Published: June 2022

Background: School Health Program or UKS aims to improve students learning achievement by improving their health status including the fulfillment of nutrition so that they can grow and develop optimally. The nutritional problems of school-age children in Indonesia, according to Riskesdas 2018 data, are children with the short/stunting category reaching 30.7%, while those who are obese are 8% and anemic 26%. Nutritional problems in school children will affect the quality of human resources in the future. Objectives: This study examined the effect of promoting healthy and safe snacks by UKS’s cadres on increasing knowledge, attitudes, behavior of students and snack sellers.Materials and Methods: The first stage of research was training elementary school students UKS’s cadres who will become educators on promoting healthy and safe food consumption behavior. The second stage was assessed to 360 randomly selected students and 94 school vendors in 12 different schools. The intervention schools received a package of promotions delivered by UKS’s cadres while the comparison group received the poster. Data on knowledge, attitudes, behavior of students and food sellers were collected using a questionnaire instrument. The data were collected by the researchers assisted by 12 enumerators, 6 research field assistants and 12 teachers in charge of the research field. Bivariate analysis using t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann Whitney test were used to assess the differences between the groups. Results: After intervention by UKS.s cadres, there was a change in students' knowledge of 51.1% for knowledge of healthy snacks, 52.8% about safe snacks, 82.8% about formalin, 62.8% about borax, and 75.6% about Rhodamine B. Changes in the behavior of snack sellers, the highest percentage of changes in holding food with tools is 62.5% and not holding food after holding money is 54.2%. Increased change were significantly higher in the intervention groups than the comparison group (p <0.05).Conclusion: The UKS’s cadres as trained peer-educators could significantly improve safe and healthy food behavior of students as well as knowledge of snack school vendors. UKS’s cadres as promoters of healthy and safe snacks can be used as a mandatory UKS program in school to achieve food safety for school children

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Previously, spectra of certain weighted composition operators W ѱ, φ
on H
2 were determined under one of two hypotheses: either φ converges under iteration to the Denjoy-Wolff point uniformly on all of 𝔻 rather than simply on compact subsets, or φ is “essentially linear fractional.” We show that if φ is a quadratic self-map of 𝔻 of parabolic type, then the spectrum of Wѱ, φ
can be found when these maps exhibit both of the aforementioned properties, and we determine which symbols do so.

Authors: Zhou Hang 
Published: June 2022

AbstractLet (X, 𝒜,μ) be a σ−finite measure space. A transformationϕ:X→Xis non-singular ifμ∘ϕ−1is absolutely continuous with respect withμ. For this non-singular transformation, the composition operatorCϕ: 𝒟(Cϕ) →L2(μ) is defined byCϕf=f∘ϕ,f∈ 𝒟(Cϕ).For a fixed positive integern≥ 2, basic properties of productCϕn· · ·Cϕ1inL2(μ) are presented in Section 2, including the boundedness and adjoint. Under the assistance of these properties, normality and quasinormality of specific boundedCϕn· · ·Cϕ1inL2(μ) are characterized in Section 3 and 4 respectively, whereCϕ1,Cϕ2, · · ·,Cϕnare all densely defined.
An overview of anti-corrosion properties of ionic liquids for corrosion of carbon steel in acidic media
Authors: Shetty S. Kshama , Upadhya H. Sadhana 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The review article summarizes various ionic liquids (ILs) used as corrosion inhibitors reported in the literature during the preceding five years (2016–2020) for corrosion of carbon steel in acidic solutions. The ILs are a green and sustainable choice for corrosion inhibition as compared to natural extracts as corrosion inhibitors due to lack of stability which restricts their application at the industrial level. The review discusses the inhibition efficiency of the ILs as corrosion inhibitors; the evaluation techniques like weight-loss method, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, etc., used for determination of inhibition efficiency and plausible mechanism of inhibition, adsorption isotherms are discussed. The review affirms that ionic liquids serve as excellent green corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel dissolution in acidic media. Most of the reported inhibition efficiency values ranged between 80 to 90% at minute concentrations which is valuable. The scope for further improvements is given for the benefit of readers.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Halide perovskite metasurfaces are attracting increasing interest for applications in light-emitting and display technologies. To access the wide range of colors required for these applications, the main mechanism exploited thus far has been chemical engineering of the perovskite compounds – this constitutes a significant limitation for the dynamic switching of optical response desirable in actual devices. Here we demonstrate polarization-dependent, dynamic control of structural color and emission wavelength in an all-dielectric phase-change halide perovskite nanograting metasurface, by temperature tuning. This is underpinned by the significant change in the perovskite optical constants which accompanies its phase-transition around room temperature. The functionalities demonstrated in our work bearing potential for applications in light-emitting devices, displays and spatial-light-modulators.
Feeling Capable in an Ubuntu Way: Kenyan Comprehensions of Control Beliefs Compared with the German Perspective

Published: June 2022

Abstract
In Western personnel psychology, control beliefs are a valued predictor for work-related outcomes. Yet, little is known about the culture-specific functioning of control in East Africa. Kenya, as an Ubuntu culture, is examined regarding control beliefs and contrasted with a German sample considered to represent an individualistic or Western culture. Responses to N=143 quantitative personality tests were attended with qualitative interviews on control beliefs (self-concept of ability, internality, powerful others, and chance). Content validity and factor structure of control beliefs were analyzed, followed by a Procrustean target rotation. Linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the predictability of job performance, achievement motivation, and well-being. Item comprehension, as well as factor structure of the four control aspects, differ between the two samples. In particular, the ‘powerful others’ control aspect diverges the most between the cultures. Linear regression analyses showed comparable, but not fully congruent predictability. Results indicate that an uncritical transfer of the control beliefs measure from one culture to another is inappropriate. Results fit in the picture of African Ubuntu philosophy, emphasizing social-relational aspects shaping control beliefs. More emic-etic based research is demanded concerning intra- and intercultural variability of control beliefs to depict a transcultural applicable and invariant model.

Objective: To investigate the hospital visits and mortality rate during the COVID-19 in emergency department of Vlora regional hospital in Albania and to compare with the three previous years (2017–2019). Methods: Secondary data of patients that visited emergency department of Vlora Regional hospital Albania (largest hospital in the south of the country), since January 1, 2017 till December 31, 2020. This is a retrospective study. We used the hard copy of the patients’ health register records. The data extraction was conducted during March 2021 till June 2021. Eligible were all patients admitted and recorded in the registry of the emergency department. The causes of admission were categorized in 14 different disease categories. All registered patients admitted to the Vlora regional hospital were included in the study. Results: Study population included 44,917 patients during 2017–2020. Mean age of patients was 51.5 years, while 53.6% were females. The highest number of patients was in 2017 (n=12,407) and the lowest in 2020 (n=9,266). Increase of patients presented with cardiovascular, psychiatric and renal/urinary tract was observed in 2020 in comparison to 2019. Patients decreased over time with an average annual percent decrease of 7% (p-value=0.22). Joinpoint analysis revealed that mortality rate increased over time with an average annual percent increase of 34.3% (95% confidence interval=42.7% to 214.8%, p-value=0.27). Conclusions: The number of patients visiting emergency department decreased while mortality rate increased. Educating and raising awareness of patient to seek medical assistance should be a key objective of health policy makers and health personnel.
Making sense of the ‘Word of God’ and ‘fundamental doctrines’: The questions and Formula in Church of Scotland ordination and setting-apart
Authors: Drummond Brian 
Published: June 2022

This article considers references to the ‘Word of God’ and ‘fundamental doctrines’ in the Formula and questions used in ordaining ministers, elders and deacons, and in setting apart readers. History and research suggest that ‘contained in’ has different meanings in two of the questions, and ‘fundamental doctrines’ means some but not all of the Westminster Confession of Faith doctrines, together with some doctrines on which that Confession is silent. A 1935 statement helps clarify what doctrines are ‘fundamental’, as do a 1992 statement, and the first 1926 Article Declaratory. The little-known 1935 statement is included as an Appendix.Note: This paper was not part of the original conference and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Theological Forum.

Aim. To determine the relationship between perioperative factors and cognitive function in patients after coronary bypass grafting (CABG) in combination with unilateral carotid endarterectomy (CE).Material and methods. We examined 56 men in the perioperative period with CABG combined with unilateral CE (mean age, 64,0±7,1 years). Cognitive assessment was performed before and 5-7 days after surgery with Status PF program. An advanced psychometric examination included an assessment of voluntary attention (Bourdon test), short-term memory (tests on memorizing 10 numbers, 10 words, and 10 syllables), neurodynamics (visual-motor reaction time, level of functional mobility of nervous processes, brain performance, as well as the number of errors in these tasks and missed positive signals). The concentration of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S100β protein in the blood serum of patients before surgery, 24 hours and 5-7 days after surgery was determined using enzyme immunoassay.Results. In the early postoperative period, an increase in reaction time (p=0,031) was accompanied by an increase in errors in this test (p=0,042) and a decrease in the number of memorized numbers (p=0,022). Twenty four hours and 5-7 days after surgery, there were no differences between the perioperative NSE level (p1-2-3>0.05). Twenty four hours after CABG surgery, the level of S100β protein increased by 9,0% (p=0,001), while regression of S100β protein to the preoperative level was observed 5-7 days after operation.Conclusion. A relationship was found between the CABG factor and the attention level (r=-0,518; p=0,031), functional mobility reaction time (r=0,476; p=0,041), and the number of errors (r=0,449; p=0,032). A correlation was found between the factor of neurochemical markers, the number of processed letters on the 1st minute of Bourdon test (r=-0,642; p=0,014), the total number of processed letters in Bourdon test (r=-0,617; p=0,017). The combined factor of perioperative period was associated with functional mobility reaction time (r=0,609; p=0,041), the number of processed letters at 4 min (r=-0,490; p=0,017), and the total number of processed letters in the Bourdon test (r=-0,334; p=0,006).

Published: June 2022

Aim. Using a representative sample of the Krasnoyarsk Krai population, to evaluate the distribution of the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), logarithmically transformed ratio of molar concentrations of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and to identify possible associations between AIP, various cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic parameters.Material and methods. The study included a random representative sample of 1603 residents of the Krasnoyarsk and Berezovsky rural district aged 25-64 years as part of the Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases and their Risk Factors in Regions of Russian Federation (ESSE-RF) study. Statistical processing was performed using IBM SPSS v22 and Microsoft Excel 2021 programs. We assessed the prevalence of hypertension (HTN), coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and renal dysfunction in the whole sample and in groups with different risk depending on AIP. Differences between groups were tested by Yates’s chi-squared test and were considered significant at p≤0,05.Results. Depending on AIP value, 73,5% of participants were in the low-risk group (AIP <0,10), 10,4% — in moderate risk group (AIP, 0,100,24) and 16,1% — in high-risk group (AIP>0,24). The prevalence of prior MI or stroke in the moderate and high-risk group for AIP was significantly higher than in the low-risk group (p=0,024). A regular increase in HTN prevalence was registered from 42,6% in the lowrisk group to 71,4% in the high-risk group for AIP (p<0,001 for all). There was a significant increase in the proportion of patients with a combination of HTN + elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels as AIP risk increased — from 28,4% at low risk to 45,2% at high risk. There were no significant differences between AIP risk groups in the prevalence of coronary artery disease and renal dysfunction.Conclusion. AIP is a simple additional estimated parameter that characterizes the atherogenic properties of plasma. Based on a cohort of Krasnoyarsk Krai subjects, an elevated level of AIP is associated with an increased prevalence of MI and strokes. Determination of AIP may be especially useful in the case of normal baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.

Published: June 2022

Aim. To assess the right ventricle (RV) during chemotherapy (CT) in patients with breast cancer (BC).Material and methods. The study included 40 women aged 35-72 years with BC who underwent anthracycline chemotherapy. The main group (n=40) included women with BC, examined at the first contact, 37 of whom were reexamined after 6 months. Control group (n=25) included women without BC.Results. In the main group, the median transverse dimension and anterior wall thickness of the RV were significantly greater than in the control group (p<0,001). Early diastolic transtricuspid flow velocity (Et) after 6 months was lower than in the control group (p=0,003). The ratio of Et to late (At) diastolic transtricuspid flow (Et/At) in BC patients significantly decreased during the follow-up period (p<0,05) when compared with the control group and baseline values. Higher values of Tei index were noted in the main group compared to the control one (p<0,05). Using logistic regression for the Tei index, the model included radiation therapy, the total anthracycline dose, and negative affectivity score as follows: F(3,17)=12,548, p<0,001, R2=0,729. For the Et/At ratio, additional radiation therapy and heart rate were significant factors as follows: F(2,16)=12,548, p=0,005, R2=0,526.Conclusion. Against the background of CT, deterioration of RV systolic (increase in Tei index and RV volume) and diastolic (decrease in Et and Et/At ratio) function was noted.

Previous studies have shown significant differences in the health status of the population depending on the place of residence. Despite the ongoing preventive measures, there is no improvement in the epidemiological situation in relation to noncommunicable diseases, including due to unfavorable living conditions. This study is a continuation of the following earlier studies: Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases in Regions of Russian Federation (ESSE-RF) and ESSE-RF-2.Aim. To assess the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, various risk factors (RFs) of these diseases and their association in Russian regions with different economic, climate and geographic characteristics to determine the risk profile of the region and develop approaches to targeted prevention programs specific to the regions.Material and methods. The study selected 30 regions representing each federal district of the Russian Federation. The survey of participants is carried out in three stages as follows: survey using an original modular questionnaire; measurements, including anthropometry, hand grip strength test, blood pressure and heart rate assessment; blood sampling, followed by biobanking and laboratory tests.Conclusion. The results obtained will allow deepening knowledge about the RF profile specific to a particular region, evaluating the effectiveness of preventive programs, and planning new ones taking into account regional and socio-demographic characteristics. This will become the basis for a better understanding of the socio-economic burden of noncommunicable diseases and the economic damage of RFs.

Amaç
Üriner sistem taş hastalıkları ülkemizde ve dünyada
sık görülmektedir. Flexıble üreterorenoskop (flex
URS) ilk defa 1964 yılında Marshall tarafından tanımlanmıştır
ve ilerleyen teknoloji ile birlikte 1987 yılında
cerrahi teknik olarak kılavuzlarda yerini almıştır. Endikasyonları
hızla genişlemektedir. Bu çalışmamızda
kliniğimizde retrograde intrarenal cerrahi (RIRS) uygulanan
hastaların verileri retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Gereç ve Yöntem
Mart 2017 ile Ocak 2019 tarihleri arasında Süleyman
Demirel Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi (SDÜ) üroloji kliniğinde
RIRS yapılmış 106 hastanın demografik verileri,
taş boyutları, lokalizasyonları, skopi süresi, taşsızlık
oranları ve postoperatif komplikasyonlar retrospektif
olarak değerlendirildi. İşlem sonrası tüm hastalar 4
hafta sonra direkt üriner sistem grafisi ve bilgisayarlı
tomografi görüntüleme yöntemleriyle değerlendirildi.
Bulgular
RIRS uygulanan 106 hastanın (66 erkek, 40 kadın)
ortanca yaşı 52 (23-73) yıl olup, ortalama taş boyutu
13,9 (7-19) mm olarak hesaplandı. Ortalama operasyon
ve floroskopi süresi sırayla;74 (30-135) dakika,
62 (20-136) saniyedir. İşlem öncesinde hiçbir hastada
DJ kateteri yoktu ancak tüm hastalara işlem sonunda
DJ kateteri yerleştirildi ve kateter 4 hafta sonra lokal
anestezi altında çekildi. On bir (%10,3) olguda üreter
darlığı nedeniyle, 8(%7,5) olguda da rezidü taş
nedeniyle 2. seans yapıldı.RIRS yapılan taşların 19
(%17,9) üst kalikste, 9(%8,4) orta kalikste, 40 (%37,7)
alt kalikste, 38(%35,8) olguda renalpelviste olduğu
değerlendirildi. Hastalarımızın % 82,1’ inde ilk seansta
taşsızlık sağlandığı bulundu. İkinci seans sonrası
taşsızlık oranı % 92,5 olarak tespit edildi. Hastaların
ortalama yatış süreleri 1,5 gün (1-9) gündü. Beş hastada
postoperatif dönemde üriner sistem enfeksiyonu
gelişti. RIRS uygulanan hastalarda cerrahi ya da cerrahi
dışı nedenle mortaliteye rastlanmadı.
Sonuç
RIRS, taş cerrahisinde etkinlik ve komplikasyonlar
açısından güvenilir bir yöntemdir. Özellikle ESWL dirençli
taşlarda, obez, kas iskelet deformiteli hastalarda,

görüşündeyiz.
ANALYSIS OF FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATIONS OF THE THYROID: CYTOLOGICAL-HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CORRELATION AND OUTCOMES OF THE BETHESDA SYSTEM
Authors: TAN Ayca 
Published: June 2022

Objective
The Bethesda system is widely used to evaluate
aspiration of thyroid nodules. The aim of the study is to
evaluate the usability of the system by the correlation
between cytology and final histopathology results and
to review the literature.
Materials and Methods
Fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules reported using
Bethesda system were analyzed. Malignancy rates
were calculated by the results of thyroidectomies. To
analyze the power of the Bethesda system six distinct
subgroups were designed. The sensitivity, specificity,
positive predictive value, negative predictive value
and diagnostic accuracy were calculated separately
in these subgroups. The data were analyzed using
SPSS 20 for Windows.
Results
The distribution of thyroid nodules according to
the Bethesda was 2212 (33.5%), 3163 (47.9%),
720 (10.9%), 67 (1%), 361 (5.5%) and 75 (1.1%),
respectively. Of 873 nodules that underwent
thyroidectomy, 254 (29.9%) were diagnosed as
malignant. The diagnostic categories according to
thyroidectomies were 233 (26.7 %), 277 (31.7%),
137 (15.7%), 23 (2.6%), 163 (18.7%) and 40 (4.6%),
respectively. The malignancy rates of each Bethesda
category were 14.5%, 6.8%, 32.8%, 52.1%, 66.8%
and 97.5%. The sensitivity, spesifity, positive
predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value
(NPV) and accuracy of fine needle aspiration was
calculated and ranged from 61.8% to 89.3%, 79.6% to
99.6%, 70.4% to 97.5%, 84.5% to 93.1% and 79.5%
to 93.6%, respectively.
Conclusion
The limitation of this study is that the B1 category is very
high. However, since the data are evaluated by only
one pathologist and it is one of the first three studies
with the highest number of cases, it makes a significant
contribution to the literature in terms of all categories
except B1. The Bethesda system is a classification
that provides the clinician with appropriate clinical
follow-up and the accurate treatment approach, and a
high interobserver agreement for pathologists.
