Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes: How Ankle Brachial Index Can Be Usefull?
Authors: ABDELBAKI M. , MEFTAH Assia , BAGHOUS Houssem , ALI Said , BOUDIBA Aissa
Published: November 2023

Background: Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face a significantly higher mortality risk compared to the general population, primarily due to elevated rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Detecting cardiovascular disease at its preclinical stage is essential for effective primary prevention in this relatively young population. This study aims to assess the link between steno-risk and subclinical atherosclerotic disease, as detected by the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), in T1D patients and determine the prevalence of these abnormalities among them.
Methods: A cohort of 312 adults with T1D (151 males and 161 females, mean age 31 ± 12 years) was examined. Patients were categorized based on their ABI values (ABI < 0.9 indicating peripheral arterial disease (PAD), ABI ≥ 1.3 indicating arterial calcification (AC), and ABI between 0.9 and 1.3 indicating normal ABI). The study analyzed the relationship between ABI anomalies and cardiovascular risk factors and their association with the steno-risk category.
Results: Among the patients, 138 (44.2%) had a normal ABI, 112 (35.9%) had PAD, and 62 (19.9%) had AC. AC was more prevalent in men than in women (p = 0.006). A family history of stroke was common in both the PAD and AC groups (p = 0.042 and p = 0.046, respectively). Patients with AC were often older (36 ± 13 vs. 30 ± 12; P = .012), had a longer duration of diabetes (20 ± 11 vs. 14 ± 9; P < 0.001), a higher prevalence of hypertension (25.8% vs. 14.5%, P = 0.05), and a higher prevalence of smoking (19.3% vs. 9.4%, P = 0.046). A higher number of subjects with AC were found in the Steno-Risk 10–20% and Steno-Risk ≥20% categories compared to the Steno-Risk < 10% (37.5 vs. 15.5; 29 vs. 15.5, p = 0.0106, respectively).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that an ABI > 1.30 is more common in older patients with type 1 diabetes and is associated with a longer duration of diabetes, male gender, smoking, hypertension, and a family history of stroke. Furthermore, an ABI > 1.30, indicating arterial calcification, is significantly linked to moderate and high cardiovascular risk assessed by steno-risk in patients with type 1 diabetes. The ABI may serve as a straightforward tool for screening atherosclerosis in T1D.

“Dios te diría ‘Yo no te hice esclava’”: percepciones del rol de la mujer en una iglesia cristiana de Lima
Authors: Diaz Saenz Lucia Cristina , Villegas Guerrero Lucia Victoria , Cruz Pacheco Brisa Alejandra
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo analiza las percepciones de género entre las mujeres de la iglesia cristiana Agua Viva en Lima Metropolitana y Callao (Perú), basándose en la sociología de la experiencia de Francois Dubet. La investigación utiliza un enfoque cualitativo mediante entrevistas a siete miembros de la Iglesia. Los hallazgos muestran convergencias entre las creencias religiosas de las mujeres y sus percepciones sobre roles de género en la familia, educación, trabajo y participación comunitaria. Aunque hay consenso entre las entrevistadas sobre la importancia de la participación femenina en la vida pública, también hay tensiones entre sus experiencias y visiones sobre roles de género en la esfera privada, especialmente en torno al matrimonio y la maternidad. Las mujeres justifican e interpretan sus percepciones basándose, entre otros elementos, en sus principios religiosos, expresando creencias conservadoras y otras adoptando perspectivas más progresistas. El estudio resalta la diversidad de interpretaciones y actitudes entre las participantes, desafiando el estereotipo de conservadurismo extremo en iglesias evangélicas y revelando matices en las perspectivas de las mujeres dentro de estas comunidades religiosas.
El pensamiento sociológico aún vigente, el expertise en la actualidad
Authors: Mejía Alessandro Nicolas
Published: November 2023

El libro Pensando Sociológicamente de Zygmunt Bauman y Tim May se ha convertido en una obra clásica en la disciplina sociológica contemporánea y, por qué no decirlo, en las ciencias sociales. En este escrito, el autor propone el acercamiento a la sociología como un instrumento que nos proporciona la capacidad de estudiar las relaciones sociales, analizando las experiencias en conjunto con otras comprendiéndolas como parte de una red de interrelaciones personales, además de abordar la marcada diferencia entre el sentido común de uso diario y la disciplina sociológica. Finalmente, se resalta la relevancia social del libro, ya que en este se menciona el concepto del expertise tecnológico, del cual es factible extraer un ejemplo y vincularlo a la nueva forma de trabajo remoto originada a partir del aislamiento social por la covid-19.

Authors: Mohanapriya R. , Kalpana R. , Aravinth K. Vijay , Guna M. , Kumar K. Udhaya , Silambarasa M.
Published: November 2023

Background: In India, about 6.75 million ha, which is around 2.3% of the country’s geographical area is salt affected of which 3.79 million ha is sodic soil. Total sodic soil area in Tamil Nadu is around 0.36 million ha, accounting for 9.5% of total sodic soil area in India. Reclamation of salt-affected soil using drainage is expensive and leaching with good quality water is uneconomical in shallow water table areas. Addition of organic amendments performs a dual role in these situations by enhancing gypsum solubility and improving soil physico-chemical characteristics. Methods: In this context a field experiment was conducted at Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute, Tiruchirappalli during summer season of 2021 and 2022 to study the reclamation potential of ameliorants under sodic soil. The experiments were laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatments comprised of different soil amendments in main plot and foliar nutrition in sub plot. Result: The results showed that, gypsum @ 50% GR+CSR GROMOR @ 25 kg ha-1 registered significantly higher growth parameters viz., plant height (53.5 and 58.4 cm), no. of branches plant-1 (7.27 and 6.75), DMP (2791 and 2801 kg ha-1), physiological characters viz.,CGR (4.12 and 4.46 g m-2 day-1), SPAD value (27.70 and 29.96), RWC (64.10 and 56.15%) and soluble protein (74.60 and 69.72 mg g-1) at harvest. It also increased grain yield of 834 and 875 kg ha-1 with higher exchangeable Ca and Mg with lower Na content during 2021 and 2022 year of experiments.

The Legal Protection for Young Domestic Workers in Ethiopia
Authors: Degu Temesgen Abebe
Published: November 2023

As the saying goes, the child is the father of the man. We must properly bring up and protect our children today not least because in the future they will shoulder huge responsibility in taking charge of this country after replacing us. In many countries, especially developing ones like Ethiopia, children engage in different types of works for various reasons. Domestic work is one of such sector. Child (domestic) work is not prohibited if it is done by those above the minimum working age (14 years) under a condition that is not exploitative. The problem in Ethiopia, though, is that (child) domestic work is altogether excluded from legal protection (under the labour proclamation). Without formal regulation, child domestics are prone to exploitation by their employers. This kind of exploitation is a human rights violation in addition to being a serious development concern and gender equality challenge.

This research aims at examining the adequacy of legal protection for young domestic workers under the Ethiopian legal system. To this end, the research employs a cross-sectional qualitative research design. Within this design, the research adopts a phenomenological methodology. The research concludes that there is inadequate legal protection for young domestic workers in Ethiopia beginning from formation of contract to terms of employment and working conditions.
When the Court Decisions Encourage Deforestation in Indonesia: A Case of Tahura Mangrove Forest Project
Authors: Rosariani Putu Eka , Widiatedja I Gusti Ngurah Parikesit , Qadam Shah Muhammad
Published: November 2023

The abstract presents a critical analysis of the role played by court decisions in the prevention of deforestation. Over the past few decades, Indonesia has witnessed extensive deforestation, primarily due to the expansion of oil palm and agriculture. This has had a significant impact on Bali's tourism industry, which heavily relies on this sector for development. The Tahura Mangrove Forest Project serves as an example of a tourism venture that has resulted in damage to the forested area. Despite the prohibition of commercial projects on protected land, the government issued a utilization permit for the construction of guest houses. Rather than effectively curbing deforestation, this study demonstrates how controversial court decisions have actually encouraged it. The courts' assertion that public interest groups lacked standing to challenge violations of forestry laws, which could potentially cause environmental harm, was based on the argument that the damage was only a possibility during the planning stage and could not be accurately quantified. This paper identifies three factors contributing to the judges' adoption of a narrow standing test: their limited judicial competence, reliance on the Supreme Court's existence, and corruption.

What’s Wrong with Enterprise Risk Management?
Authors: Fraser John , Quail Rob , Simkins Betty
Published: November 2023

Enterprise risk management (ERM) was introduced in the 1990s and has become an expectation by boards of directors and regulators as a sign of good management and good corporate governance. However, many organizations struggle to implement ERM, and still seek practical ad-vice on ERM implementation. This article explains many of the reasons why organizations are unsuccessful in their efforts at implementation and provides practical solutions by an experienced risk manager and consultant, an ex-Chief Risk Officer, and an academic, all who has writ-ten extensively in the subject. This article should be of interest to practitioners involved in implementing ERM, to consultants in ERM, and to academics teaching courses on ERM, risk management, and related topics. This article also provides a base against which further future re-search can be done as ERM best practices continue to evolve.
Benchmarking Perception to Streaming Inputs in Vision‐Centric Autonomous Driving
Authors: Jin Tianshi , Ding Weiping , Yang Mingliang , Zhu Honglin , Dai Peisong
Published: November 2023

In recent years, vision-centric perception has played a crucial role in autonomous driving tasks, encompassing functions such as 3D detection, map construction, and motion forecasting. However, the deployment of vision-centric approaches in practical scenarios is hindered by substantial latency, often deviating significantly from the outcomes achieved through offline training. This disparity arises from the fact that conventional benchmarks for autonomous driving perception predominantly conduct offline evaluations, thereby largely overlooking the latency concerns prevalent in real-world deployment. While a few benchmarks have been proposed to address this limitation by introducing effective evaluation methods for online perception, they do not adequately consider the intricacies introduced by the complexity of input information streams. To address this gap, we propose the Autonomous-driving Streaming I/O (ASIO) benchmark, aiming to assess the streaming inputs characteristics and online performance of vision-centric perception in autonomous driving. To facilitate this evaluation across diverse streaming inputs, we initially establish a dataset based on the CARLA Leaderboard. In alignment with real-world deployment considerations, we further develop evaluation metrics based on information complexity specifically tailored for streaming inputs and streaming performance. Experimental results indicate significant variations in model performance and ranking under different major camera deployments, underscoring the necessity of thoroughly accounting for the influences of model latency and streaming inputs characteristics during real-world deployment. To enhance streaming performance consistently across distinct streaming inputs features, we introduce a backbone switcher based on the identified streaming inputs characteristics. Experimental validation demonstrates its efficacy in perpetually improving streaming performance across varying streaming inputs features.
A New Method for Immobilization of β‐Galactosidase on Glass Fibre Rolls
Authors: Pečar Darja , Zečević Katja , Goršek Andreja
Published: November 2023

The usability of glass fibers as immobilization support with porous open structure has been explored. We have developed a method for immobilization of β-galactosidase on special glass fiber rolls. The new method provides a simple, non-expensive and industrially applicable method. Glutaraldehyde was used as a non-specific crosslinking agent for covalent binding of β-galactosidase on modified glass fibers. The efficiency of immobilization was tested with the known hydrolysis of lactose. All experiments were performed in a continuous laboratory reactor. The effect of reaction temperature (20, 25, and 30) °C, substrate flow rate (1, 2, and 3) mL/min, and pH of the reaction medium (6, 7, and 8) on the conversion was studied. The reaction efficiency was monitored by measuring the glucose concentration with a spectrophotometer. High immobilization efficiency and enzyme activity and stability were obtained. The optimum reaction temperature, substrate flow rate and pH were found. The activity and stability of the enzyme entrapped on the glass fiber rolls remained almost unchanged during reuse, which is a good prospect for potential industrial applications.
Modeling of Cross-Coupled AC–DC Charge Pump Operating in Subthreshold Region
Authors: Kotsubo Ryoma , Tanzawa Toru
Published: November 2023

This paper proposes a circuit model of Cross-Coupled CMOS AC – DC Charge Pump (XC – CP) operating in subthreshold region. The aim is improving the efficiency to design XC – CPs with variety of specifications, e.g., input and output voltages and AC input frequency. First, it is shown that the output resistance (Ro) of XC – CP is much higher than those of CPs with single diodes (SD – CP) and ultra-low-power diodes (ULPD – CP) as charge transfer switches (CTSs). Second, the reason behind the above feature of XC – CP is identified by a simple model that the gate-to-source voltages of CTS MOSFETs are independent of the output voltage of the CP. Third, high but finite Ro of XC – CP is explainable with a more accurate model that includes the dependence of the saturation current of MOSFETs operating in subthreshold region on the drain-to-source voltage which is a function of the output voltage of CP. The model was in good agreement with measured and simulated results of XC – , SD – and ULPD – CPs fabricated in 250 nm CMOS.
High-Performance Hydrogen-Selective Pd-Ag Membranes Modified with Pd-Pt Nanoparticles for Use in Steam Reforming Membrane Reactors
Authors: Petriev Iliya , Pushankina Polina , Andreev Georgy , Dzhimak Stepan
Published: November 2023

A unique method for synthesizing a surface modifier for metallic hydrogen permeable mem-branes based on non-classic bimetallic pentagonally structured Pd-Pt nanoparticles has been de-veloped. It was found that nanoparticles had unique hollow structure. This significantly reduces the cost of their production due to economical use of metal. According to the results of electro-chemical studies, synthesized bimetallic Pd-Pt/Pd-Ag modifier showed excellent catalytic activi-ty (up to 60.72 mA cm–2), long-term stability and resistance to COads poisoning in alkaline oxida-tion reaction of methanol. The membrane with pentagonally structured Pd-Pt/Pd-Ag modifier showed the highest hydrogen permeation flux density up to 27.3 mmol s–1 m–2. Obtained hy-drogen flux density were 2 times higher than that for membranes with classic Pdblack/Pd-Ag modifier and an order of magnitude higher than that for unmodified membrane. Since the rate of transcrystalline hydrogen transfer through a membrane increased, while the speed of transfer through defects remained unchanged, a one and a half times rise in selectivity of the developed Pd-Pt/Pd-Ag membranes was recorded and it amounted to 3514. Achieved results are due to both the synergistic effect of the combination of Pd and Pt metals in the modifier composition and the large number of available catalytically active centers, which are present as a result of non-classic morphology with high-index facets. The specific faceting, defect structure and unusual properties provide great opportunities for the application of nanoparticles in the areas of membrane reac-tors, electrocatalysis, petrochemical and hydrogen industries.

It was examined how various pre-treatments affected the sample’s texture, morphology, color and density properties as well as their moisture content and effective moisture diffusion coefficient (Deff). Results showed that NaCl osmotic dehydration pre-treatment and sucrose solution decreased oil uptake by 30.76% and 41.75%. This is attributed to moisture removal increasing caused by improving dielectric properties. Osmotic dehydration and coating pre-treatment frequently enhanced product shrinkage, browning index, a* and ∆E. Conversely, density, lightness, breaking force, Deff and b* decreased. In control samples, SEM revealed a severely damaged internal structure in comparison to a tissue homogenous layer produced by coating. For moisture loss and oil uptake, the coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) of eight empirical models were compared. Finally, the Dehghannya and Krokida model (moisture loss) and the Movahhed and Naghavi model (oil uptake) were found the best fit to the experimental data. Although coating pre-treatment and osmotic dehydration can be used as an alternate de-oiling approach for potato chips, the mechanism of oil uptake reduction differ.

Elevated ammonium (NH4+) concentrations in untreated waterways contribute to eutrophication and dissolved oxygen depletion, which cause severe degradation of water quality. Ion exchange processes are a robust, low operational cost and efficient option for ammonium removal with zeolites being the most widely used. Geopolymers are a sustainable and low-cost option compared to zeolites that follows the same ion exchange technology. In the present study, a metakaolin-based porous geopolymer was synthetized, characterised and validated as adsorbent material. The laboratory batch tests showed a maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) of 18.35 mg/g being 27% higher than reference zeolites. Kinetics followed the Weber-Morris rate equation being the intraparticle diffusion the limiting process and continuous experiments indicated a maximum removal of 97% in the first hours. The material was validated in a wastewater treatment pilot plant where values in pH, electrical conductivity and NH4+ concentration were monitored. The obtained data indicated that the material achieved up to 80% NH4+ removal which is similar to traditional zeolites. The results demonstrate that this sustainable, low-cost and easy-to-install metakaolin-based geopolymer can be used effectively for NH4+ treatment.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) into a production brick mixture in order to mitigate difficulties encountered in the production environment. Three distinct tests were conducted to assess the preparation process. The first test served as a reference, utilizing 100% clay material without RDF. The second test involved the inclusion of 10% RDF, obtained from a waste factory, with a grain size less than 20mm. In the third test, the RDF was mixed with silica sand after undergoing hammer milling with a 2mm sieve, followed by a 10% incorporation into the mixture. The primary objective was to comprehend the behavior of these mixtures in two critical stages: extrusion and drying. Extrusion performance was evaluated by examining the shaping process from the mold, vacuum conditions within the extruder, and the cutting of wet sample bricks. Furthermore, the drying procedure was assessed in terms of shrinkage, drying sensitivity, and appearance. Comparisons were made among the three test scenarios to identify the influence of RDF on these key parameters. Preliminary results indicate that the inclusion of RDF impacted the extrusion process. The addition of RDF resulted in variations in the flow characteristics of the mixture, affecting the shape formation from the mold and the vacuum conditions within the extruder. Additionally, the cutting of wet sample bricks exhibited some differences compared to the reference test. Concerning the drying phase, the presence of RDF influenced shrinkage behavior and drying sensitivity. The mixture with RDF showed different shrinkage patterns compared to the reference, and its drying sensitivity was altered. Moreover, the appearance of the bricks after drying exhibited notable variations due to the incorporation of RDF. In conclusion, incorporating RDF in the brick mixture introduces changes in both the extrusion and drying stages. The alteration in flow characteristics and vacuum conditions during extrusion, as well as the variations in shrinkage, drying sensitivity, and appearance during drying, suggest that further investigation is necessary to optimize the incorporation of RDF for improved brick production. These findings contribute to the understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with the utilization of RDF in brick manufacturing processes.

Phyllanthus emblica (P. emblica) has been described in many studies to have multiple therapeutic activities and is considered an important part of Ayurvedic and Unani medicinal systems. This study successfully synthesized P. emblica loaded polyvinylalcohol/gelatin based cryogels (PVA/Gel/P.emblica) to examine their potential in wound dressing applications. Swelling tests, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and morphology analysis were conducted within the scope of characterization studies. In vitro cell culture studies were performed using HaCaT cells to illustrate the suitability of the synthesized cryogels as wound dressing material. The swelling tests and BET analysis results showed that swelling and surface area properties of cryogels increased with increasing P. emblica amounts. Morphological results displayed that the cryogels had a dense, interconnected pore morphology and a macroporous structure. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), trypan blue exclusion and live-dead assay results revealed that adding of P. emblica into cryogels led to enhanced cell proliferation, increased cell number, and improved cell viability. Based on the phase contrast microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), immunofluorescence and giemsa staining images, it was observed that P. emblica promoted cell attachment, proliferation and penetration. In conclusion, it has been shown that PVA/Gel/P.emblica cryogels are suitable for use as wound dressing materials and can be developed with further studies.

SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to life-threatening clinical manifestations. Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at higher risk for severe courses of COVID-19. However, strategies to predict the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in CVD patients at the time of hospital admission are still missing. Here, we investigated whether this prediction is achievable by prospectively analysing the blood immunophenotype of 94 participants, including 20 uninfected and 37 acutely SARS-CoV-2-infected CVD patients and 37 healthy donors, using a 36-colour spectral flow cytometry panel. Unsupervised data analysis revealed little differences between healthy donors and CVD patients, whereas the distribution of the cell populations changed dramatically in SARS-CoV-2-infected CVD patients. The latter had more mature NK cells, activated monocyte subsets, central memory CD4+ T cells, and plasmablasts but fewer dendritic cells, CD16+ monocytes, innate lymphoid cells, and CD8+ T cell subsets. Moreover, we identified an immune signature characterised by mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, intermediate effector CD8+ T cells, and natural killer T (NKT) cells that is predictive for CVD patients with a severe course of COVID-19. Thus, intensified immunophenotype analyses can help identify patients at risk of severe COVID-19 at hospital admission, improving clinical outcomes through specific treatment.

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcys) is recognized as an independent risk factor for various significant medical conditions, yet controversy persists around its assessment and management. The diagnosis of disorders affecting homocysteine (Hcys) metabolism faces delays due to insufficient awareness of its clinical presentation and unique biochemical characteristics. In cases of arterial or venous thrombotic vascular events, particularly with other comorbidities, it is crucial to consider moderate to severe HHcys. A nutritional approach to HHcys management involves implementing dietary strategies and targeted supplementation, emphasizing key nutrients like vitamin B6, B12, and folate crucial for Hcys conversion. Adequate intake of these vitamins, along with betaine supplementation, supports Hcys remethylation. Lifestyle modifications, such as smoking cessation and regular physical activity, complement the nutritional approach to enhance Hcys metabolism. For individuals with HHcys, maintaining a plasma Hcys concentration below 50 μmol/L consistently is vital to lower the risk of vascular events. Collaboration with healthcare professionals and dietitians is essential for developing personalized dietary plans addressing specific needs and underlying health conditions. This integrated approach aims to optimize metabolic processes and reduce the associated health risks.
PEDOT:PSS versus Polyaniline: A Comparative Study of Conducting Polymers for Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Published: November 2023

Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) based on conducting polymers have attracted significant attention in the field of biosensors. PEDOT:PSS and polyaniline (PANI) are representative conducting polymers used for OECTs. While there are many studies on PEDOT:PSS, there are not so many reports on PANI-based OECTs, and a detailed study to compare these two polymers has been desired. In this study, we investigated the fabrication conditions to produce the best performance in the OECTs using the above-mentioned two types of conducting polymers. Two main parameters were film thickness and film surface roughness. For PEDOT:PSS, the optimal conditions for fabricating thin films were a spin-coating rate of 3000 rpm and DI water immersion time of 18 hours. For PANI, the optimal conditions were a spin-coating rate of 3000 rpm and DI water immersion time of 5 seconds, and adding dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) was found to provide better OECT performances. The OECT performances based on PEDOT:PSS were superior to those based on PANI in terms of conductivity and transconductance, but PANI showed excellence in terms of film thickness and surface smoothness, leading to the good reproducibility of OECT performances.
