Published: November 2024

Abstract: To improve the quality of treatment and care for heart failure patients, there is an importance of educating patients about self-care and coordinating among cardiologists, cardiological nurses and nutritionists. A prospective and interventional study was conducted in 86 patients who admitted due to acute heart failure at the department of cardiological emergency and intensive care in Vietnam National Heart Institute, Bach Mai Hospital, from July 1st, 2022 to October 31th, 2023.
Results: Of the 86 participants, the highest age group was over 75 years old, accounting for 45.5%, males were 55.8%, higher than females being 44.2%. The general nutritional knowledge score was 11.4%, with 72.5% of participants having cognition at a medium level. The knowledge of them about weight was about half (53.8%), about sodium restriction was 51.2% and they were in medium level. After 1-month of discharging, there was improvement in practice (10.78%), compared to 7.8% in admission. There was a significant difference about nutritional self-care between before and after discharged 1 month (t=10.88, p<0.001). There was no statistical significance between the percentage of malnutrition at admission (23.3%) and at discharge (29.1%). 46.5% of patients were interrupted in nourishment while practicing procedures, accounting for 23.3%. After intervention, three-fourths achieved more energy and the most in the sixth day.

Never at Home in Glome: A Rhetorical Account of C. S. Lewis's Last Novel
Authors: Mattson Craig E. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

The rhetoric of Lewis's last novel Till We Have Faces dramatizes not so much the conflict hut the convertibility of sacred and secular discourses. A close reading of the novel reveals a shift in the depiction of discourse from a visual/aural dualism to a visual/aural integration. This shift further dramatizes a move from agonistic to identificatory rhetoric in the discourse of the story's narrator By tracing these turns, this essay searches out not only the resources of rhetorical theory as a way to interpret this novel, but also the resources of this novel's rhetoric to inform the practice of religious discourse.
Dorothy Day, the Cathohc Workers, and Moderation in Religious Protest during the Vietnam War
Authors: Mehltretter Sara Ann ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

This essay assesses how the leaders of the Catholic Worker Movement responded to the debate within the American Catholic Church and the American Catholic peace movement over moderate and radical protest tactics during the Vietnam War era. By appealing to their shared religious identity the Catholic Workers retained ties with the radicals and the more conservative institution. The Catholic Worker Movement's restrained rhetoric also de-radicalized their own protest actions and positioned the Catholic Workers as the moderate voice of the American Catholic peace movement during the 1960s and 1970s. The experience of the Catholic Workers suggests that rhetorics of religious radicalism may be moderated by religious identification, prompting engagement This engagement may facilitate opportunities for expression of difference among religious factions and, sometimes, provoke institutional change. Keywords: Dorothy Day, Catholic Worker Movement, Vietnam War, Daniel Berrigan, Philip Berrigan, social movements, religious movements. Catholic Church, protest tactics, rhetoric.
Religion in the African Public [Health] Square: The case of HIV-related stigma
Authors: Miller Ann Neville ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

Opinion on the relationship of HIV-related stigma to religion in Africa is divided. Although many authors in the field of public health argue that religious messages about conservative sexual morality promote stigmatization, other scholars insist that religious entities are actually well suited to combating stigma. This essay considers major points of the arguments on both sides and then examines empirical evidence for each. It concludes that virtually no well-contructed empirical studies have evaluated stigmatization by religious entities. The handful of African studies which address stigmatization by religious individuals suggest that religious persons stigmatize no more, and in some cases less, than society in general. Studies are needed in which stigmatization by religious individuals and organizations is compared to stigma in the general population, as well as studies in which the effectiveness of stigma-mitigation interventions by both religious and non-religious organizations is compared.

Exhaustion of neurotransmitters storage
Authors: Vasiliev Ilie , Vasilieva Irina , Vasilieva Maria , Pintea Diana , Ion Mihaci , Gorenco Doina , Burcovscaia Tatiana
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Synaptic vesicles are located on presinaptic nerve terminals that accumulate high quantities of neurotransmitters, which are subsequently secreted by fusion with the presynaptic plasma membrane. Neuropeptides are stored in this dense core vesicles. Because of the vesicular storage of neuropeptides when a neuron is activated it rapidly release them in a relatively large bolus

Material and methods: There were analyzed articles from PubMed and ScienceDirect database from the last 5 years, 2019-2024, mentioned such words as “neurotransmitters”, “synaptic vesicles”, “secretory granules” [1], and also up to 2019, representing the relevance of today [2-4].

Results: Neurotransmitters mediated neural communication. Secretory granules store release neuropeptides in response to various stimuli synaptic vesicles undergo. To support rapid and repeated rounds of release, synaptic vesicles undergo a trafficking cycle in the nerve terminal, on the cell membrane [5], and mitochondria due to Ca++ mpt pore [6], which has important clinical significance for the creation of artificial hibernation for the purpose of restoration and neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, neuromodulators. Including reducing the disorder of pain signal transmission in the chain of Transduction, Transmission, Modulation, Perception and many others [7-10]. Synaptic vesicle recycling is one of the best-studied cellular pathways. Many of the proteins involved are known, and their interections are becoming increasingly clear. Synaptic vesicles bind soluble cofactor proteins, with low affinity, and thus control theirs availability in the synapse, forming a buffer for cofactor proteins.

Conclusion: For example in glutamatergic nerve endings, synaptic vesicle accumulate and store a proplrtion of the cellular glutamate pool and, in response to appropriate signals release glutamate into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Glutamate accumulation is accomplished by virtue of a glutamate uptake system [11] present in the synaptic vesicle membrane. The uptake system consists of a transport protein notably specific for glutamate which provides the coupling between ATP hydrolysis and glutamate transport. Having the goal of maintaining homeostasis as the basis of integral of functional systems taking into account clinical pathophysiology [12-19]. In mathematical and geometric interpretations [18] to improve Total Quality Management (TQM) in diagnostics based on markers [20,21] and of treatment in medicine and preserving human medical resources [22,23].

The effectiveness of Lego manipulatives in solving area problems involving squares and rectangles for Grade 3 students
Authors: Cueva Cristina P , Susada Bryan L
Published: November 2024

Problem-solving skills, specifically in solving routine and non-routine problems involving areas of squares and rectangles, are foundational to various mathematical concepts; however, learners consistently find these concepts challenging to master. This study at San Rafael Integrated School (2023-2024) investigated the impact of using Lego kits to teach Grade 3 students how to solve routine and non-routine problems involving the areas of squares and rectangles. Using a quasi-experimental methodology, two groups of 30 students each were compared: a control group taught with traditional methods and an experimental group taught using Legos. Pre-test results indicated that neither the control nor the experimental group met the expectations set by the K to 12 grading system, with 7.41 and 9.12 scores. Although both groups exhibited similar initial proficiency levels, the notable difference in pre-test scores can be attributed to various factors (including the students' value for mathematics). However, despite their appreciation for the subject, many still struggle with fundamental skills and concepts; this may have influenced their performance in the pre-test. Post-test results (however) revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group's performance, with a mean score of 25.28 compared to the control group's 16.07. The findings demonstrate the superior efficacy of the Legos as a manipulative kit over traditional methods in solving routine and non-routine problems involving areas of squares and rectangles. Thus, teachers may incorporate Legos as manipulative kits early in the school year to provide a visual and tactile learning experience that helps students build a concrete understanding of mathematical operations.

The global status of sharks, rays, and chimaeras
Authors: Barbosa Martins Ana , Sinclair Sally
Published: November 2024

In the 20 years since the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Shark Specialist Group’s (SSG) first status report (Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras: The Status of the Chondrichthyan Fishes), much has changed for sharks, rays and chimaeras. This report updates our understanding, and the scope of information in its 2,000-odd pages reflects the scale of these two decades of change. The breadth of research topics has expanded, mirroring the inclusion of a greater diversity of species, and attention is being trained on the emerging threats and the accelerating global changes to aquatic ecosystems. The diversity of researchers who contribute to science and conservation within the SSG network and beyond, and of the regions they investigate and endeavour to conserve, has grown exponentially: 353 contributors have compiled information for 10 (arbitrary) geopolitical regions, delving into information from 158 countries or jurisdictions with a coastline. The 2005 report heralded a sea change for sharks, rays and chimaeras, whose historical obscurity in policy, conservation and fisheries management was a serious concern as the pace of their declines threatened to outstrip our information for and attention to them. In this report, the increased focus that was called for is now apparent in the scale of work happening across the planet.
An Onomasticon-Based Quantitative Method for Identifying of Storylines in a Literary Work
Authors: Vasilyeva Varvara V. , Klyshinsky Eduard S.
Published: November 2024

One of the branches of digital humanities research is the analysis of the structure of literary works. Among the research directions in this field, the creation of a social network of character interactions is particularly popular. Another important task is the analysis of the structure of a work, the identification of narrative units, and their comparison. This article proposes a quantitative method for identifying plot lines based on the analysis of character names and location names. The author’s division of the text into chapters is used as the unit of analysis, as it most adequately reflects the overall intent. The method is based on finding intersections of the onomastic content of chapters, with intersections evaluated using the Dice coefficient. The presence of a metric allows for the construction of a chapter connectivity graph, from which the most connected fragments can be extracted using the Louvain algorithm. The method has been tested on M. A. Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita. Primarily, the plotline of Yeshua and Pilate in Yershalaim was separated from the events in Moscow. The Moscow events were divided into three subplots: the story of the MASSOLIT members and their relationship with the Master, the Moscow Variety Theater and its employees, and Margarita’s story. The story of Woland and his retinue was closely intertwined with the other plots and did not form an independent fragment.

Published: November 2024

In a construction project, a significant part of the costs and construction process is controlled by materials. It is possible to significantly increase productivity at the construction site with successful material management. In this study, first, a comprehensive literature review on material management processes was conducted and how material planning, material procurement, material acceptance and inspection, storage and inventory control, material handling and productivity issues were discussed in the literature was reviewed. Then, the contribution of nine criteria regarding material management to productivity was evaluated through surveys conducted at different construction sites. The study revealed that there were significant differences between the participants’ evaluations according to their gender, education level, profession and construction site size. However, according to general evaluations, the most important criteria were found to be proper storage of materials, identification of critical materials and proper handling of materials. It is evaluated that the study will be a guide for stakeholders in the establishment of material management processes.
Elimination of oscillation causing Hopf bifurcations in engineering problems
Authors: Sridhar Lakshmi N.
Published: November 2024

Bifurcation analysis was performed on various engineering process problems that exhibit undesirable oscillation causing Hopf bifurcations. Hopf bifurcations result in oscillatory behavior which is problematic for optimization and control tasks. Additionally, the presence of oscillations causes a reduction in product quality and in some cases causes equipment damage. The hyperbolic tangent function activation factor is normally used in neural networks and optimal control problems to eliminate spikes in optimum profiles. Spikes are similar to oscillatory profiles and this is the motivation to investigate whether the hyperbolic tangent function activation factor can eliminate the oscillation causing Hopf bifurcations. The results of this paper show that the hyperbolic tangent function activation factor eliminates the Hopf bifurcations. Bifurcation analysis is performed using The MATLAB software MATCONT. Five examples involving problems that exhibit Hopf bifurcations are presented.

Published: November 2024

As it is commonly recognized, the phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR) is increasingly prevalent on a global scale, posing significant challenges in the realm of treatment. MDR refers to a condition where resistance to various medications, which may differ in their chemical composition and mode of action, arises due to the presence of numerous mechanisms. In response to multidrug resistance (MDR), developing technologies in the field of nanotechnology, particularly Nanocarrier, are being utilized as counteractive measures. Nanocarrier refers to biodegradable materials that are employed in the field of drug delivery. Their primary function is to improve the solubility of medications that have low solubility, boosting their bioavailability. Additionally, nanocarriers enable the timed release of drugs and facilitate the accurate targeting of specific areas inside the body. Nanocarriers exhibit a diverse range of morphologies and dimensions, encompassing nanofibers, nanocomposites, nanoparticles, and nanotubes. These nanocarriers can be administered through injection, subcutaneous delivery, or intramuscular administration. In this review article, we focus on different nanocarriers and their use in MDR.
VCLT and the Peaceful Coexistence of Tax and Investment Treaties: A Case Study of Limited MFN Clauses and the FET Standard
Authors: Kuźniacki B. , Van Weeghel S.
Published: November 2024

The general purpose of this article is to demonstrate that customary international law (CIL) has a significant role to play in connecting international tax law and international investment law. Bridging a gap between those sources of international law is not only an important endeavour in the theory of law but also in practice. This article purports to achieve the abovementioned general purpose by focusing on the application of the rule and principles of interpretation under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT), which represent a codification of CIL, to limited most favoured nation (MFN) clauses in tax treaties. The hypothesis of the authors is that a serious failure in a proper application of the VCLT to interpret the MFN clauses in tax treaties may lead to a violation of international investment agreements (IIAs), in particular the fair and equitable treatment (FET) standard. The analysis and conclusions are relevant to all tax treaties and IIAs containing the MFN clause and FET standard, respectively. They are also of relevance for the interpretation of all provisions of tax treaties, not only the limited MFN clauses, in accordance with the VCLT. Examining tax treaties through the lens of the FET standard allows the FET standard to be seen as a gateway for the systemic integration of tax treaties in accordance with the principle enshrined in article 31(3) (c) of the VCLT, because some of core elements of that standard are deeply rooted in sources of international law (general principles of law and custom).
