An Evaluation of Circular Economy Development in the Baltic States
Authors: Jakubelskas Ugnius , Skvarciany Viktorija 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Research background: The fact that all resources are not infinite and the needs of society are steadily increasing, new ways of producing, consuming and waste disposal should be adopted. A circular economy as a modern alternative to a linear economy became one of the priorities of the European Union in order to create a modern, resource-efficient and competitive system.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to present the concept of a circular economy and the justification of its implementation based on a literature review. The article focuses on determining the factors of a circular economy and evaluating its importance in the Baltic States. In other words, the main aim of the article is to highlight the factors of a circular economy and assess its significance.

Research methodology: A panel regression analysis was used in order to evaluate which indicator of the selected circular economy factors is the most important.

Results: The survey reveals that waste electrical and electronic equipment has the most significant potential for increased circular material use rate in the Baltic States. All electrical and electronic equipment should be designed so that it would be possible to repair and reuse it to extend the product life cycle and reduce the carbon footprint. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in conjunction with increasing the usage of renewable energy could increase resource productivity and domestic material consumption (DMC) and ensure Baltic States’ independence in the energy sector through offshore wind farms that have the region’s most considerable potential.

Novelty: There is a lack of studies conducted in the Baltic States focused on circular economy development using panel data. Most of the previous studies were focused on the European Union as a whole or individual countries. This study presents a deeper analysis of circular economy development in the Baltic States.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

Research background: Assessment of the positive and negative aspects of the concentration of agricultural production in Ukraine, including in the form of agricultural holdings, is very dynamic due to the dynamic macroeconomic conditions of doing business here.

Purpose: The goal of the article is to present the results of research and an assessment of the consequences of the concentration of agricultural production in Ukraine through indicators of changes in the size and efficiency of agricultural enterprises.

Research methodology: The research methodology is based on the general dialectic approach and includes the following methods: induction, monographic, graphical, grouping, analysis of dynamic series, and formalization of calculation algorithms.

Results: Regularities of influence of the sizes of the agrarian enterprises on the efficiency of their functioning are revealed. The study showed that the concentration of production creates a number of strengths in agricultural production in the country as a whole which helps to solve certain social problems. However, the concentration of agricultural production does not increase the economic efficiency of enterprises.

Novelty: The assessment of the consequences of large agricultural enterprises in Ukraine and the activities of agricultural holding companies has been differentiated. Previously made conclusions of other researchers on the consequences of the concentration in agricultural production has been clarified.
Online Auctions End Time and its Impact on Sales Success – Analysis of the Odds Ratio on a Selected Central European Market
Authors: Zakonnik Łukasz , Czerwonka Piotr , Zajdel Radosław 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Research background: E-commerce is developing rapidly, especially during the Covid19 pandemic. This fact can benefit individuals who want to sell their already used goods. Importantly, for sellers, it is not always a priority to get the highest price, but sometimes it is simply effective to get rid of the goods at a satisfactory price.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to analyze the impact of the broadly understood time of the end of the online auction on the success or failure of a sale.

Research methodology: In the study, the raw odds ratio was used for the effect of a single variable. Next, the impact of specific variables within the set of risk factors was determined using the logistic regression.

Results: Auctions ending in the evening were found to be more than 150% more likely to be successful, while night hours reduced the chance of success by 50%. The day’s most favorable for sales are Monday and Tuesday, the opposite pattern was observed for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. An interesting relationship was found for the second half of the month, which increased the possibility of selling the goods by over 20%.

Novelty: In the literature there are almost none that would focus on the analysis of the possibility of ending the auction with a sale (i.e. success) in the context of the auction end time on the Central European market. This issue is usually discussed on the side and has not been analyzed comprehensively – this paper is a step forward in this direction.
Patient Prosthesis Mismatch in SAVR: How Avoidable is It in the ‘Real World’?
Authors: Mushtaq Amir , Ali Montasir H , Ionescu Adrian 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We set out to assess whether the preoperative prediction of patient-prosthesis mismatch by an algorithm popularised by Pibarot et al. is accurate compared to PPMM defined as AVA <0.85 cm2/m2 (‘any PPMM’) or as AVA <0.65cm2/m2 (‘severe’ PPMM).
We studied 37 patients (16 female), with mean age 72.3 +/− 8.4 years, who had unplanned SAVR during 2019. By echo, 17 (19.7%) patients had severe PPMM (mean AVA (SD) = 0.55 (0.04) cm2). For the 0.85cm2/m2 cut-off, 14/37 patients (37%) had PPMM (mean AVA (SD) 0.70 (0.15) cm2. By the Pibarot algorithm, 21 (56.7%) patients were predicted to have any PPMM and 10 (27%) severe PPMM.
The preoperative algorithm for the avoidance of patient prosthetic mismatch does not accurately identify patients who have postoperative PPMM as defined by echocardiography. Further refinements of the algorithm seem necessary before it can be used widely in clinical practice.

Abstract
Social factors such as social support, integration, and belonging to the community are positive resources against adverse events and living conditions. This study at examining the influence of social support on depression among elderly people in Serbia. The research was done according to the type of cross-sectional study, a mass survey of a random, representative stratified two-stage sample of the population of Serbia in 2013, which was conducted by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia. The target population consisted of 3540 respondents aged 65 and over. The Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) was used to evaluate the presence of depressive symptoms and the social support score from the questionnaire Oslo-3 scale of social support. The relations between depression symptoms and social support were examined with univariate logistic regression analyses. In the univariate regression model, social support stood out as a strong predictor of depression. People with weak social support are three and a half times more likely (OR = 3.45) to have depression compared to those with strong social support. Men with small social support were more likely to have depression (OR = 5.08) than women (OR = 3.41). These results indicate the urgency of addressing depression as a public health priority to reduce the burden and disability and improve the overall health of the elderly population.

Published: December 2022

Objective: The advancement in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has led to it becoming the predominant mode of revascularization. Post PTCA adverse events in the form of stent thrombosis, recurrent ischemia, unplanned revascularization, recurrent hospitalization etc. result in morbidity as well as mortality. Biomarkers predicting such outcomes can be useful in initiating more aggressive medical therapy and greater modification of risk factors. This study was undertaken to study the predictive significance of periprocedural plasma fibrinogen levels for coronary stenting outcomes.

Methods: 80 patients diagnosed as either chronic stable angina (CSA), unstable angina (UA), Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) or late presentation ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) undergoing planned PTCA were included in study. Patients were evaluated for clinical history, electrocardiogram (ECG), two dimensional echocardiography (2D-echo) and cardiac biomarkers (Creatinine Phosphokinase-MB isomer (CK-MB) and Troponin I). Serum fibrinogen level was measured 24 hours prior to PTCA along with routine pre-operative investigations; and also 24 hours after coronary stenting. Patients were followed for six months. Outcome measure was taken to be freedom from cardiac related adverse events, including rehospitalization, unplanned repeat revascularization, definite stent thrombosis, transient ischemic attack, stroke and all-cause mortality.

Results: Fibrinogen level ≥393 mg/dL, 24 hours prior to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, was associated with higher major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) rates (60%) as compared to those with fibrinogen level &lt;393 mg/dL (3.6%). Fibrinogen level ≥427 mg/dL 24 hours after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, was associated with higher major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events rates (65%) as compared to those with fibrinogen level &lt;427 mg/dL (6.7%).

Conclusion: The current study demonstrates that higher baseline and post procedural fibrinogen, is an independent predictor of 6 months major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events after elective percutaneous coronary intervention.

Published: December 2022

Many local film industries in developing economies are struggling to compete with foreign film hits. Surprisingly, despite the high exposure from imported films, the Indonesian film industry has maintained a robust domestic market in the last decade. This study aims to gather insights from this phenomenon by examining the key factors that distinguish the profiles of non-successful and successful local films at the Indonesian box office. The analysis was conducted based on the characteristics of 225 local films from 2017 to 2018. We employed a recent method to generate such profiles, namely the tree-based comparative analysis, which uses a machine learning model to augment the cross-case comparisons from a large pool of data. The study result suggests that the success of local films is mainly driven by the actor's popularity and the presence of foreign movie hits at the box office. Besides, we also found that the distinction between moderately successful and highly successful local films predominantly lies in story familiarity, suggesting the efficacy of the "brand extension" strategy in the Indonesian film industry. The study concludes by offering some managerial insights for producers and distributors to deliver successful films at the box office.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that is estimated to impact 1 in 44 children. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the rate of autism among Pasifika children and young people (38.6 per 10,000 people) is substantively lower than other ethnic groups (67.5 for European and 47.2 for Māori); however, the complexities associated with Autism diagnosis in Pasifika is unknown.
Aim: We compared rates of Autism and co-occurring diagnoses of conditions as a proxy for Autism case complexity between Pasifika and NMNP young people (aged 0-24 years) in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Methods: This national, cross-sectional study was undertaken using data from a national database; the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). Three separate indicators were created to reflect different types of complexity for someone with autism: Asperger’s syndrome (identifies those with lower complexity with fewer demands on support services); intellectual disability (higher needs/greater complexity); ORS funding (higher needs/greater complexity).
Findings: In this present study, Pasifika in Aotearoa New Zealand had much lower autism identification rates in comparison to Non-Māori Non-Pasifika (NMNP) (53.3 per 10,000 vs 83 per 10,000). After adjusting for socioeconomic differences, Pasifika had significantly lower odds (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.47) of having an Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis. However, Pasifika had significantly higher odds of having an intellectual disability (OR = 2.23) and being Ongoing Resources Scheme funded (OR = 2.18).
Conclusions: Using this method within the IDI, Pasifika children in Aotearoa continue to have lower rates of Autism diagnosis; however, they are more likely to have a higher complexity of autism diagnosis.

Authors: Al-Fayyadh Zahraa Talib , Al-Mosawe Hasan 
Published: December 2022

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is a good pavement option due to its environmental benefits. Short-term aging is one of the critical factors that the WMA should carefully study. This research aims to study the effect of short-term aging on the warm mix asphalt that has different percentages of rubber. In this study, three percentages of rubber (1, 1.5, and 2%) by weight of aggregate are considered to be added to the WMA. By use of the Indirect Tensile Strength test for HMA, WMA unmodified and modified with CR that is exposed to an aging protocol to assess the sensitivity of asphalt mixture to moisture damage. The results show that HMA is less sensitive to moisture than WMA, and the addition of crumb rubber to WMA generally improves the resistance to moisture compared with WMA with 0% of rubber. However, as the rubber content increases to 2%, the resistance starts to decrease. Finally, SEM images were taken of rubber particles, WMA with and without rubber to investigate the changes occurring to the mixtures. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-09 Full Text: PDF

Published: December 2022

Research has been carried out on the comparison of the concentration of Pb and Total Suspended Solid (TSS) of laboratory test results with Sentinel-2A satellite image data recorded on August 25, 2021 at the Suwung estuary dam, Denpasar city. The method used to compare the 2 measurement results is through testing by paired sample correlation and the graph. The result from the measurement show that the TSS value between Sentine-2A and laboratory has a fairly close value but the Pb value between Sentinel-2A and the laboratory have a much differences. The differences of the value between Sentinel-2A images and laboratory data can be caused by differences in the image recording time and field data collection time. This can result in changes or dynamics of water conditions that result in changes in the value and distribution Pb and then the radiometric influence of differences in Pb values ​​on images and laboratory data can be caused by radiometric influences or interference with wave propagation in the air.

Published: December 2022

AbstractSpondyloarthritis is an acute inflammatory disorder of the musculoskeletal system often accompanied by pain, stiffness, bone and tissue damage. It majorly consists of ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and reactive arthritis. It follows a differential diagnosis pattern for demarcation between the spondyloarthritis subtypes and other arthritic subtypes such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis and osteoarthritis due to the heterogeneity causing gradual chronicity and complications. Presence of definite molecular markers can not only improve diagnosis efficiency but also aid in their prognosis and therapy. This study is an attempt to compose a refined list of such unique and common molecular signatures of the considered subtypes, by employing a reductionist approach amalgamating gene retrieval, protein-protein interaction network, functional, pathway, micro-RNA-gene and transcription factor-gene regulatory network analysis. Gene retrieval and protein-protein interaction network analysis resulted in unique and common interacting genes of arthritis subtypes. Functional annotation and pathway analysis found vital functions and pathways unique and common in arthritis subtypes. Furthermore, miRNA-gene and transcription factor-gene interaction networks retrieved unique and common miRNA’s and transcription factors in arthritis subtypes. Furthermore, the study identified important signatures of arthritis subtypes that can serve as markers assisting in prognosis, early diagnosis and personalized treatment of arthritis patients requiring validation via prospective experimental studies.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBronchial asthma is a complex respiratory disorder, exhibits several endotypes and phenotypes due to different underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. Globally it affects 300 million individuals, with the prevalence of 2–3% in India, contributing to morbidity and mortality. Over 50 cytokines have been identified in asthma. The dysregulation in Th1 and Th2 cytokines is implicated in the patho-mechanism of pulmonary inflammation and airway remodeling. The aim of the current study was to access the circulating levels of IL-1β (pro-inflammatory) and IL-10 (anti-inflammatory) cytokines using sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In this case-control study we recruited a total of 164 subjects (104 adult onset asthma patients and 60 non-asthmatic healthy controls) from south India. Data exhibited increased levels of IL-1β and decreased levels of IL-10 in asthma patients compared to the healthy controls. Subgroup analysis revealed significant elevation in the circulating levels of IL-1β and Th1:Th2 (IL-1β/IL-10) ratio in patients with uncontrolled and long-standing disease (>10 years). Receiver operating curve analysis of individual cytokines and ratios showed good and excellent discriminating capacity respectively for health vs disease and controlled vs uncontrolled. However, IL-1β showed better incisive capacity for disease duration. Based on our observation it appears that rather than individual cytokine(s), the balance between pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines are crucial in the patho-mechanism of asthma. However, developing a signature profile of multiple cytokines using cut-off values may prove to be more promising for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic purposes of bronchial asthma.
