Authors: Rosas-Silva Carolina , Córdoba-Cely Carlos
Published: January 2024

Este artículo presenta en primer lugar un marco teórico para definir las denominadas ‘tecnologías sociales’, así como el concepto de ‘gobernanza de datos’ desde las ciencias sociales, con el fin de proponer la existencia de una relación simbiótica entre la obtención de datos pertinentes por parte de una comunidad y su respectivo empoderamiento expresado en acción social y política. En segundo lugar, se presenta el estudio de caso denominado WAYRAKIT, como un ejemplo de tecnología social aplicada a gobernanza de datos ambientales. Para esto, se detallarán las características del dispositivo electrónico, la intervención realizada con voluntarios en la ciudad de Pasto (Colombia) en el proceso de prototipado social. En tercer lugar, se discuten los resultados obtenidos y se concluye que la gobernanza de datos puede ser el proceso más adecuado para la apropiación pertinente de una tecnología si se tienen en cuenta tres capacidades de gestión de la información en el dispositivo: Capacidad de visión, como la posibilidad de identificar la importancia de los datos; Capacidad de voz, como la posibilidad para interactuar activamente con los datos; y Capacidad de voluntad, como la posibilidad de llevar los datos a la acción política para implementar cambios en las instituciones.
Diet of a Population of Prairie Rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis) in Kansas
Authors: Rothe-Groleau Colleen
Published: January 2024

This study examined prey items consumed and seasonal feeding events within a Prairie Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis) population near Ulysses, Kansas, USA. A total of 183 specimens were collected over a period of three consecutive years (2012‒2015) during the active season from April to October. Most prey items consumed by this population were taken in spring between emergence from hibernacula and mating in early summer. Gravid females continued to take prey, likely opportunistically, while gestating. The only ontogenetic shift in diet composition was related directly to prey size. Larger snakes exhibited a preference for larger prey items. The two most abundant taxa in the diet of this population were Peromyscus spp (29.8%) and Sylvilagus spp (17.0%). Only one juvenile had consumed any prey within a week of capture.
СОЦИАЛЬНОЕ ПРОСТРАНСТВО РЕГИОНОВ КАК ФАКТОР РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ СОЦИАЛЬНЫХ НЕРАВЕНСТВ: КАЧЕСТВЕННЫЙ И КОЛИЧЕСТВЕННЫЙ ПОДХОД
Authors: Гусейнова Ксения Эльдаровна
Published: January 2024

Целью исследования является оценка состояния социального пространства регионов в контексте регулирования социальных неравенств.

Методология и методы. В статье представлены результаты поискового исследования с использованием качественного и количественного видов анализа. В качестве эмпирической базы были использованы данные рейтингов Фонда «Петербургская политика» за 2019 и 2021–22 года, а также результаты массового опроса (грант РНФ (№19-18-00345)), проведенного в 12 регионах России. В качестве единого анализа выступили основные события социально-политической жизни регионов, несущих в себе как положительную, так и отрицательную коннотацию. Анализ состояния социального пространства регионов осуществлялся по двум направлениям: посредством оценки состояния дел в 32 жизненно важных сферах общественной жизни и отбора основных социально-политических событий в регионах.

Результаты исследования. Данные, полученные в ходе исследования, частично подтвердили гипотезу о наличии связи между теми сферами жизни, которые оцениваются населением наиболее позитивно или, наоборот, негативно и их частичным либо полным совпадением с основными социально-политическими событиями в этих регионах. В условиях имеющихся социально-экономических и социокультурных неравенств события социально-политической жизни регионов являются отражением, а порой и следствием нерешенных проблем. Деятельность органов власти и управления, направленная на их решение, не всегда оказывается эффективной. В результате вместо регулирования социального неравенства происходит его усиление, что в свою очередь может привести к росту социальной дистанции между властью и обществом, потере обратной связи и росту недовольства со стороны населения. Подобные процессы могут оказывать определенное воздействие на организацию социального пространства, его границы и возможности.

‘Infidels’ on the Internet: Pakistan’s Social Media ‘Cancel Culture’ During the Pandemic
Authors: Uddin Sadia
Published: January 2024

This paper explores how the pandemic intersects with religious nationalism in Pakistan and isolates vulnerable groups through the use of its colonial-era Blasphemy Laws. Using the August 2020 case of a music video shoot inside a mosque, the paper emphasizes the role of social media ‘cancel culture’ in mobilizing these laws to persecute ‘wrongdoers’ in the name of ‘Islam’. The paper confronts power relations and creates new knowledge to challenge prevailing hegemonic structures by exploring the selective applicability of cancel culture and the Blasphemy Laws.
Digital Resistance to Asian-American Hate during COVID-19: Study of Photography and Art on Instagram
Authors: Narayanamoorthy Nanditha
Published: January 2024

In this research, I study the digital resistance to Asian-American hate, isolation, alienation, and ‘othering’ visibilized during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-21 in the Global North. Specifically, I draw attention to the role of personal and artistic representations of Asian female bodies that perform both a resistance to hate, in the context of the pandemic, and an affirmation of ethnic and racial heritage and belonging of the self in North America. Through the engagement with #stopasianhate and #haterisavirus hashtags on Instagram, I uncover the rejection of historic and contemporary racial and gendered violence, harassment, xenophobia, and othering that emerges through visual activism and personal and artistic performativity online. I focus on the interplay between body politics and anti-racist feminist digital activism in order to understand how performativity of the self through photography and art can empower Asian-American female bodies.
Animated Life Writing
Authors: Petryna Brandon
Published: January 2024

This paper proposes that the medium of animation enriches the narrative portrayal of lived experiences. Despite the rise in popularity of animation as a tool for storytelling on digital video sharing platforms, as of yet, little scholarship explores the impacts of animation on life writing narratives. In an encounter with animation production, I develop an original example of these animated narratives which I term animated life writing. Through the approaches of critical making and research in practice, by which I have created an accompanying animated video, the benefits and drawbacks of animation are explored with a particular focus on embodiment in life writing and the liveliness that is generated by cartoons.

Contract Chatters of Russian Grand and Appanage Princes of the 14th–15th Centuries as a Source of Knowledge for the History of Russian Criminal Law Development
Authors: Shatalov E. A.
Published: January 2024

The paper examines the value of the contract charters of the Russian Grand and Appanage Princes of the 14th–15th centuries for the national historical and legal science. During the period of feudal fragmentation, the charters formed one of the most important sources of criminal law in medieval Russia. It was the charters that enshrined the fundamental criminal law terms and elucidated the main elements of crimes, namely: «svada», «rubezh», «vyvod», etc., which have not yet been studied and described properly. The problem of their poor academic coverage gives rise to misconceptions in modern science of the history of the Russian state and law that a criminal act, up to the development of the Judicial Code in 1497, was designated in Russian legislation only by the term «obida [offense]».

The author focuses on the patterns of development of princely law-making activity under the influence of the norms of canon law, which was a characteristic feature of medieval Russia, where there was no division of public relations into «secular» and «ecclesiastical», as it is customary to assert and consider in scholarship, since princely law, also in matters of crime and punishment fully reflected the spiritual and religious values of society and should not contradict them, and the administrative activities of the princes were everywhere subordinated to church canons.
Currency Regulation as a Tool to Secure the State Sovereignty of the Russian Federation in the context of Global Challenges
Authors: Omelchenko A. G.
Published: January 2024

The paper is devoted to the study of the transformation of the currency regulation of the Russian Federation in the context of countering international financial sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other unfriendly states and international organizations. Based on the results of the study, the paper identifies the main tasks of currency regulation at the present stage of historical development. It is proved that the provisions of federal laws No. 281-FZ dated 130 December 2006 «On Special Economic Measures and Coercive Measures», No. 390-FZ dated 28 December 2010 «On Security» and No. 127-FZ dated 6 April 2018 «On Measures of influence (Counteraction) the unfriendly actions of the United States of America and other foreign states», on the basis of which currency restrictions are established, can be attributed to currency legislation within their relevant parts. It is noted that to date, subordinate regulatory legal acts (primarily of the President of the Russian Federation) have begun to play a leading role in the legal regulation of currency relations. It is concluded that it is necessary to find a balance between public and private interests in the process of regulating currency relations. The author substantiates the necessity of adopting a new basic law consolidating the foundations of currency regulation and currency control.

Creation of a model for training the communication skills of medical specialists
Authors: Shubina Lyubov B. , Lopatin Zakhar V.
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Effective interaction between medical workers and patients is not only a service function but also influences compliance with the implementation of recommendations for the prevention and treatment of diseases. The communicative competence of healthcare professionals affects treatment effectiveness and the success of health-preserving measures.
AIM: To examine the problems associated with the formation of communicative competence and determine the fundamental principles of the model of communicative skills of a medical worker.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature review of 32 domestic and 54 foreign publications on teaching communication in medicine was performed. The work of an expert focus group within the framework of a strategic session on communication skills “A coordinated approach to teaching communication skills in medicine” was analyzed.
RESULTS: During the work of the focus group, experts reviewed and specified the main shortcomings in the work of medical personnel in ensuring communication with the patient. In the second part of the focus group work, based on communication defects, four blocks of skills were developed to avoid communication errors. Because of a review of literature data and a generalization of the results of the work of experts, a prototype model of the communication skills of a medical worker was proposed.
CONCLUSIONS: Existing models of medical communication must adapt to national characteristics based on research and joint discussions. The authors propose using fundamental principles of the model of communication skills of a medical worker in educational programs of higher and additional professional education, as outlined in this article.
Unraveling the Preparatory Processes of the 2023 Mw 7.8–7.6 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Doublet
Authors: Yin Fengling , Jiang Changsheng
Published: January 2024

Within a span of 9 hr on 6 February 2023, two significant earthquakes, with magnitudes of Mw 7.8 and 7.6, struck the southeastern part of Türkiye and the northern region of Syria, resulting in significant casualties and widespread economic losses. The occurrence of such intense earthquakes in rapid succession on adjacent faults, especially within a highly complex intraplate region with a multifault network, poses a rare phenomenon, presenting new challenges for seismic hazard analysis in such areas. To investigate whether the preparatory processes for the Mw 7.8–7.6 earthquake doublet could be identified on a large spatial scale prior to the seismic events, we employed a data-driven approach for b-value calculation. The difference in b-values from the background values (Δb) in a reference period were used as inputs, and the cumulative migration pattern (CMP) method, quantitatively describing the migration of seismic activity, was utilized to calculate the corresponding probability distributions. The results indicate a widespread phenomenon of decreasing b-values in the study area over a decade before the occurrence of the earthquake doublet, revealing a significant enhancement of differential crustal stress over a large region. In addition, despite not being the region with the most pronounced decrease in b-values, there is a distinct high probability distribution of CMP near the nucleation points of the earthquake doublet, indicating a spatial and temporal “focus” of increased crustal differential stress in the study area, unveiling the preparatory process of the earthquake doublet. This study reveals quantifiable migration patterns over a long time scale and a large spatial extent, providing new insights into the evolution and occurrence processes of the 2023 Mw 7.8–7.6 Kahramanmaraş earthquake doublet. Moreover, it offers potential clues for seismic hazard analysis in such intraplate regions with multiple fault systems.

Endocrine causes of recurrent pregnancy loss in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder
Authors: Kharun I.L. , Kaminskiy A.V.
Published: January 2024

Clarification of the etiology of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), elucidating the reasons for the increase in repeated reproductive losses are an urgent topic that requires more detailed research attention. An analytical review was performed to effectively delineate our research field: research articles, analytical notes, clinical protocols, monographic studies, Cochrane systematic reviews with meta-analysis, data from population-based retrospective cohort studies, etc. A review of the listed literature sources and an analysis of the available data on the association between endocrine dysfunction, post-traumatic stress disorder and the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome were performed. Research in this area will be important for understanding the mechanisms that cause RPL, for the development of effective prevention and treatment strategies aimed at improving the reproductive health of women with traumatic experience of RPL.The frequency of premature termination of pregnancy is 10–25%, the part of RPL in this segment is more than 5%. Unfortunately, there are currently no positive developments regarding the reduction of the RPL frequency. The data of modern cohort studies show the RPL causes: endocrine disorders of the reproductive system; genetic factors, erased forms of adrenal gland dysfunction; lesions of the endometrium receptor apparatus, which are clinically manifested in the luteal phase insufficiency; chronic endometritis with persistence of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and/or viruses; cervical insufficiency; uterine malformations, intrauterine synechiae; antiphospholipid syndrome and other autoimmune disorders.Endocrine disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperandrogenism, hyperprolactinemia, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus were analyzed to establish the association between endocrine dysfunction and RPL.The importance of a holistic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of RPL has been demonstrated.

Vascular growth factors of the placenta, apoptosis of blood neutrophils in pregnant women with post-COVID syndrome
Authors: Boichuk A.V. , Yakymchuk Y.B. , Shevchuk O.O. , Vari Sandor G.
Published: January 2024

Research objectives: to determine the activity of vascular placental growth factors, apoptosis and necrosis of neutrophils in the blood of pregnant women with post-COVID syndrome.Methods and materials. 30 pregnant women (the main group) with SARS-CoV-2, positive Ig A, M or G to SARS-CoV-2 at 30–34 weeks of pregnancy took part in the study. The control group consisted of 30 women with physiological pregnancy.Blood neutrophils were studied by flow cytofluorometry. The proportion of neutrophils that were at the stage of apoptosis and necrosis was determined. The correlation of these indicators with the uncomplicated course of the gestational process during the physiological course of pregnancy and with the development of gestational complications against the background of post-COVID syndrome was determined.In the third trimester of pregnancy, we collected blood samples to determine the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on placental angiogenesis. We evaluated a panel of biomarkers: vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), placental growth factor PlGF, and interleukin-32α (IL-32α).Results. In pregnant women of the main group with a complicated course of pregnancy accompanied by post-COVID syndrome, apoptosis was at the level of 24.30 ± 0.50% of neutrophil cells, which was significantly different from the control group (4.45 ± 0.25%) (р < 0.001). The level of late apoptosis, necrosis of neutrophils increased 4 times – from 4.20 ± 0.65 to 16.80 ± 0.54% (р < 0.001). The concentration of IL-32α in pregnant women of the control group was 67.27 ± 5.63 pg/ml. Post-COVID syndrome caused an increase in this indicator in the main group by 2.8 times compared to the control group (188.36 ± 25.22 pg/ml) (p < 0.001). In the III trimester, the concentration of VEGF reached maximum values in the main group and was 192.20 ± 10.02 pg/ml, which is 2 times higher than in the control group at the same time (95.30 ± 5.65 pg/ml), (p < 0.001). In the control group the level of PIGF at full-term pregnancy was 144.53 ± 15.55 pg/ml. In women with postpartum syndrome, PIGF significantly decreased and was 43.92 ± 4.81 pg/ml, which was only 30% of the PIGF value in women with an uncomplicated pregnancy (p < 0.001).Conclusions. The development of metabolic disorders and apoptotic changes in the placental tissue are confirmed at the morphological level in the form of destructive and necrotic changes in the microcirculatory channel of the placenta. An increase in the level of annexin-positive neutrophils and activation of the degree of neutrophil necrosis is accompanied by fetoplacental dysfunction, by violation of the balance of placental growth factors and is an important marker for predicting of fetal growth retardation in pregnant women with post-COVID syndrome.
A DIGNIDADE HUMANA A PARTIR DE UMA ÉTICA DO TESTEMUNHO: Entre a desumanização, o relato e a corporeidade
Authors: Silva Paulo Henrique Araújo da , Matos Saulo Monteiro Martinho de
Published: January 2024

A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo, este artigo busca identificar o potencial do relato de reformular a teoria moral da dignidade humana, tornando a normatividade dela decorrente sensível às peculiaridades das minorias sociais. Este trabalho, dentre várias outras produções, tem como referencial teórico principal a obra Torture and Dignity: An Essay on Moral Injury (2015), de Jay Bernstein, além de utilizar, para fins de compreensão do caráter intergeracional do relato, o livro O que os cegos estão sonhando? (2012), organizada por Noemi Jaffe. Estabelecido tal panorama, busca-se discutir a hipótese de que o relato possui funções subjetivas, morais e sociais que, juntas, são capazes de fazer com que o indivíduo retome o controle de seu corpo após experiências de degradação, senso de corporeidade esse que, ao tornar igualmente relevantes os aspectos voluntário e involuntário do ser, tornam contextuais as concepções de dignidade humana e de Direitos Humanos.

Published: January 2024

Contextualizar os processos oriundos de um período pandêmico é reconhecer que, para a nossa sociedade, o que vivemos com a pandemia da Covid-19 foi, de fato, inédito e histórico. Além de apresentar um cenário de acúmulo de emoções, mudança de rotina e sentimentos de medo e angústias, uma nova forma de interação social e trabalho precisou ser vivenciada. Assim, verificamos a importância de levantar reflexões acerca da maternidade vivenciada no contexto de isolamento social pelas mulheres que são mães discentes e que precisaram conciliar suas atividades de cuidados diários com os estudos acadêmicos. É fundamental refletir sobre como funcionou o ambiente universitário no formato virtual e como tem sido o processo de retorno às aulas presenciais. Desse modo, neste artigo, o objetivo é apresentar reflexões acerca dos efeitos que o isolamento social no contexto da Covid-19 pode ter gerado à saúde mental de mulheres que são mães e universitárias. Tal texto compõe o levantamento bibliográfico do projeto de pesquisa “Atenção à saúde mental de mães universitárias no contexto da Covid-19”, realizado no curso de Psicologia da Universidade Federal do Pará. Acreditamos ser possível vivenciar no ambiente acadêmico aquilo que consideramos uma clínica da situação contemporânea e que colabora para a criação de espaços de acolhimento dentro da Universidade. No caso específico desta pesquisa, buscamos um acolhimento voltado para as mães universitárias que buscam permanecer nesses espaços, mesmo diante de tantos desafios.

Authors: Coelho Suzany Campos
Published: January 2024

This article addresses the proposal of verticalization of teaching, characteristic of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology. The objective was to discuss conceptual and practical aspects related to this curricular conception. This is an exploratory study, based on bibliographical sources, carried out within the scope of the elaboration of our master's research. Initially, a history of Brazilian educational policies related to vocational education is discussed. Next, the history related to the emergence of the Federal Institutes is presented, showing that the philosophical-educational foundation present in the IF's proposes to overcome the traditionally cultivated dichotomy between technical training X academic training. Finally, some of the challenges found regarding the issue of verticalization are pointed out, approaching the conceptual view, and bringing reflective insights into the meaning of the proposed verticalization of teaching, showing that this is not restricted to the simple availability of the possibility of attending the various stages training courses, in multiple areas, in a single institution.

Published: January 2024

Young-onset type 2 diabetes (YOD), defined as diabetes diagnosis before age 40, has an aggressive clinical course with premature mortality, in part due to long disease duration and lack of evidence to guide diagnosis and management. Autoimmune type 1 diabetes, maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) are subtypes of diabetes in young people, which, however, cannot fully explain their complex clinical course. Similarly, family members carrying the same rare genetic variant of monogenic diabetes can have different presentations and outcomes. Ancestral heterogeneity, ecological transition, inter-ethnic differences in genomic architecture, and variations in living environment, lifestyles, access to care, and timeliness of diagnosis and treatment can influence the age of diagnosis and exposure to these cardiometabolic-renal risk factors. Despite the wealth of literature on genetic associations with diabetes, the familial cosegregation of rare variants and their relevance to YOD remains uncertain. This perspective was motivated by decades of clinical observations and learnings from an ongoing randomized controlled trial that uses biogenetic markers to classify patients with YOD for improving outcomes. Apart from highlighting the need to use family-based studies to improve the precision of diagnosis, we discussed atypical causes for diabetic ketoacidosis and the importance of lifecourse and psychosocial-behavioral factors in patients with YOD. Apart from detailed clinical evaluation, we propose using plasma C peptide, homeostasis model of assessment (HOMA) indexes, autoantibodies, and polygenic risk scores to stratify risk, classify diabetes subtypes, and personalize treatment in YOD. To achieve these goals, we advocate changing the practice environment and team structure to enable physicians to use the insights they learn from patients and their family members to implement precision medicine and improve the outlook of these high-risk individuals.
A Modification to the Remotely Sensed Active Layer Thickness (ReSALT) Algorithm to have Self-Consistency
Authors: Mathur Jatin
Published: January 2024

Permafrost thaw is an important aspect of Earth's carbon cycles. Initial estimates suggest that permafrost thaw could contribute anywhere between 20 to 500 Gt of CO2-eq by 2100. These estimates are all fundamentally centered around one number: active layer thickness (ALT). The deeper the ALT, the more emissions. Unfortunately, ALT is a highly spatially heterogeneous number and determined by numerous thermal, soil hydrology, and geomorphological effects. The remotely sensed active layer thickness (ReSALT) algorithm was introduced in 2010 to provide scientists with a way to model ALT heterogeneously at meter-scale resolution. However, upon inspection, this work shows that ReSALT's modeling approach is self-inconsistent. This work then introduces SCReSALT (Self-Consistent ReSALT) to solve that problem. Experimental comparisons to a past study in Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska show significant improvement and suggest that SCReSALT should replace ReSALT.

Performance of the overhead squat may affect golf swing mechanics associated with golf-related low back pain. This study investigates the difference in lumbar kinematics and joint loads during the golf downswing between golfers with different overhead squat abilities. Based on the per-formance of the overhead squat test, 21 golfers aged 18 to 30 years were divided into the highest-scoring group (HS, N=10, 1.61 ± 0.05 cm, and 68.06 ± 13.67 kg) and lowest-scoring group (LS, N=11, 1.68 ± 0.10 cm, and 75.00 ± 14.37 kg). Data collection used a motion analysis system, two force plates, and TrackMan. OpenSim software was used to simulate the joint loads for each lum-bar joint. An independent t-test was used for statistical analysis. Compared to golfers demonstrat-ing limitations in the overhead squat test, golfers with better performance in the overhead squat test demonstrated significantly greater angular extension displacement on the sagittal plane, smaller lumbar extension angular velocity, and smaller L4-S1 joint shear force. Consequently, the overhead squat test is found to be a useful index to reflect lumbar kinematics and joint loading patterns during the downswing, and provides a good training guide reference for reducing the risk of a golf-related low back injury

ABSTRACTGiven the imperative of security, sustainability of supply, strategic considerations, and energy independence, there is a widely acknowledged need to persist in utilizing coal as the primary fuel for electricity generation in power plants. However, in order to combat the rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, it is crucial to advance the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies that enable fossil fuel power plants to achieve zero emissions. These technologies play a pivotal role in capturing and effectively storing CO2, thus ensuring that coal-based power generation can continue while significantly reducing its environmental impact. By implementing CCS solutions, fossil fuel power plants can transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy future.The utilization of chemical solvents for CO2 absorption, coupled with long-term storage, presents an intriguing and commercially viable technology for CO2 capture. However, the significant energy demands of the solvent regeneration process necessitate optimization, particularly in large-scale power plants. While the current cost of CO2 capture stands at approximately #55,000.00(Naira) per ton of CO2, the objective is to reduce this cost to below #25,000.00(Naira) per ton of CO2. This reduction in cost is essential to ensure the economic feasibility and widespread adoption of CO2 capture technologies in power generation.This research paper explores various approaches to address the energy demands associated with amine scrubbing integration in a commercial power plant. It provides a comprehensive analysis, both technically and economically, of the performance of these different approaches. While some of the proposed schemes may result in minor efficiency reductions, the key objective is to calculate the specific cost per ton of CO2 captured. The primary focus is on identifying the most suitable configuration to implement large-scale, cost-effective schemes that can serve as a foundation for CO2 capture demonstration projects. By determining the optimal configuration, this research aims to pave the way for the successful implementation of efficient and economically viable CO2 capture technologies in the power generation sector.

The precise mathematical description of gaze patterns is still an unsettled matter of debate. This can, consequently, affect the analysis of this type of data in its practical applications. In this scope, we show evidence that a Lévy-flight description of eye-gaze trajectories is not only appropriate but its scale invariant properties are remarkably useful to assist in diagnosing children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), alongside with the usual cognitive tests. Using this picture, we find that the distribution of the characteristic exponent of Lévy-flights statistically is different in children with ADHD. Furthermore, we observe that these children deviate from a strategy that is considered optimal for searching processes, in contrast to non-ADHD children. We focus on the case where both eye-tracking data and data from a cognitive test are present and show that the study of gaze patterns in children with ADHD can help in identifying this condition. Since eye-tracking data can be gathered during cognitive tests without needing extra time-consuming specific tasks, we argue that it is in prime position to provide assistance in the arduous task of ADHD diagnosing.
Challenges to Water Resource Management—Role of Economic and Modeling Approaches
Authors: Dinar Ariel
Published: January 2024

The field of water management is continually changing. Water has been subject to external shocks in the form of climate change and globalization. Analysis of water management is subject to disciplinary developments and inter-disciplinary interactions. Are these developments well documented in the literature? Initial observations on interdisciplinary literature suggest that results are fragmented, implying that a state-of-the-art review is needed. The objective of this paper is to close this gap by reviewing recent developments in water economics that address the increasing perceptions of water scarcity by looking first at changes in supply and quality of water, and then at impacts of climate change on water extremes. Among responses to such challenges, the paper identifies changes to water use patterns by including and co-managing water from different sources—surface and groundwater, wastewater, and desalinated water. Technological advancements also are among the resources that address water challenges. Water challenges reflect also on management of internationally shared water. A recent surge in scientific work identified international treaties as playing a significant role in water management. The paper reviews recently employed economic tools, such as experimental economics, game theory, institutional economics, and valuation methods. And finally, it explores modeling approaches, including hydro-economic and computable general equilibrium models that are being used to deal with water challenges.

Infant hepatitis B vaccine coverage in China is high, with over 95% of infants immunized; however, high vaccine coverage can often mask low timeliness. The vaccination interval between the second and third dose is not clearly defined by immunization guidelines in China. This retrospective cohort study assessed the time interval distribution of hepatitis B vaccination among a cohort of randomly selected live births from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention across four provinces or municipalities in China between January 2017 and December 2021. Among the infants analyzed, 163,224 received the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine with 146,905 (90.0%) and 135,757 (83.2%) infants receiving the second and third doses, respectively. A total of 132,577 (90.2%) infants received the second dose between 28–61 days after the first dose. Of the 119,437 (88.0%) infants that completed the hepatitis B series between 61–214 days after the second dose, 87,067 (64.1%) infants were vaccinated with the third dose between 151–180 days after the second dose. The time interval distribution for the three doses of hepatitis B vaccine varied across the four provinces or municipalities (P<0.001). Of the 58,077 infants who completed the hepatitis B vaccine series, 36,377 (62.6%) infants used the same type of hepatitis B vaccine for all three doses. Overall, the timeliness of hepatitis B vaccination for infants was lower than expected, with regional disparities observed. This highlights the need for improved timeliness through the introduction of a defined timeframe for the last two doses of vaccine, and training for obstetricians and related personnel.
