Authors: Iushkina Nadezhda
Published: September 2023

In the journey through the world of diamonds, we delve into the remarkable history of these precious gems, their multifaceted nature, and their role in various aspects of life. Diamonds, with their exquisite beauty and rarity, have captivated people for centuries, becoming symbols of eternity, wealth, and status. However, their influence extends far beyond the realm of jewelry, as they become an integral part of high technologies and scientific discoveries. We explore the history of diamond mining in various parts of the world, from famous deposits to meticulous mining techniques. Along the way, we see how diamonds occur in nature and how technologies help create synthetic diamonds indistinguishable from their natural counterparts. The art of jewelry has always been influenced by diamonds, accentuating their beauty and the endless play of light. Diamonds adorned monarchs, witnessed important historical events, and became true legacies. Nevertheless, the significance of diamonds goes beyond jewelry; they have become an indispensable part of high technologies and engineering solutions. Laboratory-grown diamonds represent a new direction that rewrites the rules of the game. These flawless crystals, created using advanced technologies, revolutionize the world of diamonds. They gain importance in scientific research and engineering developments, finding applications in electronics, medicine, energy, and even space. Thus, diamonds are not only exquisite adornments but also key players in scientific, technical, and cultural aspects of our lives. Their unique properties and beauty continue to inspire and fascinate people, bringing the sparkle of eternity and innovation into our world. The perfection of these gems in all their forms and applications reminds us of the great power and wealth of our nature, as well as the possibilities that unfold before us thanks to science and technology.
Sharing Economy Practices in Changing Business Environment: Transaction Cost, Resource-Linking, and Hypercompetition Perspectives
Authors: Santoso Adhi Setyo
Published: September 2023

Digital business is a phenomenon that is closely related to sharing economy business in pursuit of new entrepreneurial opportunities in Indonesia. This article aims to analyze the changing business environment because of the disruption from sharing economy practices, as well as analyze the competitive dynamics between the disruptors. The results show that sharing economy practices can change the business environment through differences in transaction costs within the cost structure and by capturing opportunities beyond the existing market through resource-linking strategies. The comparison study of Go-Jek, Grab, and Uber shows that the growth trajectory of sharing economy startups can be triggered by hypercompetition among them as the market leader.
Primary prevention of chronic kidney disease
Authors: Ortiz A. , Sánchez-Niño M.D.
Published: September 2023

There are 850 million people in the world with chronic kidney disease (CKD), one of the fastest growing global causes of death that was the most important risk factor for fatal COVID-19. The remaining life expectancy of people with CKD on renal replacement therapy is up to 40 years less than in the general population. While healthy lifestyles and control of risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension can help protect against the development of CKD, the global burden of CKD continues to increase. Despite these poor results, recent clinical trials indicate that the concept of primary prevention of CKD must be developed. In post-hoc analyses of at least two clinical trials, SGLT2 inhibitors prevented the development of CKD in people without prior CKD but at high risk for CKD. We propose a working definition of primary prevention of CKD with the aim of preserving renal health, which should include the target population (who), the moment (when) and the intervention (what).
Cardiovascular toxicity of anticancer drugs: the dark side of success
Authors: Tamargo J.
Published: September 2023

Cancer represents the second cause of death in the European Union after cardiovascular diseases, accounting for 27% of all deaths. Anticancer drugs (ACDs) have poor cell selectivity and a narrow therapeutic margin, in such a way that small increases in their plasma levels lead to the appearance of adverse reactions in multiple tissues. The FACs can produce a wide range of adverse cardiovascular reactions (named cardiotoxicity) that increase morbidity and can even lead to death in some patients whose cancer has been cured by the ACD. The risk of cardiotoxicity increases with age, and since up to two-thirds of cancer patients are older than 65 years of age, cancer, cardiovascular diseases whose incidence increases with age and CAD-induced cardiotoxicity will coexist in this population. The diagnosis, prognosis, follow-up, and treatment of cardiotoxicity induced by CAFs represent a challenge in daily clinical practice that makes teamwork among cardiologists, oncologists, and hematologists essential. The recent guidelines on cardio-oncology of the European Society of Cardiology represents the first experience of this joint work to comprehensively address the cardiotoxicity due to anticancer drugs.
Advances in Xenotransplantation, 3D Additive Bioprinting and Gene Therapy for the future of Heart Transplantation
Authors: García- Montero Blanco C.
Published: September 2023

Heart transplantation (HTx) has proved itself to be the definite therapy for patients with end- stage cardiac failure. While HTx remains the cornerstone of the surgical armamentarium, it,s long- term success has resulted in an unbalanced supply- demand equation due to severe scarcity of valid organ donors. Therefore, further developments in the field of transplant therapy remain curtailed, unless other resources are encouraged. The present report is a review on the concept evolution, present status and reasonable outlook of three different, but confluent, emerging therapies, namely, a) xenotransplantation, b) 3D additive bioprinting and c) gene therapy.

Í greininni er fjallað um Sögu af fjórum kaupmönnum sem heyrir til svonefndra almúgabóka og var þýdd yfir á íslensku á 17. öld. Sagan fjallar um kaupmenn sem veðja um trúlyndi eiginkonu eins þeirra. Söguefnið um kaupmennina og konuna, sem reynist vera saklaus, er útbreitt um Evrópu og kemur meðal annars fyrir hjá Giovanni Boccaccio sem nýtti sér það í Decameron, og hjá William Shakespeare sem studdist við það í verki sínu The Tragedie of Cymbeline. Í umfjölluninni er söguefnið skoðað í víðu samhengi og í upphafi er athyglinni beint að þróun þess í Evrópu. Eftir það er fjallað um íslensku þýðinguna sérstaklega og varðveislu hennar. Að lokum er sagan greind með áherslu á þema hennar og boðskap og leitast er við að draga fram og varpa ljósi á hugmyndir um stöðu kvenna fyrr á öldum. Einkum og sér í lagi er þó spurt hvaða erindi sagan gæti hafa átt til íslenskra áheyrenda á 17. öld og þann tíma sem hún naut vinsælda og hvernig lesendur hennar og áheyrendur gætu hafa lesið í og túlkað þau gildi sem þar eru dregin fram.

Fræðimenn sem hafa fengist við heimspekisögu síðustu áratugi hafa margir áréttað mikilvægi þess að leita skilnings á viðfangsefni sínu svo sem kostur er á forsendum þess tíma sem um er fjallað en ekki (aðeins) á forsendum þess tíma sem fræðimennirnir sjálfir tilheyra. Þannig yrði skilningurinn dýpri. Hér verður tekið dæmi af umfjöllun fræðimanna um kenningar nokkurra grískra fornaldarheimspekinga um angurleysi (ataraxía). Fyrst eru kenningarnar raktar og skýrðar. Þá eru helstu viðbrögð fræðimanna við þessum kenningum skoðuð. Þessi viðbrögð afhjúpa viðhorf um hvað eiginleg heimspeki sé, að minnsta kosti eiginleg fornaldarheimspeki. Viðbrögðin einkennast annað hvort af neikvæðum gildisdómum, því ekki sé um eiginlega heimspeki að ræða, eða tilraunum til að skýra burt vitnisburðinn, því hann samræmist ekki eiginlegri heimspeki. Hvort tveggja skekkir skilning okkar á viðfangsefninu.

The quest for new nano-systems is ongoing to provide tailored nanoparticle systems for commercial purposes. The ability to manage their size and morphology leads to an advantage over other characteristics, therefore, a stable generation system is considered critical for their applications. We employed rose plant leaves extract to generate Ag-NPs via silver nitrate (AgNO3) as a basic ingredient in this study. The procedure was executed for multiple concentrations of the plant extract, as well as varying amounts of salt, and for different time periods. All of the different steps resulted in the development of Ag-NPs. The emergence of an absorption peak at 425 nm in UV-Vis spectroscopic spectra, and the presence of spherical particles visualized through SEM provided evidence of the creation of small-sized Ag-NPs. Finally, using the spread plate method, the antibacterial activity of Ag-NPs was investigated, and it was discovered that Ag-NPs exhibit high antibacterial activity against the four bacterial strains.
The influence of water absorption on reinforced polymers (FRP) using MWCNT and HGB

Published: September 2023

In the current paper, different MWCNTs filler amounts, containing PA6 and HGBs were prepared by injection moulded. The water uptake at saturation, normalized to the polyamide mass, decreases; hence the diffusion rate in both MWCNTs is slower, respectively HGBs which is faster. Injected moulded polymer samples can take less (6%) water uptake than neat polymer granules (11%). The addition of 15 wt% of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (sample 3) led to a minimum water absorption rate of 5%; this value is 15% less than the majority of the polymer composite mixtures and 1% less than pure PA6, mainly because other polymer composites which contained the HGB filler, absorbed more water. The best results highlight the improved water resistance of polyamide composite (sample 3), which reduces the impact of water on the component and expresses better applicability in the water environment than other polymer composites or even pure PA6.

Standard treatment for Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is chemotherapy, with high failure rates. Since MAP-kinase activating mutations are found in most cases, BRAF- and MEKinhibitors have been used successfully to treat patients with refractory or relapsed disease. However, data on long-term responses in children are limited and no data exist on their use as first-line therapy. We treated thirty-four patients (26 LCH, 2 Juvenile Xanthogranuloma, 2 Rosai-Dorfman Disease, 4 presumed single site-CNS histiocytosis) with either dabrafenib and/or trametinib, either as first line or after relapse or failure of chemotherapy. Sixteen patients aged 1.3-21 years, had disease that was recurrent or refractory to chemotherapy, 9 of whom had multisystem LCH with risk-organ involvement. With a median treatment duration of 4.3 years, 15 (94%) patients have sustained favorable responses. Eighteen patients aged 0.2-45 years received the inhibitor as first-line treatment. All of these have had sustained favorable responses, with a median treatment duration of 2.5 years. Three patients with presumed isolated CNS/pituitary-stalk histiocytosis demonstrated stabilization or improvement of disease. Overall, inhibitors were well tolerated. Five patients with single system LCH discontinued therapy and remain off therapy without recurrence. In contrast, all 4 patients with multisystem disease that discontinued therapy were restarted. Our data suggest that children suffering from histiocytoses can be treated safely, and effectively with dabrafenib or trametinib. Additional studies are needed however to determine the long term safety and optimal duration of therapy.

Lessons from the re-emergence of imported measles cases following the COVID-19 pandemic in Victoria, Australia
Authors: Marsland Madeleine J , Strachan Janet , Gang Rebecca F , O’Hara Miriam , Hughes Nicole M , Glynn-Robinson Anna
Published: September 2023

Introduction Australia was declared to have eliminated endemic measles in 2014; however, imported cases continue to pose a threat of outbreaks. International travel restrictions during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to a rapid decline in measles cases. The re-opening of the Australian international border to measles endemic regions returns the threat of outbreaks, which may be further compounded by disruptions in routine vaccinations during the COVID-19 pandemic. We consider lessons learned from the public health response to recent measles cases. Methods This case series includes all confirmed measles cases meeting the national case definition reported to the Victorian Government Department of Health (the Department) between 1 January and 31 December 2022. The Department conducted active case finding and contact tracing of all cases in line with national guidelines. Cases were descriptively analysed. Results In 2022, six of the seven measles cases reported in Australia occurred in Victoria, all of whom resided in Australia and acquired their infection overseas. Three cases were unlinked, and three formed an epidemiologically-linked household cluster. One case was partially vaccinated, one was not eligible for vaccination, one had unknown vaccination status, and three were unvaccinated, one of whom was under 12 months old but would have been eligible for vaccination prior to travel to endemic regions. None of the cases led to secondary transmission within Australia. Discussion Following the COVID-19 pandemic, measles importations have re-commenced in Victoria. Although few measles cases occurred in 2022 and none resulted in onwards transmission, imported measles cases remain complex and require substantial public health follow-up. Delays in case diagnosis and flight contact tracing pose a significant risk for outbreaks of measles. Public health interventions are needed to maintain high vaccination rates, improve contact tracing, and ensure public health authorities and healthcare providers can rapidly identify and respond to imported measles cases.

The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative because the researcher described about the students’ errors. Four students taken from three classes of English Department in academic year 2021/2022 WERE the sample used in this study. To collect the data, the researcher used a pronunciation test as the instrument. In  analyzing  the  data,  the  researcher  transcribed  the  recording  in  the  form  of  phonetic transcription. As a result, the researcher found that students made errors in all of the vowel sounds. All of the students made error in pronouncing vocabularies with vowel sound /ɔ:/ and /ʊ/. Those errors are classified into three kinds of errors namely vowel length error, different English vowel sound system from Indonesian Vowel and students’ Wrong Pronunciation Acquisition. First, the students cannot differentiate the vowel length such as vowel /iː/ into vowel /ɪ/ and vice versa, vowel /u:/ to vowel /ʊ/, vowel /ɜː/ into vowel /e/ and vowel sound /Ʌ/ into /ɑ:/. Second, the students substituted the vowel /æ/ into vowel /e/ and vowel sound /ә/ into /e/ or vice versa because there is no vowel sounds such as /æ/ and /ә/ in Indonesian. Last, the students substituted the vowel /ɔː/ into /ɑ:/ and vowel /ʊ/ into vowel /ə/ where they were actually different but the students considered that it was true.
