Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: The results of numerous studies indicate a high prevalence of cognitive impairment among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of computerized training in cognitive rehabilitation in individuals with type 1 and type 2 DM, taking into account the dynamics of brain perfusion.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized controlled study. The study group consisted of 25 patients with type 1 DM and 30 patients with type 2 DM aged 23 to 67 years. The comparison group included 20 patients with type 1 DM (mean age 28.4 years) and 20 patients with type 2 DM (mean age 56.0 years). Before and after the rehabilitation course, the patients of the study group underwent a general clinical examination, a blood test for carbohydrate metabolism, cognitive function testing using the Montreal Scale (MoCA test), contrast-free perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Active rehabilitation lasted 6 month; it was based on a computerized training, including exercises on verbal and nonverbal intelligence.
RESULTS: On the initial examination, all the subjects did not have the achieved target level of glycated hemoglobin. After completion of the training program, a decrease in the parameter in both groups was noted, as well as a decrease in the mean level of fasting glycemia in people with type 1 DM. The result of neuropsychological testing in all patients at the initial stage corresponded to the diagnosis of ‘cognitive dysfunction’. The control test revealed an improvement in cognitive status according to the overall score, the abstraction scale, speech, memory and visual-constructive skills. Correlation analysis in the group with type 1 DM showed that the result of exercises on visual attention and auditory perception was influenced by memory function. In individuals with type 2 DM, increased glycated hemoglobin was associated with a decrease in cognitive functions according to the overall score of the MoCA test, as well as in tasks for speech, memory, visual-constructive skills. Dynamic analysis of changes in the MRI picture revealed hypoperfusion in the area of the right and left thalamus in patients with type 1 and type 2 DM, respectively, as well as increased perfusion of the white matter of the right parietal lobe in the group with type 1 DM, and in the putamen area on the left in the group with type 2 DM.
CONCLUSION: In patients with type 1 and type 2 DM, as well as with cognitive deficit, who underwent a course of cognitive rehabilitation using computerized training, an improvement in cognitive status was noted, which was confirmed by the results of contrast-free perfusion MRI. to evaluate the effectiveness of computerized training in cognitive rehabilitation in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, taking into account the dynamics of brain perfusion.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: The main goals of treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis of lower limbs (ST LL) can be achieved using different treatment tactics: conservative treatment, surgical intervention, and their combination.
AIM: To perform a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy, crossectomy in combination with pharmacotherapy and of phlebectomy in combination with pharmacotherapy in patients with ST LL.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the therapeutic tactics of ST LL was conducted (86 patients; 36 men and 50 women). Group 1 patients received only conservative treatment, group 2 patients underwent crossectomy and conservative treatment in the postoperative period, group 3 — phlebectomy in combination with conservative treatment. The clinical effectiveness of treatment was evaluated by the recurrence rate and/or progression of the disease within 3 months after treatment and the level of life quality (Chronic Venous Insufficiency Questionnaire, CIVIQ 20, visual analog scale, VAS). Based on the data obtained in the study, a mathematical model was developed to determine the maximally effective treatment method. For mathematical modeling, a ‘random forest’ method was used.
RESULTS: All the studied treatment methods demonstrated a comparative clinical effectiveness. Analysis of the dynamics of the studied parameters (adjusted for gender and age of the patients) compared with their initial values within each group showed that statistically significant changes in the psychological factor were observed in the pharmacotherapy group already on the 7th control day (p = 0.024), while in the crossectomy and phlebectomy groups only on the 14th day. In the groups of pharmacotherapy (p = 0.001) and phlebectomy (p = 0.005), the improvement in terms of the social factor occurred faster than in the group of crossectomy, since statistically significant differences were found on the 7th day, and in the group of crossectomy only on the 14th day.
CONCLUSION: All the groups demonstrated comparable clinical effectiveness in normalization of the quality of life and the recurrence rate and/or progression of the disease within three months after completion of treatment. On the basis of the data obtained, predictive models have been constructed that allow, based on the initial characteristics of the patient, to determine the tactics of therapy that can ensure maximum effectiveness in terms of normalization of values, reflecting the quality of life and VAS parameter.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: Methods of physiotherapy using intravenous laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) that affects various pathogenetic factors of lymphedema, permits to achieve the required therapeutic effect and shows its promising perspectives.
AIM: Evaluation of the effectiveness of ILIB to reduce the lymphedema volume in the lower limbs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 2020–2022, a comprehensive conservative treatment including compression therapy, pharmacotherapy and ILIB, was conducted in 60 patients of the mean age 45.3 ± 1.6 years with I–III stage lymphedema. Group 1 included patients with primary (n = 8) and group 2 (n = 52) with secondary lymphedema of the lower limbs. Laser radiation at 632 nm wavelength was used with standardized parameters: power 3 to 15 mW, pulse rate 80 to 2,000 Hz, exposure time 5 to 15 min, with a course (up to 10 sessions), daily, or interval (every 2nd day) load. Lymph outflow, microcirculation, soft tissues of the affected limb were evaluated using electrocoagulography, ultrasound examination of inguinal lymph nodes and soft tissues, triplex scanning, thermal imaging and McClure-Aldrich test.
RESULTS: At the end of the treatment course, a reduction of the limb perimeter at the level of the middle third of the lower leg by 14.8 ± 0.7% was noted (from 48.7 ± 5.3 cm to 41.4 ± 0.9 cm). After 4 sessions and a treatment course, electrocoagulography revealed hypocoagulation with the formation of a loose clot with early retraction. Spearman test showed a direct relationship between changes in the fibrinolytic activity of blood and the perimeter of the lower leg in patients of group 2 with I–II stage of the disease (p 0.005). Thermography of the lower limbs showed increased IR radiation with a statistically significant increase (p 0.001) in the area of hyperthermia in the distal parts of the lower legs and the inner surface of the thighs. The results of McClure-Aldrich test showed a statistically significant slowdown of a skin papule resolution in the distal part of the lower legs from 27.13 ± 2.77 min to 35.72 ± 3.11 min (р 0.05) after ILIB in I stage of the disease.
CONCLUSION: ILIB affects the internal factors of lymph outflow and contributes to its optimization in the comprehensive treatment of patients in the initial stage of secondary lymphedema of the lower limbs.

Published: January 2024

The Indonesian government has utilized an application, named Peduli Lindungi, to assist in controlling the spread of Covid-19. This study was aimed to uncover the public’s views on the Peduli Lindungi application. An online survey was conducted by distributing the questionnaire through social media applications to gather 266 participants around Indonesian inhabitants using a convenience sampling method. The data were analyzed by applying an independent sample t-test and ANOVA to detect the differences of participants’ usefulness and easiness perception, attitude, privacy anxiety, and trust between gender, age, educational level, and occupation groups. The analysis showed that oldsters, graduate degree completion, and public workers had a higher level of perceived usefulness, attitude, and trust. The study also found the role of educational level and occupation in affecting the public’s perception. However, more studies are encouraged by broadly observing other types of views to design the most effective strategy in promoting the application.
Discovering Key Actors and Opinion Leaders on Twitter’s Start-Up and Entrepreneurship Topics Trending: A Social Network Analysis Approach
Authors: Wibisono Eristian
Published: January 2024

The topic of start-ups and entrepreneurship has been widely discussed on social media to disseminate information while serving as a digital marketing platform. Unfortunately, researchers and practitioners interested in analyzing social networks to gain business advantage through digital platforms still need to be expanded. This paper analyzes networks on social media to find important actors and opinion leaders on trending start-up and entrepreneurship topics. Data analytics is performed using one of the most extensive social media, Twitter. Several visualizations of the social network of these actors are then displayed using specific network visualization applications. The results are discussed by analyzing the main attributes in the network, namely degree, centrality, modularity, and word cloud, which can lead us to discover important attributes in the network: main actors, opinion leaders, groupings of actors according to topics discussed, and specific terms that are trending topics. This paper contributes to digital marketing practitioners and social network analysis studies in related fields with a concise and duplicable methodology. Further research is recommended to work more extensively with more representative data from multiple networks to analyze these topics in more depth.

This study aims to analyze the social media accounts of Ministers in Indonesia as a means of delivering information to the public. We analyzed two Twitter accounts of Indonesian ministers who were considered to have millennial style and were active on social media, namely Erick Tohir as Minister of SOEs and Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy. The data obtained is the second Twitter post of the Minister from September 2019 to June 2023. The method in this study uses qualitative content analysis with the Nvivo 12 Plus analysis tool. The results of this study show that Erick Tohir conveyed a number of information about global cooperation, increasing dividends, and the role of SOEs for society. Meanwhile, Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno provided information on a number of bilateral relations cooperation, creative economy, and visits to various leading destinations. By looking at the number of comments, retweets, likes, and views on the average post, we conclude that Erick Tohir's communication on Twitter has a greater public response than Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno.

During the January Uprising, the territory of Romania played a significant role in Polish military plans and served as a base for fighting units. It was a route for the transfer of weapons and ammunition, and also housed Polish volunteers and soldiers who couldn't cross into Russian territory to support the uprising. Acting on behalf of the National Government, commissioner Michał Mrozowicki was tasked with organizing the transfer of arms and ammunition, as well as taking care of soldiers and volunteers in the camps. His correspondence and reports to the National Government provide an account of events from June 1863 to October 1864, offering detailed information about his activities, the fate of Poles under his care, the challenges he faced as an official of the National Government, and the financial state, among other things.
Historical Writing in the Service of Politics. Socio-political Changes of the Nineteenth Century in Western Europe from the Perspective of the Work of the Krakow Conservative, Henryk Lisicki (1839–1899)
Authors: Nowak Mariusz
Published: January 2024

The article presents the views of Henryk Lisicki, a publicist and historian, actively cooperating with Krakow’s conservatives (Stańczycy). It focuses on the issue presented in his literature (and representative of his native environment), of the attitude of conservatives toward the nineteenth-century democratization processes. In his views, he revealed criticism of the legacy of the Great French Revolution of 1789. However, the article indicates that in his works Lisicki did this from a moderately conservative position. As a result, he argued for the possibility of adapting the deposit of „traditional values” resulting from the natural law to the reality forming in the Old Continent, under the influence of changes caused by the aforementioned revolution. The article also signals the political construct preferred by moderate conservatives (which is an alternative to the personal rule of a ruler or republic), in the form of a constitutional monarchy, which was exemplified by Victorian England. The text also points to representative elements of the moderately conservative worldview, which is a reception of conservative and liberal ideals.
The Faculties of Theology at the University of Warsaw 1918–1939
Authors: Przeniosło Małgorzata , Przeniosło Marek
Published: January 2024

There were two theological faculties at the University of Warsaw: the Faculty of Catholic Theology and the Faculty of Evangelical Theology. There was also the Seminary of Orthodox Theology. Such a solution was not present at other Polish interwar state universities, where only faculties of Catholic theology were established (apart from the University of Poznań, where such a faculty did not come into existence). The Faculty of Catholic Theology at the University of Warsaw was intended only for graduates from theological seminaries, while at the other state universities, the laity of both sexes was also eligible to apply. Compared to the entire University of Warsaw, its theological faculties were the smallest structures regarding the number of students and researchers. The involvement of the staff in scientific work varied considerably, but the approach to lecturing was usually very competent. The student’s diligence was not at a high level. A vast majority of students did not graduate from the university on time, though this was true for most disciplines at all universities. The relations between the two theological faculties at the University of Warsaw were not painless. Also, the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public Education leaned towards combining all three theological structures of the University of Warsaw into one, which eventually did not materialize, and the faculties remained separate entities until the outbreak of World War II.
Determining the Jurisdiction of Polish (non-German) Courts in Criminal Cases by the German Prosecutor's Office in the General Government in the Years 1939–1945
Authors: Mielnik Hubert
Published: January 2024

The article discusses the issue of determining jurisdiction by the German prosecutor's office in criminal cases in the General Government concerning the Polish (non-German) judiciary. The study uses the legal-history methodology. The author indicated and analyzed the legal basis for the subject matter. The procedure for determining jurisdiction has been reconstructed, from preparatory proceedings to the possibility of changing final judgments. In addition, criteria were indicated that determined the selection of a specific type of court to consider a case. The article also analyzes the practice of the German prosecutor's office in this regard. The research was based on the analysis of the preserved files of proceedings of German courts, special courts, and Polish (non-German) courts, which met the criteria of the adopted methodology. The thesis of the work assumes that the German prosecutor's office transferred to special courts, apart from those cases that belonged to their jurisdiction under the provisions of the regulations in force in the General Government, also those that concerned acts and perpetrators requiring severe punishment, under the Nazi views on criminal law.
Ławryn Drewiński – the Most Important Orthodox Noble Protagonist in the Reign of Sigismund III
Authors: Kempa Tomasz
Published: January 2024

The article concerns one of the most important Orthodox noble leaders in the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth – Ławryn Drewiński. He was one of the most outstanding parliamentarians of the Old Polish era. He participated in 15 parliamentary assemblies. He became famous for his expressive speeches in the parliamentary forum (especially in 1620 and 1621) in defense of the Orthodox Church, which after the conclusion of the Union of Brest (1596) had to compete with the Uniate Church for the preservation of previously held freedoms and privileges. Drewiński was a deputy from the Volyn voivodeship, whose sejmik, during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, most often spoke about religious matters, consistently advocating for religious tolerance. He played an outstanding role during the interregnum of 1632, when the Orthodox managed (largely thanks to the determination of the king-elect Władysław IV Vasa) to regain some of the bishoprics, and then also a number of churches, previously taken over by the Uniates. Despite his consistent stance of fidelity to Orthodoxy, in 1629 he actively supported the attempt to build a union between the Orthodox Church and Uniates in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Drewiński was also one of the most active activists of the Orthodox brotherhoods in the times of Sigismund III, seeing them as an opportunity for the spiritual and intellectual revival of Orthodoxy in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Despite the emphasized Ruthenian origin, Drewiński was also to some extent polonized. In public activities, he used the Polish language. Like his father Basil, he was a supporter of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, while at the same time being an opponent of involving Moscow in the fight for the restoration of the Orthodox Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (after the Union of Brest).
Cross-Examining the Computer: Uncertainty in the Court
Authors: McClellan Marshall John
Published: January 2024

This paper is intended to provide lawyers, young and old, with an analytical approach to their practice that is perhaps broader than they originally learned in law school or as young associates. Because lawyers and judges tend to be derived in large part from the liberal arts, this approach broadens that view borrowed in part on the principles of quantum mechanics, in particular Heisenberg’s “uncertainty principle.” While lawyers and judges are accustomed to some level of uncertainty, whether in an office context or at trial, the question of how to deal with it varies quite widely from person to person, and the subjectivity itself creates problems. Admittedly, this is an exercise in the “intellectual aspects of the practice of law,” which is an eminently practical activity, but it is intended to raise questions as to the role of modern technology in the legal context, as well as provide, to some extent, answers.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to identify the latent classes of work-family spillover among working mothers, and to explore the pattern of transition across latent classes over time. In addition, we examined factors influencing the latent transition. The data were from the 7th and 8th years of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families(KLSWF) using latent transition analysis. As a result of the analysis, 4 latent classes were derived in the 7th year, and depression, happiness, overall leisure satisfaction, number of minor children, working hours, and work satisfaction were identified as significant factors. In the 8th year, 3 latent classes were derived, and depression, overall leisure satisfaction, working hours, work satisfaction, increased housework hours, and increased subjective happiness were identified as significant factors. Happiness, overall leisure satisfaction, and work satisfaction were found to be factors affecting the transition between latent classes. These findings would be useful to enhance work-family balance for working mothers.
Disregarding Uncertainty, Marginalizing Patients
Authors: Gentry Elissa Philip
Published: January 2024

What does it mean to “trust the science”? The phrase is often used to suggest that scientific knowledge is static and that the public can treat current recommendations as eternal verities. The medical community is not omniscient, however. Indeed, some illnesses are characterized by uncertainty: it is not clear with what frequency the associated symptoms occur or whether they are a manifestation of a psychological disorder or a physiological disease. The medical field is no stranger to such challenges, labeling such illnesses as “contested.” The communication of uncertainty surrounding these illnesses, however, presents a troubling dynamic. Rather than engaging in constructive dialogue that moves scientific understanding forward, viewpoints become entrenched, points of disagreement are obscured, and professionals retaliate against one another. In the best case scenario, patients are merely left to sort through dense medical concepts on their own; in the worst case, they are targeted by predatory providers. Patients suffer, trust in science declines.
Drawing on insights from the economics literature, this Article presents a theoretical framework for approaching the uncertainty inherent in contested illnesses. The framework discusses the pattern of evidence accumulation that accompanies an uncertain illness, distinct from that of a disease where uncertainty is substantially resolved. Applying these insights to the communication of uncertainty surrounding contested illnesses, the Article notes that null results in the presence of well-designed studies should be weighed differently than null results in the presence of case studies or small sample studies. If an illness is truly uncertain, the framework highlights the potential benefits of additional caution in approaching irreversible actions, such as prematurely communicating the resolution of uncertainty (which can lead to the development of patient mistrust). This careful communication of uncertainty is vital to prevent patient marginalization and to clarify the often-inscrutable information landscape in these contexts. Current regulations for medical providers and public figures are insufficient, however, to incentivize such careful communication. This Article proposes a government-coordinated informational digest that weighs existing evidence based on the rigor of study design and imputes null results to missing results of completed studies. The agency coordinating the digest will provide incentives for studies that fill gaps in the literature and which incorporate input from patient advocate groups into the design. In doing so, it will enable the medical community to both better handle existing uncertainty and to take important steps toward resolving it. More importantly, however, this transparent process educates the public about how scientific beliefs should evolve and prevents the irreversible harm of patient marginalization.
Exploring the Experiences of Parental Cancer among Young Adults
Authors: Harihar Pranathi , Sathiyaseelan Anuradha
Published: January 2024

The study aimed to understand the changes in the parent-child relationship after the diagnosis of a parent with cancer, explore the psychological and emotional challenges faced by young adults, gain insight into the strategies these young adults used to cope, and create intervention strategies to provide psychosocial care to the young adults whose needs go unmet. Participants were young adults between 18 and 24, three males, one non-binary, and three females. The research design was of qualitative methodology. Seven in-depth interviews of 20 – 45 minutes each were conducted in a semi-structured format, both online and offline. The data was analyzed using Thematic Analysis. The main themes identified were Dynamics in Parent-Child Relationships and Communication, Challenges Faced by Young Adults, and Managing to Face the World and a Way Forward. Fear, shock, anger, and sadness were common reactions to hearing the parent’s diagnosis. They reported a stronger relationship with the parent post-diagnosis. The majority expressed the importance of therapy and support groups to help cope during these turbulent times. The results can be utilized to formulate a psychosocial intervention for young adults with parental cancer to reduce the psychological and emotional burden on them.
Islamic Resilience of Marginal School Communities Management in An Effort to Educational Transformation
Authors: Suud Fitriah M. , Armansyah Awang Dhany
Published: January 2024

Learning for marginalized children has taken place in conditions not befitting other schools in general. There are many challenges faced by students and school managers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze Islamic resilience implemented by marginal school managers to strive for educational transformation. This qualitative study used a case study approach, with data collected through interviews and direct observations in the research location. The results show that the dimensions of Islamic resilience implemented by MSC management are optimism, problem analysis, empathy, and self-confidence. The belief that God does not give burdens beyond human ability and that the best human beings are those that benefit others is a strength for school administrators to remain as members for marginalized children to continue their education. The learning concept of the Marginal School Community is oriented toward children, adjusting to their age level, with reading, writing, mathematical materials, creativity, and religious material. The learning methods employed include learning by doing, learning while playing, and outings. The curriculum used in marginal schools is inclusive and accessible, developed by the MSC curriculum team. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, learning is still conducted face-to-face, albeit with reduced learning hours and the number of MSC volunteers attending classes. The strategy for maintaining learning consistency in marginal schools is achieved through open recruitment of volunteers and internal reinforcement or team building.

Character education is important to instill in early childhood. The purpose of this research is to see the concept of character education for early childhood from the perspective of the Qur'an. The importance of education is not only found in the perspective of national education but also in the Qur'an, which leads to the formation of human morality. The method used in this study was by conducting library research. This descriptive research used a qualitative approach. Simultaneously, the data analysis technique applied content analysis by emphasizing the constancy of the content of communication, the meaning of the content of communication, the reading of symbols, and the meaning of the contents of the interaction of symbols in communication. The results of this study show that the Qur'an pays attention to education to shape the morale of early childhood and Muslims so that they become a person with a strong character. The novelty in research is that the Qur'an has outlined character education for early childhood by forming human morals through a) education and science (Q.S al-Baqarah: 266), b) cultivation of faith (Q.S an-Nisa: 59), and c) implementation of the Shari'a (Q.S al-Ankabut: 45). The implication of this research is that it can be applied as the main principle in Islamic education to shape the character of early childhood and as an effort to reorient the concept of Islamic education contained in the Qur'an.

Published: January 2024

Las medidas en frontera son un mecanismo de observancia de derechos de propiedad intelectual que está orientada a la suspensión aduanera ante presunciones de trasgresión de derechos de los titulares. El presente estudio propuso prácticas de mejora a dicho sistema con el fin de fortalecer la protección de los derechos intelectuales y, a su vez, incentivar el comercio justo. En efecto, mediante métodos cualitativos de investigación se analizó a profundidad el régimen a tal punto que se identificó las principales falencias. De esta forma, se reveló que Ecuador, en 5 años, tramitó 11,7 veces menos casos de medidas en frontera que Perú en 3 años. De tal forma que, es imperante el estudio de esta figura para entender cómo se puede superar esta alarmante situación que quebranta el sistema y da paso a fenómenos como la falsificación y el comercio ilícito.

Authors: Chi Jennifer , Chi Yeong Nain
Published: January 2024

This study utilized a mixed model approach, incorporating k-means clustering analysis for data examination, discriminant analysis for classification, and multilayer perceptron neural network analysis for prediction. After removing inadequate samples and outliers, the total number of observations was 19,692 for this study, which was collected through an interactive online personality test (i.e., Big Five Personality Traits) in 2012. The empirical results based on the k-means clustering analysis identified four different personality clusters using the total score of Big Five Personality Traits (Extraversion, Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience). The empirical results obtained from the k -means clustering analysis revealed the presence of four distinct personal clusters, determined by the total scores of the Big Five Personality Traits. The accuracy of the clustering analysis was further tested using discriminant analysis, which indicated significant difference among the cluster means and correctly classified 95.5% of the original grouped cases. For predictive modeling, a multilayer perceptron neural network framework was used. The network had a 5-6-4 structure and was employed to determine the personality classification of participants. Notably, the model achieved 99.4% accuracy in correctly classifying the training grouped cases and 99.2% accuracy for the testing grouped cases. The results of this study offer valuable insights into understanding the personalities of participants, with implications for various domains such as psychology, social sciences, cultural studies, and economics.
Utilizing Model Residuals to Identify Rental Properties of Interest: The Price Anomaly Score (PAS) and Its Application to Real-time Data in Manhattan
Authors: Sultan Youssef , Rafter Jackson , Nguyen Huyen
Published: January 2024

Understanding whether a property is priced fairly hinders buyers and sellers since they usually do not have an objective viewpoint of the price distribution for the overall market of their interest. Drawing from data collected of all possible available properties for rent in Manhattan as of September 2023, this paper aims to strengthen our understanding of model residuals; specifically on machine learning models which generalize for a majority of the distribution of a well-proportioned dataset. Most models generally perceive deviations from predicted values as mere inaccuracies, however this paper proposes a different vantage point: when generalizing to at least 75% of the dataset, the remaining deviations reveal significant insights. To harness these insights, we introduce the Price Anomaly Score (PAS), a metric capable of capturing boundaries between irregularly predicted prices. By combining relative pricing discrepancies with statistical significance, the Price Anomaly Score (PAS) offers a multifaceted view of rental valuations. This metric allows experts to identify overpriced or underpriced properties within a dataset by aggregating PAS values, then fine-tuning upper and lower boundaries to any threshold to set indicators of choice.
Biochemical Response Comparisons of a Competitive Microcycle Vs. Congested Fixture Periods in Elite Level European Champions League Soccer Players
Authors: Owen Adam L
Published: January 2024

The aim of this investigation was to analyses differences between post-game biochemical responses in congested (CP, when two consecutive games were played within 4 days or less) vs. non-congested (NCP, when two consecutive games were played within 5 days or more) periods. Assessment of creatine kinase (CK) and salivary cortisol (sCort) and immunoglobulin-A (sIgA) were performed across 12 separate training macrocycles of 14 competitive professional matches. The NCP analysis revealed significantly higher CK values from one day after match day (MD+1) than values found in MD and MD+2 (Effect size (ES): 0.82-1.13, p<0.0033). The CP analysis revealed no significant changes in CK values between MD, MD+1 and MD+2. Higher values on MD+2 in CP vs. NCP were also revealed (ES:0.27, p<0.05). No significant changes in sCort and sIgA were observed. Congested competitive periods induce significant biochemical changes revealed amongst elite soccer players that should influence their preparation and management
Bioanalytical Approach-Ageing, Exercise and Oxidative Stress
Authors: Valado Ana
Published: January 2024

Abstract: Exercise interferes with the ageing, causing changes in markers of the antioxidant system, such as nitric oxide (NO) and uric acid. Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate if regular exercise affects the ageing process by causing changes in the antioxidant markers, nitric oxide and uric acid, in individuals aged ≥ 65 years, subjected to an exercise plan. Methods: The study involved 12 participants distributed in an experimental and control group. The experimental group performed exercises guided by a physiotherapist during 12 weeks. Three blood samples were collected from participants: T0, at the start of the study; T1, after 12 weeks of exercise and T2, 12 weeks after finishing the exercise. NO and uric acid were quantified with commercial kits. The statistics were performed using SPSS and the ANOVA and Student t-tests were applied. Result: In the experimental group, the mean values of NO showed an increase between T0 and T1, with a slight decrease between T1 and T2. Similar effects were observed for the uric acid concentration in the experimental group, with statistical significance from T0 to T1. Conclusion: After exercise, there was an increase in blood uric acid and NO levels, highlighting the importance of moderate and controlled exercise practice. Therefore, exercise seems relevant and beneficial in activating antioxidant mechanisms.
