Flavoured $(g-2)_\mu$ with dark lepton seasoning
Authors: Acaroğlu Harun , Agrawal Prateek , Blanke Monika
Published: October 2023

As a joint explanation for the dark matter (DM) problem and the muon (g-2)(g−2) anomaly, we propose a simplified model of lepton-flavoured complex scalar DM with couplings to both the left- and right-handed leptons of the Standard Model (SM). Both interactions are governed by the same new flavour-violating coupling matrix \lambdaλ, however we allow for a relative scaling of the coupling strength. The SM is further extended by two fermion representations, transforming as an SU(2)_LSU(2)L doublet and singlet, respectively, and mediating these interactions. The fermions additionally couple to the SM Higgs doublet via a new Yukawa coupling. To study the model’s phenomenology we first investigate constraints from collider searches, flavour experiments, precision tests of the SM, the DM relic density, and direct as well as indirect detection experiments individually. We then perform a combined analysis by demanding that all mentioned constraints are satisfied simultaneously. We use the results of this combined analysis and examine if the model is capable of accommodating the (g-2)_\mu(g−2)μ anomaly within its viable parameter space without introducing fine-tuned lepton masses. For all benchmark scenarios we consider, we find that the central value of \Delta a_\mu^\text{exp}Δaμexp can be reached without generating too large corrections to the lepton masses. We hence conclude that this model qualifies as a viable and attractive lepton-flavoured DM model that at the same time solves the (g-2)_\mu(g−2)μ anomaly.

Authors: Jalaeifar Farzad , Sarang Amin , Abdoli Asghar , Niksokhan Mohammad Hosein
Published: October 2023

Urbanization and climate change are two potent forces shaping the contemporary environment. Urban rivers, integral to city life, are profoundly affected by these dynamics. While restoration efforts have yielded promising results, a persistent challenge lies in the inadequate consideration of geomorphic processes and climate change impacts in restoration planning. This study addresses this critical gap by proposing a novel approach for designing stable urban river geometries in ungauged basins. Leveraging the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method in conjunction with General Circulation Model (GCM) data, our research focuses on determining design discharge and channel stability. Our principal finding, based on the incorporation of parameters related to precipitation, runoff, and effective discharge, indicates a projected 35% increase in the width of stable urban rivers in the future. These results underscore the urgency of integrating climate change considerations into urban river restoration initiatives. Neglecting this imperative aspect risks the failure of restoration projects, particularly in addressing geomorphic challenges intensified by climate change. This research offers a valuable framework for future restoration efforts, ultimately contributing to the resilience and sustainability of urban river ecosystems.
Psychosomatic Disorder: The Current Implications and Challenges
Authors: Chauhan Abhimanyu , Jain Chakresh Kumar
Published: October 2023

:

In recent years, there has been increasing global concern about the rising prevalence
and rapid progression of psychosomatic disorders (PD). This surge can be attributed to irregular
biological conditions and the increasingly stressful lifestyles that individuals lead, ultimately
resulting in functional impairments of vital organs. PD arises from intricate interactions involving
the central nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Notably, the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal
(HPA) axis plays an essential role, as its dysregulation is influenced by prolonged stress
and psychological distress. Consequently, stress hormones, including cortisol, exert detrimental
effects on immunological function, inflammation, and homeostatic equilibrium. It emerges as
physical symptoms influenced by psychological factors, such as persistent pain, gastrointestinal
disturbances, or respiratory complications, and is pertinent to highlight that excessive and chronic
stress, anxiety, or emotional distress may engender the onset or exacerbation of cardiovascular
disorders, namely hypertension and heart disease. Although several therapeutic strategies have
been proposed so far, the precise etiology of PD remains elusive due to the intricate nature of disease
progression and the underlying modalities of action. This comprehensive review seeks to elucidate
the diverse classifications of psychosomatic disorders, explicate their intricate mechanisms,
and shed light on their impact on the human body, which may act as catalysts for the development
of various other diseases. Additionally, it explores the inherent medico-clinical challenges posed by
PD and also explores the cutting-edge technologies, tools, and data analytics pipelines that are being
applied in the contemporary era to effectively analyze psychosomatic data.

Authors: Espina Estefanía , Marbán José M. , Maroto Ana
Published: October 2023

Dyscalculia is a math learning disability that significantly interferes with students' academic performance and math-related aspects of their daily lives. Early diagnosis and the design of intervention programs adapted to the needs of each case are essential. In this sense, multiple technological resources are created to address both issues. Still, it is difficult to identify which characteristics they share and which are more relevant regarding didactic suitability. Given this situation, this research proposes categorizing these resources according to the type of addressee, objective, format, and supporting scientific evidence. The categorization process has been carried out in two phases: deductive and inductive. In the first phase, a systematic review of the literature was carried out in the main scientific publication databases. Based on the review publications reading, the aspects common to the technological resources found were identified in the second phase, and the final categorization criteria were created. The result of such a procedure provides a valuable bank of technological resources for intervention in dyscalculia at early ages. However, more scientific evidence is lacking to support its efficacy and validity in educational settings.

Utilizing a Three-Step technique to Incorporate Video Song Clips for Teaching English Vocabulary to EFL Students
Authors: Sasi Abolfazl Shirban
Published: October 2023

This paper presents a study that employed video song clips as an instructional tool for imparting English vocabulary to Taiwanese EFL university freshmen. The research incorporated three well-known songs performed by renowned artists, which were readily available on YouTube. A pretest-posttest control-group design was employed, wherein the treatment group (consisting of 28 participants) received English conversation lessons accompanied, in part, by English songs, while the control group (comprising 25 individuals) underwent conventional teaching methods devoid of video clips. The study spanned three consecutive regular sessions, with approximately the final 25 minutes of each session dedicated to this experimental approach. Both groups were subjected to a 30-item English vocabulary assessment created by the researcher, encompassing words drawn from the song lyrics, both before and after the instructional intervention. A statistical independent samples T-test was employed to analyze the data, revealing a significant increase in scores for the treatment group. This paper suggests a three-step methodology for utilizing video song clips, which can be conveniently implemented to assist EFL students in enhancing their repertoire of English vocabulary.

Authors: Ristić-Durrant Danijela , Franke Marten , Michels Kai , Nikolić Vlastimir , Banić Milan , Simonović Miloš
Published: October 2023

In this paper, a system consisting of deep learning (DL)-based object detection followed by neural network based object distance estimation is considered. The accuracy of object distance estimation strongly depends on the size of the bounding box (BB) of the detected object extracted by the DL-based object detector. A method for improvement of the accuracy of object BB is proposed, which involves traditional computer vision-based edge segmentation of object BB image region. The proposed method is evaluated on the real-world images of railway scenes with obstacles on the rail tracks captured by thermal and RGB cameras. The evaluation results demonstrate the potential of traditional computer vision methods to complement state-of-the-art DL methods for accurate object detection and distance estimation.

Published: October 2023

One of the most preferred range-free indoor localization methods is the location fingerprinting. In the fingerprinting localization phase machine learning algorithms have widespread usage in estimating positions of the target node. The real challenge in indoor localization systems is to find out the proper machine learning algorithm. In this paper, three different machine learning algorithms for training the fingerprint database were used. We analysed the localization accuracy depending on a fingerprint density and number of line-of-sight (LOS) anchors. Experiments confirmed that Gaussian processes algorithm is superior to all other machine learning algorithms. The results prove that the localization accuracy can be achieved with a sub-decimetre resolution under typical real-world conditions.

Published: October 2023

The history of the 1998 reformation has become a momentum for the implementation of Indonesian democracy after the authoritarian regime of the New Order Soeharto. Through a study of three major journals, it is seen how in Indonesia's democratic system it can be positively interpreted that mass organizations can grow. Even so, there are several actions of mass organizations that lead to the nuances of violence through their various actions. If using Marx's perspective, the state will regard this resistance as a threat to democracy. Another dimension is present when trying to understand that local mass organizations with violent radicals ideally have the aim of protecting local matters from being eroded by external interests that can threaten the identity and local community. Therefore, violence is understood as a way for them to defend and fight against things that are considered threatening. State recognition of locality- based identities and groups, including how mass organizations represent the existence of locality-based communities, is important. Recognition at this level should involve and pay attention to local wisdom so that policy as a product has authority in its application in the community.

Published: October 2023

Abstract: Paani Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization actively engaged in drought prevention and watershed management in the state of Maharashtra, India. Founded by Indian actor Amir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao, the foundation is led by CEO Satyajit Bhatkal. The state of Maharashtra has a history of recurring droughts and severe water scarcity over the past few years, including the significant drought in 2013. Approximately one-third of the state falls within the semi-arid climatic zone. Due to the impact of climate change, rainfall patterns have become increasingly erratic. The state's irrigation coverage is only 16% of the total cultivated area, significantly lower than the national average of 42%. As a result, there has been excessive use of bore wells, leading to a rapid decline in groundwater levels. In 2015, the state government officially declared that 60% of its villages were facing a "drought-like condition," meaning their crop yields were less than 50% of the normal yield in the state. This condition currently affects 23,811 out of the state's 39,453 villages, resulting in a significant drop in agricultural output for the year, as stated by officials.

Published: October 2023

Desde tempos imemoriais, o homem busca compreender e agir sobre o mundo que o cerca. Para tanto, utiliza diversas formas de explorar o meio em que vive, buscando explicação para os fenômenos, sejam eles naturais ou não. Uma dessas maneiras tem por base a atenção a elementos que podem parecer insignificantes, irrelevantes, mas que carregam informações essenciais. Esses elementos são chamados de indícios, isto é, rastros que podem ser fiados para construção da história. Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a conceituação e a historicização do chamado método indiciário tendo como suporte reflexivo o texto: “Sinais: raízes de um paradigma indiciário”, de Ginzburg (1989), ao mesmo tempo em que inventaria a produção acadêmica que utiliza o método indiciário em história da educação nos programas de pós-graduação em História e em Educação, buscando compreender se esse é um paradigma teórico-metodológico viável ao historiador da educação.  A busca pela produção aconteceu no Portal Oasisbr com o uso do descritor “método indiciário”. Trata-se, assim, de um estudo de revisão bibliográfica e análise documental. Os resultados indicam que a maioria das pesquisas realizadas com procedimentos do método indiciário são oriundas de programas de pós-graduação em Educação. Outro aspecto importante diz respeito às possibilidades de diversificação das temáticas das pesquisas, as quais problematizam o corpo, a mulher, as práticas pedagógicas e as políticas educacionais com uso de fontes oficiais.

Authors: Alajmi Ali , Rodrigs Marcus
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes to the accounting profession, including the need for enhanced soft skills. Professional accountants have been able to step in as dependable advisors during times of crisis and uncertainty. Additionally, the pandemic has led to increased attention to soft skills by companies. This paper reviews and analyses the soft skills required by accountants with a key focus on the impact of emerging technologies on the role, skills, and performance of accounting professionals in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The study employs a resource-based view (RBV) theory to connect these variables, with the proposition that the accounting profession’s resources, particularly the possession of soft skills, dictate its performance and competitiveness. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods, analyzing online job advertisements to ascertain the soft skills sought after by employers in these countries. A sample of 344 job ads from GCC countries posted during the pandemic was examined. This study shows that the most valuable skills among employers in GCC countries in terms of ranks are: 1) interpersonal skills (249 out of 344), 2) organizational skills, and 3) personal skills. The study demonstrates that quarantines and social distancing measures with limited face-to-face interactions and more online professional meetings could be difficult for accountants. The study concludes in the accounting profession, interpersonal skills are the most in-demand, followed by organizational skills and personal skills.

Infantile Hemangiomas: A Tertiary Referral Center Institutional Experience and Analysis of Propranolol Usage
Authors: A Andrea Lopez , E Georgina Sellyn , Chen Heidi , Janssen Dana R. , Phillips James D.
Published: October 2023

Introduction Oral propranolol is a first-line treatment for
infantile hemangiomas (IH). This study aims to describe the results of
treating IH with propranolol only or initial propranolol therapy
followed by laser therapy, surgical excision, corticosteroid therapy, or
a second cycle of propranolol. Methods Our patient population
included pediatric patients (<18 years of age) diagnosed with
IH at Monroe Carell Junior Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt University
Medical Center between August 2009 to July 2017. Patient demographics,
IH clinical features, and treatment data were extracted from the
electronic medical record. Results Three hundred forty patients
with IH were included in this study, with a prevalence of focal lesions
(71%) and a total of 279 (82%) IH located on the head/neck. Lesions of
the head had a statistically significant association with PHACE syndrome
(p<0.001). Most patients initiated propanolol treatment before
the age of 6 months (71%), with continuation for ≥6 months (69%). Upon
discontinuation of propranolol, 14 (4%) patients required a second
cycle of propranolol for regrowth. After controlling for IH location,
patients with a family history of hemangiomas or cardiac abnormalities
were 3.6 times more likely to need a second round of propranolol
treatment (OR, 3.6; 95% Confidence Interval 1.14-11.19) (P=0.03).
Conclusion The study confirms propranolol’s effectiveness and
safety, reinforcing the need for early intervention and close monitoring
following treatment termination to prevent regrowth. Ultimately, this
research contributes to advancing the understanding and treatment of IH,
aiming to optimize patient outcomes and reduce morbidity.

Published: October 2023

Objective: To evaluate the prediction performance of 1st
trimester fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, as compared to
gestational diabetes (GDM), for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), in a
5-year follow-up after pregnancy. Design: A retrospective
analysis of prospectively collected data Setting: Mehuedet HMO,
Israel Population or sample: 69,001 parturients with FPG levels
measured at 1st-trimester and T2DM data up to 5 years after delivery.
Methods: T2DM diagnosis was stratified by FPG levels divided
into categories with 10 mg/dl increments. GDM was diagnosed using the
two-step strategy. Prediction performance for T2DM was determined using
ROC-AUC statistics with the utilization of the Youden index(YI) for the
calculation of the best FPG cut-off for T2DM prediction. Survival
analysis was applied to calculate hazard ratios(HRs) for T2DM prediction
with further stratification to maternal obesity status. Main
outcome measures: T2DM, as determined by the Israeli National Diabetes
Registry.. Results: The determined FPG cut-off for predicting
the risk of T2DM was 86.5mg/dl (sensitivity 53.3%, specificity 72.4%).
This cutoff demonstrated superior predictive performance when compared
to GDM diagnosis (0.615 vs. 0.586). Furthermore, all FPG level
categories exceeding 80 mg/dL were associated with an increased risk of
developing T2DM. FPG levels equal to or greater than 110 mg/dL exhibited
even stronger predictive performance for T2DM compared to GDM diagnosis
(HR 4.92 and 3.92, respectively). When stratified by maternal obesity,
FPG levels displayed enhanced predictive capabilities for T2DM,
particularly among women without obesity. Conclusions: 1st
trimester FPG levels are associated with increased risk for T2DM, at
least as GDM.

Published: October 2023

Rolnictwo i obszary wiejskie Polski charakteryzuję się dużym zróżnicowaniem regionalnym, które wpływa zarówno na poziom wykorzystania potencjału jak i możliwości wdrażania polityki Unii Europejskiej. Celem badań była ocena możliwości wdrażania polityk wspólnotowych w różnych regionach Polski z uwzględnieniem istniejących uwarunkowań przyrodniczych, społecznych i ekonomiczno-organizacyjnych. Ocenę przeprowadzono na przykładzie produkcji roślinnej – jako działu rolnictwa najsilniej związanego z wykorzystaniem rolniczej przestrzeni produkcyjnej.Stwierdzono, że polityki wspólnotowe wpływają wielopłłaszczyznowo na produkcję rolniczą. Stosując metody analizy wielozmiennej wyodrębniono regiony zróżnicowane z punktu widzenia możliwości realizacji rozwiązać wynikających z polityki UE, takich jak: produkcja ekologiczna, integrowana, uprawa zbóż jakościowych, produkcja biomasy na cele energetyczne. Ocena dotyczyła możliwości dostosowania produkcji roślinnej w Polsce do obowiązujących zasad wspólnej polityki rolnej UE, do wskaźników charakteryzujących wydajność z 1 ha i efektywność produkcji oraz do standardów jakościowych.Stwierdzono, że poziom, struktura, efektywność i intensywno produkcji roślinnej są zróżnicowane regionalnie. Uwarunkowania ekonomiczne i organizacyjne powodują pogłębianie różnic regionalnych i decydują o zróżnicowanych możliwościach dostosowania produkcji roślinnej do rzeczywistości gospodarczej i polityk UE. Istniejące zróżnicowanie regionalne zmusza do dywersyfikacji działań wspierających i metod pracy doradczej. Niezbędna jest również bieżąca analiza zmian w politykach wspólnotowych, umożliwiająca podejmowanie działań dostosowawczychRealną oceną możliwości dostosowania produkcji roślinnej do wymogów i standardów Unii Europejskiej można uzyskać prowadząc analizę w mniejszych jednostkach administracyjnych niż województwo (subregiony, powiaty, gminy). Wskazuje to na celowość prowadzenia badań wspierających regionalizację polityki wobec rolnictwa i obszarów wiejskich. Na podstawie wieloaspektowej analizy stanu aktualnego wskazano przedsięwzięcia niezbędne do skutecznej realizacji procesów dostosowania produkcji roślinnej do wymogów UE i nasilającej się konkurencji

Objective: Diabetes mellitus may feature impaired insulin kinetics, which could be aggravated by altered hepatic metabolism and glycemic control. Thus, we examined insulin clearance and its possible determinants in persons with recent-onset diabetes. Research design and methods: Participants of the German Diabetes Study (GDS) with type 1 diabetes (T1D; n=306), type 2 diabetes (T2D; n=489) or normal glucose tolerance (CON; n=167) underwent hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps to assess whole-body insulin sensitivity (M-value) and insulin clearance (ICCLAMP). Insulin clearance rates were further calculated during intravenous glucose (ICIVGTT) and mixed meal tolerance tests (ICMMT). Hepatocellular lipid content (HCL) was quantified by 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Results: Both T1D and T2D had lower ICCLAMP (0.12±0.07 and 0.21±0.06 vs. 0.28±0.14, all p<0.05) and ICMMT than CON (0.71±0.35 and 0.99±0.33 vs. 1.20±0.36, all p<0.05). In T1D, ICCLAMP, ICIVGTT, ICMMT correlated negatively with HbA1c (all p<0.05). M-value correlated positively with ICIVGTT in CON and T2D (r=0.199 and r=0.178, p<0.05) and with ICMMT in CON (r=0.176, p<0.05). HCL negatively associated with ICIVGTT and ICMMT in T2D (r=-0.005 and r=-0.037) and CON (r=-0.127 and r=-0.058, all p<0.05). In line, T2D or CON with steatosis featured lower ICMMT than those without steatosis (both p<0.05). Conclusions: Insulin clearance is reduced in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes already within the first year after diagnosis, but correlates negatively with liver lipid content rather in type 2 diabetes. Moreover, insulin clearance differently associates with glycemic control and insulin sensitivity may suggest specific mechanisms affecting insulin kinetics.

Published: October 2023

With poor prognosis for patients with advanced disease, ovarian cancer continues to be the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Despite optimal treatment, the disease frequently recurs and develops chemoresistance.
The tumor immune microenvironment has been predicted to play a special role in tumor development and treatment, by modifying immunosuppressive and cytotoxic responses in close proximity to tumor cells via metabolic reprogramming. A better understanding of the tumor microenvironment’s critical roles allows researchers to develop new therapeutic strategies, such as immunotherapy, to combat epithelial ovarian cancer chemoresistance. Unfortunately, the results of many clinical trials examining immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) have shown very low levels of efficacy for single-agent immune checkpoint inhibitors, and research on combination treatments has not yet identified any combinations with robust activity in a large number of epithelial ovarian cancer patients.
The present research will begin with a review of the main concept of immune response inside the ovarian cancer microenvironment. Then, we’ll try to figure out what role various immune checkpoint inhibitors have in the ovarian cancer microenvironment. Finally, we’ll look into several exciting treatment options, such as immune checkpoint inhibition and the body’s anti-ovarian cancer immunological response.

LoRa and IoT-based Heart Rate and Temperature Monitoring Tool Using MQTT Protocol
Authors: Tamara Sherli
Published: October 2023

Heart rate is one of the most important organs in the human body as it plays a role in the circulatory system. Body temperature is the result of the body's metabolic processes and is influenced by external and internal factors. In this research, we design a monitoring tool that uses LoRa and IoT technology to monitor heart rate and human body temperature. This tool aims to provide real-time health monitoring and can communicate remotely. MQTT allows efficient data transmission between connected devices in the network. Pulse heart rate sensor and temperature sensor MLX90614 The data obtained from these two sensors is sent through the LoRa network to the LoRa gateway. The LoRa gateway functions as a link between the monitoring device and the MQTT server. The gateway receives data from the monitoring device via the LoRa network and forwards it to the MQTT server via an internet connection. The MQTT server sends the data to an application that can be accessed via a smartphone. The test results show that the RSSI value of -72.5 dBm is obtained when the minimum distance is 5 metres. The lowest value for RSSI, which is -93.5 dBm, is obtained at the maximum testing distance of about 55 metres. For the results of the packet loss value is 0% occurs at a closer distance, but at a distance of 50m (5%) and at a distance of 55m (20%) indicates that the signal begins to weaken or experience interference at a greater distance

Published: October 2023

Currently, there are no clearly defined optimal diagnostic strategies of detection of dissections. This study aimed to analyze and compare the results of comprehensive examinations of people who suffered an ischemic stroke (IS) with and without brachiocephalic artery (BCA) dissections. Dissections group, formed based on the results of multispiral computed tomography angiography that confirmed dissections, included 53 patients, and control group — patients without BCA dissections — comprised 1451 people; examination of all patients involved duplex scanning (DS) of BCA and transcranial part, transthoracic echocadiography (TTE), multispiral computed tomography angiography (msCTA) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients with dissection were younger (p < 0.0005) and had a lower body mass index (p < 0.0005) than participants from the control group; according to echocadiography, they were less likely to have left (p = 0.014) and right (p = 0.018) atrial dilation and aortic stenosis (p = 0.017). Also, dissections were significantly less often associated with atherosclerotic plaques in the common carotid artery (CCA) (p < 0.002), and BCA deformations (p < 0.05). Duplex scanning of BCA revealed that in patients with dissections, differentiation of the intima-media complex in CCA was compromised significantly less often, and signs of thrombosis of the internal carotid artery were registered significantly more often (p = 0.021 and p = 0.004); according to MRI, such patients had less pronounced changes in the periventricular and deep white matter of the brain (p < 0.0005 and p = 0.001) and never suffered strategic infarcts affecting the thalamus area (p < 0.0005). Comparison of the results of examinations of IS patients with and without BCA dissections revealed differences that are probably conditioned by the younger age of those who had said dissections.

La subjetividad y el cuerpo en relación con las tecnologías digitales en la pandemia y pospandemia
Authors: Di Meglio Mariela Silvina
Published: October 2023

El marco de la pandemia y pospandemia, el uso de tecnologías digitales y el efecto que producen en la construcción de subjetividad es una de las temáticas que, como profesionales de la salud mental y docentes, nos convoca en virtud de poder dar cuenta de los modos de ser, estar, pensar el mundo y el cuerpo. Desde la era moderna a la actualidad, el abordaje de estas temáticas ha sido solidario a los avances científicos, sociales, políticos, contextuales, con las implicancias que ello comporta. Este trabajo desarrollará un recorrido por distintos momentos históricos y contextos, de modo de situar coordenadas epocales que posibiliten pensar las mencionadas temáticas. El punto de partida será Descartes (s. XVII), quien conceptualizaba el cuerpo desde una lógica mecánica, para llegar hasta el siglo XXI, con el desarrollo del genoma humano y una lógica biotecnológica con el fin de abordar las consecuencias respecto de los cambios, los tiempos, los límites y las posibilidades que impactan en las subjetividades y en los modos de habitar el mundo. Por último, se plantearán algunos interrogantes y desafíos que enfrentamos en nuestra práctica educativa. Este trabajo es una invitación a adentrarnos en este proceso.
