Published: April 2022

Antimicrobial resistance has emerged as a major global concern for public health in the last two decades, which tends to compromise the existing drug regimens in treating common or severe infections. According to WHO, three million laboratory-confirmed bacterial infections have been reported from 70 countries in 2019, caused by pathogens of concern. The drug-resistant bacterial strains are characterized as multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pan drug-resistant (PDR) based on the different patterns of resistance. It is believed that novel strategies are essentially required to counter and eliminate drug resistance in a cost-effective manner to benefit the world population. Natural compounds and certain dietary agents show potential antimicrobial properties and these have been used since ancient times to treat human infections. In this study, we have investigated the synergistic effects of dietary flavonoids rutin and quercetin with antibiotics gentamicin (an aminoglycoside) and ceftriaxone (a third-generation cephalosporin) against the drug-resistant superbugs; clinical isolates including Escherichia coli (MDR), Proteus mirabilis (XDR), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (PDR). Conventional MIC assay and checkerboard test were used as standard protocols. Our results show that rutin and quercetin restore the antimicrobial activity of the antibiotics against MDR and XDR strains, while no such effect was observed in the case of the PDR strain. Quercetin, which is a aglycone of flavonoid rutin, demonstrates higher synergistic effects with ceftriaxone compared to rutin. Since rutin and quercetin are essentially present in human diets as constituents of fruits and vegetables, their use as nutraceuticals in adjuvant therapies in combination with antibiotics against drug resistance is a promising therapeutic strategy against superbug infections.

Possible Concussions Related to a Direct Head Kick Among College Taekwondo Athletes
Authors: Kim Hye-Jin , Koh Jae-Ok
Published: April 2022

PURPOSE: Executing a head kick (HK) in sparring-taekwondo (S-TKD) is a common, legal move and is promoted by competition rules by awarding higher points. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence of HKs and concussions and to analyze the possible related risk factors.METHODS: A prospective design was utilized. A total of 327 athletes participated in this tournament with 311 matches held in 2019 in South Korea. HK recipients were interviewed immediately after the match. HK and concussion rates were correlated and risk factors associated with concussions were analyzed using the binary logistic analysis. Also, descriptive statistics were reported.RESULTS: Of the 167 HK recipients that were identified using our criteria, only 109 participated in the study. Overall, the incidence of HKs was 175 and 35 for concussions per 1,000 athlete exposures. Logistic analysis showed that concussions were associated with competitors who did not recognize an HK and did not use blocking maneuvers as a result (OR, 5.96; 95% CI, 1.61-21.98, p<.05).CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of HKs and concussions is high in S-TKD competitions. Of 109 college taekwondo athletes who received an HK during this tournament, 20% developed a concussion. Greater promotion of blocking maneuvers may decrease concussions resulting from HKs.
Combining State of the Art Open Source and Proprietary Machine Learning Technologies to Build a Data Analysis Pipeline for Gasoline Particulate Filters using X-Ray Microscopy, Focused Ion Beam-Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy

Published: April 2022

The performance of a particulate filter is determined by properties that span the macro, meso and atomic scales. Traditionally, the primary role of a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) is to reduce solid particles and liquid droplets. At the macro scale, transport of gas through a filter’s channels and interconnecting pores act as main transport arteries for catalytically active sites. At the meso scale, the micropore structure is important for ensuring that enough active sites are accessible for the gas to reach the catalyst nanoparticles. At the atomic scale, the structure of the catalyst material determines the performance and selectivity within the filter. Understanding all length scales requires a correlative approach but this is often quite difficult to achieve due to the number of software packages a scientist has to deal with. We demonstrate how current state-of-the-art approaches in the field can be combined into a streamlined pipeline to characterise particulate filters by digitally reconstructing the sample, analysing it at high throughput, and eventually use the result as an input for gas flow simulations and better product design.

A transnacionalidade, as migrações transnacionais e os direitos dos trabalhadores migrantes.
Authors: Piffer Carla , Marcio Cruz Paulo
Published: April 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal analisar a transnacionalidade, a migração transnacional e os direitos dos trabalhadores migrantes. O trabalho está dividido em três partes: a primeira trata da transnacionalidade e do direito transnacional; o segundo trata da migração transnacional e suas principais características; e o terceiro visa identificar os direitos dos trabalhadores migrantes e a existência de dumping social nas empresas brasileiras como prática ofensiva à dignidade e aos direitos desses trabalhadores. O método implementado é indutivos, sendo utilizadas técnicas de referência, categoria, conceitos operacionais e pesquisa bibliográfica. Concluiuse, com base nos casos analisados, que a condição de vulnerabilidade aumenta consideravelmente quando o trabalhador também é migrante. Portanto, a prática de dumping social por qualquer empresa deve ser fortemente combatida, a fim de evitar qualquer uso indevido ou uso ilegal de mão-deobra migrante, uma vez que as relações e eventos transnacionais não devem servir como uma regressão no aplicação dos direitos, mas pelo contrário.
Democracia y crisis : una breve valoración de la democracia constitucional en tiempos de pandemia.
Authors: Jiménez Ramírez Milton César
Published: April 2022

La democracia es un procedimiento ético civil para resolver problemas, diferencias y adoptar decisiones a través de la regla de mayorías. Este es un concepto básico de democracia. La democracia es regulada y protegida a través de las constituciones que la estipulan como un principio estructural al lado de la separación de poderes, el principio de legalidad, los derechos humanos y sus garantías. Además, la democracia es el método más legítimo para el desarrollo de las constituciones. De hecho, es el desarrollo y la práctica de la democracia la que asegura que la constitución sea un proceso viviente (Ackerman, 2011), una evolución constante, y que pueda adaptarse mejor a los desafíos de los hechos que pretenden desplazarla, sustituirla o mutarla, e incluso desconocer la moralidad política que la constitución le impone a la democracia (Nino, 1997). Esto es, la democracia no puede ser una radical que toma decisiones por encima de los derechos de las minorías, sin deliberación social e institucional, solo amparada en el hecho de ser una decisión mayoritaria.
Derecho de las familias a participar en el contexto escolar : análisis desde las constituciones chilena y española.
Authors: Castillo Cárdenas Leonardo , Saracostti Schwartzman Mahia , Castellanos Claramunt Jorge , Morales Trapp Soledad
Published: April 2022

Está comprobado que la participación colaborativa de las familias en el contexto escolar permite soluciones más eficientes y duraderas a problemas sociales como la deserción escolar o las vulneraciones de derechos; hecho que favorece el desarrollo integral de los niños, niñas y adolescentes. El objetivo del artículo es contrastar la regulación del derecho de las familias a participar en el contexto escolar consagrada en las constituciones chilena y española, a través del método de la dogmática jurídica, por medio de la cual se realizó un análisis comparado entre el inciso final del Artículo 19 Nº 10 de la Constitución chilena y los Artículos 27.5 y 27.7 de la Constitución española. Como principal resultado se halló que el deber contributivo de la comunidad al desarrollo de la educación conlleva implícitamente el derecho de participación de las familias en el contexto escolar. También se encontró que la Constitución chilena, a diferencia de la española, no contempla normas que garanticen explícitamente este derecho; de modo que el derecho/deber de educar a los hijos e hijas queda trunco al no asegurar su participación más allá de escoger el tipo de establecimiento educacional.
El levantamiento del velo corporativo de las sociedades mercantiles en México, una acción procesal.
Authors: Pérez Cázares Martín Eduardo
Published: April 2022

La separación de la personalidad de las sociedades mercantiles es usada en muchas ocasiones para provecho de los socios y en perjuicio de terceros realizando actos contrarios a la buena fe y en perjuicio de la sociedad. El objeto de esta investigación es hallar soluciones a la problemática proteccionista que esta figura jurídica otorga. Como resultado se encontró que el levantamiento del velo corporativo no ha sido legislado en México, pues aún persiste su abrigo y ha sido la doctrina con base en dos criterios: el abuso del derecho y el fraude de la Ley quienes han alzado la voz para evitar el abuso frecuente de este privilegio. Como conclusión se tiene la necesidad de dar seguridad a los acreedores de estas sociedades mediante acciones procesales debidamente legisladas al vincular el patrimonio persona física – persona jurídica.
Reforma constitucional y justicia transicional: hacia una interpretación flexible de los elementos definitorios de una constitución vigente
Authors: Celis Vela Dúber Armando
Published: April 2022

En Colombia, el acuerdo de paz se suscribió en el contexto de una constitución en vigor. Los instrumentos de justicia transicional se implementaron en múltiples reformas constitucionales que produjeron tensiones frente al régimen político vigente. Una de estas reformas constitucionales incorporó un procedimiento especial de enmienda constitucional para hacer posible el proceso de justicia transicional. En la Sentencia C-332 de 2017 se declaró parcialmente inconstitucional tal procedimiento de enmienda constitucional. El propósito de este artículo es analizar cómo se superan las tensiones entre la rigidez interpretativa de la constitución y el cambio transicional. Por lo tanto, argumento que un proceso de transición implica una identidad constitucional flexible para adaptar el régimen vigente a lasexigencias de la justicia transicional. El control de constitucionalidad realizado al procedimiento especial de reforma constitucional puede leerse como un control político al proceso de paz y no como un control jurídico al procedimiento de enmienda.
Memoria colectiva, derecho al olvido y comisiones: análisis de experiencias comparadas
Authors: Molinares Hassan Viridiana , Orozco Arcieri Carlos Andrés
Published: April 2022

En este artículo de reflexión presentamos un debate sobre la memoria colectiva frente al derecho al olvido y un estudio comparado sobre algunas comisiones de la verdad como instrumentos de justicia transicional. Analizamos los fundamentos epistemológicos de varios autores sobre memoria colectiva; confrontamos dos tesis sobre el derecho al olvido; y, finalmente, realizamos una descripción de comisiones de la verdad, creadas luego de firmarse acuerdos de paz. Con esto pretendemos concluir que, a pesar de las dificultades, estas comisiones se constituyen en un instrumento necesario para reparar a las víctimas a través de la construcción de memoria colectiva.
El uso politizado de la víctima del delito en la creación de leyes penales. Aspectos de derecho penal y de política criminal en el caso colombiano
Authors: Vélez Rodríguez Luis A.
Published: April 2022

El presente ensayo presenta algunas consideraciones acerca de las implicaciones que para el sistema de justicia penal trae el mayor protagonismo adquirido por la víctima del delito en diferentes ámbitos del sistema de justicia penal, desde la promoción de intervenciones legislativas en materia penal, pasando por una mayor participación en las diferentes etapas del proceso penal. Se defiende que el impulso de reformas penales en nombre de las víctimas está estimulando una alteración del sistema penal de garantías sin que esto signifique un mejoramiento de la situación de la víctima.
La violencia sexual en el conflicto armado en tiempos de transición: el caso del departamento de Caldas
Authors: Giraldo Zuluaga Luisa Fernanda , Muñoz Villarreal Erika
Published: April 2022

A partir de una aproximación cualitativa y análisis documental sobre la violencia sexual ejercida a población civil en el marco del conflicto armado en Colombia y, particularmente, en el departamento de Caldas, se puede plantear que, en Colombia, el delito de la violencia sexual ha ocupado un lugar en los registros de víctimas del conflicto armado y un reconocimiento sociopolítico, no obstante, de los delitos contra la libertad y la integridad sexual en el marco del conflicto armado solo un porcentaje se han presentado ante la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz, advirtiendo aún notables desafíos en la garantía de los derechos de las víctimas en tiempos de transición hacia el posconflicto.
De la teoría a la práctica: el fenómeno del lavado de activos en el Tolima (2005-2015)
Authors: Hernández Quintero Hernando A. , Vargas Sanmiguel Constanza , Vargas Nieto Tatiana
Published: April 2022

El presente artículo pretende establecer la aplicación del marco normativo, administrativo y penal antilavado de activos, teniendo como ámbito espacialel departamento del Tolima y como marco temporal, el decenio 2005- 2015. Con este fin, se ha implementado la metodología cualitativa sobre la información normativa recopilada, así como mixta en relación con los demás datos provenientes de la Unidad de Información y Análisis Financiero(UIAF), el Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE) y del trabajo de campo en la jurisdicción penal de la región. Se cuentan como resultados la recopilación normativa en orden cronológico del ámbito administrativo y penal más relevante, descendiendo en el estado actual del  fenómeno bajo estudio; también se registra la información disponible hasta 2014 sobre el número de reportes de operaciones sospechosas (ROS) en el sector financiero y real por años, sin discriminación por departamentos ante la negativa de las entidades públicas para dar acceso a estos datos por considerar que los mismos son objeto de reserva. En el ámbito judicial del departamento se encontraron cinco procesos por lavado de activos enel periodo estudiado. Se propone entre las conclusiones que, ante la hipótesis de un marco normativo inoperante para combatir el lavado de activos en laregión, lo que arroja la investigación es la existencia de un marco jurídico sólido, pero al parecer, una escasa ocurrencia del fenómeno criminal. No es posible realizar estudios que incluyan variables más precisas, salvo que las entidades del Estado ofrezcan mayores datos por región, hasta ahora protegidos por reserva legal según se aduce.
La violencia contra exguerrilleros de las FARC-EP desde una perspectiva territorial (2016-2020)
Authors: Ríos Jerónimo , González Julio César
Published: April 2022

El siguiente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la violencia homicida contra exguerrilleros de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP) acontecida en Colombia, entre la firma del Acuerdo de Paz, en noviembre de 2016, y mayo de 2020. A lo largo de estos tres años y medio se han producido un total de 194 muertes de excombatientes de la guerrilla, de manera que se propone un modelo de evaluación del peligro, a partir de una mirada territorial que toma como unidad de análisis el departamento. Tras la correlación de variables cuantitativas, relacionadas con el número de homicidios, a partir de un coeficiente de Pearson, y con una correlación de Spearman que analiza el impacto de variables ordinales como la presencia de estructuras criminales o la capacidad operativa e intencional de atentar contra exguerrilleros, se confirma la importancia de estos factores para comprender dicho fenómeno criminal. El resultado es un modelo explicativo y de alta correlación con las frecuencias relativas del homicidiode excombatientes en departamentos periféricos y de marcada impronta rural.
El Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas en Colombia. Desarrollos conceptuales desde la doctrina socio-jurídica y ambiental
Authors: Munévar Quintero Claudia , Ramírez Ríos Mariana
Published: April 2022

El propósito de este artículo de revisión es presentar las principales aproximaciones teóricas del Sistema de Áreas Protegidas, desde los desarrollosconceptuales generados por la doctrina socio-jurídica y ambiental. A partir de estos referentes teóricos se definen las áreas protegidas desde una visiónsistemática, analizando los antecedentes normativos e institucionales que las regulan, los conceptos que las definen y las características que las componen. Así mismo, se discute respecto a los objetivos y finalidades que debe atender el sistema de áreas protegidas en Colombia, desde el análisis de una función ecológica, la participación y la garantía de derechos ambientales y de desarrollo sostenible. Se concluye que como sistema, las áreas protegidas no solo están constituidas por un marco regulatorio y conceptual, sino que al estar integradas a un ordenamiento jurídico ambiental, les corresponde atender a un criterio de legitimidad.
Conocimiento sobre las aplicaciones del mindfulness a la mediación de conflictos: revisión bibliográfica mixta
Authors: Díez David , Romero Cárdenas Roberto Mauricio
Published: April 2022

El artículo revisa las aplicaciones del mindfulness en la mediación de conflictos. Se estableció el estado del conocimiento mediante la metodología de revisión bibliográfica mixta, con análisis bibliométrico y codificación de publicaciones indexadas en Scopus. Estas provienen de áreas como la medicina, la psicología y el derecho, para conformar un campo interdisciplinar emergente con enfoques teóricos orientales y occidentales. Los primeros sirven para gestionar emociones negativas de las contrapartes y sesgos del mediador; los segundos para identificar intereses comunes e idear soluciones ante conflictos ciudadanos, familiares, corporativos y sociopolíticos. Así, se  trasciende del imaginario del abogado como “gladiador” al de “constructor depaz”. Bajo tales hallazgos, se recomienda realizar estudios empíricos sobre el grado de apertura ante la aplicación del mindfulness en la mediación; asimismo, promover la formación en mindfulness para abogados, profesionales de áreas afines y mediadores comunitarios en tanto constructores de paz en contextos sociales de alta conflictividad.

Machine Learning based Early Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes: A New Hybrid Feature Selection Approach using Correlation Matrix with Heatmap and SFS
Authors: BUYRUKOĞLU Selim , AKBAŞ Ayhan
Published: April 2022

A new hybrid machine learning method for the prediction of type 2 diabetes is introduced and explained in detail. Also, outcomes are compared with similar researches. Early prediction of diabetes is crucial to take necessary measures (i.e. changing eating habits, patient weight control etc.), to defer the emergence of diabetes and to reduce the death rate to some extent and ease medical care professionals’ decision-making in preventing and managing diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study is the creation of a new hybrid feature selection approach combination of Correlation Matrix with Heatmap and Sequential forward selection (SFS) to reveal the most effective features in the detection of diabetes. A diabetes data set with 520 instances and seven features were studied with the application of the proposed hybrid feature selection approach. The evaluation of the selected optimal features was measured by applying Support Vector Machines(SVM), Random Forest(RF), and Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) classifiers. Five evaluation metrics, namely, Accuracy, F-measure, Precision, Recall, and AUC showed the best performance with ANN (99.1%), F-measure (99.1%), Precision (99.3%), Recall (99.1%), and AUC (99.2%). Our proposed hybrid feature selection model provided a more promising performance with ANN compared to other machine learning algorithms.

Authors: Mosoyan Mkrtich S. , Shelipanov Denis A. , Fedorov Dmitriy A. , Aysina Nadezhda A. , Vasil'ev Artem A.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Despite the improvement of surgical techniques and a significant improvement in the functional results of surgical interventions for prostate cancer urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy remains the most important factor that negatively affects the quality of life of patients.
AIM: Evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of a new technique for posterior reconstruction using autologous tissue an endopelvic fascia flap in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 28 patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent modified robot-assisted radical prostatectomy at one medical center were included in the study. During the operation after removal of the prostate a posterior reconstruction of the small pelvis was performed by excising a flap of the endopelvic fascia on one side, placing it behind the bladder neck and urethrocystoanastomosis, followed by fixing this flap to a similar structure on the opposite side in the form of a loop, strengthening the anastomosis from behind. The main intraoperative parameters, oncological and functional results were evaluated.
RESULTS: Analysis of the results of the study confirmed the high efficiency of the proposed surgical technique. The average operation duration was 145 min (120170 min), average console time was 68 min (55102 min), the average duration of the posterior reconstruction stage was 6 min (3.58.5 min). Average intraoperative blood loss was 55 ml (25175 ml). The urethral catheter was removed on the 7th day after the operation in all patients. During surgery there were no conversions and any complications of IIIV groups according to the Clavien Dindo classification. Immediate urinary continence was noted in 23 (82.1%) patients (82,1%), early urinary continence was noted in 26 (92.8%) patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study showed that the use of a new technique for posterior reconstruction in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy using endopelvic fascia flaps is effective and safe, showing good early functional results, in particular, immediate urinary continence without compromising oncological outcomes.
Ejaculate parameters and the results of in vitro  fertilization treatment in infertile couples with overweight and obese men
Authors: Korneyev Igor A.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Infertility and obesity are actual and at the same time occurring problems of many couples. Conflicting data have been obtained on ejaculate parameters and the results of infertility treatment using in vitro fertilization treatment (IVF) in overweight and obese men.
AIM: To evaluate the results of examination and treatment using ART, depending on the body mass index (BMI) of men in infertile couples.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the results of treatment at the International Center for Reproductive Medicine in 368 infertile couples was carried out. The mean age of men and women was 36.4 6.2 and 33.9 5 years, respectively. Previous treatment for varicocele, sexually transmitted infections, prostatitis and cryptorchidism was performed in 58 (15.7%), 43 (11.7%), 42 (11.4%) and 11 (2.9%) men, respectively. Height and weight were measured for all patients, and BMI was calculated. The ejaculate was processed using a gradient medium (SupraSperm, Origio), IVF or ICSI were used in 110 (29.9%) and 258 (70.1%) couples, respectively, signs of good embryo quality were determined according to recommendations of professional societies for reproductive medicine. The onset of pregnancy was confirmed by the results of ultrasound sonography of the uterus. The results were subjected to statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The BMI mean was 27.4 4.4 kg/m2, overweight and obesity of the 1st and 2nd degrees were observed in 161 (43%), 58 (15.8%) and 23 (7%) men respectively. Higher BMI values of men corresponded to higher BMI values of women (p 0.001), BMI values did not depend on ejaculate volume, concentration, total number and number of motile spermatozoa, proportion of high-quality embryos, and pregnancy rate. The highest pregnancy rate was noted after treatment of couples with younger women and higher values of the total number, concentration and number of progressively motile spermatozoa and ejaculate volume (p = 0.037, p = 0.028, p 0.001, p = 0.003, p 0.0001, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: Overweight and obese men prevail in infertile couples seeking IVF treatment. IVF treatment can overcome infertility in couples with overweight and obese men.

A New Model for Vertical-to-Horizontal Response Spectral Ratios for Central and Eastern North America
Authors: Pezeshk Shahram , Farhadi Ali , Haji-Soltani Alireza
Published: April 2022

It is a well-known fact that critical structures are required to be designed for the vertical effects of earthquake ground motions as well as the horizontal effects. We developed a new model for the spectral ratio of vertical-to-horizontal components of earthquakes (V/H ratio) for central and eastern North America (CENA). The proposed V/H ratio model has the advantage of considering the earthquake magnitude, source-to-site distance, and the shear-wave velocity of soil deposits in the upper 30 m of the site for peak ground acceleration and a wide range of spectral periods (0.01–10.0 s). The model evaluation is based on a comprehensive set of regression analysis of the compiled Next Generation Attenuation-East database of the available CENA recordings with M ≥ 3.4 and Rrup<1000  km. The median value of the geometric mean of the orthogonal horizontal motions rotated through all possible nonredundant rotation angles, known as the RotD50, is used along with the vertical component to perform regression using the nonlinear mixed-effect regression. We excluded the earthquakes and recording stations in the Gulf Coast region due to their different ground motion attenuation (Dreiling et al., 2014). To compute V/H ratios for the Gulf Coast region, we refer the readers to the study of Haji-Soltani et al. (2017). Moreover, we excluded the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program site class E sites from consideration because of their complex site response characteristics and their potential for nonlinear site effects. The predicted V/H ratios from the proposed model are compared with recently published V/H ratio models. We suggest our model to be used for developing the vertical response spectra for CENA sites.
Assessing the Accuracy of a Borehole-Controlled P-Wave Velocity Model of Yucca Flat, Nevada Using Large-N Seismic Data
Authors: Vieceli Rhiannon E. , Abbott Robert E. , Preston Leiph A.
Published: April 2022

With geologic data from over 950 boreholes, Yucca Flat basin, residing on the Nevada National Security Site, has excellent borehole control on stratigraphy. These data were used to create a Geologic Framework Model (GFM) of the basin. Of these boreholes, 188 have corresponding downhole seismic survey data, which were used to determine average P-wave velocities of the geologic units and create a GFM seismostratigraphic model (GFM-SS). With the acquisition of six new active-source large-N datasets in Yucca Flat, we can now quantitatively assess the accuracy of the GFM-SS previously controlled only by borehole data. For each of the six datasets, we subset the GFM to the region of interest and create a forward model of P-wave travel times for the GFM-SS given the large-N source-receiver geometries. We first made trial-and-error adjustments to the unit velocities (while keeping the layer geometry intact) to improve the travel-time residuals. We then implemented a simulated annealing approach to find the optimal velocity model for each dataset. Our results indicate that the borehole-controlled model overestimates alluvium velocities across Yucca Flat. This result persists even when we make smaller GFM-SS models that are local to individual large-N experiments. We hypothesize that this result is a combination of shorter ray paths and the resulting lack of interaction with large-scale features (such as faults), as well as less attenuation of high frequencies in the borehole data. Both the current GFM-SS and the updated model based on median velocities that we present here overgeneralize local unit velocities, which can be quite heterogeneous in Yucca Flat.

Abstract—Social media is a lifestyle, starting from how to think and behave towards something. Understanding what is on social media requires a systematic guide to distinguish between true and false information. Therefore, this article will answer it. Two important parts of this article are discussing mood-thinking-logic which is the basis of every human's thinking, which then results in two attitudes, namely doing the right or wrong thing. This article complements the two articles that have been published. Because the problem regarding hoaxes is still an unfinished debate and still has problems finding the right formula or guide, in this article we create two concepts to solve this problem. the first concept produces guidelines of mood-thinking-logic profiling, which are concepts for understanding the layers of feelings, thoughts and logic of a person and the motives he does in social media, then the second concept is anti-hoax framework which discusses seven levels of hoaxes and solutions to overcome hoaxes. Both of these concepts will be accompanied by examples of case studies that discuss these matters, so that readers will understand the two concepts. Furthermore, this research is still being developed because it still needs a lot of refinement, and this research is part of the text mining research that we are currently doing.Keywords—Mood, Thinking, Logic, Profiling, Anti Hoax
