ADHERENCE TO THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH CARDIOVASCULAR RISK

Introduction. Recommendations for the use of the Mediterranean diet apply to many nosologies, which made it expedient to consider the principles of such nutrition and adherence to it for patients with high cardiovascular risk. Objectives. In order to evaluate the nature of the diet of patients with high cardiovascular risk and their adherence to the Mediterranean diet, the principles of the diet were described according to the data from the Pubmed database. Adherence to and compliance with the principles of Mediterranean diet in patients with high cardiovascular risk were determined according to the Food Questionnaire in 29 outpatients with stable chronic forms of coronary heart disease and arterial hypertension: 18 men, 11 women aged 55.72±2.59 years with excessive body weight; the results were processed by the methods of variational statistics. Results. The Mediterranean diet is recommended for patients with high cardiovascular risk, excess body weight, steatotic liver disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, autoimmune changes in the thyroid gland, dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and oncological processes. It is based on grains, cereals, vegetables and fruits, beans, nuts, and seeds; a small amount of meat, eggs, fish, and poultry; olive oil and moderate daily consumption of cheeses and yogurts. According to the Food Questionnaire, patients with a high cardiovascular risk are not sufficiently aware of the principles of this diet, do not fully follow the recommendations for replacing fats with extra virgin olive oil, do not consume enough fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grain pasta and hard cereals. In addition, they tend to consume meat, soft cereals, ordinary types of bread and pasta, sweets, carbonated beverages, beer, and spirits in excessive amounts or too often. Conclusions. Insufficient awareness and non-adherence to the Mediterranean diet require the activation of educational work to deepen knowledge about its principles and details.

Nurses' Personality Traits and Perceived Work Environments During Public Health Emergencies: Implications for Nursing Workforce Planning.

The nursing workforce faces substantial challenges, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 era. Developing an effective strategy for workforce maintenance and the strategic deployment of nurses is crucial. This study aimed to explore and categorize nurses' personality traits, with a focus on analyzing differences in their perceptions of the nursing work environment. Between January 2023 and February 2023, a multi-center cross-sectional study was carried out involving nurses from 12 tertiary hospitals actively engaged in frontline COVID-19 response duties. Through cluster sampling, surveys were distributed among eligible nursing staff, comprising a general information questionnaire, the Chinese Big Five Personality Questionnaire-Short Form, subjective evaluations of emergency nursing management, and the Chinese Nursing Work Environment Scale for Public Health Emergencies. Various statistical analyses, such as descriptive analysis, cluster analysis, non-parametric tests, and general linear model analysis, were employed to investigate the correlation between personality types and the perception of nursing work environments. The analysis encompassed 1059 valid questionnaires, reflecting the experiences of frontline nurses. The majority of these nurses possessed 1-5 years of experience, held junior professional titles, volunteered for their roles, and served as attending nurses. Categorization based on personality traits revealed three groups: resilient (35.60%), ordinary (16.15%), and distressed (48.25%) types. Significantly distinct perceptions of nursing work environments emerged among these categories, with resilient and ordinary types expressing notably higher satisfaction compared to the distressed group (H value = 256.487, p < 0.001). This study illustrates the connection between nurses' perceived working environment and their personality traits. Nursing managers should factor in nurses' personality traits when choosing and deploying frontline responders during public health emergencies. Prioritizing resilient-type nurses and crafting a supportive work environment that aligns with nurses' characteristics is indispensable for an effective emergency response.

Heat transfer and entropy generation on mixed convection hydromagnetic slip-flow in a channel filled with porous medium: Adomian decomposition approach

This study analyses the heat transfer and entropy generation on mixed convection hydromagnetic fluid flow in a permeable parallel wall vertical channel; filled with an optically thick and electrically conducting liquid permeated by a uniform transverse magnetic field. The study considers the nonlinearity in thermal radiation, the irregular thermal heat produced/consumed, and the slipperiness and mass flux at the walls. The nonlinear coupled governing partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary dimensionless types. The Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is applied to solve the emerging boundary value problem. Comparisons are made for some basic emergent scientific parameters using the evaluated values of the velocity and temperature profiles for ADM and numerical algorithm (RKF 4-5) in the Maple, and the results are impressive. Entropy generation numbers are computed through the Bejan formulation. The results are presented for the velocity, temperature and entropy generation profiles and discussed quantitatively. Amongst others, it is perceived that velocity increases with heat generation and suction-based parameters while entropy generation surges consequentially to the improved Grashof and Darcy numbers in the entirety of the flow regime. This study finds applications in modern engineering systems for energy loss control, frequently encountered in the manufacturing, nuclear energy and processing industries.

Comparing the Determinants of Worldwide Homicide and Terrorism

Over the past two decades, the study of terrorism has been increasingly integrated into mainstream criminology. Like other types of criminal behavior, terrorism can be divided into etiology (an emphasis on “breaking laws”) and criminal justice (an emphasis on “making laws” and “reacting toward the breaking of laws”). Moreover, like the study of crime, the study of terrorism is inherently multidisciplinary. Nevertheless, terrorism differs from more common forms of crime in fundamental ways: Terrorist perpetrators, unlike common criminals, rarely see themselves as criminal, often seek rather than eschew publicity, and often have broader political goals. Despite similarities and differences, we could identify little prior research that has directly compared the determinants of terrorism and more ordinary types of crime. In this article, we create large cross-national datasets on homicides and terrorist attacks and then compare the effects of a set of common economic, political, and social variables on each. We find a good deal of similarity in the determinants of the two types of violence. Both homicide and terrorism are more common in countries with high GDP, high percent urban, high ethnic fractionalization, and in countries moving toward democratization. Both homicide and terrorism are low in countries experiencing high globalization. Although homicides are more common in countries experiencing high levels of inequality and poverty, neither of these two variables is significantly associated with terrorist attacks. We discuss the implications of the findings for theory, policy, and future research.

РОЛЬ СОЦІАЛЬНОГО ПІДПРИЄМНИЦТВА У ВИРІШЕННІ ПРОБЛЕМИ МОЛОДІЖНОГО БЕЗРОБІТТЯ

The research is devoted to one of the critical problems of the employment of the population of Ukraine today, namely the problem of youth unemployment, which became even more acute during the martial law. An analysis of the indicators characterizing the employment of Ukraine’s youth and their quantitative and qualitative characteristics was carried out, thanks to which we can ascertain the high level of youth unemployment. The specifics of the youth’s age-specific socio-psychological and qualification features as the most unprepared for the current complex state of the labor market and one of the most vulnerable parts of the workforce in Ukraine are described. Official statistical data on youth unemployment are presented, and a comparative analysis of youth unemployment during martial law is made. The results of sociological research on the entrepreneurial orientations of modern youth were analyzed, and the desire of most young people to start their own businesses was emphasized. The problems that arise when opening a business for young people are considered, namely, the need for own funds and opportunities for obtaining a loan, as well as the sufficiency of work experience in the relevant field. The possibility of improving the employment situation of Ukrainian youth is considered, in particular, based on the development of youth entrepreneurship and the use of an innovative business model such as social entrepreneurship. The features of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine and the current state of its development are defined and considered. The advantages and opportunities that social entrepreneurship opens for modern youth to realize their business ideas and overcome youth unemployment in the domestic labor market have been established. Information is provided on the possibilities of self-information about social entrepreneurship, and the main differences between social entrepreneurship and ordinary types of economic activity are indicated.

Vulnerability and Seismic Exposure of Residential Building Stock in the Historic Center of Alcamo

The influence of exposure evaluation methodology in the assessment of the seismic vulnerability of the residential building stock in the historic center of Alcamo, a town of 45,000 inhabitants in Western Sicily (Italy), hit by an earthquake in 1968, is evaluated in this study. A comparison of exposure estimates on the basis of the description of the residential building stock according to two different approaches is performed. The first, typical of seismic vulnerability assessment procedures at a territorial scale, refers to the description of residential building stock through an accurate typological description, conducted using the CARTIS survey form. The form allows for a detailed description and survey of the prevailing ordinary building types within areas characterized by the homogeneity of the building fabric in terms of age of construction, structural characteristics, construction techniques, and distribution of types. The detailed description of building types allows for the assessment of exposure at the municipal scale based on an estimate of the total number of units and the percentage of each type within each compartment, obtained by interviewing local technicians. The second is based on a similar survey at the building scale, namely, drawing up a form for each building. The comparison of exposure and damage scenarios obtained with the two methods proves that the approximations provided by the compartment-scale survey are compatible with the purposes of an assessment of vulnerability and damage scenarios at the territorial scale.

Undeclared Colonial Types in Ecuadorian Modern Architecture

Studying ordinary housing types in Quito for a design studio activity led me to question the limitations of local theoretical accounts of incorporating non-canonical works in the literature. This essay develops this idea and analyzes how housing designs by Sixto Durán Ballén and Diego Ponce Bueno are portrayed in important architectural publications by employing diverse uses of the notion of type, allowing the way coloniality is reproduced in domestic spaces to be obliterated. The essay concludes by positing a speculative decolonial type, focused on communal spaces as the basis for experimentation rather than type as a pre-existing image or prejudiced model

Are there “Moral” Judgments?

Recent contributions in moral philosophy have raised questions concerning the prevalent assumption that moral judgments are typologically discrete, and thereby distinct from ordinary and/or other types of judgments. This paper adds to this discourse, surveying how attempts at defining what makes moral judgments distinct have serious shortcomings, and it is argued that any typological definition is likely to fail due to certain questionable assumptions about the nature of judgment itself. The paper concludes by raising questions for future investigations into the nature of moral judgment.

Tendency to Syntagmatic Expansion of the Generating Base in Bilingual Children

The difference between children’s innovations and the occasionalism of artistic and adult everyday speech lies, first of all, in their “simultaneity”, close connection with the objective situation and the child’s specific activity. While working in German schools, we often observed that children from Azerbaijani migrant families also tend to use regular and ordinary types of word – and form formation instead of irregular and rarer ones. Foreign children’s illiterate use of word forms testifies, first of all, to the meta-communicative and stylistic competence of the younger schoolchild that is being formed on their part. Indeed, the generalisation of grammatical form is not alien to the modern German language. The use of these kinds of words in the speech of foreign children is mainly because, at their young age, they cannot correctly identify individual word-building elements with the help of which one word or another is formed. With all the striving of foreign-speaking children to streamline the language system in some way convenient for them, to make it “correct”, they themselves cannot avoid paradoxes.

Strategies for Determining the Cascade Rate in MHD Turbulence: Isotropy, Anisotropy, and Spacecraft Sampling

Exact laws for evaluating cascade rates, tracing back to the Kolmogorov “4/5” law, have been extended to many systems of interest including magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and compressible flows of the magnetofluid and ordinary fluid types. It is understood that implementations may be limited by the quantity of available data and by the lack of turbulence symmetry. Assessment of the accuracy and feasibility of such third-order (or Yaglom) relations is most effectively accomplished by examining the von Kármán–Howarth equation in increment form, a framework from which the third-order laws are derived as asymptotic approximations. Using this approach, we examine the context of third-order laws for incompressible MHD in some detail. The simplest versions rely on the assumption of isotropy and the presence of a well-defined inertial range, while related procedures generalize the same idea to arbitrary rotational symmetries. Conditions for obtaining correct and accurate values of the dissipation rate from these laws based on several sampling and fitting strategies are investigated using results from simulations. The questions we address are of particular relevance to sampling of solar wind turbulence by one or more spacecraft.

"RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ASH AND SLAG REMOVAL SYSTEM IN CHP-2 OF JSC «ARSELORMITTAL TEMIRTAU»"

"This article discusses the modernization of the ash and slag removal system at CHPP-2 of JSC «ArcelorMittal Temirtau», the transition from the wet method of cleaning ash and slag to a more technologically advanced dry one. The long-term use of the hydraulic ash and slag removal system (GZSHU) has led to the accumulation of a huge amount of ash, which is subsequently not used. A comprehensive replacement of wet cleaning equipment for dry cleaning is considered. The wet method offers quenching with water (in this case, up to 1 % of the thermal efficiency of the TP-81 boiler unit is lost), followed by the use of drag pumps and the removal of ash and slag through the hydraulic ash removal channels to the ash dump. In the future, this ash cannot be used. During dry ash and slag removal, extinguishing with water is not used, but a pneumatic system for removing combustion products is used. Ash from gas cleaning plants through a system of pneumatic chamber pumps and intermediate hoppers is fed through ash pipelines to a silo warehouse. The use of this technology allows minimizing the harmful impact on the environment by reducing groundwater pollution with pulp, reducing the area of ​​​​ash dumps, reducing water consumption by the station, using ordinary types of steel in pipeline systems, and reducing the cost of equipment maintenance. Keywords: boiler, slag, ash and slag removal, dust preparation, hydraulic ash removal, fuel, coal, ash."

MARKET ORIENTATION AND PRODUCT INNOVATION AS AN MSME MARKETING STRATEGY

Marketing performance is one of the benchmarks for the company's success strategy. There are many factors that can affect the company's performance. This study aims to examine market orientation and product innovation on the marketing performance of culinary SMEs. Respondents in this study were culinary MSMEs with the ordinary types of processed foods throughout the city of Mataram, Indonesia. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. The questionnaire containing 17 questions was distributed to all respondents. The data analysis technique used in this research is the multiple linear regression technique through the SPSS version 16.0 application for windows. The results of this study indicate that the level of market orientation and product innovation of respondents is relatively high, but only product innovation significantly affects marketing performance. On the other hand, market orientation is not proven to have an effect on marketing performance. However, market orientation and product innovation together can significantly affect marketing performance. Thus, the results of this research become the basis for carrying out business efforts and market-oriented strategies and increasing product innovation.

A new type of silica-induced “moundless” pitting corrosion in copper observed in Japan

A new type of pitting corrosion in copper, namely “moundless” corrosion, has recently been reported in Japan. This type of pitting corrosion has some unique morphological features that differ from ordinary types of pitting corrosion, such as type I or type II. Firstly, this type of pitting corrosion has no mound of corrosion products that cover the mouth of the pit. In addition, a glassy verdigris exists around the pit. Furthermore, the pit measures <1 mm in diameter, but is extremely deep. In our study, we reproduced moundless pits by field testing in an area where moundless pits have often occurred. Moundless pits were also generated in synthetic freshwater through the dissolution of some selected components in a laboratory test. This synthetic freshwater contained 40 ppm SiO2, 50 ppm SO42−, 10 ppm Cl−, and 10 ppm HCO3−. Surface analysis of the moundless pit revealed that the mouths of the pits were covered with thin films that were mainly composed of silica.

Persona, Shadow dan Kepercayaan diri berhijab Remaja Putri dalam Kepribadian Jung

We all have certain styles of behavior and ways of relating to other people. Some of us are ordinary types, others are careless. The purpose of this study is to analyze the personality constructs according to Carl Gustav Jung, namely Persona and Shadow, the problem formulation is seen based on the personality of white Muslim teenagers who wear hijab, whether as an identity or just a trend. Some of us prefer to do our own work, others are more social. The method in this research is literature study sourced from journals, books, and other sources. Some of us are followers, others are leaders. Some of us appear immune to the attacks of others, while others avoid social initiatives for fear of disappointment. When a pattern of behavior becomes so inflexible or maladaptive that it causes significant personal impairment or interferes with social and occupational functioning, it may be diagnosed as a personality disorder.

Event-Triggered Hybrid Voltage Regulation With Required BESS Sizing in High-PV-Penetration Networks

In distribution networks with a high penetration of photovoltaic (PV), a coordination between reactive power compensation (RPC) of PV inverter and active power compensation (APC) of battery energy storage system (BESS) is always used in voltage regulation (VR). Since using a periodical VR inevitably increases communication utilization, how to design a new event-triggered one to reduce communication burden while achieving comprehensive voltage governance with the required minimum BESS sizing? Therefore, an event-triggered hybrid VR method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an event-triggered communication is designed based on the changes in bus voltage and sensitivity, thereby defining all operating instants into transmission and ordinary sampling types. For the voltage violation issue at the transmission instants, a network-wide coordinated proportional RPC-APC is then designed, which keeps constant during one transmission interval. For the additional voltage fluctuation at the ordinary sampling instants in the interval, a local RPC-APC is additionally designed to yield a fast suppression without using any communication. In addition, the required minimum BESS sizing is obtained by calculating the total APC for VR requirement, which gives a reference in configuring BESS. Finally, the case study is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

Bond-slip behaviors of composite steel-reinforced high strength lightweight aggregate concrete columns with innovative X-shaped steel sections

This paper provides an insight into the bond-slip performance of the new type of steel-reinforced high strength lightweight aggregate concrete (SRLWAC) column with innovative X-shaped steel sections through experimental and theoretical studies. Three SRLWAC specimens were tested under push-out force; the variables are the confinement by stirrups (ρsv) and shear connectors (SCs). Force-slip curves, force axial and horizontal deformations, failure modes, and crack patterns of the specimens were investigated; the force transfer, bond-stress, bond shear transmission length, and strains were studied. Comparisons between the bond strength of the studied specimens and ordinary types column specimens from 13 previous studies showed a superior bond capacity for the new type specimens. Five related models of bond capacity were discussed, and the utility of the models was put forward. A simplified load-slip model was proposed and verified. The most feasible model and the simplified model were used in the parametric study. The results showed that the material strengths and geometric configurations parameters affect the bond strength capacity. The confinement and SCs have effects on the bond and failure mode. The natural bond-stress combined with SCs produced smaller bond strength than that from both natural bonds and using higher ρsv. Recommendations for future works are developed.

Seismic performance of moment frames under multiple fling-step pulse ground motions

The displacement fling-step pulse seldom signatures near-field earthquake in its ground motions. It is well recognized that the near-field ground motion with velocity pulse amplifies the building drift larger than the regular ground motion. Recent findings explain that the building experiences minor damage to collapse is not caused only by the single earthquakes, which in many cases are due to repeated ground motion. The seismic performance of moment frames under the displacement fling-step pulse motion is not studied, particularly when this type of motion applies. Thousands of nonlinear inelastic response history analyses are conducted in order to find out the inter-story drifts, as the engineering demand parameter throughout the incremental dynamic analysis, on the 5 to 20-story moment resisting frames under the influence of multiple ground motions with a fling-step pulse. The special, intermediate, and ordinary types of moment frames are considered, respectively. On average, the evaluation result explains that the intensity measure of multiple ground motions with a fling-step pulse needs 68.37% lower than the single ground motion in order to produce the near collapse inter-story drift. This means the multiple ground motion with fling step pulse increases the probability of near collapse of frames significantly.

Revisiting Tennis-Jennings method to quantify low-density/high-density calcium silicate hydrates in Portland cement pastes

The Tennis-Jennings quantification method was revisited for characterizing low-density (LD) and high-density (HD) calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H). Parameterized Portland cement pastes were prepared with different Blaine values of ordinary Portland cement and different types of cement using two water-to-cement (W/C) ratios (0.40 and 0.55). The hydration processes in these samples were examined using nitrogen sorption measurements and X-ray diffraction (Rietveld) analyses. The densities of LD and HD C-S-H were determined to be 1.19 and 1.79 (g/cm3 of dried C-S-H), respectively. Variation of the mass ratio of the LD C-S-H to the total C-S-H with hydration depended on the fineness of the original cement powder within the same Portland cement and the type of cement, especially at the later hydration for higher W/C ratios. For cement pastes with lower W/C ratios, the type of cement did not have a significant effect on the LD C-S-H precipitation at later hydration.
