Plan de internacionalizacion de universidades regionales chilenas
Authors: Rowland López Fernando
Published: July 2023

Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (UTFSM) nace gracias a la visión filantrópica de Don Federico Santa María. Se encuentra localizada en Valparaíso, pero también cuenta con sedes en Santiago y Concepción. La internacionalización de las universidades chilenas es alta en el caso de la investigación, sin embargo, en materia de sedes de las universidades chilenas en el extranjero es casi nula. En este artículo se propone la internacionalización de la UTFSM en la región de Cuyo (Provincia de Mendoza, Provincia de San Juan y Provincia de San Luis), tomando como base las relaciones históricas entre Chile y Argentina, las cuales nacen mucho antes del proceso independentista latinoamericano. Se concluye que existen diferentes maneras para lograr esta internacionalización como la apertura de sedes o el intercambio académico.

SIKAP PROFESIONAL GURU DALAM PERSPEKTIF PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
Authors: Usman Usman
Published: July 2023

In studying the professional attitude of teachers in the perspective of Islamic education, 4 basic questions have been developed, namely: (1) what is the meaning of the professional attitude of teachers; (2) what is the target of the teacher's professional attitude; (3) how to develop the teacher's professional attitude; and (4) how is the teacher's professional attitude in the perspective of Islamic education?

To answer this problem, the authors examine it through literature searches, both based on theory, trade regulations, and through studies of the Koran and the Hadith of the Prophet.

The results of a literature search found that: (1) the teacher's professional attitude is an action or activity in the form of a good example in carrying out duties as a teacher who has high knowledge, attitudes, and skills in carrying out basic teacher duties; (2) the teacher's professional attitude includes: (a) attitude towards students; (b) attitudes towards leaders/leaders; (c) attitudes towards colleagues; (d) attitudes towards professional organizations; (e) attitude towards work; (f) attitudes towards the workplace; and (g) attitudes towards legislation; (3) the development of this professional attitude can be carried out through two stages, namely: pre-service education (pre-service education) and in-service education/in-service training (in-service education/training); and (4) the attitude of professionalism in Islamic education, namely the actions of a teacher who not only teaches but also educates with only scientific and academic qualifications, but more importantly has commendable morals, such as having patience in teaching, conveying what is called for with full honesty , and carry out educational activities with sincerity.

It is hoped that this article can provide benefits and insights for readers regarding the professional attitude of teachers in an Islamic perspective and make it a basis for thinking and acting in carrying out the duties of the teaching profession, so that it is not only as giving up duties and obligations, but at the same time as worship on the side of Allah SWT

Статтю присвячено загальній проблемі реформування сектору безпеки і оборони України. Керівні документи з питань національної безпеки держави містять основні вимоги до реформування сектору безпеки і оборони України, визначають раціональне використання наявних сил та засобів щодо забезпечення достатнього рівня воєнної безпеки держави. Практичне розв'язання зазначеної проблеми потребує розроблення принципів спільного застосування силових і несилових суб’єктів сектору безпеки і оборони України, підвищення рівня їх живучості в умовах впливу воєнних загроз, удосконалення методологічного апарату визначення цілей і завдань цим суб’єктам, а також оцінювання ефективності їх досягнення (виконання). За основу прийнято Концепцію забезпечення національної стійкості, схвалену Указом Президента України від 27.09.2021 № 479. Цю концепцію спрямовано на підвищення рівня стійкості системи державного управління, суспільства та України загалом. Водночас принципи та цілі, що задекларовані у Концепції національної системи стійкості, дублюють деякі принципи функціонування системи забезпечення національної безпеки, не враховують принципу превентивності в організації протидії воєнним загрозам. У прийнятій Концепції недостатньо розглянуто принцип оборонної достатності, що передбачає фінансування та підтримання оборонного потенціалу держави на рівні, достатньому для відсічі і стримування збройної агресії проти України, з урахуванням поточного стану і перспектив розвитку безпекового середовища у світі та регіоні довкола України. Завдання щодо виявлення негативних тенденцій розвитку безпекового середовища та мінімізації їх впливу на рівень забезпечення воєнної безпеки держави доцільно формулювати у Щорічному посланні Президента України до Верховної Ради. Потребує формалізованого представлення цільова функція національної системи стійкості, яка б враховувала часові та ресурсні обмеження на її функціонування.

Rehabilitation approach and results of using the biofeedback method (GIGER MD device) in children with neurogenic bladder
Authors: Cvitkovic-Roic Andrea , Mikulic Danijel , Turudic Daniel , Milosevic Danko , Roic Goran , Matijevic Valentina
Published: July 2023

Background

GIGER MD device applies a biofeedback method through stimulated coordinated rhythmic and dynamic movements of the trunk and extremities in an anti-gravity position, thus helping to regain lost motor functions.

Methods

In this article, the performance of the GIGER MD device was evaluated in 36 children with neurogenic bladder measuring gait speed, voiding bladder capacity, deviation from the age-adjusted bladder capacity (measured using the Koff scale), and urinary incontinence.

Results

Children using the GIGER MD device had an increase in voiding bladder capacity (33.79%, median volume increase of 50 ml) with a subsequent median decrease in median age-adjusted bladder capacity by 45.50% (median deviation before was 36% vs. 16% after treatment). The number of urinary incontinence episodes also reduced by 55.57% (7–3 episodes per day), and the 20-meter motor gait speed increased by 14.26% (from 23 to 19 s).

Conclusion

Children who follow the GIGER MD therapy regularly for a period of 6 months show that CNS functional damage can be significantly improved.
Clinical predictors of psychotropic medication prescription in children with ASD of the ELENA cohort
Authors: Geoffray Marie-maude , Baltazar Matias , Michelon Cécile , Jurek Lucie , Baghdadli Amaria
Published: July 2023

Psychotropic drugs are often used to treat behavior problems in ASD with some evidence supporting efficacity (e.g.: risperidone and irritability) but also significant side effects at the short and longer-term. It is then essential to know better the factors associated with the prescription of these medications and potentially implement early behavioral and psychosocial intervention or cognitive remediation before to use medication. We designed a case–control study based on the population of the ELENA cohort to assess the factors associated with early psychotropic drugs use in children with ASD. Externalized behavior symptoms (measured by the Child Behavior Checklist) is the leading risk factor during the first years of follow-up (aOR = 2.8; CI [1.04; 7.67]; p = 0.04). Age, gender, autism severity, adaptive behaviors, or internalized behaviors were not associated with psychotropic medication prescription. Low IQ and parents who had received training tended to increase the risk of psychotropic medication prescription during follow-up but were not statistically significant. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms of externalizing behaviour, early appropriate information for parents about treatment with and without medication, early analysis of externalising behaviour and targeted treatments.
Going online: a qualitative study of the impact of web-based arts interventions in primary care during COVID Lockdown
Authors: Tse Urika , Cooper Max , Drew Emma , Singh Neil
Published: July 2023

Background

Arts-On-Prescription (AOP) programmes are growing in popularity in European primary care. To meet social distancing rules of the COVID-19 pandemic, AOP workshops were moved onto online video conferencing platformism. It is unknown whether the format (in-person versus online) affects how patients perceive these programmes and their overall success.

Aim

To investigate the impact of arts programmes on the health and wellbeing of primary care patients and whether the online format affects the accessibility or intended benefit of such programmes.

Method

We conducted a qualitative study at a single primary care centre in Brighton, UK, where numerous AOP programmes are offered. We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with nine participants. Interviews were audio recorded and subsequently transcribed verbatim. Transcriptions underwent thematic analysis by two independent researchers, first independently, then collaboratively.

Results

The online format provided ‘a form of meeting people in a safe environment’ for those shielding from COVID-19. Some participants preferred the online format to face-to-face workshops, particularly those with physical disabilities or social anxiety. Teething issues with the technology at the start were reported by some. Participants greatly value the service, reporting numerous benefits to social, physical, and mental wellbeing (particularly in addressing anxiety symptoms). Workshops such as singing and dancing helped the management of chronic physical symptoms.

Conclusion

Participants valued the workshops as a space for peer support and patient empowerment. These findings must be viewed in the context of social isolation arising from lockdown. Online delivery offers potential for widening access to arts interventions. Further research should explore the opinions of vulnerable groups.

Penentuan Return Saham Syariah dengan Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) melalui Pendekatan Vector Autoregressive (VAR)
Authors: Diyah Miasary Seftina
Published: July 2023

Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) is a pricing model that can be used to determine the expected return of a security. It assumes that there is more than one factor affecting the expected return. The risk of APT is part of the sensitivity of macroeconomic factors to return security. The identification of factors that affect security returns is one of the most important stages of APT modeling. This is because the APT does not specify how factors affect the return on a security. One method that can be used to identify macroeconomic factors is Vector Autoregressive (VAR). An overview of the relationship between return security and macroeconomic factors analyzed using VAR by going through the stages of checking the stationary data, determining the optimal lag length, testing Granger causality between variables, estimating the VAR model and Portmanteau diagnostic test, compiling the APT equation and calculating the expected stock return from APT models. Based on the results of the study, we conclude that at a significance level of 5%, only INDF shares show Granger causality with macroeconomic factors, such as the BI rate, money supply, and world oil prices. Furthermore, the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) model implies that the expected return on INDF stock is lower than the actual return. This means that INDF's stock is undervalued, which means that future stock returns will be lower.

Published: July 2023

Efficacy of various fungal and bacterial antagonists isolated from cumin rhizosphere were evaluated against wilt of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cumini was observed under laboratory and green house conditions. The disease control potentiality of 15 selected antagonists used as seed treatment and soil application against Fusarium wilt was also studied under field conditions. The fungal antagonists Trichoderma viride (SIF-120), T. pseudokoningii (Tp-50), T. harzianum (Th-1) and C. sitophila (SIF-444) significantly (Pâ‰¤0.05) inhibited the mycelial growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. cumini. The bacterial antagonists Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf-5), P. fluorescens (Pfg-33), Bacillus subtilis (Bs-10) and B. subtilis (Bs-77) were found highly inhibitory to the pathogen under laboratory conditions. The seed treatment and soil application with T. viride (SIF-120), P. fluorescens (Pf-5) and T. pseudokoningii (Tp-50) provided effective disease control under green house conditions. T. viride (SIF-120) and P. fluorescens (Pf-5) bioagents used as seed treatment and soil application provided maximum control (70.03 and 67.14%, respectively), of cumin wilt under field conditions. Maximum root length, shoot length and dry weight were observed in response to T. viride (SIF-120) closely followed by P. fluorescens (Pf-5) treatments. Highest cumin seed yield (6.05 q/ha) was recorded in T. viride (SIF-120) treatment followed by P. fluorescens (Pf-5) and T. pseudokoningii (Tp-50) treatments.

O pensamento complexo e o futuro da formação analítica
Authors: Katz Gildo
Published: July 2023

O autor examina o impacto do pensamento complexo na formação psicanalítica. Parte da ideia de que patologias que anteriormente não eram passíveis de análise constituem-se na grande maioria de pessoas que procuram tratamento. Salienta que as rápidas mudanças que ocorrem no mundo atual levam os representantes da transmissão do conhecimento analítico a necessitarem adaptar-se ao momento. Chama a atenção para o fato de que a psicanálise vem sofrendo modificações nas quais o modelo anterior, empírico, de cunho positivista convive com o que se costumou denominar de pensamento complexo. Acredita que tal mudança é fundamental para o futuro da psicanálise em função de que o indivíduo é menos influenciado pelas pulsões e mais motivado pela necessidade de relação e de adaptação em um universo que se tornou mais ambíguo, complexo e dialético. Discorre sobre o paradigma da simplicidade salientando que ele é baseado no princípio da autoridade e em um conceito mestre dos quais os outros derivam. Já o pensamento complexo nunca será redutível a um conceito mestre, nunca será previsível. Acredita na necessidade das disciplinas dialogarem entre si porque nenhum sistema de conhecimento tem capacidade suficiente de conceber-se, explicar-se e se sustentar em seus próprios fundamentos. Pensa, também, que é necessário abandonar o princípio da certeza, da previsibilidade, da posição de autoridade sobre o paciente. Existe uma interação entre o paciente e o terapeuta que se denomina de intersubjetividade. Os modelos de complexidade irão introduzir novas categorias nos quais não se isolam objetos, mas estudam redes de objeto em um contexto no qual seria necessário acrescentar ao pensamento complexo a noção de rede, de atividade multidisciplinar e revisar o conceito de limite que na prática trata de sabermos não o quanto estamos separados do outro, mas o quanto estamos fazendo associações conforme ilustra seu exemplo clínico. Pensa que o futuro da formação analítica reside em mantermo-nos atentos ao risco de isolamento, ao mesmo tempo em que, sem abandonar os princípios básicos da psicanálise, procuremos permanentemente evoluir, mantendo-nos inseridos na rede, compreendendo que em lugar de um pensamento hierárquico, temos um pensamento heteroárquico. Finaliza enfatizando que o conhecimento de que o intercâmbio entre a visão clássica determinista e o pensamento complexo é parte essencial do trabalho clínico e da transmissão psicanalítica, pois a relação entre causas e acaso é parte indissolúvel da nossa experiência.

Ferenczi e o trauma
Authors: Borgogno Franco
Published: July 2023

O trabalho visa introduzir os principais aspectos do pensamento de Ferenczi a respeito do trauma. Ressalta a importância da contribuição desse autor e a forma descontextualizada e mal-entendida em que costuma se dar a sua leitura. Desenvolve quatro pontos fundamentais da sua teoria, a saber: que a teoria do funcionamento psíquico de Ferenczi coloca no centro o conceito de trauma, conferindo importância à ação dos processos comunicativos inconscientes, como via da incorporação de “mensagens pulsionais primitivas inconscientes”; que o trauma atinge a estruturação do ego e do sujeito, produzindo uma “ferida no amor de si e na confiança em si mesmo”, um estado consistente e duradouro de “mortificação narcísica”; que o sofrimento oriundo desses estados de subjetivação interrompida será eficazmente abordado se o analista oferecer uma “função de testemunho”, aceitando encarnar temporariamente o paciente, colocando sua pessoa e sua competência analítica à disposição; e, por fim, que a direção da cura é o reviver da lembrança traumática, na relação analítica, oferecendo o ambiente adequado, ausente quando da constituição egóica, com o fim de estancar o estado de mimetismo da eterna repetição do trauma.

Published: July 2023

Organic electronics is an emerging technology that enables the fabrication of devices with low‐cost and simple solution‐based processes at room temperature. In particular, it is an ideal candidate for the Internet of Things since devices can be easily integrated in everyday objects, potentially creating a distributed network of wireless communicating electronics. Recent efforts allowed to boost operational frequency of organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), required to achieve efficient wireless communication. However, in the majority of cases, in order to increase the dynamic performances of OFETs, masks based lithographic techniques are used to reduce device critical dimensions, such as channel and overlap lengths. This study reports the successful integration of direct written metal contacts defining a 1.4 µm short channel, printed with ultra‐precise deposition technique (UPD), in fully solution fabricated n‐type OFETs. An average transition frequency as high as 25.5 MHz is achieved at 25 V. This result demonstrates the potential of additive, high‐resolution direct‐writing techniques for the fabrication of organic electronics operating in the high‐frequency regime.

Published: July 2023

The high‐frequency optical mode of α‐Fe2O3 is examined, and it is reported that Dzyaloshinskii−Moriya (DM) interaction generates a new type of torque on the magnetic resonance. Using a continuous‐wave terahertz interferometer, the optical mode spectra is measured, where the asymmetric absorption with a large amplitude and broad linewidth is observed near the magnetic transition point, Morin temperature (TM ≈ 254.3 K). Based on the spin wave model, the spectral anomaly is attributed to the DM interaction‐induced torque, enabling to extract the strength of DM interaction field of 4 T. This work opens a new avenue to characterize the spin resonance behaviors at an antiferromagnetic singular point for next‐generation and high‐frequency spin‐based information technologies.
Recent Progress of Multiferroicity and Magnetoelectric Effects in ABX3‐Type Perovskite Metal–Organic Frameworks
Authors: Wang Jie , Xu Xing‐Liang , Li Xing'ao
Published: July 2023

Multiferroics have been investigated extensively in the last decades due to their wide range of applications in high‐density multistate storage, spintronics, and novel multifunctional magnetic–electric devices. One peculiar subgroup of multiferroic materials comprises 3D perovskite metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with the general formula ABX3 (A = monovalent organic cation (such as an alkali metal or protonated amine), B = divalent metal cation, X = organic anion), for their coexistence of multiple orders (electric, magnetic, and elastic, et al.). The purpose of this review is to give a representative overview of the recent progress in the field of ABX3‐type multiferroic MOFs, containing 3d magnetic metal ions at B‐site. First, the perovskite multiferroic MOFs in which X‐site is occupied by formate, is examined and summarized. In particular, magnetoelectric coupling effects, such as electric‐field tuning of magnetic properties and magnetic field control of electric polarization, and pressure control of structural/magnetic/electric properties, are described and discussed. Then, it is focused on the structural phase transitions and ferroic orders by analyzing several representative multiferroic MOFs compounds with none‐formate. To motivate the researchers in this area, some promising topics that have not yet been fully explored in perovskite multiferroic MOFs are finally proposed.
Direct Manufacturing Technology for High‐Precision Follow‐the‐Shape Circuits on Complex, Hard, Curved Surfaces

Published: July 2023

3D curved electronics are a trend in the microelectronics industry, but conformal printing of circuits on complex curved surfaces remains challenging, especially for electronics comprising concave surfaces with large curvature. In this study, a new manufacturing method is proposed for follow‐the‐shape circuits, using high‐precision direct printing technology to print circuits on hard, arbitrarily curved surfaces. A circuit with any complex curved surface can be directly digitized and programmed for fully autonomous and controlled printing without indirect transfer or pad printing processing. The proposed direct printing method begins with using unique 3D projection technology to map a 2D planar functional circuit onto a 3D digital curved surface. The next step is directly printing the integrated circuit on a complex surface by controlled planning of the spatial motion trajectory, high‐frequency drive control of the precision nozzle, and precise switching control of the heterogeneous functional material. Optimal printing parameters are obtained by exploring the main factors affecting molding quality and electrical conductivity of curved surface circuits. Simple examples, such as an acoustic‐optic touch time‐delay three‐control multifunction system, demonstrate the feasibility and broad potential of the proposed technology.

Flame retardants play a crucial role in improving the flame retardant properties of polymer materials. In recent years, environmental problems caused by flame retardants have attracted widespread attention. It is urgent to use green and effective methods to prepare flame retardant polymers. Bioinspired nanocomposites with layered structures seem to provide effective ideas, but in general, their hydrophilic raw materials limit their applications in certain fields. Here, we prepared biomimetic composites with a layered “brick‐and‐mortar” structure by gravity‐induced deposition using polyimide as the polymer matrix and montmorillonite (MMT) as the filler. The well‐arranged structures of the composite material could isolate oxygen and prevent combustible gases from escaping. The gas barrier performance has been greatly improved, in which the water vapor transmission rate and the oxygen transmission rate decreased by 99.18% and three orders of magnitude, respectively. The flame retardant performance has also been improved, and its limiting oxygen index can reach 67.9%. The polyimide matrix can be converted to water‐insoluble by thermal imidization of water‐soluble poly (amic acid) salt precursors, which endows the composites with low hygroscopicity. The coating containing MMT can protect against polyurethane (PU) foam from fire. During the conical calorimetric test, the coated sample self‐extinguished, and the peak heat release rate, total heat release, and total smoke production are significantly decreased by 53.39%, 40.69%, and 53.03%, respectively. Taking advantage of these properties, this work utilizes a facile method to prepare biomimetic composites with low moisture absorption, excellent gas barrier properties, and flame retardancy, which have great application potential.

Published: July 2023

Optical waveguides create interesting opportunities in the area of soft sensing and electronic skins due to their potential for high flexibility, quick response time, and compactness. The loss or change of light intensities inside a waveguide can be measured and converted into useful sensing feedback such as strain or shape sensing. Compared to other approaches such as those based on microelectromechanical system modules or flexible conductors, the entire sensor state can be characterized by fewer sensing nodes and less encumbering wiring, allowing greater scalability. Herein, simple light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors (PDs) combined with an intelligent shape decoding framework are utilized to enable 3D shape sensing of a self‐contained flexible substrate. Multiphysics finite element analysis is leveraged to optimize the PDs/LEDs layout and enrich ground‐truth data from sparse to dense points for model training. The mapping from light intensities to overall sensor shape is achieved with an autoregression‐based model that considers temporal continuity and spatial locality. The sensing framework is evaluated on an A5‐sized flexible sensor prototype and a fish‐shaped prototype, where sensing accuracy (RMSE = 0.27 mm) and repeatability (Δ light intensity <0.31% over 1000 cycles) are tested underwater.

Starch is an essential biopolymer in biofuel production and a sizing agent in the paper and textile industries. However, native starch is unsuitable for most applications due to brittleness, inferior mechanical and thermal properties, and poor processability. In this regard, a series of modified starch‐based biopolymer composites were prepared by extrusion to produce composites with enhanced properties for enlarged applications. Unlike other studies, the developed thermoplastic starch (TPS) in this work was produced by gelatinizing starch with glycerol and poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) to induce both plasticization and compatibilization. The resultant TPS was blended with diverse organoclays and polylactide (PLA) via a twin‐screw extruder to obtain TPS/PLA/organoclay composites. The ensuing composites were studied for thermal and morphology properties using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results showed that the organoclay loading highly influenced the mechanical and thermal properties of the TPS/PLA composites by enhancing the thermal stability and stiffness of the blends. More importantly, incorporating a small amount of organoclay into PLA enhanced its compatibility with TPS, as depicted in morphological studies. The enhanced crystallization and compatibilization of the blends resulted in enhanced mechanical properties of eco‐friendly composite materials for sustainable packaging applications.

Early detection of changes in the frequency of events is an important task in many fields, such as disease surveillance, monitoring of high‐quality processes, reliability monitoring, and public health. This article focuses on detecting changes in multivariate event data by monitoring the time‐between‐events (TBE). Existing multivariate TBE charts are limited because they only signal after an event occurred for each of the individual processes. This results in delays (i.e., long time‐to‐signal), especially when we are interested in detecting a change in one or a few processes with different rates. We propose a bivariate TBE chart, which can signal in real‐time. We derive analytical expressions for the control limits and average time‐to‐signal performance, conduct a performance evaluation and compare our chart to an existing method. Our findings showed that our method is an effective approach for monitoring bivariate TBE data and has better detection ability than the existing method under transient shifts and is more generally applicable. A significant benefit of our method is that it signals in real‐time and that the control limits are based on analytical expressions. The proposed method is implemented on two real‐life datasets from reliability and health surveillance.

Key Clinical Message

There is no effective treatment that reduces both the severity and duration of a common cold episode. SJP − 002 (naproxen and fexofenadine) reduced symptom severity by two‐third, and the duration of the common cold episode approximately by half.

The common cold is one of the most frequently experienced immune‐related complaints. At present, available treatments have limited efficacy in inhibiting symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infection, nor do they significantly shorten the duration of common cold episodes. Four case reports are presented of individuals with a common cold. Three of them self‐administered the combination of naproxen and fexofenadine (SJP − 002). Results of one individual were compared to her spouse, who did not take SJP − 002 to treat common cold, while two other individuals took SJP − 002 and compared symptom severity with another common cold episode they experienced previously without taking SJP − 002. SJP − 002 reduced the severity of symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infection by two‐third and reduced the duration of the common cold episode approximately by half. In conclusion, SJP − 002 reduced the severity and duration of common cold episodes. These findings warrant further investigation of SJP − 002 in double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trials.

SMARCB1 (INI1) is one of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) complexes whose loss is associated with several tumors. SMARCB1 (INI1)‐deficient intrathoracic neoplasms are extremely rare and known to be highly malignant and lethal. This report presents the case of a patient diagnosed with SMARCB1 (INI1)‐deficient intrathoracic neoplasm during chemotherapy for plasma cell myeloma. A 77‐year‐old male patient complained of cough, bloody sputum, and fever with an enlarged right lung mass and pleural effusion. His cytological examination revealed undifferentiated epithelioid and rhabdoid/plasmacytoid cells with bi‐ or multinucleation, vacuolization, mitosis, and pleomorphism. However, it was difficult to distinguish the relapse of plasma cell myeloma as atypical plasmacytoid cells were detected. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells showed a loss of SMARCB1 (INI1) expression in the cell block of pleural fluid and in the right lung of the autopsy specimen. Further, the patient was diagnosed with SMARCB1 (INI1)‐deficient intrathoracic neoplasm of the right lung based on histological and autopsy findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of cytomorphology in a SMARCB1 (INI1)‐deficient intrathoracic neoplasm.
Culture, ethnicity, and socio‐economic status as determinants of the management of patients with advanced heart failure who need palliative care: A clinical consensus statement from the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC, the ESC Patient Forum, and the European Association of Palliative Care

The delivery of effective healthcare entails the configuration and resourcing of health economies to address the burden of disease, including acute and chronic heart failure, that affects local populations. Increasing migration is leading to more multicultural and ethnically diverse societies worldwide, with migration research suggesting that minority populations are often subject to discrimination, socio‐economic disadvantage, and inequity of access to optimal clinical support. Within these contexts, the provision of person‐centred care requires medical and nursing staff to be aware of and become adept in navigating the nuances of cultural diversity, and how that can impact some individuals and families entrusted to their care. This paper will examine current evidence, provide practical guidance, and signpost professionals on developing cultural competence within the setting of patients with advanced heart failure who may benefit from palliative care.
Soil–pile interaction in vertical vibration in inhomogeneous soils

Published: July 2023

This paper develops a novel reference analytical solution for axially loaded piles in inhomogeneous soils, extending the pioneering elastodynamic model of Nogami and Novak (1976) to piles embedded in vertically inhomogeneous soils. Following the classical earlier model, the pile is modelled as a rod, using the strength‐of‐materials solution, and the soil layer as an approximate continuum, which rest on rigid rock. The approximation lies in reducing the number of dependent variables by eliminating certain stresses and displacements in the governing elastodynamic equations: the vertical normal and vertical shear stresses in the soil are controlled exclusively by the vertical component of the soil displacement. Soil inhomogeneity is introduced via a power law variation of shear modulus with depth, and perfect bonding is assumed at the soil–pile interface. The proposed generalized formulation treats two types of inhomogeneity by employing pertinent eigen expansions of the dependent variables over the vertical coordinate. The response is expressed in terms of generalized Fourier series and includes: (i) displacements and stresses along the pile and the pile–soil interface; and (ii) displacement and stress in the soil. Contrary to available models for homogeneous soils, the associated Fourier coefficients are coupled, obtained as solutions to a set of simultaneous algebraic equations of equal rank to the number of modes considered.

Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) by‐products (leaves, stems, stalks) (CBP) were successfully utilized in muffins as a model system and their feasibility of incorporation was investigated. CBP powder‐based muffin formulations were made by the progressive replacement of wheat flour (WF) with 10%, 20%, and 30% of CBP. The physicochemical, pasting properties, antioxidant potential, textural characteristics, and sensorial attributes were analyzed. Substitution of CBP significantly (p < .05) resulted in an upsurge in crude protein, crude fiber, minerals, total phenolics, and total flavonoid contents, as well as total antioxidant activity values of muffins. The pasting properties were influenced by monitoring an increase in peak, breakdown, final, and setback viscosities. Although the addition of an increasing amount of CBP improved the nutritional characteristics, however, the increased level of replacement (>10%) had significant adverse effects on baking and physical characteristics. The specific loaf volume of the developed muffins decreased the crumb color which became darker, and enriched muffins were hardened in texture. Furthermore, sensory evaluation confirmed the positive effects of CBP incorporation only up to 10%. Overall, present results highlighted that supplementation of wheat muffins with 10% CBP is a beneficial approach to enrich them with nutrients and intensify their antioxidant potential.
Operative technique: Tracheal resection and anastomosis in a revision surgery
Authors: Saetti Roberto , Ronzani Guglielmo , Meneghesso Stefano , Silvestrini Marina
Published: July 2023

Tracheal stenosis is an uncommon pathological condition in which the lumen of the trachea is reduced. Within its management an adequate preoperative workup is crucial to determine the most appropriate procedure for each patient. In this scenario tracheal resection and anastomosis is a viable approach, as a procedure in which part of the trachea is removed and then restored with a tension‐free anastomosis. It is usually indicated for extensive and high‐grade lesions or when previous endoscopic procedures had failed. The patient here presented had already undergone a balloon dilatation twice and a tracheal resection and referred to our clinic with a residual tracheal stenosis graded Myer‐Cotton 3 involving three tracheal rings. We here illustrate step‐by‐step the surgical procedure and highlight a peculiar way to perform the anastomosis, especially in a revision surgery.
