Neural-network-based hardware trojan attack prediction and security defense mechanism in optical networks-on-chip
Authors: He Xiangyu , Guo Pengxing , Zhou Jiahao , Li Jingsi , Zhang Fan , Hou Weigang , Guo Lei
Published: July 2024

Optical networks-on-chip (ONoCs) have emerged as a compelling platform for many-core systems owing to their notable attributes, including high bandwidth, low latency, and energy efficiency. Nonetheless, the integration of microring resonators (MRs) in ONoCs exposes them to vulnerabilities associated with hardware trojans (HTs). In response, we propose an innovative strategy that combines deep-learning-based HT attack prediction with a robust security defense mechanism to fortify the resilience of ONoCs. For HT attack prediction, we employ a multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs long short-term memory neural network model. This model serves to identify susceptible MRs by forecasting alterations in traffic patterns and detecting internal faults within optical routing nodes. On the defensive front, we introduce a fine-grained defense mechanism based on MR faults. This mechanism effectively thwarts HTs during the optical routing process, thereby optimizing node utilization in ONoCs while concurrently upholding security and reliability. Simulation outcomes underscore the efficacy of the proposed HT attack prediction mechanism, demonstrating high accuracy with a loss rate of less than 0.7%. The measured mean absolute error and root mean squared error stand at 0.045 and 0.07, respectively. Furthermore, when compared to conventional coarse-grained node-based defense algorithms, our solution achieves noteworthy reductions of up to 16.2%, 43.72%, and 44.86% in packet loss rate, insertion loss, and crosstalk noise, respectively.
Selection of OAM signal constellations for atmospheric channels using optimal transport theory
Authors: Anguita Jaime , Cisternas Jaime
Published: July 2024

We describe a method for determining optimal selections of orbital angular momentum (OAM) superpositions for OAM signal modulation in free-space optical communications using a measure of distance in the context of the Optimal Transport theory. Within the range of topological charges $\ell=-20$ to $\ell=20$ we design OAM constellations using 16 to 128 symbols consisting of solos, duets, trios, and quartets of OAM modes. We propose a classification strategy requiring relatively low complexity to evaluate the performance of these constellations, achieving a classification error smaller than 1/1000 in weak to strong turbulence conditions for the 16-OAM constellation. We have found that the optimal set shows some dependence on the receiver's architecture, so we offer results for optical detectors based on the conjugate projection, the mode sorter, and the Shack-Hartmann sensor.
A low-dimensional approximation of optimal confidence
Authors: Le Denmat Pierre , Verguts Tom , Desender Kobe
Published: July 2024

Human decision making is accompanied by a sense of confidence. According to Bayesian decision theory, confidence reflects the learned probability of making a correct response, given available data (e.g., accumulated stimulus evidence and response time). Although optimal, independently learning these probabilities for all possible data combinations is computationally intractable. Here, we describe a novel model of confidence implementing a low-dimensional approximation of this optimal yet intractable solution. This model allows efficient estimation of confidence, while at the same time accounting for idiosyncrasies, different kinds of biases and deviation from the optimal probability correct. Our model dissociates confidence biases resulting from the estimate of the reliability of evidence by individuals (captured by parameter α), from confidence biases resulting from general stimulus independent under and overconfidence (captured by parameter β). We provide empirical evidence that this model accurately fits both choice data (accuracy, response time) and trial-by-trial confidence ratings simultaneously. Finally, we test and empirically validate two novel predictions of the model, namely that 1) changes in confidence can be independent of performance and 2) selectively manipulating each parameter of our model leads to distinct patterns of confidence judgments. As a tractable and flexible account of the computation of confidence, our model offers a clear framework to interpret and further resolve different forms of confidence biases.
The use of carinated items in the Levantine Aurignacian—Insights from layer D, Hayonim Cave, W. Galilee, Israel
Authors: Parow-Souchon Hannah , Belfer-Cohen Anna
Published: July 2024

A longstanding debate concerns the function of carinated elements in both, the Levantine, and European Aurignacian. The present study aims to contribute to this topic with the evaluation of the carinated assemblage from layer D in Hayonim Cave, Western Galilee, Israel, one of the type sites of the Levantine Aurignacian. An operational chain reconstruction with an attribute analysis is paired with a typological approach to the preparation and maintenance products based on artefacts defined as West European Aurignacian. The results of this study are investigated with multivariate statistics offering a methodological contribution. The data is subjected to a transformation into a distance matrix using the Gower distance and tested with the adonis-algorithm for significance. The results clearly indicate that the carinated items in Hayonim Cave did fully or partially function as cores. They are accompanied by diagnostic preparation- and- maintenance products known from the literature e.g. Thèmes bladelets. The statistical analysis indicates only a minor correlation with stratigraphy yet supports the techno-typological criteria applied for defining artefact categories (cores, debitage, tools), as well as the proposed differentiation of carinated ‘core’ types. The non-carinated cores in Hayonim Cave are characterised by a high variability in typology and reduction concepts. A curious similarity to the Levallois-concept is observed on some of the flake cores. It is therefore suggested that the frequent recycling of Middle Palaeolithic artefacts in the Levantine Aurignacian might have given the Aurignacian flint-knappers the opportunity to study the Levallois concept and apply an approximation of it in their own core reduction strategies. The notion that Palaeolithic flint-knappers actively observed former technological systems through the discarded artefacts directly opens up a new trajectory for the understanding of lithic reduction concept permanence. The conceptual diversification and variability in Hayonim Cave D indicate a highly dynamic period in the Levantine Upper Palaeolithic which increased the adaptive potential and promoted a rapid cultural change.
Method for isolation of high molecular weight genomic DNA from Botryococcus biomass
Authors: Cornejo-Corona Ivette , Boland Devon J. , Devarenne Timothy P.
Published: July 2024

The development of high molecular weight (HMW) genomic DNA (gDNA) extraction protocols for non-model species is essential to fully exploit long-read sequencing technologies in order to generate genome assemblies that can help answer complex questions about these organisms. Obtaining enough high-quality HMW gDNA can be challenging for these species, especially for tissues rich in polysaccharides such as biomass from species within the Botryococcus genus. The existing protocols based on column-based DNA extraction and biochemical lysis kits can be inefficient and may not be useful due to variations in biomass polysaccharide content. We developed an optimized protocol for the efficient extraction of HMW gDNA from Botryococcus biomass for use in long-read sequencing technologies. The protocol utilized an initial wash step with sorbitol to remove polysaccharides and yielded HMW gDNA concentrations up to 220 ng/μL with high purity. We then demonstrated the suitability of the HMW gDNA isolated from this protocol for long-read sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore PromethION platform for three Botryococcus species. Our protocol can be used as a standard for efficient HMW gDNA extraction in microalgae rich in polysaccharides and may be adapted for other challenging species.
The impact of digital inclusive finance on environmental pollution: A case study of air pollution
Authors: Wang Zexing , Fan Min , Fan Yaojun
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the impact of digital inclusive finance on environmental pollution, with a specific focus on air pollution. Utilizing data from 265 Chinese cities, advanced econometric methods such as the bi-directional fixed effects model, threshold model, spatial Durbin model, and multi-period difference-in-differences model are employed, incorporating a variety of control variables. The empirical findings indicate that digital inclusive finance significantly reduces air pollution. This mechanism chiefly operates through enhancing public environmental consciousness and fostering green technological innovation. The study also uncovers the spatial spillover effect and non-linear characteristics of digital inclusive finance on air pollution, along with its interactive effects with specific policies (e.g., smart city pilot policies and the “major protection, no major development" initiative). Moreover, heterogeneity analysis reveals regional variations in the environmental effects of digital inclusive finance. These insights provide a novel perspective on the relationship between financial technology and environmental protection and offer crucial guidance for policymaking.

Authors: Rtbey Gidey , Mihertabe Milen , Andualem Fantahun , Melkam Mamaru , Takelle Girmaw Medfu , Tinsae Techilo , Fentahun Setegn
Published: July 2024

Background

Individuals diagnosed with chronic medical conditions and patients appointed to undergo surgery face various degrees of anxiety as a result of doubts related to the outcome of surgery, and the psycho-socioeconomic costs of the medical illness. This can affect the treatment process and even the outcome of patients with medical and surgical cases. Though different studies were conducted on anxiety and associated factors among medical and surgical patients in Ethiopia, the findings were found to be inconsistent and had a wide discrepancy. So, this systematic review and meta-analysis estimated the pooled effect size of anxiety among this population and guides to plan appropriate intervention at a national level.

Methods

Studies conducted on anxiety and associated factors among medical and surgical patients in Ethiopia were included. Data was extracted using Microsoft Excel and analyzed using STATA version 11. The random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled effect size of anxiety and its determinants with 95% confidence intervals. Funnel plots and Egger’s regression tests were employed to check publication bias. Sub-group and sensitivity analyses were also conducted.

Results

The pooled prevalence of anxiety among medical and surgical patients in Ethiopia was found to be 48.82% with a 95% CI (42.66, 54.99). Being female[OR = 2.84(2.02, 4.01)], fear of death [OR = 2.93(1.57, 5.50)], and history of surgery[OR = 0.42(0.27, 0.065)], among surgical patients and being female[OR = 2.35(1.94, 2.850], having poor social support[OR = 2.22(1.62, 3.05)], perceived stigma[OR = 4.25(1.97, 9.18)] and family history of mental illness[OR = 1.86(1.21, 2.86)] among medical patients were significantly associated with anxiety in this systematic review and meta-analysis.

Conclusion and recommendation

The pooled prevalence of anxiety among medical and surgical patients in Ethiopia was found to be high. Therefore, it would be good for professionals to screen patients for anxiety besides managing their medical or surgical cases to detect them early and address them.
Changes in online public opinions associated with various three-child supportive policies in China: Observational study using social media data over time
Authors: Peng Lijuan , Chen Tinggui , Yang Jianjun , Cong Guodong
Published: July 2024

Background

According to the Seventh National Census, China’s fertility rate is less than 1.5, marking a significant national issue with potential risks. To counter this low birth rate, the Chinese government has relaxed family planning policies and introduced supportive measures.

Purpose

Changes in birth policy have attracted considerable attention from the people of China. This article aims to study the public’s response to the three-child support policy using Weibo as a window. The goal is to provide a more balanced evaluation of current perspectives, enabling policymakers to formulate better fertility information, particularly when anticipating a poor public response to controversial policies.

Methodology

This research uses a crawler to gather data from Sina Weibo. Through opinion mining of Weibo posts on the three-child policy, Weibo users’ online opinions on the three-child policy are analyzed from two perspectives: their attention content and sentiment tendency. Using an interrupted time series, it examines changes in online views on the policy, matching policy documents to the time nodes of Weibo posts.

Findings

The public has shown great interest in and provided short-term positive feedback on policies related to improving maternity insurance, birth rewards, and housing subsidies. In contrast, there has been a continuous negative response to policies such as extending maternity leave, which has particularly sparked concerns among women regarding future employment and marital rights protection. On social media, the public’s attention to the three-child birth policy has focused mainly on the protection of women’s rights, especially legal rights after childbirth, and issues related to physical and mental health. Child-rearing support and economic pressure are also hot topics, involving the daily expenses of multichild families, childcare services, and housing pressure. However, this study also revealed that infertile or single women express a strong desire to have children, but due to limitations in the personal medical insurance system, this desire has not been fully satisfied.

Contributions

Our study demonstrates the feasibility of a rapid and flexible method for evaluating the public response to various three-child supportive policies in China using near real-time social media data. This information can help policy makers anticipate public responses to future pandemic three-child policies and ensure that adequate resources are dedicated to addressing increases in negative sentiment and levels of disagreement in the face of scientifically informed but controversial, restrictions.
Frequency and behavior of Melipona stingless bees and orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in relation to floral characteristics of vanilla in the Yucatán region of Mexico
Authors: Quezada-Euán José Javier G. , Guerrero-Herrera Roger O. , González-Ramírez Raymundo M. , MacFarlane David W.
Published: July 2024

Vanilla planifolia is native to the Mexican tropics. Despite its worldwide economic importance as a source of vanilla for flavoring and other uses, almost all vanilla is produced by expensive hand-pollination, and minimal documentation exists for its natural pollination and floral visitors. There is a claim that vanilla is pollinated by Melipona stingless bees, but vanilla is more likely pollinated by orchid bees. Natural pollination has not been tested in the Yucatán region of Mexico, where both vanilla and potential native bee pollinators are endemic. We document for the first time the flowering process, nectar production and natural pollination of V. planiflora, using bagged flower experiments in a commercial planting. We also assessed the frequency and visitation rates of stingless bees and orchid bees on flowers. Our results showed low natural pollination rates of V. planifolia (~ 5%). Only small stingless bees (Trigona fulviventris and Nannotrigona perilampoides) were seen on flowers, but no legitimate visits were witnessed. We verified that there were abundant Euglossa and fewer Eulaema male orchid bees around the vanilla plants, but neither visited the flowers. The introduction of a colony of the stingless bee Melipona beecheii and the application of chemical lures to attract orchid bees failed to induce floral visitations. Melipona beecheii, and male orchid bees of Euglossa viridissima and E. dilemma may not be natural pollinators of vanilla, due to lack of attraction to flowers. It seems that the lack of nectar in V. planifolia flowers reduces the spectrum of potential pollinators. In addition, there may be a mismatch between the attractiveness of vanilla floral fragrances to the species of orchid bees registered in the studied area. Chemical studies with controlled experiments in different regions would be important to further elucidate the potential pollinators of vanilla in southern Mexico.

Published: July 2024

Background

Recently, there have been conflicting results reporting an increased risk of AR or MR associated with oral fluoroquinolones (FQs).This study investigated whether the use of FQs increases the risk of mitral regurgitation (MR) or aortic regurgitation (AR).

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted by using the Taiwan National Health Insurance research database. A unidirectional case-crossover design without selecting controls from an external population was adopted in this study. A total of 26,650 adult patients with new onset of AR or MR between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2012, were identified. The risk of outcomes was compared between the hazard period and one of the randomly selected referent periods of the same individuals.

Results

Before exclusion of pneumonia diagnosed within 2 months before the index date, patients who took FQs had a significantly greater risk of AR or MR (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.30–1.77), any AR (combined AR and MR) (aOR 1.50, 95% CI 1.10–2.04), and any MR (combined AR and MR) (aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.16–1.62). After exclusion of pneumonia, FQs exposure remained significantly associated with a greater risk of MR (aOR 1.38, 95% CI 1.17–1.62) and any MR (aOR 1.25, 95% CI 1.05–1.48).

Conclusions

The findings suggested that patients treated with FQs could be warned about the potential risk for MR even after considering the possibility of protopathic bias. Reducing unnecessary FQs prescriptions may be considered to reduce the risk of valvular heart disease.
Reduced approach disposition in familial risk for depression: Evidence from time-frequency alpha asymmetries
Authors: Dell’Acqua Carola , Moretta Tania , Messerotti Benvenuti Simone
Published: July 2024

Despite the promising role of alpha and delta power in reflecting reduced approach disposition in depression, to date, it is unclear whether these measures can be employed to identify at-risk individuals. Hence, the present study investigated affective disposition in 32 unaffected individuals with a family history of depression (23 F) and 30 individuals without a family history of depression (21 F) through a data-driven analysis of alpha and delta time-frequency power during the viewing of pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant pictures. Different patterns of posterior alpha asymmetry emerged within each group. Particularly, controls showed greater right posterior alpha desynchronization ~ 600 ms following emotional relative to neutral pictures presentation. Conversely, the group with a family history of depression showed greater posterior left alpha desynchronization only to unpleasant relative to neutral images in a later time window (> 900 ms). Hence, depression vulnerability seems to be characterized by a blunted reactivity to pleasant and delayed reactivity to unpleasant stimuli with a distinct posterior distribution relative to the controls. Finally, the two groups showed a comparable pattern of greater delta power to emotional relative to neutral cues. Overall, initial support was provided for the employment of time-frequency alpha power changes during affective processing in identifying blunted approach disposition in unaffected at-risk individuals.
The problem of unconscious and unidentified patients in emergency department admissions; a 3-year retrospective study
Authors: Acar Demet , Tekin Fatih Cemal
Published: July 2024

Unidentified patients present a medical information dilemma for all medical departments but can be a major problem in Emergency Departments (EDs). This study aimed to determine the clinical and socio-demographic profile of ’unidentified’ patients admitted to the ED with altered consciousness and to define the outcomes of these patients. All ED presentations were analyzed retrospectively for the unidentified patients brought to the hospital by ambulance with altered consciousness. We assessed demographic data, clinical presentation, discharge information, and major clinical outcomes. In this study, 1324 unidentified patients were admitted with altered consciousness to the ED. Of these, 1048 (80.1%) were foreign nationals. In this patient group, the most common diagnoses were; traffic accidents, assault or sharp object injuries, drug addicts, or syncope-epilepsy. In addition, the number of patients who left the hospital without permission or escaped and therefore could not be diagnosed was higher in the foreign nationalities group and constituted approximately one-fifth of the patients (18.9% vs. 5.4%, p:0.001). Of the unidentified patients, 903 (68.2%) were discharged after treatment. 351 (26.5%) patients left the ED unattended. 32 (2.4%) patients were hospitalized. 38 (2.9%) patients died in ED. The majority of the unidentified patients admitted to the ED with altered consciousness were immigrant males. Unidentified patients are a high-need population, most commonly presenting with substance misuse or trauma. Although most of the patients were seeking urgent treatment, more than one-fourth of the patients left the hospital without appropriate treatment and most of these patients were also immigrants. We believe that economic, linguistic, and social disadvantages played an important role in this outcome.

Published: July 2024

Introduction

Pneumatic tourniquets (PTs) play a crucial role in hemostasis during orthopedic surgery. This study aimed to investigate the current knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of orthopedic operating room personnel concerning the use of PTs.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted from Jul. 2023 to Aug. 2023. An online questionnaire was used to collect demographic information and KAP score data of the orthopedic operating room personnel from Hangzhou Regional Hospitals.

Results

A total of 336 participants included orthopedic physicians (37.8%), orthopedic nurses (31.5%), anesthesiologists (8.9%), operating room nurses (19.9%) and medical students (1.8%). The median knowledge score was 28.5 (24, 32), with a maximum score of 38; the median attitude score was 31 (28, 35), of a maximum of 35; the median practice score was 41 (36, 44), of a maximum of 45. Correlation analysis showed links between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.388, p<0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.401, p<0.001), and attitude and practice (r = 0.485, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that female gender (OR = 0.294, 95% CI: 0.167–0.520; p<0.001), working in a specialized hospital (OR = 0.420, 95% CI: 0.219–0.803; p = 0.009), and occupation as a surgical anesthesiologist (OR = 3.358, 95% CI: 1.466–7.694; p = 0.004) were associated with better knowledge scores. A higher educational degree (OR = 0.237, 95% CI: 0.093–0.608; p = 0.003) was associated with better practice scores. No previous training was associated with lower knowledge (OR = 0.312, 95% CI: 0.187–0.520; p<0.001) and practice (OR = 0.325, 95% CI: 0.203–0.521; p<0.001) scores.

Conclusion

Orthopedic personnel in this study had acceptable knowledge, attitude, and practice concerning the use of PTs; additional training and guidance might enhance proficiency.
Outcome assessment of different reward stimuli in Internet gaming disorder by event-related potentials
Authors: Zhang Mengyue , Zhao Chenyue , Mao Ziyu , Zhang Meng , Xing Xiaoli
Published: July 2024

An imbalance in sensitivity to different types of reward stimuli may be an important cause of addiction that is mainly manifested in high sensitivity to addictive substance rewards and blunting of natural rewards. However, contradictions remain in the research results on the sensitivity of individuals with Internet gaming disorder (IGD) to different reward stimuli. Based on participants’ neural responses to win and loss feedback (in door task), the event-related potential (ERP) technique was used to investigate the effects of different types of reward stimuli on the assessment of reward-processing outcomes in individuals with IGD. The results showed that in the gain condition, the FB-P3 amplitude induced by game stimuli in the IGD group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the FN amplitude induced by money stimuli was significantly lower than that in the control group. However, the FB-P3 and FN amplitudes induced by food were not significantly different from those in the control group. In the loss condition, there were no between-group differences in the FB-P3 and FN amplitudes evoked by the three reward stimuli. This indicates that the IGD group showed increased hedonic responses to game stimuli and decreased hedonic responses to money but no differences in hedonic responses to food during the reward assessment phase. Therefore, heightened sensitivity to game rewards and diminished sensitivity to monetary rewards during outcome assessment may play a crucial role in the development of IGD.

Published: July 2024

Numerous industrial applications depend heavily on induction motors and their malfunction causes considerable financial losses. Induction motors in industrial processes have recently expanded dramatically in size, and complexity of defect identification and diagnostics for such systems has increased as well. As a result, research has concentrated on developing novel methods for the quick and accurate identification of induction motor problems.In response to these needs, this paper provides an optimised algorithm for analysing the performance of an induction motor. To analyse the operation of induction motors, an enhanced methodology on Deep Belief Networks (DBN) is introduced for recovering properties from the sensor identified vibration signals. Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) is stacked utilizing multiple units of DBN model, which is then trained adopting Ant colony algorithm.An innovative method of feature extraction for autonomous fault analysis in manufacturing is provided by experimental investigations utilising vibration signals and overall accuracy of 99.8% is obtained, which therefore confirms the efficiency of DBN architecture for features extraction.

Published: July 2024

The sustainable utilisation of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) holds significant promise for livelihood improvement within forest fringe communities in Ghana. While local communities benefit from NTFPs, there is limited understanding of the locals' perceptions with regard to the potential of NTFPs to alleviate poverty. This research evaluated the intricate interplay of local perceptions with regard to climate change, value addition and the multiple uses of NTFPs, and their influence on livelihood improvement. The study employed a multidimensional approach, incorporating quantitative, qualitative and systematic review methodologies. Surveys and interviews were conducted to gather data on the perceptions of local communities of climate change, value addition to NTFPs and the multiple uses of NTFPs, as well as social factors that influence their perception. In addition, a systematic review using the PRISMA method was used to assess the potential of NTFPs to alleviate poverty. The findings underscored the significance of education, religion and gender, which are pivotal in shaping local perceptions of NTFPs and their potential to improve livelihoods. The systematic review showed the potential of NTFPs to alleviate poverty in Ghana and in other parts of the world. Initiatives that enhance market accessibility and create value-addition opportunities should be considered to uplift communities economically. Furthermore, policy frameworks and institutional support can emerge as essential elements in shaping local perceptions. In conclusion, this research elucidated the vital role of local perceptions for the sustainable utilisation of NTFPs to improve livelihoods within Ghana's forest fringe communities.

This paper aims to examine the cascading impact of current conditions on the freedoms of expression and religious belief within Indonesia's online sphere, particularly amidst a rising trend of religious blasphemy cases. The dynamic nature of social interactions and discussions in cyberspace has fostered diverse interpretations influenced by subjective understandings of religion, often resulting in disputes of religious blasphemy. Employing a qualitative research method, the study analyses pertinent literary sources to provide insights into the practice of blasphemy laws and their detrimental effects on the freedoms of religion and expression. Indonesia, as a signatory of ICCPR and the Rabat Plan of Action, upholds constitutional guarantees of these freedoms. However, the current application of blasphemy regulations needs reform to better safeguard the rights of its citizens. By targeting laws that prohibit incitement to religious hatred, the legal framework can more effectively fulfill its primary objective of protecting people from discrimination and ensuring their dignity. This research underscores the urgency for Indonesia to recalibrate its approach to blasphemy laws, aligning them with international human rights standards. So that Indonesia can enhance its commitment to protecting freedom of expression and religious belief, fostering a more inclusive and rights-respecting environment for its diverse population.

Authors: Budiyono Budiyono , Lirëza Linert
Published: July 2024

This research investigates the multifaceted nature of criminal punishment, considering its purposes such as deterrence, retribution, rehabilitation, and the maintenance of societal order. Specifically focusing on Article 78, paragraph 15 of forestry law, which delineates penal sanctions, the study explores the application of confiscatory penalties in cases of forestry offenses, particularly illegal logging. The research centers on the practices of the Kebumen District Court in enforcing sanctions against illicit logging, examining the discretionary powers exercised by judges. Despite the existence of the 2005 Judicial and Court Management Technical Instructions governing evidence seizure in illegal logging cases which constrain judicial authority in sentencing. Adopting a non doctrinal research through interview to the judges and literature research as data collection. Those data are analysed qualitatively. the study reveals intricate challenges in penalty enforcement at the Kebumen District Court, encompassing imprisonment, fines, and the confiscation of forest products. Notably, disagreements among judges regarding adherence to Supreme Court guidelines highlight the complexities of balancing judicial autonomy with technical directives. The findings underscore the need for clarifying legal frameworks and enhancing judicial training to harmonize the application of penalties in forestry crime cases, thereby ensuring consistency and fairness in sentencing practices.

The present investigation was undertaken to develop a variety of jackfruit. Hence, the research was conducted on the bearing trees of different jackfruit genotypes in the Pudukkottai District of Tamil Nadu, India, during the year 2016-2019. Fifty-five jackfruit genotypes, viz., KDM-AhJ-01 to KDM-AhJ-55, were selected for the study to identify superior ones. The season of fruiting in each genotype was recorded and classified into early (March-April), mid-season (May-June), and late (July-August). The genotype 46 was found to be mid-season bearing (May-June, 2016-2019). Meanwhile, KDM-AhJ -08, KDM-AhJ -10, and KDM-AhJ -35 were found to have late season bearing (July to August 2016-2019). The genotypes KDM-AhJ 31 and KDM-AhJ 32 were produced during the main season (March-April, 2016-2019) and also during the off-season (September -November 2016-2019) production of jackfruit. The highest number of fruits per plant (43.33.00) was obtained from 08, followed by 31 (33.33). Maximum individual fruit weight was gained from 46 (16.33 kg) followed by 10 (14.33 kg), and a minimum of (4.67 kg) was observed that genotype 08 was suitable for small families. Yield varied from 62.67 kg/tree to 458.33. Yield was recorded from 10. The highest number of flakes per fruit was obtained from 10 (210.00). The highest Flakes: Seed ratio was obtained from 10 (5.30). Upper limit TSS content recorded to 08 (29.17° brix). The highest total sugar (25.20%), highest protein, lowest acidity (0.10%), and lowest ascorbic acid content were found to be 8. Maximum carotene content was recorded on KDM-AhJ- 46, followed by 8 and 10. Maximum color and appearance of 9.00 were obtained from the genotypes KDM-AhJ- 10. A maximum overall acceptability of 9.75 was observed by genotype 08, followed by 10 (9.00). Genotype 51, recorded for the TSS content of (6° brix) followed by the genotypes viz.,6, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, and 26 (7° brix), was found to have low TSS content, hence it is suitable for diabetic patients. Genotype 37 was identified for vegetable purposes in the immature stage, and ripened fruits were more suitable for table purposes. KDM-AhJ- 31 and 39 identified for thousand fruited jackfruit genotype. Flake color varied from white, yellow, whitish yellow, light yellow, bright yellow, and senthuram/deep orange. The genotypes KDM-AhJ-01, 4, 7, and 10 showed good deep orange (Senthuram color) flakes. Genotype 45 recorded pure white flakes that were very sweet in taste. The owner of this jackfruit farmer, S.Karthick, said this is for Seeni pala. Genotypes 17, 18, and 19 were identified for Tharaipala. The shelf life of flakes varied distinctly among the fifty-five jackfruit germplasms. The genotypes KDM-AhJ -08 and KDM-Ah -10 record for five days. Among the 55 genotypes, diversity was recorded for every genotype. Based on overall performance concerning vegetative growth, yield, and quality, characters were recorded to identify the superior genotypes.

The leading cause of death in people living with HIV (PLWH) is cardiovascular disease, and the high prevalence of tobacco cigarette (TC) smoking is a major contributor. Switching to electronic cigarettes (ECs) has been promoted as a harm reduction strategy. We sought to determine if acute EC compared to TC smoking had less harmful effects on arrhythmogenic risk factors including acute changes in hemodynamics, heart rate variability (HRV), and ventricular repolarization (VR). In PLWH who smoke, changes in hemodynamics, HRV, and VR were compared pre/post acutely using an EC, TC, or puffing on an empty straw on different days in random order, in a crossover study. Thirty‐seven PLWH (36 males, mean age 40.5 ± 9.1 years) participated. Plasma nicotine was greater after TC versus EC use (10.12 ± 0.96 vs. 6.18 ± 0.99 ng/mL, respectively, p = 0.004). HR increased significantly, and similarly, after acute EC and TC smoking compared to control. Changes in HRV that confer increased cardiac risk (LF/HF ratio) were significantly smaller after acute EC versus TC use, consistent with a harm reduction effect. In a post‐hoc analysis of PLWH with and without positive concurrent recreational drug use as indicated by point of care urine toxicology testing, this differential effect was only seen in PLWH not currently using recreational drugs. Changes in VR were not different among the three exposures. In PLWH who smoke, EC compared to TC smoking resulted in smaller adverse changes in HRV. This differential effect was accompanied by a smaller increase in plasma nicotine, and was negated by concurrent recreational drug use. Additional studies are warranted in this vulnerable population disproportionately affected by tobacco‐related health disparities.

Published: July 2024

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in many human diseases. However, their role in the development of severe sepsis, a condition that remains one of the main causes of death in intensive care units, has not yet been defined. In this study, we interrogated the molecular mechanisms of circRNAs in severe sepsis. We profiled the expression levels of 5,680 circRNAs in plasma extracted from blood samples of 9 severe sepsis cases or 9 controls (male, age 78 ± 7) using the Human circRNA Array. To enrich protein-coding genes hosting severe sepsis-related circRNAs, we conducted gene ontology and pathways analyses. Out of the identified 760 differentially expressed circRNAs, 404 were upregulated while 356 were downregulated (fold change [FC] ≥2 or ≤−2, and false discovery ratio <0.05). Circ-0008285 (located in exons of CDYL), showed significant upregulation in severe sepsis with an FC of 13.7, and Bonferroni-corrected P < 0.05/5. In silico analysis identified Circ-0008285 interacting microRNAs as well as protein-coding genes. We systematically investigated the differential expression pattern of circRNAs in severe sepsis. The circRNAs we identified might serve as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis.
Forschung und Kampagne? Zu einigen Beiträgen im ‚Hohenzollern-Streit‘ aus jüngster Zeit
Authors: Neugebauer Wolfgang
Published: July 2024

Politische Interessen dominieren den lauten Hohenzollern-Streit der letzten Jahre. Dabei wird gezielt und doch zu Unrecht das öffentlichkeitswirksame Bild vermittelt, mit der Behandlung der politischen Rolle des Kronprinzen in der Zeit um 1933 werde ein ‚blinder Fleck‘ der Geschichte nun endlich aufgehellt.

Tatsächlich hat die internationale Forschung die Haltung des Hohenzollern schon seit Jahrzehnten erkannt und das Thema nicht nur sehr gründlich untersucht, sondern dabei sogar längst Erkenntnisse und Quellen des Nürnberger Tribunals aufgesucht und sorgfältig präsentiert. Der derzeit lancierte Eindruck des Sensationell-Neuen folgt eigenen, auf die aktuelle politische Konjunktur verweisenden Motiven.

Der Aufsatz ist aber der jüngst erhobenen Forderung bewusst verpflichtet, neue Quellen in die wissenschaftliche Diskussion einzubringen. Dies hat zur Folge, dass gegen beide beteiligten Parteien kritische Fragen und Einwände vorgebracht werden. Die Nationalsozialisten sahen im preußischen Kronprinzen nicht einen der ihren.
Jüdische Kollaboration? Wie aus Holocaust-Überlebenden in Nachkriegsdeutschland NS-Täter wurden
Authors: Dinkelaker Philipp
Published: July 2024

In diesem verschriftlichten Vortrag zur Verleihung des HiKo_21-Nachwuchspreises 2022 stellt der Autor Quellen und Kernfragen seiner Dissertation vor. Diese basiert auf Fallstudien von antisemitisch Verfolgten, denen vor und nach 1945 Zusammenarbeit mit der Gestapo in Berlin vorgeworfen wurde. Er rekonstruiert diese Vorwürfe antisemitismus-kritisch und untersucht, wie sie sich von der NS-Zeit bis in die 1960er-Jahre veränderten. Die Arbeit schlägt eine Brücke zwischen Holocaust und Nachkriegszeit sowie deutsch-jüdischen und nicht-jüdischen Perspektiven. Dinkelaker analysiert, inwiefern diese die Aufarbeitung beider Kollektive, die Shoah-Rezeption und den Antisemitismus beeinflussten.

Im Artikel zeigt er exemplarisch, wie innerjüdische Ehrengerichte Überlebenden moralisches Versagen attestierten, während Straf- und Entschädigungsgerichte sie als ‚jüdische Täter‘ härter bestraften als die Gestapo. Das entscheidende Kriterium für diese Täter-Opfer-Umkehr war ein doppelter Standard für Juden, nämlich die Forderung nach Selbstopferung.
