El presente trabajo persiguió evaluar los factores de riesgo cardiovascular, el síndrome metabólico, así como la FEVI en pacientes con LES; y una correlación de estos factores con la actividad de la enfermedad. El estudio fue de tipo retrospectivo. Se incluyeron 42 pacientes, de ellos 37 mujeres y 5 hombres. El grupo de control fue de 20 mujeres y 3 hombres sin lupus. Los resultados evidenciaron que, las alteraciones del IMC > 25 kg/m2 fue más frecuente en el grupo de LES, pero no fue estadísticamente significativo (60 % vs. 61 %,). En cuanto al tratamiento con corticosteroides, los pacientes en LES mostraron una puntuación QRISK®3 significativamente más alta (21.48 ± 13.42 vs. 12.59 ± 8.92), colesterol total (239.59 ± 72.36 vs. 165.81 ± 42.94) y HDL (35.42±12.95 frente a 51.84±15.23). Sin embargo, no se halló significancia estadística. Los valores de FEVI fueron más bajos en los pacientes con lupus (51.48 % ± 7.82 vs. 62.05 % ± 5.42) p = 0.0475. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con LES tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades cardiovasculares a medida que se incrementa el SLEDAI-2K, por lo que se recomiendan estudios en estos grupos específicos de pacientes.

El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo investigar los principales factores asociados al desarrollo de hemorragia cerebral en el contexto de trombólisis farmacológica en una cohorte latinoamericana, en una unidad de cuidados neurocríticos. Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de los factores de riesgo relacionados y reclutados. El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante ANOVA para las variables cuantitativas, y chi-cuadrado para las variables cualitativas. Se estudiaron 52 pacientes con accidente cerebrovascular isquémico agudo, tratados con activador del plasminógeno de tipo tisular recombinante (rt-PA) dentro de las 4.5 h posteriores al inicio de los síntomas. Los resultados mostraron que, la edad ≥ 70 años, el tabaquismo, la fibrilación auricular, la puntuación NIHSS antes de la trombólisis ≥ 20 y la presión sistólica al ingreso y a las 2 h después de la trombólisis (mmHg) ≥ 160 aumentaron los riesgos de transformación hemorrágica, después de la administración de rt-PA. Conclusiones: una mejor caracterización de los pacientes permitirá dirigir estrategias poblacionales en estas cohortes de forma más individualizada, para así reducir la morbimortalidad de estos pacientes, estratificándolos adecuadamente acorde a sus características.
Exploring the neuropsychological basis of behavioral contagion during learning about another agent’s social preferences: Evidence from an ERP study
Authors: Deldoost Mostafa , Khosrowabadi Reza , Kamiński Maciej
Published: June 2024

Social contagion is a pervasive phenomenon and an important social influence that involves the rapid dissemination (propagation) of behaviors, attitudes, emotions, or ideas from one person to another, often without conscious reflection or rational thought. This phenomenon is closely related to conformity, by which a person changes his/her original ideas and attitude and imitates certain behavior of others. Although some behavioral research has been carried out on contagion and conformity, there is very little neuropsychological understanding of these phenomena. Existing research on social influence and conformity has predominantly focused on tasks like mental rotation or rating tasks involving facial expressions, with fewer studies exploring risk preferences and temporal discounting. However, there is a notable gap in the literature when it comes to examining social influence and conformity using other‑regarding preferencemodels derived from heterodox economics. To address this research gap, the present study investigates the neuropsychological underpinnings of social contagion by utilizing event‑related potentials (ERPs) recorded while subjects engage in mini‑dictator games. The behavioral analysis revealed that contagion had an impact on the participants’ preferences, leading to a change in their choices. We observed a P300 component in the midline and right posterior during the time window of 200‑350 ms after stimulus onset, which showed a significant increase in mean amplitude when participants observed others’ behavior, compared to when they made decisions based on their own preferences. Moreover, the lack of late positive potential in the time window of 500‑650 ms suggests that the presence of P300 may indicate difficulty in making decisions. In summary, by analyzing both behavioral and ERP data, this study may provide a more comprehensive understanding of the cognitive and neural processes that drive conformity and contagion behavior. Our analysis has the potential to inform policymakers in developing effective interventions for promoting positive social behaviors and reducing negative ones.

Provisioning the external infrastructure for Cyberspace Operations. A spotlight on Russian APT groups
Authors: Villalon-huerta Antonio , Ripoll-ripoll Ismael , Marco-gisbert Hector
Published: June 2024

Advanced threat actors conduncting operations in cyberspace require the utilization of external infrastructure. This referes to elements of infrastructure available on the Internet, situated outside the target’s own premises. The analysis of this infrastructure and the techniques employed to bring it to full operational capacity constitute a pivotal factor in characterizing threat actors and their operations. However, the majority of the existing scientific and technical literature found focuses on internal infrastructure elements, particularly on malware implants, as well as on the tactics and techniques employed by the threat actor within their victim’s infrastructure. In this work a comprehensive analysis of this external infrastructure and its provisioning techniques is presented. While our research has primarily concentrated on Russian APT groups and their operations, our findings are equally applicable to all advanced groups and operations. The outcomes of our study can greatly assist analysts in characterizing these groups and their operations, especially with regards to attribution efforts. Our proposal follows a logical structure that can be easy to expand and adapt, and it can be used to improve commonly accepted industry standards such as MITRE ATT&CK.

Published: June 2024

O objetivo foi avaliar a relação entre faixa etária e alterações cardíacas. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo e transversal, em uma amostra de indivíduos adultos por conveniência (n=96), de ambos os sexos, atendidos em uma Clinica Cardiológica, entre agosto e dezembro de 2019. Os indivíduos foram divididos em três grupos, sendo: adulto jovem (25-44 anos), adulto (45-59 anos) e idoso (>60 anos). As variáveis ecocardiográficas de morfologia e função cardíaca, bem como as características gerais, foram comparadas entre os grupos (One Way ANOVA para grupos independentes). O grupo idoso demonstrou maiores valores de IMC e menor pressão arterial diastólica quando comparado ao grupo jovem. Com relação as variáveis cardíacas, tanto o grupo adulto quanto o idoso demonstraram aumentos do átrio esquerdo e da espessura diastólica do septo intraventricular e da parede posterior do VE quando comparados ao grupo jovem. No grupo idoso, a massa do VE, o diâmetro do VD e a espessura diastólica da parede posterior também se mostraram elevados. Os grupos adulto e idoso apresentaram redução da relação E/A e aumento no tempo de desaceleração da onda E com relação ao grupo jovem. A razão E/e’ também foi elevada no grupo idoso. Em conclusão, as faixas etárias adulta e idosa foram associadas com alterações morfológicas do coração e disfunção diastólica do VE, as quais parecem se relacionar com a presença de hipertensão arterial e excesso de peso associadas ao envelhecimento.

Cyclone Vulnerability Assessment of Coastal Odisha: A Sub-district Level Analysis
Authors: Das Suryaprava , Das Sibabrata
Published: June 2024

Tropical cyclones have the potential of unleashing havoc on ecosystems, infrastructure, and even individuals. Situated in the eastern region of India, Odisha, an Indian constituent state, shares its eastern border with the Bay of Bengal. Owing to its extensive coastline of more than 450 kms, the state is vulnerable to cyclones. Conducting a comprehensive vulnerability assessment in the coastal districts as well as Community Development (CD) blocks of Odisha would help ascertain the level of vulnerability and provide a deeper understanding of households’ capacity to adjust to this extreme event. With quick advancements in a variety of data availability and processing techniques, the use of remote sensing and spatial analysis has risen dramatically to control the effects of catastrophic disasters on the ground. Existing coastal vulnerability and sensitivity indices generally concur that incorporating socioeconomic indicators will facilitate the identification of vulnerable locations. Hence, the present study seeks to construct an integrated coastal risk assessment index for coastal Odisha, taking into account both physical and socioeconomic attributes both at district as well as sub-district (block) level. The study encompasses 103 blocks distributed over 9 districts of the coastal region of Odisha. Ten parameters were chosen based on the criteria of physical and social vulnerability. A vulnerability map is created to identify zones with very low, low, moderate, and high vulnerability based on the weights and scores obtained using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Findings reveal that around 32% of the whole study area, which amounts to 9820 sq. km, is classified as the highly vulnerable zone. The majority of the blocks are classified as the moderately vulnerable zone, encompassing around 15,000 sq. km, or 48% of the total area. The area with the lowest danger, which covers only 235 sq. km (0.78% of the total), is classified as a very low- or no-risk zone. The findings could be valuable for policymakers in developing and executing proactive strategies to mitigate cyclone impacts. The findings of this study endorse the notion that communities living in such areas should be provided with interventions that target the reduction of susceptibility and the adoption of appropriate adaptive strategies.

A child is a gift from Allah SWT. Who has the right to life and get attention from both parents. How parents educate and raise them greatly influences the development of a child. A child is likened to a clean white paper which is given a potential by Allah SWT, and must be developed by every parent in any situation, such as in a problem caused by the separation of the marriage bond of both parents. Introversion is an obstacle or obstacle in interpersonal conversation, which has the characteristics of a cognitive association that is closed by beliefs and disbelief about reality and is closed, feels alone, sensitive, adjusts to the world outside itself that is not good, difficult to get along with and less able to attract the hearts of others. Separation of parents is a big enough problem for a child, especially for children who are still at an early age, because children at this age still really need attention from both parents.

This literature review examines the psychoanalytic theory founded by Sigmund Freud, one of the well-known forms of discussion is that the personality structure consists of: id, ego, and superego. The id and superego are both described as the subconscious of the individual. If the id is the same as the ego, then it is certain that the superego is not functioning and a child cannot be said to have good morals. If the ego is the same as the superego then a child can be sure to have good morals and character. Crime does not easily appear in children's behavior. The purpose of this paper is how we can grow the child's superego in Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory. This study is related to psychoanalytic theory and educates about the moral personality of children
Implementasi Teori Pavlov dalam Pembelajaran pada Kurikulum Merdeka

Published: June 2024

Learning theories have long been fundamental in education, describing learning as a process of behavioral change that combines new information with existing ideas. One important theory is Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning theory, which shows how a neutral stimulus can be conditioned to trigger a specific response. In the context of 21st-century learning, the role of teachers is crucial in helping students develop skills relevant to the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Through the concept of ‘Merdeka Belajar,’ teachers are given the freedom to determine appropriate teaching methods, which allows flexibility and creativity in the teaching and learning process. Although Pavlov's theory has shortcomings, such as dependence on external stimulus and neglect of the role of personal activity, its application remains relevant in helping students master skills through practice and repetition.

Facetas de cerâmica são restaurações altamente estéticas que, quando com indicações e técnicas de execução corretas, atingem resultados previsíveis e extremamente satisfatórios. Há diversos estudos na literatura, comparando diferentes técnicas de preparos, entretanto, a maior parte são estudos laboratoriais e há grande diversidade nos resultados encontrados. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar prospectivamente a performance clínica de facetas cerâmicas realizadas em clínica particular, e compará-la em diferentes tipos de preparos dentários. Sessenta e cinco pacientes foram restaurados com 292 facetas, com até 10 anos de acompanhamento. Alteração de cor, integridade superficial, descoloração marginal e integridade marginal foram examinados clinicamente pelo critério modificado de Ryge. Para comparação entre os diferentes tipos de preparos de acordo com os critérios avaliados, foi realizado o teste exato de Fisher, com intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC 95%), favorecendo os grupos com preparo em esmalte e esmalte e dentina para o critério de descoloração marginal (p=0,004), apresentando menor alteração em comparação ao grupo com preparo em dentina ou sem preparo. A maioria das facetas foi avaliada como alfa ou bravo para todos os critérios após o período de acompanhamento, o que corresponde a uma taxa de 99,3%. Portanto as facetas cerâmicas tiveram boa performance clínica no tempo avaliado.

Socio-economic Outcomes of Gendered Participation in Forest Management in Tanzania
Authors: Silvano Pilly
Published: June 2024

Prio to the 1980s, centralized forest management policies in many African countries, including Tanzania, excluded local communities, particularly women, from participating in the management of their forests. In response, participatory forest management (PFM) approaches—including community-based forest management (CBFM), and joint forest management (JFM)—were introduced to empower local communities to participate in forest management and benefit from their forests. Building on existing analysis that highlights more on the impact of PFM on forest conditions, governance and livelihood, this paper examines the socio-economic outcomes of gendered participation in forest management in Kilwa District, Tanzania. Through the feminist political ecology perspective, and utilizing a mixed method approach, it aims to assess the significance of gendered participation in CBFM for achieving improved socio-economic outcomes. The findings indicate that increased gendered participation in CBFM activities increases gendered awareness and understanding of forest-related issues, reduces gender-related conflicts, strengthens social networks and enhances equity in benefit-sharing at the community level. However, these are less achieved at the household level. The distribution of economic benefits to individuals has been hindered by the absence of a well-defined benefit sharing arrangements and the dominance of elites in capturing forest benefits. The paper concludes that increased gender participation in CBFM activities has more social benefits outcomes than economic benefits to women. It recommends revising forest regulations to ensure more economic benefits flow to individuals, thereby incentivizing active participation in forest management. Additionallly, gender specific interventions should be implemented to empower both men and women with alternative sources of income to enhance their economic wellbeing, while safeguarding the sustainability forest resources.
Household Solid Waste Generation Patterns and Collection Systems in Urban Tanzania: A Case Study of Morogoro Municipality
Authors: Kibonde Suma
Published: June 2024

This paper examines household solid waste generation patterns and collection systems in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania, utilizing a mixed research design combining quantitative and qualitative methods. A sample of 380 heads of households was randomly selected, and data were collected through surveys, in- depth interviews, and field observation. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS, with Chi-square analyses revealing relationships between waste quantities and socio-demographic characteristics. Qualitative data were analysed through content analysis. The results indicate that food waste constitutes 66% of total waste, with compound sweepings and papers trailing at 20%. Most households (60%) generate 1–3kg of waste daily, yet face significant inconsistencies (74%) in waste collection schedules. Despite the common use of sacks (97%) for waste storage, an underperforming collection system results in uncertainty among residents, leading to roadside dumping. Notably, homeowners produce significantly higher quantities of waste (p<0.001), and larger family household sizes correlate with increased waste generation (p<0.000). The study unveils challenges in waste collection due to inadequate infrastructure and technology, resulting in environmental and health risks from waste accumulation in public areas. Recommendations include: investing in infrastructure and technology to enhance waste collection efficiency, increasing financial allocations through partnerships and grants, and launching public awareness campaigns for improved waste segregation, and adherence to collection schedules. Additionally, promoting sustainable recycling and composting practices is advised.

Aims: To determine the rate of weight loss and the relationship between weight loss, length of hospital stay, and treatment response in pneumonia patients aged 6-60 months treated at Children's Hospital 2 (CH2).
Methods: A hospital cross-based prospective study was conducted on 208 patients aged 6-60 months diagnosed with pneumonia and treated as inpatients at the Respiratory Department 1 and 2 of CH2 from March to April 2024.
Results: The rates of weight loss after 3 days, after 7 days of hospitalization, and at discharge were 27.6%, 38.1%, and 38.0% respectively. The length of hospital stay for children with weight loss ≥ 5% after 3 days of hospitalization and at discharge was longer than for those with weight loss < 5%, and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Children with weight loss ≥ 5% after 3 days of hospitalization and at discharge had a poorer treatment response compared to children with weight loss < 5% [(RR (95%CI)= 5.88 (1.71-20.1) and RR (95%CI)= 4.86 (1.95-12.1), respectively (p=0.025 and p=0.001).
Conclusion: Regulary monitoring children's weight during treatment and providing nutritional support to prevent excessive weight loss is essential to improve the treatment process and the hospital stay.

Authors: PHAM Duc Minh
Published: June 2024

Aims: The study aimed to evaluate the cachexia status and its associated factors in lung cancer patients.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted on 97 lung cancer in patients at the Oncology Center, Military Hospital 103, between 2020 and 2021.
Results: The prevalence of cachexia in the lung cancer patients was 46.4%. In the multivariable regression models, the factors significantly associated with cachexia included age over 60 years (OR=3.3; p <0.05), NIS symptoms score (OR=1.26; p <0.01), and BMI <18.5 kg/m2 (OR=11.4; p <0.01). The NIS score demonstrated the best ability to screen for cachexia (AUC=0.715; p <0.001) in the lung cancer patients. Among the models combining factors for classifying cachexia, the Model consisted of 4 factors: NIS, BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, male gender, and age ≥ 60, yielding the best diagnostic value (AUC = 0.845; p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Malnutrition was common among lung cancer patients. Age, BMI, and NIS score were significantly associated with cachexia. The combination of the associated factors could improve the discrimination of cachexia in lung patients.
APOCALYPTIC DYSTOPIAN FUTURE IN THE TIME MACHINE BY H. G. WELLS
Authors: Yılmaz Elif , Gündüz Nazli
Published: June 2024

This study analyzes The Time Machine (1895) by H.G. Wells as a work of dystopian genre, demonstrating its significance in exploring dystopian narratives and Wells’ predictions on a possible apocalyptic future. Dystopian works serve both as a warning against the danger awaiting the current societal order in the future and a criticism of the present order. In this regard, Wells’ work acts as a key example of the dystopian genre and illustrates an apocalyptic world in which the society is divided into two different groups called the Eloi and Morlocks. The novel describes the Eloi as a community who live above the ground and maintain a simple life. On the contrary, the Morlocks live under the ground, having a darker existence. Through this differentiation, Wells underscores conflicts in the current societal order such as class division, rapidly growing technology, and the unrestrained social progress. Even though the setting of the story is in the far away future, Wells in this work successfully portrays the struggles of his own time and warns his readers against the possible paths these struggles might take them in the future. The Time Traveller travels through time, to an apocalyptic future and witnesses the possibilities which the conflicts in his own society might cause in the future firsthand. Consequently, Wells’ work serves not only as a story about the future but also as a warning against the current trends in society such as technological developments and the destruction of environment. Therefore, Wells’ work encourages readers to critically approach the present order of the society by portraying the probable dystopia that is awaiting them. Hence, what makes The Time Machine an important example of the dystopian genre is the fact that it serves as a warning to make a change and to reestablish balance in the present society. This study argues that Wells’ The Time Machine portrays an apocalyptic dystopia which warns against the possible conflicts that might be caused by the workings of the present, underscoring the consequences of societal and technological divides. Consequently, Wells’ work emphasizes on the need for societal change and balance to prevent a dystopian future.

A propósito del centenario de Rawls: la fiscalidad participativa y la teoría rawlsiana de justicia; notas para un debate en ciernes
Authors: Limonta Montero Reynier
Published: June 2024

La fiscalidad participativa supone la adopción de cánones participativos en la gestiónde las finanzas públicas que garantizan la expresión del derecho de participación ciudadanoen este ámbito. La noción rawlsiana de justicia entronca con la racionalidadque opera de soporte en las categorías que componen la configuración de la fiscalidadparticipativa misma. La idea directriz es que los principios de la justicia para la estructurabásica de la sociedad son el objeto del acuerdo original. Son los principios que laspersonas libres y racionales interesadas en promover sus propios intereses aceptaríanen una posición inicial de igualdad como definitorios de los términos fundamentalesde su asociación. Esta visión preside epistemológicamente la congruencia de la fiscalidadparticipativa como núcleo conceptual y la visión axiológica rawlsiana. De ahí queel presente trabajo se proponga el análisis del basamento de la fiscalidad participativaque no es otro que la noción de justicia.

Regional Decentralization of Purwakarta 2018-2022: Effectiveness And Growth Of Local Original Income
Authors: Avianti Widiya
Published: June 2024

The government provides financial assistance to regions in the form of intergovernmental transfers from the State Budget (APBN) to support decentralisation policies, used to finance regional needs, such as infrastructure development and public services. The aim is to improve the welfare of the local population and enhance local autonomy in decision-making, financial management, and reduce fiscal disparities between the central and local governments, as well as between different regions. The central government delegates sources of financial revenue to the regions to be managed effectively and efficiently, including through regional own-source revenues (PAD), to support regional autonomy and fund its tasks and functions. This qualitative research aims to test and analyse: (1) The effect of local own-source revenue (PAD) effectiveness on fiscal decentralisation in the region. (2) The effect of local own-source revenue (PAD) growth on fiscal decentralisation in the regions. (3) The effect of effectiveness and growth of local own-source revenue (PAD) on fiscal decentralisation in the region. The object of research is the PAD Realisation Report of Purwakarta Regency from 2018 to 2022. The sample consists of five reports, namely the PAD report for the 2018-2022 period. There are three points from the results of this study: (1) PAD effectiveness has no significant influence on fiscal decentralisation in the region (significance value 0.216 > 0.05); (2) PAD growth has no significant influence on fiscal decentralisation, (significance value 0.216 > 0.05); PAD effectiveness and growth have no significant influence on fiscal decentralisation, (significance value 0.385 > 0.05).

Authors: Arismutia Salza Adzri
Published: June 2024

The study aims to determine the impact of TATO, ROA, and DER on Stock Prices, with Firm Size as a moderating. This research used secondary data acquired from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange, www.idx.co.id. This research used quantitative methods, namely descriptive and verification methodologies. The study's population consisted of 32 Transportation Companies that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2019 and 2023. This research used a non-probability selection method called purposive sampling to choose 6 organizations as samples. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS 26 software. The study's findings demonstrated that the TATO, ROA, and DER variables had a favorable influence on stock prices. Firm Size as a moderating had a distinct impact on each variable. The size of the firm did not have a moderating effect on the effects of TATO on stock prices. The impact of ROA on stock prices is enhanced by the size of the firm. The impact of the DER on Stock Prices is weakened by the size of the firm. The impact of TATO, ROA, and DER on stock prices was enhanced by the size of the firm. This finding implies that the Firm Size cannot moderate the relationship between TATO and stock price. Future research can replace Firm Size with PER as a moderating variable, to determine its effect on Stock Price. So that comparative results can be obtained to be useful for the development of science and the economy in Indonesia
