Multidrug resistance is a public health problem. Enterobacteriaceae strains may be reservoirs of antimicrobial and potassium tellurite (PT) resistance genes, which is a determinant of bacterial escape to intraphagocytic killing mechanisms. The mobility of resistance genes and their genetic rearrangements are significantly involved in the dissemination of these genes. Mobile genetic elements such as integrons and transposons, as well as IS26 (considered among the predominant ISs), facilitate the formation and mobilization of sets of resistance genes in plasmids capable of transferring these determinants of resistance and virulence horizontally. There is evidence of associations, in plasmids, of genes encoding adhesins, toxins and antimicrobial resistance, possibly related to PT resistance. In the present work, 342 samples were collected for bacteriological culture in different units of a University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Hospital Kitchen, Medical and Surgical Clinics Wards, and Intensive Care Unit): 98 samples from hands of professionals, 85 hand samples from food handlers, 104 stool samples (rectal swab) from patients and 55 food samples. We isolated 27 strains of Enterobacteriaceae through selective media containing cephalothin (32µg/mL). Bacterial identification was performed by conventional phenotypic methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests, as well as the phenotypic test for Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBLs) production, were performed by disk diffusion. PT resistance was also tested by direct seeding in media with 25µg/mL and 112 µg/mL of the compound. Plasmids were visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis of bacterial DNA extracts. Additionally, antimicrobial resistance genes and IS26 were detected by PCR assays. From a total of 27 strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolated, eight strains of Enterobacteriaceae were selected, considering phenotypes indicative of ESBLs production, resistance to aminoglycosides and presence of plasmids of high and low molecular weight (from the hands of food handlers, food and feces from hospitalized patients). Three strains 3/8 (37.5%) were resistant to aminoglycosides and cephalosporins, concomitantly. Four 4/8 strains (50.0%) were positive for the phenotypic test for ESBL production and six 6/8 strains (75.0%) were resistant to PT. Strains with resistance to aminoglycosides and producing ESBL showed amplification product for the genes tested. We consider that these antimicrobial resistance genes, also the determinants for resistance to PT (as a bacterial virulence factor), as well as IS26, may contribute to the plasticity and fitness of R plasmids, in different environments, favoring the circulation of relevant pathogenic strains.

BT+ Approach to the Meaning Construction of Metonymy-Based Chinese Cyber-Expressions
Authors: You Xiaogang , Liang Liang 
Published: December 2022

China has the biggest population of netizens in the world and more and more cybernauts often use cyber-expressions in their Internet communication and some cyber-expressions are even used in our daily life offline. With the increasing popularity of these cyber-expressions, they have caught the eyes of more and more scholars and these expressions’ formation and meaning construction are analyzed from many perspectives. From the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics, the Chinese cyber-expressions are formed with the help of such cognitive mechanisms as metaphor, icon iconicity, metonymy and metaphtonymy. While the metonymy-based e-terms account for a large proportion of all the new cyber-expressions, little is discussed about metonymy-based expressions in previous studies related to the Chinese cyber-expressions. In the present paper, 752 metonymy-based e-terms from a closed corpus will be studied exhaustively and the meaning construction of these kinds of expressions will be systematically analyzed based on the Blending Theory under the framework of Cognitive Linguistics with an attempt to fill the gap in the previous studies.

Published: December 2022

Introduction:
In the United States, most hip arthroplasties for femoral neck fractures are done with a noncemented stem despite worldwide registry data suggesting that cemented fixation has improved long-term survivorship in patients older than 65 years. We, therefore, evaluated the effect of femoral fixation on the risk of revision, revision for periprosthetic fracture (PPFx), and mortality in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures.

Methods:
Seventeen thousand one hundred thirty-eight cases of cemented femoral stems were exactly matched to noncemented fixation cases in a 1:1 fashion based on age, sex, and Charlson Comorbidity Index as reported in the American Joint Replacement Registry. Outcome variables included revision for PPFx, all-cause revision within 1 year and 90 days, and in-hospital mortality at 90 days and 1 year. The primary independent variable was femoral fixation (cemented and noncemented), and covariates included race (black, white, and others), ethnicity (Hispanic and non-Hispanic), hospital teaching status (minor, major, and nonteaching), and hospital size (number of beds: 1 to 99, 100 to 399, and ≥400). Chi square tests and multivariable logistic regression models were used for statistical analysis.

Results:
Hip arthroplasty with a cemented stem was associated with a 30% reduction in all-cause revision at 90 days (odds ratio [OR]:0.692, confidence interval [CI]:0.558 to 0.86), a 29% reduction in revision at 1 year (OR:0.709, CI:0.589 to 0.854), and an 86% reduction in revision for PPFx (OR:0.144, CI:0.07 to 0.294). However, cemented stem fixation was associated with increased odds of in-hospital (OR: 2.232 CI: 1.644 to 3.3031), 90-day, and 1-year (OR:1.23, CI:1.135 to 1.339; and OR:1.168, CI:1.091 to 1.25, respectively) mortality.

Dicussion:
In this exact match study, cemented stem fixation for femoral neck fracture was associated with a markedly reduced risk of revision for PPFx and for all-cause revision. This must be weighed against the associated increased risk in mortality, which warrants additional investigation.
Causal Loop Diagram Kepuasan Pelanggan terhadap Layanan Publik: Studi Kasus Direktorat Registrasi Pangan Olahan, BPOM
Authors: Aryani Rahajeng Puput 
Published: December 2022

Survei kepuasan pelanggan menjadi salah satu indikator kualitas pelayanan publik. Pada tahun 2020 sebagian besar indikator kinerja Direktorat Registrasi Pangan Olahan mengalami peningkatan, namun hasil survei kepuasan pelanggan di Direktorat Registrasi Pangan Olahan mengalami penurunan dari 83,96 pada tahun 2019 menjadi 82,60 pada tahun 2020. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami struktur dan perilaku kepuasan pelanggan terhadap layanan publik di Direktorat Registrasi Pangan Olahan. Causal Loop Diagram digunakan untuk memvisualisasikan keterkaitan problem yang dihadapi, variabel kunci dan keterkaitan antar variabel penyusun kepuasan pelanggan. Observasi keterkaitan antar variabel dapat digunakan untuk merancang alternatif solusi jangka panjang. Penentuan variabel dilakukan melalui studi pustaka, observasi hasil survei kepuasan pelanggan, dan focus group discussion (FGD) yang melibatkan petugas layanan publik. Variabel-variabel tersebut digunakan dalam mengembangkan Causal Loop Diagram untuk memahami pola struktur kepuasan pelanggan.
Berdasarkan Causal Loop Diagram, variabel kunci yang berpengaruh pada kepuasan pelanggan adalah variabel beban kerja petugas. Peningkatan kepuasan pelanggan dapat meningkatkan willingness dan awareness masyarakat untuk melaksanakan kewajiban registrasi pangan olahan. Namun, disisi lain hal tersebut berpotensi menurunkan kepuasan pelanggan akibat peningkatan beban kerja, munculnya pengaduan serta berkurangnya kesempatan petugas untuk mengikuti pelatihan maupun self-learning. Hasil Causal Loop Diagram dapat digunakan untuk mencari alternatif solusi penurunan kepuasan pelanggan akibat beban kerja yaitu: penerapan registrasi non evaluasi melalui mekanisme Risk Based Approach (RBA), pemetaan sosialisasi registrasi, peningkatan petugas penilaian, dan pemberian reward sebagai timbal balik dari beban kerja yang meningkat. Alternatif solusi tersebut dapat dijadikan dukungan penyusunan kebijakan bagi pimpinan.

Methods to Improve Accuracy of Planing Hull Resistance Prediction
Authors: Huynh Quang V. , Tran Thai G. 
Published: December 2022

_
Accurate prediction of planing hull resistance is a difficult task due to complex hydrodynamic interactions at high speeds and is often performed by three methods: model testing, empirical formulas, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Model testing provides the most accurate results, but is usually only used in cases of necessity due to time and cost, whereas empirical formulas and the CFD method do not always provide results with the expected accuracy and reliability. Therefore, this paper will present methods to improve and ensure the accuracy of planing hull resistance values predicted by Savitsky’s empirical formula based on using our modified computation procedure, and by the CFD method based on ensuring the quality of 3D hull mesh and defining the simulation parameters suitable for a study planing hull. This study has been applied to Vietnam’s large displacement high speed passenger vessel with design symbol K88 and obtained good results with the deviations between the resistance model test data and the corresponding values predicted by the Savitsky method using our modified computation procedure, and by the XFlow CFD software using our suitable inputs in calculation cases are within ±5% and ±3%, respectively.

Introduction
In planing hull design, accurate prediction of its resistance is a difficult task due to complex hydrodynamic interactions at high speeds and is often performed by three methods: model testing, empirical formulas, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Model testing is the most reliable approach but it is expensive and time-consuming, so it is often used in cases where it is necessary, or used to verify and validate the results predicted by others. Also, since dynamic similarity cannot be fulfilled in model tests, it is necessary to use Froude or Prohaska methods to extrapolate results from model scale to full scale, which causes certain errors. Empirical formulas or graphs are established based on the systematization of resistance data of series model tests with hull form similarities (Holtrop & Mennen 1982; Faltinsen 2006). As a result, there are many different empirical resistance formulas and graphs depending on the type of ship used in the model tests. Table 1 shows some common empirical formulas or graphs for planing hull resistance with different ranges of hull parameters that can be found in related documents, such as Kafali (1959), Nordstrom (1951), Groot (1951), Almeter (1993), etc.
