Edipo all'alba di Pasolini
Note a margine di un'edizione critica
Authors: Cerica Andrea
Published: January 2023

Edipo all’alba is the first “Greek” tragedy by Pasolini: it was composed during the third year of his university education, but never made public until its posthumous collection in his complete works (most likely owing to the homoerotic content). Recent editions have proved to be damaging to the original because of several mistakes in copying and, as a result, to the precise comprehension of this composite play. On the basis of the last textual edition, just realised for the birth centenary, this paper tries to update the literature on Edipo all’alba shedding new light primarily on its ancient sources (Sophocles, Statius), which has been the least studied subject of the play.

Published: January 2023

This study presents findings from a survey implemented in May 2020 on responses to COVID-19 by Student Affairs and Services (SAS) practitioners around the world. Conducted by researchers from Germany, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States, the survey yielded 781 valid responses. Results show the involvement of SAS practitioners in COVID-19 institutional decision-making, actions taken during the pandemic, and the critical impact SAS had on different student groups and universities located in different contexts. The research demonstrates how SAS mediated the impacts of differently constituted public domains and sociocultural contexts on students and how SAS responded to diverse student needs. Based on the data, we outline a model for understanding SAS’s broader engagement with students in various contexts to enable conditions that promote student persistence and success.

Authors:   Victoria International, Victoria University of Wellington, Atherton Kelly , Cornwall Jon ,   Centre for Early Learning in Medicine, Otago Medical School, University of Otago,   Bioethics Centre, Division of Health Sciences, University of Otago
Published: January 2023

With high numbers of Chinese international tertiary students worldwide, it is important that institutions understand how best to establish environments that support positive mental health in this student group. This study used a mixed methods approach via an online survey to explore levels of psychological distress, help-seeking preferences, and engagement with counselling among Chinese international students at a New Zealand university. Findings support existing literature showing that Chinese international tertiary students experience high levels of distress and under-utilise counselling and other campus services, while the relationship between students and family is an important consideration to assist in mitigating psychological distress. Culturally appropriate interventions are needed to improve the wellbeing, and aid the integration, of Chinese students to their host country and educational environment.
Developing Staff Referral Pathways to Aid in Proactive Management and Maintenance of Student Health and Wellbeing
Authors:   Operations Coordinator, Health, Wellbeing and Inclusion, La Trobe University, Power Sarah
Published: January 2023

The escalation of the COVID-19 situation throughout 2021 saw a dramatic increase in the number of ad-hoc referrals and requests submitted to the Student Health and Wellbeing (SHW) team at La Trobe University. While the SHW team was pleased to be receiving these referrals and requests, the incomplete nature of many of the requests made it incredibly difficult for them to follow up. A standardised form was developed to better enable non-clinical and all university staff to request consultations, make referrals, and effectively hand over students of concern to the SHW team for wellbeing support. Although a challenge to develop appropriately, this form has seen enormous success and has improved service delivery and capacity to an unprecedented level. Although somewhat counterintuitive, by standardising the requests and referrals process, the team were better able to deliver non-standard, individualised support for the at-risk and distressed students who required it.

Published: January 2023

Na sociedade de consumo atual, em que o marketing atua de forma agressiva junto aos avanços tecnológicos dos meios de comunicação, que avultam a complexidade dos serviços financeiros, a educação financeira passa a ser algo indispensável para que os indivíduos tenham qualidade de vida. Entretanto, a interdisciplinaridade desse tema exige, como condição para que se tenha um controle das finanças pessoais, tanto um conhecimento prático de conceitos econômicos, mas sobretudo, um conhecimento teórico, no que se refere a competências e habilidades necessárias nas transações financeiras que a vida exige. Nesse sentido, a Matemática assume um importante e necessário papel, dado a sua ampla aplicabilidade nesse campo. Aventando sobre esta necessidade e não suficiência, para que um indivíduo possa ser educado financeiramente, pretende-se nesse texto fazer uma breve discussão da importância da Matemática na educação financeira dos indivíduos, considerando uma experiência obtida em uma oficina realizada pelo projeto de extensão “Educação Financeira: Matemática, Economia e Cidadania” da Universidade Estadual de Londrina para um grupo de mulheres, participantes das atividades da Secretaria da Mulher da Prefeitura de Londrina. A experiência obtida provocou-nos várias reflexões a respeito deste tema demonstrando o quão importante é o seu tratamento nas diversas esferas da sociedade, essencialmente àqueles mais desprovidos de recursos financeiros.

Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) in Gynecology: State of the Art and the Problem of Barriers
Authors: Forte Sara , Ferrari Filippo Alberto , Majd Hooman Soleymany , Cisotto Francesca , Ferrari Federico
Published: January 2023

Objectives: The advantages of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols application in all surgical branches have been largely demonstrated, even though there is a lack of a strong evidence from randomized trial and the evidence regarding the multimodality treatments is of low grade. Moreover, the problem of the barriers to the implementation of these protocols in clinical practice remains an unsolved problem. Mechanism: We performed a narrative review reporting the main barriers and enablers on the subject. Finding in Brief: The main barriers are resistance to change, lack of support from institutions and of financial resources or manpower, poor communication and collaboration within the multidisciplinary team, organizational problems, lack of standardized protocols, patient-related barriers (individual factors, reluctance, or inadequate education) and lastly clinical practice in small community hospitals. To overcome these problems, several enablers have been identified including: the involvement of the patient, the reorganization of care systems through standardized ERAS protocols, identification of a leader/coordinator, promotion of teamwork and staff education, financial resources, and the recognition of the role of the professionals involved. Conclusions: At this moment, resistance to change remains the most frequent and difficult barrier to overcome and, in our opinion, a reorganization of the health system aiming to the implementation of the ERAS protocols in the clinical practice is required.
Construction of an Immunity and Ferroptosis-Related Risk Score Model to Predict Ovarian Cancer Clinical Outcomes and Immune Microenvironment
Authors: Wei Chunyan , Zhao Gang , Gao Mei , Liu Yunting , Lei Pan , Cao Ting
Published: January 2023

Background: Ovarian cancer (OV) is a severe and common gynecological disease. Ferroptosis can regulate the progression and invasion of tumors. The immune system is a decisive factor in cancer. The present study aimed to use gene expression data to establish an immunity and ferroptosis-related risk score model as a prognostic biomarker to predict clinical outcomes and the immune microenvironment of OV. Methods: Common gene expression data were searched from the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas databases. Immunity-related genes and ferroptosis-related genes were searched and downloaded from the ImmPort and FerrDb databases, followed by the analysis of the overall survival of patients with OV and the identification of genes. Subsequently, the status of the infiltration of immune cells and the association between immune checkpoints and risk score were assessed. Results: A total of 10 prognostic genes (C5AR1, GZMB, IGF2R, ISG20, PPP3CA, STAT1, TRIM27, TSHR, RB1, and EGFR) were included in the immunity and ferroptosis-related risk score model. The high-risk group had a higher infiltration of immune cells. The risk score, an independent prognostic feature of OV was negatively associated with each immune checkpoint. The risk score may thus help to predict the response to immunotherapy. Conclusions: The immunity and ferroptosis-related risk score model is an independent prognostic factor for OV. The established risk score may help to predict the response of patients to immunotherapy.

Published: January 2023

Background: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which form complexes or single/multiple RNA-binding domains, have a functional role in regulating and determining the function or stability of the bound RNAs in various cancers, including breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA). However, the biological functions and clinical implications of RBP-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in BRCA remain largely unknown. Methods: Herein, we first identified and characterized RBP-related lncRNAs in BRCA. Then we built an RBP-related lncRNA signature (RBPLSig) and explored the clinical evaluation and prediction performance of the RBPLSig by bioinformatic analysis. In addition, to optimize treatment plans, prediction online tools was developed to predict the patient survival rate. Lastly, to verify the function of lncRNA WAC antisense RNA 1 (WAC-AS1), the experiments such as Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), lncRNA knockdown, CCK-8, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining were performed. We also gained the potential mechanisms of the druggable compounds of the WAC-AS1 related RBP gene, putative NSUN6, using molecular docking. Results: The results showed that RBPLSig, as an independent prognostic factor for BRCA patients, was involved in numerous malignancy-associated immunoregulatory pathways. We found different immune statuses and responses to immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy between the high- and low-risk groups stratified by RBPLSig. Conclusions: Our data broaden the comprehensive understanding of the biological functions of RBP-related lncRNAs, and demonstrate a novel and independent RBPLSig to assess prognosis and the immune microenvironment, thus helping to guide treatment decisions for BRCA.

Published: January 2023

Abnormal or excessive accumulation of adipose tissue leads to a condition called obesity. Long-term positive energy balance arises when energy intake surpasses energy expenditure, which increases the risk of metabolic and other chronic diseases, such as atherosclerosis. In industrialized countries, the prevalence of coronary heart disease is positively correlated with the human development index. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACD) is among the primary causes of death on a global scale. There is evidence to support the notion that individuals from varied socioeconomic origins may experience varying mortality effects as a result of high blood pressure, high blood sugar, raised cholesterol levels, and high body mass index (BMI). However, it is believed that changes in the concentration of trace elements in the human body are the main contributors to the development of some diseases and the transition from a healthy to a diseased state. Metal trace elements, non-metal trace elements, and the sampling site will be examined to determine whether trace elements can aid in the diagnosis of atherosclerosis. This article will discuss whether trace elements, discussed under three sections of metal trace elements, non-metal trace elements, and the sampling site, can participate in the diagnosis of atherosclerosis.

EVALUATING THE QUALITY OF PETROLEUM DIESEL-BIOFUEL BLENDS
Authors: Febriansyah Hermawan
Published: January 2023

As one of the largest archipelagic countries, there is a challenge in biofuel production and distribution because the raw materials, biodiesel refineries, and the fuel blending terminal are separated far apart. It makes a problem in maintaining quality. A good quality product of biofuel will raise customer acceptance. This paper aims to investigate the quality system of petroleum diesel-biodiesel blends in Indonesia after implementing B30 in 2020. This descriptive study was conducted with a quantitative approach showing that fuel producers should comply with the blending mandate and fuel standard to get the subsidies. But there is only one accredited laboratory to control the quality. The B30 quality verification report is also government subjectivity because it is not published. To ensure the acceptance of biofuel new specifications, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) established road tests and trial tests. The Indonesian automotive association which is dominated by Japan Manufacturers accepted the development of biofuel new specifications. The quality of biofuel production has been a concern for GoI, but there is a need to study the business model because the implementation of biofuel in Indonesia is highly dependent on subsidies.

HUKUM DAN KEKUASAAN

Published: January 2023

Hukum dan kekuasaan merupakan dua hal yang berbeda namun saling mempengaruhi satu sama lain. Hukum adalah suatu sistem aturan-aturan tentang perilaku manusia. Sehingga hukum tidak merujuk pada satu aturan tunggal, tapi bisa disebut sebagai kesatuan aturan yang membentuk sebuah sistem. Sedangkan kekuasaan adalah kemampuan seseorang atau suatu kelompok untuk mempengaruhi perilaku seseorang atau kelompok lain, sesuai dengan keinginan perilaku. Bisa dibayangkan dampak apabila hukum dan kekuasaan saling berpengaruh. Di satu sisi kekuasaan tanpa ada sistem aturan maka akan terjadi kompetisi seperti halnya yang terjadi di alam.Siapa yang kuat, maka dialah yang menang dan berhak melakukan apapun kepada siapa saja. Sedangkan hukum tanpa ada kekuasaan di belakangnya,maka hukum tersebut akan “mandul” dan tidak bisa diterima dengan baik oleh masyarakat. Hal ini karena masyarakat tidak memiliki ikatan kewajiban dengan si pengeluar kebijakan. Sehingga masyarakat berhak melakukan hal-hal yang di luar hukum yang telah dibuat dan di sisi lain pihak yang mengeluarkan hukum tidak bisa melakukan paksaan kemasyarakat untuk mematuhi hukum.

Discrete memories of a continuous world: A working memory perspective on event segmentation
Authors: Güler Berna , Adıgüzel Zeynep , Uysal Bilge , Gunseli Eren
Published: January 2023

We perceive the world in a continuum but remember our past as discrete episodic events. Dominant models of event segmentation suggest that prediction errors or contextual changes are the driving factors that parse continuous experiences into segmented events. These models propose working memory to hold a critical role in event segmentation, yet the particular functioning of working memory that underlies segmented episodic memories remains unclear. Here, we first review the literature regarding the factors that result in the segmentation of episodic memories. Next, we discuss the role of working memory under two possible models regarding how it represents information within each event. Lastly, we summarize the role of the hippocampus in segmenting and integrating events. Clarifying the contributions of working memory to event segmentation is important to improve our understanding of the structure of episodic memories.
Leisure engagement in older age is related to objective and subjective experiences of aging
Authors: Bone Jessica Katherine , Bu Feifei , Sonke Jill , Fancourt Daisy
Published: January 2023

Leisure engagement has potential to slow decline in older age and limit increasing healthcare costs as the number of older adults increases, but the potential benefits of different domains of leisure activities on aging experiences remains unclear. We included 8,893 older adults (mean age=63.18) from the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative study of individuals over the age of 50 in the US. Comparing four domains of leisure engagement (physical, creative, cognitive, and community activities), physical activity was most consistently associated with experiences of aging. It was related to more positive aging experiences concurrently in all seven domains (daily functioning, physical fitness, long-term physical health problems, heart health, weight, sleep, subjective perceptions of health) and was beneficially associated with all but one (heart health) of these domains eight years later. Engagement in creative activities was also positively related to experiences of aging in most domains concurrently, and daily functioning, physical fitness, sleep, and subjective perceptions of health longitudinally. However, cognitive and community activity engagement were less consistently related to aging experiences, particularly longitudinally. Looking across health domains, daily functioning, physical fitness, and subjective perceptions of health were most often associated with leisure engagement. Associations were independent of other domains of leisure engagement, demographic and socioeconomic factors, and previous experiences of aging. Our findings indicate that physical and creative activities may have a direct influence on important aging metrics, helping to reduce age-related decline, and keeping older adults functionally independent for longer.
Hello World! Building computational models to represent social and organizational theory
Authors: Grand James , Braun Michael , Kuljanin Goran
Published: January 2023

Computational modeling holds significant promise as a tool for improving how theory is developed, expressed, and used to inform empirical research and evaluation efforts. However, the knowledge and skillsets needed to build computational models are rarely developed in the training received by social and organizational scientists. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide an accessible introduction to and reference for building computational models to represent theory. We first discuss important principles and recommendations for “thinking about” theory and developing explanatory accounts in ways that facilitate translating their core assumptions, specifications, and ideas into a computational model. Next, we address some frequently asked questions related to building computational models that introduce several fundamental tasks/concepts involved in building models to represent theory and demonstrate how they can be implemented in the R programming language to produce executable model code. The accompanying supplemental materials describes additional considerations relevant to building and using computational models, provides multiple examples of complete computational model code written in R, and an interactive application offering guided practice on key model-building tasks/concepts in R.
Going round in circles: A cognitive bias in geometric reasoning
Authors: Hamami Yacin , Amalric Marie
Published: January 2023

Deductive reasoning is essential to most of our scientific and technological achievements and is a crucial component to scientific education. In Western culture, deductive reasoning first emerged as a dedicated mode of thinking in the field of geometry, but the cognitive mechanisms behind this major intellectual achievement remain largely understudied. Here, we report an unexpected cognitive bias in geometric reasoning that challenges existing theories of human deductive reasoning. Over two experiments involving almost 250 participants, we show that educated adults systematically mistook as valid a set of elementary invalid inferences with points and circles in the Euclidean plane. Our results suggest that people got “locked” on unwarranted conclusions because they tended to represent geometric premisses in specific ways and they mainly relied on translating, but not scaling, the circles when searching for possible conclusions. We conducted two further experiments to test these hypotheses and found confirmation for them. Although mathematical reasoning is considered as the hallmark of rational thinking, our findings indicate that it is not exempt from cognitive biases and is subject to fundamental counter-intuitions. Our empirical investigations of the source of this bias provide some insights into the cognitive mechanisms underlying geometric deduction, and thus shed light on the cognitive roots of intuitive mathematical reasoning.

Recent trends of mathematics education using the open and distance mode was more effective recent and useful. The theoretical framework was the full of the paradigm shift of the recent mode and relevant of the system. I have taught in the Operations Research in the online education and make the effective idea of the education. The pedagogy of the education in the methodology, groups of students in the schools. The different mode of student was the mode of mathematics in the Game theory, Markov chains, Queuing theory, Dynamic programming, Transportation and Assessment programs. Inventory and Replacement model and Forecasting model are the beautiful aspect in the methods. The online methods were the better for the books. The online methods were the virtual classroom, online conceptual elaboration and technology integrated pedagogy in open and distance learning (ODL).   It is suggested that LMS like Moodle is more effective in teaching and learning mathematics education using open and distance mode for higher education in Nepal.

Authors: Kharel Khom Raj
Published: January 2023

Environmental economics has important contributions to the understanding of environmental phenomena, their causes, effects, and possible solutions that have been developed from various areas of economic theory and original applications and developments. Economists are to provide an increasingly effective contribution to the study of environmental issues and the pursuit of sustainable development. In particular, empirical analyses are of fundamental importance both to environmental economics and to the sustainability debate. The objective of this study is to analyze the environmental problems which are being encountered as a result of attempts to produce economic development in the nation. Descriptive research design and descriptive statistics have been followed to make an analysis. The secondary information was collected. It was found that the acts and regulations related to the environment have not been effective due to the lack of integrated environmental policy, lack of coordination among various agencies, and lack of adoption of a holistic approach.

Published: January 2023

Background Non-invasive evaluation tool for allograft kidney is important to predict chronic allograft dysfunction as it can be alternative to the invasive biopsy which is prone to so many complications. Sonoelastography can assess the stiffness of the allograft renal parenchyma, which is prone to undergo interstitial fibrosis.

Objective To correlate sonoelastography with histopathology findings in the renal allografts.

Method Sonoelastography was done in 60 renal allograft recipients prior to their biopsy for various indications. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of the patient were also obtained. Histopathology reports were collected to determine Banff score of interstitial fibrosis. Descriptive measurements (Mean ± standard deviation, Frequencies, Proportions) were calculated. Correlations among the variables were measured using Pearson’s correlation, independent sample t-test, and ANOVA.

Result The mean strain index (SI) was lower in higher grades of fibrosis. There was significant difference in mean SI (F=18.264; df= 2,57; p < 0.001) among the histological grades of fibrosis. Also a significant difference in SI among mild and moderate (S.E. 0.27, p value < 0.001), mild and severe (S.E. 0.213, p value < 0.001) as well as moderate and severe fibrosis (S.E. 0.244, p value < 0.001) was seen. Significant correlation of eGFR with SI (p < 0.001) was also seen.

Conclusion Strain index, measured with sonoelastography, significantly correlated with different grades of tissue fibrosis. Thus it can be used as alternative method for evaluation of renal allograft patients to avoid complications of biopsy.
Surgical Outcome of Limberg’s Flap Reconstruction in the Treatment of Pilonidal Sinus Disease in a Community Hospital
Authors: Karki B. , Rajbhandari N.
Published: January 2023

Background Pilonidal sinus disease is an acquired condition that commonly arises in the hair follicles of the gluteal cleft with male predominance. Different treatment modalities have been described in the literature ranging from simple incision and drainage, wide local excision to complex plastic flaps.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and outcome of Limberg’s flap reconstruction in a community hospital.

Method This is a prospective study conducted over two-year duration in forty-two patients in the department of Surgery at Dhulikhel Hospital Kathmandu University Hospital from January 2017 till December 2018.

Result Total of 42 patients were operated ranging from 16-31 years with mean of 22.86 years, male to female ratio was 7.5:1, 52% were students and 19% were drivers. Mean operative duration was 61.86±25.3 minutes, length of hospital stay was 2.83±1.68 days, mean duration of drain in situ was 4±1.34 days, mean days for return to work was 14.5±5.7. We had a complication rate of 9.52% out of which 4.76% had seroma, 2.38% hematoma, 2.38% wound infection, and there was no flap necrosis or recurrence.

Conclusion It is a simple, easy to learn and safe procedure with good cosmetic results and low recurrence rate. It can be considered as an alternative to other flap and plasty procedures
Concept in Determining the Height of Mount Everest (Sagarmatha)
Authors: Manandhar Niraj
Published: January 2023

In this paper we describe the concepts in determining the height of the Mt. Everest and elucidate the method of height measured relative to sea level. The current height determination procedure is limited by the accuracy of the calculation of height of the sea, (less than +/- 2m) or its mathematical approximation the geoid. Although Nepal has been recognizing 8848m as the official height of the Everest, many climbing team and scientific explorations from different countries in different time have been conducted and achieved different numerical values of height of the Everest. The challenging issue is defining the elusive sea level with or without nearby shoreline. Through some recognized media it has been made public that the Government of Nepal have plan to ascertain the height of Mt. Everest and if it is so this would be the first attempt by Nepal government to determine the height on its own. Survey Department under the Ministry of Land Reform and Management is the authoritative organization to translate Government’s decision into action. Depending on the nature of the work; in order to accomplish the measurement, the complete task is divided into five parts such as Precise leveling survey, Determination gravimetric geoid, Trigonometrical leveling, Global Positioning System (GPS) Survey and Data processing. Survey Department, lacks in enough resources and infrastructures for completing this project in the complex environment of the most rugged High Himalayas therefore some other potential International Scientific organization can be expected to join hands in the process of height determination.
