The Implementation Effect of China’s River and Lake Chief System
Authors: Song Tao , Zhao Yuntong , Wang Min , Cheng Zhe
Published: March 2024

The river and lake chief system offers a valuable policy toolkit to mitigate the degradation of water ecology, thereby bolstering water resource management for sustainable water development in China. To evaluate the effects of implementation and improve policy, this study took Beijing as a typical case and conducted a quantitative assessment using multidimensional data. The findings suggest that while the river and lake chief system in Beijing is effective and has significantly contributed to the ecological management of rivers and lakes, there are also notable regional disparities and urban–rural divergences. In addition, human activities are the main sources of environmental pollution in rivers and lakes, which should be the focus of the river and lake chief system. The river and lake chief system needs to embed more public participation and cooperative governance. This research aids in better understanding China’s river and lake chief system for both researchers and practitioners, facilitating the advancement of the knowledge body of global water policy and governance.

In 2017, a study at the Oil Seeds Research Section in Tandojam analyzed growth and yield across eight sunflower genotypes: Corolla, Melbour, Vulgare, Turkish, Samson-30, Sputnik, HO-1, and Parson. Using a randomized complete block design with three replications, significant variations were discovered in days to flowering and maturity, plant height, head diameter, number of seeds per head, seed yield, and seed index, emphasizing the distinct performance of each genotype. Advanced genotypes like Sputnik and HO-1 required more days to flower, with Parson and Sputnik showing the latest maturity. Turkish plants were notably taller, while Parson had the shortest stature. Parson and HO-1 stood out with larger head diameters and higher seed indexes, with Parson also leading in seed yield, suggesting their high breeding value. Positive correlations among various growth and yield parameters underscore the potential of these genotypes in breeding programs aimed at improving sunflower yields. This concise analysis highlights the diversity and breeding prospects within sunflower genotypes, offering valuable insights for future genetic improvement efforts.
Les dépenses publiques dans l’Athènes démocratique : 200 ans après August Böckh
Authors: Pritchard David
Published: March 2024

En 1817, dans son ouvrage consacré à l’économie politique d’Athènes, August Böckh affirmait que les Athéniens de l’époque classique avait préféré gaspiller leurs ressources pour financer des festivals au lieu des les utiliser pour les dépenses militaires. Depuis cette date, de nombreuses sources nouvelles, notamment épigraphiques, permettent d’apprécier cette thèse pour la période 430-350 a. C. La conclusion est sans appel : les dépenses militaires étaient de très loin le premier poste de dépenses pour Athènes.
L’impact économique de la présence militaire étrangère en Phrygie : soldats et vétérans comme consommateurs et producteurs (époque achéménide–fin du Haut-Empire)
Authors: Roux Michel
Published: March 2024

The impact of the presence of foreign troops stationed in a given region was considered for a long time by the historians catastrophic on a demographic and economic plan. New searches, begun during 1960s, demonstrated that things were more complex in reality. This article tried to apply these new keys of interpretation in Phrygia, a region situated in the west central part of Asia Minor, occupied successively by forces in the service of the Great King, Seleucid and Attalid Kingdoms, and finally the Roman Empire, taken away from the borders, and thus being situated in an average position in terms of military presence.
Épigraphie des amphores de la Bétique et épigraphie lapidaire : . l’apport d’une approche croisée à l’histoire socio-économique des élites : les dossiers des Stertinii et des Ocratii de Volubilis
Authors: Des Boscs-Plateaux Françoise
Published: March 2024

Dans les deux dossiers présentés ici, celui des Stertinii du sud de la péninsule Ibérique et celui des Ocratii de Volubilis, la confrontation de l’épigraphie lapidaire et de celle des amphores Dressel 20 peut permettre d’éclairer les processus de promotion et la trajectoire de certaines familles sur une longue durée. En s’appuyant sur la notion de génération et sur une chronologie, l’analyse montre comment, dans le cas des Stertinii, des investissements dans la production des amphores réalisés dans le premier tiers du Ier s. par les chargés d’affaires, affranchis ou descendants d’affranchis, d’une famille sénatoriale en vue ont permis l’ancrage des premiers en Bétique et leur progressive élévation dans la hiérarchie sociale. Le dossier des Ocratii montre aussi qu’au IIe s. pour une famille ambitieuse de la Tingitane voisine parvenue au sommet de la notabilité locale, des investissements dans la commercialisation de l’huile de Bétique, ont pu aider partiellement à atteindre le cens sénatorial.

Démosthène fabuliste ? L’ombre d’un âne entre comédie, proverbe et fable chez les scholiastes et les lexicographes
Authors: Fernandez Matthieu
Published: March 2024

In the end of Demosthenes’ demegoria On the Peace, we can find a strange metaphor, which have proved to be hard to explain : “ over the shadow at Delphi”. Demosthenes is thinking about the Amphictyonic Council, that he pretends to be despising. This metaphor is framed from the proverb “ over the shadow of a donkey”, which can be found before Demosthenes’ time in Aristophanes, Sophocles, Plato and later in Menander. It is also the title of a lost play from Archippos. As explained by scholia and lexica, it has its origins in an apologue. Some of them assert that Demosthenes is the author of this apologue : he would have been telling this story before the Ecclesia or before some court. By this way, scholiasts and lexicographers try to fill a gap in the corpus demosthenicum and to make of Demosthenes a master in telling fables too. They want to offer him as a model to those practicising preliminary rhetorical training (progymnasmata).

We cannot find any fable indeed on Demosthenes’ works that have survived. The only pieces of evidence we have are an account by Plutarchus and a metaphor that can be found in Against Aritogeitonos I, which is imitated in Against Aristogeitonos II. All these stories deal with dogs, wolves and sheep, currently used in Aesopica in similar patterns. So fables might have been typical of oral speeches. That would explain why we have so few pieces of evidence in Demosthenes, whereas Aristophanes and Aristotle say us orators used telling fables.
Le ὀφημίαρχος de Kérinthos en Eubée. Une interprétation linguistique
Authors: Alonso Deniz Alcorac
Published: March 2024

Two inscriptions found at Kerinthos (territory of Chalcis), dating to the 4th and 3rd century BCE, document the noun ὀφημίαρχος, which refers to a local official unknown elsewhere. The present paper claims that the first constituent of ὀφημίαρχος is * ὄφημος or * ὀφήμιος, a compound which combines * ὀπί,

an old variant of the preposition ἐπί ‘ on’, and the neuter ἧμα ‘ a throw’ > ‘ projectile’, a deverbative noun from ἵημι “ to throw”. From both a derivational and a semantic point of view, * ὄφημος / * ὀφήμιος is accounted for as a hypostasis of the phrase * ὀφ’ ἥματι / ἥματος ‘ over the projectile’, where the preposition indicates ‘ control’ or ‘ supervision’. According to this hypothesis, the ὀφημίαρχος was the leader of the * ὄφημοι or * ὀφήμιοι, originally the ‘ supervisors of the projectiles’, who probably were members of a group called * ὀφημία (Ionic * ὀφημίη).
Sources, cibles et structure de deux réflexions de Porphyre sur l’athéisme (commentaire sur le Timée, fragment 28 Sodano ; Lettre à Marcella 21-23)
Authors: Piscini Gianluca
Published: March 2024

Le fragment 28 Sodano du Commentaire sur le Timée et les chapitres 21-23 de la Lettre à Marcella de Porphyre contiennent tous deux une classification des causes de l’athéisme. La présente étude se propose d’étudier ces deux réflexions porphyriennes qui, jusqu’à présent, n’ont été ni examinées en détail, ni comparées. Pour ce faire, on commencera par une brève analyse de deux autres textes similaires. Porphyre a repris en effet une liste des causes d’impiété dressée par Platon dans les Lois, qui avait déjà été exploitée par Origène dans son Traité de la prière. On remarque d’une part, une structuration ordonnée des causes d’athéisme, qui forment une gradation, et d’autre part, une actualisation du texte platonicien de la part d’Origène : autant de traits qui caractérisent aussi la réflexion de Porphyre. Mais on verra que ce dernier fait preuve d’une remarquable originalité, en complétant la taxinomie proposée par ses prédécesseurs et surtout, dans la Lettre à Marcella, en structurant le texte de manière à renforcer l’opposition entre les différentes opinions philosophiques qu’il décrit. L’étude des affinités entre les deux textes porphyriens et de la construction de Lettre 21-23 permettra de jeter une lumière nouvelle sur la question des cibles du philosophe, identifiées par certains avec les chrétiens.
Argos, l’Empire romain et les historiens aujourd’hui : déconstruire les représentations, reconstruire l’histoire argienne
Authors: Weber-Pallez Clémence
Published: March 2024

This article examines the dangers of anachronism in the use of late sources to reconstruct the history of Argos in the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods. Three traditional historiographical objects – the Argolid region, the Argolic shield and the destruction of Mycenae in 468 BC – are analyzed as representations. Through the identification of the producers of these representations, from their creation to their impact on current research, we attempt to draw a new history of Argos that steers away from the stereotypes conveyed by imperial period sources.

Authors: Ho Thi Bich Thuy , Tran Van Huy , Nguyen Duc Thong
Published: March 2024

Background: Colonoscopic polypectomy is the best important intervention for the prevention of colorectal cancer progression. The hot polypectomy with electrocautery is a standard technique, effective. However, this technique has been associated with an increased risk of electrocautery-related complications, including bleeding or perforation and incomplete resection. To reduce these complications, Cold snare polypectomy: a mechanical method that uses a snare without electrical current, which has proven to be simple and safe without the potential risks involved in electrically induced heat. Cold snare polypectomy (CSP): a mechanical method that uses a snare without electrical current, which has proven to be simple and safe without the potential risks involved in electrically induced heat.

Objective: Evaluation of the success rate of colon polypectomy ≤ 10 mm by cold snare polypectomy. Investigate complications of this technique and some related factors.

Methods: Comparative study on 96 colonoscopy patients with polyps ≤ 10 mm in size, randomly divided into two groups to receive endoscopic polypectomy with cold noose (CSP) and hot noose (HSP).

Results: Complete polypectomy (94.5%), complete polypectomy results in a higher percentage in the CSP group (95.8% compared to HSP 93.8%) (p > 0.05); Specifically, the rate of complete removal of polyps with sizes < 5 mm, 5 - 8 mm and 9 - 10 mm, respectively, is 100%; 95.9 and 83.3% (p > 0.05). Complications of early bleeding occurred 3.1% (4.2% CSP group compared with 2.1% HSP group), 1 case of late bleeding in HSP group (2.1%)

Conclusion: CSP or HSP can is safely used as one of the standard techniques for resection of 4 - 10 mm colorectal polyps.

Key words: cold snare polypectomy (CSP), hot snare polypectomy (HSP), colonscopy, completely removed.

Authors: Nguyen Duy Thinh , Ta Van To , Nguyen Tran Bao Song , Ngo Quy Tran , Tran Thi Nam Phuong , Le Vi , Tran Thi Hoang Lien , Dang Cong Thuan
Published: March 2024

Background: WHO 2019 classification makes important histopathology additions to gastrointestinal lymphoma. This study aimed to investigate the role of histopathology and immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis and classification of gastrointestinal lymphomas.

Materials and method: We investigated 141 patients from three tertiary referral hospitals with primary malignant lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract. The lesions were evaluated and analyzed by using histopathology to classify the prevalent histopathological patterns of gastrointestinal lymphoma according to the WHO 2019 classification based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

Results: 90.8% of gastrointestinal lymphomas were lymphoid infiltrates on histopathology. The most common type was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in which activated -B cell (ABC) subtype accounted for 54%, and germinal-center B-cell (GCB) accounted for 46%. In the second place was mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) accounting for 24%, followed by follicular lymphoma at 10.6%. Histopathology can orient to the diagnosis of DLBCL and MALT with sensitivity at 31% and 29%, respectively.

Conclusions: Orientation based on histopathology of those tumor classifications is challenging. However, the combination of histopathology and immunohistochemistry could help to classify the majority of gastrointestinal lymphoma types.

Key words: Gastrointestinal lymphomas, DLBCL, MALT.
Thrombocytopenia and association with clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis and sepsis shock
Authors: Le Thi Ngoc Thuy , Truong Thuc Lien , Tran Xuan Thinh , Nguyen Van Minh , Phan Thang
Published: March 2024

Background: Thrombocytopenia is a common problem in critically ill patients with sepsis and septic shock. Both thrombocytopenia and high mean platelet volume (MPV) were considered poor prognostic factors, as they were associated with increased multi-organ failure, bleeding, length of ICU stay, and mortality in the intensive care unit. The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between thrombocytopenia and high mean platelet volume with clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis and sepsis shock.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 112 patients above 16 years old who were diagnosed with sepsis and septic shock according to the Sepsis-3 definition from January 2022 to May 2023.

Results: 55.4% of patients were male, a mean age of 66 years with 54.5% sepsis, and 45.5% sepsis shock. 57/112 (50.9%) had thrombocytopenia, with mild, moderate, and severe thrombocytopenia rates of 27.7%, 17.9%, and 5.4%, respectively. The gastrointestinal (43.8%) and respiratory (37.5%) tracts were the two most common sites of infection followed by P. aeruginosa (32.3%) and E. coli (29%) being the most commonly isolated pathogen. Sepsis and sepsis shock patients with thrombocytopenia had prolonged ICU stay (6 days vs. 4 days), high rates of multi-organ dysfunction (96.5% vs. 69.1%), and high mortality rates (49.1% vs. 10.9%) compared to those without thrombocytopenia, with p < 0.01. Thrombocytopenia is a risk factor for mortality with OR = 5.2 (95%CI [1.30 - 20.68], p < 0.05). The MPV in the non-survival (10.37 ± 1.55) was higher than the surviving group’s (9.63 ± 1.62), respectively.

Conclusion: Thrombocytopenia was present in 50.9% of critically ill patients with sepsis and sepsis shock. Thrombocytopenia and increased MPV are prognostic factors for poor clinical outcomes in sepsis and sepsis shock patients.

Key words: thrombocytopenia, mean platelet volume, sepsis, sepsis shock, mortality rate.
Determining the CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 polymorphisms among patients with gastroduodenal diseases by PCR-RFLP technique
Authors: Ha Thi Minh Thi , Nguyen Thi Mai Ngan , Le Phan Tuong Quynh , Le My Diem , Ngo Thi Dieu Huong
Published: March 2024

Background: Pharmacogenetics is at the heart of precision medicine. The CYP2C19 gene encodes the cytochrome P450 2C19 enzyme which is involved in the metabolism of proton pumps inhibitors in liver. The most common alelles encoding non-functional proteins are CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3.

Objectives: (1) Establish a process to identify CYP2C19*2 and *3 polymorphisms by PCR-RFLP technique; (2) Determine the prevalence of CYP2C19 genotypes by *2 and *3 polymorphisms among H. pylori-positive patients with gastroduodenal diseases. Materials and methods: DNA samples were extracted from 112 gastric biopsy specimens. The CYP2C19*2 and *3 polymorphisms were identified by PCR-RFLP technique. Confirming the results in 10% of the samples randomly by Sanger sequencing.

Results: The PCR-RFLP results of validated samples were in 100% concordance with sequencing results. The frequencies of the *1, *2 and *3 alleles of the CYP2C19 gene were 67.9%, 29% and 3.1%, respectively. The proportion of groups with normal metabolizer, intermediate metabolizer and poor metabolizer genotypes were 45.5%, 44.7% and 9.8%, respectively.

Conclusion: The intermediate/poor metabolizer genotype accounted for a high rate. PCR-RFLP is an accurate and cost-effective method to determine CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 polymorphisms. This technique can be applied to identify polymorphisms in patients with gastroduodenal disorders as a guidance for personalized therapy.

Key words: CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, PCR-RFLP, gastroduodenal diseases, pharmacogenetics.
O USO DA DEFINIÇÃO FORMAL DE LIMITE FINITO PARA FUNÇÕES REAIS: UMA PROPOSTA PARA O ENSINO
Authors: BURIGATO Sonia Maria Monteiro da Silva , Mustapha Rachidi
Published: March 2024

O objetivo principal deste artigo é estudar a seguinte questão: existem funções reais com valores reais, para as quais o estudo da existência, ou não, do limite finito em um ponto só é possível pela utilização da definição formal de limite? Para isso, primeiramente delimitamos o campo conceitual envolvido na construção do conceito de limite de função em um ponto, conforme Vergnaud, com intuito de elaborar situações para trabalhar com nossa questão. Em seguida, propomos três atividades, cujas análises, tanto didáticas quanto teóricas, ilustram a importância da definição formal como ferramenta pertinente para a abordagem dessas atividades. Além disso, o trabalho matemático apresentado visa contribuir para o aprofundamento do pensamento funcional, que é fundamental para a análise matemática em geral. Trazemos também discussões e considerações didáticas, e algumas observações sobre o ensino e a aprendizagem, relacionadas à definição formal de limite, inclusive dos principais conceitos envolvidos nesta definição. Sendo, assim, uma oportunidade para os estudantes aplicarem esta definição em situações em que não poderá utilizar as propriedades sobre os limites. Permitindo, com isso, que eles ampliem a compreensão deste conceito, conforme propõe Vergnaud.

A Classical Interpretation of the Quantum Universe Extrapolated from the Fine Structure Constant
Authors: Crary John R.
Published: March 2024

The Fine Structure Constant (FSC) model of the universe is a conceptual perspective based on a classical method for analyzing the Fine Structure Constant (α). A Python algorithm calculates prime number property sets where the sum of the elements equals the whole number values for αequal to 137 and 139. A hybrid coupling of these property sets produces a U{137/139}twin prime metaverse where α=137.036, an almost exact match to the observed value. The FSC Model projects that the Fractional Coupling Constant (α137= 0.036)is a more accurate measure of its relative electromagnetic (EM) strength. This same calculation is used to determine the Fractional Coupling Constants (αm) for the twin prime metaverses (U{2/3}, U{3/5}, U{5/7}through U{197/199}) to estimate their respective electromagnetic forces. The results suggest that this model mirrors our observable universe and offers an abstract landscape into the quantum nature of electromagnetic forces, including Baryonic Matter, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and a possible variable speed of light.
Rage: Stephen King’s Strange Fiction becomes a Grim Reality
Authors: Rajadurai R , Arul A , Vignesious Stanley J
Published: March 2024

In this study, a critical analysis of one of Stephen King’s most well-known novels, Rage, is taken into consideration. A psychological thriller is what you will find in Rage. There is a school shooting depicted in the novel that is based on actual incidents that took place in secondary schools throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. The psychology of school children and the conditions in which they find themselves are also discussed in this essay. The plot revolves around a troubled high school student who struggles with issues of authority and who commits murder against one of his teachers while also holding the majority of his classmates captive. While Charlie Decker is in the midst of a protracted, stressful, and exhausting warm evening, he discusses what led him to this dramatic series of acts. At the same time, he is examining the identities of his peers and asking each of them to defend their own lives. Surprisingly, this book is linked to a number of incidents involving shootings at top universities. There was one such incident that resulted in the deaths of three classmates and the injuries of five more. A teenager named Michael Carneal’s closet serves as the setting for the tale. In this particular instance, Rage was responsible for the sixth high school shooting. As a result, the purpose of this research is to investigate the causes and consequences of the novel as well as the shootings that occurred in real life that are linked to it.

Authors: Imp Christina , Frauscher Eva
Published: March 2024

Im Rahmen der kontinuierlichen Weiterentwicklung und Vernetzung der Hochschullernwerkstätten (HSLW) an der Pädagogischen Hochschule Steiermark wurde das Wahlfach „Hochschullernwerkstatt“ in fünf HSLW eingeführt. Dieses fördert die Kooperation und Partizipation von Lehrenden und Lernenden gleichermaßen. Das Ziel besteht darin, Studierenden die lernwerkstätten-übergreifende Bearbeitung ihrer Interessen und Entwicklungsbedarfe zu ermöglichen. Dieser Beitrag stellt das Konzept und die Rahmenbedingungen des Wahlfachs vor, wobei der Fokus auf der partizipativen Themenwahl liegt. Das Ziel ist, die Partizipation der Studierenden durch „effektive Mitbestimmung“ zu fördern. Zudem wird der Aspekt der Themenwahl und der bedarfsbezogenen Angebote auch empirisch beleuchtet, um Einblicke in die Umsetzung der Partizipation in den HSLW zu gewähren. Zuletzt werden Schlussfolgerungen für die Weiterentwicklung des Konzepts zur optimalen Förderung der Partizipation in Hochschullernwerkstätten gezogen. (DIPF/Orig.)
Die Bilderbuch- und Lernwerkstatt an der HAW Hamburg als Raum gelebter Partizipation?!
Authors: Schönborn Herrad , Buschhorn Claudia
Published: March 2024

Der Artikel stellt die Bilderbuch- und Lernwerkstatt (BiLe) des Departments Soziale Arbeit an der HAW Hamburg in den Mittelpunkt und beschreibt diese als einen in Anlehnung an das Werkstattprinzip (Wedekind 2006) vorstrukturierten Raum, der Inspiration und Materialien für Studierende, Lehrende und Kinder bietet. Neben dem Raum vor Ort gibt es Mobile Lernboxen und Kinderbücher, die ausgeliehen werden können. Bei der Anschaffung, Entwicklung und Pflege dieser zentralen Bestandteile der BiLe wird der Fokus auf die Partizipation von Studierenden gelegt. Partizipation bedeutet mit Straßburger & Rieger (2014), dass die beteiligten Personen an Entscheidungen mitwirken und Einfluss auf das Ergebnis nehmen können. Getragen wird diese Grundhaltung von der Annahme, dass Studierende, die Partizipation erleben, ihre pädagogische Praxis in Zukunft ebenfalls partizipativ gestalten, sodass letztlich Befähigungs- und Verwirklichungschancen der Adressat:innen erweitert werden (vgl. Voigtsberger 2016). (DIPF/Orig.)

Relevanz von Demokratielernen und Partizipation im Kontext von Schule und Unterricht
Authors: Gunzenreiner Johannes , Reitinger Johannes , Rombach Mirjam
Published: March 2024

Der Diskurs um die Partizipation von Kindern und Jugendlichen hat durch die am 20. November 1989 verabschiedete Kinderrechtskonvention und die Konsequenzen der Covid-19 Pandemie nichts an Bedeutung und Aktualität verloren. Im Beitrag wird aufgezeigt, welche Voraussetzungen für eine gelingende Partizipation im schulischen Kontext zielführend sein können, veranschaulicht durch den Einbezug konkreter Beispiele aus der Praxis. Des Weiteren wird vertieft auf Begründungslinien für Partizipation von Schüler:innen eingegangen. Dabei wird der Gedanke schulischer Partizipation insbesondere mit John Deweys Demokratieverständnis verknüpft, demzufolge Demokratie in situativen Kontexten praktisch erlernt werden muss, wobei Schulen einen bedeutenden Ort für diesen Lernprozess darstellen. An dieses Demokratieverständnis schließt auch die trinationale Studie „Bildung und Partizipation“ an, im Rahmen derer unter anderem durch Fallanalysen untersucht wurde, in welchem Rahmen Schüler:innen in Schulen partizipieren können, inwieweit sich diese Möglichkeiten mit ihren Wünschen nach Partizipation decken, welche Voraussetzungen für das Mitwirken notwendig sind und welche Kompetenzen dadurch erlangt werden können.

Hochschullernwerkstätten und Partizipation. Kritische Anfragen aus der Perspektive der Kindheitsforschung
Authors: Gruhn Annika
Published: March 2024

Der Beitrag knüpft kritisch an programmatische Forderungen, Lernenden in pädagogischen Settings Partizipation zu ermöglichen, an. Aus einer Perspektive der Kindheitsforschung werden Fallstricke des Konzepts Partizipation in pädagogischen Kontexten skizziert. Dazu wird zunächst der Begriff Partizipation in seiner Heterogenität in den Blick genommen. In einem zweiten Schritt wird mithilfe einer machtkritischen Lesart des Konzepts der generationalen Ordnung erläutert, wieso der Anspruch der Partizipation in pädagogischen Kontexten und damit auch in (Hochschul-)Lernwerkstätten (beinahe) uneinlösbar ist – und abschließend diskutiert, welche Umgangsmöglichkeiten es mit diesem Dilemma gibt.

La industria del aserrío presenta diversos riesgos para los trabajadores, destacando golpes, caídas y cortes debido al uso de maquinaria y a prácticas laborales inadecuadas. Se realizó un estudio en seis empresas de Huancayo (Perú) para analizar estos riesgos y proponer medidas de control. Se utilizó un método descriptivo y transversal, seleccionando aleatoriamente 6 empresas homogéneas de la población total de 34. Se evaluaron variables como golpes, caídas y cortes, y su impacto en la salud de los trabajadores. Los resultados indicaron que los golpes representan un riesgo bajo a medio, siendo comunes, pero con lesiones leves. Las caídas presentan un riesgo medio, siendo frecuentes y causando lesiones temporales. Sin embargo, los cortes representan el riesgo más grave, con posibilidad de accidentes fatales, clasificándose como riesgo alto. Esto sugiere que, aunque los golpes y caídas son comunes, los cortes son menos frecuentes, pero más peligrosos. Es fundamental que los empleadores implementen medidas de control adecuadas, como la capacitación en seguridad laboral y el uso de equipos de protección personal, para prevenir accidentes graves. Además, se requiere una vigilancia constante de las prácticas laborales para garantizar un entorno seguro para los trabajadores del aserrío.

This research is motivated by discovering translation errors related to morphology and syntax and aims to obtain a profound understanding of grammatical errors in translation texts. These errors are repeated from generation to generation because they have become a habit. In this regard, the researcher presents various errors in morphology, syntax, and semantics resulting from the translation of Indonesian-Arabic texts by UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta students majoring in Arabic Language Education. The results of these errors are determined by distributing written tests to students. This research uses a qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive research method. The results show that students' errors include morphological errors at the level of words and verbs and syntactic errors at the level of clauses, sentences, clauses, and preposition letters. There are several factors causing translation errors, namely interference between Indonesian and Arabic or its influence, lack of Arabic language rules and vocabulary mastery, and lack of translation practice outside the classroom.

Artificial lattices with semiconductor spacers are expected to exhibit changes in their magnetic structure owing to the control of their electronic states. The temperature (T) and magnetic-field (H
ext) dependence of the in-plane magnetic structure of an [Fe3Si/FeSi2]20 superlattice with a nonmagnetic and semiconducting FeSi2 spacer layer is investigated using magnetization and polarized neutron reflectivity measurements. When H
ext = 5 mT, nearly collinear antiferromagnetic (AF) structures are observed from 4 to 298 K. When H
ext = 1 T, field-induced fan-like, noncollinear AF structures showing ferromagnetic components along H
ext and transverse AF components are observed at low T.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasonography Using U Classification of Thyroid Nodules in Detection of Malignant Thyroid
Authors: Qurat Ul Ain Syeda , Bibi Sadia
Published: March 2024

Ultrasonography (US) helps diagnose malignant thyroid nodules based on various characteristics, including echogenicity, margins, microcalcifications, size, form, and aberrant neck lymph nodes. The study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for cancer diagnosis in thyroid nodules, using Histopathology as the gold standard. To minimize morbidity and death from the condition and the number of solely invasive procedures biopsies, the results of our research will give patients and physicians with a noninvasive, cost-effective, and conveniently accessible diagnostic technique for differentiating cancerous from benign nodules. A cross-sectional analytical study was designed to collect data prospectively from July 2022 to October 2022 in the Department of Radiology at Nuclear Medicine, Oncology and Radiotherapy Institute Islamabad. Patients in the age range of 18-60 years, both genders were enrolled. Th data was entered into SPSS 24. The frequencies and percentages of categorical factors such as sex and malignancy in thyroid nodules were determined using descriptive analysis. For numerical variables such as age, the mean and standard deviation were computed. We evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV with a 95% confidence interval for the U-classification of malignant thyroid nodules and represented as         Two by Two tables. In addition, Histopathology was used to evaluate U's efficacy as a diagnostic tool for finding malignant thyroid nodules. The study sample comprised 34 (68%) female and 16 (32%) male patients. On Biopsy, cancerous nodules were diagnosed in only 19 (38.5%) patients, and the remaining 31 (62%) had benign lesions. The prevalence of thyroid malignancy in our sample was 38%. On ultrasonography, malignancy was diagnosed in 15(30%) lesions, while the remaining 35(70%) patients were diagnosed with benign lesions. Histopathology confirmed malignant thyroid nodules in 15 (true positive) cases, whereas 6 (false positive) had no malignant lesion on Histopathology. In US negative patients, 27 were true negative, while 2 were false negative. The sensitivity of ultrasound U-score in diagnosing malignant thyroid nodules was 88.2%, specificity was 81.8%, PPV was 71.4%, and NPV was 93% Diagnostic accuracy is high when the US is used to detect thyroid problems, making it the preferred noninvasive technique. We recommend that thyroid lesions be routinely assessed clinically, imaged radiographically, and analyzed histo-pathologically. U Classification system for identifying potentially cancerous thyroid nodules is a valuable tool. It allows for a more prudent choice of nodules to undergo FNAC, reducing the number of needless procedures.

Published: March 2024

Developed a new method to overcome motion artifacts in Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, which often interfere with accurate clinical analysis. Motion artifacts, such as body movements, can cause significant distortions in the ECG signal, resulting in incorrect interpretation and affecting medical diagnosis. The main objective of this research is to design and implement an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter with a predetermined sequence, namely orders 2, 4, 6, and 8 to reduce motion artifacts in the ECG signal. We aim to improve ECG signal quality by preserving important ECG signal information and reducing noise caused by motion artifacts. This research contributes to developing more precise and reliable ECG signal processing techniques. The proposed method provides an effective approach to handling motion artifacts, enabling more accurate and reliable ECG interpretation by medical professionals. We used an ECG simulator that provides body movement simulation as a basis for experiments. The detected ECG signal is processed with a predetermined order IIR filter. We compare the filtered signal to the original signal to measure the effectiveness of reducing motion artifacts. Experimental results show that the applied IIR filter efficiently reduces motion artifacts in the ECG signal. The SNR assessment showed a significant improvement, proving the success of this method in maintaining ECG signal quality. The result is that in the 2nd order, the SNR value is 22.25 dB, in the 4th order the SNR value is 22.75 dB, in the 6th order the SNR value is 22.99 dB, in the 6th order the SNR value is 22.99 dB. 8 obtained an SNR value of 23dB. This study successfully demonstrated that using IIR filters in a specified order effectively reduces motion artifacts in the ECG signal, increases SNR, and maintains the integrity of clinical information in the ECG signal. The implications of this research extend to medical technology development and clinical applications, providing a strong foundation for continued research in more efficient and reliable ECG signal processing.
