Pan-Immune-Inflammatory Value is Superior to Other Inflammatory Indicators in Predicting Inpatient Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events and Severe Coronary Artery Stenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in STEMI Patients
Authors: Yang Li , Guo Jiongchao , Chen Min , Wang Yuqi , Li Jun , Zhang Jing
Published: August 2024

Background: The inflammatory response to atherosclerosis is a process that leads to coronary artery disease. Pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) has emerged as a new and simple biomarker of inflammation. However, studies on the predictive power of PIV for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or the degree of coronary artery stenosis are scarce. We aimed to explore the predictive ability of PIV for MACE and the degree of coronary artery stenosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during hospitalization. Methods: This study included 542 patients who were diagnosed with STEMI and who underwent PCI between 2016 and 2023 and whose PIV and other inflammatory markers were measured. Using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, risk variables for MACE following PCI and severe coronary stenosis during hospitalization were assessed to create receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and determine the best thresholds for inflammatory markers. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation of PIV and other inflammatory markers with the Gensini score (GS). Results: Compared with the systemic inflammatory index (SII), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the PIV may have greater predictive value in terms of the occurrence of MACE and the degree of coronary stenosis after PCI in hospitalized STEMI patients. The correlation between the PIV and GS was strong. Conclusions: PIV was superior to the SII, PLR, and NLR in predicting inpatient prognosis and severe coronary stenosis after PCI for STEMI patients.

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality. Though most often isolated, BAV may be associated with other cardiovascular malformations. BAV-related aortopathy is the most common, sharing genetic alterations and phenotypic heterogeneity characteristics. Sometimes silent for a lifetime, BAV may manifest as aortic valve dysfunction, aortic aneurysm, or more emergent situations, such as endocarditis or aortic dissection. Its embryological origin and the characterization of the genes involved, as well as the histopathological and hemodynamic aspects of its natural history, are becoming increasingly clear. In addition, emerging evidence of rhythm disorders associated with BAV has been identified. A new international nomenclature and classification has been introduced to interpret all the advances made in recent years for the comprehension of this condition. In the guidelines, more attention has been paid to the diagnosis of BAV and related aortopathy, together with surveillance, and family screening. Surgical treatment remains the gold standard, especially in young low-risk patients, and valve repair techniques have been shown to be effective and durable. Finally, the new era of transcatheter techniques is also being applied to dysfunctional BAV, allowing the treatment of patients at high surgical risk, with increasingly promising results, and the possibility of expanding indications through the introduction of more advanced devices. This review aims to comprehensively describe the BAV conundrum, focusing on anatomy, pathophysiology, genetics, diagnosis of BAV-related disorders, and the different treatment options available in the transcatheter era.
The Development of Polarization: An Ecological Systems Approach

Published: August 2024

Polarization limits cooperation between groups and prolongs intergroup conflict. In this article, we consider the potential developmental origins of polarization (e.g., preferential endorsement and transmission of ingroup enhancing narratives). We argue that much of the existing literature focuses on individual-level variation. Yet, effectively understanding how and when polarization may emerge additionally requires an examination of broader multi-level influences (e.g., social networks, dominant educational practices, and cultural norms). We provide a conceptual framework of how this may be done, and provide examples of emerging methodologies that can capture influences on the development of polarization across the child’s social ecological system. By examining interactions between individual-level variation, and broader context, researchers may develop more specified interventions and policy recommendations.
Effect AI powered Email Automation: An Analysis of Email Marketing Automation
Authors: Froolik Alderd J.
Published: August 2024

This research study focuses on investigating the effectiveness of AI powered email automation in enhancing customer retention, increasing sales, and improving customer satisfaction. Email automation has emerged as a powerful marketing tool, allowing businesses to automate and personalize their email communication with customers. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of implementing email automation on the real live Shopify webshop PeponiXL.nl which is opening up webshops in different countries (Portugal, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Spain, France and Germany). The boundary for this expansion is the language barrier for each country the webshop is expanding to. Due to the lack of multilingual personnel, the rising costs, and the declining margins the study will focus on possibilities of a Large Language Model (ChatGPT) to overcome these issues. The hypotheses are that ChatGPT will not only speed up the replies of emails but also provide answers within the guidelines of the webshop and maintaining the branding in each country, developing global awareness and brand at scale without putting additional stress on the workforce.
Thermal perfomance of additively manufactured heat pipes
Authors: Cobo-López Borja , Rodríguez-Rodríguez Javier , Orgaz David , Sobrino Celia
Published: August 2024

This work studies experimentally the performance of an additively manufactured heat pipe with a triangular cross-section and grooved wick that uses acetone as the heat transfer fluid. The temperature time evolution at different axial positions of the heat pipe was measured for different heat transfer rates and fluid filling inventories. The experimental data analysis includes calculating heat losses and estimating the steady-state temperature, which has been shown to be critical for determining the thermal resistance and time constant accurately. We also propose a methodology to estimate the response time of the heat pipe to sudden changes in the thermal power demand. The presented prototype is able to evacuate up to 17 W in horizontal position with a thermal resistance lower than 1 K/W.
Suboptimal but intact integration of Bayesian components during perceptual decision-making in autism
Authors: Fazioli Laurina , Hadad Bat Sheva , Denison Rachel N. , Yashar Amit
Published: August 2024

Background: Alterations in sensory perception, a core phenotype of autism, are attributed to imbalanced integration of sensory information and prior knowledge during perceptual statistical (Bayesian) inference. This hypothesis has gained momentum in recent years, partly because it can be implemented both at the computational level, as in Bayesian perception, and at the level of canonical neural microcircuitry, as in predictive coding. However, empirical investigations have yielded conflicting results with evidence remaining limited. Critically, previous studies did not assess the independent contributions of priors and sensory uncertainty to the inference. Method: We addressed this gap by quantitatively assessing both the independent and interdependent contributions of priors and sensory uncertainty to perceptual decision-making in autistic and non-autistic individuals (N=126) during an orientation categorization task. Results: Contrary to common views, autistic individuals integrated the two Bayesian components into their decision behavior, and did so indistinguishably from non-autistic individuals. Both groups adjusted their decision criteria in a suboptimal manner. Limitations: This study focuses on explicit priors in a perceptual categorization task and high-functioning adults. Thus, although the findings provide strong evidence against a general and basic alteration in prior integration in autism, they cannot rule out more specific cases of reduced prior effect – such as due to implicit prior learning, particular level of decision making (e.g., social), and level of functioning of the autistic person. Conclusions: These results reveal intact inference for autistic individuals during perceptual decision-making, challenging the notion that Bayesian computations are fundamentally altered in autism.
Effects of reward anticipation on memory encoding and cognitive control outcomes: A meta-analysis
Authors: Bowen Holly J , Thurmann Kyle , Moon Diane H , Ng Audrey D , Lucyshyn Megan , Chiew Kimberly Sarah
Published: August 2024

Motivated cognition has become a central topic in psychology and neuroscience. This meta-analysis synthesizes the literature to understand the extent to which reward anticipation modulates memory encoding accuracy (45 effect sizes from 33 publications, N = 1545 participants), cognitive control accuracy (34 effect sizes from 27 publications, N = 1154) and cognitive control reaction time (RT; 39 effect sizes from 31 publications, N = 1129). The magnitude of the reward effect varied across the three examined outcomes, with the largest effect on cognitive control reaction times (Cohen’s d = 0.821), followed by memory accuracy (Cohen’s d = 0.618), and the smallest effect on cognitive control accuracy (Cohen’s d = 0.435). Several moderators related to differences in reward manipulation, as well as design elements of the memory and cognitive control tasks, were tested. Several moderators influenced reward effects on memory accuracy (e.g., type of reward incentive, a false alarm penalty at recognition, intentional encoding paradigms, type of memoranda, and type of memory retrieval task). The amount of the reward incentive and type of control task employed moderated reward effects on cognitive control accuracy, whereas type and amount of the reward incentive moderated the effects of cognitive control RT. Overall, reward effects on cognitive performance might be highly sensitive to contextual parameters and study-level variability in experimental designs may account for significant variability in observed results, particularly memory encoding. Accounting for such heterogeneity both within and across cognitive domains will be important for a comprehensive understanding of reward anticipation effects on cognitive performance and advancing the field of motivated cognition forward.

Published: August 2024

Critical Thinking Dispositions (CTD) are increasingly recognised as important in the application of thinking skills across academic, professional, and diverse real-world settings. However, there are limited open access measures of CTD, and questions remain as to the reliability and validity of existing CTD measures. The Student-Educator Negotiated Critical Thinking Dispositions Scale (SENCTDS) is a freely available scale comprised of 21 items measuring six dispositions: intrinsic goal orientation, attentiveness, organisation, perseverance, open-mindedness, and reflective scepticism. It has a simple scoring procedure and is a potentially useful scale for educators and researchers. This Methods Note paper reflects on the development of the SENCTDS and highlights the importance of methodological rigour in scale development and evaluation. In this context, as part of ongoing scale evaluation, we assess the factor structure and measurement properties of the SENCTDS across nations, and in the process outline key steps in scale development and iterative evaluation. While our results indicate that the SENCTDS provides a potentially useful measure of CTD that can be readily translated and used across nations, we conclude by highlighting the ongoing need for methodological rigour in efforts to advance research in the area of critical thinking.
“Goals, Goals, Goals”: Analyzing Teacher Goals on Three Conceptual Levels to Explain Motivational Effects on Instructional Practice
Authors: Daumiller Martin , Gaspard Hanna , Dickhäuser Oliver , Dresel Markus
Published: August 2024

Background: Achievement goals and self-efficacy are key components of teacher motivation and crucial for teaching quality and student outcomes, yet the processes explaining why they lead to specific teaching behaviors remain unclear. This study disentangles teacher goals on three levels (personal goals, student-oriented goals, intended classroom goal structures) to under-stand these processes better.Aims: We aim to uncover the associations of teachers’ personal goals and self-efficacy beliefs with specific teaching behaviors, mediated by student-oriented goals and intended classroom goal structures. Sample: 70 secondary school teachers from German general-education secondary schools, teaching Mathematics in grades 7-9 in lower track secondary education (42 women, 28 men; mean age 43.7 years, SD = 10.6) filled out a total of 345 lesson diaries over five weeks.Methods: After reporting personal goals, self-efficacy and student-oriented goals, teachers filled out standardized lesson diaries on intended classroom goal structures and specific teaching behaviors encompassing both mastery-based (interestingness, cognitive stimulation, individualization, autonomy support, structuring, collaboration, heterogeneous grouping) as well as performance-based aspects (public negative feedback, homogeneous grouping, competition). Results: Two-level path modeling indicated that personal performance goals are positively related to student-oriented performance goals, with student-oriented mastery goals being predict-ed by teachers’ self-efficacy. Intended mastery goal structures in the classroom were predicted by both student-oriented mastery goals and teachers’ personal goals and efficacy. Different linkages were observed for different teaching behaviors.Conclusions: The findings highlight the relevance of considering both student-oriented goals and intended goal structures in better understanding the relationship between teacher motivation and instructional practices.
The Rise of Digital Monopolies: A Historical-Institutionalist Perspective
Authors: Beyer Jürgen
Published: August 2024

The Internet economy is characterized by the pervasive dominance of digital monopolies such as Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta, which have significant market power. Common explanations for the rise of these monopolies include external network effects, economies of scale, technological barriers to entry, user lock-in, and inadequate antitrust regulation. While these explanations may accurately describe the current situation, they are insufficient to fully explain the emergence of digital monopolies. This article presents an alternative historical-institutional perspective, arguing that the specific history of the Internet and the initial reluctance of Internet users to pay for services fundamentally shaped market conditions and made network externalities a central factor. From a historical-institutional perspective, it becomes clear that the specific course of change - including the multi-sidedness of digital platforms and the increasing decoupling of use and exchange values - is largely due to these initial market exchange conditions.

The lack of exclusive breastfeeding is generally due to insufficient milk production, leading to the cessation of exclusive breastfeeding practices. The main factor in the failure of exclusive breastfeeding is lactation mismanagement during the breastfeeding period. Adequate knowledge can increase working mothers' self-efficacy and help working mothers continue to breastfeed during the transition back to the workforce. This study aimed to see the relationship between knowledge about lactation management in working mothers with exclusive breastfeeding in the Working Area of Sidomulyo Health Center, Bengkulu City. The sample size was 58 respondents, who were given questionnaires using the Gutman scale. The results of statistical tests using chi-square with a p-value of 0.019 < < 0.05 and an Odds Ratio of 3,800 show there is a significant relationship between knowledge of lactation management in working mothers with exclusive breastfeeding. Working mothers are expected to increase their knowledge by attending breastfeeding classes or utilizing social media about lactation management to provide breast milk still while working.

Published: August 2024

Українська література як мистецтво слова й навчальна дисципліна має значний потенціал, необхідний для внутрішнього розвитку учнів середньої загальноосвітньої школи. Ідеться про формування різних типів мислення, зокрема просторового, яким володіє кожна людина й використовує в повсяк денному житті, професійній діяльності. Художня картина світу, яку опанову ють школярі, наділена низкою просторових характеристик (часових і топографічних), які можуть стати основою (планом, схемою, напрямками опрацювання) в процесі аналізу літературного твору. У статті вибудувано навчальні алгоритми, які, з одного боку, сприяють осмисленню художнього матеріалу, а з іншого – активізують ті інтелектуальні процеси, які забезпе чують розвиток просторових уявлень учнів на основі відповідних картин, створених митцями. За основу взято хронотопний аналіз як базовий вид діяльності, поєднаний з іншими шляхами опрацювання літературних джерел залежно від завдань, поставлених учителем та учнями авторами шкільних програм. У контексті його застосування запропоновано комплекс видів розумової діяльності, як-от: установлення просторових рамок зображеного, визначення елементів часопростору, їх опис, усвідомлення семантичного маркування, художньої ролі в системі образної структури тексту, концеп туального спрямування написаного, жанро- та стилеутворення. Автор статті вважає, що для значної кількості літературних творів продуктив ними є дослідження, оперті на просторові лінії, прокладені письменниками з метою формування художньої картини світу. Вектори творчого мислення митців слова, на його думку, існують або в межах завершеного одиничного часопростору (більшість літературних творів, у яких зображено окремий історичний чи біографічний період), або між різними просторовими утворен нями, які необхідні, щоб установити статичні або динамічні зв’язки між змальованими історичними епохами й у такий спосіб виявити закономірності розвитку українського народу чи й усього людства. Усе це можна просте жити на матеріалі багатьох епічних та драматичних текстів, уключених до шкільної програми.

Published: August 2024

The rise of Hindutva ideology is likely to alter secular India into a parochial Hindu nation by inducing a wave of militant nationalism across the state, which can potentially imperil the peace of South Asia. The aim of the study is to evaluate India's hegemonic stance, analyzing medieval and contemporary factors behind the surge of Hindu nationalism. It seeks to comprehend the core principles of Hindutva ideology through in-depth historical scrutiny, aiming to demonstrate its origins rooted in religious intolerance. Elaborating on the institutionalization of Hindutva ideology by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, this paper comprehensively explains the erosion of democratic and secular institutions, the upsurge in communal violence, constraints on dissent, and the enactment of discriminatory legislation, ultimately characterizing India as an electoral autocracy (Biswas, 2021). Employing the theoretical framework of instrumentalism, the paper highlights the ramifications of extreme right-wing politics on the Indian polity.

Published: August 2024

In learning English, students tend to encounter issues with limited vocabulary and grammar, accuracy of pronunciation, fear of making mistakes while speaking, and other problems. These occurrences are influenced by several factors, one of which is the teacher's strategies. By employing suitable strategies aligned with students' needs and desires, the attainment of learning objectives can be facilitated. Based on this statement, the researcher analysed the strategies used by English teachers in teaching speaking skills and the students' responses to these strategies in the tenth-grade classes at SMA Negeri 2 Parepare. The objectives of this study are to investigate the strategies employed by English teachers in teaching speaking skills, and to determine the students' responses to the strategies utilized by the teacher in teaching speaking skills. The research design employed in this study is qualitative descriptive research. The subjects of this study consist of tenth-grade English teachers and students of class X Mipa 1 in SMA Negeri 2 Parepare. The researcher selected only one tenth-grade English teacher and 15 students from class X Mipa 1 as participants. Data for this research was collected through questionnaires administered to the students and supported by interviews conducted with the teacher to ensure balanced results. The collected data was analysed using Miles and Huberman's theory, which includes data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. Furthermore, to establish the validity of the data, this study employed methodological triangulation.The results of this study indicate that English teachers implement various plans, methods, approaches, and a variety of designed activities to achieve learning objectives. English teachers employ diverse methods in teaching speaking, such as discussions, role plays, storytelling, and story completion. These strategies can assist students in becoming more active and enthusiastic about learning to speak English. The instructional strategies employed include the use of group work strategies, employing language that is easily comprehensible to students, providing multiple interactions or training in discussion skills, and encouraging students to communicate in the target language. These strategies can help keep students motivated and confident. Furthermore, students' responses to the implemented strategies in learning to speak indicate that they are more engaged in classroom discussions and enjoy learning English due to teachers consistently aiding them in comprehending the lessons.

The creativity of a teacher in the classroom is very important because it describes the personality of a good teacher, it can also be liked by many people and even by the students being taught. In teaching English, English vocabulary is very important to master in improving fluency in speaking English, increasing understanding and also helping to improve student achievement. The purpose of this study is to determine the creativity of teachers in teaching students' vocabulary, and to determine the effect of teacher creativity on students' vocabulary mastery. Researchers used qualitative research with the case study method. The sample of this research was 1 English teacher and 8 students  at 7th grade students. The research instruments in this research were observation, interviews and documentation. This study uses data analysis techniques from Miles and Huberman, namely data collection, data reduction, data display, and data verification. The results of the analysis of the data in this study showed good results between the creativity carried out by the teacher in teaching in class. This is evidenced by the creativity that the teacher always does when learning takes place, the teacher sometimes gives games while learning, gives vocabulary to students to memorize, students are encouraged to use English in class at every meeting, the teacher also always motivates students to always learn English. The increase in English vocabulary is evidenced by how often students use English in class and use English when students meet the teacher.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterised by progressive demyelination leading to the death of neurons in the central nervous system. The disease usually manifests in people aged 20–40 years, but in recent years there has been an increase in the number of cases with childhood MS debut. We assume that this may be related to the peculiarities of the taxonomic composition of the intestinal microbiota and its ability to produce B vitamins. Purpose: To identify changes in the composition of the gut microbiome in the debut of multiple sclerosis in children and adults and to assess the potential of the gut microbiome to metabolise and synthesise B vitamins. Fifteen children (9–17 years), 15 adults with MS manifested in childhood and 14 adults over 37 years of age with MS duration less than 1 year participated in the study. The composition of the intestinal microbiome was determined by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene on the Illumina platform with universal primers for the 16S rRNA V3-V4 variable region. The PICRUST algorithm using the KEGG reference genome database was used to predict the presence of B vitamin metabolic pathways in the intestinal microbiome. Children in MS debut were found to have specific microbiome changes different from those in adults. These changes include a decrease in alpha diversity as well as a reduction in dominant phylum and an increase in p_Verrucomicrobiota and p_Mycoplasmatota, which was accompanied by a decrease in the number of bacterial genes involved in the pathways of metabolism and synthesis of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B12. Such changes may be associated with early manifestation of MS symptoms in children. The findings highlight the importance of further study of the influence of the intestinal microbiome and its metabolic potential on the development and progression of MS, especially in childhood, and may contribute to the development of modern more effective methods of treatment and prevention of this demyelinating disease.
On calculating partial sums of multiple numerical series by methods of Computer Algebra

Published: August 2024

A method to calculate partial sums of some multiple numerical series arising when searching for the resultant of a polynomial and an entire function is proposed. One can apply a symbolic algorithm that uses recurrent Newton formulas to find power sums of roots included in this formula without finding the very roots of the system. The algorithm that implements the proposed approach to calculate partial sums of multiple numerical series is implemented in Maple. Examples of using this algorithm to find partial sums of some classes of multiple numerical series are given.
Primitive elements of free non-associative algebras over finite fields

The representation of elements of free non-associative algebras as a set of multidimensional tables of coefficients is defined. An operation for finding partial derivatives for elements of free non-associative algebras in the same form is considered. Using this representation, a criterion of primitivity for elements of lengths 2 and 3 in terms of matrix ranks, as well as a primitivity test for elements of arbitrary length, is derived. This test makes it possible to estimate the number of primitive elements in free non-associative algebras with two generators over a finite field. The proposed representation allows us to optimize algorithms for symbolic computations with primitive elements. Using these algorithms, we find the number of primitive elements of length 4 in a free non-associative algebra of rank 2 over a finite field.
Exoskeleton Dynamics Simulation with the System of Three Variable-Length Links of Adjustable Stiffness

Published: August 2024

The article proposes a spatial model of an exoskeleton for the human musculoskeletal system, represented by three movable links of variable length and two-point masses. The stiffness of the links is controlled by changing the voltage supplied to the magnetic rheological fluid, which fills sections of variable length. The model can be used to develop comfortable exoskeletons, the kinematic characteristics of which are close to the kinematic characteristics of the human musculoskeletal system. The model dynamics equations are constructed using local coordinate systems.
The required laws of change of generalized coordinates are specified by the equations of program connections that determine the dependence of differentiable periodic functions on time. Control moments and longitudinal forces are determined by methods of solving inverse dynamics problems and are realized by changing the magnetic field strengths, which affect the change in the stiffness of the magnetic-rheological fluid. The magnetic field strengths that control the stiffness of the link are implemented by step functions. An animation of the movement of the mechanism has been synthesized, showing the adequacy of the proposed modeling procedure. The connections of the links are modeled by joints and motors that implement the necessary rotational motion. The dynamics of the model is controlled by changing the lengths of the links and the angles between the links.

Pola asuh demokratis memegang peranan penting dalam career goal setting mahasiswa rantau. Mahasiswa rantau yang diasuh dengan pola asuh demokratis dapat lebih berani dalam mengambil keputusan dan dapat mengembangkan prestasi akademiknya dengan maksimal. Teknik sampling yang digunakan peneliti adalah teknik purposive sampling dengan kriteria mahasiswa/i yang merantau ke Soloraya serta berasal dari kota / kabupaten diluar daerah Soloraya dan DIY.  Peneliti melakukan kontruksi alat ukur dalam menyusun skala pola asuh demokratis (24 aitem valid dengan α = 0,941) dan skala career goal setting (19 aitem valid dengan α = 0,807). Subjek dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 114 subek penelitian. Peneliti meggunakan uji asumsi klasik yaitu uji normalitas dan uji linearitas kemudian dilanjutkan dengan analysis product moment untuk menguji korelasi kedua variabel. Hipotesis dalam penelitian ini dapat diterima dengan tingkat korelasi lemah yakni sebesar 0,388. Dalam penelitian ini kedua variabel berkorelasi secara positif, artinya semakin tinggi pola asuh demokratis yang diterapkan maka semakin tinggi penetapan tujuan karir mahasiswa rantau.
