Correction of Pharmacogenic Sexual Dysfunctions
Authors: Kocharyan Garnik
Published: October 2023

The problem of sexual dysfunction, which can occur in any phase of the sexual response cycle, prevents both men and women from satisfaction of sexual activity. Among the most frequent causes of sexual dysfunctions are the side effects of certain medications, as well as the different psychogenic and somatogenic factors.
There are the following strategies that can be useful in eliminating/reducing or preventing the development of adverse side effects of drugs in the sexual sphere: 1. Waiting for the development of tolerance in relation to the drug taken. Attention should be paid to the fact that complete elimination of sexual dysfunction is limited to a small number of cases and may require long time. 2.The reducing of the drug dose. 3. The use of variable drug doses that have a longer half-life. 4. Temporary cancellation of taking medicines, which may, however, lead to the development of a withdrawal syndrome and/or the recovery of psychopathological symptoms. 5. The drug is changed with another one with a similar effect to the main disease, that does not cause adverse side effects to the sexual sphere. 6. Since the change of one drug for another within the same pharmacological group may be ineffective, sometimes the use of other methods, such as psychotherapy, may be recommended. 7. The prescription of pharmacological agents that eliminate these effects of the main drug, which causes negative side effects in the sexual sphere. 8. The choice of intercourse time, which is related to the dose of an antidepressant, which can negatively affect sexual functions.
A careful approach to the sexual functions save and changes associated with the use of drugs can help to overcome anxiety of sexual dysfunction and to motivate patients for treatment, preservation of sexual health and health in general.

The Effect of Indonesian Army Training on the Performance and Professionalism of Army Soldiers
Authors: Wicaksono Bimo Satriyo Condro , Prambudi Bono , Mulyanti Rita Yuni
Published: October 2023

Professionalism is the essential commitment of the Indonesian Armed Forces as an organization that is in charge of upholding the sovereignty of Indonesia. However, due to the decrease in professionalism and performance, training was deemed less effective. This leads to the conclusion that training elements purportedly influence the performance and professionalism of the Indonesian Army. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the effect of Army training on the performance and professionalism of the Indonesian Army. This study used structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze primary data from the units that participated in the Battalion Combat Team East Kalimantan joint operation exercise in 2022. It indicates that while Army training improves performance, it does not affect the Army's professionalism. The performance also has a favorable effect on the Army's professionalism. The roles of some of the trainees were incompatible with their regular occupations, and the data revealed that not all the weapon systems had been deployed. The exciting thing is that performance can indirectly mediate the influence of training on the professionalism of the Army soldiers, which means that the higher the training, the higher the performance, which in turn affects professionalism. The data used generally do not represent all units within the Indonesian territory. The research has several differences from previous research, such as testing the effect of training on professionalism through the mediation variables of the performance of the Indonesian Army, using different dimensions, and the lack of research in the Army.
The Effect of Different Leadership Styles on Job Satisfaction
Authors: Saeed Sarkar Ahmed , Ali Soma Omed , Rashid Kawthar Majid
Published: October 2023

Leadership styles are a significant factor in achieving job satisfaction and directing it to achieve organizational goals. Every manager should consider employees as the organization's most critical asset to provide welfare and increase job satisfaction. Leadership styles are designed to improve job satisfaction. Data for this study were collected using a questionnaire forum developed for this purpose and distributed across the sample. We obtained a response rate of approximately 252 responses through simple random sampling. The data was entered and analyzed using correlation and regression models with the assistance of SPSS version 25, a statistical program. The findings indicated that all styles (democratic – autocratic – laissez-faire) of leadership styles significantly impact employees' job satisfaction. However, if it is the democratic leadership style that employees prefer and the positive impact on job satisfaction, which is the best one that shows higher job satisfaction? In contrast, autocratic and laissez-faire leadership styles are not accepted and harm the employees, resulting in lower job satisfaction.

Published: October 2023

This paper examined the relationship between employee traits and organizational performance in Namibia's Commercial Public Enterprises (CPEs) succession planning. The study was conducted on a total population of 47 participants drawn from 22 CPEs in Namibia. Primary data were collected using closed-ended research questionnaires and interviews, and qualitative data analyses were employed. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data, while correlation was performed to determine the relationships among the variables. Qualitative data was gathered through interviews to gauge the targeted managers' attitudes, beliefs, values, and experiences with executive leadership succession planning. The majority of respondents indicated the following as essential factors to consider in recruitment for succession planning of CPEs: the successor's age, education, experience in commercial PPEs, outside management experience, past performance, knowledge and skills in marketing, finance, strategic planning, interpersonal skill, technical knowledge and skill, decision making ability, experience, compatibility of goals with current CEO/MD, commitment to the business, psychological traits, respect from employees and trust by employees. This study provides further evidence on succession planning challenges, such as the organization's size and failure to retain employees. This study serves as a reference for the management of CPEs in Namibia for effective succession planning.
Effects of soil inhomogeneity on seepage behavior within embankments
Authors: Nakashima Koji , Kawai Katsuyuki , Yoshida Hideaki
Published: October 2023

Heavy rain events that accompany recent climate change, have triggered disasters of embankment structures, such as road embankment and levee. Internal erosion, which is the migration of soil particles following seepage flow, causes inhomogeneity of the soil properties of the embankment. However, there are very few studies investigating the effects of soil inhomogeneities on the seepage behavior of groundwater within embankment. In this study, small-scale modelling tests were performed under repeated seepage flow histories. As a result, the groundwater table gradually increased in accordance with the number of seepage repetition. Modelling the fluctuation of permeability due to internal erosion following seepage flow was additionally performed using the soil/water/air coupled finite element analysis, and seepage behavior was investigated. In these analyses, the lower permeability of the toe of embankment was shown to possibly cause an increase in upward water pressure.
Investigation on the impact of curing conditions on the behavior of controlled low-strength material as basement of rural roads in the Mekong Delta
Authors: Lee Sang Yum , Thi To Trinh Vo , Minh Le Tri Ho
Published: October 2023

This study investigates the performance of controlled low-strength material (CLSM) in the challenging Mekong Delta climate, which experiences rapid weather fluctuations, acid rain erosion, uneven mixture gradation, and subpar aggregate quality. Additionally, difficulties in sieving and quality control have led to the disposal of dredged soil in construction sites. The research aims to enhance the practical use of CLSM as a foundation for rural roads in the Mekong Delta by incorporating dredged soil and mineral additives (6% silica fume, 25% bottom ash) under various curing conditions, including normal, acidic, and salted environments. The study assesses CLSM strength through flowability, setting time, and unconfined compressive strength tests. Findings highlight the significant influence of curing conditions on both early and 28-day CLSM strength, with harsh environments compromising cement hydration. Optimizing dredged soil content and mineral components can bolster CLSM strength and promote sustainable use of dredged soil in construction.

Authors: Rafian T. , Yurnalis Y.
Published: October 2023

This study aims to determine the polymorphism of the IGF-1 gene in Bayang ducks using the PCR-RFLP method. This study used 120 blood samples of Bayang ducks in Kampung Binuang Dalam, Padang City, West Sumatra Province. Bayang duck blood samples were taken through the brachial vein for ± 1 mL. DNA extraction was taken from the blood using the Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega) Protocol. DNA was amplified using a pair of primers F: 5'- CCA GGA ATA TCT TTG GAA GCT GT-3 and R: 5'- TGC TAC GTT ACC AGC CTT GA -3 'which produced a 433 bp fragment of exon 3 IGF-1 gene, and F: 5'- CTG GAG CAG GCA GGA AAA TT - 3 'and R: 5'- TCC AGG GAC AGT GAC TCA AC -3' which produced 801 bp fragments of exon 4 IGF-1 gene. The amplification product was restricted by the DdeI enzyme, which recognized the C↓TNAG slashing site (N = G, A, T, C) for the exon three and MnII regions, which recognized the CAC↓GTG cutting site for the exon four regions. The cutting of the IGF-1 exon three gene product in Bayang ducks using DdeI as a restriction enzyme only recognized the C↓TNAG cutting site. The cutting results visualized with 2% agarose gel showed two genotypes: homozygous (+ / +) of 41 samples and the heterozygote (+/-) genotype of 60 samples. The cutting of the IGF-1 exon four gene product in Shadow ducks using MnII as a restriction enzyme only recognized the CAC↓GTG cutting site. The cutting results visualized with 2% agarose gel showed three types of genotypes, namely four samples homozygous (+/+), 67 samples heterozygous (+/-), and 49 samples homozygous (-/-). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the IGF-1 gene in Bayang ducks is polymorphic, with the frequency of the IGF-1|DdeI genotype being in a hardy-weinberg imbalance, and the IGF-1|MnII genotype in a hardy-weinberg equilibrium.

Effects of feedback in shaping market intuition for apartment rentals
Authors: Shimamune Satoru
Published: October 2023

This research focused on the learning processes involved in acquiring market intuition for apartment rentals. A total of twenty-seven university students took part in the experiment, wherein they were assigned the task of estimating the rental prices based on a given set of property information. The 120 sets of property information were generated by combining five factors: Building structures, lighting conditions, floor plans (spaces), walking distance from the nearest station, and building age. The rental prices were then calculated for each property. During the baseline trials, the participants provided their estimations for each property. Subsequently, the participants were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions. In the CR condition, the correct rental price was presented alongside the property information, without requiring the participants to estimate it. In the CR-F condition, the correct rental price was presented immediately after the estimation as feedback. In the CRV-F condition, verbal praises were added. Lastly, in the CRD-F condition, the average discrepancies between the estimation and correct rental price over the ten most recent trials were provided. Data analysis was conducted on the responses of 24 participants who completed over 80% of the trials within a 40-minute timeframe. The findings indicated that their estimations became more accurate compared to the baseline, with no discernible differences observed between the experimental conditions. These results suggest that, through multiple exemplar training, the acquisition of market intuition can be achieved even within a relatively short period of time. However, it is worth noting that the participants' verbal descriptions regarding the relationship between the property information and rental prices did not exhibit the same level of accuracy. This raises further research inquiries regarding the controlling variables that influence price estimation.
Pro-Climate Statements from Elon Musk can Persuade Republicans on Climate Change
Authors: Orchinik Reed , Rand David Gertler
Published: October 2023

Addressing human-caused climate change is of paramount importance but a large minority of Americans either do not believe that human-caused climate change is occurring or do not think it is a policy priority. Resistance to addressing climate change is particularly concentrated on the American political right, a group that is difficult to persuade. Leveraging technologist Elon Musk's embrace of the right, we design and test an intervention that shows Republicans the pro-environmental stances that Musk has taken. We find that the treatment significantly increases Republicans' climate beliefs and intended actions. The predicted treatment effect is positive for almost all participants and there is no impact on participants attitudes towards Musk, suggesting that this is a low-cost and scalable intervention with minimal risk.
The Climate Emergency, the Biodiversity Crisis and the ‘Doomsday Argument’.
Authors: Blaber Richard Michael
Published: October 2023

This paper will argue that the global capitalist economy was founded, and depends, on the consumption of fossil fuels, and the increase in supply of renewable energy in the next three decades will not alter that fact significantly, given both economic and demographic growth and Jevons’ Paradox. The resulting increase in fossil fuel consumption in that time, along with that increased economic activity and human population, which is already unsustainable, will lead to increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, further anthropogenic climate change, and loss of biodiversity. The so-called ‘Doomsday Argument’ predicts that the deleterious impacts of these effects will be so severe as to result in the extinction of our entire species.
Bend or Break? Experimental Evidence of Voters' Punishment for Striking Political Compromises
Authors: van der Velden Mariken Anna Catharina Geertruida
Published: October 2023

In today's world, societies are grappling with a mounting political divide. This polarization poses a significant challenge, hindering the willingness of parties to engage in meaningful and constructive dialogues. Unveiling the dynamics of political compromise, researchers have pointed to gender disparities in this process. To shed light on this enigma, I replicate and expand upon the study of Bauer et al. 2017 in the Dutch landscape, exploring both gender and ethnic minority dimensions, anticpating that a politician's evaluation in the realm of compromise formation would be influenced not only by gender but also by their migration background. In contrast with the US studies, I find that women and migration-background politicians are more appreciated, both when they compromise and when they do not. My findings have important implications for our understanding of public preferences regarding legislative compromise and the influence of gender and race in the political process.
The Forensics in Criminal Proceedings: From Theory to Practice or How to Prevent Limitations
Authors: Zarafiu Andrei
Published: October 2023

In the beginning of the current century, a new paradigm of assessing the rules in criminal proceedings has been emphasized, more specifically in those criminal cases in which a new trend in applying methodology of criminal sciences is arisen. There is no doubt that the new concept of preventing limitations in assessing the means of the forensics which are directly involved in the process of delivering the criminal decisions has already been accustomed. The current paper focuses on the new concepts of the forensics applicable in criminal proceedings, in such a manner not to exceed the legal framework of criminal procedure law, on the one hand, and to prevent any limitations which should be imposed, on the other hand. In this context, it has been observed that the methodology of investigation through means and instruments of the forensics has reached new dimensions, unavoidable ones. The culture of the forensics is, at the moment, of high interest for the judicial activity of criminal proceedings and, for this reason, a new approach in this matter is expected to be expressed by the legal doctrine in criminal matters.
Status Issues of Platform Work
Authors: Barancová Helena
Published: October 2023

The subject of the author’s analysis is the performance of work for digital platforms, which is currently developing very dynamically and is significantly ahead of legal regulation. The first legal regulation of work performed for digital platforms at the level of the European Union will be the upcoming directive on improving the working conditions of persons working through digital platforms. The author examines the draft of the aforementioned directive, especially its legal consequences for the legislation of the Slovak Republic. Since the work for digital platforms with algorithmic management often does not meet either the legal characteristics of “dependent work” or the legal characteristics of “independent work”, the author de lege ferenda proposes a legislative solution to the status issues of persons working for digital platforms also by means of a reassessment of the current normative definition of the term “dependent work” as well as the term “employee” which, according to the legal status de lege lata, is defined significantly narrower compared to the personal scope of the proposed directive. In this way, it would be realistically possible to ensure the social protection of natural persons working for digital platforms in the near future.
Some Remarks on Book Critical Constitutionalism: Ideas for Constitutional Transition in the Post-COVID-19 Era by Diego Valadés
Authors: Vyšný Peter
Published: October 2023

The present paper is a review essay focused on the book – scientific monograph Critical Constitutionalism: Ideas for Constitutional Transition in the Post-COVID-19 Era written by Mexican legal scholar Diego Valadés in year 2021. The book is a brief but incisive analysis of how Mexico (mis)managed the global COVID-19 pandemics. The author showed that many actions and measures taken by the Mexican State during the state of emergency declared due to the COVID-19 pandemics were problematic for various reasons, both constitutional/legal and extraconstitutional/extralegal ones, and resulted from long-term, serious and complex shortcomings of the Mexican political system, primarily based on the Mexican Federal Constitution of 1917 and related federal legislation. However, the author’s criticism of the Mexican constitutional/political system is constructive, as he makes useful suggestions to overcome (or, at least, to reduce) its shortcomings throughout the book.

За счет небольшой величины эффекта отдельных однонуклеотидных полиморфизмов существуют сложности с воспроизводимостью результатов, и возможность их использования как самостоятельных факторов риска ограниченна. Перспективный подход в изучении генетики болезни Альцгеймера – оценка полигенного риска. Совместно с ГБУЗ «Психиатрическая клиническая больница № 1 им. Н.А. Алексеева Департамента здравоохранения города Москвы» разработан молекулярный метод на основе гидрогелевого биочипа, позволяющий проводить оценку полигенного риска развития деменций альцгеймеровского типа. Выявлено достоверное различие значений полигенного риска в группах образцов от пациентов с болезнью Альцгеймера и здоровых доноров. Создание и внедрение в клиническую практику гидрогелевых биочипов для диагностики риска деменции альцгеймеровского типа позволит осуществлять массовый скрининг жителей города Москвы и маршрутизировать носителей риск-ассоциированных признаков на специализированные программы профилактики и реабилитации.
Design of centrifugal radial fans using regression analysis methods
Authors: Melnik Victor , Zelensky Alexei , Zelensky Andrew
Published: October 2023

With the development of scientific and technological progress in agriculture, the use of operational and mathematical modelling for effective solution of problems and resource conservation in the field of agricultural engineering is relevant. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the optimal parameters of the centrifugal radial fan of a pneumatic precision seed drill by constructing a new mathematical model of the process of its operation. This was achieved by applying mathematical modelling methods when planning multi-factor experiments. As a result, a complex of automated experiments has been defined, which leads to a significant increase in the productivity of scientific work. A statistical representation of the experiment is established, which allows moving to a multi-factor active experiment, in which it is possible to separate the influence of factors from the noise background and make a transition to statistical methods for analysing the results. This allowed predicting the optimal characteristics of the centrifugal radial fan of the precision seed drill. In the course of this study, a new regression equation was compiled in the form of a first-degree polynomial, which determines the influence of each of the factors on the magnitude and value of the response. The coefficients of the polynomial are determined, the significance of the coefficients is estimated, and the adequacy of the proposed model is checked. After obtaining the regression equation, it became possible to graphically construct the dependence of the response function on impact factors. A fractional factor experiment was also performed, which determined the values of the parameters of the object’s state for all possible combinations of levels of variation of the factors Xi. Based on the established functional relationship between the output parameter of the fan, a regression equation of the following form is obtained: Pv=Pv(n, ß1, ß2, z). This predicted the receipt of the total pressure Pv (Pa), when setting different values of independent quantities n, ß1, ß2 and z. The application of the obtained analytical dependencies significantly simplified the determination of optimal design parameters of pneumatic systems for the development and construction of modern technical seed drills

Any study of the dynamics and control of mechanical systems is based on adequate mathematical models that contain the dynamic parameters of the system under study. Their evaluation, in particular for the tower crane boom system, is a particularly relevant scientific and practical problem, the solution of which will provide the basis for further calculations of the optimal modes of movement of the tower crane slewing mechanism. The research aims to determine the dynamic parameters of the installation (moment of inertia of the slewing mechanism J, torque of dry friction forces M0, driving torque coefficient K1) and to plan experimental studies. The experimental method, numerical optimization methods (in particular, the modified Rot-Ring-PSO method), and statistical methods were used to conduct the research. Based on the results of the experiments, the dynamic parameters of the mathematical model of the laboratory installation of the tower crane slewing mechanism with propeller thrust were identified. The criterion that evaluates the identification error of the parameters K1, M0, and J was formed and minimized using the Rot-Ring-PSO algorithm. Plots of the kinematic characteristics of the movement of the boom system in terms of the angle of rotation of the boom and the speed of rotation of the boom were constructed. When processing the experimental data, the dependence of the error values on the supply voltage of the propeller drive was revealed. The error in the boom rotation speed at the drive supply voltage of 90% (compared to the voltage variant of 40%) decreased by almost 15%, and the error in the boom rotation angle at the drive supply voltage of 90% (compared to the supply voltage variant of 40%) decreased by almost 3 times. The regularity has been confirmed that with an increase in the supply voltage, the error value of the system decreases. In the course of processing the experimental studies, the dynamic parameters of the installation were identified: K1=4.80‧10-8 V/(rpm)2, M0=34.519 Nm, J=24.21 kgm2. The obtained results will be used to optimise the plant’s motion modes, and the developed identification algorithm can be used for other similar problems
Pterygoid venous plexus anastomosis in trigeminal percutaneous glycerol rhizotomy: illustrative case
Authors: Cordeiro Kevin , Kim Jason , Buckley Niall , Kraemer Mark , Pun Conrad , Resnick Daniel
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

Percutaneous glycerol rhizotomy (PGR) is a common, effective, and relatively safe treatment for trigeminal neuralgia that is refractory to medical management. Anastomotic skull base venous anatomy should be considered when delivering percutaneous agents.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors report an anastomotic connection, not previously described in the literature, between the bilateral pterygoid venous plexuses upon air injection during PGR with computed tomography (CT) guidance for trigeminal neuralgia. Pertinent microsurgical and skull base venous anatomy is reviewed.

LESSONS

Anastomoses between the pterygoid venous plexuses present a potential passage for materials used during PGR to reach unintended contralateral neurovascular structures. The use of CT guidance may identify this anastomotic connection and decrease the likelihood of an aberrant flow of materials used during the PGR.

El desarrollo de láseres de femtosegundo nos ha permitido el uso de fuentes de luz coherentes más potentes, lo que a su vez brinda oportunidades para estudiar procesos no lineales en la interacción láser-materia. Uno de los más importantes, el cual se ha desarrollado en los últimos años, es la de modificación de las características físicas de materiales dieléctricos (materiales vítreos) mediante el uso de esta tecnología, con la finalidad de fabricar las guías de onda sub-superficie. Actualmente, las guías de onda tienen una gran aplicabilidad en el área de las telecomunicaciones, ya que se han vuelto un sustituto tecnológico ideal a las fibras ópticas para ciertas aplicaciones específicas, como: amplificadores ópticos, láseres, multiplexores, redes de Bragg, etc. Desafortunadamente, la transferencia de tecnología del laboratorio a la industria aún es incipiente. Es precisamente aquí donde este trabajo contribuye a desarrollar herramientas tecnológicas para el procesamiento de información de datos experimentales obtenidos para optimizar el tiempo del análisis de la información y con ello, mejorar la toma de decisiones en el prediseño y diseño de guías de ondas para aplicaciones en telecomunicaciones.

Un sistema agro-fotovoltaico se define como la integración simultánea de sistemas para la producción agrícola y fotovoltaica; es decir, lograr optimizar la utilización del suelo, teniendo a la vez y en la misma superficie, a los sistemas de invernaderos con paneles solares. En este estudio se pretende explorar los parámetros para el diseño y desarrollo de este tipo de aplicaciones tecnológicas en la zona de Comalcalco, Tabasco. Comprende desde la selección de los parámetros de estudio, el estudio del envejecimiento y degradación de las celdas a las condiciones de la zona, el diseño de la instrumentación necesaria para el control y la adquisición de datos de las variables del proceso, hasta el diseño de la instrumentación de los sistemas agro-fotovoltaicos. Previo a la implementación de los sistemas mencionados, se debe realizar estudios para comprender el envejecimiento y degradación de las celdas solares a las condiciones de operación de la zona, como la temperatura del ambiente, la humedad relativa, los niveles de radiación solar y precipitación pluvial. Otros parámetros adicionales a considerar son la humedad y temperatura del suelo, los cuales pueden ser de utilidad para el diseño de sistemas auxiliares para riego automatizado. Mediante el análisis del envejecimiento y degradación de las celdas convencionales y los datos obtenidos en las diferentes estaciones del año, se pretende analizar otro tipo de tecnologías, como las celdas de perovskitas, las cuales son de interés debido a su conformación flexible y semitransparente que las hace ideales para aplicaciones en invernaderos agro-fotovoltaicos al reducirse el efecto sombra, además de probar diferentes configuraciones en la geometría de los invernaderos, incluyendo las celdas como parte de la estructura principal.

El uso de interfaces cerebro-computador en actividades de rehabilitación y asistencia es un campo con amplia investigación, existiendo para ello diversidad de paradigmas, métodos y aplicaciones; entre ellas, el control de robots manipuladores que permiten a usuarios con algún tipo de parálisis, desarrollar actividades cotidianas como, servirse un vaso de agua o mover objetos de forma independiente. En este artículo se realiza una revisión de la literatura, para conocer cómo han sido implementados estos sistemas entre los años 2012 y 2022 con el paradigma de Potenciales Evocados Visuales en Estado Estable, qué métodos de adquisición se utiliza y, cómo se realiza el procesamiento de las señales. Se encontró que los electrodos más utilizados son aquellos ubicados en la zona occipital y parietal del cráneo, que los estímulos son presentados con frecuencias bajas que no superan los 20 Hz y que hay algunas técnicas más utilizadas que otras para el procesamiento, como la Transformada Rápida de Fourier para extracción de características y el Análisis de Correlación Canónica en la clasificación.
