International Water Law in the Mekong River Basin: A Role for Amicus Curiae?
Authors: Vangh Andrew V.
Published: July 2023

The current framework for public participation under the 1995 Agreement on the Cooperation for the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin has no clear statement or mechanism for access to justice. Without access to justice, the public is limited in its ability within the context of the agreement to enforce and verify obligations as well as prevent or remedy adverse impacts related to the development and management of the Mekong River Basin. In the event the parties to the agreement submit differences and disputes to an international court or tribunal, the procedure of amicus curiae can be used to facilitate access to justice. This article explores the background of access to justice in the context of the agreement and how the procedure of amicus curiae may function to facilitate access to justice.

Published: July 2023

Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infl ammatory disease of the endocardium of the heart affecting heart valves (native or prosthetic) and, in the last few decades, also available intracardiac permanent devices or catheters. Despite technological progress and accumulated experience, this disease continues to be a huge challenge for doctors in terms of diagnosis, treatment and improvement of survival. The clinical picture is atypical and heterogeneous, with different clinical "masks" of other diseases – infectious, oncological, hematological, rheumatological, neurological, etc. Embolic complications are often the fi rst manifestation of the disease and are most often cerebral. We present a clinical case of a 29-year-old woman with acute neurological symptoms as a fi rst manifestation of IE. This case refl ects the atypical clinical presentation of the disease, the importance of new imaging modalities for the precise diagnosis of neurological complications, and the decision on the timing of operative intervention when indicated. The question of IE prophylaxis in moderate-risk patients, such as those with mitral valve prolapse and bicuspid aortic valve, remains open.
Guide for Safety, Efficiency, and Productivity in Buying Power Hand Tools
Authors:   EG-1B1 Power Tools - Productivity, Ergonomics and Safety
Published: July 2023

Power tools are essential in most modern industries. However, poorly selected and managed tools can contribute to safety risks, including physical injuries, noise-associated hearing loss, and repetitive motion injuries. Outdated or poorly maintained tools also cost far more to operate than better quality products and often create quality and productivity issues. This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) guides buyers and users of power tools in the evaluation, selection, and use of power tools for economy, efficiency, and safety. It intended to be a “layman’s guide” and supports the application of the SAE Aerospace Standard AS6228, which provides guidance for a scientific and engineering audience focusing upon manufactures and engineering developers.
Reducing Human Driver Error and Setting Realistic Expectations with
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Authors: Chalmers Seth
Published: July 2023

Thousands die or are injured each year in automobile crashes. Reducing the number
of these tragedies requires reframing our approach to vehicle- and human-based
transportation mobility and depends on whether the mobility industry and
individual human drivers take a more aggressive approach to saving lives and
preventing injuries. Bringing automated driving systems technologies into the
advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and connected vehicle space will help
humans drive more safely and better prepare us for automated vehicles (AVs).

Reducing Human Driver Error and Setting Realistic Expectations with
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems discusses the recent Partnership
for Analytics Research in Traffic Safety report which shows that ADAS can indeed
work. The path forward requires combining ADAS and ADS implementation with
infrastructure engineering, law enforcement, education, emergency response, and
public policy, with the goal of reaching zero deaths and serious injuries. It
also requires fully embracing the US Department of Transportation Federal
Highway Administration’s Safe System approach, backed by the addition of public
policies that incorporate and expand ADAS’s role in achieving that safe system.

Portfolio management with ESG news sentiment
Authors: GOUTTE Stéphane , GROSSE Ron , LE Hoang-Viet , LIU Fei , VON METTENHEIM Hans-Jörg
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we introduce a novel news sentiment database and analyze its potential applications in the financial markets via several trading experiments. We analyze the predictability of the news sentiment (both general news and ESG-related news) on the return of European stocks and the potential of applying them as a proper trading strategy over seven years from 2015 to 2023. We find that sentiment indicators such as Tone, and Polarity show significant relationships to the return of the stock price. Those relationships can be exploited, even in the most naive way, to create trading strategies that can be profitable and outperform the market. Furthermore, among the indicators, those extracted from ESG-related news tend to show better performance. This sentiment database is available through a bespoke app at the website https://esg.cafe
Implementation of High Data Rate Digital Transmission Low Power Current Starved Ring VCO Design
Authors: Pal Reena
Published: July 2023

This project aims to construct a radio frequency (1.8GHz) low power PLL using a 0.18-m CMOS technology. Current Starved VCO and Differential Pair VCO evaluations for low electricity and high frequency evaluations, respectively, have been carried out and analyzed. Spice has created and simulated every PLL component in the Tanner EDA in the 0.18-m era. After both designs were simulated in the same environment, two of the most crucial VLSI restrictions—speed (high frequency range) and power intake—were examined. The advantages of the current- starved-based VCO's decreased energy consumption have been compared to the differential VCO's quick speed and locking performance. Keywords: Charge pump, Current Starved VCO, PLL, Phase noise, and VCO.

In vitro pharmaco-equivalence analysis of diclofenac potassium oral film-coated tablet relative to marketed generics
Authors: Ameer Omar Z.
Published: July 2023

Context: Diclofenac potassium, a potent member of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that is commonly used for acute analgesia and multiple inflammatory conditions, has various marketed tablet brands available. However, quality parameters of tablet dosage forms may vary across different brands. Aims: To evaluate critical quality attributes, including in vitro dissolution characteristics of four diclofenac potassium immediate-release (IR) tablet brands (labeled A–D) collected from Saudi Arabia market. Methods: All brands were tested for conformity with the United States Pharmacopoeia, through evaluation of weight variation, hardness, friability, disintegration, and dissolution. Dissolution profiles were compared using model-dependent and-independent approaches relative to the innovator A. Results: Data showed that the samples were compliant in terms of weight variation, hardness and friability. Disintegration time (DT) for brands B and D was below USP specifications whereas that of brand C was higher. Brand B and D had higher dissolution efficiency (DE) and similar mean dissolution time (MDT) compared with innovator. Brand C had lower DE and greater MDT compared with innovator. Weibull model of drug-release kinetics was found to be the best fit for all samples. Conclusions: In summary, brand C, unlike brands B and D, appears to relatively undermine the purpose of a diclofenac IR formulation, given its longer DT, lower DE and slower dissolution release compared with the innovator. These differences are potentially attributable to variations in tablet additives and manufacturing processing across different pharmaceutical industries.

Analysis of Landfalling Rapidly Weakening Tropical Cyclones in the Philippines
Authors: Adelino Joanne Mae , Bagtasa Gerry
Published: July 2023

Rapid weakening (RW) of tropical cyclones (TCs) is defined as the 90th percentile of all 24-h over-water weakening rates in the Western North Pacific (WNP) basin, corresponding to a decrease of at least 20 kt in the JMA dataset and 25 kt in the JTWC dataset. RW tends to occur along the 20 – 30° N latitude of the WNP, which makes the probability of RW TC landfall in the Philippines low. Over the study period from 1951–2020, a total of 468 and 563 WNP RW TCs were recorded, where only 17 and 19 of those made landfall in the country based on the JMA and JTWC datasets, respectively. Analysis of potential wind threats of landfalling RW TCs shows significantly lower hazards than non-RW TCs, except for those that make landfall on northern Luzon. RW occurs more frequently outside of the southwest monsoon or Habagat season. Simulations of two recently landfalling RW TCs – Typhoon (TY) Maysak (2015) and TY Yutu (2018) – using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model show the decrease in the equivalent potential temperature (𝜽e), a measure of the amount of heat and moisture in the atmosphere, in the TC inner core region can be used to diagnose RW. Constantly decreasing 𝜽e values below 400 𝑲 caused by cooler underlying sea surface temperature and/or dry air intrusion lead to TC RW. RW can also occur in low-shear environments. Environmental conditions that result in RW are typically observed from October–April of the following year, which explains the higher occurrence frequency of RW in the inactive TC season of the WNP. While the impacts of RW TCs are lower, over-forecasting a TC in one event can lead to a complacent populace for the next, as well as damage the reputation of forecasters, hence the importance of understanding RW.
IDENTIFICAÇÃO POLÍTICA NEGATIVA

Published: July 2023

São considerados no artigo os resultados de um levantamento, realizado entre o primeiro e o segundo turno das eleições de 2018 no Brasil, com o objetivo de compreender a cultura política de jovens universitários. A análise apresentada está circunscrita às intenções de voto dos estudantes no segundo turno daquelas eleições, bem como às motivações que justificaram suas escolhas entre os candidatos que disputavam o cargo de governador e de presidente da República. Argumenta-se que, especialmente na definição do voto para presidente da República, o contexto político-eleitoral de 2018 contribuiu para que a identificação política negativa, expressão de um processo de não identificação com uma das agendas políticas em disputa, ganhasse uma importância significativa no comportamento eleitoral dos jovens estudantes pesquisados.

Published: July 2023

The journey in the culture of the Ethnic Chinese side brings historical evidence in witnessing their journey. Starting from the architecture, dance, musical instruments, etc. which is passed down from generation to generation. One of them is embedded in the absolute historical testimony of the Chinese Ethnic in Tangerang is contained in the body of the Boen Tek Bio Temple.

Basically, between generations who pass down blood ties do not fully understand the importance of a historical trace in the architecture that was established, especially the Boen Tek Bio Temple as a place of worship for the Chinese. This is what makes an implication in historical traces so that they require them to be able to know and introduce the history in the Boen Tek Bio Temple. This also creates history on the side that is not extinct and always gets re-examination in other research innovations.

Thus, the Boen Tek Bio Temple is used as a cultural heritage of the ancestral heritage of the Chinese in Tangerang. Apart from being a place of worship, the Boen Tek Bio Temple also keeps a historical imprint that needs to be implanted and passed on by word of mouth and between generations. This is what makes the history of the Boen Tek Bio Temple to be well maintained and implemented as a cultural heritage.

Tailoring Interface to Boost the High‐Performance Aqueous Al Ion Batteries
Authors: Tao Renqian , Fu Hongwei , Gao Caitian , Fan Ling , Xie Erqing , Lyu Wang , Zhou Jiang , Lu Bingan
Published: July 2023

Electrolytes are highly important for aqueous Al ion batteries (AAIBs). However, Al metal anode usually has poor reversibility of plating/tripping, resulting in low Coulombic efficiency (CE) and poor cycling stability by using traditional Al ion electrolyte. Herein, a novel type of aqueous Al ion electrolyte with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the primary skeleton for solvated Al ions is proposed, named as PEG‐Al@H. Outstandingly, an Al electrolyte interface (AEI) is generated on the Al metal surface during galvanostatic charging process by polymerization of PEG. It is proved that AEI, acting as the protective layer, effectively mitigates the side reaction caused by the rapid kinetic in aqueous electrolyte and prevents Al metal anode from deeply corroding. Moreover, PEG disrupts the hydrogen bond of the solvent in the electrolyte, extending the working temperature of AAIBs. The design that a full‐cell consisting of PEG‐Al@H as the electrolyte, potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate as the cathode, Al metal as anode can run over 20 000 cycles at 500 mA g−1, with an average CE higher than 95%. More importantly, even at −5 °C, for the first time, an initial capacity of 16 mAh in a pouch‐cell is achieved and maintain roughly 87% of capacity after 5500 cycles.
A Dual‐Functional Perovskite‐Based Photodetector and Memristor for Visual Memory
Authors: Cao Fa , Hu Zijun , Yan Tingting , Hong Enliu , Deng Xiaolei , Wu Limin , Fang Xiaosheng
Published: July 2023

The imitation of human visual memory demands the multifunctional integration of light sensors similar to the eyes, and image memory, similar to the brain. Although humans have already implemented electronic devices with visual memory functions, these devices require a combination of various components and logical circuits. However, the combination of visual perception and high‐performance information storage capabilities into a single device to achieve visual memory remains challenging. In this study, inspired by the function of human visual memory, a dual‐functional perovskite‐based photodetector (PD) and memristor are designed to realize visual perception and memory capacities. As a PD, it realizes an ultrahigh self‐powered responsivity of 276 mA W−1, a high detectivity of 4.7 × 1011 Jones (530 nm; light intensities, 2.34 mW cm−2), and a high rectification ratio of ≈100 (±2 V). As a memristor, an ultrahigh on/off ratio (≈105), an ultralow power consumption of 3 × 10−11 W, a low setting voltage (0.15 V), and a long retention time (>7000 s) are realized. Moreover, the dual‐functional device has the capacity to perceive and remember light paths and store data with good cyclic stability. This device exhibits perceptual and cyclic erasable memory functions, which provides new opportunities for mimicking human visual memory in future multifunctional applications.
Grain Boundary Elimination via Recrystallization‐Assisted Vapor Deposition for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells and Modules

Published: July 2023

Vapor deposition is a promising technology for the mass production of perovskite solar cells. However, the efficiencies of solar cells and modules based on vapor‐deposited perovskites are significantly lower than those fabricated using the solution method. Emerging evidence suggests that large defects are generated during vapor deposition owing to a specific top‐down crystallization mechanism. Herein, a hybrid vapor deposition method combined with solvent‐assisted recrystallization for fabricating high‐quality large‐area perovskite films with low defect densities is presented. It is demonstrated that an intermediate phase can be formed at the grain boundaries, which induces the secondary growth of small grains into large ones. Consequently, perovskite films with substantially reduced grain boundaries and defect densities are fabricated. Results of temperature‐dependent charge‐carrier dynamics show that the proposed method successfully suppresses all recombination reactions. Champion efficiencies of 21.9% for small‐area (0.16 cm2) cells and 19.9% for large‐area (10.0 cm2) solar modules under AM 1.5 G irradiation are achieved. Moreover, the modules exhibit high operational stability, i.e., they retain >92% of their initial efficiencies after 200 h of continuous operation.

Published: July 2023

Coherent control of individual atomic and molecular spins on surfaces has recently been demonstrated by using electron spin resonance (ESR) in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Here, a combined experimental and modeling study of the ESR of a single hydrogenated Ti atom that is exchange‐coupled to a Fe adatom positioned 0.6–0.8 nm away by means of atom manipulation is presented. Continuous wave and pulsed ESR of the Ti spin show a Rabi rate with two contributions, one from the tip and the other from the Fe, whose spin interactions with Ti are modulated by the radio‐frequency electric field. The Fe contribution is comparable to the tip, as revealed by its dominance when the tip is retracted, and tunable using a vector magnetic field. The new ESR scheme allows on‐surface individual spins to be addressed and coherently controlled without the need for magnetic interaction with a tip. This study establishes a feasible implementation of spin‐based multi‐qubit systems on surfaces.
Lexical reduplication in Spanish and Italian
Authors: Urbaniak Ewa
Published: July 2023

The aim of the article is to analyse the
mechanism of lexical reduplication in two Romance languages: Spanish
and Italian. Since the study is based on a constructional approach,
the repetition of a lexical unit within one phrase is considered to form a
construction that presents some specific semantic and pragmatic
meanings. Based on the examples from oral corpora of Spanish and
Italian, the article presents a pragmatic interpretation of
reduplicative constructions. Although Spanish and Italian lexical
reduplications seem to share a range of characteristics, the study also
focuses on meanings and interactive functions that
differentiate these two languages.

Published: July 2023

Purpose

A novel facet of the construction industry's (CI) digital transformation relates to the rise of smart contracts, and the contribution of blockchain technology in this domain appears to be nascent but rapidly gaining traction. Although the benefits of digitalisation for technologically less enthusiastic CI are irrefutable, the adoption of smart contracts has been found to be low pertaining to industry professionals' behavioural factors stimulated by technological perception. The challenge undertook by this study, therefore, is to develop a knowledge framework for blockchain-enabled smart contract adoption in the CI.

Design/methodology/approach

From a methodological perspective, this study employed a qualitative approach that involved semi-structured interviews with ten (10) highly experienced CI practitioners involved in digital innovations for data collection. Directed content analysis was performed using NVivo 12 software, which enabled the creation of preliminary open codes. Subsequently, these open codes were grouped into similar categories to develop axial codes. Finally, the study presented final themes along with their corresponding descriptions.

A catastrophic disaster may cause distant health impacts like immobility and obesity. The aim of this research was to analyse the association of the COVID-19 pandemic and lifestyle factors -exercise habit and overweight status in the Japanese population. Nation-wide online questionnaires were conducted five times from October 2020 to October 2021. The changes in exercise habit, body mass index (BMI) and overweight status (BMI >25kg/m2) were compared between the first questionnaire and a questionnaire conducted a year later. Risk factors for losing exercise habit or becoming overweight were analysed using multiple regression. Data were obtained from 16,642 participants. In the early phase of the pandemic, people with high income and elderly females showed a higher risk for decreased exercise days. The proportion of overweight status increased from 22.2% to 26.6% in males and from 9.3% to 10.8% in females. Middle-aged males, elderly females, and males who experienced SARS-CoV-2 infection were at higher risk of becoming overweight. Our findings suggest that risks for immobility and overweight are homogeneous. Continuous intervention for elderly females and long-term intervention for males infected with SARS-CoV-2 might be especially needed. As most disasters can cause similar social transformation, research and evaluation of immobility and obesity should address future disaster preparation/mitigation plans.

No corredor, estão as pessoas, majoritariamente mulheres, sentadas com fchas vermelhas numeradas nas mãos. Na sala em frente, do Cadastro Único para Programas Sociais - CadÚnico, as estagiárias. Uma delas, Maria, chama: “Ficha vermelha número seis”. Entra uma mulher, cumprimenta a estagiária, senta-se na cadeira posicionada diante da mesa e diz ter vindo atualizar o cadastro do Bolsa Família. A mulher que se coloca diante da estagiária é uma agricultora assentada na região sul do Rio Grande do Sul, mas a cena é comum, nos vários cantos do Brasil. A atualização do cadastro é condição para seguir recebendo o benefício do Bolsa Família, programa de transferência direta de renda que atende a famílias em situação de pobreza e extrema pobreza. A partir de pesquisa etnográfca, este trabalho problematiza o papel dos documentos, atentando para sua ação na vida das bolsistas do Programa Bolsa Família. A pesquisa foi conduzida junto a agentesexecutores do Programa em âmbito municipal e entre mulheres camponesas que vivem em assentamentos rurais no município de Canguçu.
ESPACIALIDADES E SOCIABILIDADES POLÍTICAS KANHGÁG
Authors: Diego Fernandes Dias Severo
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho busca analisar as espacialidades políticas kanhgág no Rio Grande doSul. A partir da pesquisa etnográfca e da etnologia ameríndia, enfatizaremos quatro espaços de constituição da política: a in (Casa), o vãre (acampamento), as ẽmã sĩ (aldeias pequenas) e as ẽmã mág (aldeias grandes). Estes se consolidam a partir do deslocamento de grupos das ẽmã mág para locais onde comercializavam artesanatos e passam a reivindicar um território presente na memória dos kofá (velhos), e, para isso, articulam elementos diacríticos direcionados aos fóg (brancos), acionando elementos que diferenciem as ẽmã sĩ das ẽmã mág. Nesse sentido, o vãre organiza a coesão dos diferentes grupos diante do inimigo comum, os brancos, e se reelabora nas ẽmã sĩ, onde a “exterioridade” dos grupos familiares passa a alimentar a disputa “interna”, que passa a reproduzir, em um território restrito a organização das ẽmã mág. Desse modo, conclui-se que a política kanhgág reproduz a mesma espacialidade nas ẽmã sĩ e nas ẽmã mág, tendo as primeiras experimentado a coesão proporcionada pelo vãre, que exige uma etiqueta cotidiana diversa da presente nas ẽmã mág.

Published: July 2023

Background: Cheese is one of the most popular manufactured dairy product. Cheese has been a part of well balanced diet all over the world. Quarg is milky white in colour, may be even faintly yellowish, body and texture are homogeneously soft, smooth, good spreadable and it is essentially milk protein paste. Quarg cheese appeals to palate of Indian people who don’t like the typical sharp flavour of other varieties of cheeses. Method: Ashwagandha, Turmeric, Betel vine and Tulsi are most common herbs traditionally used in Indian culinary dishes particularly spread. They also have both antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Keeping this fact in view attempts would have been made to explore the flavour and antimicrobial effect of herbs in quarg type cheese. Initially, work was carried out to select the levels of four herbs (Ashwagandha, Turmeric, Betel vine and Tulsi) for the preparation of quarg type cheese and tried in preliminary study. On the basis of sensory evaluation best treatment of each herbs selected for further experiment. The experiments were laid out in completely randomized design for selecting level of addition of herbal in quarg type cheese. Results: In final experimental treatment were as control; 1.1 per cent Ashwagandha ; 0.3 per cent Turmeric ; 2.5 per cent Betel vine ; 1.1 per cent Tulsi in quarg type cheese. The product was evaluated for sensory by five semi-trained panel of judges using quarg cheese score card (total score 100).
Nanotheranostics: The Fabrication of Theranostics with Nanoparticles and their Application to Treat the Neurological Disorders
Authors: Singh Astha , Patel Aakriti , Chaudhary Hema , Yadav Kiran , Minocha Neha
Published: July 2023

Background:

Theranostics is a method that focuses on providing patient-centred care and is
evolving as a targeted, safe, and effective pharmacotherapy. Nanotheranostics combines diagnosis and
therapeutic modalities that bridge traditional treatment and personalised medicine. Theranostics provides
novel ideas for nanotechnology. This review describes the current state of nanotechnology-based
therapies used to treat neurological illnesses. Some patents on theranostics are also discussed in this review.

Objective:

This study aims to provide a more comprehensive review of the diagnosis and therapeutic
properties of nanotheranostics, the present state of nanotechnology-based treatment of neurological disorders,
and the future potential of theranostics.

Methods:

The phrase "theranostics" refers to a treatment strategy that integrates therapeutics and diagnostics
to monitor treatment response and enhance drug efficacy and safety. Theranostics is a crucial
component of personalised medicine and calls for significant advancements in predictive medicine. The
term "theranostics" refers to a diagnosis that screens patients for potential adverse drug reactions and
targets drug delivery depending on the test results. Theranostics treats neurological disorders (like brain
tumours (glioma), Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and neurovascular diseases). Many review
articles on Google Scholar, PubMed, Google Patents, and Scopus were used to gather information for
this review. Data acquired from many sources was compiled in this review to provide more information
on theranostics.

Results:

The role of various nanocarrier systems as theranostic agents for neurological illnesses and the
fabrication of nanomaterials for theranostics are discussed in this article after evaluating a substantial
number of review articles.

Conclusion:

The distinctive intrinsic features of nanoparticles make them useful for functionalization
and imaging. Theranostics in nuclear medicine include diagnostic imaging and therapy using the same
molecule that is radiolabeled differently or the same medication at various doses. It is possible to determine
if a patient will benefit from a given treatment by visualising potential targets. Targeted nuclear
therapy has been shown to be beneficial in patients if chosen carefully and has a good safety profile.

Graph mining techniques have received a lot of attention to discover important subgraphs based on certain criteria. These techniques have become increasingly important due to the growing number of applications that rely on graph-based data. Some examples are: (i) microarray data analysis in bioinformatics, (ii) transportation network analysis, (iii) social network analysis. In this study, we propose a graph decomposition algorithm using the non-dominance criterion to identify important subgraphs based on two characteristics: edge connectivity and diameter. The proposed method uses a multi-objective optimization approach to maximize the edge connectivity and minimize the diameter. In a similar vein, identifying communities within a network can improve our comprehension of the network's characteristics and properties. Therefore, the detection of community structures in networks has been extensively studied. As a result, in this paper an innovative community detection method is presented based on our approach. The performance of the proposed technique is examined on both real-life and synthetically generated data sets.
