Histopathologic Diagnosis of Diffuse Placental Chorangiosis in a Patient WHO Presented with Preeclampsia and Inevitable Abortion

/in /by

Reported cases of chorangiosis in the literature are few and its etiopathogenesis is not still not completely understood [1]. However, most cases are caused by prolonged placental under-perfusion and chronic hypoxia [1]. Chorangiosis is also referred to as “extreme villous hyper-vascularity”; it is diagnosed by “the presence of more than 10 capillaries in more than 10 terminal chorionic villi in several areas of the placenta”, usually in three or more microscopic high power fields [1]. Cases of chorangiosis are reportedly seen in up to 5–7% of examined placentas from infants admitted to newborn intensive care units for various reasons, with an attendant increase in neonatal morbidity and mortality [1]. One of the well-documented causes of chorangiosis is Preeclampsia [1], which is a known cause of placental hypoxia and hypoperfusion as seen in this index case.

Analysis of Stunting Incidents in Toddlers during the Covid-19 Pandemic at Community Health Centers Located in Banjarbaru, Indonesia

/in /by

Based on data from the Banjarbaru City electronic Nutrition Reporting Recording application, the highest cases of stunting toddlers at the Landasan Ulin Community Health Center were 131 people (19.8%) while children aged 0-23 months who were stunted were 72 people (19.7%) which still did not reach the national target of 14%. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors associated with stunting incidence in terms of age, sex, Early Breastfeeding Initiation and exclusive breastfeeding. This research at the Landasan Ulin Community Health Center in Banjarbaru City used a cross sectional design. The population of this study was children aged 0-23 months. Determination of samples using systematic random sampling with a total of 165 children. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square and multivariate assays using multiple logistic regression tests. Based on the results of the analysis, children aged 0-23 months exposed to stunting amounted to 19.4%. The results of the Chi-Square test showed three variables that had a significant relationship with the incidence of child stunting, Early Breastfeeding Initiation and exclusive breastfeeding. The results of multiple logistic regression tests show that the most dominant factor related to the incidence of stunting in children aged 0-23 months is Early Breastfeeding Initiation. It is expected that there will be a regular increase in health promotion to breastfeeding mothers, direct visits to homes and socialization of the early initiation of breastfeeding procedures to relevant officers and the community.

Gas Compressibility Factor Prediction Using Machining Learning Algorithmic Protocol for Niger – Delta Gas Reservoir

/in /by

The gas compressibility factor also known as Z-factor plays an important role in obtaining thermodynamic properties of natural gas reservoir fluid property. Typically, empirical correlations and complex equation of state have been applied to determine this parameter in absence of laboratory measurements. However, high cost of running experimental measurement, poor performance and some limitations associated with these existing correlations have made the researchers to use intelligent models instead. Therefore, this study aimed at adopting support vector machine algorithm to forecast gas compressibility factor and to validate its performance with predictions from Artificial Neural network (ANN) and some existing correlations using statistical and performance plot analysis. A total of 519 data sets from Niger Delta was used in developing the model, out of it, 70 percent was used for training, 20 percent for testing and 10 percent for validation using MATLAB tool. From the statistical analysis result, it was observed that the new developed model did better than other existing methods with numerical value of 0.1997 rank, 0.0009 mean absolute error and 0.98 of coefficient of correlation using the test data. The cross plot of the support vector machine model gave the tightest cloud along 45o reference line. The residual (error) associated with the performance was impressive which was done to observe the distribution and the interval at which the error is minimal.

Some Solutions to Promote the Circular Economy toward Sustainable Development in Vietnam

/in /by

The recent global economic growth has reached many significant milestones, however, there is a problem with natural resources shortage and increasing environmental pollution. Circular economic development has become an international trend, especially when the world’s resources are increasingly exhausted, helping to solve the conflict between economic and environmental interests. In the context of international economic integration, Vietnam has signed a lot of new-generation free trade agreements (FTAs) with different countries and economic sectors, including commitments on environmental protection. Hence, adopting the circular economic model in Vietnam is inevitable to achieve sustainable development.

The Level of Development and Tax Revenues in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations

/in /by

In this study, three distinct panel models, namely the Pool Ordinary Least Square (OLS), Fixed Effect (FE), and Random Effect (RE) models, were utilized to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment, trade openness, inflation rate, proportion of value added in agriculture, proportion of value added in industry, civil liberties, political rights index, official development assistance, and human development index on tax revenue in the six ASEAN countries, namely Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, over the period of 2005 to 2021. The FE model was deemed more appropriate than the Pooled OLS model, as indicated by the FE test. Furthermore, a Hausman test was conducted, which revealed that the FE model was more suitable than the RE model. Regarding the empirical findings of the fixed effects (FE) model, it was observed that four indicators, namely FDI, TRADE, INF, and HDI, exhibit a statistically positive correlation with tax revenue. This implies that an increase in these variables would facilitate the promotion of tax revenue. Conversely, two variables, ARG and CIVLIB, despite exhibiting statistically significant correlations with tax revenue, demonstrate negative effects. This leads to the conclusion that an increase in these indicators would result in a decline in tax revenue.
