Published: July 2023

Recent researches indicated that metal nanoparticles which have the unique optical properties can be used to enhance the spectral response of the photovoltaic modules. Since most of the nanoparticles have enhancement effects in a specific wavelength range, improving the spectral response of the photovoltaic modules in a broadband range is crucial for their applications in imaging, energy harvesting, and optical communication. In this study, flower-like silver particles are applied to achieve the enhancement effects in a broadband range. The optical absorption of photovoltaic modules is improved in a broad wavelength range of 400~2000 nm by immobilizing flower-like silver particles onto an amorphous Si p-i-n structure, and the peak responsivity of the spectral response is enhanced by about 10 times. Theoretical investigation further elaborates that the enhancement originates from the near-field effects of silver particles due to the interaction of different parts of the flower-like silver particles. Through these studies, we demonstrate that, utilizing the subwavelength silver particles with roughness surface can achieve the spectral response of the photovoltaic modules enhanced in broadband range, which can improve the utilization efficiency of optical energy for the applications of sensing, imaging, optical communication, and energy harvesting.
Will green financial policy influence energy consumption structure? Evidence from pilot zones for green finance reform and innovation in China
Authors: Cui Genghao , Mao Huizhen , Dong Xin , Liang Qianxu , Shao Lin , Wang Miao
Published: July 2023

We consider the pilot zones for green finance reform and innovation (PZGFRI) set up in 2017 as a quasi-natural experiment, and we adopt the synthetic control method (SCM) to evaluate the possible policy effects of the PZGFRI on the energy consumption structure (ECS) based on panel data from 30 provincial-level administrative regions from 2013 to 2019. The empirical results reveal that the PZGFRI set-up plays a key role in influencing the ECS. The PZGFRI policy significantly optimizes the ECS in both Zhejiang and Guizhou Provinces, with the investigative result in Guizhou Province being better than that in Zhejiang Province. Meanwhile, ranking, placebo, and robustness tests were still valid. This study contributes to a better understanding of the effectiveness of China’s PZGGRI policy on the ECS.

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a prevalent disorder characterized by recurrent episodic upper airway obstruction. In a dataset from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), we applied principal component analysis (PCA) on seven measures characterizing SDB-associated respiratory events. We estimated the association of the top two SDB PCs with serum levels of 617 metabolites, in both single-metabolite analysis, and a joint, penalized regression analysis using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Discovery analysis included n = 3,299 HCHS/SOL individuals; associations were validated in a separate dataset of n = 1,522 HCHS/SOL individuals. Seven metabolite associations with SDB PCs were discovered and replicated. Metabolite risk scores (MRSs) developed based on LASSO association results and representing metabolite signatures associated with the two SDB PCs were associated with 6-year incident hypertension and incident diabetes. MRSs have the potential to serve as biomarkers for SDB, guiding risk stratification and treatment decisions.

Published: July 2023

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic illness with numerous psychological complications such as depression, and pain sense.Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni(stevia) is well-recognized due to its sweet taste and beneficial activities in blood glucose modulation. This study aimed to examine the effects of Stevia and Nano-stevia on the modulation of depression and pain behaviors in male diabetic rats. Methods Type 2 diabetes mellitus was produced via a single intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg). Depression and pain behaviors were assessed using the forced swim test (FST) and formalin test, respectively. Results The results showed that induction of diabetes leads to enhancement of blood glucose, immobility time in the FST, as well as the duration of flexing and licking behaviors both in the early and late phases of the formalin in male diabetic rats. Hence, induction of diabetes in male rats caused hyperglycemia, depressant-like effect, and hyperalgesic response which were reversed by drug treatment. Moreover, intra-gastrically administration of Stevia (1 ml/kg) and Nano-stevia (1 ml/kg) reversed the hyperglycemia, depressant-like effect, and hyperalgesic response in male diabetic rats. Interestingly, Nano-stevia showed the highest significant effect rather than Stevia. Conclusions The results of this study proposed the beneficial effects of Stevia and especially Nano-stevia on inducing anti-diabetic effects, antidepressant-like response, as well as the analgesic effects in male diabetic rats.
Robust single-trial event-related potentials differentiate between Distress and Fear disorders
Authors: Randau Martin , Reinholt Nina , Pernet Cyril , Oranje Bob , Rasmussen Belinda , Arnfred Sidse
Published: July 2023

Recent evidence indicates that measures of brain functioning as indexed
by event-related potentials (ERP) on the electroencephalogram aligns
more closely to transdiagnostic measures of psychopathology than to
categorical taxonomies. The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology
(HiTOP) is a transdiagnostic, dimensional framework aiming to solve
issues of comorbidity, symptom heterogeneity and arbitrary diagnostic
boundaries. Based on shared features, the emotional disorders are
allocated into subfactors Distress and Fear. Evidence indicate that
disorders which are close in the HiTOP hierarchy share etiology, symptom
profiles and treatment outcome. However, further studies testing the
biological underpinnings of the HiTOP are called for. In this study, we
assessed differences between Distress and Fear in a range of
well-studied ERP components. Fifty-one patients with emotional disorders
were divided into two groups (Distress, N = 26; Fear, N = 25) according
to HiTOP criteria and compared against 37 healthy comparison subjects
(HC). Addressing issues in traditional ERP preprocessing and analysis
methods, we applied robust single-trial analysis as implemented in the
EEGLAB toolbox LIMO EEG. Several ERP components were found to differ
between the groups. Surprisingly, we found no difference between Fear
and HC for any of the ERPs. This suggests that some well-established
results from the literature, e.g., increased error-related negativity in
OCD, is not a shared neurobiological correlate of the Fear subfactor.
Conversely, for Distress, we found reductions compared to Fear and HC in
several ERP components across paradigms. Future studies could utilize
HiTOP-validated psychopathology measures to more precisely define
subfactor groups.

Protection of personal data in the process of using targeted advertising
Authors: Kalachenkova K.O. , Borodata K.V.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the issue of personal data protection in the process of using targeted advertising. The relevance of the research topic is due to the development and implementation of information technologies in all sectors of the economy. The article notes that the use of targeted advertising is more effective than targeting a large number of users, although it requires compliance with a large number of personal data protection standards. This issue is not properly regulated by the legislator, which makes it possible to abuse and circumvent the determining factors in the legislation.The analysis of the Laws of Ukraine «On Personal Data Protection» and the Law of Ukraine «On E-Commerce» revealed mandatory requirements for the use of personal data in the context of advertising and sale of goods, namely: the legal basis for the use of personal data in the context of sale and promotion on the Internet is almost always the consent of the personal data subject; to obtain the consent of the personal data subject, he or she must be informed in advance of the procedure for processing such data (in particular, to provide information about the owner of personal data, Sending without consent is possible only if the data subject can refuse to receive such messages in the future; commercial electronic messages must contain information about the legal status of the seller, the cost of the goods (work, service), the amount of taxes, the cost of delivery (if any), as well as available information on discounts, bonuses, incentive gifts, if any.The author proposes to amend the Law of Ukraine «On Personal Data Protection», namely, by: bringing the terminology of personal data protection in line with new international standards; specifying clear grounds for personal data processing; establishing requirements for consent to personal data processing which will help to avoid abuse and manipulation; creating a responsible person for personal data protection; and establishing sanctions for violation of the right to personal data protection which will ensure the effectiveness of the law and ensure that the law is implemented.

"Jazz music and twentieth-century compositional music have interacted since the beginning. In the same way that one cannot talk about modern music today without mentioning Béla Bartók, his colleague and good friend Zoltán Kodály, also plays an important role in twentieth-century music. The compositional techniques that we associate with Bartók's name can also be found in Kodály's art. In this study, I scrutinize Zoltán Kodály's less well-known play, the 7th Epigram. Kodaly's suggestion on the preface sounds like this: The vocal part can be performed on any string or wind instrument, possibly in the upper or lower octave. It works best for those who use it as reading practice by accompanying their singing. As a jazz musician, compositional music has always influenced me, and I was curious to compare the harmonic relationships between the two styles. It affected me as a revelation when I discovered in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach those seventh chords or alterations that can also be found in the language of jazz. Kodály's Epigrams became interesting for me precisely because of this. Keywords: jazz, chords, alterations, upper extensions"

"The practical renewal of Zoltán Kodály's world-famous pedagogical tradition is once again a question enjoying significant dominance and a widely researched field in Hungary. Various institutes, workshops and studies deal with the theoretical background of this question and the possibilities of practical implementation. Studying the current renewal trends affecting the Kodály concept and method, as well as the different music pedagogic methods of the last century, it can be said that there are many parallels and similarities between them. We could also say that these methods of the 20th century served as a model and may even serve as a model in the future for the methodological further development of school singing and music education based on the Kodály concept. That is why it is worth getting to know the different trends so that we can draw ideas from them and integrate them into our own activities.

"Music education in Hungary has proven German roots. German textbooks and terminology were used in Hungary until the first decade of the 20th century, and German was the official language of music education. In this dissertation, we shall attempt to present the work and philosophy of Leo Kestenberg (1882-1962), and hereby an analogy with Kodály principles can appear. The two prominent music pedagogical reformers of the 20th century formulated essentially similar goals on several points. This proves that not only the common roots, but also the reform measures of the 20th century form a strong bond between the music education of the two countries.

"Since the second half of the 20th century, there has been an increasing number of studies on the transfer effects of music learning. There is considerable scientific research in both the national and international literature to support the transfer effects of music learning in different areas of life. In Hungary, these researches started at the instigation of Zoltán Kodály, who saw the observable effects of learning music in several areas. He also considered it important to present scientifically supported results, which is why research on the transfer effect marked by the name of Klára Kokas was started in Hungary. While previously the phenomenon could only be described based on cross-sectional or longitudinal surveys, thanks to technological development we could observe the active areas of the brain during various activities, during which we can interpret the causes of the transfer effects affecting different areas supported by MRI images . During my presentation, I will outline the results of these researches, objectively confirming the reasons behind the transfer effects created by learning music. This gives us the opportunity to learn about the results of research that started from Kodály’s foundations and is nowadays showing an increasingly complex picture.

This study aims to explore teacher competence according to Al-Ghazali's view and relate it to modern education. This research is an analytical study of teacher competence according to Al-Ghazali which is in the book Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din about educators. Among the teacher's competencies according to Al-Ghazali is having a sense of affection for their students. In the modern era like now, this competency is expected to be possessed by teachers. This hope, at least, arises because of cases of violence and sexual harassment perpetrated by teachers against their students. The teacher, who should be a role model, actually acts and acts immorally. This is a very worrying fact. Al-Ghazali, one of the famous Muslim figures with his title as hujjatul Islam, has contributed several thoughts related to educator competence. His thoughts are certainly very interesting to be studied in more depth. In more detail, the competencies suggested by Al-Ghazali to be possessed by an educator, will be explained in this article.

A Morphological Study of Alumina Hollow Fiber Membrane
Authors: Al-Obaidy Asrar
Published: July 2023

Morphologies of ceramic hollow fiber membranes prepared by a combined phase-inversion and sintering method were studied. The organic binder spinning solution containing suspended Al₂O₃ powders was spun to a hollow fiber precursor, which was then sintered at elevated temperatures( 300 ˚C, 1400 ˚C, 25 ˚C) in order to obtain the Al₂O₃ hollow fiber membranes. The spinning solution consisted of polyether sulfone (PES), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), which were used as polymer binder, solvent, respectively. The prepared Al₂O₃ hollow fiber membranes were characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is believed that finger-like void formation in asymmetric ceramic membranes is initiated by hydrodynamically unstable viscous fingering developed when a less viscous fluid (non-solvent) is in contact with a higher viscosity fluid (ceramic suspension containing invertible polymer binder). The effects of the air-gap (0 cm, 2 cm, 15 cm) on fibre morphology have been studied and it has been determined that viscosity due to change in air-gap is the dominating factor for ceramic systems.
Automated recognition of the major muscle injury in athletes on X-ray CT images
Authors: Jia Wanping , Zhao Guangyong
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND:

In this research, imaging techniques such as CT and X-ray are used to locate important muscles in the shoulders and legs. Athletes who participate in sports that require running, jumping, or throwing are more likely to get injuries such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, fractures, and dislocations. One proposed automated technique has the overarching goal of enhancing recognition.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to determine how to recognize the major muscles in the shoulder and leg utilizing X-ray CT images as its primary diagnostic tool.

METHODS:

Using a shape model, discovering landmarks, and generating a form model are the steps necessary to identify injuries in key shoulder and leg muscles. The method also involves identifying injuries in significant abdominal muscles. The use of adversarial deep learning, and more specifically Deep-Injury Region Identification, can improve the ability to identify damaged muscle in X-ray and CT images.

RESULTS:

Applying the proposed diagnostic model to 150 sets of CT images, the study results show that Jaccard similarity coefficient (JSC) rate for the procedure is 0.724, the repeatability is 0.678, and the accuracy is 94.9% respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The study results demonstrate feasibility of using adversarial deep learning and deep-injury region identification to automatically detect severe muscle injuries in the shoulder and leg, which can enhance the identification and diagnosis of injuries in athletes, especially for those who compete in sports that include running, jumping, and throwing.
Openess and Attention in the New Economy of the Social Media Era
Authors: Ardilla Yunda Presti
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Changes in the communication media in the form of social and business interactions have brought people to changes in the new economic ecosystem, especially social media. Social media offers an economic ecosystem called attention economy. In contrast to the money economy, attention is more abstract and requires steps for financialization. However, it remains a rare and contested item in the digital world. Various ways are used to get the attention. One of them is by using openess. This article applies a qualitative approach with the descriptive case study strategy and interviews with selected informants in order to describe how a non-profit institution, in this case the Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan Republik Indonesia (LPDP RI) / Educational Fund Management Institution of the Republic of Indonesia, applied openess to social media to attract attention from its followers. The data were collected by in-depth interviews. This technique works by recording verbal statements of the research subjects and involving other persons to limit word flows, which are submitted by questions. As a result, the non-profit institution did not fully implement openess in social media. This resulted in non-optimal attention from the followers, namely stake holders, scholarship recipients, prospective scholarship recipients and public.  It is suggested to other non-profit institutions to continuously apply openess in order to obtain benefits in the form of attention optimally.

Published: July 2023

Introduction

The aim of the study was to identify available polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) models of care (MoCs) and describe their characteristics and alignment with the international PCOS guideline.

Methods

Ovid MEDLINE, All EBM, PsycINFO, Embase, and CINAHL were searched from inception until 11 July 2022. Any study with a description of a PCOS MoC was included. Non-evidence-based guidelines, abstracts, study protocols, and clinical trial registrations were excluded. We also excluded MoCs delivered in research settings to minimize care bias. Meta-analysis was not performed due to heterogeneity across MoCs. We describe and evaluate each MoC based on the recommendations made by the international evidence-based guideline for assessing and managing PCOS.

Results

Of 3,671 articles, six articles describing five MoCs were included in our systematic review. All MoCs described a multidisciplinary approach, including an endocrinologist, dietitian, gynecologist, psychologist, dermatologist, etc. Three MoCs described all aspects of PCOS care aligned with the international guideline recommendations. These include providing education on long-term risks, lifestyle interventions, screening and management of emotional well-being, cardiometabolic diseases, and the dermatological and reproductive elements of PCOS. Three MoCs evaluated patients’ and healthcare professionals’ satisfaction, with generally positive findings. Only one MoC explored the impact of their service on patients’ health outcomes and showed improvement in BMI.

Conclusion

There is limited literature describing PCOS MoCs in routine practice. Future research should explore developing cost-effective co-created multidisciplinary PCOS MoCs globally. This may be facilitated by the exchange of best practices between institutions with an established MoC and those who are interested in setting one up.

Pathology of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease: a comparison with multiple sclerosis and aquaporin 4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders
Authors: Takai Yoshiki , Misu Tatsuro , Fujihara Kazuo , Aoki Masashi
Published: July 2023

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is expressed on the outermost layer of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. Recently, the clinical concept of MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) was established based on the results of human MOG-transfected cell-based assays which can detect conformation-sensitive antibodies against MOG. In this review, we summarized the pathological findings of MOGAD and discussed the issues that remain unresolved. MOGAD pathology is principally inflammatory demyelination without astrocyte destruction, characterized by perivenous demyelination previously reported in acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and by its fusion pattern localized in both the white and gray matter, but not by radially expanding confluent demyelination typically seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). Some of demyelinating lesions in MOGAD show severe loss of MOG staining compared with those of other myelin proteins, suggesting a MOG-targeted pathology in the disease. Perivascular cuffings mainly consist of macrophages and T cells with CD4-dominancy, which is also different from CD8+ T-cell-dominant inflammation in MS. Compared to aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), perivenous complement deposition is less common, but can be seen on myelinated fibers and on myelin degradation products within macrophages, resembling MS Pattern II pathology. Thus, the pathogenetic contribution of complements in MOGAD is still debatable. Together, these pathological features in MOGAD are clearly different from those of MS and AQP4 antibody-positive NMOSD, suggesting that MOGAD is an independent autoimmune demyelinating disease entity. Further research is needed to clarify the exact pathomechanisms of demyelination and how the pathophysiology relates to the clinical phenotype and symptoms leading to disability in MOGAD patients.
Breaking down walls: modelling engagement with peer support in GPs
Authors: Hussan Aminah , Basu Avishek , Dho Hajin , Tariq Samir , Fazaldin Yunis , Farkas Maria
Published: July 2023

Background

GPs in the UK are at increasing risk of burnout. Peer support (PS) is defined as resources provided by colleagues, such as informational or emotional support, which is either organisationally mandated (formal) or informal. PS has been described in the literature as a method of mitigating burnout. However, little is known about how GPs support one another and what optimises PS in primary care.

Aim

To explore what PS looks like between GPs and the moderators of PS in primary care.

Method

Fifteen GPs across England were purposively sampled to collect perspectives from locum and salaried GPs and GP partners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.

Results

Five major forms of PS in primary care were identified, relating to the emotional support, professional advice, sharing of workload, mentorship, and personal interactions GPs provided each other with. Four moderators of peer support were described: individual traits, interpersonal relationships, practice-specific (relating to the working culture within a specific practice), and occupational factors (intrinsic to primary care).

Conclusion

This qualitative research fills a literature gap regarding moderating factors for engaging with PS in GPs and highlights the unique interactions of these factors. The proposition of a novel model to visualise the interplay of moderators provides basis for evidence-based interventions to test, target, and facilitate better PS in primary care.

Authors: Nikanfar Raha , Dabbaghi Rozhin , Rajabi Ali , Hashemzadeh Shahriar , Baradaran Behzad , Teimourian Shahram , Safaralizadeh Reza
Published: July 2023

Background:

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in various biological processes, including cancer development and progression. This study aimed to investigate the expression differences of the BRAF-activated non-coding RNA (BANCR) gene in GC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. The potential diagnostic significance of BANCR in GC was explored, with the aim of improving diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this global health burden.

Materials and Methods:

Tissue samples from 100 gastric cancer (GC) patients were collected, and BANCR expression was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. Correlations between BANCR expression and clinicopathological features were assessed, and its biomarker potential was evaluated.

Results:

In individuals diagnosed with GC, the expression of BANCR was notably elevated in tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.0001). However, the analysis of gene expression data did not demonstrate any statistically significant correlation between elevated BANCR expression and clinicopathological features. According to the ROC analysis, BANCR demonstrated an AUC of 0.6733 (P < 0.0001), with a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 45%. However, further evaluation is required to determine its potential as a biomarker (CI 95% = 0.5992 to 0.7473).

Conclusions:

The observed upregulation of BANCR in GC tissues implies its potential involvement as an oncogenic lncRNA in GC patients. Furthermore, BANCR may serve as a promising biomarker for identification and treatment of GC.

Authors: Omowumi Adekunle , Elizabeth Adekunle , Beloved Adekunle
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Teleconferencing, a mode of organizational and informal group communication, has become so dominant in the epidemic era that it impacts highly on organizational functions. This descriptive study  carried out among teleconferencing users in Kanifing Municipal Council of The Gambia sought to investigate the respondents’ perceptions of the prevalence of the practice of disengaging during teleconferencing, the reasons why people disengage during teleconferencing, the gender dimension to disengaging during teleconferencing and how participants can be kept actively engaged during teleconferencing.

Methodology: Both the quantitative and qualitative survey methods were adopted. 77 people responded to the questionnaire. In-depth interviews were also conducted with 5 frequent users of teleconferencing platforms.

Findings: The results show that the practice of disengagement during teleconferencing is highly prevalent. 52 percent of the respondents admitted that they don’t listen all through the teleconferencing events; 76.1 percent have got up at one time or the other to attend to other issues; 19.7 percent have got up more than 20 times to attend to other issues; and 81.3 percent of the participants have experienced situations where participants stayed signed in even though they were no longer in the meeting. Major reasons given for participants’ disengagement include internet accessibility, cited by 40.5 percent of the respondents; distraction, cited by 40.4 percent. 14.4 percent of the respondents cited the fact that participants have the confidence that others in the meeting will be unaware of their disengagement. This claim was also buttressed by 4 of the key informants during the in-depth interview. Most of the respondents, 87 percent, were of the view that females disengage more often  than males. 60 percent of those who express this view gave engagement with domestic chores as the reason for this. Ways suggested to keep participants engaged include ensuring meeting adopt the participatory mode, suggested by 24.3 percent of the respondents; solving internet issues of instability, suggested by 24.3percent; demanding that participants keep on their videos, suggested by 17.1 percent; ensuring meeting schedules and timing are favourable, suggested by 15.7 percent and  lowering internet data costs, suggested by 7.1 percent.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study concludes that disengagement during teleconferencing is highly prevalent, distractions and internet problems of connectivity and affordability are major reasons for disengagement and organisers of teleconferencing must control for these factors. It is recommended that organisations offer their staff gadgets for internet access; the government on its own part should explore all means possible to ensure internet stability in the Gambia.

В статье рассматриваются конструктивные особенности разработки универсального лабораторного стенда для испытаний на износ композиционных материалов. Отмечается, что в настоящее время в машиностроении остро стоит задача получения пар трения с высокими антифрикционными свойствами и активно ведется разработка новых методик получения материалов с высокими антифрикционными показателями. На этапе разработки составов и технологий изготовления образцов возникает необходимость проведения экспериментов в реальных условиях, поэтому испытания на износостойкость целесообразно проводить на специальном стенде в лабораторных условиях, что позволяет стабилизировать и управлять рабочими характеристиками оборудования. Представлены результаты разработки конструкционных элементов, к которым относится устройство статического нагружения, устройство динамического нагружения, устройство регистрации температуры. Особенностью стенда является его универсальность и простота изготовления. Внедрение данной установки-стенда при подготовке специалистов в области проведения испытаний композиционных материалов позволяет проводить эксперименты, приближенные к реальным условиям эксплуатации материалов.
Afectos y manipulación. De la experiencia peronista a la teoría del populismo
Authors: Laleff Ilieff Ricardo
Published: July 2023

El trabajo analiza el vínculo entre afectos y manipulación tal como ha sido concebido por uno de los abordajes canónicos sobre el fenómeno peronista –el de Gino Germani– y por la teoría del populismo de Ernesto Laclau. En ese marco, se ofrece una serie de precisiones conceptuales que sitúan distintos aspectos de los debates suscitados por ambas obras e interrogan el estatuto conceptual de la afectividad en los procesos de subjetivación. Asimismo, se repasan ciertas premisas del pensamiento de Jacques Lacan al revisar críticamente no solo aquellas perspectivas que explican al populismo como lo otro de la democracia debido a la supuesta dimensión manipuladora del líder, sino también a las propias reflexiones de Laclau, cuya ponderación de los afectos como vía de explicación de las identidades colectivas parece implicar la disolución de la singularidad de los sujetos, reabriendo así la conexión entre autoritarismo y populismo.
Interseccionalidad y nuevas lecturas de Marx, ¿un encuentro posible?
Authors: Llanos de la Guardia Javier
Published: July 2023

Las formas de pensar la dominación social han cambiado durante las últimas décadas en la teoría política, dejando atrás esquemas diádicos con centros de poder definidos. En este artículo comparamos autores de la nueva lectura de Marx, la crítica del valor y la interseccionalidad, que han ayudado redefinir la dominación social durante las últimas décadas complejizando los paradigmas que las preceden, el marxismo tradicional y el feminismo negro, respectivamente. El artículo analiza el concepto de dominación social de estas nuevas lecturas de Marx atendiendo a las críticas que la interseccionalidad ha dirigido contra el marxismo tradicional. Así mostramos las posibilidades de diálogo entre estos enfoques, pero también las innegables dificultades que existen.

The world revolves entirely around data. We are unable to find even the most fundamental facts without data. Data will grow as enterprises do. You can learn a lot of things with these data. Data integration must be considered in order to access this information. Data integration has a wide range of applications and is used to combine multiple heterogeneous data sets into homogenous data. Analysis, extraction, transformation, and loading are all components of integration. ETL is a key component of data integration and takes up the majority of the work. The concept of warehousing is crucial because it describes how data that has undergone the ETL step will be loaded and used for various purposes.

Published: July 2023

Palmistry is an artifice of interpreting a person’s characteristics and predicting their future by examining the palm of their hand. It is believed by most people and used all over the world. It uses palm lines, shapes, patterns, mounts, and fingertip position as the features for interpretation. It has been used since ancient times. It is also called Chiromancy, Chirology, and Palm Reading. Even though the technology evolved and is being used in all other fields, Palmistry is a field where it is lagging behind and not yet fully implemented. Most of the research concentrates on the size, shape, color, and structure of the palm, very little concentrates on the lines and that too concentrates only on the primary lines. Here we are attempting to create a fully implemented palmistry application with the help of deep learning and image processing algorithms, to use all the features in the palm and palm lines to give complete prediction results.

Authors: Shah Amit
Published: July 2023

Telemedicine aims to provide increased access to high-quality healthcare that is efficient and cost-effective. It involves real-time interactive communication between patients and physicians at distant sites. It has the potential to revolutionize health-care delivery in India. Telemedicine in India offers several benefits, particularly in addressing healthcare challenges. It also bridges health-care disparities based on location, ethnicity, and social status. It reduces long waitlists, inflexible appointments, transportation difficulties, and frequent follow-ups. It enables doctors to remotely monitor patients, leading to more efficient health-care delivery and cost savings. Telemedicine facilitates collaboration among health-care providers, enabling them to share knowledge, seek second opinions, or consult specialists without physical limitations. Effective implementation of telemedicine improves India’s primary health-care system by enhancing palliative care, early identification of diseases, prevention strategies, and rehabilitation. The Indian government has recognized the potential of telemedicine and has taken steps to promote its adoption through initiatives such as the National Telemedicine Portal and Collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organization. Despite challenges such as infrastructure limitations, proper regulation, and data security, the widespread accessibility of mobile devices and the Internet in India makes telemedicine a promising avenue for doctors to reach a larger population while improving patient care. Therefore, telemedicine in India offers doctors and health-care providers expanded access to patients, improved patient care through enhanced communication, increased efficiency in health-care delivery, opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing among health-care providers, and the strengthening of primary health-care systems. The Indian government’s support further highlights the potential of telemedicine to transform health-care delivery in the country while addressing existing challenges.
