Semiotic-Sufistic Interpretation of Imam Al-Ghazali: Case Study of "Verses of Light" in the Holy Qur'an
Authors: Habib Habib , Habib Moh
Published: October 2023

Symbols play an important role in conveying the sufis’ spiritual experience. Describing their mystical journeys has been proven to be challenging because  their journeys occur outside common people’s realm of thinking. Their symbolic framework are only known by those who possess pure hearts and the knowledge of kashf  (a state of religious epiphany where someone was given the power by the God to see what others cannot see). Therefore, this study is aimed to analyze the interpretation of a semiotic-sufistic discourse by Imam Al-Ghazali (1057-1111) on “The Verses of Light” (the Holy Qur’an, Surah An-Nur, Verse No. 35) in one of his works Mishkat al-Anwar. The analysis was directed to some terminologies within the verses such as Allāhu nụrus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, misykât, mishbâh, zujâjah, syajarah mubârakah, and  al-zayt using semiotic-structuralism approach in order to unravel the Holy Qur’an’s semiotic structure and Al-Ghazali’s interpretation which is filled with mysterious symbolic/esoteric messages. The findings in this study indicate that 1) Al-Ghazali expressed his knowledge of ‘irfan (a form of religious and spiritual reality where God’s secrets are unveiled) by utilizing symbols due to difficulties in explaining such spiritual experience in empirical terms to other people; 2) Symbols are the most effective method to decipher messages obtained through kashf. This was the reason why Al-Ghazali chose to use symbols to interpret the messages within the Holy Qur’an; 3) Al-Ghazali’s thoughts about makna batin (the deep messages) can only be interpreted by sufi scholars specializing in mystical intuition method through the holy prophetic spirit. By using this method, these scholars can understand the deep messages behind the realm of al-Malakut (the unseen) through suluk, a way of life where people stick to the teachings of Islam very deeply and with extraordinary commitment to please Allah, the Almighty God
Classification Of Mammogram Breast Cancer Using Customized Deep Learning Model
Authors: A Anbumani , PJayanthi *
Published: October 2023

According to GLOBOCAN 2020, breast cancer is the most prevalent
cancer and affects many women globally after lung cancer. Detecting and
diagnosing breast cancer earlier may decrease the disease’s death rate.
A radiologist can use computer-aided detection/diagnosis technologies to
help make an early diagnosis of breast cancer. One of the most popular
and efficient techniques for identifying and diagnosing breast cancer is
mammography. Deep learning architectures called convolutional neural
network (CNN) models were developed to classify breast cancer correctly.
This paper presents breast cancer classification using a customized
deep-learning model. Two custom CNN models are suggested to classify the
breast cancer mammography image efficiently. The effectiveness of the
suggested classification approach was assessed using three real-time
datasets: MIAS, CBIS-DDSM, and INbreast. The outcomes demonstrate that
the suggested approach efficiently classifies the image and achieves
98.78%, 96.92%, and 97.84% accuracy for MIAS, CBIS-DDSM, and INbreast
datasets.

Published: October 2023

Fomitopsis pinicola is a medicinal fungus in basidiomycetes with a wide
range of medicinal properties, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory,
anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity properties. In this study, the
protective effect of F. pinicola mycelia polysaccharides (FPMPS) against
alcohol-induced injury was assessed using serum biochemical indices and
hepatic and cecal morphology. Moreover, the potential mechanisms of
action of FPMPS against acute alcohol-induced liver injury in vivo were
investigated using gut microbiota and transcriptome analysis. The result
showed that FPMPS modulated alcohol metabolism, restored serum lipid
levels, and maintained hepatic and cecal morphology. FPMPS ameliorated
gut microbial disorders caused by alcohol to protect the liver. In
addition, FPMPS regulated retinol metabolism, bile secretion,
inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels, and the PI3K-Akt
signaling pathway to relieve acute alcoholic liver injury. In addition,
the retinol metabolic pathway plays an important role in the preventive
effects of FPMPS against alcoholic liver injury. Therefore, FPMPS can be
used as a potential new drug for the prevention of acute alcohol-induced
liver injury and as a health food with auxiliary functions.
Genomic signatures of hybridization between Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus

Published: October 2023

Identifying hybridization between common pathogen vectors is essential
due to the major public health implications through risks associated
with hybrid’s enhanced pathogen transmission potential. These hard-ticks
Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus are the two most common vectors of
tick-borne pathogens that affect human and animal health in Europe. I.
ricinus is a known native species in Finland with a well-known
distribution. Over the past 60 years, I. persulcatus has expanded in
range making the species appear in areas previously not found in
Finland. Here we used double-digest restriction site-associated DNA
(ddRAD) sequencing on 92 ticks (morphologically identified as 46 I.
ricinus, and 46 I. persulcatus) collected across Finland to investigate
whether RAD generated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
discriminate tick species and identify hybridization events. Two
different clustering methods were used to infer the specific species
based on how they clustered and identified hybrids among them. We were
able to discriminate between the two tick species and identified five
putative hybrids with admixed genomic proportions ranging from
approximately 25 to 75 percent. Four of these hybrids were
morphologically identified as I. ricinus and the other as I.
persulcatus. Our results suggest that RAD SNPs are robust for
identifying both species of the ticks as well as their hybrid
individuals. These results suggest ongoing hybridization between I.
ricinus and I. persulcatus in their natural populations in Finland. This
study is a significant step in understanding the formation of
hybridization zones due to range expansion potentially associated with
climate change. Despite our findings, our data are insufficient for
resolving the factors that affect population genetic structure within
species.
Artificial Intelligence--Based Data Path Control in LEO Satellites--Driven Optical Communications
Authors: Wrona Andrea , Tantucci Andrea
Published: October 2023

Free Space Optical Communication has emerged as a promising technology
for high-speed and secure data transmission between ground stations on
Earth and orbiting satellites. However, this communication technology
suffers from signal attenuation due to atmospheric turbulence and beam
alignment precision. Low Earth Orbit satellites play a pivotal role in
optical communication due to their low altitude over the Earth surface,
which mitigates the atmospheric precipitation effects. This paper
introduces a novel data path control law for satellite optical
communication exploiting Artificial Intelligence-based predictive
weather forecasting and a node selection mechanism based on
Reinforcement Learning. Extensive simulations on three case studies
demonstrate that the proposed control technique achieves remarkable
gains in terms of link availability with respect to other
state-of-the-art solutions.
SIMULTANEOUS SOLUTION OF INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOWS USING PICARD ITERATION AND FINITE-DIFFERENCE SCHEMES
Authors: S Supreeth Sultanpur
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we revisit the simultaneous numerical solution method for
the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations through Picard’s iteration. In
a simultaneous method, all the primary variables at all the grid points
are solved simultaneously, as opposed to the sequential method,
where the primary variables are solved sequentially. This is a
consequence of retaining the coupling between the primary variables.
After a brief review of the previous studies where the simultaneous
solution is attempted in the finite volume context, the discretization
of the governing equations and the idea of Picard’s iteration are
discussed. We employ second-order accurate central difference schemes to
approximate the first and second-order spatial derivatives. We present
numerical solutions of 2D lid-driven cavity flow and flow past a
backward-facing step for low and high Reynolds numbers and compare the
solutions and the performance of the method to that of an OpenFOAM
solver. We conclude by discussing the advantages of the simultaneous
solution method and the major hurdles in its widespread deployment.

Published: October 2023

Pediatric sleep-related breathing disorders, or sleep-disordered
breathing (SDB), cover a range of conditions including obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), sleep-related hypoventilation
disorders, and sleep-related hypoxemia disorder. Pediatric SDB is often
underdiagnosed, potentially due to difficulties associated with
performing the gold standard polysomnography (PSG) in children. This
scoping review aims to: 1) provide an overview of the studies reporting
on safe, noncontact monitoring of respiration in young children; 2)
describe the accuracy of these techniques, and 3) highlight their
respective advantages and limitations. PubMed and EMBASE were searched
for studies researching techniques in children <12 years old.
Both quantitative data and the quality of the studies were analyzed. The
evaluation of study quality was conducted using the QUADAS-2 tool. A
total of 17 studies were included. Techniques could be grouped into
bed-based methods, ultra-wideband (UWB) radar, Doppler radar, video,
infrared (IR) cameras, garment-embedded sensors, and sound analysis.
Most either measured respiratory rate (RR) or detected apneas; five
aimed to do both. Noncontact sleep monitoring techniques are safe, but
accuracy data of these techniques is limited, and large heterogeneity
exists regarding study quality and stage. Motion artifacts affect
accuracies of apnea detection. Sleep respiration analysis could benefit
from sleep stage classification and breathing sound analysis. Further
research is crucial to facilitate easily accessible and safe non-contact
methods for respiration monitoring in a home setting.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Atrial tachycardia(AT) occurring from the right
atrial appendage(RAA) is relatively uncommon, while the catheter
ablation is complicated by the anatomic characteristics.
Methods: We reported a case of 60-year-old male patient who was
admitted with incessant AT. Results: The tachycardia activation
mapping demonstrated that the AT originated from the tip of RAA. Pulsed
field ablation(PFA) using the circular mapping&PFA catheter terminated
AT without any complication. Conclusions: This case
corroborates that PFA might be an alternative strategy for ablation of
atrial arrhythmia originating from the atrial appendage.

Published: October 2023

Background: Geriatric population are at high probability of receiving
inappropriate medications as a result of lack of education,
polypharmacy, and multiple comorbidities. The study aimed to assess the
potentially inappropriate medications in the geriatric patients visiting
a tertiary care teaching hospital. Methods: The study was a prospective
observational study which was carried out for a duration of 6 months
involving inpatients of Vivekananda general hospital. START and STOPP
criteria were used to assess the potentially inappropriate medications.
Excel database was used to assess and store the data collected
throughout the duration of study. Results: In this Study, 210 geriatric
subject’s prescriptions were analysed, among which 161 were males and 49
were females. The mean age of study participants was 69.5 (±5.0) years.
The study population was analysed for potentially inappropriate
medications using START and STOPP criteria, among which 112
prescriptions had 173 START and STOPP errors. A total of 132 potentially
prescribing omission errors were observed in 103 prescriptions involving
13 START criteria. Similarly, 41 potentially inappropriate medication
errors were observed in 38 prescriptions involving 9 STOPP criteria.
Conclusions: Our study highlights the importance of pharmaceutical care
among the geriatric patients. The study suggests that patients, doctors
and other health care providers should have fundamental aspects and
knowledge of START and STOPP criteria for elderly population to avoid
inappropriate prescribing in elderly.
A literature review on the therapeutic applicability of cannabidiol in epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease
Authors: Sampaio Maria de Fátima dos Santos , Paiva Yara Bezerra de , Sampaio Tuane Bazanella , Pereira Messias Gonzaga , Coimbra Norberto Cysne
Published: October 2023

Neurodegenerative diseases have complex etiologies, however,
neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are important markers in this
pathogenesis and, in this sense, cannabinoids, especially CBD, have been
identified as potential therapeutics for playing a neuroprotective role.
Studies have demonstrated the neuroprotective effect of cannabinoids and
derivatives of Cannabis sativa L in diseases of the central
nervous system due to their interaction with the endocannabinoid system
through receptors and other molecular targets. The aim of this review
was to provide an overview of the endocannabinoid system and a summary
of the clinical and preclinical findings of the therapeutic use of
cannabinoids in epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease,
pointing out interactions with molecular targets and the potential for
neuroprotection of CBD. Electronic searches were carried out in
international databases, including studies that presented consistent
data on this subject. Significant therapeutic effects of CBD were shown
for epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, while nabiximols contributed to
the reduction of spasticity, being a frequent option for the treatment
of multiple sclerosis. Although much has been projected on the
therapeutic potential of cannabinoids for neurological disorders, there
is a long way to go in the search for strong scientific evidence of
their pharmacological effectiveness.
Quantification of Subsurface Au nanoparticles in tissue simulating media using spatial frequency domain imaging
Authors: Monte A. F. G. , Mendes A. C. M. , Saager Rolf
Published: October 2023

Au nanoparticles (NPs) can be used in a wide range of applications,
particularly in the biomedical area, where their strong absorption
cross-section can enhance contrast in tagged biological tissues for
tumor imaging and diagnostics. We propose a new methodology to measure
the Au NP spatial distribution within superficial tissue volumes.
Silicone tissue phantoms were used as a background medium with a priori
knowledge of tissues’ optical properties measured by spatial frequency
domain imaging (SFDI). A lookup-table (LUT) was then created for
deducing the optical properties of embedded Au NPs with different
spatial concentrations and depths at multiple spatial frequencies. We
have developed an analytical solution from this LUT to determine the
embedded NP concentration in-depth as a function of the measured spatial
frequency-dependent optical absorption. SFDI was able to localize the
NPs with a 3D perspective spatially. These results provide the
groundwork for future studies on mapping NPs in-vivo.

Published: October 2023

Aims The co-occurrence of soil microorganisms and plants is of great
significance in revealing the material cycle. The study of the community
structure and co-occurrence network relationship of rhizosphere soil
fungi of the relict plant Alsophila spinulosa can reveal the mechanism
of constructing soil fungal communities. Methods The community structure
and co-occurrence network characteristics of soil fungi in the
rhizosphere of A. spinulosa were analysed using Illumina Miseq
sequencing technology and co-occurrence networks. Results The
rhizosphere soil fungal communities of A. spinulosa are significantly
different from those in the nonrhizosphere soil. The rhizosphere soil
fungal phylogeny of A. spinulosa was concentrated in Ascomycota,
Mortierellomycota, and Rozellomycota. Aggregation of
Cutaneotrichosporon, the main differential species, significantly
affected the construction of the rhizosphere fungal community of A.
spinulosa. The indicator fungal groups of the rhizosphere soil fungal
community of A. spinulosa were significantly influenced by habitat.
Saprotrophs are the main fungi responsible for material exchange in A.
spinulosa. Increase in the relative abundance of animal pathogens was
the main factor affecting the percentage of pathotroph. The rhizosphere
soil fungal co-occurrence networks of A. spinulosa had high synergism
and network connectivity, and more intense interspecies competition at
the order level. Conclusions Overall, the rhizosphere soil fungal
community of A. spinulosa altered significantly, with a stable
co-occurrence network. Continuous in-depth study on the growth of the
key soil fungi can help understand the growth mechanism of A. spinulosa.
The dynamic role of the left dlPFC in Neurovisceral Integration: Differential effects of Theta Burst Stimulation on vagally-mediated Heart Rate Variability and cognitive-affective processing
Authors: Schmaußer Maximilian , Raab Markus , Laborde Sylvain
Published: October 2023

Adapting to the ever-changing demands of the environment requires a
complex interplay between cognitive-affective, neuronal, and autonomic
processes. Vagally-mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) is positively
associated with both cognitive-affective functioning and prefrontal
cortex (PFC) activity. Accordingly, the Neurovisceral Integration Model
has posited a shared role of the PFC in the regulation of
cognitive-affective processes and autonomic nervous system (ANS)
activity. While there are numerous correlational findings in this
regard, no study so far has investigated whether the manipulation of PFC
activity induces changes in vmHRV and cognitive-affective processing in
an inter-dependent manner. In this study, we examined the effects of
continuous (cTBS) and intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) over
the left dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) on vmHRV and cognitive-affective
processing within an emotional stop-signal task (ESST) in 66
participants. Our results revealed that both resting vmHRV and
reactivity, at least partly, predicted cognitive-affective processing.
Furthermore, we found a dampening effect of cTBS on resting vmHRV, as
well as an enhancing effect of iTBS on ESST performance. Our results
show no direct association between vmHRV changes and ESST performance
alterations following stimulation. We interpret our results in the light
of a hierarchical model of neurovisceral integration, suggesting a
dynamical situation-dependent recruitment of higher-order cortical areas
like the dlPFC in the regulation of the ANS. In conclusion, our results
highlight the complex interplay between PFC activity, autonomic
regulation, and cognitive-affective processing, emphasizing the need for
further research to understand the causal dynamics of the underlying
neural mechanisms.

Published: October 2023

The emergence of e-commerce has sparked a huge change in consumer behavior, transforming how individuals purchase and conduct transactions. E-payment has become a pillar of this digital transition. However, some customers are still hesitant to adopt e-payment despite its advantages. This paper aims to unravel the factors influencing customer intentions to use e-payment for online shopping. Based on a review of existing literature on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM Model) and additional external factors, a proposed model was developed to test consumer's intention to use e-payment for online shopping. The result of this study would be useful to understand consumers’ behaviors in employing electronic transactions when making payments for online purchases. This paper also provides valuable insights for e-payment service providers and online retailers on how to promote sustainable online shopping in the future.
Enhancing Workplace Well-Being: A Multidimensional Approach to Person-Environment Fit
Authors: Ahmad Siti Nurul Akma , Abdul Rasool Mohamed Saladin , Md Jani Syahrina Hayati , Yuliawan Rahmat , Ma'ruf Anwar , Ali Siti Mariam
Published: October 2023

This review paper covers important gaps in the knowledge of Person-Environment Fit. PE fit is widely described as the compatibility between an individual and their work environment and more specifically the individual level criteria. However, there are several recurring issues in the P-E fit approach to stress, including a theoretical problem of inadequate distinction between different versions of fit; confusion between different functional forms of fit; and methodological problems relating to poor measurement of fit components and inappropriate analysis of the impact of fit on strain. Various studies and reviews have still fallen short of providing a comprehensive measure of PE fit, with most of the previous studies focusing exclusively on single fits of either person-job fit or person-organisation fit. Therefore, the current study aims to review the multidimensional measures of the PE fit study to gain a comprehensive view of the PE fit approach in enhancing workplace well-being. This study contributes to the occupational stress literature by delineating how the multidimensional measures of PE fit are associated with work-related stress and the possible outcomes related to both employees and organizational aspects indirectly. Future research may fill in these gaps and broaden the scope of the person-environment fit study.
Thermodynamic experimental study of an Algerian condensate gas
Authors: Harche Rima , Mouheb Abdelkader , Rezig Ilhem , Bekkouche Imane
Published: October 2023

When a gas field is discovered, the gas condensate is often in a gaseous
single-phase state in the reservoir under pressures and at temperatures
which are higher the greater the depth. During operation, the pressure drop
in the repository results in liquid deposits in both the repository and
surface facilities. These liquid deposits are composed for the most part of
heavy constituents of great importance for the producer. They are usually
unrecoverable. For this, we carry out a thermodynamic study, called the PVT
study, the object of our current work concerning the condensate gas coming
from a newly discovered deposit in southern Algeria. A series of
experiments was carried out, making it possible to experimentally determine
physical-chemical and thermodynamic properties. A GPC analysis was then
performed to determine the gas condensate composition under study.

Published: October 2023

The global problem of air pollution is exacerbated by large-scale pandemics
and the catastrophic consequences of the war in Ukraine. To solve the
problems of air purification, a technological scheme and equipment for
plasma-chemical air treatment with a module for combined catalytic and
thermal decomposition of excess ozone are proposed. Approbation of the
scheme with the combined method of ozone destruction on oxide-cement
catalysts showed an increase in ozone conversion by 10 - 15%. At the same
time, the energy consumption for the implementation of the combined method
of ozone destruction using heat pump recovery is 7-10 times less compared to
the direct method of air heating.

Published: October 2023

The present study reports the Quantitative Structure-Ecotoxicity Relationship
(QSER) analysis of a series of 21 1,3,5-triazine derivatives based on
multiple-linear regression (MLR) method. The ecotoxicity data were
estimated by using in silico approach and included the following parameters:
acute algae toxicity (AAT), acute daphnia toxicity (ADT), Daphnia Magna LC50
48h/EPA (DMepa) and Daphnia Magna LC50 48h/DEMETRA (DMdemetra). The
ecotoxicity data were correlated with molecular descriptors selected by
using the stepwise selection method. The considered molecular descriptors
are lipophilicity descriptors (CrippenLogP, ALogp2), Autocorrelation
Descriptor Mass (ATSm1, ATSm2, ATSm3, ATSm4), Autocorrelation Descriptor
Charge (ATSc2), minimum E-states for (strong) hydrogen bond acceptors
(minHBa), maximum E-states for (strong) hydrogen bond acceptors (maxHBa),
second kappa shape index (Kier2), maximum atom-type E-State: ?:N:? (maxaaN),
sum of path lengths starting from nitrogens (WTPT-5) and McGowan
characteristic volume (McGowan_Volume). The modeling resulted in four
statistically valid MLR models. The models were validated by the internal
and external validation approaches. The external validation confirmed high
predictive ability of the established MLRs.
Comparative analysis of the gelling, retrograding and rheological properties of emmer starch compared to other cereal starches
Authors: Dzhivoderova-Zarcheva Mina , Shopska Vesela , Kostov Georgi , Denkova-Kostova Rositsa
Published: October 2023

In today?s dynamic development of food technologies it becomes necessary to
study alternative sources of starch to replace the traditionally used ones.
Characteristics such as granule size, gelling properties, retrogradation and
rheology are fundamental for the selection of starch in the food industry.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the possibilities for
application of an emmer starch in food industry by comparing its main
properties with two other cereal starches, isolated from rice and wheat. The
results showed that the emmer starch had a similar granule size and
structure, with increased amylose content as the wheat starch. This was also
the reason for the similar gelling and retrograde properties as wheat
starch. In terms of retrogradation, the highest results showed emmer starch
and the lowest - rice starch. Emmer starch had the lowest onset temperature
of gelatinization, and the peak temperature of gelatinization was 76.3?C.
The starch gel obtained with emmer starch has the lowest viscosity but the
most shear resistance compared to that with wheat and rice starch.

potential of these types of waste as raw materials for producing value-added
products, such as microbial enzymes, using solid-state or submerged
fermentation systems. Among all the bacterial genera utilized in the
production of industrially important enzymes, the Bacillus genus stands out
as the most extensively employed for this purpose. In this study, the
production of various enzymes such as protease, pectinase, cellulase,
xylanase, lipase, and gelatinase was evaluated using the different Bacillus
strains isolated from vegetables? rhizosphere. The growth zones and halos
were observed to determine production of the following enzymes: cellulases,
proteases, pectinases, xylanases, gelatinases and lipases, confirming the
breakdown of complex substrates in the medium. Bacillus Pap 3 exhibited the
highest EAI (enzymatic activity index) value (4.00) for pectinase activity,
indicating its remarkable extracellular level of pectinase performance. The
highest enzymatic activity in terms of halo zone diameters was achieved in
the case of cellulases and xylanases production by the isolates Mah 1a and
Mah 1b. Further research would be directed towards the production of the
tested enzymes by Bacillus spp. on the waste streams of food and
agroindustry, but also towards the utilization of the proven enzymatic
activity to obtain other microbial value-added products to develop viable
bioprocess solutions usable in the circular economy context.

Objective: Preventive care services are important to prevent or delay complications associated with diabetes. We reported trends in receipt of six American Diabetes Association recommended preventive care services during 2008–2020.

Research Design and Methods: We used 2008–2020 data from the cross-sectional Medical Expenditures Panel Survey to calculate the proportion of U.S. adults ≥18 years of age with diagnosed diabetes that reported receiving preventive care services, overall and by subpopulation (n = 25,616). We used Joinpoint regression to identify trends during 2008–2019. The six services completed in the past year included ≥1 dental examination, dilated eye examination, foot examination, ≥2 A1C tests, cholesterol test, and receipt of an influenza vaccine.

Results: From 2008–2020, proportions of U.S. adults with diabetes receiving any individual preventive care service ranged from 32.6% to 89.9%. From 2008–2019, overall trends in preventive services among these adults were flat except for an increase in influenza vaccination (average annual percent change: 2.6% [95% CI: 1.1%, 4.2%]). Trend analysis of subgroups was heterogeneous: influenza vaccination and A1C testing showed improvements among several subgroups, while cholesterol testing (45-64 year age, < high school education, Medicaid insurance) and dental visits (uninsured) declined. In 2020, 8.2% (4.5%, 11.9%) of those with diabetes received none of the recommended preventive care services.

Conclusions: Other than influenza vaccination, we observed no improvement in preventive care service utilization among U.S. adults with diabetes. These data highlight services and specific subgroups that could be targeted to improve preventive care among adults with diabetes.
