Cost of a Policy: Social Trust and Health Insurance Uptake in Azerbaijan and Emerging Markets
Authors: Sadigov Turkhan 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Do low levels of social trust increase a population’s sense of insecurity and desire to get an insurance policy or alternatively make it turn to informal networks for safety nets? While generalized social trust is an important variable to explain insurance uptake, the existing literature offers conflicting accounts of its impact on a population’s insurance demand. By employing a mixed-methods research design that combines multivariate regression of large-N cross-country data with a qualitative case study of Azerbaijan, the study provides a systematic analytical measurement of the impact of social trust on the voluntary purchase of health insurance in 93 emerging markets. The article finds a statistically significant positive effect of generalized trust on voluntary health insurance purchases. The findings suggest that in countries with a low level of social trust, people favor informal safety nets rather than formal contracts with insurance firms.
Consciència i conducta lingüística: una relació conflictiva
Authors: Suay Ferran 
Published: March 2024

Gran part de la conducta humana pot explicar-se a partir dels hàbits adquirits. Quan una conducta s'automatitza, la disponibilitat cognitiva de les alternatives diferents es redueix, i la probabilitat de repetir-la augmenta. Els aspectes plenament conscients (presa de decisions) concentren la seua influència en les primeres fases de l'adquisició de l'hàbit. En parlants poliglots, la selecció d'idioma en cadascuna de les interaccions socials que mantenen també respon a automatismes. Per bé que el focus ha estat tradicionalment sobre els aspectes més conscients de la tria lingüística, intervenció psicològica sobre aquesta conducta ha de prendre en consideració els tres nivells d'anàlisi (cognitiu, fisiològic i motor) i desenvolupar estratègies orientades a l'establiment d'un nou hàbit. L'element clau és la reducció de la incomoditat que els parlants de llengües minoritzades experimenten quan les usen, que actua com a factor desencadenant del canvi a la llengua dominant. Per això, cal aprendre recursos que poden permetre la transformació de la decisió conscient d'expressar-se en un idioma en un comportament sistemàtic i consistent, amb opcions d'esdevenir un hàbit. La perspectiva psicològica, centrada en la conducta individual dels parlants i orientada a fomentar l'assertivitat lingüística, que es presenta en l'article permet abordar l'estudi dels usos lingüístics amb una estratègia 'de baix cap amunt', centrada en la capacitat de modificar la conducta dels parlants, en la direcció d'incrementar l'ús social de les llengües minoritzades.

Resistivity methods have been increasingly used for aquifer characterisation due to their high level of effectiveness. In this study, electrical resistivity survey was carried out at the Proposed Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University Teaching Hospital Lapai Niger State Nigeria in order to study the groundwater potential with a view of determining the depth to the bedrock and thickness of the overburden protective capacity. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using Schlumberger array was used to occupy thirty (30) VES stations using ABEM Terrameter (SAS 300) for the acquisition of apparent resistivity data. The field data obtained was analysed using computer software (IPI2win) which gave the secondary geoelectric parameters of depth, layer thickness and layer resistivities. The results revealed heterogeneous nature of the subsurface geological sequence comprising top soil (clayey-sandy and sandy-lateritic), weathered layer, partly weathered (fractured basement) and fresh basement. The resistivity value for the topsoil layer varied from 20Ωm to 600Ωm with thickness ranging from 0.5 to 7.2 m. The weathered basement had resistivity values ranging from 15Ωm to 593Ωm while the thicknesses varied between 2.75 and 33.04m. The fractured basement had resistivity values ranging from 201Ωm to 835Ωm and thicknesses having values between 11 and 20.4m. The fresh basement (bedrock) had resistivity values ranging from 1161Ωm to 3115Ωm with infinite depth. The depth from the earth’s surface to the bedrock surface varied between 2.5 to 47.75m. The VES 10, 11 and 19 had very good overburden protective capacity and can serve as good sites for borehole drilling.

Published: March 2024

The article presents the research results of the electronic system for managing university educational programs (EP). The analysis of scientific works showed that higher educational institutions need the introduction of integrated information systems. Such systems are the technical basis of the electronic university and have functionality for managing education and providing communications to university management. An analysis of the main processes of EP management was performed, and interested parties, their roles, and participation in the methods were determined. The proposed mathematical model is the basis of management for introducing the EP, its development, and implementation control based on quality parameters. The software module is a part of the university's management process support system and the JetIQ of Vinnytsia National Technical University's (VNTU's) comprehensive information system. For the analysis of the subject area and the formation of optimal management processes, the methodological recommendations of the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance (NAQA), data export and import system for the Unified State Electronic Database on Education Issues, the experience, and recommendations of experts from the department of quality assurance of education of VNTU, experts and guarantors of educational programs were used. Precedent models are formed about such role scenarios – applicant, student, teacher, guarantor, management, expert, stakeholder (employer). Such models made it possible to create not only the software module for the management of educational programs (QEd – Quality Educational) but also to determine the conditions for publication on the main website of VNTU of educational programs and documentation of their development, syllabi on the foremost showcase and jet-sites of the department, to create scenarios for automatic quality control of the EP. The result of the creation of the software module for the management of educational programs is a system of structured information regarding the development and implementation of the educational program, which allows the guarantor and specialists of the department to ensure the quality of education by use special containers for documentation and interested parties to use public up-to-date information on the university's websites.

Urease, a nickel-dependent enzyme found in various life forms, catalyzes urea breakdown, concluding nitrogen metabolism by generating ammonia and carbamate. This process causes a rise in pH, supports the survival of pathogens, and can lead to infections such as gastric disorders like ulcers and cancer in humans. Helicobacter pylori employs urease for survival in the acidic environment of the stomach and in protein synthesis. To treat such infections and inhibit the growth of pathogens, it is mandatory to obstruct urease activity; therefore, derivatives of 1-(3-nitropyridin-2-yl)piperazine were synthesized (5a-o; 7a-k). All these newly synthesized compounds were investigated for urease inhibition by in vitro inhibition assays. The results showed that 5b and 7e are the most active inhibitors, having IC50 values of 2.0 ± 0.73 and 2.24 ± 1.63 µM, respectively. These IC50 values are lower than the IC50 value of the standard thiourea, which was 23.2 ± 11.0 µM. The hemolysis potential of 5b, 5c, 5i, 7e, and 7h was also determined; 7e and 7h exhibited good biocompatibility in human blood cells. Through in silico analysis, it was shown that both these potent inhibitors develop favorable interactions with the active site of urease, having binding energies of −8.0 (5b) and −8.1 (7e) kcal/mol. The binding energy of thiourea was −2.8 kcal/mol. Moreover, 5b and 7e have high gastrointestinal permeability as predicted via computational analysis. On the other hand, the IC50 value and binding energy of precursor compound 3 was 3.90 ± 1.91 µM and −6.1 kcal/mol, respectively. Consequently, 5b and 7e can serve as important inhibitors of urease.

IntroductionFew studies explored healthcare needs of elderly heart failure (HF) patients with comorbidities in view of a personalized intervention conducted by Care Managers (CM) in the framework of Blended Collaborative Care (BCC). The aims of the present study were to: (1) identify perceived healthcare needs/preferences in elderly patients with HF prior to a CM intervention; (2) investigate possible associations between healthcare needs/preferences, sociodemographic variables (age; sex) and number of comorbidities.MethodPatients aged 65 years or more affected by HF with at least 2 medical comorbidities were enrolled in the study. They were assessed by structured interviewing with colored cue cards that represented six main topics including education, individual tailoring of treatment, monitoring, support, coordination, and communication, related to healthcare needs and preferences.ResultsThirty-three patients (Italy = 21, Denmark = 7, Germany = 5; mean age = 75.2 ± 7.7 years; males 63.6%) were enrolled from June 2021 to February 2022. Major identified needs included: HF information (education), patients' involvement in treatment-related management (individual tailoring of treatment), regular checks of HF symptoms (monitoring), general practitioner update by a CM about progression of symptoms and health behaviors (coordination), and telephone contacts with the CM (communication). Regarding communication modalities with a CM, males preferred phone calls (χ2 = 6.291, p = 0.043) and mobile messaging services (χ2 = 9.647, p = 0.008), whereas females preferred in-person meetings and a patient dashboard. No differences in needs and preferences according to age and number of comorbidities were found.DiscussionThe findings highlight specific healthcare needs and preferences in older HF multimorbid patients, allowing a more personalized intervention delivered by CM in the framework of BCC.

BackgroundThis study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in patients following surgical treatment for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). The objectives include constructing a predictive model for risk assessment and validating its predictive efficacy.MethodsA total of 452 patients diagnosed with ATAAD and undergoing surgical procedures at a tertiary hospital in Nanjing between January 2021 and April 2023 were selected using a convenience sampling method. Patients were categorized into two groups: PMV group (n = 132) and non-PMV group (n = 320) based on the occurrence of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV), and their clinical data were compared. The data were randomly divided into a modeling set and a validation set in a 7:3 ratio. Risk factors for PMV were identified in the modeling group using logistic regression analysis. A risk prediction model was constructed using R 4.1.3 software, visualized via a column chart. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were generated using the validation set to assess model differentiation. Calibration curves were plotted to evaluate accuracy and consistency, and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) was applied to evaluate clinical utility.ResultsThe logistic regression analysis identified age, body mass index, preoperative white blood cell count, preoperative creatinine, preoperative cerebral hypoperfusion, and cardiopulmonary bypass time as significant risk factors for postoperative PMV in patients with ATAAD. The area under the curve (AUC) for the validation set ROC curve was 0.856, 95% confidence interval (0.805–0.907), indicating good discrimination. Calibration curves revealed strong alignment with the ideal curve, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test indicated a well-fitted model (P = 0.892). The DCA curve demonstrated a high net benefit value, highlighting the model's strong clinical utility.ConclusionsThe risk prediction model developed in this study for PMV in patients undergoing surgery for ATAAD exhibits robust predictive performance. It provides valuable insights for healthcare practitioners in predicting the likelihood of PMV and devising timely and personalized intervention strategies.

IntroductionFetal growth restriction (FGR) is a common pregnancy complication, caused by placental insufficiency, with serious adverse consequences for development in utero and postnatal wellbeing. There are no antenatal treatments to improve growth or organ development in FGR, and animal models are essential to mimic the physiological adaptations in FGR and to assess potential interventions. This study aimed to identify the temporal nature of reduced developmental trajectory in fetuses with FGR, and to examine the effects of common factors that may mediate differential growth such as glucocorticoid treatment. We hypothesised that the trajectory of growth would be adversely impacted by FGR.MethodsFGR was induced via surgical placental insufficiency in fetal sheep (89 days gestation/0.6 gestation; n=135) and compared to age-matched controls over the last third of gestation and into neonatal life (n=153).ResultsBody weight of FGR fetuses/lambs was significantly reduced compared to controls (p&lt;0.0001) from 127 days of gestation (term is 148 days), with increased brain:body weight ratio (p&lt;0.0001) indicative of brain sparing. All biometric measures of body size were reduced in the FGR group with the exception of biparietal (head) diameter. The trajectory of body growth in the last trimester of sheep pregnancy was significantly reduced in the FGR group compared to controls, and stillbirth rate increased with longer gestation.DiscussionThis work provides a well characterised FGR animal model that mimics the known physiological adaptations in human pregnancy and can be used to determine the efficacy of potential interventions.
