Published: August 2024

This study explores wedding invitation cards from a sociolinguistic perspective, focusing on a case study from Jordan. The study highlights the cultural and communicative significance of wedding invitations in Jordanian society. The objective is to analyze the linguistic features, social functions, cultural values reflected in these invitations, and structure (the components) of the wedding cards. Methods include qualitative content analysis of a sample of wedding invitation cards collected from various regions in Jordan, supplemented by interviews with card designers and recipients. Results indicate that the language of the invitations is a blend of formal Arabic, colloquial expressions, and occasional English phrases, reflecting social hierarchies, regional identities, and influences from globalization. The study also reveals that wedding invitations serve as a medium for displaying social status, familial bonds, and cultural traditions. The study concludes that wedding invitation cards in Jordan are not merely functional artifacts but are rich in sociolinguistic meaning, providing insights into the interplay between language, culture, and society in contemporary Jordan.

Objectives

To assess the direct hospital costs for unplanned re‐admissions within 30 days of hospitalisations with heart failure in Australia; to estimate the proportion of these costs attributable to potentially preventable re‐admissions.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study; analysis of linked admitted patient data collections data.

Setting, participants

People admitted to hospital (all public and most private hospitals in Australia) with primary diagnoses of heart failure, 1 January 2013 – 31 December 2017, who were discharged alive and re‐admitted to hospital at least once (any cause) within 30 days of discharge.

Main outcome measures

Estimated re‐admission costs based on National Hospital Cost Data Collection, by unplanned re‐admission category based on the primary re‐admission diagnosis: potentially hospital‐acquired condition; recurrence of heart failure; other diagnoses related to heart failure; all other diagnoses. The first two groups were deemed the most preventable.

Results

The 165 612 eligible hospitalisations of people with heart failure during 2013–2017 (mean age, 79 years [standard deviation, 12 years]; 85 964 men [51.9%]) incurred direct hospital costs of $1881.4 million (95% confidence interval [CI], $1872.5–1890.2 million), or $376.3 million per year (95% CI, $374.5–378.1 million per year) and $11 360 per patient (95% CI, $11 312–11 408 per patient). A total of 41 125 people (24.8%) experienced a total of 58 977 unplanned re‐admissions within 30 days of discharge from index admissions; these re‐admissions incurred direct hospital costs of $604.4 million (95% CI, $598.2–610.5 million), or 32% of total index admission costs; that is, $120.9 million per year (95% CI, $119.6–122.1 million per year), and $14 695 per patient (95% CI, $14 535–14 856 per patient). Re‐admissions with potentially hospital‐acquired conditions (21 641 re‐admissions) accounted for 40.1% of unplanned re‐admission costs, recurrence of heart failure (18 666 re‐admissions) for 35.6% of re‐admission costs.

Conclusion

Unplanned re‐admissions after hospitalisations with heart failure are expensive, incurring costs equivalent to 32% of those for the initial hospitalisations; a large proportion of these costs are associated with potentially preventable re‐admissions. Reducing the number of unplanned re‐admissions could improve outcomes for people with heart failure and reduce hospital costs.

Published: August 2024

Background. Tibial eminence fracture is an injury referred to the interarticular portion of the neighbouring plateau of the tibia. Non-operative treatment is recommended for type I and II. The study aimed to investigate the effect of virtual reality (VR) training combined with a physical therapy program (PTP) in the management of children after tibial eminence fractures. Methods. Forty eight children suffering from tibial eminence fracture (type I and type II). Their age ranged from 7 to 14 years old. The control group (G1) received only a physiotherapy program (PTP) and the experimental group (G2) received the same PTP plus virtual reality (VR) in form of Wii Sport Training. Both groups received the treatment protocol for six successive months (3 sessions per week). Participants were assessed before and after the treatment for six successive months. The outcomes were range of motion (ROM) of knee joint using goniometry, knee pain using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and balance by Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS). Results. Post-treatment, there was a a statistically substantial difference in pain, PBS, knee flexion and extension ROM in both groups (P-value < 0.05). Also, there was a statistically substantial difference in PBS and knee flexion ROM between the two groups (P-value < 0.05), favouring the VR group. Conclusions. These findings from this study reveal the value of physical therapy combined with VR in the rehabilitation of children with tibial eminence fractures. Virtual reality used in conjunction with PTP enhances those children’s knee range of motion and body stability.

Orang tua merupakan Pendidikan pertama bagi sang anak, namun terkadang dalam memberikan pola asuh antara orang tua satu dengan yang lain itu pasti berbeda contohnya sikap orang tua yang berlebihan kepada anaknya, sikap berlebihan ini disebut dengan sikap Over Protective. Sikap Over Protective orang tua merupakan sikap berlebihan yang diberikan orang tua kepada anaknya Sebenarnya sikap berlebihan tersebut dinilai sebagai bentuk kasih sayang dari orang tua, dan lumrah dilakukan oleh orang tua kepada anaknya, namun hal tersebut kadang salah diartikan oleh anak sehingga mereka merasa kurang nyaman dan pastinya akan berpengaruh kepada perilaku anak itu sendiri. Karena pada dasarnya anak butuh bereksplorasi terhadap lingkunganya tanpa adanya larangan dan kekangan secara berlebihan yang dilakukan oleh orangtuanya. Untuk itu perlu kita bahas seperti apa dampak Over Protective orang tua terhadap perilaku anak. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dan Teknik wawancara.

Advancing INDOT’s Friction Test Program for Seamless Coverage of System: Pavement Markings, Typical Aggregates, Color Surface Treatment, and Horizontal Curves
Authors: Bao Jieyi , Hu Xiaoqiang , Peng Cheng , Duan Junyi , Lin Yizhou , Tao Chengcheng , Jiang Yi , Li Shuo
Published: August 2024

Various highway projects, roadway safety, and maintenance all hinge on pavement friction. INDOT's pavement friction test program has played a crucial role in addressing issues like wet pavement crash reduction, durable pavements surface friction, and sustainable aggregates. However, changes in the transportation sector, allied industries, societal needs, and economics present unique challenges that require proactive solutions. First, the existing field friction testing method, which uses a locked wheel skid tester (LWST) is limited to straight, flat pavement sections and excludes crash-prone areas like horizontal curves. Upgrading the program to cover horizontal curves on two-lane rural highways is vital for road safety. Second, the demand for friction testing on pavement markings at crash sites is rising. There's currently no widely accepted standard method for national-scale pavement marking friction testing. The shift to wider longitudinal pavement markings, from 4" to 6", driven by both human and autonomous vehicle safety, presents challenges for motorcyclists and pedestrians. The third challenge focuses on Color Surface Treatment (CST), which is increasingly used in Indiana bus and bike lanes for visibility, lane discipline, and friction performance, especially under frequent bus acceleration and braking. However, a lack of laboratory and field data necessitates investigating CST's metrics and requirements for adequate friction. Advancing INDOT's friction testing program to cover the entire highway system and address emerging friction challenges is imperative. The goals of this study included enhancing INDOT's friction testing, ensuring comprehensive highway network coverage and providing reliable friction data to help INDOT address safety concerns. The research encompassed a thorough evaluation of various aggregates and pavement marking materials commonly used in Indiana through laboratory experiments, field tests, and data analysis to unveil their influence on pavement friction. Field friction measurements on colored bus and bike lanes were also conducted and thoroughly analyzed. Moreover, the tire-pavement interaction on horizontal curves was assessed on airport runways and highway sections through mechanistic-empirical analysis, and a friction testing model for horizontal curves was devised using finite element analysis and machine learning methodologies.
The Effect of Profitability and Liquidity on Firm Value with Capital Structure as a Moderating Variable
Authors: Pamungkas Budhi , Asrifah Gautama Cici , Nurhayati Netti Siska , Miftahuddin Asep , Yoga Prime
Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability and liquidity on firm value with capital structure as a moderating variable in companies in the apparel and luxury goods subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2018–2022 period. The research methods used are descriptive and verification quantitative methods. Descriptive methods are used to describe firm value, profitability, liquidity, and capital structure. In contrast, verification methods are used to test the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable and the moderating role of capital structure. Data collection is done using secondary data from the company's published financial statements. The results showed that profitability and liquidity positively and significantly influence firm value. High profitability indicates good economic performance and provides a positive signal to investors. In contrast, high liquidity suggests the company's ability to meet short-term obligations and reduce the risk of bankruptcy. In addition, capital structure is found to function as a moderating variable that can strengthen or weaken the effect of profitability and liquidity on firm value. A balanced capital structure between debt and equity can maximize the benefits of profitability and liquidity, while an unbalanced capital structure can reduce these positive effects. This study implies that company management in the apparel and luxury goods subsector needs to optimize profitability and liquidity and manage the capital structure wisely to increase firm value. The findings also support signal, pecking order, and trade-off theories, which emphasize the importance of effective financial management and optimal capital structure. This study contributes to the financial management and corporate strategy literature and offers practical insights for corporate managers and investors in economic decision-making.

Authors: ZHU Shuiwen , WU Shunxin , HU Zhangzheng , FU Yu
Published: August 2024

In order to predict the effects of different fiber orientations on the elastic constants of composites, this paper takes carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene composites as an example, and adopts the Mori-Tanaka method to establish the Random Volume Element (RVE) model of fiber composites with five different fiber orientations, namely, 0 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, and 90 °, and investigates the effects of the fiber The effects of fiber orientation and fiber volume fraction on their elastic constants were investigated to obtain the required data by this method instead of experiment. By improving the Halpin-Tsai model, the value of the orientation factor was determined on the basis of the random orientation factor, and the original shape factor was modified to an exponential shape factor, the orientation degree factor was introduced, and finally, the relationship equations between the modified exponential shape factor and the volume fraction and orientation degree were obtained. The results show that for the same fiber orientation and volume fraction, the smaller the value of shape factor, the higher the elastic modulus. The fitting errors of the four values of elastic constants were also analyzed, and it was found that the improved Halpin-Tsai model could be used to predict the elastic constants of carbon fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites in a certain range, thus providing a method to study the prediction of the elastic constants of composites by fiber orientation.

Bringing Data Converter Pairs into Chaotic Oscillation for Built-in Self-Test and Entropy Generation
Authors: Callegari Sergio
Published: August 2024

A pair comprising an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) can enter chaotic oscillation when closed in a feedback loop with a limited set of additional elements. This phenomenon can be employed for entropy generation in true random number generators (TRNGs). Additionally, the oscillation can expose defects in the components’ operation, providing an opportunity for built-in self-test (BIST). Reconfigurable loops sustaining self-oscillation characterize the oscillation-based test (OBT) approach, appealing for not requiring resources to excite the blocks under test (BUTs). While OBT has been applied to various signal processing primitives, its use in data converters has been mostly confined to specific subsystems or variations of servo-testing. Here, it is shown that chaotic OBT of data converter pairs may offer insights on their input-output characteristics, while providing entropy generation at the same time. A PIC microcontroller, together with an external DAC and some operational amplifiers, is used as a test bed to validate the approach’s scope and demonstrate its applicability to real-world systems.
Estimation of HbA1c and Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Hypoglycemic States
Authors: Kumar Mishra Brijesh , Raghav Alok , Jeong Goo-Bo , Jain Mukesh , Shukla Pinky , Sharma Swati
Published: August 2024

Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is formed when glucose combines with hemoglobin present in red blood cells making it glycated. Hypoglycemia is presented by less sugar binding with the hemoglobin compared to in hyperglycemia. HbA1c is considered to be a gold standard for measuring glycemic index in diabetic patients. This indicates the burden of blood glucose in subjects with diabetes mellitus. As the normal life span of red blood cells (RBCs) is 90–120 days, therefore HbA1c predicts the average glucose level of 90 days period. Currently, it is being used to combat the burden of diabetes worldwide. There are several cost-effective and high sensitivity & specificity techniques that are being used for the measurement of HbA1c. Most advanced methods include HPLC and enzyme-based. However, there are some variants of hemoglobin that interfere with it. As this is one of the essential parameters to study the progression of diabetes in a patient, a cost-effective and reliable method is required for the estimation.
Dissecting the Multifaceted Therapeutic Implications of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: An Intricate Exploration
Authors: Soni Naina , Rameshwari Rashmi
Published: August 2024

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are prized for their versatility and therapeutic potential. Derived from various sources such as the umbilical cord, adipose tissue, or bone marrow, MSCs have garnered attention over the past 2 decades for their regenerative and immunomodulatory capabilities. What sets MSCs apart is their ability to facilitate repair through paracrine pathways, notably via extracellular vesicles (EVs). These EVs offer a novel therapeutic approach, eliminating the need for direct cell transfer or injection and mitigating risks like graft rejection and tumor formation. Recent studies highlight the therapeutic advantages of MSC EVs, loaded with mRNA, proteins, and miRNA from their parent cells. Operating primarily through the endosomal compartment, they influence disease processes through intricate signaling pathways, offering promise for diverse medical conditions. Our review delves into the multifaceted role of MSCs and their EVs in mediating therapeutic outcomes.
What Is the Role of Surgery in Secondary and Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism?
Authors: Vetter Diana , Schachtner Thomas
Published: August 2024

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) contributes significantly to renal osteodystrophy, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality. Pharmacological management includes phosphate-lowering treatments for persistent overt hyperphosphatemia, calcitriol and vitamin D analogs for hypocalcemia, and less frequent calcimimetics. Refractory sHPT, unresponsive to pharmacological treatments, necessitates an individualized approach to parathyroidectomy (PTx). PTx in refractory sHPT should be considered when parathyroid hormone levels progressively rise or sHPT-related symptoms persist. Subtotal PTx or total PTx with auto-transplantation is preferred for patients eligible for kidney transplantation. For those not considered for kidney transplantation, total PTx is an option. Additional thymectomy, mainly when the lower parathyroid glands cannot be located, may be performed. Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (tHPT) frequently persists at two years of follow-up after kidney transplantation. THPT often involves multiple glands, adversely affecting bone metabolism, cardiovascular risk, and kidney allograft function, thus warranting PTx. Subtotal PTx remains the preferred surgical approach. When glandular autonomy is suspected, the timing of PTx ideally precedes kidney transplantation. If PTx is required post-kidney transplantation, most centers delay surgery until one year after transplantation to improve kidney allograft outcomes. The decision for PTx and its extent and timing must be carefully individualized, balancing the risks and benefits to maximize patient outcomes in both sHPT and tHPT.
Machine Learning and Seismic Hazard: A Combination of Probabilistic Approaches for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis
Authors: Ortega Roberto
Published: August 2024

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) integrates seismology with invitation of civil engineering. Allin Cornell’s 1968 work, developed with Dr. Emilio Rosenblueth and Dr. Luis Esteban Maraboto, revolutionized earthquake engineering by making seismology practical for construction. Cornell’s deterministic equations, once valued for their elegance and simplicity, can now be enhanced with modern tools. Today, probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is evolving by integrating both deterministic and nondeterministic models, leveraging machine learning (ML) techniques such as Random Forests, Support Vector Machines, Neural Networks, Reinforcement Learning, and Bayesian Inferences. This chapter explores the future of PSHA through these advanced methods. While ML offers powerful solutions, it is crucial to recognize that it is not a one-size-fits-all answer. The optimal approach involves using a hybrid ensemble of systems, each designed to address specific challenges in detail.

Authors: Lussier Bertrand , Bakker Jaco , Bouard Delphine , Read Kate , Whitfield Lucy
Published: August 2024

Surgery in laboratory animals is an orphan field of veterinary medicine. Nevertheless, it is of the utmost importance in the development of new drugs, including their pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties, their toxicity, and their efficacy. It is also an inherent part of animal studies for the evaluation of medical devices for regulatory submission, thus improving public health. Application of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement of animal use) allows surgeons to ensure that animal welfare is optimal and that unnecessary suffering is reduced to an absolute minimum while still achieving scientific objectives. In addition, surgery as a field has been subjected to stringent reviews by both ethical committees and peer review of scientific research, which has obliged us to greatly refine our surgical techniques, resulting in improved and more reproducible outcomes. This chapter will discuss the implementation of good practice in aseptic technique for surgery in laboratory animals including small (mouse, rat) and large animal models (rabbit, sheep, pig, and non-human primates).

Penanaman Nilai-Nilai Islam dalam Pembentukan Kepribadian Muslim Ummah
Authors: Siti Zailiah
Published: August 2024

The formation of Muslim personality as an ummah is a person who is ingrained in the ukhuwah Islamiyah, so that they always do good and prevent evil by adhering to the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet. In the Qur'an there is a change in the form of the word ummah, which shows ummatan wahidah, which shows a unity that is not divided because of differences in ethnicity, race and culture. Ummatan wasathan is a moderate ummah, khoiru ummah is a superior ummah, baldatun thayyibatun is a prosperous country, ummatan muqtashidah which describes an ummah that is not extravagant. The research method is a library research. There are four characteristics of library research, namely: 1) research deals directly with text (manuscripts) or numerical data and not with direct knowledge from the field or eye witnesses in the form of events, people or other objects, 2) library data is ready to use (ready mode), 3) library data are generally secondary sources and 4) library data is not limited by space and time because it is already "dead" data stored in written records. So in this study using library research. The personal application of Muslims as an ummah is to shape the personality of Muslim individuals so that they become human beings who are submissive and obedient to Allah, prioritizing His interests over other interests in the sense that they do not wish to become human beings who are negligent in remembering Allah SWT. So when a child lives in a religious family, of course, after joining the community, he is not easily influenced by the western lifestyle, because the values of Islamic teachings are instilled, which are guided by the Al-Qur'an and the Sunnah of Rasulullah SAW. Therefore, the Prophet recommended that in choosing a mate, Islam teaches to be selective because it will give birth to generations who are expected to become caliphs on earth, as servants who are submissive and obedient to the commands of Allah SWT.
