Published: November 2023

El propósito de este artículo es demostrar que el conocimiento de la Doctrina Trinitaria de Juan de Damasco se fundamenta en su propósito de argumentar una unidad sencial de las Tres Personas con la finalidad de que dicha doctrina pudiera ser aceptada por los musulmanes, permitiéndoles considerar a la Segunda y Tercera personas como atributos de Dios, tal como éstos se describen en el Corán. De este modo, la teoría islámica de los atributos divinos puede remontar a su libro De Fide Orthodoxa, como algunos especialistas trataron de demostrar a lo largo del siglo XX.

Wilms tumour resulting from paternal transmission of a TRIM28 pathogenic variant – A first report
Authors: Whitworth James , Armstrong Ruth , Maher Eamonn
Published: November 2023

Wilms tumour (nephroblastoma) is a renal embryonal tumour that is frequently caused by constitutional variants in a small range of cancer predisposition genes. TRIM28 has recently been identified as one such gene. Previously, observational data strongly suggested a parent of origin effect, whereby Wilms tumour only occurred following maternal inheritance of a pathogenic genetic variant. However, here we report a child with bilateral Wilms tumour who had inherited a pathogenic TRIM28 variant from their father. This finding suggests that genetic counselling for paternally inherited pathogenic variants in TRIM28 should include discussion of a potential risk of Wilms tumour.

Analysis of the influence of the interaction between decoupled membrane channels and inertial channels on the mount' characteristics
Authors: Lin Zhihong , Chen Yunxiao , Wu Mingzhong , Zheng Feijie
Published: November 2023

In order to study the effect of the interaction between different inertial channels and decoupler membrane channels on the hydraulic mount characteristic. Firstly, the effect of the single inertia channel and decoupler membrane channel interaction on the hydraulic mount characteristic is analyzed. Secondly, a multi-inertia channel hydraulic mount model with nine structures and four combination schemes is proposed. Among them, the mount's structure includes long inertia channels, short inertia channels, different inertia channel cross-sectional areas, and the number of inertia channels. And then, the number of inertia channels, the cross-sectional area, and the interaction between long and short inertia channels and decoupler membrane channels are analyzed for their effects on the hydraulic mount characteristics. Finally, the effect of the interaction between the inertial and decoupler membrane channels on the time-domain characteristics of the hydraulic mount at different excitation amplitudes. The results show that the number of inertia channels, cross-sectional area, and the interaction between the number of long and short inertia channels and decoupler membrane channels directly affect the vibration isolation performance of hydraulic mounts at high and low frequencies.

Composite floors represent the most convenient solution to achieve acceptable performances and at the same time to save material and cost. In determining the natural frequency of a composite floor, the stiffness of the connection between the joined structural member is crucial. Inclined screws connections are characterized by the highest slip modulus among the mechanical fastener connections. However, the determination of the optimal inclination angle of the screws for vibration and deflection reduction remains an unexplored issue. The optimization problem is faced by means of an analytical model of beam on foundation.

In this paper, the three dimensional LES method was used to generate a typical turbulent wind field. Three streamlined box girders with three different aspect ratios were adopted to investigate the effects of aspect ratios on the force coefficients and flow separation characteristics with different angles of attack. The results show that the aspect ratio has significant effects on the force coefficients of the streamlined box girder, and the larger the aspect ratio is, the larger the lift coefficient is. For the flow separation characteristics, as the aspect ratio increases, the spacing of wake vortex is shortened and the wake vortex dissipation rate is accelerated.

Determining the characteristic period of ground motions (Tg) is an essential step in the seismic design of structures, but a critical problem that needs to be solved is figuring out how to do so when bedrock ground motion is utilized as an input. In this paper, the relationship between surface and borehole temperature data is investigated, and the main factors affecting the Tg are analyzed. Then, the algorithm for predicting Tg is presented. It is found that two factors, i.e., peak ground acceleration (PGA) and fault distance have significant effects on the value of Tg. By comparing the values of Tg for borehole and surface motions, we find that, contrary to expectation, Tg for borehole motions is usually larger than that for surface motions in most cases. Finally, the conversion equation between the Tg for borehole and surface motions is given using regression analysis.

Horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) based on seismic ground motion is an important index to study site conditions and dynamic characteristics (seismic effect). Due to the influence of the vertical dynamic amplification effect of the site, the Fourier spectral ratio calculated according to the surface motion and downhole motion is quite different from that of the horizontal and vertical ground motion in the case of strong vibration input. However, our recent research shows that when considering the time-varying characteristics of ground motion, the time-varying surface-downhole spectral ratio and time-varying HVSR are almost the same. Based on this discovery, the time-varying HVSR is used to study the dynamic characteristics of the site (site effect). First, a new method for calculating the natural period and damping ratio of the site is proposed. Secondly, based on tremendous strong motion records, the prediction formulas of natural period and damping ratio are studied. Finally, the effects of various influencing factors on the natural period and damping ratio are compared. The results of this paper can provide a basis for selecting and synthesizing appropriate ground motions in structural seismic design.

Kırım-Kongo kanamalı ateşi (KKKA), ülkemizde Kelkit vadisi ve çevresinde endemiktir. Ateş yüksekliği, baş ağrısı, karın ağrısı, bulantı-kusma, miyalji ve kanamalarla seyreden bir zoonotik hastalıktır. İnvaziv pulmoner aspergilloz (IPA), sıklıkla uzamış nötropeni, transplantasyon, hematolojik-solid malignite, immunosupresif tedaviler gibi risk faktörleri varlığında görülür ve yüksek mortaliteyle seyretmektedir. Bu bildiride sunulan olgu KKKA kesin tanısı alan ve derin sitopenilerle şiddetli hastalık seyri göstermesi üzerine deksametazon tedavisi almıştır. Kısa süreli kortikosteroid tedavisi sonrası erken dönemde IPA gelişmiş ve hasta kaybedilmiştir. Olgumuz KKKA seyrinde IPA gelişmesi açısından dikkat çekicidir ve bildiğimiz kadarıyla literatürde bu birlikteliğe ait ilk vaka bildirimidir. Aspergillus enfeksiyonları klasik immunosupresif risk faktörleri dışında da görülebilmektedir. Olguların erken tanı alması ve antifungal tedaviye erken başlanması açısından mikrobiyolojik, serolojik ve görüntüleme yöntemlerinin etkin kullanılması önemlidir. Kritik hastalığı olup yoğun bakım ünitesinde takip edilen olgularda Aspergillus enfeksiyonları her zaman akılda tutulmalıdır.

Aim: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has presented significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide, impacting the mental health of healthcare workers. This study aimed to assess and compare anxiety levels among different categories of healthcare workers during the pandemic.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted with 180 healthcare workers categorized into four groups: COVID-19 negative healthcare workers (n=45), COVID-19 positive hospitalized and treated healthcare workers (n=45), COVID-19 positive healthcare workers treated at home (n=45), and COVID-19 negative healthcare workers who were off duty due to chronic illnesses (n=45). The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) was used to measure anxiety levels.

Results: COVID-19 negative healthcare workers reported relatively lower anxiety levels (mean CAS score = 1.29, SD = 1.829), with the majority experiencing minimal anxiety. COVID-19 positive hospitalized and treated healthcare workers had expressively higher anxiety levels (mean CAS score = 4.09, SD = 5.049), indicating substantial distress. COVID-19 positive healthcare workers treated at home demonstrated intermediate anxiety levels (mean CAS score = 3.09, SD = 3.014). COVID-19 negative healthcare workers with chronic illnesses showed higher anxiety levels compared to their non-chronically ill counterparts (mean CAS score = 2.02, SD = 2.19).

Conclusion: This study highlights the diverse psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers. COVID-19 positive hospitalized and treated healthcare workers experienced the highest levels of anxiety, followed by those treated at home. Even COVID-19 negative healthcare workers and those with chronic illnesses experienced notable anxiety. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions and support systems to address the mental health needs of healthcare workers effectively during and beyond the pandemic. Understanding and mitigating anxiety among healthcare workers are crucial for their well-being and the quality of patient care. Further research is warranted to explore additional factors influencing anxiety levels in this population.
