Will E. coli retain its leading position as a causative agent of urinary tract infection in children?
Authors: Nikitin S. S. , Guseva N. B. , Nikitin V. S. 
Published: March 2023

Introduction. According to information from various literature sources, Escherichia coli is the most common (80–90%) causative agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children, it also significantly exceeds the frequency of occurrence of other bacteria, although there is a tendency to gradually decrease its specific gravity, especially against the background of other pathogens of the intestinal group.Aim. To determine the specific gravity of E. coli as the causative agent of UTI, depending on age against the background of other pathogens.Materials and methods. The study involved 133 children aged 1–17 years with UTI, girls – 107, boys – 26. The bacteriological method determined the pathogen, its sensitivity to standard antibiotics and the ability to produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL). Statistical processing was carried out in the Excel program. In the statistical study of the conjugacy of the signs age and infection, the Kruskal – Wallis criterion was used. Patients are grouped into the following age categories: 1–3, 4–7, 8–11, 12–14 and 15–17 years.Results. The authors of the article provided information that E. coli, although it is the leader, but its share is not as large as is commonly believed and is only 26–29%, while 18% of the total are producers of ESBL. The article shows the distribution of UTI pathogens by age groups of children and calculates the empirical probability of detecting various pathogens at different ages. It is shown that the age group of 8–11 years is most susceptible to mixed infection. According to the structure of mixed infections, these are combinations of pathogens of the intestinal group: E. coli with E. faecalis or E. faecium or with Klebsiella pneumoniae.Conclusions. The authors raised the question of the need in the near future to correct the schemes of empirical antibacterial therapy in connection with the excess of the justified 10–20% resistance of E. coli to cephalosporins of the 3rd generation due to an increase in the frequency of ESBL production.

Published: March 2023

Introduction. The variability of the dentition terms is caused by numerous factors: the age and health of the parents, the parity, etc. Children may experience discomfort, which may be relieved by various pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. Aim. To study the effect of factors on the temporary teeth eruption in children, the severity of discomfort symptoms and the therapeutic efficacy of a homeopathic medicine during the period of dentition.Materials and methods. The study included patients aged 4 months to 2 years. All children were divided into two groups. Group I included 97 apparently healthy children, Group II included 318 children with verified somatic pathology, who had residual effects of the perinatal hypoxic nervous system injury.Results and discussion. The analyses of correlation relationship between the dentition terms and medical and biological factors during pregnancy and childbirth in children showed the pronounced relationships: in group I – between the 53rd tooth eruption timing and the age of the mother, the mother’s disease during pregnancy, the threat of miscarriage (r = 0.98, p < 0.05); in group II – a high correlation coefficient between the 65th tooth eruption timing and acute infections suffered by the mother during pregnancy (r = 0.76; p < 0.05). Symptoms associated with teething were observed in 61% of children in group I and 72% (p < 0.05) in group II. Given the low awareness of parents about the homeopathic medicine (8.5%), we gave a talk and suggested using a homeopathic medicine during the next tooth eruption in a child.Conclusions. The temporary teeth eruption timetable is influenced by the course of the antenatal period, the mother’s age and the residual effects of the perinatal hypoxic nervous system injury. The homeopathic medicine is indicated to relieve symptoms of discomfort during the dentition period in the first year of life.

Published: March 2023

Introduction. According to current clinical guidelines for the effective treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) in children and adolescents, regular self-monitoring of blood glucose using a glucose meter is an integral part of all training and long-term follow-up programs.Aim. To evaluate the clinical and metabolic efficiency of the method of self-monitoring of glycemia with a home glucometer in patients with diabetes DM1.Materials and methods. The study included 107 patients with DM1 using the method of self-monitoring of glycemia using a home glucometer. Based on the received reports was evaluated the average level of glycemia, glycemia above the target range, time in range, glycemia below the target range, frequency of hypoglycemia, the frequency of daily measurements, as well as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Statistical analysis was carried out using the program IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0.Results. During the work, children and adolescents with DM1 showed a decrease in HbA1c from 8.5% [7.2; 9.7] to 8.0% [6.9; 9.0] (p < 0.005). There was a decrease in TAR and TBR by 5 and 0.4%, respectively (p = 0.002, p < 0.001), which causes an increase in TIR from 44.4% [33; 56] to 49.8% [32; 75] (p = 0.003). During the study, patients were divided into groups according to the frequency of daily measurements, which revealed a decrease in HbA1c from 8.2% [7.2; 9.4] to 7.8% [6.9; 8.8] (p < 0.001) in the group with a frequency of daily measurements 6 per a day and more compared with the group where the frequency of measurements was less than 6 per a day.Findings. Conscious self-monitoring, combined with quality physician support, ensures the achievement of diabetes targets and a decrease in glycemic variability when using the self-monitoring method with a home glucometer. Using specialized software to work with a home glucometer helps to reduce the time to achieve compensation for type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents.

Introdução: Estudos sobre análise quantitativa da deglutição são de extrema importância, porém ainda não estão definidos na literatura os parâmetros de normalidade e existem diferentes escalas de avaliação dos fenômenos biomecânicos desta função. Investigar as diferentes definições das variáveis quantitativas temporais pode contribuir para a melhor definição e determinação dos tempos e marcadores fisiológicos da deglutição para diferentes populações. Objetivo: Analisar, de forma quantitativa, a fase oral da deglutição de indivíduos com Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC). Método: Foram incluídos 25 indivíduos adultos clinicamente estáveis com DPOC, média de idade de 65,7±8,9, de ambos os sexos. A análise foi feita a partir da Videofluoroscopia da deglutição (VFD). Três juízes cegados e treinados realizaram a análise da variável quantitativa temporal Tempo de Trânsito Oral seguindo a classificação proposta por dois diferentes autores (TTO e TTOT), bem como das variáveis visuoperceptuais. O estado de conservação dentária também foi avaliado. Resultados: Observou-se TTO de 2,09s para líquido e 1,61s para pastoso, e TTOT de 2,34s e 1,84s para líquido e pastoso, respectivamente. Os TTOs estão alterados e maiores à medida que a gravidade da DPOC aumenta. Para ambas as consistências, o local do disparo da deglutição ocorreu em regiões anatômicas superiores. Houve ausência de escape posterior precoce e resíduo faríngeo na maioria dos pacientes. Conclusão: Observou-se alteração na fase oral da deglutição em indivíduos com DPOC, os quais apresentaram TTO aumentado e mau estado de conservação dentária.

The multi-point hydraulic control method for advanced controller design of the open canal irrigation systems
Authors: Zhu Zheli , Guan Guanghua , Wang Kang 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Most studies about the automatic control of open canal irrigation systems only focus on the distant downstream water level, which ignores the fact that the offtakes may be located anywhere along the canal. Such a simplified control strategy is likely to result in uncontrollable and inefficient water delivery. Therefore, a multi-point hydraulic control method is proposed, in which a simplified Saint-Venant model is formulated to describe the hydraulic states of multiple controlled points. Then, it is underlined that the controlled points with and without the offtakes may have different control objectives. It is suggested to implement soft constraints to the downstream end when there is no offtake, meaning that moderate water level fluctuations are acceptable. By comparing with the common model predictive control (MPC) controller, where the Integrator Delay model and hard constraint are used for distant downstream water level control, the proposed MPC controller successfully improved the water level control stability before the offtakes and the water supply reliability by 91 and 69.5% under the conventional condition and by 54.9 and 27.1% under the water-deficient condition. Accordingly, the proposed multi-point hydraulic control method shows great potential for the precision irrigation of large irrigation districts.
Towards a new spatial representation of faecal sources and pathways in unsewered urban catchments using open-source data

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Spatial representation of sanitation infrastructure and service coverage is essential for management planning and prioritising services. The provision of sanitation services in developing countries is inherently unequal because the sanitation infrastructure is lacking, and onsite sanitation is managed individually. Here, we developed a prototype method for creating a spatial representation of faecal sources and movement in a small area in Rajshahi city in northwest Bangladesh, which is representative of 60 other such secondary cities. We demonstrate an approach to estimate spatial variability in faecal production at the building scale by combining widely accessible buildings, ground elevation, and population data. We also demonstrate an approach to attribute potential faecal movement pathways by integrating drainage data, and faecal production at the building scale. We made use of free and open-source data and provide answers to the broader topic of spatial representation of faecal mobility in unsewered urban settings, which has implications in a similar setting in developing countries.
POWER PLANT

INTRODUCTION
Power plants or generating stations are facilities for generating electric power,
which has become essential to our present lifestyle. Electric power supports
many of our daily activities, including lighting, air circulation, HVAC, TV
watching, cell phones, computers, elevators, etc. The generated power is
delivered using complex systems of wires, towers, underground stations,
transformers, control stations, etc., to consumer sites such as homes,
apartments, stores, industry, and schools. These interconnected systems are
known as grids.
PIPE FLOW AND FLOW METERING
Authors: Wang Yun 
Published: March 2023

INTRODUCTIONFlow and volume measurement of incompressible fluids are prevalent in many
engineering processes. Flows in a pipe network, also called pipe flow, are
widely encountered in industry and our daily activities. For example, water is
delivered to homes via the pipelines of a water distribution infrastructure. In
power plants, numerous pipe flows are used to transport liquid, vapor, and two-phase flows: steam produced in boilers is transported in pipes to steam turbines
for energy conversion. Boiler feed water (BFW) is pumped to a boiler via a
BFW pipe.
OTTO AND DIESEL CYCLES
Authors: Wang Yun 
Published: March 2023

INTRODUCTION
Otto and Diesel cycle engines play an important role in our transportation and energy
use. They are typically reciprocating heat engines that convert the thermal energy from
fuel combustion to mechanical energy in the form of piston movement. The mechanical
energy further drives a vehicle over a distance. The Otto and diesel cycle engines are
the most common engine in passenger cars, light trucks, and other applications where
small (10 Hp) to medium power (500 Hp) is required. Some large turbo supercharged
radial aircraft engines reach 5,000 Hp. Applications of small power, such as
lawnmowers and hand-held devices like trimmers and chain saws, require a level of
100-1,000 W power. Typical values of their thermal efficiency are 30-35% for Otto
cycle engines and 30-40% for Diesel engines. Small utility-type engines may have
~20% efficiency due to simple design and control. While the basic principles of these
reciprocating engines have not changed significantly since invention, advances in fuel
induction, ignition systems, and exhaust emission controls have improved economy
and performance and reduced pollution.
Association of the Extent of Internet Use by Patients With Cancer With Social Support Among Patients and Change in Patient-Reported Treatment Outcomes During Inpatient Rehabilitation: Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Study
Authors: Lange-Drenth Lukas , Schulz Holger , Endsin Gero , Bleich Christiane 
Published: March 2023

Background
Given the increasing number of cancer survivors and their rising survival rates, rehabilitation plays an increasingly important role. Social support among patients is an essential element of inpatient and day care rehabilitation. The internet can empower patients with cancer to become more active health care consumers and facilitate information and supportive care needs. By contrast, therapists suspect that high internet use during rehabilitation may severely limit social interactions between patients, thus interfering with the patients’ rehabilitation program and jeopardizing treatment success.

Objective
We hypothesized that the extent of internet use would be negatively related to social support among patients with cancer during their clinical stay as well as fewer improvements in patient-reported treatment outcomes from the first to the last day of their clinical stay.

Methods
Patients with cancer participated during their inpatient rehabilitation. Cross-sectional data, such as the extent of participants’ internet use and perceived social support among patients, were collected during the last week of their clinic stay. The treatment outcomes, that is, participants’ levels of distress, fatigue, and pain, were collected on the first and last day of the clinic stay. We used multiple linear regression analysis to study the association between the extent of internet use and social support among patients with cancer. We used linear mixed model analyses to study the association between the extent of internet use by patients with cancer and the change in patient-reported treatment outcomes.

Results
Of the 323 participants, 279 (86.4%) participants reported that they used the internet. The extent of the internet use (t315=0.78; P=.43) was not significantly associated with the perceived social support among the participants during their clinical stay. In addition, the extent of participants’ internet use during their clinical stay was not associated with changes in participants’ levels of distress (F1,299=0.12; P=.73), fatigue (F1,299=0.19; P=.67), and pain (F1,303=0.92; P=.34) from the first to the last day of their clinical stay.

Conclusions
The extent of internet use does not seem to be negatively associated with the perceived social support among patients with cancer or with the change in patients’ levels of distress, fatigue, or pain from the first to the last day of their clinical stay.

Teknik pengumpulan data dengan mengumpullkan dan mengkaji sumber ilmiah dari buku dan jurnal ilmiah online. Langkah-langkah penelitian ini terdiri dari menyiapkan topik, eksplorasi informasi, menentukan fokus penelitian, pengumpulan sumber data, persiapan penyajian, dan penyusunan laporan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sejarah Etnis Madura di Kalimantan Barat merupakan etnis pendatang yang berasal dari Daerah Bangkalan di Pulau Madura. Tujuan orang-orang Madura datang ke Kalimantan Barat dilatarbelakangi oleh faktor mata pencaharian yang mudah didapatkan dan faktor lahan yang cocok dijadikan sebagai lahan untuk bertani atau bercocok tanam. Masyarakat Etnis Madura di Kalimantan Barat sebagian besar bermata pencaharian sebagai petani, pekebun dan sebagainya. Perkembangan budaya dikaji dari sistem kekerabatan Etnis Madura pada umumnya sama dengan sistem kekerabatan etnis lainnya yang membedakannya adalah penyebutan atau istilah. Tradisi dan kesenian Etnis Madura tidak banyak yang dapat diaktualisasikan dalam kehidupan sebagai suku pendatang, hal ini salah satunya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan sekitar yang bukan merupakan lingkungan asli dari Etnis Madura.
