Published: November 2023

Con el objetivo de evaluar la suplementación con bacterias ácido-lácticas en las raciones de cuyes (Cavia porcellus) de engorde sobre los parámetros productivos, se planteó la experiencia bajo el diseño estadístico completo al azar con arreglo factorial (3T x 3D): tratamientos: T1 (Lactobacillus casei), T2 (L. acidophilus) y T3 (mezcla de L. casei y L. acidophilus) y, tres dosis: 0, 50 y 100 ml (107 UFC ml-1) que se ofreció mezclando al alimento. En todos los casos con tres repeticiones y 3 cuyes como unidad experimental, para la comparación de medias se utilizó la prueba de contraste de Tukey, se experimentó con 108 cuyes machos con dos semanas de nacidos. El tiempo de evaluación fue 54 días. Los resultados para consumo de alimento e índice de conversión alimenticia fueron no significativos (p<0,05). Sin embargo, para el peso vivo y ganancia de peso estadísticamente fueron significativos y con la prueba de Tukey la mejor dosis fue de 50 ml, así como para el porcentaje de carcasa. Para la retribución económica el costo de alimento fue similar para todos los tratamientos y dosis. No obstante, numéricamente el uso de los microorganismos favorece para la obtención de cuyes con mejores pesos comerciales para la venta.
Hospitalitas kepemimpinan kristiani dalam falsafah elek marboru: Formasi spiritualitas pemimpin yang menghargai bawahan

Published: November 2023

Kepemimpinan Kristen yang tepat adalah pemimpin yang rendah hati dan menghormati orang lain. Agar dapat bertahan hidup, kepemimpinan harus mengakui perbedaan yang setara dan menghormatinya dengan rasa hormat dan perhatian.  Namun gambaran ideal ini  tidak cocok dengan dengan kebanyak oranag yang menyebut dirinya pemimpin.  Berdasarkan gambaran faktual yang berbeda dengan gambaran ideal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untukmemberikan sumbangsih pola pikir global tentang  kepemimpinan dalam kesetaraan dan mengaitkannya dengan konteks budaya, secara spesifik falsafah suku Batak Toba yaitu Dalihan Na Tolu. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualtitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif.Perjumpaan dengan budaya memungkinkan seorang pemimpin memiliki pola pikir global dan menganggap perbedaan bukan sebagai subordinasi tetapi menjadi kesetaraan. Memimpin dalam pola pikir global memberi ruang bagi pemimpin untuk menghormati eksistensi manusia sebagai pribadi yang utuh yang harus dihormati, perlu didengar dan diberi ruang untuk mengambil keputusan. Dalam kekristenan rasa hormat pemimpin kepada yang dipimpin didasarkan pada penciptaan dan penebusan yang berlaku setara bagi semua manusia. Kesetaraan inilah yang menjadi landasan rasa hormat seorang pemimpin kepada bawahan.
Dialektika kekristenan dengan ritus kematian Aluk Todolo: Sebuah kajian antropo-teologis dengan pendekatan model mutualitas Paul F. Knitter dan korelasi Paul Tillich
Authors: Abialtar Abialtar , Sabaritno Ekavian Vian , Tandirerung Lidya Kambo
Published: November 2023

Keberadaan ritus kematian di wilayah Nosu, Mamasa di Tengah-tengan kekristenan seringkali mendapat penghakiman sebagai penyembahan pagan karena adalah ritual agama suku, Alu’Todolo, yang bagi penginjil dan juga pihak lembaga gereja setempat dinilai bertentangan dengan ajaran Kristen. Tidak ada upaya dari pihak gereja mendialogkan dan memperjumpakan ritual tersebut dengan ajaran Kristen. Riset ini menggunakan metode kualitatif  ntuk mencari makna atau value ritus kematian tersebut dengan kajian teologis-antropologis, dengan harapan bahwa melalui pendekatan tersebut maka konteks dapat berbicara berdasarkan realitas dan perspektifnya sendiri. Kebijaksanaa-kebijaksanaan lokal tersebut kemudian akan didialogkan dengan pemahaman kekristenan dengan model Mutualitas Paul F. Knitter dan Korelasi Paul Tillich. Ditemukan bahwa ritus kematian merupakan tempat perjumpaan dan pertemuan secara intens antara agama Kristen dengan Aluk Todolo di Mamasa.Melalui perjumpaan tersebut maka ditemukan dasar-dasar yang dapat digunakan sebagai landasan bersama dalam dialog antar agama.  Dasar-dasar tersebut yakni pemahaman tentang “Yang Ilahi”; pemahaman tentang hubungan manusia dengan ciptaan lain; serta persatuan dan kebersamaan yang terjalin di dalam ritus kematian yang dilakukan. Dari kajian ini kami menekankan untuk mengusahakan dialog antara kekristenan dengan Aluk Todolo sebagai upaya untuk saling memperkaya dalam pemahaman iman.

Quality teachers are those who at least fulfil the academic qualifications of having a Bachelor degree in the field of Education and the required competencies. But in fact, the continuous professional development for school improvement through the practice of systematic reflection of teaching improvement in the form of conducting classroom action research is still dissatisfactory. Seeing this fact, such activity as workshops to improve classroom action research skills through community service are needed. The design of this activity follows the Community-Based Participatory Research Design (CBPR). This design consists of five steps Formulation of Research Problems, Collecting Data through Interviews, Compiling Interview Results, Regrouping, Clustered Discussion, Modification of Research Problems. In this community service, the target participants were 25 teachers of SMPN Pulo Gadung District. The training activities have many benefits for both parties, the research team and the teacher team. These benefits are the establishment of coordination, communication and cooperation in order to improve the quality of education, especially in improving teacher competence in conducting PTK.
Attractor Properties of Spatiotemporal Memory in Effective Sequence Processing Task
Authors: Kuderov P. , Dzhivelikian E. , Panov A. I.
Published: November 2023

For autonomous AI systems, it is important to process spatiotemporal information to encode and memorize it and extract and reuse abstractions effectively. What is natural for natural intelligence is still a challenge for AI systems. In this paper, we propose a biologically plausible model of spatiotemporal memory with an attractor module and study its ability to encode sequences and efficiently extract and reuse repetitive patterns. The results of experiments on synthetic and textual data and data from DVS cameras demonstrate a qualitative improvement in the properties of the model when using the attractor module.
Depression and personality disorders among incarcerated offenders convicted of impulsive versus premeditated homicide
Authors: Jakubowska Adrianna , Zajenkowska Anna , Garofalo Carlo
Published: November 2023

Depression and personality disorders, such as Borderline Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder, have been identified as common factors among homicide offenders. However, existing research often adopts a limited categorical approach and treats homicide offenders as a homogeneous group. In this study, we utilized a dimensional approach to investigate the differences in depression and personality disorders between impulsive and premeditated homicide offenders. A total of 83 homicide offenders, aged 20-74 (45 premeditated and 38 impulsive offenders), from two prisons in Poland participated in the study. They completed three questionnaires assessing depression and personality disorders using both categorical and dimensional approaches. No significant differences were found between the groups, suggesting that type of homicide alone should not guide clinical decision-making. However, premeditated homicide offenders demonstrated relatively higher levels of Detachment and Psychoticism, as well as above cut-off depressive symptoms. These findings tentatively suggest that the Psychoticism and Detachment domains may play an important role in premeditated homicide offenders. Considering the study's limited sample size and utilization of abbreviated research instruments, a more comprehensive exploration in future studies using refined measures seems warranted. Moreover, the high prevalence of depressive symptoms as well as their associations with PD traits emphasizes the need for future studies to prioritize the investigation of depression within this group.
Performance of Machine Learning for Ozone Modeling in Southern California during the COVID-19 Shutdown
Authors: Do Khanh , Kashfi Yeganeh Arash , Gao Ziqi , Ivey Cesunica
Published: November 2023

We combine machine learning (ML) and geospatial interpolations to create two-dimensional high-resolution ozone concentration fields over the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) for the entire year of 2020. Three spatial interpolation methods (bicubic, IDW, and ordinary kriging) were employed. The predicted ozone concentration fields were constructed using 15 building sites predicted by the ML method, and random forest regression was employed to test the predictability of 2020 data based on input data from past years. Spatially interpolated ozone concentrations were evaluated at twelve sites that were independent of the actual spatial interpolations to find the most suitable method for SoCAB. Ordinary kriging interpolation had the best performance overall for 2020: concentrations were overestimated for Anaheim, Compton, LA North Main Street, LAX, Rubidoux, and San Gabriel sites and underestimated for Banning, Glendora, Lake Elsinore, and Mira Loma sites. The model performance improved from the West to the East, exhibiting better predictions for inland sites. The model is best at interpolating ozone concentrations inside the sampling region (bounded by the building sites), with R^2 ranging from 0.56 to 0.85 for those sites, as prediction deficiencies occurred at the periphery of the sampling region, with the lowest R2 of 0.39 for Winchester. All interpolation methods poorly predicted and underestimated ozone concentrations in Crestline during summer (up to 19 ppb). Poor performance for Crestline indicates that the site has a distribution of air pollution level independent from all other sites. Therefore, historical data from coastal and inland sites should not be used to predict ozone in Crestline using data-driven spatial interpolation approaches. The study demonstrates the utility of ML and geospatial techniques for evaluating air pollution levels during anomalous periods. Both ML and CMAQ do not fully capture the irregularities caused by emission reductions during the COVID-19 lockdown period (March – May) in the SoCAB. The results from ML indicate that there has never been a similar pattern in air quality to that of the COVID-19 lockdown in the past. Including 2020 training data in the ML model training improves the model's performance and its ability to predict future abnormalities in air quality.
Toward inclusive and identity safe learning for supporting racialized student achievement
Authors: Holden LaTasha R , Tanenbaum Gabriel Justin , Ashley Austin
Published: November 2023

Students racialized as Black often experience forms of marginalization and encounter unique obstacles in their educational paths. As a result, more inclusive and tailored forms of support should be developed. Working to better support Black students should be initiated through two complementary sides--through that of the instructor and the scientist. First, we consider the importance of identity-safety and detail identity-based barriers Black students experience in their learning environments. We then define the notion of cognitive universals and discuss how it limits the effectiveness of science and its translation to more inclusive practices. We argue that to strengthen tailored forms of student support, we must move beyond focusing only on cognitive universals and more carefully consider heterogeneity of effects. To support our argument, we present evidence-based strategies from cognitive and learning science and educational interventions research to combat identity-based barriers and boost learning gains. Overall, we urge instructors and scientists to consider a variety of techniques to create more identity-safe and inclusive learning environments for Black students.
A common alteration in effort-based decision-making in apathy, anhedonia, and late circadian rhythm
Authors: Mehrhof Sara Z. , Nord Camilla
Published: November 2023

Motivational deficits are common in several brain disorders, and motivational syndromes like apathy and anhedonia predict worse outcomes. Disrupted effort-based decision-making may represent a neurobiological underpinning of motivational deficits, shared across neuropsychiatric disorders. We measured effort-based decision-making in 994 participants using a gamified online task, combined with computational modelling, and validated offline for test-retest reliability. In two pre-registered studies, we first replicated studies linking impaired effort-based decision-making to neuropsychiatric syndromes, taking both a transdiagnostic and a diagnostic-criteria approach. Next, testing participants with early and late circadian rhythms in the morning and evening, we find circadian rhythm interacts with time-of-testing to produce parallel effects on effort-based decision-making. Circadian rhythm may be an important variable in computational psychiatry, decreasing reliability or distorting results when left unaccounted for. Disentangling effects of neuropsychiatric syndromes and circadian rhythm on effort-based decision-making will be essential to understand motivational pathologies and to develop tailored clinical interventions.
Wealth, Inheritance, and Concentration: An ‘Old’ New Perspective on Italy and its Regions from Unification to the Great War
Authors: Gabbuti Giacomo , Morelli Salvatore
Published: November 2023

Despite its relevance in 19th-century economics, wealth – its accumulation, composition, and distribution – has largely been neglected in Italian economic history. Filling this gap, we show that between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, Italy presented a historically high value of total private wealth but had relatively small relevance in total bequests flows in proportion to national income. Then, we present novel estimates of wealth concentration between 1863 and 1914, combining national tabulations of inheritance tax records and microdata archives for Milan and Naples. During this period, wealth concentration in Italy was in line with the highest levels ever recorded since the late Middle Ages. Contrary to the evidence of declining income inequality in the period – traditionally considered the industrial ‘take-off’ phase of Italy – we find no clear signs of trends in wealth concentration or structural changes in wealth composition. This picture is confirmed and enriched by novel findings about wealth concentration at provincial and regional levels in the early 20th century. We show a great deal of heterogeneity beyond national aggregates but find no evidence of the classic North-South divide when looking at concentration. Likewise, we find no clear link between concentration levels and asset composition or economic development. Although contemporary inequality is much lower than early 20th-century figures, the ‘real’ wealth of present ‘millionaires’ seems much higher than that of historically rich individuals. Overall, the paper lays the basis for a very long-run view of wealth in Italy and reconsiders the impact of its industrialization at the end of the Liberal period.

Frailty Index among Older Adults with Cancer at B.P. Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital, Chitwan, Nepal
Authors: Neupane Laxmi , Upadhyay Hari Prasad , Lamichhane Nirmal
Published: November 2023

Introduction: The number of older adults is increasing day by day. This fact implies important health challenges. Frailty level in older adults having cancer is a globally important health issue. The concept of frailty has become gradually more accepted as one of the most important factors particularly in patients with cancer who are receiving treatment. The objective of the study was to find out the frailty index among older adults with cancer admitted for surgery at BPKMCH, Bharatpur, Nepal.
Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 111 older adults. Nonprobability purposive sampling technique was used for data collection. Data were collected by face-to-face interview method using Carolina Frailty Index (CFI) developed from a cancer-specific geriatric assessment. Data was entered and analyzed by using SPSS-20, p-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: The age of the respondents ranged from 60 to 87 years with mean + SD: 67.46+6.11. Most common site of cancer was gastrointestinal system (47.7%) and the most prevalent co- morbidities in this study were diabetes mellitus (19.8%) and high blood pressure (18.0%). Based on the CFI score, 82.0% were robust, 11.7% were pre-frail and 6.3% were frail. Increasing age (P=0.033) and ethnicity (P=0. 042) were associated with frailty.
Conclusion: CFI is a practical way to define oncologic frailty. Though it is only a descriptive study, frailty index revealed by this study would provide valuable baseline information for further researchers.

Background: Differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC), including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), are on the rise. This study provides a detailed examination of PTC cases in a tertiary care cancer hospital in Nepal, aiming to understand its clinical characteristics and treatment patterns. We conducted a retrospective analysis of PTC, including demographics, features of tumor, and treatment modalities.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study assessed cases of PTC from January 2022 to December 2022. Patient data were collected and analyzed, focusing on demographics, tumor attributes, and treatment approaches.
Results: Among 105 patients, females were predominant (female-to-male ratio 5.2:1), and ethnic diversity was observed. Most patients were from Lumbini Pradesh. The mean age was 40.78 years. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed Bethesda VI as the most common classification. Primary treatment involved total thyroidectomy (76.25%). Classical PTC was the major histopathological variant (78.1%). Tumors were frequently located in the right lobe (55.25%). Unifocal tumors were prevalent (74.28%), with an average size of 2.74 cm. Lymph node metastasis occurred in 49.5% of patients. Intermediate-risk patients constituted the majority (53.5%).
Conclusion: This study offers crucial insights into PTC's clinical spectrum in Nepal, aiding in tailored patient care strategies. The findings contribute to informed decision-making for enhanced treatment outcomes.
Measures for Quality Assurance of Electronic Examinations in a Veterinary Medical Curriculum
Authors: Richter Robin , Tipold Andrea , Schaper Elisabeth
Published: November 2023

Since 2008, electronic examinations have been conducted at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Germany which are analyzed extensively in the current study. The aim is to assess the quality of examinations, the status quo of the electronic examination system and the implementation of recommendations regarding the conduct of exams at the TiHo. Based on the results suitable indicators for the evaluation of examinations and items as well as adequate quality assurance measures and item formats are to be identified. For this purpose, 294 electronic examinations carried out from 2008 to 2022 of the veterinary medicine course with an average of 248 participants each were evaluated with regard to the quality criteria reliability, difficulty index, and discrimination index. The main finding was that the number of items and the proportion of reused questions were identified as factors through which the quality of the examinations can be increased with simple adjustments. A higher number of items led to better reliability, whereby the required minimum reliability in examinations of 0.8 was reliably achieved from an item number of 98 questions. The proportion of reused questions should be kept low, as these had a negative influence on the characteristic values. Measures accompanying examinations, such as training of question authors and a pre- and post-review process, should also ensure the quality of examinations. For the post-review process, the distribution of examination results, reliability, item and distractor analysis are adequate indicators for evaluating examinations.

Examining the quality of accounting data regarding reports from Hungarian MSMEs engaged in commercial activities
Authors: Denich Ervin , Baracsi Áron Lajos
Published: November 2023

The present study examines the estimated accounting quality of micro, small and mediumsized enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in commercial activities in Hungary. The study uses empirical methods to measure discretionary accruals derived from total accruals of the Modified Jones model of Dechow et al. and evaluates the quality results obtained according to the auditability of the sample items and other control variables. Based on our empirical findings, it appears that audited firms exhibit reduced levels of accounting quality distortions relative to non-audited firms. To conduct more rigorous domestic analyses, we propose creating a model to measure accounting quality. The model should be developed and specified within the domestic accounting environment, and its potential relationship with various accounting and financial performance issues should be explored.
Le recours au principe de continuité de la vie nationale par le Conseil constitutionnel lors du contrôle des projets de loi de finances
Authors: Guigue Alexandre
Published: November 2023

En 1979, le Conseil constitutionnel a eu recours à la notion de continuité de la vie nationale pour « sauver » le projet spécial imaginé par le gouvernement après la censure du projet de loi de finances pour 1980. Les exigences de la continuité justifieraient en France que tout soit mis en œuvre pour éviter ce que les Américains appellent le shutdown. D’abord mis en avant comme une obligation de moyen pesant sur le gouvernement et le Parlement, le principe a ensuite été mis en balance avec les droits substantiels du Parlement lors de l’examen des projets de loi de finances. En 2001, et invariablement depuis, le Conseil opère un contrôle de proportionnalité en cas d’irrégularités affectant la procédure législative financière. En 2023, l’analyse de la jurisprudence suggère que la continuité tend à l’emporter sur la sincérité.
Le contrôle de constitutionnalité des lois de finances rectificatives (2006-2022)
Authors: Guillerminet Cédric
Published: November 2023

En 1984, le Professeur Muzellec relevait que les lois de finances rectificative « n’ont guère retenu l’attention de la doctrine ». En affirmant que « [toujours] rien n’avait été écrit sur le contrôle de constitutionnalité des LFR », le Professeur Douat confirme que ce constat reste d’actualité. Pourtant, paradoxalement, ces lois jouent bien un rôle majeur au sein des finances publiques. S’intéresser à la question de leur contrôle de constitutionnalité est donc loin d’être superflus.
Exploring the Challenges Encountered and Strategies Employed by Nurses when Confronted with Moral Decisions: Implication on Moral Competence
Authors: M. Butalid Roselyn
Published: November 2023

Background: The public perceived negative attitudes and poor performance by some nurses, implying low moral competence levels. To determine how nurses handle moral issues in nursing practice, this study explored the challenges encountered and strategies employed by nurses when confronted with moral decisions. Methods: This study employed a qualitative research design utilizing in-depth interviews conducted by twenty nurse informants from hospitals in Iligan City, Philippines, recruited through a purposive sampling technique. A researcher-made interview guide with open-ended questions was utilized. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed. Results: The emergent themes are “predicaments toward patient and family issues” with two sub-themes (patient/family non-conforming decisions and dealing with emotionally burdened family members), “recognition of own weaknesses and shortcomings” with four sub-themes (infrequent performance of emotional care, insufficient provision of comfort, interference with the patient’s privacy, and delays in care due to prioritization), and “conflict with superiors”. Several strategies were employed to effectively address the moral challenges encountered. Conclusion: Moral competence is inherent in nurses, as they exhibit moral judgment and skills in overcoming the moral challenges encountered. However, there are moral issues beyond control in patient care. Therefore, hospital administrators may conduct a program to enhance the nurses’ competence to handle moral challenges and prevent moral distress, which will improve nursing practice.
Determination of influence lines for structural responses with uncertainties in properties of the structure
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Xuan , Nguyen Anh Tay
Published: November 2023

Classical ways of determination of influence lines for structural responses are often inefficient due to high computational cost, especially if properties of the structure are uncertain. The combination of Muller-Breslau principle and the finite element analysis can resolve this problem. In this study, formulations for new finite elements tailored for use in determination of influence lines for structural responses are proposed. They are then used in the problem of uncertainty propagation to obtain uncertain ordinates of the influence lines. The expressions for the element stiffness matrix and equivalent nodal load vector are derived consistently from the proposed displacement field of the element. The proposed finite elements can be adapted directly in existing finite element packages since they do not need remeshing. Studied examples show the correctness and the efficiency of the proposed method. From the results of uncertainty propagation problem, large uncertainties in the ordinates of influence lines for structural responses due to small uncertainties in structural properties should be aware of.
Experimental study on the effectiveness of strengthening reinforced concrete slab-column connections using CFRP sheets
Authors: Dat Pham Xuan , Hieu Nguyen Trung
Published: November 2023

This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets on the punching shear behavior of interior slab-column connections. Two square slabs with a concentric column were fabricated, measuring 1200 ´ 1200 ´ 80 mm for the slabs and 200 ´ 200 mm for the column. One specimen served as an unstrengthened control specimen, while the other specimen was strengthened using CFRP sheets. The specimens were simply supported along their edges and subjected to punching tests, with the vertical load applied through the central column. The experimental results revealed that the application of CFRP sheets significantly improved the performance of the slab-column connections. The strengthened slab exhibited a 16.3% increase in punching capacity compared to the control specimen. Additionally, a calculation was conducted to determine the punching shear strength of the test specimens, taking into account the interaction between shear and flexural capacities in a two-way flat slab. This calculation provided a deeper understanding of the impact of CFRP sheet strengthening on the enhancement of the strength of the slab-column connections.

Authors: CAN Yusuf , TURNA Fahrettin , ÇAKMAK Ahmet Can
Published: November 2023

Amaç: Üst ekstremite arterlerinden perkütan girişimler sonrası psödoanevrizma nadiren görülür. Bu çalışmada üst ekstremitede iatrojenik psödoanevrizması olan hastaların demografik özelliklerini ve psödoanevrizma tedavi yöntemlerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.

Yöntem ve Gereçler: 2012-2022 yılları arasında kliniğimizde psödoanevrizma nedeniyle takip edilen 17 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Son nokta sinir hasarı, kompartman sendromu, tromboembolik olay, fistül ve cerrahi ihtiyacı olarak belirlendi. Sinir hasarı, elektromiyografi ve semptomlarla görüldüğü gibi aksonal dejenerasyon olarak belirlendi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 17 hastanın 8'inde radial arter psödoanevrizması, 5'inde ulnar arter psödoanevrizması ve 4'ünde brakiyal arter psödoanevrizması gelişti. 15'i konservatif yöntemlerle tedavi edilirken, 2'si cerrahi olarak tedavi edildi. İkisinden biri geç dönemde teşhis edilen 9X9 mm çapındaki psödoanevrizma nedeniyle, diğeri ise ağrı ve 36x26 mm çapındaki psödoanevrizma nedeniyle ameliyat edildi. Bir hastada ulnar sinir hasarı tespit edildi. Bir hastaya fistül teşhisi konuldu. Ulnar sinir yaralanması ve brakial arterovenöz fistül konservatif yöntemlerle ameliyatsız tedavi edildi.

Sonuç: Üst ekstremite arterlerinde perkütan girişim sonrası gelişen psödoanevrizmaların çoğu konservatif yöntemler ile tedavi edilebilmektedir. Girişimsel kardiyologlar psödoanevrizmalar için farklı tedavi yöntemlerinin olduğunu bilmeli ve güncel veriler ışığında başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edebilmelidir. Erken tanı ve tedavi, geç tanı daha kötü komplikasyonlara ve cerrahi müdahale gereksinimine yol açtığı için hayati önem taşımaktadır.

Seiring perkembangan zaman dan teknologi dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan hukum pidana yang ada di indonesia saat ini. hukum pidana yang berlaku saat  ini tidak terlepas dari tradisi-tradisi yang ada di lingkungan masyarakat indonesia. Salah satunya ialah kepercayaan masyarakat akan fenomena Mistis ilmu gaib. Hingga Saat ini ilmu gaib sangat marak terjadi di masyarakat indonesia ilmu gaib juga digunakan menjadi sarana yang dipilih untuk melukai seseorang bahkan membunuh seseorang, hal ini dilakukan oleh pelaku yang tidak bertanggung jawab untuk mendapatkan apa yang mereka inginkan untuk merugikan orang lain. Dalam KUHP lama sebelumnya memang sudah terdapat pasal-pasal yang sedikit banyak berkaitan dengan hal-hal gaib yang ada dalam Buku III, Bab VI tentang pelanggaran Kesusialan yaitu pasal 545, pasal 546, dan pasal 547 KUHP, setelah itu KUHP mengalami perubahan sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman. Maka dari itu hukum pidana yang baru ini akan hadir untuk menutup celah para dukun santet dalam melakukan kriminalitas nya yang merugikan masyarakat, Tindak pidana ini diatur dalam pasal 252 KUHP. Tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk memberikan salah satu pengetahuan mengenai pasal tentang ilmu gaib yang ada dalam KUHP agar masyarakat tidak mudah terjerumus kedalam perangkap penipuan oleh para oknum dukun ilmu gaib yang tidak bertanggung jawab.

Seiring dengan berkembangnya zaman, perkara tindak pidana bullying semakin banyak terjadi. Permasalahan mengenai bullying sudah terjadi cukup lama dan menjadi perbincangan hangat di kalangan masyarakat. Akan tetapi dalam upaya mengatasi perilaku bullying dirasa belum cukup dalam penanganan kasusnya. Banyak sekali pelaku perkara bullying dilakukan oleh anak dibawah umur. Dalam penyelesaian perkara tindak pidana bullying terdapat kontroversi dalam pengenaan sanksi terhadap pelaku. Seringkali sanksi yang diberikan tidak menimbulkan efek jera terhadap pelaku bahkan terdapat kemungkin pelaku bullying menambah ketajaman serangan terhadap korbannya. Restorative justice adalah salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan dalam menyelesaikan perkara ini. Penyelesaiaan perkara melalui restorative justice dilakukan untuk melindungi dan menghormati serta memberikan keadilan yang terbaik bagi korban bullying. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual dan perundang-undangan. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui upaya penyelesaian kasus bullying yang lebih efektif dengan pendekatan kekeluargaan sebagai bentuk pertanggungjawaban pelaku bullying terhadap korban.

Published: November 2023

This research aims to describe Jamaluddin Athiyyah’s thought both conceptually and in operational logic, as well as the factors of human values in al-maqa>s}id al-syariah and its progressive legal reasoning. This research is a literature with primary legal materials, books by Athiyyah, and various latest scientific journals. Research findings show that conceptually according to Athiyyah, the benefits that are the objectives of Sharia are universal and balanced, the urgency of understanding must be balanced between and the method of ushul Fiqh and Fiqh rules, so that the legal product is not textual-conservative or liberal subjective. According to Athiyyah, the factors of human values in al-maqasid al-syariah are:

1) Efforts to get to know, help, and complement each other, 2) Realization of the role of the human caliph on earth, 3) Realization of peace based on the value of justice, 4) State protection of human rights, and 5) Spread of Islamic da'wah. reasoning focuses on the substance of the goal to be achieved (ideal norms) in the enactment of a law. It is not just legal-formal legitimacy or legal rules labeled Sharia. Such legal logic is more progressive and elastic substantively and more politically dynamic to respond to the dialectic of Sharia and law in the development of national law. This research is expected to contribute to the

progressive implementation of al-maqa>s}id al-syari>ah in the context of developing humanist and universal Islamic law.

Authors: Manivannan Hemalatha , Anguraj Brinda Lakshmi , Venkatesan G.
Published: November 2023

The sulphonated magnetic carbonaceous catalyst (Fe3O4@AC-SO3H) was effectively synthesised by functionalising the sulphonic acid group (–SO3H) on the surface of the core-shell structure of magnetic nanoparticle grafted activated carbon and analysed by SEM, XRD, and FT-IR. The As-prepared catalyst may aggressively hydrolyse biomass to sugar in a shorter reaction time. Hydrolysis factors such as catalyst dose, reaction temperature, and duration all had a significant impact on the hydrolysis of pomegranate peel waste. The catalyst could liberate 46% of TRS in 2 hours at 140°C from acid-pretreated pomegranate peel waste. This catalyst can be easily regenerated using a magnet and reused for up to three cycles with improved stability.
Utilisation of Clamshell Waste for Removing Mercury From Water: Fixed Bed Adsorption and Modelling Studies
Authors: Baskar S. , Aswin Sidhaarth K.R. , Mangaleshwaran L.
Published: November 2023

The present communication investigated the sustainable utilization of the clamshell waste powder (CSP) for eliminating mercury through fixed bed adsorption. This CSP is freshly prepared and packed in a stable multi-port column. Their breakthrough performance in the column is evaluated by varying its bed depth (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 min) and flow rate (8, 10 and 12 mL/min). The CSP column’s design parameters and kinetic behavior are estimated from its breakthrough curve and validated using column models. The results revealed that slow saturation of the CSP bed and maximum adsorption capacity (2.8 mg/g) occurred at lower column depth (5 cm) and elevated influent flow rates (12 mL/min). Moreover, the mass transfer zone exhibited fluctuations with elevated column depth, indicating the presence of non-ideal conditions. The YN model showed superior fitness for mercury removal using CSP. The dynamic studies showed that CSP is a cost-effective, eco-friendly, biocompatible and sustainable adsorbent that can be successfully employed for treating industrial effluent.
Optimal stability for laminated beams with Kelvin–Voigt damping and Fourier’s law
Authors: Cabanillas Zannini Victor , Quispe Méndez Teófanes , Ramos A.J.A.
Published: November 2023

This article deals with the asymptotic behavior of a mathematical model for laminated beams with Kelvin–Voigt dissipation acting on the equations of transverse displacement and dimensionless slip. We prove that the evolution semigroup is exponentially stable if the damping is effective in the two equations of the model. Otherwise, we prove that the semigroup is polynomially stable and find the optimal decay rate when damping is effective only in the slip equation. Our stability approach is based on the Gearhart–Prüss–Huang Theorem, which characterizes exponential stability, while the polynomial decay rate is obtained using the Borichev and Tomilov Theorem.

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of effective biomarkers that predict immunotherapy efficacy in clear cell renal cell carcinoma(KIRC). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify biomarkers that would predict the efficacy of KIRC treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). METHODS: Cohort data of KIRC patients with somatic mutations, mRNA expression and survival data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and immunotherapy cohort and Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database were analyzed and divided into interleukin 3 (IL3) pathway-related genes high expression (IL3-High) and IL3 pathway-related genes low expression (IL3-Low) groups according to pathway expression status to assess the relationship between the IL3 pathway-related genes activation status and the prognosis of KIRC patients treated with ICIs. The data were validated by immunohistochemistry experiments, and possible mechanisms of action were explored at the level of gene mutation landscape, immune microenvironment characteristics, transcriptome and copy number variation(CNV) characteristics RESULTS: The IL3 pathway-related genes was an independent predictor of the efficacy of ICIs in KIRC patients, and the IL3-High group had a longer overall survival (OS); KIRC patients in the IL3-High group had increased levels of chemokines, cytolysis, immune checkpoint gene expression and abundant immunity. The IL3-Low group had poor immune cell infiltration and significant downregulation of complement activation, cytophagy, B-cell activation, and humoral immune response pathways. The high group was more sensitive to targeted drugs of some signaling pathways, and its efficacy in combining these drugs with immunity has been predicted in the published literature. CONCLUSION: The IL3 pathway-related genes can be used as a predictor of the efficacy of ICIs in KIRC. The IL3 pathway-related genes may affect the therapeutic efficacy of ICIs by affecting the expression of immune-related molecules, immune cell infiltration, and the level of immune response pathways.

Published: November 2023

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia, causing a huge socioeconomic burden. In parallel with the widespread uptake of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology, there has been a rapid accumulation of data produced by researching AD at single-cell resolution, which is more conductive to explore the neuroimmune-related mechanism of AD. Objective: To explore the potential features of T cells in the peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid of AD patients. Methods: Two datasets, GSE181279 and GSE134578, were integrated from GEO database. Seurat, Monocle, CellChat, scRepertoire, and singleR packages were mainly employed for data analysis. Results: Our analysis demonstrated that in peripheral blood, T cells were significantly expanded, and these expanded T cells were possessed effector function, such as CD8+TEMRA, CD4+TEMRA, and CD8+TEM. Interestingly, CD8+TEMRA and CD4+TEMRA cells positioned adjacently after dimensions reduction and clustering. Notably, we identified that the expanded T cells were developed from Naïve T cells and TCM cells, and TEM cells was in the intermediate state of this developing process. Additionally, in cerebrospinal fluid of AD patients, the amplified T cells were mainly CD8+TEMRA cells, and the number and strength of communication between CD4+TEM, CD8+TEM, and CD8+TEMRA were decreased in AD patients. Conclusions: Our comprehensive analyses identified the cells in cerebrospinal fluid from AD patients are expanded TEMRA or TEM cells and the TEMRA cells communicating with other immune cells is weakened, which may be an important immune feature that leads to AD.
It’s time to build: A small area estimation methodology for time-to-event data

Published: November 2023

There is an ever-present demand for statistical agencies to improve the timeliness, granularity and cost-efficiency of their official statistics. Our methodology for small area estimation using time-to-event data addresses these demands, as it utilises existing data sources to produce timely estimates at finer levels of geography. We illustrate this methodology with our application to the Australian Building Activity Survey, which has been successfully repurposed to obtain small area estimates of newly completed dwellings with associated uncertainty estimates. The methodology is widely applicable, and we discuss further subject areas where it can be introduced to improve value for users of official statistics.
