PREDIKTORI STRATEGIJA REŠAVANJA KONFLIKATA SA VRŠNJACIMA U ADOLESCENCIJI: ŠTA SE KRIJE IZA PREFERIRANIH STRATEGIJA?
Authors: Petrovic Jelica 
Published: December 2020

Vršnjački konflikti i način njihovog rešavanja zauzimaju centralno mesto u vršnjačkim odnosima adolescenata. Strategije koje se koriste za rešavanje konflikata značajno oblikuju odnose i ostvaruju važan uticaj na socijalno i emocionalno funkcionisanje adolescenta (Rinaldi&Cheong, 2020; Petrović, 2015).
Predmet ovog istraživanja predstavlja ispitivanje značaja nekih emocionalnih kompetencija (emocionalnog razumevanja, empatije, emocionalne regulacije i prepoznavanju emocija) u predikciji različitih strategija. Uzorak u ovom istraživanju sastojao se od 350 ispitanika prosečnog uzrasta 12 godina, ujednačenog po polu. U cilju ispitivanja značaja i učešća odabranih prediktorskih varijabli u predikciji strategija za rešavanje vršnjačkih konflikata primenjena je multivarijatna analiza kovarijanse (MANCOVA).
Rezultati pokazuju da visoka emocionalna kontrola ima značajnu ulogu u svim strategijama, s tim da je kod agresivnih strategija ta veza negativna. Razumevanje emocija pokazalo se ključnim u strategijama usmerenim na rešavanje problema i asertivnim strategijama. Prepoznavanje emocija na osnovu facijalnih izraza pokazala se kao značajan prediktor jedino kod asertivnih strategija za rešavanje konflikata.Empatija se pokazala kao ključni prediktor strategija usmerenih na rešavanje problema, i strategija traženja socijalne podrške.
Rezultati govore u prilog tezi da emocionalna kompetencija predstavlja važnu odrednicu strategija za rešavanje konflikata.

Published: December 2020

Rastra is one of the social aids organized by Indonesian government to help the poor reduce their burden on the household. However, in 2017 the government amended this polic, called Non-cash food Assistance (BPNT). This new policy was operative based on 5 benchmarks of the alteration in attitudes and the behavior of the public and members of the bureaucracy, the alteration in leadership style, the efficiency of using sources, and the reduction of legalistic approaches. This research was commenced in November 2018 and aimed to analyze the transformation of Rastra Policy into BPNT, especially in Kalisat village, Jember district. The author revealed that this change had aimed to manage the stock of rice and the price because the government shared the aids once a month. The research data was taken from Kalisat village administration office which received the Rastra and each e-Warung organized by BPNT. The present study employed quantitative method. The author argued that, as the endeavour for poverty reduction, this policy needed improvement related to the target, the timing, the quality of the aids, and e-Warung readiness. The author contends that this realignment should be done based on the readiness of each infrastructur.

Abstract
Introduction: Disturbance in the lymphatic drainage during D2 dissection is associated with significant morbidity. We aimed to assess the effect of fibrin glue on reduction of postoperative seroma formation.Methods: Prospective double-blinded randomized clinical trial with forty patients in each study arm was conducted. All patients diagnosed, staged and became candidate for D2 dissection based on NCCN 2019 guideline for gastric cancer. Intervention group received 1 cc of IFABOND® applied to the surgical bed.Results: The difference between study groups regarding age, gender, tumor stage was insignificant. (All p values > 0.05). The median of daily drainage volume was 120 milliliter with the first and the third interquartile being 75 and 210 milliliter, respectively for intervention group. The control group had median, the first and the third interquartile of 350, 290 and 420 milliliter. The difference between daily drainage volumes was statistically significant (p value < 0.001). The length of hospital stay was significantly different between two groups and intervention group were discharged sooner (median of 7 Vs 9 days, p value: 0.001).Conclusion: This study showed possible role of fibrin glue on reducing postoperative seroma formation after gastrectomy and D2 dissection.(IRCT20200710048071N1, 2020.08.16)

Abstract
Background Inconsistent findings have been reported for associations between protein intakes and age at menarche. We aimed to investigate the longitudinal associations between intakes of protein and protein-containing food groups with the occurrence of menarche and early menarche in a cohort of Iranian girls.Methods Girls aged 6–14 years in the third or fourth examination cycles of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study were selected and were followed to the fifth examination cycle. Daily intakes of protein from different animal/plant sources and ten protein-containing food groups were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire collected at baseline. Attaining menarche and age at menarche were asked during each examination cycle. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimating hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) for the occurrence of menarche per one standard deviation (SD) of dietary intakes. Logistic regression was also used to estimate the odds of reaching menarche ≤ 12 years.Results During the study, 147(61%) of girls reached menarche, the median age at menarche was 12 years. The HRs (95% CI) for the occurrence of menarche per one-SD of dietary intakes were 0.68(0.48, 0.98) for plant protein and 1.36(1.01, 1.84) for animal protein after adjusting for confounders. Substituting 10-g animal protein with plant protein was associated with a 16% (95%CI: 5–25%) lower risk of menarche. Dietary intakes of poultry (HR: 1.35; 95%CIs: 1.00-1.82) and low-fat dairy (HR: 1.20; 95%CIs: 0.99–1.46) were marginally associated with the increased risk of occurrence of menarche. However, the odds of early menarche was significant only for plant protein (odds ratio = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.16–0.96).Conclusions Our findings indicate that animal and plant protein intake was positively and negatively associated with the risk of menarche, respectively. Some protein-containing foods such as poultry and low-fat dairy were also related to menarche occurrence, but neither animal protein nor protein-containing food groups were associated with menarche occurrence ≤ 12 years.

Abstract
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance have been of serious concern on human health and the management of bacterial infectious diseases. Effective treatment of these diseases requires the development of novel therapeutics, preferably free of side effects. In this regard, natural products are frequently conceived to be potential alternative sources for novel antibacterial compounds. Herein, we have evaluated the antibacterial activity of the epicarp extracts of the Malaysian cultivar of yellow rambutan fruit (Nephelium lappaceum L.) against six pathogens namely, Bacillus subtilis, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella enterica. Among a series of solvent extracts, fractions of ethyl acetate and acetone have revealed significant activity towards all tested strains. Chemical profiling of these fractions, via HPLC, LC-MS and GC-MS, has generated a library of potential bioactive compounds. Downstream virtual screening, pharmacological prediction, and receptor-ligand molecular dynamics simulation have eventually unveiled novel potential antibacterial compounds, which can be extracted for medicinal use. To this end, we report novel mechanistic aspects of these compounds in competitively inhibiting the ATP-binding domain of the DnaK chaperone of P. aeruginosa and MRSA. Our work takes a step forward to discover antimicrobials capable of perforating the barrier of resistance posed by both the gram positives and the negatives.

Authors: Annobil Isaac , DAKYAGA FRANCIS , Sillim Mavis 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: Although community participation remains a global reckon in services planning, evidence on how rural communities participate in health service delivery has less been explored in Sub-Saharan Africa. Objective: We explored communities’ participation in health care planning in hard-to-reach communities, within the context of Integrated Community Case Management (ICCM), of Ghana. Methods: Qualitative data were collected from eleven (11) hard-to-reach communities through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) as well as district level studies (Nadowli-Kaleo, and WA districts of Ghana). The Rifkin’s spider-gram, framework, of inputs, process and outcome indicators was adapted for the study. The results: Community participation was superficially conducted by the CHOs. A holistic community needs assessment to create awareness, foster common understanding of health situations, collaboration, acceptance and ownership of the program was indiscernible. Rather, it took the form of an event, expert-led-definition, devoid of coherence to calve locals understanding to support the program. Consequently, evidence of resource mobilization, monitoring and system of leaderships towards sustainability of the program were not explicitly found. Conclusion and recommendation: The study concludes that there is the need to expand the concept of community involvement in ICCM to facilitate communities’ contribution to their healthcare. Also, a transdisciplinary approach is required for engineering and scaling up community-based health programs, empowering VHCs, CBHVs and CHAs to realize success.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the impact of student self-directed e-learning on the development of clinical competencies.Methods: The study participants were 3rd year students (n = 43) at a private mid-sized medical school located in a South Korean suburb on a four-year medical program. Educational intervention was implemented to enhance student clinical performance. Students engaged in learning activities that intended to promote their self-directed learning abilities and clinical performances using e-learning resources. Intervention was conducted for the duration of six months during the 3rd year and its effectiveness was investigated by comparing student performances in OSCEs in a pre- and post- comparison format and also by comparing them with national scores. In addition, student perceptions of the impact of e-learning on their OSCE performances were assessed using a questionnaire, which included 36 items that elicited student perceptions of their experiences of e-learning and readiness for e-learning.Results: Student OSCE scores improved significantly after educational intervention in all domains of clinical competencies assessed and for total scores (p < 0.001). Furthermore, students achieved higher OSCE scores than national average scores in the post-test, whereas they had performed lower than national average scores in the pre-test. Students showed neutral or slightly positive responses to the effectiveness of e-learning, and their perceptions of e-learning were not associated with their e-learning readiness scores.Conclusions: The study shows student OSCE performance improved significantly after educational intervention. Our findings indicate the effectiveness of e-learning supporting self-directed learning of clinical performance by medical students. Despite significant improvements in student OSCE scores after e-learning, their perceptions of its effectiveness were neutral. Furthermore, student perceptions of e-learning were not associated with their readiness for e-learning. Suggestions are made to help students use e-learning more effectively to enhance their clinical competencies.

Abstract
Lignosulfonate (LS) is a by-product obtained during sulfite pulping process and is commonly used as a growth enhancer in plant growth. However, the underlying growth promoting mechanism of LS on shoot growth remains largely unknown. Hence, this study was undertaken to determine the potential application of eco-friendly LS chelated ion complex (NaLS and CaLS) to enhance recalcitrant indica rice MR219 shoot growth and to elucidate its underlying growth promoting mechanisms. The NaLS was shown to be a better shoot growth enhancer as compared to CaLS, with optimum concentration of 300 mg/L. Subsequent comparative proteomic analysis revealed an increase of photosynthesis-related proteins and stress regulator proteins abundance in NaLS-treated rice as compared to MSO (control). Consistently, biochemical analyses showed a significant increase of rubisco activity, total chlorophyll, total sugar and total protein contents in NaLS-treated rice, implying NaLS role in empowering photosynthesis activities that led to plant growth enhancement. In addition, low level of peroxidase activity, malondialdehyde content and phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity were also observed in NaLS-treated rice. These results suggest that NaLS plays a role in modulating cellular homeostasis to provide a conducive cellular environment for plant growth. Taken together, NaLS improved shoot growth of recalcitrant MR219 rice by upregulation of photosynthetic activities and reduction of cellular stress leading to better plant growth.

Authors: Sun Xingxing , Du Tingting 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: We aimed to analyze updated prevalence data on abdominal obesity trends among Chinese adults with a normal body mass index (BMI).Methods: We used data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) conducted between 1993 and 2015. Results: Over the 23-year period, the age-standardized mean WC values showed a significant increasing trend among Chinese adults with BMI < 25 kg/m2, with the mean value increased from 73.8 cm to 78.2 cm (P for trend <0.001). During the period of 1993–2015, the age-standardized prevalence of abdominal obesity increased from 11.2% to 24.8% (P for trend <0.001). Significant increases were observed in both sexes, all age groups, rural and urban residents, and all educational attainment groups (all P for trends < 0.001), with a greater relative increase noted among men, younger participants, and rural residents. Similar significant trends were noted when a more stringent BMI < 23 kg/m2 cut point (Asian cut point) was applied.Conclusions: The mean WC and the prevalence of abdominal obesity among Chinese adults with normal BMI increased continuously from 1993 to 2015. The upward trends were noted in both sexes, all age groups, rural and urban regions, and all educational attainment groups.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The field of biodosimetry has seen a paradigm shift towards increased use of molecular phenotyping technologies including omics and miRNA, in addition to conventional cytogenetic techniques. Here, we have used a nonhuman primate (NHP) model to study the impact of gamma-irradiation on alterations in blood-based gene expression. We followed eight NHPs for sixty days after exposure to 6.5 Gy gamma-radiation. Analysis of differential gene expression in response to radiation exposure yielded 26,944 dysregulated genes that were not significantly impacted by sex. Further analysis showed an increased association of several pathways including IL-3 Signaling, Ephrin Receptor Signaling, ErbB Signaling, Nitric Oxide Signaling in the cardiovascular system, Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and inflammasome pathway, which were associated with positive survival outcomes in NHPs after acute exposure to radiation. This study provides novel insights into major pathways and networks involved in radiation-induced injuries that may identify biomarkers for radiation injury.

Abstract
Background: Brain-tumor-initiating cells (BTICs) of proneural and mesenchymal origin contribute to the highly malignant phenotype of glioblastoma (GB) and resistance to current therapies. Methods: BTICs of different subtypes representing tumor heterogeneity were challenged with OXPHOS (oxidative phosphorylation) inhibition to assess the differential effects of metabolic intervention on key resistance features. Results: Whereas mesenchymal BTICs were more invasive, more glycolytic and less responsive to OXPHOS-inhibition, proneural BTICs were less invasive, catabolized glucose more via the pentose phosphate pathways, and responded better to OXPHOS inhibition. Conclusion: Targeting glycolysis may be a promising approach to inhibit highly invasive tumor cells of mesenchymal origin, whereas proneural cells are more responsive to OXPHOS inhibition. Future clinical trials exploring metabolic interventions should account for metabolic heterogeneity of brain tumors to overcome resistance to current treatments.
Navigator-Free Submillimeter Diffusion Imaging Using Multishot-Encoded Simultaneous Multi-Slice (MUSIUM)

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The ability to achieve submillimter isotropic resolution diffusion MR imaging (dMRI) is critically important to study fine-scale brain structures. One of the major challenges in submillimeter dMRI is the inherently low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). While approaches capable of mitigating the low SNR have been proposed, namely simultaneous multi-slab (SMSlab) and generalized slice dithered enhanced resolution with simultaneous multislice (gSlider-SMS), limitations are associated with these approaches. The SMSlab sequences suffer from the slab boundary artifacts and require additional navigators for phase estimation. On the other hand, gSlider sequences require relatively high RF power and peak amplitude, which increase the SAR and complicate the RF excitation. In this work, we developed a navigator-free multishot-encoded simultaneous multi-slice (MUSIUM) imaging approach, achieving enhanced SNR, low RF power and peak amplitude, and being free from slab boundary artifacts. The dMRI with ultrahigh resolution (0.86 mm isotropic), whole brain coverage and ~12.5 minute acquisition time were achieved, revealing detailed structures at cortical and white matter areas. The simulated and in vivo results also demonstrated that the MUSIUM imaging was minimally affected by the motion. Taken together, the MUSIUM imaging is a promising approach to achieve submillimeter diffusion imaging on 3T scanner within clinically feasible scan time.
Particle Swarm Optimization in Image Processing of Power Flow Learning Distribution
Authors: Huang Chuanchao 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
In order to realize the coordination and integration optimization of the power system itself, this paper constructed the mathematical model of the hybrid power system and solved the multi-objective optimization problem of the heating system through the optimized particle swarm optimization algorithm. Based on the back-to-back VSC-HVDC grid-connected composite system, this paper studied the integrated control strategy of the device to achieve the simultaneous parallel and tie line currents. At the same time, this paper simplified and improved the proposed disassembly criteria for grid-connected composite devices and integrated them into the grid-connected composite device. In addition, on this basis, the integrated control of the three functions of de-listing, juxtaposition and tie line power adjustment of the same device was further studied. Simulation studies show that the proposed algorithm has certain effects and can provide theoretical reference for subsequent related research.
