Expanded and non-conforming answers in standardized survey interviews
Authors: Unger Sanne , Ongena Yfke , Koole Tom 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Respondents in standardized survey interviews do not always answer closed-ended questions with just a type-conforming answer, such as “yes” or “three.” Instead, they sometimes expand the type-conforming answer or provide a response that does not contain a type-conforming answer. Standardized survey methodology aims to avoid such answers because they are found to cause interviewers to deviate from their script. However, we found that many expanded and non-conforming responses do not lead to intervention by the interviewer and are treated as unproblematic. A Conversation Analytic study of survey interviews, incorporating three different surveys, with recordings available for interviews varying in number between four and 430 interviews, shows that answer attempts can be divided into five types: four turn expansions (serial extras, uncertainty markers, prefaced answers, answers followed by elaborations), and non-conforming answers. Each of these targets a specific aspect of the interview situation. A follow-up quantitative analysis of 610 Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) shows that expanded answers are overwhelmingly accepted by interviewers, while non-conforming answers are in most cases followed by interviewer probing.

AbstractHypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging pathogen that has gained attention due to its increased ability to cause infections even in healthy individuals. The aim of this study is to investigate virulence factors in K. pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical specimens and their association with carbapenem resistance. The study was conducted on 260 isolates identified between 2018 and 2023 at the Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital in Rabat, Morocco. The isolates were categorized based on their susceptibility to antibiotics. The hypermucoviscosity was determined by a string test, while the presence of capsular serotypes and virulence genes were identified by PCR. Among our strains, 6.2% (n = 16) exhibited hypervirulent characteristics, 56% were resistant to carbapenem. Notably, 5.7% (n = 6) of carbapenem-resistant isolates expressed the hypermucoviscous phenotype, while 1.5% (n = 2) of carbapenem-susceptible K. pneumoniae isolates exhibited the same trait. In our study, we found that a total of 10 isolates (3.8%) had virulent capsular serotypes, with K2 being the most prevalent 40% (n = 4) and K20 in 30% (n = 3). Furthermore, we detected the presence of the Aerobactin gene in 1.5% (n = 4) of the isolates examined. Based on our findings, it appears that there was no correlation between the presence of virulence factors and carbapenem resistance. In conclusion, identifying hypervirulent K. pneumoniae in clinical specimens and assessing their antibiotic resistance profiles are crucial to ensure effective therapy and to prevent outbreaks.

Providing primary health care is one of the priority areas of healthcare due to importance of early detection, treatment and prevention of diseases. The development of management decisions aimed at improving the healthcare management is impossible without taking into account patient satisfaction with the availability and quality of medical services.Aim. To assess the satisfaction of housing and utility service employees with the quality and conditions of health care in the context of the implementation of follow-up monitoring program.Material and methods. The study was carried out before and after the implementation of the Regulations for treatment and prevention of hypertensive employees of the Water Utility of St. Petersburg. A total of 292 people were surveyed by the questionnaire recommended by the territorial compulsory medical insurance fund of St. Petersburg. There were following evaluation criteria: for the availability of healthcare — how easy it is to make an appointment with a specialist on the day of treatment; for the quality of healthcare — satisfaction with the conditions of waiting for an appointment and medical support.Results. The majority of respondents were satisfied with both the conditions of waiting and provision of care, the respectful and professional attitude of medical staff (satisfaction rate, 83,2%). After the implementation of the Regulations, the number of people who were completely satisfied with the waiting conditions in a medical institution increased from 80,2% to 90%. Satisfaction with the medical support increased from 83,2% to 95,7%. The share of those who were completely satisfied with the clinical setting also increased — from 75,7% to 82,3%. The number of "excellent" ratings given for the physician’s explanation of the prescribed treatment and procedures has increased (from 76,8% to 85,6%). The greatest satisfaction with the quality of care was among those aged 45-49 years.Conclusion. The results obtained indicate that there is a connection between satisfaction and both the quality of care provided and the involvement of patients in the treatment and preventive process.

Significance Statement
ESKD incidence has changed substantially in the past four decades, but differences by age and race have been unexplored. Using data from the United States Renal Data System, we found that ESKD incidence rose for Black and White teenagers, adults, and older adults for two decades beginning in 1980. Growth in incidence slowed for most groups by 1993, and by 2006, the annual percent change (APC) in ESKD incidence had declined for all groups, except White adults, for whom rates continued to rise. By 2019, ESKD incidence among Black and White adolescents nearly returned to 1980 levels, but no other group achieved that degree of improvement. Nonetheless, the ESKD incidence rate among Black American patients exceeds that of White patients in every age group. Distinct patterns in ESKD incidence among patients of different age, sex, and racial groups are shown. These findings could reflect changes in dialysis acceptance rates, access to preventive health care, incidence of diabetes mellitus, implementation of evidence-based guidelines for treatment of CKD, or other unrecognized factors. There may be population-specific opportunities to change the growth of the US ESKD population and address current racial disparities.

Background
Substantial changes in ESKD incidence over four decades among Black and White Americans of different ages have been incompletely explored.

Methods
We analyzed United States Renal Data System data from 1980 to 2019 to determine ESKD incidence trends among Black and White adolescent (13–17 years), adult (18–64 years), and older adult (≥65) populations. We used the National Cancer Institute Joinpoint Regression Program to estimate annual percent change (APC) in ESKD incidence and to define points in time where a statistically significant change in APC slope occurred for each group.

Results
ESKD incidence rose after 1980 for all groups, although the trends differed (P < 0.001). Growth in incidence slowed for most by 1993, and by 2006, the APC in ESKD incidence had declined for all groups, except White adults, for whom rates continued to rise (P < 0.05). By 2019, ESKD incidence among Black and White adolescents nearly returned to 1980 levels, but no other group achieved that degree of improvement. Nonetheless, the ESKD incidence among Black American patients exceeds that of White patients in every age group.

Conclusions
Distinct patterns in ESKD incidence among patients of different age, sex, and racial groups are shown. These findings could reflect changes in dialysis acceptance rates, access to preventive health care, incidence of diabetes mellitus, implementation of evidence-based guidelines for treatment of CKD, or other unrecognized factors.

Rural Cooperation and the Finnish Society. Past, Present and Future
Authors: Köppä Tapani 
Published: January 2024

This essay deals with the importance of human cooperation for the development of societies and economies. The rural history of Finland offers rich material about the topic, including forms and applications of cooperation in economy and community life as well as the role of cooperetion in the development of social institutions and fulfilling political goals. Historical continuum covers here 900 years, including Finland as part of Sweden (~1100-1808), as an autonomous Grand Duchy of Russian empire (1809-1917) and as an indpendent republic of Finland (1917-). The author aims to provoke discussion about the social political importance of cooperation in general as win-win model recognising collective interests of people and balancing dominant individualistic view of man behind the rationality of mainstream competition economy. Long historical evidence of cooperative survival calls e.g. for continuing theoretical works like Nobelist Elinor Ostrom´s path-breaking analyses of the Commons and to give deeper time perspective for comparative research interests around recent topics, like the role of social economy in different countries. Relationships between cooperation and society can be recognised during history in changes of socio-political power relationships, applying of new technologies and re-organising community activities and economic exchange. An example with far-reching comsequences of these components in Finland was the period around the turn of 18th and 19th centuries. Market economy was replacing local subsistence economy, leaving traditional local means of livelihood in troubles. Rural poverty was critical social question needing measures to introduce new agricultural technologies and empowering poor peasants to self-help and extension organisations. Need to find access to larger markets for food and timber, including exporting, was also extremely important. Awareness of new European models of rural and agricultural cooperatives came into this context through influential pioneers, like Hannes Gebhard. After founding of Pellervo Society as central organisation of cooperation, the adoption and dissemination of cooperatives went on rapidly as an important component of Finnish small farm favouring agricultural policy. Talkoot is an essential element of the Finnish rural cooperation. Initially talkoot has been applied in rural communities as voluntary and mutual exchange of work and equipment. This could respond to everyday needs, but has also been applied for the sake of solidarity, to help disadvantaged members of the community. Talkoot-practices were exploited also by authorities, obligating subjects collectively to cooperate for certain common responsibilities. As an example of talkoot potential of Finns in exceptional circumstances was the organising of voluntary acts in home front during the wars 1939 and 1941-45.Received: 28 April 2023 Accepted: 11 July 2023

Abstract
The common technique of traditional salt production in Indonesia is seawater evaporation technology, which uses sunlight to produce salt crystals from seawater. However, in general, the applied technology only produces salt with about 80% NaCl and water contents >7%, impurities >2%, and other contaminants. This produced salt is not suitable to be used as industrial salt. This study aimed to determine the effects of liquid organic fertilizer Gracilaria sp. addition into the culture media of Tetraselmis chuii on Artemia sp. growth, to identify the profile of length, weight, and survival rate of Artemia sp., and finally attempted to uncover the contribution of Artemia sp. in impurity mineral absorption and NaCl content improvement. The results of the study showed that the density of T. chuii based on the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer Gracilaria sp. was significantly different (p<0.05) in each treatment. T. chuii cultivation using liquid organic fertilizer Gracilaria sp. 16 mg N/mL resulted in the highest density on the culture days. However, the studies showed that there was no significant effect (p>0.05) on the weight and length gain of Artemia sp. The research conducted can support the downstream use of products from engineering research in the field of technology to increase the added value of salt products and be part of the contribution to the achievement of the 14th SDG on life below water.
Highlight Research

Integration of chuii and Artemia sp. culture in salt production could improve NaCl contents by up to 97% and reduced impurities of sulfate and magnesium.

The result of the first phase of this study is the density of chuii. This finding is useful to find out the effects of Gracilaria sp. liquid organic fertilizer administration as a source of nitrogen that improves the growth of T. chuii.

The highest density of T. chuii resulted from a treatment receiving the dose of 16 N mg/L Gracilaria sp. liquid organic fertilizer with > 5 x 106 cells/mL. This finding indicates that the administration of 16 N mg/L Gracilaria liquid organic fertilizer into the culture medium provided a source of nitrogen and phosphorus for the metabolism of T. chuii.
The results of the mineral content test on Artemia sp. show the largest percentage change in Mg2+ > SO42- > Cl- > Na+. The densities of Artemia sp. showed a positive trend of increasing levels of Mg2+ and SO42-, which coincided with decreasing levels of Mg2+ and SO42- in seawater media.
The results of NaCl content measurement in water with Artemia sp. culture integration show salt with excellent quality of 97% that met the criteria of industrial salt. The contribution of Artemia sp. to improving the quality of salt products is interesting and has the potential to serve as an alternative to the traditional salt-farming system that is currently practiced.
A TPRF-based pseudo-random number generator
Authors: Andreeva Elena , Weninger Andreas 
Published: January 2024

Most cryptographic applications use randomness that is generated by pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). A popular PRNG practical choice is the NIST standardized $$ \rm{CTR\_DRBG}$$ . In their recent ACNS 2023 publication, Andreeva and Weninger proposed a new and more efficient and secure PRNG called $$ \mathtt{FCRNG}$$ . $$ \mathtt{FCRNG}$$ is based on $$ \rm{CTR\_DRBG}$$ and uses the $$ n $$ -to-$$ 2n $$ forkcipher expanding primitive ForkSkinny as a building block. In this work, we create a new BKRNG PRNG, which is based on $$ \mathtt{FCRNG}$$ and employs the novel $$ n $$ -to-$$ 8n $$ expanding primitive Butterknife. Butterknife is based on the Deoxys tweakable blockcipher (and thus AES) and realizes a tweakable expanding pseudo-random function. While both blockciphers and forkciphers are invertible primitives, tweakable expanding pseudo-random functions are not. This functional simplification enables security benefits for BKRNG in the robustness security game - the standard security goal for a PRNG. Contrary to the security bound of $$ \rm{CTR\_DRBG}$$ , we show that the security of our BKRNG construction does not degrade with the length of the random inputs, nor the number of requested output pseudo-random bits. We also empirically verify the BKRNG security with the NIST PRNG test suite and the TestU01 suite.
Furthermore, we show the $$ n $$ -to-$$ 8n $$ multi-branch expanding nature of Butterknife contributes to a significant speed-up in the efficiency of BKRNG compared to $$ \mathtt{FCRNG}$$ . More concretely, producing random bits with BKRNG is 30.0% faster than $$ \mathtt{FCRNG}$$ and 49.2% faster than $$ \rm{CTR\_DRBG}$$ .

Aim. To determine concentrations and identify the relationship of biomarkers (endocan / cell-specific molecule-1, fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP 4), placental growth factor (PlGF), oncostatin M), with parameters of collageninduced platelet aggregation in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).Materials and methods. In patients with CAD (n = 51), serum levels of endocan, FABP 4, PlGF, oncostatin M, and platelet aggregation indices (collagen at concentrations of 2 and 10 mmol / l) were determined. Patients were divided into groups with and without high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR). Correlation coefficients between concentrations of proinflammatory biomarkers and platelet aggregation indices were determined in patients of both groups.Results. In patients with HRPR, the concentrations of endocan and PlGF were significantly higher, and the concentrations of FABP4 and oncostatin M were lower than in the first group. In patients with HRPR, a correlation was found between the concentration of endocan and the degree of platelet aggregation in the presence of 2 mmol/ l of collagen (ρ = 0.48; p = 0.01), between the concentration of PlGF and the degree of platelet aggregation in the presence of 10 mmol / l of collagen (ρ = 0.58; p = 0.01), as well as between the concentration of FABP 4 and the size of aggregates at both collagen concentrations (ρ = 0.42; p = 0.03) and (ρ = 0.70; p = 0.01) and the degree of platelet aggregation in the presence of 10 mmol / l of collagen (ρ = 0.43; p = 0.01).Conclusion. In all examined CAD patients, regardless of the residual platelet reactivity, the levels of endocan and FABP 4 increased compared to the reference values. In patients with HRPR, the content of parameters (endocan, PlGF) contributing to plaque growth was elevated, and in patients without HRPR, the levels of platelet-activating factors (FABР 4, oncostatin M) were increased, which determines a personalized approach to prescribing therapy for these groups of patients. In patients with CAD, platelet aggregation indices were associated with concentrations of proinflammatory biomarkers (endocan, PlGF, and FABP 4), which contribute to the development of endothelial dysfunction.
