Afropunk en Instagram de la mano de José Esteban Muñoz: de la “desidentificación” al “sentimiento y la sensación de lo común marrón”
Authors: Gallo González Danae
Published: June 2023

Este artículo versa sobre el uso político que la comunidad imaginada afrodiaspórica digital y transnacional Afropunk le da a la estética en Instagram a partir de las teorías de José Esteban Muñoz y desde una comprensión de los medios de comunicación como práctica (Couldry). Afropunk es un término fluido que abarca a todas las personas dentro de un gran espectro de la experiencia negra que se sienten interpeladas por la frase con la que se define la comunidad, como “la otra experiencia negra”, y que, por tanto, se consideran no normativas por cualquier eje de discriminación respecto de la heteronormatividad blanca y negra. Instagram es una red social popular que se caracteriza por centrarse en la difusión de imágenes altamente estéticas. Se presenta así una meta-reflexión conceptual sobre el uso que Afropunk hace de Instagram fundamentada en una selección de entradas de 2020 y 2021. Se argumenta que, para esta comunidad distintiva dentro de la afrodiáspora, la estética funciona como una manera de articular las políticas de “desidentificación” (Muñoz, Disidentifications) y del sentir el “común marrón” (Muñoz, Cruising Utopia), que abre vías alternativas con las que hacer frente a la sociedad mayorizada y con las que se puede formar una comunidad sin recurrir a paradigmas teóricos basados en la identidad.
Las Nardal: textos, co-textos, contextos
Authors: Bertin-Elisabeth Cécile
Published: June 2023

Es habitual recordar el movimiento del mundo negro entre el Renacimiento de Harlem y la Négritude. Y allí ¿no fue acaso la acción de las hermanas Nardal pionera y también central desde el punto de vista conceptual? Y sin embargo, como muestra la evolución de la mirada de otra autora, Maryse Condé, el reconocimiento de la acción primordial de las hermanas Nardal ha tardado. Joseph Zobel fue uno de los pocos autores en tomar posición durante el periodo de olvido de estas intelectuales de excepción. En suma, ¿cuál es el lugar que se les atribuye y cuál es el lugar que ellas mismas reivindican? Lo que está en juego en el compromiso de las hermanas Nardal se halla escrito en textos clave que es preciso situar en su contexto.
Antigua y el “simple turista”: la estereotipación del paraíso en Un Pequeño Lugar de Jamaica Kincaid
Authors: Castro Daniela Belén
Published: June 2023

El Caribe se ha posicionado sin dudas en el último tiempo como un lugar privilegiado de vacaciones y esparcimiento. Y no es para menos. Con solo echar un vistazo a las imágenes que circulan en folletos, programas de televisión y redes sociales no resulta difícil comprender la razón del crecimiento exponencial de esta área geográfica. El auge del sector turístico comienza a ganar relevancia luego de que la industria azucarera dejara de ser uno de los grandes emblemas del Caribe, además de su mayor fuente de ingreso económico. Así, la región se transformó rápidamente en un codiciado destino de descanso y relajación.

El turismo es en la actualidad una industria que definitivamente explota al máximo las bellezas naturales de las múltiples islas y territorios caribeños, que, junto con “la inversión de empresas extranjeras del sector y la necesidad del flujo de visitantes, entre los que predominan los estadounidenses, europeos y canadienses, hace que se considere a esta actividad un nuevo tipo de ‘economía de plantación’” (Monzote 22). Playas de arena blanca y suave, aguas cristalinas, palmeras inclinadas que instantáneamente logran transportar a los turistas a un verdadero paraíso terrenal, donde todo aparenta brindar una envidiable sensación de felicidad y algarabía constantes, con una población local siempre animada y dispuesta a recibir con una sonrisa a los visitantes.

Published: June 2023

Introducción: los inhibidores del Factor de Necrosis Tumoral o anti-TNF son medicamentos biológicos utilizados en el tratamiento de procesos inflamatorios crónicos. El adalimumab es un representante de este grupo de fármacos usados en psoriasis en placas, artritis psoriásica reumatoide, etc. Sus antecedentes en reportes del programa farmacovigilancia sobre las reacciones adversas direccionaron el desarrollo de este bioensayo en el nemátodo Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). Objetivo: evaluar la toxicidad de Adalimumab en el modelo biológico C. elegans. Métodos: se realizó un bioensayo en el nemátodo C. Elegans empleando la cepa silvestre N2 y las cepas transgénicas SDO-4, HSP-3, GPX-4 que fueron expuestas a diferentes concentraciones de adalimumab para evaluar su toxicidad. Resultados: las diferentes concentraciones de Adalimumab no alteraron su ciclo de vida del C. elegans, pero si produjeron neurotoxicidad demostrada por sobreexcitación de la locomoción, así como disrupción endocrina además de daño tisular. Conclusión: es necesario contar con más estudios sobre toxicidad para los medicamentos biológicos y contar con programas de Farmacovigilancia, para la notificación de sospecha de toxicidad por estos fármacos.
How Yuzhnoye develops models for flight safety index evaluation for the case of a rocket failure during the flight
Authors: Hladkyi Ye.H. , Perlyk V.I.
Published: June 2023

Safety of the up-to-date rocket and space complexes remains a topical problem for the developers of rocket and space technology. The integral component of this problem along with the safety of operations during launch vehicle ground pre-launch processing is organization of flight safety. The basic task of this rocket and space complexes safety component is to prevent or minimize serious consequences in case of launch vehicle failure in the flight leg, after all such accidents can cause damage to the population and facilities (including personnel and facilities of the ground complex), located along the flight paths. It is shown that the flight safety assurance of the launch vehicle is based on the experience of combat missile systems. Flight safety during the launch vehicle launches is provided by laying flight paths through sparsely populated (unpopulated) territories and using special onboard flight safety systems. This system limits the size of impact zones of emergency launch vehicle and its debris by emergency engine shutdown. Recently flight safety process is organized based on the acceptable risk concept. It is based on a risk assessment for the ground-based facilities and people, and it should not exceed the established standards. Such approach requires development and upgrading of the mathematical models of risk assessment in case of launch vehicle failure in the flight phase. Formation of the risk-oriented approach to flight safety in Yuzhnoye SDO is shown. Key moment in this process is to develop the separate structural unit, which started working on rocket and space complexes flight safety assurance and analysis. The basic model for assessing the risks of damage to facilities and people is analyzed, using the maximum impact zone of an emergency launch vehicle, which is realized in case of loss of control and flight safety system activation. The main directions of the basic model improvement are shown, which led to the development of a number of new original models of flight safety assessment in the Yuzhnoye SDO. First of all, the developed models take into account the flight safety system specifics, which are used to equip the launch vehicles, developed by Yuzhnoye SDO: criteria of activation, blocking of the engine emergency shutdown in the initial flight phase and Fe functional. Such models allow to take into account the different nature of emergency situations in the launch vehicle flight phase and ways of their representation, representation of the damage areas of facilities in the form of convex polygons, possible fragmentation of the emergency launch vehicle at the free- fall leg etc. The developed models have found wide application in the practice of assessing flight safety indicators in the Yuzhnoye SDO projects. Key words: launch vehicle; acceptable risk; launch vehicle failure in the flight phase; flight safety system; emergency launch vehicle impact zone; risk of damage to facilities; collection risk.

INNOVATION LINKAGES AS A COMPONENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENSURING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF INNOVATIVE ECOSYSTEMS
Authors: Bocharova Yu. H. , Ishchenko O. V. , Lyzhnyk Yu. B.
Published: June 2023

Objective. The objective of the present article is to analyze the state and features of the development of innovative ecosystems in the world in 2011-2021 based on the indicator of innovative linkages.

Methods. The following methods and techniques of cognition were used in the research process: theoretical generalization and comparison, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, grouping, analysis of variational series.

Results. According to the results of the conducted research, it is substantiated that the concept of "innovation ecosystem" should be understood as a national innovation system of a new generation, characterized by openness, dynamism, self-regulation, interaction of its components; the concept of "innovation ecosystem" is most often understood from the standpoint of two approaches: static (as a network of certain institutions, a system) and dynamic (as a process, affiliated communication); the most important parameter of innovative ecosystems, which determines their effectiveness and distinguishes them from other phenomena of innovative development, is interactivity. It is substantiated that international comparative studies on the development of innovative ecosystems can be carried out on the basis of the indicator "Innovation linkages", which is systematically calculated and published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) within the Global Innovation Index Report. It was established that in 2011-2021the world as a whole did not advance in the direction of the development of innovative ecosystems, but on the contrary worsened its indicators (by 9.8 points), if ecosystems are evaluated on the basis of innovative linkages, which was associated with global crises (2014 and 2019) and their destructive impact on national economies. It was established that during 2011-2021, an increase in the asymmetry of the development of ecosystems in the world was recorded; among the macro-regions of the world, North America was characterized by the most developed network of innovation linkages and, as a result, the innovation ecosystem; during the analyzed period, there were not only asymmetries, but also significant disproportions in the development of innovative ecosystems - innovative linkages through clusters and cooperation of higher education institutions with enterprises were comparatively more successful, linkages associated with financing R&D from abroad and the functioning and development of strategic alliances.

Apreciación de León Félix Batista "Carrión dice cosas sobre la realidad concreta porque la sabe indefinible y, en consecuencia, infinitamente elástica. Así que tira de ella, tira una piedra, tira una bala que va consiendo historias, tira y abre una puerta y otra. La borradura gráfica de la autobiografía, del sujeto como una incrustación en el constructo "mundo", articula su ficción en un libro de verdad, con íconos de la cultura y guerras, con represión social asalto. Por eso aquí lo críptico es lo macro, cinemascope lexical, inmensidad concisa en su testigo: Ernesto, que es el centro nervioso del poema, guadaña en mano decapita esas momias momentáneas de la utopía redentora, y procede a la deconstrucción del Gran Relato hablando desde adentro. Ese gesto de irrigar en territorio seco, esa colocación de cuñas entre las rajas de la grandilocuencia estético-histórica, convierten a Carrión en un poeta capital, porque nuclea en su voz la crítica del ahora por la puesta en crisis del lenguaje, que no es más que la del ser humano subvertido y en perpetuo pugilato con su entorno". 143 páginas ISBN: 978-9942-618-93-1 e-ISBN: 978-9942-618-94-8

Menghasilkan lulusan yang berkualitas merupakan salah satu tujuan dari penyelenggaraan kegiatan pendidikan. Setiap tahunnya selalu terdapat siswa yang menjadi lulusan terbaik. Terkadang  menentukan siswa sebagai lulusan terbaik diantara sekian banyak lulusan bukanlah pekerjaan yang mudah. Tanpa adanya kriteria yang jelas dan perhitungan yang akurat, maka proses pembuatan keputusan dapat menimbulkan kecemburuan dan persoalan. Masalah yang sering terjadi dalam proses menentukan lulusan terbaik adalah belum adanya system pendukung keputusan yang berjalan dan belum adanya system pembobotan dalam setiap kriteria. Kriteria dalam menentukan lulusan bergantung pada nilai akademik saja, sedangkan siswa diharapkan memiliki kepribadian yang baik dan dapat mengembangkan minat dan bakatnya pada kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun sebuah Sistem Pendukung Keputusan (SPK), yang berfungsi sebagai alat bantu bagi sekolah SMKN 1 Kemangkon dalam pengambilan keputusan pada proses penentuan lulusan terbaik. Agar tujuan  dapat tercapai dengan baik maka diterapkanlah salah satu metode dalam pengambilan keputusan yaitu dengan metode Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). Konsep dasar metode SAW adalah mencari penjumlahan terbobot dari rating kinerja pada setiap alternatif dari semua atribut. Metode SAW membutuhkan proses normalisasi matrik keputusan (X) ke suatu skala yang dapat diperbandingkan dengan semua rating alternatif yang ada.

SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF COMBINATION BETWEEN CYANOMACLURIN AND ARTOCARPIN FROM ARTOCARPUS HETEROPHYLLUS HEARTWOODS AGAINSTS STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES AND STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS
Authors: Septama Abdi Wira , Rahmi, M.Sc Eldiza Puji
Published: June 2023

Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus epidermidis are major problem of human health and may generate antibacterial resistance problem. Flavonoid has been used for the treatment of several ailments including bacterial infection. Artocarpus heterophyllus is a potential source of flavonoid compounds such as artocarpin and cyanomaclurin. The study was conducted to observe synergistic effects between flavonoid compounds against S. pyogenes and S. epidermidis. The antibacterial activity of combination of artocarpin and cyanomaclurin isolated from A. heterophyllus heartwoods were evaluated against S. pyogenes and S. epidermidis using broth microdilution methods. Interaction between two compounds in combination was determined using checkerboard assay. Artocarpin showed strong antibacterial activity with MIC value of 1.9 µg/mL. Cyanomaclurin only exhibited moderate activity with MIC value of 15.6 µg/mL. The mixture of compounds in several ratios tended to increase antibacterial activities of cyanomaclurin. There is no antagonistic effect when compounds used together. It can be concluded that flavonoid compounds in combination may enhance antibacterial activity to prevent development of antibacterial resistance.
Changes in DNA methylation in response to heat stress and symbiotic conditions in coral primary polyps
Authors: Ishida-Castañeda J , Iguchi A , Sakai K
Published: June 2023

The symbiotic relationship between scleractinian corals and dinoflagellates is a cornerstone of coral reef ecosystems. Various mechanisms underlying the adaptability of corals to environmental changes have been studied, but the effects of epigenetic mechanisms (i.e. DNA methylation, DNAm) on heat stress and the symbiotic conditions of corals remain unclear. Moreover, the DNAm patterns relevant to the primary polyp life stage of corals are not known. Hence, we conducted an aquarium factorial experiment to evaluate the effects of symbiotic conditions and temperatures on global DNAm rates in primary Acropora digitifera polyps. The tested conditions included symbiotic (infected with Symbiodinium ITS2 type A3) and aposymbiotic (without Symbiodinium) groups, at either heated (32°C) or ambient (27°C) temperatures. The results indicated that the presence of Symbiodinium within primary A. digitifera polyps significantly decreased basal DNAm rates of the coral holobiont. In addition, the presence of Symbiodinium in the early primary polyp stage increased DNAm in the coral holobiont when exposed to heat stress. These results suggest that the symbiotic relationship between host corals and Symbiodinium is one of the major factors related to global DNAm rate changes in primary A. digitifera polyps.
Chasing the Sun: A Journey in monitoring solar panels
Authors:   , Tsafarakis Odysseas
Published: June 2023

Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is a decentralized renewable energy source that can be installed in diverse locations, from open fields to residential rooftops, for electricity generation. Rooftop-mounted residential PV systems are widely used, contributing to the European Union's plan for zero-energy buildings and empowering households to become small-scale energy producers.

PV systems offer low maintenance requirements compared to other energy sources. However, malfunctions can occur, leading to significant energy losses. Consequently, monitoring PV systems is crucial to ensure proper functioning and grid stability.

In the Netherlands, most PV systems are small-scale installations on residential and commercial rooftops, with exponential growth anticipated since 2010. Monitoring these systems presents challenges, including the lack of tilted solar irradiance measurements, shading from surrounding objects, and the time-intensive nature of supervised monitoring.

To address these challenges, researchers have developed algorithms. One study conducted a public campaign in the Netherlands, where participants measured PV system energy generation during specific weeks. Analyzing weekly yield and performance ratios revealed overall satisfactory performance. However, deeper analysis uncovered issues such as undersized inverters and shading impacts. Citizen science approaches proved valuable, emphasizing the need for unsupervised monitoring of rooftop-mounted PV systems.

Another research paper introduced the "Real PR" monitoring algorithm, which detects and isolates malfunctioning PV systems. By comparing energy production to reference data, the algorithm identifies deviations from linearity, indicating anomalies or malfunctions. This enables the detection of underperforming systems.

Additionally, a data analysis method addresses challenges in partially shaded PV systems. By comparing long-term and high-resolution yield data between shaded and unshaded PV systems, the algorithm automatically detects energy losses caused by expected shading from surrounding obstacles. This helps distinguish shading-related losses from other malfunctions.

Furthermore, a novel algorithmic tool tackles two major issues in residential PV systems: the absence of reference data sources and noisy data sets. The tool combines data from nearby unshaded PV systems to create a reference data set, enabling the comparison and detection of energy losses in the target PV system caused by shading from surrounding objects.

To summarize, this dissertation investigates various aspects of PV system performance on residential rooftops, including owner awareness, PV technology comparisons, unsupervised malfunction detection, unsupervised shadow detection, reference set selection, and noise reduction in monitoring data. These findings enhance our understanding and monitoring of PV system performance, supporting the effective implementation of solar photovoltaic energy as a decentralized renewable energy source.

Published: June 2023

AbstrakPeran ayah di dalam sebuah keluarga merupakan sosok yang paling mendominasi karena memiliki tanggung jawab besar sebagai pemimpin keluarga. Hal tersebut merupakan kondisi sosial yang disebut budaya patriarki dimana kepemimpinan serta otoritas tertinggi dipegang dan didominasi oleh kaum laki-laki. Film Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap ini dibangun berdasarkan tropes orang Batak di dalam film yang sering menjadikan peran ayah sebagai penggerak cerita sekaligus sumber konflik di dalam keluarga. Berdasarkan fenomena tersebut, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana representasi peran ayah dalam film Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan paradigma kritis. Penulis memilih enam belas scene untuk diteliti dengan teknik analisis semiotika John Fiske yang terbagi menjadi tiga level yaitu, level realitas, level representasi, dan level ideologi. Hasil dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa sosok ayah di representasikan sesuai dengan ciri budaya patriarki privat dan memiliki peran sebagai seorang protector (sebagai seorang pelindung dan pengontrol), decision maker (sebagai seorang pembuat keputusan), monitor and disciplinary (sebagai seorang pengawas dan memberikan pembelajaran), provider (sebagai seorang penyedia fasilitas), dan responsibility (sebagai seorang yang memenuhi kebutuhan) kepada keluarganya. Kata Kunci: film, patriarki, peran Ayah, representasi, semiotika John Fiske  AbstractIn a family, the most dominating role figure is the father because he has a great responsibility as the family leader. This social condition is called patriarchal culture where the highest leadership and authority is held and dominated by men. This Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap film is based on the tropes of the Batak people which often make the father's role as the driving force of the story as well as the source of the conflict within the family. Based on this phenomenon this conducted research is to find out how the representation of the father's role in the Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap film uses qualitative methods with a critical paradigm. The researcher chooses sixteen scenes to be examined by John Fiske's semiotic analysis divided into three levels; the reality, representation, and ideology levels. The study found that the father figure is represented according to the characteristics of private patriarchal culture and has a role as a protector (to protect and control), the decision maker, to monitor, and disciplinary (as a supervisor and provides learning), provider, and as someone who fulfills needs of the family. Keywords: film, patriarchal, representation,  semiotics John Fiske, the role of fathers

AbstrakMasuknya budaya asing ke Indonesia yang semakin masif di era global dan digital saat ini tidak bisa lagi ditolak maupun dihindari. Keberadaan budaya luar ini dapat mengkuatirkan bila dipahami serta dihayati berlebihan oleh warga bangsa khususnya generasi muda. Persoalan untuk mencintai dan melestarikan budaya lokal semakin rentan terhadap terkikis jati diri generasi penerus bangsa ini. Tujuan studi ini untuk mengungkap mural dengan konsep “Japanese culture” di ruang publik sudut di Yogyakarta dengan cara mendeskripsikan serta mengalisis fenomena visual tersebut. Metode visual (Visual Methodologis) dari Gillian Rose (2001) jenis kualitatif deskriptif-kritis digunakan untuk memaparkan secara komprehensif dengan dibantu berbagai literatur. Studi ini menghasilkan temuan bahwa konsep mural untuk branding kampung kurang mendapatkan pemahaman secara menyeluruh, sehingga dapat menurunkan kesadaran atas nilai-nilai lokalitas yang sepantasnya dijunjung tinggi warganya. Kata kunci: branding, budaya Jepang, degradasi, kesadaran, kearifan lokal, mural, nilai  AbstractThe entry of foreign culture into Indonesia, which is increasingly massive in the current global and digital era, can no longer be denied and avoided. The existence of this foreign culture will be worrying if it is understood and internalized excessively by the nation's citizens, especially the younger generation. Efforts to love and preserve local culture must continue to be increased for the younger generation, who are increasingly vulnerable. However, the problem arises because of the increasingly eroded identity of the nation's next generation in loving and preserving local culture. This study aims to reveal a mural with the concept of "Japanese culture" in a corner public space in Yogyakarta by describing and analyzing this visual phenomenon. The visual method (Visual Methodology) from Gillian Rose (2001) qualitative-descriptive-critical is used to explain comprehensively supported by various literature. This study found that the murals for village branding need to be thoroughly understood to reduce awareness of local values that the community members should uphold. Keywords: awareness, branding, degradation, Japanese culture, local wisdom, murals, values

Keaton’s slapstick comedy serves as a nice cinematic parallel to Bishop’s understanding of ‘real wit’ as ‘usually stoical, unsentimental, and physically courageous’. Taking the oft-cited 1964 letter and Bishop’s ‘Keaton’ (late 1950s) as points of departure, I carry out an intermedial analysis of the Keatonesque elements in Bishop’s comic surrealist poems that blur the demarcation between a brutal reality and a dream world of endless possibilities. These poems bring about a sudden flash of self-awareness of our own contingency, ultimately to reorient us towards what I call queer love. The formal, thematic associations that I draw between the two artists illuminate not only the poet’s surprisingly quirky, experimental sides, but her subtle deftness in addressing political issues around gender, sexuality, class, and race.
The Philological Experience in Finnegans Wake
Authors: Green James
Published: June 2023

This essay discusses two well-established medievalist sources for Finnegans Wake, French philologist Joseph Bédier’s Roman de Tristan et Iseut and Sir Edward Sullivan’s manuscript study The Book of Kells. Asking how Joyce interprets this material, the article establishes a relationship whereby the text strategically corrupts his sources to engender the experience of encountering a text as a philologist. By discussing the ideological commitments of these scholars, in particular Joseph Bédier, the essay posits that this philological experience has a democratizing effect: it inverts the nationalistic logic underpinning the discipline, evinced even in Bédier’s ‘best-text method’. Finnegans Wake’s own ‘worst-text method’, contrastingly, displays a commitment to re-envisioning and modifying readerly experience by renewing medieval textuality for a contemporary readership.

El objetivo de la investigación es evaluar el desempeño financiero del hotel colombiano entre 2016 y 2021 por medio del análisis estático y de tendencias de indicadores contables y de gestión de valor. Se encuentra que el promedio de la rentabilidad del patrimonio es negativo, pero mejor que el de su análoga de mayores ventas, debido a su menor apalancamiento financiero negativo. Esto permitió compensar su menor eficacia en el control de erogaciones y su menor eficiencia en el uso de activos. Sin embargo, el hotel en países emergentes las supera en eficacia y eficiencia, y con un menor apalancamiento financiero. El hotel colombiano y de países emergentes destruyen valor económico agregado en el sexenio, aunque en términos relativos es menor en el último.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem, with nearly 10 million new cases and millions of deaths each year. Around 10% of these cases are in children, but only a fraction receive proper diagnosis and treatment. The spread of drug-resistant (DR) strain of TB has made it difficult to control, with only 60% of patients responding to treatment. Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is often undiagnosed in children due to lack of awareness or under-diagnosis, and the target for children’s DR-TB treatment has only been met in 15% of goals. New medications such as bedaquiline and delamanid have been approved for treating DR-TB. However, due to age and weight differences, adults and children require different dosages. The availability of child-friendly formulations is limited by a lack of clinical data in children. This paper reviews the development history of these drugs, their mechanism of action, efficacy, safety potential problems and current use in treating DR-TB in children.
Reducing social diabetes distress with a conversational agent support system: a three-week technology feasibility evaluation
Authors: Bruijnes Merijn , Kesteloo Mitchell , Brinkman Willem-Paul
Published: June 2023

Background

People with diabetes mellitus not only have to deal with physical health problems, but also with the psycho-social challenges their chronic disease brings. Currently, technological tools that support the psycho-social context of a patient have received little attention.

Objective

The objective of this work is to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an automated conversational agent to deliver, to people with diabetes, personalised psycho-education on dealing with (psycho-)social distress related to their chronic illness.

Methods

In a double-blinded between-subject study, 156 crowd-workers with diabetes received a social help program intervention in three sessions over three weeks. They were randomly assigned to receive support from either an interactive conversational support agent (n=79) or a self-help text from the book “Diabetes burnout” as a control condition (n=77). Participants completed the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) before and after the intervention, and after the intervention, the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), Feeling of Being Heard (FBH), and System Usability Scale (SUS).

Results

Results indicate that people using the conversational agent have a larger reduction in diabetes distress (M=−0.305, SD=0.865) than the control group (M=0.002, SD=0.743) and this difference is statistically significant (t(154)=2.377, p=0.019). A hypothesised mediation effect of “attitude to the social help program” was not observed.

Conclusions

An automated conversational agent can deliver personalised psycho-education on dealing with (psycho-)social distress to people with diabetes and reduce diabetes distress more than a self-help book.

Cortisol dysregulation in anxiety infertile women and the influence on IVF treatment outcome

Published: June 2023

Introduction

Dysregulation of the stress-regulatory hormone cortisol is associated with anxiety, but its potential impact on infertile women and in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment remains unclear. This prospective cross-sectional study aimed at evaluating the dysregulation of cortisol and its correlation to anxiety in infertile women. The influence of stress on IVF outcomes was also investigated.

Methods

A point-of-care test was used for the measurement of morning serum cortisol in 110 infertile women and 112 age-matching healthy individuals. A Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was used for the anxiety assessment of infertile women, and 109 of them underwent IVF treatment starting with the GnRH-antagonist protocol. If clinical pregnancy was not achieved, more IVF cycles were conducted with adjusted protocols until the patients got pregnant or gave up.

Results

Higher morning serum cortisol level was identified for infertile patients, especially for the elder. Women with no anxiety showed significant differences in cortisol levels, monthly income, and BMI compared with those with severe anxiety. A strong correlation was found between the morning cortisol level and the SAS score. When the cutoff value is 22.25 μg/dL, cortisol concentration could predict the onset of anxiety with high accuracy (95.45%) among infertile women. After IVF treatments, women with high SAS scores (>50) or cortisol levels (>22.25 μg/dL) demonstrated a lower rate of pregnancy (8.0%-10.3%) and more IVF cycles, although the impact of anxiety was not affirmative.

Conclusion

Hypersecretion of cortisol related to anxiety was prevalent among infertile women, but the influence of anxiety on multi-cycle IVF treatment was not affirmative due to the complicated treatment procedures. This study suggested that the assessment of psychological disorders and stress hormone dysregulation should not be overlooked. An anxiety questionnaire and rapid cortisol test might be included in the treatment protocol to provide better medical care.
Towards long double-stranded chains and robust DNA-based data storage using the random code system

DNA has become a popular choice for next-generation storage media due to its high storage density and stability. As the storage medium of life’s information, DNA has significant storage capacity and low-cost, low-power replication and transcription capabilities. However, utilizing long double-stranded DNA for storage can introduce unstable factors that make it difficult to meet the constraints of biological systems. To address this challenge, we have designed a highly robust coding scheme called the “random code system,” inspired by the idea of fountain codes. The random code system includes the establishment of a random matrix, Gaussian preprocessing, and random equilibrium. Compared to Luby transform codes (LT codes), random code (RC) has better robustness and recovery ability of lost information. In biological experiments, we successfully stored 29,390 bits of data in 25,700 bp chains, achieving a storage density of 1.78 bits per nucleotide. These results demonstrate the potential for using long double-stranded DNA and the random code system for robust DNA-based data storage.
