Estimation of the probability risks of African swine fever outbreaks using the maximum entropy method in North Sumatra Province, Indonesia
Authors: Primatika Roza Azizah , Sudarnika Etih , Sumiarto Bambang , Basri Chaerul
Published: July 2022

Background and Aim: African swine fever (ASF) is an infectious disease and a major viral pig disease that threatens pork production in several locations globally. The mortality rate of ASF in domestic pigs is very high, causing a decrease in pig populations and significant economic losses for farmers. Environmental or ecological risk factors are the most important associated with the spread of the ASF virus. Environmental (or ecological) niche models are commonly used to estimate the probability of an event using the maximum entropy (Maxent) method. This study aimed to estimate the probability risk of future ASF outbreaks in North Sumatra, Indonesia.

Materials and Methods: Secondary data from the National Animal Health System Database (iSIKHNAS), including data on the ASF outbreaks of 2019–2020 in North Sumatra, Indonesia, were used in this study. The first analysis performed involved the identification of environmental risk factors using multiple regression analysis. The second analysis performed was the estimation of probability risk for future ASF outbreaks in North Sumatra, Indonesia, using the Maxent method. Data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel, ArcGIS version 10.5 software (ESRI, California, United States), Maxent version 3.4.4 software, and Rstudio (http://www.r-project.org/).

Results: The Maxent method was found to be highly accurate with a statistically significant area under the curve value of 0.860. The greatest contributing environmental factor identified by the model was the harbor, which contributed 57%. The range of high probability risk of future ASF outbreaks was found to be 0.723–0.84.

Conclusion: The estimation of the highest probability risk of future ASF outbreaks in North Sumatra, Indonesia, was 0.723–0.84. The most contributing environmental factor identified using the Maxent method was harbors, at 57%. This methodology can be used to carry out subsequent ASF analyses and contribute to developing prevention and control strategies in this area.
Study of NFKB Polymorphism with HPV Infection in Women of Reproductive Age Group
Authors: Singh Dr. Shubhashree Priyadarshinee , Sahu Dr Pratima Kumari , Rattan Dr Roma
Published: July 2022

Background: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is highly prevalent, with around 80% of women thought to be infected at some point. They are thought to produce proteins which inhibit the tumour suppressor protein p53 in cervical epithelial cells, allowing for uncontrolled cell division. The persistent HPV infection changes a premalignant lesion to cancerous state and this seems to be accompanied by a progressive loss of responsiveness to the NFÆ™B mediated growth inhibitory signal. This study was undertaken to provide a more precise evaluation of association of NFÆ™B -94ins/del ATTG promoter polymorphism and cancer risk. Methods: The study included 75 cases (unhealthy cervical pathology) and 75 controls (healthy normal cervix) belonging to reproductive age (15-44years) group. Cervical swab for HPV genotyping was performed in cobas x 480 and cobas z 480 analysers. DNA was extracted from EDTA blood sample using cobas DNA sample preparation kit. NFÆ™B gene polymorphism was seen by PCR-RFLP method in gel electrophoresis. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 20. Results: Among the healthy normal cervical cytology, HPV infection rate was found to be 6.6%. In cases, maximum HPV positivity was for HPV 16. Among the study population, insertion allele was seen more in both the study groups compared to deletion allele. We found del/del genotype contribution maximum among the cases with cervical pathology. Ins/del genotype was found in cases group. In unhealthy cervix, we found that ins/ins genotype was prevalent among all the HPV strain except HPV 18 followed by del/del genotype. But, among HPV 18 strain, del/del was seen more common.
Exploring the predictors of teacher retention among beginning teachers in Ethiopia
Authors: Nketsia William , Side Ali Sani , Opoku Maxwell Peprah , Gemeda Fekede Tuli
Published: July 2022

There is a global challenge to retain qualified beginning teachers across the school system. In the first 10 years of entering the profession, a large number of beginning teachers exit altogether. While high-income countries have been designing policies and discussing effective ways to retain beginning teachers, the African share of such deliberation is scanty. Using Mason and Matas’ (2015) four-capital teacher retention model (structural, social, psychological and human capital) as a conceptual framework, we studied the predictors of retention of beginning teachers in Ethiopia. A questionnaire designed on the basis of the tenets of the conceptual framework was used for the data collection. In total, 204 beginning teachers who had graduated from elite teacher training institutions were recruited for this study. The data were analysed using t-tests, analysis of variance and structural equation modelling to estimate the strengths of the relationships and direct logistical and linear regressions. The results show a positive relationship between the four indicators and the demographic variables, such as gender, pre-service training, access to professional development, level of teaching and living with family in the community, which provided additional insight into teacher retention. We discuss the need for a multifaceted approach to retaining beginning teachers in Ethiopia as well as other implications.

Der Andere in mir. Zur phantasmatischen Bildung des Selbst in der Trauerarbeit bei Derrida
Authors: Heller Till
Published: July 2022

The article focuses on the phantasmatic constitution of the self in Derrida’s deconstructive work of mourning. In contrast to Freud, Derrida does not merely analyse inner-psychic mourning processes that only occur after a concrete experience of loss which can be successfully processed. Rather, he explores the possibilities of an ‘impossible mourning’ that always-already begins before the actual loss of a desired object and never comes to a closure. Because the phantasmatic incorporation of the transcendent other both opens up and undermines the subject’s self-relation in the work of mourning, it is assigned a quasi-transcendental status: quasi-transcendental insofar as the conditions of the possibility of being oneself simultaneously mark the conditions of the impossibility of having recourse to a self-present and self-identical subject. The aim is to work out the key role of Derrida’s modification of transcendental imagination, whose syntheses are at work in the spectral images of the other that haunt us in a ghostly way. As an image of the other within me that gazes at or affects me in the imagination and thereby conditions my phantasmatic constitution as a split self, its internalised trace forms the inaccessible place of self-formation in the work of mourning.

Authors: Chakrabarty Tapas , Kumar Anand , Krishna Gopal
Published: July 2022

A taxonomic revision of the genus Dehaasia Blume is presented for the Indo-Burmese region. Four species are recognized, keyed out and treated with references, type citations, synonymy, flowering and fruiting periods, local names and use, habitat, distribution and the specimens examined. Dehassia rangamattiensis is synonymized under D. kurzii. The report of D. firma from the Andaman Islands is based on a misidentified specimen of D. kurzii. The names Dictyodaphne candolleana (basionym of D. candolleana), D. kurzii, D. rangamattiensis and Laurus incrassata (basionym of D. incrassata) are lectotypified. In addition, lectotypification of Cryptocarya cuneata (basionym of D. cuneata), native to Malesia, is appended because the species has often been mistaken for D. candolleana.
Recent Deflection Effects of Macro Components in G7 Countries and Contractionary Monetary Expansion Fact
Authors: Özker Ahmet Niyazi
Published: July 2022

This study discussed the standard criteria points that constitute the reasons for monetary expansion, primarily based on seven countries representing the G7 countries, this expansion in the monetary base brought up a structural relationship model. The fact that frequently brought up the macro fluctuations has been a crucial place as interest rates, unemployment rates and exchange rates variability as the main macro components recently. The effects of these components on economic growth have also provided an important justification for evaluating their recent significant deviations. It is seen that the commonwealth of wealth and economy of the G7 countries in the world constitutes approximately 68 per cent. In this respect, all kinds of targets for economic growth also represent a structure that targets global trade and global trade at significant scales to national income contribution values, albeit nominally. This case also shows why a balanced policy towards increasing interest rates in the recent period and an interest policy compatible with global exchange rate policies are frequently kept on the agenda. This current approach has caused different monetary policies to come to the fore, especially in these countries with a high level of wealth. Essential goals have emerged to reduce costs and turn the growing monetary base into a seigniorage income. These targets pushed the scale effect concerning monetary expansion based on these macro components to an economic growth-based projection.
Transhumanistyczna koncepcja szczęścia postczłowieka – krytyczna analiza wybranych aspektów
Authors: Wójtowicz Marek
Published: July 2022

Transhumanizm przedstawia wizję ewolucji natury ludzkiej. Ewolucja ta dokona się za sprawą rozwoju technologicznego. Jej zwieńczeniem będzie postczłowiek, który ma osiągnąć nie tylko niewyobrażalnie wysoki poziom intelektualny i możliwość cybernieśmiertelności, ale także uzyskać maksymalne szczęście. Celem przedstawionych badań była próba sprecyzowania nie całkiem klarownej idei postczłowieka oraz krytyczne odniesienie się do perspektyw jego szczęśliwej egzystencji.

Rodzina dysfunkcyjna źródłem zachowań przestępczych na przykładzie województwa opolskiego
Authors: Peterman Szymon
Published: July 2022

Poruszany problem dotyczy mechanizmu powstawania zjawiska przestępczości. W artykule podjęto próbę uchwycenia punktu zwrotnego, który powoduje wybór życia przestępczego przez osoby wzrastające w rodzinach dysfunkcyjnych. Główna teza to stwierdzenie, że jakość życia rodzinnego jest odpowiedzialna za niezgodne z normami zachowania osób pochodzących z rodzin dysfunkcyjnych. Można postawić pytanie: W jaki sposób wśród osób pochodzących z rodzin dysfunkcyjnych powstają zachowania antyspołeczne? W celu znalezienia rozwiązania tego problemu posłużono się wynikami badań empirycznych przeprowadzonych w trakcie realizacji tego projektu. Przeprowadzono je wśród czynnych zawodowo policjantów ze wszystkich jedenastu powiatów województwa opolskiego: brzeskiego, głubczyckiego, kędzierzyńsko-kozielskiego, kluczborskiego, krapkowickiego, namysłowskiego, nyskiego, oleskiego, opolskiego, prudnickiego oraz strzeleckiego. Badanie dowodzi, że w rodzinach, w których jakość życia jest niska, nieumiejętność lub brak chęci poprawy sytuacji materialnej zastępowana jest przez uzależnienie rodziców od alkoholu, zwiększa się ryzyko przemocy w rodzinie. W rezultacie może dojść do zatrzymania procesu rozwoju osobowego dziecka, a zamiast tego mogą wytworzyć się wewnętrzne mechanizmy obronne, prowadzące do alienacji społecznej lub zachowań antyspołecznych, a następnie drogi przestępczej.
Remaining human in a transhumanist world
Authors: Bugajska Anna
Published: July 2022

Given that the transhumanist vision of the world is frequently painted as desirable for people and optimistically utopian, the article’s aim is to investigate one of such visions, imagined by Scott Westerfeld in The Succession duology to see if such a utopian model accounts for the necessity of the survival of humanity. While avoiding the usual strictly dystopian and alarmist scenarios, Westerfeld’s postmortal and extropian world is rife with challenges to the transhumanist ideas, asking about the actual grounds on which future communication and cooperation would be based, and the limits of enhancement that need to be drawn not to lead to dehumanization.
Transhumanizm jako wyzwanie dla teologii. Kilka pytań
Authors: Machinek Marian
Published: July 2022

Celem artykułu jest analiza punktów styku (i konfliktu) między myślą transhumanistyczną a teologią. Poruszone zostaną cztery idee. Pierwszą jest idea postępu. Teologia wskazuje, że postęp, który jest mocno akcentowany w publikacjach autorów transhumanistycznych, może być jednak ambiwalentny. Jego wartość okazuje się dopiero w ramach analizy celów, a więc także skutków proponowanych przez transhumanistów zmian w obszarze ludzkiej natury, co jest drugą analizowaną w artykule ideą. Trzecia dotyczy samej koncepcji człowieka, która w transhumanizmie, w odróżnieniu od teologii, nie niesie w sobie żadnego potencjału normatywnego. Wreszcie ostatnią ideą jest odniesienie do Stwórcy. Odrzucając Stwórcę, ale także religię jako dziejowy hamulec i źródłociemnoty, transhumanizm pretenduje jednocześnie do zajęcia miejsca Boga i tym samym sam nabiera cech religii. Jeżeli nawet nie można odmówić transhumanistom szlachetnego zamiaru poprawienia bytu człowieka i uszczęśliwienia go, teologia odnosi się krytycznie zarówno do przesłanek, na których bazują ich wizje, jak też do metod, za pomocą których zamierzają je zrealizować.

Published: July 2022

A significant proportion of patients with chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) fail to respond to standard therapies. Recent evidence suggests that globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising treatment option; however, reports are few and limited by sample sizes. We conducted a systematic literature review to evaluate the clinical outcome of GPi-DBS for ChAc. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant articles published before August 2021. The improvement of multiple motor and nonmotor symptoms was qualitatively presented. Improvements in the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale motor score (UHDRS-MS) were also analyzed during different follow-up periods. A multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to identify potential predictors of clinical outcomes. Twenty articles, including 27 patients, were eligible. Ninety-six percent of patients with oromandibular dystonia reported significant improvement. GPi-DBS significantly improved the UHDRS-motor score at < 6 months (p < 0.001) and ≥ 6 months (p < 0.001). The UHDRS-motor score improvement rate was over 25% in 75% (15/20 cases) of patients at long-term follow-up (≥ 6 months). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that sex, age at onset, course of disease, and preoperative movement score had no linear relationship with motor improvement at long-term follow-up (p > 0.05). GPi-DBS is an effective and safe treatment in most patients with ChAc, but no reliable predictor of efficacy has been found. Oromandibular dystonia-dominant patients might be the best candidates for GPi-DBS.
Design and testing of a smart rubber stave for marine water-lubricated bearings
Authors: Yu Xiao-feng , Shuai Chang-geng , Yang Xue , Lu Gang , Liang Ce , Liu Zhuo
Published: July 2022

The water-lubricated bearing is mainly installed at the stern of the ship to support the rotation of the main shaft of the ship, which is an important component of the ship’s power plant. The rubber stave of the water-lubricated bearing acts as an elastic body, which can effectively suppress the rotational vibration of the rotating shaft and improve the shaft alignment effect. To monitor the operational status of the water-lubricated bearing at the stern of a ship, a design method of smart rubber stave for water-lubricated bearings is proposed in this article. According to the structure of the rubber stave, the packaging and protection form of the optical fiber, the forming process of the rubber stave, and the mechanical analysis were carried out to determine the distribution design principle of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in the rubber stave. Then, FBGs were packaged, protected, and implanted with an uneven distribution into the rubber stave to achieve force sensing in the bearing. With reference to the force state of the water-lubricated bearing during shipbuilding and ship operation, various types of condition monitoring tests were conducted on the smart rubber stave using an elastomer testing machine, which were to analyze the effects of load sizes, frequencies, and ambient temperatures. The tests showed that the FBGs in the rubber stave could monitor the static and dynamic loads of the bearing under the seawater environment or inland water environment below 30°C. This method can be used for the smart designing and online load condition monitoring of water-lubricated bearings.
Rock Drilling Test with a Rotary Hammer
Authors: Hashiba K. , Fukui K.
Published: July 2022

Various test methods have been proposed for obtaining rock strength; however, further research is needed on estimation methods of hard rock strength in situ. In this study, rock drilling tests were conducted with small handheld rotary hammers in a laboratory with four rocks and in situ at two sites. In spite of the fact that the weight of the rotary hammers and the applied thrust force were relatively low, a few-cm-deep hole could be drilled in about ten seconds even into the very hard rock of which uniaxial compressive strength was more than 500 MPa. During the drilling, rock dust was removed out of the hole through the helical grooves on the drill bit. The increase in temperature had little effect on bit wear, which required no air or water supply into the hole. The uniaxial compressive strengths of the rocks were estimated from the specific energy defined as the energy required to excavate a unit volume in the drilling tests. The drilling with a rotary hammer will be helpful for not only obtaining in situ rock strength in mine developments and underground constructions but also estimating strength of unknown rocks in space exploration.
Slippage Failure Probability Model Using a Measurement Method for Tack Coat Residual Application Rates in Field Core
Authors: Jeon Jongmyung , Lee Jusang , Tian Yu , Nantung Tommy E. , Lee Sangyum
Published: July 2022

This study presents the development of a probability model for pavement slippage failure. A measurement method for a tack coat residual application rate in a field core through binder extraction was developed and verified. It was found that implementing a measurement method for tack coat quality acceptance is feasible. Pavement investigations were performed on two slippage failure cases in Indiana and confirmed that the residual application rates of slippage failed sections were significantly lower than those of non-failed sections. A slippage failure probability model in terms of residual application rates was developed through binary logistic regression analysis. The model can be used to determine appropriate residual application rates in consideration of its uniformity from a distributor and to develop tack coat specifications based on slippage failure probability.
Public History in the Age of Insurrection
Authors: Murphy Brian , Owens-Murphy Katie
Published: July 2022

Public historians have struggled to take a hard line against neo-Confederate groups in theory as well as practice. This article proposes a methodological shift that can clarify the work and obligations of the public historian following the insurrection on January 6, 2021. The frame of action research positions historians as public-facing actors and advocates. The frame of restorative justice clarifies the stakes of, and stakeholders within, historical harm. We apply these frameworks to two contested sites for public history in Florence, Alabama, that revolve around the Confederacy. Finally, we use our experiences from the field to distinguish communities from counter-communities and provide strategies for making cultural institutions inhospitable to cultural insurrectionists.
“If You Are Reading It, I am Dead”
Authors: Testa Nino
Published: July 2022

This article uses oral history interviews with the family and friends of Duane Puryear to document the history of one of the most frequently displayed panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. The approaching fortieth anniversary of the Quilt and its recent acquisition by the National AIDS Memorial warrant a reexamination of how we engage with the Quilt as archive. Puryear’s panel demonstrates how we might use this enormous community art project to excavate local histories of activism in response to HIV and AIDS; it also challenges reductive political histories of the Quilt that view it as in binary opposition to histories of direct-action groups like ACT UP.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study was to analyze if both the Banister's TRIMP method and the Foster method are convergent to calculate the training loads in Taekwondo athletes. There was a total number of 8 Taekwondo athletes as participants, of which composed of 4 women and 4 men. Together, the participants performed a total number of 61 training sessions. The study also had a significant Pearson correlation found between the Banister’s TRIMP and Foster’s method (r= 0.33, p ˂ 0.01), but according to Lin’s Concordance Correlation Coefficient, the measurement was very low (Rc between 0.002 and 0.022). An individual correlation was also made through the Pearson Product-Moment between the two methods and through this it was discovered that only one participant had a significant association (r=0.812, p˂0.014), but with Lin’s Concordance Correlation Coefficient, the result was low (Rc between -0.004 and 0.037). In conclusion, both the Banister's TRIMP method and the Foster method are not convergent to measure the training loads in Taekwondo athletes.
Radiological incidence of meniscus and knee injury in ACL tear
Authors: Salman Alhassan Mohammed
Published: July 2022

Although data demonstrate the ability of the menisci to transmit load, they do not contribute to the primary stability of the knee. In absence of ACL, the menisci have shown to enhance the knee's stability in AP, varus-valgus, internal-external direction in vitro. The importance of addressing meniscal pathology associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency stems from the increased incidence of meniscal tear with chronic instability. Most of the studies showed Lateral meniscus injury with acute ACL tear
Hamstring injury prevention: the strength assessment in young soccer players
Authors: Sannicandro Italo
Published: July 2022

Aim: The hamstring strength training in youth soccer is relevant both for muscle injury prevention and for sprint performance increase. This study aim to assessment hamstring eccentric strength in young soccer players to know any lower limb strength asymmetries Methods: The sample is composed of male young soccer players Under 17 (n=14, 16,6±0,5 years, 175,8±7,1cm and 70,9±9,1 kg). To assess the hamstring eccentric strength and the lower limb eccentric strength asymmetry have been used a specific dynamometer (NordBord Hamstring Testing System, Vald Performance, Australia) with software. Every young soccer player performed a single repetition of the Nordic hamstring exercise with constraint to the Nord Bord; after about 10 minutes, instead, they performed 5 repetitions of the same exercise, without interruption. All values were acquired using NordBord software: for both assessments, were detected the eccentric strength and the lower limbs strength asymmetry. Results: The evaluation of the hamstring eccentric strength does not show substantial and statistically significant differences in the single test with reference to the peak parameter. In the comparison between the average eccentric strength expressed in the 5 repetitions there is a statistically significant difference between the values expressed by the two limbs (p<0-05), and an increase in the value asymmetry is observed (15,8±5,4%). Conclusion: This difference between the two tests leads us to think that the fatigue potential effect on the hamstring muscles deriving from the number of repetitions requested, can accentuate and highlight to a greater extent the differences between the hamstrings of the two lower limbs in the young player.
Prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in brazilian professional soccer athletes
Authors: Sadigursky David
Published: July 2022

Objective: To determine the prevalence and characteristics of musculoskeletal injuries in the male soccer athletes from a Brazilian northeast professional team, Esporte Clube Bahia, during the 2017 season. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the occurrence of sports injuries was carried out through a survey of the medical records. The athletes were separated into two groups: those who did not suffer injuries and those who did. The epidemiological data, minutes played and number of matches were described by measures of central tendency such as mean, mode and median, and their dispersion measures, by standard deviation. The number, type and degree of injuries, the anatomical location, moment of occurrence, laterality and position in which the athlete played were described by absolute and relative frequency. Results: Data were collected from 29 athletes who played for the club in 2017, with an overall mean age of 26.67. It was observed that the difference between means of age is significantly different between the groups of athletes who suffered injury and those who did not (P=0.0002). The age group with the highest number of injuries was from 26 to 33 year old. The average number of matches of the athletes who suffered injuries was on average 3.12 higher (P=0.0122) than those who did not, as well as the athletes who suffered injuries played on average 1184.8 minutes more than those who did not suffer injuries (P=0.0120). The most prevalent injury was muscle strain, with 27.59% (n=8), followed by sprain and myalgia, both with 13.79% (n=4), contusion and rupture, corresponding to 10.34% (n=3). Conclusion: The study looked at the high frequency of musculoskeletal injuries in current soccer, especially strain, myalgia and sprain. The high prevalence of injuries during training and, especially, during the second half of the official matches are also noteworthy.
Methodology and exercises to reduce the hamstring injury risk: from literature knowledges to the field
Authors: Sannicandro Italo , Cofano Giacomo , Traficante Paolo
Published: July 2022

Injury prevention is a topic that has received greater attention in recent years: in fact, even if knowledge and research about prevention has increased, the injury incidence remains very high, especially as regards the hamstring district. As can be seen from the scientific literature, there are many studies that have described risk factors, but above all what strategies can be used to decrease this incidence through the prevention exercises. The exercise considered the gold standard for the hamstring injuries prevention is the Nordic hamstring although the literature highlights the particular complexity of the anatomical district of hamstrings. For these reasons, it seems simplistic and reductive to assume that one exercise is sufficient. In this study is proposed further exercises proposed in the literature that can integrate the traditional Nordic hamstring and help to activate more fully all the muscle heads that make up the hamstrings. In conclusion, in a prevention session or in a strength session, in addition to the Nordic hamstring exercise, other exercises could be included, such as the Laying Kick, the Standing Kick, the Nordic bump, the Nordic with return, the Cranes and the Cranes return.

Prognostic Value of Myocardial Blush Grade in ST-elevation MI: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Vera Cruz Patrick , Palmes Patricio , Bacalangco Nadine
Published: July 2022

Background: Ineffective myocardial perfusion despite angiographic success after angioplasty occurs frequently and is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Hence, this study determined whether myocardial perfusion measured by myocardial blush grade (MBG) identifies ST-elevation MI (STEMI) patients at high risk for poor outcomes after successful angioplasty. Methods: The search employed strategies designed for research databases. An article was eligible if it included adults who underwent coronary angioplasty for STEMI, post-angioplasty MBG was assessed, and mortality or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were determined. Risk for bias was assessed using the Quality In Prognosis Studies tool and forest plots in a Mantel-Haenszel fixed effects model were created using RevMan5.4. Results/discussion: Eight observational studies with an overall low risk of bias were included, involving 8,044 patients. MBG 0/1 with no to poor myocardial perfusion had a negative prognostic value for mortality (OR 2.68; 95% CI [2.22–3.23]) and MACE (OR 1.20; 95% CI [1.01–1.41]). Furthermore, MBG 2 with moderate myocardial perfusion and MBG 3 with normal myocardial perfusion were associated with increased survival with a logHR of 0.47 (95% CI [0.43–0.52]) and 0.20 percutaneous coronary intervention (95% CI [0.18–0.23]). These results imply MBG is a useful prognostic marker for STEMI patients. Conclusion: MBG 0/1 after primary angioplasty is a strong negative prognostic marker for long-term all-cause mortality and MACE among STEMI patients, and a post-primary angioplasty MBG of 2 or 3 is a robust prognostic marker for long-term survival.

Published: July 2022

Background: The prognostic value of diastolic dysfunction estimates in clinical settings is not well established. We aimed to evaluate the impact of the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging recommendations on estimates of diastolic dysfunction and predicting cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes and hypertension. Methods: In total, 111 patients with diabetes and hypertension without a known history of cardiovascular diseases were enrolled. All patients had preserved left ventricular ejection fraction on echocardiography at screening. Echocardiography was performed at baseline. The 2009 and 2016 algorithms were applied in diastolic function assessment. All patients were followed up for 1 year to assess clinical outcomes. Results: There were 65 (58.6%) female patients. The mean age was 59.86 ± 7.45 years, and the mean duration of diabetes was 10.5 ± 5.41 years. Fifty-five (50.5%) patients had left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography. The prevalence of diastolic dysfunction was lower and that of indeterminate diastolic function was higher with 2016 recommendations. Concordance between 2016 and 2009 recommendations was poor with a reclassification rate of 41.4%. No patients diagnosed with indeterminate and normal diastolic function using the 2016 algorithm and diastolic dysfunction using the 2009 algorithm developed major adverse cardiac events at 1 year. Two of 11 patients diagnosed with diastolic dysfunction using both recommendations and two of five patients diagnosed with diastolic dysfunction and indeterminate diastolic function using 2016 and 2009 recommendations, respectively, developed major adverse cardiac events at 1 year. The 2016 algorithm showed better accuracy in predicting major adverse cardiac events at 1 year. Conclusion: The updated 2016 criteria detect more advanced diastolic dysfunction cases and predict 1-year cardiovascular outcomes. Further studies are warranted to investigate the prognostic impact of these criteria. Trial registration number: NMRR-16-436-29619.

Design Patterns for a Knowledge-Driven Analytical Platform
Authors: Zayakin Viktor , Lyadova Lyudmila , Rabchevskiy Evgeny
Published: July 2022

The development and support of knowledge-based systems for experts in the field of social network analysis (SNA) is complicated because of the problems of viability maintenance that inevitably emerge in data intensive domains. Largely this is the case due to the properties of semi-structured objects and processes that are analyzed by data specialists using data mining techniques and others automated analytical tools. In order to be viable a modern knowledge-based analytical platform should be able to integrate heterogeneous information, present it to users in an understandable way and to support tools for functionality extensibility. In this paper we introduce an ontological approach to information integration and propose design patterns for developing analytical platform core functionality such as ontology repository management, domain-specific languages (DSLs) generation and source code round-trip synchronization with DSL-models.

Authors: Perminov Andrey , Turdakov Denis , Belyaeva Oksana
Published: July 2022

The work is devoted to improving the quality of the results of image segmentation of documents of various scientific articles and legal acts by neural network models by learning using modified loss functions that take into account the features of images of the selected subject area. The analysis of existing loss functions is carried out, as well as the development of new functions that operate both with the coordinates of the bounding boxes and using information about the pixels of the input image. To assess the quality, a neural network segmentation model with modified loss functions is trained, and a theoretical assessment is carried out using a simulation experiment showing the convergence rate and segmentation error. As a result of the study, rapidly converging loss functions were created that improve the quality of document image segmentation using additional information about the input data.

En ese marco, examina la deriva autoritaria correlacionada, así como la crisis civilizatoria en que se inscribe el proceso todo.
¿DE QUÉ SE HABLA EN LA ACADEMIA CUANDO SE DICE “NEOLIBERALISMO”? REFLEXIONES SOBRE UN CONCEPTO
Authors: Flórez-Estrada Pimentel María
Published: July 2022

En este artículo reconstruyo y analizo los cambios epistémicos que produjeron el liberalismo y el desarrollo del capitalismo en la modernidad, los cuales trastornaron de un modo significativo las identidades de hombres y de mujeres, el imaginario sobre los lazos sociales y las relaciones de parentesco, así como el horizonte de posibilidades. Además, repaso críticamente la genealogía del concepto de “neoliberalismo” con el fin de problematizar su uso por la academia y recuperar la utilidad de las ideas y de los valores liberales para el feminismo y para los movimientos de mujeres, los cuales, en el siglo xxi, continúan bregando por obtener derechos elementales, como por ejemplo, el derecho al trabajo en igualdad de condiciones.

Adding Chinese to a multilingual terminological resource
Authors: Han Zhiwei , L’Homme Marie-Claude
Published: July 2022

Although there is a general consensus about the importance of providing access to combinatorial information in specialized dictionaries and term banks, few terminological resources actually record collocations. More importantly, since most terminological resources are concept-based, their structures are not adapted to the description of this linguistic phenomenon. This paper presents a methodology and descriptive model designed to include Chinese collocations in a multilingual  resource which focuses on environment terminology. The methodology is corpusbased and the descriptive model (based on Explanatory and Combinatorial Lexicology (Mel’?uk et al., 1995)) aims to account for the lexico-semantic properties of collocations. We first comment on the characteristics of Chinese collocations that need to be taken into consideration and that can differ from collocations in other languages. Then, we describe the DiCoEnviro, a multilingual terminological resource on the environment, and the methodology devised to compile it. We then focus on collocations and explain how some parts of the methodology for their collection and lexicographical description need to be adapted to Chinese.
Efficacy of Acellular Dermal Matrix in Soft Tissue Augmentation Around Dental Implants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Yaghini Jaber , Mogharehabed Ahmad , Feizi Awat , Afshari Zohreh
Published: July 2022

This study was done to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the studies on the efficacy of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in increasing the soft tissue thickness (STT) and keratinized mucosal width (KMW) around dental implants. The PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases were searched by July 2020 to retrieve relevant studies. Depending upon the heterogeneity of included studies, the weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CI was calculated using either fixed or random-effects model. Based on the meta-analysis of 6 studies, the effect of ADM on STT and KMW was significant (WMD: 1.07 [95% CI: 0.34–1.79], P = .004, and WMD: 1.99 [95% CI: 0.88–3.09], P < .001, respectively). Further, a comparison between the efficacy of the ADM and the control group, which included the autogenous soft tissue augmentation techniques, showed no statistically significant differences between groups (STT: WMD: 0.24 [95% CI: −0.26 to 0.74], P = .161 and KMW: WMD: −0.23 [95% CI: −0.68 to 0.22], P = .324). The subgroup analysis showed that simultaneous augmentation and implant placement were increased by 0.23 mm in the KMW, and the placement of ADM around loaded implants caused 0.5 mm decrease in the KMW, which was not statistically significant. Accordingly, it is possible to substitute ADM for soft tissue augmentation around dental implants.
