Red Mud Air Purifier (REPAF): Inovasi Teknologi Berbahan Baku Tailing Bauksit Sebagai Penyerap Asap Kebakaran Hutan Di Riau Dalam Upaya Mewujudkan Target SDGs 2030
Authors: Aulia Sasa
Published: December 2022

Indonesia menempati urutan ke-9 sebagai negara dengan hutan dan lahan gambut terluas di dunia dengan luas 66,18 juta ha. Sebanyak 6.5 Juta ha berada di Pulau Sumatra, tepatnya Riau. Kebakaran hutan merupakan permasalahan krusial yang rutin terjadi setiap tahun. Pada tahun 2019, Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi Riau mencatat sebanyak 61.017 penduduk Riau terserang ISPA akibat asap kebakaran hutan. Kebakaran hutan menjadi penyebab utama Indonesia berada pada urutan keempat sebagai negara penyumbang emisi karbon tertinggi di dunia. Potensi sumber daya alam bauksit di Indonesia sangat melimpah. Badan Pusat Statistika mencatat terdapat 16.592.187,00 ton bauksit pada 2021 dan sebagian besar berada di wilayah Sumatra. Oleh karena itu, diusulkanlah sebuah inovasi pemanfaatan zeolit sintetis yang diolah dari tailing bauksit sebagai solusi dalam menangani asap kebakaran hutan di Riau. Sistem ini bernama Red Mud Panel Air Purifier (REPAF) yaitu suatu inovasi teknologi pembersih udara yang memanfaatkan zeolit sintetis dari hasil pengolahan tailing bauksit sebagai adsorben gas CO2. Metode penelitian meliputi perhitungan konsumsi energi dari REPAF, serta analisis kelayakan ekonomi dari penggunaan sistem REPAF. Proses pengolahan limbah bauksit menjadi zeolit sintetis dilakukan melalui proses fusi kaustik, dilanjutkan dengan penambahan prekursor natrium silikat, dan kristalisasi dengan temperatur 90-120°C di bawah tekanan atmosfer. Selanjutnya setelah tercapai kristalisasi, zeolit diaplikasikan di dalam aluminium. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan REPAF mampu menyerap gas CO2 dengan kapasitas penyerapan mencapai 6.4 mmol/g zeolit,. Konsumsi energi REPAF diperkirakan sekitar 7.142×105 kJ saat proses fusi kaustik serta 4.608×104 kJ saat proses kristalisasi dengan asumsi pemanfaatan tailing bauksit adalah 33.5%. Dengan adanya inovasi teknologi REPAF ini, dapat mengurangi permasalahan lingkungan yang diakibatkan dari limbah bauksit sekaligus menciptakan udara yang bersih sehingga diharapkan dapat menurunkan emisi karbon sebanyak 29% serta mewujudkan poin 3 dan poin 7 SDGs 2030.

Pandemi atau wabah virus corona atau biasa disebut juga dengan COVID-19 yang bermula dari Wuhan, Provinsi Hubei, China, terus menyebar ke berbagai negara, termasuk Indonesia. Jumlah kasus positif COVID-19 terus meningkat tiap harinya secara signifikan dan menyebar secara cepat ke berbagai provinsi di Indonesia, termasuk di provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Hingga saat ini, telah tercatat kasus positif corona di Sulawesi Selatan sebanyak 18.683 dan 470 orang meninggal dunia. Peningkatan kasus yang signifikan ini, mengakibatkan pembacaan data terkait kasus positif COVID-19 di Sulawesi Selatan dinilai kurang akurat. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan sebagai langkah antisipasi terhadap pandemi COVID-19 dengan memprediksi tingkat penyebaran COVID-19 terutama di Sulawesi Selatan agar mendapatkan keakurasian data yang lebih baik. Metode penelitian yang di terapkan pada penelitian ini ialah analisis masalah dan studi literatur, mengumpulkan data dan implementasi.
Kombucha Beverage: Comparative Study Based on Bioactive Properties and Antimicrobial Potentials of Different Plant Infusion
Authors: Doğan Cemhan , Doğan Nurcan
Published: December 2022

Kombucha, a fermented beverage, is popular for its prophylactic and therapeutic properties. Kombucha is a traditionally black tea infusion fermented with a symbiotic bacteria and yeast consortium (SCOBY) under aerobic conditions for 7-21 days. However, the beneficial properties of kombucha vary according to the substrate kind, fermentation conditions, and SCOBY consortium. The present study has screened the physicochemical, bioactive, antimicrobial, and sensory properties of beverages produced by fermenting black, green, rosehip, and licorice tea infusions with kombucha starter culture for 21 days. Tea infusions before and after fermentation; pH value, titratable acidity (TA), pellicle weight, color values (L*, a*, b*, ΔE), total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity against DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazil) radicals, and antimicrobial activity was measured. Antimicrobial activity is applied to various foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and C. albicans with based disc diffusion method and spectrophotometric technique. In this study, tea type statistically affected all parameters except pH in kombucha beverages (p<0.05). The highest TPC and antioxidant activity were determined in the green tea kombucha sample. All kombucha beverages, especially those prepared by fermentation of licorice and green tea infusions, showed the highest antimicrobial potential against E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. Consequently, it is vital to prefer kombucha fermented with SCOBY instead of consuming beverages prepared with various plants' infusions to increase many beneficial properties and provide additional benefits.
THE PEASANT-YOUTH WORLD AT THE TIME OF THE “GREAT BREAK”
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Astashov Aleksandr B.
Published: December 2022

The article, written with the use of archival materials, party and Komsomol press, and ethnographic research, analyzes the development of the peasant-youth world, within its main sex and age groups within the peasant world, on the eve and during collectivization. The main emphasis is placed on the dynamics of transformation of such aspects of youth life as participation in various forms of farming, family, culture, everyday life, and religion. The question of the effectiveness of attempts to influence the party and Komsomol bodies in the use of various forms of youth life in the formation of the socialist village through cooperation and collectivized farms is raised. The author concludes that there is considerable resilience of the youth world in the face of the intervention of the Soviet organs in the internal life of the youth, the steady development of such aspects of the modernization of this group as the restructuring of the family on personal grounds, the rationalization of consciousness, the secularization of culture and everyday life. The policy of the Party and Komsomol organizations in the countryside objectively contributed to the modernization of all aspects of the life of rural youth as part of modern society in its “socialist” form.
EGO WORLDS AND EXPLOSION: ‘A STORY ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING’ BY YEVGENY ZAMYATIN
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Spivakovskii Pavel E.
Published: December 2022

The earthly locus of this story, located at the crossroads of many seemingly incompatible yet vibrant and tragically profound worlds, is encompassed, among other things, by the multi-personal “ego” of the diegetic narrator. These worlds are imbued with pain and despair, but, according to Zamyatin, we are faced with manifestations of a living beginning, filled with the energies of revolution. As is known, Zamyatin, based on the teachings of R. Mayer, contrasted energy, which he understood as a revolutionary beginning, with entropy – stagnation and immortality. Energetic explosion, according to Zamyatin, is a necessary blow from the left to the quasi-left Bolshevik regime, which suppresses freedom and loses its living face

Published: December 2022

The article deals with to the epidemic of plague in Moscow in 1654 and the reaction to it of the Aptekarsky Prikaz (Apothecary Chancery), a Russian state institution in the 17th century, which was responsible for the medical sphere. The source analysis of the documents of this department shows that it practically did not interfere with the situation in the capital and was engaged only in supplying medicaments and doctors to the army which was at that moment at war in Europe. It did not begin to make the first efforts to identify and treat the sick until three years later, in 1657
“THE GENEROUSLY GIVING MOTHER” - THE IMPERIAL COURT OF THE 18TH CENTURY AS A DISTRIBUTOR OF FAVORS AND MATERIAL ASSISTANCE

Published: December 2022

The report is an attempt to consider the question of one of the characteristic functions of the Imperial court in the 18th century – the systematic distribution of money, benefits and gifts under Catherine II. The documents of the Imperial Cabinet testify to the increasing mass of various kinds of g giveaways and gifts to courtiers, military and civil servants and a wider circle of petitioners. Such a practice served as an important element of social policy; it was supposed to ensure the loyalty of the elite and increase the prestige of the monarch among the military and bureaucracy
Museu da Pessoa e sua redenção em tempos globais: diálogo entre Walter Benjamin e o poeta Manoel de Barros
Authors: Cortelazzi Bolzam Angelina , Carlos Lima Correia José Ailton
Published: December 2022

o artigo reflete a autenticidade do Museu da Pessoa (1991), o qual se compreende no paradoxo: espaço cultural pelo compartilhamento de experiências de vidas (Erfahrung) e sua constituição fetichizada pelos meios virtuais. Nessa tensão ontológica, adotamos um possível diálogo entre Walter Benjamin e o poeta Manoel de Barros, pelo método do desvio, para encontrar a legitimidade formativa do Museu da Pessoa. Pela perspectiva de Benjamin, identificamos na obra O colecionador bases para a redenção do fabricado de seus meios de produção, e no Livro Sobre nada de Manoel de Barros encontramos a libertação poética da funcionalidade originária das coisas para que a “aura” da obra de arte chancele o Museu da Pessoa. Por fim, a justificação da confluência estética entre os autores assinala uma nova categoria de análise sobre o Museu da Pessoa: compreendê-lo como espaço de resistência da memória coletiva, que ainda persiste em nos dizer que somos humanos.
3D reconstruction of joints from partial data using multi-object-based model: Towards a patient-specific knee implant design
Authors: Fouefack Jean-Rassaire , Dardenne Guillaume , Borotikar Bhushan , Mutsvangwa Tinashe , Burdin Valérie
Published: December 2022

In clinical routine, the capture of three-dimensional (3D) bone geometry is crucial for surgical planning, implant placement and postoperative evaluation. Nevertheless, accurate 3D reconstruction of the knee joint for the estimation of patient-specific features remains a challenge, although it has been widely studied. In this context, statistical shape models (SSM) have been used to reconstruct a global shape from partial observations, based on their ability to capture the anatomical variation from different patients. However, these studies incorporate single object SSMs which limit their application for analyzing local bone morphology and thus they lack the capacity to analyze the human anatomy at the joint level. In this paper, we present a multi-object based framework for the 3D reconstruction of the knee joint using a dynamic multi-object Gaussian process model (DMO-GPM) and an adapted Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based model fitting algorithm.

The knees were reconstructed with an average mean square error of 1.81±0.37 mm and maximum error of 3.31 mm corresponding to the surface-to-surface distance between the predicted and original knees. The results show that the knee is accurately reconstructed, especially around the joint contact surfaces. This is crucial because most of the patient- specific features required for the implant design, use landmarks in this area. The results suggest that the approach is robust and accurate to design personalized knee implants.

Reliability of Laxity Acquisitions During Navigated Total Knee Arthroplasty – Comparison of Two Techniques
Authors: Angibaud Laurent , Fan Wen , Dubard Philippe , Rueff Matthew , Prieto Herman , Parvataneni Hari
Published: December 2022

Recent developments have focused on the intra-operative management of soft-tissue balancing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) system. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the reliability of acquiring the knee joint laxities during navigated TKA with a conventional method versus a newly developed instrumented technique that uses an intra-articular quasi- constant force distractor integrated with a CAOS system. A total of 96 laxity acquisitions throughout the arc of motion were performed for the conventional and instrumented procedures. For the instrumented technique, the inter- and intraobserver reliabilities were significantly higher than the conventional manual varus/valgus stress test technique, regardless of surgeon variability and experience. Soft-tissue balance, while being a key determinant in improving outcomes in TKA, is difficult to objectively assess at the time of the surgery. This study established that the acquisition of the knee joint laxities using an instrumented technique was consistently associated with a significantly higher reliability than the conventional technique.
Mixed reality for minimally invasive Bone Tumor ablation
Authors: Djamel Aouam , Querrec Ronan , Duval Thierry , Zenati Nadia , Hamitouche Chafiaa
Published: December 2022

Minimally invasive intervention requires accuracy and practice as it can be vital in complex and narrow places. In this paper we propose a solution based on augmented reality (AR) for the ablation of bone tumors. Our proposal deals with the preoperative and intraoperative phases of the procedure. The first part consists of the segmentation and 3D reconstruction of the structures of interest. The second part consists of the visualization in AR. This solution is intended to facilitate the tasks of surgeons and radiologists when planning RF needle insertion and trajectory in order to avoid excessive exposure to X-rays, which is a phase that requires more precision and knowledge of the morphology of the mass tumor. The second part offers AR assistance based on the planning of the preoperative phase. The solution we proposed is based on the use of HoloLens 2 headsets to provide better AR visualization and assistance.

This report presents the results of a friendly competition for formal verification of con- tinuous and hybrid systems with piecewise constant dynamics. The friendly competition took place as part of the workshop Applied Verification for Continuous and Hybrid Sys- tems (ARCH) in 2022. In this edition, five tools have been applied to solve six different benchmark problems in the category for piecewise constant dynamics: BACH, PHAVer, PHAVerLite, SAT-Reach, and XSpeed. The result is a snapshot of the current landscape of tools and the types of benchmarks they are particularly suited for. Due to the diversity of problems, we are not ranking tools, yet the presented results probably provide the most complete assessment of tools for the safety verification of continuous and hybrid systems with piecewise constant dynamics up to this date.

This report presents the results of a friendly competition for formal verification and policy synthesis of stochastic models. It also introduces new benchmarks and their properties within this category and recommends next steps for this category towards next year’s edition of the competition. In comparison with tools on non-probabilistic models, the tools for stochastic models are at the early stages of development that do not allow full competition on a standard set of benchmarks. We report on an initiative to collect a set of minimal benchmarks that all such tools can run, thus facilitating the comparison between efficiency of the implemented techniques. The friendly competition took place as part of the workshop Applied Verification for Continuous and Hybrid Systems (ARCH) in Summer 2022.
Feeling Better After TKA: Reference chart for remotely collected pain scores
Authors: Antunes Ricardo , Jacob Paul , Meyer Andrew , Marchand Robert , Verstraete Matthias
Published: December 2022

Remote patient monitoring, using wearable devices and connected patient engagement platforms has the potential to improve timely clinical decisions. Data collected from multiple patients, including using the remote engagement platforms themselves, can be used to produce evidence-based reference to support clinical decisions. While some normative references for functional measure currently exist for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), these are still lacking for VAS pain scores. Therefore, VAS pain scores on a 10-point Likert scale were analyzed for 66 patients, each reporting at least five scores in the 180 days following surgery. These were used to produce a normative recovery model for total knee arthroplasty patients. A nonlinear mixed effects model was fitted, whereby the response variable is assumed to be distributed following a beta-binomial distribution. The population mean trend showed a with wide dispersion in the first few days following surgery, showing scores ranging throughout the 10-point scale. After the first week, the expected pain score steadily decreases, resulting in a score no higher than one in 50% of the population beyond 90 days after surgery. The fitted model allows referencing individual patient's pain scores at different stages of recovery, against the model’s predicted distribution. This approach can support early detection of patients that significantly deviate from the reference model and be a useful integration into clinical decision support software tools.

Published: December 2022

The Spine Cobot System (eCential Robotics, France) is a new platform which unifies 2D/3D imaging, navigation and a robotic arm. The intent is to increase patient and surgeon safety without adding time or complexity to the surgical workflow. The primary endpoint of this cadaveric trial is to assess the precision and safety of pedicular screw positioning. The secondary endpoint is to confirm the system’s usability by the operative team. The Spine Cobot System is composed of a C-arm, a station which includes the software, an infrared camera and a collaborative robotic arm (cobot). Screw placement and neural safety were assessed. Precision of screw placement was determined by comparing the final 3D acquisition to the surgeon’s planned trajectory. Safety was quantified by 3 blinded surgeons using the Gertzbein-Robbins classification. Additionally, the usability of the integrated system for spine surgery was assessed. A system evaluation was performed in compliance with international standards (IEC, FDA). Three experienced surgeons placed 90 pedicular screws in 3 prone cadavers. 100% (90/90) of the screws were accurately placed according to the Gertzbein-Robbins classification. 97% (87/90) were classified as Grade 0 and 3% (3/90) as Grade 1. The average pilot hole middle point distance deviation is 1.3mm±0.88 mm. The average pilot hole angular deviation is 0.6°±0.6°. Only 2 usability errors were observed during the workflow assessment, and none was critical for patient safety. This preliminary study shows the efficiency of the system for pedicular screw placement, with precision and safety results. This confirms the functionality of a unified system for usability and effectiveness.

Published: December 2022

Fat fraction of the rotator cuff muscles has been shown to be a predictor of rotator cuff repair failure. In clinical diagnosis, fat fraction of the affected muscle is typically assessed visually on the oblique 2D Y-view and categorized according to the Goutallier scale on T1 weighted MRI. To enable a quantitative fat fraction measure of the rotator cuff muscles, an automated analysis of the whole muscle and Y-view slice was developed utilizing 2-point Dixon MRI. 3D nn-Unet were trained on water only 2-point Dixon data and corresponding annotations for the automatic segmentation of the supraspinatus, humerus and scapula and the detection of 3 anatomical landmarks for the automatic reconstruction of the Y-view slice. The supraspinatus was segmented with a Dice coefficient of 90% (N=24) and automatic fat fraction measurements with a difference from manual measurements of 1.5 % for whole muscle and 0.6% for Y-view evaluation (N=21) were observed. The presented automatic analysis demonstrates the feasibility of a 3D quantification of fat fraction of the rotator cuff muscles for the investigation of more accurate predictors of rotator cuff repair outcome.

The scientific work is devoted to the improvement of the calculation methodology of bending reinforced concrete beam elements strengthened with a system of composite materials (SCM) from carbon fiber. During the calculation based, on the limit state method, the recommendations of foreign standards (ACI 440.2R-02) were taken into account. The determination of the cross-sectional area of the external reinforcement was carried out by an iterative method, setting some initial value with subsequent adjustment based on the results of moment strength calculations. To prevent possible debonding of SCM from the concrete base, the coefficient ΚM, with which it is possible to limit the achievement of the limit value of tensile deformation (rupture) of carbon fiber, was introduced to the general calculation. Based on the results of the calculation, the necessary geometric parameters of the strengthening material (width, thickness, number of layers) were established, with the specified normative strength and modulus of elasticity, which allows to significantly increase the strength of the studied cross-section with full use of the external reinforcement system strength. The results of this research can be used in future during the design of structures joints strengthening with systems of composite materials based on carbon fibers, glass, aramid, etc.

Pseudostem weevil (Odoiporus longicollis) attacks banana crop from 5th month of planting by adult female weevil inserting eggs into pseudostem cavities and emerging out grubs feed on the internal tissues. This weakens the pseudo stem leading to the collapse of the plant. The yield loss due to this pest is estimated as 10-30 per cent and in some cases, it may be up to 90 percent. Indiscriminate usage of chemical pesticides causes resistance in weevils and also results in pesticide residues. It is in this context that a field experiment was conducted to study the effectiveness of bio pesticide from Cassava leaf extract in controlling banana pseudostem weevil. Banana (var. Nendran) fields of 6 ha area scattered in three villages of Ernakulam district, Kerala wasselected to conduct the field study. The effect of cassava leaf extract biopesticide was compared with that of Chlorophyriphos. Data on pest incidence, crop damage, and yield were recorded. None of the plants damaged by the weevil in plants treated with biopesticide. Crop damage to the extent of 19.92 per cent was recorded in plants treated with Chlorophyriphos and 45.16 per cent of plants got damaged in plots where no treatment was done. The average increase in bunch weight by 52 per cent was recorded in plants treated with the biopesticide against 24 per cent increase in bunch weight in plants treated with Chlorophyriphos. Various extension methods were employed to popul

The present investigation was carried out with five segregating populations in sorghum to assess the association between grain yield and its correlated traits. In correlation coefficients, three crosses viz., Cross 1, Cross 3 and Cross 5 showed significant positive association of grain yield with flag leaf length, flag leaf width, harvest index, plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf chlorophyll index, stem girth, test weight (Cross 5), panicle weight, panicle length (except Cross 1) and biological yield and inter association of such traits were almost positive. Hence these three crosses could be exploited simultaneously for grain yield and other correlated traits by selection. From path coefficient analysis, it is concluded that the biological yield and harvest index had high positive direct effect on single plant yield in all crosses evaluated in the study. They also exhibited high indirect contribution on yield through yield components traits that could be used as yield determinants for further improvement in the population.

How to manage balloon entrapment during percutaneous coronary intervention of a calcified lesion “Case report”

Published: December 2022

Percutaneous coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at unclogging a coronary artery with a low complication rate (with a serious complication rate of 3% to 7% and a mortality rate of 1.2%). Device entrapment during PCI is a rare but life-threatening complication that occurs in < 1% of PCIs and balloon entrapment comes second after coronary guidewires. We present the case of 68-years-old man, smoker, hypertensive and type2 diabetic that presents angina with evidence of ischemia on myocardial tomoscintigraphy and in whom the radial coronary angiography reveals a tight calcified mid LAD stenosis. During his PCI and after dilatation with an NC balloon 2.5 × 12 the latter refuses to deflate and remains trapped in the lesion with the appearance of pain and ST-elevation despite several attempts to dilute the product in the inflator and to burst it by overexpansion. Traction on the balloon resulted in the deep intubation of the guiding-catheter, which comes in contact with the trapped balloon, and the rupture of the latter’s hypotube, which remains inflated at the site of the lesion and mounted on the 0.014 guidewire. We put a second 0.014 guidewire distally in the LAD and twisted with the distal part of the first guidewire, then we introduced a second balloon 2.0 × 20 over the second guidewire until the distal part of the guiding-catheter and inflated to trap the stucked balloon. We gradually removed this emergency assembly that allowed us to retrieve the trapped balloon. The control injection revealed a thrombotic occlusion of the LAD treated by thrombectomy and anti-GPIIbIIIa followed by a DES 2.75 × 28 placement. The patient was discharged 48 hours later with a good LVEF. The possible balloon entrapment mechanisms are an acute recoil of a highly calcified lesion with compression of the incompletely deflated balloon, which seems to be the case in our patient, strangulation of the proximal balloon end by the guiding-catheter if the balloon is removed before complete deflation and break or bend of the hypotube. The solutions in case of undeflatable balloon entrapment are to dilute the product in the inflator, to burst it by overexpansion, to pierce it through a stiff guidewire (or through its other end on a Microcatheter or OTW balloon), to cut its outer part and let it empty passively, to introduce a second guide-wire and perform a Buddy-Balloon or to transfer the patient to Surgery. Material entrapment remains a rare but life-threatening complication, its eviction requires the choice of material size and gentle manipulations (small balloons in the event of a calcified lesion) and its management uses different techniques, the choice of which depends on the clinical and anatomical situation.

The closure procedure is performed usually under local anesthesia and TTE by femoral access. The association of OS-ASD with an azygos continuation of the inferior vena cava is very rare (< 0.1/1000 births) making femoral access impossible. Only a few cases are mentioned in the literature, here we describe the procedure as faithfully as possible. Important clinical finding: We present a case of a 32-years-old female candidate for percutaneous closure of OS-ASD with right cavity dilatation who present during her procedure an unusual guidewire path suspecting an azygos continuation of the inferior vena cava, confirmed by CT angiography, making impossible the closure via the femoral approach. Therapeutic intervention: After being confronted with the categorical patient refusal of the surgery, we performed successfully the procedure; one month later; under general sedation by internal jugular approach. We finished with manual compression before extubating the patient. Outcomes: The follow-up was favorable at the cost of a hematoma at the puncture site and brachial plexus compression, which regressed after 3 days. Conclusion: We opted for general anesthesia and intubation to guide the procedure by TEE. We placed it in the aorta, which gave us good stability to continue successfully the procedure. We underestimated the risk of complication at the puncture site, which could have been avoided by using a vascular suture device or more prolonged compression. Main takeaway lesson: Percutaneous closure is the reference treatment for OS-ASD. In case of is associated with an azygos continuation of the inferior vena cava, the right internal jugular vein remains a reasonable approach; it requires discussion and rigorous preparation by the whole team. The management of the puncture site in this situation remains delicate and requires great concentration.

Die Konzepte der »operativen Gruppe« stammen aus der argentinischen Psychiatrie und Psychoanalyse der 1940er bis 1970er Jahre und werden heute in lateinamerikanischen und europäischen Ländern vielfach genutzt, häufig in therapeutischen und didaktischen Bereichen. Die Familientherapie ist ein Anwendungsfeld, das die Autoren in der kinderpsychiatrischen Praxis vorzugsweise mit operativen Konzepten angingen. Die Konzepte werden in dieser Arbeit kurz dargestellt. Anschließend präsentieren wir Fallbeispiele zur Illustration und Begründung unseres methodischen Vorgehens. Dass die Mythologie in dieser Präsentation auftaucht, ist dem Thema des Kongresses geschuldet, für den wir ursprünglich diese Arbeit konzipiert hatten, und weil sie sich zur metaphorischen Beschreibung der Vorgänge in der psychoanalytischen Psychotherapie eignet.
Zur Wirksamkeit von Friedensmediation
Authors: Schädel Andreas
Published: December 2022

Verhandlungen in Friedensprozessen sind komplex und verlaufen selten linear. Auch führen sie nur selten zu handfesten, messbaren Ergebnissen wie der Unterzeichnung eines Abkommens. Dies stellt nicht nur Mediator*innen vor große Herausforderungen bei der Begleitung von Verhandlungsprozessen, sondern macht auch die Wirkungsmessung kompliziert. Wie kann trotz sich ständig ändernder Rahmenbedingungen und schwer nachzuweisender Kausalität die Wirkung von Friedensmediation1 evaluiert werden?
Den demokratischen Moment stärken
Authors: Totter Eike , Royon-Weigelt Anna
Published: December 2022

Globale Ereignisse und geopolitische Spannungen fordern Demokratien zunehmend heraus. Individuelle und kollektive Grundrechte werden in Krisen eingeschränkt, die Gestaltungshoheit demokratisch gewählter Institutionen verlagert sich in Richtung Exekutive und Expert*innenkreise. Tiefgehende Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung erodieren zunehmend die Wirksamkeit traditioneller Institutionen. Die nachweisbare, ungleicher werdende Verteilung der Einkommen und Vermögen begünstigt Misstrauen und Frustration. Wir beleuchten drei Bereiche – Politik, Unternehmen, Schule – und skizzieren einen übergreifenden dialogischen Ansatz für Innovation und Erneuerung in gesellschaftlichen Krisenfeldern.

Die Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung der Coronapandemie waren und sind umstritten. Eine breite gesellschaftliche Debatte wäre nötig gewesen. Stattdessen wurden nahezu alle analogen Beteiligungsangebote eingestellt. Digitale Diskurse als Alternative kommen bis heute nur langsam in Gang – und können die analogen nur eingeschränkt ersetzen.
Влияние полифенолов и стероидов на продукцию интерлейкина-6 опухолевыми клеточными линиями HeLa и K562

Published: December 2022

Исследовано влияние полифенолов — рутина, дигидрокверцетина, эпигаллокатехина галлата, куркумина, уролитина А (полифенольный метаболит кишечной микробиоты) и стероидов — эстрадиола, прогестерона, гестабутаноила (синтетический аналог прогестерона) на продукцию интерлейкина-6 опухолевыми клеточными линиями HeLa (аденокарцинома шейки матки) и K562 (хроническая миелогенная лейкемия). Исследуемые соединения обладают противовоспалительной активностью и при этом могут быть использованы для долговременного введения (полифенолы — благодаря благоприятному профилю безопасности, стероиды — при гормонозаместительной терапии). Показано, что полифенольный метаболит кишечной микробиоты уролитин A (в концентрации 10 мкМ), комбинация уролитина A (10 мкМ) с куркумином (1 мкМ), а также гестабутаноил (1 мкМ) способны подавлять продукцию интерлейкина-6 клетками линии HeLa на 26 ± 3 %, 35 ± 2 % и 35 ± 1 % (p < 0,05), соответственно. Уролитин A и гестабутаноил подавляют продукцию этого цитокина клетками линии K562 на 22 ± 19 % и 19 ± 5 % (p < 0,05), соответственно. Данные соединения перспективны для дальнейшего изучения в качестве лекарственных средств для купирования хронического воспаления, в частности, при онкологических заболеваниях, а также при таких заболеваниях, как ревматоидный артрит, рассеянный склероз и др.
Dad and Kior (t. Yom. 2:2, m. Yom. 3:10): A Tannaitic Figurative Image
Authors: Haendler Cecilia
Published: December 2022

This article analyzes the expression dad la-kior (female breasts for the [Temple’s] laver) for its spigots (t. Yom. 2:2, m. Yom. 3:10), which so far has received no scholarly attention. The Temple’s laver has no taps/spigots in any attestation from the Bible to Josephus. The laver is an essential item in rabbinic imagery of the Temple and choreography of human-Divine communication. The term dad is used figuratively also for the Divine as nursing infant Israel through the manna (t. Sot. 4:3, Sif. Num. 89). The complete dependency of Israel on the Divine in the desert and of the infant on the breast parallels the laver as the crucial point on which Israel’s atonement depends. Ben Qatin (cf. Latin catīnus [basin]), who offers the laver, and other diasporic donors’ dependency on a literary Temple and rabbinic identarian normativity about handwashing are strengthened through a female image. This marks breastfeeding as a topos for exegetical competition.

Music has an important role in our life. It is also known that music helps to relax and strengthen the human spirit. The widespread use of the Internet has led to significant changes and developments in the music industry. The increase and widespread use of online music listening and sales platforms, the constant updating of these platforms and the classification of music genres can be given as examples of these developments. Music genre classification is an important step for the music recommendation system. In order for music to be classified by individuals require to listen to many songs and choose their genre. This is a difficult process and waste of time. In this paper, it is aimed to classify music according to its genres by using machine learning algorithms and to suggest similar types of music to the user. For this purpose, the features of the music files were extracted with digital signal processing techniques, and the music genres were automatically detected by using machine learning algorithms with the obtained features and a recommendation system was developed. The GTZAN dataset was chosen to be used in the study. Eight different machine learning models were trained in the Jupyter Notebook environment and the findings were compared. For this purpose, the data set was split into two sets as 80% training and 20% testing, and the accuracy of the models was evaluated. Among the tested models, the most successful result was obtained with the XGBoost algorithm with an accuracy rate of 91,792%.

The ongoing reproducibility crisis in psychology and cognitive neuroscience has sparked increasing calls to re-evaluate and reshape scientific culture and practices. Heeding those calls, we have recently launched the EEGManyPipelines project as a means to assess the robustness of electroencephalography (EEG) research in naturalistic conditions and experiment with an alternative model of conducting scientific research. 168 analyst teams, encompassing 397 individual researchers from 37 countries, independently analyzed the same unpublished, representative EEG dataset to test the same set of pre- defined hypotheses, and then provided their analysis pipelines and reported outcomes. Here, we lay out how large-scale scientific projects can be set up in a grass-roots, community-driven manner with- out a central organizing laboratory. We explain our recruitment strategy, our guidance for analysts, the eventual outputs of this project and how it might have a lasting impact on the field.
