Authors: Özenç Lütfi , Özarslan Cengiz
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışmada, 32 ayaklı, pnömatik normal sıravari tahıl ekim makinasında, üç farklı tohum çeşidi, üç farklı hava hızı, iki farklı yapıda düşey iletim borusu ve iki farklı malzemeden yapılmış dağıtıcı başlık kapağı kullanılmıştır. Sıra üzeri ve ayaklar arası tohum dağılım düzgünlüğü ile tohumlarda meydana gelen zedelenmeler belirlenerek, bu parametrelerin tohum dağılım düzgünlüğü ve zedelenme üzerine etkileri laboratuvar ve tarla şartlarında ortaya konmuştur.
Çalışmalar sonucunda, ayaklar arası dağılım düzgünlüğünün arpa tohumu ve arpa-fiğ karışımı için en düşük varyasyon katsayısı KB-PK’da (Körüklü boru-Plastik kapak), buğday tohumu için KB-PK ve KB-DK’da (Körüklü boru-Döküm kapak) elde edilmiştir. GB-DK (Galvanizli boru-Döküm kapak) ve GB-PK (Galvanizli boru-Plastik kapak) kullanılarak yapılan ayaklar arası dağılım düzgünlüğü çalışmalarında bütün sonuçlar yetersiz (VK˃%6,3) grupta yer almıştır. Sıra üzeri dağılım düzgünlüğü çalışmasında iyilik derecesi yönünden tüm malzeme kombinasyonlarında ve uygulanan üç farklı hava hızlarında denemelerin büyük bir çoğunluğu %72’nin üzerinde yani çok iyi grubunda yer almıştır. Varyasyon faktörü açısından KB-PK uygulamasında 17 m/s hava hızında arpa, 21 m/s hava hızında buğday denemesi hariç bütün denemeler normal sıraya ekime uygundur.
Devenir soi dans la troisième Inactuelle
Authors: Poignant-Le Goff Avrile
Published: December 2024

Cet article se propose d’étudier en quoi la problématique du devenir soi, telle qu’elle émerge dans Schopenhauer éducateur, s’avère redevable de la figure de l’éducateur que Nietzsche y élabore. L’éducateur apparaît paradoxalement moins comme l’instigateur d’une formation de l’individu que comme le type d’homme dont l’éduqué lui-même doit assurer l’émergence future, en se mettant au service de la culture. La notion d’éducation de soi constitue alors le concept clé à partir duquel comprendre la vocation pédagogique nietzschéenne, en réponse au contexte de crise de l’éducation allemande : il lui faut s’éduquer lui-même pour pouvoir devenir à son tour éducateur.
Individualism against individuality: J. S. Mill and F. Nietzsche facing democracy as an anthropological turn
Authors: Dejardin Camille
Published: December 2024

Tous deux lecteurs de Humboldt et de Tocqueville, également animés du souci proto-sociologique et même « physiologique » de scruter les interactions liant l’épanouissement de chaque individu et la bonne santé du corps social, John Stuart Mill et Friedrich Nietzsche partagent, à quelques décennies de distance, un diagnostic inquiet sur la mutation qui s’achève sous leurs yeux : le passage de ce que Louis Dumont a appelé le schème holiste au schème individualiste sous l’espèce de la démocratie, non comme forme institutionnelle mais comme nouvelle condition humaine marquée par l’égalisation. De fait, l’anthropologie démocratique consacrant l’individu comme fondement de la souveraineté et comme dépositaire de droits inaliénables se déploie pour la première fois sous le signe de l’égalité, à la fois juridique et représentationnelle, à la fois principe politique et « passion » psychologique. Pourtant, au moment où il se voit ainsi sacré, l’individu semble dissous. Atomisé, nivelé, déchu de toute perspective de grandeur ou de distinction (sinon purement matérielle), il se voit réduit à un ectoplasme juridique et économique. La réalisation voire la fortification de l’individualité sont-elles encore possibles ? Un individualisme de l’individualité est-il compatible avec les valeurs démocratiques ? Si oui, à quelles conditions ? Peut-on envisager une politique de l’individualité ? De Mill à Nietzsche, le regard critique se fait de plus en plus radical et subversif, et aussi plus incompatible avec le maintien de la démocratie.
Becoming Who You Are
Authors: Zavatta Benedetta
Published: December 2024

The theme of character and character formation in Nietzsche is probably the one on which the influence of his reading of Emerson is most strongly felt. This author acts for Nietzsche as a counterbalance to Schopenhauer’s influence. While Schopenhauer preaches a doctrine of character as immutable, Emerson views individual personality as involved in a process of continuous development, aiming and straining always to achieve higher and higher degrees of power. Nietzsche shares this model and makes it his own, while distancing himself from Emerson for a number of important reasons.
Locations of LTL-logistics service providers as urban consolidation centers in Western Germany
Authors: Thiemermann Andre , Holthaus Tim , Mayregger Patrick , Leerkamp Bert
Published: December 2024

Proximity logistics represent a counter movement to logistics sprawl – the return of logistics to urban areas. In the case presented, a logistics service provider in the groupage and less-than-truckload (LTL) segment runs an urban consolidation center (UCC), offers receiver-led consolidation and additional service like stockholding to inner-city businesses in the city of Dusseldorf. The case shows that for the development of a UCC or a proximity logistics facility to succeed, no expensive space is necessarily required in immediate inner-city areas. The transfer to other locations of logistics service providers of the same segment shows that these could serve as possible locations for UCC in terms of cargo bike-relevant distances. We therefore conclude that the relevant locations of logistics infrastructure like ports and centrally located logistics facilities should be seen as crucial for the transformation to sustainable freight transport and its initiation by municipal governments.
Propuesta de modelización de pérdidas por riesgo de terremoto en España mediante la formulación de Solvencia II
Authors: Barbazan Senin Carlos , Garayeta Bajo Asier , De La Peña Esteban J. Iñaki
Published: December 2024

En España el riesgo de que se registren pérdidas por terremotos se cubre a través del Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros. Son incontables las casuísticas cubiertas por este Consorcio siendo, entre ellas, una de las más recordadas el suceso ocurrido en Lorca en el año 2011. Aunque este hecho pueda parecer aislado, otras provincias del ámbito estatal pudieran verse afectadas por este tipo de eventos también. Este es el objetivo de este trabajo: determinar el riesgo de terremoto que existe en España, así como en cada provincia y la interacción que se pudiera dar entre provincias. Para ello se emplea la directiva técnica de Solvencia II de 2015. Ello lleva a medirlo a través del submódulo de no vida dentro de los riesgos naturales. La propuesta desarrollada acorde a esta Directiva técnica para el caso de España lleva a determinar qué afectación tendría su implantación, así como la comparación con el mismo riesgo de pérdida de terremoto con los países vecinos a España.
Como usar bases de datos público-privadas en la gestión de riesgos aseguradores: geografía, clima y personas en el seguro de automóviles
Authors: Cespedes Coimbra Luis Enrique , Ayuso Gutierrez Mercedes , Santolino Prieto Miguel Ángel
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo se centra en la utilización de fuentes de información pública en la aplicación de modelos relacionales en las entidades aseguradoras, para el mejor conocimiento de las características de los riesgos y asistir a la toma de decisiones en nuevos entornos de sostenibilidad. Primero, proponemos utilizar la metodología de grado de urbanización de Eurostat para agrupar siniestros o pólizas de automóviles en categorías potencialmente más homogéneas en el sector asegurador (urbano / suburbano / rural) para su segmentación y análisis. Segundo, analizamos como las compañías aseguradoras pueden utilizar información climatológica local conjuntamente con el grado de urbanización para modelizar el número de siniestros de automóviles en una zona geográfica específica. Finalmente, aplicamos modelos relacionales a bases de datos con información anonimizada de pasajeros en accidentes de tráfico proporcionadas por la Dirección General de Tráfico de España con el objetivo de definir mejor las características de los siniestros en función del perfil de las personas que se encuentran dentro del vehículo. Se trata de conocer, por ejemplo, el perfil de los pasajeros de vehículos conducidos por personas mayores, también en relación con el sexo y la zona geográfica. Las compañías aseguradoras conocen la enorme potencialidad del análisis de datos y deben apostar por la búsqueda de relaciones usando información que puede estar dispersa en múltiples bases de datos, incluyendo aquella que es de uso público y que puede facilitar la homogeneización y comparación de resultados, junto al diseño de políticas preventivas y de gestión de riesgos. Incluimos los códigos en R poniéndolos a disposición del sector asegurador y de la academia para su uso.
Assessing Depletion Attractions Between Colloidal Nanocrystals
Authors: Ofosu Charles Kofi , Wilcoxson Tanner , Lee Tsung-Lun , Brackett William , Choi Jinny , Truskett Thomas , Milliron Delia
Published: December 2024

Adding non-adsorbing polymers to hard microsphere dispersions generates osmotic depletion attractions that can be quantitatively predicted and designed to manipulate colloidal phase behavior. Whether depletion described by classical theories is the mechanism for polymer-mediated nanosphere attractions is less evident. Colloidal hard nanospheres and non-adsorbing polymers are challenging to realize given the diverse interactions typically present in nanoparticle dispersions. Here, we use small-angle X-ray scattering to assess whether the depletion mechanism holds at the nanoscale, leveraging a recent finding that uncharged, oleate-capped indium oxide nanocrystals exhibit near-hard-sphere interactions in toluene. Classical modeling of polystyrene depletant as penetrable spheres predicts depletion induced phase boundaries, nanocrystal second osmotic virial coefficients, and colloidal structuring in agreement with experiments for polymer radii of gyration up to 80\% of the nanocrystal radius. Experimentally observed weakening of depletion interactions for larger polymer-to-nanocrystal size ratios qualitatively follows theoretical predictions that account for how polymer physics influences depletant interactions.
Using a heavy inert diffusion additive for superconformal atomic layer deposition
Authors: Choolakkal Arun Haridas , Mpofu Pamburayi , Niiranen Pentti , Birch Jens , Pedersen Henrik
Published: December 2024

The shrinking of device nodes increases the demand for deposition processes to seamlessly fill nanometer-scale features. Despite the precision of atomic layer deposition (ALD), it cannot deposit in a V-shaped fashion, characteristic of superconformal thin film deposition. We propose a strategy for superconformal ALD by adding a heavy inert gas as a diffusion additive. We show that the step coverage in an 18:1 aspect ratio feature increased from 1 to 1.6 with the addition of Kr in an ALD process for AlN from Al(CH3)3 and NH3. We speculate that the heavier Kr (84 amu) promotes the diffusion of the lighter NH3 (17 amu) down the trenches. Consequently, NH3 molecules are pushed to the trench bottom, resulting in a lower GPC at the trench openings. Further studies are needed to understand the effect of Kr, but we foresee that this approach to superconformal ALD is applicable to many ALD processes.

Published: December 2024

Herein we report the use of the methanide ligand {CH(SiMe3)P(Ph)2=NSiMe3}– (NPC-H) in the stabilization of alkaline earth and rare earth complexes. Protonolysis of the proligand with nBu2Mg or dibenzyl precursors [M(CH2Ph)2(THF)x] (M = Ca–Ba, Eu, Yb) afforded bis-methanide complexes [M(NPC-H)2(THF)x] (1-M·(THF)x; M = Mg, Eu, Yb, x = 0; M = Ca, x = 0, 1; M = Sr, x = 0, 2; M = Ba, x = 2). The same reaction protocol with SmⅡ afforded oxidation product [Sm(NPC-H)3] (2-Sm) reproducibly, which could also be obtained via salt metathesis reaction between [{K(NPC-H)}2] and SmI3(THF)3.5. This salt metathesis methodology was also extended to [REI3(THF)x] (RE = Y, La, Pr), affording tris-methanides, [RE(NPC-H)3] (2-RE; RE = Y, La, Pr). 1-M and 2-RE were characterized by multinuclear NMR, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction; additionally, reactivity of 1-Yb, 2-Y and 2-La as potential synthetic precursors was probed with HN(SiMe3)2 and HOC6H3tBu2-2,6. NMR studies of the 1-M family reveal some underlying changes in the M–C bond character and bonding parameters in the ligand. We also report the first 171Yb{1H} NMR chemical shift (1046.5 ppm) of an ytterbium complex with an iminophosphoranomethanide ligand. Finally, the electronic structure of 1-Eu was studied by means of electron paramagnetic resonance and ab initio calculations.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, the catalytic activity of scandium triflate [Sc(OTf)3] has attracted significant attention due to its robust Lewis acidity and the oxophilicity of Sc3+. These features have led to impressive progress in developing diverse organic reactions, including C-C bond formation. The Sc3+ cation also facilitates single electron transfer (SET) processes in photoinduced reactions either by coordination to an organophotoredox catalyst, which substantially modifies its redox reactivity, or by the formation of a scandium–superoxide anion complex (Sc3+-O-O•−) after electron transfer from a light-absorbing redox-active compound. The prior consideration of Sc3+ as a redox-inactive/innocent metal ion initially hampered the investigation of the possibility of using Sc(OTf)3 as a sole visible light photoredox catalyst. This research breaks new ground by demonstrating the inaugural use of Sc(OTf)3 as a visible light photocatalyst capable of direct and mild aerobic oxidative C-H functionalisation of aromatic substrates by oxidation of the benzylic position and direct cyanation of the aromatic ring.
Advancing Vapor Pressure Prediction: A Machine Learning Approach with Directed Message Passing Neural Networks
Authors: Lin Yen-Hsiang , Liang Hsin-Hao , Lin Shiang-Tai , Li Yi-Pei
Published: December 2024

Background: Vapor pressure is a critical property in chemical and environmental engineering. Accurately predicting vapor pressure across a range of temperatures is vital for various applications, but traditional methods rely on critical property measurements or quantum mechanical calculations, which can be limiting, especially for new or under-characterized chemicals. Methods: This study employs a machine learning model based on the directed message passing neural network (D-MPNN) architecture to predict the vapor pressure of organic molecules. Various strategies to incorporate temperature effects into the model are explored to improve prediction accuracy. Significant findings: The D-MPNN model achieves significantly better accuracy than the traditional PR + COSMOSAC method, with a lower average absolute relative deviation (AARD) of 0.617 compared to 1.36 for the traditional method, using a dataset of 19,079 molecules. The machine learning approach offers a robust alternative that does not require additional critical property data or quantum mechanical calculations.

Over the past fifty years, there has been a significant migration of people from rural areas to urban centers due to a lack of facilities, educational institutions, healthcare services, and employment opportunities in remote regions. This mass movement has led to increased pressure on large cities, which now face challenges in maintaining a livable and healthy environment as their populations grow rapidly. The demand for civic amenities has surged, particularly impacting road traffic, which has become a major contributor to air pollution and has negatively affected urban environmental health. In today's world, it is crucial to continuously monitor environmental pollution in cities to ensure they remain healthy and livable. One effective solution is the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) combined with smart sensor systems. These technologies can be deployed for various monitoring purposes, including tracking pollution levels in large urban areas. By integrating IoT with a network of sensors, a centralized city office can efficiently manage and oversee the system. This research proposes a framework for air quality monitoring in smart cities utilizing IoT and advanced sensor technology. The system is designed to measure parameters such as humidity, carbon emissions, temperature, smoke, noise, and other hazardous particles present in the atmosphere. The collected data is then transmitted to a central office for analysis, enabling timely actions to improve the city's environmental conditions. Additionally, the gathered information is stored in a database for future reference and can be shared with research institutions and environmental agencies for further studies.

Integrating primary health services is crucial for improving the quality and accessibility of healthcare at the community level. This qualitative study investigates how leaders of Puskesmas define and implement integration within their services, as well as the challenges and factors that influence this process. Ten Puskesmas leaders in several Municipalities of the Province of Jambi and one key informant from the Municipal Department of Health were interviewed to obtain in-depth insights. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews, and the information was analyzed using content analysis methods. The findings indicate that integration is viewed as a multi-dimensional strategy to enhance patient care coordination, maximize resource efficiency, and improve community health outcomes. Key factors affecting integration include leadership styles, inter-departmental collaboration, and the support provided by municipal health authorities. This study underscores the importance of robust leadership and strategic partnerships in facilitating service integration at the primary health center level, providing valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare administrators.
The Effect of Early Self-Detection of Diabetes Mellitus on the Healthy Behavior of DM Risk Groups Based on Health Belief Model (HBM)
Authors: Priyanto Agus , Suprayetno Eko Dian Hadi , Juwariah Titik , Sulaiman Jovi
Published: December 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a health problem throughout the world, and its prevalence continues to increase every year. Diabetes mellitus is often not realized by diabetics because it does not produce typical symptoms in the early period. Diabetes is a non-communicable disease (NCD) because of 80% unhealthy behavior. The problem in this research is that the diabetes risk group cannot yet carry out independent early detection of diabetes; they are not aware of their health conditions related to the incidence of DM, so they have not made efforts to change behavior to prevent diabetes mellitus and reduce risk factors that can be changed. This research aimed to determine the effect of early self-detection of diabetes mellitus on the health behavior of DM risk groups based on the Health Belief Model (HBM). This quantitative research used a quasi-experiment design with a one-group pre-post-test approach. The sample was 100 respondents by purposive sampling. The data collection used questionnaires based on HBM. The research intervention was by teaching the use of the SEDAB application and educating on healthy behavior to prevent DM; the interval between intervention and post-test was 4 weeks. Analysis of research data uses the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The research results show that the intervention has the effect of increasing perceived susceptibility (p-value=0.000), Perceived Severity (p-value=0.000), Perceived Barriers (p-value=0.000), Perceived Benefit Perceived (p-value=0.000), cues to action (p-value=0.017), Self-efficacy (p-value=0.000), and healthy behavior (p-value=0.000). Early detection of diabetes in diabetes risk groups is essential to prevent DM and improve healthier lifestyles.

The Self in the Digital Space: Exploring the Implications for Young Adults in Defining their Self on Social Media
Authors: Vuuren Danille` Janse Van , Simpson Meghan
Published: December 2024

Young adults are immersed in a digital world, captivated in a social media space in which they have acquired the power to design interactions based on desired gratifications, ultimately, presenting an ideal version of the digital self. According to the Self-Concept theory and the Presentation of the Self theory, individuals can present many versions of the self that may not align to the real self, which can have further implications on the individual’s development of identity. This begs the question of what benefits and challenges young adults may face in defining their concept of self when presented on social media. As such, this paper aims to address these benefits and challenges from an exploratory and constructivist approach to understand these implications of defining the concept of self on social media. A systematic review of the literature revealed that young adults present ideal versions of the self on their social media profiles by tailoring their posts to show higher social status, idealised images and biographies, and ultimately present their desired version of self. Whilst this may create a higher digital self-esteem, it also results in incongruent notions of self, negatively impacting self-esteem and creating a lack of self-concept clarity outside the digital space. Lacking in the literature is a focus on how the digital self is curated and how the challenges faced in this endeavour can be approached. Therefore, we recommend that further research focus on these areas and to provide solutions to the challenges faced.
GC-MS Untargeted Comparative Metabolomics between Healthy and Phytophthora palmivora infected Theobroma cacao Pod Husk
Authors: Cabugsa Ian Marc G. , Mindo Roland Anthony , Afalla Joval , Creencia Evelyn
Published: December 2024

Pod rot in T. cacao is overwhelming cacao orchards in the Philippines as the disease reduces the productivity of farms. Investigating the metabolite concentration of healthy and infected cacao pods to provide metabolomic information of the pathogenesis is the aim of this study. Metabolites extracted using chloroform:methanol:water solution of healthy and P. palmivora infected T.cacao were treated using untargeted GCMS. Ripe pods T. cacao were freshly collected from selected cacao orchard and were immediately preserved in liquid nitrogen before transported to the laboratory for further analyses. Analyte extraction was done following the protocols of metabolomic profile studies with some modifications. Data processing of the GC-MS results recorded the compounds suggested by the library with at least a similarity score of 70. The retention times of the compounds were manually aligned and their height were compared with the ribitol internal standard to obtain the relative quantification of the metabolites. The processed data were tabulated using MS Excel™ then subjected to Metaboloanalyst™ for PCA analysis. A total of 55 metabolites were observed in healthy pods while 59 for the infected pods. 28 of the combined metabolites were identified to be statistically different. These 28 metabolites are prime candidates for possible targeted metabolomic analysis or metabolomic markers for future studies on the pathogenesis and control of P. palmivora in cacao in the Philippines.
Overview of Vietnam–Japan Dialogue Relations: Insights into Past and Present Challenges
Authors: Diep Ngo Hong , Thinh Pham Van
Published: December 2024

Vietnam and Japan have had diplomatic relations for centuries, officially establishing diplomatic ties in 1973. Over the past 50 years, Vietnam - Japan relations have been influenced by the international relations of powerful countries and the historical context of both countries. While the relationship has achieved significant milestones, it has also experienced periods of ups and downs. Through a historical political economic approach and document analysis, this article provides an overview of the achievements and evaluates the challenges of the Vietnam - Japan relations. The results show that the Vietnam-Japan relations are a relationship between a developed country, acting as an investor, and foreign aid donor, and a developing country. Japan has expanded its investment roadmap, supporting Vietnam in developing transportation, energy, and healthcare infrastructure, improving administrative systems, enhancing human resource quality, expanding investment markets, and strengthening its Southeast Asian position. Despite the expansion of economic, political, and cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Japan, the relationship still faces challenges, most notably the internal challenges of both countries, such as differences in economic and political institutions, state models, and a significant gap in development levels. Understanding the past and current challenges is essential for formulating optimal policies for each country in maintaining and developing their relationship in the present and future.

Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена оперным премьерам по романам Игрок и Идиот Ф.М. Достоевского на театральном фестивале в Зальцбурге в 2024 году. В материале ведется анализ постановок американского режиссера Питера Селларса (Игрок) оперы С.С. Прокофьева и польского режиссера Кшиштофа Варликовского (Идиот) оперы Мечислава Вайнберга. Прослежена история создания, особенности музыки обеих опер, а также представлены уникальные черты зальцбургских премьер. Автор статьи не только лично побывал на фестивале, но и проследил оценки постановок в различных рецензиях, обратился к театральным программам, прочитал интервью с режиссерами и пр. Современное оперное искусство предстает в связи с классическим наследием, а также с сегодняшней культурой, общественной жизнью, политикой. Поднимается вопрос о «культуре отмены». Выстраивается цепь параллелей междисциплинарного характера, что позволяет по-новому взглянуть на романы писателя.

Authors: Yuliza Fresti
Published: December 2024

Artikel ini membahas mengenai pengembangan tari tradisional sebagai bahan dalam pengembangan tari kreasi baru dengan tujuan akhir sebagai atraksi pariwisata budaya. Tujuannya untuk merekomendasikan formula pengembangan tari kreasi dalam dunia pariwisata budaya, yang dewasa ini lazim dinamakan sebagai tari wisata atau pariwisata tari. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan data data utama dari berbagai referensi menggunakan metode studi literatur, yang dibandingkan data temuan lapangan yang didapatkan melalui metode diskusi kelompok terpumpun (FGD). Penelitian berangkat dari teori seni pariwisata RM Soedarsono (1999). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan tari kreasi sebagai atraksi pariwisata dapat dilakukan dengan memperhatikan unsur-unsur koreografi dengan beberapa penyesuaian yang menyesuaikan dengan kebutuhan atraksi pariwisata antara lain berupa gerak, musik, kostum yang relatif lebih ringan jika dibandingkan dengan tari kreasi pada umumnya, apalagi jika dibandingkan dengan unsur-unsur tari tradisional.
Analisis Koreografi Tarian Latar pada Lagu Anak 'Kala dan Rosmani' oleh Penyanyi Amriz Arifin di Sumatera Barat: Tinjauan Deontologi dan Teleologi

Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini membahas perspektif deontologi dan teleologi terhadap koreografi tarian latar dalam lagu anak "Kala" dan "Rosmani" yang dibawakan oleh penyanyi Amriz Arifin di Sumatera Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis dengan pendekatan kualitatif, di mana data yang dikumpulkan baik tertulis maupun lisan dianalisis sesuai dengan permasalahan yang dirumuskan. Teori yang digunakan adalah teori deontologi dan teleologi, serta konsep koreografi dari Y. Sumandyo Hadi dan bentuk tari dari Soedarsono. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa koreografi tarian latar dalam lagu-lagu tersebut tidak selaras dengan makna lagunya dan tidak sesuai dengan norma adat Minangkabau, baik dalam aspek gerak maupun kostum. Kehadiran tarian latar yang tidak sesuai dengan adat ini dikhawatirkan dapat memberikan dampak negatif, baik bagi penari latar, masyarakat, maupun keberlanjutan nilai-nilai adat di Minangkabau

Background

Within the International Health Regulations framework, the French High Council for Public Health was mandated in 2022 by health authorities to establish a list of priority infectious diseases for public health, surveillance and research in mainland and overseas France.

Aim

Our objective was to establish this list.

Methods

A multi-criteria decision analysis was used, as recommended by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. A list of 95 entities (infectious diseases or groups of these, including the World Health Organization (WHO)-labelled ‘Disease X’) was established by 17 infectious disease experts. Ten criteria were defined to score entities: incidence rate, case fatality rate, potential for emergence and spread, impact on the individual, on society, on socially vulnerable groups, on the healthcare system, and need for new preventive tools, new curative therapies, and surveillance. Each criterion was assigned a relative weight by 77 multidisciplinary experts. For each entity, 98 physicians from various specialties rated each criterion against the entity, using a four-class Likert-type scale; the ratings were converted into numeric values with a nonlinear scale and respectively weighted to calculate the entity score.

Results

Fifteen entities were ranked as high-priorities, including Disease X and 14 known pathologies (e.g. haemorrhagic fevers, various respiratory viral infections, arboviral infections, multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, invasive meningococcal and pneumococcal diseases, prion diseases, rabies, and tuberculosis).

Conclusion

The priority entities agreed with those of the WHO in 2023; almost all were currently covered by the French surveillance and alert system. Repeating this analysis periodically would keep the list updated.
Antigenic changes in influenza A(H3N2) driven by genetic evolution: Insights from virological surveillance, EU/EEA, week 40/2023 to week 9/2024
Authors: Broberg Eeva K , Vukovikj Maja , Svartström Olov , Hasibra Iris , Riess Maximilian , Melidou Angeliki ,   Members of the ERLI-Net network
Published: December 2024

Background

During the 2023/24 influenza season in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA), influenza viruses A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and B/Victoria viruses were co-circulating.

Aim

We aimed to describe the circulating influenza viruses by (sub)type, genetic clade, antigenic group and antiviral susceptibility in that season in the EU/EEA.

Methods

We collected surveillance data from EU/EEA countries through weekly submissions to The European Surveillance System (TESSy). Data were submitted in strain-based format for weeks 40/2023 to 9/2024.

Results

Twenty-nine EU/EEA countries reported 154,718 influenza virus detections (primary care sentinel and non-sentinel combined), of which 97% (150,692) were type A and 3% (4,026) were type B. Of the subtyped influenza A viruses, 30,463 (75%) were influenza A(H1)pdm09 and 10,174 (25%) were influenza A(H3). For 809 (20%) of the type B viruses, the lineage was determined; all were B/Victoria/2/87 lineage, and none were B/Yamagata/16/88 lineage. Genetic diversification of seasonal influenza viruses continued, and clade 5a.2a of A(H1N1)pdm09, 2a.3a.1 of A(H3N2) and V1A.3a.2 of B/Victoria-lineage viruses dominated. Of the A(H3N2) 2a.3a.1 viruses, 23% were antigenically distinct from the 2023/24 vaccine virus.

Conclusion

The 2023/24 influenza season was characterised by co-circulation of different influenza (sub)types, antigenically similar to the components recommended for the 2023/24 northern hemisphere vaccine, A/Victoria/4897/2022 (egg-based) and A/Wisconsin/67/2022 (cell culture- or recombinant-based). However, genetic diversification of the viruses continued. The World Health Organization’s vaccine recommendations for the northern hemisphere 2024/25 season were updated to include a new A(H3N2) component, while maintaining the current A(H1N1)pdm09 and B/Victoria components.

An outbreak of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses exhibiting cross-resistance to oseltamivir and peramivir occurred in Yokohama, Japan, in September 2024. Among 24 students in a class, 11 were diagnosed with influenza or influenza-like illness, and viruses harbouring the NA H275Y and HA Q210H substitutions were isolated from four. Deep sequencing analysis confirmed the clonal spread of these mutants. Antigenic analysis revealed differences from the vaccine strain. Continued monitoring is crucial to assess the potential for further spread of these mutant viruses.

Abstract
The EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF Panel) evaluated the safety of the extension of uses of quillaia extract (E 999) as a food additive in food supplements supplied in a solid or liquid form, excluding food supplements for infants and young children. Quillaia extract (E 999) was re‐evaluated in 2019 by the EFSA FAF Panel, which derived an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 3 mg saponins/kg bw per day for E 999, while in 2024 a follow‐up of the re‐evaluation was published by the FAF Panel, recommending some modifications of the existing EU specifications for quillaia extract (E 999). Currently, quillaia extract (E 999) is authorised in two food categories (FCs) i.e. FC 4.1.4 ‘Flavoured drinks’ and FC 14.2.3 ‘Cider and perry’ (excluding cidre bouché, cydr jakościowy, perry jakościowe, cydr lodowy, perry lodowe). A ‘food supplements consumers only’ scenario was calculated for this opinion considering the proposed extension of uses, together with the current authorised uses at both the maximum permitted level (MPLs) and the typical reported use levels of quillaia extract (E 999) at the time of the 2019 re‐evaluation. The Panel concluded that the exposure estimates using the typical reported use levels for the currently authorised food categories and considering the proposed extension of uses for E 999 in FC 17.1 ‘Food supplements supplied in a solid form, excluding food supplement for infants and young children’ and FC 17.2 ‘Food supplements supplied in a liquid form, excluding food supplement for infants and young children’, if authorised, would not result in an exceedance of the ADI in any population group.
