Authors: Nguyen Nhu Y. , Anh Tran Ngoc , Nguyen Huu Duy , Dang Dinh Kha 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Accurate precipitation is crucial for hydrological modelling in sparse gauge regions like the Lam River Basin (LRB) in Vietnam. Gridded precipitation data from satellite and numerical models offer significant advantages in such areas. However, satellite precipitation estimates (SPEs) are subject to uncertainties, especially in high variable of topography and precipitation. This study focuses on enhancing the accuracy of Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG), Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH) using the Quantile Mapping (QM) technique, aligning the cumulative distribution functions of the observed precipitation data with those of the SPEs, and assessing the impact on hydrological predictions. The study highlights that the post-correction IMERG precipitation using QM performs better than other data sets, enhancing the hydrological model's performance for the LRB at different temporal scales. Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency values increased from 0.60 to 0.77, surpassing the original IMERG's 0.52 to 0.74, and correlation coefficients improved from 0.79 to 0.89 (compared with the previous 0.75–0.86) for hydrological modelling. Additionally, Percent Bias (PBIAS) decreased from approximately −1.66 to −2.21% (contrasting with the initial −20.22 and 4.6%) with corrected SPEs. These findings have implications for water resource management and disaster risk reduction initiatives in Vietnam and other countries.

Published: July 2024

Introduction
In women of reproductive age, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine illness that has detrimental effects on metabolism, reproduction, the endocrine system, and psychological health. The quality of life for women with PCOS is significantly impacted by its symptoms related to excess androgen and atypical menstruation.

Objective
There is a scarcity of data on female nurses' knowledge concerning PCOS and health-related practices. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, knowledge, and practices of PCOS among female nurses in Lebanon. In addition, we assessed whether these nurses have menstrual irregularities, obesity, hirsutism, extreme acne problems, and whether they are aware of the syndrome or not.

Methods
Using a self-administered questionnaire in Arabic and English languages, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among Lebanese female nurses. Demographic characteristics were reported using descriptive statistics. The differentiating, associating, and correlating characteristics of the variables were reported using inferential statistics.

Results
The vast majority of respondents (91.5%) had good knowledge, and (39.6%) had good health-related practices. Nearly half (47.2%) were suspected to develop PCOS, and 8.5% were diagnosed based on signs and symptoms. According to the study's findings, nurses were unaware of the condition even though many exhibit its symptoms. The study also reported that 31.1% of participants were overweight, and eight (7.5%) were obese.

Conclusion
Despite having knowledge of the PCOS risk factors, females had considerably less practice in related fields of health. Female nurses with suspected or confirmed PCOS should seek immediate medical help since early diagnosis or treatment for PCOS is useful in enhancing their quality of life.
Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index as A Predictor of Mortality and Rehospitalization in Heart Failure Patients

ABSTRACT

Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index as A Predictor of Mortality and Rehospitalization in Heart Failure Patients

Background
Heart failure (HF) is a disease closely associated with inflammation and the Systemic Immune inflammation Index (SII) is a novel inflammatory marker. SII is a combined inflammatory indicator that incorporates three significant immune cells namely neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelets. SII is considered an excellent indicator of local immune response and systemic inflammation. SII is an inexpensive and easily accessible laboratory test in peripheral health facilities.
Research Objective
This study aims to determine whether SII can be used as a predictor of clinical outcomes, which are mortality and rehospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure.
Research Methods
This study is a retrospective cohort study using data of chronic heart failure patients who underwent hospitalization from the HF (Heart Failure) registry of Dr. Sardjito Hospital for the period January 2022 - February 2023. SII was calculated as platelet count × absolute neutrophil count / absolute lymphocyte count.
Results
There were 188 patients who met the inclusion criteria as research subjects from 282 chronic heart failure patients who underwent hospitalization. Subjects had a mean age of 58.80 ± 11.48 years. A total of 67,6% (n=127) of the subjects were male. SII value for mortality based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) cut-off was 1459,59 (area under curve (AUC) 0.600, sensitivity (Sn) 55,6%, specificity (Sp) 68,8%) and the ROC cut-off for rehospitalization was 0,474. Kaplan-Meier analysis of SII with mortality, subjects with high SII values (>1459.59) had a 50,5% survival rate with a mean survival of 8,5 months and low SII (<1459.59) had a 74% survival rate with a mean survival of 9,9 months. Multivariate regression analysis found SII as an independent predictor of mortality odds ratio (OR 3,08, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1,59 – 5,95, p=<0.001) but not significant for rehospitalization.
Conclusion
Systemic Immune-inflammation Index (SII) is an independent predictor of mortality, but not a predictor of rehospitalization in chronic heart failure patients undergoing hospitalization.

Keywords: Systemic Immune-inflammation Index (SII), heart failure (HF), mortality and rehospitalization
3D Echocardiographic Assesment of Left Ventricle Size and Function with Automated Adaptive Software in Patients with Right Heart Dominant
Authors: Marsam Real Kusumanjaya , Soesanto Amiliana Mardiani , Soeryo Kuncoro Ario 
Published: July 2024

Introduction : Echocardiography is a fundamental tool for assessing cardiac chamber size and function, with evolving technologies like real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) and automated quantification software offering new possibilities. This study aims to validate left ventricular (LV) measurements obtained through automated quantification software against manual 3DE and 2D measurements, explore the relationship between these measurement techniques, and compare their reproducibility and analysis time.
Methods : A total of 60 patients with uncorrected severe mitral stenosis (MS) and atrial septal defect (ASD) underwent echocardiography. Automated and manual 3DE measurements were compared, with subgroup analysis for software performance. Analysis times were also assessed.
Results : The automated quantification software did not work in 16 patients, with notable differences in tricuspid regurgitation parameters. Automated 3DE measurements yielded larger LV volumes than manual 3DE measurements, while LV ejection fraction (LVEF) measurements were smaller. Good correlations were observed, but agreement analysis revealed significant differences between the two methods. The use of automated software significantly reduced analysis time.
Conclusions : Automated quantification software can effectively measure LV parameters in patients with MS and ASD, significantly reducing analysis time. However, manual methods may still be necessary in cases with structural changes or unique anatomical conditions, emphasizing the importance of selecting the appropriate measurement technique for specific patient populations.

Seeing the Trees: How a Concrete versus Abstract Mindset Improves Performance on Low-Level Assurance Tasks
Authors: Herda David N. , Lauck John R. 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Prior research shows that individuals benefit from abstract construals when performing broader high-level assurance tasks. We extend this research by studying the effects of different construal mindsets on skepticism and performance in a low-level assurance task setting. Using a sample of 195 online participants, we find that individuals benefit from concrete (versus abstract) mindsets when performing low-level assurance tasks because concrete construals better allow them to focus on detailed evidence that may contradict client assertions. Specifically, we show that assurance providers who utilize a concrete (abstract) construal mindset when performing a low-level task display better (worse) skeptical judgments and actions. Taken together with findings from past research, our results support the notion that assurance providers should utilize the construal mindset that best matches the characteristics of the task at hand. Exploratory analysis suggests that client retention incentives may moderate the relationship between skeptical judgment and skeptical action in our context.

Published: July 2024

SUMMARY
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, remote and hybrid audits have become institutionalized in the external audit profession. However, the impact of remote/hybrid audits on audit success (i.e., audit quality, audit efficiency, and auditor job satisfaction) is not clearly understood. Recruiting external auditors (including audit associates, audit seniors, audit managers, and audit partners) with an average of three to five years of auditing experience, Li, Goel, and Williams (2023) found that working remotely is associated with high audit efficiency. They also found that in comparison to on-site audits, remote audits show increases in technology reliance, professional skepticism, workload, fatigue and frustration, risk-seeking attitudes, and team monitoring rigidity and decreases in auditor–client communication and cooperation efficiency. Furthermore, Li et al. (2023) identified situational and dispositional factors that become critical in remote/hybrid audits. We summarize the key findings of their paper and provide actionable suggestions for audit practitioners.

Published: July 2024

Growth arrest–specific 6 (GAS6) is a secreted protein that acts as a ligand for TAM receptors (TYRO3, AXL, and MERTK). In humans, GAS6 circulating levels and genetic variations in GAS6 are associated with hyperglycemia and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanisms by which GAS6 influences glucose metabolism are not understood. Here, we show that Gas6 deficiency in mice increases insulin sensitivity and protects from diet-induced insulin resistance. Conversely, increasing GAS6 circulating levels is sufficient to reduce insulin sensitivity in vivo. GAS6 inhibits the activation of the insulin receptor (IR) and reduces insulin response in muscle cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, AXL and IR form a complex, while GAS6 reprograms signaling pathways downstream of IR. This results in increased IR endocytosis following insulin treatment. This study contributes to a better understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which GAS6 and AXL influence insulin sensitivity.

Early-Life Factors Associated With Adult-Onset Type 1 Diabetes: A Swedish Nationwide Cohort and Family-Based Study
Authors: Amadou Coralie , Wei Yuxia , Feychting Maria , Carlsson Sofia 
Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVE
Childhood-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with perinatal factors, but data related to adult-onset T1D are scarce. This study aimed at investigating the association between early-life factors and adult-onset T1D in a Swedish nationwide cohort and family-based study.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We included 1,813,415 individuals aged ≥18 years, born in Sweden 1983 to 2002, followed until 2020. T1D diagnosis (n = 3,283) was identified from the National Diabetes, Patient and Prescribed Drugs Registers, and perinatal exposures were obtained from the Medical Birth Register. We performed Cox proportional hazard (hazard ratio [95% CI]) regression with mutual adjustment for perinatal exposures, sex, birth year, and parental sociodemographic background and history of diabetes. We also compared T1D risks among siblings’ groups identified from the Multiple Generation Register.

RESULTS
The incidence rate of adult-onset T1D was 18.8 per 100,000 person-years. Year of birth (1.06 [1.01–1.10], per five additional years) and history of maternal (4.10 [3.09–5.43]) and paternal (6.24 [5.10–7.64]) T1D were associated with a higher incidence of adult-onset T1D, whereas female sex (0.69 [0.64–0.74]) and having parents born outside Sweden were associated with a lower incidence. Regarding perinatal exposures, only non–full-term birth (&lt;39 weeks vs. ≥39 weeks) was associated with a higher incidence of adult-onset T1D (1.12 [1.04–1.22]). The sibling cohort results were consistent with the full cohort analysis.

CONCLUSIONS
Perinatal factors seem to play a minor role in the development of adult-onset T1D compared with childhood-onset T1D, suggesting that triggers or accelerators of autoimmunity occurring later in life are more significant.

SIMPLE WORDS IN ANCIENT ARMENIAN LANGUAGE (GRABAR), COMBINING ADJECTIVE/NOUN MEANINGS
Authors: Harutyunyan Anahit 
Published: July 2024

In grabar there are words with morphological meaning that is split between different parts of the speech. Combinations of more than one speech category represent those words. Those words are referred to as multiple-meaning words.
Morphologically polysemantic words in diachronic reality, in the synchronic aspect of the language, can equally combine more than one morphological meaning with the associated syntactic functions.
Units belonging to different parts of speech, being in one group or another (noun, adjective, etc.), i.e. grouped according to some common semantic, morphological and syntactic features, nevertheless undergo changes to one degree or another in the course of the historical development of language, because language is a constantly developing phenomenon.
In this article, we examined the simple words in grabar, that combine the adjective/noun morphology, and acquired multiple meaning as a result of speech part transitions. Syntactic use of such terms expresses their morphological meanings.
According to syntactic application, an adjective becomes a noun when it receives a suffix and a declension and takes on the subject meaning of the complimentary word.
Frequent use of adjectives as nouns can split their basic partial meaning and undergo substantiation.
Particularly, adjectives that go with personal nouns are entrenched in the language as characteristic terms as well as personal nouns since they are used interchangeably.
Words that combine adjective/noun meanings are met in grabar grammar books under the term "medium". Due to their lexical features, these words express:

a) personality and personality characteristics,
b) personality and characteristics of the person and subject.

In the article, we examined different layers of the vocabulary, which gave the vocabulary imagery and expressiveness, and we examined the above mentioned in the speech of the author and characters.

As a result of examining the vocabulary of the story, the features of the writer's language became clear to us. We noticed that in the author's speech we find not only words belonging to the literary layer, but also dialect words, with which he approaches the speech of the characters he created.
In the story, the speech of the characters is dominated by words belonging to folk and dialect layers. Their stylistic manifestations contribute to the image system of the work being more impressive.
Many words are borrowed from other languages ​​such as Persian, Georgian, Turkish, Assyrian, Arabic, etc. Many of them have been used in speech for a long time and have become assimilated into the language. Barbarisms were also used in the work.
In order to personalize the speech of the heroes, the author tried to use various idioms in their language, which are the result of national thinking.
True applications of vocative cases and interjections give great stylistic charges to the work and create a characteristic of time and space.
NERSES SHNORHALI IN THE EVALUATION OF FRENCH AND FRENCH-SPEAKING FOREIGN ARMENOLOGISTS
Authors: DOLUKHANYAN AELITA 
Published: July 2024

French and French-speaking foreign scholars studying Armenian medieval literature could not help but pay special attention to the literary heritage of Nerses Shnorhali. Firstly, the fame of Shnorhali went beyond the borders of both Cilician Armenia and Greater Armenia. Secondly, he was a prominent theologian, politician and chronicler who brought great innovations to Armenian literature. Certain types of Shnorhali’s works are closely related to early Renaissance thinking. As writes Frederic Feidy, the most prominent armenologist of the second half of the twentieth century, in the preface to the French translation of the complete collection of the epic David of Sasun, published in Paris in 1964, Shnorhali played a very important role in strengthening the Christian spirit among the Armenian people. Nerses Shnorhali, born three quarters of a century before François of Assises, became a proponent of the reform known as Gallicism.
Shnorhali tried to bring Christianity closer to believing people. The result of his innovation was the lyrics, created in the language of the people, which was highly understandable to the broad masses of his time. Folk lyrics boldly entered Armenian literature.
The founder of Armenian studies in France, A.-J. Saint-Martin paid great attention to the works of Nerses Shnorhali. According to his gifted student Marie Félicité Brosset, he planned to translate the works of Schnorhali. This plan did not come to fruition due to the untimely death of Saint-Martin.
Édouard Dulaurier gave a detailed reference to Shnorhali's historical verse work Epic Verses which included a French translation of the Lamentations on Edessa, written in 1145, in the huge book "Collection of Armenian Documents of the Historians of the Crusaders", with appropriate comments and annotations.
The Belgian French-speaking Armenologist Félix Nève, in his monumental work Christian Armenia and Its Literature, published in Louvain in 1886, devoted a separate section to the work of Nerses Shnorhali, also translating his hymns. Felix Nève's book most fully presents the personality and work of Shnorhali, emphasizing the innovative nature of his work.
French armenologists spoke with admiration of the work of Nerses Shnorhali, emphasizing both his national and universal orientation.
