Published: December 2024

Dual left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery is a rare anatomical variant with significant clinical implications. Recognizing this variant is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management, particularly in the context of revascularization strategies. We present a 71-year-old male with a history of dyspnea on exertion with baseline wall motion abnormality on a transthoracic stress echocardiography irreversible after exercise. Coronary computed tomography angiography revealed a dual LAD system: The left short LAD (LAD1) originating from the left main coronary artery and the right LAD (LAD2) arising separately from the right coronary cusp, distinct from the right coronary artery ostium. Having different origins and courses, both LADs supply the LAD territory. Our case is notable for two main reasons: The rarity of this particular type of dual LAD anatomy and the unique course of the LAD2, which, to our knowledge, has not been described in any previous case report. Although rare, dual LAD coronary artery should be considered in patients with atypical short LAD. Comprehensive imaging and a thorough understanding of coronary artery variants are essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath: A critical review of current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with treatment recommendations for hand and foot lesions
Authors: Jerome J. Terrence Jose , Karunanithi Dharani
Published: December 2024

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a common tumor affecting the hand and foot, often presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its variable clinical presentations and biological behaviors. Recent evidence supports a neoplastic origin for this tumor, previously known by various names. GCTTS can be categorized as localized or diffuse, with distinct predilections for specific anatomical locations. While localized GCTTS is typically benign and more common in the hand and wrist, the diffuse form can be aggressive, also affecting the foot and ankle. This critical analysis review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of GCTTS in hand and foot, encompassing its clinical, radiological, histological, and genomic features. In addition, we summarize current management practices, discuss differential diagnoses, analyze recurrence rates following surgical excision, and offer evidence-based treatment recommendations for this diverse group of tumors.

Authors: Utami Inggita , Sakinah Rahmah , Pratiwi Ambar
Published: December 2024

Leachate generally still has nutrients that can potentially optimize plant growth. However, according to the Ministry of Agriculture standards, the organic matter source can still not increase the test nutrient content of leachate liquid fertilizer. This study aimed to analyze the growth of Ipomoea reptans after applying leachate liquid fertilizer from superior nutrient materials and to determine the optimal concentration of leachate liquid fertilizer for the growth of Ipomoea reptans. This study was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with the independent variables being variations in the concentration of leachate liquid fertilizer (P0 0%, P1 10%, P2 20%, and P3 30 %), and the dependent variable was the growth of Ipomoea reptans. The results showed that, at 36 DAP, P3 had the highest mean value for plant height, stem diameter, and the number of shoots. Treatment P0 had the highest average value for the parameter number of leaves. In contrast, treatment P2 had the highest mean for parameters of leaf area, root length, dry weight, and fresh weight. The application of liquid leachate fertilizer gave significantly different results only on the parameters of the length of the primary root and the fresh weight of the plant. The most optimal growth response of Ipomoea reptans was shown in the application of liquid leachate fertilizer with a concentration of 20%. This study's conclusions indicate that applying liquid fertilizer leachate from superior nutrient materials can increase the growth of Ipomoea reptans, especially at a concentration of 20%.

Проанализированы примеры определения летучих инсектицидов пиретроидного ряда. Установлены оптимальные режимы извлечения действующих веществ из основных видов продукции, использующейся для защиты населения от летающих насекомых. Основными препаративными формами с указанными субстанциями являются пластины и жидкости для фумигаторов, аэрозольные баллоны, спреи, спирали на основе пиротехнических составов. Разнообразие форм приводит к сложностям при выборе вариантов пробоподготовки и оставляет некую свободу хроматографическим методам анализа. Оперативный и более робастный путь – использование ГЖХ, хотя возможно привлечение ОФ ВЭЖХ несмотря на относительно низкие спектральные характеристики титульных объектов. В качестве рассмотренных субстанций были взяты имипротрин, эмпентрин (вапортрин), трансфлутрин, праллетрин (ЭТОК) и эсбиотрин (d-аллетрин). Приведены примеры аналитического определения 10 реальных композиций. Представленные сведения дополняют данные по другим инсектицидным субстанциям, приводившиеся ранее, и будут полезны для специалистов производственных и аналитических лабораторий, занятых в области пест-контроля.

Examples of the determination of volatile insecticides of the pyrethroid series are analyzed. Optimal modes of extraction of active substances from the main types of products used to protect the population from flying insects have been established. The main reactive forms with these substances are plates and liquids for transformers, aerosol cans, sprays, spirals based on pyrotechnic compositions. The variety of shapes leads to difficulties in choosing sample preparation options and leaves some freedom with chromatographic analysis methods. An operational and more robust way is to use HPLC, although it is possible to involve HPLC in spite of the relatively low spectral characteristics of the title objects. Imiprotrin, empentrin (vaportrin), transflutrin, pralethrin (ETOK) and esbiothrin (d-allethrin) were taken as the considered substances. Examples of analytical determination of 10 real compositions are given. The presented information complements the data on other insecticidal substances provided earlier and will be useful for specialists of production and analytical laboratories engaged in the field of “pest control”.
Почему слово должно быть оправдано: о взаимодействии текста и музыки в L’alibi della parola Сальваторе Шаррино
Authors: Е.Г. Окунева
Published: December 2024

В статье поднимаются вопросы взаимодействия слова и музыки в творчестве итальянского композитора Сальваторе Шаррино. Формы вербально-музыкального синтеза рассматриваются на примере цикла для четырех голосов L’alibi della parola, созданного в 1994 году. В основу сочинения положены тексты разных эпох: стихотворения современного бразильского поэта-конкретиста Аугусто де Кампоса, фрагменты из поэмы «Триумфы» Франческо Петрарки и надписи на античной керамике. Их особенность связана с выходом за пределы литературы благодаря интеграции слова с визуальным изображением. Шаррино выстраивает тексты в единый «сюжетный» ряд, выявляя смысловые переклички между ними, ищет способы перевода визуальных аспектов в звуковую плоскость, прибегая к приемам фонетической композиции, а также опираясь на разработанный им новый вокальный стиль sillabazione scivolata. Подход итальянского мастера к проблеме взаимоотношения слова и музыки определяется стремлением к преобразованию традиции. L’alibi della parola трактуется автором статьи как проявление неомадригалистских тенденций в творчестве композитора.

The article raises the issues of the interaction of word and music in the work of the Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino. The forms of verbal-musical synthesis are considered on the example of the cycle L’alibi della parola, created in 1994. The composition is based on texts from different eras: poems by the modern Brazilian poet Augusto de Campos, fragments from the poem Triumphs by Francesco Petrarch and inscriptions on antique ceramics. Their peculiarity is associated with going beyond literature due to the integration of the word with the visual image. Sciarrino arranges the texts into a single “plot” series, revealing semantic connections between them. The composer is also looking for ways to translate visual aspects into the sound plane, resorting to phonetic composition techniques, as well as relying on the new vocal style sillabazione scivolata developed by him. The Italian master’s approach to the problem of the relationship between word and music is determined by the desire to transform tradition. L’alibi della parola is interpreted by the author of the article as a manifestation of neo-madrigalist tendencies in the composer’s work.
Романтизм: ностальгия по утраченному (Несколько взглядов на фортепианное исполнительство XX–XXI веков)
Authors: В.П. Чинаев
Published: December 2024

В очерке рассматривается фортепианная культура «романтиков» XX века в параллелях с пианизмом наших современников. На примере интерпретаций Альфреда Корто, Владимира Софроницкого, Генриха Нейгауза, Константина Игумнова определяются особенности выразительных средств, свойственных романтической пианистической традиции. В исполнительском искусстве нашей современности связь с этой традицией утрачена; подлинная поэтическая вдохновенность трансформируется либо в самоценную демонстрацию виртуозности, либо в имитацию романтического чувства. Вместе с тем в современном пианизме есть и другая тенденция, выходящая за пределы исполнительского популярного мейнстрима. При всем различии артистических манер Михаила Плетнева и Иво Погорелича их объединяет чувство ностальгии по утраченному романтическому пианизму недавнего прошлого. Характерно, что в интерпретациях сочинений Шопена, Чайковского, Шумана, Листа интонационная чуткость, особая пластика динамического рисунка, свободное дыхание музыкального процесса сочетаются у этих пианистов с эмоциональной отстраненностью и покоем интеллектуального ratio. Но может быть именно в таком парадоксальном синтезе как раз и возможно ностальгическое возвращение к романтическому мироощущению в условиях нашей рациональной современности, далекой от романтизма.

This essay establishes a parallel between 20th-century “romantic” pianism and the piano art of our contemporaries. The interpretations of Alfred Cortot, Vladimir Sofronitsky, Heinrich Neuhaus and Konstantin Igumnov exemplify the expressive means characteristic of the romantic piano tradition. The ties with this tradition have been lost in the art of contemporary piano interpretations, with original poetic inspiration morphing either into a demonstration of virtuosity for its own sake, or into an imitation of romantic feeling. Meanwhile, another trend in contemporary pianism can be found beyond the boundaries of mainstream tendencies. Despite the many differences in the art of such pianists as Mikhail Pletnev, Ivo Pogorelich, their interpretations are all defined by a feeling of nostalgia for the lost romantic pianism of a recent past. Their interpretations of works by Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Liszt combine sensitive intonations, a definite plasticity in their dynamic lines and freedom in their musical phrasing, along with an emotional distance and cool intellectual ratio. However, this paradoxical synthesis may very well enable a nostalgic return to a romantic world vision in our own times, which are so far from any form of romanticism.
Личность и творчество композитора как предмет мифологизации
Authors: Т.Б. Сиднева
Published: December 2024

Мифологизация творческой личности — явление, характерное для всей истории мировой культуры. Мифологизация не имеет границ: личность гения, его частная жизнь, тайны создания шедевров, судьба его произведений, и т. д. современниками и потомками превращаются в благоприятную площадку для мифотворчества. В статье рассматриваются два смежных процесса — мифологизация и мистификация личности и творчества композитора. Автор обосновывает особенную роль музыки в процессе мифотворчества. На основе выявления логики изменений отношения к творчеству композиторов и оценки музыкальных произведений разных эпох сделан вывод о неискоренимости процессов мифологизации и мистификации и их универсальном значении в современной культуре.

The mythologization of the creative personality is a phenomenon characteristic of the entire history of world culture. Mythologization knows no boundaries: the persona of a genius, their private life, the secrets of creating masterpieces, the fate of their works, and more, become fertile ground for myth-making by contemporaries and descendants. This article explores two related processes — the mythologization and mystification of the personality and work of a composer. The author substantiates the unique role of music in the process of myth-making. Based on the identification of the logic of changes in attitudes toward the work the processes of mythologization and mystification are indelible and have universal significance in modern culture.
Stirring effects on AC-induced chemoselectivity in reversible electrochemical reactions
Authors: Poh Yong Rui , Yuen-Zhou Joel
Published: December 2024

Bulk electrolysis presents a sustainable alternative to heat-driven chemical synthesis and modulating the applied potential across time, a process known as alternating current (AC) electrosynthesis, adds the possibility of chemoselectivity control. However, finding the optimal AC waveform requires scanning over a huge parameter space, a problem better tackled from a theoretical front. To this end, we recently developed the first analytical theory for chemoselectivity prediction in AC electrolysis by considering the diffusion dynamics near the electrode surface. In this follow-up study, we introduce approximations to the aforesaid model that provide valuable new insights to the problem. We also tackle a key limitation from before – the absence of stirring effects. Our analytical results suggest that stirring accelerates the reaction's approach towards its long-time steady-state outcome at a characteristic rate of D/Lx_d, where D is the molecular diffusivity, L is the electrolytic cell width, and x_d is the diffusion layer thickness. For AC frequencies faster than this rate, i.e. for ν >> D/Lx_d, the steady-state reaction outcome reached in the long time limit is the same as our previous work, which was conducted without any stirring. Therefore, given that most electrosynthetic setups employ fast AC frequencies beyond D/Lx_d, we expect our earlier predictions to be relevant to realistic scenarios.
Mechanochemical Synthesis of Dynamic Hybrid Polymer Networks using Whole Biomass
Authors: Jiang Meng , Bird Emily , Ham Woojung , Worch Joshua
Published: December 2024

Whole plant biomass from non-agricultural sources and waste biomass from processing agricultural products are promising feedstocks for biopolymer production because they are abundant and do not compete with food production. However, their processing steps are notoriously tedious with the final materials often displaying inferior performance and limited scope in their properties. Here, we report a strategy to integrate whole-cell spirulina, a green-blue algae, into mechanically robust hybrid biomass-polyimine networks by leveraging mechanochemistry. This strategy provides a greener synthetic approach to conventional solution-phase methods for polyimine synthesis, and it simultaneously overcomes persistent constraints encountered in biomass processing and derivatization. The hybrid algae-based materials retain recyclability imparted by the underlying dynamic covalent polymer matrix and display enhanced mechanical properties compared to their all-synthetic equivalents. These advantageous properties are attributed to differences in morphology between 1) the all-synthetic material and the hybrid materials and 2) their respective synthetic methods (solution-phase vs mechanochemical). Substituting spirulina with alternative biomass sources such as waste agricultural products also yields robust hybrid materials, thus highlighting the generality of this mechanochemical approach.
Spatially Separated yet Efficiently Connected: Polariton-Assisted Energy Transfer for Bilayer Organic Solar Cells
Authors: Manikandan Suraj , Bäuerle Dominik , Jayaraman Eswaran , Romero Elisabet , Madsen Morten , Wenzel Andreasen Jens
Published: December 2024

Organic solar cells (OSCs) hold significant promise as low-cost, flexible, and lightweight photovoltaic technologies. However, they encounter challenges such as instability in donor-acceptor (D-A) mixing and limited exciton dissociation in bilayer configurations. To address these issues, we propose a strategy that leverages polariton-mediated energy transfer by integrating a Fabry-Pérot cavity into bilayer OSCs. This configuration facilitates the formation of hybrid light-matter states, known as polaritons, which enable efficient energy transfer between spatially separated donor and acceptor layers. Our results indicate that the energy transfer rate ($k_t$) exhibits an $r^{-2}$ distance dependence, suggesting that the process is governed by near-field electromagnetic interactions rather than traditional Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). This distinct mechanism permits effective charge separation over extended distances, surpassing the limitations of conventional FRET. Consequently, we achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of up to 10.1\%, a notable enhancement over standard bilayer devices. Our findings demonstrate that polariton-assisted energy transfer provides a approach for improving OSC performance, offering a promising pathway to achieve both high efficiency and stability in organic photovoltaics.

Insights into the Enhanced Ceftazidime Hydrolysis by Ent385 AmpC β-lactamase from Multiscale Simulations
Authors: H. Lima Anderson , W. van der Kamp Marc
Published: December 2024

The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria poses a significant threat to public health. Particularly, they are becoming increasingly resistant to β-lactam antibiotics, one of the most important drug classes for the treatment of bacterial infections. Ceftazidime-avibactam has shown promising activity against highly drug-resistant bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales. However, an Ala294-Pro295 deletion in the Class C E. cloacae AmpC β-lactamase can confer reduced susceptibility to these agents. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhanced hydrolysis of ceftazidime by E. cloacae Ent385 AmpC β-lactamase with the deletion using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations. First, we used constant pH molecular dynamics simulations of the β-lactamase-ceftazidime acyl-enzyme complex to verify the likely protonation states, confirming Tyr150 primarily exists as a tyrosinate. We then used QM/MM (DFTB2/ff14SB) umbrella sampling to calculate reaction free energy barriers (Δ‡G) for the deacylation step of cephalosporin hydrolysis. This reveals that Tyr150 (rather than the substrate) acts as the base. Importantly, the difference in Δ‡G between the canonical E. cloacae AmpC (P99) and the Ent385 variant was in very good agreement with the difference deduced from experimental kinetic data. Detailed analysis of the transition state ensembles, alongside additional simulations, show that the Ala294-Pro295 deletion allows the entrance of an additional water molecule, that helps stabilize the tetrahedral intermediate. Overall, our QM/MM simulations provide valuable insights into the reaction mechanism and reasons for enhanced ceftazidime breakdown. This can contribute to understand other reported Class C beta-lactamase variants that confer reduced susceptibility to antibiotic treatment.

ciBAR1 loss in mice causes laterality defects, pancreatic degeneration, and altered glucose tolerance
Authors: Kim Eunice N , Li Feng-Qian , Takemaru Ken-Ichi
Published: December 2024

Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domains are highly conserved domains found in all eukaryotes. BAR domain proteins form crescent-shaped dimers that sense and sculpt curved lipid membranes and play key roles in various cellular processes. However, their functions in mammalian development are poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that Chibby1-interacting BAR domain–containing 1 (ciBAR1, formerly known as FAM92A) localizes to the ciliary base and plays a critical role in ciliogenesis. Here, we report ciliopathy phenotypes ofciBAR1-KO mice. We found that ∼28% ofciBAR1-KO mice show embryonic lethality because of randomized left–right asymmetry; the rest survive into adulthood with no gross morphological abnormalities. Histological assessments of ciliated tissues revealed exocrine pancreatic lesions. Although overall endocrine islet morphology appeared to be normal,ciBAR1-KO mice showed impaired glucose tolerance. Examination of ductal and islet cilia revealed that cilia number and length were significantly reduced inciBAR1-KO pancreata.ciBAR1-KO MEFs also exhibited ciliary defects. Our findings indicate that ciBAR1 plays a critical role in ciliogenesis depending on the tissue and cell type in mice.
From Bestial to Human: Neo-Mythological Reinterpretations of the Image of Delilah in Russian Literature at the Turn of the 20th-21st Centuries
Authors: Šroma Nataļja
Published: December 2024

The article examines one of the eternal images of the world culture in a diachronic aspect, namely the interpretation and reinterpretation of the image of Delilah in Russian literature, primarily in poetry, from the 19th century to the present day. The novelty of the article involves the introduction into the scientific context of a number of neo-mythological texts and the provided scholarly commentary, as well as the study of the poetics of the myth and neo-myth with an emphasis on the ethical aspect in the context of ideas of Dmitry Ovsyaniko-Kulikovsky.

The relevance of the goal is connected with the opportunity to solve several interrelated scientific problems, since the functioning of mythological images and biblical stories, more precisely, the vector of conceptualization of their meanings, makes it possible not only to understand the specifics of the culture of perception, but also to evaluate the moral condition of society.

In the course of the study, the following trends in the reception of the plot were identified: a consistent shift in the interest of Russian authors from the character of Samson to Delilah, a change in the system of characters and methods of narration, a change in the modality of the image of Delilah, her transformation into a predominantly idyllic character. Particular attention in the article is paid to the political conceptualization of the image of Delilah, which is associated with the inclusion of the plot into the so-called barber text of Russian literature and culture.

The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the image of Delilah becomes conceptually dual in modern neo-mythological reinterpretations. The humanization of the image of Delilah, her evolution from bestial to human can be traced in love poetry. The refocusing of the authors’ attention from Samson to Delilah in social poetry leads to an increase in her role in the eternal plot, turning her into a politically ideological killer. The conducted research may also be interesting in the aspect of gender studies, since the analyzed material gives grounds to consider the image of Delilah in modern Russian literature as one of the representations of the femme fatale.
Axiological concept of LAZINESS as an object of linguistics and psychology
Authors: Wang Lili
Published: December 2024

Modern linguistics is a polyparadigmatic science, which is distinguished, in particular, by its interest in the data of psychology. It is especially important to involve the results of psychology during the study of axiological concepts, since it must be taken into account that the assessments made by people do not always have sufficient grounds. The purpose of the research is to consider the concept of LAZINESS from the point of view of various sciences, in particular cognitive linguistics and psychology, supplementing the linguistic data with knowledge about the causes of the studied condition.

Applying a cognitive approach to the study of linguistic phenomena, we focused on differentiating the contextual meanings of the polysemic word лень: according to the criterion “character of conceptualization”, we distinguish perceptual meanings, meanings of the internal state of the subject-experiencer, and inferential meanings.

The methods of cognitive semantics made it possible to generalize the set of contextual meanings of the word; to reveal the repetitive structure of cognitive processes, in which patterns of understanding and thinking are reflected, to reconstruct such a Gestalt scenario: in the center of the simulated situation is a person who is negatively evaluated from the point of view of attitude towards laziness; assessment arises as a result of the discrepancy between the physical / psychological / psychophysiological state, character, behavior of a lazy person and the expected socio-cultural norm. Evaluation is carried out by the speaker / narrator. Since the concept of LAZINESS is inseparable from its antipode WORK, the socio-cultural norm is associated with opposite meanings: “a person should work hard, be hardworking, etc.”

From the point of view of psychology, the characteristic of a lazy person is often biased and is not always based on the study of the motives of the person being evaluated. The concept of laziness can be a reductionist explanation for why others do not act as expected. At the same time, the real motivation, abilities and qualifications of the evaluated person are almost never taken into account. These problems are explained in the discourse of psychology. Analysis of psychological literature made it possible to identify the main causes of laziness: low level of motivation; weak willpower; desire for satisfaction; a protective reaction against physical or mental stress; a kind of protest against violence against a person and some others.
Linguocultorological reasons for the different levels of somatization of sadness in languages of the world
Authors: Girina Eleonora
Published: December 2024

Considering their important role in human life the study of emotions is of great interest for linguistic science. This article is dedicated to the analysis of the phenomenon of somatization of sadness and the explanation of differences in the levels of such somatization as reflected in language.

The analysis of literature has shown that expression of sadness with the help of somatic expressions is particularly prevalent in African, South-East Asian and Australian languages. Organs that are most often associated with emotions are the heart, liver and stomach and interoception plays a great role in creating an association between an organ and an emotion. With its help a person becomes aware of the physical changes taking place inside their body, which can be caused in particular by emotions. It was established that certain associations between organs and emotions come to exist due to “somatic bridges” while others form because of “semantic shift”. It was found that the frequency of the use of somatic expressions that express emotions was reduced in English during the industrialization and that similar changes are taking place today in Chinese.

In order to explain the differences in the level of somatization it is useful to turn to the triadic structure of concepts, in accordance to which the concept “sadness” has an experiential side (an interoceptive characterization of the emotion), a notional side (a definition, verbal representation etc.) and an evaluative side. It is hypothesized that an important role of somatic expression in the expression of sadness points to the importance of the experiential side while the use of abstract words is indicative of the notional side being important. The fact that the experiential side of a concept is considered to predate the notional side explains the direction of the diachronic change from stronger somatization of emotions towards their expression with the help of more abstract notions.

The subject of the study is the cognitive features of the concept "wise", which are revealed in the conjugation of the adjective мудрый in Russian-language journalistic texts.

The purpose of the work is to reveal the cognitive features of the concept "wise" in the journalistic discourse. The empirical basis of the research was made up of the materials of the newspaper subcorpus of the National Corpus of the Russian language.

The results of the analysis made it possible to conclude that the concept "wise" in the Russian journalistic discourse includes a number of cognitive features and can characterize people or describe actions. First of all, this concept is related to intellectual perfection: if a person can make the right decision or behave correctly, then he is considered wise. Among the various professional categories of people, leaders, politicians, teachers and artists are most often recognized as wise. This circumstance may indicate that wisdom is determined not only by a high level of human intelligence, but also by the ability to influence other people, to transfer one's knowledge and experience. As a rule, wisdom is the result of life experience gained over a long time, so the word мудрый is often found in combination with the adjectives опытный and старый. Wise people have high moral qualities such as kindness, decency and patience. At the same time, very rarely in journalistic discourse (in contrast to discourses of other types) wisdom is associated with self-interested pragmatism and cunning. The sign "wise" can be metonymically transferred from subjects to decisions, actions, actions. At the same time, rational solutions that allow improving the state of affairs, overcoming difficulties, and peacefully exiting a conflict situation are recognized as wise. Language actions and their results (words, sayings, advice, rules, etc.) are often characterized by wisdom.

A Discussion on the Issue of Excessive Academic Burden among Middle School Students
Authors: Tu Pinghui
Published: December 2024

At present, the heavy academic workload of middle school students is a common problem, which is still questioned by parents, concerned by the government, and hotly debated by society. This paper summarizes the following eight aspects: the difficult content of subject courses, excessive class hours, heavy homework burden, complicated exams, overwhelming study materials, fierce subject competition, prevalent off-campus tutoring, and poor physical and mental health. Recognizing these problems can help to optimize the education and teaching environment and achieve a sustainable enrollment rate.
Self-Efficacy in Disaster Preparedness: Insights from Nurses in Emergency and Intensive Care Units

Published: December 2024

Self-efficacy is a critical factor influencing nurses' performance in disaster scenarios, particularly in high-pressure environments like Emergency Departments (ED) and Intensive Care Units (ICU). This study aimed to evaluate the self-efficacy of nurses in disaster preparedness and identify its key predictors, including demographic characteristics, training experience, and professional factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 185 nurses working in the ED and ICU of three hospitals in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected from January to February 2024 using a structured questionnaire that included the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale (DRSES). Descriptive statistics summarized demographic data and self-efficacy scores. Inferential analyses, including t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression, were performed to explore relationships between self-efficacy and potential predictors, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Disaster training experience emerged as the strongest predictor of self-efficacy (β = 0.65, p < 0.001), with nurses who underwent regular training demonstrating significantly higher confidence. Years of experience (β = 0.48, p = 0.01) and age (β = 0.25, p = 0.04) were also positively associated with self-efficacy. However, gender, education level, and marital status showed weak and non-significant correlations (r = 0.12–0.18, p > 0.05). Correlation analysis reinforced the importance of disaster training (r = 0.65, p < 0.001) and professional experience (r = 0.48, p = 0.01) in shaping self-efficacy. The findings underscore the importance of regular disaster training and leveraging professional experience to enhance self-efficacy among ED and ICU nurses. Policymakers and hospital administrators should prioritize targeted training programs to build a resilient nursing workforce capable of responding effectively to disasters
Accurate Low-Angle Tracking Using Successive Interference Cancelation and Single-Tone Frequency Estimation

Published: December 2024

This paper tackles the low-angle target tracking problem caused by surface-reflected multipaths through successive interference cancelation (SIC) and single-tone frequency (STF) estimation. The coherent specular multipath component in the received radar signal is canceled through SIC, after which the angle-of-arrival (AoA) of the direct path is accurately estimated by applying STF estimation to the interference-suppressed signal. To further improve estimation accuracy, we develop an iterative process where SIC and STF are sequentially repeated. Drawing on the AoA of the direct path estimated using STF, a more accurate AoA of the specular path is obtained by exploiting their geometrical relationship between the two paths, which is then used to suppress the specular multipath in the received radar signal more precisely during the next SIC process. Computer simulations verify that the proposed angle estimation method using SIC and STF (AE-SICSTF) outperforms conventional angle estimation methods. Furthermore, while computational complexity analysis shows that the complexity of each iteration in AE-SICSTF is comparable to that in three-dimensional beam-domain maximum likelihood, it is also found that the former requires less than 10 iterations to converge the root mean square error performance, resulting in considerably less computing time than the refined maximum likelihood and root-MUSIC algorithms.
A Wideband High-Gain All-Metal Antenna under Quad Resonances Realized by Folding a Simple Patch

Published: December 2024

This paper presents a novel wideband antenna with a simple structure comprising an integrated microstrip patch antenna (MPA) and three shorted microstrip patch antennas (SMPAs). These four radiators constitute an antenna that operates under quad resonances and achieves a wide frequency bandwidth. Since all units are electrically connected, the antenna can be easily fabricated by folding a single metallic strip to realize an all-metal antenna structure, leading to enhanced resistance to extreme environmental conditions and lower power loss. An antenna prototype was used to validate the proposed concept. The measurement results indicated that the proposed handmade structure, which employed probe excitation with overall electrical dimensions of 0.29λ × 0.27λ × 0.11λ, can acquire an impedance frequency bandwidth of 67% for S11 ≤ -10 dB from 1.6–3.2 GHz and achieve a maximum boresight gain of up to 10 dB. The wide frequency bandwidth, high gain, and simple structure make this antenna a promising candidate for wideband mobile systems.

To address the optimization problem of electric field intensity in multi-target areas under transmission lines, this work suggests combining the enhanced improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) with the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). First, using finite element simulation software, a transmission line shielding model was created. Next, the number, erection height, and phase spacing of the shielding lines were studied in relation to electric field strength. Drawing on these results, field strength shielding in many target locations was optimized using the AHP-IPSO algorithm. Research has demonstrated that the electric field intensity beneath a transmission line can be greatly decreased by installing shielded cables, and that the peak field intensity can be decreased by 28.4% by installing three insulated wires. The AHP-IPSO algorithm effectively solved the multi-factor electric field shielding optimization problem, thus offering a novel method for addressing such problems. Compared to other algorithms, the AHP-IPSO algorithm exhibits better optimization performance and offers better shielding efficiency, while also accounting for the economic aspects of shielded wire erection.
