Procedure for the Formation of Constitutional (Statutory) Councils of the Constituent Entities
Authors: Savoskin A. V. , Kuryatnikov V. V.
Published: April 2023

The abolition of the constitutional (statutory) courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as specialized bodies of legal protection of the Basic Law has set the task of forming new mechanisms for ensuring constitutional legality for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the federal legislator, having authorized the creation of constitutional (statutory) councils of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, did not determine either their status or the procedure for their formation. At the same time, it is the order of formation that often determines the real place and role in the system of public power, and the unresolved issue will prevent the creation of constitutional (statutory) councils in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In addition, it is the order of formation of the body (and not the competence or the order of work) that is given the main attention in the three laws on already established constitutional councils in the Republics of Yakutia, Adygea and Bashkiria. The paper analyzes the experience of the formation of constitutional protection bodies of the Basic Law and, above all, constitutional (statutory) courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as historical predecessors of constitutional (statutory) councils. The problems of establishing requirements for candidates for members of the constitutional (statutory) councils of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are studied. The order of formation of constitutional councils in Yakutia, Adygea and Bashkiria is analyzed. The three most probable models of formation of constitutional (statutory) councils of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are substantiated. The authors propose a model that is deemed optimal. They suggest appointing members of the constitutional (statutory) council exclusively by the legislative (representative) authority of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation following the proposal of a wide range of state bodies, officials and organizations (and not only on the proposal of the head of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation). It is also proposed to establish separate deadlines for submitting candidates to the parliament of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation and for subsequent decision-making thereon. At the same time, the deadline for submitting candidates to the House of Parliament should be sufficient for proper notification and selection of candidates and should be at least three months, while the deadline for making a decision on candidates can and should be as short as possible (for example, one month). It is proposed to replicate the experience of the Constitutional Council of Adygea, the chairman, deputy Chairman and secretary of which are elected by the constitutional advisers of Adygea from among their members.
Behavioral Finance in the Digital Economy
Authors: Sitnik A. A.
Published: April 2023

The paper reveals the essence of «behavioral finance»: it is a field of scientific knowledge that studies the influence of emotions, cognitive biases and social factors on financial decision-making. Behavior is an approach to the interaction of a person with the outside world. It is obvious that the study of behavior lies more in the plane of biology, physiology and psychology than in jurisprudence. At the same time, it should be understood that it is the behavior of legal entities that affects public relations, which, in turn, are regulated by the norms of law. The paper reveals the factors influencing the behavior of consumers of financial services in the digital economy. In particular, it is indicated that people have fundamentally different attitudes towards cash and monetary funds that are not expressed in cash (non-cash, electronic and digital). In this context specifically, it is necessary to note the general information background associated with blockchain technology. Thanks to the media and against the background of the success of bitcoin and a number of altcoins, at some point in society there was an opinion that investing in cryptocurrencies (and later in NFTs) is more profitable than investing in traditional financial instruments. All of the above leads to the fact that a citizen who is motivated to earn easy money, but does not have the necessary knowledge, loses money as a result of unsuccessful investments in the financial market, and often simply becomes a victim of fraud. The paper highlights the problem of the practical use of behavioral finance in the framework of legal regulation of public relations emerging in the financial market. At the same time, the Bank of Russia evaluates, however limited, behavioral aspects in the process of supervision of the financial market.
Quality Control Metrics for Cepstral Analysis with Homomorphic Deconvolution
Authors: Kemerait Robert C. , Tibuleac Ileana M. , Pascual-Amadeo Jose F. , Stayt Daniel H. , Capuano Marina A. , Thursby Michael
Published: April 2023

In this study we describe an improved cepstral method that can be used for estimating the depth (<2 km) of very shallow earthquakes and explosions. Knowing the depth is important, especially for explosions, for which the best depth indicator, the seismic depth phase (pP) is often not easily discernible from the first arrival (P). Unlike the previous cepstral studies, our method utilizes the power and complex complex cepstrum, and homomorphic deconvolution (HD). The use of quality control metrics increases analyst confidence that a plausible signal–echo delay pair was identified. The metrics quantify liftering adequacy and success of the HD. The most important criteria for successful HD shows good signal–echo delay lag recovery, and a plausible deconvolved signal and echo with similar shape to the initial waveform. The successful application of the method to a few near-ideal cases of high signal-to-noise ratio events warrants testing the proposed metrics on a larger number of well-located events.
Detection of mangrove palm coverage at Cu Lao Cham-Hoi An Biospherer reserve using Sentinel-2A data
Authors: Dang Vu Khac
Published: April 2023

The mangrove palm grows at the Thu Bon river’s mouth. Mangrove palm has contributed to the conservation of natural ecosystems, and the biological diversity of Cu Lao Cham – Hoi An Biosphere Reserve, as well as the socio-economic development of Hoi An city. However, in recent year, its coverage has been gradually reduced due to human socio-economic activities. This study has used not only the raw bands of the Sentinel-2A image but also some spectral indices have been calculated via the band ratio for classifying land covers. The principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to these all bands to eliminate redundant and noise contributions in data. Mangrove palm was separated from other land cover categories with an object-based image classification approach using Support Vector Machines (SVMs) algorithm because of its high efficiency, performance, and flexibility. The obtained map indicates that mangrove palm principally distributes on the left bank of Thu Bon River with a total area of 147 ha by 2019. The validation, was realized by comparing the classification results with random samples through the visual interpretation of Google Earth high resolution image. The error assessment shows that the overall accuracy is about 88.67% and the Kappa coefficient reaches 0.84. Although there are some differences related to the spatial resolution of Sentinel-2 images, such obtained results may support authorities in decision-making by providing maps able to suggest necessary responses for the conservation of mangrove palms this coastal area.

Authors: Raju Pothapragada Veer , Ahmed I. Thanzil , Preethi Abinaya , Mahipathy Surya R. R. V.
Published: April 2023

The Limberg or rhomboid flap can be used to close defects almost anywhere on the body. It is versatile in that a random pattern flap can be raised from any one or all corners of the rhomboid. The defect is filled with tissue of the same thickness and colour, and with good vascularity. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the versatility that a single flap can be used to close defects almost anywhere on the body. This study was conducted in the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, during the period between January 2018 and December 2019. Twenty patients (fifteen males and five females) took part in this study. Their ages ranged from 20-60 years with a mean age of 42 years. From each patient history was taken and physical examination was performed. All the procedures were done under local anesthesia. Postoperatively suture removal was done on the 5th post-operative day. There were twenty patients who took part in the study. Seventeen patients had naevi and three had basal cell carcinoma. The size of the lesions ranged from 2.0×1.8 cm to 4.8×4.5 cm. All the flaps settled well with no complications. The procedure resulted in a very fine and less noticeable scar with smooth contour of the skin which was acceptable in all patients. Limberg flap is a safe and reliable option that could be used in the reconstruction of small and medium‐sized cutaneous defects of the face especially in elderly patients with no morbidity.

Authors: Sandhu Jaskirat Kaur , Kaur Satpreet
Published: April 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a prevalent disease worldwide; according to World Health Organization (WHO), children and young adolescents represent about 11% of all people with TB globally. Although TB often is cited as a disease that commonly occurs in underdeveloped countries, the evolution of drug-resistant forms of TB and infection sensitivity of immunocompromised individuals have made this disease as a focal point for developed countries as well. Although pulmonary TB is the most common form worldwide, but TB can infect any organ of the body. An uncommon version- cutaneous TB- affects <2% of all individuals with active form of TB. This case report describes a 4-month-old child who presented to us with abdominal wall cellulitis following a history of fall related injury. Incision and drainage of the pus from the fluctuant area grew acid fast bacilli on Zeihl-Neelsen staining. After the child didn’t show any improvement with intravenous antibiotics, empirical anti-tuberculosis therapy was initiated after which there was marked improvement. Cutaneous TB constitutes a very small percentage of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and is rarely seen in paediatric age group.

Authors: Hščanovičs Kristiāns , Danefelds Mārtiņš , Freidenberga Lelde L. , Petrāns Mārtiņš
Published: April 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue worldwide and can present with atypical symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. Atypical TB symptoms include non-specific symptoms and extrapulmonary TB, and patients with comorbidities may present with atypical TB due to impaired immune function. TB treatment includes antibiotics, which can cause hepatotoxicity, and require close monitoring for signs of liver injury. A 32-year-old female with intellectual developmental disorders was admitted to the hospital with suspected pneumonia and acute respiratory viral infection. Despite initial treatment with antibiotics, her oxygen saturation decreased, and she developed recurrent pneumothorax on the right side and neutrophilic pleuritis. Computed tomography (CT) scans showed increasing infiltrative changes, and bronchoalveolar lavage eventually revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA, leading to the diagnosis of tuberculosis pneumonia with pleurisy. This case report highlights the challenges of diagnosing TB and the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for TB in patients who do not fit the typical profile of the disease. The case also emphasizes the potential for drug-induced liver damage with TB treatment and the need for close monitoring. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to prevent further complications and improve outcomes in patients with TB.
Scaling, Innovations in Development: The Experience of IDB Lab
Authors: Guerrero Isabel , Rivera Johanan
Published: April 2023

The approach to scaling up innovations in development is broken due to insufficient skills and funding for intermediation. Intermediation involves the essential technical assistance required by organizations and projects to achieve scale, such as strategic planning, convening, and coordinating stakeholders, and investment packaging. This report derives lessons on how to effectively scale innovations in development through an analysis of 39 IDB Lab projects and approximately 100 interviews. It proposes adhering to four principles for enhancement: establishing a consistent and systematic definition of scale, measuring success based on the maturity of the solution, acknowledging, and fostering the intermediation function, and investing in agile tracking while learning from errors. By implementing these strategies, development organizations can seamlessly incorporate scaling up innovation into their operations.

FUNCTIONS OF INAUGURAL SPEECH IN UKRAINIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Striy L. I.
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to defining the main functions of inaugural speech as a speech genre of Ukrainian political discourse. The functions – integrative, inspiring, declarative and performative – are distinguished. The function of integration is realized as calls to unite the Ukrainian people and appeal to the people as a single community. The inspiring function is to form state values ​​and calls for a better future that has a long historical tradition. In the inaugural speech, this function is subordinated to the integral structural and compositional element, which is quite a large semantic block. Inspirational function is manifested in Ukrainian in two forms: praise of historical events and traditions and criticism of the experience of predecessors. The declarative function is to formulate the principles on which the new president will work, ie the program part of the inaugural speech is subordinated to it. The performative function indicates that the new president swears allegiance to the people, swears to take care of the country and acts as the leader of the state.
The Christian Spiritual Perspective of Healing in the Psychological Therapeutic Process
Authors: Nistor Polixenia
Published: April 2023

This paper aims to explore the Christian spiritual dimension of healing in the psychological therapeutic process. We started our approach with a parallel analysis of what mental suffering and spiritual suffering mean. Then, we brought into view a series of questions about the optimal way to treat mental illness and the specific methods of each field (psychology and religion) to deal with the needs of a mentally ill person. The paper discusses the weak points and strong points of each of the two ways and concludes that the two approaches are not mutually exclusive, but must represent a continuum from which the one who benefits is the patient.

Concepciones de la tolerancia. A partir de la "fábula de los anillos" de Lessing
Authors: Giusti Miguel
Published: April 2023

La fábula de un anillo encantado que otorga poderes o causa desgracias a quien lo posee, o que inspira aventuras, batallas y pasiones, es una vieja saga medieval sobre la que pueden hallarse muchas, muchísimas, versiones. La magia del anillo parece haber contagiado también a la retórica de la cultura en que se difundió. De esta exuberancia simbólica da testimonio un famoso manual medieval para uso de los predicadores, conocido con el equívoco nombre de Gesta Romanorum2• La de Tolkien, que en fecha reciente ha invadido el mercado mediático mundial, es una versión novelesca que parece atender a una necesidad de entretenimiento y que por ello dista mucho de la seriedad con que la fábula del anillo fue entendida en sus orígenes. En todo caso, de entre las múltiples versiones recogidas por la tradición, yo quisiera detenerme en la de Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, el dramaturgo, ensayista y crítico de teatro alemán, una de las figuras más sugerentes de la recepción alemana del pensamiento ilustrado y una de las voces que ha contribuido con más ingenio a dotar de contenido al concepto de tolerancia. Voy a tomar la fábula de Lessing sobre el «Señor de los anillos» como punto de partida de una reflexión sobre el problema de la tolerancia. Luego de recordar los elementos principales de la fábula, trataré de caracterizar la interpretación de Lessing como una lectura «cosmopolita» de la noción que comentamos. A continuación, trataré de hacer una suerte de reconstrucción de los diferentes sentidos que fue adoptando dicha noción en la filosofía política. La presentación de esta gama de significaciones puede hacernos percibir mejor, al menos por vía negativa, la magnitud de los problemas morales que la sociedad ha querido enfrentar por su intermedio. Me referiré, así, a las principales matrices hermenéuticas o interpretativas de la noción de tolerancia, con la idea de ir trazando paulatinamente un mapa conceptual del terreno que la noción cubre. Finalmente, a modo de conclusión, propondré una serie de reflexiones de carácter sistemático que se derivan, en mi opinión, de la exposición precedente.

En cierta ocasión, Paulina Arpazi, quien fuera nuestra primera representante mujer indígena en el Congreso, me dijo, y la cito con su consentimiento: «Ya no me atrevo a hablar en el Congreso, porque cuando comienzo a hablar nadie me escucha; entre que soy mujer, india, con pollera y que hablo mal el castellano, nadie me hace caso, ya no hablo más, ahora estoy callada». Esto me llevó a pensar en la pregunta que planteo en el título. Paulina, como muchas otras mujeres en el Perú, junta todas las diferencias que se convierten en desigualdades.

Así como las utopías generadas por el marxismo en la década de 1960, un tipo diferente pero igualmente digno de modernismo genera ahora sus propias utopías. El liberalismo, una fuerza necesaria y humanizadora contra la tiranía en gran parte del siglo XIX y XX, se encuentra, en los albores del nuevo milenio, tan cautivado por sus propios dispositivos y sueños como los admirables revolucionarios de izquierda de épocas anteriores.
La frontera norteña novohispana : diferencias entre órdenes y el clero secular a través de confesionarios del siglo XVIII
Authors: Yáñez Rosales Rosa H.
Published: April 2023

En esta ponencia se hace un acercamiento comparativo a confesionarios de autoría diversa, todos escritos para poblaciones de la frontera norteña novohispana durante el siglo XVIII. Los confesionarios que analizo en este trabajo son seis: tres de autores jesuitas, dos de bachilleres y uno de un franciscano; fueron escritos en castellano y en una lengua indígena, con la excepción de uno que está en castellano, tepehuano y latín. El orden cronológico de su publicación es como sigue: El confesionario coracastellano de José Ortega, jesuita, de 1732; uno cahita-castellano de autor jesuita de nombre desconocido, de 1740; otro, escrito en tepehuán, castellano y latín, de Benito Rinaldini publicado en 1743; uno más escrito en coahuilteco y castellano, de Bartholome García, franciscano, de 1760; un confesionario en náhuatl y castellano de Gerónimo Cortés y Zedeño, bachiller, de 1765 y, finalmente, uno en huasteco y castellano de Carlos Tapia Zenteno, bachiller, de 1767.
Evangelización y autonomía en la nación Yaqui (Sonora, México)

Published: April 2023

Los yaquis constituyen uno de los grupos indígenas más notables del estado de Sonora, en la frontera noroeste de México. Su huella está profundamente marcada en la historia regional, pues han sido actores decisivos para señalar su cauce desde la etapa colonial. No obstante los reiterados esfuerzos de las elites dominantes por integrarlos a la cultura occidental-y cuando han visto fracasar sus propósitos plantearse el exterminio-, este grupo étnico ha persistido en conservar su territorio, cultura, organización política y religiosa, sin que ello signifique una negativa a participar de los proyectos de modernización.

Authors: Kumari Manisha , Nirwan Aarti , Mistry Bobby , Shringi B.N.
Published: April 2023

Background: The present study illustrates the genetic diversity of Surti buffaloes using a total of 10 microsatellite markers selected from the list suggested by FAO (ISAG). Methods: All the 10 microsatellites were successfully amplified by polymerase chain reaction and observed number of alleles ranged from 6 to 12 with a total of 101 alleles across the 10 loci. Result: The overall mean observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity values were 0.617 and 0.772 and ranged from 0.367 to 0.767 and 0.734 to 0.840 respectively. All the 10 primers used in the present study were found to be polymorphic and highly informative with the mean PIC value 0.69 in Murrah, 0.722 found in Surti buffalo. The estimate of heterozygote deficiency varied from 0.039 to 0.509 with a mean positive value of 0.203±0.057, suggesting a deficit of heterozygotes in studied breeds. The sufficiently high mean values of observed number of alleles, observed heterozygosity and PIC for various microsatellites are important to examine the genetic variability ofMurrah and Surtibuffaloespopulation in present scenario for creating useful conservation strategies as well as disease diagnose.
Freud's Emissaries: the transfer of psychoanalysis through the Polish intelligentsia to Europe 1900-1939
Authors: Magnone Lena
Published: April 2023

Aiming to recount how psychoanalysis reached the Polish intelligentsia in the first decades of the twentieth century, this books follows the life trajectories of a few Polish-Jewish disciples of Freud who played a significant role in this process: Ludwig Jekels, Helene Deutsch, Beata Rank, Eugenia Sokolnicka, Gustav Bychowski, Siegfried Bernfeld, the sisters Berta and Stephanie Bornstein, and a handful of other individuals. None of them were born in Poland – the state had disappeared from Europe’s map at the end of the eighteenth century, when, in three successive partitions, the territory of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was divided between the Kingdom of Prussia, the Habsburg Empire and the Russian Tsarist Empire. Only one of these protagonists became a citizen of the Second Polish Republic when it was created in 1918. Some were key to the transfer of Freudian thought to other countries, such as Sweden or France. Most left Europe in the 1930s and established themselves in the United States, contributing to the postwar cultural success of psychoanalysis. It is thus a narrative of Jewish migrations and, to the same extent, a reflection on traveling concepts. The book follows its protagonists in their upward social mobility and subsequent exile and uprooting. It also examines how a subversive emancipatory idea born in the turmoil of fin-de-siècle Vienna transformed into an American therapeutic method, deprived of all political scope.
Transgrediendo el canon. Emergencia del movimiento literario maya en la crítica literaria
Authors: Alejos García José
Published: April 2023

La emergencia de escritores mayas, que irrumpen con una literatura original, novedosa y de un espíritu transgresor, ocurre en el actual contexto político mundial del reconocimiento de derechos culturales y de reivindicaciones de los pueblos originarios. Este movimiento ha despertado un creciente interés entre diversos públicos, entre ellos los críticos literarios ocupan un lugar especial, analistas que en buena medida han buscado dar cuenta de esa emergencia y ubicarla como una categoría particular al interior de la esfera literaria nacional o regional. El planteamiento de este artículo es que, a contracorriente de la visión asimilacionista presente entre aquellos especialistas, mediante su producción literaria los escritores mayas participan de un movimiento artístico indígena más amplio, orientado no a encontrar un lugar en la literatura nacional, sino a cuestionar el canon literario hegemónico, a redefinir el canon mismo.

Itzamnaaj yaxte’: análisis de una flauta efigie poliglobular del periodo Clásico maya conservada en el Museo de Instrumentos Musicales de Bruselas, Bélgica
Authors: Brohée Jean-François
Published: April 2023

Desde los albores del periodo Preclásico Tardío la figura arquetípica del anciano empezó a ornar una multitud de artefactos manufacturados por artistas y artesanos mayas. Este artículo se propone dar a conocer y examinar una flauta-efigie de procedencia desconocida cuyo resonador poliglobular ha sido adornado con la cara del numen chimuelo. Tradicionalmente referido como Dios N, Dios D o Itzamnaaj/Itzam Kokaaj en función del contexto y de su esfera de control, este personaje teopolimorfo ha sido objeto de numerosas investigaciones pormenorizadas. El hecho de que su rostro arrugado haya sido aplicado al cuerpo de aerófonos de prestigio parece sugerir que se consideraba que existía un nexo particular entre la divinidad, el ámbito sonoro, la práctica instrumental y la actividad ritual. Registrado con el número de inventario 1981.033 y fechado del periodo Clásico Tardío, el instrumento de viento forma actualmente parte de las colecciones del Muziek Instrumentenmuseum (MIM) de Bruselas, Bélgica. A la fecha, la pieza no ha sido tema de investigaciones previas. Asimismo, conviene hacer hincapié en que constituye un ejemplar único de mediación sonora con lo suprasensible dado que combina un conjunto de elementos iconográficos significativos con una configuración organológica específica. Por consiguiente, el análisis de la flauta contribuye a mejorar nuestra comprensión de la figura del anciano hacedor.
Indigenismos en el Vocabulario de la lengva aymara de Ludovico Bertonio (Juli, 1616): primera aproximación
Authors: Hernández Esther
Published: April 2023

This paper attempts to demonstrate the lexical value of the Vocabulario aymara composed by Ludovico Bertonio in 1616 for Hispanic lexicography. It is an approach to the study of the Andean borrowings present in the dictionary. To this goal, it gives an account of the neologisms found, organised by lexical fields, specifically analyzing the lexicon of food. It offers a selection of contexts in which frequent indigenous terms appear, such as chuño, papa and quinoa, but also cites other less common ones, such as achacana, sancayo or tunta. Thus, reliable early records of Andeanisms are presented, as well as relevant etymological evidence. Nevertheless, some considerations are made about the validity and representation of this indigenous lexicon in the reference dictionaries of the DLE and the DAM.

Más de indiarrománica: acerca de la poligénesis
Authors: Chávez Fajardo Soledad
Published: April 2023

The present investigation is an exercise in historical lexicology working with a group of voices with the usual coinage of Americanisms and the objective is to examine whether from the diasystem or from synchrony they can be understood, precisely. The methodology consists of two parts: first being a process of collation and lexical filtering with some linguistic tools in Spanish such as dictionaries, linguistic monographs and linguistic corpus and second being strictly lexicological-lexicographical phase, where semantics, polysemy and possible homonymy are explored. The information collected, therefore, comes from the textual level, which is why, most often, found data may contradict Spanish as a fact of architecture or official lexicography. In short, these units are a group of voices neither exemplary or standard nor provincial relative to the standard language.

Authors: González-Rodríguez María Luz
Published: April 2023

Cracking India (1991), considered the most remarkable novel by the Pakistani-American writer of Parsi descent Bapsi Sidhwa, focuses on the historical event of the Partition that took place in 1947, which divided the Indian subcontinent into the countries of India and Pakistan. The plot is substantially gynocentric and recounts the horrors of this territorial, political and social conflict and depicts how women were objectified not only from a sexual perspective, but also as trophies of power and humiliation on the enemy side. The aim of this article is to explore the concepts of shame and guilt in power relations, by applying the affect theory from a gender perspective.

The shortwave infrared Ge-Si photodetector will become the core device of the LiDAR optical receiver. In order to meet the urgent demand for photodetectors in the LiDAR field, we have designed and produced a 32×32 pixel Ge-Si photodetector array proposed and developed to meet the performance requirements of the detector array. A dark current detection system for fast scanning and detecting large-scale Ge-Si detector arrays is proposed and developed to achieve rapid detection of dark current in each pixel of the detector. The system was used to validate the main performance indicators of the detector array we designed, achieving rapid discrimination of array performance and rapid localization of damaged pixels. The scanning test results show that the average dark current of the detector array chip we designed is at the nano ampere level, and the proportion of bad points is less than 1%. The consistency of the array chip is high, which can meet the requirements of light detection at the receiving end of the LiDAR. This work laid the foundation for our subsequent development of a LiDAR prototype system.

Published: April 2023

Antiretroviral therapy has effectively suppressed HIV infection and replication and prolonged the lifespan of HIV-infected individuals. In the meantime, various complications including type 2 diabetes associated with long-term antiviral therapy have shown steady increases. Metformin has been the front-line anti-hyperglycemic drug of choice and the most widely prescribed medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, little is known about the effects of Metformin on HIV infection and replication. In this study, we showed that Metformin treatment enhanced HIV gene expression and transcription in HIV-transfected 293T and HIV-infected Jurkat and human PBMC. Moreover, we demonstrated that Metformin treatment resulted in increased CREB expression and phosphorylation, and TBP expression. Furthermore, we showed that Metformin treatment increased the recruitment of phosphorylated CREB and TBP to the HIV LTR promoter. Lastly, we showed that inhibition of CREB activation significantly abrogated Metformin-enhanced HIV gene expression. Taken together, these results demonstrated that Metformin treatment increased HIV transcription, gene expression, and production though increased CREB phosphorylation and recruitment to the HIV LTR promoter. These findings may help design the clinical management plan and HIV cure strategy of using metformin to treat type 2 diabetes, a comorbidity with an increasing prevalence, in people living with HIV.

The spiral tube heat exchange is widely used in large-scale liquefaction process. However, the research on the friction pressure drop of the two-phase flow in the spiral tube is limited, especially for the offshore sloshing condition. In this paper, an experimental system is designed and built, and the effects of sloshing form (roll, pitch, heave), sloshing period (5-15s), mass flux (200-800 kg/(m2·s)), vapor quality (0.3-0.9) and operating pressure (2-4 MPa) on friction pressure drop of methane/ethane (C1/C2) mixture in spiral tube are studied. The result shows that the growth rate of time-averaged friction pressure drop during condensation under sloshing condition is less than 0, which indicates that sloshing will lead to drag reduction. And under the three sloshing parameters, the growth rate of time-averaged friction pressure drop of C1/C2 is reduced by-5.99%%, 5.97% and -6.70% respectively.

The many problems faced by the theory of general relativity (GR) have always motivated us to explore the modified theory of GR. Considering the importance of studying the black hole (BH) entropy and its correction in gravity physics, we study the correction of thermodynamic entropy for a kind of spherically symmetric black holes under the generalized Brans-Dicke (GBD) theory of modified gravity. We derive and calculate the entropy and heat capacity. It is found that when the value of event horizon radius~$r_+$~is small, the effect of the entropy correction term on the entropy is very obvious, while for larger values~$r_+$~, the contribution of the correction term on entropy can be almost ignored. In addition, we can observe that as the radius of the event horizon increases, the heat capacity of BH in GBD theory will change from a negative value to a positive value, indicating that there is a phase transition in black holes. Given that studying the structure of geodesic lines is important for exploring the physical characteristics of a strong gravitational field, we also investigate the stability of the geodesic motion of particles in static spherically symmetric BHs within the framework of GBD theory. Concretely, we analyzes the dependence of the innermost stable circular orbit on model parameters. Also, the geodesic deviation equation is also applied to investigate the stable circular orbit of particles in GBD theory. The conditions for the stability of BH solution and the limited range of radial coordinates required to achieve stable circular orbit motion are given. Finally, we show the locations of stable circular orbits, and obtain the angular velocity, the specific energy and angular momentum of the particles which move in circular orbits.

Bamboo engineering materials are green, high-strength, tough, durable, and structurally safe, and have promising application prospects in various modern green and low-carbon buildings. To invest the vibration behavior of new bamboo bundle veneer -laminated lumber (BLVL) for use in floor slabs, this study designed two kinds of full-scale vibration tests under a pedestrian load: an extraction hammer impact test, and a static concentrated load test, it is expected to provide theoretical and data support for the application of bamboo bundle veneer laminated composite materials in the construction field. The results showed that the self-oscillation frequency and mid-span deflection of the BLVL composite met the requirements of multiple relevant regulations when used as the structural material of floor slabs. The BLVL floor slab had a higher flexural stiffness and better vibration-damping performance than the OSB floor slab. The first-order self-oscillation frequency of the BLVL composite floor slab was 13.769 Hz, the damping ratio of the first three orders of modalities was 1.262–2.728%, and the maximum static deflection in the span of the joist was 0.932 mm under a 1 kN concentrated load. The 1 kN static deflection of the BLVL was reduced by 22.33%, and the root mean square (RMS) acceleration of the walking load response was significantly lower than that of the OSB floor slab. The preparation of BLVL composite materials by homogeneous lamination of bamboo bundle veneer and wood veneer may help improve the vibration behavior of bamboo-wood structures such as floor slabs and walls.
