El ajedrez en el Perú
Authors: Pinzón Sánchez Felipe
Published: June 2023

El ajedrez en el Perú, si bien es la memoria de lo que aconteció con el deporte ciencia en el Perú durante los años 1939–1986, funciona también como la crónica viva del ajedrez nacional, sus protagonistas, sus altibajos, victorias y derrotas, un relato apasionado de quien vivió y vive para el juego ciencia. Así, el maestro Pinzón cuenta en vívido recuerdo, entre otras muchas experiencias, las olimpiadas de Buenos Aires en 1939, Dubrovnik en 1950 y Tel Aviv en 1964; a su vez, relata precisa y entretenidamente las vicisitudes de los campeonatos y los contextos históricos en los que estos se enmarcaron. Sumamente interesante resulta que en cada capítulo de esta historia de nuestro ajedrez se intercalan tácticas, estrategias y juegos de reconocidos ajedrecistas a lo largo de sus partidas en distintas épocas, evocadas, registradas y transcritas por Pinzón. De igual manera, cabe mencionar la inclusión de una lista de figuras del tablero nacional, con historias de vida completas, características de juego y reproducciones de partidas en cada estilo. Por cierto, la lista concluye con la figura del maestro Julio Granda Zúñiga. Finalmente, Pinzón hace un recuento de los torneos internacionales posteriores, y genera una serie de planteamientos en torno al futuro del deporte ciencia. En líneas generales, el maestro tiene plena conciencia de que aún quedan jaques que dar, y que la vida, por sobre todo, es la más compleja y la más feroz de las partidas, un tablero, sin embargo, que ha enfrentado con convicción y alegría.
Adaptation Strategy for Home-Based Batik Enterprise Space in Arab Village Sugihwaras Pekalongan
Authors: Indraswara Mohammad Sahid , Suprapti Atiek , Sardjono Agung Budi , Senjana Suci , Pribadi Septana Bagus
Published: June 2023

Changes in the pattern of batik trade in Sugihwaras Arab Village encourage the community to adapt by utilising the space in their homes to become Home Based Enterprises (HBEs) of batik space. HBEs batik space is a characteristic of Sugihwaras Arab Village as a batik trading area. The people of Arab Village have adapted by implementing the "hijab concept" to maintain privacy between domestic activities and the batik business. The application of the "hijab concept" is something unique to study because the "hijab concept" is usually only applied to Muslim women's clothing. Based on this phenomenon, researchers are interested in examining how Hijab is used as an adaptation strategy in a batik Home Based Enterprises space. This study examines the "hijab concept" as an adaptation strategy in the batik business space. The research method uses qualitative-descriptive so that researchers can describe phenomena and information on objects in detail. This research aims to find the implementation of the "hijab concept" as a space adaptation strategy to separate the domestic space and the Home-Based Enterprises. The importance of the study is a cause of the increasing role of women in running a household-based business, so an adaptation strategy is needed by separating the domestic space and the business space. The novelty of this study is the formation of layers of "hijab" in the Batik Home-Based Enterprises space in Arab Village Sugihwaras Pekalongan.

Authors: Lukman Aldyfra Luhulima , Wirakusumah Indri Astrina , Sahid Sahid , Gunawan Edward Vinsensius
Published: June 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused drastic changes in everyday life in Indonesia, including Muslim religious activities facilitated by mosques. A mosque is intended to accommodate all worshipping activities that can provide benefits not only for congregants performing activities within, but also for communities and the environment around the mosque. One thing that remains constant in terms of the main functions of mosques is the accommodation of praying (salat) activities. In the times of Covid-19 pandemic, the implementation of rules concerning compulsory congregational prayers should be adjusted according to health protocols to minimize the spread of the coronavirus, especially the parts related to interpersonal space between individuals. This study intends to capture the dynamics of perception regarding interpersonal spaces according to congregants performing congregational prayers in the mosque. This study applies behavior mapping and questionnaire to collect data concerning the dynamics of perception regarding interpersonal spaces from Salman Mosque in Bandung. This study identifies the difference, in terms of congregational prayers, between how congregants perceive their interpersonal space differs from how they apply interpersonal distance. The difference is mostly influenced by self-interpretation concerning religious and/or government rules rather than total compliance to religious leaders and/or government instructions.
The Sense of Unity in the Jameh Mosque of Varamin: A Geometric Analysis
Authors: Ahsani Majid , Ismail Sumarni Binti , Fallah Siyamak Nayyeri , Al-Ameen Ali
Published: June 2023

The Jameh Mosque of Varamin is one of the few structures manifesting a transformation from Iranian architecture toward Iranian-Islamic architecture. The study presented here tries to deal with some of the geometric principles implemented by Iranian architects to express the concept of unity. The research decodes the sacred architectural elements and illustrates the ideas used to design the Jameh Mosque of Varamin from different aspects. In the first step, geometric principles such as dynamic rectangles, the golden ratio, and the lute of Pythagoras have been discussed. In the second step, the mentioned geometric principles are adapted to the architectural documents of the building. In addition, the general form of the building and the location of the dome are determined, and the hierarchy beginning from the Mosque's entrance to the dome has been analyzed. The results show that the architects tried to induce unity and monotheism through sacred geometry in a predetermined hierarchy. Also, Findings indicate that the Jameh Mosque of Varamin can be considered the intersection of Iranian architectural ideals adapted and integrated with Islamic principles.
The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Case in News Media: A Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Harper Elizabeth I. , Gibbons Daniel , Bates Elizabeth A.
Published: June 2023

This article presents a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case in news media. The aim of the current research is to allow for an in-depth analysis of how a range of news media outlets used discourse to frame intimate partner violence (IPV) in modern news media. A synthesis of previous literature revealed methodological limitations and a potential research bias in the existing body of research addressing news media discourse regarding IPV. The current study utilized a sample of 12 articles from three news media outlets of distinct political orientations that were analyzed following guidelines on maintaining quality in CDA. Two discursive strategies are presented in this article: (a) predication and argumentation; (b) the construction of ingroups and outgroups. This article argues that these strategies were used to discredit the experience of Depp and create perceived ingroups and outgroups throughout the discourse. It is also noted that this sample of articles only highlighted instances of physical violence. Future research should investigate the effect this representation of IPV may have on consumers of news media, as societal expectations may inform help seeking.
Relationship Between Oral Health, Quality of Life, and Comprehensive Health Literacy in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Authors: Matsuo Rika , Fujita Kimie , Yakushiji Kanako , Gondo Tae , Tanaka Rumi , Nagai Atsushi
Published: June 2023

Background and purpose:Oral health affects systemic health and the importance of maintaining good oral health is acknowledged. The high prevalence of oral diseases is associated with low health literacy (HL). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether comprehensive HL in community-dwelling older adults is associated with objective oral hygiene and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).Methods:Participants aged ≥65 years completed a self-administered questionnaire. On the same day, data collected with the Oral Health Assessment Tool were used to assess participants’ objective oral status. The questionnaire included the General Oral Health Assessment Index to measure OHRQoL and the short version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire to assess comprehensive HL. Data were analyzed by univariate and multiple logistic regression.Results:In total, 145 people consented to participate in this study, of whom 118 (81.4%) responded effectively. Of the 118 participants, 18% recorded a rating of “unhealthy” for oral cleanliness in objective oral hygiene. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified comprehensive HL as a related factor for both oral cleanliness and OHRQoL (odds ratio = 5.00 and 3.33,p< 0.01 andp< 0.05, respectively).Implications for Practice:These findings indicate that comprehensive HL changes clinical outcomes. Because older adults often have comorbidities as well as oral health problems, it is important for nurses to assess HL during follow-up for comorbidities and take the opportunity to provide personalized oral health guidance and improve OHRQoL.
Nuevos testimonios de “Las siete bastardas de Apolo” de Rubén Darío
Authors: Nájera Ramírez Karla Gabriela
Published: June 2023

Este trabajo presenta y analiza dos nuevos testimonios del relato “Las siete bastardas de Apolo” de Rubén Darío, con los cuales se pretende restituir el texto a una versión más confiable que las que han llegado a nuestros días a través de Cuentos completos (1950) de Ernesto Mejía Sánchez y Obras completas (1955) de Afrodisio Aguado. Para ello, en un primer momento, se recupera el estudio de Raymond Skyrme a propósito de los testimonios de El Cubano Libre (1903), El árbol del rey David (1921) y Primeros cuentos (1924), en el cual advierte que las versiones de 1921 y 1924 no se apegan al que se consideraba el primer testimonio de este texto; después, se muestra el testimonio de la revista venezolana El Cojo Ilustrado (1902) y se señalan las variantes que hay respecto del de 1903; posteriormente, se ofrece el testimonio que apareció en la publicación porteña La Revista Moderna (1897), que es el más remoto del que se tiene noticia hasta ahora, y se contrasta con aquellos que se publicaron mientras Darío vivía; finalmente, se presenta una transcripción de “Las siete bastardas de Apolo” libre de los errores que se han replicado durante más de cien años.
Ramón López Velarde: una historia editorial desafortunada
Authors: Mata Carlos Ulises
Published: June 2023

Se presenta una revisión del proceso de configuración editorial de la obra de Ramón López Velarde entre sus años finales de vida y el medio siglo posterior a su muerte, con el fin de señalar sus múltiples accidentes, inconsistencias y errores, los cuales persisten en las ediciones vigentes consideradas como confiables. Aunque la revisión se centra en los seis libros que reúnen más de dos terceras partes de su obra escrita (dos editados bajo su cuidado y aun así deficientes; dos hechos tomando en cuenta algunas indicaciones suyas, pero de dudosa autoridad, y dos por entero realizados fuera de su voluntad, sujetos a criterios discutibles), se hace notar cómo las carencias editoriales afectan a la integridad de su legado.
La naturaleza y la formación de nombres sacros en el Ṛg Veda: algunas notas sobre los saberes ecológicos tradicionales de la India antigua en retrospectiva
Authors: Hernández Quiroz Anselmo
Published: June 2023

Investigo un aspecto de la evolución de imágenes simbólicas en la tradición de la India antigua mediante el estudio de nombres sacros que refieren objetos y fenómenos naturales en el Ṛg Veda y otros textos sánscritos. La investigación se apoya en teorías y métodos de la hermenéutica, la lingüística y los estudios sobre la India. La relevancia estriba en que al investigar un aspecto del complejo kosmos-corpus-praxis de la tradición de la India antigua centradoen la naturaleza y el nombrar de los dioses, puede comprenderse el modo como se articularon algunas creencias, conocimientos y prácticas que el pueblo de la India ha desarrollado en su proceso de apropiación del mundo natural, promoviendo con ello un diálogo entre los saberes tradicionales y el conocimiento moderno.
Humanitarian expertise in medical education
Authors:   Volgograd State Medical University, Sedova Natalia N.
Published: June 2023

The current situation in higher medical education is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty. This is expressed inthe trend of permanent revision of the educational load. So, in the late 90s, the subordination was abolished, most recently the higher medical school lost its internship, and now all the subjects studied are divided into core and non-core, and the latter are undergoing constant reductions in teaching hours. The humanities are especially affected, including the basis of the foundations of medical activi-ty–bioethics. It seems that students are given professional knowledge, but they are not shown how to apply it, guided by the principles of humanism. In this regard, it is necessary to turn to the latest state documents that determine the direction of the moral training of young professionals and, above all, future doctors. Their analysis shows that the state is interested not only in training top-notch spe-cialists, but in professionals morally oriented towards kindness, compassion and understanding.
Transitioning to Individual Learning Paths in the Opinions of Students and Teachers: the Case of the University of Tyumen
Authors: Gavrilyuk Tatyana , Pogodaeva Taisia
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to measure and evaluate the application of personalized learning technology based on the system of individual educational paths at the University of Tyumen. In order to collect and analyze the data, the strategy of mix-methods was applied, which allows both for identifying the most common trends in the opinions of the subjects of educational space, and for obtaining detailed interpretations of the ongoing changes. The purpose of the study is to identify the opinions held by the key subjects of education when it comes to educational activity content and technologies, the benefits and risks of individual learning paths and the traditional way of teaching. Interviews with teachers demonstrate that in assessing the positive aspects of the transition to individual learning paths, such aspects have been taken note of as the possibility of focusing on one’s own interests, increased motivation and desire for professional development in a competitive environment, as well as simplification of reporting as a result of digitization. What teachers are apprehensive about is a decline in the fundamental nature of training and the de-professionalization of students, the collapse of stable social ties and identities of teachers, subpar living conditions due to continuous spatial mobility, and uncertainty when it comes to workload. The study showed that a fifth of students are not satisfied with the learning outcomes under new conditions and experience difficulty adapting in mixed groups with other students of different specialties. The variability and individualization of education is not yet a priority for students enrolled in traditional programs. Students pursuing individual study paths do not realize the many advantages the new system provides when it comes to forming the personal qualities necessary for successful selfrealization, due to them lacking the opportunity to compare their form of education to what is considered traditional.

Published: June 2023

Mucormycosis is a rare, rapidly spreading, fulminant, opportunistic infection that is caused by a group of filamentous molds. During the second wave of COVID-19 India reported most of the cases of mucormycosis which is termed as COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM). Aim: The purpose of this study is to describe and understand the clinical and radiographic findings related to COVID-19 associated rhinomaxillary mucormycosis. Methods: In this observational study 76 individuals with proven rhinomaxillary mucormycosis were included. The demographic profile, predisposing factors, anatomic structures involved, oral manifestations, radiographic findings management, and 90-day mortality were recorded and analyzed. Results: Among 76 individuals with COVID-19-associated rhinomaxillary mucormycosis diabetes mellitus was present in 93.42% of cases. Almost all patients received corticosteroids during COVID-19 treatment. The maxilla was most commonly involved in around 98.6% of cases. Interestingly 1 case involving the mandible was noted and the maxillary sinus was the most commonly involved. Mortality occurred in 1.31% (n=1) of cases. Conclusion: Diabetes was the most common predisposing factor. Administration of corticosteroids was evident. A considerable number of patients developed diabetes during the treatment of COVID-19. Early signs and oral manifestations of rhinomaxillary mucormycosis play a pivotal role in the early diagnosis and prompt treatment to reduce mortality and morbidity in COVID-19 associatedrhinomaxillary mucormycosis patients.

Variantes do silêncio na arte contemporânea
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Zacarias Gabriel Ferreira
Published: June 2023

Há sem dúvida diversas formas de se pensar o silêncio na arte. Ele pode ser compreendido como aquilo que não é dito, porque não precisa ser dito, permanece como subentendido; ou pode ser aquilo que não pode ser dito, que é interdito, por inflexão de uma lei. A interdição pode ser fruto da ingerência de uma autoridade externa ao campo artístico.
Arte da fuga: as guerras, as dores e os traumas gerados no corpo

Published: June 2023

Com a efervescência do Manifesto Futurista Italiano (1909), de Marinetti em Paris, vários artistas e poetas em seus guetos buscaram romper através da leitura de manifestos/poesias com as tradições europeias da pintura, escultura e representação. Obtendo experimentações das vanguardas europeias do século 20, o corpo ganha um espaço e passa a ser trabalhado no hapenning, na arte corporal chegando na performance.
O silêncio sobre a circuncisão: o corpo dos judeus na Arte Renascentista
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Rebetez Inácio Schiller Bittencourt
Published: June 2023

Se a igreja católica celebrou a circuncisão de Jesus como o início da salvação da humanidade, os artistas do Renascimento nunca evidenciaram os efeitos desse acontecimento. Da mesma forma, outras personagens judaicas do Antigo e do Novo Testamento, como Isaac, David e João Batista, foram sempre representados na Renascença com prepúcio, de maneira contrária, portanto, à própria narrativa bíblica.

Thucydides and Hobbes on Epidemics and Politics:
Authors: Ribarević Luka
Published: June 2023

Thomas Hobbes’s England was deeply troubled by the successive plague visitations‎ regularly occurring in the late 16th and 17th centuries. The catastrophic‎ outbreak in 1625 found Hobbes working on the first ever direct translation of‎ Thucydides’ History from Greek to English. This fact allows for the supposition ‎that Hobbes paid special attention to Thucydides’ masterful account of the plague at Athens and its social and political consequences. These circumstances‎ authorise the here proposed enquiry into the relation between Hobbes’s‎ understanding of the state of nature in Leviathan and the epidemics,‎ mediated by his experience of the plague and the translation of the plague narrative ‎in Thucydides’ History.‎
Feasibility of Using Gag Proteins to Reawaken Dormant HIV Infection Based on Bioinformatics Analysis
Authors: Chen S.
Published: June 2023

The technique of using drugs to target latent virus reservoirs has been introduced to reawaken dormant viruses such that the immune system can attack them, but further tests have shown this method fails. In this study, the author attempted to analyze whether drugs can be used to reawaken dormant virus reservoirs and proposed the use of viral proteins to activate the sleeping virus. The results show that the amino acid sequence ARG of Gag proteins of HTLV-1, HTLV-2, STLV-1 and STLV-2 match their primer binding site GGGGGCTCG in the 3'-to-5' direction and that the amino acid sequence SPR of Gag proteins of HIV-1, HIV-2, SIV and FIV match their primer binding site GGCGCCCGA in the 3'-to-5' direction. The author hence believes that the latency-reversing drugs are involved in the process of the transcription of cancer genes, and because the virus genome they reawaken contains the same NF-κB binding sites, the drugs indirectly reawaken dormant retrovirus infection. Related studies showed that the genomic Gag/Gag-Pol complex recruits the LysRS/tRNA complex, the selective packaging of the tRNA primer requires HIV-1 Gag and Gag-Pol, and an interaction between LysRS and Gag is observed in vitro. In contrast, Gag proteins can more reliably be used to directly reawaken dormant HIV infection, which recruits human uncharged tRNA to serve as the reverse transcription primer.

Long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may occur after experiencing acute COVID-19 infec-tion with many effects on patients´ kidneys. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and labora-tory aspects of kidney function in individuals with long COVID in the Amazon region of Brazil. This cross-sectional study selected participants from a ‘long COVID’ clinical care program. Clini-cal data and baseline demographics were obtained, and blood samples were collected to quantify kidney-related markers. Patients were evaluated after COVID-19 infection at several time points as follows: 0–3 months, 3–6 months, 6–12 months, and 12 months. Altogether, 246 patients were selected for this study, and only 79 were hospitalised (9 in the intensive care unit because of COVID-19. Of the patients, 38 were diagnosed with hypertension after COVID-19, 52 cases had to have their medications adjusted, and 83 patients presented with kidney function decline. The older age group and individuals with glycaemic alterations presented with a higher risk of devel-oping kidney dysfunction. Therefore, health professionals should monitor long-term kidney mark-ers in long COVID.

Published: June 2023

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic abruptly disrupted global healthcare systems, necessitating rapid adaptations. This study evaluates the impact on health systems and services in the aftermath of the first wave in the Indian context. It analyses the disruptions, adaptive measures, and changes made, as well as the challenges faced by healthcare providers and seekers. Valuable insights from this study will enhance the resilience and preparedness of healthcare systems for future challenges. Methods: The eligible studies included primary studies conducted in the Indian context that explore the impact of COVID-19 on health services provision, utilisation, and the well-being of healthcare providers and seekers. Electronic searches were conducted in six databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health, CINAHL, and the WHO database on COVID-19. The results were analysed using detailed narrative synthesis. Results: The review includes 38 articles, incorporating a total of 22,502 subjects. There has been a substantial impact on health service provision, particularly in outpatient departments (OPD) (n=19) and elective services (n=16), while emergency services continued at sub-optimal levels (n=20). Various adaptations and changes were implemented in precautionary measures, protocols, staff allocation and training, usage of personal protective equipment (PPE), preoperative, operative, and postoperative measures, as well as physical infrastructure and resources. Depression and stress (n=14), fear of contracting the infection (n=6), stigmatisation (n=5), and financial repercussions (n=5) significantly affected the mental health of healthcare providers, and healthcare seekers also faced significant challenges (n=11). Conclusion: The study reveals COVID-19's substantial impact on health services. The healthcare system responded by quickly adjusting staff management, resource allocation, and infection prevention measures. The study also highlights the mental health challenges faced by healthcare providers and the concerns of healthcare seekers regarding delays and suboptimal care. Looking ahead, the findings underscore the importance of preparedness for future pandemics, including improved healthcare infrastructure, resource optimisation, and comprehensive protocols. Lessons learned from COVID-19 should inform strategies to mitigate disruptions and ensure the well-being of healthcare providers and seekers in future outbreaks.

Published: June 2023

The research paper comprehensively and consistently addresses all relevant theoretical areas related to the topic and includes an extensive empirical analysis of the absorption of EU funds and their impact on the sustainable development of Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, and Poland. The analysis aims to investigate the efficiency of the absorption of funds from the EU, the impact of these funds on regional development of countries, as well as the reasons for such impacts. The "Regional Development Model Based on EU Funds" was tested with the aim of applying the model to the Republic of Croatia, countries in the region, and other European countries to achieve a higher level of absorption of financial resources from the available EU funds. Data for the empirical analysis were collected using a highly structured survey questionnaire on a sample of 244 respondents involved in the preparation and implementation of EU-funded projects. The contribution of economic science in theoretical terms arises from the development of scientific knowledge and ideas about the importance of increasing the number of development projects that will increase the absorption of funds from the European Union, thereby increasing economic activities in Croatia and the region. The expected contribution of economic science in the applied sense is based on the formulation of the "Regional Development Model Based on EU Funds," which is based on the application of knowledge, good practices, and stakeholder experiences, considering relevant indicators from available sources. The greatest contribution is demonstrated through testing the "Regional Development Model Based on EU Funds," which is applicable to the Republic of Croatia, countries in the region, and other European countries over a longer period. Finally, research of the impact of EU funds on the regional development of recipient countries is considerably less represented and very modest, only in the "upswing" of systematic scientific research. The research aims to fill the gaps in research and encourage thinking of key stakeholders responsible for regional development, who should eventually realize the importance of defining a regional policy aimed at EU funds as a key to regional development and reducing regional disparities within countries.

Fusion of Identification Information from ESM Sensors and Radars Using Dezert-Smarandache Theory Rules
Authors: Pietkiewicz Tadeusz
Published: June 2023

This paper presents a method of fusion of identification (attribute) information provided by two types of sensors: combined primary and secondary (IFF) surveillance radars and ESM (Electronic Support Measures). In the first section, the basic taxonomy of attribute identification is adopted in accordance with the standards of STANAG 1241 ed. 5 and STANAG 1241 ed. 6 (draft). These standards provide the following basic values of the attribute identifications: FRIEND, HOSTILE, NEUTRAL, UNKNOWN and additional values: ASSUMED FRIEND and SUSPECT. The basis of theoretical considerations is Dezert-Smarandache theory (DSmT) of inference. The paper presents and practically uses for combining identification information from different ESM sensors and radars six information fusion rules proposed by DSmT - the Proportional Conflict Redistribution rules (PCR1, PCR2, PCR3, PCR4, PCR5 and PCR6). In the paper, rules of determining attribute information by ESM sensor equipped with the data base of radar emitters are presented. It was proposed that each signal vector sent by the ESM sensor contained an extension specifying a randomized identification declaration (hypothesis) - basic belief assignment (BBA). The paper also presents a model for determining the basic belief assignment for a combined primary and secondary radar. Results of the PCR rules of sensor information combining for different scenarios of radio-electronic situation (deterministic and Monte Carlo) are presented in the final part of the paper. They confirm the legitimacy of the use of Dezert-Smarandache theory into information fusion for primary radars, secondary radars and ESM sensors.

In the trend of transforming existing systems and services into non-face-to-face models, the concert industry is also showing movements toward transitioning to virtual formats. Physical concerts in the real world require venues that can accommodate hundreds to tens of thousands of spectators, but non-face-to-face methods that can accommodate large audiences face various limitations. Moreover, to elevate the satisfaction level of virtual concert attendees to that of real-world concerts, it's important to implement interaction between performers and audiences. Modern metaverse platforms apply cutting-edge network technologies to accommodate numerous users within a single channel. Many researchers are adopting network technologies such as SDN (Software Defined Networking) and CDN (Content Delivery Network) to set up a virtual concert that can accommodate large audiences. In this paper, we propose a network framework to be designed for the composition of virtual concerts. In particular, we separate a channel dedicated to interaction in order to provide an immersive experience of exchanging interactions between performers and audiences. As massive audiences transmitting interaction data to the performer in a 1:N format can lead to problems with acceptance and latency, this study introduces a concept of a channel form called 'Zone' and proposes an interaction data channel network framework that does not compromise immersion. The proposed framework supports tasks for effectively transmitting interaction data using network technologies for metaverse platforms like XDN and clustering algorithms like fuzzy c-means. We also suggest a CDN-based architecture that can ensure low latency for performers to transmit interaction data to the audience.

(1) Background: This case presents a rare and challenging clinical scenario involving a 50-year-old female patient diagnosed with Inflammatory Carcinoma, a particularly aggressive and rapidly growing form of breast cancer. The disease is characterized by heat, redness, swelling and noticeable changes in the breast's skin texture, resembling the skin of an orange (peau d'orange). This case is important because it contributes to the limited clinical literature on such aggressive forms of breast cancer.; (2) Methods: The multidisciplinary approach was employed. Diagnostic procedures such as imaging tests, biopsy, and histopathological examination were performed to confirm the diagnosis of Inflammatory Carcinoma and assess the extent of the disease. The presence of the HER2 protein on the tumor cells supported the selection of a combination therapy involving systemic chemotherapy and targeted biological therapy.; (3) Results: The patient responded positively to the combination therapy consisting of systemic chemotherapy and targeted biological therapy. The aggressive nature of Inflammatory Carcinoma, characterized by rapid growth and distinct skin changes, was effectively addressed. The presence of the HER2 protein on the tumor cells indicated the potential efficacy of the combination therapy in aggressive forms of breast cancer.; (4) Conclusions: This case highlights the critical importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex cases of breast cancer, especially rare and aggressive subtypes like Inflammatory Carcinoma. The positive response of the patient to the combination therapy involving systemic chemotherapy and targeted biological therapy demonstrates the potential for favorable outcomes in aggressive disease presentations.

Published: June 2023

Aim: This study aimed to carrying out a prospective survey on socio-demographics and lifestyle factors among a population of Caribbean immigrants living in the US. Materials and Methods: The data were processed and analysed using the SPSS software and Excel. Crosstabulations were done. The Chi-square test was use to evaluate different hypotheses in this study. Statistical significance was defined as p<0.05.Results: Gender was found statistically significant difference with the country of birth of the Caribbean immigrants (p=0.038), and in the cleanness of their neighbourhoods (p=0.045). There were differences in occupations between males and females (p=0.001). Males were less unemployed than females (p=0.011). Gender also showed statistically significant difference in how easy the immigrants balanced their work and personal life (p=0.044). Age groups depicted differences in the physical health of the immigrants (p=0.001). The use of alcohol and tobacco was not an important risk factor among participants (p=0.529).Conclusions: These facts suggest that socio-demographics among a population of Caribbean immigrants were significantly different among genders. However the use of tobacco and alcohol showed not significant differences among the immigrants.
