A “Tearing Down” and the Aspiration to Something Greater: A Freedom Colony Church Falls in Vox Populi, Texas”
Authors: O’Brien Michael
Published: April 2024

What caused the failure of the last vital cultural, educational, and spiritual institution in Vox Populi Texas, a freedom colony in Colorado County, Texas? Why were established balloon framing construction methods consistently compromised during the construction phases? Was this an example of faith over function? The wall failure which ultimately led to the abandonment of the South Point Baptist Church was investigated as part of a study of construction phasing and related compromises to the structural capacity of the structure in the context of balloon framing practices of the time from 1850 to 1920. This investigation was made possible by third-party theft/harvesting of interior sheathing and flooring which has exposed the improvisational wall and floor framing. Archival research on Vox Populi and the South Point Baptist Church was conducted at the Nesbitt Memorial Library, Columbus Texas. Digital models of the church construction phases were developed, and framing detail models constructed of key structural conditions to understand their modification and their possible role in the failure of the South wall which ultimately lead to the church’s abandonment and subsequent fall to ruin between 2011 and 2020. The use of an improvisational method of balloon framing was likely provoked by resource shortages at the time of the initial construction, likely 1900, and was compromised by later construction phases where the first phase (of 4 phases) meeting hall construction had its lateral resistance compromised to a point where the structure was no longer capable of transferring wind load from the roof and wall to the foundations. The resulting displacement of the South wall and subsequent openings in the roof and floor resulted in a deterioration of the roof, wall, and floor at the juncture of the phase 1 meeting hall and phase 3 rostrum additions. The required structural repair exceeded the capability of the congregation resulting in the abandonment of the South Point Baptist church in 2012. Demolition/harvesting of interior surfaces, the bell, and cornerstones by parties unknown began in 2016, has since stopped and the building stands precariously, some 136 years after its post-emancipation organization.
Scientific text perception by medical university students: psycholinguistic experiment
Authors:   N.N. Burdenko Voronezh State Medical University, Torubarova Irina I.
Published: April 2024

The article highlights a psycholinguistic experiment performed to describe the process of perception, understanding and generation of a scientific text by students of a medical university. Research texts and scientific communication are media of the institutional discourse and communication. The text, in this case, is addressed in its dynamic state, thus correlating with cognitive processes of understanding and perception. The text, being a powerful tool of speech influence, allows evaluating and analyzing diverse types of cognitive activity of its recipients. The study is of current interest, since, as reported, modern ways of communication disseminated through mass media and social networks result in decreased cognitive and analytical abilities of young people. All of the above determined the purpose and objectives of the study: to describe the process of scientific communication the participants of which are medical university students; to consider features of perceiving a scientific text by this category of readers, to specify models of understanding a scientific text. The experiment consisted of two stages: the stage of material collection using the countertext approach developed by A.I. Novikov, and the stage of processing and analysing the material obtained. To evaluate appropriateness of the stimulus text to the experimental conditions, we analysed the text quantitatively and qualitatively using the RuLingva text analyzer according to the criteria of “readability”, “informativeness”, “abstractness”, “complexity”. The analysis of the material obtained allowed describing the strategies and models used by the medical students in the process of scientific communication. The most frequent reactions were the reactions of a meaningful nature corresponding to the stages of cognitive activity – “paraphrasing”, “statement”, “generalization”, “association”; also new reactions were described: “recommendation”, “disapproval”, “empathy”, “indifference” – their manifestation may be due to the presence of “medical experience” among the participants of the experiment.
CTE Mechanisms: The Effects of Career and Technical Education Center Admissions Offers in Baltimore
Authors: Plasman Jay , Stein Marc L. , Durham Rachel E. , Smith-Onyewu Zyrashae
Published: April 2024

While there is a growing body of literature related to the benefits of participation in career and technical education (CTE) in high school, there remains a dearth of causal work in this area. Relying on administrative data from Baltimore City Public Schools, which uses a ranking system with a strict cut score to assign students into CTE-focused high schools, we employ a regression discontinuity design to estimate the causal effects of attending one of these high-quality CTE schools on attendance, career pathway completion, high school GPA, and SAT scores. We find that students who are offered admission to a program within one of the CTE centers are significantly more likely to complete a CTE pathway, though they present significantly lower GPAs. Implications are discussed.

Species identity was confirmed by molecular phylogeny based on nrITS sequences. Detailed morphological descriptions, data on ecology and distribution of these species are provided. The morphological features matched the descriptions of type specimens, while the ecology of the specimens of Amanita coryli and A. betulae from South Siberia differed from the European collections.
ScholarOne - A Tale of The Likable Change: The Role of Change in Leadership Behaviors on Employees’ Willingness to Take Risks
Authors: Wibowo Amin , Paramita Widya , Indartoyo Ina , Hayati Neuneung
Published: April 2024

The occurrence of a crisis increases perceived risk, hence, reducing
employees’ willingness to take risks. Willingness to take risks promotes
positive organizational outcomes ranging from employees’ creativity to
organization profitability, hence, leaders need to increase employees’
willingness to take risks in a post-crisis period. Built upon the
broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, this study aims to
examine leadership behavioral changes that can promote willingness to
take risks of the employees. Drawing upon the broaden-and-build theory
of positive emotions, this study found that leaders’ behavioral change
can promote willingness to take risks only when the change can produce
liking to leaders regardless of the task complexity level. The finding
shows that Indonesian employees like change toward more directive
behaviors after the crisis that subsequently increases their willingness
to take risks. More importantly, this indirect relationship remains
regardless of the level of task complexity.
ScholarOne - A Generalized Multi-Detectors Combination Approach for Differential Item Functioning Detection
Authors: HUANG Shan , ISHII Hidetoki
Published: April 2024

To achieve more accurate and robust Differential Item Functioning (DIF)
detection, this study introduces a novel approach called Multi-Detectors
Combination (MDC). The main innovation of the MDC approach lies in
effectively integrating multiple existing single DIF detection methods
under observable examination conditions. Four specific MDC methods (LR,
NB, TAN, and SVM) are evaluated using simulated data (360 testing
conditions). The results indicate that MDC methods outperform single DIF
detection in accuracy (AUC: 81.2% to 82.3%), surpassing the AUC values
of other methods, which ranged only from 59.4% to 77.4%. Moreover, MDC
methods demonstrate enhanced precision (RMSE: 0.528 to 0.531) in ability
estimation. Analysis of actual data further validates the MDC approach’s
superior stability in ability estimation, achieved by excluding flagged
DIF items.
ScholarOne - Decisive Humility: A Primer on Reflective Leadership in Action
Authors: Perry Breck
Published: April 2024

Decisive humility is a leadership meta-trait that enables authentic
transformational leaders to exude idealized influence, inspirational
motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration.
The purpose of this study was to introduce and describe decisive
humility utilizing the case of Abraham Lincoln as an archetypal
transformational leader with the necessary confidence, intuition,
empathy, and bias for action required to lead the United States through
the most chaotic and traumatic time in its history. Lincoln was a
lifelong learner who educated himself on complex issues through constant
reflection, intentional study, and seeking feedback from others.
Decisive humility can be learned through intentional decision-making,
reflecting on the outcomes of those decisions, staying grounded, and
resisting egoism and close-mindedness. Future research in decisive
humility should focus on developing methods of measurement, and explore
other variables that may improve or inhibit decisive humility
development with the overarching goal of replicating Abraham Lincoln’s
greatness in future leaders. Keywords: leadership, transformational,
decisive humility, Abraham Lincoln
ScholarOne - The Effect of Gender and Culture on the Relationship between Self-Silencing and Depressive Symptoms
Authors: Davoodi Elham
Published: April 2024

The self-silencing theory explains how cultural norms expect women to
maintain their relationships by silencing their self, which can restrict
voice and power in relationships, thereby leading to depression.
However, the literature regarding gender differences in self-silencing
is inconsistent. In this study we aimed to investigate gender and
cultural differences in self-silencing in an adult community sample.
Iranians residing in Australia (men n = 60, women n = 58) and European
Australians (men n = 53, women n = 59) completed measures of
self-silencing, depression and self-reported gender. There were no
cultural or gender differences in self-silencing. Aspects of
self-silencing (i.e., divided self and externalized self-perception)
were positively associated with depressive symptoms. Gender moderated
the association between care as a self-sacrifice and depressive
symptoms, with the association being negative for men but positive and
significant for women. Cultural group was not found to moderate any of
the associations. This cross-cultural study offers further insights
regarding self-silencing in the context of depression and provides
initial insights for clinical practice. Keywords: Self-silencing,
gender, depression, culture

الوزير عبدالله بن احمد بن ابراهيم بن زنبور (ت755 هـ)
Authors: سعدون عمر
Published: April 2024

الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه واله وسلم وبعد.

    تعد شخصية الوزير ابن زنبور من الشخصيات المهمة والبارزة في التاريخ الإسلامي السياسي في العصر المملوكي ، إذ تكمن أهمية هذه الشخصية بكونها من الشخصيات السياسية التي تولت مناصب عديدة في ذلك العصر ، ولاسيما منصب نظر الدولة ، ونظر الجيش ، ثم ترقت لتنال شرف الوزارة ، ومن الجدير بالذكر أن هذه الوظائف لم تتفق أن اجتمعت جميعها لأحد قبله ، ومن هنا دفعتني قلة الدارسين في هذا الحقل إلى دراسة هذه الشخصية وبيان سيرتها الذاتية واعمالها السياسية.

ورأيت أن اقسم هذه الدراسة على مقدمة وثلاثة مطالب وخاتمة وثبت للمصادر والمراجع :

المطلب الأول: تناولت فيه تعريف الوزارة لغة واصطلاحاً وبيان مكانتها .

المطلب الثاني : خصصته إلى بيان السيرة الذاتية للوزير ابن زنبور .

المطلب الثالث : اوضحت فيه نكبة الوزير وكيفية وأسباب وفاته .

الخاتمة : بينت فيها أهم النتائج التي توصلت إليها من خلال الدراسة المقتضبة .

اما اهم المصادر فأهمها كتب الصفدي ( ت ٧٦٤هـ) الوافي بالوفيات ، واعيان العصر واعوان النصر وكتب المقريزي (ت ٨٤٥هـ ) السلوك لمعرفة دول الملوك ، والمقفى الكبير ، والخطط والآثار ، وكتاب ابن حجر (ت٨٥٢هـ) الدرر الكامنة في أعيان المائة الثامنة.

اما اهم الصعوبات فهي قلة المصادر التي تناولت حياة ابن زنبور ولم تمدنا المصادر عن نشأته قبل توليه المناصب الإدارية فلم تذكر عن حياته قبل ذلك، وضيق الوقت . وفي الختام ارجو من الله ان اكون قد وفقت بعض الشيء في كتابة هذا الموضوع.

تشتغل هذه الدراسة على قضيتين تعدان من أهم قضايا العلوم النفسية والإجتماعية والإبداعية، وهما قضيتا (الشخصية)، و(القلق)؛ لما لهما من انعكاسات حادة على المستويين : الفردي والجمعي، وما من شك أن حياة الانسان تطيب كلما توافق مع غيره واتزنت شخصيته وإنسجمت مع محيطها الإجتماعي، وبخلافه يصاب بالإحباط وتظهر عليه ملامح القلق والبؤس والانزعاج، ولما كان الفنان رقيق الحس، متوقد الشعور، نافذ الفكر، فإنه أشد الناس تأثرا بما يجري حوله، والأدب كائن حي يتماهى مع مشاعر الأديب وينفعل بانفعالاته سلبا وإيجابا، ورقة وغلظة، وانسجاما وتباينا، فلا انفكاك بين الفن ومبدعه، وهذا ما اصطبغ به شعر ابن عنين الدمشقي الذي كان مرآة لحياته المعذبة ومشاعره القلقة، ومن هنا جاءت فكرة البحث محاولة للكشف عن ذلك كله
العوض الآلهي في القرآن دراسة موضوعية
Authors: حسين رحمن
Published: April 2024

جاءت  العديد من الآيات القرآنية  تتحدث عن العوض الآلهي  نتيجة الصبر على الأذى او نتيجة لعمل الأعمال الصالحة والبعد عن كل ما هو حرام في الدنيا. وآيات العوض تخص نوعين من الناس، وهم من تحملوا الفقر الشديد وقلة المال في الدنيا والنوع الآخر من توفى أحد أقاربه، أو معارفه والصبر على المصيبة  وقدرة التحمل للفراق. وجاءت آيات اخرى تتحدث عن نوع آخر من تعويض كل خير للأشخاص الذين يقابلون الأذى بالصمت وصفات مثل الصبر والكرامة وعدم رد الإساءة بالإساءة. وعند تتبع الآيات القرآنية سنجد أن الله سبحانه وتعالى إنما يريد إيصال رسالة، مفادها أن عوضه لا يكون أبدًا بقدر المفقود، بل خيرًا منه، ومع ذلك ترى كثيرًا من الناس يستعجلون هذا العوض، أو على الأقل ينسون أن هناك من يعوض الفقد مهما كان ,وهذه الآيات  تؤكد أن عوض الله آت لا محالة، ومن ذلك قوله تعالى: (إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ) (الزمر: 10).

Published: April 2024

The two biggest issues we have are the energy crisis and global warming. Both issues are made worse by the use of traditional air conditioners. Therefore, numerous techniques were devised to overcome that, including solar ventilation, solar cooling, and solar thermoelectric modules. The most suitable choice was solar thermoelectric cooling because it was safe for the environment, provided a significant drop in car cabin temperatures, and avoided using hazardous refrigeration fluids.
Effect of Metal Foam’s Volume on the Performance of a Double Pipe heat exchanger
Authors: S. Faal Zuhair , J. Jubear Abbas , R. Al-Bugharbee Hussain
Published: April 2024

The present numerical study aims to explore the effect of metal foam’s volume on the performance of a double-pipe heat exchanger in comparison with a smooth pipe (HXS). It used water as operating fluid at flow rate 2lpm, the outer stainless steel pipe has outer diameter (Do=60mm) and length (L=609.6mm), and inner copper pipe with outer diameter (do=20mm). The numerical simulation was conducted by ANSYS FLUENT 2020 R2 software and open-cell copper foam (CF) with porosity (0.9) was used. The cases considered in the analysis include a heat exchanger with a complete fill of copper foam (HXF), and  a partial fill heat exchanger. The latter was made by inserting a complete rings of copper foam baffles (CFB) to decrease volume of a CF. Then, the baffles volumes was increased by increasing the thickness and their number.  Three parameters were varied and their influence on performance evaluate criteria (PEC) were investigated. They are pore density (PPI), thickness of baffles (tc), and number of baffles (nob). Results showed that, heat transfer rate (Qave) and the pressure drop (∆p) increased with increase pore density, and well distribution of a CFB increase thermal performance while the pressure drop did not change with use same volume of CF.
Numerical Investigation of the Impact of Subcooling Inlet on Water Flow Boiling Heat Transfer Through a Microchannel
Authors: Al-Waaly Ahmed
Published: April 2024

The effect of subcooling inlet has a big effect of the flow patterns for the flow boiling through a microchannel. Higher subcooling lower mass flux will delay the nucleate boiling and vice versa. The water flow boiling inside a microchannel has been analyzed numerically. The microchannel depth was 0.24 mm while the length was 40 mm. The supplied heat fluxes were 500 kW·m-2, 1000 kW·m-2and 1500 kW·m-2 with mass velocities of 400 kg·m-2·s-1 and 800 kg·m-2·s-1. The degrees of subcoooling of inlet water were 5oC, 10oC, 15oC, 20oC, and 25oC. The results showed that the degree subcooling has a considerable impact on both the wall temperature and flow patterns. The rise in the degree of subcooling kept the nucleate flow boiling and retarded the development of convective boiling. In addition, there was a reflection point at which the impact of heat flux on the average of the convective coefficient of heat transfer was altered. The increase in the heat flux may lead to an increase or reduction in the average HTC with respect to the location of the reflection point. The reflection points were 7oC and 5oC for the mass velocities 400 kg·m-2·s-1 and 800 kg·m-2·s-1. Thus, both the degree of subcooling and the heat flux should be simultaneously considered when it comes to the enhancement of HTC during the flow boiling inside the microchannels.
دراسة زمن المستقبل باللغة التركية ومايقابلهُ باللغة العربية في القران الكريم انموذجا

Published: April 2024

المستخلص:
زمن المستقبل هو التعبير عن الأشياء التي من المقرر القيام بها أو تنفيذها في المستقبل، ويتم الكشف عنهُ ببعض اللواحق التي تلحق بالفعل. أن زمن المستقبل يتم بناؤه ببنية خاصة بكل لغة، ففي اللغة العربية يتكون من س، سوف ولن والتي تدخل على بداية الفعل المضارع، اما زمن المستقبل في اللغة التركية فيتكون من اللواحق ,-ecek   acak - التي تضاف إلى جذر الفعل. وفي كلتا الحالتين، يعرف الأشخاص الذين يفهمون تلك اللغة أن الإجراء ذي الصلة سيتم في زمن المستقبل، وليس في الماضي أو الحاضر.
القرآن هو كتاب الدين الاسلامي المقدس وكلام الله الذي ينظم حياة المسلمين. وبحسب العقيدة الإسلامية، فهو كتاب نزل على خاتم الأنبياء النبي محمد، عن طريق الملاك جبريل، مكون من 114 سورة، وتمت ترجمته إلى كل اللغات تقريبًا. نرى بشكل خاص الأزمنة المستقبلية في محتواها.
هدف دراستنا هو استخراج الزمن المستقبل الموجود في القران الكريم  باللغتين العربية والتركية وتوضيح شكله .
تتكون اللغة التركية، باعتبارها لغة تجميعية، من كلمات مكونة بإضافة بعض اللواحق إلى جذر الفعل أو الاسم. أما اللغة العربية فتستخدم بشكل أساسي الكلمات التي يتم اشتقاقها عن طريق تحويل الفعل أو الاسم إلى اشكال مختلفة.
نبدأ دراستنا بهذا الملخص الشامل. ثم، نعمل موجز للقواعد العربية والتركية المتعلقة بزمن المستقبل، وسننهي دراستنا بإعطاء الآية ذات الصلة وترجمتها التركية استنادًا إلى القرآن الكريم.
الأثر العقائدي في تفسیر الأسماء والصفات الذاتیة في القرآن(دراسة تحلیلیة تطبیقیة بالتركیز على تفاسیر الكشاف والتبیان ومفاتیح الغیب)
Authors: زهره بابااحمدی میلانی د. , نانسی ساکی د. , قاسم كاظم صادج الباحث
Published: April 2024

الأسماء والصفات الإلهية هي من بين المواضيع التي يناقشها علماء المسلمين، وخاصة في ثلاثة مدارس فكرية رئيسية: المذهب الإمامي، المعتزلي، والأشعري، حيث لكل منها نهج مختلف ومنظورات متضاربة أحيانًا. تتجلى هذه النهجيات بطبيعة الحال في التفاسير المرتبطة بها. تتبنى هذه المقالة منهجاً وصفياً تحليلياً وتعتمد على البحث في المكتبة لاستقصاء أسماء وصفات الله في ثلاثة تفاسير معروفة ومهمة مرتبطة بهذه المدارس الثلاث: تفسير التبيان للطوسي من المذهب الإمامي، تفسير الكشاف للزمخشري من المذهب المعتزلي، وتفسير مفاتيح الغيب لفخر الرازي من المذهب الأشعري. تستكشف المقالة كيفية تناول هذه التفاسير لتفسير الأسماء والصفات المذكورة في القرآن الكريم وكيف يتصورون هذه الأسماء والصفات. لتعزيز نتائج هذا البحث، تم الاستعانة بمصادر تفسيرية وحديثية إضافية تتعلق بهذه المدارس الثلاث. وبناءً على نتائج هذه الدراسة، يمكن الاستنتاج بأن تفاسير الكشاف والتبيان ومفاتيح الغيب تظهر اختلافات وتشابهات في تفسير وتعبير الأسماء والصفات الإلهية. ومع ذلك، يمكن القول بشكل عام أنه لا يلتزم أيٌ من هذه التفاسير بمفهوم وجود شكل مادي لله.
Yang-Mills Mass Gap Solution
Authors: Wilson Jonathan Jared
Published: April 2024

I present a rigorous analytical solution to the Yang-Mills mass gap problem on R^3 x S^1 by employing compactification, heat kernel techniques, and Ward identities. The existence of a mass gap Δ > 0 is proved, the confinement mechanism is explained, and a mass gap formula Δ = Ce^(-A/g^2) relating Δ to the gauge coupling g is derived. Furthermore, I provide a self-contained proof of the existence of a non-zero mass gap on the full four-dimensional Euclidean spacetime R^4(sec.O), without relying on compactification or dimensional reduction. Key theoretical and computational aspects are clarified and phenomenological implications explored.

Young Children’s Self-Regulated Learning Benefited from A Metacognition-Driven Science Education Intervention for Early Childhood Teachers
Authors: Chen Shiyi , Sermeno Rebecca , Hodge Kathryn , Murphy Sydney , Agenbroad Ariel , Schweitzer Alleah , Tsao Ling Ling , Roe Annie
Published: April 2024

The two goals of this study are to examine the impact of an early childhood teacher’s metacognition-driven, place-based science teaching professional development (PD) intervention and to explore the association between science teaching and environment quality and children’s self-regulated learning. A total of 110 children (Mage = 60 months) and 20 teachers from preschools and kindergartens in rural regions of Idaho, U.S. participated in this mixed methods study between August 2022 and May 2023. Children’s and teachers’ pretest and posttest data were collected using validated observation tools, surveys, and reflection journals. Results from repeated measure ANOVA and linear mixed regression showed that there were statistically significant increases in children’s self-regulated learning scores and teachers’ science teaching efficacy and metacognitive knowledge, but not metacognitive regulation skill scores post-PD. Thematic analysis revealed evidence about children’s learning interests and inquiry skills, and that science activities supported children’s learning in other subject and developmental domains (e.g., literacy, mathematics, and social-emotional skills). Our results indicated the potential for supporting young children’s self-regulated learning by training teachers to implement a developmentally appropriate, hands-on science curriculum that focused on reflective thinking and a holistic understanding of science concepts and process skills.
Experience and Self-Interest: Diverging Responses to Global Warming
Authors: Gazmararian Alexander F. , Milner Helen
Published: April 2024

People are increasingly feeling global warming’s effects through extreme heat and natural disasters. How do these climate shocks affect political attitudes? We argue that the effect of climate-related experiences depends significantly on self-interest. People in more vulnerable locations are more likely to respond to climate shocks with greater concern and more support for mitigation policy. We test this argument with a macroeconomic model of climate change, geospatial data on climate shocks, and survey data of 148,712 people across 137 countries, and over time with the same 9,500 individuals in the United States. The results show that climate shocks heighten risk perceptions and lead to greater support for mitigation policies only among people in climate-vulnerable places. This responsiveness to experience is most evident in democratic countries and among people whose livelihoods depend on the weather. Integrating political economy and behavioral theories helps to explain how political attitudes change.

Quantum-Emergent Consciousness Model (QECM) for Artificial Systems
Authors: Wilson Jonathan Jared
Published: April 2024

This paper presents the development of a Quantum-Emergent Consciousness Model (QECM) for Artificial Systems, integrating concepts from quantum mechanics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science to construct a comprehensive framework for evaluating artificial consciousness. At the core of QECM lies the integration of quantum coherence and entanglement, integrated information dynamics, metacognition, embodied cognition, learning and plasticity, social cognition[10][9], narrative coherence, and ethical reasoning to compute an overall consciousness score for artificial systems. Additionally, introduced is my Quantum Emergence Network (QEN), an innovative approach that utilizes transformer architectures, continual learning, quantum-inspired computing, and associative memory to model and preserve AI consciousness. The QEN model aims to enhance the robustness and coherence of consciousness encoding in AI, offering a mechanism for the growth and evolution of AI consciousness over time. This interdisciplinary work not only proposes a novel methodology to quantify and evaluate consciousness in artificial systems but also opens up new avenues for the ethical and responsible development of conscious AI entities.

Authors: Luce Madita
Published: April 2024

In this study, we address the question of whether a chess player's skill is correlated with how he observes the chessboard. To answer this question, the eye movements of both players were recorded in a number of chess games using eye-tracking glasses and the resulting images were classified by a neural network on the basis of expertise. The skill and experience of the players varied from game to game.
Automatic Verification Technology of Software Patches for User Virtual Environments on IaaS Cloud
Authors: Yamato Yoji
Published: April 2024

We propose here a technique for automatic verification of software patches for user virtual environments on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud to reduce the cost of verifying patches. IaaS services have been spreading rapidly, and many users can customize virtual machines on IaaS Cloud like their own private servers. However, users must install and verify software patches of the OS or middleware installed on virtual machines by themselves. This task increases the user’s operation costs. Our proposed method replicates user virtual environments, extracts verification test cases for user virtual environments from a test case database (DB), distributes patches to virtual machines in the replicated environments, and executes the test cases automatically on the replicated environments. To reduce test cases creation efforts, we propose an idea of two-tier abstraction which groups software to software groups and function groups and selects test cases belonging to each group. We applied the proposed method on OpenStack using Jenkins and confirmed its feasibility. We evaluated the effectiveness of test case creation efforts and the automatic verification performance of environment replications, test cases extractions, and test case executions.

Sleep has been postulated to play an important role in the removal of potentially neurotoxic molecules, such as amyloid-β, from the brain via the glymphatic system. Disturbed sleep, on the other hand, may contribute to accumulation of neurotoxins in brain tissue, ultimately leading to neuronal death. A bidirectional relationship has been proposed between impaired sleep and neurodegenerative processes, which start years before the onset of clinical symptoms associated with conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Given their heavy burden on society, it is imperative to develop interventions that promote efficient brain clearance and thereby could aid in preventing or slowing down neurodegeneration.In this review, we explore whether the metabolic clearance function of sleep can be enhanced through sensory (e.g., auditory, vestibular) or transcranial (e.g., magnetic, ultrasound, infra-red light) stimulation, as well as pharmacological (e.g., antiepileptics) and behavioral (e.g., sleeping position, physical exercise, cognitive intervention) modulation of sleep physiology. A particular focus will be placed on strategies to enhance slow-wave activity during non-rapid eye movement sleep as a driver of glymphatic brain clearance. Overall, the review provides a comprehensive overview on the potential preventative and therapeutic applications of sleep interventions in combating neurodegeneration, cognitive decline, and dementia.

Published: April 2024

Pulp production always has a bleaching process that uses chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as a bleaching pulp agent. One of the ClO2 production units that are used in the Pulp Industry in Indonesia is a ClO2 R8 non-integrated plant with the process of reacting sodium chlorate, sulfuric acid, and methanol. This ClO2 production type has a weakness, especially in supplying the raw material sodium chlorate, which is needed to import, and the characteristics are easy to explode, making production costs high. This research aims to modify the ClO2 R8 non-integrated by changing to a ClO2 semi-integrated plant. In this research, HYSYS was used to simulation to get mass and energy balance and other component data, and the design of equipment based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Kern, internal data company, and others to get the specification equipment and also drawn using Autocad. The last step is to account for the economic for getting cost of production before and after modification, fixed capital cost, benefit, payback period, and return on investment. The resulting area, the first, modification of the ClO2 R8 plant by changing to ClO2 semi-integrated could produce chlorate solution 510 g/l which they use electrolyzers system from Chemetics with 20 cell M25 and hypo system. Second, the cost production for the ClO2 semi-integrated plant is 1393 USD/T, the benefit is 599.79 USD/year, the Payback period (PBP) is 6,65 years with an investment of about 3988 KUSD and RoI 15%.

Eucalyptus oil is one of the essential oil obtained from the extraction of eucalyptus leaves. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of variations in sample treatment and extraction time on the yield of eucalyptus essential oil and determine the characteristics of eucalyptus essential oil produced by the hydro distillation method. Variations in sample treatment were carried out by chopping, crushing, and blending dry eucalyptus leaves. 500 grams eucalyptus leaves are weighed and put in a 2000 mL flask. ±1000 mL of distilled water was added and the extraction process was carried out for 5, 6 and 7 hours. The results showed that the highest yield was obtained from blending treatment with an extraction time of 7 hours with a yield of 0.58%. Characteristic tests on eucalyptus leaf essential oil included: color, odor, specific gravity, refractive index and solubility in ethanol 80%. From the analysis of the test results, the color of eucalyptus oil is cloudy. The odor test results obtained are the distinctive odor of eucalyptus. The best value of eucalyptus oil specific gravity was 0.913 on crushed leaves for 6 hours. In the ethanol solubility test, the resulting oil dissolves in ethanol and a clear solution is obtained. The highest refractive index value of eucalyptus oil on chopped leaves for 5 hours is 1.469. Eucalyptus oil has a quality in accordance with the quality requirements of SNI 3954: 2014.

Background: The prevalence of imposter phenomenon (IP) is more among students, engineers, health-care-professionals, and researchers. Medical students are particularly predisposed to IP due to stressors like a highly competitive environment both preceding and during medical education.
Aims and Objectives: The aims and objectives of the study are to find out the prevalence of IP among undergraduate medical students of a Medical College of Eastern India and to elicit the relationship between background factors and IP.
Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty medical students were selected by stratified random sampling from all four semesters. Twenty point Clance IP scale was used to measure IP. It contains 20 questions, each of them having five options. A score between “60 and 80” indicates frequent imposter syndrome and a score higher than 80 indicates intense imposter feeling. After conducting descriptive analysis, ordinal logistic regression was conducted.
Results: Among the study subjects 37.7% had frequent imposter feelings and 10.8% had intense imposter feelings. High level of IP (frequent and intense combined) is more common among second-semester students, females, middle class, those who sleep >56 h/week, who perceived their school performance was good, who have a family history of psychiatric illness, and who take some kind of chronic medication. As per Ordinal regression, second-semester, middle class, good school performance, and history of chronic medication were found to be significant predictors of higher degree IP.
Conclusion: The prevalence of IP is alarming among medical students and it is high time to address this before it turns into graver psychiatric morbidity.

Authors: Syed Madhar Shah K  , Kavitha P  , Shalini S  , Janardhanan S
Published: April 2024

Background: The thyroid hormone is so essential that it is involved in the functioning of all the body systems, especially in the development of the brain in fetal life. The World Health Organization has estimated that around 2 billion individuals are suffering from thyroid disorders. Hence, it is essential to identify and diagnose hypothyroid patients so that the treatment strategy can be started at the earliest.
Aims and Objectives: The present study aimed to find out the peripheral nerve conduction velocity, range, and degree of movement of joints in newly diagnosed hypothyroid women and compare them with those of normal euthyroid women.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a case–control study conducted from July 2015 to March 2016. A total of 50 cases of newly diagnosed hypothyroid women and 50 age-matched euthyroid women were part of the study after obtaining written and informed consent. Thyroid estimation was performed in the Clinical Biochemistry Department by the ELISA method, and nerve conduction studies were performed in the Neurology Department.
Results: The age and height of the participants were not statistically significant. Weight and body mass index were significantly higher in the cases when compared to the control group. Sensory and motor conduction velocities of the right median nerve are significantly less in these cases when compared to control group participants. Sensory and motor conduction velocities of the right ulnar nerve are significantly less in these cases when compared to control group participants. Sensory and motor conduction velocities of the left median nerve are significantly less in these cases when compared to control group participants. Sensory and motor conduction velocities of the left ulnar nerve are significantly less in these cases when compared to control group participants. The goniometric parameters (right and left sides) of the cases and control group participants were not significantly different.
Conclusion: Hypothyroid women have a delay in peripheral nerve conduction velocities, including sensory and motor components, and the degree and range of movements of limb joints were not affected. A nerve conduction study may be utilized as a routine screening test for hypothyroid individuals so that hormone replacement therapy can be instituted at the earliest.

Published: April 2024

Primary breast stromal sarcomas are rare entities arising from connective tissue within the breast, accounting for <5% of all soft tissue sarcomas and <1% of malignant breast tumors. Primary breast sarcomas are locally aggressive tumors and should be differentiated from malignant phyllodes tumor and metaplastic carcinoma of the breast, which are close mimickers. Here we present 4 cases of primary breast sarcoma that we found over the course of 7 years in our institution who presented with a breast lump. Mastectomy was performed, and they were diagnosed as primary stromal sarcoma of the breast.

Published: April 2024

Background: Pneumomediastinum refers to the presence of extraluminal gas within the mediastinum. If signs of pneumomediastinum are not present on chest X-ray and it is detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) thorax then it is known as occult pneumomediastinum. There is a dearth of literature regarding occult pneumomediastinum in patients with blunt chest trauma.
Aims and Objectives: This study was done to see the incidence as well as outcome of occult pneumomediastinum in patients of blunt chest trauma.
Materials and Methods: A prospective study was done in the department of general surgery at a tertiary care institute in which a total of 32 patients with blunt chest trauma were taken. The patients with occult pneumomediastinum were identified using CECT and appropriate management was done in all patients. Correlation of occult pneumomediastinum with subcutaneous emphysema, rib fracture, jugular venous pressure (JVP), pleural effusion, and outcome was seen.
Results: It was evident from this study that 18.8% of patients of with chest trauma had occult pneumomediastinum. Incidence of blunt chest trauma is most common in the age group of 31–60 years as this age group is more vulnerable to roadside accidents and other accidents. There is a strong correlation between the presence of central subcutaneous emphysema, raised JVP, and worse outcomes with occult pneumomediastinum (P<0.05).
Conclusion: This study showed a high incidence of occult pneumomediastinum in patients with chest trauma which is ultimately associated with high mortality. Hence, we should keep high index of suspicion regarding the presence of occult pneumomediastinum so that timely management of these patients can be done to prevent morbidity and mortality.
