La cibergeopolítica de China: un interés estratégico de Estado
Authors: Vargas-Chaparro Nixon Edier
Published: July 2022

El crecimiento exponencial de Beijing en el sistema económico está condicionando al escenario internacional de las próximas décadas; una situación en que las dinámicas del cambio climático y los avances en materia de tecnología definirán el contexto global del siglo XXI. Así las cosas, para Xi Jinping se vuelve un imperativo el desarrollo tecnológico; en especial, el dominio del ciberespacio. En términos generales, dentro su visión a largo plazo se encuentra ser la economía líder en el sistema internacional, definida por la política exterior del Partido Comunista Chino (PCCh).

Dicho esto, se presenta la pregunta: ¿Cuál sería la estrategia de China en el ciberespacio, entendiendo que este es un factor determinante en el futuro del orden mundial? Para buscar aproximarnos a la correspondiente respuesta, se desarrolló una investigación exploratoria con un enfoque cualitativo. De igual forma, se apeló a la teoría del poder ciberespacial, de Nye (2010), y a los componentes del ciberespacio (físico y virtual) planteados por Pătrașcu (2019), sumado ello a una revisión documental.

Se logró evidenciar que hay una serie de tareas que lleva a cabo el PCCh, en el marco de un probable plan estratégico, o una línea de acción, que busca desplazar a Estados Unidos de su liderazgo mundial económico y otros ámbitos, como el militar, el cultural, el ambiental, el espacial y, desde luego, el ciberespacial, donde tendrá una gran ventaja si materializa sus planes.

Published: July 2022

A numerical study of non-Darcian natural convection heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure filled with porous medium saturated with viscous fluid was carried out. The effects of medium Rayleigh number, porosity, particle to fluid thermal conductivity ratio, Darcy number and enclosure aspect ratio on heat transfer were examined to demonstrate the ability of using this construction in thermal insulation of buildings walls. A modified Brinkman-Forchheimer-extended Darcy flow model was used and no-slip boundary conditions were imposed for velocity at the walls and the governing equations were expressed in dimensionless stream function, vorticity, and temperature formulation. The resulting algebraic equations obtained from finite difference discritization of vorticity and temperature equations are solved using (ADI) method which uses Three Diagonal Matrix Algorithm (TDMA) in each direction, while that of the stream function equation solved using successive iteration method. The study was done for the range of enclosure aspect ratio ( 2 H / L 30 ) which is in the tall layers region at medium Rayleigh number (5 2000 m Ra ), Darcy number (Da=10-3, 10-4, 10-5 ), porosity ( =0.35, 0.45, 0.55), particle to fluid thermal conductivity (kS/kf=5.77, 38.5, 1385.5).The results showed that the Nusselt number is direct proportional to medium Rayleigh number and porosity and reversely proportional to Darcy number, ratio of particle to fluid thermal conductivity and enclosure aspect ratio. The variables that affect the heat transfer in the above arrangement was correlated in a mathematical equation that account better for their affects on heat transfer which is represented by mean Nusselt number (Nu).

Authors: Dehghanian Amir , Sarvari Seyed Masoud Hosseini
Published: July 2022

This paper presents the optical tomography based on the reconstruction of optical properties in one- and two-dimensional variable index media. A transient discrete transfer method is used to solve the forward problem of transient radiative transfer. A multistart conjugate gradient method is applied to solve the inverse problem, and a straightforward approach is used to obtain the sensitivity coefficients. Different numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency of this method. The results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively estimate the distribution of absorption and scattering coefficients, even with noisy measured data.

Objetivo: Compreender a importância da terapia nutricional em pacientes com Esteatose Hepática Não Alcoólica. Revisão bibliográfica: Atualmente, a Doença Hepática Gordurosa Não Alcoólica (DHGNA) carece de medicamentos que possam ser usados para o tratamento convencional direcionado. Nessa perspectiva, a terapia não farmacológica é o ponto chave para conter a progressão da esteatose hepática. A melhora nos lipídios séricos pode ser alcançada por meio de mudanças no estilo de vida, incluindo modificação da dieta, sendo que a restrição no teor de gordura caracteriza-se como uma Dieta Baixa em Lipídios (DBL), além de exercícios físicos e mudanças comportamentais, associada ao tratamento de todos os componentes da síndrome metabólica. Além disso, mesmo indivíduos que não desejam ou não podem fazer mudanças radicais em seu padrão alimentar geral, o ideal é incluir componentes alimentares específicos e conhecidos por melhorar os lipídios. A suspensão do uso de drogas hepatotóxicas também é recomendada. Considerações finais: A mudança no estilo de vida, enfatizada pela intervenção dietoterápica mostra-se benéfica e fundamental para o tratamento de paciente com DHGNA, uma vez que o controle lipídico associado ao glicêmico é a base dos fatores de risco da doença.

Authors: MAHAJAN SANYAM K. , VERMA BALBIR S. , SHARMA SUNIL , MAHAJAN KUNAL , SINGH BALRAJ
Published: July 2022

Background

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is one of the emerging non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Studying OSA may contribute towards a better understanding of current concepts of atherogenesis and in guiding therapy.

Methods

We conducted this cross-sectional study among 66 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in a tertiary care hospital from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2020. We included patients of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)/ non-STEMI (on achieving Killip class I/II) and unstable angina and performed in-hospital overnight polysomnography (PSG) within 8 weeks of index event. Apnoea–hypoapnoea index (AHI) value 5–<15 was defined as mild OSA, AHI 15–<30 as moderate OSA and AHI >30 as severe OSA. We analysed data using Epi Info version 7.2.4 for Windows.

Results

The 66 patients had a mean (SD) age of 57.7 (11.1) years and 54 (81.8%) were men. Forty-three (65.1%) patients had STEMI, 19 (28.7%) had non-STEMI and 4 (6%) had unstable angina. On PSG, the prevalence of OSA (AHI>5) was 78.8% (95% CI 67.0–87.9). Of these, AHI >15 was significantly associated with diabetes, hypertension and different measures of obesity (p<0.05).

Conclusions

This study, conducted in a hill state of northern India, showed a high prevalence of OSA in patients with ACS. Obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension were significantly associated with severity of OSA (AHI>15).
Post-validation item analysis to assess the validity and reliability of multiple-choice questions at a medical college with an innovative curriculum
Authors: YAHIA AMAR IBRAHIM OMER
Published: July 2022

Background

In medical education, the need to obtain reliable and valid assessments is critical for the learning process. This study implemented a post-validation item analysis to create a supply of valid questions for incorporation into the question bank.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was performed in the College of Medicine, University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. The study was targeting 250 items and 750 distractors from 2017 to 2020. The post-validation item analysis was done to evaluate the quality of the items using test-scoring and reporting software. Data were analysed by SPSS Version 25. Quantitative variables were expressed as mean (SD), while qualitative variables were expressed as number and percentage. An independentt-test was done to reveal the association between the item analysis parameters. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

The mean difficulty index (DIF I), discrimination index (DI) and distractors efficacy (DE) were 73.8, 0.26 and 73.5%, respectively. Of 250 items, 38.8% had an acceptable DIF I (30%–70%) and 66.4% had ‘good to excellent’ DI (>0.2). Of 750 distractors, 33.6%, 37%, 20% and 9.2% had zero, one, two and three non-functional distractors, respectively. The mean Kuder–Richardson was 0.76. The DIF I was significantly associated with DE (p=0.048). The post-validation item analysis of this study showed that a considerable proportion of questions had acceptable parameters and were recommended for item banking. However, some questions needed to be rephrased and reassessed or discarded.

Conclusion

Three-option multiple-choice questions should be considered for future examinations to improve the assessment process.
Gamification of production automation
Authors: Erler Martin , Brosius Alexander
Published: July 2022

The teaching of technically demanding content in exercises is often linked to the use of software that is required for processing. At the same time, a large number of requirements and technical conditions must be taken into account. Classical lectures follow the principle of frontal teaching. The teacher uses an example to show all the steps to be taken. In this way, the students learn how to operate the software and the required functions primarily according to the principle of "show and tell". Slight variations, for example, still require a certain adaptation performance of the student of the seen to the own task variant. The results are evaluated on the basis of fixed criteria and error catalogs.
On the one hand, this approach is not very motivating and, on the other hand, it is far away from the later requirements of the real working world. The compulsion to teach online as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic was used as an opportunity to replace this outdated teaching concept with a new one in the Product Automation course. It is based on the principles of gamification and considerably expands the learner's scope of action. An intrinsically motivating work environment is created through the use of real rewards and the possibility to control one's own results. The integration of a competitive component further increases motivation.
Micropropagation d’Atropa belladonna et de Mandragora officinarum : évaluation du développement sur différents milieux de culture et analyse de quelques marqueurs biologiques

Published: July 2022

La belladone et la mandragore ont été cultivées in vitro, sur le milieu de MS dans un premier temps avec douze équilibres de régulateurs hormonaux (6-benzyl aminopurine et acide 1-naphtalène acétique). Quelques marqueurs biologiques ont été dosés ; il s'agit des chlorophylles a, b et des caroténoïdes, des protéines totales, du potentiel osmotique et des alcaloïdes tropaniques (atropine et scopolamine). La deuxième phase de culture a consisté à cultiver la belladone sur les milieux 0/0 et 7,5/5 (BAP/ANA) et la mandragore sur le milieu de Murashige et Skoog (0,11 µM/0,89 µM). Lors de cette deuxième phase, les protéines, le potentiel osmotique et les alcaloïdes tropaniques ont été dosés dans la belladone. Dans la mandragore, seules l'atropine et la scopolamine ont été recherchées puisque, quel que soit l'équilibre en phytohormones, les cals ne se sont jamais différenciés. Les résultats obtenus, en CL-SM/SM, ont montré que chez la belladone, le milieu sans hormone était celui qui permettait d'obtenir les plus fortes concentrations en atropine et en scopolamine. Toutefois, ces valeurs restent bien inférieures à celles trouvées dans la littérature. La mandragore, quant à elle, n'a pratiquement pas produit de métabolites secondaires.

Authors: Singh Mahendra , Singh Charan , Suresh Sarasija , Roy Sabyasachi , Banerjee Uttam Chand
Published: July 2022

Drug-phospholipid complexes have emerged as potential drug delivery systems for poorly soluble drugs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of processing methods on the physicochemical and biopharmaceutical performance of the telmisartan-phospholipid complex. In this study, telmisartan-phospholipid complexes were prepared using solvent evaporation (TELPLC-SE), freeze-drying (TELPLC-FD), and spray drying (TELPLC-SD) methods and subjected to a comparative investigation of solid-state characteristics (FTIR, DSC, and PXRD analysis), solubility, dissolution profiles, particle size, zeta potential, particle morphology (SEM analysis) and pharmacokinetic studies. The solvent evaporation method was found to be associated with the most significant FTIR peak shift/shape change, highest solubility advantage (TELPLC-SE 8.98 ± 1.08 µg/mL, TELPLC-SD 6.98 ± 1.38 µg/mL, TELPLC-FD 7.95 ± 1.02 µg/mL), maximum in-vitro drug release (TELPLC-SE 87.81 ± 4.64%, TELPLC-FD 84.71 ± 4.84 %, TELPLC-SD 79.93 ± 3.54 %) and highest peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of telmisartan (TELPLC-SE Cmax: 2.40 ± 1.34 µg/mL, TELPLC-SD Cmax: 2.20 ± 1.1 µg/mL, TELPLC-FD Cmax: 1.4 ± 1.3 µg/mL) whereas freeze-drying method was linked to the highest depression in melting point endotherm and spray drying method was associated to the maximum reduction in XRD peak intensity, the largest particle size and the lowest zeta potential. This study definitively answers the questions regarding the effect of processing methods on the telmisartan-phospholipid complex. Further studies are needed to explore the effect of process and formulation parameters.
Why do sulfone-containing polymer photocatalysts work so well for sacrificial hydrogen evolution from water?
Authors: Hillman Sam A. J. , Sprick Reiner Sebastian , Pearce Drew , Woods Duncan , Sit Wai-Yu , Shi Xingyuan , Cooper Andrew I. , Durrant James R. , Nelson Jenny
Published: July 2022

In recent years, many of the highest performing polymer photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution from water have contained dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone units in their polymer backbones. However, the reasons behind the dominance of this building block are not well understood. We use a new set of processable materials, in which the sulfone content is systematically controlled, to understand how the sulfone unit affects the three key processes involved in photocatalytic hydrogen generation in this system: light absorption; transfer of the photogenerated hole to the hole scavenger triethylamine (TEA); and transfer of the photogenerated electron to the palladium metal co-catalyst that remains in the polymer from synthesis. Using transient absorption spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements, and combined with molecular dynamics and density functional theory simulations, we find that the sulfone unit has two primary effects. On the picosecond timescale, it dictates the thermodynamics of hole transfer out of the polymer. The sulfone unit attracts water molecules such that the average permittivity experienced by the solvated polymer is increased, and we demonstrate here that TEA oxidation is only thermodynamically favourable above a certain permittivity threshold. On the microsecond timescale, we present experimental evidence that the sulfone unit acts as the electron transfer site out of the polymer, with the kinetics of electron extraction to palladium dictated by the ratio of photogenerated electrons to the number of sulfone units. For the highest performing, sulfone-rich material, hydrogen evolution appears to be limited by the photogeneration rate of electrons rather than their extraction from the polymer.

D-β-Hydroxybutyrate and lactate mediate the positive effects of exercise on chronic stress by changing the histone modification profile in the hippocampus. (c2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Saad Joelle
Published: July 2022

Depression is a very common mental illness and the leading cause of disability worldwide. Some people are more vulnerable than others; however, the underlying mechanisms behind this vulnerability are not well understood. Exercise has long been studied as a lifestyle factor that can be used to counteract the effect of stress. Our objective was to investigate whether two well-established exercise factors, D-β-Hydroxybutyrate and lactate, mediate its positive effects on resilience to chronic stress and social behavior. For that reason, we first blocked the transport of these metabolites to the brain during exercise and assessed whether this blockage abolished the positive effects of exercise on social behavior. Next, we assessed the effects of D-β-Hydroxybutyrate and lactate and determined whether they promote resilience to chronic stress. To that effect, we induced stress in mice using the chronic social defeat stress paradigm. Mice were subjected to chronic social defeat stress while receiving either D-β-Hydroxybutyrate or lactate. Mice that were subjected to chronic social defeat stress exhibited depressive-like behavior, showed increased susceptibility to stress, and displayed increased social avoidance behavior. D-β-Hydroxybutyrate and lactate promoted resilience to stress and rescued social avoidance behavior. The rescue by D-β-Hydroxybutyrate was associated with an increase in histone H3 β-Hydroxybutyrylation levels in the hippocampus. Furthermore, we examined the antidepressant properties of these two exercise factors. To assess that, we subjected the mice to chronic social defeat stress, and then administered our treatments. Both D-β-Hydroxybutyrate and lactate acted as antidepressants when administered after the establishment of a depressive phenotype. Finally, we found that a ketogenic diet known to increase the levels of D-β- Hydroxybutyrate in the brain also mimics the effects of these exercise factors and promotes resilience to stress and rescues social avoidance behavior. The molecular basis behind the rescue effect of D-β-Hydroxybutyrate is still being studied.
The Realism of Communitarians’ Clash in the Middle East. (c2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Ramadan Hiba
Published: July 2022

This study examines the ‘clash of communitarians’ thesis in the Middle East and North Africa. At the same time, it explores political dynamics of nation-states’ foreign policy outlooks. This is done by focusing on the post-Arab Spring’s policy orientations of three Sunni-majority regional powers (Egypt, KSA, Turkey) toward regional conflicts in three MENA states: Syria, Libya, and Iraq. It first analyzes foreign policy positions that are driven by the ‘clash of communitarians’ assumptions, and within the framework of Sunni-Shia regional sectarian struggle. Then, its compares these ‘inter-communitarian clash’ propositions (Sunni-Shia) with competing ‘intra-communitarian clash’ (Sunni-Sunni) in regional political struggle over contested regional spheres of influence. Preliminary findings point to the fact the intra-communitarian struggle is often more vicious compared to other forms of disputes. In addition, regional states’ foreign policy interests remain predominantly national rather than communitarian. This is evident in strict communitarianism failing to acknowledge the current intra-Sunni states’ foreign policy divisions. The finding asserts that foreign policy is largely embedded in Realism’s assumptions of national interests and regional balance of power. Communitarianism and nationalism need to be synthesized in analyzing contemporary foreign policy outlooks.
Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Multi-drug Resistant Klebsiella spp. Isolates Recovered from Clinical Settings. (c2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Diab Hassan
Published: July 2022

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the gastrointestinal tract and nasopharynx with the vast majority associated with hospitalization and causing human nosocomial infections. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a serious public health concern. In this study, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) – based analysis was performed to understand the molecular epidemiology of multi-drug resistant Klebsiella spp. clinical isolates. Genome comparison, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and whole-genome-SNP-based phylogenetic analysis (wg-SNP) were used to determine the relatedness of the isolates. in silico typing was used to determine the resistance genes, virulence factors, Inc groups, and capsular types. All except one isolate were non-susceptible to meropenem and 89% were non-susceptible to ertapenem and imipenem. blaNDM, blaOXA-48, and blaKPC were the carbapenemase-linked genes with blaNDM-1 being detected in half of the sequenced isolates. Resistance to colistin was detected in one and was correlated to mutations in ccrB, pmrB, and pmrC genes. The most common plasmid type was IncFIB followed by IncR, and the Type 3 fimbriae, chromosomally encoded by the mrkABCDF operon, was conserved among the sequenced Klebsiella spp. The most common sequence (ST) and K-type detected were ST147 and K64. A nosocomial outbreak linked to a carbapenem-resistant ST147 K. pneumoniae supported by SNPs-based analysis, PFGE clustering, and genome comparison was also detected. This study provides crucial insights into antimicrobial resistance and the virulence of an increasingly important global pathogen. It also confirms that whole-genome sequencing data should be integrated into routine and targeted pathogen surveillance, outbreak detection, and infection control.

Authors: Trianto Andi Sigit , Novani Santi
Published: July 2022

Service science has become a significant talking point in business nowadays. As a value-based service science, the value co-creation paradigm focuses on collaborating between ecosystem actors to generate a new value that enhances the current system. By implementing value co-creation, providers can gain a better understanding of customer needs and expectations, as well as the value generated by the service. This study aims to review the newly implemented system of cross-border marketplace business in Indonesia using the value co-creation concept. The business ecosystem of the new marketplace system comprises sellers, buyers/customers, marketplace companies, courier service companies, national banks, and customs. The new system extends the concept of delivery duty paid (DDP) term from the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to collect import duties and taxes on the purchase of goods abroad. To gain comprehensive knowledge about the system, a key informant from customs was interviewed. This study gives a thorough understanding of how value co-creation may be applied in public service and proposes a new model that benefits all actors in the ecosystem. This study makes a sustainable strategy recommendation to policymakers and service providers for increasing value in order to improve the new system's engagement experience, as well as an alternative decision support method for government and service providers to improve the new cross-border marketplace system. The study is novel in that it connects e-commerce to the body of knowledge in the field of service science, a combination that is rarely discussed, especially in Indonesia.
