description: Food supply chains consist of many links and operate on a global scale with many stakeholders involved from farm to fork. Each stakeholder maintains data about food products that they handle, but this data is not transparently available to all stakeholders in the chain and trust in data sharing is low. In addition, there are various other data sources that contain interesting data for stakeholders in the food chain, such as import/export transactions, production (forecast) data, parcel crop information, local weather predictions and social media streams. To improve their production, growers and traders are very interested in trends in the market and activities in supply and demand. To make all stakeholders in the food chain benefit from these data sources and to share data more transparently, the Dutch horticulture and food domain is developing the HortiCube platform via which various data sources are made accessible to application developers using a secure, linked data application interface. This paper describes the design and engineering of the semantic approach to enable interoperability between data sources. This includes (1) a high-level design of the HortiCube, (2) the metadata ontology used for describing the contents of the data sources in the HortiCube, (3) the common horticulture model used to achieve semantic alignment between data sources in the HortiCube, (4) a test application for a specific product case and (5) a discussion of our results and future work on this topic. The main contribution of our research is the generic solution and ontology design to the semantic challenges that arise when different data sources are combined to answer analysis questions for the user.

description: Background: Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infection has become a significant burden worldwide that poses a formidable clinical threat, with persistently high morbidity and mortality and successful treatment remains challenging. Pregnant mothers are at increased risk of acquiring MRSA during their frequent checkups at health institutions. Indeed, there is a paucity of information on the nasal carriage rate of MRSA among pregnant women. The aim of this study was to determine the nasal carriage rate of MRSA, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and associated risk factors among pregnant women attending the University of Gondar Compressive Specialized Hospital. Method: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out involving a total of 423 pregnant women from February-April 2020. A systematic random sampling technique was used to recruit the study participants. Nasal swabs were collected and inoculated on Mannitol salt agar and blood agar then incubated at 35°C for 24hrs. Gram stain, catalase and coagulase tests were performed. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed on Muller Hinton agar. Methicillin resistance was detected using a cefoxitin disc. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 was used as quality control. Data were entered using Epi-Info version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 20 statistical software. The association between outcome and risk factors was done using the Pearson Chi-square test. P-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Result: S. aureus and MRSA were isolated in 60/423 (14.2%) and 8/423 (1.9%) of the study participants, respectively. The highest isolation rates of total S. aureus and MRSA isolate were found in the age group 31-40 years and in urban dwellers. One hundred percent of the MRSA strains were sensitive to erythromycin and clindamycin. Nasal carriage of MRSA was significantly associated with age, history of having a respiratory infection, history of hospitalization, history of contact with a person with skin infection, and history of sharing personal items such as towels or razors. Conclusion: The result of this study indicated that a considerable amount of MRSA nasal colonization is observed. Hence, routine screening of pregnant women is important to prevent endogenous infections and the spread of MRSA.

description: Public administration is intricately linked with economic principles, playing a pivotal role in resource allocation, policy formulation, and governance. This article delves into the economic foundations of public administration, exploring key concepts such as resource scarcity, cost-benefit analysis, fiscal policy, and government intervention. It highlights the challenges posed by scarcity and the importance of efficient resource allocation through tools like cost-benefit analysis. Fiscal policies, revenue generation methods, and strategies to address market failures are also discussed within the context of public administration. Moreover, the abstract touches upon the global dimension, emphasizing the impact of globalization and economic interdependence on public sector decision-making. Understanding these economic foundations is essential for effective policy implementation and sustainable governance in a dynamic socio-economic landscape.

description: In this article, we examine the function of territorial representation by national cabinet ministers in multi-ethnic democracies. In particular, we observe whether ministers from regions with a specific identity shape a distinctive sense of representation in the national executive, and whether this depends on how political parties and the party system articulate it. Borrowing from Pitkin’s four dimensions of political representation, we investigate the recruitment and role of ministers from the three distinct Spanish regions of the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia. This paper stresses that these ministers have played a distinctly territorial representative role in the national cabinet quite unlike that of ministers from other Spanish regions. Nevertheless, it is worth noting the poorest performance of Catalan ministers in relation to their Basque and Galician counterparts in terms of descriptive representation, levels of partisanship, survival rates and appointment to certain portfolios.

description: The purpose of this project was to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to anesthetic gas usage by implementing a clinical decision support tool (CDST) into the electronic medical record (EMR), reminding clinicians to minimize or avoid the use of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the operating room (OR) at a Southern California Kaiser Permanente (KP) facility. This project built upon a previous doctoral project that examined the effects of provider education, attitudes, and other characteristics on reducing nitrous oxide use in the OR at the same KP facility. Baseline nitrous oxide usage in terms of liters per minute flow and duration of use in minutes was compared with liters per minute flow and duration of use in minutes in March, April, May, June, July, and August 2021, after implementation of a CDST into the EMR flowsheet. When compared to baseline data, there was no statistically significant reduction observed in nitrous oxide use in liters per minute (L/min) flow (p=0.406) or duration of use in minutes (p=0.333) after CDST implementation. While there was no statistically significant difference in mean L/min flow, a marginally significant difference in median flows (p=0.061) was observed, suggesting the existence of outliers within the data. Further study is needed to examine and understand individual provider characteristics and practice habits, which may aid in determining more effective strategies leading to sustainable change in provider practice.

description: Understanding organizational success has been a constant concern for governments and businesses. All businesses struggle to achieve it, and even after brief periods of success, it often fades away. We asked the question, is there a reason behind the lack of sustainable organizational success? We found some surprisingly general principles that are not usually considered. This research paper investigates the novel general principle that organizational success is proportional to the amount of novel information regularly brought into an organization. This applies to governmental organizations and businesses alike. In addition, for governments, success is proportional to the enforcement of rules and regulations that enforce contracts, provide a legal system, and mitigate corruption. We found experiments, surveys, and observations in the literature that explain these findings. And we are including in this report our own personal observations that shed light on the issues. Because of the generality of the principles, this research is novel and of far-reaching significance, as it reveals general hidden factors that influence it. These hidden factors apply to companies large & small as well as entire nations.

description: Empathy is important for interpersonal communication, social emotion, and social cognitive abilities throughout the lifespan. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Empathy Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (EmQue-CA) in a sample of 472 Italian children and early adolescents aged 8–13 years. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a three-factor model with one item deleted from the original version. The reliability was acceptable. Measurement invariance was established across gender, age and time. Significant differences by gender and age groups were found. Moreover, empathy was positively correlated with prosocial behaviors and negatively correlated with internalizing and externalizing problems. These findings suggest that the EmQue-CA is a reliable and valid instrument among Italian children and early adolescents.

Οι περισσότεροι οδοντίατροι εργάζονται μόνοι τους, χωρίς τη βοήθεια νοσοκόμων. Με αφορμή τη συνθήκη αυτή, ήθελα να δημιουργήσω έναν βοηθό, όπου θα παίρνει τα εργαλεία από τον κλίβανο και θα τα ταξινομεί σε συγκεκριμένες θέσεις. Για την κατασκευή, βρέθηκε και επεξεργάστηκε τρισδιάστατο σχέδιο, το οποίο και εκτυπώθηκε στον τρισδιάστατο εκτυπωτή της σχολής. Αρχικά έγινε μια πρόχειρη εκτύπωση για να ελεγχθούν τα μεγέθη και οι αποστάσεις και στη συνέχεια προχωρήσαμε σε κανονική εκτύπωση (fine printing), όπου τα κομμάτια βγήκαν με λιγότερες ατέλειες. Μελετήθηκε ο βέλτιστος τρόπος λείανσης στην αρχική πρόχειρη εκτύπωση και στη συνέχεια η τεχνική που επιλέχθηκε, εφαρμόστηκε και στην κανονική εκτύπωση. Τα κομμάτια, λοιπόν, λειάνθηκαν και συναρμολογήθηκαν, ώστε να δημιουργηθεί ο σκελετός του βραχίονα. Σε αυτό το στάδιο μελετήθηκε και ο τρόπος που έγινε η λείανση και η στεγανοποίηση των τμημάτων του ρομποτικού βραχίονα, καθώς η βάση του θα ακουμπά στο τραπέζι του οδοντιάτρου και περιέχει ηλεκτρονικό κύκλωμα. Ακόμα, για να γίνει η κίνηση του βραχίονα, δημιουργήθηκε πρόγραμμα σε python για τον έλεγχο τεσσάρων σερβοκινητήρων, μέσω της πλακέτας Arduino uno. Για την ταξινόμηση των αντικειμένων χρησιμοποιείται κάμερα, η οποία καθοδηγεί τον βραχίονα, σύμφωνα με εικόνες των εργαλείων που λάβαμε πριν την ταξινόμηση. Η διαδικασία αυτή γίνεται πάντα κάτω από τις ίδιες συνθήκες φωτισμού, ώστε οι φωτογραφίες να λαμβάνονται πάντα με τον ίδιο τρόπο, χωρίς να θολώνει η εικόνα.

description: As the online shopping trend is finally catching on in the Arab world, many of the young Arab entrepreneurs are investing their efforts in online ventures. The findings of this research will provide an insight into the decision making process of the Arab consumers. It investigates the effect of privacy information on the consumers’ decisions; are consumers willing to pay more for privacy? and whether the Arab culture plays a role in that process. Throughout the literature, there has been shown a contradiction between reported attitudes and actual behaviors. Many factors contribute to create that contradiction, one of which is information asymmetry. This research investigates whether displaying the privacy information of websites bridges the asymmetry between the seller and the buyer, and results in informed decisions. In this study, we assume that participants are honest in their responses, notice all the information provided before making their decision, and have a sense for privacy. In addition, we assume that when a consumer is offered identical alternatives to buy from, they would purchase the cheapest because there is no motivation for paying more. Although we recognize that self reported behaviors are not actual behaviors, we were limited in that regard. Since the participants were asked to purchase culturally sensitive items, getting those items delivered to Qatar and to the participants would interfere with the participant’s answers. Most students share their mailing address with their parents and families, and receiving sensitive items would make the participants uncomfortable and therefore bias their answers to the study.

description: Since the discovery of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and the proven ability for this technique to detect molecules at trace level, numerous techniques have been reported for fabricating substrates that ensure reliable and reproducible SERS signal on its whole surface. In this paper we studied the capabilities and sensing performances of three commercial SERS substrates (RAM-SERS-SP from Ocean Optics, QSERS from Nanova Inc. and Hamamatsu from Hamamatsu Photonics) by using diluted solution of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) at two different excitation wavelengths (633 and 785 nm). Large datasets were obtained through Raman mappings collected randomly on different areas on the substrate surface. The averaged SERS signals for one specific vibrational band of the MBA were used to compare limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) and sensitivity of the three substrates. LOD and LOQ between 1 μM and 10 μM were calculated with a range of use of only one or two orders of magnitude. The best sensing performances were reached by the Hamamatsu substrate for an excitation wavelength of 633 nm.

description: There is a legend among linguists that anyone who undertakes work on the Hadza language is doomed to fail. Provoked by this bizarre story, this talk uses the “Hadza Curse” as an entry point for a critical intervention in the relationship between researchers and the Hadza people, between traditions of Hadza scholarship and epistemic violence, as well as between language work and the transformative work of allowing the Hadzabe people to valorise, speak for, and represent themselves. Very early on, it will be established that the “Hadza Curse” is due to factors external to the Hadza people, and is a myth. Attention will then duly turn from imagined threats faced by linguists, to the real violence faced by the Hadzabe people. The talk will assert that the end to violence against the Hadzabe people is rooted in changing how they are portrayed to outsiders, and especially through challenging existing research practices. Recent cases of language work with the Hadzabe people are given as examples of what some of these transformations can look like.

description: The effect of the World Wide Web is noticeable in organizations, businesses, societies, and individuals. When websites are evaluated, two important website qualities are examined, accessibility and usability. E‐accessibility is “a measure of the extent to which a product or service can be used by a person with a disability as effectively as it can be used by a person without that disability for purposes of accessing or using ICT related products or services” (Qatar’s e‐Accessibility Policy, 2011). Several studies have explored the accessibility status of websites and studied the effect of accessible websites on users, especially users with special needs. Many tools have been developed to automatically assess accessibility. It remains difficult to convince organizations to make their websites accessible. The author was motivated to explore if accessibility makes websites more usable. If such claim turns out to be true, it will become economically persuasive to convince website owners to invest in accessibility. I present a framework to study the impact of website accessibility on its usability through a five‐stage methodology. A total of seven tools were selected to be used to assess both accessibility and usability. Then, a framework was produced to act as a single tool for website usability measurement

description: Technology acceptance has been widely studied in information systems (Venkatesh et al., 2003) as several theories were developed explaining behavioral characteristics of individuals in accepting information technology. With the growth of globalization, technology is overcoming cultural barriers and is no longer isolated in usage and design. In the context of technology usage, technologies are developed to be used globally (Gregory et al., 2003). Studies have been conducted to explain how culture affects technology acceptance, but most of them are focused on an individual’s national culture. We were not able to find studies that link openness to other cultures — often referred as “cultural intelligence” (CQ) — to technology acceptance. This study explores the concept of cultural intelligence and its impact on technology acceptance. A survey consisting of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and the CQ scale is presented to explore the impact, if any, of CQ on technology acceptance.

description: The monastic liturgy of the Regula Benedicti was realized within two poles: the Divine Office and the Eucharist. The former grows out of the community itself and is constitutive of it, while the Eucharist is externally related to it. The understanding of the role of the abbot is not sacramental, but charismatic. The role of the abbot finds its value in a horizontal hierarchy, as first among equals. The liturgical-sacramental substratum realised in the Divine Office is that of baptism, which aims at the unity of liturgy and life in the sense of a “liturgical” lex vivendi or form of life in and from the liturgy.

description: Zinc deficient soils cause low crop production leading to malnutrition in humans and livestock. Two years field experiments were conducted on cowpea crop with six ZnSO4·H2O (33%) treatments viz. no Zn, soil application of 16 kg ZnSO4·H2O ha−1 (SZn), one foliar spray of 0.3% ZnSO4·H2O at early bloom (EB) stage (F1Zn), two foliar sprays of 0.3% ZnSO4·H2O at EB and full bloom (FB) stages (F2Zn) and combination of soil application + foliar sprays of ZnSO4.H2O (SZn+F1Zn and SZn+F2Zn) were tested. The results showed that soil application of 16 kg ha−1 of ZnSO4·H2O followed by two foliar sprays of 0.3% ZnSO4·H2O at EB (R1) and FB (R2) stages recorded maximum increase in grain yield (43.7%) and grain Zn content (22.7%) over control. However, in straw, a three-fold increase in Zn content was recorded. Foliar applications of 0.3% ZnSO4·H2O at EB and EB+FB stages recorded a significant increase in grain (8.2% and 11.4%) and straw Zn content (63.0% and 104.0%) over control. In conclusion, combination of soil (SZn) + foliar (F2Zn) Zn application method was most remunerative with maximum production and monetary efficiencies (15 kg ha−1 day−1 and $7.5 ha−1 day−1) and is an effective approach for grain and straw Zn biofortification in cowpea.

description: A novel biodegradable super absorbent polymer (SAP) was synthesized by γ-poly (glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) and poly (ethylene glycol) with the units of glycidyl ether as chain ends (PEGGE). The resultant γ-PGA SAPs with different PEGGE contents were characterized and their effects on soil total available water (TAW) were investigated. The γ-PGA SAP was synthesized at 45 °C for 48 h when γ-PGA was 160 g L−1 (pH = 4.9) and the minimum mass of PEGGE was 20% of the γ-PGA mass. When the PEGGE increased from 20% to 60%, the water absorption rate (WAR) of γ-PGA SAP in distilled water and 0.9% NaCl solution gradually decreased from 651.16 g g−1 to 302.91 g g−1 and from 44.83 g g−1 to 32.9 g g−1 respectively. The γ-PGA SAP with 40% PEGGE had the highest WAR after being reused six times. The field water capacity (FC) and TAW increased with the increasing γ-PGA SAP content; however, when the same amount of γ-PGA SAP was added to the soil, the FC and TAW in the soil gradually decreased with the increasing PEGGE in the γ-PGA SAP. The γ-PGA SAP with a proportion of 0.15% in the soil presented the largest soil WAR.

description: An electrical resistivity survey was conducted at different locations within Ayede Ekiti, Ekiti State, Southwestern Nigeria. This is aimed at evaluating groundwater potential zones and aquifer properties within the study area. Data were acquired at nine different locations using the vertical electrical sounding method by employing the Schlumberger array configuration. This study utilizes resistivity data processed with IPI2win software to analyse the subsurface geology of a basement complex region. The result of the study showed that qualitatively, three major curve types (A, AH, HA, and H) were observed. Varying curve types, predominantly A curves, were observed across the research area, with notable groundwater potential indicated by H and HA curve types at select points. Through curve matching techniques, three to four distinct geo-electric layers were identified, while the quantitative interpretation resulted in deducing layer parameters of the topsoil, which has apparent resistivity values ranging from 37.5 to 450 °C and 0.56 to 8.22 °C for the topsoil. The second geo-electric layer, the lateritic zone, has apparent resistivity values ranging from 24.2 to 1262 m and a thickness of 1.63 to 19.2m. While the weathered basement has a resistivity and thickness of 249 to 541 m and 10.5 to 34.7 m. The fresh basement resistivity ranges from 156 to 8547Ωm with infinity thickness. The weathered layer contributes to the aquifer. It was inferred that the VES 2, 3, and 6 regions are associated with high groundwater yield. The groundwater potential of VES 8 in the study area is inferred to be of moderate potential. However, VES 1, 4, 5, 7, and 9 are characterized by low groundwater potential. This research contributes valuable insights for geological mapping and groundwater resource assessment in complex basement terrains.

description: The prevalence of diabetes and obesity is significantly higher in patients diagnosed withschizophrenia than those without schizophrenia, and the increased risk of death is six-foldfor patients diagnosed with both schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus, compared to thoseonly with schizophrenia. Gender has been identified as a factor influencing schizophreniaand diabetes in various ways, but few previous scholars had addressed the effect ofpatients’ gender as a moderator to the healthcare costs associated with hospitalizationsrelated to schizophrenia and diabetes. This researcher performed quantitativecorrelational analysis using data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project toexplore the relationships between schizophrenia, diabetes, patients’ gender, and length ofhospital stay. The analyses revealed that patients’ gender is a significant moderator in twoinstances. Firstly, the effect of having schizophrenia on length of stay decreases fromfemale to male (β = -.068, p < 0.05). Secondly, the effect of having diabetes on length ofstay increases from female to male (β = .150, p < 0.05). There was no statistical evidencefound to conclude that gender is a significant moderator on the effect of bothschizophrenia and diabetes on the length of stay. The findings of the study expanded theliterature on the use of self-regulation theory, which posits that certain underlyingprocesses, cognitive and physical operation, and emotional repercussions may varybetween genders, in the context of patients of comorbid diseases specifically onschizophrenia and diabetes. The findings support the self-regulation theory in relation tothe claim that people differ in their basic abilities and styles of self-control, whichmanifest as different outcomes among individuals based on their levels of self-control,adherence, lifestyle choices, behavioral functions, and inherent practices. However, thefindings of this study only partial supports the moderating effect of gender betweencomorbid disease and length of stay which existed among patients with schizophrenia anddiabetes, but not with patients with both comorbid diseases. The conclusions could alsobe used by healthcare practitioners to develop specific interventions for reducinghealthcare costs and improving outcomes for this patient population by taking gender differencesinto consideration.

description: A data management plan (DMP) is a document or series of documents that describes how a project will address the various stages of the Data Lifecycle, from initial data collection to the creation and distribution of a final report or publication. A DMP should describe: 1) the types of data that will be collected or created, 2) how and where those data will be stored, 3) the various ways in which the data will be manipulated and 4) how the data and results will be distributed and preserved for long-term use. The information contained in a DMP may vary depending upon project requirements. To accommodate this potential variation, the Alaska Region Inventory and Monitoring Branch allows for flexibility when creating a DMP. The plan may be structured in any manner that provides the information required to properly manage project data. The DMP should contain information about data inputs, data transformation processes, custom software and scripts, project contacts, and data products.

description: This study analyzed 10 different types injuries and illnesses. Specifically, amputation of finger, burns 3rd degree of the hand, falls on same level, fracture of upper limbs, heat stress, laceration of the upper limbs, machine accidents, overexertion, sprains/strains, and struck by or against an object. The objective of the study is to discover if age, race, or gender factor in the hospitalization outcomes of the aforementioned injuries and illnesses. An additional objective is to explore whether region, day of incident (weekday or weekend), length of stay, social economics, and total medical charges in the presence of these specific work-related injuries and illnesses are impacting factors.Data was available by the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) sponsored by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research1. The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data in years 2007 through 2011 was assessed and downloaded from HCUP. A total of over 15 million patients aged 18-64 and who did not die when admitted to the hospital in the United States between years 2007 through 2011 (5 years). The data provided patient demographics such as: age, gender, race, insurance type, and income. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 was serviced to analyze the data of the study, and all outcomes with a p-value less than 0.05 were found to be significant. Frequencies and multiple linear regression were the appropriate statistical tests to determine the predictors of the study outcomes.White older aged males (31 to 64 years) have the highest frequency of injury and illness. The 76th to 100th percentile income level had the highest frequency of injury and illness. Majority of injuries and illnesses occurred in the South region. The regression model discovered that indicator of sex is they key variable in the amount of time spent in the hospital and the total amount of hospital charges. Falls from same level injury, had 70,226 patients, which is 49% of the total population of all 10 injuries and illnesses investigated. In addition, older aged White females (31 to 64 years) were the highest frequency of patients for falls from same level.Older White males in the 76th to 100th percentile income have the highest risk of injury and illness in the workplace. Preventative measures should improve work-related injuries and illnesses; especially for older ages, provide knowledge through specific training to prevent complacency and help workers to be more aware of risks associated with their age, gender, income, and job duties.

description: In the context of Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM), precise ego-vehicle positioning and environmental status assessment are crucial. However, these tasks can be susceptible to sensor failures, misuse, and cyberattacks. Automation disengagements and system redundancy are common strategies to achieve Minimum Risk Conditions when failures occur. This work presents a Fail-Safe decision architecture formulated within the framework of the SELFY project, which aims to increase AVs safety, security, robustness, and resilience.

description: Цель: выявить особенности эпидемического процесса коклюшной инфекции среди населения городов и районов Архангельской области. Использован метод ретроспективного эпидемиологического анализа заболеваемости коклюшем в Архангельской области. Сравнение средних показателей заболеваемости коклюшной инфекцией в возрастных группах с контрольными уровнями проводилось с помощью разницы показателей доли и отношения показателей. В качестве контрольного уровня при расчете групп риска среди детского населения использована средняя частота заболеваемости у детей до 17 лет включительно. Различия считались эпидемиологически выраженными, если доля разницы показателей превышала 20%, а отношение показателей было выше 1,25. Установлено, что в Архангельской области заболеваемость коклюшем в отдельные годы превышала общероссийскую заболеваемость в 1,4, 1,7 и 1,8 раза (2003, 2006 и 2007 годы соответственно), однако чаще всего показатели были значительно ниже и, начиная с 2008 года, не превышали спорадический уровень заболеваемости 5,0 на 100 тысяч населения. Тенденция к снижению заболеваемости наблюдается с 2007 года, в 2018 году показатель заболеваемости снизился практически в 6 раз и составил 2,0 на 100 тысяч населения. С 2011 года на территории области заболеваемость оставалась на уровне 1-2 случая на 100 тысяч населения, что в несколько раз ниже общероссийских показателей. В многолетней заболеваемости коклюшем отсутствуют выраженные подъемы и спады, а общее количество заболевших на протяжении 11 лет не превышало 100 человек. Возможно, стабилизации эпидемического процесса способствуют низкая плотность населения (1,93 на км2) и стабильно высокий своевременный охват прививками детей декретированных возрастов, который в Архангельской области превысил уровень 95% с 2003 года, составляя 97%. Полученные результаты позволяют отнести Архангельскую область к одному из благополучных регионов Российской федерации по заболеваемости коклюшной инфекцией.

description: Целью работы являлось получение статистически достоверных данных по дисфункции мышц тазового дна у женщин. Было проведено онлайн-анкетирование 10 730 женщин. Все участницы ответили на семь вопросов, связанных с наличием у них симптомов дисфункции мышц тазового дна, количеством родов в анамнезе, методом родоразрешения. Была установлена прямая связь между способом родоразрешения и явлениями подтекания мочи и симптомами релаксации влагалища. Однако способ родоразрешения не повлиял на проблему недержания кала и газов. Вне зависимости от количества проведенных кесаревых сечений количество женщин с жалобами на симптомы дисфункции мышц тазового дна возрастало с каждой последующей беременностью. Родоразрешение путем кесарева сечения достоверно снижало вероятность возникновения симптомов дисфункции мышц тазового дна только при первой беременности.
