Authors: Sabovchyk A.Ya. , Oros M.M.
Published: November 2023

Background. The article examines the relationship between nerve conduction indicators and polyneuropathy severity in patients with type 2 diabetes. The influence of polyneuropathy severity on nerve conduction was studied, as well as the effect of insulin therapy on these indicators. Objective: to determine the influence of polyneuropathy severity and the need for additional insulin administration in patients with type 2 diabetes on nerve conduction indicators and the development of pain syndrome. Materials and methods. Eighty patients with type 2 diabetes were examined, 49 men and 31 women. All of them underwent general clinical and biochemical laboratory tests to evaluate the hematopoietic system, li-ver, kidneys, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. The need for insulin therapy was assessed by the C-peptide level. To verify the diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy, complaints, clinical and instrumental examination data were evaluated. The main indicators of nerve conduction were taken into account when determining polyneuritis disorders, namely: рeroneal motor nerve conduction velocity, sensory nerve action potential of the sural nerve, sensory nerve conduction velocity of the sural nerve. Results. A dependence of nerve conduction on polyneuropathy severity was revealed, рeroneal motor nerve conduction velocity was the lowest in the group with severe polyneuropathy. A correlation was also found between the levels of sensory indicators (sensory nerve action potential and sensory nerve conduction velocity) and polyneuropathy severity, nerve conduction velocity decreases with an increase in the latter. The influence of polyneuropathy severity on the painful or painless form has been found. Among patients with severe polyneuropathy, the painful form was observed more often. No relationship was found between the need for insulin therapy and the painful or painless form of polyneuropathy. Conclusions. Indicators of nerve conduction depend on polyneuropathy severity. The presence and severity of pain syndrome directly depends on polyneuropathy severity. The need for additional insulin administration affects sensory indicators but has no effect on the development of the painful form of polyneuropathy.
ACE and AT2R1 gene polymorphism in patients with chronic vascular encephalopathy: association with neuroimaging changes and cognitive functioning
Authors: Duve K.V.
Published: November 2023

Background. Given the synergistic effect of the ACE and AT2R1 genes and their impact on the maintenance of homeostatic processes, the aim of our research was to identify the associations of the studied polymorphic variants of the ACE and AT2R1 genes with neuroimaging changes, data from arterial duplex ultrasound and cognitive functioning in patients with chronic vascular encephalopathy (CVE). Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 145 medical records of patients with CVE was conducted, of which 18 patients underwent a molecular genetic study. The control group consisted of 12 people representative in terms of age and gender. Neuroimaging was performed using multislice computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The state of cerebral blood flow was studied using transcranial duplex ultrasound of intracranial and extracranial vessels. The cognitive functioning was tested using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Results. When analyzing the associations of polymorphic I/D variants of the ACE gene and A1166C of the AT2R1 gene with neuroimaging changes and parameters of cerebral hemodynamics in CVE among carriers of I and D alleles of the ACE gene, a probable relationship was found between their frequency distribution and the presence/absence of gliosis phenomena (62.69 % of D allele carriers were diagnosed with gliosis, p < 0.05); a probable relationship between the frequency distribution of the D/D genotype of the ACE gene and the presence of angiospasm (in 72.73 % of patients), insufficiency of blood flow in the carotid system (72.73 % of cases) and vertebrobasilar insufficiency (in 36.36 % of people). When evaluating the dependence of cognitive functions based on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score in patients with CVE on the polymorphic I/D variants of the ACE gene and A1166C of the AT2R1 gene, probable changes were revealed in the frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles of the polymorphic I/D variant of the ACE gene (χ2 = 11.33; p = 0.023), while all carriers of the D/D genotype have impaired cognitive functioning (moderate in 36.36 % and mild in 63.64 % of cases), which also corresponds to the frequency of the D allele distribution in this cohort of patients (29.63 % of people have a moderate cognitive impairment and 70.37 % — a mild cognitive impairment, p = 0.013). Conclusions. The study results indicate that the ACE gene may be involved in the development of neuroimaging changes and cognitive decline in CVE.

Kasus kekerasan seksual di Desa Puguh, Kecamatan Boja, Kendal, terhadap perempuan dan anak merupakan masalah serius. Kekerasan ini dipicu oleh lingkungan dengan pengawasan rendah terhadap perempuan dan anak, terutama saat suami bekerja di luar kota/negara. Kekerasan ini tak hanya melibatkan korban dan pelaku, tetapi juga orang-orang terdekat dalam lingkungan tersebut. Masyarakat di Desa Puguh masih cenderung menyelesaikan kasus kekerasan seksual secara internal, yang sering kali berujung pada berulangnya kejadian tersebut. Padahal, dampaknya sangat merugikan terutama bagi anak-anak yang masih dalam masa pertumbuhan. Dalam mengatasi masalah ini, diperlukan pendampingan hukum dan psikologis kepada korban kekerasan seksual dan pemberdayaan masyarakat di Desa Puguh. Program ini melibatkan beberapa langkah, seperti survei kebutuhan mitra, sosialisasi, dan evaluasi. Program ini berlangsung selama 8 bulan dengan tahapan yang meliputi analisis permasalahan, koordinasi dengan mitra, sosialisasi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Sasaran utama program ini adalah masyarakat umum, terutama perangkat desa, PKK, dan karang taruna yang belum memahami dampak kekerasan seksual serta perlindungan hukum bagi perempuan dan anak. Melalui program ini, diharapkan masyarakat dapat lebih sadar akan pentingnya penanganan kasus kekerasan seksual secara hukum dan psikologis untuk melindungi perempuan dan anak-anak.
 
Abstract
Legal Aid and Healing Therapy for Sexual Violence Victims in Puguh Village, District Boja, Kendal
In Puguh Village, Boja District, Kendal, cases of sexual violence against women and children are a serious problem. This violence is triggered by an environment with low supervision of women and children, especially when husbands work outside the city/state. This violence not only involves victims and perpetrators, but also the closest people in the neighborhood. People in Puguh Village still tend to solve cases of sexual violence internally, which often leads to recurrence of these incidents. In fact, the impact is very detrimental, especially for children who are still in their infancy. In overcoming this problem, legal and psychological assistance to victims of sexual violence and community empowerment in Puguh Village is needed. This program involves several steps, such as partner needs surveys, socialization, and evaluation. This program lasts for 8 months with stages that include problem analysis, coordination with partners, socialization, mentoring, and evaluation. The main target of this program is the general public, especially village officials, PKK, and cadets who do not yet understand the impact of sexual violence and legal protection for women and children. Through this program, it is hoped that the community can be more aware of the importance of handling cases of sexual violence legally and psychologically to protect women and children.

ABUSO SEXUAL INFANTIL: o que o cirurgião-dentista deve saber?
Authors: Soares Isabela Marins , Pereira Túlio Silva
Published: November 2023

Child sexual abuse is defined as the involvement of a child in sexual activity that he or she does not fully understand or is unable to give informed consent to. Dental surgeons who work with children must be alert to signs and behaviors that can help diagnose abuse and criminalize the aggressor. Thus, the present study aimed to present a literature review regarding dental management in cases suggestive of child sexual abuse. According to the literature review, it was possible to identify that child sexual abuse is a silently underreported social issue, capable of causing physical and psychological harm to the victim. Suggestive injuries, preferably in the head and neck region, should be evaluated taking note of the causal history reported by the child and their guardian, if necessary, separately. In the assimilation of injuries resulting from sexually transmitted infections, testing and treatment must be included in care. The dental surgeon must be prepared to carry out compulsory notification under the risk of ethical, civil and criminal charges. The creation of public policies and the union of sectors that work directly with the child population must focus on education and children's understanding of the limits of access by third parties to their bodies, as well as support networks for the victim's mental and social restructuring.

Published: November 2023

At the interface of machine learning and quantum computing, an important question is what distributions can be learned provably with optimal sample complexities and with quantum-accelerated time complexities. In the classical case, Klivans and Goel discussed the Alphatron, an algorithm to learn distributions related to kernelized regression, which they also applied to the learning of two-layer neural networks. In this work, we provide quantum versions of the Alphatron in the fault-tolerant setting. In a well-defined learning model, this quantum algorithm is able to provide a polynomial speedup for a large range of parameters of the underlying concept class. We discuss two types of speedups, one for evaluating the kernel matrix and one for evaluating the gradient in the stochastic gradient descent procedure. We also discuss the quantum advantage in the context of learning of two-layer neural networks. Our work contributes to the study of quantum learning with kernels and from samples.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: This study explored the relationship between environmental scores and financial performance in Latin American firms.
Design/Methodology: Using a dataset encompassing 1 708 observations from 372 firms between 2015 and 2020, this study employed panel data analysis to investigate the relationship between environmental scores and Return on Assets (ROA).
Findings: The empirical findings indicate that the current environmental performance in Latin America has a limited impact on firms’ financial performance. However, positive results were observed in Brazil, Mexico, and Chile, where environmental practices and financial outcomes have been successfully integrated.
Conclusions: By examining the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores, particularly environmental scores, on ROA in Latin American firms, this study contributes to better understanding the complex relationship between sustainability and financial performance in the region. In addition, it underscores both the challenges and opportunities that Latin American firms face in aligning environmental performance with profitability. According to the findings, enhanced strategies and mechanisms should be developed to bridge the gap between environmental and financial outcomes. While Latin America has made progress in establishing consensus on environmental practices, there remains a pressing need to develop robust strategies that effectively integrate sustainability and profitability.
Originality: This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and firms seeking to navigate the interplay between sustainability and financial success in Latin America.
Research on Transmission Line Lightning Shielding Failure Risk Refined Parameter Extraction and Information Fusion Based on Point Cloud Data
Authors: Huang Liangcan , Shen Xiaojun
Published: November 2023

Lightning shielding failure risk evaluation is a significant task for
EHV/UHV overhead transmission lines’ lightning protection. Previous
tower-by-tower evaluation methods fail to finely describe shielding
failure risk’s complex distribution within the span. To solve the
problem, this paper proposes two supporting technologies for shielding
failure risk refined evaluation through the whole span based on point
cloud data, including parameter extraction and data visualization.
Electro-geometric model (EGM) is used as an example to evaluate
shielding failure risk, which needs spatial parameters to quantify the
line structure and terrain factors. Point cloud data is preprocessed
according to shielding failure risk evaluation requirement. A spatial
parameter extraction algorithm is proposed to automatically obtain
refined parameters at different sides and along the whole span. Refined
shielding failure risk is obtained consequently. Furthermore, an
information fusion pattern is proposed to improve data visualization
effect, which can integrate multi-source information into point cloud
space and intuitively display data associations through a unified view.
The accuracy and effect of the proposed method are validated by a case
study conducted on a 500kV mountain line. This research could provide a
reference for the digital empowerment of lightning shielding failure
risk refined evaluation.
F1 region ion composition in Svalbard during the International Polar Year 2007-2008

Published: November 2023

Ions in the F region ionosphere at 150-400 km altitude consist mainly of
molecular NO+ and O2+, and atomic O+. Incoherent scatter (IS) radars are
sensitive to the molecular-to-atomic ion density ratio, but its effect
to the observed incoherent scatter spectra is almost identical with that
of the ion temperature. It is thus very difficult to fit both the ion
temperature and the fraction of O+ ions to the observed spectra. In this
paper, we introduce a novel combination of Bayesian filtering,
smoothness priors, and chemistry modeling to solve for F1 region O+ ion
fraction from EISCAT Svalbard IS radar (75.43° corrected geomagnetic
latitude) data during the international polar year (IPY) 2007-2008. We
find that the fraction of O+ ions in the F1 region ionosphere is
controlled by ion temperature and electron production. The median value
of the molecular-to-atomic ion transition altitude during IPY varies
from 187 km at 16-17 MLT to 208 km at 04-05 MLT. The ion temperature has
maxima at 05-06 MLT and 15-16 MLT, but the transition altitude does not
follow the ion temperature, because photoionization lowers the
transition altitude. A daytime transition altitude maximum is observed
in winter, when lack of photoionization leads to very low daytime
electron densities. Both ion temperature and the molecular-to-atomic ion
transition altitude correlate with the Polar Cap North geomagnetic
index. The annual medians of the fitted transition altitudes are 14-32
km lower than those predicted by the International Reference Ionosphere.
The location of large-scale soil moisture anomalies affects moisture transport and precipitation over southeastern South America
Authors: Chen Chu-Chun , Dominguez Francina
Published: November 2023

Southeastern South America (SESA) is a highly productive agricultural
region and a hot spot for land-atmosphere interactions. To evaluate the
impact of dry soil moisture anomalies (SMAs) on SESA climate and the
sensitivity of the regional climate response to the location of SMAs, we
perform three experimental simulations using the Community Earth System
Model (CESM) with prescribed dry SMAs over (1) SESA, (2) western SESA,
and (3) eastern SESA. The dry eastern SESA simulation shows widespread
negative precipitation anomalies. In contrast, the dry western SESA
simulation shows positive precipitation anomalies over northeastern
Argentina, which are associated with the enhanced southward moisture
flux co-located with the South American low-level jet exit region. A
composite analysis of extremely dry cases over western SESA using
reanalysis data agrees with the findings from our CESM experiment. These
findings have potential implications for subseasonal forecasting in this
region.
Seismic ocean thermometry of the Kuroshio Extension region
Authors: Peng Shirui , Callies Jörn , Wu Wenbo , Zhan Zhongwen
Published: November 2023

Seismic ocean thermometry uses sound waves generated by repeating
earthquakes to measure temperature change in the deep ocean. In this
study, waves generated by earthquakes along the Japan Trench and
received at Wake Island are used to constrain temperature variations in
the Kuroshio Extension region. This region is characterized by energetic
mesoscale eddies and large decadal variability, posing a challenging
sampling problem for conventional ocean observations. The seismic
measurements are obtained from a hydrophone station off and a seismic
station on Wake Island, with the seismic station’s digital record
reaching back to 1997. These measurements are combined in an inversion
for the time and azimuth dependence of the range-averaged deep
temperatures, revealing lateral and temporal variations due to Kuroshio
Extension meanders, mesoscale eddies, and decadal water mass
rearrangements. These results highlight the potential of seismic ocean
thermometry for better constraining the variability and trends in
deep-ocean temperatures. By overcoming the aliasing problem of point
measurements, these measurements complement existing ship- and
float-based hydrographic measurements.
Cloud Responses to Abrupt Solar and CO2 Forcing Part I: Temperature Mediated Cloud Feedbacks
Authors: Aerenson Travis , Marchand Roger
Published: November 2023

The third phase of the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project
requested that modeling centers perform a pair of simulations where the
climate system is subjected to an abrupt change of the solar constant by
+/- 4%. The forcing is designed to loosely match the amount of
radiative forcing incurred by quadrupling atmospheric CO2
concentrations. Using these simulations, we examine how clouds respond
to changes in solar forcing and act as a feedback on global surface
temperature. Specifically, in this paper, we study the temperature
mediated cloud changes that occur following an abrupt increase and
decrease of the solar constant and compare with temperature mediated
cloud changes that occur following quadrupling and halving of CO2. We
seek to answer two primary questions: 1) How do cloud feedbacks differ
in response to abrupt changes in CO2 and solar forcing? And 2) Are there
symmetrical (equal and opposite) cloud feedbacks to an increase and a
decrease in solar forcing? We find that temperature mediated cloud
changes are similar from increasing solar and CO2 forcing, with the only
robust difference being that there is a larger reduction of low cloud
amount following solar forcing; and we find that cloud responses to
warming and cooling are not symmetric, due primarily to non-linearity
introduced by phase changes in mid-to-high latitude low clouds, and sea
ice loss/formation.

Published: November 2023

Precipitation nowcasting is a crucial element in current weather service
systems. Data-driven methods have proven highly advantageous, due to
their flexibility in utilizing detailed initial hydrometeor
observations, and their capability to approximate meteorological
dynamics effectively given sufficient training data. However, current
data-driven methods often encounter severe approximation/optimization
errors, rendering their predictions and associated uncertainty estimates
unreliable. Here we develop a probabilistic diffusion model-based
precipitation nowcasting methodology, overcoming the notorious
blurriness and mode collapse issues in existing practices. Our approach
results in a 3.7% improvement in continuous ranked probability score
compared to state-of-the-art generative adversarial model-based method.
Critically, we significantly enhance the reliability of forecast
uncertainty estimates, evidenced in a 68% gain of spread-skill ratio
skill. As a result, our approach provides more reliable probabilistic
precipitation nowcasting, showing the potential to better support
weather-related decision makings.

When we talk to people about a ‘Treaty’ education course we get a variety of reactions. Some eyes get glazed, some burn with evangelical fervour, some shoot daggers, and some close while their owners go to sleep.When we took on the role of joint co-ordinators of the bicultural project at Christchurch College of Education in New Zealand at the end of last year, one of the tasks we faced was the development of programmes within the College. These courses would provide staff and students with the basic knowledge they need about the Treaty and its relevance to teaching and prepare them to apply this knowledge to their own practice.This paper describes the processes we are engaged in to develop Treaty education programmes and the programme that is evolving. It also describes some of the conceptual incongruities that we are finding associated with Treaty education, and it places these against a wider framework of theorisations of learning, of decolonisation, of participatory and reflective practice, and of Maori approaches to education. It describes an alternative approach that draws upon the arts as springboards for investigation and learning.

Ograniczają zdolność samodzielnego funkcjonowania oraz mogą powodować upadki, a w ich następstwie złamania kości i urazy głowy. Pacjent z zawrotami głowy nieukładowymi wymaga szczegółowej i wielokierunkowej diagnostyki. Ze względu na subiektywność i niecharakterystyczność zgłaszanych dolegliwości zlecane badania mają na celu wykluczenie zagrażających życiu i zdrowiu schorzeń lub znalezienie przyczyny potencjalnie uleczalnej. Wybór leczenia powinien uwzględniać prawdopodobny powód dolegliwości i możliwy wpływ na inne schorzenia bądź przyjmowane leki. Stosowanie winpocetyny w monoterapii lub terapii skojarzonej jest propozycją leczenia wartą rozważenia w populacji osób starszych z wielochorobowością.

Esta artículo tiene como objetivo principal dar a conocer entre la comunidad académica las ideas y el plan de trabajo -detallado por fases y objetivos- que subyacen detrás de proyecto de investigación TVTHEAGEN: una innovadora y ambiciosa propuesta de trabajo de investigación multidisciplinar que pretende abordar como corpus de trabajo el conjunto de adaptaciones a la televisión de obras teatrales europeas de los siglos XVI y XVII que el programa de RTVE Estudio 1 llevó a cabo a lo largo de sus años casi tres décadas de trayectoria (1965-19985). Un lapso de tiempo de enorme significación dado que da testimonio de un período de profundas transformaciones políticas y sociales en España, encadenando tres momentos históricos de gran trascendencia: el franquismo (1965-1969), la pretransición, que, de acuerdo con el término propuesto por Charles T. Powell, abarcaría de 1969-1975 (Powell, 1993) y la Transición democrática (1975-1984). Una vez hecho el acopio de los guiones televisivos, serán tres los marcos teóricos desde los que se llevará a cabo el análisis textual: el marco de la traducción, el de la multimedialidad y el de género. Así, en el proyecto se analizarán las respectivas traducciones y adaptaciones del texto teatral primigenio al formato de guion televisivo para ver cómo los motivos y personajes femeninos de las obras se desarrollan en las sucesivas puestas en escena, prestando especial atención a la labor censora a la que muchos de estos guiones se vieron sometidas. En otras palabras, concebir el guion televisivo de Estudio 1 como reflejo de un momento histórico concreto y en evolución por lo que respecta al tratamiento de la mujer en escena.
Insights Into the Terminal Ediacaran Marine Carbonate Record From Shale-Hosted Carbonate Carbon Isotopes

The marine carbon isotope record (δ13C) used for chemostratigraphy and reconstruction of carbon cycle dynamics is commonly assembled using carbonate rocks. There is, however, evidence that carbonate cements hosted within fine-grained clastics (shales and mudstones) in some settings may also express δ13C trends that covary with the record from carbonates. We present new carbon and oxygen isotopic data from shale-hosted carbonate cements (herein termed δ13Ccarb-sh and δ18Ocarb-sh, n = 107, <16 wt% CaCO3) of the terminal Ediacaran Nama Group, Namibia (≥550.5 to <539.6 Million years ago; Ma). These data are compared with the published carbon and oxygen isotopic record from coeval carbonates (δ13Ccarb and δ18Ocarb, n = 1611) and total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations. We show that, in the Nama Group, δ13Ccarb-sh compositions in samples of intermediate to high CaCO3/TOC (>0.4) can approximate contemporaneous δ13Ccarb in open marine mixed carbonate-clastic settings. By contrast, δ13Ccarb-sh values in samples with low CaCO3/TOC (<0.4) that were deposited in clastic settings distant from the locus of carbonate deposition are more negative than contemporaneous δ13Ccarb. These data suggest that δ13Ccarb-sh may approach seawater composition in samples with low TOC when deposited in settings characterized by high CO32- concentration, where carbonate can rapidly precipitate from seawater during early diagenesis. However, the use of δ13Ccarb-sh to infill gaps in the existing δ13Ccarb record remains uncertain, even when these criteria are fulfilled. Intervals of δ13C-δ18O co-variability in the Nama Group succession appear to correlate with units where seawater mixing with meteoric fluids was more likely during early diagenesis, such as clastic-dominated settings, which also show significant decreasing δ18O through time with gradual sub-basin infill. We further consider uncertainties in lithostratigraphic correlation of the upper Urusis Formation of the Nama Group that enable three new possible correlations to be proposed for δ13Ccarb-sh data within the terminal Ediacaran to lower Cambrian (<542.65 Ma to >532 Ma) regional and global δ13Ccarb records.
Microbial Biosurfactant Screening: Diversity in Assessment Methods

Published: November 2023

Biosurfactants are a group of surface-active agents mainly produced by microorganisms and have a wide range of applications in industries as well as agriculture. Global usage of such biologically active compounds as detergents, bioremediation agents, cosmetic products is hugely dependent on their high production. New avenues of research have opened up due to this increased interest, most of which are focused on identifying specialized microorganisms capable of biosurfactant production. Screening methods for selection of biosurfactant producing bacteria are, therefore, of utmost importance in this endeavor. The aim of this review was to discuss various conventional and novel methods that can overcome the hurdles encountered in time effective, economical microbial biosurfactant screening. This review lists several important biosurfactant screening methods based on supernatant, biomass as well as culture media. New methods devised for biosurfactant screening in the last half decade such as surfactant dependent dye solubilization, metagenomic studies etc. are also explained in detail. A thorough grasp of both contemporary and anachronistic screening methodologies will not only lead to discoveries of novel native strains capable of biosurfactant production but also form the basis on which new screening methods can be devised.

Siswa dari keluarga kurang mampu rentan untuk tidak alami perubahan kualitas kehidupan karena kurangnya inisiatif untuk lakukan perubahan dalam hidupnya. Intervensi dalam bentuk pelatihan bertema umum “Menjadi Diri Berencana” ini diberikan satu kali dalam 1 bulan, masing-masing 2 jam, selama 5 bulan berturut-turut dengan tema yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman mereka mengenai self-esteem, self-efficacy, cognitive emotion regulation, social support, dan future orientation; atau dengan tema yang disampaikan pada masyarakat adalah  “Aku Berharga”, “Aku Mampu Mengatasi Tantangan”, “Aku Kelola Emosiku”, “Aku Memiliki Dukungan untuk Meraih Cita-cita”, dan “Saat ini dan Masa Depanku”. Dari hasil uji beda terhadap skor pre-test dan post-test untuk masing-masing tema tersebut tidak ada perbedaan signifikan. Hasil ini mungkin disebabkan skor peserta yang sudah termasuk dalam kategori minimal sedang, sehingga sulit untuk meningkatkan kembali dan soal pre dan post-test yang terlalu sedikit serta tingkat kesulitan rendah.  Peserta menyebutkan bahwa pelatihan beruntun ini memberi manfaat antara membuat mereka percaya pada kemampuan mereka, tidak perlu putus asa saat menghadapi tantangan, dapat meminta bantuan orang lain, memiliki teman. Disarankan bahwa intervensi serupa dapat dilakukan pada skala yang lebih luas, lebih dari satu Paroki.
