DETERMINING THE OCCURRENCE OF SOME VIRULENCE GENES IN PROTEUS SPECIES ISOLATES
Authors: Naji H. F. , Hassan A. A.
Published: April 2024

Forty isolates of Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria termed as Proteus, widely known for their swarming motility and urease activity, which cause complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), were isolated and identified. Two hundred and ten urine specimens collected from the patients suffering from UTIs, who were hospitalized in Babylon hospitals, were used for the isolation of Proteus species isolates. The morphological features (for cells and colonies), biochemical tests, VITEK 2 compact and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Proteus-specific genes were used for the identification of these isolates. The assessment of the antimicrobial profiles that represent the prevalence and the level of pathogenicity of the isolates was also carried out. Furthermore, the whole genomic DNA of the isolates was extracted to determine the sites of blaTEM, blaCTX-M, and blaSHV genes on the genome of the isolates. The results revealed that thirty isolates were P. mirabilis and ten isolates were P. vulgaris. These isolates were given names as PM1 to PM30 for P. mirabilis and PV31 to PV40 for P. vulgaris. The most effective antibiotics against the isolates were erythromycin (97.5%), followed by tobramycin (85%), ampicillin (82.5%), chloramphenicol (60%), piperacillin (55%) and 52.5% for each sulfamethoxazole and azithromycin. The meropenem and imipenem showed less resistance (35%) followed by ciprofloxacin (30%) and gentamicin (15%). The PCR assay exhibited that these isolates carried blaTEM gene at the rate of 38/40 (95%), blaSHV gene at the rate of 33/40 (82.5%) and blaCTX-M gene at the rate of 37/40 (92.5%). Therefore, reducing the frequency and severity of infections, however, more research is needed to understand how the rates of pathogenicity of Proteus species isolates can be controlled.

Published: April 2024

Vitamin E is one of the four fat-soluble vitamins that is made naturally in plants. It is one of the necessary vitamins for humans and animals, and the body needs it because it cannot manufacture it. It works to preserve polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUSFA) outside and inside cells in the body and prevents free radical formation reactions resulting from respiratory and respiratory processes and through exposure to toxic external factors such as pollutants. Its deficiency leads to many, Vitamin E comes from plant elements that are in the form of tocopherols, which are compounds that possess the activity of vitamin E. They are in the form of yellow fats that do not dissolve in water, but they do dissolve in organic solvents. The name (Tocopherol) is derived from a Greek word, where “Tocos” means childbirth and Phero from Bear. These words mean the producer of offspring or offspring and are linked to his main role in reproduction in various types of animals. The OL from alcohol is evidence that it is an alcoholic substance.

Published: April 2024

Background: Neoadjuvant therapy (NT) is increasingly used for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and yet reasons for not undergoing subsequent pancreatectomy are poorly understood. Given the importance of completing multimodality therapy, we investigated factors associated with failure to undergo surgical resection following NT for PDAC. Methods: SWOG S1505 was a multicenter phase II randomized trial of preoperative mFOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel prior to planned pancreatectomy for patients with potentially resectable PDAC. Associations between clinical, demographic, and hospital-level characteristics and receipt of surgical resection were estimated via multiple logistic regression. Differences in overall survival from 18 weeks postrandomization (scheduled time of surgery) according to resection status were assessed via Cox regression models. Results: Among 102 eligible patients, 73 (71.6%) underwent successful pancreatectomy, whereas 29 (28.4%) did not, primarily because of progression (n=11; 10.8%) or toxicity during NT (n=9; 8.8%). Weight loss during NT (odds ratio [OR], 0.34; 95% CI, 0.11–0.93) and the hospital’s city size (small: OR, 0.24 [95% CI, 0.07–0.80] and large: OR, 0.28 [95% CI, 0.10–0.79] compared with midsize) were significantly associated with a lower probability of surgical resection in adjusted models, whereas age, sex, race, body mass index, performance status, insurance type, geographic region, treatment arm, tumor location, chemotherapy delays/modifications, and hospital characteristics were not. Surgical resection following NT was associated with improved overall survival (median, 23.8 vs 10.8 months; P<.01) even after adjusting for grade 3–5 adverse events during NT, performance status, and body mass index (hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.32–0.95). Conclusions: Failure to undergo resection following NT was relatively common among patients with potentially resectable PDAC and associated with worse survival. Although few predictive factors were identified in this secondary analysis of the SWOG S1505 randomized trial, further research must focus on risk factors for severe toxicities during NT that preclude surgical resection so that patient-centered interventions can be delivered or alternate treatment sequencing can be recommended.

Authors: Balqis Riqah , Syahnur Sofyan , Ernawati Ernawati
Published: April 2024

This study aims to eradicate poverty by utilizing the manufacturing industrial sector, which cannot be separated from the influence of investment value and labor absorption. The analysis methods used are multiple linear regression and Vector Autoregression (VAR). The study employs quarterly secondary data from 1999 to 2022. The results of the analysis show that labor and investment partially have a significant and positive effect on the growth of the manufacturing industry. Moreover, by using a bivariate causality test, this study proves the existence of a two-way causal relationship between the economic growth of the manufacturing industry and poverty. Additionally, the study also analyzed the response of the independent variable to the dependent variable using Impulse Response (IRF) and Variance Decomposition (VD). It can be concluded that the economic growth of the manufacturing industry responds negatively to poverty, and poverty responds negatively to the economic growth of the manufacturing industry until both reach a balance. The contribution made by each variable in forming the value of that variable is different from one another. The implementation of good governance is highly expected in efforts to eradicate poverty in Indonesia, one of which is through increasing the economic growth of the manufacturing industry and then creating useful programs to increase investment and employment.
The Importance of Gold’s Effect on Investment and Predicting the World Gold Price Using the ARIMA and ARIMA-GARCH Model
Authors: Bunnag Tanattrin
Published: April 2024

This paper studies the importance of gold's effect on investment and the fact that gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset during economic uncertainty. When inflation rates rise, investors may turn to gold to preserve their wealth; the government will reserve gold to reduce the exchange rate risk. To provide a comprehensive analysis, the study incorporates forecasting the price of gold using both the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and ARIMA-Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARIMA-GARCH) models. The gold price data is daily from 1/01/2021 to 3/01/2024. We perform model comparisons that the ARIMA (2,1,3) and the ARIMA (2,1,3)-GARCH (1,1), which model gives lower mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE) values. The results show that the MAE and RMSE predictions of the ARIMA (2,1,3)-GARCH (1,1) model are 80.1371 and 96.8299, better than those of the other model. Therefore, the ARIMA (2,1,3)-GARCH (1,1) model forecast results are better precise. It gives a forecast value for gold prices in the world market at the end of 2024 of 1942.094 USD per troy ounce. Hence, the recommendation for investors and policymakers is that if the price is higher than 1942.094 USD per troy ounce in 2024, investors and policymakers should slow down to buy and wait for it to adjust first, or investors and policymakers with gold should gradually sell to make some profit. Moreover, good portfolio management will reduce the exchange rate risk by including an optimized amount of gold in currency portfolios. However, holding gold is risky; its prices may fluctuate due to factors beyond our control, such as war, uncertainty about world economic growth, and inflation. Therefore, investors and policymakers should consider the abovementioned factors and be careful when hedging in gold.

Published: April 2024

Achieving sustainable environmental quality has become a critical global issue, necessitating the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate environmental pollution. Hydropower energy has the potential to play a significant role in this effort by providing a clean, renewable energy source that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease CO2 emissions. This study examines the dynamic impact of hydropower energy consumption, economic growth, capital, and labor on Indonesia's CO2 emissions from 1990 to 2020. Applying the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method, the findings demonstrate that hydropower energy consumption has a negative effect on CO2 emissions in both the short and long term, indicating that increasing hydropower energy consumption leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions. Conversely, labor exhibits a positive influence on CO2 emissions in both the short and long term, suggesting that a rise in labor contributes to higher levels of CO2 emissions in Indonesia. Furthermore, the Granger causality analysis reveals a bidirectional relationship between CO2 emissions and hydropower energy consumption. The robustness of ARDL results is confirmed through additional tests using Fully-Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), and Canonical Cointegrating Regressions (CCR) methods. The findings underscore the importance of promoting sustainable hydropower energy for effective environmental management in Indonesia. Policymakers should prioritize investments in sustainable hydropower infrastructure, encourage the adoption of energy-efficient technologies, and develop a skilled workforce to mitigate the environmental impact of increased labor force participation.

Trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad y neurodiversidad: una revisión de la alteración y del potencial
Authors: Arboleda-Sánchez Viviana Andrea , García-Giraldo Maria Camila , Sánchez-Hernández Sebastián , Zuluaga-Pérez Melisa
Published: April 2024

Históricamente, la mirada dominante del trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) ha sido desde el paradigma médico-clínico, el cual se centra en las alteraciones identificadas en esta condición. Aunque dicho enfoque ha brindado recursos para abordar los desafíos que presenta el TDAH, ha descuidado aspectos importantes como las habilidades, potencialidades de las personas. El paradigma de la neurodiversidad comprende al TDAH como una diferencia cognitiva natural, no como un trastorno, haciendo énfasis en los aspectos que ha dejado en segundo plano el modelo médico clínico. Este artículo tuvo como objetivo establecer una relación entre los postulados de estas dos miradas en torno al TDAH, proponiendo una reflexión desde el reconocimiento de las diferencias para el contexto educativo. Se realizó una investigación documental basada en la revisión de textos científicos y académicos. La neurodiversidad tiene importantes retos, debido a que los niños y niñas con TDAH siguen siendo percibidos en el contexto educativo desde el problema, la alteración y la dificultad. Se observa poco reconocimiento del potencial de esta población en el aula, por lo que se busca integrar las miradas de estos dos modelos, reconociendo la disfunción, pero también el potencial de las personas con TDAH.

Introduction: Chronic migraines (CM) affect a significant portion of the Saudi population, yet patients lack access to Eptinezumab, a drug with proven preventive efficacy and a strong safety record. This analysis aims to evaluate Eptinezumab’s effectiveness in managing CM and advocate for its availability to Saudi patients. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of data from two clinical trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifiers: NCT02275117 and NCT02974153), involving patients treated with 100mg or 300mg doses of Eptinezumab or a placebo, delivered through IV infusion. Results: The analysis included data from over 1400 individuals, revealing that Eptinezumab significantly reduces MMDs, with the 300mg dosage being more effective than the 100mg. The 300mg dose reduced MMDs by an average of -8.2 days, while the 100mg dose achieved a reduction of -7.7 days. Discussion: Our findings confirm the substantial benefits of Eptinezumab in reducing the burden of CM, with both dosages showing effectiveness. The 300mg dose, in particular, provides a greater reduction in MMDs. These results, paired with the drug’s excellent safety profile, suggest that Eptinezumab would be a valuable addition to the treatment options available to Saudi patients. Conclusion: The administration of Eptinezumab at the studied dosages demonstrates prolonged preventive effects on CM with minor side effects. This supports the potential for introducing Eptinezumab in Saudi Arabia, proposing it as a promising CM treatment to improve patient outcomes.
The Integration of Soft Skills in Language Learning Classroom: The Perspective of Thai ELT Teachers at A University of Technology
Authors: Boonmoh Atipat , Chanchay Kittiya
Published: April 2024

Upon graduating, students are expected to have acquired soft skills to meet potential employers’ expectations. Since employers today are competing for qualified graduates possessing relevant training and workplace competencies, ELT teachers should guide their learners towards obtaining both a comprehensive understanding of theoretical concepts and a range of interpersonal abilities. This study examined whether Thai teachers incorporate these soft skills in the classroom, which soft skill elements are prioritized and taught, and how the teachers implemented these elements in their EFL classrooms. Twenty ELT teachers from Rajamangala University of Technology in Thailand participated in an online survey and semi-structured interviews. Data was collected using a 4-point Likert-scale questionnaire, which revealed that the teachers reported that they integrated soft skills into the classroom, primarily in the domains of learning skills, literacy skills, and life skills. The three soft skills reported to be most utilized were communication skills, technology literacy, and collaboration and teamwork, which are all essential for improving English language proficiency. The findings suggest that ELT teachers identify and facilitate the acquisition of weaker supplementary skills, such as leadership, to equip students with the necessary skills to succeed.

Parents are men and women who are bound by marriage and are ready to assume responsibility as the father and mother of the children they give birth to. Parents are two different individuals entering life together by bringing views, daily habits. The writer of Proverbs also emphasized to parents to use the "rod of discipline" with their children in guiding them to have faith in God. He who does not use a stick hates his children, but he who loves his children chastens them in time (Proverbs 13:24). It is also said that there is a time when children are so easily guided to know God. This time should be used by parents as soon as possible. “Behold your child as long as there is hope, but do not desire his death (Proverbs 19:18). The results of this research can be used as a theoretical basis regarding the role of parents in the growth of children's faith. The results of this research can be studied theoretically and academically by Theological Colleges and Christian researchers. In writing this thesis the researcher used qualitative research methods. And the author uses basic theories from various sources, namely: books and the Bible. From this research, it was found that parents have played a role in the growth of children's faith so that the results can be that children who experience growth in faith experience spiritual formation and the children provide themselves to be involved in service at the local church.

TÜRKİYE’DE ÇOK PARTİLİ YAŞAMA GEÇİŞTE KAMUSAL ALANIN DÖNÜŞÜMÜ
Authors: Öncel Muhammed Asım
Published: April 2024

Kamusal alan kavramı, vatandaşların siyasalla ilişkisine aracılık eden ya da bizzat onları siyasallaştıran bir alan olması açısından demokrasi için büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Kamusal alan, siyasal tartışmaların devletin ve iktidarın kontrolünden bağımsız bir şekilde yapıldığı, aynı zamanda eşit ve özgür katılımlı bir ortam olduğu müddetçe güçlü bir meşruiyet kaynağı sunar. Türk siyasal hayatında demokrasiye geçişin önemli bir boyutunu da kamusal alandaki dönüşüm oluşturmaktadır. Tek parti döneminde “aşkın” olarak kurumsallaşan devlet yapısı ve çok zayıf bir sivil toplumun varlığı kamusal alanın sınırlarının oldukça daralmasına neden olmuştur. Bu dönemde kamusal alan, yalnızca devlet elitine özgü bir sosyalleşme aracı olarak ortaya çıkmaktaydı. Çok partili yaşama geçişin ilk yıllarında ise halkın kamusal alanda aktif olduğu ve siyasal tartışmalara yoğun ilgi gösterdiği bir ortamdan bahsedilebilir. Bu değişimin unsurlarının ve nedenlerinin incelenmesi Türk siyasal yaşamı ve demokrasi tarihimiz açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin demokrasi tecrübesinin önemli bir dönüm noktası olan çok partili yaşama geçişin ilk yıllarında, kamusal alanın nasıl bir dönüşüm geçirdiği incelenmektedir.

Published: April 2024

The Intra-Uterine Device (IUD) stands out as one of the safest long-term contraceptives, boasting a remarkable user effectiveness rate of 99.4%. Despite this, recent data from the 2021 Indonesian health profile in South Kalimantan Province reveals suboptimal coverage of IUD usage. Specifically, the coverage stands at 1.95% with 12,011 users in the region, 1.02% (477 users) in Kotabaru District, and 1.79% (82 users) in the Serongga Health Center. These figures fall short of the targeted coverage of 12.9%. This study aims to identify factors influencing IUD usage among women of childbearing age. Employing an analytical observational method with a Case-Control design, the research was conducted within the Serongga Health Center's jurisdiction. The investigation sought to establish correlations between education, knowledge, occupation, age, parity, and husband support with the utilization of IUDs among women of childbearing age. Utilizing a cluster proportional random sampling technique, the study comprised a sample population of 110 individuals. Statistical analysis involved the application of the Chi-Square test and Logistic Regression test for multivariate analysis. The findings of the study indicate that education (p=0.554), knowledge (p=0.308), age (p=0.566), and parity (p=0.835) demonstrate no significant association with IUD usage among women of childbearing age. Conversely, occupational factors (p=0.022, Exp (B)=2.667) and husband support (p=0.035, Exp (B)=2.813) exhibit a notable association. Notably, occupation emerges as the dominant factor influencing IUD usage.

The Subject and the Body under the Gaze of the Realm of Reality
Authors: Li Zongqi
Published: April 2024

The gaze of the realm of the real is difficult to grasp for the subject who has entered the realm of the symbolic, but it is at the same time the presence that gives the subject certainty as the flicker of the impossible real and the presence in the realm of the field that constantly provokes the subject's desire for it. In this desire, the subject actually encounters the desire of the Big Other directly and is manipulated by it, transforming into the driving subject. This paper will analyze the fragmentation of the subject and its body under this provocation of the gaze of the realm of the real, and its reduction to a vacillating signifier exiled from the symbolic order by being oriented towards absolute death.
Research on the Judicial Confirmation Procedure of Civil Mediation Agreements
Authors: Liu Dan
Published: April 2024

After the revision of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China in 2021, the scope of application of judicial confirmation has been expanded, but the effective application of this procedure has not been increased from the actual effect. As a non litigation procedure, it plays an irreplaceable role in the context of the reform of complex and simple separation and the establishment of a sound and diversified dispute resolution mechanism. However, since its establishment, this procedure has been controversial in terms of its nature, effectiveness, and other issues. Although it was ultimately included in the Civil Procedure Law as a non litigation procedure, there are still many shortcomings in its legal norms in terms of application subjects, initiation methods, review standards, etc. Analyze the inherent legal support and practical difficulties of these issues, and improve the connection between moral governance, rule of law, and social governance. The trinity of judicial confirmation procedures maximizes the release of the value of judicial confirmation procedures, which is of great significance for promoting the development of mediation systems, thereby promoting the governance of litigation sources to alleviate court litigation pressure, and improving diversified dispute resolution mechanisms.

Cointegration Behavior and Diagnostic Stability of Philippine Monetary Policy Implementation During the Period From 1990 to 2022
Authors: Nasution Eric J. de Sera
Published: April 2024

The observations made in this study were used to evaluate the diagnostic stability of the Philippine Central Bank’s selected monetary policy targets, namely, the Gross Domestic Product and inflation, with money supply, credits, interest rates, and exchange rates, as independent variables, using the autoregressive distributed lag and error correction model analysis. The co-integrating behavior depicted that all p-values of less than the 5% significance level generated different behaviors. However, analysis of the Central Bank’s performance showed that there were no unit roots at all (p > .05) that signified a strong indication of cointegration behavior. The diagnostic stability of the Philippine monetary policy implementation was established over the period from 1990 to 2022. Further, money in circulation caused increases in domestic prices, interest rates, and inflationary pressure, and ultimately affected GDP (ppp). Understanding cointegration behavior is an imperative implication for policy makers to observe and take into consideration.

The unstoppable growth of the Internet, with the use of ICT, has helped the improvement of computer applications, which facilitate virtual educational environments, in which they transcend from a traditional teaching to a new online educational modality, where the teacher must be thoughtful and creative to motivate students in these environments to learn. These require didactics that are perhaps more demanding than the face-to-face classroom, but not totally different. The physical separation between teacher and student must be compensated with a continuous didactic interaction. Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions in Ecuador had no alternative but to move their classes from a face-to-face classroom to an online one, thus emerging the reality of the teacher in the management of technologies in the classroom. In this sense, the objective of this article is focused on exposing how didactics applied in virtual environments can generate a new type of education. This article is the product of a bibliographic review, the contribution of several consulted sources and the author's experience from virtual spaces. The pandemic that today plagues humanity has increased the discrimination gap in all those groups in Ecuador that do not have access to technology, thus marginalizing them in their teaching and learning process, in the same way, the preparation of teachers in the management of tics plays is a key factor for these processes.

Since the beginnings of 2020, the new information and communication technologies have caused important methodological changes in the different disciplines of the Foreign Language Teacher Education Program at Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas. Its use has contributed to a meaningful learning-centered on the students, boosted by the epidemiological crisis caused by SARS- Cov- 2 virus which has provoked the close of face-to-face activities in the different educational levels. The third year students from this program have had difficulties in the development of receptive skills in the English language because of distance education modality. The qualitative research was followed, specifically its action research method. The historical - logical, analysis - synthesis and induction - deduction, document analysis, analysis of students’ outcomes, interview, teacher's diary, and triangulation methods were used during the development of this study. The objective was to design an alternative to assist these students in the development of receptive skills in the elective course Laboratory Practice V through blended learning. As a result, the students are taking the risk of studying individually and managing to develop their receptive skills in English to acceptable levels.

Authors: Cárdenas Paredes Karina Dayana
Published: April 2024

Reparation of damages is an obligation of the State, whose fundamental objective is to return the victim to the moment in which he/she was before the violation of his/her rights, for which reason measures have been developed to repair the damages caused, which will depend on whether they are of a material or immaterial nature. The general objective of this article is to analyze, comparatively and critically, the comprehensive reparation of damages as a criminal legal institute, which is regulated in Spain and Ecuador, respectively. In order to achieve the research result, research methods such as literature review, historical-logical, documentary analysis and inductive-deductive methods have been used, which have allowed us to confirm that the two forms of legal regulation of reparation comply with the purpose of helping to repair the damages to the victims of crimes, however, more mechanisms should be developed to compensate the damage through the Administration of Justice and to comply with the duty to protect the fundamental rights that as human beings belong to us.

The water resources formed in the territory of the liberated Karabakh region have special importance in the sustainable water supply of the republic. By using these water resources effectively and comprehensively, it is possible to reliably supply water to the population located in the territory of the liberated Karabakh and East Zangezur economic regions. It is necessary to efficiently use the water resources of these rivers, which are very loaded in autumn and spring. It is possible to fully meet the electricity demand of the population living in these economic regions by building hydraulic engineering devices for various purposes on these rivers and create large fishing farms by using the water resources that will be collected in the reservoir basins. In the article, the issues related to the management of the water resources of the Barghushad and Hekari Rivers, which have great hydropower and biological potential. Only the hydropower potential of the Okhchu River, which is located in the area and extremely polluted by Armenia, can be used. The water of the Okhchu River, which is extremely toxic and polluted with heavy metals, poses a serious threat to the fish stock of the Khudafar reservoir built on the Araz River.

Authors:   Department of Animal Science, University of Abuja, Nigeria, Daniel Nnadozie Anorue
Published: April 2024

This study was carried out to investigate the haematological and serum biochemical parameters of weaned pigs fed maize cob-cassava peel mixture as partial replacement for maize. A total of 36 crossbreed male piglets with initial body weight (6.07±0.02 kg) of about 7-8 weeks’ old were randomly distributed into four groups of nine animals per treatment. Each treatment was further divided into three replicates consisting of three pigs in a completely randomized design. Pigs in treatment 1 were fed 0 % maize cob-cassava peel mixture (CPMCM) while CPMCM was used to replace maize at 10 % (T2), 20 % (T3) and 30 % (T3). Phytochemical evaluation of CPMCM revealed the presence of alkaloids (19.10 mg/kg), tannins (8.17 mg/kg), saponins (9.11 mg/kg), cyanide (16.50 mg/kg), flavonoids (12.86 mg/kg) and phenol (7.72 mg/kg). All the haematological parameters: red blood cell, pack cell volume, haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, white blood cell, monocytes, basophils and lymphocytes were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the treatment except for platelet values (P>0.05). Similarly, total protein, total bilirubin and gluscose levels were significantly different (P<0.05) among the treatments except for cholesterol, urea, creatinine, activities of alkaline phosphatase, alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase were not influenced by the treatment (P>0.05). However, values were within the normal range for heathy weaner pigs. It was concluded that CPMCM can be used to partially replace maize up to 30 % without having any negative effect on the health status of pigs.
