Published: July 2024

Purpose: determination of the clinical course; laboratory and instrumental examination data; and analysis of the effectiveness of COVID-19 treatment in obese children.Materials and methods. 50 children with COVID-19 who were obese and 50 children with this infection who had a normal body weight were under observation. All patients underwent general clinical physical examination; laboratory studies (PCR analysis of smears from the mouth and nasopharynx for SARS-CoV-2 RNA; clinical and biochemical blood tests; general urine analysis; coagulogram; blood test for proteins of the acute phase of inflammation); instrumental studies (pulsoximetry; CT of organs chest). In addition; weight; height and body mass index were determined for all children. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test and the parametric Student t-test for independent samples.Summary. 34% of obese patients had a history of other various background diseases. In this group; 76% of children had contact with acute respiratory infections in the family or organized groups. In both groups; all children had fever and intoxication; sore throat and rhinitis – in 24-36%; vomiting and diarrhea – in 10-12%. Significantly more often in obese patients; symptoms of respiratory tract damage such as cough (98% vs. 62%) and shortness of breath (36% vs. 2%) were observed. The duration of fever; intoxication; cough and shortness of breath in the group of obese patients was significantly higher compared to children in the comparison group. Obese patients had significantly higher CRP levels during hospitalization (18;6 vs. 8;4 mg/l); whereas by the time of discharge the differences had already been leveled (5;5 vs. 1;9 mg/l). In the observation group; the ferritin content was significantly higher relative to the comparison group both upon admission to the hospital (195;1 vs. 62;5 ng/ml) and after the end of the course of treatment (166;7 vs. 54;6 ng/ml). Lung damage according to CT studies in obese patients with COVID-19 was significantly more common than in the comparison group – 59;0±7;0% vs. 8;0±3;8%. They also developed grade I of respiratory failure more often; because the minimum SpO2 was lower than normal and lower relative to children with normal body weight (94;8±2;0% vs. 98;3±0;8%). Obese children required significantly longer treatment of COVID-19 relative to the comparison group for all types of therapy they received. As a result; these patients spent significantly more bed days in the hospital – 9;3±3;6 vs. 6;2±2;0.Conclusion. COVID-19 in obese children is more severe than in patients with normal body weight; which required long-term complex treatment in a hospital.

Published: July 2024

SUMMARY

Objectives:
This in vitro study aimed to assess the impact of incorporating calcium glycerophosphate (CaGP) and sodium fluoride (NaF) in addition to 35% hydrogen peroxide concerning the enamel mechanical and morphological properties.

Methods:
Specimens of bovine enamel were chosen based on their initial surface hardness (SHi) and subsequently divided into five gel groups (n=12): 1) 35% Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) Gel; 2) HP + 0.1% NaF Gel (HP/NaF); 3) HP + 0.25% CaGP Gel (HP/CaGP); 4) HP + 0.1% NaF + 0.25% CaGP Gel (HP/NaF/CaGP) and 5) HP Blue 35% Gel (HP Blue). The bleaching gels were applied thrice, for 40 min, at intervals of 7 days each. After 21 days, the final surface hardness (SHf), integrated hardness (IH), Polydispersity Index (PdI) and Zeta Potential (Zp), surface roughness (Ra, after and before), and surface/structural analysis by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were determined. The data were submitted to ANOVA (one-way and two-way) followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test (α=0.05).

Results:
The addition of NaF to HP reduced demineralization by 11.5% in relation to HP (p&lt;0.05). The NaF/CaGP association reduction is 22.8 and 20% higher in comparison to HP/NaF/CaGP and HP Blue, respectively. The IH when the PH/NaF/CaGP bleaching gel was applied, was 14% higher compared to HP and HP Blue groups.

Conclusions:
It can be concluded that the association of NaF and CaGP with the 35% hydrogen peroxide gel (HP/NaF/CaGP) significantly changed tooth enamel demineralization in terms of surface, depth, roughness, and enamel morphology.
Implementation of Decision Support System for Ecological Environment Planning of Urban Green Space
Authors: Feng Sijing 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
As a highly concentrated residential area, urban development and population concentration have caused serious environmental pollution problems that threaten the safety of the water and atmospheric resources that humans rely on for survival. To address this issue, the importance of urban green space (UGS) has become increasingly prominent. This paper collected data related to UGS (green space coverage, vegetation type, environmental quality, population distribution, etc.) for processing, used the entropy algorithm to build an ecological environment assessment model, and then used the particle swarm optimisation algorithm to optimise the model accordingly. Finally, a decision support system was proposed for UGS ecological environment planning, which comprehensively considered future environmental changes. Through comparison before and after the application of decision support system, this paper tested and verified several indicators such as green space coverage, biological diversity index, and climate adaptability. Among them, after the application of the decision support system, the green space coverage rate has increased year by year, and many indicators in the biological diversity index have improved significantly. The average climate adaptability of traditional UGS planning was 70 %, while the average climate adaptability of decision support system green space planning was 90 %, which has been significantly improved. The outcome shows that the system has a notable effect in improving the climate adaptation and ecological quality of the city.

Ethical codes for public administration – reflection of EU core values or part of national anti-corruption policy? Example of the Czech Republic and Ukraine
Authors: Goncharuk Olga , Tomoszek Maxim 
Published: July 2024

Summary
This article investigates, whether the adoption of ethical codes in the Czech Republic and in Ukraine mainly aim at implementation of EU ethical framework for public administration or should be viewed as a part of national anti-corruption policy. To that end, the article will analyse, whether the ethical codes for public administration in the Czech Republic and Ukraine reflect core principles of EU ethical framework for public administration, or rather contain specific provisions aimed at eliminating corruption. The practical effects of relevant provisions, their enforcement and contribution to elimination of corruption will also be analysed. Besides analysis and comparison of the situation in the Czech Republic and Ukraine, the article aims to identify common experiences and patterns to provide generalization useful for understanding the effect of ethical codes on elimination of corruption and national implementation of European core ethical principles for public administration in wider context of Central and Eastern European post-communist countries, which are still suffering from quite significant rates of corruption and examples of maladministration.
Comparative morphometric and morphological study of the pollen of Beta trigyna, B. vulgaris and B. vulgaris subsp. maritima (Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae sensu APG IV)
Authors: Tsymbalyuk Zoya M. , Ivanova Daniella , Nitsenko Lyudmila M. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Pollen morphology of Beta trigyna, B. vulgaris and B. vulgaris subsp. maritima, last of those studied for the first time, was investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy, based on 10 herbarium specimens. The aim of the study was to provide detailed data on the pollen characteristics of these taxa to identify similarities and differences between them. Pollen grains are pantoporate, spheroidal, circular in outline; small- and medium-sized. Exine sculpture is nanoechinate, tectum is psilate or psilate-perforate. Pore membranes are nanoechinate. Diagnostic relevance of the characters of pollen grains is discussed (pollen and pore diameters, distance between pores and between pore centres, nanoechini size and density, number of nanoechini on pore membranes, structure of columellae). UPGMA dendrograms based on palynological data support the differentiation of B. trigyna (section Corollinae), B. vulgaris and B. vulgaris subsp. maritima (section Beta). The obtained characteristics of pollen grains of Beta species can be used in spore-pollen analysis, especially in identifying the impact of human economic activity in the past.

Authors: Buzieh Samah AbduLateif 
Published: July 2024

Introduction & Background: The quality of clinical training that student nurses get during their practical experience determines the quality of nursing education (Munangatire, et al., 2023; D'Costa, 2016). Nurses play a crucial role in patient care and handling in a variety of health care work environments. Effective clinical environment plays a critical role in preparing nursing and midwifery students by influencing them for learning, which is facing significant problems. One of these issues was the discovery of a significant gap between theory and practice this revealed by many studies (M. AlMekkawi et al., 2020; Boru, 2018; D'Costa, 2016; Peranginangin, 2019). The main responsibility for preparing nursing students is following down on the shoulders of clinical instructors. Therefore, the effective of characteristic of clinical instructors was a pivotal role during the gap in previous studies that concerned determining the instructor effectiveness to be evaluated (Bifftu et al., 2018) was more difficult, there is no research or study in West Bank in Palestine discuss this issue.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of effective clinical instructors from the bachelor (BScN) students’ perspective.

Method: Quantitative cross-sectional descriptive study. To examine how Bachelor's nursing students view clinical teachers' effectiveness, how data was collected and evaluated, and whether demographics affected replies. At An-Najah National University in the West Bank, Palestine, the college of medicine and health sciences' nursing and midwifery department will perform this research. A convenient sample of third- and fourth-year nursing students who met the study's inclusion criteria volunteered to participate, and 100 granted written consent. May–June 2022 questionnaire. In a 2016 Cairo University study by Ismail, Aboushady, and Eswi, the Nursing Clinical Teacher Effectiveness Inventory (NCTEI) was utilized to quantify clinical teacher instructor effectiveness in Arabic. Since 1985, Knox & Mogan developed this.

Results: The bulk of the 76 participants were female 49 (64.5%) and male 27 (35.5%). The average student age was 21.11. Fourth-year students were 32 (42.1%), although third-year students 44 (57.9%) were mostly female (61.2%). Five-domain ordering. The best percentage among the number of students per clinical instructor was 4 students.

Discussion and Conclusions: Clinical instructors must possess effective characteristics to promote clinical teaching practice as the student nurses expected. The finding indicated that the teaching ability had the highest rate (mean 89.79) as the most important characteristics of clinical instructors then nursing competence, evaluation, interpersonal relations, and the lowest one was the personality. This result was consistent with other studies. Clinical instructors need to be oriented to the domains of effective clinical characteristics to present themselves as effective in clinical teaching ability as a role model.

Published: July 2024

Objective: The objective of this work is to evaluate the interaction of entomopathogens and synthetic insecticide with the predator C. cubana, in the larval, pupa, and adult stages.

Method: Bacteria, entomopathogenic viruses, and synthetic insecticide were applied directly to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instar larvae of C. cubana, with a volume of 2 mL of syrup per repetition. Total mortality after ten days, the percentage of pupation, mortality in the pupal stage, and insects that reached the adult stage were evaluated. The data on total mortality, pupation, mortality in the pupal stage, and insects that reached the adult stage were subjected to analysis of variance (F test), the means were compared by the Scott-Knott mean grouping test at 5% probability.

Results and Discussion: The synthetic insecticide provided 100% mortality for C. cubana larvae. The biological products did not provide significant pathogenic action in any of the evaluated parameters and can be used together.

Research Implications: Success in pest management depends, among other factors, on biotic interactions between existing organisms. When two or more organisms are used for biological control, interactions occur between both, and research proves both the occurrence of synergistic interactions, demonstrating the possibility of coexistence of these agents within the same environment, and antagonistic ones, observing negative effects, such as the action of entomopathogens on beneficial insects.

Originality/Value: This research contributes to the knowledge of interactions between entomopathogens and predators, aiming to evaluate the action of entomopathogens on natural enemies, enabling the joint use of these biological control agents in integrated pest management, promoting more sustainable agriculture.

Penerapan Metode Prototype Perancangan Sistem Informasi Pengelolaan Sertifikat Bank BTN KC Cibubur
Authors: Fahlevi Mochamad Afianto , Budiarti Dini , Badrul Mohammad 
Published: July 2024

Sertifikat adalah suatu surat tanda bukti hak yang berlaku sebagai alat pembuktian yang kuat mengenai data fisik dan data yuridis yang termuat didalamnya. Sertifikat merupakan dokumen penting yang harus ada ketika adanya proses KPR sebagai agunan di Bank. Pengelolaan sertifikat memiliki resiko cukup tinggi untuk Perbankan seperti yang dialami oleh BTN Cabang Cibubur. Pengelolaan sertifikat membutuhkan efisiensi waktu dan keakurat data sehingga meminimalisir kesalahan. Saat ini Bank BTN Cabang Cibubur masih menggunakan sistem yang belum terkomputerisasi secara penuh. Masalah yang sering terjadi adalah ketika terjadi percepatan pelunasan KPR, dimana nasabah seharusnya mendapatkan sertifikatnya. Akan tetapi tidak jarang sertifikat masih berada di pihak notaris atau pun pengembang rumah. Penelitian dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mempermudah pengelolaan sertifikat sehingga lebih aman dan memudahkan petugas untuk melakukan pengecekan status sertifikat dengan merancang sebuah sistem informasi pengelolaan sertifikat. Perancangan sistem informasi dibangun dengan menerapkan metode prototype yang terdiri dari tahapan inisiasi, perencanaan proyek, pelaksanaan proyek, pemantauan dan pengendalian proyek, dan yang terakhir tahapan penutupan proyek yang ditandai dengan implementasi sistem informasi yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini menghasilkan Sistem informasi yang dapat membantu petugas untuk meningkatkan kredibilitasnya dan mempermudah dalam mengelola sertifikat sehingga semuanya bisa terkontrol. A certificate is a letter of proof of rights that acts as a strong means of proof regarding the physical data and juridical data contained therein. The certificate is an important document that must exist when there is a mortgage process as collateral at the Bank when the mortgage process is running. Management of certificates has a fairly high risk for banking as experienced by the BTN Cibubur Branch. Certificate management requires time efficiency and data accuracy to minimize errors. Currently, Bank BTN Cibubur Branch still uses a system that is not fully computerized. The problem that often occurs is when there is an acceleration of mortgage repayment, where the customer should get a certificate. However, it is not uncommon for the certificate to still be with the notary or house developer. The research was carried out with the aim of simplifying certificate management so that it is safer and makes it easier for officers to check certificate status by designing a certificate management information system. Information system design is built by applying the prototype method which consists of initiation stages, project planning, project implementation, project monitoring and control, and finally the project closing stage which is marked by the implementation of the resulting information system. This research produces an information system that can help officers increase their credibility and make it easier to manage certificates so that everything can be controlled.
