Crosswalk EQ-5D-5L Value Set for Slovenia
Authors: Prevolnik Rupel Valentina , Ogorevc Marko 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Introduction
Due to the availability of the EQ-5D-5L instrument official translation into Slovenian its use is widespread in Slovenia. However, the health profiles obtained in many studies cannot be ascribed their appropriate values as the EQ-5D-5L value set does not yet exist in Slovenia. Our aim was to estimate an interim EQ-5D-5L value set for Slovenia using the crosswalk methodology developed by the EuroQol Group on the basis of the EQ-5D-3L Slovenian TTO value set. Our secondary aim was to compare the interim values obtained with the EQ-5D-3L Slovenian values.

Methods
To obtain a Slovenian interim EQ-5D-5L value set, we applied the crosswalk methodology developed by the EuroQol Group to the Slovenian EQ-5D-3L TTO value set. We examined the differences between values by comparing the mean 3L and 5L value scores and the distribution of values across all respondents.

Results
By definition, 3-level and 5-level versions have the same range (from 1 to −0.495) and a health state coded 22222 in the 3-level version corresponds to 33333 in the 5-level version. While the addition of a “slight” severity level (22222) in the 5-level version has a low informational value, the addition of a “severe” health state (44444) covers larger range of the scale. The 5-level version results in fewer health states being valued below 0 and above 0.8.

Conclusion
The EQ-5D-5L value set, based on the crosswalk methodology, should be used until a value set for the EQ-5D-5L is derived from preferences elicited directly from a representative sample of the Slovenian general population.
Algorithmic Decision-making and the Law
Authors: Brand Dirk 
Published: July 2020

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is reshaping the world we know dramatically and is characterised by a close interaction between the biological, digital and physical spheres. Digital technologies are impacting all facets of our lives and create a series of new opportunities but also various challenges. The Fourth Industrial Revolution does not follow a linear development trajectory, but due to the diverse nature and rapid pace of technological developments, could rather be compared to a series of networks with multiple connecting points. This has caused the development of the law which deals with these concerns to generally be slow and unable to match the pace and scope of technological developments. In the context of public law there are many questions and challenges relating to individual rights, for example the right to privacy, and the role and responsibilities of government relating to policy development and regulation dealing with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The concept of a Rechtsstaat could arguably provide an appropriate legal framework for shaping the ethical framework, normative standards and a value-based governance model for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including for algorithmic decision-making. The public law concept of accountability should be contextualised in order to apply it to algorithmic decision-making. In the data-driven economy of the 21st century the pace and scope of technological developments that impact humanity requires the development of appropriate legal frameworks to reflect and accommodate the needs of society, in particular relating to the recognition of fundamental human rights. It is concluded that a broad set of ethical and legal principles, which can guide the development of international and national legal frameworks to regulate algorithmic decision-making, is needed.

Authors: Balon Barbara , Roszak Marek 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Internal logistics is a key element of a production process as it specifies product quality, timeliness and value of orders. The purpose of the research was to determine the amount of non-compliance in the selected production process caused by internal logistics operations. The analysis covers both the quantity and type of non-compliance as well as the cost of non-compliance. One of the basic quality management tools was used in the research - Parteo-Lorenz analysis. An attempt was made to identify potential causes of non-compliance. The significant impact of non-compliance arising in internal logistics operations in production costs was pointed out.

Polarization of the Cosmic Infrared Background Fluctuations
Authors: Feng Chang , Holder Gilbert 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The cosmic infrared background (CIB) is slightly polarized. Polarization directions of individual galaxies could be aligned with tidal fields around galaxies, resulting in nonzero CIB polarization. We use a linear intrinsic alignment model to theoretically predict angular correlations of the CIB polarization fluctuations and find that electriclike and curl-like (B-mode) polarization modes are equally generated with power four orders of magnitude less than their intensity. The CIB B-mode signal is negligible and not a concerning foreground for the inflationary B-mode searches at nominal frequencies for cosmic microwave background measurements, but could be detected at submillimeter wavelengths by future space missions.
Formulating and Critically Examining the Assumptions of Global 21 cm Signal Analyses: How to Avoid the False Troughs That Can Appear in Single-spectrum Fits
Authors: Tauscher Keith , Rapetti David , Burns Jack O. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The assumptions inherent to global 21 cm signal analyses are rarely delineated. In this paper, we formulate a general list of suppositions underlying a given claimed detection of the global 21 cm signal. Then, we specify the form of these assumptions for two different analyses: (1) the one performed by the team for the Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch-of-Reionization Signature (EDGES) showing an absorption trough in brightness temperature that they modeled separately from the sky foreground and (2) a new, so-called minimum assumption analysis (MAA) that makes the most conservative assumptions possible for the signal. We show fits using the EDGES analysis on various beam-weighted foreground simulations from the EDGES latitude with no signal added. Depending on the beam used, these simulations produce large false troughs because of the invalidity of the foreground model in describing the combination of beam chromaticity and the shape of the Galactic plane in the sky, the residuals of which are captured by the ad hoc flattened Gaussian signal model. On the other hand, the MAA provides robust fits by including many spectra at different time bins and allowing any possible 21 cm spectrum to be modeled exactly. We present uncertainty levels and example signal reconstructions found with the MAA for different numbers of time bins. With enough time bins, one can determine the true 21 cm signal with the MAA to <10 times the noise level.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurobehavioural in the children. Genetic factor is known one of the factors which contributed in ADHD development. VNTR polymorphism in 3’UTR exon 15 of DAT1 gene and exon 3 of DRD4 gene are reported to be associated in ADHD. In this study we examine the association of ADHD with VNTR polymorphism of DAT1 and DRD4 gene in Indonesian children. Sixty-five ADHD children and 70 normal children (6- 13 years of age), were included in the study, we matched by age and gender. ADHD was diagnosed by DSM-IV. We performed a casecontrol study to found the association between ADHD and VNTR polymorphism of DAT1 and DRD4 genes. The 10-repeat allele of DAT1 and 2-repeat allele of DRD4 were higher in Indonesian children. Although the frequency of these allele was higher, but it was similar both in ADHD and control groups. Neither DAT1 nor DRD4 gene showed showed significant difference in genotype distribution and frequency allele between both groups (p > 0.05). No association between ADHD and VNTR polymorphism of DAT1 and DRD4 genes found in Indonesian children. This data suggest that DAT1 and DRD4 do not contribute to etiology of ADHD in Indonesian children. Further studies are needed to clarify association between VNTR polymorphism of DAT1 and DRD4 genetic with ADHD of Indonesian children in larger sample size and family based study.

Authors: Ujah C.O. , Popoola A.P.I. , Ezema I.C. 
Published: July 2020

Lamination of fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) and catalytic curing of unsaturated polyester (UP) resin were the major focus of this study. The polyester resin was cured at ambient temperature with methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) catalyst, cobalt octoate accelerator and phenol inhibitor. This was used to generate model equations that can predict the gel time of polyester resin when curing additives are added. The gelation was obtained by stirring 20 g of catalysed UP resin weighed into a plastic container until the viscosity suddenly increased. Gel times obtained were subjected to regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) so as to obtain the best predictive model. The ANOVA result showed that the gel time (Ti) in terms of inhibitor concentration, Ti = 2820i – 6 was the best predictive equation of the gel time with a degree of accuracy of 98.89%; where i is the inhibitor concentration. In the model, catalyst and accelerator are at constant concentrations of 1% and 0.5%, respectively. The model was validated by laminating pilot components using hand lay-up technique. Thereafter, a laminating template was developed that would aid in reducing material wastes and lengthy down time during FRP lamination. This will be useful in increasing productivity and profitability in FRP small scale industry.

Published: July 2020

Birds are important bio-indicators and provide various ecosystem services including pollination, dispersal, and pest control. However, they are threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation. Study on species diversity, relative abundance, and habitat associations of avifauna were conducted in Tara Gedam Monastery forest patch and associated habitats from July 2016 to April 2017. Stratified random sampling approach was used to classify habitats and select sampling plots based on vegetation type. Consequently, forest, bushland, farmland, and plantation habitats were used for data collection. Point count and line transect methods were used to collect data, and Shannon-Weiner and Simpson’s diversity indices were used to estimate the avian species diversity. One-way ANOVA was conducted to compare avian relative abundance and richness among the different habitat types. A total of 98 species of birds belonging to 14 orders and 41 families were recorded in Tara Gedam Monastery forest and associated habitats. Eighty-seven resident bird species and eleven Palearctic migrants were identified of which seven species are endemic to Ethiopia and Eritrea. The highest avian diversity (H’=4.23) was recorded in the study area during the wet season.The highest species similarity index (SI=0.47) was recorded between forest and bushland habitats during the wet season, while the lowest similarity index (SI=0.07) was found between bush-land and farmland habitats during the dry season. Species richness and relative abundance of bird species varied between the wet and dry seasons. Besides birds, Tara Gedam Monastery forest supports a large number of other wild fauna species, which indicates the area’s potential to support biodiversity. Therefore, there must be a collaborative work between the monastery and different governmental and non-governmental organizations to protect the entire ecosystem in order to conserve the whole biodiversity of the area in general and the avifauna in particular.

Context.—Point-of-care testing allows rapid analysis and short turnaround times. To the best of our knowledge, the present study assesses, for the first time, clinical, operative, and economic outcomes of point-of-care blood gas analysis in a nephrology department.Objective.—To evaluate the impact after implementing blood gas analysis in the nephrology department, considering clinical (differences in blood gas analysis results, critical results), operative (turnaround time, elapsed time between consecutive blood gas analysis, preanalytical errors), and economic (total cost per process) outcomes.Design.—A total amount of 3195 venous blood gas analyses from 688 patients of the nephrology department before and after point-of-care blood gas analyzer installation were included. Blood gas analysis results obtained by ABL90 FLEX PLUS were acquired from the laboratory information system. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS 9.3 software.Results.—During the point-of-care testing period, there was an increase in blood glucose levels and a decrease in pCO2, lactate, and sodium as well as fewer critical values (especially glucose and lactate). The turnaround time and the mean elapsed time were shorter. By the beginning of this period, the number of preanalytical errors increased; however, no statistically significant differences were found during year-long monitoring. Although there was an increase in the total number of blood gas analysis requests, the total cost per process decreased.Conclusions.—The implementation of a point-of-care blood gas analysis in a nephrology department has a positive impact on clinical, operative, and economic terms of patient care.

Published: July 2020

Este artículo se centra en la participación de jóvenes, como dimensión crucial de su ciudadanía, en el contexto educativo, después de casi veinte años del reconocimiento de la juventud como grupo social distinto de los niños, en la Unión Europea. Las y los jóvenes son ahora reconocidos por sus especificidades y derechos como ciudadanas y ciudadanos europeos, con un papel crucial en la construcción de Europa. Argumentamos a favor del ejercicio de la ciudadanía educativa por las y los jóvenes.
Con estos supuestos, ellas e ellos son consultados sobre las razones de su participación en una medida educativa de intervención, en la escuela, y una medida de compensación en un centro de formación/ entrenamiento, en la lucha contra el abandono escolar prematuro. Estas medidas se produjeron en conjunción con las preocupaciones europeas sobre la educación. La investigación se llevó a cabo en el marco del proyecto internacional RESL.eu, en cuatro instituciones muy distintas. La escuela de educación regular científica humanista pertenece a un grupo escolar, desde el jardín de infancia hasta el 12º grado, en un área de intervención prioritaria educativa cubierta por el programa nacional TEIP; y el centro de formación/ entrenamiento es en el campo de la madera y los muebles. Ambas las instituciones están ubicadas en el Norte de Portugal, la primera en una zona urbana y la segunda en una zona industrial.
This article explores the participation of young citizens in educational contexts when almost twenty years have passed since the European Union recognized them as a social group different from children. Young people are now considered to have specificities and rights as European citizens, with a crucial role in the building of Europe. This article argues in favor of the exertion of educational citizenship by young people. Within this framework, young men and women were enquired on the reasons for their participation in an educational intervention measure, in a school, and a compensation measure in a training center, with a view to addressing early school leaving. Biographical interviews were conducted in two distinct longitudinal phases. The measures were designed along the educational lines defined by Europe. The research was carried out within the framework of the international RESL.eu project, in four very different institutions. The school which took part in the research included teaching from kindergarten through to Grade 12, in an area of priority educational intervention covered by the national TEIP program. The training center had to do with the field of wood and furniture. Both institutions are located in the North of Portugal, in an urban and an industrial area, respectively.
