Association between minerals intake and childhood obesity: A cross-sectional study of the NHANES database in 2007–2014
Authors: Wang Lu , Liu Wei , Bi Sitong , Zhou Li , Li Lihua 
Published: December 2023

Background
The roles of minerals in obesity received increasing attention recently due to its oxidant or antioxidant functions and effects on insulin and glucose metabolism that may be associated with obesity. Herein, this study aims to explore the association between minerals and obesity and body mass index (BMI) in children with different ages, and hope to provide some references for prevention and management in children with high-risk of obesity.

Methods
Data of children aged 2–17 years old were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database in 2007–2014 in this cross-sectional study. Weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression and liner regression analyses were used to screen covariates, and explore the association between minerals [including calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), sodium (Na), potassium (K) and selenium (Se)] and childhood obesity and BMI. The evaluation indexes were β, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). These relationships were also investigated in age subgroups.

Results
Among 10,450 eligible children, 1,988 (19.02%) had obesity. After adjusting for covariates, we found the highest quartile of dietary Fe [OR = 0.74, 95%CI: (0.58, 0.95)] and Zn [OR = 0.70, 95%CI: (0.54, 0.92)] intakes were associated with low odds of childhood obesity, while that of dietary Na intake seemed to be positively linked to childhood obesity [OR = 1.35, 95%CI: (1.05, 1.74)]. High dietary intakes of Ca, Na and K were positively associated with children’s BMI, on the contrary, dietary Fe and Zn consumptions had a negative one (all P<0.05). Additionally, these associations were also found in children with different age (all P<0.05).

Conclusion
Dietary Fe and Zn intakes played positive roles in reducing childhood obesity or BMI, while the intakes of Na should be controlled suitably.

Published: December 2023

Background
Anakinra and tocilizumab are used for severe Covid-19, but only one previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) has studied both. We performed a multi-center RCT comparing anakinra or tocilizumab versus usual care (UC) for adults at high risk of deterioration.

Methods
The study was conducted June 2020 to March 2021. Eligibility required ≥ 5 liters/minute of Oxygen to maintain peripheral oxygen saturation at ≥ 93%, CRP > 70 mg/L, ferritin > 500 μg/L and at least two points where one point was awarded for lymphocytes < 1x 109/L; D-dimer ≥ 0.5 mg/L and; lactate dehydrogenase ≥ 8 microkatal/L. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to receive either a single dose of tocilizumab (8 mg/kg) or anakinra 100 mg IV QID for seven days or UC alone. The primary outcome was time to recovery.

Results
Recruitment was ended prematurely when tocilizumab became part of usual care. Out of a planned 195 patients, 77 had been randomized, 27 to UC, 28 to anakinra and 22 to tocilizumab. Median time to recovery was 15, 15 and 11 days. Rate ratio for recovery for UC vs anakinra was 0.91, 0.47 to 1.78, 95% [CI], p = 0.8 and for UC vs tocilizumab 1.13, 0.55 to 2.30; p = 0.7. There were non-significant trends favoring tocilizumab (and to limited degree anakinra) vs UC for some secondary outcomes. Safety profiles did not differ significantly.

Conclusion
Premature closure of trial precludes firm conclusions. Anakinra or tocilizumab did not significantly shorten time to clinical recovery compared to usual care. (IMMCoVA, NCT04412291, EudraCT: 2020–00174824).

Authors: Gautam Ishani 
Published: December 2023

Purpose - The overall purpose of this study is to delve deeper into the matters of female health, especially taking in data from different elements of life like age, fertility rate and how this influences mental health.
Basic Design - The objectives of this study was to see if there was a pattern between age and fertility rate and the mental health of women, with a focus on depression. I primarily focused on depression since it’s a more applicable mental illness to more walks of life. When I started to assess how to design my study, I first attempted to contact local hospitals but the patient confidential agreements proved to be ineffective in garnering results. Therefore I sent this survey to the entirety of the female staff of my school.

The World Health Organization estimates that in 2030, there will be a shortage of nurses, especially in developing countries, due to job dissatisfaction. Human resources in hospitals are dominated by nurses, so it is important to pay attention to nurse job satisfaction. Diponegoro National Hospital must focus on nurse job satisfaction because there has been an increase in nurses' resignations over last three years (2019–2021). The study was conducted to determine the factors associated with job satisfaction among nurses at the Diponegoro National Hospital. In this cross-sectional study, 97 nurses at Diponegoro Hospital were surveyed using a total sampling technique. Univariate analysis was presented with a frequency distribution table and bivariate analysis was based on chi-square statistics. The results showed there was a relationship between job satisfaction and awards (p = 0.010), promotion opportunities (p = 0.003), and hospital policies (p = 0.042). There was no association between job satisfaction and compensation (p = 0.527), interpersonal relationships (p = 0.057), or job security (p = 0.093). In conclusion, it was found that awards, promotions, and hospital policies are related to job satisfaction among nurses at Diponegoro National Hospital. It is expected that there will be improvements in the nurse reward program, improvements in the promotion system, evaluating promotion policy socialization, providing training and education needed by nurses for career advancement, evaluating the policy socialization system, evaluating the compensation system, and efforts to minimize interpersonal conflicts in the hospital.

Accounting for Uncertainty
Authors: Penman Stephen 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In accordance with the theme of the Yuri Ijiri lectures, I focus on something foundational to accounting: the communication of uncertainty through accounting numbers. I do so in the context of providing information to investors about “the amount, timing, and uncertainty of future cash flows”, an objective of accounting standard setters (with emphasis added). I outline accounting principles that convey uncertainty and discuss the implications for a financial statement analysis that extracts information about uncertainty. I also show how accounting-based valuation is modified to incorporate that information. Asset pricing in finance deals with risk and uses accounting numbers to do so. I explain how that endeavor might be improved by recognizing the accounting for uncertainty. That puts accounting and finance on the same platform. Finally, I address normative issues of accounting policy for conveying information about the uncertainty of future cash flows.

Chitosan is a natural polymer that has antifungal activity. It is necessary to modify chitosan into its derivatives to increase its activity. One modification of chitosan that has the potential to be developed as an antifungal is carboxylated chitosan amide because this chitosan derivative contains a carboxylic group and is more hydrophilic. This research aims to synthesize chitosan amide carboxylate using several cyclic anhydride compounds and test its antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus. The cyclic anhydrides used in this research are maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride. In the initial stage of chitosan amide carboxylate synthesis, reaction optimization was carried out at varying temperatures of 25, 50, and 72oC for 7 hours. Compound characterization was carried out using FTIR and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The disc diffusion method tested the chitosan amide carboxylate product for its antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus. The optimal MCA (Maleoyl Chitosan Amide) product is (MCA_50), synthesized at a reaction temperature of 50oC. Under these optimal reaction conditions, PCA_50 (Pthaloyl Chitosan Amide) was successfully synthesized to produce a brownish-yellow solid with a yield of 46.1% (w/w) and a degree of substitution (DS) of 41.93%. The diameter of the inhibition zone against Aspergillus flavus for PCA_50 was 30 mm at the 12th hour of observation. The product (PCA_50) has better antifungal activity than chitosan and MCA_50.

The object of this study is the process of planning the work of a transport and forwarding company when serving different categories of customers who need organizational support for the delivery of goods by road transport in international traffic.
The solved problem is due to the need to devise recommendations for organizing the work of forwarders when interacting with customers of transport and forwarding services that export or import different categories of cargo.
A simulation model of the transport and forwarding company’s work in customer service was developed and implemented in the GPSS World simulation automation package.
The model provides for the optimization of organizational and management processes in cooperation with customers of transport and forwarding services.
When developing the model, the duration of the types of work in which freight forwarders are involved in the export and import of goods by road transport was taken into account. The model also predicts the probability of errors in the forwarder’s work and the duration of their elimination. The application of the developed model in practice will enable the owners of transport and forwarding companies to plan the full-time number of forwarders and the duration of service provision under different conditions of interaction with customers. The simulation results reflect the performance indicators of the enterprise in serving different categories of customers. This will make it possible to optimize the work of the enterprise by planning personnel support. At the same time, the duration of transport and forwarding services will be reduced by 10–15 %, the capacity of the enterprise will increase by 6–11 %, and the reliability of service provision will increase by 8–14 %
