Several Problems of Procedural Complicity in Civil Proceedings
Authors: Smirnov Aleksandr Sergeevich
Published: May 2024

This article deals with the institution of procedural participation, including some issues related to the concept of it in civil justice, the difference between these institutions from other institutions, and the problems of their application in practice. The problem of protecting violated or disputed rights and protecting legally protected interests is becoming particularly relevant in the context of the development of the legal system in the Russian Federation. The resolution of claims with the participation of one plaintiff and one defendant in the case does not always make it possible to protect the entire range of rights related to material legal relations. A new feature of the research is to study not only the theoretical side of the procedural process, discuss issues related to the concept, grounds and classification of the procedural process, but also to address and propose ways to resolve controversial issues related to the theory and practice of the application of procedural complicity.

Introduction:

Allosteric inhibition of EGFR tyrosine kinase (TK) is currently
among the most attractive approaches for designing and developing anti-cancer drugs to
avoid chemoresistance exhibited by clinically approved ATP-competitive inhibitors.
The current work aimed to synthesize new biphenyl-containing derivatives that were predicted
to act as EGFR TK allosteric site inhibitors based on molecular docking studies.

Methods:

A new series of 4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid derivatives, including
hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (S3-S6) and 1,2,4-triazole (S7-S10) derivatives, were synthesized
and characterized using IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and HR-mass spectroscopy.

Results:

Compound S4 had a relatively high pharmacophore-fit score, indicating that it
may have biological activity similar to the EGFR allosteric inhibitor reference, and it
scored a relatively low ΔG against EGFR TK allosteric site, indicating a high likelihood
of drug-receptor complex formation. Compound S4 was cytotoxic to the three cancer
cell lines tested, particularly HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells, with an IC50 value comparable
to Erlotinib. Compound S4 induced the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in HCT-116
cells by arresting them in the G2/M phase. All of the new derivatives, including S4, met
the in silico requirements for EGFR allosteric inhibitory activity.

Conclusion:

Compound S4 is a promising EGFR tyrosine kinase allosteric inhibitor that
warrants further research.

Published: May 2024

Teaching activities are the main part of the process of teaching and learning. Therefore, the researcher was interested in finding out what activities were employed in the classroom. To find the answer, there was an English teacher as a participant in this study who taught more than three classes. This study used a qualitative method with a questionnaire, an interview, and observation as the research instruments. The questionnaire was derived from theories of English teaching methods and was used to gather data on the teaching activities applied in her classroom. Then, the observations were done to see the actual teaching and learning process in the classroom. At last, the interview was conducted to enrich the data and clarify what was found in the questionnaire and observations. The findings showed that the teacher stated in the questionnaire and interview that she used various teaching techniques. However, it was found that translation, reading aloud, grammar explanation, and exercises were mainly done. It implied that traditional teaching methods like the Grammar Translation Method are still implemented in our classroom. This kind of method focuses on what to teach; as its characters and principles show, it does not teach students how to use the language.

Screeningsmethoden voor mitralisklepdegeneratie en fokprotocol bij de cavalier king charles spaniël: een enquête bij fokkers en dierenartsen
Authors: Celis N. , Liekens V. , Hellemans A. , Smets P.
Published: May 2024

Myxomateuze mitralisklepdegeneratie (MKD) komt frequenter voor bij de cavalier king charles spaniël (CKCS) dan bij andere rassen. Het primaire doel van dit onderzoek was om na te gaan welk protocol fokkers gebruiken en wat volgens de dierenartsen belangrijk is om te implementeren in een fokprotocol. Het tweede doel van deze studie was om eventuele verbeterpunten van het huidige fokprotocol te identificeren en uit te werken op basis van een literatuurstudie. Dit onderzoek werd uitgevoerd aan de hand van enquêtes verdeeld onder dierenartsen voor gezelschapsdieren en fokkers in België. Uit de resultaten blijkt dat 44/60 dierenartsen hartauscultatie gebruiken als eerste stap om MKD vast te stellen en dat 51/60 dierenartsen ook echocardiografie aanraden. Radiografie van de thorax wordt slechts door 25/60 van de dierenartsen uitgevoerd. De bevraagde dierenartsen bevestigen grotendeels de bekende epidemiologie van MKD bij de CKCS. Volgens 53/60 dierenartsen zijn CKCS jonger dan andere rassen bij het vaststellen van een hartruis. Deze resultaten suggereren dat de combinatie van hartauscultatie en echocardiografie een belangrijke rol speelt in het fokprotocol. Volgens elf van de vijftien bevraagde fokkers is MKD de meest voorkomende aandoening bij CKCS en ze zijn dan ook bereid een fokprotocol te volgen.

Published: May 2024

Introduction. There are a wide range of techniques available for the removal of hyperplastic prostate tissue. However, the choice of method rarely considers its eﬀect on ejaculatory function.

Objectives. To evaluate the eﬀect of surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by endovideosurgical posterior adenomectomy (EVS AE) and transurethral electroenucleation of the prostate (TUEB) on copulatory function and its ejaculatory component.

Materials & methods. Sixty sexually active patients aged 58 to 78 years with indications for surgical treatment of BPH were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two equal groups. The ﬁrst group (30 patients) underwent EVS AE by standard technique without preservation of the prostatic urethra. The second group (30 patients) underwent TUEB. Before treatment, standard questionnaires used in urologic practice were completed: IIEF-5, IPSS-QOL, and the scale of quantitative assessment of male copulatory function (scale “MCF”). The block of questions speciﬁcally characterizing the ejaculatory component and the "Male Sexual Health Questionnaire", namely the section " Ejaculatory function domain", were analyzed separately. The assessment was conducted before treatment and at the 12th week following surgery. No signiﬁcant diﬀerences were found between the groups on any of the questionnaires prior to surgery.

Results. Three months following surgery, there was a signiﬁcant improvement in the IPSS-QOL scores for the EVS AE group, by 24 points and 4.3, respectively, and for the TUEB group, 25.6 points and 4.3 (both p < 0.0001). No change was observed in the IIEF-5 questionnaire (p > 0.05). A slight reduction in scores was noted on the MCF scale for the TUEB group (by 2.9 points, p < 0.05), indicating that the general state of erectile function remained unchanged. However, reductions were seen in the "MCF — Ejaculatory Component" and "Male Sexual Health Questionnaire — Ejaculatory function domain" scales for the TUEB group, with ballpark scores decreasing by 3.2 and 6.8 points, respectively (both p = 0.0326 and p = 0.0254), indicating a worsening in ejaculatory function following TUEB treatment.

Conclusion. When selecting a speciﬁc surgical approach for BPH management, consideration should be given to the patient's tolerance for the degree of invasiveness of the procedure while preserving ejaculatory function, and adherence to a treatment strategy that aligns with the patient's individual preferences and expectations.

Authors: Cranston Kaela D , Grieve Natalie J , Reitsma Rebecca , Jung Mary E
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

[PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] is a community-based diabetes prevention program delivered by fitness facility staff. Individuals at increased risk for type 2 diabetes meet with a trained [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] coach for six one-on-one counselling sessions. [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] coaches deliver diet and exercise information to clients using a motivational interviewing-informed counselling style. E-learning training is used to train [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] coaches. It is important to examine the effectiveness of training to ensure that it is working as intended.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effectiveness of the [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] coach e-learning training using the Kirkpatrick model of evaluation by examining: 1) coach satisfaction with training, 2) coach learning from training, 3) coach behaviours from training, and 4) client outcomes as a result of coach training.

METHODS

Fourteen fitness facility staff completed the [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] coach e-learning training and began delivering the [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] program to clients. Coach satisfaction with the e-learning training was assessed through a satisfaction questionnaire. Coaches completed pre- and post-training knowledge tests to determine whether they gained knowledge about type 2 diabetes prevention, [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] program information, and motivational interviewing from the training. Coaches’ behaviours delivering [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] to clients were examined to determine whether they were using motivational interviewing to deliver [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] information after completing the training. Finally, client outcomes of changes in weight and waist circumference and clients’ perceived satisfaction with coaches meeting their basic psychological needs were assessed.

RESULTS

Coaches reported high levels of satisfaction with the training (M = 4.58/5  .32). Paired samples t-tests demonstrated statistically significant increases in coaches’ knowledge from pre- to post-training for type 2 diabetes prevention information and [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] information. Coach behaviours demonstrated that coaches delivered an average of 78% of session content to clients using a counselling style generally inconsistent with motivational interviewing. Client outcomes revealed statistically significant decreases in waist circumference from their first to sixth session, and clients reported that coaches highly supported their basic psychological needs.

CONCLUSIONS

The brief [PROGRAM NAME BLINDED FOR REVIEW] coach e-learning training demonstrated favourable levels of effectiveness at all four levels of the Kirkpatrick model. Results from this study demonstrate that e-learning is an effective method for training fitness facility staff to deliver a diabetes prevention program.

Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

The Domestic Abuse Plan and Strategic Direction for Sexual Assault and Abuse Services set out a stronger system, prioritising the improvement of healthcare staff’s ability to identify and refer domestic abuse and sexual violence victim/survivors, as key areas for supporting workforce development. 

OBJECTIVE

The Microsoft HoloLens 2 is an augmented reality headset that projects holographic patients (HoloPatients) into the classroom. This evaluation explored potential uses of the HoloPatients in domestic abuse and sexual violence training, as a potential survivor-centred educational initiative. 

METHODS

In this qualitative feasibility study, frontline staff and community stakeholders from the domestic abuse, social care and law enforcement sectors were invited on three separate occasions (n=14, 12, 22) to a HoloLens demonstration which displayed nine patients. Participant feedback was obtained using post-evaluation surveys.

RESULTS

Survey data was analysed thematically. The HoloPatient was described as a ‘realistic’, 'adjustable’ tool which ‘creates a safe learning environment’. Uses include ‘pre-exposure preparation’ by ‘improving communication’ with the use of victim/survivor scripts. Identified as a suitable tool for workers inside and outside healthcare, including social care and law enforcement.

CONCLUSIONS

The HoloPatient acts as a low risk, adaptable tool, feasible for trainees to develop skills in a safe environment. This study demonstrates that professionals perceived the HoloLens as an innovative means to amplify the lived experience voice. Further research will evaluate this additional impact on trainees’ confidence and responses to victim/survivors disclosing domestic abuse and sexual violence within different disciplines, to drive improved outcomes.

Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Human-centered design (HCD) is vital for crafting impactful solutions, especially in regions with lower Routine Immunization (RI) coverage, like Northern Nigeria. The Routine Immunization Buddy System (RIBS), a human-centered solution, targets economically disadvantaged caregivers in Northern Nigeria.

OBJECTIVE

Through a community-based participatory approach (CBPA), this study explores caregivers' lives, focusing on socio-economic and health-related factors affecting immunization uptake, aiming to propose interventions for enhancing RI uptake.

METHODS

Employing a three-step HCD process, including the Discovery, Ideation, and Formulation phases, the study conducted Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) for caregivers and stakeholders capable of influencing the woman decision within a health setting. Semi-structured interviews facilitated an in-depth exploration of participants' experiences. Data collection utilized audio/video recordings, detailed notes, and observation sessions. Data analysis encompassed transcription, descriptive, and thematic analysis to inform evidence-based interventions.

RESULTS

The study found significant socio-cultural variations shaping healthcare access and decision-making among caregivers in Kaduna State were unveiled. Economic constraints and logistical challenges hindered healthcare access, particularly in rural areas. Marital dynamics showcased varying levels of spousal support and women's autonomy in healthcare choices. Caregivers expressed strong aspirations for economic empowerment, underscoring a collective yearning for personal and community advancement. Community-led initiatives, like advocacy campaigns and peer support networks, emerged as promising strategies to mitigate healthcare disparities.

CONCLUSIONS

Tailored interventions, informed by study findings, hold promise in addressing health disparities among Kaduna State caregivers. By addressing economic empowerment, fostering community-led advocacy, and establishing peer support networks, caregivers can make informed health decisions, contributing to community development. The findings from this research is being given strong consideration in the design of our cRCT study that aim to empower women to make informed decision about taking up immunization services.

A continuous training of trainers (ToT) of Korean language who teach in Training Institutions has been conducted by Korean Language and Culture Program Studies since 2019. This training was a cooperation with the Association of Korean Language Training Institutions or well known as PELBAKORI. In the past training, Korean language ability mapping using  pre-assessment of trainers has not been done. Therefore, Korean speaking ability mapping was conducted by examining the pronunciations and skill of understanding and answering of questions. To collect data, we used the recording, and those recordings that were sent before the training program were analyzed and classified into each type of error. In the future, this collected data can be a reference for designing books for trainers and also be data for future research related to Korean Language Trainers.

The Aftermath of 9/11: The Shift of Islam Representation in American TV Series FBI
Authors: El Sarah Ratu Nadhirah , Adi Ida Rochani
Published: May 2024

The conflict surrounding Islam has been going on for many years, even before the September 11th, 2001 (henceforth, 9/11) incident occurred. However, the fact that the post-incident living circumstances for Muslim people especially in America has been undeniably rough, raises a new trend where Islam is being represented poorly and almost always talked about in negative ways. There are certain characteristics which are attributed especially to identify Muslims, and also certain role that they play in media. Using the Representation theory proposed by Stuart Hall, this research aims to uncover how Islam is represented in American TV series, FBI, which might be seen as a reflection of how Muslims are living in the United States post-9/11 incident. The result found that in the FBI series, Islam is still mainly represented as Arab people, though in reality not every Arabs are Muslims, but the point of view has been slightly shifted for the better. The findings highlight the changing dynamics of Muslim representation, driven by the evolving Muslim community and market demands, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of cultural shifts in the representation of Islam.

This paper presents a novel hybrid approach, fusing genetic algorithms (GA) and penguin search optimization (PSeOA), to address the flow shop scheduling problem (FSSP). GA utilizes selection, crossover, and mutation inspired by natural selection, while PSeOA emulates penguin foraging behavior for efficient exploration. The approach integrates GA's genetic diversity and solution space exploration with PSeOA's rapid convergence, further improved with FSSP-specific modifications. Extensive experiments validate its efficacy, outperforming pure GA, PSeOA, and other metaheuristics.

Published: May 2024

Controlling the surface roughness of materials manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is critical for achieving functional performance of components and improving their mechanical properties. This is important for components whose surfaces cannot be post-treated using subtractive methods. In this study, the surface roughness has been investigated by applying different laser power and scanning speed combinations. Furthermore, potential effects of different locations on the build platform have been considered as well. The regression models have been developed using significant predictor variables, with their levels defined using face-centered central composite design. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure has been used to evaluate the statistical significance of factors and model performances for each prediction variable. It has been found that the average surface roughness of L-PBF Ti6Al4V alloy can be described with high fitting accuracy using laser power and scanning speed as predictor variables. The position of specimens on the build platform showed no statistically significant effect on the average surface roughness. The experimental research and statistical analysis reported in this paper will contribute to a better understanding of how position, laser power, and scanning speed influence the average surface roughness of L-PBF Ti6Al4V alloy.

Characterising the Hierarchy of Multi-time Quantum Processes with Classical Memory

Published: May 2024

Memory is the fundamental form of temporal complexity: when present but uncontrollable, it manifests as non-Markovian noise; conversely, if controllable, memory can be a powerful resource for information processing. Memory effects arise from/are transmitted via interactions between a system and its environment; as such, they can be either classical or quantum. From a practical standpoint, quantum processes with classical memory promise near-term applicability: they are more powerful than their memoryless counterpart, yet at the same time can be controlled over significant timeframes without being spoiled by decoherence. However, despite practical and foundational value, apart from simple two-time scenarios, the distinction between quantum and classical memory remains unexplored. Here, we analyse multi-time quantum processes with memory mechanisms that transmit only classical information forward in time. Complementing this analysis, we also study two related – but simpler to characterise – sets of processes that could also be considered to have classical memory from a structural perspective, and demonstrate that these lead to remarkably distinct phenomena in the multi-time setting. Subsequently, we systematically stratify the full hierarchy of memory effects in quantum mechanics, many levels of which collapse in the two-time setting, making our results genuinely multi-time phenomena.
