Serum and Red Cell Magnesium and Calcium Concentrations in Normotensive and Pre-Eclamptic Pregnant Women in Lagos, Nigeria
Authors: Kuye-Kuku TO , Ajayi G , Adegbola O
Published: April 2023

Background: Pre-eclampsia is a significant cause of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. This study identified the relationship between serum and red cell concentrations of magnesium and calcium in pre-eclampsia. This is to justify the use of magnesium in the prevention of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.
Objective: To compare the serum and red cell levels of calcium and magnesium among pre-eclamptic and normotensive pregnant women.
Method: A prospective, comparative study comparing serum and red cell concentrations of magnesium and calcium in sixty pre-eclamptic patients and sixty normotensive pregnant controls.
Result: The mean serum calcium concentration among pre-eclamptic patients was 2.33±0.19 mmol/l, compared with 2.47±0.23 mmol/l in the normotensive group (p = 0.244). The mean serum magnesium concentration was significantly higher among normotensive pregnant women than pre-eclamptic women (1.18±0.31 mmol/l vs 0.91±0.23 mmol/l; p = 0.001). The mean red blood cell calcium concentration was also significantly higher among pre-eclamptic pregnant women compared to the normotensive group (4.34±0.62 mmol/l vs 3.95±0.79 mmol/l; p = 0.003), but the mean red cell magnesium concentration was lower in pre-eclamptic than the normotensive control group but without statistical significance (2.04±0.65 mmol/l vs 2.26±0.79 mmol/l; p = 0.098).
Conclusion: Pre-eclampsia is associated with low concentrations of serum magnesium and calcium. Therefore, magnesium supplements may be beneficial in preventing pre-eclampsia.
TRADITIONS OF DANCE CULTURE IN CULTURAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Savchyn Liliia
Published: April 2023

The goal is to reveal the traditions of dance culture in the discourse of cultural studies. Research methodology. The interdisciplinary character of the study is based on the combination of theoretical justification of traditions in the discourse of cultural studies. The power of influencing the content of cultural knowledge lies in explaining the present through the past and in projecting future progress. This is how we consider the methodological key to understanding the dialectical unity of the phenomena of traditions and innovations. The common link between the past, present and future is the originality of the historical place of the people's culture, its national spirit is immersed in ethnocultural genesis. The article emphasizes the structural-functional method as the leading one between the traditions and chronotopes of cultural regionalism from the philosophers of ancient eras, artists of literature to the leading culturologists of modern Ukraine. Scientific novelty. The traditions of dance culture in the cultural space are revealed. Dance traditions are a phenomenon in cultural discourse in the space of ethnoculture. Conclusions. Dance traditions are considered in the plane of cultural discourse. The dynamics of traditions in spatio-temporal introjection, which are produced by dance and normalized as an important component in the system of preservation of traditions, are highlighted. During the thousand-year historical and cultural development, the dance demonstrates the spiritual unity of the people, the integrity of culture as a factor of the value basis of the individual who integrates into society, realizing the motivation of spiritual needs.
MODERN TRENDS IN THE FORMATION OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES OF CITIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND UKRAINE
Authors: Radomska Daryna
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the study of modern trends in the formation of public authorities in the cities of the European Union and Ukraine, to the search for ways to choose the most optimal methods. The purpose of the study is to analyze the trends in the formation of public authorities in the cities of the European Union and Ukraine. The tasks that were set and solved are the analysis of the electoral systems used in the elections of local self-government bodies of the European Union countries, the characteristics of the system and the procedure for the formation of public authorities of cities in Ukraine, and the search for ways to improve the latter. It has been found that in the European Union countries there is mostly a tendency to choose a proportional electoral system and, accordingly, the participation of political parties in the implementation of local democracy. A similar trend is observed in Ukraine. The author defends the position that in the formation of representative bodies of the public authorities of cities, the most optimal is the application of the majority election system, which makes it possible to really implement the representation of the interests of the territorial community.
USING THE METHODS OF GENETIC FINGERPRINTING FOR PERSON IDENTIFICATION AND FORMATION OF THE STATE GENOME DATABASE (INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL EXPERIENCES)
Authors: Syvodied Ivan
Published: April 2023

Person identification using the methods of genomic fingerprinting contributes to the distinction of individuals by their DNA samples. In some regional agencies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, laboratories have been established and operate at research forensic centers that carry out identification following the human genome. Due to the lack of the necessary legislative framework in Ukraine, there was no unified national register – the state genome database, except for the DNA register of unidentified deceased persons. With the adoption in 2022 of the Law of Ukraine “On State Registration of Human Genomic Information”, the relevant issue progressed at the legislative level. At the same time, many practical problems arose after. In order to solve them, it was decided to compare the international and national experiences.

Illicit Enrichment Dalam Upaya Pemberantasan Korupsi Di Indonesia
Authors: Al-Hamid Mohamad Said
Published: April 2023

Indonesia sebagai negara peserta UNCAC belum menerapkan ketentuan illicit enrichment ke dalam hukum nasionalnya. Padahal, undang-undang tindak pidana korupsi masih memiliki kelemahan dalam menangani dan mencegah tindak pidana korupsi. Oleh karena itu, penulis dalam penelitian ini membahas tentang perbedaan rumusan delik dalam Pasal 2 ayat (1) dan Pasal 3 Undang-undang Tindak Pidana Korupsi dengan illicit enrichment dalam UNCAC serta menawarkan alternatif formulasi pengaturan illicit enrichment dalam undang-undang tindak pidana korupsi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia telah meratifikasi konsep illicit enrichment dalam UNCAC namun belum mengatur lebih lanjut delik illicit enrichment dalam hukum nasionalnya. Walaupun Indonesia telah mengatur ketentuannya sendiri dalam Pasal 2 dan Pasal 3 Undang-undang tindak pidana korupsi, namun ketentuan tersebut masih memiliki kelemahan dan belum mengakomodir konsep illicit enrichment yang terdapat dalam UNCAC. Oleh karena itu, dalam pembahasan berikutnya penulis menawarkan formulasi delik illicit enrichment sebagai upaya pemberantasan korupsi di Indonesia.

The Failure of Mediation in Divorce Cases Handling at Gorontalo Religious Court
Authors: Faisal Ahmad
Published: April 2023

This research analyses the failure of mediation in divorce cases at the Gorontalo Religious Court. This phenomenon is counterproductive to the efforts of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia to prevent the accumulation of cases and also to ignore religious recommendations for reconciliation when in conflict. This research is qualitative in nature with data collection using observation, interviews and documentation. The data was then analysed critically descriptively. The results showed that mediation failures continued to increase due to technical and non-technical reasons. Technically, the typology of divorce cases generally puts one of the parties (generally the wife) in a difficult position with an accumulation of long-standing disappointment and discomfort. This condition makes it difficult for mediators (both judge mediators and non-judge mediators) to carry out the mediation function. Non-technically, the support system in terms of time, place, process and totality of task implementation (especially for judge mediators) does not appear to be sufficiently supportive. The fact that all judge mediators have not all attended mediator training is another non-technical factor affecting mediation failure. Thus, the failure of divorce case mediation is not caused by a single factor but an accumulation of technical and non-technical factors that are intertwined at the same time. As long as there is no education, advocacy and correction of these two aspects, mediation failures in religious courts will continue to occur.
Comparison of Korean Speech De-identification Performance of Speech De-identification Model and Broadcast Voice Modulation
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Kim Seung Min , Park Dae Eol , Choi Dae Seon
Published: April 2023

In broadcasts such as news and coverage programs, voice is modulated to protect the identity of the informant. Adjusting the pitch is commonly used voice modulation method, which allows easy voice restoration to the original voice by adjusting the pitch. Therefore, since broadcast voice modulation methods cannot properly protect the identity of the speaker and are vulnerable to security, a new voice modulation method is needed to replace them. In this paper, using the Lightweight speech de-identification model as the evaluation target model, we compare speech de-identification performance with broadcast voice modulation method using pitch modulation. Among the six modulation methods in the Lightweight speech de-identification model, we experimented on the de-identification performance of Korean speech as a human test and EER(Equal Error Rate) test compared with broadcast voice modulation using three modulation methods: McAdams, Resampling, and Vocal Tract Length Normalization(VTLN). Experimental results show VTLN modulation methods performed higher de-identification performance in both human tests and EER tests. As a result, the modulation methods of the Lightweight model for Korean speech has sufficient de-identification performance and will be able to replace the security-weak broadcast voice modulation.
A Shift Left: Revised Regulations for Opioid Prescribing in New Jersey
Authors: Metzger Scott , Metzger Olivia
Published: April 2023

The opioid epidemic has caused devastation in both the state of New Jersey and the nation, highlighting the need to make opioid prescribing practices safer. Preventing unnecessary initiation of opioids and ensuring opioid therapy is discontinued when appropriate are necessary parts of combating the opioid epidemic. To give prescribers a framework to provide the safest and most effective care, in February 2021 the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners unanimously approved proposed updates to opioid-prescribing regulations in the state. The updated prescribing regulations in New Jersey ensure patients who receive an opioid prescription for chronic pain have the assurance of a treatment plan, an assessment of risks, and monitoring for benefits and harms of therapy. This approach preserves access to care for patients in need while minimizing risks of abuse, diversion, and addiction. New regulations define treatment plans and require specific documentation for health care providers (HCPs) treating patients with chronic pain, giving HCPs tools to prescribe safely. The success of the regulatory updates can be measured by decreases in new cases of opioid-use disorder (OUD) and overdose deaths throughout New Jersey. New Jersey's updated regulations can serve as a model with nationwide applicability.

A Diagnostic Tree Model for Adaptive Assessment of Complex Cognitive Processes Using Multidimensional Response Options
Authors: Davison Mark L. , Weiss David J. , DeWeese Joseph N. , Ersan Ozge , Biancarosa Gina , Kennedy Patrick C.
Published: April 2023

A tree model for diagnostic educational testing is described along with Monte Carlo simulations designed to evaluate measurement accuracy based on the model. The model is implemented in an assessment of inferential reading comprehension, the Multiple-Choice Online Causal Comprehension Assessment (MOCCA), through a sequential, multidimensional, computerized adaptive testing (CAT) strategy. Assessment of the first dimension, reading comprehension (RC), is based on the three-parameter logistic model. For diagnostic and intervention purposes, the second dimension, called process propensity (PP), is used to classify struggling students based on their pattern of incorrect responses. In the simulation studies, CAT item selection rules and stopping rules were varied to evaluate their effect on measurement accuracy along dimension RC and classification accuracy along dimension PP. For dimension RC, methods that improved accuracy tended to increase test length. For dimension PP, however, item selection and stopping rules increased classification accuracy without materially increasing test length. A small live-testing pilot study confirmed some of the findings of the simulation studies. Development of the assessment has been guided by psychometric theory, Monte Carlo simulation results, and a theory of instruction and diagnosis.

Su incidencia varía de acuerdo con la población estudiada, métodos de diagnósticos utilizados y si han incluido a la Miocarditis y Síndrome de Takotsubo, los cuáles, fueron excluidos recientemente de la definición de MINOCA. Por esta razón, consideramos que la novedad de esta publicación es la no inclusión de estas dos patologías y, por lo tanto, el objetivo de la presente revisión es actualizar este síndrome de forma concisa. También se aborda el manejo de los tres tipos de MINOCA, cuyo diagnóstico se basa fundamentalmente en la utilización de imágenes complementarias específicas, ya que la coronariografia tiene sus limitaciones. El tratamiento será en general farmacológico de acuerdo con el mecanismo fisiopatológico involucrado.

Published: April 2023

Introduction. The fourth edition of the Transatlantic Orthopedic Surgery Webinar 2022 took place on December 12th, 2022. The main theme of the webinar was the treatment of crouch gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Speakers from Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States participated. Results. The first general session presented the biomechanics of crouch gait, the function of the hip and knee muscles in children with CP, the principles of prevention and treatment of crouch gait in spastic diplegia, and the natural course and treatment outcomes of CP in adults. The surgical sessions comprehensively presented the surgical techniques for treating crouch gait: percutaneous myofasciotomy in the posterior knee joint, straightening osteotomy of the distal femur in hemiplegia, asymmetric and symmetric diplegia, techniques for shortening and plastically reconstructing the patellar ligament, anterior hemiepiphysiodesis of the distal femur, and transfer of the hamstring muscles to the rectus femoris muscle. The second general session presented postoperative standing and walking rehabilitation protocols and evaluation of treatment outcomes (pain, fatigue, ambulatory activity, motor function, and quality of life). Summary. The most important conclusions from the event were: do not lengthen the Achilles tendon in zone III in crouch gait; laboratory gait analysis is necessary before lengthening the hamstring muscles; hemiepiphysiodesis of the distal femur can be performed when the predicted growth period is less than two years; distal femur osteotomy should be considered during adolescence for knee flexion contracture of 10-40 degrees; treatment possibilities of tendon transfers and myofasciotomies should be remembered, especially in younger patients. The webinar attracted an audience of approximately 1,600 people from 672 centers located in 57 countries. Most participants came from Poland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Norway, Sweden, and India.

Effects of CEO Duality, Board Independence, Ownership Concentration, Company Age on Profit Persistence and Firm Value: An Empirical Study of Manufacturing Companies in West Java, Indonesia
Authors: Sutrisno Sutrisno
Published: April 2023

This research examines the dual effect of CEO, board independence, ownership concentration, and company age on earnings persistence and firm value in manufacturing companies in West Java, Indonesia. The study conducted a survey of 78 manufacturing companies in West Java in 2022. The results show that CEO duality has a negative effect on earnings persistence, while board independence has a positive effect on earnings persistence. Ownership concentration has no significant effect on earnings persistence, and company age has a positive effect on earnings persistence. In addition, board independence and company age have a positive effect on firm value, while CEO duality and ownership concentration have no significant effect on firm value. These findings suggest that companies with separate CEO and board chairman positions and higher board independence are more likely to have persistent earnings and higher firm value. The study also implies that company age plays an important role in determining earnings persistence and firm value.

Published: April 2023

Ground-level ozone (O3) pollution has shifted from being a scientific topic to a governmental imperative in China. We analyze the mechanism for the O3 rise observed in Shanghai during the lockdown in the spread of COVID-19 in 2022 by combining utilizing ground-level observed data, an observation-based model, and a chemical transport model. We find that the increase in O3 can be mainly attributable to the larger emission reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) than volatile organic components (VOCs), of which the effect is amplified by the adverse meteorological conditions. The chemical transport modeling results suggest that a higher ratio of emission reduction of NOx to VOCs increases the daily maximum 8-hour moving average O3 concentration considerably relative to a counterfactual scenario assuming the same ratio of emission reduction of NOx to VOCs. This indicates that the concentration of O3 would depends not only on the strength of emission reduction but also the ratio of emission reduction between species. Our results highlight the importance of well-designed strategies with appropriate control of the VOCs to NOx ratio to mitigate O3 pollution in cities.
Examining the power supplied to Earth's dynamo by magnesium precipitation and radiogenic heat production
Authors: Wilson Alfred , Pozzo Monica , Davies Chris , Walker Andrew , Alfè Dario
Published: April 2023

We examine magnesium and potassium solubility in liquid Fe mixtures, representative of Earth’s core composition, in equilibrium with liquid silicate mixtures representative of an early magma ocean. Our study is based on the calculation of the chemical potentials of MgO and K2O in both phases, using density functional theory. For MgO, we also study stability against precipitation of the solid phase. We use thermal evolution models of the core and mantle to assess whether either radiogenic heating from 40K decay or Mg precipitation from the liquid core can resolve the new core paradox by powering the geodynamo prior to inner core formation. Our results on K show that concentrations in the core are likely to be small and the effect of 40K decay on the thermal evolution of the core is minimal, making it incapable of sustaining the early geodynamo alone. Our results also predict small concentrations of Mg in the core although these might be sufficient to power the geodynamo prior to inner core formation, depending on the process by which it is transported across the core mantle boundary.
On the Importance of Providing a ‘Don’t Know’ Response Option in Syllogistic Reasoning Tasks
Authors: Dames Hannah , Ragni Marco , Schulte Niklas
Published: April 2023

Syllogistic reasoning tasks typically contain a response option stating that no valid conclusion can be drawn from the given information. In fact, this response is the logically correct response for the majority of all syllogisms. However, the same response may also be chosen by participants who are simply unable to find the correct solution. In the current study, we suggest using an additional ‘don't know’ response option so that unsuccessfully aborted reasoning processes are not systematically classified as successful. We demonstrate that, when given the opportunity, participants make systematic use of a ‘don't know’ response option that. Further, the inclusion and use of the response option significantly impacted participants’ response distribution when compared to a group of participants that did not have such a response option. Our findings suggest that without an opt-out option, participants engage in biased guessing behavior when they ‘give-up’ on a problem, leading to incorrect ability estimates in testing situations. We conclude that future tests employing syllogistic reasoning tasks should include an additional ‘don’t know’ response option to obtain unbiased measures of reasoning abilities.
Undervaluing the Positive Impact of Kindness Starts Early
Authors: Echelbarger Margaret , Epley Nicholas
Published: April 2023

Prosociality can create social connections that increase well-being among both givers and recipients, yet concerns about how another person might respond can make people reluctant to act prosocially. Existing research suggests these concerns may be miscalibrated such that people underestimate the positive impact their prosociality will have on recipients. Understanding when miscalibrated expectations emerge in development is critical for understanding when misplaced cognitive barriers might discourage social engagement, and for understanding when interventions to build relationships could begin. Two experiments asking children (aged 8-17, Experiment 1; aged 4-7, Experiment 2) and adults to perform the same random act of kindness for another person document that both groups significantly underestimate how “big” the act of kindness will seem to recipients, and how positive their act will make recipients feel.

In this work, we have studied the dust properties of the North-East part of Perseus cloud having a size of 0.5o × 0.5o located at RA (ICRS): 56.14o DEC (ICRS): +32.15o, within the Open Cluster IC 348, using IRIS and AKARI data. An isolated region of size 0.39o×0.23o in IRIS and 0.34o×0.16o in AKARI data is detected within it. The infrared fluxes extracted using Aladin v11.0 are used to study the dust temperature and dust mass. The distance of the selected dust structure is calculated using Gaia EDR3, which is 309.98 pc. The infrared flux density is found to be increased for long-wavelength data. The average dust color temperature calculated from short-wavelength IRIS data is more than that calculated from long-wavelength AKARI data, which are 26.34 K±0.11 K for IRIS and 17.63 K±0.02 K for AKARI data. The mass of dust within the entire dust structure is 0.06 Mʘ for IRIS data and 37.44 Mʘ for AKARI data. Jeans mass for isolated region gives contradictory results in two surveys, for IRIS survey total mass is smaller than Jeans mass but for AKARI survey the total mass is larger than the Jeans mass. A good correlation between infrared fluxes is noticed for linear regression. The study background sources observed from the SIMBAD database explore the large number of stars, X-ray sources, YSOs, etc., embedded within the dust structure; some of them are responsible for dust heating and some for the contribution of dust mass. The contour map shows the identical distribution between infrared fluxes, dust color temperature and Planck’s function and dissimilar distribution between dust mass and visual extinction in IRIS and AKARI data. The high temperature at the central region suggests that the core of dust structure is thermally active, radiating the large thermal radiation in comparison to the outer region.

Porous activated carbon materials derived from biomass could be the suitable materials for high-rate performance electrochemical supercapacitors as it exhibits high surface area due to well-defined pore structure. Here, we report the novel porous activated carbon from Triphala seed stones by chemical activation with zinc chloride at different carbonization temperature (400-700 °C) under the nitrogen gas atmosphere. The activated carbon was characterized by Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman scattering and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements was used to study the surface properties (effective surface areas, pore volumes and pore size distributions). The electrochemical measurements were performed in an aqueous 1 M sulphuric acid (H2SO4) solution in a three-electrode cell set up. Triphala seed stones-derived porous carbon materials with well-defined micro- and mesopores exhibit high specific surface area ranges from 878.7 to 1233.3 m2 g-1 and total pore volume ranges from 0.439 to 0.626 cm3 g-1. The specific capacitance obtained by electrochemical measurement experiment was 208.7 F g-1 at 1 A g-1. These results indicate that the prepared nanoporous activated carbon material from Triphala seed stones would have significant possibility as supercapacitor electrode material for high-energy-storage supercapacitor applications.

Prussian Blue and Its Analogues: Electrochemistry and Analytical Applications
Authors: Jain Shubhi
Published: April 2023

This article reviews fundamental aspects of deposition, structure and electrochemistry of Prussian Blue and its analogues. Special attention is given to the metal hexacyanoferrates with potential analytical applications. Prussian Blue and its analogues as advanced sensing materials for nonelectroactive ions are discussed. In contrast to common ‘smart materials', the sensitivity and selectivity of metal hexacyanoferrates to such ions is provided by thermodynamic background. Prussian Blue itself is recognized as the most advantageous low-potential transducer for hydrogen peroxide over all known systems. Both high sensitivity (ca. 1 A M-1 cm-2) and selectivity in relation to oxygen reduction are more than three orders of magnitude higher, than for platinum electrodes. Biosensors based on different transducing principles containing enzymes oxidases are compared, and the devices operated due to hydrogen peroxide detection with the Prussian Blue based transducer are shown to be the most advantageous ones. The future prospects of chemical and biological sensors based on metal hexacyanoferrates are outlined.
