Forests and woodlands are critical carbon stores, and methods for quantifying forest aboveground biomass (AGB) are increasingly relied upon for determining sequestered CO2 traded in carbon markets. AGB is traditionally measured using allometric models, yet terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is emerging as a highly accurate remote sensing alternative. However, internal tree stem damage from biotic decay is an unresolved source of error for both TLS and allometries, with implications for accurate carbon assessment.We destructively harvested 63 TLS-scanned trees in an Australian savanna to understand the impact of internal damage on AGB estimation at individual tree- and plot-levels. We tested the performance of TLS versus five allometries in measuring AGB, applying both database and field-measured wood specific gravity. We recorded how internal damage changed throughout the tree and tested if tree size and internal stem damage amount contributed to AGB under or over predictions. We asked four questions: 1) How accurately does TLS measure AGB in comparison to allometries at both tree- and plot-levels? 2) Does applying field-measured or database wood specific gravity values affect TLS and allometry AGB estimate accuracy? 3) How does internal stem damage vary throughout trees? 4) Does tree size or amount of internal stem damage predict AGB overestimation?TLS provided closest estimates to aggregated AGB at the plot-level. At the tree-level, all methods were strong at predicting field-measured AGB (R2>0.84), however we found TLS using field-measured wood specific gravity to be most accurate (R2=0.99). Although allometric models were unaffected by internal damage, TLS tended to overpredict AGB of large, damaged trees. Roughly half of the trees in the study sustained 1-10% damage, which was most extensive at the base and main trunk, decreasing into the crown.Synthesis and applications: For plot-level forest carbon estimation where internal stem damage is low (<10%), we recommend TLS to accurately estimate AGB, as well as in situations where precision is required at the individual tree-level. When quantifying AGB using TLS in more damaged wooded ecosystems (>10%), internal stem damage should be quantified to avoid overestimation and maintain high standards of precision in carbon markets.
Research Progress of Abnormal DNA Methylation in the Development, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Authors: Zhen Ren Zhen , Ming Yu Ming , Xia Yi
Published: October 2023

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancy in men around the world. In recent years, studies have shown that the development of PCa is driven by epigenetic modifications to a great extent, mediated through abnormal DNA methylation. Aberrant methylation of DNA promoters leads to abnormal expression of genes that regulate the development and progression of PCa. In addition, the current diagnosis of PCa still relies on tissue invasiveness. Prostate biopsy is an invasive process whereas non-invasive liquid biopsy based measurement of abnormal DNA methylation is expected to become the future diagnostic method and may be established as a therapeutic target. This article reviews the progress on DNA methylation in the development, early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of PCa.

This community service activity is motivated by the Covid-19 pandemic which has been going on since March 2020, because it is important for the community, especially women who work as batik craftsmen, to maintain their health. There are still many community members and women in the batik community who have not complied with the health protocol. This could be because you are not used to it, so you feel uncomfortable. For this reason, the Master of Sociology Study Program, Department of Sociology, FISIP Universitas Airlangga took the initiative to carry out community service activities to empower women in the batik community in the health sector in Kerek District, Tuban Regency, East Java. This service activity was attended by 50 women from the Bati community in Kerek District and took place in Gaji Village. To avoid crowds, the activity was carried out in two sessions and each session was attended by 25 people. Activities are carried out using mixed methods, namely online and offline. Participants attend and take part in activities in Gaji Village while the material is provided online. The material provided is knowledge about the coronavirus, prevention, and transmission of Covid-19, and the role of the family in dealing with family members when someone is sick. The results of the community service show that the knowledge of the service participants experienced a delay after the community service activities were carried out. This is shown from the results of the pre-test and post-test conducted during the activity.

Вважається, що Збройні Сили України успішно запровадили військовий процес прийняття рішень (ВППР) під час підготовки у вищих військових начальних закладах та у військових частинах під час відновлення боєздатності. Простий підрахунок сторінок, відведених на етапи ВППР, показує, що доктрина ЗС України містить стільки ж аркушів, як і аналог СВ США. Однак результати опитування свідчать про незадоволеність офіцерів наявними документами. Це зумовило розроблення підходу, який уможливить точніше оцінювання повноти інформації доктрин ВППР ЗСУ порівняно із СВ США. Запропонований підхід дав змогу порівняти обсяги інформації доктрин.

За результатами вимірювання встановлено, що порівняно із СВ США в національних доктринах недостатньо інформації для ефективного використання ВППР. Визначено конкретний перелік процесів і процедур ВППР, інформації щодо яких не вистачає. Відсутність зазначеної інформації знижує ефективність використання ВППР у ЗС України, що підкреслює актуальність дослідження і потребу переопрацювання відповідних доктрин.

Published: October 2023

Islam merupakan agama bagi persekutuan di Malaysia. Penetapan ini menjadikan perintah-perintah Islam dapat dilaksanakan di Malaysia, termasuklah perintah amar makruf nahi mungkar. Perintah ini dilaksanakan melalui institusi hisbah yang bertindak sebagai pihak berkuasa. Namun begitu, masih terdapat kemungkaran yang perlu dikawal agar tidak menular dalam kalangan masyarakat. Antara kemungkaran yang menjadi perhatian ialah kemungkaran akidah. Kemungkaran jenis ini mampu menggugat pegangan akidah Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‘ah (ASWJ) di Malaysia. Institusi hisbah telah mengambil beberapa inisiatif bagi membendung kemungkaran jenis ini. Justeru itu, kajian ini dilakukan bagi menghuraikan kemungkaran akidah di Malaysia serta menjelaskan peranan institusi hisbah dalam menangani kemungkaran akidah di Malaysia seperti ajaran sesat, pemikiran menyeleweng dan murtad. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah dokumentasi untuk pengumpulan data dan kaedah analisis kandungan untuk analisis data. Hasil kajian ini mendapati bahawa tindakan yang dilakukan oleh institusi hisbah ialah melakukan kajian, memberi penerangan, mengeluarkan fatwa, menapis maklumat untuk masyarakat serta memantau kemungkaran akidah. Usaha dan tindakan institusi hisbah ini menjadikan kemungkaran akidah yang berlaku di Malaysia dapat dikawal dengan baik dan akidah ASWJ dapat dipegang dengan teguh oleh umat Islam di Malaysia.
Islam is the religion of the constitution in Malaysia. This stipulation makes Islamic orders to be implemented in Malaysia, including the order of commanding right forbidding wrong. It is enforced through hisbah institutions that act as authorities. However, the existence of never-ending deviations need to be controlled to prevent them from further spreading. One of the most concern is the aqidah deviation. This deviation could undermine the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‘ah (ASWJ) in Malaysia. Hisbah institutions have take several initiatives to curb aqidah deviation. Therefore, this study is carried out to explain the aqidah deviation in Malaysia and clarify the role of hisbah institutions in dealing with the aqidah deviation in Malaysia such as religious cult, misappropriation thought, and apostasy. This study uses documentation method for data collection and content analysis method for data analysis. This study found that hisbah institutions actions are conducting research, providing information, issuing fatwa, filtering information for community and monitoring aqidah deviation. The efforts and actions of hisbah institutions make the aqidah deviation that occurs in Malaysia well controlled and Muslims in Malaysia can firmly hold the faith of ASWJ.

Authors: Mansur Fadlul Azim Fauzi , Mohamed Nurul Azmawati
Published: October 2023

Dengue fever is a significant public health problem in Asia, resulting in serious morbidity and even mortality. It is mainly known for causing severe constitutional symptoms and bleeding, often resulting in haemorrhagic shock. Dengue fever may manifest cutaneously in several forms. These include petechial rash, maculopapular rash and what has been termed as islands of white in a sea of red. Most can be attributed to capillary fragility, which led to tests such as the tourniquet test. This case highlights the dengue fever cutaneous presentation of islands of white in a sea of red in a multigravida woman during her first trimester. Her husband and son who was infected at the same time did not develop similar skin condition but developed the more common maculopapular and petechial rashes. The pathophysiology of such lesions is not well understood, and its relation to pregnancy is not known. Blood investigations were typical of dengue fever. The outcome of the patient’s pregnancy was also normal. This case highlights the need for doctors to look out for such lesions in dengue patients.
DBT Gene Mutation Among Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) In Malaysian Population
Authors: Che Soh Noor Azlin Azraini
Published: October 2023

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease and an inherited autosomal recessive trait. It is characterised by a deficiency of an enzyme complex, resulting in an excess of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are toxic to the nervous system. Our four cases generally presented with lethargy and poor feeding weeks after birth. They were all treated for sepsis until the laboratory results showed high levels of BCAAs, which indicated MSUD. Genetic analysis showed that the four cases were homozygous for the DBT gene mutation c.1196C>G (p.S399C), a possible founder mutation. All of our cases were managed accordingly, with regular monitoring of the BCAA levels. Dietary support, with infant formulas free of BCAAs, was provided to all four cases with regular follow-up at the paediatric genetic clinic. All cases had spastic diplegic and developmental delays.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: In classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), the delayed effects of therapies, such as second malignancies and toxicity, and the high relapse rate are potentially associated with an expense for the National Health Service (NHS).
Objective: The objective of the study was to estimate the impact of introducing the combination of brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris®), doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (A+AVD) for the first line (1L) treatment of stage III/IV cHL on costs associated with adverse events (AEs), pulmonary toxicity, second malignancies, end-of-life and second and subsequent lines (2L+) treatments.
Method: The incidence of the events analysed was derived from clinical trials and Italian reports. Unit costs were estimated based on the national tariffs and the Italian literature. The results were modelled and extrapolated to the population in two scenarios, a current one without A+AVD and a future one in which A+AVD is introduced. The time horizon was six years and the perspective is that of the Italian NHS.
Results: The introduction of A+AVD in 1L is associated with a reduction in the costs of AEs, pulmonary toxicity, second malignancies and end-of-life following 1L and in the acquisition costs of 2L+ treatments of approximately € 10,400/patient corresponding to a total saving of € 18.46 M over six years for the NHS; this saving grows as the use of A+AVD increases.
Conclusion: The introduction of A+AVD for the 1L treatment of stage III/IV cHL is associated with a reduction in costs for the NHS for the management of AEs, pulmonary toxicity, second malignancies, end-of-life and 2L+ treatments.

Published: October 2023

Several villages in South Sumatra do not yet have a way to develop and advance their economy by selling local products that they make themselves, one of which is Burai Village. These products consist of agricultural products, handicrafts, special foods and typical clothing from the village. So far, the products they make are only sold and bought by people close to the village, both people from within the village and from outside the village. That way the income of village product sellers is not that big because the products they sell don't have a place to promote their products so that they can be known by many people and can be disseminated. To promote these village products, the author will make a Village Product catalog on the Sistem Desa Pintar (SIDESPIN) website, using the Web Engineering method and the Laravel framework to make it easier to develop the village product catalog features. With this research a village product catalog will be produced on the SIDESPIN website such as e-commerce which will be used to promote the village's products so that they can be known more widely.

Studies on China's Economic Development since the Reform and Opening Up : A Literature Review
Authors: Cai Jing
Published: October 2023

Since the promulgation of China's reform and opening-up sub-policy, China has created a socialist economic development path with Chinese characteristics in terms of economic development. During this period, China has experienced rapid economic growth, and deep-seated conflicts have come to the fore simultaneously. Therefore, China must transform its economic development to gain more growth opportunities. And in this paper, the author uses the literature review method to review the articles (international and domestic academic journals) related to China's economic development from 1949 to 2023, describe the current economic development in China, and analyze the opportunities and challenges that China faces in terms of economic development. The Chinese government focuses on innovation-driven development of science and technology, intending to achieve high-quality development of the Chinese economy rather than just rapid economic growth. Therefore, the author believes that the future direction of China's economic development will favor using government macroeconomic policy regulation to promote the digital economy's development vigorously. In addition, the government authorities will also pay more attention to sustainable development.
Would It be Possible for a SARS-CoV-2 Infection to Affect the Male Reproductive System?
Authors: Rahimi Kaveh , Ebrahimifar Akram , Rahimi Mehri
Published: October 2023

The male reproductive system may be affected by the systemic infections of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The precise mechanisms of male reproductive impairment are not well known. There are two possible mechanisms for the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on the male reproductive system either directly through the impact of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on testicular tissue or indirectly through the effect of the secondary autoimmune response on testicular functions. The second mechanism is more likely. Extensive studies need to be conducted on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the functional characteristics of sperm and the results of natural fertilization or assisted reproductive technology.

Det börjar nu bli möjligt att se bakåt på en tid präglad av en pandemi som drabbade den äldre befolkningen särskilt hårt. Coronakommissionens delbetänkande Äldreomsorgen under pandemin (SOU 2020:80) visade med tydlighet på de strukturella bristerna. Per Gunnar Edebalk har skrivit boken Äldreomsorgen: en aktuell historia (2022a) och dess ämne ter sig alltså särskilt angeläget. Det saknas inte forskning om äldreomsorgens historia (se t.ex. Trydegård & Thorslund 2010, Trydegård 2013, Brodin 2005; Blomqvist & Winblad 2019). En hel del av den forskningen står Edebalk själv för (se t.ex. Edebalk 1991, 2016). Som Edebalk skriver så har det saknats en sammanhållen historik över den moderna äldreomsorgens historia. Det som står i fokus för Edebalks historieskrivning är den offentligt organiserade äldreomsorgen som tar sin början med 1918 års fattigvårdsförordning och avslutas med beslutet om biståndsbedömt trygghetsboende som trädde i kraft 2019. Som avslutning diskuterar Edebalk möjliga vägar framåt för äldreomsorgen.

Institutionsvård för barn och ungdomar (kollektiv vård och behandling dygnet runt) är en ofta ifrågasatt insats. Att föra samman barn med stora behov är förenat med risker och det finns ont om forskningsstudier som tydligt kan visa institutionsvårdens nytta för barns utveckling. Vårdformen präglas återkommande av skandaler och i Sverige rapporterades nyligen om våld och övergrepp vid Statens Institutionsstyrelses (SiS) särskilda ungdomshem. EU (Europeiska unionen) förordar “avinstitutionalisering” som överordnat mål och många länder, inklusive Sverige, prioriterar vård i familjehem framför institutioner. Samtidigt har institutionsvård en befäst position inom samhällsvård världen över. I Sverige är omkring vart fjärde barn i samhällsvård placerad vid ett HVB- eller SiS-hem. Svensk institutionsvård (SiS-hemmen undantagna) utförs på en löst sammanhållen marknad där vårdutbudet till stor del bestäms av privata aktörer.
I antologin Revitalizing residential care for children and youth. Cross-national trends and challenges (Oxford University Press, 2023) diskuteras institutionsvård i sexton västländer (inklusive Argentina). Boken gör nedslag i så skilda länder som USA, Spanien, Israel, Finland och Tyskland (dessvärre ingår inte Sverige i antologin). Syftet med boken är att ge en bild av hur institutionsvård används i olika länder, men även att identifiera framgångsrika praktiker.

"Performance as embodied thinking": Interviewing Marilyn Arsem
Authors: Tomass Izis
Published: October 2023

Marilyn Arsem, performance artist and former professor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA), talks about her experiences and learnings in more than forty years of practicing and teaching performance, both institutionally and in workshops throughout the world. By following her thoughts, it is possible to understand a little more about Arsem’s creational and creative processes which, in our understanding, depart more from a genuine impetus of investigating and experimenting with reality and in the present moment’s tessitura than from creating performances whose developments and objectives are somehow already conceived.
PERFORMANCE ARTE: PRÁTICAS SIMULTÂNEAS, COLETIVAS E COLABORATIVAS
Authors: Amato Eduardo Cardoso , Silva Amábilis de Jesus
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo busca traçar uma breve panorâmica de alguns encontros de artistas da performance arte e os modos de existência nas práticas simultâneas, coletivas e colaborativas. Tendo por recorte alguns encontros que de certa forma estão conectados entre si, procuramos salientar os pressupostos adotados, as estratégias de aproximação, periodicidade e as dinâmicas, desde open source performances, open sessions, gatherings, group performances etc. Em certos momentos a cronologia torna-se importante, sobretudo, porque vários dos encontros serviram como inspiração, ou até suporte, para novas iniciativas. Há ainda encontros que interligam os demais, gerando uma espécie de ponto central. Na segunda parte, um dos autores traz o relato de sua participação em alguns dos eventos com o objetivo de exemplificar as formas de articulações e de negociações no âmbito artístico. Ou seja, como as estruturas propiciam metodologias que, mesmo permitindo a individualidade, são voltadas para a coletividade. Também apresentamos, minimamente, as bibliografias indicadas nos sites ou nos programas dos eventos.
MOVIMENTOS DE ACOPLAMENTO CORPO-SOLO NA POÉTICA DE ARTISTAS LATINO-AMERICANES
Authors: Marques Duarte Sarah
Published: October 2023

O escrito dedica-se à observação de proposições artísticas que trabalham  movimentos de aproximação corpo-terra. Tendo como interesse central práticas realizadas por artistas latino-americanes, o artigo objetiva investigar e relacionar ações que apostam em exercícios de acoplamento corpo-solo, entendendo-as como gestos de resistência ao silenciamento, anestesiamento, distanciamento e à espetacularização da vida própria ao projeto moderno/colonial capitalístico em sua versão contemporânea. Ações de escavação para a abertura de portais sensíveis, revolvendo a terra para escutar com as mãos, abrindo o corpo para ser canal. Artistas que criam alianças corpo-mundo, frestas para a emergência de sensibilidades outras, para escutas outras, vozes outras. Ações como de Ana Mendieta, Tania Bruguera, Seba Calfuqueo, Rodrigo Braga, Natália Lobo Tupinambá, Tieta Macau, entre outres, que investem em experiências de contato com o mundo como vivo, vibrando a experiência das forças do mundo em seus corpos como via de denúncia, mas também de anúncio, de configurações outras de vida sobre uma terra ferida. O trabalho articula descrições e análises de propostas com reflexões desenvolvidas pelos artistas em diálogo com ideias de autores como Maria Lugones, Fernanda Eugénio, Suely Rolnik, Ailton Krenak, Peter Pál Pelbart, entre outres.
CLINT EASTWOOD ATOR E DIRETOR
Authors: Baptista y Vedia Sarubbo Mauro Alejandro
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a obra de Clint Eastwood como diretor e como ator, utilizando os conceitos de clássico e pós-clássico, segundo definições de David Bordwel, Kristin Thompson e Janet Staiger, e a teoria do Gesto Psicológico da escola de interpretação teatral do russo Michael Checkhov. Para pensar o Eastwood como diretor e ator, os conceitos de pós-clássico e do Gesto Psicológico, e de estudaremos sequências de abertura dos filmes Play Misty for Me (1971), primeira obra dele como diretor e de O fora da ley Josey Wales (The Outlaw Josey Wales,1976). Fundamentamos o critério da análise das cenas de abertura como reveladoras e significativas para analisar o estilo de um cineasta, na obra seminal de Jacques Aumont e Michel Marie Análise de filme (2010).
PERFORMANCE COMO RISCO, PERVERSÃO E TRANSGRESSÃO
Authors: Bogéa Anderson
Published: October 2023

Maikon K atua em um não-lugar movediço, em constante negociação com os códigos de linguagem e categorias de mercado. Insiste na presença analógica do corpo e no encontro ao vivo. O foco de seu trabalho é o corpo e sua capacidade de alterar percepções. Cada uma de suas criações quer agir no sistema nervoso do público como uma substância lisérgica específica. Deixar a audiência high, stoned, chapada, revirada, visões, peias e revelações. Tocar o inominável de assustadora beleza. Perverter a razão. Para isso se utiliza de sons, palavras, movimento, imagens e atividades ritualizadas. Assim, como resultado das investigações elaboradas no Núcleo de Filosofia do Corpo e do Movimento – PHICOMOV, esta entrevista com o performer Maikon K figura como uma tentativa de mapeamento de perspectivas plurais entre artistas que têm o corpo e o movimento entre seus principais repertórios. A conversa com o artista buscou de maneira mais ampla perceber seu entendimento sobre os tópicos sensíveis à pesquisa do núcleo investigativo em questão, além de tentar modular o diálogo de acordo com a especificidade do seu trabalho artístico e investigativo.

Authors: Kumcu Busra Aybike , Ozdemir Ali , Eryilmaz Müzeyyen , Telatar Berrin
Published: October 2023

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the awareness of diabetic patients about the hepatitis B vaccine, hepatitis B vaccination rates, and the effect of our recommendations on vaccination status.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in 627 adult diabetic patients who were admitted to our diabetes outpatient clinic between October 2019 and December 2019. We prepared the hepatitis B vaccine awareness questionnaire, consisting of 14 items, and administered it to the patients through face-to-face interviews.

Results: The study included 627 diabetic patients (59.8% female, mean age=58.9±9.5). Only 9.3% (n=58) of the patients were previously vaccinated against hepatitis B and 90.7% (n=569) were not. There was a significant difference between the education level and hepatitis B vaccination status of the patients (p<0.001). The most common reason with 94.7% (n=539) for not being vaccinated was the lack of information that diabetics should be vaccinated against hepatitis B. After the patients were informed, the hepatitis B vaccination rates increased from 9.3% to 68.1% at the end of the study.

Conclusion: The hepatitis B vaccination rates were found to be quite low in diabetic patients, yet increased seriously after the patients were informed. This result revealed that informing patients and increasing their awareness can positively affect vaccination rates.

Authors: Turker Selma , Seyis Ezgi Caglar , Ozkoc Merve Nur Serce , Bektas Furkan , Karakullukcu Serdar , Ardic Cuneyt
Published: October 2023

Aim: This study aims to investigate the frequency and causes of anemia in geriatric patients registered in the Home Health Services Unit of our hospital and to apply appropriate treatment regimens according to the etiology.

Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between 15.03.2022 and 15.03.2023. The files of 282 patients who received service from the Home Health Services Unit between August 1, 2020 and November 30, 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Geriatric patients who had laboratory tests requested in the last 6 months were included. Socio-demographic data of the patients, chronic diseases, and the number of chronic diseases were recorded. The World Health Organization criteria were considered for the diagnosis of anemia. The causes are grouped as anemia due to iron deficiency, chronic renal failure, vitamin B12 deficiency, folic acid deficiency, and other anemias.

Results: A total of 282 individuals, 198 (70.2%) women, were included in the study. The mean age of the participants is 79.2±11.06 years, 218 (77.3%) of them live in rural areas. 33.7% of the patients have 3 chronic diseases. Anemia was detected in 176 (62.4%) patients. 44.9% of the participants had anemia due to chronic renal failure, 28.4% had anemia due to iron deficiency, 13.1% had anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency, 13.1% had anemia due to folate deficiency, and 26.1% had unclassified anemia. The presence of anemia was significantly higher in patients with a diagnosis of malignancy and in participants with 4 or more chronic diseases.

Conclusion: This study shows that anemia is a common health problem in geriatric patients receiving home health care. In this population, effective management of the process by detecting anemia in individuals screened with regular visits as a result of continuous care in home health care, conducting research on the etiology, and controlling comorbidities may be important steps to improve the patient's quality of life. We recommend that physicians dealing with geriatric patients keep in mind the importance of detecting and managing anemia in their patients and organize their routine examinations in this perspective.
