Opportunities and Problems of Analysis of Mortality from Myocardial Infarction According to Medical Certificates of Death (on the Example of the Tula Region)
Authors: Drapkina O. M. , Samorodskaya I. V. , Vaisman D. Sh. 
Published: July 2019

Aim: to analyze the quality of completion medical certificates of death (MCD) of residents of the Tula region, in which in 2017 acute and subsequent myocardial infarction (MI) was listed as the underlying cause of death (UCD) or as multiple causes of death (MC).Materials and methods. From the electronic database (DB) of MCD of residents of Tula region for 2017 we selected all MSD in which MI was written down irrespective of a section of MCD. A total of 689 MSD (43.8% men and 56.2% women) were analyzed.Results. Mean age of the deceased was 72.6±11.3 years (men 67.25±0.62; women 76.7±9.8; p<0.001). Multimorbid pathology was registered in 31.5% of the deceased. In 77.9% of cases myocardial infarction was selected as the UCD and in 22.1% – as a complication of other diseases. Among registered MI complications were hemotamponade (24.5%), cardiogenic shock (3.6%), ventricular fibrillation (0.3%), heart failure (50.2%). Complications of MI were not listed in 3.9% of MCD. Analysis of MCD showed that their completion did not comply with established ICD-10 rules and recommendations of Ministry of Health of RF; all lines were filled out only in 1% of completed MCD. Also, problems of determining the initial cause of death when myocardial infarction occurred in the presence of multimorbid pathology were revealed.Conclusion. Mortality analysis using solely UCD leads to decreasing mortality rates from MI, and unsatisfactory quality of filling the MCD decreases the ability to identify MC, that prevents the correction of priorities in the organization of medical care. The revealed problems of coding causes of death require urgent solutions from the professional community of cardiologists, pathologists, and the Ministry of Health.
The right to education as a fundamental human right
Authors: Zendeli Emine 
Published: July 2019

The right to education is a fundamental human right proclaimed by Articles 13 and 14 of the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966). Ratifying this document, state parties fully agree â€˜that education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and the sense of its dignity, and shall strengthen the respect for human rights and fundamental freedomsâ€™. The right to education is considered as a fundamental human right in a series of other 20th century international documents, which guarantee and protect this right for everyone, irrespective of race, colour, religion, gender, social status, etc. This paper aims to respond to questions on the observance of this right and whether it has been limited. The research is based on international documents that regulate this specific category, as well as on the respective legislation and practice within educational institutions in the Republic of Macedonia.
Keywords: Education, fundamental human rights, covenant, law.

Simulations of In-Situ Upgrading Process: Interpretation of Laboratory Experiments and Study of Field-Scale Test
Authors: Perez–Perez A.. , Mujica Chacín M.. , Bogdanov I.. , Brisset A.. , Garnier O.. 
Published: July 2019

Summary
In–situ upgrading (IU) is a promising method of improved viscous– and heavy–oil recovery. The IU process implies a reservoir heating up and exposure to a temperature higher than 300°C for a time period long enough to promote a series of chemical reactions. The pyrolysis reactions produce lighter oleic and gaseous components, while a solid residue remains underground. In this work, we developed a numerical model of IU using laboratory experience (kinetics measurements and core experiments) and validated the results by applying our model to an IU field–scale test published in the literature. Finally, we studied different operational conditions in a search for energy–efficient configurations.
In this work, two types of IU experimental data are used from two vertical–tube experiments with Canadian bitumen cores (0.15 and 0.69 m). A general IU numerical model for the different experimental setups has been developed and compared with experimental data, using a commercial reservoir–simulator framework. This model is capable of representing the phase distribution of pseudocomponents, the thermal decomposition reactions of bitumen fractions, and the generation of gases and residue (solid) under thermal cracking conditions.
Simulation results for the cores exposed to a temperature of 380°C and production pressure of 15 bar have shown that oil production (per pseudocomponent) and oil–sample quality were well–predicted by the model. Some differences in gas production and total solid residue were observed with respect to laboratory measurements. Computer–assisted history matching was performed using an uncertainty–analysis tool with the most–important model parameters. To better understand IU field–scale test results, the Shell Viking pilot (Peace River) was modeled and analyzed with the proposed IU model. The appropriate gridblock size was determined and the calculation time was reduced using the adaptive mesh–refinement (AMR) technique. The quality of products, the recovery efficiency, and the energy expenses obtained with our model were in good agreement with the field test results. In addition, the conversion results (upgraded oil, gas, and solid residue) from the experiments were compared with those obtained in the field test. Additional analysis was performed to identify energy–efficient configurations and to understand the role of some key variables (e.g., heating period and rate and the production pressure) in the global IU upgrading performance. We discuss these results, which illustrate and quantify the interplay between energy efficiency and productivity indicators.
Effects of Health Education Intervention Using Health Belief Model on Haemoglobin Level Among Anaemic Pregnant Women in rural Malaysia: a quasi–experimental study
Authors: Hassan Hasneezah , Manaf Rosliza Abdul , S Salmiah Md , Appannah Geeta , Rosli Rozita 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background

Anaemia in pregnancy is a problem threatening public health throughout the world especially in the developing countries. Current anaemia prevention programme in Malaysia includes oral iron supplementation and health education. However, the effect of the existing intervention in ensuring compliance to the subscribed regimen and the impact of nutrition education in enhancing dietary modification during pregnancy were minimal. This study aims to develop, implement and evaluate the effects of a theory-based health educational intervention using Health Belief Model (HBM) on haemoglobin level among anaemic pregnant women.

Methods

This is a quasi-experimental research with pre-post test design with control group involving 81 participants per group from two health clinics in Sepang, Malaysia. The primary outcome was haemoglobin level. Secondary outcome include knowledge on anaemia, HBM constructs, dietary iron intake and compliance towards iron supplementation. Both groups received routine antenatal care. Additionally, the intervention group received a theory-based health education intervention programme.

Results

The response rate in the intervention and control group were 83.9% and 82.7% respectively. Generalized estimating equations analysis showed that the intervention was effective in improving the mean haemoglobin level (β=0.75, 95%CI=0.52, 0.99, P<0.001), the knowledge score (β=1.42, 95%CI=0.36, 2.49, P=0.009), perceived severity score (β=2.2, 95%CI= 1.02, 3.39, P<0.001) and increased proportion of high compliance level (AOR=4.59, 95%CI=1.58, 13.35, P=0.005).

Conclusion

Health education intervention based on the HBM is proven to be effective in improving the mean haemoglobin level, knowledge score, perceived severity score and compliance level of participants. The study results emphasized on the effectiveness of such an approach, therefore it is recommended that future educational interventions which aim at increasing preventive healthy behaviours in pregnant women could benefit from applying this model in primary health care settings.

Published: July 2019

Background:
Obesity is a global epidemic which is associated with several cardiometabolic
comorbidities and is characterized by chronic, low grade systemic inflammation. Numerous biomarkers
have been implicated in the pathophysiology of the disease, including transcription factors and
coregulators. Steroid Receptor Coactivator (SRC)-family represent the master regulators of metabolic
pathways and their dysregulation is strongly associated with numerous metabolic disorders.

Methods:
50 morbidly obese patients participated in the present study. Biopsies were collected from
visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, extra-myocellular adipose tissue
and liver. We evaluated the differential protein expression of NFATc1, SRC-2/TIF-2, SRC-3/AIB-1
and inflammatory biomarkers CD68 and CD3 by immunohistochemistry. The current study was designed
to determine any correlations between the transcription factor NFATc1 and the SRC coregulators,
as well as any associations with the inflammatory biomarkers.

Results:
We identified SRC-3 as a hepatic NFATc1 coactivator and we demonstrated its possible role
in energy homeostasis and lipid metabolism. Moreover, we revealed a complex and extensive intraand
inter-tissue network among the three main investigated proteins and the inflammatory biomarkers,
suggesting their potential participation in the obesity-induced inflammatory cascade.

Conclusions:
Steroid receptor coactivators are critical regulators of human metabolism with pleiotropic
and tissue-specific actions. We believe that our study will contribute to the better understanding of the
complex multi-tissue interactions that are disrupted in obesity and can therefore lead to numerous cardiometabolic
diseases. Further on, our present findings suggest that SRC-3/AIB-1 could constitute
possible future drug targets.
A Reinforcement Learning–Based Method for Management of Type 1 Diabetes: Exploratory Study

Published: July 2019

BackgroundType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by chronic insulin deficiency and consequent hyperglycemia. Patients with T1DM require long-term exogenous insulin therapy to regulate blood glucose levels and prevent the long-term complications of the disease. Currently, there are no effective algorithms that consider the unique characteristics of T1DM patients to automatically recommend personalized insulin dosage levels.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to develop and validate a general reinforcement learning (RL) framework for the personalized treatment of T1DM using clinical data.MethodsThis research presents a model-free data-driven RL algorithm, namely Q-learning, that recommends insulin doses to regulate the blood glucose level of a T1DM patient, considering his or her state defined by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, body mass index, engagement in physical activity, and alcohol usage. In this approach, the RL agent identifies the different states of the patient by exploring the patient’s responses when he or she is subjected to varying insulin doses. On the basis of the result of a treatment action at time step t, the RL agent receives a numeric reward, positive or negative. The reward is calculated as a function of the difference between the actual blood glucose level achieved in response to the insulin dose and the targeted HbA1c level. The RL agent was trained on 10 years of clinical data of patients treated at the Mass General Hospital.ResultsA total of 87 patients were included in the training set. The mean age of these patients was 53 years, 59% (51/87) were male, 86% (75/87) were white, and 47% (41/87) were married. The performance of the RL agent was evaluated on 60 test cases. RL agent–recommended insulin dosage interval includes the actual dose prescribed by the physician in 53 out of 60 cases (53/60, 88%).ConclusionsThis exploratory study demonstrates that an RL algorithm can be used to recommend personalized insulin doses to achieve adequate glycemic control in patients with T1DM. However, further investigation in a larger sample of patients is needed to confirm these findings.
Effectiveness of the Volunteer Family Connect Program in Reducing Isolation of Vulnerable Families and Supporting Their Parenting: Randomized Controlled Trial With Intention-To-Treat Analysis of Primary Outcome Variables
Authors: Grace Rebekah , Baird Kelly , Elcombe Emma , Webster Vana , Barnes Jacqueline , Kemp Lynn 
Published: July 2019

Background
Volunteer home visiting is a widely adopted community-based approach to support families by linking isolated or vulnerable families with community volunteers who visit their homes weekly over approximately 12 months. This study seeks to robustly evaluate the effectiveness of this model of support for families with young children.

Objective
This paper reports the intention-to-treat analysis of primary and secondary outcomes for a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Volunteer Family Connect intervention, a volunteer home-visiting program designed to support families with young children who experience social isolation or a lack of parenting confidence and skills.

Methods
The RCT was conducted across seven sites in Australia. Overall, 341 families were recruited: 169 intervention (services as usual+volunteer home visits) and 172 control (services as usual) families. Intervention families received the program for 3-12 months. Participants were invited to complete six data collection points over a 15-month period. Primary outcomes were community connectedness and parenting competence. Secondary outcomes included parent physical and mental health, general parent wellbeing, parent empowerment, the sustainability of family routines, and the parent-child relationship. According to the protocol, the program would be judged to be effective if at least one of the primary outcomes was significantly positive and the other was neutral (ie, intervention families did not demonstrate positive or negative outcomes compared to the control group).

Results
The intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in the primary outcome variable parenting sense of competence as compared to the control group. Overall, there was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups with regard to the primary outcome variable community connectedness, other than on the “Guidance” subscale of the Social Provisions Scale. Because there were statistically significant findings for the total score of one primary outcome variable “parenting sense of competence” and largely neutral findings for the primary outcome variable “community connectedness,” the program met the previously defined criteria for program effectiveness. In relation to secondary outcomes, intervention families reported significantly higher wellbeing and were significantly more likely to feel that life was improving.

Conclusions
The Volunteer Family Connect intervention was considered an effective intervention, with a role to play on the landscape of services available to support vulnerable families with young children.
