Remember at the start of the year, Matt and I had a contest to design a cover for a random book in half an hour? I came up with this: Well, today I saw that my wife is reading Abraham Vergese’s novel  Cutting for Stone  (which, for what it’s worth, she says is very good). Here’s the cover: You can’t tell me  that  ‘s a coincidence.

A few years ago, in my programming day-job, we had a customer who we were providing with software components and a bit of custom development. While this was going on, we had a sequence of meetings with them in which we pitched several possible system designs, explaining how we could help them use our components in various ways. After this had been going on for a while, our contact at the customer had to take us to one side.

Europe’s Sick Success Child
Authors: Jaraczewski Jakub
Published: October 2023

Poland's rule of law crisis, spurred by the ruling coalition under Jarosław Kaczyński, has caused severe damage to its legal system and democratic foundations. The European Union has responded with infringement proceedings and withholding of funds, leading to some concessions from the Polish government. Yet, Poland's legal community and civil society have shown resilience, challenging these attacks in courts, advocating for democratic values, and maintaining a robust private media. As parliamentary elections loom, the question arises: can this resilience lead to a restoration of the rule of law?
Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide for the Prevention of Graft-vs.-Host Disease in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Guide to Management for the Advanced Practitioner

Cyclophosphamide remains a critical component to haploidentical transplant conditioning regimens. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) emerged as an effective component of graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in the nonmyeloablative haploidentical bone marrow transplant setting. The relative ease of administration compared with ex vivo manipulations and efficacy in reducing GVHD has led to increasing PTCy use in transplant centers around the world. The role of PTCy has expanded to haploidentical transplantation with myeloablative conditioning regimens and peripheral blood progenitor cells as the donor source. Moreover, encouraging results in GVHD management have been shown with the use of PTCy alone or in combination with other immunosuppressives in the human leukocyte antigen–matched donor setting. The toxicity profile of cyclophosphamide varies extensively depending on dose, duration, overall drug exposure, and, potentially, pharmacogenetics. This review highlights the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and toxic effects of cyclophosphamide and offers practical guidance for clinical application in the post-transplant setting. We summarize data on the management of high-dose cyclophosphamide toxicities and provide insights into the pharmacogenetic implications on drug efficacy and safety data.
Pancreatic Cancer and the Family Connection: The Role of Advanced Practitioners in Screening and Educating Genetically At-Risk Individuals
Authors: Lowe, PhD, MS, RN Tracy , DeLuca, PhD, MS, RN, CPNP-PC Jane , Abenavoli, MD, PhD, MSc Ludovico , Boccuto, MD Luigi
Published: October 2023

Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. It has a 95% mortality rate within 5 years of the initial diagnosis. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed histotype. The average age at diagnosis is 70 years. Familial forms of pancreatic cancer have been associated with pathogenic variants in predisposing genes, including ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, CDKN2A, STK11, MLH1, and MSH2. Collecting information on the patient’s family history may serve as a primary tool to screen an individual’s risk for familial pancreatic cancer. More advanced screening options for individuals at risk include endoscopic ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Due to pancreatic cancer’s high mortality rate, routine screening of individuals at risk for developing familial pancreatic cancer may result in early diagnosis and improved survivability. This review aims to characterize the genetic risk factors associated with pancreatic cancer and recognize available screening options for at-risk individuals.
Surgical Management of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Authors: Townsend, MPAP, PA-C Heather
Published: October 2023

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are considered rare, but they are one of the most common malignant mesenchymal tumors within the gastrointestinal tract, affecting 4,000 to 6,000 adults in the United States each year. Because gastrointestinal bleeding is often the initial symptom, a thorough and timely diagnostic workup is imperative to accurately diagnose a potentially deadly tumor. Endoscopic ultrasound is helpful when working through a differential diagnosis of subepithelial lesions and can help identify which mucosal layer the lesion originates from, as well as the density of the lesion; however, surgical resection is the standard of care for the treatment of a resectable nonmetastatic GIST. For recurrent GISTs, metastatic disease, or GISTs not amendable to resection, tyrosine kinase inhibitors are frequently used, with imatinib being used in the first-line setting. A multimodal treatment approach is often necessary to increase the chances of a permanent cure.

Authors: Cumming Ivette , Quintanilla Miguel , Celis César , Hidalgo Alejandro
Published: October 2023

La displasia ectodérmica (DE) es un grupo de afecciones derivadas del ectodermo, observándose hipoplasia o aplasia de las estructuras involucradas. Los fenotipos más frecuentes son la DE hipohidrótica e hidrótica. El más prevalente es el hipohidrótico, causado por mutaciones en gen EDA1 en el cromosoma X. Las características clínicas de la DE hipohidrótica incluyen hipohidrosis, hipotricosis, e hipodoncia. La DE hidrótica clínicamente presenta hipotricosis, distrofia ungueal y queratodermia palmoplantar. Intraoralmente, la DE hipohidrótica presenta anomalías dentales de forma y número, con un esmalte más propenso a caries y daños mecánicos. Puede haber inflamación atrófica de la mucosa, xerostomía y en ocasiones disfagia. Entre los signos radiográficos se observan anomalías dentales y atrofia de los procesos alveolares. Hombre de 14 años con DE acude a la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Talca para una evaluación clínica. En radiografía panorámica se observó ausencia de múltiples dientes, y alteración de forma coronaria y radicular en los dientes presentes. La telerradiografía lateral mostró atrofia del proceso alveolar en ambos maxilares, tercio inferior disminuido, retrusión y atrofia mandibular, etrusión maxilar y proinclinación incisiva maxilar.Si bien los estudios imagenológicos bidimensionales colaboran a un diagnóstico adecuado, los exámenes tridimensionales facilitan la planificación y el tratamiento en pacientes con DE. Las malformaciones faciales y dentales severas del presente caso afectan la función masticatoria y estética, ocasionando que el tratamiento sea complejo y requiera de un equipo multidisciplinario.

Introducción: La tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (TCHC) brinda información precisa de la anatomía del paciente, siendo una sus indicaciones más frecuentes la evaluación de dientes retenidos. Los caninos maxilares son los dientes más comúnmente retenidos después de los terceros molares, resultandoindispensable el uso de herramientas que faciliten el diagnóstico, pronóstico y plan de tratamiento. Objetivo: Presentar un protocolo para caracterizar los caninos retenidos utilizando la TCHC. Materiales y Métodos: Se evaluaron 188 exámenes de TCHC pertenecientes a pacientes de ambos sexos con edades entre 12-73 años. Se identificaron características de profundidad, angulación, presentación, estado radicular, grado de inclusión, relación con estructuras adyacentes y patologías asociadas. Resultados: la mayoría de los pacientes (64,4%, n=121) fueron del sexo femenino. Se encontró que 147 caninos (63,1%) estaban impactados con retención profunda. La angulación de la retención estuvo clasificada en su mayoría por caninos mesioangulares, representando el 48,1% de la muestra (n=112); En presentación, predominaron los ubicados hacia palatino/lingual(45,9%, n=107). Sobre el estado radicular,183 caninos (78,5%) presentaron rizogénesis completa. El grado de inclusión que predominó fue el subgingival en 174 caninos (74,7%). Al evaluar las alteraciones que estos dientes retenidos ocasionaron en estructuras adyacentes, se encontró que el 65,2% (n=152) de la muestra no generó ningún daño. Conclusiones: El protocolo presentado permitió valorar sistemáticamente y a través de parámetros específicos, la relación de los caninos retenidos con las unidades dentarias adyacentes y estructuras anatómicas de interés, lo que posibilita la formulación de un diagnóstico y terapéutica más adecuada para el paciente.

Leadership in Agriculture: Artificial Intelligence for Modelling and Forecasting Growth in the Industry
Authors: Hadouga Hassiba
Published: October 2023

The paper investigates the growth rates of agriculture as one of the leading industries, which serves as a catalyst for economic development and is intended to provide the population with food products and industry with raw materials. The main aim of the conducted research is to analyze the impact of agricultural reforms on the agricultural growth rates in Algeria. The systematic analysis of literary sources and methods of addressing the problem of agricultural growth indicates the existence of socio-economic, political, and institutional inhibitors of effective agricultural reclamation of the agricultural sector. Five inputs were used as parameters characterizing the development of the agricultural industry. These are the volume of agricultural financing, the volume of exploited agricultural area, the volume of developed agricultural machinery, the volume of agricultural labor, and the rural level of agricultural growth. Forecasting indicators of the development of the agricultural industry was carried out using the methods of min max scaler tool, ReLU, and RMSE. A machine learning model from the Python language built the artificial neural network model. The statistical data of the Ministry of Finance and Agriculture and the World Bank served as the information base for the study of the relationship between the amount of adopted and implemented agrarian reforms. The link between the number of agrarian reforms adopted and expressed was investigated using data from several areas of statistics, the Ministry of Finance and Agriculture, and the World Bank. The modelling results proved the positive influence of bank financing, the volume of exploited agricultural areas and the number of the population employed in agriculture on the growth rates of agriculture in Algeria in the long term. An increase in agricultural mechanization by one unit (tractors and agricultural equipment per 100 km2) contributes to the growth of indicators of agricultural development by 0.21%, and an increase in the number of people employed in agriculture per million will lead to a rise in the level of agricultural development by 12 %. Thus, the results of econometric modelling proved the positive impact of agricultural reforms on the development of agriculture after 2022. It contributes to the increase in the level of employment of the population and, ultimately, will have a positive effect on the future rate of economic growth in Algeria.
Modelling the Interconnection Between Technological Leadership and the Level of Use of Information and Communication Technologies
Authors: Sour Ouieme , Maliki Samir , Benghalem Abdelhadi
Published: October 2023

This article presents an empirical analysis of the link between technological leadership and the use of information and communication technologies. This paper aims to formalize the factors that determine the country’s potential for technological leadership. The methodological toolkit for analyzing the link between the development of information and communication technologies and the technological leadership of the country is the methods of panel regression analysis: the fixed effects model, the random effects model, the Hausman test for correlated random effects, the combined regression model with dummy variables, the Wald test and the model fixed effects with dummy variables. The information base of the research is World Bank data, data files of national accounts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and Eurostat data. The object of the study is the data of ten countries of the world (Brazil, India, China, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey, France, Germany, Italy and Spain), the period of the study is 2008-2016 years. The indicator of innovative development of the country, which is evaluated by the number of issued patents, was used as a dependent variable. The influence of factor indicators is considered in terms of four components: entrepreneurship (the number of new enterprises founded in the country during the fiscal year), export of high-tech goods (the share of the export of high-tech goods in the total export of goods according to 2007 data), GDP per capita (in US dollars for according to 2010 data), startups (number of registered startups). According to the results of building a model with fixed effects, a positive relationship between the technological leadership of the country and the development of information and communication technologies has been proven. In addition, the results of empirical calculations prove that the share of export of high-tech goods in the total export of countries is insignificant during the analyzed period. The study proves the essential role of information and communication technologies in technological progress and empirically confirms the potential difference in profits between manufacturers and exporters of technological products.
Quantum Entanglement of the Brain, Dynamics of Information, and Intelligent Finance
Authors: Njegovanović Ana
Published: October 2023

Our research forms two directions, the first considers two approaches to the brain, one based on classical mechanics, the second using quantum physics, the second direction of research refers to the dynamics of0 information as an interaction between differential geometry, mathematical statistics, probability theory. and quantum mechanics which led to the construction of classical and quantum information geometry. Financial entanglement is multidimensiona in time and space, dynamic, less understood and interesting because it functions in real life, like the brain. Neuroscientists who focus on mathematical frameworks for how the brain’s shape affects its activity—an area of mathematical neuroscience called neural field theory  will begin to understand the relationship between brain shape, structure, and function in yet another way. Analysis of research into the geometry of the brain’s contours, that is, the way in which brain activity resonates over and through its architecture, is perhaps more significant than the connections between neurons. Research by scientists from the University of Sydney and Monash University showed that the overall shape and geometry of the human brain – its contours and curvature – has a greater influence on brain dynamics than the internal connectivity of brain cells (Our brain shape influences how it works, 2023) in short, Australian scientists indicate the possibility of predicting brain function directly from its shape. “We have long thought that specific thoughts or sensations elicit activity in specific parts of the brain, but this study reveals that structured patterns of activity are excited across nearly the entire brain, just like the way in which a musical note arises from vibrations occurring along the entire length of a violin string, and not just an isolated segment,” (Dr J. Pang,2023).”We found that eigenmodes defined by brain geometry – its contours and curvature – represented the strongest anatomical constraint on brain function, much like the shape of a drum influences the sounds it can make” (A. Fornito, 2023). “Using mathematical models, we confirmed theoretical predictions that the close link between geometry and function is driven by wave-like activity propagating throughout the brain, just as the shape of a pond influences the wave ripples that are formed by a falling pebble” (A. Fornito, 2023).
An analysis of the financial viability of municipalities in Freestate Province: the case of Mangaung Metro Municipality
Authors: Sitishe Nandi , Alson Ntshangase Bhekabantu , Kloper Rembrandt , Lubbe Sam , Kayambazinthu Msosa Steven
Published: October 2023

Local authorities’ independence level largely depends on the adequacy of the revenue part of local self-government budgets. One of the sources of income of local authorities is the payment of the population and business entities for services. Along with this, there is the issue of insufficient accumulation of revenues to the provincial budget due to non-payment of remuneration for services rendered. Municipalities are responsible for providing, regulating and managing essential services such as water supply, domestic wastewater treatment, electricity distribution, sewage systems and health services. This article summarizes the arguments and counter-arguments of the scientific discussion regarding municipalities’ problem in filling the revenue part of the local budget. The study’s primary purpose is to analyse municipalities’ financial capacity in the province of the Free State (Republic of South Africa). The systematization of literary sources and approaches to solving the problem shows that most municipalities in the Republic of South Africa face financial issues. Municipalities have liquidity problems or cannot fulfil their obligations on time. Despite these problems, municipalities must provide services at an acceptable level. The relevance of this scientific problem-solving is that it focuses on analyzing the financial difficulties faced by the Mangaung Metro Municipality. The primary data source for this study was the questionnaire results. The sample consisted of 24 employees and financial statements of municipalities and auditors’ conclusions. The municipality’s financing structure consists on average of 65% from internal revenues, 29.5% from state transfers and 10% from external borrowings. The financial capacity of the municipality is impaired due to an increase in the number of debtors, problems with cash flows, rising costs, unstable revenues to the revenue part of the budget, and an increase in short- and long-term debt. According to the survey results, 63% of respondents reported that the water supply sector is the largest source of debt among consumers, and the debt collection system could be more effective. The results may be helpful in municipalities with similar governance architectures. Thus, the municipality is recommended to develop and implement a strategy for increasing revenues, a cash flow plan, review the tariff policy, and implement an effective system of debt collection and cost reduction measures.
The impact of the digital environment on eco-friendly behavioural change towards nature: Exploring the concept of forest bathing without forest
Authors: Oe Hiroko , Yamaoka Yasuyuki
Published: October 2023

The article quantitatively investigates transformative changes in human behavioral patterns about nature due to using digital forests in relaxation practices. In the era of COVID-19, when physical outings and social interactions have been limited, there has been a growing trend for people to engage in digital interactions with nature. This article aims to quantify the impact of people’s behavior and interaction in the digital space on the change of personal behavioral patterns in the physical natural environment, as well as to analyze the potential effects of digital “bathing in the forest”. Since in work it is advisable to take into account the influence of hidden factors, structural equation modeling was used for the needs of this study. The primary data were the answers of 300 respondents, which were obtained based on the results of a survey of people in the capital region of Japan. A five-point Likert scale was used to evaluate and analyze respondents’ opinions. The internal reliability of the questionnaire scales was tested using Cronbach’s alpha. The work offers an integral indicator for assessing the personal characteristics of individuals, based on which two groups of respondents were formed – extroverts (the index is higher than the median) and introverts (the index is lower than the median). The study analyzed the pathways that lead to changes in human behavior caused by the development of digital natural relaxation methods. The work established a statistically significant relationship between the effect of digital “bathing in the forest” and a change in human behavior (correlation coefficient 0.872). According to the results of structural modeling, it was found that digital “forest bathing” has a significant mediating effect on the promotion of pro-environmental behavior (correlation coefficient is 0.634) and that users who regularly experience nature in cyberspace are more likely to change their behavior concerning nature. It is substantiated that people closer to introversion are more actively involved in the digital space and interact with others, and significantly more often change their behavior towards the environment. This study is a rare contribution demonstrating the potential of enjoying digital “forest bathing” to induce environmentally oriented behavior, even in the physical absence of forests.
Role of GDP in the Sustainable Growth Era

Published: October 2023

While there is a correlation between economic growth and the increase in living standards, economic theory is evident in the purpose of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measurement. GDP measures only the production capacity and economic growth, not the nation’s development, as often claimed by policymakers. Furthermore, as several studies show, by focusing on economic growth and neglecting the other two crucial systems, the ecosystem, and the social system, we will not be able to achieve economic growth in the future. Since the GDP was developed in 1937, it has faced criticism not only for its limitation related to its construction. Also, the concept of economic growth is currently being challenged and being replaced by the pursuit of sustainable development. Therefore, the role of GDP, as an economic growth indicator, in our economy needs to be clarified and re-assessed. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the usefulness of the GDP in the era of sustainable development. To achieve this, we investigated the historical development of various measures of economic growth, as well as the historical development of the GDP as an economic growth metric. Furthermore, we argue that the future of GDP should be in the multi-dimensional indicators, which are used to measure the sustainable development of a country, as opposed to a self-standing single-dimensional measure of economic growth. As a case study, we also construct two measures, based on Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) using the free online software ‘SuperDecisions: our Simple three-dimensional index of the nation’s growth and the enhanced holistic three-dimensional index – Holistic Nation’s Growth Index. Using the AHP method, we showcase the difference between the countries’ rankings if we consider only economic growth and if we focus on the country’s development more holistically. Our comparative study reveals that it is not enough to look only at three main systems, the economic, social, and ecosystem while assessing the countries’ development. It is necessary to also investigate and try to capture the relationships between those three main systems.

Children with disabilities living in orphanages get an ophthalmologic examination quite late, which leads to the further development of vision pathologies and the difficulties of their correction. Even parents of children with special need do not always have information about the necessity of an early ophthalmologic examination or cannot find a suitable specialist. It is recommended to conduct an ophthalmologic examination in the first month of a child's life, which provides sufficient material for predicting the development of the child's vision and possible pathologies. Timely assistance to such children and correction of vision pathologies contributes to the development of their physical activity, intelligence and communication skills

La generatividad en la vejez: Extensión y perfil de las actividades generativas en una muestra representativa de personas mayores españolas
Authors: Villar Feliciano , Celdrán Monserrat , Fabà Josep , Serrat Rodrigo
Published: October 2023

Objetivos: Muchas personas mayores desempeñan actividades generativas como el cuidado de los nietos o familiares dependientes, el voluntariado y la participación cívica y política, pero se conoce poco sobre el número de ellas, su perfil sociodemográfico, y los beneficios que dichas actividades pueden reportarles. El objetivo de este artículo es ahondar en estas cuestiones. Método: Los datos analizados proceden de la Encuesta sobre Personas Mayores, realizada por el IMSERSO en el año 2010, que contó con una muestra representativa de la población mayor española (n = 2.535) obtenida mediante un muestreo aleatorio simple. Resultados: El 49% de la muestra estaba implicada en alguna actividad generativa en el momento del estudio, siendo la más frecuente de ellas el cuidado de nietos. El perfil de las personas involucradas en las cuatro actividades difirió en ciertas variables sociodemográficas. Sólo el voluntariado y la participación cívica se relacionaron positivamente con algunos indicadores de bienestar. Discusión: La mitad de las personas mayores parecen implicarse en actividades beneficiosas para la sociedad, aunque la probabilidad de hacerlo podría depender de su perfil sociodemográfico. No obstante, según los resultados obtenidos, cuidar de nietos o personas dependientes podría no incrementar su bienestar, por lo que su carácter generativo se pone en entredicho.

The Russian aggression against Ukraine has had a significant negative impact on both socio-economic and humanitarian indicators within Ukraine and within Europe. Therefore, the study of the impact of Ukrainian refugees on the development of the economies of Central and Eastern Europe is an urgent problem. Scientific publications on the trends of migration flows of refugees from Ukraine reflect not only the negative impact of these processes, but also outline positive economic changes in the host countries. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of Ukrainian refugee flows on the development of the hotel, restaurant and tourism business in Central and Eastern Europe in order to determine the role of refugees in the development of the housing market in the host countries. The article presents the results of using the methodology of a questionnaire survey of Ukrainian refugees and owners of hotels and hostels from host countries. The survey helped to identify the main items of expenditure of Ukrainian refugees, as well as the sources of their coverage. It was found that Ukrainians spent not only the aid allocated to them by the host government, but also their savings from their own bank cards. Thus, the study confirms the positive impact of the sudden increase in refugee flows on the development of the accommodation and catering industry.
