Asking to Listen: Engaging Social Scientific Methods as a Listening Practice in Global Catholicism
Authors: Bruce Tricia C.
Published: October 2024

Asking enables listening. This paper explores how the practice of asking, when enacted as an intentional social scientific process, can facilitate the synodal value of listening across the global Catholic Church. Drawing upon social science methodologies and evidence, it demonstrates that effective listening is not merely passive reception but proactive invitation to engage diverse or silenced perspectives. Systematic asking incorporates everyday people and experiences otherwise overlooked and creates space for difficult topics. Seeing listening as a practice of asking underscores the value of setting rules for engagement that promote a posture of reception that fosters trust and openness through humility, curiosity, and willingness to step into worlds different from one’s own. Embracing this mutual approach can prompt a more inclusive synodal process, enhancing the church’s ability to engage meaningfully with all in its midst.
AI-Powered Strategies for Addressing Fiber Nonlinearity in High-Capacity Elastic Optical Networks
Authors: Solanki Hitesh
Published: October 2024

To fulfill the rising need for high-capacity and flexible communication systems, Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) have emerged as a possible alternative. However, the growing transmission rates and intricate modulation formats in EONs present substantial difficulties, such as fiber nonlinearity, which may deteriorate signal quality and restrict the network's performance. The fundamental components of EONs are fiber Nonlinear Interference (NLI) modeling and monitoring. Traditionally, they were created and studied independently. Furthermore, for heterogeneous dynamic optical networks, the previously suggested approaches' accuracy must still be increased. In this study, we demonstrate how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used in NLI monitoring and modeling. We specifically propose to measure the drawbacks of the most current fiber nonlinearity estimates using AI approaches. The Gaussian Noise (GN) framework is used as an instance and Binary Differential-Support Vector Machine (BD-SVM) is used to demonstrate an important enhancement. In addition, we suggest combining modeling and monitoring strategies with AI for a more accurate prediction of NLI variation. Extensive simulations with 2411 connections are done to compare and assess the efficacy of various systems. The results of these simulations demonstrate that the AI-aided modeling and monitoring combo works better than other possible solutions.

Current lifestyle and excessive use of synthetic fertilizers in agriculture field promote an unhealthy lifestyle that urges the researchers looking for a healthy and beneficial diet. Numerous crop plants have nutritional, functional, nutraceutical, and therapeutic properties. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum gracium) is a popular crop known for these qualities and is beneficial in the human diet. It is an annual plant from the Leguminosae family that is commonly grown in the Mediterranean and Asian countries. It is mostly grown for its spices, though it can also be used for food (feed) and medicinal (antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic properties). Fenugreek is famous for its versatile uses, grown under moderate conditions (drought and salinity), white flowering herb, and self-pollinated plant. Fenugreek composition consists of various nutrients like vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids, fibre, amino acids, and bioactive compounds that are used for medicinal purposes. Due to higher fibre content fenugreek is called a food stabilizer and emulsifying agent for changing food texture. Fenugreek has numerous health benefits, including the ability to lower blood sugar, heart problems, menstrual cramps, anti-cancer, reduce inflammation, and support healthy skin and hair. This review highlights the nutritional value of fenugreek with various health and medicinal benefits. Despite its multiple advantages, this review paper also discussed health problems associated with the usage of fenugreek, such as allergies and possible adverse effects linked with fenugreek use.

Published: October 2024

Ensuring adequate food supplies has become a critical issue with a rapidly growing global population and increasing demand for protein-rich foods. In Baghlan province, Afghanistan, many poultry farms have been forced to cease operations due to insufficient infrastructure and resources, leaving a significant gap in meeting the region's growing demand for poultry products. This study aims to identify the key factors affecting the sustainability and development of broiler farms in Baghlan province as perceived by farm owners. The primary research tool was a researcher-developed questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The study population comprised all broiler farm owners in Baghlan Province, from which a sample of 91 was selected using the Morgan table and complete enumeration sampling method. The findings revealed that approximately 54% of respondents expressed moderate satisfaction with their farms. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was conducted to assess the relative importance and performance of various factors affecting the development and sustainability of the farms. The results indicated that having a qualified expert, the farmer's educational level, the poultry house ventilation system, and being a local resident were considered highly important factors for farm success but were underperforming. Based on limited existing research in the region, these findings provide valuable insights for enhancing poultry farm development and food security in Baghlan province and throughout Afghanistan. The study offers specific recommendations for addressing the identified challenges and improving the sustainability of poultry farming in the region.

A vizsgálat célja: Célunk volt felmérni a változókorban élő nők életminőségét, tüneteik súlyosságának fokát, a depresszió és stressz mértékét. Anyag és módszerek: A keresztmetszeti vizsgálatot 2023. június és december között végeztük. A mintavétel célcsoportja a 45–65 éves változókorban lévő nők (n=243) voltak. Saját szerkesztésű és validált kérdőíveket alkalmaztunk (MRS, SF-36, PSS, BDI). Leíró statisztikát, t-próbát, korrelációt, és χ2-próbát számoltunk Excel szoftverrel (p<0,05). Eredmények: Az SF-36 dimenziói negatív irányú korrelációs kapcsolatot mutatnak az MRS, BDI és PSS pontszámaival (p<0,05). Az alvásproblémákkal küzdő nők MRS- és BDI-pontszáma szignifikánsan magasabb volt (p<0,05). Közepes, jelentős korrelációs kapcsolatot figyeltünk meg a BDI és az MRS között (r=0,534, p<0,05). Az optimista nők PSS- és MRS-pontszámai szignifikánsan alacsonyabbak voltak, mint a pesszimista nők pontszámai (p<0,05). Következtetés: Elmondható, hogy a változókorban élő nőknél gyakori a súlyos depresszió, a magasabb fokú stressz és az ezzel járó alacsonyabb életminőség.

Published: October 2024

In this study, seasonal characteristics of aerosol optical properties at Ulaanbaatar station of the international network of SKYNET are investigated using ground-based skyradiometer from the years extending from 2017 to 2023. The aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at 500nm wavelength and Angstrom exponent (AE) were determined in winter to evaluate the decrease in air pollution in Ulaanbaatar since implementing the government's decision to use coal briquettes for household heating. During the study period, the monthly mean AOT at 500nm varied throughout the year, with the maximum value of 0.178±0.004 obtained in winter due to households burning large amounts of biomass, and the highest AOT (0.183) was obtained in February. The mean AOT was 0.21 in the winter of 2017-2019, which decreased by 15 per cent to 0.18 in the winter of 2019-2023.

Published: October 2024

Do you remember when you started medical school and received your first white coat? That symbol made us feel like real doctors, and all the energy and effort that was spent to reach that ceremony was worth it. How about the first time you were in the labor and delivery room and participated in the birth of a baby? Or how about the first time you conducted a history, performed a physical exam, wrote findings for the proctor, and functioned like a real doctor? Or how about when you were making rounds with the chief resident, and they told you where to put your stethoscope so you might hear the opening snap of mitral stenosis ... and you really did hear it? These were those special moments that made you feel exhilarated and provided you with a sense of awe. This article defines awe and its benefits to healthcare providers.
How to Create Equity in the Healthcare Organization and Handle DEI Backlash
Authors: Hills Laura
Published: October 2024

The topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion has become divisive as DEI initiatives have come under attack in boardrooms, college campuses, and state legislatures across the country. Some organizations have slashed resources dedicated to DEI efforts, and some corporate leaders, including Elon Musk, have made public posts on social media that decry diversity programs. But does this mean that we must throw the DEI baby out with the bathwater? This article argues that workplace inequity is still, unfortunately, very much alive and well in the American workplace. It defines and contrasts equity and equality; explores workplace equity as a past, present, and future challenge; and considers the pros and cons of workplace equity. This article then offers healthcare leaders 12 practical strategies for creating equitable healthcare organizations and suggests how they can write their own equity statements, providing ten inspiring examples used by diverse companies today. Finally, this article explores how leaders can prevent and handle any DEI backlash they encounter.

Esta revisão sistemática explora o uso da Inteligência Artificial (IA) na previsão de prognósticos oncológicos, com foco em personalização de tratamentos. Foram revisados 78 estudos que aplicaram algoritmos de IA, como Redes Neurais Convolucionais (CNNs) e Máquinas de Vetores de Suporte (SVMs), em cânceres de mama, pulmão, colorretal e próstata. Os principais desfechos incluíram recidiva, sobrevida e resposta ao tratamento. Os resultados indicam que a IA melhora a precisão na detecção de recidiva e na previsão de resposta ao tratamento, personalizando intervenções terapêuticas. No entanto, desafios como a heterogeneidade dos dados e a falta de padronização limitam a adoção clínica em larga escala. A revisão também destaca as oportunidades futuras para integrar IA na medicina de precisão, promovendo a criação de tratamentos oncológicos mais eficazes e personalizados. Conclui-se que, apesar dos avanços, a colaboração entre médicos e IA, regulamentações claras e bases de dados robustas são essenciais para o sucesso da IA na oncologia.

A Atenção Primária à Saúde é fundamental para a integralidade do itinerário terapêutico das pessoas que vivem com HIV/AIDS. Objetivou-se compreender o itinerário terapêutico de gestantes e puérperas com HIV/AIDS acompanhadas nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, descritiva-transversal e de abordagem qualitativa, que empregou a história oral temática. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética mediante o parecer n.º 6.302.421. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário sociodemográfico, diário de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas a oito gestantes e duas puérperas atendidas nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde da região metropolitana de João Pessoa, Paraíba, no período de outubro de 2023 a março de 2024. O programa IRaMuTeQ apoiou a análise das entrevistas transcritas. O corpus apresentou 14.585 palavras e alcançou um aproveitamento de 77,33% segmentos de texto na classificação hierárquica descendente. Emergiram cinco categorias: “perspectivas familiares”, “religiosidade”, “relacionamento afetivo sexual”, “diagnóstico” e “especificidades do itinerário terapêutico”. Constatou-se que a Atenção Primária à Saúde é essencial para a integralidade do itinerário terapêutico das mulheres com HIV/AIDS e para o alcance das metas de diagnóstico, tratamento e supressão de carga viral. A efetividade da atenção à saúde requer que os profissionais envolvidos considerem a influência dos determinantes sociais relacionados ao HIV/AIDS nos períodos gestacional e puerperal.

Authors: Figueroa-Roldan Stevens Fulton , Garcia-Garcia Ana Cristina , Rodriguez-Vargas Antonio Ricardo
Published: October 2024

La problemática surge de la falta de adaptaciones curriculares específicas y personalizadas, así como de la escasa investigación y orientación práctica, lo que dificulta la plena inclusión de una estudiante con displasia de cadera en el sistema educativo. El objetivo principal es analizar las adaptaciones curriculares que promuevan la inclusión, la participación y la diversidad de la estudiante.
La metodología empleada fue un estudio de caso con enfoque mixto y diseño descriptivo, basado en investigación de campo. La población estuvo compuesta por 8 docentes de educación física y una estudiante de sexto grado con displasia de cadera. Las técnicas utilizadas incluyeron encuestas y observación científica, y los instrumentos fueron un cuestionario estructurado y una ficha de observación.
La propuesta se centra en la implementación de estrategias de adaptación curricular, como la modificación de actividades, el uso de materiales adaptados, la creación de un entorno de aprendizaje inclusivo, la evaluación diferenciada y el apoyo emocional y social. Además, se diseñó un programa de capacitación para los docentes. La aplicación de esta propuesta se realizó a lo largo de 4 semanas, con sesiones de 90 minutos en clase.
Los resultados más relevantes mostraron que, tanto en las encuestas a los docentes como en la observación directa de la estudiante, la falta de adaptaciones adecuadas fue un factor clave que contribuyó a su exclusión y limitó su progreso físico y emocional. No obstante, la implementación de las adaptaciones curriculares produjo resultados significativos, demostrando su efectividad en mejorar la calidad y estilo de vida de la estudiante.
Inhibición de PCSK9: una nueva alternativa para reducir el colesterol y prevenir la enfermedad cardiovascular aterosclerosa. Revisión sistemática
Authors: Robayo-Borja Diana Maribel , Carvajal-Borja Darwin Paul , Herrera-Miranda Jorge Paul
Published: October 2024

Introducción: La inhibición de convertasa de proproteína subtilisina/kexina tipo 9 (PCSK9) ha surgido como una prometedora alternativa en el manejo del colesterol y en la prevención de la enfermedad cardiovascular aterosclerosa (ASCVD), especialmente en pacientes con alto riesgo que no logran los niveles óptimos de lipoproteínas de baja densidad (LDL-C) con estatinas.
Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de los inhibidores de PCSK9 (alirocumab, evolocumab e inclisiran) en la reducción de LDL-C y otros perfiles lipídicos en pacientes con riesgo de ASCVD, además de comparar sus efectos con ezetimibe, en pacientes con y sin terapia con estatinas.
Metodología: Siguiendo la metodología PRISMA, se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en bases de datos como PubMed, Embase y Cochrane, limitada a los últimos cinco años para asegurar la relevancia y actualidad de los estudios.
Resultados: Los inhibidores de PCSK9, particularmente evolocumab y alirocumab, mostraron reducciones significativas en LDL-C y la apolipoproteína B (ApoB), y beneficios adicionales en la reducción de eventos cardiovasculares mayores en pacientes de alto riesgo, especialmente en aquellos intolerantes a las estatinas. Comparados con ezetimibe, los inhibidores de PCSK9 lograron mayor reducción en LDL-C, y en combinación con estatinas, presentaron una mayor eficacia sin un aumento significativo de efectos adversos graves. Sin embargo, en términos de fibrilación auricular y eventos cerebrovasculares, los resultados fueron inconsistentes.
Conclusiones: La inhibición de PCSK9, tanto en monoterapia como combinada con estatinas, demuestra una significativa reducción de LDL-C y un perfil de seguridad favorable, posicionándose como una opción terapéutica relevante para la prevención de ASCVD.

Authors: Al Bintang , Yuhelson Yuhelson , Akkapin Supaphorn
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness of mediation as a mechanism for resolving business disputes in Indonesia, focusing on its procedural efficiency and impact on the relationships between disputing parties. Employing a qualitative research approach with descriptive normative analysis, the research highlights the legal foundations of mediation established by laws such as Law No. 30 of 1999 and Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016, which mandate mediation prior to litigation. The findings reveal that while mediation presents significant benefits, including faster resolution times and cost savings, its effectiveness is contingent on several factors: public awareness, the quality of mediators, and the parties' willingness to engage collaboratively. The study emphasizes the importance of confidentiality, neutrality, and mutual interest as key principles in ensuring a fair mediation process. Despite the challenges faced, such as a preference for litigation and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of mediated agreements, the research indicates that mediation has the potential to enhance business relationships and streamline dispute resolution processes. The insights gleaned from this study not only contribute to the understanding of mediation within the Indonesian legal context but also offer valuable lessons for other jurisdictions aiming to develop their alternative dispute resolution frameworks.

Seguridad Social y Seguridad Biológica para el siglo XX: la experiencia de la sección médica de la Caja del Seguro Obligatorio
Authors: López Campillay Marcelo
Published: October 2024

En el año 1924, como producto de la crisis política y social que afectó al gobierno del reformista presidente Arturo Alessandri, se originó una nueva etapa institucional con la dictación de la ley N° 4.054 que fundó el seguro de enfermedad, invalidez y accidentes del trabajo. A cien años de este hito trascendental para la seguridad social chilena, el presente artículo pretende verificar el importante papel que en ese terreno ejerció la Caja del Seguro Obligatorio, una de las principales instituciones que nacieron para materializar una generación de derechos sociales y que, a su vez, fue una herramienta para procurar la seguridad social y biológica de los trabajadores y sus familias.
De este modo, mediante el examen de los principales lineamientos del trabajo de la sección médica de la Caja del Seguro Obligatorio, entre las décadas de 1930 y 1940, es posible apreciar que el enfoque preventivo, médico-social y los principios de planificación y la racionalización técnica y administrativa fueron los rasgos esenciales de su identidad institucional. Al mismo tiempo, a partir del análisis de esta experiencia es posible proponer que, en el afán de resguardar la aplicación de un derecho social y guiados por una inspiradora concepción socializante de la salud, los equipos profesionales la Caja del Seguro Obligatorio fraguaron experiencias pioneras que fueron claves para diseñar la ley de medicina preventiva y el futuro Servicio Nacional de Salud, que se constituyeron a la postre en hitos indiscutidos que favorecieron la consolidación de la seguridad social en el siglo XX chileno.

Authors: Gupta Simran , Zhou Emily , Ferreira Jason , Finn Arkadiy
Published: October 2024

A 78-year-old woman with a history of liver cirrhosis related to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis presented to the hospital with abdominal pain and distention. She was diagnosed with abdominal ascites and underwent paracentesis without evidence of infection. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy identified Grade 2 esophageal varices that were treated with band ligature. The patient developed dysphagia and was found to have esophageal necrosis and complete esophageal obstruction related to variceal banding. She was treated with removal of band ligatures and esophageal dilation, resulting in improved symptoms. Esophageal obstruction is a rare but important complication of variceal banding, which may occur within 24 hours of the procedure.

Influenza is a viral respiratory infection that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Due to its high susceptibility to antigenic variation, influenza A is responsible for causing pandemics. Fever, cough, dyspnea, and vomiting are common presenting symptoms. The spectrum of an influenza A virus infection ranges from a mild upper respiratory illness to life-threatening pneumonia. Hypoxia and chest radiographs consistent with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are seen in patients requiring intensive care. The reported incidence of patients with influenza A-associated ARDS requiring transition from conventional ventilation to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is variable. ECMO can be considered in patients with reversible respiratory failure, who are already on maximal conventional therapy and are not achieving lung-protective ventilation; wherein the benefits of ECMO are deemed to outweigh its risks. We describe the case of a 48-year-old female who developed ARDS secondary to influenza A requiring mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Soundscape Composition in the Framework of Cognitive Systems
Authors: Wu Bowen
Published: October 2024

After more than fifty years of development, soundscape composition has evolved from its initial purposes of education and archival work into a significant branch of contemporary music creation. With the advancement of recording technology, digital audio processing tools, and computer music software, the creative means of soundscape composition have been greatly expanded. At the same time, soundscape composition requires composers to make comprehensive use of multiple fields such as technology, art, science, society and culture. However, this also introduces more complex creative challenges, as composers may need to efficiently coordinate the use of various tools in multitasking environments and manage multidimensional interactive scenarios, which demands higher levels of cognitive ability and clearer workflow. This paper aims to discuss my own soundscape composition project within the framework of cognitive theories (extended mind and distributed cognition), in order to explore underdeveloped perspectives on the practice and learning of soundscape composition. This perspective may provide soundscape composers with a richer cognitive theoretical foundation and potential methodological support in the creative process, helping composers or researchers understand the dynamic cognitive processes of soundscape composition based on an analysis of the entire environment.
Predictive Modelling Using Museum Data
Authors: Li Xinrui
Published: October 2024

Museums face challenges in maintaining and preserving their vast collections, particularly when identifying artworks that require restoration and detecting potential forgeries. This project leverages machine learning models to enhance museum collection management. Using data from a museum collection, Random Forest and Isolation Forest algorithms predict restoration needs and detect forgeries, respectively. The results show high accuracy in restoration prediction, with Age at Acquisition being the most significant feature. Forgery detection flagged 1,303 potential cases, providing museums with valuable insights for further investigation. This approach streamlines operational processes and ensures the long-term preservation and authenticity of art collections.

From Exile to Integration: Immigration Patterns and Cultural Identity of Chinese and Jewish Communities in the United States
Authors: WU JIAYI
Published: October 2024

The Chinese immigration experience began in the mid-19th century, driven by economic opportunities and marked by significant challenges. In contrast, Jewish immigration, primarily occurring in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was driven by severe religious and racial persecution in Europe. Jewish immigrants sought refuge from violence and the Holocaust, finding a relatively open environment in the U.S. to maintain their religious and cultural traditions. This paper examines the immigration patterns and cultural identities of the Chinese and Jewish communities in the United States, highlighting their distinct historical backgrounds and experiences. This study applies theoretical frameworks from sociology and anthropology, including Everett Lee’s “Push-Pull Theory,” Stuart Hall’s cultural identity theory, and Anthony Giddens’ theory of modernity, to analyze how these communities’ immigration patterns have influenced their cultural identities. The study compares the Chinese community’s economic-driven integration and the Jewish community’s diverse approach to cultural preservation. The findings provide insights into the complexities of cultural identity within the U.S. multicultural landscape and highlight the varied strategies adopted by different immigrant groups. Limitations of this study include its focus on Chinese and Jewish communities, which may not fully represent other immigrant experiences. Future research should consider a broader range of immigrant groups to enhance understanding of cultural integration and identity.
