Various Approaches for Nano-Scale Devices Design
Authors: Vijay Singh Indra
Published: August 2024

5G is poised to significantly contribute to meeting the soaring demands for wireless networks, surpassing current standards in quality, efficiency, and speed. The existing bandwidth used by 4G and its predecessors is overwhelmed by the multitude of devices. To counter this, 5G adopts higher frequencies, such as the mm-Wave spectrum, introducing a new dimension for applications across imaging, sensing, radar, and communication. This study delves into various device design strategies like thin body, graded channel, halo doping, and multiple-gate. These approaches are examined in relation to threshold voltage (VTH) and RF performance metrics like Av, fT, and fMAX, particularly in the low moderate inversion region. The goal is to cater to low power consumption and high-frequency applications. The findings strongly indicate that sub-100 nm FD-SOI MOSFETs will emerge as formidable contenders for analog/RF applications in the lucrative 5G wireless communications market of today.
Overcoming the Hurdle: HLA Mismatch and Desensitization Therapy in Kidney Transplantation
Authors: Courville Karen , Bustamante Norman
Published: August 2024

The success of kidney transplantation hinges on compatibility between donor and recipient. However, a major obstacle lies in the presence of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) mismatches. These protein markers on cell surfaces trigger the recipient’s immune system to attack the transplanted kidney. This challenge is particularly prevalent in patients who have developed antibodies against mismatched HLA antigens due to prior transplants, blood transfusions, or pregnancies. This chapter delves into the complexities of HLA mismatch and its impact on kidney transplant outcomes. We explore the immunological basis for rejection and discuss the limitations of traditional matching strategies. Desensitization therapy emerges as a beacon of hope, offering a range of techniques to reduce pre-existing anti-HLA antibodies and improve transplant success rates. We deepen into the mechanisms of desensitization, exploring various approaches like plasma exchange, immunoadsorption, and B-cell depletion therapies; we mention the most common side effects of these treatments; and the chapter concludes by examining the current state of desensitization protocols and their potential to revolutionize kidney transplantation for a broader range of patients.
When there is no need for immunosupresives: Combined Bone Marrow and Kidney Transplantation
Authors: Herenda Vedad , Rebić Damir , Hamzić-Mehmedbašić Aida , Ribić-Mrkonja Azra , Odobašić Merima
Published: August 2024

The holy grail of transplantation is the induction of donor-specific tolerance. In that possible scenario, there is no need for immunosuppressive therapy anymore. The main goal of this approach is to improve allograft survival by avoiding side effects of immunosuppressive therapy. There are promising reports about patients whose allograft kidney function remains stable after they have undergone bone marrow transplantation. The main obstacle in the last years was too aggressive therapy and procedures that were undertaken before bone marrow transplantation. There is high potential of this approach as well as dangers but due to progress in science, it is reasonable to believe that combined transplantation could be used more in the future.

Authors:   Kapi`olani Medical Center for Women & Children, Honolulu, HI, USA., Tanaka Lauren A , Yamamoto Loren G ,   University of Hawai`i John A. Burns School of Medicine, Honolulu, HI, USA.
Published: August 2024

Background: Majority of pediatric patients who present to the Emergency Department (ED) with a first time unprovoked seizure are not fully worked up during their ED stay and are instead hospitalized for further evaluation. Obtaining a full work up in the ED has not been widely studied but could prove to ensure more cost-effective treatments, decrease resource utilization, and reduce physician work. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients under 18 years old presenting to the ED with first time unprovoked seizures from January 2014 through May 2022. 194 patients were included in the study and an evaluation strategy score was calculated for the patients who received a full evaluation (EEG, brain imaging, decision to start anticonvulsants) in hospitalized patients, ED patients (all elements completed in ED), and outpatient (all elements completed in ED and outpatient setting) patients. This score was a proxy measure for physician work and hospital resources consumed to manage the patient. Results: Patients who received a full workup in the ED had the lowest evaluation work score (5.3) followed by those who received an outpatient workup (5.4) and inpatient workup (10.6) (p<0.001). The outpatient workup took the longest to receive their necessary EEG (836 hours) and brain imaging (1401 hours). The ED workup strategy took the least amount of time to receive their EEG (3.6 hours) and brain imaging (3.1 hours) which yielded a faster anticonvulsant decision. Conclusion: Our decision analysis showed that the ED workup strategy had the lowest resource utilization score and was the fastest to complete the necessary EEG, brain imaging, and anticonvulsant medication decisions for patients presenting to the ED with a first time unprovoked seizure. The workup for a first time unprovoked seizure can be tedious, thus physicians should consider fully working up these patients in the ED.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sağlık göstergelerinin sağlık sistemleri üzerinde kaynak kullanımındaki rolünü ortaya koymaktır. Amaç doğrultusunda ilk olarak veri zarflama analizi (VZA) ile BCC ve CCR etkinlik skorları elde edilmiştir. Ardından hesaplanan bu skorlar sansürlenerek panel Tobit regresyon analiziyle kaynak etkinsizliklerine yol açabilecek parametreler araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada, seçilmiş altı G-20 ülkesinin 2009-2020 yılları arası sağlık göstergeleri incelenerek sağlık sistemlerinin etkinlikleri analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmaya Almanya, Birleşik Krallık, İtalya, Fransa, Kanada ve Türkiye dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmanın girdi değişkenleri 1000 kişi başına düşen uzman hekim, pratisyen hekim ve hemşire sayıları ile kişisel sağlık harcamalarıdır. Çıktı değişkenleri ise anne, bebek ve kaba ölüm oranlarıdır. VZA’ya göre BCC ve CCR skorlarında Türkiye, İtalya ve Kanada tüm yıllarda kaynaklarını etkin şekilde kullanmıştır. BCC skoruna göre Fransa 2010, 2011, 2012 ve 2015 yılları hariç hiçbir dönemde kaynaklarını etkin şekilde kullanamamıştır. Benzer şekilde BCC skoruna göre Almanya 2015 ve 2017 yılları hariç hiçbir dönemde, Birleşik Krallık ise BCC ve CCR skorlarına göre hiçbir dönemde kaynaklarını etkin şekilde kullanamamıştır. Panel Tobit regresyonu sonucuna göre anne ölüm oranları teknik olarak kaynak kullanımını anlamlı bir şekilde olumsuz etkilemiştir. Sonuç olarak kaynaklarını etkin şekilde değerlendiremeyen ülkelerin verimlilik açısından sağlık göstergelerini iyileştirmeleri, gereksiz tüketilen sağlık hizmetlerini azaltmaları ve nitelikli sağlık personeli istihdamını artırmaları gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır.
Mechanical and Thermal Properties of PP/HDPE Blends Reinforced with ZnO Nanoparticles for Industrial Applications
Authors: Ban Jawad Kadhim  , Atheer Hussein Mahdi  , Nabeel Hasan Al-Mutairi
Published: August 2024

In this work, a polymeric blend of polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was prepared with different weight percentages. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) were added to the 90/10 and 80/20 blends with different weight ratios (1%, 2%, and 3%) to study their effect on both the mechanical and thermal properties of the PP/HDPE blends. A twin-screw extruder was used for the preparation of polymeric blends and their composites. Mechanical properties (tensile properties and hardness) were studied. Thermal properties using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were investigated. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was used to predict the change in chemical structure. Results for PP/HDPE blends show that both tensile strength and hardness decrease as the amount of HDPE increases due to immiscibility, and these properties are improved by the addition of ZnO nanoparticles. Thermal properties from DSC show that the melting temperature Tm, crystallization temperature Tc were improved by the ZnO addition, and the degree of crystallinity improved only for the90/10 blend. FTIR shows that there is only a physical interaction, not a chemical one.

Published: August 2024

The rapid development of the times always demands changes in every sector, including in the scope of government. In running the government system, good public sector governance is needed, where its implementation is further developed through bureaucratic reform, which refers to Presidential Regulation Number 81 of 2010 concerning the Grand Design of Bureaucratic Reform 2010-2025. As one of the government agencies, the implementation of bureaucratic reform is carried out by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, one of which is realized through strengthening performance accountability, which refers to Presidential Regulation Number 29 of 2014 concerning the Performance Accountability System of Government Agencies. The results of the evaluation of the 2015-2022 Government Agency Performance Accountability assessment are always at the predicate of "BB" with a relatively stagnant value between >70-80 according to the 2015-2022 Government Agency Performance Accountability Evaluation Report of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of public sector governance in implementing the Government Agency Performance Accountability System at the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. The population in this study is the State Civil Apparatus of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, and the sample selection uses non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique. The research was carried out qualitatively by adopting Duncan's theory of effectiveness in his book "Organizational Effectiveness," which consists of the dimensions of goal achievement, integration, and adaptation. The results of the study show that public sector governance in the implementation of the Government Agency Performance Accountability System at the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, in general, has been running effectively from the dimension of measuring integration and adaptation, while when viewed from the dimension of measuring the achievement of goals is still not fully running effectively.

Published: August 2024

Pacenan house is a traditional house of the coastal area in Situbondo. The architectural style of Pacenan house is adapted from Tanean lanjhang traditional house. The spatial pattern of Pacenan house differs from that of Tanean Lanjhang, as Pacenan house only has "roma" (rooms) and "amper" (open spaces). However, over time, the spatial patterns of Pacenan house have transformed. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the transformations in spatial patterns and their impact on the building shapes of Pacenan houses in Sumberejo, Situbondo. Research data was obtained through field observations and interviews. The data was then analyzed descriptively. The results indicate changes in spatial patterns occurring in Pacenan houses in the village of Sumberejo, including the addition of rooms and alterations in the function of spaces. Transformations in spatial patterns are influenced by space requirements, land availability, social factors, and economic considerations. The impact of these changes in spatial patterns varies; some result in alterations to the building's form, while others do not transform the structure.

Problem: There is a growing body of research investigating a variety of parameters affected by collagen peptide (CP) supplementation during structured exercise programs. The aim of this review is to focus on the musculoskeletal performance outcomes potentially affected by CP intake in healthy adults. Methods: A comprehensive literature search using defined MeSH terms was conducted in four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO and Cochrane) by two independent reviewers. The resulting studies were used for systematic review and a random-effects meta-analysis. Results: A total of 13 studies were included in this review. Two primary study objectives were identified, categorizing studies into those focusing on a potential effect of CP intake on adaptation to training stimuli and those focusing on recovery from training stimuli. Nine of these studies were used for in-depth meta-analysis. Of the 55 performance parameters extracted, 48 were unaffected by additional CP intake. Furthermore, the meta-analysis revealed no significant effect of CP on strength-related performance parameters (SMD=0.079 [-0.120 to 0.273], p=0.445). Discussion: The studies included show a high degree of homogeneity in most methodological aspects and have a low risk of biased results, which supports the validity of the results found. Nevertheless, this result represents the current state of scientific knowledge. Conclusion: The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the available studies suggests the ineffectiveness of CP supplementation in addition to exercise to further improve musculoskeletal performance.
Linkage of Money Growth on Banks Credit – Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Sipahutar Mangasa Augustinus
Published: August 2024

This study explained the banks credit growth both in total and by usage for investment, working capital and consumer, related to monetary policy and bank view perspective. By using OLS method, estimate model explained that change of money growth affects positively total credit growth, investment and working capital credit. The coefficient of change of money growth is smaller than one to investment and working capital growth, ceteris paribus, where the banks reserves and discount rate are constant. The coefficient is still quite small compared to the role of banks as transmission monetary channel and the ability of banks as money multiplier. For consumer credit, there is not enough strong evidence to suggest that money growth has a positive effect on consumer credit growth. There is a negative relationship between money growth to consumer credit growth and significant at α = 10%. Therefore, because consumer credit does not have a multiplier effect on economic growth, banks expansivity in consumer credit should be restricted when Bank Indonesia implements a monetary expansion policy, and diverts greater credit disbursement to investment and working capital usages to promote economic growth.

Authors: Csehes András
Published: August 2024

Alkotmánymódosítás következtében Franciaország vált a világ egyik első államává, amely jogilag deklarálta, hogy minden nő számára garantált a terhesség önkéntes megszakításának szabadsága. Ugyan a deklaráció hatásai még nem láthatók, az abortusz szabadságának alkotmányban való rögzítése számos kérdést felvet. Ezek közé tartozhat, hogy milyen dinamikák szerint ment végbe a franciaországi abortuszszabályozás története, milyen indokokkal legitimálható az alkotmánymódosítás, vagy akár az, hogy valóban Franciaország tekinthető-e a világ első államának, amely alkotmányában rögzítette az abortuszhoz való jog védelmét.

Published: August 2024

Background: Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks can both reduce intraoperative opioid use and pain scores. However, its role in enhancing postoperative recovery for adult cardiac patients requires further investigation. This study examines the impact of ultrasound-guided nerve block on adult cardiac patients' recovery. Methods: We conducted a systematic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2018 to 2022, focusing ultrasound-guided nerve block in adult cardiac surgery. The search included Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases, targeting studies on elective thoracotomy. The outcomes analyzed included postoperative extubation time, intensive care unit (ICU) stay time, and length of hospital stay (LOS), using Review Manager software (Review Manager 5.4, The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020, Beijing, China) for data synthesis and analysis. Results: Out of 26 RCTs, eight studies involving including 424 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that ultrasound-guided nerve block significantly reduced postoperative extubation time (odds ratio [OR] = –2.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: –3.05 to –1.26), ICU stay (OR = –1.17, 95% CI: –1.40 to –0.94), and overall hospitalization duration (OR = –0.96, 95% CI: –1.64 to –0.29). Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided nerve block significantly reduces the postoperative extubation time, ICU stay, and LOS, in adult cardiovascular surgery. These benefits contribute substantially to enhanced recovery after cardiac procedures. Registration: PROSPERO (CRD42023470545).
La forma como conducto a la revisión de la historia en Concierto barroco (1974) de Alejo Carpentier
Authors: Verástegui Maristela
Published: August 2024

Desde la lectura de su título, Concierto barroco tienta permanentemente al lector y al crítico a ligar la novela a la música, a tratar de probar que el texto refleja la forma que lo nombra. Pero Carpentier propone en el título una forma que, si bien usa en principio, pronto supera mediante el acto de la escritura misma. Varios autores han intentado, con mayor o menor precisión, revelar la forma musical escondida en los escritos de Carpentier. El esfuerzo mayor, por razones obvias, es el de ajustar Concierto barroco al concierto como forma musical, y sobretodo durante la época barroca. El problema es que durante el Barroco el concierto es todavía una forma en proceso de consolidación, como se puede apreciar en la obra de su principal exponente, Antonio Vivaldi. Más allá de la innegable influencia de la música en la obra del erudito cubano, importa indagar en el porqué del uso de la forma musical y del alejamiento de la misma a medida que avanza el desarrollo temático de Concierto barroco, y que, en un autor con tan vasta cultura musical como Carpentier, no se puede considerar producto del azar. Para él, esta forma musical es un conducto a través del cual puede hacer una alegoría de la América Latina como un lugar que sobrepasa los límites temporales. De la misma manera, el concierto como esquema de organización de la obra es superado y se convierte en algo distinto, en deliciosa improvisación al mejor estilo de los grandes del Barroco.
Diseño gráfico para la nación. Escudería Colombiana del siglo XIX.
Authors: Delgado Osorio Claudia , Bermúdez-Castillo Jairo Alfredo
Published: August 2024

Este trabajo es sobre el diseño gráfico del escudo de armas de la República de Colombia, creado y difundido durante el siglo XIX. El artículo es derivado de una investigación sobre la creación de la imagen de la nación colombiana, en cuya exploración se encontró que, nuestro escudo de armas, resultó ser una abstracción del discurso de la elite para favorecer sus intereses particulares como parte inherente a la representación de la nación, después de una independencia política. La síntesis gráfica en el blasón osciló entre símbolos locales, de herencia española, desde la colonia granadina, hasta unos forzados emblemas europeizados puestos en el escudo de armas de la República de Colombia, en 1834, y ratificados en 1886. Sus componentes pictóricos, hoy por hoy, podrían ser analizados como sofismas que excluyeron a las clases populares. Para llegar a esas observaciones, sobre los elementos visuales de la nación, estos se historiaron de manera holística. El trabajo de campo se abordó, en archivos, a través de la búsqueda sistemática de materiales visuales producidos en el siglo XIX, para luego cruzarlos, con un aparato crítico coherente a la creación de la nación durante esa centuria.

Authors: Asiri Mohammed , Hassan Al-Faisal , Jarad Fayez
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to explore the impact of perceived operational risks (supply chain disruptions, food safety, and IT - technological risks) on customer satisfaction at Panda Retail Company in Saudi Arabia. Utilizing a descriptive, survey-based approach, data was collected from a random sample of 100 Panda customers through an online questionnaire. The findings revealed that 76% of customers acknowledge the negative impact of essential product shortages on the perceived value of service, with 79% expressing frustration when encountering seasonal product shortages. Regarding food safety risks, 72% of customers emphasized the detrimental effect of non-compliance with hygiene standards on their satisfaction, while 73% indicated that the presence of expired products diminishes the service value. Although 81% of customers expressed overall satisfaction with their shopping experience at Panda, only 62% were satisfied with product prices. Furthermore, 76% of customers recognized the impact of electronic payment system malfunctions on service value, and 65% expressed concern over potential personal data loss due to technical glitches.

Notably, the frequency of front-leg axe kicks among male athletes and the use of straight punches to the head among female athletes have significantly increased, while no significant trends have been observed in the use of other techniques. Therefore, in taekwondo training, prioritizing the use of front-leg axe kicks, sidekicks, straight punches to the head, and hook kicks are recommended to enhance scoring rates, reduce fouls, and provoke opponent fouls.
Conclusion: The use of electronic protection equipment has sparked a remarkable transformation in taekwondo methods, with a strong emphasis on strategic moves including front-leg axe kicks, sidekicks, direct punches to the head, and hook kicks, as demonstrated by film analysis since the 2012 London Olympics. This change emphasizes how crucial it is to use customized training methods to maximize scoring rates, reduce fouls, and purposefully cause mistakes by opponents.
