Social problems will continue to emerge unavoidably and at the same time will continue to affect the dimensions of everyone's life. Liquor is a type of drink that contains addictive substances (alcohol). This is what then makes every drink user sometimes commit criminal/deviant acts which are of course detrimental and troubling to society, such as bullying, fights, and domestic violence. the dangers of this liquor can not only be felt by certain persons but the behavior of the liquor harms many parties. This study aims to determine how the community responds to alcoholics in Hedam Village, Heram District, Jayapura City. The research method used is qualitative with a phenomenological approach, the number of samples is 10, and the purposive sampling technique data collection methods observation, interviews, and documentation. qualitative data analysis namely data reduction, data presentation, and withdrawal. The results that are known from this research are the public's response to the perpetrators of drinking, what are the effects of drinking. The conclusion is that alcohol can influence alcoholics so it has a harmful impact on oneself and others. Recommendations from the government and related institutions can take this behavior problem due to alcohol seriously because alcohol is one of the highest causes of crime and death in the Land of Papua.

The overall objective of the research is to identify the penetration of bigman leadership values in village governance in Oransbari District, South Manokwari Regency. This research uses an exploratory paradigm, a descriptive approach with qualitative research (in-depth interviews). The data collection methods used were observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis follows the procedures of data collection, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of these findings show that the penetration of big man leadership values in village governance in Masabui one Masabui two Watariri villages is still controlled by traditional values, especially the value of power and ownership of customary rights and rights as a tribal chief, which are used in governance starting from the leader. The village structure prioritises the values of responsibility and transparency, even though it is controlled by a patrilineal family. The penetration of bigman leadership values in village governance in Oransbari District, South Manokwari Regency, has had a very strong influence. This influence is due to the power system of the tribal chief as the holder of customary rights, which has become a customary provision that all organisations entering the village must be headed by the holder of customary rights, who is also the local tribal chief, including bodies in the organisational structure, because it has become customary. As a legacy from generation to generation, all the trust of the community will be directed towards him. In addition, as the head of the village, the tribal chief plays an important role and is fully responsible for all government programmes that come to the village. He is also responsible for solving all problems related to violations and disputes in the village.

The role of parents in the development of children's personality is very important, especially in the formation of religious personality. Parents are the first means through which a child undergoes socialization and the formation of the child's personality. Because parents are a reflection of the child, it is expected that religious education in children will succeed in shaping the child's personality. The purpose of this study is to find out what are the roles of parents in fostering children's religiosity, what values children get from the religiosity, and how children are influenced in the practice of religiosity in the community. The location of this research is Yobeh village in Senthani district of Jayapura Regency. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. The data collection techniques used are in-depth interview, observation, and documentation. Data analysis includes the stages of data exploration, data classification, data validation, and conclusion drawing. The result of this study is that the role of parents is still not fully implemented. This is because there are still many parents who delegate their parenting role to other institutions. There are several reasons why this happens, because many parents do not have time to provide full care, because they are busy earning a living. But there are also parents who want to directly shape the religious role of their children, so there are also parents who teach their own religious education to their children. Evidently, parents directly or indirectly have a very large role in shaping the character and personality values of their children.

On Three Domination-based Identification Problems in Block Graphs
Authors: Chakraborty Dipayan , Foucaud Florent , Parreau Aline , Wagler Annegret
Published: July 2024

The problems of determining the minimum-sized identifying, locating-dominating and open locating-dominating codes of an input graph are special search problems that are challenging from both theoretical and computational viewpoints. In these problems, one selects a dominating set C of a graph G such that the vertices of a chosen subset of V(G) (i.e. either V(G) \ C or V(G) itself) are uniquely determined by their neighborhoods in C. A typical line of attack for these problems is to determine tight bounds for the minimum codes in various graph classes. In this work, we present tight lower and upper bounds for all three types of codes for block graphs (i.e. diamond-free chordal graphs). Our bounds are in terms of the number of maximal cliques (or blocks) of a block graph and the order of the graph. Two of our upper bounds verify conjectures from the literature with one of them being now proven for block graphs in this article. As for the lower bounds, we prove them to be linear in terms of both the number of blocks and the order of the block graph. We provide examples of families of block graphs whose minimum codes attain these bounds, thus showing each bound to be tight.

Strong Regulatory Graphs
Authors: Gustafsson Patric , Petre Ion
Published: July 2024

Logical modeling is a powerful tool in biology, offering a system-level understanding of the complex interactions that govern biological processes. A gap that hinders the scalability of logical models is the need to specify the update function of every vertex in the network depending on the status of its predecessors. To address this, we introduce in this paper the concept of strong regulation, where a vertex is only updated to active/inactive if all its predecessors agree in their influences; otherwise, it is set to ambiguous. We explore the interplay between active, inactive, and ambiguous influences in a network. We discuss the existence of phenotype attractors in such networks, where the status of some of the variables is fixed to active/inactive, while the others can have an arbitrary status, including ambiguous.
Complexity and Equivalency of Multiset Dimension and ID-colorings
Authors: Hakanen Anni , Yero Ismael G.
Published: July 2024

This investigation is firstly focused into showing that two metric parameters represent the same object in graph theory. That is, we prove that the multiset resolving sets and the ID-colorings of graphs are the same thing. We also consider some computational and combinatorial problems of the multiset dimension, or equivalently, the ID-number of graphs. We prove that the decision problem concerning finding the multiset dimension of graphs is NP-complete. We consider the multiset dimension of king grids and prove that it is bounded above by 4. We also give a characterization of the strong product graphs with one factor being a complete graph, and whose multiset dimension is not infinite.

Improving Cognition Without Clearing Amyloid: Effects of Tau and Ultrasound Neuromodulation
Authors: Leinenga Gerhard , Padmanabhan Pranesh , Götz Jürgen
Published: July 2024

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by progressive impairment of neuronal functions culminating in neuronal loss and dementia. A universal feature of dementia is protein aggregation, a process by which a monomer forms intermediate oligomeric assembly states and filaments that develop into end-stage hallmark lesions. In Alzheimer’s disease, this is exemplified by extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques which have been placed upstream of tau, found in intracellular neurofibrillary tangles and dystrophic neurites. This implies causality that can be modeled as a linear activation cascade. When Aβ load is reduced, for example, in response to an anti-Aβ immunotherapy, cognitive functions improve in plaque-forming mice. They also deteriorate less in clinical trial cohorts although real-world clinical benefits remain to be demonstrated. Given the existence of aged humans with unimpaired cognition despite a high plaque load, the central role of Aβ has been challenged. A counter argument has been that clinical symptoms would eventually develop if these aged individuals were to live long enough. Alternatively, intrinsic mechanisms that protect the brain in the presence of pathology may exist. In fact, Aβ toxicity can be abolished by either reducing or manipulating tau (through which Aβ signals), at least in preclinical models. In addition to manipulating steps in this linear pathocascade model, mechanisms of restoring brain reserve can also counteract Aβ toxicity. Low-intensity ultrasound is a neuromodulatory modality that can improve cognitive functions in Aβ-depositing mice without the need for removing Aβ. Together, this highlights a dissociation of Aβ and cognition, with important implications for therapeutic interventions.

Introduction:

Nuclear envelopathies occur due to structural and/or functional defects in various nuclear envelope proteins such as lamin A/C and lamin related proteins. This study is the first report on the phenotype-genotype patterns of nuclear envelopathy-related muscular dystrophies from India.

Methods:

In this retrospective study, we have described patients with genetically confirmed muscular dystrophy associated with nuclear envelopathy. Data on clinical, laboratory findings and muscle MRI were collected.

Results:

Sixteen patients were included with median age at onset of 3 years (range: 1 month – 17 years). Three genes were involved: LMNA (11, 68.75%), EMD (4, 25%) and SYNE1 (1, 6.25%). The 11 patients with LMNA variants were Congenital muscular dystrophy (MDCL)=4, Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD1B)=4 and Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD2)=3. On muscle biopsy, one patient from each laminopathy phenotype ( n = 3) revealed focal perivascular inflammatory infiltrate. Other notable features were ophthalmoparesis in one and facial weakness in one. None had cardiac involvement. Patients with EDMD1 had both upper (UL) and lower limb (LL) proximo-distal weakness. Cardiac rhythm disturbances such as sick sinus syndrome and atrial arrhythmias were noted in two patients with EDMD1. Only one patient with variant c.654_658dup ( EMD) lost ambulation in the 3rd decade, 18 years after disease onset. Two had finger contractures with EMD and SYNE1 variants respectively. All patients with LMNA and SYNE1 variants were ambulant at the time of evaluation. Mean duration of illness (years) was 11.6±13 (MDCL), 3.2±1.0 (EDMD2), 10.4±12.8 (LGMD1B), 11.8±8.4 (EDMD1) and 3 (EDMD4). One patient had a novel SYNE1 mutation (c.22472dupA, exon 123) and presented with UL phenotype and prominent finger and wrist contractures.

Conclusion:

The salient features included ophthalmoparesis and facial weakness in LMNA, prominent finger contractures in EMD and SYNE1 and upper limb phenotype with the novel pathogenic variant in SYNE1.

Published: July 2024

Background:

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a serious complication following deep brain stimulation (DBS) but only received little attention. Its main risk factors are higher age and preoperative cognitive deficits. These are also main risk factors for long-term cognitive decline after DBS in Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Objective:

To identify risk factors for POD severity after DBS surgery in PD.

Methods:

57 patients underwent DBS (21 female; age 60.2±8.2; disease duration 10.5±5.9 years). Preoperatively, general, PD– and surgery-specific predictors were recorded. Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the neuropsychological test battery CANTAB ConnectTM were used to test domain-specific cognition. Volumes of the cholinergic basal forebrain were calculated with voxel-based morphometry. POD severity was recorded with the delirium scales Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) and Nursing Delirium Scale (NU-DESC). Spearman correlations were calculated for univariate analysis of predictors and POD severity and linear regression with elastic net regularization and leave-one-out cross-validation was performed to fit a multivariable model.

Results:

21 patients (36.8%) showed mainly mild courses of POD following DBS. Correlation between predicted and true POD severity was significant (spearman rho = 0.365, p = 0.001). Influential predictors were age ( p < 0.001), deficits in attention and motor speed ( p = 0.002), visual learning ( p = 0.036) as well as working memory ( p < 0.001), Nucleus basalis of Meynert volumes ( p = 0.003) and burst suppression ( p = 0.005).

Conclusions:

General but also PD– and surgery-specific factors were predictive of POD severity. These findings underline the multifaceted etiology of POD after DBS in PD. Valid predictive models must therefore consider general, PD– and surgery-specific factors.
Modeling of Parkinson’s Disease Progression and Implications for Detection of Disease Modification in Treatment Trials
Authors: Ribba Benjamin , Simuni Tanya , Marek Kenneth , Siderowf Andrew , Diack Cheikh , Pierrillas Philippe Bernard , Monnet Annabelle , Ricci Benedicte , Nikolcheva Tania , Pagano Gennaro
Published: July 2024

Background:

Objectively measuring Parkinson’s disease (PD) signs and symptoms over time is critical for the successful development of treatments aimed at halting the disease progression of people with PD.

Objective:

To create a clinical trial simulation tool that characterizes the natural history of PD progression and enables a data-driven design of randomized controlled studies testing potential disease-modifying treatments (DMT) in early-stage PD.

Methods:

Data from the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) were analyzed with nonlinear mixed-effect modeling techniques to characterize the progression of MDS-UPDRS part I (non-motor aspects of experiences of daily living), part II (motor aspects of experiences of daily living), and part III (motor signs). A clinical trial simulation tool was built from these disease models and used to predict probability of success as a function of trial design.

Results:

MDS-UPDRS part III progresses approximately 3 times faster than MDS-UPDRS part II and I, with an increase of 3 versus 1 points/year. Higher amounts of symptomatic therapy is associated with slower progression of MDS-UPDRS part II and III. The modeling framework predicts that a DMT effect on MDS-UPDRS part III could precede effect on part II by approximately 2 to 3 years.

Conclusions:

Our clinical trial simulation tool predicted that in a two-year randomized controlled trial, MDS-UPDRS part III could be used to evaluate a potential novel DMT, while part II would require longer trials of a minimum duration of 3 to 5 years underscoring the need for innovative trial design approaches including novel patient-centric measures.

Authors: Vaidya Ruben , Hashmi Nabeel , Kakshapati Salima , Chang Weijen , Beachy Joanna
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Post natal adaptation syndrome is well reported but early presentation of neurological symptoms severe enough to warrant detailed neurological work up is rare. Our aim was to evaluate and describe abnormal early neurological symptoms in infants following in-utero exposure to a varying combination of selective serotonin uptake inhibitor medication and other psychotropic medications, with negative seizure work-up. METHOD: Descriptive case series of infant exposed to selective serotonin uptake inhibitor medication and other psychotropic medications, presenting with early neurologic signs and symptoms within the first 24 hours of life concerning for seizures, who underwent an extensive neurologic evaluation. RESULTS: Five infants met criteria. Infant #1 : 39-weeks gestational age (GA), with escitalopram, clonazepam, gabapentin, methadone exposure, presented with generalized hypertonia and intermittent back-arching. #2 : 40-weeks GA with escitalopram and hydroxyzine exposure, with bilateral arm stiffening and sucking mouth movements. #3 : 34-weeks GA with fluoxetine, quetiapine and clonazepam exposure, presented with decerebrate posturing. #4 : 38-weeks GA with fluoxetine, clonazepam, clonidine, quetiapine and gabapentin exposure, presented with asynchronous tremoring of all extremities. #5 : 35-weeks GA with citalopram, quetiapine exposure, presented with increased tone and posturing of upper extremities. Electroencephalogram was negative for seizures in all infants. CONCLUSION: In-utero exposure to selective serotonin uptake inhibitor medication, especially in combination with other psychotropic medications, may be associated with significant abnormal neurological symptoms, which may not represent true seizures.
An investigation into the influence of biological sex, anthropometrics, footwear, and dual tasking on balance
Authors: ALJawaee Madawi , Jones Michael D. , Williams Jonathan M.
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: It remains unclear whether balance is influenced by biological sex, anthropometrics, wearing footwear, or dual tasking. Such information is important to aid clinical reasoning pertaining to assessment and rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of biological sex, anthropometrics, footwear, physical activity and dual tasking (DT) on balance performance. METHODS: An observational study was performed on eighty-six healthy participants. Anthropometric assessment and static balance performance was evaluated, during double leg stance with eyes open (DLSEO) and eyes closed (DLSEC) and during single-leg-stance (SLS). All tasks were assessed with and without footwear and a cognitive task was introduced to assess the effect of DT on static balance performance. RESULTS: Generally, the static balance performance of females was better than males, across all balance tasks, with some large effect sizes (ES). In both sexes, without footwear tasks resulted in better balance during the DLSEC task but with footwear, static balance performance was better during SLS in males only. Overall minimal differences were observed between single and dual task with a large ES for SLS and DLSEO for females. Upper body size was moderately negatively correlated to static balance performance. CONCLUSION: Females outperformed males, footwear and DT had some, but minimal influence on static balance. Anthropometrics were moderately correlated with balance. Balance performance should be compared to unisex normative data sets and performed as a single task, with or without footwear.
Unveiling the Hidden Harvest: A Study on the Influence of House Churches on New Testament Evangelism
Authors: Siregar Ivo Christiana
Published: July 2024

In the realm of Christian evangelism, the role of house churches has emerged as a topic of considerable interest for scholarly inquiry. While extensive research has been conducted on evangelistic strategies, there has been a dearth of specific investigation into the influence of house churches on New Testament evangelistic practices. Consequently, this study seeks to explore the impact of house churches on the effectiveness of Christian evangelistic strategies in engaging with groups that have yet to be reached or are underrepresented within the realm of Christian faith. The research methodology employed involves a thorough review of relevant literature sources, wherein the concept of house church, New Testament evangelism theory, and other factors that influence the role of house churches in evangelism are analyzed and synthesized. The findings demonstrate that house churches possess significant potential in reaching out to unreached groups, expanding the scope of evangelistic efforts, and fostering more profound spiritual growth. These findings underscore the importance of comprehending the role of house churches within the context of New Testament evangelism, both from a theological and practical standpoint, and addressing the challenges that may arise in their implementation. This research makes a substantial contribution to the advancement of Christian evangelistic theory and practice, as well as enhancing our comprehension of religious dynamics within society.

Published: July 2024

Orthognathic surgery is performed to correct malocclusion and facial asymmetry. Although it usually involves young, healthy patients, it is important to bear in mind that facial deformities are sometimes a characteristic of many different syndromes.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the main factors involved in the anaesthesia management of these patients.

The anaesthesia management has an important influence on the results.

This review analyzed key factors involved in the perioperative care of orthognathic surgery patients, including surgical procedure, airway and anaesthesia management. The discussion extended to bleeding control, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), antibiotic prophylaxis, analgesia, and deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis (DVT).

A comprehensive and careful anaesthesia management, with a multidisciplinary approach and the implementation of protocols, is essential for optimizing outcomes and accelerating recovery in orthognathic surgery.

Published: July 2024

This retrospective cohort study, conducted at the Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences, delves into the sociodemographic determinants of gender disparity in dengue fever diagnosis and treatment. In a dataset comprising 1,498 dengue fever patients, with 783 males and 715 females, the study meticulously analyzes various sociodemographic factors, including age, education level, occupation, household income, and residence, and their relationship to healthcare outcomes such as complications, mortality, diagnosis rates, and treatment rates. The study yields compelling insights, indicating that the healthcare system at the Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences offers equitable care to both males and females grappling with dengue fever. While minor disparities in baseline characteristics are observed, the majority of outcomes, ranging from the occurrence of complications to mortality rates, did not manifest significant gender-based differences. The study accentuates the salience of residence as a crucial factor contributing to gender disparities, with more males residing in rural areas. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions aimed at mitigating geographical disparities in healthcare access and awareness. They underscore the importance of ensuring equitable healthcare outcomes for individuals of all genders affected by dengue fever. Nevertheless, the study's retrospective design and single-center focus should be considered as limitations, calling for future research to explore a wider array of determinants that might influence gender disparities in dengue fever diagnosis and treatment.
Electrical Resistivity Inversion Based on Symmetric Polynomial Constraint
Authors: Sun Qikai , Li Man , Guo Yihao , Zhang Zhiyong
Published: July 2024

As we seek to make geophysical models more consistent with geological models, more and more a priori information is incorporated into geophysical inverse problems. How we make the most use of a priori information is still a key issue in geophysical inversion, particularly for effectively representing such information in inversion problems. To address this problem, we propose a symmetric polynomial constrained inversion algorithm that can represent multiple known physical properties for the lithology. The electrical resistivity synthetic model tests show that the inversion results constrained with symmetric polynomials can make the model resistivity be in line with a priori information and obtain more realistic sharp boundaries. Finally, we give a practical verification of our inversion algorithm with field data.
Field Examples of Void-Related Resonance in Shallow Seismic Data
Authors: Sloan Steven D. , Feigenbaum Daniel Z.
Published: July 2024

Direct and indirect methods of detecting subsurface voids and cavities using seismic methods have proven to be a challenge for the better part of a century. There are several examples of resonance associated with shallow voids in the literature, but many of them are individual instances or do not include real data, leaving readers to wonder if it is an exploitable phenomenon that can be used at multiple sites, or if it requires a site-specific set of criteria to be generated. We present three examples of observed resonance that is coincident with the location of known voids at a range of depths to determine if the ringing effect is consistently recorded from one place to another. The data used were not collected specifically for this purpose, but were pulled from data sets acquired over known voids in Utah, Iraq, and Arizona. Additional data from a wider variety of geologic settings and void dimensions would help to determine if observations are consistent across a range of geologic environments and void characteristics.
