Ineffective endometrial matrix remodeling, a key factor in infertility, impedes embryo implantation in the uterine wall. Our study reveals the cellular and molecular impact of human collagenase-1 administration in mouse uteri, demonstrating enhanced embryo implantation rates. Collagenase-1 promotes remodeling of the endometrial ECM, degrading collagen fibers and proteoglycans. This process releases matrix-bound bioactive factors (e.g., VEGF, decorin), facilitating vascular permeability and angiogenesis. Collagenase-1 elevates embryo implantation regulators, including NK cell infiltration and the key cytokine LIF. Remarkably, uterine tissue maintains structural integrity despite reduced endometrial collagen fiber tension. In-utero collagenase-1 application rescues implantation in heat stress and embryo transfer models, known for low implantation rates. Importantly, ex vivo exposure of human uterine tissue to collagenase-1 induces collagen de-tensioning and VEGF release, mirroring remodeling observed in mice. Our research highlights the potential of collagenases to induce and orchestrate cellular and molecular processes enhancing uterine receptivity for effective embryo implantation. This innovative approach underscores ECM remodeling mechanisms critical for embryo implantation.

Authors:   Sr.IT Security Risk Analyst The Auto Club Group (AAA) Tampa, Florida, USA, Varma Dr.Vinod
Published: August 2024

By improving accuracy, decreasing human error, and permitting less invasive operations, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted surgical robotics is transforming contemporary surgery. The integration of sophisticated algorithms like computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning approaches is the main emphasis of this paper, which examines the state of AI-driven surgical robotics today. Modern approaches like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image-guided navigation and Reinforcement Learning (RL) for autonomous decision-making in surgical tasks are contrasted with traditional methods such as computer-assisted surgery algorithms. Modern AI techniques offer flexibility and continual learning, greatly enhancing results in complicated, real-time circumstances, while traditional systems perform best in organised environments with predefined tasks. The difficulties are also covered, including the necessity for strong legal frameworks, ethical issues, and data protection. Potential future developments include improved human-robot cooperation, fully autonomous surgical systems, and multi-modal data integration for customised surgery. In order to create the path for more successful and efficient surgical procedures, the paper ends by emphasising how AI-assisted surgical robotics has the potential to revolutionise healthcare.

Authors: Sornmanapong Tanut , Wannatoop Tongporn , Phuangphung Peerayuht , Siritongtaworn Chidpong , Muangman Pornprom , Namviriyachote Nantaporn
Published: August 2024

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of poor neurological outcomes and multiple organ failure worldwide. The use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been proposed to increase proximal pressure above the balloon to proximal organs, particularly improving cerebral and cardiac perfusion. This study assessed the prevalence of REBOA candidates and absolute contraindications in major trauma patients with varying TBI severities.Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1158 major trauma patients who were transported to a Level I trauma center in Bangkok, Thailand, between 2020 and 2021. After exclusions, we analyzed two groups: 258 patients with severe TBI and 293 with nonsevere TBI.Results: REBOA candidacy was significantly greater in the nonsevere TBI group (65.5% vs. 37.2%, p < 0.001). This group also exhibited more severe bleeding in regions below the occlusion where bleeding control is critical: abdomen- to-groin (58.7% vs. 29.1%, p < 0.001), intra-abdominal sources (47.1% vs. 23.3%, p < 0.001), and unstable pelvic injuries (19.1% vs. 9.3%, p = 0.002). In addition, the nonsevere TBI group had a greater prevalence of REBOA contraindications: overall (44.0% vs. 1.9%, p < 0.001), aortic (30.4% vs. 1.2%, p < 0.001), and cardiac (18.1% vs. 1.2%, p < 0.001) injuries. Concomitant conditions were more frequent in the nonsevere TBI group (5.5% vs. 1.2%, p = 0.012).Conclusions: The nonsevere TBI group demonstrated significantly more potential REBOA candidates, absolute contraindications, and concomitant conditions than the severe TBI group. These findings underscore the need for a comprehensive evaluation of the advantages of REBOA in unstable patients comparing severe and nonsevere TBI patients.

Everyday life depends on control systems. If a system has a good control system, it will give you the results we want. Through the control system, we can change things like temperature, speed, pressure, level, and other physical numbers to the way you want them to be. There are two kinds of control system: open loop control and closed loop control. The open loop control system is the easiest to use because the person controls the system without getting any feedback. While the closed loop control system will get feedback from the system output so that the system will automatically reach the desired state. Teachers and children at vocational school in Purwakarta get to try out open loop and closed loop control system applications during this community service project. This is important so that teachers and students can get the experience in control system application.

Authors: Putranti Honorata Ratnawati Dwi , Swastuti Endang , Warsono Albertus Kristiyo
Published: August 2024

In some communities, the elderly are often seen as a burden rather than valuable assets. This view not only diminishes their intrinsic value within families and society but also overlooks their potential to make significant contributions. This community service focuses on the importance of integrating the elderly into productive activities that not only improve their health and psychological well-being but also reduce the social and economic burden on the younger generation. Through involvement in environmentally friendly product manufacturing projects such as granular fertilizer and liquid soap made from eco-enzymes, the elderly are given the opportunity to participate in meaningful efforts and become agents of change that support environmental sustainability. This service utilizes a participative approach, emphasizing the active involvement of the community at RW 7, Ngesrep Sub-district, Banyumanik District, Semarang, especially the elderly group (55-75 years), in all stages of activity, from planning to implementation and evaluation. It also involves students as a manifestation of the Institutional Key Performance Indicators (IKU) with indicators of student activities outside the campus. The exploration of these activities is expected to change the public's perception of the elderly, portraying the elderly group as a transformative resource. The introduction of environmentally friendly technology, involving them in production, is expected to enhance environmental sustainability and maximize the welfare of the elderly (Sustainable Elderly). The conclusion of this service underscores the urgency to change policies and social practices to include the elderly more inclusively in all aspects of community life. The implications of these findings lead to policy recommendations that are more focused on the integration and empowerment of the elderly, particularly at RW 7, and the introduction of eco-enzyme product diversification, namely granular fertilizer and liquid soap.

Authors: Dorokhov E. V.
Published: August 2024

Subject. The global economic crisis of 2008, geopolitical crises between 2014 and 2023 and the socio-economic consequences of the COVID‑19 pandemic have a significant negative impact on the stock markets. The result of this influence is a significant increase in stock market volatility and instability.

   The purpose of the article is to develop a methodology for assessing thesustainability of the stock market and, on its basis, carrying out a comparative analysis of the sustainability of the stock markets of the Russian Federation and the USA.

   Methodology. Systematic and comparative analysis is used, as well as statistical methods and methods of the theory of cenoses.

   Scientific novelty: a dimensionless indicator of the stability of the economic system of stock market companies has been developed.

   Results. A methodology is proposed for assessing the sustainability of stock market issuing companies based on its model — economic cenosis. Within the framework of this methodology, a cenological analysis of structural changes and stability of the economic system under consideration is carried out. The developed methodology was tested based on the capitalization data of 100 companies listed on the Moscow Exchange and the S&P 500 index. A comparative analysis of the stability of the stock markets of the Russian Federation and the United States showed a sufficient degree of stability of the Russian stock market in relation to one of the most developed stock markets in the world — the US stock market.

   Conclusions. The proposed methodology makes it possible to assess the sustainability of the stock market as a unified economic system of issuing companies based on their key parameter — capitalization. Maximizing the sustainability indicator makes it possible to determine the potential investment valuation of the selected company shares, provided that the economic system of the stock market, in the process of its evolution, strives for its most stable state.

   Practical significance. The results and conclusions of the article may be in demand not only by regulatory organizations and stock market participants, but also by potential ordinary investors.

Authors: Wahyuni Maulana Fitri Agustustin Nur , Saraswati Erwin , Prastiwi Arum
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to examine the effect of digital technology and corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure on firm value moderated by financial flexibility and firm size. The data collected qualitatively from company websites were analyzed using quantitative content analysis. The moderating impact of financial flexibility and firm size was tested using the Moderating Regression Analysis (MRA) model. Moreover, a criteria-based method was employed to determine samples comprising 135 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2019-2021. The results showed that digital technology and CSR disclosure positively affect firm value. This means the company website information demonstrates to stakeholders that management has optimized resources, implemented innovative models, and increased business efficiency, quality, and consistency. Therefore, it provides a good reputation to investors and potential investors. Other findings showed that financial flexibility and firm size moderate the relationship between CSR disclosure and firm value. The two variables also strengthen the relationship between CSR disclosure and firm value. However, firm size weakens the effect of digital technology disclosure on firm value. Financial flexibility does not moderate the effect of digital technology disclosure on firm value. This study has implications for the management to focus on information quality and quantity in digital technology and CSR in fulfilling the stakeholders’ decision-making needs. http://doi.org/10.26905/jkdp.v27i3.1065       .

Differences between males and females in infectious diseases notifications in the EU/EEA, 2012 to 2021
Authors: Beauté Julien , Innocenti Francesco
Published: August 2024

Background

There are differences between males and females for most diseases both for exposure and course of illness, including outcome. These differences can be related to biological sex or gender i.e. socio-cultural factors that may impact exposure and healthcare access.

Aim

We aimed to quantify differences between males and females in infectious disease notifications in Europe and identify countries with these differences significantly different from the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) average.

Methods

Notifiable infectious disease surveillance data are reported by EU/EEA countries to ECDC. We retrieved surveillance data for 2012−2021. Using a cut-off median of annual disability-adjusted life years above 1 per 100,000 population, we included 16 infectious diseases. We calculated median male proportion and interquartile range by disease, year, country and age group and used boxplots to identify outliers.

Results

For campylobacteriosis, acute hepatitis B, Legionnaires’ disease, malaria and HIV and AIDS, all countries had male proportion above 50%. Most countries had a male proportion below 50% for pertussis (25/28 countries), STEC infection (21/28 countries) and Chlamydia trachomatis infection (16/24 countries). Chlamydia trachomatis infection and listeriosis showed the greatest dispersion of male proportion across age groups. Most outliers were countries reporting few cases.

Conclusion

We observed important differences in male proportion across infectious disease notifications in EU/EEA countries. For some diseases with high male proportions in all countries, such as HIV and hepatitis B, behaviours play a role in disease transmission. Screening offered to specific populations may explain differences across countries for example for C. trachomatis infection.
IN CAPTIVITY OF SCOPUS: «STOCKHOLM SYNDROME» OF UKRAINIAN HUMANITIES
Authors: Zelinska Nadiya , Astaptseva Khrystyna
Published: August 2024

The appearance of a new professional journal “Integrated Communications” expands the opportunities of Ukrainian journalism scholars not only to publish their achievements, but also to activate scientific communication in the field of journalism studies. Considering the important role played by both – journalism itself and the science that investi- gates it in the conditions of the modern information war, this is definitely a positive fact, the relevance of which is given the complete absence of publications in the relevant field, indexed in the Scopus database in Ukraine, and on the other hand, the presence of only 13 specialized publications is beyond doubt.
At the same time, it is precise because of the specific subject matter of journalism that it is a reason to think about what is more beneficial or harmful caused by the obligation to publish the results of research, not only in the field of jour- nalism – in general, in humanities, in indexed publications, where these studies objectively do not have either such an audience or, accordingly, the appropriate power of influence on it, as in the homeland. Humanities researchers not only in Ukraine (V. Mykhaylovskyi, O. Romanova) but also abroad (Diana Hicks, Dejan Pajić, Tanja Jevremov, Marko Škorić, etc.) began to talk about this problem from the very beginning of the “unification” requirements for the publications of “physicists” and “lyricists”.
The purpose of the article is to generalize the views of various researchers on the dubious, from the author’s point of view, the necessity of comprehensive publications for the scientific biography of a scholar-humanitarian, for which an analysis of the state of the information field in thematic and geographical aspects was used.
The result of the conducted research was the conclusion that in the fields of humanities, closely tied to the native in- formation soil, it is much more expedient than searching for indexed publications, distant in real geographical space and indefinitely long in terms of publication time, to activate the existing “pool” of domestic special editions (in particular, due to an increase in the frequency of publication) and the creation of new ones that would more accurately outline the sectoral problems of such a broad field as journalism.
ETHICAL PRINCIPLES OF JOURNALISM IN PUBLISHING MATERIALS ABOUT WAR VICTIMS
Authors: Ulybin Vitalii
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the study of ethical principles of journalism in publishing materials about war victims. The ethical principles of journalism have always been up-to-date. However, with the beginning of the war in 2014 and the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine in February 2022, it was updated and added new content. In this context, there is a big contradiction in the work of modern media with materials related to the use of photographs and images of territories where active hostilities are taking place and persons who have become victims of war. Journalists seek to cover information about war’s progress, but such information can often harm the military and civilians.
The study aims to specify journalism’s ethical principles when publishing materials about war victims.

Containers reused for academic purposes can recreate the built environment on a real scale. Thus, the authors aim at adapting a container as a climate chamber in Belo Horizonte (Brazil) considering its thermal performance. Through a container thermoenergetic model the normative parameters were set to adapt it for this new use. The simulation results pointed out some changes such as light color and walls thermal insulation (glass wool) as well as a green roof. If this adaptation occurs in stages, it would be possible to make these strategies’ costs suitable to the institutional budget.

Indonesia is characterized by the largest Muslim population globally, showing the need for supplements and medicines consumed to be halal (permissible under Islamic law). In this context, cysteine is an essential amino acid crucial for biological functions in humans. It is used as a mucolytic agent to help thin mucus in respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cysteine also serves as a supplement or an antidote to acetaminophen for detoxification or to counteract paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose, a commonly used drugs to relieve pain and reduce fever. Therefore, this research aims to comprehensively review sources of cysteine, production, and use in pharmaceuticals. This research also explores the opinions of scholars regarding halal aspects that need to be considered when developing pharmaceutical product containing cysteine. The methods used included searching through references of research obtained from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, NCBI, Elsevier, the Qur'an, Hadiths, and other Islamic literature sources. The compound structures were visualized using the ChemSketch tool from ACD/Labs. The results showed that mucolytic and acetaminophen drugs, such as acetylcysteine, could be derived from both animal and plant sources through chemical and nonchemical separation processes. As a precursor of acetylcysteine synthesis, the permissibility of cysteine sourced from specific organs, such as pig hair, had different opinions among scholars. However, the prevailing opinions and fatwa tended to depend on prohibition, based on sources, process, and urgency of use.
