A conceptual framework for understanding and articulating the social impact of community music
Authors: Bartleet Brydie-Leigh
Published: June 2023

This article outlines a conceptual framework for sharpening how we understand and articulate the social impact of community music. Frequently community music programmes speak about bold social impact intentions, especially in areas relating to social justice, with little explanation about the processes that could lead to such changes and patchy details about the extent to which those changes have actually occurred. This is not to say these programmes are not having a positive social impact in communities. Rather, there is an opportunity for our field to sharpen how we conceptualize, identify, evaluate and communicate these outcomes. This article builds on a mounting evidence base of research in our field that documents the multifarious benefits that come from participating in community music. However, it takes this research a step further by providing a conceptual framework for critically thinking through how these positive outcomes can lead to the kinds of macro, systemic changes needed for social impact to occur. As the field continues to grow and diversify internationally, against a backdrop of social, cultural and climate challenges, having ways to understand and articulate community music’s impact could enhance our practice and research, but also lead to greater influence in advocacy, policy and cross-sector domains.
Music, health and well-being in IJCM articles: An integrative review
Authors: McArton Lloyd , Mantie Roger
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study was to assess the ways health and well-being-related terms and concepts (health, well-being, quality of life, wellness) appear in International Journal of Community Music (IJCM) articles. The research questions were: (1) how are health and well-being concepts defined or expressed in IJCM articles? (2) What are the central themes or trends in the use of health and well-being terms in IJCM articles? And (3) what are the implications of the use of health and well-being terms for the practice and research of community music? Utilizing an integrative review methodology and supported by database software Airtable, this study examined the application, discussion, operationalization, and contextualization of music, health and wellness terms and concepts as they appear in IJCM to determine the degree of conceptual coherence on health and well-being related terms. Despite the historical and growing interest in connections between music, health and wellness among community music researchers, analysis revealed a lack of coherence in the use of health-related terms and concepts. Further, health and well-being are rarely operationalized in IJCM articles. As a result, findings from studies are not comparable and it is difficult for the knowledge base to advance.
The grief and the possibility: An autoethnographic reflection on teaching community music at third level during COVID-19
Authors: Turner Kathleen
Published: June 2023

In this autoethnographic reflective essay, I explore the challenges that the COVID-19 crisis presented to community music training and practice within a university setting, through the evocative ‘storying’ of key experiences from my own work. I acknowledge the sense of grief that came with losing opportunities for music-making face to face. Whilst online music-making matters, the visceral experience of sound within space was deeply missed by staff and students. In contrast, I also explore the possibilities that COVID-19 pushed us to explore. These include connecting with international partners in our regular teaching, establishing a digital collaborative project with a local school and creating online placement opportunities. I explore the unexpected developments in teaching, learning and scholarship that have occurred as a result. I also acknowledge the questions and critiques that the pandemic revealed. Whilst the longing for in-person music-making continued, it was reassuring to know that we retained our capacity to connect.
When Is Suspected Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) Not DILI? An Analysis of Unlikely Cases From the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network
Authors: Barritt A. Sidney , Barnhart Huiman , Gu Jiezhun , Dellinger Andrew , Rudnick Sean , Bonkovsky Herbert L. ,   for the DILIN Investigators
Published: June 2023

INTRODUCTION:

Diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is difficult. We reviewed cases in the DILI Network prospective study that were adjudicated to have liver injury due to other causes to discover pearls for improved diagnostic accuracy.

METHODS:

Cases were adjudicated by expert opinion and scored from 1 (definite DILI) to 5 (unlikely DILI). Confirmed cases (1–3) were compared with unlikely cases (5).

RESULTS:

One hundred thirty-four of the 1,916 cases (7%) were unlikely DILI. Alternative diagnoses were autoimmune hepatitis (20%), hepatitis C (20%), bile duct pathology (13%), and hepatitis E (8%).

DISCUSSION:

Thorough evaluation, including follow-up, is essential to minimize incorrect diagnosis of idiosyncratic DILI.
A Curious Case of Gastrointestinal Eosinophilia Induced by Treatment With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Authors: Reddy Yala Kirthi , Fischer Inderbitzin Sonya , Kolodney Joanna , Willard Megan
Published: June 2023

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized oncologic treatment. However, they are linked to various side effects,
1
a rare one being gastrointestinal eosinophilia. We present a patient with malignant melanoma treated with nivolumab. She underwent upper endoscopy 6 months later which showed a duodenal ulcer and linear furrows of her esophagus. Biopsies of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum were consistent with eosinophilic infiltration. Repeat endoscopy after nivolumab discontinuation revealed near-complete resolution of eosinophilia in the stomach and duodenum, with lingering eosinophilia in the esophagus. The purpose of this report was to increase awareness of gastrointestinal eosinophilia associated with checkpoint inhibitors.
Exploring film education in neurodivergent and economically deprived pedagogical settings in conversation with Del Pike of Hugh Baird University Centre
Authors: Smith Matthew , Pike Del
Published: June 2023

While creative subjects such as music, art and film have been deprioritised and defunded under the United Kingdom’s Conservative Government, the social and pedagogical utility of their study, particularly in areas of economic deprivation and within neurodivergent cohorts, is clear. This article draws forth these issues in a conversation with Del Pike, the leader and convenor of the Moving Image Production degree at Hugh Baird University Centre, Bootle, UK, a course which uses the study of cinema as a form of social corrective, and which encourages frequently marginalised learners to participate explicitly in the creation and analysis of culture. Our discussion details the pedagogical opportunities offered by the practical and theoretical study of film, and considers the challenges of film education in a further and higher learning institution located in a deprived area of England that engages with a high needs student body as an aspect of policy. The article seeks to understand how the practical study of film within a neurodivergent teaching context creates new expressive possibilities regarding film form and film education pedagogy.
Численное моделирование микроструктур и процессов разрушения зернистых композитов с учетом влияния межзеренных границ
Authors: Муллахметов Максим Николаевич , Mullahmetov Maksim N. , Ильиных Артем Валерьевич , Il'inykh Artem Valer'evich
Published: June 2023

Представлен алгоритм компьютерного моделирования микроструктур поликристаллических материалов с явным образом выделенными межзеренными границами.
Авторами предложена модификация разработанного ранее алгоритма синтеза зернистых микроструктур, в основе которого лежит процедура пошагового выращивания зерен из эллипсов.
Межзеренные границы заданной толщины формируются из исходной зернистой структуры путем смещения исходных границ внутрь зерна.
Такой подход позволил сохранить исходную форму зерен, незначительно уменьшив их изначальную площадь.
Преимуществом представленного алгоритма перед другими методами компьютерного моделирования поликристаллических материалов является возможность получения кусочно-линейных межзеренных границ разной толщины, величины которых могут не только быть заданы как различным законам статистического распределения, но и иметь одинаковую величину.
При этом сами зерна могут иметь как выпуклую, так и вогнутую форму, которую невозможно получить, используя большинство других методов компьютерного моделирования.
Представлены результаты генерации микроструктур поликристаллических материалов, содержащие более 100 структурных элементов и имеющие долю межзеренных границ до 20 %.
Представленные микроструктуры поликристалических материалов сгенерированы при различных начальных параметрах, на примере которых продемонстрированы все возможности разработанного алгоритма.
Приведены новые данные численного моделирования процессов деформирования и разрушения модельных зернистых материалов, для которых задано разное отношение прочностных характеристик зерен и межзеренных границ.
Показано, что в зависимости от величины этого отношения прочностных характеристик в поликристаллических материалах реализуются разные механизмы разрушения: интеркристаллитное, транскристаллитное и смешанная форма разрушения.

A Meta-analysis to Assess the Effectiveness of a Procedural Scale to Measure Pain in a Child Aged 0-1 Year
Authors:   Al-Ahliyya Amman University, Aldiqs Mohannad , Ahmad Muayyad
Published: June 2023

Background: This overview of the Ministry of Health's governance structure and the Health Information System (HIS) activities covers the current HIS situation. Purpose: This study describes the e-HIS in Jordan, whether it is standardized across health facilities, how information is used, and the resources needed for such systems to work efficiently. Methods: Accessible electronic reports and publications on the e-HIS in Jordan were reviewed from 2000 to 2022. Data was retrieved from the Ministry of Health of Jordan, the Department of Statistics, the Higher Health Council, and through PubMed, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases. Results: e-Health systems must connect hospitals, pharmacies, primary care providers, in-home patients, and administrative entities, such as insurers or the government. However, the standardization of e-Health is inherently complex. The health industry is heavily governed by national authorities. The risk of non-compliance with standards may increase as a result of technological advances. However, there are still unanswered questions regarding whether some of these programs are in competition or conflict and whether healthcare providers will appropriately apply standards. Conclusion: To achieve the goals of strengthening the health system, the HIS must, whenever possible, eliminate parallel reporting systems, enable single reporting routes, and ensure that data and analysis feedback are effectively shared. Implications for Nursing: This study can provide a launching point for further studies investigating the Health Information System (HIS) in Jordan and shed light on the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of effectively employing the Health Information System (HIS) by nurses and other healthcare providers in Jordan. Keywords: Standardization, e-Health system, Jordan.

Clinical case studies and reporting are important to the discovery of new disorders and the advancement of medical sciences. Both clinicians and basic scientists play equally important roles leading to treatment discoveries for both cures and symptoms. In the field of movement disorders, exceptional observation of patients from clinicians is imperative, not just for phenomenology but also for the variable occurrences of these disorders, along with other signs and symptoms, throughout the day and the disease course. The Movement Disorders in Asia Task Force (TF) was formed to help enhance and promote collaboration and research on movement disorders within the region. As a start, the TF has reviewed the original studies of the movement disorders that were preliminarily described in the region. These include nine disorders that were first described in Asia: Segawa disease, PARK-Parkin, X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism, dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy, Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, benign adult familial myoclonic epilepsy, Kufor-Rakeb disease, tremulous dystonia associated with mutation of the calmodulin-binding transcription activator 2 gene, and paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. We hope that the information provided will honor the original researchers and help us learn and understand how earlier neurologists and basic scientists together discovered new disorders and made advances in the field, which impact us all to this day.

Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Konzept Coworking und arbeitet auf Basis eigener empirischer Daten heraus, wie dieses Konzept im Zuge seiner wachsenden Verbreitung und der Etablierung von Coworking-Spaces als ‚dritten Orten der Arbeit‘ Legitimität für neue Gestaltungsideen und Wertvorstellungen von Büroarbeit generiert. Coworking-Spaces werden dabei als ‚dritte Orte‘ definiert, die dem Raumkonzept der Schaffung einer flexibel anpassbaren und Kreativität fördernden Arbeitsumgebung für Büroarbeiter:innen folgen. Das Geschäftskonzept Coworking-Space wird inzwischen aber auch als alternatives Organisationsmodell von Arbeit wahrgenommen. Dem Beitrag liegt das Forschungsinteresse zugrunde zu erkunden, wie und in welchen Variationen das Konzept Coworking in Büroarbeitsorganisationen, die sich selbst als Coworking-Space bezeichnen, adaptiert und praktisch umgesetzt wird. Nachgezeichnet wird, inwiefern Coworking als alternatives Gestaltungsmodell oder, im Sinne von Meyer und Rowan, Rationalisierungskonzept der Organisation von Arbeit Elemente eines neuen Normalitätsverständnisses von Büroarbeit generiert, welches über Betreiber:innen von Coworking-Spaces und Coworker:innen inzwischen in die Breite der Arbeitsgesellschaft getragen wird.
Mit Druckerzeugnissen Druck erzeugen ‒
Authors: Bebnowski David
Published: June 2023

This essay introduces the German term “Druckerzeugnisse” to portray pamphlets as formats that are particularly useful for expressing political protest and demands due to their interwovenness into political action. By analyzing “Druckerzeugnisse” of central groups of the German New Left during the “long sixties” this essay follows two objectives. 1. It argues that “Druckerzeugnisse” allow for factoring in political contention into intellectual historical research in a manner that remains close to the intentions of activists. 2. In doing so, “Druckerzeugnisse” are useful sources for new impulses in the intellectual history of the New Left due to their capacity to determine conflicting changes in the self-perception of political subjects. Based on the selection of “Druckerzeugnisse” this essay argues that the intellectual history of the New Left is marked by deep conflicts that eventually resulted in a Post-New Left.

The records of the Augsburg merchant Lucas Rem (1481–1541) are one of the most noticed ego-documents of the early modern period. Nevertheless, their codicological and scriptural character has not attired much attention. Based on a precise analysis of the different fascicles of the codex this article develops new insights into the interplay between economies of writing, forms of self-fashioning and mercantile ways of living.

Assuming a few injectivity and regularity properties for

Detecting terahertz wave by microphone based on the photoacoustic effect in graphene foam
Authors: Zhang Nan , Wang Tingyuan , Li Guanghao , Guo Lanjun , Liu Weiwei , Wang Ziyuan , Li Guanghui , Chen Yongsheng
Published: June 2023

Terahertz (THz) wave plays important roles in the research of material properties, the non-invasive human security check and the next generation wireless communication. The progress of the scientific and technological applications of THz wave is strongly dependent on the improvement of THz detectors. Here a novel THz wave detection scheme is proposed in which the THz radiation is detected by an audible microphone based on the photo-thermo-acoustic (PTA) effect in graphene foam. Thanks to the room-temperature broadband electromagnetic absorption characteristics of graphene foam and the fast heat transfer between graphene foam and ambient air, this detection method not only inherits the advantages of the photo-thermal THz detector such as room-temperature and full bandwidth, but also has a response time 3 orders of magnitude faster than the photo-thermal detector. Besides, no micro-antenna/electrode is required to fabricate in the graphene foam THz detector which greatly simplifies the detector design and decreases the fabrication cost. It concludes that the room-temperature, full-bandwidth, fast-speed (≥10 kHz), and easy-to-fabricate THz detector developed in this work has superior comprehensive performances among both the commercial THz detectors and the detectors recently developed in laboratory.

O ato de abrir o navegador, escolher um site de busca e pesquisar por algum conteúdo, pode ser uma tarefa simples e rotineira para a maioria dos usuários, porém, existe um lado obscuro da internet que pode ser explorado pelos mais diversos tipos de curiosos, desde ativistas até criminosos. É uma internet que não está acessível através de mecanismos de busca, como o Google por exemplo. Nesta parte obscura da internet, pode-se encontrar prática de crimes de todo teor, como: tráfico de armas, tráfico de drogas, exploração sexual infantil, fóruns extremistas incentivando atos terroristas, venda de crianças e filmes com conteúdo de violência extrema. Atualmente, o termo Deep Web está associado a tudo que é criminoso na internet, porém, não é bem assim. Nela, constam todos os seus serviços de e-mail, de banco e de compartilhamento de arquivos, contudo, nenhum deles pode ser acessado pelos mecanismos de busca automáticos, poupando os usuários de marketing não solicitado e exposição dos seus dados, sendo um modo de navegação com mais privacidade. Com base nas informações mencionadas acima, este artigo aborda o conceito da Deep Web, suas características, o propósito de criação dessa rede “oculta” e como a criminalidade virtual foi aumentando através dela. Também será abordado as principais redes que operam na Deep Web, como: Tor, Freenet e I2P e como os criminosos as utilizam para atrair “clientes”, entretanto, mesmo com toda essa criminalidade no ambiente virtual, há uma ativa atuação da polícia na investigação desses crimes, a fim de punir os responsáveis de forma devida. Entretanto, muitos desafios ainda precisam ser ultrapassados.
Targeting growth hormone in cancer: future perspectives
Authors: Wang Yue , Jamieson Stephen M F , Perry Jo K
Published: June 2023

Decades of published research support a role for growth hormone (GH) in cancer. Accordingly, there is increasing interest in targeting GH in oncology, with GH antagonists exhibiting efficacy in xenograft studies as single agents and in combination with anticancer therapy or radiation. Here we discuss challenges associated with using growth hormone receptor (GHR) antagonists in preclinical models and considerations for translation, such as the identification of predictive biomarkers for selecting patients and for monitoring drug efficacy. Ongoing research will determine whether suppressing GH signalling pharmacologically will also reduce the risk of developing cancer. An increase in GH-targeted drugs in preclinical development will ultimately provide new tools to test anticancer efficacy of blocking the GH signalling pathway.
Trust in Digital Voice Assistants: A Fundamental Determinant for Companies’ and Customers’ Engagement in Voice Commerce
Authors: Schultz Carsten D. , Paetz Friederike
Published: June 2023

Voice shopping, i.e., shopping via conversational interactions with digital voice assistants, is currently on the rise but still in its infancy in Germany. In the context of voice commerce, companies may utilize digital voice assistants as an additional communication and distribution channel. However, users’ entry into voice shopping is crucially determined by their adoption of digital voice assistants. In this context, privacy concerns are the primary challenge for the dissemination and acceptance of digital voice assistants impeding the advancement of voice shopping. Similar to the past emergence of electronic commerce, trust seems to be the ultimate and decisive factor for the willingness to use digital voice assistants and engage in voice-based interactions and transactions. We set up a model by combining the typology of trust with the established technology acceptance model applied to the context of digital voice assistants. In an empirical study, we test our model and found that, e.g., trust reduces perceived privacy risks and positively influences users’ attitudes and intentions towards and subsequently use of digital voice assistants. We found various routes of trust in the use of digital voice assistants as a necessary condition for users’ adoption. Our results provide insights into important antecedents for the dissemination of digital voice assistants and subsequently for the adoption of voice commerce into companies’ business models.

Métodos para caracterizar epífitas vasculares en el contexto del turismo de naturaleza
Authors: Reina-Rodríguez Guillermo A. , Rojas-Florez Carol
Published: June 2023

Abstract

[Introduction]: Epiphytes represent up to 10 % of global diversity and up to 30 % of Andean forests. Orchidaceae, Bromeliaceae, Araceae and Gesneriaceae are among the most important. Their shapes, colors, and sizes, as well as their interaction with insects, birds and invertebrates have captivated specialists, but also a wide audience around the world. Nature tourism is consolidated in places that offer unique experiences and is a growing economic sector in several tropical countries. Epiphytic plants are among the local attractions with the greatest potential for sightings in the tropics. [Objective]: To present a methodology to document epiphytes on farms, natural reserves, and protected areas, to improve biological information about them, facilitate guidance, and broaden the visitor experience. [Methodology]: Several years of field work have allowed us to adapt some methods and propose new ones to strengthen the experience of visitors with a focus on nature tourism. [Results]: Five methods are proposed (semi-detailed transects, sighting stations, ad libitum trails, fallen trees and permanent plots), and a in situ conservation method (living collection) to complete the characterization. Likewise, an analysis of the benefits, times, costs, and priorities of each method is presented. [Conclusions]: These methods, along with illustrated flora guides and trained local human resources, constitute the central axes for nature tourism, community empowerment and the strengthening of the conservation processes.
Ethanol pulping as a stage in the bio-refinery of olive tree prunings
Authors: Requejo Ana , Rodríguez Alejandro , González Zoilo , Vargas Fátima , Jiménez Luis
Published: June 2023

Biomaterials from olive tree pruning are an abundant agricultural residue in various Mediterranean regions. A suggested use of this residue is its separation in a main fraction (trunks and stems with diameter > 1 cm) and a residual fraction (leaves and stems with diameter 1 < cm), using biorefinery procedures. The main fraction is cooked with ethanol, giving rise to a pulp, which can be used either in paper or in bioethanol production if before pulping the main fraction is subjected to a hydrothermal treatment. Pulping with 70% ethanol concentration, 185 °C for 80 min resulted in a pulp with a yield of 46.30% and a content of holocellulose, α-cellulose, and lignin of 77.17%, 62.49%, and 21.73%, respectively. The paper sheets obtained had a breaking length of 1168 m, a burst index of 0.44 kN /g, a tear index of 2.25 mN.m2/g, and a brightness of 43.66%. The pulp converted into bioethanol (by simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation) achieved a conversion of 70 g bioethanol/100 g potential bioethanol. The residual fraction of olive tree prunings was subjected to combustion to produce thermal energy. The heating value was 18700 kJ/kg, the flame temperature range was 1094 to 2013 ºC, and the dew point temperature range of the flue gases was 47 to 53 °C.
Enzymatic digestibility of tomato, pepper, and eggplant stalks mixture
Authors: Çöpür Yalçın , Özyürek Ömer , Tozluoglu Ayhan , Kütük Selva
Published: June 2023

Turkey annually produces 26 million tons of vegetables and is the third-biggest vegetable producer. After harvest, the waste of vegetable stalks lacking of economic value is burnt or left in the fields, causing environmental pollution. The aim of this study was to examine bioethanol production of a mixture of tomato, pepper, and eggplant stalks using an alternative chemical, sodium borohydrate (NaBH4) in a chemical pretreatment step. Both steam-exploded (SE) and dry-milled (DM) stalks were chemically pretreated and enzymatically hydrolyzed in this study. Results showed that SE stalks had better enzymatic digestibility compared to DM. NaOH treatment removed the highest amount of lignin (17.1%; SE, 2%, 90 min) but also glucose (21.5%; SE, 2%, 90 min) from the structure. On the other hand, NaBH4 removed the highest lignin in proportion to glucose for both SE and DM samples. Enzymatically hydrolyzed stalks gave the highest sugar yields of 30.1% (o.d.-dry matter) for the SE sample when it was pretreated with 2% NaOH for 30 min.
Alteration of biomass composition in response to changing substrate particle size and the consequences for enzymatic hydrolysis of corn bran
Authors: Agger Jane , Meyer Anne S.
Published: June 2023

Corn bran is a by-product from corn starch processing. This work examined the effects of changing substrate particle size on enzymatic hydrolysis of both raw and pretreated destarched corn bran. The biomass composition of the corn bran varied between particle size fractions: The largest particles ([1000;710]µm) were richer in cellulose and in (arabino) xylan with a relatively low degree of arabinofuranosyl substitutions, whereas the smaller particles ([250;150]µm) contained less cellulose, but arabinoxylan with higher arabinofuranosyl substitution (higher A:X ratio). Enzymatic hydrolysis yields improved with decreasing substrate particle size, particularly for the raw corn bran. The increased enzymatic yields obtained with decreasing substrate particle sizes were related to the increased substrate surface area but also to the biomass composition. Theoretical estimations of enzymatic reaction efficiency supported that biomass composition affected the enzymatic reaction yields and provided new insight into the impact of substrate particle size on enzymatic biomass hydrolysis.

Primero, a partir de los debates disciplinares sobre la experiencia sensorial y el caminar, articula la base teórica y metodológica para preguntarse por qué caminar con otra persona permitiría a quien investiga los/as investigadores/as aprender empáticamente sobre sus experiencias. En segundo lugar, en relación con el trabajo desarrollado en el campo de la Antropología Visual, discute cómo la incorporación del video en este método puede servir como catalizador para comprender etnográficamente las experiencias de otras personas y representarlas para una audiencia más amplia.
El Uso de Suelo y la Resolución Municipal de Ubicación para el control edilicio y actividades: El uso de instrumentos técnicos para el control urbanístico
Authors: Mejías Rodríguez Carlos José
Published: June 2023

Los usos de suelos y las resoluciones municipales de ubicación son dos instrumentos a cargo de las municipalidades cuyo destino es llevar a la práctica el control de la utilización del suelo en un cantón específico, permitiendo a través de su otorgamiento o denegación, el desarrollo de las actividades humanas. No obstante, en Costa Rica no existe una estandarización de criterios objetivos que sirvan de insumo a los técnicos municipales para resolver las gestiones presentadas por los administrados, por lo que se aborda en este trabajo el uso de instrumentos utilizados por otras instituciones en el cumplimiento de sus funciones y que sirven de parámetros objetivos para el otorgamiento de licencias, permisos y autorizaciones administrativas.

PENAS ALTERNATIVAS EN COSTA RICA Y LA REFORMA DEL ARTICULO 56 BIS DEL CODIGO PENAL
Authors: Ugarte Reyes Wagner
Published: June 2023

Se realiza una aproximación teórica a las penas alternativas, sus antecedentes, características y ejecución, en especial, el Servicio de Utilidad Pública, a partir de la reforma del artículo 56 bis del Código Penal, vigente desde marzo del 2018. Se analizan fuentes jurídicas, doctrinarias e investigaciones. Se puntualiza en la importancia de respaldar la transición hacia un modelo sancionatorio, que frente a delitos de mediana y baja gravedad, garantice la reinserción del infractor penal desde la comunidad y sin hacer uso de la cárcel.
PROPUESTA DE REFORMA AL ARTÍCULO 85 DE LA CONSTITUCIÓN POLÍTICA: UNA “OCURRENCIA” LEGISLATIVA QUE RESULTA(RÍA) INCONSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Chinchilla Madrigal Jeffry Antonio
Published: June 2023

El presente trabajo analiza si el proyecto de ley denominado: Adición de un párrafo final al artículo 85 de la Constitución Política de la República de Costa Rica, expediente legislativo 20852, resultaría inconstitucional o no en algo y por qué. Lo anterior, más allá de que, recientemente, el proyecto de ley fuera dictaminado negativamente en la respectiva Comisión Legislativa.

La propuesta de fondo del proyecto de ley se contrasta a la luz de ciertos atributos de la autonomía universitaria; particularmente, el financiero. Una alusión complementaria, y paralela al tema, se advierte, asimismo, en función del procedimiento de reforma empleado por los diputados proponentes.
Ciencias Neurojuridicas desde una Perspectiva Neo-contemporánea y Futurista
Authors: Ríos Alfredo Adán
Published: June 2023

El presente artículo se aboca conforme a una investigación teórica documental bajo una propuesta que pretende tener cimientos de rigurosidad ortodoxa científica realista debido a que no es una novela de ciencia ficción más bien es un marco realista de lo que acontece en el progreso neo contemporáneo a axiomas futuristas que se pueden apreciar como fenómenos retro futuristas en cuanto a la aplicabilidad de la ciencias de la “complejidad” como le llaman hoy en día para el progreso de las ciencias neurojuridicas a nivel internacional y nacional en cualquier entidad. Esto con la finalidad de ver los alcances ante un punto crítico ante sus infinitesimales axiomas que puede brindar los campos colaborativos de alta especialidad científica de los cuales son la neurofisica teórica cognitiva experimental en apoyo auxiliar a las neurociencias cognitiva computacional evolutiva y biofísicamente inspirada. Como primordial alcance está en recapitular los más grandes avances desde una perspectiva actual de los desarrollos que la comunidad científica quiere alcanzar para apoyar dichos campos teórico aplicativos de los cuales puede sustentarse esta aportación documental y a una propuesta teórica de cómo estos avances pueden llegar a su punto crítico de evolución a su axioma ultimo de desarrollo. Las disciplinas a investigar de relevancia y de importancia son:

Física teórica en base a la neurofisica de la cognición humana.

Neurociencia cognitiva computacional

Ciencias cognitivas

Neuroderecho y ciencia aplicada.

La prioridad de esta obra es que la comunidad científica que ejerce a niveles profesionales en el ámbito de las ciencias neurojuridicas esté abierto a nuevos retos como cambios aplicativos a esta ciencia de cambio y orden social. Por lo tanto, a la vez que la ciencia y la tecnología van evolucionado, así como la conciencia a la mente humana los cambios sin duda superan a las de la ciencia ficción ya que se trata de un marco de referencia de la realidad objetiva. Por último, se tiene la encomienda científica de solo realizar una aportación objetiva de los acontecimientos actuales y probabilidades que pueden surgir al transcurso del tiempo en materia de la ciencia neurojuridica a nivel mundial.
Effectiveness of Monte Carlo Simulations of the S&P 500 Index before and after the Outbreak of the SARS-COV-2 Pandemic
Authors: Nawrocki Piotr
Published: June 2023

Risk analysis is an integral part of studying the behavior of financial markets. Crises and emergencies challenge analysts trying to predict the value of stock indices by questioning their assumptions. One such event was the coronavirus pandemic, which undoubtedly affected our economy. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the US market and to assess the change in effectiveness of the Monte Carlo method due to the pandemic. The study was realized with 12 MC simulations of daily S&P 500 index prices using historical data from 11.03.2015 to 11.03.2021. The negative impact of the pandemic on the accuracy of MC simulations was observed, lowering the confidence of the results. Changes in sensitivity depending on the chosen time period were also detected. The results may prompt consideration of modifying MC simulations during instability and provide information indicating the use of shorter time series to improve simulation efficiency during crises.

Authors: Suhendar Agus , Effendy Effendy
Published: June 2023

Objective: To present a unique case involving a 44-year-old man who sustained a penetrating head injury after nailing his head with a hammer. Despite the severity of his injury, the patient underwent successful surgical treatment and experienced a good recovery.Methods: Clinical and imagery review  was performed on a cranial puncture trauma caused by a metal nail, which penetrated the cranium, dura mater, right parietal cerebral parenchyma, and right ventricle. The nail was lodging next to midline without damaging the superior sagittal sinus. The patient underwent craniotomy nail removal and debridement with normal saline and metronidazole antibiotics.Results: Craniotomy, careful nail extraction, wound debridement, and duraplasty remain the treatment standard for penetrating nail injury in the head. Patient in this case study did not exhibit any signs of neurologic deficit or infection.Conclusion: Proper diagnosis and treatment are required in patients with penetrating brain trauma, with head x-rays and CT scans help in evaluating vascular depth and damage. Craniotomy and debridement are the main treatments for this type of trauma.
Perbandingan Terapi Albumin dari Ekstrak Channa Micropeltes Dan Channa Striata Terhadap Peningkatan Kadar Albumin pada Pasien Hipoalbuminemia
Authors: Purwoko Purwoko , Putro Bambang Novianto , Kurniawan Prima Artya
Published: June 2023

Suplemen albumin yang selama ini sering digunakan adalah ekstrak ikan gabus (Channa striata). Ikan toman (channa micropeltes) diduga memiliki protein yang lebih tinggi dari pada ikan gabus. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan peningkatan kadar albumin dari ekstrak ikan toman dan ikan gabus dengan peningkatan kadar albumin darah pada pasien hipoalbuminemia. Penelitian ini dilakukan di ICU RSUD Dr. Muwardi Surakarta pada bulan November 2019–Januari 2020. Penelitian menggunakan uji klinis acak tersamar tunggal pada 30 pasien yang menjalani perawatan intensif dengan hipoalbuminemia yang telah memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan tidak termasuk eksklusi. Sampel dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, yaitu kelompok dengan pemberian albumin ekstrak ikan toman (A) dan kelompok pemberian albumin ekstrak ikan gabus (B). Kedua kelompok diberikan albumin dengan dosis 5 gram tiap 12 jam selama tiga hari berturut-turut. Dilakukan pencatatan kadar albumin darah sebelum perlakuan dan tiga hari berturut-turut sejak pemberian ekstrak albumin. Penelitian menunjukan hasil bahwa selisih perubahan kadar albumin hari ke 1-baseline kelompok A mengalami peningkatan rerata 0,17+0,12, sedangkan kelompok B 0,11+0,08 (p=0,163). Pada hari ke-2 baseline kelompok A mengalami peningkatan rerata 0,41+0,15, sedangkan kelompok B 0,39+0,21 (p=0,785); pada hari ke-3 baseline kelompok A mengalami peningkatan rerata 0,74+0,35, sedangkan kelompok B 0,55+0,23 (p=0,785). Simpulan, ekstrak ikan toman memberikan peningkatan albumin yang lebih baik dibanding dengan ikan gabus, meskipun tidak berbeda secara statistik.

Even with obvious deficiencies, large prompt-commanded multimodal models are proving to be flexible cognitive tools representing an unprecedented generality. But the directness, diversity, and degree of user interaction create a distinctive “human-centred generality” (HCG), rather than a fully autonomous one. HCG implies that —for a specific user— a system is only as general as it is effective for the user’s relevant tasks and their prevalent ways of prompting. A human-centred evaluation of general-purpose AI systems therefore needs to reflect the personal nature of interaction, tasks and cognition. We argue that the best way to understand these systems is as highly-coupled cognitive extenders, and to analyse the bidirectional cognitive adaptations between them and humans. In this paper, we give a formulation of HCG, as well as a high-level overview of the elements and trade-offs involved in the prompting process. We end the paper by outlining some essential research questions and suggestions for improving evaluation practices, which we envision as characteristic for the evaluation of general artificial intelligence in the future.

The Power of Patriarchy: Everett’s Work on the Dionysus Myth in Frenzy
Authors: Buschendorf Christa
Published: June 2023

This interpretation of Percival Everett's novel Frenzy focuses on the author's rewriting of the myth of Dionysus and other Greek myths referenced in the text, as it is through the revisions of classical versions of the myths that Everett expresses his social criticism. In order to understand the character of the main protagonist Dionysos, the article also discusses Everett's appropriation of The Bacchae by Euripides, in particular of the English translation by C.K. Williams as well as the author's drawing on the Nietzschean concepts of the Dionysian and the Apollonian. Finally, the analysis of major literary devices (narrative structure, first-person narrator, leitmotif of seeing, elements of humor) reveals various strategies Everett uses to incline readers to grapple with the severe critique of patriarchy and capitalism he offers.
