Functional approach to object intellectualization based on complex engineering
Authors: Mokhov A. I. , Dushkin R. V. 
Published: March 2021

The article presents the authors` position on the development and application of a functional approach to the design and development of intelligent control systems for technical objects of various nature (cyberphysical systems) based on the principles of complex engineering. Complex engineering and a functional approach can, for example, be used together to manage such complex technical objects as intelligent buildings, which in the future allows us to transfer their functioning to a higher level of efficiency not only of the management object itself, but also of the hierarchy of its super – systems from the municipality and the region to the state as a whole. However, the system approach can also be applied in conjunction with complex engineering, which allows us, at least partially, to smooth out certain shortcomings of the functional approach, which are manifested when it is applied exclusively within the framework of system engineering when considering aspects of managing cyber-physical systems with a high degree of intelligence based on the system approach.The authors clearly show the techniques and methods of this set of complex engineering, functional and system approaches in the proposed article using infographic models. Complex engineering allows you to solve the problem of transferring the control object to a connected intellectualized control complex, which, in turn, increases the level of its intelligence. At the same time, the authors use an interdisciplinary approach, since it is the most effective one when considering complex cyberphysical systems. Complex engineering initially includes an interdisciplinary approach, which allows us to apply it to the analysis and study of cyberphysical systems with the subsequent application of already a functional approach to solving problems of intellectualization. According to the authors, this will allow us to reach new frontiers in the field of creating “smart” systems for managing technological and managerial processes in various branches of human economic activity.

Published: March 2021

Ashram schools are residential schools developed for underprivileged groups of society who are weak in organizations and economically poor. In general, in all the states, the major obstacle is lack of provision of capacity building and teachers training in serving of the Ashram schools. 8 ashram schools were then randomly divided into control group and intervention group. In the control group, end line oral health assessment using the WHO assessment form 2013 was carried out without any health promotion program. In the intervention group, the oral health care module specifically designed for ashram schools, were implemented. In this group, end line oral health assessments were carried out. Treatments of the minor ailment, oral health program, behaviour change communication model for the schools were implemented. The need-based oral health module was developed for tribal students. The effect size for the intervention was 17.3% indicating 17.3% reduction in dental caries due to intervention (95%CI: -12.3% to-21.62%). The effect was statistically significant. The effect size for the intervention was -43.2 %. Indicating 43.2 % reduction in periodontal diseases due to intervention(95%CI: (-50.7% to -34.1%). The effect was statistically significant. The magnitude of fluorosis in the control group increased by 4.8 % from 28.85% to 33.64 %. During the same time, the magnitude in intervention arm decreases by 3.5% from 47.71 % to 44.20 %. The success of the school-based oral health program depends on the repetition and reinforcement of the program, independent of the dentists, peer leaders and the teachers. It was concluded from this study that the presence of teachers and peers, can influence the study majorly.

Land conversion is a phenomenon of the use of agricultural to non agricultural. This phenomenon appears cause the increase growth of suburban population and the demand for land. It can brings the impact for the community to decrease farmer’s income, the lowering of family food security, the subside employment oppurtunities in agriculture, and the difficulties farmer’s access to land. The farmer in improving household economy do a livelihood strategy that is diversification of livelihood, circular migration, and the transition of livelihood. This paper aim to examine the factors that encourage land conversion and to examine farmer’s livelihood strategies due to land conversion. The method used in this research is quantitive approach with the main instrument questionnaire supported by qualitative approach with in-depth interviews. The results of the research in Palasari village indicate that there are aspects that encourage land conversion in the form of urgent economic needs, low land productivity, external pressure, and knowledge aspects owned by farmers regarding government policy. In addition, for most farmers who have converted agricultural land prefer to switch livelihoods to other sectors. Livelihood transition occurs due to the increasingly narrow land of their farms.Keywords : farm households, land conversion, livelihood strategies ABSTRAK Konversi lahan merupakan suatu fenomena pemanfaatan lahan terhadap lahan pertanian menjadi non pertanian. Fenomena ini muncul disebabkan pertumbuhan penduduk pinggiran kota yang semakin tinggi serta tingginya permintaan terhadap lahan.

William Saroyan: Ethnic and Family Identities in Universal Settings
Authors: Muradian Gaiane , Muradian Gaiane 
Published: March 2021

As a particular cultural production, migration literature, increasingly heralded as a new world literature, internationalised literature or world fiction – is a form of transnational writing, concerned mostly with cosmopolitan issues. The universalism of migration literature, however, is based on national or ethnic tradition. Moreover, it is manifested through original life experiences and attitudes that are typical of ethnic expressions of identities. The significant point that this paper emphasises is the fact that William Saroyan is an author who represents a dynamic Armenian-American cultural blend, moving both universal and ethnic literary expressions to new heights. His works demonstrate clearly both his universality and his adherence to national heritage – his ethnic and family identities are employed in his distinct western settings and tones.
Clinical application of proton pump inhibitor in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, complicated with Barrett syndrome (a clinical case)
Authors: Janelidze D. T. 
Published: March 2021

The article presents a clinical case of patient with Barrett’s esophagus. A patient of 36 years old went to the clinic with complaints of heartburn, which did not stop while taking a standard dose of a proton pump inhibitor. After examination and esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy, the diagnosis of hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett’s esophagus, CM4, undefined dysplasia, with typical reflux syndrome was established.The patient was administered nutritional correction and therapy with a proton pump inhibitor (Nolpaza 40 mg, 1 tablet twice a day) with a duration of 6 months. After the treatment completion, repeated examination and esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy in dynamics were carried out. The diagnosis was changed to Barrett’s esophagus without dysplasia. The patient was recommended the long‑term intake of proton pump inhibitor and gastroscopy check after 3 years.This case showed that definitive therapy is not the only possible method of treatment of such precancerous condition as Barrett’s esophagus. The variants of Barrett’s esophagus exist, when drug therapy with a double dose of PPIs and periodic observation of the patient with upper endoscopy are sufficient. With account of the world standards for the management of patients with Barrett’s esophagus with undetermined dysplasia, this clinical example gives grounds to recommend the administration of pantoprazole (Nolpaza) as an effective drug at the Barrett’s esophagus diagnosis.

Published: March 2021

Recently, our knowledge of gut microbiota (GM) disorders in various pathologies has significantly increased. In particular, to date, there is sufficient evidence that various disorders of GM may play a pathogenetic role in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Therefore, various methods of GM modification are now considered as a new promising strategy for the treatment of patients with IBS. The use of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, antibiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) are considered as methods of GM modification. Many clinical trials have been conducted to examine the therapeutic effect of probiotics on general or specific symptoms of IBS, but most of these studies have been very heterogeneous. Although some meta‑analyzes or systematic reviews show that probiotics may be useful in treating the symptoms of IBS, their findings in the studies differ due to insufficient sample size, poor study design, and the use of different probiotic strains. Currently, only one selective intestinal antibiotic with eubiotic properties is known — rifaximin, the effectiveness and safety of which have been proven in large randomized trials. The authors presented their own experience of rifaximin use at IBS that confirmed its efficiency. Own experience of the FMT conduction in patients with IBS is also presented. It has been revealed that even one‑time treatment significantly affected the GM by reducing the frequency and severity of dysbiotic disorders; it was accompanied by significant clinical effects in most patients that lasted up to 3 months of follow‑up.

Authors: Babinets L. S. , Kytsay Ye. Yu. 
Published: March 2021

Objective — to investigate the structural state of the liver and pancreas, their relationship with the functional capacity of the pancreas, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment scheme that includes metadoxinе to correct the reveled disorders in patients with chronic biliary pancreatitis(CBP) combined with obesity.
Materials and methods. The investigation involved 22 patients with CBP (comparison group) and 88 patients with CBP combined with obesity (the main group) with the mean age (50.57 ± 8.81) years, from them 60 (54 %) women and 50 (46 %) men. The control group included 20 age‑ and gender‑matched healthy subjects. The index of liver stiffness in patients with CBP was higher by 30.2 % than in control group, and the index of pancreas stiffness — by 27.9 %, respectively (p < 0.05). CAP of the liver and pancreas were significantly higher in patients with CBP and concomitant obesity than in those without concomitant obesity by 33.2 % and 34.4 %, respectively (p < 0.05). To assess the efficacy of treatment schemes, the patients were divided into two groups: subjects of the 1st group (n = 35) received standard therapy: pancreatin at a dose of 25 thousand units with meals, pantoprazole at a dose of 40 mg once a day, domperidone at a dose of 1 tablet three times a day, patients of the 2nd group (n = 38) additionally received hepatotropic drug metadoxine (Liveria IС) 1 (0.5 g) tablet twice a day 15 — 30 mins before meals during 3 months.
Results. In CBP patients, liver stiffness the liver stiffness index was 30.2 % higher than that in the control group, and pancreas stiffness index by 27.9 % (p < 0.05). The ultrasound attenuation coefficient (UAC) of the liver and pancreas in CBP patients with concomitant obesity was significantly higher compared to the indicator in CBP patients by 33.2 and 34.4 %, respectively (p < 0.05). After the treatment, an improvement in liver structure and elasticity increase were defined, as evidenced by the decreased stiffness and UAC.
Conclusions. The investigations with shear wave elastography and steatometry in patients with CBP combined with obesity the significantly increased liver and pancreatic stiffness and UAC up to steatosis levels have been established. The use of metadoxinе in the complex treatment of chronic pancreatitis combined with obesity promoted the significant increase in the efficacy of standard treatment along with the improvements in the structure of hepatic and pancreatic parenchyma and increased levels of fecal a‑elastase (р < 0.05).

Published: March 2021

The Critical Management Studies, as an emerging perspective and research topic in management, has helped scholars to investigate management topics and issues with the perspective of Critical Theory of Frankfurt School. The Critical Theory itself is a synthesis of philosophy and social science which pioneered by several german philosophers in the beginning of 20th century. Although this perspective regained its relevancy and popularity recently, in Indonesia, the Critical Management Studies is quite alien and rarely be employed as a discussion topic or a research perspective. Therefore, in this study we want to offer Critical Management Studies to be an important alternative and it will be very relevant to the development of management theory and research in Indonesia. We conduct a literature-based research and our results are appeared in four themes: (1) The explanation about the birth and the thought of Frankfurt School thinkers, (2) The description about the development of Critical Management Studies, (3) The critiques against Critical Management Studies from the mainstream management thought, (4) The evaluatiion of the concept of Critical Management Studies from the researchers own perspective. We advise several potentialities and prospect for implementation of Critical Management Studies in the context of management theory development and research practice in Indonesia. However, as a conceptual study further effort still needed to apply this perspective.

Authors: Karki Binod Kumar 
Published: March 2021

Emergency Contraception is a method used to avoid pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or a contraceptive accident to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. This method has potential to prevent up to 75% of unplanned pregnancies. The aim of this study is to assess the information and perception towards emergency contraception among female adolescent students in secondary school. Secondary classes (+2 Wing) run by Koteshwor Multiple Campus was selected as study area purposively. The study was conducted on November 2018 to December 2018. The study was based on descriptive cross-sectional research design. Self-administered structure and pre-tested questionnaire were used to obtain information and perception from 220 study participants were selected by simple random sampling technique. After data collection, the data was coded, entered, and analyzed by using SPSS version 20. The study shows that 84.5 percentages of the female adolescent students had heard about emergency contraceptive. 85 percentages of them identified the correct timing of use within 72 hours of unsafe sexual contact. 69 percentages respondents said they are ready to use emergency contraceptive if required. There is significant relation between educational level and information of emergency contraceptive. The level of information of emergency contraception among female adolescent students was high but perception towards that was negative while comparing to other studies.Thus,health education intervention regarding information and positive perception towards emergency contraception is needed to female adolescent students of secondary school.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Infertility has been rising steeply as the prime health issue among women around the world these days. This study aims to investigate the causes, hormonal profi le, and clinical spectrum of infertility.Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted throughout a one year duration in an infertility clinic. The couples meeting the inclusion criteria were included and a pre-formed proforma was used to collect the data regarding history, examination, and investigations.Results: A total of 118 infertile couples were analyzed. The mean age of the females was 28.3±4.5 years. There were 72.1 %cases of primary infertility and 27.9 %of secondary infertility. Regarding obesity status,35.5% were overweight and 15.2 % were obese. Thirty-one (26.2%) males were smokers, 41 (34.7%) used to consume alcohol, and 14 (11.8%) had a habit of chewing tobacco. Among the different fi ndings of semen analysis, 21.1% asthenozoospermia, 9.3% oligoasthenozospermia,7.6% oligospermia, 1.6% azoospermia. Female factor accounted for 45.3%, the malefactor for 28% and in 19.3% the defi nite factor was not determined. The ovulatory disorder was diagnosed in 38.6% of females and hysterosalpingography (HSG) revealed that around 10% had a unilateral block and 1.7% had a bilateral block.Conclusions: Infertility is becoming a global issue affecting a signifi cant number of young couples. About forty-six percent were female aging more than thirty years. The female factor for infertility was more common than the male factor among which ovulatory disorder was the commonest one. Asthenozoospermiawas the commonest abnormal fi nding on semen analysis in a male partner.
Associative Remote Viewing for Profit: Evaluating the Importance of the Judge and the Investment Instrument
Authors: Kruth John G. 
Published: March 2021

This study examined the importance of the judge and the particular investment selection in the associative remote viewing (ARV) process. In Protocol 1, ARV was used to predict investments and to generate funds. Three viewers made weekly predictions on Sunday about an image they would be shown on Friday. Two images were selected to represent different states of a stock (value increase or value decrease), and a judge reviewed the images and the viewers’ information. Based on the judge’s evaluation, a coordinator informed an investor whether to invest for the stock to rise or fall during the weekly session. Though the sessions lost funds due to a complication in the investment process, this was not the focus of the study. A second judge (Protocol 2) and a mock investment instrument (Protocol 3) were included, blinded to all study participants. The second judge (J2) performed at a significantly less accurate level than the first judge (p < 0.05), and J2 also performed significantly lower than could be expected by chance (p = 0.02; effect size = –1.498; power > .80). Both judges performed significantly differently on the target investment than on a control investment. Although this is a pilot study with a small sample size and a limited number of sessions, conclusions are that the selection of a judge, even a very experienced judge, can have a significant effect on the success of an ARV project and that judges’ decisions are more affected by the target investments than by a comparable control investment. Future ARV projects are advised to qualify judges for accuracy just as they qualify viewers for accuracy.
