Melanopic spatiotemporal vision
Authors:   , Nugent Thomas William
Published: February 2024

This thesis presents the first characterisation of the spatial and temporal visual response of the melanopsin photopigment in the human eye. To measure the spatiotemporal response of a single-photoreceptor class, a novel five-primary display and psychophysical methodology was developed which can perform pixel-by-pixel, five-photoreceptor silent substitution. The outcomes show that melanopic-mediated visual responses, independent of the canonical rod and cone pathways, can perceive spatiotemporal patterns at lower frequencies but which does not translate to conscious form vision. Melanopsin’s role is therefore to signal broad and slow visual information, creating the background upon which cone vision fills in the details.

Published: February 2024

Allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction that arises due to exposure to allergens. Allergens will bind to IgE attached to mast cells and cause these cells to release various chemicals in the blood. One of them is, histamine which causes most allergic reactions. Allergic reactions can cause inflammation or inflammation. Inflammatory stimulation will later stimulate the release of C-Reactive Protein (CRP). CRP is an inflammatory maker that is produced and synthesized in the liver. Ketepeng leaf infusion has the potential to stimulate an immune response because it contains chemical compounds, namely alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, and anthracino. Flavonoids contained in this plant function to provide anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antioxidant and antifungal effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of ketepeng leaves (Cassia alata L) by examining CRP (C-Reactive Protein) levels in Ovalbumin-allergic mice (Mus musculus). This type of research is Univariate, which is a method for making an overview of the state of the object being examined through data or sampling samples. The results of this study found that in group 2 after being given ovalbumin, CRP levels increased by 181.33 mg/L and in group 3, after being given ketepeng leaf infusion, CRP levels decreased by 48 mg/L. The conclusion of this study is that ketepeng leaf infusion can reduce CRP levels in mice with ovalbumin allergy and there is an effect of increasing CRP levels in mice given ovalbumin of 181.33 mg/L and a decrease in CRP levels after the treatment of ketepeng leaf infusion of 48 mg/L .

Проведено дилатометрическое исследование бейнитного превращения в стали 20Х2Г2СНМА при изотермической выдержке в температурном интервале 280–380 °С. Определена кинетика процесса образования бейнита, установлены значения коэффициентов k, n уравнения Остина-Риккета, удовлетворительно описывающего экспериментальные кривые. При помощи рентгеноструктурного анализа выполнена оценка количества остаточного аустенита в структуре стали после изотермической закалки. Показано, что при температуре выдержки 320 °С и выше содержание углерода в остаточном аустените удовлетворительно согласуется с теоретически предсказанными значениями, а при температуре выдержки ниже 320 °С наблюдается расхождение, связанное с менее интенсивным протеканием бейнитного превращения и перераспределения углерода. Установлена корреляция между ударной вязкостью исследованной стали, количеством бейнита, остаточного аустенита и содержанием в нем углерода. Показано, что с увеличением доли бейнита в процессе изотермической выдержки количество остаточного аустенита в стали увеличивается, а содержание в нем углерода уменьшается, что негативно сказывается на ударной вязкости стали.

A dilatometric study of the bainite transformation in 20Kh2G2SNMA steel during isothermal holding in the temperature range of 280–380 °C was carried out. The kinetics of the bainite transformation is determined, the values of the coefficients k, n of the Austin-Rickett equation are established. The fraction of retained austenite in the steel structure after isothermal hardening was estimated using X-ray diffraction analysis. It is shown that at 320 °C and higher the carbon content in retained austenite is in satisfactory agreement with the theoretically predicted values, and below 320 °C, there is a discrepancy associated with slower bainite transformation and carbon partitioning. A correlation has been established between the impact strength, the fraction of bainite and retained austenite, and the carbon content in the latter. It is shown that with an increase in the fraction of bainite during isothermal holding, the fraction of retained austenite in steel increases, and the carbon content in it decreases, which negatively affects the impact strength of steel.

Published: February 2024

This article investigates population growth as a cause of human development in Zambia from 1992-2022, with the substantive objective being to examine whether population growth causes income inequality, poverty and unemployment in Zambia. The study was built on two theories: Malthusian theory of population and demographic transition theory. It employed a mixed research method, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative data. Using the granger causality as the estimation technique specifically utilized the Vector Autoregressive model and correlation tests; the results show that population growth causes human development and poverty. Furthermore, that population growth does not cause income inequality and unemployment in Zambia. The study recommends that the government of Zambia invests in Research, Development and Technology so as to be in touch with the needs of the people, equally investing in education and health infrastructure and human resource, and be deliberate about setting up manufacturing industries and revamping existing ones.
O BEIJO DE CHARLES FOURIER: A UTOPIA DE UM GÊNIO ESQUECIDO
Authors: Rossi Marco
Published: February 2024

Charles Fourier (1772-1837) is an almost forgotten author from a rich tradition of ideas. The so-called utopian socialism – a designation that became popular long after his writings – owes to him the pioneering tones of acidic criticism of bourgeois civilization. Fourier directed his intellectual eccentricity against the pettiness of a world that puts everything and everyone on sale and at low prices, recovering the courage that has been so lacking in these times of accommodation of old ideals and reflux of revolutionary hearts. Fourier, therefore, deserves, for the sake of the utopias to come, a visit that is as critical as it is passionate.

Decoding The Covert Messages in Advertising: A Semiotics Case Study of Navi Mumbai
Authors: Kangan Dave, Swarali Rao Peri Nimisha Rajasri, Aahna Garg,
Published: February 2024

Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols, and how they are used to communicate meaning. It helps advertisers understand how different signs and symbols are interpreted by consumers of different groups. This helps companies in framing messages which can easily convey the exact message to the right target customers and audience. Signs include various colors, shapes, and images to evoke feelings as each of these is associated with specific emotions and feelings. The proper usage of the colors and symbols creates an impact and the advertisement is registered in the audience’s mind.

Semiotics gives marketers an effective medium to communicate the meaning past words, utilizing signs and images that help in creating a brand identity and generate brand recall amongst the people. By utilizing components such as logos, colors, and symbolism, marketers make a visual impact that rises above phonetic clutter and encourages prompt acknowledgment. This enhances brand review and differentiation in an increasingly cluttered advertising scene.

 

Semiotics plays a significant part within the domain of how shoppers see and decipher brand messages. This study aims to study its significant impact on shopper behavior, brand personality, and social reverberation.

The study has been carried out in and around Navi Mumbai. Respondents mainly comprised marketing students, teachers and professionals among others. To understand the preference of consumers in depth, various tests like Chi Square, Anova, regression analysis and t tests were carried out by the researchers. Primarily, they reveal that consumer preference varies across age groups and various elements of semiotics have an impact on brand recognition. The managerial implications of each of the tested objectives have been discussed in detail further in the paper.

Published: February 2024

Various hematological abnormalities including coagulation factor abnormalities, leukocytosis, acute hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy have been reported in acute pancreatitis patients. The purpose of this descriptive cross - sectional study was to describe characteristics of coagulation disorders in 96 children with acute pancreatitis at the Vietnam National Children's Hospital. rom January 2022 to March 2023. Results showed that the mean age of children was 6.2 ± 3.2 years old, and the boy to girl ratio was 1.2 to 1, 69.8% of children had coagulation disorders. Of the 67 children who had abnormal coagulation tests, 64.2% had hypercoagulability, 35.8% had mixed hypercoagulability, 28.4% had fibrinolysis and 25.4% had disseminated intravascular coagulation. Most coagulation disorders cases showed no clinical manifestations and only 3.1% had thrombosis and hemorrhage. The factors associated with coagulopathy were hyperlipidemia and pancreatic necrosis. In conclusion, although coagulation disorders showed up in a high percentage of children with acute pancreatitis, they are difficult to be recognized based on clinical manifestations. This highlights the importance of early identification based on hemostasis testing, as it can lead to better overall management and treatment.
Hyperuricemia and testosterone deficiency: An underestimated correlation
Authors: Bac Nguyen Hoai , Viet Dinh Huu , Kien Tran Van
Published: February 2024

Hyperuricemia and testosterone deficiency (TD) are two relatively common conditions in clinical practice. We conducted the present study on 9573 men to evaluate the association between the two conditions and establish a hypothetic explanation. Compared with the normal group, the hyperuricemia group has lower testosterone level (14.79 ± 5.55 vs. 17.12 ± 6.24, p < 0.001) and lower LH level (5.57 ± 3.31 vs. 5.75 ± 3.21, p = 0.003). There is a weak negative correlation between testosterone and serum uric acid (SUA) after adjusting for confounding factors (Spearman's Rho = -0.2, p < 0.001). On linear regression, serum uric acid corresponds to testosterone with the formula: Testosterone = -0.015 x SUA + 22.37. We hypothesize that the mechanism underlying testosterone deficiency in hyperuricemia patients is due to an inhibition of LH release of the pituitary. Further studies are needed to examine this hypothesis.

Published: February 2024

Primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin (PMCS) is an extremely uncommon skin cancer originating from sweat glands. We present a case of a male patient diagnosed with PMCS who was initially misdiagnosed with benign sebaceous cysts. A 62-year-old male patient presented to a private clinic with a chief complaint of a slowly progressing nodule located under his lower lip for the past two years;  The nodule was locally excised . The histopathology analysis yielded a diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma with a positive circumferential margin. Reexcison was performed, and the final histopathology result was a small nest of mucinous carcinoma with a negative surgical margin. He underwent thorough investigation, including gastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, and computerized tomography (CT) scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and found no signs of primary tumor. He was discharged from our hospital and educated to follow up closely for local recurrence. This paper illustrates the rarity of this disease, its vague presentation, and a brief review of diagnosis and treatment.

Published: February 2024

Nurses play an important role in dementia care delivery in hospitals and communities. Exploring nurses’ capacity aspects in dementia care such as knowledge, attitudes, and confidence is essential for developing appropriate health professional education to achieve optimal care in different aged care facilities. This cross-sectional study aimed to describe and examine the differences in population characteristics and dementia care capacity between the nursing home and hospital nurses in Hanoi, Vietnam from January to March 2023. Data were collected using three self-administered questionnaires: The Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS), the Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS), and the Confidence in Dementia Scale (CODE). The number of nursing home and hospital nurses completing the survey was 111 and 158 respectively. There were no statistically significant difference in the mean of the total knowledge score and attitude score between the two nurse groups. Hospital nurses were more knowledgeable about the dementia pathology and health promotion, whereas nursing home nurses had a better understanding of communication and dealing with behavioral difficulties in patients, as well as having more confidence (p<0.05). Different professional training for different types of facilities should be developed and implemented to achieve qualified dementia care.
La creación e implantación de los partidos judiciales en la Rioja (1812-1834)
Authors: Díez Morrás Francisco Javier
Published: February 2024

Los partidos judiciales, regulados por primera vez en la Constitución de Cádiz, surgieron como pilar básico y necesario del nuevo sistema judicial liberal. Durante el primer período constitucional (1812-1814), su implantación fue parcial, compleja y desigual. Fue en el Trienio liberal (1820-1823) cuando se logró dividir por primera vez todo el país en partidos y nombrar jueces de primera instancia, aunque fuese provisionalmente. No obstante, la descoordinación que se produjo en ambos períodos entre las divisiones provincial y judicial, dificultó su efectividad. La división en partidos efectuada en el territorio riojano tuvo notables peculiaridades. En el primer bienio estuvo condicionada al no haberse convertido aún la Rioja en provincia política independiente, lo que ocasionó, entre otras cosas, disputas entre las localidades de Haro y Nájera por una sede judicial separada del partido de Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Los partidos judiciales riojanos del primer bienio fueron con[1]firmados en su mayor parte en 1820, pero quedaron territorialmente desajustados al crearse en 1822 la provincia de Logroño y tener que acomodar sus límites geográficos a los de la nueva provincia política. Finalmente, los partidos judiciales serían regularizados y rediseñados en España y en la Rioja en 1834, adaptándose de forma estricta a los nuevos y definitivos límites provinciales aprobados el año anterior, si bien aún no había sido recuperado el modelo político y judicial de naturaleza liberal.

La posesión de la Isla de la Pasión/Clipperton, cercana a México y disputada porFrancia, se dirimió a principios del siglo xx en un arbitraje encargado a Víctor ManuelIII. Antes, por su riqueza en guano, el pequeño e inhóspito atolón coralino había estadoocupado por compañías estadounidenses y británicas, recibiendo después a ungrupo de colonos mexicanos que murieron abandonados por las autoridades mexicanastras el estallido de la Revolución. La disputa por la isla y el arbitraje son el objetoprincipal de este artículo, en el cual, a partir de fuentes diversas (archivos diplomáticos,cartografía, prensa), se analizan personajes, cláusulas, argumentos jurídicos yopinión pública, lo que permite abordar cuestiones iushistóricas como son la naturalezade los títulos históricos sobre el territorio de la Monarquía y su posterior constitucionalización,la sustitución de la posesión simbólica por la ocupación efectiva comofundamento de los modos de adquirir la propiedad en derecho internacional, la persistenciade la argumentación historicista en el procedimiento arbitral; y el relevantelugar que, aún actualmente, ocupa la pérdida de Clipperton en el imaginario nacionalistamexicano.

Published: February 2024

Drawing on the literature on entrepreneurship and happiness, we examine the effects of individuals’ possession of and exposure to knowledge on the likelihood of engaging in different entrepreneurial stages, representing one’s lasting fulfillment and continuous engagement that drive one’s happiness. Our analyses are based on data collected for the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) from individuals located in Taiwan. Results reveal that entrepreneurial knowledge-based factors, including personal education and external networking, positively affect moving through start-up processes. Furthermore, passing different entrepreneurial stages acquires a feeling of self-fulfillment and is significantly associated with entrepreneurs’ happiness, meaning happiness belongs to perseverance. These findings offer important theoretical and practical implications.
