Narcanazo: Community Activation of Antiracist Epidemiology
Authors: Oyola-Santiago Tamara , Gelpí-Acosta Camila , Aponte-Meléndez Yesenia , Cano Manuel
Published: July 2024

The Latinx (Hispanic) social construct obscures differences in the overdose risk levels of groups within this category. When national data are disaggregated, stateside Puerto Rican mortality increases exponentially, so much that this community has the highest rates of overdose deaths across years. Developed by Bronx-based Puerto Ricans, Narcanazo is an empowered upstander campaign that uses local overdose data to mobilize community members as trained naloxone dispensers. This health promotion campaign was grounded in antiracist epidemiological analysis. ( Am J Public Health. 2024;114(S6):S463–S466. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307605 )

Authors: Delgado Garcia Mayra Alejandra , Chinchilla Melissa , Henwood Benjamin , Chien Jessie , Kwack Stephanie , Kuhn Randall
Published: July 2024

Objectives. To identify sociodemographic shifts among unsheltered Latino people experiencing homelessness (PEH) between 2020–2022.

Methods. We examined differences in characteristics reported in demographic surveys for Latino PEH older than 25 years from 2020 (n = 1215) and 2022 (n = 1395) in Los Angeles County, California, using weighted bivariate χ2 tests.

Results. From 2020 to 2022, there was a 25% increase in the number of unsheltered Latino individuals. The share of Latino PEH who were unemployed increased (57% to 67%). The increase in homelessness occurred largely among individuals living in vehicles (14% to 33%), rather than in tents or on sidewalks. Latino PEH were significantly less likely to report mental illness (24% vs 18%) and had higher rates of first entry into homelessness in the past 2 years than non-Latino respondents.

Conclusions. Our results are consistent with the effects of increasing socioeconomic vulnerability, likely related to COVID-19, in driving the increase in Latino PEH.

Policy Implications. The rise in homelessness among economically vulnerable yet healthy Latinos suggests a need to bolster social safety nets and increase homelessness prevention programs. ( Am J Public Health. 2024;114(S6):S510–S514. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307717 )

First Record of Breeding Behavior by the Chestnut-sided Warbler in Washington
Authors: Maron Mason W. , Borre Cara
Published: July 2024

The Chestnut-sided Warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) typically breeds in early successional deciduous forests of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. In recent decades, however, the species has become increasingly regular as a vagrant in the western U.S. and Canada. Over several weeks in June and July 2023, near Gig Harbor, Pierce County, we observed the first documented breeding behavior of the Chestnut-sided Warbler in Washington State, including territorial singing by the male and nest-building by the female. The increase in early successional vegetation following logging or wildfires could favor the Chestnut-sided Warbler becoming a regular breeding species in the Pacific Northwest.
Diversity, effectiveness and biochemical characterization of Bambara groundnut symbiotic Rhizobia strains in tropical Nigerian soils
Authors: DIANDA M. , FAGADE O.E. , AJAYI O. O.
Published: July 2024

Bambara groundnut (BG) has a high nutritious content, is under-utilized with the potential to eradicate malnutrition, yet has very low production rates. Rhizobia inoculant can enhance it’s production, but, inadequate information about the diversity and suitability of rhizobia strains is known. Diversities of Bambara-symbiotic-rhizobia in soils (54) collected across three states in Nigeria were characterized morphologically and biochemically. Strains were evenly distributed between; Niger (36%), Kaduna (35%), and Kano (29%), but significantly different between local governments. Rhizobia strains were Gram negative rods, 10% were highly effective, while 81% were infective. Strains couldn’t hydrolyse starch but showed varied utilization abilities for different carbon sources, 73% hydrolysed gelatin and 66% produced catalase enzyme. A wide diversity of Bambara-symbiotic-strains were present in the soils, but only 10% effectively fixed nitrogen. Although there is a rich diversity of Bamabara-symbiotic-strains in these soils, it is necessary to apply suitable effective rhizobia strains as inoculant.

Authors: Engineer Yohan , Rezk Ahmed , Elsheniti Mahmoud B. , Baniasadi Ehsan , Fouly Ahmed
Published: July 2024

Decarbonizing heat-intensive industries by reusing the waste heat for power or combined heat and power systems is becoming increasingly important to address global warming. The organic Rankine Cycle has shown a high level of feasibility and performed efficiently for utilizing medium-to-low-grade heat from renewable resources and heat-intensive industries for direct power generation. This study contributes to the field by conducting a techno-economic investigation of various ORC configurations to enhance energy conversion when real-life transient waste heat sources are available. These configurations were optimized to maximize energy output along with economic benefits. The NLPQL, a computational in-intensive yet accurate optimization algorithm, was utilized for the multi-objective optimization. The optimized cycle configurations showed a 12.57% enhancement of turbine efficiency. Combining regeneration and recuperation enhanced the superheating by 32%, and the optimized air preheater cycle improved the overall objective by 64.2% compared to the pre-optimized conventional cycle, leading to a feasible 1.72-year payback period.
Why did not all studies conducted during Darfur’s armed conflict between 2004 and 2012 obtain ethics approval? Insights from a Qualitative Study
Authors: Hussein Ghaiath , Elmusharaf Khalifa
Published: July 2024

Background
Armed conflicts are associated with multiple factors that may deem applying the ethical standards of research conducted in war-affected areas hard to achieve, compared to research conducted in peace time.
Objective
Using the example of studies conducted by the humanitarian agencies in the war-troubled region of Darfur, west Sudan between 2004 and 2012, a qualitative study was pursued to have a deeper understanding of the factors that affected the reporting of gaining the ethical approval in the published reports of these studies.
Methods
A qualitative study was used that involved conducting interviews and focus groups with the relevant stakeholders, namely the representatives of the national and international non-governmental organizations, UN agencies, and the national humanitarian and research governance bodies in Sudan.
Results
38 participants were involved (5 interviewees and 33 participants in the focus groups). The participants expressed a consensus on the need for an ethical oversight for research in the humanitarian settings in Sudan and particularly Darfur. Following a thematic analysis, four main themes were identified to explain why the humanitarian studies in Darfur were not submitted to formal ethical approval. These are 1) Inconsistent definitions of research, 2) Perceptions of low-risk, 3) Perceived urgency due to emergency context, 4) Prior study or tool approval, and 5) Lack of knowledge about ethics review procedures.
Conclusion
Institutional gaps in humanitarian governance structures are identified, urging the need for specialized ethics oversight mechanisms. The dynamic nature of humanitarian crises prompts nuanced approaches to ethical scrutiny, emphasizing policy initiatives to harmonize research and humanitarian governance frameworks and learning lessons from research ethics oversight in public health emergencies.

Published: July 2024

Background : Prostate cancer represents a real public health issue in countries with limited resources and is often diagnosed at late stages. The aim of the study was to determine the factors associated with late diagnosis of prostate cancer in Togo.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a descriptive and analytical, relating to cases of prostate cancer, diagnosed in the Urology department and histologically confirmed at the Pathological Anatomy and Cytology Laboratory of the Lomé; from April 4, 2022 to April 28, 2023, in Togo.
Results: A total, 102 cases of prostate cancer were recorded. The average age was 67.79 ± 8.5 years. The mean PSA level was 521.3933±1060 ng/ml. Histologically, it was acinar adenocarcinoma in 99.02%. All patients in our study were diagnosed at the late stage with 31.37% pT3NxMx stage and 68.63% pT4NxMx stage of the pTNM classification. It was Gleason score 9 in 31 patients (30.39%). After multivariate analysis, two factors were associated with late diagnosis of prostate cancer : diagnostic error (p-value = 0.032; ORC = 1.30; 95% CI [1.10-24.9]); taking a second opinion (p-value = 0.0170; ORa = 2.62; 95% CI [2.01-4.7]). However, factors involving easy access to the health system before prostate cancer diagnosis appear to be major protective factors for diagnosis at an advanced stage of disease.
Conclusion: The diagnosis error and the taking of a second opinion are the factors on which it will be necessary to act to make an early diagnosis of prostate cancer in our context.

Authors: Achmad Chusnul Adib , Lestari Yunita Dwi , Purnomo Eko
Published: July 2024

The main source of pollutants is the impact of domestic (household waste), which pile up due to high population levels. The accumulation of domestic waste produces wastewater containing heavy metals, including iron (Fe), which is then absorbed into the ground and flows into rivers. Phytoremediation is a method that can remove, absorb, destroy, and degrade pollutants, including heavy metals, in water. Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle has become a plant known as a good phytoremediator agent. This research aims to determine morphological changes and the effect of phytoremediation Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle will remediate the water of the Kaligarang River with an exposure time of 5 and 10 days. The testing of iron level (Fe) is done using analysis with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The results obtained were that the iron (Fe) content was originally 1.2222 mg/L, decreased as much as 0.9539 mg/L in treatment S1 with an average value of 0.1683 mg/L, and in treatment S2 decreased to 0.3557 mg/L with an average value of 0.766.

While the world population is increasing day by day, environmental problems are reaching a level that cannot be ignored. Environmentalist steps are being taken in many areas, and governments are resorting to sanctions. It aims to reduce fossil fuel use as an environmental step in the transportation industry. Increasing the use of electric vehicles will be significant progress in achieving this goal. Batteries are generally used to store energy in electric vehicles. However, besides the weight problem and insufficient power density of the batteries, they have disadvantages, such as being produced from environmentally harmful materials. In this context, new energy storage technologies are being researched. One of them is “supercapacitor” technology. This paper is a review article examining several aspects of supercapacitors.
Cord Blood pH and Lactate- A Step Ahead in Diagnosis of Fetal Acidaemia in Patients with Abnormal Cardiotocography
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Indrani , Singh Sanjay , Kachatti Sushila
Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVES: Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is used to identify early signs of fetal deterioration. However, caution is advised when interpreting cardiotocographic parameters. A promising alternative is umbilical cord blood sampling. The analysis of blood gases and lactate levels in the cord within the ini-tial minutes of life is a recommended approach.
STUDY DESIGN: This prospective cohort study, conducted over eighteen months from June 2021 to December 2022, enrolled 70 patients with non-reactive and 70 with reactive cardiotocograph (CTG) pat-terns. APGAR scores were recorded at 1 and 5-minute intervals. 1 ml of umbilical artery blood was as-sessed in an arterial blood gas machine and fetal acidosis was defined as pH <7.0 and a lactate con-centration exceeding 4 mmol/L.
RESULTS: In the non-reactive CTG group, 35.7% had early decelerations, 37.1% had variable decel-erations, and 17.1% had late decelerations (p<0.001). The mean cord blood lactate was 5.220±1.970 mmol/L in the non-reactive CTG group and 3.400±0.228 mmol/L in the reactive CTG group. Similarly, the mean cord blood pH was 7.030±0.007 in the non-reactive CTG group and 7.170±0.076 in the reac-tive CTG group (p<0.001). 14.3% of cases in the non-reactive CTG group had a 5-minute APGAR <7, with a higher APGAR score in the reactive group.
CONCLUSION: The study suggests that abnormal or indeterminate CTG readings are linked to a higher risk of intrapartum fetal acidosis. Non-reactive CTG results were associated with higher mean cord blood lactate and pH levels and more number of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admissions. There is a definite correlation between abnormal CTG patterns and poorer neonatal outcomes.

Published: July 2024

Background:

The pseudo-Cushing's encompass several disorders that can occur in
high-stress situations and that show biochemical features like those of Cushing's syndrome. We
present a case with difficult differential diagnosis for overlapping laboratory findings.

Case Report:

A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for worsening dyspnoea for a
month, 15 kilograms of weight loss in the previous months, asthenia, hypotonia, and muscle
hypotrophy. Moreover, due to the onset of acute hypoxic-hypercapnic respiratory failure, the
patient was treated with non-invasive ventilation and then admitted to the intensive care unit, for
pneumonia and respiratory failure due to Meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and
Klebsiella Aerogenes. Antibiotic therapy was started. During the treatment in the ICU, the patient
underwent endotracheal intubation for the worsening of respiratory function, and inotropic
drug therapy was introduced for the development of septic shock. Hormones were tested, showing
an ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism. The results of Nugent, Liddle, and the dexamethasone-
suppressed CRH stimulation tests suggested a not-neoplastic ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism.
The pituitary contrasted magnetic resonance image showed gland hypertrophy, and
the abdominal computed tomography ruled out adrenal lesions. Unfortunately, the patient developed
a multi-organ failure and died. The autopsy finding confirmed the absence of pituitary
and other neuroendocrine tumors and showed bilateral adrenal hypotrophy.

Conclusion:

Our clinical case described a patient with pseudo-Cushing's syndrome during sepsis
and pre-agonist phase, with a difficult differential diagnosis, in which the combination of the
low-dose dexamethasone suppression test and the CRH test allowed a conclusive and correct
diagnostic orientation.
PENGARUH PRA-PERLAKUAN DENTIN DENGAN FLAVONOID DAN AGEN REMINERALISASI TERHADAP KUAT REKAT DENTIN: TELAAH PUSTAKA
Authors: Putri Shahnaz , Kusuma Eriwati Yosi
Published: July 2024

Latar Belakang: Ketahanan kuat rekat resin komposit-dentin yang karies menjadi permasalahan dikarenakan terjadi demineralisasi parsial oleh enzim kolagenolitik yaitu matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Enzim MMPs dapat mengakibatkan degradasi matriks kolagen pada lapisan hibrida. Maka dilakukan pra-perlakuan dentin menggunakan agen pengikat silang eksogen berupa larutan flavonoid sebagai inhibitor MMPs. Selain itu, dapat juga menggunakan agen remineralisasi pada dentin yang karies sebagai pra-perlakuan untuk meningkatkan kuat rekatnya. Tujuan: Mengevaluasi pengaruh pra-perlakuan dentin menggunakan berbagai senyawa flavonoid, agen remineralisasi maupun kombinasi keduanya terhadap kuat rekat resin komposit-dentin. Metode: Gigi premolar atau molar pada permukaan dentin diaplikaskan pra-perlakuan (flavonoid, agen remineralisasi dan kombinasi) selama 1 menit sebelum aplikasi material adhesif lalu dievaluasi dengan uji kuat rekat tarik mikro. Pembahasan: Peningkatan kuat rekat resin komposit-dentin pada uji kuat rekat Tarik mikro kelompok yang diberikan pra-perlakukan dentin dibandingkan tanpa pra-perlakuan karena senyawa flavonoid mengikat kolagen fibril agar tidak dapat terdegradasi oleh enzim MMPs. Lalu agen remineralisasi juga menginduksi mineral apatit baru yang meningkatkan kuat rekat dentin. Kesimpulan: Pengaruh pra-perlakuan dentin menggunakan berbagai senyawa flavonoid dan agen remineralisasi dapat meningkatkan kuat rekat resin komposit-dentin yang telah yang mengalami karies (caries affected dentin/CAD).
Analysis of Coagulation Profile and Possible Mechanism of Coagulation Activation in COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Mali Sheetal
Published: July 2024

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused a global health crisis with serious impacts that extending beyond the acute infection stage. This comprehensive review of literature looks at the mechanism of coagulation activation during COVID-19 as well as the examination of coagulation profile in infected patients. Prolonged prothrombin time (PT), higher D-Dimer, thrombocytopenia, and altered coagulation factors activity are indicators of hypercoagulability in severe cases. Long-term COVID-19 sequelae indicated persistent difficulties, such as psychological and physical disorders, that are revealed throughout the post-recovery phase. Multiple studies have shown a correlation between the severity of the disease and coagulation issues, highlighting the importance of a thorough coagulation profile investigations in COVID-19 patients after recovery. Mechanistically, the inflammatory response initiates a cytokine storm that activates monocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells. The viral spike protein interacts with the ACE2 receptors of endothelial cells, causing endothelial damage and activating procoagulant pathways. In addition, alterations in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) intensify vasoconstriction, inflammation, and pro coagulation. Recognizing these intricate biochemical processes, it is essential to predict and manage chronic consequences related to coagulation factors. In patients who have recovered, early examinations of coagulation parameters may help with early medications, which could prevent thrombotic incidents.
De remake als model van de filmgeschiedenis en middel voor filmgeschiedschrijving: een macrohistorische verkenning
Authors: Van den Vonder Kurt
Published: July 2024

A macro historical analysis of the remake in (American) film history shows not only that the history of the remake’ can serve as a model for film history in general but also that it is possible to study film history by means of the remake. First a definition of the concept of the remake will be given. It is then possible to make a quantitative analysis of the history of the remake based on the historical data compiled by Nowlan and Wright Nowlan. The resulting figures can be contextualized through Allen and Gomery's traditional approaches to film history. Especially aesthetic, economic and technological approaches are very insightful. This contextual analysis of the history of the remake clearly shows that the remake is not purely a filmeconomical phenomenon, but that the remake also meets requirements originating from other contextual factors of film history. What's more, a separate analysis of the remake during the silent film era shows that the remake concept is not monolithic but changes through different eras in film history.
Een asociale beeldschermgeneratie?: een empirisch onderzoek naar de rol van de media in de vrijetijdsbesteding van A.S.O.-jongeren tussen twaalf en veertien jaar
Authors: Van Aarle Pauline
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this research is to investigate whether we are dealing with an ‘anti-social screen-generation’. In the context of this investigation, the concept ‘anti-social’ refers to social isolation resulting from the fact that young people consider the electronic media as their ‘electronic friend’ and isolate themselves from their family and friends. There are two main questions: 1) Do young people spend all of their leisure time on electronic media or do they still have time for printed media? 2) Do young people prefer the company of the computer screen to human contact? The results show that the electronical media play an important role in the life of young people, and that printed media had to take a step back, which justifies the use of the term “screen-generation’. However ‘“today’s youngsters’ are not anti-social according to our definition: they prefer the company of people above that of machines. This study was conducted among 320 young people, boys and girls, between 12 and 14 years old.

Integrated/combined farming is a good way to optimize the use of resources and maximize income. Ruminant livestock is a type of other livestock types that plays an important role in sustainable agricultural systems because this type of livestock produces fertilizers and can utilize agricultural waste as fodder. Manure can be an alternative energy source for livestock farmers. An anaerobic digester will partially convert manure to energy in the form of biogas which contains methane. The main product of cassava crops is cassava. In this research, a toxic cassava which usually plant around pesantren. That could be used as food material. The cassava leaf could used as a source of silage production, and the silage quality is good until 60 days of storage. This silage was prepared for the drying season which at that time was difficult to find fresh feed. The cow dung is used as green manure fertilizer for cassava plants. The cow dung was fermented by an anaerobic bioreactor to achieve biogas and slurry. The biogas with methane as the main component is bioenergy that can used as a mantel lamp (Petromax) for lightening and a gas stove for cooking in Pesantren. The Slurry can able used as fertilizer and the eel cultivation.

The effect of neurotransmitters on the course of functional gastrointestinal disorders associated with emotional volitional disturbances caused by stress in children
Authors: Sliusar N.A. , Volosovets O.P. , Kryvopustov S.P. , Saltanova S.D.
Published: July 2024

Background. The medico-social significance of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) in children is due to their prevalence and impact on the quality of life of patients. According to the biopsychosocial model, FGID are heterogeneous diseases that arise as a result of a complex interaction of biological, psychoemotional, and psychosocial factors. Objective: based on the gene­ralization of available literature data, to highlight the influence of serotonin and melatonin neurotransmitters on the course of FGIR associated with emotional volitional disturbances caused by stress in children. Materials and methods. Modern domestic and international scientific literature on the influence of serotonin and melatonin on the course of FGIR associated with emotional volitional disturbances caused by stress in children was reviewed and analyzed. To search for literary sources, the Scopus, PubMed, ResearchGate, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar databases were studied for 2016–2024, a total of 98 sources. Results. Modern etiopathogenetic factors for the occurrence of FGIR in children are described, with the key components of their biopsychosocial model highligh­ted. The influence of stressors on the development of mental disorders in children with FGIR, in particular emotional and volitional changes, is considered. We have demonstrated the role of serotonin and melatonin in the regulation of mood, emotions, sleep, beha­vior, anxiety, depression, etc. The importance of these neurotransmitters in the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms in FGIR is highlighted with modern approaches to the management of children with FGIR associated with emotional volitional disturbances caused by stress being considered. A promising therapeutic direction is identified — the use of supplements of certain neurotransmitters (in particular, serotonin and melatonin) in children with this pathology. Conclusions. The analyzed literature data demonstrate the heterogeneity of FGIR in children and the importance of stressors in their development. Neurotransmitters play a significant role in the formation of the response to stress and the course of FGIR associated with emotional volitional disturbances caused by stress in children. Data on the effectiveness of serotonin and melatonin supplementation in children with FGIR are few, so there is a need for further research on this issue in order to improve the effectiveness of treatment and the quality of life of these patients.
Aberrant DNA methylation associated with the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease
Authors: Abaturov O.E. , Nikulina A.O. , Rusakova O.O.
Published: July 2024

The literature review deals with DNA methylation, a key epigenetic mechanism that controls the activity of gene transcription, plays a decisive role in the formation of genomic imprinting, gene silencing, X-chromosome inactivation, RNA splicing, DNA repair, cell differentiation and cell reprogramming, and also determines the occurrence and development of liver steatotic lesions and metabolic disorders. Methylation of DNA cytosine dinucleotide (CpG) can be represented in two types: de novo CpG methylation, which is carried out by 5mC DNA writers — DNA-(cytosine-5)-methyltransferase (DNMT) 3a and 3b, and suppor­ting DNA methylation, which is performed by DNMT1 during DNA replication. It has been found that the maintenance DNA methylation allows the preservation of the methylation pattern characteristic of progenitor cells in the cells of the new generation, and the DNA methylation of the gene body is associated with its increased expression. Active demethylation of 5mC is carried out by TET dioxygenases, including three enzymatic representatives: TET1, TET2 and TET3. It has been demonstrated that aberrant methylation of DNA nucleotides is directly related to the activity of lipid synthesis, the degree of oxidative stress, the development of liver steatosis, low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance, and the progression of liver fibrosis. The authors presented in detail the functions and features of DNA methyltransferases, erasers, and readers of 5mC sites; possible violations of the balance of activity of writers and erasers of 5mC DNA; DNA methylation landscape and patterns; clinical significance of DNA methylation signatures in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. Global hypomethylation of genome, at least 55 genes, is observed in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. The authors emphasize that the use of DNA methylation signatures is a promising direction for early diagnosis and prognosis of the course of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, while the study of molecular components of DNA methylation mechanisms involved in the regulation of gene expression, the dependence of their activity on exposure to the exposome will allow to persona­lize and improve recommendations for lifestyle and diet modification in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.

Saat ini subjek psikologi tengah menjadi isu yang sedang ramai dibincangkan dan dianggap penting bagi masyarakat. Hal tersebut menjadikan banyaknya karya sastra yang bermunculan dengan mengangkat isu psikologi. Dalam konsep psikologi, kehidupan manusia tidak terlepas dari pikiran bawah sadarnya. Bahkan, pikiran bawah sadar dianggap memiliki peran dalam perilaku seseorang. Dalam hal ini, dalam novel Aḍa‘tu Nafsī karya Marwān Ismā‘īl ditemukan adanya peristiwa pikiran bawah sadar yang terjadi pada tokoh utamanya. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengungkap pikiran bawah sadar tokoh utama novel Aḍa‘tu Nafsī karya Marwān Ismā‘īl dalam ketidaksadarannya berupa keadaan koma. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori psikoanalisis Sigmund Freud dan teori struktural sebagai teori bantu. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tokoh utama pada novel tersebut adalah Aḥmad Faḥmī yang merupakan seorang mahasiswa yang mengalami kecelakaan dan mengharuskannya melewati keadaan koma. Dalam keadaan tersebut, muncul pikiran bawah sadar yang terjadi tidak lepas sebagai akibat dari konflik yang terjadi pada dirinya sendiri ketika dalam kesadarannya. Peristiwa pikiran bawah sadar Aḥmad dalam keadaan koma condong mengikuti idnya sehingga memunculkan pikiran bawah sadar berupa: perasaan bersalah, kecemasan terhadap masa depan, dan hasrat seksual yang terpendam. Adapun bentuk mekanisme pertahanan yang dilakukan Aḥmad, yaitu berupa pengalihan, substitusi (pergantian), dan represi yang paling dominan. Dengan demikian, peristiwa yang muncul pada pikiran bawah sadar tokoh utama merupakan pengaruh dari segala perasaan yang dipendam ketika sadar.

Regulación energética y consumo industrial en Argentina, 2002-2011
Authors: Serrani Esteban , Navarro Rocha Leandro
Published: July 2024

La literatura especializada ha discutido sobre los condicionantes necesarios para lograr el desarrollo económico: el rol de los entramados institucionales, la puesta en marcha de un Estado emprendedor y los sistemas nacionales de innovación o las políticas industriales y la creación de mercados. Menos atención ha recibido el lugar ocupado por la energía y su relación con el desempeño de las empresas industriales. Este trabajo analiza los vínculos entre el sistema energético y la política industrial en Argentina, al tiempo que muestra que la segmentación del mercado implementada llevó a que la industria pague la energía más cara que los usuarios residenciales, aunque muy por debajo del costo pleno, resultando en una transferencia de ingresos fiscales hacia las empresas industriales.

Published: July 2024

Abstract: With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technologies, modern vehicles are increasingly adopting network-controlled functionalities, exposing them to a variety of cyber threats. To address these security challenges, this paper implements and evaluates a novel ensemble Intrusion Detection System (IDS) framework, named Leader Class and Confidence Decision Ensemble (LCCDE). The LCCDE framework integrates three advanced Machine Learning (ML) algorithms—XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost—to detect various types of cyber-attacks on both intra-vehicle and external vehicular networks.This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the LCCDE framework using two public IoV security datasets: the Car-Hacking dataset and the CICIDS2017 dataset. By identifying the best-performing ML model for each class of attacks and leveraging prediction confidence values, LCCDE achieves high detection accuracy and robustness against diverse attack types. The experimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms traditional IDS approaches in terms of detection accuracy, computational efficiency, and adaptability to different types of cyber-attacks. This paper provides practical insights into the implementation and deployment of IDS in IoV systems, highlighting the potential of ensemble learning methods to enhance vehicular network security.
