Abstract. Diurnal variations in cloud cover and cloud vertical distribution
are of great importance to Earth–atmosphere system radiative budgets and
climate change. However, thus far these topics have received insufficient
attention, especially on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). This study focuses on the
diurnal variations in total cloud cover, cloud vertical distribution, and
cirrus clouds and their relationship to meteorological factors over the TP
based on active and passive satellite observations, reanalysis data, and
CMIP6 outputs. Our results are consistent with previous studies but provide
new insights. The results show that total cloud cover peaks at 06:00–09:00 UTC, especially over the eastern TP, but the spatial and temporal
distributions of clouds from different datasets are inconsistent. This could to some
extent be attributed to subvisible clouds missed by passive
satellites and models. Compared with satellite observations, the amplitudes
of the diurnal variations in total cloud cover obtained by the reanalysis
and CMIP6 models are obviously smaller. CATS can capture the varying pattern of
the vertical distribution of clouds and corresponding height of peak cloud
cover at middle and high atmosphere levels, although it underestimates the
cloud cover of low-level clouds, especially over the southern TP. Compared
with CATS, ERA5 cannot capture the complete diurnal variations in vertical
distribution of clouds and MERRA-2 has a poorer performance. We further
find that cirrus clouds, which are widespread over the TP, show significant
diurnal variations with averaged peak cloud cover over 0.35 at 15:00 UTC.
Unlike in the tropics, where thin cirrus (0.03< optical
depth <0.3) dominate, opaque cirrus clouds (0.3< optical
depth <3) are the dominant cirrus clouds over the TP. The seasonal
and regional averaged cloud cover of opaque cirrus reaches a daily maximum
of 0.18 at 11:00 UTC, and its diurnal cycle is strong positive correlation
with that of 250 hPa relative humidity and 250 hPa vertical velocity.
Although subvisible clouds (optical depth <0.03), which have a
potential impact on the radiation budget, are the fewest among cirrus clouds
over the TP, the seasonal and regional averaged peak cloud cover can reach
0.09 at 22:00 UTC, and their diurnal cycle correlates with that of the
250 hPa relative humidity, 2 m temperature, and 250 hPa vertical velocity.
Our results will be helpful to improve the simulation and retrieval of total
cloud cover and cloud vertical distribution and further provide an
observational constraint for simulations of the diurnal cycle of surface
radiation budget and precipitation over the TP region.

Abstract. Arctic rivers will be increasingly affected by the hydrological and biogeochemical consequences of thawing permafrost. During transport, permafrost-derived organic carbon (OC) can either accumulate in floodplain and shelf sediments or be degraded into greenhouse gases prior to final burial. Thus, the net impact of permafrost OC on climate will ultimately depend on the interplay of complex processes that occur along the source-to-sink system. Here, we focus on the Kolyma River, the largest watershed completely underlain by continuous permafrost, and marine sediments of the East Siberian Sea, as a transect to investigate the fate of permafrost OC along the land–ocean continuum. Three pools of riverine OC were investigated for the Kolyma main stem and five of its tributaries: dissolved OC (DOC), suspended particulate OC (POC), and riverbed sediment OC (SOC). They were compared with earlier findings in marine sediments. Carbon isotopes (δ13C, Δ14C), lignin phenol, and lipid biomarker proxies show a contrasting composition and degradation state of these different carbon pools. Dual C isotope source apportionment calculations imply that old permafrost-OC is mostly associated with sediments (SOC; contribution of 68±10 %), and less dominant in POC (38±8 %), whereas autochthonous primary production contributes around 44±10 % to POC in the main stem and up to 79±11 % in tributaries. Biomarker degradation indices suggest that Kolyma DOC might be relatively degraded, regardless of its generally young age shown by previous studies. In contrast, SOC shows the lowest Δ14C value (oldest OC), yet relatively fresh compositional signatures. Furthermore, decreasing mineral surface area-normalised OC- and biomarker loadings suggest that SOC might be reactive along the land–ocean continuum and almost all parameters were subjected to rapid change when moving from freshwater to the marine environment. This suggests that sedimentary dynamics play a crucial role when targeting permafrost-derived OC in aquatic systems and support earlier studies highlighting the fact that the land–ocean transition zone is an efficient reactor and a dynamic environment. The prevailing inconsistencies between freshwater and marine research (i.e. targeting predominantly DOC and SOC respectively) need to be better aligned in order to determine to what degree thawed permafrost OC may be destined for long-term burial, thereby attenuating further global warming.

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Dimethylsulfide (DMS) emitted from the ocean makes a significant global contribution to natural marine aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei, and therefore our planet’s climate. Oceanic DMS concentrations show large spatiotemporal variability, but observations are sparse, so products describing global DMS distribution rely on interpolation or modelling. Understanding the mechanisms driving DMS variability, especially at local scales, is required to reduce uncertainty in large scale DMS estimates. We present a study of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale (<100 km) seawater DMS variability that takes advantage of the recent expansion in high frequency seawater DMS observations and uses all available data to investigate the typical distances over which DMS varies in all major ocean basins. These DMS spatial variability lengthscales (VLS) are uncorrelated with DMS concentrations. DMS concentrations and VLS can therefore be used separately to help identify mechanisms underpinning DMS variability. When data are grouped by sampling campaigns, almost 80 % of the DMS VLS can be explained using the VLS of sea surface height anomalies, density, and chlorophyll-a. Our global analysis suggests that both physical and biogeochemical processes play an equally important role in controlling DMS variability, in contrast with previous results based on data from the low–mid latitudes. The explanatory power of sea surface height anomalies indicates the importance of mesoscale eddies in driving DMS variability, previously unrecognised at a global scale and in agreement with recent regional studies. DMS VLS differs regionally, including surprisingly high frequency variability in low latitude waters. Our results independently confirm that relationships used in the literature to parameterise DMS at large scales appear to be considering the right variables. However, contrasts in regional DMS VLS highlight that important driving mechanisms remain elusive. The role of sub-mesoscale features should be resolved or accounted for in DMS process models and parameterisations. Future attempts to map DMS distributions should consider the length scale of variability.
GWL_FCS30: a global 30 m wetland map with a fine classification system using multi-sourced and time-series remote sensing imagery in 2020

Abstract. Wetlands, often called the “kidneys of the earth”, play an important role
in maintaining ecological balance, conserving water resources, replenishing
groundwater and controlling soil erosion. Wetland mapping is very
challenging because of its complicated temporal dynamics and large spatial
and spectral heterogeneity. An accurate global 30 m wetland dataset that can
simultaneously cover inland and coastal zones is lacking. This study
proposes a novel method for wetland mapping by combining an automatic sample
extraction method, existing multi-sourced products, satellite time-series
images and a stratified classification strategy. This approach allowed for
the generation of the first global 30 m wetland map with a fine
classification system (GWL_FCS30), including five inland
wetland sub-categories (permanent water, swamp, marsh, flooded flat and
saline) and three coastal tidal wetland sub-categories (mangrove, salt
marsh and tidal flats), which was developed using Google Earth Engine
platform. We first combined existing multi-sourced global wetland products,
expert knowledge, training sample refinement rules and visual
interpretation to generate large and geographically distributed wetland
training samples. Second, we integrated the Landsat reflectance time-series
products and Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery to generate various water-level and
phenological information to capture the complicated temporal dynamics and
spectral heterogeneity of wetlands. Third, we applied a stratified
classification strategy and the local adaptive random forest classification
models to produce the wetland dataset with a fine classification system at
each 5∘×5∘geographical tile in 2020. Lastly,
GWL_FCS30, mosaicked by 961 5∘×5∘ regional wetland maps, was validated using 25 708 validation
samples, which achieved an overall accuracy of 86.44 % and a kappa
coefficient of 0.822. The cross-comparisons with other global wetland
products demonstrated that the GWL_FCS30 dataset performed
better in capturing the spatial patterns of wetlands and had significant
advantages over the diversity of wetland sub-categories. The statistical
analysis showed that the global wetland area reached 6.38 million km2,
including 6.03 million km2 of inland wetlands and 0.35 million km2
of coastal tidal wetlands, approximately 72.96 % of which were distributed
poleward of 40∘ N. Therefore, we can conclude that the proposed
method is suitable for large-area wetland mapping and that the
GWL_FCS30 dataset is an accurate wetland mapping product that
has the potential to provide vital support for wetland management. The
GWL_FCS30 dataset in 2020 is freely available at

Impacts of anomalies in Arctic sea ice outflow on sea ice in the Barents and Greenland Seas during the winter-to-summer seasons of 2020

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Arctic sea ice outflow to the Atlantic Ocean is essential to Arctic sea ice mass loss and the hydrographical and ecological environments in the Barents and Greenland Seas (BGS). In the context of the extremely positive Arctic Oscillation (AO) in January–March 2020, the impacts and feedback mechanisms on a seasonal scale of anomalies in Arctic sea ice outflow on winter–spring sea ice and other marine environmental conditions in the subsequent months until early summer in the BGS were investigated. The results reveal that the total sea ice area flux (SIAF) through the Fram Strait, the Svalbard-Franz Josef Land, and the Franz Josef Land-Novaya Zemlya passageways in January–March and June 2020 were higher than the 1988–2020 climatology, mainly through the Fram Strait (77.6 %). The interannual variability of this total SIAF was dominated by changes in ice motion speed (R = +0.86, P < 0.001). The relatively high ice speed along the Transpolar Drift in January–June 2020 was related to the positive phases of winter (JFM) AO and the winter-spring air pressure gradient across the western and eastern Arctic Ocean. The abnormally high Arctic sea ice outflow led to an increased sea ice area and thickness in the BGS, which has been observed since March 2020, especially in May–June. In this region, the April sea ice area was significantly negatively correlated with synchronous sea surface temperature (SST) as well as the lagging SST of 1–3 months. High sea ice area in spring (AMJ) 2020 also inhibited phytoplankton bloom, with an extremely low Chlorophyll-a concentration observed over the BGS in April. Therefore, this study suggests that winter–spring Arctic sea ice outflow can be considered as a predictor of changes in sea ice and other marine environmental conditions in the BGS in the subsequent months, at least until early summer. The results increase our understanding of the physical connection between the central Arctic Ocean and the peripheral seas.

LA-ICP-MS study of malachite from copper deposits in the Rosen ore field, Burgas ore district, SE Bulgaria
Authors: Tzankova Nikoleta
Published: January 2023

Archaeological findings of malachite ore pieces, and objects made of malachite or copper, raise the question of where the raw material was mined. Research in this direction is a challenge in modern applied mineralogy, especially concerning minerals from the oxidation zone of copper-bearing ores. According to recent studies in this field, a complex research method, including impurity elements, will provide a better distinction between different sources. The present paper is focused on the content of impurity elements in malachite ore samples from copper deposits in the Rosen ore field, SE Bulgaria, with mining activity in the past: Propadnala Voda, Sarneshko Kladenche, Meden Rid, Korucheshme, and Rosen. The nickel concentration obtained by LA-ICP-MS analyses is above 1000 ppm (1012.80–1505.15 ppm) in all studied samples, accompanied by the following element impurities: Zn, Co, Mg, As, Sb, Fe, Ag, Au, Sn, Se, and Te. The quantitative concentrations of Zn, Co, Mg, As, Ag, and Se vary in different ranges in the examined malachites from each locality. Based on this, it seems possible to differentiate between samples of each mineralization. These data would have to be supplemented by the analyses of more malachite ore samples from the region.

Nanostructured copper oxide films were obtained by the method of chemical synthesis from solutions (SCS) and exposed to post-growth rapid thermal processing (RTP) in air at different temperatures to study the influence of annealing temperature on morphological, chemical, structural and sensing properties. Controlled modification of surface morphology, in the particular size of nanostructures, crystallinity and phase can be achieved by RTP, which is preferred due to saving of energy budget nowadays. Detailed physico-chemical analysis of the films was performed using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques. Sensors based on the copper oxide nanostructured films after RTP for 30 s only were tested with 100 ppm hydrogen gas at an operating temperature range from 250 ºC to 350 ºC. The difference in the response to 100 ppm hydrogen gas of the sensors based on thermally processed films at different temperatures was determined. We also noted that the change in the response of the sensing structure is correlated with its surface morphology controlled by RTP regime with a short duration. A detection mechanism to hydrogen gas has been proposed as well.

Published: January 2023

The article proposes the technology of obtaining grissini type salt-free bakery products. Research has been carried out on reducing the salt content and replacing the water with fermentation products as kefir, whey, and sour borscht, in order to reduce the effect of the lack of salt on the product quality. The results showed that the complete exclusion of salt from the recipe had a negative effect on the dough stability, physicochemical properties and organoleptic characteristics of the baked products. Partial or total omission of salt resulted in higher dough rise ability and lower moisture content in the final product. Grissini made according to the classic recipe with salt, registered high appearance and sensory properties, while reducing the salt content results in products with a less pronounced crust and taste. The use of kefir, whey and sour borscht as water substitutes in the recipe contributed to the improvement of the chromatic parameters, as well as the physicochemical indicators of the baked grissini. However, consumers appreciated less the samples with the addition of kefir and whey. These samples being distinguished by a specific taste and smell, in some extent unusual for panelists. At the same time, grissini based on sour borscht were highly appreciated. According to the results, the sample with sour borscht without added salt recorded similar characteristics to the control sample, but in order to align it with national standards in terms of physicochemical indicators, the dough fermentation period needs to be revised.

Вокруг софиста Юлиана: риторические школы Афин IV в.
Authors: Денисова Ирина Викторовна
Published: January 2023

В данной работе исследуется проблема истории афинского риторического образования в IV веке, времени расцвета риторических школ в Афинах. Рассматриваются главные афинские школы этого периода, известные по письменным источникам, а конкретно – обобщаются данные о персоналиях – главах и выпускниках этих школ, исследуется их биография, научные труды и корпоративные связи. Это позволяет реконструировать систему афинских риторических школ IV в., определить их учеников. Одна из главных школ Афин – школа софиста Юлиана Каппадокийского, наследником которого стал знаменитый ритор Проэресий. Эта школа прославлена в труде ее выпускника Евнапия «Жизнь философов и софистов». Но помимо неё в Афинах существовал ещё ряд соперничающих с ней риторических школ, которые зачастую были не менее успешны; их функционирование отражено в византийском словаре «Суда». Помимо историко-биографического и просопографического анализа статья обобщает данные о структуре афинских кафедр риторов IV в. в соответствии со статусом города, определяет их региональную специфику и представляет особенности их функционирования.
Кампания «За права человека» в СССР в 1970–1980 гг. как инструмент политики США
Authors: Королькова Наталья Валентиновна
Published: January 2023

Тема данной работы посвящена вопросам использования США, в частности администрацией президента Дж. Картера, правозащитной деятельности как инструмента политического давления на СССР в 1970–80-е гг. Основное внимание политиков с обеих сторон сосредотачивалось на «еврейском вопросе» в СССР, праве еврейского населения Советского Союза на выезд и выбор страны проживания. Американские политики стремились через вопрос о правах человека в целом и правах евреев в частности расшатать политический режим в СССР. Советские власти, несмотря на то, что приоткрыли «железный занавес» для выезда евреев и диссидентов в русле политики «разрядки», особенно после Хельсинкских соглашений 1975 г., стремились ограничить выезд евреев, дабы не терять собственных образованных граждан, а также не усиливать Израиль против дружественных арабских стран. В связи с этим был введен «закон о дипломах», предполагавший выплату компенсации государству со стороны эмигрирующих лиц за получение высшего образования. Этот закон был одним из камней преткновения в вопросе прав человека в СССР, что использовалось США как повод для санкций и ограничений в отношении СССР. Данная политика манипулирования правами человека против геополитических противников использовалась американскими политиками и в дальнейшем, вплоть до нынешнего времени.
«Странная» клятва Ивана III: эхо монголов?
Authors: Виноградов Алексей Евгеньевич
Published: January 2023

Клятва великого князя Ивана III своему брату Андрею, содержащая апелляцию к «Небу и земле», традиционно рассматривается через призму иудео-христианских ересей. Однако последние, хотя и имели влияние на политику Ивана в конце XV в, не содержали таких языческих концептов. Вероятным истоком подобной традиции была Монгольская империя, имевшая сильное влияние на духовную и политическую жизнь Руси. Мотив «Неба и Земли» был типичным для кочевников и государств Дальнего Востока и атипичным для христианских и мусульманских государств Европы и Азии. Предположительным непосредственным источником заимствованного концепта были ордынские князья, массовый переход которых на службу Москве начался во второй половине XV в. Иван ввел в христианский текст клятвы калькированную с монгольского лексику, поскольку считал престижными традиции и образы, используемые чингисидами. Практика замалчивания монгольского влияния или придания его ключевым концептам христианской семантики в русских летописях в данном случае была нарушена.

Published: January 2023

Resumo: A qualidade de um vinho está diretamente ligada ao melhor ponto da maturação da uva. Colheitas realizadas de forma prematura ou tardia resultam em vinhos com menor expressão de seus potenciais qualitativos. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a evolução da maturação dos frutos e a composição dos mostos das variedades Cabernet Sauvignon e Merlot em cinco vinhedos comerciais da região de São Joaquim durante os ciclos de 2010 a 2013. Todos os indicadores da maturação tecnológica e polifenólica das uvas apresentaram adequada evolução dos parâmetros e se mostraram apropriados para a elaboração de vinhos finos de alta qualidade. Entretanto, as condições da região proporcionam um declínio lento dos teores de ácidos orgânicos nas uvas e nos mostos sem, no entanto, comprometer o equilíbrio açúcar/acidez. Após a colheita, os mostos apresentaram atributos que comprovam o bom potencial qualitativo das variedades estudadas em relação às condições presentes na região.

Considered more stable, safe, and responsible than storage above ground, this solution is seen as a way of keeping the waste out of human reach, and of freeing oneself of the obligation to monitor repositories. However, it soon became clear that the idea of relying on the relative stability of deep geological repositories for the safe disposal of nuclear waste to remove it from the ‘all too human’ risks associated with history’s turbulences, has produced new uncertainties, and raised new questions, given the multi-millennial time scales involved.
This article presents a study of the strategies adopted by the actors in charge of radioactive waste management in the face of the temporal constraints imposed by the length of their radioactive life. More specifically, it is intended to question the representations of temporality that allow the designers of these projects to assume their responsibilities by transmitting information and warnings towards to an extremely distant future, to recipients who are not easily representable and for whom they already have a responsibility even though they do not yet exist.

Background/Objective: Few studies have clearly shown a correlation between obesity and wound complications. We analyzed the correlation between body mass index and the complication rate of mesh-based open paraumbilical hernia repair. Method: This observational study after the approval from the institute review board using non-probability consecutive sampling, recruited 150 participants scheduled to have open mesh surgery for paraumbilical hernia repair from 01/may/2022 to 30/Oct/2022 at Department of General Surgery, Civil Hospital Ruth Pfau, DUHS, Karachi and divided into two groups; BMI 26-30 (n=62) and BMI 31-36 (n=88). Completed surveys were analyzed for demographic and clinical data, hernia features, surgical procedures, and patient outcomes. Results: The average age of the participants in the present study was 44.32 years, with an average BMI of 30.97 kg/m2. Out of 150 recruited participants 78 were female and 72 were males. Mean hernia width of the recruited participants was 10.12, with average operative time of the participants was 101.58 minutes. The Mean± S.D of hospital stay (days) of both study groups was 0.82±0.61 and 2.55±0.77 years, and a significant association (0.000) in their mean difference was observed. 26% participants in BMI (26-30) and 58% participants in BMI (26-30), got readmitted to hospital and a significant association (0.000) in their mean difference was observed. 13% participants in BMI (26-30) and 43% participants in BMI (26-30), got wound infection and a significant association (0.000) in their mean difference was observed. Practical implication: this study will help to understand what type of surgery procedures can be beneficial in different BMI classes. Conclusion: The developing SSI and SSOPI after paraumbilical hernia repair rise steadily with increasing BMI. More research is needed to see whether dropping some pounds before surgery will mitigate this correlation. Keywords: paraumbilical hernia repair, BMI, Wound infections, Wound classification.

Introduction: Gender based violence is not only a violation of women’s basic human rights but also emerged as a major public health issue. This fact is also recognized in Pakistan as a result of international recognition of the problem, its prevalence in the society and documentation of its consequences by various agencies and boom of electronic and social media. Objectives: The main purpose of this dissertation was to assess the causes of gender-based violence and perception of females by interviewing them and to determine the attitude and practices of females regarding gender-based violence in our society. Study Design: This cross sectional study was conducted in District Jhelum between June 2017 to September 2017. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study done in district Jhelum. The calculated sample size was 300 with 1% bound of error and 95% confidence interval. The data was collected through the self-designed questionnaire. Inclusion criteria was women 18 years or above in District Jhelum. Informed consent was taken prior to the interview. Exclusion criteria included women below 18 years of age and those who refused to give consent. Results: 300 female respondents from different regions of District Jhelum were approached. 33.3% of the respondents belonged to the age group of 26-35 years. 29% belonged to the age group of 18-25 years. 21.3% belonged to the 36-45 years of age, 12% belonged to 46-55 years and 4.3% were above 56 years with mean age of 31.5±1.13. 28.3% were single, 65.7% were married, 0.6% were separated, 2% were divorced and 3.3% were widowed. 23.6% of the respondents had primary education, 21.3% had secondary education, 22% had college (diploma/higher diploma) and 33% were undergraduate and post graduate. 41% (n=123) were only house wife while 59% (n=177) were working in private and government institutes. 85.33% (n=256) reported that they have heard about this term, while 14.67% (n=44) reported that they don’t know about gender based violence. While assessing the association between marital status and knowledge it was found that n=163 who were married had knowledge about this term as compared to unmarried (n=77). This showed that married females were more familiar with the gender based violence. Although the study no association of marital status with knowledge (p=0.189> 0.05) using Pearson Chi-Square test. Practical implication Conclusion: The study showed that much of the females are aware of the gender based violence. Depending upon the results of the study it can be concluded that married women suffer more from gender based violence as compared to unmarried women in our society. There are different factors which can lead towards this curse and they should be controlled at the social and community level. The problem should be solved by educating men, by persuasion of community leader, guidance and counseling of men. Keywords: Gender-based violence, Perception, Attitude, Practice, Society.

Background and Aim: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who have hypomagnesemia are at greater risk of mortality and progression. A limited amount of data is available on the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in kidney-related risk factors and chronic kidney disease patients. The present study aimed to assess the Proteinuria-associated hypomagnesemia in chronic renal disease patients: prevalence, risk factors, and effect. Patients and Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 128 chronic kidney disease patients in the Medicine Department of Shifa International Hospital, Rawalpindi from January 2022 to August 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are as follows: group-I composed of Proteinuric and group-II non-proteinuric. Prior to study conduction, the ethical committee approved the protocol. Patients with prior history of ileostomy, malignancy, chronic diarrhea, colostomy, and using magnesium based medications were excluded. Detailed history, physical examination, and investigations such as serum total magnesium level (mg/dl), serum sodium level (mg/dl), serum creatinine (mg/dl), and total cholesterol and triglycerides (mg/dl) were recorded. Hypomagnesemia was defined as a serum magnesium level < 1.8 mg/dL. Results: Of the total 128 CKD patients, there were 66 (51.6%) male and 62 (48.4%) females. Group I and II had 64 patients each. The overall mean age of group-I and group-II was 48.82±12.52 and 48.21±10.64 years respectively. The prevalence of hypomagnesemia (<1.8 mg/dL) in the proteinuric group was 20 (31.3%). Diabetic patients are more susceptible to hypomagnesemia. The incidence of diabetic, hypertensive, and both diabetic and hypertensive was 12 (60%), 3 (15%), and 5 (25%) respectively among 20 hypomagnesemia. Hypomagnesemia patients had higher CRP (46 mg/L), UACR (2064 mg/g), lower serum potassium (56.4%), lower mean hemoglobin levels (10.2 g/dL), and lower serum sodium (34.9%) as compared to normomagnesemic patients 12 mg/L, 810 mg/g, 24.8%, 11.25 g/dL, and 8.6% respectively. Conclusion: The present study found that there is an independent association between hypomagnesemia and proteinuria in non-dialysis CKD patients. Anemia and hyperparathyroidism are risk factors for inflammation and anemia in CKD patients pre-dialysis. Dietary magnesium supplementation and hypomagnesemia correction may retard proteinuria and CKD progression in CKD patients.

Authors: Solangi Aftab Ahmed , Ullah Nasr , din Jalalu , Jamil Amir , Aslam Omer
Published: January 2023

Background: The primary LMCA stenting methods used nowadays consist of single stent (provisional), and two stent (T and protrusion, and double kissing crush {DK crush}, culotte, or classic crush). The optimal technique for bifurcation lesion treatment for the patients present with distal ULMCA disease is still unclear and not much is known about the best course of action and the clinical outcomes following various PCI techniques for ULMCA bifurcations in Pakistan. Objective: To investigate the midterm (3-year) outcomes related to the provisional stenting compared to two-stenting technique for the bifurcations of ULMCA undergoing the percutaneous coronary intervention. Methodology: A single-center retrospective, non-randomized cohort study was conducted during the period from March 2021 to August 2022 including all the consecutive LM bifurcation lesions. The patients attending Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore were divided into two groups, depending upon the treatment received. One group underwent PCI with provisional stenting technique while the other underwent 2-stent PCI. The groups were compared for procedural success and 3-year clinical outcomes. Data was analyzed using SPSS. Results: The success rate of left main bifurcation angiography was comparable between both the techniques (2-stent 93.6 % vs. Provisional 92.1 %, P = 0.62). MACE rates were comparable between groups at 1, 2, and 3 years (PS 3.0 % vs. Dual stent 2.4 %, p = 0.75 at 1-year, PS 4.8 % vs. Dual stent 8 %, p = 0.26 at 2-years, and PS 10.2 % vs. Dual stent 12 % at 3-years, p = 0.62). Conclusion: Two stenting strategy was linked to same rates of MACEs at the 3-year duration in comparison to the single stenting technique (PS 10.2 % vs. 2-Stent 12 %, p=0.62) and both the dual and single provisional stent techniques have comparable angiographic success rate for LM bifurcation lesions.
PREOȚII MILITARI DIN ARMATA ROMÂNIEI. DE LEGE LATA ȘI LEGE FERENDA1 ÎN DREPTUL ROMÂNESC
Authors: MACIU Florin , MACIU Armand
Published: January 2023

După mai mult de douăzeci de ani de la reintroducerea preoților militari în rândul forțelor armate, se pot observa ceva  inadvertențe, mai mici sau mai mari, atunci când facem o comparație între scopul reglementărilor adoptate în domeniul regimului preoților militari și modul în care acestea sunt puse în practică. Factorii de decizie din forțele armate par să facă o analogie totală între statutul clerului militar și reglementările care privesc salariații civili angajați cu contract de muncă, iar acest fapt generează o anumită frustrare în rândul preoților militari. Membrii acestui corp se așteptau la un tratament, chiar și atunci când se ia în calcul managementul personalului, similar cu al celorlalți ofițeri, ai căror colegi sunt, singura diferență fiind că preoții militari sunt personal necombatant. Prezentul articol reexplică metodele complexe și interdependente de interpretare a legislației și arată soluția necesară și imperativă de a pune lucrurile pe făgașul lor normal. Nu este nevoie de niciun fel de efort, sacrificii sau pierderi. Numai de bunăvoință și bună-credință.
Statistical tests for text homogeneity: using forward and backward processes of numbers of different words

Published: January 2023

The processes of growth in the number of diverse words in a text, when reading in the forward and backward directions, are studied in this article. Based upon the statistics achieved from the difference between these two processes, we construct a statistical test. This statistical test is used for text homogeneity checks. The elementary model states that words in a text are selected from some dictionary independent of each other according to the Zipf–Mandelbrot law. P-values of the statistical test are calculated based on the elementary probabilistic model using the asymptotic normality of corresponding statistics. At last but not least, this statistical test is applied for the analysis of homogeneity of sequences of sonnets.
Quantifying syntax similarity with a polynomial representation of dependency trees
Authors: Liu Pengyu , Feng Tinghao , Liu Rui
Published: January 2023

We introduce a graph polynomial that distinguishes tree structures to represent dependency grammar and a measure based on the polynomial representation to quantify syntax similarity. The polynomial encodes accurate and comprehensive information about the dependency structure and dependency relations of words in a sentence, which enables in-depth analysis of dependency trees with data analysis tools. We apply the polynomial-based methods to analyze sentences in the ParallelUniversal Dependencies treebanks. Specifically, we compare the syntax of sentences and their translations in different languages, and we perform a syntactic typology study of available languages in the Parallel Universal Dependencies treebanks. We also demonstrate and discuss the potential of the methods in measuring syntax diversity of corpora.
