Planning Structure Transformation Strategies for Satellite Cities of the Minsk Agglomeration
Authors: Zholud’ N. I. 
Published: October 2020

Determination of strategies for the formation of satellite cities of Minsk is the basis for the development of a polycentric model of the metropolitan agglomeration. On the basis of the comparative analysis of design solutions for master plans, a concept for improving the planning structure and functional organization of satellite cities has been proposed in the paper. The concept is to adapt their planning structure to one of the promising economic profiles (industrial, scientific and industrial, agrarian and industrial, tourism and recreation). In accordance with the concept, there are four main types of the planning structure of satellite cities that correlate with their city-forming specifics: an urbanized planning structure (type У) – an industrial city, an urbanized-natural structure (type УП) – a scientific-industrial city, a natural-urbanized structure (type ПУ) – agricultural and industrial city and a natural structure (type П) – tourist and recreational city. The selected period (20–30 years). While developing master plans, it is necessary to distinguish two main directions of transformation: transformation and development. The implementation of the first direction is provided by two strategies – fragmentation and defragmentation as well as four varieties of each strategy. Spatial development strategies are consolidation, vector growth, sector growth, radial growth. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of possible options for the placement of functional zones, depending on the distance of the city from the core city. Taking into account the identified strategies for spatial development and analysis of the location of satellite cities in the Minsk agglomeration, twelve planning models have been developed that can be used to create urban planning projects to improve the functional planning organization of settlements in the Minsk agglomeration.
Intelligent Model of Potential Risks in Emergence of Man-Made Disaster
Authors: Gulay A. V. , Zaitsev V. M. 
Published: October 2020

A man-made catastrophe is considered as an information display of catastrophic development of events in the management system, a peculiar projection of a man-made catastrophe on the information plane. The paper presents an intellectual model, considers dynamics and ranges of emergency changes in management system parameters, assesses potential risks and threats of catastrophe emergence. It has been shown that at the macro-structural level for semantic description of a catastrophe, it is quite effective to use a tree-like network of scenarios, which displays the conceptual scheme of the subject and problem areas of the catastrophe and is based on judgments of experts, their experience and intuition. This allows probabilistic methods to assess potential risks of a catastrophe using two quantitative indicators: risk (probability) level of phenomenon occurrence at a certain control point of time and the volume of the expected material loss. It has been suggested that for assessment of possible microstate the fuzzy logic should be applied for each critical object parameter, tolerance limits and functions of affiliation with the fields of fail-safe object functioning should be set by expertise, migration trajectories of relative parameter values should be monitored and terms of their forced return to the working field of regular functioning should be duly provided. Quantitative indicators having imprecise origin have been introduced in the intelligent model of potential risks to assess dynamics of catastrophe threat. One of these indicators is the expert level of catastrophe occurrence during migration of a group of abnormally dangerous parameters of a technical object. The time interval has also been considered which is measured from the current moment to the expected moment of catastrophe occurrence at the preset maximum permissible level of catastrophe threat.

Abstract
Background: Evidence-based practice, decision aids, patient preferences and autonomy preferences (AP) play an important role in making decisions with the patient. They are crucial in the process of a shared decision making (SDM) and can be incorporated into quality criteria for patient involvement in health care. However, there are few studies on SDM and AP in the field of dentistry. This study explored patients’ autonomy preferences in dentistry in comparison to other medical domains, comparing them with patient preferences in two other cohorts of patients with different conditions and in different health care settings.Methods: A sample of 100 dental patients attending 16 dentists was consecutively recruited in a university-based prosthodontic clinic. Patients’ and dentists’ preferences regarding their roles in dental decision making for commonly performed diagnostic and treatment decisions were compared using the Control Preference Scale (CPS). This was followed by cross sectional surveys to study autonomy preferences in three additional cohorts recruited from general practices (n=100), a multiple sclerosis clinic (n=109), and a university-based prosthodontic clinic (n=100). A questionnaire with combined items from the Autonomy Preference Index (API) to assess general and the CPS to assess specific preferences was used in the additional cohorts. Results: Dentists were less willing to give patients control than patients were willing to enact autonomy. However, decisions about management of tooth loss were considered relevant for a shared decision making by both parties. When comparing cohorts from different samples, the highest AP was expressed by people with multiple sclerosis and the lowest by patients in dentistry (means: dentistry 2.5, multiple sclerosis 2.1, general practice 2.4, p=.035). There were considerable intra-individual differences in autonomy preferences referring to different decision types (p<.001). In general, more autonomy was desired for treatment decisions in comparison to diagnostic decisions, for trivial compared to severe conditions, and for dental care compared to general practice (all: p<.001).Conclusion: There is an important role of patient participation in decision making in dentistry. Furthermore, PA should be considered with respect to specific medical decisions instead of assessing autonomy preferences in general implying a need for communication skills training of health care professionals.

Abstract
The catalytic hydrolysis of Difluorodichloromethane(CFC-12) by solid acid of MoO3/ZrO2-TiO2 calcined at different temperature had been studied. The effects of catalytic hydrolysis temperature and water vapor concentration on catalytic hydrolysis of CFC-12were also studied. The results showed that catalytic hydrolysis rate of CFC-12 reached to 98.65% at 400 ℃ when the MoO3/ZrO2-TiO2 catalyst was calcined at 500 ℃ with a concentration of water vapor of 83.18%, and the main hydrolysis products were CO, CO2, HF and HCl. After 30 hours’ continuous reaction, the hydrolysis rate of CFC-12 was 65.34%. The XRD result reveals that the main phase of solid MoO3/ZrO2-TiO2 catalyst is the tetragonal Zr (MoO4)2 with doped TiO2 of anatase.

Abstract
BackgroundSelf-care and professional care of implants may prove difficult for elderly people who require nursing care. However, the actual state of care and problems remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the actual state of implant problems in elderly people living in their own home or in a nursing home who received visiting dental treatment. MethodsWe mailed questionnaire survey forms to 2339 representatives or specialists who were members of the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology, the Japanese Society of Gerodontology or the Japan Prosthodontic Society. We narrowed down the respondents to those who provided visiting dental treatment, and analyzed the actual state of implants observed during visiting dental treatment (type, care, problems, countermeasures, etc.). ResultsOf the 924 dentists who responded to the questionnaire survey, 291 (22%) provided visiting dental treatment. While the majority of implant types encountered in the previous 12 months were root-form implants, there were still a certain number of blade and subperiosteal implants. Daily implant care involved mostly cleaning with a toothbrush + auxiliary tools. The most frequent implant problems encountered in the past were difficulty in cleaning and peri-implantitis. Medication and antiphlogistic treatment were most frequently adopted as countermeasures to implant problems, followed by observation. When we classified the results into those for the dentists who provided implant treatment and those for the dentists who did not, we found that many of the dentists who did not provide implant treatment opted for observation or medication, while those who provided implant treatment also implemented removal of superstructure, retightening of screws, repair and so forth. Conclusions We found that many of the implant troubles encountered by dentists who provided visiting dental care were difficulty in cleaning or peri-implantitis, and that the actions taken against these troubles varied depending on the experience of the dentist performing the implant treatment. Our study also revealed that dentists who provide visiting dental care need to acquire knowledge and skills of implant treatment, to have actions prepared in case they encounter such cases, or to closely coordinate with dentists who specialize in implants.
Estimating restricted mean survival time and expected life-years lost in the presence of competing risks within flexible parametric survival models
Authors: Mozumder Sarwar Islam , Rutherford Mark , Lambert Paul 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
We present various measures, speciﬁcally the expected life-years list due to a cause of death, that can be predicted for a speciﬁc covariate pattern to facilitate interpretation in observational studies. These can also be summarised at the population-level using standardisation to obtain marginal measures. The restricted mean survival time (RMST) measure can be obtained in the presence of competing risks using Royston-Parmar ﬂexible parametric survival models (FPMs). Royston-Parmar FPMs can be ﬁtted on either the cause-speciﬁc hazards or cumulative incidence scale in the presence of competing risks. An advantage of modelling within this framework for competing risks data is the ease at which other alternative predictions to the (cause-speciﬁc or subdistribution) hazard ratio can be obtained. The RMST estimate is one such measure. This has an attractive interpretation, especially when the proportionality assumption is violated. In addition to this, compared to similar measures, fewer assumptions are required and it does not require extrapolation. Furthermore, one can easily obtain the expected number of life-years lost, or gained, due to a particular cause of death, which is a further useful prognostic measure. We describe estimation of RMST after ﬁtting a FPM on either the log-cumulative subdistribution, or cause-speciﬁc hazards scale. As an illustration of reporting such measures to facilitate interpretation of a competing risks analysis, models are ﬁtted to English colorectal data.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Background: To identify the applicability of the Chinese Version of Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS-CV).Methods: The DRS-CV was administered to 483 participants, including 136 normal controls, 167 patients with mild cognition impairment (MCI), and 180 patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the scale.Results: The scores of DRS-CV were ranked in the order of NC >MCI > mild AD > moderate AD group. Memory was the sensitive function affected at a relatively earlier stage of AD. ROC curve analysis indicated the DRS-CV total score and memory subscale showed excellent sensitivity and specificity in the discrimination between MCI from mild AD and mild AD from moderate AD, but poor sensitivity and specificity in the discrimination between MCI and NC.Conclusion: The DRS-CV is useful to the early diagnosis and severity of AD, not to the early identification of MCI.

Abstract
Background: Microencapsulated organic acids and botanicals have the potential to develop into important tools for the poultry industry. A blend of organic acids and botanicals (AviPlus®P) has previously shown to reduce Salmonella and Campylobacter in chickens; however, changes to the microbiota of the jejunum and ileum have not been evaluated. Microbiota diversity is linked to, but not correlated with, the efficacy of natural products; therefore, understanding the effects on the microbiota is necessary for evaluating their potential as an antibiotic alternative. Results: Ileal and jejunal segments from control and supplement-fed chickens (300 and 500g/metric ton [MT]) were subjected to alpha diversity analysis including Shannon’s diversity and Pielou’s Evenness. In both analytics, the diversity in the ileum was significantly decreased compared to the jejunum irrespective of treatment. Similarly, beta diversity metrics including Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index and Weighted Unifrac Distance Matrix, were significant (Q<0.05) for both tissue and treatments comparisons. Alpha and beta diversity analytics indicated compartmentalization effects between the ileum and jejunum. Additionally, analysis of communities in the microbiota (ANCOM) analysis showed Lactobacilliaceae predominated the total operational taxonomic units (OTU), with a stepwise increase from 53% in the no treatment control (NTC) to 56% in the 300g/MT and 67% in the 500g/MT group. Staphylococcaceae were 2% in NTC and 2 and 0% in 300 and 500g/MT groups. Enterobacteriaceae decreased in the 500g/MT (31%) and increased in the 300g/MT (37%) compared to the NTC (35%). Aerococcaceae was 0% for both doses and 7% in NTC. Ruminococcaceae were 0% in NTC and 2% and 1% in the 300 and 500g/MT. These changes in the microbial consortia were statistically (Q<0.05) associated with treatment groups in the jejunum that were not observed in the ileum. Least discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSE) indicated different changes directly corresponding to treatment. Enterobacteriaceae demonstrated a stepwise decrease (from NTC onward) while Clostridiaceae, were significantly increased in the 500g/MT compared to NTC and 300g/MT (P<0.05).Conclusion: The bioactive site for the microencapsulated blend of organic acids and botanicals was the jejunum, and dietary inclusion enhanced the GIT microbiota and may be a viable antibiotic alternative for the poultry industry.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Background: As an ethical principle, showing respect to human dignity is considered as a professional duty of all nurses. The aggressive nature of severe burn injuries makes it hard to respect existential values and dignity of burn patients. However, only a few studies have been conducted on the preservation of the dignity of burn patients.Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the various aspects of the concept of burn patients’ dignity from the perspective of nurses, family caregivers, and burn patients themselves.Methods: The present study has a descriptive, qualitative research design. Moreover, data were collected using semi-structured, in-depth, individual interviews. Thereafter, data analysis was performed using conventional content analysis. The subjects of the present study were from nurses, family caregivers, and patients referred to the biggest burns hospital in the southeast of Iran. The participants were then selected via a purposeful sampling (n=25), which continued until reaching data saturation. This study lasted from October 2017 to August 2018. Results: Three main themes were extracted from the information obtained in the interviews, which were as follows: Creating an intimate atmosphere, showing respect, and providing comprehensive support.Conclusion: Burn patients need receiving appropriate care in a convivial atmosphere where they are looked after by empathetic caregivers who dedicate enough time to them as well as allowing them to express their feelings and concerns. In addition, patients' human values and beliefs should be respected and all aspects of their existence should be taken into account to preserve their dignity. In this regard, workshops designed based on the findings of the present study can help improving the quality of burn care nursing.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Background: The spread of digital technology in dentistry poses new challenges and sets new goals for dentists. The aim of the present in vivo study was to determine the learning curve of intraoral scanning described by (1) scanning time and (2) image number (count of images created by intraoral scanner during the scanning process).Methods: Ten dental students of Semmelweis University took part in the study. Dental students took digital study impressions using a 3Shape Trios 3® (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) intraoral scanning device. Each student took 10 digital impressions on volunteers. Volunteer inclusion criteria included full dentition (except for missing third molars) and no prosthetic/restorative treatment. Digital impression taking was preceded by tuition consisting of both theoretical education and practical training. Digital impressions were taken of the upper and lower arches, and the bite was recorded according to the manufacturer's instructions. Total scanning times and image numbers were recorded.Results: The difference in scanning time between the first and the tenth digital impressions was significant (p=0.007). The average scanning time for the first impressions was 23 min 9 sec; for the tenth impressions, it was 15 min 28 sec. The difference between the scanning times of the first and the tenth procedures was 7 min 41 sec. The average image count for the first impressions was 1964.5; for the tenth impressions, it was 1468.6. The image count difference between the first and the tenth procedures was 495.9. The image count versus sequential number of measurement curve shows an initial decreasing tendency followed by a trough around the sixth measurement and a final increasing phase.Conclusion: Our results indicate an association between the sequential number of measurements and the outcome variables. The drop in scanning time is probably explained by a practice effect of repeated use, i.e. the students learned to move the scanning tip faster. The image count first showed a decreasing tendency, and after the sixth measurement, it increased; there was no consistent decline in mean scan count. Shorter scanning times are associated with poorer coverage quality, with the operator needing to make corrections by adding extra images; this manifests as the time function of image counts taking an increase after the sixth measurement.

Abstract
Background: Musculoskeletal Diseases (MSDs) are among the most prevalent health problems encountered in the workforce in Europe. Multiple risk factors contribute to their onset. In the present study, different individual risk factors for chronic tendinous pathology affecting the shoulder were analysed in a sample of workers from the automotive manufacturing sector. Methods: An observational retrospective study was conducted with 73 cases of officially recognised and compensated occupational diseases and 94 aleatory cases of healthy workers from the same car assembly company. The experimental group comprised individuals with tendinous chronic pathology of the rotator cuff. Multiple variables that identified the risks present in the job were assessed along with participants clinical evaluation. Furthermore, two standardised guidelines for risk factors assessment were also used: the Spanish National Institute of Social Security (INSS) and the American Occupational Information Network (O*Net). Both descriptive statistical analysis and Odds ratios calculations considering the occupational disease as a dependent variable were performed. Results: The use of hand tools, exposure to mechanical pressure in the upper limbs and awkward postures were the most prevalent risk factors. Pressure on the palm of the hand and the hand tool impacting the hand were also important risk factors. Some psychosocial factors such as lack of autonomy and mental workload were also associated shoulder tendinous diseases. The association of age, load handling, and awkward postures were the core risk factors responsible for most of the tendinous chronic injuries of the shoulder in this sample of car assembly workers.Conclusions: Both ergonomic and psychosocial factors were present and increased the risk of developing occupational chronic tendinopathies at the shoulder in this sample of workers. Aging, load handling, and awkward postures showed the strongest predictive values. Greater knowledge of how risk factors interact would facilitate the design of better preventive workplace strategies.
