Factors Associated with Glycemic Control Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes at Chittagong Medical College Hospital

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Glycemic control is the main therapeutic goal for the prevention of diabetes related complications. However, achieving optimal glycemic control on long term basis among patients with Type 2 diabetes remains challenging in developing countries like Bangladesh. The purpose of the study to determine the factors associated with glycemic control among patients with Type 2 diabetes at Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Chattogram, Bangladesh. Materials and methods: This cross sectional study included 120 patients with Type 2 diabetes aged 40-75 years who attended at Outpatient Department of Endocrinology, Chittagong Medical College Hospital between July 2020 to June 2021. Important variables in this study were socio-demographics, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, BMI, waist circumference, duration of DM, proteinuria and documented history of chronic complications. Patent’s HbA1c were categorized into good glycemic control <7% and poor glycemic control ³7%. Results: 84.2% of the patient’s had poor glycemic control. The mean (±SEM) BMI, waist circumference, SBP, DBP, HbA1c and FBG were significantly higher in patients with poor glycemic control. Majority of patients with poor glycemic control were female and ³60 years old. Patients with a history of higher BMI (65.3%), waist circumference (85.1%), 10 years of diabetes (33%), combination of OHA and insulin (42.6%) had poor glycemic control. There was no significant association with glycemic control and family history of diabetes, history of smoking, other socio-demographic variables. Patients without complications and proteinuria had significantly better glycemic control. Conclusion: The proportion of patients with poor glycemic control was high. Age, duration of diabetes, obesity, anti-diabetic agents and complications were associated with glycemic control. JCMCTA 2022 ; 33 (1) : 132-137
Rich unboxing experiences: complexity in product packaging and its influence upon product expectations

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

We explore the influence of complexity in packaging design, defined as complexity of action and transformation, upon product appraisal at an unboxing phase of product life cycle. Three packaging designs of different complexity were developed and prototyped. Participant responses were then gathered through ten bipolar semantic differential scales that measured the influence of packaging complexity upon expectation towards and appraisal of the packaged product. Results indicate how increased complexity of action and transformation evoked higher expectations of product quality. Complexity of product packaging was shown to significantly influence the participants' appraisal of the packaged product's personality. Findings contribute to an understanding of how complexity in product packaging implicates the user's affective response to the packaged product through increased expectation resulting in either heightened delight or increased dissatisfaction. Implications for the use of complexity of action and transformation in product packaging design are discussed.
[Gastric metastasis of breast cancer treated as primary gastric cancer due to difficulty in differentiating primary and metastatic cancer:a case report].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A female patient in her 50s who underwent chemotherapy for left primary breast cancer presented with cancerous pleurisy and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and liver biopsy revealed gastric and liver cancer. Distinguishing between primary and metastatic cancer by pathological findings is difficult using hematoxylin and eosin staining. We diagnosed and treated simultaneous primary breast cancer (ER-positive) and gastric cancer with liver metastasis (ER-negative), based on differences in estrogen receptor expression. The patient lived for 10 months with chemotherapy. After death, an autopsy was performed because the endoscopic results were atypical for primary gastric cancer, and additional immunohistochemical studies indicated gastric metastasis of breast cancer.
Densely-Populated Transceiver Surface Coil Array for the Human Brain Studies at 7T

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Transceiver surface coil arrays improve transmit performance and B1 homogeneity for head imaging up to 9.4T. Arrays with larger number of smaller elements further improve SNR and parallel imaging. Overlapping adjacent elements optimizes both the loading and the penetration depth, but complicates the decoupling. First, the adjacent coils generate substantial mutual resistance and cannot be decoupled using common methods, which compensate only for the mutual reactance. Second, in a densely-populated overlapped array, coupling exists between non-adjacent elements. We have developed a single-row (1x16) overlapped surface coil transceiver head array with decoupling of both the adjacent and the next-to-one neighboring elements.
First records of Paratymolus pubescens Miers, 1879 and Litosus sexspinosus (Miers, 1884) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Inachidae) from Korean waters

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Two inachid crabs, Paratymolus pubescens Miers, 1879 from Geomundo and Litosus sexspinosus (Miers, 1884) from Jeju Island, are briefly described here. The two species are unique representatives of their respective genera in local waters. Morphological and distributional accounts of these species are discussed.
Individual Cooling Systems Results and Quantified Performances Using all Objective Method

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The evaluation of individual thermal assistance equipment can be quantified through numerous parameters. However, to assert efficiency and interest for a military user under tropical climate, it is necessary to follow a quantifying method. This process of existing and prototyped measurements, based on simulations, with a dummy man and tests with voluntary subjects, using a scale of comparison. It has been clearly defined and used to evaluate of more as 10 systems, It allows to know the limits of each technology and the actual perspectives for equipment that are really suitable for the user. This original method based on operational ergonomic and technical criteria take into account weight, efficiency linked with the work load, infrared and sound signature, life as well as the logistic needed for the use of these different equipment. A complementary study of commercially available equipment, allows to compare and classify these equipment according to the same method. It allows the user to choose a suitable equipment to put eventually in service for overseas forces.
Gerontology in the R.T. curriculum.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This study was conducted to determine the extent to which students in U.S. radiologic technology educational programs are being prepared to provide diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for geriatric patients. A total of 442 programs in radiography, nuclear medicine technology, radiation therapy and diagnostic medical sonography were surveyed. Results indicate that most gerontology instruction is limited to modules or units within defined courses, rather than comprehensive gerontology courses related to professional practice. Respondents indicated a perceived need for additional gerontology content in the curricula.
P0997 The Rectal Stump during and after subtotal colectomy for Ulcerative Colitis: A scoping review of surgical strategies, medical management options and cancer surveillance recommendations

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background There are multiple decision nodes, during or after a subtotal colectomy for UC, regarding the management of the rectal stump. Intra-operatively, the retained stump may be closed intraperitoneally in the pelvis, secured at the subcutaneous tissue, or exteriorised as a mucous fistula. Post-operatively, microscopic evidence of proctitis is present in the majority of UC patients.Given the increased risk of cancer in UC, the presence of a retained rectal stump necessitates endoscopic surveillance. The aim of this scoping review was to summarise all available evidence on these 3 aspects of the management of the rectal stump in UC. Methods A scoping review of the literature was performed. Relevant studies were identified through a systematic search of Ovid Medline and Embase. Inclusion criteria were adult population and diagnosis of UC. Cohort studies, review articles and guidelines were eligible for inclusion. Articles were screened and reviewed by 2 independent reviewers and conflicts resolved by a 3rd reviewer. The references were grouped according to the subject of interest. Results Initial search returned 1267 studies, and after title and abstract screening and full-text screening, 93 studies were found eligible for inclusion in the review. Surgical management of the rectal stump at subtotal colectomy remains controversial. Intra-peritoneal closure has been shown to have higher pelvic sepsis rates, whereas subcutaneous placement results in higher rates of wound infections. A mucous fistula has been shown to have the lowest overall complication rate. Microscopic findings compatible with diversion proctitis develop in most patients, with incidence ranging from 71.4% to 100%. However, only a minority of these patients (30-40%) develop symptoms. Suggested treatments for diversion proctitis include topical mesalamine, corticosteroids or short-chain fatty acids. The overall risk of rectal stump neoplasia in patients with UC after subtotal colectomy is as low as 0.7% (2021 systematic review), with prior colorectal neoplasia being a major risk factor. No universal standardized guidance exists regarding endoscopic surveillance in this patient population. Conclusion This scoping review has appraised the latest evidence on 3 crucial stages of the management of the rectal stump in UC. There is still uncertainty about the optimal surgical management of the stump, with different complication profiles. Medical management of diversion proctitis remains a major unmet need, and there are no randomized trials addressing this issue. There are no universally accepted guidelines on endoscopic surveillance of the rectal stump.
Determinants of translating routine health information system data into action in Mozambique: a qualitative study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction Routine health information systems (RHISs) are an essential source of data to inform decisions and actions around health facility performance, but RHIS data use is often limited in low and middle-income country contexts. Determinants that influence RHIS data-informed decisions and actions are not well understood, and few studies have explored the relationship between RHIS data-informed decisions and actions. Methods This qualitative thematic analysis study explored the determinants and characteristics of successful RHIS data-informed actions at the health facility level in Mozambique and which determinants were influenced by the Integrated District Evidence to Action (IDEAs) strategy. Two rounds of qualitative data were collected in 2019 and 2020 through 27 in-depth interviews and 7 focus group discussions with provincial, district and health facility-level managers and frontline health workers who participated in the IDEAs enhanced audit and feedback strategy. The Performance of Routine Information System Management-Act framework guided the development of the data collection tools and thematic analysis. Results Key behavioural determinants of translating RHIS data into action included health worker understanding and awareness of health facility performance indicators coupled with health worker sense of ownership and responsibility to improve health facility performance. Supervision, on-the-job support and availability of financial and human resources were highlighted as essential organisational determinants in the development and implementation of action plans. The forum to regularly meet as a group to review, discuss and monitor health facility performance was emphasised as a critical determinant by study participants. Conclusion Future data-to-action interventions and research should consider contextually feasible ways to support health facility and district managers to hold regular meetings to review, discuss and monitor health facility performance as a way to promote translation of RHIS data to action.
Religious Organisations in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This book explores the links between religion, states, social welfare and social change in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Building on the author's previous analysis of how religious beliefs, practices and values influence social behaviour and relationships, especially within families, this book focuses on the organisational characteristics of religions and societies. The book considers how Muslim, Christian, Hindu and Buddhist organisations working in different contexts express the religious values of charity and compassion in practical activities to improve social welfare. Drawing on extensive empirical research, the book maps the organisations involved, identifying the factors that explain their choice of activities, sources of funding and modes of organisation, and highlighting similarities and differences between the religious traditions. It considers the involvement of religious actors in school-level education, as well as in international humanitarian relief and reconstruction, and addresses the claim that religious organisations have distinctive features that give them comparative advantages. Finally, the book reviews research on the roles of religious values and organisations in resisting or promoting social change, focusing on women's movements, especially their campaigns for changes in family law, and the quest for social and legal recognition for sexual and gender minorities. The book's wide coverage of two subcontinents in the Global South and several important religious traditions will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of sociology, international development, religious studies, anthropology and area studies, as well as to those engaged in policy and action who are looking to improve their understanding of the complex social, cultural, political and religious contexts in which they work.
SH1485913.08FU

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
ON THE LATE-MESOZOIC GRANITIC ROCKS OF THE FUCHU DISTRICT, HIROSHIMA PREFECTURE

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

In the central part of Chugoku Province, several types of granitic rocks, presumably of Late-Mesozoic are widely distributed. The granitic rocks in the Fuchu District have been hitherto divided into two types, namely, the Hiroshima granitic complex and the Central plutonic complex. Furthermore, the granites belonging to the latter have been divided into three groups; those of the older, the younger, and the unknown ages. Detailed classification and the relationship among these granitic rocks in the Fuchu District have been left unsolved. From the standpoint of petrographical features such as color of potash-feldspar, volume ratio of minerals, chemical composition and occurrence of xenoliths and dyke rocks, granitic rocks of the district can be divided into four types of complex as follows: (1) Mannari type (2) Ashida type (3) Hirotani type (4) Mikawa type The Mannari type granite belongs to the Central plutonic complex, and the other types to the Hiroshima granitic complex according to the current classification. The Ashida and the Mikawa type granites can be divided into those of coarse, medium, and fine grained ones and the Mannari type granite into coarse and fine members. The Mannari type granite has been intruded by the Mikawa and Ashida type. From the field evidences, the Ashida, the Hirotani, and the Mikawa types are considered to be nearly of the same age. Therefore, the Mannari tvpe granite is thought to be the oldest among these four types.
Digital Health Literacy amongst Hypertensive Clients in Depok City

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The still-growing of e-health integration in Depok City's hypertension prevention and control initiatives is at odds with the city's development goal for 2021–2026, which calls for the creation of contemporary public services and the development of technology–based infrastructure. This study aims to identify the digital health literacy in hypertensive clients in Depok City. With the greatest estimated population of hypertensive clients in Depok City, the research approach is a descriptive study using the I-eHEALS questionnaire with cluster sampling technique on hypertensive clients in five urban villages, with up to 100 samples. The findings revealed that most Depok City's hypertensive clients were young adults (64%), female (72%), with a secondary education level of 59% (junior high school, high school, or equivalent), and 25% of them used YouTube as a source of digital health information. Furthermore, it is also reported that hypertensive clients in Depok City have a digital health literacy level of 26. The study's findings indicate that hypertensive clients in Depok City tend to be more digitally literate when they are young adults, female, have higher levels of education, and use online health applications as a source of information about digital health. However, these clients still struggle to assess, evaluate, and feel confident when using digital health information. The researcher suggests fostering digital health literacy and creating digital health resources with an emphasis on hypertension patients' self-care management.
Baseline Susceptibility of European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) to Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Susceptibility to CrylAb and CrylAc toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis was determined for 11 populations of neonate European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hiibner), from the United States and 1 from northern Italy. Corn borer larvae were exposed to artificial diet treated with increasing B. thuringiensis concentrations, and mortality and growth inhibition were evaluated after 7 d. The range of variation in B. thuringiensis susceptibility indicated by growth inhibition was very similar to that indicated by mortality. Although interpopulation variation in susceptibility to both proteins was observed, the magnitude of the differences was small (54-fold) and comparable to the variability observed among generations within a particular population (53-fold). Additionally, there was no indication that B. thuringiensis susceptibility was influenced by pheromone race, voltine ecotype, or geographic location. These results suggest that the observed susceptibility differences reflect natural variation in B. thuringiemis susceptibility among corn borer populations rather than variation caused by prior exposure to selection pressures. Therefore, European corn borers apparently are susceptible to B. thuringiensis toxins among populations across most of their geographic range.
The New Courage: An Essay on Gandhi's Psychology

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In an era that takes matters of religious faith lightly, it becomes difficult to consider thoughtfully a man who is suspected of saintliness. The task is particularly vexing for Americans, who have no feudal historic memories to remind them that saints were once important people. The obvious solution is to avoid the issue of saintliness altogether—to avoid, for example, questions about whether Gandhi's political shrewdness was compatible with the essential innocence of heart that one asks of saints; above all, to avoid trying to satisfy a generation of ambivalent skeptics who in one breath deny that saints exist and in the next maintain that Gandhi could not have been one because he did not meet such and such criterion of saintliness. The issue of saintliness is a diversion from a serious consideration of Gandhi's contribution.
The Effect of Social Media Marketing on Consumer Behavior in the Georgian Tourism Industry

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study aims to examine consumer behavior regarding the use of social media in the Georgian tourism sector. The article examines the specifics of social media use in the tourism sector. It has been shown that social media is actively used in the business sector in Georgia, however, the impact of social media marketing activities on the behavior of tourism consumers has been poorly studied. As a result of analyzing a variety of literature, research hypotheses and a conceptual model of the research have been formulated. The paper uses a quantitative research method. The variables and measurement items in this study are formed from relevant literature based on a deductive approach. The questionnaire survey method was used for the study. Data were collected through random sampling of consumers. Correlation and regression analysis methods are used to process the collected data. This study found a positive relationship between awareness of social media marketing activities, the quality of information posted on social media, and trust in information posted on social media on tourists’ attitudes towards such information. Furthermore, a positive attitude has also been established between tourists’ attitudes towards information posted on social media and tourists’ satisfaction with said information. This original study contributes to the development of literature in the field of tourism marketing. Its value stems from its potential to enhance the understanding of social media’s application as a marketing communication tool within the tourism industry. The results obtained will be useful for tourism organizations that plan to expand their activities using social media marketing.
Multi-scale Block Weber Local Descriptor for Face Recognition

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we provide a novel local descriptor Multi-scale Block Weber Local Descriptor (MBWLD) for face recognition.It is a LBP-based descriptor which combines MBLBP with WLD for integrating both their advantages.Firstly, Multi-scale block filters is used on the face image to calculate the average gray-values of sub-regions.Secondly, differential excitation and orientation of WLD is extracted using the average neighbors and center.MBWLD extracts both the micro and macro patterns from face image, and becomes more descriptive and robust to face representation.The feasibility and availability are validated by comparing with the standard LBP, MBLBP and WLD on FERET database in expression, illumination and age changes.The experimental result shows that, MBWLD is appropriate for face recognition, and the recognition performance is much well improved especially in illumination and age changes.
