The massive galaxy cluster El Gordo (z = 0.87) imprints multitudes of gravitationally lensed arcs onto James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) images. Eight bands of NIRCam imaging were obtained in the “Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science” (“PEARLS”) program. Point-spread function–matched photometry across Hubble Space Telescope and NIRCam filters supplies new photometric redshifts. A new light-traces-mass lens model based on 56 image multiplicities identifies the two mass peaks and yields a mass estimate within 500 kpc of (7.0 ± 0.30) × 1014
M
⊙. A search for substructure in the 140 cluster members with spectroscopic redshifts confirms the two main mass components. The southeastern mass peak that contains the brightest cluster galaxy is more tightly bound than the northwestern one. The virial mass within 1.7 Mpc is (5.1 ± 0.60)×1014
M
⊙, lower than the lensing mass. A significant transverse velocity component could mean the virial mass is underestimated. We contribute one new member to the previously known z = 4.32 galaxy group. Intrinsic (delensed) positions of the five secure group members span a physical extent of ∼60 kpc. 13 additional candidates selected by spectroscopic/photometric constraints are small and faint, with a mean intrinsic luminosity ∼2.2 mag fainter than L
*. NIRCam imaging admits a fairly wide range of brightnesses and morphologies for the group members, suggesting a more diverse galaxy population in this galaxy overdensity.
Coutumes et religion : quelques hypothèses à partir des lois sur l’idolâtrie de la michna Avoda Zara et du De idololatria de Tertullien

La michna Avoda Zara et le De idololatria de Tertullien proposent aux Juifs et aux chrétiens divers moyens de mener leur vie sans mettre en danger leur foi dans l’environnement empli d’idolâtrie de l’Empire romain dans lequel ils évoluent. Confrontés à la réalité des comportements de leurs coreligionnaires, attachés à des traditions ou des besoins sans rapport avec les principes de leur religion, les rédacteurs de ces textes sont forcés de s’adapter et de trouver un moyen de justifier la persistance de certaines traditions dans leur entreprise de définition de l’identité de leur communauté. Cette étude propose d’observer les mécanismes mis en œuvre dans ce contexte.
Conceptualizing the Emerging Field of Different Learning
Environment Theories Using DEMATEL Method
Authors: Nirmala Shivram Padmavat
Published: July 2023

The controlling value theory of emotions' applicability to distance learning settings is examined in this discussion. The control value theory served as the theoretical foundation for four of the empirical research in this special issue of Net and Higher Education, and it was implicit in numerous others. As a result, we looked at each essay's emotional expression, emotional antecedents, and educational outcomes in relation to the management science of emotions. The findings of these research generally concur with those of conventional classrooms, indicating that there aren't many emotional distinctions between face-to-face classroom setting and "online learning environments". The fact that control and value judgements consistently serve as antecedents of particular emotions, despite the fact that students' learning settings varied significantly, may be a major factor in the similarities in emotions that have been found. We conclude with suggestions for additional study. In several disciplines, the "Decision-Making Test and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL)" approach is used to pinpoint crucial elements of straightforward systems. Although DEMATEL has undergone significant improvement, they are still best suited for simple systems and are unable to address decision-making issues in complicated systems. The main goal of this paper is to offer a hierarchical DEMATEL approach for complicated systems with many system components, several forms of impacts, and hierarchy. In contrast to horizontal decomposition, which deals with the presence of numerous types of influencing factors, and vertical decomposition, which deals with the presence of several key dimensions and hierarchy, hierarchies’ decomposition was initially developed to provide a framework for standardizing the DEMATEL dilemma of complex systems. To create direct operating (IDR) matrices for each element in each subsystem, a direct influence assessment is suggested. A hyper IDR matrix is then specified and created by merging the IDR matrices throughout all pairs all subsystems starting at the lowest level. a high rate of turnover. Online learning, e-learning, distributed learning, e-learning and distributed learning, e-learning & online learning, and any other learning contexts. Different learning environment in Distance learning (A1) is got sixth rank, e-Learning(A2) is got seventh rank, Online learning(A3) is got fifth rank, Distance learning and e-Learning (A4) is got fourth rank, Distance learning and online learning (A5) is got first rank, e-Learning and online learning (A6) is got second rank and All learning environments (A7) is got third rank.
An Assessment on the Information Needs and Seeking Behaviours of Rural Farmers in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria
Authors: Jwat Mary Yusuf , Wumbuet Ruth Kutlat
Published: July 2023

This study investigated assessment on the information needs and seeking behaviours of farmers in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State. There were four primary goals for the study and four related research topics that helped direct the investigation. Descriptive survey methodology was utilized in this research, with a questionnaire serving as the primary data collector. There were 2,000 farmers in the population, and 190 of them were randomly selected to be in the sample. The information was gathered with the use of a well-structured questionnaire. Farmers in Jos North Local Government Area face challenges like a language barrier, insufficient extension services/workers, and an inaccessible agricultural information infrastructure, among others, according to the study’s findings. Farmers previously relied on word of mouth, cooperative societies, family, and friends for agricultural advice. It was determined that the agricultural information resources available to farmers in the Jos North LGA of Plateau State are uninspiring. There is a lack of language support, extension worker services, financial support, public awareness, and current information that prevents farmers in the Jos North LGA from making informed decisions. Many suggestions were made, including that politicians at all three levels of government keep their word, that rural areas establish adult education programs, that agricultural agents, such as extension workers, be made available in all rural areas, and that the government hire and send extension workers to the countryside to help them produce higher-quality crops.

Preguntas actuales acerca de una vieja historia. El estudio de la religión desde las ciencias sociales en Centroamérica
Authors: Samandú Luis
Published: July 2023

Religion permeates politics, economics, society and culture in Central America. Its role can be decisive when it comes to social and political change. This paper reconstructs the research endeavors on the relationship between popular religious movements and social change, carried out by the social sciences in Central America forty years ago. For the first time, there was a reading of the dynamism of the religious field and the transformations of religious consciousness in the context of social and political processes. But this was just a step without continuity.
Today the reality has become even more complex. Pentecostalism is the religious actor that has continued to grow in social and political importance in this region. However, a sociological thinking of religious phenomena from Central America has yet to be constructed. It means developing a framework that makes it possible to integrate efforts currently dispersed to understand the interweaving of relations between religion and socio-political processes.

Grid Synchronization Failure Detection on Sensing the Frequency and Voltage beyond the Ranges
Authors: Maddilety S. , Reddy K. Meenendranath , Reshma S. , Sankar Babu Dr. P. , Srikanth V.
Published: July 2023

The goal of this project is to create a tool that can sense frequency and voltage deviations in order to identify whether an external power source has lost sync with the power grid. Hydroelectric, thermal, solar, and other forms of renewable energy are only some of the sources that feed the system and ultimately the load. These power plants must meet all grid regulations when supplying electricity. Central Electricity Agency of India Regulations of 2010 state that the system power should fluctuate by no more than 5% and that the rate of operation should be kept as near to 50 Hz as possible while not exceeding the range of 49.2 to 50.3 Hz in any case. Limits on voltage and frequency swings are part of these guidelines. If a feeder's voltage or current goes outside the safe range for the grid, the feeder must be isolated, or "islanded," from the rest of the system. This avoids widespread power interruptions of any kind. To prevent a total collapse of the grid, it is desirable to have a mechanism that can issue a warning in advance.

Interpretação das estruturas arquitetônicas da senzala do sítio arqueológico Engenho Monjope
Authors: Allen Scott J , Rocha Andreia Cavalcanti
Published: July 2023

A arqueologia dos engenhos de açúcar tem aumentado continuamente nos últimos anos, acrescentando informações sobre os mais diversos temas, como métodos construtivos, avanços tecnológicos e de processamento, organização social e econômica, escravidão etc. Embora a organização espacial dos engenhos seja geralmente conhecida – casa grande, capela, moenda e senzala – a persistência dessas propriedades rurais ao longo dos séculos torna a interpretação do registro arqueológico um desafio, particularmente saliente para as senzalas. Embora as casas grande, igrejas e moendas muitas vezes mantivessem funções relacionadas em alguma medida com seus propósitos originais, as senzalas, frequentemente efêmeras na sua construção, eram reconfiguradas ou demolidas, especialmente em períodos recuados. esses processos pós-deposicionais podem criar sequências estratigráficas tão complexas quanto aquelas em contextos urbanos, criando dificuldades na associação de conjuntos de artefatos com evidências estruturais. Neste artigo, apresentamos as estruturas visíveis e arqueológicas relacionadas à senzala no sítio arqueológico Engenho Monjope, na tentativa de documentar e interpretar essas características para orientar futuras escavações.

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF HUMOUR AS AN ASPECT OF SATIRE IN SELECTED SONGS OF OKOT P’BITEK: SONG OF MALAYA, SONG OF LAWINO AND SONG OF OCOL
Authors: JARED OCHIENG
Published: July 2023

Humour is essentially part of our daily lives. There seems to be life and liveliness whenever we incorporate humour even to a small extent. Based on this concept, this study sought to explore the use of humour and how it leads to successful satirizing of situations in OkotP’Bitek’s three selected texts - Song of Malaya, Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol. It aimed at giving different definitions of humour and then going ahead to show that humour is subjective, that is, what one considers as humour may differ from another person's interpretation within the same context of use. Successful use of satire relies on effective use of humour and this is important to both writers and the readers in that whereas the writer will comfortably relay issues of concern, the readers will not get offended even when the issues being relayed touch on their personal lives. This study had three objectives: to identify humour in satirical contexts in S. O. M, S. O. O and S. O. L, to show that humour is arbitrary in the selected songs, and finally to demonstrate that use of humour leads to successful relay of negative themes in the three songs. The aim of the study was to show that satire cannot be successfully used without incorporating humour. Therefore, satire and humour are integral. Various contexts were considered in the three songs in order to find out contexts that contain humour. In particular, the songs were studied in contexts of politics, religion and culture so as to provide a more organized in-depth analysis. Study population was limited to the three songs and only samples of data were picked to achieve the study objectives. One theory of reference which was heavily relied on in this study was Reader Response theory by Stanley Fish. The study design was qualitative in nature. Cresswell (1998) observes that a study design aims at exploring in depth, insight and the wealthy ideas of a phenomenon. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources and were particularly based on a library research. Primary data was data which was collected afresh for the first time. On the other hand, secondary data was data that had already been collected in order to be used again. After obtaining data, analysis was done on the content. It was textual analysis. Towards the end there were conclusions and recommendations that would give summaries and future actions respectively.

Published: July 2023

Con el aparecimiento de nuevas tecnologías, los niños y niñas en edad preescolar presentan gran interés y curiosidad por las mismas, ya que son fáciles de usar y pueden entenderlas rápido; sin embargo, mientras no haya una supervisión por parte de los progenitores, el uso que les den a los aparatos tecnológicos puede desencadenar varios problemas, tanto físicos como psicológicos. Centrándose en los trastornos que pueden surgir por este abuso, se consideró al Trastorno por Déficit de la Atención e Hiperactividad (TDAH) como uno de los más se manifiestan en la infancia. Por lo tanto, se partió de la hipótesis sobre si existe relación alguna entre el uso excesivo y la presencia del TDAH en niños de edad preescolar. Así, mediante una metodología de diseño descriptivo no experimental de enfoque cuantitativo, se aplicó un cuestionario anónimo a madres y padres de familia con hijos en edad preescolar. Los resultados revelaron un alto uso del celular, cambios en el comportamiento, dificultades de atención e hiperactividad, problemas de sueño, impulsos, impacto en el desarrollo socioemocional y rendimiento escolar. De esta manera, se logró concluir que existe gran probabilidad de que el uso prolongado e inadecuado del celular se relacione con la presencia de síntomas del TDAH en niños y niñas de edad preescolar; por lo que, la intervención de los padres, como parte esencial para limitar y enseñarles a sus hijos sobre este dispositivo, permite crear una relación sana con la tecnología, y así aprender a ocuparlas debidamente desde una temprana edad.
The props propelleth the performance: Prop elements in the celebration of Edina Bakatue festival
Authors:   Department of Theatre and Film Studies, University of Cape Coast, Ghana, Brako Daniel Kofi
Published: July 2023

The Edina Bakatue festival is one of the traditional festivals celebrated in Ghana by the people of Elmina in the Central Region. The celebration of this festival serves as an avenue for showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the people. For this celebration, props feature prominently. Although there is a plethora of studies on festivals in Ghana, there is a dearth of research on the significance of prop elements in traditional Ghanaian festivals. Engaging a qualitative approach to research, employing the purposive sampling technique to select twelve (12) participants, and relying on multiple data collection instruments (observation, interviews, and photographs), this study sought to explore the significance of prop elements in the celebration of the Edina Bakatue festival. Underpinned by performance theory, the findings of the study revealed that prop elements serve as status and power for the Paramount chief, for identity and commemoration, for the spiritual protection of chiefs and other traditional rulers, and finally for the display of culture. With a wealth of scholarly findings, the study recommends that prop elements used in the celebration of the festival be preserved for future generations. Ultimately, this study contributes to scholarship on prop elements within the Ghanaian cultural space.

Refrações históricas e culturais nas transições educacionais recentes: o exemplo dos países europeus do antigo bloco socialista
Authors: Goodson Ivor , Mikser Rain
Published: July 2023

Trinta anos após a queda do bloco soviético, ainda persiste uma retórica de diferenciação e polarização discursiva entre os padrões educacionais ocidentais e não ocidentais. Tal retórica ofusca uma semelhança potencial, ou homogeneidade, entre os diversos contextos dominantes e marginalizados. Variações regionais, locais e pessoais são prematuramente atribuídas a diferenças culturais fundamentais, embora muitas vezes mal fundamentadas. Procuramos apresentar e resumir preliminarmente os entendimentos existentes quanto à refração na educação e na pesquisa social. Usada esporadicamente, mas raramente definida, a metáfora da refração apresenta: (a) uma multiplicidade de pontos de vista como incentivo à pesquisa social; (b) um progresso científico não relativista como valor final para a compreensão da realidade social; (c) uma abordagem equilibrada em relação à homogeneidade e heterogeneidade na pesquisa social; (d) uma orientação substancialmente histórica para analisar a homogeneidade e a heterogeneidade. A educação nos países europeus do antigo bloco socialista permite demonstrar como são retoricamente exageradas a diferença e a heterogeneidade e como as variações podem ser abordadas de forma mais adequada por meio da análise de refrações.
Validation of Mentee-Teachers’ Assessment Tool within the Framework of Generalisability Theory at the Faculty of Education, University for Development Studies
Authors: Iddrisu Simon Alhassan
Published: July 2023

Practitioners in assessment and other researchers have over the years expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of consistency in scores obtained from use of multiple measurement instruments.  Such scores derived from these largely inconsistent and unreliable procedures are relied upon by decision makers in taking very important decisions in education, health and other related fields. The purpose of this study therefore, was to apply the G theory procedures to validate the mentee assessment tool being used at the Faculty of Education, University for Development Studies. The G study involved estimating the generalisability (reliability-like) coefficients of mentees’ assessment scores, and determining the level of acceptability (validity) of these coefficients. A nested design was used because different sets of raters assessed different student-mentees on different occasions in the field. The relationship among these variables (facets); students, raters and occasions, appropriately mirrored a nested relationship. Data obtained by raters on 300 students, in the 2018/2019 off-campus teaching practice, were entered into EDUG software for relevant analysis of the results. The study found that both rater and student facets accounted for the largest measurement errors in mentees’ observed scores, reporting an estimated G coefficient of 0.62(62%), and representing a positive moderate relationship. Based on these findings, the study concluded that, the quality of mentee observed scores could be improved for either relative or absolute decisions by varying the number of levels of both raters and occasions. To achieve acceptable G coefficient values of 0.83 and above, it is recommended that, decision makers employ a model that uses four raters per occasion for three occasions of assessment.

Published: July 2023

The object of the study is the image processing process in preparation for data transmission, as well as subsequent recovery. The subject of the study is the application of parallel computing in image processing tasks. The purpose of the article is to study the method of image reconstruction with correction of distortion of the transmission vector based on the input of a value in the trend of its neighbors. The relevance of this topic is determined by the need to effectively perform the operations preceding and following the transmission over the communication channel. During the experimental part, the results were obtained in the form of execution time values with sequential execution and using parallel calculations, which gave the expected increase in speed-up. Since the image consists of unrelated parts, it can be successfully processed by applying data parallelization.
Development and Application of a Heat-Transfer Experimental System for the Mechanical Engineering Applied Experiment
Authors: Woo Jinseok , Hara Minoru , Ohyama Yasuhiro
Published: July 2023

Experimental education imparted at universities is essential for students to confirm their theoretical knowledge. Experiments, in general, can deal with real-world data that theory or simulation cannot handle. However, there are experimental subjects where it is difficult to obtain results according to the theory. Among them, heat conduction is a subject wherein it is difficult to obtain theoretical results because it is difficult to establish an experimental environment. Therefore, it is highly important to design experimental content using students’ perspectives, such as theory and practical experiments. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of education on the design and application of experimental apparatus for a heat-transfer experiment, which is a part of an experiment conducted by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tokyo University of Technology. Furthermore, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed experimental system based on students’ behavior, comprehension, satisfaction, and subsequent results.
A Comparative Evaluation of Effectiveness of Three Techniques of Retrieval of Separated Endodontic Instruments from Curved Root Canals (An In Vitro Study)
Authors: Mohamed Mariam Ahmed
Published: July 2023

Introduction:Root canal preparation is an important step of root canal treatment, it includes proper cleaning and shaping of the canals. Root canal mechanical preparation can be carried out using manual or rotary instruments.Nickel-titanium instruments provide more centered preparation inside canals so, less procedural errors. Despite these advantages, separation of rotary NiTi instruments during use has become a real concern among dental practitioners especially endodontists. There have been many methods for retrieval of separated instruments such as ulrasonics, loop pen system and xp-shaper file. To our knowledge there are no studies on the effect of using different retrieval methods on root fracture resistance, retrieval time and success.
Methodology: 27 extracted human mandibular molars with 15-30 degree angle of curvature (moderate curve) with rotary Ni-Ti broken file size 25 taper 6 in middle third of canal and dividing teeth into three groups.
Trait specific genetic resources to break the yield plateau in finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.).
Authors: Reddy Yellodu Adi Reddy Nanja , Gowda M.V. Channabyre
Published: July 2023

Previously, most breeding efforts were aimed at direct selection for grain yield, and the yield improvement of finger millet in the last two decades is showing a declining trend. Hence, breeding efforts need to be prioritized for trait based improvement. Therefore, to select genetic resources for traits linked to grain yield, selected accessions and popular varieties were evaluated under field conditions in the rainy season of two consecutive years. Data were analyzed for ANOVA, correlations, path effects, and multiple regressions to identify the best-contributing traits for grain yield. The independent parameters, mean ear-head weight (MEW), ear-head number/ plant (ENo.), and threshing percentage were the highest contributors to grain yield. The genotypes for higher mean ear-head weight (GE-4683, 10.31 g, and GE-4596, 10.22 g), and productive tillers (RAU-8, 126.4 m− 2, and PR-202, 104.7 m− 2) were selected over the popular cv. GPU-28 (7.59g average ear-weight and 72.7 PT m− 2, respectively). Theoretical incorporation of higher MEW and ear-head number/plant from the identified lines into cv. GPU-28 predicted an increased grain yield of 17.8% and 29.5%, respectively, indicating the possibility of enhancing grain yield of finger millet. These selected donors can also be used in developing Multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population.
Machine learning aided multiclass classification, regression, and cluster analysis of groundwater quality variables congregated from the YSR district
Authors: Mogaraju Jagadish Kumar
Published: July 2023

In this study, machine learning classifiers are integrated with the geostatistical analyses. The data extracted from the surface maps derived from ordinary kriging were passed onto ML algorithms, resulting in prediction accuracies of 95% (Gradient Boosting Classifier) for classification and 91% (Random Forest Regressor) for Regression. Kmeans clustering model provided better results in clustering analysis based on Silhouette, Calinski-Harabasz, and Davies-Bouldin metrics. However, there was certain overfitting in the prediction, probably due to limited data available for analysis. In addition, the interpolation methods might have affected the model performance by producing overfitting and underfitting results. It is to report that the Gradient Boosting classifier in classification mode yielded relatively high prediction accuracies in predicting groundwater quality when three classes were used. The Random Forest Regressor in regression mode returned better results in predicting groundwater quality features when multiple classes were used in this study. This work reports that machine learning algorithms can predict groundwater quality with minimal expense and expertise.
Decarbonising the Australian Economy: A First Step
Authors: Kalam Akhtar , Weeks Warren , Hogan Brad
Published: July 2023

In response to pressure from all sides, governments around the world
have com-mitted to decarbonising their economies within the next thirty
years. Taken literally, this would involve eliminating the use of
naturally occurring hydrocarbons such as coal, natural gas, and oil.
However, based on their analysis of data drawn from ac-ademic papers,
the Australian Federal Government, energy industry bodies, and
manufacturers of electricity generating equipment, the authors believe
at this time, such elimination of fossil fuel use is simply not
possible. That said, by moving to a connected energy island (CEI) power
generation topology, the data suggest we can at once: create a
sustainably robust energy supply, move Australia closer to its
environmental targets, and underpin the country’s future economic
well-being.
Institutional Characteristics of the Hungarian Grain Sector - Research Methodology
Authors: Majóczki-Katona Szilvia
Published: July 2023

The article presents the institutions of the grain product path (transaction costs, applied economics of contracts). The article presents the method of research. Due to limited space, the concrete facts, figures, and results are not presented. The aim of this paper is to identify the factors which influence the development or lack of contractual relationships, as well as how vertical coordination could contribute to the improvment and stabilization of terms between the participants involved in the sector. The conditions under which the contracts are made, as well as the differences that exist in practice and the reasons why the different controlling structures are applied are also presented. A questionnaire was used to collect details about each participant of the grain sector. In this article, the structure of the questionnaire, the main characteristics of the survey, as well as the collection of hypotheses of the expected results based on the analizations, are also introduced.

jesuita Pedro de Vitoria (1579-1650) y la reedición de su libro Naufragio y Peregrinación
Authors: Soto Artuñedo Wenceslao
Published: July 2023

Pedro Gobeo de Vitoria, sevillano de 13 años, se había embarcado en Cádiz para América en 1593, con ansias de hacerse rico con el oro de Perú. Después de muchas peripecias y padecimientos, llegó a Lima tras recorrer 840 km de la costa de Las Esmeraldas. Se hizo jesuita y 15 años después volvió a España, donde se mostró inadaptado. Después de residir en diversos colegios de Andalucía, pidió las dimisorias, y fue despedido de la Compañía en 1628, pero siguió viviendo en Sevilla, donde murió en 1650. Escribió un libro con su odisea, cuya publicación fue gestionada por su madre en 1610, y tuvo difusión en Europa (donde se publicaron algunas traducciones) y América, pero la edición original prácticamente es desconocida, hasta que ha sido descubierto un ejemplar en la universidad de Mannheim, con el cual la obra ha sido reeditada en 2023. Es un libro catalogado como muy raro.
Text Classification of Mixed Model Based on Deep Learning
Authors: Lee Sang-Hwa
Published: July 2023

At present, deep learning has been widely used many fields, but the research on text classification is still relatively few. This paper makes full use of the good learning characteristics of deep learning, proposes a hybrid model based on deep learning, and designs a text classifier based on the hybrid model. This hybrid model uses two common deep learning models, sparse automatic encoder and deep confidence network, to mix. The hybrid model is mainly composed of three parts, the first two layers are constructed by sparse automatic encoder, the middle layer is a three-layer depth Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and finally Softmax regression is used as the classification layer. In order to test the classification performance of the classifier based on deep learning hybrid model, relevant experiments were conducted on English data set 20Newsgroup and Chinese data set Fudan University Chinese Corpus. In the English text classification experiment, the classifier based on deep learning hybrid model is used to classify, and a high classification accuracy rate is obtained. In order to further verify the superiority of its performance, a comparative experiment with naive Bayes classifier, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier demonstrates that the classification effect of the classifier based on deep learning hybrid model is better than that of naive Bayes classifier, KNN classifier and support vector machine classifier. In the experiment of Chinese text classification, the Chinese corpus of Fudan University is tested, and a good classification effect is obtained. The influence of different parameter settings on the classification accuracy is discussed.

Abstract

Introduction: The effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D) on inflammation are gaining attention, particularly for diabetic individuals with COVID-19. Therefore, we examined 25(OH) D and inflammation-related markers in diabetic subjects with mild COVID-19.

Materials and Methods: This investigation was intended to be retrospective. The present study covered the medical records of patients who applied to the our hospital between March 2020 and November 2022. All patients suffer from COVID-19. The control group (n = 30) had no diabetes, while the study group (n = 36) had diabetes. Inflammatory markers such as ferritin, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were measured in addition to 25 (OH) D levels in each subject. Also, the results of the complete blood count were obtained from the hospital database.

Results: Our participants were matched in terms of gender and age between study groups. ESR, CRP, ferritin, and 25 (OH) D levels, among other variables, did not significantly differ between the non-DM and DM groups (p>0.05). Also, we evaluated all participants according to deficiency of 25 (OH) D, and inflammatory markers were not evaluated in diabetic subjects with COVID-19. However, our findings showed that ferritin levels and Hba1c levels in diabetic individuals significantly correlated positively.

Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus and deficiency of 25 (OH) D are known as risk factors for COVID-19. But as compared to non-diabetic participants with COVID-19, our findings did not reveal any considerable elevation neither inflammatory markers nor changes 25 (OH) D in the diabetics.
Vers un « état écologique de droit » ? Les notions de Buen vivir et de Développement perdurable des pays d'Amérique du Sud
Authors: Sozzo Gonzalo
Published: July 2023

Cet article explique la possible contribution du droit, tel qu'il émerge dans certains pays d’Amérique du Sud, à la création d'un «état écologique de droit » à l'échelle globale. Une telle contribution peut être appréhendée comme une construction susceptible de réorienter les objectifs du développement durable vers une vision nouvelle et plus holistique, prête à relever les défis de l'Anthropocène. L’article cartographie les modèles de protection juridique de la nature – le «Bon vivre » et le «développement perdurable » – qui émergent en Amérique du Sud et décrit les processus récents d’hybridation et de globalisation de ces modèles en les inscrivant dans les débats contemporains portant sur les relations entre le droit et l’Anthropocène.
