PRE-COVID-19 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STATUS DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST REDUCTIONS IN POST-COVID-19 SYMPTOMS: A CORRELATION RELATIVISTIC ANALYSIS DURING THE LOCKDOWN
Authors: Owen Rebecca , Faghy Mark A. , Ashton Ruth E. M. , Ferraro Francesco V.
Published: May 2023

People who exhibit unhealthy lifestyle behaviours are at greater risk of severe disease outcomes, risk of hospitalisation and mortality when infected with COVID-19. Accordingly, it is suggested that those with higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness and who engage in regular physical activity (PA) are associated with a reduced risk of adverse outcomes. Although improved physiological function may protect individuals against severe acute COVID-19 outcomes, it is unknown whether it offers protection against developing sustained symptom profile, known as post-acute COVID-19 syndrome or Long COVID. Affecting an estimated 2 million people in the UK and 144 million globally, Long COVID is challenging healthcare services with broader social and economic impacts. Accordingly, this project aimed to determine the impact of PA status on Long COVID. An online survey was developed Utilizing adapted versions of preexisting Patient Re-ports Outcome Measures (Qualtrics, Provo, Utah, United States). Participants self-reported PA status in line with the World Health Organisation guidelines and their pre- and post-COVID-19 health status and symptom profile. A Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyse between-group responses, and a Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used to analyse within-group responses. The survey was completed by 381 participants, of which n=253 reported meeting or exceeding the recommended guidelines of PA. A significant difference was found between pre- and post-COVID-19 health, whilst a Mann-Whitney U test concluded that there was no significant difference between PA groups and post-COVID-19 health status. According to the results, increased PA and cardiorespiratory fitness might offer protection against severe disease outcomes in the acute phase of infection but this does not offer full protection against developing a long-term symptom profile and increased mechanistic understanding of the physiological determinants is needed to restore the pre-COVID-19 status and assist in the development of multi-disciplinary interventions.

Why war won and negotiations lost? Is the absence of war the same as peace?
Authors: Libaridian Gerard
Published: May 2023

The article comparatively analyzes the systemic dependence of military victory and negotiation defeat, which is manifested in a situation of absence of war and still unsettled peace. The article examines the negotiations on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, along with cooperation and struggle, which constitute the main form of expression of world and regional politics in the modern world.

Taking into account the genesis and changing nature of the Karabakh conflict, the author analyzes the main reasons why the negotiations on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict were not successful. In this context, the purpose of this article is to study the process of conducting international negotiations of the Karabakh conflict, its structural and functional components, to analyze the negotiation activity as a means of settling and resolving conflict situations in Nagorno-Karabakh, the implementation of international cooperation, as well as to study the main characteristics of the negotiation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The author focuses on the military, political and diplomatic dimensions of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict from 1988 to its last phase in 2020. The negotiation process to resolve the conflict in this article is considered, both in terms of their content, results and positions of their participants, as well as in terms of the procedural side of the negotiation.
Transformations of the Ideology of Nation-Building and State-Building in Armenia: Phenomenon of Integrity of Nation and State
Authors: Yengoyan Ashot
Published: May 2023

The article deals with the issues of creating a new national ideology in the conditions of state-building in modern Armenia. The discourse of political actors on the role of national ideology, which is divided, is analyzed comparatively. This article attempts to reveal the main reasons why some believe that in modern Armenian society, based on the principles of political and ideological pluralism, there should be no ideology that claims to be national. On the contrary, the adherents of the creation of a national ideology see it as an important tool for the consolidation of the Armenian society.
The author comes to the conclusion that the collapse of the USSR and the Soviet ideology led to the fact that the role of ideology was criticized. The article touches upon the topic that since 1991, the process of de-ideologization of society and public institutions began in Armenia. However, in reality, the ideological confrontation between the various actors of the Armenian transit society intensified. Since 1988, the topic of the national ideology of Armenia has been one of the key topics of interdisciplinary research.
The welfare state crisis and the strengthening of the far-right in Sweden as a result of increasing migration
Authors: Chuguryan Simona , Baculakova Kristina , Kucharcik Rudolf
Published: May 2023

This article attempts to reveal the main causes of the crisis of the welfare state and the rise of the extreme right in Sweden as a result of increased migration. The article clarifies the features of the Swedish model of the welfare state, which essentially became the basis of the Northern European model, which is considered the most complete expression of the essence of the social experiment of the northern countries. Sweden has a reputation for being an extremely open and overly tolerant country towards migrants from different parts of the world. At the height of the migratory crisis, no other country in Europe had received as many asylum seekers in proportion to its population as Sweden. For many left-wing sympathizers, this was confirmation that their state was a true ‘humanitarian superpower’. Unusually generous migration policy has led to a change in the political climate and allowed more radical political forces to emerge. Stereotypes have been disrupted and relatively homogeneous Swedish society is gradually becoming multicultural. There is even a change in the attitude of Swedes themselves towards the entry, integration, permanent residence and naturalization of migrants into Swedish society.
ADDRESSING COMMON METHOD BIAS, OPERATIONALIZATION, SAMPLING, AND DATA COLLECTION ISSUES IN QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH: REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Authors: Memon Mumtaz Ali , Thurasamy Ramayah , Cheah Jun-Hwa , Ting Hiram , Chuah Francis , Cham Tat Huei
Published: May 2023

When editing regular and special issues of numerous journals, we have observed several recurring shortcomings in the manuscripts, particularly in relation to methodology. Many of these manuscripts are often found lacking in providing critical methodological information or justifying the use of the selected methods, thus resulting in desk rejection at the preliminary stage or major revision in the review process. Although the theoretical and managerial aspects of manuscripts are essential to publication consideration, methodological flaws can be detrimental. It is therefore of no surprise that failures to address methodological concerns are some of the common reasons for a manuscript to be rejected from publication, even after going through several rounds of revision. The purpose of this editorial is to provide clear guidelines on effectively reporting the methodological section in a quantitative manuscript in the fields of business and social sciences. Specifically, we present a set of recommendations on implementing and reporting operationalization, instrument validation, sampling techniques, questionnaire administration, and common method bias. Researchers, whether students or academics, should consider these guidelines to ensure methodological rigor in their research projects.

This research is about the Islamic communication strategy played by the Upgrade Muslim Community which aims to motivate the importance of education among adolescents in Denai Nest Bird Village, Pantai Labu District. This study uses field observation research and interviews with qualitative methods. The fundamental reason for raising this phenomenon by researchers is because the Upgrade Muslim Community is able to influence the people in the village by using the Qur'an and hadith as a guide to convey messages that can motivate the community. Qaulan sadidan and qaulan balighan are the principles of Islamic communication used. To create a quality, educated generation is the right effort for this, therefore it is very important for teenagers to prioritize education. The upgraded Muslim community conducts outreach, seminars and makes banners to convey things that can change people's mindsets. Apart from that, social media is also used as a means of disseminating information and means of communication in realizing the strategies that have been designed. There are several obstacles that occur in carrying out these activities, but these obstacles can be resolved appropriately by the community itself. The Islamic communication strategy used is an effective strategy to achieve the stated goals.

Strengthening of RC Frames With Infill Walls Using High Strength Lightweight Concrete Panels
Authors: KOMAN Hakan
Published: May 2023

This study proposed a practical seismic retrofit method for RC frames. For this purpose, a quasi-static loading was applied to 8 RC frames in finite element analysis software, Abaqus, and frames were pushed 45 mm laterally. High-strength fiber-reinforced lightweight concrete panels strengthened infill walls inside the RC frames. To apply them to the walls, epoxy binder and polyurethane binder were used, and their behavior was compared. Using panels increased the lateral load capacity of the whole frame according to the numerical analysis performed with Abaqus. In the worst case, the retrofitted frame carried approximately two times the traditionally infilled frame's capacity. In the best case, the RC frame carried 4.29 times the lateral load traditionally infilled frame. Polyurethane binder prevented the separation of panels from walls and provided a ductile behavior to frames even in large drifts.
Past and present utilisation of marine mammals in Grenada, West Indies
Authors: Romero Aldemaro , Hayford Kyla
Published: May 2023

The exploitation of marine mammals in Grenada dates back to pre-Columbian times. Whaling ships visited Grenadian waters in the 19th century and during the 1920s there was a short-lived attempt to develop a local, modern whaling industry. Since then no exploitative interactions between Grenadians and marine mammals had taken place, until the 1990s when two whalewatching operations were established.

Suspension-cultured taste bud organoids recapitulate in vivo taste buds
Authors: Adpaikar Anish Ashok , Lee Jong-Min , Jung Han-Sung
Published: May 2023

Background: Taste buds are a complex organ and require a plethora of growth factors for their development, homeostasis, and regeneration. Taste bud organoids provide a platform for understanding their development, disease and regeneration.Methods: In this study, we focused on identifying the localization of receptors involved during taste bud development in taste bud organoids, either in an extracellular matrix scaffold (Matrigel) or in the absence of a scaffold with suspension culture.Results: Compared to Matrigel-cultured organoids, suspension organoids showed stable expression of nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) cells, which are important for innervation. Transporters for glucose metabolism, such as GLUT1, GLUT2, and the insulin receptor (IGF1R), were observed in suspension-cultured organoids. Furthermore, immunostaining for downstream phosphorylated signaling molecules indicated that the NGFR and IGFR pathways were functional and active in the organoids.Conclusion: Based on these results, suspension-cultured organoids may provide an efficient model for mimicking in vivo taste buds compared to conventional Matrigel organoids.
The Transformative Potential of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Billing: A Global Perspective
Authors: Kilanko Victor
Published: May 2023

This paper explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing medical billing processes worldwide. As healthcare systems face increasing complexities and challenges, AI offers innovative solutions to streamline billing operations, enhance accuracy, and improve financial outcomes. By automating the claims processing workflow, AI can significantly reduce the administrative burden on healthcare providers, allowing them to focus more on patient care. AI-powered coding accuracy systems can analyze medical records and suggest appropriate billing codes, reducing coding errors and claim rejections. AI can also optimize reimbursement strategies by analyzing historical data and identifying patterns to ensure optimal reimbursement rates for healthcare providers. To address the growing concern of healthcare fraud, AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data, detect suspicious patterns, and flag potentially fraudulent activities, thus preventing financial losses. Moreover, AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can enhance patient engagement by providing personalized support, answering billing-related queries, and guiding patients through the payment process. Adoption of AI in medical billing brings various benefits, it also presents challenges such as data privacy, algorithm bias, and the need for robust infrastructure and training. Successful case studies from various healthcare settings worldwide demonstrate the tangible advantages of AI implementation, such as reduced billing errors, accelerated reimbursement cycles, and improved patient satisfaction. By harnessing the power of AI, healthcare systems can achieve greater efficiency, financial sustainability, and improved patient experiences.
Upadacitinib (Rinvoq)
Authors: CADTH
Published: May 2023

CADTH recommends that Rinvoq be reimbursed for the treatment of adults with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have had an inadequate response to a biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) or when use of those therapies is inadvisable only if certain conditions are met.

Eligibility for Rinvoq should be based on the criteria used by each of the public drug plans for reimbursement of bDMARDs for the treatment of adult with active AS who have had an inadequate response to a bDMARD, are intolerant, or who have contraindications to bDMARDs.

Rinvoq should only be reimbursed if it is prescribed by a rheumatologist. For patients with other manifestations, an ophthalmologist, gastroenterologist, or dermatologist may be consulted. Rinvoq should not be reimbursed when used in combination with bDMARDs or other Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor treatments for active AS. The cost of Rinvoq should not exceed the drug program cost of treatment with the least expensive bDMARD reimbursed for the treatment of AS.
Exploring geometrical stereoscopic aerosol top height retrieval from geostationary satellite imagery in East Asia

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Despite the importance of aerosol height information for events such as volcanic eruptions and long-range aerosol transport, spatial coverage of its
retrieval is often limited because of a lack of appropriate instruments and algorithms. Geostationary satellite observations in particular provide
constant monitoring for such events. This study assessed the application of different viewing geometries for a pair of geostationary imagers to
retrieve aerosol top height (ATH) information. The stereoscopic algorithm converts a lofted aerosol layer parallax, calculated using image-matching
of two visible images, to ATH. The sensitivity study provides a reliable result using a pair of Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) and Advanced
Geostationary Radiation Imager (AGRI) images at 40∘ longitudinal separation. The pair resolved aerosol layers above 1 km altitude
over East Asia. In contrast, aerosol layers must be above 3 km for a pair of AHI and Advanced Meteorological Imager (AMI) images at
12.5∘ longitudinal separation to resolve their parallax. Case studies indicate that the stereoscopic ATH retrieval results are consistent
with aerosol heights determined using extinction profiles from the Cloud–Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP). Comparisons between
the stereoscopic ATH and the CALIOP 90 % extinction height, defined by extinction coefficient at 532 nm data, indicated that 88.9 %
of ATH estimates from the AHI and AGRI are within 2 km of CALIOP 90 % extinction heights, with a root-mean-squared difference (RMSD) of 1.66 km. Meanwhile,
24.4 % of ATH information from the AHI and AMI was within 2 km of the CALIOP 90 % extinction height, with an RMSD of 4.98 km. The ability of
the stereoscopic algorithm to monitor hourly aerosol height variations is demonstrated by comparison with a Korea Aerosol Lidar Observation Network
dataset.

Abstract. The global trends of ocean warming, deoxygenation, and acidification are not easily extrapolated to coastal environments. Local factors, including intricate hydrodynamics, high primary productivity, freshwater inputs, and pollution, can exacerbate or attenuate global trends and produce complex mosaics of physiologically stressful conditions for organisms. In the California Current System (CCS), oceanographic monitoring programs document some of this complexity; however, data fragmentation and limited data availability constrain our understanding of when and where stressful coastal conditions manifest. Here, we undertake a large data synthesis to compile, format, and quality-control publicly available oceanographic data to create an accessible database for coastal CCS climate risk mapping, available at the National Centers for Environmental Information (Accession 0277984) under the DOI 10.25921/2vve-fh39 (Kennedy et al., 2023). With this synthesis, we combine publicly available observations and data contributed by the author team from synoptic oceanographic cruises, autonomous sensors, and shore samples with relevance to coastal ocean acidification and hypoxia (OAH) risk. This large-scale compilation includes 13.7 million observations from 67 sources. Here, we discuss the quality and composition of the synthesized dataset, the spatial and temporal distribution of available data, and examples of potential analyses. This dataset will provide a valuable tool for assessing regional and local climate risk, evaluating the efficacy and completeness of CCS monitoring efforts, and investigating spatiotemporal scales of coastal oceanographic variability.
Intercomparison of the weather and climate physics suites of a unified forecast–climate model system (GRIST-A22.7.28) based on single-column modeling
Authors: Li Xiaohan , Zhang Yi , Peng Xindong , Zhou Baiquan , Li Jian , Wang Yiming
Published: May 2023

Abstract. As a unified weather-forecast–climate model system,
Global-to-Regional Integrated forecast SysTem (GRIST-A22.7.28) currently
employs two separate physics suites for weather forecast and typical
long-term climate simulation, respectively. Previous AMIP-style experiments
have suggested that the weather (PhysW) and climate (PhysC) physics suites,
when coupled to a common dynamical core, lead to different behaviors in
terms of modeling clouds and precipitation. To explore the source of their
discrepancies, this study compares the two suites using a single-column
model (SCM). The SCM simulations demonstrate significant differences in the
simulated precipitation and low clouds. Convective parameterization is found
to be a key factor responsible for these differences. Compared with PhysC,
parameterized convection of PhysW plays a more important role in moisture
transport and rainfall formation. The convective parameterization of PhysW
also better captures the onset and retreat of rainfall events, but stronger
upward moisture transport largely decreases the tropical low clouds in
PhysW. These features are in tune with the previous 3D AMIP simulations.
Over the typical stratus-to-stratocumulus transition regime such as the
Californian coast, turbulence in PhysW is weaker than that in PhysC, and
shallow convection is more prone to be triggered and leads to larger
ventilation above the cloud layer, reducing stratocumulus clouds there.
These two suites also have intrinsic differences in the interaction between
cloud microphysics and other processes, resulting in different time step
sensitivities. PhysC tends to generate more stratiform clouds with
decreasing time step. This is caused by separate treatment of stratiform
cloud condensation and other microphysical processes, leading to a tight
interaction between macrophysics and boundary layer turbulence. In PhysW,
all the microphysical processes are executed at the same temporal scale, and
thus no such time step sensitivity was found.

Reconstruction's Lessons
Authors: Carle Susan
Published: May 2023

In the current moment in the legal struggle for racial equality in the United States, the nation seems at risk of repeating its history. The Roberts Court has failed to fulfill its charge under the Reconstruction amendments to vigorously promote and enforce civil rights protections, and the other branches of government have proved ineffectual or unwilling to step into the breach. The racist far right is rising and the national electorate appears unable to organize in favor of racial justice priorities. In recognition of these partial analogies between conditions then and now, this Article mines the history of Reconstruction and its aftermath for lessons pertinent to the racial justice struggle today. It asks what lessons racial justice activists and legal scholars might glean from that history to help them grow their tally of gains and shrink their tally of losses despite today’s less than ideal legal and political conditions. What the history of Reconstruction teaches is that legal prescription and doctrinal manipulation alone will not bring about greater racial equality; having learned that lesson from Reconstruction’s history, today’s racial justice activists and scholars should direct their efforts towards exploring what new approaches might be effective despite today’s less than optimal legal and political conditions.

A precariedade do acesso à água de qualidade em comunidades rurais difusas da região semiárida brasileira torna fundamental o incentivo ao uso de técnicas de aproveitamento de água pluvial. Durante muitos anos, a implantação de sistemas de captação de água de chuva contribuiu para suprir as necessidades dos habitantes, entretanto a padronização do volume de armazenamento comprometeu a eficiência de atendimento da demanda. Levando em consideração a importância de um dimensionamento adequado, este trabalho apresenta um método de otimização de sistemas de aproveitamento de água pluvial para fins domésticos em áreas rurais, além de um recurso simplificado de cálculo da área de captação e do volume ideal com base em duas equações. O procedimento consistiu na determinação de valores médios de fração de demanda (FD) e fração de reservação (FD), capazes de fornecer a combinação mais econômica de área de captação e volume de reservatório, atendendo, ainda, a uma demanda hídrica com pelo menos 95% de eficiência. Em seguida, notou-se a existência de forte relação positiva entre a demanda diária e as variáveis área e volume ótimos, o que proporcionou a estimativa desses valores por meio de equações lineares que dependem apenas da demanda. Ambas as técnicas de dimensionamento fornecem valores ótimos e destacam-se pela facilidade de utilização.
