and statics of geometrically and physically nonlinear rod elements, piles in the ground, crane equipment ropes, mine lifts, aerial cableways, towed systems in liquid and gas flow, etc. For two-mode spatial reduction of the model, the theorem about correctness of Cauchy problem has been considered. As a result of the calculations, the earlier assumptions about the movement of the cable along its initial configuration were changed as the length of the cable changed. It has been found out that this assumption is only true for the initial transition participant. It is also established that at a given tachogram in the configuration of the towed line, there is a point of inflection, which shifts from top to bottom when lifting it. It can be a factor in the looping, contributing to the breakage of the cable system during towing.

Authors: Trysnyuk Taras V.
Published: July 2021

The mobile environmental monitoring system is aimed at increasing the processing speed of measurement analyzes and increasing the scale of the study. The algorithm of analysis and modeling of extreme floods includes: construction of a series of hydrographic maps of the largest floods and graphs of characteristic water levels, assessment of the peculiarities of floods, formation of a database on channel morphometry and the state of flood objects. An important role is given to the assessment and forecast of the state of the Dniester and anthropogenic impacts on it in connection with such indicators as morbidity and control of pollution caused by flooding. Man-caused ecological safety of use of hydro resources and hydroecosystems in general should be based on the hydroecosystem concept of balanced nature use. GIS technologies (ArcView GIS 3.2a) were used to directly implement the tasks of estimating the time of penetration of pollutants into groundwater. The evaluation of the protective properties of the rocks of the aeration zone was performed by creating a spatial model to determine the relationship between objects using the module Georgesessig ArcGIS. Survey materials allow you to create 3D terrain models with an accuracy of 15–20 cm and aerial mosaics at a scale of 1: 1,000 – 1: 5,000.
Prospects for new sites of wooly rhinoceros and mammoths on the territory of paleontological site in Starunia, Carpathian region

Published: July 2021

An international geopark “Park of the Ice Age” located near the Starunia village in Bohorodchany district of Ivano-Frankivsk region is world-famous for being a paleontological site of Pleistocene fauna of the woolly rhinoceroses and mammoth (the Eemian interglacial period, 46–10 000 years ago according to radiocarbon dating C14) and for its mud volcano which is unique in the Carpathian region. This is a geological nature monument with an area of 60 hectares where abandoned ozokerite mine and oil and gas exploratory boreholes are presented. The detailed investigations carried out in the years 2004–2009 by Ukrainian-Polish expeditions were focused on discoveries of possible new sites of fauna fossils and human remains of European early modem humans (EEMH).The future discoveries at the paleontological site of Starunia are extremely important. They intend to carry out ecological assessment of soil, surface and stream waters, atmospheric air, snow, ashes of meadow grasses, radiological screening, and geo-radar sensing to find new locations of extinct mammals. The Starunia area meets all the requirements of a geopark according to UNESCO standards and concepts. The first research findings (1907) are connected with the remains of woolly rhinoceros, mammoth, horse, roe deer and other Pleistocene mammals which had been found in the ozokerite mine at the depth of 12 m near Starunia (Bohorodchany district, Ivano-Frankivsk region). In 1914 the scientists from Lviv (Ukraine) and Krakow (Poland) fully appreciated these discoveries and published a set of articles and a monograph. In 1929 the members of the expedition of Skill Academy (Krakow, Poland) found the remains of three more woolly rhinoceroses in the ozokerite mine at the depth of 17 m. Numerous bones of vertebrates (rodents), remains of mussels, a lot of species of insects, beetles, parasitic worms, fleas, butterflies, spiders, snails, vascular plants, mosses, seeds and branches of dwarf birch (Betula Nana), alder (Alnus glutinosa), and other fossil of tundra flora were also discovered. Polish scientists organized detailed investigations of flora and fauna around Starunia, their results were published in articles but the World War II suspended this process. The investigations around Starunia intensified the comprehensive study of stratigraphy, paleontology, paleogeography, geochronology and other aspects of the Quaternary Period. In 1932 there was established the International Geological Congress (the International Union of Quaternary Study) by INQUA in Leningrad. The main methodological principals of this study dealt with the investigations around Starunia.
Assessment of spent batteries streams in Ukraine
Authors: Ishchenko Vitalii
Published: July 2021

The goal of this study is the analysis of quantitative parameters and dynamics of spent batteries generation in Ukraine and mass balance assessment of their streams. The assessment used statistical data from international trade organizations and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine on the number of produced, imported, exported batteries, and spent batteries generated. Analysis of statistics on spent batteries generation in the world shows a significant difference in quantity, which is due to different ways of spent batteries management and approaches to counting. The estimated mass of batteries sold in Ukraine is about 20 thousand tons per year. The weight of household batteries (excluding car batteries) is estimated as 4.5-7 thousand tons per year (110-170 grams per year per person) and corresponds to the data of some EU countries. Among household batteries, alkaline and lithium-ion batteries are the most common. Study of batteries quantity in the waste has shown a significant data divergence between the expected mass of batteries in the waste and official statistics. This is probably due to the low efficiency of the waste accounting system. In recent years, there is a trend of reducing the mass of batteries placed on the market and reducing their share in the waste (but such trends are not a case for household batteries). According to unofficial data, the weight of the collected spent household batteries is 2-3 tons per year or 0,05-0,08 grams per year per 1 person. The level of spent batteries collection (including car batteries) is estimated at 19%, and household batteries – only 0.1% that is much lower than in the EU countries. About 75–80% of spent batteries (99% of spent household batteries) are not accounted in waste streams. Besides, batteries in the waste of electrical and electronic equipment remain unaccounted.The scientific novelty of the study is the development of mass balance of spent batteries in Ukraine, which will ensure more efficient management of their flows. The practical value of the paper includes assessment of spent batteries volume in Ukraine for further analysis of the possibilities of their recycling.

Authors: Christiana
Published: July 2021

Pengakuan dan perlindungan masyarakat adat telah tertera dalam berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan, namun secara implisit tidak mengatur bentuk hak-hak tradisional maupun unsur-unsur masyarakat adat. Eksistensi hak masyarakat adat Niowula Kabupaten Ende semakin tergerus oleh berbagai kebijakan pemerintah yang merampas eksistensi hak masyarakat adat disekitar Taman Nasional Kelimutu (TNK). akibat adanya penetapan zonasi khusus kawasan konservasi yang mengorbankan wilayah/lahan garapan (pertanian dan perkebunan kopi seluas kurang lebih 35 Ha) milik masyarakat hukum adat Desa Niowula Kecamatan Detusoko yang keberadaannya sudah lama sebelum adanya Taman Nasional Kelimutu. Pemerintah dalam hal ini Taman Nasional Kelimutu cenderung menggunakan dan menegakkan hukum negara dengan mengatasnamakan kepentingan pembangunan nasional, sedangkan di pihak lain masyarakat adat yang seharusnya menguasai dan berhak mengelola sumber daya alam di wilayah mereka sendiri sebagai mata pencaharian dan sumber perekonomian diabaikan.Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah Peraturan hukum apa saja yang dapat dijadikan dasar masyarakat dalam mengelola kawasan konservasi (TNK) Kabupaten Ende. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, adalah penelitian hukum normatif,dengan pendekatan “pendekatan ketatanegaraan” (statute approach).Hasil penelitian terjadi konflik antara Masyarakat adat Niowula Kabupaten Ende dengan (TNK) berkaitan dengan penetapan zonasi kawasan konservasi yang mengorbankan lahan garapan seluas kurang lebih 35 Ha milik masyarakat adat Desa Niowula Kecamatan Detusoko. Sementara Putusan MK 35/PUU-X/2012, telah merubah status dan kedudukan hukum hutan adat, dari yang awalnya “hutan adat adalah hutan negara menjadi “hutan adat adalah hutan yang berada dalam wilayah masyarakat hukum adat”. Putusan MK tersebut mengembalikan hak masyarakat adat untuk mengelolah hutan adatnya.

Di Indonesia perkebunan kelapa merupakan salah satu mata pencaharian petani kelapa. Hasil kelapa yang dijual kepada perusahaan - perusahaan yang membutuhkan bahan baku dari kelapa untuk mengolah produk nya menjadi bahan jadi, memerlukan penetapan harga standar agar harga jual kelapa tidak mengalami fluktuasi harga yang tidak terkendali. Selain itu, petani kelapa juga akan mengalami kesulitan penjualan kelapa dikarenakan beberapa perusahaan yang membutuhkan bahan produksi dari kelapa tersebut, juga melakukan penanaman perkebunan kelapa sendiri,sehingga jumlah kelapa yang dihasilkan oleh petani kelapa di Indonesia, dikhawatirkan justru lebih banyak dari jumlah kebutuhan perusahaan pengolahan produk jadi dari bahan industry kelapa tersebut,hal ini juga tentu menjadi factor penentu harga jual kelapa. Guna menghindari terjadinya praktek monopoli dan persaingan usaha tidak sehat terhadap petani kelapa di Indonesia, maka dibutuhkan regulasi dan kebijakan dari pemerintah untuk memberikan perlindungan hukum terhadap petani kelapa.

Published: July 2021

The modern world economic system is undergoing another period of transformation. Globalization and increasing interdependence, which were relevant at the beginning of the twenty-first century, have played a significant role. However, at this stage, the main trends of world economic development are: the process of rapid reformatting, if not the destruction of the system of global economic regulation, which is based on the mechanisms of the World Trade Organization formed over decades; increased competition between the world's leading centers of economic development, up to the trade wars between the United States and China; a radical shift in the center of economic activity towards developing countries and markets; a new trade and economic redistribution of the world on the basis of regional associations and preferential trade zones; the accelerated spread and economic impact of technology, especially the digitalization of the economy.

The ideas of Alash are the spiritual value of the Kazakh people, which determine the development priorities of our state and historical policy. The formation of the USSR and the subsequent totalitarian vector of development conditioned the persecution and exilement of the Alash national intelligentsia. As the result of the repressive policy the majority of the best sons of Kazakh nation were arrested, shot, exiled to camps and forced to flee abroad. There in a foreign land, including in the territory of Xinjiang in China, they continued to spread the progressive ideas of Alash. The authors believe that the ideas of Alash played a role in the creation of the independent Republic of East Turkestan, which existed for five years (1944-1949). The authors examine in the prism of historical events the evolution of Alash ideas since the emergence of its leaders on the territory of East Turkestan, as well as the impact of Alash ideology on the scale of the national liberation struggle. The content of the article demonstrates the main publicity channels which played a particular role in the spread of the Alash idea. Firstly, it is the information obtained from Kazakh, Saryarka newspapers and letters from Aykap magazine. Secondly, these were the Alash emigrants themselves, who were active in spreading the idea of independence in the emigrant community. Third are the new generation, the followers of Alash, who grew up on Alash ideology, poets and writers. The authors show that, as a result of the ideology created by the PRC in 1949, all non-ethnic dissent was banished.

The article examines health-improving campaigns in the Kazakh SSR in 1941-1945. The purpose of this article is to study and analyze health campaigns for children of the Karaganda region during school holidays during the Great Patriotic War, as well as their impact on the health of children in difficult wartime conditions. The authors enter into scientific circulation the data of the State Archives of the Karaganda Region, the Archives of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the State Archives of the Russian Federation. Tables are given on health-improving campaigns in the Kazakh SSR, an analysis is given of the types of health improvement of children in the republic, planned and implemented in fact, as well as an analysis of the reasons for under-fulfillment or over-fulfillment of the plan in the regions of the republic. The novelty of this research is that the authors turn to the regional aspect of the history of children’s everyday life during the Great Patriotic War. To date, there are no special studies on this issue, showing the importance of campaigns to improve the health of children during the winter and summer holidays. In addition to improving the health of children, the importance of these campaigns to prevent neglect in the children’s environment during the vacation time is emphasized, since the parents of most children were at work from morning to evening and did not have the physical opportunity to organize their children’s leisure time. Despite the fact that during the war years there were financial, material and technical, personnel difficulties, the country’s leadership understood that taking care of the health of young citizens those days was the key to success and stability in the future and took measures to improve the health of children ... One of those measures was health campaigns, which included such activities as the work of pioneer camps, recreation sites, sanatorium-type camps, paramilitary camps, transportation to summer cottages, enhanced nutrition, in which schoolchildren, inmates of orphanages, baby homes, children attending nurseries and kindergartens spent time. Nevertheless, despite all the difficulties and shortcomings of the organizational aspects, health-improving campaigns yielded positive results in improving the health of Soviet children during the Great Patriotic War.

Mitral stenosis (MS) is the most common valvular heart disease encountered in developing countries. The cause of MS is almost always chronic rheumatic heart disease. Echocardiography is the single most important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of MS. The objectives are to confirm the etiology, to assess the severity of stenosis, to recommend the type and timing of intervention, to assess other valvular lesions, presence of thrombus, and vegetation. According to current guidelines and recommendations for clinical practice, the severity of MS should not be defined by a single value but rather be assessed by a multimodality approach that determines valve areas, mean Doppler gradients, and pulmonary arterial pressures. The European Society of Echocardiography/American Society of Echocardiography (EAE/ASE) recommendations of measurement method for clinical practice were categorized into three level of recommendations. Mitral valve area (MVA) can be assessed by planimetry using either 2D or 3D imaging, pressure half-time (PTH), the continuity equation, and the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method. These result echocardiographic examinations can increase the accuracy and appropriate management with a good prognosis.
