SISTEM PENDIDIKAN DAYAH SEBAGAI UPAYA MENANGKAL PAHAM RADIKALISME DI ACEH
Authors: Yusrizal Hasbi , Romi Asmara  , Ferdi Saputra  , Hadi Iskandar
Published: December 2023

Dayah di Aceh dalam konteks nasional merupakan salah satu pilar pendidikan Islam di Indonesia yang eksistensinya telah diukir jauh sebelum negara Indonesia itu sendiri lahir. Oleh karena itu, dayah seringkali dinilai sebagai institusi pendidikan Islam tradisional yang masih eksis membina peradaban manusia. Isu radikalisme di dayah tentu menimbulkan kekhawatiran bagi banyak pihak, pasalnya tidak sedikit orang tua di Aceh yang memasukkan anak-anaknya ke dalam pondok dayah untuk belajar, khususnya ilmu Agama Islam. Dalam prakteknya radikalisme sering menggunakan nama agama sebagaimana klaim Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme (BNPT) masih menemukan adanya pondok pesantren yang diduga terafiliasi dengan jaringan teroris, khusunya agama Islam. Paham radikal juga tidak diatur pada produk hukum yang ada di Indonesia. Paham radikal baru muncul pada UU No. 5 Tahun 2018. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji dan menjelaskan mengenai peran sistem pendidikan dayah dalam menangkal paham radikalisme di Aceh. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis empiris (sosiologis) dilakukan analis secara deskriptif  kualitatif. Hasil penelitian antara lain ditemukan adalah sistem pendidikan di Pesantren/Dayah sangat menekankan kasih sayang dan cinta damai. Intinya bahwa keberadaan pesantren mampu mencegah radikalisme menyebar dan meracuni generasi muda Indonesia. Tradisi Pesantren memiliki narasi bahwa ekstremisme dan ekstremisme dapat diberantas karena didasarkan pada tiga nilai inti. Ketiganya adalah tawassuth atau sikap tengah, tawazun artinya semuanya seimbang dan i’tidal artinya berdiri tegak lurus. Pengajaran nilai deradikalisasi agama melalui pesantren merupakan salah satu bentuk upaya memerangi radikalisme dan terorisme yang seringkali mengatasnamakan agama. Pendekatan keagamaan ini sangat penting untuk memberikan pemahaman agama yang benar kepada masyarakat melalui pondok pesantren dengan tetap menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai kemanusiaan dalam beragama

This research will focus on CSR which is the obligation of the company to be responsible in terms of development and social around the company, where each company must provide CSR funds from the company's profits to help the development around the company operates, this is expected to be a solution to the problem of social and environmental development, in some developed countries CSR takes a broader role by reaching out to partners for regional infrastructure development, this has not been touched in the rules of legislation in Indonesia, therefore it is very interesting to study more deeply the opportunities and future layout.  The purpose of this study is to look at the possibilities and analyze the opportunities and challenges that need to be resolved to make CSR actively involved in regional infrastructure development. This research method is normative juridical, where it is done by analyzing the relevant legal rules in order to understand the subject matter in the rules of the game so that a solution can be found to the problem at hand .From the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that CSR has been running as mandated by the law, but those aspects to be able to make CSR a development partner still have empty space that must be regulated with certainty and measured by the rules of the law.
PERTANGGUNGJAWABAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SEBAGAI SUBJEK HUKUM YANG MELAKUKAN TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI
Authors: Noerman Chiquita Thefirsly , Agustanti Rosalia Dika
Published: December 2023

Like Criminal acts in general, corruption also has legal subjects, namely humans and legal entities. However, with the development of the times, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged, which is artificial intelligence. So, it is not impossible that artificial intelligence (AI) could commit a criminal act. One of them is a particular criminal act, namely the criminal act of corruption. This research aims to determine the position of artificial intelligence (AI) as a legal subject with a mind like a human. This research also aims to determine the criminal responsibility of artificial intelligence who commits an extraordinary crime, namely corruption. The type of research used in preparing this research is normative juridical research methods. Data collection in this research was carried out using library research methods. Until now, there are no clear regulations regarding the criminal responsibility of AI who commit criminal acts of corruption. This creates a legal vacuum that requires further attention from the authorities. Artificial intelligence (AI) must be regulated appropriately under technological developments and modern criminal law

Seperti tindak pidana pada umumnya, korupsi juga memiliki subjek hukum yaitu manusia dan badan hukum. Namun dengan perkembangan zaman, hadir artificial intelligence (AI) yang merupakan sebuah kecerdasan buatan. Maka bukanlah hal yang tidak mungkin bahwa artificial intelligence (AI) dapat melakukan sebuah tindak pidana.  Salah satunya ialah tindak pidana khusus yaitu tindak pidana korupsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui posisi  artificiall intellegent (AI) sebagai subjek hukum yang mana memiliki akal pikiran layaknya seorang manusia. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengetahui pertanggungajawaban pidana  artificiall intellegent yang melakukan suatu tindak pidana khusus, yakni tindak pidana korupsi.  Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penyusunan penelitian ini adalah menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif. Pengumpulan data pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Hingga saat ini, belum ada regulasi yang jelas mengenai pertanggungjawaban pidana AI yang melakukan tindak pidana korupsi. Hal ini menciptakan kekosongan hukum yang memerlukan perhatian lebih lanjut dari pihak berwenang. Artificiall intellegent (AI) harus diatur dengan tepat sesuai dengan perkembangan teknologi dan hukum pidana modern.

This study contributes to the ongoing debate on the persistence of stock market anomalies in equity markets (McLean and Pontiff, 2016; Jacobs and Müller, 2020) and concentrates on the day-of-the-week effect in the European real estate sector. Interest payments and settlement effects were discussed as the main factors to explain this anomaly in the past. Today the persistence is highly questionable concerning the dynamically adjusting economic and institutional environment. While previous research indicated a significant Monday and Friday effect in other sectors, literature can only support a Friday effect for real estate. Furthermore, the real estate sector has a lower level of mispricing, which makes it more difficult for an anomaly to survive (Bampinas et al., 2016). The data is splitted in three ten-year periods to analyze the effect's existence over the long term. Applying OLS and GARCH models, results reveal an evolution in a significant Friday effect for cross-country indices (Europe and Global). From 1990 to 2000, the effect is weak but significant. It gains in importance during the period 2000 to 2009. In the final period until 2020, the anomaly weakens again but does not disappear for cross-country indices. From a country-specific perspective, there is no pattern in the significance of the day-of-the-week effect. The real estate sector has a local business character. Therefore, country-specific effects are possible, but a pattern is not found. In conclusion, there is still a day-of-the-week effect in the real estate sector in Europe from a cross-country perspective.
On the Concept of Procedural Responsibility: General Theoretical Analysis
Authors: Vladimir Valentinovich Kozhevnikov
Published: December 2023

This article examines the concept of procedural responsibility. The position is defended according to which procedural responsibility is interpreted not as a type of legal responsibility, but as a complex legal institution consisting of the norms of both substantive and procedural law. In turn, procedural responsibility is divided into a number of sub-institutions, including criminal procedural responsibility, which is analyzed in more or less detail.

Published: December 2023

Ülkemizde özel sektör ve kamuda iş alanlarının daralması beraberinde işsizliğin artmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu noktada, girişimcilik yeni iş alanlarının yaratılmasında ve istihdam sağlanmasında kilit bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu araştırmada temel amaç üniversite öğrencilerinin öz yeterlilik ve işsizlik kaygılarının girişimcilik niyetleri üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın verileri bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 438 öğrenciden kolayda örneklem yöntemi ile bir anket kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Yüz yüze gerçekleştirilen ankette kişisel bilgi formunun yanı sıra, öz yeterlilik, işsizlik kaygısı ve girişimcilik niyeti ölçeklerine yer verilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra, korelasyon ve regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan tanımlayıcı istatistiklerde öğrencilerin öz yeterlilik düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu, işsizlik kaygısı ve girişimcilik niyetlerinin orta düzeye yakın olduğu belirlenmiştir. Korelasyon analizi sonucunda öz yeterlilik ve girişimcilik niyeti arasında pozitif yönlü güçlü bir ilişki tespit edilirken, işsizlik kaygısı ve girişimcilik niyeti arasında pozitif yönlü orta düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Regresyon analizi sonucunda öğrencilerin öz yeterlilik ve işsizlik kaygılarının girişimcilik niyetlerini pozitif bir şekilde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öz yeterliliğin girişimcilik niyetini etkileyen en güçlü değişken olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucu, girişimcilik niyetinin artması ve buna bağlı olarak girişimcilik davranışının ortaya çıkmasında öz yeterlilik ve işsizlik kaygısının iki önemli değişken olduğunu göstermektedir.
Impact of salinity and temperature on the vital rates of co-occurring Calanus glacialis and C. finmarchicus from West Greenland
Authors: Makri M , Hansen PJ , Nielsen TG
Published: December 2023

Climate change creates multiple stressors for organisms in Arctic ecosystems, such as key zooplankton species of the genus Calanus. Here, we quantified the mortality and fecal pellet production rate of Calanus finmarchicus and C. glacialis from Disko Bay, West Greenland, with respect to temperature and salinity. The 2 species were exposed to temperatures of 0, 5 and 10°C and a salinity range from 5 to 60. C. glacialis had a significantly lower mean lethal concentration (LC50) of 9 with a standard error of 1.98 at the lowest temperature, at salinities below in situ salinities, compared to C. finmarchicus (14 ± 0.35). At high temperatures, C. glacialis LC50 was significantly lower than that at 0°C. At high salinities, the 2 species did not have significantly different LC50 values. The fecal pellet production rates were quantified at saturated food concentration (>400 µg C l-1). No impact of salinity was observed between salinities of 25 and 40. Increases in fecal pellet production rates were observed at the limits of this range, indicating a physiological stress response. Within the 25-40 salinity range, fecal pellet production rates increased exponentially with temperature for C. finmarchicus (average Q10 = 1.9 ± 0.18) in the temperature range of 0-10°C, while for C. glacialis, they peaked at 5°C (average Q10 between 0 and 5°C was 2.19 ± 0.15). Our results demonstrate a high physiological plasticity of both Calanus species with respect to salinity. C. glacialis will be more tolerant in a future surface freshening scenario, although this advantage seems to be impaired at temperatures above 5°C.

Authors: Alanazi Fadiyah Jadid , Alenezi Mada Huwaydi M , Alanazi Atheer Abdullah N , Alanazi Taif Salem R
Published: December 2023

Background: The internship year marks the culmination of the nursing program across all Saudi universities, bridging theoretical learning and practical application. The significance of the internship year lies in the application of skills acquired during the preceding years of study. Understanding interns’ experiences, identifying influences, and sharing their recommendations for best practices become crucial.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of internship students and address the challenges they encountered in a clinical environment.
Methods: A qualitative naturistic descriptive approach was employed, involving 20 purposively selected participants from internship students in two regions in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected in January 2023 through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and observation. A conventional content analysis approach was used for data analysis.
Results: Four major themes were generated: 1) Transferring Shock, 2) Self-Learning, 3) Supportive Environments, and 4) Factors Facilitating Learning. Transferring Shock comprised two subthemes: feeling lost and feeling left out.
Conclusion: Internship students acknowledged the utility of orientation and mentorship programs in advancing the practical skills of new nurses and enhancing patient safety. The findings also indicated that those with prior preparation and robust communication skills reported a positive experience. Consequently, integrating communication courses into the nursing education curriculum could be beneficial. Establishing a supportive learning environment for nursing interns is imperative to address challenges and ensure the delivery of safe and effective patient care.

Determination of the level of manifestation of professional and pedagogical preparedness of a primary education teacher was carried out at the ascertaining, formative and generalizing stages of experimental work, using quantitative and qualitative assessment of the results obtained, based on the use of the developed evaluation and diagnostic criterion. The ascertaining stage of the experimental work included. The ascertaining stage of the experimental work provided for the justification of the participants in the experimental and control groups, diagnostic and activity-based goal-setting, through the study, analysis and generalization of special literature and a comprehensive analysis of the practice of developing professional and practical knowledge, abilities, skills of primary education teachers and drawing up a program for increasing the level of preparedness of teachers. The formative stage included the creation of pedagogical prerequisites, through the implementation of a plan-program for increasing the level of professional and pedagogical preparedness based on a systematic and practical approach, with the involvement of teachers in continuously operating training-seminars, the participation of primary education teachers in self-assessment and reflection of their professional and pedagogical activities. The generalizing stage of experimental work made it possible to analyze the level of professional and pedagogical preparedness of primary education teachers. Research work to improve the level of professional and pedagogical preparedness of primary education teachers was planned and carried out on the basis of the requirements of the State educational standard for school general education.
An Unusual Case of an Open Globe due to Airbag Injury and Scleral Lens Use
Authors: Wilson Mary K. , Bowman Lee P. , Hu Jonathan K. , Blake Charles R.
Published: December 2023

A 30-year-old woman who wears scleral contact lenses for keratoconus was brought to the emergency room after a motor vehicle collision where a deployed airbag hit her left eye. The patient was taken to the operating room for globe exploration and found to have two large scleral lacerations (one superiorly and one temporally) with significant uveal prolapse. After primary repair, she developed a retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy, vitreous hemorrhage and a full hyphema. She underwent a vitrectomy, retinal detachment repair and penetrating keratoplasty corneal transplant. We believe the extent of her trauma is due to a unique mechanism of injury in which the scleral lens acted like a punch, creating two scleral lacerations, and expulsing the ciliary body. To our knowledge, this is the first report of scleral lens induced open globe trauma.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate whether post exercise carbohydrate intake improves training effect in the first postoperative days, in patients who have had a primary total knee or hip arthroplasty. Subjects were primary total hip (THA) (n=18), and total knee arthroplasties (TKA)(n=25) patients randomized to consume 30 g maltodextrin or placebo within 15 minutes after each training session as a supplement to the standard diet. The outcome measures were six minute walk test (6-MWT), number of completed training sessions, training intensity, and duration. There was no difference in the 6-MWT, number of completed training sessions, training intensity and duration between the intervention vs control group. When stratified for operation procedure, THA patients in the intervention group trained longer (26.7 ± 5.8 vs 15.2 ± 4.1 min, P = 0.017), and at an overall higher intensity (scale 1-5) (2.4 ± 1.0 vs 1.75 ± 0.8, P = 0.021) and during the training sessions with the physiotherapist (2.5 ± 1.1 vs and 1.8 ± 0.9, P = 0.044) compared with controls. In contrary, the duration of self-training was longer in the TKA control group compared with the intervention group (19.7 ± 7.0 vs 13.8 ± 3.3 min, P = 0.021). In conclusion, minor positive effects of maltodextrin were observed after hip arthroplasties, while minor negative effects of maltodextrin were observed after knee arthroplasties. It is unknown whether these findings are due to the low dose of maltodextrin, small number of study participants, differences in overall nutritional status, or lack of effect.

Published: December 2023

Nursing services include promotive, preventive and rehabilitative. Rehabilitation of post-stroke post-hospitalized patients is growing rapidly along with the development of internet use and advances in information technology. Telerehabilitation is an innovation to make it easier for patients to get rehabilitation services as a continuation after treatment at the hospital to improve their motor, speech and psychosocial abilities as a result of a stroke. Telerehabilitation increases the client's comfort in doing exercises during rehabilitation both at home, in the community, health facilities that are easy to reach to help restore the patient's ability to be independent. Several countries have developed telerehabilitation to provide post-hospitalized post-stroke telerehabilitation services considering that there are so many benefits to be gained that it is necessary to consider applying the telerehabilitation system in Indonesia with various adjustments so that it can be implemented optimally.
Modele de dezvoltare identitară în familii minoritare etnic/multiculturale de surzi
Authors: Belenyi Emese , Flora Gavril
Published: December 2023

Although the existence of internal ethnic diversity within Deaf communities is recognized by several authors, there has been less analysis of the impact of the ethnicity of marriage partners on the development and transmission of identity within Deaf families. This paper addresses language use and crossgenerational identity transmission in ethnic minority or ethnically mixed families set up by Deaf spouses living in Oradea (Romania). The research conducted in the Deaf community of Oradea is based on a survey of ethnic Hungarian Deaf community members (including ethnic Romanian spouses), lifepath interviews with selected Deaf individuals, and family case studies. The research results denote that in the case of Deaf people living in ethnically homogenous marriages who have graduated from a special school in Hungarian language, the transmission of Hungarian identity, knowledge of Hungarian sign language/oral language tends to be a natural, undisturbed process. However, if one of the spouses is of Romanian ethnicity, the language of communication within the family will probably be Romanian sign language/oral language. On the other hand, in families where both minority and majority ethnic family members, Deaf and hearing, are present, complex, multifaceted patterns of linguistic communication may operate, favoring specific multicultural ways of developing and transmitting identity.
Albumul de fotografii – un memorator al vieții de familie
Authors: Drăghici Elisaveta
Published: December 2023

This study explores the meanings currently ascribed to family photographs and albums and aspects of photograph collecting and album making behaviour. Current ways of storing photographs are presented as well as highlighting perceptions of the durability over time of these new forms of storage. The study is exploratory in nature, based on empirical research through the conduct of ten (structured) interviews conducted between August and September 2021. The results of the study show the multitude of meanings attributed to family photo albums, namely: reminiscence of moments in family life, reconstruction of family biography, communication between generations, knowledge of ancestors (great-grandparents, grandparents, parents) in different stages of their lives, establishing a link with the past and building family identity, family history and, last but not least, emotional, nostalgic or joyful meanings, aspects that strengthen the family. At the same time, the study highlights new forms of photo preservation - the shift from print to digital photography, including digital albums. The research also reveals perceptions of the durability of digital albums over time by recognising both positive and negative aspects. The article contributes to the development of research on family photographs and albums in Romanian society, highlighting the importance of the family album and considering it as an object of sociological research.

Efectividad de intervenciones fisioterapéuticas pre y posoperatorias en pacientes con osteosarcoma.
Authors: Cárdenas Julissa , Dávila Yasbek
Published: December 2023

Introducción: La falta de información sobre la efectividad de intervenciones fisioterapéuticas en la rehabilitación de pacientes con osteosarcoma en Ecuador ha llevado a evaluaciones tardías, aumentando la agresividad de la enfermedad.
Materiales y métodos: En la investigación se propuso analizar la eficacia de la intervención fisioterapéutica en las fases pre y posoperatoria, recopilando información de 35 artículos científicos mediante un enfoque documental e inductivo. La calidad metodológica se evaluó con la escala PEDro, garantizando una puntuación >7 para validar los estudios. Se utilizaron bases de datos como Redalyc, ProQuest, LILACS, Scopus, PubMed, SJR, Cochrane, Scielo y PEDro, aplicando estrategias de búsqueda con operadores booleanos.
Resultados: En la fase pre y posoperatoria se realizan intervenciones fisioterapéuticas como masajes, estimulación nerviosa, acupuntura, crioterapia y ejercicio, mostraron beneficios significativos en la disminución del dolor, la fatiga, la ansiedad, la depresión, mejoran la movilidad y fortalecen la musculatura.
Conclusión: La aplicación dentro de un enfoque multidisciplinario en pacientes con osteosarcoma dio como resultado bienestar y mejoría sintomática. Este estudio respalda la eficacia de la fisioterapia en el tratamiento integral, permitiendo la independencia de los pacientes post-tratamiento quirúrgico y protésico, destacando la importancia de implementar estas intervenciones desde las fases iniciales del diagnóstico.
Origens e apropriação cultural do Lesson Study:
Authors: Viana Gonçalves Kézia , Fiorentini Dario
Published: December 2023

Este estudo interpreta e discute o processo de criação e difusão do Lesson Study (LS) japonês, tendo como questão investigativa: como diferentes estudos têm evidenciado as raízes culturais do LS e como outros países e experiências, mundo a fora, vem se apropriando deste processo de aprendizagem docente e de desenvolvimento curricular, adaptando ou reinventando socioculturalmente o LS original? Para responder a esta pergunta, buscamos garimpar e reunir trabalhos de LS para, mediante interpretação e análise dos mesmos, descrever e compreender suas raízes socioculturais de origem e também seu processo de adaptação e apropriação cultural por outros países, instituições ou grupos investigativos. Este tipo de revisão narrativa diferencia-se das revisões sistemáticas por não utilizar critérios definidos. Sob uma perspectiva sociocultural utiliza as lentes da teoria da aprendizagem situada e do conceito de comunidade de prática para aprofundar uma discussão sobre a produção relacional entre cultura e aprendizagem no LS, frente a sua originalidade no Japão e expansão e adaptação em diferentes países, tendo em vista a aprendizagem do professor que ensina matemática. Os resultados deste estudo evidenciam, de um lado, que não existe uma compreensão única compartilhada internacionalmente sobre o LS japonês, abrindo um leque amplo de possibilidades de apropriação e reinvenção cultural e, de outro lado, que os desafios e diferenças de implementação se devem às disposições e condições culturais, sociais e políticas que favorecem ou dificultam o trabalho investigativo dos professores sobre suas aulas nas escolas e também da relação colaborativa entre universidade e escola.
Balancing climate goals and biodiversity protection: legal implications of the 30x30 target for land-based carbon removal
Authors: Günther Philipp , Ekardt Felix
Published: December 2023

This article examines the legal conflicts between land-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies and the establishment of protected areas through the lens of international environmental law. We argue that the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework's “30x30” target—which aims to protect 30% of global terrestrial and marine areas by 2030—constitutes a “subsequent agreement” under international law and thus clarifies the legal scope and content of the obligation to establish protected areas under Article 8 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Since states have pledged 120 million square kilometers for land-based CDR, these commitments potentially conflict with the “30x30” target, especially if global cropland for food production is to be maintained. Consequently, some land-based CDR strategies may directly or indirectly impede the achievement of the “30x30” target, which could be deemed inconsistent with international law. However, as all international environmental law operates in a continuum, this does not imply that land-based CDR should be categorically ruled out. Rather, states should focus on emission reductions and implementing CDR options that provide the most co-benefits to climate mitigation and biodiversity protection efforts.
Clinical characteristics, treatment, and blood pressure control in patients with hypertension seen by primary care physicians in Spain: the IBERICAN study

Published: December 2023

Objectives

To determine the clinical profile, according to the history of hypertension, the risk of developing hypertension, current antihypertensive treatment and BP control rates in patients with hypertension from the IBERICAN cohort.

Methods

IBERICAN is an ongoing prospective cohort study, whose primary objective is to determine the frequency, incidence, and distribution of CVRF in the adult Spanish population seen in primary care settings. This analysis shows the baseline clinical characteristics of patients with hypertension. Adequate BP control was defined as BP <140/90 mmHg according to 2013 ESH/ESC guidelines.

Results

A total of 8,066 patients were consecutively included, of whom 3,860 (48.0%) had hypertension. These patients were older (65.8 ± 10.9 vs. 51.6 ± 14.7 years; p < 0.001), had more cardiovascular risk factors, target organ damage and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in comparison with those without hypertension. The risk of hypertension increased with the presence of associated CV risk factors and comorbidities, particularly diabetes, obesity and the metabolic syndrome, and decreased with the intensity of physical activity. Regarding antihypertensive treatments, 6.1% of patients did not take any medication, 38.8% were taking one antihypertensive drug, 35.5% two drugs, and 19.6% three or more antihypertensive drugs. Overall, 58.3% achieved BP goals <140/90 mmHg. A greater probability of BP control was observed with increasing age of patients and the greater number of antihypertensive drugs. Blood pressure control was lower in hypertensive patients with diabetes, obesity, the metabolic syndrome, increased urinary albumin excretion, higher pulse pressure, and lack of antihypertensive treatment.

Conclusions

About half of patients attended in primary care settings have hypertension in Spain. Patients with hypertension have a worse CV clinical profile than non-hypertensive patients, with greater association of CVRF and CVD. Around four out of ten patients do not achieve the recommended BP goals, and higher use of combination therapies is associated with a better BP control.
Overview of the safety, efficiency, and potential mechanisms of finerenone for diabetic kidney diseases
Authors: Chen Wenmin , Zheng Lingqian , Wang Jiali , Lin Yongda , Zhou Tianbiao
Published: December 2023

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common disorder with numerous severe clinical implications. Due to a high level of fibrosis and inflammation that contributes to renal and cardiovascular disease (CVD), existing treatments have not effectively mitigated residual risk for patients with DKD. Excess activation of mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) plays a significant role in the progression of renal and CVD, mostly by stimulating fibrosis and inflammation. However, the application of traditional steroidal MR antagonists (MRAs) to DKD has been limited by adverse events. Finerenone (FIN), a third-generation non-steroidal selective MRA, has revealed anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects in pre-clinical studies. Current clinical trials, such as FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD and their combined analysis FIDELITY, have elucidated that FIN reduces the kidney and CV composite outcomes and risk of hyperkalemia compared to traditional steroidal MRAs in patients with DKD. As a result, FIN should be regarded as one of the mainstays of treatment for patients with DKD. In this review, the safety, efficiency, and potential mechanisms of FIN treatment on the renal system in patients with DKD is reviewed.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have limited efficacy in metastatic pancreatic cancer due to the complex tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Studies have shown that radiotherapy can cause cell lesions to release tumor antigens and then take part in the remodeling of the tumor environment and the induction of ectopic effects via regional and systemic immunoregulation. Here, we reported a case of advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy and a sharp shift of the TIME from T3 to T2 was also observed. One hepatic metastasis within the planning target volume (PTV) was evaluated complete response (CR), the other one was evaluated partial response (PR) and 2 hepatic metastases outside the PTV were surprisingly considered PR. In the study, we found that immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy achieved significant therapeutic benefits, which may provide a new strategy for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.

Primary COVID-19 vaccination for children, 5-17 years of age, was offered in the Netherlands at a time when a substantial part of this population had already experienced a SARS-CoV-2 infection. While vaccination has been shown effective, underlying immune responses have not been extensively studied. We studied immune responsiveness to one and/or two doses of primary BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination and compared the humoral and cellular immune response in children with and without a preceding infection. Antibodies targeting the original SARS-CoV-2 Spike or Omicron Spike were measured by multiplex immunoassay. B-cell and T-cell responses were investigated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISpot) assays. The activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was studied by flowcytometry. Primary vaccination induced both a humoral and cellular adaptive response in naive children. These responses were stronger in those with a history of infection prior to vaccination. A second vaccine dose did not further boost antibody levels in those who previously experienced an infection. Infection-induced responsiveness prior to vaccination was mainly detected in CD8+ T cells, while vaccine-induced T-cell responses were mostly by CD4+ T cells. Thus, SARS-CoV-2 infection prior to vaccination enhances adaptive cellular and humoral immune responses to primary COVID-19 vaccination in children. As most children are now expected to contract infection before the age of five, the impact of infection-induced immunity in children is of high relevance. Therefore, considering natural infection as a priming immunogen that enhances subsequent vaccine-responsiveness may help decision-making on the number and timing of vaccine doses.

The demand for clean and sustainable alternative energy resources is linearly increasing day by day due to the prevailing electricity crisis. Small-scale energy harvesting is considered a sustainable way to generate clean energy. Advanced energy solar cells, mainly dye-sensitized solar cells use solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. Similarly, MEMS-based piezoelectric materials are used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. For these applications, zinc oxide is considered one of the most suitable materials with high conductive, tunable band gap, and piezoelectric properties. However, altering these properties can be carried out by the addition of metal and other materials. Various research work has been carried out to study the addition of conductive metal as a dopant to alter the properties of zinc oxide. In this study, Strontium has been doped in ZnO to form a nanostructure for application in DSSC and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) energy harvesters. Analysis has been conducted using the simulation and fabrication method. The results show that the doping and the pore size of the substrate (Anodic Aluminum oxide membrane) largely affect the output voltage and current. The difference between the simulated and experimental results was less than 1%, which shows the accuracy of the simulation. Tuning of the band gap can be observed by the addition of Sr in the ZnO nanostructure. For microelectromechanical systems energy harvesters, Sr-doped ZnO nanostructures deposited on anodic aluminum oxide show 7.10 mV of voltage and 1.11 uA of current output. The addition of Sr doping in ZnO shows the improvement in the generated current and voltage for the energy harvester and the improvement in overall power conversion efficiency for dye-sensitized solar cells. MEMS-based energy harvesting devices and low-cost advanced solar cells are promising to improve the efficiency of energy generation at a small scale.

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are expanding due to increased sea surface temperatures, subsequent increased oxygen demand through respiration, reduced oxygen solubility, and thermal stratification driven in part by anthropogenic climate change. Devil’s Hole, Bermuda is a model ecosystem to study OMZ microbial biogeochemistry because the formation and subsequent overturn of the suboxic zone occur annually. During thermally driven stratification, suboxic conditions develop, with organic matter and nutrients accumulating at depth. In this study, the bioavailability of the accumulated dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and the microbial community response to reoxygenation of suboxic waters was assessed using a simulated overturn experiment. The surface inoculated prokaryotic community responded to the deep (formerly suboxic) 0.2 μm filtrate with cell densities increasing 2.5-fold over 6 days while removing 5 μmol L−1 of DOC. After 12 days, the surface community began to shift, and DOC quality became less diagenetically altered along with an increase in SAR202, a Chloroflexi that can degrade recalcitrant dissolved organic matter (DOM). Labile DOC production after 12 days coincided with an increase of Nitrosopumilales, a chemoautotrophic ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) that converts ammonia to nitrite based on the ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) gene copy number and nutrient data. In comparison, the inoculation of the deep anaerobic prokaryotic community into surface 0.2 μm filtrate demonstrated a die-off of 25.5% of the initial inoculum community followed by a 1.5-fold increase in cell densities over 6 days. Within 2 days, the prokaryotic community shifted from a Chlorobiales dominated assemblage to a surface-like heterotrophic community devoid of Chlorobiales. The DOM quality changed to less diagenetically altered material and coincided with an increase in the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase form I (cbbL) gene number followed by an influx of labile DOM. Upon reoxygenation, the deep DOM that accumulated under suboxic conditions is bioavailable to surface prokaryotes that utilize the accumulated DOC initially before switching to a community that can both produce labile DOM via chemoautotrophy and degrade the more recalcitrant DOM.

Introduction

The student period is associated with changes in eating habits, usually leading to diets of lower nutritional quality. However, some variability may exist in students’ dietary patterns. We aimed to describe French students’ diets and identify dietary groups that may vary in nutritional quality and environmental impact.

Methods

A representative sample of French students (N = 582) for age, sex and scholarship status completed an online 125-item food frequency questionnaire. The nutritional quality of diets was assessed by a score of adherence to the French nutritional guidelines (sPNNS-GS2 score, ranging from−17 to 11.5) and its environmental impact by greenhouse gas emissions for an isocaloric diet (GHGE). An ascending hierarchical classification analysis on food and beverage intakes led to three dietary groups. Between-group differences in food consumption, dietary indicators and sociodemographic characteristics were investigated using ANOVA models.

Results

The average sPNNS-GS2 score of students’ diets was −0.8 ± 2.8, representing a 57% coverage of French nutritional recommendations, and GHGE were 5.4 ± 1.7 kg eCO2/2000 kcal. The three dietary groups were: a healthy diet group (20% of the sample) with the highest nutritional quality and high GHGE, which included older students with a higher level of physical activity; a Western diet group (40%) with the worst nutritional quality and high GHGE, which included more students who lived with their parents; and a frugal diet group (40%) with the lowest energy intake, intermediate nutritional quality, and low GHGE, which included more students who lived alone.

Conclusion

None of the dietary groups optimized both nutritional quality and environmental impact simultaneously, which suggests an apparent incompatibility in the student population between these two sustainability dimensions. These findings emphasize the need for tailored public health policies that acknowledge the diversity of student eating patterns and address specific individual barriers to healthy and sustainable diets.
