UNSTRUCTURED

Progressive difficulty in performing everyday functional activities is a key diagnostic feature of dementia syndromes. However, not much is known about the neural signature of functional decline, particularly during the very early stages of dementia. Early intervention before overt impairment is observed offers the best hope of reducing the burdens of Alzheimer disease (AD) and other dementias. However, to justify early intervention, those at risk need to be detected earlier and more accurately. The decline in complex daily function (CdF) such as managing medications has been reported to precede impairment in basic activities of daily living (eg, eating and dressing). Our goal is to establish the neural signature of decline in CdF during the preclinical dementia period. Gait is central to many CdF and community-based activities. Hence, to elucidate the neural signature of CdF, we validated a novel electroencephalographic approach to measuring gait-related brain activation while participants perform complex gait-based functional tasks. We hypothesize that dementia-related pathology during the preclinical period activates a unique gait-related electroencephalographic (grEEG) pattern that predicts a subsequent decline in CdF. We provide preliminary findings showing that older adults reporting CdF limitations can be characterized by a unique gait-related neural signature: weaker sensorimotor and stronger motor control activation. This subsample also had smaller brain volume and white matter hyperintensities in regions affected early by dementia and engaged in less physical exercise. We propose a prospective observational cohort study in cognitively unimpaired older adults with and without subclinical AD (plasma amyloid-β) and vascular (white matter hyperintensities) pathologies. We aim to (1) establish the unique grEEG activation as the neural signature and predictor of decline in CdF during the preclinical dementia period; (2) determine associations between dementia-related pathologies and incidence of the neural signature of CdF; and (3) establish associations between a dementia risk factor, physical inactivity, and the neural signature of CdF. By establishing the clinical relevance and biological basis of the neural signature of CdF decline, we aim to improve prediction during the preclinical stages of ADs and other dementias. Our approach has important research and translational implications because grEEG protocols are relatively inexpensive and portable, and predicting CdF decline may have real-world benefits.

BACKGROUND

Tobacco use remains a major cause of preventable deaths and the leading modifiable risk factor for cancer prevention. In Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), approximately 60% of male and 15% of female cancer patients smoked cigarettes. Despite, there was no tobacco treatment program for this population.

OBJECTIVE

This paper describes the design, methods, and analysis plans for our pilot intervention randomized controlled trial (RCT) that is funded by the United States National Cancer Institute and that aims to adapt and evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of our mHealth intervention to help Lao cancer survivors and their caregivers quit smoking cigarettes.

METHODS

We utilized an intervention mixed-methods research design, which included a pilot 2-group interventional RCT and an embedded qualitative component to explain RCT outcomes. In the pilot RCT, cancer survivors or caregivers (N=80, no dyads) who smoked were recruited from national hospitals in Vientiane Capital. Recruited participants were randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups: standard care (SC) or mHealth-based automated treatment (AT). SC consists of brief advice to quit smoking delivered by research staff, self-help written materials, and a 2-week supply of nicotine replacement therapy (transdermal patches). AT consists of all SC components plus our fully-automated interactive smartphone-based treatment program, personalized and tailored to cancer survivors or caregivers, and delivered by our Insight app. The primary RCT outcome is biochemically confirmed self-reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence at 3 months post-study enrollment. During the interventional RCT and at the 3-month follow up assessment, we used additional open-ended questions to explore why and how the participants did or did not successfully quit smoking and stay abstinent.

RESULTS

Data collection occurred from April 2022 to May 2023. Outcome analyses are ongoing.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study is the first effort that uses scalable and sustainable mHealth technology to provide tobacco cessation treatment to cancer patients/survivors and their caregivers in Lao PDR. This project is built on a strong partnership with stakeholders at national institutions in Lao PDR, which will enhance the intervention’s sustainability in the future. This project and subsequent fully-powered RCT have the potential to improve cancer care and cancer survivorship research in Lao PDR.

Orduña Trujillo, Eva Leticia. Genocidio y justicia transicional en Guatemala. Un acercamiento desde la historia oral. México: UNAM-CIALC, 2023
Authors: De Jesús Santiago Juana
Published: September 2024

En el presente libro la autora se ocupa de una veta que ha sido insuficientemente estudiada dentro de la justicia transicional: la historia oral. Generalmente, cuando se analiza este tipo de justicia se hace desde un enfoque histórico, jurídico, político, social. La forma en la cual la historia oral se ha ocupado de la justicia transicional es a través de darle voz a las víctimas. Por supuesto que ello es sumamente valioso y necesario, ya que ellas son quienes han sufrido las violaciones a los derechos humanos. Debemos escucharles y atenderles. Sin embargo, Eva Leticia Orduña, en este libro, nos hace ver también la importancia de conocer de manera directa lo que tienen qué decir actores de los cuales la historia oral no ha considerado como el centro de su atención al estudiar la justicia transicional. En este sentido, la autora permite que expertos de diversas disciplinas como lo son abogados, historiadores, antropólogos, entre otros, puedan compartir sus experiencias, sus saberes, sus reflexiones, y también sus deseos y sus temores.

Advancing Functional Safety in Automated Driving: A Methodological Approach to Legacy System Integration under ISO 26262
Authors: Kothinti Govardhan Reddy
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This article presents a novel method for enhancing the design of Functional Safety Concepts (FSC) in automated driving systems, addressing the challenges of integrating legacy components within the ISO 26262 framework. The proposed approach systematically leverages existing diagnostic specifications of legacy subsystems to assess their impact on safety-critical functions, producing abstracted reports suitable for vehicle architects. This method facilitates the creation of Preliminary Architectures (PA) and supports FSC verification argumentation. Tested on a safety-critical braking subsystem at Scania C.V. AB, the approach demonstrates several benefits: effective reuse of existing work products, comprehensive requirement gathering for automated driving, efficient parallelization of work across expertise domains, and broad applicability to various subsystems. Results indicate that this method not only enables cost-effective and robust design but also aligns with evolving industry standards for safety in automated driving systems. The article concludes by discussing the implications of this approach for the automotive industry and suggesting directions for future research in functional safety concept design

Published: September 2024

Urban wastewater disinfection is a critical component of environmental sustainability and human health. Current technologies for this are often costly and inaccessible to many communities. Typically, this treatment is carried out by chemical processes, with chlorination being the most common despite the potential for harmful disinfection byproducts. However, the emergence of promising alternatives, such as physical processes that utilize hydrodynamic cavitation reactors (HCRs), offers significant energy and environmental benefits. Based on this, the Fundación Universitaria San Gil, UNISANGIL, has developed a technology that utilizes hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) to disinfect urban wastewater samples discharged into the Fonce river in San Gil, Santander, Colombia. The primary objective of this research was to test the ability of a hydrodynamic cavitation system to reduce total coliforms and fecal coliforms (E. coli) in a 200 L tank containing 12.5 L of domestic urban wastewater diluted in 187.5 L of non-residual water. The methodology consisted of three steps: HCR design and simulation, HC implementation, and disinfection measurement. The experiments were conducted with a Venturi-type HCR, designed with computational fluid dynamics, and tested with wastewater samples from one of the ten discharges that flow into the river. The results obtained for a system with a flow capacity of 0.00625 m3/s show an average growth inhibition rate of 31.72 %, 59.45 %, and 84.53 % for one, ten, and twenty water recirculation, respectively, with an energy efficiency of 2327.6 CFU/J. The highest results reach a Growth Inhibition Rate (GIR) of 93.40 %, a Logarithmic Reduction (LR) of 1.18 for Total Coliforms, and a GIR of 95.12 % and an LR of 1.31 for E. coli. Finally, it is concluded that this technology holds great promise for efficiency and operational viability, with further testing required to realize its potential.

Published: September 2024

Engine lubricant oil is crucial for minimizing friction between moving components within an engine, directly influencing the engine's reliability and lifespan. Determining the appropriate oil replacement intervals is essential, as extending these intervals necessitates more rigorous monitoring of both oil quality and engine condition. This study investigated the performance of SAKAI 15W-40 DH1 engine oil in the SAKAI Vibrating Roller SV526 over varying operational periods: 125 hours, 250 hours, 375 hours, and 500 hours. The research involved analyzing oil samples for viscosity, metal additives, total base number (TBN), and contaminants using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Additionally, key engine performance indicators, including fuel consumption, valve clearance, and compression pressure, were measured. The findings revealed a gradual decrease in oil viscosity from 13.48 cSt to 11.56 cSt, approaching the minimum acceptable threshold of 11.45 cSt. Concurrently, the Fe content in the oil increased to 11 ppm, indicating wear, while the valve clearance in cylinder number three expanded to 0.48 mm, and compression pressure dropped from 31 kg/cm² to 28 kg/cm². Despite these changes, the oil remained within the standard operational limits, and the engine continued to perform adequately. However, based on the observed trends, extending the oil replacement interval to 500 hours cannot be conclusively recommended, as the oil's condition and engine performance may begin to decline beyond this point.

Published: September 2024

The efficient management of heat transfer from aircraft engines to the wings is vital for maintaining thermal efficiency and structural integrity in modern aircraft design. Excessive heating of the wings, caused by engine-generated heat, can negatively impact aerodynamic performance and safety. This study focuses on analyzing heat distribution in a square aluminum 7075 plate to better understand heat transfer mechanisms. Using the Laplace equation, implemented through MATLAB (2023 Online Version), we aim to simulate and analyze heat distribution on the plate. The numerical method employed in this research involves solving the Laplace equation with Neumann boundary conditions, which represent insulated edges. The Liebmann method is used to iteratively reduce error to less than 1%. Simulations are conducted on an aluminum 7075 plate of dimensions 4x10⁻² m x 4x10⁻² m under various temperature conditions at the edges. Numerical results show that at the 9th iteration, the error reaches 0.71%, while MATLAB simulations yield an error of 0.4681% at the same iteration. The heat distribution across the plate is clearly visualized, and the analysis indicates that increasing the number of grids improves both the clarity and accuracy of the simulation results. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that applying the Laplace equation via MATLAB is an effective approach for analyzing heat distribution in aluminum 7075 plates. The results show that a finer grid resolution enhances accuracy, with a 101-grid system providing particularly clear and precise heat distribution patterns. These findings contribute to the optimization of thermal system designs, especially in aviation-related applications.

Authors: Aisyah Siti , Kawuryan Sekar Purbarini
Published: September 2024

This study seeks to examine the differences between the Value Clarification Technique (VCT) model, integrated with socioscientific issues through role-playing, and the more commonly used problem-based learning model in schools. Scientific literacy among elementary school students remains low, necessitating innovative teaching approaches. The research employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design, specifically utilizing a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest model. The sample consisted of 71 fifth-grade students, divided into two groups: the experimental group, which received the VCT-based intervention, and the control group, which followed the standard curriculum. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments, and hypothesis testing was performed using paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests via SPSS 2022. The results indicate that the VCT model, integrated with socioscientific issues through role-playing, significantly improves students' scientific literacy, particularly their ability to explain scientific phenomena. As a critical 21st-century competency, scientific literacy enables students to analyze information, articulate scientific concepts, and draw evidence-based conclusions from data.
Deformation of Stable Meaning Formation and Its Difference from Transformation in Experiencing a Situation of Life Crisis
Authors: Zabolotko A. A. , Dyatlova L. A.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Deformation of meaning formation, as an internal mechanism of personal meaning change in the situation of life crisis, is insufficiently studied. This leads to a limited use of the process of meaning regulation of personal meaning change, which entails difficulties of the individual in finding a way to correct his or her meaning-oriented state, such asstagnation, getting stuck and overcoming.

   Objective. To reveal the mechanism of deformation of meaning formation when personal meaning changes in it in the situation of life crisis and to indicate the difference between deformation and transformation. Comparison of deformation and transformation processes. Using a comparative analysis of the processes of deformation and transformation of meaning formation, we find a clear difference in the mechanism of personal meaning change. In the case of deformation, the situation of life crisis remains unchanged, including motive and goal (meaning motive), attitude and action (meaning attitude). In this case, only their ratio changes, in contrast to the transformation of meaning formation, where the situation changes completely with a complete transition of meaning structures into new or different ones. Pattern of meaning regulation. Deformations of meaning formation are revealed in the mechanism of the pattern of meaning regulation, where changes in personal meaning occur when experiencing a situation of life crisis by means of meaning choice. Meaning choice is a system-forming factor of personal meaning change towards one of the three poles of the pattern of meaning regulation, in the meaning trace of experience (introjection), in conscious experience (ensartence) and in goal-setting (intension). Strategies of meaning choice. In the case of deformation of meaning formation, the meaning motive and meaning attitude do not change into new meaning structures, but change the internal ratio of the goal and action, respectively. This occurs through meaning choice with the purpose of changing personal meaning toward stability (certainty) or instability (uncertainty). Three types of meaning choice strategies are involved in changing personal meaning: the strategy of meaning trace of experience, the strategy of conscious experience, and the strategy of goal setting.

   Discussion. At deformation of semantic formation its type and type of personality are formed depending on what semantic choice was made under the influence of the situation of life crisis. Such an indicator of semantic choice as readiness of a personality to make it in experiencing the situation of life crisis is determined.
A Study of Factors in Women’s Choice of a Potential Partner in the Context of Internet Dating
Authors: Andryukha A. N.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The study aims to investigate the factors of women’s choice of partner in an online dating situation. In the period of digitalization, many women seek to expand their opportunities to find a suitable partner through the use of online dating services. At the same time, many women have certain concerns and do not know what exactly to pay attention to when dating so that it leads to the creation of a romantic relationship. This is the first time that the question of the existence of a relationship between the factors of partner selection and the consequences of online dating is considered, which determines the novelty of the study. Its results will help to identify the most successful strategies for choosing a potential partner that lead to the establishment of long-term relationships.

   Objective. To identify the most common factors among women in selecting a potential partner in an Internet dating situation.

   Materials and Methods. A translated version of Liesel Sharabi’s questionnaire-questionnaire was used to establish the peculiarities of women’s use of dating services. Binomial criterion, Fisher’s exact test, and conjugacy test were used as methods of statistical data analysis.Results. The empirical object of the study was women aged 18 to 60 (n = 61). It was found that women are quite selective in the situation of choosing potential partners in dating services. The majority of women feel apprehension regarding the use of dating services, which is associated with the fear of not meeting a suitable partner there. At the same time, women remain convinced of the effectiveness of dating services and hope to get married through their use. The main factor in choosing a partner among women is the way he or she shows himself or herself in correspondence. At the same time, women who got married as a result of online dating also took into account such a factor as the appearance of the chosen one.

   Discussion. The obtained data are confirmed by the results of other authors’ studies. Thus, women’s selectivity in the situation of Internet dating is explained by the increase in their self-confidence, as well as by the desire to demonstrate themselves from the “right” side. At the same time, women’s fears seem to be quite justified, taking into account that men are much more likely to describe their desired, rather than real, characteristics in questionnaires. Women more often make a choice based on the features of correspondence, since most of the criteria important for selection are revealed in the course of communication.
Theoretical and Empirical Justifications for The Development of the Questionnaire “Subjective Evaluation of Lukism in Humor”
Authors: Pogontseva D. V.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The paper deals with the problem of lookism (discrimination based on appearance) on the example of evaluating humorous posts and memes, which in various social situations can act as triggers of lookism. In order to diagnose sensitivity to Lukism in jokes, we attempted to prepare a basic description of the future structure of the methodology by testing a number of statements obtained by other authors in relation to different types of jokes. The novelty of the study lies in the description of the stages of preparation of the stimulus material, which allows us to study the peculiarities of perception of humor that ridicules the features of appearance and sensitivity to such jokes depending on the respondent’s experience (as a victim or a witness).

   Objective. To test a number of assumptions that are essential for the development of a questionnaire to examine the subjective evaluation of Lukism in humor.

   Materials and Methods. The study was conducted in five stages, a total of 410 participants (54 men, 356 women), aged 19 to 46 years, each stage included consideration of different components of perception and evaluation of humor in terms of the perception of it as offensive/containing lukism.

   Results. At each stage the peculiarities of perception of humorous posts that are distributed in social networks were revealed. It was revealed that the way of design (textual, textual-visual, as well as peculiarities of using different visual components), as well as the personal experience of respondents who faced situations of Lukism and self-assessment of respondents’ appearance influence the perception of a joke as containing or not containing Lukism, as well as the prediction of its assessment by other people as “offensive”.

   Discussion. Considering memes as complex, multilevel texts of identity, we see in them a significant potential for studying social norms, stereotypes and attitudes about appearance and sensitivity to the assessment of it as “non-standard” and a target for jokes. At the empirical level, we have identified a number of requirements for the selection of jokes to be included in the questionnaire: uniformity of design, use of “swear words”, visual content (images of “realistic people”), etc. An approximate structure of the future questionnaire is also presented.

Someone's expertise in a field is sometimes obtained when he has got a job that for him has become a career in his life. However, many of them could not develop their skills in line with the changing times. Where the times are getting more advanced and developing, which of course also demands all human work to be more advanced as well, especially the PAI teacher profession which is often said to be a rigid profession of creative and innovative methods in learning in a technological era. that is why even though one has had a solid career, one still needs education and training (DIKLAT) regarding his professional development. Of course, in conducting education and training, there must be goals to be achieved, such as wanting changes in knowledge, attitudes and skills. From this goal, it will also make it easier to determine the material for the implementation of education and training. So in developing the PAI teacher profession in this digital era, education and training must be carried out in order to create creative Islamic education teachers in utilizing existing technology. And the material that will be delivered during the training is of course also related to how to become a creative teacher in the digital era.
