Published: October 2021

There is no doubt that agism is an important topic of study, especially in academic circles, as we aim to build towards a more inclusive and equitable environment for those whom we benefit. In the succeeding annotated bibliography, a list of resources that can aid in the teaching of aging to undergraduates, particularly, although not exclusively, in the context of general education or humanities coursework, and specifically, in the discipline of composition studies is put forward. These resources include content on why agism is important as a topic, its importance in the university classroom, and ideas as to how this can be done most effectively. To achieve this, this annotated bibliography draws from evidence in research related to gerontology, educational psychology, and social justice pedagogy, amongst other areas. It is hoped that this paper can serve as a guide to academics interested in educating and empowering their students to become more aware of this major form of discrimination

Legal certainty in land ownership is proof of physical and non-physical ownership of land rights. The ownership of the certificate does not merely fulfill administrative requirements, and only formal evidence. The certificate as a proof of rights that acts as a strong proof of physical data and juridical data contained in it, as long as the physical data and juridical data are in accordance with the data in the relevant land certificate and land book. In general, the amount of land owned by the people of Prasung Village, Buduran District, Sidoarjo Regency, both for agriculture and for settlements is still not certified. Legal counseling on land registration is very important because the natural potential and the development of such a large industry will be even more optimal if the community land is certified. This legal education is very necessary to be made so that people become aware of the importance of ownership of land certificates especially the use of land in the village of Prasung is partly used for tourist areas, plantation land, agriculture, settlements and public facilities.

Published: October 2021

Abstract

The rule of law and democracy carries the consequence that the actions of the government in administering the government system must be in accordance with or limited to laws and regulations and include the community as well as in the village government system. Democracy is manifested in the implementation of village head elections. Election of Village Heads is different from general elections (in general) this is seen from several things. In addition there is the dynamics of legislation related to the election of village heads so the government and the community are bound and obey the laws and regulations. Therefore it is important if the village government and the village community understand the regulation, so socialization is needed so that the same understanding occurs. Likewise with the election of village heads inVillage Prasung, Buduran District, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java Province should be in accordance with the laws and regulations that have been enacted.  However, there is a dispute related to the statutory provisions governing the election of village heads, namely the prohibition of candidates who are sentenced to imprisonment based on a court decision that has the legal force fixed for a minimum of 5 (five) years or more to nominate as a candidate for village head. However, there are exceptions when completed and announced in connection with the conviction. Therefore, there are several results of the analysis that then arise, among others, it is correct that the organizer of the election of the village head if the implementation of compliance with applicable regulations, there is less explicit meaning of the exclusion in the terms of the prohibition of the convicted or after serving a crime.

A Co-optimization PSO for Fuzzy Rule-Based Classifier Design Problem Based on Enlarged Hedge Algebras
Authors: Nguyen Du Duc , Pham Phong Dinh
Published: October 2021

Fuzzy Rule-Based Classifier (FRBC) design problem has been widely studied due to many practical applications. Hedge Algebras based Classifier Design Methods (HACDMs) are the outstanding and effective approaches because these approaches based on a mathematical formal formalism allowing the fuzzy sets based computational semantics generated from their inherent qualitative semantics of linguistic terms. HACDMs include two phase optimization process. The first phase is to optimize the semantic parameter values by applying an optimization algorithm. Then, in the second phase, the optimal fuzzy rule based system for FRBC is extracted based on the optimal semantic parameter values provided by the first phase. The performance of FRBC design methods depends on the quality of the applied optimization algorithms. This paper presents our proposed co-optimization Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for designing FRBC with trapezoidal fuzzy sets based computational semantics generated by Enlarged Hedge Algebras (EHAs). The results of experiments executed over 23 real world datasets have shown that Enlarged Hedge Algebras based classifier with our proposed co-optimization PSO algorithm outperforms the existing classifiers which are designed based on Enlarged Hedge Algebras methodology with two phase optimization process and the existing fuzzy set theory based classifiers.

Socio-economic relations are one of the key elements of a market economy, since any production process requires the involvement of employees. In this case, the main element is wages as the source of income and a means of motivating people, stimulating their interest in the results of work. However, if hired workers primarily strive to increase the amount of income received in the form of wages, then employers – to reduce labor costs per unit of production, since for an enterprise labor remuneration is an item of expenditure and has a direct impact on the final financial result of activities. The purpose of the article is to deepen the content of the accounting and economic category “wages” and disclose the transformation of its functions in modern conditions. It was revealed that the low level of wages does not contribute to the reproduction of labor resources and is one of the reasons for the outflow of personnel from the country, that is, the deterioration of its labor potential. With the transition of Ukraine to an innovative way of development, there was an awareness of the decisive role of the mental and creative abilities of workers in the final results of activities. To attract highly skilled and experienced wage earners it is necessary to create the appropriate conditions: to provide the appropriate level of salary, which must correspond to the effectiveness of their work. The main approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the accounting and economic category “wages”, presented in the normative legal acts, and also proposed by representatives of various schools of economic thought, have been investigated. It was found that wages is a complex concept that requires consideration from the point of view of various subjects of the economic system, since it affects the interests of each of them.

In Ukraine, the key condition for solving the problem of a non-inflationary increase in the level of economy monetization is the development of financial intermediaries capable of redistributing cash flows to investments. The purpose of the article is to develop a methodology for studying the influence of the level of economy monetization and the structure of the money supply on the lending activity of banks and, on this basis, to develop recommendations for the financial support of the agricultural sector of the economy. The article examines the following indicators of the structure and quality of the money supply in the economy: the level of economy monetization, the share of various aggregates in the money supply, the money multiplier and factors affecting them. The authors' attention is focused on the need for scientific substantiation of the economy's need for money and the management of the structure of the money supply to achieve the goals of state monetary policy. The role of state monetary policy in creating conditions for the resumption of growth in the agricultural sector was revealed. The analysis of macroeconomic indicators was carried out and the assessment of the impact of key factors on the state of the agricultural sector and the economy as a whole was carried out. The assessment of the level of monetization of the Ukrainian economy was carried out. The reasons for the low level of monetization of the Ukrainian economy were revealed and the ways to overcome it were formulated. Based on a critical analysis of various positions, it is shown what a balanced monetary policy should be in Ukraine. It has been proved that a significant decrease in the discount rate and an excessive increase in the money supply lead to an increase in inflation, an increase in risks in the financial sector and a destabilization of the situation in the agricultural sector, as well as in the economy as a whole. The relationship between the emission mechanism and the policy of stimulating the growth of the agricultural sector has been determined. The role of the main institutional elements of state monetary policy in enhancing the progressive development of the Ukrainian economy was revealed. Recommendations for improving the state regulation of the monetary sphere were given.

Especially relevant at the present time is the study of the impact of the global crisis – a pandemic caused by the infection COVID-19 on the countries and the world's sustainable development. The consequences of the popular trend of globalization, a certain closedness of the principles of capitalization, and, of course, the impact of the global crisis caused by COVID-19 were investigated in the scientific work. The study aims to confirm the transformation of sustainable development trends and the transition from worldwide globalization to national capitalization of the agricultural entrepreneurship potential in the modern conditions of the global crisis of Covid-19. The goal will be achieved by tasks through accounting and analytical support and mathematical analysis of the quadratic correlation and regression dependence of the integrated indicator of sustainable development. Research methodology consist of analysis and collection of economic, environmental, and social data of agriculture in European countries. At this stage, the most significant indicators of six countries were selected: Ukraine, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Poland and Belarus. Index analysis was used for formation of an integral indicator – a sustainable development index. Also Microsoft Excel tools were used. An index analysis of the main indicators of sustainable development is provided in the paper. On the basis of the integrated index of sustainable development of agriculture, a trend line was built and a forecast of the vector of globalization/capitalization was made. An upward forecast of the integrated index of agriculture sustainable development, which indicates a continuous process of globalization was proved in the paper. This pattern corresponds to Belarus and Romania and was proved by the basis of imperial studies. The calculation and forecast of the transition from global globalization to national capitalization as a result of the impact of the pandemic and quarantine were presented in the scientific work too. This pattern is inherent in Hungary, Germany, Poland and Ukraine.

Published: October 2021

Purpose: The study explored the relationship between supportive supervision and empathic behavior and the indirect effect of occupational self-efficacy (OSE) among healthcare professionals in public hospitals in Delta State, Nigeria. Design/Methodology: The study is a quantitative cross-sectional survey, and the correlational design was adopted. Through convenience and systematic sampling, data were obtained from 127 healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) from public hospitals. The sample consisted of 127 healthcare professionals with a mean age of 33.91 (SD, 5.64). Regression analysis via Model 4 of Hayes' PROCESS Macro was used to analyze the direct and indirect effect model with the help of the IBM-SPSS version 23. Findings: The study's findings indicated that supportive supervision and OSE positively and significantly predicted empathic behavior among healthcare professionals. The results further indicated that OSE mediated the relationship between supportive supervision and empathic behavior. Practical Implications: Based on the research findings, it is recommended that public healthcare administrators and managers should ensure that employees who handle direct patient care in public hospitals receive enough training in enhancing their skills, professional development and provided with enough supportive supervision in the workplace to foster empathic concern for their patients. Originality/Value: The research findings enhance and add new knowledge to the empathic behavior literature by investigating supportive supervision and OSE as predictors and checking for the mediating role of OSE.

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare, systemic, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis neoplasm, which is characterized by the infiltration of CD63+ CD1a- histiocytes in multiple tissues. The BRAFV600E mutation is frequently present in individuals with ECD and has been detected in hematopoietic stem cells and immune cells from the myeloid and systemic compartments. Immune cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines are present in lesions, suggesting that ECD involves immune cell recruitment. Although a systemic cytokine T-helper-1-oriented signature has been reported in ECD, the immune cell network orchestrating the immune response in ECD has yet to be described. To address this issue, the phenotypes of circulating leukocytes were investigated in a large, single-center cohort of 78 patients with ECD and compared with those of a group of 21 control individuals. Major perturbations in the abundance of systemic immune cells were detected in patients with ECD, with decreases in circulating plasmacytoid, myeloid 1, and myeloid 2 dendritic cells, mostly in BRAFV600E carriers, in comparison with individuals in the control group. Similarly, marked decreases in blood Thelper, cytotoxic, and B-lymphocyte numbers were observed in patients with ECD, relative to the control group. Measurement of circulating immunoglobulin concentrations revealed an immunoglobulin G switch, from IgG1 to IgG4 subclasses, which are more frequently associated with the BRAF mutation. First-line therapies, including pegylated interferon-a and vemurafenib, were able to correct most of these alterations. This study reveals a profound disturbance in the systemic immune phenotype in patients with ECD, providing important new information, helping to understand the physiopathological mechanisms involved in this rare disease and improving the therapeutic management of patients.

Renal impairment (RI) is common in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and new therapies that can improve renal function are needed. The phase III IKEMA study (clinicaltrials gov. Identifier: NCT03275285) investigated isatuximab (Isa) with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) versus Kd in relapsed MM. This subgroup analysis examined results from patients with RI, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m². Addition of Isa prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with RI (hazard ratio: 0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.11–0.66; median PFS not reached for Isa-Kd versus 13.4 months for Kd [20.8-month follow-up]). Complete renal responses occurred more frequently with Isa-Kd (52.0%) versus Kd (30.8%) and were durable in 32.0% versus 7.7% of patients, respectively. Treatment exposure was longer with Isa-Kd, with median number of started cycles and median duration of exposure of 20 versus 9 cycles and 81.0 versus 35.7 weeks for Isa-Kd versus Kd, respectively. Among patients with RI, the incidence of patients with grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events was similar between the two arms (79.1% in Isa-Kd vs. 77.8% in Kd). In summary, the addition of Isa to Kd improved clinical outcomes with a manageable safety profile in patients with RI, consistent with the benefit observed in the overall IKEMA study population.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: The following case report describes the first known case of McLeod Syndrome in a commercial airline pilot. The case describes a 56-yr-old experienced pilot who showed a slow and subtle decline in cognitive function and muscle control in the cockpit. On further examination, the pilot’s erratic behavior and movement along with lab abnormalities pointed toward McLeod Syndrome.

CASE REPORT: The pilot was recommended for evaluation by his fellow crewmembers due to his fidgetiness, clumsiness, and lack of focus during critical portions of flight. The pilot reported having a long-standing history of elevated CK levels. Further lab investigations revealed acanthocytes on blood smear while neurological evaluation detected chorea. The combination of clinical and laboratory features along with genetic test results were all consistent with McLeod Syndrome.

DISCUSSION: The case highlights how subtle behavioral and motor coordination changes can be a warning sign for an underlying progressive neurological disorder that requires further workup and referral.

Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION: Military aeromedical evaluations are common, but specialized neuropsychological norms for aviation personnel are sparse, resulting in a need to rely on norms from the general population. Little has been published regarding aviation subpopulations and how their neuropsychological profiles may differ from general population normative data. This study investigated neuropsychological test results of aeromedical service members to evaluate consistency with general population norms, and to delineate differences between aviation subpopulations.

METHODS: Analyses were conducted on demographic variables and test scores of military aviators (N = 26) and nonaviator crewmembers (N = 36) referred for evaluation due to a clinical problem requiring a waiver for flight status. Performance differences between subsamples were investigated with general linear modeling. Base rates for low scores were described.

RESULTS: Mean test scores in both subsamples were 0 to 1 standard deviation (SD) above the general population’s means, with the largest discrepancies being found on measures of visuospatial ability (crewmembers) and verbal learning (aviators). Modeling revealed a significant difference between aviators and crewmembers on Trail Making Test Part B, after accounting for education. Aviators produced fewer low scores than crewmembers, even when using education adjusted normative data.

DISCUSSION: Results suggest the cognitive profile of aviators is uniquely strong in specific domains, with fewer low scores. The development of aviator-specific norms may enhance sensitivity to cognitive decrements in this population. Future studies might separately assess crewmember roles to further assess cognitive performance standards across specialties.

INTRODUCTION: In the mid-1970s, NASA required a robust training program for physicians responsible for the medical needs of the Shuttle astronauts. Personnel at NASA worked closely with academicians and subject matter experts at Wright State University (WSU) to develop and establish a residency program in aerospace medicine. This academic training program was initiated in 1978 and closed in 2018. The objective of this historical piece is to catalog, for posterity, the impact this training program has had on national and international human spaceflight and aviation.

METHODS: A thorough review of all available historical documents and oral histories provided by contemporaries were reviewed in detail, including a search of every available resident’s thesis and all available historical documents and reports at WSU and NASA Headquarters.

RESULTS: Over the past 40 yr, WSU has graduated 172 individuals with an M.S. degree focused on aerospace medicine, of which 84 were residents. Nearly 50% of these residents have worked closely with NASA. Many others became integrated into academia, the aviation industry, or international space programs.

DISCUSSION: With the growth in interest for government and commercial spaceflight, the field of aerospace medicine is poised to grow. Although it is not well known outside of the Aerospace Medicine community, the legacy of this pioneering, 40-yr civilian-based program is of significant value. If not recorded in an easily locatable and accessible manner, many of the challenges and outcomes from this residency could be lost until future generations have to spend the money, time, and effort to relearn them.

INTRODUCTION: On December 2020 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the emergency use of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. This new vaccine has several side effects that can potentially impair function, which warrants special attention regarding aircrews’ fitness to fly following vaccination.

METHODS: A survey was conducted in the Israeli Air Force (IAF) Aeromedical Center in order to characterize the side effects and their duration following Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine administration to aviators.

RESULTS: The most common side effect was injection site pain. Headache, chills, myalgia, fatigue, and weakness were more common following the second dose administration. The difference is statistically significant. Following the second vaccine, duration of side effects was longer compared to the first vaccine (P-value = 0.002).

CONCLUSION: The IAF Aeromedical center policy for Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine recipients among aircrew members, based on side effects duration and severity, is to temporarily ground from flight duties for 24 and 48 h following the first and the second dose, respectively.

The main purpose of the research work is to identify the prevalence of helminthiasis in private sheep-breeding farms of the Sheki, Zagatala and Oguz districts of the Republic of Azerbaijan. One of the urgent problems is the study of mixed invasions that cause damage to animal husbandry. Based on this, as a result of the investigations, the extensiveness and intensity of helminthiasis in sheep of different age groups were studied as a result of the examinations. Extensiveness of invasion: in Sheki district for moniesiasis — 26.6%, for fascioliasis — 20.8%, for dicroceliosis — 23.3%, in Zagatala district for moniesiasis — 21.6%, for fascioliasis — 15.8%, for dicroceliosis — 17.5%, in Oguz distirct for monieziasis — 30.8%, for fascioliasis — 25.8%, for dicroceliosis — 28.3% were identified during the scatological examinations conducted. Presence the intensity of invasion on average: in the Sheki district with Moniezia expansa — 2–6, Fasciola hepatica — 4–14, Dicrocoelium lanceatum — 7–21, in the Zagatala district with Moniezia expansa — 1–4, Fasciola hepatica — 3–11, Dicrocoelium lanceatum — 5–17, in the Oguz district with Moniezia expansa — 2–7, Fasciola hepatica — 5–18, Dicrocoelium lanceatum — 9–24 specimens were identified when examining during the autopsy.

The article discusses the scientific and methodological principles of systems analytics to improve the management of higher education and determine the mutual influence between statistical data analysis and the systematic approach, based on the research of scientific and educational activities of higher education institutions. The object of research is the information processes in management. The purpose of this work is to determine the mutual influence between the system approach and its scientific and methodological principle of statistical data analysis in the study of information and analytical processes in education management. The scientific method of inquiry is a systematic analysis of information processes in management. Systems analysis has substantiated a problem-solving approach with a joint study of properties systems with element properties and vice versa. The system analysis of information processes in management based on the scientific and methodological principle of data mining offers a qualitatively new way in the implementation of the main functions and tasks of the system approach in determining the impact on the management of higher education (as a whole) and on the indicators of scientific and educational activities of universities (as a subsystem, elements).
