BackgroundPoor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) occurs when an individual with Human Immune deficiency Virus does not follow the prescribed treatment regimen correctly. This includes missing doses, not taking medication as scheduled, taking medication inconsistently or irregularly, and failing to adhere to specific instructions. The lack of adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among children is a noteworthy issue that necessitates attention. The study aims to determine the level of non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and its associated factors in children receiving ART in public hospitals in the South Wollo Zone.MethodsA multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted among children receiving antiretroviral therapy at South Wollo Zone public hospitals. A single population proportion formula was used to determine the required sample size. A computer-generated simple random sampling method was employed to select the participants. The tools used to assess adherence for all participants were viral load monitoring, Self-reporting, Pill counts, and Pharmacy refill records. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, and reviewing patients’ documents using a structured checklist. The data were entered into Epi Data version 4.1 and analyzed using STATA 17. Binary logistic regression was employed to evaluate the relationship between the factors and the outcome variable. Variables were considered significant if the p-value was less than 0.05.ResultOf 291 participants, 286 were involved in the study, making the response rate 98.3%. The mean age of the participants was 7.8 years old (±3.64 SD), and half of the 146 children (51%) were male. The overall proportion of ART non-adherence was 24.1% (95% CI: 19.2–29.0%). Positive TB status (Adjusted odd ratio (AOR) = 4.10, 95% CI: 1.90–8.88), diagnostic status not disclosed (AOR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.43–5.00), and poor caregiver knowledge (AOR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.04–4.56) were significantly associated with poor adherence.ConclusionAccording to the current study, the level of non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy remains high compared to the targets set by the United Nations Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Project 95-95-95. TB co-infection, undisclosed diagnostic status, and poor caregiver knowledge were found to be significantly associated with non-adherence. Before and throughout ART, healthcare providers should provide intense and ongoing counseling to children and their caregivers.

BackgroundSarcopenia is prevalent in older adults and not only severely affects their health, but also brings a greater economic burden on the patient’s family as well as society. High-quality diet is one of influencing factors of sarcopenia, particularly important for muscle mass and function. This study aims to examine the dietary patterns of community-dwelling older adults in a typical region of China and explore the relationship between these dietary patterns and sarcopenia.MethodsWe used data of the Nutrition and Health Follow-up Study of the Chinese Population in 2021. Food frequency questionnaires were used to obtain food items intake frequency during the last year. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), muscle strength and physical performance were assessed according to the Asian Sarcopenia Working Group (AWGS2019) criteria. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify dietary patterns. Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between dietary patterns and sarcopenia.ResultsA total of 1,967 participants over the age of 65 were included in the study, and the prevalence of sarcopenia was 17.0%. According to the factor loadings of all of the 18 food groups, three dietary patterns were identified. These dietary patterns include the diversified dietary pattern, which is mainly characterized by the intake of soybeans, fungi and algae, animal meat, fruits, and legumes; the traditional dietary pattern, which is mainly defined by the consumption of rice, pork, poultry, vegetables, and aquatic products; and the wheat-based dietary pattern, which is mainly characterized by the intake of wheat, tubers, and other cereals. The diversified dietary pattern (OR = 0.54, p &lt; 0.05) and the traditional dietary pattern (OR = 0.51, p &lt; 0.05) were linked to a lower risk of developing sarcopenia, whereas the wheat-based dietary pattern (OR = 3.54, p &lt; 0.05) was associated with a higher risk of sarcopenia. All three dietary patterns exhibited significantly correlated with muscle mass, grip strength, and physical performance (p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionDietary patterns are associated with sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults in China. Adopting a healthy and sensible balanced diet and avoiding a single dietary preference may reduce the risk of sarcopenia in older adults.

Published: February 2025

BackgroundUterus transplant now offers an alternative deceased donation treatment option for women with uterine infertility. Limited research exists on religious opinions that may impact the addition of the uterus to current multi-organ deceased donor programsObjectiveTo explore the acceptability of uterus transplantation and deceased uterus donation across different religious groups.DesignA cross-sectional survey of 2,497 participants was conducted between October 2022 and January 2023 in NSW Australia. Australia is a culturally and religiously diverse nation with over 60% of people identifying with a religion, including Christianity (43%), Islam (3.2%), Buddhism (2.7%), Hinduism (2.4%). This survey captured awareness and attitudes towards deceased uterus donation. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were used to explore factors influencing organ donation and next-of-kin perceptions.ResultsA total of 2,497 respondents completed the survey. Christians had greater awareness of organ donation but were less likely to be registered donors, or consent to uterus donation. Those of Hindu faith were less likely to be registered organ donors. Next-of-kin from the Islamic faith were reluctant to consent to organ donation if the donor's pre-death wishes were unknown, and less likely to consent to uterus donation. Participants identifying as Buddhist had a higher awareness of uterus transplantation.ConclusionOrgan donor awareness and consent rates varied across religious groups, including for uterus donation. Differences may stem from varying beliefs about bodily integrity, and reproductive rights, which may influence attitudes toward uterus donation. Tailored culturally and linguistically sensitive educational campaigns should address the unique aspects of uterus donation.

ObjectiveThis systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of sublobar resection (SLR) on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Specifically, it compared outcomes between sublobar resection, lobectomy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).MethodsA literature search was conducted across PubMed and Scopus, identifying studies published from 2010 to 2024 that reported QOL outcomes in early-stage NSCLC patients treated with lobectomy, SLR, or SBRT. Inclusion criteria were studies with more than 10 patients, written in English, and using validated QoL metrics. Data on demographics, interventions, QoL tools, and findings were extracted, and study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the ROBINS-I tool.ResultsFive studies involving 1,149 patients from six countries met the inclusion criteria. QoL outcomes consistently favored SLR over lobectomy in domains such as physical and respiratory function, with SLR patients experiencing faster recovery and fewer complications. Minimally invasive techniques, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), further enhanced these outcomes. SBRT demonstrated stable QOL post-treatment but lacked the long-term physical recovery benefits observed with SLR. Commonly employed QoL tools included the EORTC QLQ-C30, Leicester Cough Questionnaire, and NSCLC-PQOL, each capturing distinct dimensions of patient QoL status.ConclusionSublobar resection provides significant QoL benefits for selected early-stage NSCLC patients compared to lobectomy, particularly in respiratory health and recovery endpoints. These findings highlight the value of personalized surgical approaches and the need for further research on optimizing QoL in NSCLC management.

The authors explore the benefi of cooperation between banks and insurance companies while identifying the challenges and development opportunities in today’s market. Modelling and forecasting banking processes in insurance are important aspects of statistical methodology. The application of statistical models and time series analysis enabled forecasting of key trends in insurance activities, allowing for a quick response to market changes and prompting suitable risk management actions. Based on the purpose of the study, the paper analyzes the current status of the insurance market and bancassurance in Russia, examines their dynamics and structure and forecasts bancassurance trends using the trend equation for 2024–2026.It is noted that, for the eff ctive development of bancassurance in the coming years, it is necessary to take several actions to foster sales growth. The implementation of new high-tech solutions by insurers and the enhancement of sales and after-sales services can signifi antly infl e the development of this sector. The main factor for growth in bancassurance remains the recovery of consumer demand and an increase in economic activity.
A.A. Chuprov – An Outstanding Russian Statistician (to the 150th Anniversary of his Birth)
Authors: Eliseeva I. I. , Dmitriev A. I. 
Published: February 2025

Among the great names of representatives of the St. Petersburg school of probability theory – P.L. Chebyshev, A.M. Lyapunov, A.A. Markov – Alexander Alexandrovich Chuprov stands on a par, but apart. However, his contribution to world statistics is no less valuable. The paper offers a brief overview of A.A. Chuprov’s life path and the influence that his father, Alexander Ivanovich Chuprov, had on him, helping his son obtain a double education – both in mathematics and the humanities, and introducing him to zemstvo statistics. The authors highlight the significance of A.A. Chuprov’s book «Essays on the Theory of Statistics» which evoked a keen response from leading Russian scientists and brought him to the forefront of Russian statistical science. In this work, A.A. Chuprov substantiated the need for a statistical method in both social and natural sciences. He consistently advanced the idea of a stochastic world, arguing that all data statisticians work with are nothing more than a sample: they necessarily contain a random component. All of A.A. Chuprov's works focus on finding a priori (true) characteristics based on a posteriori (observed) data. The authors of the article draw attention to A.A. Chuprov's characteristic approach to considering the logic of the statistical method in studying the stability of statistical series, the nature of the correlation relationship, and his broad outlook and understanding of the laws of development of statistical science. The cognitive potential of A.A. Chuprov was formed by a combination of Russian and European education and later by diverse scientific contacts with the foreign scientific community.The article identifies A.A. Chuprov's place as a teacher who managed to create his school of teaching statistics. His contribution to demographic research is emphasized, especially in establishing proportions in the sex ratio and the effect of war on marriage rates. Alexander Chuprov's expertise in philosophy and mathematics, combined with his understanding of the problems of practical statistics, enabled him to foresee the future development of the theory of statistics as a mathematical statistics, i.e. a science in the centre of which are the problems of statistical estimates of general distributions and parameters.
Современные тенденции изменений месячных потоков суммарной солнечной радиации, поступающей на Азиатскую территорию России
Authors: Холопцев А.В. , Шубкин Р.Г. , Бабенышев С.В. 
Published: February 2025

Актуальной проблемой безопасности при чрезвычайных ситуациях является развитие существующих представлений о факторах, значимо влияющих на межгодовые вариации пожароопасности по условиям погоды на различных участках Азиатской территории России. Одним из таких факторов в те или иные месяцы пожароопасного сезона на некоторых участках могут служить изменения месячных потоков поступающей на них суммарной солнечной радиации. На многих участках к числу значимых причин этих изменений относятся вариации оптической плотности, формирующейся над ними облачности, обусловленные динамикой температуры и влажности воздуха соответствующих слоев тропосферы, а также концентраций в них атмосферных ядер конденсации. К весьма активным ядрам конденсации относятся ионы, образующиеся в воздухе в результате входа в атмосферу космических лучей, преодолевших геомагнитное поле. Следовательно, приближение к Азиатской территории России Северного Магнитного полюса способно порождать в изменениях потоков суммарной солнечной радиации, поступающей в рассматриваемые месяцы на некоторые ее участки, те или иные значимые тенденции.
The urgent problem of safety in emergency situations is the development of existing ideas about the factors that significantly affect the inter-annual variations of fire danger by weather conditions in different parts of the Asian territory of Russia. One of such factors in certain months of the fire-hazardous season in some areas can be changes in monthly flows of total solar radiation arriving at them. At many sites, the significant causes of these changes include variations in the optical density of clouds formed above them due to the dynamics of air temperature and humidity of the corresponding troposphere layers and concentrations of atmospheric condensation nuclei in them. The very active condensation nuclei include ions formed in the air as a result of the entry into the atmosphere of cosmic rays that have overcome the geomagnetic field. Consequently, the approach of the North Magnetic Pole to the Asian territory of Russia is capable of generating certain significant trends in the changes in the fluxes of total solar radiation arriving in the months under consideration to some of its areas.
О некоторых особенностях осуществления государственного пожарного надзора в современных условиях
Authors: Седов Д.В. , Кузьмин Д.В. 
Published: February 2025

В статье рассматривается ряд современных тенденций в законодательстве, которые оказывают значительное влияние на деятельность надзорных органов МЧС России. Первая тенденция («мораторий» на проверки) является вынужденной, экономически обоснованной и состоит в ослаблении контроля над деятельностью коммерческих организаций, сокращении плановых и внеплановых проверок соблюдения противопожарных норм. Вторая тенденция состоит в растущем количестве профилактических визитов, которые имеют рекомендательный характер и не оказывают административного давления на контролируемых лиц. Третья тенденция связана с отсутствием в правовом поле определения понятия «угроза жизни и здоровья людей», которое играет принципиальную роль при осуществлении государственного пожарного надзора. Указанные тенденции вызваны как объективными факторами, так и некоторыми правовыми пробелами. Целью статьи является анализ данных тенденций и их влияния на эффективность государственного пожарного надзора. В результате проведенного анализа сделан вывод о том, что «мораторий» на проверки привел к снижению внимания со стороны коммерческих организаций к вопросам обеспечения пожарной безопасности. Профилактические визиты, количество которых ежегодно увеличивается, не оказывают существенного воздействия на данную ситуацию. Отсутствие юридически закрепленного понятия «угроза жизни и здоровью людей» приводит к тому, что надзорные органы МЧС России и органы прокуратуры используют различные подходы к определению данной угрозы.
The article examines a number of modern trends in legislation that have a significant impact on the activities of the supervisory bodies of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. The first trend (the "moratorium" on inspections) is forced, economically justified and consists in weakening control over the activities of commercial organizations, reducing scheduled and unscheduled inspections of compliance with fire safety regulations. The second trend is the growing number of preventive visits, which are advisory in nature and do not exert administrative pressure on the supervised persons. The third trend is associated with the absence in the legal field of a definition of the concept of "threat to life and health of people", which plays a fundamental role in the implementation of state fire supervision. These trends are caused by both objective factors and some legal gaps. The purpose of the article is to analyze these trends and their impact on the effectiveness of state fire supervision. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the "moratorium" on inspections led to a decrease in attention from commercial organizations to fire safety issues. Preventive visits, the number of which increases annually, do not have a significant impact on this situation. The absence of a legally enshrined concept of “threat to human life and health” leads to the fact that the supervisory bodies of the Russian Emergencies Ministry and the prosecutor’s office use different approaches to defining this threat.

Системы пожарной сигнализации играют ключевую роль в обеспечении пожарной безопасности зданий и сооружений. Своевременное обнаружение пожара и оповещение людей о нем позволяет минимизировать материальный ущерб и, что самое главное, спасти жизни. Однако, нередки случаи, когда системы работают некорректно, выдавая ложные срабатывания или, напротив, не срабатывая при реальной угрозе пожара. В статье рассматриваются основные причины возникновения ложных срабатываний и отказов систем пожарной сигнализации, приводятся примеры типичных нарушений. Действительно, проблемы обнаруживаются еще на стадии проекта, когда заказчик пытается минимизировать затраты, иногда без учета особенностей здания, степени пожарной нагрузки. В дальнейшем, трудности могут возникнуть при эксплуатации оборудования из-за неблагоприятных условий окружающей среды, электромагнитных помех, некачественном и несвоевременном техническом обслуживании. По результатам анализа в работе представлена причинно-следственная диаграмма Исикавы, учитывающая широкий комплекс факторов, влияющих на надежность системы пожарной сигнализации. Предлагаются пути повышения надежности и эффективности работы данных устройств. Перспективным решением авторы считают внедрение многокритериальных пожарных извещателей. При этом, авторы указывают на отставание их метрологического обеспечения (в частности, методики испытаний).
Fire alarm systems play a key role in ensuring the fire safety of buildings and structures. Timely detection of a fire and notification of people about it allows you to minimize material damage and, most importantly, save lives. However, it is not uncommon for systems to work incorrectly, giving false alarms or, conversely, not working with a real threat of fire. The article discusses the main causes of false alarms and failures of fire alarm systems, provides examples of typical violations. Indeed, problems are found even at the project stage, when the customer tries to minimize costs, sometimes without taking into account the characteristics of the building, the degree of fire load. In the future, difficulties may arise during the operation of the equipment due to adverse environmental conditions, electromagnetic interference, poor-quality and untimely maintenance. Based on the results of the analysis, the paper presents the Ishikawa causal diagram, which takes into account a wide range of factors affecting the reliability of the fire alarm system. Ways to improve the reliability and efficiency of these devices are proposed. The authors consider the introduction of multi-criteria fire detectors to be a promising solution. At the same time, the authors point to the lag in their metrological support (in particular, test methods).
