Authors: Liu Qian , Zheng Zequan , Chen Jingsen , Tsang Winghei , Jin Shan , Zhang Yimin , Akinwunmi Babatunde , Zhang Casper JP , Ming Wai-kit
Published: July 2021

Background

Hospice care, a type of end-of-life care provided for dying patients and their families, has been rooted in China since the 1980s. It can improve receivers’ quality of life as well as ease their economic burden. The Chinese mass media have continued to actively dispel misconceptions surrounding hospice care and deliver the latest information to citizens.

Objective

This study aims to retrieve and analyze news reports on hospice care in order to gain insight into whether any differences existed in heath information delivered over time and to evaluate the role of mass media in health communication in recent years.

Methods

We searched the Huike (WiseSearch) news database for relevant news reports from Chinese mass media released between 2014 and 2019. We defined two time periods for this study: (1) January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016, and (2) January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019. The data cleaning process was completed using Python. We determined appropriate topic numbers for these two periods based on the coherence score and applied latent Dirichlet allocation topic modeling. Keywords for each topic and corresponding topics’ names were then generated. The topics were plotted into different circles, and their distances on the 2D plane was represented by multidimensional scaling.

Results

After removing duplicated and irrelevant news articles, we obtained a total of 2227 articles. We chose 8 as the suitable topic number for both study periods and generated topic names and associated keywords. The top 3 most reported topics in the first period were patient treatment, hospice care stories, and development of health care services and health insurance, accounting for 18.68% (178/953), 16.58% (158/953), and 14.17% (135/953) of the collected reports, respectively. The top 3 most reported topics in the second period were hospice care stories, patient treatment, and development of health care services, accounting for 15.62% (199/953), 15.38% (15.38/953), and 14.27% (182/953), respectively.

Conclusions

Topic modeling of news reports gives us a better understanding of the patterns of health communication about hospice care by mass media. Chinese mass media frequently reported on hospice care in April of every year on account of a traditional Chinese festival. Moreover, an increase in coverage was observed in the second period. The two periods shared 6 similar topics, of which patient treatment outstrips hospice care stories was the most reported topic in the second period, implying the humanistic spirit behind the reports. Based on the findings of this study, we suggest stakeholders cooperate with the mass media when planning to update policies.
Trends in Health Information Technology Use Among the US Population With and Without Cardiovascular Risk Factors, 2012-2018: Evidence From the National Health Interview Survey
Authors: Gandrakota Nikhila , Ali Mohammed K , Shah Megha K
Published: July 2021

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has required clinicians to pivot to offering services via telehealth; however, it is unclear which patients (users of care) are equipped to use digital health. This is especially pertinent for adults managing chronic diseases, such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, which require regular follow-up, medication management, and self-monitoring.

Objective

The aim of this study is to measure the trends and assess factors affecting health information technology (HIT) use among members of the US population with and without cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods

We used serial cross-sectional data from the National Health Interview Survey for the years 2012-2018 to assess trends in HIT use among adults, stratified by age and cardiovascular risk factor status. We developed multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, race, insurance status, marital status, geographic region, and perceived health status to assess the likelihood of HIT use among patients with and without cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Results

A total of 14,304 (44.6%) and 14,644 (58.7%) participants reported using HIT in 2012 and 2018, respectively. When comparing the rates of HIT use for the years 2012 and 2018, among participants without cardiovascular risk factors, the HIT use proportion increased from 51.1% to 65.8%; among those with one risk factor, it increased from 43.9% to 59%; and among those with more than one risk factor, it increased from 41.3% to 54.7%. Increasing trends in HIT use were highest among adults aged >65 years (annual percentage change [APC] 8.3%), who had more than one cardiovascular risk factor (APC 5%) and among those who did not graduate from high school (APC 8.8%). Likelihood of HIT use was significantly higher in individuals who were younger, female, and non-Hispanic White; had higher education and income; were married; and reported very good or excellent health status. In 2018, college graduates were 7.18 (95% CI 5.86-8.79), 6.25 (95% CI 5.02-7.78), or 7.80 (95% CI 5.87-10.36) times more likely to use HIT compared to adults without high school education among people with multiple cardiovascular risk factors, one cardiovascular risk factor, or no cardiovascular risk factors, respectively.

Conclusions

Over 2012-2018, HIT use increased nationally, with greater use noted among younger and higher educated US adults. Targeted strategies are needed to engage wider age, racial, education, and socioeconomic groups by lowering barriers to HIT access and use.
An Avatar-Led Digital Smoking Cessation Program for Sexual and Gender Minority Young Adults: Intervention Development and Results of a Single-Arm Pilot Trial
Authors: Heffner Jaimee L , Watson Noreen L , Serfozo Edit , Kelly Megan M , Reilly Erin D , Kim Daniella , Baker Kelsey , Scout N F N , Karekla Maria
Published: July 2021

Background

Sexual and gender minority young adults have a high prevalence of smoking and unique barriers to accessing tobacco treatment.

Objective

To address these challenges as well as their preferences for sexual and gender minority–targeted interventions and digital programs, we developed and evaluated the acceptability, preliminary efficacy, and impact on theory-based change processes of an acceptance and commitment therapy–based digital program called Empowered, Queer, Quitting, and Living (EQQUAL).

Methods

Participants (n=22) of a single-arm trial conducted to evaluate the program were young adults, age 18 to 30 years, who self-identified as sexual and gender minority individuals and smoked at least one cigarette per day. All participants received access to the EQQUAL program. Participants completed web-based surveys at baseline and at a follow-up 2 months after enrollment. We verified self-reported smoking abstinence with biochemical testing; missing data were counted as smoking or using tobacco.

Results

For young adults who logged in at least once (n=18), the mean number of log-ins was 5.5 (SD 3.6), mean number of sessions completed was 3.1 (SD 2.6), and 39% (7/18) completed all 6 sessions. Overall, 93% of participants (14/15) were satisfied with the EQQUAL program, 100% (15/15) found it easy to use, and 100% (15/15) said it helped them be clearer about how to quit. Abstinence from smoking or using tobacco was confirmed with biochemical testing for 23% of participants (5/22). Both quantitative and qualitative results suggested a positive overall response to the avatar guide, with areas for future improvement largely centered on the avatar’s appearance and movements.

Conclusions

Treatment acceptability of EQQUAL was very promising. The rate of abstinence, which was biochemically confirmed, was 3 times higher than that of the only other digital program to date that has targeted sexual and gender minority young adults and 6 to 13 times higher than those of nontargeted digital smoking interventions among sexual and gender minority young adults. Planned improvements for the next iteration of the program include making the avatar’s movements more natural; offering multiple avatar guides with different on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, and gender identity from which to choose; and providing a support forum for users to connect anonymously with peers.
The Influence of COVID-19 Information Sources on the Attitudes and Practices Toward COVID-19 Among the General Public of Saudi Arabia: Cross-sectional Online Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Alshareef Noor , Yunusa Ismaeel , Al-Hanawi Mohammed Khaled
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in panic among the general public, leading many people to seek out information related to COVID-19 through various sources, including social media and traditional media. Identifying public preferences for obtaining such information may help health authorities to effectively plan successful health preventive and educational intervention strategies.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the types of sources used for obtaining COVID-19 information on the attitudes and practices of the general public in Saudi Arabia during the pandemic, and to identify the socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with the use of different sources of information.

METHODS

This study used data from a cross-sectional online survey conducted on residents of Saudi Arabia from March 20 to 24, 2020. Data were analyzed using descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Bivariate analysis of categorical variables was performed to determine the associations between information sources and socioeconomic and demographic factors. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to examine whether socioeconomic and demographic variables were associated with the source of information used to obtain information about COVID-19. Moreover, univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine how sources of information influence attitudes and practices of adhering to preventive measures.

RESULTS

In this analysis of cross-sectional survey data, 3358 participants were included. Most participants reported using social media, followed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as their primary source of information. Seeking information via social media was significantly associated with lower odds of having an optimistic attitude (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.845, 95% CI 0.733-0.974; P=.02) and adhering to preventive measures (aOR 0.725, 95% CI 0.630-0.835; P<.001) compared to other sources of information. Participants who obtained their COVID-19 information via the MOH had greater odds of having an optimistic attitude (aOR 1.437, 95% CI 1.234-1.673; P<.001) and adhering to preventive measures (aOR 1.393, 95% CI 1.201-1.615; P<.001) than those who obtained information via other sources.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides evidence that different sources of information influence attitudes and preventive actions differently within a pandemic crisis context. Health authorities in Saudi Arabia should pay attention to the use of appropriate social media channels and sources to allow for more effective dissemination of critical information to the public.

Punibilidad del delito de tentativa en el Derecho penal mexicano
Authors: Bardavío Antón Carlos
Published: July 2021

En este trabajo se defiende que el fundamento de punición de la tentativa y su comienzo es idéntico en la tentativa idónea y en la tentativa inidónea. En concreto, se considera punible la tentativa inidónea, inclusive la no peligrosa para el bien jurídico, en el caso de que el quebrantamiento del rol o la ejecución del plan/representación del autor contenga el mínimo de racionalidad (Persona) en un concreto ámbito de ejecución (sistema concreto de comunicación), más allá de lo irreal y supersticioso. Amén de ello, el fundamento de la tentativa ya no podrá ser el peligro objetivo. La peligrosidad únicamente incrementará el quantum del quebrantamiento normativo, mientras que su fundamento será la imputación objetiva de la ejecución típica del dolo o la culpa. 
El Derecho romano en Las Metamorfosis de Apuleyo
Authors: Pérez Carrandi Juan
Published: July 2021

Las Metamorfosis exponen la itinerancia de un ciudadano romano por la provincia de Acaya, reflejando el ínfimo nivel de romanización del territorio. Dentro de innumerables incertezas, el personaje Lucio solo mantiene dos firmes creencias, que es ciudadano romano, y que de ello se deriva un estatus especial, superior, entre los griegos. Sin embargo, más allá de una presencia militar intermitente, la máxima autoridad romana provincial, el gobernador, transita en forma espectral por la obra y, por ende, por las tierras griegas del s. II d.C., cuando la vasta red de ciudades mantiene autonomía de gobierno, frente al resto, y frente a Roma, también en material judicial y jurisdiccional, en cuanto a la gestión de asuntos locales (que no afectan a romanos). La obra presenta igualmente una excesiva romanización de los relatos, y en ocasiones, los procesos descritos no son ubicables en la realidad legal griega del período.

El principio de interés superior del niño en la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y el Comité de Derechos del niño
Authors: Macedo Gonzáles Jesús Efrain
Published: July 2021

Este trabajo de investigación realiza análisis comparativo de criterios y conceptos establecidos sobre Interés superior del Niño desde los aportes de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH) y la Comisión de los Derechos del Niño (CDN) de la ONU, ya que la Convención de los Derechos del Niño hace una mención a este principio, sin definir la forma en la cual será aplicada por los Estados.  Así, luego de presentar los criterios a nivel consultivos y jurisdiccionales de la CIDH, y los conceptos desarrollados por el CND sobre interés superior del niño, se elabora un análisis comparativo en cuanto a similitudes o diferencias al respecto. Al final se llega a la conclusión que el Interés Superior del Niño es concepto tridimensional: como derecho sustantivo, norma de procedimiento y principio de interpretación; que se funda en la dignidad del ser humano, las características específicas de los niños, conforme a su nivel de desarrollo y que como criterio imperativo en los procesos judiciales, administrativos, y la vida de los niños tanto en lo público como en lo privado, que demanda a los Estados recursos, normas, políticas y servicios que permitan el ejercicio cabal de este principio.

Published: July 2021

Se presenta un estudio en el que se analizan las relaciones entre la lectura eficiente y la disponibilidad de representaciones ortográficas léxicas en dos muestras de estudiantes universitarios españoles y uruguayos. Mediante el uso de una metodología de análisis de regresión tratamos de explicar los resultados de una prueba de lectura eficiente (TECLE) a partir de una prueba de conocimiento ortográfico (TECOR). Los resultados permiten confirmar el importante papel que juega el léxico ortográfico en la lectura eficiente en español. Esta relación se revela más intensa en la muestra uruguaya que en la española. El patrón de resultados se interpreta en el marco de los efectos de la transparencia ortográfica en el aprendizaje de la lectura y el procesamiento lector.
EL ROL DE LA PERSONALIDAD EN LA RELACIÓN ENTRE FRUSTRACIÓN - ESTRÉS Y DIVERSAS REACCIONES AFECTIVAS: RESULTADOS DE UNA INVESTIGACIÓN
Authors: Cordero Soledad
Published: July 2021

En el presente artículo se presenta una investigación, cuyo objetivo fue estudiar y comparar la función mediadora de catorce estilos de personalidad en la relación entre el estrés y/o la frustración y el desarrollo de diversas reacciones afectivas. Se utilizaron dos muestras clínicas (n = 260) de pacientes adultos, con diversos síndromes clínicos (Eje I), asistidos ambulatoriamente en Alemania. El encuadre teórico de la investigación fue la Teoría de las Interacciones de los Sistemas de la Personalidad 1, desarrollada por Julius Kuhl (Alemania). Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que los estilos de personalidad más vulnerables a desarrollar emociones negativas tras una frustración o bajo estrés son el estilo pasivo (depresivo 2) y el impulsivo (borderline).

UN ESTUDIO DE LA REPRESENTACIÓN SOCIAL «DE LA LEY» ENTRE LOS ADOLESCENTES
Authors: Masclet Johanne
Published: July 2021

El actual contexto social nos lleva a plantear la temática de la relación existente entre los adolescentes y la ley. A comienzos del siglo pasado, Piaget intentó comprenderla por medio del estudio del juicio moral en el niño. Desde entonces, los trabajos sobre el tema no han cesado de evolucionar. Para este estudio relacionamos Ley/Derecho y Psicología y hemos estudiado la representación social de la Ley en tres poblaciones: alumnos de secundaria, profesores de secundaria y abogados. Presentamos la hipótesis de que, dependiendo del contexto y experiencia social, las representaciones sociales de la Ley de las diferentes muestras, contribuirán a la diferenciación entre éstas últimas, así como entre diferentes niveles de contenido o estructura. La muestra empleada para este estudio está compuesta por 338 sujetos distribuidos de la siguiente manera: 196 estudiantes de secundaria de 3er año, 78 profesores de secundaria, 64 abogados. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, optamos por emplear la teoría del núcleo central de la escuela Aixois, adaptada para nuestra investigación. Se empleó un método de asociación de palabras, conteniendo la frase “la Ley” para la recogida de datos. El método fila/frecuencia (Cañas, 1972; Abric, 2003) fue el seleccionado para la implementación. Por último, utilizando el índice de Jaccard, intentamos comprender la estructura de las representaciones sociales.
LAS MIGRACIONES INTERNACIONALES, NUEVAS IDENTIDADES, NUEVAS CIUDADANÍAS
Authors: Labrador Fernández Jesús
Published: July 2021

Las migraciones contemporáneas están interpelando directamente tanto la idea de identidad y de identidad nacional como la idea de ciudadanía. En un mundo cada vez más acelerado y en el que interviene una mayor diversidad los procesos de construcción de la identidad son cada vez más complejos y además se hacen más comunes los procesos de adaptación y renegociación de la identidad. Las identidades estables, únicas y puras están en crisis. Por otra parte, las fronteras nacionales de los estados nación son cada vez más permeables, para el capital, la información y las personas. Los límites nacionales en otro momento tan claros hoy se diluyen, con la confusión que eso puede generar. (N. E.)

Published: July 2021

The lip brake is a fold in the oral mucosa, originating in the upper lip and insertion in the alveolar mucosa. At birth, the labial frenum may be inserted in the palatal papilla. As the individual grows, he can migrate to a more upper region, featuring a normal lip curl. However, when it remains inserted in the papilla, it is a case of hypertrophic lip curl. When pathological, this structure can promote the formation of interincisal diastema, periodontal pocket, gingival retraction, aesthetic problems, difficulties in phonation and brushing. The objective of this article is to report a clinical case of upper lip frenectomy using the double clamping technique or Archer technique, performed at the Oral Minor Surgery clinic of the Dentistry School of the Federal Fluminense University, in a male patient, leucoderma, 23 years old, indicated by his orthodontist after recurrence of interincisal diastema. From the procedure performed, it can be concluded that the surgical intervention and the applied technique were effective in solving the reported clinical case.

Published: July 2021

Os tecidos moles periodontais e peri- implantares possuem muitas características em comum,  tanto clínicas como histológicas. Para controle e manutenção adequados destes tecidos, é necessário melhor entendimento das diferenças e similaridades  que existem entre eles.

Os biofilmes se formam em todas as superfícies aderentes em sistemas fluidos, tanto em dentes como em implantes orais. Como um resultado da presença bacteriana, o hospedeiro responde desenvolvendo um mec anismo de defesa que levará à inflamaç ão dos tecidos moles. Na unidade dentogengival, os resultados são as lesões de gengivite. Na unidade implantar, essa inflamaç ão é denominada de muc osite. Se for permitido o acúmulo de placa por períodos prolongados de tempo, pesquisas experimentais demonstraram que a muc osite pode evoluir para peri-implantite, isto na dependência dos fatores e indicadores de risc o, afetando o osso peri- implantar de suporte circunferencialmente. Embora o osso de suporte seja perdido coronalmente, o implante ainda permanec erá ósseo integrado e, portanto, clinicamente estável. Essa é a razão pela qual a mobilidade representa uma característica de diagnóstico de peri-implantite pouco sensível, mas específica. Parâmetros mais sensíveis e confiáveis do desenvolvimento e da presença de infecções peri- implantares são o sangramento a sondagem, profundidade de sondagem e a interpretações radiográficas , visam detectar o mais cedo possível as lesões peri-implantares, possibilitando assim que o tratamento, que nessa revisão é descrito como sendo cumulativo, começ ando por procedimentos mais simples até os mais avançados, tendo em vista,  paralisar e evitar a progressão dessas lesões, o que fatalmente resultaria no fracasso do implante.

Published: July 2021

Non-carious cervical lesions affect permanent teeth and cause the loss of healthy dental structure through a non-bacterial process. The occurrence of these lesions is multifactorial, although components of the occlusion are frequently associated. The objective of this article is to present a biomechanics of non-carious cervical lesions in finite element models. It is an integrative review of in silico studies carried out in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases, using a PICo search strategy with descriptors. Studies in three dimensions carried out using finite element softwares that evaluated the biomechanical behavior of non-carious cervical lesions, without language restriction, published between 2000 and 2019 were included. Nine studies were eligible, analyzed and synthesized. The evidence indicates that when oblique occlusal forces are applied, the cervical zone of the dental elements receives greater stress, especially in the subsurface enamel. Furthermore, enamel can be more susceptible to stress than dentin, while V-shaped cervical lesions tend to receive more stress than U-shaped lesions, as well as the depth of these lesions potentially increases stress. Bone support and root morphology can modify the distribution of occlusal forces in dental elements. Thus, the biomechanical behavior of non-carious cervical lesions in finite element models is directly associated with oblique occlusal forces capable of generating tension in the cervical of dental elements. Keywords: Tooth Wear; Bite Force; Dental Stress Analysis; Review Literature as Topic.
دور الأنظمة العربية في اغتيال فلسطين ونكبة 1948
Authors: Amezzian Mohammed
Published: July 2021

This research discusses the historical backgrounds that led to the Zionist occupation of Palestine. It demonstrates the significant contrast between the official and popular positions in dealing with the Zionist project that began its invasion to Palestine at the beginning of the 20st century. The research demonstrates the role of the Palestinian leaders who were supported by the popular Islamic and Arab movements in intensifying resistance and military conformation against the British mandate and Jewish armed groups. In addition, the research identifies the most prominent military achievements of the armed resistance. This paper also documents the negative role of the official Arab regimes in deterring the popular revolutions and containing the developing of military rebellions. More importantly, this research has proven that the official position of the Arab governments served against the Palestinian cause by preventing the genuine armed popular movements from fighting the Zionist project, which had consequently led to the defeat (Nakba) of 1948. To study the official position of Arab leaders, the research puts emphasis on four elements: Adoption of a protest diplomacy, Exclusion of the military solution to confront the Zionist project expansion, Acceptance of the United Nations Resolution regarding the partition of Palestine which shapes the first core for establishing the Jewish State, and finally Acceptance of the ceasefire after 1948 war which represents a recognition of the right of existence of the Jewish State.

With the steady rise in the exploration of the idea of worldbuilding, studies have extensively researched the production and consumption of fantasy worlds created by animation studios like Disney and Studio Ghibli. However, the idea of worldbuilding remains inadequately studied in the context of South Asian fiction. This paper aims to engage with the thematic ramifications of ideas such as subcreation and worldbuilding by critically examining Sea of Poppies (2008), the first novel in Amitav Ghosh’s “Ibis” trilogy. The prevalent scholarship on this novel has largely romanticised the creation of the ship-community of jahaj-bhais and jahaj-bahens which was forged through the bond of jahaji-nata and have argued how, in the process of subcreating a world for themselves, the characters “transgress the accepted boundaries of race, gender, and caste” and free themselves from the artificial barriers and divisions prevalent on land. However, such a reading privileges the perspective of a few major characters such as Deeti and Paulette, while denying the multiple layers and hierarchies that permeate the physical space of the ship. Taking this as a point of departure, this paper explores through the eyes of a minor character, Jodu, how the dominant utopic narrative of jahaji-nata of Paulette and others may be challenged from within the heterotopic world of the Ibis. By reinforcing the structural inequities of our everyday lives in the subcreated world of the Ibis, Ghosh’s textual imagination constantly subverts the dominant perspective while holding the two worlds in precarious equilibrium.

The statistics of drug abuse in the country is always at worrying levels. Various methods have been employed by the government and other parties in preventing and treating this problem. Among of the treatment for drug addiction is through the approach of sufism by implementing the practice in al-Ṭarīqah al-Ṣūfiyyah through the emphasis on the needs and the methods of spiritual motivation. By applying the interview method and descriptive analysis, this study was conducted at Pondok Remaja Inabah Kuala Nerang to obtain informations on drug addiction treatment methods via the practice of Ṭarīqah Qadiriyah wa Naqshabandiyyah. Managers or practitioners as well as four trainees were interviewed to obtain more detailed regarding the information on the methods and also on the experiences of the trainees which is has been exposed to this method of spiritual motivation. This study found that the spiritual aspect using the methodology of al-Ṭarīqah al-Ṣūfiyyah taken by practitioners of Ṭarīqah Qādiriyah wa Naqshabandiyyah is able to be an alternative or complementary treatment to existing drug addiction rehabilitation treatment in addition to developing human personality. Mandi taubat, solat and zikir are the three main motivational stimulant practices in the treatment of drug addiction.
Ma‘ānī Asmā’ Allāh al-Ḥusnā Ḥāl al-Iqtirān wa Ḥāl al-Ifrāḍ fī Khawātīm Ba‘ḍi Āyāt al-Qur’ān: Dirāsah Waṣfiyyah Taṭbiqiyyah

The Quran is the fundamental source by which a person knows his Creator through the knowledge of the names of Allah and His attributes, which represents the subject of the unification of Allah and affects the faith of a Muslim, train his soul and conscience and refine his behavior. Thorough examination of the names and attributes of Allah in the Qur’an reveals that both the names and attributes can be found in either of the two instances: in a joint form or in isolation to show that in both cases they carry different meanings, so the study aimed at explaining the names and attributes of Allah, in both of the two instances in some verses of the Quran. The study followed the descriptive and empirical methods. The paper found that the names and attributes of Allah are tawqifiyyah,(Divine), there is no room for personal reasoning, and that the names and attributes of Allah signify perfect and sublime qualities, It was also discovered by the study that the name of (Allah) Al-‘Azīz (The Almighty) was associated with wisdom (Hikmah), the name of (Allah) Al-Laṭīf (The Gentle) with mercy (Rahmah) and the name of Al-‘Afuw (The forgiver) with power and ability (Qudrah). Based on this, the more a person knows Allah the more he reveres Him and follow His commandments. The research finally recommends that to guard the behaviour of a Muslim society, people need to learn the meanings of names and attributes of their Creator.

Optimal airfoil design and wing analysis for solar-powered high altitude platform station
Authors: Hasan Mohammad , Svorcan Jelena , Simonovic Aleksandar , Mirkov Nikola , Kostic Olivera
Published: July 2021

The ability of flying continuously over prolonged periods of time has become target of numerous research studies performed in recent years in both the fields of civil aviation and unmanned drones. High altitude platform stations are aircrafts that can operate for an extended period of time at altitudes 17 km above sea level and higher. The aim of this paper is to design and optimize a wing for such platforms and computationally investigate its aerodynamic performance. For that purpose, two-objective genetic algorithm, class shape transformation and panel method were combined and used to define different airfoils with the highest lift-to-drag ratio and maximal lift coefficient. Once the most suitable airfoil was chosen, polyhedral half-wing was modeled and its aerodynamic performances were estimated using the CFD approach. Flow simulations of transitional flow at various angles-of-attack were realized in ANSYS FLUENT and various quantitative and qualitative results are presented, such as aerodynamic coefficient curves and flow visualizations. In the end, daily mission of the aircraft is simulated and its energy requirement is estimated. In order to be able to cruise above Serbia in July, an aircraft weighing 150 kg must accumulate 17 kWh of solar energy per day.
Dynamic modeling of the heat transfer process in rotary kilns with indirect oil heating: Parametric analysis of gypsum calcination case
Authors: Urbano Jose , Henriquez Jorge , Ochoa Alvaro , Primo Ana , Souza Breno
Published: July 2021

This work proposes a mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of a gyp-sum rotary kiln with indirect oil heating in a 3-D transient regime. The mathematical model was based on Fourier's law as a constitutive relationship and the principle of energy conservation, applied to a control volume in cylindrical co-ordinates. Furthermore, a bed homogenization model was used to represent the most realistic condition of the physical phenomenon since some rotary kilns have internal fins that aim at homogenizing the gypsum temperature during calcination. This work intends to fill the gap found in heat transfer processes on rotary kilns in transient regime considering 3-D positions, to have an accurate projection of the temperature profile of the kiln and also, given by the numerical model, the possibility of a tool that can be used to the optimization of the control system of rotary kilns considering the actual demand of the material in production, leading to the best energy performance of the equipment's activation source, as well as reaching the temperatures and processing time of the product. The numerical simulation results revealed reasonable agreement with the experimentally deter-mined calcination process in rotary kilns. Furthermore, a parametric analysis of the influence of the mixture on the temperature fields and the calcination time was carried out to verify the energetic balance of the rotary kiln.

Objective: To examine whether GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and
SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are preferentially initiated among patients with cardiovascular
disease, heart failure (HF), or nephropathy, where these drug classes have established
benefit, as compared to DPP-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), for which corresponding benefits
have not been demonstrated.

Research Design and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed claims of
adults with type 2 diabetes included in OptumLabs® Data Warehouse, a
de-identified database of commercially-insured and Medicare Advantage
beneficiaries, who first started GLP-1RA, SGLT2i, or DPP-4i therapy between
2016 and 2019. Using multinomial logistic regression, we examined the relative
risk ratios (RRR) of starting GLP-1RA and SGLT2i, as compared to DPP-4i, for those
with history of myocardial infarction (MI), cerebrovascular disease, HF, and nephropathy
after adjusting for demographic and other clinical factors.

Results: We identified 75,395 patients who started GLP-1RA, 58,234
who started SGLT2i, and 91,884 who started DPP-4i. Patients with prior MI, cerebrovascular
disease, or nephropathy were less likely to start GLP-1RA rather than DPP-4i compared
to patients without these conditions; RRR=0.83 (95% CI 0.78-0.88) for MI, RRR=0.77
(0.74-0.81) for cerebrovascular disease, and RRR= 0.87 (0.84-0.91) for
nephropathy. Patients with HF or nephropathy were less likely to start SGLT2i; RRR=0.83
(0.80-0.87) for HF and RRR=0.57 (0.55-0.60) for nephropathy. Both medication
classes were less likely to be started by non-White and older patients.

Conclusions: Patients with cardiovascular disease, HF, and
nephropathy, for whom evidence suggests a greater likelihood of benefiting from
GLP-1RA and/or SGLT2i therapy, were less likely to start these drugs. Addressing
this treatment/benefit paradox, which was most pronounced in non-White and
older patients, may help reduce the morbidity associated with these conditions.

Farliga vargar och bedrägliga maskhål – Produktion av risk i mediematerial om varg och barn
Authors: Strandén-Backa Sofie
Published: July 2021

I artikeln analyseras en diskussion om vargen och dess existensberättigande som pågick i Österbottens Tidning under år 2018 i samband med att vargar rörde sig i trakten. Utgående från Paul Slovic analyseras hur tankegångar om risk byggs upp i materialet. Syftet för artikeln är att undersöka hur varg som risk produceras och hanteras i ett tidningsmaterial, med ett särskilt fokus på de roller som barnen tilldelas. Jag intresserar mig i synnerhet för tiden, och för vad som händer med den i dessa processer. En sammansmältning av Slovics tankar om risk och Heta Lähdesmäkis och Outi Ratamäkis analys av den farliga vargen som en diskursiv resurs i det kulturella minnet i Finland ger ett underlag för en analys av ett material som i sin helhet handlar om en konstruktion av risk för vargangrepp på barn. Jag föreslår termen ”maskhål” som ett alternativ till det som Lähdesmäki och Ratamäki kallar för tidshopp, för att visa på den cirkulära rörelsen i den nutida ständiga återkomsten till händelser som man själv inte upplevt – dödliga vargangrepp på barn i äldre tid. Maskhålet ger tillgång till vargangreppen oberoende av tid och plats, och jag ser de känslor som berättelserna genererar som den kraft som upprätthåller existensen av maskhålet. I processen synliggörs även vad jag kallar för barnets inneboende moraliska imperativ.
