Authors: Nousis Athanasios , Sakkas Georgios , Stefanidis Ioannis
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Hemodialysis is the most common therapy for final stage of the chronic kidney failure. Vascular
access is the link between the patient and the machine and the dialyzer so that hemodialysis can be applied
effectively. Although huge technological advances have been made, vascular access is still the weak link in treatment.
Aim: The determination of the percentages and the type of vascular access carried by patients undergoing hemodialysis in Attica in a statistically significant examined population. Correlation of quality of life, levels of physical activity, the effect of early referral of patients to a nephrologist.
Methods: A non-experimental synchronous study was performed where initially the studied population was selected and then the information regarding the determinant and the disease at a specific time was obtained and conducted in hemodialysis units of the public and private sector of Attica. Questionnaires were used for data collection: a) measuring quality of life, b) measuring fatigue c) measuring restless legs syndrome. The
statistical program SPSS 22.0 was used for the analysis.
Results: In 63.4% of the examined population, vascular access was created with arteriovenous anastomosis (AFA). More than half of the patients visited early a nephrologist before initial hemodialysis session with a rate of 66.2%. Most of those who had AFA visited a nephrologist early. There was a significant difference in the fatigue score depending on the type of vascular access. In the analysis of the dimensions of the quality-of-life scale, it was found that the type of vascular access and previous vascular accesses are related to dimensions of quality of life.
Conclusion: It seems that patients who visited a nephrologist in time before initial hemodialysis session had increased rates of AFA and a better score in terms of quality of life. Fatigue was associated with the type of vascular access. The need for National registry system of vascular access seems to help the scientific community in extracting useful scientific data.

Published: February 2024

The perspectives of economic students in Can Tho City, Vietnam were investigated in order to have a deeper understanding of the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) and social performance. A comprehensive survey was conducted on a sample size of 526 undergraduate students enrolled in business administration and international business courses. This study effort examined the impact of several subcomponents of GSCM on social performance. The inclusion of green production, green distribution, green supply chain management, and environmental education was seen. The coefficients of 0.24 and 0.115 suggest a favorable relationship between green procurement and internal environmental management and social performance. The existing scholarly literature presents several instances in which the implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has resulted in enhanced societal performance. The objective of this study is to contribute to the existing literature by investigating the many factors that influence the performance of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in improving financial outcomes. The investigation also encompasses the examination of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and its influence on societal performance. The authors propose that the extent to which graduates were exposed to GSCM education throughout their college years will have a substantial impact on their contributions to their respective fields and to society as a whole. Individuals who proactively pursue higher education by enrolling in college and focusing their studies on attaining a business degree are more likely to increase their chances of achieving success as entrepreneurs. Hence, these affluent proprietors of companies possess the potential to expand their operations and provide significant economic benefits at a macro level. In order to ensure the enduring viability of businesses, local communities, and the natural environment, educational institutions should provide curricula including corporate social responsibility, volunteerism, and ecologically conscious manufacturing methods. The integration of environmental stewardship with ethical business practices is crucial.

Published: February 2024

This study’s primary objective is to determine the financial repercussions, including expenses, profits, and losses, that certain stakeholders in the Tuong-mango value chain face at various distribution stages. This was achieved through the utilisation of stakeholders cost-benefit value chain analysis. These individuals collectively contributed 849 sample observations to the dataset including 732 farmers, 10 cooperative, 32 collectors, 25 wholesalers, 30 retailers, 12 exporters and processors, and 08 grocery stores/fruit. The robust financial performance of the Tuong-mango value chain is attributable to its integrated economic efficiency, as evidenced by its over USD 1 billion in revenue and USD 98.2 million in net income. The marketing channels, specifically channels 1, 2, and 3, generate a total of USD 906.1 million in revenue, yielding a net profit of USD 81.9 million. The combined sales from domestic marketing channels 4 and 5 total USD 160 million, yielding a net profit of USD 16.2 million. The findings indicate that due to their limited scope and suboptimal grade 1, farmers are the most vulnerable link in the supply chain. This study proposes three strategies for augmenting quality, fostering technological advancement, and facilitating the spread of benefits. This study’s findings contribute to the existing literature on value chain analysis as it pertains to various tropical fruits and vegetables. The study provides empirical evidence supporting the utility of the value chain method in policy formulation.
The influence of anaesthesia on cancer growth
Authors: Potocnik Iztok , Kerin-Povsic Milena , Markovic-Bozic Jasmina
Published: February 2024

Background

Oncological patients make up a large proportion of all surgical patients. Through its influence on the patient’s inflammatory and immune system, the choice of anaesthetic technique has an indirect impact on the health of the individual patient and on public health. Both the specific and the non-specific immune system have a major influence on the recurrence of carcinomas. The pathophysiological basis for growth and metastasis after surgery is the physiological response to stress. Inflammation is the organism’s universal response to stress. Anaesthetics and adjuvants influence perioperative inflammation in different ways and have an indirect effect on tumour growth and metastasis. In vitro studies have shown how individual anaesthetics influence the growth and spread of cancer, but clinical studies have not confirmed these results. Nevertheless, it is advisable to use an anaesthetic that has shown lesser effect on the growth of cancer cells in vitro.

Conclusions

In this review, we focus on the area of the effects of anaesthesia on tumour growth. The field is still relatively unexplored, there are only few clinical prospective studies and their results are controversial. Based on the review of new research findings we report on recommendations about anaesthetics and anaesthetic techniques that might be preferable for oncological surgical procedures.

Published: February 2024

Urban and suburban transport within Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) is now considered an integrated system. In these regions, many residents commute from the suburbs to the city daily for work, education, and social purposes. Transport planning must consider these dynamics to ensure consistent and convenient connections between the city and its suburbs. This article stresses the need for a standardized tool to collect data on transport management models in FUAs across 38 OECD-affiliated countries.

The proposed tool, a survey questionnaire, aims to gather information on how transport management models are organized and operate in these regions. The article discusses research conducted in the Olsztyn FUA, revealing significant variations in transport management methods among municipalities. The questionnaire is categorized into four themes: public transport, transport infrastructure, FUA transport strategy and innovation, and risks and monitoring, offering a comprehensive view of the transport management model. The study also highlights varying development priorities among FUA municipalities; some focus on public transport, while others invest in road infrastructure. This study underscores the importance of a cohesive approach to transport management in FUAs, considering their diverse needs and requirements.
Fragmentation of Artificial intelligence international regulation: challenges
Authors: Sazhinov A. A.
Published: February 2024

The issue of AI development and application is high on the international agenda now. One of the reasons is its excessive popularity among the public. Numerous international actors are now developing AI regulations. It is both universal and specialized international organisations with global and regional reach. Informal international fora are also active in this area. This process is a complex one and incorporate different factors which are both of objective and subjective character. In effect, AI regulation all the more often becomes a political tool for promoting economic interests of national IT companies or an instrument for secretariats of international organisations to keep a high profile. National AI regulation is often considered as a shield against malign use of AI by Western governments to manipulate domestic processes in other countries and to interfere into internal affairs. There are also different approaches which are practiced by intergovernmental organisations depending on their specialization. While specialized fora strive to build common grounds for the development and use of AI, regional organisations attach broader perspective to AI regulation and tend to politicize it. These various factors are likely to result in a fragmented regulatory field in this area according to national borders or borders of military and political alliances.

Purpose: The main objective of this study is to quantify the impact of marketing strategies on real estate leasing in the Peruvian context.
 
Theoretical framework: An exhaustive review of the academic literature was carried out to gain an in-depth knowledge of the existing paradigms related to real estate marketing and the leasing phenomenon.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative, descriptive-explanatory methodology was chosen. A structured questionnaire was administered to a representative sample of 30 tenants.
 
Results: The data collected evidenced a notable correlation between marketing tactics and lease rates, with a significant p-value (less than 0.05). Also, Spearman's Rho and Kendall's Tau_b correlation coefficients of 0.678 and 0.632, respectively, were found. It was observed that approximately half of the contracts analyzed are not duly registered with SUNARP, and there was a lack of detailed information on the tenant profile in about one third of the real estate developments.
 
Practical and social implications: The lack of registration of contracts generates an environment of legal vulnerability, increasing the risk of legal conflicts between the parties involved. The absence of information on the tenant's profile may hinder the proper selection of tenants. Emphasis is placed on the proposal to establish effective conflict resolution mechanisms and on the imperative need for transparency in fee structures, seeking to strengthen the fiduciary relationship between landlords and tenants.
 
Originality/value: This study provides an innovative view on the impact of marketing strategies in the Peruvian leasing sector. It provides empirical and quantitative evidence on current contractual practices and the presentation of properties in the market. It highlights the urgent need to refine current strategies to consolidate a transparent and reliable leasing market in Peru.
Religion des Bürgers statt Zivilreligion - Zur Vereinbarkeit von Pluralismus und Glaube im Anschluss an Tocqueville
Authors: Grichting Martin
Published: February 2024

Dass Religion und Aufklärung unvereinbar sind, ist eine gängige Ansicht. Deshalb vertrügen sich gelebter Glaube und aufgeklärte Gesellschaften nicht miteinander. Alexis de Tocqueville hat demgegenüber nicht nur betont, dass Religion – in erster Linie die christliche – für den Bestand freier und offener Gesellschaften notwendig sei. Er hat auch einen Weg gewiesen, wie sich Religionsgemeinschaften und deren Anhänger in der pluralistischen Gesellschaft demokratiekompatibel einbringen können. Die katholische Kirche hat mit dem II. Vatikanischen Konzil (1962–1965) Tocquevilles Ansatz weitergeführt. Sie schlägt heute ein universalisierbares Modell vor, das es auch anderen Religionsgemeinschaften ermöglicht, sich in offenen und freien Gesellschaften konstruktiv einzubringen.

This research aims to identify various issues and challenges as a result of an adjustment within the imposition of Income Tax Article 21 (“PPh 21”) upon in-kind benefits in the form of treatment of benefits (facilities/service) and in-kind remuneration (goods), whereby prior to the enactment of Law Number 7 of 2021 on the Harmonization of Tax Regulation (“UU HPP”), in-kind benefits were not included as the object of PPh 21. This research focuses on the Ministry of Finance Regulation Number 66/2023 on Income Tax Treatment of Replacement or Reward in Connection with Work or Services Received or Obtained in the Form of In-Kind Benefits (“PMK 66/2023”) as a technical regulation derived from the UU HPP which regulates in more detail the imposition and collection of taxes on in-kind benefits. The provisions in PMK 66/2023 will be analyzed in a structured manner using the principles of an ideal tax system–consisting of: revenue productivity, equity, and ease of administration–in order to comprehensively identify the issues and challenges within the implementation of this regulation. This research concludes that the government's main goal in significantly changing the taxation rules on in-kind benefit is to meet revenue productivity. However, in fulfilling this, the principles of equity and ease of administration have not been properly realized, given the fact that there are number of issues in the PMK 66/2023, which need to be further addressed. Accordingly, this research provides theoretical and practical contributions to the further development of tax regulations on in-kind benefits, whereby expected to accommodate the various issues and challenges as identified in this research.

A Neutron Beam Shaping Assembly for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy of Superficial Tumors
Authors: Sycheva Т. V. , Berendeev Е. А. , Verkhovod G. D. , Taskaev S. Yu.
Published: February 2024

The Vacuum Insulated Tandem accelerator have been developed in Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. Neutrons are generated in 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction. Neutron beam shaping assembly is used for therapeutic beam forming. It consists of the moderator, reflector and filter. Magnesium fluoride is considered optimal material for neutron slowing down because of noticeable cross section of inelastic neutron scattering. Previously, we showed that it is optimal to use proton beam at energy 2.3 MeV for neutron generation.

As a result of a critical analysis of our earlier decisions on the methods used to form a therapeutic neutron beam and decisions of other research groups, as well as successful experiments on the irradiation of laboratory pets and cell cultures carried out at our experimental facility, we noticed that with the recent trend towards a decrease in proton energy the process of inelastic scattering in MgF2 is no longer decisive in neutron moderation, and it was decided to consider materials based on plexiglass as a moderator material.

In this work we considered Poly-Biz as moderator material and get the neutron beam the same quality as with MgF2 moderator and proton energy 2.3 MeV but at lower proton energy and current that can cause treatment time reducing and allows more reliable neutron generation.For a long time, the development of BNСT was hindered by the lack of charged particle accelerators that provide stable production of a stationary 2.5 MeV 10 mA proton beam. The use of BSA with Poly-Biz allows the use of these accelerators at lower energy, which improves the reliability of their operation, and reduces the therapy time by more than 2 times, which is also important for therapy. Also, the use of such an BSA simplifies the requirements for a charged particle accelerator and this opens up both the possibility of optimizing the developed accelerators and the use of other accelerators that have not yet reached the required parameters.
Investigation of the Possibility of Using Turn-by-Turn Measurements to Detect Perturbations in the Magnetic Structure of Accelerators
Authors: Dorokhova D. V. , Dorokhov V. L. , Nikitin S. A.
Published: February 2024

The PCA correction method consists of a global analysis of turn-by-turn data obtained from beam position monitors (BPMs). One of its main advantages is speed of operation and the ability to detect pulsating power supplies. Along with this, a wide range of applications characterizes the PCA method: determination of perturbations of the accelerator magnetic structure, calculation of transport matrix elements and optical functions, and determination of the magnitude of the transverse coupling. A software prototype implementing the proposed correction method was written and tested on the electron-positron collider VEPP-4M for experimental validation. In the experiments, perturbations were introduced one by one into individual elements of the skew-quadrupole and quadrupole corrections. In one case, the excitation of betatron oscillations was carried out by the kick of the inflector. In another case, the oscillations were excited by resonant swing with a depolariser. It was found that, despite the simplicity of practical implementation, the examined method has some nuances that make it difficult to obtain and identify correct results. Nevertheless, it was possible to identify the introduced perturbations of quadrupole and skew-quadrupole corrections. Moreover, it was possible to detect a magnet with low-frequency pulsations by characteristic changes in the estimated invariants. In addition, the possibility of determining the integral coupling parameters in experiments on the observation of resonantly excited eigen modes having the shape of ellipses in the plane transverse to the beam motion axis is considered.

Published: February 2024

Eating and swallowing disorders are prevalent among children with neuromotor disabilities, significantly impacting their overall quality of life. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the challenges by restricting access to health care, underscoring the necessity for innovative solutions with caregiver involvement. This study investigated the effectiveness of a distance learning educational model in oral-motor therapy for primary caregivers of children with neuromotor impairments in Mérida, Mexico. The quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design included thirty primary caregivers of children aged 2 to 12 with feeding and swallowing disorders from seven institutions. Twenty-three participants completed the program. The program encompassed theoretical sessions on various aspects of oral motor therapy and practical sessions focusing on hands-on training. Results revealed substantial enhancements in theoretical knowledge and practical competencies among caregivers, with competence levels exceeding 80% in all evaluated activities. Despite these positive outcomes, the study acknowledges limitations such as a small sample size and the absence of a control group. Addressing these constraints through future research endeavors will bolster the evidence supporting the effectiveness of this innovative caregiver-centric approach. Ultimately, integrating caregivers into the care team is imperative for improving the quality of life for children with neuromotor disabilities and effectively managing eating and swallowing disorders.

Published: February 2024

The synthesis of isotopically labeled organic molecules is vital for drug and agrochemical discovery and development. Carbon isotope exchange is emerging as a leading method to generate carbon-labeled targets, which are sought due to their enhanced stability in biological systems. While many bioactive small molecules bear carbon-containing stereocenters, direct enantioselective carbon isotope exchange reactions have not been established. We describe the first example of an enantioselective carbon isotope exchange reaction, where (radio)labeled α-amino acids can be generated from their unlabeled precursors in a single step using a chiral aldehyde mediator with isotopically labeled CO2. Many proteinogenic and non-natural derivatives undergo enantioselective labeling, including the late-stage radiolabeling of complex drug targets.

The complexity and diversity of polymer topologies, or chain architectures, present substantial challenges in predicting and engineering polymer properties. Although machine learning is increasingly used in polymer science, applications to address architecturally complex polymers are nascent. Here, we use a generative machine learning model based on variational autoencoders and data generated from molecular dynamics simulations to design polymer topologies that exhibit target properties. Following the construction of a dataset featuring 1,342 polymers with linear, cyclic, branch, comb, star, or dendritic structures, we employ a multi-task learning framework that effectively reconstructs and classifies polymer topologies while predicting their dilute-solution radii of gyration. This framework enables the generation of novel polymer topologies with target size, which is subsequently validated through molecular simulation. These capabilities are then exploited to contrast rheological properties of topologically distinct polymers with otherwise similar dilute-solution behavior. This research opens new avenues for engineering polymers with more intricate and tailored properties with machine learning.
Rational design of metal-organic cages to increase the number of components via dihedral angle control

Published: February 2024

The general principles of discrete, large self-assemblies composed of numerous components are not unveiled and the artificial formation of such entities is a challenging topic. In metal-organic cages, design strategies for tuning the coordination directions in multitopic ligands by the bend and twist angles were previously developed to solve this problem. In this study, the importance of remote geometric communications between components is emphasized, realizing several types of metal-organic assemblies based on dihedral angle control in multitopic ligands although they have the same coordination directions. Self-assembly of a tritopic ligand with dihedral angles θ = 36° and a cis-protected Pd(II) ion afforded M9L6 and M12L8 cages as kinetic and thermodynamic products, respectively, whereas an M12L8 sheet was formed when θ = 90°. Geometric analyses of strains in the subcomponent rings revealed that remote geometric communications among neighboring multitopic ligands through coordination bonds are key for large assemblies.

The fabrication of stable and highly performing enzyme-based electrodes is key for the effective generation of biodevices and bioelectronics, such as electrochemical biosensors. In this context, redox-active lyotropic liquid crystals based on 3D nanomaterials, known as lipid cubic phases (LCP), hold great potential due to the large specific surface area and the possibility to be functionalized. In this study, we functionalized a monoolein (MO) LCP matrix by incorporating an amphiphilic redox shuttle within its matrix with the aim to enhance the electrochemical performance of a glucose oxidase (GOx) based electrode and we investigated the stability of the overall system. The use of dodecyl(ferrocenylmethyl)dimethylammonium bromide (Fc12-Br) resulted in an electroactivity loss with time of the resulting Fc12-Br/MO electrode, probably due to the formation of a passivating layer between the bromide counterions and the electrode surface. Hence, bromine (Br-) was replaced with hexafluorophosate (PF6-), leading to Fc12-PF6/MO. Both structures were used for GOx entrapment and the resulting electro-activity towards glucose was assessed. Though the sensitivity obtained with the Fc12-Br/MO/GOx and Fc12-PF6/MO/GOx systems was comparable, the latter showed superior stability over time, with more than 80% activity retained for > 20 days. Moreover, when the concentration of the Fc12 redox shuttle within the cubic phase was increased by 10, a 4 times greater current density was generated. Consequently, the Fc12-PF6/MO electrode shows superior stability and performance than previously reported redox lyotropic LCP systems, thus paving the way for promising applications in enzyme-based biodevices.
Sabidurías indígenas para un paradigma intercultural de concordia
Authors: Velazco Gómez Ambrosio
Published: February 2024

La tesis principal de este trabajo sostiene que es urgente la construcción de nuevos paradigmas cognoscitivos-sociales que reviertan los efectos catastróficos del capitalismo global. Esos nuevos paradigmas requieren de una nueva concepción de la relación individuo-sociedad-naturaleza-cosmos, basada en unos principios de justicia y concordia. Esa concepción alternativa se puede encontrar en las filosofías que los pueblos indígenas de América han forjado en un proceso de resistencia y diálogo intercultural de cinco siglos. Estas concepciones pueden servir para la construcción de nuevos paradigmas que integren a las humanidades, la filosofía, las ciencias, las técnicas, las artes y las sabidurías indígenas con un principio de equidad epistémica, orientado al restablecimiento de la concordia y el bien común de la humanidad en armonía con la naturaleza. Esto es lo que varios pueblos y culturas indígenas llaman “Buen vivir”.
La episteme campesina y la soberanía alimentaria —El cuidado y la cuaternidad. Notas para una ¿epistemología campesina?—
Authors: Vargas Guillén Germán
Published: February 2024

En este artículo, la soberanía alimentaria se tematiza fenomenológicamente como un ingrediente de la agenda política para Colombia. Para ello se reflexiona sobre cinco puntos. A saber: I) el saber y conocimiento; II) la soberanía alimentaria y pedagogía de la Tierra; III) el cuidado de la Tierra; IV) la episteme campesina y V) el vivir bien, comer sabroso. Por último, se presenta un colofón, en donde se argumenta que la soberanía alimentaria es una política de la temporalidad, del éxtasis, de la capacidad de hacer una pausa en el ajetreo del capitalismo.
Electrical resistivity of FeSi alloy under high pressure
Authors: Nguyen Thi Hong
Published: February 2024

The electrical resistivity of FeSi alloy under the influence of pressure is studied based on the Matthiessen's rule and saturation electrical resistivity model. Numerical calculations were conducted for FeSi up to a pressure of 100 GPa and compared with experimental data when possible. The results show that the electrical resistivity of the material diminishes gradually with pressure and saturates at high pressure. Furthermore, in this paper, we also investigated the effects of impurity concentration on the electrical resistivity of FeSi alloy. Our numerical calculations conducted for 40 and 80 Gpa pressures show that when the Si concentration is less than 20%, the electrical resistivity of the alloy increases rapidly and linearly with the Si concentration. Our electrical resistivity values are consistent with those of the recent experimental measurements.

Osteo-arthritis a degenerative condition affecting cartilage of bone endings is characterized by pain and swelling in affected joints. Jalaukavacharana is the painless modality of Raktamokshana and said to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. 40 patients diagnosed with sandhigata vata Osteo-arthritis of knee joint were subjected to jalaukavacharana by applying leaches to knee joint area having maximum tenderness once a week for three consecutive weeks. Laksha and Haridra churna were used as haemostatic agents to arrest bleeding. Pain swelling and stiffness in knee joint were assessed before treatment and at intervals of 1st 7th and 14th days of treatment. Significant reduction in the symptoms of sandhigatavata Osteo-arthritis was observed in all patients at the end of treatment with 52.5 patients getting relief from all 3 symptoms. Results are thus suggestive of efficacy of jalaukavacharana in managing pain of Osteo-arthritis.
