Objective: to evaluate treatment effectiveness in patients with mycobacterial
pulmonary disease and its association with mycobacteria detection in sputum. Materials
and methods. The study enrolled 196 patients with confirmed mycobacterial pulmonary
disease. The diagnosis was established as per ATS/IDSA criteria (2007). The patients
were divided into two groups: group 1 consisted of 108 patients with nontuberculous
mycobacteria (NTM) detected in sputum; group 2 consisted of 60 patients with NTM
detected in BAL and/or lung tissue samples. Female patients prevailed (78.6%). The
average patients’ age was 56.9 ± 11.3 years. The time period from diagnosing pulmonary
mycobacterial disease to commencementof combination antibacterial therapy varied from
one month to 3.5 years. Patients were followed up during one year after treatment
completion. Results. The most commonly identified NTM were MAC (M. аvium, M.
intracellulare) and M. kansasii. The combination antibacterial therapy was administered
to 168 (85.7%) patients. Clinical cure was more frequently achieved in the patients of
group 2 compared to group 1 (21.7 and 3.7% respectively, р < 0.01). The frequency of
clinical improvement without conversion of biological samples did not significantly
differ between the groups (40 and 54.6% respectively, …). The frequency of relapse was
similar in both groups and did not exceed 5%. Conclusion. The presence of NTM in BAL
while the absence of NTM in sputum allows predicting more favourable disease course and
better response to treatment.

Learning media has a crucial role for teachers in conveying information during learning activities. However, many elementary schools currently still rely on audio-visual media and teaching aids, which can cause boredom among students during the teaching and learning process. Indonesian heroes are those who fought for Indonesian independence against the colonialists. Therefore, strategies are needed that can awaken feelings of love for the country and patriotism in children. It is hoped that the use of Android-based games as a learning medium can increase students' interest in learning, especially in understanding national heroes. The design of this multimedia application follows the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC) method with initialization, preproduction, production, testing, beta and release stages. By designing this educational game, the author hopes to help students at SD Negeri 1 Karangsentul to get to know and remember Indonesia's national hero figures, as well as increase their sense of nationalism.
Lapsen kuoleman sureminen, tunteet ja affektit
Authors: Pöllänen Pirjo , Björn Ismo
Published: April 2024

Affektit ja tunteet ovat tulleet vahvasti yhteiskunta- ja kulttuuritieteisiin, jopa niin, että puhutaan tutkimuksen affektiivisesta käänteestä (esim. Jokinen ym. 2015; Rinne ym. 2020). Kuolema on yksi emotionaalisimmista tilanteista ihmisen elämänkulussa, täynnä affekteja ja tunteita. Tässä artikkelissa pohdimme affektien ja tunteiden välistä suhdetta yhteiskuntatieteellisesti painottuneessa kuolematutkimuksessa. Tutkimuksemme keskittyy kaikkein syvimpään suruun, lapsen kuolemaan. Lähestymme sitä affektiivisena kokemuksena. Affekti on käsitteenä väljä. Se määritellään joksikin, joka on ennen tunteita, ja joka liittyy ruumiillisiin reaktioihin. Selvitämme, millaisia tunteita ja affektiivisuuksia liittyy lapsen kuolemaan. Tutkimuksessa sovelletaan kuljeskelevan etnografian menetelmää (ks. Davydova-Minguet ym. 2022), jossa kuljeskelu ei tapahdu pelkästään konkreettisissa ja fyysisissä paikoissa, vaan etsimme kuoleman affekteja ja tunteita niin ihmisten haastattelupuheesta, epävirallisista keskusteluista omaisten ja kuoleman ammattilaisten kanssa, Facebook-ryhmästä, kuin hautausmaiden hautamuistomerkeistä. Tämän laajan ja monipuolisen aineiston kautta tarkastelemme myös sitä, miten lapsensa menettänyt kohtaa ja hänet kohdataan yhteiskunnan osana, toisin sanoen miten lapsen sureminen ja sen heijastamat tunteet ja affektit rakentuvat osaksi yhteiskuntaa. Tutkimuksemme kautta tuotamme ehkä enemmän uusia kysymyksiä kuin annamme vastauksia.
MANGUEZAIS COMO ESTOQUES DE CARBONO
Authors: Braga Magda Marinho , Santos Jader Oliveira , Moro Marcelo Freire , Branco Mário Sérgio Duarte
Published: April 2024

Os manguezais são ecossistemas reconhecidos por sua grande capacidade de captação e armazenamento de carbono, tendo um papel relevante no combate aos efeitos das mudanças climáticas. Contudo, o dimensionamento do estoque de carbono na biomassa viva desse ecossistema é algo pouco documentado no Brasil. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo calcular a quantidade de carbono armazenado na vegetação do manguezal presente na Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) do Rio Pacoti, localizada no estado do Ceará, e o potencial econômico desse carbono por meio do Mercado de Crédito de Carbono. Para tal, foram selecionadas 3 áreas ao longo do estuário do rio Pacoti e realizado o inventário das árvores de mangue presente nessas parcelas. Depois, usamos equações de regressão para estimar a biomassa de cada indivíduo e com essa informação estimar a biomassa total das árvores do estuário do Pacoti. Em seguida, foi calculado o estoque de carbono presente nessa biomassa e o seu equivalente em CO2. Por fim, realizou-se a análise econômica deste estoque, utilizando a média do preço do crédito de carbono (que equivale a 1 tonelada de CO2) negociado na bolsa de valores. Os resultados indicaram que o mangue da APA do Rio Pacoti é capaz de armazenar 27,49 toneladas de CO2 por hectare, o que somam 71.545,93 tCO2 no estuário como um todo, que valem R$ 7.043.696,80 no mercado voluntário, e € 6.587.949,23 milhões de euros no mercado regulado europeu. Isso demonstra que o manguezal apresenta um grande potencial para estocar carbono e um valor pecuniário relevante, que se for bem aproveitado, pode trazer benefícios para a conservação e recuperação dessa, e de outras áreas de mangue no estado.

Este artigo apresenta um diagnóstico dos problemas socioambientais ocasionados pela exploração de ouro no município de Paracatu, no estado de Minas Gerais, onde está localizada a mina “Morro do Ouro”, uma das maiores explorações minerais a céu aberto do mundo e responsável pela maior produção do minério de ouro em território brasileiro, controlada pela canadense Kinross Gold Corporation. As atividades dessa empresa vêm acarretando riscos e impactos no lugar, tais como: descarga de contaminantes na água, no ar e no solo; impactos como os causados pelas várias explosões realizadas diariamente; e os conflitos com as comunidades tradicionais instaladas na área.  Num contexto de desastres causados por rompimentos de barragens de rejeito, as operações minerárias na área também chamam a atenção pela presença de duas barragens, sendo uma delas a maior barragem de rejeitos de minérios existente no território brasileiro. Assim, procura-se também corroborar com as denúncias para levar a público os graves danos que por diversas vezes são abafados pela mídia e pelo poder dos grupos econômicos e políticos.
Der Gewerbebegriff im Unionsrecht – Teleologisch-funktionale Kriterienbildung durch autonome und richtlinienkonforme Auslegung
Authors: Fritz Dennis
Published: April 2024

In einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Normen im Primär-, Sekundär- und nationalen Umsetzungsrecht kommt der Begriff des Gewerbes vor. Daher muss es einen eigenständigen unionsrechtlichen Gewerbebegriff geben. Dennoch ziehen deutsche Gerichte und die Literatur ganz überwiegend uneingeschränkt die zum nationalen Gewerbebegriff entwickelten Kriterien heran. Mit den Fragen, welche Maßstäbe bei der Kriterienbildung eines unionsrechtlichen Gewerbebegriffs zu beachten und welche Kriterien gegebenenfalls normübergreifend prägend sind, hat sich die Literatur bislang noch nicht auseinandergesetzt. Diese Lücke will der vorliegende Beitrag schließen.

Der Film ist Teil einer außergewöhnlich breiten Rezeption des biblischen Hiobbuches in Kultur und Religionskultur seit seiner Entstehung vor etwa 2500 Jahren. Beginnend mit Michael Kehlmanns Verfilmung des bekannten Romans "Hiob" von Joseph Roth analysiert der Band elf Spielfilme, die sich explizit oder implizit auf Motive und Themen des biblischen Hiobbuches beziehen, und untersucht, wie sie den Diskurs über die Hiob-Erfahrung unschuldigen Leidens und ihre Verarbeitung im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert weiterführen - darunter schwarze Komödien wie Adams Äpfel oder A Serious Man und existenzielle Dramen wie A Tree of Life, The broken Circle, Leviathan und First Reformed. Eine Zusammenschau zeigt vor dem Hintergrund der religionshermeneutischen Analysen der wichtigsten Hiobfilme der letzten Jahrzehnte neue Antworten auf Hiobs Fragen.
Gerichtsstandsvereinbarungen und Schiedsvereinbarungen im Vergleich

Published: April 2024

Both international choice of court agreements and arbitration agreements allow contracting parties to regulate in advance where and how potentially arising disputes are to be settled. The fact that both types of agreements fulfill the same function is not reflected in statutory framework. While choice of court agreements are governed in particular by Sections 38 and 40 of the German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO) and the Brussels Ibis Regulation, arbitration agreements are governed by the Tenth Book of the ZPO and international conventions. The thesis examines and compares the relevant provisions in seven legal sources. In doing so, it identifies similarities as well as contradictions, for example in the area of consumer protection.
Cybergossip in adolescence: Its relationship with social competency, empathy, emotions in online communication and socio-emotional e-competencies by gender and age
Authors: Cebollero-Salinas Ana , Orejudo-Hernández Santos , Cano-Escoriaza Jacobo
Published: April 2024

Cybergossip involves making evaluative comments about third parties through digital devices, a behaviour accentuated by the use of social networks and associated with the intensification of cyberbullying, especially among adolescents. Certain studies suggest that there may be a relationship between cybergossip and socio-emotional variables. However, few studies have analysed this, and even fewer have considered a further series of variables that are evaluated in the online environment, taking into account gender and age differences. Thus, the aim of this study is to analyse the predictive capacity of social competency, empathy, emotional online content (e-motions), and socio-emotional e-competencies in relation to cybergossip. In order to achieve this, we conducted a large-scale survey among Spanish adolescents (n = 992) aged 12–16 (54.4% girls, M = 13.80, and SD = 1.27). Results showed that cybergossip increases with age, with a similar frequency in boys and girls. Regression analysis showed that the variables we evaluated in the online environment can improve our knowledge about cybergossip in relation to social competency and empathy. Moreover, e-motions, which tend to come into play in the transmission of online messages, increase the frequency of cybergossip. Socio-emotional e-competencies, however, can reduce its occurrence, thereby helping adolescents adapt to online interaction environments. Certain socio-emotional e-competencies stand out: e-regulation of emotions in girls, e-self-control of impulsivity in boys, and emotional e-independence in both genders and in older adolescents. Finally, we highlight the need for adolescents to develop specific online emotional competencies.

Published: April 2024

O artigo analisa os questionamentos em torno da ordem política global, construída em bases solidaristas-maximalistas, a partir da crise da globalização. Esta ordem, que foi novo paradigma nas relações internacionais, baseou-se em aspectos fundamentais – cooperação, multilateralismo, governança, participação ampliada, com o surgimento da sociedade civil global – que passaram a ser desafiados por outras concepções, marcadas pela crítica à globalização, pelo protecionismo econômico e pelo nacionalismo. Baseado em pesquisa na literatura a respeito do tema, são discutidas as perspectivas de mudança da ordem internacional a partir das bases e características do atual modelo, apontando seus limites e possibilidades no século XXI, concluindo que não há alternativa clara e objetiva ao modelo construído em bases solidaristas-maximalistas.

Given the existing literature on text summarization that documents what learners, particularly younger learners, cannot do, a study was designed to assess what fifth-grade students can do. Thirty students at two reading levels read an expository text, produced a summary, reflected on the summarizing process, and identified good and bad summaries for the text. Both successful and less successful readers were fairly adept at recognizing good summaries, but proficiency group differences emerged for production and reflection measures. Readers in both proficiency groups performed at below-ceiling levels on the production and reflection measures.

Mitigating Off-Gassing and Self-Heating in Fuel Wood Pellets Storage: A Raw Materials Selection and Pre-Treatment Centred Approach
Authors:   , Siwale Workson
Published: April 2024

Wood pellets have become a preferred solid biomass fuel for heat and power generation due to their standardized nature, known properties, and consistent quality. However, pellets produced from fresh sawdust sometimes undergo self-heating and off-gassing and this poses a challenge for their transportation and storage. The aim of this thesis was to increase the body of knowledge towards understanding the mechanisms underlying the self-heating and off-gassing of wood pellets. The results from paper I showed that the total amount of extractives in the raw material has little effect on off-gassing. Although pellets produced from Scots pine sawdust with lower extractive contents exhibited reduced concentrations of off-gasses; CO, CO2 and CH4, increasing the extractive content of the sawdust through the addition of additive oils did not result in increased off-gas emissions. The results of pure cellulose pellets with added additive oils showed that off-gassing is influenced by the type of extractives in the raw material (paper II). The highest concentrations of off-gasses were recorded from pure cellulose pellets with added linseed oil due to their high content of unsaturated fatty acids of 73.9% linolenic and 7.6% linoleic. The results from papers III and IV indicated significant effects of both raw material and drying temperature on off-gassing and self-heating of wood pellets. There was a strong linear correlation between off-gassing and the sapwood content of the raw material, with correlation coefficient (R) values greater than 0.9 at p < 0.001 for all the off-gases (paper III). An increase in sapwood content led to a significant increase in off-gassing of CO2, CO and CH4, and O2 consumption. Storing of sawdust for over six months prior to pellet production, and increasing the drying temperature led to a significant reduction in off-gassing for sapwood pellets. For heartwood pellets, increasing the drying temperature resulted in increased off-gassing while raw material storage had no effect. In the other study (paper IV), the pellets produced from Scots pine mature wood sawdust were more prone to self-heating and off-gassing compared to those produced from juvenile wood sawdust. Steam drying the sawdust at high temperature led to a significant reduction in heat and gas generation for both materials. The overall results indicated that a biological process, in combination with the chemical oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids lay behind the self-heating and off-gassing of wood pellets.
SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON OSTEOARTHRITIS MANAGEMENT: INSIGHTS AND CHALLENGES
Authors:   Department of Sociology, Faculty of Sociology and Social Work, University of Bucharest, Nicolau Andreea-Alexandra
Published: April 2024

This study examines how medical sociology intersects with osteoarthritis management, with both the perspectives of individuals affected by the condition and the healthcare system, drawing insights from theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence. Two main themes were addressed: gender disparities and the living experience with osteoarthritis. It was found that the female gender is more susceptible to developing knee osteoarthritis due to lifestyle factors and other environmental influences. Additionally, women tend to report pain earlier compared to men, leading to a higher likelihood of seeking medical attention for symptoms. Regarding the experience of living with this condition, important themes such as the refusal to give up, pragmatism in treatment, staying in charge and the care from others were presented, being essential for managing this condition. Additionally, it was discovered that better communication between doctor and patient, the exchange of specific, relevant and sufficient information, contributes to a positive experience during a medical consultation and forms the foundation of a trustworthy relationship between the individual and the healthcare system. Overall, this research shows that managing osteoarthritis is complex and requires personalized healthcare approaches.
Keywords: osteoarthritis, medical sociology, gender disparities, living experience, management.

Published: April 2024

This scientific article has the objectives to examine the impact of depression on people experiencing chronic low back pain. Recognizing the bidirectional relationship between these conditions, the study aims to elucidate the various consequences of depressive symptoms on pain perception, functional impairment and overall quality of life among patients with chronic low back pain. Material and methods: A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted to identify relevant studies, clinical trials and meta-analyses published between 1990 and 2023. The search included electronic databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE and PsycINFO. Results: Literature synthesis reveals that depression significantly amplifies the symptomatology of chronic low back pain, influencing various areas of a patient’s life. Key findings include decreased pain threshold by exacerbating the perception of pain intensity and duration, slowing the recovery and rehabilitation process, and decreasing health-related quality of life, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach to both conditions. Conclusion: The article highlights the pervasive and interconnected nature of depression and chronic low back pain. The issues presented highlight the profound impact of depression on patients with chronic low back pain, highlighting the importance of integrated interventions that address both physical and mental health aspects of those affected.

Painful spine conditions are common among the general population, the incidence of this symptom being very high among all ages, but especially after forty years. Rehabilitation of patients with low back pain is very important because episodes of back pain constitute the second leading symptom prompting patients to seek evaluation by a physician. Consequently, the goals of the clinicians evaluating patients with an episode of low back pain are to have a differential diagnosis of the condition and its etiology, to rule out radiculopathy or other severe medical causes, to establish a rehabilitation plan that aims to prevent recurrence of this episode and to formulate a management plan if the condition does not improve promptly. Therefore, it is required to overview the spine pathophysiological changes that can cause low back pain in order to provide the best treatment options for the patients, according to their medical and social history, and thus, increasing their overall quality of life.
Keywords: back pain, rehabilitation, physical modalities, exercise, disability.

Authors: Matić Petar , Mijatović Marko
Published: April 2024

The aim of this work is the analysis of local elections in the Republic of Serbia, which, along with the national, parliamentary and provincial elections in Vojvodina, were held in 66 cities, municipalities and urban municipalities in central Serbia. The above - mentioned local elections were largely held at the initiative of the ruling party - SNS, and were called after early resignations of local leaders - in Belgrade under the strong pressure from a large part of the opposition public and in the other local self-governments they were held probably because of expectation of achieving very good results in specific local governments. These elections were an opportunity to measure the political strength of the ruling parties and the opposition from the national level, as well as minority parties and groups of citizens and local movements. Exceptional political dynamics in Serbia were also shown in these elections, and their full resolution was not achieved even months after they were held, but this election cycle was also an introduction to new political tensions and additional polarization, primarily in the capital, Belgrade.

Autoritarismo en el sureste asiático: factores internos y contexto internacional
Authors: Delage Fernando
Published: April 2024

A pesar de las expectativas generadas por un proceso de modernización política que comenzó en 1986 en Filipinas y continuó en Tailandia e Indonesia en la década siguiente, la democracia en el sureste asiático –una región de más de 650 millones de habitantes con una creciente relevancia económica y geopolítica en la escena global– ha retrocedido desde principios de siglo. Aunque la mitad de sus Estados celebran elecciones regularmente, una «consolidación democrática» está lejos de lograrse. Una extensa literatura académica ha estudiado las causas del fenómeno, pero la atención se ha centrado en factores internos, como la debilidad de las instituciones, las desigualdades sociales, los conflictos étnicos y religiosos, o la falta de consenso sobre la identidad nacional. El objetivo de este artículo es el de añadir otra perspectiva, examinando la interacción entre la trayectoria política de la región y los cambios en la estructura del sistema internacional. Mediante el análisis de cuatro etapas históricas sucesivas, se demuestra cómo las fuerzas externas han constituido una variable adicional que explica la persistencia del autoritarismo.
Fratelli d’Italia: entre la herencia neofascista, el populismo y el conservadurismo
Authors: Tarchi Marco
Published: April 2024

El fulgurante ascenso electoral de Fratelli d’Italia, que ha pasado del 1,9% al 26% en menos de diez años, y el nombramiento de su líder Giorgia Meloni como primera ministra, han suscitado numerosas preguntas, tanto en la comunidad científica como en los medios de comunicación, sobre la naturaleza de este partido: sobre sus raíces ideológicas, su estrategia, la fisonomía desu clase dirigente y sus vínculos internacionales. Se han hecho propuestas muy diferentes para clasificar a este actor político, adscribiéndolo a la extrema derecha, a la derecha radical populista, al neofascismo. La intención de este artículo, que reconstruye la trayectoria del FdI desde su fundación hasta nuestros días y sitúa su genealogía en el contexto de los acontecimientos de la derecha italiana, es demostrar que pertenece a otra familia política, la nacional-conservadora.
Development of a predictive model for hypoxia due to sedatives in gastrointestinal endoscopy: a prospective clinical study in Korea
Authors: Choe Jung Wan , Hyun Jong Jin , Son Seong-Jin , Lee Seung-Hak
Published: April 2024

Background/Aims: Sedation has become a standard practice for patients undergoing gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. However, considering the serious cardiopulmonary adverse events associated with sedatives, it is important to identify patients at high risk. Machine learning can generate reasonable prediction for a wide range of medical conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with sedation during GI endoscopy and develop a predictive model for hypoxia during endoscopy under sedation.Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 446 patients who underwent sedative endoscopy at the Korea University Ansan Hospital. Clinical data were used as predictor variables to construct predictive models using the random forest method that is a machine learning algorithm.Results: Seventy-two of the 446 patients (16.1%) experienced life-threatening hypoxia requiring immediate medical intervention. Patients who developed hypoxia had higher body weight, body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, and Mallampati scores. Propofol alone and higher initial and total dose of propofol were significantly associated with hypoxia during sedative endoscopy. Among these variables, high BMI, neck circumference, and Mallampati score were independent risk factors for hypoxia. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the random forest-based predictive model for hypoxia during sedative endoscopy was 0.82 (95% confidence interval, 0.79–0.86) and displayed a moderate discriminatory power.Conclusions: High BMI, neck circumference, and Mallampati score were independently associated with hypoxia during sedative endoscopy. We constructed a model with acceptable performance for predicting hypoxia during sedative endoscopy.
Electrolysers, Fuel Cells and Batteries: Analytical modelling
Authors: Haverkort Willem
Published: April 2024

Electrochemical engineering deals with electrochemical devices like electrolysers, fuel cells, and batteries. While several excellent books exist in this long-standing and still growing field, their focus is usually on chemistry or phenomenology. In this textbook, we focus on mathematical modelling of the physical phenomena involved. Instead of resorting to numerical modelling, the aim is to derive simplified analytical models that maximise understanding. Porous electrodes, ion mass transport, and multiphase flow are central themes in this book. Examples include modelling the water saturation in a fuel cell diffusion layer, the gas fraction and current distribution in an alkaline water electrolyser, the potential distribution in a binary electrolyte inside a porous battery electrode, and the concentration distribution in the flow channel of a redox flow battery. This makes for a diverse, challenging, and stimulating journey, for both students and researchers.
States’ Extraterritorial Jurisdiction for Climate-Related Impacts
Authors: Rocha Armando
Published: April 2024

States’ extraterritorial jurisdiction was one of the hot topics decided by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Duarte Agostinho. Strictly speaking, the “lack of it” led the ECtHR to declare the complaint inadmissible with respect to all defendant States except Portugal. This finding is in line with previous ECtHR case law but highlights a gap in human rights protection and creates a mismatch between the ECtHR’s case law and that of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

The history of the spread of islam in india and its relationship with islam in the archipelago: a critical review
Authors: Thosimah  , Khair Fathul , Umar Suyono , Muslikhin Jundil Islam Muhammad
Published: April 2024

This study describes the history of the spread of Islam in India and its relationship with the Archipelago. This study uses historical methods and a sociological approach. This research is a library research with a research focus, namely how is the history of the arrival of Islam in the Indian region? and How is the relationship between Indian Islam and Nusantara Islam? The results of this research are that the early history of the entry of Indian Islam is divided into two, namely formal and non-formal. The formal spread of Islam, namely the spread during the time of the Prophet, at that time many Jat (Indian) tribes lived in Arabia and some became physicians who healed the illness of Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, who was eventually appointed as his khadimah. The spread in the Rashidun khulafaur era at the time of Umar bin Khatab who carried out the expansion which was then continued by the next government until the Umayyads and the dynasties after it such as the Ghazni dynasty, Ghuri, the Delhi sultanate, the Khalji dynasty, Tughlaq, Sayyid, and finally the Mughal dynasty. non-formal, namely by trade, figures of Alim Ulama and marriage. Meanwhile, the relationship between India and the Archipelago occurred because of trade routes which later led to the entry of Islam. The strongest theory of Islamization in the archipelago was carried out by traders from Gujarat. This theory is believed from the many historical evidences, one of which is the legacy of Malik al Saleh who came from Bangala
