Leveraging electronic medical record-embedded standardised electroencephalogram reporting to develop neonatal seizure prediction models: a retrospective cohort study.

Accurate prediction of seizures can help to direct resource-intense continuous electroencephalogram (CEEG) monitoring to neonates at high risk of seizures. We aimed to use data from standardised EEG reports to generate seizure prediction models for vulnerable neonates. In this retrospective cohort study, we included neonates who underwent CEEG during the first 30 days of life at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (Philadelphia, PA, USA). The hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy subgroup included only patients with CEEG data during the first 5 days of life, International Classification of Diseases, revision 10, codes for hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy, and documented therapeutic hypothermia. In January, 2018, we implemented a novel CEEG reporting system within the electronic medical record (EMR) using common data elements that incorporated standardised terminology. All neonatal CEEG data from Jan 10, 2018, to Feb 15, 2022, were extracted from the EMR using age at the time of CEEG. We developed logistic regression, decision tree, and random forest models of neonatal seizure prediction using EEG features on day 1 to predict seizures on future days. We evaluated 1117 neonates, including 150 neonates with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy, with CEEG data reported using standardised templates between Jan 10, 2018, and Feb 15, 2022. Implementation of a consistent EEG reporting system that documents discrete and standardised EEG variables resulted in more than 95% reporting of key EEG features. Several EEG features were highly correlated, and patients could be clustered on the basis of specific features. However, no simple combination of features adequately predicted seizure risk. We therefore applied computational models to complement clinical identification of neonates at high risk of seizures. Random forest models incorporating background features performed with classification accuracies of up to 90% (95% CI 83-94) for all neonates and 97% (88-99) for neonates with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy; recall (sensitivity) of up to 97% (91-100) for all neonates and 100% (100-100) for neonates with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy; and precision (positive predictive value) of up to 92% (84-96) in the overall cohort and 97% (80-99) in neonates with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy. Using data extracted from the standardised EEG report on the first day of CEEG, we predict the presence or absence of neonatal seizures on subsequent days with classification performances of more than 90%. This information, incorporated into routine care, could guide decisions about the necessity of continuing EEG monitoring beyond the first day, thereby improving the allocation of limited CEEG resources. Additionally, this analysis shows the benefits of standardised clinical data collection, which can drive learning health system approaches to personalised CEEG use.

Financial Legal Relationship: Identification of the Branch Affiliation

The article actualizes the relations that make up the subject of financial law. It is emphasized that the modern criteria for identifying these relations are not incoming, independent of previously formed theoretical views on these relations. The fundamental characteristics of the financial legal relationship, formulated in the 60s of the last century, are noted. The identifying features of the financial legal relationship recognized in science after the adoption of the Constitution of 1993 are indicated. The same signs somewhat changed after 2008, when the solution of public tasks began to be transferred to the level of non-state monetary funds. In modern conditions, financial legal relations, in connection with a change in the subject of financial law, are dual i.e., include property and related non-property relations in the field of public finance. Each group of financial legal relations is identified as belonging to such, on the basis of specific features that taken together make up an identification algorithm. The features of the identification of each group of financial legal relations are emphasized. Meanwhile, it is emphasized that non-property public legal relations should not be attributed to financial and legal relations, unless their derivativeness from the property financial legal relationship is proved. Similarly, it is concluded that a property financial relationship cannot be identified as such simply because it mediates finances. A systematic analysis of this legal relationship for the presence of all identifying features taken together is important.

Unstable lateral femoral fractures: elements predictable of failure

Objective. Lateral femoral fractures are common events, especially in old frail patients. They can be stable or unstable on the basis of specific features. Optimal treatment requires preoperative evaluation of the fracture pattern and appropriate choice of implant and surgical technique. The aim of this study was to detect variables related to fixation failure in unstable lateral femoral fracture. Methods. We retrospectively evaluated 136 patients treated with intramedullary proximal femur nail (PFN) between January 2016 and December 2017 at our hospital. All fractures were classified according to the AO/OTA classification; the type and length of nail, nail collodiaphyseal angle, type of distal locking and use of steel wire cerclage were recorded. These variables were statistically analysed to evaluate any correlation with the onset of complications, i.e., biological and/or mechanical failure. Results. At the first follow-up at three months, we found 13 failures (9.6%). At 6 months, 38 patients were lost to follow-up and we identified 3 failures as pseudoartrosis. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between the type of fracture and failure. No significant differences were detected for the other parameters. Conclusions. When treating a lateral unstable femoral fracture with proximal femoral nail, the only variable significantly related to failure seems to be the fracture pattern. Thorough knowledge of the implant still remains essential to obtain a good result.

Investment aspects of event tourism development: national and regional dimension

The aim of the article is to formulate the investment aspects of event tourism development in national and regional areas. Methodology. In the research general science methods such as generalization and comparison were used. It was made for analyzing scientists’ views in connection with event tourism. Results. In the article theoretical essence of event tourism was analyzed. Also interrelation between event tourism and event management including a complex of actions such as planning, organization, control and realization of different events and activities for the purpose of popularization of the specific event and territory was highlighted. The basic specific features of event tourism were identified. The necessity of establishing a system of constant monitoring of the situation and introduction of measures to form preconditions for reducing the negative factors influence were substantiated. The value of market research connected with the changes in geospatial vectors of tourist flows to respond quickly to customers’ needs and in order to meet an effective consumer demand, the development of strategic measures to restore and evolve tourism were justified. Practical meaning. It is determined that event tourism is an important element of the tourism services structure. The novelties always have the biggest demand in every area of human activity. Accordingly, event tourism can become the main feature of the region. It can provide a regular tourists flow and it means higher income, which fixes the base of its social and economic development. It was underlined that the main condition of the domestic tourism development in Ukraine is the creation of a favorable investment climate and transparent legislation. It was defined that nowadays Ukrainian tourist market is too chaotic. Because of the disorder of tourist market tour operators, hotels and tourists have many problems. They include invalid licenses, imperfect categorization of accommodation facilities, unsystematic activities of travel agencies and guides. It is necessary to install clear and easy working rules in order to act effectively in the tourist market. Prospects for further research. It is proved that the formation of effective legislation with changes in relevant laws has to become the basis for event tourism development in the country and the regions. And only after that it is possible to speak about infrastructure development and investment attraction to this sector of economy. It is necessary to form new tourist products in the regions. Only in one complex all these points will become the base of tourist territories development on the condition that local businesses and communities will be involved.

SPECIAL APPROACHES TO ALLOCATION OF TYPES OF SERVITUDES FROM THE ACCOUNTING POSITIONS

Articulation of issues. A number of bases, positions, which previously were recognized as the only correct and irrefutable, served as the foundation of legal regulation of civil relations. But now they do not fully correspond to modern tendencies in the development of civil law science. That is why, today, it should be mentioned about the formation of a new doctrine, which can meet the requirements of the formation and development of the rule-of-law state. In such conditions, it is obvious that the scientific and theoretical study of individual approaches to the allocation of types of servitudes from the standpoint of accounting will contribute to the improvement of civil-law relations, to the formation of a clear and coherent system. At the same time, the variety of scientific views about types of way-leaves constantly encourages the implementation and improvement of scientific research in the field of property rights for someone else’s property. In this context, the issue of the implementation of contractual, inheritance, and land relations for servitudes becomes very important and necessary. Also, another important question is: Are specific legislative approaches to allocation of servitudes on the basis of specific features fixed in legislation or not? Has the legislator stopped only on land and personal servitude? The aim of the article is to study the theoretical and legal possibilities and approaches to the allocation of way-leaves on the basis of specific features from the standpoint of accounting and jurisprudence. Also, another aim is to attract the attention of legal scholars to possible further scientific researches on the introduction of this phenomenon in modern civil legislation of Ukraine. The subject of the study is the individual approaches to the allocation of types of servitudes from the standpoint of accounting. Methodology. The research is based on the analysis of legal acts, which are connected with legal regulation of way-leave relations in Ukraine. On the basis of the comparative legal method of investigation of certain provisions of Ukrainian legislation, the possibilities and limits of the use of types of servitudes in contractual hereditary and land relations are determined. Results of this study have shown that special approaches to the allocation of way-leaves on the basis of specific features in Ukraine are in a real legal vacuum. Such a conclusion is based on the lack of legislative clarification and consolidation of other types of servitudes, which are not connected with the material component. Thus, property rights under the Tax Code of Ukraine are intangible assets, and the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine consolidate the material constituent of real rights to someone else’s property. From the standpoint of accounting, we can talk about the presence of intangible servitudes that are associated with the recognition and accounting of intangible assets. If this gap will be solved, then we can talk about the revision of the characteristics of way-leaves, relying on the positions of other branches of law. Practical impact. The idea that certain positions of intangible servitude are contained in national law is rather necessary and expedient. So, we can talk about corporate rights as a person’s rights, the share of which is determined in the statutory fund (property) of a business organization. These rights include the competence to participate in the management of a business entity, obtaining a certain percentage of profits (dividends) of this organization and assets in case of liquidation of it in accordance with the law, as well as other powers provided by law and statutory documents and, for example, the rights to use websites, or aspects of commercial secrecy. Correlation/originality. An analysis of the possible use of other types of way-leaves than those, which are enshrined in civil law in contractual, inheritance, land relations can become the basis for developing the most promising directions for the development of domestic civil law in this area and improving the civil law doctrine.

Design and Drilling of Well Mashen 1

Well Mashen 1 is an ultra-deep well drilled in the Sichuan Basin. Drilling of the well was characterized by difficulties in borehole quality control,ROP enhancement,coexistence of lost circulation and blowout,maintenance of desirable performances of drilling fluids and cement slurries,and quality control in cementing operations. Under such circumstances,a casing program involving conductor plus five spud-in intervals had been designed on the basis of specific features and risks of target formations,together with safety of drilling operations,quality,efficiencies,economic performances and other factors. According to the design,KCl polyamine sulfonation anti-sloughing drilling fluid and latex anti-gas channeling cement slurry system were to be used. In practice,gas drilling,foam drilling,PDM drill plus PDC bitcomposite drilling techniques,turbo drill plus diamond-impregnated bit,RSS plus PDC bit and other techniques had been deployed to enhance ROP. Drilling processes of the well were satisfactory with significant enhancement in ROPs. Generally speaking,the engineering design for the Well Mashen 1 was rational and all techniques adopted were satisfactory and could effectively remove drilling technical challenges.

Current status of research of continuous detonation in fuel-air mixtures (Review)

The current status of experimental research of continuous detonation of fuel-air mixtures in flow-type annular combustors is described. Experimental data for C2H2-air, H2-air, and CO/H2-air mixtures are analyzed, systematized, and generalized. Basic specific features of continuous spin detonation and the influence of geometric parameters of flow-type combustors are described. The effect of physical and chemical parameters on the domain of continuous detonation formation is analyzed. It is concluded that the fundamental knowledge of continuous detonation processes in hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels gained up to now allows one to consider the possibility of using them in air-breathing detonation engines.

Core-shell nanoparticles forming in the ZrO2-Gd2O3-H2O system under hydrothermal conditions

On the basis of specific features of the unit cell parameters of nanocrystals of variable composition synthesized via hydrothermal route, formation of crystalline core–amorphous shell nanoparticles has been suggested [1, 2]. The present work deals with combined study of the structure of nanoparticles of variable composition forming in the ZrO 2 –Gd 2 O 3 – H2 O system. This study has revealed that hydrother� mal treatment of coprecipitated zirconium and gado� linium hydroxides can result in formation of compos� ite core–shell nanoparticles. Nanoparticles with a fluorite structure were obtained by hydrothermal dehydration of hydroxides jointly precipitated from the ZrO2–Gd2O3 system in a wide range of component ratios as described in [3]. Hydrothermal treatment was carried out at 400°С and ≈70 MPa for 4 h. Distilled water was used as a hydro� thermal fluid. The elemental composition of the samples was )

Fault Diagnosis in Dynamic Systems Using Fuzzy Interacting Observers

A method of fault diagnosis in dynamic systems based on a fuzzy approach is proposed. The new method possesses two basic specific features which distinguish it from the other known fuzzy methods based on the application of fuzzy logic and a bank of state observers. First, this method uses a bank of interacting observers instead of traditional independent observers. The second specific feature of the proposed method is the assumption that there is no strict boundary between the serviceable and disabled technical states of the system, which makes it possible to specify a decision making rule for fault diagnosis.

Another decade of social scientific work on sex work: a review of research 1990-2000.

The international, psychological and sociological research literature on prostitution from 1990 through 2000 is reviewed. The stage is set by scanning topics and perspectives in earlier writings. Then the research is discussed under the following headings: (a) HIV related research (HIV prevalence studies, factors in condom use, and prevention program evaluation); (b) workers' background and motivational issues (early victimization and connected factors, economic motives and connected factors); (c) work related issues (working routines, risks and stresses, and managing risk, work and identity); (d) research on clients, and (e) issues related to social and legal status. The literature is still much more about sex than it is about work. In addition, although an increasing number of authors have criticized the dominance of a deviance perspective over work perspectives on prostitution, the literature still reveals many features of stigmatization. For instance, the wrongs associated with sex work are all too often attributed to the nature of sex work itself instead of to the stigma attached to it or to specific negative circumstances. Likewise, the association between prostitution and negative features (in particular HIV and early victimization) is overwhelming, despite evidence that, for large groups of sex workers, these issues are of limited relevance. Generally, writers fail to adequately differentiate among types of sex workers. In particular, in relation to issues of health and well-being, differentiation among sex workers on the basis of specific features of their working situation (e.g., contexts, routines, relations, conditions) has hardly been studied and is recommended for the future.

Community Supported Agriculture in the Urban Fringe: Empirical Evidence for Project Feasibility in the Metropolitan Area of Naples (Italy)

Urbanisation of city-side areas effects on farm land use and organisation are analysed in this study with the objective of seeking the most effective way to implement a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) scheme. Specifically, we used a theoretical framework to describe and assess the relationships between urbanization and farm-styles in the city belt. Our analysis is based on a case study in the protected area of the Campi Flegrei Regional Park situated in the north-western part of the Neapolitan metropolitan area, which is a peri-urban rural area with severe environmental management problems. Our results from the empirical analysis allowed us to distinguish the farms of the area into three behavioural-social groups on the basis of specific features, in order to identify the best suited type of farm for the strategic implementation of the CSA. A market scenario was predicted for each of them without any intervention

Identification of pectinate structures in images of blood serum facias

An algorithm for identification of pectinate structures in the images of blood serum facias was suggested. Identification was carried out on the basis of specific features of these structures. The algorithm showed high efficiency on real images and can be recommended for medical computer diagnostics.

Functional diagnostics of dynamic systems using fuzzy rules for fault analysis and decision making

A method of functional diagnostics of dynamic systems based on fuzzy approach is proposed; this method possesses two basic specific features differing it from other known fuzzy methods based on application of fuzzy logics and state observer data base. First, this method uses the data base of interacting observers, while traditionally independent observers are used. The second specific feature of the proposed method is that it presumes the absence of a strict boundary between the serviceable and disabled technical states of the system. This makes it possible to specify the decision making rule in fault diagnosis.

X-ray diffraction methods for the evaluation of residual stresses in the surface layers with gradient structure

We propose an X-ray diffraction method aimed at measuring residual stresses in the surface layers characterized by variable chemical compositions over the depth of the layer. The method is based on measuring the interplane distances for different diffraction reflexes with separation of the contributions of elastic stresses and the composition of a solid solution to these distances on the basis of specific features of the elastic anisotropy of the crystal lattices of metals with cubic and hexagonal structures. The efficiency of the proposed procedure is demonstrated by analyzing, as an example, EI961 and 12Kh18N10T steels, PT7M titanium alloy after ionic nitriding, and EP975ID nickel superalloy treated by electroerosion cutting.

ANALYSIS OF THE VARIABILITY OF THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THE WATER IN THE BLACK SEA IN SUMMER 1998 ACCORDING TO THE DATA OF A SEAWIFS SATELLITE INSTRUMENT

We study examples of surveys of the Black Sea performed with the help of a SeaWiFS satellite instrument. It is shown that the results of measurements carried out in spectral channels of 510 and 555 nm give information on the basic specific features of the space and time variability of the characteristics of absorption and scattering of light in seawater. The use of a spectral channel of 412 nm is inefficient due to the low reliability of the results of the procedure of atmospheric correction performed according to standard algorithms. The results of model calculations demonstrate that the predominant contribution to the absorption of light in the Black Sea in summer is made by the yellow substance.
