Panel Estimation of the Environmental Kuznets Curve for CO2 Emissions and Ecological Footprint: Environmental Sustainability in Developing Countries
Authors: Konya Sevilay 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Research background: The relationship between the economy and the environment is one of the most frequently encountered issues recently. Today the issue of environmental sustainability is one of the problems faced by countries.

Purpose: This study, it is aimed at investigating the relationship between economic and environmental variables.

Research methodology: The existence of the environmental Kuznets curve theory, in other words, the inverted U-connection between per capita carbon dioxide emissions, per capita ecological footprint, and per capita GDP in the examples of 10 developing countries is examined. We analyzed annual balanced panel data covering the period 1992–2014 for an inverted U-link between carbon dioxide emissions and ecological footprint and per capita GDP. Westerlund’s cointegration test was applied as a cointegration test. The Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG) and Augment Mean Group (AMG) estimator methods were applied for long-term parameter estimation. The Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality test was applied to determine the causal connections.

Results: As a result of the study, a positive and significant effect of electricity consumption on carbon dioxide emission was determined in the long term in the model where the ecological footprint is the dependent variable. In the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis, an inverted U-shaped relationship was determined. That is, the results confirming the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve have been determined. Finally, bidirectional causal links between carbon emissions and economic growth, between carbon dioxide emissions and the square of economic growth, and between carbon dioxide emissions and electricity consumption; It is observed between the ecological footprint and economic growth, between the ecological footprint and the square of economic growth, and between the ecological footprint and electricity consumption. It is expected that this article will make a significant contribution to the literature with the important results obtained by using both an ecological footprint and carbon dioxide emission as dependent variables.

Novelty: In this study, unlike other studies, two models were created with both CO2 emissions and the ecological footprint data as environmental variables.

Abstract

Objective
Serum lactate, a marker of tissue hypoxia, is an important prognostic factor in sepsis, trauma, and cardiogenic shock. Data on the direct correlation of serum lactate and in-hospital mortality in normotensive acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APE) patients, however, remains scarce.

Material and methods
We analyzed normotensive APE patients admitted to our clinic from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2021. Serum lactate was collected from arterial blood at admission.

Results
The study sample included 161 patients with an average age of 68.61 ± 11.54 years. 54.94% were female. In-hospital mortality was 19.88%.
In ROC analysis, serum lactate was a predictor of in-hospital mortality with an AUC of 0.662 (95%CI 0.584 – 0.735, p = 0.005). The cut-off level identified by the Youden index-associated criterion was > 38 mg/dL (34.38% sensitivity, 94.57% specificity).
In multivariable analysis for in-hospital mortality alongside the biomarkers proposed by the 2019 ESC guidelines for severity assessment, lactate > 38 mg/dL was an independent predictor of mortality (OR 10.92, 95%CI 3.04 – 39.29, p < 0.001).
The prediction model including PESI score, right ventricular dysfunction, troponin I, and lactate > 38 mg/dL had the best predictive performance for in-hospital mortality (AUC 0.807, p < 0.001).

Conclusions
Elevated serum lactate is an independent predictor of all-cause in-hospital mortality of normotensive APE patients, with the optimal cut-off > 38 mg/dL. Adding the lactate level for mortality prediction outperformed the 2019 ESC guidelines algorithm for severity assessment of normotensive APE patients.
Re-contextualizando la temprana recepción de Montessori en España (1906-1936)
Authors: Quiroga Uceda Patricia 
Published: December 2022

Maria Montessori es una figura intelectual que emerge con voz propia en la historia de la educación transnacional del siglo XX. En el caso de España su influencia ha sido y sigue siendo profunda. Lo que se plantea en este trabajo es un estudio histórico de su temprana recepción en el contexto español en las tres décadas que transcurren de 1906 a 1936. El punto de partida es una re-contextualización de sus ideas educativas desde la óptica de campos de conocimientos diferenciados de la propia pedagogía. Un aspecto aún no abordado por los historiadores de la educación. El estudio se enmarca en la corriente de la historia intelectual, más específicamente en los estudios de circulación, transferencia y recepción de ideas. Se toman como referencia principal los trabajos de historiadores como David Armitage y David Boucher, que han desarrollado enfoques contextuales analíticos para el estudio de las ideas y su reconfiguración en espacios geográficos determinados y periodos temporales específicos. Se plantea una re-contextualización del proceso de recepción de las ideas de Montessori a partir de tres campos aparentemente distantes de la pedagogía en las tres primeras décadas del siglo XX en España como lo eran la política, la religión y la medicina. Se constata una recepción trasversal y compleja de las ideas de Montessori en España que abarca un ancho espectro ideológico. Se detecta también que campos como la política y la religión se adelantaron al campo de la pedagogía en la recepción de la obra de Montessori.

The subject of the study is the problems of the participation of public organizations in ensuring and improving the legal regulation of public relations, as well as the coordination of professional activities of lawyers, analyzed by the example of the functioning of the American Bar Association. The article examines and highlights the issues of the history of the formation of the legal profession and legal education in the United States, the formation of a professional association of lawyers in this country, its status and main activities. Previously, the issues of the organization and activities of the American Bar Association have not been studied in Russian legal science, although the results of such a study can serve as a comparative study of Russian and foreign experience on essential aspects of the functioning of professional associations of lawyers in Russia. The scientific novelty of the study is to highlight the nature and functions of the American Bar Association, which fills a significant gap in the study of foreign experience of professional associations of lawyers. The results obtained are based on original sources, acts and materials published directly by the American Bar Association, as well as commentatory literature. The features of the formation of the legal profession in the USA, the role and place of the association of lawyers, the nature of program documents and contradictory aspects of the implementation of the goals and objectives of this professional association in its practice are demonstrated, including conclusions about the importance of a number of targets that are implemented in the main modules of the activities of this public professional association.
Traditional kava use and body sway: A pilot investigation
Authors: Aporosa S 'Apo' , Hébert-Losier Kim , Aughton Harvey 
Published: December 2022

Introduction The (traditionally influenced) consumption of kava (Piper methysticum) has been associated with increased body sway, raising concerns about fall risk. However, studies typically utilise pill-styled kava extracts with a lack of understanding regarding experienced naturalistic kava drinkers. This pilot study investigated the effects of naturalistic kava consumption over a six-hour period on postural control. Methods Six experienced male kava drinkers consumed 100ml of kava every 10 minutes over six hours in a culturally responsive setting. Postural control was examined at three time points (Pre, Mid, and Post) using a 30-seconds eyes-closed feet-together postural balance test conducted on a 3D force plate. Centre of pressure path length, average velocity, and area of the 95th percentile ellipse data were extracted and compared between time points using a one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Findings There were no significant differences in the centre of pressure parameters. Based on the Pre and Post differences for path length and average velocity logged values, this study would require 19 participants to achieve an 80% power and 5% significance level. Discussion Irrespective of limited sample size, our preliminary results do not support that kava consumption negatively affects postural control, findings that appear to be corroborated by a recent neuroscience study. The perceived risks of naturalistic kava consumption with regards to falls may be overstated. Further study on the physiological implications of kava consumption in naturalistic settings is needed to quantify the actual risks.
Highlights• Kava is a culturally significant drink for Pacific people• Anecdotal reports describe impaired balance following high traditional use volumes• Postural control was tested during and following kava use in a pilot study• Contrary to hypothesis, results do not show that kava negatively affects postural control

Introduction: Pasifika young people of Aotearoa New Zealand are known to experience higher rates of mental health and addiction conditions (especially anxiety and depression), compared with young non-Māori/non-Pasifika (NMNP). However, there is little information about how well these issues are identified by mental health services.
Aim: We compared rates of diagnosis of common mental health and substance use-related conditions between Pasifika and NMNP young people (aged 10-24 years) and examined how these diagnoses varied with deprivation.
Method: This national, cross-sectional study was undertaken using 2017/18 fiscal year data from a national database known as the Integrated Data Infrastructure. Specialist mental health service use, hospitalisations and pharmaceutical dispensing for any mental health condition, emotional condition (depression and/or anxiety), substance use-related conditions, and self-harm were examined.
Results: A total of 982,305 young people (12.4%, Pasifika and 63.9%, NMNP) were identified. Compared with NMNP, Pasifika young people were significantly less likely to be diagnosed by specialist mental health services with any mental health condition (adjusted Risk Ratio (aRR) = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.75 to 0.78); any emotional condition (aRR= 0.44, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 0.43 to 0.45); or to be hospitalised for self-harm (aRR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.82 to 0.94). However, they were significantly more likely than NMNP to be diagnosed with substance use-related conditions (aRR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.63 to 1.74). Although the overall rate of mental health issues remained relatively stable across deprivation levels, emotional conditions were much less frequently diagnosed in those with greater deprivation.
Discussion: Discrepancies between expected and identified rates of diagnoses of common mental health and substance use-related conditions might indicate different patterns of service access by Pasifika young people, or they may reflect the bias of an inequitable and less than culturally appropriate health system.

Salah satu sumber getaran pada kapal adalah akibat kerja mesin induk. Material struktur menjadi salah satu penentu besarnya amplitudo yang terjadi. Kapal monohull dengan penggunaan 3 mesin menjadi objek dari penelitian ini. Getaran pada dinding di ruang penumpang menjadi penting ketika amplitudo yang terjadi mengganggu penumpang di dalamnya. Karakteristik getaran perlu diketahui agar dapat dicarikan solusi untuk mengatasinya. Pengukuran getaran langsung di kapal menggunakan vibrometer dan dilanjutkan dengan menggunakan simulasi hingga diperoleh karakteristik getaran pada dinding kapal ini. Hasil pengukuran di lapangan menunjukkan angka amplitudo di atas 0,2 mm melebihi batas yang diijinkan yaitu 0,02 mm. Diperlukan simulasi untuk menggambarkan distribusi getaran pada dinding kapal. Hal ini untuk mempermudah proses analisa pola distribusi getaran . Hasil simulasi pada dinding kapal menunjukkan bahwa getaran dalam arah vertikal mempunyai nilai amplitudo yang lebih besar dan frekuensi lebih rendah dibandingkan arah getaran horisontal. Hal ini mengindikasikan konstruksi dalam keadaan buruk jika frekuensi natural dari sistem tersebut mendekati nilai frekuensi eksitasi akibat operasional mesin. Getaran yang diteruskan dari sumber getaran tidak teredam dengan baik dalam arah vertikal. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan besarnya nilai amplitudo yang mencapai 10 kali lebih besar dari amplitudo arah getaran horisontal. Penelitian ini menunjukkan diperlukan peredam pada bagian dinding kapal agar getaran dalam arah vertikal dapat dikurangi. Adapun cara meredam getaran dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai cara. Solusi untuk mengurangi getaran ini menjadi peluang untuk dilakukan penelitian lainnya.

Prevalence of poor sleep quality and associated lifestyle habits: A cross-sectional study in community pharmacies
Authors: Fuentes-Senise Carlos , García-Corpas José P. 
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Many lifestyle habits can negatively affect sleep quality (SQ) and lead to poor quality of life. This makes it important to determine the prevalence of poor SQ in the population and the lifestyle habits that may be associated with it, with a view to designing appropriate interventions for improving SQ. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of poor SQ among the population of Salamanca (Spain) and its relationship with specific lifestyle habits
Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out between July and November 2019. SQ was studied in 261 patients using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the frequency with which patients performed a series of lifestyle habits was quantified. The association between variables was assessed using multivariate binary logistic regression.
Results: Almost half of the study population (48.7%) was found to have poor SQ. Physical exercise was a protective factor against poor SQ (OR = 0.221; CI95%: 0.081-0.603). Risk factors for poor SQ included being disturbed at night (OR = 3.606; CI95%: 1.892-6.872), going to bed preoccupied (OR = 3.145; CI95%: 1.528-6.471), reading trivial material (OR = 2.475; CI95%: 1.208-5.070), and playing video games (OR = 3.639; CI95%: 1.326-9.984).
Conclusions: In Salamanca (Spain), almost half of the study population stated that they suffered poor SQ. Although numerous lifestyle habits that may relate to poor SQ were studied, a statistically significant relationship was only found for a few of them.
OBSERVER OF SPEED AND FLUX LINKAGE IN THE SYSTEM OF VECTOR CONTROL OF ASYNCHRONOUS ELECTRIC DRIVE
Authors: Klyuyev O. , Sadovoi A. , Sokhina Y. 
Published: December 2022

The use of physical sensors in electric drive control systems requires taking into account their additional dynamics in the model of the control object, which can cause problems with the synthesis of regulators due to an excessive increase in the order of the control object model. The use of observers makes it possible to recover state variables that are not available for direct measurement and to exclude additional sensors, which contributes to the improvement of operational and cost indicators of control systems. The structure of the observer in asynchronous electric drives must contain such an adaptation function that ensures the asymptotic convergence of the observer to the reference model, which is a real object of control.
The article presents a synthesis of the speed observer and flux linkage of the rotor of an asynchronous machine in a sensorless field-oriented control system. Equations of electromagnetic processes in an asynchronous machine, formulas of coordinate converters and equations of a PI controller are used as the initial mathematical model. By transforming the differential equations of the asynchronous machine, the structure of the adaptation function is determined, which adjusts the observer model in such a way that the deviations of the stator currents from their calculated values ​​go to zero. In this way, the adaptation function, which uses the vector product of the rotor flux linkage vectors and the stator current, ensures the stability of the movement of the speed identifier.
In the proposed observer of the speed of an asynchronous machine, which uses stator currents to ensure the asymptotic stability of the observer, in the process of research on mathematical models, self-oscillations of the speed estimate were not found, in contrast to the well-known observer, which uses deviations of the flux links. It is possible to avoid self-oscillations not only by selecting the gain factors of the PI controller, but also due to the fact that there are no integrators not covered by negative feedback in the structure of the observer's electromagnetic circuits.

An optoelectronic system for controlling a direct current motor
Authors: Syroka Zenon 
Published: December 2022

The software for an optoelectronic system for controlling a direct current (DC) motor is presented in Part 2 of the article. The structure of the designed control system was described in Part 1. The developed system processes data received from an infrared transmitter. The project was upgraded in successive stages of development, and it ultimately evolved into a small computer with a motor controller. The designed system automatically adjusts the motor’s rotation and speed. The user is tasked only with conveying operational commands. The entire system is based on a single microcontroller. The designed optoelectronic system receives user commands (the program can be modified to support free-space optical communication networks conforming to all communication standards). The system activates the motor, counts the number of rotations and adjusts the motor’s position. The designed system operates on the following principle: the user sends commands to the motor via a remote control with an infrared diode. The keys on the remote control have been programmed with different commands. The transmitted data are processed by the system which activates the motor and sets the desired motor speed. The task is completed, and the system is ready to process the next command. If the number of rotations differs from the preset value, the motor’s position is adjusted. If the physical position of the rotor axis is altered, the system corrects the offset to the last programmed position. The designed system can be easily adapted to various types of motors and IR controllers.
