Abstract. The majority of new particle formation (NPF) events observed in Hada al Sham, western Saudi Arabia during 2013–2015, showed an unusual progression where the diameter of a newly formed particle mode clearly started to decrease after the growth phase. Many previous studies refer to this phenomenon as aerosol shrinkage. We will opt to use the term decreasing mode diameter (DMD) event, as shrinkage bears the connotation of reduction in the sizes of individual particles, which does not have to be the case. While several previous studies speculate that ambient DMD events are caused by evaporation of semivolatile species, no concrete evidence has been provided, partly due to the rarity of the DMD events. The frequent occurrence and large number of DMD events in our observations allow us to perform statistically significant comparisons between the DMD and the typical NPF events that undergo continuous growth. In our analysis, we find no clear connection between DMD events and factors that might trigger particle evaporation at the measurement site. Instead, examination of air mass source areas and the horizontal distribution of anthropogenic emissions in the study region leads us to believe that the observed DMD events could be caused by advection of smaller, less-grown, particles to the measurement site after the more-grown ones. Using a Lagrangian single-particle growth model, we confirm that the observed particle size development, including the DMD events, can be reproduced by non-volatile condensation, and thus without evaporation. In fact, when considering increasing contributions from a semivolatile compound, we find deteriorating agreement between the measurements and the model. Based on these results, it seems unlikely that evaporation of semivolatile compounds would play a significant role in the DMD events at our measurement site. In the proposed non-volatile explanation, the DMD events are a result of the observed particles having spent an increasing fraction of their lifetime in a lower growth environment, mainly enabled by the lower precursor vapor concentrations further away from the measurement site combined with decreasing photochemical production of condensable vapors in the afternoon. The correct identification of the cause of the DMD events is important as the fate and the climate-relevance of the newly formed particles heavily depends on it — if the particles evaporated, their net contribution towards larger and climatically active particle sizes would be greatly reduced. Our findings highlight the importance of considering transport-related effects in NPF event analysis, which is an often overlooked factor in such studies.

In this research, we assessed how young adults determine the accuracy of news articles and sources through a seven-day diary study. We performed a qualitative analysis on the participants’ responses and found that the participants mainly used nine different strategies to evaluate the accuracy of COVID news. The majority of respondents relied on their inherent trust and the reputation of a given news outlet instead of actively determining if the information was accurate. Young adults also used their perception of the quality of the article, personal logical reasoning, cross referencing the information, availability of data, among others. We discuss the implications of the results and propose practical suggestions.

Kindlich experimentelles Komponieren wider die Schablonen
Authors: Sühring Peter
Published: March 2023

The compositional experiments and exercises written by eight-year-old Mozart in London in 1764 show original musical ideas which he went on to pursue later, making him an anti-classic par excellence. His London sketchbook was created in a sphere of intense encounters with old and new models of vocal and instrumental music and had a long-lasting effect. The special circumstances surrounding its creation – Leopold Mozart was ill and could not assist Wolfgang in editing the music – make the notebook appear as a collection of raw versions of piano pieces, which, however, go beyond compositions intended for a keyboard instrument. Previous editions of the London sketchbook, especially those produced by Wolfgang Plath for the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe, did not reproduce the 43 piano pieces authentically, but rather marred them with emendations. Two examples, an alleged “Siciliano” and an alleged “Prelude”, are used to hold Mozart’s musical texts against these untenable assessments

Authors: Safitri Diah Ari , Ghozali Ahmad , Kurnianda Johan
Published: March 2023

Background: Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) have prognostic value on HER2 positive breast cancer (BC). The absence of standardized method for evaluating TILs causes variations in results of previous studies. This study is performed to evaluate the prognostic value of TILs in HER2 positive BC treated with trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy using standardized method recommended by the International TILs Working Group.

Aim: To analyze the prognostic value of TILs in HER2 positive BC patients receiving trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta and to analyze proportion differences between high TILs (≥30%) and low TILs (<30%).

Methods: This is a retropective cohort study on HER2 positive, stage 1-3 BC patients who received trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy. Histopathology slides from 6 hospitals/laboratoriums were analyzed by two pathologists.

Results: 73 data were available for analysis. TILs stroma <30% was 65,8% and most patients received combination of anthracyclines, taxanes and trastuzumab (67,1%). There was no difference of overall survival between high and low TILs (p log rank: 0,331).

Conclusion: HER2 positive BC with high TILs did not show better overall survival compared to those with low TILs. The proportion of HER2 positive breast cancer with high TILs was lower than those with low TILs.

One of the most successful strategies to halt the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is to quickly screen by testing to identify infected individuals, leading to effectively isolating patients. However, in order to ensure the test's value, the diagnostic value must be thoroughly analyzed before using it. In this research, we used a cross-sectional descriptive study to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the Lumipulse G SARS-COV-2 Ag test on salivary and nasopharyngeal swab specimens. The results showed that at the manufacturer's recommended cut-off of 0.67 pg/mL, the sensitivity and specificity were 70.00% and 68.87% on saliva samples, respectively. The test's sensitivity and specificity for nasopharyngeal swab samples were 100% and 95.9%, respectively, at the 1.34 pg/mL cut-off, and it could achieve high sensitivity of 99.4% and specificity of 99.3% at the cut-off value of 17.66 pg/mL. With nasopharyngeal swab samples, we found that the Lumipulse G SARS-COV-2 Ag test achieved the WHO testing standards for the diagnosis and screening of COVID-19. The sensitive diagnostic of this test in nasopharyngeal swab samples is high even the viral load is low and higher than in saliva swab samples.

Published: March 2023

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common primary liver malignancy in Vietnam with a high mortality rate. Right anterior sectionectomy with selective control approach is preferred to the right or the central hepatectomies for HCC, in cirrhotic livers in order to preserve functional liver parenchyma. We carried out a retrospective analysis to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the right anterior sectionectomy at the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted at Vietnam National Cancer Hospital from March 2017 to March 2020. The right anterior sectionectomy study group consisted of 47 patients. The mean patient age was 56.7 years. Of the 47 patients with HCC enrolled in the study, 91.5% were male. Cirrhosis (70.2%) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) (74.5%) were the predominant chronic liver diseases. Most of the patients had normal preoperative liver function (Child-Pugh A, 97.9%, and MELD scores < 9, 89.4%). The median blood loss was 200 ± 120 mL. There were no intraoperative or postoperative transfusions given. The mean operation time was 182.23 ± 54.07 minutes (min - max: 80 – 340 minutes)(min; max). The median postoperative hospital stay was 7.52 ± 2.25 days (min – max: 5 – 21 days) (min; max). Posthepatectomy liver failure occurred in one case, and there was no perioperative mortality. After a median follow-up time of 33 months, the mean disease-free survival was 37.9 ± 1.9 months. 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates were 94.7%, 92.1% and 85.0%, respectively.

To evaluate the immunostimulatory activity of Efcovida powder, we induced immunosuppression in Swiss mice by cyclophosphamide (CP). Efcovida powder at two doses of 60 mg/kg b.w and 120 mg/kg b.w were administered orally for seven consecutive days to animals. CP (200 mg/kg i.p.) was injected on the 4th day. The result showed that Efcovida powder at the dose of 60 mg/kg b.w only posed an immunostimulating potency in the cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression model while Efcovida powder at the dose of 120 mg/kg b.w significantly ameliorated the effects of CP on delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response, leukocyte quantity, relative thymus weight, serum IL-4, IL-6 concentration, and micro-histological images of spleen and thymus. This suggested the potential of Efcovida powder to treat immunosuppression diseases in clinical practice.

This study aims to assess the acute and sub-chronic oral toxicity of “Tri 02” powder in experimental animals. According to World Health Organization Guidance, acute toxicity study was conducted using Swiss mice. LD50 was determined by Litchfield-Wilcoxon method, and sub-chronic toxicity of “Tri 02” at two doses (2.4 g/kg b.w/day and 7.2 g/kg b.w/day) was assessed in Wistar rats for four uninterrupted weeks. Abnormal behavior, toxic symptoms, and death were observed for 7 consecutive days to assess the effects of acute toxicity. The general behavior of the rats was observed daily, and their body weight was recorded weekly. Hematological analysis and biochemical analysis were conducted before treatment, and at 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. Macroscopic examination and histopathological examination of several organs were conducted at the end of the treatment period. The results suggested that “Tri 02” at the highest dose used for mice (187.5 g/kg b.w) did not show acute toxicity and the LD50 was determined. In terms of the sub-chonic toxicity test, after oral administration of “Tri 02” powder, hematological parameters, hepato-renal functions and microscopic images of liver and kidney at both doses were similar to the control group. In conclusion, “Tri 02” powder did not produce the acute and subchronic oral toxicity in experimental animals.

This study evaluated the anti-hemorrhoidal effect of “TRI 01” hard capsule on croton oil-induced hemorrhoids model in rats. Hemorrhoids were induced by applying 6% croton oil preparation in the ano-rectal region. Then, rats were randomly assigned to groups. For the two “TRI 01” groups, “TRI 01” was orally administered at doses of 2.64 and 7.92 g/kg per day for seven days, respectively. Daflon (360 mg/kg per day) was used as reference anti-hemorrhoidal drug. Weighting of ano-rectal tissue, calculation of ano-rectal coefficient, and histology of ano-rectal tissue were conducted two hours after the last administration on the seventh day. The results indicated that treatment using “TRI 01” hard capsule significantly decreased the weight of ano-rectal tissue and the rectoanal coefficient compared to the vehicle-treated hemorrhoid group. Histological observation revealed that TRI 01-treated animals had lesser degree of inflammatory cells, degenerative changes congestion, edema along with lesser degree of necrosis in the mucosal epithelium of ano-rectal tissue as compared to croton-induced hemorrhoid group. Our study demonstrated that “TRI 01” at doses of 2.64 and 7.92 g/kg had anti-hemorrhoidal activity on croton oil-induced hemorrhoids model in rats.

Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is an inherited ocular abnormality that is caused by mutation in CYP1B1 gene. Report of large deletion or gene copy number variants of CYP1B1 in PCG is uncommon. In this case report we describe a rare case of PCG with whole CYP1B1 deletion with implication for changes in detecting mutation of CYP1B1 gene. Clinical, ophthalmological, genetic, and pedigree information of the proband is described and discussed in detail in this case report. The deletion was identified using the Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) method. Whole deletion of CYP1B1 was identified using MLPA. Intra ocular pressure (IOP) of the right eye was 38mmHg and that of the left eye was 35mmHg. Corneal diameters of both eyes were 13mm horizontal and 12mm vertical. The patient underwent a total of five operations with the first operation performed when he was 2.5 months old. Further investigation revealed that the patient’s grandfather was exposed to a large quantity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. CYP1B1 deletion albeit rare can cause Primary Congenital Glaucoma with poor prognosis and MLPA should be used to detect large deletion and gene copy number variation when sequencing method fails to detect mutations.

Authors: Sarkar Sovanjan
Published: March 2023

Background: Childhood obesity is considered as a major concern since a couple of decades. The increasing prevalence of childhood obesity is clear and concerns about the future health impact of childhood obesity are currently well documented. Low level of physical activity, high quantity of fat rich junk food consumption and prolonged leisure time with television (TV) viewing were reported to be significantly associated with obesity.

Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the association of body fat distribution with television watching among school going Bengali children of Kolkata, India.

Sample and Methods: 200 girls (aged 10-15 years) from a very heterogeneous background were selected from one state school. Data on socio-demographic aspects, TV viewing, computer use, physical activity and dietary pattern were collected by pretested questionnaire after obtaining prior consent from competent persons. Anthropometric measurements were taken following standard techniques.

Results: Most of the participants preferred fat rich junk food and a few practice regular exercises. One-way ANOVA showed significant differences of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) between groups depending on the duration of TV viewing. The adiposity related variables were standardized by standard deviation score before the inferential analyses. Adjusted multiple linear regression showed positive effects of the duration of TV viewing on BMI (R2=0.233) and MUAC (R2=0.277).

Conclusion: Irrespective of economic status, prolonged television watching leads to an adverse body fat distribution among teenage girls of Kolkata.
Evolution of growth charts in India

Published: March 2023

Growth charts are graphical representations of centile or standard deviation curves prepared from population-based studies. Growth charts are derived from large numbers of children either cross-sectionally or longitudinally. The variation in anthropometric measures amongst individuals of different ethnicities requires specific charts also for Indian children and need to be updated to reflect secular trends. Growth charts in India have come a long way from the development of first ones in the mid-1940s by National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) to Paediatrician Friendly IAP growth charts with mid-parental height and BMI tool. Indian BMI charts recommend overweight and obesity cut-offs for children to the adult equivalents of 23 and 27kg/m2 to prevent the under-diagnosis of obesity. Indian growth charts have been published for upper:lower segment ratios, Turner syndrome, waist circumference, height velocity and sitting height.

The survey included 70 school counsellors from Pedaling Utama District. The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Counselling Self-Efficacy Scales were employed in this study as test instruments (CSES). The test tools used in this study were The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Counselling self-efficacy scales (CSES). All these test tools have been certified for their reliability in the past. The results of this study show that all the variables of Counselling Self -Efficacy, Cognitive Flexibility and Job Satisfaction of School Counsellors respondents are at a high level. While for Trait Anxiety respondents are at a low level. All hypotheses have been well answered. The relationship correlation results among school counsellor self -efficacy and job satisfaction were (r = .386) while the value (p <0.05). The correlation result between school counsellor anxiety traits and job satisfaction was (r = -.257) while the value (p <0.05). correlation results among school counsellors cognitive flexibility and job satisfaction were (r = .414 while p value <0.05). While to see the factors that most influence job satisfaction, the findings show that only Cognitive-flexibility was the only major indicator of job satisfaction (β = .363, p <.001). The findings are analyzed and evaluated in light of the pertinent literature.

Against Focusing on the Internal Conditions of Nietzschean Greatness
Authors: Mollison James A.
Published: March 2023

After reconstructing three arguments for Nietzsche’s descriptive analysis of the self as complex, this article clarifies some of greatness’s psychological conditions. It then offers three arguments for why we should not focus on these internal conditions when seeking to verify or to achieve greatness. First, Nietzsche’s descriptive analysis of the self renders introspection too coarse-grained and error-prone to verify the subtle type of unity required for greatness. Second, Nietzsche associates introspective appraisal of one’s psyche with a moral project that weakens and represses the drives, such that inquiry into whether greatness’s internal conditions are satisfied typically speaks against their realization. Finally, the actions characteristic of Nietzsche’s great individuals prohibit introspective preoccupation with oneself. These arguments suggest that we should attend to outwardly directed accomplishments, rather than psychology, when appraising the greatness of others and seeking to become great ourselves.
Leyla McCalla’s Tributes to Langston Hughes
Authors: Vrana Laura
Published: March 2023

Classically trained Black musician Leyla McCalla’s album Vari-Colored Songs: A Tribute to Langston Hughes (2014) intertwines innovative folk- and blues-inspired settings of Hughes’s blues poetry, interpretations of traditional Haitian folk songs, and original compositions. This article argues that the album constitutes both a vital homage to Hughes’s impact on Black diasporic culture and a feminist boundary-breaking reshaping of the expectations of the hegemonic, white-washing contemporary music industry. It reads together the album’s ambitious liner notes, accompanying visual elements, and sonic choices of selected tracks to show how McCalla, by innovatively syncretizing typically disparate genres, inherits and extends the radical political and cultural tradition of the blues women whom Hughes’s poetry often depicted. Thus, it draws on frameworks from Hughes criticism and from performance studies scholars such as Daphne Brooks to suggest that Black female artists like McCalla warrant the attention of diasporic cultural critics equally to and alongside aesthetic ancestors like Hughes who inspire them. These women are epistemologically intervening in the construction of literary and cultural history through projects like Vari-Colored Songs, an impressive artifact that wrenchingly brings together traditions to address diasporic problems such as eco-precarity and to celebrate Black women’s resilient persistence through such endemic conditions.

Authors: Chicaiza-Ronquillo Jose Eliecer
Published: March 2023

Today, pre-trial mediation of conflicts as an alternative solution to alleviate the civil procedural burden of Ecuadorian justice, a situation that leads to changes in the civil code, civil procedure code and the organic code of the judicial function. Among the problems that cause the conglomeration of the civil procedural burden in Ecuadorian justice, is the judicialization of all conflicts, the complex norms and procedures and the lack of offer of other alternative means of conflict resolution that is fast, efficient, and effective.

Consumer Behavior in the Face of the Coronavirus Pandemic: An Analysis of Credit and Debit Card Spending at Brazilian States
Authors: Cabello Andrea , Brandão Lorena Silva , Bourscheidt Deise Maria
Published: March 2023

The paper analyzes credit and debit card consumer spending and correlates it with the social isolation measures enacted as a result of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Correlations were estimated between the variation in spending in different economic sectors and the Social Distancing Index (IDS) proposed by IPEA. The results show the importance of the essentiality of goods, the mobility of consumers during the pandemic and quarantine and the way in which social isolation measures affect each consumer sector. Essential sectors without mobility problems had an increase in consumption and oscillatory behavior of consumption spending during the period. Non-essential goods sectors saw a sharp reduction in consumption spending followed by a gradual recovery. Sectors associated with mobility (whether essential or not) had a sharp reduction and did not have a clear recovery in the period. In addition, there is strong evidence that possibly institutional variations between states have relevant effects.

Com o objetivo de quantificar e qualificar a arborização urbana da cidade de Lichinga foi realizado inventário do tipo censo. Foram identificadas as espécies usadas, características dendrométricas, estado fitossanitário e sua relação com as instalações urbanas. Foram inventariados 727 indivíduos, totalizando 15 espécies, distribuídas em 10 famílias, sendo que 93,3% das espécies são de origem exótica e 6,7% nativa. O indivíduo mais frequente foi a Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don, representando 55,4% do total. As árvores mensuradas 45% delas apresentavam crescimento em altura entre 10 a 15m, e 37% altura superior a 15m evidenciando que as árvores são de grande porte, e apresentam diâmetro a altura de peito (DAP) maior que 25cm. Quanto a fitossanidade 88,7% apresentavam um estado regular, dos indivíduos levantados 27,8% apresentam conflitos com os fios de rede elétrica e de comunicação, 3,1% dos indivíduos apresentam raízes superficiais e 6,3% dos indivíduos é que necessitam de poda drástica por interferirem diretamente com a rede elétrica e de comunicação bem como nas placas de sinalização das vias. Pode se concluir que a maioria das árvores usadas na arborização da cidade são espécies exóticas, sugerindo-se que no futuro sejam usadas espécies nativas adequadas de modo a diversificar as espécies.

Authors: Zhu Xiaozhou
Published: March 2023

Poverty has long been an important issue in China's development, and the disparity between rich and poor in many families is obvious, which hinders the development process of China's economy and the stability of social development. Although China has implemented numerous poverty alleviation measures, poverty still plagues the daily lives of many families and hinders social progress, with a particular concentration of poor families in counties. The current policy of precise poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation is driven by county financial reform and innovation, while a variety of measures have been taken to rely on the financial industry to solve the problem of poverty in counties has become the current guiding direction for policy formulation and social development. Inclusive finance refers to a financial service system that will provide services to all segments of society (especially poor households) in a reasonable and diversified manner according to market standards so that all segments of society can benefit from financial information services. Therefore, county government departments should give full play to the poverty reduction role of inclusive finance, increase investment in education, optimize industrial structure, promote economic growth, reasonably allocate fiscal expenditure, optimize financial infrastructure construction in rural areas, alleviate relative poverty and interrupt return to poverty, fully implement rural revitalization, and thus achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Authors: Ni Geer
Published: March 2023

Affected by the sudden epidemic in COVID-19 in 2020, various epidemic prevention and control measures greatly restricted residents' consumption activities, and also promoted the development speed of e-business webcasting. With the continuous upgrading of online shopping consumption, various new online shopping methods emerge in an endless stream, and the live broadcast mode of "broadcast+e-business" also rises rapidly. There are more and more groups who watch online live shopping, and university students have become more active among them. The consumption impact of online live broadcast with goods on university students is easy to make university students form bad consumption behaviors such as desire consumption, fast consumption and ahead of time consumption. With the growth of the live broadcast e-business industry, many problems such as exaggerated publicity and uneven quality of anchors have also emerged. Taking Tiktok live broadcast as an example, this paper analyzes the influence mechanism of webcasting on students' consumption behavior, in order to help university students reflect on their own consumption views, and let them establish a correct consumption view by cultivating subjective consciousness, managing bad content and strengthening value guidance.
Research on the Impact of Innovation Failure Tolerance on Technological Innovation
Authors: Wang Leilei
Published: March 2023

The process of technological innovation is characterized by high risk and high uncertainty. It is urgent to contain the risks of technological innovation and encourage the innovation environment of technological trial and error. Based on the existing research on the tolerance of innovation failure, this paper reveals the four influence paths of the tolerance of innovation failure on technological innovation from the perspective of failure tolerance. The research found that the tolerance of failure through the four paths of technological failure tolerance, market failure tolerance, financing failure tolerance, and policy failure tolerance by each innovation subject has realized an innovation environment that encourages tolerance of error and error and thus promotes technological innovation. Based on this, in view of how to improve the failure tolerance of the innovation subject to promote technological innovation, this paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to improve the risk compensation mechanism, establish an innovation consortium, and create an inclusive external environment. It provides a theoretical framework and decision-making reference for building a policy environment and market environment that can tolerate innovation failure and encourage innovation trial and error.
Ephesis against Eubulides (Dem. 57): Legal Arguments against the Sykophant’s Game
Authors: Poddighe Elisabetta , Loddo Laura
Published: March 2023

This paper analyses Euxitheus’ legal arguments in the trial against Eubulides (Dem. 57) and proposes a new analysis of the ephesis procedure. Within this framework it argues that Euxitheus’ forensic strategy is not only relevant to the question at issue – to prove his status as a legitimate citizen (gnesios polites), as someone born from two citizen parents – but is also characterised by a strict adherence to the laws and procedure involving his case. The relation between rhetoric and law emerging in Euxitheus’ speech reveals a rhetorical strategy grounded on legal evidence and documents. This essay will especially focus on two important arguments in the speech, that is, the use of religious arguments and the theme of the plot against Euxitheus, which prove extremely enlightening in showing the how the relevant procedure shaped Euxitheus’ arguments. To this aim section II compares Dem. 57and other probable cases of ephesis in order to reassess how the ephesis procedure worked when it arose from a diapsephisis. Section III shows that the arguments used by Euxitheus are to be considered relevant to winning an ephesis case in court.The entire speech is effectively constructed to demonstrate ‘what is true’ against Eubulides’ ‘false accusations’ and ‘defamatory statements’ (57.1), that is, to use legal arguments against ‘the sykophant’s game’: to allege everything but prove nothing’.
