A Challenging Case of Beta-Lactam Induced Encephalopathy. A Case Report
Authors: Asheer Shaikha , Mani Salihah Al , Alshehri Ali , Alasmri Mohammad
Published: November 2022

Beta-lactams are widely utilized as a first-line therapy with a
broad-spectrum coverage, bactericidal properties and few side effects as
they are commonly considered as safe drugs. Although these antibiotics
are essential in the treatment of infections, their misuse and
unnecessary prolonged duration may cause harm. Drug-induced
neurotoxicity is a rare adverse reaction associated with beta-lactams.
Encephalopathy is a type of neurotoxicity that is defined as a diffuse
disease of the brain that alters brain function or structure. We report
a case of a patient with normal renal function that developed
beta-lactam induced encephalopathy with full resolution of her symptoms
following discontinuation of the offending antibiotics. This case
highlights the importance of early recognizing this rare adverse effect
and its impact on clinical outcomes.

Comparative analysis of gut microbiota and fecal metabolites in captive and wild Gansu red deer
Authors: Zhang Zhenxiang , Bao Changhong , Li Zhaonan , He Caixia , Jin Wenjie , Chen Yanxia , Li Changzhong
Published: November 2022

Gut microbiota is the largest and most complex micro-ecosystem in
animals, influenced by the host’s dietary habits and living environment,
and its composition and diversity play irreplaceable roles in animal
nutrient metabolism, immunity, and adaptation to the environment.
Nevertheless, the composition of Gansu red deer (Cervus
elaphusKansuensis) gut bacteria is not known. In this study, the
composition and diversity of gut microbiome and fecal metabolomics of C.
elaphusKansuensis were identified and compared for the first time using
16S-rRNA gene sequencing, metagenomic sequencing and a combination of
untargeted liquid chromatogram-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). There were
significant differences in gut microbiota structure and diversity
between wild and farmed C. elaphusKansuensis. At the genus level,
UCRD-005 was dominant in both captive red deer (CRD) and wild red deer
(WRD), andBacteroidales_RF16_group was dominant in CRD, whereas
Bacillus was dominant in WRD. Metagenomic sequencing showed similar
results to 16s rRNA sequencing for gut microbiota in CRD and WRD at the
phylum and genus levels. 16S rRNA sequencing and metagenomic
datasuggested that Bacteroides and Bacillusmight serve as a marker
microbiota for both CRD and WRD. LC-MS/MS results showed that 520
significantly different metabolites were detected between CRD and WRD
and most differential metabolites were involved in lipid metabolism. The
results suggest that the large differences in gut microbiota composition
and fecal metabolites between CRD and WRD may be due to the fact that
different diet habits and living environments over time have developed
their own stable gut microbiome characteristics to meet their respective
survival and reproduction needs.

Authors: Goh Xueying , Harvey Laura , Axon Patrick , Donnelly Neil , Tysome James , Borsetto Daniele , Smith Matthew , Bance Manohar
Published: November 2022

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and risks factors associated
with electrode migration in cochlear implant (CI) recipients. Design:
Retrospective cohort study of all CIs performed between 1 January 2018-1
August 2021 in a single tertiary adult and paediatric cochlear implant
centre in the UK. Main outcome measures: The primary aim is to determine
the prevalence of electrode migration, based on comparing intraoperative
surgeon report and results of a routine plain X-ray performed 2 weeks
after surgery. Electrode migration is defined as the detection of
movement of 2 or more electrodes out of the cochlea from time of
surgery. Multivariate analysis was performed to investigate risk factors
including preoperative factors and intraoperative factors that might
predispose to migration. Results: 465 patients, having 516 distinct
surgery sessions, with 628 implants were analyzed. Electrode migration
occurred in 11.5% of all implants. Pre-existing cochlear abnormality
was an independent associated risk factor for electrode migration
(OR:3.40<1.20-9.62> p=0.021). Demographics,
surgical technique, usage of a precurved electrode, CSF leak, surgeon
seniority and intraoperative telemetry did not influence risk of
migration. There were 5 implants which migrated later than 2 weeks,
median: 263days, for which head injury was a common precipitating
factor. There was some difference between different lateral wall
electrodes Conclusion: Electrode migration in the early postoperative
period is a common occurrence and is more likely in implant recipients
with obstructed or malformed cochleae. Keywords : Cochlear implants,
Electrode migration, Risk factors, Cochlear abnormalities, Postoperative

Integrating food webs in species distribution models improves ecological niche estimation and predictions
Authors: Poggiato Giovanni , Andréoletti Jérémy , Shirley Laura , Thuiller Wilfried
Published: November 2022

Biotic interactions drive multitrophic species community assembly. Yet,
explicitly incorporating this process in species distribution models
(SDMs) is particularly challenging, even when biotic interactions are
known. Here, we propose a framework that combines knowledge of trophic
interactions with Bayesian structural equation models that model each
species as a function of its prey or predators and environmental
conditions. We tested and validated our framework on realistic simulated
communities from different theoretical models. We showed that our
framework improves the inference of both species’ fundamental and
realized niches compared to classical SDMs (mean performances increased
by 11% and 4% respectively), especially for species with strong biotic
control, thus increasing model predictive performance (up to 99% and
70% improvement, respectively). Our framework can easily integrate
various SDM extensions (e.g., occupancy models) and algorithms, and
stands out as a novel solution for modeling multitrophic community
distributions when trophic interactions are known or assumed.
Sensorimotor processing in autism and typical development: a high-density electrical mapping study of response-locked neural activity in children and adolescents
Authors: Wakim Kathryn-Mary , Foxe John , Molholm Sophie
Published: November 2022

Sensorimotor atypicalities are common in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
and are often evident prior to classical ASD symptoms. Despite evidence
of differences in neural processing during imitation in ASD, research on
integrity of basic sensorimotor processing is surprisingly sparce. To
address this gap in the literature, here we examined basic sensorimotor
processing in autism by analyzing EEG data recorded from a large sample
of children and adolescents while they performed an audio-visual speeded
reaction time task. Using response-locked signal averaging, we
investigated the neural processes associated with execution of a cued
movement in a large sample of children and adolescents with ASD (n=84)
and without ASD (n=84). Analyses focused on motor related brain
responses that are well-characterized in adults: the late berichtsheft
potential, the motor potential, and the reafferent potential. Group
differences were examined in data parsed by age (6-9 years, 9-12 years,
12-15 years), sensory cue preceding the response (auditory, visual,
bi-sensory audio-visual), and reaction time quartile. Overall, the data
revealed robust sensorimotor neural responses in ASD. Nevertheless,
subtle sensorimotor atypicalities were present in autistic children
across all parcellations, and these differences were most prominent in
the youngest group of children (age 6-9). Future studies focused on
younger children are needed to understand if differences in basic
sensorimotor processing are more prominent earlier in development in
autism.

Published: November 2022

Nosema ceranae, a microsporidium species, is among the most common causes of bee diseases. The positive effect of Agaricus bisporus mushroom extract on the survival and immunity of Nosema-infected bees has been reported recently. The effect could be achieved by stimulating the expression of immune-related genes, but also by suppressing nosemosis. The aim of this work was to determine the effect of A. bisporus extract on the oxidative status of bees infected with N. ceranae. In a cage experiment on newly hatched bees, the effect of aqueous extract of champignon (A. bisporus, strain A15) was investigated. Six groups were formed: three groups were infected and received A. bisporus extract through food at different times (days 1, 3, and 6 after hatching), one group received the extract but was not infected (treatment control), one was only infected with Nosema (positive control) and one was neither infected nor received the extract (negative control). The effects were examined on samples taken on days 7 and 15 of the study. The activities of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) and the concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined. In comparison to the positive control, the enzyme activities and MDA concentrations were significantly lower in the groups fed with the mushroom extract supplement. In the negative control, the level of oxidative stress was lower than in the positive control. In comparison with the other groups, the values mostly did not differ significantly. The oxidative status of bees infected with N. ceranae was significantly better if they were fed with the A. bisporus extract.
Deficits and Disparities in Early Uptake of Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists and SGLT2i Among Medicare-Insured Adults Following a New Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease or Heart Failure
Authors: Cromer Sara J. , Lauffenburger Julie C. , Levin Raisa , Patorno Elisabetta
Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVE

To examine the association of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic deprivation with initiation of guideline-recommended diabetes medications with cardiovascular benefit (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists [GLP1-RA] and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors [SGLT2i]) among older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and either incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or congestive heart failure (CHF).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Using Medicare data (2016–2019), we identified 4,057,725 individuals age >65 years with T2D and either incident ASCVD or CHF. We estimated incidence rates and hazard ratios (HR) of GLP1-RA or SGLT2i initiation within 180 days by race/ethnicity and zip code–level Social Deprivation Index (SDI) using adjusted Cox proportional hazards models.

RESULTS

Incidence rates of GLP1-RA or SGLT2i initiation increased over time but remained low (<0.6 initiations per 100 person-months) in all years studied. Medication initiation was less common among those of Black or other race/ethnicity (HR 0.81 [95% CI 0.79–0.84] and HR 0.84 [95% CI 0.75–0.95], respectively) and decreased with increasing SDI (HR 0.96 [95% CI 0.96–0.97]). Initiation was higher in ASCVD than CHF (0.35 vs. 0.135 initiations per 100 person-months). Moderate (e.g., nephropathy, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) but not severe (e.g., advanced chronic kidney disease, cirrhosis) comorbidities were associated with higher probability of medication initiation.

CONCLUSIONS

Among older adults with T2D and either ASCVD or CHF, initiation of GLP1-RA or SGLT2i was low, suggesting a substantial deficit in delivery of guideline-recommended care or treatment barriers. Individuals of Black and other race/ethnicity and those with higher area-level socioeconomic deprivation were less likely to initiate these medications.

Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVE

People with type 2 diabetes may have insufficient or prolonged sleep that could accelerate cardiovascular disease (CVD) onset, but existing evidence from prospective studies has been limited. We examined the association of sleep duration with CVD incidence and mortality in this high-risk population.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This prospective study included 18,876 participants with type 2 diabetes in the UK Biobank who were free of CVD and cancer at baseline. Habitual sleep duration was obtained using a baseline questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to examine the association between sleep duration and CVD events.

RESULTS

During an average follow-up of 11.0–12.0 years, we documented 2,570 incident cases of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and 598 CVD deaths. Compared with sleeping for 7 h/day, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios of ≤5 and ≥10 h/day were 1.26 (95% CI 1.08, 1.48) and 1.41 (1.16, 1.70) for incident ASCVD, 1.22 (0.99, 1.50) and 1.16 (0.88, 1.52) for coronary artery disease, 1.70 (1.23, 2.35) and 2.08 (1.44, 3.01) for ischemic stroke, 1.02 (0.72, 1.44) and 1.45 (1.01, 2.10) for peripheral artery disease, and 1.42 (1.02, 1.97) and 1.85 (1.30, 2.64) for CVD mortality. Similar results were observed in most sensitivity analyses that aimed to address potential reverse causation and in the joint analyses of sleep duration and metabolic control or diabetes severity status.

CONCLUSIONS

Short and long sleep durations were independently associated with increased risks of CVD onset and death among people with type 2 diabetes.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL CONCEPTOSPHERE IN GREAT BRITAIN
Authors: Terniievska Yevheniia
Published: November 2022

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the process of the national conceptosphere development in Great Britain. It was found that the national conceptosphere is a set of categorized, standardized, processed concepts in the consciousness of the ethnic group. The conceptosphere expands with the enrichment of historical experience, culture of the nation, its art, science and literature. As a result of the analysis of modern linguistic sources it is determined that the main concepts of the British linguistic picture of the world are correlated with the features of the national character of the British. English people usually talk about themselves as quiet, reserved people who are dominated by common sense and who are not inclined to make rash decisions. At the same time, the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish present themselves as the complete opposite, namely as romantic, impulsive and energetic people. In Victorian era such concept as “Englishness”, or English national identity, arose. In that period new traditions, new educational system, and new standards of the English language were emerging. Thus, the political, economic, cultural events and shifts in the history of the British nation at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries led to the formation of the modern conceptosphere of the people. This period in the life of Great Britain gave new meanings to many culturally marked signs embodying the material and immaterial culture.
PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH THE ORNITHONYM COMPONENT: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Tymoshchuk Nataliia
Published: November 2022

The research paper is devoted to the study and comparative analysis of the English and Ukrainian phraseological units with the ornithonym component, revealing their linguistic, cultural and pragmatic peculiarities. The empiric material of the research includes English and Ukrainian phraseological units selected by continuous sampling from phraseological, explanatory, and bilingual dictionaries. The sample size is 601 phraseological units. Analyzing Ukrainian and English phraseological units with an ornithonym component, it can be seen that the names of birds are more often used to denote positive concepts. In both linguistic cultures, the imagery of the stork, chicken, and cock components completely coincide. Most phraseological units were formed on the basis of objective observations of domestic and wild birds. However, extralinguistic factors such as fairy tales, holidays, geography, and gastronomic traditions were singled out. The research material can be used in further research on comparative, contrastive phraseology of English, Ukrainian and other languages.

Meningiomas are the most common primary, intracranial and extra axial tumours, estimated for 30% of all intracranial tumors. The use of hormonal contraceptive is one of the risk factors for meningioma, but the studies still have controversial results. The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics and to correlate between progesterone receptor and the use of hormonal contraceptive in women diagnosed with brain tumor meningioma. This is a cross-sectional study which collect data in dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital in the year 2017-2018. Patient data collection was obtained through the patient’s medical records, whereas the subjects are women with brain tumors meningioma who have undergone surgery. We found 72 women diagnosed with meningioma; however, only 54 subjects were included in this study. Immunohistochemistry staining were performed to all the 54 subjects and revealed that 53 subjects (98.15%) had positive progesterone receptors and only 1 subject was negative (1.85%). Of the 53 subjects with positive progesterone receptors, 48 subjects used hormonal contraceptive (90.57%), with 43 (89.58%) of them used 3 month injectable contraceptive. There is no correlation between progesterone receptors and the use of hormonal contraceptives in female patients with meningioma brain tumor (p value >0.999, Fisher Test).

Benefits of High-Dose Vitamin C in Patients with Sepsis
Authors: Mahen Mawin , Hasan Nabila , Maria Suzy
Published: November 2022

In sepsis, there is an increase in oxidative stress which plays important role in further physiological derangement. Due to its potent antioxidant effect, vitamin C has been proposed as a potential adjunct treatment in patients with sepsis. This study aims to evaluate the benefits of vitamin C administration in patients with sepsis. A systematic search was conducted using electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and Cochrane with keywords combination of vitamin C/ascorbic acid and sepsis/septic. The limits of the search included English language, human subjects, and adults. To limit the confounding effect, only studies with vitamin C monotherapy were considered for inclusion. Seven relevant studies comprising five clinical trials and two retrospective studies were included in this paper for critical appraisal. Most studies found some clinical benefits with the use of vitamin C in patients with sepsis compared to placebo, such as a reduction in SOFA score and mortality. However, these favourable outcomes were not consistent in all studies. In conclusion, vitamin C is a promising adjunct treatment option in patients with sepsis, however further large, optimized multicenter trials are needed to definitively confirm its benefits.
Keywords: vitamin C, ascorbic acid, sepsis, septic shock.
 
Manfaat Vitamin C Dosis Tinggi untuk Pasien Sepsis
Abstrak
Kondisi sepsis menyebabkan peningkatan stres oksidatif yang berperan penting dalam menyebabkan gangguan fisiologis lebih lanjut. Karena memiliki efek antioksidan yang kuat, vitamin C telah diusulkan sebagai terapi adjuvan yang menjanjikan pada pasien sepsis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi manfaat pemberian vitamin C pada pasien sepsis. Pencarian sistematis dilakukan menggunakan database elektronik PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, dan Cochrane dengan kombinasi kata kunci vitamin C/asam askorbat dan sepsis/ septik. Batas pencarian yaitu bahasa Inggris, subjek manusia, dan usia dewasa. Untuk membatasi efek perancu, hanya studi yang menggunakan monoterapi vitamin C yang dipertimbangkan untuk dimasukkan. Tujuh studi relevan yang terdiri dari lima uji klinis dan dua studi retrospektif dimasukkan dalam tulisan ini untuk telaah kritis. Sebagian besar studi mendapatkan manfaat klinis penggunaan vitamin C pada pasien sepsis dibandingkan dengan plasebo, misalnya penurunan skor SOFA dan angka mortalitas, namun hasil positif ini tidak konsisten dalam semua penelitian. Sebagai kesimpulan, vitamin C adalah pilihan terapi adjuvan yang menjanjikan pada pasien sepsis, namun butuh penelitian multisenter yang lebih besar dan optimal untuk memastikan manfaatnya secara definitif.

Methodological aspects of school education improvement in Ukraine (the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries)
Authors: Vykhrushch Nataliya
Published: November 2022

The process of methodological search in the field of school education is continuous and is based on the analysis of historical experience and modern requirements of society to the level of school education. Under such conditions, a retrospective study of methodological aspects of school education in Ukraine becomes especially significant for pedagogical science. The article summarizes the methodological approaches to teaching the humanities and sciences in secondary schools of Ukraine in the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries. The analysis of positive and negative consequences of using different methodological approaches is carried out. The aim of the article is to analyse and systematize the publications of scholars and practicing teachers of the period under study on the methods of teaching school subjects and calls for the use of positive foreign experience of that time. The research methodology involved the use of comparative analysis, systematization and theoretical generalization, bibliographic search. Instructions, manuals for the schedule of educational material, absolute control over each methodological step of the teacher, the number and topic of tasks as well as teaching time to present the material slowed down the progress in teaching methods development for the humanities and sciences in secondary schools throughout Ukraine. At the same time, teachers made attempts to make learning easier and more interesting, tried to introduce a humorous component into the learning process, had the opportunity to share methodological recommendations and learn about foreign methods in the pages of pedagogical journals. In the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries, the following tendencies were observed in the methodology of teaching school subjects in Ukraine: presentation of educational material from simpler to more complex, individual approach to students, use of associations between previously studied material and the new one, the use of visual aids in primary school.

Interaction Analysis in Nurseries
Authors: Klein Ágnes , Tancz Tünde
Published: November 2022

Introduction:
The present research aimed to review the qualitative aspects of communication between children and their caregivers. We focused on the presence of quality indicators, on the strategies we encounter in influencing language acquisition in the interaction between children and early childhood educators.

Methods:
We examined the diversity, awareness and efficiency with which educators use communication tools and techniques in various preschool education situations for children under 3 years of age. In the empirical survey of day-care interactions a questionnaire was based on the evaluation and observation of questionnaire responses.

Results:
The emotional and motivational basis of language acquisition is formed by the toddler’s social inclinations and attachment needs, as well as social inclinations, with his environment playing a prominent role in changing these processes.

Discussion:
These interactions provide a framework for language acquisition, where in the classic case language acquisition is not guided, but takes place through everyday situations, through participation in authentic communication situations. The axiom is that language skills develop in language use.

Limitations:
The questionnaire was validly completed by 60 people. The data collection concentrated on the region of southern and northern Transdanubia in Hungary. Although not in national terms, this offers the opportunity to evaluate and reflect on the situation at the regional level.

Conclusions:
The professional communication and competent language development activity of educators’ results from the interplay of scientific-theoretical knowledge, implicit empirical knowledge, competence-oriented procedures

Published: November 2022

Bambara groundnut is a reliable source of carbohydrates and protein in rainforest agroecology, but limited research had been done and few varieties commercialised. The magnitude of phenotypic variability, character association, and contribution of characters to seed yield were investigated among 50 accessions received from IITA, Nigeria. Field evaluation took place during the 2017 – 18 cropping seasons. The accessions were allocated to experimental plots using a Randomised Complete Block Design with three replicates. Data were collected on phenological, agronomic, and seed yield characters. The main effect showed significant (p ≤ 0.05) differences for phenological, vegetative, and reproductive characters. The year effect influenced agronomic and seed yield characters while accessions by year interaction were insignificant for all characters. The stepwise discriminant analysis identified three redundant characters. The leaflet length and width, canopy spread, leaf/plant, seeds/plant, and seed weight showed high discriminatory ability and are efficient for morphological characterisation and conservation. Hybridisation between accessions dispersed in quadrants 1, 2, and 4 may evolve early and medium maturity types with improved seed yield and biomass. The number of seeds/plant and pods/plant are indices for seed yield. The contribution of pods/plant to seed yield was masked by canopy spread, peduncle length, and pod width indicating competition for photo-assimilates. TVSu 17, TVSu 277, TVSu 271, and TVSu 278 are donor parents for earliness. TVSu 261 performed best for seed yield and yield component characters. Hybridisation among TVSu 261, TVSu 587, TVSu 275, and TVSu 17 will evolve medium maturing and high seed-yielding varieties for further evaluation.

Published: November 2022

The aim of the research and investigation methodology was based on an expert survey, using questionnaires translated into German, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese languages. The experts, interviewed in this study as part of the international community, represent institutions or organizations, that are involved in educational policy or in university research and teaching contexts with the topics and content as well as the implementation of ESD. The answers of the experts provide a different and wide range of variations in assessments of the implementation of the UN Decade and its characteristics of democratic potential and support. This shows that the potential democratic influences can always be assessed much more positively through sustainable development than that of actual democratic changes, particularly in reference to good governance, to the basic and human rights, to the protection of minorities, to civil society participation and to the separation of powers and the rule of law.
How Can I Maintain my Own Identity Within a Crowd? Suggestions From Totalitarian Experiences
Authors: Franzenburg Geert
Published: November 2022

How can the individual preserve his identity within a crowd? How can he/she counter the threats and the temptations of the mass phenomenon? In the following, these questions are answered, correctly based on two contrasting and complementary situations and approaches: on the one hand, the beginnings of the Soviet Union in the 1920s as manifested in everyday life in Moscow (journalistic-systemic view). On the other hand, on biographies of NSDAP members in Germany in the 1920s (biographical approach). The theoretical background provides philosophical treatises from this period (Elias Canetti, José Ortega y Gasset, and Karl Jaspers). Because the situations characterize starting points of totalitarian system (Sowjet-Union/Nazi-Regime), they allow transformations into current and future experiences of collective and group pressure in private and business life, where people experience similar challenges and temptations that are more elementary.
“I believe in video!” An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Video as an Educational Resource
Authors: Østereng Dag Øivind
Published: November 2022

Elevkanalen is a web-based digital educational resource containing videos, animations, pictures, learning paths, texts, quizzes, and many features that meet the Norwegian authorities’ requirements for adapted and inclusive learning issued by The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training (UDIR). The interest of this paper is to examine how the editors of Elevkanalen comprehend video as an educational resource and accordingly contribute to a discussion of professional assessment and didactical utilisation of video in teaching and learning. The protagonists of video-based learning are generally not reluctant to advocate the benefits of using video in education. Nevertheless, in order to be beneficial, it is reasonable to suppose that a deliberate and professional didactical utilisation is required. Video-based learning is at the centre of this study, and the ICAP theory is applied to critically assess video as a learning resource. Moreover, this is discussed in relation to perspectives on education for sustainable development
The Overly Sensitive Nature of Aged Family Inmates as a Socio-Cultural Barrier to Combat Covid-19
Authors: Javed Muniza , Fatima Fizza
Published: November 2022

Human history is full of evidence showing a larger number of human and animal populations got affected by infectious diseases, viruses, and bacteria. Like previous life-threatening pandemics, coronavirus appeared to be a deadly virus in 2019 and declared as pandemic in 2020 by WHO. As per Global Reports, senior citizens have been most vulnerable to the corona virus attacks. This paper explores the experiences of family members dealing with elderly at home in the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak and how they managed them keeping in view their mindset on disease and socio-cultural constraints. For this purpose, qualitative research methods were adopted. 20 participants were selected for the in-depth interviews through purposive sampling. Following themes generated as a result of the data analysis: stubborn and rigid behavior of elderly, emotionally complex reactions, socio-cultural barriers, and traditional approach to the disease. Findings depicted the most common social cultural barriers in dealing with the difficult nature of elderly people are family ties, religious norms, respect, and empathy towards elderly people. Further, research findings highlighted major sentiments of older adults comprise attachment towards their grandchildren, feeling of insecurity, feeling of getting stigmatized, considering themselves as a virus spreader and feeling of being left out. It was found that older adults felt stigmatized, lonely, left out and considered SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) as imposed remedial steps. Overall, it was found that at older age people express more anxiety and fear towards loneliness. Findings will help in sensitizing policy makers to design awareness sessions, religious and other home-based social activities for elderly people to combat stress related to loneliness in older age.
Graph based anomaly detection in human action video sequence
Authors: Kavimandan Pranoti Shrikant , Kapoor Rajiv , Yadav Kalpana
Published: November 2022

In our paper, we have proposed to use graphs to detect anomaly in human action video. Although the detection of anomaly is a widely researched topic, but very few researchers have detected anomaly in action video using graphs. in our proposed method we have represented the smaller section (sub-section) of our input video as a graph where vertices of the graph are the space time interest points in the sub-section video and the association between the space time interest points exists. Thus, graphs for each sub section are created to look for a repeated substructure. We believe most of the actions inherently are repeated in nature. Thus, we have tried to capture the repetitive sub-structure of the action represented as a graph and used this repetitive sub-structure to compress the graph. If the compressed graph has few elements that have not been compressed, we suspect them as anomaly. But the threshold value takes care not to make the proposed method very much sensitive towards the few uncompressed elements. Our proposed method has been implemented on locally created “extended KTH” and “extended Weizmann” datasets with good accuracy score. The proposed method can also be extended for few more applications such as training athletes and taking elderly care.

Shared Science, Shared Future – SUP Action Agenda
Authors: Klaus Ian , Eichel Amanda , Roberts Debra , Schultz Seth , Revi Aromar
Published: November 2022

The SUP Action Agenda provides the perspective of city and business leaders in response to the three volumes of the Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report (IPCC AR6). The Action Agenda explicitly focuses on the policy and solution space, outlining both the opportunities for, and business investments required, to incentivize engagement from all relevant stakeholder communities for co-created solutions to the climate change crisis. While grounded in the scientific understanding of the climate crisis, the Action Agenda goes beyond the SUP Series and the foundational IPCC reports to include inputs from city and business leaders. Distinct from the official SUP Series, which is authored by the scientific community with input from practitioners, the Action Agenda is written from the perspective of city and business leaders and organizations that represent them.
LEGALITY OF REGISTRATION FOR INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS MARRIAGE BASED ON COURT DECISIONS ACCORDING TO LAW AND REGULATIONS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Desimaliati Desimaliati
Published: November 2022

Law Number 1 of 1974, commonly known as the Marriage Law, initially does not acknowledge interfaith marriages. However, it contains provisions that inadvertently legalize such union (verwijzing). Interfaith marriage licenses have been granted through Court Decisions and duly registered at the Population and Civil Registry Office, thereby validating them with full legal implications in state administration and civil law. This research aims to elucidate the application of legal theory and identify pertinent laws and regulations guiding judges in approving the registration of interfaith marriages via Court Decisions. Employing normative legal research methods, this thesis conducts data processing and library research utilizing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. Findings reveal that the validation of interfaith marriages through Court Decisions stems from an alternative interpretation of Article 66 of the Marriage Law, employing conflict of norms principles and legal logic (rechtslogische prinzipien), thereby indicating varied presumptions of the law (vermutungsregeln). Furthermore, multiple laws and regulations support the legalization of interfaith marriage registration in Indonesia. There exist two perspectives guiding the legal considerations of Judges Panels when adjudicating interfaith marriage cases through Court Decisions. To ensure legal protection and certainty for the parties and their offspring, marriages, irrespective of religious differences, should be administratively registered with the state.
Pulsed Nuclear Space Propulsion and International Law: Some Preliminary
Authors: Reynolds Glenn , Outten Leigh
Published: November 2022

Pulsed Nuclear Space Propulsion, researched in the 1950s and 1960s by such eminent physicists as Freeman Dyson, Ted Taylor, Theodore von Karman, and Hans Bethe, involves propelling large spacecraft using compact nuclear explosions from specialized atomic devices. This technology is often known by the name of the Air Force project in which it was developed: Orion. It has long been believed that the 1962 Limited Test Ban Treaty prohibits the use of nuclear pulse space propulsion. After a survey of the Orion project and its results and a review of the applicable law, this Article concludes that language in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty may override the Test Ban agreement to permit non-weapons use of nuclear explosives for propulsion. With a new space race taking place and with important actors such as China not subject to the Test Ban Treaty at all, the subject of pulsed nuclear space propulsion deserves another look.

Published: November 2022

This Article covers the fast-growing use of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, in the aerospace industry for critical and noncritical parts. The use of this technology raises regulatory and liability issues in the United States and Europe. Insurers of aerospace-related companies must also consider how to plan for the risks involved with the technology and the new entrants in the market who are designing, selling, and distributing additive manufacturing printers. Neither the regulatory bodies in the United States nor Europe have issued regulations aimed at additive manufacturing, as the law is even further behind. This Article informs lawyers and others in aerospace to raise awareness of this transformative technology.
