Constrictive pericarditis is a rare cause of ascites and cardiac cirrhosis. We present the case of a 36-year- old male patient with a history of cirrhosis of unknown etiology, who consulted for refractory ascites, dyspnea, and lower limb swelling. Echocardiography determined constrictive pericarditis, which was corroborated by the findings of computed tomography. The clinical and hemodynamic worsening of the patient led to an emergency pericardiectomy with satisfactory recovery. This report shows a severe clinical consequence of constrictive pericarditis, cardiac cirrhosis, which was reversible with pericardial extirpation. Multimodal imaging was essential in the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis.

Objective. To evaluate the self-perception of cardiology residents in Argentina regarding their abilities to help their patients stop smoking, as well as their opinions about their knowledge and skills in this area. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out using secondary data from a study carried out in five Latin American countries and Spain, focusing on the information provided by cardiology residents in Argentina. Discrete variables were expressed as median and interquartile range, and categorical variables were expressed as percentages, and were analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, depending on the relative frequency of the expected values. Results. 447 residents participated; 87.5% routinely provided brief advice to quit smoking, and 11.6% used validated questionnaires to assess the degree of addiction. Furthermore, 32.1% stated that they prescribed pharmacological treatment, but 53.1% were only familiar with a single drug. When asked about their self-perception of getting their patients to stop smoking, the median response was 5 (scale from 1 to 10); only 13.7% responded with a score of 8 or more. Conclusions. The present study suggests that cardiology residents in Argentina recognize the importance of carrying out smoking cessation interventions, but a high proportion of them do not feel qualified to do so.

Marfan´s syndrome is a multisystemic, autosomal dominant congenital abnormality of variable penetrance that affects the integrity of connective tissue. In the cardiovascular system, the dysfunction of the physiology of the aortic root and the myocardial fibrosis originates non-ischemic cardiomyopathy independent of valve lesions. Few data have been reported on the prevalence of arrhythmias and its impact on heart function. We present a 21-year-old man with Marfan’s syndrome and heart failure with frequent supraventricular arrhythmias and aortic root dilation. After ablation in the posteroseptal area of the mitral ring and Tirone David Surgery, there was clinical improvement, the left ventricular ejection fraction increased dramatically from 33% to 46%, the left ventricular end-diastolic volume decreased from 90 ml/m2 to 77 ml/m2 and the NT-proBNP decrease from 1100 pg/mL at 180 pg/mL.
A kínai sajátosságú szocializmus diskurzusa a globális válságok új korszakában
Authors: Soós Kinga
Published: November 2023

2022. október 16. és 22. között, globális válságokkal terhelt időszakban tartották meg a Kínai Kommunista Párt (KKP) XX. Országos Kongresszusát, amikor is Hszi Csin-ping a „második százéves célkitűzés” megvalósítását, a kínai nemzet 2049-ig történő megújítását határozta meg a központi feladatként az elkövetkezendő időszakra. Felmerülhet a kérdés, hogy milyen hatással vannak a világban zajló krízisek e célok elérésére, vagyis hogyan készül a Kínai Népköztársaság a kínai sajátosságú szocializmus új korszakára azok közepette. Az elemzés fókuszában az utóbbi idők legmeghatározóbb globális válságai – a Covid19-világjárvány és az ukrajnai háború – következtében a KKP politikai diskurzusában bekövetkezett diszkurzív változások állnak.
Az orosz–ukrán háború közép-ázsiai látószögből
Authors: Gyene Pál
Published: November 2023

A tanulmány az orosz–ukrán konfliktusnak az öt közép-ázsiai köztársaságra gyakorolt politikai, biztonsági és gazdasági hatásait kívánja megvizsgálni. A posztszovjet térség – rosszindulatúan: „Oroszország hátsó udvara” – mélyen beágyazódott az oroszok által uralt katonai blokkba és gazdasági integrációba: Kazahsztán, Kirgizisztán és Tádzsikisztán a Kollektív Biztonsági Szerződés Szervezetének, az első kettő az Eurázsiai Gazdasági Uniónak is tagja. Üzbegisztánnak és az elszigetelt Türkmenisztánnak sikerült távolságot tartania az „orosz medve” fojtogató dominanciájától. Amióta azonban Moszkva nyílt katonai agressziót folytat, még a legközelebbi partnerei is vonakodó szövetségeseknek bizonyulnak. Bár az ENSZ Közgyűlésében elzárkóztak attól, hogy nyíltan elítéljék Oroszországot, egyikük sem fejezte ki egyértelmű támogatását. A válságnak a térségre gyakorolt gazdasági hatása jelentős: míg az Oroszországban dolgozó közép-ázsiai vendégmunkások hazautalásai csökkennek, s a régióból érkezett migránsok emberi jogi atrocitások érik, az oroszok Közép-Ázsiába való beözönlése felhajtja ott az ingatlanárakat, és inflációt generál. Egy orosz katonai kudarc az orosz kulturális befolyás eróziójával járna a régióban, miközben Kína gazdaságilag, Törökország pedig politikai és kulturális szempontból még inkább előtérbe kerülne.

Immune-nutritional indices in female Nigerian breast cancer patients with different tumour characteristics
Authors: Jimoh Mutiu , Arinola Ganiyu
Published: November 2023

Breast cancer presents varied and complex clinicopathological features which make its management individualistic, prolonged and expensive, thus the need to differentiate each type of breast cancer using cheap and easy to perform investigations. This study evaluated the differentiation potential of extensive immune-nutritional indices which combined serum C-reactive protein (CRP), haemoglobin, albumin levels, blood lymphocyte and platelet counts in breast cancer patients of different status. The aim of this study was to investigate whether pre-treatment Onodera’s prognostic nutritional index (OPNI), CRP-Albumin-Lymphocyte (CALLY) index and the Haemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte and Platelet (HALP) scores differ with breast cancer characteristics. We enrolled a total of 135 consecutive newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who were not on any treatment from Radiation Oncology Department, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Lymphocyte count, platelet count and haemoglobin levels were determined using auto-analyser while serum CRP and albumin levels were measured using ELISA. Immune-nutritional indices (OPNI, CALLY and HALP) were calculated. Haemoglobin concentration, serum albumin level, OPNI, CALLY and HALP were significantly decreased while serum CRP was significantly raised in breast cancer patients compared with control. Mean values of OPNI, CALLY and HALP were significantly decreased in late stage breast cancer patients compared with early stage breast cancer patients, while only CALLY was significantly decreased in poorly differentiated and metastatic breast cancer patients compared with well differentiated and non-metastatic breast cancer patients respectively. This study confirmed the presence of malnutrition and inflammation in breast cancer patients, especially late-stage, poorly differentiated and metastatic groups. This calls for monitoring of liver functions in all cases of breast cancer.

"More poison than words can describe": What did people die of after the 1783 Laki eruption?
Authors: Wieners Claudia Elisabeth , Hálfdanarson Guðmundur
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The 1783 Laki eruption in Iceland was followed by an almost 20 % population loss, traditionally attributed to famine (caused by fluorine poisoning of livestock) and contagious diseases. From the 1970s, hypotheses were formed that fluorine poisoning might have contributed to human mortality in Iceland, and air pollution might have caused excess deaths both in Iceland and Europe. Using historical documents including parish registries, we find that regional and temporal patterns in Icelandic excess mortality can be satisfactorily explained by hunger and disease, when other factors such as the availability of secondary food sources (fishing, food aid) are taken into account. In contrast, the timing and estimated concentrations of air pollution do not match observed excess mortality, and observed symptoms and estimated human fluorine uptake do not suggest large-scale fluorosis in humans. We therefore conclude that the evidence for significant direct contributions from pollution to human mortality is weak.
Dams in the Mekong: A comprehensive database, spatiotemporal distribution, and hydropower potentials
Authors: Ang Wei Jing , Park Edward , Tran Dung Duc , Loc Ho Huu , Pokhrel Yadu
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Dams have proliferated along the Mekong, spurred by energy demands from economic development and capital from private companies. Swift dam evolution has rendered many databases outdated, in which mismatches arise from differing compilation methods. Without a comprehensive database, up-to-date spatial assessment of dam growth is unavailable. Looking at future development, hydropower potential specifically within the Mekong remains to be systematically evaluated. In this paper, we offer (1) an open-access and unified database of 1,055 dams, (2) a spatiotemporal analysis of dams on a sub-basin and country level from the 1980s to the post-2020s, and (3) a grid-based assessment of the theoretical basin-wide hydropower potential, using present-day discharge from the CaMa-Flood model (2011–2015, 0.05 degree), and future discharge from the WaterGAP2 model used for ISIMIP2b (2021–2030, 0.5 degree). The dam count of 1,055 is more than twice the largest existing database, with 608 hydropower dams generating a boom in hydropower capacity from 1,242 MW in the 1980s to 69,199 MW post-2020s. While China had the largest capacity increase from the 2000s to the 2010s (+16,854 MW), Laos has the most planned dams and the highest projected growth post-2020s (+18,223 MW). Based on present-day discharge, we estimate a basin-wide hydropower potential of 1,334,683 MW, where Laos is the highest at 514,887 MW. Based on future discharge modeled with climate change, hydropower potential could grow to over 2,000,000 MW. Laos and China are the highest at around 900,000 MW each, together forming over 80 % of the total potential. Our database facilitates research on dam-induced hydrological and ecological alterations, while spatiotemporal analysis of hydropower capacity could illuminate the complex transboundary electricity trade. Through both spatiotemporal and hydropower potential evaluation, we address the current and future vulnerability of countries to dam construction, highlighting the need for better planning and management in the future hydropower hotspot Laos. The Mekong dam database is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.21979/N9/ACZIJN (Ang et al., 2023).

Authors: Craciun Ioana , Brudasca Florinel Gheorghe
Published: November 2023

Resveratrol and quercetin are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds widely studied for their potential health benefits, particularly their antioxidant properties. This abstract provides an overview of the extensive research conducted on resveratrol and quercetin as antioxidants in animal models, highlighting their mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential. Animal models, such as rodents, have been instrumental in elucidating the oxidative stress pathway and evaluating the efficacy of various antioxidants. Resveratrol and quercetin have demonstrated significant antioxidant effects in animal models through multiple mechanisms. These include direct scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS), upregulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and modulation of oxidative stress-related signaling pathways.

Authors: Blaga Petrean Anamaria Luciana , Popescu Silvana , Bogdan Liviu , Campean Ioana-Diana
Published: November 2023

The aim of this work was to evaluate the welfare of sheltered dogs using behavioral indicators that indicate negative and positive emotional states (provoked and unprovoked behavior). The behavior of the selected animals was evaluated by direct observation of the indicators. The data collected was used for computing a life quality score (LQ). Forty-three behavioral indicators (23 negative indicators and 20 positive indicators) were identified and analyzed in 20 dogs housed for more than two years in the shelter. Six negative indicators (tail chasing, circling, escape attempt, chewing bars, coprophagy and lifting a front leg) were not identified in any of the 20 evaluated dogs. An average LQ score of 0.115 was obtained, with values between -0.35 and 0.4. The results showed that 55% of the assessed dogs had higher LQ scores than the mean value. Canine behavior can be assessed within a reasonable amount of  time by recording the presence or absence of certain behavioral indicators. These recordings can then be processed to obtain a quality of life score for each animal.
The role of GoJek and Grab sharing economy platforms and management accounting systems usage on performance of MSMEs during covid-19 pandemic: Evidence from Indonesia

Published: November 2023

This study investigates the influence of MSME actors' characteristics on the use of sharing economy, management accounting system, and financial performance during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Based on a questionnaire survey obtained from 167 respondents, we hypothesize and find that age and non-formal education have a positive effect on the use of the sharing economy. MSMEs that are managed by actors at a young age tend to use the sharing economy to maintain their business. In addition, MSMEs’ leaders that receive non-formal education acquire additional business knowledge encouraging them to use the sharing economy. Furthermore, the use of the sharing economy has a positive effect on Management Accounting Systems usage. Finally, Management Accounting Systems usage has a positive effect on the financial performance. The results of this study provide useful insights into the design of effective MSMEs' mentoring systems and support the Indonesian government program toward empowering MSMEs.

Published: November 2023

The primary aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role played by entrepreneurial accounting practices in mitigating information disparities, as perceived by employees within the realm of Jordanian financial intermediaries. This role is encapsulated in various components, including accounting systems and policies, international financial reporting standards, international external auditing standards, international internal auditing standards, as well as professional and ethical conduct guidelines. In pursuit of our research objectives, we adopted two distinct methodological approaches. Firstly, a descriptive analytical approach was employed, involving the development of a structured questionnaire to gather primary data pertaining to the assessment of independent variables associated with entrepreneurial accounting practices. The second approach encompassed an applied perspective, seeking to gauge the impact of entrepreneurial accounting practices on reducing information asymmetry. This was achieved by examining the financial statements of insurance companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange for the period spanning 2016 to 2022, thereby constituting our dependent variable. Rigorous statistical techniques were employed to meticulously analyze the collected data, with the validation of our hypotheses achieved through a comprehensive multiple regression analysis. The findings of this study distinctly underscore the pivotal role played by entrepreneurial accounting practices in ameliorating information asymmetry issues within the corporate economic landscape. A robust and statistically significant correlation emerged between our dependent variable, namely the reduction of information asymmetry, and both the independent variables associated with entrepreneurial accounting practices and their inherent characteristics. This study's significant recommendation extends beyond the mere technical dimensions of accounting, encompassing a call for a holistic reevaluation of the accounting profession. Addressing the enduring phenomenon of information asymmetry among stakeholders is not merely a concern confined to the technical aspects of accounting. Rather, it represents a profound professional and ethical crisis that permeates the entire accounting ecosystem. This crisis emanates from the very foundations and legal frameworks of the profession, extends through accounting standards, and encompasses professional conduct and ethics. Ultimately, it concludes with the supervision and oversight of the quality of professional performance, an obligation shared by accountants, certified auditors, and management alike.

Spatio-temporal evaluation of ecosystem services in the São Paulo Macrometropolis, Brazil
Authors: Ikematsu Priscila , Quintanilha José Alberto
Published: November 2023

Urbanization is one of the key factors that drive changes in ecosystem services. Although various studies have analyzed relationships between land-cover change and ecosystem services degradation, few have explored the impacts in future scenarios in mega metropolitan areas. This work performed an individual and integrated spatio-temporal assessment of four ecosystem services in the São Paulo Macrometropolis, the largest urban agglomeration in Latin America, in different land-cover scenarios using Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) software. Correlation analysis and map algebra were used to identify trade-offs and synergies, as well as hotspots and coldspots of multiple ecosystem services. The results showed decreasing trends in the supply capacity of erosion control, carbon storage, and seasonal water yield in the entire São Paulo Macrometropolis and most of its Regional Units, as well as evidence of a worsening of trade-offs between the ecosystem services evaluated. Furthermore, areas with a high supply of three or more ecosystem services were coincident with Conservation Areas, emphasizing the importance of these protected areas. By revealing important relationships among four ecosystem services, the outputs suggest regions and combinations of services for which spatial planning and appropriate conservation mechanisms can be used to optimize synergies and mitigate trade-offs. The results can help land use planning practitioners and decision-makers to design management strategies and policies for conservation and restoration based on linkages between specific units and associated ecosystem services and their trade-offs in this strategic region of Brazil.

ABOUT REDESIGNED ROMAN HELMETS
Authors: Негин А.Е.
Published: November 2023

В статье обсуждаются нетипичные шлемы римского времени. Им свойственно смешение признаков разных типов. Выборка включает три группы шлемов: 1) устаревшие и переделанные в римских арсеналах в связи с появлением новых типов, 2) модифицированные по желанию неримских вспомогательных солдат и 3) «варварский» образец, созданный в подражание римским шлемам и с использованием аутентичных деталей. Изучение данного материала способствует получению новых знаний о взаимных влияниях в технологии защитного вооружения как в Барбарикуме, так и за его пределами, позволяя вырабатывать новые суждения о миграциях, пространственном распределении импорта и т.п.

The paper discusses a series of atypical helmets of the Roman period. All specimens display a mixture of elements borrowed from various helmet types. The sample consists of three groups of helmets: (1) the outmoded ones that have been reworked in Roman armories after the emergence of newer helmet types, (2) those which were modified according to the wishes of non-Roman auxiliary soldiers, and (3) a ‘barbaric’ specimen, which imitates Roman helmets, with elements of Roman manufacture incorporated into it. Going far beyond all well-known typologies, the sample under study provides better understanding of reciprocal contacts in armament technologies both in Barbaricum and elsewhere and enables newer insights on migrations, spatial distribution of imports, etc.

China, has the fastest aging population globally, making the care and support of the elderly a critical concern for the future. In this context, aging in place is the preferred choice for many elderly individuals, and the design of home environments plays a direct role in their physical and psychological well-being. This article, with a focus on healthy aging, addresses the psychological needs and issues commonly encountered by the elderly in their home lives. It employs the principles and methods of design psychology to analyze and research the design of home environments for the elderly. The article proposes key design considerations for improving elderly home environments beyond meeting functional requirements related to aging in place, with the aim of creating more conducive environments for elderly care and placing genuine attention on the psychological well-being of the elderly.
Manifestation of Lingnan Folk Dance Culture within Dance Compositions
Authors: Zhou Jie
Published: November 2023

Lingnan folk dance, the traditional dance art form of the Lingnan of China, encapsulates the humanistic sentiment of the area. Various types of Lingnan folk dances reflect the simple and hardworking life attitude of the laboring populace in the Lingnan. The Lingnan of China is characterized by its rich folk cultural diversity, resulting in unique Lingnan dance styles under the influence of different folk cultures. The varied and dynamic variations of the typical Lingnan folk dance styles can be categorized into examples like Lingnan opera folk dance and lifestyle folk dance. Impacted by the multi-ethnic culture and social consciousness of the Lingnan, folk dances primarily express ethnic sentiment within dance compositions. The use of dance as a medium accomplishes the transmission of folk dance art, exemplifying folk culture in the process of this conveyance. As a means of cultural inheritance in the Guangdong and Guangxi, the elements of daily life should be emphasized within dance compositions of Lingnan folk dance, along with the aesthetic representation of dance. This thesis will summarize the content and artistic connotations of Lingnan folk dance and will further delve into the manifestation forms of folk dance culture.

The notion of neutrosophic nil radicals of neutrosophic ideals in rings is introduced, and related properties are investigated. In addition, we study some relations between the nil radical of the neutrosophic polynomial ideal of the polynomial ring R[x] induced by a neutrosophic ideal of a ring R and the nil radical of a neutrosophic ideal of R. Finally, we find the result of neutrosophic nil radicals of neutrosophic ideals from the epimorphism of rings.

Vad pekar de på?

This article engages in the photographical gesture of pointing. It departs from a personal memory made during a bus trip from the city of Hue to the former demilitarized zone of Vietnam. The tour guide on the bus said, “You cannot imagine”. What we, the passengers, could not imagine was the effects of Agent Orange spread during the American War (in the West generally known as the Vietnam War). As we travelled through the landscape the guide pointed at two plastic covered photographs meant to give evidence and provide material for our imaginations. The main focus of the article, however, is set on the Hanoi based artist Nguyen Trinh Thi’s Landscape Series No. 1 from 2013. This multimedia series presents Vietnamese press photographs collected from the internet. It addresses an archive of cultural memory while also accentuating the act of pointing at something which is hidden yet present. Nguyen investigates “landscapes as quiet witnesses to history.” When investigating this she comes across uncertainties as well as specificities. The overall shadowing specificity is the repetitive act of pointing. All the images she collects show people using the index finger to indicate something invisible but significant. It comes across as assertive and communicative but reveals little. The pointing gesture seems to suggest that something will always remain elsewhere.
Comparison between the Four-parameter and Five-parameter Logistics Equations in the Determination of the Limits of Detection of Ochratoxin A
Authors: Bunawan Siti Noraini , Masdor Noor Azlina
Published: November 2023

Ochratoxin A, a type of mycotoxin, was detected in plant sample matrices using the "optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy" (OWLS) method. The calibration curve for the detection of ochratoxin A utilizing "optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy" (OWLS) displayed a sigmoidal shape; hence, the 5-parameter logistics (5-PL) or 4-parameters logistics (4-PL) model should be used to fit the data rather than a linear model. Through the use of error function analysis and various functions such as Bias Factor, corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc), adjusted correlation coefficient (adjR2), Hannan–Quinn information criterion (HQC), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and Accuracy Factor, the distinction between the 5-PL and 4-PL models is found to be inconsistent. The half maximal effective concentration (EC50) confidence intervals overlapped, indicating no difference between the two methods; the 4-PL model was chosen because of its fewer parameters. The Limits of Detection (LOD) calculated using the 4-PL equation was 0.818 ng/mL, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.526-1.143 ng/mL. This value falls within the estimated range of 0.5 to 10 ng/mL found in the first investigation. Not only was the linear component of the data curve successfully represented by this study's use of the 4-PL model, but the model was also successful in representing the entire date curve.

Workload refers to the volume and intensity of tasks and responsibilities assigned to interns during their internship period. It encompasses the amount of work, deadlines, complexity, and the level of autonomy given to students. Compensation, on the other hand, refers to the monetary or non-monetary benefits provided to interns for their work. This study aims to determine the effect of workload on job satisfaction, the effect of compensation on job satisfaction, and the effect of workload and compensation on student job satisfaction in the Certified Independent Study & Internship Program (MSIB) Batch 3 PT. INKA Multi Solusi Service in Madiun City. The study utilizes quantitative data obtained from questionnaires distributed to 35 participants. The data were analyzed using the simple linear regression analysis method with the help of SPSS for data processing to prove the hypothesis. The results indicate that the workload variable has a significant negative effect on job satisfaction, meaning that higher workloads are associated with lower job satisfaction. Conversely, the compensation variable has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction, meaning that higher compensation leads to higher levels of job satisfaction. Simultaneously, the variables of workload and compensation show a significant combined effect, suggesting that lower workloads and higher compensation result in higher job satisfaction among students in the 3rd batch of the Certified Independent Study & Internship Program PT. INKA Multi Solusi Service in Madiun City.
