Authors: Saepudin Asep
Published: January 2024

This article aims to describe that religious moderation is a preventive measure against religious radicalism. This research is a type of library study. The data collected in this research is qualitative data. The results of this research indicate that the city of Bandung needs a comprehensive concept of religious moderation to overcome the problem of religious radicalism through the concept of moderation. The threat of radicalism should not be considered normal, so it is very important to instill and demonstrate religious moderation to prevent the influence of radicalism. Tolerance is a concept that can reduce religious radicalism. The essence of the concept of tolerance is to provide space for other people to express their beliefs, convey their thoughts, voice their ideas and opinions even if they differ from other people opinions.

Magyar ember volt Kína keresztény tábornoka!
Authors: Mátyás Anna Réka
Published: January 2024

A tanulmány a XX. századi Magyarországon, a Horthy-korszak nacionalizmusában táptalajra lelt, egy évtizeden keresztül húzódó hírlegendát mutatja be. A magyar sajtóban „Kína keresztény tábornokaként” emlegetett Feng Yuxianggal kapcsolatban akkor merült fel, hogy magyar származású lehet, amikor Fengya Igor kassai táblabíró egy, a kínai tábornokról készült és egy berlini képesújságban megjelent portrén felismerni vélte rég nem látott öccsét, Fengya Ireneuszt. A Feng–Fengya-álhír vélhetően a modern magyar sajtótörténet egyik legkorábbi, legjelentősebb és leghosszabb életű, Kínával kapcsolatos, nemzetközi hatású hírlapi kacsája volt. Ez az álhír 1927-től 1936-ig két alkalommal is szárnyra kapott a magyar sajtó lapjain. Legelőször 1927. február. 22-én volt olvasható a szenzációt keltő bejelentés, miszerint Fengya Igor kassai táblabíró Fengya Ireneusz nevű öccse valójában Feng Yuxiang tábornok. A különböző napilapok sorra vették át a hírt, sőt sajtónyomozás is indult az ügyben. Még a bécsi kínai nagykövetség is nyilatkozatot adott ki Feng Yuxiang életútjáról. A hír az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban is elterjedt, amelynek kapcsán az érintett, Fengya Ireneusz is nyilatkozatot tett közzé. A nyilatkozatában közölte, hogy Kassán élő bátyja majd mindenben igazat állít, abban téved csupán, hogy ő lenne a kínai keresztény tábornok. Elmondása szerint 1893-ban érkezett Kaliforniába, majd három évvel később beállt a hadseregbe, és részt vett a Fülöp-szigeteknél vívott harcokban. A bokszerlázadás idején is valóban Kínában tartózkodott, ahol tolmácsként alkalmazta az Egyesült Államok hadseregének kilencedik gyalogezrede. Az orosz–japán háború Mandzsúriában érte, és éveket töltött Szibériában, Kínában, Japánban és más kelet-ázsiai országokban. Az elmúlt kilenc évben azonban Alaszkában él, ahonnan alkalmanként Los Angelesbe utazik. Ezt a hírt másnap a The New York Times is átvette, ennek ellenére a magyar sajtóban nem bukkant fel, hogy Fengya Ireneusz maga is megszólalt volna a személyét érintő hírverés kapcsán. Az álhír azonban néhány évnyi pihenőt követően 1936-ban még egy rövid időre felbukkant. A hír újraéledését azonban a kassai táblabíró már nem élte meg, és a szenzáció jellege sem bizonyult olyan erősnek, hogy nemzetközi visszhangot keltett volna. Az 1948-ban elhunyt Feng Yuxiang tábornok feltehetően soha nem értesült a személyével kapcsolatos magyar hírlegendáról. Végkövetkeztetésként pedig levonható, hogy a hír szereplőinek története az álhír élettartamát tekintve kedvező időben találkozott a keletre forduló turanista magyarság és a magát többre hivatottnak érző nemzet öntudatával.
Comunidad política y democracia agonística: las antinomias de Chantal Mouffe y Ernesto Laclau
Authors: Rivera Urrutia Eugenio
Published: January 2024

A lo largo de sus trayectorias intelectuales, Ernesto Laclau y especialmente Chantal Mouffe han subrayado que valoran las instituciones de la democracia moderna. No obstante, su adhesión a la idea schmittiana de lo político como situación antagónica irreconciliable, su idea sobre la constitución del pueblo en tensión con el orden constitucional construido democráticamente, su concepción excluyente de la comunidad política y la falta de atención a la dimensión constitucional e institucional de la democracia representativa tienen como consecuencia un pensamiento atravesado por una antinomia fundamental y sujeto al peligro de legitimar los desafíos antidemocráticos del populismo de derecha e izquierda que azotan a los países. El ‘pueblo’ es una entidad inherentemente jurídica que requiere de un conjunto de procedimientos legales para determinar cómo puede expresarse y, por tanto, gobernar. El autogobierno democrático solo es posible dentro del marco de un orden constitucional, porque esto es lo que define los procedimientos que permiten a las personas gobernarse a sí mismas. En contraposición con ello, Ernesto Laclau propone alternativamente la idea de la constitución del pueblo como un proceso de articulación de grupos donde le cabe al discurso un rol crucial y que es algo menos que la totalidad de los miembros de la comunidad: es un componente parcial que aspira, sin embargo, a ser concebido como la única totalidad legítima. La aceptación de la demanda de una parte, la plebs, de ser el único populus legítimo, abre la posibilidad de desestimar el pacto constitucional, la institucionalidad y las normas del juego democrático.

U-SHAPED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MANAGERIAL HERD BEHAVIOR AND CORPORATE FINANCIALIZATION WITH THE MODERATING EFFECT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: EVIDENCE FROM CHINA
Authors: Wang Fangyun , Hu Wenxiu , Liu Li , Yang Li
Published: January 2024

Based on behavioral finance theory, we discuss the influence of managers’ herd behavior on corporate financialization from the perspective of managers’ behavioral preferences. Empirical testing was conducted using data from nonfinancial listed firms on the Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares from 2007 to 2021 and a U-shaped relationship was found between managerial herd behavior and corporate financialization. When managerial herd behavior is within an appropriate range, the increase in managerial herd behavior has a negative influence on corporate financialization. In contrast, excessive managerial herd behavior leads to excessive corporate financialization. Additionally, corporate governance has a weakening effect on this relationship. Heterogeneity analyses indicate significant disparities in the effect of managerial herd behavior on corporate financialization among enterprises with diverse ownership structures. Finally, corporate financialization and innovation investments have an inverted U-shaped relationship, and their relationship is moderated positively by management herd behavior. Our results have strong practical significance for fostering the balanced growth of the financial sector and the real economy.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE REMOTE TEAMWORK
Authors: Krukauskaitė Emilija , Jesevičiūtė-Ufartienė Laima
Published: January 2024

Remote teamwork has become common during the pandemic and continues even after it is over. In Lithuania alone, during the pandemic, around 40% of employees worked or still work remotely, while in the US this number reaches 50%. The purpose of this article is to compare the theoretical advantages and disadvantages of remote teamwork presented by scientists with the opinion of experts. Several main factors were selected after literature analysis and were given to the experts to evaluate them in a survey which was created using Likert scale. Experts were selected from one financial company and they lead teams of 7–10 people and have been working remotely for the past two years. The obtained results were evaluated using Kendall’s concordance coefficient and factor analysis methods. These methods helped evaluate the compatibility of the experts’ opinions and factors were divided into advantages and disadvantages based on the experts’ evaluations. The theoretical and practical assessment of the advantages of remote teamwork showed that the opinions of scientists and experts differ. This research can help remote teams and their managers to find what they can improve.
The Thickness of Galaxy Disks from z = 5 to 0 Probed by JWST
Authors: Lian Jianhui , Luo Li
Published: January 2024

Although a thick disk is a structure prevalent in local disk galaxies and also present in our home Galaxy, its formation and evolution are still unclear. Whether the thick disk is born thick and/or gradually heated to be thick after formation is under debate. To disentangle these two scenarios, one effective approach is to inspect the thickness of young disk galaxies in the high-redshift Universe. In this work we study the vertical structure of 191 edge-on galaxies spanning redshift from 0.2 to 5 using JWST NIRCAM imaging observations. For each galaxy, we retrieve the vertical surface brightness profile at 1 R
e and fit a sech2 function that has been convolved with the line spread function. The obtained scale height of galaxies at z > 1.5 shows no clear dependence on redshift, with a median value in remarkable agreement with that of the Milky Way’s thick disk. This suggests that local thick disks are already thick when they were formed in early times and secular heating is unlikely to be the main driver of thick disk formation. For galaxies at z < 1.5, however, the disk scale height decreases systematically toward lower redshift, with low-redshift galaxies having comparable scale height with that of the Milky Way’s thin disk. This cosmic evolution of disk thickness favors an upside-down formation scenario of galaxy disks.
Tidal Disruption of Near-Earth Asteroids during Close Encounters with Terrestrial Planets
Authors: Granvik Mikael , Walsh Kevin J.
Published: January 2024

Numerical modeling has long suggested that gravitationally bound (or so-called rubble-pile) near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) can be destroyed by tidal forces during close and slow encounters with terrestrial planets. However, tidal disruptions of NEAs have never been directly observed nor have they been directly attributed to any families of NEAs. Here we show population-level evidence for the tidal disruption of NEAs during close encounters with Earth and Venus. Debiased model distributions of NEA orbits and absolute magnitudes based on observations by the Catalina Sky Survey during 2005–2012 underpredict the number of NEAs with perihelion distances coinciding with the semimajor axes of Venus and Earth. A detailed analysis of the orbital distributions of the excess NEAs shows that their characteristics agree with the prediction for tidal disruptions, and they cannot be explained by observational selection effects or orbital dynamics. Accounting for tidal disruptions in evolutionary models of the NEA population partly bridges the gap between the predicted rate of impacts by asteroids with diameters of tens of meters and observed statistics of fireballs in the same size range.

The Psyllinae (Hemiptera, Psyllidae) from Gunung Kinabalu (Malaysia, Sabah)
Authors: Burckhardt Daniel
Published: January 2024

Five species of Psyllinae are recognised from Gunung Kinabalu, all previously unknown, and are formally described and named: Cacopsylla graciliforcepssp. nov., C. kinabaluensissp. nov., C. myrsinessp. nov., C. photiniaesp. nov. and Psylla cirritasp. nov. Another species similar to P. cirrita remains undescribed due to lack of sufficient material. Two Philippine species closely related to C. kinabaluensis are transferred to Cacopsylla as Cacopsylla aranetae (Miyatake, 1972), comb. nov. and Cacopsylla bakeri (Crawford, 1919), comb. nov. (both from Psylla). Three of the Cacopsylla species probably represent Palaearctic faunal elements (Cacopsylla graciliforceps, C. myrsines and C. photiniae). Host information is available only for Cacopsylla myrsines and C. photiniae, viz. Myrsine dasyphylla (Primulaceae) and Photinia davidiana (Rosaceae), respectively. Myrsine has not been previously reported as host genus of Psylloidea. The five new species bring the number of known Psylloidea species from Gunung Kinabalu to 22. The biogeographic relationships found in the flora, i.e. Oriental elements predominate at lower altitudes, and Himalayan and Australian elements are dominant at altitudes above 2500 m, are reflected in the psyllid fauna (Oriental 4 spp.; Australian 13 spp., Himalayan 3 spp.; unknown 2 spp.). Of the 22 species known from Gunung Kinabalu, 18 are only known from there. This high number is probably only partly due to endemism and is partly due to insufficient knowledge of the psyllid fauna of Borneo and of the tropics in general.
Biomarkers of the relationship of particulate matter exposure with the progression of chronic respiratory diseases
Authors: Kim Junghyun , Chung Soo Jie , Kim Woo Jin
Published: January 2024

A high level of particulate matter (PM) in air is correlated with the onset and development of chronic respiratory diseases. We conducted a systematic literature review, searching the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases for studies of biomarkers of the effect of PM exposure on chronic respiratory diseases and the progression thereof. Thirty-eight articles on biomarkers of the progression of chronic respiratory diseases after exposure to PM were identified, four of which were eligible for review. Serum, sputum, urine, and exhaled breath condensate biomarkers of the effect of PM exposure on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma had a variety of underlying mechanisms. We summarized the functions of biomarkers linked to COPD and asthma and their biological plausibility. We identified few biomarkers of PM exposure-related progression of chronic respiratory diseases. The included studies were restricted to those on biomarkers of the relationship of PM exposure with the progression of chronic respiratory diseases. The predictive power of biomarkers of the effect of PM exposure on chronic respiratory diseases varies according to the functions of the biomarkers.
Finite ion size effects on I-V relations via Poisson-Nernst-Planck systems with two cations: A case study
Authors: Wang Yiwei , Zhang Mingji
Published: January 2024

We consider a quasi-one-dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck model with two cations having the same valances and one anion. Bikerman's local hard-sphere potential is included to account for ion size effects. Under some further restrictions on the boundary conditions of the two cations, we obtain approximations of the I-V (current-voltage) relations by treating the ion sizes as small parameters. Critical potentials are identified, which play critical roles in characterizing finite ion size effects on ionic flows. Nonlinear interplays between system parameters, such as boundary concentrations and diffusion coefficients, are analyzed. To provide more intuitive illustrations of our analytical results and better understanding of the dynamics of ionic flows through membrane channels, numerical simulations are performed.
Todos echarán contrapunto a La Folla»: la improvisación colectiva en el barroco musical español (ca. 1600-1750)
Authors: Fiorentino Giuseppe
Published: January 2024

Varias fuentes de los siglos XVII y XVIII indican que en las catedrales españolas durante la liturgia se solía improvisar una tipología colectiva de contrapunto sobre canto llano. A diferencia de lo que ocurría en el contrapunto concertado, descrito en los tratados teóricos a partir del siglo XVI, en el contrapunto colectivo podía actuar un número indefinido de cantores —incluso todos los cantores de la capilla— a los que en ocasiones se sumaban también los ministriles. Además, esta masa de músicos improvisaba sin necesidad de «concertarse», o sea, de ponerse de acuerdo previamente sobre las estrategias a utilizar y las principales características de la improvisación, según las reglas proporcionadas por los tratados de la época para realizar un contrapunto concertado. Mientras en los tratados de contrapunto escritos en castellano las referencias a esta praxis de improvisación son escasas y genéricas, teóricos italianos como Scipione Cerreto (ca. 1551 - ca. 1633), Lodovico Zacconi (1555-1627), Adriano Banchieri (1568-1634) o Giovanni D’Avella (fl. 1657) describen con cierto detalle las técnicas para improvisar de forma colectiva. En este artículo, utilizando tanto fuentes documentales como tratados de teoría musical, se estudiará la praxis del contrapunto colectivo, para establecer su uso efectivo en la liturgia y subrayar sus diferencias con respecto al contrapunto concertado de la época. Además, se llevará a cabo una propuesta, fundamentada en la lectura de tratados de teoría musical, para reconstruir las características técnicas y sonoras de esta praxis colectiva de improvisación.
Placeres y dolores: la representación de lo nacional en el teatro lírico peruano del siglo XIX
Authors: Vega Salvatierra Zoila Elena
Published: January 2024

Variadas canciones y «bailes de la tierra» aparecen mencionados en el teatro colonial limeño desde el siglo XVIII como representación de lo indígena en tonadillas y loas, pero en el siglo siguiente se generalizó su empleo como representantes sonoros de diferentes concepciones de lo nacional. ¿Cómo sucedió este trasvase de contenidos y en qué contextos se dio este fenómeno? La llegada de la zarzuela española con su amplio vocabulario musical enraizado en la música rural y urbana estimuló el desarrollo del teatro lírico peruano que, en un ejercicio de equivalencia, recurrió al empleo de los géneros musicales de las localías en la producción escénica. En algunas obras estas canciones y danzas se usaron para encarnar lo peruano en un discurso unitario; en otras, aparecieron como símbolo sonoro de un pasado exótico y finalmente se recurrió a ellas como representación de diversos grupos étnicos y sociales en el entramado de la ciudad capital. El presente trabajo propone un estudio de géneros como el yaraví, la zamacueca y el huayno que aparecen en obras líricas de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX estrenadas en Lima como La zarzuela en la capital del Perú (1857), Placeres y Dolores (1867), ¡Pobre Indio! (1868), Atahualpa (1877) y Lima (1891).
Manger de la viande à Rome
Authors: Tilloi d’Ambrosi Dimitri
Published: January 2024

Dans le monde antique, la viande est la nourriture du sacrifice et du banquet, mais elle peut aussi marquer une hiérarchie sociale dans la répartition des morceaux. De nombreuses sources permettent l’étude de la viande, enrichie plus récemment par l’archéozoologie. L’analyse des textes médicaux permet d’élargir notre connaissance de la consommation de viande antique, notamment grâce aux catalogues d’aliments. La diététique confère à chaque aliment un ensemble de propriétés qui permettent de le situer au sein des hiérarchies définies par les médecins et de le définir comme sain ou malsain. La mise en perspective de l’approche médicale de la consommation de la viande avec les réalités sociales, culturelles et religieuses est un moyen de saisir toute la complexité qui entoure cette nourriture partagée entre les hommes et les dieux.
Posibilidades y limitaciones de los análisis faunísticos para la caracterización de los últimos momentos de un asentamiento fronterizo andalusí
Authors: Garrido-García José Antonio , Gilotte Sophie
Published: January 2024

El asentamiento de Albalat (en la actual Extremadura) vivió su último periodo de actividad en la primera mitad del siglo XII, con una comunidad islamizada bien estructurada y un marcado carácter castrense debido a su situación fronteriza con los reinos cristianos. Uno de los retos de este trabajo es evaluar el impacto del hipotético desgate económico que pudo conllevar un ambiente de guerra latente a través del registro faunístico. Además de informar sobre la explotación del entorno natural, los resultados muestran como algunos recursos (cuernas de cérvido y conchas de Unionidae) fueron aprovechados en actividades artesanales que convivieron con una agricultura y con una ganadería que, como ocurre en general en al-Andalus, se basaba en la cría de Caprini domésticos. Las limitaciones del sistema económico generadas por la situación bélica quedan reflejadas en sistemas de carnicería muy simples (al parecer, desarrollados por los propios consumidores finales) y una importante contribución a la dieta de animales que aparecen como marginales en el resto de al-Andalus (vacunos jóvenes, cérvidos y, sobre todo, equinos), que relacionamos con una disponibilidad escasa de los Caprini domésticos consumidos normalmente. Finalmente, el análisis de ciertos patrones detectados en la disposición estratigráfica de los restos indica que el proceso de declive no se limitó únicamente al asedio final, sino que fue de larga duración, permitiendo el desarrollo de varios niveles de vertidos que sufrieron adecuaciones diversas para mantener el uso de calles y espacios privados.

Wing-In-Ground (WIG) Effect Vehicle can be differentiated into manned and unmanned aerial vehicle. These aircraft are designed in aerodynamic shapes to enables them to glide at low altitude above the sea surface. Proper design of wings and stabilizer is crucial to provide effective lifting force with minimum total body weight. A study was conducted to determine the orientation and shape of the wing and stabilizer for a new WIG Effect vehicle prototype. Three-dimensional modeling and air flow analysis were carried out to analyze the lifting force generated under the provided body construction materials and total gross weight. In this study, two wing designs and wing orientations were studied since the WIG Effect vehicle is not equipped with wing aileron or wing flap. The first design is called as original design which suggested by industrial fabricator and the second design is called as modified design suggested from this study for design improvement. The modified wing exhibited the largest lifting force, which applied the Bernoulli’s Principle in the design. Modified wing at 20° angle of attack has been selected as the best orientation of wing.

Published: January 2024

In the HVAC system, the required energy consumption is very large so that energy saving processes are needed. One effective method in this energy saving process is the heat recovery process using a Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger. Various studies have been carried out regarding the application of HPHE in HVAC systems to reduce temperature and maintain air humidity. In its application, there are many factors that affect the effectiveness of using this HPHE. Therefore, in this research, an optimization process will be carried out by considering the number of HPHE modules, inlet air temperature, and inlet air velocity. The modelling is performed to predict energy recovery and payback period by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Optimization study was conducted to investigate the optimum energy recovery and payback period by varying HPHE parameters experiment.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: Farmers of beef cattle in the Regency of Bolaang Mongondow Utara often dealt with fluctuation in the production cost of crops and cattle and restrictions of production factors, resulting in relatively lower production and the obtained income of farming. Consequently, farmers conducted six integration patterns of crops and beef cattle in the dried area. The evaluation was necessarily performed to know which farming pattern was the integrated farming pattern and cattle that can result in a maximal income for farmers.Research Method: The research was conducted in two Villages, such as Sidodadi and Sangtumbolang, District of Sangkub, Regency of Bolaang Mongondow Utara, which is the largest dried area in the Regency of Bolaang Mongondow Utara; and, farmers performed the integrated farming of crops and cattle. 80 farmers were selected by purposive sampling to obtain the required information for this research. Then, data analysis employed a linear programming model with the assisting tools of LINDO software.Results:  Of six activities in the integrated farming, 3 activities of annual cultivation resulting in maximal income by Rp 57,186,127.44 were corn-corn-corn + (and cattle), onion-onion-onion + (and cattle), corn-soybean-the uncultivated field + (and cattle). The cultivation pattern of corn-corn-corn + (and cattle) was proposedly applied in the area of 0,638 hectares; for the cultivation pattern of onion-onion-onion + (and cattle), it was suggested to apply in the area of 0,439 hectares; and, the cultivation patter of corn-soybean-the uncultivated are + (and cattle) was applied in the area of 0,296 hectares.Limitation of the Research:  The research was limited to the integrated pattern of corn and horticulture and beef cattle in the dried field.Originality/Value: The research has provided new information on the development standard of the integrated farming of crops and cattle in the dried area as a solution to lower agriculture productivity resulting in lower income for farmers.
Machine learning model of facial expression outperforms models using analgesia nociception index and vital signs to predict postoperative pain intensity: a pilot study
Authors: Park Insun , Park Jae Hyon , Yoon Jongjin , Na Hyo-Seok , Oh Ah-Young , Ryu Junghee , Koo Bon-Wook
Published: January 2024

Background: Few studies have evaluated the use of automated artificial intelligence (AI)-based pain recognition in postoperative settings or the correlation with pain intensity. In this study, various machine learning (ML)-based models using facial expressions, the analgesia nociception index (ANI), and vital signs were developed to predict postoperative pain intensity, and their performances for predicting severe postoperative pain were compared.Methods: In total, 155 facial expressions from patients who underwent gastrectomy were recorded postoperatively; one blinded anesthesiologist simultaneously recorded the ANI score, vital signs, and patient self-assessed pain intensity based on the 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS). The ML models’ area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) were calculated and compared using DeLong’s test.Results: ML models were constructed using facial expressions, ANI, vital signs, and different combinations of the three datasets. The ML model constructed using facial expressions best predicted an NRS ≥ 7 (AUROC 0.93) followed by the ML model combining facial expressions and vital signs (AUROC 0.84) in the test-set. ML models constructed using combined physiological signals (vital signs, ANI) performed better than models based on individual parameters for predicting NRS ≥ 7, although the AUROCs were inferior to those of the ML model based on facial expressions (all P < 0.050). Among these parameters, absolute and relative ANI had the worst AUROCs (0.69 and 0.68, respectively) for predicting NRS ≥ 7.Conclusions: The ML model constructed using facial expressions best predicted severe postoperative pain (NRS ≥ 7) and outperformed models constructed from physiological signals.
Spontaneous lens absorption following nonpenetrating ocular trauma
Authors: Sharma Jigisha , Naik Hrishikesh , Dabhade Rachana , Shinde Sarika
Published: January 2024

Spontaneous absorption of the crystalline lens although uncommon has been infrequently reported in the literature, going back to as far as two centuries. A 60-year-old female patient, with no previous significant ocular or systemic history, presented with a history of gradual painless progressive diminution vision in both eyes for 3 years. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed aphakia with an inferior posterior capsular defect in the right eye and a mature cataract in the left. All hematological investigations were within the normal limits. A manual SICS with a rigid polymethyl methacrylate intraocular lens (IOL) was performed in the left eye first, followed by secondary IOL (iris-claw) implantation in the right eye. The patient made a complete recovery with a significant postoperative visual improvement in both eyes. Complete, asymptomatic, and spontaneous absorption of the crystalline lens can present as an uncommon sequela of nonpenetrating blunt ocular trauma, as described by the following case.

ABSTRACT

Background:

Five-fifths of all incidents of blindness in Saudi Arabia may be attributed to cataracts. Cataracts are the second major cause of blindness, responsible for 35.5% of cases. Therefore, the purpose of the research was to measure the visual acuity improvement after cataract surgery in children.

Materials and Methods:

This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic reviews. All procedures followed the recommendations of the Cochrane handbook. Studies of varying study designs, both published and unpublished, are included. Retrospective studies with outcomes of pediatric cataract surgery were identified from various databases.

Result:

After an initial screening, 108 out of 167 items were deemed unsuitable for publication. There were 59 full-text papers assessed for inclusion, and only seven matched the criteria. All the articles included were of a very high standard. Both the duration of therapy and the target population varied widely between the studies.

Conclusion:

The results indicated that the majority of childhood cataracts are hereditary. Primary posterior capsulectomy and anterior vitrectomy combined with cataract extraction and intra-ocular lens implantation is the treatment of choice for pediatric cataracts. It is recommended that surgery be performed in a properly equipped facility staffed by trained, cooperative personnel and that different procedures be used to enhance post-operative follow-up.

Due to their distinctive look, seahorses are famous in the aquarium trade and traded worldwide for their alleged therapeutic benefits. The present study was conducted to identify the causative agents for larval mortality of Hippocampus kuda and to find a treatment to reduce larval mortality at an ornamental fish hatchery in Sri Lanka. Bacteria causing vibriosis in H. kuda larvae were isolated and identified using morphological and biochemical tests. The disc diffusion method was used with 30 μg of chloramphenicol, streptomycin, tetracycline and ampicillin to evaluate antibiotic susceptibility of isolated bacteria. As pathogenic vibrios were more sensitive to tetracycline, the experimentally infected H. kuda larvae were exposed to 20-50 μg/L tetracycline for 30 days. V. alginolyticus, Vibrio splendidus, V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides were found in H. kuda larvae, while V. alginolyticus and V. splendidus were encountered repeatedly. V. alginolyticus, V. mimicus, V. fluvialis, Aeromonas sp., Micrococcus spp., M. leteus and Bacillus circulans were identified from the larval culture water. V. alginolyticus was sensitive to chloramphenicol and tetracycline, while V. splendidus was sensitive to tetracycline. Tetracycline, 30 mg/L as a bath treatment, effectively treats vibriosis in larval rearing tanks of H. kuda.

In the modern business landscape, the symbiotic relationship between employee training and business performance in a form of sales and marketing aspects has become increasingly evident. This research delves into the pivotal role of vocational training within European companies, particularly in the context of their impact on business outcomes of organizations. Through a deep analysis of secondary data from the Continuing Vocational Training Survey (CVTS) carried out by Eurostat, this paper uncovers the link between effective training practices and their subsequent impact on sales performance as well as interconnection with marketing initiatives. The findings reveal that businesses can significantly enhance its strategies by investing in employee training programs that foster skills demanded by the evolving market. The results underscore that companies adopting a holistic approach to employee training and aligning it with sales activities are better poised to thrive in a competitive landscape. This article serves as a valuable resource for business leaders, HR professionals, sales managers, educators, and researchers looking to understand and harness the interplay between employee development and business success to navigate the dynamic business world effectively.
A combinatorial method to find sharp lower bounds on flip distances
Authors: Pournin Lionel
Published: January 2024

Consider the triangulations of a convex polygon with $n$ vertices. In 1988, Daniel Sleator, Robert Tarjan, and William Thurston have shown that the flip distance of two such triangulations is at most $2n-10$ when $n$ is greater than 12 and that this bound is sharp when $n$ is large enough. They also conjecture that `"large enough'' means greater than 12. A proof of this conjecture was recently announced by the author. A sketch of this proof is given here, with emphasis on the intuitions underlying the construction of lower bounds on the flip distance of two triangulations.

En 1988, Daniel Sleator, Robert Tarjan et William Thurston ont montré que la distance, en nombre de flips, de deux triangulations d’un polygone convexe de $n$ sommets est au plus $2n-10$ quand $n$ est supérieur à 12. Ils ont également montré que cette borne est atteinte si $n$ est suffisamment grand et ils conjecturent qu’il existe deux triangulations à distance $2n-10$ dès que $n$ est supérieur à 12. Une preuve de cette conjecture a récemment été proposée par l’auteur. Une ébauche de cette preuve est présentée ici qui explique de manière intuitive les méthodes permettant d’obtenir des bornes inférieures sur la distance, en nombre de flips, de deux triangulations.
Asymptotics of symmetric polynomials
Authors: Gorin Vadim , Panova Greta
Published: January 2024

We develop a new method for studying the asymptotics of symmetric polynomials of representation–theoretic origin as the number of variables tends to infinity. Several applications of our method are presented: We prove a number of theorems concerning characters of infinite–dimensional unitary group and their $q$–deformations. We study the behavior of uniformly random lozenge tilings of large polygonal domains and find the GUE–eigenvalues distribution in the limit. We also investigate similar behavior for Alternating Sign Matrices (equivalently, six–vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions). Finally, we compute the asymptotic expansion of certain observables in the $O(n=1)$ dense loop model.

Nous développons une nouvelle méthode pour étudier l’asymptotique des polynômes symétriques d’origine représentation théorique quand le nombre de variables tend vers l’infini. Plusieurs applications de notre méthode seront présentées : Nous démontrons un certain nombre de théorèmes concernant les caractères du groupe unitaire de dimension infinie et leurs $q$–déformations. Nous étudions le comportement des pavages en losange à distributionuniforme et aléatoire de grands domaines polygonaux et nous trouvons la distribution des valeurs propres des GUE à la limite. Nous étudions également le comportement similaire des ASM. Enfin, nous calculons l’expansion asymptotique de certains paramètres observables en $O(n=1)$ modèle de la boucle dense.
Cyclic Sieving of Increasing Tableaux
Authors: Pechenik Oliver
Published: January 2024

An $\textit{increasing tableau}$ is a semistandard tableau with strictly increasing rows and columns. It is well known that the Catalan numbers enumerate both rectangular standard Young tableaux of two rows and also Dyck paths. We generalize this to a bijection between rectangular 2-row increasing tableaux and small Schröder paths. Using the jeu de taquin for increasing tableaux of [Thomas–Yong '09], we then present a new instance of the cyclic sieving phenomenon of [Reiner–Stanton–White '04].

Un $\textit{tableau croissant}$ est un tableau semi-standard avec les lignes et les colonnes croissantes au sens strict. Il est bien connu que les nombres de Catalan énumèrent les tableaux de Young standard rectangulaires de deux lignes et aussi les chemins de Dyck. Nous généralisons ceci pour une bijection entre tableaux croissants rectangulaires à 2 lignes et petits chemins de Schröder. Utilisant le jeu de taquin de [Thomas–Yong ’09] pour tableaux croissants, nous préesentons ensuite une nouvelle instance du phénomène du crible cyclique de [Reiner–Stanton–White ’04].
Gog, Magog and Schützenberger II: left trapezoids
Authors: Biane Philippe , Cheballah Hayat
Published: January 2024

We are interested in finding an explicit bijection between two families of combinatorial objects: Gog and Magog triangles. These two families are particular classes of Gelfand-Tsetlin triangles and are respectively in bijection with alternating sign matrices (ASM) and totally symmetric self complementary plane partitions (TSSCPP). For this purpose, we introduce left Gog and GOGAm trapezoids. We conjecture that these two families of trapezoids are equienumerated and we give an explicit bijection between the trapezoids with one or two diagonals.

Nous nous intéressons ici à trouver une bijection explicite entre deux familles d’objets combinatoire: les triangles Gog et Magog. Ces deux familles d’objets sont des classes particulières des triangles de Gelfand-Tsetlin et sont respectivement en bijection avec les matrices à signes alternants (ASMs) et les partitions planes totalement symétriques auto-complémentaires (TSSCPPs). Pour ce faire, nous introduisons les Gog et les GOGAm trapèzes gauches. Nous conjecturons que ces deux familles de trapèzes sont équipotents et nous donnons une bijection explicite entre ces trapèzes à une et deux lignes.
capelo cardenalicio en la Sevilla del siglo de oro. Espicopologio, Dignidad y Misión
Authors: Gámez Martín José
Published: January 2024

En la Sevilla barroca se recibía con júbilo la subida al cardenalato de su prelado sabiendo que el capelo rojo es la máxima distinción eclesiástica y un reconocimiento muy personal de afecto del Sumo Pontífice. Se estudia en el trabajo el protocolo y rúbricas del nombramiento analizando la existencia de una ciudad que conoce el esplendor y la crisis sin dejar su fe católica y su manifestación popular desde la aguerrida devoción en la búsqueda del dogma de la Inmaculada Concepción o el ejemplo de apostolado social del venerable Miguel Mañara.
EFECTO DEL CLIMA LABORAL EN EL COMPROMISO ORGANIZACIONAL DE LOS TRABAJADORES. CASO: HOSPITAL UNIVERSITARIO DE GUAYAQUIL 2023
Authors: Vera Chonana Roxana , Ayala García Mariuxi
Published: January 2024

El clima laboral y el compromiso organizacional son dos factores clave para el éxito de cualquier organización. El clima laboral se refiere a la percepción que tienen los empleados de su entorno de trabajo, mientras que el compromiso organizacional se refiere a la medida en que los empleados se identifican con su organización y están motivados a contribuir a su éxito. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la relación entre el clima laboral y el compromiso organizacional de los trabajadores del Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo de tipo correlacional utilizando un modelo de regresión lineal simple. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 310 trabajadores del hospital. Los resultados mostraron que el clima laboral promedio es de 3.42 en una escala de 1 a 5. El compromiso organizacional promedio es de 3.35 en la misma escala. El análisis de regresión mostró que las dimensiones del clima laboral relacionadas con el reconocimiento, la autonomía y la confianza son las que más explican el compromiso organizacional. En conclusión, los resultados sugieren que los trabajadores del Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil están moderadamente satisfechos con el clima laboral general del hospital, pero que aún hay margen de mejora.

Published: January 2024

Lansia adalah orang lanjut usia yang sedang mengalami perubahan biologis, fisik, psikis, dan sosial. Perubahan ini berdampak pada banyak aspek kehidupan, termasuk kesehatan. Perubahan yang akan terjadi pada lansia akibat proses penuaan menjadikan mereka rentan mengalami permasalahan fisik dan psikososial. Seseorang akan menghadapi banyak penyakit ketika memasuki usia lanjut seperti penyakit degeneratif, menurunnya fungsi tubuh, tulang semakin rapuh, berkurangnya kemampuan beraktivitas, berkurangnya kemampuan menjaga kesehatan, dan menjaga keseimbangan tubuh serta resiko terjatuh. Perubahan keadaan ini dapat mempengaruhi evaluasi diri sehingga menyebabkan lansia kehilangan harga diri, merasa tidak berharga, dan merasa tidak berguna sehingga berujung pada rendahnya harga diri. Terapi okupasi kelompok (TAK) adalah terapi yang diberikan kepada lansia secara berkelompok dengan cara memotivasi lansia untuk mengingat kejadian atau pengalaman masa lalu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menerapkan model terapi okupasi kelompok sebagai alat komunikasi terkait stimulasi kognitif untuk meningkatkan kemandirian dan rasa hormat dari orang yang lebih tua. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain quasi eksperimen sebelum-sesudah, tanpa kelompok kontrol, menggunakan teknik kuota sampling dan metode simple random sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 15 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setelah menjalani TAK kelompok pada lansia, harga diri meningkat.
