Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Chronic neck pain is one of the main reasons for visiting a healthcare professional. In recent years, it has been shown that upper cervical restriction may be a factor involved in neck pain. OBJECTIVE: To compare the immediate effects of a real cervical mobilization technique versus a sham cervical mobilization technique in patients with chronic neck pain and upper cervical restriction. METHODS: This was a randomised, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. Twenty-eight patients with chronic neck pain were recruited and divided into two groups (14 = real cervical mobilization; 14 = sham mobilization). Both groups received a single 5-minute treatment session. Upper cervical range motion, flexion-rotation test, deep cervical activation and pressure pain threshold were measured. RESULTS: In the between-groups comparison, statistically significant differences were found in favour of the real cervical mobilization group in upper cervical extension (p= 0.003), more restricted side of flexion-rotation test (p< 0.001) and less restricted side of flexion-rotation test (p= 0.007) and in the pressure pain threshold of the right trapezius (p= 0.040) and right splenius (p= 0.049). No differences in deep muscle activation were obtained. CONCLUSION: The real cervical mobilization group generates improvements in upper cervical spine movement and pressure pain threshold of right trapezius and right splenius compared to the sham group in patients with chronic neck pain and upper cervical restriction.

Published: July 2022

Background:

Recent global meta-analyses show that 40% of dementia cases can be attributed to twelve modifiable risk factors.

Objective:

To investigate how health promotion strategies may differ in specific populations, this study estimated population attributable fractions (PAFs) of these risk factors for dementia in cognitively normal (CN) individuals and individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in United States and Greek cohorts.

Methods:

We re-analyzed data from the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Centre (NACC, n = 16,147, mean age 75.2±6.9 years, 59.0% female) and the Hellenic Longitudinal Investigation of Aging and Diet (HELIAD, n = 1,141, mean age 72.9±5.0 years, 58.0% female). PAFs for the total samples and CN and MCI subgroups were calculated based on hazard ratios for the risk of dementia and risk factor prevalence in NACC (9 risk factors) and HELIAD (10 risk factors).

Results:

In NACC, 2,630 participants developed MCI (25.1%) and 3,333 developed dementia (20.7%) during a mean follow-up of 4.9±3.5 years. Weighted overall PAFs were 19.4% in the total sample, 15.9% in the CN subgroup, and 3.3% in the MCI subgroup. In HELIAD, 131 participants developed MCI (11.2%) and 68 developed dementia (5.9%) during an average follow-up of 3.1±0.86 years. Weighted overall PAFs were 65.5% in the total sample, 65.8% in the CN subgroup and 64.6% in the MCI subgroup.

Conclusion:

Translation of global meta-analysis data on modifiable risk factors should be carefully carried out per population. The PAFs of risk factors differ substantially across populations, directing health policy making to tailored risk factor modification plans.

Published: July 2022

Background:

Previous studies of hippocampal function and volume related to episodic memory deficits in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) have produced mixed results including increased or decreased activity and volume. However, most of them have not included biomarkers, such as amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition which is the hallmark for early identification of the Alzheimer’s disease continuum.

Objective:

We investigated the role of Aβ deposition, functional hippocampal activity and structural volume in aMCI patients and healthy elderly controls (HC) using a new functional MRI (fMRI) ecological episodic memory task.

Methods:

Forty-six older adults were included, among them Aβ PET PIB positive (PIB+) aMCI (N = 17), Aβ PET PIB negative (PIB–) aMCI (N = 15), and HC (N = 14). Hippocampal volume and function were analyzed using Freesurfer v6.0 and FSL for news headlines episodic memory fMRI task, and logistic regression for group classification in conjunction with episodic memory task and traditional neuropsychological tests.

Results:

The aMCI PIB+ and PIB–patients showed significantly worse performance in relation to HC in most traditional neuropsychological tests and within group difference only on story recall and the ecological episodic memory fMRI task delayed recall. The classification model reached a significant accuracy (78%) and the classification pattern characterizing the PIB+ included decreased left hippocampal function and volume, increased right hippocampal function and volume, and worse episodic memory performance differing from PIB–which showed increased left hippocampus volume.

Conclusion:

The main findings showed differential neural correlates, hippocampal volume and function during episodic memory in aMCI patients with the presence of Aβ deposition.

Authors: Cerami Chiara , Perdixi Elena , Meli Claudia , Marcone Alessandra , Zamboni Michele , Iannaccone Sandro , Dodich Alessandra
Published: July 2022

Background:

The Frontal Behavioral Inventory (FBI) is a questionnaire designed to quantify behavioral changes in frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Literature showed heterogeneous FBI profiles in FTD versus Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with variable occurrence of positive and negative symptoms.

Objective:

In this study, we constructed a short FBI version (i.e., mini-FBI) with the aim to provide clinicians with a brief tool for the identification of early behavioral changes in behavioral variant of FTD (bvFTD), also facilitating the differential diagnosis with AD.

Methods:

40 bvFTD and 33 AD patients were enrolled. FBI items were selected based on internal consistency and exploratory factor analysis. Convergent validity of mini-FBI was also assessed. A behavioral index (i.e., B-index) representing the balance between positive and negative mini-FBI symptoms was computed in order to analyze its distribution in bvFTD through a cluster analysis and to compare performance among patient groups.

Results:

The final version of the mini-FBI included 12 items, showing a significant convergent validity with the Neuropsychiatric Inventory scores (rp = 0.61, p < 0.001). Cluster analysis split patients in four clusters. bvFTD were included in three different clusters characterized by prevalent positive symptoms, both positive and negative symptoms, or prevalent negative behavioral alterations, similar to a subset of AD patients. A fourth cluster included only AD patients showing no positive symptoms.

Conclusion:

The mini-FBI is a valuable easily administrable questionnaire able to early identify symptoms effectively contributing to the bvFTD behavioral syndrome, aiding clinician in diagnosis and management.
Bridging Integrator 1 (BIN1, rs6733839) and Sex Are Moderators of Vascular Health Predictions of Memory Aging Trajectories
Authors: Heal Mackenzie , McFall G. Peggy , Vergote David , Jhamandas Jack H. , Westaway David , Dixon Roger A.
Published: July 2022

Background:

A promising risk loci for sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Bridging Integrator 1 (BIN1), is thought to operate through the tau pathology pathway.

Objective:

We examine BIN1 risk for a moderating role with vascular health (pulse pressure; PP) and sex in predictions of episodic memory trajectories in asymptomatic aging adults.

Methods:

The sample included 623 participants (Baseline Mean age = 70.1; 66.8% female) covering a 44-year longitudinal band (53–97 years). With an established memory latent variable arrayed as individualized trajectories, we applied Mplus 8.5 to determine the best fitting longitudinal growth model. Main analyses were conducted in three sequential phases to investigate: 1) memory trajectory prediction by PP, 2) moderation by BIN1 genetic risk, and 3) stratification by sex.

Results:

We first confirmed that good vascular health (lower PP) was associated with higher memory level and shallower decline and males were more severely affected by worsening PP in both memory performance and longitudinal decline. Second, the PP prediction of memory trajectories was significant for BIN1 C/C and C/T carriers but not for persons with the highest AD risk (T/T homozygotes). Third, when further stratified by sex, the BIN1 moderation of memory prediction by PP was selective for females.

Conclusion:

We observed a novel interaction whereby BIN1 (linked with tauopathy in AD) and sex sequentially moderated a benchmark PP prediction of differential memory decline in asymptomatic aging. This multi-modal biomarker interaction approach, disaggregated by sex, can be an effective method for enhancing precision of AD genetic risk assessment.

Published: July 2022

The accelerator-driven thermal neutron source (TNS) at SARAF is under the advanced design stage, to provide an accelerator-based substitution to existing neutron imaging and diffraction utilities of the IRR1 aging research reactor. A challenging task of the system design is to provide a safe and maintainable coupling of 40 MeV deuteron beam and a 200 kW power liquid metal target with a compact light-water moderator and reflector assembly. The verification process of the mechanical design is performed through Monte-Carlo simulations over the detailed CAD models. We outline the method of verification of neutron production and safety requirements over the detailed system design and highlight the advantages of this approach.
Toward a new, collaborative global financing architecture for fragile, low, and middle-income countries’ data priorities
Authors: Fu Haishan , Hammer Craig
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has occurred against a sobering global backdrop: national data collection programs and the production of core economic statistics have long been under-funded (by national government as well as the international development community), and data gaps are still significant. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of NSOs and the urgent need to strengthen and modernize core data collection programs as the backbone of national data systems. As the severity of this problem and its damaging implications are becoming more salient, members of the international development and national statistics communities have joined forces in an effort to address it. A collective, high-level effort is now being mobilized by senior leadership of the World Bank and the United Nations, in close collaboration with the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, to join forces to increase global investments in fragile, low-and-middle-income countries’ data priorities and to better put data to work for green, resilient, inclusive development. Specifically, two new complementary funds have recently been launched by the World Bank and United Nations to support countries’ data systems, data capital, and risk analytics in a coordinated way: the World Bank-hosted Global Data Facility and the UN-hosted Complex Risk Analytics Fund (CRAF’d).
Toward to “Green Deal” Legal and Natural Aspects of the Development of Small Hydropower Plants - The Example of Poland
Authors: Marszelewski Michal , Piasecki Adam
Published: July 2022

The article contains a legal-environmental analysis covering the development and operational aspects of small hydropower plants (SHPs) in Poland. From legal perspective, the paper presents conditions that have to be met during the investment process. It was shown that such a process is highly formalized. The need to protect the water and the environment results in necessity to obtain various administration decisions like water permits or decision on environmental conditions. Second discussed law-related field is the support system. In Poland there are three categories of SHPs support system: green certificates, auction system and feed-in tariff (FIT) or feed-in premium (FIP) system. The last one is the most optimal for SHPs and significantly helps to make them profitable. Moving on to an environmental perspective, Polish topography is relatively unfavorable for SHPs because of water resources and significant part of flat lowlands. Taking into account that SHP may have a visible impact on ecosystems and – in most cases – are localized and managed by private entities, it is crucial to use the SHPs potential in Poland as effective as possible. Conducted analysis also shown the legal regulation should be changed to more friendly for SHPs operators.

Authors: Ijaz Syeda Tayyaba , Chughtai Sumayya
Published: July 2022

Economies are under serious pressure to sustain themselves due to globalization, focusing simply on economic growth and operational efficiency will not yield the desired sustainable financial and economic position for economies. Management of energy efficiency and reducing the energy dependence and intensity is the core objective for the economy and achievement of the above objective financial, economic, and environmental factors need to be studied. Economic wellbeing critically depends on the efficient use of energy and which type of governance mechanism is in place will also define the ways toward energy efficiency. A better understanding of the relationship will help the economies to fulfill their energy needs efficiently, realize developmental goals, and overcome environmental issues. This study examines the relationship between financial, economic, and environmental factors with energy efficiency, intensity, and dependency with moderating role of governance including institutional quality and governance index for belt and road initiative countries. The core objective of the study is to analyze which financial, economic, and environmental factors serve well in the management of energy efficiency, intensity, and dependence issues and how various dynamics of governance policies including market structure moderate the above-mentioned relationship. For this secondary data is used from world development indicators, market insiders, and Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) data. This research will help the researchers and practitioners to achieve long-term economic, financial, and environmental sustainability. The proposed model predicts that 0.44% change in Total Factor Energy Productivity measure of Energy Efficiency, 0.03% changes in Energy use/Purchasing Power Parity ratio measure of Energy Intensity, and 9.63% changes in Energy Reserves/Energy Production ratio measure of Energy Dependence. Results also reveal that environmental factors including Rural population, Urbanization, Co2 emission, energy use, and energy production will contribute most to achieving sustainable economic growth.

Rising External Debt and Diminishing Exports: Concurrent Constraints to Economic Progress in Nigeria
Authors: Ugbaka Malachy Ashywel , Abuh-Amasi Scholastica A. , Ndome Joseph Nsabe
Published: July 2022

The country's strong reliance on oil and gas exports exposes it to the considerable risk of global oil market instability, as external debt continues to rise as exports fall, more attention is being paid to the consequences of this trend. The major goal of this paper is to determine Nigeria's rising external debt and declining exports, using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, we investigated Nigeria's rising external debt and declining exports using annual time series data from 1986 to 2020. In the short run across the study period, the study reveals evidence of a negligible beneficial impact of both external debt and export on economic growth meaning that in the short run, both foreign debt and export have a negligible beneficial impact on economic growth, according to the estimates in Nigeria, in reality, in the long run, the impact is negative, with exports having a greater negative impact than foreign debt, as a result, the paper submits that Nigeria's economy is at a fork in the road, based on these findings, it is suggested that external borrowing be restricted until current debt stocks are repaid, that external loans be tied to specific projects to avoid inefficient fund allocation, that domestic capital markets be explored as an alternative to external borrowing, that more export diversification be undertaken to mitigate poor performance of primary commodity exports, and that commodity exchanges be established to attract more speculators, external borrowing should be limited until current debt stocks are serviced in order to achieve economic growth.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Anuchin Institute and Museum of Anthropology,Mokhovaya st., 11, Moscow, 125009, Russia, Medvedev Stanislav P.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The collection from the Palaeolithic site Grotte du Placard (Charente, France) are repre-sented at the Museum of Anthropology (Lomonosov Moscow State University). These artifacts were gath-ered by Arthur de Maret during his excavation campaigns of 1877-1888. In 1910 D.N. Anuchin bought this assemblage from m-me de Maret. After 150 years of exploration of the Grotte du Placard there were identi-fied 8 chrono-stratigraphic horizons attributed to the Mousterian, to the Middle and Upper Solutrean, to the Badegoulian, and to a good part of the Magdalenian. Materials and methods. The collection consists of 224 items. According to the data from the Scien-tific archive of the Museum of Anthropology they are divided into 4 units: the Mousterian, the Solutrean, the Magdalenian and the osseous industry (antler, bone, tooth and shell artifacts). Each unit’s inventory was studied using typological analysis. Results and discussion. The Mousterian unit is distinctive by the Mousterian points and the side-scrapers. The Solutrean unit is characterized by the shouldered points, the unifacial points and the thin end-scrapers on long blades. The Magdalenian unit is represented by scrapers. The chisel-like tools are typical for the Badegoulian. The osseous industry consists of some items specific for the Magdalenian (pierced baton and eyed needles) and for the Middle Magdalenian (double point and pierced phalanx). Conclusion. Current research affirmed the chrono-cultural characteristic of the artifact assemblages distinguished by D.N. Anuchin. The obtained information was added to the electronic database. This arti-cle’s timeliness consists of the osseous inventory publication, including antler and bone implements, per-sonal adornments and pieces of portable art.

Authors: Johan Suwinto
Published: July 2022

This data science examines a variety of data in order to aid humans in making complex decisions. This science aide’s management in making complex decisions. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, and algorithms all fall under the category. Data science is growing in popularity as a result of the increasing reliance on technology by businesses such as social media companies and financial technology companies. Financial technology companies create applications that allow for the collection of consumer information. This information is transformed into a set of decision-making management tools. This information was easily obtained prior to the Personal Data Protection (PDP) Act's enactment. This tool can assist management in becoming more efficient and effective in their operations. Additionally, this tool can be used to make complex management decisions, such as credit decisions for financial institutions and product marketing to consumers through appropriate advertising. The objective of this research is to examine use of data for business purposes after the enactment of the PDP Act.  This study employs a  descriptive and legal normative method. This research concludes that enacting the PDP Act will reduce the effectiveness of information processing. However, distinct information protection laws must be developed to improve consumer data protection. Additionally, public education about personal data protection needs to be strengthened. The PDP Act should regulate consumer protection issues and establish independent data protection institutions
Examining Victim Precipitation in Determining a Suspect (A Case Study of Marital Rape That Ended in Death)
Authors: Prakarsa Aliyth , Yulia Rena
Published: July 2022

Marital rape is part of the form of rape in domestic violence. Its limited characteristics in the family sphere and cultural construction make marital rape sometimes escapes the attention of victims and also the community. In Indonesia, marital rape is still considered as abnormally and impossible incident, it is considered as impossible act for a husband to rape his own wife or vice versa. In several cases had occurred in Indonesia, marital rape become a trigger for physical violence that led to murder (homicide). For example in the two cases of homicide has occurred in Serang City in 2021 and Cilegon 2019. In these two cases, marital rape occurred which led to murder or loss of life. This paper will examine women who are victims of marital rape who are designated as murder suspects, a case study in Serang City. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach and cases approach. The results of this study indicate that the determination of woman victims of marital rape as murder suspects in the perspective of victimology does not consider the perspective of the victim's role in the occurrence of a crime. There are two criminal acts happening simultaneously; marital rape and murder. First, the husband as the perpetrator of marital rape against his wife who later becomes a victim of murder due to self defense (the second case). Therefore, in the theory of victim precipitation, the victim plays a role in creating the crime it-self.  The causes of marital rape victims who later become perpetrators of murder must also be considered about. The role of the perpetrators of marital rape is active participation which then resulted in his death. The things that attend in this situation must and need to be considered by law enforcement officials, from the first thing when conducting an investigation. This will affect the next law enforcement process.

Reactualization of the Marriage Age Limit in Indonesia (in the Perspective of Maslahah Mursalah)
Authors: Mariani Mariani
Published: July 2022

Law is a structure that regulates the pattern of society to form a culture. The Islamic family culture in Indonesia is strongly influenced by the prevailing family law structure which includes marriage and divorce. This is regulated in the structural system of laws regarding marriage, namely Law No. 1 of 1974 as amended by Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Changes in the Minimum Age of Marriage for Women. Articles which for some people believe have not accommodated the interests of all parties and have not met the times, so that this Law is felt by some women activists to be discriminatory which tends to reap injustice. Among the articles that are considered controversial, namely the Minimum Age for Marriage. study on the actualization of Indonesian Marriage Age Limits uses a qualitative descriptive method by using a literature study, so that the findings are that Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage which was amended by Law No. 1 of 2019 especially related to Article 7 concerning the age limit is already in line with and accommodate the interests of citizens, In the Qur’an and Hadith there is no mention of age limits but mentions “baligh” and “able” as a benchmark in the permissibility of marriage, Jumhur scholars accept Maslahah Mursalah as one of the reasons in establishing sharia law, but in the application and placement of conditions they have different opinions

A comprehensive review of literature and online catalogues was conducted to present the diversity of locust and other pest grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) on postal stamps. Fifty-one stamps (1961-2019) from 29 countries in four continents representingten species are presented. Desert Locust, Red Locust and Migratory Locust are the true locust species depicted. Other seven pest grasshoppers were also recorded. African countries provide 80% of the stamps. Different elements present on the stamps such as life cycle, control methods for eradication, geographical correspondence and taxonomic issues are discussed
Estilos y virtudes epistémicas en la representación esquemática de un sistema de caracteres: un ensayo sobre el exocorion de Papilionoidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera)

Se ofrece un marco epistemológico al evaluar la cientificidad de las imágenes exocoriónicas de Llorente-Bousquets y cols., entendidas como representaciones esquemáticas de un sistema de caracteres morfológicos. Las imágenes se evalúan en la intersección de dos unidades de análisis: estilos y virtudes epistémicas. Se analizan según: i) tres estilos: quirografía, fotografía y microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB); ii) cuatro virtudes: Fidelidad con la Naturaleza (TtN), Objetividad Mecánica (MO), Objetividad Estructural (SO) y Juicio Entrenado (TJ). Se ubican dos subestilos de quirografía: descriptivo-realista y ‘esquema letrado’. Se interpreta al esquema como characteristica universalis, conceptografía o representación directa de conceptos morfológicos, de los que aporta conocimiento a priori.Se analiza y evalúa la cientificidad del proceso productivo de imágenes a través del modelo de virtudes epistémicas y se propone unaversión extendida del mismo (D&G+).

Social Role and Role Congruity Influences on Perceived Value of Women’s Leadership at Southwestern Research Universities
Authors: Jones Stephanie , Ryan Pal Patricia
Published: July 2022

This qualitative survey study, framed by social role and role congruity theories, explored the perceptions and experiences of 33 women faculty and academic administrators at doctoral-granting highest research-intensive universities located in the Southwestern region of the U.S. The purpose of the study was to expand on our understanding of how social role and role congruity theories can explain and further our understanding of how women are perceived to be valued as leaders in the higher education space, and how society supports this continued valuation. For purposes of this study, social value is explored through the operational processes of higher education organizations. Findings from this study show that the participants perceived that women’s credibility as leaders continues to be questioned, resulting in less perceived value; the accepted role of women as leaders in higher education continues to be influenced by greater society; society continues to perceive leaders should be men; and organizational practices continue to support systemic barrier to women’s leadership success. By understanding the perceptions and experiences of women regarding their perceptions of value as leaders in higher education, we can begin to address and eliminate systemic barriers to further better support their advancement into leadership roles.
IMAGE-BASED OIL PALM LEAVES DISEASE DETECTION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK

Published: July 2022

Over the years, numerous studies have been conducted on the integration of computer vision and machine learning in plant disease detection. However, these conventional machine learning methods often require the contour segmentation of the infected region from the entire leaf region and the manual extraction of different discriminative features before the classification models can be developed. In this study, deep learning models, specifically, the AlexNet convolutional neural network (CNN) and the combination of AlexNet and support vector machine (AlexNet-SVM), which overcome the limitation of handcrafting of feature representation were implemented for oil palm leaf disease identification. The images of healthy and infected leaf samples were collected, resized, and renamed before the model training. These images were directly used to fit the classification models, without the need for segmentation and feature extraction as in models, without the need for segmentation and feature extraction as in the conventional machine learning methods. The optimal architecture of AlexNet CNN and AlexNet-SVM models were then determined and subsequently applied for the oil palm leaf disease identification.Comparative studies showed that the overall performance of the AlexNet CNN model outperformed AlexNet-SVM-based classifier.
