Expert Opinions on the Debate of Pericardial Reconstruction in Cardiovascular Surgery: To Close or Not to Close?
Authors: Rego Alfredo , Boyd W. Douglas , Gongora Enrique , Johnson, III William E. , Munfakh Nabil A. , Pirris John , Wolf Randall K. 
Published: January 2022

Background: As of 2019, pericardial closure was performed in only a small portion of the over 320,000 cardiac surgeries performed annually. However, evidence regarding the benefits of pericardial closure or reconstruction has been accruing, particularly with the publication of the RECON study in 2019.
Methods: This group of authors convened to try to arrive at consensus expert opinion regarding pericardial reconstruction. Structured topic questions initially were used to stimulate discussion. Subsequently, a survey of proposed expert opinion statements was conducted among the authors. Based on that survey, consensus expert opinion statements and recommendations were compiled.
Results: The expert opinions encompass various topics relating to pericardial reconstruction, including definitions, benefits/risks, and technique. Observed benefits include reductions in: (1) adhesions; (2) postoperative pericardial effusion, atrial fibrillation, and bleeding; and (3) readmissions and length of hospital stay. Expert opinion recommendations regarding surgical technique are compiled into a single chart. Complete pericardial reconstruction should be performed, using native pericardial tissue if available and viable; if not feasible, a patch may be used. Patches that stimulate the formation of site-specific tissue in situ (such as natural extracellular matrix) may have additional benefits (including bioregenerative properties and lack of inflammatory response). Closure should be taut, but tension-free. Adequate drainage of the closed pericardium must be ensured.
Conclusions: Based on available data and collective surgical experience, we endorse pericardial reconstruction as standard approach in appropriately selected patients. We also endorse adoption of standardized pericardial reconstruction techniques to optimize patient outcomes and improve evidence quality in future studies.

Published: January 2022

Everyone lives with a variety of presumptions that are not always to their liking, this allows a person to experience tremendous pressure and will foster a prolonged new problem. Post-power syndrome is a phenomenon that occurs in an elderly person who is not ready for old age, motivated by job loss and decreased function of certain organs. Researchers used qualitative research methods through case studies and observations of primary subjects. In this study apply reinforcement work or reinforcement in helping sufferers towards healing, in the form of positive reinforcement on daily good behavior. The results of this study showed that this reinforcement technique has an effect on the healing of post-power syndrome, while involving the participation of the family and the surrounding environment to bring out the meaning in the subject.
Mathematical Methods for the Study of Toponims with Lost Semantics
Authors: Borovsky Andrey , Rakovskaya Elena 
Published: January 2022

The article discusses methods for restoring the lost meaning of old toponyms. This task can be solved using a systematic approach. The study used methods of permutation and transformation of consonants in the backbone of a toponym, methods of di- and trichotomy of a word, formation of a table of all possible transformants, a method for finding associates for all transformants of a word using the vector model of the Russian language, a method for clustering the found associates, a method for determining the frequency of repetition of associates in the corpus of the Russian language, which allows you to calculate the probabilities of the appearance of various clusters, a method of lexical analysis of Old Church Slavonic languages, including Old Russian and Sanskrit. The use of a set of methods made it possible to restore the lost meaning of the toponym Moscow. It turned out that with a probability of more than 80 % the name of our capital goes back to the name of the commander and spiritual leader of the first half of the 15th century, who had the nicknames Mosokh, Meshekh, Moses Khan (Prince). The army of medieval Russia (Tatar-Mongolia) created by this man defeated Byzantium and subjugated Western Europe. During the Romanov dynasty, Western European scholars-Russophobes deleted the name of the commander from the history of Russia. As a result, the toponym Moscow has lost its original meaning. The article also restored the lost meaning of the two most important toponyms of Eastern Siberia - Lake Baikal and the Angara River. It turned out that the lake got its name from the old Russian exclamation Bai-ka-al = ay, how divine! The name of the Angara River in Old Russian means the mountains of Christ.

This article presents the design process of the ceramic permeable pavement including the main results of the tests carried in the laboratory and the main results of the project relate to: environmental and economic assessment of the CERSUDS system, user's validation of the system, monitoring of the system's mechanical performance and permeability, and monitoring of the demonstrator's hydraulic response in terms of the quantity and quality of run-off water.
A comparative study of intravenous lignocaine, dexamethasone and combination of lignocaine-dexamethasone in attenuating propofol induced pain
Authors: Kuriakose Biby Mary , Krishnakumar Kavitha 
Published: January 2022

Background: General anesthesia is preferred during surgeries to reduce the pain stimuli in patients and to increase the precision of surgical procedure. Propofol is amongst the most widely used general anesthetic agent with limitation of induced pain during administration. Current study was conducted to compare the effect of intravenous pre-administration of various drugs in attenuating propofol induced pain. Methods: A comparative observational study was conducted on patients of either sex and aged between 18-60 years. Patients were divided in three groups, who received intravenous lignocaine, dexamethasone and combination of lignocaine-dexamethasone respectively to attenuate propofol induced pain. Different variables like HR, SBP, DBP, MAP, RR SpO2 and any adverse events were monitored in all the patients. Results: The 46.66% and 53.33% patients who received lignocaine and dexamethasone alone perceived propofol induced mild to moderate pain; while only 23.33% patients who received lignocaine and dexamethasone in combination perceived mild propofol induced pain. The propofol induced pain event was persistent in only 2 out of 30 patients after a time lapse of 30 seconds for the group receiving lignocaine and dexamethasone in combination. Whereas, the pain event was present even after time lapse of 30 seconds in 08 and 07 out of 30 patients of groups receiving lignocaine and dexamethasone alone.Conclusions: Pre-administration of lignocaine and dexamethasone in combination attenuated the propofol induced pain more significantly in comparison to single administration of mentioned drugs. No significant adverse events except perianal irritation were observed in some patients who received combination of lignocaine and dexamethasone intravenously.

Published: January 2022

AbstractAnthocyanins from different sources have been reported for its potential as thermal process indicator. This research aimed in particular to study the color degradation kinetics of anthoyanin from Roselle and in general to provide alternative natural indicator for thermal process. Roselle’s anthocyanin extract was incorporated into 3 biodegradable films (i.e agar, pectin, PVA). Thermal degradation kinetics of anthocyanin’s color (ΔE and Chroma) in biodegradable film was studied at selected temperatures (80oC, 90oC, and 100oC). The color change was observed at minute 0, 30, 60 and 120 by computer vision method. The results showed that anthocyanin incorporated into PVA film had the highest value of activation energy (Ea), while anthocyanin incorporated into pectin film had the smallest value of Ea. Lower value of Ea indicating that the anthocyanin chroma is easily degraded at low temperature. Higher value of Ea indicating that it needshigher energy or higher temperature to degrade the color. The results of this study showed that anthocyanin in PVA film can be selected as indicator for high temperature thermal process (e.g. sterilization), while anthocyanin in pectin film can be used in lower temperature thermal process (e.g. pasteurization). AbstrakPotensi antosianin dari berbagai sumber sebagai indikator proses termal alami telah banyak dilaporkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari kinetika degradasi warna film-antosianin serta menentukan kombinasibiodegradable film-antosianin terbaik sebagai alternatif indikator proses termal. Pengamatan kinetik ini dilakukan pada suhu 80oC, 90oC, dan 100oC dan parameter degradasi warna yang diukur adalah ΔE danChroma. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa antosianin pada film PVA mempunyai nilai energi aktivasi (Ea) paling besar, sedangkan antosianin pada film pektin mempunyai nilai Ea paling kecil. Nilai Ea degradasiwarna antosianin yang kecil pada film pektin menunjukkan bahwa degradasi warna sudah dapat berjalan pada suhu yang rendah. Sedangkan nilai Ea degradasi warna antosianin yang lebih besar pada film PVA menunjukkan bahwa antosianin pada film tersebut merupakan yang paling sensitif terhadap perubahan suhu dan paling signifikan perubahan warnanya. Namun perubahan warna yang signifikan pada antosianinpada film PVA membutuhkan suhu yang lebih tinggi sehingga lebih tepat untuk digunakan sebagai indikator pada proses termal dengan suhu yang tinggi (misalnya sterilisasi), sedangkan antosianin pada film pektin dapat digunakan pada proses termal dengan suhu yang lebih rendah (misalnya pasteurisasi).

Relationships between coping strategies and psychoactive substance use
Authors: Keczeli Danica 
Published: January 2022

The study examines the relationship between coping strategies and smoking and alcohol consumption among athletes, recreational athletes and non-athlete individuals.
The factors examined were measured by a validated questionnaire version of Folkman-Lazarus (1980) (Ways of coping) (16 items) and asked about the smoking and alcohol consumption patterns of the respondents. The total sample number was 813 people, of whom 341 were athletes, 292 were recreational and 180 were non-athletes. 54.4% of the sample is female and 45.6% is male. In my research, I focused on mapping intrapersonal coping strategies among athletes, recreational athletes, and the non-athlete individuals, and explored gender differences. Furthermore, how smoking and alcohol consumption appear as a negative coping strategy in the measured sample.
As a method besides descriptive statistics the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to verify normality, and the hypotheses were tested with non-parameterized test (Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney).
For coping strategies I found a significant difference among the non-, recreational and competitive athletes, and there is a significant difference between genders as well.
In the case of cognitive restructurings, there was a significant difference in favor of sports and recreational athletes versus non-athletes, while in problem analysis and passive coping I found a significant difference in favor of women compared to men.
Significant differences were also found in the case of psychoactive substance use. Among the three groups, as the intensity of sport increases, the number of smokers decreases. In the case of smoking, a significant difference was found in the coping strategies referring to reduction of the stress in the whole sample. In the case of alcohol consumption, in coping strategies were found significant differences between stress reduction, problem analysis and passive coping.

Economic importance of the Hungarian sports sector in international comparison
Authors: Koroknay Zsuzsa 
Published: January 2022

Sport is one of the most dynamically developing sectors in the world. During my research, I was looking for the answer to why and how the economic aspects of sport have evolved in recent times. I examined and evaluated sports economy indicators for the global (The European Union) and territorial (Hungary) units (for the last twenty years). The need for measurability is constantly increasing nowadays. This can also be seen in the markets of the sports sector, so we can find databases that are increasingly expanding in this sector. I have analysed EUROSTAT databases - with indexing – which can provide relevant information. The research field was two economic aspects, the number of employee and trade in sporting goods. The number of employees was analysed separately by the European Union and Hungary. In the examination of trade in sporting goods The Hungarian trade in sporting goods was compared to the neighbouring European Union countries. Based on my results, I can say that the economic importance of the sports sector has increased within the European Union and Hungary as well because the number of employed people in sports and the trade in sporting goods has increased.

Profitability of cassava production in the Ashanti region of Ghana
Authors: Okyere Paul , Baidoo Jacqueline 
Published: January 2022

Cassava is a crop that is massively produced and consumed in Ghana even though it is produced by subsistence farmers. The aim of this study is to analyse the cost and returns of cassava farmers. Farmers profitability was accessed using the gross margin, net present value and the benefit cost ratio. SWOT analysis was conducted to access challenges faced by cassava farmers. Data was collected by personal interview from fifty (50) cassava growing farmers in the Sekyere East District of the Ashanti Region, Ghana. The Costs and returns analysis show gross margin of USD 22.75 per acre. It was concluded that cassava is cultivated for both consumption and revenue. Even though there is low investment of capital in cassava production, it helps farmers to make use of available resources (personal savings, land and labour) which would have been idle. Further should compare profitability of crops that compete for use of famers land.

Analysis of time management and self-management work practice by leaders – a focus group study
Authors: Gyopár Csapai Erzsébet , Varga Dorottya , Berke Szilárd 
Published: January 2022

Nowadays excellent leadership is one of the foundations of high organizational performance. Leadership excellence is a complex topic but efficiency and effectiveness are important components of it. These are closely linked to self-management and time management. In our focus group research, we asked senior executives about how they organize their average workday. We used two theoretical models: the Blue Ocean model and the Franklin Covey time-matrix. According to the participants the key component of effective self-management is the time management. In their leadership practice they often use a digital task manager, a workshop, an informal meeting as a tool and they find knowledge sharing also very important. They try to approach their employees empathetically. They would like to reduce the administrative tasks, spend less time on correspondence, travel and “small talks”. They would like to spend more time on automation and communication, further training and team work and dealing with the employees. They think that strategic planning, market analysis, sales, knowledge development and transfer should require more planning.

Practice Education Network for Social Work (PENSW): Evaluation of an online resource
Authors: Plenty Jackie , Dix Heidi , Barley Louise 
Published: January 2022

The Practice Education Network for Social Work (PENSW) is an online resource for networking and sharing knowledge and information that is accessed by all the professionals and partner agencies involved in providing social work placements and supervising social work students at the University of Suffolk (UOS) in the United Kingdom (UK). This research explored the ease with which such networks can be set up, and offers an evaluation from network members. Given limited national resources and the need to provide more localised resources; this evaluation demonstrates the importance of providing an easily accessible virtual space for organisations and professionals to access resources, network, and share best practice. The findings suggest that all social work training programmes should consider providing a localised network to support the social work placement process by ensuring that supervisors of social work students have access to necessary documentation, research, and information so that they can effectively fulfil their roles, and stay connected to the programme provider and other professionals involved in social work student practice placements.Keywords: social work placements; supervision; networking; resources; information sharing; practice education.
How do we professionalise social work without losing our soul? A reflection on the role and purpose of practice placements within social work education
Authors: Bald Caroline , Howells Aisha 
Published: January 2022

A recurring question of social work is its purpose. To change culture or to help the individual. One drawing on systemic radical social work skills, the other relationship-based social justice skills. Placements are an important part for practicing, developing and consolidating academic learning. It is social work in practice, and the place to hone employability skills. This reflection explores the benefits and challenges of the change considering whether this is towards professionalisation or marketisation.

The Role of Interprofessional Learning in Developing Transformative Health & Social Work Professionals
Authors: Strudwick Ruth Mary , Harvey-Lloyd Jane Marie , Hadwen Hollie C 
Published: January 2022

Interprofessional learning (IPL) is an integral part of all health and social care undergraduate education programmes at our university. It is widely considered that IPL encourages health and social care students to learn from and about one another and that this process underpins a better understanding not only of their own professional roles but also those of others. This in turn promotes more effective teamwork, enhances integrated service user pathways and therefore provides improved care for service users. IPL is transformative as it enables students to consider their role in the interprofessional team rather than focussing on themselves (Schmitt et al., 2011). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the experience of delivering IPL at our university by using examples from our modules in order to highlight and debate the importance of IPL in preparing health and social care students for their professional roles. The article will describe two IPL modules where students work in interprofessional groups exploring and discussing practice-based case studies. All of the staff and students involved completed a feedback questionnaire which evaluated their experiences of undertaking the case study exercise. The impact of these experiences will be discussed in terms of professional development for the students involved and the impact that these learning experiences have on their future roles. We will argue that these IPL experiences allow students to develop their own professional roles and identity, understand the roles of others and are enabled to provide more holistic care for service users. We believe that working together in interprofessional groups to look at practice-based service user case studies is transformative in that it enables the students to learn from and about other professionals, it equips them with knowledge about one another’s roles and enables them to work together more effectively with other members of the interprofessional team (CAIPE, 2008). This in turn enables the students to work together for the good of their service users and thereby becoming more compassionate and person-centred professionals.
