Authors: Wang Qiang , Yang Liuqing , Xiu Shixin , Shen Yuan , Jin Hui , Lin Leesa 
Published: June 2024

Background
Predicting vaccination behaviors accurately could provide insights for health care professionals to develop targeted interventions.

Objective
The aim of this study was to develop predictive models for influenza vaccination behavior among children in China.

Methods
We obtained data from a prospective observational study in Wuxi, eastern China. The predicted outcome was individual-level vaccine uptake and covariates included sociodemographics of the child and parent, parental vaccine hesitancy, perceptions of convenience to the clinic, satisfaction with clinic services, and willingness to vaccinate. Bayesian networks, logistic regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, support vector machine (SVM), naive Bayes (NB), random forest (RF), and decision tree classifiers were used to construct prediction models. Various performance metrics, including area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the different models. Receiver operating characteristic curves and calibration plots were used to assess model performance.

Results
A total of 2383 participants were included in the study; 83.2% of these children (n=1982) were <5 years old and 6.6% (n=158) had previously received an influenza vaccine. More than half (1356/2383, 56.9%) the parents indicated a willingness to vaccinate their child against influenza. Among the 2383 children, 26.3% (n=627) received influenza vaccination during the 2020-2021 season. Within the training set, the RF model showed the best performance across all metrics. In the validation set, the logistic regression model and NB model had the highest AUC values; the SVM model had the highest precision; the NB model had the highest recall; and the logistic regression model had the highest accuracy, F1 score, and Cohen κ value. The LASSO and logistic regression models were well-calibrated.

Conclusions
The developed prediction model can be used to quantify the uptake of seasonal influenza vaccination for children in China. The stepwise logistic regression model may be better suited for prediction purposes.
Muodollisesti queer?

Artikkelissani tarkastelen proosan ja runouden konventioita yhdistelevän säeromaanin ja queerin yhtymäkohtia kertojuuden, tilallisuuden ja affektiivisuuden näkökulmista. Tutkimuksellinen viitekehykseni nojaa kertomuksenteoriaan mutta hyödynnän luennassani myös multimodaalista stilistiikkaa ja affektitutkimusta. Analysoin artikkelissani kahta suomalaista nuorille ja nuorille aikuisille suunnattua säeromaania. Dess Terentjevan Ihana (2021) käsittelee Terentjevan muiden säeromaanien tapaan sukupuolen ja seksuaalisen moninaisuuteen sekä vähemmistöihin kuulumiseen liittyviä teemoja. Pintapuolisesti epäsuoremmin queer-tematiikkaan kytkeytyvä Kirsti Kurosen Merikki (2019) käsittelee minuuden ja identiteetin rakentumista ja hajoamista kerronnallisesti ja rakenteellisesti oivaltavalla tavalla, joka perustelee queer-näkökulman soveltamista teokseen.
Artikkelissani kysyn, kuinka säeromaanille ominaiset kerronnalliset ja muodolliset keinot rakentavat kertomusta ja sen ilmentämää tematiikkaa. Millä tavoin tematiikka voi konkretisoitua tekstin asettelussa ja typografisissa ratkaisuissa? Millaista affektiivisuutta säeromaanin pelkistetty mutta merkityksiltään tiivis ilmaisu tuottaa? Voiko eri kirjallisuudenlajien konventioita yhdistelevän muodon ymmärtää itsessään queerina?

Abstract
In this article, I examine the intersections of queerness and the verse novel, a literary form that combines conventions from prose and poetry, focusing on narrative voice, spatiality, and affectivity. My theoretical framework is based on narrative theory, but I also utilize multimodal stylistics and affect studies. I examine two Finnish young adult verse novels. Dess Terentjeva’s Ihana (2021, “Gorgeous”), like Terentjeva’s other verse novels, addresses themes related to gender and sexual diversity and minorities. Kirsti Kuronen’s Merikki (2019), which is superficially less directly connected to queer thematics, explores the construction and deconstruction of selfhood and identity in both narratively and formally insightful ways that justifies the application of the queer perspective to Kuronen’s novel.
In my article, I ask how the narrative and formal techniques of the verse novel construct the narrative as a whole and its themes. In what ways can the themes be concretized in the text’s layout and typographical choices? What kind of affectivity does verse novel’s concise yet complex narration produce? Can a form that combines conventions of different literary genres be understood as queer in itself?
Keywords: verse novel; narratology; narrative voice; spatiality; affectivity; Kirsti Kuronen; Dess Terentjeva

EFFECTIVENESS OF COMBINED APPLICATION OF HERBICIDE KREUTZER AND MICROFERTILIZER BATR ZINC
Authors: Дридигер В.В. , Кузнецова С.В. , Губа Е.И. 
Published: June 2024

Исследования проводили с целью изучения эффективности применения гербицида Крейцер (0,11 кг/га) и баковой смеси гербицида с микроудобрением Батр Цинк (1,0 л/га). При самостоятельном внесении гербицид Крейцер проявил высокое истребительное действие на сорные растения. В среднем за два года засоренность опытных делянок через 21 день после внесения гербицида снизилась в 2,5 раза, число двудольных сорняков уменьшилось в 3,7 раза, однодольных (злаковых) – в 25 раза. Надземная сорная масса стала меньше в 7,1 и 7,7 раза соответственно. В баковой смеси микроудобрение Батр Цинк снижало биологическую эффективность гербицида – сорных растений сохранилось в 1,4 раза больше, чем в варианте с одним гербицидом. Визуальные наблюдения за состоянием растений кукурузы выявили различную степень фитотоксичности на изучаемые препараты. Полученные данные показали, что применение микроудобрения Батр Цинк в баковой смеси снижает эффективность гербицида Крейцер против сорняков и усиливает его фитотоксичность на растения гибридов и самоопыленных линий кукурузы. В среднем за два года увеличение урожайности гибрида Машук 185 относительно контроля составило 1,43 т/га (47 %), гибрида Машук 355 МВ – 2,13 т/га (63 %). Добавление к гербициду микроудобрения Батр Цинк не обеспечило существенного увеличения прибавки урожая.
The research was carried out to study the effectiveness of using the herbicide Kreutzer (0.11 kg/ha) and the tank mixture of the herbicide with microfertilizer Batr Zinc (1.0 l/ha). When applied independently, the herbicide Kreutzer showed the high destructive effect on weeds. On average, over two years, the infestation of experimental plots 21 days after the application of the herbicide decreased by 2.5 times, the number of dicotyledonous weeds decreased by 3.7 times, and the number of monocotyledonous weeds – by 25 times. The aboveground weed biomass became smaller by 7.1 and 7.7 times, respectively. In the tank mixture, the microfertilizer Batr Zinc reduced the biological effectiveness of the herbicide – 1.4 times more weeds were preserved than in the variant with herbicide only. Visual observations of the corn plants condition revealed varying degrees of phytotoxicity to the studied chemicals. The data obtained showed that the use of microfertilizer Batr Zinc in the tank mixture reduced the effectiveness of the herbicide Kreutzer against weeds and increased its phytotoxicity on plants of hybrids and self-pollinated lines of corn. On average, over two years, the yield of the hybrid Mashuk 185 MV increased relative to the control was 1.43 t/ha (47%), and of the hybrid Mashuk 355 MV – 2.13 t/ha (63%). Herbicide adding to the microfertilizer Batr Zinc did not significantly increased the yield.

Purpose: Governments around the world have a shared responsibility for the management of occupational health and safety (OHS). The study aims to explore the under-reporting of OHS accidents by employees and employers in the construction industry in Ghana.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: The study used a cross-sectional survey design and quantitative and qualitative research techniques. Data was gathered via a questionnaire. The survey involved 250 site managers and operatives from Upper West and Upper East Regions. Significant factors that contribute to the under-reporting of construction-related accidents were identified and prioritized using descriptive statistics. The Linear Structural Relationships (LISREL) factor analysis was used to confirm the important factors.
Findings: It was deduced from the findings that job security, workers’ attitudes, education and training, blame culture, interpersonal relationships, poor safety culture, lack of management commitment, poor communication, and company’s goal contribute significantly to the under-reporting of OHS accidents within construction firms in Ghana. In the study, factors contributing to the under-reporting of construction site accidents to statutory authorities included education and training, the environment, politics/government, legal/regulations, and socio-cultural practices.
Practical Implications: The findings will enable construction companies to make investments to develop accident reporting systems that are easier to use and more accessible. This may include developing mobile reporting apps, and training employees how to use the reporting apps and tools efficiently.
Social Implications: Employee safety and well-being is one of the main societal ramifications. Policymakers can use the findings to develop more robust policies aimed at improving accident reporting and prevention measures in the construction industry.
Originality and Value: This research offers valuable insights into the factors influencing the underreporting of occupational health and safety (OHS) accidents on construction sites.

The article deals with studying the processes of socio-political destabilization in the countries of West Africa, as well as factors contributing to the preservation and maintenance of stability in specific countries. The countries of West Africa and, in particular the Sahel region, in recent years can be considered as the epicenter for the spread of extremism and terrorism. For that instance the study was mainly focused on Ghana as a country showing the lowest	rates	of	terrorist	attacks	and	episodes	of	socio-political	instability	in	recent years. At the same time, in other countries of West Africa, including those neighboring	Ghana,	quite	high	rates	of	instability	are	recorded.	The	authors	conclude	that	in	the	case	of	Ghana,	the	key	stabilizing	factors	are	religious	and ethnic tolerance and a general culture of peace among Ghanaians, efforts by the country’s leadership to develop interfaith tolerance and cooperation, a developed	civil	society,	and	an	effectively	working	extensive	media	network.	Moreover, Ghana’s resilience to the threats of violent extremism and terrorism can be attributed to a reasonably effective democratic administrative system and the country’s good governance record, a developed security sector with decades	of	international	peacekeeping	experience,	and	a	strong	traditional	system	of	keeping	the	peace	and	stability.

Russian	research	often	talks	about	the	fact	that	the	actual	level	of	Russian-Chinese trade and economic cooperation is lagging that declared. The same is said about Russian-Chinese border cooperation. Research often points to the poor development of logistics corridors, low investment activity, as well as the difficulty of implementing various strategies in the regional environment due to the mismatch of actors’ interests. Nevertheless, there are examples of industries in which trade and economic partnerships are developing steadily in the context of cross-border cooperation, creating positive externalities for the economy and Russian Far East industry. That refers to the Russian-Chinese f ish trade. The article reviews of the current situation. The authors come to the conclusion that at the present stage, the Russian-Chinese fish trade is a steadily developing branch of cooperation between the two countries, the corresponding sectors of the national economies are both in a situation of high interdependence,	and	sometimes	compete	each	other	in	world	markets.	Authors	shows	a number of institutional issues hindering the development of the industry, similar to those that affect the overall level of cross-border cooperation.
Clinical and microbiological features of patients with irritable bowel syndrome after previous COVID‑19
Authors: Prykhodko V. M. 
Published: June 2024

Objective — to investigate clinical and microbiological features in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19).
Materials and methods. Examinations involved 68 patients aged 22 to 85 with IBS, including 37 (54.4%) women and 31 (43.6%) men. In 32 patients IBS occurred after COVID‑19 within a year before the study, and the other 36 patients had IBS without a history of COVID‑19. The control group included 30 practically healthy patients without gastrointestinal complaints. All patients were clinically diagnosed with IBS by the Rome criteria IV revision. Fecal samples were taken from each patient for further laboratory testing by a polymerase chain reaction to determine the representatives of obligate and opportunistic microflora. The statistical processing of the study data was performed using the Statistica software.
Results. Diarrhea as the leading syndrome was recorded in 81.3% of cases in patients with post‑covid IBS, while patients with IBS without COVID‑19 more often had constipation — in 83.3% of cases. Changes were found in the number of obligate microorganisms during microbiome research: a decrease in the number of Bifidobacterium spp. in the group of patients with post­­COVID‑19 IBS compared to the other two groups, an increase in non‑pathogenic Escherichia coli was also recorded in this group compared to the other two groups, the lowest level of Bacteroides fragilis group was found in patients with non‑post‑COVID‑19 IBS, the highest level was observed in the group of healthy patients. No significant difference was found in the number of pathogenic microflora in all groups. Healthy patients had the greatest diversity of the studied microflora.
Conclusions. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome that occurred after COVID‑19 had diarrhea as the most common symptom. The microbiome of such patients showed a decrease in the number of bacteria of the genus Bifidobacterium spp. and an increase in the level of non‑pathogenic Escherichia coli. The number of pathogenic microorganisms did not differ from that in other study groups.
Multidisciplinary approach to the management of pediatric patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Literature review
Authors: Lychkovska O. L. , Semen M. O. 
Published: June 2024

According to the results of a global epidemiological study by the Rome Foundation, about 40% of population worldwide have complaints about certain disorders of cerebrointestinal interaction.
One of the most widespread complaints, including in the pediatric population, is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the clinical manifestations of which include abdominal pain in combination with disturbances of stool frequency and/or consistency. The motor, secretory, and barrier dysfunctions of the intestine, the phenomenon of visceral hypersensitivity, changes in the qualitative and quantitative composition of the microbiota, autonomic dysfunction, psychoemotional distress, etc., play an important role in the IBSonset. However, the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of this disorder remain unclear. According to the biopsychosocial model of medicine, the occurrence of IBS can be explained as a consequence of a disorder of bilateral relation on the “gut — brain” axis, which occurs as a result of the interaction of individual risk factors at different levels, namely biological, psychoemotional, and psychosocial. However, despite the large number of scientific works devoted to the study of probable risk factors and pathogenetic mechanisms of IBS development, currently, there is no clear understanding of their complex interaction, especially in children. Clinical examination of a child, including thorough medical history to identify potential risk and protective factors, as well as an assessment of the child psychoemotional state, is extremely important in the diagnosis of IBS. Considering the relatively low effectiveness of drugs and dietary interventions, the management of pediatric patients with IBS should be multimodal and include the use of non‑pharmacological means, namely cognitive‑behavioral therapy, family counseling, relaxation techniques, etc.
Reducing Inpatient Transport Delays: The Right Patient at the Right Time
Authors: Shih Huan-ju , Rizzo Anne , Shawky Mark 
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Transportation of inpatients throughout hospitalization remains a critical aspect of patient care. Transport delays hinder the timely delivery of surgical procedures, radiology, and patient triage, consequently impacting the flow and receipt of treatment. This study reviews transport delays in a quaternary care hospital's inpatient orthopedic unit to the preoperative unit. The goal of the project was to reengineer processes for maximized efficiency and improve on-time starts for all surgical services. Methods: Manufacturing methods of an assembly-line–like model and contemporary process-improvement tools in Lean and Six Sigma were used to gauge, reengineer, and monitor processes to ameliorate patient flow. In addition to value streamlining the flow, evaluating communication triggers, eliminating redundant operations, and shifting roles and responsibilities, multiple data sources were used to assess flow for a redesign. Results: Changes in process operations led to a 40% decrease in delays. The grace period for 100 cases was decreased by 5 minutes, in addition to a savings of $110,000 in operating room costs in the first week and 3.5 full-time equivalents annually. Physician satisfaction with timely patient arrival increased in addition to a simplified workflow, which improved patient readiness on the inpatient surgical floor and increased safety. Discussion: Using data-driven approaches, overnight acuity level was removed as a barrier to the timely care of add-on cases. With a standardized process, prediction model, and simplified evidence-based communication strategies coupled with a “pull” manufacturing model, we implemented a structured, safe, and reliable method of efficient patient transport.
Koncepcje nauki administracji w polskiej myśli administracyjnej XIX wieku oraz ich wpływ na jej współczesne ujęcie
Authors: Mielczarek-Mikołajów Justyna 
Published: June 2024

Polska nauka administracji rozwijała się w XIX w., szczególnie w jego drugiej połowie, co było zasługą inspiracji koncepcjami niemieckich i francuskich uczonych. Przede wszystkim warto wskazać na poglądy A. Okolskiego, J.B. Oczapowskiego oraz F. Kasparka oraz T. Pilata, którzy jako pierwsi w nauce polskiej wyodrębnili zarówno pojęcie nauki prawa administracyjnego, jak i nauki administracji. W ich dorobku można odnaleźć zarówno prawnicze, jak i nieprawnicze ujęcia nauki administracji. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie wpływu głoszonych wtedy poglądów na koncepcje późniejszych i obecnych uczonych. Należy uznać, że omawiane poglądy wpisują się w klasyczne ujęcie nauki administracji, podzielane również współcześnie przez niektórych uczonych. Warto zauważyć, że samo pojęcie nauki administracji jest obecnie różnie rozumowane, dlatego przypomnienie tego dziewiętnastowiecznego ujęcia wydaje się być niezwykle istotne.
