Chaotic systems are known to be extremely sensitive to initial conditions, meaning small changes can have a significant impact on the outcomes. By analyzing the average profit margin in relation to chaotic dynamics, companies can conduct sensitivity analysis to assess the potential impact of various factors on their profitability. This analysis can help identify critical variables or scenarios that may significantly affect profit margins. In this article, we have proposed a hyperchaotic financial system with sinusoidal hyperbolic non-linear variables applied to the average profit margin. Furthermore, we have investigated the stability of the hyperchaotic financial dynamics model to provide information to companies to assess the consistency and reliability of their profitability. In addition, fundamental dynamic behavior like Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation analysis, coexisting attractors have been reported. Finally, a nonlinear feedback control approach is developed to train an adaptive neural fuzzy controller. The application of Lyapunov theory confirms that this nonlinear feedback controller can effectively minimize the synchronization error within a finite duration. The results from simulations establish the effectiveness of the proposed neural fuzzy controller architecture in controlling the synchronization of two hyperchaotic financial models. Additionally, the simulation includes a comparison between the performance of the nonlinear controller and the adaptive neural fuzzy controller.

Authors: Gani Abdul Hafiz , Saleh Narul Aida , Selvam Sheela Bai , Azwa Iskandar
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection is a common clinical problem with a significant rising trend worldwide. In Malaysia, the burden of care is shared between hospitals and primary care clinics. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of syphilis among people living with HIV (PLHIV) at primary care clinics in Malaysia and assess its association with sociodemographic characteristics, risk factors and treatment outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study included 750 PLHIV aged ≥18 years who attended primary care clinics in three different locations in Malaysia from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019. Data were obtained from the patients’ clinical notes using a structured questionnaire evaluating the sociodemographic characteristics, history of sexual and lifestyle behaviours, diagnosis and management.
Results: The patients’ age ranged from 18 to 78 years (mean=34.7, standard deviation=10.2). The prevalence of syphilis among the PLHIV at the three primary care clinics was 33.8% (n=254). Syphilis was significantly associated with gender (P=0.038) as well as sexual activity (P<0.001), substance use (P=0.038), history of chemsex (P=0.001) and history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (P<0.001) within the past 12 months. The majority of the PLHIV with syphilis received treatment at the primary care clinics (n=248, 97.3%), and up to 96.1% (n=245) had completed such treatment.
Conclusion: Syphilis is prevalent among PLHIV at primary care clinics, and most patients receive standard treatment. Therefore, primary care doctors must enhance their knowledge to effectively manage STIs, especially syphilis.

Abstract. The Arctic Ocean’s snow cover is crucial in moderating interactions between sea-ice and the atmosphere, yet fully grasping its isotopic composition and the processes shaping it presents substantial challenges. This study employs a unique dataset from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition to explore the complex interactions between deposition processes and post-depositional changes affecting snow on Arctic sea ice. By examining 911 individual snow isotope measurements collected over a full year, we identify a clear layering within the snowpack: the top layer, with lower δ18O values and higher d-excess values, indicates fresh meteoric snowfall, while the bottom layer, affected by the sea ice beneath, shows higher δ18O values and lower d- d-excess values. By integrating these discrete snow samples with continuous vapour isotope data, our research provides insight into interactions between snow and the atmosphere, as well as the processes that alter isotopic signatures within Arctic snow. We observe a significant difference in δ18O values between snow and vapor during autumn, mainly due to delays in sampling after precipitation events, with d-excess ranges suggesting the impact of Atlantic moisture. Winter months exhibit sharp differences in δ18O and d-excess values, indicating kinetic fractionation amid extreme cold as the RV Polarstern traverses from the Siberian to the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean. Conversely, summer months display a convergence in isotopic signatures, reflecting conditions favouring equilibrium fractionation, highlighted by increased air temperatures and humidity levels. While δ18O in vapour readily responds to changes in air temperature and humidity, surface snow δ18O is influenced more by subsequent processes such as sublimation and wind-driven redistribution. Sublimation, intensified by the snow’s prolonged surface residence and facilitated by the porosity of snow, plays a key role in isotopic enrichment. Wind-driven snow redistribution, occurring 67 % of the winter, led to a homogenised and depleted surface snow δ18O signal across the sea ice by spreading lower δ18O meteoric snow. This effect was especially pronounced in ridge snow profiles, where the top layers showed a uniform δ18O signal, in stark contrast to flat ice samples. Furthermore, distinct isotopic patterns were detected along the MOSAiC expedition route from a region close to Samoylov Island to Fram Straight near Ny-Ålesund. Snow samples close to Samoylov Island exhibited notable seasonal δ18O variations, which were indicative of a continental climate. In contrast, samples from Ny-Ålesund displayed more consistent fluctuations, influenced by steady Atlantic moisture.

Authors: Cruz-González María Catalina , Arango-Lopera Carlos Andrés
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo analiza la relación entre la imagen y la música en la serie alemana Dark, centrándose en el año 1986. La metodología mixta empleada combina análisis cuantitativos y hermenéuticos para determinar si existe una conexión directa entre ambos elementos. Se examinan diversos aspectos de la música, como su carácter diegético o extradiegético, instrumentalidad, letras y género, tanto por artista como por canción. Los resultados revelan una relación no directa entre la temporalidad de la imagen y la música, ya que esta última, aunque ambientada en los años 80, es producida en el siglo XXI. Predominan los géneros clásico y new romantic, sugiriendo un uso referencial de la nostalgia mediante la imitación estilística de la música de los ochenta. Finalmente, se evidencia una intencionalidad nostálgica en la producción musical actual, que busca evocar la estética de esa época.

This research explores the obstacles faced by students at SMP Negeri 1 SELESAI in learning English, particularly in reading. The study was conducted through preliminary analysis and a questionnaire, revealing a strong preference among students for topics related to the internet and entertainment, which might distract them from focusing on reading English materials. The research also revealed that students prefer to learn in groups rather than individually, suggesting a strong influence of peer interactions. Despite the high interest in English, students still face numerous obstacles in their learning process, including a lack of understanding about word distribution and pronoun usage in English, and difficulty in understanding and interpreting complex terms and phrases. The study suggests potential solutions to overcome these challenges, such as the use of more varied and interesting teaching methods, increasing students' understanding of English sentence structure, and enhancing students' interest and motivation in learning English, especially in reading.
