Examining the history of trust within Appalachian coal camps
Authors: Smothers Angel , Goins Kristen , Cole Tanner , Morgan Jaylyne , Young Erin , Young Kylie
Published: December 2023

First paragraph: In the last few decades of the 19th century, towns and settlements were sparse in the Appalachian Mountains. Due to this isolation, a culture of solitude and self-reliance developed, affecting the economic status of the area (Gabriel, 2014). Coal companies established numerous towns known as coal camps, exerting tight control over them. Consequently, community members of these coal camps relied entirely on the mining companies for survival. This dependency contrib­uted to the region’s decline; as coal lost its domi­nance and work diminished, economic opportu­nities also vanished. . . .
Update on current diagnosis and management of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma
Authors: Pavlidis Efstathios T , Galanis Ioannis N , Pavlidis Theodoros E
Published: December 2023

Well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma has a favorable prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of over 95%. However, the undifferentiated or anaplastic type accounting for < 0.2%, usually in elderly individuals, exhibits a dismal prognosis with rapid growth and disappointing outcomes. It is the most aggressive form of thyroid carcinoma, with a median survival of 5 mo and poor quality of life (airway obstruction, dysphagia, hoarseness, persistent pain). Early diagnosis and staging are crucial. Diagnostic tools include biopsy (fine needle aspiration, core needle, open surgery), high-resolution ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, [(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomo-graphy/computed tomography, liquid biopsy and microRNAs. The BRAF gene (BRAF-V600E and BRAF wild type) is the most often found molecular factor. Others include the genes RET, KRAS, HRAS, and NRAS . Recent management policy is based on surgery, even debulking, chemotherapy (cisplatin or doxorubicin), radiotherapy (adjuvant or definitive), targeted biological agents and immunotherapy. The last two options constitute novel hopeful management modalities improving the overall survival in these otherwise condemned patients. Anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibody immunotherapy, stem cell targeted therapies, nanotechnology achievements and artificial intelligence imple-mentation provide novel promising alternatives. Genetic mutations determine molecular pathways, thus indicating novel treatment strategies such as anti-BRAF, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor-A, and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor. Treatment with the combination of the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and the MEK inhibitor trametinib has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in cases with BRAF-V600E gene mutations and is currently the standard care. This neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery ensures a two-year overall survival of 80%. Prognostic factors for improved outcomes have been found to be younger age, earlier tumor stage and radiation therapy. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary, and the therapeutic plan should be individualized based on surveillance and epidemiology end results.
Proportionality, Defensive Alliance Formation, and Mearsheimer on Ukraine
Authors: King Benjamin
Published: December 2023

In this article, I consider the permissibility of forming defensive alliances, which is a neglected topic in the contemporary literature on the ethics of war and peace. Drawing on the jus ad bellum criterion of proportionality in just war theory, I argue that if permissible defensive force requires that its expected harms must be counterbalanced by its expected goods, then, permissible defensive alliance formation seems to also require that its expected harms must be counterbalanced by its expected goods, as the latter can result in much the same consequences as the former. Moreover, due to the incommensurability of values in play when making proportionality judgments, I argue for a value pluralist understanding of the criterion. On this view, defensive alliance formation is proportionate if the expected gains in certain values (goods) intuitively justify the expected losses in others (harms) when compared to the alternative expected value trade-offs of not allying. To explore the implications of my theoretical claims I consider them in relation to John Mearsheimer’s influential account of the causes of the Russo-Ukrainian War. On this account, the West’s strategy to assimilate Ukraine and Ukraine’s pursuit of NATO membership post-annexation of Crimea were disproportionate because the expected harms were unjustified when compared to the alternative expected goods and harms of forgoing Ukrainian membership of NATO. This does not imply that Russia’s aggression is just, but it does imply that the West and Ukraine are partially responsible for the war and that they acted impermissibly in attempting to expand/join NATO.

Temporal Subjectivity
Authors: Smith Shelley-Anne
Published: December 2023

This article discusses and summarizes a previously published article (Smith, Shelley, “Temporal Relativism and the Objective Present,” 2021, Journal of Posthuman Studies 5: 39–52) before building on the concepts presented to deepen the conversation between science and philosophy. Essentially, the previous article explored how the apparatus of human and non-human animal bodies play a fundamental role in the creation of perception. These physical mechanisms are time-dependent, and this indicates that there is a latency between an event and perception of the event. The article postulates a preconscious timeframe that is metaphysically objective. The current article discusses the notion of temporal relativism and its applications to metaphysical subjectivity, demonstrating that the time dependence of organic function implies that subjectivity, according to current definitions, is fundamental to most multicellular animal life.
Study of the microstructure-property-processing relationship in five potato (Solanum tuberosum) varieties during the frying process based on an automatic classification system using convolutional neural networks

Published: December 2023

Our objective was to identify and analyze the microstructural features of five different Peruvian potato varieties in fresh material and a frying process, using a 32-factorial arrangement of temperature and time. Two types of characteristics were measured. The first ones were of microstructural type (i.e., area, perimeter, length of major axis, length of minor axis, roundness, elongation, and compactness) and the second ones were of physicochemical type (i.e., L*, a*, b*, ∆E, acrylamide concentration, fat percentage, moisture percentage, and texture). For this purpose, potato microstructural characterization software was implemented, developing algorithms for image processing and analysis, as well as the classification of structural characteristics. Potato variety was found to exert a significant effect on the microstructural parameters of area, perimeter, major axis length, minor axis length, roundness, and compactness, followed by time, with a significant effect on the microstructural parameters of area, perimeter, major axis length, minor axis length, and compactness. Temperature exerts a significant effect only on roundness and elongation parameters. To observe the relationship between the microstructural and physicochemical parameters, a Pearson correlation was used where it was observed that the correlations between the physicochemical and microstructural variables evaluated were medium to strong.

Authors: Abdurahman Asma , Salah Monera , Aljledi Khalid , Alrezzagi Maram Salah
Published: December 2023

The accurate prediction of radio channel propagation is one of the most important factors for the design and optimization of wireless communication systems. Path loss is the key element to design appropriate propagation model. There are different propagation  models used to predict path loss, however, inaccurate propagation model may result in unsatisfactory services for the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) network. These include low data rates, high co-channel interference, and wasted received power.This paper presents a comparative analysis of radio channel propagation models specifically for urban environment. The aim is to evaluate and compare the performance of various models and accurately predict path loss and signal behavior in urban settings. The research focuses on adapting the Okumura-Hata model which is used by the Libya Telecom and Technology Company (LTT) for Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology in the GSM Band. This study is based on real time measurements collected in downtown Tripoli in Libya. It suggests considering other models, such as Standard Propagation Model (SPM), Cost-231, and Ericsson. Using MATLAB for simulation, the findings indicate that SPM model is the best fit especially when distance is over ~22 Km.
Optimizing SSVEP-based BCI training through Adversarial Generative Neural Networks

Published: December 2023

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) use brain activity to control external devices, with applications ranging from assistive technologies to gaming. Typically, BCI systems are developed using supervised learning techniques that require labelled brain signals. However, acquiring these labelled signals can be tiring and time-consuming, especially for subjects with disabilities. In this study, we evaluated the performance impact of using synthetic brain signals to train and calibrate an SSVEP-based BCI system. Specifically, we used generative adversarial networks (GANs) to synthesize brain signals with SSVEP information, considering cases with two and four visual stimuli. Four scenarios with different proportions of real vs. synthetic brain signals were evaluated: Scenario 1 (baseline) using only real data and Scenarios 2-4 with 10%, 20% and 30% of real data replaced by synthetic data, respectively. Our results reveal that synthetic data can be used to train the BCI without a performance loss across the tested scenarios when two visual stimuli are used and with an average performance reduction compared to baseline of 7% (Scenario 2), 10,3% (Scenario 3) and 9,3% (Scenario 4) for four stimuli. Furthermore, considering each recording has duration of 2 seconds, by replacing 30% of real data with synthetic data, there is an immediate time-saving of 48 s and 96 s in the cases with two and four visual stimuli, respectively. This trade-off between accuracy and efficiency has significant implications for improving the usability and accessibility of SSVEP-based BCI, especially for assistive applications.
Heat-Distribution Approximation of Cylindrical Wire Carrying an Alternating Current
Authors: Delkov Dimitri , Ulm Jürgen , Geldner Jan , Trella Tobias
Published: December 2023

This article presents a new approach for calculating the heat distribution of a cylindrical wire carrying an alternating current. It is an approximation method that uses the skin-depth factor to distribute the heat flow into two different directions. The main objective of this method is to develop a relatively simple heat equation to calculate the temperature in cylindrical wire without using Basel functions. First, a Fourier heat equation for direct current is shown and compared with 2D FEM simulation results. Then the  approximation formula will be derived from the Fourier heat equation for the case of alternating current (AC). A 2D FEM simulation is also performed for this case to validate the results of the approximation formula. The results show that the approximation formula is very suitable for most applications.

Authors: Enemuoh  , Charles Okechukwu  , Igbokwe  , Joel Izuchukwu  , Igbokwe, Esomchukwu Chinagorom
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the trajectory of gully erosion in South-East Nigeria over the past decade (2010-2020) and employs an artificial neural network model to predict future gully development for the next ten years (2020-2030). The analysis reveals a substantial increase in gully areas across the states of Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, and Imo from 2010 to 2020, indicating a pressing environmental concern. The predictive model, validated at 79.24% correctness, anticipates a significant expansion of gully coverage by 2030. The implications of these predictions highlight the need for proactive measures to counteract the adverse effects of gully erosion on the environment, infrastructure, and communities. This study provides valuable insights for regional planning, resource allocation, and policy formulation, emphasizing the urgency of collaborative efforts to address the escalating threat of gully erosion in South-East Nigeria.

Authors: SOMTOCHUKWU CHUKWUEMEKA KENECHUKWU ONWUZULIGBO  , JOEL IZUCHUKWU IGBOKWE  , ESOMCHUKWU CHINAGOROM IGBOKWE
Published: December 2023

The increasing demand for clean energy in society raises concerns about alternative energy sources, making it difficult to rely solely on one or two sources of electricity generation. This study aims to develop a GIS-based multicriteria evaluation system for identifying suitable solar energy power plants in Anambra State, Nigeria. Key criteria include solar irradiation, land use, proximity to transmission lines, accessibility, slope, and environmental constraints. GIS tools and satellite imagery data are used to analyze and visualize these criteria, enabling an efficient decision-making process. The methodology includes data collection, selecting and determining criteria for suitable site selection, constructing a hierarchical structure of site selection procedure, data acquisition, classification of acceptable criteria and factors into rank of suitability, determining the relative importance of each criterion using AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) based on pair-wise comparisons, assessing the consistency of judgments through a pair-wise comparisons method, and producing the final evaluation map. The results provide valuable insights into identifying suitable sites for solar power plants in Anambra State and are advised for use in other parts of the country. The GIS-based multicriteria evaluation system facilitates location decisions and increases efficiency in dealing with solar energy power plant siting. The study workflow model is suggested for smooth and quick appropriateness analysis and easy export as a python script.

Background: Hydatid cysts (HC) can involve all organs of the human body but most often in the liver (77% to 50%) and lungs (35%18%). (HC) is endemic in certain areas of the world as in the Middle and Far East, Iran, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. (HC) remains a considerable public health problem. Methods: In a retrospective study was carried out in north of Iran Guilan Provence. A total of 322 patients who were operated on for 382 (HC in the liver between 2016 to 2020 were evaluated. Patients were divided in tow group complicated (HC) in 87 patients and uncomplicated (HC) in 235 patients.frank intra-abdominal in 15 and frank Intrabiliary rupture in 14, occult Intrabiliary rupture in 32, cyst infection in15, intrapleural and intraparachimal rupturein 10 patients. Results: The patient’s gender included 72% were men and 28% were women with a median age of 18 to 64 years. Abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography, MRCPand ERCP were the diagnosis tools. In interapleural or intraparachymal rupture thoracotomy and laparotomy performed with evacuatin and omentoplaty, capitonnage and decortication.in trapricardial rupture thoracoyomr and pricadiotomy and laparotomy and omentoplasry, pricystectomy or capitonnage was performed There was one mortality. The postoperative morbidity was in 28 patients in complicated cysts and 12 in uncomplicated cysts. Conclusion: Complicated hydatid cyst of the liver can be successfully managed surgically with good long-term results. Complicated liver echinococcosis demonstrates several distinct features that differentiate it from the noncomplicated disease. Frequently severe clinical manifestations, complexity of surgical management, and the increased postoperative complications characterize complicated liver echinococcal disease

Sinergitas Pancasila dan Fatwa tentang Etika Dakwah di Era Digital
Authors: Islamy Athoillah
Published: December 2023

The phenomenon of da'wah content on various social media platforms that usher in social conflicts has become a crucial problem in Indonesia. This encourages the government and all elements of society to be able to minimize it. This study intends to identify and explore the dimensions of Pancasila values in the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council of East Java Province Number. 06 of 2022 concerning Da'wah Ethics in the Digital Era. This qualitative study in the form of literature study uses a normative-philosophical approach. The philosophical values contained in Pancasila become a theory of analysis of the subject of study. The data collection of this study uses documentation techniques, and data analysis techniques use the stages of data reduction, presentation, and verification. This study concludes that there is a dimension of Pancasila values in the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council of East Java Province concerning Da'wah Ethics in the Digital Era. First, the value of divinity (religion) and humanity in the prohibition of the delivery of provocative da'wah content. Second, the value of unity in advocating the delivery of pluralist and nationalist da'wah content. Third, the value of democracy and social justice in the recommendation of delivering da'wah content that maintains public conduciveness and stability. The theoretical implications of this study show that the universal values contained in Pancasila can be transformed into Islamic socio-religious fatwas, as well as fatwas related to da'wah ethics in the digital space. The limitations of this study have not identified the effectiveness of the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council of East Java Province on Da'wah Ethics in the Digital Era.
Objetos regulares. Convenciones sociales en los colectivos de vivienda CORVI (1953-1973)
Authors: Vergara-Vidal Jorge Eduardo
Published: December 2023

Los modos cómo las formas de la vivienda en altura son afectadas por convenciones y valores presentes en la sociedad son abordados en este trabajo tomando como estudio de caso los colectivos de vivienda desarrollados en la Corporación de la Vivienda (CORVI) entre 1953 y 1976. El texto discute las maneras en que este fenómeno adquiere la competencia de ser regular de forma independiente a la distribución normal de sus hechos, y describe el papel de las convenciones en la organización de esa regularidad. Utilizando datos del Catastro Nacional de Condominios Sociales del Ministerio de Vivienda e información bibliográfica, documental y planimétrica de los colectivos mencionados, se identifican tres maneras de expresión de la regularidad, asociadas a la serialidad, programa y tipología de las edificaciones, en las que las convenciones sirven como elementos de estructuración independiente a su contenido, lo que siguiere su utilidad heurística para el estudio de los procesos y repertorios de organización material de las sociedades.

Published: December 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, conmétodos de semiótica espacial, la capacidadcomunicativa de los espacios urbanos y suscambios temporales. En los conceptos semióticos,los espacios arquitectónicamente formadospueden describirse como conjuntos de textosespaciales formados e interpretados con la ayudade diversos códigos espaciales. Las formas de losedificios, sus lugares, los límites entre zonas consignificados distintos y otras característicasespaciales se consideran, bajo esta perspectiva,medios semióticos de comunicaciónintersubjetiva. Sin embargo, sus significadoscambian con el tiempo, y esto puede describirseen el paradigma conceptual semiótico comoresemiotización de los espacios formadosarquitectónicamente —el cambio de semántica yconstrucciones sintácticas de sus textosespaciales en nuevas condiciones pragmáticas—.Otro contexto arquitectónico que aparecealrededor de los edificios históricos en eltranscurso del tiempo, así como los cambiosdiacrónicos de los códigos espaciales, participanen estas modificaciones. Así, un análisissemiótico de la sintaxis y la semántica de lostextos formados arquitectónicamenteproporciona el método para los estudios de lacomunicación a través de la arquitectura no soloen sincronía, sino también en diacronía.
Las bóvedas tabicadas de las Maisons Jaoul: autenticidad y tradición técnica
Authors: Martín-García Estefanía
Published: December 2023

Las Maisons Jaoul fueron erigidas entre 1954 y 1956 en un momento de auge tecnológico de la construcción en hormigón armado. Estas viraban del purismo tectónico y de los cinco puntos de Le Corbusier hacia una nueva-vieja máquina de habitar, aunando técnicas y dejando atrás los planos cartesianos y níveos. Las bóvedas rebajadas de cañón, los muros de carga y la desnudez de los materiales en Neully provocaron que los críticos del genio moderno considerasen las Jaoul un experimento regionalista. El presente artículo estudia los motivos técnicos y teóricos de dicha arquitectura a través del análisis de las técnicas y de las obras previas del arquitecto. Se hallará respuesta constructiva al contrarresto de las bóvedas a través de la interpretación de los croquis, planos y cálculos que realizó Le Corbusier. Las conclusiones pondrán de manifiesto la importancia del diseño constructivo en el proyecto, así como las divergencias resultantes del proceso proyectual y la realidad construida.
Obra abierta. Transformaciones de la primera casa Frey en Palm Springs 1940-1963
Authors: Delgado Cámara Enrique , Martínez Arroyo Carmen , Pemjean Muñoz Rodrigo
Published: December 2023

Esta investigación se centra en el análisis de las diferentes etapas de la primera casa que Albert Frey realizó para sí mismo en Palm Springs. Un proyecto que se desarrolló a lo largo de 23 años, y cuyas transformaciones y adiciones sucesivas pueden entenderse como un viaje por etapas, que fue reflejo de la propia vida y forma de proyectar, ya que Frey puso a prueba en ella todos los mecanismos arquitectónicos que caracterizan su obra. La hipótesis de partida es la utilización por parte del arquitecto de una estrategia de ‘obra abierta’, según el concepto enunciado por Umberto Eco. Una casa experimental, no solo en el aspecto técnico, sino en cuanto al método y la utilización de los instrumentos de proyecto. Se ha seguido una metodología que consiste en estructurar el artículo a partir de los períodos de construcción de esta casa transformable, identificando y analizando las herramientas arquitectónicas utilizadas.

Promoting the Singular Therapeutic Project in a public hospital
Authors: Sarmento Tuane , Gomes Magda Silva , Carsten Kelly Iahn , Milan Danyara
Published: December 2023

The objective this study was to report the application of the Singular Therapeutic Project (STP) in a public hospital. For five weeks, five multiprofessional residents were allocated in a medical clinic and neurosurgery unit, where they selected patients for the development of STP. 10 STP were performed, most with patients with complex clinical conditions, unable to answer for themselves, with no companions during hospitalization or with family members with low levels of education. Among the challenges encountered, there was difficulty in sharing decisions with the medical team regarding hospital discharge, which sometimes did not consider the subject's totality, also the lack of understanding of the clinical staff regarding the need for some pharmacological measures and the lack of psychological support to the patients during hospitalization. In contrast, the medical team observed the rapid evolution of the clinical condition of the patients involved in the STP, and began to request multiprofessional follow-up for other patients. Despite the challenges, the development of the STP provided an understanding of the importance of each profession and of humanized patient care. The reception, qualified listening and continuity of care, made a difference in the physical, psychological well-being and in the evolution of the clinical condition of those involved.

Introduction: Changes in nutritional status in the elderly are related to the cause of many clinical complications. Inadequate acceptance of the diet can lead to a significant worsening of nutritional status during hospitalization. Objective: to analyze the dietary factors that make it difficult for elderly hospitalized patients to accept the oral diet. Methods: The study was quantitative, exploratory-descriptive and cross-sectional, with patients aged 60 years or over using the exclusive oral route for at least 3 days, both sexes, from June to September 2023. The medical records were analyzed for information for nutritional anamnesis. Data on food acceptance were obtained and the Dietary Assessment Scale for the Hospitalized Elderly was applied. Results: The sample consisted of 13 elderly people with predominantly low weight nutritional status. It was identified that dietary factors are not those that make oral feeding most difficult for those evaluated, but that those who mentioned it, pointed out the temperature as decisive for eating. Conclusion: There is a need to evaluate the processes involved in preparing these meals and develop strategies to stimulate patients' food intake, based not only on nutritional functions, but also on the hedonic and social functions of hospital food.

Principios del Estado de Derecho (una Pincelada Histórica)
Authors: Brewer Allan
Published: December 2023

La presente exposición teórica acerca del estado de derecho como sistema de organización política de la sociedad actual en el mundo occidental, es aquél regido por una Constitución, que como pacto político debe haber sido adoptado por el pueblo en ejercicio de su soberanía; donde sus representantes electos democráticamente mediante sufragio universal y secreto, gobiernan y ejercen el poder público sometidos a controles conforme al principio de la separación de poderes, y con sujeción plena a la Constitución y a las leyes, garantizando en un marco de primacía a la dignidad humana, y donde los derechos del hombre están constitucionalmente declarados y protegidos, y en el cual los ciudadanos pueden exigir el control judicial de todos los actos del Estado». La idea de la supremacía constitucional, del gobierno representativo fundado en la soberanía popular, de separación e independencia de poderes como garantía de la libertad, la sujeción del Estado y sus poderes al imperio de la ley y del control jurisdiccional de la constitucionalidad y legalidad de los actos de éstos, procura el respeto y garantía de los derechos y libertades. El trabajo constituye un aporte para cualquier reflexión al respecto o intento de reformulación y sus distintas manifestaciones en curso.

The Economics of Time Travel
Authors:   University of Leeds, Mills Stuart
Published: December 2023

The lack of time travellers visiting us may be seen as evidence that time travel is not possible. In this article, I argue an alternative explanation is that we are not economically important enough to our descendants to justify the costs of time travel. Using a cost-benefit analysis, I elaborate on this argument. I suggest that the major cost of time travel is likely to be the energy cost, whilst the largest benefit of time travel is knowledge which the present possesses, but the future has lost. Focusing on this benefit, I argue it is extremely unlikely that we possess a piece of knowledge which is sufficiently important to a future civilisation (system critical), but also has been lost by said civilisation. This is to say, we may not have been visited by time travellers because we are not important enough.
