Understanding the mechanisms linking steatosis to fibrosis is needed to establish a promising therapy against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of this study was to clarify clinical features and hepatic gene expression signatures that predict and contribute to liver fibrosis development during the long-term real-world histological course of NAFLD in subjects with and without diabetes. A pathologist scored 342 serial liver biopsy samples from 118 subjects clinically diagnosed with NAFLD during a 3.8-year (SD 3.45 years, maximum 15 years) course of clinical treatment. At the initial biopsy, 26 subjects had simple fatty liver, and 92 had nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In the trend analysis, the fibrosis-4 index (P < 0.001) and its components at baseline predicted the future fibrosis progression. In the generalized linear mixed model, an increase in HbA1c, but not BMI, was significantly associated with fibrosis progression (standardized coefficient 0.17 [95% CI 0.009–0.326]; P = 0.038) for subjects with NAFLD and diabetes. In gene set enrichment analyses, the pathways involved in zone 3 hepatocytes, central liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), stellate cells, and plasma cells were coordinately altered in association with fibrosis progression and HbA1c elevation. Therefore, in subjects with NAFLD and diabetes, HbA1c elevation was significantly associated with liver fibrosis progression, independent of weight gain, which may be a valuable therapeutic target to prevent the pathological progression of NASH. Gene expression profiles suggest that diabetes-induced hypoxia and oxidative stress injure LSECs in zone 3 hepatocytes, which may mediate inflammation and stellate cell activation, leading to liver fibrosis.

Article Highlights

It remains uncertain how diabetes and obesity contribute to histological courses of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Clinical features and gene expression signatures that predict or are associated with future liver fibrosis development were assessed in a serial liver biopsy study of subjects with NAFLD. An increase in HbA1c, but not BMI, was associated with liver fibrosis progression in the generalized linear mixed model. Considering hepatic gene set enrichment analyses, diabetes may enhance liver fibrosis via injuring central liver sinusoidal endothelial cells that mediate inflammation and stellate cell activation during NAFLD development.

OBJECTIVE

Racial/ethnic-specific estimates of the influence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on type 2 diabetes remain underexplored in large population-based cohorts. We estimated racial/ethnic differences in the influence of GDM on diabetes risk and glycemic control in a multiethnic, population-based cohort of postpartum women.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Hospital discharge and vital registry data for New York City (NYC) births between 2009 and 2011 were linked with NYC A1C Registry data between 2009 and 2017. Women with baseline diabetes (n = 2,810) were excluded for a final birth cohort of 336,276. GDM on time to diabetes onset (two A1C tests of ≥6.5% from 12 weeks postpartum onward) or glucose control (first test of A1C <7.0% following diagnosis) was assessed using Cox regression with a time-varying exposure. Models were adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical factors and stratified by race/ethnicity.

RESULTS

The cumulative incidence for diabetes was 11.8% and 0.6% among women with and without GDM, respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of GDM status on diabetes risk was 11.5 (95% CI 10.8, 12.3) overall, with slight differences by race/ethnicity. GDM was associated with a lower likelihood of glycemic control (aHR 0.85; 95% CI 0.79, 0.92), with the largest negative influence among Black (aHR 0.77; 95% CI 0.68, 0.88) and Hispanic (aHR 0.84; 95% CI 0.74, 0.95) women. Adjustment for screening bias and loss to follow-up modestly attenuated racial/ethnic differences in diabetes risk but had little influence on glycemic control.

CONCLUSIONS

Understanding racial/ethnic differences in the influence of GDM on diabetes progression is critical to disrupt life course cardiometabolic disparities.
Hur AI-verktyget ChatGPT klarar en hemtentamen i palliativ vård
Authors: Christiansen Mats , Normark Lena , Swenne Christine Leo
Published: June 2023

Dataprogrammet ChatGPT är en bott som utför automatiska uppgifter. Denna chattbott skapade rubriker under hösten på grund av dess förmåga att med artificiell intelligens (AI) skapa svar på riktade frågor och texter utifrån ett beskrivet syfte. I slutet av december 2022 lades 16 frågor från en hemtentamen i palliativ vård vid sjuksköterskeprogrammet in i AI-botten för att få dem besvarade och testa bottens förmåga att besvara frågorna korrekt. Vi ville även testa om man kunde se någon skillnad på svaren i rättningsmallen och på studenternas svar och på de svar som genererats från AI-botten. En bedömning av bottens svar visade på att den hade klarat examinationen. Somliga svar var mycket bra och resonerande till sin natur, något gav reducerade poäng pga. bristande innehåll och ett par svar felaktiga. Ett svar stack ut då det var på engelska. Svaren hade ibland smärre grammatiska fel, men var främst betydligt längre och bättre strukturerade än studerandes. Möjligheten att upptäcka försök till vilseledande i examination hade varit liten. Det finns skillnad i svarens diskurs, där svaren från botten har en mer amerikansk stil i sin formulering. 
ENGLSIH ABSTRACT
How the AI tool ChatGPT passes a home exam in palliative careThe ChatGPT computer program is a bot that performs automatic tasks. This chatbot made headlines during the fall due to its ability to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create answers to targeted questions and texts based on a described purpose. At the end of December 2022, 16 questions from a home exam in palliative care at the nursing program were put into the AI bot to get them answered and test its ability to answer the questions correctly but also an assessment of whether the answers could be detected. An evaluation of the bot’s answers showed it had passed the examination. Some answers were excellent and reasoned, some gave reduced points due to lack of content, and some were incorrect. One answer stood out as it was in English. The answers sometimes had minor grammatical errors but were significantly more prolonged and better structured than the students’ answers. The possibility of detecting attempts at deception in the examination had been limited. There is a difference in discourse in the answers, with the answers from the bot having a more American style.

A Chronological Exploration of Key Influences on the Development of Tourism
Authors: Crous-Costa Neus , Vidal-Casellas Dolors , Morere-Molinero Nuria
Published: June 2023

Contemporary tourism is often accepted as the direct heir of the European Grand Tour in the 18th century, which in turn succeeded the Age of Discovery during the 15th 17th centuries (Chaney, 1998). However, a closer look into the subject reveals the existing tourism ecosystem has deeper roots (Morère Molinero, 2021). It encompassed various reasons for travel – for trade, pilgrimages and diplomacy, among other purposes. The values that emerged from the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolutions, in addition to the gradual crystallization of capitalism, were instrumental in shaping new geopolitical structures worldwide, in which Europe occupied the hegemonic centre (Towner, 1985; Bertrand, 2008). At the same time, these major events transformed the forms and rhythms of both life and work in Europe.
I-V Characteristics Measuring System for PV Generator based on PDM Inverter
Authors: A. Sandali  , A. Cheriti
Published: June 2023

This paper presents a new method to characterize photovoltaic panels. The power electronic converter used is a Pulse Density Modulation (PDM) inverter. In this method, the inverter plays two roles: First, it is a DC inductor emulator. Second, it allows assembly between inductive and capacitive load methods. The PDM inverter is adapted to operate at very high switching frequency. In this application, it avoids the difficulties of making DC inductors with high DC current and its control remains very simple. This is an asset for increasing the power, power density and rapidity of tracers based on this method. The main disadvantage of this method, compared to methods based on DC-DC converter, is the use of twice as many semiconductor components. But this disadvantage can be compensated by a gain on reactive components. The simulations and experimental results of the proposed system are shown.

Authors: Daniele Scirè  , Giuseppe Lullo  , Gianpaolo Vitale
Published: June 2023

This paper proposes a case study to show that the non-linear operation of a power inductor in a SMPS can induce instability of the control system leading to overheating of the inductor beyond its allowable temperature and to an excessive peak of the maximum current. The case study is performed by a commercial ferrite inductor employed in a synchronous boost converter encompassing a control system to adjust the duty cycle, assuring a constant output voltage. The thermal transient is described by the time domain waveforms and thermal images.

Published: June 2023

This paper discusses the effects of cloud transit on a stand-alone direct solar photovoltaic water pumping system for irrigation and farms. In this way, its impact is studied, applying a possible classification based on its incidence and effects on the system. For this, the information provided by the data loggers of different photovoltaic installations has been analyzed and in turn compared with the data obtained in the reference installation. In addition, the Matlab-Simulink simulation model used is described. Different  simulations  have  been  developed  to  verify  the  basic characteristics of the proposed system. In this way, it is possible to check the advantages and drawbacks of the direct water pumping in irrigation applications. At the same time, the system parameters can be easily modified to meet the requirements of different water flow capacities. Also, the water hammer effect and the cavitation phenomenon  in  the  water  pump  are  described.  Finally,  the simulation  results  obtained  as  well  as  their  conclusions  are presented.
Output voltage control of the OVT inverter
Authors: A. Muc  , J. Iwaszkiewicz
Published: June 2023

The  paper  presents  the  possibility  of  the  output voltage control of an OVT inverter. The idea of the OVT inverter construction is based on the orthogonal space vectors theory. The OVT inverter is built of two components two-level three-phase inverters: the main inverter (MI) and the auxiliary one (AI). The output voltage of the OVT inverter takes the shape of a stepped voltage analogous to the voltage generated by multilevel inverters. The paper demonstrates possible control methods of the output voltage  frequency  and  amplitude.  The  results  obtained  during simulation  studies  prove  that  the  output  voltage  essential parameters may be a function of the DC voltage and the control circuitry permits easy  defining a selection of voltage/frequency characteristics.

Published: June 2023

The analysis of Power Quality issues and/orthe integration of renewable energy into the grid requiresthe use of different tools, among which the use of computersimulation applications stands out. The basic objective isto obtain a model of the electrical system under study thatallows for knowledge, with a reasonable degree of preci-sion, of its behavior under different operating conditions.The benefits of these tools are manifold, since they allow usto understand the response of the system, both in transientand steady-state conditions, to situations that are difficultto reproduce in practice: short circuits, failures in gen-eration, transmission and distribution infrastructures, etc.Additionally, these tools can be used as platforms for opera-tor training and network planning. Currently, a wide varietyof commercial tools that are de facto standards can be foundon the market. Some of these tools have a high cost andcannot be used by students outside the academic environ-ment. In parallel, and thanks to the efforts of the scientificcommunity, simulation tools have been developed that areavailable free of cost under several licensing models. Thiscontribution analyzes some of the available tools, with spe-cial attention to those that are published under several opensource and academic non-commercial software licenses thatare available to the academic community free of cost.

That- stance Found in Discussion Sections in Applied Linguistics Research Articles
Authors: Phongjit Wichanon , Gampper Chanika
Published: June 2023

This study identified the use of evaluative ‘that’ stance embedded in rhetorical move structures in applied linguistics research articles in discussion sections written in English and published in international and Thai journals. The study aimed to investigate the uses of the evaluative ‘that’ stance in discussion sections for observing the evaluative ‘that’ stance practices in both international and Thai journals. The data was gathered from 80 research articles. The rhetorical moves from the discussion sections were analyzed. Occurrences of the evaluative ‘that’ stance were identified and counted within the embedded rhetorical move-step. The results revealed that international journals and Thai authors employed a similar amount of evaluative ‘that’ stances, although they occurred in different moves and steps. The International authors used an evaluative ‘that’ stance for commenting on results, whereas Thai journal authors tended to use an evaluative ‘that’ stance for reporting results. In the subtypes of evaluative ‘that’ stance, Doubt stance was heavily used in move four: commenting on the results from the international corpus. The findings confirmed that Certainty stance was found in the same contexts from both corpora. Surprisingly, the international journal authors tended to use only a few instances of Neutral stance for commenting on the results. The findings show the differences in the common convention between both journals that could provide information in terms of how the discussion section moves and the evaluative ‘that’ stance presented to help novice EFL scholars to write discussions that comply with international conventions.
Insight into the Role of Interaction in Language Acquisition: Vygotsky’s Interactionist Theory of Language
Authors: Maflah Alharbi Jamilah
Published: June 2023

Psychologists’ theoretical implications have led to several studies investigating L1 and L2 acquisition. This research examines Vygotsky’s (1978, 1987a, 1987b, 1997, 2012) interactionist view of language acquisition and draws on a critical review methodology to assess the relevance of Vygotsky’s (1978) interactionist theory in L1 and L2 acquisition. To assess whether Vygotsky’s (1978) theory of language acquisition is effective, the selected articles will be critically examined. This research indicates that the articles under review prove the validity of Vygotsky’s (1978) arguments. However, they did not address how children from non-western cultures and those with disabilities acquire language, on the one hand, and the role of self-regulatory speech in language acquisition, on the other hand. Though Chomsky’s (1965) Universal Grammar and Skinner’s (1957) behaviourist theory have inspired scholars, linguists, and researchers to examine L1 and L2 acquisition deeply, Vygotsky’s (1978) interactionist theory explains how social interaction is crucial to a child’s cognitive development. The theory’s emphasis on learner-centeredness may significantly empower language teachers if implemented wisely into the L2 Curriculum. To maximize the effectiveness of social interaction in L2 learning, more profound and longitudinal research on the integration of zone of proximal development and scaffolding into teaching is required. Though teacher and peer interactions in L2 learning have been studied empirically, the types of social interactions that enhance language acquisition need to be assessed. Educators, researchers, and scholars must investigate how social interactions affect the cognitive and linguistic development of learners. Educators, researchers, and scholars must investigate how social interactions affect the cognitive and linguistic development of learners.

For EFL students, academic writing can be challenging, especially in Thailand, where English is taught in formal classroom settings. To become proficient in academic writing, students need to master genre knowledge and develop an understanding of genre variations. This study attempted to figure out how genre-based instruction affected the academic writing performance of EFL students. The main research questions are to what extent students improve their writing performance and their awareness of genre after studying academic writing through genre-based instruction. The study involved fifty-six undergraduate students in Thailand. There were four research instruments, i.e., pretest and posttest, student writing, student reflection, and semi-structured interviews. Students’ writing scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics. An independent-sample t-test was used to analyze the means of the two groups receiving different instruction types. Student reflection and interviews were used to explore the target students’ genre awareness and students’ attitudes toward the instruction. The results of this study showed that the students in the control and experimental group had equal writing abilities, as seen in the pretest. However, the experimental group of students significantly outperformed the students in the control group in all types of academic writing. The findings also revealed that the target students improved their genre awareness in four ways, i.e., audience awareness, purpose awareness, appropriate content, and textual features. In addition, they held positive attitudes toward genre-based instruction. This study provides a guideline for teachers and practitioners to incorporate genre-based instruction into teaching writing to improve students’ writing proficiency.
“As crianças podem ser críticas de literatura?”: a contribuição de Aidan Chambers para o ensino de literatura
Authors: Cortez Mariana
Published: June 2023

Aidan Chambers é um reconhecido escritor inglês dedicado ao público jovem que, paralelamente à atividade artística, estuda e elabora práticas para o ensino de literatura na escola. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever o enfoque no qual se baseia a “conversa literária” como prática social significativa na escola e na vida. Segundo Chambers (2007b, 2011b), as sessões “Diga-me” (Tell Me) não são um método, mas sim um enfoque que entende que crianças podem tornar-se críticos de literatura. Para esse fim, a discussão está dividida em quatro partes: a apresentação do autor e sua obra; o jogo de vozes (Bakhtin, 2002) presentes na proposição de Chambers; a categorização da corrente discursiva sobre a recepção e o efeito de obras estéticas (Barthes, 2000, 2013; Dewey, 2010; Iser, 1999, 2002) e, finalmente, a descrição do enfoque “Diga-me”. Os resultados obtidos levam à sistematização do elo discursivo que sustenta a proposição de uma abordagem pertinente para a leitura literária nas salas de aula, que parte da leitura individual e transita para o ato coletivo, negociando e compartilhando os sentidos de um objeto estético. Em razão de os trabalhos de Chambers não estarem traduzidos para o português, entende-se este exercício como uma contribuição para o campo do ensino da literatura no Brasil.
