Authors: Giovanni Martino , Mario Leporace , Francesco Greco , Rossella Quarta , Letizia Romano , Antonio Curcio , Alberto Polimeni
Published: August 2024

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) represents a significant cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patient populations with low-risk cardiovascular profiles and, therefore can be sometimes underdiagnosed. On the other hand, it often preserves the typical clinical presentation of ACS which makes coronary artery angiography (CAG) execution mandatory. A 62-year-old woman with a history of recurrent SCAD presented to the emergency department for a new episode of acute chest pain with troponin elevation. CAG revealed an ambiguous angiography image suggesting a sub-occlusive type 2 SCAD involving the distal segment of the left circumflex artery. The patient was managed conservatively due to the absence of ongoing ischemia or hemodynamic instability. At the seven-day follow-up, a computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) was performed to better assess SCAD and detect concomitant associated arteriopathies. Optimized medical therapy was prescribed at the discharge and at one-month follow-up, no recurrence of symptoms was referred.

Cuerpos masculinos en el cristianismo hegemónico. Algunas retóricas del poder cristiano desde una perspectiva de género, masculinidades y religión
Authors: Vega Dávila Enrique
Published: August 2024

La experiencia religiosa en Abya Yala se encuentra configurada por la colonialidad que, por un lado, quiere mantener al margen diferentes formas de espiritualidades considerándolas inferiores, falsas, idolátricas o ruta de acceso hacia una verdad no revelada (Marcos, Religión y género, 2008), que han sido voluntariamente ocultadas (Lugones, 2008) y, por otro lado, se sostiene en narrativas que presentan a los cuerpos masculinos como únicos capaces de transmitir lo divino, basado en el discurso de un dios hombre, blanco y heterosexual. En ambos casos, la subordinación ha jugado un rol importante en el desarrollo de sus doctrinas, las formas de presentarlas y su organización.

Published: August 2024

The objective of the study is to examine the influence of anxiety on students’ speaking performance. The researchers adopted a quantitative approach and employed a survey to collect data. This study involved fifty-three students from the second semester of the English Literature program at a private university in Jakarta. To collect data, the researchers used both standard tests and questionary. A speaking test was conducted to obtain speaking score and the Foreign Language Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionary was employed to get anxiety score then a regression analysis was conducted. The result shows that there is an effect of anxiety on speaking performance in EFL Large class. It is proved that the value of tcount > ttable (negative/invisible side) (2.987 > 2.008) or Sig. value < 0.05 (0.004 < 0.05) so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The effect is negative because the tcount is negative, meaning that if anxiety (X) increases, speaking skill (Y) will decrease. From the data that has been researched, it is found that a high level of anxiety will affect the ability to speak English. Collaboration among all stakeholders, especially teachers and students, is required to overcome anxiety and enhance their communication skills.

Large Language Models(LLM) for Automating 20 Questions Game
Authors: KUMAR CRS
Published: August 2024

The 20 Questions game, a classical problem in artificial intelligence and natural language processing, involves one player thinking of an object while the other player asks yes/no questions to guess the object within 20 questions. Traditional approaches to this game have relied on decision trees, heuristic algorithms, and rule-based systems. However, the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-3 and GPT-4 has opened new avenues for enhancing the performance and interactivity of AI players in this game. This paper explores the application of LLMs in playing the 20 Questions game, focusing on the model's ability to generate and interpret natural language questions and responses. We detail the architecture and training process of an LLM tailored for this task, highlighting modifications made to optimize the model's performance in understanding and narrowing down possible objects. Through extensive testing, we demonstrate that LLMs can achieve a higher success rate and engage in more coherent and contextually appropriate dialogues compared to traditional methods. Additionally, we analyze the model's performance across various object categories, noting the strengths and limitations of LLMs in dealing with different types of objects. Our results show that while LLMs excel in categories with well-defined and common attributes, they face challenges with abstract or less common objects. We propose several strategies for overcoming these limitations, including hybrid approaches that combine LLMs with specialized knowledge bases and reinforcement learning techniques. The findings of this study suggest that LLMs hold significant potential for not only improving the 20 Questions game but also advancing broader applications in conversational AI, interactive entertainment, and educational tools. Future work will focus on refining the model's questioning strategy, enhancing its knowledge representation, and exploring its application in other interactive scenarios.

Authors: Brown Ashley , Barker Edward D. , Friedrich Stella , Rahman Qazi
Published: August 2024

Non-clinical paraphilic interests are not linked to psychopathology, but theirpsychological and demographic features are less understood outside of more commoninterests such as sadomasochism. We explored five paraphilic groups in the UK—BDSM, petplay, age play/ABDL, furries, and balloon fetishists—chosen for their prevalence, diversity,power dynamics, and varied activities. An anonymous online survey assessed demographics,role identity, behavioral engagement, psychological functioning, relational factors, andstereotypes related to sexual offending (N=470). There was high co-occurrence of paraphilicinterests, especially for men, with most participants reporting 2-3. BDSM interestscorrelated strongly with other power-related paraphilias. Men were more likely to take ondominant roles, women submissive roles, and nonbinary people switch roles. A minority didnot pair their interests with sex, especially pet players and furries. Groups were more likelyto have non-heterosexual, non-monogamous, and non-cisgender identities. They did notshow above-clinical levels of psychological distress but exhibited a higher prevalence ofautism traits. Relationship satisfaction correlated with shared paraphilic interests. Weakassociations were found between age play and pedophilic arousal and pet play/furries andzoophilic arousal, but this was only for a small minority. Limitations include a cross-sectionaldesign, largely white sample, and reliance on self-reported data.

Introduction: Self-critical perfectionism and stress have been implicated as risk factors for maladaptive academic outcomes (i.e., decreased academic self-efficacy, decreased academic self-concept, and increased academic burnout). The present study investigated a vulnerability-stress model, testing whether perfectionism (self-critical and rigid) moderates the relationship between stressor severity (academic and interpersonal) and academic outcomes. Method: A sample of 384 post-secondary students (76.8% women, average age: 20.06) completed a cross-sectional survey involving questionnaires assessing the constructs of interest. Results: Stressor severity (both academic and interpersonal) predicted decreased academic self-efficacy and academic self-concept, as well as increased academic burnout, when controlling for perfectionism. Self-critical perfectionism predicted decreased academic self-efficacy and increased academic burnout, when controlling for stressor severity. Main effects of rigid perfectionism generally predicted increased academic self-efficacy and increased academic self-concept when controlling for stressor severity. None of the proposed interaction effects were statistically significant, failing to support a vulnerability-stress model. Discussion: Findings suggest that stressor severity (both academic and interpersonal) and self-critical perfectionism are strong predictors of maladaptive academic outcomes and may serve as risk factors for poor academic functioning. The lack of an interaction effect suggests that a vulnerability-stress model may not explain why perfectionism leads to maladaptive academic outcomes.

Published: August 2024

Background: Diet and nutrition are significant influencers of oral health, and can affect the development and progression of oral diseases such as caries, periodontal disease, erosion, and others. Sucrose is the most common dietary sugar and is considered the most cariogenic carbohydrate. Frequent consumption of carbohydrates in the form of simple sugars increases the risk of dental caries. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between diet and dental caries.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted at selected school located in Janakpur sub- metropolitan city over a period of two and half months from 27th February to 10th May, 2024. A total of 400 school going students aged between 6 to below 12 years were included in the study. Semi-structured questionnaire, dental check-up and 24-hour diet recall sheets were used to capture detailed information about all foods consumed by the participants in the past 24 hours, Descriptive analysis and Chi-square tests were presented by using IBM SPSS version 20.0.
Results: The mean age of the total population was 9.34±1.47 years. Among 400 participants, 53.5% were male and 46.5% were female. Significant differences in oral hygiene status were found between male and female (p < 0.009). Two hundred forty-five (61.25%) of total students eat 4-5 servings starchy cereals and 81.25% of them reported of eating 1-2 servings of refined carbohydrate products. Dental caries was found in 52.35% in underweight participants and 38.89% in participants with normal BMI. Overall prevalence of dental caries was found to be 50.8% for both permanent and primary tooth.
Conclusions: School children of mixed dentition period have higher prevalence of dental caries. Our study revealed that school children of underweight group are more prone to develop dental caries and are associated with low caloric and cariogenic diet. Implementation of proper oral hygiene practice, parental guidance, good food habits and carioprotective diet is recommended to improve dental health in school children.

Der urbane Trickster - Eine vormoderne Figur zwischen elementarem Weltwissen und religiöser Intelligenz
Authors: Scheuer Hans Jürgen
Published: August 2024

Trickster treten an der Schwelle zwischen Welt und Transzendenz auf. Ihr Erscheinen unterläuft alle geltenden Unterscheidungen, selbst diejenige zwischen Leben und Tod. Trickster lassen sich daher nur im Übergang zwischen den Differenzen sehen, nie aber fixieren. Historisch und kulturell, sozial und politisch, religiös und epistemologisch entwickeln sie Physiognomien und Genealogien je nach den Wissensordnungen, denen sie entspringen: sei es der Mündlichkeit tribaler Gemeinschaften, sei es der Schriftlichkeit urbaner Gesellschaften.
Die Monographie folgt letzterer Spur. Dabei zeigt sich von Odysseus und Sokrates über Jesus und Ulenspiegel bis zu den Utopiern und Lalen: Die urbanitas der Tricksterfiguren, ihrer Redeweisen und Lebensformen, beruht auf der Parrhesie. An ihrer Ungebundenheit erprobt das menschliche Wissen seine Grenzen, entwickelt die religiöse Intelligenz ihre List. Wie die Münze ein Maß schwankender Werte, ist das frei gebrauchte Wort der eigentliche urbane Trickster.

Published: August 2024

Numerous variables affect how well adsorption works. The material's surface area is a crucial factor in adsorption. The speed of adsorption by powder material is greater than by granular material. It is related to its surface area. The study aimed to compare the changes of dissolved heavy metals and water pH after adsorption using 60 and 100-mesh adsorbent. A hot plate stirrer was used to carry out adsorption for 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The result showed that the pH of the water changed to neutral after adsorption using 100 mesh adsorbent. Water pH did not meet quality standards after adsorption with 60 mesh adsorbent. The heavy metal Fe in water decreased with an effectiveness rate of 99.5% within 5 minutes of contact time. The concentration of Fe met the quality standards, both in adsorption using 60 and 100 mesh adsorbents. The concentration of Mn did not meet the quality standards. The effectiveness rate of reducing Mn was only 48.6% within 15 minutes of contact time.
