Authors: - Imamuddin , Ali Abdul Karim
Published: June 2024

This study will discuss the thought of KH. Abdul Hamid in the Kitab of Tarjuman (1800-1900 BC) on the subject of law. The Kitab of Tarjamun was extensively read by the students, scholars, sheikh, and the society at large, particularly in the Pamekasan regency, East Java. The Kitab of Tarjamun is essentially the kitab of tawhid (oneness of God) and fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). However, its extensively discuss the subject of fiqh muammalah, to name a few, such as taharah (abolition), prayer, fasting, inheritance, pilgrimage, marriage, and the general discourse. The objective of this study is to identify the roles of the KH Abdul Hamid’s thought in the Kitab of Tarjamun. To meet this objective, the researcher uses a qualitative method of library research. The study finds that the thought of KH Abdul Hamid has crucial roles in following areas, such as karapan sapi (the festival of cow racing). Hence, the Kitab of Tarjuman introduced by KH Abdul Hamid can solves the social issues and problems in Pamekasan.

Authors: Mohd Noh Mohd Shahid
Published: June 2024

Economic sustainability is a branch from the objective of hifz al-mal under the framework of Maqasid al-Shariah. In macro perspective, it potentially brings maslahah to society on the long run and generates prosperity in human life. This paper clarifies how Islam views the economic sustainability as well as the pillars or main tenets of it. Then, this paper also clarifies the principles for achieving economic development derived from the evidences of Al-Quran and Sunnah which also aligned with the Maqasid al-Shariah. Besides, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as initiated by United Nations also seemed aligned with the Maqasid al-Shariah in in realizing economic sustainability in society. This paper justifies zakat and waqf are the main instruments that proven the effectivity in creating sustainability by having consistent income and well distributed among recipients and beneficiaries for various causes and reasons for economic purposes. This paper also suggests to enhance further research in this particular topic empirically in order to guide industry players to decide or act towards the sustainability.

Authors: Nur Rashid Zubair Amir , Mazri Mardia , Rosele Muhammad Ikhlas
Published: June 2024

Pandemik Covid-19 memberikan impak yang besar kepada ekonomi dan sosial masyarakat dunia. Islam sebagai suatu cara hidup tentunya mempunyai jalan keluar kepada pelbagai permasalahan-permasalahan yang berlaku termasuk ijtihad berkaitan solat fardu berjemaah, solat jemaah serta perkara lain berkaitan masjid dan surau. Dalam masa yang sama, pelaksanaan Program Imunisasi Kebangsaan Covid-19 yang dilancarkan oleh kerajaan Malaysia menuntut penglibatan semua agensi dan memaksimum penggunaan fasiliti yang ada. Sebahagian pihak mencadangkan masjid agar turut terlibat dalam Pusat Pemberian Vaksin (PPV) yang merupakan salah satu daripada fasiliti kesihatan. Bagi kajian jangka panjang, kajian ini dilakukan bagi mengkaji hukum menggunakan masjid sebagai pusat rawatan kepada masyarakat setempat. Kajian akan menggunakan metod kajian kualititatif dengan mengkaji pandangan-pandangan ulama serta prosedur pihak Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) bagi membuat pertimbangan hukum syarak dengan keadaan semasa. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa masjid boleh dijadikan pusat perubatan sementara jika memenuhi syarat-syarat tertentu seperti fasiliti kesihatan sedia ada berada dalam keadaan kritikal, ketiadaan dewan atau fasiliti lain serta tidak menggunakan kawasan dewan solat utama. Fungsi utama masjid sebagai rumah ibadat tidak menghalang kegiatan sosial dijalankan sebagaimana yang telah berlaku di dunia Islam sebelumnya namun menasihatkan pihak berkuasa agama mestilah menjaga sensitiviti umat Islam dengan meraikan hukum-hakam khusus berkaitan masjid.

Pendekatan Fatwa Majlis Ulama Indonesia (Mui) Dalam Isu Perkahwinan Beza Agama Di Indonesia Dari Perspektif Maqasid Al-Shari'ah The Maqasid al-Shari'ah Perspective on the Indonesia Council of Ulama (MUI) Fatwa Regarding Interreligious Marriage in Indonesia
Authors: Hakim Abdul , Ahmad Ridzwan , Syed Jaafar Syed Mohd Jefri
Published: June 2024

Di Indonesia hubungan sosial dan budaya dalam kalangan pelbagai kaum dan agama dianggap salah satu faktor utama berlakunya perkahwinan beza agama. Kerajaan Indonesia mewartakan Undang-undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkahwinan, serta Instruksi Presiden Republik Indonesia Nomor 1 Tahun 1991 tentang Kompilasi Hukum Islam. Dalam Undang-undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 Pasal 2 ayat (1) disebutkan: “Perkawinan adalah sah, apabila dilakukan menurut hukum masing-masing agamanya dan kepercayaannya itu”. Fatwa Komisi Majlis Ulama Indonesia telah mengeluarkan Fatwa dalam Musyawarah Nasional II tanggal 11-17 Rajab 1400 H/26 Mei- 1 June 1980 M tentang larangan perkahwinan beza agama sama ada lelaki beragama Islam berkahwin dengan perempuan musyrikah atau ahl-Kitab atau perempuan beragama Islam berkahwin lelaki musyrik atau ahl-kitab. Tujuan kajian ini untuk menganal pasti fatwa MUI tentang perniakhan beza agama dari perspektif maqasid al-Shari’ah. Kajian ini menggua pakai metode dokumentasi, manakala analisis data pula dilakukan melalui metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan menjadikan maqasid al-shari’ah sebagai kayu ukur utama. Dapatan kajian ini, pendapat mayoriti ulama bahawa pernikahan beza agama adalah harus. Sedangakan fatwa MUI lebih menepati maqasid al-shari’ah dibawah daruriyyah al-Khams dari sudut pemeliharaan terhadap agama dan keturunan iaitu pernikahan beza agama hukumnya haram, kerana ia lebih besar mudaratnya daripada maslahahnya. Selaian itu, perkahwinan beza agama akan menyebabkan berlakunya percampuran agama Islam dengan agama yang lain dari sudut amalan seharian.

LPI periodic sequence design against cyclic spectrum analysis
Authors: Liu Qiang , Guo Fucheng , Xiong Kunlai , Liu Zhang-Meng
Published: June 2024

Low Probability of Intercept(LPI) periodic sequences with low
autocorrelation sidelobes are desired in many application, especially in
LPI radar systems. In this letter, we propose an algorithm to design LPI
periodic sequences that counteract cyclic spectrum analysis while
maintaining low autocorrelation sidelobe characteristics. We begin by
simplifying the weighted cyclic frequency sidelobe (WCFS) level into a
quadratic form, and then minimize the WCFS level to better approximate
the cyclic spectrum of Gaussian white noise. To ensure the accuracy and
detection capability of the solution, we introduce a Peak-to-Average
Power Ratio (PAPR) condition for the power spectrum, which is
subsequently transformed into a frequency constraint. Finally,
leveraging the cyclic algorithm(CA), we introduce a monotonic WCFS
minimization algorithm to address the aforementioned optimization
problem. The simulation results presented in this letter demonstrate the
correctness and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.
Shifts in maritime trade routes as a result of Red Sea Shipping Crisis detected in TROPOMI NO2 data

Published: June 2024

Observations from space-borne spectrometers have been lately used to
quantify shipping emissions of nitrogen oxides (ΝΟΧ). Here we present a
method that enhances the shipping signal of NO2 TROPOspheric MOnitoring
Instrument (TROPOMI) satellite sensor observations in order to assess
the impact of the Red Sea ship attacks on NO2 levels in three important
shipping routes along the Red Sea, the Cape of Good Hope, and the
Gibraltar Strait. Major shipping carriers, sailing usually via the Red
Sea, have responded to the attacks by transiting their fleet around the
African continent. The shipping signal from TROPOMI declines by
~50% in the Red Sea and ~10% in the
Gibraltar Strait while an increase of ~40% is found off
the South African coast between January-March 2024 and the same period
in 2023. These changes correlate well with vessel statistics,
demonstrating the ability to track abrupt changes in NO2 shipping levels
with satellite measurements.
“I eat chocolate milk for dinner because we just have nothing in our fridge”: The invisible burden and dire consequences of food insecurity for people with cystic fibrosis in the United States

Published: June 2024

Background: One-third of people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) are
food insecure, with profound negative implications for their health.
This qualitative study explored lived experiences with food insecurity
among PwCF or their caregivers and summarized their perspectives on food
insecurity screening in the CF programs where they receive care.
Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted
with two groups: (1) adults with CF and (2) parents or caregivers of
children with CF. PwCF or their caregivers with previously documented
food insecurity were referred for participation by pediatric and adult
CF programs across the United States. Interviews were recorded and
transcribed, and data were coded and analyzed by two independent coders
using a content-analysis approach with a constant comparative method to
generate themes. Results: A total of 26 participants from 22 CF
programs were interviewed. The sample included 17 adults with CF and 9
parents of children with CF. Participants were predominantly White
(88%) and female (92%). Five overarching themes emerged: (1) Food
insecurity among CF patients and their families is onerous; (2)
Financial constraints imposed by the CF disease contribute to food
insecurity; (3) Federal and state programs provide limited food
assistance, and other support is minimal; (4) Shame and stigma engulf
conversations around food insecurity with CF care teams; (5) Food
insecurity screening in clinical settings is critical.
Conclusions: Food insecurity among PwCF is invisible, but its
consequences are dire. Assistance is limited, screening is inconsistent,
and stigma is widespread. There is an urgent need to normalize food
insecurity screening, standardize the screening process, and expand food
assistance programs for PwCF.
Event-triggered Asynchronous Distributed MPC for Multi-Quadrotor Systems with Communication Delays
Authors: Liu Chun , Shu Yupeng , Xu Liang , Jin Yihuan , Xu Guijia , Li Kuan , Chen Hongtian
Published: June 2024

This paper investigates the formation composition and keeping problem
for multi-quadrotor systems under time-varying communication delays.
First, a distributed model predictive control (MPC) approach is employed
to transform the formation composition and keeping of multi-quadrotor
systems into an online rolling optimization issue, accompanied by the
event-triggered mechanism to reduce solution frequency and communication
load. Second, to address the asynchrony and time-varying communication
delays introduced by event-triggered distributed MPC, a set of
constraints is designed to restrict deviations between the current
predictive state and previously broadcasted states. Consequently, based
on the previously predicted states of neighbors, the cooperation of the
multi-quadrotor systems is achieved under asynchronous communication and
time-varying delays. This approach guarantees robust asymptotic
stability and satisfactory formation performance for multi-quadrotor
systems under various delay scenarios. Finally, the numerical and
software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulations validate the effectiveness of the
proposed algorithm of multi-quadrotors under communication delays.
Review: Advancing Battery Recycling Li-ion Current Trends and Future Outlooks (EVs And Hybrid Vehicle’s) Author name- Md.Fazurulla
Authors: Mohammed Fazurulla
Published: June 2024

As we move towards the future, the shift to electric transportation is
crucial in reducing our carbon footprint and enhancing air quality.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are essential to meet consumer needs and achieve
this goal. However, this growth presents challenges such as increased
demand for materials like lithium and cobalt leading to scarcity and
environmental concerns. Moreover, proper management of EV batteries is
crucial to recover valuable components and minimize environmental impact
as they are hazardous. As EVs approach the end of their life, proper
disposal or recycling is necessary to prevent environmental
contamination and maximize resource recovery. I evaluate current
approaches to recycling and reusing electric-vehicle batteries and
suggest areas for future progress.
Earthquake growth inhibited at higher Coulomb stress rate at Groningen.
Authors: Tamama Yuri , Acosta Mateo , Bourne Stephen James , Avouac Jean-Philippe
Published: June 2024

Gas extraction from the Groningen gas field resulted in significant
induced seismicity. We analyze the magnitude-frequency distribution of
these earthquakes in space, time and in view of stress changes
calculated based on gas production and reservoir properties. Previous
studies suggested variations related to reservoir geometry and
decreasing b-value with increasing Coulomb stress. While we confirm the
spatial variations, we do not detect a clear sensitivity of b-value to
Coulomb stress. However, we find that b-value correlates positively with
Coulomb stress rate. This correlation is statistically significant and
robust to uncertainties related to stress calculation. This study thus
points to a possible influence of stress rate on the magnitude
probability of induced earthquakes.

Emergence of the discourse on the imitability of the Qur’an
Authors: Gharaibeh-Simonovic Meysun
Published: June 2024

Numerous disciplines emerged for interpreting and assessing the Qur?an,
establishing the dogma of its incomparable text. Over time, an
interpretative community coalesced around this axiom, shaping and expanding
the discourse on the Qur?an?s inimitability. In parallel, a
counter-discourse, termed in this paper as ?the imitability of the Qur?an,?
evolved, illustrating its genesis and the methods of its interpretative
community. This discourse encompasses two manifestations: linguistic and
stylistic imitation of the Qur?an and a critical approach viewing the Qur?an
as a text that imitates others, raising uncertainties about its motives,
authorship, originality, and authenticity.

looking at the world give us pictures of different worlds. In the text
?Zhuangzi: Oblivion and Happiness?, I will try to shed light on the various
possibilities that the term ?zuo wang ??? offers us. In this light, the
possibility opens up to understand to what extent it is the path to our
happiness. At the same time, numerous philosophical questions arise: the

Language, conceptualization, and cultural linguistics. The role of culture in the formation of cognitive schemas in languages
Authors: Safari Saeed
Published: June 2024

The relationship between language, culture, and cognition is a key aspect
within the interdisciplinary feild of cultural linguistics research. It
attempts to describe how language reflects and shows cultural norms, values,
and beliefs, throught cognitive frameworks like conceptualization, schema,
and categorization. Meanwhile, studies in cognitive linguistics also have
shown that language is formed based on conceptualizations and schemas
directly influenced by culture. This paper, in its theoretical section,
reviews the key concepts of cultural linguistics and its background.
Additionally, it presents a case study on the Persian language, aiming to
examine the cultural conceptualizations of ?politeness? and the cultural
schema of Iranian compliment Ta?arof by reviewing and analysing various
examples. The analysis indicates that selecting and using specific language
features can serve as indicators of conceptualizations or of specific
cognitive schemas rooted in culture, consequently confirming the notion that
culture significantly shapes language.
The impact of Japonisme on European art and painting in the late 19th century: Characteristics of cultural exchange during the rise of European imperialism
Authors: Sekulic Nada
Published: June 2024

Since the opening of Japan to trade with the West, a cult of Japanese
aesthetics in the art and design has been created in Europe. Japonisme
exerted a remarkable influence on the emergence of Impressionism and
Post-Impressionism, including a recognizable individual influence on key
artists within those movements. Motifs, technique, composition, colors were
directly borrowed from Japanese art, especially woodcats (ukiyo-e).
Japonisme also influenced some later movements in painting and design, but
Impressionism and Post-Impressionism represented the initial turning point.
Only by considering the imperial expansion of Europe is possible to
understand the essential components of that transmission, which requires not
only art criticism, but rather, in its complexity, significantly overflows
into the field of social critique and anthropology of art. The aim of this
study is to trace the pathways and networks of exchange and power that
facilitated the spread of Japonisme in Europe - to show how elements of
Japanese culture were adopted, assimilated, and to what extent the
inventions and originality of new styles and the establishment of new
aesthetic standards relied on the dominant position of European culture,
which could appropriate elements from other cultures. The study highlights
how this transfer was marked by an exotic and Orientalist vision of Japan in
Europe and examines the reception of the exoticization of Japan within Japan
itself.
Prevalence of vaginal infections and compliance of empirically prescribed therapy with the results of vaginal swabs in the female population at the level of primary health care
Authors: Marjanovic-Milosevic Tanja , Lepes-Bingold Brigita , Novakov-Mikic Aleksandra
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Vaginal infections are the most common reason for gynecological
exams. Due to the absence of national guidelines on screening and treatment,
therapy is prescribed empirically. The aim of this study is to determine (1)
the prevalence of vaginal infections in community practice setting, (2)
infection prevalence across different groups, and (3) appropriateness of
empirical therapy. Material and Methods. Results from 1770 vaginal swabs
collected between June 2021 and June 2023 were classified into three groups:
group 1 - young adult women (? 25 years), group 2 - women of reproductive
age (26-45 years), group 3 - peri- and postmenopausal women (?46 years). The
study analyzed the population prevalence of vaginal infections, including
bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and pathogenic bacterial
groups, as well as the appropriateness of the prescribed empirical therapy.
Results. The prevalence of vaginal infection was 41.07%, with 24.07% of the
population exhibiting symptomatic infections, and the remaining 17% having
positive swab results subsequently. The population prevalence of bacterial
vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and pathogenic bacteria was 41.95%,
35.62% and 22.42%, respectively. The highest prevalence was observed in
group 1, followed by group 3, and the lowest in group 2 (51.02%, 42.6%,
38.7%, respectively, p=0.175). The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis and
vulvovaginal candidiasis in group 1 was 54.95%/45.04%, in group 2 was
53%/46.93%, and in group 3 was 57.69%/42.3% (p=0.028). Pathogenic bacteria
isolation was highest in group 3 (49.4%) and lowest in group 1 (21.79%).
Correction of empirical therapy was required in 36.55% of symptomatic women.
Conclusion. Bacterial vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis exhibit similar
prevalence rates in groups 1 and 2, while pathogenic bacteria infections are
most common group 3. When choosing therapy, it is important to consider
patient age in relation to other predisposing factors associated with
vaginal infections.

1438-P: Trends in Obesity and GLP-1RA Use among Youth and Adults with Type 1 Diabetes in U.S. Health System—2008–2022
Authors: XU YUNWEN , FANG MICHAEL , CORESH JOSEF , GRAMS MORGAN , SELVIN ELIZABETH , SHIN JUNG-IM
Published: June 2024

Introduction & Objective: As data on medication use in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is scarce, we aimed to characterize trends in obesity and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) use among US youth and adults with T1D from 2008-2022.

Methods: We identified patients with T1D using a validated algorithm using deidentified electronic health record data from the Optum Labs Data Warehouse. Body mass index (BMI) categories were based on age- and sex-specific percentiles for youth (2-19 years) and WHO criteria for adults (≥20 years). We characterized trends in overweight and obesity, and GLP1-RA prescriptions by BMI categories from 2008-2010 to 2020-2022.

Results: We included 159,879 patients with T1D (19% youth, mean age 39 years, 49% female, 77% non-Hispanic White). From 2008-2010 to 2020-2022, obesity in youth increased from 19% to 26% (P<.001), and severe obesity from 4% to 11% (P<.001) (Figure A). In adults, obesity rose from 28% in 2008-2010 to 37% in 2020-2022 (P<.001) (Figure B). There was a rapid uptake of GLP-1RA over the last 15 years, particularly in severe obesity (Figure C-D). In 2020-2022, GLP-1RA was used by 18% of youth and 34% of adults with severe obesity.

Conclusion: Obesity has reached epidemic levels in patients with T1D. The off-label prescription of GLP-1RA significantly increased over time, especially in severe obesity. More data on GLP-1RA's effects in the T1D population is needed.

Introduction: The efficacy and safety of tirzepatide for the treatment of overweight/obesity are well established in adults with type 2, but not type 1, diabetes (T1D). We aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide for the treatment of obesity in adults with T1D.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of adults with T1D treated with tirzepatide for obesity. Exclusion criteria: tirzepatide use for <3 months, use of other antiobesity medications, and active malignancy. Endpoints: total body weight loss (TBWL) percentage at 3, 6, and 12 months of treatment; TBWL%, change in HbA1c, total daily insulin dose [TDD], and continuous glucose monitor parameters (time in-, above-, and below range [TIR, TAR, and TBR, respectively]) from baseline to last-follow-up; and incidence of side effects, severe hypoglycemia, and diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA). We used matched pair t-test to analyze data. Data are presented as median [IQR].

Results: We included 52 patients: 58% female, 98% White, age 50 years [39-58], BMI 36 kg/m2 [32-42]. TBWL at 3, 6, and 12 months was 6% [3-9] (n=44), 8% [5-15] (n=29), and 14% [7-22] (n=13), respectively (p<0.001 for all). From baseline to the last follow up, median time of 6 months [4-11], TBWL% decreased by 8% [5-14], Hba1c by 1% [0.2-1.8], TDD by 32% [6-45], and TAR by 28% [8-48], p<0.001 for all. TIR increased by 29% [3-55], p<0.001. There was a trend for a decrease in TBR of 32% [0-78], p=0.08. No episodes of severe hypoglycemia or DKA were recorded. The incidence of side effects was 26%, the most common was nausea (15%). Two patients (4%) discontinued tirzepatide due to side effects.

Conclusion: In adults with T1D, tirzepatide led to significant weight loss, better diabetes control, and lower insulin requirements without causing severe hypoglycemia or DKA over the course of up to 12 months. The side effect profile mimicked what has been reported. These data support the effectiveness and safety of tirzepatide for the treatment of obesity in adults with T1D.

1936-LB: The Challenge of Obtaining Diabetes Technology Supplies in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: WELCH ANDREW A. , KNOERL THOMAS , KOPRAS ELIZABETH J. , CORATHERS SARAH , FALCIGLIA MERCEDES
Published: June 2024

Background: Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) face barriers to reliably obtain prescribed technology supplies (continuous glucose monitors [CGM]/insulin pump supplies). The frequency of annual supply access interruptions (ASAI) and the associated burden (emotional, financial, time) with this process are unclear.

Objective: To quantify ASAI of technology supplies/insulin and associated burden in adults with T1D.

Methods: A 64-question online survey was distributed to the T1D Exchange registry for US adults with T1D. ASAI was defined as total instances that individuals ran out of CGM, insulin pump supplies, and/or insulin in the past year. The burden to obtain supplies was assessed by a 1-10 scale (10 = strongly agree). Means and SD were reported. Significance of comparisons was assessed with t-tests or ANOVA for parametric data, and Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis tests for non-parametric data (significant = p<0.05).

Results: Responses were completed by 2151 surveyed. Mean age was 49 years, 73% female, average A1C 6.7%, with 96% and 80% utilizing CGM and insulin pumps respectively. ASAI averaged 1.8 and varied significantly based on gender (Female = 1.9), insurance (Medicaid = 3.9), income (None = 3.23), race (Black = 3.0), and location (Rural = 2.3). Emotional burden (worry about running out of supplies) was significantly higher in women, those without insurance, lower annual income, and non-white race. A 10 was reported for “It is difficult to afford supplies” by 13% and “I spend too much time obtaining supplies” by 11%. Early CGM and insulin pump cannula failures were reported by 45% and 48% of respondents respectively. The top reason for ASAI was “Required prior authorization” in 36% of respondents. The top strategies to avoid ASAI were “Call supply company to request extra supplies” (25.9%), and “Use supply for longer than recommended” (25.5%).

Conclusion: Challenges in obtaining diabetes supplies are significant and disproportionately affect certain socioeconomic groups with T1D.

Published: June 2024

Introduction & Objective: We assessed if continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics accurately identify imminent stage 3 T1D diagnosis in those with islet autoantibody (IAb) positivity.

Methods: Baseline CGM data were collected from participants with ≥1 positive IAb type from five studies: ASK (N=79), BDR (N=22), DAISY (N=18), DIPP (N=8), and TrialNet (N=91). Median follow-up time was 2.6 y (IQR: 1.5 to 3.6 y). A CGM and baseline factor model and a baseline-only model were compared. CGM model classified participants as low (N=97), medium (N=74), or high (N=47) risk of stage 3 T1D based on <10%, 10-<30%, and ≥30% probability by year 2.

Results: CGM model found % time >140 mg/dL (TA140), area under the curve 140 mg/dL (AUC140), glucose SD, sex, first degree relative, IA2A, and GADA status were more predictive of T1D progression compared to the baseline-only model (C-statistic: 0.76 vs. 0.62). The probability of developing T1D by 2 years was 4%, 17%, and 51% in the low, medium, and high risk groups (Figure). Compared to low risk participants, high risk participants had higher TA140 (median: 10% vs 2%), AUC140 (mean: 2.9 vs. 1.1 mg/dL), and glucose SD (mean: 24 vs. 18 mg/dL).

Conclusion: CGM metrics can help predict T1D progression and classify participant’s risk of impending T1D diagnosis. CGM can be used to better monitor the risk of T1D progression and define eligibility for potential prevention trials.

Trends and inequalities in diabetes-related complications among US adults, 2000-2020
Authors: Saelee Ryan , McKeever Bullard Kai , A. Hora Israel , E. Pavkov Meda , J. Pasquel Francisco , S. Holliday Christopher , R. Benoit Stephen
Published: June 2024

Objective: We examined national trends in diabetes-related complications (heart failure [HF] myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, end-stage renal disease [ESRD], nontraumatic lower extremity amputations [NLEA], and hyperglycemic crisis) among US adults with diagnosed diabetes during 2000–2020 by age group, race and ethnicity, and sex. We also assessed trends in inequalities among those subgroups. Research Design and Methods: Hospitalization rates for diabetes-related complications among adults (≥18 years) were estimated using the 2000-2020 National Inpatient Sample. The incidence of diabetes-related ESRD was estimated using the United States Renal Data System. The number of US adults with diagnosed diabetes was estimated from the National Health Interview Survey. Annual percent change (APC) was estimated to assess trends. Results: After declines in the early 2000s, hospitalization rates increased for HF (2012-2020, APC: 3.9%, p<0.001), stroke (2009-2020, APC: 2.8%, p<0.001), and NLEA (2009-2020, APC: 5.9%, p<0.001) while ESRD incidence increased (2010-2020, APC:1.0%, p=0.044). Hyperglycemic crisis increased from 2000-2020 (APC: 2.2% p<0.001). MI hospitalizations declined during 2000-2008 (APC: -6.0%, p<0.001) and were flat thereafter. On average, age inequalities declined for hospitalizations for heart failure, MI, stroke, and ESRD incidence but increased for hyperglycemic crisis. Sex inequalities increased on average for hospitalizations for stroke and NLEA, and for ESRD incidence. Racial and ethnic inequalities declined during 2012-2020 for ESRD incidence but increased for HF, stroke, and hyperglycemic crisis. Conclusions: There was a continued increase of several complications in the past decade. Age, sex, and racial and ethnic inequalities have worsened for some complications.
“Russians’ Favorite Pastime Is Standing in Line”: Frank Whitson Fetter about Trade and Food Situation in Kazan (1930)
Authors: Абилова Р.О.
Published: June 2024

В статье рассматриваются положение в торговле и продовольственная ситуация в Казани в период реализации первого пятилетнего плана на основе анализа письменных и визуальных источников, созданных американским экономистом Франком Уитсоном Феттером (1899–1991) во время его шестинедельного визита в 1930 г. Будучи опытным экономистом, Феттер использовал разнообразный арсенал инструментов для изучения экономической ситуации в стране: включенное наблюдение, беседы, фото- и киносъемку. Он ежедневно посещал казанские кооперативы и рынки, фиксируя полевые данные и информацию о съемках, а затем на их основе делал подробные записи в дневнике. В настоящее время значительная часть собранных материалов, включающих более 300 фотографий, хранится в Библиотеке редких книг и рукописей им. Дэвида М. Рубенштейна Дюкского университета (США). Особое внимание в них уделено ситуации, сложившейся в торговле Казани: товарному ассортименту, динамике цен, перебоям в государственном снабжении, санитарному состоянию частных рынков и заведений государственно-кооперативной торговой сети, очередям, поведению продавцов и покупателей, а также в сфере потребления – зарплатам, карточной системе, питанию, наличию и качеству одежды и обуви. Феттер стал свидетелем усиливавшегося товарного дефицита и нараставшего недовольства казанцев, формировавшихся на этапе коренного перелома в экономической системе СССР. В статье раскрывается его взгляд на сформировавшуюся ситуацию и приводятся сделанные им фотографии.

The article examines trade and food situation in Kazan during the first five-year plan based on the analysis of written and visual sources created by American economist Frank Whitson Fetter (1899–1991) during his six-week visit in 1930. As a professional economist, Fetter used a wide variety of tools to study the economic situation in the Soviet Union: participant observation, interviews, photography, and filming. He visited Kazan cooperatives and markets daily and recorded field data in his notebooks. Based on them, Fetter made detailed records in his journal. Currently, a significant part of the collected materials, including more than 300 photographs, is kept at David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Duke University (USA). Particular attention in Fetter’s materials is paid to the Kazan trade situation (the behavior of sellers and buyers, queues, range of goods, price dynamics, interruptions in government supply, sanitary condition of private markets and establishments of the state cooperative trading network) and consumers’ status (their salaries, rationing system, food, availability and quality of clothing and footwear). Fetter witnessed the growing shortage of goods and the growing discontent of Kazan citizens during a radical change in the economic system of the USSR. The article reveals his view of the situation and provides photographs taken by him.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning’s role in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury
Authors: Cheungpasitporn Wisit , Thongprayoon Charat , Kashani Kianoush B.
Published: June 2024

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a serious complication in critically ill patients, resulting in higher mortality, morbidity, and cost. The intricate pathophysiology of SA-AKI requires vigilant clinical monitoring and appropriate, prompt intervention. While traditional statistical analyses have identified severe risk factors for SA-AKI, the results have been inconsistent across studies. This has led to growing interest in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to predict SA-AKI better. ML can uncover complex patterns beyond human discernment by analyzing vast datasets. Supervised learning models like XGBoost and RNN-LSTM have proven remarkably accurate at predicting SA-AKI onset and subsequent mortality, often surpassing traditional risk scores. Meanwhile, unsupervised learning reveals clinically relevant sub-phenotypes among diverse SA-AKI patients, enabling more tailored care. In addition, it potentially optimizes sepsis treatment to prevent SA-AKI through continual refinement based on patient outcomes. However, utilizing AI/ML presents ethical and practical challenges regarding data privacy, algorithmic biases, and regulatory compliance. AI/ML allows early risk detection, personalized management, optimal treatment strategies, and collaborative learning for SA-AKI management. Future directions include real-time patient monitoring, simulated data generation, and predictive algorithms for timely interventions. However, a smooth transition to clinical practice demands continuous model enhancements and rigorous regulatory oversight. In this article, we outlined the conventional methods used to address SA-AKI and explore how AI and ML can be applied to diagnose and manage SA-AKI, highlighting their potential to revolutionize SA-AKI care.
