This study seeks to examine the recognition and enforcement of EU employment judgements under private international law (PIL). The objectives are to examine the legal framework regulating the recognition and enforceability of employment decisions and to assess the influence of Brexit on EU-UK employment-related rulings. The methodology includes a comprehensive review of applicable EU legislation, case law, and employment-related regulations. This will reveal the conditions for recognising and enforcing employment decisions, the function of the EU Regulation on jurisdiction and judgements, and the scope of the EU Directive on judgement enforcement. The findings will elucidate the complexities and difficulties of PIL in employment matters, including the implications of Brexit. They will promote legal certainty and safeguard employee rights in the EU. Policymakers, legal practitioners, and stakeholders in cross-border employment disputes will gain valuable insights. Based on the results of future research, legal framework reforms may be proposed. Comparative studies of PIL frameworks in other jurisdictions could contribute to the expansion of employment law knowledge internationally.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: Different clinical subtypes (i.e., Postural Instability and Gait Difficulty -PIGD and Tremor Dominant -TD) have been highlighted in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although physical exercise improves motor symptoms in PD, the knowledge about the effect of physical exercise considering the PD subtype is limited.
AIM: To compare the effects of long-term locomotion and balance exercise on lower limb functional strength and functional mobility in PD subtypes.
METHOD: Eight individuals PIGD and 10 TD participated in this study. All individuals participated in the interventions with exercises focused on improving locomotion and balance. 48 sessions of exercise were performed three times per week for 60 minutes each session. Functional Mobility was analyzed by the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) in a single (ST) and double-task (DT – i.e., subtraction by three). Lower limb functional strength was analyzed by the 30s sit-to-stand test. Both tests were performed at baseline (pre-test) and post-intervention (post-test). Statistical analysis was performed by two-way ANOVA, with Group (PIGD vs. TD) and Moment (pre vs. post-test) factors, with repeated measures for the second factor.
RESULTS: PIGD decreased the time to perform TUG_ST in the post-test compared to the pre-test (p=0.001). Both groups decreased the time in TUG_DT and increased the number of repetitions in sit-to-stand test in the post-test in relation to the pre-test (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Long-term locomotion and balance exercise programs can improve functional mobility mainly in PIGD. A possible explanation is due to the greater room for improvement of PIGD subtypes and exercise specificity.

As ações dos "Territórios Sensíveis" no manguezal de Jequiá surgiram da pergunta "O que podemos aprender com o manguezal para (sobreviver) no Antropoceno?". Essas ações ocorreram alguns meses antes do surto global de SARS-CoV-2, quando os registros de falta de ar ainda não eram tão numerosos como se tornariam mais tarde. O vírus da pandemia já estava circulando globalmente em janeiro de 2020, quando um open lab foi realizado na galeria Z-42, com a epidemia irrompendo no Brasil em março daquele ano. O vírus ainda não era sensível para nós, os participantes, nem poderíamos imaginar a série de eventos que nos afetariam em várias escalas e causariam a morte de aproximadamente 700.000 pessoas no Brasil, segundo dados oficiais. Inspiradas pelo conceito de brutalidade de Mbembe no Antropoceno, as ações realizadas no projeto Territórios Sensíveis exploraram o ambiente único do manguezal e suas lições sobre a escassez de ar.

Published: August 2023

Methods of estimating the parameters of generalized linear models for the case of paying insurance premiums to clients are considered. The iterative-recursive weighted least squares method, the Adam optimization algorithm, and the Monte Carlo method for Markov chains were implemented. Insurance indicators and the target variable were randomly generated due to the problem of public access to insurance data. For the latter, the normal and exponential law of distribution and the Pareto distribution with the corresponding link functions were used. Based on the quality metrics of model learning, conclusions were made regarding their construction quality.

Adipose Tissue, Non-communicable Diseases and Physical Exercise: An Imperfect Triangle.
Authors: Monsalve Francisco A , Gonzalez Daniel R , Fernández Tapia Barbra , Delgado López Fernando
Published: August 2023

Adipose tissue has acquired considerable importance due to its role in maintaining body homeostasis. Beyond storing energy, adipose tissue is essential in numerous processes of energy metabolism, food intake, endocrine and immunological functions as well as neromodulatory functions by secreting hormones that participate in the regulation of homeostasis and being responsive to soluble proteins secreted by other tissues. An imbalance of these functions will generate structural and functional changes in the adipose tissue, favouring the secretion of deleterious adipocytokines that benefit a pro-inflammatory state, allowing the development of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Obesity is a disease that has increased rapidly in recent decades and is caused by environmental, hormonal, and genetic factors, which probably work in combination. Environmental factors that contribute to the increase in obesity include decreased physical activity, associated with increased screen time, increased accessibility and consumption of foods rich in fats and sugars. Weight loss should be recommended for all obese patients and overweight patients with comorbidities. For many patients who need to lose weight for medical reasons, the initial goal is to lose 5-10% of their body weight in the first 6 months. A common theme worldwide has been the development of professional guidelines for the control and treatment of obesity and in Chile, the Chilean Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery led the process of adopting the adult obesity clinical practice guideline, which establishes changes in the approach to managing obesity as a chronic disease, with an emphasis on multifactorial lifestyle interventions that include dietary changes, increased physical activity, and behavioural modifications. Pharmacotherapy, medical devices, and bariatric surgery are other options for patients who need additional interventions, so the objective of this review is to know the pathophysiological mechanisms of obesity from its origin to the current treatments available for treatment.

Published: August 2023

Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) has shown the ability to significantly reduce inflammation and marginal bone loss (MBL) at 1-year follow-up but limited data exists regarding its long-term efficacy in peri implant stability. The objective was to compare the long-term effects of a placebo gel (16 patients in Group A) or a 0.20% CHX gel (15 patients in Group B) used at each previous surgical and prosthetic stage. Follow-ups were conducted in 2022, investigating by biological, radiological, clinical, mechanical evaluation the long-term effects. Data were statistically analyzed. The research achieved a 96.7% implant success rate over five years, but 41.9% of patients didn't attend annual oral hygiene check-ups. The average MBL was 1.04 ± 0.39 mm, with no significant differences between the two groups. Notably, patients who attended regular periodontal check-ups experienced significantly less MBL than those who didn't (p <0.05). At five years, the effects of CHX were reduced, with both groups showing moderate bone loss. The results suggest early disinfection could enhance both short and long-term outcomes. In fact, patient with initial minor MBL preserve this advantage also at 5 years of follow-up. Additionally, the data underscore the importance of annual check-ups in early detection and management of biological and mechanical complications.

Authors: Banchelli Fabio , Garcia-Gasulla Marta , Mantovani Filippo
Published: August 2023

Top-down models are defined by hardware architects to provide information on the utilization of the different hardware components. The target is to isolate the users from the complexity of the hardware architecture while giving them insight into how efficiently the code is using the resources. In this paper, we explore the applicability of 4 top-down models defined for different hardware architectures powering state-of-the-art HPC clusters (Intel Skylake, Fujitsu A64FX, IBM Power9, and Huawei Kunpeng 920) and propose a model for AMD Zen 2. We study a parallel CFD code used for scientific production to compare these 5 Top-Down models. We evaluate the level of insight achieved, the clarity of the information, the ease of use, and the conclusions that each one allows us to reach.

Published: August 2023

Copper(I) sulfide (Cu2S) is a low-cost, earth-abundant, and non-toxic thermoelectric material for applications in the middle-high temperature range (>650 K). Although 3D printing these materials can simplify their manufacturing, elevated temperatures observed during sintering impair their crystal structure and energy conversion efficiency. In this study, we demonstrated a novel post-processing methodology to revert the thermoelectric properties of the 3D printed Cu2-xS materials back to the unimpaired state via sulfur infusion. After printing and sintering, sulfur was infused into the specimens under vacuum to optimize their crystal structure and achieve high thermoelectric efficiency. Chemical analysis and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) tests showed that after the sulfur infusion process, the Cu/S ratio was reverted close to the stoichiometric level. 3D printed Cu2-xS showed p-type thermoelectric behavior with electrical conductivity peaking at 143 S-cm-1 at 750 K and Seebeck coefficient of 175 µV-K-1 at 627 K. Figure of merit (ZT) value of 1.0 at 780 K was achieved which is the highest value ever reported for a 3D printed Cu2-xS thermoelectrics at this temperature. Fabrication of environmentally friendly thermoelectric materials with extended dimensional freedom and conversion efficiency has the potential to impact the thermoelectric industry with new energy conversion applications and lowered manufacturing costs.

Published: August 2023

Recently, there has been remarkable progress in the development of smart textiles, especially knitted strain sensors, to achieve reliable sensor signals. Stable and reliable electro-mechanical properties of sensors are essential for using textile-based sensors in medical applications. How-ever, challenges associated with significant hysteresis and low gauge factor (GF) values remain for using strain sensors for motion capture. To evaluate these issues, a comprehensive investiga-tion of the cyclic electro-mechanical properties of weft-knitted strain sensors was conducted in the present study to develop a drift-free elastic strain sensor with a robust sensor signal for mo-tion capture for medical devices. Several variables were considered in the study, including the variation of the basic knit pattern, the incorporation of the electrically conductive yarn, and the size of the strain sensor. The effectiveness and feasibility of the developed knitted strain sensors are demonstrated through experimental evaluation, by determining the gauge factor, its non-linearity, hysteresis and drift. The developed knitted piezoresistive strain sensors have a GF of 2.4, a calculated drift of 50 %, 12,5 % hysteresis, and 0.3 % nonlinearity in parts.

Published: August 2023

Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) are currently one of the most popular species in rare bird breeding in several southern provinces of China, but there are very few studies on the gut microbial communities of domestic and wild mallards. In this study, 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing technology was used to compare the composition and diversity of gut microbial communities in domestic and wild mallards. Alpha diversity analysis revealed significant differences in the gut microbial communities of domestic and wild mallards. Beta diversity analysis showed that the two groups of stool samples were mostly separated on the principal coordinate analysis (PCOA) plot. In domestic mallards, Firmicutes (67.97%) was the most abundant bacterial phylum, followed by Proteobacteria (24.48%), Bacteroidetes (3.13%), Fusobacteria (2.21%), and Actinobacteria (1.10%). The dominant bacterial phyla in wild mallards were Firmicutes (79.02%), Proteobacteria (12.85%), Fusobacteria (3.37%), and Bacteroidetes (2.79%). At the genus level, a total of 10 dominant genera (Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Clostridium, Lactobacillus, Soilbacillus, Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Comamonas, Shigella, and Cetobacterium) with an average relative abundance greater than 1% were detected in the fecal samples of both groups. The average relative abundance of five potential pathogens (Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Acinetobacter, Comamonas, and Shigella) was higher in domestic mallards than in wild mallards. The enrichment of pathogenic bacteria in the intestinal tract of domestic mallards should be of sufficient concern.

Published: August 2023

Outdoor air pollution is a leading cause of death and premature death globally. Motorcycle-taxi drivers were most at risk associated with occupational exposure to ambient air pollution in urban areas. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the influencing factors and prediction of lung function impairment in 308 motorcycle-taxi drivers living in Bangkok and adjacent provinces between February and June 2022. The study design included: data collection using questionnaires applied from the Thai version of ATS-DLD-78A: American Thoracic Society Division of Lung Diseases and Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand; a collection of respirable dust, and ambient air pollution parameters measured by per-sonal air sampling pump and real-time air quality index (AQI) station, and lung function determined by the spirometer. The results showed that 14 factors were significantly associated with lung function impairment (p<0.05). Apparently, seven influencing factors showing the most association were included: gender, the height of the subjects, history of allergies, exposure to respirable dust, mask types, helmet types, and family history of lung disease. The lung function impairment of motorcycle-taxi drivers was significantly predicted in 28.1% by regression analysis of these seven variables (R2=0.281). Therefore, this is the first report on influencing factors and prediction of lung function impairment among motorcycle-taxi drivers. These findings would be very useful for preventing and controlling measure ambient air pollution, setting policies and strategies to mitigate the risks for motorcycle-taxi drivers and the other ex-posed population.
Assessing the Optimal Contributions of Renewables and Carbon Capture and Storage toward Carbon Neutrality by 2050
Authors: Nguyen Dinh Hoa , Chapman Andrew , Tsuji Takeshi
Published: August 2023

Building on the carbon reduction targets agreed in the Paris Agreements, many nations have renewed their efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2050. In line with this ambitious goal, nations are seeking to understand the appropriate combination of technologies which will enable the required reductions in such a way that they are appealing to investors. Around the globe, solar and wind power lead in terms of renewable energy deployment, while carbon capture and storage (CCS) is scaling up toward making a significant contribution to deep carbon cuts. Using Japan as a case study nation, this research proposes a linear optimization modeling approach to identify the potential contributions of renewables and CCS toward maximizing carbon reduction and identifying their economic merits over time. Results identify that the combination of these three technologies could enable a carbon dioxide emission reduction of between 55 and 67 percent in the energy sector by 2050 depending on resilience levels and CCS deployment regimes. Further reductions are likely to emerge with increased carbon pricing over time. The findings provide insights for energy system design, energy policy making and investment in carbon reducing technologies which underpin significant carbon reductions, while identifying potential regional social co-benefits.

Three-choice preferences for fermented sorghum teas (FST) were examined among 11 adult Ossabaw pigs. The objectives for experiments 1 and 2 (respectively) were to determine preference for: 1) one of three types of FST (white vs. sumac vs. roasted sumac), and 2) isocaloric control (+control; made isocaloric with sucrose), blended FST (3Tea; equal parts of white, sumac, and roasted-sumac), or a negative control (-control; distilled water; avoidance). Pigs were first conditioned to navigate a three-choice preference maze. For experiment 1, no clear preference behaviors for tea-type were observed. Pigs consumed nearly all the teas, but pigs consumed the least amount of tea in the first session. Pigs spent the most time with their heads in the bowl when 3Tea was offered, followed by +control, and the least time was -control.  Regardless of tea-type, adult pigs show a strong preference for FST, even over +control, which was sweetened water. Adult pigs likely prefer the complexity of flavors, rather than the sweetness alone.  Future projects that explore the health benefits of this sorghum formula will not be impeded by avoidance among adult pigs.

Google Trends data can be informative for infectious disease incidences, including Lyme disease. However, the use of Google Trends for predictive purposes is underutilized. In this study, we tested the ability of Google Trends search data to predict monthly state-level Lyme disease case counts in the United States. We requested Lyme disease data for the years 2010-2021. We downloaded Google Trends search data on terms for Lyme disease, symptoms of Lyme disease, and diseases with similar symptoms as Lyme disease. We built mixed negative binomial models based on a training dataset (2010-2016) and tested the models on a test dataset (2017-2021). A model was built for each search term and monthly lags of search terms were included as predictors. The highest performing models had high predictive ability, indicated by low Root Mean Squared Errors (RMSEs) and close association between observed and predicted case counts. The highest performing model was for the search term “Summer Flu”, which indicates low specificity of some of the terms. We outline challenges of using Google Trends data, including data availability and a mismatch between geographic units. We discuss opportunities for Google Trends data, including prediction of additional zoonotic diseases and incorporating environmental and companion animal data.

Potential Fish Oil as Acute Hepatitis Candidate by Hepatoprotective Mechanism: A-review
Authors: Sasongko Heru , Zulpadly Muhammad Fiqri , Farida Yeni
Published: August 2023

Acute hepatitis is a health concern that emerged during the COVID-19 outbreak. Toxic drugs, infections, autoimmune diseases, and other causes may induce acute hepatitis, which is deadly. Acute hepatitis isn't treatable. Renewable natural products, such as fish, are used in complementary treatment. This paper mentions current preclinical and clinical studies of omega-3 fatty acids (N-3 FAs) for hepatoprotection. The mechanism of inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver is the subject of discussion associated with its potential as a treatment for acute hepatitis. This review article on acute hepatitis treatment analyzed original articles, books, and other relevant material from the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. The literature search was conducted in April-July 2022. The keywords explored during the literature investigation were "omega-3 or EPA or DHA or fish oil," "hepatoprotective," "acute hepatitis," "inflammatory", and "stress oxidative". The study's results show that N-3 FAs can protect against liver damage through inflammation and oxidative stress pathways. Enzyme parameters of liver damage, proinflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress can be inhibited by the administration of fish oil and its derivatives. Even though not all clinical trial parameters are directly related to animal tests, the results of this study show that omega-3 fatty acids should be considered a treatment option for acute hepatitis.

This is also supported by most research results stating that no inscriptions have been found in Lombok, but can only be found in Bali and Java. But in fact, the discovery of the Sapit inscription is evidence to refute these theories, and confirms that there is an inscription found in Lombok. The inscription is proof of the civilization of the people of Sapit Village before knowing writing to people who already knew writing. The purpose of this study is to reveal the discovery of the sapit inscription as evidence of the progress of the literacy civilization of the Lombok people. This research method uses a qualitative method to reveal the information found related to the Sapit Inscription.
