Published: October 2023

У будівельній галузі, використання будівельних 3D принтерів радіального типу стає все більш популярним. Ці інноваційні принтери вже успішно застосовуються в п’яти країнах світу. Вони дозволяють зменшити витрати людських, енергетичних і часових ресурсів, в порівнянні з традиційними методами будівництва. Радіальні принтери компактні й не потребують додаткових каркасних конструкцій. Якість та швидкість будівництва залежать від працездатності принтера та точності його позиціонування. Дослідники активно працюють над вдосконаленням цих параметрів, з метою поліпшення результатів будівництва. Керування висотою підйому платформи грає важливу роль у досягненні високої точності позиціонування принтера, враховуючи вимоги до якості будівництва. Для ефективного розв’язання цих завдань застосовуються передові інформаційні технології, такі як імітаційне моделювання, автоматизоване керування. Результати експериментів і досліджень використовуються для вдосконалення функціональних характеристик системи підйому будівельного принтера і можуть бути застосовані при розробці систем керування для інших підйомних механізмів, таких як гідравлічний підйомник, гідравлічний прес або телескопічний вантажний кран. Основною метою проведення досліджень є підвищення точності позиціювання платформи будівельного принтера в умовах дії збурень. У рамках роботи було проведено аналіз технологічних параметрів об’єкта керування, сформульовано вимоги до регуляторів, розроблена імітаційна модель системи підйому та налаштовані регулятори моделі позиціонування платформи. Результатом дослідження є опрацювання методики структурно параметричного синтезу керуючих пристроїв позиціонуванням платформи будівельного принтера.
Are female secondary school teachers in Bangladesh becoming digitally empowered or disempowered? An exploratory analysis of the impact of digital empowerment on professional development
Authors: Sharmin Nahar
Published: October 2023

Differences in access, skills, and usage of digital technology between men and women have resulted in an unequal experience in using digital technology in changing work environments, especially in education, which is expressed as the gender digital divide. This divide serves as a barrier to digital empowerment and tends to be wider in developing countries. However, there is a scarcity of literature on digital empowerment among female teachers at the secondary school level. Therefore, based on Makinen’s (2006) perspective, this study investigated digital empowerment among Bangladeshi teachers with respect to gender-based differences. Data on the four components of digital empowerment mentioned by Makinen were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire from a random sample of 326 respondents, along with the qualitative method of an in-depth interview and focused group discussion from three city corporations: Dhaka, Khulna,and Rajshahi, according to their digital divide rates. The findings reveal that both overall awareness and technical access status are satisfactory. Yet, female teachers lacked significant intrinsic motivation and computer abilities to perform specific tasks. Findings also revealed that empowered women had better levels of professional capabilities, self-confidence, and more Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based pedagogy. Female teachers should be recognized and encouraged in institutional programs to promote digital empowerment and reduce the digital divide between genders.
Sobre la Destrucción de Monumentos en el Eje Santiago/Providencia
Authors: Ocampo Alex , Costa Donoso Bruno , Soto Lagos Rodrigo
Published: October 2023

Durante la primavera del 2019, fue común la destrucción de monumentos en manifestaciones ligadas al «descontento social» en Chile. Desde el fin de la conquista no hay registros de ese tipo de actos. Desde el «Estallido Social», más de dos mil monumentos resultaron con algún tipo de impacto. Es importante entender la conceptualización que la legislación vigente da a los monumentos y también responder cuáles son los desafíos para el municipio en relación con la temática de los monumentos, asimismo, algunos lineamientos en relación con la consideración de Plaza Baquedano como frontera social. Para dar un sustento teórico a la problemática se utilizarán algunos principios del «deconstruccionismo», debido a que las estructuras, instituciones y modelos sociales permanentemente se reinventan (Hueman, 2003).

Published: October 2023

Reading interest is an important aspect of middle school students' intellectual and academic development. However, in some schools, including SMPN 2 Babelan, students’ reading interests tend to decline. In addition, the development of information and communication technology (ICT) in the current era is accelerating significantly, with the use of IT as a solution to enhance students' interest in reading, especially Deploy digital library. This service activity aims to establish a digital library at SMPN 2 Babelan to enhance students' interest in reading. Digital library is an information technology-based platform that provides easy and quick access to various learning resources in digital form. The data collection methods used were through interviews, observations, and diaries. Research results show that the digital library has begun to increase students' interest in reading at SMP Negeri 2 Babelan, because it cannot be denied that students now use mobile phones more than books. Thanks to the digital library it will be easier for students to read it whenever and wherever they want. Therefore, it is hoped that using digital libraries to increase students' interest in reading will be more effective and efficient.

On December 31, 2019, the WHO (World Health Organization) receives the report of a cluster of cases of pneumonia with unknown etiology in the city of Wuhan, capital of Hubei province and a month later, exactly on January 7, the Chinese authorities identify the etiological agent responsible for the onset of these mysterious pneumonias: it is the SARS-Cov-2, a virus belonging to the family of coronaviruses never identified before and responsible for a disease that shortly after will be named “COVID-19”. In the last period more and more physicians and researchers are talking about “Long Covid” or “Post Covid”, which occurs when a patient continues to manifest one or more symptoms had in the disease even months after the negativity.
In the coronavirus emergency physiotherapy has had and continues to have a very important role in taking care of patients who, recovered from the disease, need an individualized path of recovery of respiratory and motor rehabilitation, to prevent complications of all kinds and, in general, improve the quality of life.
Co-Design of Wireless Networked Control Systems: a Reliable and Resource-Efficient Approach
Authors: Ashraf Kanwal , LeMoullec yannick , Pardy Tamas , Rang Toomas
Published: October 2023

In this research, we provide a co-design strategy for WNCS that simultaneously optimizes network and control parameters. The goal is to optimize power use on the wireless communication layer by establishing a variable inter-packet gap (IPG) or by transforming the control strategy from reliable control to energy-efficient control with moderate reliability. Control performance is optimized for moderate to high packet loss using an RL-based technique that guarantees optimal resource allocation. The design of a multi-objective issue that takes into account both dependability and resource efficiency makes this possible. The developed approach is then applied to the multi-objective optimization problem. The suggested co-design RL-based control approach shows the ability to reduce transmission power by an average of 5% to 10% even when there are losses in the network. In addition, it effectively preserves or enhances control performance.
Quantum-Enabled Discrete Distribution Sampling for Post-Quantum Lattice-Based Cryptography
Authors: Banerjee Utsav
Published: October 2023

Lattice-based cryptography is considered the most promising candidate for post-quantum public key cryptography such as key encapsulation and digital signature schemes. Accurate and efficient sampling of matrix / vector elements and polynomial coefficients from specified discrete probability distributions is crucial to the security and efficiency of lattice-based cryptography protocols. In this work, a design methodology is proposed to implement these sampling operations using currently available quantum computing hardware. Quantum circuits for sampling from uniform, trinary, binomial and discrete Gaussian distributions are presented. Implementation results obtained from simulation as well as measured from real cloud-based quantum hardware are also presented and analyzed. Although the proposed circuits require only few qubits, they implement practical distribution parameters used by various lattice-based protocols. This clearly demonstrates the immediate relevance of such quantum circuits in the context of currently available small-scale quantum computers, and they have the potential to enhance post-quantum cryptography implementations on quantum-enabled cloud environments.
A Framework for Migration of Microservices based Applications to Serverless Platform with Efficient Cold Start Latency
Authors: Raj Vinay
Published: October 2023

Serverless computing has become a very popular cloud-based solution for designing, testing and deploying the applications as serverless functions. Serverless computing has become a buzzword in both industry and academia as many large IT giants have rolled out their own serverless platforms. Independent design, deployment and auto scalability are its major features with Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) as its popular implementation. On the other hand, microservices are an emerging trend for design of large enterprise applications as many companies like Amazon, Uber and Spotify have already migrated their existing applications to microservices style. However, with the advent of serverless platforms, to design efficient applications with simpler infrastructure management, reduced operational overhead and cost factor, migrating microservices to serverless has become inevitable. Additionally, existing studies report that serverless platforms suffer from cold start latency. Therefore, in this paper, a framework is proposed which has two phases: (i) an empirical investigation to find out the impact of programming language on the cold start of serverless functions and (ii) an approach for migration of microservices to serverless platforms. The evaluation results help us to identify the platform with low cold start latency and also recommend the choice of programming language with lower latency. After migrating the containerized microservices to serverless, a comparison in terms of performance is conducted. The applications designed as serverless functions exhibit better response time and throughput compared to containerized microservices.

Authors: Chen XiaoHua , Han Yao , Zhang Xiao
Published: October 2023

The current payment pressure on the basic pension fund of Jiangxi Province in China is continuously increasing, and what impact will the upcoming delayed retirement policy have on the payment capacity of this province’s pension fund? This study evaluates the impact of two representative delayed retirement policies on the payment capacity of the basic pension fund in Jiangxi Province using actuarial methods. We found that delayed retirement is beneficial for improving the current and cumulative balances of the pension fund, significantly improving the future payment capacity of the pension fund. Moreover, the favorable effect of delayed scheme 2 is stronger than that of scheme 1. Given the favorable effects of the delayed retirement, the Chinese government should seize the time to formulate feasible delayed retirement policies to enhance the sustainable operation ability of the basic pension fund and ensure the timely and full payment of pension benefits for retirees.

Published: October 2023

Thumb polydactyly, also known as radial polydactyly, is the prevailing manifestation of polydactyly. Its existence has been documented in the hand literature from Digby's initial description in 1645. Preaxial polydactyly, specifically bifid thumb, has been extensively observed, with a frequency ranging from 0.08 to 1.4 per 1000 live births. Traditionally, radial polydactyly is classified into three distinct categories: severe hypoplasia, partial duplication, and entire duplication, which can sometimes be mistaken for pseudo duplication. The classification system developed by Wassel has emerged as the widely accepted standard for the categorization of thumb polydactyly. The classifications of surgical treatment procedures are associated with variations. Thumb duplication is categorized as a "duplication" (group 3) in the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH)/Swanson classification of congenital malformations of the hand and upper limb. The objective of surgical reconstruction is to achieve a thumb that is both stable and mobile, while also possessing appropriate dimensions and form. The prevailing method of reconstruction often involves the excision of the minor digit followed by the subsequent reconstruction of the major digit. Surgical procedures aim to rectify issues pertaining to deviation, instability, and insufficient dimensions. Moreover, it is worth noting that a significant proportion of instances will necessitate an additional intervention in order to enhance the cosmetic and/or functional result.

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare hematologic malignancy that has historically been treated with lymphoma-based regimens with a median survival of 6 months. We describe a case of a 51-year-old woman who presented with acute back pain and cord compression. She was diagnosed with HS with diffuse skeletal lesions and high expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). She was subsequently treated with chemotherapy plus off-label use of pembrolizumab followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Ultimately, the patient died in the setting of progression of disease 17 months after her stem cell transplantation and 26 months after her diagnosis. This article also presents a literature review of cases of HS treated with programmed death ligand inhibition.

La paradoja de la habitabilidad y el sentido de las relaciones socio-espaciales en urbanizaciones cerradas
Authors: Organista-Camacho Mariel , Félix-Lugo Lizeth Guadalupe
Published: October 2023

La segregación socio-espacial derivada del crecimiento urbano acelerado apunta a una transformación del hábitat. El objetivo es analizar la habitabilidad en urbanizaciones cerradas. Se utilizó un enfoque metodológico cuantitativo que consideró el uso de un instrumento de medición en campo: a) Cuestionario de percepción de las relaciones socio-espaciales suscitadas en el fraccionamiento y la ciudad; en torno a cuatro variables de la habitabilidad urbana: 1) las relaciones socio-espaciales, 2) interacción social, 3) cohesión social y 4) conectividad. Se aplicaron 107 encuestas durante 2016-2019 en el caso de estudio en Ensenada, México. Los resultados evidenciaron que el entorno condiciona e impone un modo de “estar” en el espacio habitable sin satisfacer las dimensiones de: identidad, participación, seguridad, interacción, legibilidad y conectividad. El estudio complejo de las relaciones socio-espaciales en fraccionamientos evidencia una posible integración urbana que deviene lugares socialmente habitables. La contribución de esta investigación radica en la explicación del fenómeno de la habitabilidad urbana en fraccionamientos cerrados a partir de la definición de fundamentos e indicadores que evidencien el impacto de lo urbano en la regeneración de las relaciones socio-espaciales. Esta investigación impacta en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ods) de Salud y Bienestar (ods 3), Reducción de las desigualdades (ods 10), y Ciudades y comunidades sostenibles (ods 11).

El círculo vivencial y la voluntad de sentido: implicancias educativas
Authors: Chacón-Mattos Modesto
Published: October 2023

La globalización y el veloz desarrollo de la tecnología caracterizan hoy nuestras sociedades. Esta situación conlleva la aparición de nuevos estilos de vida, nuevas formas de percibir el mundo y a la persona misma. La tecnología establece parámetros de comunicación en los que el uso de la misma es lo funcional. La educación tiende a ser impartida de manera virtual. Se busca la comodidad a través del menor esfuerzo. La persona humana, inmersa en esta intensa y agitada actividad, experimenta cambios que pueden deshumanizarla y hacerle perder el sentido de la vida. En este contexto la educación debe consolidar su función formativa y no ser solamente un medio informativo; debe ser guía para el crecimiento espiritual de la persona. Las corrientes antropológicas, filosóficas y psicológicas que Philipp Lersch (1898-1972) y Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) apoyan la acción educativa y posibilitan el hecho de que las personas no se deshumanicen, sino que se humanicen más al encontrar el sentido de vida necesario para trascender y liderar los cambios que la sociedad necesita. Lersch lo procura a través del constructo teórico del círculo vivencial, que facilita el contacto del yo con el mundo; Frankl, con la logoterapia.
Abolition and Plantation Management in Jamaica, 1807-1838
Authors: Gosse Dave St. Aubyn
Published: October 2023

The British Parliament’s decision to abolish the slave trade in 1807 had disastrous implications for plantation societies, such as Jamaica, in regards to the health and the labour of the enslaved population. Many of the Jamaican sugar planters could not accept the fact that the 1807 Abolition Act was a watershed moment which demanded a more conciliatory form of management and a willingness to implement critical labour reforms, such as task work. The failure to introduce these necessary internal reforms resulted in the continuing decline in the plantations’ crude production figures and in their productivity levels, despite the introduction of steam engines on many estates. The numerical strength of the enslaved population was also decreasing, and most important the health of the enslaved Africans was seriously declining. The planters’ failure to also eliminate their ambiguous management structure further hastened their own demise and the profitability of slavery in Jamaica.
The Variation of Chinese Literature and the Formation of World Literature
Authors: CAO Shunqing , ZHAI Lu
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In "The Variation of Chinese Literature and the Formation of World Literature" Shunqing Cao and Lu Zhai discuss how Chinese works of literature entered other countries' literary circles through variation, and became an essential part of world literature.
Both ancient Chinese literature and contemporary Chinese literature have undergone textual circulation, language translation and cultural filtering before becoming part of world literature, all of which are the reasons why literary variation occurs. According to Cao and Zhai, the occurrence
of variation is a key factor for Chinese literature to become world literature, and an important foundation for the formation of world literature. A country's literature absorbs the characteristics of other countries' literature through variation, thus adapting to the cultural background and
reading habits of other countries' readers in terms of language and style, in order to enter the world literature market. Variation may lead to a certain loss of nationality in literary works, and result in significant differences from the original texts. However, the formation of world literature
does not come at the cost of eliminating nationality; variation facilitates the formation of world literature.
Canonization and Variations of Shakespeare’s Work in China
Authors: YANG Qing
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In “Canonization and Variations of Shakespeare's Work in China,” Qing Yang discusses the role of cross-linguistic and inter-cultural variations with regard to William Shakespeare's intercultural travel and canonization in China. In the context of globalization,
Shakespeare's texts outside Western cultures undergo cross-national, cross-linguistic and inter-cultural variations in the process of translation. From a symbol of Western powers and cultures to a bearer of Confucianism, a fighter for the survival of the nation during the anti-Japanese struggle,
and to a literary master with abundant possibilities of interpretation and adaption today, Shakespeares (in the plural to indicate the multiple texts of Shakespeare) change and vary in modern and contemporary China. The inter-cultural communication of Shakespeare with clear markings of Chinese
culture and history progresses through variation. Yang argues that it is the paradigm of Shunqing Cao’s variation theory central to the formations of world literature(s) that has facilitated the canonization of Shakespeare’s work in China.

Reactive and proactive control processes in voluntary task choice
Authors: Mittelstädt Victor , Mackenzie Ian G. , Braun David A. , Arrington Catherine M.
Published: October 2023

Deciding which task to perform when multiple tasks are available can be influenced by external influences in the environment. In the present study, we demonstrate that such external biases on task-choice behavior reflect reactive control adjustments instead of a failure in control to internally select a task goal. Specifically, in two experiments we delayed the onset of one of two task stimuli by a short (50 ms), medium (300 ms), or long (1,000 ms) stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) within blocks while also varying the relative frequencies of short versus long SOAs across blocks (i.e., short SOA frequent vs. long SOA frequent). Participants’ task choices were increasingly biased towards selecting the task associated with the first stimulus with increasing SOAs. Critically, both experiments also revealed that the short-to-medium SOA bias was larger in blocks with more frequent long SOAs when participants had limited time to prepare for an upcoming trial. When time to select an upcoming task was extended in Experiment 2, this interaction was not significant, suggesting that the extent to which people rely on reactive control adjustments is additionally modulated by proactive control processes. Thus, the present findings also suggest that voluntary task choices are jointly guided by both proactive and reactive processes, which are likely to adjust the relative activation of different task goals in working memory.
manymome: An R package for computing the indirect effects, conditional effects, and conditional indirect effects, standardized or unstandardized, and their bootstrap confidence intervals, in many (though not all) models
Authors: Cheung Shu Fai , Cheung Sing-Hang
Published: October 2023

Mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation are common in behavioral research models. Several tools are available for estimating indirect effects, conditional effects, and conditional indirect effects and forming their confidence intervals. However, there are no simple-to-use tools that can appropriately form the bootstrapping confidence interval for standardized conditional indirect effects. Moreover, some tools are restricted to a limited type of models. We developed an R package, manymome, which can be used to estimate and form confidence intervals for indirect effects, conditional effects, and conditional indirect effects, standardized or not, using a two-step approach: model parameters are estimated either by structural equation modeling using lavaan or by a set of linear regression models using lm, and then the coefficients are used to compute the requested effects and form confidence intervals. It can be used when there are missing data if the model is fitted by structural equation modeling. There are only a few limitations on some aspects of a model, and no inherent limitations on the number of predictors, the number of independent variables, or the number of moderators and mediators. The goal is to have a tool that allows researchers to focus on model fitting first and worry about estimating the effects later. The use of the model is illustrated using a few numerical examples, and the limitations of the package are discussed.

Aim: Although blood group antigens were initially identified as erythrocyte surface antigens and their significance was mainly ascribed to serology, it soon became evident that these antigens are widely distributed in human tissues such as platelets. Immunthrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by a low platelet count. In our study, we investigated the relationship between ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood groups and primary ITP.

Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at our center with 304 patients diagnosed with primary ITP and 491 blood donors.

Results: ABO phenotype in patients group A, B, O, AB were 42.8%, 14.1%, 34.9%, 8.2%, respectively and 51.6%, 8.1%, 27.9%, 12.4% in the control group, respectively. Rh phenotype in patients group positive or negative 87.5%, 12.5 % respectively and 88.8%, 11.2% in the control group, respectively. A total of 304 patients with primary ITP, consisting of 203 (66.8%) females, and 101(33,2%) males were included in this study. The mean age was 49,5 ±18 years. There was no significant difference in the distribution of ABO blood types and Rh factor by gender (respectively p=0.176, p= 0.195).

Conclusion: In our study, no significant difference was found between the blood group distribution in the population and the blood group distribution of patients diagnosed with primary ITP.

Aim: Nucleolus has been shown as a prognostic parameter in many cancer types. In this study, we showed that the nucleolus score may provide more objective FIGO grading in endometrial cancers (ECs). We examined the role of nucleolus score in predicting treatment and prognosis in ECs.

Material and Methods: The presence of nucleoli were scored as 1, 2 and 3 in curettage materials. The relationship between this value and clinicopathological parameters was examined.

Results: Nucleolus score was associated with FIGO grade, myometrial invasion and lymphovascular invasion. The nucleolus score, which has the potential for objective evaluation,was found as an independent risk factor for disease-free survival (DFS) as well as there was an association between nucleolus score and DFS.

Conclusion: Nucleolus score was associated with better prognosis in ECs. It can be evaluated objectively with no need of requiring extra cost and time. Thus, adding nucleolus score in FIGO grading can provide more reliable prediction in prognosis and choice of the treatment method.

Aim: In endovascular surgery, knowing the morphometry of the aortic arch increases the success of surgery. The aim of this study was to examine the angle and morphometry of aortic arch in COVID 19 patients and to compare these with healthy individuals to find out the effect of the disease on the vessel.

Material and Methods: A total of 120 individuals - 60 COVID 19 (30 females, 30 males) patients and 60 healthy (30 females, 30 males) individuals participated in the study. In the study, the parameters of aortic arch angle (AAA), aortic arch diameter (AAD), aortic arch (AA) branches of brachiocephalic trunk diameter (BTD), left common carotid artery diameter (LCCAD), left subclavian artery diameter (LSAD), transverse superior thoracic aperture length (TR-STAL) and anteroposterior superior thoracic aperture length (AP-STAL), transverse inferior thoracic aperture length (TR-ITAL) and anteroposterior inferior thoracic aperture length (AP-ITAL) were measured from thoracic computed tomography images.

Results: As a result of the study, when female and male patients with COVID-19 were compared, LCCAD, LSAD, AP-ITAL, TR-ITAL values were found to be higher in favour of male patients. While Proximal AAD, BTD, LCCAD and LSAD values were higher in female patients with COVID 19 when compared with control group female patients, Proximal AAD, BTD, LCCAD, LSAD, AP-STAL, TR-STAL, AP-ITAL, TR-ITAL values were higher in male patients with COVID 19 when compared with control group male patients. When the measurements of COVID 19 and control group individuals were compared, Proximal AAD, BTD, ACCS, LSAD, TR-STAL, AP-ITAL and TR-ITAL values were found to be higher in favour of COVID 19 patients.

Conclusion: COVID 19 is an important disease that causes dilatation of the AA and its branches. We think that diseases that can change oxygen saturation such as COVID19 can change aortic morphology.

The formation mechanism of globular clusters (GCs) has long been debated by astronomers. It was recently proposed that supersonically induced gas objects (SIGOs)–which formed in the early Universe due to the supersonic relative motion of baryons and dark matter at recombination–could be the progenitors of early GCs. In order to become GCs, SIGOs must form stars relatively efficiently despite forming outside of dark matter halos. We investigate the potential for star formation in SIGOs using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, including the aforementioned relative motions of baryons and dark matter, molecular hydrogen cooling in primordial gas clouds, and explicit star formation. We find that SIGOs do form stars and that the nascent star clusters formed through this process are accreted by dark matter halos on short timescales (∼a few hundred megayears). Thus, SIGOs may be found as intact substructures within these halos, analogous to many present-day GCs. From this result, we conclude that SIGOs are capable of forming star clusters with similar properties to globular clusters in the early Universe, and we discuss their detectability by upcoming JWST surveys.
The Origin of Jupiter’s Obliquity
Authors: Dbouk Rola , Wisdom Jack
Published: October 2023

The origin of the 3.°12 obliquity of Jupiter’s spin axis to its orbit normal is unknown. Improved estimates of Jupiter’s moment of inertia rule out a previously proposed explanation involving a resonance with the precession of the inclined orbit of Uranus. We find that a nonadiabatic crossing of the resonance between Jupiter’s spin precession and the −f

6 mode could have tilted Jupiter to its present-day obliquity starting from a 0° primordial obliquity. This places constraints on the migration rates of the satellites Ganymede and Callisto.

The marine ribbon worm genus Tetranemertes Chernyshev, 1992 currently includes three species: the type species T. antonina (Quatrefages, 1846) from the Mediterranean Sea, T. rubrolineata (Kirsteuer, 1965) from Madagascar, and T. hermaphroditica (Gibson, 1982) from Australia. Seven new species are described: T. bifrostsp. nov., T. ocelatasp. nov., T. majinbuuisp. nov., and T. pastafariensissp. nov. from the Caribbean Sea (Panamá), and three species, T. unistriatasp. nov., T. paulayisp. nov., and T. arabicasp. nov., from the Indo-West Pacific (Japan and Oman). As a result, an amended morphological diagnosis of the genus is offered. To improve nomenclatural stability, a neotype of Tetranemertes antonina is designated from the Mediterranean. The newly described species, each characterized by features of external appearance and stylet apparatus, as well as by DNA-barcodes, form a well-supported clade with T. antonina on a molecular phylogeny of monostiliferan hoplonemerteans based on partial sequences of COI, 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and 28S rRNA. Six of the seven newly described species, as well as T. rubrolineata, possess the unusual character of having a central stylet basis slightly bilobed to deeply forked posteriorly in fully grown individuals, a possible morphological synapomorphy of the genus. In addition, an undescribed species of Tetranemertes is reported from the Eastern Tropical Pacific (Panamá), increasing the total number of known species in the genus to eleven.
Perspective on Wearable Devices for Cardiac Arrhythmia Detection
Authors: Cha Myung-Jin
Published: October 2023

In the field of arrhythmia, the significance of wearable devices is steadily increasing. These devices are becoming increasingly recognized not only among patients and physicians but also among the general population. Atrial fibrillation, in particular, benefits significantly from these devices in both diagnosis and treatment of this disease. However, there is a tendency to overlook various challenges associated with wearables. These include limitations in diagnostic accuracy, an inability to evaluate various types of cardiac arrhythmias, potential increases in patient anxiety, and the demands placed on expert physicians due to the vast amounts of data produced by wearable devices. This article emphasizes that while wearable devices play a pivotal role in cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis, areas for improvement remain.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection and Gut Microbiota: A Review on Gut Microbiome Associated with Immune Activation and Metabolic Diseases
Authors: Joo Eun-Jeong
Published: October 2023

This review provides the complex interaction between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and gut microbiota. HIV infection exerts chronic effects by impairing the immune system, closely linked with alterations in gut microbiota. While advances in highly active antiretroviral therapy have achieved HIV undetectable in the bloodstream, persistent microbial translocation in the gut microbiota despite antiviral treatment leads to systemic immune activation and chronic inflammation in people living with HIV (PLHIV). There is the need for elucidating which specific microbes and their byproducts that contribute to immune activation and chronic inflammation in PLHIV. Furthermore, gaining a deeper understanding of the connection between HIV infection and metabolic disorders holds significant potential for addressing and managing conditions like premature aging and metabolic diseases. Monitoring alterations in gut microbiota composition shows promise in developing diagnostic markers and therapeutic potential for metabolic disorders in PLHIV.
