Published: July 2024

Strong gravitational lensing offers a powerful probe of the detailed distribution of matter in lenses, while magnifying and bringing faint background sources into view. Observed strong lensing by massive galaxy clusters, which are often in complex dynamical states, has also been used to map their dark matter (DM) substructures on smaller scales. Deep high-resolution imaging has revealed the presence of strong lensing events associated with these substructures, namely galaxy-scale sub-halos. However, an inventory of these observed galaxy–galaxy strong lensing (GGSL) events is noted to be discrepant with state-of-the-art ΛCDM simulations. Cluster sub-halos appear to be over-concentrated compared to their simulated counterparts yielding an order-of-magnitude higher value of GGSL. In this paper, we explore the possibility of resolving this observed discrepancy by redistributing the mass within observed cluster sub-halos in ways that are consistent within the ΛCDM paradigm of structure formation. Lensing mass reconstructions from data provide constraints on the mass enclosed within apertures and are agnostic to the detailed mass profile within them. Therefore, as the detailed density profile within cluster sub-halos currently remains unconstrained by data, we are afforded the freedom to redistribute the enclosed mass. We investigate if rearranging the mass to a more centrally concentrated density profile helps alleviate the GGSL discrepancy. We report that refitting cluster sub-halos to the ubiquitous ΛCDM-motivated Navarro–Frenk–White profile, and further modifying them to include significant baryonic components, does not resolve this tension. A resolution to this persisting GGSL discrepancy may require more careful exploration of alternative DM models.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: To ensure the appropriate usage of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), recently introduced in our hospital, we aimed to determine susceptibility rates, enzyme analysis, and clonal relationship among strains, together with clinical data.
Methodology: Between June 1 and September 30, 2021, demographic and microbiological data of the patients were recorded. In the obtained samples, meropenem and colistin minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) levels, carbapenem resistance genes, and the clonal relationship were studied by molecular methods. CAZ-AVI was not used in any of the patients.
Results: 140 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from 57 patients. Resistance to CAZ-AVI was found in 76 (54.3%) strains. Out of 57 patients, 31 (54.4%) isolates could be reached. Meropenem MIC level was ≥ 32 µg/mL in 26 (83.9%), and colistin MIC level was ≥ 4 µg/mL in 17 (54.8%) isolates. Enzyme analysis revealed NDM in 20 (64.5%), OXA-48 in 17 (54.8%), and KPC in seven (22.6%). NDM + OXA-48 was determined in 10 (32.2%) strains. NDM was determined in all CAZ-AVI resistant strains, OXA-48 in 16.1% (2/5) strains. Seven genotypes were detected. The largest cluster was genotype 3 clusters (11 isolates). Of 31 patients, 22 (71.0%) died. CAZ-AVI was susceptible in one of the patients who survived and four who died.
Conclusions: Before using a new antibiotic, each center should determine the basal data and phenotypic/genotypic resistance ratios specific to that antibiotic. While a high NDM rate and low CAZ-AVI sensitivity limit the use of the drug in our center, it is clear that CAZ-AVI use in sensitive strains will decrease mortality.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of colistin sulfate (CS) with polymyxin B sulfate (PMB) in the treatment of pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB).
Methodology: Patients diagnosed with pneumonia caused by CR-GNB and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) from January 2020 to September 2022 were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into the CS group and the PMB group according to their medication regimens. Group-wise demographic data, clinical efficacy, prognosis, and adverse events were analyzed and compared.
Results: A total of 120 patients (68 in the CS group and 52 in the PMB group) with pneumonia were included in the study. The majority of the pathogens were CR-Acinetobacter baumannii, followed by CR-Klebsiella pneumoniae, and CR-Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The clinical response rates in the CS and PMB groups after treatment were 62.0% and 65.4%, bacterial clearances were 44.0% and 36.5%, 28-day mortality rates were 16.0% and 13.5%, respectively; no significant differences between the two treatments were found. Nevertheless, the adverse effects were significantly less common in the CS group than in the PMB group, especially when treatments were administered intravenously.
Conclusions: CS, a novel polymyxin E formulation, is as effective as PMB in treating pneumonia induced by CR-GNB while causing less side effects.
Disentangling the effects of abiotic and biotic processes on non-indigenous species dominance

Published: July 2024

Relatively little attention has been paid to the underlying mechanisms determining the dominance of non-indigenous species (NIS) once established, despite being regarded as a proxy of invasion success and potential impacts in recipient communities. To bridge this knowledge gap, here we evaluate the potential direct and indirect effects of community filters on the dominance of two widespread NIS in the Baltic Sea: Marenzelleria spp. and the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) within their corresponding communities. We applied a structural equation modelling approach to assess the direct and indirect effects amongst multiple abiotic and biotic variables on the relative biomass (as proxy of dominance) of NIS. The biotic variables represented the taxonomic- and functional diversity of the recipient communities, as well as the trait similarity between NIS and native species. We observed a comparable influence of abiotic and biotic drivers on the dominance of both NIS, with biotic variables having a somewhat stronger overall direct effect. Specifically, the dominance of both NIS was similarly affected negatively by the richness and positively by the evenness of the native communities. However, we also detected that both NIS might need different ecological strategies to become dominant in their recipient communities, which underwent similar assembly processes. Such strategies were partly highlighted by the different degrees of trait similarity between each NIS and their respective co-occurring native species. A better understanding of the underlying processes affecting NIS dominance is of high relevance to mitigate potential impacts of NIS once established. Furthermore, the provided approach could be further applied to unveil the potential strategies that NIS might follow in other regions and ecosystem types.

Published: July 2024

In this study, the biodiversity of Chironomidae was investigated in Palmer Park Pond A, an urban vernal pond in Detroit, Michigan, USA. This study is developed as part of our ongoing Public Environmental Outreach Program at the Detroit Exploration and Nature Center in Palmer Park. Twenty-one Chironomidae species were discovered in and on the adjacent riparian vegetation of this pond using molecular and morphological methods. Three species Bryophaenocladius palmerparcum Namayandeh & Hudson sp. nov., Limnophyes stagnum Namayandeh, Guerra & Ram sp. nov., and Rheocricotopus (s. s.) angustus Namayandeh & Hudson sp. nov. are new to science. Bryophaenocladius palmerparcumsp. nov. and L. stagnumsp. nov. are unusual Orthoclads, with B. palmerparcumsp. nov. possessing a setose, short, and wide anal point and L. stagnumsp. nov. lacking lanceolate setae on both sexes. Based on the shape of superior volsella, R. angustussp. nov., belongs to the effusus group, which was also confirmed by DNA barcoding molecular analysis. In this study, a new faunistic record was also found for the Nearctic as well as four new faunistic records for the state of Michigan. Ephemeral aquatic habitats such as vernal pools are often overlooked or destroyed by urbanization activities, controlling vector species, creating groomed fields, and/or residential development. Therefore, finding these new species demonstrates the biodiversity value of vernal ponds as important habitats, further motivating us to preserve them.
Four mathematical modeling forms for correlation filter object tracking algorithms and the fast calculation for the filter
Authors: Chen Yingpin , Chen Kaiwei
Published: July 2024

The correlation filter object tracking algorithm has gained extensive attention from scholars in the field of tracking because of its excellent tracking performance and efficiency. However, the mathematical modeling relationships of correlation filter tracking frameworks are unclear. Therefore, many forms of correlation filters are susceptible to confusion and misuse. To solve these problems, we attempted to review various forms of the correlation filter and discussed their intrinsic connections. First, we reviewed the basic definitions of the circulant matrix, convolution, and correlation operations. Then, the relationship among the three operations was discussed. Considering this, four mathematical modeling forms of correlation filter object tracking from the literature were listed, and the equivalence of the four modeling forms was theoretically proven. Then, the fast solution of the correlation filter was discussed from the perspective of the diagonalization property of the circulant matrix and the convolution theorem. In addition, we delved into the difference between the one-dimensional and two-dimensional correlation filter responses as well as the reasons for their generation. Numerical experiments were conducted to verify the proposed perspectives. The results showed that the filters calculated based on the diagonalization property and the convolution property of the cyclic matrix were completely equivalent.

Determinants and invertibility of circulant matrices
Authors: Guo Xiuyun , Zhang Xue
Published: July 2024

Let $ a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{n-1} $ be real numbers and let $ A = Circ(a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{n-1}) $ be a circulant matrix with $ f(x) = \Sigma ^{n-1}_{j = 0}a_jx^j $. First, we prove that $ Circ(a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{n-1}) $ must be invertible if the sequence $ a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{n-1} $ is a strictly monotonic sequence and $ a_0+a_1+\dots+a_{n-1}\neq 0 $. Next, we reduce the calculation of $ f(\varepsilon ^0)f(\varepsilon)\dots f(\varepsilon ^{n-1}) $ for a prime $ n $ by using the techniques on finite fields, where $ \varepsilon $ is a primitive $ n $-th root of unity. Finally, we provide two examples to explain how to use the obtained results to calculate the determinant of a circulant matrix.

Authors: Faruk Omar , Rashid Masud Ur
Published: July 2024

Human settlements are not only built forms, but also a reflection of domestic and regional cultural orientations. The courtyard style is the most ancient and common form of planning on the Indian subcontinent. Indigenous culture and climate demand this open space. Whatever happens in society has a visible impact on courtyards. This research aims to classify the different courtyards and show that, in most contemporary courtyards, basic traits are missing. Showing the modern courtyard concept is more of a shared space than a courtyard is one of the major concerns of this study. Collecting data and information and making a guideline for an ideal courtyard formed the basis of this research. This study gave an output that shows how the impression of the indigenous courtyard, and the social statement has waned gradually from the vernacular settlement to modern housing.

Published: July 2024

Indonesia is a nation with different religious affiliations and this diversity has substantial implications for inter-religious relations. The multi-religious context presented challenges in the form of potential horizontal conflicts. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the significance of cultivating an attitude of openness and engaging in constructive dialogue among different faiths to address the challenges effectively. Traditions in Minahasa show various important values for religious moderation, which have the potential to contribute ideas to issues of relations between communities. This article is a qualitative descriptive analysis method. Several references such as articles, books and other related sources are the backbone to construct the ideas and insights of this work. The results show that the multicultural reality accompanied by fundamentalist attitudes has an impact on interreligious relations. This can be prevented and reduced with the concept of dialogue from the values and philosophy of si tou timou tumou tou and torang samua basudara.Contribution: This article serves as a valuable contribution to the religious discourse within the Indonesian community, particularly by incorporating the rich local values derived from Minahasa. It adds depth to the ongoing religious dialogue, fostering a nuanced understanding that embraces the diverse cultural and spiritual perspectives present in Indonesia.

Published: July 2024

Regular use of organic fertilizer can improve soil health, reduce erosion, and increase agricultural sustainability by reducing dependence on synthetic chemicals. Kasgot fertilizer or used maggot fertilizer is a type of organic fertilizer produced from maggot droppings (larva lalat Black Soldier Fly) after they decompose organic waste. This fertilizer is rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and contains various beneficial microorganisms that help increase soil fertility. This research aims to determine the effect of cassava fertilizer on the growth of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.).This study used non-factorial RAK with 4 administration dose levels, namely: M0= 0 grams/planting hole, M1= 5 grams/planting hole, M2= 10 grams/planting hole and M3= 20 grams/planting hole. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance tests on the parameters of plant height, number of leaves and root weight. The results of the research showed that the parameters of plant height and number of leaves showed significant differences between plants aged 2 WAP and 4 WAP, while root weight did not have a significant difference between treatments and each replication. Additional doses or other organic materials are needed to increase the macro nutrients available in the soil.

Published: July 2024

In an ever-changing market, inventory management is becoming a major problem that requires thorough planning, supervision, and control. If companies are well managed and have good planning and control, they can last a long time. Poor inventory management is very detrimental to the business as it can cause the company to fail to meet customer or consumer demands, which can lead customers to choose other companies that can meet their demands. Plan your stockpiles to maintain balance, avoid excess or deficiency, and control storage costs. ABC analysis, one of the most common inventory management techniques, divides inventory into three categories (A, B, and C) based on total annual product usage or total inventory cost based on the Pareto principle. The goal of this study is to use ABC analysis in the company's inventory management to identify products in categories A, B, and C based on profitability and sales factors. The research phases include data collection, data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, ABC analysis, key product analysis, and explanatory analysis. According to the research findings, Segment A accounts for 18% of the total product and generates 78% of the overall profit. Segment B contributes 23% of the total number of items and 16% of all revenue.

INTRODUÇÃO: A Síndrome de La Tourette (ST) consiste em uma patologia neuropsiquátrica de início na infância, caracterizada pelo comprometimento psicológico e social dos acometidos, causando impacto na vida dos portadores e familiares. Ela é geralmente associada ainda a uma variedade de problemas comportamentais e emocionais. Estudos atuais demonstram que a taxa de prevalência pode variar de 1% a 2,9% em alguns grupos e que acomete mais o sexo masculino. OBJETIVO: Realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre os principais aspectos relacionados à Síndrome de La Tourette. MATERIAIS/SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Foram  realizadas revisão sistemática de estudos de casos, artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, SciELO e Cochrane entre 1990 e dezembro de 2022. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: A ST é uma desordem que cursa com tiques motores, sensitivos e vocais. O início dos sintomas geralmente se manifesta durante a infância ou juventude, eventualmente atingindo estágios classificados como crônicos. Quando o diagnóstico e o tratamento são feitos precocemente, os sintomas vão aos poucos se amenizando e diminuindo. O diagnóstico da Síndrome de La Tourette é clínico, não existindo nenhum teste laboratorial específico que confirme esta patologia. O tipo de tratamento deve ser apropriado para cada portador da ST, podendo incluir abordagens farmacológica e a psicológica, os mais utilizados são os antagonistas dos receptores de dopamina. CONCLUSÃO: Desta forma, conhecer os aspectos gerais sobre a  etiopatogenia, apresentação clínica e o tratamento da ST é importante. A ST causa diversos prejuízos, mas o diagnóstico e tratamento precoces são capazes de diminuir tais danos, sendo capaz de melhorar a qualidade de vida dos portadores dessa doença.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: A cicatrização cutânea (CC) é um processo complexo, dependente de vários sistemas e células especializadas, dividido em três fases: inflamatória, proliferativa e de remodelação. Sua evolução pode ser influenciada por doenças crônicas, pela localização da ferida e por fatores externos. Quando cronificada, a ferida pode apresentar potencial de malignização. Objetivo: Este artigo tem por objetivo revisar a literatura sobre aspectos fisiológicos da CC, aspectos fisiopatológicos relacionados a defeitos neste processo, bem como terapias mais utilizadas como adjuvantes na regeneração tecidual. Materiais, Sujeitos e Métodos: Para a elaboração do presente artigo foram consultados artigos científicos e de revisão disponíveis na SciELO, Google Acadêmico e PubMED, entre 2020 e 2024. Resultados e Discussão: A pele possui diversas funções, atuando como barreira física e imunológica, e auxiliando na hemostasia, na termorregulação e na propriocepção sensitiva. Para o desempenho dessas funções, sua integridade é necessária. Assim, diante de uma ferida, a regeneração tecidual é essencial para o reestabelecimento funcional da pele e envolve uma série de eventos moleculares e celulares coordenados. A compreensão fisiológica dessa sequência de eventos permite o desenvolvimento de intervenções terapêuticas que podem melhorar a CC e reduzir complicações. Considerações Finais:A CC é um processo complexo da pele, multissistêmico, comum a todas as feridas. Pode ser prejudicada por fatores como doenças de base, técnicas cirúrgicas e processos inflamatórios e infecciosos. A compreensão de sua fisiologia é necessária para o manejo das feridas e para evitar complicações em seu curso.

Objetivo: Investigar a eventual existência da relação entre Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Distúrbios Alimentares através de um estudo de Revisão de literatura e caracterizá-la. Métodos: Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e coleta de dados de artigos publicados no período de 1980 a 2024, utilizando as bases de dados Medline, Lilacs, SciELO, ISI e PsycINFO. Foram considerados válidos para este trabalho pacientes com diagnóstico clínico Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção já estabelecido e estudos que forneceram estatísticas de prevalência de distúrbios alimentares na população geral. Resultados: A maioria dos artigos utilizados evidenciaram maior associação dos pacientes portadores de Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção com distúrbios alimentares do que quando comparado com a população geral, especialmente em mulheres. Discussão: Indivíduos portadores de Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção apresentam maior prevalência de concomitantemente apresentarem distúrbio alimentar. Não fica claro qual das comorbidades é fator de risco e qual é desenvolvida em consequência da outra, se ambas são mutuamente fatores de risco e/ou se não possuem relação entre si mas sim com um terceiro fator em comum. É importante a realização de mais pesquisas científicas e trabalhos acerca do assunto para esclarecer a relação entre as comorbidades, investigar se há diferença na efetividade de tratamentos quando tais patologias se apresentam em conjunto e propiciar melhor manejo das mesmas.

Published: July 2024

Introducción: alcanzar un adecuado control glucémico posprandial aún constituye un desafío para muchas personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1). El conteo de hidratos de carbono permitió mejorar las excursiones glucémicas posprandiales inmediatas a la ingesta, pero hay evidencia que señala que otros macronutrientes, como grasas y proteínas, podrían tener un efecto significativo sobre la glucemia posprandial tardía.
Objetivos: describir el impacto de las proteínas, las grasas y la fibra sobre la glucemia posprandial tardía en personas con DM1 en tratamiento con insulina multidosis y conteo de hidratos de carbono.
Materiales y métodos: se analizaron 855 registros alimentarios y glucémicos de 65 personas adultas. Se vincularon variables nutricionales con la respuesta glucémica posprandial tardía. Se aplicaron modelos univariados y multivariados de regresión lineal para “incremento de glucemia >70 mg/dl”. Se utilizó un nivel de significancia de 0,05.
Resultados: el consumo de >12,5 g de proteínas constituyó un factor predictor de casi el doble de riesgo de incremento de la glucemia posprandial tardía >70 mg (p=0,003). La presencia de >20 g de grasa mostró más riesgo de hiperglucemia posprandial tardía, sin alcanzar significancia estadística (p=0,065). La ingesta de fibra estuvo por debajo de las recomendaciones. Cuando se consumieron >6 g por comida, se comprobó un 42% menos de probabilidad de aumento de la glucemia posprandial tardía >70 mg/dl (p=0,017).
Conclusiones: la ingesta de >6 g de fibra por comida mostró un 42% menos de probabilidad de aumento de la glucemia posprandial tardía >70 mg/dl. La ingesta de >12,5 g de proteínas demostró ser un predictor de riesgo de aumento de la glucemia posprandial tardía >70 mg/dl. La educación nutricional debe ser una estrategia terapéutica de primer nivel para mejorar las elecciones alimentarias.
