Authors: Ly Maria , Yu Gary Z. , Chwa Won Jong , Raji Cyrus A.
Published: February 2024

Background: Given the advent of large-scale neuroimaging data-driven endeavors for Alzheimer’s disease, there is a burgeoning need for well-characterized neuroimaging databases of healthy individuals. With the rise of initiatives around the globe for the rapid and unrestricted sharing of data resources, there is now an abundance of open-source neuroimaging datasets available to the research community. However, there is not yet a systematic review that fully details the demographic information and modalities actually available in all open access neuroimaging databases around the globe. Objective: This systematic review aims to provide compile a list of MR structural imaging databases encompassing healthy individuals across the lifespan. Methods: In this systematic review, we searched EMBASE and PubMed until May 2022 for open-access neuroimaging databases containing healthy control participants of any age, race, with normal development and cognition having at least one structural T1-weighted neuroimaging scan. Results: A total of 403 databases were included, for up to total of 48,268 participants with all available demographic information and imaging modalities detailed in Supplementary Table 1. There were significant trends noted when compiling normative databases for this systematic review, notably that 11.7% of databases included reported ethnicity in their participants, with underrepresentation of many socioeconomic groups globally. Conclusions: As efforts to improve primary prevention of AD may require a broader perspective including increased relevance of earlier stages in life, and strategies in addressing modifiable risk factors may be individualized to specific demographics, improving data characterization to be richer and more rigorous will greatly enhance these efforts.

Authors: Hrincu Viorica , An Zijian , Joseph Kenneth , Jiang Yu Fei , Robillard Julie M.
Published: February 2024

Background: Social media is a powerful tool for engaging diverse audiences in dementia research. However, there is little data summarizing current content exchange in this context. Objective: To inform ethical dementia research engagement on social media, we characterized current practices by analyzing public social media posts. Methods: We retrieved Facebook (2-year period, N = 7,896) and Twitter (1-year period, N = 9,323) posts containing dementia research-related keywords using manual and machine learning-based search strategies. We performed qualitative and quantitative content and sentiment analyses on random samples (10%) of the posts. Results: Top Facebook users were advocacy (45%) and health organizations (25%). On Twitter, academics/researchers were the largest user group. Prevention was the most frequently coded theme (Facebook 30%; Twitter 26%), followed by treatment (Facebook 15%; Twitter 18%). Diagnostics had the highest Facebook engagement. Sharing knowledge was the primary form of content exchange (Facebook 63%; Twitter 80%). Most shared journal articles were peer-reviewed and open access. Emotional tone was overall more positive on Facebook. Justice was a prominent ethics topic regarding inequalities related to identity and intersecting modes of marginalization in dementia research. Conclusion: The findings indicate the importance of social media as an engagement tool of current topics in health research and reveal areas of potential for increased engagement. These data can inform consensus-based best practices for ethical social media application in dementia research.

Published: February 2024

Background: The association between lifetime alcohol abuse and a higher risk to develop dementia is well known. However, it is unknown whether older adults who begin abusing alcohol late in life have an underlying neurodegenerative disease. Objective: Identify the frequency of lifelong alcohol abuse (L-AA), late-onset alcohol abuse (LO-AA), and alcohol abuse as a first symptom of dementia (AA-FS) in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Methods: Cross-sectional retrospective study of patients evaluated at an academic referral center with a clinical diagnosis of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), Alzheimer-type dementia (AD), and semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) (n = 1,518). The presence of alcohol abuse was screened with the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center questionnaire. L-AA was defined as onset < 40 years, LO-AA as onset ≥40 years, and AA-FS was defined when the abuse started within the first three years from symptom onset. Results: The frequency of LO-AA was 2.2% (n = 33/1,518). LO-AA was significantly more frequent in patients with bvFTD than AD (7.5%, n = 13/173 versus 1.3%, n = 16/1,254, CI:1.0;11.4%), but not svPPA (4.4%, n = 4/91, CI: –4.4;10.7%). Similarly, AA-FS was more frequent in bvFTD patients than AD (5.7%, n = 10/173 versus 0.7%, n = 9/1,254, CI:0.5%;9.5%), but not svPPA (2.2%, n = 2/91, CI:–2.4;9.1%). Conclusion: LO-AA can be a presenting symptom of dementia, especially bvFTD. Alcohol abuse onset later in life should prompt a clinical investigation into the possibility of an underlying neurodegenerative process because delay in diagnosis and treatment may increase patient and caregiver burden. The results need to be interpreted with caution due to the limitations of the study.

Published: February 2024

Background: There is growing interest in the pathophysiological processes of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD), including the potential role of leptin. Human studies have shown that both low and high levels of leptin can be associated with worse neurocognitive outcomes, suggesting this relationship may be moderated by another risk factor. Objective: We examined the association between plasma leptin levels and both neuropsychological test performance and structural neuroimaging and assessed whether body mass index (BMI) is an effect modifier of these associations. Methods: Our study sample consisted of 2,223 adults from the Framingham Heart Study Third Generation Cohort (average age = 40 years, 53% women). Results: Among the entire sample, there was no association between leptin and any of the neuropsychological domain measures or any of the MRI brain volume measures, after adjustment for BMI, APOE4, and other clinical factors. However, we did observe that BMI category was an effect modifier for the association between leptin and verbal memory (p for interaction = 0.03), where higher levels of leptin were associated with better performance among normal weight participants (BMI 18.5–24.9) kg/m2 (beta = 0.12, p = 0.02). No association was observed between leptin level and verbal memory test performance among participants who were overweight or obese. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the association between leptin and cognitive function is moderated by BMI category. Prospective examination of individuals transitioning from middle age to older adulthood will help to clarify the contribution of leptin to AD and other neurodegenerative conditions.

Published: February 2024

Background: Mid-life obesity is associated with cognitive impairment, though the relationship for late-life obesity is equivocal, and may depend on the anthropometric measure. Objective: We examined the relationship between adiposity and cognition across age categories, cognitive domains, and by measures of obesity in a multi-ethnic population-based cohort. Methods: The study included 1,179 Northern Manhattan Study participants with obesity measures at baseline (44% over-weight, 30% obese), an initial neuropsychological assessment conducted within 7 years (mean age = 70), and a second cognitive assessment conducted on average 6 years later. Z-scores were derived for cognitive domains (episodic and semantic memory, executive function, processing speed) and averaged to calculate global cognition. Body mass index (BMI) and waist:hip ratio (WHR) were examined in relation to cognitive performance and change over time, stratified by age, using linear regression models adjusting for vascular risk factors. Results: Among those age<65 years at baseline, greater WHR was associated with worse global cognitive performance at initial assessment and directly associated with decline in performance between assessments. The association with initial performance was strongest for non-Hispanic Whites (beta = –0.155/standard deviation, p = 0.04), followed by non-Hispanic Black/African Americans (beta = –0.079/standard deviation, p = 0.07), and Hispanics (beta = –0.055/standard deviation, p = 0.03). The associations were most apparent for the domains of processing speed and executive function. There was no association for BMI among those <65 years. Among those age ≥65, there was no association for BMI or WHR with cognitive performance at initial assessment nor decline over time. Conclusion: Our results support the detrimental effect of mid-life rather than later life obesity, particularly abdominal adiposity, on cognitive impairment and decline.
Subjective Cognitive Decline, Objective Cognition, and Depression in Older Hispanics Screened for Memory Impairment

Published: February 2024

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is common in older adults and may be an early marker of future cognitive decline. Research suggest that SCD is more closely related to concurrent symptoms of depression than to objective cognitive performance in non-Hispanic Whites, but it is unknown whether the associations of SCD, cognition, and depression manifest differently in Hispanic older adults. We examined if SCD is associated with objective cognitive performance or with depression symptoms in 145 Hispanic individuals ages 60 or older referred by community health clinics for screening of cognitive complaints. All participants lived near the U.S.-Mexico border, spoke Spanish only, or were Spanish-English bilingual. Memory-only and global cognitive composites were created from scores on Spanish versions of several neuropsychological tests. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and a five-item SCD questionnaire developed by our group were also completed. Multiple regression analyses showed no significant associations between SCD and memory or global cognitive composite scores after adjusting for age, sex, education, and GDS score. In contrast, there was a significant association between GDS and SCD after adjusting for age, sex, education, global and memory composite scores. Findings suggest that SCD does not accurately reflect current cognitive status in older Hispanics who present to their primary care physician with cognitive complaints. Clinicians should interpret SCD in this population within the context of information about symptoms of depression. Longitudinal research is needed in older Hispanics to better characterize SCD in this population and to determine if it can predict future cognitive decline.

Published: February 2024

To study the influence of the magnitude of the excitation current on the radial electromagnetic force wave of the tangential magnetizing parallel structure hybrid excitation synchronous motor (TMPS-HESM) under different working conditions. Firstly, the basic structure of the motor and the rotor magnetic circuit model is introduced. Secondly, considering the influence of excitation current, the Maxwell stress tensor method is used to analyze the radial electromagnetic force wave of the motor and the source, frequency and order of the radial electromagnetic force wave that has a great influence on the electromagnetic vibration of the motor are qualitatively obtained. Then, the three-dimensional finite element method is used to calculate the variation law of the radial electromagnetic force wave when different excitation currents are applied under no-load and load conditions, revealing that the DC excitation will increase the amplitude of the radial electromagnetic force wave of a specific order. Meanwhile, the influence of load torque variation on the radial electromagnetic force wave is discussed, and it is found that the (2 f, 8) and (6 f, 24) order electromagnetic force waves are greatly affected by the armature reaction. The work provides a theoretical basis for further suppressing the electromagnetic vibration of this type of hybrid excitation motor.
Managing climate risks in business using the precautionary principle
Authors:   National University “Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic”, Hryhorieva O. V.
Published: February 2024

The article states that the functioning of business in a changing environment associated with the aggravation of the climate crisis requires increased attention to uncertainty, identification and neutralization of possible climate risks that may adversely affect its functioning and further development, as well as the implementation of measures to adapt to climate change. It is emphasized that adaptation to climate change is a process of business adaptation in response to actual or expected destructive climate impacts, which allows to reduce their negative effects and take advantage of favorable opportunities. It is emphasized that climate risks are difficult to predict due to their radical uncertainty and unique properties, including unpredictability, difficulty of forecasting, complex dynamics and chain reaction effects. In addition, climate risks are irreversible and non-linear, so even minor climate change can lead to significant and even catastrophic consequences for businesses. Therefore, managing business climate risks is crucial, as the impact of secondary effects can affect the company's operations, leading to financial losses due to fluctuations in asset values. It is substantiated that forecasting of climate risks to business should be based on the results of studying the background of natural disasters that have affected the viability of business in previous years and the results of assessing its vulnerability to climate change. The methods for assessing climate risks to business, adapted for use in Ukrainian practice, are considered. A search for ways to manage business climate risks on the basis of the precautionary principle is carried out. It is proved that the proposed additions to the Methodological Recommendations for Assessing Risks and Vulnerability to Climate Change in Socio-Economic Sectors and Natural Components will allow clearly observing the trends in the priority of climate risks and promptly making decisions on their neutralization or minimization of their impact on economic activity. At the same time, they will simplify modelling of the impact of climate change on business in the short and long term, which will facilitate early adaptation measures and the creation of reserves to cover losses resulting from the occurrence of difficult to manage and/or unmanageable climate risks.

Authors: Amrullah Zen , Mutholingah Siti
Published: February 2024

Learning at the Pesantren Salaf is known as a learning system that uses traditional systems such as sorogan, bandongan, wetonan and tends not to use planned and systematically arranged learning tools. Therefore, even though the Pesantren Sidogiri is one of the pesantren salaf, this Islamic boarding school has learning innovations in the form of developing learning tools. The purpose of this research is to find out how the learning system is at the Pesantren Sidogiri and to find out how the learning innovations are at the Pesantren Sidogiri. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. The results of this study are that the learning system at the Pesantren Sidogiri includes 2 systems, namely the Ma'hadiyah system and the Madrasiyah system. The learning innovations at the Pesantren Sidogiri include learning planning in the form of a syllabus designed by a special body called the Badan Tarbiyah wa al-Ta'lim Madrasy (BATARTAMA) and the implementation of innovations in the development of learning devices using a systems approach model. The findings of the systems approach model in the development of pesantren learning tools are at the same time a novelty in this research.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Objective: The percentage of neonatal death continues to increase on a yearly basis, in which prematurity is the main cause of mortality. This study determines the descriptive outcomes between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLT), and cervical length as predictors of preterm birth.

Methods: A retrospective analytical study is conducted using medical records from Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital. The subjects of this study includes pregnant women diagnosed with preterm delivery in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital from April 2020 to June 2021. Data on neutrophil-lymphocyte and platelet-lymphocyte ratios were obtained from a complete blood test during admission. Cervical length is measured using transvaginal ultrasound. The three variables are compared to the control group, which consists of pregnant women with full term delivery.

Results: This study conducted a study with a total of 81 subjects with preterm delivery and 92 subjects with full term delivery. There were no significant difference in neutrophil-lymphocyte and platelet-lymphocyte ratios between preterm and a-term delivery (p=0.795 and p=0.475). Cervical length was significantly longer in preterm compared to full term delivery (24,50 vs 3,15 mm; p = 0,031). The neck cervical length of several participants was not assessed. Cervical length in preterm delivery obtained only 21 patients and data from 10 subjects from the full term group.

Conclusion: The ratio of neutrophil-lymphocyte and platelet-lymphocyte cannot be used as predictors of preterm birth in all pregnant women. To reduce bias in this research, studies with prospective study design with a specified subject criteria are needed.

Keywords: cervical length, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet lymphocyte ratio, premature delivery

На основі проведеного ретроспективного аналізу розвитку описової лексики молодших школярів з інтелектуальними порушеннями встановлено, що у дітей з інтелектуальними порушеннями описова лексика розвивається із затримкою. Це може призвести до труднощів у навчанні, соціальній адаптації та спілкуванні з іншими. Обсяги описової лексики у дітей з інтелектуальними порушеннями значно менші, ніж у молодших школярів без особливих освітніх потреб, діти з інтелектуальними порушеннями часто використовують описову лексику неточно або недоречно, розвиток описової лексики у дітей з інтелектуальними порушеннями є більш тривалим і трудомістким процесом. Проведений аналіз ефективності використання дидактичних ігор для розвитку описової лексики молодших школярів з інтелектуальними порушеннями дав змогу дійти висновку, що дидактичні ігри сприяють значному зростанню обсягів описової лексики у молодших школярів з інтелектуальними порушеннями, дидактичні ігри допомагають дітям з інтелектуальними порушеннями використовувати описову лексику більш точно й доречно, дидактичні ігри сприяють кращому засвоєнню описової лексики у дітей з інтелектуальними порушеннями. Підкреслено, що дидактичні ігри є ефективним засобом розвитку описової лексики молодших школярів з інтелектуальними порушеннями, дають змогу активізувати пізнавальні процеси, стимулювати інтерес до навчання та сприяти кращому засвоєнню описової лексики та можуть бути використані для розвитку описової лексики у дітей з різними рівнем інтелектуальних порушень. Для ефективного використання дидактичних ігор для розвитку описової лексики молодших школярів з інтелектуальними порушеннями рекомендується: вибирати дидактичні ігри, які відповідають рівню розвитку учня; враховувати індивідуальні особливості дитини; застосовувати дидактичні ігри в комплексі з іншими методами і прийомами навчання; систематично проводити контроль за результатами навчання.
Research Progress of New Urine Markers in the Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer
Authors: Lamichhane Rose
Published: February 2024

Bladder cancer is the tenth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and poses a great threat to human health. It has a high recurrence rate and requires long-term close monitoring and follow-up after surgery. At present, the most reliable method for the clinical diagnosis of bladder cancer is still cystoscopy and urine exfoliative cytology. However, cystoscopy is an invasive examination, which is often accompanied by complications such as infection, bleeding, pain and discomfort, and is cost ineffective. At the same time, the sensitivity of urine cytology for low-grade tumors is low, and the subjective factors of the examiners have a great impact on the test results. Urinary biomarkers have the advantages of non-invasive, safe, and simple detection, possessing clinical diagnostic value. At present, it has been found that many urine markers show higher sensitivity than urine exfoliative cytology in the detection of bladder cancer, but due to their poor specificity, they are not widely used in clinical practice. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find novel noninvasive and reliable method for the diagnosis of bladder cancer with high specificity and sensitivity. This article reviews the recent research progress of some new urine biomarkers in the diagnosis of bladder cancer.
The Electronic Boycott of Foreign Products and its Impact on the Purchasing Rate of the Jordanian Consumer for Products from Beirut Lights Company for Hygienic Paper Manufacturing
Authors: Afeef Mahmoud
Published: February 2024

This study investigated the effect of an electronic boycott of foreign products on the purchasing rate of Jordanian consumers for products from Beirut Lights company for hygienic paper manufacturing. This study collected data from 310 consumers purchasing products from Beirut Lights Company for Hygienic Paper Manufacturing using questionnaires. This study employed the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach and analysed the data. The results revealed that electronic boycotts (consumer animosity, consumer ethnocentrism, consumer efficacy, and product judgment) have significant and positive effects on purchasing rates. The results revealed that a 1% increase in Consumer Animosity would lead to an 18.5% increase in Purchasing Rate. Additionally, the results demonstrated that Purchasing Rate would increase by 15.2 percent with a 1% increase in Consumer Efficacy. Also, the results revealed that a 1% increase in Consumer Ethnocentrism would lead to a 23.5% increase in Purchasing Rate. Similarly, the results revealed that a 1% increase in Product Judgement would lead to a 44.1% increase in Purchasing Rate. For Western multinational corporations focused on expanding their foothold in the world's biggest consumer market, this study's conclusions have crucial consequences for decision-makers and management. The suppressed and intense emotion of hostility, which is a remnant of past hostilities, needs much more attention from the Beirut lights firm, which manufactures hygiene paper in Jordan. In other hostile market scenarios, the conclusions of this examination may be applicable to a strategic study of the boycott model.

Una «Gelegenheittsammlung» catalana del canzoniere R (BnF, fr. 22543)?
Authors: Menichetti Caterina
Published: February 2024

RIASSUNTO:  L’articolo esamina la serie finale della sezione R2 dello Chansonnier d’Urfé (R_162-R_193). Combinando l’analisi dell’epoca e dei contesti di produzione delle liriche; l’esame della loro tradizione manoscritta; e lo studio delle tecniche di compilazione del canzoniere C, parallelo di R, si avanza l’ipotesi che la sezione R2 sia debitrice di una raccolta d’occasione assemblata a ridosso del 1250, e particolarmente esposta a materiali di ascendenza catalana e a testi di ambiente italiano di argomento latamente «imperiale».

Exploring the Expression of Sexual Desire in Ancient Egypt through a Selection of Primary Sources: An Approach from the Emotional Perspective
Authors: Garzón Rodríguez Judit
Published: February 2024

Sexual desire involves a subjective experience that may differ significantly from one individual to another and is closely linked not only to personal preferences but also to the circumstances of the moment, cultural norms, and social expectations. When experiencing sexual desire, there are not only positive but also negative dynamics at play, and such an experience can also trigger a wide range of emotions that might differ depending on the circumstances of the moment. The aim of this paper is to explore the expression of sexual desire as well as its relationship to a broad spectrum of emotions through a selected group of ancient Egyptian textual sources, such as love songs. byJudit Garzón RodríguezJohannes Gutenberg University of Mainzjgarzon@unimainz.de
Home as survival: Seeing Queer archival lives
Authors: Cazenave Jennifer
Published: February 2024

As a teenager in the eighties, French filmmaker Sébastien Lifshitz scoured flea markets for amateur photographs. In 2013, he assembled a book titled The Invisibles comprised of snapshots depicting queer lives. He included a pair of Kodachrome images, which replicate a near-identical domestic scene in the 1960s: two aging women in their bourgeois home sit at a table, embracing as they look at the camera. Taking as a point of departure these personal photographs, this article focuses on two documentaries that queer postwar domesticity: Lifshitz’s The Invisibles (2011) and Magnus Gertten’s Nelly and Nadine (2022). In his film, Lifshitz not only includes postwar snapshots and home movies, but also reinvents the amateur dispositif. He interviews queer aging men and women inside their homes, challenging social exclusion and stigma based on gender nonconformity and aging. In Nelly and Nadine, a sexagenarian named Sylvie retrieves home movies from her attic that uncover a lesbian love story between her grandmother Nelly and a fellow survivor of Ravensbrück named Nadine. Decades later, the centrality of the domestic space and the amateur archive in these two documentaries offers a lesson in seeing the home as survival and unlearning the master narratives of the postwar era.
