Moderasi dalam Rekrutmen Politik Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (Studi Hukum tentang Inklusivitas Partai Politik)
Authors: Hakim Luqman Abdul , Safa'at Muchamad Ali , Arrsa Ria Casmi
Published: August 2024

The Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera or PKS), a political party with an ideology based on Islam as stated in its Articles of Association, initially aimed to be a da'wah party with the goal of creating a just and prosperous society based on Islamic principles. However, in recent years, there has been a shift in policies indicating steps towards moderation, especially concerning more inclusive political recruitment. These moderation steps include changes in the party's goals and a more open approach towards members and candidates from diverse backgrounds, as well as equal treatment of gender differences. Using legislative and conceptual approaches, this normative juridical research analyzes the legal considerations behind PKS's adoption of inclusive moderation policies in political recruitment and how the concept of inclusivity in such moderation is implemented by PKS. This study concludes that there are relevant legal considerations as the basis for PKS in determining inclusive and moderate policies, as well as their relevance to Law No. 2 of 2008 on Political Parties and other related laws. This research also provides a legal perspective on the political and ideological dynamics that influence PKS's political recruitment policies.

Patient-, Provider-, and Facility-Level Contributors to the Use of Cardiology Telehealth Care in the Veterans Health Administration: Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Tisdale Rebecca Lauren , Ferguson Jacqueline M , Van Campen James , Greene Liberty , Wray Charlie M , Zulman Donna M
Published: August 2024

Background

Telehealth (care delivered by phone or video) comprises a substantial proportion of cardiology care delivered in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Little is known about how factors specific to patients, clinicians, and facilities contribute to variation in cardiology telehealth use.

Objective

The aim of this study is to estimate the relative extent to which patient-, clinician-, and facility-level factors affect cardiology telehealth use in VHA.

Methods

This was a retrospective, nation-wide cohort study of veterans’ use of VHA cardiology telehealth care during the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 11, 2020, to March 10, 2022). We constructed multilevel, multivariable, logistic regression models of patient-level cardiology telehealth use (telephone or video-based care). Models included random effects for the patient, the patient’s main cardiology provider, and the patient’s primary facility (ie, VHA medical center) for specialty care and fixed effects for patient sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.

Results

Our analytic cohort comprised 223,809 veterans with 989,271 encounters among 2235 unique clinicians. The veterans’ average age was 70.2 years, and 3.4% (n=7616) were women. Of the 989,271 encounters, 4.2% (n=41,480) were video based and 34.3% (n=338,834) were phone based. Adjusted odds of telehealth use were slightly higher for women versus men (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.08, 95% CI 1.05-1.10), individuals identifying as Hispanic or Latino versus not Hispanic or Latino (AOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.43-1.49), and those with medium and long drive times versus short drive time (AOR 1.11, 95% CI 1.10-1.12 and AOR 1.09, 95% CI 1.07-1.10, respectively). Further, 40.5% of the variation in a veteran’s likelihood of using cardiology telehealth care was found at the patient level, 30.8% at the clinician level, and 7% at the facility level.

Conclusions

The largest share of the attributable variability in VHA cardiology telehealth use in this cohort was explained by the patient, followed closely by the clinician. Little variability was attributed to the primary facility through which the veteran received their cardiology care. These results suggest that policy solutions intended to improve equity of cardiology telehealth care use in VHA may be most impactful when directed at patients and clinicians.
Five-Feature Models to Predict Preeclampsia Onset Time From Electronic Health Record Data: Development and Validation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Ballard Hailey K , Yang Xiaotong , Mahadevan Aditya D , Lemas Dominick J , Garmire Lana X
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

 Preeclampsia is a potentially fatal complication during pregnancy, characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of excessive proteins in the urine. Due to its complexity, the prediction of preeclampsia onset is often difficult and inaccurate.

OBJECTIVE

 This study aimed to create quantitative models to predict the onset gestational age of preeclampsia using electronic health records.

METHODS

 We retrospectively collected 1178 preeclamptic pregnancy records from the University of Michigan Health System as the discovery cohort, and 881 records from the University of Florida Health System as the validation cohort. We constructed 2 Cox-proportional hazards models: 1 baseline model using maternal and pregnancy characteristics, and the other full model with additional laboratory findings, vitals, and medications. We built the models using 80% of the discovery data, tested the remaining 20% of the discovery data, and validated with the University of Florida data. We further stratified the patients into high- and low-risk groups for preeclampsia onset risk assessment.

RESULTS

 The baseline model reached Concordance indices of 0.64 and 0.61 in the 20% testing data and the validation data, respectively, while the full model increased these Concordance indices to 0.69 and 0.61, respectively. For preeclampsia diagnosed at 34 weeks, the baseline and full models had area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.65 and 0.70, and AUC values of 0.69 and 0.70 for preeclampsia diagnosed at 37 weeks, respectively. Both models contain 5 selective features, among which the number of fetuses in the pregnancy, hypertension, and parity are shared between the 2 models with similar hazard ratios and significant P values. In the full model, maximum diastolic blood pressure in early pregnancy was the predominant feature.

CONCLUSIONS

 Electronic health records data provide useful information to predict the gestational age of preeclampsia onset. Stratification of the cohorts using 5-predictor Cox-proportional hazards models provides clinicians with convenient tools to assess the onset time of preeclampsia in patients.

Published: August 2024

Anthropogenic activities have escalated CH4 emissions, exacerbating global warming, yet specialized bacteria known as Methanotrophs play a key role in mitigating atmospheric CH4 levels by consuming 30-70% of emitted methane. This study focuses on exploring the culturable methanotrophic population within Muthukuda mangrove sediments, an unexplored reservoir of methanotrophic diversity. The sediment sample yielded a methanotrophic bacterial count of 1.5 x 103 CFU/g, leading to the selection of three unique bacterial morphotypes (NCT270, NCT271, and NCT272) for in-depth investigation. Optimal growth was observed at pH 8, with peak growth at 30°C, while extreme temperatures of 4°C and 40°C inhibited growth across all isolates. Salinity levels between 20 and 30 ppt supported optimal growth, with strains displaying tolerance to various stressors. Methane served as the sole carbon source for all experiments, with positive urease production noted after 7 days of incubation. Microscopic and biochemical analyses suggested the classification of strains NCT270, NCT271, and NCT272 within Group I methanotrophic genera: Methylomicrobium, Methyloscarcina, and Methylomonas, respectively. BLASTn analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences shared high similarities with known methanotrophic species Methyloscarcina fibrate (ON834586) with 99.28%, Methylomicrobium album (ON834587) with 98.77% and Methylomonas methanica (ON834588) with 99.15%. The resulting insights enhance our understanding of culturable methanotrophic diversity and underscore its potential for environmental applications.

O sistema de organização da vida gerado pela modernidade capitalista é um ouroboros, ou seja, uma serpente que morde a própria cauda em um gesto inevitavelmente suicida. Seus signos são o saque extremo e a destruição da vida e sua forma política é o autoritarismo. Este artigo se propõe a apresentar o extrativismo geográfico como mais um nível do extrativismo dos bens da Terra, que pretende redesenhar o planeta abrindo caminhos e canais a despeito dos danos ambientais, culturais, históricos e sociais e gerando reações da natureza que vão moldando a atual catástrofe civilizatória. O declínio da civilização moderna capitalista dá lugar a emergências civilizatórias com modos de vida diferentes, por vezes promissores, porém a força devastadora da sua queda ameaça destruir as condições de vida em seu conjunto.
Approximate Quantum Codes From Long Wormholes
Authors: Bentsen Gregory , Nguyen Phuc , Swingle Brian
Published: August 2024

We discuss families of approximate quantum error correcting codes which arise as the nearly-degenerate ground states of certain quantum many-body Hamiltonians composed of non-commuting terms. For exact codes, the conditions for error correction can be formulated in terms of the vanishing of a two-sided mutual information in a low-temperature thermofield double state. We consider a notion of distance for approximate codes obtained by demanding that this mutual information instead be small, and we evaluate this mutual information for the SYK model and for a family of low-rank SYK models. After an extrapolation to nearly zero temperature, we find that both kinds of models produce fermionic codes with constant rate as the number, N, of fermions goes to infinity. For SYK, the distance scales as N1/2, and for low-rank SYK, the distance can be arbitrarily close to linear scaling, e.g. N.99, while maintaining a constant rate. We also consider an analog of the no low-energy trivial states property which we dub the no low-energy adiabatically accessible states property and show that these models do have low-energy states that can be prepared adiabatically in a time that does not scale with system size N. We discuss a holographic model of these codes in which the large code distance is a consequence of the emergence of a long wormhole geometry in a simple model of quantum gravity.

A experiência de viver a pós-graduação no Brasil e suas interseções com a sociedade do cansaço
Authors: Neves da Silva Bruno , Gomes Fernandes da Silva Valéria , Lima de Souza Nilba , Galvão Pinto Erika Simone
Published: August 2024

Este estudo objetivou refletir sobre o contexto da pós-graduação à luz dos argumentos que compõem a obra sociedade do cansaço, de Byung-Chul Han. Nas duas categorias de análise desenvolvidas, que relacionaram as vivências e as reflexões dos autores no âmbito da pós-graduação com os pressupostos de Han, ponderou-se que diversos aspectos inerentes desse cenário contribuem para ocasionar prejuízos à saúde biopsicossocial daqueles que o constituem. São exemplos a violência neuronal, o excesso de positividade, e o status, que confluem para transformar os discentes em animal laborans e configurar sua habitação no território da pós-graduação como em uma sociedade do cansaço, em que não há espaço para uma vida contemplativa. Dessa forma, sinaliza-se a necessidade de reflexões que almejem preservar a saúde mental desses sujeitos como prioridade no planejamento de ensino, pesquisa e gestão, de maneira transversal.

Authors: D’Angelis Júlia Laughton Durante , Fonseca Giovanni Campos , Schettino Stanley , Barbosa Rose Elizabeth Cabral
Published: August 2024

O distanciamento social necessário para o enfrentamento à pandemia da Covid-19 impôs a interrupção de aulas presenciais e a adoção do ensino remoto, resultando em mudanças significativas para a docência. Baseando-se no histórico documentado na literatura relacionado à alta prevalência de acometimentos à saúde mental de professoras e professoras e seu possível agravamento no período pandêmico, este estudo teve como objetivo revisar a produção científica acerca das repercussões do trabalho na saúde mental de docentes do ensino superior durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Realizou-se revisão de literatura a partir do Portal de Periódicos Capes. Das 453 publicações encontradas, selecionaram-se 13 artigos que atendiam concomitantemente a todos os critérios de inclusão adotados. Identificaram-se diversos desfechos relacionados à saúde mental de docentes, dentre os quais a ansiedade foi mais frequente, com seis ocorrências (prevalências entre 30,3 e 89,7%). O estresse foi identificado em cinco estudos (prevalências entre 24,1 e 76,0%). Sintomas de depressão figuraram em dois artigos (prevalências de 50,0% e 65,5%). A Síndrome de Burnout foi registrada também em duas pesquisas (prevalências de 41,0% e 58,3%). Dentre os fatores associados aos desfechos destacaram-se dificuldades relacionadas à adoção de ferramentas tecnológicas necessárias na transição do ensino presencial para o ensino remoto.

Published: August 2024

Este artigo contempla reflexões sobre o mal-estar e o sofrimento docente na contemporaneidade, a partir de experiências de escuta no âmbito da pesquisa e extensão universitárias. Apresentamos duas pesquisas, onde propusemos espaços de escuta por meio de entrevistas e escritas da experiência, ambas com docentes de instituições educacionais públicas. O método que embasa o texto é a pesquisa-intervenção de orientação clínica e a discussão pauta-se na análise clínica do discurso, que possibilitou recolher das pesquisas significantes que se entrelaçam, dando nomes ao mal-estar e ao sofrimento docente, tais como: silenciamento, desamparo, esgotamento, burocratização e produtividade. Diante destas manifestações, compreendemos que o mal-estar e o sofrimento docente são também produzidos e geridos pelo Estado e sustentados pela racionalidade neoliberal, a este intrínseca. Insistimos na constituição de experiências produtoras de espaços-tempo, de fala e de cuidado compartilhado, sem recuarmos frente à falta de alternativas que parece se impor. Assim, nos somamos aos esforços de construção de testemunhos de como essa racionalidade e suas violências se expressam na sociedade brasileira e nas instituições de ensino, sendo que nossas intervenções fazem coro com a constituição de acolhimento, cuidado com a saúde mental e suporte psicossocial no campo da educação, ensejando políticas de resistência.

Acrometastasis as a first sign of lung cancer
Authors: Tomic Miroslav , Jovanovic Mladen , Tomic Mirjana , Zivojinov Mirjana
Published: August 2024

Introduction. Bone metastases occurring distally to the elbow or knee joint are called acrometastases. Acrometastases make up only 0.1% of all bone metastases, but only 0.007% to 0.3% occur in the bones of the foot or hand. In 10% of patients, bone metastases occur as the first sign of a previously undiagnosed primary tumor. Case report. A 64-year-old male reported to the hospital due to painful swelling and redness of the fifth finger of the dominant hand. Osteolysis of the proximal phalanx of the fifth finger was diagnosed radiographically. A working diagnosis of osteomyelitis and phlegmon of the proximal phalanx was made. After incisional drainage, a tumor mass was observed intraoperatively. Amputation of the finger was performed at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint. Pathohistological analysis revealed squamous cell carcinoma metastasis. After a computed tomography scan and bronchoscopy with biopsy, a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the bronchus was made. The patient was given chemotherapy. During the application of the second cycle, there was a fatal outcome. Conclusion. Pathohistological verification and determination of the location of the primary tumor are important when acrometastasis is found because starting novel immunotherapy and targeted therapy in a timely manner could change the median survival of these patients.

Published: August 2024

Acral melanoma is a clinical subtype of melanoma with high mortality, on which research is limited in scope. This study aimed to assess incidence trends and melanoma-specific survival rates for acral melanoma in the Swedish population from 1990 to 2020.This cross-sectional study included patients with an acral melanoma diagnosis from 1990 to 2020 from the nationwide, population-based Swedish Melanoma Registry. Analyses on acral melanoma melanoma-specific survival rates were adjusted for age, sex, histopathological subtype, and tumour thickness. Clinicopathological features and melanoma-specific survival rates were compared between diagnostic periods: 1990–1999, 2000–2009, and 2010–2020, respectively. Changes in standardized incidence rates in 1996–2020 were evaluated separately for males and females. In total, 1,000 acral melanomas in 999 patients were included in the study. No significant yearly change in standardized incidence rates for either males or females was observed, even though the absolute number of cases increased. Factors such as male sex, age ≥ 70 years, and Breslow thickness > 1.0 were independently linked to lower melanoma-specific survival. The 5-year melanoma-specific survival across the studied period ranged from 75.8% to 77.9% for females, and from 62.4% to 71.7% for males.

The removal of colloidal impurities from water is an important aspect. The separation of colloidal impurities by coagulation and flocculation is an effective method of water treatment that is safe and sustainable.
Activities of the Taganrog Institute for the Scientific Organization of Production in 1921-1922
Authors: Aganov Andrey A.
Published: August 2024

The article raises the problem of the functioning of the Taganrog Institute for the Scientific Organization of Production in the Donbass and the South-East in the first years of its work, which fall on 1921-1922. This organization arose on March 30, 1921 in Taganrog after the 1st All-Russian Conference on the Scientific Organization of Labor in Moscow in January 1921. Pavel Matveyevich Esmansky became the head of the organization. This problem is relevant due to the fact that researchers-economists and specialists in the field of managerial thought mainly turned to the problems of economic and managerial concepts put forward by the employees of the Taganrog Institute, and there are no special studies of historians on this topic. This problem is considered on the basis of unpublished archival documents stored in the Taganrog branch of the GARO (State Archive of the Rostov Region). The author came to the conclusion that the activities of the Institute for the Scientific Organization of Labor and Production of Donbass and the South-East in the first two years of its existence were contradictory. On the one hand, the Institute received several enterprises on the territory of the Taganrog District for its economic management on a lease basis thanks to the assistance of central and local institutions, but on the other hand, from the very beginning of its work, it found itself in difficult financial conditions. Because of this, he could not fully carry out work to increase labor productivity at private and commercial enterprises leased to him, as well as carry out full research work. The methodological basis of this study is indicators of historicism and objectivity.

Field X, as this study area's focus, boasts over 200 wells proven to be hydrocarbon producers. Two pore pressure regimes exist: normal hydrostatic and overpressure. The primary hydrocarbon reservoir in the Balikpapan Formation within the Sanga- sanga axis at Field X consists of sandstone. Drilling disturbances, particularly in the lower intervals of this reservoir, often occur due to overpressure. The main challenge encountered in this reservoir is mud losses. The objective of this study is to develop the Pore Pressure and Fracture Gradient characteristics and its relation to the geological environment. Furthermore, the distribution of Sand (Interval-I) is determined, which is the primary cause of losses due to production. Besides that, the parameters used to create optimal fracture gradient is also defined. Thirteen wells in this field were examined to identify the controlling factors of pore pressure. This study integrates wireline logging, velocity, mud logs, pressure tests, drilling parameters and event which are subsequently processed for determining shale points, Normal Compaction Trend (NCT), calculating overburden gradient, and estimating pore pressure using the Eaton method. From the analysis result, the distribution of overpressure and the generating mechanism of overpressure are determined. This study also carried out analysis to determine overpressure and depleted Sandstone (Interval-I) distribution. Subsequently, facies and depositional environtment analysis are conducted, followed by modelling Sandstone (Interval-I) and determining Sandstone’s poisson ratio from loss data and shale’s from leak of test data for fracture gradient estimation. Overpressure is found in Interval-I with magnitude of 4000-4700 psi, which corresponds to delta plain to delta front depositional environment. Top of overpressure is observed shallower in the southern than northern due to geological structure conditions. The generating mechanism of overpressure is caused by loading and hydrocarbon generation. The experienced loss in overpressure zone, caused by reservoir production from the initial pressure of 4475 psi and has depleted to 373 psi. From the sandstone distribution model, the loss sandstones are a connected fluvial channel in southern ward. It is also observed several unconnected channel sandstones that did not experience loss. Poisson ratio parameter for sandstone is 0.35, which is calibrated from the loss event with minimum fracture gradient in Interval-I is approximately 4772 psi. It is expected that the understanding of pore pressure and Sandstone (Interval-I) distribution could be used to increase the success ratio for optimal drilling planning, including to choose effective casing design, mud weight, and appropriate total depth.

Geological hazards are hazard caused by geological processes. Citeureup Sub-watershed, located in Bogor Regency, is a densely populated area threaten by geological hazards. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of geological hazards using scoring and weighting method. Factors that analyzed to determine hazards potential including: slope, rocks physical property, lineament density, and rainfall. Hazard potential in study area divided into five different levels, ranging from very low to very high, with geological hazards in the form of mass movement and earthquake. Main factor of mass movement hazard potential is slope, meanwhile earthquake potential hazard main factor is lineament density, which indicates geological structure. Rocks physical property and rainfall are supporting factors that can increase geological hazards potential.
LAND MOVEMENT VULNERABILITY ZONING IN THE HILLY AREA OF NORTHERN CILACAP, CENTRAL JAVA

The northern part of Cilacap has an area with hilly morphology with slopes that are relatively gentle to steep. The geological setting in this region is quite complex, the combination of tectonics and the physical properties of the rocks means that this region is strongly deformed. This has an impact on areas prone to landslides as one of land movement types. To what extent can this area be classified based on the vulnerability of its land to landslides is the problem be studied. There are five aspects used in this research, namely rainfall, rock type, slope, land cover and soil type. The multi-aspect overlay method is used to determine the spatial distribution of land movement-prone zones. Geographic Information System-based software support makes the data analysis process easier. Based on the results of the spatial analysis of five aspects, it was concluded that the North Cilacap area could be grouped into 3 land movement vulnerability zones, namely the low vulnerability zone with a score of 8-17, the medium vulnerability zone with a score of 18-27, and the high vulnerability zone with a score of 28-37. The complex tectonic order is the main controller of land movement events in this region.
Quem são “todos”? Investigando o perfil dos grupos brasileiros de Ginástica para Todos

Published: August 2024

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar o perfil de grupos brasileiros de Ginástica para Todos (GPT). Para isto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de caráter quantitativo, na qual foi utilizada um questionário online (Google Forms) respondido por 378 integrantes adultos de 22 grupos. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de Estatística Descritiva. Os dados colocam em evidência o protagonismo da região Sudeste, bem como confirmam a forte atuação das universidades públicas no desenvolvimento desta prática gímnica no contexto brasileiro. Ainda que em projetos extensionistas esta diferença seja mais tímida, há um predomínio de integrantes do sexo feminino na composição dos grupos. Quanto a idade dos praticantes, confirmamos a adesão da prática por diferentes faixas etárias, inclusive dentro de um mesmo grupo, porém com uma expressiva dominância de jovens adultos. Por fim, os dados também corroboram a hipótese de que a GPT pode consagrar-se como uma prática de longa permanência, uma vez que mais de um terço dos integrantes relatam fazer parte de seus respectivos grupos a mais de quatro anos.

Published: August 2024

En la Argentina, las transformaciones en las relaciones de Estado y sociedad plantean desde los años noventa un cambio de los alcances de las agendas y las capacidades de los gobiernos locales para enfrentar problemáticas de gran escala que exceden los límites territoriales, conforme a la expansión de las ciudades. Esta redefinición “de hecho” de roles de los gobiernos, en un marco de fragmentación política/administrativa, implica un constante adicionar de temáticas como desarrollo local, la planificación del territorio, el cuidado del ambiente, las políticas de innovación, entre otras, en nuevos formatos y en clave global. Emerge así la cooperación inter-municipal para administrar nuevas competencias delegadas, con experiencias de asociativismo en línea a solucionar problemas de gestión urbana y conurbación. El objetivo principal del artículo es recapitular y analizar las principales experiencias asociativas de inter-municipalismos en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, desde la óptica de la planificación. Metodológicamente, se aborda desde fuentes primarias con entrevistas semi-estructuradas a dos grupos de informantes: especialistas académicos y funcionarios de diversos municipios involucrados en estos arreglos institucionales. Se realiza también el análisis de fuentes secundarias y documental. Como resultado, se exponen las discusiones, posibilidades y debilidades para generar un estado de situación actual.
Política pública y hábitat popular. Análisis de intervenciones en barrios populares del Partido de La Plata, Argentina
Authors: Báez Santiago
Published: August 2024

En tiempos donde el accionar estatal es fuertemente cuestionado y el gobierno nacional de La Libertad Avanza reduce su injerencia a niveles de actuación ínfimos, resulta de interés recuperar algunas experiencias de actuación en barrios populares que permitan echar luz sobre la importancia que tiene la presencia estatal en cuestiones vinculadas al hábitat. En este sentido, el presente trabajo apunta a mostrar cómo la lógica de la necesidad y la lógica estatal se articulan e interactúan para atender demandas del hábitat popular en cuatro barrios populares localizados en el partido de La Plata, Argentina. A través del relevamiento y análisis de distintas bases de datos (ReNaBaP, Secretaría de Integración Socio Urbana), el análisis de normativa y la realización de entrevistas semi-estructuradas a informantes clave, se indagan distintas intervenciones realizadas por el Estado en los barrios seleccionados. Los resultados permiten observar que el accionar de este actor se manifiesta en un abanico importante de intervenciones con distinto grado de complejidad, que si bien puede encontrar resistencias y cuestionamientos, son medidas que de algún modo apuntan a mejorar la situación habitacional de millones de personas que lo necesitan.
