Published: June 2024

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a common term for several disorders that differ from one another in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment. Management of patients with AIHA has become increasingly evidence-based in recent years. While this development has resulted in therapeutic improvements, it also carries increased requirements for optimal diagnosis using more advanced laboratory tests. Unfortunately, limited data are available from developing countries regarding the testing and transfusion management of patients with AIHA. The main objective of this survey was to explore the current immunohematologic testing practices for the diagnosis of AIHA in India. This online survey consisted of 30 questions, covering the place of work, the number of AIHA cases encountered in the 3 preceding years, testing method(s), transfusion management, and so forth. Individuals representing 89 laboratories completed the survey; only 78 of which responded that AIHA testing was performed in their facility’s laboratory. The majority of respondents agreed that the most commonly affected age-group comprised individuals of older than 20 years, with a female preponderance. Regarding transfusion management, respondents indicated that transfusion with “best-match” red blood cell units remains the most common practice. Column-agglutination technology is used by 92 percent of respondents as the primary testing method. Although a monospecific direct antiglobulin test is available at 73 percent of the sites, most of them have limited access to other resources that could diagnose cold or mixed AIHA. Merely 49 percent of responding laboratories have the resources to perform adsorption studies for the detection of alloantibodies. Furthermore, three-cell antibody screening reagents are unavailable at 32 percent of laboratories. In 72 percent of centers, clinical hematologists would prefer to consult a transfusion medicine specialist before administering treatment to AIHA patients. There is unanimous agreement regarding the need for a national registry. The survey data indicate wide variability in testing practices for patients with AIHA in India. Future studies are needed to focus on the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of different testing strategies for developing countries.

Producing leek seeds without replanting one-year-old plants is cheaper and more practical, but can be risky in climates with cold winters. This research aimed to assess whether accelerating the planting of seedlings and using Fulvohumin fertilizer, containing, among others, humic acids can make such production less risky. Three dates were used for planting leek seedlings: April 10, April 25, and May 10. Fulvohumin was used presowing, foliarly, and both. Both factors significantly improved seed production. The best results were obtained at the earliest planting date, as the plants were strong and best prepared for the generative phase and the frost period. Fulvohumin significantly improved growth and development parameters, mainly when used before sowing and as foliar application. In the best combination, with two applications of fertilizers, the seed yield increased by 39%, compared to the control (without Fulvohumin fertilization), and the seed yield of plants planted on April 10 was 17% higher compared to plants planted on April 25 (considered as standard) and 39% higher than those planted on May 10. Seed yield varied in the three subsequent years of the study, but each year, the planting date and Fulvohumin had a similar effect on seed yield.

Published: June 2024

According to the Waste Management Policy of the European Union, the recycling and reuse of various wastes is considered the most environmentally friendly and advanced waste disposal technology that has the least impact on the environment. By applying the principles of the Circular Economy, plastic waste will extend its life cycle and will be used as secondary materials to create metamaterial structures with improved sound absorption and insulation properties. The aim of this study was to determine plastic potential for use in acoustic structures. Acoustic metamaterial resonators, created from plastic, were measured in an impedance tube according to standards ISO 10534-2 for their sound absorbing and ASTM E2611 for their insulating properties. Two types of plastic, PLA and recycled PET-G, were used in acoustic metamaterial 3D printing process. For sound insulation, combined resonator systems were used to control symmetrical wall sound resonance. Sound absorption of both PLA and PET-G metamaterials were peaking at 1600 Hz with 0.93 and 0.89 sound absorption coefficient, respectfully. The results showed that combined constructions with plastic metamaterials can be integrated into building structures and used as an alternative for improving building acoustics, reducing indoor noise and reverberation time.

Authors: Marpaung* Linda Wahyu , Indrayani Leni
Published: June 2024

General Elections are a mechanism that allows the people to exercise their sovereignty directly, open to all, free from interference, carried out secretly, honestly and fairly within the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, on the basis of Pancasila and the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945. Campaign finance reporting is an important aspect in maintaining integrity and fairness in the general election process, especially in the election of President and Vice President . Law no. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections regulates in detail the obligation to report campaign funds. However, there are still various challenges faced in implementing this law. This research is a normative study  namely an approach that refers to analysis based on established principles, norms, or rules. This research is descriptive in nature, where the aim is to provide a complete picture of the state of elections that are democratic as well as honest and fair. Campaign finance reporting has variations in campaign finance reporting practices indicating that not all candidate pairs and their supporting political parties consistently comply with reporting obligations in accordance with applicable law. Financial reports are submitted, but the use of campaign funds is often not transparent. This results in uncertainty in how campaign funds are used and whether their use is in accordance with the provisions of Law no. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections .

LEVERAGING IDIOSYNCRATIC RISK TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS) AND ITS IMPACT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH AT ASEAN COUNTRIES
Authors: Asri Marselinus , Tunjungsari Hetty Karunia , Tongli Bernadeth
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the dynamics between economic growth and key determinants, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to poverty reduction (SDG 1) and affordable clean energy (SDG 7), as well as Idiosyncratic Risk, in ASEAN countries. Utilizing regression analysis, the research uncovers intriguing insights into these relationships. The findings reveal a significant positive association between Idiosyncratic Risk and economic growth, indicating that higher levels of idiosyncratic risk are linked with greater economic activity and innovation. However, the analysis suggests that SDG 1 (No Poverty) initiatives do not directly impact economic growth within the model's framework, highlighting the need for further exploration of indirect effects. Additionally, the promotion of SDG 7 (Affordable Clean Energy) exhibits a statistically significant but negative relationship with economic growth, possibly due to initial investments in clean energy infrastructure. These findings underscore the complex interplay between sustainable development goals, idiosyncratic risk, and economic growth in the ASEAN region, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to foster inclusive and sustainable economic development.

Authors:   Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies, CBNU, Kaparushkina Diana Kaparushkina Diana
Published: June 2024

In the course of analyzing the story “Ilir” by a prominent representative of Nenets literature, Anna Nerkagi, were revealed the peculiarities of the writer’s linguistic personality, direct or indirect appeal to Nenets folklore and mythology, and artistic understanding of the social problems of the Nenets people, among which orphanhood is named the main one. In the novel the orphanhood of the protagonist Ilir personifies the break with national roots and deprivation during historical collisions - Sovietization, collectivization and subsequent internal problems of the people. This work shows that Ilir is a mirror of the personality of the writer A. Nerkagi. He is endowed with the power to fulfill the author’s hopes, which are impossible for objective reasons in reality. It is also shown that the path of the protagonist corresponds to the folklore and mythological plot, where an orphan, in order to realize his calling and establish the status of the chosen one, goes through suffering and initiation. He is faced with the choice of continuing to follow traditions, responding to the new orders of the Soviet regime, or choosing his own path. Based on folklore and mythological principles, this work shows that despite the open ending of the story, the author of the story determines the path of the future strong representative of the Nenets people for the hero.

Inkosi Albert Luthuli had a long and distinguished career as a leader in the South African freedom struggle and occupies an important place in the country’s history as an advocate of Christian (liberation) theology. There is a growing field of knowledge creation exploring the relevance of his leadership in people’s understanding of historical development in South Africa. Luthuli espoused the values and principles of Batho Pele through his moral and ethical leadership, serving as a transformative leader embedded in the philosophy of ubuntu. Luthuli’s life, intellectual and religious philosophies and orientations need to be applied as a lens to comment on historical and contemporary socioeconomic and political issues in South Africa. It is crucial to approach Luthuli’s life in a holistic manner so that people can consider his multiple identities and learn lessons relevant to their positions within society (as community leaders, religious leaders, political actors, scholars, social justice activists and above all as citizens). This will help them to understand the many layers of injustice and inequality plaguing South African society today. Such an undertaking would require an effort to de-normalise multiple layers of power structures in cultivating knowledge, including racial, gender and epistemic barriers. This book combines a set of 12 chapters by various contributors that offer insights into diverse aspects of Luthuli’s life, and his relevance for contemporary South Africa(ns).
Frequency stability control method for multi-energy system considering storage characteristics and transmission inertia of hot and gas pipeline network

Published: June 2024

The grid-connected capacity of renewable energy generation in multi-energy microgrid is increasing. This leads to a decrease in the inertia level in the microgrid, which has a great impact on the frequency stabilization control. This article proposes an adaptive control method for frequency control of inertia in multi-energy microgrids. Firstly, the system frequency fluctuation problem is addressed. Analyze the response characteristics of virtual inertia and the influence of physical inertia of rotating equipment on system frequency dynamics in multi-energy microgrid. Secondly, study the energy transfer characteristics of electric, thermal and gas systems in multi-energy microgrids. The energy coupling model between the subsystems in the multi-energy microgrid is established. And according to the difference of energy transmission time inertia of electric, heat and gas subsystems, the microgrid inertia response time model of different energy systems is established. Then, according to the energy balance stability criterion of multi-energy microgrid, combined with the current operating state of the system and the state of the higher-level distribution network, the fast response adaptive over-compensation control of multi-energy microgrid cluster is carried out to realize the inertia allocation in multi-energy microgrids. Finally, the proposed advanced frequency control method of multi-energy microgrid considering inertia demand is verified by simulation.
JURISDIÇÃO CONSTITUCIONAL: DEFINIÇÃO E LOCALIZAÇÃO
Authors: Bizinoto Soares de Pádua Felipe , Auad Denise
Published: June 2024

A jurisdição é figura jurídica antiga na História, com maiores contrastes com o poder soberano do Estado Moderno. Após a 2ª Guerra Mundial, a jurisdição constitucional ganhou força. Este artigo propõe definir a jurisdição constitucional, partindo da jurisdição em sua generalidade, bem como identificar seus espaços de atuação, considerando como influências fundamentais do desenvolvimento o papel da internacionalização jurídica e a ascensão das Cortes Constitucionais.
INCIDENTE DE RESOLUÇÕES DE DEMANDAS REPETITIVAS COMO INSTRUMENTO DE APRIMORAMENTO DA PRESTAÇÃO JURISDICIONAL
Authors: Barreto Oliveira Tarsis , De Meneses dos Santos Rodrigo
Published: June 2024

O presente contexto social de aumento de conflitos levados ao Judiciário e o fenômeno de litigância repetitiva decorrente das demandas de massa aprofundaram a ineficiência da prestação jurisdicional, gerando um déficit na proteção às relações jurídicas e obstando o efetivo acesso à justiça. A sucessão de demandas repetitivas gera distorções no sistema processual, pois amplia as possibilidades de que conflitos idênticos tenham soluções e tratamentos diferentes. Para fazer frente a esse quadro e contribuir para o apromoramento da prestação jurisdicional foi instituído pelo CPC de 2015 o incidente de resolução de demandas repetitivas. Diante desse contexto, o presente artigo objetiva, de forma reflexiva, dialógica e pontual, demonstrar como a Análise Econômica do Direito pode ser utilizada no contexto da dogmática do processo civil, numa relação dialógico-interdisciplinar para analisar a estruturação teórico-conceitual e funcional do incidente de resoluções de demandas repetitivas no âmbito do Direito Processual Civil. Para isto, fazem uso os autores de pesquisa bibliográfica e do método hermenêutico crítico, por meio de revisão de literatura relacionada ao tema.

Authors: Roberto Barroso Luis
Published: June 2024

O artigo que se segue está dividido em três partes e uma conclusão. Na Parte I, procura-se resgatar os fatos históricos que antecederam a convocação da Assembleia Constituinte que resultou na Constituição de 1988. A Parte II analisa as mudanças trazidas pela nova Carta Política, especialmente em relação aos Poderes da República, bem como as transformações da teoria constitucional brasileira ao longo do período. A Parte III avalia os sucessivos governos pós-1988, as principais emendas feitas à Constituição e alguns dos momentos críticos atravessados nesses trinta e cinco anos de vigência. Ao final, a Conclusão do texto procura apresentar uma agenda para o Brasil, que inclui itens que vão do combate à pobreza até a prioridade máxima para a educação básica, passando pela volta ao crescimento econômico e o investimento em ciência e tecnologia. Apesar de alguns sustos e frustrações, há boas razões para celebrar os 35 anos da Constituição de 1988 e a consolidação da democracia constitucional brasileira. Sem embargo de uma longa jornada pela frente.
High serum total IgE levels correlate with urticarial lesions and IgE deposition in perilesional skin of bullous pemphigoid patients: An observational study
Authors: Giang Pham Ngan , Thi Ha Nguyen Vinh , Le Huu Doanh
Published: June 2024

Background

In the pathophysiology of bullous pemphigoid, besides IgG, there has been evidence that supports the role of IgE antibodies. However, there have been no studies to evaluate total serum IgE levels or detect IgE deposits in the skin of Vietnamese patients.

Aim

To analyse the association between IgE levels in the serum and disease severity as well as eosinophils and IgE basement membrane zone (BMZ) deposition in Vietnamese bullous pemphigoid patients.

Methods

A single-centre observational research on 35 newly diagnosed and untreated bullous pemphigoid patients. Total serum IgE levels were analysed using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). For controls, we collected sera of 30 pemphigus patients and 30 elderly patients with pruritus. Perilesional skin biopsies underwent direct immunofluorescence (DIF) staining, with biopsies of pemphigus patients as controls.

Results

Elevated total serum IgE was observed in 60% of bullous pemphigoid patients, the percentage in the pemphigus group and pruritus group was 20% and 40%, respectively. The mean total serum IgE level among the bullous pemphigoid group was higher than that of the pemphigus group (123.3 ± 102.4 IU/mL vs. 64.3 ± 45.1 IU/mL, p = 0.010). Total serum IgE levels of bullous pemphigoid patients correlated with higher eosinophil counts (r = 0.61; p = 0.018) and urticaria/erythema (U/E) Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI) score (r = 0.50; p = 0.035). Among 35 bullous pemphigoid patients, 5 patients showed positive IgE DIF staining, accounting for 14.3%. Higher serum IgE levels correlated with the deposition of IgE in patients’ perilesional skin (p = 0.037).

Limitations

Due to the rarity of bullous pemphigoid, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, and self-treatment issues in Vietnam, we could not recruit a larger number of participants.

Conclusions

Total serum IgE values correlated with urticarial lesions and IgE deposition in perilesional skin of Vietnamese bullous pemphigoid patients. IgE autoantibodies present in the skin of bullous pemphigoid patients support the role of IgE in bullous pemphigoid pathogenesis.
