Standardised regression coefficient as an effect size index in summarising findings in epidemiological studies
Authors: Nieminen Pentti , Lehtiniemi Heli , Vähäkangas Kirsi , Huusko Antti , Rautio Arja 
Published: April 2023

Background: a major problem in evaluating and reviewing the published findings of studies on the association between a quantitative explanatory variable and a quantitative dependent variable is that the results are analysed and reported in many different ways. To achieve an effective review of different studies, a consistent presentation of the results is necessary. This paper aims to exemplify the main topics related to summarising and pooling research findings from multivariable models with a quantitative response variable.
Methods: we outline the complexities involved in synthesising associations. We describe a method by which it is possible to transform the findings into a common effect size index which is based on standardised regression coefficients. To describe the approach we searched original research articles published before January 2012 for findings of the relationship between polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and birth weight of new-borns. Studies with maternal PCB measurements and birth weight as a continuous variable were included.
Results: the evaluation of 24 included articles reveled that there was variation in variable measurement methods, transformations, descriptive statistics and inference methods. Research syntheses were performed summarizing regression coefficients to estimate the effect of PCBs on birth weight. A birth weight decline related to increase in PCB level was found.
Conclusions: the proposed method can be useful in quantitatively reviewing published studies when different exposure measurement methods are used or differential control of potential confounding factors is not an issue.
Integrating clinicians’ opinion in the Bayesian meta-analysis of observational studies: the case of risk factors for falls in community-dwelling older people
Authors: Deandrea Silvia , Negri Eva , Ruggeri Fabrizio 
Published: April 2023

Background: despite the widespread application of Bayesian methods in meta-analysis, the incorporation of clinical informative priors based upon expert opinion is rare.
Methods: a questionnaire to elicit beliefs about five risk factors for falls in older people was administered to a sample of geriatricians and general practitioners (GPs). The experts were asked to provide a point estimate and upper and lower limits of each relative risk. The elicited opinions were translated into different prior distributions and included in a Bayesian meta-analysis of prospective studies. Frequentist, Bayesian non-informative and fully Bayesian approaches were compared.
Results: almost all the clinicians provided the requested information. In most cases, the variability across published studies was greater or similar to that across clinicians. Geriatricians provided more consistent estimates than GPs. When fewer studies were available, the use of the informative prior provided by geriatricians reduced the width of the credibility interval with respect to the frequentist or Bayesian non-informative approaches. Enthusiastic and skeptical priors led to results strongly driven by the prior distribution.
Conclusions: this study presents a feasible method for belief elicitation and Bayesian priors’ assessment. The inclusion of external information showed to be useful when only few and/or heterogeneous studies were available from the literature.

Published: April 2023

Background: The aim of this pilot study was to assess the reliability and validity of the questionnaire in young women ≥18 years as tool to examine knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards screening and vaccination against HPV and reliable source of information.
Methods: Reliability analysis was tested and content validity was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha to check internal consistency with the intention to obtain no misunderstanding results. The questionnaire - composed by n. 3 section for a total of n. 69 items- was administered to 30 girls. The study was conducted in 4 Italian cities: Ferrara, Rome, Cassino and Palermo and data were collected in the month of October 2010. Statistical analysis was performed through SPSS 19.0, statistical software for Windows.
Results: The higher value of Cronbach’s alpha resulted on 24 items (alpha= 0,774). The addition just one at time of also only one more of the others items got worse the alpha. Cronbach’s alpha on all the III section together (n. 69 items) resulted in a value of 0, 059. Young women generally known HPV can cause cervical cancer (93.3%) and genital warts (16.7%) and 76.7% of them recognize pap test as a screening tool. The main sources of information about HPV vaccination, are represented by magazines / books (33.3%), TV (26.7%), gynecologists (23.3%).
Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrated that a reduced version of the questionnaire showed a very good reliability properties in the study and this needs to be taken into account for future studies.
Cost effectiveness analysis of childhood obesity primary prevention programmes: a systematic review
Authors: Erdol Sebnem , Mazzucco Walter , Boccia Stefania 
Published: April 2023

Background. Childhood obesity is associated with enormous health consequences and costs to society. This study aims to systematically review the studies on Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) of primary prevention programmes of childhood obesity, discussing the gaps and providing recommendations for future research.
Methods. All the studies on the cost effectiveness evaluation of primary prevention of obesity among children were included. Studies were retrieved from MEDLINE and Google Scholar, up to 31st March 2012, with only English language papers being eligible. The quality of the retrieved studies was evaluated by using the Drummond scale.
Results. Eight studies were included, five of which concerning community-based intervention programmes, while three school-based programmes. Fifty-percent of the studies, 3 school-based and 1 community-based primary prevention programme reported the intervention being cost effective. The studies were heterogeneous in terms of study design, quality, target population and outcome measures. Use of the Drummond scale showed that the eight studies were of low-medium quality.
Conclusion. Although model-based studies may be considered as practical measures applicable to different type of programmes and settings, we auspicate for a convergence towards the use of homogenous clinical and outcome measures in order to properly evaluate the added value of obesity primary prevention programmes in childhood

Muscular morphometric study of the canine shoulder for the design of 3D-printed endoprostheses in dogs with osteosarcoma of the proximal humerus: a pilot cadaveric study by MRI
Authors: Llido Marie , Le Bras Linh-Aurore , Brailovski Vladimir , Séguin Bernard , Masseau Isabelle , Petit Yvan , Lussier Bertrand 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Osteosarcoma frequently affects the proximal humerus in dogs. In veterinary medicine, no therapeutic option for the treatment of osteosarcoma satisfactorily preserves limb function. 3D-printed personalized endoprosthesis offers a promising treatment option. Morphometric data, necessary for the design of the endoprosthesis, are currently lacking in canine patients. Our objective was to acquire the morphometric data necessary to refine the design of the endoprosthesis.

ANIMAL
A single canine cadaveric thoracic limb.

PROCEDURES
Sagittal proton-density, and sagittal, dorsal, and transverse T1-weighted sequences of the thoracic limb were acquired with a 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) unit. Nineteen muscles of interest were subsequently identified using medical imaging software (Mimics©) and their volume was reconstructed in 3D using computer-aided design (CATIA©). Mormophetric data were recorded for each of the 19 muscles. The same canine cadaver was then dissected to measure the same parameters.

RESULTS
All muscles were successfully identified with data consistent with the dissected cadaveric data. Certain muscles were more challenging to isolate on MRI, namely the heads of the triceps brachii, superficial pectoral, and latissimus dorsi. The relative distribution of muscle volumes was similar to historical data. Muscle tissue density was not significantly affected by freezing (1.059 g/cm3).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
MRI is a useful tool to collect morphometric data but imperfect if used alone. This approach was the first attempt to validate more general morphometric data that could be used to refine the design of custom 3D-printed prostheses for limb-sparing of the proximal humerus. Further imaging studies are warranted to refine our model.
Rethinking social enterprise policy making in Ireland – untangling proportionate, disproportionate and unengaged sectoral policy contributions
Authors: Broin Deiric Ó , Doyle Gerard 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The National Social Enterprise Policy of Ireland was launched in 2019 following a slow and episodic process. The aim of the paper is to examine the development and implementation of the National Social Enterprise Policy. In particular the interaction between key sectoral stakeholders in the development of the policy and the primary influences on the process. The results of a substantial qualitative enquiry details the complex set of relationships underpinning the development of social enterprise policy in a multi-level governance framework. It situates the National Social Enterprise Policy in an environment unusually susceptible to sub-sectoral advocacy and highlights the particular characteristics of the Irish case where social enterprise policy is largely removed from broader social economy policy interventions in Ireland and the European Union. The paper highlights the complex and fluid environment in which various stakeholders articulated and advocated for their policy positions. It also details how the relevant policy institutions engaged with and were influenced by stakeholders. It contributes to the understanding of social enterprise policy formulation and how this process can become more inclusive.
PENDEKATAN URBAN ACUPUNCTURE MELALUI PROYEK PADEPOKAN SENI SRENGSENG

Published: April 2023

In Jakarta there are zones that have their respective land use functions, such as economic zones, government zones, cultural zones, green zones, etc. However, many people do not know about these zones, such as Jalan Merdeka Gambir as the government zone, and the Cikini area as one of the "cultural" zones. Apart from Cikini, there are many other areas which are cultural zones, but these "cultural" zones have been forgotten by the community due to the times. As a result, public interest in the cultures owned by the Indonesian state is reduced. The loss of public interest in culture will gradually make the culture that is owned disappear being consumed by the progress of time. Even though a country or region can be known by the public both at home and abroad because it has a unique culture. Therefore, this project aims to revive a culture that has faded, so that it can be remembered by the community and can continue to maintain cultural preservation. The method that the author uses is to collect information that can support the design title, such as collecting data on schools around the site that still maintain culture so that it can support the author's theme. The goal that the author wants to achieve is that the culture of the nation does not disappear, and also provides a place for people who are still interested in culture, so that culture does not disappear with time.
Keywords: culture; culture zone; progress of times
Abstrak
Di Jakarta terdapat zona-zona yang memiliki fungsi tata guna lahan masing-masing, seperti zona perekonomian, zona pemerintahan, zona budaya, zona hijau, dll. Namun, banyak masyarakat yang tidak mengetahui zona-zona tersebut, seperti jalan Merdeka Gambir sebagai zona pemerintahan, dan daerah Cikini sebagai salah satu zona “budaya”. Selain Cikini, masih terdapat banyak daerah lain yang merupakan zona budaya, tetapi zona “budaya” tersebut sudah dilupakan oleh masyarakat karena perkembangan zaman. Akibatnya, ketertarikan masyarakat terhadap kebudayaan-kebudayaan yang dimiliki oleh negara Indonesia berkurang. Hilangnya ketertarikan masyarakat terhadap kebudayaan lambat laun akan membuat budaya yang dimiliki hilang termakan oleh kemajuan zaman. Padahal suatu negara atau daerah dapat dikenal oleh masyarakat baik dalam maupun luar negeri karena memiliki kebudayaan yang unik. Oleh karena itu, proyek ini bertujuan untuk mengangkat kembali budaya yang sudah pudar, agar dapat diingat kembali oleh masyarakat dan dapat terus menjaga kelestarian budaya. Metode yang penulis gunakan dalah mengumpulkan informasi-informasi yang dapat mendukung judul perancangan seperti, mengumpulkan data sekolah-sekolah disekitar tapak yang masih melestarikan kebudayaan sehingga dapat mendukung tema penulis. Tujuan yang ingin diraih penulis adalah agar kebudayaan yang dimiliki bangsa tidak menghilang, dan juga memberikan wadah kepada para masyarakat yang masih tertarik terhadap budaya, sehingga budaya tidak menghilang termakan zaman.

On Approaches to the Domestic Enterprises Management under the Conditions of Economy Mobilization
Authors: Borisova S. G. 
Published: April 2023

The article substantiates the urgency of the active use by the management of domestic enterprises of management concepts that are more adequate to the goals and nature of the mobilization economy.In particular, the objective nature of the formation of the mobilization economy is noted as a consequence of the presence of real threats to the existence of the country and society as an integral system. One of the key features of the mobilization economy is the new economic policy. It presupposes the return of the state to the role of a full-fledged economic agent and the development of new "rules of the game" aimed at the most effective use of Russian raw materials, labor and intellectual resources to counter external threats.According to the author, management approaches that correspond to the current goals of the domestic economy include the concept of managing strategic assets of the enterprise (primarily intangible) and the concept of sustainable marketing. The first one aims top management to take into account the importance of intangible assets in achieving the actual goals and objectives of the enterprise. A significant part of intangible assets (for example, the company's reputation, staff loyalty and corporate culture) is more or less related to the human factor. Therefore, increasing the productivity of their management leads, ultimately, to a more efficient use of human potential.The second concept involves increasing the social responsibility of the business both in relation to all its partners (starting from staff and ending with consumers) and society as a whole. The essence of the concept (as applied to the goals and conditions of the mobilization economy) is the transition from the marketing of unrestrained consumption (bearing negative consequences for both people and nature) to the marketing of rational and, sometimes, safe consumption. This concept also contains the idea of resource-saving technologies.

Statistical Characteristics of the Temporal Spectrum of Scattered Radiation in the Equatorial Ionosphere
Authors: Jandieri George , Tugushi Nika 
Published: April 2023

On the basis of the solution of the space-time characteristic system by the method of geometric optics using symbolic calculations, analytical and numerical simulation of the propagation of the ordinary and extraordinary radio waves in the conducting equatorial ionospheric plasma was made considering the anisotropy of plasma irregularities and non-stationary nature of propagation medium. Broadening of the spectrum and the displacement of its maximum contain velocity of a turbulent plasma flow and parameters characterizing anisotropic plasmonic structures. Statistical moments of both radio waves do not depend on the absorption sign and are valid for both active and absorptive random media. Temporal pulsations and conductivity of a turbulent ionospheric plasma have an influence on the evaluation of the spectrum-varying propagation distances travelling by these waves. The new double-humped effect in the temporal spectrum has been revealed for the ordinary wave varying anisotropy coefficient and dip angle of stretched plasmonic structures. From a theoretical point of view, the algorithms developed in this work allow effective modelling of the propagation of both radio signals in the equatorial conductive ionospheric plasma, considering the external magnetic field, inhomogeneities of electron density in-homogeneities, as well as non-stationary.
