Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

As the use of HIV surveillance data becomes a more integral part of national care indicators and ongoing patient engagement strategies, accurate, complete, and timely data are crucial. The ATraTM Black Box is an electronic privacy-assuring system developed by Georgetown University (GU) which allows for the secure and streamlined exchange of data between public health jurisdictions.

OBJECTIVE

In 2018, GU was awarded a 5-year grant from CDC, PS18-1805 (1805), to de-duplicate persons across HIV surveillance jurisdictions. This paper outlines the processes GU undertook to engage public health jurisdictions and provides results of the Black Box matching sessions through the end of 2023.

METHODS

GU recruited jurisdictions for participation in the project and developed communication plans and documentation to assist jurisdictions with participating in quarterly matching sessions of the Black Box. GU surveyed jurisdictions to determine technical assistance needs and satisfaction with the project and held virtual and in-person meetings.

RESULTS

As of October 2023, GU had enrolled 40 public health jurisdictions into 1805 with signed data sharing agreements, and 75% of persons living with diagnosed HIV (PLWDH) in the US reside in these jurisdictions. Through the end of 2023, GU has conducted 21 quarterly matching sessions of the Black Box, processing over 2.1M records in the November 2023 session.

CONCLUSIONS

The implementation of the Black Box for sharing HIV surveillance data across jurisdictions has resulted in decreased staff time needed to update information on PLWDH. This project has improved the quality of key HIV surveillance data that are needed to measure progress on key HIV indicators at the local and national level.
The Implementation Approach of Ideological and Political Education in College English Based on the Production-oriented Approach
Authors: Su Xiaomei , Liu Min
Published: April 2024

Based on the “Production-oriented Approach”, this paper takes the textbook “New Horizon College English (Third Edition) Viewing, Listening & Speaking” as the carrier of ideological and political teaching of the course, aiming to investigate how to explore the ideological and political elements of the college English course, and how to combine the college English course with the ideological and political elements to realize the integration of the knowledge system and the value system. Methodologically, this paper conducted questionnaire surveys with 55 non-English majors in an international studies university and carried out a semester-long teaching experiment. The findings reveal that the students have a high degree of acceptance of ideological and political teaching based on the theory of “Production-oriented Approach” (POA) in college English courses. The implementation approach explored in this study is to integrate the “ideological and political education through courses” into college English teaching from the aspects of motivating, enabling, assessing, and ultimately integrating the value shaping, knowledge transfer, and ability cultivation, which not only provides more possible implementation approaches to improve college English teaching quality, but also offers more possibilities for the improvement of college English teaching. This study is expected to provide more useful inspirations and references for ideological and political education in college English courses.
Research on Short Term Prediction of Electricity Demand in Hubei Province
Authors: Guo Xinwei , Kong Qingbao
Published: April 2024

The balance of electricity supply and demand is the basic condition for promoting the economic development of our country and improving the living standards of the people, and scientific forecasting of electricity demand is the premise of ensuring the balance of electricity supply and demand. Hubei Province is superior in geographical location, and its electricity demand and economic aggregate both rank high in the country, but due to the direct impact of the epidemic, its electricity demand has been affected. This paper uses OLS regression to obtain the linear regression equation of the three indicators of GDP and the proportion of the secondary industry structure before the epidemic from 2005 to 2018, and uses the Gray Forecast Model-assisted scenario analysis method to analyze the electricity consumption of Hubei Province under the influence of multiple factors, and predicts the electricity consumption of Hubei Province from 2019 to 2021 after removing the impact of the epidemic, and makes a short-term forecast of the electricity demand of the province from 2024 to 2029.
Desigualdad de género y violencia contra las mujeres en México durante la pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Casique Rodríguez Irene Regina , Castro Pérez Roberto
Published: April 2024

"En este capítulo abordaremos el problema de la violencia hacia las mujeres durante la pandemia de covid-19 en México. En la primera parte se presentará un breve estado del conocimiento en el que se argumentará lo que está bien establecido en la literatura científico-social internacional: que el origen último de la violencia contra las mujeres radica en la desigualdad de género. Plantearemos entonces la hipótesis de que la pandemia ha venido a profundizar las diferencias de género e ilustraremos este punto echando mano de información disponible referente a múltiples aspectos, como la pérdida y la recuperación del empleo (ambas dimensiones desventajosas para las mujeres), así como el incremento de las horas de trabajo doméstico y de cuidados en el hogar a raíz del inicio de la cuarentena. . Una vez establecido lo anterior, exploraremos las evidencias existentes (cualitativas y estadísticas) sobre los niveles de la violencia contra las mujeres en este marco de desigualdades ampliadas. Construiremos nuestro análisis con base en la revisión de diversos indicadores de desigualdad de género en el ámbito laboral (participación en el empleo, tiempo disponible para la actividad laboral y pérdida del ingreso laboral), en el ámbito educativo (abandono escolar, diferencias de género en el proceso educativo) y en las tareas de cuidado (tiempo destinado a los quehaceres del hogar y tareas de cuidados). Y de manera central examinaremos varios indicadores de violencias contra las mujeres (percepciones de inseguridad en el hogar, expresiones de violencias de pareja, llamadas a números de emergencia por situaciones de violencia doméstica y de violencias contra las mujeres, percepciones sobre cambios durante la pandemia en los conflictos y violencias contra la mujer en el hogar y feminicidios).

Published: April 2024

This study investigates the dynamics of equity networks in Mexico from 2018 to 2023, focusing on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodological steps include calculating stock returns, estimating annual GARCH models, constructing lower-tailed dependency matrices, and forming networks based on these matrices. The characteristics of the resulting networks are described. In addition, 10,000 Erdos-Reyni simulations are performed to estimate GNAR models up to order two, selecting the best estimates according to AIC, BIC, and llk criteria. The predictive performance of GNAR models compared to univariate AR and VAR models is evaluated. These stages help to better understand the interconnection between Mexican financial markets, offering valuable insights for risk management and decision-making.

Authors: Torres Torres Felipe , Rojas Martínez Agustín
Published: April 2024

Con la entrada en vigor del entonces Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN), México registró una rápida expansión de la oferta de alimentos y bebidas altamente industrializados. Esto transformó los esquemas de abasto y distribución, y generó también cambios en el patrón alimentario. El objetivo de este trabajo es explicar cómo estas transformaciones llevaron a la configuración de un esquema híbrido de distribución y consumo, que impactó en el gasto, la frecuencia y las cantidades consumidas de alimentos ultraprocesados y de comida rápida en los hogares mexicanos durante el periodo 2000-2020. Este modelo híbrido se asocia al incremento de enfermedades como la obesidad y crónico degenerativas.

Formulation and Optimization of Omeprezole Floating Tablet by Wet Granulation Technique
Authors: Kaushal Sahil
Published: April 2024

Omaprezole is a proton pump inhibitor, antacid drug. It is categorized as class II in BCS system of classification of drugs. Omaprazole inhibits the H(+)-K(-) ATPase in the proton pump of gastric parietal cells and highly effective inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. Floating tablet is nowadays considered as one of the best method to enhance the retention time of tablet in stomach. To get a better dissolution rate, the retention time of Omaprazole is enhanced by the floating technique. The aim of the work is to formulate the floating tablet of Omaprazole and evaluation of tablets invitro performance. The floating tablets are prepared by using two different polymers; HPMC K15, HPMC K100. Wet granulation method was used to prepare tablet. The polymers added in different ratios. The increasing concentration of polymers is responsible for enhancement of drug content and percent yield due to increase in the swallability of polymer.Invitro drug release study was performed using United State Pharmacopoeia (USP) type II dissolution test apparatus employing paddle stirrer at 50 rpm using 900ml of 0.1 N HCL buffer maintained at 37⁰C±0.5⁰C as the dissolution medium. The FTIR, DSC studies of Omaprazole floating tablet indicated the phase inversion of Omaprazole from crystalline to amorphous form. The F3 formulation show increased drug release as compare to pure drug in 24 hrs. It can be concluded that the floating tablet of Omaprazole prepared with mixture of HPMC K15 and HPMC K100 has greater retention time than pure drug and marketed formulation.
Playful Characteristics of a Six-Yard Straw Rope
Authors:   The Society Of Korean Oral Literature, Sim Woo Jang
Published: April 2024

The folktale Six-yard [seo-bal] Straw Rope is unique. Its formal characteristic of cumulative repetition is prominent, and the story is well-developed, making it seem sufficiently open to interpretation. However, discussing the meaning is not as easy as anticipated. This is because the coherence of characters and the causality of events, often emphasized when understanding works centered on content, is lacking, and the structure of the ending is dispersed. This study addresses these issues by focusing on the formal characteristics of the work; it seeks to reinterpret these formal features from a playful perspective.
The Six-yard Straw Rope follows a format similar to phrase-tail linking folk songs. The gradual exchange process from the six-yard straw rope to the maiden unfolds as a weaving play characterized by phrase-tail linking. The key in narrativizing lies in ‘creating a situation,’ which entails crafting a specific and appropriate situation where two objects can be exchanged. Ultimately, Six-yard Straw Rope is created by aptly weaving various situations where low- and high-value items can be exchanged into a narrative. This study names it the ‘Situation-Weaving Play.’ The lack of consistency in character portrayal and causality in event development and the dispersed structure of the resolution all stem from the playful nature of the work.
The playful characteristic of the Six-yard Straw Rope is deeply related to the situational thinking encouraged in oral culture. Utilizing common objects found in everyday spaces to create appropriate situations in folktales is the ultimate play that enhances situational thinking in oral culture. Folktales with a situational play abound beyond Six-yard Straw Rope, with Mole’s Wedding being a prime example. The charm of situational play, based on situational thinking, lies in the fact that humble objects like a six-yard straw rope can become a maiden or silk when well combined with situations, and even a humble mole can become the finest groom in the world under various situations.
Examination of the Transmission Aspect and Meaning Changes of Folk Tales of the Origin of “Foxrain”: The Connection Between “A Fox Is Getting Married” and “A Tiger Is Getting Married”
Authors:   The Society Of Korean Oral Literature, Oh Jeong-Mi
Published: April 2024

‘Foxrain’ is “rain that comes for a while and stops, on a day when there is sunshine” and is an expression similar to idioms such as ‘fox is getting married’ and ‘tiger is getting married’. Until now, the public had little interest in ‘foxrain’. However, in recent years, on days when it rains, ‘foxrain’ has become more common due to global climate change. The public has become more interested and raised questions about its origins. Why does the word ‘foxrain’, which is a combination of “animal name” and ‘rain’, explain the paradoxical situation where it rains even though the day is sunny? Words for animals form the oldest vocabulary of all the world's languages and reflect the ideas and values o​​f unique ethnic groups and their cultures. Also, the combination of ‘animal name’ and ‘verb + adjective’, which are special components of idiomatic phrases, can be debated from a narrative perspective.
This research looked for traces of the origin story through a questionnaire survey and investigated the public's perception of ‘foxrain’. As a result, we were able to discover new idioms and the preference for idioms by age group. From the past until now, foxes have shown potential as a prototype for stories. In the past, it was simply a expression to describe the weather, but now it has been expanded to include an emotional concept through the linking of contexts. Especially new new media is currently reproducing its story of origin and regaining its status as a cultural prototype. Tracking such idiom changes would also be a meaningful task in the oral literary field.
This study explores the meaning of idiomatic expressions through the story of the origin of ‘foxrain’, used in literature and media in response to the demands of the times. It considers the relationships between similar idiomatic expressions and their origins. We will also look at the meaning changes that accompany changes in media.
Clinical case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in a newborn
Authors: Starevskaya S. V. , Ilyina N. A. , Prusakova K. V.
Published: April 2024

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease characterized by the accumulation of protein-lipid complexes in the alveoli due to impaired utilization of surfactant by alveolar macrophages; it is most often idiopathic and occurs in healthy men and women aged 30–50 years. The congenital form of PAP is extremely rare, its diagnosis is complicated by the fact that it is impossible to conduct functional lung tests in newborns, and lung biopsy is used extremely rarely. Against this background, data obtained by computed tomography (CT) of the lungs of newborns are of particular importance. The article presents a clinical case of treatment of a newborn with respiratory failure (RF) and signs of pulmonary hypertension, who was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Children’s City Multidisciplinary Clinical Specialized Center for High Medical Technologies at the age of the first day of life. The article reflects the role of computed tomography in diagnosing the causes of respiratory failure in newborns, as well as the importance of anamnesis and a thorough clinical examination of patients. The presented clinical case demonstrates the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of newborns with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.

INTRODUCTION: Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders, the interest of scientists in the occurrence and pathophysiology of insomnia is growing every year. In particular, the brain connectome and its changes in sleep disorders are being actively studied based on the data of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging.

OBJECTIVE: The study is to assess changes in brain connectomes in patients with chronic insomnia using functional magnetic resonance imaging.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: 53 people took part in the study, of which 34 patients who applied for a somnologist’s appointment at the Almazov National Research Medical Center of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation were diagnosed with chronic insomnia, confirmed by polysomnography. All participants of the study had an MRI of the brain on tomographs with a magnetic field induction force of 3.0 Tl at two time points.

Statistics: Statistical analysis of MRI data was performed using MathLab 2018a, CONN v1.7. Descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion were used to process the materials, depending on the characteristics of the data, the MannWhitney U-criterion and Pearson Chi-squared were used to analyze demographic data.

RESULTS: The study, neuroimaging markers of insomnia were identified and changes in the functional networks of the brain were described in patients with insomnia and a group of healthy volunteers at different time points.

DISCUSSION: The obtained functional data demonstrate ambiguous results. Both an increase and a decrease in the functional connectivity of the medial prefrontal cortex with the structures of the visual analyzer, an increase in functional connections with the temporal pole, in particular with the hippocampus, is determined, which indicates changes in the consolidation of visually encoded information. The relative limitation in this study can be considered the heterogeneity of the age composition of the group.

CONCLUSSION: Resting state functional MRI of the brain is a key neuroimaging method in determining the functional connections of the brain in patients with sleep disorders, which allows us to establish a impairment of functional interaction between brain structures involved in the processes of falling asleep and maintaining sleep.
Diagnostic capabilities of PET/CT with 18F-DOPA in biochemical recurrence of medullary thyroid carcinoma: a retrospective study
Authors: Tsentr N. V. , Zyryanova A. A. , Rusnak M. A. , Ryzhkova D. V.
Published: April 2024

INTRODUCTION: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTС) is a rare neuroendocrine malignant neoplasm of the thyroid gland. In most cases, sporadic MTС is diagnosed at late stages due to the absence of specific symptoms. The main method of treatment of MTС is surgical — thyroidectomy and in most cases cervical lymphodissection. Current international guidelines suggest the use of basal calcitonin levels and cancer embryonic antigen (CEA) as markers of biochemical recurrence. In biochemical recurrence of the disease, it is advisable to search for tumor foci regardless of the level of cancer markers. Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) has the highest sensitivity and specificity for searching for local recurrence and distant metastases. Anatomical imaging methods (computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) have suboptimal sensitivity and specificity in detection of a recurrent tumor.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the diagnostic capabilities of PET/CT with 18F-DOPA in patients with biochemical recurrence of medullary thyroid carcinoma, depending on the concentration of calcitonin in blood plasma.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: To evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of PET/CT with 18F-DOPA in patients with biochemical recurrence of medullary thyroid carcinoma, 81 PET/CT studies were analyzed in patients after thyroidectomy. In most cases (76/81), at the time of the study, patients had elevated basal calcitonin levels (>10 pg/ml, including in 52/81 cases >150 pg/ml), which corresponded to a biochemical recurrence of the disease. In 6 cases, the calcitonin level was <10 pg/ml. PET/CT results were processed by visual image analysis, measurement of a semi-quantitative indicator of the maximal standardized level of radiopharmaceutical accumulation normalized to lean body mass (SUVlbm max) and the total volume of PET-positive tumor tissue (metabolic tumor volume).

RESULTS: In 41 studies, foci of pathological accumulation of 18F-DOPA were identified, corresponding to recurrent tumor foci. DOPA-negative results in patients with elevated calcitonin levels were regarded as false negative. The highest sensitivity of the method was achieved at calcitonin levels >150 pg/ml. A noticeable positive correlation was found between the concentration of basal serum calcitonin, the number of pathological foci of 18F-DOPA hyperaccumulation and the total metabolic volume of tumor tissue. In most cases of biochemical recurrence, the PET method was superior to the CT method in detecting recurrent tumor foci.

CONCLUSION: PET/CT with 18F-DOPA is the most informative method for molecular and structural imaging in patients with biochemical recurrence of medullary thyroid carcinoma. The results of the study directly correlate with the level of basal calcitonin in the blood.
World War I and Identity Crisis of Russian Germans
Authors: Erokhina Olga V. , Shaidurov Vladimir N.
Published: April 2024

The authors consider the position of Russian Germans in the empire, who during World War I became victims of the foreign policy circumstance. There is analyzed the process of the transformation of the state-ethnic identity of the Germans through the identification of factors that had a psychological impact on them and contributed to the formation of a “negative” identity in their environment. The sources for the study are the letters of military doctor F.O. Krause and Russian Germans who served on the Caucasian front, as well as German colonists from various provinces of the Russian Empire; decrees and orders of the military and civil administration, periodical materials; office correspon- dence between ministries and other materials stored in the central and regional archives of the Russian Federation. The study shows that the rise in nationalist sentiments in Russian society and the implementation of anti-German policy in the country exerted significant psychological pressure on Russian Germans. Due to this, during World War I they found themselves in a “new reality.” The authors come to the conclusions that influenced by numerous factors, Russian Germans had to choose various ways to preserve their identity: changing the name, emigrating, completely immersing themselves in their professional activities.
To the Question of the Methodology for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Integration Associations on the Example of ASEAN and EAEU
Authors: Martynova E. S.
Published: April 2024

This study is aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the EAEU and ASEAN taking into account the dynamics of their development as well as identify the features of methodological approaches using for assessing the effectiveness of integration associations.

Aim. A comparative analysis of ASEAN and EAEU in terms of the effectiveness of these associations, as well as an analysis of existing methodological approaches for assessing the effectiveness of regional integration structures.

Tasks. Carry out monitoring of existing methods of assessing the effects of international economic integration and approaches of assessing the effectiveness of integration associations in general. To identify the “weaknesses” of the applied methodological approaches and to formulate practical recommendations for an objective and comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of international integration associations.

Methods. The article uses the comparative analysis method, SWOT analysis method, the gravity method and a system of indicators of Eurasian integration.

Results. We have to admit that there is still no methodology that allows to compare the effectiveness of various integration blocks correctly. Therefore, it is advisable to evaluate integration associations only comprehensively taking into account not only economic indicators but also political factors.

Conclusion. At the moment there is no comprehensive methodology that would allow to compare the effectiveness of various integration structures and intergovernmental organizations in terms of clearly defined quantitative and qualitative indicators. The study revealed that all applied methods have a number of errors that complicate an objective assessment. The lack of relevant data and statistics on a number of key parameters, the complexity of accounting and analysis of intangible factors of production and cooperation, ignoring possible negative effects from integration and a number of other problems make it impossible to build a comprehensive methodology for assessing the effectiveness of regional integration.
Legal Regulation of Parallel Import in the States of the Eurasian Region
Authors: Kirilenko V. P. , Guseinova D. M.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of regulating parallel imports in the countries of the Eurasian region, which is significant in the conditions of the modern world economy. The relevance of this issue is related to the economic sanctions applied to such states of the Eurasian region as the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. The legal regulation of issues of protection of intellectual property rights in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, and Azerbaijan is analyzed. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, as well as legal acts regulating the rights of both copyright holders and importers and consumers, who are subject to the consequences of certain decisions of copyright holders who do not consent to the import of goods into different states.

Aim. Research of the legal regulation of the institution of parallel imports in the states of the Eurasian region in the context of economic sanctions.

Tasks. Analysis of regulations governing the protection of intellectual property rights in the states of the Eurasian region, research of the main directions of parallel imports in the states of the Eurasian region, as well as identification of the main legal problems associated with the legalization of parallel imports in the region.

Methods. Comparative legal and cross-temporal analysis of international and national regulations in the field of antitrust, copyright and customs law, as well as the study and analysis of general scientific literature and the formation of one’s own conclusions during the research.

Results. As a rule, the states of the Eurasian region have established the national principle of exhaustion of rights to a trademark, and the international principle is used as an exception for certain groups of goods. The legalization of parallel imports raises several formal questions about the compliance of permission to import without the consent of the copyright holder with the international obligations of various states.

Conclusions. In connection with the introduction of economic sanctions against some states of the Eurasian region, parallel imports are an effective mechanism for protecting the domestic market from abuses by copyright holders who unreasonably deny importers the right to distribute goods. Also, one of the methods to neutralize the consequences of sanctions regulation is to use the markets of other countries in the Eurasian region, which do not directly prohibit parallel imports.

Aim. To substantiate the need for finding new ways to interact with the target audience, as well as the transition from the reactive principle of crisis response to a system for preventing and resolving crisis situations based on a scientific approach and advanced information technologies.

Tasks. To reveal the importance of transparency of current data on the boundaries and regions of collective security of the CSTO cognitive security in conditions of escalation and psychological pressure from the outside. Propose a new direction for the development of the official websites of the Organization.

Methods. The study was carried out from the perspective of a civilizational and historical approach, systemic and critical analysis.

Results. An original interpretation of the cognitive role and inclusiveness of publicly available data published on the website of an international security organization is presented.

Conclusions. The multifactorial scientific search for reliable information and the public availability of information on the issues of the regions and borders of the CSTO is acquiring increasing theoretical and practical importance. It is advisable to consider the situation on the borders and in the regions of collective security of the CSTO through the prism of spatial-geographical, military-political and socioeconomic factors. Activating the cognitive role, transparency and inclusiveness of published open information about the activities of the CSTO are promising ways to build up the Organization’s potential in a hybrid war.

Published: April 2024

With the accelerated pace of legal globalization, the study of Chinese legal terms has received great attention and promotion. As an important part of legal research and practice, the accuracy and standardization of Chinese legal terms directly affect the effective implementation of laws and the smoothness of international cooperation. This study analyzes the development process, usage context and evolution rules of Chinese legal terms in the last hundred years (from 1923 to 2023), excavates the connotation and evolution path of legal terms, explores the core factors affecting the change of legal terms, and discusses the correlation between the process of Chinese legal reform and the evolution of legal terms. The development of Chinese legal terms is closely related to the reform of China's legal system, which reflects the gradual improvement and internationalization trend of China's legal system. Based on the comprehensive use of comparative legal language and semantics methods, this study predicts the possible trends and challenges of the future development of legal terms, and provides a theoretical basis for the standardization and international exchange of legal terms in China, provides valuable theoretical data for the field of legal linguistics, and expands a new perspective for the study of legal terms.
Status of Association Member and Status to Purchase a Unit of Structure in the ACT ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF URBAN AREAS AND RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS: Focused on the Supreme Court Decision 2023. 6. 29, 2022Du56586, etc.
Authors:   Wonkwang University Legal Research Institute has, Joung Youn Boo
Published: April 2024

The law responsible for the biggest axis of new housing supply is the ACT ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF URBAN AREAS AND RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS (hereinafter referred to as the “Urban Improvement Act”). The Redevelopment Project and the Reconstruction Project are very close to people's lives among the Improvement Projects stipulated in the Urban Improvement Act. In these cases, the fundamental issue is whether the status of the Association Member and the Status to Purchase a Unit of Structure are recognized since the Improvement Projects are implemented by supplying new housing to those who participated as an Association Member.
The Urban Improvement Act also has provisions concerning the Status of Association Member and limits the Right to Purchase a Unit of Structure. This is to restrain the inflow of speculators and protect the property rights of existing association members by limiting changes in the number of members and splitting shares. However, there are still various cases in the Improvement Projects. And the court's ruling on individual cases appeared to be an inconsistent result. The working community on the Improvement Projects has been quite embarrassed by that.
It is difficult to find academic research on it, even though the legal situation regarding the recognition of the Status of Association Member and the Status to Purchase a Unit of Structure is not stable. Therefore, this paper examines the validity of the cases—the Supreme Court Decision 2023. 6. 29, 2022Du56586, etc.—that are representative cases concerning the Status of Association Member and the Status to Purchase a Unit of Structure. In particular, the Supreme Court Decision 2023. 6. 29, 2022Du56586 dealt with not only the case where one person owns a number of housings but also the situation where one household owns a number of housings as the major issues. This paper analyzes the main arguments in the precedents above. For example: (1) determination of the Status of Association Member and the Status to Purchase a Unit of Structure; (2) overlapping application of the household standard regulation and individual standard regulation; and (3) statutory interpretation.
O professor de educação física e os entraves na escolarização de alunos com deficiência
Authors: Santos Francianne Farias dos , Ferreira Dorimar Gomes , Santos João Otacilio Libardoni dos
Published: April 2024

No contexto escolar, a inclusão nas aulas de Educação Física (EF) deve oferecer ao aluno a oportunidade de frequentar e ter educação de qualidade atendendo as suas necessidades. Assim, o presente estudo elencou como objetivo: investigar como ocorre o processo de inclusão de alunos com deficiência nas aulas de EF na cidade de Manaus, a partir do olhar dos professores. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como descritiva com abordagem qualitativa e foi realizada em 2 (duas) escolas municipais de Manaus, nas quais foram entrevistados 3 (três) professores de Educação Física. Para a coleta de dados foi aplicado um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado e os achados foram submetidos à Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. As categorias para a análise foram pré-estabelecidas a partir do roteiro de entrevista. Os resultados são discutidos nas categorias: Formação e A Participação dos alunos. Os resultados apontam que apesar dos significativos avanços no que concerne aos direitos à educação para as pessoas com deficiência, ainda é possível identificar atitudes que revelam uma exclusão oculta, em que os profissionais definem “se” ou “quem” irá participar ou não de suas aulas utilizando de critérios próprios. Anda no contexto manauara, observou-se a carência de profissionais de EF atuando nas escolas. Para além das atitudes e tomadas de decisão dos professores de EF, compreende-se que a escola é um espaço democrático, em constante evolução, que necessita de um trabalho em equipe e uma reestruturação organizacional macro que vise a aprendizagem, participação e acesso de todos os estudantes.

Este artigo traz o recorte de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no Mestrado em Educação - PPGE/CEDU/UFAL, tendo como objetivo ressaltar os caminhos curriculares e identitários trilhados como tática de resistência e de existência em escolas do etnoterritório Wassu-cocal, Joaquim Gomes/AL. O foco está centrado nas reivindicações por um currículo específico, decolonial. Adotou-se como abordagem metodológica a pesquisa qualitativa, baseada em estudo de casos múltiplos. Neste texto, são enfatizados dados que foram recolhidos em entrevistas realizadas com as educadoras, as quais desenvolveram práticas curriculares tanto em sala de aula, como também como na atuação como coordenadoras pedagógicas. Em suma, as observações e as entrevistas realizadas demonstraram que, em seus currículos, as educadoras ultrapassaram as prescrições, valorizando os conhecimentos dos estudantes, dando lugar a práticas/experiências decoloniais, seguindo caminhos mais democráticos, emancipatórios, rompendo com as imposições do currículo prescrito.

Authors: Saleh Muhammad , Wildan Muhammad , Wahyudi Gemuh Surya
Published: April 2024

The main problem in this paper is a dispute between the government of West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) Indonesia, and the government of Central Lombok Regency about the fight to name the airport. This paper aims to explain that the struggle for the name of Lombok International Airport (BIL) to become Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM) in Lombok has become a dispute between Levels 1 and 2 local governments. The form of conflict is that the NTB Level 1 local government wants an airport called BIZAM, while the Central Lombok Level 2 regional government wants BIL. This paper uses in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation methods. The results of this paper show that the conflict occurs because there are planned elements carried out by Levels 1 and 2 local governments that are indirectly affiliated with one particular religious or social group in the fight for airport naming. For this reason, this article implies that the conflict occurs solely because it wants to maintain the identity and for the sake of the self-esteem of each group or socio-religious organization.

Published: April 2024

Although virtual sandboxes are an essential component of platforms such
as smart cities and smart parks, the efficiency of visual rendering and
Web access is frequently hampered by many scenarios and models. This
paper combines the polygon reduction algorithm with human visual system
characteristics, proposes a real-time adjustment method for model data
for virtual scenes, determines the degree of surface reduction based on
the distance of the model’s center point in real-time observation, and
then adjusts the number of triangular faces of the model in the scene
using the collapse principle, to dynamically adjust the data amount of
the model. It also uses coroutines to realize the parallel surface
reduction of multiple objects and improve the rendering efficiency
further. Experiments show that the optimized algorithm does not affect
the visual observation effect after reducing the visual distance and
storage space by 12%, indicating that it is a highly adaptive virtual
scene data optimization method.
One-Step Preparation of High-Quality Platinum Nanocatalyst Supported on Graphene Oxide
Authors: Li Nanting
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we propose and implement an in situ direct reduction
reaction of K2PtCl6 precursor under mild reaction conditions using
topotaxial reaction and the reducbility of graphene oxide. The reduced
product platinum atom clusters are intercalated onto the GO surface,
resulting in platinum nanocatalyst. The structure, content, and
morphology of Pt/GO composites are studied using X-ray dif-fraction
(XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy (EDS), among other methods. It has been demonstrated that
Pt4+ ions in the K2PtCl6 precursor are reduced to Pt0 atoms under
moderate reaction conditions, which are equally distributed across the
GO surface in the form of atom clusters with an average particle size of
10 nm. The platinum nanocluster has a conventional face-centered cubic
crystal structure, with Pt crystal planes (111), (200), (220), and (311)
etc.
Towards the direct simulation of the quasi-biennial oscillation in a global storm-resolving model
Authors: Franke Henning , Giorgetta Marco A.
Published: April 2024

This study presents the first attempt to directly simulate a full cycle
of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in a global storm-resolving
model (GSRM) that explicitly simulates deep convection and gravity waves
instead of parameterizing them. Using the Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic
(ICON) model with horizontal and vertical resolutions of about 5 km and
400 m, respectively, we show that an untuned state-of-the-art global
storm-resolving model is already on the verge of simulating a QBO-like
oscillation of the zonal wind in the tropical stratosphere for the right
reasons. ICON shows overall good fidelity in simulating the QBO momentum
budget and the downward propagation of the QBO jets in the upper QBO
domain (25 km–35 km). In the lowermost stratosphere, however, ICON does
not simulate the downward propagation of the QBO jets to the tropopause.
This is the result of a pronounced lack of QBO wave forcing, mainly on
planetary scales. We show that the lack of planetary-scale wave forcing
in the lowermost stratosphere is caused by an underestimation of the
planetary-scale wave momentum flux entering the stratosphere, which is
too weak by 20%–40%. We attribute this lack of planetary-scale wave
momentum flux to a substantial lack of convectively coupled equatorial
waves in the tropical troposphere. Therefore, we conclude that in the
present global storm-resolving model, simulating a realistic
spatio-temporal variability of tropical deep convection, in particular
convectively coupled equatorial waves, is currently the main roadblock
towards simulating a reasonable QBO.

Published: April 2024

Plasmids play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in bacteria. This study reports the complete sequence of the IncX3 plasmid identified in Escherichia coli isolated from faeces of a Japanese racehorse. Sequence analysis revealed that this plasmid harbours the blaSHV-12 gene, which encodes an extended spectrum ?-lactamase, and the quinolone resistance gene qnrS1. The IncX3 plasmids carrying ARGs have been previously identified in bacteria isolated from humans, animals and a variety of environments. This is the first report of the complete sequence of the IncX3 plasmid carrying blaSHV-12 and qnrS1 genes from a Japanese racehorse, which provides insights into understanding the spread and mechanism of antimicrobial resistance particularly in Japanese racehorses.

Pluripotent stem cell–derived islets (SC-islets) have emerged as a new source for β-cell replacement therapy. The function of human islet transplants is hampered by excessive cell death posttransplantation; contributing factors include inflammatory reactions, insufficient revascularization, and islet amyloid formation. However, there is a gap in knowledge of the engraftment process of SC-islets. In this experimental study, we investigated the engraftment capability of SC-islets at 3 months posttransplantation and observed that cell apoptosis rates were lower but vascular density was similar in SC-islets compared with human islets. Whereas the human islet transplant vascular structures were a mixture of remnant donor endothelium and ingrowing blood vessels, the SC-islets contained ingrowing blood vessels only. Oxygenation in the SC-islet grafts was twice as high as that in the corresponding grafts of human islets, suggesting better vascular functionality. Similar to the blood vessel ingrowth, reinnervation of the SC-islets was four- to fivefold higher than that of the human islets. Both SC-islets and human islets contained amyloid at 1 and 3 months posttransplantation. We conclude that the vascular and neural engraftment of SC-islets are superior to those of human islets, but grafts of both origins develop amyloid, with potential long-term consequences.
