Authors: Gorzelanczyk Piotr , Pawłowski Adrian 
Published: January 2024

Public transportation provides its services to both urban centers and neighboring areas in the immediate vicinity of the city. The problem of urban transportation is evident, the number of people willing to use public transportation has decreased. Therefore, there is a need to delve into the issue and conduct an analysis of the demand for urban transportation in Poland in 2000-2030, this will allow us to assess in what direction urban transportation is heading, whether there is an increase in the number of people using it, or whether there is a downward trend (Zielińska 2018).
Based on CSO statistics from 2009-2020 for the analysis of demand for public transportation in Poland, a forecast of people using public transportation was conducted using Statistica software for 2021-2030. Due to the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, the study was conducted in 2 ways – with and without 2020.
Public transportation will make less and less profit and even losses for the next few years through rising gasoline and energy prices. Virtually in each of the provinces, and likewise throughout Poland, a decline in the number of people willing to use public transportation is evident. conclusions.
On the basis of the surveys carried out, there is a general trend that shows the current state of public transport. In most of the cases studied, a similar conclusion emerges, namely that public transport will experience a marked decline in the coming years. The number of people who want to use public transport will decrease, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and people’s fears for their own safety.

На фоні активного розвитку інформаційних систем та збільшення вимог до них зростає різноманітність методів їх проектування, аналізу та технічної реалізації. Дослідження в даному напрямку проводяться досить широкі, а тому виникає все більше найрізноманітніших аспектів, які слід вивчити. Однак, попри велику кількість тем та проблем, які вивчаються, їх можна умовно поділити на дві категорії: технічні та теоретичні. До першої групи, як правило, відносяться дослідження, пов’язані з розробкою технічного забезпечення інформаційних систем. Попри це, не менш важливими є проблеми більш теоретичного характеру, які, в свою чергу, вивчають задачі оптимального розміщення та розподілу засобів, встановлення їх кількості, надійності системи, тощо.
Одним із найбільш актуальних напрямків дослідження в цій сфері є оцінка різних критеріїв та показників функціональної стійкості системи. Під функціональною стійкістю розуміють можливість системи бодай частково виконувати основні функції на фоні негативного впливу ззовні. До основних її показників відносять так звану ймовірність зв’язності, яка представляє собою ймовірність обміну повідомленнями між абонентами мережі. На фоні цього розроблено ряд як точних, так і наближених методів обрахунку цієї ймовірності. Однак, кожен з них має свої переваги та недоліки, а тому постає питання в їх порівнянні.
Особливий практичний інтерес виникає навколо того питання, який краще використовувати складніший, але точний метод обрахунку ймовірності передачі даних між абонентами чи простіший, але наближений? З цією метою в даній роботі проводиться порівняльний аналіз відомих методів, а саме методу повного перебору та методу Литвака-Ушакова. Наведено загальну їх суть та на конкретному прикладі демонструється їх використання. Розглянуто їх переваги та недоліки по відношенню один до одного та робиться загальний висновок щодо специфіки їх застосування.

Authors: Junaidi Junaidi 
Published: January 2024

Pinjaman keuangan yang diberikan Bank kepada Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PNS) merupakan salah satu produk perbankan baik itu bank konvensional maupun bank syariah. Bank Aceh Syariah dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pinjaman ini memberikan produk keuangan dengan skema murabahah (bagi hasil) namun dengan syarat dan ketentuan SK PNS sebagai jaminannya. Oleh karenanya tulisan ini ingin mengeksplorasi dan menganalisis tentang akad yang digunakan pada pinjaman keuangan dengan jaminan SK PNS tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yang deskriptif dengan dua sumber data, yaitu: sumber data primer dan sumber data sekunder. Sumber data primer didapatkan dari hasil wawancara dengan tiga nasabah Bank Aceh Syariah Capem Rimo Gunung Meriah Aceh Singkil, sedangkan sumber data sekunder diperoleh dari buku, artikel jurnal, dan web internet yang berkaitan dengan penelitian.
Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini bahwa pembiayaan yang dilakukan oleh Pegawai Negeri Sipil pada Lembaga Keuangan Syariah (LKS) hal yang biasa dilaksanakan dan ada akses yang telah diberikan oleh Bank Aceh Syariah dengan jenis akad multiguna yaitu akad murabahah, ijarah, dan musyarakah mutanaqisah. Praktik yang dilakukan di Bank Aceh Syariah Capem Rimo Gunung Meriah Aceh Singkil mengharuskan jaminan SK PNS sebagai jaminan (marhun). Dalam kitab fiqh sebagai dasar yang dijadikan acuan Lembaga Keuangan Syariah (LKS) bahwa jaminan harus berupa barang atau surat berharga yang dapat diperjual belikan. Oleh karen itu, dalam perspektif tersebut SK tidak bisa dianggap sebagai barang jaminan (marhun).

Authors: Smith Harriet , Fackrell Kathryn , Kennedy Veronica , Barry Johanna G. , Benton Claire , Partridge Lucy , Hoare Derek J. 
Published: January 2024

IntroductionTinnitus is a common disorder of the auditory system. Questionnaires are essential tools for clinical assessment and research. Whilst many questionnaires are available to measure different aspects of tinnitus complaint in adults, there is currently no self-report questionnaire measure of tinnitus that has been developed for or is suitable for use with children. This study describes the development of the first self-report measure of tinnitus impact for children aged 8–16 years old.MethodsTwo phases of questionnaire development were conducted. In Phase 1 children's tinnitus-related problems were elicited from interviews with children with tinnitus (n = 11; aged 9–16 years old), parents (n = 5), and clinicians (n = 8). Interview transcripts were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Findings were combined with problems identified by the clinical co-authors, researchers, and clinicians in a conference workshop, and those previously reported in service evaluation of UK National Health Service pediatric tinnitus services and in a scoping review. From this, a conceptual framework of tinnitus impact on health-related quality of life in children was developed. Based on the conceptual framework, a 38-item pilot questionnaire was drafted. In Phase 2, content validity of the pilot questionnaire was assessed in cognitive interviews with six children who had tinnitus (aged 8–15 years old) and an online survey with clinicians working in pediatric tinnitus services (n = 8 services and 28 clinicians). Finally, readability assessments were conducted. Feedback led to iterative revisions to the questionnaire. The final questionnaire was named the Impact of Tinnitus in Children Questionnaire (iTICQ).ResultsThe iTICQ contains three scene setting (non-scoring) items, and 33 scoring items covering six domains of tinnitus impact: Sleep and Feeling Tired, Learning, Emotional Health, Hearing and Listening, Taking Part, and Relationships.ConclusionsThe iTICQ is a new self-report measure of tinnitus impact that can be self-completed by children aged 8–16 years old. It shows good content validity and can be used to measure problem severity across the domains of core relevance to children with tinnitus. Further validation studies and translations of the iTICQ are indicated to determine its psychometric properties in different child populations and to make it widely accessible.

Published: January 2024

PurposeAtrial fibrosis is the main pathological basis for the pathogenesis and progression of atrial fibrillation (AF). Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) is involved in fibrosis. Recent studies have explored its predictive value in AF outcomes. We performed this study to assess whether sST2 is an independent biomarker of AF outcomes and explore the potential mechanism.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched systematically from inception through July 1, 2023, to identify relevant studies. Outcomes of interest included occurrence, recurrence, and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) of AF. This meta-analysis was reported following the criteria outlined in PRISMA 2020, and the protocol was registered in PROSPERO (number: CRD42023459789). All statistical analyses were performed using the STATA version 16.ResultTwenty four studies with 14,755 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analyses found that sST2 was significantly associated with the risk of occurrence [HR:1.04, 95% CI: 1.02–1.07, P &lt; 0.01; I2 = 67.8%], recurrence [HR:1.09, 95% CI: 1.02–1.16, P &lt; 0.01; I2 = 89.5%], and MACEs (HR:1.60, 95% CI: 1.13–2.27, P &lt; 0.01; I2 = 82.0%) of AF. Furthermore, patients with AF showed higher sST2 than controls without AF (SMD: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.27–0.54, P &lt; 0.01; I2 = 0%), and AF patients with recurrence after catheter ablation (CA) showed significantly higher sST2 than those without recurrence (SMD: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.33–1.28, P &lt; 0.01; I2 = 83.9%). Sensitivity analyses showed that the outcomes were stable.ConclusionsHigher sST2 was association with an increased risk of occurrence, recurrence, and MACEs of AF. Assessing sST2 can be used as a potential screening method to predict AF outcomes.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO (CRD42023459789).

IntroductionThe present study aims to describe a large cohort of Italian patients affected by osteogenesis imperfecta, providing a picture of the clinical bony and non-bony features and the molecular background to improve knowledge of the disease to inform appropriate management in clinical practice.MethodsA total of 568 subjects (from 446 unrelated Italian families) affected by osteogenesis imperfecta who received outpatient care at Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli from 2006 to 2021 were considered in the present study.ResultsSkeletal and extraskeletal features were analyzed showing a lower height (mean z-scores equal to -1.54 for male patients and -1.47 for female patients) compared with the general Italian population. Half of the patient population showed one or more deformities, and most of the patients had suffered a relatively low number of fractures (&lt;10). An alteration in the sclera color was identified in 447 patients. Similarly, several extraskeletal features, like deafness, dental abnormalities, and cardiac problems, were investigated. Additionally, inheritance and genetic background were evaluated, showing that most of the patients have a positive family history and the majority of pathogenic variants detected were on collagen genes, as per literature.ConclusionThis study supports the definition of a clear picture of the heterogeneous clinical manifestations leading to variable severity in terms of skeletal and extra-skeletal traits and of the genetic background of an Italian population of osteogenesis imperfecta patients. In this perspective, this clearly highlights the crucial role of standardized and structured collection of high-quality data in disease registries particularly in rare disease scenarios, helping clinicians in disease monitoring and follow-up to improve clinical practice.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: The creation of infrastructure in rural areas is an essential guarantee for the economic development and in improving farmers’ living standards. As a critical link between urban and rural production and consumption, rural logistics is essential to maximize the efficiency of rural infrastructure investment.Methods: Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2011–2020, the study analyzes the impact of high-quality development of rural logistics on the enhancement of residents’ consumption in terms of scale and quality, using a fixed-effects model.Results: It suggest that this development promotes the growth of rural residents’ consumption and quality, with a noticeable regional heterogeneity. The most significant effect is observed in the eastern region. Further analysis shows that inland and less developed provinces of rural e-commerce stimulate residents’ consumption upgrade with the help of high-quality development of rural logistics at a level weaker than coastal provinces and developed provinces of rural e-commerce.Discussion: Consequently, it is recommended to boost the building of logistics infrastructure in rural areas and actively cultivate diversified rural logistics operators in the western and northeastern regions. The contribution of this study is to examine the impact of rural logistics on rural residents’ consumption from the perspective of infrastructure, further validating the role of infrastructure development in promoting economic growth.
Climate factors drive plant distributions at higher taxonomic scales and larger spatial scales

Published: January 2024

IntroductionUnderstanding the environmental effects shaping plant distributions is crucial for predicting future ecosystems under climate change. The effects of different environmental factors may vary in their importance in determining plant distributions at different spatial and taxonomic scales, which affects our understanding of plant–environment relationships. However, this has not yet been systematically explored.MethodsHere we combined global distribution data of 205 widely distributed plant families and environmental data from multiple global databases. We then used the random forest algorithm to quantify the relative importance of environmental factors (including climate, soil, and topography) on the distribution of plants at three taxonomic levels (family, genus, and species) and multiple spatial scales (10 spatial extents from 1° × 1° to 10° × 10° randomly located across the globe). Mixed-effect models were used to assess the significance of spatial and taxonomic scales on relative environmental effects across the globe.ResultsWe found that climate factors had increasing importance on plant distributions at higher taxonomic scales and larger spatial scales (yet stochastic effects at spatial extents finer than 4° × 4°). Edaphic factors congruously decreased their importance on plant distributions as spatial and taxonomic scales increased. Topographic factors had a relatively larger influence at higher taxonomic levels (i.e., family&gt;genus&gt;species), but with a relatively slow rise with the increase in spatial scale.DiscussionsOur findings are generally aligned with current knowledge but have also indicated the potential complexity underlying the scale-dependence of relative environmental effects on plant distributions. Overall, we highlight a multi-scale insight into ecological patterns and underlying mechanistic processes.
