Published: February 2024

Background: West Nile virus (WNV) infection is a seasonal arbovirosis with the potential to cause severe neurological disease. Outcomes of the infection from WNV depend on viral factors (e.g., lineage) and host-intrinsic factors (e.g., age, sex, immunocompromising conditions). Immunity is essential to control the infection but may also prove detrimental to the host. Indeed, the persistence of high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines is associated with the development of blood–brain barrier (BBB) damage. Due to the importance of the inflammatory processes in the development of West Nile neuroinvasive disease (WNND), we reviewed the available literature on the subject. Methods: According to the 2020 updated PRISMA guidelines, all peer-reviewed articles regarding the inflammatory response associated with WNND were included. Results: One hundred and thirty-six articles were included in the data analysis and sorted into three groups (in vitro on-cell cultures, in vivo in animals, and in humans). The main cytokines found to be increased during WNND were IL-6 and TNF-α. We highlighted the generally small quantity and heterogeneity of information about the inflammatory patterns associated with WNND. Conclusions: Further studies are needed to understand the pathogenesis of WNND and to investigate the extent and the way the host inflammatory response either helps in controlling the infection or in worsening the outcomes. This might prove useful both for the development of target therapies and for the development of molecular markers allowing early identification of patients displaying an inflammatory response that puts them at a higher risk of developing neuroinvasive disease and who might thus benefit from early antiviral therapies.

Published: February 2024

Green infrastructure (GI) is increasingly linked to urban water management and can contribute to achieving water security in communities. This research uses a variation-finding comparative approach to recognize how far GI solutions are currently used to address water security in the urban developments of Monterrey City, Mexico, and Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium. A comparative content analysis of seven related urban development/sectoral plans is conducted using ATLAS.ti 9 software. The results depict the overall distribution of GI implementations, their typologies and spatial scales, water-security aspects that are addressed by GI, and the related definitions in the plans. In general, our analysis does not present a promising situation for the Monterrey case, although it reveals that policymakers have started to use GI in urban plans to address water security. Considering Brussels’ conditions, although GI solutions are much more frequent and advanced than in Monterrey plans, the region cannot be considered a frontrunner of GI policies. Comparing these two remarkably diverse areas is beneficial to illuminate universal aspects of planning, as the method provides an opportunity to gain insight from a multi-city perspective, whether developed or developing, showing the potential areas to advance urban policies.

Published: February 2024

In order to effectively reduce the risk of underground debris flow, surface moraine is solidified and modified by using grouting technology to realize the change in fine-grained moraine from “powder” to “block” to change the source conditions of underground debris flow and to reduce the risk of moraine from the root. In this paper, the effects of grouting pressure, porosity, and pore diameter on the spillability of moraine are investigated experimentally. The results show that the grouting depth increases linearly with increasing sample porosity. For the same sample density, the grouting pressure is proportional to the grouting depth. As the pore diameter of the sample increases, the longitudinal grouting depth of the sample increases, but the transverse diffusion distance decreases. The chemical grout in the moraine is mainly split-infiltration grouting mode. The present research results can provide effective support for the prevention and control of underground debris flow in Pulang Copper Mine.

Published: February 2024

With the intensification of water pollution problems worldwide, constructed wetlands, as a green, efficient, and energy-saving wastewater treatment technology, have gradually attracted the wide attention of scholars at home and abroad. In order to better understand and master the research trends of constructed wetland treatment technology in China and promote its development, the literature from 2000 to 2023 in the CNKI database and the Web of Science (WoS) database (located in China) were selected as research objects. Then, CiteSpace software (6.2.R4) was used to visualize and analyze the literature, revealing the research trends and hot areas of constructed wetland treatment technology in China. Then, the optimized way of operation effect of constructed wetland was discussed to provide a theoretical and technical basis for the wide application of constructed wetland technology in our country. The results indicate that the annual publication volume of research on constructed wetlands in China is showing a rapid upward trend. Among them, the Chinese literature mainly focuses on how to improve the application effect of constructed wetlands on nitrogen and phosphorus removal of rural domestic wastewater by matching different wetland plants or developing combined processes. The English literature from the Web of Science (WoS) database mainly focuses on how to remove emerging pollutants, such as heavy metals and resistance genes in wastewater in China, by changing the filling matrix and microbial community structure or developing new processes, and the related mechanisms have been discussed. One of the hot spots for the future research of constructed wetlands in China is to vigorously develop microbial fuel cells, and try to overcome the problem of poor purification efficiency of constructed wetlands under complex conditions such as low temperature, low carbon-nitrogen ratio, and high pollution load. In order to strengthen its application, the specific optimization methods can be divided into two categories: self-optimization strategies such as increasing oxygen supply and transfer, providing electron donor matrix, preventing matrix blockage, and combination processes coupled with anaerobic treatment and other technologies.

Zoonotic disease surveillance and response simulation exercises are an important tool to assess national infrastructures and mechanisms supporting joint zoonotic disease surveillance and information sharing across sectors. In December 2022, the Jordanian Ministries of Health and Agriculture, supported by the World Health Organization Country Office, conducted a 10-day full-scale simulation exercise in Amman, Jordan, to evaluate the linkage between their electronic surveillance and response systems. An exercise management team designed a realistic fictitious scenario of an outbreak of avian influenza on a poultry farm that subsequently led to human infections. The functions and actions tested included all aspects of outbreak management, from initial reporting to conclusion. Debriefings and an after-action review were conducted after the activities were completed. Gaps in both ministries’ surveillance systems, epidemiological investigations, biosafety and biosecurity, sample collection, sample transport, laboratories, interventions, and coordination were identified. This simulation exercise was a unique exercise focusing on multiple technical and operational capacities that related to the joint response to potential zoonotic disease outbreaks and real-time information sharing between the sectors under the One Health approach. This exercise is a step towards the operationalization of the One Health approach in Jordan, building on the coordination mechanisms already in place.

This study seeks to identify the background and form of SLAPP actions carried out by the government against communities opposed to mining activities in Tumpang Pitu Banyuwangi. The research uses a qualitative description approach with a type of literature study. The data is obtained by reviewing literature sources, including books, journals, and relevant research results. The collected data is then classified based on primary and secondary data. It was then analyzed using Antonio Gramsci's theory of philosophy of hegemony. The results of the study stated that background related to the movement of community opposition over mining activities in Tumpang Pitu, Pesanggaran, Banyuwangi due to the transition of IUP from PT IMN to PT BSI through the Regent of Banyuwangi as stated in Decree Number 188/574/KEP/429.011/2012 and SK. 826/Menhut-II/2013. The form of SLAPP action from the government is identified in the repressive actions of POLRI officers and the punishment of one member of an environmental activist who is normatively protected by Article 66 of the PPLH Law. To create a good relationship between the Company and the community as a preventive effort to prevent a conflict, the formation of public policy must be bottom-up.

Dynamic Range Compression of Infrared Images Based on Histogram Equalization with Edge Inversion
Authors: Rudikov S. I. , Tsviatkou V. Yu. , Shkadarevich A. P.
Published: February 2024

The problem of compression of the dynamic range of infrared images is considered. To improve the quality of tone mapping of infrared images when their dynamic range is compressed and to simplify the control over the reproduction characteristics of infrared images, a dynamic range conversion algorithm based on adaptive histogram equalization with edge inversion is proposed. The essence of the algorithm consists in double reduction of the dynamic range of the infrared image with intermediate stretching, compression and overlapping of edges with inversion. To select the brightness interval and the degree of its stretching, the proposed algorithm uses the asymmetry coefficient. The algorithm makes it possible to improve some global and interval indicators of image reproduction quality by superimposing the edges of the histogram.

Published: February 2024

Experimental studies of nonlinear properties of low-power radio-frequency amplifiers similar to those used in 4G/5G mobile communication equipment of the FR1 frequency range are carried out. The measurements of the characteristics of the amplifiers are performed by using the double-frequency testing technique at frequencies of the n7 band (2500–2570 / 2620–2690 MHz), which is allocated in Belarus for 4G mobile communication systems, and the n78 band (3300–3800 MHz), which is planned to be used in Belarus for 5G mobile communications. Based on the results of the measurements of double-frequency characteristics of the amplifiers, their single-tone amplitude characteristics, as well as two-tone characteristics and values of the dynamic range of 3-, 5-, 7-, and 9th order intermodulation in the first harmonic zone, high-order polynomial models of transfer characteristics of the investigated amplifiers are synthesized. The synthesized models are suitable for use in a wide dynamic range of input signals in case of simultaneous modeling of nonlinear effects of all kinds that pose a danger to radio reception in a complex electromagnetic environment created in the frequency bands of mobile (cellular) communications: both “subtle” effects (intermodulation) and “rough” effects (desensitization, cross-modulation). When using the technology of discrete nonlinear analysis of the behavior of radio equipment in a complex electromagnetic environment, the obtained models provide high efficiency of simulation and quantitative analysis of nonlinear processes and radio interference occurring in 4G/5G/6G radio equipment and networks in a complex electromagnetic environment.
L’Observatoire cantonal de Neuchâtel et la mesure du temps (1858-1960) : instruments scientifiques, acteurs et espaces savants
Authors:   , Gressot Julien
Published: February 2024

The Observatoire cantonal de Neuchâtel was founded in 1858 by the Republic of Neuchâtel, which had been newly established in 1848. It represents an important milestone in an economic policy to support the watchmaking industry, a predominant area of activity in the canton of Neuchâtel. To carry out its mandate, the scientific institution has two main missions: firstly, to transmit the time to watchmaking localities so that watchmaking workshops have an exact reference for setting their timepieces; and secondly, to certify the quality of chronometers deposited with the establishment in order to facilitate the sale of production, particularly on foreign markets. The Observatoire de Neuchâtel specialised in the astronomical time measurement, a discipline in which it intended to remain at the forefront throughout its existence. This doctoral thesis examines the way in which a small scientific institution measured time up until 1960, the period when astronomical methods were used within the establishment. To do this, three main components of a culture of precision are at the heart of the analysis: the scientific instruments, the actors and the scholarly spaces. Three representative periods - 1861, 1913 and 1954 - will be investigated in particular, through the creation of operating chains, a methodological tool for understanding how time was made at the Observatory and how time measurement evolved between 1858 and 1960. During the century under review, the Observatoire underwent major changes, evolving from a scientific institution to a bureaucratic-scientific service. The aim of this work is to present the evolution of the notion of precision, based on the technical and methodological processes leading to the production of accurate time data within a scientific institution whose objective is to set the standard in time metrology.

main predictors of the development of this arrhythmia.
Material and methods.A single-center, cross-control study was conducted. Of all 6630 protocols analyzed, according to 24-hour ECG monitoring, AF paroxysm was detected in 97 people as an accidental finding. These patients were included in the main study group. The control group consisted of 99 patients from the same cohort without paroxysmal AF, having the anthropometric and comorbidity parameters similar to the patients of the main group.
Results.In the absolute majority (97.9%) of patients in the main group in whom paroxysmal AF was detected, a special variant of extrasystole was revealed – early atrial “P on T” type (versus 4.0% in patients in the control group) [OR 8461.648 (382.1983;187336)]. The number of supraventricular single, paired and group extrasystoles was significantly higher in the main group, but the number of ventricular extrasystoles did not differ significantly.
Conclusion.One of the main ECG predictors for the development of paroxysmal AF in asymptomatic patients is the appearance of supraventricular extrasystole of the “P on T” type. In the mechanism of formation of AF paroxysm during supraventricular extrasystole of the “P on T” type, not only electrophysiological mechanisms play a role, but also the heart biomechanics.

Published: February 2024

The way of life, consumption habits, urbanization rate, type of energy production and increasing energy need with growing economies and population progressively promote the GHGs emissions to Earth’s atmosphere. GHGs consisting of CH4, N2O, CO2, H2O and HFCs cause the climate change, disrupting ecological balance, melting glaciers with global warming in the last decades. Therefore, the issues of future prediction and reduction of GHGs emissions became crucial for policy makers of Turkey and other countries under the international protocols and agreements. This article aims to present the prediction and 8-year future forecasting of CH4, N2O and CO2 emissions of Turkey using past annual data between years 1970 and 2018 with grey, autoregressive integrated moving average and double exponential smoothing models. Based on the results, the best prediction performance is reached by DES model followed by ARIMA and GM for all the emissions. MAPEs calculated from the available data and prediction by DES model from 1970 to 2018 are 0.285, 0.355 and 0.408 for CH4, N2O and CO2 in turn. DES future estimations of CH4, N2O and CO2 at 2026 year are determined as 50700 kiloton of CO2 eq., 38100 thousand metric ton of CO2 eq., and 512000 kilotons.

Authors: Momoh Zekeri
Published: February 2024

Election stakeholders in Nigeria continue to express worry over the growing trend of hate speech, particularly during the 2015 general elections. The influx of advertisements, political innuendos, and propaganda messages in some chosen individuals who were in the forefront of delivering hate speeches in Nigeria prior to the 2015 general elections increased the socio-political climate. With regard to the 2015 Nigerian presidential election, this study aims to investigate the effects of hate speech from a few media reports. Secondary data are heavily cited in this study such as textbooks, official reports and publications, Internet resources, journals, among others. As for analysing the various data gathered, content analysis was performed. This study found that hate speech coming from particular media reports contributed to electoral-related violence and mistrust among Nigerians. Consequently, the electoral process' credibility is affected. This study recommended, among other things, that election stakeholders, in particular INEC, CSOs, Elections Observers and Monitors, should also keep an eye on the media, particularly native language radio stations that utilise hate speech to fan the ember of ethnic and religious separation.

Authors: Aziliya Dara , Sampurna Agung Firman
Published: February 2024

Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI) are crucial for promoting accountability and transparency, especially in countries such as Indonesia, where corruption and government fraud are widespread. These institutions help the public monitor the government and ensure that public funds are used effectively and efficiently. Achieving good governance requires close collaboration between people and SAI. This study emphasizes the importance of people's participation in Indonesia SAI (Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan/BPK) to identify public issues for auditing purposes. Every year, the BPK conducts over 500 audits, including financial, performance, and auditing with special purposes. BPK produces over 9,000 findings that the government needs to follow. This paper highlights the success stories of participation audits in the Philippines and South Korea, and how Indonesian SAI can learn from both. By working together with the public, audit reports can benefit stakeholders and contribute to better governance.

Language is an important role in human life. Humans need language in order to communicate with other people, interact and also to get information. With the existence of language, every human being can express an idea or ideas, imagination and desires the others. Language serves to unite the relationship between human beings. Language can also be called art because with language, we can express ideas or ideas with literal works commonly used in language arts or commonly called figurative language. Figurative language is a form of parable or not the actual meaning used to write or convey things related to everyday life. This study was conducted to analyze the types of figurative language in Bruno Mars' selected song lyric: "It Will Rain". This study uses the theory proposed by Perrine (1969) and the theory of Knickerbocker and Reninger (1963). the type of figurative language used in the lyrics of Bruno Mars' chosen song: "It Will Rain". Apart from that, the researcher also uses the theory proposed by Leech (1981) which serves to determine the meaning contained in the lyrics of Bruno Mars' chosen song.

Published: February 2024

Sekolah merupakan tempat di mana siswa belajar dan mencari pengetahuan serta bersosialisasi dengan teman-temannya. Sekolah seharusnya menjadi tempat yang nyaman bagi siswa, namun kenyataannya fenomena yang marak terjadi di sekolah adalah tindak kekerasan atau perilaku bullying yang dilakukan oleh guru kepada siswa maupun siswa kepada siswa lainnya. Tujuan utama dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara empati dengan kecenderungan perilaku bullying pada siswa-siswi SMA Pondok Modern Selamat Kendal. Subjek penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa-siswi SMA Pondok Modern Selamat Kendal. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah purposive non random sampling dengan menggunakan alat ukur yaitu skala empati dan skala bullying. Hasil uji dalam pengolahan data menunjukkan adanya nilai koefisien korelasi rx2y = (-0,035) dengan p = 0,000 (p<0,01). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara variabel empati dengan perilaku bullying. Artinya semakin tinggi tingkat empati maka semakin rendah tingkat perilaku bullying yang terjadi. Begitu pula sebaliknya, semakin rendah tingkat empati maka semakin tinggi tingkat perilaku bullying yang terjadi. Dengan demikian hipotesis minor dua yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini dapat diterima.

Â The development of Covid-19 has worsened the economy not only nationally but also globally. Since its spread, the price movement of the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) has continued to be volatile. JCI price volatility shows risk and uncertainty in investing. Volatility is used as a barometer to determine portfolio management strategies for financial actors. Therefore, financial actors should find a strategy to be able to predict JCI price movements to reduce risks and gain profits. One way that can be done is to predict the JCI price as a reference in investing. This study uses a hybrid model between the decomposition model and the Neural Network (NN) in predicting JCI price volatility. The decomposition uses two approaches, namely additive and multiplicative, the two approaches will then be combined with NN and the NN algorithm used is Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) where the results of the decomposition in the form of seasonal, trend, and random data are used as input in the FFNN architecture. The FFNN architecture in this study differs from the hidden layer nodes and the epochs used. Furthermore, the prediction results from the model are compared with a single NN. The performance of each architecture will be measured using the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Square Error (MSE). The results show that the hidden layer with more nodes can provide good performance while the epoch used provides good performance depending on the learning process carried out. The prediction results using the hybrid model can outperform the performance of a single NN.Keywords : time series, volatilitas, studi perbandingan, kecerdasan buatan, statistik.

Early Enteral Nutrition Support Combined with Health Education Improves Quality of Rehabilitation After Repair of Acute Perforation of Duodenal Ulcers
Authors: Xuan Li , Yu Cao
Published: February 2024

Acute perforation is a severe life-threatening complication of duodenal ulcers. During perforation repair surgery, it is necessary to provide patients with enteral nutrition support to ensure their life safety. Herein, we developed and administered a health education form targeted at patients undergoing early enteral nutrition after duodenal ulcer surgery to help them manage the pains associated with enteral nutrition infusion. We found that patients in the research group who received health education combined with early enteral nutrition support had better nutritional status and a significantly reduced risk of malnutrition than patients in the control group after the treatment. Furthermore, patients in the research group had a significantly improved understanding of enteral nutrition support than patients in the control group. However, no significant difference was observed between the groups based on the recovery process and the incidence of adverse reactions. In conclusion, health education combined with early enteral nutrition support can substantially improve the nutritional status of patients and enhance their recovery after the repair of acute perforation of duodenal ulcers.

Published: February 2024

Aim: This study investigates the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing healthcare insurance claim processing in the USA. It aims to determine the most effective machine learning (ML) model for predicting health insurance claims, leading to cost savings for insurance companies.
Methods: Six ML algorithms were used to predict health insurance claims, and their performance was evaluated using various metrics. The algorithms examined include support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), linear regression (LR), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and k-nearest neighbors (KNN). The research involves a performance assessment that encompasses key metrics. Additionally, a feature importance analysis is conducted to illuminate the critical variables that exert influence on the prediction of insurance claims.
Results: The findings demonstrate that the XGBoost and RF models outperformed the other algorithms, displaying the highest R-squared values of 79% and 77% and the lowest prediction errors. The feature importance analysis underscores the pivotal role of variables such as smoking habits, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure levels in the domain of insurance claim prediction. These results emphasize the degree to which these variables should be included in the formulation of insurance policies and pricing strategies.
Conclusions: This study supports the transformative potential of AI, with specific emphasis on the XGBoost model, in extending the precision and efficiency of healthcare insurance claim processing. The identification of key variables and the mitigation of prediction errors not only signal the potential for substantial cost savings but also affirm the potential to integrate AI into healthcare insurance processes. This research supports the value of the utilization of AI as an emerging tool for process optimization and data-informed decision-making within the healthcare insurance domain.
