Authors: Kholodov Aleksei S. , Kirichenko Konstantin Yu. , Vakhniuk Igor A. , Duan Piaopiao , Golokhvast Kirill S.
Published: October 2024

Relevance. Russian coal exports have been steadily increasing in recent years, and Far Eastern ports, originally not adapted to dusty cargoes, have switched to coal operations. Unoptimized coal handling leads to increased content of coal-containing particles in the air and to various environmental problems. Aim. To analyze the concentration of particulate matter in the air and the chemical composition of particles on the surface of conifer needles in the Posyet settlement (Primorsky Krai, Russia), where a large coal terminal operates. Materials and methods. The chemical composition was studied on the surface of conifer needles by X-ray fluorescence and in washout of conifer needle samples using Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive analysis. Concentrations of particles with the diameter of 2.5 and 10 μm (PM2.5 and PM10, respectively) were measured using automatic monitoring stations.  Results and conclusions. Chemical composition was dominated by mineral particles (calcite, silicates, etc.). However, the presence of coal particles (up to 8.3%) and metal particles was also observed. Mean concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 were within the Russian and international health standards, but close to their upper limits. Concentrations of both measured particle fractions were highest during the winter months (as well as in March, which is traditionally a cold month in the Far East), followed by a gradual decrease. The study obtained new data on the annual variations of concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10, as well as on the basic composition of particles from the surface of woody vegetation (needles) as an indicator of the state of air pollution in this settlement.

Published: October 2024

Relevance. The need to predict deformations of the earth's surface near injection wells pumping liquid radioactive waste, as well as their stability when pressure changes in the well during injection. Aim. To perform a numerical analysis of the stress-strain state of the structural elements of the injection well and the surrounding rock mass using the finite element method, to determine the magnitude of the deformations of the earth's surface and define the stability of the well and the strength of the cement stone at the maximum injection pressure of liquid radioactive waste. Objects. Near-wellbore zone of one of the injection wells located at the liquid radioactive waste injection site. Methods. Numerical finite element method for calculating the stress-strain state of the near-wellbore zone, taking into account the distribution of the elastic properties of rocks along the simulated section and the main structural elements of the well. Results. The authors have developed the numerical finite element scheme of one of the injection wells, taking into account its main structural elements, as well as allowing you to set the pressure distribution within the exploited horizon during the injection of waste. In the model, the distribution of the elastic properties of rocks along the section was set, taking into account their lithological features. The authors carried out the analysis of the hydrodynamic parameters of the well operation and determined the maximum pressure at the wellhead during the injection of liquid radioactive waste, equal to 1.71 MPa. Numerical modeling of the stress-strain state of the near-wellbore zone was performed in two stages: for the conditions of an idle well and taking into account the pressure distribution at the maximum waste injection pressure. The distribution of vertical displacements at the level of the earth's surface, as well as at the top of the operational horizon at the maximum pressure of liquid radioactive waste injection, is obtained. It is shown that at such a pressure, the largest uplifts will be: on the earth's surface – 4.5 cm, on the top of the production horizon – 11 cm. An assessment of the stability of the well structural elements at a maximum waste injection depth of 280 m, corresponding to the maximum pressure, showed that the stresses in the well and cement stone are much lower than the values that can lead to their violation. For cement stone, the safety factor at a maximum pressure of 1.71 MPa was equal to 7.8.
Block method of mining quarry fields as a tool to reduce environmental impact in conditions of intensification of production
Authors: Selyukov Alexey V. , Gerasimov Andrey V.
Published: October 2024

Relevance. The intensification of open-pit mining in the coal basins of the Russian Federation is accompanied by an increase in negative impact on the environment. Directly in Kuzbass, the environment is exposed to the impact of the coal industry, especially when conducting open-pit mining using deep mining systems, with external dumping, which is accompanied by the withdrawal of a large amount of undisturbed land. The block method of mining quarry fields, well known in mining, has been rarely implemented in existing and planned quarry fields. The general line of its application is the lack of a unified approach to the design of block parameters, including environmental and economic assessment of the impact of this technological solution on the environment. Aim. Reduce environmental payments of mining enterprises with justified parameters of blocks for the development of quarry fields of promising inclined and steeply dipping coal deposits. Methods. Systematic generalization of the actual situation of mining operations in open-pit mines using the block method of mining quarry fields, the method of options and technical and economic modeling using spreadsheets. Results and conclusions. The authors have proposed the ecological and economic criteria for assessing the application of the block method of quarry field development. This allows us to study the patterns of change in environmental indicators. Using the example of the Krasnobrodskoe open-pit mine, the costs of environmental payments for the use of land resources, emissions and dusting are calculated for two options different from the design documentation. Based on the calculation results, the authors proved the efficiency of applying the block procedure for developing promising coal deposits, allowing us to reduce the costs for environmental impact by 22.5 and 63%, respectively, when changing the length of the initial block along the bottom from 2.2 to 1.4 km. From which it follows that the combined ecological and economic indicators allow us to fully assess the feasibility of applying the method for calculating block parameters, which is generally reflected in reduction in the costs for negative impact on the environment.
Dissociative Identity Disorder and Its Relationship with Other Diagnoses
Authors: Sürü Dilara
Published: October 2024

Dissociative identity disorder is the most complex, severe, and chronic condition within the category of dissociative disorders. The core issue in dissociative identity disorder involves significant divisions and discontinuities in an individual's memory, behavior, emotions, consciousness, and identity, which typically function as a cohesive whole. These dissociative experiences lead to impairments in various psychological functions and are often accompanied by other psychological disorders. Compared to other mental health conditions, environmental factors play a more prominent role in the development of dissociative identity disorder. This is primarily because the etiology of dissociative disorders is closely linked to repeated, systematic, and traumatic experiences, particularly during childhood. Historically, dissociative identity disorder has been diagnosed late, and its association with trauma has often been overlooked. The presence of alter identities and the challenges in recognizing dissociative identity disorder have contributed to this oversight, resulting in a delay in exploring the connections between dissociative identity disorder and other diagnoses. This study aims to investigate the history, diagnostic criteria, treatment approaches, and dissociative aspects of dissociative identity disorder, as well as its relationships with other mental health disorders. Notably, dissociative identity disorder has strong associations with conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, somatization, eating disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The interplay between these diagnoses and dissociative identity disorder is examined through the lens of shared symptoms, comorbidity, etiology, and epidemiology. The delayed recognition of the diagnostic and therapeutic protocols for dissociative identity disorder and the consequent neglect of its relationship with other disorders in the literature underscore the significance of this study. By highlighting these connections, we can enhance our understanding and improve the treatment of individuals affected by dissociative identity disorder and its comorbid conditions.
A Scoping Review on Client-Focused Feedback System in Psychotherapy: Routine Outcome Monitoring
Authors: Öztürk İrem , Yorulmaz Orçun
Published: October 2024

Psychologists want to know what works in therapy, what specific factor benefits the individual, and how to improve the quality of therapy outcomes. According to this aim, empirically supported treatments were developed in 2005 and "Evidence-Based Practice" was put forward. Routine Outcome Measure (ROM) is a feedback system which rooted in Evidence-Based Practice. The aim of the current study is to provide information about the ROM method by making a scoping review. EKUAL, PubMed and Scopus databases were scanned. As a result of the screening, 44 studies in the mental health literature that provided information about ROM were included in the study. The findings obtained from 44 studies were evaluated under 6 main headings: Stages of ROM, advantages of ROM, disadvantages of ROM and obstacles to its use, efficacy of ROM, digitalization of ROM and suggestions for the development of ROM. It can be said that ROM is a promising method in terms of improving the quality of therapies. It is expected that studies on ROM and regular use of ROM in therapies will increase in the future
An Examination of Narcissism and Schadenfreude within the Framework of Self-Esteem, Social Comparison and Envy
Authors: Karaosmanoğlu Ecem , Kandemir Fatma
Published: October 2024

This review study aims to investigate the correlation between narcissism and schadenfreude (the pleasure gained from the misfortunes of others). In this regard, literature investigating the concepts of narcissism and schadenfreude was reviewed. Despite the similarities among the terms self-esteem, envy, and social comparison in the context of both narcissism and schadenfreude, there exists a paucity of studies investigating the relationship between narcissism, including vulnerable and grandiose, and schadenfreude. This study encompasses definitions of narcissism and schadenfreude, as well as concepts of self-esteem, social comparison, and envy, which elucidate their interrelationship, alongside findings from various studies exploring the connection between narcissism and schadenfreude from multiple perspectives. This review study culminated in an examination of the relationship between narcissism and schadenfreude, discussing the findings and offering recommendations for future research and mental health professionals.
Self-Criticism: Conceptualization, Assessment and Interventions
Authors: Pekin Zeynep , Güme Sena
Published: October 2024

Self-criticism, considered as a transdiagnostic concept in the emergence of various psychopathologies, is considered as negative evaluations directed towards oneself especially in perceived failure situations. In literature various views regarding self-criticism, suggesting it as a personality trait, a style of relating to oneself, a coping response to various situations, or a safety strategy developed to restrain negative experiences, exist. In this regard, various researchers have conceptualized self-criticism with different dimensions and structures, leading to the development of various measurement tools. Findings obtained from these scales indicate that self-criticism is a risk factor for psychopathology and a factor that affects individuals to experience difficult emotions and their engagement in various challenging behaviors such as perfectionism and emotional eating. For this reason, several interventions aimed at reducing individuals' levels of self-criticism have been conducted in the literature. In this study the scales developed based on different conceptualizations of self-criticism were introduced, the effects of self-criticism on individuals were presented by compiling results of studies in which the relationships between self-criticism and various variables were examined and finally the results of intervention studies based on Cognitive Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy were summarized. It is believed that providing comprehensive theoretical and empirical knowledge related to self-criticism will contribute to future studies in the field.
Is bilingual education a handicap for early childhood education teachers?
Authors: Koyuncu Şahin Mine , Korkmaz Aysel
Published: October 2024

Starting bilingual education from birth and early childhood allows the child to be introduced to the advantages of bilingualism at an early age. This study was conducted to explore the perspectives of early childhood teachers working in private preschools that offer education in a foreign language and monolingual teachers working in public preschools on bilingualism and bilingual education in Ankara, Türkiye. The sample consisted of 16 early childhood teachers, 8 of whom were bilingual and 8 of whom were monolingual. Five themes were identified through content analysis. The sub-themes and codes that emerged from these overarching themes were further elucidated using selected sample statements. The findings revealed that early childhood teachers' perspectives about bilingualism and bilingual education may vary depending on whether they are bilingual or monolingual. Despite the differences in teachers' views on bilingualism and some gaps in their knowledge about educational programs, all of them acknowledged bilingualism as an advantage and emphasized the need for the proliferation of bilingual schools in Türkiye. The conditions of bilingual education in Türkiye were taken into account in interpreting the results, and recommendations were made accordingly.

Authors: Sözen Gülçe , Özen Yavuz Arzu
Published: October 2024

The article moves away from the traditional architectural basic design education methods and approaches it within the framework of the discipline of educational sciences and learning models. The multi-layered education structure transforms into a new learning field under the guidance of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy, which proposes a course schedule for the architectural basic design studio. Taxonomy allowed us to discover the reflections and effectiveness of the interdisciplinary structure of architecture and design in the educational process and to be instrumentalized and used in the context of basic design education. The course schedule proposal presents a flexible schedule outline with the example of an interdisciplinary studio schedule. The trial created within the scope of this study can be appropriately organized for different Ecoles, schools, and values. The paper is significant for its interdisciplinary nature and develops a new discourse using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. Using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy as a method in the studio has led to a paradigm shift in methodology.

Authors: Zagorodnyaya Ekaterina B. , Suvyrina Marina B. , Yurkevich Alexander V. , Zagorodny Alexander S.
Published: October 2024

Lesions of the oral mucosa (SOPR) are often the primary pronounced clinical symptom of somatic diseases. It is possible to find out which pathogenetic mechanisms and links of somatic pathology create conditions for the implementation of risk factors, the implementation and development of structural and functional disorders in the oral mucosa, with the aim of targeted therapeutic effects on changes in the SOPR and the general condition of the body as a whole. The purpose of the study was to establish the structure of diseases of the oral mucosa depending on gender and age in patients with various somatic pathology.
Materials and methods: A survey was conducted of 164 patients who sought advice from the Dental Hospital of Khabarovsk. Between the ages of 18 and 89. The average age of patients was (55.7 ± 1.38) years. All the subjects were divided into 4 groups depending on their age and the presence of diseases of internal organs. The comparison group included 30 somatically preserved patients of similar age and gender, by random sampling.
Results: It was found that with pathology of the oral mucosa, women out of the total number of cases were 2.5 times more than men. The greatest number of patients’ complaints about the diseases of COPD was in the age group of 60-74 years, unlike other age groups: 18-44 years by 1.8 times; 45–59 years by 1.2 times; 75–89 years by 2.7 times, respectively. Most diseases of the oral mucosa are manifested in the presence of systemic pathology. Somatic diseases were detected in 62.2 % of patients with COPD. Pathology of internal organs and systems affects 70.42 % of patients with lichen planus, 50 % of patients with leukoplakia, 80 % of patients with candidiasis, 26.32 % of patients with chronic aphthous stomatitis and 79.17 % of patients with glossitis. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are 1.2 and 2.8 times more dominant in the structure of the lesions of the SOPR compared to the pathology of the cardiovascular and endocrine system.
Findings: The revealed pattern of manifestations of pathological changes in the oral mucosa against the background of somatic pathology is of great diagnostic importance not only for dentists of various profiles, but also for clinicians of specialized departments, since ultimately all this affects the timeliness and quality of medical and diagnostic care for this category of patients.

Published: October 2024

The present study proposes a convenient approach to identify a series of novel substituted 1H-indol-5-,6-ylaminium trifluoroacetates with antimicrobial activity based on mass spectral data obtained using direct injection into an ion source at an elevated temperature when the salts decompose with the release of counterions: acids and organic bases – substituted 1H-indolylamines. By the presence of ions with m/z 69, 45, 28, 17 in the spectra, it is judged that the salts are formed by trifluoroacetic acid. Using the available literature data on the mass spectrometry of substituted indoles, aromatic amines, and carboxylic acids, substantiated schemes for the decomposition of molecular ions of organic bases, 1H-indolylamines, are compiled and discussed, in which the mechanism of formation and the structure of fragment ions arising under electron ionization conditions are given. The revealed general, as well as individual for individual representatives with a certain character and place of substitution in the indole bicycle, patterns of behavior of 1H-indolylamine radical ions under conditions of high-temperature mass spectral imaging make it possible to judge their structure and, in general, the structure of 1H-indolylamine trifluoroacetates. The approach used in this work can also be used to prove compounds of a similar group based on the analysis of their mass spectra.

Dynamics of changes in heart rate, ST segment and T-wave on patients with ventricular rhythm disturbances on the background of type 2 diabetes mellitus according to the results of 24-hour cardiac monitoring
Authors: Mukhin Igor V. , Zubritsky Kirill S.
Published: October 2024

The aim of the study was to analyze the dynamics of heart rate, assess the morphogenesis of the ST segment and T wave in patients with ventricular arrhythmias associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) based on the results of daily cardiac monitoring against the background of two regimens of metabolitotropic treatment. The study included 133 patients with type 2 DM with ventricular arrhythmias. The inclusion criteria for the study were: moderately severe type 2 diabetes in the stage of sub-/compensation on the background of combined glucose-lowering therapy without insulin, the presence of ventricular arrhythmias of classes III–V according to Lown B. and Wolf M. (1971). By random sampling, patients were randomized into 3 observation groups, statistically homogeneous in age, sex, duration of the diabetic syndrome, classes of ventricular arrhythmias. Patients of the 1st group (n = 44) received amiodarone and beta-blocker. Patients of the 2nd group (n = 45) received the same antiarrhythmic treatment, but in combination with meldonium for 3 consecutive months with the next 3-month course repeated after 6 months. Representatives of the 3rd group (n = 44) received treatment with amiodarone, beta-blocker and trimetazidine of the same duration. 24-hour ECG monitoring was performed at baseline, 3 months later, and 1 year later. Statistica 6.0 software was used for statistical processing. The examination revealed tachycardia syndrome and signs of pain and painless myocardial ischemia. It has been established that ventricular arrhythmias in type 2 DM are of a secondary nature, largely dependent on ischemic manifestations. Trimetazidine compared with meldonium showed a greater anti-ischemic effect, which made it possible to obtain a better antiarrhythmic effect. Trimetazidine is considered as one of the justified components of the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias of ischemic origin in patients with type 2 DM.
THE IMPACT OF POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENT ON HUSBAND AND WIFE'S OWNERSHIP IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
Authors: Kelly Maria JF , Harjanto Rudy , Widjojo Anne Gunadi Martono
Published: October 2024

Husband and wife who do not enter into a marriage agreement cannot establish a limited liability company with just the two of them, because in terms of ownership of assets, their assets constitute as one unit of joint property. Therefore the provision that a limited liability company is a capital association is not fulfilled. They then invite third parties, whether it's their own children or other third parties to become shareholders. Third parties like this are generally only invited to comply with statutory provisions and the number of shares they have in a company is usually also very small. The decision of the Constitutional Court number 69/PUU-XIII/2015 has an impact on many husbands and wives who are not also in mixed marriages to also make the marriage agreement. This study aims to see the impact of the shares owned by husband and wife if they then make a postnuptial agreement, whether the presence of a third party in the company still needed or not considering that between them there has been a separation of assets. The method used in this research is normative juridical. The result of this research is that if the husband and wife enter into a postnuptial agreement, then the participation of third parties is no longer necessary because they are already separate property owners, and shares previously owned by third parties can be transferred to one or both of them.
ACHIEVING THE LEGAL OBJECTIVE OF WITHHOLDING INCOME TAX ON FOREIGN YOUTUBE VIDEO CREATORS FOR VIDEO UTILIZATION INCOME SOURCED IN INDONESIA
Authors: Pangaribuan Freddy Leonardo , Ritonga Anshari , Budi Henry Soelistyo
Published: October 2024

One of the digital economy transactions is the transaction on YouTube monetization received by video creators based on viewers in a source country. Overseas video creators do not pay Income Tax (PPh) in Indonesia on income from Youtube videos sourced in Indonesia because there is no physical presence of the video creator in Indonesia and no identified income as a tax object on which the Indonesian tax authorities impose PPh on the overseas video creator. This condition creates legal uncertainty, injustice, and loss of benefit for Indonesia as a source country due to the loss of potential PPh revenue from the digital market. Currently, Article 32A of the General Provisions and Tax Procedures (KUP) Law has provided a formal tax law to be able to appoint other parties as PPh withholders. However, the implementation is not yet possible because the material tax law is not yet sufficient to designate other parties, such as Google, which are not domiciled and have no permanent establishment in Indonesia as PPh withholders. To achieve legal objectives, the PPh Law as material tax law needs to be strengthened to provide legal certainty in the PPh withholding on foreign video creators and create justice and benefits for Indonesia as one of the source countries for video creators' income. Strengthening the PPh Law is conducted by amending the provisions of Article 26, Article 2 paragraph (4), and Article 4. The amendment to the PPh Law does not result in revisions of the P3B Indonesia and other countries since the allocation of taxation rights for royalty income from the source country has been regulated in the P3B. Furthermore, the government could make implementing regulations regarding the PPh withholding by other parties on income from the utilization of content copyrights received by YouTube video creators.
Improbidad Administrativa (Brasil)
Authors: Fridriczewski Vanir , Rodríguez-García Nicolás
Published: October 2024

Brasil, especialmente desde la redemocratización que supuso la Constitución de 1988, ha introducido importantes cambios en su derecho sancionador. Se crearon diversos órganos con competencias sancionadoras y se estableció un sistema con múltiples ámbitos de responsabilidad. Una de estas innovaciones está referido a los llamados actos de improbidad administrativa, una peculiaridad del sistema jurídico-constitucional brasileño, sin parangón al menos en los países occidentales, que está directamente relacionada con la persecución de la corrupción pública. Por ello, este trabajo pretende examinar los principales aspectos de este sistema de responsabilidad, tratando de proporcionar al lector una comprensión de qué tipo de ilícito se trata, su régimen jurídico mínimo, así como las herramientas procesales para sancionar la práctica de estos actos, prestando especial atención a algunos puntos nucleares de esta materia que han sido introducidos en una reforma legislativa en el año 2021.
Discutiendo con Juan Auz. Desafíos del Litigio Climático con enfoque de Derechos Humanos
Authors: Montalván-Zambrano Digno
Published: October 2024

Este trabajo explora algunos de los desafíos de la propuesta a favor de la implementación de un enfoque de derechos humanos sobre el litigio climático, defendida por el profesor Juan Auz en el número anterior de esta revista. Sostengo que, si bien esta idea puede ayudar a que las víctimas participen en la toma de decisiones sobre el calentamiento global, la diferencia de objetivos y enfoques entre el derecho climático y los derechos humanos, hacen que la relación entre ambos cuerpos normativos no sea del todo pacífica. En específico, señalo que el enfoque individual, correctivo y territorial de los derechos humanos limita su capacidad para abordar problemas ambientales de escala global, como el cambio climático. En el otro extremo, advierto los riesgos de la determinación del daño sobre los derechos humanos a partir de una mirada exclusivamente global sobre los problemas ambientales. En línea con lo anterior, presento los elementos complejizan la atribución de responsabilidades estatales por violaciones a los derechos humanos causadas por el cambio climático. Finalmente, apunto las tensiones existentes entre la dependencia del litigio climático a la ciencia occidental y otras formas de conocimientos, como las propias de los pueblos indígenas.
Gustavo Zagrebelsky, La justicia como profesión
Authors: Babi Ruiz Fernando
Published: October 2024

Gustavo Zagrebelsky desarrolla en La justicia como profesión un estudio sobre la cultura jurídica de la sociedad. Y para ello, analiza la complejidad del derecho desde una doble perspectiva. De un lado, desde una perspectiva popular, carente de formación jurídica, que observa el mundo de la justicia como algo intrincado, misterioso, cargado de simbología y de un lenguaje barroco. Y de otro lado, la perspectiva de los juristas, profesionales dedicados a un ámbito complejo como el jurídico, proclive a la duda y a la incertidumbre. Para los primeros, el profesor italiano ofrece una guía de explicaciones históricas, filosóficas y simbólicas encaminadas a la comprensión popular del ámbito jurídico. Para los segundos, una serie de fundamentos y experiencias que ayudarán al jurista a abordar los conflictos propios de su profesión.

Authors: Costa Rafaela Z. F. , Medina-Papst Josiane , Marques Inara , Bastos Flavio H.
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND: Self-controlled feedback has been identified as an efficient strategy for teaching motor skills, however, different results have been shown in adults and children. Researchers point out that the different characteristics in the information processing of these populations can explain these discrepancies.
AIM: The objective was to investigate the effects of providing Self-controlled Knowledge of Performance (SKP) on learning the Dive Roll, a specific Artistic Gymnastic skill, in children and adults.
METHOD: A total of 24 children participated, divided into two groups: a group which received SKP (GSC) (n=12) and a group with yoked Knowledge of Performance (KP) (GYC) (n=12). In addition, 20 adults participated, divided into 2 groups: a group which received SKP (GSA) (n=10) and a group with yoked KP (GYA) (n=10). Descriptive analyses were performed and the permutation test was applied to compare groups and evaluation times (pre-test, post-test, and retention).
RESULTS: The results indicated significant improvements for the adult groups (self-control and yoked). The groups of children did not show improvements in performance over the evaluation times, but there was a difference between the groups in retention, with the GSC performing better compared to the GYC.
CONCLUSION: It is concluded that self-controlled feedback has different effects between children and adults.

Published: October 2024

Bitcoin'in popülaritesinin artması ile ölçeklendirme sorunları da kaçınılmaz hale gelmektedir. Blok boyutu sınırlamaları ve işlem ücretlerindeki artış, tartışmalara yol açmakta ve alternatif çözüm arayışlarını tetiklemektedir. Ethereum, Bitcoin'in sınırlı işlevselliğini aşmak ve akıllı sözleşmeler gibi daha karmaşık işlevler sağlamak amacıyla tasarlanmıştır. Ancak Ethereum ağının yaygın olarak benimsenmesi, ağın hız ve/veya maliyetten ödün vermeden artan işlem hacmini sürdürebilmekte zorlanmasına neden olmuştur. Bu zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için, Optimistik Rollup gibi katman-2 ölçeklendirme çözümleri geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Ethereum ağının ölçeklenebilirlik zorluklarını ve katman-2 ölçeklendirme çözümlerinden Arbitrum ile Optimism'in ölçeklenebilirlik üzerindeki etkilerini ele almaktadır. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre, Arbitrum ve Optimism'ın etkinleştirilmesi sonrasında Ethereum hem günlük ortalama işlem sayılarında hem de ortalama işlem ücretlerinde bir artış meydana gelmektedir. Bu bulgular, Arbitrum ve Optimism gibi katman-2 çözümlerinin Ethereum ağının ölçeklenebilirliğini artırma ve işlem maliyetlerini azaltma potansiyeli hususunda başarılı olmadığını göstermektedir.

Abstract
Frailty is a clinical syndrome that increases vulnerability, potentially leading to disability or death. The pre-frail phase is ideal for preventing frailty and improving quality-adjusted life years, particularly through physical exercises that reduce the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment. Multicomponent exercises, such as the Vivifrail Exercise Program, may enhance cognitive function and daily independence by preventing and mitigating frailty through tailored routines. However, its impact on cognitive function in pre-frail elderly people had not been well studied. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Vivifrail Exercise Program Type C on the cognitive function of pre-frail elderly people. This study was a quasi-experiment with a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The sample was chosen by the quota sampling method. Twenty-seven subjects were analyzed, comprising 16 individuals in the exercise group and 11 individuals in the control group. The exercise group participated in the Vivivfrail Type C Exercise Program, with 45-minute sessions conducted biweekly for 12 weeks. The evaluated parameters included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Indonesian Version (MoCA-INA) and the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA). The statistical analysis utilized the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the post-hoc Mann-Whitney test and independent t-test (p<0.05). A path analysis was performed using simple linear regression. The subjects' average ages were 72.2 years in the control group and 67.47 years in the exercise group. The Vivifrail Exercises Program Type C significantly improved the MoCA-INA scores from 20.25 to 24.06. It also increased the LOTCA scores in several domains, i.e., thinking operations and visual perception. The exercise group demonstrated more improvement than the control group (p=0.032). An enhancement in cognitive function was particularly observed in elderly women with pre-frailty. In conclusion, the Vivifrail Exercise Program Type C can help improve the cognitive function of the elderly within the community.
Emotional resilience and well-being in employability of nurses: a “Triangular Theory of Love’’ approach
Authors: Joy George V. , Nashwan Abdulqadir J.
Published: October 2024

This short communication explores the role of emotional resilience in the employability of nurses, utilizing Robert Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love to offer a distinctive perspective. This paper proposes that the components of love—intimacy, passion, and commitment—can be metaphorically associated with the qualities essential for resilience in nursing. It argues that these elements enhance nurses’ ability to handle the demands of their profession, thereby supporting their employability and well-being. The strategies highlighted include strengthening emotional support networks (intimacy), fostering engagement (passion), and promoting professional dedication (commitment). Applying Sternberg’s theory in this context provides a novel approach to understanding the intricacies of emotional resilience in the nursing field, suggesting that deeper emotional engagement in one’s work is vital for a resilient and fulfilling career.

Currently, there is an increasing interest to develop eco-friendly and efficient pigment extraction processes for diverse applications. In this study, we report the comparison between the assisted extraction performed by ultrasonication and microwave with a conventional method to obtain cochineal pigments from Dactylopius coccus Costa. Our independent variables were solvent amount, temperature and irradiation time, and the corresponding optimization was performed by three factors and three levels with a Box-Behnken design. The pigment contents were quanti-fied through UV-vis spectroscopy, and the pigment mixture of extracts was assessed by infrared spectroscopy. It is highlighted that after optimization, the extraction assisted by ultrasound gave a yield of 47% with an efficiency of 31.3 mg/min, whereas the yield obtained from the extraction assisted by microwave was 41% with 27.3 mg/min efficiency, both higher that the efficiency ob-tained with a conventional method (3.5 mg/ml).

Background. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex condition marked by increased pain sensitivity and central sensitization. Studies often explore the link between FM and depressive-anxiety disorders, but few focus on dysthymia or persistent depressive disorder (PDD), which can be more disabling than major depression (MD). Objective. To identify clinical scales and subscales of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) that effectively describe and differentiate the psychological profile of PDD, with or without comorbid MD, in FM patients with PDD previously dimensionally classified by the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory III (MCMI-III). Method. An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 66 women (mean age 49.18, SD=8.09) from Hospital del Mar. The PAI, the MCMI-III, and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) were used to assess the sample. Results. The PAI showed strong discriminative ability in detecting PDD, characterized by high scores in cognitive and emotional depression, and low scores in identity alteration, dominance, and grandeur. High scores in cognitive, emotional, and physiological depression, identity alteration, cognitive anxiety, and suicidal ideation, along with low scores in dominance and grandeur, were needed to detect MD with PDD. Discriminant analysis could differentiate 69.6-73.9% of the PDD group and 84.6% of the PDD+MD group. Group comparisons showed that 72.2% of patients with an affective disorder by PAI were correctly classified in the MCMI-III affective disorder group, and 70% without affective disorder were correctly classified. Conclusions. The PAI effectively identifies PDD in FM patients and detects concurrent MD episodes, aiding in better prognostic and therapeutic guidance.

Senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) is a particular expression profile portrayed by senescent cells, which includes the secretion of cytokines, proteases, and chemokines, among other signalling molecules, exerting great influence on local as well as systemic environment which participates in cell senescence, immunoregulation, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, tumor invasion, etc. We performed a clinic-pathological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis with the aim of studying the association between the different histological characteristics of craniopharyngioma, the effects of OMF exposure and its potential role in the induction of SASP. We observed that cells of the outer epithelium can secrete lipoproteins and glycoproteins into the external tumor environment, inducing an intense inflammatory response. Neoplastic cells protrude out of the tumor and are able to grow rapidly and form wet keratin, which calcifies afterward. This limited growth ability is acquired by interacting with the aforementioned growth factors, proinflammatory molecules, angioblast and fibroblast activation, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and brain invasion, associated with glycoproteins secretion of tumor cells associated with SASP.
