Remarkable Improvement in Plaque Psoriasis with a 4 week Short Course Liraglutide Therapy in an Obese Type 2 DM Patient
Authors: Ramakrishnan Santosh , Yousuf Khan Mohammed , Ramakrishnan Anantharaman , Gopal Shanmugasundar , Warrier Rohit
Published: September 2022

Psoriasis is an immune mediated chronic skin disease associated with components of metabolic syndrome like obesity and type-2 diabetes. Previously, anti-diabetic drugs especially insulin sensitizers (metformin and pioglitazone) have shown positive outcomes in subjects with psoriasis1. Recently, many case series and longitudinal observational studies previously have demonstrated improvement in psoriasis with GLP1 agonist therapy when followed up for 8-12 weeks2,3. We report a patient with psoriasis and Type2 DM in whom a marked improvement in psoriasis was seen with liraglutide therapy, even with a short course of therapy for 4 weeks, which has not been previously recorded, to the best of our knowledge. This could be due to our subject possibly being a better GLP-1 responder based on baseline characteristics of relatively higher BMI and HbA1c4.

Published: September 2022

Overweight and obesity are considered a global epidemic in the twenty first century, it is a multifactorial disease due, in part, to a genetic component. The most common genetic alteration is one that affects the neuroregulatory pathway of Leptin, a fundamental hormone for appetite regulation. Mutations that affect the LEP gene are present in the different exons of this gene and have been described for many years. Although obesity due to a genetic mutation is not the most common cause, its diagnosis is of paramount importance since it can affect the quality of life and life expectancy of the patients suffering from this condition. The purpose of this mini review is to present up-to-date evidence regarding Leptin gene mutations, possible treatment strategies such as Leptin Replacement Therapy (LRT), leptin sensitizers and anti-inflammatory drugs, and discuss the importance of stablishing health policies worldwide to achieve a timely and successful approach to this disease.

Tirta Samudra Beach is a beach that is quite famous and has become a mainstay of Jepara Regency so that it becomes a fairly popular tourist destination, not only for the people of Jepara, but also most of the population of Central Java and even outside the province. Currently, tourism activities on Tirta Samudra Beach are very limited to just recreation, enjoying the panoramic beauty of the coast, and swimming activities. While there is still a lot of physical potential in the form of a coastal environment that has not been fully utilized, such as water sports tourism, vacant land, and so on. Its natural beauty is in great demand by many people, therefore it can cause environmental damage because it is often visited by visitors. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and study the tourism industry strategy to find out what is needed to keep attracting visitors and minimize environmental damage. The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential and to anticipate the development strategy of tourism objects in Tirta Samudra Beach. The method used is a field survey with data collection using observations, questionnaires, and documentation to tourists and local managers.

The mangrove ecosystem is a coastal ecosystem that is important for humans. Mangroves absorb carbon in the atmosphere and store it in biomass or sediment. So, in other words, mangroves play a significant role in mitigating global climate change. This study aimed to examine the structure of the mangrove ecosystem composition and estimate standing carbon stocks on Sangiang Island, Banten. The data taken was for the categories of trees, saplings, and seedlings (consisting of mangrove species, DBH, and height). The study was conducted at three stations with three replications for each station. The allometric formula obtained the estimated carbon stock from the stand biomass value. The results showed that 11 species of mangrove species were found with an average density of 1266 ind/ha (trees), 3733 ind/ha (saplings), and <70% (seedlings). Then the estimated average carbon stock in Sangiang Island, Banten is 271.29 tons/ha.

Tunda Island is one of a group of islands located in the northern area of Banten Province. In the eastern and southern parts of Tunda Island, there is a mangrove ecosystem which is a habitat for various organisms, one of which is gastropods. In the mangrove ecosystem, some gastropods live on the roots, stems, and leaves of mangroves by sticking and climbing, clinging to dead wood, to the muddy ground. It is necessary to know the type composition and distribution of gastropods in the mangrove ecosystem found on Tunda Island, Serang Regency, Banten. Gastropod sampling was carried out on a 5 x 5 m2 plot at the lowest tide. All types of gastropods found in the plots were taken by hand. The gastropod samples obtained were then cleaned and put in a sample bottle, then given a 70% alcohol solution as initial preservation for further identification at the Laboratory of Dry Hydrobiology, Marine Science and Technology, FPIK, Bogor Agricultural University.

The Change of Food Consumption Space According to the Construction of Youngsan River’s Estuary dam: Focus on Grilled Eel
Authors:   The Association Of Korean Cultural And Historical Geographers, Jo Jeongkyu
Published: September 2022

This study aims to clarify how the construction of the Yeongsangang Estuary dam, socioeconomic changes after the construction of the Yeongsangang Estuary dam for Myeongsan-ri and Gujinpo, which are representative grilled eel sites along the Yeongsangang River, affected the food consumption space in this area. Myeongsan-ri was very prosperous during the Japanese colonial era as there was a grilled eel restaurant along with an eel canning factory by the Japanese, but after the liberation, the Japanese withdrew from the country and failed to inherit their reputation from the past. Gujinpo has flourished since the 1960s, but its influence has weakened as the construction of the Yeongsangang Estuary dam has shifted from natural eels to cultured eels and formed a large-scale grilled eels food culture. The 4-River Restoration Project was incorporated into the existing shopping district as a road, and some of the restaurant buildings were demolished, and some of them continued to operate by moving places, but some gave up the project, significantly weakening the placeness of food culture in Gujinpo.

Chronic stress is a consistent sense of feeling pressured and overwhelmedfor a long period of time and it has been defined as a maladaptive state thatis associated with altered hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. Thehyperactivity of the HPA axis is commonly assessed by cortisol levels.Physical activity (PA) and exercise have been demonstrated to regulatecortisol patterns in different healthy study populations, but also in BCpatients and survivors. The PA and exercise are related but have distinctconcepts that are commonly misused. Nowadays, the regular practice of PAand exercise has been widely recognized as one main strategy to managechronic stress and its related markers, like cortisol, remains elusive.

Implementation of fuzzy logic model for fish supplier selection
Authors: Didik Pudjo Musmedi  , Yayuk Harini  , Sri Wahyu Lelly Hana Setyanti
Published: September 2022

This study aims to select the best supplier in the Dizma Koi Blitar business by using two variables as indicators of supplier assessment, namely low prices and minimal number of defective products. The data used in this study is secondary data in the form of a history of koi fish purchases to suppliers during the period from January to December 2021.The data analysis method used in this study is fuzzy logic mamdani programming. The results of the study in the form of measuring instruments determining the quality of koi fish suppliers provide calculations of two different sets of prediction data; the first prediction uses two input factors, while the second prediction uses five input variables. Both projections are quite close to the results of the first fish purchase, and the prediction of fish purchases is targeted for each month in 2021. The trial of the program using a price input of IDR 415,000.00 with defective products in one bag of 10 heads turned out to provide the predicted result of the supplier's quality value of 2.5282. The result of the predicted value if converted, the supplier is included in the very good category because with prices that are included in the affordable class and defective products are included in the very low category intervals get an assessment of the quality of suppliers in the very good category. When viewed using MAPE and MSE, the MSA value obtained is 2.3129, this indicates that the error rate in forecasting is very small. The fact that the MAPE value for test data with 2 input factors is the minimum possible value suggests that subsequent predictions can be made more accurately using this model, specifically by using more than 2 input variables.
Reivindicando el valor patrimonial de lo agrario relativo a la industria del azúcar de caña en la región oriental de Málaga
Authors: Ladrón de Guevara Muñoz M. Carmen , Blázquez Parra E. Beatriz , de Cózar Macías Óscar D. , Marín Granados Manuel D
Published: September 2022

En el ámbito de protección del patrimonio, cada vez existen más autores y trabajos que inciden en la necesidad y la importancia de no concebir aisladamente los testigos inmuebles, muebles y territoriales de una determinada actividad a la hora de aplicarle una protección, pues los unos sin los otros no tienen razón de ser.

En la industria de la caña de azúcar esta protección podría en muchos casos incluir el suelo agrario y fuente de materia prima que hizo funcionar dicha industria. De esta forma, la protección tendría efecto por igual sobre los elementos inmuebles (arquitectura), muebles (maquinaria y herramientas) y el territorio (suelo agrario donde se cultivaba la caña que suministraba la fábrica).

El trabajo que se presenta a continuación se centra en la importancia de esta coexistencia entre fábrica-maquinaria-suelo agrario. El estudio se focaliza en una de las fábricas existentes en el litoral este malagueño cuya situación en la actualidad se torna un tanto confusa debida a la ambigüedad de la norma aplicable. Por este motivo, se investiga la evolución del parcelario agrario en el entorno de la fábrica, así como el marco legislativo que da lugar al grado de protección actual ya que podría verse afectado por diversas actividades proyectadas en el municipio a corto-medio plazo.

Se plantea una reflexión sobre la forma de proceder a la hora de proteger el patrimonio agrario en general, y más concretamente aquel vinculado a ciertas industrias que dejaron una profunda huella en el territorio de la Axarquía y sus habitantes.
The Birth of a New Pseudo-Historical Myth in Modern Russia: How Two Revolutions Were Made into One
Authors: Grinëv Andrei V.
Published: September 2022

The branch of public knowledge that is designated as “historical science” has its own mythology. It is based not only on one-sided historical facts, but also on various theoretical concepts. Some historical and theoretical myths are peculiar to individual countries, while others are more widespread, for example, the myth of democracy as the power of the people. Now in Russia there is final approval for the concept of the “Great Russian Revolution of 1917,” which is another pseudoscientific myth that quite happily coexists with the old myth of socialism in the USSR. The new myth enjoys full support from the authorities and is positively accepted by the vast majority of the Russian scholarly community, which is entirely dependent on the state and adapts to its policies quite consciously or by force of habit. This article attempts not only to critically analyze the concept of the “Great Russian Revolution” as another phenomenon of Russian historical mythology, but also to present a different explanation for the events of 1917 in Russia.
Putin’s Rise to Power: Russian Roulette or Elite Pact?
Authors: Petrov Kirill , Kazantsev Andrei , Minchenko Evgeny , Loshkariov Ivan
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the current state of the discussion around transition of power in Russia in 1999-2001. The authors rely both on the patronal approach to show post-Soviet specificity and on the theory of neo-elitism to show its universal features. This transition was the point at which the highly differentiated post-Soviet elite was able to create a fragile base for integration. The article shows that it is possible to apply the theory of the elite pact to the Russian case, but the effects of the pact itself may ultimately differ from the trajectory of movement towards democracy predicted by the neo-elite theory. The trajectory deviates from the given one due to the patronal ribbon structures and the reversibility of the differentiation process. A new form of elite pact in Russia is possible, but the newborn elite coalition is doomed to be unsustainable unless a new constitutional reconsolidation follows.

Escuela, pandemia y tecnologías digitales: experiencias de dos jóvenes estudiantes de nivel medio superior en la Ciudad de México
Authors: Guerrero Salinas María Elsa , Valdivia Sánchez Claudia Patricia
Published: September 2022

Frente a la escasez de estudios que narren las experiencias de los estudiantes de asistir a la escuela durante la pandemia por Covid-19 en México, la presente investigación busca conocer, desde una mirada cualitativa, las experiencias de dos jóvenes estudiantes del nivel medio superior al asistir a sus clases con tecnologías digitales durante el confinamiento. Desde la teoría sociocultural narramos y examinamos las actividades educativas y las diferentes formas en las que participan los estudiantes. Los hallazgos muestran por un lado, que los jóvenes se enfrentan a la saturación de ejercicios, dinámicas tediosas y a una participación limitada al envío y recepción de tareas y por otro, que cuando tuvieron la oportunidad de darle un pequeño giro a sus actividades, lo hicieron. Ello revela que las clases a distancia no representaron grandes transformaciones de lo que sucedía en el formato presencial, lo cual nos lleva a plantearnos nuevos retos para transformar las prácticas educativas.

Design and Characteristics of Axial Magnetic Gear Using Rectangular Magnet
Authors: Syam Sudirman , Kurniati Sri , Ramang Ruslan
Published: September 2022

This experimental study examines the characteristics and performance of axial magnetic gear by using a variation of the rectangular neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnetic layer which is assembled on an acrylic disc. The aim is to reduce magnetic reluctance which can increase torque and facilitate the manufacture of magnetic gear. In addition, it can reduce the use of NdFeB permanent magnets instead of sectoral magnets. An appropriate method for predicting the transmitted torque produced by axial magnetic gears with four rectangular magnetic layers is demonstrated using the output power approach. The results show that the performance of axial magnetic-gear with 4 layers tends to be similar to the performance of a direct drive. Tests on the 2400 rpm rotation with the loading of 200, 300 and 400 ohms respectively showed a maximum torque of 2.24 (Nm) 10-3, 1.56 (Nm) 10-3, and 1.1 (Nm). The results of this paper appear to be useful for the development of axial magnetic-gear industrial applications.

Defining efficient randomised trials in health service and implementation research: development of a conceptual framework
Authors: Xie Charis Xuan
Published: September 2022

In health service and implementation research, randomised trials have been used to examine the delivery, organisation, quality, financing, and outcomes of health care services, policies and programmes. And there has been a growing emphasis on improving trial quality and efficiency; for example, funding bodies such as the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) have been promoting efficient trial design and delivery over the last decade. However, there is a lack of agreement on what is meant by an efficient trial, and it is unclear what are the critical aspects that constitute trial efficiency. Agreeing on a clear definition of trial efficiency is fundamental in trial planning and execution. Being aware of critical attributes that impact trial efficiency allows trialists to prioritise the tasks on enhancing the efficiency of trial conduct, thereby improving the overall quality; Policy makers and funders will be able to detail the guidance on good trial practice and allocate research funding effectively to boost efficiency. In this project, we propose to employ the Delphi technique to achieve expert consensus on the definition and attributes of trial efficiency. The objectives are to 1) review and collate existing discussions on an efficient trial, including definitions of and attributes that constitute an efficient trial; 2)gain expert opinions on the definitions of trial efficiency and the essential aspects that comprise an efficient trial; 3) achieve consensus on what is meant by an efficient trial; 4)develop a conceptual framework for defining/explaining the trial efficiency. This is the final version of the e-Delphi protocol, published as a preprint to create full transparency about the research process.
Konsep Mahabbah Menurut Jalaluddin Rumi
Authors: Syarifin Andi Noor Omar
Published: September 2022

Konsep cinta atau mahabbah saat ini mengalami reduksi makana yang menyebabakan kesalahan aplikasi seseorang terhadap perilaku beragama. Selain itu, mahabbah yang seharusnya mengantarkan kepada pengalaman beragama yang benar dan mencapai tingkatang yang tidak dapat dicapai oleh akal, justru menyesatkan dan membahayakan. Tujuan dari artikel ini menjelaskan konsep mahabbah menurut Jalaluddin Rumi. Penulis menggunakan metode deskriptif untuk menjelaskan konsep mahabbah Rumi; dan menganalisanya dengan pendapat tokoh lain. Hasil dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa, mahabbah atau cinta bukanlah yang diartikan dalam wilayah sempit sebagai cinta secara biologis. Namun, sejatinya cinta atau mahabbah adalah jembatan untuk mencapai sesuatu yang tidak dapat dicapi oleh akal yaitu kedekatan dengan Tuhan. Selain itu, cinta yang hakiki adalah bersumber dari Tuhan. Namun, untuk mencapainya, harus melalui perantara cinta kepada makhluk. Maka di sini dapat disimpulkan bahwa, ccinta yang sesungguhnya adalah bersumber dari Tuhan dan untuk mendapatkannya adalah melalui cinta kepada makhluk dengan tujuan mencapai ma’rifatullah atau mengenal Allah. Karena cinta kepad makhluk menandakan cintanya kepada Sang Pencipta.

Interdependence of Emotion: Conceptualization, Evidence, and Social Implications From Cultural Psychology
Authors: Uchida Yukiko , Nakayama Masataka , Bowen Kimberly
Published: September 2022

People feel a wide range of emotions. In many psychological traditions, emotions are defined as primarily emerging from within the individual, even if influenced by external factors (e.g., approval from other people). This definition is consistent with an independent self-construal. However, in some contexts, emotions are understood to have more interdependent characteristics that can be shared with other people and that arise from social contexts and collective, shared situations. We define the lay theory of interdependence of emotion as the perception that emotional experience or its causes and consequences are shared with other people. Interdependence of emotion can be conceptualized along a spectrum, rather than as categorical. Additionally, the degree to which people understand emotions as interdependent likely varies by cultural context. In this article, we review studies that have investigated this lay theory of emotions across cultures, focusing on function. We suggest that people from non-WEIRD cultures (i.e., cultures that are not Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) are more likely than others to experience emotions as interdependent. Next, we highlight examples of this interdependence, focusing on two specific emotions: happiness and awe, which may have both independent and interdependent elements. The mechanisms and functions of the lay theory of interdependence of emotions are discussed using the example of a current collective threat, COVID-19.
To What Degree Does Rapid Guessing Distort Aggregated Test Scores? A Meta-analytic Investigation
Authors: Rios Joseph , Deng Jiayi , Ihlenfeldt Samuel
Published: September 2022

This meta-analysis sought to quantify the average degree of aggregated test score distortion due to rapid guessing (RG). Included studies group-administered a low-stakes cognitive assessment, identified RG via response times, and either: (a) described the rate of examinees engaging in RG and/or the percentage of RG responses observed; and/or (b) compared filtered and unfiltered data to evaluate the influence of RG on aggregated test scores. The final sample consisted of 25 studies and 39 independent samples comprised of 443,264 unique examinees. Results demonstrated that an average of 28.3% of examinees engaged in RG (21% were deemed to engage in RG on a nonnegligible number of items) and 6.89% of item responses were classified as rapid guesses. Across 100 effect sizes, RG was found to negatively distort aggregated test scores by an average of 0.13 standard deviations; however, this relationship was moderated by both test content area and filtering procedure.
Stochastic Decisions Support Optimal Foraging of Volatile Environments, and are Disrupted by Anxiety
Authors: Lloyd Alex , McKay Ryan , Furl Nicholas
Published: September 2022

When the availability of rewards change unpredictably (i.e., are volatile), exploration may be a critical behaviour for tracking such changes. With the expectation that adolescents (aged 16-17; N=91) would be more adept than adults (24+; N=90) at using exploration to adjust to volatility, we employed a foraging task together with a well-validated computational model to characterise the mechanisms of exploration in volatile environments. We also predicted that anxiety would impair computational mechanisms that facilitate adjustment to environmental volatility. Like the optimal foraging agent, participants exhibited more stochastic (i.e., variable) decision-making in the volatile environment, meaning they more often trialled different responses that facilitated discovery of changes to the environment. Further, adolescents exhibited more stochastic choices than adults, though anxiety impaired the ability to adjust stochasticity between environments in both age groups. Stochasticity may act as a strategy to adapt explore/exploit choices to environmental volatility and might explain increased novelty-seeking during adolescence.
The Role of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions for the Mental Health Consequences of Widowhood during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Van Winkle Zachary , Konechni Bartholomew
Published: September 2022

Spousal loss is associated with immediate declines in mental health. However, the mental health consequences of widowhood during the Covid-19 pandemic have remained largely unexplored. In this research note, we use data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe and fixed effects regression modelling to address three research questions: (1) How has the mental health of older adults changed across time in 10 European countries? (2) Do the surviving spouses of persons who died during the pandemic face greater declines in mental health compared to adults widowed prior to the pandemic? (3) To what extent did the strictness of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) moderate the pandemic widowhood penalty for mental health? We found that feelings of depression increased dramatically for those widowed during the pandemic compared to widowed adults prior to the pandemic. In addition, the pandemic widowhood penalty does not apply to all those who lost their partners during the pandemic, but only to those who lost their partner during periods when strict NPIs were being enforced by governments. Our findings support that notion that the Covid-19 pandemic and strict NPIs exacerbated risk factors and hindered protective factors that affect older adults’ resilience to spousal death.
Corona protests in Germany: insights into a new movement
Authors: Oppermann Daniel
Published: September 2022

In August 2020, the German capital of Berlin became the stage for political manifestations organized by regional and relatively unknown groups of individuals with diverse political agendas. The German government and the public observed smaller and bigger agglomerations of up to 40.000 citizens of different backgrounds articulating themselves critically towards the political and legal measures taken by the government to address the crisis caused by COVID-19. The public perception of these newly identified networks and organizations and their diverging political agendas posed questions to traditional understandings of political mobilization. While policy makers, researchers, the media and the general public are often categorizing political groups or movements into specific sections including left, right, center and others, the newly growing so called “anti-corona” or “corona-sceptical” movement in Germany did not allow an easy categorization at first sight. This chapter will give an overview and a first insight into this newly evolving movement, its political agenda and into its mechanisms of political mobilization. It will be shown, how a heterogeneous mixture of middle class citizens, peace movement activists, right wing extremists, antisemitic conspiracy theorists and others joined a common platform strengthened by social media activism and so called alternative media channels.
Moralizing Supernatural Punishment and Reward: A Response to Critics
Authors: Larson Jennifer , Whitehouse Harvey , François Pieter , Hoyer Daniel , Turchin Peter
Published: September 2022

In this contribution we respond to three critiques of our 2019 article ‘Complex Societies Precede Moralizing Gods throughout World History.’ We clarify that our research does not, as our critics suppose, support the claim that moralizing gods played a decisive role in the development of complex societies. Indeed our goal was to test this claim and we found it wanting. Our methods ‘reduce’ neither religion or social complexity in the ways claimed, while our tentative conclusions about the relationship between frequent, routinized ritual and social cohesion are supported by much research beyond the paper under discussion. In the Roman Empire, many forms of collective ritual contributed to the propagation of Romanitas. We have never claimed that this depended on absolute uniformity of belief. Other misconceptions about our supposedly ‘inattentive’ qualitative analysis result from misreadings of information in our open-access database, which functions as an evolving set of information relevant to specific research questions rather than a general encyclopedia. Despite these disagreements, we continue to maintain that neither qualitative historical methods nor quantitative analytic approaches alone can produce satisfying answers to causal questions about world history. The best approach, we argue, is to integrate the insights from humanities with ‘Big Data’ analyses from social science, and we welcome continued engagement and collaboration across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Intergenerational Mobility in Income and Consumption: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Zafar Rafia
Published: September 2022

This paper estimates absolute and relative intergenerational mobility for Indonesia. My preferred estimates that address both measurement error bias and life-cycle bias show lower intergenerational mobility than standard estimates. I also examine absolute mobility, which separates upward mobility from downward mobility. At the bottom of both the income and consumption distribution, I find lower absolute intergenerational mobility compared to people at the top of the distribution. This paper makes a unique contribution to the literature by showing that household survey data on income and consumption can facilitate reliable estimates for intergenerational mobility in developing countries.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: The severity of the chronic liver disease can be assessed by several non-invasive methods one of them includes scoring system like Child-Pugh classification.

Aims: The objective of this study was to assess the correlation of Child Pugh class with esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study of 406 patients with liver cirrhosis. Demographic and relevant clinical data were collected using a standardized questionnaire. Abdominal ultrasound, liver function test, full blood count, viral markers were done for all patients. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to screen for varices and if found were categorized as small and large.

Results: A total of 406 patients with a mean age of 48 ± 11 years were evaluated. There were 72.4% and 27.6% men and women respectively. Variceal screening by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed esophageal varices in 90.1% patients. By Child-Pugh Classification, 60 (14.8%) patients were in class A, 156 (38.4%) in class B and 190 (46.8%) in class C. Among patients with Child class A, 29 (48.3%) had varices. Similarly, 147 (94.2%) and 190 (100%) of Child class B & C had varices respectively. Odds of presence of esophageal varix were 9 times higher for patients with Child-Pugh Classification B and C compared to class A.

Conclusion: Most patients with cirrhosis present late and with advanced stage in this referral center. Most have esophageal varices on their first screening endoscopy. Child-Pugh classification is a reliable measure of stratifying variceal risk in chronic liver disease patients.
