Lipid-lowering for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in the new era: A practical approach to combination therapy: Lipid-lowering and combination therapy
Authors: Michos Erin D. , Ferdinand Keith C.
Published: July 2022

Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is the main etiologic factor for the development and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and LDL-C reduction is a central tenet of ASCVD treatment and prevention. Moreover, ASCVD risk reduction is proportional to the magnitude of LDL-C lowering. Recent European guidelines have recommended a goal of <55 mg/dL (<1.4 mmol/L) for patients at very-high cardiovascular risk, while the U.S. guideline considers an LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (≤1.8 mmol/L) as a threshold to intensify therapy with the addition of a non-statin therapy to statins. To reach these lower LDL-C goals of <55 mg/dL or <70 mg/dL, combination therapy is necessary in the majority of these patients. Drug combinations, and in particular single-pill combinations, may substantially increase adherence to therapy. Adherence is essential for achieving a clinical benefit and, as many patients discontinue medications, the long-term adherence to lipid-lowering therapy represents a major issue in ASCVD prevention. Secondary prevention or high-risk primary prevention patients, such as those with familial hypercholesterolemia in whom maximally-tolerated statin doses alone would not be anticipated to sufficiently lower LDL-C, would benefit from combination therapy. In current clinical practice, statins with ezetimibe, statins plus PCSK9 inhibitors (with or without ezetimibe), and, most recently statins or ezetimibe with bempedoic acid are the most commonly used combination therapies for LDL-C-lowering. This review outlines the importance of using combination therapy for the achievement of LDL-C treatment

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis struktur pesawat tanpa awak (drone) yang akan digunakan untuk pengambilan gambar melalui pantauan udara. Struktur yang akan dianalisis yaitu bagian lengan yang berfungsi sebagai tempat pemasangan motor listrik dan propeller. Gaya angkat yang dihasilkan oleh motor listrik dan propeller menyebabkan struktur lengan tersebut mengalami defleksi sehingga akan memengaruhi arah gaya angkat dan mengurangi efektivitas gaya angkat. Perhitungan defleksi struktur dilakukan dengan pendekatan empiris, dimana slope (kemiringan) dan deformation (defleksi) dihitung dengan menggunakan distribusi internal bending moment sepanjang struktur lengan drone. Tiga jenis penampang struktur lengan yang dianalisis yaitu penampang plat datar, penampang berbentuk U (U-channel), dan penampang berbentuk kotak (Square-channel). Berdasarkan hasil analisis, diperoleh bahwa penampang plat datar memiliki berat 13,55 gram dan memberikan defleksi 4,38 mm. Penampang U-channel memiliki berat 13,35 gram dan defleksi 0,12 mm. Sedangkan penampang Square-channel memiliki berat 13,02 gram dan defleksi 0,06 mm. Dari ketiga jenis penampang tersebut, penampang berbentuk kotak (Square-channel) dipilih sebagai penampang terbaik karena dapat memberikan defleksi yang lebih kecil dengan berat yang hampir sama.

This paper presents a comprehensive study of silver, billon and copper coins bearing the name Hethoum, which leads to the following conclusions: a. Hetum II did not issue any coins. The following types were mistakenly attributed to him: billons with the facing bust of the king and a two-barred cross; billons with a facing bust of the king and a cross with equal bars; coppers with a facing head of the king and a two-barred cross; coppers with a seated figure and a cross with equal bars. b. All coins with the name Hethoum were issued only under the reign of Hethoum I, during the years 1226-1268/9. Hethoum II was the only one in the whole series of Kilikian kings who refused to be crowned, which is mentioned in Armenian and foreign sources, and in 1293 had become a Franciscan monk, taking the name Hovhannes. Refusing to wear a crown and adopting a religious name explain the reason why Hethoum II did not issue coins․

Cellular mechanisms of hippocampal gamma frequency oscillations
Authors:   Teaching University Geomedi, Kipiani Ekaterine , Barbakadze Maia , Tseskhladze Zurab
Published: July 2022

Gamma oscillations are known as cognitive rhythms due to their occurrence during the cognitive functions such as working memory, episodic memory, memory encoding and retrieval, sensory binding and attention. Gamma oscillations can be easily transferred into epileptic activity. Altered gamma rhythms are seen during the brain disorders such as schizophrenia, dementia and autism. Hence, studying the mechanisms of gamma rhythms is of great importance. Recent discoveries revealed new details of gamma oscillations. The classical view about the parvalbumin containing perisomatic basket cells that drives the gamma oscillation is valid for CA3 region of hippocampus but it may not be so for CA1 region. However, medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) derived axo-axonic cells action potential discharge follows the gamma rhythm in CA1 together with caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE) derived trilaminar and back-projecting interneurons. Oriense-Lacunosum-Moleculare (OLM) cells appear to have dual origine and can be modulated by gamma frequency. Using the modern technologies and relying on the current knowledge and new insights about neuronal elements in gamma frequency oscillation will help the scientists to study the mechanisms of cognitive rhythms in more details.
COVID-19 and innate immunity
Authors:   Teaching University Geomedi, Tavkhelidze Teimuraz
Published: July 2022

The human body fights many pathogens in the environment with different methods. One of them is immunity. There are innate and acquired immunities. The purpose of innate immunity is to maintain the body's own and biological individuality, to identify and destroy foreign substances and cells, including pathogenic bacteria and viruses, as well as tumor cells that have grown in the body. The innate immune response accomplishes this by means of myeloid lineage cells that have no strict specificity for antigens, do not elicit a clonal response, and have no memory for primary contact with a foreign agent. Acquired immunity has the ability to recognize and respond to individual antigens, characterized by a clonal response in which lymphoid cells are also involved. He has an immunological memory. The body responds to COVID-19 invasion with both innate and acquired immunity. This article reviews the innate immune response to the invasion of COVID-19 in the body.

The role of internal marketing in employees' organizational identification
Authors: Milanović Vesna , Bučalina-Matić Andrea , Njegić Katarina
Published: July 2022

In this paper, we have tried to present the role of internal marketing (IM) in employees' organizational identification (OI) based on the review and analysis of relevant empirical studies that were published in the period from 2009 to the present. The analysis showed that IM has a significant role in increasing employees' OI (the direct impact). The impact of IM on OI also takes place through two groups of mediators: internal marketing orientation (IMO) and the adoption of IM philosophy by managers, i.e. employees' job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Employees' experience of the programmes of IM and their perceptions of IMO affect OI, rather than management's attitude. However, IM programmes without managerial support do not provide the best levels of employees' OI. When employees are encouraged by managerial support to perceive IM, then their perceptions of IM are facilitated. In addition, the similarity between the perceptions of the organization's value by the manager and his employees leads to the harmonious growth of their identification with the organization. The transfer of OI from manager to employees encourages performance growth, and improves the perceptions of service quality by customers. OI mediates the relationship between IM and employees' outcomes. In accordance with the above, this topic is recommended to both theorists and practitioners; it is still insufficiently researched i.e. applied.
Between science, science-fiction and COVID19 as a way to interpret the ontological realm of COVID19. Humanity in the post-COVID19 and re-application of knowledge.
Authors: Iheanetu Chidinma , Tandlich Roman
Published: July 2022

The current article is an attempt by the authors to present a bioethical case, or rather a search being undertaken to develop tools to interpret the novel ontological realm which has been created, and continues to be transformed in real time, by the COVID19 pandemic and its aftermath. The ontological realm is new, but the physical features of the world and the human in it are partially constants and identical to the previous realm parameters, the pre-COVID19 space-time. The question of existence in the new ontological realm is…how can the continuum of Homo sapiens and its existence be sustained in this new realm? The tools being developed use of previous information and knowledge of the members of Homo sapiens as a starting point and source of metaphors as tools to facilitate existence in the new realm. In this way, existing knowledge, which is held by individual members of Homo sapiens, and which exists and continues being created in the continuum of Homo sapiens, can be the foundation for the creation of new knowledge about the post-COVID19 realm and the individual and collective comprehension of humans of it and in it. Conceptual metaphors, the creation of compound metaphor and the prospective dialectic are suggested by authors as a possible epistemic implementation mechanisms in this context. The adaptation of humanity, its imagination and some professions are used to demonstrate the case for the ‘new science of human existence’ in the post-COVID19 world.

Authors: Ditta Geoffrey
Published: July 2022

Emerging markets are once again gaining the upper hand. According to the World Bank, current market trends indicate that emerging economies will account for more than 70% of global economic output by 2050. With the economic enigmas and the return of emerging economies, three billion new people have suddenly integrated into the global economy, all at once: one and a half billion Chinese, one billion Indians, and half a billion people from the former Soviet bloc. How then can the strategy that predominates in the internationalization of a company be identified? In this study we will define the necessary internal organization of a company and its activities and establish what changes must be made in the internal structure of employees regarding quantity, qualification, training and facilities for machines, technology, processes, and quality control. Before starting to promote the company internationally, it is advisable to check whether the brand can be used or whether it should be changed. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had profoundly affected international trade, investment and travel. The pandemic has slowed the physical movement of people, goods and services, which is also the slowbalization thesis, and this now deserves careful consideration. The goal of this paper is to examine the objective of internationalization and the international development of companies. In this study are introduced the theoretical basis and a discussion on how exporting companies need nowadays to ask the right questions and how the analysis of the economic management can help internationalize their business. The second part of the study includes the results and conclusions.
Empowerment of Tidung Island Coastal Communities through Language: Toward Tourism Resilience
Authors: Kaprisma Hendra
Published: July 2022

Over 60% of Indonesian people live in coastal areas, which is a figure that escalates yearly. Thus, the government must prioritize the development of the marine sector on the Indonesian coast. As modernization and globalization progress, the wealth of the coastal culture should be preserved and cultivated as an identity or national pride symbol. The lack of educational factors such as foreign language skills prevents coastal communities from maximizing their territory’s potential. This study was conducted by employing the curriculum-based measurement approach on the coastal communities of Tidung Island. This approach was used to support foreign language learning activities on Tidung Island. The research on foreign language learning can contribute to increasing the local culture’s potential and enhancing the resilience of tourism on Tidung Island. Results show that age and prior knowledge of foreign languages affect the learning ability of Tidung Island locals. Foreign languages with a similar alphabetical script and phonology to the Indonesian language are easier for locals to learn. Learning new vocabulary and phrases related to tourism and hospitality can facilitate global tourism in Tidung Island.
How and When do Psychological Contract and Justice Perceptions Affect the Relationship between Servant Leadership and Employee Work Outcomes?
Authors: Bibi Annam
Published: July 2022

Academicians and practitioners have always been equally attracted to learning the effects of varied leadership styles on employee work outcomes. This study examines how servant leadership influences employee behaviors (organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and employee engagement) and evaluates the roles discharged by psychological contract and organizational justice perceptions on these relationships. Data were collected from 168 employees working in public hospitals. A standardized questionnaire was used to gather the data. Hypotheses were tested through hierarchical regression analyses. The study results revealed that servant leadership is positively associated with organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and employee engagement. Psychological contract partially mediates the effects of servant leadership on organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and employee engagement. Further, organizational justice perceptions moderate the associations between servant leadership and employee behaviors. The study results contribute to the extant research evidencing that servant leadership exerts direct as well as mediating effects on employee attitudes and behaviors. This study intensifies the comprehension of the impact of servant leadership on employee workplace outcomes. A superior understanding of the influence of leadership on a wide variety of employee attitudes and behaviors could inform solutions that better address demands for more people-centered management, caring leadership styles, and concern for the success of all organizational stakeholders.

Published: July 2022

This study aims to describe the formation process of the closeness in interethnic friendship among adolescents living in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. A qualitative study using grounded theory method is employed. Study participants comprised five adolescent girls, aged 16–17 years, with the following interethnic friendships: Javanese–Arabic–Tionghoa, Javanese–Arabic, and Javanese–Tionghoa. Data on the formation process of closeness in interethnic friendship were collected using semi-structured interview referring to the Closeness Interethnic Friendship Guideline for Adolescents. Data were analyzed using initial coding, focused coding, axial coding, and theoretical coding. Results reveal seven composites of closeness in interethnic friendship: disclosure, comfort, compatibility, reappraisal of the characters and other ethnic groups, support, similarity, and togetherness. Closeness led to the continuity of friendship, along with positive emotions, such as excited, comfortable, fun, happy, joyful, content, safe, and proud. This process occurred when the situation supported togetherness as well as, personal quality, experience, and appraisal toward the different ethnic groups, and the shared values understood by all the ethnic groups.
Islamophobia Among Malaysian non-Muslim Indian Undergraduate Students: A Focus group Study

Published: July 2022

Malaysia is often regarded as a multi-ethnic nation that inherited a few ethnic groups who were taken as homogeneous unions. Still, the rise of Islamophobia in Western countries has increased the same sentiment among Malaysian non-Muslim Indians, with the HIND RAF protest in 2007 demonstrating their deep concern for religious freedom. This study aims to understand the formation of Islamophobia among Malaysian non-Muslim Indians and their perceptions of Islam. This study employed the focus group method to collect data, thematic analysis to analyze data and purposive sampling to recruit 16 non-Muslim Indian undergraduate students. Intergroup contact theory was used as a framework to understand the mechanism for the formation of Islamophobia. Results showed that although participants from public universities have more contact with Muslim classmates than those from private universities, their knowledge and perception of Islam, as well as the levels of their Islamophobia are quite the same. The results suggest that it is important not only to increase contact between Muslims and non-Muslims in Malaysia but also to increase knowledge of each other’s cultures and religions, because increasing contact without knowledge will only further strengthen the existing prejudice. Through increasing contact and knowledge of both Muslims and non-Muslims, it is believed that the Islamophobia among non-Muslims would be reduced, thus increasing harmony among different ethnic groups.

Published: July 2022

The human cerebral cortex is symmetrically organized along large-scale axes but also presents inter-hemispheric differences in structure and function. The quantified contralateral homologous difference, that is asymmetry, is a key feature of the human brain left-right axis supporting functional processes, such as language. Here, we assessed whether the asymmetry of cortical functional organization is heritable and phylogenetically conserved between humans and macaques. Our findings indicate asymmetric organization along an axis describing a functional trajectory from perceptual/action to abstract cognition. Whereas language network showed leftward asymmetric organization, frontoparietal network showed rightward asymmetric organization in humans. These asymmetries were heritable in humans and showed a similar spatial distribution with macaques, in the case of intra-hemispheric asymmetry of functional hierarchy. This suggests (phylo)genetic conservation. However, both language and frontoparietal networks showed a qualitatively larger asymmetry in humans relative to macaques. Overall, our findings suggest a genetic basis for asymmetry in intrinsic functional organization, linked to higher order cognitive functions uniquely developed in humans.

Megakaryocytes (MKs) continuously produce platelets to support hemostasis and form a niche for hematopoietic stem cell maintenance in the bone marrow. MKs are also involved in inflammatory responses; however, the mechanism remains poorly understood. Using single-cell sequencing, we identified a CXCR4 highly expressed MK subpopulation, which exhibited both MK-specific and immune characteristics. CXCR4highMKs interacted with myeloid cells to promote their migration and stimulate the bacterial phagocytosis of macrophages and neutrophils by producing TNFα and IL-6. CXCR4highMKs were also capable of phagocytosis, processing, and presenting antigens to activate T cells. Furthermore, CXCR4highMKs also egressed circulation and infiltrated into the spleen, liver, and lung upon bacterial infection. Ablation of MKs suppressed the innate immune response and T cell activation to impair the anti-bacterial effects in mice under theListeria monocytogeneschallenge. Using hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell lineage-tracing mouse lines, we show that CXCR4highMKs were generated from infection-induced emergency megakaryopoiesis in response to bacterial infection. Overall, we identify the CXCR4highMKs, which regulate host-defense immune response against bacterial infection.

The essential biometal manganese (Mn) serves as a cofactor for several enzymes that are crucial for the prevention of human diseases. Whether intracellular Mn levels may be sensed and modulate intracellular signaling events has so far remained largely unexplored. The highly conserved target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1, mTORC1 in mammals) protein kinase requires divalent metal cofactors such as magnesium (Mg2+) to phosphorylate effectors as part of a homeostatic process that coordinates cell growth and metabolism with nutrient and/or growth factor availability. Here, our genetic approaches reveal that TORC1 activity is stimulated in vivo by elevated cytoplasmic Mn levels, which can be induced by loss of the Golgi-resident Mn2+ transporter Pmr1 and which depend on the natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) metal ion transporters Smf1 and Smf2. Accordingly, genetic interventions that increase cytoplasmic Mn2+ levels antagonize the effects of rapamycin in triggering autophagy, mitophagy, and Rtg1-Rtg3-dependent mitochondrion-to-nucleus retrograde signaling. Surprisingly, our in vitro protein kinase assays uncovered that Mn2+ activates TORC1 substantially better than Mg2+, which is primarily due to its ability to lower the Km for ATP, thereby allowing more efficient ATP coordination in the catalytic cleft of TORC1. These findings, therefore, provide both a mechanism to explain our genetic observations in yeast and a rationale for how fluctuations in trace amounts of Mn can become physiologically relevant. Supporting this notion, TORC1 is also wired to feedback control mechanisms that impinge on Smf1 and Smf2. Finally, we also show that Mn2+-mediated control of TORC1 is evolutionarily conserved in mammals, which may prove relevant for our understanding of the role of Mn in human diseases.
Is gender-based violence a confluence of culture? Empirical evidence from social media
Authors: Rimjhim  , Dandapat Sourav
Published: July 2022

Gender-based violence (GBV) has been plaguing our society for long back. The severity of GBV has spurred research around understanding the causes and factors leading to GBV. Understanding factors and causes leading to GBV is helpful in planning and executing efficient policies to curb GBV. Past researches have claimed a country’s culture to be one of the driving reasons behind GBV. The culture of a country consists of cultural norms, societal rules, gender-based stereotypes, and social taboos which provoke GBV. These claims are supported by theoretical or small-scale survey-based research that suffers from under-representation and biases. With the advent of social media and, more importantly, location-tagged social media, huge ethnographic data are available, creating a platform for many sociological research. In this article, we also utilize huge social media data to verify the claim of confluence between GBV and the culture of a country. We first curate GBV content from different countries by collecting a large amount of data from Twitter. In order to explore the relationship between a country’s culture and GBV content, we performed correlation analyses between a country’s culture and its GBV content. The correlation results are further re-validated using graph-based methods. Through the findings of this research, we observed that countries with similar cultures also show similarity in GBV content, thus reconfirming the relationship between GBV and culture.
Un continente al servicio de la evangelización de China: América en la producción geográfica sino-jesuita
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Vidal Kunstmann José Miguel
Published: July 2022

El presente artículo examina los discursos histórico-geográficos sobre América transmitidos en China por misioneros jesuitas entre los siglos XVI y XVIII. Este busca demostrar el modo en que misioneros y sus colaboradores chinos crearon, cuidadosa y estratégicamente, sus informaciones sobre el continente con el fin de apoyar su agenda política y misional. El texto comienza con una descripción general de las estrategias de la misión en China y su relación con la producción geográfica sino-jesuita, para luego ejemplificar a través de un análisis de los contenidos sobre la geografía, etnografía y el “descubrimiento” del continente, la conexión de estas informaciones con los planes de la misión. El artículo concluye que las representaciones sobre la geografía, gentes e historia de América reflejan tres intereses interrelacionados: atraer la atención de los literatos chinos; resaltar el alto desarrollo de la civilización europea; y comunicar mensajes religiosos.
François Jullien y Roger Ames: Sobre la "sinología comparativa" y la propuesta de un nuevo lenguaje para el estudio de China
Authors:   Pontificia Universidade Católica Rio de Janeiro, Barreto Cristiano Mahaut de Barros
Published: July 2022

Roger Ames y François Jullien son grandes académicos que escriben sobre pensamiento chino antiguo y, sin embargo, han seguido caminos bastante diferentes en sus investigaciones académicas. En este escrito argumentaré que, aunque sus estilos, teorías y motivaciones son a veces dramáticamente diferentes, ambos autores comparten un interés por combinar la filosofía y sinología en un esfuerzo por develar la existencia de un contraste radical entre China y Occidente. Explicaré que el lenguaje se sitúa al centro de la afirmación de la alteridad china, en cuanto este es visto como reflejo de las inclinaciones procesuales de la antigua China. Así, Ames y Jullien han desarrollado un lenguaje híbrido, chino-occidental, que busca tender un puente entre Oriente y Occidente, y el cual, al mismo tiempo, respeta los límites y conserva la extrañeza propia de ambas tradiciones.
Teoría y práctica de la historieta durante la Unidad Popular chilena
Authors:   Universidad Finis Terrae, Ayala Munita Matías
Published: July 2022

En este articulo se interpreta teoría y práctica de la historieta durante la Unidad Popular chilena desde aspectos contextuales y sociales, intermediales y culturales. La teoría se expone a partir del popular ensayo Cómo leer al Pato Donald (1972) de Ariel Dorfman y Armand Mattelart como crítica al cómic de Disney pero también como implícita propuesta de una práctica distinta. Como contraste práctico se estudiarán dos ejemplos de las revistas de la Editora Nacional Quimantú Cabrochico y El manque. En estas historietas, basadas en la evaluación crítica de Dorfman y Mattelart, logran distinta articulaciones entre narrativa visual, la política y la recepción de los lectores.
Cuatro dilemas sobre la implementación del plan de Finalización de Estudios Secundarios (FinEs2) en Argentina

En Argentina, a partir de la sanción en 2006 de la Ley de Educación Nacional Nº 26.206 (LEN) que establece como obligatorio el nivel de educación secundaria, se creó en 2008 el del Plan de Finalización de Estudios Secundarios (FinEs2) destinado a aquellas personas mayores de edad que no habían completado dichos estudios. En este artículo se realiza un metaanálisis de la implementación de dicho Plan en la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina) desde la perspectiva de la política social a partir de la revisión bibliográfica de investigaciones antecedentes. Se plantean cuatro ejes de análisis a modo de dilemas en torno a: la cuestión social, la tríada universalidad/políticas del trabajo/políticas asistencialistas, la dualización de la política social y la participación de las organizaciones de la sociedad civil. En términos generales, interpretamos que esta política social-educativa expresa una contradicción intrínseca ya que reduce las brechas de desigualdad social al brindar un mayor acceso al derecho a la educación media, pero al mismo tiempo dicho acceso se propicia en circuitos educativos precarios.
Experiencias participativas en el Chile Actual (Editoras: Consuelo Biskupovic y Caroline Stamm, Colección Estudios Urbanos UC, Ril Editores, 2022)

El texto aborda diversas experiencias participativas post octubre 2019 desde distintas miradas. Las autoras sitúan el objetivo del texto en relevar una agenda nueva sobre el tema, enfocada ya no en políticas públicas, sino que en experiencias participativas. Este encuadre resulta del todo atractivo y necesario, puesto que desde distintas reflexiones post estallido emerge la deuda por salir de los estudios de participación institucionalizada, y avanzar a un análisis que describa, visibilice y también cuestione aquella participación bottom up que emerge del actor social. Los elementos relevados por las autoras entregan luces de caminos de análisis, que deben enriquecerse con los desafíos que estos tiempos nos imponen en relación con la materia, por lo cual la principal invitación es a tomarnos en serio la necesidad de analizar la participación.
