Published: July 2023

The object of the study is the Svirsk deposit of fresh groundwater located in the central part of the Irkutsk artesian basin of the second order, which is a part of the Angara-Lena artesian basin of the first order (Irkutsk region, Russia). Geologically, the area under investigation is located within the Pre-Sayan depression, which is complicated by the Irkutsk basement bench. The studied Svirsk hydraulic depression is confined to the tectonic crush zone of the Lower Cambrian carbonate rocks stripping from the mouth of the Kotikha river valley to the mouth of the Kamenka river valley between the bedrock slope and the Angara river (Bratsk reservoir since 1967). The purpose of this study is to study the formation features, supply sources and hydrogeochemical conditions of the deposit based on the analysis of hydrogeological work carried out over the period from 1968 to 2012. The research methodology includes the search for a site with high reservoir properties and high quality of groundwater meeting drinking requirements, which is located in the influence area of constant head boundaries (attracted resources of the Angara river) using a comprehensive geomorphological analysis. The described deposit is characterized by the aquifer thickness from 13 to 38.7 m, composed of karst carbonate deposits. The water conductivity coefficient is 1284–2500 m2/day, well flow rates vary from 4.88 l/s (422 m3/day) to 18.2 l/s (1572 m3/day) with a decrease of 0.78–1m respectively. The qualitative composition of groundwater meets the standards, whereas outside the field, quality indicators deteriorate. The authors have studied the neotectonic formation conditions of the deposit of underground drinking water, whose quality meets the requirements of the centralized water supply, the main source of which is the attracted resources of the Bratsk reservoir.
Is There a Policy That Reduces Mass Public Shooting Deaths?
Authors: E. Moody Carlisle
Published: July 2023

The fact that an individual is willing to commit the most serious crime that carries with it the most serious punishment means that that person is unlikely to be deterred by laws with less serious consequences. This situation is compounded by the fact that many multiple victim public shooters are expecting, even planning, to die in the commission of their crimes. Combining newly developed and traditional difference-in-differences methodologies, we analyze several policies that have been suggested as possibly effective in reducing deaths due to mass public shootings. We find that none of the proposed policies significantly reduce such deaths. However, we find evidence that mass public shooting deaths are lower in places that allow the carrying of concealed firearms.

The SPIR Model of Social Media and Polarization: Exploring the role of Selection, Platform Design, Incentives, and Real World Context
Authors: Harris Elizabeth Ann , Rathje Steve , Robertson Claire , Van Bavel Jay Joseph
Published: July 2023

Due to the rapid growth of social media, nearly 4 billion people now have online accounts where they engage with their social network, learn about the news, and share content with other people. The rapid growth of this technology has raised important questions about its potential impact on political action and polarization. We propose the SPIR Model to address how Selection, Platform Design, Incentives, and Real World Context might explain social media’s role in exacerbating polarization and intergroup conflict. Rather than simply asking whether social media as a whole causes polarization, we examine how each of these processes can spur polarization in certain contexts. We discuss how interventions might target each of these factors to mitigate polarization.

Authors: Pyakurel Kumud , Khanal Kanak , Pokhrel Anuja , Poudel Deepak , Dahal Sonia
Published: July 2023

Background and aims: Central venous catheterization is a widely used technique in the management of critically ill patients. Ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization has been shown to reduce complications and improve success rates. The internal jugular vein and subclavian vein are common access sites for central venous cannulation. In this study, we aim to compare these approaches in ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization.
Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted at a teaching hospital between August 2022 and January 2023. The study included adult patients requiring central venous catheterization for various indications. Participants were randomly allocated to one of three groups: internal jugular, supraclavicular, or infraclavicular approach. Puncture time, catheter insertion time, guidewire insertion time, success rates, number of attempts, guidewire misplacement, and complications were recorded.
Results: The study comprised 143 patients, and there were no significant differences observed between the groups in terms of demographic characteristics. Mean puncture time and catheter insertion time were significantly shorter in the internal jugular group than in the other two groups. There were no significant differences in guidewire insertion time and success rates between the three groups. There were also no significant differences in complications or guidewire misplacement rates between the groups.
Conclusion: In ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization, the internal jugular approach had a shorter puncture time and catheter insertion time than the supraclavicular and infraclavicular approaches, with no significant differences in guidewire insertion time, success rates, complications, or guidewire misplacement rates. Internal jugular approach may be the preferred approach for ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization.

Authors: Nendyowati Retnaningsih Eni , Birowo Mario Antonius
Published: July 2023

Hotel berbintang di Yogyakarta mengalami krisis akibat COVID-19. Kepercayaan konsumen untuk menginap di hotel berbintang menurun drastis karena konsumen memiliki persepsi bahwa hotel adalah tempat yang berpeluang menjadi klaster penyebaran COVID-19. Persepsi itu didukung oleh pemberitaan di media massa dan video viral mengenai pelanggaran protokol kesehatan di hotel. Peraturan pemerintah tentang pembatasan sosial dan syarat-syarat untuk tes antigen dan PCR untuk perjalanan jauh menyebabkan masyarakat memilih untuk di rumah saja dan tidak beraktivitas di hotel. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini akan mengangkat tentang strategi yang dilakukan oleh public relations dalam membentuk image hotel sebagai tempat yang aman di masa pandemi dan membentuk kepercayaan publik untuk beraktivitas kembali di hotel berbintang. Penelitian ini menggunakan situational crisis communication theory untuk menganalisis manajemen krisis, komunikasi krisis, dan strategi respon krisis. Metodologi penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dan pendekatan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara mendalam para general manager, kepala departemen, dan public relations di hotel bintang tiga, empat, dan lima di Yogyakarta. Temuan pada penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa public relations di hotel berbintang menggunakan strategi rhetoric of renewal. Public relations membangun kembali image hotel sebagai tempat yang aman pada masa pandemi dengan cara menghadirkan konten-konten berupa penerapan protokol kesehatan. Public relations melakukan retorika dengan pesan non-verbal berupa gambar, video, dan caption melalui media sosial. Public relations juga melakukan strategi respon krisis berulang ketika pemerintah daerah dan pemerintah pusat menggelontorkan aturan baru.

Published: July 2023

This viewpoint report describes how the evolution of transcatheter mitral valve intervention (TMVI) is influenced by lessons learned from three evolutionary tracks: (1) the development of treatment from mitral valve surgery (MVS) to transcutaneous procedures; (2) the evolution of biomedical engineering for research and development resulting in predictable and safe clinical use; (3) the adaptation to local conditions, impact of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) experience and creation of infrastructure for skills development and risk management. Thanks to developments in computer science and biostatistics, an increasing number of reports regarding clinical safety and effectiveness is generated. A full toolbox of techniques, devices and support technology is now available, especially in surgery. There is no doubt that the injury associated with a minimally invasive access reduces perioperative risks, but it may affect the effectiveness of the treatment due to incomplete correction. Based on literature, solutions and performance standards are formulated with an emphasis in technology and positive outcome. Despite references to Heart Team decision making, boundary conditions such as hospital infrastructure, caseload, skills training and perioperative risk management remain underexposed. The role of Biomedical Engineering is exclusively defined by the Research and Development (R&D) cycle including the impact of human factor engineering (HFE). Feasibility studies generate estimations of strengths and safety limitations. Usability testing reveals user friendliness and safety margins of clinical use. Apart from a certification requirement, this information should have an impact on the definition of necessary skills levels and consequent required training. Physicians Preference Testing (PPT) and use of a biosimulator are recommended. The example of the interaction between two Amsterdam heart centers describes the evolution of a professional ecosystem that can facilitate innovation. Adaptation to local conditions in terms of infrastructure, referrals and reimbursement, appears essential for the evolution of a complete mitral valve disease management program. Efficacy of institutional risk management performance (IRMP) and sufficient team skills should be embedded in an appropriate infrastructure that enables scale and offers complete and safe solutions for mitral valve disease. The longstanding evolution of mitral valve therapies is the result of working devices embedded in an ecosystem focused on developing skills and effective risk management actions.

The Remarkable Life and Legacy of Colonel James Skinner (Sikandar Sahib): An Anglo-Indian Soldier in Northern India
Authors: - MOHD IMRAN ALI
Published: July 2023

This paper explores the life and accomplishments of Colonel James Skinner, a notable figure in northern India during the early nineteenth century. Born into an Anglo-Indian community, Skinner’s unique heritage and experiences shaped his journey as a military commander, Patron of the arts, and influential figure in British colonial India.
The paper delves into Skinner’s early life, where his mixed parentage and upbringing fueled his desire for military glory and a strong sense of honour. Despite facing challenges due to his Indian heritage, Skinner found his calling as a soldier of fortune, serving under prominent Maratha princes and participating in significant campaigns against figures like George Thomas. The complexities of the Anglo-Indian officers serving in the Maratha army are explored as conflicts between Indian powers and the British East India Company arose. Skinner’s loyalty to his princely employer and his mixed ancestry led to his suspension, but he later aligned with the British Army under Lord Lake’s command.
Skinner’s Horse, the renowned cavalry regiment he raised, gained fame for their expertise with horses and weapons. Skinner’s exceptional leadership and care for his men created a formidable fighting unit and earned him recognition and respect in northern India. His achievements and patronage of the arts, including Persian manuscripts and commissioned paintings, demonstrate his deep connection to Indian culture. Despite his contributions and military prowess, Skinner faced limitations due to his mixed race, which prevented him from receiving the highest honors for his achievements. Nevertheless, he left a lasting legacy, with several areas named after him and his children, such as Sikandarpura, Alakhpura, and Enipura.

Published: July 2023

In this study, the use of the Fourier synthesis and the so-called Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) are evaluated in order to reveal the crystalline defect of the T’-type structure of one of 214 cuprate system, namely Pr2-xCexCuO4 (PCCO) powders. In the low-level density, the MEM calculations give a clear picture of the scattering and can eliminate the secondary scattering which may bother the main electron distribution of the specific atomic site. The covalent-bond is even clearer to be seen rather than the one obtained by the Fourier synthesis. This brings a further suggestion to use the MEM calculations in case of describing the scattering density of electron. Moreover, by means the used of the MEM calculations, the defect induced magnetism including the role of the tetravalent ionic doping and the annealing reduction effect is briefly discussed in this report.

La evaluación de las poblaciones de armadillos en zonas perturbadas por asentamientos y ganadería, reciben poca importancia, lo que afecta el estado de conservación de la especie. En nuestro país no existen estudios sobre densidad poblacional, patrones de uso de madrigueras y comportamiento general en armadillos. Por ello, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo caracterizar la población de armadillos Dasypus novemcinctus e inventariar las especies de vertebrados asociados a sus madrigueras, en una finca dedicada a la ganadería intensiva, en Soná, Veraguas, Panamá. Para la realización de esta investigación, se utilizó un método mixto de observación directa y cámaras trampa desde enero hasta junio de 2022. Se detectaron 47 armadillos y se determinó una densidad de 1.25 madrigueras/a y 0.38 ind/ha. Se registraron un total de 18 especies asociadas a las madrigueras de D. novemcinctus; nueve de aves, siete de mamíferos y dos de reptiles. Se presentan las primeras observaciones de Tamandúa mexicana, Procyon lotor y Conepatus semistriatus, los cuales no habían sido reportados en esta localidad. El presente estudio resalta la importancia de los armadillos como especie clave en ecosistemas, ya que por su actividad atraen múltiples especies, contribuyendo a mantener la biodiversidad; incluso en zonas intervenidas como fincas ganaderas.

El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue evaluar el rendimiento en biomasa de cuatro cultivares de maíz. Realizada en la Finca Aranda, Corregimiento de Pocrí, Distrito de Pocrí, Provincia de los Santos, en época de lluvia. Para este fin, inicialmente, se realiza la caracterización morfoclimática y se estiman las curvas de agresividad climática de la lluvia a través del índice   modificado de Fournier (IMF), ajustadas a la subcuenca del río Purio. Posteriormente, se evaluaron los cultivares de maíz P30-F35, SV 1020, IDIAP 1102 y ADV 9293. Implementado un diseño de boques completos al azar (DBCA), con cuatro tratamientos y cinco bloques o repeticiones. Como resultado se obtuvo que, el espacio que comprende la cuenca media y alta del río Purio expone valores estimados muy altos de agresividad climática >160; mientras que, la cuenca baja registra valores considerados altos >120 y <160. No obstante, para la variable rendimiento en biomasa el cultivar P30-F35 obtuvo la mayor media con 28 Kg, seguido del SV 1020 con 26 Kg, el ADV 9293 24 Kg y el IDIAP 1102 con 22 Kg. Concluyendo al no existir diferencia significativa, la elección del cultivar a utilizar está sujeta al costo de semilla en el mercado y el nivel tecnológico de cultivo.

Pobreza, punitividad y encierro en el siglo XVI español. La criminalización de la miseria en los albores del capitalismo
Authors: Martín Martinez Miguel Ángel
Published: July 2023

La problematización de la pobreza, la criminalización, encierro, reclusión y disciplinamiento de los pobres constituyen factores fundamentales para poder explicar con éxito el nacimiento del primer capitalismo. En este artículo queremos mostrar de qué forma la pobreza, que durante toda la Edad Media había sido naturalizada como una parte más de un orden divino, se convierte, a partir del siglo XVI, en una cuestión problemática que protagoniza apasionados debates. En esta nueva problematización de la pobreza encontraremos los mimbres con los que posteriormente se tejerá toda una tupida red punitiva y disciplinaria que tendrá como propósito la creación de un ejército de trabajadores sumisos en condiciones de miseria

Remote secure data storage is key importance in cloud computing. So, for checking remote data integrity, an important paradigm called PDP schemes is introduced. There are still PDP schemes which bilinear matching can be used. One huge file can be broken into various blocks. There is much computation cost and communication cost that arises due to inefficient PDP implementation. Anyway, this is not the right solution therefore, to solve this kind of problem, we propose a new one The PDP model: a blockchain-based private PDP. This new one the solution can be leveraged using blockchain which is vital role in cryptocurrency. For this new concept, paper formalizes its system model and security model. And then a specific blockchain-based private PDP scheme is created designed using blockchain and AES. It is very much safer and we also analyze its performance two different parts: theoretical analysis and implementation the prototype was our analyzes show that the proposed PDP the system is safe, efficient and practical.
CUMULATIVE REPETITIVE LEARNING MODEL

The Cumulative Repetitive Learning Model (CRLM) explores a novel approach to learning that draws inspiration from the concept of cumulative addition in statistics. In this model, learning is viewed as a sequential process of gradually increasing knowledge through repetitive practice and review. Similar to the cumulative frequency in statistics, where numbers are successively added to create a running total, the CRLM emphasizes the repeated accumulation of learning experiences and information. By incorporating cumulative repetition into the learning process, the CRLM aims to enhance knowledge acquisition and retention. Learners engage in iterative practice, revisiting and reinforcing key concepts and skills at increasing levels of complexity. This approach promotes deeper understanding, as each repetition builds upon previous knowledge, leading to a cumulative expansion of expertise. The CRLM acknowledges the value of distributed practice, spacing out learning sessions over time to optimize long-term retention. By systematically repeating and reviewing material, the model capitalizes on the benefits of retrieval practice and active engagement, facilitating the encoding of information into long-term memory. Through the exploration of the CRLM, this research seeks to uncover the potential advantages and mechanisms behind cumulative learning. By investigating the effects of repetitive accumulation on learning outcomes, the study aims to provide insights into optimal learning strategies and instructional design. The findings from this research may have implications for educators, learners, and curriculum developers, informing the development of more effective and efficient learning approaches. In conclusion, the Cumulative Repetitive Learning Model offers a fresh perspective on learning, emphasizing the power of cumulative repetition in knowledge acquisition. By investigating the impact of cumulative learning on educational outcomes, this research contributes to the broader field of education and provides valuable insights for enhancing learning experiences and outcomes.
