Published: May 2023

The understanding of sin that leads to death and sin that does not lead to death in 1 John. 5:16, 17 is still a topic of debate among Bible scholars. Various opinions, both based on theological interpretations and biblical studies, have emerged to find out the definitions of these two types of sins. Further discussion to understand this verse is needed to gain more thorough understanding. By using several aspects of the exegesis method, the author tries to find out the meaning of sin that leads to death and sin that does not lead to death. The emphasis of this study is on the analysis of sin in the book of 1 John specifically in 2:1 and 3:8 and then compares it with the contents of 5:16, 17. The results of the discussion prove that a sin that leads to death is a condition in which a person commits a sin but does not come by faith in Jesus who is the Mediator and in a situation where a person knowingly commits a sin or acts in violation of God's law continuously. These two conditions will lead to death. while sin that does not bring death is a condition in which a believer who, in his life's journey, could have committed a sin but then came and confessed it before God. That person will get forgiveness from Allah and he will not experience eternal death.

Technological development, apart from having a positive impact, also has a negative impact. One of the crimes caused by the development and progress of information technology is a crime related to internet applications, which is often referred to as cybercrime. This category of crimes includes all types of crimes as well as their modus operandi, which are carried out by utilizing internet facilities and as a negative effect of using internet applications. The characteristics of cybercrime crimes that do not recognize national territorial boundaries make these crimes inseparable from the role of the Secretariat of the National Central Bureau (NCB)—Interpol Indonesia. NCB-Interpol Indonesia has an important role in conveying information about cyber crimes committed by foreign or Indonesian citizens, obtained from NCBs of other countries, to the competent authorities. The goals and tasks of ICPO-Interpol will be achieved when NCB-Interpol Indonesia participates in fighting cybercrime because they fulfill international obligations regulated by laws and international conventions that apply in Indonesia. Obstacles that arise in tackling cybercrime crimes are related to national borders and jurisdictions, differences in national law making it difficult to determine which law to apply, extradition treaties, and the process of identifying cybercrime perpetrators

Objetivo: Analisar os fatores intervenientes no tempo de internação hospitalar de pacientes com COVID-19 internados em unidade de terapia intensiva. Método: Estudo transversal, de abordagem quantitativa, realizado com 119 pacientes internados em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva COVID-19 de um hospital público do nordeste brasileiro. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos e clínicos e sua associação com o tempo de internação hospitalar foi testada pelo qui-quadrado de Pearson (p<0,05). A força dessa associação foi testada pela razão de chance, sendo a regressão logística (método backward) utilizada para ajuste do modelo. Resultados: A maioria (92,4%) dos participantes eram considerados do grupo de risco para a doença, sendo a Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (38,7%) e o Diabetes Mellitus (36,1%) as comorbidades mais prevalentes. Dos 119 pacientes internados, 75 (63%) permaneceram por até 10 dias. No modelo final da regressão, os pacientes do sexo masculino (p<0,001), em uso de cloroquina (p=0,013) e intubados (na admissão) permaneceram internados por tempo superior a 10 dias. Conclusões: No estudo, evidenciou-se, que o tempo de permanência hospitalar foi influenciado pelas variáveis sexo, tipo de tratamento utilizado e suporte de oxigenoterapia. Alguns pacientes, que já apresentavam comorbidades prévias, evoluíram para quadros graves da doença. No entanto, outros, conseguiram evoluir para cura. Conhecer esses fatores permite o aperfeiçoamento e a adequação das práticas assistenciais prestadas a esses pacientes, em especial nas estratégias que possam melhorar a qualidade do serviço e reduzir o tempo de internação.
Influence of the receptor apparatus of the mammary gland on the content of estrogens during the lactation process in rats
Authors: Panova N.
Published: May 2023

Purpose: To study the mechanisms of reducing the concentration of estrogens in the mammary gland.

Materials and methods. In the experiment, breast preparations obtained from lactating rats were used. Estradiol receptors were detected using autoradiographic study and biochemical method in the cytosolic fraction. The specificity of estradiol binding was determined as the difference between the total binding during incubation in a medium containing 10-9 M ³H-17 β estradiol and binding during incubation in a medium containing, in addition to the labeled hormone, a 100-fold excess of unlabeled estradiol. During the washing process, structures with significant affinity for the hormone were revealed.

Results. As a result of the study, the reception of estradiol by the cells of the alveolar part of the mammary gland during lactation was established. In the alveoli of the mammary gland, there is an intense binding of labeled estradiol by glandular cells and leukocytes. At high values of specific binding of estradiol, intensely labeled cells are located in the form of a close cluster. An indicator of the membrane binding of estradiol is the numerous silver granules accumulating over the cell border.

Conclusion. The study made it possible to analyze the reception of estradiol in hormone-dependent tissue (mammary gland). Leukocyte cells have estrogen receptors, which reduce the level of the hormone as a result of lactation. In the mammary gland, there is a mechanism for reducing the concentration of estrogens. The ability of leukocyte receptor binding allows us to speak about the role of milk and colostrum cells in reducing the level of estrogens, which is one of the important factors in reducing the development of pathological processes in breast tissues.

Materials and methods. The object of research was not there was a golstinized Black-and-white, Simmental, Aberdin-Anguskaya and crossbreeds (golstinized Black-and-white x Simmental) in each group in each group. Explust animals were grown in the same conditions. During all periods of experience, Kalles took blood samples until morning feeding. In blood samples, the level of insulin was determined by the immunofortment method. The level of feeding of the heels corresponded to the zootechnical norms.

Results. Before insemination, the level of insulin in black-and-chilled heifers was 11.0 ± 0.5, in the Simmental-12.1 ± 0.6, in Aberdin-Angus-12.8 ± 0.6, in the combed-13.1 ± 0 , 7 μma/ml. In the future, with an increase in the duration of animals, the concentration of this hormone in the blood increased and by the 5th month the concentration of insulin was noted as the maximum for the entire period. In black-and-playing, in this period, the level of insulin increased to 12.3 ± 0.6, in the Simmental to 13.0 ± 0.8, in the Aberdine-Anguski to 14.1 ± 0.7, in Monnie, up to 14, 4 ± 0.7 μm/ml. By the end, the level of insulin in the blood of the miles was significantly reduced in black-and-playing noles by 9 months of age, it was 10.2 ± 0.6, in the Simmental-10.5 ± 0.7, in the Aberdine-Angus-11.4 ± 0. , 7, in the Knieut - 12.6 ± 0.7 mkm/ml.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: the study of biochemical and morphological indicators of the blood of dogs of small breeds with obesity depending on age, breed and weight.

Materials and methods. The analysis of biochemical and morphological indicators of blood 21 dogs of small breeds in the summer-autumn period was analyzed. The age distribution was from 3 to 13 years. In the blood serum, the level of total protein, albumin, globulin, urea, creatinine, total calcium, phosphorus, the activity of aspartateataminostrostrostrase (asat), alanineine -orgrase (alat), alkaline phosphatase were determined. In stabilized blood, indicators of hematocrit, hemoglobin, the number of red blood cells, leukocytes and platelets were determined. The determination of blood indicators was carried out according to generally accepted methods.

Results. Higher indicators of the activity of asat enzymes and alkaline phosphatase in the absence of a significant increase in the activity of Alat, the activity of which will increase primarily with the liver damage, were identified. When evaluating red blood indicators, the most visual change was a decrease in the level of hemoglobin and hematocrit, both with the course of age and with an increase in body weight. This may indicate inhibition of hematopoietic function in animals with increased fat mass of the body, possibly due to chronic prolonged inflammation as a result of the release of inflammatory adipokins with fat tissue. The chronic damaging effect of the presumably adipokins of adipose tissue, expressed in the non -specific increase in the activity of blood serum enzymes, anemia of chronic inflammation and moderate leukocytosis in the absence of obvious clinical signs. All of these factors have a negative impact on the work of all organs and systems, including reproductive, as well as significantly reduce the quality and life expectancy of dogs.

Authors: Maksimov V. , Ivantsova O. , Deltsov A. , Frenk A.
Published: May 2023

Purpose: to study the effect of complex additives based on a protein hydrolyzate together with an iron-containing preparation on the metabolism of pregnant goats of the Saanen breed of the first lactation in the most stressful functional states of the body in the life of a female (the last stage of pregnancy and the postpartum period) according to the physiological, biochemical and hormonal status of the blood of animals, grown in an industrial complex.

Materials and methods. Experimental studies were carried out on Saanen goats from the moment of 110 days (days) of their pregnancy upon reaching 30 days. offspring obtained from the studied animals, in the conditions of an industrial complex. In the experiment, 24 pregnant Saanen goats (first pregnancy) were used, of which 8 goats were combined into a control group, and 16 into two experimental groups, divided equally. The content and feeding of goats and kids obtained from them was zootechnically determined. In addition to the diet, the experimental animals received a biological supplement based on a protein hydrolyzate, 40 ml/head/day. and an iron-containing preparation, 10 ml/animal/day. One experimental group received the preparation "Abiopeptid" + "Bio-iron with microelements", the other - "Abiotonic" + "Bio-iron with microelements". All dietary supplements were administered to animals orally through individual numbered syringes of 20 and 10 ml. Animals received dietary supplements continuously from 110 days of pregnancy until the resulting offspring reaches 30 days. (i.e. 70 days - 40 during gestation and 30 after delivery). To assess the state of control and experimental goats, blood was taken (at 150 days of gestation and after 30 days from birth), followed by biochemical and hormonal analysis.

Results. With regard to the use of bioadditives based on protein hydrolyzate in goats of the last stage of pregnancy and the beginning of the first lactation, in terms of the parameters of the physiological, biochemical and hormonal blood status, it should be noted that the beneficial properties of bioadditives aimed at enhancing the catabolic processes of the body will be effective only if the animals are provided with favorable micro- and macroclimatic parameters, in particular, a sufficient and complete diet. In case of violation of the conditions of detention, the effectiveness of biologically active substances will be provided at the expense of the body's own reserves. It should be noted the effectiveness of the iron-containing preparation "Bio-iron", used in feeding goats that are at the late stage of the pregnancy of the first pregnancy and during the milking period of the first lactation.

The influence of mesenchymal stem cells and its derivatives on the qualitative indicators of animal sperm before and after cryoponservation (review)
Authors: Semenova V. , Shushakova A. , Ivanovskaya M. , Korochkina E.
Published: May 2023

During sperm cryopxation, sperm damage occurs due to osmotic stress, which entails deviations into the DNA and deformation of the tail of a sperm. To minimize destructive changes in cells, antioxidants or cryoprotective media supplemented with nutrient components are used. Numerous studies have established that the use of mesenchymal stem cells and their secret increases the percentage of viable and mobile sperm. Also, many of the soluble secretory factors of mesenchymal stem cells can be in extracellular vesicles and act as mediators of many paracrine actions of mesenchymal stem cells. They play the role of vehicles to displace unwanted cellular proteins, but the data of different authors demonstrated their potential role in many biological processes, including contribution to cell regeneration, survival and change in the phenotype of reici cells. The attachment or internalization of microseusiculi in target cells causes a wide range of epigenetic and phenotypic changes in recipient cells, such as a change in the viability of recipient cells, their adhesive properties and sensitivity or resistance to certain environmental factors. Spermeatozoa using microseusicals can be considered as an effective biological approach to maintaining and improving the quality of sperm, in the future, it can improve their viability and progressive mobility after cryopenservation. The wide therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cells and biologically active substances secreted by them requires further research to include sperm freezing in the protocols in order to overcome existing restrictions related to their use, and to clarify the exact mechanisms of their action. Further experiments, in particular in vivo, are necessary to confirm the actual clinical effects of these chemicals on the fertilizing ability of a spermatozoa. Thus, in this review, the issue of conducted studies in the field of use of mesenchymal stem cells and the substances they secrete during cryoponservation of animal sperm was covered.

Examining outpatients’ hand hygiene behaviour and its relation to other infection prevention measures.
Authors: Gaube Susanne , Walton Kodwo , Kleine Anne-Kathrin , Däumling Sara , Rohrmeier Christian , Müller Steffen , Bonrath Esther , Schneider-Brachert Wulf
Published: May 2023

Background: The increasing demand for outpatient care is associated with a higher risk of infection transmission in these settings. However, there is limited research on infection prevention and control practices in ambulatory clinics, and none focuses on patients.Aim: Consequently, this study aims to examine outpatients’ hand hygiene behaviours, their determinants, and their associations with other infection prevention measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: We observed the hand hygiene behaviour of patients in one outpatient clinic and surveyed outpatients in five clinics about their hand hygiene practice in outpatient facilities. A questionnaire based on the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was used to examine predictors of the behaviour. Moreover, patients indicated their compliance with COVID-19 infection prevention measures, vaccination status, disease risk perception, and vaccine hesitancy.Findings: Observed hand hygiene rates among 618 patients were low (12.8%), while 67.3% of the 300 surveyed patients indicated sanitising their hands upon entering the clinic. The TDF domains memory, attention, and decision processes, and emotions significantly predicted both current (today’s) and general hand hygiene behaviour in outpatient clinics. Hand hygiene behaviour and compliance with COVID-19 infection prevention showed a positive association; however, no significant connection was found with patients’ vaccination status, suggesting different behavioural motivators.Conclusion: Hand hygiene among outpatients should be improved through interventions focusing on helping patients remember to clean their hands. More research on infection prevention in outpatient facilities is needed to ensure patient safety.

Relative Attention Across Features Predicts That Common Features Increase Geometric Similarity
Authors: Seitz Florian Ismael
Published: May 2023

The human mind relies on similarity to organize the world around it. A geometric approach to similarity, which assumes that two objects' similarity decreases with the sum of their feature value differences, has been particularly influential. Yet, geometric similarities are claimed to ignore common features, which is inconsistent with human similarity judgments that increase the more common features the objects share (the common features effect). This paper shows that a relative attention mechanism, as it is implemented in current cognitive models based on geometric similarities, can naturally predict the common features effect by weighting each feature value difference with the share of attention allocated to the feature. Additional common features draw away attention from the already present features, which entails that the objects' differences with respect to already present features receive less weight, resulting in a higher similarity. The ability of the geometric similarity theory with relative attention to predict the common features effect is illustrated for data from Gati and Tversky (1984) and for data from a new pairwise similarity judgment experiment.

Traditionally, researchers have proposed a uniformitarian view that all languages are roughly equally complex, via an internal trade-off between the complexity at different levels, such as morphology and syntax. The extent to which the societies where the speakers live influence the trade-off has not been well studied. In this paper, we focus on morphology and syntax, and report significant correlations between specific linguistic and societal features, in particular those relating to exoteric (open) vs. esoteric (close-knit) society types, characterizable in terms of population size, mobility, communication across distances, etc. We conducted an exhaustive quantitative analysis drawing upon WALS, D-Place, Ethnologue and Glottolog. Our results find some support for our hypothesis that languages spoken by exoteric societies tend towards more complex syntaxes, while languages spoken by esoteric societies tend towards more complex morphologies. Our hypothesis, as well as the interpretation of the results, are informed to some extent by the differential involvement of procedural vs. declarative memory types in the processing of syntax and morphology.

Behavioral observation is an important tool for research and practice in clinical, developmental, and social psychology. Traditional,expert-based methods for behavioral observation from videos are limited by the amount of time and resources it requires. Artificialintelligence tools are available that can automatically and reliably code specific emotions and behaviors. However, the generatedoutput is not specifically aligned to applications in psychology. We present methods for automating behavioral coding using opensource software and provide an overview of available sources and instructions on how they can be applied to generate codes fromwidely used behavioral coding manuals. Using two examples, we describe methods for applying open source computer visionand hearing tools to code behavior in two settings: a parent-child interaction and a psychotherapeutic exposure session. We use amodular approach, defining specific behaviors with features extracted with computer vision and hearing tools that can be combinedinto higher order constructs. Modules can be combined in different ways to allow a flexible application to a variety of codingmanuals or observational tasks. In addition, we propose ways of testing the validity of the automated codes. Some modalities arebetter suited than others for specific tasks. For example, the performance of computer vision tools is excellent for detecting emotion,whereas speech signal processing is less sensitive to detecting specific emotions. However, speech is better suited for detectingvocalization than computer vision. Issues of privacy and bias are discussed as well as methods for mitigating these risks. Weidentified behaviors that can be computationally coded. Our proposed automated methods will enable researchers to code more oftheir video and audio data than is possible with human coding for meaningful behavioral information and investigate mechanisms atplay in social interactions. Some of these methods can be directly applied by psychologists whereas others necessitate collaborationwith computer scientists.
Alcohol and Morality: One Alcoholic Drink is Enough to Make People Declare to Harm Others and Behave Impurely

We aimed to understand if alcohol intoxication affects the willingness to violate moral foundations (care, fairness, authority, loyalty, and purity). We conducted a laboratory study (N = 387) with three randomized groups: alcohol intoxication, placebo, and control, measuring the sacralization of moral foundations via the Moral Foundations Sacredness Scale. The study showed intoxicated participants sacralized moral foundations of care and purity more often than participants from control and placebo groups. It means participants declared more willing to physically harm other people and animals and behave impurely, e.g., doing deviant sexual behaviors or selling their souls. No differences related to fairness, authority, and loyalty were found. Our study helps to understand the decision processes underlying immoral behaviors, including crimes. We showed that even one drink makes people change their judgments about what is right and wrong (in the cases of harmful and impure behaviors), and because this kind of judgment precedes immoral behaviors, our results may help explain why some people under the influence of alcohol break the rules by doing things which they would never do when sober.
Patient and therapist experiences of exposure therapy in pregnancy: a qualitative analysis of the ADEPT feasibility trial of intensive and weekly CBT

Objectives: To understand patient and therapist experiences of time-intensive and weekly exposure-based therapy for anxiety disorders delivered during pregnancy.Design: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with patients and therapists who had taken part in a feasibility trial of predominantly online time-intensive versus weekly CBT in pregnancy. Setting UK therapists and patients in a primary care setting Participants In-depth interviews were conducted with 45 women who had participated in the trial and 6 therapists who had delivered the treatments. Analysis: Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: Five themes were developed from the data that showed convergence from therapist and patient perspectives. These were: ‘Acquiring tools to navigate the perinatal period’; ‘Motivated yet constrained by pregnancy’; ‘Having the confidence to face fears and tolerate uncertainty’; ‘Momentum with the need for flexibility’; ‘Being isolated from the face-to-face world’.Conclusions: Exposure therapy is acceptable and helpful in pregnancy and can lead to lasting gains. Exposure is a key element of treatment and needs to be confidently conducted by therapists with perinatal knowledge and expertise. Treatments need to consider the unfolding context of pregnancy. The momentum of intensive therapy can lead to rapid improvements, but can be demanding for both patients and therapists, especially fitting round other commitments. Online treatments can work well and are a good fit for perinatal women, but this needs to be balanced with the need for connection, suggesting a hybrid model of delivery is the ideal.
PERSPECTIVES ON TAIWANESE HISTORY BASED ON IDENTITY AND CULTURE
Authors: Hsu Erik
Published: May 2023

In my experiment, I looked to dive deeper into how different cultural backgrounds, specifically Taiwanese and Taiwanese American, affected perceptions of history. I sought to answer this question: “How do perceptions of the political developments in Taiwan from 1949 to 1987 differ between Taiwanese and Taiwanese Americans?” I utilized narrative research by conducting interviews with both Taiwanese and Taiwanese Americans. I employed open-ended questions about how the respondent’s education, family, and experiences growing up affected their views on Taiwanese history and political identities. By noticing patterns in the in-depth answers provided by the respondents, I pieced together overarching trends or topics that are discussed to discover how cultural backgrounds can affect people’s views on Taiwanese history.
BEFORE BRAIN DRAIN: ITALIAN ECONOMISTS ON THE CALCULUS OF THE VALUE OF MEN
Authors: Sunna Claudia , Ricciardo Traci M.
Published: May 2023

This study deals with the debate which took place among Italian economists and statisticians at the turn of the 20th century on the economic effects of mass emigration. In particular, it is focused on a controversy between Vilfredo Pareto, Alberto Beneduce on the one side, and Francesco Coletti on the other. It analyzes the way these scholars struggled with: (i) the problem of properly elaborating a specific cost-benefit analysis referred to emigration and (ii), as a consequence, the problem of recognizing a clear set of economic policies designed to manage the complex economic and social processes connected to emigration. The paper demonstrates the enduring character of the problems encountered in the early Italian debates, by showing that these questions are similar to those debated in the vast literature developed from the 1950s on the subject of brain drain, and suggests an explanation for the lack of conclusive results in this literature. We think that it is possible to understand this impasse by highlighting that in the analyzed literature a problem of ‘fallacy of composition’ emerges between the microeconomics and macroeconomics of emigration.
On Herbert A. Simon and Jorge Luis Borges about Free Will
Authors: Crespo Ricardo F.
Published: May 2023

In 1970 Herbert Simon had been invited by the Sociedad Argentina de Organización Industrial (Argentine Society of Industrial Organization, SADOI, by its initials in Spanish) to deliver some lectures on “Business Management in the Technological Era”. On this occasion, he asked for an audience with Jorge Luis Borges, who, at the time, served as Director of the Argentine National Library. Simon had read some of Borges’s stories and was particularly fascinated by La biblioteca de Babel (The Library of Babel), wherein he discovered that Borges, like him, conceived of life as a search through a labyrinth. In fact, during the interview, the roles got reversed: in order to understand Simon’s concerns, Borges ended up asking more questions to Simon than Simon to Borges. The Spanish translation of the interview was published in Primera Plana, an Argentine journal of the time. This paper will show that this brief interview sheds light on some of Simon’s ideas about determinism and free will. His critique on maximizing rationality and his suggested approach to decision-making have contributed to enlarge the concept of rationality as construed by standard economic theory, enabling psychological and sociological dimensions to come into play. Consequently, it may be argued that Simon is incorporating free will in economics. However, though Simon’s position implies an advancement for the role of free will, the whole context of his ideas conditioned it, thus resulting in a “weak” notion of it. During the course of his conversation with Borges, Simon clarified his personal stance, which is consistent with his ideas. The paper will reveal Borges´ and Simon’s understanding of free will. This paper also contains a part of the conversation between Simon and Borges that has not been published previously in English. Although not all of it deals with free will, I believe that introducing it in its entirety is a contribution to the knowledge on Borges’ and Simon’s thought.
