Authors: Barahona Alexandra , Campos Claudia , Llano Carina , Nudelman Laura , Diaz Isenrath Gabriela
Published: August 2023

Las áreas naturales protegidas (ANPs) son un excelente escenario para las acciones de Educación Ambiental para la Biodiversidad (EAB). El objetivo fue analizar las redes de actores sociales que los guardaparques identifican como implicados en la EAB de las ANPs. Las relaciones que establecen con los actores y las propuestas de EAB que llevan a cabo. Los resultados muestran que una diversidad de actores sociales se relaciona con los guardaparques (municipalidades, escuelas rurales, voluntarios de tecnicaturas, pobladores locales, investigadores, ONGs, visitantes, organismos gubernamentales) a través de relaciones de afinidad o de tensión. Las escuelas rurales facilitan las relaciones con los pobladores, mientras que, los organismos que detentan más poder no se perciben como interesados en apoyar a los guardaparques en la EAB.

The lack of strategy in marketing woven mats made from palm leaf in West Lenteng Village is the cause of the decline in sales of woven mats made from lontar leaves. This research uses qualitative research with a descriptive approach. This type of research is field research, i.e. jumping directly into the research site. The location and time of the study took place in the western village began on September 3, 2021 which was sourced from primary data and Skunder Data. Data collection techniques are by observation, interview and documentation methods. Data analysis uses the miles and huberman model with three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion.Marketing strategies used in woven mat marketing in West Lenteng Village use 4P: Products, Promotions, Prices and Locations The marketing of products carried out by mat craftsmen includes: a) the type of product in the form of woven mats made from lontar leaves. b) product development through a tighter and neater mat form that distinguishes with the production of other mats. c) Good mat quality prepared by the mat craftsmen selected by selection in order to produce a good mat. Marketing strategies against prices set by mat craftsmen are: a) Factors that affect the pricing of mat webbing are economic conditions, natural conditions, competition and costs. b) The purpose of pricing is optimization of increased operating profit. Marketing strategies to distributors carried out by woven mat craftsmen are: a) Direct distribution (where artisans woven mat-consumers) b) Indirect distribution, 1. Artisan-retailer-consumer 2. Artisan-agent-consumer 3. Artisan-agents-retailer-consumer. Marketing strategy for promotion carried out by mat craftsmen in the village of west lenteng is publicity relations: a). cooperation with the community b). Fellow craftsmen woven mat c). Person to person. This mat woven strategy prioritizes quality lontar leaf raw materials so as to produce strong and durable goods. And the different way of making it becomes a characteristic of woven from West Lenteng Village. The obstacles faced from the mat woven marketing strategy is that a place very far from the highway makes it difficult for consumers to reach it and only reach by collectors. The second obstacle is that marketing using publicity is the cause of weak introduction to public affairs.

Published: August 2023

In this research, researchers will analyze the use of information technology in the internal audit process and the impact it causes, both good and bad impacts. This analysis process uses descriptive qualitative methods with literacy studies through journals and articles related to internal audit. Researchers will use the journal or article by comparing and matching data from existing research results. After the data is collected, the researcher will draw conclusions from the data obtained. The result of this research is that the use of information technology has an impact on the internal audit process. There are good and bad impacts, including the ease of auditing process and speed when auditing large amounts of data. However, the bad impact is that the command input error on the computer makes the audit process repeat itself, besides that auditors still need to re-examine the results of computer audits because computer audit results are not always accurate. Damage that may occur to the device can also affect the auditing process.
IMPACT OF SARS-CoV-2 INFECTION ON THYROID FUNCTION – PATOMECHANISM AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: RABIZA Agnieszka , SŁOWIŃSKA Anna , GŁUSZAK Paweł , WINKEL Katarzyna , KURZYCA Julia , OWECKI Maciej
Published: August 2023

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the pathogenic agent of the COVID-19 disease, which pandemic had caused 6.8 million deaths worldwide by February 2023. In the course of the disease, involvement of the thyroid gland is observed. The pathomechanism of damage to the thyroid gland is bidirectional – direct cytotoxicity of the virus and the indirect effect of a cytokine storm. Circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines lead to deiodinase activity dysregulation, resulting in changes in plasma concentrations of TSH, fT3, and fT4. These hormone abnormalities are observed in about 16% of patients during COVID-19 and may also result from the treatment itself – systemic corticosteroids. Dysregulation of the immune system also leads to autoinflammatory thyroid diseases. It seems crucial to monitor thyroid hormones to detect subclinical forms of thyroiditis early. This paper presents the prevalence and potential pathomechanism of thyroid disorders observed during SARS-CoV-2 infection – subacute thyroiditis, low T3 syndrome, Graves-Basedow disease, and Hashimoto’s disease.

The role of autofluorescence and Indocyanine green (ICG) in Endocrine Surgery
Authors: Paspala Anna , Nastos Constantinos
Published: August 2023

Parathyroid preservation during total thyroidectomy is crucial in preventing postoperative hypoparathyroidism. The use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring has been shown to reduce the incidence of hypoparathyroidism. However, this method has limitations, and alternative techniques such as autofluorescence and ICG angiography have emerged as potential options for parathyroid preservation. The use of ICG angiography and near-infrared autofluorescence has shown promise in improving parathyroid gland preservation and reducing the risk of postoperative hypocalcaemia and hypoparathyroidism. The combination of autofluorescence and ICG angiography has also been found to be useful in identifying parathyroid glands in challenging cases, such as reoperations for thyroid or parathyroid diseases. However, further studies are needed to establish its long-term safety and efficacy and to address the limitations of its implementation in clinical practice.

Published: August 2023

Эпидемия ВИЧ-инфекции в мире и Республике Казахстан обусловлена ростом заболеваемости в популяциях ключевых групп населения (КГН). Представители КГН относятся к девиациям в рамках бинарной гендерной системы. В ряде государств третий пол признан официально. Например, Великобритании, Австралии, Австрии, Новой Зеландии и многих других. В настоящий момент нормы гендера все больше размываются. И тем не менее представители этих популяций повсеместно подвергаются стигматизации. Медицинскому персоналу в Казахстане необходимо знать самим и осведомить пациентов о проводимых мероприятиях, таких, как открытие дружественных кабинетов, предоставления доконтактной (ДКП), постконтактной (ПКП) профилактики и другие меры и исключить стигматизацию, поскольку у нас высокие цели победить ВИЧ-инфекцию.

The epidemic of HIV infection in the world and the Republic of Kazakhstan is caused by an increase in morbidity in the populations of key population groups (KРG). Representatives of the KPG relate to deviations within the binary gender system. In a number of states, the third sex is officially recognized. For example, Great Britain, Australia, Austria, New Zealand and many others. At the moment, gender norms are increasingly being eroded. Nevertheless, representatives of these populations are stigmatized everywhere. Medical personnel in Kazakhstan need to know themselves and inform patients about the activities carried out, such as opening friendly offices, providing pre-contact (PPCP), post-contact (PCP) prevention and other measures and eliminate stigmatization, since we have high goals to defeat HIV infection.

Authors: Bastidas Gaete María Angélica , Marcotti Fernández Anthony , Villarroel González Alejandra
Published: August 2023

El presente artículo pretende analizar la importancia de los agentes educativos del área de la salud en relación con el fenómeno migratorio, entendiendo a este último como un determinante social de la salud. Al ser un pilar fundamental del proceso educativo de futuros profesionales de la salud, el rol de estos agentes cobra especial relevancia al definir los determinantes sociales de la salud como aquellos factores y mecanismos por los cuales las condiciones en las que viven las personas afectan el nivel de salud, pero que son potencialmente remediables a través de políticas sociales y sanitarias. Es por esto que recae en ellos la responsabilidad de un cambio de paradigma en estas materias a través de una reformulación de las competencias culturales y conocimientos actitudinales, entendiéndolos como un saber-hacer complejo, basado tanto en la reflexión crítica como en la acción y en su aplicación para proporcionar cuidados culturalmente seguros, congruentes y eficaces, en asociación con individuos, familias y comunidades. En este contexto Chile se encuentra en una posición de oportunidad para proteger el bienestar y salud de la población migrante produciendo cambios en el contexto social, resaltando su importancia para la salud pública y fortaleciendo así aspectos de seguridad y desarrollo.

The research aims to analyze madrasah in the national education system. The type of research used is library research, with a research approach namely the sociological approach to education and the normative theological approach. The results of the study show that along with the development and expansion of Islam, madrasas as Islamic educational institutions began to be established and developed in the Islamic world around the 5th-6th century H or 11-12th centuries. So madrasas need serious renewal to overcome and educate the nation's children who are not only fixated on old-style study benches but are also able to compete in a world full of "modern" progress. The influence of the ideas of renewal that developed in the Islamic world and the national awakening of the Indonesian nation, little by little general subjects entered the madrasah curriculum. The quality of education in madrasas must continuously be improved so that it is of high quality so that it is able to contribute in preparing quality human resources as a national asset that can contribute to national development so that it becomes a nation that has high competitiveness at the international level.
The Effect of Cash Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, Total Asset Turnover, Return on Asset and a Firm Size on Dividend Payout Ratio at Bank Persero Listed in IDX High Dividend 20 Period 2018-2021
Authors: Virandani  , Sofyan Mohammad
Published: August 2023

Several state-owned banks experienced drastic profit declines in 2000. However, these banks still provided a high percentage of dividends to their shareholders. This prompted the author's interest to analyze the effect of the cash ratio, debt to equity ratio, total asset turnover, return on assets and firm size on the dividend payout ratio of state-owned banks listed in IDX High Dividend 20 in the 2018-2021 period. This research is a quantitative research, with multiple linear regression data analysis techniques using the EViews 12 application as a data processing tool. The data used is secondary data, with the sample being the financial statements of state-owned banks listed in the IDX High Dividend 20 in the 2018-2021 period. The results of the study indicate that cash ratio, debt to equity ratio, total asset turnover, return on assets and firm size simultaneously have a significant effect on the dividend payout ratio of state-owned banks listed in IDX High Dividend 20 in the 2018-2021 period, with a significance level of 97.14%. Partially, however, cash ratio, debt to equity ratio, total asset turnover and return on assets have no significant effect on the dividend payout ratio, except for firm size which partially has a significant effect of 0.7143 on the dividend payout ratio of state-owned banks listed in IDX High Dividend 20 in the 2018-2021 period with a significance level of more than 95%. Prospective investors can use the size of a state-owned bank as a standard in determining the right state-owned bank to invest in, because the larger the size of the state-owned bank, the greater the percentage of dividends it distributes to its shareholders.

Self-organisation and empowerment in the struggle against silence. Network of Tortured People of Navarre
Authors: Soto Nolasco Mikel
Published: August 2023

In 2021, a group of tortured people and their relatives in Navarre started a process of self-organisation that culminated in 2022 with the birth of the organisation Network of Tortured People of Navarre.
The process of self-organisation of tortured people in Navarra is an uncommon phenomenon, which can offer interesting lessons especially for torture victims in other countries and contexts. The aim of this article is to describe a survivor-lead experience and to analyse the keys to this process of collective empowerment.
The article has two parts: the first explains the phenomenon of torture in Navarre from the 1960s, in Franco's dictatorship, to the present day using data from the Study on Torture in Navarre, highlighting significant cases or events.
The second part is focused on describing the self-organising process of the victims and some lessons that we think may be useful for other realities and groups of torture victims who want to generate self-organising processes. The article analyses some aspects in the genesis and the first steps of the Network with emphasis on those aspects that can be useful to other victims' organisations in their struggle against torture. To do so, we will analyse these aspects: The political and social context in which the Network was born, the Network's strategies for dealing with victims' difficulties in working with their "traumatic event", the organisational structure and development of the network, the Network's basic principles and demands, the Network's strategy and philosophy of work, the Network's policy on relations and alliances and the opportunities and consequences of the process being driven by victims of torture.

Published: August 2023

This article is devoted to the analysis of problems and prospects of development of the social trust system (social rating) in the People's Republic of China. At the same time, the authors conclude that the development and implementation by the state of behavioral control systems for both individuals and legal entities is a necessity to ensure optimal management of all areas of society. However, their implementation should be carried out under the constant supervision of civil society institutions (in particular, through the functioning of the institute of public control). The author uses a number of methods of scientific research, in particular: analysis; synthesis; interpolation; extrapolation; comparative legal; historical; sociological and a number of others. The paper examines the genesis of the social trust system (social rating) in the People's Republic of China, formalizes and justifies the author's classification of the stages of its formation and development, analyzes the impact of this system on the processes of implementation and protection of the system of constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens of the People's Republic of China, identifies and formalizes not only the main problems hindering the development of this system, but also the main directions of this development. The paper analyzes the impact of the social trust system (social rating) in China on the formation and development of behavioral surveillance systems initiated by public authorities in various countries, including the Russian Federation.
TPL2 kinase activity regulates microglial inflammatory responses and promotes neurodegeneration in tauopathy mice

Tumor progression locus 2 (TPL2) (MAP3K8) is a central signaling node in the inflammatory response of peripheral immune cells. We find that TPL2 kinase activity modulates microglial cytokine release and is required for microglia-mediated neuron death in vitro. In acute in vivo neuroinflammation settings, TPL2 kinase activity regulates microglia activation states and brain cytokine levels. In a tauopathy model of chronic neurodegeneration, loss of TPL2 kinase activity reduces neuroinflammation and rescues synapse loss, brain volume loss, and behavioral deficits. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis indicates that protection in the tauopathy model was associated with reductions in activated microglia subpopulations as well as infiltrating peripheral immune cells. Overall, using various models, we find that TPL2 kinase activity can promote multiple harmful consequences of microglial activation in the brain including cytokine release, iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) induction, astrocyte activation, and immune cell infiltration. Consequently, inhibiting TPL2 kinase activity could represent a potential therapeutic strategy in neurodegenerative conditions.
A novel similarity measurement for triangular cloud models based on dual consideration of shape and distance
Authors: Yang Jianjun , Han Jiahao , Wan Qilin , Xing Shanshan , Chen Fei
Published: August 2023

It is important to be able to measure the similarity between two uncertain concepts for many real-life AI applications, such as image retrieval, collaborative filtering, risk assessment, and data clustering. Cloud models are important cognitive computing models that show promise in measuring the similarity of uncertain concepts. Here, we aim to address the shortcomings of existing cloud model similarity measurement algorithms, such as poor discrimination ability and unstable measurement results. We propose an EPTCM algorithm based on the triangular fuzzy number EW-type closeness and cloud drop variance, considering the shape and distance similarities of existing cloud models. The experimental results show that the EPTCM algorithm has good recognition and classification accuracy and is more accurate than the existing Likeness comparing method (LICM), overlap-based expectation curve (OECM), fuzzy distance-based similarity (FDCM) and multidimensional similarity cloud model (MSCM) methods. The experimental results also demonstrate that the EPTCM algorithm has successfully overcome the shortcomings of existing algorithms. In summary, the EPTCM method proposed here is effective and feasible to implement.

Published: August 2023

This work provides an opportunity to reflect on the process of inclusion and accessibility of visually impaired students in Basic Education. That said, a bibliographical research was carried out in the scientific and academic literature, through several databases, outlining theoretical and methodological contributions of the literature towards inclusive education. The results obtained from the study allow us to infer that the inclusion of visually impaired children in Basic Education with regard to regular school is still a subject little explored in the literature. as well as, it needs new discussions so that the theme can be developed, providing new perspectives on the adaptation and accessibility of these children. Furthermore, the study points out that students' cognitive and motor development are improved as the teaching and learning process is articulated with a multidisciplinary and multidimensional team.

Authors: Rana Sohel , Rahman Abdul
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to clarify the functionality of disaster risk management at community level focusing on a disaster-prone haor region of Bangladesh. We conducted this study in a rural haor area of Bangladesh having a fragile ecosystem. The data were collected through focus group discussion (FGD) with union council members of Itna union, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh to reach the purpose of this study. The results clarified that the although the union council members are aware of the institutional responsibility in relation to the disaster risk management at community level, but their functionality is still weak. Therefore, our policy implications drawn from the research suggest that more attention should be paid to the capacity development of union council members through the development of human capital in the region.

An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during November 2020 to March 2021 to study the influence of mulching and organic manure on the growth and pod yield of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). French bean variety BARI Jharsheem-2 was used as planting material in this study. The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor-A: mulch materials (4 levels): M0 = No mulches, M1 = Black polythene, M2 = Rice straw and M3 = Water hyacinth; Factor-B: T0 = No organic manure, T1 = Kitchen compost (5 t ha-1), T2 = Vermicompost (7 t ha-1) and T3 = Kitchen compost + Vermicompost (2.5 t ha-1 +3.5 t ha-1). In the trial, the M1 (Black Polythene Mulch) treatment outperformed the M0 (No Mulch) treatment in terms of plant morphology and yield and yield attributes. Higher pod yields per hectare were produced by the organic manure T3 (Kitchen compost + Vermicompost) than by the control T0 (no organic manure). The investigation's top treatment combination was identified as M1T3 (black polythene mulch and kitchen compost + vermicompost), which had a 17.55 tha-1 yield potential. At the interaction level between mulching and organic manure, a significant correlation between the yield and yield components was found.

The present investigation entitled “Forecasting of resin yield and number of blazes of naturally regenerated chir pine (Pinus roxburghii Sargent) in Himachal Pradesh by using single exponential smoothing method” was carried out during the year 2020-2022. The secondary information was collected regarding the resin yield and number of resin blazes w.e.f. 2005 to 2022 from Himachal Pradesh State Forest Department. Exponential smoothing is a particular moving average technique applied to time series data and to produce smoothed data to make forecast. In exponential smoothing, one or more smoothing parameters are to be determined explicitly and those choices determine the weights assigned to the observations. Forecasting with the help of various linear and non-linear models is on the assumption that the series is stationary.  Often time series is found to be non-stationary which means they are integrated and can be made stationary by differencing the time series. To check the stationarity of the number of blazes and resin yield, Augmented Dickey Fuller test was used. The results indicated that data was not approaching stationarity even after taking third difference. So, the prerequisite condition of ARIMA model is that the data should be stationary and if the time series data does not contain trend and seasonal components, Single Exponential Smoothing model was used. The Single Exponential Smoothing model was found to be best fit for the prediction of number of blazes and resin yield as per the high value of , low value of MAPE and Normalized BIC.

This study was investigates the effects of row ratio and planting methods on the cultivation of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and mentha (Mentha arvensis L.). Mentha is also called Japanese mint, it is an important essential oil-bearing plant of the family Lamiaceae. Essential oil obtained from the leaves used in aromatherapy, flavour, and pharmaceutical industries. Hence, a field experiment was conducted during 2016-17 at the Soil Conservation and Water Management Farm to investigate the response of mentha when intercropped with wheat under various row ratios and planting methods. The trial was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications keeping one variety of Mentha ‘Shivalik’& Wheat ‘Halna’. The experiment consisting of nine treatments are T1:Sole Mentha direct sowing (50 cm apart), T2:sole mentha transplanting (50 cm apart), T3:sole wheat (25 cm apart), T4:wheat+mentha (1:1), T5:wheat+mentha (1:1), T6:wheat+mentha (2:2), T7:wheat+mentha (2:2), T8:wheat paired+mentha (2:3), T9: wheat paired+mentha (2:3). The results showed that the highest number of leaves per plant (457 at maturity) and number of branches per plant (80.97 at 90 DAS) were observed in Wheat Paired+Mentha (T9). The sole wheat (T3) exhibited the maximum number of tillers per plant in wheat (6.20). wheat+mentha (T4) had the highest yield attributes for wheat. The higher herbage yield of mentha (177 q/ha) was found in wheat+mentha (T7). Sole Mentha direct sowing (T1) gave the highest oil content (0.85%) and oil yield (163.35 l/ha) of mentha. The wheat paired+mentha (T8) recorded the highest equivalent oil yield (189.97 l/ha) and land equivalent ratio (1.50). However, sole wheat (T3) yielded the maximum grain yield (39.80 q/ha), straw yield (74.52 q/ha), and harvesting index (38.95%).

Importance

Patients with mesothelioma often have next-generation sequencing (NGS) of their tumor performed; tumor-only NGS may incidentally identify germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants despite not being designed for this purpose. It is unknown how frequently patients with mesothelioma have germline P/LP variants incidentally detected via tumor-only NGS.

Objective

To determine the prevalence of incidental germline P/LP variants detected via tumor-only NGS of mesothelioma.

Design, Setting, and Participants

A series of 161 unrelated patients with mesothelioma from a high-volume mesothelioma program had tumor-only and germline NGS performed during April 2016 to October 2021. Follow-up ranged from 18 months to 7 years. Tumor and germline assays were compared to determine which P/LP variants identified via tumor-only NGS were of germline origin. Data were analyzed from January to March 2023.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The proportion of patients with mesothelioma who had P/LP germline variants incidentally detected via tumor-only NGS.

Results

Of 161 patients with mesothelioma, 105 were male (65%), the mean (SD) age was 64.7 (11.2) years, and 156 patients (97%) self-identified as non-Hispanic White. Most (126 patients [78%]) had at least 1 potentially incidental P/LP germline variant. The positive predictive value of a potentially incidental germline P/LP variant on tumor-only NGS was 20%. Overall, 26 patients (16%) carried a P/LP germline variant. Germline P/LP variants were identified in ATM, ATR, BAP1, CHEK2, DDX41, FANCM, HAX1, MRE11A, MSH6, MUTYH, NF1, SAMD9L, and TMEM127.

Conclusions and Relevance

In this case series of 161 patients with mesothelioma, 16% had confirmed germline P/LP variants. Given the implications of a hereditary cancer syndrome diagnosis for preventive care and familial counseling, clinical approaches for addressing incidental P/LP germline variants in tumor-only NGS are needed. Tumor-only sequencing should not replace dedicated germline testing. Universal germline testing is likely needed for patients with mesothelioma.

Importance

During the COVID-19 pandemic, health care workers (HCWs) reported a significant decline in their mental health. One potential health behavior intervention that has been shown to be effective for improving mental health is exercise, which may be facilitated by taking advantage of mobile application (app) technologies.

Objective

To determine the extent to which a 12-week app-based exercise intervention can reduce depressive symptoms, burnout, and absenteeism in HCWs, compared with a wait list control condition.

Design, Setting, and Participants

A 2-group randomized clinical trial was conducted, with participants screened from April 6 to July 4, 2022. Participants were recruited from an urban health care organization in British Columbia, Canada. Participants completed measures before randomization and every 2 weeks thereafter.

Interventions

Exercise condition participants were asked to complete four 20-minute sessions per week using a suite of body weight interval training, yoga, barre, and running apps. Wait-listed control participants received the apps at the end of the trial.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome consisted of the between-group difference in depressive symptoms measured with the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. The secondary outcomes corresponded to 3 subfacets of burnout (cynicism, emotional exhaustion, and professional efficacy) and absenteeism. Intention-to-treat analyses were completed with multilevel structural equation modeling, and Feingold effect sizes (ES) were estimated every 2 weeks.

Results

A total of 288 participants (mean [SD] age, 41.0 [10.8] years; 246 [85.4%] women) were randomized to either exercise (n = 142) or wait list control (n = 146) conditions. Results revealed that ESs for depressive symptoms were in the small to medium range by trial’s end (week 12, −0.41 [95% CI, −0.69 to −0.13]). Significant and consistent treatment effects were revealed for 2 facets of burnout, namely cynicism (week 12 ES, −0.33 [95% CI, −0.53 to −0.13]) and emotional exhaustion (week 12 ES, −0.39 [95% CI, −0.64 to −0.14]), as well as absenteeism (r = 0.15 [95% CI, 0.03-0.26]). Adherence to the 80 minutes per week of exercise decreased from 78 (54.9%) to 33 (23.2%) participants between weeks 2 and 12.

Conclusions and Relevance

Although exercise was able to reduce depressive symptoms among HCWs, adherence was low toward the end of the trial. Optimizing adherence to exercise programming represents an important challenge to help maintain improvements in mental health among HCWs.
