A Discounted-Cashflow Based Discussion on Price Rent Ratios From a Lifecycle-Investor Perspective.
Authors: Vogt Jonas 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The price-rent ratio is as a widely employed metric for evaluating and assessing real estate investment opportunities. This article presents a derivation of this metric from the perspective of a life-cycle investor contemplating the purchase of a property for owner-occupation, anchored in a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation. Subsequent discourse on pertinent input parameter values and resulting ratio values is based oninsights drawn from both academic research and practical literature.
Autonomy and Coping with Stress in Persons with ASD
Authors: Prokopiak Anna 
Published: December 2023

This article presents empirical analysis of selected issues related to autonomy of persons with ASD, along with the psychosocial conditions of its development. This analysis is an attempt to determine direct causes and particular types of conditions necessary for the development of autonomy in people with autism, manifested in the capacity of coping with stress. The theoretical basis for the research is the three-component model of autonomy, under which autonomy is an internal attribute of each person, manifesting itself in the qualities of authorship (the person feels to be the author of his/her own behaviour), interest-taking (reflection on internal and external events), and absence of the perceived sense of pressure or control.
The research problems in this study concern the level of autonomy in people with ASD, the level of their psychosocial functioning in the dimension of coping with stress, and the potential correlations between the two parameters.
A diagnostic survey method was used to obtain the research material, which employed the following research tools: Index of Autonomous Functioning, The Autism-Spectrum Quotient, Coping Inventory, the author’s own Interview Questionnaire, developed for the purposes of our study regarding age, gender, marital status, residence, education, income, past therapy and current health conditions.

Ochrobactrum Anthropi; an Unusual Cause of Bacteremia and Pneumonia:
A Case Report and a Brief Review of the Literature
Authors: Chao Zefr , Fayyaz Anaam , Antony Suresh 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Ochrobactrum anthropi spp. is a non-enteric, aerobic gram-negative bacillus
that has been reported to cause sepsis and occasionally bacteremia in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. This bacterium is capable of surviving in various habitats, but due to its affinity for aqueous environments, O. anthropi is hypothesized to have an affinity for indwelling plastic devices and other foreign bodies.

Case Presentation:
We report a case of a 66 y/o male with a history of polysubstance abuse disorder
admitted for toxic metabolic encephalopathy and found to have bronchopneumonia and bacteremia secondary to O. anthropi infection, resulting in sepsis and cardiopulmonary arrest

Discussion:
Ochrobactrum spp. is an unusual pathogen of low virulence and has been noted to cause
bacteremia and occasionally sepsis in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients. Isolation
of this pathogen in the appropriate setting should be considered a true pathogen and treated as such to
avoid sequela of this infection.

Conclusion:
This case report and literature review suggest that Ochrobactrum Anthropi appears more
frequently as a pathogen in nosocomial infections than suggested in the literature.
Japanese Midwives’ Perceptions of Goal Setting with Hospitalized Women with Pregnancy Complications: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
Authors: Iwata Tomomi , Matsuzaki Masayo 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Midwives aid hospitalized women with pregnancy complications in setting pregnancy duration goals for maternal and fetal well-being. However, there is little research regarding midwives’ views on goal setting among inpatients with pregnancy complications.

Objective:
This study examined how Japanese midwives perceive the significance of goal setting among women hospitalized for pregnancy complications.

Methods:
This qualitative descriptive study was conducted at five tertiary perinatal centers in Mie Prefecture, Japan, from January 2019 to June 2020. Data were collected through purposive sampling using semi-structured, one-on-one interviews with Japanese midwives experienced in antenatal care for high-risk pregnant women. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data.

Results:
Thirteen midwives participated in this study. According to the data analysis, goal setting is significant in four ways: (a) relieving psychological distress among pregnant women, (b) helping pregnant women think positively about their efforts to continue the pregnancy, (c) promoting the transition to motherhood, and (d) contributing to the effective care of pregnant women.

Conclusion:
This study indicates midwives’ recognition that goal setting positively contributes to the psychosocial status of hospitalized pregnant women and the care provided to them. These results suggest that midwives support pregnant women in goal setting by considering their current situation and future mother–child relationships.

The Pancasila Student Profile certainly needs to be actualized in students so that they can have the ability, achievement, and noble character. This study aims to determine the development of an encyclopedia learning medium for Pancasila and citizenship education based on interactive multimedia to increase the profile of Pancasila students at Korpri Karawang High School. The type of research used is a research and development approach with the ADDIE model; this research uses a mixed-methods approach—data collection techniques using a questionnaire. The data analysis techniques used are deductive analysis, inductive analysis, reliability tests, validity tests, reliability tests, normality tests, homogeneity tests, the mean test of two independent samples, and hypothesis testing. The results showed that the valuation of the civic education Encyclopedia learning media validation instrument showed that the instrument used was feasible at 80%. There is a significant difference in the increase in the profile of Pancasila students in class X at Korpri Karawang High School after being given civic education encyclopedia learning media. A comparative sample test related to the experimental class with the paired sample test obtained a significance result of 0.000, meaning that H0: μc = μk is rejected because 0.000 0.05 and H1: μc μk is accepted. This research recommends that in the learning process, it is hoped that teachers can utilize technology by using civic education encyclopedia learning media products that can be implemented with students during the learning process.
Spiritual origin of national patriotic education in the military chaplaincy system
Authors: Lomachinska Iryna , Alekseienko Olena 
Published: December 2023

The article examines the role of military chaplaincy in the formation of national-patriotic education of the Ukrainian army. The relevance and novelty of the research lies in determining the essence of Ukrainian military patriotism’s spiritual foundations, which is formed on the archetypes of "clan", "Father", "Mother", "Family". Historically, "Father" embodies power, dominion not only over the body, but also over the soul, he brings conscience and moral grounds for subordination in the entire military family, based on the principles of fraternity. The archetype of "Mother" was formed from ancient Slavic ideas about Berehynia, in the Christian era it receives a new incarnation in the image of the Mother of God as the heavenly protector of the entire human race.
One of a woman-mother archetype’s varieties in Ukrainian spiritual culture is Mother Nature, which transforms into the archetype of Mother Earth, which in turn is transferred to the paradigm of the native land - "Nenka-Ukraina", creating the archetype of the Motherland. The lack of desire to conquer others and the desire to preserve one's original, native, defines the essence of the Ukrainian army’s patriotism. It has been established that the Orthodox tradition of military chaplaincy is based on the spiritual union of Cossacks and monasticism during the liberation struggle. Later, the formation of the Ukrainian military clergy was closely connected with the Greek Catholic Church, which at that time had the greatest experience in moral and spiritual support of the Ukrainian national liberation struggle participants in the western Ukrainian lands. The dangers of the destructive influence of pro-Russian denominations’ priests on the moral and psychological state of military personnel are analyzed. It was noted that the armed aggression against Ukraine led to the intensified use of the church and the clergy’s potential for consolidation of the population and strengthening of patriotic feelings in servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as to expose and isolate pro-Russian religious communities. On the basis of the positive experience of the leading world’s countries, an own system of professional training and education of personnel was created, which was based on defining principles: national dignity, patriotism, Christian morality, fidelity to the oath, fidelity to military duty.

Authors: Kotov S. V. , Semenov A. P. , Yusufov A. G. , Guspanov R. I. 
Published: December 2023

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a highly prevalent condition in older men, often associated with both lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and reduced quality of sexual life. During the past three decades, researchers have focused on improving new operative techniques to reduce complications of traditional surgery for BPH, such as urethral stricture, stress urinary incontinence. Surgeons have increased interest in investigating the relationship between surgical treatment and postoperative sexual dysfunction such as erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, as the demand to minimise adverse events has become a concern for more patients. In view of the above, this paper aims to systematise information on the quality of sexual life of patients after surgical treatment of BPH. This work has shown that this problem remains topical to nowadays. It is noteworthy that only a limited number of well-designed, randomised studies exist on this issue. This is mainly due to the unavailability of a uniform methodology for assessing sexual function in surgically treated BPH-patients.

Introduction. Laparoscopic simple prostatectomy is the method of choice for surgical treatment of large-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, the existing limitations of standard approaches are the reason for the development of new modifications.Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP), supplemented by temporary internal iliac arteries (IIA) clamping and vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA).Materials & methods. This multicenter open study included 195 patients (mean age 68.1 ± 6.4 years) who underwent LSP combined with temporary IIA clamping and VUA. The primary efficacy criterias during one follow-up year were the severity of urinary symptoms (IPSS), quality of life, maximum flow rate and post-void residual volume. All complications that developed during the 12-month postoperative follow-up period were registered. Statistical calculations were performed using IBM SPSS 23.2 software.Results. The average surgery time was 91.5 ± 23.2 minutes. Complications of Clavien-Dindo I, II, III grades were noted in 1.0%, 1.0% and 3.6% of patients, respectively; no complications of group IV developed. The mean bed-days were 5.2 ± 1.5 days, the decrease in hemoglobin was 0.6 ± 1.1 g/dL. No patient needed to use an irrigation system. Based on the results of 12 months postoperative follow-up, positive dynamics was established for average IPSS score (p = 0.003), QoL (p = 0.035), maximum urine flow rate (p = 0.012), residual urine volume (p = 0.004). The maximum urine flow rate one year after surgery reached 24.6 ± 2.8 ml/s, the post-void residual urine volume was 15.1 ± 11.9 ml, the average IPSS score was 9.1 ± 1.5, and the QoL score – 1.0 ± 0.7. During the 12-month follow-up period, a low amount of long-term complications was noted in 4 (2.1%) cases: 3 (1.6%) patients had stress urinary incontinence, 1 (0.5%) patient had bladder neck contracture.Conclusion. Modified LSP combined with temporary IIA clamping and VUA is associated with favorable efficacy and safety profile of the intervention in patients with large-volume BPH.
Autologous platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome in women: evaluation of clinical efficacy
Authors: Medvedev V. L. , Lepetunov S. N. , Kogan M. I. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The pathogenetic theory of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC / BPS) development declares that due to vascular changes and trophic disorders in the bladder wall, a complex of dystrophic, necrobiotic and sclerotic processes develops, involving all layers of the bladder wall with the subsequent development of fibrosis. Therapy of moderate-to-severe symptoms of IC/BPS that recommended in EAU guidelines is not so effective.Objective. To evaluate the results of intradetrusor autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in female IC / BPS-patients.Matherials & methods. A single-centre controlled randomized prospective trial that includes 85 women from 20 to 79 years old and with average disease duration of 4.8 ± 2.1 years. They were divided into two groups: group 1 — 35 patients were treated with total of five cystoscopies and hydrodistension, each once in two weeks for 10 weeks; group 2 — 50 patients were treated with total of 5 intradetrusor PRP-injection (mean platelet concentration was 982 х 103/l) into 20 – 22 points, each once in two weeks. We assessed pain (VAS-scale), urgency and frequency (PUF-scale, IUS-scale), bladder urinary, Global Response Assessment (GRA), bladder diary and bladder capacity before treatment, after one and 12 months.Results. Conventional IC/BPS therapy leads to a significant reduction in symptoms one month after its completion, and a similar pattern of symptoms and signs is observed in the PRP-treatment group. However, in group 1, negative dynamics is further determined up to 12 months, but the indicators do not reach the initial values. In contrast, in group 2, we found stabilisation of pain severity and improvement of all other symptoms and signs by 12 months compared to baseline and one month after the completion of PRP-therapy.Conclusion. The developed method of PRP-therapy of IC/BPS has high efficacy not only at the treatment completion, but also at monitoring of patients for 24 months. PRP-therapy combined with classical treatment will probably have a higher level of efficacy both in terms of symptoms and signs of the disease over a long-term monitoring.

Authors: Wang Jie , Tan Fangqin , Wang Zhenzhong , Yu Yiwen , Yang Jingsong , Wang Yueqing , Shao Ruitai , Yin Xuejun 
Published: December 2023

Background
Hypertension and diabetes are global health challenges requiring effective management to mitigate their considerable burden. The successful management of hypertension and diabetes requires the completion of a sequence of stages, which are collectively termed the care cascade.

Objective
This scoping review aimed to describe the characteristics of studies on the hypertension and diabetes care cascade and identify potential interventions as well as factors that impact each stage of the care cascade.

Methods
The method of this scoping review has been guided by the framework by Arksey and O’Malley. We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science using terms pertinent to hypertension, diabetes, and specific stages of the care cascade. Articles published after 2011 were considered, and we included all studies that described the completion of at least one stage of the care cascade of hypertension and diabetes. Study selection was independently performed by 2 paired authors. Descriptive statistics were used to elucidate key patterns and trends. Inductive content analysis was performed to generate themes regarding the barriers and facilitators for improving the care cascade in hypertension and diabetes management.

Results
A total of 128 studies were included, with 42.2% (54/128) conducted in high-income countries. Of them, 47 (36.7%) focused on hypertension care, 63 (49.2%) focused on diabetes care, and only 18 (14.1%) reported on the care of both diseases. The majority (96/128, 75.0%) were observational in design. Cascade stages documented in the literature were awareness, screening, diagnosis, linkage to care, treatment, adherence to medication, and control. Most studies focused on the stages of treatment and control, while a relative paucity of studies examined the stages before treatment initiation (76/128, 59.4% vs 52/128, 40.6%). There was a wide spectrum of interventions aimed at enhancing the hypertension and diabetes care cascade. The analysis unveiled a multitude of individual-level and system-level factors influencing the successful completion of cascade sequences in both high-income and low- and middle-income settings.

Conclusions
This review offers a comprehensive understanding of hypertension and diabetes management, emphasizing the pivotal factors that impact each stage of care. Future research should focus on upstream cascade stages and context-specific interventions to optimize patient retention and care outcomes.

Authors: García Ibrahim , Manduca Artiles Michel , Jáuregui-Haza Ulises Javier 
Published: December 2023

La contaminación de las aguas es uno de los principales problemas ambientales que la comunidad científica internacional enfrenta actualmente, debido al vertiginoso aumento del vertimiento deslocalizado de compuestos orgánicos persistentes y elementos metálicos traza, cuya presencia tiene un elevado impacto en la salud humana y los ecosistemas. En el presente trabajo se realizó un análisis bibliográfico sobre la contaminación de aguas superficiales por elementos metálicos traza y sus principales fuentes de contaminación, dentro de las cuales la actividad minera e industrial son las principales fuentes antrópicas que contribuyen con el aumento de dichos contaminantes. Se exponen algunas de las sintomatologías derivadas del envenenamiento por elementos metálicos traza como el arsénico, plomo, mercurio y cromo en humanos. También se investigó sobre las ventajas y desventajas de los métodos convencionales (precipitación química, floculación/coagulación, intercambio iónico, membranas) y no convencionales (adsorción, fitorremediación, pilas de combustión microbianas y el uso de nanotecnologías) empleados en el tratamiento de las aguas contaminadas por elementos metálicos traza. La metodología más empleada para la eliminación de los elementos metálicos traza es la adsorción y el adsorbente más utilizado es el carbón activado (CA). En este trabajo se abunda sobre la relación entre los parámetros externos (pH, temperatura y fuerza iónica) e internos (área superficial, tamaño de poros y la presencia de heteroátomos) en el proceso de adsorción empleando el CA y de las fuentes de materia prima para la obtención de estos.
