Published: April 2023

The kings of the inhabitants of Mesopotamia have been constructing different buildings with various purposes, as required by the religious, political, defense, economic and social needs of those buildings. These buildings were distinguished by their different planning according to the purpose of their construction, but they shared many components, the most important of which are building materials and the main purpose of them is to serve the king or ruler and society. The fortresses are among the architectural manifestations in the civilization of Mesopotamia, and they reflect in their planning and construction an important architectural thought that indicates important political, fortification and economic dimensions, as its planning was linked to these civilizational topics. Through the various cuneiform texts with various purposes, we find that they have highlighted important and valuable information about those fortresses, their beginning, their purpose, and when they are urgently needed, and whether they are necessary to build or can they be dispensed with. Through preliminary induction of cuneiform texts, we find that the ancient kings and rulers built these fortresses for a necessary purpose that was directly related to the defensive aspect of the city and its residents, and they differ in their sizes depending on the location of the city, its large size, the population census and its political status. Through our research, we shed light on the most important cultural data related to the fortresses, what they are, the most important names, the places in which they are located, the building materials constructed from them, as well as highlighting the cuneiform texts related to each of these cultural colors associated with the forts.

The next phase of digital transformation will be propelled by technologies like blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI). In this paper, we suggest that the convergence of these technologies will make possible novel forms of enterprise. Future autonomous agents will function as autonomous profit centers that have a digital twin leveraging IoT, send and receive money leveraging blockchain technology, and autonomously make decisions as independent economic agents utilizing artificial intelligence and data analytics. Further, we suggest that this convergence will propel the creation of such autonomous business models and, by extension, the digital transformation of industrial conglomerates.

Published: April 2023

The research aims to show the importance and influence of the strategic leadership in the Iraqi Ministry of Health in the research community, as well as to diagnose the reality of the research variables in the study community and to indicate the type of relationship between them. They were erased based on ready-made standards, and the questionnaire was distributed to a sample of (100) individuals who work in senior and middle leadership positions within the organizational structure of the ministry. For the purpose of analyzing the questionnaire and drawing conclusions from it, the program (SPSS V.25) was used, and a number of statistical methods were used. Including the arithmetic mean, median, standard deviation, and confirmatory factor analysis. The research has reached a number of results, the most important of which are the workers' emotional attachment to the ministry concerned with the study. However, this feeling diminishes due to the safety needs provided by the ministry to workers in the field of pension services, or the extent to which workers feel about the ministry's problems. It is not recommended that the researcher stressed the necessity of activating the employee's sense of the ministry's problems, through activating the incentive system, and granting the employees the right to participate in the profits or the right of ownership, as is generalized. And so in the developed countries of the world.

Published: April 2023

Objectives. The problem of developing a method for calculating small-sized spectral features that increases the efficiency of existing machine learning systems for analyzing and classifying voice signals is being solved.

Methods. Spectral features are extracted using a generative approach, which involves calculating a discrete Fourier spectrum for a sequence of samples generated using an autoregressive model of input voice signal. The generated sequence processed by the discrete Fourier transform considers the periodicity of the transform and thereby increase the accuracy of spectral estimation of analyzed signal.

Results. A generative method for calculating spectral features intended for use in machine learning systems for the analysis and classification of voice signals is proposed and described. An experimental analysis of the  accuracy and stability of the spectrum representation of a test signal with a known spectral composition has been carried out using the envelopes. The envelopes were calculated using  proposed generative method and using discrete Fourier transform with different analysis windows (rectangular window and Hanna window).  The analysis showed that spectral envelopes obtained using the proposed method more accurately represent the spectrum of test signal according to the criterion of minimum square error. A comparison of the effectiveness of voice signal classification with proposed features and the features based on the mel-frequency kepstral  coefficients is carried out. A diagnostic system for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was used as a basic test system to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed approach in practice. 

Conclusion. The obtained experimental results showed a significant increase of classification accuracy when using proposed approach for calculating features compared with the features based on the mel-frequency kepstral coefficients.
2D physically unclonable functions of the arbiter type
Authors: Yarmolik V. N. , Ivaniuk A. A.
Published: April 2023

Objectives. The problem of constructing a new class of physically unclonable functions of the arbiter type (APUF) is being solved, based on the difference in delay times for the inputs of numerous modifications of the base element, due to both an increase in the number of inputs and the topology of their connection. Such an  approach allows building two-dimensional physically unclonable functions (2D-APUF), in which, unlike  classical APUF, the challenge generated for each basic element selects a pair of paths not from two possible, but from a larger number of them. The relevance of such a study is associated with the active development of  physical cryptography. The following goals are pursued in the work: the construction of the basic elements of the APUF and their modifications, the development of a methodology for constructing 2D-APUF.

Methods. The methods of synthesis and analysis of digital devices are used, including those based on  programmable logic integrated circuits, the basics of Boolean algebra and circuitry. 

Results. It is shown that the classical APUF uses a standard basic element that performs two functions,  namely, the function of choosing a pair of paths Select and the function of switching paths Switch, which, due to their joint use, allow achieving high performance. First of all, this concerns the stability of the APUF functioning, which is characterized by a small number of challenge, for which the response randomly takes one of two  possible values 0 or 1. Modifications of the base element in terms of the implementations of its Select and Switch functions are proposed. New structures of the base element are presented in which the modifications of their  implementations are made, including in terms of increasing the number of pairs of paths of the base element from which one of them is selected by the challenge, and the configurations of their switching. The use of  various basic elements makes it possible to improve the main characteristics of APUF, as well as to break the regularity of their structure, which was the main reason for hacking APUF through machine learning. 

Conclusion. The proposed approach to the construction of physically unclonable 2D-APUF functions, based on the difference in signal delays through the base element, has shown its efficiency and promise. The effect of improving the characteristics of such PUFs has been experimentally confirmed with noticeable improvement in the stability of their functioning. It seems promising to further develop the ideas of constructing two-dimensional physically unclonable functions of the arbiter type, as well as experimental study of their characteristics, as well as resistance to various types of attacks, including using machine learning.

Anak adalah anugerah yang diberikan oleh Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, yang harus kita lindungi, dan dijaga karena setiap anak juga memiliki hak untuk hidup. Semakin banyaknya kasus pelecehan seksual kepada anak di bawah umur yang dilakukan oleh orang dewasa yang terjadi di lingkungan sekitarnya membuktikan bahwa perlindungan terhadap anak masih minim serta dapat menyebabkan trauma dan luka fisik yang dirasakan anak sebagai korban pelecehan seksual. Pelecehan seksual kepada anak harus ditangani dengan tindakan yang tepat, agar dapat dicegah. Pencegahan tersebut dapat diterapkan dengan pendidikan seks, yang dilakukan oleh orang tua dan para pihak lain termasuk sekolah. Upaya-upaya perlindungan anak harus dilakukan sejak dini, agar anak dapat menjadi penerus bangsa dan negara secara optimal. Maka dari itu penegakan hukum terhadap tindak pidana pelecehan seksual kepada anak di bawah umur harus di kaji untuk meningkatkan perlindungan hak dan kesejahteraan setiap anak.

Pathogenic bacteria can interfere with the body health by producing toxic substances, damaging body tissues, multiplying and killing healthy body cells. Therefore, it is crucial to explore safe alternative treatment strategies, such as developing natural bactericidal agents to eradicate infections. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) has potential as an antibacterial, so it is important to study its activity in inhibiting pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial activity and inhibition mechanism of red ginger extract as an inhibitor of pathogenic bacterial infection. Methods such as dilution, Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion, and an inhibition test mechanism using a spectrophotometer and SEM were conducted in this study. Red ginger ethanol extract can inhibit the growth of Salmonela thypi, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus mutans at a concentration of 500 µg/mL, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa at a concentration of 250 µg/mL. Further observation of bacterial cell leakage showed that the higher the red ginger ethanol extract concentration, the higher the bacterial cell leakage. Based on SEM results, the quantity of S. thypi, S. epidermidis, and S. mutans after treatment with red ginger ethanol extract decreased, and the cell wall became wrinkled and destroyed. The ethanol extract of the red ginger rhizome can be recommended as a future antibacterial agent, especially for infections caused by pathogenic bacteria.

Published: April 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, which produces free radicals, particularly reactive oxygen species (ROS), through glucose auto-oxidation and glycosylation. Administration of antioxidants and polyphenolic compound components can capture free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Polyphenols are also able to reduce blood glucose levels by inhibiting the action of amylase enzymes as carbohydrate catabolism so that glucose absorption does not occur. One of the plants that contain polyphenols is Black Turmeric (Curcuma caesia). Some studies on the rhizomes of this plant include methanol extracts containing phenolics, Flavonoids, alkaloids, triterpenoids, saponins, and tannins. Dry powders and wet rhizome powders were studied to have antioxidant activity. Research on the inhibition of the enzyme alfa amylase is still lacking. This study aims to determine the content of chemical compounds using 70% ethanol solvent. The total phenolic and flavonoid assay with spectrophotometry, determine antioxidant activity using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) at 490 nm and inhibition of α-amylase enzyme using 3,5- dinitro salicylic acid (DNS) at 529 nm. The results showed that phenolic levels were 235 mgGAE/100gr, flavonoids were 61 mg QE/100gr, Alkaloids 30 mg Quinine /100gr and saponin 158 mg Quillaja bark/100gr, dan tannin 535mg tannic acid/100gr. DPPH antioxidant activity obtained IC50 value of 299,18 µg/mLµg/mL and α- amylase inhibitory 50,26 µg/mLµg/mL. The research showed that 70% ethanol extract Curcuma caesia roxb contains phenolic, flavonoids, alkaloids, quinine, and saponins constituents and have been antioxidant activity and high α-amylase inhibitory

Image processing is the most effective method for enhancement and segmentation of tuberculosis bacilli in sputum smear samples. Improper straining can result in poor screening results such as over-staining, under-staining, and blurred images. The goal is to find an image enhancement and segmentation technique that will prepare the image for feature extraction. There are still some shortcomings with existing method when it is implemented on Ziehl Neelsen images. In normal images, TB bacilli can be identified easily, but in blur and images with dark background, TB bacilli are sometimes hidden behind the sputum cells. Hence, the basic method of contrast enhancement is not enough to improve the contrast of TB bacilli as the object of interest within the image. In this study, the combination of local and partial contrast enhancement is proposed as the best method for image enhancement. Image segmentation can be accomplished using Otsu thresholding technique. Otsu's method is presented as most suitable image processing techniques in this paper. The goal of the Otsu Threshold is to find a threshold value that distinguishes the object of interest from the background. Experiment shows that the combination of local and partial contrast enhancement followed by Otsu’s method achieve an average segmentation accuracy of 98.93% when applied on 50 images of sputum smear.

Published: April 2023

Without embracing environmental sustainability (ES), the universal concept of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cannot be achieved in today's world. As an inseparable part of SDGs, ES can help the nations to fulfil the goal of Agenda 2030. The world, particularly the developing countries, is now encountering several environmental problems, including carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, hazardous pollution, climate change, global warming, floods, droughts, deforestation, excessive and less rainfall crisis, scarcity of food, water and other natural resources, misuse and overconsumption of natural resources, and loss of biodiversity. All these factors heavily impact our natural environment and cause irreparable loss. Our study finds that with unsustainable socio-economic development, environmental degradation is rising worldwide. We argue that human activities in the name of development are the main reasons for destroying the environment and natural resources. In this study, we explore that despite taking significant initiatives by the United Nations engaging the member countries to protect the earth from the aboementioned environmental problems, these problems are still prevalent in many countries in the world. Our study finds that irresponsible human activities primarily hinder sustainable development progress, which is essential for present and future generations. In this article, we find that embracing the environmental sustainability approach for all countries is necessary to ensure holistic sustainable development.

Authors: KUSUMA Adhi
Published: April 2023

Facing a new environment, the differences in values, culture, norms, language styles, and social behavior between the Alor and Sundanese have created a space for ethnogenesis that is faced with being able to adapt to each other in interacting and coexisting. Through the formation of communication and the process of adaptation, it is the starting point for the Alor people to improve the quality of life in terms of education, economy, social, politics and culture. This article aims to reflect on the process of interaction, communication interaction patterns and the process of adaptation of the Alor people to the Sundanese based on the Anxiety/Uncertainty Management Theory approach. Descriptive qualitative method by prioritizing the post-positivist paradigm was used on six purposive sample informants which were taken based on the Snowball sampling technique. This study shows that interaction occurs as an interest in realizing a harmonious life through verbal and non-verbal communication interaction patterns according to Sundanese cultural characteristics and the reflection of the adaptation process carried out is seen from three dimensions, namely cognitive, affective, and behavioral. Alor people learn language styles, values, manners, social behavior, prioritize indigenous culture, put aside personal culture, and promote good socialization by the Alor people towards the Sundanese.

Authors: SURAKHMAD Winna Ananda
Published: April 2023

In the industry world, a successful business is highly dependent on effective globalization (Toomey, 1999:4). And effective globalization is linked with diverse workforce, workers who come from diverse cultural backgrounds. This opens up many opportunities, especially for high-skilled immigrants or expatriates, but at the same time it also provides room for uncertainty in how individuals construct their identities. This uncertainty may trigger tension between individuals in their daily interactions. This study aimed to determine how high-skilled immigrants carry out identity negotiation in a culturally diverse work environment. The framework of thought in this research was mainly Stella Ting-Toomey's theory of identity negotiation. The method used in this research was phenomenology. The primary data of this study were the results of interviews with employees in culturally diverse companies and were supported by secondary data in the form of direct observations at the research site. The main findings of this study include how the values of a culturally diverse company provide climate that supports the identity negotiation process among high-skilled immigrant individuals within it.

Published: April 2023

Sexual violence is a term that refers to derivative sexual behavior or relationships that are distorted, harming the victim and destroying peace in society, for example, cases of sexual violence that occur to women (including girls) are carried out by those closest to them. Based on the fact sheets in the 2020 Komnas Perempuan Annual Records, sexual violence was perpetrated by 1,528 boyfriends, 425 biological fathers, 322 uncles, 205 stepfathers, 192 husbands, 89 siblings, and 58 biological grandfathers. This research is a normative legal research. One form of violence against women is sexual violence. From the available data it appears that sexual violence in places against women is as much as non-sexual violence. In our country's Criminal Code it only includes articles on rape or obscenity, this is what is then from a human rights perspective, the position of women's human rights feels humiliated and even abused, while human rights issues in our country already have rules that regulate and even guarantee human rights guarantees for everyone. namely Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights

Published: April 2023

SX Phoenicis (SXP) variables are short-period pulsating stars that exhibit a period–luminosity (PL) relation. We derived the gri-band PL and extinction-free period–Wesenheit (PW) relations, as well as the period-color and reddening-free period-Q-index relations for 47 SXP stars located in 21 globular clusters, using the optical light curves taken from Zwicky Transient Facility. These empirical relations were derived for the first time in the gri filters except for the g-band PL relation. We used our gi-band PL and PW relations to derive a distance modulus to Crater II dwarf spheroidal which hosts one SXP variable. Assuming that the fundamental and first-overtone pulsation mode for the SXP variable in Crater II, we found distance moduli of 20.03 ± 0.23 mag and 20.37 ± 0.24 mag, respectively, using the PW relation, where the latter is in excellent agreement with independent RR Lyrae based distance to Crater II dwarf galaxy.
Mode Mixing and Rotational Splittings. II. Reconciling Different Approaches to Mode Coupling
Authors: Ong 王 J. M. Joel 加冕 , Gehan Charlotte
Published: April 2023

In the mixed-mode asteroseismology of subgiants and red giants, the coupling between the p- and g-mode cavities must be understood well in order to derive localized estimates of interior rotation from measurements of mode multiplet rotational splittings. There exist now two different descriptions of this coupling: one based on an asymptotic quantization condition, and the other arising from the coupling matrices associated with “acoustic molecular orbitals.” We examine the analytic properties of both, and derive closed-form expressions for various quantities—such as the period-stretching function τ—which previously had to be solved for numerically. Using these, we reconcile both formulations for the first time, deriving relations by which quantities in each formulation may be translated to and interpreted within the other. This yields an information criterion for whether a given configuration of mixed modes may meaningfully constrain the parameters of the asymptotic construction, which is likely not satisfied by the majority of first-ascent red giant stars in our observational sample. Since this construction has been already used to make rotational measurements of such red giants, we examine—through a hare-and-hounds exercise—whether, and how, such limitations affect these existing measurements. While averaged estimates of core rotation seem fairly robust, template-matching using the asymptotic construction has difficulty reliably assigning rotational splittings to individual multiplets, or estimating the mixing fractions ζ of the most p-dominated mixed modes, where such estimates are most needed. We finally discuss implications for extending the two-zone model of radial differential rotation, e.g., via rotational inversions, with these methods.
Dropping Anchor: Understanding the Populations of Binary Black Holes with Random and Aligned-spin Orientations
Authors: Baibhav Vishal , Doctor Zoheyr , Kalogera Vicky
Published: April 2023

The relative spin orientations of black holes (BHs) in binaries encode their evolutionary history: BHs assembled dynamically should have isotropically distributed spins, while spins of BHs originating in the field should be aligned with the orbital angular momentum. In this article, we introduce a simple population model for these dynamical and field binaries that uses spin orientations as an anchor to disentangle these two evolutionary channels. We then analyze binary BH mergers in the Third Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3) and ask whether BHs from the isotropic-spin population possess different distributions of mass ratios, spin magnitudes, or redshifts from the preferentially aligned-spin population. We find no compelling evidence that binary BHs in GWTC-3 have different source-property distributions depending on their spin alignment, but we do find that the dynamical and field channels cannot both have mass-ratio distributions that strongly favor equal masses. We give an example of how this can be used to provide insights into the various processes that drive these BHs to merge. We also find that the current detections are insufficient in extracting differences in spin magnitude or redshift distributions of isotropic and aligned-spin populations.

The conditions under which accreting neutron stars launch radio-emitting jets and/or outflows are still poorly understood. The ultracompact X-ray binary X1850–087, located in the globular cluster NGC 6712, is a persistent atoll-type X-ray source that has previously shown unusual radio-continuum variability. Here we present the results of a pilot radio-monitoring program of X1850–087 undertaken with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, with simultaneous or quasi-simultaneous Swift/XRT data obtained at each epoch. The binary is clearly detected in the radio in two of the six new epochs. When combined with previous data, these results suggest that X1850–087 shows radio emission at a slightly elevated hard-state X-ray luminosity of L

≳ 2 × 1036 erg s−1, but no radio emission in its baseline hard state L

X
∼ 1036 erg s−1. No clear X-ray spectral changes are associated with this factor of ≳10 radio variability. At all detected epochs, X1850–087 has a flat to inverted radio spectral index, more consistent with the partially absorbed optically thick synchrotron of a compact jet rather than the evolving optically thick to thin emission associated with transient expanding synchrotron-emitting ejecta. If the radio emission in X1850–087 is indeed due to a compact jet, then it is plausibly being launched and quenched in the hard state on timescales as short as a few days. Future radio monitoring of X1850–087 could help elucidate the conditions under which compact jets are produced around hard-state accreting neutron stars.
Physical Characterization of Early Galaxies in the Webb’s First Deep Field SMACS J0723.3-7327

Published: April 2023

This paper highlights initial photometric analyses of JWST NIRCam imaging data in the sightline of SMACS0723, aiming to identify galaxies at redshift z > 7. By applying a conservative Lyman-break selection followed by photometric-redshift analysis and visual inspection, we identify four F090W-dropout and two F150W-dropout sources, three of which were recently confirmed in an independent spectroscopic analysis to z = 7.663, 7.665, and 8.499. We then supplement our sample with a photometric-redshift selection, and identify five additional candidates at 7 < z
phot < 13. The NIRCam images clearly resolve all sources and reveal their subgalactic components that were not resolved/detected in the previous imaging by Hubble Space Telescope. Our spectral energy distribution analysis reveals that the selected galaxies are characterized by young stellar populations (median age of ∼50 Myr) of subsolar metallicity (∼0.2 Z
⊙) and little dust attenuation (A

V
∼ 0.5). In several cases, we observe extreme Hβ+[O iii] lines being captured in the F444W band and seen as color excess, which is consistent with their observed high star formation rate surface density. Eight of the 11 sources identified in this study appear in at least one of the recent studies (Adams et al.; Atek et al.; Donnan et al.; Harikane et al.; Yan et al.) of the same fields, implying the high fidelity of our selection. We crossmatch all high-z galaxy candidates presented in the five studies with our catalog and discuss the possible causes of discrepancy in the final lists.

Published: April 2023

We report the first detection of hot molecular cores in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a nearby dwarf galaxy with 0.2 solar metallicity. We observed two high-mass young stellar objects in the SMC with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and detected emission lines of CO, HCO+, H13CO+, SiO, H2CO, CH3OH, SO, and SO2. Compact hot-core regions are traced by SO2, whose spatial extent is about 0.1 pc, and the gas temperature is higher than 100 K based on the rotation diagram analysis. In contrast, CH3OH, a classical hot-core tracer, is dominated by extended (∼0.2–0.3 pc) components in both sources, and the gas temperature is estimated to be

K for one source. Protostellar outflows are also detected from both sources as high-velocity components of CO. The metallicity-scaled abundances of SO2 in hot cores are comparable among the SMC, Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and Galactic sources, suggesting that the chemical reactions leading to SO2 formation would be regulated by elemental abundances. On the other hand, CH3OH shows a large abundance variation within SMC and LMC hot cores. The diversity in the initial condition of star formation (e.g., degree of shielding, local radiation field strength) may lead to the large abundance variation of organic molecules in hot cores. This work, in conjunction with previous hot-core studies in the LMC and outer/inner Galaxy, suggests that the formation of a hot core would be a common phenomenon during high-mass star formation across the metallicity range of 0.2–1 Z⊙. High-excitation SO2 lines will be a useful hot-core tracer in the low-metallicity environments of the SMC and LMC.
Le « marquage brevet » comme stratégie de signalisation : influence sur l’innovation perçue des produits et sur leur adoption

• Objectifs de la recherche Le marquage brevet offre la possibilité aux entreprises de communiquer aux consommateurs des informations sur les inventions mises en œuvre par des produits. Cependant, aucune recherche n’a mis en évidence ses effets sur les consommateurs. Cet article explore les conditions d’efficacité du marquage brevet comme une stratégie de signalisation ou de communication visant à favoriser l’adoption des produits innovants. • Méthodologie Une étude expérimentale, s’appuyant sur des produits de différentes catégories, a été conduite auprès d’un échantillon représentatif de la population française (N=547). • Résultats Nous montrons que le marquage brevet accentue la perception des dimensions constitutives de l’innovation perçue des produits (à savoir la nouveauté et l’utilité) en activant une inférence dans l’esprit des consommateurs sur les capacités de l’entreprise à développer des produits inventifs, non imitatifs et techniquement supérieurs. En conséquence, les consommateurs réagissent favorablement, en termes d’intentions d’achat et de propension à payer un surprix, aux produits faisant l’objet du marquage brevet. Nos résultats montrent également que ces effets varient en fonction du profil des consommateurs. • Implications managériales Nos résultats suggèrent aux managers et entrepreneurs de mobiliser les brevets protégeant les inventions intégrées aux produits innovants pour rendre observables les avantages et attributs technologiques de ces derniers et ainsi faciliter leur adoption par les consommateurs. • Originalité L’originalité de cet article est double. D’une part, il propose le marquage brevet comme une stratégie inédite de signalisation des produits innovants et explique dans quelle mesure elle contribue à la construction de leur innovation perçue par les consommateurs. D’autre part, il montre que le marquage brevet permet de franchir le gouffre séparant le marché de niche du marché de masse en favorisant l’adoption de l’innovation par les consommateurs pragmatiques.
Penser globalement, agir localement : une maxime pour l’écologie politique ?
Authors: Larrère Raphaël , Larrère Catherine
Published: April 2023

« Penser globalement, agir localement » ? Bien trouvée dans les années 1970 alors que la crise environnementale prenait une ampleur planétaire, la formule a perdu peu à peu de sa pertinence. Certes le global a pris de plus en plus d’importance ; c’est au niveau global que se sont concertés les scientifiques et réunis les politiques. Mais outre qu’elle a révélé ses limites (elle lance l’alerte mais ne permet pas d’agir) cette globalisation extrême a occulté les actions locales, les faisant paraître négligeables. Elles existent pourtant, multiples, vivaces, inventives. Pour dépasser la scission entre une globalité terrifiante et des localismes éparpillés, il faut réinterroger les notions de global et de local. Il ne s’agit pas tant d’opposer le global et le local que de distinguer deux types de globalisation. L’une qui homogénéise la diversité des données dans une globalité préexistante héritée de l’espace et du temps galiléo-newtoniens. L’autre, que l’on peut nommer mondialisation, qui correspond à l’ensemble des processus par lesquels les vivants, humains et non humains, se lient les uns aux autres à partir des interactions et dépendances saisies localement. Le mondial ne peut être appréhendé qu’à partir du local, c’est-à-dire des mobilisations et des actions en cours pour rendre la Terre habitable à condition que celles-ci se multiplient et se relient.
Older Adults and Late-Life Depression
Authors: Paun Olimpia
Published: April 2023

As the U.S. population ages, the prevalence of late-life depression (LLD) increases. The general assumption that depression is part of normal aging and lack of diagnostic criteria specific to older adults resulted in this condition being underdiagnosed and untreated, leading to serious public health concerns, including high rates of suicide. Because of its complex etiologies, LLD requires careful assessment, especially in older adults from diverse ethnic/racial backgrounds. Suicide risk should be thoroughly assessed, including regular follow ups. Modifiable risks, such as cardiovascular conditions, should be addressed in middle-age populations to prevent LLD. Evidence-based treatment modalities include pharmacological (less effective) and more effective nonpharmacological (i.e., neuromodulation, psychotherapy) approaches. LLD has policy and research implications. Evidence exists of a new impetus to invest federal, state, and local funding for public health programs dedicated to improving the overall health of older adults. Research is needed to measure outcomes of these programs. [
