Aim. To evaluate the basic clinical and laboratory parameters and their relationship with the 14-year risk of cardiovascular death in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Material and methods. A prospective case-control study of a sample of Novosibirsk residents with T2D was performed. An initial examination was conducted as part of the HAPIEE project in 2003-2005. The follow-up period lasted until 2017 and amounted to 13,7±0,7 years. The case group consisted of 145 people (mean age — 62,0±5,7 years) with recorded cardiovascular death. Control group — 272 people (mean age — 57,9±6,6 years) without recorded death as of December 31, 2017. Persons with a history of non-fatal myocardial infarction and/or stroke at the initial examination were excluded. Blood pressure (BP), biochemical, anthropometric and socio-demographic data were determined. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association of clinical and laboratory parameters with the risk of cardiovascular death.Results. T2D subjects with recorded cardiovascular death at the initial examination had a longer duration of the disease, higher fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and anthropometric parameters (body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) (in women)), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In individuals of both sexes, the risk of cardiovascular death increased 2,2 times with WC >95 cm, 2,3 times with an increased WC/HC ratio, 2,2 times with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2, 1,9 times with physical activity <3 hours/week, 2 times for smokers and those with a single marital status, 3,5 times for hypertensive people, 2 times with FPG ≥7,5 mmol/L and longer duration of diabetes.Conclusion. Fourteen-year follow-up revealed that individuals with T2D have associations of cardiovascular death with both conventional risk factors such as hypertension, abdominal obesity, low level of physical activity, smoking, single marital status, and diabetes-related ones — FPG and the duration of diabetes.

Published: May 2020

This research work examines the effect of selected macroeconomic variables on investments inflow in Turkey. Macroeconomic theory of foreign direct investments posits that investment inflow largely depend on changes in the macroeconomic environment. The environment consists of government deficit, exchange rates, inflation rates, interest rates, which are some of the factors that affect the investment inflows in a country.
Also this study focuses on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows and how they are linked with the economic indicators in Turkey including the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER), and Gross Domestic Product per capita of Purchasing Power Parity - GDP (PPP) in Turkey. The GDP (PPP) variable is used because it shows significant causality on REER, along with the exchange rate volatility of the U.S Dollar in the Turkish stock market.
In Turkey, Various macroeconomic policies and reforms have been embarked upon by government aimed at attracting FDI into the country, but these efforts have appeared to be futile going by the low and unsteady behavior of the level of foreign direct investments. This has become a source of worry to all concerned. Therefore, this work was set out to investigate the impact of macroeconomic policy variables on Foreign Direct Investment Inflow in Turkey. Data for the study were collected from the Central Bank of Turkey statistical bulletin (1994 – 2018). Variables examined were exchange rates, inflation rates, interest rates, government deficit. Findings revealed that all the explanatory variables jointly impact on foreign direct investment inflow. Government deficit, exchange rates have a significant positive effect on FDI in Turkey. Therefore, Government should evolve sound policies that would strengthen the attraction of Foreign Direct Investment Inflow in Turkey by paying more attention to the identified macroeconomic policy variables. The variables have shown to be a vital tool that could be used to encourage the inflow of FDI into the country. The research recommends that there is need for the creation of friendly and enabling environment for FDI to thrive in Turkey.

Abstract

Background
Cervical cancer (CC) is a global problem; it is among the five leading causes of cancer death in women. Several studies have examined the association between age and disease prognosis; however, controversy still exists. The objective of the present study is to determine if age at diagnosis has an impact on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

Materials and Methods
Retrospective cohort of 2,982 patients with CC treated at the National Cancer Institute of Mexico from 2005 to 2015. We collected demographic, clinical, and treatment data, as well as current status, of 2 groups: women under and over 40 years of age. We calculated OS and DFS rates with Kaplan-Meier estimates. Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to determine risks.

Results
The median follow-up time was 26.5 months (percentile [P]25–P75, 11–60.23). When comparing DFS, OS, stage, and histologic subtype between young patients &lt;40 and adult patients &gt;40, we did not observe any difference. We found that in both groups, locally advanced and advanced stage, neuroendocrine subtype, hydronephrosis, and positive inguinal lymph nodes increased the risks of death and recurrence. Having been pregnant was identified as protective factor in DFS (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% confidence interval, 0.04–0.71).

Conclusion
We corroborated that age at diagnosis is not a prognostic factor for decreased or increased OS or DFS, and in both groups, the stage, histologic subtype, hydronephrosis, and node involvement were identified as factors adverse to OS and DFS, and pregnancy history was a protective factor in DFS.

Implications for Practice
The present study directly affects everyday clinical practice because it allows us to focus on the most relevant prognostic factors in patients with cervical cancer. When planning treatment and follow-up, clinicians should focus on stage at diagnosis, histologic subtype, hydronephrosis, and distant metastasis instead of patients’ age. They should also be aware of any previous pregnancies and poor response, or nonresponse, to treatment, which results in disease progression and persistence. Paying attention to these factors affecting overall survival and disease-free survival will help treat patients better and increase their chances of survival and improve their quality of life.

Des enquêtes ethnobotaniques ont été menées dans les formations forestières de la baie de Rigny-Antsiranana à Madagas- car. Ces formations forestières sont des zones clés de la biodiversité malgache et constituent la principale source d’appro- visionnement des populations locales en plantes utiles. Trente-huit informateurs d’âge compris entre 15 et 80 ans, tradipra- ticiens, mères et pères de famille et connaissant bien les plantes médicinales, ont été enquêtés en les amenant en forêt ou bien en leur montrant des spécimens d’herbier. La méthode d’enquête indivi- duelle retenue était l’entretien semi-struc- turé. Cinquante-trois espèces de plantes médicinales réparties dans 50 genres et 28 familles ont été recensées. Trente-huit espèces (68,6 %) sont endémiques de Madagascar. Les dix premières espèces les plus utilisées ont des indices de fidéli- té élevés pour les maladies indiquées. Dix-neuf espèces ont des indices de fidéli- té élevés (> 60 %) pour diverses maladies. Les maladies auxquelles les informateurs rattachent le plus grand nombre de plantes médicinales sont les affections du système digestif (maux de ventre et diarrhée), les maladies générales (les plaies et la fatigue), les infections et infestations (le paludisme), tout comme la grossesse, la naissance et la puerpéralité. Les indices de fidélité de Adansonia madagascariensis et Senna alata destinées respectivement à la lutte contre la perte de poids et l’hyperten- sion artérielle sont également élevés. Toutes ces maladies sont fréquentes à Madagascar. Les formations végétales de la baie de Rigny-Antsiranana constituent un réservoir de plantes médicinales pour la région Nord de Madagascar. Les connais- sances locales relatives à ces plantes n’ont pas été transcrites mais restent orales et risquent d’être perdues. La végétation naturelle y est menacée par la pression anthropique et l’absence de plan de conservation. Des recherches chimiques et pharmacologiques sur les espèces endémiques, et des mesures de conser- vation de la végétation, sont nécessaires pour leur valorisation et leur protection.

Puri Bunga Nirwana, Bukit Permai, and Gunung Batu Housings are some of the housings that exist in Sumbersari subdistrict. These housings are the third former residential land that was initially able to rainwater seeped into the land of the free but is now covered by housing buildings. The effect of this case is the water cannot go into the land directly but the weather even in times of flooding rains. Therefore, to overcome this problem, it is necessary to do a study and planning of artificially recharged wells in the area. From the result of research with the basic circle and square pad at Puri Bunga Nirwana Housings for the types of houses with an area of 72 m2, 84 m2, and 105 m2 were made artificial recharged wells with a diameter of 1 m and a depth of 2 m. While at Bukit Permai and Gunung Batu Housings for the types of houses with an area of 75 m2, 90 m2, 101 m2, and 202 m2 were made artificial recharged wells with a diameter of 1 m and a depth of 2 m. And the useful cross-section used on each housing is the square cross-section.
Perumahan Puri Bunga Nirwana, Perumahan Bukit Permai dan Perumahan Gunung Batu merupakan beberapa perumahan yang ada di Kecamatan Sumbersari. Ketiga perumahan ini dahulunya merupakan lahan yang awalnya mampu meresap air hujan ke dalam tanah secara bebas akan tetapi kini tertutup oleh bangunan-bangunan perumahan. Hal ini menyebabkan air tidak dapat langsung masuk ke dalam tanah tetapi menggenang bahkan banjir di saat hujan turun. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini perlu dilakukan perencanaan sumur resapan di daerah tersebut. Dari hasil penelitian dengan penampang lingkaran dan penampang persegi pada Perumahan Puri Bunga Nirwana untuk tipe rumah dengan luas 72 m2, 84 m2, dan 105 m2 dibuat sumur resapan dengan diameter 1,0 m dan kedalaman 2,0 m.

Expansive soils can cause problems in construction due to changing volume changes. The area that is suspected to have an expansive soil type is Glagah Agung village, Purwoharjo District, Banyuwangi. Every season change, the construction of the building is always damaged, especially on the structure of the building. In the rainy season, the land will expand and cause the building to rise, while at the dry season the land will shrink and there is a decline in buildings. In the face of these problems, it is necessary to do special treatment to improve the nature of the expansive soil. One is chemical stabilization, adding chemicals to improve soil properties and reduce their development potential. In this study, the stabilizers used are Ca (OH) 2 lime with a percentage of 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12% with curing time for one day. The results of soil become less plastic with an increase of lime content. The decrease of plasticity index is supported by grain test which is the decrease of clay fraction grain on soil mixed with lime according to the USCS method and AASHTO method. There was a decrease in the percent of original primary soil development which was initially 11.9% decreased to 2.181% 4% lime content, and 0% at 6% to 12%.
Tanah ekspansif dapat menimbulkan masalah dalam konstruksi akibat perubahan volume yang berubahubah. Daerah yang diduga memiliki jenis tanah ekspansif adalah Desa Glagah agung Kecamatan Purwoharjo, Kabupaten Banyuwangi. Setiap pergantian musim, konstruksi bangunan selalu mengalami kerusakan terutama pada struktur dari bangunan. Pada musim penghujan tanah akan mengembang dan mengakibatkan bangunan terangkat, sedangkan pada saat kemarau tanah akan menyusut dan terjadi penurunan bangunan. Dalam menghadapi permasalahan yang terjadi maka perlu dilakukan treatment khusus untuk memperbaiki sifat tanah ekspansif. Salah satunya adalah stabilisasi kimiawi, dengan menambahkan bahan kimia untuk memperbaiki sifat tanah dan mereduksi potensi pengembangannya. pada peneliatian ini, stabilitator yang digunakan adalah kapur Ca(OH)2 dengan prosentase 4%,6%,8%,10%,12% dengan waktu peram (curing) selama 24 jam. Didapatkan hasil tanah menjadi tidak plastis seiring dengan bertambahnya kadar kapur. Penurunan indeks plastisitas didukung dengan pengujian gradasi butiran yaitu berkurangnya butiran fraksi lempung pada tanah yang dicampur dengan kapur menurut metode USCS dan metode AASHTO. Terjadi penurunan persen pengembangan primer tanah asli yang mulanya sebesar 11,9% berkurang menjadi 2,181% kadar kapur 4%, dan 0% pada kadar 6% hingga 12%.
