:
The novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that has emerged and spread throughout the world
causing CoV disease-19 (COVID-19) has since its discovery affected not only humans and animals but
also the environment. Because of the highly infectious nature of the virus, and the respiratory aerosol
transmission route, face masks and personal protective equipment have become mandatory for public
and healthcare workers, respectively. Also, the complex nature of the pathogenicity of the virus, wherein,
it has been associated with mild, moderate, and severe life-threatening infections, has warranted increased
laboratory testing and placing the infected people in isolation and under constant observation in
quarantine centers or at dedicated hospitals. Some infected people, who are generally healthy, and do
not show symptoms have been placed in home quarantines. At this juncture, there has been increased
amount of Biomedical Waste (BMW), and infectious general waste along with plastic disposable recyclable
and non-recyclable waste. The increased BMW along with the potentially hazardous plastic
waste collection, segregation, transport, and disposal has assumed increased significance during the
ongoing pandemic. Therefore, this review attempts to investigate the current scenario of BMW management
and strategies to minimize BMW and prevent potential environmental pollution.

Published: September 2021

Background:
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection represents a global problem, and it is
related to both hepatic and extra-hepatic manifestations (e.g., xerophthalmia). New direct-acting antivirals
(DAAs), IFN-free treatments, are commonly used to manage HCV infection. However, the
impact of new DAAs on dry eyes (xerophthalmia) is lacking. In this study, we evaluated its incidence
in HCV patients and the effect of DAAs on this manifestation.

Methods:
We performed an observational open-label non-randomized study in HCV patients from
01 April 2018 to 01 June 2020.

Results :
Patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria underwent clinical and laboratory evaluation,
Schirmer's test, and Break-up time test. Enrolled patients were divided in two groups: Group 1:
HCV patients with xerophthalmia: 24 patients (16 male and 8 female), HCV-RNA 2,685,813 ±
1,145,698; Group 2: HCV patients without xerophthalmia: 35 patients (19 male and 16 female),
HCV-RNA 2,614,757 ± 2,820,433. The follow-ups (3 and 6 months after the enrollment) documented
an improvement in both eyes’ manifestations and HCV-infection (HCV-RNA undetected).

Conclusion:
In conclusion, in this study, we reported that xerophthalmia could appear in HCV patients,
and DAAs treatment reduces this manifestation without the development of adverse drug reactions.

Published: September 2021

Background
During the year 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic spread from China to the rest of the world, which prompted the world to implement a widespread mandated quarantine or social isolation. The impending uncertainty of the pandemic must have resulted in a variety of widespread mental health maladies. There has been documentation in the literature about a lot of these in small populations of the world but limited studies have been conducted in India, leading to limited evidence in the literature.

Objective
The main objective of our study is to investigate the mental health effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the general population in India both quantitatively and qualitatively. These results will help contribute to reducing the knowledge gap that is recognized in the literature, which is the result of the unprecedented and novel nature of the pandemic.

Methods
We designed and validated our own questionnaire and used the method of circulating the questionnaire via WhatsApp (Facebook Inc). WhatsApp is a social media app that is very popularly used in India; hence, it turned out to be an effective medium for gathering pilot data. We analyzed the pilot data and used them to validate the questionnaire. This was done with the expertise of our mentor, Nilima Shah, MD (psychiatry). We gathered pilot data on 545 subjects and used the results to determine the changes that were needed for the questionnaire while simultaneously validating the questionnaire.

Results
The study protocol was approved in September 2020 by the institutional review board at Vadilal Sarabhai General Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Conclusions
The following preliminary assumptions can be made about the study based on the pilot data: the majority of the survey respondents were male (289/545, 53%), most of them were educated and employed as health care workers (199/545, 36.5%). The majority of the responders were self-employed (185/545, 33.9%), single (297/545, 54.5%), and stayed with their families (427/541, 79%) for the lockdown, which helped them psychologically. Findings that are specific to mental health have been elaborated upon in the manuscript. It is evident from the data collected in previous literature that the pandemic has had significant detrimental effects on the mental health of a vast proportion of the Indian population.

BackgroundSmoking prevalence rates among people with HIV are nearly 3 times higher than those in the general population. Nevertheless, few smoking cessation trials targeting smokers with HIV have been reported in the literature. Efforts to develop and evaluate sustainable, low-cost, and evidence-based cessation interventions for people with HIV are needed. Given the widespread proliferation of mobile phones, the potential of using mobile health apps to improve the reach and efficacy of cessation interventions is promising, but evidence of efficacy is lacking, particularly among people with HIV.ObjectiveThis study will consist of a 2-group randomized controlled trial to evaluate a fully automated smartphone intervention for people with HIV seeking cessation treatment.MethodsParticipants (N=500) will be randomized to receive either standard treatment (ST; 250/500, 50%) or automated treatment (AT; 250/500, 50%). ST participants will be connected to the Florida Quitline and will receive nicotine replacement therapy in the form of transdermal patches and lozenges. This approach, referred to as Ask Advise Connect, was developed by our team and has been implemented in numerous health systems. ST will be compared with AT, a fully automated behavioral treatment approach. AT participants will receive nicotine replacement therapy and an interactive smartphone-based intervention that comprises individually tailored audiovisual and text content. The major goal is to determine whether AT performs better in terms of facilitating long-term smoking abstinence than the more resource-intensive ST approach. Our primary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of AT in facilitating smoking cessation among people with HIV. As a secondary aim, we will explore potential mediators and moderators and conduct economic evaluations to assess the cost and cost-effectiveness of AT compared with ST.ResultsThe intervention content has been developed and finalized. Recruitment and enrollment will begin in the fall of 2021.ConclusionsThere is a critical need for efficacious, cost-effective, and sustainable cessation treatments for people with HIV who smoke. The AT intervention was designed to help fill this need. If efficacy is established, the AT approach will be readily adoptable by HIV clinics and community-based organizations, and it will offer an efficient way to allocate limited public health resources to tobacco control interventions.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT05014282; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05014282International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)PRR1-10.2196/33183

Dywersyfikacja a wysokość dochodów własnych bieżących w powiatach grodzkich i ziemskich
Authors: Będzieszak Marcin 
Published: September 2021

Przedmiot badań: Jednostki samorządu terytorialnego w swojej działalności realizują politykę dochodową, którą obserwować należy pod kątem efektywniejszego wykorzystywania niepodat­kowych źródeł dochodów, takich jak opłaty czy dochody z majątku, lub wprowadzania nowych. W samorządach można w związku z tym zaobserwować efekt dywersyfikacji dochodów.
Cel badawczy: Celem badania było określenie siły wpływu dywersyfikacji, z uwzględnieniem innych czynników ekonomicznych, na wysokość dochodów własnych bieżących per capita w po­wiatach ziemskich i grodzkich w Polsce.
Metoda badawcza: By zrealizować cel wykorzystano analizę panelową, odrębnie dla wszyst­kich powiatów ziemskich i grodzkich. Estymacji wyników dokonano przy wykorzystaniu dwóch metod: metody najmniejszych kwadratów oraz analizy panelowej o ustalonych efektach. Dywer­syfikacja dochodów własnych bieżących mierzona była z pomocą wskaźnika indeks Hirsha-Her­findahla.
Wyniki: Przeprowadzone badanie potwierdza hipotezę o ujemnej zależności dochodów własnych bieżących per capita od indeksu HHI, tj. wraz ze wzrostem stopnia dywersyfikacji dochodów własnych bieżących ich wysokość per capita wzrasta. Wzrost ten wynosi 301–403 zł w powiatach grodzkich oraz mniej niż 17 zł w powiatach ziemskich, przy spadku indeksu HHI o 0,1. Dodat­kowo czynnikami w sposób istotny i jednoznaczny wpływającymi na wysokość dochodów wła­snych bieżących są: wysokość wynagrodzeń oraz liczba przedsiębiorstw działających na terenie powiatów – w obu przypadkach wpływ jest pozytywny.
Error of small parameter methods in solving shortened equations of a synchronized oscillator
Authors: Rapin V.V. 
Published: September 2021

The paper considers the use of recently appeared analytical methods for solving shortened equations of a synchronized oscillator. These are a quasi-small parameter method and a combined small parameter method. Both methods use the classic small parameter method. A peculiarity of their application is that in this case they are used for solving nonlinear differential equations that do not contain a small parameter. The difference between the above methods is in obtaining the equations of the first approximation. In the quasi-small parameter method, they are linear differential equations obtained by linearizing the original nonlinear differential equations in the area of the zero frequency detuning. In the combined small parameter method, the equations of the first approximation are obtained by approximating the original nonlinear differential equations. Of course, a number of transformations of these equations were made for this. The approximation made it possible to obtain better representation of the original nonlinear differential equations by means of linear differential equations. This representation provided a smaller error, which in both cases was presented as a discrepancy. The discrepancy does not allow obtaining a relative error and investigating its peculiarity.
A study of the relative error of the quasi-small parameter method shows that this error is a continuous function of the frequency detuning with a zero value for a zero frequency detuning.
A function representing relative error has a gap at zero frequency detuning for the combined small parameter method. However, this kind of gap can be eliminated by additional function definition.

Published: September 2021

The problem that often arises in insurance companies is the number of customers who do not smoothly pay premiums. The procedure that applies to the insurance during the grace period is 30 days. The insured customer must follow the premium payment procedure, if the customer does not pay the premium, the insurance policy will be canceled, this is part of the company's loss. An insurance company has a lot of data and this data can be processed to produce information on how to find out potential customer delays from a pattern formed using the C4.5 method. This research was conducted by applying the C4.5 algorithm using insurance customer data. The results of this study are a classification system for late payment of insurance premiums that can classify insurance customer premium payment status as a consideration for accepting insurance customers. The system test results show that the system can classify the status of insurance customer premium payments with a classification accuracy of 88%.

Higher Education facilitates the process of Internship students through several stages, which can be taken by students after fulfilling the requirements. The Process of Internship, starting with making an official letter of submission to the company where the internship is accompanied by the submission of proposals internships until the implementation of Internship Work in the company is completed. After the internship process is completed students then make a report Internship. Readiness of Study Program to the Faculty in managing the process of implementation of internship work vary. Especially readiness when the Study Program enrolls students until obtaining the scheduling of the seminar report Internship.
Universities that have fewer students may not be a problem. But if universities have a large number of Faculties and Study Programs, so the number of active students owned is also a lot, this can be the first step of the complexity of a system. The problems that arise are conflicting schedules of supervisors, examiners and rooms.
To facilitate the implementation of the process, e-Magang application is made to help the application process of Internship. The e-Internship application is built with the phase flow of the Scrum SDLC method in Project Management.
